“OUT THERE, BEYOND…”: THE IMAGE OF THE FUTURE AND THE POETIC IDEAL IN THE WORKS OF S. A. YESENIN IN THE 1910S
Authors: Seregina Svetlana
Published: September 2024

The article is devoted to the analysis of the artistic content and the evolution of the poetic ideal in the works of S. A. Yesenin of the 1910s: the subject of the study is both the poet’s lyrical works and his narrative and philosophical prose (the article “Native Word”), as well as biblical poems. The peculiarity of the literary and philosophical toponym “Rus” in Yesenin’s works as an ethical ideal and a symbol of a special national historical path, which is part of “God’s Providence,” is revealed. The polemical unity of toponym “Rus” with the idyllic image of the indefinitely beautiful “there,” which Yesenin drew from the literature of romanticism, along with the mythologeme of the poet’s fateful path, is demonstrated. A conclusion is made about the influence of Symbolist aesthetics on Yesenin’s understanding of art as a visionary experience that allows him to comprehend supersensual reality. By means of comparative analysis of A. A. Blok’s articles “Gogol’s Child” and Yesenin’s “Native Word,” the hypothesis that N. V. Gogol’s image of Russia was perceived by Yesenin in symbolist transcription is substantiated. The poem “Inonia” is considered as a transformation of Russia’s poetic ideal in the context of Yesenin’s religious and philosophical aspirations.
THE FUTUROLOGY OF COSMISM IN THE LIGHT OF SCIENCE FICTION: THE EXPERIENCE OF V. MURAVYOV AND A. GORSKY
Authors: Gacheva Anastasia
Published: September 2024

The article is the first part of the study of the features of philosophical and artistic futurology in Russian cosmism of the 1920s — 1930s. The key principles of the approach to the topic of the future in the religious/philosophical and natural/scientific branches of Russian cosmism are revealed: a projective worldview, the unity of futurology and anthropology, the will to idealism, designing the future as a perfect world order, unity of purpose and means, the personal principle of the relationship betweennature and man, the idea of the need to improve the external world, and human nature. The article demonstrates how these principles manifest themselves in the artistic and philosophical experiments of A. K. Gorsky and V. N. Muravyov in the 1920s and 1930s. It investigates the role of the science fiction element in their texts, in which, on the one hand, an integral image of the future is presented as the basis of mankind’s collective activity, and on the other hand, it offers a critique of “fractional ideals” in history, and flawed versions of the future. It demonstrates how the introducti
Mitigating the impact of secondary traumatic stress and compassion fatigue among forensic interviewing professionals: utilization of the four quadrants of self-preservation to promote post-traumatic growth
Authors: Middleton Jennifer , Vides Beatriz
Published: September 2024

Forensic interviewing professionals, who regularly engage with children and youth reporting traumatic experiences, are particularly susceptible to secondary traumatic stress (STS) and compassion fatigue (CF). This conceptual article delves into the occupational hazards associated with forensic interviewing, emphasizing the inevitability of STS and CF due to frequent exposure to harrowing accounts of abuse. The article underscores the importance of recognizing these phenomena and differentiating them from burnout—a critical distinction that guides appropriate interventions. Utilizing the "Four Quadrants of Self-Preservation," a trauma- informed framework, the article offers practical strategies for forensic interviewers to mitigate the impacts of STS and CF. This approach promotes resilience through intentional self-care practices across four stages of secondary trauma exposure: before, during, immediately after, and ongoing post-exposure to traumatic material. The article advocates for organizational support in implementing these strategies, emphasizing the ethical imperative to safeguard the well-being of forensic interviewers. The findings suggest that addressing STS and CF not only enhances the personal resilience of professionals but also improves client outcomes, by reducing the likelihood of turnover and professional errors. This article contributes to the growing body of literature calling for trauma-informed practices in forensic settings, highlighting the need for continued research and organizational commitment to support these professionals.

Intussusception is an infantile abdominal emergency where one portion of the intestine is introduced into another, varying its incidence according to the region. This study will focus on characterizing and analyzing cases of intussusception in children treated at the Antiguo Hospital Civil of Guadalajara "Fray Antonio Alcalde" between 2019 and 2024. The aim is to quantify the cases, describe the symptoms, and identify seasonal patterns. Methods: A total of 82 children aged 0 to 2 years with a diagnosis of intussusception were included in the Antiguo Hospital Civil Hospital of Guadalajara "Fray Antonio Alcalde", from January 1, 2019 to May 31, 2024. Sex, age, symptoms, type of management implemented, type of research, recurrent intussusception, association between therapeutic management and recurrent intussusception were reviewed, seasonal pattern, mortality. Results: A total of 82 children aged 0 to 2 years, with a median age of 7 months, were included. 50% were boys and 50% girls. 65 presented vomiting, 62 abdominal pain and 75 bloody stools; 6 children showed a single symptom, 32 had two, and 44 exhibited the complete triad. Use of laparotomy in 48.8% of cases, hydroenema in 28%. Ileoechocolic intussusception was the most common (50%), followed by ileocolic (40%). A seasonal pattern was observed, with 49 cases in the first six months of the year, with February standing out with 10 cases. Fisher's exact test showed a moderate association between therapeutic management and recurrence of intussusception (p=0.018). There was a mortality rate of 24.39%.

Sildenafil-inducing allergic angina in elderly with intertwining sinus arrhythmia, wavy triple sign, wavy double sign (Yasser’s signs), and mild covid-infection; interpretation and management
Authors: Hassanain Elsayed Yasser Mohammed 
Published: September 2024

Rationale: Sildenafil is a phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor (PDE5-I) drug used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) and pulmonary arterial hypertension. Allergic angina and infarction are broad-spectrum mast cell activation disorders accompanied by acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and are known as Kounis-Zafras (KZ) syndrome. Sinus arrhythmia is a variation of normal sinus rhythm (NSR) that is associated with an irregular rate in which the change in the R-R interval is greater than 0.12 seconds. Wavy triple and Wavy double ECG signs (Yasser’s sign) are new specific diagnostic and therapeutic signs seen in the cases of hypocalcemia. Mild COVID-19 infection means you have symptoms like cough, sore throat, and fatigue, but no dyspnea. Patient concerns: An elderly married male farmer patient was admitted to the intensive care unit with angina, hypotension, generalized hives, Wavy triple, and Wavy double ECG signs after ingestion of sildenafil tablet with mild COVID-19 infection in a previous chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Diagnosis: Sildenafil-inducing Kounis syndrome in the elderly with intertwining sinus arrhythmia, Wavy triple sign, Wavy double sign (Yasser’s signs), and mild COVID-19 infection. Interventions: Electrocardiography, oxygenation, IV fluids, and echocardiography. Outcomes: A dramatic clinical and electrocardiographic improvement had happened. Lessons: Sildenafil-inducing Allergic angina and anaphylaxis may be innovative cardiovascular findings. Mild COVID-19 infection, sometimes, can be insignificant. An associated sinus arrhythmia may be a good cardiovascular sign. The dramatic improvement in both clinical and electrocardiographic ST-segment depressions and elevations supports the efficacy of both anti-ischemic and anti-allergic measures.

Published: September 2024

Background: Pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) is a common medical problem encountered in pregnancy and is a leading cause of perinatal and maternal morbidity and mortality in The Gambia. The study purpose was to determine the prevalence, and birth outcomes associated with Pregnancy Induced Hypertension (PIH) among women attending SOS Mother and Child Health Clinic in Bakoteh, The Gambia. Methods: Using a cross-sectional design, a total of 280 pregnant mothers participated in the study. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, bivariate, and multivariable logistic regression models were used. All analysis were performed using SPSS version 20. Results: About 19% (n = 53) of participants were diagnosed of PIH. Results of the multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the pregnant women who were 25 years and below had 37% (AOR = 0.037, CI = 0.002 – 0.771) lesser odds to be diagnosed of PIH compared to those who are 34 years old or above. Similarly, those who had their first pregnancy at 30 years and below were 23% (AOR = 0.023, CI = 0.001 – 0.410) lesser odds to have PIH compared to those who are above 30 years. The risk of having PIH was found to decrease by 21% (AOR = 0.021, CI = 0.003 – 0.150) among those who had no history of high BP. Regarding the delivery outcomes, the mothers without PIH had significantly lower risk of post-partum haemorrhage (AOR = 0.028), intrauterine growth restriction (AOR = 0.045), low birth weight (AOR = 0.087), and induction of labour (AOR = 0.003), compared to those with PIH. Conclusion: This study shows that PIH is one of the major health disorders affecting pregnant women and contributing to the poor delivery outcomes in the Gambia. Early identification of the risk factors would be useful for early diagnosis and appropriate clinical monitoring and timely management of maternal and perinatal complications.

Published: September 2024

Introduction: The most common sexually transmitted infection worldwide is the human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. It is believed that over 80% of sexually active women have contracted the virus at some point in their lives. About 11 million women in Saudi Arabia who are aged 15 to 44 years are at risk of having HPV-related cervical cancer. Aim: To assess the awareness and knowledge of undergraduate medical students (males and females) about the human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccination and to pinpoint the major factors influencing their attitudes towards it. Subjects and methods: A prospective, cross-sectional online survey included 411 undergraduate medical students (males and females) across different grades during three months, from January 1st to March 31st, 2024, at the Batterjee Medical College, Jeddah City, Saudi Arabia. We statistically analyzed the collected data using Microsoft Office®, Excel® 2016, and IBM's Statistical Package for Social Studies (SPSS®) version 26.0. IBM is located in Chicago, Illinois, USA. Results: The majority of participating students were of young age, 20–25 years old (233, 56.69%), female (393, 95.62%), and of Saudi nationality (260, 63.26%). The most common recruited students were from the preparatory year (124, 30.17%), while the fewest were from the M6 grade (6, 1.46%). We implemented "Kamel's scoring system for students' awareness", which yielded the following scores: not acceptable (124, 30.17%), fairly acceptable (101, 24.57%), moderately acceptable (95, 23.11%), acceptable (71, 17.27%), and highly acceptable (20, 4.87%). Next, we implemented "Kamel's scoring system for students' knowledge", which yielded the following scores: very low (130, 31.63%), low (110, 26.76%), moderate (90, 21.90%), high (50, 12.17%), and very high (31, 7.54%). We implemented "Kamel's scoring system for students' attitude" to assess the students' attitude towards HPV vaccine utilization. We interpreted the calculated scores as inadequate or poor (136, 33.09%), reasonable or fair (100, 24.33%), sufficient or good (80, 19.46%), remarkable or very good (70, 17.03%), and outstanding or excellent (25, 6.08%). results were of statistical significance (the P-value is <0.00001). Conclusion: The estimated degree of awareness and knowledge about the HPV vaccination among undergraduate medical students at the Batterjee Medical College (BMC) was poor. This results in low motivation and utilization of the available vaccine.

Published: September 2024

This study discusses Sara Mills' critical discourse analysis on stereotypes of the wife's role in the household in the religious speech given at a wedding event. The purpose of this religious speech is to provide understanding to married couples regarding their respective rights and responsibilities, as well as solve problems in the household, and also to prevent and reduce the number of divorce cases. There is a stereotype of women that is synonymous with femininity, namely in the form of the perception that women are attached, that women are gentle, beautiful, easily carried away by emotions, and full of affection. These perceptions of men and women provide cultural assumptions that give different and wider roles to men and make them obtain a relatively high social value status compared to women. In relation to marriage advice lectures, by looking at the stereotype phenomenon that occurs in women, the process and occurrence of marriage advice is one of the important processes and influences the development of these stereotypes. This study uses a qualitative method using the discourse analysis technique of Sara Mills. The primary data was obtained from a long process of repeatedly listening to the marriage advice video lectures to select scenes that display stereotypes towards women in the marriage advice video lectures. The purpose of this study is to find out and analyze critical discourse about the stereotyped role of the wife in marriage in marriage advice lectures.

TIPE HUMOR DALAM CERITA-CERITA PENDEK GUNAWAN TRI ATMODJO
Authors: Anwar Saeful , Aminullah Zakariya Pamuji
Published: September 2024

Gunawan Tri Atmodjo's short stories are considered by many readers present humour. Many impressions are written by readers on the humorous aspect, but there is still no study that describes the humour aspect in these stories. Therefore, this study examines the types of humour in Atmodjo's stories based on a number of humour theories in literary works as presented by Louis Hasley and Matthew Kotzen. From the results of the study, it was found that there are three types of humour in Atmodjo's short stories, namely play, the formation of new words and expressions, and irony in the story. In compiling the story Atmodjo often uses the principle of deviation in normal situations. This can be seen from how he punctuates the names of the characters and the title of the work, the formation of words and expressions, and the irony in the story. These three things are built in conditions that are far from normal, both in terms of ethics (names and titles are messy and irony in the stories) and grammatical (on how words and expressions are formed). In this way, Atmodjo managed to free his readers from the emotional aspect that had been limited by ethics and grammar. Atmodjo thus consciously carried out the selection process (choosing characters and titles to play on), arranging (forming new words and expressions and arranging ironic plots), and using style (in summarizing these three things) so that the humour can be experienced and enjoyed by the reader. without leaving a message to be conveyed. The three types of humour in Atmodjo's short stories are not separate, but they support each other to build humour in the minds of the readers.

From bioinformatics to anti-inflammation and immune regulation: ACT001 in lipopolysaccharide-induced lung injury
Authors: Fan Yan , Wang Yuanlin , Zhang Weiwei , Xie Keliang
Published: September 2024

Background: ACT001 is a potent anti-inflammatory small-molecule drug. However, the single cell and spatial molecular basis of pyroptosis and whether ACT001 exerts a therapeutic effect by preventing pyroptosis on acute lung injury (ALI) remains unclear.
Methods: The bioinformatics approach was employed to identify single cell and spatial landscape of nucleotide-binding domains and leucine-rich repeat protein 3 (NLRP3)-dependent pyroptosis in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and influenza virus-induced ALI. Molecular docking was performed to elucidate the relationship between ACT001 and NLRP3. LPS-induced ALI mice model was established. Histopathological analysis and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid collection were conducted to investigate the anti-inflammatory and protective effects. In vitro experiments were also performed on bone marrow–derived macrophages to explore the effect of ACT001 on the balance of mitochondrial fusion and fission protein.
Results: Single cell transcriptomic and spatial transcriptomic analysis predicted that NLRP3-dependent pyroptosis significantly correlated with the development of ALI both in single cell and spatial distribution. Molecular docking provided a stable and reliable docking between ACT001 and NLRP3. ACT001 improved the 7-day survival of mice by approximately 50% over the loading dose of LPS-induced ALI. ACT001 (5 uM) attenuated the disruption of mitochondrial integrity and reactive oxygen species. Further, ACT001 reduced the overexpression of the mitochondrial fission protein DRP1 without affecting fusion protein Mitofusin2 levels. Moreover, ACT001 exerted a similar protective effect of suppressing pyroptosis as the DRP1-inhibitor Mdivi-1.
Conclusions: Our study revealed that pyroptosis genes were highly expressed in single-cell and spatial mapping along the first week of ALI occurrence. ACT001 attenuates ALI by reducing the NLRP3-dependent pyroptosis and balancing mitochondrial fission and fusion.
Türkiye Ekonomisi İçin Doğal Faiz Oranının Tahmin Edilmesi: Para Politikası İçin Çıkarımlar
Authors: Tetik Metin
Published: September 2024

Doğal faiz oranı, para politikasının şekillendirilmesinde ve iktisadi kararların yönlendirilmesinde önemli rol oynamaktadır. Bu çalışma Türkiye için doğal faiz oranını yapısal VAR (SVAR), indirgenmiş form ve Hodrick-Prescott (HP) filtresi olmak üzere üç farklı ekonometrik yaklaşım kullanarak tahmin etmektedir. Çalışma, 2006-2023 yılları arasındaki verileri kullanarak, Türkiye'deki faiz oranı farkının dinamiklerinin kapsamlı bir analizini sunmaktadır. İndirgenmiş form yaklaşımı ve HP filtresi belirli dönemlerde önemli reel faiz oranı açığı varlığına işaret ederken, SVAR yaklaşımı tahmin sürecindeki döngüselliğe bağlı olarak nispeten daha küçük bir reel faiz oranı açığı ortaya koymaktadır. Ortalama olarak, her üç yöntemden elde edilen doğal faiz oranı tahminleri karşılaştırılabilir olmakla birlikte, SVAR ve HP yaklaşımları indirgenmiş form yaklaşımından daha yüksek tahminler vermektedir. Ayrıca, reel faiz oranı farkının oynaklığı SVAR yaklaşımında en düşük seviyededir. Bu sonuçlar, doğal faiz oranının oynaklığı göz önüne alındığında, fiyat istikrarını korumak için aktif bir para politikasının benimsenmesinin önemini ve alınan politika kararlarında DFO’nı dikkate alması gerektiğini vurgulamaktadır.

Authors: Akın Serkan , Güngör Tanç Şükran
Published: September 2024

As the world's resources diminish, ensuring a sustainable planet for future generations has become a crucial issue that demands attention from all stakeholders. Consequently, various domains of life encounter the concept of sustainability. In this study, we analyzed the sustainability standards published by the Accounting, Public Oversight, and Auditing Standards Authority (KGK), which is the regulatory and supervisory body. Our aim was to clarify the connection between investment decisions and sustainability reports on businesses. This study employed the document analysis to examine the sustainability reports of the top 30 companies listed on the Borsa Istanbul (BIST 30) for the year 2022, using the S1 and S2 standards issued by KGK, with a focus on four key criteria. We allocated one (1) point to the company if it complied with these four criteria when preparing its sustainability report; otherwise, we assigned zero (0) points. Subsequently, we conducted diverse financial analysis on the 2022 financial data of these organizations and employed the Spearman correlation test to investigate the association between the outcomes and sustainability reporting. A strong correlation was found between sustainability reporting and the leverage ratio, earnings per share, firm size, asset return, and P/E ratio. The study highlights the significance of offering comprehensive explanations in line with applicable requirements when drafting sustainability reports, while also considering the influence of investor decisions on firms.

Published: September 2024

The process of reproduction of fixed assets is of great significance to industrial enterprises. Currently, scientific literature contains various viewpoints on the definition of the categories of “fixed assets” and “reproduction”. Moreover, the peculiarities of the stages of reproduction cycle in the industrial sphere are not disclosed in proper detail. The purpose of the study is to analyze and systematize theoretical approaches to the content of the conceptual apparatus of the problem of reproduction of fixed assets with the consideration of the specificity of the stages of the process at the industrial enterprises. The object of the study is the process of reproduction of fixed assets of industrial enterprises. The research is based on the combination of general scientific and special methods which were applied to ensure the reliability and objectivity of the research results. During the research the authors used methods of comparative analysis, generalization, systematization, analysis and synthesis, and grouping. As the result of theoretical overview of the categories of “fixed assets”, “reproduction”, “reproduction of fixed assets” the authors suggest the definition of the “reproduction of fixed assets of industrial enterprises” concept which is connected with the basic peculiarities of the stages of the reproduction cycle and the ways of their implementation at the industrial enterprises. Comprehension of the basic characteristics of fixed assets and the mechanism of their reproduction are crucial for making managerial decisions which is especially important for planning production processes in the conditions of reindustrialization, import substitution and growing sanction pressure on the Russian economy. A perspective direction for further studies is development of detailed recommendations on realization of the stages of the reproduction cycle at the industrial enterprises under the current conditions.

The author uses the theory of strategy and methodology of strategizing by Professor V.L. Kvint to analyze the targeted programs of the Kuzbass agglomerations determining the prospects for their development. The peculiar features of economic development are determined by the basic economic indicators of the region such as the volume of investment, budget revenues, and the volume of gross regional product. The author supposes that the drawback of the formation of the agglomerations development programs is the lack of forecast that could reveal global, industry and regional trends directly connected with the prospects for agglomeration. The article contains the definition of the mission and vision essential for developing strategies of agglomerations in Kuzbass; a critical analysis of goal setting has been carried out. In the perspective of development of each goal of the strategy, it is necessary to provide for the measures aimed at supporting agglomerations taking into account their demographic situation and the peculiar features of the settlement system, the level and dynamics of development of municipal bodies and natural and climatic conditions. It is important to provide for financing the reconstruction of the previously lost competitive advantages and the development of technological trends. Intermunicipal coordination development councils of the agglomerations created are recommended to take into account the lack of clear definition of the qualitative characteristics of the tasks set. The implementation of the priority directions of the social and economic transformation of Kuzbass is likely to ensure the new quality of life of the region’s population.

Strategic provision of technological sovereignty and economic security for the long term are of the highest importance for any state. The availability of its own critically important technologies and high-tech production of products in priority economic areas increase the state’s resilience to external challenges and threats, as well as orient the economy towards the realization of national values and the interests of innovative development of emerging strategic opportunities. The formation of an industrial core as a vector for the implementation of a strategy to ensure technological sovereignty and economic security is a critically important strategic goal of Russia. At the national level, the need to strengthen and strategize the industrial core is confirmed, in which the industry should be based, not only ensuring stable dynamics of the national economy, but also stimulating its development focused on innovative priorities. However, the results of the strategic diagnosis indicate the existing imbalance in the sectoral structure of the national economy caused by premature processes of deindustrialization and primitivization of production capacities. The consequence of this is an increase in the negative impact of outdated technologies and organizational systems on the functioning and development of Russian industries. The study of the regulatory environment and methodological base of modern strategizing of priority industries in Russia conducted in this article indicates the presence of systemic errors in the preparation and implementation of strategic documents for long-term industrial development. In the article, the authors come to the conclusion about the imperfection and fragmentation of the applied methodology for the development and implementation of strategies for the development of industries, including errors of an essential, structural and methodological nature, or the lack of a methodology for strategizing in general. As a solution, the author proposes the use of industrial strategizing methodology, based on the theory of strategy and strategizing methodology of the Russian scientific school developed by the Center for Strategic Research at the Institute of Mathematical Research of Complex Systems and the Economic and Financial Strategy Department at Moscow School of Economics at Lomonosov Moscow State University, and has a number of advantages for the targeted development of industrial sectors and the formation of the industrial core of the national economy based on focusing on the search and implementation of strategic opportunities and the use of existing and newly created competitive advantages.
Между «глобальным Севером» и «глобальным Югом»: так какой же может быть субурбанизация на востоке России?
Authors: Григоричев Константин Вадимович
Published: September 2024

Статья посвящена анализу пригородного роста на востоке России на примере Иркутска и продолжает дискуссию о возможных вариантах российской субурбанизации. На основе анализа потоков миграции внутри пригородного района показывается, что в рамках не только одного региона, но и отдельных пригородных поселений сочетаются различные процессы, обусловливающие пригородный рост – центростремительная урбанизационная миграция, классическая субурбанизация, разрастание города (спрол), перестройка «дач» как развитие советской формы пригородного роста. Сочетание столь разных по социальному содержанию процессов формирует чрезвычайно эклектичный ландшафт пригорода, в котором тесно соседствуют достаточно далекие друг от друга формы социальной организации пригорода. Такая эклектика, свойственная переходным состояниям, для российского пригорода, похоже, становится ключевой характеристикой. Это позволяет предложить для ее определения модель Т. Тувикине «постсоветского» как детерриториализованного концепта. Последний предполагает непротиворечивое сочетание преемственности трендов развития, заданных социалистическим прошлым, и современных («капиталистических») новаций социопространственного развития города как базовой характеристики такого варианта развития города и его пригородов. Вместе с тем понимание сложившихся коннотаций «постсоветского» позволяет в более широкой перспективе определить вариант развития пригородов на востоке России как модель «глобального Востока» в прочтении М. Мюллера.

Giriş: Yürütücü işlevler, davranışların düzenlenmesi, organize edilmesi ve planlanması gibi bilişsel kontrol süreçlerini içermektedir.
Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı yürütücü işlevleri değerlendirmek için geliştirilen yürütücü işlevler ölçeğinin geçerlilik ve güvenirlik çalışmasını yapmaktır.
Yöntem: Araştırma verileri, Google Formlar aracılığı ile sosyal medya web siteleri (Facebook ve Instagram) ve WhatsApp üzerinden basit rastgele örnekleme yöntemi ile toplanmıştır. Çalışmanın örneklem grubunu, dahil edilme kriterlerini karşılayan 338 kişi oluşturmuştur. Pilot uygulama 50 kişilik bir örneklem grubu üzerinde uygulanmış ve bu veriler örneklem grubuna dahil edilmemiştir. Bu çalışmada madde havuzunun oluşturulması, içerik ve yüzey geçerliliği, psikometrik özelliklerin değerlendirilmesi olmak üzere üç aşama uygulanmıştır. Ölçek maddeleri, kapsamlı bir literatür taraması ve altı uzman tarafından yapılan kapsam geçerlilik değerlendirmesi temel alınarak geliştirilmiştir. Ölçeğin faktör yapısını incelemek için açımlayıcı faktör analizi (AFA) ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizleri (DFA) kullanılmıştır. Ölçek yarıya bölme güvenilirliği, bileşik güvenilirlik analizleri ve yakınsak geçerliliği açısından da değerlendirilmiştir.
Bulgular: Ölçeğin kapsam geçerliliği 0.93 'dür. Son hali 19 maddeden oluşan ölçekte 2 alt boyut belirlenmiştir. DFA analiz sonuçlarına göre model-veri uyumunun iyi düzeyde olduğu bulunmuştur (x2= 258.95, df=148, p=0.000, x2/df=1.74, RMSEA: 0.04, RMR: 0.03, SRMR: 0.03, CFI: 0.99, NNFI: 0.99, NFI: 0.98, GFI: 0.93, AGFI: 0.90, IFI: 0.99ve RFI: 0.97). Cronbach Alpha güvenirlik katsayıları “Faktör 1" için 0.90, "Faktör 2" için 0.84” ve ölçeğin tamamı için 0,93 olarak bulunmuştur. Alt ölçek madde puanları arasındaki korelasyon katsayıları, "Faktör 1" için 0.35 ile 0,80 arasında ve "Faktör 2" için 0.54 ile 0.66 arasında değişmektedir.
Sonuç: Yürütücü İşlevler Ölçeğinin yetişkinlerde yürütücü işlevleri değerlendirme sürecinde kullanılabilecek güvenirliliği ve geçerliliği olan bir ölçme aracı olduğu söylenebilir.

Published: September 2024

Geçmişten günümüze tarihi kayıt ve vesikalar, inanç temelli toplumlarda bireyin tutum ve davranışlarının şekillenmesinde ve toplumsal değerlerin sonraki nesle tevarüsünde dini anlayış, kültür ve geleneğin her zaman etkili olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu yolla esasında sadece bireylerin değil toplumların da ahlak ve karakter yapısı şekil almıştır. Bireyin hayata tutunup toplumda statü ve yer edinmesinde, meslek sahibi olması ve yaptığı işin, edindiği mesleğin gereğini değer yargılarıyla çelişmeden ifa etmesinin önemi büyüktür. Ahlaki değer ve yargıları oturmuş, hemen hemen her toplumda meslek ve vizyon sahibi bireyler toplumda hak ettikleri yeri her zaman muhafaza etmişlerdir. Bu çalışmada İslamiyet öncesi Türklerde ve sonraki tarihsel süreç içerisinde Selçuklu, Osmanlı ve Cumhuriyet dönemi iş ve meslek ahlakı anlayışı ele alınmıştır. Ayrıca bireyin eğitiminde ve toplumun şekillenmesinde önemli rol oynamış ahilik teşkilatı ve sonraki süreçte gedik ve lonca teşkilatlarının hafızasından yola çıkılarak günümüz örgün eğitim içerisinde yer alan ve Çıraklık Okulu olarak da adlandırılan Mesleki Eğitim Merkezleri konu edinilmiştir.

Bir edebiyat ürünü olarak çocuk dergileri, çocukların zihinsel, sosyal, duygusal, ahlaki ve dini gelişimlerine etki etmesi yönüyle önemli bir yere ve işleve sahiptir. Günümüz teknoloji dünyasında tablet ve telefonlarla adeta çepeçevre kuşatılmış bir ortamdan geleceğin yetişkinleri olan çocuklarımızı çekip alarak onlara evrensel ahlaki değerler aşılamak, millî ve manevi değerler kazandırarak topluma yararlı birer birey olarak yetişmelerini sağlamak hususunda içerik ve donanım bakımından onların dikkatlerini çekebilecek özellikte ve alanında uzman kişiler tarafından hazırlanmış kaliteli ve nitelikli edebi eserlere ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin en köklü kurumlarından biri olan Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı’nın bünyesinde hizmet veren Dini Yayınlar Genel Müdürlüğü’nün, çocuk ve gençleri kötü alışkanlık ve zararlı akımlardan korumak, bilgi ve ahlak eksenli, evrensel insanî/İslamî erdemleri önceleyen bir neslin gelişmesi gaye ve hedefleri doğrultusunda hazırladığı basılı, sesli ve görüntülü yayınlar nicelik ve nitelik itibariyle önemli bir yere sahiptir. Bu araştırma, D.İ.B yayınlarından biri olup 7-15 yaş arası çocuklara yönelik olarak yayımlanan “Dini Değerler” isimli kitap serisinin içerik ve donanım olarak, hitap ettiği 7-15 yaş arası çocukların ilgisini çekebilecek ve onların ahlaki gelişimlerine katkı sağlayabilecek yetkinlikte olup olmadığını ve çocukların ahlaki gelişim düzeylerini bir üst evreye yönlendirmede işlevselliğini incelemek amacıyla yapılan betimsel bir alan araştırmasıdır. Araştırmada, nitel araştırmada kullanılan “Doküman incelemesi”,“Betimsel analiz ve İçerik analizi” tekniklerinden yararlanılmıştır. Araştırma sonunda; kitapların içerik ve donanım olarak hedef kitlenin bilişsel, duyuşsal, sosyal, ahlaki gelişim düzeylerine uygun olup onların ilgisini çekebilecek ve ahlaki gelişimlerine olumlu katkılar sağlayabilecek yetkinliğe ve ahlak gelişim düzeylerini bir üst evreye yönlendirici içeriğe sahip olduğu, bu anlamda kitap serisinin çocuklara değer kazandırma ve ahlaki gelişim düzeylerini bir üst evreye yönlendirmede başvurulabilecek nitelikli kaynaklar arasında önerilebileceği, bununla birlikte kitap serisinin içeriğinin gözden geçirilip 7-12 yaş arası çocuklar için ayrı, 12-15 yaş arası çocuklar için ayrı bir içeriğin oluşturulmasının eğitsel açıdan daha isabetli olacağı değerlendirilmiştir.

Published: September 2024

This paper examines financial engineering's use of AI to anticipate market volatility. To determine their efficacy, machine learning and deep learning are compared to ARCH and GARCH models. The study reviews secondary data and empirical experiments to assess AI-based model performance, strengths, and weaknesses. AI approaches outperform conventional methods in complex and turbulent markets because of their improved forecasting accuracy, adaptability, and capacity to capture non-linear market dynamics. AI models' interpretability, processing costs, and dependence on massive datasets restrict their acceptance. Policy implications underline the need for transparent, accountable, and ethical AI regulation in financial markets. The research also shows hybrid models that mix conventional and AI methods may improve volatility predictions while resolving interpretability issues. Overall, AI in financial modeling improves knowledge of market volatility and management.
