The Evolution of Landscape Photography: From Humanistic Framing to Posthuman Simulacra
Authors: Zhaoyi GENG
Published: December 2024

This paper explores the evolution of landscape photography from its humanistic origins in the Renaissance to its transformation under the influence of posthuman culture in the digital age. Initially an integral part of artistic and visual representation, landscape photography reflected humanity's epistemological approach to objectifying nature through the "window perspective." With the rise of postmodernism, poststructuralism, and posthumanism, traditional binaries such as authenticity versus falsity and nature versus artificiality have been deconstructed. Landscape photography now embraces simulacra and digital technology-driven expressions. This study examines how artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and other technologies reshape the meaning of landscape photography, and it highlights the aesthetic and critical potential of contemporary works by artists such as Yao Lu and Yang Yongliang within the broader context of visual culture.
Fakihlere Göre Mütevâtir Sünnetin Kısımları
Authors: Aytekin Mehmet Ali
Published: December 2024

Dini hükümlerin tespitinde Hz. Peygamber’den (s.a.s.) rivayet edilen sünnet verileri önemli bir yere sahiptir. Ancak, genel olarak sünnetin gerek sübûtunda gerekse delaletinde zannîliğin söz konusu olması ekoller arasında sünnet verileri üzerinde derin ihtilafları da beraberinde getirmiştir. Bu da zaman içerisinde sünnet verilerinin sübût ve delalet açısından kategorize edilmesini zorunlu kılmıştır. Sübût açısından sünnet, âlimlerin çoğunluğuna göre mütevâtir ve haber-i vâhid diye iki kısımda değerlendirilmiştir. Hanefîler buna üçüncü bir kategori olarak “meşhûr sünneti” de ilave etmişlerdir. Bu üç kategoriden mütevâtir sünnetin, Hz. Peygamber’den sübûtu kesindir, yani bu kapsamda olan sünnetin Hz. Peygamber’e ittisalinde herhangi bir şüphe bulunmamaktadır. Prensipte tüm âlimler bu görüş üzerinde ittifak etmişlerdir. Bununla birlikte mütevâtir sünnet de bakış açısına göre birtakım kategorik ayrımlara tabi tutulmuştur. Bunlardan en yaygın olanı, lafzî mütevâtir ve manevî mütevâtir şeklinde yapılan ikili tasniftir. Ancak fıkhın tarihi sürecinde mütevâtirin lafzî ve manevî ayrımında belli bir evrilmenin yaşandığı, bu evrilmeden dolayı lafzî ve manevî mütevâtire yaklaşımların da farklılık arz ettiği görülmektedir. Bu nedenle çalışmada mütevâtir kavramının maruz kaldığı söz konusu evrilme ve buna bağlı olarak ortaya çıkan farklı yaklaşımlar üzerinde durulmuştur.

Vonoprazan, a first-in-class potassium-competitive acid blocker (P-CAB), represents a significant advancement in the management of acid-related disorders. This novel agent demonstrates rapid, potent, and sustained acid suppression through its unique mechanism of reversibly binding to the gastric H+/K+-ATPase proton pump. Vonoprazan maintains stable inhibition of acid secretion regardless of CYP2C19 polymorphisms, offering advantages over traditional proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). Clinical studies have established its superior efficacy in treating various acid-related conditions, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease, and Helicobacter pylori infection. The drug exhibits remarkable healing rates in erosive esophagitis and maintains long-term remission effectively. In H. pylori eradication therapy, vonoprazan-based regimens have shown higher success rates compared to conventional PPI-based treatments, particularly in areas with high antibiotic resistance. The pharmacokinetic profile of vonoprazan allows for flexible dosing schedules and rapid onset of action, enhancing patient compliance. Safety analyses from long-term studies indicate a favorable tolerability profile, with most adverse events being mild to moderate in severity. The emergence of vonoprazan has expanded therapeutic options for acid-related disorders, particularly benefiting patients who show inadequate response to conventional PPI therapy. Recent data also suggest potential applications in prevention of low-dose aspirin-induced ulcers and management of non-erosive reflux disease (NERD).

The integration of molecular biology and computational technologies has transformed modern drug discovery and development processes. Advanced computational methodologies, particularly artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), have reshaped traditional drug development approaches through unprecedented access to ligand property data, target binding interactions, three-dimensional protein structures, and virtual libraries containing billions of drug-like molecules. AI and deep learning (DL) implementations have enhanced multiple stages of drug discovery, from target identification to lead optimization. These computational advances, backed by improved hardware capabilities and sophisticated algorithms, now enable targeting of previously "undruggable" proteins. This review presents modern computational approaches in pharmaceutical development, including strategies for challenging protein targets through covalent regulation, allosteric inhibition, protein-protein interaction modulation, and targeted protein degradation. AI-driven methods have accelerated drug discovery pipelines, reduced development costs, and improved clinical trial success rates. The transition from traditional broad-spectrum approaches to precision medicine, supported by computational tools, has enabled personalized therapeutic strategies. Current limitations in computer-aided drug design persist, yet the combination of computational predictions with experimental validation continues to advance therapeutic development. Recent developments in quantum computing and advanced neural networks promise to further enhance drug discovery efficiency and success rates in the coming decades.

Authors: Akmad Abusailan , Abatayo Ariadna Victoria L.
Published: December 2024

Cohabitation, defined as two individuals living together without marriage, is increasingly prevalent, particularly in the Philippines. This study employs a quantitative research methodology to analyze the relationship dynamics of cohabiting couples in General Santos City. Utilizing a descriptive correlation design, data were collected from 60 randomly selected cohabiting couples through adapted survey questionnaires. The study explores how cohabitation impacts relationship satisfaction and stability, addressing questions regarding various cohabitation statuses and their influence on relationship dynamics. Results indicate that cohabiting couples report high satisfaction levels, with an aggregated mean score of 3.58, suggesting that their experiences are comparable to those of married couples. Furthermore, a significant positive correlation (r = 0.323**) was found between cohabitation status and relationship dynamics (p = 0.000), indicating that while cohabitation is not the sole determinant of relationship quality, it significantly shapes couple interactions and support mechanisms. The findings align with existing literature highlighting the dual nature of cohabitation; while it can enhance intimacy and shared experiences, it also introduces challenges related to commitment and shared responsibilities. The study concludes that understanding the complexities of cohabitation is essential for promoting relationship stability among couples. Recommendations for future research include exploring factors contributing to initial satisfaction levels and developing community support programs tailored for cohabiting couples to enhance their long-term relationship quality.
JUSTIÇA RESTAURATIVA PARA ADOLESCENTES EM CONFLITO COM A LEI: UMA ANÁLISE DO RACISMO INSTITUCIONAL E O PAPEL TRANSFORMADOR DA EDUCAÇÃO.

This study aims to explore restorative justice as an alternative to the traditional criminal justice system, focusing on the reality of adolescents in conflict with the law. We analyze how social and economic factors such as poverty, lack of access to education, social exclusion, and institutional racism influence the delinquent behavior of these young people. To support the discussion, we draw on the contributions of Silvio Luiz de Almeida, who, in Racismo Estrutural (2020), demonstrates how racism is embedded in institutions and directly impacts the lives of vulnerable youth, and Darcy Ribeiro, whose works reveal how historical and social exclusions have shaped inequalities in Brazil. The research is also based on the guidelines of the Statute of the Child and Adolescent and Law No. 12,594/2012, which established the National SocioEducational Service System (Sinase). Within this context, we explore how restorative justice can offer a more inclusive approach, grounded in collaboration, consensus, and the repair of harm, rather than focusing solely on punishment. We believe that this practice can not only repair the harm caused by young offenders but also deconstruct discriminatory and exclusionary practices, such as institutional racism. Authors like Wilton Bisi Leonel and Leonardo Sica reinforce the idea that it is possible to transform the justice system by shifting from a punitive focus to one of reconciliation and repair. For this transformation to happen, we argue that the implementation of restorative justice should be accompanied by integrated public policies, with an emphasis on education, professional training, and psychosocial support. This proposal aligns with the ideas of Paulo Freire, who stresses the importance of dialogue and awareness as essential tools for transforming social relations and building a more just and equal society.
