Freeing Up the Mind
Authors: Corballis Michael
Published: April 2022

Psychology has generally had a rather stunted view of the mind. In the behaviorist era it essentially denied the existence of mind altogether, and even the cognitive revolution seemed to promote a rigid view of the mind as tied to specific inputs. This began to change when Endel Tulving proposed episodic memory as the conscious replaying of past events-a conception that was later broadened into the more general concept of mental time travel: the ability to travel mentally backward and forward in time, a basic component of imagination. The two books under review, both informed by evolutionary science, illustrate involvement of the humanities in further expanding our understanding of the imagination- the mental capacity that enables us to transcend time and space, voyage into fantasy, and cultivate the creative arts. The historian Felipe Fernández-Armesto goes so far as to suggest that human imagination expanded at the expense of memory, and was even the basis of language. The volume edited by Carroll, Clasen, and Jonsson, all literary scholars, takes us on a wider tour of the fruits of imagination-religion, music, the arts, literature. These books may help place human creativity and imagination in an evolutionary context, and enlarge our understanding of evolution itself. They may also help overcome poststructuralist attitudes that threaten the integrity of the humanities themselves.

Objective.

To establish whether there was any difference in disease stage in patients with screening-detected colorectal cancer (CRC) in a Caribbean country.

Methods.

The mode of presentation (elective vs. emergent), method of diagnosis (screening vs. symptomatic), and disease stage were retrospectively compared in all consecutive patients who had resections for CRC over a five-year period. Early CRC was defined as disease that could be completely resected with no involvement of adjacent organs, lymph nodes, or distant sites. Locally advanced CRC was disease that involved contiguous organs without distant metastases that was still amenable to curative resection.

Results.

There were 97 patients at a mean age of 64.9 ± 12.2 years treated for CRC, and only 21 (21.6%) had their diagnoses made through screening. Significantly more screening-detected lesions were early-stage CRCs (21.7% vs. 9.3%; p < 0.001). At the time of diagnosis, patients who did not have screening-detected lesions had a greater proportion of locally advanced (42.3% vs. 0) and metastatic (26.8% vs. 0) CRC. Those who did not have screening-detected lesions had a greater incidence of emergency presentations at diagnosis (26.8% vs. 0).

Conclusions.

The incidence of screening-detected CRC in this Caribbean nation was low. Consequently, most patients presented with locally advanced or metastatic CRC, for which there is less opportunity to achieve a cure. Significantly more screening-detected lesions were early-stage CRCs. It is time for policymakers to develop a national CRC screening program.
Women Empowerment Policy-2017 of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan; Formation, Annual Funds Allocation, and Implementation Gap Analysis
Authors: Gul Shabana , Iqbal Javed , Javed Adnan
Published: April 2022

Purpose: The government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) launched Women Empowerment Policy (WEP) in 2017, the policy was based on the Women Empowerment Policy Framework (WEP-Framework) of 2014. Several policy interventions were planned to be achieved during the five-year implementation of WEP-2017.

Approach: This study aimed to analyze WEP-2017 from three distinct perspectives: 1) the formation of WEP-2017 as a strategic policy document focusing on the analysis of the identified key performing areas, the designed objectives, and the planned interventions/activities, 2) the linkage of WEP-2017 as a policy document with the annual fund's allocation of the govt. through annual development on gender mainstreaming interventions and 3) the implementation gap analysis of WEP-2017 by reviewing and comparing the post-2017 sectoral strategies of Agriculture, Education, Health, and Industry sectors with that of WEP-2017.

Findings: The study concluded that WEP-2017 objectives are non-quantifiable and specific, similarly no linkage between govt. funds allocation with WEP-2017 schemes was determined.

Value: The mentioned factors along with lack of advocacy and awareness within the govt. departments led to the non-achievement of the intended objectives of WEP-2017.
A Fourier Series Approximation for Deep-water Waves
Authors: Shin JangRyong
Published: April 2022

Dean (1965) proposed the use of the root mean square error (RMSE) in the dynamic free surface boundary condition (DFSBC) and kinematic free-surface boundary condition (KFSBC) as an error evaluation criterion for wave theories. There are well known wave theories with RMSE more than 1%, such as Airy theory, Stokes theory, Dean’s stream function theory, Fenton’s theory, and trochodial theory for deep-water waves. However, none of them can be applied for deep-water breaking waves. The purpose of this study is to provide a closed-form solution for deep-water waves with RMSE less than 1% even for breaking waves. This study is based on a previous study (Shin, 2016), and all flow fields were simplified for deep-water waves. For a closed-form solution, all Fourier series coefficients and all related parameters are presented with Newton’s polynomials, which were determined by curve fitting data (Shin, 2016). For verification, a wave in Miche’s limit was calculated, and, the profiles, velocities, and the accelerations were compared with those of 5th-order Stokes theory. The results give greater velocities and acceleration than 5th-order Stokes theory, and the wavelength depends on the wave height. The results satisfy the Laplace equation, bottom boundary condition (BBC), and KFSBC, while Stokes theory satisfies only the Laplace equation and BBC. RMSE in DFSBC less than 7.25×10-2% was obtained. The series order of the proposed method is three, but the series order of 5th-order Stokes theory is five. Nevertheless, this study provides less RMSE than 5th-order Stokes theory. As a result, the method is suitable for offshore structural design.
Investigation Optical Properties of the Orthorhombic System CsSnBr3-xIx: Application for Solar Cells and Optoelectronic Devices
Authors: Davlatshoevich Nematov Dilshod
Published: April 2022

In this work, to study the optical properties of orthorhombic perovskites of the CsSnBr3-xIx system, spin-orbital and spin-polarized quantum chemical calculations were carried out in the framework of the density functional theory. The effects of electron exchange correlation were taken into account by the modified Becke-Jones exchange-correlation potential (mBJ). It has been established that with an increase in the iodine concentration, the absorption capacity and photoconductivity of these semiconductors increase. Other optical properties were also calculated, such as the real and imaginary parts of the dielectric function, refractive indices, energy loss spectrum, extinction coefficients, and reflection coefficients. The high absorption of these compounds in the infrared, visible and ultraviolet energy ranges allows the use of these perovskites in optical and optoelectronic devices operating in all spectral ranges by controlling and changing their content. Doi: 10.28991/HEF-2021-02-04-08 Full Text: PDF
Optimization and Process Modeling of Viscosity of Oil Based Drilling Muds
Authors: Obinna Azinta Cyprian , Mbah Gordian O. , Onoh Maxwell I.
Published: April 2022

The viscosity of oil-based drilling mud was optimized and modeled in this study. Imported bentonite and local clay additives, and diesel oil (base fluid) were used to prepare two muds; oil-based mud with bentonite (OBMB) and oil-based mud with clay (OBMC). The local clay was beneficiated with hydrochloric acid (HCl) and then characterized using an x-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer. The result of the characterization revealed that the local clay is more silica (SiO2) than kaolin. The interactive effects of three operating conditions, temperature, aging time, and bentonite/clay dosage, respectively, on the viscosity of each mud were determined. The Response surface methodology (RSM) of the central composite design tool of Design Expert software (version 12) was employed to optimize the viscosity of each mud. The RSM carried out revealed the interaction between the three operating variables of temperature, time, and dosage of bentonite/clay and their impact on the viscosity of each mud. Optimum viscosity of 19.3 cP for OBMB and 25.9 for OBMC were obtained at temperature of 313K, aging time of 30 minutes and bentonite/clay dosage of 9 wt%. Analysis of variants (ANOVA), mathematical modeling, and graphical plots further established the actual interaction between the response-viscosity of each mud and the considered process factors. The generated models revealed linear, interactive, and quadratic equations which adequately described the relationship between the viscosity of each mud and the considered factors of temperature, time, and dosage. The experimental data and the predicted results were compared, and the model predicted values are in good agreement with the experimental results. Doi: 10.28991/HEF-2021-02-04-09 Full Text: PDF
MARAŞ SANCAĞI’NDA YABANCI OKULLAR (1862-1908)
Authors: ŞAHİN Harun
Published: April 2022

Bu çalışmanın amacı 19. yüzyılın sonu ve 20. yüzyılın başlarında Maraş Sancağı’nda faaliyet gösteren yabancı misyonerlere ait eğitim kurumlarının durumunu ve gelişimini Osmanlı arşiv belgeleri ve salnamelerden yararlanarak ortaya koymaktır. Bu konu çerçevesinde Maraş Sancağı’nda kurulmuş yabancı okulların durumu yeni kaynaklar ışığında tespit edilip analizler yapılmıştır.
19. yüzyılın sonlarında Maraş Sancağı’nda farklı dinlere mensup topluluklar bir arada yaşamaktaydı. Sancaktaki gayrimüslim nüfusun önemli bir bölümü Maraş kaza merkezinde yaşıyordu. Maraş şehir nüfusunun takriben % 20’sini gayrimüslim nüfus oluşturuyordu. Gayrimüslim topluluklar içinde en kalabalık grubu Ermeni cemaatleri oluşturuyordu. Yabancı devletlerin himaye politikasına uyun olarak yabancı ve azınlık okullar genelde Ermeni nüfusun yoğun olduğu yerlerde kurulmuştu. Bu sebeple bu okullardan eğitim alanların çoğunu Ermeni çocukları oluşturuyordu.
20. yüzyılın başlarına gelindiğinde Maraş Sancağı’nda Fransa, Amerika, Birleşik Krallık ve Almanya’nın himayesinde çeşitli derecelerde çok sayıda okul açılmıştı. Bu okullar büyük ölçüde Ermeni cemaatlerin kontrolündeydi. Maraş Sancağı’nda yabancıların kurduğu okullar gayrimüslim azınlıkların kurduğu okullardan sayıca daha azdı. Yabancı okullar ve yetimhaneler Maraş kaza merkezi ile kazaya bağlı nahiye ve köylerde kurulmuştu. Misyonerlerce açılan yetimhanelerde de mesleki eğitimler verilmekteydi. Yabancı okullar himayesi altında oldukları devletler ve misyoner örgütler tarafından finanse edilmekteydi. Devletten ruhsat almadan kurulan ve faaliyete geçirilen yabancı okulların teftiş ve denetimleri uzun bir süre yapılamamıştı.

Published: April 2022

Proses pendinginan merupakan salah satu proses penanganan hasil tangkapan yang sangat dibutuhkan oleh nelayan dalam mempertahankan mutu hasil tangkapan. Proses pendinginan atau pembekuan yang selama ini dilakukan oleh sebagian besar nelayan masih menggunakan es dan masih sangat bergantung kepada ketersediaan es. Pada beberapa kapal penangkap ikan sudah menerapkan teknologi refrigerasi, namun energi listrik yang dibutuhkan kebanyakan masih disuplai dari penggunaan motor bakar yang kurang ramah lingkungan. Hal tersebut memunculkan ide untuk mencari alternatif sumber energi agar didapatkan sebagian solusi dari masalah tersebut. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah: (1) mengetahui kecepatan angin minimal yang dibutuhkan untuk mengisi energi listrik ke sistem penyimpanan; (2) mengetahui lama waktu yang dibutuhkan untuk melakukan pengisian daya ke sistem penyimpanan sampai penuh; dan (3) mengetahui waktu yang digunakan untuk menghabiskan energi yang tersimpan dan suhu yang dicapai. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kecepatan angin minimal yang dibutuhkan untuk memutarkan turbin angin yaitu sebesar 16,2 km/jam dan menghasilkan kecepatan putaran turbin sebesar 41,2 rpm. Waktu yang dibutuhkan untuk mengisi akumulator 45 Ah sampai penuh dengan kecepatan angin rata-rata 17,5 km/jam, kecepatan putaran turbin rata-rata 53,6 rpm dan arus listrik rata-rata yang dihasilkan 2,4 ampere adalah 18 jam 45 menit. Waktu yang dibutuhkan untuk menurunkan tegangan akumulator menjadi 6 volt adalah 2 jam 1 menit 59 detik dan menghasilkan suhu sebesar 3,5 °C. Hasil uji coba menunjukkan bahwa angin dapat digunakan sebagai sumber energi alternatif pada mesin pendingin skala kecil yang dirancang.

A nincstelenség konceptualizálása: elméleti megközelítés és gyakorlati relevancia
Authors: Temesváry Zsolt , Roduit Sabrina , Drilling Matthias
Published: April 2022

Jelen tanulmány a nincstelenség (destitution)2 újszerű és kifejező társadalomelméleti fogalmát vizsgálja. A nincstelenség tágabb koncepciója alkalmas az esszenciális szegénység és a szélsőséges társadalmi kirekesztés ábrázolására. A nincstelenség újszerű társadalomtudományi megközelítése kihívást jelent a korábbi neoliberális, jövedelem-alapú szegénység vizsgálatokkal szemben, mivel a szegénységet a lakáspiac, a foglalkoztatás, a családi kapcsolatok és az egészség terén megjelenő deprivációk többrétegű kapcsolatrendszerén keresztül mutatja be és nem csupán a materiális tényezőkre összpontosít. Noha a nincstelenség az egyén szintjén megjelenő biológiai és pszichológiai deprivációk mentén is tanulmányozható, írásunk elsősorban a fogalom strukturális, szociálpolitikai dimenziójával foglalkozik és mindenekelőtt két területre összpontosít: a hajléktalan személyek és a papírok nélküli migránsok szociális jogaira és jogosultságaira. A nincstelenség fogalma számos szociológiai, filozófiai, közgazdaságtani és politikai tényezőt foglal magában. Jelen írásunkban a szociális munka és a szociálpolitika elmélete és gyakorlata mentén vizsgáljuk a jelenséget.
Diálogo e sinodalidade na ação missionária da Igreja
Authors: Wolff Elias
Published: April 2022

O mundo é cada vez mais plural nos âmbitos cultural e religioso, exigindo que a Igreja desenvolva de forma convicta a perspectiva dialogal da missão. E, como esta é uma tarefa de toda a comunidade eclesial, urge também que a Igreja viva um verdadeiro processo sinodal no modo de refletir e decidir os projetos de missão. Isso tem implicações para a Igreja em dois âmbitos: ad extra, identificar interlocutores do Evangelho, dentre os quais destacam-se as culturas, as igrejas e as religiões; ad intra, retomar processos conciliares, como a eclesiologia do Povo de Deus, o sacerdócio comum dos fiéis, a pastoral de conjunto. O Sínodo para a Amazônia foi um importante esforço nessa direção, vinculando a afirmação da fé em Cristo com práticas de afirmação da justiça socioambiental que expressam a “vida em abundância” (Jo 10,10), para o ser humano e toda a criação. Nessa direção, a Igreja é chamada a exercitar a “cultura do diálogo” e a “conversão sinodal” como pilares de sua prática evangelizadora em nossos tempos.
Pássaros nos Salmos
Authors: Grenzer Matthias , Barros Paulo Freitas , Dantas José Ancelmo Santos
Published: April 2022

O livro bíblico dos Salmos, em sua reflexão sobre o ser humano e Deus, promove uma espiritualidade que integra o olhar para os seres abióticos (água, terra, ar, calor), os animais e os vegetais. Um exemplo disso é a presença dos pássaros. Após o estudo do vocabulário hebraico ligado à avifauna, a investigação apresentada aqui visa o que, nos Salmos, ocorre de reflexão sobre os animais em questão. No caso, os pássaros são descritos como quem, em determinado momento, escapa de um perigo, aninha-se para procriar, alimenta-se ou torna-se alimento, é solitário, abriga-se debaixo de asas protetoras e solta a voz para louvar a Deus. Ao estudar, de forma pormenorizada, a sensibilidade dos Salmos a tais características dos pássaros, torna-se possível descobrir a proposta ecoespiritual feita por essas orações bíblicas. Assim, o convite bíblico a contemplar a avifauna pode ajudar o ser humano a tornar-se mais esperançoso em relação à sua própria existência e sobrevivência.

Published: April 2022

Introduction: PPIUCD is an emerging contraceptive method for women which is easily available, safe, efficient, long acting, reversible and available just after birth of baby. Aims and Objectives To study the efficacy of postplacental IUCD insertion in vaginal and cesarean delivaries. Comparative evaluation of postplacental IUCD in vaginal and cesarean insertion in terms of counseling and complications. Material and Method: This study was conducted at Department of Obsterics S& Gynecology ,SMS Medical College,Jaipur .Total 150 Vaginal and Cesarean Deliveries were included in this study.Women counseled for PPIUCD during antepartum, intrapartum or during preparation of cesarean section for post placental IUCD insertion in cesarean delivery or vaginal delivery and followed for any complication. Observation: In our study it was observed that the proportion of parturient accepting post placental IUCD on counseling was 27.98% in vaginal delivery and 36.95% in cesarean delivery. Excessive bleeding through os was seen in 6 to 8% of cases, missing tail was seen in 38.7% of cases in group B and 8.7% of cases in group A had expulsion of IUCD. There was higher acceptance of post placental IUCD with better follow up, with no expulsion and higher continuation rate in cesarean delivery in comparison to vaginal delivery. Conclusion: To conclude post placental IUCD is an effective, reversible method of contraception.specially in area where the situation is of limited access to post-partum care and inability of women to return back for contraceptive measures.
The Nigerian State and Development in the Niger Delta Region
Authors: Sampson Chimene Obiam  , Okechukwu S. Amadi
Published: April 2022

The paper examined the Nigerian state and development in the Niger Delta region. The Niger Delta region of Nigeria exemplifies the contrast between enormous wealth and severe underdevelopment. The Nigerian government has made several attempts to stimulate development in the region by establishing special development agencies. However, none of the special development agencies established have been successful in improving the living conditions of the people of the Niger Delta. As a result, the purpose of this paper is to investigate some of the challenges confronting the Niger Delta region, as well as the Nigerian government's responses to them in order to achieve development. The Marxian Political Economy (MPE) theory was used as the theoretical framework of analysis. The paper relied on secondary sources of data collection. It was discovered that the Niger Delta region faces unemployment and poverty, as well as a lack of quality education and healthcare, as well as water and transportation issues. Furthermore, the several specific development agencies established by the Nigerian government to address these issues are failing to change the narrative, as the people of the region remain impoverished. As a result, the paper recommended a change in the mentality on the part of the Nigerian government, of those who supervise the activities of the NDDC and the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs, as a way forward to assure speedy development of the Niger Delta region.
Successful application of Yoga Prana Vidya Protocols to normalize Kidney function: A case study of stage 2 kidney disease
Authors: Hari Bhuvaneshwari  , Venkata Satyanarayana Nanduri
Published: April 2022

Introduction: kidneys filter blood by removing waste and extra water to make urine. The kidney's filtration rate, called the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), shows how well the kidneys are filtering. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is known to be the 6th fastest growing cause of death globally. Early detection of CKD can help to protect kidney function. This paper presents a case of Stage 2 Kidney disease treated successfully by the application of Yoga Prana Vidya healing protocols. Method: This study uses case study method, analysing patient medical records and YPV protocols used in treating the patient for 6 months. Patient feedback also obtained for analysis. Results: Improvements in the main parameters achieved at the end of 6 months of YPV intervention show that eGFR improved from 79 to 95. Total Cholesterol improved from 235 mg/dl to 165 mg/dl. HDL Cholesterol increased from 32 mg/dl to 47 mg/dl and LDL Cholesterol reduced from 150 mg/dl to 94 mg/dl. Patient achieved peace and satisfaction of YPV treatment that worked for normalizing his kidney condition. Conclusion: Using the YPV intervention for this patient, only YPV healing was given and no other form of therapy or treatment was given for stage 2 kidney ailment, which shows that YPV Healing System can be applied not only as complementary treatment but also as an alternative treatment mode in such cases of diseases. Further research may be conducted with wider applications of YPV Healing system to various other kidney ailments.

The article discusses the problems of translation and linguacultural adaptation of the anglophone literature of the Māori Renaissance. Most of the works of this era have not yet been translated into Russian, and this study is the first step towards doing so. The aim of this work is therefore to choose a strategy that would allow not only to carry out an adequate translation, but also to preserve all the linguistic and cultural particularities of the indigenous Māori people, that are reflected in the anglophone works of the postcolonial period. To that end, the phenomenon of the Māori Renaissance is examined from the point of view of postcolonial theory, and the work of the most prominent New Zealand authors of this era is analyzed. Then, the author examines Māori lexical borrowings that are found in New Zealand English and lists the main classes of such borrowings. Following that is an analysis of two translation strategies outlined by Lawrence Venuti. Based on the analysis, the foreignization strategy seems to be the most convenient for translating the works of Māori authors. The author carries out a phonological analysis of the Māori language and develops a system of Māori-Russian practical transcription, which is essential for linguacultural adaptation. The strategy of translation of the literature of Māori Renaissance developed in this article allows to expand its audience and, therefore, contribute to the preservation of the Māori linguacultural heritage.

The paper focuses on some issues of representative translation of legal texts from English into Russian at the text level. One of the most topical issues of legal translation is system-bound terms and their proper representative translation, which is quite significant for English–Russian translation due to differences in the legal systems. In order to ensure representative translation, the author proposes to use translation commentary, which is widely used in literary translation but rarely while working with technical texts. Main functions and classifications of such commentary are described. Legal translation is to be provided with the commentary which focuses on linguistic as well as cultural differences.

The article examines the functional and stylistic potential of semantic calquing in the literary embodiment of the dialogue of cultures. Traditionally, calque is interpreted as a type of borrowing or a way of translation, but in the process of analyzing literary text, calque is seen as a tool that allows a writer, using the means of one language, to reflect the consciousness of a native speaker of another language. Specific cases of the use of Chinese semantic calques in Boris Yulsky’s stories are identified and analyzed. The conclusions are made about their literary functions: Chinese semantic calques allow the writer to reflect important features of Chinese picture of the world and national communicative behavior, create authentic images of Chinese characters, immerse Russian reader into the atmosphere of Chinese culture.

Published: April 2022

Text linguistics is quite a new academic discipline, which developed at the turn of the 21 century. At first the object of its study was larger texts – novels, novelettes, and short stories. Short type texts have only recently become the object of study of text linguistics. One of them is jokes, which were previously studied as a type of comic texts. Later, attention of researchers was drawn to their cultural conditioning and the means of explication of their cultural component. It was a result of understanding that all texts are culturally conditioned. Then it was to be expected that typical characters in different cultural communities are to be different. Quite unexpectedly, though, the character of a dumb blonde is used in many different cultures. The research below is dedicated to the analysis of this character in German jokes. The author also falls back on the studies of this stereotype in other cultures in order to find out the time and roots of its origin.
Tâhir b. Âşûr’un et-Tahrîr ve’t-Tenvîr İsimli Tefsirinde Klasik İsrâiliyata Yaklaşımlar
Authors: YILDIZ Mustafa
Published: April 2022

Genel anlamda “yabancı menşeli rivayetler” şeklinde nitelendirilebilecek olan isrâilî rivayetler, tefsire zenginlik katan bir imkân mı, yoksa kendisinden uzak durulması gereken zararlı malzeme-ler midir? Bu, İslam’ın ilk dönemlerinden günümüze kadar, daha çok tefsir disiplini çerçevesinde tartışılıp leh ve aleyhinde farklı görüşlerin dile getirildiği muhataralı bir konu olmuştur. Özellikle Yahudi ve Hıristiyan din ve kültürünün baskın olduğu bu rivayet malzemesi, erken dönem tefsir literatüründe özellikle Kur’an kıssalarının tefsirinde önemli bir bilgi kaynağı olarak kullanılmıştır. Ancak isrâiliyat, sonraki dönemlerde dinin özünü bozan zararlı bilgiler olarak telakki edilmiş, günümüze kadar uzanan süreçte gittikçe artan oranlarda tenkit edilmiş, bununla birlikte tamamen terk edilememiştir. Çağdaş tefsirlerde isrâilî rivayetler bazı dönemsel faktörlerin de etkisiyle daha önce hiç olmadığı kadar çok boyutlu bir tenkide tabi tutulmuştur. Çağdaş müfessirlerden biri olan Tâhir b. Âşûr’un (1879-1973) et-Tahrîr ve’t-Tenvîr isimli tefsiri, isrâilî rivayetlere olan yakla-şımlarıyla dikkatleri çekmektedir. Onun tefsirinde bu rivayet malzemesinin bir kısmı belli kriterler çerçevesinde kabul edilerek kullanılmışken bir kısmı da yine belli kriterler çerçevesinde tenkit edilerek reddedilmiştir. Çalışmada müellifin bu konuda gözettiği kriterlerin tespit edilmesi amaç-lanmış, özellikle çağdaş dönemde ciddi bir sorun olarak sıklıkla gündeme gelen bu mevzu, İbn Âşûr’un algısı ve pratik uygulamaları üzerinden irdelenerek problemin çözümüne ışık tutulmaya çalışılmıştır. Müfessirin, ağırlıklı olarak isrâilî rivayet malzemesini tenkit etmiş olsa da bu konuda genelleyici bir tutuma sahip olmadığı, belli kriterler çerçevesinde ondan istifade ederek tefsirde bir imkâna dönüştürdüğü görülmüştür. Onun özgüven sıkıntısı yaşamadan konuyla ilgili sorunları aşma noktasında örneklik teşkil ettiğini ifade etmek mümkündür.
Tandem ve Gebelikte Emzirmede Hemşirelik Yaklaşımı
Authors: Coşkun Erçelik Hamide
Published: April 2022

Emzirmenin anne ve bebek sağlığı açısından son derece önemli olduğu bilinmektedir. Türkiye’de anneler bebeklerini değişen sürelerde emzirmektedir. Ancak; emzirme döneminde yeniden gebe kalan anneler, emzirmenin sürdürülmesi konusunda kararsızlık yaşamakta ve çoğu zaman emzirmeyi sonlandırmaktadır. Bazı anneler ise, gebelikte emzirmeyi sürdürmekte ve doğum sonrasında hem yenidoğanı hem de büyük bebeği emzirmeye (tandem emzirme) devam etmektedir. Bu noktada; hemşirenin vereceği etkili bir eğitim, bakım ve danışmanlık hizmeti emzirmenin sürdürülmesi/sonlandırılması kararında anneye yardımcı olacaktır. Literatürde bu konuda araştırmalar olmasına karşın; emzirmenin koşulsuz önerilmesi veya reddedilmesini destekleyen çok az kanıt vardır. Bu sebeple hemşirelerin ve diğer sağlık profesyonellerinin anneleri nasıl bilgilendirecekleri ve yönlendirecekleri önem kazanmaktadır. Bu derleme, tandem ve gebelik döneminde emzirmenin anne ve çocuk sağlığına etkilerini hemşirelik yaklaşımıyla ele almak, hemşirelerin bu konuda farkındalıklarını artırmak ve emzirme eğitiminde kullanılabilecek kanıta dayalı öneriler sunmak amacıyla yazılmıştır.

Amaç: Hemşirelik uygulamalarının kesintiye uğraması, hemşirelerin performansını doğrudan etkileyerek, yoğun konsantrasyon gerektiren karmaşık aktivitelerde karar verme sürecini güçleştirip verimliliği olumsuz etkilemektedir. Bu literatür incelemesinin amacı hemşirelik uygulamalarında bölünme/kesinti sorununa ilişkin yapılan çalışmaları incelemektir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmada Google Scholar, MEDLINE, Pubmed, CINAHL, Science Direct, Ebscohost, YÖK Tez veri tabanlarında “hemşirelik uygulamaları”, “bölünme/kesinti”, “interruption” and “nursing practices”, “interruption” and “nursing care” anahtar kelimeleri kullanılarak tarama yapılmıştır. Çalışmaya 2010-2020 yıllarında yayın dili Türkçe ve İngilizce olan ve tam metin erişimi bulunan makaleler dâhil edilmiştir. Literatür tarama sonucu toplam 385 çalışmaya ulaşılmıştır. Belirlenen kriterlere uygun olan 19 çalışma araştırmaya dahil edilmiştir.
Bulgular: İncelemeye alınan çalışmalardan 14’ünün tanımlayıcı, 4’ünün ön test son test yarı deneysel ve 1’inin de randomize kontrollü çalışma olduğu görülmüştür. Araştırmalarda örneklem sayısının en az 5, en fazla 278 hemşireden oluştuğu, verilerin toplanmasında ise gözlem, görüşme ve anket formu kullanıldığı bulunmuştur. Araştırmaların çoğu ilaç yönetim süreciyle ilgili bölünme/kesintilere odaklanmıştır. Değerlendirilmeye alınan çalışmaların bulgularına göre; hemşirelerin bölünme/kesinti problemi ile sıklıkla karşılaştıkları, genellikle ilaç yönetim sürecinde bölünme/kesinti yaşadıkları, ana nedenin insan kaynaklı olduğu, azaltmaya yönelik uygulanan girişimlerle yaşanan bölünme/kesinti sayısının azaldığı görülmüştür.
Sonuç: Hemşirelik uygulamalarında bölünme/kesinti sorununa yönelik araştırmaların sayısında son yıllarda artış olsa da çoğunluğunun sıklığı ve nedenleri ile ilgili olduğu görülmüştür. Hemşirelik uygulamalarında bölünme/kesinti sorununun yönetimine ilişkin çalışmaların yapılması önerilebilir.
