Authors: UÇAR Fuat , KAYA Fırat
Published: January 2021

Türkiye’de sendikal hareketler dönemsel farklılıklar göstermiştir. Cumhuriyet öncesinden devralınan sendikal mirasın zayıf olmasının en önemli nedeni Osmanlı Devleti’nin Batı’da olduğu gibi Sanayi Devrimi’ne giden tarihsel ve sosyolojik bir süreci geçirmemiş olmasıdır. Cumhuriyet döneminde sendikal gelişmeler açısından olumlu ilerlemeler kaydedilirken bazı dönemlerde ise çeşitli olumsuzluklar görülmüştür. Türkiye’de 1961 Anayasası ile demokratik açıdan daha özgürlükçü bir dönemin ortaya çıkması sendikal hareketleri de olumlu bir yönde etkilemiştir. Türkiye Öğretmenler Sendikası da 1961 Anayasası’nın getirdiği bu özgürlük ortamında kurulmuş ve Türkiye’nin sendikal hareketler tarihinde önemli bir yere sahip olmuştur. Türkiye Öğretmenler Sendikası, sadece mesleki bir kuruluş olmamış aynı zamanda sosyal bir kuruluş olarak kendini tanımlamış ve toplumu yakından ilgilendiren konularda da faaliyetlerini yürütmüştür. Bu bağlamda Türkiye Öğretmenler Sendikası eğitim ve ekonomi alanlarındaki sorunların yanında toplumsal sorunlar ve dış etkiler üzerinde de çeşitli söylemler geliştirmiştir. Sendika, eğitim sorunu konusunda gerek söylem gerekse eylem yoluyla Türkiye’de eğitim alanında önemli etkiler yaratmıştır. Türkiye Öğretmenler Sendikası söylem ve eylemlerinde ideolojik tutumunu açıkça ortaya koymaktan çekinmemiştir. Mesleki bir kuruluş olarak amaçlarını gerçekleştirmek için iktidarlara yönelik siyasal ve toplumsal olarak demokratik baskı mekanizmasını da kullanmıştır. Bu çalışmada Türk demokrasisi ve sendikal hareketleri açısından önemli bir yere sahip olan Türkiye Öğretmenler Sendikası’nın hangi süreçlerden geçtiği ele alınmış; devamında Türkiye Öğretmenler Sendikası’nın amaçları, kuruluşu, faaliyetleri ve görüşleri irdelenerek eğitim alanında nasıl bir etki yarattığı ve bu etkiyi hangi yollarla sağladığı değerlendirilmiştir.

Published: January 2021

The study was conducted to investigate the effects of K-pop (Korean Pop) fanship on young people in Turkey. Turkish youth compare Korean culture and music to their own culture. Domestic relations, gender perception, pressures against women, exist in both Turkish culture and Korean culture. This sense of closeness has also affected the passion for music. In Turkey, where traditional values are of great importance in the community, the revealed fact of high level of fanship for K-Pop music can be considered as an important contribution of the current study to the relevant scientific field. In this study, 287 young people who filled out interview forms with semi-structured questions via electronic channels, participated in the research. Developed by Reysen & Branscombe (2010) "Fanship Scale" was used. During the analysis phase, we firstly examined whether the data set met the basic criteria required for parametric tests. As the family income level increases, the desire to be emotionally connected to K-Pop music, to identify oneself with music and to be friends with those who are also fans increase respectively. It is also observed that the mean ranks of the Fanship Scale of the participants who are 20 years old and younger are found to be higher than the other participants. It was observed that as the ages of the participants increased, their scores on the admiration scale decreased. As a result of one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) to determine whether the mean scores of the Fanship Scale of the participants differ according to the K-Pop listening time variable, it has been revealed a significant difference; another significant difference has also been found between the mean scores [F (2-234) =11,246; p<,05] of the Fanship Scale. This difference refers to the fact that those who have listened K-Pop 4-10 years or over have a higher levels of fanship than those who have listened to it less than 1 year.

Model of information deterrence between states based on the theory of reflexive games
Authors:   State University of Telecommunications, Savchenko V. A. , Dzyuba T. M.
Published: January 2021

The article considers the approach to modeling the processes of information counteraction and information deterrence at the state level. The shortcomings of the game-theoretic approach to the development of formalized models of information counteraction are identified. The concept of formalization of interstate information deterrence on the basis of the theory of reflexive management of V. Lefevre is offered. Unlike classical game theory, this approach takes into account the possible irrationality of human (state) behavior in combination with moral-motivational and pragmatic aspects of choice. The adequacy of the proposed model is confirmed by the analysis of examples of information confrontation between Ukraine and Russia in the post-Soviet period.

The analysis of security problems of information exchange between the client and the "Smart Home" system is carried out. The priorities of information protection at the stage of information transfer are determined. The analysis of the proposed new wireless network standard Thread is carried out. Thread uses IPv6 and is built on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard, and its main advantage is security. At the same time, there can be up to 250 devices in the network, which are protected by encryption of the banking system level. But this is not enough to ensure the integrity of information. The use of a new encryption algorithm based on the current encryption algorithm based on the blockchain algorithm is proposed, thanks to the use of dynamically changing nonlinear bijective transformation (S-blocks) allows to avoid significant information security problems. This algorithm is used to ensure confidentiality (security during transmission), integrity (security during storage and modification only for authorized users) and authenticity (authenticity of the message source). And provides reliable information protection.

Wireless microsensor networks, which are used to monitor the physical environment, have become an important area of application for wireless technologies. The key attributes of these new types of network systems are strictly limited computing and energy resources, as well as a special working environment. This article examines aspects of the communication security of these networks. Resource constraints and the specific architecture of sensor networks require individual security mechanisms. Our approach is to classify the types of data that exist in sensor networks and identify potential threats to communication security according to this classification. We offer a communication security scheme, where for each data type we define the appropriate security mechanism. Using this multi-tiered security architecture, where each mechanism has different resource requirements, we provide efficient resource management, which is important for wireless sensor networks.

The thirty healthy and volunteered students were selected as subjects through Physical readiness questionnaire (PAR-Q) having an age of 18-22 years. Subjects were equally divided into two groups as Experimental and Control. The data on cardiorespiratory endurance was collected (before and after the treatment) of each subject of both groups through the Copper test. The treatment of circuit training was given to the experimental group three times a week on alternate days for 12 weeks. During the same period, the control group did not take part in any sort of special training except routine life activities. The data were analyzed by applying the paired sample t-test. The results show that circuit training of 12 weeks significantly improved cardio respiratory endurance in experimental group (p < 0.05) than control group.

Günümüzde bilim merkezleri (BM), bir okul dışı öğrenme ortamı olarak eğitim ve öğretim alanında tamamlayıcı bir yere sahiptir. Bilim ve gerçek dünya arasında bağlantı kurarak ziyaretçilerin bilime olan bakış açısını değiştirmeyi amaçlayan BM’ler hem dünyada hem de ülkemizde giderek daha ilgi çekici hale gelmektedir. Ülkemizde Türkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Araştırma Kurumunun (TÜBİTAK) desteğiyle faaliyete geçen BM’ler Konya Bilim Merkezi, Kocaeli Bilim Merkezi, Kayseri Bilim Merkezi, Bursa Bilim ve Teknoloji Merkezi, Elazığ Bilim Merkezi ve Bilim Üsküdar olmak üzere altı tanedir. Bu çalışmada, söz konusu BM’ler Veri Zarflama Analizi (VZA) ve Linear Programming Technique For Multidimensionel Analysis of Preferences (Çok Boyutlu Tercih Analizi için Doğrusal Programlama Tekniği - LINMAP) yöntemleri ile bütünleşik olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Öncelikle; “kuruluş gideri”, “personel sayısı”, “atölye sayısı” girdileri ve “atölye ziyaretçi sayısı” ve “ziyaretçi sayısı” çıktıları kullanılarak BM’lerin etkinlikleri hesaplanmıştır. Sonrasında, bulunan etkinliklerden yola çıkılarak ikili karşılaştırmalar yapılmış ve dokuz kriterden oluşan LINMAP modeli kurulmuştur. Söz konusu kriterler; “yüzölçüm”, “kuruluş gideri”, “personel sayısı”, “atölye sayısı”, “kalıcı tematik sergi galeri sayısı”, “kalıcı sergi düzeneği sayısı”, “giriş ücreti”, “atölye ziyaretçi sayısı” ve “ziyaretçi sayısı”dır. Son olarak, LINMAP modeli duyarlılık analizi ile farklı koşullar altında incelenerek BM’ler sıralanmış ve sonuçlar yorumlanmıştır. VZA’ya göre en etkin BM Elazığ Bilim Merkezi iken LINMAP’e göre “h” parametresine bağlı olarak değişiklik göstermiştir. Artan “h” değerleri için sırasıyla Kocaeli Bilim Merkezi, Elazığ Bilim Merkezi ve Bilim Üsküdar öne çıkmıştır.
