Authors: Susanna Carolina TN , De Moraes C. Gustavo , Alhadeff Paula , Susanna Bianca , Susanna Fernanda , Germano Renato Antunes Schiave , Susanna Remo
Published: December 2024

Purpose: To evaluate the reproducibility and between-eyes symmetry of time of the intraocular pressure (IOP) elicited with the water drinking test (WDT) in treated glaucomatous patients.Methods: Prospective cohort study that included ninety-nine patients, 198 eyes of treated primary open-angle glaucoma patients.  All patients underwent the WDT performed in two consecutive visits without any change in the therapeutic regimen. The interval between tests was 4 to 6 months. The test was performed at the same time of the day (4.00PM +/- one hour). The reproducibility of time of the IOP peak and the relationship between peak times between fellow eyes during the two consecutive WDT sessions were assessed.Results: 59.6% and 71% of IOP peaks occurred at the same time during the two WDT sessions in right and left eyes, respectively. In the first and second WDT sessions, the agreement in IOP peak times between eyes was 60% and 63%, respectively. Conclusion: There was modest reproducibility in the time of IOP peaks between two consecutive WDT sessions, as well as moderate agreement in the time of peaks between fellow eyes. In light of these findings, clinicians should avoid performing simplified versions of the WDT to evaluate IOP peaks.

Purpose: To report the coincidence of acute retinal necrosis (ARN) syndrome following acute meningoencephalitis and presumed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in an immunocompetent patient. Case Report: A 58-year-old female presented to our emergency department with sudden unilateral visual loss following a recent hospitalization for viral meningoencephalitis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of the aqueous humor, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RTPCR) of the nasopharyngeal swab specimen, chest computed tomography (CT), and fundus photography were performed for the patient. Ophthalmic examination revealed severe ocular inflammation and yellowish patches of necrotizing retinitis in the right eye, compatible with the diagnosis of ARN. The result of aqueous humor PCR was positive for varicella zoster virus (VZV). The patient received a single intravitreal ganciclovir injection and 10 days of intravenous ganciclovir, followed by oral acyclovir. The patient underwent COVID-19 screening tests: while the chest CT scan showed features highly suggestive of COVID-19, the RT-PCR was negative on two occasions. Two months later, best-corrected visual acuity improved to 20/70 in the right eye, the anterior chamber reaction and keratic precipitates resolved, and the vitreous haze decreased significantly. Conclusion: A case of VZV-induced ARN following acute meningoencephalitis was observed in association with presumed COVID-19. This could be an incidental finding during the COVID-19 pandemic; however, it could also suggest that COVID-19 might trigger ARN in cases with latent herpes family viruses.

Authors: Kowalik Michał
Published: December 2024

Zdobienie tkanin jest jedną z najstarszych tradycji artystycznych przynależnych człowiekowi. Oprócz barwienia i łączenia tkanin, by stworzyć ubranie czy inną formę użytkową, jak najbardziej wymyślą, ludzie zdobili materiał haftami. W polskiej sztuce ludowej posiadamy niezwykłe zróżnicowanie regionalne. W tekście poruszona zostaje problematyka użycia haftów krzczonowskich, ich form, a także zagrożeń wynikających z przemian społeczno-kulturowych. Ich historia jest nierozerwalnie związana ze strojem mieszkańców Krzczonowa i okolic, co także jest tematem analiz. Niezwykłość tego elementu dziedzictwa kulturowego i jego duża rozpoznawalność warte są uwagi i prowadzenia dalszych badań. Wciąż duża żywotność tej grupy haftów ludowych powoduje powstanie zjawisk kulturowych i społecznych związanych np. z wykorzystaniem nowych mediów do adaptacji wzorów ludowych do obecnych realiów. Autor analizuje źródła zastane, bazuje także na wieloletniej obserwacji społeczności, w których ten rodzaj haftu do dziś jest użytkowany, oraz na uzupełniającej wiedzę teoretyczną własnej praktyce artystycznej.

Published: December 2024

This ethnographic study explores the rich tapestry of ritual and cultural prac­tices in Coporaque, a peasant community in the southern Andes of Peru, highlighting the deep integration of religiosity into everyday life. Coporaque, with roots dating back to pre-Incan times, reflects a unique synergy of pre-Columbian and Catholic influences that manifest through rituals and festivities ranging from the celebration of the Day of the Dead to the festivities of San Santiago and the Cocha fiesta. The study employs an ethnographic approach consisting of participant observation and semi-struc­tured interviews, facilitating an understanding of how faith and the veneration of natural elements, such as the Apus and cochas, contribute to community cohesion and cultural continuity. The findings highlight how the community strives to maintain its ancestral traditions while facing the challenges of modernity and emphasize the role of these practices in fostering a sense of community identity and cultural resilience.
BNPL in the Consumerism World: About the Excessive Debt Trap
Authors: Bagniewski Bartosz , Kubiczek Jakub , Żuchowska Zuzanna
Published: December 2024

The purpose of the article. This article aims to present the characteristics of BNPL and the excessive debt risk it poses within the context of widespread consumerism.
Methodology. The study relies on secondary data obtained through a thematic literature review, encompassing scientific publications and industry reports. Focusing on the Polish BNPL market, the research synthesizes this information to outline BNPL’s operational characteristics, identify determinants influencing Polish consumers' adoption of BNPL, and discuss both the prospects and risks associated with BNPL usage.
Results of the research. Findings indicate that BNPL facilitates consumer purchases by deferring payments, which can drive consumerism and increase the inclination to use BNPL, thus accelerating its growth. The simplicity and convenience of BNPL, coupled with the absence of immediate financial repercussions, can lead to irresponsible usage and push consumers into an excessive debt trap. Additionally, a lack of economic knowledge, particularly financial literacy, further heightens the risk of a debt spiral. In the context of broader discussions on BNPL, other significant risks must be considered, as the expansion of these services depends on meeting expectations similar to those of other digital lending options. This includes establishing consumer trust in BNPL, largely through mitigating such risks. Like other digital services, BNPL requires the sharing of personal data, introducing potential security concerns. Therefore, BNPL providers must prioritize data protection to secure consumer information. Additionally, consumers should stay cautious to avoid fraud, like phishing, by being aware of the risks.
O zagrożeniach bezpieczeństwa ekonomicznego w społeczeństwie ryzyka
Authors: Leszczyński Marek
Published: December 2024

Cel artykułu. Celem artykułu jest analiza i diagnoza bezpieczeństwa ekonomicznego w kontekście holistycznycznie pojmowanych wyzwań społecznych. Głównym problemem badawczym podjętym w artykule jest nasilanie się zagrożeń ekonomicznych w warunkach przejścia do kapitalizmu finansowego oraz zwiększania się społecznych kosztów ryzyka tego przejścia.
Metoda badawcza. W artykule wykorzystano głównie studia literaturowe, metodę opisową i narracyjną.
Wyniki badań. Nadmierna liberalizacja rynków finansowych przyniosła więcej strat niż korzyści, zapomniano o wartości pracy i idei pełnego zatrudniania. Większość ludzi na świecie utrzymuje się z dochodów z pracy, tymczasem zachwianie proporcji między sektorem wytwórczym a finansowym spowodowało spadek dochodów z pracy i zmusiło znakomitą część pracujących chcących utrzymać bądź zwiększyć poziom konsumpcji do zaciągania kredytów i pożyczek. Rośnie konsumpcja, ale rośnie zadłużenie gospodarstw domowych. Sektor finansowy rozrósł się ponad miarę, zaburzając podstawy racjonalnego podejmowania decyzji przez konsumentów – w oparciu o rzeczywistą, realną wartość dochodów do dyspozycji.
The Scope and Direction of Changes in the Revenues of Local Government Units in Poland in the New Act of October 1, 2024
Authors: Hajdys Dagmara
Published: December 2024

The purpose of the article. The purpose of the study is to present the basic assumptions adopted in the new law on the revenues of local government units and changes in the financial situation of different types of local government units in Poland.
Methodology. The article is of an overview and organizational nature, and the adopted legislation, the draft law with introductory documents and the opinions of local government organizations have been used to achieve the intended purpose.
Results of the research. The adoption of a new law on local government revenues is aimed at reforming the financial system to restore stability and transparency. It is also a response to the changing socio-economic and political situation. Under the law, all local government units, but not all equally, will receive increased funding streams for public functions, mainly based on their own revenues. The level of local government revenue has been freed from central government decisions on fiscal policy. The need to support local governments in the area of development and ecology has been recognized by defining development and ecology needs and granting them an appropriate financial component. A complete novelty is the separation of a city with county rights from the local government structure. Some of the solutions introduced deserve recognition. It should not be forgotten, however, that there are also those that will need to be adapted. These include the "determinants" adopted for the various algorithms used to determine the expenditure needs of each LGU. Only practice will show whether they have been correctly estimated and take into account the right variables. Building a stable system of financing for local government units will require both the government and local government sides to work together in many ways, with mutual understanding and partnership.

Authors: Gupta Khushboo , Bordoloi Nirmali
Published: December 2024

Background: Constant use of chemical fertilizer in agriculture field, degrade overall soil quality and increases the environmental pollution. Integrated nutrient management is an eco-friendly and cost-effective method that involves the combined application of organic amendment and inorganic fertilizer resulting in upgrading soil health, crop productivity, carbon sequestration and mitigating climate change. The current study aimed to examine the combined effects of organic amendment and inorganic fertilizer on soil quality and crop productivity in maize-wheat cropping systems. Methods: A two-year field experiment was conducted in the month of June-October (2021-2022) for maize and Nov-April (2021- 2022 and 2022-2023) for wheat crop. Fertilizer treatments, viz., control (zero fertilizer), NPK (recommended fertilizer), 50% NPK + A. chroococum, 50% NPK + green manure, 50% NPK + karanja cake, 50% NPK + poultry waste, 50% NPK + wheat residue, 50% NPK + maize residue were applied in a randomized block design with four replications. Result: Application of 50% NPK+ poultry waste showed higher soil organic carbon (0.91% and 0.92%) and microbial biomass carbon (353.42 mg kg-1 and 394.35 mg kg-1) followed by 50% NPK+ karanja cake. Application of 50% NPK + poultry waste increased grain yield by 48.5% and 23.25% in maize and wheat respectively over control. Poultry waste, as a replacement for sole NPK, could be a promising strategy for the management of soil health as well as crop productivity.

Published: December 2024

Background: Wheat is the prime and staple food in the world as well as India and it is grown in peninsular zone of India. The production of wheat was suffered due to biotic and abiotic factors in the country. Therefore, the present study was focused on assessing the genetic variability and morphological characterization among the cultivar under south eastern plain of Rajasthan. Methods: Thirty-two cultivars of wheat were evaluated in RBD with four replications during rabi season 2022-23 at AICRP on Seed (Crops), Agriculture University, Kota, Rajasthan. Result: Significant differences were observed among the cultivars for all traits studied. A wide range of variation was noted for most of these traits. The phenotypic variance for most traits closely matched the corresponding genotypic variance, indicating minimal environmental influence on their expression. High broad-sense heritability (%) combined with substantial genetic advance as a percentage of the mean was observed for traits such as biological yield per plant (g), number of grains per spike, harvest index (%) and grain yield per plant (g), suggesting these traits would respond well to selection. Grain yield per plant (g) showed a significant positive correlation at both phenotypic and genotypic levels with biological yield per plant (g) (0.744; 0.709), test weight (g) (0.436; 0.402) and days to maturity (0.249; 0.230). Biological yield per plant (g) had the strongest direct positive effect on grain yield per plant (g) at both levels (1.478; 1.282), followed by harvest index (%) (0.880; 0.904). These traits are recommended as key selection criteria for improving yield and ensuring stable performance in wheat cultivars.
Rethinking the Institution of Masjid as a Community Development Center in Bangladesh
Authors: Asif Nayeem , Utaberta Nangkula , Ismail Sumarni , Sabil Azmal
Published: December 2024

The institution of masjid (mosque) acted as the center of activities of Muslim communities for centuries. Until now, masjid has been a significant establishment within any Muslim community. Nevertheless, today's masjids are not involved with society and not as active as they were during the early age of Islam. In Bangladesh for particular, where 86% of the population is Muslim, the institution of masjid is merely utilized as a place of worship, devoid of any community development activity. This study aims to identify the factors behind the idleness of masjid institutions within Muslim communities in Bangladesh and proposes recommendations to improve the situation. There is so much potential to utilize the existing masjids as a center for community development by extending the scope of activities with the participation of the community members. This study compiled and analyzed the opinions of previous researchers regarding this issue and formulated queries to conduct semi-structured interviews among selected respondents. Experts and professionals were interviewed to evaluate the current scenario regarding this topic and compile recommendations proposed by them. By analyzing the results through descriptive analysis, this study concluded that several factors are responsible for the idleness of masjids in Muslim communities. Inefficient management, absence of income-generating schemes, exclusion of certain social groups, and inadequate facilities are the significant factors identified by this study. Some minor factors were also identified, and recommendations were made based on all of these factors. It is highly recommended that these institutions be fully utilized to develop their surrounding communities. The findings are crucial to rethink the role of the institutions of masjid as a significant catalyst for community development in the Muslim communities in Bangladesh.
Design of Pedestrian Ways Based on Tourist Characteristics in the Religious Tourism Area of Menara Kudus
Authors: Rakhmatulloh Anita Ratnasari
Published: December 2024

Providing pedestrian pathways in tourist areas that align with the type of tourism and its typology is an effort to maximize the service for tourists. Tourists in religious areas have distinct characteristics, often arriving in groups. This study aims to analyze the design of pedestrian pathways based on the tourist typology of Menara Kudus Religious Tourism in order to facilitate circulation and support the mobility of visiting tourists. The research method to achieve this objective combines quantitative and qualitative methods, utilizing descriptive and cross-tabulation analysis techniques to determine the typology of tourists, the existing condition of pedestrian pathways, and the circulation of tourist patterns. This study shows that the existing condition of pedestrian pathways does not align with the typology of tourists due to narrow paths and the lack of differentiation between pedestrian pathways, motorcyclists, and street vendors. Additionally, the circulation patterns of tourists within the tourist area show that they enter and exit through the same pathways. These factors hinder the circulation and mobility of tourists during their visit. Therefore, the design of alternative pedestrian routes is recommended to address the hindrances to circulation and mobility and provide safe and comfortable pedestrian pathways for tourists.

Published: December 2024

Despite their non-mandatory attendance in the mosques, women have been significant users of mosques in Indonesia. They organize community programs, attend daily prayers, and participate in Islamic learning sessions (kajian). Masjid Al-Irsyad (built in 2009) in Kota Baru Parahyangan, Indonesia, is a popular venue for the kajian among women in the surrounding area. This article examines the design of Masjid Al-Irsyad, its flexible uses as a social space, the design based on gender analysis aspects, women’s preference for space, and the social interactions fostered and hampered by the spatial layout. Based on using data withdrawn from a survey of female mosque users and observations, this article finds that the open plan allows flexible use of space, which better accommodates women’s need for space in the mosque and encourages women’s active participation, and a more equal yet remains “Islamic” interaction in the mosque as an Islamic community center. It also blurs the gendered spatial boundary and hierarchy. The space of Masjid Al-Irsyad is a socio-spatial assemblage that opens a broader opportunity for equal gender relations in the mosque. However, the open plan also reduces women’s privacy, an essential spatial aspect.
Strategy For Developing The Image of the Panjunan Arab Village Area with Tradition Insights in Cirebon
Authors: Ciptandi Fajar , Sodik Jafar , Wirasari Ira
Published: December 2024

Panjunan Arab Village is a residential area located in Cirebon, West Java, Indonesia, with most of its inhabitants of Arab ethnicity. This ethnic group arrived in Indonesia and underwent various acculturation processes, giving rise to several unique mixed cultures. Previously, this area was known as the largest center for pottery craftsmanship in Cirebon. Although the traditional activity of pottery-making is no longer found today, several manifestations of tradition still characterize the acculturation with the Arab ethnicity, such as the Red Mosque of Panjunan, Middle Eastern cuisine, and Middle Eastern music. Simultaneously, the Local Government of Cirebon City, in collaboration with the Directorate General of Creative Works from the Ministry of Public Works and Housing, has a strategic plan to develop the Arab Village as a tourist area by exposing the distinctive features of the region through its traditions. The research was conducted by designing a framework model that synthesizes the strategies of Destination Branding combined with the concept of the Innovation Guiding Pyramid. Data collection was validated using data triangulation and analyzed by comparing the embodiment of culture in past and present conditions, PEST Analysis to determine the enduring values of tradition after undergoing interventions, SWOT Analysis to generate strategic ideas, and finally, hybridity analysis to create strategy points based on considerations of all previous analyses. This research yields strategic recommendations to develop an accurate image of the Panjunan Arab Village while still incorporating traditional elements as a strength of its identity and considering the intervening factors that influence it.

Authors: Dahmani Krimo , Aouissi Khalil Bachir , Chettah Saif Eddine
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the role of solar orientation in creating sustainable urban land systems in desert regions, using the Ksour of M'Zab in Algeria as a case study. The Ksour are vernacular Islamic and millenarian cities inhabited for centuries, and their urban design has evolved to respond to extreme climatic conditions, particularly insolation. Through a geometric analysis of the road system, this study demonstrates how the optimal orientation of urban lanes ensures the integration of extreme climatic conditions and creates comfortable streets for pedestrians. The study compares two old Ksour (El Atheuf and Beni Yezguen) with a new Ksar (Tafilalet) and statistically evaluates their solar orientation. The results show that solar orientation is a crucial tool for understanding the sustainability of desert cities. Thus, traditional knowledge and contemporary design practices can be integrated to create sustainable urbanism in arid environments. This study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on sustainable architecture by providing insights into how traditional knowledge can create resilient cities in challenging environments and promote sustainable development.

Geometric Models in Islamic Architecture from Early Islam to the end of the Ottoman Era: An Archaeological Study in Light of Selected Examples
Authors: Enab Mohamed Ahmed Abd Rahman
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT; this study aims to explore the history and evolution of geometric models in Islamic architecture up to the Ottoman era. It seeks to understand the emergence of these models and their uses in the Islamic era, analyzing the cultural, religious, and social factors that influenced their appearance and design. The study reveals the ingenuity of early Muslims in architectural engineering, as they not only depicted their architectural works in two-dimensional drawings but also created three-dimensional geometric models using precise engineering methods. This trend extended beyond Muslim architects to include foreign architects who admired and documented Islamic architecture with geometric models. The study investigates the significance, purposes, diverse forms, and materials used in the production of these models, emphasizing the cultural, artistic, and engineering dimensions of this heritage. Furthermore, it underscores the importance of preserving this heritage and deepening the understanding of its impact on the present. The researcher employs several research methods, including the historical-inductive approach by tracing references in historical sources, and the descriptive-analytical method for selected models remaining from these geometric models. Additionally, the study examines the technological development and innovation in the production of these models and their advanced uses in modern times through modern engineering software, known as three-dimensional modeling.

Published: December 2024

The Safavid era marked a pivotal period in the evolution of Islamic Architecture in Iran. During this time, architectural styles moved beyond mere physical structures to embody profound spiritual concepts. These buildings conveyed specific mystical ideas through encoded messages, often using numerical symbolism, all aimed at evoking a sense of eternity. This study seeks to compare the divine concepts found in Islamic cosmology with the numerical ratios used in the design of the Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque. Through a descriptive-analytical approach, the research examined library resources and conducted field research to understand how numerical patterns in the mosque's architecture relate to philosophical concepts in Islamic cosmology. The findings reveal a consistent use of numbers such as ‘8’ and ‘9’ in various aspects of the mosque's design. These represent of mystical ideas associated with the eighth and ninth heavenly spheres, known as Ālam al-Malakūt in Islamic cosmology.
Teaching at a Minimum: Exploring the Wellbeing of Filipino Tertiary Educators who Quiet Quit
Authors: Varias April Chanel Soriano , Conway Gail
Published: December 2024

The phenomenon of quiet quitting has gained traction in recent years across various professions, yet its impact on teachers remains underexplored particularly in the Philippines where teachers underpaid, unrecognized, and overworked. Therefore, this Generic Qualitative Inquiry study examined five male and female tertiary private school teachers who engage in quiet quitting behavior and how it impacts their well-being. Analyzed using VSAIEEDC model, emergent themes indicate that participants who quiet quit have grievances about school management, workload, and other people they encounter at school. Due to their perceptions of unfair treatment and excessive workload, participants quiet quit by sacrificing their teaching quality, meeting only the minimum requirements of their teaching position, retaliating against school injustice, and languishing at work. Quiet quitting leads to remorse and worries about teaching competency, which harms participants. Despite the negative impact of quiet quitting, participants express that it also reduces work stress. Maslach's Burnout, Self-determination, and Equity Theories explain findings. The paper also discusses teacher and school management implications and recommendations.

Authors: Mohamad Erihadiana  , Undang Syaripudin
Published: December 2024

This study examines the selection system for new student admissions at Islamic Religious Universities in Indonesia and its correlation with students' Grade Point Average (GPA) in UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung, UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya, UIN Walisongo Semarang. This research adopts a mixed-methods approach, integrating both quantitative and qualitative analyses. The quantitative analysis utilizes correlation techniques and descriptive statistics to examine relationships within the data. Meanwhile, the qualitative analysis employs content analysis of policies and documents, complemented by in-depth interviews with election officials and a comprehensive literature review, to investigate the transparency and efficiency of the selection system. Findings reveal no significant correlation between the specific admission pathway and the student's GPA. This suggests that the existing selection system is equally effective across different entry channels in predicting academic success as measured by GPA. The study underscores the importance of maintaining transparent, inclusive, and accountable admission processes, enhancing public trust in Islamic Religious Universities. The research contributes insights into optimizing student selection processes to align with educational goals and uphold academic standards.

Authors: Zhou Lixing , Wang Wenli
Published: December 2024

It is well know that non-premixed combustion is widely encountered in engine combustors. Presently Large-eddy simulation (LES) was used to study non-premixed combustion by many investigators using different combustion models. In this paper, the present authors used a second-order moment (SOM) combustion model for LES of propane-air swirling non-premixed combustion for the first time. The predicted time-averaged and RMS fluctuation velocities, time-averaged temperature and species concentration are in good agreement with experimental results, showing once again the feasibility of the SOM model. The instantaneous simulation results indicate the complex large-scale vortex structure and flame structure, different from those of the jet flame.

Authors: Gürler Hasan Emin
Published: December 2024

Amaç-Ülkelerin ve toplumların bağımsız ve etkin işleyişi için gereken en kıymetli stratejik kaynaklardan biri enerjidir. Uygarlıkların dinamik ilerleyişi, özellikle artan sanayileşmeyle birlikte ülkelerin ve toplumların enerjiye olan talepleri ve enerji tüketimleri sürekli artmıştır. Her sektörün ne kadar enerji tükettiğini bilmek, hükümetlerin kaynaklarını daha etkili bir şekilde dağıtmasına yardımcı olabilir. En fazla enerji tüketen sektörlerde, enerji verimliliğini ve sürdürülebilirliği teşvik eden altyapı, teknoloji ve politikalara yatırım yapmalarını sağlayarak öncelik vermek önemlidir. Bu çalışmada, CRITIC-CODAS entegre yaklaşımıyla G7 ülkelerini enerji tüketimlerine göre değerlendirmek ve ülkelerin enerji tüketimlerine neden olan sektörü belirlemek amaçlanmıştır.Yöntem-Ülkelerin enerji tüketimleri dokuz sektör odağında analiz edilmiş, kriter ağırlıkları CRITIC tekniği ile belirlenirken ülkeler enerji tüketimlerine göre CODAS yöntemiyle sıralanmıştır. Ayrıca, sıralama sonuçlarının tutarlılığını test etmek amacıyla CODAS tekniğinin sonuçları EDAS, SAW, MABAC ve TOPSIS yöntemlerinin sonuçlarıyla karşılaştırılmıştır. Bulgular-Sonuçlar, ağırlığı en yüksek olan endüstrinin %34,9 ile temel metal sanayi olduğunu buna karşılık, imalat sanayinin enerji tüketimi açısından en düşük ağırlığa sahip olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Bununla birlikte, CODAS yöntemi sonuçları İngiltere’nin G7ülkeleri arasında en düşük enerji tüketimini gerçekleştirdiğini, ABD’nin ise en yüksek enerji kullanımına sahip olduğunu göstermektedir.Tartışma–Sektöre özgü değerlendirmeler, ülke düzeyindeki sıralamalarla birleştiğinde, politika yapıcılara ve paydaşlara sürdürülebilir enerji kullanımı için hedeflenen stratejileri formüle etmeleri için değerli bilgiler sağlamaktadır.
