Published: August 2022

Sosyal sorumluluk, işletmelerin kendi çıkarları yanında toplumun refahının korunması ve artırılmasına yönelik çabaları kapsamında ortaya çıkmıştır. Günümüzde kuruluşlar ekonomik gelişmeden, toplum sağlığına, eğitimden spora çok çeşitli konularda sosyal sorumluluk çalışmaları yürütmektedir. Kuşkusuz bunlar içinde doğa ve çevreye yönelik olanlar son yıllarda giderek yaygınlaşmıştır. Ağaçlandırma çalışmaları da bu kapsamda yer almaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı, ağaçlandırma çalışmalarını kapsayan sosyal sorumluluk projeleri hakkında bilgi vermek ve bu çalışmaların kapsamını değerlendirmektir. Bu çerçevede Türkiye İş Bankası tarafından gerçekleştirilen “81 İlde 81 Orman” projesi örnek olarak seçilmiştir. Çalışmada temel veri toplama yöntemi olarak yapılandırılmış görüşme tekniğinden yararlanılmış ve sosyal sorumluluk projesinin amaçları, projenin işleyiş süreci, ulaşılan sonuçlar gibi konularda sorulara yer verilmiştir. Ulaşılan veriler nitel olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular ışığında bu tip çalışmalarda hedef kitleyi bilgilendirecek yönde etkinlikler gerçekleştirilmesi, uygun dikim tekniklerinin kullanılması, tamamlama ve bakım çalışmalarına önem verilmesinin gerekliliği ortaya çıkmıştır. Hem ağaçlandırma hem de ormancılığın diğer alanlarında yapılabilecek sosyal sorumluluk projelerinin, projeyi yürüten ve destek olan kuruluşlara olumlu yansıması olacağı gibi çevresel, sosyal, ekonomik ve kültürel bakımdan topluma da önemli katkılar sağlayacağı açıktır. Bu noktada doğa ve ormancılıkla ilgili sosyal sorumluluk projelerinin yapılması yönünde fikirlerin oluşturulmasına destek olunması ve teşviklerin geliştirilmesi önem taşımaktadır.

Published: August 2022

Günümüz kentlerinin yapılaşma ve artan nüfus nedenleri ile yeşil alanlara olan ihtiyacı günden güne artmaktadır. Özellikle kentlilerin rekreasyon ihtiyaçlarının karşılanması ve doğal alanlarla iç içe olabilme isteği, kent içi ve yakın çevrelerindeki kent ormanlarını, mesire alanlarını ve tabiat parklarını en çok ilgi gören doğal alanlar içine almaktadır. Tabiat parkları, doğal alanların korunmasını sağlayarak, kentlilerin bu parklardan dinlenme, izleme, okuma, piknik yapma, fotoğraf çekme, spor yapma gibi farklı biçimlerde yaralanmasına olanak sunan alanlardır. Doğal güzellikler, rekreatif çeşitlilik ve sunulan hizmetler tabiat parklarının kullanım tercihlerinde oldukça etkili parametrelerdir. Çalışmada Trabzon ili Akçaabat ilçesinin Yıldızlı mahallesinde yer alan Sera Gölü Tabiat Parkı’nda kullanıcı memnuniyetinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. 1950 yılında meydana gelen heyelan neticesinde oluşan Göl’ün bitkisel dokusu ve doğal manzara güzelliği oldukça etkili peyzajlar sunmaktadır. 100 kişilik bir kullanıcı grubu ile anket çalışması gerçekleştirilmiş ve sonuçlar değerlendirilmiştir. Sonuç olarak kullanıcıların Sera Gölü Tabiat Parkından gelen anlamda memnuniyet duydukları tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca alanda bulunan Göl’den sadece görsel olarak yararlanabildikleri, kıyı dışında alanın yeşil dokusu içerisinde yürüyüş yolları ve seyir teraslarının yapılması isteğinin öne çıktığı belirlenmiştir.
Odun polimer kompozitlerin doğal ve yapay (suni) yaşlandırma sonrası özelliklerinde meydana gelen değişiklikler
Authors: AVCI Büşra , DÖNMEZ ÇAVDAR Ayfer , MENGELOĞLU Fatih
Published: August 2022

Odun Polimer Kompozitler (OPK), termoplastik matris ve selüloz esaslı takviye / dolgu maddesinin birleştirilmesiyle oluşturulan kompozitlerin genel adıdır. OPK’ler özellikle dış cephe ve zemin kaplaması, çit, bahçe mobilyası gibi uygulamalarda tercih edilmektedir. OPK’lerin ahşap malzemeye göre başlıca avantajları yüksek boyutsal kararlılık, mantar ve böceklere karşı dayanıklılık ve kullanım süreleri boyunca düşük bakım gereksinimi sayılabilir. Bununla birlikte, bu malzemelerin dış hava koşullarında bozunmaya uğraması büyük bir dezavantaj oluşturmaktadır. Bu nedenle, dış mekan uygulamalarında OPK’lerin diğer polimer esaslı kompozitlere göre performansı genellikle daha düşüktür. Polimerik malzemeler çevresel faktörlerin etkisiyle fiziksel, kimyasal, biyolojik süreçler veya bunların kombinasyonu ile bozunmaya uğramaktadırlar. Sıcaklık (termal bozunma), hava (oksidatif bozunma), nem (hidrolitik bozunma), mikroorganizmalar (biyobozunma), ışık (foto bozunma), yüksek enerjili radyasyon (ultra viyole (UV), ışınlama), kimyasal (korozyon) ve mekanik etkenler gibi faktörler malzemede geri dönüştürülemez değişiklikler meydana getirebilmektedir. Bu faktörlerin etkilerini belirlemek amacıyla, doğal ve suni yaşlandırma yapılarak polimer yapısındaki değişiklikler belirlenmektedir. Bu literatür çalışmasında OPK’ler üzerinde ilgili konuda gerçekleştirilen çalışmaların detaylı bir özet ve analizi sunulmaktadır.

Published: August 2022

Dünya nüfusunda meydana gelen artışa bağlı olarak orman ürünlerinin kullanımı yaygınlaşmıştır. Ancak, artan orman ürünleri ihtiyacını ekosistemi tehlikeye sokmadan karşılamak dikkat edilmesi gereken en önemli husus olmaktadır. Bu bakımdan ormanlardan elde edilen ağaç malzemelerin kullanım sürelerinin arttırılması araştırmacıların ilgi duyduğu konular arasında yer almaktadır.  Bu çalışma ile ülkemizde doğal olarak oldukça fazla yayılış alanı gösteren, Karadeniz bölgesinde bolca bulunmasına rağmen endüstriyel olarak bir değeri bulunmayan kızılağacın (Alnus glutinosa subsp. barbata) kullanım ömrünün arttırılarak endüstriyel alanlara kazandırılması hedeflenmiştir. Çalışmada referans ürün olarak endüstride sıklıkla kullanılan sarıçam (Pinus sylvestris L.) odunundan elde edilen emprenyeli kamelyalar kullanılmıştır. Tanalith E ve Celcure AC 500 ile emprenye edilmiş kızılağaç ve sarıçamdan hazırlanan kamelyalar dış ortam koşullarına maruz bırakılmıştır. Daha sonra örneklerin biyolojik dayanımı (Coniophora puteana ve Poria placenta) ve yıkanma mekanizması incelenmiştir. Çürüklük testi EN 113 standardına göre, yıkanma testi AWPA E11 standardına göre yapılmış, yıkanmış su örnekleri ICP-MS cihazı ile bakır analizine tabi tutulmuştur. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre çürüklük testinde emprenyeli ağaç malzemenin ağırlık kaybı kontrol gruplarına göre çok daha düşük oranda tespit edilmiştir. Bununla birlikte, en düşük yıkanma ve bakır oranları ise sarıçam odunu esaslı kamelya örneklerinde belirlenmiştir.

Published: August 2022

Plastikler hayatımızın birçok alanında yıllardır kullanılmakta olup kullanım ömrü sonunda önemli miktarda atık oluşturmaktadır. Doğada uzun yıllar bozunmadan kalan ve çevreye zarar veren bu malzemelerin geri dönüştürülüp tekrar kullanıma kazandırılması önem taşımaktadır. Termoplastik köpük malzemeler düşük yoğunluk, yüksek spesifik mukavemet, yüksek enerji absorblama özellikleri ve üstün yalıtım özelliklerinden dolayı ısı yalıtımı, otomotiv koltukları, ambalaj malzemeleri ve enerji absorblayıcı (soğurucu) malzemeler olarak yaygın bir şekilde kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, en çok kullanılan plastiklerden biri olan ve önemli miktarda atık oluşturan polivinil klorür (PVC)’ün geri dönüşüm yoluyla termoplastik köpük malzemelerin üretiminde kullanımı amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla kapı ve pencere profil atıklarından elde edilen atık PVC kullanılarak termoplastik köpük malzemeler üretilmiştir. PVC köpük malzemelerin bazı fiziksel, mekanik ve morfolojik özellikleri üzerine kimyasal köpük oluşturucu miktarının etkisi incelenmiştir. Üretilen PVC köpük malzemelerde kimyasal köpük oluşturucu malzeme miktarının artması ile PVC köpüklerin yoğunluk değerlerinde %40’lara kadar bir azalma sağlanmıştır. PVC köpüklerin spesifik darbe direnci değerleri kimyasal köpük oluşturucu miktarı ile doğrusal bir şekilde artış göstermiştir. Köpüklerin hücre yapısı incelendiğinde ise kimyasal köpük oluşturucu miktarının artması ile hücre birleşmelerinin meydana geldiği ve daha büyük hücrelerin oluştuğu gözlemlenmiştir.
Complicating the Resilience Model: A Four-Country Study About Misinformation
Authors: Boulianne Shelley , Tenove Chris , Buffie Jordan
Published: August 2022

The resilience model to disinformation (Humprecht et al., 2020, 2021) suggests that countries will differ in exposure and reactions to disinformation due to their distinct media, economic, and political environments. In this model, higher media trust and the use of public service broadcasters are expected to build resilience to disinformation, while social media use and political polarization undermine resilience. To further test and develop the resilience model, we draw on a four-country (the US, Canada, the UK, and France) survey conducted in February 2021. We focus on three individual-level indicators of a lack of resilience: awareness of, exposure to, and sharing of misinformation. We find that social media use is associated with higher levels of all three measures, which is consistent with the resilience model. Social media use decreases resilience to misinformation. Contrary to the expectations of the resilience model, trust in national news media does not build resilience. Finally, we consider the use of public broadcasting media (BBC, France Télévisions, and CBC). The use of these sources does not build resilience in the short term. Moving forward, we suggest that awareness of, exposure to, and reactions to misinformation are best understood in terms of social media use and left–right ideology. Furthermore, instead of focusing on the US as the exceptional case of low resilience, we should consider the UK as the exceptional case of high resilience to misinformation. Finally, we identify potential avenues to further develop frameworks to understand and measure resilience to misinformation.
Media Use and Societal Perceptions: The Dual Role of Media Trust
Authors: Shehata Adam , Strömbäck Jesper
Published: August 2022

How citizens’ perceptions of societal problems are shaped by media use has been a critical question in media effects research for decades. This study addresses a specific puzzle concerning media effects in contemporary fragmented media environments: the dual role of media trust as both (a) an antecedent variable guiding news selection and (b) a moderator variable conditioning the effects of news use on perceptions of societal problems. Building upon the differential susceptibility to media effects model, we analyze the role of media trust for citizens’ orientation towards mainstream and alternative news media—and how such usage influences perceptions of two major societal issues: health care and school. Findings from a four-wave panel survey conducted in Sweden suggest that public service and alternative news use matter for citizens’ perceptions of societal problems and that media trust influences news choices and may, partly, condition media effects.

Published: August 2022

Mixed-methods studies are increasing in information systems research, as they deliver robust and insightful inferences combining qualitative and quantitative research. However, there is considerable divergence in conducting such studies and reporting their findings. Therefore, we aim (1) to evaluate how mixed-methods studies have developed in information systems research under the existence of heavily used guidelines and (2) to reflect on those observations in terms of potential for future research. During our review, we identified 52 mixed-methods papers and quantitatively elaborated on the adherence to the three core concepts of mixed-methods in terms of purpose, meta-inferences, and validation. Findings discover that only eight adhere to all three of them. We discuss the significance of our results for current and upcoming mixed-methods research and derive specific suggestions for authors. With our study, we contribute to mixed-methods research by showing how to leverage the insights from existing guidelines to strengthen future research and by contributing to the discussion of the legislation associated with research guidelines, in general, presenting the status quo in current literature.
A Dense Block Model Representing Western Continental United States Deformation for the 2023 Update to the National Seismic Hazard Model
Authors: Evans Eileen L.
Published: August 2022

Seismic hazard assessment, such as the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM), relies on estimates of fault slip rate based on geology and/or geodetic observations such as the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), including the Global Positioning System. Geodetic fault slip rates may be estimated within a 3D spherical block model, in which the crust is divided into microplates bounded by mapped faults; fault slip rates are determined by the relative rotations of adjacent microplates. Uncertainty in selecting appropriate block-bounding faults and in forming closed microplates has limited the interpretability of block models for seismic hazard modeling. By introducing an automated block closure algorithm and regularizing the resulting densely spaced block model with total variation regularization, I develop the densest and most complete block model of the western continental United States to date. The model includes 853 blocks bounded by 1017 geologically identified fault sections from the USGS NSHM Fault Sections database. Microplate rotations and fault slip rates are constrained by 4979 GNSS velocities and 1243 geologic slip rates. I identify a regularized solution that fits the GNSS velocity field with a root mean square misfit of 1.9 mm/yr and reproduces 57% of geologic slip rates within reported geologic uncertainty and model sensitivity, consistent with other geodetic-based models in this Focus Section. This block model includes slip on faults that are not included in the USGS NSHM Fault sections database (but are required to form closed blocks) for an estimate of “off-fault” deformation of 3.62×1019  N·m/yr, 56% of the total calculated moment accumulation rate in the model.
Traditional care providers vs. digital care providers
Authors:   , Ali Mohamed Abdelsalam , Gefen David
Published: August 2022

In today's competitive market in the healthcare industry, medical technologies and digital innovations are essential elements in developing an organizational advantage in care delivery against traditional care organizations. Given how broad the discussion is around digital health, cost, and adoption, the focus of this research is on mobile care apps as one example of digital innovation. We studied the behavioral intention of patients to switch between the mobile method and other traditional care delivery models by asking the question of what factors influence patient's perceived value in care delivery, and to what extent do such factors influence patient's behavioral intention to stay with their current provider or to switch to another provider. Therefore, the main objective that this study aims to achieve is to provide strategic insights to senior healthcare executives at traditional care delivery organizations, such as insurance companies and healthcare systems, on how healthcare customers perceive value and value care experience, and how such perception may influence the consumer's behavioral intention to switch providers. Building on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Gefen's papers on trust and perceived contract violation were an integral part of this quantitative empirical research. TAM, trust, planned behavior, perceived value, and perceived contract violation, as well as their impact on both consumer behavior and the decision-making process in seeking care, played an important role in our analysis. Furthermore, we hypothesized the behavioral intention to switch provider is influenced by multiple key factors such as perceived value, perceived control, perceived contract violation, financial support, and access to care. In terms of potential limitations and weaknesses of this research, the simplified approach to the problem, its application to healthcare only, the small sample size, and the focus on certain regional and specific digital applications or solutions were considered potential weaknesses.
Developing Supply Chain Resilience to Disruptions
Authors:   , Cullinane Joan Barrett , Arinze Orakwue Bay , Nag Rajiv
Published: August 2022

The effectiveness of a supply chain in managing unexpected emergent disruptive events depends on the organization's supply chain resilience, an increasingly critical element in the field of supply chain management. Firms are increasingly exposed to disruptions that affect supply chain commitments and operations. The purpose of this research is to identify the key determinants of supply chain resilience among the many supply chain elements and types of relationships. The research also specifically investigates how all these determinants vary in importance based on the level of the extended supply chain that the organization resides in. It investigates the effects of variables such as supply chain benevolence, risk management infrastructure, mindful organizing, top management orientation, disruption orientation, supply chain norms, and credibility on supply chain resilience. The empirical research collected data from global manufacturing firms using a survey, which was analyzed in a moderated-mediated model. The findings confirm the complexity of supply chain orientation as multiple interactions such as supply chain norms and credibility had a significant positive effect on supply chain resilience. Benevolence was also found to positively affect supply chain resilience between external manufacturers and their sub-tier supplier of components, but not in the external manufacturer-OEM relationship. The findings further suggest that supply chain firms simply recognizing approaching disruptions ahead of time is insufficient in isolation, they must also be patient, defend their supply chain relationships, and be willing to make cooperative changes together with supply chain partners to strengthen supply chain resilience. The findings also showed that mindful organizing can be a significant influence on resilience in some instances, but in most, it counterintuitively pulls time and energy away from more productive activity within the supply chain to the detraction of resilience. This research finally discusses the study implications and limitations.

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of anthropometric variables and flexibility on the performance of women aged 55+ years on abdominal test protocols. The sample was composed by 20 physically active volunteers, aged 55 years (median 61), who were participants in gymnastic activities program. Each volunteer performed two abdominal tests: partial trunk flexion with a 7.6 cm sliding of the hands (P1) and partial flexion of the trunk with the hands on the thighs (P2), both executed with the feet resting on the ground. For analysis, the number of correct executions (final position) was considered in each test, as recommended by the authors. Measurements of body mass, flexibility, height, waist and hip perimeters, subjective perception of exertion, and calculations of body mass index and waist-hip ratio were performed. The perception of abdominal effort, and discomfort or pain in the cervical and lumbar region were also evaluated. The results showed that there were no statistically significant associations between the analyzed indicators (Age: P1: rs = -0.024, p = 0.916; P2: rs = -0.194, p = 0.407; BMI: P1: rs =-0.064, p = 0.792; P2: rs = -0.235, p= 0.327; Waist Circumference: P1: rs = -0.143, p = 0.563; P2: rs = 0.027, p = 0.908; Flexibility: r s= -0.327, p = 0.169; P2: rs = 0.0009, p = 0.991; Hip waist ratio: P1: rs = -0.209, p = 0.371; P2: rs = 0.217, p = 0.353) and the performance on the tests. In addition, 35% of the participants made valid attempts on P1 while 45% produced at least one valid attempt on P2. It was concluded that both abdominal tests were adequate for the studied sample and they can be applied to adult and elderly women to assess their abdominal musculature.

Introduction: Functional physical capacity is indirectly associated with mortality, and may be compromised after a cardiovascular event, hence the importance of considering its prognostic factors during treatment in heart disease patients. Aim: To identify the prognostic factors of functional physical limitation in patients with myocardial revascularization for acute coronary syndrome. Material and method: A retrospective analysis was carried out of 29 medical records taken from patients submitted to a stress test (Bruce, modified Bruce) after myocardial revascularization during the months of January to December 2019. For the statistical analysis, a univariate and multivariate logistic regression (Odds Ratio-OR) was performed, as well as a simple linear regression analysis between the variables of interest. Results: the analyzed patients had a mean age of 60 ± 9,2 years, and 76% were men. The presence of systemic arterial hypertension (SAH), lower values of Maximum Heart Rate (HR) (ß = 0,112; CI: 0,074, 0,149; p <0.001), high values of Systolic Arterial Pressure (SBP) (ß = - 0,083; CI 95%: -0,152, -0,014; p <0.020), and a greater number of risk factors (ß = - 1,580; CI 95%: -2,456-0,868; p <0.001), are considered predictors of functional limitation (<7 METs). Conclusion: The presence of SAH, a greater number of risk factors, as well as high maximum SBP levels and lower maximum HR values reached during the stress test, were shown to be prognostic factors of functional limitation in subjects revascularized for ACS

Objetivos: Relatar a experiência de treinamento da equipe de Enfermagem na utilização de Equipamento de Proteção Individual para prestar assistência a pacientes suspeitos ou diagnosticados com COVID-19 em uma unidade de internação hospitalar em cuidados paliativos oncológicos. Métodos: Trata-se de estudo descritivo do tipo relato de experiência acerca da assistência de Enfermagem à pacientes com COVID-19 em instituição de referência. Resultados: Uma educação continuada deve assegurar as orientações técnicas em bases emitidas por órgãos oficiais para o desenvolvimento da atividade de Enfermagem de forma ordenada de modo a solidificar a assistência de Enfermagem. A dinâmica de atuação do enfermeiro se modificou na pandemia. O aumento da necessidade de proteção pessoal, a necessidade de conscientização do uso de EPI e todo desgaste emocional reforçam o aumento da atuação de um treinamento intenso pautado em procedimentos técnicos. A dinâmica foi realizada em pequenos grupos durante o plantão, o que possibilitou, também, um canal de comunicação de falhas e de desabafos das angústias que são vivenciadas no dia a dia das atividades laborativas. Conclusões: Com recursos escassos do EPI, o gerenciamento dos riscos ocorre com o que há disponível. E para minimizar os riscos das equipes, a educação continuada se faz necessária para alinhar condutas, ouvir os profissionais, estudar as normas técnicas emitidas pelos órgãos oficiais e transmitir conhecimento técnico para as equipes que estão incansavelmente prestando assistência de Enfermagem aos pacientes em tratamento paliativo oncológico e com necessidade de internação.Palavras-chave: Pandemia; Educação Continuada; Cuidados Paliativos; Equipamento de Proteção Individual.

Published: August 2022

Technology is the most important component in the implementation of e-voting, although technology is not the only one that contributes to the successful implementation of e-voting. However, in several countries that have successfully implemented evoting such as India, Brazil, the Philippines and Estonia, technology plays an important role in the success of these countries in its implementation. Likewise in countries that are not successful, such as America, Brazil, the Netherlands, England and others, technology has contributed to the failure of the implementation. In this study, a mapping of the requirements and details of technology for the implementation of e-voting was made. As a result, the technology required for preparation / pre-registration, registration, voting and counting activities is divided into two models of e-voting implementation, namely kiosk (machines stored in the public room / polling station) and remote voting. These technologies must meet the aspects of security and public perception, which is: easy to use by voters and committees, as well as transparency. The contribution of this research is a map of the requirements for e-voting technology to increase the number of voters and positive perceptions / public trust in e-voting technology and the development of e-voting technology.

Authors: Riza Bob Subhan , S Sumijan Jufriadif Na’am,
Published: August 2022

Tuberculosis Extra Pulmonary (TBEP) is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis and can cause death. Patients suffering from this disease must be treated quickly without waiting for a long time. Biopsy is one of the techniques used to take the patient's lung fluid and given Ziehl Neelsen chemical dye and then observed using a microscope to determine this TBEP disease. In this research, the TBEP detection process was developed using a classification method, namely CNN with feature extraction and feature selection. The feature uses 5 features where these features are a combination of shape features and texture features with the highest information gain value. From the results of research conducted through the training and testing stages of the classification method using feature selection, the accuracy rate is higher than not using feature selection with a comparison of the feature selection stage increasing 0.6536% for the training process, and 0.8942% for the testing process.

Mondialisation et employabilité des femmes en Afrique subsaharienne
Authors: Ayenagbo Kossi
Published: August 2022

L'objectif de cet article est d'analyser les effets de la mondialisation sur l'emploi des femmes en Afrique subsaharienne. L'estimateur de la méthode des moments généralisés (GMM) a été utilisé dans l'approche économétrique basée sur les données de panel de 39 pays d'Afrique subsaharienne couvrant la période de 1995-2018. Pour une analyse plus approfondie, l'échantillon a été divisé en quatre sous-groupes de régions notamment les régions du Centre, de l'Est, de l'Ouest et du Sud d'Afrique subsaharienne. Les résultats des estimations révèlent que la mondialisation mesurée par le taux d'ouverture et le flux des investissements directs étrangers affecte significativement l'emploi des femmes. Cet effet est positif pour le taux d'ouverture et négatif pour les investissements directs étrangers. Ceci peut s'expliquer par la forte représentation des femmes dans le secteur informel dont la principale activité est le commerce. Les résultats montrent également un effet significatif des variables socio-économiques notamment le produit intérieur brut. Les décideurs politiques dans leurs efforts de stimulation de la croissance économique, doivent mettre en place des politiques et programmes en faveur de la libéralisation commerciale et de l'autonomisation des femmes.

Published: August 2022

L'objectif de cet article est d'étudier les effets des politiques de régulation du marché du travail dans l'allocation du travail. De manière spécifique, il s'agit de mettre en exergue les effets des politiques de régulation sur le choix du type d'emploi en tenant compte de la segmentation du marché et des barrières à l'entrée dans le secteur formel. Pour ce faire, nous avons utilisé la quatrième Enquête Camerounaise Auprès des Ménages (ECAM 4) et un modèle d'auto-sélection. Les résultats montrent que les facteurs individuels et institutionnels sont responsables de la mauvaise répartition du travail entre le secteur formel et informel. Ainsi, on constate que la préférence des femmes et des jeunes pour les emplois informels est involontaire car contrainte par l'existence de barrières à l'entrée sur le marché du travail. Ces résultats suggèrent une certaine flexibilité ou souplesse au niveau de la réglementation en vue de l'augmentation du niveau d'emplois formels même pour transformer les emplois informels en emplois formels.

En este artículo, se presentan algunos acercamientos a las dimensiones culturales del narcotráfico en el panorama de las ciencias sociales y las humanidades en América Latina, con énfasis en el contexto colombiano. El objetivo es constatar cómo aparecen diferentes modos de abordar la relación narcotráfico-cultura a través de nociones utilizadas como herramientas conceptuales que enfatizan características específicas de esta relación. Entre ellas se destacan la noción de narcocultura que, por una parte, se refiere al conjunto de prácticas que componen un cierto modo de vida y, por otra, en el sentido de los registros estéticos que se producen a partir del contexto del narcotráfico. Sobresale la noción de narcoestética como derivación categorial específica asociada a representaciones y formas culturales como narcoliteratura, narcoarquitectura, narcoseries, entre otras. A través de esta revisión de las diferentes caracterizaciones que se han elaborado acerca de la relación narcotráfico-cultura, podremos sopesar los alcances y desafíos de estudiar algunas de las dimensiones culturales del narcotráfico. Este artículo fue elaborado como parte del ejercicio de documentación para la tesis doctoral Narcotráfico y cultura: Habitus y vida cotidiana en la Medellín contemporánea en la Universidad Nacional de Colombia, donde se revisaron principalmente artículos de revistas académicas, libros, capítulos de libro y tesis de posgrado. A partir de esta revisión, se llega a la conclusión de que la narcocultura como objeto de estudio en el contexto latinoamericano se comprende como un modo vida y como una concepción estética que no es atribuible exclusivamente a los narcotraficantes, sino que se inserta en la construcción de unas narrativas y representaciones que en parte se alimentan de medios de comunicación y de formas artísticas.
Orlando: la estética andrógina de Virginia Woolf
Authors: Catullo MacIntyre Luca Tommaso
Published: August 2022

Los géneros literarios que los críticos han utilizado para calificar la obra de Virginia Woolf, Orlando, publicada en 1928, incluyen: la alegoría religiosa, la fábula, la novela policíaca, literatura de doppelgänger, cuentos diabólicos escoceses o la novela gótica. Todavía se discute si es un relato de ciencia ficción. Sin embargo, el tema principal es la identidad sexual del protagonista, quien cruza un “tiempo sin tiempo” y transforma su sexo y sexualidad a lo largo del recorrido de su alma. Este, es un claro rechace a la estructura de las novelas victorianas, en las cuales dominan los personajes masculinos y escasean los femeninos. Orlando nace hombre para luego, con el pasar de los siglos – desde 1600, últimos años de la reina Isabel I, hasta el siglo XX, en el contexto político real de Inglaterra, el de las sufragistas, cuando se da su transformación en mujer y sobre todo en escritora. Pese a lo apenas mencionado, esta novela no es sexista. Unos de sus fines principales es exponer las necesidades de una dama de la época isabelina, los tropiezos masculinos y femeninos de la sociedad victoriana y los obstáculos inherentes a las obsesiones del yo, en que el lenguaje es determinante para la marcación de épocas. Según Virginia, la diferencia sexual viene dada por la educación, pero no pretende fomentar la dualidad hombre-mujer, sino redefinir la feminidad y proclamar a la vez que una mente debe ser andrógina.
Propuesta de una Metodología de Desarrollo Proyectual en el Ámbito de la Responsabilidad Social para la Enseñanza en Arquitectura

En las facultades de Arquitectura, es frecuente encontrar que se desarrollen proyectos desvinculados de la comunidad, generando una desconexión entre esta y las prácticas educativas. En este artículo se propone una Metodología de Desarrollo Proyectual en el marco de la Responsabilidad Social Universitaria, orientada a ofrecer soluciones a las necesidades de la comunidad y generar un impacto positivo en ella. Utilizando un método descriptivo y transversal, se estudia la situación actual de las metodologías proyectuales y la responsabilidad social a través del análisis de antecedentes, teorías y enfoques de diversos autores. Adicionalmente, mediante un método mixto de encuestas y entrevistas, se evalúa el involucramiento de los actores del proceso educativo con la comunidad. Los hallazgos confirman el bajo grado de vinculación entre la población y las metodologías proyectuales, siendo que estas últimas cumplen su función pedagógica, pero sin producir aportes de valor social. Los resultados obtenidos fueron metodológicamente validados y considerados pertinentes para su aplicación en el ámbito de la investigación, responsabilidad social y desarrollo de proyectos.

 

At Architecture Schools, it is commonly observed that they develop projects which are rather unengaged with the community, thus generating disconnection between this and educational practices. In this article, a Project Development Methodology is proposed framed within University Social Responsibility, oriented to offering solutions to the needs of the community and thus generate a positive impact over it. Using descriptive and transversal methodology, the current situation of project methodologies and social responsibility are studied through the analysis of background information, theories, and approaches of a number of authors. Additionally, by means of a mixed method including surveys and interviews, engagement between relevant parties of the educational process and the community is assessed. The findings confirm there is a low level of engagement between the population and project methodologies, as these latter fulfill their pedagogical function, but producing no contribution of social value. The results obtained have been methodologically validated and considered relevant for their application in the field of research, social responsibility, and project development.
Contribution des Poissonneries à L’amélioration des Conditions de vies des Populations de la Ville de Bouaké

Bouaké, ville à population ichtyophage et deuxième pôle urbain après celui d’Abidjan, abrite des poissonneries qui mobilisent nombre de personnes. L’implantation de ces moyens de conservation, les activités qui en découlent ainsi que les acteurs qu’ils mobilisent suscitent un regard scientifique. Ainsi, cette réflexion vise à analyser la contribution des poissonneries à l’amélioration des conditions de vie des populations de la ville de Bouaké. L’étude a consisté à recueillir des données à partir de la recherche documentaire et de l’enquête de terrain circonscrite à l’observation, à l’entretien et à l’enquête par questionnaire. Il en ressort que les poissonneries sont inégalement réparties à l’échelle de la ville de Bouaké. Elles sont plus concentrées à Dougouba (17 poissonneries), Broukro (11 poissonneries), Zone industrielle 10 poissonneries et Air-France (09 poissonneries). Ce déséquilibre spatial est dû à une différentiation du point de vue socio-démographique et économique entre les quartiers de la ville. Par ailleurs, ces poissonneries sont approvisionnées en diverses espèces par la ville d’Abidjan et le circuit d’animation du commerce est composite. En outre, elles (les poissonneries) contribuent à l’amélioration des conditions de vie des populations de la ville de Bouaké à travers la création d’emplois et de revenus dont la plupart surclasse le SMIC ivoirien. Aussi, ces moyens de conservation contribuent à l’alimentation en permettant la satisfaction des besoins en protéines halieutiques de la population.

 

Bouaké, a city with a fish-eating population and the second largest urban center after Abidjan, is home to fishmongers' shops that mobilize a large number of people. The establishment of these means of conservation, the activities which emerge from them, as well as the actors they mobilize call for scientific scrutiny. This paper focuses on analyzing the contribution of fishmongers towards the improvement of the living conditions of the populations in the city of Bouaké. The result of the study shows that fishmongers are unevenly distributed throughout the city of Bouake. They are more concentrated in Dougouba (17 fishmongers), Broukro (11 fishmongers), Industrial Zone (10 fishmongers), and Aire-France (09 fishmongers). This spatial imbalance is due to a socio-demographic and economic differentiation between the city's districts. The city of Abidjan also supplied the fish shops with various species and the circuit of the trade is composite. They (the fish shops) further contribute to the improvement of the living conditions of the populations in the city of Bouake through the creation of jobs and incomes, most of which exceed the Ivorian minimum wage. The means of conservation contribute to food by offering fish to the population to satisfy its needs in animal resources.
Role of Beliefs in Predicting Smoking Behaviour: a Study of Comparative Optimism in Cameroonian Adolescents

The objective of this study was to examine the influence of comparative optimism on the intention to use tobacco among 244 Cameroonian adolescent students. The sample consisted of girls (n=110) and boys (n=134) aged between 14 and 25 in secondary school. Participants were selected using a purposive sampling technique. The study relied primarily on the theory of planned behaviour to highlight the mechanisms that link beliefs to behavioural intentions. Data were collected from a self-administered composite questionnaire consisting of the comparative optimism scale and the risk-taking scale measuring intention to use tobacco inspired by the theory of planned behaviour. The results obtained after correlation analysis and regression showed that the illusion of vulnerability elicits the intention to use tobacco through attitude (r= -.141, p<0.05), descriptive norms (r=.204, p<0.01), and injunctive norms (r=.132, p<0.05). In addition, the illusion of vulnerability also appears as a predictor of the intention to use tobacco. These results confirm the harmful nature of overly optimistic beliefs about protective behaviours. The implications of the optimism bias for perceived vulnerability are discussed in the light of reference theories and from previous work on the effect of optimistic beliefs on protective behaviour.

Pesticides are complex organic substances that are an important source of water pollution. Using pesticides is one of the important actions for harvest protection. This, however, does not negate the fact that its usage can result to negative consequences as well. The study of toxic action of lambda-cigalotrin (the piretroid of the insecticides which is included in icons, karate, commodore, samurai) on quantitative contents of fatty acids and structural lipids in muscle, gills, liver, and in the brain of fishes in river Alazani was carried out. Based on the actual material, one can conclude that intoxication of the fish tissues with lambda-cyhalotrin processes appear, which stimulates oxidation of free radicals of structural lipids. The peroxides of the initiators of free radicals are formed, which stimulate lipid per oxidation. Exposure to insecticides caused an induction of antioxidant enzyme activities indicating the activation of the insecticides detoxification pathways and the antioxidant defenses. The non-protein sulfhydryl groups increased to 1,75  0,109 compared to the control (1,04  0,123), while the total sulfhydryl groups statistically increased to 39,16  1,44 compared to the control (34,00  1,22 ).This indicates an increase in the concentration of protein and total sulfhydryl groups compared to controls. The study also identified that excess amounts of insecticides in the tissues disrupts the biochemical parameters. These changes may be potentially disruptive for the survivability of fish in natural resources. This fact should thus be taken into consideration when this insecticide is used for pest control in agriculture fields surrounding surface water and ground water resources.
