Fal – Fortune Telling from Chalil Juzefovich’s Tefsir (19th Century)
Authors: Miškinienė Galina 
Published: October 2023

At the junction of the 20th–21st centuries more and more attention was being paid to the written heritage of Lithuanian Tatars. From 1997 to 2020 seven catalogues of Lithuanian Tatars manuscripts were published. These catalogues describe the Lithuanian Tatars manuscripts, which are kept in state institutions, museums, archives, as well as in private collections of various countries. The larg- est collections of manuscripts are stored in Belarus and Lithuania. The emergence of such catalogues is an excellent basis for further comparative studies.
In 2020 the author of this article managed to get acquainted with a new collection of manuscripts stored in a private collection. Five manuscripts were reviewed and analysed during this research. All of them perfectly represent the main genres of Lithuanian Tatars manuscripts heritage – kitabs, semi-kitabs, hamails, and tefsirs.
The manuscripts are dated from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century. Five manuscripts from this collection were presented in the article “Lithuanian Tatar Manuscripts Written in Arabic Script from the Private Collection: New Discoveries” (2020). So far, the content of only one manuscript has been described in a published article. Starting with the catalogue of Lithua- nian Tatar manuscripts written in Arabic script (2005), in which the compilers drew attention to the content of the manuscripts, other catalogues (2011, 2015, 2020) were published according to the same principles – revealing the content of the manuscript. An opportunity to undertake textological analysis of texts opened for researchers.
The folklore material from some manuscripts makes a system of incantations, healing spells, and protective rites that were popular not only among the Muslim community, but also among Christians and Jews. This system is closely related to beliefs and superstitions, the origins of which are found in the universal Muslim culture adopted by the Turks. Kitabs and chamails are abound of astrological, calendrical and magical texts. Texts about auspicious and inauspicious days, dreamers and fals (fortune-telling) attract the attention of scholars.
In this article, we present a fal that we have found in the tefsir (sufra) written by Chalil Juzefovich. This tefsir is dated from the 19th century. Although the fortune-telling text, which is being described for the first time, has no analogues in other manuscripts, it will provide excellent material for further comparative studies. It is much more difficult to determine the source(s) of such texts, as they were very popular in folk culture, may have had a number of variants and a wide circle of distribution. However, with each newly discovered and decoded text, we reveal a layer of Lithuanian Tatar manuscripts.
On the Vowel Epenthesis and Epithesis in Turkish Texts in the Manuscripts of Lithuanian Tatars
Authors: Durgut Hüseyin 
Published: October 2023

Adding a vowel that is not in the original of a word to that word for various reasons is called vowel derivation. There is no morphological reason for vowel derivation and it aims to facilitate the pronunciation. There are three types of vowel derivation: at the beginning of the word, within the word and at the end of the word. The derivation of vowels at the beginning of a word in Turkish is not seen much in standard Turkish and is more common in dialects. Vowel epenthesis is a common phonetic event in standard Turkish. This phonetic event is encountered both in borrowed words and in words of Turkish origin. One of the reasons for the vowel epenthesis in Turkish is to make the borrowed words that do not fit the syllable structure of Turkish fit the syllable this structure and thus to eliminate the difficulty of pronunciation in the borrowed words. As it is known, only some consonant pairs can be found together at the end of words of Turkish origin. For this reason, in words borrowed with consonant pairs that are not suitable for the syllabic structure of Turkish, we come across vowel derivations within the word. This vowel derivation, which first appeared in the spoken language, can also pass into the standard language over time. The vowel epenthesis can also be seen in some Turkish origin words in order to add strength to the meaning. In Turkish, vowel epithesis is not as common as vowel epenthesis. The vowel epithesis is mostly seen in dialects and there are very few examples in standard language. The vowel epithesis is a phonetic event that is more common in some Turkic languages than in Türkiye Turkish. The derivation of vowel at the end of the word, especially seen in borrowed words, provides ease of pronunciation in words of foreign origin that do not fit the sound system of the Turkish language. The vowel epithesis occurs in borrowed words containing consonant pairs that are not suitable for the syllable structure of Turkish, as well as in borrowed words with twin consonants at the end of the word.
It is seen that examples of vowel epithesis in Turkish texts found in manuscripts of Lithuanian Tatars are more common than in Türkiye Turkish. In particular, the Miraj text and some poems belonging to the Old Anatolian Turkish period, which are among the manuscripts in the “kitab” type, provide us with a rich material on this subject. In these texts, examples of vowel epenthesis and epithesis in borrowed words from Arabic and Persian are used in pairs in an interesting way. In other words, we see that the same borrowed word is used both with vowel epenthesis and epithesis. In this study, events of vowel epenthesis and epithesis in Turkish texts found in manuscripts of Lithuanian Tatars are examined and the reasons for the higher incidence of vowel epithesis in these texts are discussed.
Piotr Czyżewski’s “Alfurkan tatarski” (Wilno, 1616/1617) and its Authorship
Authors: Temčinas Sergejus 
Published: October 2023

The article focuses on the textual characteristics of the Polish anti-Ta- tar pamphlet “Alfurkan tatarski” written by Piotr Czyżewski (Wilno, 1616/1617) and reveals its text being a compilation. There are at least four different indica- tions for this. They were a result of borrowing certain textual fragments from Matiasz Czyżewski’s earlier edition “Alkoran” (1616), which is considered lost. However, its long title describing the contents survives and can be safely com- pared to the extant text of Piotr Czyżewski’s “Alfurkan tatarski”. This comparison reveals thematic similarities between the two editions accompanied by identical wording which must be viewed as result of textual borrowing from the earlier edition into the later one. This collaborates well with A. Brückner’s comparison of the two editions (both were available to him in the early 20th century) which were reported to contain partially the same textual material.
Traditionally the names of both authors are treated as pseudonyms of an un- known person who was recently identified with Józef Karcan (the printer of Piotr Czyżewski’s first edition of “Alfurkan tatarski”) or, alternatively, with Tomasz Pawłowski (the abbot of the Benedictine monastery in Old Trakai in ca 1597 – ca 1617). Nevertheless, the very nature of the revealed textual bor- rowings, accompanied by a significant rearrangement of the general struc
ture, suggests that both editions have different authors. Since Matiasz and Piotr Czyżewski in their publications call themselves brothers and mention each other’s editions, they, contrary to the established tradition, must be con- sidered the actual authors of the respective printed books, and not fictitious pseudonyms.
The Role of Rituals and Ceremonies in the Identity Struggle of a Society that Has Lost Its Language: the Example of Lithuanian Tatars
Authors: Aça Mehmet 
Published: October 2023

Language, history, geography, belief, and culture have an important role in the societies to have a common identity and to maintain their existence by embracing this identity. Identity generally refers to a person or group’s defini­ tion of itself and its positioning among other people or groups. One of the basic processes of the formation of identities at the group level is collective memory. A common emphasis plays an important role in the formation of group identi­ ty. Rituals and ceremonies are very functional in highlighting a common past and keeping the collective memory alive. Ritual, which means the repetition of certain values related to individuals or groups with symbolic and invariable sequential behaviour patterns, is an emotional channel that feeds group con­ sciousness and unity. It guides new knowledge and experience. Rituals that connect the past to the present and the present to the future can be either reli­ gious or secular. Rituals contribute to the raising of group consciousness in the participants; they determine social status and roles; they offer ready patterns of behaviour by showing how the individual will behave in society; they connect individuals to the past with an emotional bond.
Lithuanian Tatars, who had important rights and privileges recognized by the Grand Duchy of Lithuania as the equivalent of their important services, have preserved their identity thanks to the rights and privileges granted to them, Islamic beliefs, rituals and ceremonies. Religious rituals, commemoration and celebration ceremonies supported the efforts of Lithuanian Tatars to keep their traditions alive; contributed to efforts to maintain ties between them; it kept their commitment to the roots or the common past alive. Celebrations and ceremonies related to religious festivals and transition periods perform im­ portant duties in the transfer of culture to children and young people. The celebration and commemoration programs organized for the 620th anniver­ sary of the arrival of the Tatars in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, on the one hand, expressed loyalty to the Lithuanian State and the Lithuanian people, on the other hand, contributed to remembering the roots. In particular, Sabantuy, held in Lithuania in 2017, contributed to the development of the relations of Lithuanian Tatars with other Tatar groups living in the Russian Federation and Anatolian Turks.
In this study, rituals and ceremonies will be discussed and interpreted through various rituals (religious festivals, rites of passage, Sabantuy, etc.) and ceremo­nies that contribute to the efforts of the Lithuanian Tatars to protect their iden­tity and culture.

Abstract
The elephant grass cultivar BRS Kurumi has high nutritional levels and good productivity, being of great interest from farmers. Considering the lack of information regarding the best level of fertilization and management in the cerrado, this study evaluated its productive behavior at different levels of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium replacement. The experiment was carried out for two years at the Agraer Research and Training Center, in Campo Grande, MS. The experimental design used was randomized blocks with 5 treatments and 4 replications. The treatments used were: 0%, 25%, 50%, 100%, 150% (first year) and 200% (second year) of replacement of nutrients extracted from the forage dry mass in each cut. In the two years of the study, the replacement doses had a linear effect on dry mass production, in addition to varying the annual number of cuts. The treatments also had an effect on plant height and light interception.

O uso de pavimento asfáltico para o deslocamento de veículos de carga e pessoas é de grande importância para o desenvolvimento de uma região ou de um país onde estratégias que permitem atenuar os problemas constantes na pista de rolamento, prolongando sua vida útil devem ser empregadas. O mapeamento para detecção de manifestações patológicas com o emprego de Aeronave Remotamente Pilotada (ARP) popularizada como drone para estudos na área de pavimentação urbana com a finalidade de manter a qualidade e possibilitar o prolongamento de sua vida útil apresenta, ainda, em estágio inicial no sistema de transporte brasileiro. Nesse sentido, o objetivo desse trabalho foi identificar as imperfeições mais comuns em um trecho pavimentado da Avenida Archimedes Pereira Lima na cidade de Cuiabá-MT e verificar a eficácia da câmera RGB (Red, Green e Blue) na identificação dos defeitos encontrados de acordo com a Norma DNIT 005/2003 –TER (Defeitos nos pavimentos flexíveis e semi-rígidos Terminologia). Foram identificadas manifestações patológicas como panelas, desgastes, remendos e trincas e comparou-se medidas de distâncias tomadas na imagem fotogramétrica com as medidas efetuadas na via pavimentada com revestimento asfáltico para cada manifestação detectada.Os resultados encontrados remete potencialidade ao drone na detecção destas manifestações patológicas, indicando a falta de conservação e manutenção apropriada da via.

Abstract
The use of asphalt pavement for the displacement of freight vehicles and people is of great importance for the development of a region or a country where strategies that allow to mitigate the constant problems on the roadway, prolonging its useful life must be employed. Mapping to detect pathological manifestations using a Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) popularized as a drone for studies in the area of urban paving in order to maintain quality and enable the extension of its useful life is still at an early stage in Brazilian transport system. In this sense, the objective of this work is to identify the most common imperfections in a paved section of Avenida Archimedes Pereira Lima in the city of Cuiabá-MT and to verify the effectiveness of the RGB camera (Red, Green and Blue) in identifying the defects found according to the Norm DNIT 005/2003 –TER (Defects in flexible and semi-rigid pavements Terminology). Pathological manifestations such as potholes, wear, patches and cracks were identified and distance measurements taken on the photogrammetric image were compared with measurements taken on the road paved with asphalt for each manifestation detected. The results found refer to the potential of the drone in detecting these pathological manifestations, indicating the lack of conservation and appropriate maintenance of the route..

Combination of flexible intramedullary nailing and Ilizarov frame for salvage of femur and humerus nonunion in a girl with osteogenesis imperfecta

Published: October 2023

Background Fixation of pathological long bones with telescopic intramedullary rods is well known to be a technically challenging procedure even in specialist centres, with a high complication rate due to rod migration, hardware failure, nonunion or malunion. However there is very little guidance in the literature regarding salvage treatment options when failure occurs.Aim We demonstrate a surgical technique that can be used for salvage treatment of both femoral and humeral complex nonunions following Fassier-Duval (FD) rodding in a child with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI).Case description A 13 year-old girl with OI type VIII presented sequentially with nonunion and deformity of the femur then the humerus following previous FD rods in those segments. The femur was also complicated with metallosis between the steel rod and an overlying titanium plate. Both segments were treated with pseudarthrosis debridement, removal of metalwork and stabilisation with hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated flexible intramedullary nails, with temporary Ilizarov frame to provide enough longitudinal and rotational stability to allow immediate weight-bearing. The femur Ilizarov frame was removed after 64 days, and the femur remained straight and fully healed at 2.5 years. The frame time for the humerus was 40 days, complete union was achieved and upper limb function restored and maintained at 9 months.Discussion The transphyseal telescopic rod is the traditional implant of choice in terms of treating fractures and stabilising osteotomies for deformity in OI. However, it does not provide enough torsional or longitudinal stability by itself to allow early weight-bearing which is detrimental to bone healing in this vulnerable patient group. The incidence of delayed union or nonunion at osteotomy site in telescopic rod application is not negligible: up to 14.5-51.5 %. Although the technique we have shown in this case may not be applied to all complex OI patients, we believe that the combination of flexible intramedullary nails and Ilizarov frame provides a favourable environment for bone healing in complex or revision cases. As a secondary learning point the initial revision surgery to the left femur demonstrated the perils of using a steel rod and a titanium plate in a biologically active environment which in this case lead to metallosis and lysis.Conclusion We found the technique of HA-coated flexible intramedullary nails combined with the Ilizarov frame effective in the salvage of failed telescopic rods in both femur and humerus and feel this technique can be used as a salvage option in similar cases worldwide. This case also demonstrates the perils of using different metals in combined internal fixation.

Introduction Mycobacterium abscessus species belongs to the group of non-tuberculosis mycobacteria responsible for chronic infections in people with weakened immunity. M. abscessus exist in various ecological niches and are able to colonize artificial surfaces, including medical and surgical instruments/ devices. Due tothe low incidence of M. abscessus as a causative agent of orthopedic infection, a rare clinical case of periprosthetic infection caused by M.abscessus would interest practitioners.The aim is to present a clinical case of periprosthetic infection caused by M. abscessus.Materials and methods From the medical records and discharge documents, it was known that female patient X. underwent total hip replacement at her residence hospital. Signs of acute infection of the postoperative wound appeared in the early postoperative period.Results Three months later, the patient was hospitalized in a specialized institution with a diagnosis of chronic deep periprosthetic infection. During the examination, the mycobacterial etiology of the process was established. During two hospitalizations, the patient underwent 4 consecutive revision surgeries (including muscle plastic surgery and installation of an antimicrobial spacer) and massive parenteral antibiotic therapy for 8 months, including at the outpatient stage, using at least 3 antibacterial agents. After 4 years, the patient does not complain of the infectious process. Postoperative scar is 45 cm. The residual shortening of the right lower limb of 3 cm was compensated by orthopedic shoes.Discussion Treatment of infection caused by M. abscessus is challenging due to the natural resistance of the pathogen to a wide range of antibacterial drugs. The literature describes separate cases of orthopedic infections caused by this pathogen. All authors agree that the key to successful treatment is a combination of radical surgical debridement and antibacterial therapy using at least three antimicrobial drugs.Conclusion A rare clinical case of periprosthetic infection caused by Mycobacterium abscessus after primary hip replacement is presented. This infectious agent is a rare pathogen, for which there is no proven therapeutic algorithm. Long-term aggressive antibiotic therapy in combination with stage-by-stage surgical treatment was successful.

Background: Late carpal tunnel syndrome following distal radius fracture is a frequent hazard especially after conservative management. Objective was to assess the association of radiological carpal alignment with the intensity of late carpal tunnel syndrome in old Jordanian women during 1 year of distal radius fracture.
Methods: Our retrospective investigation recruited 100 women, aged more than 50 years with unilateral distal radius fracture managed conservatively during one year of the fracture at Royal Jordanian Rehabilitation center, Jordan, between January 2021 to April 2023. Participants were split into 2 groups. Group I comprised of 50 patients with clinical features of late carpal tunnel syndrome (nocturnal or diurnal) and group II comprised of 50 women without clinical features. CTS-6 assessment tool score (1-6) was recorded to evaluate the intensity of the condition. Electrophysiological and radiological evaluation were performed to record carpal alignment. Student t-test was used to assess the variables.
Results: There was a remarkable discrepancy between groups in terms of the radiological variables of carpal alignment (The average of radio-capitate distance, volar tilt and volar prominence height were: -10.69 mm, -19.89 D angle and 1.45 mm, respectively in group I). There was a positive association between reduction in the variables of carpal alignment and the intensity of late CTS. Volar tilt was positively engaged in the late CTS. The threshold of the volar tilt was -19.41 D angle (p<0.005).
Conclusions: Modification of the carpal tunnel following distal radius fracture with carpal dorsal misalignment leads to late CTS. Reducing volar tilt and volar prominence height and radio-capitate distance are the main remarkable independent anticipators of late CTS in non-surgically treated distal radius fracture.
