Authors: Drumond Rafael Augusto Santos , Almeida Renan Pereira , Nascimento Nilo de Oliveira
Published: September 2023

Resumo A Nova Agenda Urbana da ONU penetra o planejamento urbano ao mesmo tempo que eventos extremos causados pelas mudanças climáticas. Diante do cenário de intensificação de inundações em Belo Horizonte – MG, o Plano Diretor aprovou instrumentos para mitigar tais impactos. por meio de descontos na Outorga Onerosa do Direto de Construir para novas edificações que utilizem “infraestruturas verdes e azuis”. Analisa-se a aplicabilidade desse incentivo pelo território, com base na comparação entre esses descontos e os custos das novas técnicas sustentáveis. Conclui-se que os instrumentos tendem a ser adotados onde o solo é mais valorizado, sendo insuficientes para grande parte da cidade, em especial as áreas de maior vulnerabilidade climática, que demandam intervenções mais diretas do poder público.
Segregação planejada nos primórdios de Brasília: o caso da vila Amauri
Authors: Fialho Átila Rezende , Silva Carolina Pescatori Cândido da
Published: September 2023

Resumo O presente estudo problematiza a segregação planejada em Brasília durante a sua construção, tendo como base o caso da vila Amauri, uma ocupação informal de candangos que existiu entre 1959 e 1960, próxima ao Congresso Nacional, em uma região que posteriormente e de modo planejado seria inundada pelas águas do lago Paranoá. Utilizamos autores clássicos da sociologia urbana para debater as categorias sociológicas da cidade, resgatando, em segundo lugar, estudos a respeito da visão dualista e excludente de discursos que pregavam a modernização. Por último, desenvolvemos uma discussão acerca de Brasília e a segregação planejada nos seus primórdios, evidenciando, por meio de relatos orais, uma apropriação do espaço mais plural e destoante do que aquela apregoada pelos idealizadores do projeto da capital.

Abstract Introduction COVID-19 causes multisystemic compromises, resulting in functional impairments, mainly related to the Activities of Daily Living (ADLs). Therefore, the occupational therapist is one of the professionals needed to favor the rehabilitation process. Objective To analyze the proportion of ADLs training and the main activities that were trained with patients with COVID-19. Method This is a documental study developed in a teaching hospital in the southeast region of Brazil. Occupational therapy records were analyzed in electronic medical records of patients admitted to COVID-19 infirmaries between June 2020 and January 2021. Results The prevalence of occupational therapy attendances was 53.1%. The patients who were prioritized were those restricted to bed, with worse functionality and longer hospital stay. In all, 413 attendances were performed; the average per patient was three, the minimum was one, and the maximum was 15. The proportion of ADLs training was 76.9%. The most trained activities in the infirmaries by the occupational therapy team were feeding (96.8%), personal hygiene (93.9%), and functional mobility (59.8%). Conclusion The development of this study promoted the discussion of the careful multidimensional analysis performed by occupational therapists to carry out ADLs training with patients diagnosed with Covid-19 hospitalized in wards. Furthermore, it brought important results related to the profile of the patients seen, the proportions of interventions aimed at ADLs training and the elements that guided this practice.

Published: September 2023

Resumo Introdução A identidade profissional é construída por diversos fatores, porém, no debate entre terapeutas ocupacionais, aparece uma divergência entre um desejo de uma identidade única e estabelecida ou identidades complexas e dinâmicas. Objetivo Compreender as percepções de estudantes de terapia ocupacional sobre a identidade profissional, definindo os elementos constitutivos desse processo. Método Pesquisa de método quantitativo-qualitativo e descritivo é composta por análises temáticas de um questionário on-line, respondido por 177 estudantes de cursos de graduação em terapia ocupacional de 23 Instituições de Ensino Superior brasileiras. Apresenta as análises de sete questões (abertas e/ou fechadas) em busca de elementos identitários, que foram categorizados tematicamente em: saberes, fazeres e posturas; públicos, demandas e especialidades; e contribuições da profissão. Resultados São revelados o uso de termos, valores e posturas profissionais (como atividade, ocupação, cuidado, inclusão, humanização e criatividade); públicos-alvo (como pessoas com dificuldades, deficiências e condições relacionadas à saúde, ao social e à educação); além de procedimentos e objetivos da prática (como autonomia, independência e qualidade de vida). Os resultados mostram a relação da identidade com a busca pelo reconhecimento social, os públicos com os quais a profissão se dedica, identifica demandas e constitui compromissos ético-políticos, além de posturas, valores, predominantemente relacionados à saúde e à reabilitação. Conclusão Os fazeres, saberes, posturas, públicos, demandas, especialidades e contribuições da profissão apareceram como elementos identitários da profissão e revelam, por meio dos interesses, definições e explicações sobre a profissão, a relação entre a construção de pertencimento e a multiplicidade de perspectivas epistêmicas internacionais e nacionais usadas de forma complementares e sem distinção aparente.

Published: September 2023

Abstract: Aim We investigate the length-weight relationship estimates of seventeen species caught using an artisanal purse seine in the Abrolhos Bank, a tropical estuarine complex in eastern Brazil. Methods From February 2012 to November 2013, fish were collected monthly using an artisanal small purse seine with a total of 84 fish landings. The fish were captured in mangrove margins during high tide and retrieved after six hours at depths ranging from 1.2 to 3 meters. Results A total of 4433 fish specimens from 17 species and nine families were sampled. The coefficient of determination ranged from 0.904 for Centropomus parallelus to 0.987 for Lutjanus cyanopterus. Species presented allometric growing, with Caranx latus, Lutjanus cyanopterus and M. curema exhibing negative allometric while all the other species presented positive allometric growing. We present first data in Brazil to L. cyanopterus and first data in the literature to Lutjanus alexandrei. Conclusions Our results provide novel data of biological attributes for 17 species. By understanding the length-weight relationships and growth patterns of these species, data at stock level may subside proper management initiatives such as fishing restrictions in fishing sites or seasons and mesh size limits.
North West Transport Hub: a new life for Derry∼Londonderry’s 150-year-old Waterside Station
Authors: Denvir Paul , Taylor David , Burnside Derek
Published: September 2023

A derelict 150-year-old railway station building in Northern Ireland has been reborn as a state-of-the-art multimodal transport hub with integrated rail, bus and active travel facilities. The 1875 Waterside Station in Derry∼Londonderry was abandoned after bomb damage in the 1970s, and its hastily built replacement nearby soon reached capacity. A European Union-funded project has restored the old rail terminus to its former role and added a bus station, park- and-ride facility and links to the city’s greenways for cyclists and pedestrians. This paper provides an overview of the North West Transport Hub project, from inception to completion in 2022.
The impact of building surface optimization and dynamic control on climate adaptation
Authors: Bai Chaoqin , Guo Yi
Published: September 2023

This study designed a simple residential unit model with dynamic climate-adaptive building skins and developed five skin control modes to analyse their impact on building climate adaptability. The main purpose of this study is to design building skin schemes and control modes with better climate adaptability. The experimental results show that the illumination and humidity control effect of the illumination mode group is the best, and its temperature control performance is also relatively good. It is the scheme with the best overall control performance. Its comfortable illumination time ratio and comfortable humidity time ratio are 65.2 and 76.3%, respectively, which are significantly higher than those of the other schemes. The absolute differences between the average room temperature and target temperature median values in the illumination mode group are 25.7 and 1.7°C, respectively, with minimal differences in temperature control effects compared with those of the other experimental groups. The experimental results indicate that controlling the opening and closing angles of building louvres according to the illumination of solar radiation can maximise the dynamic climate adaptability of the building. The results of this study will provide some useful references for improving the climate adaptability of civil buildings.

Background: Neural tube formation during embryonic life occurs throughout the intrauterine period. Many external and internal factors can cause neural tube defects (NTD). Broad classification of NTD divides the whole group into "Open" or "Closed" NTDs. In open NTDs, primary neurulation is disrupted and may form anencephaly, myelomeningocele (open spina bifida), and craniorachischisisis. A Neural lesion covered by skin forms a closed NTD develops, e.g., meningocele and spina bifida occulta. Case report: Present case 19+2 weeks male fetus, sent for autopsy from Obst & Gynecology depart to Anatomy department of Government Medical College, Chandigarh. The reason for MTP was diagnoses made on USG as occipital Meningocele. The mother was 26 years old with P1A1 obstetrical history. Advised termination of pregnancy. Past, parental, parental history was not suggestive of any causative factor. Findings: A small meningocele in the occipital region was seen on external examination. After the autopsy, no other associated anomaly was found except an incomplete fissure in the left lung. The meningocele showed herniation of the meninges; no brain tissue was found in the meningocele. On opening the cranial cavity, pachygyria in the cerebral hemispheres were seen. Conclusion: The present case was classified as Tectocerebellar Dysraphia with occipital encephalocele, as the fetus had pachygyria in the cerebral hemispheres. We could not find any suggestive cause of this defect. KEY WORDS: Meningocele, Encephalocele, NTD, Occipital.

Background: The mandibular canal is an intrabone sheltering the inferior alveolar nerve, and the mandibular foramen serves as a site for performing nerve block. Their positions vary according to populations and ages. Objectives: Determine through a scan study the position of the mandibular canal and its foramen in the melanoderma living in Benin. Methods: A retrospective, descriptive and analytical study was conducted over two years based on the exploitation of 60 digital files of facial scans. The determination of the position of the canal and the mandibular foramen was made from measurements of distances separating the canal from certain points of reference on the mandible. Results: The mandibular foramen, the position of which varies according to age, was situated in children under 10 years of age, in the vicinity of the union of the preceding third and lower half; between 10 and 20 years, it would be around the meeting of the 2/3 before and the lower half then around the 2/3 before and 2/3 below the mandibular ramus. Compared to the alveolar ridges, the mandibular canal was closer to the root of the third molar than it is to the other molars. It appeared more lateral at the level of the second and third molars. Conclusion: The position of the mandibular foramen and canal varies according to age in the beninese population. A preoperative CT (computed tomography) scan is desirable to avoid iatrogenic lesions to the inferior alveolar nerve. KEY WORDS: Canal, Foramen, Mandibular, Position, Beninese melanoderma.

Introduction: The calcaneal spur is the leading cause of heel pain. While prior anatomical studies have often utilized cadaveric specimens, there is a dearth of data correlating heel pain with the presence of a calcaneal spur across different age groups and gender. Aim: To evaluate the association of heel pain with plantar, dorsal, or both calcaneal spur and their correlation with age and gender in the North Indian population. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted at King George’s Medical University UP, Lucknow, from January 2023 to March 2023. Informed consent from the patients and ethical approval from the institutional research committee was obtained for this research. Lateral radiographs of ankle joints of 213 patients attending orthopedics OPD with complaints of heel pain were reviewed independently by two observers. The age and sex of the patients were also noted. Data were statistically analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) v23. Results: In 186 (87.32%) patients with heel pain, Calcaneal spur was present. A maximum number of subjects with heel pain were noticed in the age group 51-60 years for both males and females. Plantar and dorsal spurs were highly prevalent in males than females. Plantar spurs were found to be more common than dorsal spurs. Conclusion: Most heel pains were associated with a spur, and the prevalence of spur differed between men and women due to differences in their daily activities and occupation. This study provides vital information for orthopedic surgeons treating heel pain patients daily. KEY WORDS: plantar spur, dorsal spur, heel, pain, calcaneum.

Background: Retromolar triangle exhibits great variation related with the 3rd molar presence, their impactation grade, its loss. RMT bone can be used as autological graft. RMT presents foramina of variable number and dimension. RMF of variable diameter can be found in different regional populations. Present study explores a morphometric study of RMT and their relationship to the mandibular canal and other bony landmarks of clinical significance. Materials and Method: After ascertaining the gender distinction, bilateral retromolar triangle areas were demarcated and its margins were identified. Thereafter using a magnifying zoom lens of 10X, the RMF was located. The location of RMF was assessed, dimensions measured using syringe of various gauge and their distance from the bony landmarks were noted. Result: The present study describes RMT morphology as retromolar fossa, tubercle and plateau. Retromolar plateau (61 specimen) and retromolar fossa (60 specimen) were equi-proportion, retromolar tubercle being the least common (9 specimen). Prevalence of RMF in the present study is 60.77% (79 out of 130 specimen), being highest ever reported in the Indian population. Unilateral right sided foramina were exhibited by 9.2% (12 specimen) and left sided in 3.85% (5 specimen). Bilateral RMF was present in 47.69% (62 specimen). Most common variant exhibited was 26G(0.45mm) in 41.54% of the specimens. Presence of RMF at the apex is the most common variant (30%) followed by near the base (20%). On the right side there was statistically significant association between gender and location of RMF. Mean distance between the right third molar and RMF is 4.3±2.3 and Mean distance on the left between the third molar and RMF is 4.6 ±2.3mm Conclusion: Presence of RMF and its greater dimension represent a collateral neurovascular route of mandibular canal causing inadequate analgesia and vascular complications. The close proximity of RMF with 3rd molar especially “near the base” variant; may damage the structures passing through RMF during 3rd molar extraction and causes postoperative hematomas due to rupturing of the blood vessels. Henceforth, RMT and RMF is of clinical importance in Dental and Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeries. KEY WORDS: Retromolar triangle, Retromolar foramen, Mandibular canal, Third mandibular molar.

Authors: Jacobo-Pereira César , Muñiz-Castro Miguel Ángel , Muñoz-Urias Alejandro , Huerta-Martínez Francisco Martín , Vázquez-García J. Antonio , Flores Joel
Published: September 2023

Background: Magnolia pugana populations are declining, in addition, it is estimated that precipitation will decrease by up to 10 % and temperatures will increase (2-4 °C) under the most severe climate change scenario, which may affect germination.
Hypotheses: The interaction of increased temperature and decreased water potential reduces and delays the germination of Magnolia pugana seeds.
Studied species: Magnolia pugana, an endangered species endemic to western Mexico.
Study site and dates: Southern Zacatecas and central Jalisco, Mexico. April 2019.
Materials and methods: Seed viability was evaluated with tetrazolium test. In addition, the effects of temperature (24, 28, and 37 °C), water potential with PEG 8000 (0, -0.3, -0.6, -0.9, -1.2 MPa) and its interaction on the percentage and mean germination time were analyzed with factorial ANOVA tests.
Results: Viability was 80 %. The interactions between temperature and water potential on germination percentage and mean germination time were significant. There was no germination at 37 °C. The highest germination (78 %) was at 24 °C and -0.3 MPa, while the lowest (3 %) was at 28 °C and -0.6 MPa. The control treatment (24 °C and 0 MPa) facilitated germination in a shorter time (23.9 ± 1.5 days). At 28 °C and -0.9 MPa, the mean germination time was slowed by 1.5 times.
Conclusions: Magnolia pugana germinability was reduced by the interaction between low water potentials and increased temperature, conditions predicted by future climate change scenarios, therefore its vulnerability to extinction couldincrease.

Return to work after a mental crisis: the four-phase model of reintegration – A detailed discussion of findings from two studies Background: Mental illnesses are the second most common diagnostic cause of sick leave in Germany. They increase the risk of unemployment and early disability pension. At the same time, reintegration into the workplace after a mental crisis is experienced as a challenge and is accompanied by uncertainty. Methods: The four-phase model is based on the results of a qualitative study. In this study 20 return-to-work experts were interviewed. The interviews were analysed using the documentary method. This was supplemented by a qualitative longitudinal study in which 32 returned employees were interviewed. The employees‘ perspectives on the RTW process were reconstructed, which served to further differentiate the model. Results: The model provides concrete suggestions for how individual, social and workplace conditions can be created in the return to work process in order to sustainably support reintegration after a mental health crisis. The key aspects are systematized into four phases. The model focuses on professional support that assists the self-efficacy of the returnees and keeps an eye on working conditions and relationships. Conclusions: Sustainable reintegration is a systemic, open-ended and cooperative search process. It is flexible, oriented to the needs of the returnees and combines individual and company interests and resources. Good operational integration management not only depends on the motivation and behaviour of those returning or on the medical and therapeutic results, but is also shaped substantially by the working conditions and social interaction in the company and how the occupational integration management is organised. Keywords: return to work – mental health crisis – occupational reintegration – qualitative study – four-phase model
Valoraciones sobre cambio climático en estudiantes universitarios colombianos
Authors: Cruz Castaño Norella , Páramo Pablo
Published: September 2023

Este estudio explora las valoraciones de los estudiantes universitarios colombianos de diferentes áreas disciplinares, sobre el cambio climático (CC), frente a otras problemáticas que aquejan al país y al mundo, estableciendo a quién le atribuyen la responsabilidad sobre su solución. El muestreo fue por cuotas en 10 universidades públicas para un total de 1184 participantes quienes diligenciaron un cuestionario ad hoc compuesto por 12 preguntas. Los estudiantes fueron agrupados en tres áreas disciplinares: las afines a la naturaleza (CAN), las relacionadas a las ciencias sociales y psicología (CSP) y las otras disciplinas (O). Los resultados generales sugieren que los estudiantes creen que el CC existe y que se debe principalmente a causas humanas. Gran parte de los estudiantes considera que hay consenso científico de la existencia del fenómeno y que la acción de mitigación más importante es reducir el consumo en general. Igualmente, atribuyen la principal responsabilidad de actuar a sí mismos y ubican el cc en cuarta posición dentro de una jerarquía de 10 problemáticas globales a ser resueltas. Para analizar la incidencia del área disciplinar sobre las respuestas, una prueba Chi cuadrado arrojó diferencias significativas. Se discuten los hallazgos a partir de la importancia de transversalizar el CC en los currículos de todas las carreras, particularmente en las disciplinas ajenas a las ciencias naturales; posicionar el problema frente a otras problemáticas mundiales y ampliar la mirada de los estudiantes sobre las acciones que se han propuesto para mitigar el cc desde las diferentes posturas científicas.
Libros ilustrados de no ficción, alternativa al libro de texto: ¿deseo o realidad?
Authors: Trigo-Ibáñez Ester , Sánchez-Arjona Eva , Saiz-Pantoja Roberto
Published: September 2023

En el ámbito escolar existe un amplio debate sobre la pertinencia del libro de texto como principal material didáctico. En consecuencia, se han explorado alternativas muy diversas que buscan mejorar el proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje. Sin embargo, el escaso lugar que ha ocupado el libro ilustrado de no ficción en este debate nos sitúa frente a la necesidad de analizar el papel que este tipo de libros juega frente al libro de texto. Por este motivo, se ha llevado a cabo una investigación participativa etnográfica a través de entrevistas semiestructuradas a diferentes sujetos implicados en una experiencia de innovación basada en la implementación de libros ilustrados de no ficción en las aulas de Educación Primaria de un centro educativo de Cádiz. La información obtenida fue procesada con el programa de análisis cualitativo nvivo-12 y evidenció que los participantes encuentran más beneficios en los libros ilustrados de no ficción que en los libros de texto, lo cual argumenta a favor de utilizarlos como una alternativa para mejorar el rendimiento académico del alumnado. No obstante, lo piensan como una realidad utópica al detectar dificultades asociadas a la falta de formación y a recursos económicos. Se concluye que estos libros deben introducirse paulatinamente en los centros educativos como complemento a los libros de texto para modificar la cultura profesional bajo el apoyo de programas institucionales.

Authors: Romero Oliva Manuel Francisco , Florido Zarazaga Blanca , Heredia Ponce Hugo
Published: September 2023

Los postulados de la Agenda Europea 2030 y de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) evidencian la necesidad de afrontar la educación hacia una educación crítica, vinculada a los retos sociales de inclusión, justicia y sostenibilidad. Las prácticas letradas de la lectura, como base interpretativa de la realidad, han de estar orientadas hacia un aprendizaje contextualizado para afrontar situaciones que actualicen y autentifiquen el currículo. De esta manera, es necesario proponer nuevos materiales que superen la rigidez de los libros de textos y fomenten la construcción del conocimiento desde la curiosidad y la investigación del lector, así como la mediación del docente. Mediante una metodología de análisis documental de las principales editoriales por medio de parrilla de contenidos validada ad hoc, se ha diseñado una cartografía con un corpus de 51 libros ilustrados de no ficción (LINF). Los resultados se han desarrollado atendiendo a tres dimensiones que aglutinan los 17 ODS—justicia social; educación e igual; y medio ambiente—. Finalmente, las conclusiones pretenden ofrecer líneas educativas centradas en los resultados obtenidos en las escuelas con los LINF como alternativa a los libros de texto para una educación sostenible y justa desde la formación de lectores críticos en las diferentes áreas curriculares.
Stem cell therapy for degenerative disc disease: Bridging the gap between preclinical promise and clinical potential
Authors: Munda Matic , Velnar Tomaz
Published: September 2023

Stem cell therapy has gained attention in the field of regenerative medicine due to its potential to restore damaged tissue. This article focuses on the application of stem cell therapy for treating spinal pathologies, particularly intervertebral disc degeneration. Disc degeneration is a major cause of low back pain and is characterized by changes in the matrix and inflammation. Animal studies have demonstrated that the implantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) yields promising results, including increased disc height, improved hydration, and reduced inflammation. However, the number of clinical trials remains limited, necessitating further research to optimize MSCs therapy. Although preclinical studies offer valuable insights, caution is needed when extrapolating these findings to clinical practice. Stem cell therapy still faces multiple challenges, such as the durability and survival of MSCs upon implantation, uncertain pathways to discogenic differentiation, and the adverse impact of a harsh microenvironment on cell survival. The avascular nature of the intervertebral disc and dynamic loading conditions also affect the adaptation of transplanted cells. Despite these obstacles, stem cell therapy holds promise as a potential treatment for disc degeneration, and ongoing research aims to fill the current gap in conclusive data.

M&A Prediction Model-Based Investment Strategies
Authors: Фокина Элла , Елизарьев Георгий
Published: September 2023

In this paper, we study the development of investment strategies by predicting M&A deals using a logistic model with the financial and non-financial indicators of public companies. A random sample of 1510 acquired and non-acquired companies in Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Sweden, and Russia over the period 2000-2021 was used to design an M&A logit prediction model with high predictive power. The use of interaction variables significantly improved the model’s predictive power and allowed it to obtain more than 70% of correct out-of-sample predictions. Then the model’s ability to generate abnormal returns was tested with the help of an event study using share price data over the period 2011-2021. We show that an M&A prediction model can also efficiently generate abnormal returns (up to 49% on average) for a portfolio of companies that are expected to be acquired. Moreover, we uncover evidence that reduction in false positiveand negative predictions has a positive effect on abnormal returns due to the added model flexibility resulting from interaction terms. Our positive theoretical and empirical results can help both private and institutional investors to design investment strategies. In addition, there are indirect implications that support the practical importance of an efficient M&A prediction model.

between January 2015 and January 2023, and 304

infertile patients receiving treatment at the Süleyman

Demirel University Assisted Reproductive Techniques

(ART) Center.

Results

The mean age of the volunteers in the fertile group

was calculated as 30.68±4.70, while the mean age of

the volunteers in the infertile group was 32.50±5.35.

Blood group A was found to be dominant in both the

fertile and infertile groups, followed by blood groups

O, B, and AB. When compared based on education,

it was determined that the majority of patients in the

infertile group had received undergraduate or postgraduate

education. Income levels were categorized as

low, medium, and high income based on occupational

distributions in both groups, revealing that the majority

of participants in both groups had a low-income level.

Conclusion

Infertility is a multifactorial condition resulting from a

combination of various factors such as genetics, environment,

lifestyle, and health. The prevalence of infertility

increases with age, and blood group distribution

does not have a direct impact on infertility.

Perakende pazarında rekabet düzeyi oldukça yüksektir ve alışveriş merkezlerinin (AVM) uygun şekilde yönetilmesi ve ziyaretçi çekebilmesi için, tüketici ziyaretlerinin ana nedenlerinin anlaşılması gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, AVM ziyaret motivasyonlarının analiz edilmesi, demografik özelliklere göre farklılık gösterip göstermediğinin belirlenmesidir. Ahmed ve diğerlerinin (2007) Malezyalı tüketiciler için uyguladığı anket ifadelerinin yer aldığı “estetik, kaçış, akış, keşif, kolaylık” boyutları alınıştır. Arnold ve Reynolds (2003) tarafından geliştirilen hedonik tüketim ölçeğinden “sosyalleşme” boyutu eklenerek, toplam altı boyut bu çalışmaya konu edilmiştir. Google Formlar aracılığıyla hazırlanan çevrimiçi anket formunun linki, 2023 Mart ayında tesadüfi olmayan örnekleme yöntemi olan kolayda örnekleme ile, Rize Merkez ilçede yaşayan on sekiz yaş üzeri, Rize’deki Şimal AVM’yi en az bir kere ziyaret etmiş kişilerle paylaşılmıştır. 384 katılımcının verdiği cevaplar neticesinde elde edilen sonuçlara göre, Rize’de yaşayan AVM ziyaretçilerinin ziyaret motivasyonlarının başında “kolaylık” faktörü gelmektedir. Bunu “sosyal, kaçış, keşif, akış ve estetik” faktörleri takip etmektedir. Kadınlar erkeklere, evliler bekarlara, eğitim ve gelir seviyesi yüksek tüketiciler diğer demografik gruplara kıyasla, AVM ziyaret motivasyonlarından “estetik” unsurlardan etkilenmektedir. Bekarlar evlilere, çalışmayanlar çalışanlara ve genç tüketiciler ise diğer demografik gruplara kıyasla, AVM’ye çoğunlukla “sosyalleşmek” amacıyla gitmektedir. Ayrıca, sonuç kısmında yer alan, İngilizceden Türkçeye çevirisi yapıldıktan sonra, geçerlilik ve güvenilirlik analizleri ile elde edilen toplam 6 boyut ve 17 ifadeden oluşan “AVM Ziyaret Motivasyonu Ölçeği”, bundan sonraki çalışmalarda Türkiye’deki AVM ziyaretçilerinin motivasyonları ölçmede kullanılabilecektir.

Sunulan çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye merkezli bilişim işletmelerinin kalite yönetimi, ISO 9001 ve diğer ISO yönetim sistemi standartlarına olan ilgisinin araştırılmasıdır. Bu doğrultuda Bilişim 500 listelerinde yer alan Türkiye merkezli işletmeler üzerinden bir çalışma yürütülmüştür. Donanım, yazılım ve hizmet kategorilerindeki bilişim işletmelerinin kurumsal internet siteleri sistematik olarak incelenmiştir. Verilerin analizinde yöntem olarak içerik analizi uygulanmış, bilişim işletmelerinin kurumsal internet siteleri veri kaynağını oluşturmuştur. Çalışma sonuçları ve değerlendirmeleri kalite sertifikası, diğer sertifikalar, kalite politikası ve diğer politikalar bazında ayrı ayrı sunulmakla birlikte, bütüncül olarak incelendiğinde büyük ölçekli hizmet kategorisi işletmelerinin kalite ve diğer standartları daha fazla önemsediği görülmektedir. Hizmet kategorisinin hemen ardından donanım kategorisi işletmeleri sıradaki yerini almaktadır. Bununla birlikte, büyük yazılım işletmeleri donanım ve hizmet kategorilerine göre geridedir. Diğer küçük ölçek kategorilerinin önündeki küçük yazılım işletmeleri, büyük yazılım işletmeleriyle aynı değerlere ulaşmıştır. Bilişim işletmelerinin kurumsal internet sitelerinin analizi, kalite yönetimi ve diğer yönetim sistemi standartlarına olan ilgilerinin sunulması, politikalarının ele alınması, anılan kategorilerde büyük-küçük ölçekli işletmeler bazında değerlendirilmesi, çalışmanın önemini ve akademik alana katkısını göstermektedir.
