YABANCILARA TÜRKÇE ÖĞRETİMİ DERS KİTAPLARINDA “BEN” VE “BİZ”: BİR ÜSTSÖYLEM ÇÖZÜMLEMESİNDE KÜLTÜREL YANSIMALAR
Authors: Güçlü Ruhan
Published: December 2024

Son yıllarda akademik metinlerdeki üstsöylem (metadiscourse) kullanımı üzerine yapılan çalışmalar, yazarın okurlara daha okur dostu ve tutarlı bir söylem sunmak için başvurduğu üstsöylemsel birimlerin, yazarın bulunduğu toplumun kültürel kimliği hakkında da bilgi taşıdığını ortaya koymaktadır. Bu çalışma, yabancı dil olarak Türkçe öğretimi amacıyla hazırlanan ders kitaplarında ben ve biz birinci kişi kullanımlarını incelemeyi ve bu kullanımların üstsöylem işlevlerini belirleyerek Türk kültürünü özellikle bireycilik-toplumsalcılık (individualism-collectivism) karşıtlığında nasıl yansıttığını ortaya çıkarmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaçla, Hyland’ın (2005a) Kişilerarası Üstsöylem Modeli kapsamında Yedi İklim, Yeni Hitit, İstanbul Yabancılar için Türkçe C seviyesi ders kitaplarının okuma metinlerindeki birinci tekil kişi ve birinci çoğul kişi kullanımları ve üstsöylemsel işlevleri nitel ve nicel olarak incelenmektedir. Veri çözümlemesi, ders kitaplarında birinci çoğul kişi adıl kullanımlarına daha fazla başvurulduğunu ve bu kullanımların sıklıkla kapsayıcı biz (inclusive we) üstsöylem işleviyle katılım belirleyicisi (engagement marker) olarak ortaya çıktığını göstermektedir. Bu bulgunun, hem Türkçenin sondan eklemeli (agglutinative) ve adıl düşüren (pro-drop) bir dil olması hem de Türk kültürünün daha çok toplumsal bir kimliğe sahip olmasından kaynaklandığı ileri sürülebilir. Bu çalışmanın sonuçlarının, yabancı dil ders materyalleri hazırlayanlara üstsöylem işlevi gören ögelerin kültürel yansımalardaki işlevi hakkında farkındalık sağlaması beklenmektedir.
BEYOĞLU SIRLARI’NIN TÜRKÇE SÖZ VARLIĞI ÜZERİNE BİR İNCELEME
Authors: Koç Giannopoulos Aylin
Published: December 2024

Söz varlığı bir dildeki sözlerin bütünü anlamına gelmekle birlikte dili kullanan toplumun kavramlar dünyasını, düşünce yapısını, maddi ve manevi kültürünü yansıtır. Bir edebî tür olan romanlar, söz varlığı bakımından önemli veriler içerir. 1888-1889 yılları arasında Yunan harfli Türkçe (Karamanlıca) Anatoli gazetesinde tefrika edilen Beyoğlu Sırları, bu romanlardan biridir. Gazetenin başyazarı ve imtiyaz sahibi olan Evangelinos Misailidis, Epameinondas Kiriakidis’in Yunanca Πέραν Απόκρυφα (Peran Apokrifa) adlı romanından Türkçeye çevirmiştir. Misailidis bu roman ile okurlara âdeta aynı dinden ve mezhepten ‘Yunanca konuşan bir dünya’ ile ‘Türkçe konuşan bir dünya’nın kapılarını açar. Özellikle diyaloglarda Avrupalılığa özenen İstanbul Rum sosyetesinin dili ile kenar mahallelerde, karanlık sokaklarda ve genelevlerde yaşayan alt tabakanın dili ustaca kullanılır. Beyoğlu Sırları kelime kadrosu açısından oldukça zengindir. Misailidis, romanın çevirisinde Osmanlı Türkçesindeki Arapça, Farsça sözcükler ile Rumların günlük hayatta kullandıkları Yunanca, İtalyanca, Fransızca, İngilizce sözcükleri ve terimleri (özellikle dinî terimler) başarıyla bir araya getirir.
Çalışmada, Beyoğlu Sırları romanının Türkçe söz varlığı tespit edilmeye çalışılmış, standart dile geçmemiş veya standart dilde yaygın olarak kullanılmayan örneklere yer verilmiştir. Metinde dönemin Anadolu Türkçesine hassaten Karamanlı Türkçesine has sözcükler, deyimler, atasözleri, diğer kalıp sözler alfabetik sıralanarak cümle içindeki anlamları ve geçtiği yerler belirtilerek değerlendirilmiştir.
FORMALİSTLERİN 20. YÜZYILDA GÖRDÜKLERİ RÜYA “DİVAN ŞİİRİ”: ŞEYH GȂLİB’İN “YȂKȖT” REDİFLİ GAZELİNİN BİÇİMCİLİK AÇISINDAN İNCELENMESİ
Authors: Ekici Ayşegül
Published: December 2024

20. yüzyılda Avrupa’da dil bilimle ilgili olarak Rus biçimciliği, yapısalcılık ve gösterge bilim gibi pek çok yeni dilsel, biçemsel ve yazınsal kuram ortaya konmuştur. Bu kuramlar, sadece edebiyatla ilgili olmayıp mimariden resme kadar birçok farklı ve benzer disiplinleri ortak paydada birleştirerek uygulanabilirlik alanları kazanmıştır. 1915-1930 yıllarında Moskova Şiir Dilini İnceleme Derneğinde bir araya gelen sanatçıların eser merkezli bir eleştiri kuramı olan Rus biçimciliği (formalizm); kural ve kalıplar ortaya koymayı hedefleyen ve yıllarca kendi çizgisinden ödün vermeyip modern çağlarda dahi klasik imajını koruyup değer bulan divan şiirinin birtakım vazgeçilmez biçimsel ögeleriyle benzerlik göstermektedir. Rus biçimcileri 20. yüzyılda âdeta divan şiirini rüyalarında görmüş ve bu büyülü rüyanın mihenk taşlarını kendi şiirlerine yorumlamışlardır. Kuram, temelde şiir dilini düz yazı dilinden farklılaştıran teknikleri esas almaktadır. Şairin ne yazdığından ziyade nasıl yazdığı konusunda duran biçimcilerin en çok üzerinde durduğu konu “alışkanlıkları kırma” anlamına gelen “ostranenie”dir. Bu sebepten dolayı ilk önce “ostranenie” kavramı ve ona uygun seçilen gazele yansımaları üzerinde durulmuştur. Bu çalışmada iki disiplindeki ortaklıklardan faydalanıp Şeyh Gȃlib’in “yȃkȗt” redifli gazeli biçimcilik kuramına uygulanmaya çalışılacaktır. Bu şekilde bir şiiri en iyi şekilde anlayabilmek ve anlatabilmek için divan şiiri disiplinine, özü korumak esasıyla, modern bir kuramla yaklaşılabileceği gösterilecektir.

Published: December 2024

Türk edebiyatında dinî muhtevalı eserler arasında sayılan kısas-ı enbiyâların (peygamber kıssaları) kütüphanelerde telif ve tercüme çok sayıda örneği bulunmaktadır. Bu makalede ilk kez tanıtımı yapılacak olan Ayaşlı Şâbân-ı Şifâî Efendi’nin Kısas-ı Yûsufî adını taşıyan Farsçadan tercüme kısas-ı enbiyâsı da bu örneklerden biridir. IV. Mehmed devrinin (1648-1687) önemli devlet adamlarından Dârüssaade Ağası Yusuf Ağa’nın tavassutuyla yapılan tercüme, tamamlandıktan sonra padişaha sunulmuştur. Kaynaklarda ismi geçmekle birlikte daha önce üzerine yapılmış herhangi bir çalışma bulunmayan bu eserin üç farklı nüshasına ulaşılmıştır. Bunlar arasında Edirne Selimiye Kütüphanesi Yazmalar Bölümünde bulunan nüsha Şâbân-ı Şifâî’nin yaşadığı döneme oldukça yakın bir tarihte istinsah edilmiş olması münasebetiyle daha muteberdir. Eser bu nüsha merkeze alınarak incelemeye tabi tutulmuş, eserin muhtevası başlık başlık ortaya konulmuştur. Yazma nüshalardaki kayıtlardan Ebû İshâk İbrâhîm b. el-Mansûr b. Halefi’l-Müzekkir en-Nisâbûrî’nin Farsça Kısas-ı Enbiyâ’sının tercümesi olduğu anlaşılan bu eserin tanıtımıyla hem kısas-ı enbiyâ literatürüne hem de Şâbân-ı Şifâî külliyatına katkı sunulması amaçlanmaktadır.
OLGU VE KURGU ARASINDA SÛZÎ ÇELEBİ'YE GÖRE MİHALOĞLU ALİ BEY VE AKINCI TİPİ
Authors: Horata Osman
Published: December 2024

Akıncılar, Osmanlılarda düşman ülkelerine dönük yıpratma ve istihbarat faaliyetlerinde bulunan hafif süvari birlikleridir. 16. asrın sonlarına kadar İmparatorluğun sınırlarının Avrupa içlerine kadar genişlemesinde önemli bir rol oynayan akıncılar, bu özellikleri sebebiyle gazavatnamelerden romanlara ve serhat türkülerine kadar Türk edebiyatında da birçok esere konu edilmiştir. Bunlar içinde Sûzî Çelebi’nin (ö.1524) Mihaloğlu Ali Bey’in (ö.1506) akınlarını ve aşklarını anlattığı Gazavât-nâme’si ise, bütünüyle bu konuya hasredilen tek eser olması sebebiyle ayrı bir öneme sahiptir. Buna karşılık eser bilhassa edebî yönüyle yeterince incelenmemiştir. Gazavât-nâme, 1795 beyitten oluşan yarım kalmış bir mesnevidir. Eserin konusunu, Ali Bey’in dört akını ile Eflak prensinin kızı Meryem ve arkadaşı Bânû ile yaşadığı aşk oluşturmaktadır. Aşkla ilgili bölüm, birçok yönüyle çift kahramanlı aşk mesnevilerine benzemektedir. Tarihî olan ise sadece aşkın kahramanlarıdır. Eserde hatime bölümü ise yoktur. Gazavât-nâme’de, akınların anlatıldığı yerler ile kıssalar ve öğütler içeren didaktik muhtevalı kısımlarda açık ve canlı tahkiye üslubu hâkimdir. Tasvirlerde ve gazel vb. şiirler kısmında ise güçlü, sanatkârane bir üslup tercih edilmiştir. Eserde asıl ağırlığı da aksiyondan ziyade bu kısımlar oluşturur. Sûzî’ye göre, bir akıncının asıl gayesi Allah’ın dinini korumak ve yüceltmek için gaza etmek ve bu yolda şehit düşmektir. Ali Bey de, “gaza” peşinde koşan, “gayp erenleri”nin yalnız bırakmadığı efsanevi bir kahramandır. Ali Bey gibi, Mihaloğulları ailesinin kahramanlığı da Osman Gazi’nin yol arkadaşı Köse Mihal’e dayanmaktadır. Genellikle Türkmenlerden teşekkül eden, hayatlarını devlet için “akın”a, Allah için de “gaza” ve “cihat”a adayan akıncılar, bu özellikleriyle İslamiyetten önceki “alp” tipiyle İslamiyetten sonraki “gazi” tipinin özelliklerini bir arada toplayan, kolonizatör Türk dervişlerinden daha farklı bir tiptir.
A Study on the Transition to a Consumption-Based Heat Billing System
Authors: Dugargaramjav Tserendolgor
Published: December 2024

The reform of energy prices and tariffs, including the modernization of household heating tariffs, has become one of the most pressing issues in Mongolia’s energy sector today. It is time to transition to a consumption-based heat billing payment system that reflects market costs. The price of heat energy for household consumers in Ulaanbaatar has not changed since 2019. It is 2.8 times lower than the actual cost. This research paper will reflect on the innovation of energy price and tariff design. It will present a study on transferring thermal energy to a market-cost consumption-based payment system. It has become a pressing matter to align the current heat price and tariff categories with market principles. This entails increasing the prices of certain categories that do not align with the cost of purchase from the licensee's tariff and the cost of purchase from the source. Additionally, it involves exempting the heat energy prices and bringing them into line with market principles.

Cheese is a significant agri-food product for many people and the economy. Its manufacture has a long tradition, and its consumption varies according to the specifics of the cultures. Knowing consumers’ needs, attitudes, and approaches to consumption is essential in any industry, including the agri-food industry. That is why the subject of this paper is consumer behavior (CB), defining the factors that influence attitudes and intentions in cheese consumption observed at the level of two regions from Southeast Europe: the Republic of Serbia and Montenegro. The CB-Cheese scale was created for research purposes, which proved appropriate for this agri-food product research. The research showed significant differences in the behavior of the consumers of these two markets and that the consumption of cheese increases with the level of income. Special attention is paid to the quality of the product and its compatibility with the price. The obtained data provide clear guidelines for adequate placement in the regional market.

Authors: Kosanović Nada , Karna Mihajlo , Bartula Mirjana
Published: December 2024

The global trend of rural depopulation is a new challenge of the 21st century. As people migrate from rural areas to cities, the potential for growth in these areas diminishes. As the global population increases, the demand for food production relies heavily on agriculture, which is primarily carried out in rural areas. Serbia and the Netherlands share a common issue, but the circumstances surrounding it vary. The research methodology involves comparing data, followed by analysis and synthesis to draw meaningful conclusions. The criteria for comparison include demographic indicators, indicators of social well-being, and indicators of economic structure and performance. The results indicate that the Netherlands has more practical solutions for issues, a more content rural population, and better conditions for implementing rural policies. Regarding Serbia, the policy for rural areas is currently in the developmental phase.

A series of farm surveys were conducted for 30 oases farmers using a semi-structured questionnaire on aspects related to systemic typology crops practiced in Moghrar and Tiout oases in Naama region. The obtained results showed a diversification of crops grown intensively in these oases. They are characterized by the practice of mixed food crops cultivation in underlying strata, associated with family-type livestock farming. Truly, the presence of 35 different crops: date palm cultivar, 5 forage crops, 16 market gardens and 13 fruit trees has been recorded. This oasis system represents an ancestral oasis heritage built and maintained by the local population owing to a careful management of natural resources.
SEASONALITY AND RURALITY – SECOND HOMES AND TOURISM IN RURAL AREAS OF SERBIA
Authors: Terzić Aleksandra , Jovičić Vuković Ana , Petrevska Biljana
Published: December 2024

The study investigates the growing phenomenon of second homes in rural Serbia and its implications for tourism development. By analyzing the geographical distribution of second homes and their relationship to the territorial capital, the study contributes to the understanding of rural tourism dynamics. The research identifies regions with high concentrations of second homes, often overlapping with attractive natural areas and renowned tourist centers. This overlap with peak tourist seasons intensifies environmental and social pressures on already fragile rural areas. To mitigate these pressures and promote sustainable tourism development, the study advocates for region-specific policies, improved infrastructure and the implementation of sustainable tourism practices. By leveraging second homes as potential rural tourism accommodations, policymakers can support local communities, lesser the environmental disturbance and promote responsible tourism.

Authors: Nedeljković Miroslav , Papović Zoran , Krstić Svetozar
Published: December 2024

The purpose of the paper is to show, through the selection of given criteria, which of them has the greatest impact on food losses in an agricultural-food company. For this purpose, an innovative expert method of multi-criteria decision-making, SiWeC (Simple Weight Calculation), and its fuzzy variant, was applied. The results show that the criteria “poor handling of products during transport” and “inadequate packaging and handling of products” have the greatest impact. Considering the already existing plan of the company to train this part of the work processes, the expert assessment confirms the results of the research. Also, the successful use of this method with the application of fuzzy logic was confirmed, and future research should be directed towards the development of new ways of researching the influence of individual factors on the entire process of supplying food to end consumers.

Integration of Ukraine into the EU and the problems of self-identification of Ukrainian refugees
Authors: Podshyvalkina Valentyna
Published: December 2024

The section discusses the types of strategies for refugees' stay in the country of temporary resettlement and substantiates the phenomenon of transitivity of Ukrainian refugees' identities. The study used individual and group interviews. Twenty-four women aged 30 to 60 years took part in two stages of the study. The principles and methods of the so-called "grounded theory" were used to analyze the data. We identified and described four strategies for choosing a place of temporary resettlement: rational choice taking into account circumstances and opportunities, random or intuitive choice, largely rational choice, but under the influence of random factors, and largely random, intuitive choice, but with rational consideration of individual factors. We also identified two main categories of migrant identities - Ukrainian citizenship and gender identity. In addition, we described two groups of criteria for the personal self-categorization of refugees: resource criteria, such as material opportunities, linguistic and legal competence, and personal criteria, such as activity, independence and emotionality. We also considered the resource-personal basis of the transit self-categorization of Ukrainian refugees. Future research may provide a broader sample of the influence of social and autobiographical context on attitudes towards temporary resettlement to another country, as well as the direction and intensity of attitudes towards the integration of Ukrainian refugees into Latvian society.
Strengthening community resilience
Authors: Spataru Tatiana
Published: December 2024

The content of the article focuses on elucidating the objectives related to strengthening resilience in managing community risks. The emerging development of the concept of resilience is a response to the increasingly common and severe disturbances that occur as a result of climatic changes, the diminution of natural resources, biodiversity disappearance, pandemic, security crises, etc. The modern world is becoming more and interdependent, and the complexity of the challenges requires interdisciplinary and scientifically argued solutions. Communities are not always ready to manage the risks, reacting fragmentary to threats. Community risk management practices must evolve towards strengthening resilience strategies. The theoretical approach is argued by the empirical data, obtained from the accomplishment of the sociological research in April 2024, in the territorial-administrative units of the Republic of Moldova. The application of focus groups and in-depth interviews has outlined the dimensions of resilience perception by managers in managing community risks. Based on the sociological interpretations, conclusions and recommendations were formulated.
Social representation of the war in Ukraine among Moldovans: beyond pros and cons
Authors: Negura Petru , Negura Lilian
Published: December 2024

This chapter explores the social representation of the war in Ukraine among Moldovans, drawing on social representation theory. The analysis is based on a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative data. A representative sample of the population of the Republic of Moldova (n=1,112) participated in an open-ended questionnaire survey, while a series of 17 individual interviews and two focus groups were conducted with adult women and men in Chisinau and other localities in Moldova during the fall of 2023. The most prevalent themes emerging from both the survey and interviews associate the war with tragedy, death, human suffering, fear of the conflict’s spread, and the desire for peace. Less common, yet more polarizing, were discussions around political blame for the war, with divergent views attributing responsibility to either Russia or Ukraine and the West. Another significant aspect of this social representation includes “ignorance,” reflecting the challenges of accessing objective knowledge about the events, and “suspicion,” indicating a distrust of media and institutions perceived to manipulate information about the conflict. The chapter also explores the range of arguments, emotions, and language used by participants who expressed varying perspectives on responsibility for the Ukraine conflict, whether they held Russia, Ukraine and the West, or both sides accountable.
The development of education as an important factor for social resilience
Authors: Mocanu Angela
Published: December 2024

For a long period of time, the problem of sustainable development remains a very ongoing one both globally and within each individual country. Every country looks forward to having lasting societal resilience, not rapid socioeconomic development that could have unpredictable repercussions. In order to achieve it, first of all, there is a need for a detailed conceptualization of the notion of social resilience, which would include all spheres of social-economic life. The current transformation trends can only have a resilient finality for society if reforms are made in the field of the education system. In this context, we would like to mention the high mobility of capital and labor and the high competition; accelerating the pace of development of society, which results in the need to prepare people for life in a rapidly changing society; the transition to a postindustrial information society, where intercultural interaction expands significantly. In such conditions, the education system is the main link that would help citizens to adapt to the demands of the new information society.

European security areas in the context of regional cooperation
Authors: Juc Victor , Diacon Maria
Published: December 2024

The article presents a comprehensive analysis of the approach to bilateral and multilateral cooperation in the security sector after the most recent events in the region. The way the European Union responded to the war in Ukraine on February 24, 2022 confirmed its existence as an intentional security actor. By passing ten packages of sanctions against Russia, hosting more than 4 million Ukrainian refugees and associated humanitarian aid, funding the delivery of arms to Ukraine by its member states, and responding to the energy crisis, the European Union has played its part in the Western response to the war in Europe. Regional cooperation, after the systemic transformation in Central Europe and 20 years after most of the countries in the region joined the European Union, has become one of the most important tools for them to lead international politics. It plays a subsidiary role in the pursuit of national interests to these countries' membership in the EU and NATO, which these countries consider, along with bilateral alliances with the United States, to be the cornerstones of their own security policies. From the perspective of the Republic of Moldova, accelerating the implementation of reforms, developing and strengthening institutional capacities, as well as capitalizing on partnerships and other regional cooperation instruments are essential to advance in the process of joining the European Union.

Participation of international organizations in security and peace reform
Authors: Gorbatiuc Marina
Published: December 2024

With the start of globalization and the third millennium, international peace and security have gradually lost their traditional westphalian notion and have become complicated. The nature of threats against international peace and security has also spread to political, economic, social and environmental aspects as well as military ones. The paper examines topical issues of the international organization role in maintaining peace and security: the development of the mechanism for cooperation in relation to “non-traditional” security threats, as well as issues of mandate and coordination of the international organization activities to maintain peace, security and order. In the paper we pay attention to main problems of legal regulation, threat of weapons of mass destruction, as well as humanitarian and environmental instability. The evolution of international peace and security notion and new interpretations of threats are the most manifested matters of international organizations.
The reflections of the neo-modern world on the sustainable development of current states
Authors: Parcevschii Nicolae
Published: December 2024

The neo-modern world questions the classical nation-state model, highlighting its limits in addressing the complex challenges of the 21st century. The reality of today's states is manifested by the growth of populism, nationalism and authoritarian tendencies, as a reaction to globalization, migration and inequality. Neomodernism is characterized by a rejection of the post-World War II consensus on universalism and liberal democracy. State foresight manifests itself in various forms, from anti-immigration rhetoric to trade and political restrictions. Critics warn that it can lead to social division, conflict and the erosion of human rights. There is a need to rethink the role of the state in the neomodern era, finding a balance between national sovereignty and global cooperation.
Obligatory legal assistance to people and legal entities in the Republic of Moldova at the present stage
Authors: Costachi Gheorghe , Suhov Vadim
Published: December 2024

The institution of compulsory legal assistance is a regulatory legal institution designed to ensure equality of opportunity for citizens in realizing their right to a fair trial. It was already known in Roman law, and nowadays it exists in the legal systems of most countries. In the legal system of the Republic of Moldova, the institution of compulsory legal assistance is an inter-branch institution, which as a structural entity (subinstitute) is part of a larger legal institution of state-guaranteed legal aid, created in 2007 with the adoption of the Law on state-guaranteed legal aid. In this article, the authors analyses the legal norms that together constitute the legal institution of compulsory legal assistance, identifying the structural elements of compulsory legal assistance, and characterizes each of these elements.

By reviewing empirical studies and theoretical frameworks, this paper proposes a conceptual model illustrating the relationship between logistics financing strategies and economic growth. The findings suggest that innovative financial solutions, including value innovation and working capital management, are essential for fostering an efficient logistics sector that contributes to Kenya’s economic development.
IoT Evolution: Revolutionary Developments in Recent Years
Authors: G Gowthami , Priscila Dr.S.Silvia
Published: December 2024

The term "Internet of Things," or IoT, comes from blending the words "Internet" and "things." It refers to a network made up of everyday objects like cars, appliances, and more. These items come with sensors, software, and the ability to connect to the internet, allowing them to collect and share data [1]. Recently, IoT has woven itself into various parts of our lives, from smart cities and homes to offices, businesses, and even agriculture. Now, even simple items like lights, locks, and machines are part of this growing IoT world. This shift has changed how we manage both important and routine systems, making our lives safer, easier, and more efficient [2]. In 2024, there will be 5.35 billion internet users or 66.2 percent of the world's population. With 97 million new people using the internet for the first time in 2023, the number of internet users has increased by 1.8% in the last 12 months.[3]. In this paper, we will look closely at how IoT has evolved, identify key changes that have occurred, explore their impact on IoT's growth, and discuss what these changes might mean for the future of IoT.

Protein Engineering of Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1Ab o-Endotoxin
Authors: Bayot Aileen N. , Alcantara Edwin P.
Published: December 2024

Bacillus thuringiensis Ccy1Ab 6-endotoxin is toxic to many insect pests and is one of the components of the active ingredients. of commercial Bt preparations. Cry1Ab is also expressed as a transgenic protein in many commercial genetically modified crops such as Bt corn. The development of insect resistance to Cry1Ab is a major concern to various stakeholders for obvious economic reasons. This research project was conducted to test the hypothesis that protein engineering can be employed to improve the toxicity of Cry1Ab 8-endotoxin to the diamondback moth Piute/la xylostella L., a major insect pest of crucifers.
Loop 2 domain II of Cry1Ab 8-endotoxin was targeted for site-directed mutagenesis because it is involved in receptor binding. Site-directed mutations were introduced in loop 2 of domain II of Cry1Ab 8-endotoxin. Mutations were verified by DNA sequencing. The mutant proteins were purified and assayed for toxicity to 3-day old P. xylostella larvae. Leaf dip assays were conducted using cabbage leaves. Results of bioassays showed that the mutant F371P had more than 500-fold and 3000-fold increase in potency to the Benguet population of P.xylostella larvae as compared to the wild type protein, and to the commercial
preparation (Oipel), respectively.

Dil anlam ve doğruluk arasındaki ilişki yüzyıllardır çeşitli felsefe gelenekleri tarafından üzerinde derin tartışmaların ve fikir ayrılıklarının olduğu hatta devam ettiği bir mesele olagelmiştir. Tartışmanın belli başlı soruları; dil mi düşünceyi oluşturur yoksa düşünce mi dili oluşturur? Kelime ve anlam arasında bir ilişki var mıdır? Doğruluk ve yanlışlık hükmü hangi unsura göre verilmektedir? vb. şeklinde sıralanabilir. Mustafa Yeşil’in, “Fârâbî ve Quine’da Dil, Anlam ve Doğruluk İlişkisi” isimli eseri 2015 yılında aynı başlıkla tamamladığı doktora çalışmasından türetilmiştir. Yeşil, bu eserde, bahsi geçen üç kavram arasındaki ilişkiyi çok farklı zaman ve kültürlerde yaşamış olan Fârâbî (9.yy) ve Quine (20.yy) arasında dikkat çekici bir üslupla mukayese etmiş ve okuyuculara meseleye iki farklı açıdan bakma fırsatını sunmuştur. Ayrıca eserin kaynakçası hem birincil literatür hem de ikinci literatür bakımından oldukça zengin olup özellikle Fârâbî’nin Türkçe ve Arapça eserleri ile Quine’nın Türkçe ve İngilizce eserleri yazar tarafından incelenerek dil, anlam ve doğruluk arasındaki ilişki bağlamında önemli tespitler ortaya koyulmuştur.

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between ejection fraction (EF) and heart failure (HF) in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Results: After adjusting for confounding factors, it was found that the relationship between LVEF and HF was stable and consistent through different adjustment models. When LVEF was increased to >50%, the risk of heart failure was reduced by 31% compared to patients with LVEF <50%. There was a non-linear saturation effect between LVEF and HF, and the incidence of HF was gradually increased with the decrease of LVEF. On the left side of inflection 55%, LVEF was negatively correlated with HF, but the correlation was not statistically significant on the right side of inflection 55%. Conclusion: In patients with MI after PCI, LVEF and HF showed a non-linear relationship. When LVEF was less than 55%, LVEF was negatively correlated with HF, and the risk of HF occurrence was increased with the decrease of LVEF. Therefore, LVEF can be used as a major index to predict HF after PCI.
