Published: February 2025

Consumers are more likely to have a positive perception of a company's brand value if it consistently provides high-quality goods or services. Consistent marketing and branding actions are also required to build and sustain brand equity. Favorable experiences increase equity and brand value. Consumers are more likely to choose a brand that they believe is reliable and respected. Competition also have an impact on a brand's equity because customers may have other options. Furthermore, changes in consumer tastes or trends have an impact on a brand's equity since customers may migrate to competing brands or products. This study aims to determine how to use brand equity to produce brand value. The Kalap Center now lacks a strong brand identity, which reduces its perceived brand value among customers. Furthermore, the lack of a firm foundation for promoting its products reduces customer awareness, limiting its ability to widen its reach and attract more clients. This situation has a negative impact on the Center's capacity to support the city's efforts to establish a dynamic Pasalubong Center. The data were acquired via convenience sampling from 88 customers who had made multiple purchases at the facility. The findings suggest that brand managers should encourage comprehensive and appealing brand communication in order to increase brand recognition and connections with brand value, while always aiming to optimize brand equity.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant health concern, particularly among patients with comorbid conditions such as hypertension and diabetes. This study aims to assess the prevalence of CKD, medication adherence, health behaviors, and patient knowledge in a population with these chronic conditions. By analyzing data from a hospital database, this research identifies key areas for intervention to improve patient outcomes and manage the progression of CKD.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Manhyia District Hospital among a conveniently sampled 200 patients living with diabetes, hypertension, and both conditions. A checklist was used to assess the number of cases, and semi-structured questionnaires were used to collect data on sociodemographics, knowledge level, and the risk factors of CKD. The data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 27.0 and Microsoft Excel 2013.

Results: The prevalence of CKD was highest among patients with both hypertension and diabetes (31.34%), compared to those with only diabetes (15.31%) or hypertension (11.91%). The study showed that 60% were living with low-risk factors of CKD, 30% were living with mild risk factors, and 10% were living with high-risk factors of CKD. The two main risk factors were obesity and non-compliance with medications. The knowledge level about CKD was generally poor, with about 11% who had not even heard about CKD and as high as 50% having poor knowledge about the functions of the kidneys.

Conclusions: The prevalence of CKD among patients living with hypertension and diabetes mellitus comorbid was high due to non-adherence to hypertensive and diabetic medications, knowledge regarding CKD was poor, and there were low-risk factors contributing to CKD.

The aim of the research is to examine the housing-garden arrangements that have existed from the past to the present and the relationships between these arrangements and to provide data for new housing-garden designs to be made today. This study is important in terms of considering and evaluating the house and garden together in the life order of the society and creating a harmonious whole with its environment. Therefore, how should the house-garden relationship be strengthened for a balanced life? Can criteria be set? What makes these spaces pleasant and beautiful and how should they be organized? The aim of this study is to seek answers to these questions in the housing-garden relationship. While conducting a research in line with this purpose, the study includes a typological analysis that can be used in the data collection phase, which is the first and most important step in order to reach healthy syntheses. In the analysis, the housing-garden types were grouped and schematized according to the location of the dwelling on the land, and as a result of the evaluation of the data, 5 preferred housing-garden schemes related to housing-garden typology were developed. In addition, depending on the housing-garden types developed, 4 types of housing-garden entrance schemes were proposed. The most preferred housegarden types were found to be type 3B (houses with front and side gardens adjacent to the street wall) and type 4 (houses with front and side gardens adjacent to the back two walls), and the most preferred house-garden entrance types were found to be type 1 (the location of the entrances opening directly from the street to the garden relative to the entrance of the house). As a result, the utilization of these typological features in today's architecture and landscape architecture has been opened to interpretation.
How Culture Affects Design: Eastern and Western
Authors: Çetin Cansın İlayda
Published: February 2025

Research on cultural differences from various perspectives, including linguistics, cultural patterns, models of cultures, and cognitive style, has contributed to cross-cultural design. Culture is a way of life, whereas design implies planning to develop products for ease of living. Culture and design can’t be separated and are moving collectively from ancient human civilizations to the current world. Over the past several decades, there has been a growing interest in how culture is shaping the design research and the making of things. Culture includes a shared set of values, which comprises human behavior, material culture and social conditions which encourages the designers to build products with sensitivity to people’s lived experience. It is a known fact that, culture completely changes the way our brains process information. Hence, various cultures design things very differently. In this article, it is discussed how the culture influences the design of both in the prospect of Eastern and Western culture. Also, the purpose of this paper is to gain some insights from a leading scholar of the cross-cultural cognitive social psychology field on how cultural differences are viewed, understood, and dealt with, and thus to contribute to enrich the way cultural differences are framed in cross-cultural management research.

Published: February 2025

After the child's own body and home, the child's spatial imagination is established and deepened through books. In this context, children's literature becomes an important data source for spatial research/discussions. With literary texts, space is reconstructed between the reader and the narrator. The narrator's space can sometimes express a non-existent or non-existent period or moment with reference to his/her own living spaces and memories, and allows the reader to reconstruct a space that he/she may not have witnessed with his/her mental accumulation. In this context, Nazlı Eray, who also produces works in children's literature, reconstructs the places of childhood, where she states that she gained important experiences in her own life, in the minds of children with her surrealistic narration. While the real places and social life of 1960s Istanbul are reconstructed in the minds of the readers, historical personalities and fictional characters are presented together with the heroes of the novel. The Istanbul of this period, especially in works such as ‘The Mystery of Frej Apartment’, ‘Enchanted Beyoğlu’, ‘Mırmır Osman’, ‘Night Blossom Istanbul’ and ‘Billur Octopus and Purple Pearl’, is handled with detailed descriptions and the atmosphere of the city is enriched in a literary context. For this reason, these books of the author constitute the universe of the study. Beyoğlu, where the author spent his childhood, and the apartments are the common places of the works. With the content analysis method, the forms, meanings and architectural features (mass tectonics, façade characters, interior features) of apartment buildings, which are examples of civil architecture, are analysed.

Published: February 2025

Posters are one of the most important communication tools developed in the twentieth century. Over time, various styles, techniques, and technologies have been incorporated in the preparation and presentation processes of posters, where the search for innovation for impressive designs is continuous. Imaginative illustrations appear as the first evidence of the existence of art and even of life in history. Today, images on posters are used quite widely. In this study, the use and effect of images designed as ambigrams in poster designs were examined. Imaginary ambigrams emerge when images gain new meanings when viewed from different angles or as a result of various rotations or reflections. Although the first examples of ambigrams date back centuries, the use of imaginary ambigrams on posters will provide an innovative image and a different perspective in poster designs.

The research examines the spatial and atmospheric dimensions of the crisis within architectural practice and rethinks the effects of the accident narrative on space through representation. The research examines the concept of space, which is shaped by the multidimensional structure, contradictory relations and political language of architecture. In this context, it aims to explore how the physical and atmospheric situations created by accidents present the relationships in the invisible dimensions of space. This article is based on a doctoral thesis, which is a research process that examines the effects of chaotic structures that emerge during moments of crisis on spatial experience. The research suggests that crisis situations offer a new conceptual field by establishing a relationship with the unknown and unrepresentable. Questioning the effects of the accident on the representation of architecture and spatial practices, the study deciphers the dynamic and coincidental relationships that the structure gains during moments of collision by referring to the concepts of “uncanny space” and “spatial uncertainty”. Revealing the role of the accident in spatial practices from a new perspective, the research opens up new discussions between architecture and the representation of the unseen. As a result, the study discusses how representational processes can be reinterpreted on the images produced by modern architecture and how they can transform the relations between architecture and crisis. As a result, the research offers a new perspective on the representation of architecture and discussions on space through the transformation of structure into time through spatial oppositions and coincidental relations, and physical and atmospheric dialogues established with the invisible dimensions of space.

This study aims to address the issues in the process of admission to the architectural profession and its practice in Turkey, and to develop a model proposal for the improvement of these processes. Deficiencies have been identified in architectural education and professional admission processes in Turkey To contribute to the resolution of these deficiencies, the proposed Motivation Source Model envisions the creation of a digital platform where the professional development of architects can be transparently tracked. This model will enable those seeking architectural services to find the architect who best meets their criteria, allow architects to monitor their own development, enable the Chamber of Architects to track its architect members, and allow architects to showcase their experience on a reliable and verifiable platform. The theoretical framework of the research is based on the view that the architectural profession should meet international standards and that the current processes do not meet these standards. Findings obtained through literature review and surveys demonstrate the importance of professional competence and experience in the selection of architects. The data analyzed with the SPSS program reveal the necessity and contributions of the proposed model. In conclusion, it is anticipated that the implementation of the Motivation Source Model will bring the architectural profession to a transparent and reliable structure that aligns with international standards, allowing those seeking architectural services to make more informed decisions.

Traditional prison structures are generally security- and cost-oriented, often overlooking the human needs and psychological well-being of prisoners. This study approaches prison design not only as a security issue but also as a human rights and social policy concern. In particular, innovative prison architecture and flexible spatial planning in Europe aim to improve the quality of life for inmates. In this context, prison design factors are identified and their positive impacts on rehabilitation are examined. Innovative designs implemented in countries such as Norway, Denmark, and Iceland adopt a humane approach, in addition to fulfilling security and management functions. The aim of this study is to emphasize that prison design contributes not only to the physical structure but also to the psychological and social rehabilitation of prisoners.

Authors: Khumalo Mandla
Published: February 2025

The aim of this paper is to explore the concept of God’s divine calling and His provision for Ministers within the Christian faith using heuristic inquiry framework. It argues that God calls Ministers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to service and provides accordingly for the sustenance of that call. Firstly He calls them into knowing and obeying Him. That ultimately, leads to service. What does spiritual calling entails? What are the perceptions of God’s call to his disciples? How does God call disciples into Ministry? These are the three questions the study attempted to contribute answers to. Data was collected from seven co-researchers who were between 29 and 54 years of age. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect the data. The data was analyzed and synthesized using Moustakas (1990) approach and four themes emerged. The results revealed that there are different approaches used by God to call His people into Ministry. The age and gender are not the major variables considered in the calling. The study concluded that a relationship with God is an important factor in the call of the Lord.

Published: February 2025

Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis manajemen pendistribusian Zakat, Infak, dan Sedekah (ZIS) oleh LAZ Risalah Charity terhadap kesejahteraan mustahik di Koto Tangah dengan pendekatan metode CIBEST (Center for Islamic Business and Economic Studies). Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kuantitatif, dengan survei yang mengumpulkan data dari mustahik penerima bantuan ZIS. Sampel penelitian diambil dari penerima manfaat bantuan ZIS LAZ Risalah Charity. Data yang terkumpul dianalisis secara deskriptif dan inferensial. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pendistribusian ZIS oleh LAZ Risalah Charity memberikan dampak positif dalam meningkatkan kesejahteraan mustahik, terutama dalam pemenuhan kebutuhan dasar seperti pangan, sandang, dan papan. Selain itu, program pemberdayaan ekonomi yang diimplementasikan turut berkontribusi pada peningkatan kualitas hidup mustahik. Namun, penelitian ini juga menemukan bahwa 90% keluarga mustahik masih berada dalam kategori indeks kemiskinan materiil. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa pendistribusian ZIS saja belum cukup untuk mengentaskan kemiskinan secara menyeluruh. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan sinergi antara pemerintah, lembaga swadaya masyarakat, dan masyarakat untuk merancang program-program yang lebih komprehensif dan berkelanjutan.
This study aims to analyze the management of the distribution of Zakat, Infak, and Sedekah (ZIS) by LAZ Risalah Charity on the welfare of *mustahik* in Koto Tangah using the CIBEST (Center for Islamic Business and Economic Studies) method. The research employs a quantitative method by conducting surveys to collect data from *mustahik* who receive ZIS assistance. The sample is drawn from recipients of ZIS aid provided by LAZ Risalah Charity. The collected data is analyzed descriptively and inferentially. The results indicate that the distribution of ZIS by LAZ Risalah Charity has a positive impact on improving the welfare of *mustahik*, particularly in meeting basic needs such as food, clothing, and shelter. Additionally, economic empowerment programs contribute to enhancing the quality of life of the *mustahik*. However, the study also finds that 90% of *mustahik* families remain in the material poverty index category. This indicates that ZIS distribution alone is insufficient to fully address poverty issues. Therefore, synergy between the government, non-governmental organizations, and the community is needed to design more comprehensive and sustainable programs.

Abstrak
Penenlitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perilaku stealth trading pada perusahaan konstruksi dan pembangunan BUMN di Indeks LQ-45. Penelitian ini menggunakan data sekunder Intraday dari transaksi perdagangan saham perusahaan konstruksi dan pembangunan di Indeks LQ-45 periode Maret, April, dan Mei 2017. Metode analisis data yang digunakan adalah metode deskrptif kuantitatif dengan jumlah 4 perusahaan. Hasil penelitian ini menemukan bahwa terdapatnya perilaku stealth trading pada investor Domestik dan investor asing. Prilaku stealth trading berdasarkan analisis manajemen syariah merupakan bagian yang tidak boleh diterapkan oleh seorang investor dikarenakan prilakau stealth trading tersebut bertentangan dengan prinsip manajemen syariah yang menjunjung tinggi keadilan, transparansi dan kemaslahatan.  Hal tersebut ditunjukkan dari tingginya persentase perubahan harga, yang diikuti dengan persentase transaksi serta persentase volume yang tinggi yang terjadi di ukuran menegah. Di samping itu penelitian ini menemukan stealth trading yang diikuti dengan perubahan harga yang lebih tinggi, tetapi jumlah volume dan transaksi tidak begitu besar karena di Indonesia investor melakukan transaksi kebanyakan masuk kelompok institusional sehingga nilai transaksi dan volume perdagangan lebih banyak pada ukuran besar yang menyebabkan perilaku stealth trading yang terjadi pada ukuran menengah tidak begitu bagus.
 
Abstract
This study examined the stealth trading behavior of construction and state-owned enterprises in the LQ-45 Index. This study used Intraday secondary data from stock trading transactions of construction and development companies on the LQ- 45 Index during March, April, and May 2017. The data analysis method used was a quantitative descriptive method with a total of 4 companies. The results showed that there was stealth trading behavior among domestic investors and foreign investors. This is indicated by the high percentage of price changes, which is followed by the percentage of transactions and the high percentage of volume that occurs in the medium size. Besides, stealth trading was followed by higher price changes, but the volume and transaction amount were not so large because, in Indonesia, investors mostly entered into institutional groups so that the transaction value and trading volume larger, and caused stealth trading behavior in the middle sizes not so good.
Pemikiran Filsafat Pendidikan Rekonstruksionisme: Implikasi terhadap Pendidikan Karakter dan Pendidikan Moral
Authors: Gema Adhari  , Siti Nurhidayatul Marati  , Herlini Puspika Sari
Published: February 2025

Reconstructionism is a school of educational philosophy that aims to reshape society through radical educational reform. Rooted in a critique of progressivism, it emerged as a response to social and economic stagnation and the desire to make education an agent of social change. Its leading figures, such as George Counts and Harold Rugg, inspired by the thought of John Dewey and Theodore Brameld, advocate for an education that is able to deal with global challenges, including moral, social and environmental issues. Reconstructionism argues that education is not only responsible for shaping individuals, but also plays a role in building a just and equal society. The principles of this school emphasize the important role of education in dealing with the global crisis, as well as the need for a relevant curriculum to foster students' character and morals. This school places teachers as agents of change who play an important role in guiding students to face the challenges of the times, as well as designing a curriculum that prioritizes social interests. Thus, reconstructionism emphasizes the importance of education in saving civilization through the formation of character, morality, and a new, more humanist culture.

The phenomenon of singlehood or remaining unmarried often sparks debates within society, addressing aspects of religion, psychology, and health. The decision not to marry is often viewed as deviating from social norms and generates negative stigma, leading to various issues related to acceptance and its impact on individuals. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method to examine this phenomenon from multiple perspectives. Islamic law provides flexibility for individuals to remain unmarried, as long as the decision is based on the intention of piety and worship. Prominent scholars such as Imam Shafi'i and Imam Nawawi assert that living without a spouse is permissible, as long as it remains oriented towards spiritual goals. From a psychological standpoint, the choice to remain unmarried is influenced by factors such as family dynamics, views on independence, and life experiences. This decision may offer benefits, such as career development and personal freedom, but it can also present challenges in the form of social pressure and the risk of loneliness. From a health perspective, marital status is closely linked to both physical and mental well-being. Unmarried individuals tend to face a higher risk of mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety, yet they are also spared from marital conflicts that may negatively affect psychological well-being. This study concludes that the choice of singlehood can be understood from various viewpoints, while considering the individual’s circumstances, intentions, and needs. The contribution of this research is to provide a multidimensional insight into singlehood, which can serve as a reference for policymakers, health practitioners, and society in supporting individuals who choose this path wisely and with respect.

SIMULATION OF ELECTRIC POWER STORAGE SYSTEMS OPERATING IN THE CONDITIONS OF VOLTAGE REGULATION ON THE BUSES OF TRACTION SUBSTATIONS
Authors: NEZEVAK Vladislav
Published: February 2025

Sharply alternating traction load in traction power supply systems causes a wide range of voltage changes at the pantographs of electric stocks and the power consumption of traction substations. Various technologies are used to stabilize the voltage and limit overloads of power equipment at traction substations and linear devices of the contact network. These devices are regulated by changing their parameters, which leads to a change in the voltage level or equipment load. The main task of regulated devices in traction power supply systems is to maintain the voltage level on the buses of traction substations or linear devices. Solving the problems of stabilizing the voltage level in the contact network is carried out using simulation modeling, in which various device placement options and algorithms for regulating power and voltage are subject to consideration. The paper discusses the effectiveness of voltage regulation when comparing voltage regulation options at traction substations and switching stations using energy storage systems. Based on the schematic diagram of the inter-substation area, the developed simulation model and the voltage regulation algorithm, the results of estimating the voltage level on the switching station buses for the generated electrical load are obtained. During the simulation of energy processes in a traction power supply system containing an electric power storage device, the results are obtained for various operating modes, allowing to evaluate the effectiveness of voltage regulation on the buses of a switching station while stabilizing the voltage on the buses of adjacent traction substations.

Published: February 2025

The efficient management of reverse logistics is essential for organizations aiming to achieve sustainability goals and gain competitive advantage. This study addresses the complexities of reverse logistics, particularly within the electronics industry, by proposing a hybrid decision-making framework that integrates the analytic network process (ANP) and the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) within a rough uncertainty environment. Traditional supplier selection methods often overlook intricate interdependencies between criteria and struggle with uncertain information. The hybrid ANP-TOPSIS method combines the strengths of both approaches, offering a comprehensive evaluation of strategic alliance suppliers. Key criteria for supplier selection, including knowledge management, risk sharing, and quality, are identified and applied in a case study within the electronics industry. The results demonstrate the robustness and reliability of the proposed framework in ranking suppliers and provide valuable insights for enhancing reverse logistics operations. This research contributes to advancing multi-criteria decision-making methodologies and offers practical recommendations for companies facing similar logistical challenges, thereby bridging the gap between academic theory and real-world application in reverse logistics management.

The constant growth of cyber threats has made network intrusion detection systems (NIDS) more crucial. Targeting anomalous behavior in a network is challenging because of the large number of features that exist. Consequently, the accuracy is affected, and there will be a greater chance of less reliability in the network. This study overcomes the limitations of traditional NIDS by using multiple machine learning (ML) algorithms to enhance intrusion detection capabilities. The efficacy of many ML algorithms in the context of NIDS is examined by paying special attention to their ability to detect intrusion based on features. Similarly, experimental analysis is conducted using a publicly available large dataset containing 41 features, whereby six algorithms were compared: AdaBoost, Gaussian Naive Bayes, Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbors, and Multinomial Naive Bayes. Resultantly, SVM achieves the lowest accuracy at 53.15%. RF performs the best with a 99.78% accuracy rate. In addition, a comparative analysis is also performed, which is crucial for practitioners in the industry who want to implement effective NIDS.
