Published: March 2024

DOI: 10.17014/ijog.v7i4.150Gold mineralization at East Asia Minerals’ Binebase Prospect on Sangihe Island displays controls to mineralization typical of other Pacific Rim Intrusion related low sulphidation systems. Better gold grades are localized on EW dilatant structures at the intersection of NW trending structural corridors. Mineralization at Binebase was previously interpreted as being hosted in a high sulphidation style of alteration system. This assumption was based on surface observations of alunite and what was thought to be residual vuggy silica. Recent observations indicate that the alunite is a supergene mineral in nature and that the vuggy silica is the boxworked remnants of silica + pyrite alteration. Precious metal grades decline moving away from feeder structures and there has been significant supergene enrichment of gold in the oxide zone. Exploration drilling completed in 2008 by East Asia Minerals Indonesia resulted in an inferred resource of approximately 835,000 oz of contained gold at a cut off grade of 0.25 g/t Au. This resource included both oxide and hypogene sulphide mineralization. Drilling was reinitiated in 2011 to change the inferred to indicated resource, that drilling programme continued at the time of this publication. Various geophysical techniques were employed at both prospect and regional scales to aid exploration. Ground magnetics defined hydrothermal alteration and magnetite destruction which was coincident with mineralization at both Binebase and Bawone and an Induced Polarisation survey also produced an anomaly which was coincident with disseminated fine sulphide associated with clay alteration within the hydrothermal alteration. The southern part of the island was covered by an airborne geophysical survey in an attempt to understand the regional structural controls on mineralization and to define additional areas of hydrothermal alteration.

Published: March 2024

DOI: 10.17014/ijog.v8i1.151Kaliwangu Formation cropping out around Sumedang area contains mollusk fossils dominated by gastropods and bivalves. In terms of sequence stratigraphy, each sedimentary cycle generally consists of four shell bed types: Early Transgressive Systems Tract (Early TST) deposited above an erosional surface or sequence boundary, that is characterized by shell disarticulation, trace fossils, gravelly content, no fossil orientation direction, and concretion at the bottom; Late Transgressive Systems Tract (Late TST) identified by articulated (conjoined) specimen in its life position, that shows a low level abration and fragmentation, adult specimen with complete shells, and variation of taxa; Early Highstand Systems Tract (Early HST) characterized by adult taxa that was found locally in their life position with individual articulation, juvenile specimens frequently occured; Late Highstand Systems Tract (Late HST) determined as multiple-event concentrations, disarticulated shell domination, and some carbon or amber intercalation indicating terrestrial influence. Shell bed identification done on this rock unit identified nineteen sedimentary cycles.
Seasonal Mean Variability of Coral-based Sea Surface Salinity from Simeulue, Mentawai, Bunaken, and Bali
Authors: Cahyarini Sri Yudawati
Published: March 2024

DOI: 10.17014/ijog.v8i3.161Sea surface salinity is an important parameter in a climate study. Coral δ18O records δ18O seawater and sea surface temperature (SST). While, coral Sr/Ca records SST only commonly used in a paleoclimate study to reconstruct SST. Thus, paired coral δ18O and Sr/Ca can be used to reconstruct δ18O seawater. δ18O seawater and SSS is linearly correlated, thus reconstructed δ18O seawater further is used to reconstruct sea surface salinity (SSS). Instead of using coral Sr/Ca as SST recorder, paired model (grid) or measured SST data is used to reconstruct SSS. In this study, paired coral δ18O and grid SST data are presented to reconstruct SSS from several different locations across Indonesian sea i.e Simeulue, Mentawai, Bunaken, and Bali. Coral-based SSS reconstructions from those locations are then compared to the grid SSS in the seasonal mean scale. The result shows that annual mean variation of salinity for period of 1958-2008 in Mentawai and Simeulue is 33.25 psu and 33.26 psu respectively, while in Bunaken and Bali is 34.03 psu and 33.47 psu respectively. Correlation coefficient between coral salinity and salinity from model data in the seasonal/monthly mean scale is high i.e R = 0.62 - 0.83. Based on the monthly mean data, corals in the studied area strongly record SSS variation in the monthly or seasonal mean scale. In Mentawai and Simeulue waters, SSS variation is influenced strongly by monsoon. While, in addition to the monsoon, ocean advection also affects seasonal variability of SSS in the Bunaken and Bali waters.

Published: March 2024

DOI: 10.17014/ijog.v8i3.162Garut Basin are is part of Bandung-Garut Greater Basin (Bandung Zone) characterized by a large basin surrounded by mountain ranges. Active volcanoes had distributed their material as pyroclastic deposits around the outer border of the zone and as lava flow deposit separating the two basins. Bouguer gravity anomaly data had also indicated the presence of several low anomaly closures at about the area of Bandung and Garut Basins that were surrounded by high gravity anomaly zones. Two magnetotelluric surveys were completed to acquire the subsurface model that might explain the tectonic evolution of studied area. The first stage was characterized sby the presence of horst - graben structures that might imply an extensional regime of the area. The next stage of evolutionwas indicated by the horizontal layering correlated to the relative non-active tectonic. In addition, a most recent structure that appeared near the surface might suggest a possible extension force as the current stage.
Stress in the Real Economy of Russian Regions under the Pandemic and Sanctions
Authors:   Lobachevsky State University of Nizhny Novgorod, Malkina M. Yu.
Published: March 2024

Recently, the Russian economy has been affected by sanctions and pandemic shocks. Russian regions reacted differently depending on their spatial location and sectoral structure of economies. Using monthly data for 2016-2023, the article assesses the dynamics of stress of regions’ industrial production volume, retail turnover and volume of paid services to the population. A stress index is calculated as a moving difference between the standard deviation and the average growth rate of the indicator compared to the corresponding period of the previous year. An integrated stress index is a simple sum of individual stress indices normalised using the Z-score method within the panel data framework. As a result, time series of individual and integrated stress indices at the national, federal district and regional levels were obtained. The average stress levels of different Russian regions were compared for the entire period and three sub-periods: pre-pandemic, pandemic (from March, 2020 to February, 2022) and post-pandemic/new sanctions. The data revealed a greater and relatively uniform sensitivity of the service sector of Russian regions to the pandemic; various reactions of regional industries to sanctions, causing the diversification effect across the country; greater trade response to pandemic shocks and industry response to new sanctions. On average, the constituent entities of the North Caucasus Federal District turned out to be the most vulnerable to shocks, while the regions of the Siberian Federal District showed the greatest stability. The study demonstrated that sectoral structure and regional income level are significant factors determining the resilience of the regional real economy to pandemic shocks, while spatial location is also important in response to sanctions.

Authors: Bons Joanna , P Rose J , A Watson M , Schilling B
Published: March 2024

Ovaries from human donors were cut into 3-5 mm sections. These sections were further processed into 500 μm slices containing cortex and medulla. The slices were then processed into pieces (1 mm x 1 mm x 500 µm), and cortex and medulla pieces were cultured separately as explants in static cultures. Explants were cultured and treated with either DMSO vehicle control or 0.1 µg/mL doxorubicin to induce senescence. After 10 days, cortex and medulla explants were thoroughly washed with serum-free basal media and transferred to a clean plate with pre-equilibrated serum-free basal media and inserts. The conditioned media were collected after 24 hours for secretome proteomics profiling. The concentrated conditioned media was subjected to tryptic digestion using S-trap Spin columns. The reconstituted peptide elution was desalted with C18 hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) cartridges. The final reconstituted peptides were diluted with 2% ACN and 0.1% FA. Proteolytic peptide measurement was completed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) acquisition by Data-Independent Acquisition (DIA) on an Orbitrap Eclipse Tribrid mass spectrometer for peptide/protein identification and quantification.

Published: March 2024

Kuta Beach has undergone a change in function and a shift in activity which began with the opening of the trading port function to become a popular beach tourism area in Bali. The development of tourism on Kuta beach is currently experiencing a very drastic increase as evidenced by the very rapid development of tourist accommodation and infrastructure arrangement by the government. The increase in the number of hotels, inns and various other types of functions indicates the high interest in investment in the Kuta beach road area. Indirectly, this dynamic changes one's bond in the Kuta Beach corridor. The study of Place attachment in the commercial corridor area of Kuta Beach aims to determine the important factors in the formation of a place's identity, corridor characteristics, visitor preferences, activity studies, and magnetic identification of an area. The research method in place attachment studies in the Kuta beach corridor uses a quantitative approach accompanied by a qualitative descriptive explanation to find out the phenomena and perceptions of visitors. Knowing the important variables and elements in the corridor becomes the focus of the study to obtain data on the level of place attachment that exists in the commercial corridor of Kuta beach. Based on the literature study, the place attachment study is one of the cornerstones in assisting the planning of an area by assessing the level of attachment to a place.

Published: March 2024

Public open space is one part of urban space that functions to improve environmental quality, city aesthetics, and social interaction. Tenggarong city in East Kalimantan Province, which is located on the banks of the Mahakam River, has public open spaces along its riverbanks. The beginning of the concept of developing this riverside area is The Waterfront Park of Tenggarong City or tourism on the Mahakam Riverside. This public open space aims to restore the function of city space and places that have a linear typology, as well as a city icon and increase tourist visits to Tenggarong City. The purpose of this research is to find out how the quality of public open space is viewed from the perceptions and expectations of visitors and to find out the factors that influence the expectations of visitors to the Mahakam Riverside in Tenggarong City. This study refers to the theory of the quality of public open space which includes meaningful, responsibility, democratic, and maintenance. The result of this research is in "Quite Satisfied" category. This illustrates that tourists are quite satisfied with the availability of public open space on the Mahakam Riverside in Tenggarong City, but they are still not optimal as a whole. To provide a better level of tourist satisfaction in the future, the Tenggarong City Government must be improve the quality of public open spaces that have not satisfied visitors.
WOOD STRUCTURE SYSTEM in TRADITIONAL BANJAR HOUSES in INDONESIA
Authors: Huzairin Muhammad Deddy , Andini Dila Nadya
Published: March 2024

Wood, which is a sustainable material, is widely used for various purposes, including for buildings. The main part of the wooden building lies in the main frame. Wood frame technology is developing quite rapidly, which is generally centered on technology from the Western world. The wood frame technology for traditional houses in Indonesia is unique, which is generally adapted to local conditions, including traditional Banjar houses. Research on traditional Banjar houses has not yet reached an adequate in-depth study of the wooden frame, even though it is unique and responsive to swampland conditions and the local environment. The wooden frame structure and construction system of traditional Banjar houses, apart from adding to the global vocabulary of wooden frames, can also be used as an alternative to wooden frames for conventional buildings. Therefore, this research is important to be carried out. This research was conducted by first taking an inventory of the structural and construction systems of several samples of traditional Banjarese houses, to be analyzed in order to obtain the formulation of the structural and construction system. The existing data and formulations will be combined with the structure and foundation construction that has been obtained in previous studies. A qualitative analysis was also carried out on the obtained formulas to provide an understanding of the forces acting on them and the reactions of the elements and their connections. The method is carried out through secondary data and direct data collection in the field, where the data obtained are compiled and analyzed with a matrix to get the level of regularity of the structure and construction system. The structural and construction systems that have been formulated will be analyzed qualitatively by their actions and reactions in the context of the forces acting on them. It was found that the wooden structure system in a traditional Banjar house consists of 17 structural elements, of which 5 have a major role in the structural system and have unique characteristics compared to other conventional and traditional systems. These structural elements form a solid wooden structural system which is proven by the survival of traditional Banjar houses to this day.

Published: March 2024

Increasingly urban density causes land prices to become more expensive through the years. Repurposing old buildings that are no longer functioning as new functions can be one of the solutions. By utilizing the cultural heritage building of ex-military warehouses of the former Dutch Colonial Government, Warehouse 22 uses 3 parts of the warehouses for a commercial function that is more relevant to today's needs. One of the facilities available is co-working spaces, as a place for activities that became the main focus of this research. This research method applies descriptive qualitative research carried out through observation to describe the settings of activities in its place, especially in the co-working space area through place-centered mapping. This research aims to understand the phenomenon that occurs in the co-working space area related to the behavior of its users, privacy, personal space, and territory. This study shows how a pandemic indirectly changes our daily behavior in the settings where the activity occurs and creates a new lifestyle as an adjustment in the present and future.

Published: March 2024

One of the key elements in The Creative City Program is to revitalize urban settlements (kampung) into a creative kampung in order to foster a creative environment. Kampung Cibunut is one of the urban settlements in Bandung revitalized into an Eco-Conscious Creative Kampung, with the process itself taking two years until its fruition. This research will examine the placemaking process of Cibunut Creative Kampung through the social construct approach of the Actor-Network Theory and analyze the relationship between the community as actors and the Cibunut Creative Kampung as the artifact. Sociotechnogram diagram is used as a tool to analyze the four momentums: problematization, interestness, enrollment, and mobilization. This research finds that the intersections of community networking occur within architectural spaces, mainly the plaza of RT 05 of Kampung Cibunut, the madrasah hall, and the alleyways. This resulted in strong relations between actors and the artifacts that determined the success of the placemaking process and the subsequent sustainability of the Cibunut Creative Kampung program.

Published: March 2024

Abstract - The impact of the earthquake disaster causes adolescents to be more vulnerable to the threat of physical, emotional, and exploitation, including loss of the right to learn. Moreover, there is a phenomenon of early marriage due to this natural disaster. From these findings and assumptions, it is necessary to design a Life Skills-based Family Life Education model that can equip adolescents comprehensively, including academic skills, vocational skills, and generic skills that will have implications for increasing family resilience. This study aims to develop a Life skills-based Family Life Education model for Adolescents Affected by the Earthquake in Cianjur. The research approach used to answer the research problems that have been formulated in this study is Research and Development (RD), which is carried out in three stages, namely: (1) Preliminary Study, (2) Model Development, and (3) Model Test (Model Validation). The results showed that the Life Skills-Based Family Life Education Model for Adolescents Affected by the Earthquake deserves to be implemented in providing family services in the community to help increase family resilience to achieve a prosperous and happy family. Keywords: Model, Family Life Education, Life Skills, Youth

Authors:   East Carolina University, Reed April H. , Angolia Mark G. ,   East Carolina University, Baham Corey ,   Oklahoma State University, Igah Roseline ,   Oklahoma State University
Published: March 2024

Changes in technologies and practitioner approaches to project management have led to a mix known as hybrid. This research identifies approaches practitioners currently use and determines possible influences on how a project manager selects an approach for a project. Four hundred participants completed a survey questionnaire to help identify methodologies in use. Additionally, participants reviewed a list of 39 specific project management tools and techniques to indicate their level of use for each of them. Our findings indicate that few project managers exclusively employ agile methodologies without the incorporation of predictive techniques and tools. Chi-square analysis was used to analyze industry, project manager experience level, and type of project to determine the influence on approach selection. The results showed that industry and type of project were important to selection, but a project manager's level of experience was not. A qualitative analysis identified two additional important factors of company policy and team experience. Overall, the study supported that there is no best approach to managing projects, but hybrid is emerging as a predominant approach to exploit the benefits of multiple approaches. Additionally, the data implies a need for greater support, resources, or education to facilitate the successful implementation and longevity of adaptive project management approaches.
An Argument-Based Analysis of Communicating Academic Findings to Practitioners
Authors:   Louisiana State University, Liang Nan (Peter) , Hirschheim Rudy ,   Louisiana State University, Chen Danli ,   Hofstra University
Published: March 2024

The AIS InPractice merged with Science2Practice in 2020. The new institution now translates articles published in AIS journals into Insights to publicize academic findings. Similarly, MISQ and ISR have a joint initiative with Sloan Management Review to translate academic papers into articles published in SMR. Despite these significant efforts in the IS field, little has been done to investigate whether academic findings have been communicated effectively to practitioners by these disciplinary endeavors. Against this backdrop, we apply Toulmin’s argument framework to discuss two different ways to support a knowledge claim, i.e., warrant-establishing and warrant-using. We then conduct an empirical study to examine how leading academic journals in the IS field rewrite their published articles for a practitioner audience. We found two problems in these communications: First, when academic articles are rewritten as warrant-establishing arguments, scientific methods are often not included. Second, when academic articles are rewritten as warrant-using arguments, the findings are not compared to existing practices. Based on our analysis, we propose that future communication could follow a knowledge flyer style focusing on comparing academic findings with existing practices. Also, we propose a Master of Philosophy program which could be an effective pedagogical effort to educate IS practitioners.
Siber Mekânda Duygu Deneyimleri Bağlamında Meditasyon Uygulamaları
Authors: Demir Ali Eren , Yücedağ İbrahim
Published: March 2024

İşsizlik, yoğun iş saatleri, iş stresi, ekonomik problemler ve toplumsal travmalar gibi etkenler bireyin duygusal durumunu etkilemektedir. Bu bağlamda, duygular ve duyguların düzenlenme biçimleri sosyal bir olgu olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Ancak, yüz yüze terapiler, meditasyonlar veya psikoterapiler gibi duygu düzenlemesi yöntemleri, sosyo-ekonomik nedenlerle sınırlı bir erişime sahip olabilmektedir. Bu ihtiyacı karşılamak isteyen bireyler hızla büyüyen “mutluluk endüstrisine” yönelmektedir. Bu endüstri, bireylere nasıl hissetmeleri gerektiği konusunda öğütler veren terapi söylemlerini içeren bir kültür ve piyasa oluşturmaktadır. Son zamanlarda, akıllı telefon uygulamaları aracılığıyla siber mekânda yaygınlaşan bu terapi kültürü ve piyasası, bireye her an her yerde “mutlu olma”, “stresten uzaklaşma”, “rahatlama” gibi vaatler sunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, kişisel gelişim ve farkındalık uygulamalarından örnek olarak, kadınlara yönelik popüler bir uygulama olan “Goddess” ve stres azaltma amacıyla ortaya çıkan “Meditopia” incelenmiştir. Fenomenolojik bir yaklaşımla gerçekleştirilen çalışmada, bu uygulamaları kullanan bireylerin deneyimleri, Google Play uygulama mağazasındaki yorumlar kullanılarak MAXQDA 2018 programı ile kodlanmış ve incelenmiştir. Bu uygulamaları kullanan bireyler, duygularını yönetmek için kendi farkındalıklarını kullanmaları gerektiğini vurgulayan bu uygulamalar aracılığıyla anksiyete ve stresle başa çıkma, sosyal destek bulma ve sakinlik elde etme çabası içindedir. Bu çalışma, bu uygulamaların yararlılık ölçütünü değerlendirmemekle birlikte, kullanıcı yorumları üzerinden bireylerin deneyimlerini anlamaya çalışmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, kullanıcılar bu uygulamaları rahat uyuma, rahatlama, stresten uzaklaşma ve anlayışlı biriyle konuşma gibi şekillerde değerlendirmektedir. Ancak, siber mekânda duyguların düzenlenme biçimleri üzerine sosyolojik araştırmaların sınırlı olduğu ve daha kapsamlı çalışmalara ihtiyaç duyulduğu belirtilmektedir. Bu makale, sosyal araştırmalara dayalı olarak, bireylerin duygusal deneyimlerini anlamak için siber mekânda kullanılan uygulamaların etkisini daha fazla incelemeyi önermektedir.
Türkiye’de Kamu ve Özel Sektör Dış Borçları ile Ekonomik Büyüme Arasındaki İlişki
Authors: İlter Şener , Günsoy Bülent
Published: March 2024

Bu çalışmada, kamu ve özel sektör dış borçlarının ekonomik büyüme üzerindeki etkisi incelenmektedir. Bu kapsamda, Türkiye’de kamu ve özel sektör dış borçlarıyla ekonomik büyüme arasındaki ilişki 1989-2021 dönemini kapsayan yıllık veri seti kullanılarak test edilmektedir. Öncelikle kullanılan serilerin durağanlık seviyelerini belirlemek için geleneksel ve yapısal kırılmaya izin veren birim kök testleri kullanılmıştır. Değişkenler arasındaki ilişkileri belirlemek için ARDL sınır testinden ve Hatemi-J asimetrik nedensellik testinden faydalanılmıştır. Çalışmada elde edilen bulgular, sabit sermaye oluşumunun, işgücüne katılım oranının ve ihracatın ekonomik büyümeyi pozitif; kamu ve özel sektör dış borç stokunun ise ekonomik büyümeyi negatif yönde etkilediğini göstermektedir. Ayrıca, büyümenin pozitif şokları ile kamu sektörü dış borç stokunun pozitif şokları arasında, büyümeden kamu sektörü dış borç stokuna doğru tek yönlü nedensellik ilişkisi bulunmaktadır. Bu bulgular, politika yapıcılara Türkiye’de kamu ve özel sektör dış borç stokunda meydana gelen artışların büyümeyi olumsuz yönde etkilediğini göz önünde bulundurmaları gerektiğini göstermektedir.
Emzirmek ve Soybağı İlişkisi Üzerine Bir Değerlendirme
Authors: Evsel Gülsevim
Published: March 2024

Soybağı konusu yüzyıllardır önemini koruyan sosyo-politik bir olgudur. İslamiyet'e göre, kadın ve çocuğu arasında doğum ve emzirme yoluyla kurulabilir. Bu çalışmada doğurma edimi dışında, emzirme yoluyla kurulacak bir nesep ilişkisinin üremeye yardımcı teknolojiler (ÜYTE) ve taşıyıcı anneler/yumurta-kurul sperm donasyonu açısından da olanaklılığını tartışmak hedeflenmiştir. Çalışmada ikincil verilerden yararlanılmış; doğum ve emzirmeye farklı açılardan yaklaşımlar incelenmiştir. Bu yaklaşımlar üzerinden ÜYTE üzerinden çocuk sahibi olan ebeveynlerin çocukları ile soybağı ilişkisi kurmasının olanaklılığı araştırılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, Türk Medeni Hukuku’nda doğuran kadın anne olarak kabul edilmektedir; bu ilkeden hareketle taşıyıcı annelerin doğurdukları çocukla olan mahremiyet ilişkisi bulunmaktadır. Bu ilişkinin yanı sıra taşıyıcı anne yoluyla çocuk sahibi olan kadının çocukla kuracağı ilişkinin meşruiyeti de hukuki ve dini açılardan sorun teşkil etmektedir. Oysa, emzirmek, farklı bir soybağının kurulmasına vesile olacağı için, bu edimin ÜYTE yoluyla çocuk sahibi olan ve meşruiyet sorunu yaşayan ebeveynlere bir alternatif olarak sunulabileceği sonucuna varılmıştır. İslami çevreler süt anneliği ve taşıyıcı anneliği her ne kadar farklı yerlere koymakta iseler de emzirmenin toplumda gerekli meşruiyeti sağlayabileceği düşünülmektedir.

Rus Edebiyatında Moskova: XVII. Yüzyılın Sonundan XX. Yüzyılın Başına
Authors: Aydın Onur
Published: March 2024

Kent araştırmalarında Moskova üzerine gerçekleştirilen çalışmalar son dönemde artmaya başlamıştır. Bu araştırmalarda çoğunlukla tek bir yazarın ya da eserin incelenmesinin, kentin Rus edebiyatındaki konumuna dair kısıtlı veriler sunduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Çalışmada XVII. yüzyılın sonundan XX. yüzyılın başına, Moskova’nın edebî metinlerdeki gelişimine bütüncül bir bakış açısı kazandırılması amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda betimleyici ve karşılaştırmalı analiz yöntemlerine ve imgebilime başvurulmuştur. Eserlerinde Moskova’yı konu edinmiş yazar ve şairlerden öne çıkan isimlerin çalışmaları incelenmiştir. Gerçekleştirilen inceleme neticesinde XVIII. yüzyılın başında Moskova’nın yalnızca başkent olma özelliğini yitirdiği, kutsallık ve annelik rollerini muhafaza ettiği, yüzyılın ikinci yarısında dünyevileşme hareketine dâhil olduğu, yüzyılın sonunda doğal güzellikleriyle öne çıktığı, Vatan Savaşı ile birlikte ise daha destansı bir kimliğe büründüğü tespit edilmiştir. XIX. yüzyılın ikinci yarısında Batıcı-Slavofil tartışmaların arasında kaldığı, ilerleyen yıllarda kapitalizmin etkisiyle ticari yönünün daha fazla vurgulandığı, XX. yüzyılın başında modernleşme ve sekülerizm karşısına konumlandırıldığı, zıt ve uyumsuz bir zeminde kaleme alındığı görülmüştür. Bu verilerden hareketle edebî metinlerde Moskova, Rusya’da yaşanan tarihsel, dinî, siyasi, sosyolojik ve ekonomik alanlarda meydana gelen önemli gelişmelerin habercisi ya da ürünü olarak değerlendirilmiştir.

Published: March 2024

Para ikamesi olarak da bilinen dolarizasyon olgusu, yüksek enflasyon ve belirsizlik ortamlarında ülke vatandaşlarının ekonomik işlemlerde ulusal para yerine ya da ulusal para ile birlikte yabancı para birimini tercih etmeleri olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Yabancı para biriminden borç miktarını ifade eden yükümlülük (borç) dolarizasyonunun toplam yükümlülükler içerisindeki payı gelişmekte olan ülkelerde önemli bir ekonomik göstergedir. Döviz kurundaki yükselme bu ülkelerde döviz yükümlülüklerinde artışa yol açarak borç yönetimi ve yatırımlar üzerinde olumsuz etkilere yol açmaktadır. Döviz kurlarındaki değişimin şirket bilançoları üzerinde oluşturduğu etki ve buna bağlı olarak yatırımlarda ortaya çıkan değişim “bilanço etkisi” olarak bilinmektedir. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’de 2010-2021 dönemi için imalat sektöründeki yabancı para cinsinden borçlanmanın yani yükümlülük dolarizasyonunun yatırımlar üzerindeki etkisi iki aşamalı sistem GMM yöntemi ile analiz edilmiştir. Oluşturulan modele firmaya özgü mikro değişkenler ve ekonomiye ilişkin makro değişkenler kontrol değişken olarak eklenmiştir. Elde edilen ampirik bulgulara göre, firmaya özgü mikro değişkenlerden firma büyüklüğü ve maddi duran varlıklardaki değişiklikler firma yatırımlarını aynı yönlü etkilerken, yabancı para cinsinden borçlanmayı ifade eden yükümlülük dolarizasyonundaki artış yatırımları olumsuz şekilde etkilemektedir. Negatif bilanço etkisinin tespit edildiği bu çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre 2010-2021 döneminde Türk imalat sanayi sektöründeki şirketlerin yabancı para cinsinden borçları arttıkça yatırımları azalmaktadır.

Published: March 2024

The concept of marketing is explained as the activity of creating, pricing, distributing and promoting products, services and ideas to enable businesses to achieve their goals. One of the most important tools of promotion within these activities is advertising. Female figures, defined as an indispensable element of advertising, appear as both the initiators and the influencers of the change activity. Feminist advertising, also known as femvertising, which has been frequently encountered in recent years, is one of the advertising activities that place the female figure in the subject position. Feminist advertising is accepted as an example of advertising that emphasizes the power of women in advertising in modern societies and the departure from the traditional male-female role distribution. The concept of gender, which is determined based on the general acceptance of society, determines the place of women in commercial films and shapes women. In the study, the commercial films that won awards in the Mixx Award competition in 2022 under the title of gender equality were examined with semiotic analysis. The first of the commercials is the commercial of the Mor Çatı association, which includes Psychological and Economic Violence Against Women. It has been determined that there are many embedded messages in the commercials of the relevant association. In the other commercial analyzed, titled A Daughter Changes, the World Changes, the message that girls' education is at the request of their father, that is, a man, draws attention.

Authors: Aktop Vildan Saba
Published: March 2024

Dünya ticaretinin serbestleşmesi ile kaynakların etkin bir şekilde kullanılması sonucunda refahın artacağı öngörülmektedir. Ancak küreselleşmenin hızlandığı günümüzde dünya gelirindeki artışa rağmen dünyadaki gelir dağılımının adil olmadığı görülmektedir. Bu nedenle dünyadaki dış ticaretin refah ve gelir dağılımı eşitsizliği üzerindeki etkisinin ortaya konulması önemlidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı; üst-orta ve yüksek gelir grubunda yer alan 30 ülkede 2004-2020 dönemi için mal ve hizmet ihracatı, ithalatı, tasarruflar ve enflasyon ile gini endeksi arasındaki uzun dönemli ilişkiyi ve nedensellik ilişkisini araştırmaktır. Panel ARDL yöntemi ile yapılan çalışmada panel birim kök testi, eşbütünleşme testi, PMG tahmincisi ile katsayı tahmini ve nedensellik testleri yapılmıştır. Panel ARDL-PMG ve Dumitrescu-Hurlin nedensellik testinin kullanıldığı analizde ihracat, ithalat, tasarruflar ile gini endeksi arasında eşbütünleşme ilişkisi tespit edilmiştir. Gini endeksi üzerinde ihracat ve tasarrufların negatif, ithalatın pozitif bir etkisi olduğu saptanmıştır. Ayrıca ihracat, ithalat ve tasarruftan gini endeksine doğru nedensellik ilişkisi saptanmıştır.

Background: Epidural analgesia is the most effective method of pain relief during labour and the only method that provides complete analgesia without maternal or foetal adverse effects. This study aimed to assess the mode of delivery outcomes of labour in women who had received effective epidural analgesia.
Methods: After ethical approval, this quasi-experimental study was carried out in Dhaka medical college hospital for one year, from July 2021 to June 2022. A total of 100 admitted pregnant women (37 weeks to 41 weeks) in the labour ward were included in the study according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Among them, 50 women were in group A (with epidural analgesia), and the other 50 were in group B (without epidural analgesia). A detailed history and thorough clinical examination were carried out on each patient. Data were collected in separate case-record forms and analyzed using SPSS 24.
Results: Mean age, gestational age, parity, and body mass index were statistically similar in both group A and B. Normal vaginal delivery rate (86% vs. 90%), instrumental delivery rate (10% vs. 6%), and caesarean section rate (4% vs. 4%) were not significantly different in both groups. Besides, both group A and B had statistically similar APGAR scores at 1st (8.66±0.87 and 8.80±0.83 respectively, p=0.414) and 5th min (9.66±0.68 and 9.74±0.59 respectively, p=0.537).
Conclusions: Epidural labour analgesia can be safely recommended as a method of labour analgesia, provided the prerequisites are fulfilled. It has no significant adverse effect on the mode of delivery.

Published: March 2024

Background: Preeclampsia, a pregnancy-related condition with heightened blood pressure and organ damage after 20 weeks, prompts concern. Serum ferritin, an iron-storing protein, gauged by blood tests, mirrors iron levels. Investigating link before conception between serum ferritin and preeclampsia could impact how we identify, manage, and treat this condition during pregnancy. Study aimed to assess the association of serum ferritin with preeclampsia and its severity.
Methods: This case-control study was conducted in Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib medical university hospital and Dhaka medical college hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh from July 2011 to June 2012. A total of 100 pregnant women, comprising 50 cases (Preeclamptic) and 50 controls (Normal pregnant women), were purposively included as study subjects. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 23.0.
Results: In the case group, 64% were with mild and 36% with severe preeclampsia. Mean serum ferritin was significantly higher in cases than in controls (p<0.001); 76% of cases had elevated serum ferritin, compared to 44% in controls (p=0.001). Severe preeclampsia group had a mean serum ferritin of 192.8, mild preeclampsia group had 86.1, and normal pregnant women had 21.7 ng/ml, indicating higher serum ferritin with preeclampsia severity (p<0.001).
Conclusions: Preeclamptic cases exhibit significantly elevated serum ferritin levels, with a fourfold increased likelihood compared to normal pregnancies. Furthermore, the severity of preeclampsia is associated with higher serum ferritin concentrations in comparison to uncomplicated pregnancies.
