Menurut WHO (2020) sekitar 10% ibu hamil mengalami depresi dan kondisi ini lebih tinggi terjadi pada negara berkembang yaitu mencapai 15,6% selama kehamilan dan 19,8% setelah melahirkan. Pada trimester III kecemasan yang dirasakan ibu hamil semakin meningkat dikarenakan persalinan yang semakin dekat dan bayangan negatif tentang persalinan seperti ketakutan tidak bisa melahirkan, nyeri persalinan atau komplikasi yang tidak terduga. Ibu hamil yang mengalami kecemasan membutuhkan upaya untuk menurunkannya. Ibu hamil dengan kecemasan akan meningkatkan kejadian preeklamsia sampai 7,84 kali lipat sehingga jika tidak segera ditangani akan berdampak pada kesejahteraan ibu dan bayi. Salah satu jenis senam yang efektif untuk menurunkan kecemasan adalah senam pernapasan tera. Senam tera merupakan olahraga pernapasan yang dipadu dengan gerak dan diadopsi dari senam Tai Chi. Seluruh gerakan pada senam tera dapat menurunkan kecemasan (ansietas), stress, dan menurunkan tingkat depresi. Pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk mengatasi kecemasan ibu hamil menghadapi persalinan dengan pemberian senam pernapasan tera. Pengabdian masyarakat dilakukan di RW 07 Leuwigajah kepada 10 orang ibu hamil. Sebelum intervensi, diketahui bahwa sebagian besar ibu hamil mengalami tingkat kecemasan sedang sebanyak 7 orang (70%) dan sebagian kecil mengalami tingkat kecemasan berat sebanyak 3 orang (30%). Setelah ibu hamil mengikuti kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat bersama tim pengabdi dan melakukan senam tera terjadi penurunan tingkat kecemasan yaitu sebanyak 8 orang (80%) menjadi tidak cemas dan 2 orang (20%) dengan kecemasan ringan. Kesimpulan kegiatan olah pernapasan  senam  tera  dapat  menurunkan  tingkat  kecemasan  dalam
 
 
 
menghadapi persalinan pada ibu hamil. Ibu hamil dapat melakukan olah pernapasan senam tera sebagai salah satu penatalaksanaan dalam menurunkan tingkat kecemasan ibu hamil menghadapi persalinan.

Etik Yönetim: Şeffaflık ve Hesap Verebilirlik
Authors: Ulaşkın Şükriye
Published: December 2024

20. yüzyılın başında Amerika ve Avrupa’da yaşanan büyük şirket skandalları ve şirketlerin toplumsal alanda sahip oldukları gücün artmasına bağlı olarak, hissedarların ve paydaşların beklentilerinde önemli değişiklikler olmuştur. Şirketlerin yalnızca ekonomik fayda üretmesi gereken kurumlar olduğu yönündeki etik anlayış değişmiştir. Toplumlar artık şirketlerden ekonomik sorumluluklar dışında ahlaki, sosyal ve gönüllük esasına dayalı farklı beklentilere sahiptir. Bu beklentilerden biri de ahlaka uygun bir yönetim tarzıdır. Etiğin, bir organizasyon içinde profesyonel bir biçimde yönetilebileceğini savunan ahlaki yönetim anlayışı literatürde etik yönetim olarak kavramsallaştırılmaktadır. Etik yönetim, hissedarlar dışında kalan diğer paydaşların da beklentilerini dikkate alması yönüyle geleneksel hissedar yaklaşımından farklılaşmaktadır. Paydaşların beklentilerini dikkate almak şirketlerin uzun vadeli hedeflerine ulaşması bakımından önemli olduğundan, şirketlerde etik yönetim, güncel bir uygulama halini almıştır. Hissedarlar dışında tüm paydaşların çıkarlarını gözeten kurumsal yönetim anlayışı, etik yönetim için uygun bir zemine sahiptir. 1999 yılında OECD’nin yayınladığı ilkeleri takiben kurumsal yönetim kavramını ülkeler kendi kültürlerine uyarlamış ve zaman içerisinde dünyada yaygınlık kazanan bir uygulama halini almıştır. Türkiye’de Sermaye Piyasası Kurulu, kurumsal yönetimin temel ilkelerini adalet, dürüstlük, şeffaflık ve hesap verebilirlik olarak düzenlemiştir. Bu ilkeler, şirketin tüm paydaşlarının menfaatlerini koruyarak paydaşlar arasında denge kurmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu çalışmada, etik yönetim doğrultusunda ele alınan şeffaflık ve hesap verebilirlik, yatırımcıların kararlarına etki etmesi yönüyle yöneticilerin ve şirketlerin dikkate alması gereken ilkeler olarak ön plana çıkmaktadır. Etik yönetim, sosyal sorumluluk, paydaşlık ve kurumsal yönetim gibi kavramlar birbirinden bağımsız yönetim uygulamaları olmayıp birbirlerini tamamlamaktadırlar. Bu doğrultuda bu çalışma, söz konusu kavramlar arasındaki ilişkiselliği yakalaması bakımından önem arz etmektedir.

Authors: Pertama Henerges Anakita , Tiatri Sri
Published: December 2024

Kehidupan mahasiswa pada era globalisasi, melibatkan teknologi sebagai alat yang dapat membantu mereka dalam menjalankan kehidupan sehari-harinya. Dalam era ini, hubungan antar manusia secara langsung mulai berkurang karena dimudahkan dengan teknologi. Empati dipahami sebagai kemampuan untuk merasakan dan memahami perasaan orang lain, sedangkan kualitas hubungan interpersonal mencakup aspek Support Conflict, dan Depth . Sampel penelitian terdiri dari 260 mahasiswa dari berbagai jurusan yang diambil secara acak. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan kuesioner yang mengukur tingkat empati dengan skala Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) dan kualitas hubungan interpersonal melalui skala Quality of Relationship Inventory (QRI). Analisis data dilakukan dengan menggunakan uji korelasi Spearman. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan koefisien korelasi sebesar -0,150 dengan nilai signifikansi 0,015, mengindikasikan adanya hubungan negatif yang signifikan antara empati dan kualitas hubungan interpersonal, meskipun dengan tingkat kekuatan hubungan yang lemah. Hasil dari penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa semakin tinggi empati yang dimiliki mahasiswa, semakin rendah kualitas hubungan interpersonal yang dimiliki mahasiswa, serta sebaliknya. Hasil dalam penelitian ini tidak sesuai dengan teori yang mengatakan adanya hubungan positif antara kedua variabel ini. Diharapkan adanya penelitian lebih lanjut mengenai hubungan Empati dan Kualitas Hubungan Interpersonal pada penelitian selanjutnya

Published: December 2024

Background: The Rearranged during Transfection (RET) gene mutations are known to be responsible for Hirschsprung disease (HSCR), as well as the multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) types 2A, 2B and familial medullary thyroid carcinoma (FMTC). Aim: In this study we analyse mutations of codon 618 (Cys618Phe, Cys618Arg, Cys618Ser, Cys618Tyr) in exon 10, in terms of their structural similarities, stability, conservation and interaction with their close interactor GFRA3 protein. Material and Methods: In the present study, multiple bioinformatics software was used, including HGMD and UniProt for the data collection. The structural prediction of different mutations at codon 618 was performed by using PSIPRED for secondary structure prediction and I-TASSER for 3D structure modelling. The mutated proteins stability was determined, using I- Mutant and MuPro, while the evolutionary amino acids conservation was assessed with the ConSurf tool. The wildtype RET and mutant proteins were independently docked with their nearby interactor protein GFRA3.Findings: The analysis indicates that among the examined mutations, the Cys618Phe displayed the greatest structural and functional similarity to the wildtype RET protein. The interaction analysis suggested that the Cys618Phe demonstrated stronger binding with GFRA3 compared to other mutations. Conclusion: This study highlights the impact of codon 618 mutations in exon 10 of the RET gene on protein stability, structure, and interactions with GFRA3. We find mutation Cys618Phe comparatively similar to RET wildtype protein while dissimilar mutation Cys618Tyr. These findings could help a molecular geneticist in analyzing mutations at codon 618 for both research and diagnostic purpose.
Implementing multi criteria decision making methods for computing complexity involved in industrial investment castings
Authors: Maheta Nikunj , Sata Amit
Published: December 2024

Investment casting is admired for its ability to produce industrial castings with remarkable precision, exceptional exterior finish and complex designs among diverse industrial application. Traditionally, the complexity of these castings is generally assessed qualitatively while quantitative measurement of this complexity remains largely unexplored. To identify the various parameters that affects the complexity of industrial investment casting, an in-person industrial survey was carried out in one of the major investment casting clusters that accounts for nearly 25% of India’s investment casting foundries. Through this survey it was found that complexity of investment casting is determined by three factors related to geometry, features and manufacturability. These three factors are further driven by 19 elements and 52 attributes. These 52 attributes are further characterised by 212 meta-attributes. This research focuses on applying multi-criteria decision-making methods to quantify the complexity affects in manufacturing industrial investment castings. Numerous methodologies within the domain of Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) have been explored to determine the appropriate weightage for the factors, elements, attributes and meta-attributes involved. It was observed that for the specific problem mentioned, the Weighted Criteria Approach (WCA) and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) were identified as suitable choices, aligning well with the required level of accuracy. The result obtained through these methods were used to compute the complexity of industrial castings. The proposed complexity index was validated using various industrial castings and proved to be a valuable tool for designers in adopting investment casting process for producing complex castings.
Violence and identity in modern Nigeria
Authors: Mayer Adam
Published: December 2024

Nigeria, a failing state with the second highest incidence of terrorist attacks worldwide and a simmering, low intensity civil conflict as well as protest and secessionist movements, is a place where intersectionality does not stop at class or at gender. Nigeria’s structural violence and atrocities happen at the intersection of ethnic, religious, sub-religious, linguistic, and occupational groups, as well as class and sex. It is a polity where indigeneity creates a kaleidoscope of state (provincial level) apartheids, where sharia is practiced in criminal law in all but one of the Northern states, and where the law of the land, including a bastardized version of juju as well as feudal law, all remain valid sources of law along with common law, allowing for rampant thuggery and voter intimidation, and abuse of tenants by feudatories, with government sanction. The country, ostensibly democratic, is ruled by former military heads of state, with the help of the army, which is deployed in the majority of the states. The federal polity is subject to many centrifugal forces that actively threaten to fuel an explosion in the 2020s.
Turkey’s growing interest in the African continent
Authors: Besenyo Janos
Published: December 2024

In the last decades major and regional powers became more and more involved in the economy of the African continent, where there is a so called “second scramble” for Africa’s raw materials. This is a major example of multiple economic and other possibilities Africa provides. Dozens of books and studies tell about the African presence of great powers such as the USA, China, Russia, UK or France. We know less about the regional powers that become increasingly important, such as Turkey, India, Japan, Brazil or Iran. Regional powers offer alternatives for African countries who want to cooperate with other states based on their genuine national interests. In this article I present Turkish-African relations because Turkey is a rising power in political, economic and other terms increasingly influencing the African continent. This fact became so obvious that the African Union recognized Turkey as its strategic partner since 2008. Turkey developed good relations with the North African countries because of its historic connections, but Ankara is also getting evermore involved in the economy of Sub-Saharian countries. This is done not only in the framework of inter-governmental cooperation but through Turkish Government-backed organizations – such as IHH and TIKA – and also by Turkish companies. This increased Turkish interest is greatly visible since there are more and more Turkish diplomatic missions in the continent. Turkey emphasises that Ankara also takes part in various humanitarian and reconstruction aid programs, mostly in Somalia, where Turkey is involved in the restoration of the country. The result of this is that Turkey has become an unavoidable actor not only in North Africa but also in East Africa. Furthermore, Turkey is engaged in cultural and educational activities, that is why many African students are studying in Turkish universities and multiple Turkish educational institutes are established and run in numerous African countries. I will specifically deal with the strengthening military, defence and security cooperation between Turkey and African countries.
Terrorism as a challenge for promotion of human security in Africa
Authors: Langa Mmaphuti Felicia
Published: December 2024

The increasingly transnational and multifaceted nature of terrorism calls for a strong multilateral response. States have the primary responsibility for protecting their populations from the threats posed by terrorism. At the same time, given the often cross-regional nature of the terrorist threat, mechanisms for effective cooperation are needed at the global and regional levels. To this end, the international, continental and regional organisations have an important role to play. Human security is relevant in understanding terrorism and counterterrorism approaches. Using Mozambique’s Cabo Delgado province as a case study, this paper seeks to address how and why terrorism creates challenges in promoting human security in the province. The purpose of the paper is to assess the extent to which terrorism has real and direct impact on human security, with devastating consequences for the government and citizens.  The paper argues that terrorism creates terror, a feeling of insecurity, and the idea that leaders can no longer protect those they lead. In addition to these individual costs, terrorism can destabilize governments, undermine civil society, jeopardize peace and security, and threaten social and economic development. The key issues to be appraised include discussion of the causes of conflict in Mozambique’s Cabo Delgado province, terrorism as a major threat to Human security in Cabo Delgado province, the international and regional interventions in the province and government intervention.
DNS educational system as a device helping to prevent the spread of radicalisation in Malawi
Authors: Szeremley Csaba , Juhász Péter Gergő
Published: December 2024

In the last 5 years, extreme radicalisation has increased in the northern provinces of Mozambique leading to numerous violent acts. Malawi is only one province away from Cabo Delgado (where the outburst of violence is the most significant) and yet no terrorist attacks have been reported. However, it is very important to focus on Malawi as the rural settings of the “Warm Heart of Africa” and northern Mozambique are very similar. Both places have poor education and are stricken by poverty. In this article it is argued that however there are no undoubted arguments for it, still, good quality education can mitigate the chances of spreading extreme radicalisation through overcoming poverty and helping to give children a very strong moral ground and knowledge. A very effective teacher training system, the DNS is introduced. DNS means The Necessary Teacher Training College and was first established in Denmark in 1972. DNS has been operating in Malawi since 2003 and has significant achievements in training primary school teachers for rural posts.

Is Nigeria Ripe for Break Up?
Authors: Tindo Kaze , Ndobegang Michael
Published: December 2024

The major challenges which threaten the territorial integrity of Nigeria, black Africa’s political and economic giant are very unsettling but appear insufficient to predict the country’s imminent balkanization. Mindful of the threat from inside Cameroon and the vested role of France, there seems to be an uneasy reprieve that could make Nigeria the sick man of the West Central African region in the near future.  This paper analyses how Nigeria’s successful manipulation of her relations with Cameroon and France may help forestall the country’s breakup. It argues that the support and friendship of other countries may not cure Nigeria’s woes but plunge it into prolonged instability. The emergence of armed separatist movements known as ‘‘Ambazonia’’ in the northwest and southwest regions of Cameroon some of whom seeking alliances with their Nigerian as a result of their ideological and geographical proximity has potential fateful consequences. On the other hand, French economic and strategic interests which expose the marginalization decried by Nigerian secessionist groups sustain the disintegration agenda. How does Nigeria react in the face of outreach initiatives by Cameroonian separatist movements? How does Nigeria exploit France’s privileged relationship with Cameroon to save itself from disintegration? This contribution concludes that Nigeria’s relationship with other countries may not solve its problems but transform the country into a long-term theatre of instability.

Authors: Okon Enoch Ndem
Published: December 2024

This paper discusses the tripodal menace of terrorism, banditry and separatism as the centrifugal forces that threatened the existence of Nigerian State; and seeks to assuage the fear of morselization of Nigerian state by identifying six resiliencies that guard against the collapse of Nigeria. It concludes that the tripodal security challenges can be transformed into instruments for nation and state building. The paper therefore recommends the provision of homeland for nomadic Fulanis, an election of an Igbo President, as well as the restructuring of the polity as recommended in the 2014 National Conference Report. It also recommends the promotion of the Rule of Law, Justice, Equity and Fairness in the polity, especially in the handling of repentant terrorists and the rehabilitation of victims of these security challenges.

Authors: Türke Andras Istvan
Published: December 2024

The Economic Community of West African States, with French and Portuguese abbreviation: CEDEAO, abbreviated in English: ECOWAS, has currently fifteen members.  The mainly political and economic regional cooperation, established in 1975 in the former French, Portuguese, and English territories, is the most significant form of integrated cooperation in West Africa. One of the eight African Regional Communities, and two of the six African Sub-Regional Economic Communities are members of the ECOWAS; it has eight members from the WAEMU (West African Economic and Monetary Community) and three out of fifteen members of the MRU (Mano River Union).
The aim of this paper is to outline the integration mechanism of the ECOWAS, from historical backgrounds (including colonial heritage) to the integration of the decolonization process, its organizational structure, economic and monetary role, and its role in Africa. The analysis also looks at the proactive role of the ECOWAS member states in the continent's integration efforts.
Turkey’s Military Role in Libya and Its Wider Strategic Environment (interest) in the Eastern Mediterranean Basin
Authors: Málnássy András
Published: December 2024

As a result of the Arab Spring and the return to building the sphere of interest of the Ottoman past, Turkey’s relations with the countries of the North African region are increasingly appreciating, and they seem to be a longer-term vision in Turkish geopolitical thinking. Libya has historically been a part of the Ottoman Empire, a traditionally Turkish sphere of interest in this sense. The study seeks to present the drivers and goals of Turkish foreign policy in relation to a North African state, Libya. In the analysis, examining Turkey’s expansive foreign policy, we can also get an idea of how Ankara intends to increase its sphere of interest in the wider region, namely in the Eastern Mediterranean, through its military support.

Social media provide platforms for small businesses that neither have the funds nor can compete favourably for advertisement space and time with large-scale businesses to create awareness for their goods and services.

Türkiye's Immigration Landscape: Cultural Exchange and Labor Dynamics with Africa
Authors: ÖZUYGUN Mert Efe
Published: December 2024

Türkiye’s relations with the African continent trace back to the periods of the Ottoman Empire’s existence there. Beginning with trade, continuing education, and improving labor force requirements continue to strengthen relations with the Modern Türkiye. As a result of the transformations the African continent has undergone in recent years, Türkiye wants to take advantage of the opportunities in the region, increasing its reputation through civil society organizations and aid agencies, while exerting a protective and reassuring influence in the region through military cooperation. Due to factors triggering migration from African countries, Türkiye and Europe are seen as a new hope for immigrants. In addition to the increasing need for the labor force, affordable education, and scholarship opportunities, the university entrance exam prepared specifically for foreign students also makes Türkiye an attractive center. In this article, you will witness the journey stories of hope that often begin with aspirations to become football players, the changes in the perception of Africans over the years through the power of social media, and the factors influencing this, as well as the importance of arts, music, films, and television series in shaping society. From the challenges faced by African communities seeking hope in a new country to the conveniences provided by government institutions during the integration process, all these processes are addressed in this article.

Military Regimes In The Sahel As Recruitment Sergeants For Rebel Governance
Authors: Edet Samuel , Edet Efefiong , Confidence Nwankwo
Published: December 2024

The recent cases of the de-democratisation of Sahelian states, such as Mali and Burkina Faso, driven by the emergence of military regimes, have been presented as responses to severe security crises occasioned by the activities of transnational violent extremist organisations. Nevertheless, the existence of such regimes has not corresponded with drastic improvements in security outcomes, as evidenced by the rapidly escalating incidents of violence and human insecurity that have particularly rocked Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger. In this paper, using a multiple case study design, we outline the argument that the proliferation of these regimes hastens the ascent of these states to “state failure-hood” as they legitimise “rebel governance” exemplified by violent extremist organisations such as the Sahelian franchises of transnational terrorist organisations such as the Islamic State and Al Qaeda through the “securitisation of peace” through the use of techniques that further affect already poor “state-civil society” relations. We clarify our arguments using qualitative data drawn from the triangulation of secondary data sources and analyses using thematic content analysis.
