Vers Les Nombrils universels : transformations et marqueurs d’une série québécoise en Europe francophone
Authors: Rannou Maël , Sirat Noémie
Published: September 2023

Cet article se penche sur l’origine et la réception des Nombrils, série créée par les Québécois Marc Delaf et Maryse Dubuc dans le magazine pour adolescents Safarir en 2004, avant de s’exporter l’année suivante dans Spirou, magazine belge largement diffusé en France. En vue de cette exportation, des choix conscients sont effectués pour rejoindre un public à la fois nouveau et plus jeune : la série perd ses éléments québécois (notamment le vocabulaire) et adoucit sa virulence. Au moyen d’une analyse détaillée des huit albums parus, mais aussi des entretiens avec les dessinateurs adjoints, et d’un examen des échanges des auteurs avec leurs fans, notamment via la page Facebook qu’ils administrent, cet article vise à mettre en lumière la stratégie d’effacement de la québécité pour l’adaptation de la série à un public européen francophone. Au fil de la parution, alors que Les Nombrils obtiennent un grand succès public, les signes québécois réapparaissent sporadiquement dans les décors ou les références culturelles, mais demeurent discrets sur la question de la langue. Désormais plus visiblement américaine, la série n’en est pas pour autant perçue comme québécoise.
Reliability of Ultrasound Measurement of Plantar Fascia Thickness: A Systematic Review
Authors: Park Young Hwan , Kim Hak Jun , Kim Woon , Choi Jung Woo
Published: September 2023

Background: Because ultrasound measurement of plantar fascia thickness is widely used in the diagnosis and evaluation of plantar fasciitis, it is important to understand and minimize the errors that occur with this measurement. The aim of this systematic review was to identify and synthesize studies reporting on intrarater and interrater reliability of ultrasound measurement of plantar fascia thickness.

Methods: After comprehensive searches in the MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases, 11 studies involving 238 healthy participants and 68 patients with pathologic foot disorders were included.

Results: Seven of 11 studies revealed a low risk of bias. Most of the studies reported good to excellent intrarater and interrater reliability for ultrasound measurement of plantar fascia thickness (intrarater intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC], 0.77–0.98; interrater ICC, 0.76–0.98). In addition, two studies on intrarater reliability and one study on interrater reliability showed moderate reliability (ICCs, 0.65, 0.67, and 0.59, respectively). Overall, the standard error of measurement was less than 5% and did not exceed 7%.

Conclusions: The findings of this review suggest that ultrasound measurement of plantar fascia thickness is reliable in terms of both relative and absolute reliability. Reliability can be optimized by using the average of multiple measurements and an experienced operator.

The cardiac IKs ion channel comprises KCNQ1, calmodulin, and KCNE1 in a dodecameric complex which provides a repolarizing current reserve at higher heart rates and protects from arrhythmia syndromes that cause fainting and sudden death. Pharmacological activators of IKs are therefore of interest both scientifically and therapeutically for treatment of IKs loss-of-function disorders. One group of chemical activators are only active in the presence of the accessory KCNE1 subunit and here we investigate this phenomenon using molecular modeling techniques and mutagenesis scanning in mammalian cells. A generalized activator binding pocket is formed extracellularly by KCNE1, the domain-swapped S1 helices of one KCNQ1 subunit and the pore/turret region made up of two other KCNQ1 subunits. A few residues, including K41, A44 and Y46 in KCNE1, W323 in the KCNQ1 pore, and Y148 in the KCNQ1 S1 domain, appear critical for the binding of structurally diverse molecules, but in addition, molecular modeling studies suggest that induced fit by structurally different molecules underlies the generalized nature of the binding pocket. Activation of IKs is enhanced by stabilization of the KCNQ1-S1/KCNE1/pore complex, which ultimately slows deactivation of the current, and promotes outward current summation at higher pulse rates. Our results provide a mechanistic explanation of enhanced IKs currents by these activator compounds and provide a map for future design of more potent therapeutically useful molecules.

Two risk variants in the apolipoprotein L1 gene (
APOL1
) have been associated with increased susceptibility to sepsis in Black patients. However, it remains unclear whether
APOL1
high-risk genotypes are associated with occurrence of either sepsis or sepsis-related phenotypes in patients hospitalized with infections, independent of their association with pre-existing severe renal disease.To examine the association between
APOL1
high-risk genotypes and the risk of sepsis and sepsis-related phenotypes in patients hospitalized with infections.A retrospective cohort study of 2,242 Black patients hospitalized with infections.Carriage of
APOL1
high-risk genotypes.The primary outcome was sepsis; secondary outcomes were short-term mortality and organ failure related to sepsis.Of 2,242 Black patients hospitalized with infections, 565 developed sepsis. Patients with high-risk
APOL1
genotypes had a significantly increased risk of sepsis (odds ratio [OR]=1.29 [95% CI, 1.00–1.67; p=0.047]); however, this association was not significant after adjustment for pre-existing severe renal disease (OR=1.14 [95% CI, 0.88-1.48; p=0.33]), nor after exclusion of those patients with pre-existing severe renal disease (OR=0.99 [95% CI, 0.70-1.39; p=0.95].
APOL1
high-risk genotypes were significantly associated with the renal dysfunction component of the Sepsis-3 criteria (OR=1.64 [95% CI, 1.21–2.22; p=0.001], but not with other sepsis-related organ dysfunction or short-term mortality. The association between high-risk
APOL1
genotypes and sepsis-related renal dysfunction was markedly attenuated by adjusting for pre-existing severe renal disease (OR=1.36 [95% CI, 1.00–1.86; p=0.05]) and was nullified after exclusion of patients with pre-existing severe renal disease (OR=1.16 [95% CI, 0.74–1.81; p=0.52]).
APOL1
high-risk genotypes were associated with an increased risk of sepsis; however, this increased risk was attributable predominantly to pre-existing severe renal disease.
Homeostatic Synaptic Plasticity of Miniature Excitatory Postsynaptic Currents in Mouse Cortical Cultures Requires Neuronal Rab3A
Authors: Koesters Andrew G. , Rich Mark M. , Engisch Kathrin L.
Published: September 2023

Following prolonged activity blockade, amplitudes of miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents (mEPSCs) increase, a form of homeostatic plasticity termed “synaptic scaling.” We previously showed that a presynaptic protein, the small GTPase Rab3A, is required for full expression of the increase in miniature endplate current amplitudes following prolonged blockade of action potential activity at the mouse neuromuscular junction in vivo (Wang et al., 2011), but it is unknown whether this form of Rab3A-dependent homeostatic plasticity shares any characteristics with central synapses. We show here that synaptic scaling of mEPSCs is impaired in mouse cortical neuron cultures prepared from Rab3A
-/-
and Rab3A Earlybird mutant mice. To determine if Rab3A is involved in the well-established homeostatic increase in postsynaptic AMPA-type receptors (AMPARs), we performed a series of experiments in which electrophysiological recordings of mEPSCs and confocal imaging of synaptic AMPAR immunofluorescence were assessed within the same cultures. We found that Rab3A is required for the increase in synaptic AMPARs following prolonged activity blockade, but the comparison of mEPSC amplitude and synaptic AMPARs in the same cultures revealed that mEPSC amplitude cannot solely be determined by postsynaptic AMPAR levels. Finally, we demonstrate that Rab3A is acting in neurons because selective loss of Rab3A in astrocytes did not disrupt homeostatic plasticity, whereas selective loss in neurons strongly reduced the homeostatic increase in mEPSC amplitudes. Taken together with the results at the neuromuscular junction, we propose that Rab3A is a presynaptic homeostatic regulator that controls quantal size on both sides of the synapse.
FFENet: frequency-spatial feature enhancement network for clothing classification
Authors: Yu Feng , Li Huiyin , Shi Yankang , Tang Guangyu , Chen Zhaoxiang , Jiang Minghua
Published: September 2023

Clothing analysis has garnered significant attention, and within this field, clothing classification plays a vital role as one of the fundamental technologies. Due to the inherent complexity of clothing scenes in real-world environments, the learning of clothing features in such complex scenes often encounters interference. Because clothing classification relies on the contour and texture information of clothing, clothing classification in real scenes may lead to poor classification results. Therefore, this paper proposes a clothing classification network based on frequency-spatial domain conversion. The proposed network combines frequency domain information with spatial information and does not compress channels. It aims to enhance the extraction of clothing features and improve the accuracy of clothing classification. In our work, (1) we combine the frequency domain information and spatial information to establish a clothing feature extraction clothing classification network without compressed feature map channels, (2) we use the frequency domain feature enhancement module to realize the preliminary extraction of clothing features, and (3) we introduce a clothing dataset in complex scenes (Clothing-8). Our network achieves a top-1 model accuracy of 93.4% on the Clothing-8 dataset and 94.62% on the Fashion-MNIST dataset. Additionally, it also achieves the best results in terms of top-3 and top-5 metrics on the DeepFashion dataset.

This paper presents an experimental effort to elucidate the stabilization mechanism of alluvial soils with lime and check their durability against freeze and thaw (FT) cycles. The effect of stabilization-related parameters such as lime content and curing period were investigated. The lime content was changed as 0, 3, 6, 12 %, while curing periods were 7, 28, and 56 days. The mixtures were kept in a closed system cabinet at -24 and +24 Celsius degrees for 24 hours to expose the samples 0,1 and 2 FT cycles. To analyze and compare the effect of FT cycles, Unconsolidated-Undrained (UU) triaxial tests were performed under different cell pressures. In addition, SEM and EDAX analyses were conducted to evaluate the mechanism at the microstructural and compositional levels. It was determined that the highest strength could be obtained in the samples in which 6% lime content was kept in 28 days of cure. After this curing period, it has been determined that minerals that affect the mechanism between lime and soil adversely were formed. The fact that the development of chemical reactions stopped or did not progress in the 56-day curing period has confirmed the production of such minerals. However, these samples, whose strength did not increase as expected, were not affected much by FT cycles. It means, no significant difference was obtained from cycles 1 to 2, since a major part of the sample’s integrity was affected from the first cycle. The deterioration of the soil integration and growth of needle-like harmful minerals in the long term were also verified with the SEM images and EDAX analyses.

Proper cost forecasting is a major parameter in the success of construction projects, and has a significant impact on various phases of a project, including its budget approval phase. Project managers usually look for solutions to reduce costs. It needs to identify the cost-rising factors, and to exclude them from projects. This study principally aimed at forecasting cost increase of high-rise building construction, using a neuro fuzzy inference model. In fact, the model is able to quantify cost overrun, resulted from each influencing factor, based on fuzzy logic. Through a vast literature review, 43 cost-influencing factors were identified, which then were reduced to 13, using the principal component analysis method, and experts’ opinions. The construction cost was then predicted by the inference model created, based on each factor. The results showed that the factor of “lack of commitment of the Ministry of Housing” had the greatest impact, while the factor of “not considering measures to resolve potential disputes” had the least impact on the estimation of cost overrun in high-rise buildings.
Analytical investigation of the measures to be taken against weak storey irregularities
Authors:   Civil Engineering Department, Istanbul Arel University, Istanbul (Türkiye), Cansiz Sinan
Published: September 2023

Due to the earthquakes that have occurred in recent years, heavy damage has occurred in many structures in the world. When the damages occurred after the earthquakes have been examined, it has been observed that the damage occurred frequently in certain structures. These structures are generally structures with different shear capacity due to different story heights. This type of damage is defined as weak-soft storey irregularity in earthquake codes. For this reason, the use of reinforced concrete walls is recommended in the earthquake codes that have been updated in recent years. In addition, it is recommended by many researchers to strengthen the structures with various cross-frames on the storey where weak storey occur in such structures. For this purpose, a pushover analysis of structures with various storey heights and storey numbers supported by various cross-frames has been carried out. For this purpose, seismic analysis of 60 reinforced concrete structures has been made with the Seismo-Build program. In this study, the effectiveness of cross frames used in buildings with reinforced concrete wall and weak storey irregularities has been investigated.

The present paper aims to explore the performance of composite shear walls reinforced with Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) sheets, subjected to blast loads. The finite-element method (FEM) implemented in the ABAQUS software is used to evaluate several numerical models to meet this objective. The parametric behavior of the system under the effect of blast load intensity was investigated, along with the FRP sheet material, concrete compressive strength, and also the geometric characteristics of wall components such as its thickness, spacing of FRP sheets, and thickness of the cross-sectional shape of the steel plates under the effect of blast load. It was found that the reinforcement of the composite shear wall by incorporating FRP sheets not only increases the stress absorption in the wall but also increases the load transfer capacity and leads to high energy dissipation using the polymer fibers. It has been found that carbon polymer sheets (CFRP) and glass polymer sheets (GFRP) have, respectively, the best and the weakest performance in shear wall stress absorption compared to AFRP sheets, and this is due to the tensile strength and low density of CFRP sheets. As the thickness of FRP sheets increases, the stress, strain and displacement created in the composite shear wall decrease, owing to the increase of the final strength, which is, in turn, the result of the increase in fiber thickness.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is widespread in many countries; however, its implementation still encounters some barriers in Brazil. In addition, during the BIM implementation process, some companies give up because they do not achieve the expected result. In the Metropolitan Region of Recife, adherence to the BIM methodology is less than 5% of the research universe, which is 445 among companies and professionals. This study evaluates the fulfillment of the necessary requirements for BIM implementation at Brazilian architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) companies. The methodology was carried out using case studies and its strategy was based on the following steps: identification of the state-of-the-art and of requirements for BIM implementation, which allowed the determination of the criteria for evaluating the companies studied; the criteria determined were use to elaborate an online form for identification of AEC companies in Recife (Brazil) and a questionnaire for conducting interviews with the selected companies; subsequently, case studies were developed, and data analysis. The case studies were carried out at five AEC companies which had a median fulfilment of requirements of 65%. Many of the companies presented BIM 1.0 characteristics. It has been verified that the BIM implementation is more effective at companies where a greater number of BIM requirements are applied. The companies with the fewest requirements applied, or those that did not meet the requirements in practice, did not present significant advances in BIM implementation. The main research contributions were the compilation of the requirements for BIM implementation. Therefore, this study produces knowledge that can assist companies in the AEC industry experiencing similar difficulties in BIM implementation as those described in this paper.
Statistical investigation of the effects of different origin aggre-gate properties on the mechanical properties of concrete
Authors:   Department of Mining Engineering, Niğde Ömer Halisdemir University, TR (Türkiye), Teymen Ahmet
Published: September 2023

Aggregates are one of the most important components of the concrete mix and the aggregate properties have a great influence on the properties of the hardened concrete. From this point of view, the contribution of the nature of the aggregate to the general mechanical behavior of concrete should be better understood and investigated. The main purpose of this study is to present practical and useful equations for the rapid evaluation of the basic properties of concrete, especially during the preliminary design phase. A series of laboratory studies were conducted to determine the effects of twenty aggregates with very different origins and properties on various properties of concretes. Laboratory tests with the same or similar principles as aggregate rocks have been repeated for concrete samples produced using these aggregates. Nine SRA equations were generated to directly predict similar concrete properties with the help of aggregate properties. Equations with very high coefficients of determination were produced between various aggregate properties and concrete properties except for the SHH property. In addition, nonlinear multiple regression analysis (NMRA) was used for twenty-four equations to predict some basic properties of concrete (strength, abrasion, tensile, and impact). The performances of the derived equations were evaluated with a statistical tool developed by the author. Accordingly, the models with the strongest prediction capacity were obtained for STSC, LAC, CSC, and, IEC respectively. Results from NMRA showed that equations with the highest coefficient of determination were obtained with Model-3 for CSC (Equation 15), and STSC (Equation 18), and Model-1 for LAC (Equation 22), and IEC (Equation 31). Concrete has a complex structure that is affected by many parameters. In accordance with this complex nature, the approach to predict the main concrete properties with nonlinear multiple methods by including similar aggregate properties as well as non-destructive methods representing concrete/aggregate (hardness, ultrasonic pulse velocity and physical properties) has been successful. The extremely high coefficients of determination, ranging from 0.81 to 0.96, obtained with NMRA, indicate that basic concrete properties can be strongly predicted by aggregate properties and some concrete properties that can be tested non-destructively.
Migración, derechos humanos y trata de personas: algunas propuestas jurídicas y de política pública desde el Trabajo Social en España

Published: September 2023

En este trabajo presentamos distintas propuestas relacionadas con migración, derechos humanos y trata de personas en España desde la disciplina del trabajo social. Este artículo ha conseguido la información necesaria para su desarrollo en base a una revisión bibliográfica y análisis documental que puede consultarse en la bibliografía anexa. Los resultados muestran que para que el sistema de gobernanza mundial de la migración favorezca a los Estados y las sociedades, es importante que las personas migrantes intervengan plenamente en la elaboración y mejora de los marcos jurisdiccionales, de su praxis y de todos los procesos en relación a éstos. También se señala que, en España, en los últimos años se han llevado a cabo medidas para prevenir y combatir la trata de seres humanos. Si bien se reconoce la necesidad de mantener la lucha contra esta lacra social, es importante hacer mayores esfuerzos para afrontar la trata con cualquier fin de explotación, incluida la laboral y sexual. En definitiva, para el Trabajo Social es importante el desarrollo de acciones para la consecución de los derechos humanos. Tiene que ver con acciones transformadoras que provoquen procesos culturales no revictimizantes para las personas y que tiendan a superar los discursos más simplistas.
Un área verde para la comunidad: Significados atribuidos a la Quebrada de Cabritería, comuna de Valparaíso, Chile
Authors: Osorio Oyarzún Génesis , Morales Aguayo José Daniel
Published: September 2023

Las áreas verdes han tomado relevancia al momento de considerar el bienestar de una población, especialmente dentro de las urbes. En este sentido, Valparaíso es una ciudad con escasez de áreas verdes de Chile, y una de ellas está en disputa. La Quebrada Cabritería actualmente es parte de un conflicto donde el territorio es semantizado de diversas maneras, por lo que resulta pertinente considerar la construcción simbólica del proceso de territorialización que se gesta, elemento fundamental en los procesos de planificación y gestión territorial. Es así como surge el interés por esta investigación cualitativa de carácter descriptivo, que recuperó los discursos de vecinos y vecinas de las comunidades cercanas, los cuales se analizaron desde la teoría fundamentada. A partir de ello, se identifican tres factores del proceso de territorialización: transformaciones del territorio, experiencias y memorias, y disputas de poder. A su vez se reconocen cuatro esferas con respecto a la comprensión de la quebrada, la cual es vista como: un pulmón verde, un lugar de paso, una zona de riesgo y un parque urbano. Desde aquí emergen diversas significaciones que dotan de sentido al territorio y a las prácticas que la comunidad mantiene en torno a él.
Correlación entre la productividad con los ingresos por trabajo en el Perú durante la década previa a la pandemia (2010-2019)
Authors: Kamichi Miyashiro Manuel José
Published: September 2023

La presente investigación trata sobre la masa monetaria destinada a los agentes involucrados en el proceso productivo (a toda la población económicamente activa). El objetivo principal es conocer si hay correlación estadísticamente significativa entre productividad con ingresos, por lo que se usó la estadística como metodología, aplicando la prueba de Pearson, y posteriormente su usó fórmula matemática para hallar el porcentaje de dinero de la productividad que se destina a las personas participantes en la producción en el Perú en la década previa a la pandemia (2010-2019), tanto a nivel agregado como también por rubros productivos. Lo que se encontró es que sí existe una correlación significativa entre productividad con ingreso por trabajo, pero que el dinero que se destina a las personas es una minoría (40,85% si es con el PBI y 44,61% si es con el VAB), por lo que la mayoría del dinero de la productividad se va en gastos que no incluyen a los ingresos por trabajo, por lo que si se quiere dar mayores oportunidades a que los trabajadores obtengan mayores ingresos es necesario primero reducir estos costos, principalmente en manufactura, en donde el ingreso representa el 29,23% de la productividad.
Logistic Plug-ins: centros comunitarios micro-logísticos para el Gran Santiago
Authors:   , Miranda Márquez M. Trinidad
Published: September 2023

Uno de los tantos sistemas que sustentan la ciudad actual, es el relacionado a la cadena de suministros, consumo y el “e-commerce” de productos. Los ciudadanos se han sometido a esta nueva cotidianidad, recibiendo productos comprados online en menos de 48 horas y en perfectas condiciones, convirtiendo el uso del delivery en algo omnipresente. Una de las principales arquitecturas que hace posible la agilización en la entrega de productos tanto en hogares como en cadenas de retail, son los denominados centros de distribución. Comúnmente localizados en la periferia de la ciudad, estos grandes galpones albergan los procesos logísticos para que los productos lleguen a tiempo y en buenas condiciones a sus destinos. Sin embargo, con el exponencial crecimiento de la ciudad, la pandemia y el deseo de acelerar la última milla, ha aparecido otra pieza en la cadena de distribución, pero de menor escala e inmersa en la ciudad. Se trata de sub-centros de distribución, conocidas como dark stores, llegando a manos del cliente en tiempos récord gracias a su estrategia de localización y política de solo delivery. En contraposición a estas cajas herméticas que niegan su vida urbana, existen hace ya varias décadas otros nodos que también llevan a cabo la etapa final de distribución del mundo logístico: las oficinas de correo postal y reparto de encomiendas, permitiendo el intercambio de información y productos con otras regiones del país y el mundo. A pesar de ello, estas oficinas, hoy, se han asemejado a las dark stores, perdiendo su antiguo carácter urbano, tanto como espacio de referencia como espacio público de encuentro e intercambio, siendo reemplazados progresivamente por “cajas negras” que niegan el espacio público y su potencial relación con la vida en la ciudad. Si bien los centros de distribución (CDD) destacan por su hermeticidad hacia el exterior, hay mucho que rescatar de su arquitectura y sistema constructivo. Pues su condición flexible, prefabricada y de planta libre, le permite infinitas variaciones que pueden ser aprovechadas para introducirse en la compleja trama urbana y sus diferentes tipos de densidad. Al mismo tiempo que esta puede no solo albergar programas logísticos, sino que también otros de índole comunitaria y barrial que permitan una relación fluida con la ciudad y sus habitantes. La creación de edificios comunitarios micro-logísticos que se encuentren en varios puntos dentro de la ciudad, a partir del sistema constructivo prefabricado de los CDD, son una alternativa a las oficinas de correo y encomienda que hoy no dialogan con su contexto urbano.

Published: September 2023

Türk toplumunda bilge, danışman, yol gösterici, akıllı, adaletli gibi çeşitli nitelik ve rolleri bünyesinde bulunduran kişiler önemli görülmüş ve farklı
adlarla anılmıştır. Bu adlandırmalardan birini teşkil eden aksakal, Türk toplumunda daha çok bilge, danışman ve yol gösterici nitelikleri ile öne çıkan kişileri belirten bir kavramdır. Aksakallar, bu vasıfları ile sosyal, kültürel, siyasi, dinî olmak üzere yaşamın pek çok alanında etkin kişilerdir. Şüphesiz söz konusu hususun günümüzde belirgin bir şekilde görüldüğü Türk boylarından biri Kırgızlardır. Bu minvalde çalışma, geçmişte ve günümüzde Kırgızlarda aksakal kavramının anlam alanları ile aksakalların toplum üzerindeki etkisini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Araştırmaya ait veriler çeşitli
kaynakların okunmasının ardından içerik analiz yöntemi ekseninde irdelenerek oluşturulmuştur. İncelemede, aksakalların Kırgız sosyal, siyasi, dinî ve
kültürel yaşantısında başat rol oynadığı ve bu rolün edebî ürünlere dahi yansıdığı belirlenmiştir. Türk dünyasının ortak mefhumlarından biri olarak
aksakallığın mezkûr coğrafyadaki entegrasyonu, birlik ve beraberliği ortaya koyan bir yapı olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Konuşma dilinde daha doğru ve etkili bir anlatımın gerçekleşmesi için vurgu ve tonlamalardan faydalanılırken yazı dilinde bu işlevi karşılamak üzere noktalama işaretleri kullanılmaktadır. Bu işaretlerin kullanımı dilin bütün gramer aşamalarıyla yakından ilgilidir. Hem fonetik hem morfolojik hem de sintaktik kurallara göre gerçekleştirilen uygulamalar da semantik yapının da etkili olduğu bilinmektedir. Özbek Türkçesinde “punktiatsiya” dışında “ishorat qoidalari” başlığı altında da incelenen noktalama işaretleri kullanım şekillerine göre sınırlandırıcı (chegaralovchi) ve ayırıcı (ajratuvchi); kullanım yerlerine göre ise cümlenin sonunda (gap oxirida), cümle içinde (gap ichida), karışık olarak (aralash holda) kullanım şeklinde sınıflandırılmıştır. Makalede noktalama işaretleri ile ilgili belirlenen temel kurallar çerçevesinde bu işaretlerin Özbek Türkçesindeki kullanımları üzerinde durulmuştur.

Özbek Türkçesinde 19. yüzyılın ikinci yarısından itibaren Latin alfabesine geçişle daha düzenli bir görünüm arz eden noktama işaretleri bir metnin daha doğru ve etkili bir şekilde okuyucuya aktarılmasında önemli bir işleve sahiptir. Dilbilimin “punktuatsiya/yazım bilimi” adlı alt dalının inceleme konusu olan noktalama işaretleri Özbek Türkçesi gramerlerinde “tiniq belgilari” terimiyle karşılanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, noktalama işaretlerinin Özbek Türkçesindeki kullanımlarıyla ilgili tarihsel süreç hakkında kısaca bilgi verilmiş, her bir noktalama işaretinin kullanım alanları izah edilmiş, açıklamalara uygun örnekler Türkiye Türkçesine aktarılmış ve aktarımlarda, noktalama işaretleri Türkiye Türkçesindeki kullanımlarına uygun bir şekilde dikkatlere sunulmuştur.

20. yüzyılın önde gelen düşünürlerinden biri olan Pierre Bourdieu, sosyal bilimler alanına yeni kavramlar kazandırmasının yanında mevcut kavramların kapsamını da genişletmiştir. Bourdieu, her kavram ve kuramın incelenen olgu ve olaya göre açıklayıcılığının değişebileceği varsayımından yola çıkarak kavramlar arasındaki ikiliklere eleştirel bir bakış açısı getirmiştir. Bourdieu’nun alan, habitus ve sermaye kavramları neden ve sonuç arasında iki yönlü, dönüşlü dairesel ilişkiler kurarak sosyal bilimlerde eylemin kendisini tetikleyen etmenleri anlamlandırmaya çalışır.

Bu çalışmada, Bourdeiu'nun sosyal bilimler alanındaki ikiliklere müdahaleye dayalı anlayışıyla geliştirdiği alan, habitus ve sermaye gibi kavramların edebî metinleri anlamlandırmada ve yorumlamada etkili olduğunu ortaya koymak amaçlanmaktadır. Çalışma, Bourdeiu'nun bu kavramlarıyla yapılacak yeni edebî incelemelere de kapı aralamaktadır.

Background: Street children are often deprived of the basic human rights in our society and hence they suffer from various forms of malnutrition and usually get addicted to different drugs.

Objective: The current study aimed to assess the nutritional status and drug abuse of the street children of Dhaka city.

Methodology: It was a descriptive cross-sectional study with randomly selected 100 street children (51 male and 49 female) aged three to fifteen years old from Dhaka city between the timeframe of January, 2016 to June, 2016. Data was collected by face-to-face interview with a pre-tested questionnaire involving their socio-economic data, nutritional status and information concerning drug abuse. Data analysis was conducted by IBM SPSS version 20.0, WHO Anthro and WHO Anthro Plus software. Various descriptive statistics like mean±SD, frequency, percentage along with binary logistic regression analysis was performed for the current study.

Results: The respondents’ mean age was 9±3 years. Majority of the street children (92%) knew about their mother’s identity whereas about 35% of them did not know about their father’s identity. Their monthly income ranged from one thousand BDT to three-thousand five hundred BDT. The study showed that about 47% of respondents were stunted, and nearly 58% were underweight. It was also found that about 82% of the respondents were drug abusers. However, about 45% were addicted to cigarette smoking and 24% were having marijuana in regular basis. Significant association was found between drug abuse and underweight status (AOR=1.27, p=.038) but no association was found between stunting rate and drug abuse of the respondents (AOR=1.03, p=.670).

Conclusion: Appropriate measures ought to be taken to enhance the nutritional status and reducing the rate of drug abuse among this segment of our population to secure a productive and healthy adult life for them in the future. Further large scale research is recommended to explore the determinants of the nutritional status and their drug abuse in Dhaka City.

The present investigation entitled, “Effect of integrated nutrient management on growth and yield of French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)” was carried out at the research farm of School of Agriculture, Abhilashi University, Mandi (H.P.) during spring season 2022. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with three replications. The treatments consisted of conjoint and sole application of organic (FYM and vermicompost) and inorganic fertilizers (urea, SSP and MOP). In terms of soil chemical properties i.e., soil pH (5.6) strongly acidic, organic carbon (0.99%) i.e. high and NPK (260:18:336) kg/ha were maximum observed in treatment T7 (75% RDF of NPK + 12.5% FYM + 12.5% Vermicompost. Out of seven treatments, treatment T7 was recorded best performing for all the traits i.e. days to 50% germination (14.06), leaf area index at 60 DAS (105.32 cm2) and at harvest (130.65 cm2), fresh weight of plant (189.20 g), dry weight of plant (20.03 g), yield per plot (17.45 kg), yield per hectare (290.84q/ha), biological yield (29.47q/ha) and harvest index (59.19%). The maximum gross return (581680 Rs/ha), net return (483209 Rs/ha) and B:C ratio (1:5.9) was also recorded in T7 75% RDF of NPK + 12.5% FYM + 12.5% Vermicompost. Thus, application of optimum doses of NPK along with organic manures was found highly beneficial for plant growth, yield and economics of French bean.

Technology of house construction method have been experiencing development from time to time. In general, there are two construction methods that can be applied to lightweight steel roof truss which are the conventional method and the prefabricated method. The assembly of the lightweight steel roof truss using the conventional method is assembled directly on site, but the prefabricated method was done off site and then carried to the house unit using heavy equipment. With heavy equipment, the prefabricated method is considered to be more cost friendly and time efficient. This research is intended to compare the working methods, costs and time of lightweight steel roof truss using conventional methods and prefabricated methods. The research method used is Qualitative Method where the conventional method's data were collected from site observation on Cluster Type A. The results show that the lightweight steel roof truss using prefabricated method has a faster working time by 67% or three times faster than using conventional method. Meanwhile, the cost of using conventional methods is cheaper by 25% on average than using prefabricated methods.

A sociedade organiza-se em meio a uma trama de componentes culturais, políticos, sociais que, historicamente, interpelam a população e articulam modos plurais de subjetivação. Nesta perspectiva, o presente trabalho situa o cinema brasileiro enquanto tecnologia que produz perspectivas hegemônicas e dissidentes de gênero. A partir da análise documental do filme “O homem que virou suco”, produzido no país em 1980, esta pesquisa qualitativa problematiza, mais especificamente, parte das noções de masculinidade que são articuladas de modo interseccional na obra. Conclui-se, provisoriamente, destacando a importância das produções cinematográficas brasileiras nos processos de denúncia e análise de condições estruturais que implicam em desigualdades e sofrimentos entre a população.
