The philosophy of L.P. Karsavin and the mystical teachings of Kabbalah
Authors:   Saint Petersburg State University, Evlampiev Igor I.
Published: June 2022

The article proves that the philosophical system of L.P. Karsavin has a number of concepts borrowed from Kabbalah as a basis. Karsavin describes the relationship between God and the world in accordance with the concept of tzimtzum, according to which God limited himself in a certain sphere in order to give place to created being. Karsavin's concept of evil and his idea of Adam Kadmon as the original integral, divine state of man also have Kabbalistic origins. The article expresses the conviction that the use of Kabbalistic ideas does not contradict Karsavin's statements about the Christian nature of his philosophy. By true Christianity (Orthodoxy), he means the Gnostic teaching, which was initiated by Basilides and Valentinus. Karsavin regards the tradition of Russian religious philosophy to which he belonged as an adequate and complete philosophical expression of the indicated Gnostic teaching and as an absolute form of religiosity that can unite the true, final forms of all religions, including Kabbalah, as the final form of Judaism.
The rustle of leaves, the cooing of pigeons, the ringing of cauldrons, the murmuring of a spring: the harmony of sounds in the mantics of the Dodonian oracle
Authors:   Southern Federal University, Kazarov Sarkis
Published: June 2022

The ancient Greeks believed in various predictions. One of the most ancient oracles of Ancient Greece was the Dodonian oracle, located in Northern Greece in a remote and mountainous region called Epirus. The main symbol of Dodona was the sacred oak, with the help of which the god Zeus announced his will. The Dodona oracle can be called the oracle of sounds: the rustle of the leaves of the sacred oak, the cooing of doves nesting on its branches, the sacred cauldrons, which, in contact with each other, emitted a melodic sound, the murmur of a spring with water that possessed miraculous powers. The blows into the cauldron also symbolized protection from some kind of harmful effect. It is still not known exactly which of them were utilized for mantics, but they all created and emitted sounds that created an appropriate emotional environment and thus influenced the feelings of visitors. But it can be assumed that at different stages in the history of the Dodona oracle, various sound means were used.
How the soul moves the body: the nature of pneuma as an instrumental cause in Philoponus’ Commentary on Aristotle’s On the Soul
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy RAS, Varlamova Maria
Published: June 2022

In his commentary on Aristotle’s On the soul Philoponus claims that each part of the soul relates to its own underlying body as a form to matter. Philoponus insists, that the vegetative soul relates to a solid body, whereas the irrational soul relates to a pneumatic body. At the same time the irrational soul is the first mover for the solid body. In the paper, I consider the problem of the relationship between the irrational soul and an organic or solid body. Philoponus claims, that the irrational soul needs a pneumatic body to be the mover and entelecheia of a solid body. For this reason I describe how Philoponus understood the nature and function of pneuma and I reveal the role of pneuma as instrumental cause of bodily movement and therefore as a mediator between the irrational soul and the solid body.
On the “theology” of the inhabitants of Khirbet Qeiyafa
Authors:   Saint Petersburg State University, Tantlevskij Igor
Published: June 2022

The excavations at the site of Khirbet Qeiyafa, the results of which have been published in recent years, shed new light on the formation of Judah’s state structure and the united Kingdom of Israel under David (or perhaps even a miniempire) as a whole. The artifacts found here testify to a powerful and well-organized state structure formed during the time of King David, with all the basic attributes inherent in it, as the Bible tells us. The author of the article pays special attention to the interpretation of the name ’Išba‘al (literally “man of Ba‘al”; alternative vocalization and interpretation: ’Ašba‘al, i.e., “Ba‘al gave”), attested in one inscription written from right to left in Canaanite script on a ceramic shard from a vessel from Khirbet Qeiyafa (the turn of the 11–10th centuries BCE), in a broad theological context. The author admits that in theophoric Judahite and Israelite names attested both in the Bible and in epigraphy — including the inscription from Khirbet Qeiyafa — of the period of Judges and the united Kingdom of Israel (at least under Saul and David) the component Ba‘al, literally “Lord,” was used to refer to the God of Israel, not to a Semitic pagan deity. It also implicitly suggests that already at the dawn of Jewish history, pious people sought to avoid pronouncing the Name of God, the Tetragrammaton, “in vain”.
Language in Eschatological Perspective and the Greek Translation of Scripture in the Midrash Debarim Rabba
Authors:   Saint Petersburg State University, Gershowitz Uri
Published: June 2022

Eschatology is one of the most important themes of Talmudic literature. With all the variety of end-time concepts and the abundance of research on the subject, the connection between universal deliverance and language remains overshadowed. This article is analyzing a composition from Debarim Rabba 1:1 that expresses the idea of improvement of the human language as a sign of the future world. What will lead to this improvement? One of the possible answers: translation of the Scripture into Greek. This answer, rather unexpected for the Sages of Talmud, will be analyzed in the context of the history of the attitude towards the Greek language in the Jewish culture of Late Antiquity. An image of a river, flowing out of the Temple from Ezekiel's prophecy (ch. 47), as an improved language of the universe, will be compared with Philo of Alexandria's concept of language.
Ontology and Epistemology of Non-being in Plato's Philosophy: On Origins and Nature of Platonic Apophaticism
Authors:   Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, Bogomolov Aleksey , Svetlov Roman ,   Yaroslav-the-Wise Novgorod State University, Shmonin Dmitry ,   Saints Cyril and Methodius Institute of Post-Graduate Studies
Published: June 2022

The dialogues "Parmenides" and "Sophist" are among the most important texts of Plato, where the themes of non-existence and apophaticism are considered. In the 20th century, they received interpretations radically different from the Neoplatonic one. They are now considered mainly as texts about the boundaries of language and knowledge, rather than about that ontological objectivity, which is quite openly declared in them. The authors of this article have tried to explore whether we can find additional arguments in favor of an «ontological» interpretation of Plato's apophaticism? To what extent is Plato's negative dialectic connected with Parmenides' poem «On Nature»? And wasn't Gorgias' Treatise on Non-Being one of the sources of reflection on the topic of negativity?
The Concept of Durchbruch in Meister Eckhart
Authors:   Novosibirsk State University, Bykov Evgeny
Published: June 2022

Meister Eckhart is one of the most ambiguous and controversial late medieval thinkers. Many of the concepts in his teachings still remain under-studied and difficult for understanding. So B. McGinn (1981) and D. Caputo (1978) have paid particular attention to the concept of “breakthrough” (der Durchbruch), but even they, it seems to us, have not been able to establish fully the connection of this concept with other themes in Eckhart's teachings. The meaning of the concept itself in the context of solving one of the most important problems of late medieval theology and philosophy – the justification of mystical knowledge and its forms – remains insufficiently clarified.
“Other” in the Third Hypothesis of “Parmenides" (Prm. 158d3–6)
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Protopopova Irina
Published: June 2022

The main purpose of the paper is to comment on Prm. 158d3-6. Consideration of this passage is preceded by a brief overview of various approaches to “Parmenides”. The most important difference in the approaches is determined by the attitude of the researchers to the “subject” of the eight hypotheses. F. Cornford believes that “one” and “is” in Plato’s text are not unambiguous, therefore the “subjects” of hypotheses are different, and, consequently, the conclusions from these hypotheses, although different, are not contradictory. Cornford’s approach is productively developed by K. Sayre and R. Turnbull. The author’s interpretation of the “Parmenides” is based on the same premise of the ambiguity of “one” and “is”. Other researchers (R. Allen, S. Rickless, M. Tabak) disagree with this, insisting that the “subject” in all hypotheses is the same, so the conclusions of different hypotheses are contradictory, and the conclusion from the most extensive, the second hypothesis, is obviously absurd (Allen). Tabak’s point of view is particularly abrupt, assuming that Plato’s goal in the second part is a parody of the views of the Eleatics and Sophists, often presented with deliberately incorrect and absurd conclusions. Tabak believes that only the third hypothesis applies to the views of Plato himself. It is with that one that the second part of the paper is dealing, analyzig the sense of “other” in Prm. 158d3–6. The author consider what is the meaning of “nature other than eidos” in the context of the ideas of the “receptacle” and χώρa in the “Timaeus” (50d, 51a7–b1), and what is the “idea of the immensity” in the context of the reasoning about the one, many and immensity in the “Philebus” (16de). Another comment concerns the meaning of ἕτερόν τι ἐν ἑαυτοῖς γίγνεσθαι and compares several translations of this passage (Cornford, A. Hermann, S. Scolnicov, Sayre, Tabak). In conclusion, the author offers her own interpretation of “other” in connection with the seventh hypothesis of the “Parmenides”.
Vasily Mikhaylovich Severgin as Translator of Pliny the Elder: On the History of the Reception of Ancient Heritage in the Context of Russian Natural History in the 18th Century
Authors:   Saint Petersburg Mining University, Dorofeev Daniil
Published: June 2022

The article is devoted to the study of the reception of the ancient heritage in European culture and its importance for the development of Russian natural science in XVIII century. For this purpose the author turns to the well-known Russian scientist and teacher Vasily Mikhajlovich Severgin (1765-1826), who was the author of the first Russian translation in Russian of the encyclopedic "Natural History" (Naturalis Historia) by Roman scientist Pliny the Elder (24-79 A.D.), many years was teaching at the Mining college (modern Saint-Petersburg Mining University, which celebrates its 250th anniversary in 2023) and is the most important Russian scientist in the field of natural history. It is on the study of the importance of Pliny the Elder and the history of his interpretation and translation for the development of European and especially Russian science in the 18th century that the main attention of the author of the article is directed. The article also covers the peculiarities of science and educational institutions in Russia and Europe in the 18th century; the biography of Severgin; the specifics of ancient Greek and ancient Roman science; the concept of "natural history" and the importance of encyclopedia as a scientific genre for the culture and science of the Enlightenment.
Maximus of Tyre on Socrates’ daimonion (Or. 8–9)
Authors:   The Russian State University for the Humanities, Garadja Alexei
Published: June 2022

Ptolemy Chennus is a poorly known Roman author who wrote in Greek and lived in the late 1st — beginning of 2nd century ad. His works are enumerated in the corresponding article from the Byzantine encyclopedia Suda: a collection of Paradoxical stories, a historical drama Sphinx, and an epic entitled Anthomerus; his only extant work is the Novel History, probably another title of Ptolemy’s aforementioned paradoxographical collection, which has been preserved as an epitome in the Bibliotheca of Patriarch Photius (c. 810/820–893). By his professional pursuits, apparently initiated in his native Alexandria, Ptolemy is defined as grammaticus, i.e. classical scholar, and the classics in his time were centered primarily on Homer; the tendency to thwart this great authority is evident throughout the Novel History which is teeming with a mass of blatantly unorthodox versions of various mythological stories going back to Homer. It is this unorthodoxy that the compiler of the epitome finds attractive, though unfortunately a mere summary forestalls the possibility to savour the presumed stylistic complexity of the work, as well as to form a well-grounded judgement on how serious was its author’s attitude to the fibs he tells, or on how close these fanciful rehashes came to a deliberate parody; still, it almost seems certain that the original text was truly rich in playfulness, irony, and burgeoning imagination. The publication presents the first full Russian translation of the work, accompanied with sufficiently detailed commentary, paying special attention to Eustathius’ of Thessalonica (c. 1115–1195/6) Commentaria to Homeric poems, the only literary source where some few parallels to the wildly unconventional data provided by Ptolemy may be found.

Background Dentin degradomics are the enzymes found in dentin endogenously and are aimed at attacking organic compounds of the relevant tissue. During dentin demineralization, these enzymes could turn into the reaction phase and may step up the degradation. Thus, their connection with dentin erosion and tissue loss should be explained. Objective The aim of this review was to describe the mechanisms of dentin degradomics, their relation to dentin erosion, and recent approaches on inhibiting their action. Data sources A narrative review was performed with a literature search in the PubMed and Google Scholar electronic databases. Study selection Reference lists included full papers of any study design, published in peer-reviewed journals in English till November 2021. Data extraction Current literature indicates the term of dentin degradomics, and the mechanism of dental erosion of both enamel and dentin tissues. The inhibition of matrixmetalloproteinase (MMP) enzymes, which constitute the subgroup of dentin degradomics, was gained from the recent papers listed in the reference section. Data synthesis Biocorrosion covers more of the pathological process of the tissue loss however, most of the dentin degradomics such as MMPs are not covered by the term, biocorrosion. So, the definitions of biocorrosion and dentin degradomics were discussed in detail. Green tea, chlorhexidine and fluorides have the ability to inhibit the reaction of MMPs during dentin demineralization with a different state of mechanisms. Nowadays, other naturally-derived compounds were included in studies such as polyphenols and flavonoids. Still, more studies are necessary to clarify their mechanism of action and rates of efficiency.
Multiple tuberous xanthomas diagnosed on fine-needle aspiration cytology – Report of a rare case
Authors: Gupta Deepika , Kaushal Manju , Jain Swasti
Published: June 2022

Xanthomas are papulonodular skin lesions present in lipoprotein metabolism disorders, which result in cholesterol deposits in subcutaneous tissue, tendons, ligaments, periosteum, etc. A 28-year-old male presented with multiple soft-tissue swellings, prominently over joints. Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) from multiple sites had similar appearance with foamy histocytes and giant cells. We describe an unusual case of tendinous and tuberous xanthoma diagnosed by cytology. Acquaintance with FNA cytology findings in xanthomas can help to avoid the need of surgical biopsy, as xanthomas can regress on medical therapy alone.

Published: June 2022

Mechanically flexible single crystals of molecular materials offer potential for a multitude of new directions in advanced materials design. Before the full potential of such materials can be exploited, insight into their mechanisms of action must be better understood. Such insight can be only obtained through synergistic use of advanced experimentation and simulation. We herein report the first detailed mechanistic study of elasto-plastic flexibility in a molecular solid. An atomistic origin for this mechanical behaviour is proposed through a combination of atomic force microscopy, μ-focus synchrotron X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, ab initio simulation, and computed elastic tensors. Our findings suggest that elastic and plastic bending are intimately linked and result from extensions of the same molecular deformations. The proposed mechanism bridges the gap between contested mechanisms, suggesting its applicability as a general mechanism for elastic and plastic bending in organic molecular crystals.
Hydrogen Producing Photocatalyst at Sunscreen for Athletics in Preventing and Healing Muscle-Nerve-Skin Injuries
Authors: Sahoo Pathik
Published: June 2022

A physical injury might be a part of sports, but can be mitigated and even treated by using molecular hydrogen administrated from specially formulated sunscreen lotion. In this regard, as a photocatalyst works like a semiconductor, and can absorb a harmful UV band from sunlight, a hydrogen-producing photocatalyst can be doped in a hydrogel to administrate hydrogen and protect UV rays as sunscreen together. The job of the hydrogel, in this case, would be to absorb sweat to give water to the catalyst, which would then produce hydrogen and act as a topical gel. Using such modern materials, athletes with specific wound-prone muscles or nerves can be returned to their natural state. Because hydrogen may disperse across the body, it can aid in the treatment of a variety of disorders. Most importantly, as the hydrogen also cures wounds, inflammation or wrinkles on the skin, the photocatalyst containing hydrogel will also be very effective in treating skin damages, besides protecting the sunlight.
Asthma and Aspirin Exacerbated Respiratory Disease
Authors: Kopač Peter , Zidarn Mihaela
Published: June 2022

Aspirin exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) is a disease characterized by the triad of asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis, and respiratory reaction to cyclooxygenase 1 inhibitors. The prevalence of AERD is estimated is reported to be: 7% in patients with asthma, 15% in patients with severe asthma, 24% in patients with life-threatening asthma, 10% in patients with nasal polyposis, and 9% in patients with unspecific chronic rhinosinusitis. Aspirin and other nonsteroidal antiinflamatory drugs (NSAID) can cause hypersensitivity by different immunological mechanisms that can be classified into 5 categories: NSAID exacerbated cutaneous disease, NSAID induced urticaria or angioedema, single NSAID anaphylaxis, aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease, single NSAID induced delayed reaction. The clinical picture, pattern of cross-reactivity, disease course, and course of desensitization may also be quite different. It is important to diagnose which disease phenotype is involved. This can be determined in most cases by history. Due to distinctive symptoms, the diagnosis of AERD could often be based on reliable history. In patients with adult-onset asthma, recurrent nasal polyposis and multiple (two or more) reactions after a single NSAID or reactions after two different NSAIDs in the last 5 years the diagnosis could be based on history alone. However, in some cases, further diagnostic tests are necessary to avoid underdiagnosing or over-diagnosing the disease. Cross reactivity between NSAIDs in AERD is not associated with similarity of chemical structure, as it is in IgE mediated hypersensitivity, but it is associated with the strength of COX-1 inhibitions therefore the patient with AERD must avoid all the other drugs which are strong COX-1 inhibitors. Aspirin desensitization in AERD could be performed for two purposes: aspirin tolerance in cardiovascular indication or symptoms improvement in severe cases of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis.

Son zamanlarda İranlılar Türkiye’ye hatırı sayılır bir biçimde ilgi göstermişler ve bunların bir bölümü de bu ilgiyi konut alımıyla bir göç sürecine dönüştürmüşlerdir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye’ye konut alımıyla göç eden İranlı göçmenlerin itme-çekme ve ilişkiler ağı teorileri başta olmak üzere, göç teorileri ışığında göç etme nedenlerini analiz etmektir. Bu nedenle, göç süreçlerinde İran’ın itici faktörleri ve Türkiye’nin çekici faktörlerine odaklanılmış ve ilişkiler ağının önemi anlaşılmaya çalışılmıştır. Çalışmanın konusuna uygun olarak 22 katılımcıyla yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Katılımcılara kartopu örnekleme yöntemiyle ulaşılmış, COVID-19 salgını nedeniyle görüşme formları kendilerine dijital yollarla iletilmiştir. Yapılan görüşmeler göstermiştir ki İranlı göçmenler için İran’ın yarı açık bir toplum özelliği sergilemesi, dengesiz ekonomik koşullar sunması ve eğitim sisteminde gözlemlenen aksaklıklar birer itici faktör olarak göçü tetikleyen etmenler olmuştur. Buna karşın Türkiye’nin açık toplum olarak nitelendirilmesi, daha dengeli ekonomi, taleplere daha çok cevap veren eğitim sistemi ve medyanın yumuşak güç işlevi gibi faktörler İranlılar için çekici etmenler olmuştur.

Potential Villages (PODES) provide data on the existence, availability and development of the potential of each government administrative area. In order to make it easier for governments to make policies for a region, it is necessary to group the village and sub-districts. Cluster analysis is an analysis that aims to group objects based on the information that found in the data. One of the cluster analysis methods is the divisive analysis, which is a hierarchical grouping method with a top-down approach, where all objects are placed in one cluster and then sequentially divided into separate groups. This research aim to group villages or sub-districts in Kutai Kartanegara based on the determinants of village backwardness and obtaining the silhouette coefficient value from the optimal cluster analysis using the divisive analysis algorithm. The data used is the 2018 PODES data in Kutai Kartanegara and used 15 variables from natural and environmental factors, facilities infrastructure and access factors as well as socio-economic factors of the population. The results of the optimal cluster formed in the grouping of villages or sub-districts in Kutai Kartanegara using the divisive analysis method are 2 clusters. Cluster 1 consisting of 230 villages or sub-districts and cluster 2 consisting of 2 sub-districts. Silhouette coefficient value for data validation from clustering village or sub-districts in Kutai Kartanegara using the divisive analysis method produces 2 clusters is 0,744 which states that the cluster structure formed in this grouping is a strong structure.

However, the abuse of the Internet has becoming a concerning issue with visual consequences. Therefore, this study reviews and examines relevant International and domestic publications to provide scientific evidences and foundation for the research on the influence of Internet use behaviour upon communication Vietnamese families and provides recommendations for improving parent and children communication via proper Internet usage. Material and methods. This study is based on the synthesis and analysis of documents related to communication and the behaviour of using the Internet in Vietnamese families. Seventy-six valuable studies related to the research topic were selected to provide important qualitative and quantitative data for making an appropriate and relevant assessment, ensuring the science and reliability of the research. Results. Internet use has relationships with communication in the family—Internet influences communication in the family positively and negatively. The positive change in communication manifests in diversifying forms of communication, the flexibility and convenience of communication is also increased. Negative changes focus on the limitation of direct interaction and chat that grows the generation gap and changes communication structure. In addition, the Internet is also linked to mental health problems. Conclusions. Internet utilization closely relates to the quality and effectiveness of communication between Vietnamese family members. Internet is ordinary and necessary in the current globalization context, but using the Internet effectively, is required to understand and master it. Family members need to properly understand the needs, purpose, and ways of using the Internet and its impacts on their family communication.

Authors: MILENKOVA Valentina , NAKOVA Albena , KERANOVA Dilyana
Published: June 2022

This article focuses on the study of environmental education as important aspect of the modern society and actively engaged people. Ecological behavior and citizenship become an essential element of social activity and show the involvement of people of different ages in behavioral and intellectual commitment to nature and the protection of the world. The main thesis of the article is that the formation of skills, values and competencies for living in the community and building environmentally responsible behavior are directly related to the process of socialization of the individual and the role of education and digitalization in this process are indisputable. The analysis traces how the education contributes to gaining knowledge about natural and climate change, as well as the pro-ecological behavior of people around the ecosystems. The paper is based on empirical results from qualitative methods on the topic of environmental citizenship. Two main methods are used: document and policy analysis; this method examines the involvement of political actors with the environmental issue and especially of the Ministry of Education in a national context. The other methods used are also qualitative: interviews (19) with educational experts and students, as well as focus groups (3) with students from different universities. The methods used are aimed at showing the state of the environmental topic in education and digitalization. The main conclusion is the explication of environmental responsibility and behavior through the prism of the educational institution as a key actor of educational and training approaches to improve the interaction between people and the environment. Keywords: digitization; environmental education; digitization of education; environmental citizenship.
OUTDOOR EDUCATION: OBSTACLES AND PERSPECTIVES FOR PRACTICING OUTDOOR LEARNING IN ROMANIA
Authors: RAIU Sergiu-Lucian , MÎNDRUȚ Oana
Published: June 2022

Objectives. Although in recent years more and more scientific studies demonstrate the benefits of outdoor educational activities on the harmonious development of children, in Romania outdoor education is not practiced enough and even is less promoted. The aim of this study was, on the one hand to see to what extent and in what form teachers currently practice outdoor educational activities, and, on the other hand to study the expectations of students, teachers and parents to carry out more outdoor educational activities. Methods and sample. The research was carried out as a foreplay to a national campaign to promote outdoor education, initiated by three Romanian non-governmental organizations that encourage outdoor education and carry out educational activities outside. It was carried out in the pandemic period of the Coronavirus, therefore three online questionnaires were addressed to students, teachers and parents of students. A sample of 3770 questionnaires were completed by students in mainstream schools (from the 3nd to 12th grade), 1907 questionnaires completed by teachers, and 3644 questionnaires completed by parents. Results. In an overwhelming proportion, 94% of students and 95.5% of parents would like some of their school activities to take place outdoor, while only 2.1% of students said that they currently carry out educational activities in the open air. Conclusions. Half of the students (56.6%) wish for more than 3 hours of outdoor educational activities per week. In average, teachers would like to spend outdoors with students between 10-30 hours of teaching activity per year, and 44.7% of parents would like more than 60 teaching hours per year to take place outdoors. In Romania, several more studies are needed to show the importance and the educational value of outdoor educational activities and outdoor play for the holistic development of children.

The use of technology in education has been an ongoing debate among educators. Although educators are highly encouraged to integrate technology in the classroom, they are still sceptical to fully utilize them. This changed drastically during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 which forced educators and learners to rely heavily on the use of technology to support learning. This paper identifies teachers' technology usage in the classroom, their perceptions on the use of technology in the classroom and the challenges of integrating technology in teaching and learning. We employed a quantitative research approach with survey design and non-probability snowball sampling. To collect the data, a questionnaire was distributed to 78 primary and secondary school teachers. We found that teachers in that particular area mostly used smart phones to access internet and conduct lessons due to the limited availability of devices from the students’ end, internet connectivity, and limited instructional time. Despite the challenges presented, they believed the importance of technology in education, and it helped enhance students' digital competence and responsible use. This research, thus, present an insight to the educational authorities in Malaysia of the general perceptions of teachers on the technology used during the pandemic and in turn, will increase digital access and awareness for a better quality of technology integration in teaching and learning.

This study was carried out to assess how academic dishonesty in Nigerian universities influences university graduates’ quality and how these graduates contribute to national development for global competitiveness. The study area is Nigerian universities (private, state, and federal owned). The inferential survey research design was adopted for this study. A sample of 18 universities (12%) out of the 154 universities in Nigeria was selected, 6 each from among private, state, and federal-owned universities, 3 from each geopolitical zone of the country. From these universities, 1440 respondents (academic staff and students) were selected as sample. Two sets of structured questionnaires (open- and closed-ended) were administered to the respondents between February 2019 and October 2019. Simple percentage, Pearson product-moment correlation analysis, and chi square analysis were used for data analysis. Respondents listed 14 causes of academic dishonesty. A significant correlation was found between academic dishonesty and poor graduate quality from Nigerian universities. In addition, the chi square analysis showed a significant relationship between university academic dishonesty, graduate quality, and contribution to national development for global competitiveness. It was concluded that universities where academic dishonesty is perpetrated usually produce low-quality graduates who at best may contribute little to national development for global competitiveness. One of the recommendations is that the government should overhaul the curriculum content of the Nigerian educational system to meet the development challenges of the Nigerian state, while also improving funding for Nigerian public universities.

Children with disabilities indeed are encouraged to have equal status in education with the normal ones. However, some domains may face particular challenges. Our article explores the insights of current inclusive education in eastern Aceh – Kabupaten Aceh Timur, Kabupaten Aceh Tamiang, and Kota Langsa – by discovering the views of 104 participants (students, teachers, principals, and officials of educational departments) on inclusive education. By applying a qualitative approach, we integrated a descriptive method through the distribution of questionnaires and interviews. Further, we analyzed the data in data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing stages. All students – both regular and disabled - had no problems sharing the same classroom, including the teachers and other school facilities, although some disabled thought that their school should have specific needs for them. Meanwhile, the officials had no strong power to support the development of inclusive education, while several schools may model inclusivity based on their school policy. Maximizing existing special education teachers, socializing the disabled’ needs to earn the rights for education within communities, and establishing special education centers at the university level, may contribute to the lack of inclusive education development in those regions.

Regent Regulation Number 39 of 2017 concerning Procedures for Distribution and Determination of Details of Gampong Funds is prioritized for community development and empowerment. This study aims to describe the implementation of the Aceh Utara Regent's Regulation and analyze the supporting and inhibiting factors in the implementation of the Aceh Utara Regent's Regulation. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive analysis approach. The results showed that all gampongs in Syamtalira Bayu sub-district had finished compiling the Village Fund Policy Plan (Qanun APBG) for the current year and reported the realization of the use of the Gampong Fund for the fiscal year; All Village Fund Policy Activities that have been determined (Qanun APBG) have been completed, although there are still villages that are late in completing them; All Gampong Funds have been completed, although reporting is still ongoing. factors that support and hinder the implementation of the bupati's policies include; communication, resources, attitude of implementers, objectives, environment, as well as steps and company policies. Solving this research problem is done by combining the theory of public policy implementation models from Grindle, Van Meter, and Van Horn, as well as the theory of Edward III.

Factor analysis is a multivariate statistical method that tries to explain the relationship between a number of independent variables by grouping these variables into factors. With this grouping, the existing variables will be easier to interpret. In increasing the power of factor interpretation, a matrix loading factor transformation must be performed. The transformation can be done by choosing the method that is in orthogonal rotation, the varimax or quartimax or equamax method. In order to find out which rotation techniques is the most appropriate, the minimum square distance values () generated from the procrustes method used. In this study three data were used from the results of the questionnaire, for data I obtain the value of the minimum distance squared with a varimax rotation that is  with ; for data II obtain the value of the minimum distance squared with a quartimax rotation that is  with ; for data III obtain the value of the minimum distance squared with a varimax rotation that is  with .

EKSİLTİ BAĞLAMINDA AZERBAYCAN TÜRKÇESİNDE ELLİPTİK CÜMLELER
Authors: ALIŞOVA DEMİRDAĞ Elza
Published: June 2022

Eksilti, yazılı ve sözlü anlatımda bazı dil birimlerini, yine o dilin kuralları çerçevesinde derin yapıda bırakan bir dil olayıdır. Yazarken veya konuşurken konuşmaya canlılık katmak, akıcılık sağlamak, tekrardan kaçınmak, tasarruf etmek, vurgu yapmak vb. gibi nedenlerden dolayı dilde çeşitli eksiltiler yapılır. Hafz, eksiltim, eksilti, eksiltili anlatım, düşüm, düşürme, kısaltma, sıfır tekrar, elips vb. gibi çeşitli terimlerle adlandırılan eksilti, Türkiye Türkçesinde ses bilgisi, şekil bilgisi, söz dizimi konusunda karşımıza çıkar ve sesten cümleye kadar geniş bir alanda inceleme konusu sağlar. Bu çalışmada Azerbaycan Türkçesinde cümlede eksilti konusu ele alınacaktır. Azerbaycan Türkçesinde elliptik cümle olarak isimlendirilen bu dil olayı, “ellipse benzer, ellips şeklinde, cümlede kolaylıkla anlaşılan kelimenin düşürülmesine bağlı” şeklinde açıklanmaktadır. Bağımsız kullanılabilen yarımcık cümle statülü elliptik cümleler, konuşana az kelime kullanarak birçok düşünceyi açıklama imkânı sağlayan cümle türüdür. Yarımcık, yarım cümlelerin içerisinde incelenen elliptik cümleler, yazılı ve sözlü anlatımda yüklemin düşürülmesidir. Yüklemin düşürülmesi iki şekilde karşımıza çıkar: 1. Metne bağlı düşürülme, 2. Elliptik düşürülme. Metne bağlı düşürülmede yüklemin eksiltilmesi metne bağlıdır ve tekrardan kaçmak için düşürülür. Bu tür cümlelerde düşürülmüş, yani eksiltilmiş yüklemi metnin önceki cümlelerine göre yerine koymak mümkündür. Yüklemi düşürülen yarımcık cümlelerin diğer çeşidi ise elliptik cümlelerdir. Elliptik cümlelerde düşürülen yüklem, metne göre değil cümlenin kendi ögelerine ve anlamına göre belirlenir. Bu bağlamda metne bağlı düşürülmede metnin dışında kullanım söz konusu olmazken elliptik cümleler bağımsız olarak kullanılmaktadır.
