The Resilience of Rural Women Entrepreneurs With ICT Adoption During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Gunawan Beni Teguh
Published: December 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic had a major impact on the economy and labor force. In the context of employment, ICT provided an alternative for employees to remain productive. Unfortunately, the low penetration of ICT in Indonesia resulted in the low adaptation of technology in rural areas. This study aims to examine the impact of ICT usage on the resilience of women entrepreneurs in rural areas. The study utilized data from the High-Frequency Monitoring of COVID-19 Impacts (HFMCI) survey conducted by the World Bank, specifically Wave 1 and 5. The data were subsequently analyzed using logistic regression with some variable interactions. The results show that ICT usage has a significant negative impact on business sustainability for women entrepreneurs in rural areas, while in some interaction variables, the usage of ICT in the wholesale and retail trade sector and other sectors has a higher probability in the sustainability of rural women entrepreneurs. The results confirm that rural women entrepreneurs in Indonesia face numerous problems in accessing and utilizing ICT. Strategies need to be developed to increase access, improve human resource skills, and reduce the cost of ICT access to support community economic activities.

Published: December 2024

Women's entrepreneurship is burgeoning globally, marked by an awareness of their pivotal role in driving economic growth, fostering innovation, and contributing to community development. However, historical constraints rooted in societal norms, cultural expectations, and systemic barriers have impeded women's participation in entrepreneurial endeavors. Despite the positive impact of women entrepreneurs on economic development, poverty reduction, and social inclusion, they grapple with challenges such as limited access to financial resources, gender bias, and underrepresentation in leadership roles. Notably, there is a research gap in understanding entrepreneurial self-efficacy in the tourism and hospitality industry within developing countries. This study aims to address this gap by scrutinizing the relationship between entrepreneurial self-efficacy, entrepreneurial passion, women entrepreneurship on the overall development of tourism globally.

Authors: Yurdakul Erol Mert , Yokuş Gürol
Published: December 2024

This study aims to contribute to the tourism potentials and social acceptances of rural women entrepreneurs and give support to both themselves and their families and the local region through an educational curriculum to be developed for improving their sustainable rural tourism ideas and motivation for rural tourism entrepreneurship. In this study, it is emphasized that in Turkey -which is a developing OECD country- economic opportunities in rural areas are often much diminished for women in many circumstances with risks and disadvantages, however, rural tourism activities as a tool to change this situation will be effective on empowering rural women. Focusing on this interesting case, this study aims to review the literature on rural tourism for women, address the opportunities and challenges faced by women entrepreneurs in rural areas, and design a educational curriculum to increase their awareness and empowerment with a focus on rural tourism in line with the views of academics, working rural women, a woman local manager in rural tourism and a women's association.

VONTADE E INDIVIDUAÇÃO
Authors: Bortolotti Ricardo Gião
Published: December 2024

Este artigo pretende apresentar a relação entre dois pensadores distantes no tempo: Duns Scotus e Hannah Arendt. Não se trata de ceder ao anacronismo desbragado, mas de abordar algumas concepções fundamentais para Arendt, admiradora do voluntarismo escotista. Scotus fornece a Arendt elementos para que ela possa fundamentar a liberdade da vontade. A manifestação do indivíduo no espaço político arendtiano revela a sua singularidade, quem ele é, que, com a sua participação vai se evidenciando. Portanto, não se trata de exteriorizar uma natureza, mas de deseinteriorizar o pensamento, individuando-o. Para isso, Arendt valoriza, em seu trabalho, a pessoa, a qual se revela no mundo da aparência a partir da enunciação de opiniões, orientada pelo amor mundi. Assim, a partir do autor medieval, este artigo procura esclarecer o uso de noções, como o princípio de individuação, a noção de pessoa, de vontade livre, de contingência, dentre outras. Importante notar que, para Arendt, a liberdade não é interna, mas tem início com a ação externa, com o nascimento do indivíduo no mundo comum.

Authors: You Jing Tian , Zhang Fu Cheng , Zhang Peng , Yang Zhi Nan
Published: December 2024

Wind power, an environmentally friendly renewable energy source, has been widely adopted globally. The advancement in large-scale wind power equipment design technology has led to increased demands for steel plates with high strength, low-temperature fracture toughness, and welding performance. By employing a composition design featuring low carbon equivalent and utilizing mechanical metallurgy technology, a high-performance EH420 steel plate with a thickness of 90 mm specifically for wind power applications was successfully developed. The steel plate exhibited mechanical properties surpassing standard requirements, with a yield strength exceeding 420 MPa and an impact energy of 195 J at-40 °C. The ultrasonic inspection quality of the steel plate met the S2E3 requirements outlined in the European EN10160-1999 standard. Welded joints demonstrated exceptional comprehensive properties with welding heat inputs ranging from 15 kJ/cm to 50 kJ/cm. In conclusion, the newly developed steel plate meets the design and operational demands of large-scale wind power equipment.
Psychotropic Drugs in Dermatology. Part 2: Antipsychotics, Sedative-Hypnotics and Anxiolytics in Dermatology
Authors: Choudhary Ankita , Bose Shiti , Varsha K. L. , Madke Bhushan
Published: December 2024

Dermatology as a branch is a panoramic canvas with a spectrum of manifestation, and psychodermatology is one emerging paradigm in its epicentre. Traditionally, it was thought that psychiatrists deal with “internal” nonvisible disease, while dermatology centres around “external” visible dermatoses and cosmetic disfigurement, hence, with this belief, psychodermatology appeared as an oxymoron to many. Management of psychodermatological disorders requires a multidisciplinary approach, which includes a combination of psychopharmacology, psychotherapy and timely referral as and when needed. The commonly available psychotherapeutics at the disposal of dermatologists include antidepressants, mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, anxiolytics and sedative-hypnotics, the last three of which have been focused in this part of the review.
Anatomic site distribution of Neisseria gonorrhoeae in men who have sex with men attending a tertiary care hospital in North India
Authors: Verma Rachna , Gupta Somesh , Gupta Niharika , Singh Rajendra , Mala Rajni , Sood Seema
Published: December 2024

Background and Objectives:

Anorectal and pharyngeal infections with Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) are common in men who have sex with men (MSM). However, they are often asymptomatic and found in the absence of reported risk behavior and concurrent genital infection. These serve as a hidden reservoir for ongoing transmission and may cause complications. Additionally, they drive the transmission of other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including HIV and may contribute to the development of antimicrobial resistance. The current study was undertaken to study the anatomic site distribution of gonococcal infection in MSM as limited data are available from India.

Materials and Methods:

A total of 127 MSM patients attending the STI clinic Dermatology Outpatient Department of AIIMS were included in the study. A duplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) targeting opa and porA psuedogene targets using in-house primers was standardized and used for testing. In addition, all samples were processed by conventional methods, i.e., microscopy and culture.

Results:

A total of 26 patients were found to be positive for NG by PCR with a prevalence rate of 20%. The prevalence rate for urethral, rectal, and pharyngeal gonorrhea was 8.7%, 9.4%, and 4.7% respectively. Out of the 26 positives, 15 patients, i.e., 57.7%, had only extragenital infections and none were positive at all three sites. On the other hand, only three patients were culture positive at the urethral site.

Discussion:

We would have missed approximately 60% of the infections if the testing was restricted to genital sites only.

Conclusion:

An expanded testing including extragenital sites for screening of gonococcal infection in MSM will have clinical and public health benefits.

Energy Management Strategy Based on Fast Dynamic Programming for
Extender Range Electric Logistics Vehicle
Authors: Wei Changyin , Wei Yiyu , Yang Dinghao , Wang Yichen , Liu Dezheng
Published: December 2024

The computational efficiency of dynamic programming (DP) energy management
strategies is enhanced through the discretization of state variables in this
study. The upper and lower bounds of SOC (State of Charge) and the SOC variation
at each moment are calculated using the maximum and minimum power of the range
extender, which eliminates invalid state combinations and significantly reduces
the size of the feasible state set. To investigate the impact of different
sampling intervals on SOC during various phases, intervals at 1s, 2s, 4s, 5s,
and 10s are set for both charge retention and consumption phases. It is revealed
that in the consumption phase, different sampling intervals minimally affect
SOC, with trajectories closely matching. However, in the charge retention phase,
the impact of different sampling intervals on SOC is significant, resulting in
considerable differences in SOC trajectories. Additionally, in the
charging-discharging (CD) phase, fuel consumption significantly varies with
sampling intervals, decreasing as the interval increases. In contrast, during
the charge storage (CS) phase, minor differences in fuel consumption are
observed due to the larger power of the range extender. The DP computation time
in the CD phase is substantially less than in the CS phase, primarily because
the feasible domain in the CD phase is smaller. As sampling intervals decrease,
computation time increases exponentially, characteristic of the DP algorithm.
Sampling intervals are recommended to be increased in practical applications to
balance computational accuracy and efficiency. This research provides an
efficient computational approach for DP energy management strategies and
uncovers the impact patterns of sampling intervals on SOC stability and fuel
consumption, offering theoretical and practical guidance for the design of
energy management strategies.
Path Tracking and Direct Yaw Moment Integrated Control for Autonomous
Vehicles with Steer-by-Wire Based on LMI and Terminal Sliding
Mode
Authors: Li Danyang , Zhao Youqun , Lin Fen , Zhang Chenxi , Yu Song
Published: December 2024

This paper proposes a path-tracking and direct yaw moment integrated control
strategy based on linear matrix inequality (LMI) and terminal sliding mode for
autonomous distributed drive electric vehicles (A-DDEVs) equipped with a
steer-by-wire (SBW) system. This strategy effectively attenuates the effects of
external disturbances and parameter uncertainties on path tracking, thereby
enhancing vehicle safety. The control-oriented vehicle model accounts for roll
effects, with the system state matrix incorporating mismatched norm bounded
uncertainties. Firstly, for overall vehicle motion control, an LMI-based
integral sliding mode controller (ISMC) is designed to generate desired front
wheel steering angle and additional yaw moment. This aims to converge
path-tracking errors and ensure vehicle stability. A sufficient condition for
the existence of a sliding surface ensuring asymptotic stability of the sliding
mode dynamics is provided, along with a demonstration of the attainability of
the ISMC. Secondly, for the steer-by-wire steering system, a front wheel
steering angle tracking controller has been designed based on the nonsingular
terminal sliding mode control method. It is proven that the tracking error of
the closed-loop system converges to the sliding surface in finite time and
converges along the sliding surface to the origin. Additionally, a torque vector
controller based on constrained optimization method is designed to allocate
longitudinal driving forces and additional yaw moments. Finally, the
effectiveness of the control strategy is validated through high-fidelity
Carsim-Matlab simulations. Results demonstrate that the proposed control
strategy robustly ensures the accuracy of vehicle path tracking and yaw
stability. The results indicate that the proposed control strategy has excellent
performance in improving the vehicle path-tracking accuracy and ensuring the
vehicle stability.

Seek, and you shall find
Authors: Čobec Katarina

The Bible is the most frequently quoted text in European languages. In English, it is the King James Bible that has had the greatest cultural influence, mainly because it provided the language with hundreds of idiomatic expressions. Biblical quotations and expressions are also used in politics. The study reported in this article identifies the English biblical elements in the plenary sessions of the European Parliament (EP) from 2019 to 2024 in order to analyse their interpretation into Slovene and French. Quotations were identified by searching the EP corpus with keywords that can introduce biblical references, while biblical expressions were identified using a predefined list. Six examples of quotations and 41 different biblical expressions were identified. The accuracy and completeness of the analysed interpretations shed light on the biblical knowledge of the interpreters, who come from two countries with different cultural backgrounds but similar regulations on religious education in public schools, and both facing growing religious illiteracy. The results show that French interpreters fare slightly better than Slovene ones, and that while a satisfactory interpretation is possible without knowledge of the biblical reference, the overall quality of the message is much better when the interpreter is aware of it.
Zgodovina slovenskega literarnega prevoda
Authors: Trobevšek Drobnak Frančiška
Published: December 2024

The work Zgodovina slovenskega literarnega prevoda (A History of Slovenian Literary Translation) is a long-awaited and extremely welcome publication. Under the careful editorship of Nike Kocijančič Pokorn, Agnes Pisanski Peterlin, Tamara Mikolič Južnič, and Robert Grošelj, it presents the research of over sixty authors from various fields, ranging from translation, linguistics, and librarianship to literary studies, comparative literature, and theology. The diversity of this array of authors is also reflected in the topics discussed and their methodological approaches, especially because the authors were mostly involved in various research programs and projects at the time of writing their contributions. In this light, the editors’ decision not to require a unified approach from the authors is welcome and sensible. Any uniformity that the work may have thereby lost is undoubtedly counterbalanced by gains in integrity, appeal, and broader applicability not only among scholars, but also among the general public.
Virgin myths: origins and impact on sexual violence in Africa
Authors: Sarpong Owusu Emmanuel
Published: December 2024

Humankind has been preoccupied with virginity for thousands of years. The notion of virginity is highly valued in many cultures since it is usually associated with sacredness and purity. However, society’s obsession with virginity has resulted in the emergence of several virgin or virginity-related superstitions many of which trigger severe violence against young females presumed to be virgins. Surprisingly, the concept and historical developments of virginity- related superstitions, and the extent to which such beliefs impact violence against young females in African communities, have not been sufficiently explored. Drawing on a wide range of relevant literature and media reports, the present study explores the concept and origins of two virginity related superstitions—virgin cleansing myth and virgin ritual myth, highlighting their cultural and historical meaning. It also offers a cursory overview of the extent to which these beliefs and practices impact violence, particularly sexual assault, against young females in sub-Saharan Africa. It shows that even though virgin-related superstitions contribute to child sexual abuse and the spread of venereal diseases in Africa, the exact extent to which they impact such crimes and violence is unknown due to the unavailability of national data sets and the paucity of empirical studies on the two phenomena.
Thrifting as a sustainable form of fashion in South Africa
Authors: Hodgkinson S , Hoogendoorn G
Published: December 2024

The fashion industry has been criticised for being a source of environmental degradation and poor labour practices. As an alternative, sustainable fashion provides consumers of fashion with a different method of sourcing clothing in a conscious manner. Such alternatives include thrifting second-hand clothing, clothing swapping, and renting to prevent clothing in a wearable condition from being disposed. Thrifting as a form of sustainable fashion has developed both globally and in South Africa with motivations centred around environmental and financial benefits, personal aesthetics, and a concern for labour practices by fast fashion brands. Despite these developments, studies on thrifting in South Africa have been limited. This paper aimed to address this paucity by investigating thrifting practices as sustainable fashion consumption in South Africa. The findings revealed varied ethical motivations behind respondents’ thrifting activities, the frequency at which respondents thrift and the challenges they experienced. This paper contributes to the current understanding of thrifting practices in South Africa and proposes recommendations for future research.

Challenges of Digital Communication in Child-Centered NGO Interventions in Arusha, Tanzania
Authors: Ngowi Sarah
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the challenges of digital communication in project interventions conducted by child-centered non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Tanzania, focusing on NGOs in Arusha. The research aimed to evaluate the impact of digital communication channels on project interventions, examine the influence of sustainability factors on digital communication strategies, and analyze the types of strategies employed by these organizations. Data were collected from 18 NGOs and 110 respondents, and multiple linear regression was used to explore the relationships among the study variables. The findings revealed positive associations between digital communication strategies, sustainability factors, and digital communication channels with the effectiveness of project interventions. These results suggest that digital communication tools significantly enhance NGOs' ability to reach their target communities, improve project execution, and facilitate real-time engagement with stakeholders. Furthermore, sustainability factors, such as stable financial resources and consistent training, were found to amplify the effectiveness of digital strategies. To maximize impact, NGOs should focus on bridging digital literacy gaps through targeted training and investing in reliable digital infrastructure and robust data security measures to address the unique challenges of their operational environment.

Perfect Hilbert algebras
Authors: González Luciano J.
Published: December 2024

In [S. Celani and L. Cabrer. Duality for finite Hilbert algebras. Discrete Math., 305(1-3):74{99, 2005.] the authors proved that every finite Hilbert algebra A is isomorphic to the Hilbert algebra HK(X) = {w ⇒ i v : w ∈ K and v ⊆ w}, where X is a finite poset, K is a distinguished collection of subsets of X, and the implication ⇒i is defined by: w ⇒i v = {x ∈ X : w ∩ [x) ⊆ v}, where [x) = {y ∈ X : x ≤ y.} The Hilbert implication on HK(X) is the usual Heyting implication ⇒ i (as just defined) given on the increasing subsets. In the same article, Celani and Cabrer extended this representation to a full categorical duality. The aim of the present article is to obtain an algebraic characterization of the Hilbert algebras HK(X) for all structures (X, ≤, K) defined by Celani and Cabrer but not necessarily finite. Then, we shall extend this representation to a full dual equivalence generalizing the finite setting given by Celani and Cabrer.
Powers and limitations of Urquhart-style semantics I: basic substructural logics
Authors: Yang Eunsuk
Published: December 2024

This paper addresses three kinds of binary operational semantics, called here Urquhart-style semantics, for basic substructural logics. First, we discuss the most basic substructural logic GL introduced by Galatos and Ono and its expansions with structural axioms and their algebraic semantics. Next, we provide one kind of Urquhart-style semantics, whose frames form the same structures as algebraic semantics, for those substructural logics and consider powers and limitations of this kind of semantics in substructural logic. We then introduce another kind of Urquhart-style semantics, whose canonical frames are based on prime theories, for DL, the GL with distributivity, and some of its non-associative expansions and extend it to the semantics with star operations for negations. Similarly, we consider powers and limitations of these two kinds of semantics in substructural logic.

Nonlinearity Compensation of an Angular Position Encoder Using a Compact Linearization Circuit
Authors: Jovanović Jelena , Denić Dragan , Živanović Dragan , Ranđelović Ivana , Dinčić Milan , Miljković Goran
Published: December 2024

This paper presents a compact linearization circuit designed to compensate for the nonlinearity of an angular position encoder. The circuit comprises two main sections: a preprocessing circuit that generates a modified sine signal from the encoder output signals, and a two-stage piecewise linear analog-to-digital converter of a compact design that performs nonlinearity compensation and digital conversion of the modified sine signal. Compactness is achieved by utilizing a single flash analog-to-digital converter for both conversion stages, thereby reducing the number of power-consuming comparators and production costs. LabVIEW simulations demonstrate a major reduction in both the maximal absolute nonlinearity error and the relative nonlinearity error of the measurement system. Before linearization, these errors were 0.33067 rad and 21.05%, respectively, but decreased to 0.00654 rad and 0.10403% after linearization with the proposed circuit.

Authors: Kivelev Juri V. , Krivoshapkin Alexey L. , Sufianov Albert A.
Published: December 2024

Machine learning (ML) methodology surpasses the traditional tools of statistical analysis in processing big data clinical datasets .

Aim. To develop an ML algorithm of application of recurrent neural network to analyze clinical datasets of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).

Materials and methods. A big data registry included retrospective data from 2,631 patients with an arterial aneurysm. From these, 390 individuals were selected who required treatment for SAH in an intensive care unit (ICU) setting. The raw dataset contained 7290 features, from which 12 features were selected to train the following ML models: logistic regression, support vector machine, random forest, XGBoost, multilayer perceptron and long short-term memory network (LSTM) were tested. Data preprocessing and modeling were provided in Python (version 3.11.4) using scikitlearn, tensorfl ow, keras and hyperopt libraries. The values and 95% confi dence intervals (CI) of AUROC and AURPC, predictive value, specifi city and sensitivity were calculated.

Results. We recruited 246 (63%) females and 144 (37%) males with mean age of 54±12.9 years. Death occurred in 133 (34%) patients including 33 patients deceased during 24 hours after admission. The best model for predicting lethal outcome was LSTM. After comparison with other ML algorithms LSTM showed the highest predictive values (AUROC – 0.83; 95% CI: 0.72–0.92, AURPC – 0.62; 95% CI 0.39–0.81) in term of in-hospital mortality. For the period in ICU from day 3 to day 6, the model’s positive predictive value was 0.83, sensitivity 0.95 and specifi city 0.58.

Conclusions. LSTM may be applied to development of automatic algorithms in management of critically ill patients after SAH.

Utilising a comprehensive framework, rooted in Euro-Atlantic conceptual approaches, regulations, and strategic policies, we analyse how various factors - such as media literacy, social cohesion, trust in institutions, and the robustness of information ecosystems - contribute to a society's ability to withstand and manage the spread of false information. Through the case study on Romanian society facing two of the decade's greatest shocks, we hope to contribute to the broader discourse on disinformation by exploring the role of governmental and non-governmental initiatives in enhancing media literacy and fostering a resilient public sphere. The main goals of the paper are to provide informed insights and actionable recommendations for policymakers, educators, and community leaders aiming to build more informed and resilient communities in the face of disinformation.

Nietzsche contra o médico de almas e o poder do Estado na formação
Authors: LAURINDO MICHAELLA CARLA
Published: December 2024

Desde os primeiros registros textuais de Nietzsche, o médico filosófico tem sido associado às preocupações culturais, emergindo características significativas atribuídas a essa figura. Paralelamente, sempre existiu uma oposição ao conceito de “médico da alma”.Nesta investigação, a função do filósofo-médico é analisada em relação ao questionamento e à crítica tanto da tradição filosófica metafísica quanto da mercantilização do conhecimento. Uma posição clara de Nietzsche, que essa investigação mostra, é a rejeiçãode que os questionamentos filosóficos sejam fundamentados na “busca pela verdade” racional sobre o sofrimento humano.

Development of an Immunoassay for the Detection and Diagnosis of Microbially Influenced Corrosion Caused by Methanogenic Archaea
Authors: Lahme Sven , Mantilla Aguas Jorge
Published: December 2024

Microbially-influenced corrosion (MIC) is a costly problem across several industries. The steadily rising use of advanced molecular biological methods to investigate MIC allowed ever deeper insights into the underlying microbial community structure and function. However, currently available technologies do not allow accurate detection and diagnosis of MIC in the field. The recent discovery of a special hydrogenase in certain corrosive methanogenic Archaea allowed for the development of a first-ever MIC biomarker termed here micH. The micH gene encodes the large subunit of a special [NiFe] hydrogenase involved in MIC. Here we describe the development of a recombinant antibody that enables the specific and sensitive detection of the MicH protein in Western blot immunoassays. Using a recombinant MicH protein we determined the lower limit of detection per assay to be around 0.3 fg MicH. The immunoassay was able to detect a strong signal for the MicH protein in micH-positive pure cultures of Methanobacterium-like. strain IM1 that was cultivated on iron granules, and the signal was over 500 times lower in a micH-negative Methanococcus maripaludis S2 culture. To further evaluate the ability to differentiate corrosive from noncorrosive microbial communities, we tested ten oil field enrichment cultures that showed a wide range of corrosion rates (0.02 mm/y to 0.48 mm/y). We detected the MicH protein in planktonic (36.5  pg/mL to 1473.5 pg/mL) and carbon steel biofilm samples (41.0 pg/cm2 to 7971.3 pg/cm2) from corrosive methanogenic enrichments (0.17 mm/y to 0.48 mm/y) but did not detect MicH in any of the noncorrosive tests (<0.08 mm/y) despite methanogenic activity. The results indicate that corrosion was likely caused by methanogenic Archaea expressing a corrosive [NiFe] hydrogenase and that the newly developed MicH-specific immunoassay can detect and monitor their activity. The development of specific and sensitive immunoassays to detect a MIC biomarker allows corrosion scientists and field practitioners to detect and monitor the activity of corrosive methanogenic Archaea.
Remarks on the Limitations of the Third Romberg Integration Method in Numerical Extrapolation
Authors: AKINLABI Grace O. , NDUKA George S.
Published: December 2024

The Romberg extrapolation method (REM) is a powerful numerical integration tool that uses successive applications of the trapezoidal rule and Richardson extrapolation to obtain highly precise estimates of definite integrals. While the third Romberg extrapolates, in particular, produces a refined output by canceling higher-order error words, it has inherent restrictions in its use. This work investigates these limits, which include assumptions about function smoothness, computational complexity, and inefficiencies in dealing with discontinuities or highly oscillatory functions. Two worked examples are offered to exemplify the behaviour and performance of the third Romberg extrapolate in real applications, illustrating both its strengths and weaknesses.
DKAB ve Sınıf Öğretmenlerinin İlkokul 1.-3. Sınıflarda Yürütülmesi Muhtemel DKAB Dersine İlişkin Önerileri
Authors: Taşkın Osman , Çinemre Semra
Published: December 2024

Ülkemizde Din Kültürü ve Ahlak Bilgisi (DKAB) dersi 4. sınıftan itibaren yürütülmektedir. 2014 yılında gerçekleştirilen 19. Milli Eğitim Şûrası’nda DKAB dersinin, eksik bırakılmış olduğu ilkokul 1.-3. sınıf düzeylerinde de okutulması yönünde bir tavsiye kararı alınmıştır. Bu noktada, böyle bir uygulama hayata geçirilmeden önce sahanın zeminini oluşturacak akademik çalışmalara ihtiyaç duyulduğu açıktır. Bu düşünceden hareketle bu çalışmada konunun uygulamaya yönelik çeşitli boyutlarının DKAB ve sınıf öğretmeni görüşleri ile araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Nitel araştırma yöntemine göre planlanan çalışmada durum çalışması deseni kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubu, 2020-2021 Eğitim-Öğretim yılında Trabzon il merkezinde bulunan farklı ilkokullarda görev yapan sekiz sınıf, sekiz DKAB öğretmeni olmak üzere 16 öğretmenden oluşmaktadır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre her iki branştan 16 öğretmenden 10’u ilkokul 1.-3. sınıf düzeylerinde yer alması muhtemel bir DKAB dersi için 2. sınıfın, beşi 1. sınıfın, biri de 3. sınıfın uygun olduğu kanaatindedir. Sınıf öğretmenlerinin yarısı bu dersin seçmeli, yarısı zorunlu; DKAB öğretmenlerinin ise altısı zorunlu, biri seçmeli olması gerektiği görüşünde olup biri de bu konuda kararsız kalmıştır. Sınıf öğretmenleri böyle bir derste ağırlıklı olarak ahlaki içeriğin işlenmesinden yana iken DKAB öğretmenlerinde dinî içerik ahlaki içeriğe nispeten yüksek çıkmıştır. Her iki branş öğretmenleri, ilgili dersin materyal destekli ve aktif yöntem-tekniklerle işlenmesi gerektiğini belirtmiştir. Sınıf öğretmenlerinden dört kişi böyle bir dersi DKAB öğretmeninin, üç kişi sınıf öğretmeninin yürütebileceğini belirtmişken, DKAB öğretmenlerinden ise bir katılımcı haricinde tüm katılımcılar bu dersin DKAB öğretmenleri tarafından verilmesi gerektiğinden yanadır. Her iki branştan katılımcıların böyle bir ders için fırsat olarak gösterdikleri en ağırlıklı yön çocuğun erken yaşta dinî ve ahlaki değerleri kazanması, risk olarak gösterdikleri yön ise dersin zorunluluğuna bazı ailelerin tepki göstermesi ihtimalidir.

Published: December 2024

Bu araştırmanın amacı 4-6 yaş çocukların yakın arkadaşa yönelik algılarını ve beklentilerini keşfetmek ve yakın arkadaşlarıyla çatışma çözme yollarını incelemektir. Türkiye’de bir il merkezinde okul öncesi eğitime devam eden 25 çocuk yarı yapılandırılmış bir mülakata katılmış ve en iyi arkadaşlarıyla birlikte kendilerini resmetmişlerdir. Çocuklarla birebir yapılan görüşme sonrası elde edilen veriler, yakın arkadaşlık algıları, çatışma ve çözüm yolları, yakın arkadaşlarla ilişkili ortamlar olmak üzere üç tema altında incelenmiştir. Sonuçlar, çocukların en iyi arkadaşlarını hem kendi cinsiyetleri hem de kendileri ile benzer ilgi ve özelliğe sahip çocuklardan seçtikleri ve yaşça büyük çocukların en iyi arkadaşlarından daha fazla şefkat talep ettiklerini göstermektedir. Çocuklar yakın arkadaşlığı ise oyun oynamak olarak tanımlamışlardır. Ayrıca küçük çocukların dramatik oyunları tercih ettiği, yaş ilerledikçe ise hareketli oyunları tercih etme eğiliminde oldukları tespit edilmiştir. Çocukların çatışma çözme stratejileri incelendiğinde, yaş ilerledikçe özür dilemenin çatışma çözümünde yeterli olduğu konusunda ortak bir anlayışın olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Araştırma sonuçları öfkeli ve saldırgan davranışların küçük çocukların arkadaşları ile ilişkilerinin bozulmasına sebep olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu araştırma, öğretmenlere ve ebeveynlere, çocukların sosyal beceri gelişimini desteklemek ve sağlıklı arkadaşlık ilişkileri kurmalarına yardımcı olmak amacıyla çeşitli öneriler sunmuştur.

Published: December 2024

Küreselleşme, teknolojinin ilerlemesi, iletişim becerilerin artması, üst düzey düşünme becerilerinin kullanımın yaygınlaşması vb. durumlar yaşadığımız yüzyılda öğrenci profillerini değiştirmektedir. Eğitim fakültesinde öğrenim gören sınıf öğretmenliği ve okulöncesi öğretmenliği öğrencileri, görev yapacakları okullarda öğrencilerine yaşadıkları yüzyılda hayatları boyunca kullanacakları temel öğrenmeleri kazandırmak için eğitim almaktadırlar. Yaşamın gerektirdiği becerileri öğrencilerine öğretme amacında olan temel eğitim bölümünde okuyan öğretmen adaylarının öncelikle kendilerinin yirmi birinci yüzyıl becerileri ile tanışmış olmaları ve yansıtıcı düşünme becerilerini geliştirmeleri önemli görülmüştür. Bu çalışmanın genel amacı sınıf öğretmenliği ve okulöncesi öğretmenliğinde okuyan öğretmen adaylarının yirmi birinci yüzyıl becerileri ile yansıtıcı düşünmelerinin incelenmesidir. Bu çalışma Harran Üniversitesi Temel Eğitim Bölümü öğrencileri ile yürütülmüştür. Nicel araştırmanın esas alındığı çalışmada ilişkisel tarama yöntemi kullanılmıştır. 310 öğrencinin katıldığı çalışmada iki farklı ölçek kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda temel eğitim bölümü öğrencilerinin çok boyutlu 21. yüzyıl becerilerinin ve yansıtıcı düşünmelerinin cinsiyet ve bölüm özelliklerine göre ölçek boyutlarında anlamlı farklılıklar tespit edilmesine rağmen ölçeklerin toplam puanlarına göre anlamlı farklılık olmadığı; sınıf değişkenine göre tespit edilen anlamlı farklılığın dördüncü sınıf lehine olduğu görülmüştür.
