Ulusaşırı Göç ve Toplumsal Uyumda Din Eğitiminin Rolü: Erzincan Üzümlü’deki Ahıska Türkleri Örneği
Authors: KOYUNCU Ahmet , ŞİMŞEK Rukiye
Published: December 2020

Adları genellikle sürgünlerle anılan Ahıska Türklerinin makus talihi 1829 Edirne Antlaşması ile Ahıska’nın Rus Çarlığına verilmesiyle başlamıştır. Stalin döneminden itibaren birçok kez sürgüne gönderilmişler, gerek vatanlarında gerekse sürgün bölgelerinde baskı ve zulme maruz bırakılmışlardır. Son olarak 2015 yılında Ukrayna’daki iç karışıklık ve çatışmaların ardından 7668 sayılı bakanlar kurulu kararı Türkiye’ye getirilen Ahıskalılar Erzincan Üzümlü ilçesine yerleştirilmişlerdir. Türk soylu ve Müslüman olsalar da her göç hadisinde olduğu gibi Ahıskalıların Üzümlü’ye uyum sürecinde de zorluklar ve sorunlar baş göstermiştir. Bu süreçte din, toplumsal kabulü kolaylaştırmada ve uyum sürecini hızlandırmada bir katalizör görevi üstlenmiştir. Bu çalışmada da dinin ve daha özelde din eğitiminin toplumsal uyum sürecindeki rolü Üzümlü’deki Ahıskalılar örneği üzerinden ele alınmıştır. Çalışma da Castles’ın kültürel ve sosyal uyum göstergelerinden yola çıkarak nitel yöntem, yarı yapılandırılmış mülakat ve katılımlı gözlem teknikleri kullanılarak elde edilen veriler söylem analizi yöntemi ile incelenmiştir. Araştırma sonuçları göstermektedir ki; din birliği ve özellikle de din eğitimi alınan ortam iki farklı toplumun kültürel uyum sürecinde önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Ahıskalıların genelde Türk toplumuna özelde ise Üzümlü’ye olan aidiyetlerini din üzerinden kuruyor olmaları toplumsal uyum ve bütünleşmede dinin ve din eğitiminin önemini ortaya koymuştur. Benzer şekilde, yerli halkın Ahıskalılar ile ilgili yaşam tarzı farklılığı, devlet desteğiyle Ahıskalıların konutlara yerleştirilmeleri, İş-kur üzerinden işe başlatılmaları, kolay sunulan olanaklara kavuşmaları, fırsat eşitsizliğine sebep olmaları gibi olumsuz düşünceleri ve bu sebeple artan sosyal mesafe, din eğitimi sayesinde olumlu yönde değişim göstermiştir. Son olarak din eğitiminin toplumsal uyumdaki rolünün daha önce herhangi bir çalışmada ele alınmamış olması çalışmanın özgün değerini de ortaya koymaktadır.
Keşifler Çağında Avusturya Kraliyet Doğa Tarihi Müzesi Müdürü Zoolog Franz Steindachner ve Osmanlı Topraklarındaki Araştırmaları
Authors: SAATÇI ATA Meltem Begüm
Published: December 2020

Franz Steindachner 85 yıllık ömrünün dörtte üçünü ihtiyoloji (balık bilimi) alanında özgün araştırmalara adamış bir zoologdur. Avusturya’da alanı ile ilgili farklı kurumlarda görev almıştır. 1898-1919 yılları arasında Avusturya Kraliyet Doğa Tarihi Müzesi müdürlüğü görevini üstlenmiş olan Steindachner, 1890-1898 yılları arasında Avusturya-Macaristan İmparatorluğu desteğiyle Doğu Akdeniz Keşif seferlerini gerçekleştiren ekipte yer almıştır. Aynı kapsamda Balkanlar ve Anadolu topraklarında ihtiyoloji alanında araştırmalar yapmıştır. Steindachner’in Keşifler çağı olarak da kabul edilen 19. yüzyılda Osmanlı Devleti’nde de keşif gezileri olmuştur. Ancak bu bir devlet politikası olmaktan uzak olduğu için bilimsel gelişmelerin öncüsü olamamıştır. Steindachner’in keşif seferleri kapsamında gerçekleştirdiği araştırma gezileri Osmanlı Devleti tarafından engellenmemiştir. Osmanlı Devleti’nin keşifler çağındaki yeri, bir yönüyle zoolog Franz Steindachner’in çalışmaları ile anlaşılabilir. Bu çalışmalar, 1890’lı yıllarda Osmanlı Devleti topraklarının ihtiyoloji alanındaki durumu hakkında bilgi içermektedir. Bugün Türkiye coğrafyasında Steindachner tarafından ad verilmiş endemik türler de mevcuttur.
Type-Specific Persistence/Clearance Results in Human Papillomavirus Infections in Turkish Women
Authors: Sahin Haci Ozturk , Gurlek Beril , Demir Bulent , Silan Fatma
Published: December 2020

OBJECTIVE: The persistence of high-risk human papillomavirus infections, most of which are known to be transient is of critical importance for the development of precursor lesions and cancer in the cervix. The aim of the present study is to investigate the persistence and clearance of genotype-based human papillomavirus infections and also some cofactors that could be effective in persistence.
STUDY DESIGN: Data of 115 patients whose human papillomavirus and genotype detection was made with multiplex Polymerase chain reaction, and capillary electrophoresis were categorized as low-risk human papillomavirus/high risk human papillomavirus and single/multiple human papillomavirus infections, and clearance/persistence data of two years were investigated.
RESULTS: While 82 (71.3%) out of 115 patients (mean age 40.1 years) had a single human papillomavirus infection, the remaining had two or more human papillomavirus infections. Of all human papillomavirus infections, 81.5% (128/157) were high risk-human papillomavirus. Clearance rates of human papillomavirus infections during the first two years was 85.4% (134/157), persistence was 14.6% (23/157). The most frequently persisted high risk-human papillomavirus genotypes were 31, 52, 68, 16, and 35, respectively. A statistically significant difference was not found in human papillomavirus persistence with regard to the infection’s being single/multiple or low-ris/high risk. A significant difference was not found between age groups and persistence.
CONCLUSIONS: Of human papillomavirus infections, 85.4% are cleared during the first two years while the most frequently persisted high risk-human papillomavirus genotypes were 31, 52, 68, 16, and 35, respectively. Being aware of population-based clearance/persistence results of type-specific infections may specify screening strategies.

Authors: Singh Suneeta , Dey Madhusudhan , Singh Sanjay , Sasidharan Shibu
Published: December 2020

Preterm birth is associated with significant perinatal morbidity and mortality. Spontaneous preterm birth accounts for upto 75% of all preterm births. A number of maternal and fetal characteristics have been associated with preterm birth. With better understanding of the pathophysiology of preterm birth, various biochemical markers have been studied extensively to predict the preterm birth efficiently so as to intervene appropriately and timely in the cases that would benefit from treatment. This paper provides a summary of the current literature on the use of biochemical markers in predicting spontaneous preterm birth in symptomatic and high risk-asymptomatic women. Evidence from the literature suggests cervico vaginal fetal fibronectin,interleukin-6, phosphorylated Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-1(phIGFBP1), placental alpha macroglobulin-1 (PAMG-1) and serum
Application of the international experience of digital transformation in remote bank services
Authors: Vashchekina I. V.
Published: December 2020

The article considers the experience of digital transformation of banking services in foreign countries from the point of view of its application in Russian practice. The study was conducted by analytical, economic and statistical methods on the basis of legislative regulations and economic reports. New types of operations arising on the basis of rapidly developing information technologies are considered and classified. It is shown that in different countries the pace of launching quick payment systems and other innovative means of customer service, as well as the conditions for their functioning, are determined by the goals and objectives, therefore, users are offered different functionality. The practice of developing mobile banks abroad is heterogeneous. Based on the experience of leading countries in this field, Russian banks independently implement and develop innovative payment technologies. The audience of domestic mobile banks in Russia is growing steadily. The main calculation, as in foreign countries, is done on an active, self-educated, open to creative contact user who is able not only to respond, but also to generate new conditions for interaction. The expansion of international banking cooperation and the standardization of approaches in the field of mobile payments will inevitably lead to the fact that mobile devices, replacing cash and reducing the share of bank cards, will play a leading role in making payments, as they provide a combination of flexibility and accessibility.

Authors: Minat V. N.
Published: December 2020

The significant role of the United States in global innovative industrial production and related foreign trade in high-tech products requires studying the interaction between these two phenomena of economic development of the country in the space-time continuum. By studying the dynamics of structural indicators of export-import components of US foreign trade in industrial goods with high knowledge intensity and the nature of their ratio in absolute terms (balance) for the period 1946-2019, long-term trends that determine its sectoral (in this case, by product groups) and territorial (spatial) structure in the global system of world economic relations are revealed. The interrelation of the de-industrialization of the American economy as a whole and the constant growth of the innovative potential of the industrial sector of the US economy with a slowdown in the external economic impact of the country's high-tech industries on the world market is shown, despite the historically established competitive advantages of this group of manufacturing industries and their successful development in the domestic market of the United States.

Analysis of tensile behavior of recycled aggregate concrete using acoustic emission technique
Authors: Williams Portal Natalie , Flansbjer Mathias , Carró-Lopez Diego , Fernandez Ignasi
Published: December 2020

Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) was processed from reinforced concrete edge beams sourced from a demolished bridge. This material replaced different ratios of coarse aggregate in a benchmark concrete. The tensile behavior of the developed concrete mixes was characterized via monotonic and cyclic uniaxial tensile tests performed on notched cylinders. Such tensile tests allow for the quantification of the fracture energy and softening behavior of the concrete. Moreover, acoustic emission (AE) measurements were conducted in conjunction with the cyclic tests to characterize e.g. micro-crack initiation and development, as well as crack localization. The tensile behavior of the various materials was found to be similar with minimal variation in the results. However, the softening behavior suggests that the RCA materials are slightly more brittle compared to both the mother and benchmark materials. The corresponding AE measurements also indicated similarities between the micro-crack initiation and development for these mixes. It can be constituted that if the concrete used to produce RCA is of high quality and from one source, the resulting RAC will have adequate tensile properties with minimal variation, despite the aggregate replacement ratio.

Authors: Castillo Rodríguez Cristina Milagrosa , Torrado Cespón Milagros
Published: December 2020

Considering the need of providing students with new approaches for the learning of English, this paper attempts at offering primary-school teachers some ideas for the EFL flipped classroom. One of the problems of in-service teachers is the lack of knowledge about this methodology and its applicability in the language classroom. Once they understand the requirements, the lack of attractive resources makes them doubt about their practicability. In order to solve this, this paper proposes the use of learning paths created with the well-known social bookmarking site Symbaloo. These learning paths can be built with the requirements of the any specific classroom, easily personalized and shared. Symbaloo learning paths enable user to gather diverse material and resources using both online resources and self-created teaching material. The role of LKT/ICT needs to be considered here and some options are provided for the learning path so as to complement the contents in the classroom. This article shows the steps to follow and the resources which can suit the needs of most primary school teachers in the building of a learning path. Finally, an example of genuine learning path is provided.

Authors: Tutiasri Ririn Puspita , Kusuma Ade
Published: December 2020

The millennial generation emerges in the era of advanced technology. The characters of the generation tend to have advanced knowledge of both technology and information. This convenience, spreading information easily, causes difficulty identifying whether or not the news is factual. Media literacy is necessary for millennials considering this generation is familiar with modern technology. Data are collected through observations and in-depth interviews. The analysis results that spreading Hoax via group chat is capable of anyone, including close and trusted family members. To prevent the act of disseminating Hoax in family and sibling, thus, a family member has an important role in reminding each other of the relevance of media literacy. This study concludes that knowledge and mastery of technology and the management of information from millennials are essential. Therefore the spreading Hoax is diminished. Literacy from generation to response disseminating Hoax in WhatsApp group provides knowledge to group members, especially parent, to be not gullible and easily provoked to single information. The opportunity of disseminating Hoax through a family group in WhatsApp is higher because of the mutual trust among family members and shared the information without clarifying it.

Block cipher four implementation on field programmable gate array
Authors: Kurniawan Yusuf , Rizqulloh Muhammad Adli
Published: December 2020

Block ciphers are used to protect data in information systems from being leaked to unauthorized people. One of many block cipher algorithms developed by Indonesian researchers is the BCF (Block Cipher-Four) - a block cipher with 128-bit input/output that can accept 128-bit, 192-bit, or 256-bit keys. The BCF algorithm can be used in embedded systems that require fast BCF implementation. In this study, the design and implementation of the BCF engine were carried out on the FPGA DE2. It is the first research on BCF implementation in FPGA. The operations of the BCF machine were controlled by Nios II as the host processor. Our experiments showed that the BCF engine could compute 2,847 times faster than a BFC implementation using only Nios II / e. Our contribution presents the description of new block cipher BCF and the first implementation of it on FPGA using an efficient method.

Published: December 2020

Microalgae has emerged as a promising approach for removing substrate and nutrient from wastewater with the concomitant biofuel production. The substrate and nutrient removal are influenced by several factors such as C/N ratio, F/M ratio, pH, and DO. This study aims to determine the efficiency of substrate and nutrient removal with the growth rates of microalgae and biomass by varying the addition of aeration and substrate. Intermittently aerated reactors were used with the flow rate of 14 L/minute. The batch reactors were prepared by adding glucose substrate of 50 mg/L (Ra0A), 100 mg/L (Ra0B), and 150 mg/L (Ra0C) without aeration; 50 mg/L (Ra12A), 100 mg/L (Ra12B), and 150 mg/L (Ra12C) with 12-hour aeration, and 50 mg/L (Ra24A), 100 mg/L (Ra24B), and 150 mg/L (Ra24C) with 24-hour aeration. The substrate removal, expressed as chemical oxygen demand (COD) in the reactor with aeration, showed the efficiency of 73.88% ± 2.05 (12-hour aeration), 75.2% ± 3.97 (24hours aeration), and 69.86% ± 5.69(without aeration). Nutrient removal as ammonia-N (NH3-N) gave high removal value of 98.3% ± 0.11 and the removal of nutrient as phosphate (PO3-4) showed the efficiency of 54.3% ± 0.1. The growth rate of microalgae and biomass exhibited the highest value in Ra24C reactor with the values ??of 0.0229/day and 0.1295/day, respectively. The pH values ??indicated a shift from normal to alkaline while DO values ??increased by the addition of 12 and 24-hour aeration.

Studies on green open space and ecological wisdom have developed over time and are linked to various subjects and impacts. However, both research subjects have developed somewhat independently despite their approaches often achieving a sustainable landscape. This paper proposed a bibliometric analysis of green open space and ecological wisdom research to identify the trends and hot topics on both aspects, then determine a potential topic for future research relating to both subject areas. We collected English research papers from the last decades from the Scopus database using appropriate keywords and analyzed the metadata using VOSviewer program. Then, the text data were extracted from the title and abstract of the document collections using VOSviewer built-in text mining function. The hot topic term was analyzed by calculating the score of the average citation based on their occurrences. Finally, potential research in green open space and ecological wisdom field was determined by overlaying the findings and catching the slice. A total of 283 document collections were analyzed and 75 most relevant terms were found. All the terms were divided into four clusters as a research field: urban green space cluster, environmental quality cluster, sustainable planning cluster, and landscape development cluster. Further, the hot topic analysis found ten keywords that had a high citation impact in document collection and mostly came from a sustainable planning cluster. After overlaying the findings, six terms emerged that have a high potential for future research because of their high citation impact for science.

Published: December 2020

Mefenamic acid is an analgesic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is categorized as Biopharmaceutical Classification System (BCS) class II drug. Cocrystallization of mefenamic acid (MFA) with nicotinamide (NIC) has been reported to enhance the solubility of MFA for about 2.56 times higher than pure MFA. As a part of MFA-NIC development in pharmaceutical dosage form, we reported the improvement of mechanical properties of MFA-NIC cocrystal based on the presence of slip planes in crystal structure. The research was initially by synthesizing and characterizing the cocrystal by using X-ray diffraction analysis, and was followed by the investigation of the mechanical properties of MFA and its cocrystal, i.e. tensile strength and deformation parameter. The correlation of crystal structure with mechanical properties was determined by crystal packing motif and slip plane analysis from single crystal data by using Mercury 3.6. The tensile strength of MFA was acceptance at 20.0 MPa, and dropped at more than 25.0 MPa. A better tableting performance was observed in MFA-NIC cocrystal which had the tensile strength 1.5 times higher than MFA at 12.5 MPa and gradually increased with an increasing pressure up to 2.5 times at 22.5 MPa. The flat slip plane of MFA-NIC cocrystal was predicted as the key factor in the improvement of its mechanical properties, compared to zigzag slip plane of MFA. In conclusion, MFA-NIC cocrystal had the better mechanical properties than pure MFA due to its flat slip plane and it becomes potential to be explored in further development of solid dosage form.

Published: December 2020

The multi-class motor imagery based on Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals in Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) systems still face challenges, such as inconsistent accuracy and low classification performance due to inter-subject dependent. Therefore, this study aims to improve multi-class EEG-motor imagery using two-stage detection and voting scheme on one-versus-one approach. The EEG signal used to carry out this research was extracted through a statistical measure of narrow window sliding. Furthermore, inter and cross-subject schemes were investigated on BCI competition IV-Dataset 2a to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The experimental results showed that the proposed method produced enhanced inter and cross-subject kappa coefficient values of 0.78 and 0.68, respectively, with a low standard deviation of 0.1 for both schemes. These results further indicated that the proposed method has an ability to address inter-subject dependent for promising and reliable BCI systems.

Authors: Volosovets O.P. , Vrublevska S.V.
Published: December 2020

Останнім часом істотно зросла роль техногенного впливу на організм людини, що обумовлює поширення алергопатології серед дитячого населення. Серед 318 немовлят з IgE-залежними захворюваннями шкіри зареєстровано максимальний рівень гіперсенсибілізації до харчових алергенів (переважно до протеїнів курячого ембріона (34,48 %) та коров’ячого молока (25 %)) та інгаляційних алергенів (переважно до епідермальних алергенів домашніх тварин (28,7 %) та побутових алергенів (29 %)). Створення гіпосенсибілізуючого ефекту до вищезазначених облігатних алергенів дозволить запобігти розвитку атопії в дітей раннього віку. До алергенів риби, пшениці, бобових, арахісу, моркви, картоплі сенсибілізацію серед 318 дітей піддослідної групи не виявлено, що робить недоцільним елімінацію їх відповідно до загальноприйнятих рекомендацій із профілактики алергічних захворювань у дітей у Запорізькому регіоні.

Новые подходы к антибактериальной терапии острых тонзиллофарингитов у детей
Authors: Bolbot Yu.K.
Published: December 2020

В последние годы наблюдается тенденция к снижению эффективности лечения острых тонзиллофарингитов у детей антибиотиками группы пенициллинов. Это связано с изменившейся этиологией заболевания: в генезе острого тонзиллофарингита участвуют ассоциации β-гемолитического стрептококка с грамотрицательной и грамположительной микрофлорой. Использование в терапии цефалоспоринов II генерации значимо повышает эффективность терапии и снижает риск развития осложнений.

Особливості перебігу хронічного вірусного гепатиту в дітей
Authors: Berezenko V.S. , Tsariova O.V.
Published: December 2020

Мета — вивчити особливості перебігу хронічного вірусного гепатиту В (ХГВ) у дітей залежно від тривалості хвороби, штаму вірусу та вірусного навантаження. Обстежена 61 дитина з ХГВ віком 3–18 років. Усім хворим було проведено клінічне, лабораторне та інструментальне обстеження. Клінічний перебіг ХГВ оцінювався за вираженістю клінічних і лабораторних синдромів протягом усього періоду захворювання. Методом полімеразної ланцюгової реакції та за допомогою імуноферментного аналізу визначено штам вірусу гепатиту В (HBV) і вірусне навантаження. Фіброз печінки оцінювався за індексом APRI. ХГВ у третини дітей характеризувався неактивним перебігом (імунотолерантна фаза), у половини хворих мала місце низька та мінімальна активність запального процесу в печінці з мінімальною клінічною симптоматикою. У 55,9 % дітей встановлено горизонтальний шлях передачі вірусу. Встановлено, що у хворих із високим вірусним навантаженням і диким штамом HBV ХГВ вірогідно частіше має активний перебіг. Зі зростанням тривалості ХГВ вірусне навантаження зменшується. Встановлено прямий зв’язок середньої сили між штамом вірусу та вірусним навантаженням і сильну кореляцію з активністю процесу в печінці. У дітей із ХГВ активність гепатиту є предиктором прогресування фіброзу печінки.

Published: December 2020

Стаття присвячена вивченню нутритивного статусу хворих на хронічні запальні захворювання кишечника (ХЗЗК) за допомогою біоімпедансметрії. Обстежено 40 хворих на ХЗЗК. Встановлено високу частоту відхилень масової частки жиру в організмі (87,5 %) з переважанням нутритивної недостатності (65,0 %), що асоціювалася зі зниженням адаптаційних можливостей організму та тяжким перебігом захворювання. Для 70,0 % обстежених хворих був характерний перерозподіл водних секторів організму за рахунок збільшення позаклітинної рідини та зменшення внутрішньоклітинної рідини, який був більш вираженим у пацієнтів із підвищеним нутритивним статусом порівняно з хворими з нутритивною недостатністю. Більш виражені зміни компонентного складу тіла були характерні для хворих на хворобу Крона.
Сравнительное исследование эффективности препарата Прогепар у пациентов с неалкогольным стеатогепатитом
Authors: Perederii V.G. , Syzenko G.K.
Published: December 2020

Неалкогольная жировая болезнь печени (НАЖБП) является одним из самых распространенных заболеваний печени в развитых странах. В среднем ее частота достигает 20 %. У части пациентов ­НАЖБП протекает с наличием воспаления, вакуолизации гепатоцитов и последующим развитием фиброза и цирроза. Такой вариант течения НАЖБП называют неалкогольным стеатогепатитом (НАСГ). Пациенты с НАСГ подвержены более высокому риску развития осложнений, например возникновению гепатоцеллюлярной карциномы или варикозного расширения вен пищевода. Специфическая терапия НАСГ на сегодняшний день еще не разработана. Основные рекомендации для пациентов заключаются в изменении стиля жизни, что имеет определенную эффективность в снижении уровня стеатоза и активности воспаления. Однако быстро прогрессирующее течение НАСГ не всегда возможно контролировать одним только снижением калорийности диеты и увеличением уровня физической активности. Для лечения пациентов с НАСГ также используется неспецифическая терапия, которая способна замедлять прогрессирование заболевания и снижать уровень воспаления. Так как основным механизмом патогенеза НАСГ является оксидативный стресс, исследователи активно изучают действие различных антиоксидантов и их комбинаций. На сегодняшний день представлено большое количество результатов исследований подобных препаратов. Существенным ограничением большой части данных исследований является отсутствие тщательного мониторинга комплайенса и длительности выполнения пациентами рекомендаций по изменению образа жизни. Ведь в данной ситуации особый интерес должны представлять именно те пациенты, у которых высокая степень активности НАСГ сохраняется, несмотря на строгую приверженность к рекомендациям по изменению стиля жизни. В связи с этим требуется проведение дополнительных исследований по оценке эффективности фармакологической терапии у пациентов с НАСГ на фоне длительного изменения образа жизни. В этой статье мы приведем описание и результаты одноцентрового контролируемого исследования по оценке эффективности препарата Прогепар у пациентов с НАСГ с персистенцией активности воспалительного процесса на фоне модификации образа жизни.
