Tasavvufî Tecrübelerin Mahremiyeti Meselesi
Authors: ŞİMŞEK Halil İbrahim 
Published: February 2019

Mutasavvıflar tarafından kendi manevi hayatlarında yaşadıkları tasavvufî tecrübeler ve bunların neticesinde ortaya çıkan keşif ve müşahedelerin mahremiyeti konusunda çeşitli görüşler öne sürülmüştür. Genellikle meydana gelen tartışmalar; sözü edilen kişisel tecrübelerin mürid ile onun mürşidi dışında üçüncü şahısların yanında açıklanması veya yazılı ortamlara aktarılmasının doğru olup olmadığı konuları etrafında gelişmiştir. Bu mesele hakkında üç açıdan sorun görünmektedir: Birincisi; kişilerin manevi hayatlarındaki tecrübeleri ifade etmek mümkün müdür? İkincisi; mümkün olsa bile bunları açıkça ifade etmek doğru mudur? Üçüncüsü; mahrem bilgiler kimlere ve nasıl aktarılabilir? Müellif sufiler yazdıkları eserlerde açıklanan hususların ancak ehli olanlar tarafından doğru bir şekilde anlaşılabileceğini ve ehli olmayanlar için bu konuların mahrem olduğunu ifade etmişlerdir. Bu durumda tasavvufî tecrübelerin kişinin kendi manevi hayatında gerçekleşmesi, belli bir seyir süreci olması, bu zaman zarfında farklı tezahür ve neticelerinin meydana gelmesi onu özel kılmaktadır.
Optimized support vector regression for drillingrate of penetration estimation

Published: February 2019

AbstractIn the petroleum industry, drilling optimizationinvolves the selection of operating conditions for achievingthe desired depth with the minimum expenditurewhile requirements of personal safety, environment protection,adequate information of penetrated formationsand productivity are fulfilled. Since drilling optimizationis highly dependent on the rate of penetration (ROP), estimationof this parameter is of great importance duringwell planning. In this research, a novel approach called‘optimized support vector regression’ is employed for makinga formulation between input variables and ROP. Algorithmsused for optimizing the support vector regressionare the genetic algorithm (GA) and the cuckoo search algorithm(CS). Optimization implementation improved thesupport vector regression performance by virtue of selectingproper values for its parameters. In order to evaluatethe ability of optimization algorithms in enhancing SVRperformance, their results were compared to the hybridof pattern search and grid search (HPG) which is conventionallyemployed for optimizing SVR. The results demonstratedthat the CS algorithm achieved further improvementon prediction accuracy of SVR compared to the GAand HPG as well. Moreover, the predictive model derivedfrom back propagation neural network (BPNN), which isthe traditional approach for estimating ROP, is selectedfor comparisons with CSSVR. The comparative results revealedthe superiority of CSSVR. This study inferred thatCSSVR is a viable option for precise estimation of ROP.
Non-expert views of compassion: consensual qualitative research using focus groups
Authors: Baránková Martina , Halamová Júlia , Koróniová Jana 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
Although the research on compassion is growing, there is a lack of knowledge about how non-expert people perceive compassion. Therefore, the aim of the study was to explore compassion from the perspective of non-experts. Our sample consisted of 56 non-expert participants (Slovaks and Czechs) in 10 focus groups and we conducted a Consensual Qualitative Research analysis with two members of a core team and one auditor. In general, compassion was described as a mixture of non-specified positive emotions and specified negative emotions (mainly fear, remorse, and sadness). Compassion was related to empathy. In terms of behaviours, compassion was revealed to help, support, favour, mental closeness, and interest. Compassion is displayed mainly to people close to us in situations of suffering. However, people tend to evaluate beforehand whether the situation and person deserve compassion. Moreover, people are cautious about being exploited through compassion. To sum up, our findings support a multidimensional definition of compassion.
The role of group experience in alternative spiritual gatherings
Authors: Jerotijević Danijela , Hagovská Martina 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
The focus of this study is alternative spiritual groups among the urban population in Slovakia. Those who participate in them may be characterized as “spiritual, but not religious” (Willard & Norenzayan, 2017)—people who are not affiliated to a traditional (Christian) church, and may even have negative opinions on the Church, but who seek a different kind of spiritual experience. As Willard and Norenzayan pointed out the “spiritual, but not religious” have “an experiential relationship to the supernatural, and see themselves as more connected to the universe as a whole”. The authors studied spiritual gatherings containing elements of rituals, dance and narrative sharing and that were charged with different kinds of emotions. We are interested in people’s motivation to seek out alternative spirituality and in their preferences for group experiences. Based on theories of collective rituals and shared emotions, we assume that these gatherings may have a positive impact on general well-being and be a form of social and emotional resilience.
An Unfolding Case Study: Supporting Contextual Psychomotor Skill Development in Novice Nursing Students
Authors: Meiers Janice , Russell Martha Joan 
Published: February 2019

Abstract

Background
Nursing students learn psychomotor skills in the nursing lab, removed from the context of real patient care. As a result, students experience challenges linking client conditions with pertinent assessments and the performance of skills in the clinical setting. To address this gap, we created an unfolding case study for the nursing lab that provides context and supports students to use assessment and theory to guide skill performance in practice.

Method
Faculty and student focus groups were conducted to elicit feedback on the use of an unfolding case in the nursing lab with novice nursing students as they transition to clinical practice.

Results
Impacts that emerged from the faculty and student focus groups included knowledge synthesis, transferability to practice, and increased clinical competence.

Conclusions
The unfolding case study successfully supported students’ transition to acute care practice. Both faculty and student participants expressed a desire for use of this dynamic method in all nursing lab courses.
Powerful Qualities or Pure Powers?
Authors: Contessa Gabriele 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
This paper explores the debate between those philosophers who take (fundamental, perfectly natural) properties to be pure powers and those who take them to be powerful qualities. I first consider two challenges for the view that properties are powerful qualities, which I call, respectively, ‘the clarification challenge’ and ‘the explanatory challenge’. I then examine a number of arguments that aim to show that properties cannot be pure powers and find them all wanting. Finally, I sketch what I take to be the most promising argument against pure powers and for powerful qualities.
Polaritonics: from microcavities to sub-wavelength confinement
Authors: Ballarini Dario , De Liberato Simone 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
Following the initial success of cavity quantum electrodynamics in atomic systems, strong coupling between light and matter excitations is now achieved in several solid-state set-ups. In those systems, the possibility to engineer quantum emitters and resonators with very different characteristics has allowed access to novel nonlinear and non-perturbative phenomena of both fundamental and applied interest. In this article, we will review some advances in the field of solid-state cavity quantum electrodynamics, focussing on the scaling of the relevant figures of merit in the transition from microcavities to sub-wavelength confinement.
Innovation-Sustainability Nexus in Agriculture Transition: Case of Agroecology
Authors: El Bilali Hamid 
Published: February 2019

AbstractDifferent governments and international organizations have shown interest in agroecology as a promising pathway for transition to sustainable agriculture. However, the kinds of innovation needed for agro-ecological transition are subject to intense debate. The scale of this debate is itself an indicator of the complicated relation between innovation and sustainability in the agro-food arena and beyond. This review paper analyses the potential of agro-ecology in agricultural sustainability transitions. It also explores whether agro-ecological transition is a sustainable innovation (cf. ecological, green, open, social, responsible). Furthermore, the paper investigates the potential contribution of agro-ecological transition to sustainability, using the 3-D (Direction, Distribution and Diversity) model of the STEPS centre. Agroecology is one of the few approaches that can harmoniously combine innovation and sustainability in agriculture while promoting genuine transition to agro-food sustainability since it embraces all dimensions of sustainability (environmental, economic, social/cultural/ethical). Nevertheless, it can be taken for granted neither that all traditional practices can be classified as ‘agro-ecological’ nor that all farmer-led innovations can be included in the agro-ecological repertoire. Moreover, the relationship between the three aspirations of agroecology (science, movement and practice) needs further elaboration in order to maximise potential for agriculture transition.
A brief overview on Brazilian women in chemistry

Published: February 2019

Abstract
Women have achieved great advances standing up for themselves in the last 100 years. Many important women were essential for the development of science but only a few (5% from total awarded individuals) have won Nobel prizes for their work. In this brief contribution, we would like to show that gender equality is in process and highlight the gaps that still have to be addressed. We also give an overview of the Brazilian scenario on this matter. In many countries, such as Brazil, women are already half of the researchers in Chemistry, but their representation become scarcer as their career advances, in coordination and direction positions.

Abstract
Non-specific inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) include Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Both diseases are characterized by chronic inflammation of unclear etiology. The inflammatory bowel diseases incidence is continuously observed to rise. Colon inflammatory response is a physiological process which occurrence is indispensable as an organisms’ defense reaction. The inflammation may be caused by internal factors associated with body’s cells as well as external factors, such as infections and exposition for inflammatory agents. Until recently, IBD have been classified as autoimmune diseases, today they seem to be associated with gut barrier disorders or dysbiosis. Factors that predispose to inflammatory bowel diseases include: genetic factors, dysbiosis and so called western-type diet, natural components such as gluten and lactose. In addition, the development of the disease is favored by: cigarette smoking, phosphate, nanomolecules, sodium chloride, emulgents, carrageenan, carboxymethylcellulose, pollution, maltodextrin. IBD affects whole the body, causing serious medical consequences. Symptoms like anxiety and chronic stress, that occur commonly, can lead to depressive disorders. Quantitative and qualitative dietary deficiency caused by absorption disorders, may promote the occurrence of osteoporosis and osteopenia. In addition, dysbiosis coexisting with alterations in intestinal permeability can lead to the development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. IBD medical consequences include also systemic complications, associated with the extra gastrointestinal manifestations’ occurrence.
An overview of radioactivity measurement studies in Pakistan

Published: February 2019

Abstract
In our environment, various naturally occurring radionuclides are present (both underground and overground) in several places, which results in lifelong human exposure. The radiation dose received by human beings from the radiation emitted by these naturally occurring radionuclides is approximately 87%. Exposure to radiation poses radiological health hazards. To assess the human health hazards from radiation, the concentration of these naturally occurring radionuclides are measured in soil (used for cultivation), building materials (soil, bricks, sand, marble, etc.), water and dietary items, worldwide. The available literature revealed that numerous studies related to the subject have been carried out in Pakistan. Most of these studies measured the radioactivity concentrations of primordial [uranium (238U), thorium (232Th), radium (226Ra) and potassium (40K)] and anthropogenic [cesium (137Cs)] radionuclide in soil samples (used for cultivation), fertilizers, building materials (i.e. bricks, rocks, sand, soil, marble, etc.), as well as water and dietary items, using a sodium iodide detector or high purity germanium. An effort was made in 2008 to compile these studies as a review article. However, since then, considerable studies have been undertaken and reported in the literature. Therefore, the main objective of the present article is to provide a countrywide baseline data on radionuclide levels, by overviewing and compiling the relevant studies carried out in Pakistan.
Impact of ambient air pollution and wheeze-associated disorders in children in Southeast Asia: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Luong Ly M.T. , Sly Peter D. , Thai Phong K. , Phung Dung 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
Several systematic reviews have been conducted so far to examine the effect of air pollution on respiratory diseases, but there has not been a corresponding meta-analysis to estimate the effect sizes for wheeze-associated diseases/disorders, which is one of the leading causes of emergency department visits and hospitalizations for children worldwide. The aim of this review is to systematically evaluate the relationship between air pollution and risk of wheeze-associated disorders in children in Southeast Asia. We searched the relevant computerized databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Scopus and Cochrane library) for indexed publications up to July 2018. Finally, eight studies were qualified for performing a random-effect meta-analysis to compute the pooled effect sizes. The results show that each increase of 10 μg/m3 in concentrations of PM2.5, PM1 was associated with 1–2% increase in risk of wheeze-associated disorders. Positive associations were found for PM10, SO2, NO2, NOx but no association was found for CO and O3. We confirmed the strong effect of fine particulate matters on respiratory health and recommend an updated meta-analysis should be done when more studies are available.

Authors: Kevkić Tijana , Stojanović Vladica 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
In this paper, the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) is applied to the coupled set of Schrödinger–Poisson (SP) equations in inversion layer problem for obtaining the approximate analytical solution. Inversion layer of n-type is considered, and the electric quantum limit is assumed. By introducing some dimensionless quantities, the SP system has been turned into one which can be solved along the infinite interval. After some appropriate transformations, the infinite interval has been reduced to finite one

Moreover, these solutions show relative simple mathematical form, as well as high degree of accuracy what is desirable for semiconductor device modelling.
Preparation, Characterization and Evaluation of Curcumin Nanodispersions Using Three Different Methods – Novel Subcritical Water Conditions, Spontaneous Emulsification and Solvent Displacement
Authors: Sayyar Zahra , Malmiri Hoda Jafarizadeh 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
Curcumin as a lipophilic bioactive compound can be incorporated into water-based formulations when it turns into curcumin nanodispersions. In fact, nanodispersion systems, increase curcumin bioavailability, solubility and stability, and furthermore increase curcumin uses in aqueous food and pharmaceutical formulations. Present study focuses on the preparation of curcumin nanodispersions under subcritical water conditions (temperature of 120 °C and pressure of 1.5 bar for 2 h) and using selected another two different methods namely, spontaneous emulsification and solvent displacement. Lecithin as carrier oil, Tween 80 as emulsifier and polyethylene glycol as co-surfactant, with a ratio of 1:8:1, were used in all the preparation techniques. Obtained results indicated that curcumin nanodispersions with smallest mean particle size (70 nm), polydispersity index (0.57), curcumin loss (5.5%) and turbidity (0.04 Nephelometric Turbidity Unit), and maximum loading ability (0.189 g/L), loading efficiency (94.5%) and conductivity (0.157 mS/cm) were obtained under subcritical water conditions. The results also exhibited that the prepared spherical curcumin nanoparticles in the water by this technique had desirable physical stability as their mean zeta potential value was (−12.6 mV). It also observed that, as compared to spontaneous emulsification and solvent displacement methods, the prepared curcumin nanodispersions via subcritical water method had highest anti-oxidant and antibacterial activities.

Abstract
Feros, SA, Young, WB, and O'Brien, BJ. Efficacy of combined general, special, and specific resistance training on pace bowling skill in club-standard cricketers. J Strength Cond Res 34(9): 2596–2607, 2020—This study investigated the efficacy of combined “general,” “special,” and “specific” resistance training on pace bowling skill. Twelve male, club-standard pace bowlers were randomly allocated to a combined resistance training (CRT) program or traditional cricket training (TCT) program for 8 weeks. The CRT group (n = 6) trained with 300, 250-g, and standard cricket balls; performed 20-m sprints with +20% and +15% body mass resistance (but also unresisted); and completed chin-up and pull-up training. The TCT group (n = 6) trained with standard balls and performed unresisted 20-m sprints. No statistically significant GROUP × TIME interactions were identified. The CRT group demonstrated a “clear moderate” enhancement in peak ball release speed (mean ±95% confidence limits [CLs]: 1.2 ± 1.5 m·s−1, d = 0.66 ± 0.83), a “clear large” increase in mean radial error (mean ±95% CLs: 7.1 ± 6.5 cm, d = 0.94 ± 0.87), and a “clear large” rise in bivariate variable error (mean ±95% CLs: 7.2 ± 7.8 cm, d = 0.97 ± 1.05). The TCT group exhibited “unclear” changes across all pace bowling skill measures. Both groups displayed “unclear” changes in approach speed, 20-m sprint time, and 1 repetition maximum pull-up strength. In 8 weeks, the CRT program improved peak ball release speed, but at the cost of poorer bowling accuracy and consistency of bowling accuracy. These findings could be attributed to bowling with the heavier balls. The inclusion of “specific” resistance training does not seem to be effective in enhancing all-round pace bowling skill in club-standard cricketers.

Abstract
Dorgo, S, Perales, JJ, Boyle, JB, Hausselle, J, and Montalvo, S. Sprint training on a treadmill vs. overground results in modality-specific impact on sprint performance but similar positive improvement in body composition in young adults. J Strength Cond Res 34(2): 463–472, 2020—The effects of different sprint training modalities on body composition are not yet known, and the effectiveness of using motorized treadmills for sprint training is yet to be assessed accurately. The following study investigated the effects of motorized treadmill and overground training on sprint performance and body composition. Sixty-four young adults (33 men and 31 women) completed 12 sprint training sessions over a 6-week period either on a treadmill (TM) or overground (TR), or followed their normal exercise routine (CONTROL). Fifty-yard sprint time, 20-yard maximal sprint speed split time, and maximal treadmill speed were used as sprint performance indicators. Body composition and sprint performance assessments were completed before and after the 6-week intervention. On completion of the 6-week training program, maximal treadmill speed significantly increased for all 3 groups, while split sprint time significantly decreased for the TR group. The CONTROL group's 50-yd sprint time and split sprint time significantly worsened after 6 weeks. Improvements in sprint time and speed were significantly greater for the TR and TM groups compared with the CONTROL group for 50-yd sprint time, 20-yard maximal sprint speed split time, and maximal treadmill sprint speed. The change in maximal treadmill sprint speed for the TM group was significantly greater than that of the TR group. TR and TM subjects also showed significant decrease in total body fat and increase in leg lean muscle mass. These findings indicate that although overground sprint training resulted in the greatest performance improvements within overground sprint tests, sprint training on a motorized treadmill may be a beneficial alternative modality to overground sprint training and may also positively impact subjects' body composition.
Nutritional Needs of the Female Athlete: Risk and Prevention of Low Energy Availability
Authors: Black Katherine E. , Baker Dane F. , Sims Stacy T. 
Published: February 2019

ABSTRACT
To date, most of the research surrounding low energy availability (LEA) and female athletes has focused on the high prevalence rates (2–77%). Despite the severe negative health and performance consequences, awareness of this issue is low. There are potentially a multitude of factors that contribute to the development of LEA across the menstrual cycle and training phases. This review highlights these influences and provides practical tips for those working with female athletes.
