Presage: What Knowledge and Experience Higher Education Songwriting Students Bring to the Classroom
Authors: Blom Diana , Poole Kim
Published: December 2023

This study analyses the responses of seventy-six students from three Australian higher education institutions in New South Wales entering the songwriting classroom for the first time. While it was assumed that most students had previously composed songs, their views on, and experience with, a range of issues relevant to songwriting itself were unknown. Through a questionnaire seeking responses about student songwriting experience and process, lives in relation to lyrics, inspiration and compulsiveness, notation theory and craft, songwriting order and sense of completion, and notions of “audience” and “market”, findings about the songwriting skills and knowledge students bring to the classroom in the presage stage are discussed. This is then related to a model of previously acquired skills.
Activism, Authority, and Aesthetics: Finding the Popular in Academies of Música Popular
Authors: O'Brien Michael
Published: December 2023

"Música popular" in Spanish comprises an overlapping but distinct category from its English language cognate popular music. Latin American scholars and musicians alike recognize the category as fundamentally linked to subaltern or counterhegemonic subjectivities, and música popular occupies a complex relationship to hegemonic institutions (the state, educational institutions, and the culture industry) in populist democracies like that of contemporary Argentina. Perhaps nowhere are these tensions between populism and hegemony more apparent than in state-sponsored schools of popular music that began to emerge in the 1980s. Based on an ethnographic study of the oldest and one of the best known of these schools in Latin America, this article explores the conceptual tensions inherent in the notion of a populist and counterhegemonic school of music, and provides evidence of the ways those tensions are expressed and partially resolved through discourse and musical performance in and outside of the classroom.

Variational approach to the use of the preposition vu and the conjunction vu que in French
Authors: Kragh Kirsten Jeppesen , Schøsler Lene
Published: December 2023

Inspired by Erling’s abiding interest in variational linguistics, our contribution aims at exploring two interesting, yet rather unexplored, cases of grammaticalization processes – i.e. the grammaticalization and subsequent actualization (Andersen 2001a, 2008) of the preposition vu (‘since’) and the conjunction vu que (‘given’) in French. Our paper is intended to investigate these items, which are found in French from the Middle French period, in order to consider whether they are introduced “from above” or “from below”. Most frequently, innovations start from below, i.e. in unmarked contexts.1 In Modern French the preposition vu is mainly found in legal texts, whereas vu que seems to have spread from legal texts to other registers. This suggests a diachronic process starting from above. We intend to investigate this question by use of diverse corpora including administrative language, novels, historical texts, and web-language, focusing on the role of diachronic, diaphasic (text type), and diamesic variation parameters.
I colori della lingua di una semicolta siciliana
Authors: Amenta Luisa
Published: December 2023

The aim of the paper is to examine the linguistic varieties present in the autobiographical diary of an illiterateSicilian peasant woman, Carolina Drago, who has chosen to entrust her memoirs to the written page. The diary,composed since 2007, when Carolina Drago was more than 70 years old, contains recipes of gastronomicpreparations, prayers, songs as well as the narration of the most significant episodes of her existence seenthrough the eyes and heart of a mother who writes the diary in order to deliver her memories to her childrenand grandchildren. The facts described within only partially intertwine the "great history" (e.g. the Spanishepidemic of the twenties, the Second World War) and dwell rather on the family environment, offering a crosssectionof peasant and popular life that crosses the twentieth century. From a linguistic point of view, CarolinaDrago uses the variety of the repertoire at her disposal: basically, the dialect and popular regional Italian, mixingthe linguistic colours of her poor palette with the enthusiasm of those who want to tell and tell themselves. Alinguistic analysis will also be presented, aimed at demonstrating how the writings of illiterate people allow usto see that Italian defined as "hidden" by Testa (2014), almost in a karstic way, has continued to evolvealongside the normative codification anticipating innovative trends.
La didattica e la zona grigia della grammatica italiana
Authors: Rossi Fabio
Published: December 2023

We try to shed light on some problems of Italian school grammar, such as the difference between verbalpredicate and nominal predicate, the typology of complements according to traditional logical analysis andvalential grammar, the difference between transitive and intransitive verbs, the typology of parts of speech andother classifications (e.g. the distinction between nouns, adjectives, and pronouns, between conjunctions andadverbs, between coordinates and subordinates, etc.). Starting with the concept of the «grey area of thelinguistic norm» (Serianni 2006), we intend here to broaden the discourse to the grey area of grammar. Herewe mean by grey area all those cases in which the same phenomenon is treated in a very different way bydifferent grammars, or cases in which there are big differences between the grammatical treatment and theinterpretation of common speakers. These fluctuations in the treatment of school textbooks do not depend onthe weakness of the linguistic system, but are often the symptom of inadequate focus on certain themes,especially syntactic ones. Despite the diversity of grammatical traditions, the average Italian school grammaris still too tied to prescriptivism, to hyper-logical interpretations, to a merely nomenclatory perspective in thedescription of linguistic phenomena, rather than to analytical observation and the invitation to metalinguisticreflection. School tradition still seems intent on attributing an ontological value to classifications, when instead,in the light of the most up-to-date linguistic theories, categories once established have been radicallyreconsidered. Finally, proposals for updating grammar teaching will be made, in an attempt to bridge the gapbetween the latter and linguistic reflection, starting from the phenomena listed above.

 Ongemakkelijke ontmoetingen: Politieke participatie van jongeren in Amsterdam
Authors: Zweegman Sietske , Rosalina Zulia , Redan Sharifah , Vermeulen Floris , Kaulingfreks Femke
Published: December 2023

De gemeente Amsterdam streeft ernaar de invloed van burgers op beleid te vergroten door in te zetten op participatie. Eerder onderzoek laat verschillen in opkomst bij verkiezingen zien tussen het centrum van Amsterdam en buurten aan de randen van de stad. Jongeren aan de randen van de stad stemmen vaker niet en zijn hierdoor minder goed gerepresenteerd in de formele politiek. In dit onderzoek zijn ontmoetingen tussen jongeren (16-27) en gemeentelijke bestuurders bestudeerd om te zien in welke mate jongeren beleid kunnen beïnvloeden. De conclusie is dat er in dergelijke ontmoetingen weinig ruimte is voor de mening van jongeren, waardoor zij teleurgesteld raken. Jongeren worden vaak gevraagd om te participeren in ruimtes en interacties die niet passen bij hun leefwereld en waarin mensen met macht weinig bewustzijn tonen van hun volwassen invloed. Oplossingen kunnen gevonden worden in het vergroten van eigenaarschap van jongeren, professionals die zich solidair tonen met jongeren en bewustzijn bij gemeentelijke bestuurders over machtsongelijkheid.
Voices of climate justice. Ecosocial work and the politics of recognition
Authors: De Brabander Richard
Published: December 2023

This essay aims to provide an overview of the guiding principles of an ecosocial approach to social work. It discusses this approach from an ethical-political perspective that considers the climate crisis as a multiplier of inequalities and injustice issues. It discusses the question of how the climate crisis affects our understanding of justice and the role social work should play in promoting justice. Apart from economic fair distribution, justice should also involve the recognition of voices that are not being heard. For that reason, the essay addresses the notions of recognition and epistemic justice more deeply.

Authors: Anwar Isrizal , Achmadi Fuad
Published: December 2023

PT. ABC is a paint manufacturing company that has been established since 1978. The products it produces are various types of paint, both water based and solvent based. Inside PT. ABC has a Metal Production Department whose job is to make paint packaging cans, because PT. ABC makes cans for packaging its paint products independently. One of the work stations that play an important role in the continuity of the production process in the Metal Production Department is the component manufacturing work station. At the work station, the process of making components is carried out using a press machine, namely by carrying out the blanking / punching process on tinplate sheets according to the size needed. Data for 12 months shows maintenance activities that are not optimal and cause high downtime because the machine is damaged, this study aims to find out how much the performance of the machine is using the Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) method as well as the loss of machines that are damaged and reduce very high down time by implementing strategies scheduling of set up intervals on ring sheet press machines with the Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) method. The OEE calculation results show an effectiveness value of 77.22%. There are components that are still not good and are below world class standards, namely availability of 79.81% of the standard limit of 90%. And from the results of the six big losses analysis, it is obtained that the losses that are dominant to the low availability value are set up and adjustment with a losses percentage of 10.34%. Factors that affect the high set up and adjustment time are found through fishbone diagrams. RCM analysis is performed to calculate the set up and adjustment time intervals and then make a set up and adjustment time scheduling plan. As well as given suggestions for improvements given through humans, machines, materials, methods, and the environment it is hoped that the effectiveness of the ring sheet press 1 machine can increase.
Language use in the construction of memory: A study of T-shirts inscriptions of graduating students
Authors: Uwen God’sgift Ogban , Ellah Stephen Magor
Published: December 2023

This paper examines the linguistic choices in the construction of memory on the T-shirts worn by graduating students at the University of Calabar and Cross River University of Technology, Calabar in Southern Nigeria. The study adopts multimodal discourse analysis and memory theories to account for the motivations behind the inscriptions, the situational meanings they communicate and the explication of the semiotic resources within the social context of the university environment. A total of 112 graduating students representing the target population participated in the study. The data were generated by means of semi-structured interviews while using audiotape recording and digital cameras as research tools to elicit the appropriate information. The findings show that the use of inscripted T-shirts has become a popular youth culture among graduating students in Nigerian universities purposively devised to re-enact memories of their complex experiences as students. As demonstrated by the participants, the T-shirt inscriptions reflect the collective (un)pleasant memories of achievement and self-fulfillment, relief and freedom, gratitude, leadership and challenges which transmitted via semiotic resources that portray peace, joy and social elevation. The messages are combined to covertly portray the deteriorating state of education in Nigeria and call for revamping strategies that could introduce a conducive environment, and a promising economy that would ease hardship on Nigerian students.
Attaining the sustainable development goals using blockchain-based cybersecurity
Authors: Okewu Emmanuel , Onobhayedo Pius , Moru Desmond
Published: December 2023

Sustainable development or sustainability refers to meeting the needs of the present generation while not compromising on the needs of future generation. The cyberspace has increasing become a tool for actualizing sustainable development given the increased volume of online transactions. However, the cyberspace has equally been used to perpetuate crime and criminality, culminating in high level corruption in the society. Corruption thrives in secrecy in governance, weakens state institutions, and promotes injustices in the society, making the actualization of the Sustainable Development Goal 16 (SDG 16) a mirage. Since SDG 16 is the cornerstone for the actualization of the remaining 16 SDGs, this vision paper proposed a blockchain-based cybersecurity system for engendering transparency and accountability in governance, using the Nigerian polity as a case study. We used Use Case diagrams and n-tier Component Diagram to explain how functionalities of blockchain technology can be used to address trust deficit occasioned by crime and criminality. We also harped on how the implementation of the proposed system can impact on the attainment of the SDGs by the target year of 2030.
NAMIK KEMAL VE ABDÜLHAK HAMİT TARHAN’IN MEKTUPLARINDA MİLLÎ ŞUUR
Authors: ŞAHİN Ahmet Metehan
Published: December 2023

Türk edebiyatı içerisinde Tanzimat Dönemi’nin ayrı bir yeri ve önemi vardır. Bu dönemde bireysel ve toplumsal sorunların yanında hem siyasi hem de edebî karmaşalar vuku bulmuş, Türk edebiyatına yeni his ve fikirlere ek olarak yeni türler de girmeye başlamıştır. Tanzimat Dönemi edebiyatçıları önceleri fikirlerini beyan etmek, seslerini duyurmak ve halk ile aralarında bir köprü kurmak maksadıyla gazeteyi benimsemişlerdir. Ancak zamanla mevcut olan türlerin kişilerin ideolojilerini yansıtma noktasında eksik yahut yetersiz kaldığı aşikâr olmuş böylece sanatçılar düşüncelerini duyurabilecekleri yeni türler aramaya koyulmuşlardır. Eski Türkler tarafından haberleşme amacıyla sıklıkla kullanılan mektup türü, Tanzimat Dönemi sanatçılarının da etkisiyle hem duyguların hem de fikirlerin muhataba ulaştırıldığı bir tür olma niteliği kazanmıştır. 19. yüzyılda Osmanlı Devleti, içerdeki ve dışardaki problemlerle aynı anda uğraşmış yeni bir savaşın patlak vereceği ihtimali dahi halkta büyük bir tedirginliğe sebep olmuştur. Tanzimat Dönemi edebiyatçıları da dönemin şartları ve karışık yapısından dolayı vatanın bekası ve milletin istikbali için bir çıkış yolu bulmaya çalışmıştır. Dönem içerisinde faaliyet gösteren ve eser kaleme alan edebiyatçılar da çeşitli türlerde yazmış oldukları eserler vasıtasıyla fikir, görüş ve önerilerinden bahsetmişlerdir. Bu türlerden biri de hiç şüphesiz mektuptur. Namık Kemal’in ve Abdülhak Hamit Tarhan’ın eş, dost ve sevdiklerine yazmış olduğu mektuplar incelendiğinde; devlet, millet, askerlik ve şehitlik gibi Türk milletinin benliğinde kutsiyeti olan kavramlara dair düşüncelerini muhatap ile paylaştıkları görülecektir. Hem Namık Kemal’in hem de Abdülhak Hamit Tarhan’ın mektuplarında değerlendirmeye tabi tuttuğu kavramlar aynı zamanda dönem insanın fikirlerini de ihtiva etmektedir. Çünkü onlar toplumun birer mensubu olmalarının yanında aynı zamanda toplumun aynasıdırlar. Özetle Tanzimat Dönemi’nin duygu ve düşünce durumunu dönemin edebiyatçılarından daha iyi tespit edecek ve değerlendirecek başka hiç kimse yoktur. Bu minvalde çalışmada, Tanzimat Dönemi edebiyatçılarından Namık Kemal ve Abdülhak Hamit Tarhan tarafından çeşitli kişi ve kurumlara yazılan mektuplar incelenmeye tabi tutulmuş hem o dönemki toplumun hem de edebiyatçıların yukarıda bahsedilen kavramlar üzerinden millî his ve fikirleri tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır.
Båtelfiske i lugnflytande åar 2021 – metod, resultat och erfarenheter
Authors: Näslund Joacim , Ardestam Björn , Hällbom Malin , Renman Ola , Staveley Thomas
Published: December 2023

Båtelfiske är en provtagningsmetod som använts relativt sparsamt i Sverige. Denna rapport sammanfattar en provtagningsinsats i företrädelsevis lugnflytande vattendrag i södra Sverige under år 2021. Syftet med provtagningen var att med en ny standardiserad metod [vilken togs fram i samband med detta provfiske, men har publicerats separat (Havs- och vattenmyndigheten, Övervakningsmanual för akvatisk miljöövervakning: Fisk i rinnande vatten – elfiskebåt, version 1.0)] samla in ett dataunderlag som kan används för utveckling av bedömningsgrunder för ekologisk status inom vattenförvaltningen. Eftersom mer data kommer krävas för att utveckla robusta bedömningsgrunder fokuserar rapporten huvudsakligen på att 1) beskriva och motivera metoder och val av insamlad data, 2) beskriva fångsterna i grova drag, i förhållande till tidigare skattad fysikaliskkemisk status och ett antal omgivningsvariabler, och 3) undersöka vilka typer av vattendrag som vi saknar data från efter insatsen 2021. Rapporten avslutas med en sektion som presenterar de erfarenheter vi fått under 2021 års elfisken. Totalt fångades 18 arter och 8885 individer i 18 vattenförekomster (38 provfiskeplatser). Arterna som fångades i flest provfisken var: mört (18 vattenförekomster, vfk; 37 provfiskeplatser, pfp), abborre (17; 34), benlöja (16 vfk; 31 pfp), gädda (15 vfk; 29 pfp) och sarv (9 vfk; 16 pfp). Vi noterade att ovanligare arter med känd förekomst i ett vattendrag inte alltid fångas, att bottenlevande arter inte fångades i särskilt stor utsträckning, att gädda tenderar att fly undan elfiskebåten på ickehåvbart avstånd och att stimlevande fisk (t.ex. benlöja och yngel av karpfisk) till relativt stor andel kan missas när mängden individer som påverkas av elfisket är stor. Med kännedom om dessa skevheter i data (d.v.s. jämfört den antagna faktiska fiskförekomsten) torde dock ändå bedömningar om den ekologiska statusen gå att göra, åtminstone i grova drag, t.ex. genom analys av relativ frekvens och storleksfördelning av vanligt förekommande arter. Olika miljövariablers relation till fångsten (antal arter och antal individer) undersöktes grafiskt med slutsatsen att mer data krävs för att se generella mönster. Observerad dödlighet var i genomsnitt 3,4 %, men variationen mellan olika provfiskeplatser var stor (spann 0 – 31 %). Överlag var dock observerad dödlighet betydligt lägre än 10 %. Vad gäller fördröjd dödlighet är läget idag okänt. Vattendragstyper där data saknas efter 2021 års båtelfisken utgör en allt för lång lista för att summeras i denna sammanfattning (se istället sammanställning i Tabell 2-5). Generellt anser vi att den nya standardiserade metoden förefaller fungera bra i medelstora vattendrag med relativt höga fisktätheter, däremot verkar det finnas potentiella problem att fånga tillräcklig mängd fisk i större vattendrag (antagligen på grund av att fisken är mer rumsmässigt utspridd).
Entropic force in a dilute solution of real ring polymer chains with different topological structures in a slit of two parallel walls with mixed boundary conditions
Authors: Kuterba P. , Danel Z. , Janke W.
Published: December 2023

The molecular dynamics simulations were used to obtain the radius of gyration of real ring polymer chains with different topological structures consisting of 360 monomers. We focus on the entropic force which is exerted by a dilute solution of ring polymer chains of different topological structures with the excluded volume interaction (EVI) in a good solvent on the confining parallel walls of a slit geometry. We consider mixed boundary conditions of one repulsive wall and the other one at the adsorption threshold. The obtained molecular dynamics simulation results for a wide slit region demonstrate a qualitative agreement with previous analytical results for ideal ring polymers. These results could lead to interesting potential applications in materials engineering and improve understanding of some biological processes suggested in the paper. Additionally, they could be applied in micro- and nano-electromechanical devices (MEMS and NEMS) in order to reduce the static friction.

Authors:   Assistant professor, RR INSTITUTES, Bangalore University, Bangalore, R GEETHA
Published: December 2023

A Blockchain is essentially a distributed database of records, or public ledger, of all completed and shared transactions or digital events. Each transaction in the public ledger is validated by a majority of the system's members. Information can never be deleted after it has been submitted. The Blockchain includes a precise and verifiable record of every single transaction that has ever occurred. The most well-known application of Blockchain technology is Bitcoin, a decentralized peer-to-peer digital money. Although the digital currency bit coin is very contentious, the underlying Blockchain technology has performed perfectly and has found a wide range of uses in both the financial and non- financial worlds. The basic idea is that the Blockchain creates a means for achieving distributed consensus in the digital online world. By producing an unquestionable record in a public ledger, involved entities may be assured that a digital event occurred. It paves the way for the transition from a centralized to a democratic, open, and scalable digital economy. This innovative technology offers huge possibilities, and the change in this field has just begun. This research paper describes Blockchain technology supports crypto currency and some specific applications in both the financial and non- financial sector and also this research paper will examine the difficulties that lie ahead and the business opportunities for this fundamental technology that is going to transform our digital world.

Authors:   Sreyas Institute of Engineering and Technology, Nagesh V
Published: December 2023

In agriculture, the integration of machine learning has been a long-standing aspiration, resulting in significant advancements. While machine learning models have been developed for crop and yield predictions, traditional algorithms like decision trees often fall short of delivering the desired accuracy. This paper introduces an accessible and user-friendly solution for crop recommendations and yield predictions. Users provide inputs such as temperature, humidity, soil pH, and rainfall. To enhance accuracy, a hybrid approach using K-nearest neighbor (KNN) and Random Forest (RF) algorithms is employed. The K-nearest neighbor (KNN) algorithm achieves an impressive accuracy rate of 98%. Additionally, the Random Forest (RF) algorithm attains a commendable 96% accuracy by aggregating multiple decision trees. These high accuracy rates signify the system's potential to empower farmers with data-driven insights for crop selection and yield projections. Furthermore, the user-friendly interface promises broader adoption within the agriculture sector, catering to users with varying levels of technical proficiency. To strengthen the system's credibility, transparency regarding data sources and quality is imperative. Utilizing accurate and relevant data for reliable predictions. In summary, this paper presents a promising solution for informed decision-making in agriculture, combining crop recommendations and yield predictions. Acknowledging the limitations of traditional approaches, it capitalizes on the strengths of K-nearest neighbor and Random Forest algorithms.

Introducción: El tromboembolismo pulmonar es una complicación frecuente en pacientes hospitalizados, con elevadas tasas de mortalidad de no tratarse precozmente. Si bien puede ser prevenible, su desenlace depende, en gran medida, de un diagnóstico rápido.

Desarrollo: Esta es una enfermedad de complejo diagnóstico que constituye un grave problema para el sistema de salud mundial. Ocupa la tercera causa de muerte cardiovascular, tras la enfermedad coronaria y los accidentes vasculares cerebrales. Entre los principales factores de riesgo se reconocen: edad avanzada, antecedentes de cáncer, uso de estrógenos exógenos, embarazo y/o postparto, inmovilización de extremidades inferiores, traumatismo o cirugía reciente, tabaquismo, empleo de catéteres o electrodos permanente y trombosis venosa profunda.

Aplicaciones prácticas: La valoración exhaustiva del comportamiento clínico anatomopatológico de esta enfermedad en los servicios de urgencias permitió un mejor manejo de los pacientes, a la vez que se logró reducir la mortalidad y mejorar la calidad de vida.

Conclusiones: En la literatura revisada predominó la enfermedad en senectos con varios factores de riesgo asociados; resultó útil la escala de Wells, con escasa concordancia entre el diagnóstico clínico y anatomopatológico en un alto por ciento de los pacientes.
New Institutionalism: Public Agents’ Choices Based on Individual Interests
Authors: Silva Arraes Jeremias Pereira da , Pereira José Matias-
Published: December 2023

This essay aims to explore the emergence of new institutional theory based on the historical context of the formation of modern society with the change in basic cultural rules. It is observed that there is a change in the power to govern, which was previously given by God or inherited and now depends on the will of society. A movement of rationalization of choices emerges that end up leading to private interests. The vision of the matrix of classic sociological thinkers ends up influencing the intellectual orientations of the Western world and brings important statements to understand the organizations of modern society. The study concludes that the new institutional theory and the theory of public choice help to understand the actions of public agents in favor of their individual interests.

Published: December 2023

The current study investigates the relationship between volunteer stewardship action-taking, motivation toward engagement in volunteer activities, and the ability to teach others during the COVID-19 pandemic. The final data set included 1,196 responses from the Penn State Extension Master Gardeners and Master Watershed volunteers, which provided a response rate of 39.9%. The results of this study showed that approximately 15.1% of the variation in volunteer stewardship action-taking experiences could be explained by volunteers’ motivation toward engagement in volunteer activities and their ability to teach others. Most findings are in line with previous research. Extension and outreach educators and volunteer coordinators can better prepare their Master Gardeners and Master Watershed volunteers for effective responses to their community needs, especially in times of uncertainty. More research is needed in volunteer stewardship action-taking experiences during times of uncertainty and change.

Super Parents is a group-based, Extension-led parenting
program developed to enhance the parent-child relationship. Implemented by trained Head
Start staff using the train-the-trainer model, this effort is achieved by teaching
positive parenting practices, increasing parents’ knowledge of child development,
instructing parents in activities and exercises for enhancing their child’s executive
function skills, and encouraging the use of mindfulness techniques in parenting. The
specific aims of our study were to evaluate the program's effectiveness among parents of
young children ages 0 to 5 by examining changes in parenting attitudes, mindfulness,
executive function, parenting efficacy, stress, and child behavior. Through the use of
pre-program and post-program measures, increases were observed in a number of positive
parenting behaviors and child outcomes, along with decreases in multiple negative
parenting and child behaviors. Findings from this study can inform implementation

Published: December 2023

Brains escape, especially the flight of scientific staff from universities and its negative and fatal effect on the education system, is one of the debatable issues in war and post-war countries. Afghanistan is one of the countries that has experienced many years of war and has had the largest number of immigrants to foreign countries, which has created a great void in this country for skilled and educated people. Therefore, in the current research, the causes of brains escape and its effect on the country's higher education are discussed. The central question of the current research was: "What were the causes of brains escape and what effect does it have on the country's higher education?" The prevailing hypothesis in relation to the raised question is that the continuous crises in the country and the lack of attention to the elites and neglecting them as a national value have caused brains escape and affected the education system in the country. The findings of the research show that war, unemployment, poverty, lack of meritocracy are the main factors of brains escape and this process creates a big vacuum in the country's higher education system. Fortunately, recently, with the rise of privileges and members of the scientific staff and providing security ground in the country, the return of elites and scientific staff in the process of education has increase.

ESKİ KÖYE YENİ ADET: LİDERLİK GELİŞİMİNDE SANAT TEMELLİ YÖNTEMLER
Authors: BİLGİNOĞLU Elif
Published: December 2023

Toplumda, ekonomide ve teknolojide meydana gelen çarpıcı değişiklikler göz önüne alındığında, 21. yüzyıl örgütlerinin yeni eğitim programları yanı sıra yeni, daha spontane ve daha yenilikçi yönetim biçimlerine başvurmaları yani bir anlamda “eski köye yeni adet getirme”leri* gerekmektedir. Bu çalışma, sanat eğitiminin lider davranışını ve liderlik gelişimini etkilemedeki rolünün daha iyi anlaşılabilmesi konusunda yapılan literatür analizi ile müfredatlarında sanat ve sanatsal yöntemleri uygulayan liderlik gelişim programlarına dair kavramsal bir çerçeve sunmaktadır. Çalışmada, sanat temelli liderlik üzerine daha önce yapılmış olan araştırmaların sonuçları hakkında bir özet sunulmakta, bununla birlikte sanat temelli liderliğin günümüz örgütlerinde liderlik gelişiminde kullanılmak üzere kavramsallaştırılması önerilmektedir. Sanat temelli girişimler, liderlere liderlik gelişimi sırasında unutulmaz deneyimler yaratmada rehberlik etmektedirler. Çalışmada örgütlerdeki sanatsal girişimler konusunda liderlerin yönetimsel deneyimleriyle ilgili önemli potansiyeller vurgulanmakta ve bu girişimlerin örgütlerde bir liderlik gelişimi aracı olarak uygulanmasının çeşitli liderlik gelişim hedeflerini destekleyebileceği ileri sürülmektedir. Buradan yola çıkılarak sanat temelli liderlik üzerine daha fazla araştırma yapılmasının gerekliliğinin altı çizilmekte ve bu çalışmanın sanat temelli uygulamalar konusunda çalışmalar yapmak üzere araştırmacıları teşvik edeceği ümit edilmektedir.
