Sir Seyyid Ahmed Han’ın Hadis Anlayışının Oryantalizm ve Sömürgecilik Açısından Kritiği
Authors: Kalkan Salih , Akoğlu Muharrem
Published: March 2024

Hindistan’da on yedinci yüzyıldan itibaren görülmeye başlayan İngiliz mevcudiyeti, Doğu Hindistan Şirketi’nin takip ettiği askeri politikalarla on dokuzuncu yüzyılda devasa bir sömürge imparatorluğuna dönüştü. İngilizler, kendilerine Endüstri İnkılabını bahşeden Hint Alt Kıtasının kaynaklarını sınırsız bir şekilde sömürürken aynı zamanda yerli halkın bu durumdan şikâyet etmesinden ziyade, bilakis memnuniyet duymasını sağlayıcı bir takım kültür politikalarını hayata geçirmeyi amaçladı. Söz konusu bu amaç çerçevesinde istihdam edilen oryantalistler, on dokuzuncu yüzyıl Batı modernitesi ekseninde gelişen düşünce ve yaşam biçiminin bölgeye ithal edilmesinde ve yerliler arasında ideal bir “değer” olarak yayılmasında öncü oldular. Alt Kıta’nın “modernleştirilmesi” kapsamında gerçekleşen bu faaliyetler, Hindu inancına mensup olanlar arasında makes bulurken, Hintli Müslümanlar tarafından bu değerler kolaylıkla üstlenilmedi. Özellikle İngiliz idaresine karşı tertiplenen 1857 Ayaklanmasının merkezinde Müslümanların görülüyor olması, modernleştirme çabalarının söz konusu tarihten sonra Müslümanlar özelinde yoğunlaştırılmasına neden oldu. Fakat İslam inancının mü'minlerin zihinlerini kuşatıcılığı ve Hz Peygamber’in söz ve fiillerinin Müslümanların günlük yaşamlarının tanzim edilmesindeki merkezi konumu, emperyal beklentilerin eşlik ettiği bu “modernleştirme” çabalarının Hintli Müslümanlar tarafından üstlenilmesinde, onları muhafaza eden bir fonksiyon icra etmiş gibi görünmektedir. Bu bağlamda elinizdeki çalışma, Alt Kıta’da istihdam edilen İngiliz oryantalistlerden Aloys Sprenger (ö. 1893) ve Sir William Muir’in (ö. 1905) Hz. Peygamber’in söz ve fiilleri hakkında ortaya koydukları iddiaların, modernist bir düşünür olan Seyyid Ahmed Han’ın (ö. 1898) hadis anlayışındaki iz düşümlerine ve Seyyid Ahmed Han’ın hadis anlayışının sömürgecilik bağlamında kritik edilmesine odaklanmaktadır.
The Impact of Brand Value on Business Performance: An Analysis of Moderating Effects of Product Involvement
Authors: Tripopsakul Suchart , Puriwat Wilert , Hoonsopon Danupol , Na Songkhla Ratirath
Published: March 2024

The purposes of this study are to investigate the impact of brand value on business performance and to examine whether the impact of brand value on business performance differs between high and low product involvement. Based on the top 100 brands ranked by Interbrand in 2021, linear regression analysis and moderation analysis by SPSS and AMOS were used to examine our proposed hypotheses. The results showed that brand value had a significantly positive effect on business performance. The findings imply that stronger brand valuation impacts are associated with companies that do better financially. In other words, business revenue is significantly determined by a higher brand valuation. The result of the moderation effect reveals that product involvement moderates the effect of brand value on business performance in such a way that the association between brand value and business performance is stronger in low-involvement products than in high-involvement products. The findings validate the notion that a marketer's endeavors toward brand investments constitute a noteworthy origin of activity that adds value. Our study is one of the first to investigate, using empirical data on leading brands across several industries, the impact that brand value can have on business performance. It also broadens the scope of existing understanding regarding the moderating effect of product involvement in regulating a brand's effectiveness. Doi: 10.28991/HIJ-2024-05-01-06 Full Text: PDF
A Leitura como um acontecimento de sentido
Authors: Santos Andrade Ferreira Verena
Published: March 2024

Esse artigo traz uma reflexão acerca da leitura como experiência de sentido, aquilo que acontece ao sujeito, conforme entendimento do espanhol Larossa Bondía, professor da Faculdade de Barcelona e pós-doutor pelo Instituto de Educação de Londres, que pensa a leitura a partir de uma perspectiva distinta daquela em que historicamente foi forjada, sob as expectativas das classes hegemônicas, que determinam os efeitos desejados para essa atividade. Por sua vez, essas expectativas desconsideram a historicidade de muitos sujeitos, especialmente daqueles cujas leituras se afastam dos padrões estabelecidos. O objetivo desse artigo, construído a partir de uma revisão bibliográfica do tipo narrativa, é, à luz do conceito e dos princípios da experiência, resgatar a legitimidade de determinados “efeitos” da leitura, pois, ainda que tenha sido reconhecida a historicidade do leitor na construção do sentido do texto, este ainda é pensado através da razão instrumental e de padrões hegemônicos consolidados por diferentes agências.

Authors: Francisco Boucher Damião , Barbosa Soares Thiago
Published: March 2024

Analisamos neste artigo uma das várias redes de dizeres sobre o nordeste e o sujeito nordestino. Observamos como este é interpelado em sujeito inútil, parasitário e como seu espaço geográfico é discursivizado como sendo um lugar social e culturalmente inócuo. Verificamos seus possíveis efeitos e suas prováveis contribuições para a construção das formações imaginárias sobre o nordestino através do arcabouço teórico-metodológico da Análise do Discurso, sobretudo pelas noções de sucesso e de silêncio constitutivo. Utilizamos como corpus os dizeres de Raiam Santos, influenciador e proprietário do Canal no YouTube, “Raiam Santos”, proferidos em 11 de novembro de 2020, de um internauta anônimo apresentado pelo site Yahoo em 2018 e de Flávia Aparecida Moraes, enunciados em 5 de outubro de 2022, originalmente postados em um vídeo em seu Instagram e posteriormente difundidos por diversas plataformas do YouTube. Por fim, sopesamos nosso percurso analítico e constatamos que, pelo silenciamento constitutivo e pelo discurso do sucesso, tais dizeres projetam o Nordeste e o sujeito nordestino como o lugar da falta e como o sujeito parasitário respectivamente.

A dona de casa estava cansada: revolução e trabalho doméstico na poesia de Fernanda Laguna
Authors: Rocha Góis da Silva Eduarda
Published: March 2024

Este texto propõe analisar as relações entre escrita literária e políticas do desejo na obra da multiartista argentina Fernanda Laguna, cuja atuação abarca a literatura, as artes visuais, a gestão cultural e o ativismo feminista. A poesia de Laguna antecipou diversos temas da ordem do dia nas reivindicações atuais dos movimentos feministas, tais como: o trabalho doméstico, a caça às bruxas, as greves feministas, entre muitos outros. Movimentos como o Ni Una Menos, do qual a autora é ativista, dialogam com esses temas, enfrentando-os como questões centrais em suas pautas de reivindicação. Inclusive, um de seus slogans é, justamente, Nos mueve el deseo. De tal modo, é pertinente refletir sobre como a poesia pode chegar a ser um lugar de produção de novas subjetividades, capaz de recriar o mundo em que se quer viver, de acordo com uma ética feminista da vida. Para isso, serão analisados poemas em que a autora aborda questões como revolução e trabalho doméstico.
A REVIEW ON HAND BLOCK PRINTING IN INDIA
Authors: R Preetha
Published: March 2024

India is well known for its art and culture which makes the country unique. There are several forms of art which have been nurtured and groomed under skilled guidance and has been inherited through generations of family traditions. Hand Block Printing is one such an art, which can be used to make every design and every piece of fabric exclusive from the other. Hence block printing is considered to be the most interesting method of designing textiles. Printing is the process of applying colour to fabric or yarn in a definite and repeated pattern. Every design created using hand block printing is very exclusive and different from each other. However, this cannot be achieved by automated printing machines where several meters of fabric can be printed with the same design and colour in a short time.India’s block-printed fabric holds a place of pride in the world market. India is one of the major producers and exporters of block printed fabrics. It is amazing that each region of the country has developed variations in this traditional craft, to name a few, Dabu print of Rajasthan which uses the mud printing technique, Ajrakh print of Gujarat known for geometric motifs and Kalamkari of Andra Pradesh. The various styles of block printing are symbolic of the country’s rich heritage and culture. This article explains the process of block printing and the various styles of block printing methods practiced in India.

Background

Low- and middle-income countries, particularly in the African region in-country distribution and determinants of infertility are understudied. In this study, we aimed to estimate the prevalence, regional distribution, and determinants of infertility in Uganda to inform programming.

Methods

We estimated the prevalence of primary and secondary infertility among women aged 20-49 years using data from the three rounds of the Uganda Demographic and Health Survey 2006, 2011, and 2016, and compared the differences across geographic regions. We pooled data sets for all three years and conducted logistic regression to identify factors associated with infertility.

Results

We included 16,537 women aged 20-49 years for analysis of primary infertility and 12,628 for secondary infertility. The overall prevalence of infertility (pooled across the three surveys was 6.4%. The prevalence of primary infertility was 1.4% (95% Confidence interval, CI=1.0-1.8), 0.7% (95% CI=0.5-1.0) and 0.8% (95% CI=0.6-1.0) in 2006, 2011 and 2016, respectively. The prevalence of secondary infertility was 7.4% (95% CI=6.5-8.4), 6.9% (95% CI=5.9-8.0) and 7.1% (95% CI=6.4-7.9) in 2006, 2011, and 2016 respectively. The prevalence of primary infertility was similar across regions. Secondary infertility was highest in the Central (7.9%, 95% CI= 6.1-10.3, in 2016) and Northern regions (7.4%, 95% CI=6.1-8.9, in 2016). In all survey years, women with higher education had lower odds of secondary infertility compared to women with no education (adjusted odds ratio, aOR=0.54, 95% CI=0.35-0.83; P < 0.001).

Conclusions

Our results suggest that the prevalence of primary infertility is similar across regions, whereas secondary infertility varies by region, with higher prevalence in Central and Northern regions. More research is required to understand the drivers behind the variation of secondary infertility across regions to inform policy and decision making.
Electricity Tariff Design: A Survey
Authors: Malik Afia , Urooj Amena
Published: March 2024

In a perfectly competitive market, electricity is priced at the Marginal Cost (MC); MC pricing guarantees economic efficiency (Gunatilake, et al. 2008). In other words, efficient electricity tariffs consider all power supply costs. To a great degree, it also accounts for capital investments for future expansion and up-gradation (Kojima, et al. 2014). In a free market, market forces of demand and supply pushed for MC recovery. In contrast, for a regulated market, the regulator sets the tariff according to the costs and reasonable return determined through the regulatory process. The regulator followed pre-determined guidelines, parameters, and standards set by the government; it may or may not be MC pricing. When a regulated tariff is set at a low level, it distorts the development/ functioning of the market at both the wholesale and retail levels. “If regulated end-user prices are not in line with wholesale market conditions, suppliers without significant low-cost generation capacity or equivalent long-term contracts will not be able to make competitive offers that will allow them to recover their costs. Consequently, with a limited number of suppliers, there will be no development of the wholesale markets. Liquidity will remain at a low level. As a result, neither the wholesale nor retail markets will be competitive” (Cited from Suzzoni, 2009, p. 5).

Published: March 2024

Pharmacovigilance concerned with identifying the hazards associated with pharmaceutical products and with minimizing the risk of any harm that may come to patients and is defined as the science relating to the collection, detection, understanding, assessment, monitoring and prevention of adverse effects with pharmaceutical products. Adverse drug reaction (ADR) comes under the umbrella of Pharmacovigilance defined as the response to a drug which is noxious, unintended and which occurs at doses normally used in man for prophylaxis, diagnosis or therapy of disease or for the modification of a physiological function. This includes a case presentation reported for ADR; a 49 year old female patient visited the JSS Ayurveda Hospital, Mysuru on August 2023 and diagnosed to have Sandhivata. She was treated with medications internally and Kottamchukkadi churna for external application as lepa. On application of Kottamchukkadi churna, appearance of reddish rashes and itching over applied area of ankle joints of both legs was noticed. As such not any conclusive reports on Kottamchukkadi churna of previous ADRs have been reported. Currently there is utmost importance for ADR in clinical practice concerned to the public health is of prime importance; so there is a need to educate all the Medical Professionals and encourage them to analyse and report any adverse drug reaction or adverse effects that occur in a patient. This shall only be a step towards global acceptance of Ayurvedic drugs hence proper documentation and further evaluation is a need of the hour.

Assessing the role of carbon pricing in global climate change mitigation strategies
Authors: Wags Numoipiri Digitemie  , Ifeanyi Onyedika Ekemezie
Published: March 2024

Carbon pricing has emerged as a crucial policy tool in global efforts to mitigate climate change by internalizing the costs of carbon emissions and incentivizing emission reductions. This review provides an assessment of the role of carbon pricing in global climate change mitigation strategies. Carbon pricing mechanisms, including carbon taxes and emissions trading systems (ETS), have gained traction worldwide as governments seek effective ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. These mechanisms establish a price on carbon emissions, creating economic incentives for businesses and individuals to reduce their carbon footprint. The effectiveness of carbon pricing in mitigating climate change depends on various factors, including the stringency of pricing mechanisms, coverage of sectors and gases, and complementary policies and measures. Studies have shown that well-designed carbon pricing policies can lead to significant emission reductions while promoting innovation and investment in clean technologies. However, carbon pricing also faces challenges and limitations, including concerns about equity, competitiveness, and political acceptability. Distributional impacts on vulnerable populations and energy-intensive industries must be carefully addressed to ensure the fairness and effectiveness of carbon pricing policies. Furthermore, the success of carbon pricing depends on international cooperation and coordination, as emissions can easily shift across borders in response to pricing disparities. Global efforts to harmonize carbon pricing mechanisms and establish international carbon markets can enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of mitigation efforts. In conclusion, carbon pricing plays a crucial role in global climate change mitigation strategies by aligning economic incentives with environmental objectives. While it offers significant potential for reducing emissions and fostering the transition to a low-carbon economy, addressing challenges such as equity concerns and promoting international cooperation is essential for maximizing its effectiveness. By integrating carbon pricing into comprehensive climate policy frameworks, policymakers can accelerate progress towards a sustainable and resilient future.
FRDBMS for imprecise queries based on GEFRED model
Authors: Subita Kumari
Published: March 2024

When users work with usual software tools they have to change their many valued logical thinking (approximate reasoning) into the two-valued computer logic. Although the Structured Query Language (SQL) is a very powerful tool, it is unable to satisfy needs for data selection based on linguistic expressions and degrees of truth. In this paper, we are interested in flexible querying that is based on fuzzy set theory. Medina et al. have developed a server named fuzzy SQL, supporting flexible queries and based on a theoretic model called GEFRED. To model the flexible queries and the concept of fuzzy attributes, an extension of the SQL language named fuzzy SQL has been defined. The FRDB is supposed to have already been defined by the user. In this paper, the work of medina et al. has been extended to implement a new architecture of fuzzy DBMS based on the GEFRED model. This architecture is based on the concept of weak coupling with the DBMS SQL Server.
Leveraging machine learning and NLP for enhanced cohorting and RxNorm mapping in Electronic Health Records (EHRs)
Authors: Ashok Manoharan
Published: March 2024

This work addresses the combination of machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP) approaches to optimize the process of courting and RxNorm mapping inside Electronic Health Records (EHRs). Cohorting patients based on comparable traits or diseases is vital for clinical research, but it generally depends on time-consuming manual techniques and is prone to mistakes. Similarly, mapping pharmaceutical names to standardized codes such as RxNorm promotes interoperability and data analysis but may be challenging owing to variances in how drugs are reported. Leveraging ML and NLP may automate and optimize these procedures, leading to more efficient cohort identification and precise medication mapping. We offer a thorough technique for integrating ML and NLP algorithms in EHR systems, including data preparation, feature engineering, model training, and assessment. Through testing and analysis, we show the usefulness of our technique in enhancing cohorting accuracy and RxNorm mapping precision. The findings underline the promise of ML and NLP in revolutionizing EHR data management, leading to improved patient care and simplified research procedures.

Authors: Acar Mehmet , Erez Mehmet Emre , Eroğlu Hüseyin
Published: March 2024

Türkiye has a rich floristic diversity and is accepted as the gene center of the Hyacinthella genus. Nineteen species of the Hyacinthella genus have been described in the World, and eleven of these species are distributed in Türkiye. Additionally, ten of the eleven Hyacinthella species are endemic to our country. Therefore, any study on these species will contribute to the protection, promotion and sustainability of our country's genetic resources. Plants may have different metabolite contents depending on their genetic structure and environmental conditions. Sugar content in bulbous plants depends on sucrose metabolism and varies with species and environmental effects. In this study, the sugar contents of 11 different Hyacinthella species distributed in our country were analyzed. The presence of 9 different sugar types in the species was analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. In addition, depending on the sugar content, identification and grouping techniques were used with the Cluster Analysis Method. As a result of sugar analysis, while glucose, sucrose and fructose are found in all species, differences were detected between species in other sugar contents In cluster analysis, Hyacinthella species were divided into 3 different groups in terms of sugar content. The study both identifies the sugar contents found in the bulbs of Hyacinthella species and suggests a different identification method By combining morphological, molecular and metabolic data, a complete and accurate identification of species will be achieved.
Comparison between a Tail Clamp and Electrical Stimulation for Sevoflurane Minimum Anesthetic Concentration Determination in Green Iguanas (Iguana iguana)
Authors: Ghussn Laura R , Justo André A , Sanches Mariana C , Cortopassi Silvia RG , Carregaro Adriano B
Published: March 2024

This study aimed to compare the minimum anesthetic concentration (MAC) of sevoflurane in green iguanas using electrical stimulation and tail clamping as noxious stimuli. Seven adult green iguanas (Iguana iguana) weighing 580 to 1,300 g were enrolled. Each iguana was anesthetized twice after a 1-week washout period, with MAC being determined using a tail clamp (MACt) or electrical stimulation (MACe) techniques. After sevoflurane mask induction and endotracheal intubation, the fraction of expired sevoflurane (Fe’Sevo) was maintained at 3.1% for 15 min before noxious stimulation. In a bracketing design, the subsequent Fe’Sevo values were increased or decreased by 10% after positive or negative responses, respectively. Each targeted Fe’Sevo was kept constant for 15 min before stimulation. In MACt, the noxious stimulus involved closing a Kelly hemostatic curved forceps to the first ratchet at the base of the tail. At the same site, in MACe, 2 30 × 0.8–mm hypodermic needles inserted 1 cm apart were connected to an electrical stimulator set to deliver 30 mA at 50 Hz at a 6.5-ms interval. The hemostat and the needles were repositioned 2 cm distally and on alternate tail sides at each stimulation round. Individual MAC was obtained when 2 consecutive crossover events occurred (a positive response preceding a negative response or vice versa), with the MAC of each group represented by the average of the individual MAC values. Median (interquartile range) values for the sevoflurane MAC did not differ significantly between groups (2.2 [2.2 to 2.8%] in MACe and 2.2 [1.8 to 3.5%] in MACt; P = 0.812). Time to anesthesia induction, time to MAC measurement, heart rate (HR), end-tidal carbon dioxide (ET’CO2), and cloacal temperature were not different between groups. Both the tail-clamping and the electrical stimulation techniques yielded resembling sevoflurane MAC values in green iguanas, which makes the tail clamp a reliable alternative to electrical stimulation-based MAC research in this species.
Trajectory Tracking Control Using Evolutionary Approaches for Autonomous Driving
Authors: Kuyu Yiğit Çağatay
Published: March 2024

Capitalizing on the strides in artificial intelligence and the escalating demand for safer and more efficient traffic systems, the investigation unveils a trio of evolutionary algorithms - namely Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO), Multi-Verse Optimizer (MVO) and Salp Swarm Algorithm (SSA) - in the context of hyperparameter calibration for the Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller. The PID controller, revered for its classical design and wide industrial adoption, forms the cornerstone of feedback control systems. To exemplify the utility of the proposed algorithms, two distinct trajectory scenarios are employed as target trajectories. Rigorous numerical evaluations, accompanied by graphical analyses, showcase the prowess of these algorithms in steering the trajectory tracking process. The study unfolds novel contributions, rendering an unprecedented application of these optimizers in the PID controller realm while offering a comprehensive scrutiny of their performances.
The Great Oxidation Event (GOE): Biogeochemical Feedback and Tipping Points
Authors: Ingersoll Andrew
Published: March 2024

Approximately 1.4 Ga after life first appeared, atmospheric O2 suddenly jumped by more than an order of magnitude over a 20-50 Ma period. The contrast between these two timescales does not seem to be due to any sudden, large-amplitude change in external forcing. However, it could be due to processes intrinsic to the geobiological system itself, namely, positive feedback between atmospheric O2 and photosynthetic bacteria: More O2 leads to more photosynthesis, which leads to more O2, and so on. The key to this feedback is the 15-fold greater efficiency of aerobic vs anaerobic respiration and the tight coupling of respiration and photosynthesis inside the cell. As in the climate system, feedback leads to tipping points, where a rapid, large-amplitude change in the state of the system occurs. Examples include transitions to a snowball Earth and/or a runaway greenhouse. For the geobiological system, the GOE is the tipping point, and the long, slow buildup before the GOE is the gradual oxidation of Earth’s surface and ocean, either due to burial of organic matter, oxidation of volcanic gases, and/or escape of hydrogen to space. The feedback hypothesis is offered as a framework for interpreting observations leading up to and during the GOE.

Published: March 2024

Cryptography is the practice and study of hiding information from all but those with the means or key to decode the message. Also the area of cryptography employs many different means of transforming normal data in to unreadable form. This paper’s aim of the study was how to keep the digital data secretly and sent it secretly through insecure channels based on basis vectors, that an activity builds around one of the techniques that illustrate an application of a set of basis vectors called matrix to cryptography The method involves two matrices of which one is used to encode the encoding matrix and the other one to decode the decoding matrix. The characters, in the original message or stream are assigned numerical values and the matrix must be row reduce echelon form for use in decoding. The proposed method is very simple in its principle and has great potential to be applied to other situations where the exchange of message is done confidentially.
Energy-protein supplementation and grazing dynamics of growing beef cattle grazing stockpiled native grasslands in winter: Doctoral thesis abstract
Authors: Cazzuli Alba Fiorella
Published: March 2024

The weight loss of growing beef cattle grazing native grasslands in winter may be reverted by supplementing with energy and protein. To render this practice profitable, its efficiency -SFE- difference in average daily gain- ADG - between supplemented - S - and control - C animals- ADGchng - supplement response - per kg of dry matter -DM intake- must be controlled. Twenty-five trials carried out in Uruguay between 1993 and 2018 were gathered. The average SFE was 0.21 ± 0.076 kg/ADGchng/kg DM, from an average ADGchng of 0.38 ± 0.180 kg/animal/day. No association was found between SFE and supplementation rate nor type (p < 0.05), but forage allowance negatively affected it while herbage mass positively affected it, yet in a smaller magnitude. Weather conditions during trials affected SFE (p < 0.05), with greater SFE in winters with lower temperatures and more frosts. Another collated analysis using only 15 of the original 25 trials was performed to estimate supplement substitution rates (sSbR) and to assess the existence of different phases and ADGchng evolution patterns. sSbR were 0.3-1.1 kg/kg and were negatively associated with SFE. Three responses were identified (linear, quadratic and Weibull). Quadratic patterns were closely associated with sward biomass and substitution rates, while Weibull were associated with frosts. Finally, a grazing-down experiment was performed comparing S and C animals in their grazing dynamics. No differences were found between the horizontal dynamics, and when the upper grazing horizon was depleted by > 80 %, the subsequent horizon was being depleted by 50 %. Supplementation is a highly reliable technology for improving the performance of growing beef cattle.

The current paper has provided data on the study of the vascular system of flag leaves of rice plants grown in a greenhouse in the period 2022–2023. The objects of the study were 24 rice samples developed at the FSBSI “ARC “Donskoy” using the method of androgenesis and cell culture. The purpose of the work was to determine the degree of development of the vascular system of flag leaves of regenerated rice plants with different ploidy levels (1n, 2n, 4n). When studying the vascular system of plant leaves (the number and area of bundles), it was found that haploid plants had smaller vascular bundles compared to diand tetraploid samples. The average beam diameter had dimensions of 59.5, 69.3 and 75.3 µm, the area of one beam was 2815.6, 3827.2 and 4540.5 µm², respectively. In the leaves of rice samples, a larger number of small and large vascular bundles have been formed with increasing ploidy level. Their number was 36–44 in haploids, 40–52in diploids, 52–60 in tetraploids. The average number of bundles was 40.3, 46.6 and 55.2, respectively. The venation pattern was individual for each sample. Between single large bundles there are from one to seven small veins, most often 4–6 pieces. Thus, samples with different ploidy levels differ in the anatomical structure of the leaves, which ultimately affects their morphology and productivity.

The analysis of the relationship between respiratory functions and body compositions of alpine discipline and cross-country skiing athletes
Authors: Sevindik Aktaş Buket
Published: March 2024

The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between respiratory functions and body compositions of elite athletes in alpine disciplines and cross-country skiing through their comparison. The study included 32 male athletes (age: 18.3±2 year, height: 172.1±6.05 cm, body weight: 65.73±10.79 kg, and body mass index (BMI): 22.91±2.80 kg/m2) within the scope of alpine disciplines and cross-country skiing. The heights of the athletes were measured with a stadiometer (Holtain, UK) with an accuracy of ±1mm. The weights of the athletes and BMI values were measured using a Tanita brand (BC, 418 Tanita, Japan) body composition analyzer with a precision of 100 grams. The respiratory function and respiratory muscle strength of the athletes were evaluated using a digital spirometer (Pony FX Cosmed, Italy). Pearson's correlation analysis was used to determine the relationships between respiratory functions and anthropometric structures of the groups. The results indicated that cross-country skiing athletes had higher averages in FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC, PEF, MIP, MVV, and MEP parameters compared to alpine discipline athletes, with only the MIP value being higher in alpine discipline athletes. The results revealed positive correlations between age and FVC (0.563), FEV1 (0.521), PEF (0.679), and MVV (0.511) in cross-country skiing athletes. Negative correlations were found between body weight and FEV1/FVC (r=0.578), FEV1/FVC (r=0.545), height and MVV (r=0.541), and body mass index and FEV1/FVC (r=0.541), FEV1/FVC (r=0.676) in cross-country skiing and alpine discipline athletes, respectively (p0.05). In order to achieve maximum performance, it is very important to identify and keep under control the factors affecting respiratory functions. The current study demonstrated that the characteristics of the sport have an impact on physiological changes in the respiratory system and also affect body compositions and respiratory functions.

The impact of the practice of physical activities on burnout and its dimensions remains very little documented among students living in subaerial African countries. The present study was to determine the impact of the level of physical activities on Burnout. In a cross-sectional analytical study, students from the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Kinshasa were recruited by convenience in the period from February 1 to August 1, 2023. The parameters of interest included intensity, frequency, duration of the practice of physical activities and the dimensions of Burnout. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to research the influence between the intensity, frequency and duration of physical activity practice on emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, lack of personal accomplishment and burnout syndrome. The moderate and high level of physical activity practice significantly reduces emotional exhaustion by -14 (30.08 ± 13.04 vs 16.10 ± 10.38; p < 0.001), depersonalization by -7 (12. 45 ± 6.42 vs 5.89 ± 5.99; p < 0.001), burnout of -17 (28.17 ± 10.05 vs 11.00 ± 8.47; p < 0.001) and increases the personal accomplishment of students of the faculty of medicine of +31 (42.00 ± 10.7 vs 11.00 ± 8.47; p < 0.002). The duration of the practice of physical activities of 30 minutes or more positively influences personalization in 28% (p < 0.001), 75% personal accomplishment (p < 0.003) and 63% burnout (p < 0.004). Furthermore, the frequency of 3 or more times per week of practicing physical activities positively improves emotional exhaustion by 56% (p < 0.001), professional accomplishment by 79% (p < 0.002) and 83% by burnout (p < 0.001). Young medical school students with burnout are inactive and sedentary. The latter are associated with a decrease in personal accomplishment and an increase in burnout syndrome. The duration of physical activities of 30 to 45 minutes per day practiced three or more times per week positively improves emotional exhaustion, personalization, and personal accomplishment and burnout syndrome. The dissemination of information programs, particularly to medical students, seems urgent.
