Authors: Kimani James
Published: August 2021

Purpose: no one technology can support all types of teaching and learning at a distance – the most effective approach is to combine a range of technologies. Using multiple technologies ensure that all learning styles are catered for and that significant opportunities for interaction between the learner and the tutor are provided. The general objective of the study was to institutional related on choice of technology for the development of instructional materials for distance education.

Methodology: The paper used a desk study review methodology where relevant empirical literature was reviewed to identify main themes and to extract knowledge gaps.

Findings: From the study findings, it is concluded that most of learner support services offered to distant learners were not good enough to support the learners effectively. Secondly, the students and the administrators were of the view that there were learner support services that were very vital to distant learners. Thirdly, the students and the administrators were of the general view and in agreement that the learner support services offered were necessary. However, since the students indicated that majority of the services on offer were poor across the institutions under the study, there is need to improve and make them better. Learning through experience influences the creation of new values which become attitudes that have a strong impact on teacher's behavior towards e-learning technology.

Recommendations: The study recommends that is a need availability of ICT infrastructure, the absence of inadequacy of which will totally hamper the idea of e-learning adoption in universities. There should be provision of computers and high bandwidth to enable the easy flow of classes online. If the high ICT infrastructure for e-learning is unavailable, the sequential use of predecessor distance learning technologies from correspondence courses to radio, TV, CD-ROM, Internet and World Wide Web is recommended. Such a sequential use of predecessor distance learning technologies is poised to leverage the experience into a significant use of learning

Authors: Oymak İskender
Published: August 2021

Hıristiyanlıkta önemli bir yer tutan ve inanç esaslarının temelini oluşturan teslis doktrini, tarihsel süreçte kiliseler tarafından farklı şekillerde yorumlanmıştır. Bu konuda kiliseler arasında miladi. II. yüzyılda başlayan tartışmalar, IV. yüzyılda 325 İznik Konsili’nde Baba ile Oğul’un inançtaki yeri ve misyonu; 381’de İstanbul’da yapılan genel Konsilde ise Kutsal Ruh’un teslisteki yeri karara bağlanmıştır. Müslümanlar da tarihsel süreçte hemen hemen her dönemde Hıristiyanların teslis ile ilgi yorumlarına reddiyeler yazmışlar. Müslüman alimler, teslise yönelik eleştirilerinde akli delillerden daha çok teslisteki unsurların ve İsa’ya atfedilen ilahi (lahutî) ve insani (nasuti) tabiatların kadim ve hadis olma bakımından birbiriyle ilişkisi üzerinde durmuştur. Aynı şekilde Kutsal Ruh’un Baba ve Oğul ile ilişkisi ve bu ilişki ile ilgili yorumların mantığı üzerinde durmuşlardır. Bu noktada Miladi X. yüzyılda yaşayan bir Müslüman âlim olan Kadı Abdulcabbar, teslis konusunda ciddi eleştiriler yapmıştır. Kadı Abdulcabbar’dan sonraki dönemlerde de teslis konusunda Hıristiyanların görüşlerine Cahız, Taberi, Kindi ve Şehriştani gibi âlimler de çeşitli eleştiriler yöneltmişlerdir. Bu makalede Teslis ve Hıristiyanların teslis algısı; Kadı Abdulcabbar döneminde mevcut Hıristiyan mezheplerinin teslis konusundaki görüşleri ve Kadı Abdulcabbar’ın onlara yönelttiği eleştiriler değerlendirilmiştir.
Erzurum’da Yeni Yıla Giriş Ritüeli: 1001 Hatim
Authors: Ceylan Muhammet Nuri
Published: August 2021

Dini ve toplumsal hayat içinde kutsalla kurulan ilişki sonucunda ortaya çıkan en önemli uygulamaların başında ritüeller gelmektedir. Bereket ayinleri, felaketlerden korunma, hastalık, kuraklık ve kıtlıktan kurtulma pratikleri, yağmur yağdırma ritüelleri bu türden uygulamalara en güzel örneklerdir. Türkler, benimsemiş olduğu dinler ve kabul ettiği inançlar doğrultusunda bu yönde sayısız mistik işleme başvurmuşlardır. İslami terminolojide bu türden pratikler “rukye” ifadesiyle karşılanmıştır. “Rukye” olarak adlandırılan ve çeşitli işlemlerle iyi etme, olumsuz şey veya durumdan kurtulma yahut muhafaza altına alma uygulamaları asırlardır başvurulan yöntemlerin başında gelmektedir. Bu uygulamalar içinde yeni yıla giriş törenleri ve bu törenlerde icra edilen ritüeller önemli bir yer işgal etmektedir. Erzurum’da yaklaşık beş asırdır devam eden ve birçok dini inanış şekillerinin yanı sıra farklı gelenek, görenek ve pratiği içinde barındıran, kültürel bir miras olarak nesilden nesile aktarılan 1001 Hatim hakkında toplumsal hafızada yer alan tüm bilgi birikiminin kayıt altına alınması, bu ritüelin tanımlanması, ortaya çıkan folklor öğelerinin bilimsel düzlemde değerlendirilmesi; uygulanan pratiklerin altında yatan dini, kültürel, tarihsel ve toplumsal nedenlerin belirlenmesi çalışmanın temel gayesini oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmada, Erzurum’da her yeni yıla girişte icra edilen bu ritüelin, kimler tarafından ortaya çıkarıldığı, ritüelin hangi amaçlar doğrultusunda ve ne şekillerde tatbik edildiği, geleneğin bugünkü durumunun ve ritüele verilen ismin altında yatan sebeplerin ne olduğu, bu ritüele toplumsal yaklaşımın nasıl olduğu, dini ve toplumsal açıdan bu ritüele atfedilen önemin ne şekilde olduğu gibi sorulara cevap aranmıştır. Bu bağlamda çalışmada kullanılan temel yöntemler hem tarihi belgeler ışığında konu ile ilgili bilgileri ortaya koyma; hem de geleneğin icrasını gerçekleştirenler yahut bizzat bu geleneğe katılanlarla sahada görüşme yöntemi kullanılarak derleme yapılması ile bilgi birikiminin kayıt altına alınması üzerine kuruludur. Araştırma, asırlardır devam eden ve kültürel bir hazine olarak addedilen bu geleneğin tüm yönleriyle akademik ve bilimsel bir platformda ele alınması, tanıtılması ve bu sayede Türk kültür mirası envanterine dahlinin sağlanması açısından önem arz etmektedir.

Post-Truth Dönem ve Twıtter Kullanıcılarının Hakikate Bakışı Üzerine Bir Araştırma
Authors: Yıldırım Esra , Tanyeri Mazıcı Emel
Published: August 2021

Türkçe’ye “gerçek sonrası” veya “hakikat sonrası” olarak çevrilen post-truth kavramı kamuoyu oluşturmada nesnel verilerin kişisel duygu ve kanaatlerden daha az etkili olmasına karşılık gelmektedir. Bu dönemde duyguların harekete geçirilmesiyle hakikatleri değil algıları temel alan sahte bir evren üretilmektedir. Oluşturulan bu zeminde belirli boyutlarda algılanan gerçeklik asıl önemini yitirmekte ve bireylerin hakikate verdikleri önemin derecesi azalarak yalan söylemek sıradanlaşabilmektedir. Bu araştırmada sosyal medya kullanıcılarının hakikate verdikleri önemin ve bu bireylerin hakikat algılarının bir sosyal paylaşım sitesi olan Twitter kullanıcıları üzerinden araştırılması amaçlanmaktadır. Bu kapsamda nitel araştırma veri toplama yöntemlerinden derinlemesine mülakat metodu kullanılarak Twitter kullanıcısı 48 kişi ile yarı yapılandırılmış soru formuna bağlı kalınarak bir araştırma gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma post-truth dönemin ortaya çıkışında etkili olan medya aracılığıyla sunulan genelde yalan ya da yanlış bilgi ve içeriklerin insanlar tarafından sadece verilen şekilde alınması ve gösterilen şekilde görülmesi durumunu irdelemiştir. Araştırma sonucuna göre katılımcıların Twitter’da yer alan gerçekliğe şüphe ile yaklaştıkları ve bu ortamda yer alan bilgiye ve kullanıcılara karşı bir güvensizliğin hâkim olduğu görülmüştür. İlaveten katılımcıların bilgilerin doğrulanmasıyla ilgilenmedikleri ve bu konuda hassasiyet duymadıkları sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Ayrıca toplumsal düzlemde yalanın yaygın olduğu düşüncesinin kullanıcılarda hâkim olduğu görülmüş, bu durumun kurumların hedef kitleleriyle karşılıklı ilişki ve iletişim yönetiminde güven sağlama noktasında dikkate alınmasının önem taşıdığı sonucuna varılmıştır.

This research letter presents our study, which sought to evaluate the differences in the prevalence of self-reported symptoms of depression, anxiety, and loneliness between younger and older generations at the time of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the younger generation is generally less accustomed to facing and dealing with adversity and illness, we hypothesized that adolescents and younger adults would have a higher prevalence of depression, anxiety, and loneliness as compared to the older generation. It must be emphasized that this survey was conducted during the first COVID-19 lockdown that occurred in Israel from mid-March 2020 to early May 2020. This was a time when businesses were closed, individuals and families were isolated at home with very limited social contact, and feelings of fear and panic were fueled by the electronic media.
INFLUÊNCIA DAS DIMENSÕES DA ORGANIZAÇÃO INOVADORA NA GESTÃO DE CUSTOS MEDIADA PELA PASSAGEM EM INCUBADORAS DE EMPRESAS
Authors: Frigo Souza Fabiana , Gasparetto Valdirene , Bernardes Voese Simone
Published: August 2021

Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar a influência das dimensões da organização inovadora na adoção de práticas de gestão de custos mediada pelo processo de incubação de empresas. Para isso, foram coletados dados a partir de questionário direcionado a uma população de 787 empresas que receberam auxílio financeiro para o desenvolvimento de inovações por meio programas e institutos de apoio ao desenvolvimento de inovações, entre os anos 2009 e 2016. O instrumento englobava as dimensões da organização inovadora (compromisso com a inovação, comunicação, ambiente físico, inovação e tecnologia, pessoas, aprendizagem organizacional, meio ambiente, atuação em equipe e estrutura organizacional), bem como as práticas de gestão de custos (margem de contribuição, custeio variável, custeio por absorção, custo padrão, custos da qualidade, gestão baseada em atividades, kaizen, custeio meta e custeio baseado em atividades), além de outros aspectos, como os relacionados ao processo de incubação. A partir de uma amostra de 97 empresas e do uso de análise descritiva e Modelagem de Equações Estruturais, identificou-se a utilização com maior intensidade de práticas de gestão de custos tradicionais, em detrimento das modernas, com destaque para margem de contribuição. Além disso, não se pode aceitar a hipótese de que a passagem das empresas por incubadoras de empresas poderia mediar a adoção de práticas de gestão de custos em organizações inovadoras, em função da baixa significância do processo de incubação na adoção dessas práticas, do baixo poder explicativo, ou até inverso, que este processo exerce sobre a adoção de tais práticas. Estes resultados podem indicar um gap no suporte,capacitação e consultoria ofertados pelas incubadoras quanto à gestão de custos e suas práticas.
Afinal, o que se busca é comparabilidade ou uniformidade?

Published: August 2021

A Estrutura Conceitual define que para as informações contábeis serem úteis, elas precisam ser relevantes e representar fidedignamente aquilo que pretendem representar. A comparabilidade, por sua vez, é uma característica qualitativa que aumenta a utilidade da informação contábil, ao permitir que os usuários identifiquem e compreendam as similaridades e diferenças entre os itens. Tarca (2020) argumenta que as informações de uma empresa serão mais úteis se puderem ser comparadas com as informações de outra empresa ou com informações da mesma empresa em outro período.

Somos seres consumistas, isso é um fato. A compreensão dessa afirmação não está atada apenas ao ato de consumir produtos que nos são necessários e ir em lojas desfrutarmos do que não é.Tudo ao nosso redor é consumo, desde um filme ou série até uma conduta de vida. Com a sofisticação das tecnologias na sociedade moderna, nos acostumamos cada vez mais com o consumo. Hoje, o consumo se tornou algo imprescindível na vida de todos.Tudo na sociedade é movido pelo "consumir". Por meio da mídia visual e se utilizando de dois grupos sociais e identitários (Geek e Evangélico), este ensaio propõe-se a discutir até onde nosso consumo nos reflete? Até que ponto o consumo que constrói quem somos começa a se tornar algo fanático e acumulativo? Existe um limite para esse consumo identitário?

Dois Hamlets Russos: a influência shakespeariana na construção dos arquétipos do “homem supérfluo” e do “homem do subsolo”
Authors: Amorim Thâmara
Published: August 2021

A obra de Shakespeare (1564-1616), desde a era elisabetana até a contemporaneidade, é responsável por influenciar diversos textos em todo Ocidente e Oriente. Hamlet (1609), em particular, é um de seus trabalhos mais adaptados e, na literatura russa oitocentista, teve importância fundamental para a criação de dois arquétipos da tradição literária nacional: o “homem supérfluo” e o “homem do subsolo”. Este ensaio tenciona mapear as origens do “Hamletismo Russo”, bem como observar seu reflexo nos livros Diário de um homem supérfluo (1850), de Ivan Turguêniev (1818-1883), e Diário do subsolo (1864), de Fiódor Dostoiévski (1821-1881), além de delinear a relação estilística e conteudista entre ambos os livros.

Four generic profenfos formulations under trade name Camkron and Tiliton 72% EC (customs, workout) for each of those, which currently applied in Egypt from different companies were studied for the effects of sunlight exposure, UV-light, PH and storage on the stability of profenofos, its respective impurity 4-bromo-2-chlorophenol content and water as a relevant impurity. Exposure to sunlight, UV-light at 16 hours and storage for 14 days at 54±2o C indicated various degradation effects on profenofos content and increase the formation of its impurity 4-bromo-2-chlorophenol and the change in PH in long period cause breakdown of the active substance instability of some component. The storage of profenofos at intervals of 3, 7 and 14 days at 54 ± 2o C from the results obtained showed serious effects on the rate of degradation of profenofos and the increase in the rate of formation of 4-bromo-2-chlorophenol, as well as on sunlight, UV-light exposure, for all of the profenofos formulations under study. It found that the Camkron (workout) is invalid for use it may be due to several factors affecting the consistency of the formulation of profenofos in the manufacturing process, the origins of technical materials, the use of various forms of adjuvants and the long storage time in poor conditions. Analysis before and after storage, sunlight exposure, UV-light using GC-MS identified four degradation products: 4-bromo-2-chlorophenol, O-(4-bromophenyl) O-ethyl S-propyl phosphorothioate, O-(2-chlorophenyl) O-ethyl S-propyl phosphorothioate and O-(4-bromo-2-chlorophenyl) S-propyl hydrogen phosphorothioate and also used IR spectra.

Authors: Gakhar Ashima
Published: August 2021

Herbal medication has grown exponentially in popularity in recent years, gaining popularity in both emerging and industrialized countries due to its natural origins and lack of side effects. To compile knowledge regarding medicinal plants used to cure diabetes mellitus, a systematic study was performed. It is a metabolic disease of the endocrine system that affects about 10% of the world’s population, with the number of people afflicted growing by the day. The profiles provide details on the scientific and family names of the plants, plant sections and research models used, hypoglycemic behavior, and active chemical agents. The vast number of plants mentioned in this analysis exemplified the role of herbal plants in diabetes care. These plants’ effects can help to delay the onset of diabetic complications and correct metabolic imbalances. This study encourages researchers to do further studies into the possible usage of medicinal plants with anti-diabetic properties.

Importance of fruits as valuable food resources, attention has been paid in recent years to study their physicochemical properties. Therefore, this investigation was undertaken to measure the physicochemical properties of the sweet orange genotype available in Bangladesh. A total of 8 genotypes including 3 released varieties (BAU Malta-1, BAU Malta-3, and BARI Malta-1) and 5 lines (CS Jain-001, CS Jain-002, CS Jain-003, CS Ram-001, and Variegated Malta) were included in this trial. Maximum average fruit weight (286.00 g), fruit size in terms of length (92.00 mm), and diameter (82.00 mm), mesocarp thickness (10.00 mm), and width of epicarp equatorial area (76.00 mm) was recorded from CS Jain-001 while the maximum number of segment (28.00), the diameter of fruit axis (23.66 mm), juice content (41.44%), titratable acidity (0.99%) and TSS: TA (33.73) was recorded from BAU Malta-3. TSS and juice pH was recorded maximum of 10.21% and 4.48, respectively in BAU Malta-1. Sugar content was found to be as follows, reducing sugar was the maximum in CS Jain-001 (3.50 %) while the highest total sugar (4.68%) was recorded in BAU Malta-1. Variegated Malta produced the maximum (48.45 mg/100 ml juice) ascorbic acid while CS Jain-001 contained maximum (8.35 mg/100 ml juice) ß-carotene. Therefore, considering fruit quality, BAU Malta-3, BARI Malta-1 can be used as fresh fruit. However, considering the fruit size, CS Jain-001 and CS Jain-002 could be used as breeding material to develop a new sweet orange variety with higher yield potential.

India is known as the “Land of spices” from time immemorial and emerged as a leading country in respect of area, production and export of spices in the world. Black pepper (Piper nigrum), known as “king of spices”, is a perennial export cash crop in India. An experiment was conducted at Horticultural Research Station, Yercaud, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore with an objective to study the effect of organic and biofertilizers on growth parameters in Black Pepper. Experiment was laid out with six treatments replicated four times in a randomized block design. Among the treatments of organic manures and biofertilizers viz., vine lengths were recorded at initial stage (before the commencement of trial), flowering stage and harvesting stage. Internodal length and leaf area were recorded at flowering stage and harvesting stage, the vine length (8.91,9.01 & 9.12 m), internodal length (5.11 & 5.20 cm) and leaf area (88.17 & 89.35 cm2 ) was higher in the combined application (T3 ) of FYM, Neem Cake, Azospirillum and Phosphobacteria compare to over control.
Comparing representational geometries using whitened unbiased-distance-matrix similarity

Representational similarity analysis (RSA) tests models of brain computation by investigating how neural activity patterns reflect experimental conditions. Instead of predicting activity patterns directly, the models predict the geometry of the representation, as defined by the representational dissimilarity matrix (RDM), which captures how similar or dissimilar different activity patterns associated by different experimental conditions are. RSA therefore first quantifies the representational geometry by calculating a dissimilarity measure for each pair of conditions, and then compares the estimated representational dissimilarities to those predicted by each model. Here we address two central challenges of RSA: First, dissimilarity measures such as the Euclidean, Mahalanobis, and correlation distance, are biased by measurement noise, which can lead to incorrect inferences. Unbiased dissimilarity estimates can be obtained by crossvalidation, at the price of increased variance. Second, the pairwise dissimilarity estimates are not statistically independent, and ignoring this dependency makes model comparison statistically suboptimal. We present an analytical expression for the mean and (co)variance of both biased and unbiased estimators of the squared Euclidean and Mahalanobis distance, allowing us to quantify the bias-variance trade-off. We also use the analytical expression of the covariance of the dissimilarity estimates to whiten the RDM estimation errors. This results in a new criterion for RDM similarity, the whitened unbiased RDM cosine similarity (WUC), which allows for near-optimal model selection combined with robustness to correlated measurement noise.
The problem of perfect predictors in statistical spike train models
Authors: Farhoodi Sahand , Eden Uri T.
Published: August 2021

Generalized Linear Models (GLMs) have been used extensively in statistical models of spike train data. However, the maximum likelihood estimates of the model parameters and their uncertainty, can be challenging to compute in situations where response and non-response can be separated by a single predictor or a linear combination of multiple predictors. Such situations are likely to arise in many neural systems due to properties such as refractoriness and incomplete sampling of the signals that influence spiking. In this paper, we describe multiple classes of approaches to address this problem: using an optimization algorithm with a fixed iteration limit, computing the maximum likelihood solution in the limit, Bayesian estimation, regularization, change of basis, and modifying the search parameters. We demonstrate a specific application of each of these methods to spiking data from rat somatosensory cortex and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each. We also provide an example of a roadmap for selecting a method based on the problem’s particular analysis issues and scientific goals.

Abstract. A scientific total ozone column product from Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite Nadir Mapper (OMPS-NM) observations and the retrieval algorithm are presented. The retrieval employs the weighting function fitting approach (WFFA), a modification of the weighting function differential optical absorption spectroscopy (WFDOAS) technique. The total ozone columns retrieved with WFFA are in very good agreement with other datasets. A mean difference of 0.3 % with respect to ground-based Brewer and Dobson measurements is observed. Seasonal and latitudinal variations are well represented and in agreement with other satellite datasets. The comparison of our product with the operational product of OMPS-NM indicates a mean bias of around zero. The comparison with the Tropospheric Monitoring Instrument products (S5P/TROPOMI) OFFL and WFDOAS shows a persistent negative bias of about −0.6 % for OFFL and −2.5 % for WFDOAS. Larger differences are only observed in the polar regions. This data product is intended to be used for trend analysis and the retrieval of tropospheric ozone combined with the OMPS limb profiler data.
Characteristics of the Derived Energy Dissipation Rate using the 1-Hz Commercial Aircraft Quick Access Recorder (QAR) Data

Abstract. The cube root of the energy dissipation rate (EDR), as a standard reporting metric of atmospheric turbulence, is estimated using 1-Hz quick access recorder data from Korean-based national air carriers with two different types of aircraft [Boeing 737 (B737) and B777], archived for 12 months from January to December 2012. Various EDRs are estimated using zonal, meridional, and derived vertical wind components, and the derived equivalent vertical gust (DEVG). Wind-based EDRs are estimated by (i) second-order structure function (EDR1), (ii) power spectral density (PSD), considering the Kolmogorov’s -5/3 dependence (EDR2), and (iii) maximum-likelihood estimation using the von Kármán spectral model (EDR3). DEVG-based EDRs are obtained mainly by vertical acceleration with different conversions to EDR using (iv) the lognormal mapping technique (EDR4) and (v) the predefined parabolic relationship between the observed EDR and DEVG (EDR5). For the EDR1, second-order structure functions are computed for zonal, meridional, and vertical wind within the defined inertial subrange. For the EDR2 and EDR3, individual PSDs for each wind component are computed using the Fast Fourier Transform over every 2-minute time window. Then, two EDR estimates are computed separately by employing the Kolmogorov-scale slope (EDR2) or prescribed von Kármán wind model (EDR3) within the inertial subrange. The resultant EDR estimates from five different methods follow a lognormal distribution reasonably well, which satisfies the fundamental characteristics of atmospheric turbulence. Statistics (mean and standard deviation) of log-scale EDRs are somewhat different from those found in a previous study using a higher frequency (10 Hz) of in situ aircraft data in the United States, likely due to different sampling rates, aircraft types, and locations. Finally, five EDR estimates capture well the intensity and location of three strong turbulence cases that are relevant to clear-air turbulence (CAT), mountain wave turbulence (MWT), and convectively induced turbulence (CIT), with different characteristics of the observed EDRs: 1) zonal (vertical) wind-based EDRs are stronger in the CAT (CIT) case, while MWT has a peak of EDRs in both zonal and vertical wind-based EDRs, and 2) the CAT and MWT cases occurred by large-scale (synoptic-scale) forcing have more variations in EDRs before and after the incident, while the CIT case triggered by smaller mesoscale convective cell has an isolated peak of EDR.
GC Insights: Scientists as Marketers

Abstract. Motivated by pressing planetary concerns, scientists are  increasingly taking their work into the public arena, but it  remains uncertain whether current science communication  practices are appropriate for tackling complex and contested  societal issues. A fresh perspective emerges from the  business sector, and from the contrasting marketing  paradigms of ‘make and sell’, ‘sense and respond’, and  ‘guide and co‐create’. The newly emergent guide‐and‐co‐ create paradigm – purpose‐driven, interdisciplinary,  participatory, and reflexive – would seem to offer the best  template for science communicators addressing long‐term  geo‐environmental concerns.
Identification of Rip Current Hazards Using Fluorescent Dye And Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (A Case Study Of Drini Beach, Gunungkidul, Indonesia)

Abstract. Coastal tourism is a leading sector substantially contributing to the regional income of Gunungkidul Regency, Indonesia. However, with more tourists visiting the beach, more lives are threatened by coastal hazards. Rip currents are a channel of powerful, narrow, fast-moving water that can carry floating objects away from the shore, presenting one of the most common coastal hazards to swimmers. Unfortunately, most tourists are unaware of rip currents and their threats and how to avoid them. This study was designed to identify the types and dimensions of rip current in one of the regency’s tourist attractions, Drini Beach. For this purpose, an environmentally friendly fluorescent dye, Uranine, was injected from the shoreline, then the velocity and direction of its movements were observed from aerial video footage captured with a drone. Results showed stationary rip currents with a narrow channel, called a channel rip, with the mean dimensions: 250 m from the shoreline to the head and 10.25 m in width. A break in the reef flat can mostly generate rip currents at Drini Beach. It creates an area that is deeper than the surrounding reef flats through which water and the transported coastal sediments can flow easily offshore. Rip currents identified in this research provide the basis for disaster mitigation measures to reduce fatality.
