Exploring Work-Related Psychosocial Risks among Private Security Employees: Implications for Safety Culture and Employee Well-being
Authors: BELENAY Ferman , ÖZBAKIR Okan
Published: December 2023

The need for security is an inevitable result of social life. This need has evolved and changed throughout history. In the modern era, private security forces play an important role in ensuring public safety alongside general law enforcement units. Private security employees face high psychosocial risks inherent to the nature of their work. Therefore, it is essential to educate and support individuals, especially against psychological risks. Given the demanding and stressful nature of private security work, it is imperative that appropriate measures be taken to protect their mental well-being. In this context, raising employees' awareness of psychosocial risks is important to mitigate potential problems. Helping private security personnel to access psychological support will help them stay healthy. For this purpose, a survey was conducted among security employees and the results were evaluated. The primary objective of the study is to identify work-related psychosocial risks among private security employees and evaluate the impact of these risks on their well-being. The results indicate that individuals with 3 years of experience have the highest job satisfaction (3.51), and job satisfaction is higher among singles (3.39) compared to married individuals (3.07). It is also found that higher education levels decrease motivation. The study investigates the relationship between the psychosocial risks employees are exposed to, their experience of job stress, job dissatisfaction, job satisfaction, and motivation levels. The perception of the required safety culture in the workplace has a significant impact on psychosocial risk factors, highlighting the need for adjustments to increase employee satisfaction.
DEVIATION IN NARRATIVE STRATEGIES IN KURT VONNEGUT’S SLAUGHTERHOUSE FIVE: A COGNITIVE POETIC ANALYSIS
Authors: TUNÇ Roger Alan , GÖRMEZ Aydın
Published: December 2023

The discipline of literary theory and criticism has undergone a paradigm shift in the way it has attempted to address the concerns linked to the nature of literature in tandem with cognitive revolution. Cognitive poetics, which has emerged as a result of this paradigm change in literary criticism, aims to comprehend the procedures involved in the production and reception of literary language by bringing insights from disciplines like psychology, linguistics, and stylistics. In this article Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse Five has been analysed with text world theory, figure-ground theory, and schemata theory which are three analysis methods in cognitive poetics. After the introduction, some information about the main tenets of cognitive poetics has been provided and the aforementioned three cognitive poetic methods have been briefly explained. In the analysis part, Slaughterhouse Five has been analyzed with these three methods. It has been observed that the novel shows significant variance in terms of world creation and layering from the classical novel. Along with this variation, it has been seen that the figures and grounds have been manipulated and literary schemata have been restructured in Slaughterhouse Five to present the bombardment of Dresden in a novel way.
Facciamo le ore piccole o andiamo a letto con le galline? Lo studio dell'antonimia fraseologica
Authors: Luketin Alfirević Antonia , Jukić Lucija
Published: December 2023

Uno dei principali meccanismi della mente umana è l’associazione di concetti contrari. Di conseguenza anche nel lessico di una lingua sono presenti lessemi di significato opposto, ovvero quelli fra cui si instaura la relazione di antonimia. Lo studio delle relazioni tra diverse unità lessicali, nelle quali rientra anche la relazione semantica di antonimia, è il compito della semantica lessicale. Il presente contributo si propone di analizzare l’antonimia fraseologica. Partendo dalle premesse teoriche sull’antonimia, in particolar modo quella che si riferisce alle relazioni di opposizione nella fraseologia, da diverse fonti lessicografiche sono stati estratti gli esempi delle coppie antonimiche dei fraseologismi. L’obiettivo era quello di analizzare le relazioni paradigmatiche di antonimia che si effettuano tramite il contrasto di significato di uno o più lessemi nelle unità fraseologiche, oppure attraverso l’opposizione dei significati interi delle espressioni. Sui criteri citati si basa anche la classificazione delle unità fraseologiche antonimiche che segue il modello proposto da Ljiljana Šarić (2007), che prevede tre categorie di fraseologismi di significato contrario. Il primo gruppo è costituito dalle espressioni che si distinguono in un lessema (nascere sotto una buona stella – nascere sotto una cattiva stella), nel secondo gruppo si trovano gli esempi che hanno due o più componenti lessicali diverse (valere un tesoro – non valere un corno), mentre rappresentano la terza categoria le unità fraseologiche che nella loro struttura non hanno componenti opposte, ma hanno significato contrario (fare le ore piccole – andare a letto con le galline). La raccolta dei fraseologismi e la suddivisione degli esempi in base ai criteri prestabiliti ha confermato una presenza notevole di antonimia fra diverse unità fraseologiche.

Bu çalışmada Türk dili ve edebiyatı öğretiminde öğrenci merkezli yöntem ve tekniklerin kullanımının öğretmen ve öğrenci görüşlerine göre değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden durum çalışması deseni kullanılmıştır. Araştırma verileri yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılarak toplanmış, elde edilen veriler içerik analiziyle çözümlenmiştir. BDNVAY programlarından MAXQDA 2022 programı kullanılarak verilerin kodlanması ve analizi yapılmıştır. Yapılan görüşmelerde öğretmen ve öğrencilerin verdiği bilgiler den hareketle Türk dili ve edebiyatı derslerinde en çok tercih edilen yöntemin anlatım yöntemi ve soru-cevap yöntemi olduğu; tartışma yöntemi, rol oynama yöntemi, işbirlikli öğrenme yöntemi ve problem çözme yönteminin kullanılan diğer yöntemler olduğu görülmektedir. Yapılan görüşmelerde sınıfların kalabalıklığı, üniversite yerleştirme sınavına yönelik kaygı hem öğretmenler hem de öğrenciler tarafından öğrenci merkezli yöntem ve tekniklerin kullanılmasına engel olarak belirtilmiştir. Yapılan araştırma sonucunda sınıfların kalabalık olması, maddi imkânsızlıklar ve bazı okul idarecilerinin geleneksel yöntem ve tekniklere önem vermesi gibi nedenlerin öğrenci merkezli yöntem ve tekniklerin kullanılmasını engellediği sonucuna varılmıştır. Öğretmenlerin öğretim yöntem ve tekniklerini üniversite eğitimleri sürecinde bilgi düzeyinde öğrendikleri, staj sürelerinin yetersiz olması nedeniyle uygulama imkânını ancak atandıktan sonra elde ettikleri görülmüştür. Bu durumun öğrenci merkezli eğitim sürecinin oluşturulması bakımından sorun oluşturduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Published: December 2023

Introduction: Our study aims to investigate the differences in pure tone audiometry and tympanograms in terms of gender, disease duration, and right-left ear in children with Type 1 diabetes mellitus (Type 1 DM).

Materials and methods: For our study, a total of 109 patients between the ages of 0-18 who were diagnosed with Type 1 DM between 2016-2017 were identified. Among these, 26 children, 52 ears, aged between 2-18, who applied to the Ear Nose Throat outpatient clinic for different reasons and had anamnesis and examination information, were included. Then, hearing thresholds and middle ear functions were evaluated by looking at pure-tone audiometers and tympanograms. Whether the patients met the study criteria was retrospectively determined by using the patient registration forms filled out by the pediatric endocrinology.

Results: In the measurements made for the right and left ears, the conduction threshold values at a frequency of 4000 and 8000 Hz were found to be statistically significantly higher values in the Type 1 DM patient group for 5 years and longer than the control group with Type 1 DM for less than 5 years (p

Published: December 2023

Photovoltaic (PV) power generation is pivotal to the energy strategies of various nations, yet it is plagued by significant security challenges. This paper proposes a large-scale neural network model that integrates time-domain and frequency-domain techniques for the detection of arc faults in PV systems. The algorithm leverages sequence decomposition to extract trend information from current signals, and then applies the Fourier transform to convert various encoded data into the frequency domain. Due to the sparsity of frequency-domain information, the computational cost of extracting and processing information in the frequency domain is minimal, resulting in high efficiency. The selectively extracted information is then input into a separate lightweight classifier for classification and recognition. The proposed intelligent framework not only effectively filters out high-frequency noise signals, but also demonstrates strong robustness against various disturbances, yielding exceptional recognition performance with an accuracy rate consistently surpassing 97$ \% $.

Published: December 2023

Gender-based violence (GBV) is a global issue deeply rooted that grows from gender inequality and represents one of the most severe human rights violations. GBV is violence directed against a person because of their gender. It may include both intimidation and manipulation in addition to sexual, physical, mental, and financial harm done in secret or in a public context. The consequences of GBV can be devastating, with life-long consequences for survivors, or even result in death. Although GBV affects both men and women, the burden belongs mainly to women and girls. According to the 2015 Italian National Institute of Statistics report, almost 1 out of 3 women in Italy have disclosed physical and/or sexual violence. Thirty-one percent of women aged 16-70 have experienced some form of violence (20% physical and 21% sexual violence). Up to December 3, 2023, 109 women had died in Italy, 90 of whom in domestic settings, and 58 had been killed by partners or former partners. Analysing the data from the first nine months of 2023 of calls to the national ‘Anti-violence and anti-stalking’ helpline (1522), approximately half of the victims (47.6%) were victims of physical violence. Psychological violence was the second most frequent reason for calling (36.9%). Most of them (79.4%) are victims of domestic violence. Only 15.8% reported the type of violence they suffered (1,311 victims), even if the Italian law ensures greater protection for victims and legal aid. [...]

Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND

Hajibandeh index (HI), derived from combined levels of C-reactive protein, lactate, neutrophils, lymphocytes and albumin, is a modern predictor of peritoneal contamination and mortality in patients with acute abdominal pathology.

AIM

To validate the performance of HI in predicting the presence and nature of peritoneal contamination in patients with acute abdominal pathology in a larger cohort study and to synthesis evidence in a systematic review and meta-analysis.

METHODS

The STROBE guidelines and the PRISMA statement standards were followed to conduct a cohort study (ChiCTR2200056183) and a meta-analysis (CRD42022306018), respectively. All adult patients undergoing emergency laparotomy for acute abdominal pathology were eligible. The accuracy of the HI was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis in the cohort study and using weighted summary area under the curve (AUC) under the fixed and random effects modelling in the meta-analysis. The Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies 2 criteria were used for methodological quality assessment of the included studies.

RESULTS

A total of 1437 patients were included (700 from the cohort study and 737 from the literature search). ROC curve analysis of the cohort study showed that the AUC of HI for presence of contamination, purulent contamination and feculent contamination were 0.79 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.76-0.82, P < 0.0001], 0.76 (95%CI: 0.72-0.80, P < 0.0001), and 0.83 (95%CI: 0.79-0.86, P < 0.0001), respectively. The meta-analysis showed that the pooled AUC of HI for presence of contamination, purulent contamination and feculent contamination were 0.79 (95%CI: 0.75-0.83), 0.78 (95%CI: 0.74-0.81), and 0.80 (95%CI: 0.77-0.83), respectively.

CONCLUSION

The HI is a strong and accurate predictor of intraperitoneal contamination. Although the available evidence is robust, it is limited to the studies conducted by our evidence synthesis group. We encourage other researchers to validate performance of HI in predicting the presence of intraperitoneal contamination and more importantly in predicting mortality following emergency laparotomy.
Novel invagination procedure for pancreaticojejunostomy using double purse string sutures: A technical note
Authors: Li Jun , Niu He-Yuan , Meng Xing-Kai
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND

Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is one of the most serious complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), and the choice of pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) is considered a key factor affecting the occurrence of POPF. Numerous anastomotic methods and their modifications have been proposed, and there is no method that can completely avoid the occurrence of POPF. Based on our team’s experience in pancreatic surgery and a review of relevant literature, we describe a novel invagination procedure for PJ using double purse string sutures, which has resulted in favourable outcomes.

AIM

To describe the precise procedural steps, technical details and clinical efficacy of the novel invagination procedure for PJ.

METHODS

This study adopted a single-arm retrospective cohort study methodology, involving a total of 65 consecutive patients who underwent PD with the novel invagination procedure for PJ, including the placement of a pancreatic stent, closure of the residual pancreatic end, and two layers of purse-string suturing. Baseline data included age, sex, body mass index (BMI), pancreatic texture, pancreatic duct diameter, operation time, and blood loss. Clinical outcomes included the operation time, blood loss, and incidence of POPF, postoperative haemorrhage, delayed gastric emptying, postoperative pulmonary infection, postoperative abdominal infection, and postoperative pulmonary infection.

RESULTS

The mean age of the patients was 59.12 (± 8.08) years. Forty males and 25 females were included, and the mean BMI was 21.61 kg/m2 (± 2.74). A total of 41.53% of patients had a pancreatic duct diameter of 3 mm or less. The mean operation time was 263.83 min (± 59.46), and the mean blood loss volume was 318.4 mL (± 163.50). Following the surgical intervention, only three patients showed grade B POPF (4.62%), while no patients showed grade C POPF. Five patients (5/65, 7.69%) were diagnosed with postoperative haemorrhage. Six patients (6/65, 9.23%) experienced delayed gastric emptying. Four patients (4/65, 6.15%) developed postoperative pulmonary infection, while an equivalent number (4/65, 6.15%) exhibited postoperative abdominal infection. Additionally, two patients (2/65, 3.08%) experienced postoperative pulmonary infection.

CONCLUSION

The novel invagination technique for PJ is straightforward, yields significant outcomes, and has proven to be safe and feasible for clinical application.

Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND

Surgical site infections (SSIs) increase mortality, hospital stays, additional medical treatment, and medical costs. Subcutaneous drains prevent SSIs in gynecological and breast surgeries; however, their clinical impact in abdominal surgery remains unclear.

AIM

To investigate whether subcutaneous drains were beneficial in abdominal surgery using a systematic review and meta-analysis.

METHODS

The database search used PubMed, MEDLINE, and the Cochrane Library. The following inclusion criteria were set for the systematic review: (1) Randomized controlled trial studies comparing SSIs after abdominal surgery with or without subcutaneous drains; and (2) Studies that described clinical outcomes, such as SSIs, seroma formation, the length of hospital stays, and mortality.

RESULTS

Eight studies were included in this meta-analysis. The rate of total SSIs was significantly lower in the drained group (54/771, 7.0%) than in the control group (89/759, 11.7%), particularly in gastrointestinal surgery. Furthermore, the rate of superficial SSIs was slightly lower in the drained group (31/517, 6.0%) than in the control group (49/521, 9.4%). No significant differences were observed in seroma formation between the groups. Hospital stays were shorter in the drained group than in the control group.

CONCLUSION

Subcutaneous drains after abdominal surgery prevented SSIs and reduced hospital stays but did not significantly affect seroma formation. The timing of drain removal needs to be reconsidered in future studies.

Much of our understanding of malaria transmission comes from mosquito feeding assays using Anopheles mosquitoes from colonies that are well adapted to membrane feeding. This raises the question whether results from colony mosquitoes lead to overestimates of outcomes in wild Anopheles mosquitoes. We successfully established an Anopheles colony using progeny of wild Anopheles gambiae s.s. mosquitoes (Busia mosquitoes) and directly compared their susceptibility to infection with Plasmodium falciparum with the widely used An. gambiae s.s. mosquitoes (Kisumu mosquitoes) using gametocyte-infected Ugandan donor blood. The proportion of infectious feeds did not differ between Busia (71.8%, 23/32) and Kisumu (68.8%, 22/32, P = 1.00) mosquitoes. When correcting for random effects of donor blood, we observed a 23% higher proportion of infected Busia mosquitoes than infected Kisumu mosquitoes (RR, 1.23; 95% CI, 1.10–1.38, P < 0.001). This study suggests that feeding assays with Kisumu mosquitoes do not overestimate outcomes in wild An. gambiae s.s. mosquitoes, the mosquito species most relevant to malaria transmission in Uganda.
All Colours Of Translation Matthew Reynolds (ed.), 2019. Prismatic Translation, Cambridge: Legenda

Published: December 2023

This article discusses the volume of essays Prismatic Translation, edited by Matthew Reynolds (Cambridge: Legenda, 2019) in light of the history of optical metaphors for translation and recent modernist studies. Tracing the conceptual genealogy of the term and the subtleties of its theoretical usage, the author argues that “prismatic translation” remains an impressive though still excessively ambiguous translation studies metaphor that has not yet solidified into a precise and operative theoretical tool. Notwithstanding these objections, Prismatic Translation can be considered an excellent reference volume for professionals and students engaged in literary and cultural translation studies, as well as comparative modernist studies.

Authors:   Korea Institute of Design Research Society, Cha Seung Hwa
Published: December 2023

This study aims to explore the direction of development of domestic theme parks by reflecting the trend of increasing utilization of storytelling-based brand experience strategies. To this end, the app of Everland, Korea's leading brand, was compared with the official app of Disneyland, a global brand. According to the results, Disneyland's app has built a brand experience through an immersive storytelling strategy that allows Disney contents to be experienced in a physical space. And Everland's app built a brand experience with a storytelling strategy that was later formed in the process of developing from a natural farm to a complex resort. Disneyland app's magical experience storytelling strategy focuses on smooth progress on special days, removing complaints that hinder immersion in the experience, and leaving memories. On the other hand, apart from providing storytelling content, Everland's app focuses on customized curation, economical, fast, and convenient services that reflect customers' preferences. In conclusion, the difference between the storytelling strategies of the two brand experiences is clear. Therefore, if Everland re-examines the difference, it will find another opportunity. And the results will also provide important implications for the domestic theme park industry.

Amongthe rising research interest in visual-olfactory correspondences, color and scent have repeatedly been shown to be closely correlated. Howeverprevious research efforts have largely concentrated in investigating the direct associations between color and scent, and neglected how such associations can provide consumers’ attitudinal advantages in design. An online survey was conducted to 330 participants to investigate the effect of color and scent motif congruence on product image and consumers’ cognitive, affective, and behavioral attitudes. Study results revealed that consumers evaluate products with congruent color and scent motifs as morefamiliarandemotional and products with incongruent color and scent motifs as more unfamiliar and rational. Also, color and motif congruence in packaging design led to higher cognitive, affective, and behavioral attitudes, where consumers with higher preference for color and scent showed higher attitudinal responses. This study contributes to the relevant research stream by empirically verifying the interactive influence of visual and olfactory images on product packaging design.

Authors:   Korea Institute of Design Research Society, Xu Chen , Koo Ja Joon
Published: December 2023

With the growing influence of Eastern culture, traditional patterns from the East are increasingly featured in international brands. South Korea and China, key Asian economies, are rich in traditional culture, and their chest and back patterns are quintessential Asian designs. Originating from the Ming Dynasty, these patterns, blending unique cultural elements, exemplify harmony and unity in artistic expression. Current research primarily focuses on their historical development and artistic forms, with less exploration of their stylistic rules and content. Consequently, this study aims to analyze and compare the stylistic features of Korean and Chinese official patterns, looking at theme selection, composition, characteristic elements, and cultural connotations. This study offers a comparative analysis, understanding the similarities and differences between the patterns and their origins. The findings not only fill gaps in existing research but also help international fashion brands understand and respect Eastern culture, providing a reference for selecting Asian patterns.

Authors:   Korea Institute of Design Research Society, Kim Younghye , Lee Jaehwan
Published: December 2023

Since the 2004 UN Global Compact, ESG management has become crucial, notably emphasized in the 2006 UN Principles for Responsible Investment. This study explores design's active role in ESG, focusing on the social aspect, especially employee welfare, through a comparative analysis of Patagonia, Logitech, and Apple. While environmental concerns dominate ESG, this research zeros in on the social sector. Patagonia integrates design into its corporate philosophy, positively impacting employee health. Logitech and Apple strategically use design in product development but have limitations in addressing internal employee needs. To enhance design's role in ESG, it's crucial to guide both product development and shape corporate culture positively. Acknowledging limitations due to limited corporate information, this paper aims for more in-depth research in the future.

Bilim ve teknolojideki gelişmelere paralel olarak yaşam koşullarının iyileşmesi, modern tıbbın ilerlemesi, etkin ve yaygın sağlık hizmetleri ile birlikte ortalama yaşam beklentisi yükselmekte ve nüfus giderek yaşlanmaktadır. Yaşlanan nüfus içerisinde kronik hastalıkların artması, fiziksel kısıtlılıkların yaşanması gibi nedenler bakıma muhtaç kişilerin sayısını arttırmaktadır. Nüfusun yaşlanmasına bağlı olarak toplumlarda bakım problemleri ortaya çıkmaktadır. Yaşlanan toplumlarda karşılaşılan en önemli problemlerden biri de bakım problemidir. Çalışmanın amacı, yaşlı bakımını üstlenmiş yaşlı yakınlarının, bakım sırasında karşılaştığı psikolojik, sosyal ve ekonomik zorlukları tespit etmek, bakım veren aile üyesinin bu zorluklara nasıl yaklaştığını anlamak ve bu zorlukların nedenlerini ortaya koymaktır. Çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemi uygulanmış ve daha önceden hazırlanan yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılarak bakıma muhtaç 10 yaşlı bireyin yakınları ile derinlemesine görüşmeler yapılmıştır. Çalışmada, içinde bulunduğumuz çağın özellikleri neticesinde küreselleşme, endüstrileşme, kırdan kente göç, değişen aile yapısı, kadının eğitim seviyesinin yükselmesi ve çalışma hayatında yer bulması gibi faktörler etrafında bakımın yaşlı yakınlarına yük olarak yansıdığı tespit edilmiştir. Bakım yükünü üstlenmiş yaşlı yakınlarının yaşı, cinsiyeti, bir hastalığının olup olmaması, yaşlıya olan yakınlığı, ekonomik destek ve sosyal destek alıp almadığı gibi faktörler karşılaşılan sorunlara nasıl yaklaşıldığını ortaya koymaktadır. Bu bağlamda çalışma bulgularına göre; yaşlı bakımını üstlenmiş, birtakım sağlık sorunları olan, ekonomik ve sosyal destek almayan kadınların daha çok sorun yaşadığı tespit edilmiştir. Bakım veren kadınlar tükenmişlik ve çaresizlik duyguları içinde olduklarını, kendisine ve ailesine yetemediklerini, eşleri ve çocukları ile sorun yaşadıklarını dile getirmişlerdir. Sonuç olarak bu sorunların ortadan kaldırılması için yaşlı bakımını üstlenen aile bireylerine psiko-sosyal destek sağlanması noktasında yerel ve ulusal düzenlemelere ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır.

Resumo: A avaliação da aprendizagem vem se configurando como um desafio paraprofessores, alunos e gestão, pois, assim como a educação, não se trata de uma açãoneutra, mas, ao contrário, está impregnada de sentidos, interesses e valores,consubstanciada em uma visão de ser humano, de mundo e de sociedade que afundamente. Nesse sentido, a avaliação da aprendizagem está localizada em um cenáriode múltiplas dimensões (política, pedagógica, social e econômica), havendo diferentesintencionalidades que podem afastá-la do objetivo de contribuir para a efetivaaprendizagem e a formação humana, tendo em vista a construção de uma sociedade justa,democrática e digna. Este artigo apresenta uma sistematização de concepções que podemcontribuir para a compreensão do processo de avaliação na educação superior como umdesafio, com a intenção de fortalecer a perspectiva emancipadora da educação e anecessidade da construção de projetos pedagógicos como instrumentos de resistência,bem como dos espaços coletivos de formação docente.

Published: December 2023

Apricot kernel shell is suitable filler for abrasive materials with its strong, hard structure and dense cellulose content. Therefore, within the scope of this study, polyester composite (PE-CAC) discs containing apricot kernel shell powder were prepared in order to prepare abrasive polyester composite discs. In order to prevent these discs from damaging the surface on which they are applied during use, different amounts of calcium carbonate were added into the structure. The chemical structure of the obtained composite discs was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Surface morphology and structure were confirmed by scanning electron microscopy technique. The distribution of additives within the composite structures was examined by EDX spectroscopy. The effect of heat generated during the etching process on the composite disc structure was investigated using thermal analysis techniques. The added composite structures were transformed into cylindrical discs with a diameter of 45 mm and a height of 30 mm and were used to remove paint on metallic surfaces. As the amount of apricot kernel shell powder in the composite structure increases, the abrasion efficiency increases. Additionally, as the PE/CaCO3 composite disc application time increased, a significant decrease in surface roughness was observed. Ideal surface roughness was achieved, especially after 10 seconds of application time. As a result, PE/CaCO3 composite discs with apricot kernel additives present an important alternative to existing methods, especially in the cleaning of dirt, rust and paint on metallic surfaces.

This study was conducted to analyze the determinants of the unemployment rate in Tanzania from 1992 to 2021. The unemployment rate was the dependent variable with other explanatory variables such as Gross Domestic Product, Inflation rate, wage rate, Education, and population growth. The study employed the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method to estimate the model after using the Augmented Dickey fuller test for unit root. The results show that GDP is statistically significant at a 5% percent level means that it is an important factor in the determining unemployment rate in Tanzania. Similarly, the inflation rate is positive and statistically significant at 5% percent, it is an important factor in the determining unemployment rate in Tanzania because an increase in the inflation rate increases the unemployment rate in Tanzania. Population growth and education are statistically significant at 5% percent meaning that are also an important factor in the determination of unemployment in Tanzania. Also, the coefficients of inflation and education were statistically significant meaning that an increase in education level and population growth leads to more unemployment rate in the country. This study suggests policymakers in the country to create more awareness of the impact of increasing population growth and education level to result in unemployment rates.
ПРАВЕДАН И НЕПРАВЕДАН РАТ: СЛУЧАЈ УКРАЈИНЕ

War as a social phenomenon has marked the history of mankind, therefore it is often rightly said that the history of civilization is actually the history of warfare. War and warfare changed its role, its goals and means, and it went from skill or even art as Sun Tzu wrote about it, then Machiavelli who promoted pragmatism as the main characteristic of what he would call the art of government and warfare, to Clausewitz's understanding which is particularly relevant today and which combines war with politics.Therefore, the reason for war is not found in resources, nor in the creation of a community, but either in the war itself or in the lack of political solutions. Although armed operations always come to the fore, because that is what marks it, war also has a whole series of other dimensions - legal, psychological, sociological, social, economic, cultural, and others. Therefore, it can be discussed from various angles, just as, on the other hand, various types of wars can be identified, and not only in a purely military sense. The war (special operation) in Ukraine causes different interpretations. For some it is a just and necessary intervention, for others it is an illegal and unjust armed attack by Russia on a sovereign state. This paper intends to review the different understandings of just and unjust war, and to apply it to the case of Ukraine. Key words: Just, unjust war, types of wars, Ukraine, Russia
