Optimizing the usage of fly ash in concrete mixes
Authors:   , Zulu Sabelo N. F.
Published: September 2021

Improving on our construction practices to promote sustainable development in engineering and to promote eco-friendly living is vital in the fight against global warming and associated problems. This study looked at one of the ways in which engineering can contribute to this fight through promoting the recycling of waste by-products such as fly ash (FA), on a larger scale in the cement and concrete industry, by utilizing the FA to the optimum. In this study concrete mixes of 25 MPa, 35 MPa and 50 MPa with FA partially substituting the cement at 30%, 40%, 50% and 60% were produced and numerous tests were performed to determine the optimum amount of FA that can be used and still obtain better or comparable concrete to ordinary concrete. Testing for concrete properties was conducted under laboratory conditions over a period of one year. In addition, a cost comparison between ordinary concrete and FA concrete was undertaken. The results obtained show that the increase in FA content influenced the rheological properties of fresh concrete favorable. The recorded slump increased with the increase of FA content. Increasing the FA content prolonged the setting of concrete, with the ordinary concrete taking 1 hour 45 min to set, compared to more than 2 hours for FA mixes. The FA increase had negligible effects on the air content of the concrete mixes. The drying shrinkage of concrete increased with the increase of FA content, with the strain ranging from 0,045% to 0,56%. The compressive strength results show that the control mixes with 30% FA content attained the highest compressive strength over a year. In some cases, the 40% FA strength was compatible to the 30% FA strength. The durability index results showed the control mix of 30% FA attaining better results for Oxygen Permeability Index and Sorptivity Index, with the 40% FA mix following closely. The higher FA content mixes (50% and 60%) attained better Chloride Conductivity results than the lower FA content mixes. Increasing the FA content does affect the performance of the concrete at early stages, however concrete with acceptable strength and good durability qualities can be produced even with 50% FA volume. Increasing the FA content can also significantly reduce the cost of producing and working with concrete. The practice of utilizing higher FA content in concrete can be beneficial for the South African cement and concrete industry without compromising the quality of the cement products concrete structures.
A model review and proposed mechanistic tiller model for the canegro sugarcane crop model
Authors:   , Bezuidenhout Carel Nicolaas
Published: September 2021

The CANEGRO model is a mechanistic model that describes environmental, physiological and managerial features of the agricultural sugarcane production system. The model originated from many sources of crop, climatic and soil research work. This caused a fragmentation in the model's components. The objectives of this study was to give a detailed model overview after an investigation into the model's code, published and unpublished documentation and to propose a mechanistic approach in the modelling of tiller populations.
Hierarchical identification of large-scale system models
Authors:   , Jankovic Boris R.
Published: September 2021

In this study we propose a new concept and methodology of hierarchical identification. The need for such a methodology comes from the fact that identification of large-scale systems (LSSs) by one-shot approach may be numerically very complex. The analysis of LSSs is, in general, not approached by the one-shot methodologies normally associated with non-LSSs. The proposed method of hierarchical identification can be therefore viewed as an extension of LSS methodologies to system identification. LSS methodology aims at breaking up the initial, complex problem into a set of smaller size subproblems.
Development of a mathematical model for treatment of metal finishing wastewater
Authors:   , Mbongwa Nkosinathi Wiseman
Published: September 2021

The waste generated by metal finishers is rated as the most toxic and harmful to the environment. Metal finishing wastewater consists of heavy metals, cyanides, acids and alkalis. Formal treatment of waste generated has not been of primary importance to metal finishers. It would be ideal to develop a generic model to assist finishers to predict the effectiveness of wastewater treatment. The model must be able to predict effectiveness of treatment based on a variety of equipment, chemicals and concentrations.
Tunceli İli Paleolitik Çağ Araştırmaları

Published: September 2021

Tunceli, arkeolojik kalıntılara sahip olduğu bilinmekle birlikte Keban projesinden bu yana sistematik araştırma yapılmamış bir bölgedir. 2015 yılında Dr. Yasemin YILMAZ başkanlığındaki bir ekip tarafından Tunceli’de başlatılan yüzey araştırmasıyla; arkeolojik kalıntıların Prehistorik Çağlardan Orta Çağ’a kadar uzanan zengin bir çeşitliliği barındırdığı belirlenmiştir. Özellikle Paleolitik Çağla ilgili yeni keşifler dikkat çekicidir. 2020 yılı sezonuyla beş yılı tamamlanan çalışmalarda; Pertek, Mazgirt, Çemişgezek ve Ovacık ilçelerinde bulunan yontmataşların 1167’si ayrıntılı olarak incelenmiş ve bunların 922 adedi Paleolitik Çağ’a tarihlenmiştir. Paleolitik buluntu alanları, İ. K. Kökten’in de dikkat çektiği gibi, tarih öncesi höyüklere yakındır. Yüzey araştırmasında bulunan en eski aletler Oldowan yontuk çakıllarıdır. Ayrıca, belgelenen birçok Acheulean alan; az sayıda iki yüzeyli el baltası, Levallois tekniğinin kullanımı ve birincil çakmaktaşı kaynaklarına yakınlığıyla dikkat çekmektedir. Tunceli’deki Acheulean endüstrileri bu özellikleriyle, Güneydoğu Anadolu Alt Paleolitik buluntu topluluklarıyla benzerdir ve söz konusu endüstrinin 600-200 bin yıl öncesine ait olabileceği söylenebilir. Tunceli, Orta Paleolitik’i Levallois tekniğinin düşük oranda kullanımı ve yonga üretimiyle karakterize bir teknolojik yapıyla temsil edilir. Yontmataş endüstrisinde özellikle dilgisel taşımalıkların varlığı, Üst Paleolitik veya Orta Paleolitik sonlarıyla ilişkili olabileceğine işaret etmektedir. Afrika’dan Kafkasya’ya uzanan doğal kara yolları üzerinde bulunan Tunceli’nin ilk araştırma sonuçları, Paleolitik boyunca erken insanların hareketliliklerini kanıtlayan önemli kültür kalıntılarına ulaşılmasını sağlamıştır.
The Finnish Way of Governance: Something New on the Horizon?
Authors: Nurmi Hannu
Published: September 2021

The Finnish political system is based on representative forms of governance. The electoral system is proportional within the constraints of areal representation secured by largely independent districts. Partly in response to declining turnout in elections, occasional initiatives have been presented to increase the proportionality of the system, thus far to no avail. At the same time and presumably at least partly for similar reasons, calls to introduce electronic voting have been raised. Deliberative institutions have also been mentioned as ways of improving the quality of Finnish democracy. In this brief note, we shall deal with these initiatives, their motivations and problems related to them.
Intergenerational scars? The long-term effects of parental unemployment during a depression
Authors: Karhula Aleksi , Lehti Hannu , Erola Jani
Published: September 2021

We studied the intergenerational impact of parental unemployment on the socioeconomic status of children. We used data from the Finnish depression of the 1990s, one of the deepest depressions in the history of OECD countries. We compared the impact of parental unemployment of children aged 12-18 during both a period of economic growth and a period of depression. We used ISEI status to measure social status when the children reached the age of 30. We used propensity score matching to analyse the high-quality Finnish register data, comprising 15991 children. Our results show a negative association between parental unemployment and children’s later socioeconomic status that is not significantly lower when parental unemployment occurs during a depression. The association is partially driven by the duration of unemployment during the depression. Our results underline the importance of providing support to families that experience parental unemployment during eras of both depression and growth.
Cultural minorities in Finnish educational opportunity structures
Authors: Zacheus Tuomas , Kalalahti Mira , Varjo Janne
Published: September 2021

In many countries, there are differences in school performance between and within cultural minorities and the majority. For, instance, differences between the learning outcomes of immigrant-origin and Finnish-origin students are considerable, and the risk among young people of immigrant origin of becoming positioned outside education and work life is higher than that among young people of Finnish origin. The aim of this paper is to develop a holistic approach to educational inequalities by offering two theoretical viewpoints concerning cultural minorities in particular. First, we introduce the idea of the opportunity structure, which clarifies why the education system does not offer the same opportunities to all minority groups. Second, we highlight the need to understand the cultural variety of minorities when explaining differences in educational attainment. Here we make the distinctions of cultural differences (primary and secondary) and minority status (autonomous, voluntary and involuntary minorities). Finally, we discuss the question of equal educational opportunities by reflecting on these two theoretical viewpoints.
Teaching and Practice of Community Organization and Development in South Asia: Evidence from Pakistan and Nepal
Authors: Jamshed Baloch  , Bala Raju Nikku  , Syed Fasiha Shah
Published: September 2021

Community Organization and Development (COD) is one of the core methods of social work and is taught in schools of social work across South Asia. This study is based on the semi structured interviews with social work educators in Nepal and Pakistan, and the personnel narratives of the authors. It provides a background of teaching Community Organization and Development, with its practices and methods in South Asian region (particularly in Pakistan and Nepal). The study discusses the nature and challenges for community work and its relationship to social work teaching and practice. Its main theme is to find out the answer that, how to teach and nurture students of social work to gain perspectives and skills of community organizing? The study concludes that social work educators specializing in teaching and practice will have to (un)learn and refocus. The teaching strategies to engage students need to be revised and re-interpret with the new social work curriculum teaching methodologies.

‘Sharing is Caring’: Copyright Metaphors and Online Sharing Norms
Authors: Chelberg Kristina
Published: September 2021

Copyright is under contest in Australia amid growing digital cultures of sharing. Using metaphor as a frame for analysis, this study applies internet search data (Google Trends) methods to visualise Australian online information-seeking patterns for metaphors related to copyright and sharing. An overview of legal metaphors of online copyright (‘piracy’, ‘war on copyright’) and metaphors of digital sharing (‘sharing is caring’, ‘sharing economy’) leads to a critical examination of the ‘metaphor struggles’ between the rhetoric of copyright infringement and sharing cultures promoted by social media. Key findings presented are of decreased information seeking for copyright metaphors and increased information seeking for sharing metaphors. Online information-seeking patterns, as visualised by internet search data, represent a form of public mobilisation. Visualisation of these patterns of public information seeking for metaphors of copyright and sharing demonstrates shifting conceptions of copyright in contemporary digital cultures. This article concludes by raising a potential relationship between rising ethics of online sharing norms and diminishing legitimacy of online copyright, as the legal metaphor of copyright appears to transition through the metaphor cycle.

Carotenoids are natural antioxidants, affecting apoptosis, absorbing active forms of oxygen, and improving visual performance through their blue light filtering capabilities. Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoids of the macular pigment that play a significant role in protecting against age-related macular degeneration (AMD), cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy. We analyzed the dietary sources of lycopene, lutein, and zeaxanthin of young adults living in a megapolis. We analyzed 431 food frequency questionnaires and used two different criteria for comparison: age (groups A1 and A2) and season (groups S1, spring, and S2, autumn). Raw red tomatoes and eggs are the main sources of carotenoids for the majority of respondents regardless of age and season. Significant differences between age groups were found for parsley, carrot, cheeseburger, and spring onion. Foods with high levels of carotenoids (tomato juice, pumpkin, spinach, and sprouts) were absent in the diets of most of the study participants. Watermelons and persimmons are seasonal sources of lycopene, lutein, and zeaxanthin. Dietary sources of carotenoids are present in insufficient quantities in the diets. Foods with high levels of lycopene, lutein, and zeaxanthin are absent or only occasionally included in the diet.

La rationalisation de l’exécutif dans le nouveau constitutionnalisme des États de l’Afrique noire francophone. Cas du Cameroun, Bénin, Tchad et Gabon
Authors: BIPELE KEMFOUEDIO Jacques
Published: September 2021

The new constitutionalism born in black Francophone Africa at the dawn of the new democracy brought hope to the rationalisation of an autocratic Executive. Unfortunately, this hope is undermined. In this part of the continent in general, and in Cameroon, Benin, Chad and Gabon in particular. This present study highlights on a one hand, a rationalisation of the Executive marked by a limitation of its powers in the first phase of the new constitutionalism which runs from 1990-2000. On the other hand, it is concerned with the issue of the rationalisation of the Executive since 2000 through the resurgence of the reinforcement of the said powers. This study presents measures to be taken in view of putting in place a constitutionalism adapted to the African realities and to ensure a real normalisation of the Executive, as well as strengthening the rule if law.

Aim of this study, to establish a measurement and evaluation laboratory of a nursing faculty and evaluate the quality of tests applied as part of the education curriculum as a Descriptive cross-sectional design. A total of 42 tests related to nursing vocational courses and 2,671 test items. The research was conducted in a state university nursing faculty between June 26, 2014 and June 28, 2018. In the first stage, a measurement and evaluation laboratory was established. In the second stage, trainers were trained. In the third stage, the item difficulty and item discrimination indexes of nursing professional tests were determined. Number and percentage distributions and averages were obtained in the analysis of the data. Of all the test items of vocational nursing courses, 40.49% in the 2015-2016 academic year and 38.90% in the 2016-2017 academic year were very easy according to the item difficulty index (0.81-1.00), and 46.83% and 43.56%, respectively had very low item discrimination indexes (0.19 and below). Most of the tests applied in nursing courses were easy, and the discrimination of all tests was very low. Further studies are recommended to investigate the item analysis of multiple-choice questions that measure nursing professional knowledge and item spelling errors.
Sultan Abdülaziz Döneminde Mâbeyn-i Hümâyûn'da Mâbeyncilik (Kurenâlık) Görevi
Authors: GÖKÇE Evren
Published: September 2021

XIX. yüzyılın ikinci yarısında Osmanlı bürokratik kurumları arasına katılan Mâbeyn-i Hümâyûn’un temel vazifesi padişah ile saray dışındaki dünyanın bağlantısını sağlamaktı. II. Mahmud tarafından tesis edilmekle birlikte, önemini Tanzîmât sonrasındaki dönemde kazanan mâbeyn, zamanla devlet yönetiminin merkezinde yer alan kurumlardan birisi olmuş ve bu özelliğini imparatorluğun dağılışına kadar sürdürmüştür.

Mâbeyn-i Hümâyûn bünyesinde görev yapan personel arasında aynı zamanda kurenâ sıfatıyla bilinen mâbeynciler bulunmaktaydı. Bu makalede, Sultan Abdülaziz döneminde Mâbeyn-i Hümâyûn’da icra edilen mâbeyncilik görevi mercek altına alınmıştır. Mabeyncilerin vazife, tayin, maaş ve terfi gibi durumlarıyla birlikte, dönem içinde yaşanan siyasi gelişmelerdeki rolleri incelenmiştir.
Cari Açık Sorununa KOBİ'lerin Dış Ticaretten Aldıkları Payı Artırma Stratejisi Etkin Bir Çözüm Olabilir mi?
Authors: YILMAZ Ebru Gül , DOĞAN Emrah , ÖZDEMİR Onur
Published: September 2021

Günümüzde kronikleşmiş cari açık, beraberinde getirdiği enflasyon, ekonominin daralması, işsizlik gibi pek çok sorun sebebiyle ülkeler için çözüm yaratma noktasında ciddi ve özellikle uzun vadeli stratejiler geliştirilmesini gerektiren önemli bir sorundur. Soruna çözüm geliştirmenin yolu ise açığın sürdürülebilir olup olmadığı ve ekonomik krize kadar varan sonuçlar doğurup doğurmayacağının analizi; bir başka ifade ile cari açığın yapısının ve nasıl finanse edildiğinin belirlenmesi ile mümkündür. Çalışmanın çıkış noktası ise Türkiye için özellikle ekonomik liberalleşme sonrası artan cari açık sorununa çözüm öneri sunma çabasıdır. Bu motivasyonla, cari açığın yapısı ve finansman yöntemleri incelenmiş ve KOBİ’lerin ihracattan aldıkları payın artırılması önerisi geliştirilmiştir. Ampirik kısımda ise bahsi geçen önerinin teorik alt yapısını oluşturmak üzere KOBİ’lerin ihracattan aldıkları pay artışının cari denge üzerinde ne derece olumlu bir etkisinin olduğu analiz edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu amaçla OECD ülkeleri verileri ele alınarak 2008-2018 dönemi için, KOBİ’lerin ihracat içerisinde aldıkları pay artışının, cari dengeyi istatistiki olarak anlamlı ve pozitif yönde etkileyeceği şeklindeki hipotez sabit etkili panel veri ve threshold regresyon modelleri kullanılarak test edilmektedir. Elde edilen tahmin sonuçlarına göre küçük ve orta ölçekli işletmelerin ihracatındaki artış ile cari denge arasında tüm modellerde pozitif ve istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir korelasyonun mevcut olduğu görülmektedir. Bu çıktıya ek olarak ülkelerin yüksek teknolojili ürünlere adaptasyonunun sağlandığı ve ihracatının yapıldığı erken dönemlerde cari işlemler hesabını yüksek teknoloji ihracatının negatif yönde etkilediği ancak ileri dönemlerde üretim sürecindeki artan entegrasyon ve üretkenlikteki artışa bağlı olarak mevcut ilişkinin pozitif bir yöne evrildiği görülmektedir.
Endodoncia y ortodoncia. Parte 2. Casos clínicos
Authors: Zmener Osvaldo , Della Porta Roberto
Published: September 2021

Objetivo: Describir el tratamiento endodóncico de cuatro casos clínicos de reabsorción radicular desarrollada durante o tras un tratamiento ortodóncico. Casos clínicos: Después de la preparación y la desinfección de los conductos radiculares, estos fueron obturados por un tiempo prudencial con una medicación intraconducto de hidróxido de calcio, que luego fue reemplazada por MTA. Luego de un período de entre uno y cuatro años, según el caso, los tratamientos fueron evaluados clínica y radiográficamente. Los dientes que debieron ser extraídos fueron analizados histológicamente. Según la evolución clínica y radiográfica de los casos presentados, el uso inicial de hidróxido de calcio y su posterior reemplazo por MTA parecería ser un protocolo adecuado para completar el proceso de reparación de los tejidos apicales y perirradiculares en casos de reabsorciones radiculares provocadas por fuerzas ortodóncicas excesivas. Las enfermedades sistémicas deben ser tenidas en cuenta en la elección de la terapéutica.

Syrian Conflict and The Economic Development: Did the Economic Indicators Predict the Conflict?
Authors: ATA Ahmet Yılmaz , ABDULKARİM Mohamed
Published: September 2021

This paper aims at exploring whether the economic development indicators could have predicted the conflict in Syria in 2011. To evaluate the role of economic development in stabilizing the society, this paper analyses the available historical economic development indicators for the Syrian economy before the conflict in 2011. Reviewing the available official statistics about aforementioned indicators and benchmarking them against middle-income countries reveal that the annual growth in gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, the government expenditure, inflation rate, unemployment rate, and human development index (HDI) were at alarming levels before 2011. This paves the way to the 2011 conflict in Syria.

Authors: TAŞ Seyhan , KENGER Burcu , ÖZBEK Sefa
Published: September 2021

Tarım her ülke için hayati öneme sahip temel iktisadi sektördür. Sadece gıda üretimi değil diğer sektörlere sermaye ve hammadde temin etmesi, geniş bir istihdam sağlaması ve dış ticarete doğrudan katkı sunması bu önemi teyid eder. Bu yüzden hemen her ülke sektörü koruma yönünde tercih gösterir. Birinci ve ikinci dünya savaşlarından sonra yaşanan ekonomik durgunluktan kurtulmak ve ekonomilerini canlandırmak için birçok kurum ortaya çıkmıştır. IMF, Dünya Bankası Grubu ve günümüzde Dünya Ticaret Örgütüne (DTÖ) dönüşmüş olan Gümrük Tarifeleri ve Ticaret Genel Anlaşması (GATT) bu kuruluşların önde gelenlerindendir. Sanayi, hizmet yanında GATT tarım sektörüne ilişkin olarak birçok karar almış ancak DTÖ'nün kuruluşuna kadar istenen sonuçlar elde edilememiştir. Dünya Ticaret Örgütü'nün de resmi olarak kurulduğu Uruguay Roundda Tarım Anlaşması ek anlaşma olarak kabul edildi. Bu anlaşmanın amacı tarım ticaretini adilleştirmek ve serbestleştirmektir. Amacını gerçekleştirmek için ise, pazara giriş, ihracat sübvansiyonları ve iç destekler konularında düzenlemelerde bulunmuştur. Diğer tüm ülkeler gibi Türkiye için de tarım sektörü ekonominin can damarıdır. Türkiye ekonomisinde tarım sektörüne dayalı sanayi oldukça önemli yer tutmakla birlikte dış ticaretin bileşiminde tarımsal hammadde ürün ihracatı ve ithalatı ciddi öneme sahipitr. Bu çalışmanın amacı GATT sürecinin tarım sektörü ve tarım ürünleri ticareti üzerindeki etkilerini tartışmaktır.

The subnational global hunger index (GHI-SN) is derived from the global hunger index as a simple indicator to compare hunger status at each subnational level and monitor health program achievement concerning the global target. The purpose of this objective study is to ensure the validity and reliability of the subnational global hunger index; to assess health inequality in children under the age of five in Indonesia. Method: We use secondary data analysis to determine malnutrition and child mortality prevalence using aggregate data from national basic health research survey reports (2007, 2010, 2013, 2018) and demographic survey reports from 2002, 2012, and 2017. The subnational hunger index was calculated using previously standardized undernutrition, stunting, wasting, and child mortality rates. Factor analysis and Pearson correlation with Alpha Cronbach coefficient were used to assess the validity and reliability. Further analysis using longitudinal panel data analysis with random effect models in STATA. Results: The total percentage of variance (56.32%) demonstrates indicator construct validity. Cronbach Alpha Coefisien > 0.90, according to reliability analysis. Pearson correlation between GHI-SN and Public Health Development Index (IPKM) for all and IPKM for children under five (IPKM) 2013 and 2018 and IKPS (Special Index Stunting Management) index is strong, with r: -0.8: -0.67, respectively. Conclusion: The study found the Subnational Global Hunger Index (GHI-SN) to be valid and reliable. It can be used as an alternative measurement tool in Indonesia to assess health inequality and hunger in children under five. Keyword: Children under five, GHI, Subnational hunger index

Published: September 2021

Background and Aim: The renal stones of any size could be effectively managed through an essential surgical technique known as Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL). The large size renal stones with abnormal kidneys imposed additional challenges for PNCL in anomalous kidneys. The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy in malrotated kidneys. Place and Duration: Conducted at Urology department of Mian Gul Abdulhaq Jehanzeb Kidney Hospital Manglawar, Swat for duration of two years (from May 2019 to April 2021). Materials and Methods. This single-centered retrospective study was conducted on 80 patients who underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy with malrotation kidneys. The individuals with anomalous kidneys and complex calculi were enrolled in this study. These patients had kidneys anomalies such as horseshoe kidneys, crossed fused ectopia, malrotation kidneys, pelvic and complete stone clearance. Posterior or anterior approaches were followed for the procedure after preoperative evaluation in kidney anomalies. Retrograde catheterization was carried out under spinal and general anesthesia with the patients. For all the patients, stone size and clearance were measured. Results: Of the total 80 kidneys anomalies patients, 55 (68.7%) were male and 25 (31.3%) were females. Overall mean age was 35.26 ± 13.51. The stone size varied from 1.3cm to 7 cm. Patients were categorized into two groups based on stone sizes such as group I (1.3-2.5 cm) had 42 (52.5%) and group II (25-7cm) 38 (47.5%) patients. The patients included renal pelvis 19 (23.6%), the pelvic ureteric junction (PUJ) 8 (10%), horseshoe kidneys 2 (2.5%), crossed fused ectopia 9 (11.3%), and malrotation kidneys 3 (3.8%).The stone clearance was completed in 77 (96.3%) patients. The statistically significant factor for complete clearance was the staghorn stone calculus. Conclusion: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy is a safe and effective procedure for large renal stones management in patients of anomalous kidneys. Higher renal stones clearance can be achieved with minimum morbidity by suitable preoperative evaluation and technical experts.

Authors: Gökkurt Kadir , Kıvrak Ali Osman
Published: September 2021

Aim: The aim in this study was to examine the impact of eight-week high-Intensity interval training on speed, agility, and acceleration under 19 (U19) soccer players. Materials and methods: Healthy 22 soccer players from Anadolu Selçukspor U19 football team, one of the 2nd League teams of Turkish Football Federation (TFF), participated voluntarily in this study. The soccer players taking part in the study were separated randomly into two as the experimental and control groups. It was determined that the age average of the players constituting the experimental group was 18.36±0.51 years, their height average was 1.77±0.06 m, and their body weight average was 71.76±6.52 kg while the control group’s age average was 17.55±0.69 years, height average was 1.76±0.04 m, and body weight average was 70.85±5.40 kg. In the study, the soccer players forming the experimental group attended a high-intensity interval training program three days a week for eight weeks, in addition to their regular training. The players of the control group continued their normal training schedule. The soccer players taking part in the study are the players who practice five days a week and play one official match. Results: In this study, through the comparison of the values of the pre-test and post-test regarding the speed and acceleration property of the soccer players of the experimental group, it was found that their post-test values were better (p<0.05). In terms of their agility property, an improvement of pro-rata 0.008 was seen in the experimental group, while the improvement of the control group took place at the proportion of 0.004 (p<0.05). Conclusion: It has been observed that 8-week high-intensity interval training is statistically significant in the speed and acceleration of soccer players. We contemplate that the inclusion of the high-intensity interval training within the annual training schedule in the field of soccer will affect the performance of the soccer players during the season more positively.

Az önkéntesség olyan aktivitás, amely mind az egyén, mind a közösségek életvilágát gazdagítja. Az inkluzív önkéntesség a fogyatékossággal élő személyek és környezetük számára teszi hozzáférhetővé ezt a jelentőségteljes tevékenységet. Mégis komoly eltérés mutatkozik a fogyatékossággal élő és nemfogyatékos személyek számára elérhető önkéntes lehetőségek közt világszerte és hazánkban is, s tényleges hazai aktivitásról nem található statisztikai adat. Ebben a tanulmányban éppen ezért azt térképezzük fel fogyatékosságtudományi aspektusból - kis számú kutatás alapján -, hogy az intellektuális fogyatékossággal élő személyek milyen önkéntes tevékenységet végeznek, valamint, hogy milyen aktivitásokat tartanak jelentőségteljesnek. Tanulmányunk kísérleti jellegű abból a szempontból is, hogy a fókuszcsoportos kutatás adekvát kutatásmódszertani eszköz-e ennél a csoportnál. Eredményeink szerint az önkéntes munka is, és a fókuszcsoportos beszélgetés dinamikája is, abban az esetben valósulhat meg, ha az érintettek egyénre szabottan megfelelő mennyiségű és minőségű támogatást kapnak.
