Effective Routing of Mobile Sink in Wireless Sensor Networks Using Steiner Trees
Authors: Taleb Dr. Anas Abu , Odeh Ammar Odeh Ammar
Published: July 2024

Wireless sensor networks, or W.S.N.s, are an important field of study with a wide range of real-world uses. Real-world applications for W.S.N.s include smart homes, industrial automation, healthcare, agriculture, and environmental monitoring. As W.S.N.s develop and grow more complex, they provide many chances for creative solutions across a range of industries. Because they are unattended, it is necessary to devise ways to enhance their functionality without depleting the sensor nodes' battery life, which is their most precious asset. The unique sink mobility model presented in this study is established on building a minimal Steiner tree from a wireless sensor network that has been installed. The suggested approach derives a movable sink with controlled movement based on the features of Steiner trees. Consequently, fixed nodes will be scheduled and visited in order to save routing overhead and improve network efficiency. Fixed nodes are visited via the mobile sink in the most efficient manner to gather data and send it to the base station by utilizing the features of the Steiner tree. The efficiency of the network was examined while implementing this mobility model, and using the NS-2 simulator, we ran simulations to assess the proposed approach. According to our findings, the suggested method may greatly improve wireless sensor network performance.
Saying the Unsayable: Heidegger on the Being-in-Itself of Beings
Authors: McNeill William ,   The Heidegger Circle
Published: June 2024

This essay examines the way in which the being-in-itself of beings is articulated as an open-ended problem in Heidegger’s remarks in “The Argument against Need.” It then considers how this problem is addressed in Heidegger’s early phenomenological accounts of the being-in-itself of beings from 1927 to 1929, followed by some brief remarks on Introduction to Metaphysics (1935) and “The Origin of the Work of Art” (1936). The essay argues that Heidegger provides a positive interpretation of the being-in-itself of beings that remains fundamentally consistent across his corpus, while undergoing certain shifts of emphasis and articulation. As Heidegger’s phenomenological account develops, the being-in-itself of beings is increasingly thought as the letting be (Seinlassen) of beings, in which beings are released to themselves in the event of unconcealment.
On Need: Mortality and Heidegger’s “Argument” with Science
Authors: Mitchell Andrew J. ,   The Heidegger Circle
Published: June 2024

Heidegger’s text from the 1950s “The Argument against Need” reveals a new twist in his thinking of need; the focus shifts from the relation between being and Dasein, to that of being and the mortal. This move to mortality is prepared in the Black Notebooks volumes of the period (Four Notebooks, ga 99, and Vigiliae, ga 100). In this essay, I trace this shift in Heidegger’s thinking of need from his works of the 1930s to the 1950s. I then turn to the specific context of “The Argument,” i.e., the scientific faith in an independent reality, to show how Heidegger’s thought rebuffs this conception, but also how it informs the dialogic nature of an “argument” with science more broadly, one that no longer seeks its resolution in simple “agreement.”

Authors: Lagerstrom Ian , Neelon Daniel , Wendzel Nena , Lipkowitz Stanley , Moncur Joel T. , Uiterwaal Stella F. , Wells Justin
Published: July 2024

Context.—

The Oncotype DX recurrence score (RS) is a widely used test that provides prognostic information on the likelihood of disease recurrence and predictive information on the benefit of chemotherapy in early-stage, hormone receptor–positive breast cancer. Despite its widespread use, quality assurance of the RS does not receive the same level of scrutiny as other tests, such as human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) immunohistochemistry.

Objective.—

To use modified Magee equations to calculate the Magee score (MS) as a quality check of RS.

Design.—

The MS is an easily accessible prognostic model that uses histopathologic and immunohistochemical criteria. We identified cases where the RS and MS differed by 10 points or more or were in different risk categories. These instances were considered significant discordances. MS was presented along with RS at multidisciplinary tumor boards, and all discrepancies were discussed to determine clinical significance and appropriate next steps.

Results.—

Twenty-five of 155 cases (16.1%) had discrepancies between RS and MS. Of these 25 cases, 3 (12%) had problems with either the RS or the histopathologic interpretation. Among the cases with concordant RS and MS, no RS or interpretive problems were identified.

Conclusions.—

Use of the MS as a quality control check for the RS can help ensure appropriate treatment decisions in breast cancer patients. Pathologists can play a key role in ensuring the quality of molecular-based prognostic scores by using histopathologic models to ensure accurate risk stratification and improve clinical outcomes.

Authors: Unal Serkan
Published: June 2024

Bu makalede 24.09.2021 ve 21.07.2023 döneminde Türkiye’de uygulanmış olan düşük faiz politikasının hisse senedi piyasası üzerindeki etkisi incelenmiştir. Bu dönemde enflasyonun yüksek ve iç talebin canlı oluşu düşük faiz politikasının farklı koşullardaki etkilerini tespit etmek açısından uygun ortam sunmuştur. Araştırmada üç aşamada analiz yapılmıştır. İlk olarak şirketlerin piyasa değerlerine bağlı olarak faiz indirimlerinden ne ölçüde etkilendikleri araştırılmıştır. İkinci aşamada hizmet ve sanayi sektörleri bazında analizler yapılarak bu iki ana sektörün faiz indirimlerine tepkisinin birbirinden ayrışıp ayrışmadığı test edilmiştir. Üçüncü aşamada sektör bazında detaylı analizler yapılarak farklı sektörlerin faiz indirimlerine tepkisi analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçları, faiz oranlarındaki indirimin şirketlerin finansal performansını ve hisse senedi getirilerini önemli ölçüde etkilediğini göstermektedir. Ancak, bu etkilerin şirketlerin piyasa değerine, sektörel özelliklere ve ekonomik koşullara bağlı olarak farklılaştığı görülmüştür. Daha büyük piyasa değerine sahip şirketlerin hisse performansı ve satış büyümesi, küçük şirketlere kıyasla daha yüksek seviyelerde olmasına rağmen büyük ölçekli şirketlerde finansal borç/satışlar oranındaki değişimin de pozitif yönde ayrıştığı görülmektedir. Hizmet sektörü, faiz oranlarındaki düşüşlerden sanayi sektörüne kıyasla daha olumlu etkilenmiştir.

Published: July 2024

Exceptio dilatoria is an exception that states that a lawsuit filed with the Religious Court cannot be granted because it is premature. Until now, exceptio dilatoria is a problem that still often arises in the civil world. As for the consequences of the application of exceptio dilatoria, it is not uncommon for it to be a burdensome decision for one of the aggrieved parties. This study aims to analyze the legal considerations made by the panel of judges in deciding a lawsuit that is considered premature. By attaching several decisions from the lawsuit divorce case that was decided as a premature lawsuit. This study also analyzes the legal consequences of the existence of exceptio dilatoria in the case of contested divorce on the theory of legal justice and the theory of legal certainty. The research method used is normative juridical with case approach method. The results show that exceptio dilatoria is a problem that cannot be avoided as long as there is no legal rule governing it. This can be seen from the inconsistency of judges in applying exceptio dilatoria in cases of contested divorce. So that the considerations made by the panel of judges in applying exceptio dilatoria still cannot meet the standards of justice and legal certainty as formulated by Gustav Radburch.
Exceptio dilatoria adalah suatu eksepsi yang menyatakan bahwa gugatan yang diajukan ke Pengadilan Agama tidak dapat dikabulkan karena prematur. Hingga saat ini, exceptio dilatoria merupakan masalah yang masih sering muncul dalam dunia perdata. Konsekuensi dari penerapan exceptio dilatoria tidak jarang menjadi keputusan yang memberatkan salah satu pihak yang dirugikan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pertimbangan hukum yang dilakukan oleh majelis hakim dalam memutus gugatan yang dianggap prematur. Dengan melampirkan beberapa putusan dari kasus gugatan cerai yang diputus sebagai gugatan prematur. Penelitian ini juga menganalisis akibat hukum dari keberadaan exceptio dilatoria dalam kasus perceraian yang disengketakan berdasarkan teori keadilan hukum dan teori kepastian hukum. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah yuridis normatif dengan metode pendekatan kasus. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa exceptio dilatoria adalah masalah yang tidak dapat dihindari selama belum ada aturan hukum yang mengaturnya. Hal ini dapat dilihat dari inkonsistensi hakim dalam menerapkan exceptio dilatoria dalam kasus perceraian yang disengketakan. Sehingga pertimbangan yang dilakukan oleh majelis hakim dalam menerapkan exceptio dilatoria masih belum dapat memenuhi standar keadilan dan kepastian hukum sebagaimana yang diformulasikan oleh Gustav Radbruch.

Authors: Zikrullah Zikrullah
Published: July 2024

This article aims to analyze the legal certainty regarding the future of Palestinian independence from the perspective of the 1945 Constitution. On the other hand, it also aims to analyze the legal justice concerning the future of Palestinian independence from the same perspective. This article employs qualitative research, conducting a historical study of the Palestine-Israel conflict phenomenon, using a normative approach. It provides legal certainty through the theory of legal norms proposed by Gustav Radbruch, where moral norms can meet the demands of legal reality. Currently, there is no legal certainty for the Palestinian people, resulting in continued occupation and increased casualties. Legal justice for the Palestinian people cannot be felt due to the lack of legal standing, which hinders the realization of justice. The first paragraph of the Preamble to the 1945 Constitution implies that independence is the right of all nations and rejects all forms of colonialism and oppression. Therefore, based on this principle, Palestine must assert its independence, as it has been colonized and oppressed by Israel.
Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kepastian hukum mengenai masa depan kemerdekaan Palestina dari perspektif Konstitusi 1945. Di sisi lain, artikel ini juga bertujuan untuk menganalisis keadilan hukum sehubungan dengan masa depan kemerdekaan Palestina dari perspektif yang sama. Artikel ini menggunakan penelitian kualitatif dengan melakukan studi historis fenomena konflik Palestina-Israel, dengan pendekatan normatif. Artikel ini menyediakan kepastian hukum melalui teori norma hukum yang diajukan oleh Gustav Radbruch, di mana norma moral dapat memenuhi tuntutan realitas hukum. Saat ini, tidak ada kepastian hukum bagi rakyat Palestina, yang mengakibatkan terus berlanjutnya pendudukan dan peningkatan korban. Keadilan hukum bagi rakyat Palestina tidak dapat dirasakan karena kurangnya status hukum, yang menghambat terwujudnya keadilan. Paragraf pertama Pembukaan UUD 1945 menyiratkan bahwa kemerdekaan adalah hak semua bangsa dan menolak segala bentuk kolonialisme dan penindasan. Oleh karena itu, berdasarkan prinsip ini, Palestina harus menegakkan kemerdekaannya, karena telah dijajah dan ditindas oleh Israel.
CHALLENGES IN TRANSLATION OF ENGLISH-VIETNAMESE IDIOMS WITH ANIMAL ELEMENTS AND SUGGESSTED TRANSLATION STRATEGIES
Authors: Hoai Thu Le
Published: July 2024

The translation of idioms poses significant challenges, particularly when cultural nuances and linguistic intricacies are involved. As an important cultural element of every language, idioms related to animals are not only one of the most interesting linguistic phenomena but also of largest concern among language translators regardless of the language pair translated. This paper explores the obstacles encountered in translating English-Vietnamese idioms containing animal elements, and equivalent translation strategies in addressing these hurdles. By examining the cultural, semantic, and syntactic disparities between the source and target languages, this study identifies the complexities inherent in rendering idiomatic expressions accurately. Additionally, the paper delves into four translation strategies, proposed by Baker (1992): (i) Using an idiom of similar meaning and form; (ii) Using an idiom of similar meaning but dissimilar form; (iii) Translating by paraphrase; and (iv) Translating by omission, in overcoming the challenges posed by idiomatic expressions with animal elements. Through a comprehensive analysis of real-world examples in English and Vietnamese idioms, this research provides insights into the complexities of idiomatic translation and offers practical recommendations for translators seeking to improve the accuracy and cultural relevance of translated content.

Authors: Yulistiani Yulistiani , Rana Rana
Published: June 2024

HELLP syndrome is a hemolysis syndrome with microangiopathic blood smears, increased liver enzymes, and low platelets in pregnant and postpartum patients. HELLP syndrome may be a complication or progression of severe preeclampsia. The death rate due to HELLP syndrome is relatively high. The use of corticosteroids is expected to increase platelet counts, reduce LDH values, and reduce liver function parameters to speed up the duration of healing and reduce mortality. Corticosteroids inhibit endothelial activation, reduce vascular endothelial injury, increase hepatic blood flow, prevent thrombotic microvascular hemolysis, and reduce platelet consumption. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of corticosteroids in patients with HELLP syndrome. Method: This research was conducted using a literature review method by searching articles from Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct. Results: Administration of corticosteroids can increase platelet counts, reduce AST/ALT values, and reduce the need for blood product transfusions. Conclusion: Corticosteroids effectively increase platelet counts in patients with HELLP syndrome.

Authors: Seema Seema , Theocharis Andreas , Kassler Andreas
Published: July 2024

This study investigates the temporal and spatio-temporal correlations of solar power generation among different prosumers of Uppsala and Halmstad, Sweden. Using solar power generation data from seven prosumer in Uppsala and five in Halmstad, we evaluate the correlation of solar power production generation at specific locations correlates with itself over different time lags (autocorrelation). In addition, we examine the spatiotemporal correlations of solar power production at various locations over a range of lags using time shifted cross correlation. These spatio-temporal correlations can facilitate the development of synchronized demand response strategies and dynamic energy pricing. Moreover, the timeshifted cross-correlation analysis assists in improving forecasting models for solar power generation. By identifying significant correlations between solar generation data from different locations and applying time shifts to account for variations in weather and sunlight exposure, operators can enhance the accuracy of their predictions. This methodology enables them to fill in missing data points by leveraging correlated information from neighboring regions. Consequently, more robust forecasting models can be developed, leading to better resource allocation, improved energy management, and reduced operational uncertainties in the grid. This research highlights the evaluation and potential of utilizing spatio-temporal and temporal correlations in solar power data to enhance energy management and planning.

The future of education: Importance of ethical frameworks and cultural sensitivity
Authors: Baltezarević Borivoje
Published: July 2024

With the advent of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced platforms such as ChatGPT, we are witnessing profound changes in the educational context that are increasingly becoming the focus of current scientific research and discourse. These technologies have the potential to completely redefine the future of education, introducing the possibility of personalized learning and the adaptation of teaching materials to the specific needs and abilities of each student. It also opens up the possibility of overcoming barriers in education in cases where there is no access to traditional education. However, in order to fully exploit the possibilities of these innovations, it is necessary to improve the level of technical literacy and develop the corresponding skills and competencies. Cultural contexts can significantly influence how students from different backgrounds understand and use AI systems. Existing biases in AI, stemming from predominantly Western-centric datasets, may indirectly promote stereotypes and lead to bias in learning outcomes. The use of artificial intelligence in education opens up a wide range of possibilities for improving the teaching process, but its application requires detailed analysis and consideration of ethical aspects, as well as issues of user security and privacy, as well as checking for bias that may be embedded in (AI) algorithms. A strategy that includes careful adoption and ethical use of artificial intelligence can bring significant progress in training and learning methods, and positively influence the development of educational standards and increase the quality of education. Only through informed and carefully monitored development, based on diversity, cultural sensitivity and equal global opportunities, is there hope for a true evolution of education with the help of new technologies.

Authors: Odhiambo John Davies , Murori Christine Kanana
Published: June 2024

This research examines the influence of utility functions on consumer decisions regarding insurance plans, emphasizing the importance of expected utility theory in making choices amidst uncertainty. Originated by Daniel Bernoulli, this concept plays a crucial role in contemporary economics by guiding individuals towards options that maximize their anticipated satisfaction. Through an examination of deductible options—percentage and straight—this study demonstrates how these decisions impact both the profitability of insurers and the behavior of customers. Utilizing a literature review methodology, the research scrutinizes previous studies to clarify the relationship between utility theory and insurance choices. The results highlight that utility functions offer a numerical structure for assessing personal preferences and tolerance for risk, assisting in the creation of policies that harmonize customer requirements with insurer goals. This holistic approach to comprehending insurance decisions underscores the pivotal function of utility theory in economic evaluations, providing valuable insights into the financial security and welfare of individuals in an unpredictable environment.

يشكل الماء ما يقارب واحد وسبعين بالمئة من سطح كوكب الأرض؛ لذلك تعتبر البحار والمضايق ذات مكانة استراتيجیة في العالم. ومن المعلوم أن الجمهورية اليمنية تتربع على موقع استراتيجي بحري قل له نظير بين دول العالم، بوصفها دولة مشاطئة لأهم مضيق وهو مضيق باب المندب. ومن منطلق تحقيق المصلحة المشتركة بين الدول ومنع ما يهدد الأمن والسلم الدوليين، واتساقًا مع تحقيق المقصد الأوحد لميثاق الأمم المتحدة "حفظ الأمن والسلم الدوليين"، وكون الدول تتصارع فیما بینها دفاعًا عن مصالحها المتعلقة سواء بالخيرات والموارد الطبیعیة التي تزخر بها البحار، أو بالملاحة البحریة التي تتضمن سهولة التنقل والحركة التجاریة، أضف إلى ذلك المنازعات التي يثيرها مرور السفن في المضايق البحرية، سعى المجتمع الدولي مبكرًا ومنذ إنشاء الأمم المتحدة إلى إيجاد قواعد قانونية دولية تعمل على حل المنازعات البحرية بين الدول سواءً عن طريق الأحكام الصادرة من محكمة العدل الدولية، على سبيل المثال: ما تضمنه حكم محكمة العدل الدولية في قضية مضيق كورفو 1946، أو من خلال تنظيم المؤتمرات الدولية بهدف الوصول إلى اتفاقية دولية تنظم حقوق الدول وواجباتها بالبحار، وبعد محاولات عدة تكللت تلك الجهود بتوقيع الاتفاقية الدولية للبحار 1982، وتميزت بعدد من العناصر نسردها في هذه الدراسة بشكل موجز، أهمها أنها استحدثت ولأول مرة نظامًا خاصًا بالمضايق الدولية (حق المرور العابر) وبما يرعى حقوق الدولة المشاطئة.
ونظرًا للأحداث والعمليات العسكرية التي اندلعت في البحرين الأحمر والعربي بعد طوفان 7 أكتوبر في الأراضي الفلسطينية المحتلة، والتي كان لها تأثير مباشر على منع الملاحة الدولية لبعض السفن التي تعود ملكيتها إلى الكيان الصهيوني أو المرتبطة به، وكذا السفن الأمريكية والبريطانية، بسبب الانتهاكات الجسيمة التي تمارسها تلك الدول بالمخالفة الواضحة لمبادئ القانون الدولي المجسدة في ميثاق الأمم المتحدة وهو ما يسترعي معرفة مشروعية منع اليمن لتلك السفن من المرور عبر مضيق باب المندب من جهة، والهجمات التي تقوم بها القوات المسلحة اليمنية في هذا السياق من جهة أخرى، لنخلص إلى عدد من النتائج والتوصيات.

Bir İslamcılık Özeleştirisi Olarak Mızraksız İlmihal
Authors: Sarıtaş Ufuk
Published: June 2024

Bir ideoloji olarak İslamcılık 19.yüzyılda Osmanlı İmparatorluğunun kurtuluş reçetelerinden birisi olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Batı dünyasının İslam ülkelerine ve değerlerine gösterdiği reaksiyonla gelişmiş ve bu yönde siyasal, toplumsal ve sanatsal üretim sergilemiştir. Tanzimat Dönemi’nde ortaya çıktığı tarihlerden itibaren güçlü bir entelektüel birikime sahip olan İslamcılık, kurulan Cumhuriyet rejimi ile etkisini yitirmiş, giderek içe kapanan bir hal almıştır. Cumhuriyet’in kadrolu aydınları, Kemalist devrimlerinin uygulayıcısı olurken Türk toplumunun İslam medeniyetinin havzasında mayalanan dini ve kültürel hayat pratiklerini, Batı’dan ithal argümanlarla şekillendirmeye çalışmışlardır. İslami düşünce tekrar canlılık kazanmak için 1980’leri bekler. Dindarların kamusal alanda gözükmesi sıkıyönetimi takip eden yıllarda Turgut Özal’ın liberal- özgürlükçü politikaları ile mümkün olur. 1980 sonrasında bu güçlenmeyi İslamcılığın entelektüel canlanışı takip eder. İslamcı aydınlar, görece çağdaş ve özgürlükçü Türkiye deneyimini yaşarken İslam’ın yeniden güçlü bir retoriğe dönüşerek toplumu anlamlandıracağını düşünürler. Bu minvalde roman da İslamcı entelektüelin bir aracı haline gelir. 80’li yıllarda birçok yazar tarafından çoğunluğu hidayet öyküleri anlatan romanlar yazılır. Üzerinden çok geçmeden Türkiye’deki İslamcı pratiğin özeleştirisini yapan romanlar yazılır. Mehmet Efe’nin Mızraksız İlmihal’i bu özeleştiri romanlarından birisidir. Bu çalışmada İslamcılık düşüncesinin 1980 sonrasındaki durumu ve Türk romanına yansımaları değerlendirildikten sonra bir özeleştiri romanı olarak Mızraksız İlmihal incelenecektir.
Halid Ziya Uşaklıgil’in Hikâyelerinde Adalar ve Adalar’ın Mekân Kurgusu
Authors: Şahin Güngör
Published: June 2024

Medeniyet şehri İstanbul’un yatay ve dikey katmanlı kültürel yapısı, tüm sanatsal yapıtlarda kendine münhasır bir “İstanbul estetiği” oluşmasını sağlar. İstanbul; Doğu-Batı sentezi bir medeniyet şehri olmakla kalmamış, sentezi de aşarak bir kültürel üst kimlik oluşumunda insan öğesini de çağlar boyunca medeniyetin bir parçası olarak şekillendirmiştir. Şehrin dokusuna münhasır florası ve faunası, mimari eserleri, dîvanları, şehrengizleri, dini ve kültürel yapıları, mezarlıkları vb. unsurlar -İstanbul’un güzelliğini oluşturan tüm bu estetik form- sanatla yüzyıllarca ilmek ilmek işlenerek bugünkü kültür ve medeniyet şehrini oluşturmuştur. Bir medeniyet şehrinin kimlik inşası, geçmişinin izlerini karakterinin bir parçası haline dönüştürmesi ile nihayete ermeyen bir süreçte gerçekleşir. İstanbul’un kültürel ve sanatsal kimliğinin önemli bir parçası da Adalar’dır. Servet-i Fünûn dönemi hikâyelerinde İstanbul adaları; estetik ve mimari yapısının yanında, hikâye kişilerinin kaçış ya da sığınma mekânı olarak görülür. Halid Ziya Uşaklıgil ve dönem yazarları, ortak dikkatlerini bu yönüyle Adalar’a çevirirler. Mazinin güzel günlerini arayanların, toplumdan kaçanların, kendinden kaçanların ya da günübirlik aşk buluşmalarının mekânı olan Adalar; İstanbul’un dışında kendisine özgü çehresiyle Halid Ziya Uşaklıgil’in hikâyelerinde yer alır. Çalışmamızın amacı, Halid Ziya Uşaklıgil’in hikâyelerinde Adalar’ın vak’a kurgusundaki ve insan psikolojilerinin betimlenmesindeki rolünü ortaya koymaktır. Çalışmamızda hikâyelerin mekânla özdeşleşen tematik kurgusu, hikâye kişilerinin Adalar’la psikolojik ve ruhsal bütünleşmeleri; mekân insan ilişkisi çerçevesinde incelenmiştir.
Sumbas Yer Adları Üzerine Halk Bilimsel Bir Değerlendirme
Authors: Öçaldı Gökhan
Published: June 2024

Yer adları; belirli bir yerin doğal, kültürel, sosyo-kültürel etkisi ile ortaya çıkmış ve insanda sürekli ilgi uyandırarak bilimsel çalışmaların önemli inceleme alanlarından biri olmuştur. Nesneleri, kişileri ya da bölgeleri birbirinden ayıran en önemli kavram onların adlarıdır. İnsanın doğadaki varlıkları algılaması, adlandırması ve onları anlamlandırma çabası kültürel ve tarihsel yaşantıların birer yansıması olarak düşünülmelidir. İçinde yaşanılan bölgeler, dilin ve kültürün etkileşimiyle gelişerek kimlik kazanır ve netice olarak dönüşümünü tamamlar. Dolayısıyla toplumlar varoluşlarını anlamlandırırken mekâna özel bir anlam yüklemektedirler. Bu bağlamda hem halk biliminin hem de ad biliminin inceleme konularından olan adlandırma çalışmaları günümüzde oldukça dikkat çekici bir çalışma alanı haline gelmiştir. Ayrıca yer adlandırmaları, toplumun kültürel belleğine işleyen yaşanmışlıklar hakkında bilgi verici kaynaklardır. Kısacası geçmişten günümüze kadar geçen zaman diliminde, bir mekâna verilen ad, dil ve kültür yaratmanın işaretleri kapsamında görülmektedir. Bu bağlamda çalışmada, Osmaniye iline bağlı Sumbas ilçesinin yer adı değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmanın büyük çoğunluğunu alan araştırmasından elde edilen bilgiler oluşturmaktadır. Ayrıca yazılı kaynaklara da çalışmada yer verilmiştir.
Impact of Globalization on Wheat Purchase Prices in Ukraine in 2005-2021
Authors: Kubala Sebastian
Published: July 2024

The main objective of the article is to assess the impact of globalization on wheat purchase prices in Ukraine. The following hypothesis was verified: the decisive factors shaping wheat purchase prices in Ukraine are the prices of this agricultural commodity in other countries. The research period covers the years 2005-2021. The variables were divided into two groups: (1) variables related to globalization (2) variables resulting from internal market functioning. At the first stage, Pearson's linear correlation was tested between wheat purchase prices in Ukraine and the assumed variables. Then, a multiple regression model was created to indicate which variables best explain the evolution of wheat purchase prices in Ukraine. The conducted research indicates that factors related to globalization are closely related to wheat purchase prices in Ukraine. Wheat purchase prices in Ukraine are best explained by the value of GDP per capita in Ukraine and the volume of wheat exports from Ukraine to third countries.
