Authors:   Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, Peresini Virginia , Tumas Natalia ,   Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Acevedo Gabriel Esteban ,   Universidad Nacional de Córdoba
Published: August 2024

Objetivo: Analizar la asociación entre determinantes sociales y de género con la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud (cvrs) en barrios sociosegregados de Córdoba (Argentina) en 2019. Metodología: Estudio epidemiológico observacional de corte transversal, de 380 personas usuarias adultas de un hospital público. Para valorar la cvrs, se indagó sobre salud autorreferida, bienestar físico (dolor/malestar) y mental (ansiedad/depresión). Se estimaron modelos de regresión logística múltiple estratificados por género. Resultados: Las mujeres con más tiempo promedio dedicado al trabajo no remunerado tuvieron mayores probabilidades de autopercibir un estado de salud como malo o regular (or: 1,03; ic 95 %: 1,01-1,04) y ansiedad/depresión (or: 3,50; ic 95 %: 1,78-6,90). En cambio, aquellas con mayor nivel socioeconómico manifestaron menor probabilidad de salud autopercibida como mala/regular (or: 0,05; IC 95 %: 0,00-0,66). En los varones, el estar casado o en pareja (or: 2,12; IC 95 %: 1,04-4,30), tener un mayor nivel educativo (or: 0,29; IC 95 %: 0,09-0,90) y cobertura de salud (OR: 0,28; IC 95 %: 0,10-0,74) se asociaron con menor probabilidad de salud autopercibida como salud mala/regular. Aquellos con mayor nivel educativo tuvieron menor probabilidad de ansiedad/depresión (OR: 0,27; IC 95 %:0,08-0,96). Las personas expuestas a violencia física o verbal presentaron mayores probabilidades de ansiedad/depresión: en las mujeres (or: 3,50; IC 95 % 1,78-6,90) y en los hombres (or: 2,42; IC 95 %: 1,08-5,44). La cobertura de salud en las mujeres se asoció a una menor probabilidad de dolor/malestar (OR: 0,37 IC 95 %: 0,17-0,81). Conclusión: los determinantes sociales y de género tienen un importante rol en la cvrs en contextos sociosegregados de Córdoba. Resulta recomendable que ello sea tenido en cuenta al momento de implementar estrategias sanitarias tendientes a mejorarla.
Salud Pública Global y Pandemia de COVID19: un espectro temático
Authors:   Universidad Visión de las Américas, Giraldo Álvaro Franco
Published: August 2024

Introducción: Al considerar que la pandemia de la COVID 19 se originó por causas estructurales del actual modelo de desarrollo mundial, dada la relación política de la naturaleza con el sistema capitalista, las consecuencias se deben examinar siguiendo esta misma línea de interpretación. Sin embargo, aún no se define una estructura temática que pueda relacionar la salud pública con la pandemia. Objetivo: El presente artículo reflexivo sobre la pandemia de la covid 19, analiza el contexto político de la pandemia, tanto global como regional en Latinoamérica y establece algunos nexos conceptuales y académicos con la salud pública. Métodos: Se basa en una revisión narrativa (rápida) de orden temático, en Pubmed, Lilac y Scielo, mediante los operadores booleanos "pandemia covid 19" and "salud global" and "impacto social", en los últimos 5 años. Se obtuvieron 178 artículos en Lilac, 69 en Scielo, 132 en Pubmed y 36 en google académico: en total 415 resultados. Se investigan algunos ejes trazadores para el análisis de esta contingencia global: modelo económico, cambio climático y salud, las crisis epidemiológicas, sistemas de salud y otros relacionados. Conclusión: Se concluye sobre el impacto de la pandemia, que ha sido grande en la práctica de la salud pública. La pandemia ha acentuado falencias estructurales de la salud pública, tanto técnicas como políticas; unas atribuibles al Estado y otras a los salubristas. Se consideran algunas alternativas, con capacidad de resiliencia ante esta sindemia.

Published: August 2024

Multicultural education of Indonesia calls for future’s educational leaders with a high level of intercultural sensitivity (IS). Hence, this mixed-method study investigated the IS of 784 educational management students from 10 universities in Indonesia, and their representatives’ IS factors. They were recruited as the samples because their background knowledge supports their profiles as the future’s educational leaders. The first objective was pursued by conducting a quantitative survey, and the second objective was pursued by undertaking an instrumental case study. This study revealed that the educational management students had a high level of IS as demonstrated by high values of all IS domains. Their high IS level was influenced by three factors which entailed experiences of living with diversity, noticing the multiculturalism of Indonesia, and accepting differences. At the end of discussion and conclusion sections, implications and suggestions for future’s studies are given.

Moving from a segregated to a coeducational context: Exploring Iranian female medical students' ownership and investment in language learning
Authors: Navidinia Hossein , Hekmati Nargess
Published: August 2024

The present study examined Iranian female medical students' transition from a segregated school system to a coeducational university context to uncover how they invested in their learning in the new context. The participants of this qualitative study were 23 female medical students, taking a general English language course in a mixed class of 54 students. This was their first experience of being in a coeducational environment. During the term the researchers/instructors observed the class, and also the students were interviewed to examine their understanding and feelings about this experience and its influence on their learning. The data were analyzed through thematic analysis. Taking Norton's (2015) investment model as a point of departure, the findings showed that female students invested in language learning by focusing on the capital, identity, and ideology that they were dealing with in the coeducational class. The findings showed that despite the common belief in the Iranian society that female learners are shy in coeducational settings, the participants invested in learning and owned their identity as medical students. They considered the class as a miniature setting to learn how to cooperate effectively with the male students to be ready for the mixed environment of their future profession.
Neurosis de Clase en las Escuelas Secundarias Chilenas: Abajismo, Arribismo y Negación Identitaria
Authors: Lopez Andrea
Published: August 2024

Este estudio exploró las nociones de clase socioeconómica en los discursos y prácticas de estudiantes, profesores y administrativos, en tres escuelas secundarias chilenas de diferente nivel socioeconómico. Los datos provienen de un estudio etnográfico más amplio, centrado en los discursos y prácticas de ciudadanía en estas escuelas. Se observó que los estudiantes se aproximaban a su clase socioeconómica desde una posición de negación o “desreconocimiento”, involucrándose en prácticas de “arribismo” o “abajismo”, para aparecer como perteneciendo a una clase social superior o inferior, respectivamente. Ello puede ser entendido como una forma de “Neurosis de Clase” (De Gaulejac, 2000), que involucra sentimientos de culpa, inferioridad y rechazo asociados al origen social. Estos fenómenos eran promovidos desde el discurso de los adultos y la cultura escolar, e interpelaban la subjetividad de los estudiantes, que se involucraban en prácticas de code-switching y vigilancia de sí mismos y sus compañeros. Se evidencia cómo la escuela a contribuye a mantener la estructura social a través de la complacencia con la promesa meritocrática, afectando cómo los estudiantes se ven a sí mismos como parte de sus comunidades, cómo construyen expectativas acerca del futuro, y cómo entienden que se pueden involucrar cívicamente.
Methods of karyoplast cell cycle synchronization for increasing the efficiency of somatic cloning of farm animals
Authors: Zhukova Anastasia S.
Published: August 2024

Somatic cloning is a method of obtaining genetically identical offspring, which for some reason have extremely low efficiency. Methods to increase the effectiveness of this procedure aimed at optimizing each of its stages, one of which is karyoplast preparation. In most experiments, to obtain cloned offspring, oocytes are used as recipient cells at the metaphase of the second meiotic division without prior activation, which determines the choice of somatic cells as karyoplasts at the G0/G1 stage, the most optimal for subsequent nuclear reprogramming by oocyte cytoplasmic factors. Serum starvation and/or contact inhibition are the most commonly used methods for arresting cells in this phase, which allows the arrest of up to 90% of cells at the G0/G1 stage. Despite the effectiveness of these methods, they have some significant limitations; therefore, the addition of components to the culture medium of somatic cells that prevent the progression of cells through the cell cycle stages is becoming widespread. Some chemical inhibitors have a protective effect on somatic cells, preventing the induction of apoptotic changes. Although the efficacy of butyrolactone I, mimosine, and aphidicolin application is controversial, several studies have attested the possibility of using these drugs to synchronize the karyoplasts. Thus, several methods can be employed for effective synchronization of the cell cycle of karyoplasts. When choosing the optimal method, the type of cells, species of animals from which they were obtained, and permissible duration of cultivation under given conditions must be considered to minimize the negative effect of conditions on karyoplast viability.

Published: August 2024

This study aimed to isolate a fungal strain capable of producing acidophilic and thermostable polygalacturonase. In this study, the fungal isolate was isolated from decaying tomatoes. Based on the colony characteristics, microscopic and morphological observations, the isolated fungal pathogen has been identified as Aspergillus niger. The isolated fungus was used in solid-state fermentation to produce an acidic polygalacturonase enzyme. The enzyme was then purified using ammonium sulphate precipitation and column chromatography, and its activity was assayed by measuring the releasing sugar group from citrus pectin using a 3, 5-dinitrosalicylic acid (DNSA) reagent assay. The crude extract obtained from solid-state fermentation had an activity of 94.6 U/mL. Ammonium sulphate precipitation increased the enzyme's specific activity from 6.89 U/mg to 12.42 U/mg. Sephadex G-200 was used to purify the enzyme 3.58 times, and its specific activity was determined to be 24.66 U/mg. The Sephacryl S-100 column achieved a final fold purification of 9.93 times and a specific activity of 68.41 U/mg. The purified enzyme performed best when polygalacturonic acid was used as a substrate. The enzyme's optimum temperature and pH were 55°C and 5, respectively. CaCl2 was found to be the best chelating ion for the enzyme. This enzyme is recommended for use in a variety of industrial applications as the enzyme was found to be stable at acidic pH and high temperature.

Authors: Koca Abdurrahman Sami , Kaçar Gülay
Published: August 2024

Maize is one of the most significant cereal crops in the world, and insect pests cause the highest economic loss. The objective of this study was to assess the level of insect pests and their natural enemies during 2020 and 2022 in the maize fields of Düzce and Sakarya, Türkiye. We performed weekly surveys from the vegetative growth stage of maize to harvest from April through November. A hundred plants were selected with regular and irregular samplings from each field. In addition, light traps and pheromone traps were placed in regularly sampled fields. To detect overwintering larvae, the stalks left in the field after the harvest were cut just above the soil. In the maize fields, a total of 13 pest species from six families in four orders, along with 19 natural enemies from eight families in five orders, were identified. Ostrinia nubilalis Hbn. (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) was found as the primary pest, followed by Helicoverpa armigera Hbn. and Mythimna unipuncta Haw. (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). Meteorus pendulus Müller (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) was a new record for the East Marmara and Western Black Sea regions and a new host record in Türkiye. Larval parasitoids of M. unipuncta, Nemoraea pellucida Meigen, and Pales pavida Meigen (Diptera: Tachinidae) represent new host records for Türkiye. Among the predators, Orius minutus L. (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) and coccinellids showed an especially notable common in the maize fields of both provinces.
Intelligent Beta-Based Polynomial Approximation of Activation Functions for a Robust Data Encryption System
Authors: Issaoui Hanen , ElAdel Asma , Zaied Mourad
Published: August 2024

Deep neural network-based machine learning algorithms are widely used within different sectors and produce excellent results. However, their use requires access to private, often confidential, and sensitive information (financial, medical, etc). This requires precise measures and particular attention to data security and confidentiality. In this paper, we propose a new solution to this problem by integrating a proposed Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model on encrypted data within the constraints of homomorphic encryption techniques. Specifically, we focus on the approximate activation functions ReLU, Sigmoid, and Tanh, which appear to be the key functions of CNNs. We start by developing new low-degree polynomials, which are essential for successful Homomorphic Encryption (HE). The activation functions will be replaced by these polynomials, which are based on the Beta function and its primitive. To make certain that the data is contained within a given range, the next step is to build a new CNN model using batch normalization. Finally, our methodology and the effectiveness of the proposed strategy are evaluated using Mnist and Cifar10. The experimental results support the proposed approach’s efficiency.
Truncating the Drive of Yahoo-Yahoo in Nigeria: The Relevance of Surah At-Takhathur
Authors: Muhammad Usman Jimoh , Sulaiman Muhammad
Published: August 2024

The paper looks at the increasing nature of cybercrime activities, particularly yahoo-yahoo in Nigeria. The paper adopted descriptive and evaluative methods of research to gather and analyze relevant data. The paper identifies some cases of this crime in society to validate its position. The findings show that the influence of peer groups, parental and societal support, unemployment, and many others account for the growing nature of crime in society. While the paper posits that the criminal gain from Yahoo activities is temporal, it draws attention to the concept of life after death and accountability as enumerated in Qur’an chapter 102 as a deterrence to the people’s inordinate quest for wealth at all costs. The paper recommends a more robust orientation of people by both religious leaders and appropriate government agencies on the need to have the human mind and no devilish nature. The government and the well-to-do people in society are also encouraged to join hands to address the problem of unemployment.

Published: August 2024

The issue of women in business or women in entrepreneurship has attracted much attention from researchers and practitioners in recent years, particularly in developing countries. This is due to the ability of women entrepreneurs to make a significant contribution to economic growth, country development, and escaping poverty. However, what determines their critical success factors as women entrepreneur is still under research. Thus, the purpose of this study is to examine the determinants of business sustainability specifically among women entrepreneurs.  This study is original as it focuses on the business performance of women entrepreneurs during the pandemic crisis. This research used a market survey among women entrepreneurs as its research design and data collection. Seven constructs, comprised of six independent variables and one dependent variable, were used in the study. The independent variables are competency, marketing capability, financing resources, technology usage, motivation, and family support, while the dependent variable is business sustainability. This study used Resource-based View Theory (RBV) as its foundation for the research framework. This study finds that only family support influences business sustainability, while the other construct does not provide any conclusive evidence. This empirical study suggests that more support and training need to be provided by government agencies to ensure the survivability of women entrepreneurs in Malaysia.
Does Nigeria’s underdeveloped financial sector harm non-crude oil export trade? Empirical evidence from linear and non-linear models
Authors: Ogunjumo Rotimi Ayoade , Ibitowa Stephen Adesina , Onabote Ademola Andrew
Published: August 2024

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of financial sector development on Nigeria’s non-crude oil export trade. For this reason, we employ a battery of econometric models and tools, including the Autoregressive Distributed Lag model and the sequentially determined threshold model. The study found that financial sector development and export of non-crude oil merchandise are unrelated in the long term, which challenges theoretical view that financial sector development and trade are linked at any time. The study further showed that, in the short term, the country's level of financial sector development, though shallow and seeming underdeveloped, is able to support exports of non-crude oil products. This finding challenges theoretical view that lower levels of financial sector development could hinder non-crude oil export trade flows. The study, however, found a threshold effect showing a minimum level of financial sector development that promotes non-crude oil export trade, which indicates that the relationship between financial sector development and non-crude oil export is non-linear, which contradicts the theoretical view. The study recommends that Nigerian policymakers and the government adhere strictly to the minimum level of financial sector development; otherwise, non-crude oil export trade may worsen.
Jordanian early childhood teachers' beliefs regarding best practices utilizing developmentally appropriate/inappropriate practices as a benchmark
Authors: Fayez Merfat
Published: August 2024

The main objective of this study is to investigate the beliefs of early childhood teachers in Jordan regarding best practices using the Developmentally Appropriate Practice (DAP) and Developmentally Inappropriate Practice (DIP) frameworks. Additionally, the study aims to determine the influence of certain variables on teachers' beliefs regarding best practices. To achieve this objective, a questionnaire was developed and administered to 101 early childhood teachers in Jordan. The data collected was analyzed descriptively using means and standard deviations. The results of the study showed that early childhood teachers' beliefs about best practices were consistent with the DAP construct outlined by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). Similarly, their beliefs about lower-quality practices were in line with the DIP construct. However, the study also revealed that teachers still held positive beliefs about some traditional practices despite their potential to be developmentally inappropriate. Furthermore, the statistical analysis showed that there were no statistically significant differences in the beliefs of teachers regarding best practices based on their education level or teaching experience. Based on the results of the study, recommendations are made for decision makers and researchers to help them make informed decisions and develop effective professional development plans, which could help early childhood teachers in Jordan to implement DAP effectively. Overall, the findings of this study provide valuable insights that can be used to enhance early childhood education and improve the quality of teaching practices in Jordan.

Published: August 2024

Transferring wealth and ownership in family businesses is a pivotal juncture that can either strengthen the family legacy or dismantle its foundations. However, this paper examines the effect of inheritance risk management and family business practices on family business sustainability. It also discusses the mediating role of regulatory environment in the Middle East. Nevertheless, quantitative analysis was used to investigate the direct and indirect effects of IRM and FBP on the regulatory environment and family business sustainability as well as the mediating role of the regulatory environment using a quantitative approach through a survey design. However, a total of 116 questionnaires were collected through purposive sampling from the responses. The study sample consisted of managers who were contacted through email and social networking sites. Moreover, Smart PLS 4.1.0.1 was used to test the research hypotheses. The findings indicate that IRM and FBP have significant and positive effects on the regulatory environment in terms of the sustainability of family businesses. The result also confirms the mediating effect of the regulatory environment. The results emphasize the importance of a comprehensive approach to managing family businesses both in addressing internal and external challenges as strategic planning, innovation and governance structures appear as key factors affecting the sustainability of family businesses. This study suggests avenues for future research and provides practical implications for decision-makers, policy makers, practitioners and academics seeking to develop family businesses and the long-term resilience of family businesses in the Middle East.

Published: August 2024

Objectives: This study evaluated the effect of a flipped oral health educational program for primary healthcare providers (PHCPs) on their knowledge, attitude, and practice.Materials and Methods: This field trial was conducted on PHCPs (N=118; 61 cases and 57 controls) in District Health Centers (DHCs) of Tehran, Iran in 2012. The participants filled out a self-report questionnaire with questions on knowledge (N=34), attitude (N=8), and oral health practice (N=14). The intervention included an educational booklet delivered to the staff followed by a brief educational session using the flipped approach and a reminder pamphlet after 1 month. After 4 months, the questionnaire was completed again by the participants. Statistical analysis included paired sample t-test, ANCOVA, and linear and logistic regression.Results: Most participants were females (N=114), and the mean age was 37±8 years. The scores of the three domains of knowledge and also the total knowledge score, the attitude score, and the practice score significantly improved in the intervention group compared to the control group (P<0.001). Knowledge about the oral health of children (P=0.001) and the total knowledge score (P<0.05) significantly increased in the control group, but the increase in other domains was not statistically significant (P>0.05).Conclusion: The oral health knowledge of PHCPs was insufficient, and their practice and attitude were not desirable. The oral health educational program with the flipped approach had a positive impact on the PHCPs’ knowledge, attitude and practice, and may be utilized in the academic curriculum or continuing medical education (CME) courses.

Authors:   Head of the Directorate for the Petrogradsky District of Saint Petersburg of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, Bykov Kirill V.
Published: August 2024

The author has developed and presented the concept of a law enforcement function implemented by the state, and the implementation of this function is considered on the example of the migration sphere. The author declares the need to revise the norm enshrined in part 7 of Article 32.10 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation. As organizational measures aimed at identifying and suppressing administrative offenses committed in the field of migration, it is proposed to create operational groups in the territorial bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia at the district level, whose activities should be aimed at the daily implementation of measures aimed at identifying, suppressing, fixing (documenting) administrative offenses, as well as crimes related to migrants.
Unpacking the Complexity: Why Current Feedback Systems Fail to Improve Learner Self-Regulation of Participation in Collaborative Activities
Authors: Ochoa Xavier , Huang Xiaomeng , Charlton Adam
Published: August 2024

Even before the inception of the term learning analytics, researchers globally had been investigating the use of various feedback systems to support the self-regulation of participation and promote equitable contributions during collaborative learning activities. While some studies indicate positive effects for distinct subgroups of learners, a common finding is that the majority of learners do not modify their behaviour, even after repeated interventions. In this paper, we assessed one such system and, predictably, did not find measurable improvements in equitable participation. Informed by self-regulated learning theory, we conducted a mixed-methods study to explore the diverse paths that learners take in the self-regulation process initiated by the feedback. We found that the observed deviations from the expected path explain the difficulty in measuring a generalized effect. This study proposes a shift in research focus from merely improving the technological aspects of the system to a human- and pedagogicalcentred redesign that takes special consideration of how learners understand and process feedback to self-regulate their participation.
RESÍDUO CERO PARA LA ECONOMÍA CIRCULAR: LA IMPORTANCIA DE LOS MUNICÍPIOS Y SUS POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS DE ECONOMÍA CIRCULAR
Authors: Custódio Maraluce Maria , Junqueira José Claudio , Torres Manrique Jorge Isaac
Published: August 2024

El creciente aumento de la producción de residuos en la sociedad brasileña debido a la urbanización, las nuevas tecnologías y la industrialización ha llevado a la presión sobre los recursos naturales, haciendo necesario pensar en nuevas formas de salvar la naturaleza y contaminar menos áreas, mediante la construcción de espacios para eliminar estos residuos. De esta forma, la economía circular surge como una forma de resolver esta situación. Este estudio busca comprender si existe la posibilidad de establecer una economía circular en Brasil, analizando la Política Nacional de Residuos Sólidos y los papeles de los entes federados en su implementación, especialmente, el municipio, el ente más cercano a la sociedad. Se utilizó como metodología la investigación cualitativa, descriptiva, con método deductivo y técnica bibliográfica. El marco teórico es la teoría sobre el municipalismo de Valdemir Pires, que defiende el aumento del papel del municipio en el ejercicio de las políticas públicas por ser más eficiente para el desarrollo económico y para el medio ambiente. Al final se concluye que es necesario, no sólo, darles competencias a los municipios, sino principalmente ofrecer fondos para que puedan implementar e incentivar a otros actores a lograr la economía circular.
Identification, Molecular Characterization and Preliminary Functional Analysis of Three SLC27A Full-CDS cDNAs from Water Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis)
Authors: Zhou Fangting
Published: August 2024

Background: Solute carrier family 27 family (SLC27As) have been identified to be involved in long chain fatty acid uptake in various tissues and cells, but their function in buffalo is unclear. Buffalo is an important dairy animal in some parts of the world. Buffalo milk contains more fat, protein, lactose and minerals than cow’s milk. The objective of this study was to identify the buffalo SLC27A1, 2 and 6 genes and to describe their characteristics, structure and basic function. Methods: The full-length coding sequences (CDSs) of SLC27A1, 2 and 6 were isolated from Binglangjiang buffalo and bioinformatics analyses were used to provide insights into the physicochemical characteristics, structure and function of their encoded proteins. Result: The CDSs of buffalo SLC27A1, 2 and 6 were 1941 bp, 1863 bp and 1905 bp in length, respectively, encoding 646, 620 and 634 amino acid residues accordingly. Their proteins FATP1, 2 and 6 have no signal peptide but a transmembrane helix with the N-terminus located outside the membrane and the C-terminus located in cytoplasmic side. All three proteins contain AMP-binding domains that belonged to AFD_class_I superfamily and may play a crucial role in the transport of fatty acids. The amino acid sequences of buffalo FATP1, 2 and 6 showed more than 88.6% identity with other species of Bovidae and more than 76.4% identity with other species of mammals. The phylogenetic tree showed that buffalo FATP1, 2 and 6 clustered in their respective clades and buffalo was more closely genetically related to other species of the Bovidae family. These findings suggest that buffalo FATPs are more similar in function to other species. The present study will provide a theoretical basis for further investigation of the functions of FATP1, 2 and 6 in buffalo lipid metabolism, especially milk fat metabolism.

Published: August 2024

Direct translation of the Arabic Qur'an to other languages exists with the closest literal meaning due to the several absences of the exact equivalent meanings of words. Abdullah Yusuf Ali did one of the popular translation works from Arabic to English. One translation issue is the translator's bias, which leads this study to analyze the linguistic relations and contextual meanings in the English Qur'an translation to disclose the bias issue within and enclose prejudication arose. This qualitative study used the mixed technique of semantic analysis in four steps. The data of this research is the English translation of Chapter Al-Kahf (The Cave) verses 65-82 by Abdullah Yusuf Ali. The results of this study enclosed four types of lexical relations and four types of contextual meaning. Also, this study unintentionally found that the synonymy and antonymy pair categories consist of one verse pair and a different verse pair. Uniquely, a category of homonymy and five unrevealed patterns of contextual meaning used are also found in this study. This study concluded that the English translation of the Qur'an, Chapter Al-Kahf verses 65-82 by Abdullah Yusuf Ali has used several procedures to preserve the message within the Qur'an from being misinterpreted by the reader.

Öğretmenler, öğretim sürecinde ders kitapları dışında çeşitli yardımcı kaynaklar kullanır. Bu araştırmada Türkçe öğretmenlerinin derslerde kullandıkları yardımcı kaynakların neler olduğu, yardımcı kaynakları kullanım sıklıkları ve gerekçelerini belirlemek amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç için araştırma, karma yöntem modellerinden yakınsayan paralel desene göre tasarlanmıştır. Araştırmanın nicel bölümü tarama, nitel bölümü olgubilim desenine göre yürütülmüştür. Çalışma grubundaki 92 Türkçe öğretmenine yardımcı kaynak kullanım anketi ve 46 Türkçe öğretmenine görüşme formları uygulanarak veriler toplanmıştır. Elde edilen nicel veriler betimsel analize, nitel veriler içerik analizine göre çözümlenmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda Türkçe öğretmenlerinin yardımcı kaynakları sıklıkla kullandıkları belirlenmiştir. Derslerde kullanılan bu yardımcı kaynaklar; soru bankası, akıllı defter, etkinlik kitabı, sözlükler, konu anlatımlı kitaplar, çalışma kâğıtları, dil bilgisi kitapları ve deneme sınavları gibi eğitim öğretim araçlarıdır. Ayrıca derslerde web siteleri, dijital uygulamalar, EBA, videolar, ders sunuları, e-kitap, kelime oyunları, animasyon, fotoğraf ve resimler gibi dijital yardımcı kaynakların da kullanıldığı belirlenmiştir. Türkçe öğretmenlerinin yardımcı kaynakları; konuları pekiştirmesi, dersi somutlaştırması ve öğrencileri sınava hazırlamada yardımcı olması gibi gerekçelerle derslerde kullandıkları belirlenmiştir. Öğretmenlere göre bu yardımcı kaynaklar öğrencilerin derslere etkin katılımını sağlamakta ve bilişsel gelişimlerini desteklemektedir. Öğretmenlere göre öğrencilerin dil becerilerinin gelişiminde de yardımcı kitaplar ve öğretim materyalleri etkilidir. Okullarda sıklıkla kullanılan bu yardım kaynakların çeşitlendirilmesi, zenginleştirilmesi ve amaca uygun geliştirilmesi öğretim sürecine katkı verecektir.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Kovid-19 geçiren evli yetişkinlerin bağlanma yaralanmaları, başa çıkma stilleri ve ilişki doyumları arasındaki ilişkileri incelemektir. Araştırma grubunun oluşturulmasında amaçlı örnekleme yönteminden yararlanılmıştır. Araştırma grubu Kovid-19 geçirmiş 228’i kadın (%68,50) ve 105’i erkek (%21,50) toplam 333 evli yetişkin bireyden oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma verilerinin toplanması amacıyla “Kişisel Bilgi Formu” “İlişki Doyum Ölçeği”, “Stresle Başa Çıkma Tarzları Ölçeği”, “Evlilikte Bağlanma Yaralanmaları Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Araştırma verileri SPSS 21.00 paket programı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmanın amacı doğrultusunda veri analizinde betimsel istatistikler ile parametrik olmayan nicel analiz yöntemlerinden Kruskal-Wallis H testi, Sperman-Rho Koralesyon Analizi ve Mann-Whitney U testi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma bulgularına dayalı olarak elde edilen sonuçlara göre, Kovid-19 geçirmiş evli yetişkinlerin başa çıkma stilleri ve ilişki doyumları cinsiyete göre, başa çıkma stilleri ve bağlanma yaralanmaları hastalığın şiddetine göre ve bağlanma yaralanmaları ve ilişki doyumları hastalığın evlilik ilişkisi üzerindeki etkisine göre anlamlı bir şekilde farklılaşmaktadır. Ayrıca Kovid-19 geçirmiş evli yetişkinlerin başa çıkma stilleri, bağlanma yaralanmaları ve ilişki doyumları arasında anlamlı ilişkiler olduğu bulunmuştur. Probleme dayalı başa çıkma stilleri arttıkça bağlanma yaralanmaları azalmakta, duygulara dayalı başa çıkma stilleri arttıkça bağlanma yaralanmaları da artmaktadır. Probleme dayalı başa çıkma stilleri arttıkça ilişki doyumları artmakta duygulara yönelik baça çıkma stilleri arttıkça ilişki doyumları da artmaktadır. Kovid-19 geçirmiş evli yetişkinlerin bağlanma yaralanmaları ile ilişki doyumları arasında da negatif yönde ilişki bulunmuştur. Çalışmanın bulguları ilgili literatüre dayalı olarak tartışılmış ve gelecek çalışmalar için önerilerde bulunulmuştur.

Endüstriyel tasarım eğitiminde “Temel Tasarım” dersinin önemi birçok akademik çalışmada belirtilmiştir. Türkiye’deki endüstriyel tasarım programları incelendiğinde, temel tasarım dersi programların ilk senelerinde yer almaktadır. Bu ders, endüstriyel tasarıma giriş dersi ile birlikte sayısal ağırlıklı eğitim sisteminden gelen öğrencilerin tasarım düşünce ve uygulama yapısı ile tanıştıkları, üniversite eğitimi öncesi alışık oldukları öğrenme ve uygulama sisteminden tasarım eğitim sistemine geçiş sağladıkları bir süreç olarak ele alınmaktadır. Bu süreçte özellikle temel tasarım ilkeleri ile düşünebilme, fikirlerini iki ve üç boyutlu olarak ifade edebilme ve bilgi ve becerileri kazanımları beklenmektedir. Temel Tasarım dersinin 20. Yüzyılın ilk yarısında sanat ve tasarım disiplinlerini kapsayıcı uygulamalı bir eğitim modeli olarak tanımlanmak ile birlikte, günümüz tasarım eğitiminde tasarım bilgisi, tasarım becerileri ve teknik altyapıyı geliştiren içeriklerden oluşmaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı, temel tasarım dersi kazanımlarının öğrencilere aktarımının irdelenmesi ve öğrencilerin ders çıktıları üzerinden kazanımlarını değerlendirilmesidir. Çalışmada örnek durum olarak Ondokuz Mayıs Üniversitesi Endüstriyel Tasarım Bölümü Temel Tasarım dersi öğrencileri ele alınmıştır. Ders içeriğinde yapılan konu sunumları, öğrenci çalışmaları ve değerlendirmeleri çerçevesinde öğrencilerin ders çıktılarını irdelemeleri sağlanarak dersten elde edilen öğrenci kazanımları ölçülmüş, öğrencilerin bu dersten edindikleri kazanımları değerlendirmeleri sağlanmıştır. Araştırma çerçevesinde iki dönemlik ders planına sahip olan Temel Tasarım dersini alan 50 öğrenciye iki aşamalı anket uygulaması yapılmıştır. Ankette öğrencilerin ders öğrenim çıktıları üzerinden en güçlü ve en zayıf çıktıları değerlendirmeleri istenerek önerilerine yer verilmiştir.
İSLAMİ ÖĞRETİDE ÇEVRESEL SÜRDÜRÜLEBİLİRLİK: KAVRAMSAL BİR ANALİZ

Genel anlamda 19.yüzyıldan itibaren doğal kaynaklar üzerindeki aşırı ve süregelen baskı, sanayileşme ve teknolojik gelişmelerle beraber tehlikeli boyutta ulaşmıştır. Doğal kaynakların insanlar tarafından sanki hiç tükenmeyecekmiş algı ve düşüncesiyle aşırı/bilinçsiz/yanlış kullanımı doğal dengenin bozulmasına neden olmaktadır. Bu çalışma Birleşmiş Milletler (BM) tarafından 2015 yılında çevrenin/doğal kaynakların korunmasına yönelik olarak geliştirilen sürdürülebilir kalkınma hedeflerinin (yoksulluk/yoksunluğu sona erdirme, ormanları ve okyanusları koruma, sağlık ve eğitim alanlarında iyileştirme, ekonomik büyümeyi teşvik etme vb.) İslam'ın çevreyi korumaya yönelik öğretileri ve Hazreti Muhammed (sav) asırlar önce uyguladığı çevre uygulamalarıyla nasıl uyumlu olduğunu vurgulamaktadır. Makale aynı zamanda İslami öğretide yer alan sürdürülebilirlik örneklerine/modellerine dikkat çekerek günümüzde çevre sorunlarının çözümünde bireyleri/toplumları teşvik etmenin yanısıra dini ve bilimsel kuruluşların, çevrenin korunması ile ilgili rolünü ilerletmek için bu öğretileri yeniden canlandırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Neticede sürdürülebilirlik kavramına ilişkin İslami öğretilerin konumlanışları ve özellikle Birleşmiş Milletler (BM) raporlarında yer alan hedefleri karşılıklı değerlendirmeyle analiz edilmiştir Anlaşılan İslami öğretiler, özellikle yoksulluk ve açlığın ortadan kaldırılması, sorumlu tüketim/üretim uygulamaları gibi parametreler açısından BM gündeminin ilke ve hedefleriyle yakından ilişkilidir. Diğer taraftan İslami öğretiye göre insan doğanın koruyucusudur aynı zamanda doğayı koruma/kollama sorumluluğu ona aittir ve diğer tüm canlılarla uyum içinde bir arada yaşamak zorunluluğu bulunmaktadır. Sözkonusu bu sorumluluk küresel ekolojik krizin çıkış noktası olarak görülmelidir
NAZLI ERAY ROMANCILIĞI VE BÜYÜLÜ GERÇEKÇİLİK
Authors: Polat Şabaş Esra

Türk edebiyatı sözlü geleneğinin yabancı olmadığı büyülü gerçekçilik yirminci yüzyıla gelindiğinde yerini modern roman anlayışına teslim etmeye başlar. Bu dönemle birlikte tahkiye geleneğinin farklı bir boyuta taşındığı edebiyat realizmle iç içe geçen metinler üretmeye ve salt gerçekliği anlatmayı önceler. Büyülü gerçekçilik Türk Edebiyat geleneğinin yabancı olmadığı bir sanat akımı olsa da postmodern edebiyatın anlatım olanakları dâhilinde anlatıyı girift bir hâle getirebilmektedir. Daha çok fantastik edebiyatla karıştırılan büyülü gerçekçilik bir sanat akımıdır. Nazlı Eray, ilk Türk romanı olarak Giritli Ali Aziz Efendi’nin 18. yüzyılın sonlarında yazdığı Muhayyelât’ı kabul eder ve böylece yazar kendi sanat anlayışını da ilan etmiş olur. Nazlı Eray, insanoğlunun ruh dünyasını, düşlerini, arzularını, korkularını, tutkularını, hayallerini, masallardaki gibi yarattığı bir dünyada postmodern edebiyatın olanaklarını zaman ve mekânda yaptığı kaymalarla başka bir boyuta taşıyarak Türk Edebiyatı için avangart sayılabilecek bir anlatıma kapı aralar ve araladığı bu kapıyı Türk Edebiyatının sözlü geleneğinde var olan olağanüstüye yaslar. Postmodern edebiyat okurunu kurmacanın dünyasında dolaştırırken okuru farklı boyutlara davet eder. Farklı dünyalara davet edilen okur kurmacayı kendi zihninde tamamlar. Anlatım tarzı ve ele aldığı konularla dikkatleri üzerine çeken yazar, eserlerindeki imgeler, metaforlar, anlatımdaki küçük ayrıntıları yönünden de değerlendirilir. Bu çalışmada Nazlı Eray’ın romanlarında büyülü gerçekçilik anlayışına yer verilmiştir. Büyülü gerçekliğin ne olduğu açıklanırken yazarın kendine has sanat akımını yorumlanışı üzerinde durulmuştur.

Anahtar Kelimeler: roman, büyülü gerçekçilik, büyülü belgesel gerçekçilik.
