Authors: Özbek Kadir , Gelis Kadir , Özyurt Ömer
Published: January 2024

Even though Turkey has a high potential in terms of solar energy, installed solar energy has a lower capacity than many European countries. With the new initiatives made in recent years, the share of solar energy among energy sources has increased. Turkey has been categorized into four different climate zones by the Turkish Standards Institute (TSE). The cities covered in this study (Antalya, Istanbul, Ankara, and Erzurum) were selected from different climatic regions by the criteria determined by TSE. High-capacity (3 MW) photovoltaic power plants using different system configurations for cities located in different climatic regions of Turkey have been analyzed in terms of technical, economic, and environmental aspects. PVSyst software was used to conduct simulations on fixed tilted (FT), horizontal single axis tracking system (HSAT), and two-axis tracking system (TAT) configurations in the study. It has been concluded that by using HSAT and TAT instead of FT, there will be an increase of 4-6% and 30-37% in annual energy production, respectively. The maximum performance rate for FT, and HSAT systems was calculated at 83.2% in Erzurum (4th region), and the lowest performance rate for TAT systems was determined at 82.3% in Antalya (1st region). The payback periods for the FT, HSAT, and TAT systems were determined to range between 2.9-4.3 years, 4-6 years, and 5.4-8.4 years, respectively. It has been concluded that there will be 41.8-64.7 ktCO2, 40.8-66.8 ktCO2, and 50.9-86.4 ktCO2 fewer emissions for the FT, HSAT, and TAT systems, respectively, in 25 years of operation from an environmental point of view.

Authors: Mahmood Zafar , Rafique Khadija , Khan Umar , Muhammad Taseer , Hassan Ahmed M.
Published: January 2024

Hybrid nanofluids' enhanced thermal efficiency has important applications in many fields of industry and engineering. The goal of this study is to find out how different thermal conductivity models affect important factors in the Darcy-Forchheimer flow and heat transfer of a hybrid nanofluid made of Al2O3 - Cu and water across a moving surface that can let some fluid pass through it. Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), thermal radiation, joule heating, and viscous dissipation are all included in the study. Partial differential equations (PDEs) are made more manageable by reducing them to a set of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) via a similarity transformation. After that, Mathematicaâs shooting technique and the Runge-Kutta algorithm are used to numerically solve these ODEs. The study analyzes the effects of key factors on the major physical quantities of interest and presents the findings graphically and tabularly. The research also shows that differing thermal conductivity models lead to significantly varied average Nusselt values. The rate of heat transmission improves with the addition of (φ2 and S. The Xue model in the hybrid nanofluid shows a 0.7% increase in heat transfer rate compared to the nanofluid, while the Maxwell model shows a 0.64% increase and the Yamada-Ota model shows a 1.01% increase. Importantly, for all the considered models of thermal conductivity, the research shows that the average Nusselt number increases linearly with the nanoparticle volume percentage. Finally, the data shows that the Yamada-Ota model consistently produces far higher average Nusselt values than the other models.
How to recognize national lands (natural resources) and exceptions (non-national resources): objection methods and authoritie
Authors: Bineshian Arash
Published: January 2024

The principles of natural resources include recognition, governance, protection, and exploitation of natural re-sources, among which recognition is the most important. Any enforcement of sovereignty over national lands requires the implementation of a legal recognition process. So, recognizing national lands and exceptions is of great importance. In other words, recognizing national lands and exceptions is the first step in protecting these lands and preventing their waste and change of use. Each country’s natural resources and environment do not belong only to it, but to all the people of the world. In this way, the destruction of national lands does not only mean the deterioration of a part of that country’s capital, but also the destruction of a part of the natural resources and environment of the planet and the wealth of the whole world. Unfortunately, most developing countries have a full-scale war against natural resources and the environment. The author is concerned not only about the preservation of natural resources and the environment in Iran, but also about the whole world. Governments should be forced to preserve, restore and develop natural resources and the environment by using practical international tools, and there is no other choice but to force.

Introducción: el texto tiene por objetivo ofrecer tres directrices mínimas para el control argumentativo en la elaboración de políticas públicas por parte del ámbito administrativo y legislativo. Para tal efecto, el trabajo se ocupa de dos aspectos. El primero plantea la importancia que tiene el binomio democracia deliberativa y Estado constitucional de derecho para la función legislativa. El segundo justifica la importancia de contar con directrices de evaluación para el control de la argumentación legislativa y se ofrece un modelo trigonométrico para analizar las políticas públicas. Metodología: en el presente trabajo, basado en la investigación documental, la problemática de la investigación se aborda desde el realismo jurídico, particularizando el estudio en casos específicos con su respectiva expli-cación. Además del método comparativo en la confrontación de legislaciones aplicables. Resultados: el giro deliberativo en la teoría democrática está vinculado fuertemente con el constitucionalismo moderno, que tiene como motor de legitimidad la protección de los derechos fundamentales. Conclusiones: se concluye que el espacio deliberativo es una interacción vigilante y permanente entre las ten-siones y fricciones de las exigencias de la comunidad que buscan el punto común de desahogo de reclamos y protección de derechos.

Published: January 2024

Az első dokumentált beszámoló Hippokratésztől származik Kr. e 460-ból. Elsőként alkalmazta a manuális manipulációt fájdalomcsillapítás céljából. Ókori Görögországban szintén Kr.e. 460 körül a víz segítségét használták fizioterápiás technikák gyakorlására. Több ókori írásban is leírták már a testmozgás, masszázs jótékony hatását betegségekre. A legtöbb ilyen írást az ókori Perzsiából, Kínából és Egyiptomból származtatják (Pettman, 2007). Fizioterápiában évszázadokon keresztül kevés előrelépés történ. Azonban a 19. században egyre több gyógytornával foglalkozó csoport alakult. Per Henrik Ling (1776-1839) „Svéd torna atyja” 1813-ban megalapította a Királyi Központi Tornaintézetet (Royal Central Institude of Gymnastics). Terápiaként masszázst, testmozgást és manipulációt végeztek. Svédül sjukgymnast jelentése gyógytornász, aminek a fordítása a „betegek tornáztatásával foglalkozó személy” (Shaik, Shemjaz, 2014). Svédországban a gyógytorna egyre nagyobb teret hódított, olyannyira, hogy 1887-ben a Svéd Nemzeti Egészségügyi és Jóléti Bizottság részévé vált.

The results of virtual laboratories that these studies acquired were grouped via content analysis under codes, categories, and themes. When the results achieved by these studies are evaluated as a whole, it becomes clear that virtual laboratory applications positively impact science education with respect to different variables.
Reflection and Collaboration: Barriers to Turkish ELT Teachers` Professional Learning
Authors: BÜTÜN IKWUEGBU Zeynep
Published: January 2024

This pilot study explores the professional learning (PL) of English Language teaching (ELT) teachers in Turkiye, how reflection and collaborative activity play a role in implementing change, and the factors affecting ELT teachers` pursuit of PL. Three ELT teachers were interviewed through narrative interviews, critical incidents and semi structured interviews. Two phrases stood out which encapsulate the different attitudes towards PL - I try no matter what and I try if. While one teacher seems to belong to the first category by showing a high level of motivation to pursue PL regardless of the circumstances, the other two teachers appear to belong to the second category by lacking motivation and feeling motivated only in certain circumstances. As the contexts the teachers were working in were found to affect the power they felt in themselves to bring change, providing individual and collective learning opportunities seems to be very critical for all teachers.

Authors: ÇELİK Şevval , ÖZAYDIN Nilay , BARIŞERİ AHMETHAN Nurtuğ
Published: January 2024

Bu araştırma, Türkiye, İngiltere ve İtalya’da ortaokul düzeyinde kullanılan müzik ders kitaplarını içerik bakımından karşılaştırmalı olarak incelemeyi ve değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Araştırmada veriler “doküman analizi” ile elde edilmiş, verilerin analizinde içerik analizi tekniği kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın evrenini, 2020- 2021 öğretim yılında Avrupa ülkeleri ile bu ülkelerde okutulan 6, 7 ve 8. sınıf müzik ders kitapları; örneklemini ise Türkiye, İngiltere ve İtalya ile 2020- 2021 öğretim yılında 6, 7 ve 8. sınıflarda okutulan seçilmiş sekiz kitap oluşturmaktadır. İngiltere ve İtalya ortaokul müzik ders kitapları İngilizce- İtalyanca dillerinden Türkçe’ ye tercüme edilmiştir.

Yapılan incelemede, Türkiye ve İngiltere’de kullanılan ders kitaplarında müzik teorisi konusu benzerlik göstermektedir. İngiltere’de, film müziklerine, İtalya’da enstrümanları tanımaya. Türkiye’de ise temel müzik eğitimi konularına yer verildiği görülmektedir. Bununla birlikte üç ülkenin her millete ait kültürel mirası içinde barındıran konuların, ezgi ve ritim yaratma bölümlerinin benzer olduğu bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır. Türkiye ders kitaplarında daha çok müziksel bilgilenme alanına ait etkinliklerin olduğu; müziksel çalma ve çalgısal seslendirme temalı etkinliklere daha az yer verildiği saptanmıştır. Bu anlamda Türkiye’de müzik dersine tanınan süre arttırılabilir. Bu sürenin arttırılması çalgı eğitimine de yeterli zamanın ayırılmasına, derste daha çok etkinlik yapılmasına ve derslerin verimli işlenmesine katkı sağlayacaktır.
Family, Women and Religion in the Teaching of Ideological Sociology: A Content Analysis of Necmettin Sadak’s Book “Toplumbilim”
Authors: SAİN Kadir , ZABUN Beyhan
Published: January 2024

Education, as a social phenomenon, interacts with political, social, cultural and economic factors that shape society. Education plays an important role in integrating new generations into society by contributing to the cultural and political norms of the society. At this point, the political socialization function of education comes to the fore. Political socialization refers to the process of directing individuals to participation in political processes and adoption of the political culture of a society. This process involves the individual learning and internalizing the political values, beliefs, norms and behaviours of the society through his/her family, school, media and other social environments, starting from childhood. In the current study, within the context of the political socialization function of education, the book “Toplumbilim” written by Necmettin Sadak and used as one of the high school sociology textbooks of the Republican Era, was analyzed by focusing on the issues of family, women and religion. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that the book was used as a tool of ideological indoctrination.

As cidades, no seio das mais diversas esferas da sociedade (política, academia, sociedade civil, mídia, setores público e privado), cada vez mais, têm ganhado destaque como locais onde diversos problemas socioambientais e socioambientais contemporâneos são negativamente intensificados. E, de modo correlato, as cidades também têm sido vistas como locais nos quais a mitigação de tais problemas pode ser realizada de modo mais tipicamente eficaz. Atualmente, mais da metade da população mundial vive em áreas urbanas, o que torna as cidades ambientes complexos e dinâmicos. As políticas públicas de saúde, neste contexto, desempenham papel fundamental na promoção do bem-estar e na ampliação do acesso à saúde. A realização dos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS) 2 (Fome Zero) e 11 (Cidades e Comunidades Sustentáveis) são fundamentais para a promoção da saúde nas cidades, particularmente através da criação de ambientes alimentares urbanos saudáveis e sustentáveis, que possam melhorar a qualidade de vida das pessoas, promover a equidade e a inclusão social e mitigar os impactos das mudanças climáticas. O ambiente alimentar refere-se ao contexto físico, econômico, ambiental, político e sociocultural no qual os consumidores adquirem os alimentos. Este ambiente, como foi possível depreender a partir do desenvolvimento deste trabalho, influencia sobremaneira nas escolhas alimentares e no estado nutricional das pessoas. Através de ampla revisão bibliográfica sistemática, o presente estudo objetivou investigar em que medida citadinos ambientes alimentares das cidades tipicamente aderentes a preceitos saudáveis, menos desmonetizados e sustentáveis podem, de fato, contribuir para a construção de cidades mais sustentáveis, inclusivas e resilientes.

Published: January 2024

The gut-brain axis links the visceral organs to the medulla oblongata via the vagus nerve. Accessing to the afferent vagal pathway is important to dissect the role of cell populations in the bidirectional communication between brain and body. The jugular-nodose ganglion (JNG) complex contains the cell bodies of many heterogenous neural subpopulations responsible for sensing the physiological and pathological conditions of the thoracic and abdominal organs. However, the study of these ganglia is challenging in small animals due to size and location. Hence, in this protocol we describe a practical surgical approach to the vagal trunk and the JNG complex in mice.

Authors: KARAFERYE Figen
Published: January 2024

The research on classroom management in general is numerous, yet the connection between digitization, classroom management, and Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) has been understudied. The current study explored how primary school teachers managed their digital classrooms while incorporating social and emotional learning into their classroom management practices in the remote teaching period. The study not only examined the classroom management strategies and procedures employed but also investigated teachers’ beliefs and perceptions about managing digital classrooms. The study was carried out with 145 primary school teachers teaching in school grades 1st-4th from five different public schools by adopting stratified random sampling. The data were collected via written responses of the participants with the closed, fixed-response, and standardized open-ended forms developed by the researcher. Descriptive analysis and content analysis were used in the analysis of quantitative and qualitative data respectively. The findings revealed that the majority of teachers led online classroom management processes similar to their face-to-face experiences but were less effective concerning the developmental needs of each student in the digital classroom. Furthermore, the study yielded insight into the stress factors and protective factors within the context of classroom management incorporating SEL, and it provided direction for future implementations concerning teachers’ professional learning needs and expectations.

Authors: ELSAYARY Areej , MEDA Lawrence , KARAKI Suha , MOHEBI Laila
Published: January 2024

The coronavirus (COVID-19) is considered to be an external factor that affects teachers’ attitudes toward online professional development. Therefore, this study investigates the use of virtual communication in an online professional development program through the lens of teachers’ attitudes toward technology. This study was conducted in 15 schools across the United Arab Emirates (UAE) during the COVID-19 pandemic. A teacher training program called The Ta’alouf Inclusion Special Education, one of the initiatives of the Al Jalila Foundation (AJL), aimed to train teachers, promote inclusion, and support children with special educational needs and disabilities. Participants (teachers, school leaders, learning support assistants, social workers, and department heads) received 24 hours of virtual training sessions on numerous topics related to inclusive education and special educational needs and disabilities.
A concurrent mixed-method approach was utilized to collect quantitative data from participants using an online survey and qualitative data using interviews. The study results reveal that the quarantine of COVID-19 did not affect teachers’ continued professional development. On the contrary, teachers felt the ease of using technology and the usefulness of the topics mentioned, which formed their positive attitudes toward using technology and led to their engagement and continuation of developing professionally either during or after the pandemic.

Authors: SIMSEK Gizem , CEYLAN CAPAR Meral
Published: January 2024

The purpose of the study was to examine and compare the foreign language anxiety (FLA) levels of English preparatory school students in two settings namely online and in person classroom lessons. An explanatory mixed-method research design was adopted to accomplish the aim. Two questionnaires were used in the first part to collect quantitative data, and the sample cohort consisted of 234 students from six Turkish state universities. The quantitative data were examined through descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings showed that moderate levels of FLA were present in both online and in person classroom instruction among participants. It was discovered that the FLA levels in two settings differed in a statistically significant way. In consonance with quantitative results, semi-structured interviews with 10 volunteers were done to collect further data. Thematic analysis was used to resolve the qualitative data from the interviews, and as a result, four key themes – interaction, anxiety, problems, and language points – emerged. Students preferred classroom settings for interaction since they could interact in person classroom lessons. Additionally, it was shown that technical issues such as disconnections and speech interruptions caused distress in language learners.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the level of macroeconomic stability of Ukraine based on a set of indicators, the values of which are characterized by unusual trends against the background of the war. The analysis is mainly built on the basis of determining the current and forecast values of GDP, the discount rate, the average exchange rate of the hryvnia, the consumer price index, customer funds among the banking sector, the credit portfolio of the banking sector, the ratio of reserves to the credit portfolio of the banking sector. The stability of macroeconomic indicators determines the possibility of preserving or losing potential for development, which is the basis for the formation of strategic guidelines. The quality and timeliness of the analysis, the validity and accuracy of the interpretation of the results increases significantly in the conditions of crisis phenomena and insurmountable circumstances, in particular, in the conditions of martial law in Ukraine, which is the basis for planning at the level of various economic systems and a condition for the purposeful use of resources, the increase or reduction of business activity. The purpose of this article is to analyze the set of macroeconomic indicators of Ukraine in the context of determining the prospects of its economic dynamics in the conditions of martial law. For this purpose, a study of key macroeconomic indicators of Ukraine was conducted using the methodology of forecasting with the application of regression studies of time series and the autoregressive moving average (ARIMA) model. The dynamics of the main indicators of macroeconomic stability in the period before and after the start of the full-scale invasion were determined. The impact of economic crises caused by exogenous factors on indicators of macroeconomic stability was evaluated, the degree of their volatility was analyzed, which made it possible to adjust the obtained results and obtain forecast indicators (a decrease in GDP for a period of 5 years.

The task of finding organizational reserves to increase the efficiency of business processes of logistics companies by optimizing the movement of material flows is considered. The focus on organizational reserves, the implementation of which requires the involvement of minimal investments compared to other types of reserves, considering the limited access to sources of financial resources in the conditions of martial law, is rational. At the level of individual logistics companies, one of the areas of implementation of organizational reserves is solving the problem of optimal placement of logistics centers, which creates prerequisites for increasing the efficiency of business processes. Methodical aspects of forming a network of transit terminals of a logistics company are considered. A feature of the proposed approach is the use of an iterative procedure, which allows considering a significant number of network construction options and selecting the optimal one based on the criterion of minimizing the total cost of cargo transportation. The minimization of transport costs is ensured by an effective combination of clustering methods, that ensure the optimal distribution of the network of cargo-sending branches into groups, and methods of determining the optimal location of the transit terminal for the serviced group of cargo-sending branches. Among the methods of clustering in the context of the considered problem, it is especially possible to highlight the methods of hard clustering, namely the K-means method, the K-median method, the method of mean shift, methods of hierarchical clustering, etc. Methods for determining the optimal location of a transit terminal for a group of cargo-shipping departments include the Euclidean distance method, the method of the center of gravity of cargo flows, and others.

The main directions of influence of public-private partnership on the development of the national economy are highlighted. The role of the State in ensuring reliable functioning of infrastructure facilities is substantiated. The directions of using the forms of public-private partnership in foreign countries are revealed. It is substantiated that in the face of significant restrictions, the state has a leading role in the restoration of the national economy. It is established that public-private partnership is one of the main forms of socio-economic cooperation in the format of interaction between the state and private capital, which brings Ukraine closer to international standards, promotes the formation of social orientation of the economy and responsible governance in the context of ensuring sustainable development of the country. The foreign experience of implementing public-private partnership projects is systematized. Based on the study of foreign experience, the untapped potential of public-private partnership in Ukraine is identified. The main potential reasons for the unsuccessful implementation of projects based on the principles of public-private partnership are identified. The manifestations of problematic aspects of interaction between the state and private capital are outlined It is established that when considering projects, governmental institutions should analyze potential measures designed to contribute to the most effective achievement of the defined goals in the process of implementing public-private partnerships. It is found that the implementation of many programs can be carried out only if the efforts of public institutions are combined with the potential and capabilities of private capital entities. The author proposes directions for intensifying the development of public-private partnership.

The potential risks associated with the implementation of a smart city development project, utilizing integrated digital technologies and data processing, are analyzed in the article. The main problematic aspects identified include technical difficulties, cybersecurity issues, legislative instability in the field of smart technologies, and insufficient integration between different systems and platforms. The reliability of smart city systems in emergencies is also discussed in the article, where serious consequences for citizens and city infrastructure could result from inadequate response. Additionally, challenges related to the dependence of smart cities on information technologies are highlighted, addressing potential network bandwidth limitations and the need for solutions to ensure the efficiency and availability of services. Ethical aspects are recognized as an important factor in the development and implementation of smart cities, particularly in establishing ethical standards for data usage and interaction with the public. The concept of a smart city index to assess the level of intelligence and resilience of cities in Ukraine is proposed in the article. It is comprised of two evaluation stages: digitization and conceptualization. The second stage measures citizens' quality of life, relations with authorities, environmental impact, and the city's role in the global city system. The analysis of recent publications in the field of smart technologies is also incorporated in the article, unresolved issues are identified, and the need for further research and legislative improvement is emphasized. The complexity of tasks related to the implementation of the smart city concept is highlighted, and the necessity of a systematic risk management approach to ensure sustainable and secure urban development is underscored.

The purpose of the article is systematization of types and analysis of features of competitive advantages sources at cement industry enterprises. The result is the formation of measures to strengthen the competitive advantages of enterprises in this industry. Types of competitive advantages are distinguished using methods of analysis and synthesis based on M. Porter's basic competition strategies: diversification strategy involves the development of unique product quality as a competitive advantage, cost leadership strategy - low costs for its production and sales. Sources of competitive advantages of cement industry enterprises are considered using the modeling method, based on M. Porter's value creation chain, in which all activities of enterprises in the industry are divided into primary and support activities. As a result of the technical-technological, statistical analysis of the experience in the cement industry of Ukraine and other countries of the world, it was established that the most significant sources of creating competitive advantages in the industry are research and development, inbound and outbound logistics, production, marketing and sales, service, material and technical supply. Greening of the primary and support activities is defined as an important additional source of competitive advantages of cement manufacturers. As a result of the analysis of the primary and support activities of cement manufacturers, measures to strengthen the competitive advantages of enterprises in this industry were summarized. The main ones are: cooperation with clients and research institutions to regulate the construction and technical properties of cement; territorial location of production close to sources of raw materials, transport junctions or main buyers; production using the dry method of production, absorption of small and medium-sized producers, product packaging; organization of 24-hour self-service warehouses, establishment of a dealer network; consulting construction companies; use of industrial waste instead of traditional raw materials and fuel, use of energy-efficient equipment for grinding raw materials.
REINTEGRATION AND SOCIAL INCLUSION OF VETERANS AS A FACTOR OF HUMAN CAPITAL RECONSTRUCTION UNDER THE MACROECONOMIC INSTABILITY
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Krasota O.V.
Published: January 2024

The article emphasizes the growing attention of the scientific community, state authorities and administration to the processes of reintegration and social inclusion of war veterans in all spheres of public life. It is emphasized that these processes of reintegration and social inclusion of war veterans are important for the reproduction of national human capital and macroeconomic stabilization of the Ukrainian economy. The structure of war veterans is considered and the share of different categories of war veterans from their total number is determined. It is summarized that a significant part of them may feel social isolation from society and expands the number of exclusive members of society. Groups of war veterans problems are classified in this article, namely: firstly – problems of deterioration of their physical and/or mental health; secondly – employment problems; thirdly – problems of their socialization. The expansion of the range of war veteran’s problems under the full-scale war and macroeconomic instability emphasizes the urgency of creating appropriate conditions for their socio-psychological, economic reintegration and social inclusion in civilian life. In this article, reintegration is considered as a process of adjustment, adaptation of war veterans to civilian life, and social inclusion is defined as a process of involving war veterans in all spheres of public life (economic, social, political, civil). It is proposed to use a comprehensive approach to the processes of reintegration and social inclusion of war veterans. It was found that at the microeconomic level, veterans' families, as well as territorial communities, play an important role in the adaptation and inclusion of war veterans into civilian life, while at the macroeconomic level, this role is assigned to the state and its main institutions. It is proposed to use the progressive experience of countries that have previously participated in military conflicts and have time-tested and effective tools of socio-economic and physical-psychological support for war participants and war veterans.
