The role of Radio-Télévision Libre des Mille Collines in the Rwandan genocide : An analysis from the theoretical perspectives of intergroup threat and aggression
Authors: Messanga Gustave Adolphe , Tajeugueu Marios Yannick Duclair
Published: May 2023

This research focuses on the role of Radio-Télévision Libre des Mille Collines (RTLM) in the Rwandan genocide. It analyzes the radio broadcasts through the prism of theories of intergroup threat and aggression. In this perspective, this medium is conceived as a manipulative and propagandist agent which participated in the perpetration of mass killings constituting the Rwandan genocide, through the dissemination of the ideology of hatred before and during the genocide and the logistical assistance provided to those involved in the killings. Indeed, RTLM broadcasts were structured in such a way as to present the Hutu as victims (intergroup threat), with the aim of justifying the use of violent actions against Tutsi (intergroup aggression). The corpus to be analyzed consists of extracts from RTLM broadcasts selected from transcripts stored at the Montreal Institute of Genocide and Human Rights Studies (MIGS) and at the International Monitor Institute (IMI). These extracts were analyzed with the method of discourse analysis. They reveal that RTLM’s discourse was based on the victimization and glorification of Hutus, as well as the devaluation and demonization of Tutsis. Concretely, the radio broadcasts were structured in such a way as to incite Hutu (past and present victims of injustice) to exterminate Tutsi (the enemies, the "cockroaches" (inyenzi)) and to eradicate them from Rwandan society. They were built around two main themes, including the threat, which includes elements like propaganda and hatred, homogenization, categorization and victimization ; and aggressiveness which includes the revolutionary vision of Rwanda, the deshumanization of Tutsi, their designation as enemies, the search for a just and homogeneous society.

Authors: Ferikoğlu Abdullah
Published: May 2023

Quechua is a South American indigenous language, spoken by eight to twelve million people across six South American countries, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. The theory of multi-wave migrations of Asian tribes through the Bering Straight inside the Americas, invoked academic studies to search for probable linguistic and cultural kinship between the languages of native peoples of Americas and the languages of Asian nations, such as Turkish, Mongolian and Indoiranian language families. The motivation for the present study was to investigate Quechuan living word inventory from the viewpoint of searching any probable correlation with Turkish Language. With this aim, a field-compiled three-dialectal dictionary of Quechuan Language by Parker (1964) was focused. The dictionary has been published as a fieldwork report resume: English-Quechua Dictionary- Cuzco, Ayacucho and Cochabamba. Having found a significant number of Turkish-sounding words with similar meanings, the author concludes that the living vocabulary of these three dialects of the Quechua carries evidence indicating the presence of a correlation with the languages of Turks in Asia. The findings are tabulated under the headlines in English, Quechuan and Turkish. The study is hoped to invoke further and more detailed similar works.

Authors: Egbaria Hamza
Published: May 2023

The present study aimed at investigating the role of emotional intelligence on career decision making difficulties among Israeli Palestinian high school students. The Bar-On Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire was used to assess emotional intelligence and the Career Decision-Making Difficulties Questionnaire was used to assess and career decision making difficulties. 715 students took part in this study. Data was collected through a convenient sampling technique. Descriptive statistics, t-test, and Pearson correlation coefficient test were the methods used to analyze the data. The findings showed that female students are more emotionally intelligent than male students, whereas female students face more career decision making difficulties than male students. Furthermore, the findings showed that there is a significant negative correlation between emotional intelligence and career decision making difficulties among Palestinian high school students in Israel (r = -.101, p< .01). The significance of the current study is its contribution to examining the role of students’ emotional intelligence in predicting the students’ career decision making difficulties. The findings will help school counselors shape new strategies in career guidance and school counselling.

HUKUKU GÖRSELLEŞTİRMEK: HUKUK TASARIMI
Authors: GİTMEZ Emin
Published: May 2023

Hukuk tasarımı, hukuk uygulamalarının ve hukuki metinlerin görselleştirilerek hukukla etkileşime geçen herkes için onların ihtiyaçları doğrultusunda kolay anlaşılmasını sağlamaktır. Hukukun herkes tarafından anlaşılabilmesini sağlamak hukuk disiplininin meslek mensupları açısından seçkinci yapısına zarar vermez mi? Ya da hukuk metinlerinin herkes tarafından anlaşılması gerekli midir? Kuşkusuz bu konular hakkında farklı değerlendirmeler yapılabilir fakat bir gerçektir ki hukuk hizmetlerinin sunumunda hizmet kullanıcısı, sunulan bilgi yönüyle avukatlar ve diğer meslek mensuplarınca yeterince tatmin edilmemekte ve sonuç olarak memnuniyet düzeyi düşük kalmaktadır. Bununla birlikte, özellikle teknolojik devrimle hayatımıza giren yeni uygulamalar ve kavramların ortaya çıkardığı karmaşık sorunlar, artık tek bir disiplin tarafından çözülebilecek nitelikte değildir. Bu durumda, sorunu çözmek adına birden fazla disiplinin bir arada veya iç içe olduğu mekanizmalara ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Hukuk tasarımı bu yönüyle her olgu veya olayın özelinde farklılaşmakla birlikte hukukun yanında tasarım, psikoloji, sosyoloji, sosyal çalışmalar ve proje yönetimi gibi disiplinlerin de olduğu bir yapı sergilemektedir. Hukuk alanında kabul edilen yeni bir yaklaşım olarak hukuk tasarımı ile kullanıcı merkezli yenilik, adalete erişimin yaygın olarak sağlanması, hukuk eğitiminde niteliğin arttırılması ve kullanıcıların tatmin edici bilgiyle memnuniyetinin arttırılması mümkün olacaktır.

Knowing how the deictic expression is delivered in our daily interaction is way necessary to help participant in avoiding an ambiguity interpretation. This researcher aimed to analyze how speaker and hearer interaction in Diary of a Wimpy Kid dealt with place deictic expression and to reveal the type of place deictic used within each usage by considering some different usage of deictic term proposed by Levinson (1983) and other linguist. This research used descriptive qualitative method to analysis place deictic term found in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie. There are four different usage found, they are gestural, symbolic, anaphoric, and non-anaphoric usage. Both gestural and symbolic involve pure and impure place deictic. While anaphoric and non-anaphoric only involve pure and impure for each. Those usage is use differently to convey meaning based on context of utterance that tied to the participant.

Magnesium oxide nanoparticles were synthesized and characterized by using UV-Visible spectroscopy, SEM, XRD, EDAX, FTIR, and AAS. Toxicity tests were observed at 96 hours in different concentrations of magnesium oxide nanoparticles exposed in mrigal. The sub-lethal studies were conducted for 14 days. Biochemical and haematological parameters were estimated. The UV-Visible absorption spectra demonstrate that magnesium oxide nanoparticles were measured in the wavelength range of 200-1100. Morphological characteristics were observed by using SEM at the wavelength of 2µm. EDAX spectrum showed two peaks located between 0KeV to 10KeV. The peak at 1.2KeV comes from magnesium and the second peak at 0.3KeV indicates oxygen. XRD results confirmed the crystalline size of magnesium oxide nanoparticles and the approximate particle size is 10nm. The FT-IR spectrum was analysed at the wavenumber range of 400-4000cm-1and the functional groups are alcohols, alkaline, anhydride and sulfonate. Atomic absorption spectroscopies estimate the convergence of metallic components in magnesium oxide. Total protein and lipid content in the muscle, gill and liver of Mrigal is significantly increased and carbohydrate content decreased when reared in different magnesium oxide concentrations. All the blood parameters are gradually increased from lower concentration to higher concentration. In the DPPH assay, when hydrogen donating ability with the DPPH, the red colour turns to yellow colour. Hydroxyl radical scavenging assay showed that the polyunsaturated fatty acid moieties of cell damage in lower concentration compared to higher concentration.
