Unprecedented Legal Measures in the Wake of Corona Virus: The Ugandan Perspective
Authors:   Judge- High Court of Uganda, Katono Evelyn Happy
Published: December 2022

The Corona Pandemic is one of the problems which continues to affect the globe as the death tolls and the numbers of infected people keep increasing. It is against this backdrop that States have evoked Public Health Law as a measure of protecting their citizens. In light of the above, this article examines International, Regional and Ugandan Public Health regimes in the fight against COVID-19. In order to control the spread of the Corona virus the government of Uganda introduced measures such as lockdowns restriction of movement, curfew and closing borders, bars, shopping malls and non-food markets. Enforcement of these measures and laws has been characterized by violence, brutality and excessive use of force from police and other security agencies. This has raised a lot of debate about the protection of human rights in the wake of the COVID 19. The article also examines the impact of such measures on human rights and seeks to assess their justification. The article underscores the fact that derogation from human rights during public health emergencies should be guided by the international and regional human rights regimes to which Uganda is a party. The article thus discusses the international and regional human rights instruments in relation to public health law and underscores the need to strike a balance in order to respect human rights. Key Words: Corona virus, COVID 19, derogation, epidemic, human rights, infectious diseases, international human rights instruments, limitations, pandemic, restrictions.

Published: December 2022

One of the most evident ways in which the metaverse can influence higher education is by providing students with a more immersive and enriching learning experience, which allows students to experiment and practice in a more functional and meaningful manner. A panoramic review including 44 scientific articles was conducted to describe the main applications and potentialities of the metaverse in education. Augmented reality can become a powerful tool to improve teaching and learning, since it allows students to interact more actively with the content and fosters more immersive and meaningful learning. Metaverse avatars are a technology enabling users to create and control a digital representation of themselves in a virtual environment. The metaverse can have applications in education, including communication and collaboration, enriched learning, improved learning based on projects and accessibility. We can conclude that the metaverse can provide students with a more immersive and enriching learning experience. Through virtual reality, learning environments simulating real situations and scenarios can be created, which allows students to experiment and practice in a more practical and meaningful manner. The metaverse can facilitate distance learning and collaboration between students and professors from different places around the world, which increases the learning opportunities and fosters cultural diversity.

Authors: Rojas Concepción Adrián Alejandro , Guerra Chagime Raydel
Published: December 2022

Metaverse has gained significant attention in recent years, as advances in technology have made it possible for people to interact with each other and with virtual environments in increasingly immersive and realistic ways. Some potential applications of the metaverse include virtual reality gaming, virtual events and conferences, virtual tourism, virtual education and training, virtual real estate, and virtual socializing. The metaverse is also being explored as a potential platform for remote work and collaboration, allowing people to work together and share ideas in a virtual environment. Creating a World Metaverse Index (WMI) can be important for a number of reasons: Navigation and discovery, Categorization and organization, Community building and networking, and Research and analysis. There are several indicators that could be taken into account when creating a WMI: Size and scope, Theme or focus, Technology and platform, Popularity and user base, Content and features, and Quality and stability. World Metaverse Index can be an important resource for users, creators, and researchers of virtual worlds, helping to facilitate the exploration and development of this growing and increasingly important area of the internet. This index should aim to provide users with a comprehensive overview of the different virtual worlds available, including information about their size, theme, technology, popularity, content, and quality.
ORTA ANADOLU’DA BİZANS DÖNEMİ HIRİSTİYAN HAC YOLLARI
Authors: ŞENGÜL Fatma
Published: December 2022

Erken Hıristiyanlık tarihinde ilk hac uygulaması Bizans İmparatoru I. Konstantin’in 325 yılında Hıristiyanlığı resmi din ilan etmesinin ardından annesi Helena’yı İsa’nın doğduğu, çarmıha gerildiği ve gömüldüğü kutsal alanları ziyaret edip, kilise inşa faaliyetlerinde bulunmak üzere Kudüs’e göndermesi ile başlamıştır. İlk hacı olarak kabul edilen Helena’nın Kudüs yolculuğu sırasında İsa’nın çarmıha gerildiği haçın parçalarına ulaştığına dair inançların yayılması ile birlikte dördüncü yüzyılda Kudüs’ü ziyaret ve hac faaliyetleri önem kazanmıştır. Hacılar Kudüs’ün yanı sıra Hıristiyanlık adına şehit düşmüş aziz ve azizlere adanan yerleri de kutsal mekânlar olarak görmüş, ziyarette bulunmuşlardır. Hıristiyan hacılar, farklı medeniyetlerin ve dinlerin buluşma noktası olan ve Hıristiyan inananlar için birçok kutsal yeri barındıran Anadolu toprakları üzerinden kutsal toprakları ziyaret etmek için deniz ve kara yoluyla Kudüs’e ulaşmıştır. Bu çalışmada Erken Hıristiyanlık Dönemi’nde hac faaliyetleri ele alınmış olup, İstanbul’dan Kudüs’e uzanan Hıristiyan hac yolculuğunda Orta Anadolu’daki önemli merkezleri ortaya koymak amaçlanmaktadır. Bu kapsamda Helena ve Helena’dan sonra yolculuğa çıkan hacıların kullandığı güzergâhlar, hacıların kaleme aldığı itenerariumlar ve uğradığı yerler tespit edilip, Orta Anadolu’daki hac yolları ve önemli merkezler harita çizilerek belirtilmiştir. Orta Anadolu bölgesinde kullanılan bu yollar Roma resmi/askeri yolunun geçtiği ana noktalar olup, aziz ve azizelerin öldüğü ve röliklerinin muhafaza edildiği yerler ile piskoposluk merkezleri de önem kazanan diğer yerler olmuştur.
COVİD-19 GÖLGESİNDE EL-MUBERRED’İN ‘ET-TE‘ÂZÎ VE’L-MERÂSÎ’ (TAZİYELER VE AĞITLAR) ADLI KİTABINDA TAUNU YENİDEN OKUMAK
Authors: DOĞRU İhsan
Published: December 2022

İnsanlık âlemi birkaç yıldır 2019 yılında Çin’de patlak veren ve oradan tüm dünyaya yayılan Covid-19 salgını gölgesinde yaşamına devam etmektedir. Eskisi kadar korkutucu sahneler içermese de hala koronavirüs bulaşması sebebiyle gerçekleşen ölüm haberleri basında yer almaktadır. Bu ölüm haberleri her kesimden insanda kaygıya sebep olmaktadır. Bugün insanımız nasıl virüsle ilgili olup ondan hala korku duyuyorsa geçmişte yaşayan insanlar da - hastalıkla ilgili günümüz insanı kadar yeterli bilgi sahibi olmasalar da - taun olarak adlandırılan salgınlardan korku duymuşlar ve bu kaygılarını dile getirmişlerdir. Taun (veba) sorununa tabiplerin yanı sıra veba salgınına şahit olan ya da olayı duyan tarihçiler, seyyahlar, dil ve edebiyatçılar ilgi duymuş, konuyu farklı yönleriyle ele almıştır. Arap yazar ve şairler bu konuya yazı ve şiirlerinde yer vermiş ve onların bazıları da salgın sebebiyle vefat etmiştir. Toplu ölümlerin yaşandığı bu zamanlarda şiirler söylenmiş, yazılar yazılmıştır. Bu salgın hastalık taziye ve mersiyeleri içeren kitaplara da konu olmuştur. Meşhur dil bilginlerinden el- Muberred de ‘et-Teâzî ve’l- Merâsî’ adlı eserinde salgına yer vermiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı el- Muberred’in bu kitabında taunla ilgili mensur sözler ve şiirlerin ele alınması, hangi hususların öne çıktığını irdeleyip onun günümüzdeki salgında görülen psikososyal tutum ve davranışlarla örtüşen yanlarını ortaya çıkarmaktır. Çalışma Muberred’in ‘et-Teâzî ve’l- Merâsî’ adlı eserinde taunla sınırlı tutulmuştur.
Author Function in the Poetics of Contemporary Music
Authors:   Russian Gnesins’ Academy of Music, Panteleeva Yuliya N.
Published: December 2022

The term “author function,” derived from the famous work of Michel Foucault What is an author?, is projected in this work on a number of works by contemporary composers in Russia and other countries. The theme of discussion is music: Sounding Letters by Alfred Schnittke, Clavier Music by J. S. Bach (The Zagny Collection) by Sergei Zagny, Bridges to Bach by Giya Kancheli, Quartet Fragmente-Stille, an Diotima by Luigi Nono and Anamorphosi by Salvatore Sciarrino. The problem of authorship is included in the mainstream of urgent issues associated with the study and interpretation of the meaning of contemporary musical compositions. In some of them, the composer’s figure is marked in the music itself, while in others, on the contrary, it marks its absence. Various diverse ways of functioning of the composer’s voice often arise in the intertextual space, which makes it possible to capture the distance between different works and composers’ styles. Our field of vision also includes the composer’s words dedicated to the problem of authorship.
About Claude Debussy’s Harmony. Some Aspects of Tonality
Authors:   Russian Gnesins’ Academy of Music, Aleev Vitaly V.
Published: December 2022

The article is devoted to certain issues related to harmony in Claude Debussy’s music, as well as their coverage in work with students of higher musical institutions. The focus of our attention lies on the categories of tonality and functionality as the most important aspects of the composer’s harmonic style. The tonality of his music is presented, on the one hand, based on traditions manifesting the late romantic tendencies of extended tonality; on the other hand, taking into account, the individual original musical solutions presented by the composer in some particular compositions of his. The latter are demonstrated in the close combination of tonal “states,” the application of the principle of “directing” tonality, and introduction of the elements of chromatic tonality. Attention is paid to Debussy’s special harmonic techniques, which became constructive for his work – the “autonomous” interaction between two different seventh chords which possess a multi-vector tonal-functional orientation, as well as “harmonic montage.” The article comes up with the conclusion that Debussy’s harmonic system is comprised of the synthesis of many of its particular manifestations, which make it possible for us to examine its most important specific features in a new way.
The Listener and the Work as the Dualistic Basis for the Morphological Analysis of Music
Authors: Glivinsky Valery V.
Published: December 2022

In morphological analysis, the musical work and the listener are seen as elements of one communicative duality. Each element of this duality may play the role of either subject or object. This paves the way for a more flexible approach towards analyzing a musical text. The morpheme, one of the cornerstones of morphological analysis, can be defined as a sound construction with a typical set of characteristic features. The other cornerstone, the morph, transforms a morpheme into a genеriс, stylistic “flesh and blood” of a specific musical text, on the basis of polymorphism. One bright example of the depth and rapidity of morphic transformations in Tchaikovsky’s music is the finale of his First Piano Concerto. From the point of view of morphological analysis, the musical development in the “Introduction” to Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring is based on a step-by-step approach to an externally existing object, making it possible for us to perceive (see or hear) its details. The object itself is polymorphic, i.e., similar to an embryo; it contains within itself, from the start, every element it needs for further development. The starting point of the “Introduction,” the high-register bassoon melody accompanied by the supporting line of the horn, can be defined as a forest viewed in a distance, from where the sound of a shepherd’s horn can be heard. The ten intonational elements of the initial three measures of the ballet provide the base from which the form of the “Introduction” is developed.
Assessing Attitude Towards Physical Education Among Students By Using A Previously Validated Instrument
Authors: Mario Moroo , Das Dr. Anindita
Published: December 2022

The study purpose was to assess attitude towards physical education among students by using apreviously validated instrument. The participants included males and females of classes 7 = 113, 8 = 100, 9 = 68, 10 = 72. Considering the instrument in total attitude scores, a two-way ANOVA was applied and considering the instrument in subscales, a two-way MANOVA was applied. Considering in total attitude scores of the instrument, descriptive statistics revealed that all the classes had favorable attitude towards physical education regardless of gender and with regard to gender. Two-way ANOVA indicated that there were no statistically significant differences across classes, among gender and interaction of class and gender on the total attitude scores of the instrument. Considering in subscales of the instrument, descriptive statistics revealed that all the classes indicated a favorable attitude on each of the subscales regardless of gender and with regard to gender. Two-way MANOVA indicated that there were no statistically significant differences across classes, among gender and interaction of class and gender on each of the subscales of the instrument. Although, previous studies indicated that attitude towards physical education decreases with respect to increase in class however, based on the findings in this study, we did not find as such. The reason could be attributed to a possible positive experiences felt by the students in physical education class leading to formation of positive salient behavioral beliefs and hence positive or favorable attitude towards physical education.

Authors: ÖZDEMİR Sinan , GÜNAYDIN Yahya Kemal
Published: December 2022

ABSTRACT

Aim: Acute heat failure is a significant reason of morbidity and mortality that is commonly seen in the emergency department. In our study, we aimed to investigate the effectiveness of serum sodium and chloride levels for predicting the prognosis of the patients with acute decompensated heart failure.

Material and Method: Our study has been conducted in Health Sciences University Emergency Medicine Department Ankara Health Application and Research Center Emergency Clinic (SBÜ Acil Tıp ABD Ankara SUAM Acil Tıp Kliniği) between 1.12.2018 and 1.12.2019 after receiving ethics committee’s approval. Our study is a prospective, observational clinical trial. 120 patients older than 18 years old with informed consent who admitted to emergency department with the diagnoses of acute heart failure and acute decompensation of chronic heart failure were included without any exclusion criteria. The cases included in our study were divided into 3 groups; the patients who had got treated in the emergency department and discharged from the hospital, the patients who were hospitalized in cardiology clinic and the patients who were hospitalized in intensive care unit. Serum sodium and chloride levels in blood samples were compared when these 3 groups of patients were admitted to the emergency department.

Results: 48.3% (n:58) of patients were discharged from the hospital while 26.7% (n:32) of patients were hospitalized and 25% (n:30) of patients were hospitalized in intensive care unit. The patients with serum chloride levels below than 98.5 mmol/l needed longer hospitalization while no significant correlation between serum sodium levels and hospitalization ratio was detected.

Conclusion: Lower serum chloride level is a valuable indicator for evaluating the prognosis and predicting the need of hospitalization of the patients who were admitted to the emergency department with acute heart failure. There was no correlation between the serum sodium levels and prognosis and the need for hospitalization.

Published: December 2022

The trial involved twenty four early lactating Murrah buffaloes randomly selected and divided into four groups T0, T1, T2 and T3 comprising six animals in each group. The experimental Group T0 received basal ration containing concentrate mixture, paragrass and paddy straw, Group T1 received basal ration + 40 ppm zinc/animal/day, Group T2 received basal ration + vitamin E 1000 IU/animal/day and Group T3 received basal ration with combination of zinc 40 ppm + vitamin E 1000 IU for 13 weeks trial period. The average dry matter intake of buffaloes from various Experimental groups was comparable. The average milk yield and FCM yield of Group T3 was significantly (P<0.01) higher than Group T0 and T1, however, difference between T2 and T3 was comparable. The feed efficiency in terms of DM intake/kg FCM yield was significantly (P<0.01) better in Group T3 than Group T0 and T1. The average milk composition was not affected by the feed treatment. The milk somatic cell count was significantly (P<0.05) lowered in all Supplemented group. Thus, it is concluded that the supplementation of zinc 40 ppm and vitamin E 1000 IU and their combination found to be beneficial for increasing milk production and improving milk quality in term of lower somatic cell count and such supplementation is cost effective and beneficial for dairy farmers. More benefits were recorded in combination of zinc and vitamin E Supplemented group than the unsupplemented or only zinc Supplemented groups.
ANALYSING THE IMPACT OF PMO CULTURE ON PMO SUCCESS
Authors:   Swiss Business School, Zurich, Switzerland, Alnuaimi Aiysha , Joslin Robert ,   AIPMO, Wollerau, Switzerland
Published: December 2022

This study looks at the relationship between PMO culture and PMO success from a control theory perspective. PMO success was operationalized using three concepts: (a) domain of control, (b) domain of influence and (c) domain of concern. The motivation of the study is to understand if and how culture types could influence PMO success and what are the attributes of these cultures. Using Cameron and Quinn’s culture model, a cross-sectional, worldwide online survey yielded 219 responses. Analysis was done through factor analysis and moderated hierarchical regression analysis. The factor analysis showed that both clan and market culture types correlate to PMO success. A case study then determined the antecedents of culture types and how they influenced PMO success. PMOs that were more commercially focused, that is, supporting revenue-generating projects, were more market culture oriented, whereas PMOs that were internally focused were clan culture type. The implications for practitioners are that competence profiles of PMO people will need to be aligned to the culture type of the PMO that is linked to PMO success. The results are important for academics as PMOs have different culture types depending on the customers and the clients they serve.

Published: December 2022

The subject of the research is the possibility of implications of project management tools within the possibility of implementing reforms in public administration in the conditions of the Slovak Republic. For this purpose, the Stop bureaucracy strategy and its two reforms in the field of informatization with the objective - to allow technically and legislatively the replacement of paper confirmations requested by public authorities in accordance with the "once and only principle” in the Slovak Republic - were selected. The results point to the fact that in addition to the need to involve relevant actors to ensure the effectiveness and democratic aspect of policy making in multi-level governance, the duration of the relevant parliamentary term also has a direct impact on the possibilities of implementing reforms and their projects in public administration. The review of two reforms in the recent two parliamentary terms provides an insight into other attributes that, in synergy, affect the possibility of implementing changes in the public administration of the Slovak Republic during one parliamentary term.
PROJECT... AND THEN WHAT? PROJECTIFICATION AS AN INSTRUMENT FOR IMPROVING THE CAREER OF MANAGERS OF NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS
Authors:   Faculty of Management Engineering, Białystok University of Technology, Poland, Małecka-Dobrogowska Marta
Published: December 2022

BACKGROUND: Development of civil society occurs in various forms. One form of development is the activity of non-profit organizations, visible in the increase in number of foundations and associations around the world, as well as in Poland. The activities of these organizations in the corporate sector and the public sector are carried out through a sequence of implemented projects. Contemporary management trends penetrate the world of non-profit organizations. This is a result of progressive globalization and unification of management methods, leading to progressive temporalization, professionalization, hybridization, or automation of processes. In particular, the phenomenon of all-encompassing projectification and its identified variations, such as ‘euro-projectification’ (projects based on programs of the European Union institutions) can be observed when projects replace any activity taking place in the organization, in connection with the organization’s employees, or its environment. ASSUMPTIONS/APPROACH: The scientific debate on the phenomenon of projectification concerns the management of enterprises or projects in the public sector. A much smaller, almost negligible percentage of researchers concern themselves with aspects and consequences of projectification in the management of non-profit organizations (NPO). To contribute to the scientific discussion on projectification, the author will present the consequences of this phenomenon on the example of managers of Polish non-profit organizations. The aim of the study was to analyse managers’ experience of the process of projectification and to gain an understanding of how this phenomenon changed the way they manage their non-profit. METHODOLOGY: The data presented in this study concern 204 NPO managers. The results of the study were extracted from a representative survey conducted in Poland on a sample of 385 non-profit organizations. To fully illustrate this phenomenon, the study was supplemented with quantitative data from ten interviews conducted with NPO managers. The aim of the discussions was to collect more general data on the consequences of managing an increasing number of projects.
HACKATHONS FOR IDEATION AND CO-CREATION IN THE CONTEXT OF PROJECT SOCIETY

Published: December 2022

Based on the experiences of the first IPMA Hackdays in 2020 and the findings from the literature, this paper aims to place the concept of hackathons in the context of project society as a means for ideation and co-creation in the preparation phase of projects and to conceptually prepare the IPMA Hackdays 2022. Hackdays are based on hackathons popular in software development, which allow ideas to be transformed into initial concepts or prototypes. However, no attempt has yet been made to explore hackathons as a precursor to social projects. In this way, we position hackathons as a participatory effort for generating ideas for projects aiming at concepts, products, or services addressing societal challenges. Furthermore, we illustrate how projects during the hackathons can also be utilized for educational purposes, on the one hand in academic education and on the other hand as part of professional training.

In this paper, the analysis of the sources of scientific literature, international, and national standards in the field of project management was carried out in order to form a list of requirements for knowledge, skills and personality qualities of a project manager. Modern scientific literature focuses on product, project sustainability and sustainable processes, but there is a noticeable lack of research on the changes taking place in the competencies of project managers in the context of sustainable development. The scientific hypothesis tested in this study is based on the assumption that the requirements for the competencies of the project managers have changed due to the inclusion of sustainability. In the second part of the study, this hypothesis was confirmed by the results of a survey conducted among Russian project managers of various economic spheres of activity. The survey also contributed to identify the most important knowledge, skills and personality traits needed by project managers for successful sustainable project management.
KEY DETERMINANTS EXPLAINING DIFFERENCE IN CROSS-COUNTRY PROJECTS PERFORMANCES AMONG IMPLEMENTATION COUNTRIES IN AFRICAN CONTEXT
Authors:   Project Management Institute, Azondekon Christson
Published: December 2022

In the last two decades, there is a significant effort of research in international project management primarily focusing on success factors, but those searches are yet to focus on cross-country projects perspective and moreover to perfectly highlight the root cause of the difference appearing in cross-country' project performance across different settings. Using structural equation modeling (SEM), we shed light on the key determinants that explain the difference in cross-country project performance across countries of implementation. Four main categories of critical success factors for international development, that are the matching of the project goal and real needs of the countries (beneficiaries), the context (politic, legal, social-cultural) of implementation, the level of stakeholder engagement in each country, project managers and project teams' competencies and capabilities in Project management in each country, have been hypothesized as explaining the difference of performance in our theoretical model. However, the final model from the structural equation modeling shows that the level of stakeholder engagement in each country explains more the difference in performance observed among countries, even though the influence of the three other categories is not totally null.

Too much governance can stifle innovation in organizations. Too little governance can waste precious organizational resources. Business agility demands empowerment of people to take decisions on initiatives designed to deliver innovative products and services. Traditional monthly and quarterly governance forums such as steering committees and program boards for decision-making potentially impede the flow of work when the delivery of a program or project is done using agile methods in two-weekly sprints and decisions are required at a different and more frequent cadence. Data Science Initiatives (DSIs) which are exploratory and innovative in nature follow agile delivery methods. This paper is an exploratory study of implementing governance for DSIs based on a single case study. It investigates agile governance at project, program, and portfolio level for DSIs and suggests eight guiding principles focusing on product and portfolio governance. It is targeted at practitioners to guide them in setting minimum viable governance to ensure value is realized from their DSIs and for academics to advance research in governance of DSIs.

Published: December 2022

This study assessed tourists’ perception of Okomu National Park as an eco-tourism destination. Tourists’ destinations can be a place or a resort where tourists go and stay or it could be an area or country in where a visitor stays and travels. Data for this study were collected from primary and secondary sources. Results from this study shows that their trip motivations are attraction oriented with game viewing extremely important to their visitation. This study therefore recommended that, Okomu National Park in conjunction with other governmental bodies should fashion out a process to facilitate community empowerment with a view to diverting the attention of the inhabitants of the surrounding communities from illegal logging, which most of them depend on. Thus, to meet the needs and the satisfaction of the eco-tourists, continuous research in these areas is important, particularly in emerging ecotourism markets like Nigeria.

O principal objetivo deste artigo é avaliar as orientações da Lei nº 10.639/2003 no campo educacional, bem como demonstrar como a literatura infantil pode ser importante ferramenta pedagógica para ajudar a desconstruir o preconceito racial. Metodologicamente, a pesquisa assume caráter qualitativo e caracteriza-se por bibliográfica com análise documental da Lei nº 10.639/2003. A análise da Lei vem problematizar a discussão sobre a existência de legislação vigente que oriente o trabalho pedagógico realizado pelos educadores e a proposta de utilizar a leitura e a literatura como ações para desconstruir o preconceito racial. Nessa perpesctiva, a escola assume de fato seu papel democrático, com um currículo que contemple a diversidade, no qual a escola se apresente como espaço inclusivo. Este é o desejo das pessoas que realmente estão comprometidas com a educação e que esperam que através do trabalho consciente na temática das relações étnico-raciais haja uma sociedade mais justa e igualitária de direitos, onde o respeito mútuo e a diversidade sejam uma prática constante na vida do ser humano.

The research focuses on the perception and awareness of privacy risks to disclose users' personal information on two social networking platforms, Facebook and Instagram. The data was collected from 428 Facebook and Instagram user from 15 to 29 years old by an online questionnaire. The Structural Equation Model (SEM) was used to analyze the relationships in the research model supported by SPSS 20.0 and AMOS 24.0 software. Results indicate that if user trust or confidence is high in social networking sites such as Facebook and Instagram, the perception of user privacy risk is low. This result is beneficial for the researcher to have a fresh look at consumer behavior. For businesses, it takes a long time to develop a product that will gain the trust of customers. They must ensure that their products are as risk-free as possible in order to maintain consumer trust, because when consumers choose to trust, they always expect the product's risk to be as low as possible or zero. From the research results, it is possible to make suggestions for solutions to overcome the perceived problem of users in disclosing personal information on social networks in general. And it clearly shows that the factors that motivate online social media users to disclose personal information are extremely different.

Araştırmada, çocuğu otizm spektrum bozukluğu tanısı almış annelerin sürekli umut düzeylerinin onların yaşı, eğitim durumu, mesleği, sosyal destek alma durumu, sosyal yardım alma durumu, toplam çocuk sayısı, gelir düzeyi, otizmli çocuğun yaşı, çocuğun otizmli olduğunu ilk öğrendiğinde en çok hangi duyguyu yoğun olarak yaşadığı ve çocuğun otizmden etkilenmişlik düzeyi demografik değişkenlerine göre farklılık gösterip göstermediğinin belirlenmesi amaçlanarak onlara verilecek psikoeğitim ve psiko-sosyal desteğin planlanması ve içeriğinin belirlenmesi hedeflenmiştir. Sürekli umut ölçeğinin ve demografik bilgi formunun kullanıldığı araştırma, Samsun il genelinde özel eğitim uygulama okulları ve özel eğitim ve rehabilitasyon merkezlerine devam eden çocuğu otizm spektrum bozukluğu tanısı almış anneler ile engelli sivil toplum kuruluşlarına üye olan ve otizmli çocuğa sahip 100 anne ile random yoluyla seçilen amaçsal örneklem grubu üzerinde pandemi döneminde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler IBM SPSS V23 ile analiz edilmiş ve çocuğu otizm spektrum bozukluğu tanısı almış annelerin sürekli umut düzeyleri sadece toplam çocuk sayısı değişkenine göre farklılık göstermektedir (p=0,022). 1 tane çocuğu olan annelerin sürekli umut düzeyi puanı ortanca değeri 51 iken 2 tane çocuğu olan annelerin puanının ortancası 55, 3 ve üzeri çocuğu olan annelerin puanının ortancası 48 olarak elde edilmiştir. Bu farklılık 2 tane çocuğu olanların sürekli umut puanı ortancasının 3 tane ve üstü çocuğu olanların ortancasından yüksek olarak elde edilmesinden kaynaklanmaktadır. Alternatif yollar düşüncesi, eyleyici düşünce ve sürekli umut toplam puanı diğer değişkenlere göre yani annelerin yaşına, eğitim durumuna, mesleğine, sosyal destek alma durumuna, sosyal yardım alma durumuna, gelir düzeyine, otizmli çocuğun yaşına, çocuğun otizmli olduğunu ilk öğrendiğinde en çok hangi duyguyu yoğun olarak yaşadığına ve çocuğun otizmden etkilenmişlik düzeyine göre farklılık göstermemektedir. Annelerin çocuklarının otizmli olduğunu ilk öğrendiklerine en yoğun olarak yaşadıkları duyguların %74’nün keder ve çöküntü, %14’nün suçluluk, %7’nin inkar ve %5’inin kızgınlık olduğunu ve bu duygularıyla başedebilmeleri amacıyla onlara yönelik psiko-eğitim ve psiko-sosyal destek hizmetlerinin verilmesinin çok önemli olduğu anlaşılmaktadır.

Published: December 2022

KOBİ’leri dördüncü sanayi devrimi bağlamında nasıl bir gelecek beklediği konusuna odaklanan yönetim yazınının incelendiği bu çalışmada iki temel tespit yapılmaktadır. Birinci; yönetim araştırmacılarının Endüstri 4.0 teknolojilerinin entegre edilmesi durumunda örgütlerin bilgi aktarımı ve örgütsel bellekte bilgi depolanmasının nasıl etkileneceği konusunu büyük ölçüde ihmal ettiği yönünde bir tespittir. Bir yandan her şeyin internetinden bahsedip, her şeyin dijital bir veriye dönüşeceği üzerine çıkarımlar yapılırken, öte yandan bu sürecin nasıl örgütsel değişimler getirebileceği ya da nasıl sonuçları olacağı üzerine somut öneriler yeterli seviyede görülmemiştir. İkinci tespit ise; dördüncü sanayi devriminin getirdiği ve getirecekleri konusunda bilgi üretecek yönetim araştırmalarının geleneksel yöntemlerden ileri gidemediği yönündedir. Yeni teknolojilerin örgütlere adapte edilmesini modelleyecek, sonuçlarını öngörecek yöntem ve tekniklerin örgüt araştırmacıları tarafından benimsenmemiş olduğu görülmüştür. Bu tespitler doğrultusunda yönetim araştırmacılarının teknoloji odaklı bir sanayi devriminin örgütlerde yaratacağı değişimi anlayabilmesi için çalışma disiplinlerini kademeli olarak dijital dönüşüme uyumlandırmasına yönelik önerilerde bulunulmuştur.

Published: December 2022

The unsteady flow of a viscoelastic fluid with heat and mass transfer has been studied, taking into consideration the effect of induced magnetic field. The governing equations in dimensionless form have been solved analytically using perturbation technique. Solutions were obtained forthe velocity, magnetic, temperature and concentration distributions, as well as the Skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number. The influence of various parameters such as the thermal Grashof number, mass Grashof number, Schmidt number, Prandtl number, viscoelasticity parameter and the frequency of oscillation on the flow field was examined. It was observed that the velocity increases with the increase in mass Grashof number, thermal Grashof number and permeability parameter, and it decreases with increase in Schmidt number and Prandtl number. The temperature becomes lower with increase in Prandtl number while the concentration falls due to the increase in Schmidt number.
