NÜZUL SIRASINA GÖRE ŞEFAAT MESELESİ – ŞEFAAT’İN CAHİLİYE PANTEON’UNA UYARLANMASI
Authors: Inam Ahmet
Published: December 2024

Cahiliye döneminin Mekkeli müşrikleri, evreni yaratma eyleminden sonra artık Allah'a -Kâbe'nin İlahı olması dışında- özel bir önem atfetmiyorlardı. Çünkü o dönemde Arapların çoğu dünya hayatının tek hayat olduğuna inanıyordu. Kuran'a göre, zaman (dehr) içinde yok olacaklarına inanıyorlardı ve ahiret inançları yoktu. Bununla birlikte, birkaç Kur'an ayeti, putların ahirette onlar için sağlayacağı şefaat fikrine atıflar içerir. Ahirete inanmayanların taptıkları putların ahirette kendilerine şefaat edeceğini düşünmeleri makul değildir. Bu makalede, çelişkili gibi görünen konuya “açıklık” getirmek amacıyla, şefaatle ilgili ayetler nüzul sırasına göre incelenecek ve Zuhruf Suresi'nin 86. ayetinin nüzul sebebi değerlendirilecektir. Böylece müşriklerin uzun bir zaman diliminden sonra Hazreti Muhammed'in tebliğ ettiği ayetlerden etkilenerek şefaat inancını kendi inanç dünyalarına (panteonlarına) uyarladıkları görülecektir. Ayetleri nüzul sırasına göre incelediğimizde, “şefaati reddeden” ayetlerin Mekkeli müşriklerin şefaat inancına yönelik olduğunu da göreceğiz.

Authors: Li Renjie , Xu Yi , Cheng Tao
Published: December 2024

Purpose: To assess any potential associations between gut microbiota (GM) and aortic aneurysm and cerebral aneurysm in biomechanics (AA and CA). Methods: We performed a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) to assess the causal association between GM and AA, CA. The inverse-variance weighted (IVW) model was used as the main analytical method and was followed by sensitivity analysis, including heterogeneity test, horizontal pleiotropy test, and leave-one-out analysis, to appraise the robustness of the MR results. Results: Our IVW results showed that RuminococcaceaeUCG005 [OR = 1.43, 95% CI (1.17,1.76), P = 0.000] and Roseburia [OR = 1.16, 95% CI (1.00,1.34), P = 0.049] were positively associated with AA, while Prevotella9 [OR = 0.81, 95% CI (0.68,0.96), P = 0.022] and RuminococcaceaeNK4A214 [OR = 0.72, 95% CI (0.57,0.89), P = 0.003] were negative. Meanwhile, we also found that Betaproteobacteria [OR = 1.53, 95% CI (1.08,2.17), P = 0.017], cCoriobacteriaceae [OR = 1.39, 95% CI (1.07,1.80), P = 0.012], Eggerthella [OR = 1.34, 95% CI (1.12,1.61), P = 0.002], Burkholderiales [OR = 1.59, 95% CI (1.11,2.28), P = 0.011], Dorei [OR = 1.19, 95% CI (1.01,1.40), P = 0.038] and Dorea [OR = 1.09, 95% CI (1.00,1.18), P = 0.044] were positively correlated with CA, and there was a negative association between Bifidobacteriales [OR = 0.73, 95% CI (0.57,0.95), P = 0.018] and CA. Sensitivity analysis showed no facts of reverse causality, pleiotropy, and heterogeneity. Conclusions: Our study demonstrates that RuminococcaceaeUCG005 and Roseburia are related to an increased risk of AA, Prevotella9, and RuminococcaceaeNK4A214 can reduce the risk of AA. On the other hand, Coriobacteriaceae, Eggerthella, Burkholderiales, Dorei and Dorea are related to an increased risk of CA, Bifidobacteriales can reduce the risk of CA. In addition, gut microbiota may affect the occurrence of aneurysms through biomechanical mechanisms such as the elasticity and strength of blood vessel walls.
Optimizing physical education movements through biomechanical analysis: A new approach to reducing the risk of sports injuries
Authors: Huo Xianqi
Published: December 2024

Physical education is crucial for fostering student’s health, fitness, and lifetime active behaviors. However, using inappropriate movement skills during Physical activity may raise the risk of sports injuries. Biomechanical analysis is a scientific approach to studying the movement of students that focuses on the forces and mechanics of physical activity. The study’s goal is to develop physical education motions using biomechanical analysis and a deep learning (DL) method to reduce the risk of sports injury. This study proposed a novel turbulent flow of water-based adjustable long-short-term memory (TFW-ALSTM) to classify and predict the high risk of sports injuries. Using advanced motion capture data and biomechanical modeling techniques, the study identifies improper movement patterns that can lead to injury during common physical education activities. The data was preprocessed using normalization and Kalman filters to reduce noise from the data. Discrete wavelet transforms (DWT) to extract the features from preprocessed data. The system offers beneficial suggestions to enhance movement efficiency through biomechanical data analysis. Experimental results reveal that the suggested model achieves accuracy (98.2%), recall (97%), specificity (98.1%), and an F1-Score (98%), particularly in dynamic activities like running and leaping, reducing the risk of injury considerably to compare existing algorithms. The study emphasizes the significance of integrating biomechanical knowledge and prediction models to enhance injury prevention measures in physical education programs. This approach provides educators and coaches with a dependable and effective tool for ensuring safer and more efficient student engagement.

Published: December 2024

The current research examines how a High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) program affects the biomechanical performance of sports science students who just started their university study at Shandong Normal University. The research checked biomechanical changes in 50 students (25 male, 25 female) through a 12-week HIIT program. Before and after the program, tests were run to see changes in their sports abilities. The tests looked at how well students could do physical activities without getting tired, how strong they were in basic exercises like bench press, squat, and deadlift, and how well they could move their body. Some special tests checked their quickness, balance, and hand-eye work. Also, special cameras recorded their movements to see if joints moved better. Test results showed students got much better in all areas after HIIT. The way their body moved also got better, which made them do sports better. Based on these results, HIIT seems to help young sports students get better at physical activities.

Cet article aborde la question du processus d’intégration en Afrique lancée depuis les heures du réveil africain. Il se dégage un constat selon lequel, la réalisation d’une intégration des Etats africains présente plus d‘avantages que d’inconvénients pour le groupe intégré dans son sens original. Mais la réalité africaine nous témoigne un coup raté de l’intégration suite aux obstacles d’ordre politique, économique, idéologique et socioculturel. De ces obstacles, les plus majeurs sont couverts par le nationalisme et le souverainisme africains qui bloquent l’intégration de l‘Afrique dans l’économie mondiale.

Depuis son avènement au pouvoir, la stature d’Erdoğan ne cesse de grandir et de bousculer les équilibres géopolitiques et géostratégiques. Il est devenu dans si peu de temps, l’architecte du nouveau rêve turc. Cette réflexion évoque les aspects précis de la communication diplomatique de Tayyip Erdoğan. Les relations internationales pensées et voulues par les maîtres du monde comme un outil puissant pour régenter les Etats en quête d’une vraie indépendance fixent de codes de bonne conduite qui réduisent certains dirigeants du monde comme les suppôts des maitres du jeu international. Qui a inventé la tournure diplomatique ? Est-ce que tous les dirigeants sont-ils tenus à recourir aux mêmes litotes diplomatiques et aux discours feutres ? Y-a-t-il pas possibilité de voir le monde autrement par de lunettes qui ne sont pas occidentales ? Ces questions certainement ont toujours taraudé la tête d’Erdogan, raison pour laquelle, sur ce point-là, sa personnalité détonne. Ici, il est question de cogiter sur la personnalité de Recep Tayyip Erdogan et sa vision des relations internationales contemporaines. Surtout en ce qui concerne le dossier de l’adhésion de la Turquie en Union Européenne, il souffle le chaud et le froid, prenant la France, l’Allemagne et la Belgique à contre-pied. Ce grand leader fait et défait les alliances sans n’y voir aucune contradiction. Avec Tayyip Erdoğan, les relations entre les Etats sont souvent faites de ruptures et de rabibochages.

CULTURAL INSIGHTS IN LANGUAGE TEACHING FROM LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE PERPECTIVES
Authors: Kaçmaz Ercan , Kutlu Ayten
Published: December 2024

Culture is regarded as an essential component of a society. It encompasses several aspects of human life, including the language, literature, art, attitudes, beliefs, customs, and morals of people who live in the same community and share the same history. The cultures of people living in different societies have their own unique cultures, even if they are somewhat similar to each other. In the same vein, language reflects the culture to which it belongs and differs from one society to another. Language is the most important communication tool that provides social elements of a society. It is best passed down from generation to generation through literature such as poetry, fairy tales, stories, or novels. Literature offers the opportunity to understand the lives, thoughts, and feelings of people from the same culture and society. As mentioned, it is clear that culture, literature, and language are interdependent and cannot be considered separate from each other. Culture is also important for language teaching and cannot be disconnected from one another. From this point, this paper focuses on how language, literature, and culture are interrelated and the role of culture in language teaching.
Control of torsion effects in buildings with extreme torsional irregularity through the use of hysteretic dissipators-SLB
Authors: Manosalva Ingrid Janet Rodas , Alayo José Giussepe Villanueva , Martínez José Alberto Acero
Published: December 2024

Torsional irregularities are one of the main causes of failure in structures during seismic events, which must be considered because they can cause them to collapse. This type of irregularity is included in many seismic codes in the world. In this study, the behaviour of a 7-story building is evaluated, for which 2 types of analyses are carried out separately, one of the methods is defined by the Peruvian code-2018 (E.030-2018), and for the other it was proposed to incorporate a seismic protection system, based on SLB hysteretic heatsinks, using a modal spectral analysis and nonlinear time history. Iterations were carried out to achieve the most effective location of the devices, thus strategically proposing 3 lines of resistance with SLB heatsinks. In this way, only at certain parts of the building that are provided with the use of the devices, will energy absorption and nonlinear behaviour occur. Results of the response history show that with the incorporation of heatsinks the damping is increased, and drifts of the floors are reduced by 60 % and displacements by 70 %. It is concluded that incorporation of these devices controls the effect of extreme torsional behaviour of the structure.
The Vanguard of Grammar: Methodological Foundations of the Young Grammarians Movement and the Leipzig School's Impact
Authors: Aliyeva Lamiya
Published: December 2024

This article examines the historical and methodological significance of the Young Grammarians and the Leipzig School in shaping the field of historical linguistics. Originating in the late 19th century at Leipzig University, the Young Grammarians advocated for a scientific approach to linguistics, emphasizing the regularity of phonetic changes and the applicability of sound laws without exceptions. Their methodologies revolutionized the study of language evolution and laid foundational principles that have persisted in linguistic scholarship. However, their focus on phonetics faced criticism, especially with the rise of structuralism, which argued for a more holistic view of language systems. This paper explores the long-term impacts of the Young Grammarians, the critiques from subsequent linguistic movements, and the modern reevaluation of their approach in contemporary research, integrating both historical context and modern perspectives. It underscores the enduring influence of their work and the necessary expansions made to their methodologies to accommodate new research paradigms in linguistics.

Published: December 2024

The period from 2013 to 2018 in Pakistan was marked by significant political developments and reforms that shaped the nation's trajectory. Methodologically, this research study was qualitative and purely based on secondary data which was collected from the Dawn newspapers of the above mentioned era. Resultantly, it has been found that the beginning with the landmark 2013 general elections, which saw Nawaz Sharif's Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) emerge victorious, the era witnessed a dynamic interplay of electoral contests, constitutional amendments, and geopolitical shifts. The Panama Papers scandal and subsequent Supreme Court verdict disqualifying Nawaz Sharif in 2017 underscored efforts towards accountability and transparency. The introduction of the National Action Plan (NAP) following the 2014 Peshawar school massacre aimed at combating terrorism reflected broader challenges in security and governance. Constitutional reforms such as the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Amendments, along with the merger of FATA with KP, sought to enhance provincial autonomy and address regional disparities. Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) rose to prominence, culminating in its electoral success in 2018 and subsequent formation of government, signaling a shift in political dynamics. Amidst economic challenges and civil-military complexities, these developments highlight Pakistan's ongoing journey towards political stability, democratic consolidation, and socio-economic progress.

İlhanlı Hükümdarı Gazan Han’ın Suriye’de hâkimiyet kurup Akdeniz’e ulaşma arzusu, İlhanlılar ile Memlükleri karşı karşıya getirmiştir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda Gazan Han, kendisine sığınan Memlük emirlerin de etlisi ile Suriye bölgesine üç tane sefer düzenlemiştir. Bu seferlerin ilkinde İlhanlı Ordusu ile Memlük Ordusu arasında meydana gelen Vadi Hazindar Savaşı’nı İlhanlı Ordusu kazanmış ve İlhanlılar Suriye’de kısmi olarak, yüz günlük bir hâkimiyet sağlamışlardır. Daha sonra yapılan ikinci ve üçüncü Suriye seferlerinde ise İlhanlılar bir başarı elde edememişlerdir. Bu mücadele sürecinde İlhanlı Hükümdarı Gazan Han ile Memlük Sultanı el-Melik’ün-Nasır Muhammed b. Kalavun arasında mektuplaşmalar yaşanmıştır. Askeri alanda yapılan mücadele, diplomasi alanında elçiler vasıtası ile devam etmiştir. Taraflar kendi haklılıklarını ispat etmek için karşı tarafı suçlayan deliller öne sürüp iddialarını da ayet ve hadislere dayandırmışlardır. Her iki tarafın da, mektuplar yazılırken ilim ehlinden ve devlet bürokrasisinden istifade ettikleri aşikârdır. Süslü ve edebi bir üslupla yazılan Gazan Han’ın mektubundaki suçlamalara ve iddialara karşılık, Memlük Sultanı el-Melik’ün-Nasır Muhammed, daha da üst seviyede uzun bir mektup yazarak bütün suçlamalara tek tek cevap vermiş ve barıştan yana olduğunu da son olarak ifade etmiştir. Ayrıca tarafların elçilere karşı davranışları ve hediye verilmemesi meselesi dahi karşılıklı olarak sitem edilen konular olmuştur. Çok da parlak ve verimli geçmemiş olan bu mektuplaşma trafiği Gazan Han’ın ölümü ile son bulmuştur. Gazan Han’ın yerine geçen Olcâytû döneminde ise yeni bir süreç başlamıştır. Memlüklü dönemi önemli müelliflerinden biri olan Nüveyri ‘‘Nihâyetü’l-Ereb Fî Fünûni’l-Edeb’’ isimli eserinde bu mektupların metnini paylaşarak günümüze ulaşmasını sağlamıştır. Bu makalede Nüveyri’nin eserindeki mektup metinlerinden yola çıkılarak değerlendirmelerde bulunulmuştur.
Moğol İmparatorluğu Haber Teşkilâtında Tacirlerin Rolü

Published: December 2024

Moğollarda haber alma teşkilâtı Cengiz Han döneminde vücut bulmuş ve ardılları tarafından da geliştirilerek devam etmiştir. Haber alma teşkilâtının temel taşlarından birini de tacirler oluşturmuştur. Tacirler gözlem yetenekleriyle ticaret yaptıkları her bölgenin siyasi, ekonomik ve sosyal durumu hakkında çok önemli bilgiler edinirlerdi. Ticaretleri sebebiyle birçok bölgede temasları bulunuyor, İran’dan Çin’e kadar kervanlarının geçtiği tüm güzergâhları ve yolların durumunu iyi biliyorlardı. Ayrıca halk arasında çok geniş bir yelpazede propaganda yapma imkânına sahiplerdi. Ayrıca okuryazarlık, gittikleri bölgenin dilini konuşma gibi yetenekleri de vardı. Bu nedenlerle Moğollar tacirleri ticari ajan, diplomatik elçi, casus, vergi tahsildarı ve sivil yetkili olarak pek çok alanda kullanmışlardır. Bu dönemde yürürlüğe giren Pax Mongolica’da (Moğol barışı) tacirlerin sadece ticaret yapmalarını kolaylaştırmamış aynı zamanda haber alma sisteminin de güçlenmesini sağlamıştır. 1233 Temmuz tarihli bir imparatorluk kararnamesinde, askeri karargâhtan gelen haberciler ticaret yapan Müslümanlara rastlarsa, tacirlerin işi ne olursa olsun, istasyonlar arasında binmek için atlarına el konulabileceği hükmü konmuştur. Buradan tacirlerin sistemi yoğun bir şekilde kullandıkları, askeri emirlerin akışını engellemedikleri takdirde bunu yapma hakkına sahip oldukları ve diğer resmi gezginler gibi mallarını doğrudan aldıkları açıktır. Moğollarda tacirlerin bunlar dışında diplomatik faaliyetler gösterdiği de bilinmektedir. Ancak tacirlerin kendilerine verilen ayrıcalıkları zamanla kötüye kullanarak tefecilik yapmaları, yüksek faizli borç para verme gibi hadiseler neticesinde bazı yetki kısıtlamalarına gidilmiştir.

This represents an original contribution to the Resource-based view (RBV) theory because it investigates the relationship between Circular Economy Practices (CEP), Organizational green Culture (OGC), and the environmental performance of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the manufacturing sector of Pakistan. It is quantitative research and uses a normal structured survey process of collecting primary data from various SME employees, thus giving us a total sample size of 208. Statistical techniques such as structural equation modeling are used to analyze for positive relationships of the solid and direct constructs and find Circular Economy Practices that significantly influence Organizational Green Culture and Environmental performance. In addition, the results from the study have practical implications for SMEs. Findings from the partial mediation of circularity practices on the relationship between organizational green culture and environmental performance point to the importance of organizational green culture in increasing sustainability outcomes. In addition, the study extends the RBV theory to show how circular economy practices can act as strategic resources to reinforce organizational culture and environmental performance. In light of the above, the paper emphasizes the need to achieve the benefits of circular practices by integrating sustainability into SME core strategies and creating a green organizational culture. With a clearer understanding of the actual costs, SMEs now have a guide to follow for greener operations and to become environmental leaders in environmentally responsible practice.

In the current business world characterized by fierce competition, performance appraisals are integral tools for evaluation of employee performance, feedback provision, and career advancement management. Nevertheless, there has not been adequate research on the effect of performance assessment in influencing employees in the long run, especially on the aspects of creativity and job satisfaction. The study investigates the reason why career development helps mediate the relationship between performance appraisal satisfaction and two important employee outcomes: creative behavior and job satisfaction. Data for the study was collected from a survey of 178 employees selected at random from several FMCG firms, using a structured questionnaire. Data analysis was done using structural equation modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS 3.0, where performance appraisal was found to have a positive effect on career development and that PAS, creative behavior, and job satisfaction related to career development fully mediated the relationships. Particularly, it has been shown that employees who are given appropriate feedback together with career advancements are likely to take part in creative activities and to be content with their jobs. The study explains Self Determination Theory (SDT) which is the theory that focuses the fulfillment of the needs of the source of motivation to the employees which s in most cases considered as their autonomy, competence and connections. The findings of this study indicate that in order to increase creative levels and job satisfaction of employees, organizations need to include constructive performance appraisal procedures together with career development opportunities such as training, mentoring, and career maps. The study underscores the necessity of performance appraisal systems that evaluate performance but also enhance the professional development of employees resulting in improved employee engagement, innovativeness, and overall success of the organization. This study contributes to the literature on performance appraisal satisfaction and its consequences by examining how career development is significant for employees.

Blend fuel is one of the substitute oils for CI engines which are familiar for instantaneous decrease of lubricant oil debris and sound emissions. However, a very small portion of research work was carried out to study the outcome of blend fuel utilization. In this experimental work, two types of blend fuels DF95WCO5 and DF65WCO20Pe15 were selected and compared with diesel fuel. Noise emission is one of the most essential parameter that is affected by fuel used. Fuel blends containing n-pentanol, waste cooking oil, and diesel have gained popularity as a substitute ternary blend for CI engines. Rare investigations on n-pentanol blends have been reported; yet the reduction in noise emission could be significant. In this research, experimental work, deals with the characteristic work on exhaust gas temperature for petroleum diesel blend with waste cooking oil DF95WCO5 as binary and ternary n-pentanol in the proportion of DF65WCO20Pe15. The trials were performed on a single-cylinder water-cooled four-stroke compression-ignition (CI) engine to analyze the abovementioned impact. However, DF65WCO20Pe15 produced some better results when compared to DF. The outcomes coming from the test fuels revealed that the ternary blend DF65WCO20Pe15 of n-pentanol to diesel has caused to reducing the exhaust gas temperature in difference to the petroleum diesel. It is to be observed that the n-pentanol ought to be used as a partial substitute for diesel fuel in the CI engine applications according to the research consequences.
