KUTADGU BİLİG’DE NESNEYİ KARŞILAYAN KAVRAM İŞARETLERİ İLE EYLEMLER ARASINDAKİ SENTAKTİK İLİŞKİYİ SAĞLAYAN DIŞA DÖNÜK GÖREVLİ DİL ÖGELERİ
Authors: MERT Osman 
Published: December 2019

Türkçede anlamlı elemanlar kök, köken, gövde, birden fazla sözcükten oluşan geçici ya da kalıcı kavram işaretleri ve cümleden oluşurken, isim ya da isim soylu kavram işaretleri üzerine gelen görevli elemanlar içe ve dışa dönük olmak üzere kendi içinde ikiye ayrılır. İhtiyaç hâlinde üzerine ek alabilen içe dönük görev ögeleri, üzerlerine geldikleri anlamlı elemanla aralarındaki ilişkinin geçiciliğine, kalıcılığına, başka bir ifadeyle üzerlerine geldikleri kök ya da gövdeyle birlikte yeni bir kavram işareti oluşturup oluşturmamalarına ve işlevlerine göre sınıflandırılır. Üzerlerine geldikleri kök ya da gövdeyle aralarındaki ilişki sadece kullanıldıkları cümleyle sınırlı / geçici olan ve yeni bir kavram işareti oluşturmayan dışa dönük görev ögeleri ise Kutadgu Bilig’de genellikle +ø, ek, ek+ek, edat, ek+edat ve ek+ek+ edat olmak üzere altı farklı şekilde görülür. Kutadgu Bilig'de mesaj, alıcıya / okuyucuya eserin türü gereği, vezin kalıbı, mısra sonu kafiyesi, zaman zaman mısra başı kafiyesi, hece sayısı gibi birtakım kavramlar dikkate alınarak sunulmuştur. Dolayısıyla Yusuf Has Hâcib, eserinde alıcıya, şiirle ilgili yukarıdaki kavramlar çerçevesinde mümkün olduğu kadar az (anlamlı ve görevli) elemanla, mümkün olduğu kadar çok ve eksiksiz mesaj iletmeye çalışmıştır. Dolayısıyla Yusuf Has Hâcib, eserini kaleme alırken mesaja, vezne, mısra sonu kafiyesine, hece sayısına göre anlamlı ve görevli elemanları seçmiş; -mümkün olduğu kadar anlaşılabilirliği dikkate alarak- görevli elemanları işaretsiz (ø) morfem ile karşılamış ve bu yolla kazandığı hece sayısına tekabül eden oranda da anlamlı eleman kullanmıştır.Bu çalışmada Yusuf Has Hâcib’in, Kutadgu Bilig'de nesneyi karşılayan kavram işaretleri ile fiil ya da yüklem arasındaki sentaktik ilişkiyi kurarken /+ø/, /+KA/, /+ø tapa/, /+TA/, /+°G/, /+I/, /+nl/, /+TIn/, /+Ing+TIn/. /+tip/, /+GAr/ olmak üzere toplam 11 farklı dışa dönük görevli dil ögesinden yararlandığı tespit edilmiştir.

SULPHUR (GANDHAKA) PURIFICATION METHODS W.S.R. TO RASA CLASSICS
Authors: Panigrahi Debasis 
Published: December 2019

Gandhaka is one of the materials that are in extensive use in the past and also in the present era. It can be equated with Sulphur in modern chemistry. All most all the Rasa literature have included it under UpaRasa group, however in the periodic table it belongs to VI – A. It has a great role mainly in the preparations of Rasa and Rasayana drugs. As such the material in crude form can’t be used in drug manufacturing and therefore the crude materials are to be subjected to certain pharmaceutical measures to render them suitable for conversion into medicine and among such procedures the Shodhana is one. Historically Shodhana concept was in existence since the time of Smriti grantha Manusmriti and Charak Samhita 1(600- 1000 B.C) as while enumerating the fundamentals of Ayurvedic Pharmaceutics- Saucha(Sudhhikarana) is found enumerated as one of the basic necessity for “Gunantaradhana”(alteration and/or addition of properties in the drugs). This concept was further developed after the development of Rasashastra. In the current article 18 classics of Rasashastra been explored and different Gandhaka Sodhana (purification) methods were analyzed and discussed elaborately.

Some Exact Bianchi Types Cosmological Models in f(R, T) Theory of Gravity
Authors: AL-HAYSAH Ahmed , HASMANİ Abdulvahid 
Published: December 2019

In this paper, we attempt to study spatially homogeneous Bianchi types-III, V, VI$_0$ $\&amp;$ VI$_h$ cosmological models in $f(R, T)$ theory of gravity. Here the models are obtained by assuming forms of the function $f(R, T)$ as $f(R, T)= R + 2f(T)$ and $f(R, T) = f_1(R)+f_2(T)$. The exact solutions of Einstein's field equations (EFEs) have been obtained for two different types of physically viable cosmologies using a special form of Hubble parameter (HP). The physical and geometrical properties of these models have been discussed and expressions for the Ricci scalar $R$ in each case are obtained.
Analysis of the Convergence and Periodicity of a Rational Difference Equation
Authors: ALMATRAFİ Mohammed , ALZUBAİDİ Marwa 
Published: December 2019

The exact solutions of most difference equations cannot be obtained sometimes. This can be attributed to the fact that there is no a specific approach from which one can find the exact solution. Therefore, many researchers tend to study the qualitative behaviours of these equations. In this paper, we will investigate some qualitative properties such as local stability, global stability, periodicity and solutions of the following eighth order recursive equation \begin{eqnarray*} x_{n+1}=c_{1}x_{n-3}-\frac{c_{2}x_{n-3}}{c_{3} x_{n-3}- c_{4} x_{n-7}},\;\;\;n=0,1,..., \end{eqnarray*} {\Large \noindent }where the coefficients $c_{i},\ \textit{for all} \ i=1,...,4,$ are assumed to be positive real numbers and the initial conditions $x_{i} \ \textit{ for all} \ i=-7,-6,...,0, $ are arbitrary non-zero real numbers.

Authors: Rahman Saidur , Talukder Md Humayun Kabir , Alam Kazi Khairul 
Published: December 2019

Presence of MEU in medical colleges has been made as a measure of activities in National Quality Assurance guidelines for the improvement of medical education as well as faculty development. So, it is imperative to assess its activities in medical colleges for the expected outcomes which might facilitate administrators and policy makers for logical intervention where needed. Considering this matter, a descriptive type of cross sectional study was carried out to assess the status of activities of MEU in medical colleges of Bangladesh. Data was collected from 26 medical colleges of Bangladesh selected by purposive sampling method and 324 related available teachers by convenient sampling methods using a self-administered semistructured questionnaire. Total 26 MEUs coordinators or acting in charge as Key Informants were interviewed by using an interview schedule. A checklist was used for observation of existing MEU while visiting medical colleges for data collection. Principal/Vice Principal of medical colleges had responded to mailed letter as well as telephonic call and replied to have formal MEU at 20 (91%) out of 22 government and at 81 (98.2%) out of 83 non-government medical colleges. Around 87 % faculty members usually attend the MEU activities which is conducted by MEU coordinators in 75 % cases. CME program, pre and para clinical issue related activities occur in 70 % cases. The experiences gained from MEU activities are utilized 88 % in undergraduate class room, 59 % in conducting CME activities and around 50 % in other MEU activities. Staff related, Structural, faculty related, and administrative barriers have been identified by respondents and adequate fund and experienced staffs, motivation of faculty members and continued administrative monitoring can overcome those barriers (is it opinion? Of whom?). Key Informants opined MEU to take leading role in medical education development. Faculty members related to MEU should be adequately trained to impart interactive and effective education in both class room and bedside teaching. Policy level support, specific flow of fund, motivation and will of medical administrators and faculty members and proper monitoring by CME were found to be effective in establishing and functioning MEU in medical colleges.
