Valence et compléments verbaux en akwá, bantu C22 de la République du Congo
Authors:   Université Marien Ngouabi, Congo, Gombé-Apondza Guy-Roger Cyriac
Published: September 2022

: Illustrated using a corpus of approximately two hundred sentences, the present study aims to describe, following the theoretical model of dependency syntax initiated by L. Tesnière, valence and verbal complements, that is that is, the links likely to exist between the verb (core) and its various actants (subject and object complements) in Akwá, a Bantu language used in the north of the Republic of Congo. From this study, it appears that unlike some languages including French, Akwá does not have absolutely avalent (impersonal) verbs and these are mostly monovalent. Keywords : valence, complements, actants, bantu, akwá
Construction mémorielle et dynamique postcoloniale dans Sanglots pour Loango de Florent Sogni Zaou
Authors:   Université Marien Ngouabi, Congo, LOEMBA Rosin Francis Emerson
Published: September 2022

The slave trade remains a worrying issue in today's societies, as much as it inspires a number of writers, such as Florent Sogni Zaou, who has made it the central motif of his collection of poems Sanglots pour Loango. In this article, we shall see how the latter proceeds to construct a historical memory on the basis of the colonial era. The invitation to this historical memory goes first through the denunciation of this human tragedy, then through the promotion of African cultural values and the repositioning of Africa in relation to this painful past. Keywords: Memory, Postcolonialism, Slave Trade, rehashing, history.

Published: September 2022

The main ecological challenges of agricultural production of Ukraine in conditions of European integration are considered. The relevance of the chosen topic is justified by the high agricultural potential of Ukraine, which has common values and common interests with the European economic space. This is confirmed by the benchmarking analysis of the security and efficiency of land use in Ukraine among the EU-28 countries. It is known that the life quality of the society depends on the health of the environment, and the intensification level of the agricultural production and processing sector. Studies have shown that Ukraine lags behind the EU countries both in terms of living standards and social development. Therefore, the issue of forming a program to protect the soil resources of Ukraine from degradation and their effective use, with respect to social needs and environmental risks, is an important problem for the European countries as a single ecological system. The authors identify areas for agricultural production intensification in Ukraine, taking into account the requirements for quality and safety of the products. The need for the legal framework harmonization to regulate agricultural production and ensure sustainable development of ecosystems on the principles of a green economy is substantiated.

Authors: Koshova Svitlana , Britchenko Igor , Bezpartochnyi Maksym
Published: September 2022

This paper studies the issue of financing the Space Industry at the State Level in the Postwar period as part of the country’s recovery plan, as one of the foremost critical zones of technological development and to ensure space security and defence. The European Space Agency (ESA) is, identified as the main player in the European space sector. It is determined that the current structure of ESA – Space 4.0 – provides for the success of European space activities in close coordination with the needs of European societies and economies. Despite all the prospects, offered by the Space Industry, a number of barriers can hinder full participation in the space economy. These ‘barriers’ include the requirement of large capital investments, technological risk and longer development times. Public-private partnerships have been, identified, as an effective way to overcome these barriers, so the government should play an important role in promoting innovation through the space sector. The war in Ukraine, which began on February 24, 2022, once again, reminds us of the unique value, and critical use of outer space for security and defence purposes. From intelligence gathering and monitoring to the availability of communications. It is determined that the war already has serious consequences for the European space sector. The Space Industry of Ukraine is a critical component of the national economy of Ukraine because it is the motor of numerous imaginative changes in other segments of the economy and contributes to the improvement of social, political, financial and natural circles of society. In Ukraine, there's an incessant disappointment in the State to fulfil its commitments to the ventures in the Space Industry. In the conditions of full-scale, ‘war’ the Space Industry is a key element of national security and defence of Ukraine. The financing of the Space Industry at the State level in the post-war period is crucial as part of the country’s recovery plan.

Published: September 2022

The aim of the study is to determine the extent to which the transport and logistics companies fulfilled sustainable development goals. The research sample includes 2021 top 10 transport and logistics companies. The research was conducted through in-depth study of sustainable development reports, content analysis, systematization and grouping of information on tools used to achieve sustainable development goals by transport and logistics companies. The dependence of the number of fulfilled sustainable development goals on the amount of revenue, net income and the number of employees was established through trend analysis of logarithmic dependence. The research results demonstrated that transport and logistics companies fulfil much more sustainable development goals than expected. Transport and logistics companies are actively fulfilling quality education, gender equality, and clean energy in addition to the emission reduction targets and mitigating the effects of climate change. The companies have developed policies to significantly expand the impact on fields other than provision of transport and logistics services. Companies are actively developing and implementing alternative energy sources, clean energy, and contribute to the fulfilment of good health and well-being goals. The research results indicate the dependence of the number of fulfilled sustainable development goals on the company size. It is established that the greater the amount of gross revenue, net revenue or number of employees, the more sustainable development goals the company fulfils. The obtained results can be used by transport and logistics companies in further development of policies for the fulfilment of sustainable development goals. The conducted research opens up new areas of further studies, in particular the impact of fulfilling sustainable development goals by transport and logistics companies on their investment attractiveness and market capitalization.
КОНЦЕПТУАЛЬНІ ДЕТЕРМІНАНТИ РОЗВИТКУ КОРПОРАТИВНОЇ ЗВІТНОСТІ В ІНФОРМАЦІЙНИХ ЕКОНОМІКАХ ТА СУСПІЛЬСТВАХ
Authors: Мисака Ганна , Дерун Іван
Published: September 2022

Корпоративна звітність є важливим інструментом коригування діяльності бізнес-структур під тиском зовнішніх інституційних сил, що реалізується шляхом інформування стейкхолдерів про те, наскільки ця діяльність відповідає запитам суспільства та спрямована на підвищення його блага. Активізація запитів і інвесторів, і стейкхолдерів без фінансового інтересу на якісне розкриття релевантної інформації щодо впливу діяльності суб’єктів звітування на суспільство та довкілля стимулює перманентне реформування системи корпоративної звітності в пошуку ефективних форм і способів її реалізації. Метою статті є визначення концептуальних детермінант подальшого розвитку корпоративної звітності на основі аналізу еволюції теоретико-організаційних засад та практичних механізмів її формування в інформаційних економіках і суспільствах та інституціоналізації корпоративної відповідальності на тлі імплементації парадигми сталого розвитку. Установлено, що побудова системи корпоративної звітності відзначається паралельним застосуванням значної кількості неповних (або нечітко сформульованих) теорій, які стосуються розкриття в ній і фінансової, і нефінансової інформації. У результаті її практичні механізми отримують переважно фрагментарні тлумачення, що в умовах нерівномірного зовнішнього тиску спричиняє появу численних неузгодженостей та протиріч. Доведено, що, незважаючи на відносну врегульованість складання фінансової звітності, необхідність формування цілісної та послідовної теорії корпоративної звітності загострилася в процесі розбудови саме нефінансової звітності, яка перманентно еволюціонує під визначальним впливом інституціональної теорії та теорії стейкхолдерів. Визначено, що зростання інтересу стейкхолдерів до екстерналій обумовило залучення потенціалу обліку до формування нефінансової звітності шляхом активізації професійних бухгалтерських організацій в інституційному середовищі корпоративної звітності. Розширення їхньої юрисдикції та спрямування зусиль на впорядкування правил подання корпоративної звітності забезпечить порівнянність її показників, що сприятиме її використанню стейкхолдерами. Проте релевантність нефінансових показників залежатиме від упливу обліково-фінансових служб на незалежність професійного судження фахівців з екологічних, соціальних та управлінських питань під час формування корпоративних звітів. Задоволення інформаційних потреб стейкхолдерів в інформаційних економіках та суспільствах пропонується реалізовувати шляхом формування корпоративної звітності як структурованої сукупності фінансових та нефінансових показників, які характеризуватимуть майновий стан, результати та наслідки господарської діяльності суб’єкта звітування з обов’язковим наданням незалежного підтвердження їхнього змісту.
FINANCIAL DECENTRALIZATION IN UKRAINE IN THE CONTEXT OF EUROPEAN TRENDS
Authors: Tolkmitt Volker , Volokhova Iryna , Ignatenko Ruslana
Published: September 2022

Decentralization is considered one of the most successful reforms in Ukraine. It has become a decisive factor in the social and economic development of the country. As a result of the reform, a significant amount of powers and sources of financial resources were transferred from the state authorities as close as possible to the people – to territorial communities in the form of local self-government bodies. Decentralization processes are dominant in the developed countries of the world and involve strengthening the financial autonomy of municipalities. However, in contrast to European countries, Ukraine remains a state in which extensive methods of economic development are preserved.The article is devoted to the study of the process of financial decentralization in Ukraine, which was carried out in the context of European trends. It is justified that powers between the levels of power and management should be demarcated according to the principle of subsidiarity. The article analyzes the degree of decentralization of revenues of local budgets of Ukraine and the countries of the European Union. The current system of local taxation in Ukraine has been studied. According to the results of the study, problems related to financial decentralization were identified. The search for ways to increase local communities' own incomes and ways to increase the autonomy of local self-government bodies was carried out. Proposals have been developed to improve the efficiency of tax revenue generation, which aims to help strengthen the financial independence of local budgets at the current stage of development.
Residual Verb Second in French and Romance
Authors: Wolfe Sam
Published: September 2022

This article revisits the classic definition of a Residual Verb Second language in light of evidence from the history of French, which is supplemented with synchronic evidence from the Romance languages. The core proposal is that following the loss of the Verb Second property French has successively lost multiple Verb Second correlates such that the grammar at different stages can be described as ‘more’ or ‘less’ Verb Second, according to the degree of left-peripheral phrasal or head movement permitted. Novel corpus data is presented for Renaissance and Classical French to show that the triggers for such movement become increasingly restricted along micro and nanoparametric grounds. The gradient conception of Residual Verb Second which emerges from the data is also borne out in the Modern Romance languages, which are argued to instantiate multiple points on a typology of Verb Second residues according to the degree of left-peripheral phrasal movement or head movement that they license.
What is “residual verb second”? And what does Romance have to do with it?
Authors: Cruschina Silvio , Sailor Craig
Published: September 2022

This paper aims to clarify a point of persistent confusion in the literature: namely, the status of residual verb second. We approach this from both a terminological and typological perspective. Terminologically, traditional usage of residual V2 in the literature has conflated two different senses (one formal, and one historical); we argue that it is essential to keep these two senses separate. We propose a distinction between partial V2 and residual V2 within the general typology of verb second. Following a formal definition of V2 from the recent literature, we define partial-V2 systems as involving genuine instances of V2 that are limited to nondeclarative environments in a given language (e.g. English). By contrast, we (re)define residual V2 as describing purely vestigial structures that do not qualify as formally V2 in the synchronic grammar of a given language, despite their historical origins in an earlier stage in which the language had true V2. In this respect, almost all modern Romance languages provide clear examples of residual V2: the syntax of these languages is only historically related to V2, with all formal traces of V2 having been long lost, even in nondeclaratives. With these clarifications in place, we propose an updated typology of V2 systems, conceiving of it as a spectrum of degrees from partial V2 through strict V2 (as measured by the set of formally-V2 environments that a given language allows).

Published: September 2022

Buscamos identificar quais as motivações para o crime de feminicídio. Realizamos uma coleta de artigos nas bases SCIELO, Periódicos CAPES e BVS, em português, inglês e espanhol, publicados entre 2015 e 2019. Selecionamos 11 pesquisas que atendiam aos critérios de inclusão e o objetivo proposto. Os resultados foram organizados em oito categorias: “Separação/fim do relacionamento”; “Ciúmes”; “A culpa foi dela: a conduta da mulher”, “Álcool e outras drogas e transtornos mentais”, “A saída para o mercado de trabalho”, “Estupro seguido de feminicídio e o tráfico de drogas”, “Quando a mulher é a mandante do crime”, “Masculinidades, violência e a defesa da honra”. Observamos que as motivações para o crime de feminicídio estiveram entrelaçadas aos mandatos de gênero, ou seja, quando uma mulher não performatiza a feminilidade esperada, ela pode estar em risco de morte e que os mandatos de masculinidade deram inteligibilidade na justificativa do crime.

The development of numerous ventures which includes organizational structures, growths, and services, has been documented for the period of a long time as an essential part of the politics of the globe. It is quite evident that the centre of financial power is transforming from West to East. Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has provided Pakistan and its surrounded countries with prominent opportunities through establishing and participating in the platform for masses in Central, West, South Asia, Middle East, and Africa. China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is a flagship project that is part of BRI. CPEC is the typical appearance of the conjunction of geo-strategic and geo-economic benefits of the two partners. Whereas the contemporary financial prudence would fulfill the financial benefits of Pakistan and China to enhance the development through mutual benefit in organizational structures & would correspond the efforts to secure common adversaries in forthcoming. CPEC is the significant initiative to establish energy, highway, port infrastructure & to expand financial networks among both countries. As this initiative has been acknowledged in Pakistan and China but there are various problems which equal partners must deal with cooperation, devotion, hard work, and with use of magnificent skills. The paper focuses on the development of CPEC and the benefits that are accomplished by both states. It also shed light on the geostrategic importance of Pakistan. The economic corridor is highly valued by Pakistan, and it has been signified in the terms of mutual benefit of economic and political growth

El objetivo de este artículo es presentar una reflexión sobre el espacio público como elemento de articulación ante los momentos de destrucción y reconstrucción de una ciudad por causa de desastres. Por otra parte, un segundo objetivo es indagar cuales son las características de esos espacios. Para ello, y a partir de una serie de trabajos que los autores han realizado en otros trabajos, se proponen dos tipos de articulaciones temporales entre el espacio público ante el desastre: una articulación retrospectiva, y una prospectiva. Posteriormente, a partir de una documentación y análisis de casos de estudio en ciudades de Japón, se documentan las características de dichos espacios. Se pretende, como objetivo último, tener un marco de referencia para ciudades como la de México, donde es necesario preparar este tipo de espacios ante el riesgo sísmico principalmente.

Published: September 2022

Doom pig is unique indigenous germplasm of Assam which is adaptable to local climatic conditions and thrives with very low to negligible nutritional input and is capable of surviving in a migratory scavenging system, which makes it very popular among local communities of the state for rearing. Looking at the uniqueness and importance of the breed, it has been registered with the National Database of ICAR-National Bureau of Animal Genetic Resources (INDIA_PIG_0200_DOOM_09006). The present study was undertaken to study the breeding tract, rearing practice in the field, evaluate the performance in the organized farm as well as its conservation needs. Formation of breed society, recognition of farmers, educating the stakeholders to use improved packages of practices and provision of incentives to the farmers to rear the animals will be helpful for the improvement of this unique germplasm.

Published: September 2022

Mannose-binding lectin (MBL), a pattern recognition molecule, is an important component of innate immune system. With multiple carbohydrate-recognition domains, it is able to bind to sugar groups present on the surfaces of a wide range of microorganisms and thereby provide first-line defence. MBL gene possibly contributes to bacterial infection resistance and was proposed as a molecular marker for milk production traits to control mastitis. A total of 100 cows (Hariana and Sahiwal) in milk were randomly selected and screened for the presence of one reported SNP (g.855G>A) in intron I and two SNPs (g.2686T>C and g.2651G>A) in exon 2 region of MBL1 gene. A 588 bp PCR fragment encompassing the intron I as well as 401 and 162 bp of containing the exon 2 of MBL1 gene were amplified and digested with ApaI, HaeIII and StyI, respectively. Genotype analysis using PCR-RFLP revealed a polymorphic banding pattern for g.855G>A and g.2686T>C while a monomorphic pattern for g.2651G>A. Association study of observed genotypes with milk production traits and somatic cell score (SCS) revealed a significant difference among g.2686T>C genotypes with age at first calving and SCS in Hariana cattle only. Although, the association study in present work was based on a relatively small sample size, further studies with large sample size are required to validate the impact of these SNPs.

Published: September 2022

With the soaring cost and scarcity of concentrate feeds worldwide, use of un-conventional tree foliages in the animal diets can be effective in curtailing the feeding costs to economise livestock production. The present experiment was conducted with the aim to assess incorporation of Himalayan Elm (Ulmus wallichiana) leaf meal (ELM) as partial replacement to conventional concentrate feed mixture (CFM) in total mixed ration (TMR) of sheep. In Experiment-I (in vitro study), the effect of graded increasing levels (0, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50%) of ELM inclusion as replacement to CFM constituting 40% in the basal TMR on nutrient degradability was assessed. The results revealed the effective level for optimal nutrient degradability at 30% ELM inclusion. In Experiment-II (in vivo study), a feeding trial was conducted for 30 days on sheep (16) distributed equally into two groups, offered basal TMR as control (Cont) and TMR containing ELM replacing CFM at 30% level as treatment group (ELMG), the level selected based on results of optimum nutrient degradability in in vitro assay. Without affecting dry matter and organic matter intakes, ELM included diet enhanced crude protein and neutral detergent fibre digestibility. Moreover, content and the intakes of digestible nutrients were similar between the two groups, with total digestible nutrients intake being 56.66% and 61.88% more than the recommendation in control and ELMG groups, respectively. Animals of both the groups were in positive balances of N, Ca and P, though N balances (g/d) and live weight gain (g/d) were comparable while Ca and P balances (g/d) were higher in ELMG. Cost of production lowered with 35.84% reduction in feed cost per kg live weight gain in ELMG group compared to control. It was concluded that 30% CFM in TMR for sheep could be replaced with ELM safely as a sustainable strategy to alleviate the conventional feed shortage for profitable sheep rearing.

Published: September 2022

Research on polymorphism of ghrelin (GHRL), an acylated peptide that stimulates the release of growth hormone from the pituitary, has shown that it is associated with some essential growth genes in chicken, hence veritable in genomic selection. There is porous information on the polymorphism of GHRL genes among Nigerian chickens. The objective of this study was to determine polymorphism of ghrelin gene among four Nigerian chicken populations. Blood sample (0.5 ml) was collected from the wing vein of 102 birds for DNA extraction. Tested PCR products were sequenced following Macrogen INC. The SNPs were determined using the sequence alignment program, CLUSTAL W, implemented in MEGA software. The sequence results showed 25 SNPs. The Nigerian chickens varied in polymorphic sites from Ogun chickens (348 and 535) to Nsukka chickens (558 and 696) at the GHRL 1 and GHRL2 loci respectively. Polymorphic sites and diversity were higher among the Nsukka chicken than other populations of the Nigerian chickens. SNPs common to one geographic varied in another. The result revealed that genomic selection based on ghrelin SNPs may yield higher predictive accuracy, while Nsukka chickens could be useful for the creation of more superior lines for the global poultry industry. Since past studies have revealed that ghrelin gene stimulates the pituitary and hypothalamus for releasing growth factor (GF) hormone and have strong effect on many organs, we suggest an association study of ghrelin gene and growth traits.

Published: September 2022

First lactation 305 days milk yield (FL305DMY) of progenies is an important criteria for selection of sires. In field progeny testing programme, prediction of FL305DMY based on test day records will reduce the cost of recording. The present study was aimed at evaluating the efficiency of different methods of prediction for FL305DMY based on monthly test day milk yield records in Karan Fries cattle and evaluation of sires based on the performance of its progenies. Methods of prediction were Woodâ€™s incomplete gamma function and Artificial neural network (ANN). Efficiency of prediction was compared using error of prediction. Root mean square error was least for ANN method (5.72%). The attempt was made to evaluate Karan Fries sires based on actual and predicted FL305DMY so obtained utilising BLUP- AM method of sire evaluation. The breeding values of 48 Karan Fries sires having 3 or more daughters were estimated. Comparison of ranking of sires based on different methods of prediction was done using Spearmanâ€™s Rank correlation and RMSE values. The sire evaluation using ANN method based predicted values showed marginally higher rank correlation (0.91) and least RMSE (2.39%) with actual yield based on monthly test day records. Thus it was concluded that recoding at monthly intervals and use of ANN and conventional fitting Woodâ€™s function can be used for evaluation of sires. Though both the methods are equally efficient, ANN showed marginal superiority.
Sheep pastoralism in southern Karnataka
Authors: G S NAVEEN KUMAR , A VANI , INAMDAR BASAVARAJ
Published: September 2022

Present study was conducted to understand and document the migratory system followed, socio-economic status, management and healthcare practices adopted by pastoralists of southern Karnataka. In-person interview method with a structured questionnaire was used for collecting data from 25 shepherd groups on migration. Migration starts during December and continues for 6â€“8 months covering around 200 km. The breed is locally called Tumkur or Sira sheep which is not yet recognized as a separate breed. Migratory flock usually contains 1,000 to 1,200 sheep, 50 goats, 10 donkeys and 2â€“4 dogs. The average adult male to female ratio is 1 : 22. Sale of lambs and penning rental are the main sources of income. Sheep pastoralism is an established and effective way of utilizing the excess green cover in transient regions by the sheep from pasture deficient dry zones. Maintaining the social and community pasture and forest lands at their home place will be a benefit during the lean and non-migratory periods. Assessing the migratory paths, fodder and water resource and penning demand by the farmers on migratory tract will help policy makers to provide suitable interventions to curtail the problems of pastoralists. The traditional knowledge of shepherds should be documentedand validated for larger use. The pastoralists need to be educated and trained about the use of digital finance management, herd diversification, health management and government schemes to increase their profitability and standard of living.
Evaluation of Asaoka and Hyperbolic Methods for Settlement Prediction of Vacuum Preloading Combined with Prefabricated Vertical Drains in Soft Ground Treatment
Authors: Pham Quang Dong , Ngo Van Linh , Tran The Viet , Trinh Minh Thu
Published: September 2022

This study evaluated the use of the Asaoka and hyperbolic methods to estimate the ultimate settlement of soft ground treated by vacuum preloading combined with prefabricated vertical drains. For this aim, a large-scale physical laboratory model was constructed. The model was a reinforced-tempered glass box containing a soil mass with dimensions of 2.0 × 1.0 × 1.2 m (length × width × depth). Physical models of this scale for the same purpose are rare in the literature. The soil was taken from a typical coastal region in Dinh Vu Hai Phong, Vietnam. The surface settlement near and between the two drains was measured right after the vacuum preloading started. Important properties of the soil were tested to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment method. The measured settlement was used in the Asaoka and hyperbolic methods to predict the potential ultimate settlement. The results showed the superiority of the vacuum consolidation approach in improving fundamental engineering properties of soft soil. Furthermore, the ultimate settlement predicted by both methods showed a good agreement with the measured value, proving that the Asaoka and hyperbolic methods are suitable for the estimation of the ultimate settlement of soft soil treated with vacuum consolidation.

Published: September 2022

This work presents the development of a markerless optical motion capture system of the front-crawl swimming stroke. The system only uses one underwater camera to record swimming motion in the sagittal plane. The participant in this experiment was a swimmer who is active in the university’s swimming club. The recorded images were then segmented to obtain silhouettes of the participant by a Gaussian Mixture Model. One of the swimming images was employed to generate a human body model that consists of 15 segments. The silhouette and model of the participant were subjected to an image matching process. The shape of the body segment was used as the feature in the image matching. The model was transformed to estimate the pose of the participant. The intraclass correlation coefficient between the results of the developed system and references were evaluated. In general, all body segments, except head and trunk, had a correlation coefficient higher than 0.95. Then, dynamics analysis by SWUM was conducted based on the joint angle acquired by the present work. The simulation implied that the developed system was suitable for daily training of athletes and coaches due to its simplicity and accuracy.
Analysis of the Copper Industry Chain in Indonesia Using a System Dynamics Approach to Optimize Its Added Value
Authors: Rahmahwati Atika , Wibowo Aryo Prawoto , Rosyid Fadhila Achmadi
Published: September 2022

Indonesia is a leading producer of a wide range of minerals, including copper. Nonetheless, the copper-based industry in Indonesia is still not well developed, especially the limited number of products from the intermediate copper industry which will become raw materials for its downstream industry. The underdeveloped intermediate copper industry has forced Indonesia to import several types of copper-based semi-finished products to meet the needs of the downstream industry. On the other hand, the mining industry still exports copper concentrate and some copper cathodes produced by smelting. As a result, the added value obtained by Indonesia from copper is not optimal. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct research on the copper industry chain and to estimate the increase in added value that could be generated. In this study, a system dynamics (SD) model was developed. During the simulation period of 2020 to 2030, the total added value along the copper industry chain that can be obtained is USD 70,422,840,000 if the planned smelter and refinery is completed in 2023 to process all domestic concentrates and to increase intermediate industry capacity.

Hanefî furû‘ fıkıh eserinde yürütülmüştür. Biz de bu makâlemizde Hanefî mezhebinin
ilk ve temel eserlerinden biri olan el-Asl’ın tamamını okuyarak ulaştığımız istihsan
örnekleri içerisinden “istihsan” kelimesi ve türevlerinin kullanılmadığı örnekler
üzerinde bir inceleme yaptık. İncelemelerimiz neticesinde bu örneklerin bir kısmında
sadece kıyas kavramının kullanıldığı sonucuna vardık. Sadece kıyas kavramının
kullanıldığı bu örneklerin bazısında kıyasın terk edildiğinin de açıkça dile getirildiğini
gördük. Örneklerin diğer bir kısmında ise istihsan yahut kıyası karşılamak üzere
“hasen”, “ehabbu ileyye”, “kabîh” gibi farklı lafız ve ibârelerin tercih edildiğini; bir
bölümünde ise sadece istihsan gerekçesine yahut hükmüne yer verilmekle yetinildiğini
tespit ettik. Bu örnekler göz ardı edilemeyecek kadar çok sayıda olup bu makâle de
söz konusu örneklerin dışarıda bırakıldığı bir araştırma ile el-Asl’daki istihsan anlayışı
hakkında kapsayıcı ve isâbetli sonuçlara ulaşmanın mümkün olmadığını göstermeyi
amaçlamaktadır.

Published: September 2022

“Afet ve acil durum yönetimi” kavramı, Hz. Peygamber (s.a.v.)’in “Tedbir gibi akıl yok!” uyarısının yanına konulduğunda daha anlamlı hale gelmektedir. Bununla birlikte; deprem öncesinde alınması gereken “mânevî tedbirlerin” neler olabileceği sorusuna cevap aramamız gerekmektedir. “Deveni bağlayıp öyle tevekkül et” hadisinin ikinci kısmı olan tevekkül, “maddî tedbir”le çelişmediği gibi, insanları depremin ürpertici tarafıyla yüzleşmeye mânen ve rûhen hazırlama görevini de ifa etmektedir. Araştırmamızda, İslâm tarihinin arşivci âlim ve muhaddislerinden Celâlüddîn es-Süyûtî (ö. 911/1505)’nin, deprem üzerine özel olarak te’lif ettiği ve 20 küsur kaynağa atıfla hicrî 94 ilâ 905 (713-1500) tarihleri arasında yaşanan 113 depremi kayda geçirdiği Keşfü’s-Salsale an Vasfi’z-Zelzele adlı eserinden alıntılar yapılmış; Şâfiî, İbn Ebî Şeybe, İbn Ebi’d-Dünyâ, Ebû Nuaym ve Beyhakî gibi muhaddislerin kitaplarından ve bazı fıkıh kaynaklarından hareketle Hz. Peygamber’in hadisleri, Hz. Ali, İbn Abbâs, İbn Mes’ûd gibi sahâbîlerin sözleri, Ömer b. Abdilaziz ve Hz. Ali’nin torunu Ali b. Hüseyn gibi alimlerin tavsiyeleri aktarılmış; deprem öncesinde, sırasında ve sonrasında yapılması gereken oruç, sadaka, dua, tövbe, tesbîh, tekbîr, salavât ve namaz (salâtü’l-âyât) gibi ibadetlere yer verilmiştir. Depremden en az zararla kurtulmak için alınacak maddî tedbirlerin dînî bir zorunluluk olduğuna ve depremi “tedbirsiz bir tevekkülle” karşılamanın sakıncasına ayrıca temas edilmiştir.

Türkiye’de 2014-2015 eğitim öğretim yılından itibaren İmam Hatip Ortaokullarına devam eden öğrencilere eğitimlerine ara vermeksizin hafızlık yapma imkânı verilmiştir. Örgün eğitim ile birlikte hafızlık eğitimi imkânı sunan İmam Hatip Okulları Millî Eğitim Bakanlığı tarafından proje ortaokulu kapsamına alınmış ve uygulamaya esas olacak Örgün Eğitimde Hafızlık Projesi Vizyon Belgesi yürürlüğe girmiştir. İmam Hatip Orta Okullarında örgün eğitimde hafızlık projesine ihtiyaç hissedilmesindeki en önemli faktör, Kur’an-ı Kerim'i ezberlemek için en verimli dönemin örgün eğitim dönemine denk gelmesidir. 2017 yılında yapılan bu araştırmada Örgün Eğitimde Hafızlık projesi olgusal bir bakış açısı ile incelenerek yönetici görüşleri çerçevesinde değerlendirme yapılmıştır. Bu nicel araştırmada, veri toplama aracı olarak likert tipi anket kullanılmıştır. Türkiye genelinde proje kapsamına alınan 11 İmam Hatip Ortaokulu yöneticisinin görüşleri alınmış, bulgular tartışılarak Örgün Eğitimde Hafızlık Projesi betimsel analiz yöntemiyle incelenmiştir. Projenin uygulama amacını, içeriğini ve süreçlerini etkileyecek sonuçlara ulaşıldığı değerlendirilmektedir. Araştırmanın alanda yapılacak diğer çalışmalara ışık tutacağı ve literatüre katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.

Published: September 2022

İnsanların düşüncelerini ve duygularını aktarmak için kendilerine has bir dilleri üslupları vardır. Bununla kişi kendini ve misyonunu temsil eder. Hz. Peygamber de gönderildiği davayı temsil etmek üzere belli bir dil ve üsluba sahip idi. Zira Resûlullah’ın, Allah Teâla’nın gözetimi altında büyümesi, onun cevâmiu’l-kelim türünden olan sözleri söylemesinde önemli bir yere sahiptir. Yine Hz. Peygamber’in yetiştiği çevresinin, onun fesâhetli ve belâğatlı konuşmasına büyük etkisi olduğu söylenebilir. Bu çalışmada Resûlullah’ın fesâhat ve belâgatı ile cevâmiu’l-kelim tabiri incelenmiş, bu ifadenin Resûlullah’tan önce kullanılıp kullanılmadığı ortaya konulmuştur. Cevâmiu’l-kelim kabilinden olan rivayetlerin muhaddisler nezdindeki durumu tespit edilmiş, bunlarla birlikte cevâmiu’l-kelim özelliğine sahip rivayetlerin muhaddisler tarafından nasıl aktarıldığı irdelenmiştir. Ayrıca cevâmiu’l-kelim ile ilgili 20 literatür tespit edilip tanıtılmıştır. Cevâmiu’l-kelim özellikli hadisleri kaleme alan âlimlerin kimlikleri tespit edilip hangi alanda uzman oldukları ortaya konmaya çalışılmıştır. Bu alimlerin tespit edilen cevâmiu’l-kelim ile ilgili yazdıkları teliflerinin muhtevası incelenmiş, irdelenmiş ve hangi konuların daha çok ele alındığı açığa çıkarılmaya çalışılmıştır.

Background: Nitrogen (N) plays an important role within milk production systems (MPS), as an indicator of environmental and economic efficiency. Objective. The objective was to determine utilisation of N offered in the ration and estimate GHG from the enteric fermentation and manure management in 12 small-scale dairy farms under two feeding strategies. Methodology. Six farms had their herds in confinement under a cut-and-carry feeding system, and six farms implemented day grazing of mixed pastures, both systems used commercial concentrates as a supplement. Cows in milk production and their replacements were considered in the study. Pasture intake was calculated by difference in dry matter intake, using 3.2 % of live weight as intake factor. The N utilisation was determined by difference between N intake and excretion at each farm during a whole year operation. The GHG emissions were estimated following Tier 2 guidelines rom IPCC. Differences in feeding strategies were analysed with a completely random block design using farms as a blocking factor. Results. Mean farm size was 5.0 ha for cut-and-carry and 16.0 ha for grazing, and dry matter feed self-sufficiency was 62 and 83% respectively, considering 12% and 22% refusals for each strategy. There were no statistically significant differences (P>0.05) for any of the N utilisation components (N in diet, N in milk, N in manure, NH3 and N2O or GHG emissions. Implications. This is a novel report on assessing N fluxes and GHG emissions from small-scale dairy systems in Mexico and Latin America. Conclusions. In general, 87.6% of the N consumed is excreted in manure and urine. The feeding strategies did not diverge enough to have an impact on GHG emissions.

Background. The area under sweet potato cultivation on the Peruvian coast has grown in the last 10 years due to increased market demand; however, its level of sustainability is unknown due to crop intensification. Objective. To determine the level of sustainability of sweet potato production units (SPU), considering economic, environmental and social aspects, applying multivariate analysis techniques and methodological proposals. Methodology. Surveys with structured questions were applied to farmers responsible for managing their SPU. The values of the economic, environmental and social indicators were found according to a methodological proposal of multidimensional analysis. The data were adapted to an ordinal scale from 1 to 5, in which 1 was considered the least sustainable and 5 an ideal level of sustainability. Implications. The value of economic, environmental and social indicators determines the level of sustainability of agricultural production systems. Conclusions. The economic, social and environmental indicators contribute with a General Sustainability Index (GSI) of 2.93; value that places the SPU in a critical condition due to the fact that the value of the environmental indicators fails to exceed the minimum sustainability threshold established in the applied methodology.

Background: Pasteuria penetrans is a nonculturable bacterium that obligately parasitizes several species of phytopathogenic nematodes. Unknown endogenous female, plant or microbial reproductive factors are indispensable for multiplication and endospore formation of P. penetrans. Objective: To characterize P. penetrans endospores by 16S rRNA gene sequencing in samples from infected adult female Meloidogyne javanica and microbiota of infected and uninfected adult female M. javanica with P. penetrans by high-throughput sequencing of the V4 hypervariable region of the 16S rRNA gene. Methodology: Infected roots were collected from grapevines; fresh infective juvenile nematodes (J2) were extracted for P. penetrans endospore fixation and inoculation into tomato plants. Genomic and metagenomic DNA from infected and uninfected adult females of M. javanica was extracted for sequencing by sequencing the V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene of P. penetrans and its bacterial microbiome. The generated sequences were processed using bioinformatics software for analyses of alpha and beta diversity indices of the bacterial microbiome. Results: An amplicon of 550 base pairs with 98% identity and homology to P. penetrans was obtained. The taxonomic profile revealed the highest bacterial diversity and richness in the microbiota related to infected adult females, with Proteobacteria occurring in both samples between 45 and 83%, followed by Firmicutes, Actinobacteria and Bacteroidetes with 19, 11 and 8% respectively at the phylum level. Likewise, the most abundant genera associated with the native microbiota of the adult nematode were identified as Pseudomonas, Flavobacterium and Chitinophaga at 82.5, 15 and 2%, respectively. In infected females, Paenibacillus, Pasteuria, Pseudomonas and Streptomyces were recorded with 45, 7, 6 and 5% respectively, the most abundant. Implications: The results suggest the existence of bacterial genera in infected M. javanica females involved in the in vivo development of P. penetrans endospores. Conclusions: This would reveal a reduction of Pseudomonas dominance favoring the colonization of different bacteria that cohabit with P. penetrans, being this change in the microbial composition a possible factor that favors the multiplication of P. penetrans endospores within the host.
