A Social Disorganizational Theory of Suicide
Authors: Abrutyn Seth
Published: January 2023

Over the last 20 years, suicide rates have grown across most demographic groups in U.S., making the sociological study of suicide as imperative now as it was in Durkheim’s day. For the most part, however, sociologists study suicide solely using Durkheim’s analytic strategy. The following paper recovers a text on suicide long since forgotten by sociology. Divided into three parts, the paper begins first by revisiting Ruth Cavan’s social disorganizational theory of suicide, eventually culminating in a formalization of her theory. Second, the paper brings contemporary social scientific ideas to bear on her theory in order to modify and extend its empirical utility. Third, the paper considers the implications this theoretical exercise has for an increasingly vibrant and creative sociology of suicide.
Political Influence and Dark Money
Authors: Schnakenberg Keith , Turner Ian R
Published: January 2023

We study the consequences of campaign finance disclosure laws in a model of informative campaign finance. Campaign spending can affect electoral outcomes and also signal policy information to politicians. Under mandatory disclosure donors may engage in spending that runs counter to their electoral interests in order to signal good news regarding their preferred policy. When donors can use dark money the electoral price to influence policy increases to account for the possibility that donors use public spending to signal, but secretly offset the electoral costs with dark money. Our results suggest that observable spending will tend to increase for moderate candidates and decrease for extreme candidates when dark money is allowed. We also illustrate how different social pressures affect patterns of campaign spending.

Authors: Mouaziz Abdelkrim , Byad Ismail El , Sraoui Souhayla , Biadi Maha El , Moumni Jaouad
Published: January 2023

With the spread of Covid-19, several countries, including Morocco, have declared the status of a health emergency. This caused schools to stop giving classes and block the Moroccan educational system. The Ministry of Education resorted to implementing distance education as an alternative to guarantee learning continuity. This includes applying some measures, such as broadcasting classes on TV and encouraging teachers to use online platforms like Microsoft Teams and Zoom. However, the online experience was not an easy task due to a lack of digital training and internet access. In this regard, the present paper aims to investigate the extent to which Moroccan university students are satisfied with the implementation of online learning. It also investigates the main challenges students encounter in their virtual experience. This study is significant as it provides us with a clear understanding of distance learning as a novel experience in Morocco and the challenges that hindered its success. It is also important because it would add to the accumulation of human knowledge. Both quantitative and qualitative approaches were employed through means of questionnaires and interviews, respectively. Questionnaires were administered to students from Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah University in Fes who belong to different departments. As for interviews, they were conducted with the same students to give them the chance to elaborate on their answers. The findings of the study revealed that the majority of Moroccan university students were not satisfied with their distance learning experience as it was hard for them to interact due to connection issues. The study also showed that most of the students were confused and unmotivated to learn.
Political polarization in the frequency British newspapers mention scientists with different views on COVID-19
Authors: Ghezzi Pietro , Giglietto Fabio , Martinisi Alessandro
Published: January 2023

Background. Measures against the COVID-19 pandemics have been subject of political polarization also in the United Kingdom. While this has been studied in the broader context of misinformation, the debate around non-pharmacological interventions (NPI) , the and the political implications of different views of their risks and benefits, has not been taken into account with sufficient depth Research question. Our research question was: Are politically-oriented UK newspapers more likely to promote a more, or less, precautionary views toward the use of NPIs?Methods. We used the Mediacloud database to search the names of scientists with different precautionary views (i.e.: signatories of the Great Barrington Declaration and of the John Snow Memorandum) and analyze the frequency with which they are mentioned in newspapers with different political orientation.Results. Scientists with more precautionary positions are more likely to be mentioned in left-leaning newspapers, whereas those with less precautionary views on right-leaning ones. The two groups segregated also in terms of co-authorship of academic papers.Conclusions. Scientists with different opinions in relation to NPIs are mentioned by UK newspapers in a way that is dependent on the political orientation of the newspaper.
L’archive à l’épreuve du réel : établir la vérité à travers l’archive
Authors: Thollet Maxence Aurélien Julien
Published: January 2023

L’archive est à l’épreuve du réel. L’acte de mise en archives soumet l’archive aux vices de l’acteur qui produit l’archive, mais aussi de ceux qui opèrent l’analyse véritative pour en déterminer sa fiabilité et reconstruire la vérité. En ce sens, l’archive travaille toujours à une relation asymétrique de pouvoir. L'article conclue que l’archive ne permet pas de capturer le réel, mais de tracer une réalité subjective soumise aux vices du producteur. Elle ne permet pas de construire une preuve par la volonté de son producteur, la preuve étant un construit a posteriori par les acteurs en faisant l’usage de manière décontextualisée. Les vices du langage, du mensonge, de l’oubli et enfin du secret sont abordés dans leur relation aux archives.
Evaluating the Cognitive Dimension of Translation in Light of the Six Phases Proposed by Wilss (1996) in the Decision-Making Process: A Case Study
Authors: Alwazna Rafat Y.
Published: January 2023

The present paper addresses the evaluation of the cognitive dimension of translation considering the six phases proposed by Wilss (1996) in the decision-making process. Its importance springs from the fact that it is pivotal to view translation as a cognitive activity rather than a mere linguistic process and evaluate it by carrying out cognitive analysis based on the six phases propounded by Wilss (1996) in the decision-making process. This is particularly useful in understanding the mental processes operating in the cognitive system of the translator through the pitfalls he/she has in his/her translation, which epitomize the translation problems that he/she has encountered during the translation process. The paper seeks to answer the following main research question: how can the cognitive dimension of translation in light of the six phases proposed by Wilss (1996) in the decision-making process be evaluated? The paper draws on Wilss’s model to provide a cognitive analysis of English-Arabic translation. The paper argues that any pitfall the translator has had in her translation typifies failure of identifying the translation problem cognitively, which is the first phase proposed by Wilss in the decision-making process. Hence failure of passing the first phase brings about failure of completing all the phases for cognitive analysis. The pitfalls that represent the translation problems can be categorized into five categories, namely: the use of inappropriate equivalence, culture-specific elements, translation by omission, translation by addition and the use of borrowing in a dialect of Arabic. Each category features the translation issue, the cognitive analysis conducted thereon and the recommended translation(s).
Digital learning: distraction or default for the future
Authors: Rivera-Vargas Pablo , Cobo Cristóbal
Published: January 2023

Today it is not easy to think in the society without the impact (and influence) of digital technologies. The relevance of digital devices and associated indicators are used as proxies to measure the development of societies today. In that context, both top-down and/or bottom-up technology in education initiatives seek to promote different forms of incorporating digital technologies in educational contexts. There are many successful experiences around the world to implement digital technologies in school contexts. However, it is critical to analyze the mismatch between the expectations and the reality but also to enquire how to provide better evidence and analysis to deepen and expand the knowledge in the field of education and technology from the Top-Down and Bottom-Up initiatives. Keeping that in mind, an international call for papers was launched that finally 14 contributions from 12 countries were included in this special issue. The articles shed light about two important aspects: (1) how good technical solutions cannot ignore the context in which these digital technologies are being used or adopted. (2) how the access to technologies can simply amplify the existing inequalities within a society (as well as between different societies) if additional (in most cases non-technical) components are not being carefully considered.
The Role of Homophilic Selection in Socioeconomic Homophily: Evidence from a Three-Week Summer Camp
Authors: Hoffman Marion , Chabot Timothée
Published: January 2023

Socioeconomic homophily in friendship networks is the result of several co-occuring processes, which are particularly challenging to disentangle. We propose to study the particular context of a three-week summer camp in France that gathered teenagers from varied socioeconomic backgrounds. We argue that this camp provides a unique opportunity to observe the sociability of adolescents in well-bounded settings with equalized meeting opportunities, thus helping us to narrow down the specific role of homophilic selection - the process by which individuals actively select similar friends. We use Stochastic Actor-Oriented Models to analyze the declared friendships of participants. Furthermore, we introduce a novel longitudinal extension of the Exponential Random Partition Model (ERPM), a class of model meant for relational data organized in discrete groups, which we apply to observed meal-sharing among adolescents. Results point to weak to non-existent homophilic selection during the stay. In turn, this suggests that structural opportunities and contextual moderators might be essential in explaining the amount of socioeconomic homophily found at school or in other contexts.
Identifying English Language Pragmatic Deficits among Children with Autism: Lessons from Fatima’s Home
Authors: Rahman Shireena Basree Abdul , Majid Faizah Abd
Published: January 2023

This article addresses a unique language-learning journey of a special child, ‘Fatima’ who is diagnosed with mild autism or Level One Autism Spectrum Disorder. Taking a qualitative perspective, research based on a series of observations and interviews was conducted on Fatima and her caregivers, namely her mother and her two elder siblings. Fatima was primarily diagnosed as having a learning delay, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and hyperactivity but not speech development. This study aims to look at the English language learning difficulties of a child with mild autism who has been diagnosed with no speech development issues. Findings revealed that communicative pragmatic deficits are an obvious limitation displayed by Fatima as she develops in age. Though Fatima exhibits quite proficient use of the English language, she shoulders pragmatic challenges in communication and still has a long way to be communicatively competent as other teenagers her age. In addition, the commitment and support shown by her family members are also key in aiding both her linguistic and social development. It is believed the findings could add to what is already known about second language learning among children with autism as perspectives from a ‘home’ as an informal learning institution were observed and analyzed. Family members could benefit the most, as the salient findings could be a source of reference in strategizing their roles in facilitating the language development of a child in the family diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) through an understanding of pragmatic deficits among children with ASD.
Empowerment of Saudi Women in Secondary School English Language Books: An Analytical Study
Authors: Dakhiel Maysoon A. , Ahmed Somaya A.
Published: January 2023

The current research aimed to investigate the degree to which women’s empowerment dimensions (social, economic, political, and women’s issues) are addressed through English language books in Saudi secondary education. It raised a question on the extent to which women’s empowerment dimensions are addressed in secondary English language books. The authors followed the descriptive analytical research design. The research utilized a checklist of (19) indicators describing women’s empowerment dimensions (social, economic, political, and women’s issues). The checklist was designed to measure women’s empowerment dimensions in the content and activities in English language books by inferring them from the units of analysis considered in the current research – paragraphs and pictures. Results showed that in the first year of secondary school, political empowerment was ranked first, whereas economic empowerment was ranked last. Additionally, in the second year, women’s issues were ranked first, followed by political empowerment, then economic empowerment was ranked last. In the third year, social empowerment came in the first rank meanwhile political empowerment came in the last rank. The study concluded a need to re-evaluate and update the curricula and textbooks regarding women in line with the national goals for women. It is a significant study because it addresses empowering Saudi women in EFL textbooks. It recommends including basic issues, especially woman-related ones, in EFL textbooks.
A Systematic Literature Review on the Integration of Internet Memes in EFL/ESL Classrooms
Authors: Altukruni Raja
Published: January 2023

As memes have become ubiquitous and embedded in the Internet and popular culture, a growing body of literature has investigated incorporating digital humor in the form of Internet memes as a new approach to increase learners’ motivation and engagement. This paper conducts a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to examine the impact of humor and meme-related pedagogical activities on language learning and to provide guidelines for incorporating meme-based learning in language classrooms. It seeks to address the following question: What is the effect of meme-related pedagogical activities in EFL/ESL classrooms? The revealed findings should encourage instructors to adopt this innovative approach to meet the needs and expectations of today’s language learners. The results show that using meme-based learning in language classrooms increases learners’ motivation and interest in the topic; creates a positive, fun, interesting, and engaging learning environment; enhances retention and understanding of new concepts; and simplifies complex concepts and ideas. In light of the review’s findings, the paper suggests practical and instructional implications for implementing memes appropriately and effectively.

Authors: Chaudhary Anjum
Published: January 2023

The present study aims to investigate the perceptions of EFL students on Corrective Feedback (C F) and to assess the efficacy of continuous explicit Corrective Feedback on the writings of the preparatory year female students of Umm Al Qura University in Saudi Arabia. The sample consisted of eleven students from an entire class who volunteered for the study. To reach the study’s objectives, an online survey was conducted to gain insight into how EFL students felt about receiving CF. Also, class observations and semi-structured interviews were exercised to get in-depth information on CF. Furthermore, to estimate the efficacy of continuous explicit Corrective Feedback, pre-Corrective Feedback, and post-Corrective Feedback performances in writing tasks were compared. In addition, the T-test value was also calculated using SSPS software. The findings demonstrated that students see CF favorably, and a comparison of their performances before and after receiving explicit CF demonstrated the feedback’s beneficial effects. The study seems significant to practicing teachers and learners as the study takes a practical and principled approach. Also, it brings up to date with current thinking and perception on error correction in language learning.
Perceived Motives of Public Diplomacy Influence Foreign Public Opinion
Authors: Rhee Kasey , Crabtree Charles , Horiuchi Yusaku
Published: January 2023

Although many countries engage in public diplomacy, we know relatively little about the conditions under which their efforts create foreign support for their desired policy outcomes. Drawing on the psychological theory of "insincerity aversion," we argue that the positive effects of public diplomacy on foreign public opinion are attenuated and potentially even eliminated when foreign citizens become suspicious about possible hidden motives. To test this theory, we fielded a survey experiment involving divergent media frames of a real Russian medical donation to the U.S. early in the COVID-19 pandemic. We find that an adapted news article excerpt describing Russia's donation as genuine can decrease American citizens' support for sanctions on Russia. However, exposing respondents to information suggesting that Russia had political motivations for their donation is enough to cancel out the positive effect. Our findings suggest theoretical implications for the literature on foreign public opinion in international relations, particularly about the circumstances under which countries can manipulate the attitudes of other countries' citizens
Review and Analysis of Theories Underlying Grammar Teaching Methodologies
Authors: Alqahtani Asma
Published: January 2023

Grammar is significant in learning other language skills, such as speaking and writing. Theories of teaching grammar in a foreign language are vital as they allow EFL teachers to build a frame for language learners. Grammar instruction is a bridge that links learners with other skills and if their grammar competence is vulnerable, the whole language production will be weak too. This study seeks to understand and review language theories that underlie daily grammar teaching. Many of EFL/ESL teachers teach grammar without a solid understanding of the language theories that inform their actual teaching practices and methodologies. This paper sheds light on the linguistics theories underlying grammar teaching methodologies in most English as foreign language classes and textbooks. It is significant for English teachers to have a basic knowledge of language acquisition theories as it directly influences their ability to provide appropriate content-area instructions.
TESL Undergraduates’ Perceptions: Utilizing Social Media to Elevate Speaking Skills
Authors: Donny Claudia Dona , Adnan Nor Hafizah
Published: January 2023

Teaching English as a Second Language undergraduates are English teachers in training. Recently, a concern arose when it was found that these undergraduates in Indonesia perceived their speaking skills as the lowest in terms of their mastery. Many studies have been conducted on the use of social media. Still, there is a literature gap in using social media among TESL undergraduates in the Malaysian context. Thus, this study aimed to explore TESL undergraduates’ perceptions of their speaking skill mastery and their perceptions of utilizing social media to enhance their speaking skills. It was significant to investigate how those undergraduates feel about their speaking skill mastery to create self-awareness. By being aware of their belief, they can find ways to keep improving themselves. The main question for the study was to discover respondents’ belief in their speaking mastery level and respondents’ self-confidence in speaking performance. A total of 132 respondents from the National University of Malaysia participated in this research through an online questionnaire conducted on Google Forms. The results showed that the students recorded unsatisfactory perceptions of their speaking skill mastery. The data revealed that social media does help in elevating their speaking skills. The students chose ‘WhatsApp,’ ‘YouTube,’ and ‘TikTok’ as their preferred social media that help their oral communication skills. In addition, limitations and recommendations were explained to better future works in the equivalent or relevant studies.

Authors: Khelkhal Salima , OUAHMICHE GHANIA
Published: January 2023

Social media paved the way for the emergence of a new type of celebrity: the internet celebrity. Internet celebrities have changed how young people speak, dress, and act. The present study examines the impact of social media and internet celebrities on the lifestyle habits of Algerian EFL learners. A lot of studies have been conducted on how social media can be used in EFL learning, yet very little is known about their effects beyond the EFL classroom. The findings of this study could provide insights into how excessive media usage could lead to the cultivation of new habits and lifestyle tendencies among young people. The main questions that guided this study were: to what extent are Algerian EFL learners exposed to social media? To what extent do they interact with internet celebrities? And how are they influenced by internet celebrities? One hundred and eleven students of English at Mostefa Ben Boulaid University, Algeria, were surveyed in this study. The findings suggest that Algerian EFL learners are heavily exposed to social networks due to the usefulness and efficiency of these networks as informal language learning tools. In addition to language learning, EFL learners are very attracted by other online content, such as fashion and cooking, which makes them continuously involved with, and influenced by, social media celebrities. Consequently, this continuous involvement with internet celebrities shapes EFL learners’ lifestyle habits.

The uppermost aim of this study is to scrutinize the perceptions of translanguaging by undergraduate female students of English literature (drama) as a major. The study’s central question is how female drama students perceive translanguaging in their English literature classroom. Moreover, The critical significance of this research paper is how female drama students perceive the use of translanguaging for the first second language (L2) learning. The results of this study are expected to fill the knowledge gap about how the students perceive the use of the first language ( L1) in English literature classrooms in Arabs contexts in general and in King Khalid University’s contexts in particular. Female students’ perceptions of drama were scrutinized by using a Likert-type questionnaire of thirteen items which were assayed quantitatively utilizing descriptive data. The participants of the study were twenty-five female students of drama majoring in English language and pursuing their undergraduate program at King Khalid university. The paramount results of the probe indicated that responses of female students of English drama to the statements in the questionnaire were mixed and echoed both positive and negative about using the first language and the second language in an English literature classroom. Moreover, female students’ perceptions of the application of (L1) in classes of English drama were generally good on the use of both the first language and the second language. The study revealed that the use of the English language is advantageous and can help enhance English fours skills, English proficiency, and understanding of the drama.Their views are more optimistic about using (L2) than using( L1). Also, they perceived that they would learn more successfully in English drama classes if translanguaging practice was utilized by a professor of English drama which means that the application of translanguaging within English drama classrooms is a practical and sound strategy that benefits female students of drama to boost their English fluency, generate insights, comprehend the content, and delve deeper into the subject matter of English drama.

Published: January 2023

The global market for clinical trials is directed at harmonizing international cooperation to address issues of universal provision of high quality and availability of medicines. Considering the ubiquitous nature of digitalization, at the present stage there are a number of barriers that impede the close international cooperation of social agents in the clinical research industry: the fragmentation of the rules and requirements of ethical and legal regulation, as well as significant disadvantages in the popularization of such research in the public mind. The Russian clinical trials sector is lagging behind in the development of digital volunteer/patient search services, that reduces the ability to conduct large valid clinical trials with human participation. The article presents data from a comparative analysis of popular digital volunteer/patient search services currently available on the global Internet for their compliance with the requirements of a consumer request, and also suggests options for their improvement. The result of the study was the identification of problem areas of the modern market for international clinical trials, as well as factors lagging behind the Russian sector due to the imbalance of the legislative framework and the low quality of domestic digital platforms for promoting and attracting volunteers

Authors: Zhang Xiaofei  , Ni Bin
Published: January 2023

Background: Some patients with structural heart disease are typically treated or improved by minimally invasive surgeries. Aim: To summarize the efficacy and experience in the treatment of congenital heart disease (CHD) using the second generation of Amplatzer patent ductus arteriosus (ADO- II) occluder. Methods: A total of 37 patients who were admitted to the cardiac surgery department of our hospital from June 2014 to April 2019 were included. After preoperative echocardiography and clinical screening, intraoperative transthoracic echocardiography, and cardiovascular angiography, postoperative echocardiography was carried out to evaluate the incidence of residual shunt and the location and morphology of the ADO-II occluder, as well as postoperative complications. Results: All patients were successfully treated using the ADO-II occluder. There were 27 (73%) cases with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), as well as 5 (13.5%) cases with ventricular septal defect (VSD), 1 case (2.7%) with VSD combined with PDA, 1 case (2.7%) with aortopulmonary collateral arteries combined with PDA, 1 case (2.7%) with right coronary artery-right atrial fistula, and 2 (5.4%) cases were recanalized after ligation of the main pulmonary artery. All patients had no obvious abnormality in ECG reexamination one month after surgery; The x-ray showed no displacement and shedding, and no long-term significant residual shunt was found in transthoracic echocardiography. No death was reported. Conclusions: The ADO-II occluder is relatively simple to operate, with a high success rate and few complications, and it can be applied to not only PDA occlusion but also to other CHDs, making it worthy of further clinical promotion under the premise of grasping the indicators of interventional therapy.

The priority elements of the e-government system with Blockchain technologies in the most important socially oriented areas are the electronic health system, electronic education and science system, electronic environment, etc., the introduction of which is designed to make public information open to the public, in particular on the state of the environment, directions and volumes of use of public funds, Land Management, the state of development and use of mineral resources, etc.; automate some processes of management of the relevant areas (personnel, monitoring, finance, reporting); improve the Electronic Document Management System in educational and scientific institutions, healthcare and the environment; ensure that users of the system can receive services in the relevant areas through online services, including checking the validity of documents, registering in electronic queues, and so on. It should be noted that educational institutions provide applicants with "information", which in the learning process should turn into "knowledge". We note that the main difference between knowledge and information is the degree of organization and consciousness of Primary Data. In our opinion, the main difference lies not only in the degree of organization and consciousness of primary data but also in the orientation. So, information is the" raw material " for the formation of knowledge, the main resource, service, and product. Knowledge, in our opinion, is systematic, structured information that an individual has. That is, knowledge is a quality of the individual. A modern successful person needs to learn throughout his life. At the same time, the ability to make decisions independently, the ability to think, and the ability to solve complex interdisciplinary problems in non-standard situations become essential. This makes it necessary for a modern person to have the skills to search, analyze and process information in accordance with the methodology of scientific knowledge using digital technologies. The foundation for obtaining knowledge by a person is education, in the process of which educational institutions provide the applicant with "information" that he must turn into "knowledge". The process of converting information into knowledge in the modern environment is possible only if the information and research competencies are formed.

Found the intensity of the wind regime decreased most strongly in the south of the region. Determined that strong winds arose mainly over Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi, Chornomorsk, and Odesa-AMSC during cyclonic circulation with large baric gradients. Revealed the predominance of stable stratified air with moderate wind shear from the surface to the level of 925 hPa on the eve of the strong wind in the Odesa region.

The relevance of determining the type of circulation and thermodynamic conditions of heavy snowfall in the Lviv region is due to the significant complication of meteorological conditions for aircraft flight due to heavy snowfall. Revealed the significant annual snowfall in the Lviv region from 2011 to 2021 at each station of the region with an increase in the number of cases towards the Carpathian Mountains. Established that heavy snowfall was observed at the stations of the Lviv region once every 3-5 years, with an increase in the number of cases after 2016, and the maximum of the annual flow occurred in February and December. Determined that heavy snowfalls were mainly formed under the influence of the occluded front during the movement or formation of the cyclone center over the northwest of Ukraine within the cold high-altitude baric basin at the level of 500 hPa during the north-west transport of air masses at altitudes from 750 to 3000 m.

The study selected a technical solution to improve the mixing of polymeric materials in the extruder with the modernization of the worm based on the execution of a detachable mixing and dispersing section. It is formed by a pair of elements, each in the form of a cylinder with coots evenly made along the side surface inclined towards one of its bases, converging to nothing. This design of the extruder worm eliminates the formation of stagnant zones, but also due to the alternation in the circular direction of each element of the specified section of the annular sections and sections in the form of circular segments, it provides a high mixing and dispersing effect of the machine as a whole.

Published: January 2023

Sucul ortamda bulunan mikrokirleticiler insan sağlığı ve çevre için olumsuz etkilere neden olmaktadır. Mikrokirleticiler biyolojik arıtmaya karşı dirençli oldukları için atıksu arıtma tesislerinde tam olarak giderilememekte ve alıcı ortama deşarj edilmektedir. Bu kapsamda yüzeysel sular en fazla mikrokirletici kirliliğine maruz kalmaktadır. Bu çalışmada Orta Karadeniz bölgesinin en büyük nehirlerinden birisi olan Kızılırmak ve Yeşilırmak nehirleri insan aktivitleri, endüstriyel ve tarımsal deşarjlar nedeniyle yoğun bir şekilde kirlenmektedir. Bu nedenle Kızılrmak ve Yeşil ırmak nehirlerinin fizikokimyasal ve organik kirletici parametrelerinin ölçülerek hesaplanması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmanın en önemli amacı ise Kızılrmak ve Yeşilırmak nehirlerine yapılan deşarjlar sonucunda mikrokirletici akıbetini belirlemektir. Bu kapsamda Dünya’da yüzeysel sularda sıklıkla tespit edilen dört farklı mikrokirletici grubu (kafein, naproksen, atenolol ve sülfametoksazol) açısından izleme çalışması yapılmıştır. Bu mikrokirleticiler olup yüzeysel sularda sıklıkla tespit edilen kirleticilerden seçilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı yüzeysel suların maruz kaldığı mikrokirletici konsantrasyonlarının belirlenmesi ve literatürdeki çalışmalara katkı sağlamaktır. Ayrıca mikrokirleticiler Birleşmiş Milletler Sürüdürülebilir Kalkınma Hedeflerinin gerçekleştirilmesi için küresel bir tehdit haline geldiği için bu tarz çalışmalar önem taşımaktadır.
