Authors: Balci Tevfik , Kocabas Rahim , Cuce Gokhan , Akoz Mehmet 
Published: December 2020

Background: As obesity is increasing worldwide, obese people use various methods to get rid of excess weight. BMS309403 (A drug) is a specific inhibitor of fatty acid binding protein 4. In this study, the effects of the BMS309403 on serum biochemical markers, testis tissue spermatogenesis and apoptotic markers were investigated in male mice.
Methods: Balb/c mice (total=56, each group n=14) were divided into control, obese control, obese solvent and obese drug groups. The obese control, obese solvent and obese drug groups were fed on the high sucrose diet to lead to obesity. After the development of obesity, BMS309403 was orally administered to the obese drug group for six weeks. It was performed in testicular tissues (Johnson Score and apoptosis markers) and biochemical tests (total testosterone, sex hormone binding globulin, inhibin-B tests and free androgen index) were used to evaluate reproductive parameters. The p<0.05 was considered to indicate a statistical significance.
Results: Serum fatty acid binding protein 4 levels were higher in obese control group and obese solvent group, compared to control (p<0.05) and obese drug groups (p<0.001). Serum total testosterone, free androgen index, inhibin-B, sex hormone binding globulin levels, testicular tissue B-cell lymphoma-2 expression level and Johnson Score parameters were lower in all obese groups compared with the control group. Inhibin-B levels and Johnson Score results were lower in obese drug group compared to other two obese groups (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Contrary to expectations, the use of BMS309403 negatively affected male reproductive parameters. Negative changes in reproductive parameters may be a result of the increased lee index of obesity.

Authors: Gaspersz Steve G.C. , Souisa Nancy N. , Latuheru Rido D. 
Published: December 2020

During 2017-2019 a few cases of suicide amongst Christian teenagers in the city of Ambon have been linked to the inﬂ uence of “suanggi” that has connotations of being the representation of an evil supernatural power. By using the qualitative research method with a case study approach, the article is focused on the religious reactions of the Christian community in their understanding and rationalization of these two phenomena. Data is collected through Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and personal interviews. All collected qualitative data are analyzed by social hermeneutical analysis. The results of the study have shown that: (1) Social change that occurred amongst the people of Ambon has implications in the shift of traditional order of living values, at the same time clashes between the custodians of cultural traditions and morality (church) have occurred. (2) Within the Ambonese community, religion does not only symbolize certain systems of belief, but also becomes the institution that provides a place for the communal spirit and protects the shared morality through its teachings and the practice of its rituals. (3) The phenomena of suicide amongst teenagers in Ambon, the circulation of information concerning the inﬂuence of “suanggi”, and the reactive response of the Christian community reﬂects the clash between the insistence for social change amongst the urban communities.

Authors: Ozbey Adnan 
Published: December 2020

The main objective of this study is to compare the human values and psychological well-being of gifted/talented students with their peers with standard development. In addition, it aims to determine the level of relationship between human values and psychological well-being of gifted/talented students and whether human values were effective on psychological well-being. In this research, the relational survey model of quantitative research methods, which is a sub-type of the general survey model, is used. Assistance was received from 328 (59.3%) eighth-grade secondary school students in schools run by the Ministry of National Education in Izmir and Manisa and 225 (40.7%) gifted/talented students who were educated at BILSEM. To collect data, the Human Values Scale (PSI) and the Psychological Well-being Scale were used. Independent samples t-test for paired comparisons, Pearson’s product-moment correlation analysis for variable relationships and regression analysis to determine the predictive level were used. According to the t-test results, the human values and psychological well-being levels of gifted/talented students were higher than those of their peers with standard development and the gender variable did not play an effective role in the psychological well-being of gifted/talented students. As a result of the correlation analysis, a statistically significant correlation was found between human values and the psychological well-being of gifted/talented students. According to the regression analysis, human values significantly increased psychological well-being.

Retrospective Study about the Transformation of Dairy Cattle Population in Turkey (1991-2019) and Possible Metabolic and Reproductive Problems
Authors: AKSOY Kemal , DENİZ Abdulkerim , METİN Mert 
Published: December 2020

The present study analyzed the transformation of dairy cattle population and changes in yearly milk production and per lactation milk yield (1991 – 2019) in Turkey. In addition, metabolic and reproductive diseases frequently seen in high milk yielding dairy cows (HYDC) and problems causing low milk yield were investigated. The number of dairy cows, culled and sent to slaughter was investigated for the last three years in Turkey. On the other side, the cost of the most common metabolic diseases by region has been analyzed by a phone survey (40 vets were asked in different regions). The dairy cow population was 6118997 in 1991 (HYDC pure breed: 10.6% and traditional indigenous dairy breed: 55.3%). The dairy cow population reached 6580753 in 2019 (7.5 % increase compared to 1991) which consisted of pure breed HYDC of 49.4% and traditional dairy breed of 8.9%. This is a transformation in dairy cattle population in 28 years. Yearly total milk production increased by 141.2% from 8.616.412 tons (1991) to 20782374 tons (2019). Yearly milk production per lactation/cow increased from 1.4 tons (1991), to 1.65 tons (2000) and to 3.16 tons (2019) which means 17.5% and 124.3% increase, respectively. The growth of the number of HYDC pure breed and their total yearly milk production was 399.3% (650739 – 3249002) and 555.6% (1913438 tons to 12544507 tons) in 28 years, respectively. Numerous metabolic and reproductive diseases can often be observed in HYDCs due to genetic reasons as well as nutritional and maintenance mistakes during the transition and dry period which can cause economic loss related to milk yield and metabolic diseases. The treatment cost of the metabolic or reproductive diseases for the farmers was between 150-1200 TL per case. Many of the animals were sent to compulsory slaughter and culled because of these diseases. Indeed, a total of 738681 dairy cows have been sent to slaughter throughout the last three years.

Aim. To analyze hospital admission and ambulatory care of the patients with arterial hypertension (AH) in federal districts and regions from the perspective of the WHO concept of diseases, which can be treated in ambulatory settings (ambulatory care sensitive conditions, ACSC).Material and methods. For analysis we used data from annual forms of federal statistical monitoring (12 and 14), which includes data on hospital admissions with hypertension in federal districts and separate regions in 2017. Hypertension included diseases characterized by raised blood pressure, ICD10: I10-I13.Results. We performed the analysis of 12 and 14 forms per districts and regions of the Russian Federation. Regions with increased hospitalization rates and an increased ratio of the hospitalizations to number to outpatients visits were identified. High variability of these indicators was observed both among both between regions and federal districts. The values of the ratio indicator vary from 0.0131 in the Nizhny Novgorod Region to 0.0234 in the Chechen Republic. The average value of the ratio in the federal district varies from 0.032 in the Volga Federal District to 0.119 in the North Caucasus Federal District. In the North Caucasus and Far East Federal District the value of the indicator is significantly higher than in other districts.Conclusion. Assessing diseases which can be treated in ambulatory setting scan be one of the tools for evaluating the quality of medical care in primary care facilities. However, before including ACSC as an indicator of the quality of health care delivery, a deeper understanding of the reasons that can impact its rates is required.

KRITIK HARALD MOTZKI TERHADAP TEORI ISNAD HADIS JOSEPH SCHACHT
Authors: Jannah Shofiatul 
Published: December 2020

<p>Selama ini kajian hadis orientalis selalu menghadirkan skeptisisme terhadap kesahihan hadis untuk bisa disandarkan kepada Nabi, terutama Joseph Schacht yang menjadi rujukan kajian hadis mereka. Tetapi, diskursus perkembangan kajian orientalis tersebut ternyata tidak selamanya menghasilkan pakar skeptis, sebagaimana yang ditunjukkan dalam pemikiran hadis Harald Motzki. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengulas kritik Motzki terhadap teori-teori isnad Joseph Schacht dengan argumen-argumennya yang cukup menarik. Sedangkan, metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah deskriptif analitik untuk mengkaji lebih detail teori <em>backward projection</em>, <em>common link</em>, <em>e silenteo</em> dari Josepht Schacht, dan argumen-argumen bantahan dari Harald Motzki. Hasil penelitian ini adalah sebagaimana yang diungkapkan Harald Motzki bahwa tidak ada pemalsuan terhadap hadis yang dilakukan oleh ulama hadis seperti yang dikatakan oleh Schacht, karena hadis mulai eksis sejak abad pertama hijriah. Untuk menganalisa <em>common link </em>tidak cukup dengan mengkaji aspek sanad sebuah hadis. Di samping itu juga dibutuhkan kajian terhadap matan hadis, karena dari kajian dua aspek tersebut, sumber sejarah pembentukan sebuah hadis dapat diketahui. Demikian pula, jika ada sebuah hadis tidak ditemukan di masa tertentu, bisa saja disebabkan karena mereka tidak mengetahuinya, dan bukan berarti hadis tersebut tidak eksis di masanya.</p><p> </p><p>[<strong>Harald Motzki's Critic toward Joseph Schacht's Isnad Hadith Theory</strong>. So far, the study of orientalist hadiths has always presented skepticism about the validity of the hadiths to rely on the Prophet, especially Joseph Schacht, who was the reference for their hadith study. However, the discourse on the development of orientalist studies did not always produce skeptical experts, as shown in the hadith thought of Harald Motzki. This study aims to review Motzki’s critique of Joseph Schacht’s <em>isnad</em> theories with his interesting arguments. Meanwhile, the research method used in this research is descriptive-analytic to examine in more detail Joseph Schacht’s backward projection, common link, <em>e silentio</em> theories, and Harald Motzki’s arguments. The results of this study are as expressed by Harald Motzki that there is no forgery of hadiths carried out by hadith scholars as stated by Schacht because hadiths began to exist since the first century of Hijri. To analyze common links, it is not enough to study the <em>sanad</em> aspects of hadith. In addition, a study of the hadith’s observations is also needed, because, from the study of these two aspects, the historical source of the formation of hadith can be known. Likewise, if a hadith was not found at a certain time, it could be because they did not know it, and it does not mean that the hadith did not exist at that time.]</p>
