Authors: Hasmidyani Dwi , Fatimah Siti , Firmansyah Firmansyah
Published: September 2018

The potential of developing and fostering the entrepreneurial spirit of the young generation in RW 11 Sukarami Palembang urban village was enormous, but the fostering of entrepreneurship spirit  had not been optimal yet because the education level of most target audiences was high school graduates who lacked knowledge in entrepreneurship. As a result, many potential creative ideas in starting a business had not been explored optimally. The aim of this business planning training was expected to instill the entrepreneurial spirit into this young generation. It is hoped that  they were motivated to start their own businesses that suit their own talents or hobbies and they were able to utilize existing resources and capital to create economic value goods. Several different methods were used in the training such as lecture, game, discussion, question and answer, and business planning practice. During the training, the participants were invited to present their business plans. The results of the evaluation of 22 trainees, in general, show that there was an increase of knowledge and understanding after the participants had been exposed to the materials of entrepreneurship and business planning.

This community service program is motivated by a number of incidents that have befallen Indonesian citizens staying abroad. Most of the cases could be attributable to one single factor: the lack of information about the rules and regulations in the foreign country. This lack could have been compensated by requesting for consular assistance from the local KBRI (the Indonesian Embassy) or KJRI (the Indonesian Consul General) as well as getting information from the local citizens. This activity is done to High School Grade 3 students because after graduating from high school they have an opportunity to go abroad, either to continue education, work, or for recreation. By providing legal counseling and English training they will be better prepared if the plan to go the country is done. The method employed in this program was providing counsel to Indonesian citizens on the roles of KBRI and KJRI as well as instruction on useful English expressions that they will need if they are involved in any incidents in another country. This program was effective as the target participants were the twelfth-grade students who might want to go abroad for a number of reasons such as studying, working or going on vacation. It took place in the Tangerang Regency, the province of Banten, where such program had never been provided for the participants. It is suggested that future programs should include simulations and role plays, e.g. talking to immigration officers in a foreign country.
Capacitive Performance of Water-in-Salt Electrolyte in Supercapacitors: a Simulation Study
Authors: Li Zhujie , Jeanmairet Guillaume , Mendez-Morales Trinidad , Rotenberg Benjamin , Salanne Mathieu
Published: September 2018

Water-in-salts is a new family of electrolytes with very promising electrochemical properties for energy storage applications. Despite several studies involving them inside Li-ion batteries and supercapacitors, their interfacial properties remain largely unknown. Here we simulate the interface between electrified graphite electrodes and a highly concentrated waterin- salt (where the salt is Bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide lithium, LiTFSI) using constant applied potential molecular dynamics. We show that the capacitance differs markedly between the positive and the negative electrodes, which is due to the large asymmetry in size (andshape) between the ions. By using importance sampling, we further investigate the changes in the structure of the salt at the interface and we observe that large variations occur, that are atthe origin of a series of peaks in the differential capacitance.

Ni(0)-Catalyzed α-Allylic Alkylation of Regular Ketones with 1,3-Dienes under pH and Redox-neutral Conditions
Authors: Chen Tiantian , Yang Yang , Xie Liyu , Yang Haijian , Dong Guangbin , Xing Dong
Published: September 2018

We report a Ni(0)-catalyzed cross coupling reaction between simple ketones and 1,3-dienes. A variety of a-allylic alkylation products were formed in an 1,2-addition manner with excellent regioselectivity. Water was found to significantly accelerate this transformation. A HO-Ni-H species generated from oxidative addition of Ni(0) to H2O is proposed to play a “dual role” in activating both the ketone and the diene substrate.
The importance of the Alma Ata principles of equity and voice, through intersectoral investment and leadership, in achieving the health and nutrition Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
Authors: Keith Regina Susan
Published: September 2018

It is now forty years since 134 countries, 67 international organisations including NGOs (Non- governmental organisations) met at an innovative three-day conference, to agree on the best approach to improve global health (WHO 1978). The Alma Ata Declaration called for global commitments to achieving Health for All by the year 2000. It was based on the principles of equity and community participation in health planning and policy making, through an intersectoral approach. As stakeholders prepare to meet in Astana in Octber, to agree on the new Global Health Declaration, we must reflect on lessons learned in the last 40 years to ensure that we can achieve Health for all by the year 2030.
The Impact of Danish Green Building Certification (DGNB) on organizations work processes and documentation work
Authors: Selman Aysar , Saaby Trine , Munch Birgitte
Published: September 2018

DGNB (Danish Green Building Certification) is a certification which is adapted to Danish legislation and norms from a German certification for sustainable construction. Today there is an increasing number of partners involved in this certification, and many discussions evolves around the effects of producing a DGNB certification of a building. To achieve the chosen certification level, extensive documentation of tests, calculations and processes is required. Traditionally, production of documentation is integrated into or sidelines the (physical) construction process, but a DGNB certification will require implementation of new tasks, processes, and procedures. The introduction of new practical tasks, as well as through a development of visibility and responsibility for production and handling of documentation, a DGNB certification will by producing a common database for all DGNB documentation, transform the involved organizations and open for changes in construction practices and building design. Our research is aimed to help qualify and improve a DGNB certification, by making the involved parties able to gain an insight into the various challenges. This will help to draw up a plan for work tasks involved, and create efficient modes of work, to achieve the respective grades and criteria of a DGNB certified building. A qualitative method has been used in the form of literacy assessment and semi-structured interviews conducted with a DGNB auditor and an architect involved in DGNB certification processes, along with a questionnaire that allows researchers to investigate the challenges of organizations to fulfill the demands for documentation. The interviews are analyzed to detect and unfold challenging issues of the organizations. The discussion presents experiences and issues that were challenged within a DGNB certification process, pointing out some key factors in improving workflows and improving the effectiveness of the documentation.

A SWOT Analysis of Nepalese Agricultural Policy
Authors: GC Arun , GHİMİRE Kiran
Published: September 2018

Agriculture, which generates two-third of the employment and one-third of the GDP in Nepal, is an important sector since Nepal is a small, landlocked country with low
income. The government enacted the National Agriculture Policy in 2004 (NAP-2004)
as an umbrella policy in the agricultural sector to guide all sectoral policies
coming in the future. The paper has examined NAP-2004 by using the Strength,
Weakness, Opportunity and Threat (SWOT) analysis technique. For the analysis,
secondary data, the publications of the government and the international
organizations as well as peer-reviewed articles were reviewed. The strength and
weakness were analyzed by using nine different indicators. The results of the
paper will be instrumental for improvement of the agricultural policy.

Individual and Business Environment: How Effective Interaction Affects SME Development
Authors: Das Supriyo , Kundu Amit
Published: September 2018

Exploring and conceptualizing different aspect of entrepreneurship is top priority of policymakers at present days. Importance of entrepreneurial research is increasing day by day in the present complex and changing business environment. In this regard, it has become absolutely pertinent to re-examine the mechanism of interaction between environment and personality in entrepreneurial ecosystem to understand its impact on entrepreneurial development on MSME perspectives. Perfect interaction of personality characteristics with institutional variables can lead towards sustainable development. Significant personality characteristics or optimum business environment can’t alone make any difference. It is the magnitude of proper interaction between them which can increase the resultant vector in many folds. An attempt has been made in this paper to identify the significant interaction variables that can create impact during different entrepreneurial growth stage. The research is of a dynamic and multiregional structure and was conducted on the target sample based on the longitudinal study of GEDI (Global Entrepreneurship Development Institute report) report 2012-2016. The study confirms that interaction within ecosystem is complex as well as different in nature for different stage of business. The present study also xplores the intricate situation and developed a suitable model for each stage of business development. The most notable part of this study is considering the heteroscedasticity and autocorrelation of the data. Panel Corrected Standard Error (PCSE) model has been used in our paper. The analysis of the present study indicates the positive and negative interaction variables for each stage of business development that can be used for policy making considering the present situation of the country.

Authors: Bhandari S. S. , Badadal S. B. , Kinagi V. G. , Tuljapurkar H. S. , Bansode Prof.S. H.
Published: September 2018

The main aim was, to design Pit Furnace from the setup of black smithy. As the Smithy setup was not in use so it is converted into Pit Furnace setup. The purpose of using Pit Furnace is to melt nonferrous material. The Nonferrous materials such as Aluminum, Aluminum alloy, Copper, Brass, etc. The Aluminum has less melting point (680ᵒ C, 1218ᵒF) and cheaper than other. The thermal efficiency of furnace is 13.72% which is obtained by melting 2 kg of Aluminum for 75 minutes. Normally thermal of pit furnace is between 4-19%. The blower is used to supply the air into the furnace chamber to burn the coal. For melting the Aluminum, Crucible should sustain higher temperature so Graphite Crucible is used. This Crucible has thinner wall and have more refractory properties.
Implementation of Steganographic Model using Inverted LSB Insertion
Authors: Kamat Shubhangi D. , Patil Prof. S.S. , Mali Prof. A.S.
Published: September 2018

The most important thing in this insecure world is the secrecy of everything. In today’s world, any important data costs more than money. Steganography is the technique in which one can hide data as a secrete in selected image. In case of spatial domain, LSB approach is most popular in
steganography, where all the LSBs of pixels of image are replaced by the bits of secret data. But the problem is that the secrete can be easily guessed by the hacker and the data is obtained by extracting it from direct LSBs. To make the system more robust and to improve the signal to noise ratio, the conventional LSB insertion method is replaced by inverted LSB technic. The decision to invert or not the LSB depends on combination of the 2nd and 3rd LSB. As not each and every LSB is inverted, it makes the steganalysis very difficult.
Benchmarking flexible meshes and regular grids for large-scale fluvial inundation modelling
Authors: Hoch Jannis , van Beek Rens , Winsemius Hessel , Bierkens Marc
Published: September 2018

Damage resulting from flood events is increasing world-wide, requiring the implementation of mitigation and adaption measures. To facilitate their implementation, it is essential to correctly model flood hazard at the large scale, yet fine spatial resolution. To reduce the computational load of models, flexible meshes are an efficient means compared to uniform regular grids. Yet, thus far they have been applied only for bespoke small-scale studies requiring a high level of a priori grid preparation. To better understand possible advantages as well as shortcomings of their application for large-scale riverine inundation simulations, three different flexible meshes were derived from Height Above Nearest Drainage (HAND) data and compared with regular grids under identical spatially explicit hydrologic forcing by using GLOFRIM, a framework for integrated hydrologic-hydrodynamic inundation modelling. By means of GLOFRIM, output from the global hydrologic model PCR-GLOBWB was passed to the hydrodynamic model Delft3D Flexible Mesh. Results show that applying flexible meshes can be beneficial depending on the envisaged purpose. For discharge simulations, similar model accuracy was obtained between flexible and regular grids, with the former generally having shorter run times. For inundation extent simulations, however, the coarser gridding of flexible meshes in upstream areas results in a poorer performance if assessed by contingency maps. Moreover, while the ratio between minimum and maximum spatial resolution of flexible meshes has limited impact on discharge simulations, water level estimates may be stronger influenced by the application of larger grid cells. . As this study presents only a small set of possible realizations, additional research needs to unravel how the data and methods used as well as the choices for discretizations influence model performance. Generally, the application and particularly discretization process of flexible meshes involves more options, bringing more responsibilities for the user. Once an a priori decision is made on the model purpose, flexible meshes can be a valuable addition to modelling approaches where short run times are essential, facilitating large-scale flood simulations, ensemble modelling or operational flood forecasting.
Fonctionnements et dysfonctionnements des psychothérapies : synthèse de la littérature et présentation de deux méthodologies associées aux meilleurs résultats.
Authors: Cazauvieilh Christophe
Published: September 2018

Les psychothérapies représentent une réponse pertinente aux enjeux de santé publique. En effet, la synthèse de la littérature disponible révèle que les psychothérapies sont généralement efficaces, aussi bien dans les essais contrôlés qu’en pratique de terrain, pour traiter des troubles psychologiques variés et développer de nouvelles capacités de coping face aux difficultés de la vie ; et au-delà, en participant notamment à la réduction globale des coûts de santé.Pourtant, tous les patients ne retirent pas de bénéfices réels des soins, certains patients se détériorent ou abandonnent le traitement sans gains attitrés ou sans avoir expérimenté tout le potentiel de changement ; les cliniciens présentent des difficultés notables à identifier ces patients, à anticiper les échecs au traitement, et à répondre de manière fonctionnelle à ces situations. En outre, en dépit de la sophistication croissante des programmes de formation et de supervision, et de la disponibilité d’un corpus de recherche important, l’efficacité des cliniciens semble stagner au cours de leur carrière ou se détériorer avec le temps.Partant de ces résultats, nous abordons dans cette étude plusieurs éléments de réponses possibles à ces enjeux issues de notre revue de la littérature : Le Suivi en Continu des Résultats (SCR ou Routine Outcome Monitoring - ROM) de deux prédicteurs associés aux psychothérapies efficaces (une bonne alliance thérapeutique, et une réponse positive au traitement durant les toutes premières séances) pour ajuster et améliorer l’efficacité des soins ; et une nouvelle forme prometteuse d’entrainement spécifique des psychothérapeutes visant à développer leur expertise, nommé pratique délibérée (Deliberate Practice).
On the Statistical and Practical Limitations of Thurstonian IRT Models
Authors: Bürkner Paul - Christian , Schulte Niklas , Holling Heinz
Published: September 2018

Forced-choice questionnaires have been proposed to avoid common response biases typically associated with rating scale questionnaires. To overcome ipsativity issues of trait scores obtained from classical scoring approaches of forced-choice items, advanced methods from item response theory (IRT) such as the Thurstonian IRT model have been proposed. For convenient model specification, we introduce the thurstonianIRT R package, which uses Mplus, lavaan, and Stan for model estimation. Based on practical considerations, we establish that items within one block need to be equally keyed to achieve similar social desirability, which is essential for creating force-choice questionnaires that have the potential to resist faking intentions. According to extensive simulations, measuring up to 5 traits using blocks of only equally keyed items does not yield sufficiently accurate trait scores and inter-trait correlation estimates, neither for frequentist nor Bayesian estimation methods. As a result, persons' trait scores remain partially ipsative and, thus, do not allow for valid comparisons between persons. However, we demonstrate that trait scores based on only equally keyed blocks can be improved substantially by measuring a sizeable number of traits. More specifically, in our simulations of 30 traits, scores based on only equally keyed blocks were non-ipsative and highly accurate. We conclude that in high-stakes situations where persons are motivated to give fake answers, Thurstonian IRT models should only be applied to tests measuring a sizeable number of traits.

The scientific study of consciousness became an organized field of research less than thirty years ago. Since then, a large number of empirical findings increased our understanding of consciousness. Scientific progress, however, does not only consist on the advancement of knowledge. Increased funding for consciousness research and the rising status of scientists engaging in the field are also fundamental indicators of scientific progress as well as sine qua non conditions for such progress, and should not be overlooked. Here, we present the results of a survey designed to investigate the current state of the neuroscience of consciousness in regards to these latter aspects.
Why too many political science findings cannot be trusted and what we can do about it: A review of meta-scientific research and a call for institutional reform
Authors: Wuttke Alexander
Published: September 2018

While other scientific disciplines are currently undergoing “credibility revolutions”, also political science should also face the uncomfortable question of how much we can trust the findings that are published in the discipline’s journals and presses. Employing the concept of social dilemmas, this commentary describes analytically why scientists ¬in academia’s current incentive system work against their self-interest if they prioritize research credibility. Empirically, this article conducts a comprehensive review of meta-scientific research with a focus on quantitative political science, demonstrating that threats to the credibility of political science findings are systematic and real. Building on a framework to assess the credibility of scientific literatures, the review shows that a large fraction of the published literature makes itself inaccessible to intersubjective credibility assessments, fails tests of analytical robustness, or shows patterns of systematic deviation from true population estimates. Yet, the review also highlights the notable progress the discipline has made in recent years to secure research credibility. This commentary urges further steps toward the direction of research openness credibility. Specifically, it proposes specific institutional measures to better align individual researcher rationality with the collective good of verifiable, robust, and valid scientific results, such as dedicated verification procedures and the implementation of pre-registration and result-blind peer reviewing.
An Intimate Insight on Psychopathy and a Novel Hermeneutic Psychological Science
Authors: Taku Emmanuel
Published: September 2018

This paper is rather a profound hermeneutic enunciation putting into question our present understanding of psychopathy. It further articulates, in complement, a novel theoretical and methodological conceptualisation for a hermeneutic psychological science. Methodology-wise, it puts into question a traditional more or less categorical and mechanical approach to the social and behavioural sciences as it strives to introduce a creative and insightful approach for the articulation of ideas. It rather seeks to construe the scientific method as being more about falsifiability and validation but driven by a sense of creative understanding and insight of notions laid out as open-ended conceptualisations. Theory-wise, it sees continuity between anthropology and psychology as anthropopsychology behind an entropic construct of human psychology based on a recurrent re-institutionalisation mechanism for intemporal-preservation-entropy-or-contiguity–or–ontological-preservation.
Injured female Veterans’ experiences with community reintegration: a qualitative study
Authors: Hawkins Brent L. , Crowe Brandi M.
Published: September 2018

Introduction: Reintegration back into civilian life post-deployment can be difficult for military Veterans, particularly those who have physical and psychological injuries. Research indicates that male and female Veterans may experience reintegration differently as a result of their deployment experiences and gender-specific social role expectations. Limited research specific to female Veterans’ reintegration experiences exists in the empirical literature. Therefore, the purpose of this qualitative study was to better understand community reintegration experiences among injured female Veterans. Methods: Phenomenology guided the data collection and analysis. NVivo was used to aid in organization and analysis of the data. An iterative clustering process was used to identify meaning units, resulting in categories and themes that best represented the participants’ experiences. Bracketing procedures were used to account for researcher bias. Results: Three categories and multiple themes emerged from the qualitative analysis: category 1, community reintegration meaning; category 2, perception of community reintegration, which had three themes – (1) reintegration is harder than expected, (2) reintegration is a process, and (3) reintegration involves finding a new normal – and category 3, women’s experience post-deployment, which had four themes – (1) society’s misguided perceptions of women in the military, (2) readjusted or redefined roles and responsibilities as a woman, (3) lingering effects of military sexual trauma, and (4) lack of female-specific services. Discussion: This study suggests a need for female-specific programs within US Department of Veterans Affairs and civilian-based organizations providing services to Veterans. In addition, allied health professionals are encouraged to assess community reintegration to allow for more individualized, long-term transition plans for female Veterans reintegrating into civilian life.

Kliniku za dječje bolesti Zagreb čini sklop zgrada u zapadnom dijelu bloka Klaićeva, Kačićeva, Deželićeva i Medulićeva ulica. Još od 1951. godine, kada je zgrada Fischerova Sanatorija (1909.) prenamijenjena u Dječju bolnicu, kontinuirano se traži način da se izvorni sadržaji prilagode novim namjenama i novim tehnologijama. Dogradnjama 1956. (V. Turina), 1964. (S. Jovičić) i 1987. (M. Vodička) te nizom sporadičnih adaptacija i rekonstrukcija prostor se pokušava objediniti u tehnološku cjelinu. Formalno je zadržana prepoznatljivost sklopa, ali parcijalne dogradnje i realizirani programi nisu osigurali potpunu funkcionalnost bolnice kao cjeline.

Authors: Carić Hrvoje , Jakelić Marko
Published: September 2018

Rad se bavi ključnim pitanjem upravljanja zaštićenim područjima: kako informirano upravljati posjećivanjem, bez ugrožavanja konzervatorskih ciljeva i zdravlja ekosustava, odnosno na kakvim podatcima i postupcima temeljiti upravljačke procjene i odluke. Na osnovi prikazanih interdisciplinarnih iskustava u istraživanju nosivoga kapaciteta zaštićenog područja, rad nudi smjernice za izradu studija upravljanja posjećivanjem.
Pregovaranje dinamičkih varijabli u procesu urbane regeneracije
Authors: Ažman Momirski Lucija
Published: September 2018

Pregovori između javnog i privatnog sektora u procesu urbane regeneracije mogu pomoći u postizanju ciljeva od javnog interesa. Dva konvencionalna urbana indikatora - koeficijent iskorištenosti [Kis] i koeficijent izgrađenosti [Kig] koriste se kao instrumenti za ispitivanje uspjeha u dinamičnim pregovorima grada s privatnim vlasnicima. Usporedba početne vizije razvoja i konačnog rezultata pri kraju pregovora pokazuje da je pregovarački proces polučio značajne koristi za sve uključene sudionike.

Published: September 2018

Ovaj rad daje pregled brojnih pristupa i alata koji mogu dovesti do značajne prostorne i funkcionalne transformacije gradskih ulica s ciljem poboljšanja kvalitete života u urbanim sredinama. Pristupi variraju od onih tradicionalnih tzv. top-down pristupa do recentnih, suvremenih, neformalnih, kreativnih i adaptabilnih bottom-up pristupa koji podrazumijevaju izravnu fizičku intervenciju i participaciju građana.

Devirlerin ortaya çıkardığı imkânlar (teknoloji, iletişim vb.)
doğrultusunda, insanlar veya toplumlar arasında etkileşim fırsatını ortaya
çıkaran küreselleşme olgusunun, tarih birikimi oldukça fazla olan güreş
üzerinde olumsuz etkisi vardır. Dolayısıyla çalışmanın amacı; güreşte
küreselleşme sürecinin farklı boyutlarda (medyatik, sosyal ağ vb.) incelenerek
söz konusu değer kaybının gözler önüne çıkarılmasıdır. Youtube sitesi üzerinden
Amerikan güreşinin, Dünya güreş şampiyonasına göre yadsınamaz derecede fazla
izlendiği görülmektedir. Ayrıca Uluslararası Olimpiyat Komitesinin güreşin,
2020 Olimpiyatlarından kaldırılması için çalışmalar başlattığını duyurması ve
de söz konusu duruma spor gazete manşetlerinin sürmanşet ve 10\1’lik alanı
kapsayacak şekilde yer ayırması ya da Dünya Güreş Birliğinin güreşin
hareketlendirilmesi adına pasifite kuralını getirdiği görülmektedir. U-23
Gençler adında yeni yarışma kategorisinin oluşturulması plaj güreşi adında yeni
stilin organize edilmesi güreşin yok olma sürecine doğru ilerlediğini ve bu
durumu önlemek için uygulama değişikliklerine mecbur kalındığını niteleyebilir.
Sonuç olarak; çoğu kültür ve medeniyetlerin yaşamlarında yer almış güreşin 21.
Yüzyılın başlarında medya, sosyal ağ ya da spor yönetimindeki platformlarında
değer kaybına uğradığı ve söz konusu durumun önüne geçilmesi adına pek çok
kural ya da uygulama değişikliklerinin gerçekleştirildiği görülmektedir.
Güreşin gerek tarih gerek kültür gerekse sporun ahlaki değerlerini yansıtan bir
olgu olduğu söylenebilirken, ilgi kaybının sonucunda güreşin söz konusu
değerlerinden de mahrum kalınacağı unutulmamalıdır.
Aile Gelir Düzeyinin 8-14 Yaş Arası Bireylerin Vücut Kompozisyonuna Etkisi
Authors: ÖZTÜTÜNCÜ Saadet , ÖZDAL Mustafa , VURAL Mehmet
Published: September 2018

Giriş ve
amaç: Çalışmamızın
amacı, Gaziantep ilinde 8-14 yaş arasındaki bireylerde aile gelir durumunun
vücut kompozisyonunu etkisini incelemektir.

Yöntem: Çalışmamıza Gaziantep
ilinde 8-14 yaş arasında 2463 erkek (n=1320) ve bayan (n=1143) birey gönüllü
olarak katıldı. Denekler 3 ayrı gelir düzeyi kategorisine (Düşük=1500TL ve
altı, n=1029; Orta=1501-3000TL, n=807; Yüksek=3001TL ve üzeri, n=627) ayrılarak
boy ve kiloları ölçüldü. Elde edilen verilerin analizi için bağımsız gruplarda
T, tek yönlü varyans analizi ve LSD testleri kullanıldı.

Bulgular: Bayan bireylerin erkek
bireylere göre boy uzunluklarının daha yüksek olduğu tespit edildi (p<0.05).
Gelir düzeyi yüksek olan grubun gelir düzeyi orta ve düşük olan gruplara göre
boy uzunluğu, vücut ağırlığı ve beden kitle indeksi özelliklerinde anlamlı
farklılık görüldü (p<0.05). Erkek ve bayan bireyler gelir düzeylerine göre
gruplandığında vücut kompozisyonu özelliklerinde anlamlı farklılık görülmedi
(p>0.05). Gelir düzeyine göre erkek ve bayan bireyler ayrı ayrı incelendiğinde
ise erkek bireylerde de bayan bireylerde de boy uzunluğunda ve vücut
ağırlığında gelir düzeyi yüksek olan grup ile orta ve düşük olan grup ile
farklılık; beden kitle indeksinde ise gelir düzeyi yüksek olan grup ile orta ve
düşük olan grup ile anlamlı farklılık ve gelir düzeyi orta olan grup ile düşük
olan grup arasında anlamlı farklılık saptandı (p<0.05).

Tartışma-Sonuç: Sonuç olarak, aile gelir
düzeyinin 8-14 yaş arasındaki bireylerin boy uzunluğunu, vücut ağırlığını ve
beden kitle indeksini arttırdığı söylenebilir.
Ontologies of Property: Land Titling after the Indian Ocean Tsunami Disaster
Authors: Fitzpatrick Daniel
Published: September 2018

The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami killed over 150,000 people and displaced over 500,000 in Indonesia alone. In the worst hit province of Aceh, the disaster damaged or destroyed almost all land-related records. The response included a World Bank-designed systematic land titling project. The Aceh case highlights a number of ontological assumptions of titling projects in natural disaster contexts, including that states are able to replace heterodox local processes with law; and that titling is a depoliticised technical process for the evidencing of existing legal rights to land. The article highlights the way in which the ontological framing of land titling is misplaced in dynamic circumstances of disaster involving urgent needs for shelter, and associated reconfigurations of property and human settlements.
Environmental History and the Concept of Agency: Improving Understanding of Local Conditions and Adaptations to Climate Change in Seven Coastal Communities

Published: September 2018

This article provides a synthesis of the results from seven global research sites working together to study adaptation to climate change in coastal communities under the moniker ARTISTICC (www.artisticc.net). It first aims to share these research results in order to demonstrate two general themes that emerge from our analysis and can help improve our understanding of community responses to environmental change broadly speaking. These themes are the continuity of environmental change and the legacy of colonialism. The goal is to demonstrate that comparisons across research sites are possible if an appropriate transdisciplinary framework is in place and also that environmental history is required to understand the past if we are to effectively tackle present conditions. Secondly, this paper offers reflections on the concepts of agency and adaptation and how the methodological divide between historians and social scientists can be further bridged to great benefit for all concerned. By being more reflective on our own disciplinary cultures, we can co-construct knowledge about how community cultures operate. The agency of local actors is central to understanding past choices and present obstacles to successful adaptation. Indeed, we must better appreciate the goals of local actors if we are to know what success looks like to them. Adaptation, whether adjustment or transformation, is often a long-term, complex process.
