Patient-centered care evolves around proper coordination between healthcare providers in consultation with patient needs. Oftentimes, children play a passive role in their health care because of the controversy around age and lack of consensual abilities. The impact of engaging children early on to empower decision-making skills has been proven to…[Read more]

It is known that each natural number greater than 1 can be expressed as a unique product of prime numbers, namely the prime factorization. For example, 84=2×2×3×7. By summing up all prime factors of 84, we obtain 2+2+3+7=14. Since 14=2×7, we further sum up all prime factors of 14 to obtain 2+7=9. Since 9=3×3 and 3+3=6, we can continue the same…[Read more]

Tarih boyunca kentler, kültür ve medeniyetlerin doğduğu, geliştiği ve yayıldığı yerler olmuştur. Kentler, tarihsel süreçte insanların çeşitli gereksinimlerinin ürünü olarak sürekli bir gelişme göstermiştir. Bu gelişme sürecinde hem insanlığın birikiminin gelecek kuşaklara taşıyıcısı, hem de taşıdığı uygarlık birikimi ile insanoğlunun geleceğini şe…[Read more]

This working paper presents a 16th- or 17th-century Ottoman translation-cum-commentary of the preface and introduction of one of the classics of Islamicate rhetoric, al-Qazwīnī’s Talkhīṣ al-Miftāḥ (The Key’s Digest), a 14th-century work on rhetoric based on al-Sakkākī’s 13th-century seminal Miftāḥ al-ʿUlūm (The Key of Sciences). This part…[Read more]

The Cairo Genizah is well known as a repository for hundreds of thousands of manuscripts that the Jewish residents of Fustat (Old Cairo) produced and consumed in the premodern period. Foreign “collectors” acquired most of these manuscripts for European libraries in the second half of the nineteenth century, with the majority arriving at the Cam…[Read more]

This article investigates the prosecution of key members of two distinct wings of the Turkish intelligentsia at the dawn of the Cold War. As Turkey emerged from World War II having maintained a delicate neutrality for nearly the entire conflict, the patterns of repression in the public sphere shifted markedly to accommodate both fears of Soviet…[Read more]

A spectrophotometric procedure has been developed for determination of hydrocarbons, vegetable oils, animal fats, waxes, soaps, greases and related oily organic matter in aqueous phase. The water sample is acidified to a low pH (less than or equal to 2) and extracted with trichloroethane (methyl chloroform). Under controlled conditions, the oil…[Read more]

A spectrophotometric procedure has been developed for determination of oil and grease in aqueous phase. The water sample is acidified to a low pH (less than or equal to 2) and extracted with 1,1,2-trichloro-l,2,2-trifluoroethane (Freon 113, or CFC 113). Under controlled conditions, the oil and grease are extractable into a selected organic…[Read more]
