AKLÎ VE TABÎ YAKÎNLER VE MUCİZELERİN RASYONELLİĞİ ÜZERİNE by Necati Demir

“…Mucizeler, maddeci ve seküler kesimlerce Tanrısal düşüncenin akla aykırı, saçmalıklarla dolu olduğuna ilişkin söylentiler olduğu için inanılmaması gereken, bazı dindarlara göre ise, aklı hayrete düşürecek denli olağanüstü olduklarından Tanrı’nın varlığının güçlü işaretleri olduğu için inanılması gereken hadiselerdir. …”

Multilevel determinants of racial/ethnic disparities in severe maternal morbidity and mortality in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in the USA: protocol for a concurrent triang... by Bankole Olatosi, Jiajia Zhang, Xiaoming Li, Chen Liang, Jihong Liu, Peiyin Hung, Shan Qiao, Berry A Campbell, Myriam E Torres, Neset Hikmet

“…Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic has affected communities of colour the hardest. Non-Hispanic black and Hispanic pregnant women appear to have disproportionate SARS-CoV-2 infection and death rates.Methods and analysis We will use the socioecological framework and employ a concurrent triangulation, mixed-methods study design to achieve three specific aims: (1) examine the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on racial/ethnic disparities in severe maternal morbidity and mortality (SMMM); (2) explore how social contexts (eg, racial/ethnic residential segregation) have contributed to the widening of racial/ethnic disparities in SMMM during the pandemic and identify distinct mediating pathways through maternity care and mental health; and (3) determine the role of social contextual factors on racial/ethnic disparities in pregnancy-related morbidities using machine learning algorithms. …”

Form factors of $$\varLambda _b^0 \rightarrow \varLambda _c(2595)^+$$ Λ b 0 → Λ c ( 2595 ) + within light-cone QCD sum rules by Hui-Hui Duan, Yong-Lu Liu, Qin Chang, Ming-Qiu Huang

“…Utilizing the light-cone QCD sum rules approach, we incorporated the contributions of the lowest two charm baryon states: the ground state $$\varLambda _c$$ Λ c with $$J^P=\frac{1}{2}^+$$ J P = 1 2 + and the excited state $$\varLambda _c(2595)^+$$ Λ c ( 2595 ) + with $$J^P=\frac{1}{2}^-$$ J P = 1 2 - in the hadronic representation of the $$\varLambda _b \rightarrow \varLambda _c(2595)^+$$ Λ b → Λ c ( 2595 ) + transition correlation function. …”

Adjusting (AlNi)/(FeCr) ratio to tailor microstructure and properties of A2-B2 dual-phase (AlNi)x(FeCr)100-x medium-entropy alloys by Guijiang Diao, Mingyu Wu, Anqiang He, Zhen Xu, Dhruv Bajaj, Daolun Chen, Ranran Fang, Anatoliy Vorobyev, Q.Y. Li, Dongyang Li

“…Compressive tests and EBSD analyses indicated that the presence of the core zone having a structure of B2 matrix embedded with A2 nanoparticles was particularly effective for enhancing the strain-hardening capacity and wear resistance. This study demonstrates a simple way, via directly adjusting the fraction ratio of (AlNi) to (FeCr), to control the heterogeneous structure of this MEA system for desirable properties, which can be extended to other A2-B2 dual-phase multi-principal element alloy systems.…”

Inhibitory Effect on Cerebral Inflammatory Response following Traumatic Brain Injury in Rats: A Potential Neuroprotective Mechanism of N-Acetylcysteine by Gang Chen, Jixin Shi, Zhigang Hu, Chunhua Hang

“…In this work, we investigated the effect of NAC administration on cortical expressions of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and inflammatory proteins such as interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) after TBI. As a result, we found that NF-κB, proinflammatory cytokines, and ICAM-1 were increased in all injured animals. …”
