Published: February 2021

Bu çalışmanın amacı, vakıf üniversitelerinde okuyan öğrencilerin “vakıf üniversitesi öğrencisi” olmaya dair açıklamalarının incelenmesidir. Bu amaçla, vakıf üniversitelerinde okumakta olan öğrencilerle derinlemesine görüşmeler yapılmış ve öğrencilerin açıklamalarına kaynaklık eden söylemlere bakılmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında; çoğunluğu 20’li yaşlarda olmakla birlikte, 18-45 yaş aralığında 19 vakıf üniversitesi öğrencisi ile görüşülmüştür; 12 öğrenci ile bireysel görüşme yapılmış, diğerleriyle de 2 ayrı odak grup görüşmesi yapılmıştır. Görüşmeler yarı-yapılandırılmış tarzda yürütülmüş ve ses kayıt cihazı ile kaydedilmiştir. Kaydedilen görüşmeler, söylem analizi tekniği ile analiz edilmek üzere yazıya dökülmüştür. Görüşmelerin analizi sonucunda; katılımcıların açıklamalarının “vakıf üniversitesine dair söylemler” ve “vakıf üniversitesi öğrencisi olmaya dair söylemler” şeklinde iki başlık altında toplandığı görülmüştür. Vakıf üniversitesine dair söylemler başlığı altında iki temaya ulaşılmıştır; “eğitim kalitesi” ve “erişim kolaylığı”. Benzer şekilde, vakıf üniversitesi öğrencisi olmaya dair söylemler başlığı altında da iki farklı temaya ulaşılmıştır; “başarısız/yetersiz öğrenci” ve “ayrıcalıklı/zengin öğrenci”. Ayrıca katılımcıların açıklamalarında “kendini olumsuzlamaya karşı kendini eşitleme” şeklinde bir ideolojik ikilemin söz konusu olduğu görülmüştür. Analiz sonuçları bir bütün olarak ele alındığında, “vakıf üniversitesi”nin ve “vakıf üniversitesi öğrencisi”nin öncelikle olumsuz bir şekilde anlamlandırıldığı görülmektedir. Her ne kadar vakıf üniversitelerinin bazı açılardan olumlu yönleri veya avantajları olduğu söylense de özellikle “eğitimin kalitesi” ve “akademisyenlerin niteliği” bakımından devlet üniversitelerine kıyasla daha olumsuz değerlendirildiği; bununla bağlantılı şekilde vakıf üniversitesi öğrencisinin de devlet üniversitesi öğrencisine göre daha “başarısız/yetersiz” olarak konumlandırıldığı söylenebilir.
Küreselleşme, Göç ve Kadın Sağlığı
Authors: ÇAKIR Berna , ÇEVİK Celalettin
Published: February 2021

Küreselleşme, ürünlerin, düşüncelerin, kültürlerin ve dünya görüşlerinin paylaşımıyla ortaya çıkan uluslararası bir bütünleşme sürecidir. Göçü tetikleyen küreselleşme bireyleri yeni dünyalarla tanıştırmış ve dünya üzerinde hareketliliğe neden olmuştur. Bu hareketlilik sağlık sorunlarını ve sosyal sorunları da beraberinde getirmiştir. Göçe katılanların yaklaşık yarısını kadınlar oluşturmakta olup kadınlar göç sürecinden en çok etkilenen riskli gruplar arasında yer almaktadır. Kadınların göç etme nedenleri arasında can ve mal güvenliği, evlenme, çalışma, eğitim ve ailesel nedenler yer almaktadır. İsteğe bağlı ya da zorunlu olarak meydana gelen göçler kadın sağlığını olumlu ya da olumsuz olarak etkilemektedir. Kadınlar göç ettikleri yerde farklı kültüre uyum sağlamada, sağlık hizmetlerinden yararlanmada, dil engelinden dolayı iletişimde ve çalışma hayatında zorluklarla karşılaşmaktadırlar. Kadınlar hem göçmen hem de kadın olarak ayrımcılığa maruz kaldıkları için daha dezavantajlı durumdadırlar. Kadın göçmenler ayrıca cinsel taciz, tecavüz ve şiddet eylemlerine karşı oldukça savunmasızdır. Bu derlemede halk sağlığı bakış açısıyla göç ve küreselleşmenin kadın sağlığına olan etkileri ele alınarak çözüm yolları tartışılmıştır.

Authors: OKKAY İpek , BAL Fatih
Published: February 2021

Empati başkasının duygularını paylaşma yeteneğidir ve insanların gösterdiği en önemli özelliklerden biri sayılabilmektedir. Empati, paylaştığımız şeyleri keşfetmektir. Empati kurabilme yeteneği sevmemizi, öğrenmemizi, iletişim kurmamızı, iş birliği yapmamızı, gelişmiş ve başarılı bir toplumda yaşamamızı sağlamaktadır. Modern iletişim teknolojileri, günlük işlerimizi kolaylaştırmaktadır. İnsanlar kendi yaşamlarını ve topluluklarını iyileştirmek için gerekli değişiklikleri vurgulamak için empatiyi kullanırlar. Çağdaş kültürün diğer birçok öğesinde olduğu gibi sosyal ve mobil teknolojilerin hızlı bir şekilde benimsenmesi toplumun iletişim modellerini değiştirmiş ve özellikle dijital iletişim ile birlikte empati kavramı sarsıntıya uğramaya başlamıştır. Gelişen iletişim teknolojileri empati açığına sebep olabilmektedir. İletişim teknolojilerinin getirdiği tüm yenilik ve ilerlemeler topluma fayda sağlasa da fazla teknoloji kullanımı ilgisizlik, anti sosyallik gibi psikolojik sorunlara neden olabilmekte, iletişim kurma becerilerini zayıflatabilmektedir. Araştırmada veri toplama yolu olarak, "belge tarama- literatür tarama" yönteminden yararlanılmıştır. Bu doğrultuda iletişim teknolojilerinin empati kavramı üzerinde yaptığı değişiklikler alanyazında incelenmiştir. İletişim teknolojilerinin insanların empati kurabilme yetenekleri üzerinde negatif etkisi olduğunu, insanlar bireyselleştikçe empati açığının arttığı gözlemlenmiştir.

SANTO TOMÁS DE VILLANUEVA, UN OBISPO EVANGÉLICO PARA RENOVAR Y RECONSTRUIR LA DIÓCESIS DE VALENCIA EN EL SIGLO XVI
Authors: Cañizares Llovera Antonio
Published: February 2021

El propósito de este artículo es ayudar a situar y encuadrar, en su conjunto, la figura de quien fue Arzobispo de Valencia, Santo Tomás de Villanueva, a quien hemos estudiado largamente. Oriundo de tierras manchegas, llevó a cabo la gran obra de renovación que necesitaba la Diócesis de Valencia del siglo XVI, un siglo apasionante de reformas y renovación, tanto en la Iglesia como en el mundo entero. Así, también, fue el siglo de los grandes reformadores españoles que tanta verdad y gloria han aportado a la Iglesia y a la grandeza de España. El centro de esta contribución es el descubrimiento de una teología episcopal en Santo Tomás de Villanueva. En la misma se descubren algunas claves de interés para la interpretación de la figura y la obra del Obispo evangélico, un ideal que él mismo diseñó lúcidamente en su doctrina y que verdaderamente encarnó en su vida. Su figura y su doctrina siguen constituyendo un referente que nos ilumina en el tiempo presente por la autenticidad de su mensaje. Santo Tomás reclamaba en su tiempo, como el Papa Francisco nos pide ahora, una Iglesia de los pobres y para los pobres.
LA VIDA RELIGIOSA EN LOS ESCRITOS DE SANTO TOMÁS DE VILLANUEVA
Authors: Orcasitas, OSA Miguel Ángel
Published: February 2021

Sto. Tomás de Villanueva fue religioso agustino antes de ser nombrado arzobispo de Valencia, pero mantuvo siempre un estilo de vida acorde a su condición de religioso. En sus predicaciones hay muchas referencias a la vida religiosa, que centran la atención de este estudio. Como otros santos padres en diferentes épocas históricas, Sto. Tomás de Villanueva es, sin duda, uno de los pilares de la reforma de la Iglesia en España y de la defensa de la ortodoxia y de la vida religiosa. La seguridad de su enseñanza, fundada en la Biblia, acorde siempre con la doctrina de la Iglesia, hace que el santo arzobispo de Valencia tenga un lugar destacado en la historia de la Iglesia y que ocupe un puesto eminente entre los defensores de su doctrina y de su moral. Fue doctor no innovando, sino sosteniendo y defendiendo la doctrina frente a la desintegración que experimentaba la vida religiosa en Europa, como fruto de los ataques y principios de los reformadores protestantes y de su propia relajación interna. Esta seguridad de su magisterio resulta evidente en la defensa del valor de la vida consagrada y de los principios evangélicos y bíblicos en que se inspira, en total sintonía con lo proclamado años después por el concilio de Trento.
‘PADRE DE LOS POBRES’ EL LUGAR DE LOS POBRES EN EL PENSAMIENTO PROFÉTICO DE SANTO TOMÁS DE VILLANUEVA
Authors: Gómez García, OAR. Enrique
Published: February 2021

Este artículo analiza cómo Santo Tomás de Villanueva, “Padre de los pobres” según su decreto de su beatificación, es digno de este título en virtud de la preocupación que mostró por estos en su vida y actuación. Se profundiza en la relevancia que los pobres y la pobreza adquieren en la predicación y doctrina del santo agustino. Comenzando por el análisis del trasfondo de su personalidad caritativa, esta investigación aborda la configuración de una posible teología de los pobres desde él en la que, como se verá, los indigentes y menesterosos adquieren una importancia singular. Por último, se expone cómo la comprensión de los pobres y la pobreza que mostró Santo Tomás de Villanueva, proyectan en su pensamiento un exigente deseo de reforma eclesial que repercuta en un cambio de modelo social.
International protection of the fundamental rights and freedoms of irregular migrants
Authors:   Majmaah University, KSA, Ahmad Issa Muhammad
Published: February 2021

The situation of the migrants particularly irregular migrants is closely related to the respect for human rights, as long as migration is a social phenomenon with a human dimension. The question of international protection was therefore before the international community, which recommended the formulation of legal solutions to the issue of migrants wherever they may be, considering their rights primarily a humanitarian issue, with a view to the rehabilitation of this group, which is deprived of the enjoyment of the most important human rights. This trend was embodied in the conclusion of the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their families on December 18, 1990, under the auspices of the United Nations, and was the culmination of a 12-year effort by a group of international experts. There are many international mechanisms for the protection of irregular migrants, including those relating to general international conventions for the protection of human rights, the Special Rapporteur of the Human Rights Council on the rights of migrants, and the Com- .mittee on the Protection of the Rights of Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families

Published: February 2021

The aim of this study is to highlight on the impact of public training programs outcomes on the development of personal and technical trainee skills from the perspective of trainees in Lebanon. This study summarized and showed the effect of public training programs outcomes, on the actual acquisition of technical and personal skills of the trainee. The results were unsatisfactory, as the results showed the dissatisfaction of the trainees with the reality of the general training industry in Lebanon, whether in terms of the quality of the training programs, the standards of the trainers or the standards of the training providers. The study also identified some of the reasons that made the training sector lack professionalism and quality, specifically: the absence of official Lebanese authorities controls on this sector and the lack of regulations, the absence of standards in the selection of trainers to provide training programs and the lack of quality in the instructional design preparation with clear outputs determination, in addition to the nature of the training centers that have made their profitability as priority and most essential factor. Among the recommendations mentioned by the researchers: The Lebanese official authorities should regulate the training sector and consider all training activities under educational sector and set clear laws and standards to determine how to manage any training activity in order to ensure the desired outcomes and quality, each training provider must adopt specific standards in how to manage training activities (training programs preparation, trainers selection, return on training investment). Before attending any training program, the trainee should check the criteria that allow him to get the desired return on training investment. The researchers also set several criteria for the main variables of the study: training pro- .grams, trainers, training providers and return on training investment

Beşinci sınıf öğrencilerinin 7. ve 8. sınıf öğrencilerine göre fiziksel aktivite düzeylerinin daha yüksek olduğu görülmüştür.
Sonuç: Çalışmada ortaokul öğrencilerinin dijital oyun bağımlılığı ile fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri ve uyku alışkanlıkları arasında anlamlı bir ilişki olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Öğrencilerin dijital araçlara erişiminin ebeveyn kontrolü altında olması ve ekonomik nedenlerle çocukların dijital oyun araçlarına sınırlı erişimleri nedeni ile bu sonuçların ortaya çıktığını düşünmekteyiz.

Background: End-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients on maintenance renal replacement therapy (RRT) have far lower life spans than those of the general population. No previous studies have been performed to assess the mortality of dialysis patients in the State of Qatar. We designed this study to assess the mortality of dialysis patients in Qatar and the impact of dialysis modality.

Methods: All chronic ambulatory dialysis patients (both on hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) between 2014 and 2016) were included in the study, whereas patients undergoing dialysis for less than 3 months were excluded. We reviewed patients’ demographics, comorbidities, and general laboratory investigations through our electronic record system and collected and analyzed them. We identified patients who died during that period and compared them to those who survived. We performed a subanalysis for HD versus PD patients who died.

Results: The total number of deceased dialysis patients was 164, with an overall crude mortality rate of 6.4%. They were significantly older than those who survived (p = 0.0001). The mortality rate was significantly higher in female than in male patients (51.2% and 38.9%, respectively) (p = 0.004) but significantly lower in PD than HD patients (1.36%, PD; 5.0%, HD; p = 0.007). It was also significantly higher in natives than in the expats (60.3% and 39.6%, respectively) (p = 0.0008); however, no significant differences were noted between deceased natives and expats in most demographic and laboratory characteristics. The most common cause of patient death was CVD (62 patients, 37.8%), followed by sepsis (44 patients, 26.8%). Diabetes, cerebrovascular accident, and dyslipidemia were more common in HD deceased patients than in PD patients (80.6%, 47%, and 59%, respectively, in HD patients vs 68.5%, 42%, and 31%, respectively, in PD patients). Albumin and potassium levels in deceased PD patients were significantly lower than in HD patients (p = 0.001).

Conclusion: Our study found that the high-risk population had a significant mortality, which was higher in HD than PD patients. This is the first study to look at these outcomes in Qatar. We identified multiple mortality associated factors, such as comorbid conditions and old age. We believe that improving treatment and close monitoring for comorbid conditions in the dialysis population might improve survival.
Comparative Analysis of Agriculture Policies for Tobacco Planting and Processing, and the Correlation With the Illicit Production and Trade of Tobacco Products in Countries of the Western Balkans
Authors: Muca Etleva , Kazazi Fatmir
Published: February 2021

Tobacco planting and processing has a long tradition in the Western Balkan region, including Albania, Kosovo, Montenegro and North Macedonia; over the last 20 years, however, farmers have faced a significant decrease in production. In Montenegro and Kosovo, for example, the surfaces planted with tobacco are almost inconsequential.Agricultural policies and legal and procedural frameworks regulate all related processes, such as tobacco seed distribution, registration of farmers, disclosure of land farmed for tobacco, production yield, and the various collecting and processing stages, as well as the enforcement capacities of the related law enforcement institutions. These factors have significantly impacted tobacco production and trade, including the levels of illicit production and trade.This paper is based on empirical analysis, evaluation of the statistical data of tobacco-related state policies and country interviews related to tobacco production costs in the region, which affect sector-related policies.Our findings indicate that Albania has a lack of clear and coordinated policies, procedures, and enforcement capacities to regulate and monitor all processes, from planting to the processing and trade of tobacco. North Macedonia is in a much better situation in this regard and a new draft tobacco law, associated with a series of implementation regulations is expected to result in further improvements. In the Albanian case, strong evidence suggests that there are considerable tracts of land planted with tobacco and many illegal tobacco-processing plants.

Published: February 2021

The main aim of this study was to find out the perceptions of the parents about the rural school climate. This study was set in a selected rural primary school located in Hebei Province, in China. Data were collected using questionnaires and a semi-structured interview protocol. 103 parents participated in the questionnaire and 10 parents were invited to take part in the focus group interview. The findings in the questionnaires had revealed that parents had positive perceptions of the rural school climate. Inferential statistics further showed that there was no significant difference in parents’ perceptions based on education level, and the male parents’ perceptions of school administrators, teachers, and students were higher than the female parents. The focus group interview further revealed that parents felt that the rural schools were unable to establish a complete school curriculum, lacked a sufficient number of teachers, had a shortfall of adequate infrastructure, had school violence, inadequate extracurricular activities, and programs.

In this study, the Audience Response System was investigated as an additional tool for interaction, and its effects on the educational environment were examined. The system was implemented at the Faculty of Sports Sciences of Trakya University in the fall semester of the 2019-2020 academic year. A pre-test of 20 questions, which was asked in the educational sciences section of the public personnel selection examination and had a similar item difficulty index, was applied to the experimental and control groups prior to the implementation of the ARS. Then, the experimental group was asked to solve the educational sciences questions with the help of the ARS-supported lectures, which were delivered 4 h a week for a total of 16 h. The same implementation was imposed on the control group without the ARS support and with the classical recitation method. A post-test of 20 questions with a similar item difficulty index was administered to both groups after this test. Data were analyzed using the SPSS 25.0 package program. A t-test was used to determine the differences between the arithmetic mean of the pre-test and post-test scores of the students. Because the unequaled control group method was used in the experiment design, the “ANOVA for Repeated Measurements” was used for intragroup and intergroup comparisons. In conclusion, it was determined that the implementation of interactive interaction technologies in the educational environment will capture the interest of students and amplify their motivation levels. The results of the study support the conclusion that the ARS system stimulates the sensory organs in terms of understanding the subject, thereby increasing the level of learning.

In the Far-North region of Cameroon, watermelon cultivation still faces several constraints that represent a major threat to fruit production. This requires research for maintaining and improving the crop yields. The present study was aimed at investigating the insect fauna associated with watermelon for its optimal management. Observations allowed the identification of insect-visiting fauna to the crop, to assess the role played by each species on growing watermelon, to evaluate the means of protection used by farmers and to make useful projections towards the biological control of the natural enemies of insect pests. Twenty two insect species visited the vegetative organs of watermelon. Fruit flies were found to be the most common and most damaging group for watermelon production. The larval stage of Syrphidae and adults of Coccinellidae and Formicidae were identified as important biocontrol agents. Watermelon requires effective phytosanitary cover for its optimal production. A non-significant fruit set rate was obtained between experimental treatments (T). The rate of mature fruit was zero in T0 which does not benefit from pollination and health care. Protective means used locally guaranteed the production of mature fruits by 24% in T1 without any sanitary care, 36% in T2 impregnated with neem Azadirachta indica (Meliaceae) leaf’s extract, and 54% in T3 treated with an insecticide named Optimal. Due to the strong involvement of chemicals in the protection of watermelon production at the study site, their use is often a problem for safeguarding the balance of the ecosystem and the health of farmers and consumers. It is therefore essential to promote the use of pollinators and to protect the natural enemies of insect pests to enhance sustainable production of watermelon in Yagoua.
Treatment of Singularly Perturbed Differential Equations with Delay and Shift Using Haar Wavelet Collocation Method
Authors: Raza Akmal , Khan Arshad
Published: February 2021

An efficient Haar wavelet collocation method is proposed for the numerical solution of singularly perturbed differential equations with delay and shift. Taylor series (upto the first order) is used to convert the problem with delay and shift into a new problem without the delay and shift and then  solved by Haar wavelet collocation method, which reduces the time and complexity of the system. Further, we apply the Haar wavelet collocation method directly  to solve the problems. Also, we demonstrated several test examples to show the accuracy and efficiency of the Haar wavelet collocation method and compared our results with the finite difference and fitted operator finite difference method [11], [28].

O e-mail é uma das mais populares formas de comunicação. Porém, não é raro encontrar mensagens indesejadas nas caixas de entrada do correio eletrônico. Estas mensagens são conhecidas como spams. Em um contexto onde uma quantidade cada vez maior de mensagens são enviadas e recebidas por todo mundo, técnicas para filtrar automaticamente estas mensagens consideradas como spams são de grande importância. O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar dois classificadores para filtrar mensagens de e-mail indesejadas, isto é, identificar se determinado e-mail é ou não é um spam. Foram utilizadas duas técnicas de aprendizado de máquina: Máquina de Vetor de Suporte (SVM, do inglês SupportVectorMachine) e Rede Neural Artificial (RNA). Para o segundo classificador, utilizou-se 5 (cinco) RNAs do tipo MultilayerPerceptron (MLP) com o algoritmo de aprendizagem ResilientPropagation - Rprop (variação do Backpropagation), com arquiteturas (camadas) e configurações (taxa de aprendizado e número de épocas) distintas, formando um comitê de redes. Os dois classificadores apresentaram taxas médias de acerto de 91,3\% e 93,6\%, respectivamente. Percebeu-se que a técnica de aprendizado SVM apresentou resultados superiores quando comparada a uma única RNA específica (dependendo da arquitetura), porém mostrou-se inferior quanto ao desempenho de um comitê de RNA. Além disso, SVM se mostrou mais rápida na realização do treinamento do que as RNAs.
Bots Sociais: Como robôs podem se tornar pessoas influentes no Twitter?

Published: February 2021

Sistemas que classificam usuários influentes nas redes sociais têm sido usados com grande frequência, sendo referenciados em artigos científicos e na mídia como padrão ideal para avaliação de influência na rede social Twitter. Consideramos esta medição algo complexo e subjetivo e por isso suspeitamos da vulnerabilidade e facilidade de manipulação nesses sistemas. Baseado nisto, realizamos experimentos e análises em dois sistemas de classificação de influência: Klout e Twitalyzer. Criamos robôs simples capazes de interagir, através de contas no Twitter e medimos suas influências. Nossos resultados mostram que é possível ser influente através de estratégias simples. Isso sugere que os sistemas não possuem métricas ideais para classificar influência.
