Bu çalışma gerçekliğin yeniden üretimini, sinemadaki anlatı kavramı ekseninde ele alarak, Ken Loach’un I, Daniel Blake (Ben, Blake, 2016) filmi örneğinde tartışmaya çalışmıştır. Çalışmada, sinemasal anlatıların, siyasi ya da ideolojik fikirler doğrultusunda biçimlenişi üzerinde durulmaktadır. Loach sinemasının bu çalışmaya konu edilmesinde, dünyanın en zengin ülkelerinden biri olan İngiltere va...

Subterranean biodiversity in Europe is spectacularly rich, with the Western Balkans being home to about 400 cave species, representing the highest number of species per area worldwide [1]. Nonetheless, cave fishes, which are the most commonly found vertebrates in underground habitats [2], have not been described from Europe so far [3]. Here, we report the first European record of a cave fish po...

One thousand three hundred seventy three fish specimens of eight different species from the vicinity of Kyiv, Ukraine, were examined for the presence of trypanosomes and 921 individuals were found to be infected. The prevalence of infection ranged from 24% in freshwater bream, Abramis brama (Linnaeus), to 100% in spined loach, Cobitis 'taenia' Linnaeus. The level of parasitaemia also varied sig...

cobitis avicennae is a new described species from iranian part of the tigris basin and little information is available on its different aspects of its biology and holomorphology. hence, this study was conducted to provide a detailed description of its osteological features. for this purpose, the specimens of c. avicennae were cleared and stained and a detailed description of its skeletal struct...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) exert important roles in animal growth, immunity, and development, and regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Knowledges about the diversities of miRNAs and their roles in accessory air-breathing organs (ABOs) of fish remain unknown. In this work, we used high-throughput sequencing to identify known and novel miRNAs from the posterior intestine, an import...
