Published: January 2022

Abstract: Irony can happen anywhere, especially when it comes to love. Love can be seen as a human perception in looking at life and the world. Love has many forms. The ideal form of partner love is Companionate Love. Based on the opinion of Sternberg (1998), to determine the form of love required three components, namely, intimacy, passion, and commitment. After the three components are properly fulfilled, Companionate Love as an ideal love can be formed. This article uses a descriptive-qualitative method. The purpose of this study is to explore more about the irony of love in the poems Tanya Sinta, 3 and Sinta Gugat, 2 with a focus on the character of Sinta. Review of analysis and interpretation of this study using components of intimacy, arousal components, and components of commitment according to Sternberg's psychological theory of love in Triangular Theory of Love (1998). The results showed that the love that Sinta had for Rama was not an ideal love. Sinta shows love in the form of Infatuated Love, which then turns into Fatuous Love so that it fails to form Companionate Love or ideal love. This is because the relationship between Sita and Rama does not fulfill the three components of love.
Keywords: irony, love, Sinta, Ramayana.
Abstrak: Ironi dapat terjadi dimanapun, terutama dalam hal cinta. Cinta dapat dipandang sebagai persepsi manusia dalam memandang kehidupan dan dunia. Cinta memiliki banyak bentuk.

Setelah tiga komponen terpenuhi dengan baik, Companionate Love sebagai cinta yang ideal dapat terbentuk. Artikel ini menggunakan metode deskriptif-kualitatif. Adapun tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengupas lebih lanjut mengenai ironi cinta dalam puisi Tanya Sinta, 3 dan Sinta Gugat, 2 dengan fokus tokoh Sinta. Tinjauan analisis dan interpretasi penelitian ini menggunakan komponen keintiman, komponen gairah, dan komponen komitmen menurut teori psikologi cinta Sternberg dalam Triangular Theory of Love (1998).

Abstract: Indonesia is one of the countries that geographically has socio-cultural conditions that are so complex, diverse, and broad. Indonesia is also the most diverse country in the world, apart from India and the United States. Indonesia's pluralism can be seen by the presence of a group of individuals who have different backgrounds, religions, genders, ethnicities, languages, interests, hobbies, and so on. SARA nuanced conflicts nowadays often occur in Indonesia. Most cases are triggered by intolerance. The consequences that will occur if people prioritize social ego, ethnic ego, religious ego and others is the disappearance of the awareness to live in peace together according to the meaning of Bhinneka Tunggal Ika. The design of Marta's Adventure animation was carried out of maintaining the meaning of Bhinneka Tunggal Ika through an approach to love for the diversity of ethnic groups and Indonesian culture.

Abstrak: Indonesia merupakan salah satu negara yang secara geografis mempunyai kondisi sosio kultural yang begitu kompleks, beragam, dan luas. Indonesia juga merupakan negara yang paling majemuk di dunia, selain India dan Amerika Serikat. Kemajemukan Indonesia dapat dilihat dengan terdapatnya sekumpulan individu yang mempunyai latar belakang, agama, jenis kelamin, suku bahasa, minat, hobi, dan sebagainya yang berbeda-beda. Konflik bernuansakan SARA dewasa ini sering terjadi di Indonesia. Kebanyakan kasus dipicu oleh seorang atau sekelompok masyarakat tertentu yang mengatasnamakan ras, suku, agama, dan budaya yang tentunya bersikap intoleran. Akibat yang akan terjadi jika masyarakat lebih mengedepankan ego sosial, ego suku, ego agama dan lainnya akan menyebabkan kesadaran untuk hidup damai bersama sesuai makna Bhinneka Tunggal Ika akan mulai menghilang. Perancangan Animasi Petualangan Marta ini dilakukan bertujuan untuk mempertahankan makna Bhinneka Tunggal Ika melalui pendekatan cinta keberagaman suku bangsa dan budaya Indonesia. Perancangan animasi Petualangan Marta ini dibuat dalam beberapa tahapan yakni pra produksi, produksi, dan pasca produksi. Hasil dari perancangan animasi Petualangan Marta ini diharapkan mampu untuk menjadi suatu media pembelajaran bagi siswa sekolah dasar dalam menghargai satu sama lain ditengah keberagaman suku dan ras di Indonesia.

Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan metode wawancara mendalam, studi deskriptif, observasi, dokumentasi, dan menggunakan observasi tes tulis dengan pengisian lewat google form. Dari wawancara dan kuisioner dari tiga guru dan sembilan siswa di tiga sekolah berbeda, didapatkan hasil bahwa layanan bimbingan dan konseling tetap dilakukan di masa pandemi dengan memanfaatkan media digital seperti WhatsApp dan Google Classroom. Namun, jika dirasa kurang memuaskan, maka akan dilanjutkan dengan melakukan kunjungan ke rumah siswa yang berkaitan.

Bu çalışmada, 1995-2018 döneminde N-11 ülkeleri için doğrudan yabancı sermaye yatırımlarının CO2 sera gazı emisyonu üzerindeki etkisi panel eş-bütünleşme DOLSMG yöntemi kullanılarak araştırılmıştır. Gelecekte nüfus büyüklükleri ve yatırımcıların cazibesi nedeniyle N-11’in, G-7 ve BRICS ülkelerini geçme potansiyeli yüksek olduğu için, doğrudan yabancı sermaye yatırımları ve çevresel kirlilik konusunun incelenmesi önem arz etmektedir. Genellikle çevresel kirliliğin ekonomik büyüme üzerindeki etkisini inceleyen çalışmalar çoğunluktadır. Ancak N-11 ülkeleri için doğrudan yabancı sermaye yatırımları ve CO2 sera gazı emisyonu arasındaki ilişkiyi araştıran çalışmaların sınırlı sayıda olduğu belirlendiğinden, bu çalışmanın literatürdeki boşluğa katkı yapması hedeflenmiştir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda sonuçlar, CO2 sera gazı emisyonu ve doğrudan yabancı sermaye yatırımları arasında bir eş-bütünleşme ilişkisinin varlığını ortaya koymuştur. Ayrıca CO2 sera gazı emisyonundan doğrudan yabancı sermaye yatırımlarına doğru tek yönlü nedensellik tespit edilmiştir.

Published: January 2022

Bu çalışmanın amacı, seçilmiş 18 OECD üyesi ülkenin 2000-2019 dönemine ait yıllık verileriyle savunma harcamalarını etkileyen etmenlerin panel veri analiz yöntemi kullanılarak incelenmesidir. Çalışma, savunma harcamalarının ekonomik ve sosyal etkilerin yanı sıra teknolojik değişimlerden hangi düzeyde etkileneceğini belirlemek açısından önem arz etmektedir. Analizde; sabit etkiler-tesadüfi (rassal) etkiler modeli, genelleştirilmiş momentler yöntemi (GMM), sistem GMM ile robust (dirençli hata) tahmincileri modelleri kullanılmıştır. Analiz sonuçlarına göre bağımlı değişken olan savunma harcamaları ile bağımsız değişkenlerden; gayri safi yurt içi hasıla (GSYH), nüfus, istihdam, doğrudan yabancı sermaye yatırımları arasındaki ilişkinin anlamlı ve pozitif yönlü olduğu saptanmıştır. Öte yandan, savunma harcamaları ile bağımsız değişkenlerden; bilgi ve iletişim teknolojisi ihracatı (%toplam mal ihracatı) ve ticaret (%GSYH) arasında negatif ancak anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu belirlenmiştir. Elde edilen bulgulara dayanarak şunu belirtmek gerekir ki; ülkeler genel olarak tehdit altında olduklarında savunma harcamalarına daha yüksek bir pay ayırmaktadır. Ülkeler arasında ticaretin gelişmesiyle tehdit algısı bir nebze de olsa azalabilmektedir. Ayrıca teknolojik açıdan gelişmiş ülkeler, ürettikleri malları (ki bu mallara silah üretimi de dâhil) ihtiyacı olan ülkelere temin etmekte ve bunun karşılığında gelirini yükseltmektedir. Bu bakımdan özellikle gelişmekte olan ülkeler, savunma harcamalarındaki artışa bağlı olarak nitelikli işgücünün elde edilmesi, yeni istihdam alanlarının oluşması, teknolojik gelişmelere uyum sağlanması, savunma harcamalarına yönelik olarak yatırımların ve araştırma-geliştirme faaliyetlerinin arttırılması yoluyla gerek ekonomik gerekse siyasi açıdan gücünü arttırabilecektir.

Bu çalışma, işgörenlerin algıladıkları iş güvencesizliğinin psikolojik iyi oluş düzeylerine ve performanslarına etkisinde meslekî bağlılığın aracı bir rol oynayıp oynamadığını tespit etmek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışma Ankara, İstanbul, İzmir, Bursa, Samsun ve Tokat’ta görev yapan 623 postacı üzerinde yürütülmüştür. Postacılar İdari Hizmet Sözleşmeli (İHS’li), 399 sayılı KHK ile istihdam edilenler (399’lu) ve Alt İşveren (Taşeron) olmak üzere 3 ayrı istihdam şekli ile görev yapmaktadırlar. Bu farklı istihdam şekillerinde çalışan postacıların algıladıkları iş güvencesizliği de farklılık göstermektedir. Postacıların farklı istihdam şekilleri ile istihdam ediliyor olmaları örneklem olarak postacıların seçilmesindeki en önemli etkendir. Çalışmanın sonucunda bağımsız değişken algılanan iş güvencesizliğinin bağımlı değişkenler olan psikolojik iyi oluşu ve performansı etkilemediği tespit edilmiştir. Algılanan iş güvencesizliğinin aracı değişken meslekî bağlılığı etkilediği, ayrıca meslekî bağlılığın da hem psikolojik iyi oluşu hem de performansı etkilediği tespit edilmiştir. Ancak bağımsız değişken ile bağımlı değişkenler arasında bir etkileşim olmadığından Baron ve Kenny aracılık modeline göre meslekî bağlılığın aracılık rolü tespit edilememiştir.

Background: Increased exposure from background radiations and the attendant health effects have in recent times drawn the attention of researchers. This study aimed to assess the indoor and outdoor background radiation levels in selected offices/industrial buildings in Nnewi, Anambra State, Nigeria. Methods: Forty buildings in the four villages of Nnewi were surveyed using a calibrated international medicom CRM 100 radiation monitor. Radiation readings were obtained in counts per minute and converted to micro-sieverts per hour (µSv h-1). The indoor annual effective dose rate (IAEDR), outdoor annual effective dose rate, excess lifetime cancer risk, and organ doses were calculated using recommended occupancy and conversion factors.Results: The mean IAEDR and OAEDR were respectively 0.8060±0.056 mSv y-1 and 0.2281±0.020 mSv y-1 with estimated ELCR of 2.822x10-3 and 0. 799x10-3 respectively. The testes received the highest dose (0.843 mSv y-1) followed by bone marrow (0.710 mSv y-1).Conclusions: The study revealed that the mean background radiation exposures in and outside offices in Nnewi, Anambra State were below the UNSCEAR and ICRP recommended doses for the general public.
