Buildings for Higher Education in Africa
Authors: Uduku Ola , Manful Kuukuwa
Published: December 2023

Access to formal education has long been considered essential to progress by people in Africa. The design and building of educational institutions were also an important part of the post-war modernism construction boom around the world and on the African continent, coinciding with post-independence nation-building. From the 1940s through to the early 1970s, ambitious nations from Algeria to Zimbabwe invested in universities and higher educational buildings as both literal and physical centers of intellectual advancement for their nations’ youth in that jubilant era, heralding freedom from colonization and the emergence of self-rule.More than half a century later, these edifices borne of hope and expectation have generally stood the test of time and remain recognizable features in many African cities and landscape settings. How these structures have fared architecturally and how they have been adapted or incorporated into contemporary life varies by country, institution, and socio-political context: an important subject to be studied. As the provision of educational buildings is still important to African nations and is part of the global sustainable development goals, what better time to revisit those purpose-built institutions in a time of hope and exuberance? Especially as their relevance remains critical to the development of Africa’s best and brilliant young minds?This special issue of the Docomomo Journal focuses on educational institutions, particularly universities and other higher educational establishments built in Africa from the late 1940s to the 1970s, as instances of shared’ social, political, cultural, economic, and architectural heritage. This architectural heritage has been shared through actions of coercion, co-option, and co-operation between various proximal African countries, former colonial powers, and contemporary socio-economic partners. Many contributions are linked to the Shared Heritage Africa (SHA) Project—funded by the German Foreign Ministry (Auswärtiges Amt)—, which focused on the documentary rediscovery of modern university campuses as examples of cultural landscapes from the period of independence from colonial rule.

Lack of physical exercise and inadequate nutritional intake in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients could lead to low muscle mass and function, which causes reduced respiratory function, increased incidence of exacerbations, exercise intolerance, increased visits to health facilities, and low health status. Therefore, physical exercise and good nutritional intake are the main foundations of a comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation program for COPD patients. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of chicken egg white supplementation on dyspnea degree and the incidence of exacerbations in stable COPD patients who perform physical exercise independently at home. A quasi-experimental study was conducted in 38 stable COPD patients based on the Global Initiative for Chronic Lung Disease (GOLD) 2021 classification criteria. The patients were divided into two groups: the control group who did smartphone application-assisted physical exercises and the intervention group who did the same physical exercises plus chicken egg white supplementation for 12 weeks. Performed physical exercises included both strength and endurance training. The degree of dyspnea was assessed with modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnea scale and the incidence of exacerbations was assessed by direct interviews at the beginning and at the end of the intervention. A Fisher’s exact test was used to assess the association between the intervention with dyspnea degree and exacerbation incidence. In the intervention group, chicken egg white supplementation for 12 weeks lowered the dyspnea degree by 3.16 times than the control (relative risk 3.16 with p=0.001). Furthermore, the incidence of exacerbations was also reduced by 1.8 times compared to the control group (relative risk 1.8, p=0.001). This study highlights a significant improvement in dyspnea degree and exacerbation incidence in COPD patients with the combination of protein supplementation and physical exercise. Therefore, adding chicken egg white intake could be beneficial for stable COPD patients practicing physical exercises.

Authors: SY Obadiah , SO Elkanah , DB Lipana
Published: December 2023

Malaria infections are co-endemic throughout most of the tropical and sub-Saharan Africa and present a major threat to public health. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of malaria co-infection in pregnant women attending antenatal clinics in Jalingo and Takum Local government Areas, Taraba State, Nigeria. The study was conducted in Jalingo and Takum Local Governments Areas between September, 2018 to December 2018. A total of five hundred and twenty (520) pregnant women were screened on antenatal day. Prepared thick films using Giemsa staining technique were examined microscopically for the presence of malaria parasites. A questionnaire was also prepared to collect demographic data and some risk factors. The prevalence of Malaria in Jalingo( 75.6%) and Takum (79.5% ). Malaria infection based on age distribution showed that age group 31-35 had the highest malaria infection (83.6%) while age group < 41 had the least malaria infection (56.5%). This result showed no significant difference between age distribution of malaria Infection based on educational status showed those without Formal Education had the highest prevalence (88.8%) and (19.4%) for Malaria. Occupational related prevalence showed that Traders had the highest prevalence of (86%) and (17.2%) for Malaria χ2= 10.346 (P.>0.5). pregnancy status also showed varied infection rates , those in their first trimester had the highest prevalence( 84.2%) for Malaria but there was no significant difference (P>0.5) between pregnancy status. There was also a significant difference in infection between blood group and Malaria, blood group Ohad the highest prevalence of (90.9%). Association between infection and some risk factors showed that malaria infection is significantly related to fleeting of room with insecticide (O. R= 1.285,), Receive blood transfussion. (O. R=1.645), presences of stagnant water (O. R= 1.170), Malaria control in pregnancy is necessary so as to reduce the incidence of adverse pregnancy complications. The use of long lasting insecticide treated nets should be intensified.

Readiness to Face Death in Elderly in Nursing Homes, Indonesia
Authors: Royani Cahya , . Herdian
Published: December 2023

This qualitative research employs a phenomenological approach to investigate the readiness of elderly individuals to confront death. The study focuses on five elderly, aged 65 and above, residing in an elderly orphanage in Central Java, Indonesia. Data collection involved in-depth interviews guided by considerations of spiritual, social, psychological, and physical aspects. The analysis reveals multifaceted dimensions of psychological readiness among these elderly residents.
The informants emphasize the importance of acknowledging the inevitability of death as a fundamental aspect of their life journey, providing them with a unique perspective on mortality. They find meaning in their lives, fostering a sense of fulfillment and completeness, and contemplate the possibility of an afterlife, which offers comfort and solace. Importantly, they express a remarkable lack of fear when facing death, demonstrating a profound acceptance and equanimity. Religious and spiritual practices, particularly worship, play a pivotal role in providing comfort and tranquility.
This study's findings align with previous research and highlight the significance of life satisfaction, spirituality, and social connections in shaping elderly individuals' readiness to confront death. Additionally, physical well-being is recognized as a vital component of overall happiness in the context of aging. These insights shed light on the complex interplay of beliefs, meaning, and acceptance that contribute to the psychological readiness of elderly individuals to face the certainty of death.

Published: December 2023

This study is aimed to compare the clinical and radiological differences between classic locked intra- medullary nailing ( LIN) and blade expandable intra- medullary nailing (BEIN) at tibia shaft fractures. Operation time, exposing of radiation time and fracture healing times were recorded. Pain visual anolog scale (VAS), shortening of tibia and angulation of fracture line were compared. All patients healed. In LIN group operation time, exposing of radiation time was longer (statistically significant). Because of shorter operation time and lower radiation exposure we recommend the BEIN technique as a preferable technique in tibia intramedullary nailing.
Klasik Dönem Osmanlı İlimler Tasnifinde Bitki-Bilimi ve Tanımları
Authors: KOCABAŞ Osman Süreyya
Published: December 2023

Bu çalışmada Osmanlıların bilim tanımlarından yola çıkarak gerek doğa felsefesi gerek bitkiler özelinde ne tür bir bilim sistemine sahip olduğu ortaya çıkarılmak istenmiştir. Bilimler tasnifi, içinde bulunduğu kültürün paradigmasını yansıtmaktadır. Bu tasniflerde sadece bilimlerin tanımları yer almamakla birlikte bilimlerin hangi konularla ilgilendiği, sorularının ne olduğu, ilkeleri ve epistemolojik araç ve metotları belirlenmiştir. Haliyle bir bilgi veya veri bu tasnife göre hangi bilimin konusu veya sorusunun cevabı olduğu ortaya çıkar. Ayrıca bu tasnifler bilimler arasında hiyerarşiyi ve önem sıralarını da gösterir. Özellikle herhangi bir ilim dalında okuma yapmak isteyenler için bir yol haritası sunar. Bu tasnif geleneği Osmanlı literatüründe de kendisine yer bulmuştur. Osmanlılar, Orta Çağ İslam mirasını devralırken bu literatür geleneğini de kendilerine adapte etmişlerdir. Bu tasniflere göre doğada olan varlıklar, “fizik” ilmi disiplini çerçevesinde incelemeye tabi tutulmuştur. Bu minvalde bitkiler de o dönemde de doğada var olan varlıklar olduğu için fizik ilminin altında yer alan bitki-bilimi (ilm-i nebāt) çerçevesinde incelenmiştir. Ayrıca o dönemde bitkilere yönelik araştırmalar ziraat bilimi ve tıp biliminin içinde de yer almaktadır. Böylece bu çalışmada Osmanlıların bitkilere dair araştırmalarını hangi bilim dalı çerçevesinde yaptığı tespit edilmiş olacaktır. Bu çalışmada Osmanlıların bitkilere dair teorik çalışma ve tartışmalardan daha çok bitkilerin kullanımını araştırmışlardır.
Nöroekonomi ve Vergi: Literatür İncelemesi
Authors: ÖZDEMİR Hakan
Published: December 2023

Gelişen teknoloji, hayatımızı bir bütün olarak değiştirmekle birlikte birçok bilim alanını ve araştırma yöntemlerini derinden etkilemiştir. Bunun bir yansıması olarak salt rasyonelliğe odaklanan iktisat ve maliye gibi bilimler de bu değişimden payını almıştır. İnsan vücudunu tarayan ve görüntüleyen teknolojilerin gelişmesi ve nöroloji, psikoloji gibi bilim alanlarının diğer bilimlerle olan bağlantısının daha baskın bir şekilde kabul edilmesi, özellikle ekonomi alanında paradigma dönüşümüne yol açmaktadır. Artık neoklasik görüşün temelini oluşturan ve kişisel çıkarı temel alan homo economicus kavramından insanların karar verme süreçlerinde nörolojik faktörlerin etkili olabileceğini değerlendiren nöroekonomi kavramına bir geçiş süreci yaşanmaktadır. Nöroekonomi, insanların nasıl karar verdiklerini incelemek için bilişsel psikoloji, ekonomi ve nörobiyolojiyi birleştiren disiplinlerarası bir yaklaşımdır. Bu yaklaşımın temel özelliği, karar alma süreçlerini araştırırken nörolojik süreçlerin ön planda tutulmasıdır. Vergiye ilişkin çalışmaların bir bölümü mükellef davranışlarını konu almakta ve bakıldığında nöroekonominin temel aldığı yaklaşımla bazı noktalarda benzeşmektedir. Bu çalışmada, nöroekonomi yaklaşımının ne olduğuna, temellerine ve kullandığı yöntemlere ilişkin bilgilere yer verilmiş, bu yaklaşımın nasıl kullanıldığına ve vergi alanındaki çalışmalarda ne şekilde kullanılabileceğine ilişkin değerlendirmelerde bulunulmuştur.

Authors: YAĞIŞ Onur
Published: December 2023

Ekonomik büyüme, ülke ekonomisinin üretim hacmindeki uzun vadeli genişleme şeklinde tanımlanabilmektedir. Ekonomik büyüme kavramı tarih boyunca farklı faktörler ile birlikte incelenmiştir. Bu faktörlerden birisi de sanayileşmedir. Sanayi sektörü ekonomilerin kalkınma ve büyümeleri bakımından en önemli sektörlerden bir tanesidir. Bu çalışmada Türkiye’de sanayileşmenin ekonomik büyümeye etkileri 1968-2022 dönemi yıllık verileri kullanılarak incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Sanayileşme tarihsel süreçte kalkınma ve ekonomik büyümenin gelişmesine katkı sağlamıştır. Sanayi sektörü istihdam ve üretimi gerçekleştirilen malların ihraç edilmesine katkı sağlayarak büyümenin artmasına katkı sağlamaktadır. Sanayi sektörünün GSMH içerisinde meydana getirebileceği pozitif yansımalar ekonomik büyümenin artmasına katkı sağlayabilecek bi diğer unsurdur. Bu nedenle Türkiye için yapılan bu çalışmada sanayileşmenin ekonomik büyüme üzerindeki etkileri ARDL sınır testi ekonometrik yöntemi ile uygulamalı olarak analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, sanayileşme ile ekonomik büyüme arasında kısa ve uzun dönemde istatiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Bu bağlamda ele alınan yıllar içerisinde, ekonomik büyümeye sanayileşmenin kısa ve uzun dönemde katkı sağladığını söylemek mümkündür.
Women’s Literacy and Literature in Korean ‘Cheongi’(傳奇) Novel
Authors:   The Society Of Korean Literature, Choi Ji Nyeo
Published: December 2023

The male and female main characters of the Korean Cheongi novel are depicted as people with excellent ability of classical literature and composing poems, as they reveal their emotions and identity through literature and further form a mental bond with their lovers. However, considering the reality of women in Joseon Dynasty who lacked opportunities to be educated and trained for writing compared to men, these characters can be said to be somewhat unrealistic. In Cheongi novel, female characters and their surrounding environments are elaborately set so that women can have literacy and literary capabilities to secure novel probability. The status of heroins can be largely divided into noble class and middle and lower class. They were daughters of wealthy prestigious families, court ladies or Kisaeng(妓生) and all belonged to a small group of women who could access to literary arts in Joseon Dynasty. The experience and situation of female characters described in the novel also help the reader’s understanding of their literacy and literature. In the late Joseon Dynasty, the narrative role of literary works in Cheongi novel gradually weakens and the status of female characters are confined to middle and lower classes. Literacy and literature of female characters develop in a way that reflects the language environment based on classes, beyond the traditional custom of the genre.
A Study on a Female Protagonist’s Suicide Attempts in Ogwonjaehapgiyeon
Authors:   The Society Of Korean Literature, Cho Haejin
Published: December 2023

This study investigates a female protagonist’s suicide attempts in Ogwonjaehapgiyeon, a work of fiction written in the late Joseon Dynasty. So far, one of the most interesting points in the work involves a female protagonist who tried to kill herself six times but survived. Nevertheless, her suicide attempts in fiction have not been structurally analyzed.
I examined scenes and the corresponding meanings of the protagonist’s suicide attempts in Ogwonjaehapgiyeon. Hyeonyeong, the character who attempted suicide six times, was saved by other people such as a nanny, a character from Tang chuanqi named Liuyizhuan, a historical character, a widow, and father-in-law. She finally decided to live as they persuaded her to stop killing herself by suggesting other options.
Many widows killed themselves when their husbands contracted fatal illnesses in 18-19th century Korea, a phenomenon that can be said to have resulted from oppression by the patriarchy. Ogwonjaehapgiyeon focused the debates on chastity between Hyeonyeong and the other people, making the narrative interesting. Also, the work asserted that people should not recommend that widows take their own lives.
Compilation of the Chinese Dongkuk Gisa Book Lists by Intellectuals in the Late Joseon Dynasty -Focusing on Lee Deok-moo, Han Chi-yoon, and Lee Kyu-kyung-
Authors:   The Society Of Korean Literature, Jin Lihua
Published: December 2023

This paper focused on three Chinese Dongkuk Gisa book lists compiled by intellectuals in the late Joseon Dynasty. Lee Deok-moo(李德懋)’s Hwaingi Dongsa(華人記東事), Han Chi-yoon(韓致奫)’s Dongguk Gisa(東國記事) and Lee Kyu-kyung(李圭景)’s Jungwon Gi Dongsa(中原記東事) contain specialized books on the Korean Peninsula compiled by Chinese intellectuals. Lee Deok-moo’s Hwaingigidongsa contained 22 kinds of books, and Han Chi-yoon’s Dongguk Gisa collected 59 kinds of books. Lee Kyu-kyung’s Jungwon Gi Dongsa contained 23 kinds of books and inherited the contents of Lee Deok-moo’s books.
Re-segmenting the literature contained in these books identifies the types of Korean Peninsula encyclopedia, administrative records and observations, books related to the institution of the Korean Peninsula, books on the art of war, poetry collections, and history books. And if you look at the narrative system, it can be said that Lee Deok-moo’s book list belongs to the Joseon-centered narrative system. Han Chi-yoon and Lee Kyu-kyung’s book list showed efforts to objectify their perception of their country in the East Asian Chinese character civilization beyond the Joseon-centered narrative system and can be said to belong to an objective narrative system.
Through these three book lists, it was possible to see the process of intellectuals in the late Joseon Dynasty building an objective narrative system for their country. On the other hand, the collection of Chinese Dongkuk Gisa book lists written by Joseon intellectuals will be evaluated as valuable data showing their own perception and data that can help us explore the origin of the establishment of Korean studies in China.
Moderating Role of Corporate Social Responsibility for the Effect of Managerial Ability on Financial Performance: Evidence from an Emerging Economy
Authors: Anam Ashiq, Zhang Guoxing, Aftab Hussain Tabasam
Published: December 2023

The present study endeavours to examine the moderating role of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the interaction between managerial ability (M.A.) and firm performance (F.P.). For estimation, the study analysed an unbalanced panel of 219 non-financial listed firms on the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) for 2008-2021. Fixed effect regression with robust standard errors clustered at the firm level is applied to address the concerns of heteroscedasticity and autocorrelation. Findings show that overall managerial ability enhances firm performance. Furthermore, research has established a positive correlation between CSR and a company's financial performance. In addition, the interaction between M.A. and CSR has a substantial positive correlation with F.P. The results reveal that CSR positively moderates the linkage between M.A. and F.P. and behaves as a complement. The ongoing research is limited to the non-financial sector; however, the study findings are unquestionably valuable for corporate investors and managers in the context of developing economies.
Transition from prison for people with intellectual disability: A qualitative study of service professionals
Authors: Young Jesse , van Dooren Kate , Claudio Fernanda , Cumming Craig , Lennox Nick
Published: December 2023

People with intellectual disability face a range of challenges on their release from prison due both to their own needs and the complexity of the service delivery system, which can make effective service delivery difficult. This difficulty is exacerbated by the sometimes combative nature of relationships between service providers. These issues could be addressed, at least in part, by improved training and stricter guidelines for those working in the sector. Representatives of disability and justice-related agencies in Queensland and Western Australia were interviewed for this research. The findings will be useful to policymakers and those who work in corrections, disability support and related sectors.
Proposals for a strategic segmentation of the green market

Published: December 2023

The increasing ecological concern and the need to attend to the new ecological demand, oblige enterprises to develop analysis tools in order to know better to the ecological consumer. The market segmentation is a valid tool to find differences among ecological consumers, and it allows the enterprise to adecue the marketing strategy to the preferences of the detected segments. In this paper we analyse the limitations of traditional criteria of segmentation and the advantages of multicriteria segmentation to define the complexity of the ecological consumer and the marketing mix strategy. We also show some of the most relevant segmentations of the ecological market.
The commercial research like basic instrument for the knowledge of the attitudes of the electorate: an empirical study in the University of the Basque Country

Published: December 2023

Today, any political party should use professional marketing tools to analyse its market and to position itself. Therefore, the role of marketing research is fundamental, because it allows to analyse the voters' needs and desires, so that the party can adopt the appropriate strategy to satisfy them. In this article, we are trying to point out the importance of marketing research in political marketing. For that purpose, we studied the behaviour of a student-sample of the second cycle of the bachelor of business administration at the School of Economics and Business Administration of Bilbao. In this study, we've analysed the particularities of behaviour and political attitude of the studied group. Some of the elements that make a distinction between the studied group opinion are their sex, their residence area and their parents' origin. In the study, the relationship between these classification variables and the analysed matters are collected.
A specific case in tourism marketing: Rural tourism in the Basque Country
Authors:   Universidad del País Vasco (UPV/EHU), Mediano Serrano Lucía
Published: December 2023

Rural tourism in the Basque Country, which began in 1988, is a way of tourism developed in the rural environment. It develops in agrarian exploitations, and it's leaded by farmers, who combine their traditional activity with giving another services. Marketing application in this kind of tourism has been very limited, and it's been directed by Autonomic Administration. Since 1999, the Basque Association of Agrarian Tourism Exploitations Owners, «Nekazalturismoa», has the challenge of impulsing this activity, in which, the consumer orientation has the priority in order to be competitive. All of that must be done respecting the social, cultural and economic environment. Also, to reach this objective, all the participants, both public and private institutions, have to work together in marketing and management subjects.
Intercambio gaseoso de especies agrícolas nativas de La Mojana ante el aumento de temperatura y de CO2

La mayoría de los expertos que estudian las tendencias de las variaciones del clima coinciden en que los niveles de la temperatura y del CO2 registran un aumento atípico y sostenido en los últimos años. El efecto se sentirá en todos los sectores de la economía mundial, pero en los sistemas productivos de los pequeños agricultores, dada su alta vulnerabilidad, podría tener especial impacto. Considerando que la mayoría de los estudios en esta área se realizan midiendo el efecto individual de algunas variables, en el presente trabajo se evaluó el efecto simulado que causarían niveles elevados de temperatura (28, 30 y 32 °C) y de concentraciones de CO2 (380 y 420 μmol mol-1) sobre aspectos fotosintéticos importantes de algunas especies nativas de los pequeños productores de La Mojana, Colombia (punto de saturación de luz [PSL], punto de compensación de luz [PCL], tasa de fotosíntesis neta máxima [ANmax] y tasa de respiración en oscuridad [Ro]). Las especies se agruparon como hortalizas (ahuyama criolla, berenjena criolla y fríjol caupí), transitorias (arroz chombo, arroz bogotano y arroz LV) y perennes (café, roble y cacao). Los resultados más relevantes indicaron que tanto en concentraciones normales como altas de CO2, la temperatura afectaría las principales respuestas fotosintéticas de las especies. Las respuestas fotosintéticas de las especies hortícolas, a excepción de la ahuyama, se verían afectadas si la temperatura subiera a 30 y 32 °C en cualquiera de los dos escenarios simulados de CO2 ambiental. El comportamiento de las tres variedades de arroz fue diferencial, y el arroz bogotano y el arroz LV fueron relativamente tolerantes a temperaturas altas en condiciones normales o aumentadas de CO2, pero el arroz chombo sería más sensible a las altas temperaturas. En el grupo de las especies perennes, el café y el cacao fueron más sensibles y se afectarían principalmente ante temperaturas elevadas, en tanto que el roble no se vería afectado por las temperaturas con las concentraciones actuales de CO2 ambiental.
Los profesionales forestales y la inteligencia de las plantas
Authors: Arce Rojas Rodrigo Severo
Published: December 2023

El presente artículo revisa las relaciones existentes entre las acciones de los profesionales forestales y el emergente campo del conocimiento acerca de la inteligencia de las plantas. Múltiples son las disciplinas académicas que han sustentado la inteligencia de las plantas desde el siglo XIX, pero no ha sido sino desde inicios del XXI que los ingenieros forestales del Perú y Latinoamérica han empezado a contribuir al conocimiento de la inteligencia y sensibilidad de estos seres. Independientemente de los grados que puedan presentar capacidades de este orden en las plantas, es importante revisar la relación entre estas y los profesionales forestales en el marco de una ética biocultural en calidad de cohabitantes de la Tierra. Por tanto, el objetivo del artículo es sensibilizar a la comunidad latinoamericana dedicada a la profesión forestal sobre la importancia del reconocimiento del valor intrínseco de la vida en los bosques, más allá del aprovechamiento utilitarista. Para el efecto se realiza una revisión bibliográfica de documentos especializados, bajo un enfoque cualitativo descriptivo; y se concluye que, aunque existe un fuerte consenso en la comunidad científica especializada en las plantas y en la filosofía vegetal sobre las características de la inteligencia y sensibilidad de estas, todavía hay resistencias en sectores de la academia, y especialmente entre los profesionales forestales que aún inscriben en el marco del antropocentrismo y el mercantilismo. Esta actitud ha sido reforzada por la institucionalidad forestal internacional y los marcos normativos nacionales con elementos que niegan o subestiman el valor intrínseco de la vida no humana o más que humana en los bosques.

Published: December 2023

In this study, it was aimed to determine the antimicrobial activity of sumac (Rhus coriaria L.) fruits naturally grown in Kilis region and frequently used in the food of the people and to make antibiograms of the used pathogens. The antimicrobial activity of ethanol, methanol, water and petroleum ether extracts of Sumac (Rhus coriaria L.) fruits was investigated. The antimicrobial effect of the obtained extracts was tested on Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas spp., Bacterial strains and Penicillium thomi and Aspergillus parasiticus fungi according to disk diffusion method. Antibacterial effects of extracts of Rhus coriaria L. fruits with different solvents on different test microorganisms were measured by disc diffusion method. In the study, it was determined that the bacteria used were susceptible / resistant to various antibiotic discs, and that the ethanol extract from the microorganisms used had a maximum effect of 33 mm on the S. aureus strain. Methanol extracts (10-30 mm) of the fungi used were found to be more effective. It has been observed that petroleum ether extracts do not act against the microorganisms used. In general, it has been determined that there is antimicrobial property and protective effect against microorganisms as a natural product. Sumac is a natural food substance abundantly consumed in the region according to other regions. Consideration of commercial dimensions around the world is considered to be an important source of income in the development of our country.

Bu çalışmada bipartite ağlar üzerinde modellenebilen tüm ağlardaki maksimum akış probleminin çözümü gerçekleştirilmiştir. Maksimum flow problemi bir ağ üzerindeki source ve sink düğümleri arasında ulaşılan maksimum akış kapasitesini ifade etmektedir. Maksimum flow probleminin çözümü için farklı yaklaşım türleri mevcuttur. Bu popüler yöntemlerden bir tanesi eşleştirme(matching) yöntemleridir. Bu çalışmada bipartite çizge türlerine yönelik maksimum akış değerleri hesaplanması hedeflenmiştir. Çözüm için bipartite çizgelerde optimum matching sonuçlarını veren Malatya Matching algoritması(MMA) kullanılmıştır. MMA ağırlıksız bipartite çizge türlerinde optimum sonucu vermektedir. Bu çalışmada Erdos reyni model ile üretilen ağırlıksız rastgele bipartite çizgelerde uygulama gerçekleştirilmiş ve optimum sonuçlara ulaşılmıştır. Algoritmanın uygulanması ve ağların tasarlanmasında R programlama dili ve igraph kütüphanesi kullanılmıştır.
Derin Öğrenme Tabanlı Görüntü Sınıflandırma Yaklaşımı ile Borsa İstanbul 100 Endeks Yönünün Tahmini

Published: December 2023

Borsa endeksleri, genel ekonomik performansı yansıttıkları için yatırımcılar tarafından yatırım kararları alırken önemli bir referans olarak kullanılırlar. Ayrıca, portföy yönetim şirketlerinin endeksleri replike eden yatırım fonları, hisse senetleri gibi gerçek zamanlı olarak alınıp satılabilir. Bu nedenle, borsa endeksinin gelecekteki yönünü tahmin etmek, yatırımcılar için kritik bir öneme sahiptir. Bu çalışmada, Borsa İstanbul 100 (BIST100) endeksinin yön tahmininde derin öğrenme tabanlı bir görüntü sınıflandırma yaklaşımı önerilmiştir. İlk olarak, günlük BIST100 endeks değerleri bir sonraki günün endeks değeri ile karşılaştırılarak yukarı ve aşağı şeklinde etiketlendi. Etiketlenen veriler daha sonra teknik analiz göstergeleri kullanılarak grafik görüntülerine dönüştürüldü. Tahmin modeli için, ön-eğitimli evrişimsel sinir ağı (CNN) modelleri olan AlexNet, GoogLeNet ve ResNet-50, problemle uyumlu hale getirilmek üzere ince ayarlandı. Eğitim dışı bırakılan üç yıllık dönem boyunca ince-ayarlama yapılmış AlexNet, GoogLeNet ve ResNet-50 modelleri sırasıyla %54,22, %53,01 ve %54,62 doğruluk değerleri ile BIST100 endeks yönünü tahmin edebilmiştir. Ayrıca, modellerin performansını değerlendirmek için Naive karşılaştırma yöntemi kullanıldı. Deneysel sonuçlar, ince ayarlı her üç CNN modelinin Naive karşılaştırma yönteminden daha iyi sonuçlar elde ettiğini göstermektedir.

BACKGROUND

In the field of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for the treatment of hallux valgus (HV), different techniques have begun to emerge in the literature concerning the distal osteotomy of the first metatarsal bone, the synthesis or not of the metatarsal head, the possible association with lateral soft tissues release (LSTR) and osteotomy of the base of the first phalanx.

AIM

To evaluate the role of LSTR on percutaneous HV correction, evaluating functional and radiographical results.

METHODS

From January 2012 to May 2016 a total of 396 patients with mild to moderate symptomatic HV treated with the MIS technique were included in this retrospective study. The technique provides no internal fixation (WOS). Patients were divided into the LSTR group and no LSTR group (LSTR N). This surgical procedure (LSTR) was reserved for insufficient HV angle (HVA) correction during fluoroscopic control. Patients were evaluated at each follow-up by two other authors after appropriate training by senior authors (first practitioners). Clinical evaluation was performed before surgery, 6 mo after surgery, and 48 mo follow-up. American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) and visual analog scale (VAS) score was used to evaluate pain and function, and complications were recorded. In addition, the incidence of relapses and the degree of joint range of motion (ROM) with the association with the LSTR (capsule, adductor tendon, phalanx-sesamoid ligament, and the deep transverse metatarsal ligament) were evaluated. Radiological parameters included HVA and intermetatarsal angle (IMA). Patient satisfaction was assessed. Student t -test and Fisher exact test were used to assess statistical analysis.

RESULTS

From our study it is clear that no differences in term of HVA, VAS, IMA correction, rate of complications, and AOFAS score were found between groups, while a significant improvement of the same variables was found in each group between pre and postoperative values. A significant improvement in ROM at 6 mo (P = 0.018) and 48 mo (P = 0.02) of follow-up was found in LSTR N group. Complications were rare in both groups.

CONCLUSION

LSTR procedure on percutaneous HV correction seems to increase postoperative joint stiffness with a comparable incidence of relapse and a low incidence of complications.

A sistematização do racismo em “O Avesso da Pele”, de Jeferson Tenório
Authors: Zimmermann Jian Marcel
Published: December 2023

A produção literária brasileira contemporânea é heterogênea, tanto do ponto de vista temático como estrutural, e, partindo desta premissa, o presente estudo visa analisar a abordagem das práticas de alguns de seus temas mais recorrentes: racismo, discriminação e preconceito racial; na obra “O avesso da Pele”, de Jeferson Tenório, publicado em 2020. Para tal fim, utilizamos um corpo teórico que, além de refletir com profundidade sobre a matéria, apresenta uma sistematização dos conceitos, cuja aplicação ao texto literário será o fulcro central da análise. Neste sentido, valemo-nos das definições de Achille Mbembe, Frantz Fanon, Lélia Gonzales e Sílvio Almeida. Entretanto, não nos eximimos das análises artístico/literárias, pois verificamos que, além de tratar com solidez de problemas sociais sérios em nossa sociedade, o romance em questão é um objeto estético de grande valia pois, dentre outros méritos, concatena forma e conteúdo em um construto literário homogêneo.

Published: December 2023

O trabalho discute a concepção de autor mediante distintas bases teóricas, em cotejo, partindo das considerações de Barthes (2012), associadas aos posteriores estudos de Foucault (2001, 2017), Chartier (2014) e Willemart (2009). Observando a necessidade de uma nova demanda sobre a autoria a partir das investigações realizadas em acervo literário, com as bases das teorias genéticas, o estudo, tendo como locus o ALJOG/UPF, Acervo Literário de Josué Guimarães, propõe a discussão sobre uma nova entidade, a persona, um si originado e renovado nos trabalhos com itens que constituem um acervo literário.
Millî Mücadele Döneminde Erzurum
Authors: Selvi Haluk
Published: December 2023

Erzurum Province, located in a significant position in the Anatolian geography, consisted of the Erzurum (Center) Sanjak, Erzincan Sanjak, and Bayezid Sanjak during the years of the First World War. Since the Erzincan and Bayezid Sanjaks will be addressed under separate headings in this volume, this study will focus on the Erzurum Sanjak and examine the events that took place in its districts, including Merkez (Erzurum), Pasinler (Hasankale), İspir, Tortum, Namrevan (Narman), and Hınıs. Furthermore, since the Erzurum Congress was highly significant for the Vilâyât-ı Şarkiyye (the Eastern Provinces) and the Black Sea region, it has been addressed under the title “Armistice and the National Organization in the Eastern Anatolia”. The Eastern Operation, which mainly concerns Kars, Sarıkamış, and Batum, has been evaluated within the Elviye-i Selâse title. Erzurum, which carried the heavy burden of war and went through occupation, entered into a new struggle in a depleted and lost state. Despite all the hardships, Erzurum played a leading role in the national organization in Eastern Anatolia and protecting the territorial integrity of the Ottoman Empire. It can be appreciated that it is difficult to address and present all aspects of a very dynamic and long period in a province like Erzurum within a specific range of pages. This study aims to evaluate Erzurum during the National Struggle period in a general framework, based on archival documents, the period’s press, memories, and works related to the subject.
Millî Mücadele Döneminde Bitlis
Authors: Selvi Haluk , Özdağ Suat
Published: December 2023

Bitlis, which was occupied by the Russians during World War I, was destroyed by Armenian gangs who acted with the Russians, and the people were exposed to massacres, which forced them to migrate in order to survive. The XVI Corps under the command of Mustafa Kemal Pasha rescued Bitlis from Russian occupation on August 8, 1916, but the city could not return to its former state for a long time due to the devastation it had experienced during the occupation. Article 24 of the Mudros Armistice Agreement raised the possibility of the future of Vilâyât-i Sitte (the Six Provinces) being jeopardized, and the idea emerged that Bitlis, which was located within these provinces, would be given to the Armenians. The people quickly formed national defense organizations in order to counter this imposed decision. The Defense of Rights Society established in Bitlis supported the national idea against separatist movements in their region, by participating in the Erzurum and Sivas congresses. Both tribal leaders and Bitlis people did not approve the British who supported separatist movements in the region, and thus, rendered the activities of the Kurdish National Society futile. Bitlis, which provided full support to the National Struggle, elected people who were in favor of the defense of law and sent them to the Grand National Assembly after it was opened. In addition to reacting against the occupations, the people of Bitlis also conveyed their congratulations to the appropriate places following victories. The Sanjaks of Muş and Siirt, which were attached to the province at that time, will be treated as separate provinces. In this study, military, political, economic, and social events between 1918-1922 in the Bitlis Sanjak (including Center, Ahlat, Mutki, and Hizan districts) will be analyzed in light of archival documents and sources of that period.
Millî Mücadele Döneminde Erzincan

Published: December 2023

Erzincan, which is an important transition area between Eastern Anatolia and Central Anatolia, was one of the administratively well-developed centers of the Ottoman Empire in terms of economy and agriculture in the early 20th century. During the First World War, it was occupied by the Russians as a district of the Erzurum Province and suffered from the atrocities of Armenian gangs and after the liberation, it took many years for Erzincan to return to its former days. Eşref Bey, who served as mutasarrıf for more than two years during this period, worked to provide the necessary financial resources for the Erzincan region along with administrative arrangements. Erzincan Liva experienced a dynamic administrative process during the National Struggle, and one of the biggest problems in the region was the shortage and inadequacy of administrators and officials. The constant risk of invasion and cross-border movements in the region affected the administrative affairs. The most important challenges faced by Erzincan and its districts in terms of administration were the reconstruction of the cities and the migration and return processes of the people. After the completion of the administrative organization, security issues emerged, and Erzincan and its surroundings, which were a military base, became an area regularly attacked by Dersim bandits. Despite all the adversities, the prominent figures of Erzincan organized around the defense of rights and helped the nearby and distant fronts by expressing their ideas at every opportunity. This study will attempt to address social, political, economic, and military events that occurred in Erzincan and its districts during the National Struggle, based on archival documents, periodicals of that period, memoirs, and copyrighted works, within a certain page range.
