Although individual adoption and use of a single system has been examined extensively, little is known about how people evaluate and compare competing systems. In this paper, we discuss and test three alternative models underlying user comparison of competing systems: separate, crossover effect, and relative comparison processes. The separate comparison process proposes that users develop separate cognitive, affective, and conative evaluations toward each system, and the between-system comparison only occurs at the point of choosing a preferred system. The crossover effect comparison process posits that users not only perform separate evaluations for each system, but also consider the competitive effects when proceeding across cognitive, affective, and conative evaluation stages. In contrast, the relative comparison process postulates that users directly compare competing systems within each of the cognitive, affective, and conative evaluation stages. Based on the IS continuance model, we tested each of these three models using data collected from users of two competing instant messaging systems. Our results showed that the relative comparison process is the most parsimonious and the best model in terms of explaining the mechanisms underlying the comparison of system use by individuals. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Advancing the quality of healthcare for senior citizens with chronic conditions is of great social relevance. To better manage chronic conditions, objective, convenient, and inexpensive wearable sensor- based information systems (IS) have been increasingly used by researchers and practitioners. However, existing models often focus on a single aspect of chronic conditions and are often “black boxes” with limited interpretability. In this research, we adopt the computational design science paradigm and propose a novel adversarial attention-based deep multisource multitask learning (AADMML) framework. Drawing upon deep learning, multitask learning, multisource learning, attention mechanism, and adversarial learning, AADMML addresses limitations with existing wearable sensor-based chronic condition severity assessment methods. Choosing Parkinson’s disease (PD) as our test case because of its prevalence and societal significance, we conduct benchmark experiments to evaluate AADMML against state-of-the-art models on a large-scale dataset containing thousands of instances. We present three case studies to demonstrate the practical utility and economic benefits of AADMML and by applying it to detect early-stage PD. We discuss how our work is related to the IS knowledge base and its practical implications. This work can contribute to improved life quality for senior citizens and advance IS research in mobile health analytics.
What Makes One Intrinsically Interested in IT? An Exploratory Study on Influences of Autistic Tendency and Gender in the U.S. and India
Authors:   Illinois State University, Jia Ronnie , Steelman Zachary ,   University of Arkansas, Jia Heather ,   Illinois State University
Published: May 2023

To increase diversity and inclusion in IT enrollment and employment, we must first answer the question: What makes one intrinsically interested in technology in the first place? To the extent that one’s choice of an IT education and career is driven by such intrinsic interest, the answer to this question will inform the various educational and organizational efforts to enhance social inclusion through increasing neurodiversity and gender diversity. Building on prior literature on the empathizing-systemizing (E-S) theory of autism, we employ two studies to explore the influences of autistic tendency and gender on intrinsic interest in IT. In Study 1, survey data from a U.S. sample provide support for autistic tendency as an antecedent of IT interest. The data also show that after controlling for individual variations in autistic tendency, the seemingly higher IT interest exhibited by U.S. men versus women becomes nonsignificant, demonstrating autistic tendency as an underlying mechanism by which differences in IT interest manifest between men and women. In Study 2, we replicate the model with respondents from India. Survey results again provide support for autistic tendency as an antecedent of IT interest and further show that there exists no significant gender difference in IT interest in India, regardless of whether autistic tendency is controlled for. This research offers a belated academic acknowledgment of the autism-IT linkage for the IS field and a comprehensive introduction of the E-S theory as a theoretical lens for multiple areas of IS research, including social inclusion, adoption, neuroIS, and evolutionary theory building. The finding of a nonsignificant difference in IT interest between men and women in the U.S. and India dispels a gender stereotype and demonstrates that collective-level gender labels may yield misleading results when individual-level factors, such as autistic tendency, masquerade as gender differences. Implications for IS practice are also discussed.
Platform Compatibility and Developer Multihoming: A Trade-off Perspective
Authors:   Georgia State University, Tian Jing , Zhao Xia ,   University of Georgia, Xue Ling ,   Georgia State University
Published: May 2023

Digital platform ecosystems feature interplatform competition. A potential strategy for a platform with market disadvantage is to make itself compatible with competitors to attract multihoming of developers. However, many questions remain unresolved regarding how a platform’s compatibility strategy impacts developers’ multihoming decisions and subsequent app performance. In this study, we use the context of web browser platforms (i.e., Firefox and Chrome) to investigate how the increase in the technological compatibility of a secondary platform (Firefox) influences developer multihoming from a primary dominant platform (Chrome). We theoretically consider how increased platform compatibility influences the trade-offs in developers’ multihoming decisions and their subsequent app development choices. Based on this trade-off perspective, we posit and empirically investigate the effects of increased platform compatibility on developer multihoming, and the subsequent development choices and app performance resulting from multihoming. Our findings illustrate that developers with larger user bases on the primary platform are more willing to multihome than those with smaller bases, but increased platform compatibility reduces this gap and enables developers with smaller user bases to better embrace multihoming. Increased platform compatibility also encourages multihoming developers to develop exclusive apps for the secondary platform. Moreover, increased platform compatibility facilitates multihoming developers to leverage their primary-platform user bases to enhance their secondary-platform app performance, and this effect is influenced by the development type (porting or exclusive development). Our study generates unique insights that add to the theoretical understanding of platform compatibility, multihoming, and platform competition.
Getting Trapped in Technical Debt: Sociotechnical Analysis of a Legacy System’s Replacement

Published: May 2023

Organizations replace their legacy systems for technical, economic, and operational reasons. Replacement is a risky proposition, as high levels of technical and social inertia make these systems hard to withdraw. Failure to fully replace systems results in complex system architectures involving manifold hidden dependencies that carry technical debt. To understand how a process for replacing a complex legacy system unfolds and accumulates technical debt, we conducted an explanatory case study at a local manufacturing site that had struggled to replace its mission-critical legacy systems as part of the larger global company’s commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) system implementation. We approach the replacement as a sociotechnical change and leverage the punctuated sociotechnical information system change model in combination with the design-moves framework to analyze how the site balanced creating digital options, countering social inertia, and managing (architectural) technical debt. The findings generalize to a two-level (local/global) system-dynamics model delineating how replacing a deeply entrenched mission-critical system generates positive and negative feedback loops within and between social and technical changes at local and global levels. The loops, unless addressed, accrue technical debt that hinders legacy system discontinuance and gradually locks the organization into a debt-constrained state. The model helps managers anticipate challenges that accompany replacing highly entrenched systems and formulate effective strategies to address them.
How Green Information Technology Standards and Strategies Influence Performance: Role of Environment, Cost and Dual Focus

Published: May 2023

How do green information technology (IT) standards and organizational strategies jointly influence firms’ environmental sustainability and financial performance? This is an important question, as many firms adopt green IT standards without considering the fit with their organizational strategies and therefore face uncertain or mixed outcomes. We address this question by developing a theory-driven conceptual framework and collecting archival data on green IT standards and green IT organizational strategies from more than 230 firms in India. Our analysis yields two main findings. First, an environment-focused green IT organizational strategy has a stronger positive moderating effect than a cost-focused green IT organizational strategy on the association between green IT standards and sustainability-monitoring capability. Similarly, an environment-focused green IT organizational strategy has a stronger positive moderating effect than a cost-focused green IT organizational strategy on the association between green IT standards and financial profit. Second, a dual-focused green IT organizational strategy positively moderates the association between green IT standards and profit. This study provides a theoretical explanation and empirical evidence to support the salience of green IT standards and complementary organizational strategies in advancing environmental sustainability and financial performance objectives. It also informs managerial decision-making about how firms can choose the appropriate green IT organizational strategy to enhance sustainability-monitoring capability and the financial benefits of green IT standards.
Data is the New Protein: How the Commonwealth of Virginia Built Digital Resilience Muscle and Rebounded from Opioid and COVID Shocks

Published: May 2023

During shocks, residents and businesses rely upon the government to ensure health, safety, and the continuity of services. The government’s ability to respond depends upon how well it utilizes its data resources and builds digital resilience. Yet governments often fail to integrate data from different agencies to respond effectively to shocks. We conceptualize digital resilience as a dynamic capability (DC). Although the DC framework provides a theoretical basis, it is unclear what actions managers can take to build DC. Through process tracing, we examine how the Commonwealth of Virginia (COVA) built DCs and rebounded from two shocks—the opioid crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic. COVA managers leveraged statewide data assets, built routines to disseminate data, and reconfigured operational capabilities to build three DCs—relationship building, intelligence creation, and value extraction. Data functioned as the “protein” to build the digital resilience “muscle.” We found that the relationship building DC leveraged the operational capabilities of data management, integration, and governance structure to foster data sharing, the intelligence creation DC leveraged analytics, and the value extraction DC converted analytics into cost savings, revenue generation, and new services. Whereas COVA built robust digital resilience by facilitating data sharing, the agencies exploited data assets to develop scalable solutions.
Just Enough Information? The Contingent Curvilinear Effect of Information Volume on Decision Performance in IS-Enabled Teams
Authors:   University of Arkansas, Mullins Jeffrey , Sabherwal Rajiv ,   University of Arkansas
Published: May 2023

Information, which is the critical resource provided by information systems (IS), is available in increasing volumes due to rapid technological progress. This causes a tension between the cognitive limitations of individuals and their access to large volumes of information. This tension is important not only for individuals but also for teams, which are increasingly making important organizational decisions. Recognizing this tension, this paper investigates the relationship between information volume and decision performance in IS-enabled teams. We use information processing and schema theories to develop a contextualized theoretical model, wherein information volume has a curvilinear (inverted U-shaped) effect on decision performance, and this effect is moderated by three context-relevant attributes of the team members: computer self-efficacy, computer anxiety, and learning goal orientation. We conducted two complementary studies, with similar experimental contexts and procedures but different types of participants and different tasks. In these studies, 236 individuals in 118 dyads (Study 1) and 200 individuals in 60 small teams (Study 2) made decisions over time using an enterprise resource planning system for a competitive virtual firm in a business simulation. We used objective data on system use and decision outcomes, along with survey data, to test the theoretical model. The two complementary studies find consistent results supporting the curvilinear relationship between information volume and decision performance and find that this relationship is flattened by high computer self-efficacy. Study 1 also supports the hypothesized steepening effects of high computer anxiety and learning goal orientation on the curvilinear relationship. Study 2 does not support these effects of computer anxiety and learning goal orientation but highlights some boundary conditions for them. Together, the studies provide insights into how information volume affects decision performance in IS-enabled teams, and how context-relevant team member attributes moderate this relationship and themselves affect decision performance.

religion des autres. Quelle place pour les questions « personnelles » des élèves en classe
Authors: Durisch Gauthier Nicole
Published: May 2023

Der vorliegende Beitrag thematisiert und reflektiert die Gründe, die es sinnvoll erscheinen lassen, „persönliche Fragen“ der Schülerinnen und Schüler im Fach „histoire et sciences des religions“ (Religionswissenschaft) aufzugreifen. Er befasst sich aber ebenso mit Argumenten, die dafür plädieren, auf diese Fragen nicht einzugehen. Dabei stützt sich der Artikel sowohl auf jahrelange unterrichtspraktische Erfahrungen in Maturitätsklassen, als auch auf erziehungs- und sozialwissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse. Die Autorin schlägt vor, ein Klassenklima zu schaffen, in welchem sich die Jugendlichen mit ihren persönlichen Fragen akzeptiert fühlen, ohne im Unterricht auf die Paradigmen der Sozial- und Geisteswissenschaften zu verzichten.

Convictions religieuses et adoption ou non-adoption d'une conception sécularisée de la science. Enquête réalisée auprès d'élèves de terminale en Belgique francophone
Authors: Wolfs José-Luis , Delhaye Coralie
Published: May 2023

Studien in verschiedenen Ländern zeigen, dass es Schülerinnen und Schüler gibt, die aufgrund ihres religiösen Glaubens die Evolutionstheorie gänzlich oder teilweise ablehnen. Die Untersuchung im vorliegenden Beitrag zielt darauf ab zu bestimmen, in welchem Masse die Schüler/-innen, die die Sekundarstufe im französischsprachigen Belgien abschliessen, ein säkulares Konzept von Wissenschaft angeeignet haben. Unter den Faktoren, die für die Aneignung (nicht)säkularer Konzepte durch die Schüler/-innen relevant sind, werden zwei genauer unter die Lupe genommen: (1) die persönlichen religionsbezogenen Überzeugungen der Schülerinnen und Schüler sowie der Bezug gläubiger Schüler/-innen auf die „Heiligen Schriften“ und (2) die Frage nach der Wissenschaftlichkeit der Ausbildung, die die Schüler/-innen bis anhin genossen haben. Auf der Basis der Untersuchungsergebnisse werden einige Überlegungen zum pädagogischen und didaktischen Programm diskutiert.
De la catéchèse chrétienne aux catéchismes politiques : la morale élémentaire enseignée en France de 1789 à 1848
Authors: Buttier Jean-Charles
Published: May 2023

Die Französische Revolution zeichnete sich durch den Wunsch aus, den Bürgerinnen und Bürgern ihren Status durch einen entsprechenden Unterricht bewusst zu machen, indem insbesondere ihre republikanische Gesinnung geschult wurde. Das Unterrichten dieser Moral geriet jedoch in eine teleologische Schieflage, die darin bestand, in dieser Moral die Wurzeln der bürgerlichen Instruktion zu sehen, welche unter der Dritten Republik eingesetzt hatte. Die Analyse der „politischen Katechismen“ und ihrer Natur – auf den ersten Blick ein Oxymoron – ist von Nutzen, denn es sind gerade sie, seit den Jahren 1870-1880 durch republikanische Historiker erarbeitet, die von der Genealogie der zivilen Unterweisung, ausgeschlossen worden sind. Diese elementaren Werke sind das Erbe der christlichen Pädagogik und zeigen, dass es keine moralische Tabula rasa gab. Hier vollzog sich eine Verschmelzung der Traditionen. Das führte besonders in den Jahren 1830-1848 zum Versuch einer synkretistischen Moral. Die Untersuchung dieser politisch-pädagogischen Literaturgattung erlaubt es, die Geschichte bis in die 1880er Jahre zu rekonstruieren, als Versuche gemacht wurden, eine laizistische Moral zu erfinden: Es wird dargelegt, wie sich zunächst eine Moral etablierte, die auf die Revolution zurückgeführt wurde, dann eine Moral, die republikanisch war und die sich an verschiedene Traditionen anlehnte. Dabei fokussiert der Beitrag insbesondere auf die Gründe der Niederlage des politisch-religiösen Synkretismus, der unter der Ersten und Zweiten Republik angestrebt wurde.
Enseignement de la philosophie et enseignement des faits religieux en France : entre exigence de la liberté de penser et nouveaux enjeux pédagogiques
Authors: Gaudin Philippe
Published: May 2023

Für die Vereinbarkeit des Respekts der Überzeugungen von Schüler/-innen und Familien mit dem Philosophieunterricht stellen sich heute neue Probleme – dies aufgrund der starken Zunahme von Schüler/-innen auf der Sekundarstufe, der Säkularisierung und der religiösen Pluralität in Frankreich, wie auch in anderen europäischen Ländern. Auch wenn „Religion“ ein Konzept ist, das schon lange „Teil des Lehrplans für Philosophie“ ist, so müssten die Gründe der Vorbehalte der Philosophielehrpersonen gegenüber des religionskundlichen Unterrichts genauer analysiert werden. Eine einfache Analyse der offiziell anerkannten Philosophielehrpläne sowie der Liste der offiziell anerkannten Autor/-innen zeigt, wie stark Religionsthemen in der Philosophie präsent sind. Anders gesagt: Die Lehrpersonen können, unabhängig von ihren philosophischen Grundeinstellungen, nicht länger darauf verzichten, ihre Schülerinnen und Schüler in die kulturellen Hintergründe der Religionen einzuführen, die diese heutzutage oft nicht haben.
Forschendes Lernen in der Religionswissenschaft. Ein Erfahrungsbericht
Authors: Neumaier Anna
Published: May 2023

Die Vermittlung von Grundlagenwissen in Vorlesungen und die Diskussion von Textgrundlagen in Seminaren sind gängige Lehr- und Lernweisen in der Religionswissenschaft, lassen sich aber didaktisch optimieren. Mit Ansätzen wie dem „Forschenden Lernen“, „Blended Learning“ und „Flipped Classroom“ wird der fachliche und ausserfachliche Wissens- und Kompetenzerwerb gefördert: Fachwissen kann durch die aktive Erarbeitung von Inhalten durch die Studierenden selbst besser verstanden und behalten werden, aber auch notwendiges Kontextwissen wird verstärkt vermittelt und erlaubt eine erhöhte Transferkompetenz. Zuletzt ermöglichen die Ansätze ein synergetisches Arbeiten angesichts begrenzter Semesterwochenstunden-Kapazitäten, etwa in der religionswissenschaftlichen Methodenlehre. Der Aufsatz will diese Ansätze mit ihren Vorzügen und Nachteilen vorstellen, ihre praktische Umsetzung an einem Beispiel illustrieren und Herausforderungen in der Implementierung diskutieren.
Beobachten und Befragen im religionskundlichen Unterricht. Zum Verhältnis von Fachdidaktik und Fachwissenschaft
Authors: Bleisch Petra , Jödicke Ansgar
Published: May 2023

Bei der Entwicklung einer religionskundlichen Didaktik stellt sich – unter anderem – die Frage, welches Verhältnis die Didaktik zu fachwissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen haben soll. Der Artikel behandelt dieses Verhältnis an einem Beispiel, nämlich dem Einsatz von Befragungen und Beobachtungen im schulischen Unterricht. Die Konzeption von Beobachten und Befragen im schulischen Unterricht wird am „Lehrplan 21“ und dem Lehrmittel „Blickpunkt“ dargestellt, dann mit einer sozialwissenschaftlich orientierten Religionswissenschaft und mit dem didaktischen Konzept des forschend-entdeckenden Lernens kontrastiert. Dies ermöglicht einerseits, die Vorgaben des Lehrplans zu konkretisieren und die Vorschläge des Lehrmittels weiterzuentwickeln. Andererseits kann das Verhältnis von Religionswissenschaft und religionskundlicher Didaktik differenzierter bestimmt werden.
Kritisches und queeres Denken als Denk-, Arbeits- und Handlungsweise in der Religionskunde
Authors: Amsler Monika
Published: May 2023

Das Konzept von Religion als einem universellen Phänomen wurde in den letzten Jahren stark für den ihm zugrunde liegenden Eurozentrismus kritisiert, der gleichermassen Teil der akademischen Kategorie „Religion“ sei. Ebenso sei die Kategorienbildung nach Weltreligionen (und das daraus resultierende Paradigma) ein Produkt des Kolonialismus und diene einzig dazu, die westliche, weisse Hegemonie aufrecht zu erhalten. Diese postmoderne Kritik mag zuweilen etwas exzessiv und „trendy“ erscheinen, trotzdem hat sie weder ganz unrecht noch darf sie ignoriert werden. Trotzdem sollte nicht damit aufgehört werden, an der Schule über Religionen zu sprechen. Eher soll, wie bereits andere argumentiert haben, vermehrt darauf geachtet werden, wie über Religion gesprochen wird (Bleisch, 2019; Frank, 2016; Gasser, 2019). Da neutrales Sprechen aber kaum möglich ist, soll dieser Anspruch nicht allein vom Urteilsvermögen einer Lehrperson oder von einem Lehrbuch abhängig gemacht werden. Vielmehr wird hier vorgeschlagen, zumindest zeitweilig eine andere, queere Pädagogik für das Fach einzuführen. Diese macht das Fach zu einem queeren Zeit-Raum in dem nicht in erster Linie gelernt wird, dass andere anders denken, sondern in dem sich die Schüler_innen der eigenen Denkmechanismen im Gegenüber des öffentlichen und politischen Diskurses bewusst werden.
Medienanalyse im religionskundlichen Unterricht? Ritualmord im Kontext von Verschwörungstheorien
Authors: Kenngott Eva-Maria , Radde-Antweiler Kerstin
Published: May 2023

Das Verhältnis der Religionswissenschaft als universitärer Disziplin zur Religionskunde als Schulfach ist im Modus der didaktischen Umsetzung nicht angemessen zu beschreiben und sollte stattdessen von konkreten Problemstellungen her entwickelt werden. Die Frage des Methodentransfers wird ausgehend von einem Video aus dem verschwörungstheoretischen Kontext aus fachwissenschaftlicher und fachdidaktischer Sicht dargelegt. Die medienanalytischen Methoden werden dabei einerseits unter dem Aspekt der basalen rezeptionsgeschichtlichen Annahmen, die den Forschungsprozess prägen, betrachtet. Die Lehrpersonen sollten über ein rezeptionsgeschichtliches Grundverständnis verfügen und damit den Unterricht implizit bestimmen. Andererseits ist das methodische Handwerkszeug der Medienanalyse, z.B. die Filmanalyse, nur partiell und altersangemessen in den Unterricht einzubringen. Daher werden eigene methodische Überlegungen angestellt, wie damit im Unterricht gearbeitet werden kann. Dazu wird eine Fallstudie im Rahmen des problemorientierten Unterrichts vorgeschlagen.
CNC-machinable boehmite nanofiber-melamine-formaldehyde composite aerogels and derivatives for thermal insulation and optical applications
Authors: Hayase Gen
Published: May 2023

Composite aerogels combining melamine resin and boehmite nanofibers were successfully prepared using a sol-gel reaction in a mixed solvent of aqueous acetic acid and N,N-dimethylformamide. The composite aerogel exhibits low thermal conductivity and surface processability, making it a potential thermal insulating material for electronic substrates. Transparent γ-alumina aerogels and black alumina-graphite aerogels with designed surface topography were also prepared through CNC machining and calcination. These aerogels with precise surface structures are expected to have applications in fields such as optical materials.
Using Oriented External Electric Fields to Manipulate Rupture Forces of Mechanophores
Authors: Scheele Tarek , Neudecker Tim
Published: May 2023

Oriented External Electric Fields (OEEFs) can catalyze chemical reactions by selectively weakening bonds. This makes them a topic of interest in mechanochemistry, where mechanical force is used to rupture specific bonds in molecules. Using electronic structure calculations based on density functional theory (DFT), we investigate the effect of OEEFs on the mechanical force required to activate mechanophores. We demonstrate that OEEFs can greatly lower the rupture force of mechanophores, and that the degree of this effect highly depends on the angle relative to the mechanical force at which the field is being applied. The greatest lowering of the rupture force does not always occur at the point of perfect alignment between OEEF and the vector of mechanical force. By combining methods to simulate molecules in OEEFs with methods applying mechanical force, we present an effective tool for analyzing mechanophores in OEEFs and show that computationally determining optimal OEEFs for mechanophore activation can assist in the development of future experimental studies.

Published: May 2023

Solid-oxide fuel cells are efficient devices for the conversion of chemical to electrical energy and a typical solid-oxide fuel cell consists of a solid electrolyte, cathode, and anode. In the last few decades, researchers have been working extensively on materials development for different components of these devices. In this review article, we briefly discuss the requirements for different components and review prominent materials families explored by the scientific community. As the search for greener energy alternatives such as solid-oxide fuel cells have intensified manifold due to the climate change emergency, a substantial literature was produced on the materials development of these devices and, therefore, we believe a brief review article dedicated to the same will be valuable for the scientific community, particularly new young entrant researchers in the field.

Problematyka ciągłości łańcucha dostaw w spożywczym biznesie ekologicznym
Authors: Strużyna Agnieszka
Published: May 2023

Cel - Celem artykułu jest kompleksowe podejście do tematu łańcuchów dostaw w branży certyfikowanej żywności ekologicznej. Omówienie cech identyfikujących wybraną gałąź  łańcuchów dostaw, omówienie podstawowych metod działania w tym obszarze oraz omówienie wybranych ryzyk, które można w nim zidentyfikować.

Metodologia – Do opracowania artykułu zastosowano przekrój literatury naukowej z ostatnich piętnastu lat, dokumenty unijne związane z zagadnieniem oraz najświeższe źródła internetowe – strony branżowe zarówno związane z logistyką i łańcuchami dostaw, jak i żywnością ekologiczną. Dane i informacje z tych dwóch gałęzi zostały przeanalizowane, a następnie połączone i prezentują obecną sytuacje w obszarze łańcuchów dostaw żywności ekologicznej.

Wnioski – Łańcuch dostaw żywności ekologicznej różni się od łańcucha dostaw żywności konwencjonalnej. Związane jest to z innymi parametrami jakościowymi dla obu rodzajów żywności oraz innymi oczekiwaniami konsumentów. Rozwój rynku żywności BIO wymusza rozwój krótkich łańcuchów dostaw. W przyszłości skrócenie łańcuchów dostaw, zwłaszcza w przemyśle spożywczym będzie coraz istotniejsze. W konstruowaniu łańcucha dostaw certyfikowanej żywności ekologicznej należy stawiać nacisk na przepływ informacji pomiędzy poszczególnymi ogniwami, bo zmniejsza to ryzyko przerwania łańcucha dostaw, łańcucha chłodniczego i marnotrawienia żywności.

Even so, in real life Muslims are still far from the values â€‹â€‹of the ummahatan wasathan. Therefore, this study tries to study the ummah of wasathan according to Quraish Shihab in Tafsir al-Misbah and Buya Hamka in Tafsir al-Azhar. The aim is to understand the interpretation and concept of Ummatan Wasathan according to the two figures, as well as the relevance of the interpretation concept to the values â€‹â€‹of Pancasila. Literature research. This research uses documentation techniques and descriptive-analytical methods. This research also uses the comparison method. The results of this study were obtained from: according to Quraish Shihab and Buya Hamka, ummatan wasathan were: (a) People who have the power of faith who need istiqomah towards Allah and His Messenger; (B) Wise people who have common sense; (c) A people who love unity and unity; (d) Inclusive people; role model, and fair; (e) People who have a high balance or stability. The concept of M. Quraish Shihab and Buya Hamka's interpretation of the Ummah wasathan is very relevant to the basis of the Republic of Indonesia, namely Pancasila.
CHALLENGES IN EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF JUVENILE DERMATOMYOSITIS: A BRIEF REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE AND A CASE STUDY
Authors: Mamedova Sevda , Surkhay N.
Published: May 2023

Juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) is an autoimmune, relatively rare multisystem disease of unknown etiology, of which late diagnosis and late initiation of therapy can lead to a child's disability and even lethal outcome. The disease begins in most cases at the age of 5–12 years though can manifest itself both in earlier, and at more advanced age. This disease has a pronounced clinical polymorphism, which complicates early diagnosis and therapy. The article provides a brief overview of research car-ried out in recent years. A rare case of development of juvenile dermatomyositis in a teenager is con-sidered. Attention is drawn to the complexity of staging this disease during the initial treatment for medical care. A positive dynamics of the course of the disease was shown against the background of correctly selected therapy. The importance of adherence to the prescribed treatment is indicated, the refusal of which can lead to adverse outcomes

With a new coronavirus infection caused by SARS-CoV-2, cancer patients with malignant neoplasms are the most vulnerable group of people. Cancer patients are at a higher risk of severe COVID-19, and for them the vaccination of a new coronavirus infection is crucial. For cancer patients, the study of the effectiveness and safety of vaccination of a new coronavirus infection in large groups was not carried out. The available recommendations are based on data obtained on the safety and effectiveness of vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 in the general population, as well as on the study of the effectiveness and safety of other vaccines in cancer patients. It is believed that the potential benefits of vaccines against a new coronavirus infection outweigh the risks and therefore vaccination in these patients is recommended by cancer communities. All guidelines for the immunoprophylaxis of a new corona-virus infection in patients with oncopathology are temporary and will change as new data become available. It is necessary to personalize vaccination against COVID-19 in cancer patients. The problem of vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 in cancer patients requires in-depth study, conducting clinical tri-als from the standpoint of evidence-based medicine and evaluation on a sufficiently large number of patients.

Göç, son yıllarda sık sık tartışılan konulardan biridir. Bu nedenle bu çalışmanın amacı seçilmiş ülkelerde göçün ekonomik büyüme üzerindeki etkisini ortaya koymaktır. Çalışmada göç ve ekonomik büyüme ile ilgili ampirik literatür incelenerek farklı ülkeler üzerinden örnekler verilmektedir. Göçün seçilmiş ülkelerin ekonomik büyüme üzerindeki etkileri, 2006–2017 dönemine ait verilerle tahmin edilmektedir. Ülke seçiminde 2011 yılından itibaren en fazla Suriyeli mülteci alan ülkeler kriteri dikkate alınmıştır. Bu kapsamda analizde Türkiye, Lübnan, Ürdün, Almanya, Irak, Mısır, İsveç, Avusturya, Amerika ve Kanada’ya ait veriler kullanılmıştır. Çalışmamızın sonucunda ülkeye gelen mültecilerin ekonomik büyümeye katkısının pozitif ve istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ülkeye gelen mülteci sayısında %1 oranında artış ekonomik büyüme oranında %0.01’lik artışa sebep olmaktadır.

Bireyler arası sosyal ağlar, güven, norm, karşılıklılık gibi değerler ve sivil katılım, dayanışma gibi pratiklerden meydana gelen sosyal sermaye, her toplum için kolektif yaşama yön veren önemli bir kaynak konumundadır. Sosyal sermayenin toplumsal ilişkilerin şekillendiği yakın sosyal çevrede araştırılmasına odaklanılan bu çalışmada, eğitim durumu ve gelir düzeyi gibi demografik değişkenleri bireylerin sahip olduğu sosyal sermaye üzerindeki etkisi, Ankara ili Çankaya ve Mamak İlçelerinde karşılaştırmalı olarak incelenmiştir. Araştırmada ortaya çıkan bulgular ışığında, bilhassa kurumsal olan ve kurumsal olmayan güven boyutu, ikamet edilmekte olan ilçe, eğitim durumu ve gelir düzeyleri açısından dikkat çekici farklılaşmalara neden olmaktadır. Söz konusu farklılaşmanın, sosyal sermayeye anlamlı şekilde etki ettiği ve Mamak’ta ikamet edenlerin, Çankaya’da ikamet etmekte olanlara göre daha yüksek sosyal sermaye skoru elde etmesini sağladığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Eğitim bağlamında bakıldığında, eğitim seviyesi yükseldikçe ters orantılı olarak sosyal sermaye skorlarının azaldığı görülmüştür. Kurumsal sivil katılımının ise ilçeler bazında kurumların yapısı açısından değişkenlik gösterdiği gözlenmiştir.

Küreselleşmenin etkisiyle uluslararası ticaretin ve buna bağlı olarak lojistik faaliyetlerin önemi her geçen gün artmaktadır. Uluslararası ticaretin ve lojistik sektörünün artan önemi doğrultusunda kaynakların etkin ve verimli kullanılmasını sağlayacak nitelikli uzman işgücü ihtiyacı da artırmaktadır. Türkiye’de sektörün ihtiyacı olan nitelikli işgücü yetiştirmek amacıyla Uluslararası Ticaret ve Lojistik lisans programları 2008 yılından itibaren eğitim vermeye başlamıştır. Uluslararası Ticaret ve Lojistik lisans programlarında çeşitli muhasebe ve finans dersleri verilmekle birlikte, bu derslerin yeterli olup olmadığı tartışma konusudur. Bu araştırma ile Türkiye’deki üniversitelerde Uluslararası Ticaret ve Lojistik lisans programlarında yer alan muhasebe ve finansman derslerinin mevcut durumu tespit edilerek ve üniversiteler arasında karşılaştırma yaparak muhasebe ve finans dersleri açısından eksikleri tespit etmek ve eğitim planı güncelleme çalışmalarında yol göstermek amaçlanmaktadır. Araştırma sonucunda özellikle alana yönelik muhasebe ve finans derslerinin bazı üniversitelerde hiç bulunmadığı, seçmeli ders olarak eğitim planlarında alana yönelik muhasebe ve finans derslerine yer verilen üniversitelerde de seçmeli derslerin açılma oranının yeterli düzeyde olmadığı görülmüştür.

Maskotlar, şehir markaları için hedef kitlenin dikkatini çekebilen ve onların zihinlerinde kolay yer edinebilen tanıtım araçlarıdır. Şehirler ile hedef kitleler arasında duygusal bağ kurmada önemli rol oynayan maskotlar, şehirlerin markalaşma sürecine önemli katkı sunmaktadır. Özellikle şehirlerin ortak değerlerini yansıtan ve şehrin sosyal dokusu ile uyumlu maskotların, şehirleri rakiplerinden farklılaştıracağı ve hedef kitle zihninde daha güçlü bir imajın oluşmasını sağlayacağını söylemek mümkündür. Mevcut araştırma ile timsah maskotunun, Bursa’nın şehir imajına olan etkisinin ölçülmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Araştırma kapsamında timsah maskotu algıları ile Bursa’nın şehir imajı arasında ilişkiyi ortaya koymak amacıyla nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden ilişkisel desen tercih edilmiştir. Söz konusu araştırmada kolayda örnekleme yöntemine göre belirlenmiş Bursa’da yaşayan 309 şehir sakinine anket yapılarak veriler toplanmış ve analiz edilmiştir. Bu kapsamda timsah maskotu ile şehir imajı arasında pozitif yönlü anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu ve timsah maskotunun Bursa şehir imajı üzerinde olumlu bir etkisinin olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Çalışmada maskotların ticari markaların imajlarına sağladığı katkılardan farklı olarak şehir marka imajına olan katkısı tespit edilmiştir. Bu yönüyle şehir markası ve marka maskot literatüründeki boşlukların giderilmesi ve bu bağlamda gelecek çalışmalar için yol gösterici olması bakımından önem taşımaktadır.

According to the ILO Convention No. 102, family benefits are a social security branch established to compensate for the increase in the expenditure of those protected due to the expenses necessary for the care of the children, they are responsible for, and to protect the level of life they have reached before the child's existence. Periodic payments made to those who take care of the child within the scope of the family benefits social security branch are generally called child benefits. Child benefit is the most basic and common type of benefit provided under the family benefits social security branch. It is possible to find child benefits in all countries where there is an institutional family benefits social security branch. Child benefit can make positive contributions in many such areas as increasing the fertility and population of the country, reducing poverty, preventing child poverty and extending the country's welfare level to the whole society. In this respect, countries develop different child benefit practices by developing different benefit conditions depending on their population policies and economic development levels. In this study, current practices in EU member countries are examined on the basis of minimum standards of child benefits under the Convention No. 102 and a comparative analysis of these practices is presented. As a result of the study, it has been seen that all parents residing in EU member countries have the opportunity to benefit from child benefits for their children residing in these countries, and child benefits are provided without premium except Austria and France.
