The effect of spiritual hypnosis intervention on the level of comfort, pain, and endorphin in post-operative femoral fracture patients
Authors: Eko Mulyadi , Aan Dwi Sentana , Suryadi Amin Edi
Published: December 2024

Context: Several studies investigated the effectiveness of non-pharmacological pain management, including hypnosis. Spiritual hypnosis helps an individual find spiritual comfort in their pain experience, turning the perception of pain into something positive.

Aims: To evaluate the effect of spiritual hypnosis on comfort, pain, and endorphin levels in post-operative femur fracture patients in four hospitals in East Java.

Methods: This study used a pre-post-test quasi-experiment with a control group design. Thirty-four samples of post-operative femur fracture patients were divided into two equally divided groups: the control and treatment groups. The level of comfort was measured with a general comfort scale questionnaire, the pain was assessed with a visual analog scale, and endorphin levels were measured with the ELISA test. The control group received the standard intervention, while the treatment group received the spiritual hypnosis. The spiritual hypnosis was performed by a certified hypnotherapist in six stages: pre-induction, induction, deepening, deep-level test, suggestion, and termination.

Results: The findings indicated that spiritual hypnosis significantly decreased pain (Δ=0.00) and significantly improved the comfort level (Δ=0.00) with no change in the endorphin level (Δ=0,506). Spiritual hypnosis may reduce pain by enhancing comfort without the mediation of endorphins. When patients are treated with spiritual hypnosis interventions, they are guided into a calm and relaxed state, turning their perception of pain into a positive thing. Furthermore, the American Psychological Association stated that hypnosis can reduce pain through sensations, perceptions, thoughts, and habits. However, endorphins may not be involved in hypnotic analgesia. Because hypnosis is not primarily mediated by opiating endorphins. Future research needs to consider the patients’ environmental and physical conditions, as they may affect pain and comfort levels during the spiritual hypnosis treatment.

Conclusion: Hypnosis can be used independently or along with analgetic medications. In addition, future research may also focus on the effect of spiritual hypnosis on cortisol levels and the role of cortisol in reducing pain.

Published: December 2024

Context: Smallanthus sonchifolius or yacon has been reported to have hypoglycemic effects. Inhibition of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) is one of the mechanisms of antidiabetic drugs.
Aims: To evaluate potential compounds in S. sonchifolius as SGLT-2 inhibitors using molecular docking analysis and dynamic simulation, as well as predict the pharmacokinetic profiles of the potent compounds using ADMETlab 3.0.
Methods: Fourteen molecules from S. sonchifolius were docked with SGLT-2 (PDB Code 7VSI) simultaneously as empagliflozin and canagliflozin as standard ligands. Three compounds, they are 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid (3,5-DCQA); and 3,4-dicaffeoylquinic acid (3,4-DCQA), 1-kestose, showed lower rerank scores than empagliflozin and canagliflozin. The analysis proceeded to molecular dynamic simulation by investigating the RMSD and binding energy of SGLT-2 protein in complexes with the ligands to evaluate the dynamic behavior of protein-ligand complexes.
Results: All ligands illustrate similar patterns with two ligand controls, suggesting its acceptable movement from the binding site of SGLT-2. 1-Kestose exhibited stronger binding affinity with SGLT-2 during the period of simulation and continued to interact with the binding pocket of SGLT-2 until the end of the simulation, which involved some critical residues, including Phe98, Glu99, and Ser287, and mainly contributed to hydrogen bond interactions. However, 1-kestose was predicted to have low gastrointestinal absorption due to many polar substituents, while 3,4-DCQA and 3,5-DCQA have higher gastrointestinal absorption.
Conclusions: One phytochemical present in S. sonchifolius is 1-kestose, which is thought to have action as an SGLT-2 inhibitor for the treatment of diabetes based on the findings of molecular docking and molecular dynamics investigations. This compound falls into BCS Class III, which means it has good solubility but poor permeability.

A pesquisa aborda a sífilis no contexto da região bragantina, nordeste do estado do Pará, Amazônia brasileira, uma infecção que desafia há séculos a humanidade, considerada mundialmente a segunda infecção sexualmente transmissível mais grave, após a suscitada pelo Vírus da Imunodeficiência Humana (HIV), podendo acometer todo o núcleo familiar, por ser transmitida de mãe para filho durante a gestação. É evitável, de fácil identificação e tem cura. Na Região Amazônica de Bragança, município do Estado do Pará, conta com ações de saúde pública para tentativa de controle desta infecção. Ao narrar a história oral de uma adolescente infectada com sífilis, que transmitiu a bactéria ao seu filho, durante o diálogo em ambiente hospitalar com a profissional de saúde (pesquisadora) no mês de maio de 2023, objetiva-se suscitar uma análise sobre os agenciamentos que atravessam o ser vulnerável morador deste território, diante de embates simbólicos entre a medicina curativa e tradicional em uma situação de fragilidade de saúde carreada de estereotipias e marginalização do ser acometido. Metodologicamente, o estudo ocorreu por meio de revisão bibliográfica e estudo de caso acompanhado no mês de maio de 2023 em um hospital público de Bragança-PA. Os principais resultados apontam para a importância da narrativa de uma mulher Amazônica duplamente fragilizada, pelo puerpério e pelo acometimento de seu bebê em período tão precoce de vida, permitindo que a discussão intercultural transite entre saberes de modo a suscitar reflexões sobre melhorias nos cuidados e na atenção dada por aqueles que vivenciam histórias únicas neste espaço Amazônico.
Shifting Identities as a Strategy to Remain in the Homeland: The Remarkable History of Kurfallı, Eastern Thrace's Last Bulgarian Village
Authors: Macar Elçin
Published: December 2024

The Bulgarians of the village of Kurfallı in Silivri, who had previously survived the aforementioned wave of migration by asserting their identity as Greeks, also survived the 1923 Population Exchange by reaffirming their Bulgarian identity. However, in the 1930s, when it became evident that they could no longer maintain their identity as the sole remaining Bulgarian community in the region, they chose to xchange places with a Turkish village from Bulgaria. This represented the final instance of population xchange in the Balkans. The paper is primarily based on Turkish archival sources.

This article explores the disruptions that occur throughout an academic leader’s career and the self-management skills necessary to navigate these transitions. Academic leadership in universities is unique, often involving the challenge of leading independent, critically thinking individuals who may resist being led. Additionally, the individualistic nature of academic merit systems can sometimes complicate the leadership of collaborative efforts. Focusing on the early stages of leadership, particularly the transition from researcher to group leader and beyond, we examine the characteristics of academic leadership at different career phases. Using Bolman and Deal’s (2017) framework, we analyze academic leadership from multiple perspectives: organizational, human resources, political and symbolic. We hope this article sparks further discussion on academic leadership and provides early career researchers with insights to better prepare for evolving leadership roles.

Sur la base d’études antérieures, ayant démontré une efficacité in vitro de l’huile essentielle de Cymbopogon giganteus Chiov. (Poaceae) sur les germes impliqués dans l’angine de gorge, l’objectif de cette étude était de développer un collutoire à base de cette huile pour le traitement de l’angine. L’huile d’olive a été utilisée comme phase dispersée, le TWEEN 60 et SPAN 60 comme tensio-actifs pour stabiliser l’émulsion pour le collutoire. Plusieurs essais utilisant différentes proportions d’huile d’olive ont été nécessaires avant d’obtenir la préparation la plus stable. La caractérisation du collutoire a été effectuée au moyen de tests organoleptiques et microscopiques. Le sens de l’émulsion a été déterminé par les tests colorants et confirmé par le test de conductivité électrique. L’absence d’instabilité du collutoire a été vérifiée au moyen de tests de stabilité physique, à la température et à la centrifugeuse. La stérilité du collutoire a été recherchée par ensemencement sur différents milieux gélosés. Après plusieurs essais, seule la préparation à 40 % d’huile d’olive à l’aspect blanc laiteux et au toucher gras était stable avec une absence de floculation et de coalescence et sans observation de phénomènes d’instabilités à type de crémage ou de sédimentation. Les tests de conductivité (49,2 µS/cm) ont confirmé le sens huile dans l’eau (H/E) de l’émulsion. Les tests de stérilité ont été concluants en l’absence de prolifération de microorganisme après 5 jours d’incubation. Cette étude a permis la formulation d’un collutoire à base d’huile essentielle de Cymbopogon giganteus présentant un bon profil, de qualité et de stabilité.

Authors: YAMEOGO Relwende Aristide , BERE N Léonel Ulrich , ZABSONRE Patrice , MEDA Nicolas
Published: December 2024

Background and aim: Self-medication, commonplace in Ouagadougou, is facilitated by growing access to the Internet and social networks. This study analyzes the impact of these technologies on this practice and the public health challenges it poses.
Methods: It was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted from August 1 to October 31, 2023. The study included all people using self-medication during this period. We randomly selected on-call pharmacies to survey patients purchasing medication. Data were collected using electronic questionnaires via KoboToolbox software. A logistic regression model was used to identify factors associated with the practice of self-medication via the Internet.
Results: We collected data from 697 people. Five hundred people (n=500) out of the 658 who used the Internet, i.e. 75.98%, admitted to having already looked for health-related information on the Internet. The rate of self-medication via the Internet was 55.20% (n=385). The average age for self-medication via the internet was 29.95±9.6 years [18 years - 70 years], with a sex ratio of 1.21. Self-medication via the Internet was noted among people with a higher level of education in 65% of cases. The final logistic regression model showed that lack of access to healthcare professionals, unbearable waiting times in maternity wards, and the high cost of consultation fees and prescribed medication were factors associated with the practice of self-medication via the internet.
Conclusion: Our results show the need to implement strategies to improve quality of care and facilitate access to reliable data sources for populations

Published: December 2024

The study was conducted to solve the problems of low monomer conversion rate and insufficient curing depth of dental resin complexes during curing in gingival wall elevation procedures. A dental composite resin was prepared by modifying the blue emitting long afterglow luminescent material. Then it was applied in the treatment of oral caries for experimental research. The results showed that the afterglow of the SMSED material showed high brightness and blue, with its thermoluminescence peak higher than that of the control group, reaching a maximum of 3 × 106. The curing performance was better. It was 9.17 % higher than CAED and 10.27 % higher than SAED. The accuracy of the measurements for the different resins in the study was about 5.67 %. In addition, the double bond conversion rate of the composite resin doped with 1 wt.% increased by 114.16 % compared to the composite resin without SMSED doping. The structure and size of composite resins containing 1 wt.% research materials were more stable. Overall, the cell survival rate for 1 – 3 days was higher than 70 %, indicating that the modified composite resin had lower toxicity to L929 cells. Overall, the performance of the dental composite resin prepared by modifying the blue emitting long afterglow luminescent material is significantly improved, indicating its effectiveness and practicality. It can be practically applied in the treatment of dental caries in gingival wall lifting surgery.

Published: December 2024

Background: Carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA) has become a major global concern. Quorum sensing (QS) regulates the expression of biofilm formation genes and virulence factors. Enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus polymerase chain reaction (ERIC-PCR) is widely used in epidemiological molecular studies. Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to determine the QS characteristics and genetic relatedness of CRPA. Methods: A total of 57 non-duplicative CRPA isolates were collected. A microtiter plate assay was used to assess biofilm formation. After DNA extraction, PCR was performed to detect resistance elements and QS-encoded genes. Enterobacterial repetitive intergenic ERIC-PCR was conducted using specific primers. Results: The biofilm formation assay revealed that 10.5%, 19.3%, and 70.2% of isolates formed weak, moderate, and strong biofilms, respectively. Of the isolates, 75.4%, 64.9%, 12.3%, and 8.7% carried the blaIMP, blaVIM, blaNDM, and blaKPC genes, respectively. Additionally, 73.7%, 7.0%, and 1.7% of CRPA isolates carried the blaOXA-48-like, blaOXA-23-like, and blaOXA-20/40-like genes, respectively. The prevalence of the lasR, lasI, rhlI, rhlR, aprR, aprA, and rhlAB genes were 100%, 96.5%, 92.9%, 89.5%, 84.2%, 73.6%, and 63.2%, respectively. Enterobacterial repetitive intergenic ERIC-PCR revealed eight distinct clusters (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H) using a similarity cut-off of ≥ 60%. Conclusions: The findings indicate a high prevalence of strong biofilm formation and quorum-sensing genes among CRPA isolates. The study highlights the importance of biofilm production and genetic diversity in CRPA isolates, underscoring the challenges in infection control and treatment strategies.
Thomistic Forfeiture and the Rehabilitation of Defensive Abortion, Part II
Authors: Campbell James R. ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: December 2024

The foundational concepts of Part I (IJAP, Vol. 37, no. 2) are here elaborated and applied to unintended and unwanted pregnancies resulting from consensual intercourse, both within and outside of marriage. Following a brief enquiry into Scriptural presuppositions about unwanted pregnancy, different sorts of provisional, constrained or impaired consent to separating the unitive and procreative ends of intercourse are analyzed. Their common reliance on erroneous beliefs and disordered precepts is investigated along the way to evaluating three Thomisticly validated excuses for seeking a defensively unjustified abortion, and the quasi-involuntary origin of intellectual blind spots about such moral errors is explicated in terms of a Thomist account of perceptual apprehensions, sensitive passions, and conceptual intellect. The basic features of both excused and justified defensive abortions are then shown to provide a coherent basis for shaping abortion laws in accordance with the Constitutionally protected rights of self-defense and liberty in procreation, as well as the Thomist principles of just legislation.

Adolescents who face reproductive health issues without adequate support or understanding are likely to experience stress, anxiety and depression, which can affect their overall quality of life. This study aims to analyse the effectiveness of interactive education in improving reproductive health knowledge of high school students at Eskola Secundaria Colegio Sáo Miguel Arcanjo and Eskola Secundaria Geral 1912 Dom Boaventura Same Manufahi Timor-Leste. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest approach involving two groups of high school students, namely an experimental group from Eskola Secundaria Colegio Sáo Miguel Arcanjo Same that received interactive education and a control group from Eskola Secundaria Geral 1912 Dom Boaventura Same that received traditional teaching methods. Data were collected through a questionnaire that measured various student variables before and after the educational intervention. The results showed that interactive education significantly improved students' reproductive health knowledge. In Eskola Secundaria Colegio Sáo Miguel Arcanjo, 48.6% of students had increased knowledge after the education, compared to 42.9% before the intervention. In contrast, in the control group (Eskola Secundaria Geral 1912 Dom Boaventura), only 11.4% of students achieved adequate knowledge after traditional education, while 88.6% remained in the insufficient knowledge category. In addition, high motivation to learn, good understanding of the material, engagement in discussions and teacher support influenced the success of interactive education. Interactive education was found to be effective in improving reproductive health knowledge among students of Eskola Secundaria Colegio Sáo Miguel Arcanjo, compared to conventional teaching methods. Therefore, a more interactive educational approach that supports active student engagement is recommended to be implemented in reproductive health education programmes in schools.

Published: December 2024

Background: A person's mental health plays a significant role in their lives since it allows them to function as living creatures and carry out their daily activities. A person in good mental health is able to see their own potential, manage everyday stressors, perform efficiently, and positively impact their surroundings. Aims: This study aims to analyze the relationship between genetic, socio-economic, and environmental factors on mental health in adolescents. Methods: A review of the literature from 2019 to 2024 was conducted as part of this research technique using Pubmed and Science Direct with the keywords “mental health”, “socio-economic factors”, “genetic factors”, “adolescents". Results: The literature review finds that mental disorders are caused by a combination of genetic, biological, psychological, and environmental factors. However, of the 15 factors that were examined, there was 1 factor that was not associated with adolescent mental health, namely physical activity. In a study conducted by Amir, et al. (2024) showed that there was no correlation between physical activity and anxiety (one of the mental health disorders). Conclusion: Based on the results of a literature review of 15 journals, it can be concluded that adolescent mental health is not only influenced by socio- economic factors but also by genetic, environmental, and interpersonal relationship factors.

Beyond the Minimum
Authors: Lechtenberg Urszula , Gold Helene
Published: December 2024

In April 2024, the Department of Justice finalized a rule updating regulations for Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which requires that all state and local governments make their services, programs, and activities accessible, including those that are offered online and in mobile apps. The final rule dictates that public entities’ web content meet the technical standards of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Version 2.1, level AA, an industry standard since its creation in 2018.
Libraries that receive federal funding will be required to follow this rule for any web content they create, including LibGuides. Springshare’s LibGuide platform is one of the most widely used among libraries for web content creation, from complete websites to pedagogical and research guides. While Springshare may develop plans to make sure its clients are in compliance with this new rule, there are more important questions that LibGuide creators need to consider to move beyond the bare minimum of following the rule. The authors explain what WCAG 2.1 AA compliance requires, how LibGuide authors can use accessibility principles to ensure compliance, and offer available tools to check existing guides, as well as discuss alternatives to LibGuides.

The background to this research is that Arabic ranks second as the most difficult language in the world, so Muslims all over the world are competing to develop a method to make it easier for Muslims to learn Arabic, especially Nahwu and Shorof. One of them is the amtsilati method, a method that is considered successful as proven by the number of Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia that use this method. In this regard, the researcher chose the Tarbiyatul Ulum Sumursongo Islamic Boarding School as the object for researching the amtsilati method. The objectives are: 1) To find out the application of the amtsilati book to improve critical thinking skills in nahwu learning at the Tarbiyatul Ulum Sumursongo Islamic Boarding School 2) To find out the advantages and disadvantages of learning nahwu using the amtsilati book at the Tarbiyatul Ulum Sumursongo Islamic Boarding School. This research method uses a qualitative descriptive approach. The main data source is the teacher from the amtsilati method. Data collection techniques use observation, interviews, documentation. Data analysis uses data condensation, data presentation, drawing conclusions. Research results: 1) Amtsilati is taught as a subject at Madrasah Diniyyah and is taught twice a week, the time allocation for each meeting is 90 minutes. 2) Amtsilati has the advantage of its materials which are summaries of the nahwu and shorof books which are mu'tabar and there are nadhom nadhom with Javanese translations which make it easier to understand. As for the drawbacks, amtsilati only teaches the basic material of nahwu and shorof, amtsilati also requires the material to be taught repeatedly
Lernen und Lerntätigkeit
Authors: Fichtner Bernd
Published: December 2024

Für "Lernen" und "Lerntätigkeit" scheinen in einer traditionellen Perspektive die einzelwissenschaftlichen Disziplinen der Psychologie, Erziehungswissenschaft und der Schulpädagogik zuständig zu sein. Sie bemühen sich mit all ihrem methodischen Instrumentarium um eine immer präzisere wissenschaftliche Erfassung dieser Wirklichkeit, die in der Perspektive der jeweiligen Einzelwissenschaft im Grunde als bereits verstanden gilt. Die Lernpsychologie weiß im Grunde genommen, was Lernen seinem Wesen nach ist; die Schulpädagogik weiß im Grunde genommen, was Lerntätigkeit, was handlungsorientierter Unterricht ist. Noch nicht ganz verstandene Bereiche werden als zu lösende Forschungsaufgaben angesehen.Einer solchen Auffassung versucht dieser Band mit einem Hinweis Albert Einsteins zu widersprechen:"Begriffe, welche sich bei der Ordnung der Dinge als nützlich erwiesen haben, erlangen über uns leicht eine solche Autorität, dass wir sie als unabänderliche Gegebenheiten hinnehmen. Sie werden zu "Denknotwendigkeiten" gestempelt. Der Weg des wissenschaftlichen Fortschritts wird durch solche Irrtümer oft für lange Zeit ungangbar gemacht. Es ist deshalb keine müßige Spielerei, wenn wir darin geübt werden, die geläufigen Begriffe zu analysieren. Dadurch wird ihre allzu große Autorität gebrochen" EINSTEIN, Albert (1931): The World as I see it. In: Forum and Century. Vol. 84, pp193-194.In dieser Perspektive wagt dieser Band eine Grenzüberschreitung. Die Kulturhistorische Schule wird als eine philosophische und theoretische Ebene verstanden, die eine Meta-Ebene über die einzelwissenschaftlichen Disziplinen darstellt.Auf dieser Meta-Ebene finden sich zwei methodologische Prinzipien, das Prinzip des Historischen Herangehens und das Erklärungsprinzip der Tätigkeit.Im Kontext der Kulturhistorischen Schule wird in diesem Band gefragt: Was ist das Menschliche am Menschlichen Lernen? Wie ist dies Menschliche menschlich geworden? In welchen historisch-gesellschaftlichen Etappen hat es sich bis heute entwickelt? Die empirischen Daten, die dieser Studie zugrundliegend sind bereits durchgeführte überwiegend gegenständliche und überwiegend theoretische Studien der einzelwissenschaftlichen Disziplinen.Insgesamt stellt dieser Band sich dabei der Aufgabe die gegenwärtige Arbeitsteilung zwischen Psychologie, Erziehungswissenschaft und Schulpädagogik zu überwinden.

Published: December 2024

Die Grundzüge der kultur-historischen Theorie wurden vor fast 100 Jahren vor allem durch L.S. Vygotskij formuliert, dennoch sind der Tätigkeitsansatz und seine Konkretisierung auf die Theorie der Lerntätigkeit noch jung. Es ist das Verdienst von D.B. El''''konin, V.V. Davydov, J. Lompscher und ihrer Schüler, hier Pionierarbeit geleistet zu haben, wobei eine systematische Darstellung der Theorie der Lerntätigkeit auf der Grundlage der kultur-historischen Theorie und des Tätigkeitsansatzes bislang fehlte.Dieses Defizit zu bearbeiten, ist Anliegen des vorliegenden Bandes. Dabei wird insbesondere gezeigt, wie durch die Anwendung der kultur-historischen Theorie und des Tätigkeitsansatzes auf das Problem des menschlichen Lernens ein Beitrag geleistet werden kann, eine neue Lernkultur (nicht nur) im Unterricht zu entwickeln und zu entfalten.Ausgehend von einer knappen Beantwortung der Fragen nach dem Wesen der kultur- historischen Theorie und der Konzeption der Tätigkeit werden der Zusammenhang von Tätigkeit und Persönlichkeitsentwicklung thematisiert und das Problem menschlichen Lernens und der Lerntätigkeit erläutert. Anschließend rückt das Verhältnis von Lernen und Lehren, vor allem im Zusammenhang mit Schule und Unterricht, in den Mittelpunkt der Analyse: Lehren wird in seiner Funktion als Entwicklungsförderung diskutiert und dargestellt, was es aus Sicht der Theorie der Lerntätigkeit bedeutet, das Lernen zu lernen, Lerntätigkeit im Unterricht auszubilden. Die letzten drei Kapitel versuchen vor allem aktuelle Themen und Problemstellungen wie das Verhältnis von Konstruktivismus und Tätigkeitsansatz in der Pädagogik, die didaktische Analyse und Unterrichtsplanung sowie das Verhältnis von neuer Lernkultur und Neuen Medien aufzugreifen, um Zukunftsperspektiven der Theorieentwicklung deutlich zu machen.

Published: December 2024

Soğuk Savaş’ın sona ermesiyle iki kutuplu dünya düzeni sona ermiş ve bu kutbun bir kanadını oluşturan NATO’nun misyonunu tamamladığı hususu birçok kesim tarafından tartışılır hâle gelmiştir. Ancak terörizmden, enerji güvenliğine kadar birçok konu ortaya çıkan bu düzende NATO’nun yeni görev alanlarını oluşturmuştur. Özellikle ABD tarafından bu misyon güvenlikleştirme politikalarının da etkisiyle tanımlanmaya çalışılmış ve yeni NATO kimliği de bu güvenlik algılamalarına göre şekillenmeye başlamıştır. Örgütün birçok coğrafyada askerî güç uygulamaları ile gerçekleştirdiği enerji güvenliğini devam eden Ukrayna Savaşı da hesaba katılarak Karadeniz’in kuzeyinde ve Hazar bölgesinde gerçekleştirip gerçekleştiremeyeceği sorusuna aranan cevap, bu çalışmanın temel problemini/amacını oluşturmaktadır. Nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden bir durum çalışması şeklinde hazırlanmış çalışmanın belli bölümleri nicel verilerle desteklenmiştir. Çalışmada NATO’nun daha önce birçok coğrafyada enerji güvenliği bağlamında uyguladığı sert güç politikasını anılan bölgelerde, Rusya’nın askerî varlığı, Kırım’ın Rusya lehine yarattığı stratejik avantaj, Türk Boğazları hukuku ve ABD’nin özellikle Hazar’da askerî teşkilatlanmasındaki zafiyetleri gibi nedenlerle uygulayamayacağı yönünde bir sonuca ulaşılmıştır.
Bağımsız İsrail Devleti’nin Kuruluşunun Orta Doğu’daki Etkileri ve 1948-1958 Türkiye-İsrail İlişkileri
Authors: Keskin Ozan , Karakoç Ercan
Published: December 2024

I. Dünya Savaşı ile birlikte Orta Doğu’da yeni bir düzen oluştu. Bu yeni düzenin bir üyesi ise İsrail adında bir Yahudi devletiydi. II. Dünya Savaşı’nın ardından bağımsızlığını kazanan İsrail devleti, Orta Doğu siyaseti için günümüze kadar süren büyük bir kaos oluşturdu. Yeni İsrail devletinin bütün komşuları, düşmanları olan Arap devletlerinden oluşuyordu. İsrail ise bölgedeki yalnızlığını, Müslüman, ama Arap olmayan ülkelerle gidermeye çalıştı. Bu doğrultuda İsrail’in bölgede kendisine en yakın gördüğü ülke ise Türkiye idi. Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nun vârisi olan Türkiye için Soğuk Savaş’ın patlak vermesiyle tek güvenlik sorunu, bölgede herhangi bir komünist devletin veya yapının olmamasıydı. Bu yüzden İsrail ile diplomatik ilişkiler kurmasında herhangi bir beis yoktu. Bu makalede, İsrail’in kuruluş sürecinin Orta Doğu’daki etkilerinin yanı sıra İsrail’i tanıyan ilk Müslüman ülke olan Türkiye’nin niçin böyle bir adım attığı irdelenmiştir. Yapılan literatür taraması ve döküman analizi sonucunda her iki ülkenin de siyasi ve ekonomik nedenlerden dolayı birbirleriyle ilişkilerini geliştirmek zorunda kaldıkları, ancak bu ilişkinin başka iç ve dış politik olaylara yansıdığı gözlenmiştir.

Published: December 2024

Aim of this study is to investigate the dynamics of Pakistan-Poland relations in the eras of geo-economics and geo-culture. Geo-economics refers to the economic dimensions of geopolitical actor influencing economic policies and initiatives in international relations. Analysis of the concept of geo-economics in light of neoliberalism enables the investigator to explore the potential of economic relations between Pakistan and Poland. The geo-culture as another perception combines cross borders cultural communications and interactions between and among the nations. The model of inter-state relations that suggests international cooperation including bilateral relations as viable is also appropriate for evaluation of Pakistan-Poland relations. The potential of cooperation between the two countries remains largely untapped, specifically in the current global geo-economics and geo-cultural backdrops. Author studies the changing aspects of relations between Pakistan and Poland also from historical perceptions as the Pakistan and Poland ties are originated on a solid base providing a durable source of the collaboration in the emerging political and economic environments. The geo-economics and geo-culture eras offer enormous opportunities of cooperation through different means including functional diplomacies enabling both countries to learn from each other experiences in numerous fields.

Seaborne trade, particularly containerized trade, was expected to suffer a significant decline at the outbreak of the coronavirus of the 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Due to the reason that supply chains are obliged to import various items and resources from China to meet consumer demand for commodities such as medical equipment, home office supplies, and computer equipment. As China recovered from months of trade suspension, an imbalance was developed, with the country sending around three containers for every one imported. Furthermore, the container crisis reflects a slowdown and delays in the maritime supply chain because of pandemic-related strains, such as port labor shortages, port congestion (also due to blank sailings), and capacity constraints in the truck and other inland transportation systems. Due to a lack of empty containers, backlog at ports resulted in freight prices surpassing record highs by the end of 2020 and early in 2021. The surge in freight prices was felt in various developing countries, including Africa and Latin America. As a result, shipping and container rates skyrocketed, resulting in prolonged delays for businesses, the total cost of ownership (TOC), and thus the price of commodities. Therefore, this paper emphasizes over repercussions of constraints on the whole maritime supply chain and propose measures for dealing with potential future container shortage.
