The importance of understanding household consumption expenditure in fishing communities, particularly those influenced by local economic dynamics, socio-cultural characteristics, and access to resources. This study aims to identify the factors affecting household consumption expenditure in the fishing community of Ponjalae, Palopo City. The type of research conducted is qualitative descriptive research. The research location was at the Fish Auction Place (TPI) in Palopo City. The selection of informants in this study used purposive sampling technique, which is based on certain criteria. To collect data, the researcher used several methods, including in-depth interviews to gather information about consumption expenditure patterns, participant observation to understand their consumption patterns and social interactions, and documentation in the form of field notes or photos that support the observation results. Data validity was obtained through data triangulation, which involved verifying information gathered from interviews, observations, and document references. The data analysis method used was thematic analysis, which involves data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions, with the aim of providing a clear picture of the factors influencing household consumption expenditure in the fishing community. The results of the study show that the household consumption expenditure of fishermen in Ponjalae is heavily influenced by income fluctuations related to fishing seasons, the number of family members, as well as broader socio-economic factors. Income fluctuations play a decisive role in managing consumption expenditure, while social and cultural factors play an important role in how expenditures are managed.
New Development Bank as Aid Donor to School Education
Authors: Sadykov Rodion , Uchaev Yevgeny
Published: January 2025

Despite initial expectations that the New Development Bank (NDB) would emerge as a significant contributor to education aid, educational projects constitute only 0.3% of the Bank’s portfolio after nine years of operation. Why have the aspirations of the mid-2010s remained largely unrealized? Drawing on primary sources, including official BRICS and NDB documents, speeches by member states’ representatives, and aid statistics, this article traces the evolution of education aid within the NDB’s operational framework. The analysis tests several hypotheses to explain this trajectory, examining BRICS member states’ preferences for educational cooperation, leadership changes within the Bank, the impact of COVID-19, the demand for educational aid among NDB member states, and the division of labor between “old” and “new” multilateral development banks.The findings indicate that the inclusion of education as a secondary focus area in the NDB’s agenda initially exemplified a case of “governing through goals,” as the Bank sought to enhance its reputation by contributing to the broadest possible range of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Subsequent developments, including heightened attention to BRICS educational cooperation at high-level and ministerial meetings, the adverse impact of COVID-19 on global educational progress, and the appointment of Dilma Rousseff as NDB President, further solidified social infrastructure (including education) as a priority on the Bank’s strategic agenda. However, despite increased rhetorical emphasis in declarations and strategic documents, financing for educational projects has not followed suit.This disconnect can be attributed to two primary factors. First, the established division of labor between “old” multilateral development banks (e.g., World Bank, Inter-American Development Bank, Asian Development Bank) and “new” institutions (e.g., NDB, AIIB) has positioned the former to prioritize social sector investments while the latter address deficits in infrastructure financing. Second, NDB member states have shown limited interest in altering this status quo. At the same time, stagnating aid volumes and the increasing politicization of educational aid by traditional donors, coupled with persistent needs to improve education systems in many developing countries, underscore the challenge for BRICS states to develop more effective mechanisms for educational cooperation—both within the bloc and with the broader Global South.

An overview of skin cancer classification based on deep learning
Authors: A. Sadoon Toqa
Published: January 2025

Skin melanoma is one of the most dangerous diseases in the world. Correct classification of skin lesions in the first step can help create clinical judgment by providing an optimal judgment of the disease. As a result, the odds of treating the spread of cancer early may be increased. However, the automatic classification of skin cancer is tough because of the imbalance in most skin cancer images used in training. Several methods based on deep learning have been broadly used recently in skin cancer classification to resolve the problems in classification and attain acceptable outcomes. Nevertheless, reviews containing the aforementioned borderline difficulties in skin melanoma classification are still rare. Thus, this paper presents a summary of the newest deep learning procedures for classifying skin cancer. This paper starts with a discussion of skin cancer types, followed by the presentation of a public dataset available for skin cancer. Subsequently, some pretrained models of CNN used for classification are highlighted. Finally, some opportunities for skin cancer, such as data imbalance and limitation, generative adversarial network, various data sets, and data augmentation, are summarized.
Kompetencje zawodowe współczesnego nauczyciela w kontekście złożoności i niedookreśloności pracy pedagogicznej
Authors: Cęcelek Grażyna
Published: January 2025

Zachodzące we współczesnym świecie w niezwykle szybkim tempie zmiany, nastawione przede wszystkim na budowanie gospodarki opartej na wiedzy, stawiają nowe wymagania przed współczesną szkołą, a tym samym przed nauczycielem, ponieważ determinują potrzebę dopasowania edukacji do dynamiki zachodzących przeobrażeń.
Zauważyć należy jednocześnie, że przestrzeń edukacyjna pełna jest różnych niedopowiedzeń i niedookreśleń, cechuje ją dynamiczna zmienność zdarzeń, co powoduje, że praca zawodowa nauczyciela cechuje się szczególną złożonością, wieloaspektowością, nieprzewidywalnością i niedookreślonością. Dlatego stałą cechą tego zawodu jest konieczność permanentnego poszerzania wiedzy oraz doskonalenia umiejętności i kompetencji nauczycielskich. Z powodu niepowtarzalności sytuacji edukacyjnych, które zachodzą w dynamicznie zmieniającym się świecie, przygotowanie do pracy pedagogicznej nie może być uznane za proces skończony, ale musi mieć charakter permanentny i obejmować cały okres pracy zawodowej.

CORPORATE CULTURE MODEL SEBAGAI ALASAN PENGHAPUS PIDANA KORPORASI: EVALUASI TERHADAP KODIFIKASI HUKUM PIDANA NASIONAL
Authors: Brouwer Darryl Evan
Published: January 2025

Act Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code (National Criminal Code) has accommodated corporations as perpetrators of criminal acts as well as natural humans. With distinct characteristic to natural humans, the attribution of corporate criminal responsibility to corporations is also distinct to natural humans. The National Criminal Code stipulates the attribution of corporate blameworthiness, one of which is the corporate culture model theory, but not explicitly as a reason for corporate’s legal defenses. It is distinct to the Australian Criminal Code Act 1995 which strictly stipulates the corporate culture model as a corporate’ legal defense. This article aims to analyze the corporate culture model theory in corporate criminal law theory to be used as a corporate’s legal defense. This article is a doctrinal legal research through literature study with the statutory approach, conceptual approach and comparative approach. The research prescribes that the corporate culture model should be explicitly stipulated as corporate’s legal defense in the National Criminal Code in order to provide theoretical legitimation for the corporate punishment

AbstractThe principle of legality is the main element in a state of law, where every government action must be based on applicable laws and regulations to prevent abuse of authority. The principle of legality is elaborated in the Indonesian constitution through Article 1 paragraph 3 of the 1945 Constitution, emphasizing that Indonesia is a state of law that prioritizes the rule of law. Legislation plays an important role in creating justice, legal certainty, and benefits for the community This research analyzes the principle of clarity of formulation, whether the phrase has the binding legal force of laws and regulations contained in Article 8 paragraph (2) if it is related to Article 87 of Law Number 12 of 2011 concerning the Formation of Legislation is appropriate and does not cause ambiguity. This research uses normative juridical method with statutory, conceptual, and analytical approaches, focusing on Article 8 paragraph (2) and Article 87 of Law Number 12/2011 on the Formation of Legislation. The author finds inconsistencies between these Articles regarding the legal force of regulations. The Stufenbau des Recht theory is applied to understand the hierarchy of legal norms, where lower norms derive from higher norms. The main recommendation of the research is to improve the formulation in Article 8 paragraph (2) to avoid ambiguity regarding the legal force of laws and regulations.AbstrakAsas legalitas sebagai elemen utama dalam negara hukum, di mana setiap tindakan pemerintah harus didasarkan pada peraturan perundang-undangan yang berlaku untuk mencegah penyalahgunaan wewenang.

Published: January 2025

The solid electrolyte interphase that forms on Li6PS5Cl argyrodite solid electrolytes has been reported to continually grow through a diffusion-controlled process, yet this process is not fully understood. Here, we use a combination of electrochemical and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy techniques to elucidate the role of phosphorus in this growth mechanism. We uncover how Li6PS5Cl can decompose at a potential well above the full reduction to Li3P, forming partially lithiated phosphorus species LixP. We provide evidence of a gradient of LixP species throughout the SEI thickness, leading to a diffusion-limited growth. We predict continuous SEI growth as long as lithium metal is present.

Microglia, the innate immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS), act as first responders in the context of brain injury or neurodegeneration. Their ability to switch between different neuroprotective and neurotoxic phenotypes, plays a central role in maintaining brain homeostasis. Recently, the P2Y12 receptor (P2Y12R) has been identified as a promising molecular biomarker for microglia, as its expression level is directly dependent on microglia phenotype and function. A decline in P2Y12R expression is indicative of damage, microglial malfunction or chronic neuroinflammation, as observed in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Novel therapeutic strategies aiming to modulate microglia phenotypes directly depend on matching diagnostic tools for success control. Accordingly, a suitable P2Y12R positron emission tomography (PET) tracer is hypothesised to provide valuable in vivo information regarding microglia activation within the CNS. However, P2Y12R PET tracers with sufficient brain retention for neuroimaging have not been reported so far. Herein, we report the first brain-permeable P2Y12R PET tracer for in vivo imaging of P2Y12R-positive microglia. Nicotinate [18F]12 exhibited nanomolar affinity for the target receptor and favourable in silico parameters. Tracer specificity was proven by in vitro autoradiography (ARG) and brain uptake was confirmed by PET imaging in wild-type (WT) mice and ex vivo biodistribution. Ex vivo metabolite analysis indicated the exclusive presence of intact tracer in the mouse brain, with no evidence of any radio-metabolites. The tracer showed a reduced uptake in microglia-depleted mice after PLX-5622 diet, in comparison to WT and Trem2 knock-out (Trem2-/-) mice. Ex vivo immunohistochemistry (IHC) results and PET data revealed a strong correlation between microglia, P2Y12R expression levels and tracer uptake giving strong evidence that P2Y12 PET signal reflects P2Y12R binding. This novel tracer represents an important step forward in P2Y12 PET imaging in the context of neuroinflammation.
Machine Learning-Driven Optimization of Output Force in Photo-Actuated Organic Crystals

Published: January 2025

Photo-actuated organic crystals, which can be remotely controlled by light, are gaining attention as next-generation actuator materials. In the practical application of actuator materials, not only the mode of deformation but also the output force is an important property. Since the output force depends on both the crystal properties and experimental conditions, it is necessary to explore the optimal conditions from a vast parameter space. In this study, we employed two types of machine learning for molecular design and experimental optimization, successfully maximizing the blocking force. Machine learning in molecular design led to the creation of a material pool of salicylideneamine derivatives. Bayesian optimization was used for efficient sampling from the material pool for force measurements, achieving a maximum blocking force of 37.0 mN. It was estimated that this method was at least 73 times more efficient than the grid search approach.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) hold great promise for drug delivery applications due to their large tuna-ble porosity and structural flexibility, which facilitate designs with high drug-loading capacities and biocom-patibility. Despite these advantages, controlling off-target, uncontrolled drug release remains challenging. This study develops a magnetic field-responsive magnetic nanocomposite based on MOFs to enable spatio-temporal controlled drug delivery. The design features a superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle core and a nanometric zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) shell, loaded with cresyl violet as a fluorescent probe and stabilized with a fluorescein-labelled amphiphilic polymer. The nanocomposites demonstrate biocom-patibility up to 1 pM with MiaPaCa-2 cancer cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) and preferentially accumulate in endolysosomes. Exposure to high-frequency alternating or low-frequency rotating magnetic fields significantly increases the release of cresyl violet into the cytosol of MiaPaca-2 and CAF cells. This release —whether thermal or mechanical— reduces the viability of cells in 2D culture and the size of 3D spheroids composed of MiaPaCa2 and CAF cells, illustrating precise spatiotemporal control over the drug delivery process. The proposed MOF-based magnetic nanocomposites represent promising platforms for developing magnetic field-responsive drug delivery systems.

Published: January 2025

This study focuses on the formulation and characterisation of Capecitabine muco-adhesive beads for the treatment of colorectal cancer. The alginate beads were synthesised using the ionotropic external gelation technique. To maximise encapsulation efficiency and control the release of Capecitabine from the alginate beads, precise formulation conditions were implemented. Results from in vitro dissolution studies revealed that formulations incorporating increasing concentrations of sodium alginate with SCMC released the drug more rapidly compared to those formulated with sodium alginate and HPMC. Moreover, beads prepared using a 2% w/v aluminum chloride solution as the gelling agent demonstrated greater rigidity compared to those formed with a 2% w/v calcium chloride solution. This highlights the importance of selecting an appropriate gelling agent to optimise bead structure and functionality. Further research is necessary to develop the most effective formulations of Capecitabine for improved therapeutic outcomes in colorectal cancer treatment.
Formulation and evaluation of transdermal delivery of beclomethasone dipropionate via ethosomes
Authors: Neelima Vidavaluru , Anudeep P Venkata , Penabaka Venugopalaiah , Chandra Yadala Prapurna
Published: January 2025

This study tested beclomethasone dipropionate for maximal solubility in aqueous buffers to formulate and evaluate beclomethasone dipropionate ethosomes for transdermal delivery. Compared to traditional liposomes, ethosomal systems can deliver greater concentrations of beclomethasone dipropionate via mice's skin at a regulated release rate. Ethosomal formulations had much greater drug flow values (P G.01). This would suggest that ethanol improves the way drugs pass through the layers of the skin. Of all the generated ethosomal formulations, 22.83 ± 0.56 ?g/cm2/h was the most significant drug flow obtained. The release kinetics mechanism was assessed by fitting the permeation data to the zero-order, first-order, and Higuchi diffusion models. A linear link between the quantity of drug released and the square root of time was discovered, and all permeation profiles followed the Higuchi diffusion model. The primary barrier to drug penetration is bypassed when the medication is transported by ethosomes into the stratum corneum, greatly enhancing skin delivery. However, the amount that this function enhances transdermal flux may depend on several variables, including medication release from vesicles in the stratum corneum.
Stream Symbiosis, envisioning a socio-ecological balance between people and urban streams.
Authors:   , Platje Amelia
Published: January 2025

“Rivers, lakes, streams, and springs are the bloodlines of Papatūānuku, the earth mother” (Te Aho, 2019). This view from Mātauranga Māori reflects a deep connection to water that has been disrupted by urbanization and population growth, fragmenting ecosystems and disconnecting youth from their local ecologies. This research examines ways to restore awareness of human impact on nature and reshape our spatial relationships with landscapes.

Wellington’s Whaitua-based water management model restores community-led decision-making, fostering local ownership and stewardship of waterways. This shift offers an opportunity for landscape-based education that builds resilience and a stronger connection to the land.

Using design-led methodologies, this research integrates both Western and Indigenous knowledge to strengthen people’s bond with the landscape. Through community engagement, it aims to build a more tangible relationship with urbanized streams, especially among youth. The Kaiwharawhara catchment, Wellington’s largest stream system and only open estuary, provides an ideal setting for this approach (Zealandia, 2018). Leveraging its unique biodiversity, educational routes will be developed through schools and sites along the stream, creating a cultural and environmental learning corridor.

Educational tools at key sites will foster environmental stewardship, helping youth appreciate the interdependence of flora, fauna, and ecosystems. Design interventions across the catchment will promote stream accessibility and safeguard hydrological and ecological functions for future generations. By drawing on the land’s history as a provider and the Māori practices of sustainable stewardship, this research seeks to revive the mauri (life force) of the landscape, creating a lasting symbiosis between people and land that educates and inspires.
Sociality in the terrestrial epiphytic fern
Platycerium bifurcatum
Authors:   , Cronin Kahurangi
Published: January 2025

Throughout the history of life on Earth, major evolutionary transitions have led to greater levels of complexity and organization. One of the most intricate transitions is the emergence of eusociality, characterized by complex social organizations with overlapping generations, cooperative care of young, and reproductive and non-reproductive castes that drive reproductive division of labour. Eusociality has primarily been studied in animals, evolving independently in several lineages, including insects, crustaceans, and mammals. This complexity has captivated biologists for decades, but research has focused mainly on animal models, leaving unexplored the potential for analogous social tendencies in plants. In this thesis, we investigated whether the tropical epiphytic fern Platycerium bifurcatum exhibits traits traditionally associated with sociality. In Chapter 2, we examined how the arboreal environment affects asexual recruitment in staghorn ferns on Lord Howe Island, comparing fecundity and colony size between arboreal and terrestrial colonies. Glasshouse data were also compared to field results. Our findings showed that the arboreal environment favoured asexual recruitment, while terrestrial colonies grew solitarily. Chapter 3 focused on non-reproductive division of labour, specifically nest frond specialization. We found that nest fronds produced by different individuals in P. bifurcatum colonies specialize in specific tasks. Fronds at the colony apex captured nutrients through enlarged, highly lobed structures, while those in lower sections specialized in water storage and were small and circular. Additionally, apex fronds protected the colony from foreign seedlings. In Chapter 4, we conducted a reciprocal transplantation experiment to further investigate the impact of terrestrial versus epiphytic growth on differences in reproduction, frond production, longevity, and morphology. Staghorn ferns do not naturally grow in terrestrial soil, but in commercial settings, they do. Our results indicated that artificial terrestrial conditions led to greater frond production, survivorship, and larger fronds for both leaf types. However, reproductive mode was strongly influenced by habitat: arboreal habitats favoured asexual reproduction, while terrestrial plants sporulated more successfully during the experiment. Overall results indicate that, P. bifurcatum displays high degrees of specialization among individuals within colonies of various sizes. However, whether these plants meet all criteria to be considered eusocial remains unclear. This research opens new avenues for understanding social structures in plant species and their adaptations to different environments

Hal tersebut berlaku bagi Dinas Perumahan Rakyat dan Kawasan Permukiman serta Pertanahan Kota Surabaya yang saat ini telah mengembangkan inovasi pelayanan dalam bentuk platform E-Rusun. Platform atau aplikasi berbasis teknologi ini, dirancang berdasarkan pada kebutuhan pemerintah daerah untuk meningkatkan kualitas pelayanan publik. Salah satu pelayanan publik yang menjadi ketugasan DPRKPP adalah pengelolaan rumah susun dengan segala kompleksitas yang dihadapi khususnya dalam penatalaksanaan administrasi layanan. Kehadiran platform E-Rusun dimaksudkan supaya masyarakat (user) mendapatkan kemudahan akses layanan tanpa harus melalui layanan offline. Lebih lanjut, dalam konteks peningkatan kualitas layanan, peneliti ingin mempertajam kemanfaatan dan dampak layanan yang sudah diterapkan melalui platform E-Rusun didalam sebuah penelitian dengan fokus pada manajemen inovasi yang dipakai oleh pengembang platform E-Rusun. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan teknik analisis konten. Analisis konten dipakai untuk dapat mempertajam masing-masing substansi yang akan direduksi dan dikompilasi didalam konten analisis. Analisis kemudian dilakukan dengan membangun matrik analisis konten untuk mendapatkan sentimen positif maupun negatif dari tiap-tiap substansi informasi yang didapatkan dari narasumber maupun dari data dukung lainnya. Data dikumpulkan melalui instrumen wawancara, observasi dan dokumentasi. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa Penerapan inovasi aplikasi E-Rusun di DPRKPP Kota Surabaya sudah baik, hal itu terbukti dengan adanya peningkatan kualitas pelayanan pengelolaan rusun di Kota Surabaya yang dilihat dari jumlah layanan terlayani: seperti pendaftaran izin/sewa rusun dan pembayaran rusun lebih cepat dan mudah. Namun demikian, pada analisis juga ditemukan permasalahan teknis seperti: kurang pahamnya masyarakat dalam mengakses aplikasi hal itu dikarenakan minimnya sosialisasi yang diberikan oleh DPRKPP Kota Surabaya. Dengan demikian, rekomendasi yang dapat diberikan oleh peneliti bahwa DPRKPP Kota Surabaya perlu meningkatkan sosialisasi kepada masyarakat terutama penghuni rusun.

GMM ve TODIM Yöntemlerinin Makroekonomik Değerlendirmelere Entegre Edilmesi: G20 Ülkeleri Üzerine Bir Analiz
Authors: Örtlek Zekiye , Kılıçarslan Abdullah
Published: January 2025

Bu çalışmada, temiz teknolojilerin ekonomik etkileri iki farklı açıdan incelenmektedir. Sistem GMM analizi, temiz teknolojinin GSYH üzerindeki doğrudan etkisini ölçerken, TODIM analizi daha geniş bir makroekonomik performans değerlendirmesi sunmaktadır. Bu ikili yaklaşım, konuyu hem spesifik (GSYH odaklı) hem de genel (makroekonomik performans) açıdan ele alarak, temiz teknolojilerin ekonomik etkilerini kapsamlı bir şekilde değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Temiz teknolojilerin yaygınlaşması, yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarına yapılan yatırımların artması, yüksek teknolojili ürünlerin ihracı ve ticari açıklığın artması ekonomik büyüme bağlamında GSYH’nin artışına katkı sağlamaktadır. Nüfus yoğunluğu ve sanayi katma değeri ise büyümenin verimliliğinde etkin rol oynayan kritik faktörler arasında yer almaktadır. Çalışmanın bulguları, temiz teknolojilerin kullanımının yaygınlaştırılmasıyla fosil yakıt tüketiminin azaldığını ve enerji maliyetlerinin minimize edildiğini göstermektedir. Daha düşük enerji maliyetleri ile üretim maliyetlerinin azalması, ekonomik verimliliğin artmasına ve dolayısıyla GSYH'nin genel durumu ve büyüme potansiyelinin iyileşmesine katkı sağlamaktadır. Sistem Genelleştirilmiş Momentler Metodu (GMM) kullanılarak yapılan analizler neticesinde, temiz teknolojilerin GSYH üzerinde anlamlı ve önemli etkileri olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Ayrıca, Çok Kriterli Karar Verme (ÇKKV) yöntemlerinden Normalize Edilmiş Maksimum Değerler (NMD) tabanlı TODIM yöntemi kullanılarak yapılan değerlendirmeler, temiz teknolojilerin ekonomik performans üzerindeki olumlu etkilerini desteklemektedir. Bu sonuçlar, temiz teknolojilerin ekonomik büyüme ile arasındaki dengeyi sağlama potansiyeline işaret etmektedir.
Kurumsal Yönetim Notlarının Finansal Performans Üzerindeki Etkisi: Borsa İstanbul'da Yer Alan Firmalar Üzerine Bir İnceleme
Authors: Tunçel Mert Baran

Bu çalışma, Borsa İstanbul’da işlem gören firmaların kurumsal yönetim notları ile finansal performansları arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmanın örneklem dönemi 2010-2022 yıllarını kapsamaktadır. İlk olarak, firmaların finansal performans skorları MOORA yöntemi ile hesaplanmış ve panel veri analizine uygun hale getirilmiştir. Sonrasında, ön değerlendirme testleri (birim kök testi, homojenlik testi ve yatay kesit bağımlılığı testi) uygulanmıştır. Test sonuçlarına dayanarak değişkenler arasındaki nedensellik ilişkisi Kónya panel nedensellik testi ile analiz edilmiştir. Hem firma bazlı sonuçlar hem de panelin geneli temel alındığında, Kónya (2006) panel nedensellik testi sonuçlarına göre, firmaların kurumsal yönetim notlarndanı finansal performanslarına doğru belirgin bir nedensellik ilişkisi tespit edilememiştir. Analiz sonuçlarında değişkenler arasında bir ilişki bulunmaması, farklı sektörlerdeki firmaların farklı bakış açılarına sahip olabileceğini ve ekonomik, kültürel ve demografik farklılıkların bu sonuçları etkileyebileceğini düşündürebilir.
Türkiye’nin Tekstil ve Hazır Giyim Sektörü İhracatında Rakip Ülke Etkilerinin Ampirik Analizi
Authors: Özbaş Hakkı
Published: January 2025

Tekstil ve hazır giyim sektörü düşük sermaye ihtiyacı ve yüksek düzeyde bir teknolojiye ihtiyaç duymaması ve emek yoğun bir sektör olma özelliği taşımaktadır. Bundan dolayı geçmişte olduğu gibi günümüzde de iki sektör ülkelerin sanayileşme hamlelerinde önem arz etmektedir. Yapılan bu çalışma ile Türkiye’nin tekstil ve hazır giyim sektöründe mevcut rakiplerinin etkileri incelenmiştir. Bu kapsamda Türkiye’nin rakibi konumundaki tekstil sektöründe en büyük 5 ihracatçı ülkenin (Çin, Hindistan, Almanya, ABD ve İtalya) ve hazır giyim sektöründe en büyük 5 ihracatçı ülkenin (Çin, Bangladeş, Vietnam, Almanya ve İtalya) ihracat hacimlerinin Türkiye’nin ihracat hacmi olan ilişkisi ARDL sınır testi yöntemi ile incelenmiştir. Tekstil ve hazır giyim ihracatı açısından iki farklı model kurulmuş, ilgili modellerde değişkenler arasında uzun dönemli geçerli bir ilişki olduğu sonucuna erişilmiştir. 2005-2022 yıllarını kapsayan dönem için yapılan bu çalışmada elde edilen bulgulara göre Çin, Almanya ve İtalya’nın tekstil sektörü ihracat hacimlerinin Türkiye’nin tekstil sektörü ihracatını sırasıyla 0,70, 0,534 ve 0,44 oranında pozitif yönde etkilediği, Hindistan ve ABD’nin 5% anlamlılık düzeyinde etkisinin olmadığı görülmüştür. Hazır giyim sektöründe ise Çin ve İtalya’nın sırasıyla 0,234 ve 0,899 oranında pozitif, Almanya ve Vietnam’ın sırasıyla 0,386 ve 0,26 oranında negatif etkilediği ve Bangladeş’in ihracat hacminin 5% anlamlılık düzeyinde etkisinin olmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
Impact of the use of azole fungicides, other than as human medicines, on the development of azole‐resistant Aspergillus spp.

Abstract
The use of azoles in the European Union and European Economic Area (EU/EEA) other than as human medicines has raised concerns about emergence and spread of azole‐resistant Aspergillus species. EU agencies, with the support of JRC, reviewed the evidence and provided conclusions and recommendations on this topic. Although incomplete, data from 2010 to 2021 showed that around 120,000 tonnes of azoles were sold in EU/EEA for uses other than as human medicines. The majority are used as plant protection products (119,000 tonnes), with a stable temporal trend. Evidence supported a link between environmental azole exposure and cross‐resistance selection to medical azoles in Aspergillus species (primarily shown for A. fumigatus). Prevalence of azole‐resistant A. fumigatus in human A. fumigatus infections ranges from 0.7% to 63.6% among different disease presentations and geographic regions; mortality rates range from 36% to 100% for invasive aspergillosis (IA). It was concluded that azole usage outside the human domain is likely or very likely to contribute to selection of azole‐resistant A. fumigatus isolates that could cause severe disease like IA. Environmental hotspots for resistance selection were identified, including stockpiling of agricultural waste and their possible use as soil amendment/fertiliser for certain agricultural crops (for plant protection products) and freshly cut wood (for biocides). Recommendations were formulated on measures to prevent and control selection of azole resistance in A. fumigatus, including implementation of good agricultural/horticultural practices, proper agricultural and wood waste storage and management, and on approval of new azole fungicides or renewal of existing fungicides. Recommendations on topics to be covered by studies provided when submitting applications for the approval of azole fungicides were listed. For the evaluation of such studies within the approval procedure, a preliminary framework for risk assessment was developed and should be further refined. Data gaps and uncertainties were identified, alongside with respective recommendations to address them.
