Published: January 2025

1Günümüzde Batı Trakya Müslüman Türk Azınlığının (BTMTA) temel meselelerinden birisi azınlık eğitimidir. Çalışma, mevcut akademik kaynakların güncellenmesi doğrultusunda literatüre katkı sunmayı hedeflemektedir. Çalışmada Yunanistan’ın Avrupa Birliği (AB) üyeliğinin, azınlık eğitimine olan etkilerine cevap arayacaktır. Bu doğrultuda öncelikle azınlık eğitimi tarihi süreç içinde detaylandırılarak, sorunlar ve bu sorunların etkileri ortaya konacaktır. Sorunlar anaokulu seviyesinden, üniversite seviyesine kadar kategorik olarak incelenmektedir. Eğitim konusunda çok hassas olan azınlık toplumu bu konuda 1923 yılından bu yana sürekli bir mücadele halindedir. Örneğin, 1920 yılından itibaren değişik zamanlarda farklı müdahaleler yoluyla azınlık eğitimi sürekli olarak değiştirilmiştir. En önemli müdahalelerden ilki, 1936 yılında iktidara gelen ve 5 yıl Yunanistan’ı dikta rejimi ile yöneten Ioannis Metaksas döneminde yaşanmıştır. Yunanistan İç Savaşı yıllarında (1946-1949) azınlık eğitimi tamamen Yunanistan devleti kontrolüne geçmiştir. 1950’de Gümülcine (Komotini) ve daha sonra da İskeçe’de (Ksanthi) ilk defa iki azınlık ortaokulu açılmıştır. 1968 yılında BTMTA Selanik Özel Pedagoji Akademisi (SÖPA) kurulmuştur. 1967 yılında Cunta Hükümeti azınlık okul encümen kurullarının geçerli olması için valilik onayı istemiş ve azınlık okullarının tabelalarında bulunan Türk ibaresi Azınlık ibaresi ile değiştirilmiştir. Daha sonraki yıllarda da Trakya’daki Müslüman Azınlık Çocuklarının Eğitimi (PEM) ve Trakya’daki Azınlık Çocuklarının Eğitimi Destek Merkezi (KESPEM) olarak adlandırılan iki eğitim sistemi, azınlık okullarında uygulamaya sokulmuştur.

Published: January 2025

Bu çalışma, sosyal medya kullanım amaçlarının ve bağımlılığının müşteri satın alma davranışı üzerindeki etkisini incelemektedir. Sosyal medya günlük yaşamın ayrılmaz bir parçası haline geldikçe, satın alma da dahil olmak üzere çeşitli müşteri davranışlarını etkilemektedir. Araştırmanın evreni sosyal medya kullanıcılarıdır. Örneklem web üzerinden ulaşılabilen 393 kişiden oluşmaktadır. Örneklemden elde edilen veriler kullanılarak, ölçeği doğrulamak ve temel faktörleri belirlemek için Açıklayıcı Faktör Analizi (AFA) ve Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi (DFA) yapılmıştır. Bulgular, sosyal medya bağımlılığının satın alma davranışını önemli ölçüde yönlendirdiğini, bilgi arama davranışının da satın alma kararlarını etkilediğini göstermektedir. Ancak, sosyal medyayı boş zaman için kullanmanın satın alma davranışları üzerinde önemli bir etkisi yoktur. Bu sonuçlar, pazarlamacıların sosyal medyayı bilgi toplamak için kullanan müşterilere odaklanmaları gerektiğini, çünkü bu müşterilerin hedeflenen içeriğe daha duyarlı olduklarını göstermektedir. Bu çalışma, farklı sosyal medya kullanım amaçlarının müşteri davranışlarını nasıl etkilediğini anlamak için değerli bilgiler sunmakta ve dijital ortamlardaki pazarlama stratejileri için potansiyel etkileri vurgulamaktadır.
AI vs Humans Dealing with Language Tasks: Unlocking Some New Pedagogical Dimensions in TEFL Practices
Authors: Prodanović Marijana , Pukienė Asta , Brazauskaitė-Zubavičienė Ieva
Published: January 2025

In the era where AI has become an omnipresent phenomenon influencing many spheres of human endeavour, it appears that education, and within its borders, language teaching-learning practices, are no exception. With the strong potential of AI in mind, but also taking into consideration the fact that language is a fluid, and delicate concept, the paper aims to contrast some AI with human practices. Namely, it sheds light on how potentially successful the compared entities, i.e. AI supported technology and EFL students, can be when solving some language tasks brimming with collocations and idioms, known as challenging and usually requiring deeper understanding of the intended message. Upon comparing the collected samples, and commenting on strengths and weaknesses of both sides, the paper concludes by pointing to some pedagogical implications that could potentially improve our existing TEFL practices.
Professional Burnout in Educational Work of Teachers and Expert Associates
Authors: Čirić Nedim , Hozanović Melisa , Hatunić Ahmed
Published: January 2025

The first observations about the consequences of long-term professional stress began in the seventies of the last century in the professional work of health workers. The syndrome of burnout at work (burnout), which is characterized as a state of emotional, mental and physical exhaustion, has been presented in many studies as a consequence of long-term exhaustion and overload of experts during work. The goal of this paper was to present results that indicate the presence, nature and consequences of professional burnout of professional associates and teachers in the educational context through previous research. Research results indicate that professional burnout of teachers and professional associates often indicates the presence of feelings of exhaustion, lack of motivation, signs of frustration, helplessness, etc. which often has consequences for productivity at work, relationships with others and general well-being. Given that professional burnout can lead to a loss of desire for academic advancement, social relationships, communication, etc. which can be obstacles and difficulties that will hinder professional and quality educational work, it is necessary to define new recommendations that can prevent professional burnout, as well as prevent the reduction of symptoms of burnout and its manifestation in all spheres of life of professionals involved in educational work.
Violence and Persons with Disabilities: Abusing as Destiny
Authors: Martinec Renata
Published: January 2025

People with disabilities are “easy targets” because they often lack the acquired knowledge of appropriate or unacceptable behaviour, do not have sufficient acquired social skills, or sometimes believe that because of their disorders and dependence on others, they must be conciliatory and have no right to protest or rebel. Also, a physical or psychological deviation that sometimes suggests a person’s weakness in others can cause a sense of dominance and superiority, which in certain situations can turn into the intention of physical or emotional abuse. Unfortunately, statistics show that a greater number of people with disabilities have faced some types of violence to a greater or lesser extent, especially in the female population. Violence can have numerous and psychophysical severe consequences on people who are already struggling with health, functional and/or mental disorders and consequently have difficulties in realizing the required quality of life and human rights. For this reason, the task of the entire society should be aimed at preventing a spiral mechanism in which one fateful unfavourable situation, such as disability, triggers a series of others. Regardless of its potential, every being deserves care and protection, especially vulnerable groups whose suffering, pain or limitations are seen as their inevitable destiny. However, the strength, fighting spirit and dedication shown by people with disabilities are proof of their magnificence, which should not be rewarded with verbal or physical blows, but with tolerance, respect, and appreciation.
Students’ Reactions to Peer Violence in Relation to Their Perception of Risk and Protective Factors in the School Environment
Authors: Serdar Čerpnjak Katarina , Belošević Matea , Ferić Martina
Published: January 2025

Global data shows that peer violence and bullying are widespread problems and that the consequences of these behaviours are significant for the future development of children and youth. This study aims to determine: (1) whether there are differences in the witnessing of peer violence depending on the educational level and gender of the students, (2) whether there are differences in students’ reactions to peer violence depending on educational level, gender, and perceptions of risk and protective factors in the school environment. The sample consisted of 2,188 students (aged 10 to 19 years; 48,1% female) in the towns of Jastrebarsko and Samobor. The modified version of the CTC Youth Survey was used. The following statistical methods and analyses were used: descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U test, Chi-square test and Cramer’s V. The results showed that a higher percentage of elementary school students reported witnessing peer violence than high school students. In terms of response to peer violence, elementary school students were more likely than high school students to ignore peer violence as if it was none of their business, to be amused, but also to try to do something to prevent peer violence. Regarding gender differences in students’ responses to peer violence, it was found among elementary and high school students that boys tended to ignore peer violence as if it was none of their business and that they often “join in the party”. Concerning protective factors in the school environment,it was found that elementary and high school students who perceive more opportunities and recognition for prosocial involvement at school are more likely to try to take action against peer violence. On the other hand, elementary school students who had not experienced academic failure were found to be more likely to react actively to stop peer violence, while high school students did not differ in their reaction to peer violence, regardless of whether or not they had experienced academic failure. The results of this study could provide a basis for planning evidence-based prevention interventions to promote positive development and/or prevent peer violence in children and youth.
Childhood and Media: Occurring of the Peer Violence
Authors: Eret Lidija
Published: January 2025

Due to the increasing digitalisation, we also observe increased peer aggression among children and young people, and this paper points to the links between these two phenomena of the modern age. The specific subject of interest is the results of contemporary studies in the field of neuroscience that indicate the negative influence of digital media on cognitive function development and other sciences that indicate the link between exposure to digital media and mental and physical disorders. As modern neuroscience and educational sciences evince that the cause of the deterioration of neuronal cells is the loss of self-control and the appearance of stress, it is certainly noticeable that the aggressiveness of young generations arises precisely because of the lack of action mechanisms within the everyday environment. Digital media are participants in this phenomenon because they cause addictions that lead to a lack of self-control or because they distort through social media the image of real life and social relationships. Whether it is the aggressiveness to which boys or the self-destructiveness to which girls are more prone, digital media is proving to be the cause of other physical and psychological ailments among children and young people. The conclusion of this paper is also derived from the contemporary studies findings that draw attention to a critical and purposeful approach to digital media and that an active life in the sense of daily and consistent physical activity and contact participation in the personal social environments of children and young people is one of the quality solutions to this problem.
Linguo-Stylistic Interpretation of the Poems “Zapis o očima” (Text About the Eyes) by Mak Dizdar and “Stećak” (Tombstone) by Skender Kulenović
Authors: Banjić Amira
Published: January 2025

This paper offers a linguo-stylistic interpretation of two poems: Zapis o očima (Text about the Eyes) by Mehmedalija Mak Dizdar and Stećak (Tombstone) by Skender Kulenović. The goal of the study is to highlight the unique stylistic techniques employed by the poets and the expressive effects these techniques achieve. The paper begins with a brief theoretical overview of linguo-stylistics and the concept of style. The poetry of Mak Dizdar and Skender Kulenović can be analyzed on multiple linguistic levels, and this paper focuses on examining the most prominent stylistic elements at the phonetic-phonological, morphological, syntactic, and lexical levels. Both poems share a common thread in their linguistic portrayal of the universal fate of the Bosnian people and humanity at large, where both archaic language features and the modern expression of Bosnian are functionally integrated.
Gender Linguistics in Croatia - Where Did We Start from and Where Are We Headed?
Authors: Mikić Čolić Ana
Published: January 2025

The study of what is masculine and feminine in language is entering its sixth decade. Ever since Robin Lakoff’s 1973 seminal paper Language and Woman’s Place, there is talk of women’s language, i.e. differences between men’s and women’s language, which, as Lakoff argues, stem from male domination in society, i.e. female lack of power the rein. Subject to strict social control, women’s language is thus taken to encompass both language restricted in use to women, and that used to describe women. It is the latter that had sparked the initial probes into gender-related linguistic topics in Croatia. The 1970s, and much more the 1980s had seen a rise in writing on gender-marking word formation, i.e. the formation of female counterparts of terms denoting professions, which has quietly ushered „women’s topics“ into Croatian linguistics. This paper gives an overview of research on the relationship of language and gender in Croatia from its inception to the present day. Studies focusing on language and gender published in Croatia are analysed and discussed from the perspective and various linguistic levels and disciplines- grammar, phraseology, terminology, pragmalinguistics and sociolinguistics.

Authors: Hilman Luthfil Hadi Muhammad Wafi , Kurniaji Jermanda Ridwan , Hidayat Syamsul
Published: January 2025

During the holy month of Ramadan, Indonesia experiences various unique cultural phenomena, one of which is the popular activity known as ngabuburit, or spending the late afternoon hours before breaking the fast. Common ngabuburit activities include reciting the Quran (tadarus) and hunting for takjil (light meals for breaking the fast). The tradition of sharing takjil has gained widespread attention across communities, symbolizing a spirit of generosity and sensitivity to social conditions, values that are deeply embedded in Islamic teachings. This study uses a qualitative research approach, integrating field data and literature review, to examine the social, economic, cultural, and educational impacts of takjil distribution during Ramadan. The research specifically considers the tradition's basis in hadith (Prophet Muhammad’s teachings) and its practical significance in Indonesian society. The findings highlight multiple benefits: economically, it supports local vendors and fosters financial circulation; socially, it enhances solidarity and strengthens community bonds; culturally, it preserves an important tradition; and educationally, it models charity and social responsibility for younger generations. Moreover, this practice fosters spiritual growth, as it is believed to increase faith, earn divine love from Allah and His Messenger, promote ukhuwah (brotherhood), purify intentions, and encourage mutual support and tolerance. By connecting religious values with social practices, the tradition of sharing takjil reinforces Indonesia’s collective identity and exemplifies the community's commitment to Islam’s principles of compassion and unity.
Toward merging MOPEX and CAMELS hydrometeorological datasets: compatibility and statistical comparison
Authors: Sink Katharine Owen , Brikowski Tom
Published: January 2025

Abstract. This study compares two large hydrometeorological datasets, the Model Parameter Estimation Experiment (MOPEX), and the Catchment Attributes and Meteorology for Large-sample Studies (CAMELS), focusing on 47 shared watersheds within the continental United States. The evaluation spans daily, monthly, seasonal, and annual scales for the overlapping water years of 1981 to 2000. Spatial aggregations are conducted based on Köppen-Geiger climate regions along with annual Budyko evaporative and aridity indices. Results indicate significant differences between the datasets at daily timesteps, highlighting the challenge of high temporal resolution data reconciliation; however, compatibility markedly improves with temporal aggregation at monthly, seasonal, and annual scales. While MOPEX shows a warm bias for temperature and CAMELS shows a wet bias for precipitation, statistical analyses demonstrate that both datasets are representative of climatic conditions and extreme events. Our findings validate the results of previous research employing either dataset. Furthermore, this study serves as a foundation for the merging and extension of MOPEX and CAMELS datasets.

Published: January 2025

People with disabilities in Indonesia still often face limitations in accessing public facilities that meet their needs. This highlights the importance of providing disability support facilities that meet standards, especially in public spaces, for community interaction. One example of a public facility that accommodates the community is an art building, the Dharma Negara Alaya (DNA) Arts Building, located in Denpasar City, Bali Province. This study aims to analyze the standardization of supporting facilities for people with disabilities in the Dharma Negara Alaya Arts Building, focusing on accessible toilet facilities. The analysis was carried out based on the Regulation of the Minister of Public Works Number 30 of 2006, which regulates technical guidelines for facilities and accessibility in building structures and the environment. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach through direct observation and interviews with building users to evaluate the adequacy and suitability of the design of accessible toilet facilities. The study results on the Implementation of accessible toilet facilities in the Alaya Building have followed the standards by the Regulation of the Minister of Public Works of 2006 concerning Guidelines for Technical Requirements for Buildings, and the availability of toilet facilities has been met. However, some design deficiencies still need to be fixed or improved, such as the use of door materials, the room size not yet optimal for standard movement, and no elbow ramps to help wheelchair users access. There are no sanitary facilities or special washbasins for people with disabilities. This research is expected to provide insight into fulfilling the needs of inclusive design for people with disabilities and provide recommendations for improving accessibility at the Dharma Negara Alaya Arts Building, especially for accessible toilet facilities.

Hot-blast stoves heated by blast furnace gas are used to heat blast furnace air. Increasing the combustion temperature of blast furnace gas by raising the temperature of combustion components before hot-blast stoves allows an increase in the heating temperature of blast-furnace air. However, the relatively low temperature of the exhaust flue gases of hot-blast stoves limits the possibility of increasing the heating temperature of combustion components. The research aims to overcome this limitation by equipping the heat recovery system of flue gases with a heat generator heated by blast furnace gas. The flue gases of the heat generator mix up with the flue gases of hot-blast stoves and their temperature increases. The flue gas mixture is then fed to heat exchangers to heat blast furnace gas and air before they burn in the hot-blast stoves. The technical solutions developed by the authors make it possible to increase the heating temperature of combustion components by 140 °C, reach a temperature of blast-furnace air up to 1210-1220 °C and provide coke savings up to 3.1- 4.2 %.

Authors: Zuowei Pan
Published: January 2025

High-voltage switchgear plays a crucial role in modern industrial and electrical systems, used for controlling and safeguarding electrical equipment from overloads, short circuits, and other electrical faults. However, these switchgears generate significant heat during operation, making accurate prediction and timely alerting of abnormal temperature changes essential for preventing equipment overheating and extending its lifespan. To establish an efficient temperature warning system, real-time temperature data from optic fiber temperature sensing system was studied in this work. Initially, multi-type machine learning algorithms including Lasso Regression, Random Forest, AdaBoost, SVM, KNN, and GradientBoost were tested and compared. Experimental results revealed that the Random Forest algorithm performed the best in predicting high-voltage switchgear temperatures. By combining predictions from multiple decision trees, this algorithm effectively captures complex temperature variations, providing highly precise forecasts. Leveraging the predictive capabilities of the Random Forest model, temperature warnings were generated for different time intervals. Experimental findings demonstrate that the Random Forest algorithm could effectively forecast temperature trends for 10 minutes, 2, 4, and 8 hours ahead, thereby enabling timely detection of potential overheating risks and facilitating necessary maintenance measures.

Published: January 2025

In the recent world of digital transformation, securing critical infrastructures such as power grids, transportation systems, and communication networks has become paramount. The conventional methods for access control, which largely depend on centralized models, are increasingly vulnerable to cyber-attacks and data breaches. This paper introduces a novel approach to enhance the security of critical infrastructures using blockchain technology. By leveraging the inherent properties of blockchain, such as decentralization, transparency, and immutability, our method establishes a robust framework for access control. This decentralized access control system (DACS) utilizes smart contracts to automate and enforce access policies without the need for a central authority. The blockchain-based system ensures that all access requests and approvals are recorded on a tamper-proof ledger, enhancing the auditability and accountability of the access control process. We evaluate the performance of our proposed system through simulations that demonstrate its resilience against common security threats, including unauthorized access and insider attacks. Additionally, the system's scalability and efficiency in handling large-scale networks are analysed. Our findings indicate that blockchain-based access control significantly enhances the security posture of critical infrastructures while ensuring compliance with stringent regulatory requirements.
