Kent iklimi ısı değişimlerinde yüksek yapıların rolü: İzmir kent merkezi araştırmaları
Authors: Yalıner Ahmet İlker , Begeç Hasan
Published: September 2024

Yapılı çevre düzeni kurulmaya başladıkça yapı-çevre ilişkisi mimarlık disiplininde araştırma konusu olmuştur. Araştırmalardan elde edilen veriler; çoğunlukla taşıyıcı sistem kararları, cephe malzemesi seçimi, konfor koşullarına yönelik yapay sistemlerin uygulanması gibi inşa aşamasına yönelik girdiler olarak kullanılmıştır. Günümüzde değişen iklim dengesi nedeniyle yapı-çevre ilişkisine yönelik araştırmalar farklı bir düzleme taşınmaktadır.

Küresel iklim değişikliğine bağlı olarak, iklimde hissedilir bozulmalar yaşanmaktadır. Kent ikliminde bu bozulmalar içerisinde en büyük etkiyi, ısı değişimleri oluşturmaktadır. Literatürde, yapıların neden olduğu ısı değişimleri ısı adası etkisi olarak araştırılmaktadır. Bu araştırmalar yapının kütlesel biçiminin, ısı değişimleri ile doğrudan ilişkili olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Büyük hacimleri ve farklı kütlesel biçimleri nedeniyle yüksek yapıların da kentsel ısı değişimlerinde rolü olduğundan bahsetmek gerekmektedir. Tekil inşa edilen yüksek yapıların iklim verilerine etkileri sınırlı kalmaktadır. Ancak yüksek yapıların bölgesel yoğun inşa edildiği alanlarda ise kentsel ısı değişimlerinin kalıcı olması beklenmektedir. Bu çalışma, kent ikliminde ortaya çıkan ısı değişimlerinde, yüksek yapıların kütle biçimlerinin ne derece etkili olduğunu sorgulamaktadır.

Çalışma yöntemi iki aşamalıdır. Öncelikle inşa edilmiş yüksek yapılarda bir yıl boyunca sıcaklık değerleri ölçülmüştür. Ardından söz konusu yapıların kütle modellerinin bilgisayar ortamında ışık benzetimlerinin yapılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular ise çaprazlanarak analiz edilmiştir. Analizlerin sonuç verileri üzerinden kütlesel önerilerde bulunularak çalışma tamamlanmıştır.

Calculus bovis in hepatocellular carcinoma: Tumor molecular basis, Wnt/β-catenin pathway role, and protective mechanism
Authors: Koriem Khaled Mohamed Mohamed
Published: September 2024

In this editorial, we comment on the recent article by Huang et al. The editorial focuses specifically on the molecular mechanisms of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), mechanism of Wnt/β-catenin pathway in HCC, and protective mechanism of Calculus bovis (CB) in HCC. Liver cancer is the fourth most common cause of cancer-related deaths globally. The most prevalent kind of primary liver cancer, HCC, is typically brought on by long-term viral infections (hepatitis B and C), non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, excessive alcohol consumption, and other conditions that can cause the liver to become chronically inflamed and cirrhotic. CB is a well-known traditional remedy in China and Japan and has been used extensively to treat a variety of diseases, such as high fever, convulsions, and stroke. Disturbances in lipid metabolism, cholesterol metabolism, bile acid metabolism, alcohol metabolism, and xenobiotic detoxification lead to fatty liver disease and liver cirrhosis. Succinate, which is a tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediate, is vital to energy production and mitochondrial metabolism. It is also thought to be a signaling molecule in metabolism and in the development and spread of liver malignancies. The Wnt/β-catenin pathway is made up of a group of proteins that are essential for both adult tissue homeostasis and embryonic development. Cancer is frequently caused by the dysregulation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. In HCC liver carcinogenesis, Wnt/β-catenin signaling is activated by the expression of downstream target genes. Communication between the liver and the gut exists via the portal vein, biliary tract, and systemic circulation. This "gut-liver axis" controls intestinal physiology. One of the main factors contributing to the development, progression, and treatment resistance of HCC is the abnormal activation of the Wnt/β-Catenin signaling pathway. Therefore, understanding this pathway is essential to treating HCC. Eleven ingredients of CB, particularly oleanolic acid, ergosterol, and ursolic acid, have anti-primary liver cancer properties. Additionally, CB is important in the treatment of primary liver cancer through pathways linked to immune system function and apoptosis. CB also inhibits the proliferation of cancer stem cells and tumor cells and controls the tumor microenvironment. In the future, clinicians may be able to recommend one of many potential new drugs from CB ingredients to treat HCC expression, development, and progress.
From traditional Chinese medicine formulations to effective anticancer agents: Insights from Calculus bovis
Authors: Zhao He-Tong
Published: September 2024

This editorial examines the therapeutic potential of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for aggressive cancers, particularly liver cancer. It highlights the study by Huang et al , which shows how Calculus bovis, a component of the TCM Pien Tze Huang, suppresses liver cancer by inhibiting M2 macrophage polarization via the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. This research emphasizes the importance of transitioning from effective TCM formulations to isolating active components and understanding their mechanisms. While the study provides valuable insights, it primarily focuses on the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and does not delve deeply into the mechanisms of individual components. Future research should aim to comprehensively study these components, explore their interactions, and validate findings through clinical trials. This approach will integrate traditional wisdom with modern scientific validation, advancing the development of innovative cancer treatments based on TCM formulations.

A Reconstruction of Privaldai Proglacial Lake Based on 1 : 200 000 Geologic Mapping Data
Authors:   Fersman Mineralogical Museum, Moscow, Komagorova M. A.
Published: September 2024

The Privaldai proglacial lake has been reconstructed using mapped deposits within all areas where glaciolacustrine sediments of the Luga deglaciation stage are found. We utilized maps at a scale of 1 : 200 000 (mainly first-generation maps) to facilitate correlation of map symbols and boundaries. The reconstruction was collated with models on the boundaries of the Luga and Krestets deglaciation stages after different authors, i. e. classical mid-20 th century reconstructions and modern western digital relief models. The resulting reconstruction was overlain on our own FAB-based model of the proglacial basin. We also identified and compared extant abrasion scarps at varied elevations recorded on the maps of these territories. The work was done in Q-GIS-3.34 so that the results obtained can be further used to simulate glacioisostatic crustal movements.

Sicily, a crossroads between East and West
Authors:   State Conservatory of Music V. Bellini of Caltanissetta, Cannizzaro Diego
Published: September 2024

It is noted that sacred music in Sicily (extreme south of Europe) is a fascinating interweaving of Eastern and Western traditions. It is noted that the traditions of the Western Latin Church include - Cantillation: a form of word intensification used to recite prose passages Scripture. - Psalmody and Responsoria: the reading of the Word with musical accompaniment. The Sicilian musical tradition is of Hellenic origin. This is evidenced by the fact that the population of the town of Piana degli Albanesi Piana degli Albanesi (also known as Piana dei Grechi) in Arberesche, Palermo province, Sicily is known for the jealous preservation of traditions, language, habits and customs, especially in religious rituals, which have been have been passed down for centuries. It has been studied that in the Latin tradition between the 12th and 16th centuries we find the presence of the Gallican sacred musical tradition (originating from the first Norman kings of Sicily). However, since the 16th century, the liturgy of Sicilian churches is aligned with the Roman Latin liturgy. Even today, however, in some places the Greek and Latin traditions survive side by side. Key words: Sicily, the cathedral, Latin tradition, habits, customs.

Published: September 2024

Істотну нішу займає втілення східного типу медитативності, незвичного для західної академічної музики минулих епох і водночас корелюючого з споглядальними аспектами християнства. Стаття присвячена висвітленню наукового і творчого контексту, який істотно вплинув на появу медитативних творів в українській музичній творчості, а також виявленню їх жанрових попередників у ХІХ–ХХ століттях. Виявлено, що у творчості багатьох українських митців присутнє прагнення осягнути численні виклики культурно-мистецької взаємодії між різними культурами, втілити іншокультурні концепти, котрі є наслідком особистих вражень і збагачення їх мистецького досвіду. В таких опусах відтворено або відгук на знахідку іншого майстра, або особистісне осягнення того чи іншого аспекту буття з позицій "іншого" світогляду, або бажання посилити і збагатити тенденцію, що розгортається у діалозі з відкриттями, актуальними для певного часу.

Комуністична ідеологія як еквівалент релігії на прикладі північнокорейської музики
Authors:   John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, Małek Anna
Published: September 2024

It is noted that the industrial society of the nineteenth century was distant from religion, and its consciousness was filled with the ideology of communism. The attractive promises of politicians in those circumstances created a strong position in Western Europe. The concepts of "political ideology", "religion", "authoritarianism" and "authoritarian personality" are clarified. It is noted that the cultural manifestations of the influence of communist ideology are especially noticeable in the music of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, where lyrics often honor leaders and contain elements of mythology and religious symbolism. The presence of the communist regime in several DPRK songs is analyzed. It is shown that these songs serve to strengthen ideological control and support the authoritarian regime through the creation of a common goal and the cult of personality. Keywords: communist ideology, religion, DPRK, music, song.
Ягеллонство та його історичні антитези у формуванні принципу культурно-мистецького єднання націй
Authors:   Volodymyr Hnatiuk Ternopil National Pedagogical University, Hysa Oksana
Published: September 2024

У статті визначено, що ягеллонство, як історико-культурний феномен, мало вирішальне значення для розвитку слов’янських культур і політики у Середньовічній Європі. Традиції ягеллонства, об'єднуючи католиків і православних Литовсько-Польського королівства, сприяли культурному й національному самоствердженню слов'ян, зокрема українців. Завдяки ягеллонству розвивалися православні братські школи у Львові, а культурні та освітні контакти сприяли збереженню слов'янської спадщини та протистоянню зовнішнім загрозам. Зазначено, що в Україні ягеллонство характеризується добою козацьких вольностей та високою освідченістю, а в Польщі – зберіганням старокатолицьких традицій в Кракові. Ключові слова: ягеллонство, католики-поляки, православні русини, Польща, Україна.

Published: September 2024

У статті зазначено, що в Україні актуальною є потреба в задоволенні духовно-релігійних потреб військовослужбовців та їхніх сімей. Релігія та церква завжди виступала своєрідною духовно-релігійною опорою суспільства і тому, під час повномасштабного вторгнення росії в Україну є важливим фактором цілісного духовного та культурного самовідтворення нації. Зауважено, що військова служба є виснажливою і морально складною, тому духовна підтримка відіграє важливу роль у формуванні психологічної стійкості військових. Капелани надають релігійну та психологічну підтримку, сприяють вихованню патріотизму та взаємоповаги. Зазначено, що капелани дотримуються конституційного права на свободу світогляду та віросповідання шляхом здійснення душпастирської опіки, релігійно-просвітницької роботи та соціально-доброчинної діяльності. Важливою є розробка нових методичних документів для вдосконалення капеланської діяльності, системи підготовки військових капеланів, впровадження єдиного незалежного підходу до здійснення заходів задоволення духовно-релігійних потреб та оцінювання їх ефективності. Ключові слова: капелан, Збройні Сили України, діяльність, духовні цінності, національна ідентичність.

Authors: Zaihan Othman  , Mohd Nasir Ismail  , Zulkifli Mohamed
Published: September 2024

This conceptual paper investigates into the complicated landscape of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) countries. Given the diverse economic, political, and social fabric of the OIC member states, FDI inflows exhibit substantial variability across these countries. We start by exposing the factors influencing FDI, ranging from macro-economic and market size, regulatory frameworks to political stability and diplomatic relations. Despite the promise held by these nations, several challenges persist. These include, but are not limited to, political unpredictability, infrastructural deficits, and sometimes, restrictive regulatory landscapes. Recognizing these barriers, the study proposes forward-looking strategies for OIC countries. Besides of barriers, some success stories were highlighted as an example of good practices. Digesting the barrier and good practices, some strategies were suggested to boost the FDI inflows into the region. Emphasis is placed on enhancing institutional quality, fostering a conducive business environment, leveraging technological advancements, and amplifying intra-OIC collaborations. The paper concludes with highlights for policy maker and investors the potential of OIC countries to attract more significant FDI by harmonizing their policies and collectively positioning themselves in the global market, while also respecting their unique cultural and socio-political contexts.
Unveiling the Nexus: Is Iron and Sodium Deficiency in Children with Febrile Seizures Risk Factor?
Authors: Deniz Yusuf , Durak Umut , Doğan Erkan , Ekmen Sadrettin
Published: September 2024

Aim: To examine the connection between the brain and sodium and iron levels in children under age 6.
Material and Method: This retrospective cohort study at Karabuk University Faculty of Medicine included 121 patients divided into three groups: Febril seizure (FS) patients, only fever children without FS, and healthy children. Our study distinguishes itself from other research in this field by its distinctive approach. Various laboratory parameters including sodium, Urea, Creatinine, AST, ALT, RDW, RDW Index, Mentzer Index, Hb, MCV, Ferritin and iron were compared among the groups. Statistical analysis used SPSS software and significance tests.
Results: Significantly lower sodium levels were observed in FS patients and iron levels were notably lower in children with FS. This findings suggest a potential association between lower sodium and iron levels in children with febrile seizures. Thus contributing to unveiling the nexus of brain. Additionaly, elevated AST levels in FS may signify liver function changes. findings suggest a connection between the liver function and brain function. However, urea and creatinine variations were non-significant.
Conclusion: Our findings suggest a potential association between electrolyte levels in children with febrile seizures. Iron plays a crucial role in brain metabolism and is necessary for the activity of certain enzymes involved in neurotransmitter functions. The low levels of sodium and particularly iron in the serum biochemistry of FS patients suggest a connection between these minerals and brain function. Moreover, the observed association between liver function markers and febrile seizures warrants further investigation into the link between liver health and brain function.

Aim: This study was aimed to determine the relationship between nutritional knowledge level and self-esteem in adult women with type 2 diabetes.
Material and Method: The sample of this descriptive cross-sectional study consisted of 387 participants. Data were collected in an endocrinology outpatient clinic via face-to-face interviews. The data collection form consisted of a 'Personal Information Form', 'Nutrition Habits Section', 'Nutrition Knowledge Level and Food Preference Scale', 'Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale'. Number and percentage were used in the SPSS package program. Results that were not normally distributed were evaluated according to non-parametric tests.
Results: The mean age of the participants was 42.00±11.35 years and the educational level of 31.2% was primary school. The mean total score of the scales obtained by the participants was average. In the study, no relationship was found between basic nutrition knowledge level and food preference and self-esteem in adult women with type 2 diabetes.
Conclusion: Basic nutrition knowledge and food preferences of women with Type 2 Diabetes were moderate and their self-esteem was adequate. It is important for health professionals to plan individual trainings by determining the nutritional knowledge levels and food preferences of women, and to ensure that diabetes control and self-esteem are increased in the effective management of diabetes and in the promotion of women's health.

Abstract : Although socialization of the risk of hazardous materials has been carried out in every area and mode of transportation that stores and transports these goods, both on signs and labels, it is still found that many people need to be more familiar with the potential dangers. Initial understanding of Hazardous Materials Identification was provided to students of Darul Ma'arif Logistic Vocational High School (SMK) located in North Jakarta as a Community Service (PKM) activity. This was done due to the lack of knowledge about the potential dangers of hazardous materials. Therefore to transform knowledge, the socialization method was carried out face-to-face. The aim of this PKM is to improve the knowledge and skills of SMK students in handling hazardous materials safely. The results of the pretest and posttest showed an increase in the final understanding of the participants by 17 points from 40 participants, with a high category of 0.718 in N Gain, and this socialization was declared quite effective with a Gain % of 71.8%.

A comprehensive synthesis of dung beetle records (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Scarabaeinae) from Sabah, Malaysia
Authors: Yim Marx , Ong Xin Rui , Chiew Li Yuen , Slade Eleanor
Published: September 2024

Dung beetles play key roles in terrestrial ecosystems, contributing to many important ecosystem process and functions, such as nutrient recycling, parasite control and seed dispersal. Due to their tight associations with mammals and their responses to environmental change, they are also frequently used as environmental and biological indicators. Despite their importance, knowledge about dung beetles in Southeast Asia is limited. To address this information gap, we established a databasing project - “Mobilising data on ecologically important insects in Malaysia and Singapore” - funded by the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). As part of this project, we compiled two extensive datasets – a sampling-event and occurrence dataset and a taxonomic checklist – for the dung beetles of Sabah, Bornean Malaysia. The sampling-event dataset documents 2,627 unique sampling events and 21,348 dung beetle occurrence records for Sabah. The taxonomic checklist includes 156 confirmed dung beetle species and 36 synonyms, totalling 192 records. These datasets have been made open access through the GBIF portal, which we hope will enhance the understanding of dung beetle taxonomy and their distributions in Southeast Asia.

All data presented in this paper comprises of available information pertaining to the dung beetles of Sabah.
No evidence for pronounced mate-finding Allee effects in the emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire)
Authors: Caouette Alexandre P. , Rutledge Claire E. , Heard Stephen B. , Pureswaran Deepa S.
Published: September 2024

Allee effects are density-dependent barriers that can impact species establishment and population growth, such as through reduced mating success at low population densities. The emerald ash borer, Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire, has been extremely successful at rapidly expanding its North American range. The impact of mate-finding Allee effects (an important type of component Allee effect) early in the invasion period of the emerald ash borer remains unknown. We measured mating success in females as a function of beetle abundance in Halifax, Canada, where the emerald ash borer was recently discovered, and in Connecticut USA, where it has been established for over a decade. We measured relative population abundance and sampled beetles using different strategies. In Halifax, we placed clusters of prism traps along an invasion gradient of emerald ash borer abundance, and in Connecticut, we collected beetles from foraging Cerceris fumipennis females. We dissected female reproductive tracts to measure mating success. We fit a linear regression to the mating success of females as a function of beetle abundance. We found that emerald ash borer did not present a pronounced mate-finding Allee effect as there was no positive relationship between female mating success and abundance. Lack of pronounced component Allee effects that impede population growth may explain rapid range expansion in species that are highly invasive, such as the emerald ash borer.
The Grumpy dwarfgoby, a new species of Sueviota (Teleostei, Gobiidae) from the Red Sea

Published: September 2024

A new gobiid species is described from ten specimens, 9.2 – 16.7 mm SL, collected from the Saudi Arabian Red Sea. The new species is most similar to Sueviota pyrios from the Gulf of Aqaba in the northern Red Sea. It differs from S. pyrios by having no large red spots on the dorsal and caudal fin elements, no elongate spines in the first dorsal fin, a shorter pelvic fin that does not reach the anus, branched pectoral fin rays, and a projecting lower jaw. The new species is further distinguished from all its congeners by a complete lack of cephalic sensory canals and pores. Specimens were found in small caves and overhangs at depths between 10 and 53 meters.
Après-coup et survivance : un anachronisme fondateur
Authors: Fabre Pierre-Antoine
Published: September 2024

L’objectif est de montrer comment, dans la logique anachronique du geste fondateur, qui ne parvient qu’après-coup à sa propre intelligence, une puissance efficace est engagée, qui fait de ce geste ce que l’on pourrait définir comme un multi-chronisme. Le terrain choisi est celui de la première histoire de la Compagnie de Jésus (1540-1600) dans la multiplicité de ses gestes anachroniques : la fondation en tant que telle, dans son surgissement, spirituel et politique, produit sa propre dissimulation en même temps que l’énergie souterraine de ses vibrations. C’est également à partir de là que l’on pourra comprendre pourquoi le geste fondateur s’attache aussi celui de la conversion comme contraction des temps, passé, présent, avenir, convulsivement saisis ensemble dans l’instant de la conversion mais aussi dans la perpétuation du mouvement que celle-ci déclenche. L’ambition ultime de cet essai serait de faire de la fondation, et spécifiquement de la fondation religieuse, un cas remarquable pour une réflexion beaucoup plus générale sur l’« événement » et le retard de sa révélation.
Le minotaure bigarré : un monstre antique sous le prisme du fantastique postmoderne de Victor Pelevine
Authors: Grammatikopoulou Eugenia
Published: September 2024

Transposant le mythe de Thésée et du Minotaure dans le chronotope cyber, Viktor Pelevine, l’enfant terrible de la perestroika littéraire russe, réinvente dans son récit vertigineux Le Heaume d’horreur (2005) le monstrueux dans le xxi e siècle. Une lecture proche du texte cherche à mettre en relief les multiples avatars de cette écriture postmoderne : redistribution des rôles et des personnages, hybridation de l’écriture via l’appropriation du jargon et les codes de communication électroniques, imbrication effrénée d’éléments, de signes, de symboles et d’images hétéroclites, humour corrosif, jonglage hilarant avec des noms, des traits d’esprit, des références intertextuelles, interculturelles ainsi que psychanalytiques.
L’interview imaginée : un genre littéraire
Authors: Mattia Gallerani Guido
Published: September 2024

Alors que le terme générique d’interview définit toutes les interviews journalistiques qui circulent dans les différents médias, je propose d’appeler « interview imaginée » le genre littéraire que les écrivains produisent en imaginant l’intervieweur, l’interviewé, ou les deux, comme des personnages de fiction. En analysant des exemples dans les domaines littéraires français et italien du xx e siècle, j’identifie trois types d’interview imaginée en fonction de l’interlocuteur qui est inventé dans chacun d’entre eux : l’auto-interview, l’interview impossible et l’interview fictionnelle. Remettant en scène certaines caractéristiques de l’interview de presse, l’interview imaginée ne représente pas seulement la revanche de l’écrivain sur les journalistes, illustrée dans ce genre par la caricature de l’intervieweur. Elle nous montre surtout la littérature en situation de s’adapter aux codes des médias de masse.
De « véritables éclairs […] dans la nuit sombre de l’ignorance nigritique » : ambivalences du roman « négrophile » à l’époque romantique
Authors: Marquer Bertrand
Published: September 2024

En prenant pour point de départ les remarques d’Anténor Firmin sur la logique retorse du « cas exceptionnel » dans le débat sur l’égalité des races, cet article étudie l’ambivalence de la valorisation romantique du héros noir lorsqu’elle repose sur une rhétorique de la singularité. L’usage d’une telle rhétorique pose en effet la question des raisons profondes du choix d’un héros de couleur, comme de l’articulation du « cas » romanesque à une rhétorique « négrophile » prônant l’égalité des races : de la définition et de la hiérarchisation de ces raisons dépend la signification que l’on peut accorder à la présence noire.
Présences haïtiennes : trois intellectuels noirs sur les chantiers de l’anthropologie française
Authors: Craipain Bastien
Published: September 2024

Cet article évoque la présence et l’engagement de trois personnalités haïtiennes au sein de la Société d’anthropologie et de la Société d’ethnographie de Paris à la fin du xix e siècle : Louis Joseph Janvier, Anténor Firmin et Bénito Sylvain. Il se propose, dans un premier temps, d’examiner les facteurs historiques et épistémologiques de leur invisibilisation en dehors d’Haïti et, plus particulièrement, en France. Afin de mettre en lumière la spécificité de leurs interventions et contributions respectives, il tente ensuite de replacer Janvier, Firmin et Sylvain dans le contexte du développement de l’anthropologie française dans la deuxième moitié du xix e siècle. Enfin, il s’efforce de réinscrire ces trois figures dans l’histoire intellectuelle haïtienne en démontrant comment l’anthropologie leur a permis de perpétuer la tradition patriotique et antiraciste de leurs prédécesseurs.
