Determination of the factors affecting the car users’ satisfaction, The Case of Afyonkarahisar Otomobil Kullanıcılarının Tatminin Etkileyen Faktörlerin Belirlenmesi, Afyonkarahisar Örneği

The automotive sector has an important place in our country as in the world, depending on the values it has created both domestic and foreign, for the country's economies. When the automotive sector is evaluated with its share in production and its economic contribution rate, it is seen that it is among the leading sectors in the manufacturing industry. The share of the sector in the total production of the manufacturing industry is above the sector average. The automotive industry is the main product buyer of basic industry branches such as iron and steel, light metals, petro-chemistry, rubber and plastics due to its structure. In addition, all kinds of motor vehicles required by the tourism, infrastructure and construction, transportation and agriculture sectors are provided with automotive industry products. This situation, which shows the sector's connection with other sectors, causes the automotive sector to have a great impact on the economy of the country where it is located. The automotive industry has a deep impact on society and the environment and also there is an important competitive environment in the automotive industry as in many other sectors in today's global world. This competition among companies has become more important issue of customer satisfaction and loyalty. Determining what needs to be done to ensure customer satisfaction is a guide for companies and also an important part of customeroriented. Therefore, the factors that ensure customer satisfaction in the automotive industry were determined and a study was carried out on these factors. The purpose of the article is to identify the factors that affect the satisfaction of car users and to determine how they can be developed. For this purpose, a survey was conducted on 412 car users. Correlation coefficients, t-tests and variance analysis methods were used in the analysis of the data collected through the survey. According to the results of the study, a significant and positive relationship was found between structural quality, durability, costs, driving quality, and comfort with satisfaction level.
Cultures of Transnational Adoption

During the 1990s, the number of children adopted from poorer countries to the more affluent West grew exponentially. Close to 140,000 transnational adoptions occurred in the United States alone. While in an earlier era, adoption across borders was assumed to be straightforward—a child traveled to a new country and stayed there—by the late twentieth century, adoptees were expected to acquaint themselves with the countries of their birth and explore their multiple identities. Listservs, Web sites, and organizations creating international communities of adoptive parents and adoptees proliferated. With contributors including several adoptive parents, this unique collection looks at how transnational adoption creates and transforms cultures. The cultural experiences considered in this volume raise important questions about race and nation; about kinship, biology, and belonging; and about the politics of the sending and receiving nations. Several essayists explore the images and narratives related to transnational adoption. Others examine the recent preoccupation with “roots” and “birth cultures. ” They describe a trip during which a group of Chilean adoptees and their Swedish parents traveled “home” to Chile, the “culture camps” attended by thousands of young-adult Korean adoptees whom South Korea is now eager to reclaim as “overseas Koreans,” and adopted children from China and their North American parents grappling with the question of what “Chinese” or “Chinese American” identity might mean. Essays on Korean birth mothers, Chinese parents who adopt children within China, and the circulation of children in Brazilian families reveal the complexities surrounding adoption within the so-called sending countries. Together, the contributors trace the new geographies of kinship and belonging created by transnational adoption. Contributors.

Who creates jobs with broad skillsets? The crucial role of firms

Our study investigates the heterogeneity of skill demands within occupations, the firm activities that are associated with demand for broader skill sets, and the firm characteristics that are relat - ed to particular skills and different combinations of skills. We use a unique matched database of firm-level data and online job vacancy data for a developing economy, namely, India. Employing a multi-level machine learning technique and an innovative skill taxonomy, we identify and categorize skill requirements of firms. Our empirical analysis provides robust evidence of significant heterogeneity in skill requirements across firms within the same occupations. Additionally, we show that firms demanding diverse skills differ from their counterparts. Firms that are compet - itive in international markets, as well as those that are more innovative, require digital skills and specific combinations of digital and other skills. Our findings highlight the crucial role played by firms in defining the changing nature of work
EFFECT OF COLLABORATIVE INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGY ON ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AND RETENTION AMONG SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS IN DUTSINMA EDUCATION ZONAL QUALITY ASSURANCE, KATSINA STATE, NIGERIA

This study investigated the effect of Collaborative Teaching Strategy on Academic performance and Retention among Senior Secondary school students in Dutsinma Education Zonal Quality Assurance, Katsina State, Nigeria. The study was guided by four objectives among which is, ‘to Determine the difference between academic performance of Biology students taught using Collaborative teaching strategy and those taught using chalk/talk method’, from which four research questions were generated, among which is, ‘What is the difference between the mean academic performance scores of biology students taught using Collaborative Teaching and those taught using Chalk/Talk method’? And four null Hypotheses were generated and analyzed, of the hypothesis is, ‘there is no significant difference between the mean academic performance scores of biology students taught using Collaborative Teaching and those taught using chalk/talk method’. A quasi-experimental research design using the pre-test, post-test, and post-post-test control group was adopted. The population of the study comprised 3,761 SS II students. Two intact classes containing 158 students (Experimental group = 81 and Control group = 77) were used in this study. A 30-item multiplechoice Biology Performance Test with reliability (Pearson Product Moment Correlation r= 0.720) was used to collect data. The treatment and data collection process lasted for eight weeks. The data collected were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and independent ttests. The result of the findings shows that there is a significant difference in the academic performance of the experimental and control groups (p=0.000.05) and retention scores (p=0.32>0.05) of male and female students in the experimental group. It was therefore concluded that collaborative teaching strategies have a more significant effect on students’ performance in biology than the traditional chalk/talk method. On the basis of findings from the study, it was recommended among others that, teachers of biology should adopt the use of collaborative teaching strategy to improve academic performance and retention ability among students regardless of gender.
Variability in day-to-day travel: analysis of a 28-day GPS survey

As part of a pilot test of the use of geographic positioning systems (GPS) as a tool for evaluating voluntary travel behaviour change (VTBC) strategies, ITLS set up a panel of approximately 50 households. Persons in the panel households who were over 14 years old have been asked to carry GPS devices with them for a period of 28 days. At this time, two waves of the panel have been conducted, although analysis has only been performed on the data of one wave, which is the subject of this paper. While the principal interests for the pilot survey relate to the use of the GPS panels as an evaluation tool, this paper concentrates on looking at what we can learn about the variability in day-to-day travel.

Awareness and Perception About Research Ethics and Misconduct Among the Teaching Staff of Health Colleges, Jazan University, Saudi Arabia

Background: Despite adopting biomedical research ethics rules, regulations, and statements, unethical behavior is pervasive and frequently reported. This study assessed the perception and awareness of research Ethics and Misconduct among the Teaching Staff of Health Colleges at Jazan University, southwest Saudi Arabia. Purpose: This research aimed to assess the awareness and perception of research ethics and misconduct among the teaching staff of the health colleges at Jazan University in southwest Saudi Arabia. Methods: Observational cross-sectional study targeted 424 faculty members randomly chosen from health-related colleges at Jazan University. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data using a web-based survey. Results: The overall level of knowledge about medical ethics indicated that more than half of respondents (57.8%) had a good level of knowledge, 23.4% had a fair level of knowledge, and only 18.4% had poor knowledge. The Saudi National Committee on Bioethics was only known by 49.5% of the study participants. In addition, just 48.3% of respondents knew Saudi Arabia's national standards of ethics and principles for conducting scientific research. The knowledge of research ethics was found to be significantly (P<0.05) higher in participants with higher academic positions, such as professors, MD degree holders, and participants with more extensive work experience. About 48.2% reported that the severity of penalties for scientific misconduct would highly affect scientific integrity, and 74.3% found that their understanding of rules and procedures related to scientific misconduct has a very high effect on scientific integrity. Poor knowledge of research ethics is typically associated with an individual's academic job title, as "lecturer" showed a lower level of knowledge in comparison to other job titles. Even though about 50% of participants in the study had a good understanding of research ethics, it's crucial to ensure that all faculty members have a universal understanding. Therefore, it's essential to implement an appropriate research ethics training program.
Transactional associations of child irritability and anxiety with parent psychological control in Taiwanese school‐aged children

Abstract Background Child irritability and anxiety are associated with parent psychological control; yet their transactional relations over time are not well‐characterized at the within‐person level. Research addressing generalizability of past Western‐based literature in non‐Western, collectivist community samples is lacking. Methods Sample comprised 285 children aged 8.8–11.4 years (145 girls; Mage = 9.9 years, SD = 0.6) in Northern Taiwan. Participants were assessed at baseline (T1), 6‐month (T2), and 12‐month (T3) follow‐ups. Child irritability and anxiety symptoms were assessed using parent‐rated Child Behavior Checklist. Parent psychological control was assessed using the parent‐ and child‐rated Psychological Control Scale. Within‐person processes were specified using the random‐intercept cross‐lagged panel models. Results Models showed that psychological control predicted increased child irritability when analyzing parenting data from parents and children. However, the lagged effect from psychological control to child anxiety was only seen in parent‐rated parenting data. We found limited evidence for a back‐and‐forth transactional pathway among constructs. Child irritability predicted increased child anxiety in all models. Conclusions Directional effects from psychological control to child irritability and anxiety support parent‐involved interventions that prioritize collaborative parenting and positive reinforcement techniques. Future validations in combined clinical and typically developing samples and direct cross‐cultural comparisons are warranted.

Methionine restriction improve insulin resistance by reducingmitochondria oxidative stress

Type 2 diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder whose prevalence has been increasing steadily worldwide and is closelylinked to the epidemic of obesity. The most common features of Type 2 Diabetes are hyperglycemia, insulin resistance,and relative insulin deficiency. Insulin resistance refers to incorrect responses to insulin among cells whose physiologydepends on insulin, such as adipocytes and cardiomyocytes. Methionine is an essential amino acid, so it must beconsumed in the diet to avoid neurological impairment and visual symptoms caused by methionine deficiency. Thisprovides a potential explanation that methionine restriction can alleviate insulin resistance by regulating mTORC1. Thisstudy aims to investigate the effect of methionine restriction on insulin resistance and mitochondria oxidative stress.

The Effect Family Ownership on Firm Risk: The Role of Professional CEO

This study aims to examine whether family ownership impacts firm risk. This argument is due to the uniqueness of the family company in running its business, which prioritizes not only financial aspects but also non-financial aspects. In addition, this study also aims to examine the moderating effect of the professional CEO on the relationship between family ownership and firm risk. The samples used in this study are family firms in the manufacturing industry, listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2015 to 2019. The total 245 observations will be tested with Panel Data regression. The results found that family ownership has a negative effect on firm risk. The result indicates that the company tries to maintain the family's wealth. In addition, professional CEOs are able to act more realistically and independently, thus weakening the relationship between family ownership and firm risk. In practice, the results of this study are expected to help various stakeholders understand how family ownership can affect firm risk.
Knowledge, Attitude and Practice on Biologicals and Biosimilars among Clinicians in Radiotherapy Department

Background: The decoding of human genome helped to design pharmacological agents like Biologicals and Biosimilars which can target the affected etiological aberrations. Biological agents are large complex molecules produced by recombinant techniques in a living system for therapeutic or diagnostic uses and have revolutionized treatment of many diseases. Patent expiry of Biologicals has led to the development of Biosimilars which are similar in efficacy & safety and have no clinically meaningful differences, but are not identical to Biologicals and undergo fewer clinical trials than their reference biologicals. Clinicians’ in- depth knowledge of these agents is important to optimize the use of cost-effective & easily accessible options. Methods: This is a cross sectional observational study conducted between Feb-March 2020 in Radiotherapy/ Chemotherapy Oncology Department of Dr B.R. A.M. Hospital & Pt. J. N. M. Medical College, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, using a self-administered, structured questionnaire consisting of 15-question among 30 clinicians prescribing Biologicals and Biosimilars. Results: 83.3% of clinicians were familiar with the term ‘Biologicals’ & ‘Biosimilars’. 60% believed that Biosimilars are same as Generic Medicines and have the same potency as Biologicals. 53% assumed that Biologicals & Biosimilars can be switched. 50% were able to explain the difference or similarity between Biologicals and Biosimilars. Conclusion: The findings reveal that the clinicians had good knowledge about Biologicals and Biosimilars but lacked application of this knowledge in clinical practice. This highlights a need for regular educational initiative to reduce the knowledge deficit & its application in clinical practice. Further, there must be a National Treatment Guidelines on use of Biologicals and Biosimilars.
C.E.O. characteristics and corporate risk-taking: evidence from emerging markets

Although the Upper Echelon Theory predicts that C.E.O.s play a relevant role in corporate risk-taking, the C.E.O.s ’ traits that can be associated with such risk are not well-explored. Our study fills this gap and shows the effect of C.E.O.s ’ characteristics on corporate risk-taking of a hand-collected sample of 369 Latin American listed firms. We study six traits: C.E.O.s ’ age, tenure, gender, duality (i.e., holding concurrent Chairman and C.E.O. roles), educational background, and career horizon. We find that age increases risk-taking. However, when the C.E.O. ’ s age reaches a given point, their concern about reputation and retirement results in a negative relationship. We also find that as C.E.O. tenure increases, corporate risk begins to decrease. Nevertheless, there comes a point at which the C.E.O. uses their knowledge and their overconfidence to make risky financial decisions. Female C.E.O.s are negatively related to risk-taking, while C.E.O. duality, C.E.O. educational background, foreign C.E.O.s, and a C.E.O. ’ s career horizon have the opposite effect. Our study is novel because of the focus on emerging markets and because of the use of different market-based measures of risk-taking. We provide policymakers, investors, and practitioners with fresh evidence about how C.E.O.s ’ risk aversion shapes the firm ’ s risk-taking behaviour.
É vida, olha… : Imperatives as discourse markers and grammaticalization paths in Romance

In this paper, we investigate the evolution from imperatives to discourse markers in Romance, with a corpus-based approach. We focus on the case of items coming from verbs meaning ‘to look’, in a semasiological perspective: Spanish and Catalan mira , Portuguese olha , Italian guarda , French regarde , Romanian uite . We show that they all share many uses, among which turn-taking, introduction of reported speech, hesitation phenomenon, topic-shifting and modalization, except for French regarde . We then establish (against Waltereit, 2002) that the development of these uses is the result of a process of grammaticalization, from lexical, clause-internal uses to uses as discourse markers, in a cline which tends to confirm the predictions made by Brinton and Traugott (2005). The lesser grammaticalization of French regarde could seem unimportant, but is in apparent contradiction with the now well-established fact that French is, of all Romance languages, the most grammaticalized. We try, in conclusion, to address this paradox: is French not so grammaticalized after all, or is this just an exception to the rule?
