Authors: TAN Shern Meng-
Published: December 2024

Although skill analysis is important for physical education (PE) teachers, its training is underemphasized by the physical education teacher education (PETE) programs in Singapore. This study aims to examine the perceived effectiveness of the skill analysis training program, and ten pre-service PE student teachers who completed the skill analysis training program were interviewed. Data was analyzed using a thematic approach and six themes within the sub-categories of strengths, weaknesses, and suggestions to the skill analysis training program emerged: (1) Videos of correct skill performances facilitated participants' learning, (2) Learning activities enabled participants to analyze skills, (3) Checklists alone do not enable skill analysis, (4) Lack of opportunities for real-time skill analysis, (5) Combine learning activities 1 and 2, and (6) Provide opportunities for real-time skill analysis. Specifically, future skill analysis training programs should be instructor-led as pre-service PE teachers need guidance, participants should be provided with a clear understanding of the skill by providing checklists and correct skill performance videos simultaneously, and existing skill analysis attempts should be technology-aided until further research ascertain the effective transfer from video-based skill analysis to real-time.

Published: December 2024

This study investigates the effects of therapeutic recreational activities on the emotional skills, competence, and life orientations of patients receiving inpatient treatment at Ankara Gülhane Training and Research Hospital. The sample consisted of 313 inpatients, 154 males, and 159 females. Data collection tools included a personal information form, the "Emotional Skills and Competence Scale (ESCQ-45)," and the "Life Orientation Test (LOT)." Statistical analyses used were descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test, ANOVA, LSD post hoc tests, multiple linear regression, and Pearson correlation analyses. Internal consistency coefficients were 0.96 for the ESCQ-45 and 0.92 for the LOT. Results showed high mean scores on the ESCQ-45 (x̄ = 3.81) and low scores on the LOT (x̄ = 2.00), indicating pessimistic life orientations. Participants' therapeutic recreational activity involvement, age, education level, treatment unit, and daily treatment frequency significantly influenced these measurements. There were negative and moderate correlations between emotional skills, competence, and life orientation, with emotional skills and competence being significant predictors of life orientation. Findings suggest that participation in therapeutic recreational activities has a limited impact on emotional skills and life orientation.

The purpose of this research is to examine the fans' levels of respect for opposing views and self-control in sports. Fans over the age of 18 who support Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe and Beşiktaş teams were included in the research. A 5-question information survey and the respect for opposing views and self-control scale in sports developed by Gülle (2018) were administered to fans who wanted to participate in the research. Surveys were collected using Google Forms. The survey link was shared on social media groups where Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe and Beşiktaş fans are active. Since the data showed normal distribution, independent t test was used for double groups and analysis of variance was used for more than two groups. As a result of the research, it was found that there is a significant difference in favor of the hatred towards the opponent of the fans who do not participate in recreational activities and the hatred towards the opponent of the fans who use licensed products. It was found that there was a significant difference in the sub-dimensions of respect for the opponent and hatred towards the opponent according to the educational level of the fans. In our research, it was found that as the educational level increases, respect for the opponent increases, and as the education level decreases, the fans' hatred towards the opponent increases.

Published: December 2024

Increasing the efficiency of the recyclables circulation is a generally recognized necessity in view of the worsening of environmental problems. In this context, marketing plays an important role as an effective stimulus for the transition to a circular economy. The aim of the study is to determine marketing tools capable of influencing the improvement of the efficiency of the recyclables circulation, in accordance with the determined aspects of green growth. The work used the methods of correlation, regression, and statistical analysis, as well as case studies. The conducted research proved the correlation between the waste recycling rate and all dimensions of green growth. These include increasing the efficiency of resource use, protecting natural capital, developing a green economy, and increasing social inclusion. The regression analysis, where the level of waste recycling was the dependent variable, found a statistically significant effect of social inclusion. This gave grounds to propose a list of marketing tools that could be useful for increasing the efficiency of the recyclables circulation for each of the studied aspects of green growth. This can be useful for developing strategies and approaches depending on specific needs. It is appropriate to use marketing tools determined for this specific direction (information campaigns, etc.), in particular, in case of insufficient efficiency of the recyclables circulation caused by a low level of social inclusion.

Tax Avoidance by Public Firms: Unveiling the Overlooked Economic Consequences
Authors: GE Chao , SU Wunhong , WONG Wong Ming
Published: December 2024

The existing literature on tax avoidance of listed firms is rich in research results. Moreover, many tax avoidance studies are closely related to research themes. Still, there are large differences in conclusions and a lack of systematic exploration of their findings and the theoretical mechanisms behind them. In particular, the U.S. and China are rich in research on tax avoidance, and many issues of tax avoidance are viewed differently. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out a systematic review to clarify further the theoretical ideas on the influencing factors and economic consequences of tax avoidance.
This study conducts a statistical analysis of 172 empirical studies examining the factors influencing corporate tax avoidance and its economic consequences, including 97 studies on influencing factors and 75 on economic outcomes. Given the close interrelation between these factors and economic consequences, this paper systematically reviews the economic consequences of tax avoidance, building on the research of influencing factors. This approach aims to provide readers with a more comprehensive understanding of the determinants and economic implications of tax avoidance under agency theory.
Similar topics are categorized and organized, and related studies’ theories and conclusions are summarized to facilitate a systematic understanding of the progress of tax avoidance research.
The literature related to this study was obtained by searching for a summary of the recent empirical literature on the factors influencing firm tax avoidance and economic consequences on ScienceDirect, EBSCO, SSRN, Zhiwang, and Baidu Academic. The study is divided into the possible risks arising from tax avoidance, which are discussed mainly from the perspective of tax agency theory, tax risk, accounting information risk, reputation risk, and financial risk.
Tax avoidance is an important and complex issue related to the quality development of firms and the coordination of the interests of various parties, such as the government, shareholders, and managers. This study finds that conclusions based on different systems, perspectives, study designs, and samples may not lead to the same conclusions. This study is dedicated to systematizing the literature on tax avoidance, understanding the various research perspectives, and comparing them. This study contributes to a systematic understanding of the content and perspectives of tax avoidance research. In addition, it provides direction for further work on high-quality firm tax avoidance in the future.

Does Digital Financial Literacy Matter for Current and Future Saving Behavior among Rural SME Entrepreneurs? Government Regulations Awareness as a Moderator
Authors: MUTYA Tomasi , M. Ilankadhir
Published: December 2024

Digital financial literacy (DFL) is a game changer in a digital environment. This study examines the impact of DFL on saving behavior among rural small and medium enterprise (SME) entrepreneurs in a developing country. It also explores the effect of government regulations awareness on the association between current and future saving behavior. The study examined rural SME entrepreneurs in Uganda who engaged in financial transactions through mobile phones and retail financial agents. The study employed purposive and snowball sampling procedures to identify rural SME entrepreneurs. Data from 215 rural SMEs entrepreneurs was obtained and analyzed using structural equation modelling and Hayes PROCESS macro. The results indicated that knowledge of digital financial services and products, digital financial risks and control, and consumer rights and reporting procedures significantly impact SME entrepreneurs’ current saving behavior. The current saving behavior has a significant positive impact on future saving foresight. Government regulations awareness significantly impacts the indirect path of DFL on future saving foresight via current saving. This study provides insights for academicians, policymakers, owners of rural SMEs, policymakers, and financial institutions’ top and middle-level managers interested in improving the financial situation of rural SMEs in developing countries. The originality of this study is established in rural SMEs entrepreneurs' awareness of government regulations in a digital environment that moderates the association between current and future saving behavior with DFL as a primary construct.

Authors: XHOXHI Olsi , DEDE Grigor , SINAJ Zamira
Published: December 2024

This paper estimates the determinants of bank profitability in Albania with respect to return on equity. This study will employ annual reports from eleven banks in Albania covering the period 2014 to 2023, supplemented by extra sources from the Albanian Association of Banks and the Bank of Albania. Data analyzed at a great level of detail using Python. It evaluates an integrated conceptual framework of the influence of financial metrics, institutional infrastructure, and customer service channels on RoE. An XGBoost regression model is applied to predict RoE since this algorithm has advanced ensemble learning capabilities in refining predictions by iterative error corrections. The model is fine-tuned for Mean Squared Error minimization and performs very well on the training data, as evidenced by an R² score of 0.9999. The model slightly overfits, as can be indicated by the lower performance metrics on test data: MSE of 31.8768 and an R² score of 0.6024. Concretely, number of outlets, investments in securities, and debit card issuance are the variables most influencing RoE, as can be inferred from the importance analysis. This paper contributes to the literature with useful insights into financial performance and operational dynamics in Albanian banks, evidencing variables that play a significant role in profitability and, therefore, supply scope for further research and model improvement.
A Study on Socio-Demographic Determinants of Digital Financial Literacy in India
Authors: PATTNAYAK Nirmala Chandra , SAHOO Rashmita
Published: December 2024

Digital financial literacy has emerged as a key driver for fostering financial inclusion in India. As India has been witnessing rapid digitalization of financial services, digital financial literacy has become an imperative because of it’s transformative potential to spread awareness, knowledge and influence user behaviors towards adoption of digital financial services.
The purpose of this study was to investigate relationships between various socio-economic and demographic factors and digital financial literacy variables in both rural and urban areas of India.
The study relied on a mix of quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews from the respondents belonging to urban and rural areas spread across eight districts of India. The primary data collected underwent several statistical analyses, including the Chi-Square Test, Cramer’s V, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis to examine the relationships between socio-demographic factors and digital financial literacy.
The study revealed a strong positive correlation between education, age and income with digital financial literacy, underscoring their substantial impact. In contrast, other socio-demographic factors like occupation and social stratification were found to have lesser influence on the digital financial literacy in view of their weaker correlations. The study revealed that digital financial literacy is gender neutral considering negligible correlation between gender and variables of digital financial literacy. The existence of digital divide between urban and rural areas was evident in the study as the rural population lags in digital financial literacy to their urban counterparts. Regression analysis further validates the predictive significance of age, education, and annual family income on digital financial literacy.
The earlier research studies and available literature emphasize mainly supply side factors of digital financial literacy viz. measures taken by Governments, Regulators and Financial institutions. This study, focusing on demand side factors, put special emphasis on social and demographic variables and their degree of influence on digital financial literacy.
Key findings emerged from the study identify the socio-demographic factors influencing digital financial literacy and offer insights for policy makers to identify gaps in financial education and design targeted strategies based on socio-demographic parameters for broadening digital financial literacy.

Onlara sunulan kavramlar ile ilgili kavram yanılgılarının olmadığı, ancak millî kültür, vatan, bayrak ve edebiyat kavramlarının onlarda çağrıştırdığı kelimelerin hem nicelik olarak az hem de bu kavramlar arası birbirini tekrar eden kelimeler olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Bu bulgular ışığında, öğretmen adaylarının bu kavramlara dair daha derin ve geniş bir bilgi birikimi, donanım ve söz varlığı ile kendilerini daha iyi ifade edebilecekleri şekilde geliştirilmelerinin, yetiştirecekleri öğrencilere ve topluma yapacakları katkı göz önünde bulundurulduğunda önemli olduğu düşünülmektedir. Bu kavramların ve içeriklerinin önemi düşünüldüğünde buna dair çalışmaların programa ve derslere içselleştirilmesi öneri olarak sunulmaktadır.

Authors: Erdil Dinçel Tuğba
Published: December 2024

The current review critically evaluates the concept of adhocism in crisis response architecture. This involves revisiting historical precedents and thoroughly examining case studies and examples to understand their effectiveness and limitations. Analyzing factual cases such as Hurricane Katrina, the Nepal Earthquake, and the COVID-19 pandemic helps the review illustrate the points on which smart strategies are based. Lessons learned encompass sustainability and long-term planning, coordination and communication, resourcefulness and innovation, as well as adaptability and flexibility in crisis response. The review emphasizes integrating crisis-led actions into established procedures to enhance the resilience and adaptability of future crisis solutions. This article questions how adhocracy operates within the crisis response architecture and its role in crisis management. It investigates how adhocism's adaptable approach diverges from the inflexible frameworks of conventional crisis response systems and how it adapts to the complexity and uncertainty of crises. It emphasizes that while traditional models are effective in routine emergencies, they fail to manage complex or evolving crises. Adhocism emerges as a promising, flexible, and resilient approach to tackle such uncertainties. Therefore, this research aims to elucidate how this adaptable strategy functions and to assess its role within the crisis response system.
In conclusion, the article highlights the limitations of traditional approaches and the flexibility of adhocism. It suggests embracing a more flexible, collaborative approach and integrating adhocism into standard practices for a more resilient crisis response system in the future.

1071 yılında gerçekleşen Malazgirt Savaşı yalnızca Türk ve İslâm tarihinin değil, aynı zamanda dünya tarihinin de en önemli olaylarından biridir. Bu savaşla birlikte tarihin akışı değişmiş ve etkileri günümüze kadar devam eden köklü tarihî değişiklikler olmuştur. Öte yandan, Malazgirt Kalesi önlerinde meydana geldiği bilinen savaşın tam olarak nerede gerçekleştiği meçhuldür. 150 kilometrekareden daha geniş bir sahaya yayılan Malazgirt ovasında savaşın gerçekleşmiş olabileceği birçok yer vardır. Söz konusu yerler çeşitli bilim insanları tarafından değerlendirme konusu edilmiş ve savaşın yerine dair fikirler ortaya konulmuştur. Fakat Malazgirt’te meydana gelen muharebenin yeri tartışılırken dile getirilen düşünceler arasında, ovanın coğrafyasını esas alanlar yok denecek kadar azdır. Bunların en ilgi çekicisi, Kurmay Albay Kadri Perk tarafından ortaya konan yaklaşımdır. 1946 senesinde Harp Akademisi’nde eğitim gören subaylarla birlikte Malazgirt çevresinde ayrıntılı bir alan incelemesi yapan Albay Perk, gerçekleştirdiği gözlem ve değerlendirmeleri rapora dönüştürmüştür ve bir kitapçık haline getirmiştir. Uzun yıllar boyunca Türk Tarih Kurumu kütüphanesinde kimsenin dikkatini çekmeden bekleyen bu kitapçık savaşın yerini tarihî kaynak ve yorumları dikkate almadan ele alan ve sahayı tanıyan bir askerin stratejik bakışını yansıtmaktadır. Yazarının sıradışı yaklaşımı, coğrafyayı temel alan yorumları ve savaşı tarif etmeye yönelik çizim ve krokileri ile dikkat çeken metin, henüz layıkıyla değerlendirilmiş değildir. Bu çalışmada, mesleğini tutkuyla yapan bir asker tarafından hazırlanan alan incelemesi eksenli çalışma ele alınacak ve Albay Kadri Perk’in Malazgirt Savaş alanının yerine ilişkin fikir ve yaklaşımları değerlendirilecektir.

Cumhuriyetin ilanıyla kurulan yeni ulusal devletin kendi yurttaşını yetiştirme politikası kapsamındaki “yeni insan” tasarımı dönemin en önemli konularından biridir. Bu politika çerçevesinde Cumhuriyet yönetimi öncelikle yeni ve modern bir ideal çocuk tipi belirler. En temel özelliği; devletine, milletine ve cumhuriyete sıkı sıkıya bağlı bir yurttaşlık olan ideal çocuğun tarihini, Mustafa Kemal’i ve millî mücadeleyi bilmesi ondaki millî şuurun oluşmasında en önemli kriterdir. Söz konusu Cumhuriyet neslinin inşasının hızlı gerçekleşebilmesi için ise vatandaşa ve çocuklara ulaşmada dergi ve gazeteler özellikle de çocuk dergileri araç olarak kullanılır. Bu dergilerden Himaye-i Etfâl Cemiyeti’nin yayın organı olan Gürbüz Türk Çocuğu dergisi, devletin çocuğa verdiği önemi yayımladığı tüm akademik ve edebî metinlerle halka ulaştırmaya çalışır. Bu çalışmada, dergide yayımlanan edebî türler içerisinde ideal çocuk tipini tasvir eden ve bu bağlamda ebeveynleri de yönlendiren şiirleri tespit ederek incelemek, söz konusu ideal çocuğun ve ebeveynin sahip olması gereken özellikleri şiirler vasıtasıyla ortaya koymak amaçlanmıştır. Bu çerçevede derginin Arap harfleriyle yayımlanan ilk yirmi dört sayısında otuz altı şiir belirlenmiş ve bu şiirlerin yirmi üç tanesinin eğitim, on üç tanesinin de milli şuur temalı olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmada incelenen şiirlerin tümüne bakıldığında çocuğun fiziksel, zihinsel, ruhsal ve kültürel anlamda sahip olması gereken tüm özelliklerin sıralandığı görülmüş; buna bağlı olarak şiirlerde temizliğinden giyimine, eğitiminden sağlığına kadar her açıdan bugünün ideal çocuğunun, yarının ise ideal yurttaşı ve ebeveyninin şablonunun çıkartıldığı ortaya konmuştur.
EL-EMİR ES-SAN‘ÂNÎ VE SUBULU’S-SELÂM’DAKİ ŞERH METODU
Authors: Takdemir Abdusselam
Published: December 2024

Hadislerin muhtevasının açıklanması, hükümlerinin ortaya çıkarılması ve belli bir zaman diliminde söylenen bir sözün sonraki asırlara ışık tutacak zenginlikte beyanı önemlidir. İslam dininin ikinci kaynağı olan hadis-i şeriflerin anlatmak istediği mananın anlaşılıp, amel edilmesine ve sonraki nesillere bu minvalde aktarılmasına köprü olan, hadislerin şerhlerini yapan eserler de önemli birer kaynaktır. Bu önemli vazifeyi üstlenen zatlardan birisi de es-San‘ânî (öl. 1182/1768)’dir. Hicrî 12. asırda yaşayan es-San‘ânî, İslâm âleminin çeşitli yerlerinde ilmî araştırmalarda bulunmuştur. Zaman içinde ulaşabildiği kadarıyla İslâm âleminin önde gelen birçok âliminden dersler almıştır. Bu minvalde birçok öğrenci yetiştirmiş ve pek çok eser de kaleme almıştır. Bu eserlerden biri de İbn Hacer (öl. 852/1448)’in “Bulûğu’l-Merâm” isimli eseri üzerine kaleme aldığı Subulu’s-Selâm Şerhu Bulûğu’l-Merâm adlı şerh eseridir. Ağırlıklı olarak şerhini ve şerhinde takip ettiği usûlünü çalışmamızın sınırları içerisinde tanıtacağız. Bu şerh eseri, âlimler tarafından kabul görmüş ve referans olarak kullanılmıştır. Bu şerhin günümüz akademik camia tarafından da tanınmasının faydalı olacağı kanaatindeyiz.
The effect of item pool size and stopping rule on bias and error parameters in computerized adaptive testing
Authors: Doğan Ömer
Published: December 2024

This study aims to examine the effects of item pool size and stopping rules on bias and error parameters in computerized adaptive testing (CAT). Simulated data were generated and analyzed for item pools of 200 and 2000 items, fixed-length and error stopping rules, and eight different combinations of Maximum Likelihood (ML) and Expected a Posteriori (EAP) methods for ability estimation. For each sub-problem, the findings are listed in a general table and a collection of graphs. In the light of the findings, the error and bias parameters obtained with the ML skill estimation method with fixed-length stopping rule in both small and large item pools were found to be lower than the EAP method. Similarly, in both small and large item pools, the error and bias parameters obtained with the ML ability estimation method in which the error stopping rule was applied were found to be lower than the EAP method. While the number of items used in the analyses where the error stopping rule was applied was approximately six in both ability estimation methods for the small item pool, approximately five items were used with the EAP method and approximately 21 items were used with the ML method in the large item pool. The application with the lowest RMSE and bias values and the highest correlation between actual and predicted θ values was the application related to the sixth sub-problem in which a large item pool was used, a fixed-length stopping rule was used, and ability estimation was performed with the ML method. The results of the study provide clues for the development of testing strategies in CAT applications and provide guidance for more effective assessment processes in the field of education.
