ANALYSIS OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HIGH-TECH PRODUCT IMPORTS AND CURRENT ACCOUNT DEFICIT IN THE TURKISH ECONOMY
Authors: KARATAŞ Mehmet Burak , YILMAZ Selman
Published: July 2023

The aim of this study is to explain how the current account balance of the Turkish economy is affected by high technology product imports and this trade within the framework of causality analysis. One of the most important factors affecting the current account balance of a country is the import item. As a result of the lower export revenues of the country in return for the imports, the current account balance is adversely affected. The factor that provides the highest return in the production process of the country is the production of high-tech products. While some countries are at the top in the production of high-tech products, others are in the position of importers. Countries that are importers of high-tech products generally have current account deficit problems. However, all countries are trying to build their production structures to produce high-tech products. In this study, the relationship between high technology product imports and current account deficit in the Turkish economy was tested with Granger Causality Analysis. The current account deficit data obtained from the CBRT and the import level of high technology products obtained from TURKSTAT are used monthly between 2013-2021. As a result of the analysis carried out, no causal relationship could be determined between the import of high technology products and the current account deficit.

Authors: ÖZTÜRK Harun
Published: July 2023

Geri dönüşüm, yeniden üretim ve tamir işlemleri, daha az enerji kullanımı ve daha az atık oluşumunu sağlayarak işletmelerin karlılığını artırmaktadır ve tedarik zinciri toplam maliyeti üzerinde olumlu yönde etki yapmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, farklı ülkelerde bulunan tek bir üretici ve tek bir perakendeciden oluşan iki aşamalı tedarik zinciri sistemi için ekonomik ve çevresel hedefleri birlikte gözeten bir bütünleşik stok kontrol modeli geliştirilmektedir. Bu çalışmadaki problem, sistemin toplam stok maliyetini enküçükleyecek şekilde üreticinin parti sayısının ve perakendecinin parti büyüklüğünün, yani bütünleşik üretim-stok kontrol politikası parametrelerinin birlikte hesaplanmasıdır. Perakendecinin teslim aldığı her parti iyi kaliteli ürünlerle birlikte kusurlu ürünler de içermektedir. Kusurlu ürünlerin bir kısmı hurdaya ayrılmakta ve geri dönüşüm/yeniden üretim sürecine girmek üzere üreticiye geri gönderilmektedir, diğer kısmı ise yerel bir firmada tamir edildikten sonra eldeki stoğa eklenmektedir. Ürünlerin üreticiden perakendeciye ve kusurlu ürünlerin perakendeciden üreticiye ve tamir merkezine taşınmasından kaynaklanan karbon emisyon maliyetleri modele dahil edilmiştir. Bu çalışmadaki amaç, dışkaynak tamir, geri dönüşüm/yeniden üretim ve karbon emisyonunun birlikte tedarik zinciri performansı üzerindeki etkisini modellemektir. Sayısal bir örnek yardımıyla teorik sonuçlar elde edilmiş ve duyarlılık analizleri verilmiştir. Sayısal analiz sonucunda, tamir işleminin geri dönüşüm/yeniden üretim işlemiyle birlikte tedarik zinciri toplam stok maliyeti üzerinde olumlu yönde etkisinin olduğu gözlemlenmiştir.

Türkiye’de Yenilenebilir Enerji Tüketimi Ekonomik Büyümeye Katkı Sağlar Mı?
Authors: DEMİR Yusuf
Published: July 2023

Büyüme ve tüketim ayrı ayrı düşünülemeyecek kadar yakın iki kavramdır. Nüfus, sanayileşme ve artan ticaret gibi etkenlerle birlikte, insanlar daha çok üretmeye bununla beraber daha çok tüketmeye de başlamışlardır. Üretim ihtiyacını karşılayabilmek için çok daha fazla miktarda hammaddenin tüketimi, sentetik ürünlerin ve kimyasalların aşırı kullanımıyla ortaya çıkan hava, toprak ve su kirliliği gibi çevresel sorunlar ortaya çıkmıştır. Büyümek için gerekli olan tüketimi karşılayabilmek için gerekli kaynakların birisi de enerjidir. Yenilenebilir enerji kaynakları; limiti olmayan, sürdürülebilir, doğada kendini yeniden üretebilen genel hatlarıyla rüzgâr enerjisi, güneş enerjisi, bio-enerji, jeotermal enerji, dalga ya da gelgit enerjisi, hidroelektirik enerjisi olarak kategorileştirilmektedir. Çevre dostu olmaları, enerji tasarrufu ve politikaları kapsamında sanayisi ve ekonomisi büyümekte olan, nüfusu artış gösteren Türkiye’de yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarının enerji portföyündeki payını artırmak temel hedeflerden biridir. Bu doğrultuda yenilenebilir enerji tüketimi ile ekonomik büyümeyi analiz etmek bu çalışmanın temel motivasyonudur. Bunu yaparken Dünya Bankası’nın veri tabanından Türkiye’ye için 1990-2019 dönemine ait yenilenebilir enerji tüketimi ile kişi başına Gayri safi yurtiçi hasıla, sabit sermaye oluşumu ve toplam işgücü sayısına ait yıllık veriler Toda-Yamamoto nedensellik analizi ile incelenmiştir. Sonuç olarak yenilenebilir enerji tüketiminden, sermayeden ve işgücünden büyümeye doğru tek yönlü bir nedensellik olduğu görülmüştür. Yenilenebilir enerji tüketimindeki artışlar ekonomik büyümeyi olumlu etkiler.

HEDGING ABILITIES of STOCKS, GOLD, and REAL ESTATE FUNDS AGAINST INFLATION DURING COVID-19: EVIDENCE FROM TÜRKİYE
Authors: SÜMER Levent
Published: July 2023

The global economy is struggling with many challenges which started with the recession caused by the COVID-19 disease and continued with the high inflation problem. Investors seek safe havens in crisis periods and among many investment tools, real estate has always been an attractive tool to protect the purchasing powers of investors under high inflationary periods. By using Gultekin approach derived from the Fama-Schwert regression model, this study investigates the hedging ability of the Real Estate Investment Trusts and the Real Estate Investment Funds in Türkiye during the COVID-19 pandemic period (January 2020-December 2021). Additionally, the T-REIT Index, Istanbul Stock Exchange (BIST) 100 Index and gold (ounce/USD) and (gram/TL) were also analyzed in the study as benchmark tools. T-test, Jarque-Bera (1980), and Breusch-Pagan (1979) tests were used to validate the regression models. The results of the research revealed that only 4 of 33 T-REITs and 1 of 15 T-REIFs provided a hedge against inflation, while gold, BIST 100 and the T-REIT index did not have the statistical hedging ability during the COVID-19 period. The results of the research exhibited that, there are very few hedging tools under high inflation, and as a result, the purchasing powers of people are decreasing. Hence, the Central Bank of Türkiye Republic should seriously focus on fighting against inflation. Based on the reviewed past literature, this study seems to be the first research that seeks the hedging ability of the Turkish real estate capital market instruments in the COVID-19 period.
Impact of Severe Cervical Foraminal Stenosis on Contralateral C7 Nerve Transfer Outcomes
Authors: Kim Youngjoon , Kim Seondeuk , Kim Seungae , Kwon Hyung-Min
Published: July 2023

This report presents the case of a 67-year-old male patient with severe bilateral C6/7 foraminal stenoses who underwent contralateral seventh cervical nerve (C7) transfer as a treatment for left spastic hemiparesis resulting from a right middle cerebral artery infarction. The initial postoperative results showed improved spasticity and motor function, but these gains plateaued and even receded, unlike other studies that noted progress at 10–18 months post-surgery. We hypothesized that the presence of C7 radiculopathy due to severe cervical foraminal stenosis may affect long-term outcomes after contralateral C7 transfer and serve as a contraindication for this surgery. These findings emphasize the importance of thoroughly assessing patients with cervical foraminal stenosis and the associated risk of radiculopathy before considering a contralateral C7 transfer. Further research is needed to assess the prevalence of cervical foraminal stenosis in patients undergoing contralateral C7 transfer and explore alternative surgical approaches or adjunctive treatments to optimize postoperative outcomes.

Authors: YILMAZ Özgür
Published: July 2023

İngilizler 1830’lu yıllardan itibaren Anadolu’da tesis etmeye başladıkları konsolosluk ağı içinde Trabzon, Erzurum, Kayseri ve Samsun gibi önemli idari ve ticari merkezlerin yanında Batum’da da bir konsolos yardımcılığı açılmasına karar verilmiştir. Konsolosluk ağının bu genişleme sürecinde İngiliz hükümeti Maltalı bir Levanten tüccar olan Frederick Guarracino’yu konsolos yardımcısı olarak tayin etmiş ve Guarracino Nisan 1840’da Batum’a gelerek görevine başlamıştır. Ticaret yapma yetkisi ile tesis edilen Batum konsolos yardımcılığından İngiliz hükümetinin başlıca beklentisi bölgedeki İngiliz ticari çıkarlarının korunması ve genişletilmesiydi. Bundan dolayı Batum’da Guarracino’nun Batum’da geçirdiği altı yıllık görev döneminde en önemli amacı bölgedeki İngiliz ticaretini geliştirecek imkânlar elde etmesiydi. Görevinin önemli bir ayağını öncelikle Batum’daki ticari şartların iyileşmesini sağlamak teşkil etmekteydi. Diğer taraftan bu görevi kapsamında, bölgenin ticari kaynaklarını tespit etmek üzere seyahatlere çıkmak da vardı. Guarracino, bu amaçla Erzurum’daki amiri James Brant’ın talimatları ile doğrultusunda 1841’de biri Artvin’e diğeri de Erzurum’a olmak üzere iki gezi gerçekleştirdi. Bu seyahatlerinde geçtiği güzergâhlardaki ulaşım imkânlarını tespit ettiği gibi İngiliz mamulleri için pazar olanaklarını da tespit etmeye çalıştı.

Sosyolojik açıdan toplumların en temel yapı taşı ailedir. Tarihsel süreç içerisinde varlığı ve önemi sürekli artan aile kurumu, toplumun düzeninin devam etmesinde çok önemli işlev üstlenmiştir. Toplumlar bu anlamda aile kurumuna büyük önem vermiştir. Aile kurumu gelecek nesillere kültürel kimliğin ve tarih bilincinin aktarılmasında önemli vazifeler üstlenmiştir. Bu çalışmada Osmanlı aile yapısının XVIII. yüzyılda Trabzon örneği üzerinden tarihi ve sosyolojik tespitine katkıda bulunmak amaçlanmıştır. Bu çalışmada Osmanlı sosyal tarih çalışmalarının önemli arşiv belgeleri olan şer’iye sicilleri kullanılarak hazırlanmıştır. Bu kaynaklardan hareketle 1700-1730 seneleri arasında Trabzon’da aile birliğini oluşturan etmenler üzerinde durulmuştur. Bu doğrultuda Trabzon şer’iye sicillerine yansıdığı kadarı ile ailenin oluşum süreci ilk olarak; bireylerin reşit sayılma yaşları, evliliğe rıza, nişan, mehir, eş ve çocuk sayıları ele alınmıştır. Çalışmanın devamında aile birliğinin dağılması ile ilgili olarak boşanma ve bu sürecin devamında iddet nafakası ele alınmıştır. Çalışmada ayrıca dönemin iktisadi koşulları göz önünde tutularak birtakım kıyaslamalar yapılmıştır. Çalışmada çok eşliliğin çocuk sayısı üzerinde etkisi olup olmadığı değerlendirilmiştir.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of land preparation methods and iron-coated (Fe-coated) rice seeds on the growth, yield, and Fe uptake of rice in alluvial soils in the Mekong Delta region. The experiment was conducted in the 2020 summer-autumn cropping season under the triple rice cultivation system in Chau Thanh district, An Giang province. The field experiment was designed as a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with six treatments and four replications. The treatments were: (T1) puddled + water seeding + Fe-coated seeds; (T2) non-puddled + dry seeding + Fe-coated seeds; (T3) zero-tillage + non-puddled + dry seeding + Fe-coated seeds; (T4) puddled + water seeding + sprouted + non-Fe-coated seeds; (T5) puddled + wet seeding + sprouted + non-Fe-coated seeds; and (T6) puddled + transplanting + sprouted + non-Fe-coated seeds. The results showed that changes in the land preparation, planting method, and Fe-coated seeds did not significantly affect the number of tillers, plant height, yield components, soil chemical properties, grain yield, or Fe uptake of the rice plants and grains. However, the T3 and T6 treatments tended to have higher grains yields (5.86-5.90 tons ha-1), and higher total Fe content in grains (93.0-94.3 mg kg-1) and rice plants (83.1-84.0 mg kg-1). The findings from this study confirmed that the new planting method using zero-tillage + non-puddled + dry seeding + Fe-coated seeds can maintain the germination rate, growth, and grain yield of rice.

Published: July 2023

This study aimed to assess the perception of H'mong farmers in the northwest mountainous region on climate change, its impacts on crop production, and their adaptation strategies. Reports on natural disaster events and their damages for the period ranging from 2012-2021, together with meteorological data including daily temperature and precipitation for 1991-2021, were collected. Fifty households among the H’mong farmers were randomly selected from four villages of Pa Lau commune for interviews based on structured questionnaires. The results showed that most H’mong farmers know that the climate is changing. However, their perceptions of the trends of these changes in terms of rainfall, temperature, and extreme weather events were not consistent with the analysis of meteorological data. The results also revealed that this is because the farmers evaluated the changes mainly based on their observations of short-term climate changes and the associated impacts that directly affect their livelihoods. The farmers perceived that soil erosion and hot and extreme cold weather have tended to increase their impacts on the production of some major local crops. Other types of natural disasters such as droughts, floods, landslides, pests, and strong winds have tended to have more or less impacts depending on the crop type. Adaptation measures taken by farmers to mitigate the effects of climate change are mainly simple, flexible, seasonal and low-cost measures. This study provides basic information for authorities at all levels to mitigate the negative impacts of climate change.

The problem of restructuring reproductive behavior in Kenya
Authors: Rybalkina Inna G.
Published: July 2023

The subject of the childbearing regulation policy is noted in the documents of world importance – the Millennium Development Goals (2001) and the Sustainable Development Goals (2015). The migration crisis that has engulfed modern society is one of the reasons that prompted developed countries to assist the developing world in the policy of curbing demographic growth.
Family planning programs are organized activities, carried out primarily by government agencies, in order to disseminate information, services, medicines and means to regulate childbirth in modern ways. They reflect the serious concern of governments with rapid population growth, and they are the main, and in many developing countries the only, instrument of demographic policy.
On the African continent, due to traditional mass attitudes towards large families, due to the predominance of the agrarian type of farming, where free child labor is valued, due to significant infant mortality, which determines the high birth rate, and due to a considerable number of other reasons, in many sub–Saharan African countries the policy of curbing demographic growth is stalling. Therefore, the positive Kenyan example of intra–family birth planning, which has not yet been covered in the domestic scientific literature, is of interest. It indicates that over the past half century there has been a noticeable demographic differentiation of the African countries, and Kenya is one of the few among the 55 states of the continent, where since the middle of the twentieth century the beginning of the restructuring of reproductive behavior was laid.
Russia’s Humanitarian Efforts and Its Distinctive Features: Syrian Conflict Case
Authors: Pakhomova Daria
Published: July 2023

Russia’s humanitarian aid is aimed at a wide range of countries and sometimes becomes a distinctive feature of Russia’s international activity. Russia has been giving assistance to the population of war-torn Syria for more than a decade, with the growing extent of engagement in the process of conflict settlement. The Donbass conflict is also characterized by progressive dynamics of Russian involvement. However, in the author’s view the Syrian case is more demonstrative for estimating Russia’s humanitarian work, first of all because Russia does not regard Syrians as compatriots, which is the case with Donbass. This allows to shape general view of the Russian approach to humanitarian assistance and to specify unique features of the country’s humanitarian experience, following the dynamics of Russia’s humanitarian aid depending on the depth of Russia’s engagement in the developments “on the ground”. Russia’s humanitarian work is strongly state-based; there is an inclination towards bilateral – rather than multilateral – interaction. Moreover, in many aspects Russia’s humanitarian activity is still mainly focused on Russian citizens who have found themselves in a dangerous situation. These are the reasons to consider that in its humanitarian efforts the Russian Federation is driven by the interest of strengthening its own positions. Such pattern falls into the Wilsonian approach to humanitarian aid. However, some Russian humanitarian initiatives (for example repatriation of children from Syria and Iraq) entail no evident practical benefit for the country and are allegedly motivated only by moral incentives. This is not typical of a state if analyzed within the realist concept.
Pre-Revolutionary (before 1917) Russian Historiography of the Hasmonean State: Directions, Themes, Researches
Authors: Karanaev Mikhail
Published: July 2023

In the paper Russian pre-revolutionary (before 1917) historiography of the Hasmonean state (167-63 BC) is considered. These works are divided by the author into four groups (categories) according to aims of the scholars within each group and their social-cultural environment. 1) “Theological” group is represented by the scientists from Orthodox seminaries and academies (T.I. Butkevich, I.G. Troitskiy, F.P. Arfaksadov et al.). These scholars referred to the history of Hasmoneans, which was already included in the historical narrative, for validate the biblical history within the Christian apologetics framework. 2) “Rational-critical” group is represented by the works of researchers who have received a university education and tended towards the materialistic concept of history. N.M. Nikolsky, A.I. Tyumenev and others embedded the content related to the Hasmonean state into formed by them rationalized concept of ancient and world history. 3) The “traditionalist” category merged articles and monographs of the bearers of the Jewish tradition, who had received both religious and secular education (S.M. Dubnov, M.Ya. Khashkes, Yu.I. Gessen, et al.). They referred to the Hasmonean history as to a period of Jewish independence and used it for the development of Jewish national secular identity in the Russian Empire at the beginning of the 20th century, as well as for the popularization of Jewish history as an organic part of the general historical process. 4) The “foreign” group, unlike the others, is distinguished not by the goal-setting principle, but by its generic characteristics. This group includes pre-revolutionary publications of foreign researchers in Russian (F.W. Farrar, E. Renan, J. Wellhausen, H. Hertz, et al.), which were most often used by representatives of other groups. As a result of the study, the conclusion is made about the greatest viability of the “rational-critical group”, which was developed during the Soviet period, while most representatives of other categories were excluded from the scientific environment, changed their views, or became part of the “bourgeois” historical science.
School Education in Colonial Kenya
Authors: Karpov Grigory A.
Published: July 2023

The article is devoted to the study of the system of school education in Kenya during the colonial era. The ideological basis of the educational policy of the British authorities has been studied. The main differences between state, missionary and independent African schools are traced. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the specifics of the learning process on the example of comparing European and African schools, including a huge disproportion in the amount of funding, differences in examination procedures, learning conditions, classroom equipment, content of school programs. The pioneers in spreading literacy among the natives were missionary communities. Protestant and Catholic schools combined religious education with the transfer of basic knowledge about medicine, hygiene, construction, and agriculture to the new flock. Ethnic and racial segregation was the norm in colonial society and limited the range of subjects taught to students of African descent. Since 1925, the Kenyan intelligentsia successfully sought to create their own educational institutions, where they independently determined the content of educational material, emphasizing the study of English and mathematics. The school system during this period of Kenyan history was part of the general system of imperial government and provided the training of the necessary personnel. The colonial legacy helped the authorities of independent Kenya in the second half of the 20th - early 21st centuries to achieve significant results in the field of education. Among its African neighbors, the country today remains the undisputed leader in the training of highly qualified specialists.

The Recruitment of Elitesto the Cabinets of Iran: a Biographical Analysis (1979–1989)
Authors: Vaskin Ilya
Published: July 2023

The article highlights the main patterns of recruiting ministers in the Iranian governments at 1979–1989. The work is based on the theoretical foundation of the study of the elites. Structural biographical analysis is the research method in the article. The paper analyzes the biographies of 183 ministers at the first 7 governments of Iran using aggregated form based on secondary data published by other researchers. The results of the work show that the first 3 years of the existence of the executive branch were the most conflicting: 5 governments existed consequently. 55–65% of all ministers had technical education. At the same time, the share of members of governments with humanitarian specialization decreased; the military and doctors had been replacing them. According to the place of education, the only balanced government was the Bazargan government, later the share of ministers with Iranian education increased, and with Western education decreased. The governments of Bazargan and the Council of the Islamic Revolution were balanced, where bureaucrats, scholars and professionals were relatively evenly represented. The main profession becomes bureaucratic. During this period, new elite groups emerged in governments: Shiite clergy and veterans of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The share of clergy from remains stable and fluctuates in the range of 9–14%. At the same time, the yield of veterans of the IRGC increases with each new government, reaching 21% in the second government of Mousavi. 60–70% of ministers came from regional capitals, and Tehran and Isfahan were the key provinces to recruit ministers.

Published: July 2023

Indonesia has introduced Islamic-based development programs, but challenges such as different interpretations, incompatibility between Islamic law and the national legal system, political influence, and the integration of Islamic values in sustainable development continue to hinder the implementation of Islamic legal approaches in regional development. This study aims to analyze the integration of Islamic legal concepts in regional development from an economic, social, political and environmental perspective and to identify concrete policies or programs that can be implemented to apply a holistic and sustainable approach to Islamic law in regional development. This research is categorized as normative legal research using primary and secondary legal materials in statutory and library documents (books, journals, reports and internet sources) and analyzed using a philosophical and analytic approach. According to the findings, the problem can be solved by creating an Islamic-based development program that considers economic, social, political, and environmental factors and guarantees the program's sustainability. Increasing community participation and involvement in the planning and implementing Islamic-based development programs and strengthening oversight of the use of funds and the environmental impact of development activities are possible solutions. Based on the findings of this research, it is recommended that a microfinance initiative based on Islamic principles be established in the area. Integrating Islamic principles and considering Indonesia's social diversity are prerequisites for the success of an Islamic legal approach to regional development.

Authors: Rizzo Amelia , Marra Patrizia
Published: July 2023

BACKGROUND. Few studies in the literature have related organisational well-being and temperament according to Cloninger's bio-psycho-social model.

OBJECTIVE. This paper investigates the relationship between dimensions of temperament (NS; HA; RD) and character (CO; SD; ST; P) and dimensions of organisational well-being in Obstetrics and Gynaecology personnel.

METHOD. Thirty-eight subjects, predominantly women (89.5%) aged between 18 and 63 years, participated in the study (M=50.20 SD= 9.81). The Temperament and Character Inventory of R. Cloninger et al. (1994) extended version and the C.I.V.I.T. questionnaire issued by the Independent Commission for the Evaluation, Transparency and Integrity of Public Administrations were used for the assessment.

RESULTS. The prevailing temperament in midwifery staff was Reward Dependence while the prevailing character was Cooperative. However, positive correlations emerged between Self-Directedness and positive perceptions of the context and work and negative correlations between Self-Directedness and negative perceptions of job security and discrimination.

CONCLUSIONS. Work well-being may be related to certain character traits rather than temperament and this correlation suggests a connection between personality and adaptation.

Abstract. The purpose of the study is hybridization and breeding of tree species resistant to environmental conditions in conditions of desertification. Research methodology included the study of the growth, condition and durability of forms and hybrids, the identification of biological properties (drought, salt and frost resistance), the quality of trunks and decorativeness, the selection of parent pairs for crossing; the development of crossing techniques on cut branches. The order of work consisted of harvesting plant catkins, collecting pollen and cleaning it from impurities, harvesting branches and pollen, determining the viability of pollen, applying it to the mature stigma of the plant. The flowers of the ilmovs are bisexual, as a result of which they were castrated during crosses. Results. Parental pairs were selected and hybridization was carried out among the following breeds: Ulmus carpinifolia, Ulmus laevis, Ulmus pumila, Populus alba, Populus alba × Populus alba v. Populus piramidalis, Populus deltoides, Populus bolleana, Populus berolinensis, Populus nivea × Populus tremula, Populus nigra piramidalis. Hybrid seedlings were obtained between different types of elms and between different types of poplars. The variant of crossing the white poplar Pervenets Uzbekistana with the Bolle F. pyramidal poplar (FGUP “Volgogradskoe”) showed the best results. Scientific novelty lies in the selection of breeding material resistant to various stress factors. Selection of initial and promising varieties of tree crops for further use in breeding, introduction, competitive and production tests.

The problem of reproduction of cattle in the Russian Federation remains relevant from year to year and is characterized by a rather low yield of offspring per 100 queens, which causes significant economic damage. The solution to this problem is associated with an increase in the efficiency of the implementation of the genetically determined reproductive capabilities of animals. Scientific novelty lies in the study of molecular genetic mechanisms of cattle fertility control. The aim of the work was to identify allelic variants of SNPs associated with the reproductive ability of cattle. Whole genome genotyping was performed. Research methods. The studies were carried out on cows of the Holsteinized Black-and-White breed of the Ural type. The genetic profile of Black-and-White animals has been studied, SNP significantly associated with the reproductive qualities of cows have been identified, genetic variants and combinations of DNA markers have been identified that improve the reproductive qualities of cows. Results. In terms of reproduction indicators (multiplicity of insemination, duration of the service period), it was found that the multiplicity of insemination for animals with the genotype ARS-BFGL-NGS-71623GG was 1.33, which is lower compared to the genotypes ARS-BFGL-NGS-71623AA and ARS-BFGL- NGS-71623AG by 0.27 and 0.5 units. Heifers with the ARS-BFGL-NGS-85003AC genotype are inseminated at an earlier age than other animals. A significant difference in live weight at the first insemination was noted only for the ARS-BFGL-NGS-71623 gene. It is recommended to select animals with homozygous genotype ARS-BFGL-NGS-71623GG to improve the reproductive ability of cows in the breeding nucleus.

Abstract. The aim is the study of the parameters of the influence of the structure of investments in fixed assets of agriculture of the Russian Federation by sources of financing as an external factor in the development of the industry. Methods. Based on Rosstat data, time series of indicators of agriculture in Russia for 1995–2021 have been compiled and chain growth rates have been calculated. The periodization of long dynamic series of investments in fixed assets of agriculture in Russia based on the predominance of own and attracted funds of organizations (1995–2005 – the predominance of own funds, 2006–2013 – predominance of attracted funds, 2014–2021 – predominance of own funds). Within each stage, average growth rates are calculated and analyzed; transformation parameters are determined. Results. Based on the chain dynamics of indicators of agriculture in Russia, on the basis of scientifically based approaches and expert assessments, the criteria and parameters of transformation in agriculture have been identified. The criterion of transformation in agriculture is the change of the predominant share of own or borrowed funds in the financial structure of capital investments. Three stages of transformation are highlighted. At the stage of the predominance of attracted funds, the average rate increased for the sown areas of grain and leguminous crops, the gross harvest of sugar beet, sunflower seeds, potatoes, as well as the number of pigs, sheep and goats, the production of livestock and poultry for slaughter (in slaughter weight), eggs and wool. The efficiency of transformation is estimated by the average rate of yield of grain and leguminous crops, sugar beet, sunflower seeds and potatoes. The elasticity coefficient for a number of indicators can also be used as a transformation parameter. The scientific novelty lies in a new methodological approach for the periodization of the transformation of investments in agriculture based on the proposed criterion for identifying parameters.

This article examines efforts to tackle sexual violence against children in West Aceh from the perspective of Islamic law. This writing aims to find out the problem of sexual violence against children and how the proposed solution is based on the view of Islamic law. The data collection method in this article is using library research. Secondary data was obtained by studying the rules and regulations and literature related to this article. Cases of sexual violence against children in 2021 West Aceh Regency based on data from the Integrated Service Center for the Empowerment of Women and Children (P2TP2A) West Aceh had 5 cases of sexual violence. The percentage of cases of sexual violence is relatively high, namely 27.7 percent of the total 18 cases of violence against children. The sanctions that can be imposed on perpetrators of sexual violence against children in Islam are jarimah hudud, jarimah qishas and diat, and jarimah ta'zir. Special sanctions for perpetrators of child sexual violence can be subject to criminal sanctions in the form of Takzir whose determination of punishment is the right of ulil amri. The countermeasures that can be carried out are by socializing the 4P program (Assistance, Protection, Imposition of Sanctions, and Recovery) to the community.

Luasnya areal lahan perkebunan kelapa sawit dan juga besarnya produksi, tidak berbanding lurus dengan keadaan pada petani kelapa sawit swadaya di Desa Bangko Lestari Kecamatan Bangko Pusako. Permasalahan yang dihadapi petani kelapa sawit yaitu salah satunya pemasaran tandan buah segar (TBS), dimana petani kelapa sawit di Desa Bangko Lestari sangat bergantung pada Tauke kelapa sawit. Jika hal ini terus terjadi maka akan tercipta hubungan patron-klien. Namun, hubungan ini menempatkan petani kelapa sawit pada posisi yang kurang menguntungkan dalam transaksi, dimana petani kelapa sawit mempunyai posisi yang paling lemah. Pada umumnya Tauke kelapa sawit juga merangkap sebagai pemberi dana pinjaman untuk kebutuhan sehari-hari para petani kelapa sawit dan bersedia meminjamkan dana dengan sistem bayar belakang kepada petani kelapa sawit. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis sebaran tingkat kepuasan dan harapan petani kelapa sawit terhadap atribut pedagang pengepul di Desa Bangko Lestari Kecamatan Bangko Pusako Kabupaten Rokan Hilir. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada tahun 2021-2022. Data yang digunakan adalah data primer dan data sekunder dengan teknik pengambilan sampel yaitu Purposive Sampling. Kriteria yang di ambil yaitu petani swadaya yang melakukan hubungan patron klien dan umur kelapa sawit yang 7-20 tahun. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode survei dengan analisis deskriptif kuantitatif.  Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tingkat kepuasan dan tingkat harapan tinggi, dimana pada analisis diagram kartesius terdapat delapan atribut dari tiga belas atribut Tauke kelapa sawit berada pada kuadran II. Atribut yang berada pada kuadran II yaitu pembayaran tunai, pemberian pinjaman, pemberian THR, pelayanan cepat dan baik, ketersediaan sarana produksi, menepati kesepakatan/janji, harga sawit mahal dan melakukan sortasi. Hal ini merupakan keuntungan yang dimiliki Tauke kelapa sawit.
Analisis Faktor-Faktor Penyebab, Tahapan Dan Dinamika Konflik Perkebunan Kelapa Sawit Di Desa Talang Jerinjing Kecamatan Rengat Barat Kabupaten Indragiri Hulu

Published: July 2023

Kabupaten Indragiri Hulu sebagai kabupaten penyumbang konflik perkebunan nomor tiga terbesar di Riau memiliki 7 kasus konflik perkebunan, termasuk konflik perkebunan untuk komoditi kelapa sawit. Salah satu konflik lahan yaitu konflik lahan perkebunan kelapa sawit di Desa Talang Jerinjing, yang terjadi sejak lama antara masyarakat desa dengan pihak PT Alam Sari Lestari. Penelitian bertujuan untuk (1) mengetahui faktor-faktor penyebab konflik dan menganalisis pohon konflik perkebunan, (2) menganalisis tahapan dan dinamika konflik dari konflik lahan perkebunan kelapa sawit yang terjadi. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian studi kasus dengan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif. Pengujian validasi data dilakukan secara triangulasi. Empat faktor penyebab konflik perkebunan yaitu batas lahan ber HGU milik perusahaan yang tidak jelas, perlawanan pihak masyarakat dengan perusahaan, pertentangan masyarakat dengan perusahaan berlangsung lama dan penggunaan tindakan kekerasan oleh pihak yang terlibat. Hasil analisis pohon konflik yaitu empat faktor penyebab konflik (akar konflik), tumpang tindih kepemilikan tanah (masalah inti), tidak ada kejelasan status lahan milik masyarakat, masyarakat tidak bisa mengelola lahan yang sudah digarap dan perusahaan tidak bisa menggarap lahan milik mereka (daun konflik). Tahapan konflik yaitu prakonflik (masyarakat menggarap lahan terlantar berHGU milik PT Alam Sari Lestari), konfrontasi (masyarakat menggunakan jalur hukum untuk menyelesaikan konflik dan mempertahankan hak mereka), krisis (perusahaan melarang masyarakat melanjutkan kegiatan penggarapan melalui LSM Laskar Melayu Riau Bersatu Kabupaten Indragiri Hulu), dan pasca konflik (konflik belum menemukan penyelesaian). Dinamika konflik menunjukkan bahwa sikap yang diambil perusahaan dengan upaya mempertahankan lahan seluas kurang lebih 4.368,27 Ha ini memunculkan sikap tidak terima dan tidak adil yang dirasakan oleh masyarakat. Perilaku keseharian masih dalam kondisi seperti biasa, sedangkan kontradiksi menghasilkan situasi yang memanas, masyarakat tetap memperjuangkan lahan yang telah digarapnya karena perusahaan tidak ingin melepaskan lahan tersebut kepada masyarakat meskipun telah melewati proses upaya penyelesaian dengan instansi.
