Digital transformation, modern technologies to enable autonomous production capabilities, and smart logistical systems are prerequisite strategies to gain competitive advantages in developing countries. Additive manufacturing (AM) or three-dimensional printing offering more significant advantages, can manufacture complex geometries of products with various materials. AM plays a main role in reducing the number of parts, helping reduce and eliminate assembly time and cost. However, the application is still limited, especially in developing countries like Vietnam. This research paper aims to identify and assess the challenges associated with applying additive manufacturing in Southeast Vietnam. This study is conducted in three phases. Step one identifies challenges by reviewing previous studies. Step two applies semi-structured interviews with experts to consolidate these challenges to build a multi-level hierarchical structure of challenges. The third stage is to use a multi-hierarchical process method to rank these issues in order to organize the necessary resources for a successful response. The results show that there are five main challenges and 25 sub-challenges in implementing additive printing technology. Using the Average AHP method, financial and strategic challenges are ranked first and second significant, respectively. This paper contributes by identification of Additive Manufacturing implementation challenges based on the literature review and semi-structured interview with the experts. It provides an assessment of the challenges to help the practitioners robust the addictive manufacturing implementation in the manufacturing industry in Vietnam with limited resources.

Published: October 2023

Background and purpose – Ciprofloxacin (CIP) is a broad-spectrum antibiotic widely used in clinical practice to treat musculoskeletal infections. Fluoroquinoloneinduced neurotoxic adverse events have been reported in a few case reports, all the preclinical studies on its neuropsychiatric side effects involved only healthy animals. This study firstly investigated the behavioral effects of CIP in an osteoarthritis rat model with joint destruction and pain, which can simulate inflammation-associated musculoskeletal pain. Furthermore, effects of CIP on regional brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression were examined given its major contributions to the neuromodulation and plasticity underlying behavior and cognition. Methods – Fourteen days after induction of chronic osteoarthritis, animals were administered vehicle, 33 mg/kg or 100 mg/kg CIP for five days intraperitoneally. Motor activity, behavioral motivation, and psychomotor learning were examined in a reward-based behavioral test (Ambitus) on Day 4 and sensorimotor gating by the prepulse inhibition test on Day 5. Thereafter, the prolonged BDNF mRNA and protein expression levels were measured in the hippocampus and the prefrontal cortex. Results – CIP dose-dependently reduced both locomotion and reward-motivated exploratory activity, accompanied with impaired learning ability. In contrast, there were no significant differences in startle reflex and sensory gating among treatment groups; however, CIP treatment reduced motor activity of the animals in this test, too. These alterations were associated with reduced BDNF mRNA and protein expression levels in the hippocampus but not the prefrontal cortex. Conclusion – This study revealed the detrimental effects of CIP treatment on locomotor activity and motivation/learning ability during osteoarthritic condition, which might be due to, at least partially, deficient hippocampal BDNF expression and ensuing impairments in neural and synaptic plasticity.
Proposal of a Measurement Scale and Test of the Impacts on Purchase and Revisit Intention
Authors: Ayari Salma , Ben Yahia Imène
Published: September 2023

Online immersion is considered as a determining factor of web surfers’ reactions. Its importance may be greater in a 3D-enriched environment. However, little research has explored it in marketing and less has investigated its impact on consumer behaviour in an enriched commercial website. In addition, when it comes to its operationalization, many weaknesses are noticed in the existing literature. Accordingly, the objective of this study is two-fold: in order to test the impact of immersion on purchase and revisit intentions to a 3D-enriched commercial website, a scale measurement of immersion tailored to this specific context is proposed. Following Churchill’s framework and the recommendations of Rossiter, a number of methodological instruments, including two focus groups (the first with 4 experts; the second with 18 consumers) and three surveys (first: 140 students; second: 350 Internet users; third: 200 Internet users), are used. The confirmatory factor analysis resulted in an 8-item scale which seems to exhibit evidence of reliability and validity. The predictive validity was confirmed since the impacts of immersion on the intentions to buy and revisit the website are significant. The proposed scale measure may help academics conduct better and more reliable studies on consumer behaviour online.
Phishing Message Detection Based on Keyword Matching
Authors: Tham Keng-Theen , Ng Kok-Why , Haw Su-Cheng
Published: September 2023

This paper proposes to use the Naïve Bayes-based algorithm for phishing detection, specifically in spam emails. The paper compares probability-based and frequency-based approaches and investigates the impact of imbalanced datasets and the use of stemming as a natural language processing (NLP) technique. Results show that both algorithms perform similarly in spam detection, with the choice between them depending on factors such as efficiency and scalability. Accuracy is influenced by the dataset configuration and stemming. Imbalanced datasets lead to higher accuracy in detecting emails in the majority class, while they struggle to classify minority-class emails. In contrast, balanced datasets yield overall high accuracy for both spam and ham email identification. This study reveals that stemming has a minor impact on algorithm performance, occasionally decreasing in accuracy due to word grouping. Balancing the dataset is crucial for improving algorithm performance and achieving accurate spam email detection. Hence, both probability-based and frequency-based Naïve Bayes algorithms are effective for phishing detection using balanced datasets. The frequency-based approach, with a balanced dataset and stemming, achieves a balanced performance between recall and precision, while the probability-based method with a balanced dataset and no stemming prioritises overall accuracy.

This editorial introduces the September issue and highlights four papers that are concerned with automatically detecting fake news and “phishing” attempts. The discussion is in the context of a recent proposal by the Australian Government to restrict the spread of misinformation and disinformation. It is noted that all the proposed methods use Artificial Intelligence (AI), suggesting that bias, which can be introduced by AI training processes, would be worthy of further research. The other papers are briefly described.
This issue also includes an obituary for Harry Wragge, a former head of Telecom/Telstra Research Laboratories. We also note the passing of John Burke, an influential member of this Journal’s Editorial Advisory Board.
A comparative study of radial artery cannulation by USG guidance versus palpation technique in major surgery patients
Authors: Thailamuthu Muthumani , S. Jayasri , Deekshith Talikota Sai
Published: September 2023

Background: Arterial blood pressure monitoring is a basic vital sign measured in all patients. Arterial catheterization is a frequent and essential procedure for continuous blood pressure monitoring, blood sampling for arterial blood gas analysis, in many clinical settings. The aim of the study is to compare the conventional palpatory technique and ultrasound guided method for radial artery cannulation.
Methods: In this study, 100 patients divided into two groups- ultrasound group and conventional palpatory method. Outcomes were assessed based on successful cannulation at first attempt, number of attempts, time taken, complications.
Results: This study shows that ultrasound guided radial artery cannulation has advantages like successful cannulation at first attempt, lesser number of attempts required for successful cannulation, and lesser complications compared to the direct palpation technique.
Conclusions: This study shows that ultrasound guided technique has definitive advantages over direct palpation technique in terms of efficacy and lesser complications.
Πλάνο Φροντίδας Νεογνού με Περιγεννητική Ασφυξία
Authors: Μεταλλινού Δήμητρα , Γκοζίτα Έλενα , Αποστολίδη Δήμητρα-Μαρία , Νάνου Χριστίνα Ι.
Published: September 2023

Εισαγωγή

Η περιγεννητική ασφυξία αποτελεί μια σοβαρή κατάσταση που συνδέεται με νεογνική νοσηρότητα και θνητότητα και η εμφάνισή της έχει συσχετιστεί με πολλούς παράγοντες κινδύνου, γεγονός που καταδεικνύει την πολυπλοκότητά της. Παρά τη σημαντική πρόοδο που έχει σημειωθεί στην περιγεννητική φροντίδα, αποτελεί την τρίτη πιο συχνή αιτία νεογνικού θανάτου, έπειτα από τις σοβαρές λοιμώξεις και τον πρόωρο τοκετό, με συχνότητα εμφάνισης 1 έως 6 ανά 1.000 ζωντανές τελειόμηνες γεννήσεις.

Σκοπός

Σκοπός αυτής της ανασκόπησης είναι να παρουσιαστούν τα νεότερα βιβλιογραφικά δεδομένα αναφορικά με την περιγεννητική ασφυξία και να αναλυθεί το πλάνο φροντίδας των πασχόντων νεογνών μέσω υποστηρικτικών μέτρων.

Μέθοδοι

Πραγματοποιήθηκε ανασκόπηση της ελληνικής και διεθνούς βιβλιογραφίας στις ηλεκτρονικές βάσεις δεδομένων PubMed, Medline Plus, Google Scholar και Scopus. Το υλικό της μελέτης αποτέλεσαν επιλεγμένα άρθρα δημοσιευμένα την τελευταία εικοσαετία. Υπήρξε περιορισμός ως προς τη γλώσσα δημοσίευσης των άρθρων και χρησιμοποιήθηκαν κυρίως άρθρα που δημοσιεύτηκαν στα αγγλικά και στα ελληνικά.

Αποτελέσµατα

Συγκεκριμένα κριτήρια έχουν καθιερωθεί για τον ορισμό ενός υποξικού-ισχαιμικού συμβάντος που μπορεί να προκαλέσει μέτρια έως σοβαρή νεογνική εγκεφαλοπάθεια. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, η παρουσία σοβαρής μεταβολικής οξέωσης κατά τη γέννηση, δηλαδή pH < 7 και έλλειμμα βάσης ≥ 12 mmol/L, αποτελεί κύριο εύρημα της εν λόγω νοσηρότητας. Για τη διαχείριση και αξιολόγηση ενός νεογνού με ασφυξία, απαιτούνται κλινικές και εργαστηριακές εξετάσεις, ενώ τα θεραπευτικά μέτρα αποσκοπούν στην υποστήριξη των συστημάτων του οργανισμού του νεογνού.

Συµπεράσµατα

Η περιγεννητική ασφυξία μπορεί να επηρεάσει σχεδόν οποιοδήποτε όργανο του σώματος του νεογνού και η πρόγνωση εξαρτάται από τη σοβαρότητα του συμβάντος. Μόνο ένα μικρό ποσοστό των νεογνών επιβιώνει χωρίς επιπλοκές. Η θεραπεία υποθερμίας μετά από περιγεννητική ασφυξία έχει αποδειχθεί ότι παρέχει νευροπροστασία, η οποία είναι ικανή να μειώσει τον κίνδυνο θανάτου και νευροαναπτυξιακής αναπηρίας. Υπάρχουν, επίσης, πολλοί νευροπροστατευτικοί παράγοντες που μπορούν να μειώσουν τη βλάβη που προκαλείται στον εγκέφαλο από την υποξία-ισχαιμία, αλλά πρέπει να διερευνηθούν περαιτέρω για την αξιολόγηση της αποτελεσματικότητάς τους.
Rhetorical structure of research paper introductions in computer science: a comparative analysis
Authors:   National Research Nuclear University MEPhI, Aleshinskaya Evgeniya V.
Published: October 2023

Research paper introductions are considered challenging, especially for academic writers whose native language is different from English. Despite the large interest in the rhetorical organization of research papers across various disciplines and cultures, little is known about the structural patterns used by Russian authors in English-language research paper introductions in Computer Science as one of the fastest growing scientific fields. To fill the gap, this paper investigates the ways Russian academic writers organize their introductions as compared to the norms of the international scientific community where English is the acknowledged lingua franca. The purpose of this study is to identify discrepancies between the approaches to structuring computer science introductions generated in the English language by Russian and Anglophone authors. Drawing evidence from 43 research papers published in highly ranked Russian and Anglophone journals in Computer Science, it addresses the main features specific to research paper introductions in this field and analyzes how rhetorical moves are realized linguistically by both native and non-native academic writers based on the create-a-research-space (CARS) model. The results of the qualitative study show that Russian authors make use of fewer strategies than native English writers; moreover, the former tend to avoid the ‘establishing a niche’ move, which is considered obligatory in the structure of a research paper introduction. The paper adds to the exploration of cross-cultural variations in academic writing.
Problemas de acción colectiva en procesos de pacificación: oportunismo e instituciones
Authors: Zamudio González Laura
Published: October 2023

Este trabajo presenta una nueva lectura del proceso de pacificación salvadoreño (1992–1994), centrándose en el oportunismo como problema de acción colectiva y en su exitoso manejo, a través del diseño de instituciones, entendidas como reglas, normas y rutinas. Se argumenta que en contextos inciertos con asimetrías de información y altos costos de transacción, como en los periodos de posguerra, los actores locales enfrentan problemas de cooperación que los llevan a transgredir, engañar y posponer recurrentemente el cumplimiento de acuerdos pactados por ellos. Los resultados de este estudio permiten reinterpretar las posibilidades de éxito o fracaso de las nuevas operaciones para el mantenimiento de la paz a cargo de las Naciones Unidas.AbstractThis article introduces what might be considered as a different approach to discus pacifications of countries affected by intra–state conflicts. Using the case of the process of pacification in El Salvador (1992–1994), I introduce several categories stemming from the new institutionalism in order to understand the role of institutions designed to tackle opportunism. The argument is that asymmetries of information and high transactions costs are particularly acute in postwar periods. This situation creates the ideal conditions and incentives for political actors to act opportunistically, which might derive in severe negative affectations of the peace agreements already in place. This is when the introduction of "rules of the game" designed specifically to tackle opportunism become critical for the success of a pacifications effort.
Jóvenes víctimas de violencias, caras tatuadas y borramientos
Authors: Cerbino Mauro
Published: October 2023

En este texto se propone repensar las modalidades de la violencia pandilleril, señalando un conjunto de causas que subyacen a esa violencia, la cual, al insertarse en el círculo de las violencias, permite problematizar la oposición entre víctimas y victimarios. Se toma el caso de las maras centroamericanas para desarrollar una interpretación del gesto de tatuarse la cara como una práctica que evidencia algunas de las formas en que los jóvenes, a la vez que ejercen violencia, la padecen. Además, se analiza el borramiento de los tatuajes de la piel interpretándolo como la escenificación de una violencia institucional aún más intensa. Estas prácticas se interpretan enfatizando algunos aspectos relacionados con los significados de posiciones de subjetivación o de sujetamiento.AbstractThis article tries to rethink the diverse modalities of gang violence, and proposes a set of causes that explain them. It explores the spiral of violence, and the opposition between victims and perpetrators. Specifically, the paper looks at the case of the Central American maras and offers an interpretation of the act of tattooing the face, as a practice that shows paradoxically how young people suffer violence in exercising of violence. Furthermore, we analyze the practice of erasing tattoos from the skin as sign of a much more intense institutional violence. The interpretation of these practices emphasizes some of the aspects related to the meanings of positions of subjectivation.
Gobernanza: una mirada desde América Latina
Authors: Zurbriggen Cristina
Published: October 2023

El concepto de gobernanza adquiere cada vez más trascendencia en los debates teóricos europeos y en la práctica política, en tanto nuevo modo de gestionar las políticas públicas, a partir de las reformas del sector público en los años ochenta. Sin embargo, el debate en América Latina ha tenido características diferentes que el europeo, por lo que es necesario aportar una revisión crítica de la agenda propuesta para la transformación del Estado en la región y la transferencia de la noción degovernance por los organismos multilaterales. Para comprender estas transformaciones, aquí se analizan tres áreas centrales de las reformas estatales emprendidas en América Latina: la privatización de servicios públicos, las nuevas ofertas de políticas sociales y los procesos de descentralización. Ello nos permitirá entender la tensión entre los modelos normativos y los particulares patrones de gobernanza que predominan en América Latina.AbstractGovernance is becoming an increasingly important concept in European theoretical debates and in political practice as a new way to manage public policies, since the public sector reforms in the 80s. However, the debate in Latin America has different characteristics than in Europe, so it is necessary to provide a critical review of the proposed agenda for the transformation of the state in the region, and of the transfer of the concept of governance by multilateral agencies. To understand these changes the paper examines three key areas of reforms in Latin America and the privatization of public services, new social policies proposals and the decentralization process. This will help us understand the tension between normative models and specific patterns of governance that prevail in Latin America.
La estrategia contra el crimen organizado en México: análisis del diseño de la política pública
Authors: Montero Juan Carlos
Published: October 2023

Este artículo parte del reconocimiento de la amenaza que implica el crimen organizado para un régimen democrático y analiza la política que, para combatirlo, se ha adoptado en México durante la gestión del presidente Felipe Calderón. Asimismo, se cuestiona si el gobierno considera este asunto como de seguridad pública o de seguridad nacional. El hallazgo principal revela que el objetivo del gobierno federal no es combatir el crimen organizado sino la violencia que éste genera, y que para ello ha implementado una política basada principalmente en el uso de la fuerza pública, factor que no facilita la colaboración inter e intragubernamental por los conflictos que surgen cuando se articulan las políticas de seguridad pública con las de seguridad nacional.Abstract This paper is based on the assumption that the organized crime is a menace for democracy. The article develops an analysis on the fight against organized crime's policy design in the Felipe Calderon's government, questioning if the policy is managed as a police's issue or a national security's issue. The main finding is the identification of the Mexican's government objective in the "war against organized crime" switching the focus from organized crime to the violence created by criminal organizations. To fight violence the government implements a policy based on the use of public force that doesn't consider the cooperation between different governmental agencies.
Entre el cargo, la maternidad y la doble jornada. Presidentas municipales de Oaxaca

Published: October 2023

La participación de las mujeres en la política municipal enfrenta, en México, entre otras dificultades, la de conciliar las responsabilidades domésticas con las de un cargo público. A partir de un estudio de dieciocho casos de presidentas municipales de Oaxaca, el presente artículo analiza la forma en que ellas perciben la relación entre maternidad, doble jornada (crianza de hijos/as y trabajo doméstico) y cargo presidencial, así como las estrategias con las que conciban los roles materno y político. La metodología consistió en entrevistar a todas las presidentas que han gobernado un municipio usocostumbrista oaxaqueño desde 1996 hasta la fecha de lo que derivaron dos conclusiones principales: a) la relación entre maternidad y presidencia depende del estado civil de las mujeres, de la edad de sus hijos e hijas y de la posibilidad de contratar ayuda doméstica; y b) el hecho de que las mujeres tengan un puesto de prestigio y responsabilidad no las exenta del trabajo doméstico ni tampoco se generan reestructuraciones para que el mismo se reparta entre los integrantes del núcleo familiar.AbstractIn México, women's participation in municipal politics faces, among other difficulties, that of reconciling domestic and public responsibilities. Drawing on research conducted with eighteen female mayors of Oaxaca, this paper analyzes the ways in which women perceive the relationship between motherhood, double burden (child raising and domestic work) and their presidential position. All the women who have ruled a Custom and Practice municipality in Oaxaca since 1996 were interviewed. Two main conclusions are drawn from the analysis. First, the relationship between motherhood and presidential position varies according to women's marital status; the age of their children; and their chances of hiring domestic help. Second, even if women assume a public position of prestige and responsibility, they continue to perform domestic duties; household chores do not get redistributed among its members.

Prácticas clientelares y control político en la experiencia campesina de Argentina
Authors: Landini Fernando
Published: October 2023

Al partir de la democracia y la libertad como valores fundamentales, resulta de gran o interés para las ciencias sociales el estudio de las prácticas clientelares y las formas derivadas de control político. Atendiendo a que el tema muchas veces fue abordado desde J¡ presupuestos fuertemente ideológicos y desde miradas externas que oscurecen el modo í en que los propios actores perciben el fenómeno, se realizó una investigación cualitativa en una comunidad rural de la provincia de Formosa, Argentina, buscando recuperar la perspectiva de los campesinos. Se concluye que éstos encuentran en las prácticas clientelares un reconocimiento humano de sus necesidades que no tienen de parte del Estado 205 burocrático, por lo que perciben al vínculo como legítimo, y critican sólo que la asistencia se concentre en los períodos electorales.AbstractScholarship on clientelism frequently addresses political clientelism using strong ideological presuppositions and/or neglecting its subjective dimension. In this article I explore political clientelism in a rural community of the province of Formosa, Argentina from the peasants' point of view. The results suggest that peasants consider the clientelist relation as one that recognizes their personal needs, while the bureaucracy of the state does not. Thus, they perceive clientelist ties as legitimate, criticizing only the fact that the provision of resources by patrons takes place only during elections.
Surface Physicochemical Characterization of Shepherd’s Purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris) by Inverse Gas Chromatography
Authors: ISİK Birol
Published: October 2023

Shepherd’s purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris) is one of the plants widely utilized in conventional medicine and can grow in different parts of the world. The determination of the surface properties of a solid material is extremely important for the industrial use of the material and the improvement of material properties. Therefore, in this study, this plant was used as a stationary phase, and its surface characterization was performed by inverse gas chromatography technique. In this context, firstly, the plant was prepared with several pretreatments to be used in the experimental tests. The V_N values were found from the retention data obtained by passing organic solvents over the plant filled into the chromatographic column in the temperature range of 303.2–328.2 K and linear retention diagrams were drawn. The γ_S^D of the plant was calculated according to Schultz, Dorris-Gray, and Donnet-Park methods, and the suitability of the methods was compared. The 〖∆G〗_A^S values were calculated with the data obtained from the Schultz method, and the 〖∆H〗_A^S values were calculated using these data. The acidity and basicity of the plant surface were examined. According to the K_D⁄K_A value (0.93), it was determined that the surface of the plant was acidic.

Vzpon in padec svetega Mohorja
Authors: Maver Aleš
Published: October 2023

Tradicionalno podobo svetega Mohorja (Hermagora) kot učenca evangelista Marka in prvega oglejskega škofa že iz prvega krščanskega stoletja so ostro kritizirali že od osemnajstega stoletja naprej, čeprav to ni vplivalo na svetnikovo priljubljenost med verniki. Ob bok legendarnemu svetemu Mohorju so postavili njegovega soimenjaka iz tretjega stoletja, ki naj bi vendarle bil prvi oglejski škof, in čudaško pojavo moža s pravim imenom Hermogen, ki je bil lektor cerkvene skupnosti v Singidunu v današnji Srbiji. Eden najodločnejših in najzgodnejših zagovornikov »hipoteze o Hermogenu«, hrvaški duhovnik Svetozar Rittig, je hotel zelo čaščenega mučenca iz italijanskega spremeniti v panonskega ali sremskega svetnika, s čimer je kazal njegovo povezanost z ozemljem južnih Slovanov.
Svetniške pridige Jožefa Horvata
Authors: Zver Nina
Published: October 2023

V prispevku opozarjam na obstoj prekmurskih svetniških pridig, ki so jih napisali prekmurski katoliški duhovniki v 19. in 20. stoletju. Večinoma so hranjene v arhivih in védenje o njih še ni razširjeno, dokazujejo pa, da so bili življenjepisi svetnikov tudi na tem območju priljubljen vir za njihovo snovanje. Tudi Jožef Horvat, duhovnik gradiščanskohrvaškega porekla (1880–1932), ki je bil v letih 1905–1912 kaplan v Črenšovcih, od 1912 do 1932 pa župnik v Martjancih, je za snov svojih pridig ob svetniških godovih in t. i. žegnanjskih nedeljah v cerkvah, poimenovanih po svetnikih, izbiral hagiografije.
Retorični potencial hagiografskega diskurza: avtorjev glas v Slomškovi izdaji svetniških življenjepisov Djanje Svetnikov Božjih
Authors: Bizjak Končar Aleksandra
Published: October 2023

Prispevek obravnava retorične značilnosti hagiografskega diskurza. Doslej večkrat obravnavana značilnost svetniških biografij je njihov pripovedni stil. Vendar so hagiografske pripovedi le redko zgrajene iz nepretrganega niza pripovednih segmentov. Vanje se vključujejo tudi opisni odlomki in komentarji, ki hagiografski diskurz oddaljujejo od pripovednosti. Najprej predstavimo retorično teorijo (C. Cloran 1994), ki se navezuje na sistemsko-funkcijsko jezikoslovje (Halliday in Matthiessen 2004) in nam omogoča prepoznavanje pripovednih in nepripovednih načinov ubesedovanja. Potem teoretični model preizkusimo na izbranih besedilih iz Slomškove izdaje svetniških življenjepisov Djanje Svetnikov Božjih (1853–1854). Nepripovedne vidike upovedovanja obravnavamo v okviru pojma avtorjev glas in ob tem opozorimo na avtorjeve premišljene strategije vplivanja na bralčevo razumevanje pripovednih dogodkov.
Auntie Dialogues
Authors: Johnson Paulina , Guevara Salamanca Juan
Published: September 2023

The Auntie Dialogues is a special journal issue of "The Auntie Is In" podcast scripts. This decolonial approach to research dissemination is aimed at layering Indigenous storytelling alongside written literature. In the sixteen episodes presented in Season One, Dr. Paulina Johnson, or the Auntie, bridges her approach with an “Auntie” mentality to address misconceptions and stereotypes about Indigenous peoples and cultures and better inform listeners of Indigenous realities. The podcast does not solely look at damage or deficit but also the vibrancy of Nehiyawak culture including knowledge relating to creation stories, traditions, ceremonies, and much more. Dr. Johnson is Nêhiyaw or Paskwâw-iyiniw, four-spirit or a prairie person, from Nipisihkopahk, Samson Cree Nation in Maskwacis, Alberta. The Nehiyawak are an oral culture, meaning they share information, through stories, songs, and everyday conversations, and the podcast allows Dr. Johnson to maintain that connection to her people and how knowledge can be shared and importantly to be as straightforward as needed as your own auntie would be to you. By grounding each podcast episode in ceremony and sharing the oral narratives and her own stories and experiences Dr. Johnson is able to facilitate the learning and unlearning needed for decolonization and importantly, reconciliation. These articles are the dialogues of the Auntie is in.

CUMHURİYET DÖNEMİ TÜRK ŞİİRİNDE MİTOLOJİ VE SALİH ZEKİ AKTAY ÖRNEĞİ
Authors: NURDAN Gülçin Tuğba
Published: September 2023

Bu çalışmada daha önce çok fazla akademik çalışmaya konu olmamış Nev-Yunanîlik akımı ile şiirlerini kaleme alan Salih Zeki Aktay incelenmiştir. Salih Zeki Aktay Cumhuriyet Döneminde çeşitli dergilerde aktif bir yazın hayatı olan şairlerden biridir. Bu çalışmada 1920-40’lı dönemlerde eserlerini kaleme alan şairin eserlerindeki mitolojik ögeler üzerinde durulmuştur. Bu bağlamda da onun şiirlerinin Yunan mitolojisi, Türk kültür ve gelenekleri gibi farklı metinlerin harmanlanmasından oluşturulduğu tespit edilmiştir. Fakat onu sadece şair olarak değerlendirmek eksik bir tanımlama olacaktır. Edebiyatın birçok türünde (hikâye, oyun, deneme, çeviri) eserler veren Salih Zeki Aktay, mitolojik unsurları şiirlerinde kullanmasının yanı sıra bu konuda düşünsel eserler de (Mitoloji) ortaya koymuştur. Mitoloji başlıklı eserinde mit kavramına bir tanımlama getirerek bunu örneklerle de desteklemektedir.

Onun şiirleri üzerinden mitoloji algısına örnekler veren bu çalışmada şairin hayat, ölüm, öte dünya, cennet, İsrafil gibi metaforları şiirlerinde sıklıkla kullandığı görülmektedir. Özellikle Yunan mitolojisinden etkilenen şairin şiirlerinde Venüs, Afrodit, Heredot gibi dinî ve tarihî figürlere sıklıkla rastlanmaktadır. Salih Zeki Aktay şiirlerinde gerçek olmayan bir dünya yaratmanın peşindedir. Bunun için de gerçek dışı unsurlardan (büyü, sihir, peri,…) sıklıkla faydalanmaktadır. Fakat bu yaratmak istediği dünyanın arayışını kendi geleneklerinde değil başka kültürlerin geleneklerinde aramıştır. Bu durumda da şiirlerinde sadece farklı kültürlerin bu kavramlarından sadece ismen bahsetmiştir. Bunun neticesinde de şiirlerinde derinleşememiştir.
Characterization, Production and Reproduction Performance of Southern Odisha Goats
Authors: Majumder Surita , Dash S.K. , Samal L. , Mishra C. , Karna D.K.
Published: September 2023

Background: The native goat populations in southern Odisha viz. Narayanpatna, Malkangiri and Ganjam were characterized phenotypically in the present study. Ganjam goats stood apart from other populations due to their large, pointed horns and stature. Odisha state has 30 districts and 10 different agro-climatic zones. Methods: The present study area is under North Eastern ghat and Eastern ghat high land agro climatic zones. An extensive management system is used to raise all the goats with a flock size varying from 6 to 45. The body weight was recorded from birth to 12 months at an interval of 3 months. Result: The average adult body weight from these 3 goat populations was 17.39±0.20, 16.31±0.17, 16.39±0.20 kg for Ganjam, Malkangiri and Narayanpatna goats, respectively revealing that Ganjam goats were heavier than the other two populations. The average age at sexual maturity and kidding interval was recorded as 318.24±5.24 and 312.06±1.28 days, 236.76±6.23 and 223.21±0.88 days, 218.34±4.28 and 218.22±0.76 days for Ganjam, Narayanpatna and Malkangiri goats, respectively revealing that Ganjam goats had significantly higher estimates than other two types. Males of all goat types were found to have higher body weight than the female counterparts beyond 3 months of age and found to be conspicuous at later age. This information on the physical characterization and production potentials may be helpful in developing further breed improvement strategies and breed registration.

Background: Groundnut kernels contain 48-50% edible oil, 25-34% protein, 10-20% carbohydrates and are a rich source of vitamins (E, K and B complex). Groundnut is a legume-oilseed crop, its requirement of phosphorus, calcium and sulphur is quite high. Gypsum is commonly used as a source of calcium and sulphur for groundnut all over the world. Keeping all these points in view the present study was undertaken to find out the optimum mineral nutrition of spring groundnut Methods: A field experiment was conducted for 2 years at the Students’ Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana during spring season of 2018 and 2019. The experiment was laid out in a split plot design replicated three times with four levels of gypsum (0, 125, 175 and 225 kg ha-1) in combination with two gypsum application stages (Full at sowing and 50% at sowing + 50% at flower initiation stage) in the main plot and three levels of nitrogen and phosphorus (15 kg N ha-1 + 20 kg P2O5 ha-1, 25 kg N ha-1 + 30 kg P2O5 ha-1 and 35 kg N ha-1 + 40 kg P2O5 ha-1) in the sub-plot. Result: Application of 225 kg ha-1 gypsum resulted significantly higher growth parameters, pod yield, haulm yield, kernel yield over other gypsum levels. Growth parameters, pod yield, haulm yield and kernel yield were significantly higher with the split application as compared to basal application of gypsum. Growth parameters viz., emergence count, plant height, number of branches plant-1 and dry matter accumulation were increased with increase in the levels of nitrogen and phosphorus up to 25 kg N ha-1 + 30 kg P2O5 ha-1. However, 35 kg N ha-1 + 40 kg P2O5 ha-1 resulted significantly higher protein and oil content of kernels over other levels of nitrogen and phosphorus, while pod yield, haulm yield and kernel yield were at par with 25 kg N ha-1 + 30 kg P2O5 ha-1 during both the years.

Authors: Borge-Leandro David , Fernández-Campos Pablo
Published: October 2023

En el cantón de El Guarco se ubicará el nuevo hospital de la provincia de Cartago, con un área estimada de construcción de 9 hectáreas, en un lote próximo a la confluencia de los ríos Purires y Coris. Históricamente en la zona se han presentado problemáticas relacionadas a desbordamientos de ríos e inundaciones. Los parámetros morfométricos determinados para la cuenca del río Purires señalan que la cuenca es propensa a la generación de inundaciones en la cuenca baja y la acumulación de sedimentos, esto aunado a altas pendientes que disminuyen su grado de inclinación según se aproximan al punto de estudio. Para la realización del proyecto del cual se deriva este artículo, se implementó el uso de una aeronave no tripulada y una antena RTK, esto para precisar la altimetría del área de interés, esta actividad resulta en un modelo digital de elevaciones de 3,7 cm/píxel, principal insumo para el modelado hidrodinámico. Se evalúa el comportamiento hidrodinámico de un tramo de 1,5km del río Purires, en Iber 2.4.3, del cual se obtiene la máxima extensión espacial, su calado y velocidad del flujo, así como su tiempo de permanencia, esto para un posible escenario de Cambio Climático. Se obtienen resultados tanto en el área donde se edificará el hospital, las llanuras de inundación próximas al tramo levantado del río, así como dos puentes, el puente 6 de la ruta nacional 2, que comunica el área metropolitana con la zona sur del país, y también un puente cantonal que comunica con el pueblo de Barrancas.

Published: September 2023

Bu çalışmada, Türkiye'deki kültürel küreselleşmenin etkisini gösteren, Ankara, İstanbul ve İzmir'de bilet satış sayfalarında duyurumu yapılmış 82 Cadılar Bayramı etkinliği afişi analiz edilmektedir. Bulgular, geleneksel Cadılar Bayramı sembollerinin yaygınlığını ortaya koyarak, küresel kitle iletişim araçlarının ve internetin bu sembolleri Batılı olmayan bir bağlamda normalleştirme gücüne işaret etmektedir. İngilizce’nin tutarlı kullanımı, onun küresel hakimiyetinin ve kültürel pratiklerin aktarımında oynadığı rolün altını çizmektedir. Cadılar Bayramı'nın bu kültürel ithalatı, yalnızca yabancı bir geleneğin benimsenmesi değil, aynı zamanda tüketicilikten büyük ölçüde etkilenen ticari bir küresel olaya dönüştüğünü göstermektedir. Popüler kültür sembolleri, güçlü pazarlama stratejileri olarak kullanılırken, sanatçı tanıtımları sıradan hale geliyor ve etkinliği kültürel kutlamanın ötesinde çekici kılmaktadır. Ticari mekân çıkarları, kültürel etkinliklerin ticarileştirilmesini ve eğlence sektörünün rolünü vurgulayarak, veri setinde önemli ölçüde ağır basmaktadır. Posterler, Cadılar Bayramı'nın kültürel olarak özel bir kutlamadan, orijinal dini ve kültürel köklerinden büyük ölçüde kopmuş, küresel bir sosyal ve eğlence etkinliğine dönüşümünü ortaya koymaktadır. Bu bulgular, küreselleşen dünyada kültürel alışverişin karmaşıklığının ve kültürel küreselleşmenin dinamik süreçlerinin altını çizmekte, çağdaş kültürel pratikleri şekillendirmede kültür ve ticaret arasındaki etkileşimi vurgulamaktadır. Çalışma, küreselleşme çağında kültürel pratikleri şekillendirmede ticari çıkarların gücünü örneklemektedir.

Teknolojik gelişmelerin hız kazandığı günümüzde, kuruluşlar da bu değişimden etkilenmekte ve dijital dönüşüm süreçlerini hızlandırmaktadır. Bu açıdan örgütlerin dijital evrimin hangi aşamasında bulunduğunu tespit etmek günümüzdeki teknoloji merkezli hızlı değişimleri anlamak bakımından büyük önem taşımaktadır. Vakıf üniversitelerinin kamu üniversitelerinden farklı olarak yoğun rekabet koşullarına sahip olmaları, örgütsel amaçlarına ulaşmada paydaşlarıyla etkili bir iletişim geliştirmelerini gerekmektedir. Bu anlamda, vakıf üniversiteleri eğitim kalitelerini artırma, öğrencilere daha iyi olanaklar sunma gibi becelerin yanısıra dijital iletişim dönüşümünü de amaçlamaktadırlar. Vakıf üniversitelerinin sosyal medya kullanım düzeylerinin incelenmesi ve ne ölçüde bir performans gösterdiklerinin belirlenmesi bu bağlamda çalışmanın amacını oluşturmaktadır. 2023 yılı verilerine göre 600 binin üzerinde öğrenciye lisans eğitim hizmeti sunan vakıf üniversiteleri, Türk yüksöğretiminde önemli bir konuma gelmiştir. Buradan hareketle, araştırmada Türkiye’de eğitim çalışmalarını sürdüren 78 vakıf üniversitesinin en çok kullandığı sosyal medya araçları (Facebook, Instagram, Twittwer ve Youtube), içerik analizi yöntemiyle incelenmiştir. Elde edilen sayısal veriler çok kriterli karar verme tekniklerinden biri olan TOPSIS yardımıyla istatistiki işlemlere (normalizasyon, ağırlıklandırma, ideal değerler oluşturma, pozitif ve negatif uzaklıklık değerleri oluşturma, ideal çözümü tespit etme vb.) tabi tutulmuş ve gerek her bir sosyal medya aracı için gerekse genel toplam için vakıf üniversitelerinin sosyal medya performans sıralamaları oluşturulmuştur. Araştırma bulguları, vakıf yükseköğretim kurumlarının büyük bir çoğunluğunun 4 sosyal medya aracını da kullandığını göstermiştir. Bununla birlikte her bir sosyal medya aracındaki performans sıralamaları farklılıklar göstermektedir. Genel performans sıralamasında İhsan Doğramacı Bilkent, İstanbul Medipol ve Üsküdar üniversiteleri ilk üç sırayı almıştır. Yapılan korelasyon analizleri ile sosyal medya performansı ve vakıf yükseköğretim kurumlarının yapısal özellikleri arasında bazı anlamlı ilişkiler tespit edilmiştir.

STEM learning may increase students' engagement in the instructional process. STEM has a significant role in students' cognitive and skills development. STEM in the learning process is characterized as engaging and interesting actions that are structured in such a way. STEM research in physics has been conducted for the past two decades. However, the evolution of this research has not specifically explained the trend of STEM studies in learning, so a distribution map is needed from this research. A bibliometric research analysis was employed to determine research development in STEM learning on physics. The papers were collected from 2013 to 2022 by writing the title (STEM) and keywords (STEM, Physics) through Publish or Perish. In addition, the selected paper must also be in English and indexed by Scopus. The total number of final papers analyzed in this study was 169. In addition, VOSviewer shows that there are still many opportunities for future researchers to study STEM, especially those related to barriers, case studies, scientists, stem content, opinions, stem activities, stem fields, and programs. This study discovered that the topic of study of STEM has a good likelihood of being explored and that it can be combined with various fields to make the research unique.
