Competency Development of Cross Border Transportation: A Case of Nong Khai Border
Authors: Ayuthaya Varangkoon Issaragura Na , Singhdong Putthiwat , Weerapong Prin
Published: November 2024

Objectives: This research focuses on enhancing cross-border trade between Thailand and Lao PDR, specifically emphasizing Nong Khai Province—a crucial border region for economic connectivity and trade along the Mekong River. Nong Khai’s strategic location, near the Lao capital Vientiane and its role as a central hub in the North-South Economic Corridor (NSEC) and Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), contributes significantly to regional trade and investment cooperation.
 
Theoretical framework: The study develops a prototype intelligent cross-border freight vehicle management system to address existing transportation challenges. The system utilizes RFID sensor technology integrated into a mobile application for real-time tracking and status notification of freight vehicles.
 
Methods: Data was collected through surveys with a sample of 400 logistics operators involved in transportation and distribution.
 
Results and Discussion: The study’s structural equation model, which evaluates factors influencing cross-border transportation efficiency at the Nong Khai checkpoint, demonstrated a strong fit with empirical data. The model fit indicators were statistically significant (Chi-Square = 20.024, df = 21, Sig. = 0.520, CMIN/df = 0.954, CFI = 1.00, NFI = 0.997, GFI = 0.992, AGFI = 0.967, IFI = 1.00, RMSEA = 0.00, RMR = 0.08), confirming that the model meets specified criteria.
 
Research Implications: Findings suggest that the intelligent transport system prototype could substantially improve process control and operational efficiency, supporting the expansion of border trade in Nong Khai and contributing to economic growth in the region.
 
Originality/Value:  To enhance the safety and efficiency of logistics operations at a low cost.
Development of a Halal-Labelled Vaccine Purchasing Behavior Model: A Study on the Halal Lifestyle of Muslim Consumers and Sustainable Development Goals (Sdgs) in Indonesia
Authors: Nugroho Arif Julianto Sri , Santoso Gunawan Budi , Herawati Nanik
Published: November 2024

Objective: This study tested the dependent variable of halal-labelled vaccine purchasing behavior influenced by three independent variables, namely vaccine efficacy beliefs, knowledge of halal vaccines and halal labelling through one moderating variable of religiosity.
Theoretical Framework: This research develops the Grand-Theory Planned Behavior model by modifying the attitude variable and adding the moderating variable of religiosity.
 
Method: Quantitative survey research design. The sampling technique was carried out by purposive sampling. Respondents were taken as a sample of adult consumers who had consumed the halal-labelled Flu-Bio, CoronaVac and Vac2Bio vaccines in the Soloraya area, totaling 200 respondents. Quantitative model testing was carried out using the Structural Equation Model. The model testing stages include the validity and reliability tests of indicators, descriptive tests of respondents, inferential statistical tests, classical assumption tests and tests of multi-group moderator variables. Testing the moderating variables used the statistical program tool of AMOS 21 software
 
Results and Discussion: It was found that there was a direct influence of vaccine efficacy beliefs, knowledge of halal vaccines and halal label on purchasing behavior. The  moderating variable test of perceived religiosity was unable to strengthen the antecedents of purchasing behavior
 
Research Implications: It is hoped that this research will be able to increase the positive attitude of the Indonesian people towards the status of halal-labelled vaccines. Strengthening the status and lifestyle of consuming halal-labelled vaccines can improve the quality of Indonesian people's health status towards Indonesia's Golden Generation 2045 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
 
Originality/Value: This research has the urgency of being able to provide answers for academics and marketers of halal-labelled products in developing a consumer behavior model for the halal community lifestyle in Indonesia. This research can be used as a marketing strategy to reduce the doubts of the Muslim community in Indonesia regarding the halalness of vaccines.

İŞ HAYATINDA KADINLARIN KARŞILAŞTIĞI KARİYER SORUNLARI
Authors: Aydoğan Arife
Published: November 2024

Günümüzde iş hayatında kadınların varlığı giderek artmakta olsa da, kariyer yolunda karşılaştıkları zorluklar hala önemli bir sorun olmaya devam etmektedir. Kadınlar, profesyonel dünyada eşit fırsatlara sahip olma mücadelesi verirken, cinsiyet ayrımcılığı, cam tavan sendromu, iş-yaşam dengesi problemleri ve ailevi sorumluluklar gibi çeşitli engellerle karşı karşıya kalmaktadır. Bu sorunlar, kadınların kariyer gelişimlerini yavaşlatmakta ve potansiyellerini tam anlamıyla gerçekleştirmelerini engellemektedir. Toplumsal cinsiyet rolleri ve önyargılar, kadınların profesyonel yaşamlarını şekillendiren ve sınırlayan önemli faktörlerdir. Geleneksel cinsiyet rolleri, kadınların iş dünyasında karşılaştıkları ayrımcılığı ve engelleri pekiştirmekte ve bu durum, kadınların kariyerlerinde ilerlemelerini zorlaştırmaktadır. İş-yaşam dengesi konusundaki zorluklar ise kadınların hem profesyonel hem de kişisel yaşamlarını dengeleme çabalarını daha da karmaşık hale getirmektedir. Bu çalışma, iş hayatında kadınların karşılaştığı kariyer sorunlarını derinlemesine inceleyerek, bu zorlukların nedenlerini ve sonuçlarını analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Ayrıca, kadınların bu engelleri aşarak kariyerlerinde nasıl ilerleyebileceklerine dair stratejiler ve öneriler sunulacaktır. Bu bağlamda, toplumsal ve kurumsal değişimlerin gerekliliği vurgulanarak, kadınların iş dünyasında daha eşit ve adil bir şekilde yer alabilmesi için yapılması gerekenlere dikkat çekilecektir.

Ders kitapları; öğrencilerin sınava ve derse hazırlanmalarına, öğretmenlerin ise dersi planlı ve programlı işlemelerine katkı sağlar. İnternet teknolojisi sayesinde bilgiye ulaşmanın her gün daha da kolaylaştığı dünyamızda ders kitapları doğru ve güvenilir bilgiye ulaşma noktasında önemli bir öğretim materyali olma özelliğini kaybetmemiştir. Öğrenci merkezli eğitimin öne çıktığı günümüzde öğretmenler ve öğrenciler ders kitaplarından yararlanmalı ancak bilginin çeşitlenmesi ve güncelliği noktasında internet vb. kaynakları da kullanmalıdır. Ders kitaplarından istenilen verimin elde edilebilmesi için boyutlarının eğitim-öğretim açısından uygun şekilde hazırlanması gerekir. Bu boyutlardan biri de ünite sonu ölçme ve değerlendirme bölümüdür. Bu çalışmada; ortaokul 5. sınıf sosyal bilgiler ders kitabının ünite sonu ölçme ve değerlendirme bölümü, öğretmen görüşleri doğrultusunda değerlendirmeye çalışılmıştır. Araştırma, olgu bilim deseninin kullanıldığı nitel bir araştırmadır. Çalışma grubunu, Samsun İli; Canik, İlkadım ilçelerinde devlet ortaokullarında görev yapan 14 5. sınıf sosyal bilgiler dersi öğretmeni oluşturmaktadır. Bu öğretmenlerden veri toplamak amacı ile görüşme tekniği kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre öğretmenlerin büyük bir bölümü ölçme değerlendirme sorularının öğrencilerin zihinsel gelişim düzeylerine uygun olduğu görüşündedir.

Yine öğretmen görüşlerinden hareketle; balık kılçığı, bulmaca, resim eşleştirme, kavram haritası gibi görsel öğelere daha fazla yer veren sorular artırılabilir.
U POTRAZI ZA NADILAŽENJEM „ZAMRZNUTA KONFLIKTA“ U BOSNI I HERCEGOVINI
Authors: Lasić Mile
Published: November 2024

Potraga za optimalnim modelom integracije u višenacionalnoj, međunarodno priznatoj i unutarnje nepriznatoj zemlji kakva je Bosna i Hercegovina, zemlji nezavršena rata i zamrznuta konflikta, osuđena je na propast ako se oslanja na vrijednosti stare paradigme (politiku bez načela, golog ili pravno-političkog nasilja, politiku ništenja identiteta, i sl.). Uslijed toga opravdano je, koliko god to na prvi pogled izgledalo presmiono, u potrazi za optimalnim modelom integracije uključiti vrijednosti i mogućnosti nove paradigme (promjenu u mentalitetu i mišljenju, kulturu nenasilja i uvažavanja sviju identiteta, uključivo danas nepriznatih, poštivanje i individualnih ljudskih prava i prava skupnih etničkih i nacionalnih subjektiviteta). Uz ove vrijednosti bilo bi moguće osmisliti model reintegracije rascijepljena bosanskohercegovačkoga društva i revitalizacije sada nefunkcionalne, i u krajnjem (ne)postojeće države. Riječ je o priznanju nužnosti konsensnih formi političke kulture, koje podrazumijevaju volju relevantnih političkih subjekata da u procesu organizacije (i odlučivanja) u višenacionalnoj zemlji kakva je BiH primijene sve demokratske metode upravljanja razlikama i konfliktima. U tu se svrhu u radu propituju i domoderni (primordijalni i perenijalni) pristupi fenomenima nacija i nacionalizam dominantnih akademskih i političkih narativa te kvazimoderni pristupi koji niječu višenacionalnost BiH ili je svode na njezinu višeetničnost. U konačnici, u radu se odgovara na pitanje zašto se u BiH proizvode „spinovi“ umjesto povoljnih ambijenata za unutarnju integraciju i za kretanje u smjeru Europske unije. Propitivanjem o hrvatskome pitanju želi se, pak, ukazati i na njegovu specifičnost - za malo veću otvorenost, kako bi se došlo do prihvatljivih rješenja i za druga nacionalna pitanja i za državno pitanje BiH, pa tim putem i za BiH unutar Europske unije, to jest europske obitelji naroda i država koju ona tvori. Analizom i argumentima u radu se sugerira, dakle, nužnost izmjene kulturološke i političke paradigme kao ključne pretpostavke za europeizaciju domaćih politika i ambijenata bez čega nema uljuđene budućnosti u BiH i za Bosnu i Hercegovinu...

KULTURNO-IDENTITETSKE ODREDNICE BOSANSKOHERCEGOVAČKOG DRUŠTVENOG KONTEKSTA
Authors: Kovačević Vlaho
Published: November 2024

Ovaj se rad bavi važnom temom odnosa između nacionalnoga i religijskoga u Bosni i Hercegovini i procesima nacionaliziranja i politiziranja religije u aktualnim procesima globalizacije. U ovom se radu posebno usmjeravamo na razumijevanje ideologije nacije, koja svijet tumači prema etničkom ključu, i procesa politiziranja religije kao i religizaciju političkoga. Pozivajući se na američkoga sociologa Manuela Castellsa, upozoravamo da nove globalizirajuće mreže „osnažuju prethodne društvene obrasce“, koje su i te kako vezane uz nacionalne i konfesionalne sadržaje.
U radu polazimo od teze da iznalaženje novih modela društvene komunikacije bosanskohercegovačkoga društva ne može biti pokušaj ponovna uspostavljanja nadzora nad životom i zemljom, kako u ideologiji nacionalizma tako i u ideologiji potrošačke kulture, stilova života i hibridno-transnacionalnih kultura promjenjivih identiteta. Poticaje za kulturno-identitetske odrednice odnosa između nacionalnog i religijskog u bosanskohercegovačkom društvenom kontekstu pronašli smo u jednome od najznačajnijih sociologa religije južnoslavenskog podneblja Esadu Ćimiću.
Pritom je u ovom radu afirmirana čovjekova dimenzija otvorenosti između odnosa nacionalnoga i religijskoga u Bosni i Hercegovini razvijajući osnovnu razinu uljudbe koja je u stanju prihvatiti, opravdati i provoditi u djelo stajališta koja proizlaze kao plod duhovne, intelektualne i ćudoredne baštine, koja je više „duhovna“, slobodna, a manje uvjetovana ideološkim konceptom suvremenoga društva. Razumijevanje baštine bosanskohercegovačkoga društva, kao povijesno živog dijela povijesti, most je između prošlosti i budućnosti i znak održanog socijalnog i duhovnog kontinuiteta. Bez nje bismo bili u situaciji „stalnog vraćanja istog“ što u sebi ima i negativne posljedice na čovjekov život u vidu suvremenih modernih ideologija.

Geocrítica i maternitat: arquitectura distòpica en Mater (2022) i The Pod Generation (2023)
Authors: Nastasescu Diana
Published: November 2024

A partir de Mater (2022) i The Pod Generation (2023), el present article explora els espais arquitectònics de la maternitat en futurs distòpics. Utilitzant la metodologia geocrítica de Bertrand Westphal, s’analitzen les tensions entre la modernització tecnològica i la connexió amb la natura. En ambdues obres la maternitat és externalitzada, desvinculada del cos de les dones, en altres paraules, desmaterialitzada. Aquestes narracions de ciència-ficció condemnen les dinàmiques socials i arquitectòniques que prioritzen l’eficiència i el control per sobre de la humanitat i la sostenibilitat, i conviden a la reconsideració de la relació amb l’espai, la tecnologia i la natura.
Cinc consideracions sobre la ciutat imperfecta. El cas de València
Authors: Iborra Posadas Joaquim
Published: November 2024

El present manuscrit versa sobre el «futur imperfecte» com a reacció contra el moviment modern, que va creure en les utopies. La crítica del moviment modern arquitectònic i urbanístic va ser, a partir d’un determinat moment, necessària i justa, però no ha aconseguit articular-se d’una manera coherent. Ha posat en circulació conceptes amb un fonament precari, alhora que tergiversa alguns dels tradicionals, presentant-ne una imatge devaluada. Entre els primers, hi ha la idea del «verd urbà» i de la «naturalització» o «renaturalització» de la ciutat. Entre els segons, la idea que es té d’alguns espais urbans tradicionals com la «plaça». Uns i altres entren en contradicció amb la noció de ciutat en general i amb l’evolució de la ciutat moderna en particular. La pràctica del «disseny», entès com a imposició d’un repertori de recursos escenogràfics —en definitiva, heretats del moviment modern—, sembla ser el refugi d’aquestes incomprensions i contradiccions. Totes aquestes idees s’il·lustren amb exemples que prenen fonamentalment la ciutat de València com a cas d’estudi.
Villanueva lecorbusieriano: del racionalismo estructural a las Boîtes à miracles vénézuéliennes
Authors: Chávez Herrera Moisés
Published: November 2024

Este texto desarrolla el estudio y análisis detallado del conjunto de referencias y relaciones entre el arquitecto Carlos Raúl Villanueva y Le Corbusier, con quien el venezolano mantuvo un nexo personal desde sus años de formación en la École des Beaux-Arts de París durante la década de los veinte, en paralelo con la etapa purista, y después de la cual se prolonga y refuerza este vínculo, especialmente en la década de los cincuenta y sesenta, hasta los últimos trabajos de Villanueva en los setenta, cuando la noción del Espace indicible, la Boîte à miracles y las exploraciones sobre la síntesis artística de Le Corbusier –así como ciertas ideas rescatadas de sus primeras propuestas-, inciden y potencian la arquitectura contemporánea de Villanueva. Partiendo del análisis arquitectónico y documental de los proyectos y realizaciones del arquitecto venezolano, junto al contraste con bibliografía específica y distintos testimonios personales, se examina su obra integral en base a las conexiones con los conceptos y desarrollos de Le Corbusier, descubriendo, lejos de una aplicación dogmática y literal, el enriquecedor proceso interpretativo, sensible y personal de Villanueva sobre la filosofía y las convenciones proyectuales lecorbusierianas.
As tutelas individuais dos direitos da personalidade e a eficácia do Marco Legal do Saneamento Básico
Authors: Silvestre Gilberto Fachetti , Emerique Lilian Márcia Balmant
Published: November 2024

O contexto deste artigo refere-se à falta ou à insuficiência de saneamento básico para grupos de brasileiros, o que coloca em risco não somente o bem-estar das pessoas, mas, principalmente sua saúde e sua integridade somática. Nesse sentido, a pesquisa teve como objetivo geral apresentar outras possibilidades de tutela processual para promover a eficácia do marco legal do saneamento básico, para garanti-lo àqueles que estão desassistidos. A investigação foi baseada em procedimentos metodológicos bibliográficos e documentais, com a análise de artigos e livros publicados, coleta de dados e análise da legislação, e com base em uma abordagem qualitativa. Como resultado, a pesquisa encontrou instrumentos característicos de tutela individual cabíveis para a garantia do direito ao saneamento básico. A partir disso, foi possível confirmar que o saneamento básico é direito da personalidade, o que permite a aplicação de mecanismos processuais, inspirados no Código Civil e Código de Processo Civil, mais eficientes em relação à garantia do saneamento básico para as pessoas desassistidas. O estudo conclui, propositivamente, com a defesa da existência de mecanismos de tutela individual do direito ao saneamento básico, demonstrando a viabilidade dessa proposta com base em dados publicados pelo Conselho Nacional de Justiça reveladores da necessidade e possibilidade de diminuição ou retirada da dependência das pessoas desatendidas em relação a ações coletivas para a eficácia do direito ao saneamento básico.

Published: November 2024

Buscou-se compreender, neste artigo, como ocorreu o processo de implementação das medidas emergenciais determinadas para o período pandêmico, considerando-se o desenho federativo do Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar (PNAE) à luz da perspectiva da burocracia estadual. Trata-se de um estudo de caso no governo do Rio Grande do Norte. Para coleta de dados, utilizaram-se técnicas de grupo focal e questionários com 55 atores distribuídos nos diferentes níveis de implementação da política. A configuração do Programa resulta em dois níveis de burocracia no ente estadual: Burocratas de Médio Escalão (BME) e Burocratas de Nível de Rua (BNR). Identificaram-se quatro categorias analíticas evidenciando conjuntos de estratégias utilizadas pelos implementadores locais: 1) critérios de elegibilidade dos beneficiários; 2) centralização do processo de compras; 3) manutenção das compras da agricultura familiar e 4) critérios de armazenamento, comunicação e entrega dos kits. A emergência de respostas exigidas pela pandemia da Covid-19 e as regras pouco claras do desenho do PNAE no contexto emergencial, formuladas em nível federal, aumentaram a discricionariedade diante da incerteza enfrentada pelos BNR e dificultaram a coordenação pelos BME.

THE EFFECT OF CONCOMITANT VITAMIN B12 AND FERRITIN DEFICIENCY ON CERTAIN RED BLOOD CELL PARAMETERS IN END-STAGE RENAL DISEASE PATIENTS UNDERGOING REGULAR HEMODIALYSIS
Authors: Nguyen Nhu Nghia , Pham Thi Lan Phuong , Tran Thai Thanh Tam , Tran Cong Dang , Nguyen Thi Diem Thuy , Nguyen The Bao
Published: November 2024

Introduction: Identifying and treating comorbid causes of anemia in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing regular dialysis plays a crucial role. However, the overlap of vitamin B12 deficiency and ferritin deficiency in this population makes the evaluation of red blood cell parameters complex. Objects: Evaluate the characteristics of parameters related to red blood cell size, blood ferritin levels, and vitamin B12 levels, as well as the correlation between these parameters. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study with analysis was conducted on 135 patients diagnosed with end-stage renal disease undergoing regular dialysis at Bac Lieu General Hospital from May 2023 to May 2024. Results: The average age of the study subjects was 49.6 ± 14.8 years, with a male/female ratio of approximately 1/1. The anemia rate was 97.0%, with the majority being moderate anemia (60.0%). Microcytic red blood cells predominated (89.6%), and the hypochromic rate was 20.7%. The median blood ferritin level (Q1-Q3) was 499.3 (310.0-774.9) ng/mL, with a ferritin deficiency rate of 23.2%. The median blood vitamin B12 level (Q1-Q3) was 566.0 (290.0-818.0) pg/mL, with a vitamin B12 deficiency rate of 30.4%. There was a positive correlation between ferritin and MCV in the ferritin-deficient group (r=0.359, p=0.044). In the normal vitamin B12 group, red blood cells in the ferritin-deficient group were smaller (MCV: 87.27 ± 5.28 vs. 90.52 ± 6.1; p=0.017) and more hypochromic (median MCH: 27.9 vs. 29.45; p=0.003) compared to the normal ferritin group. Conversely, there was no difference in MCV and MCH in the vitamin B12 deficient group regardless of ferritin levels (p > 0.05). Conclusion: In ESRD patients undergoing regular dialysis, those with isolated ferritin deficiency had smaller, more hypochromic red blood cells compared to those without ferritin deficiency. However, if there is concurrent vitamin B12 deficiency, red blood cells may become normochromic and normocytic regardless of ferritin status.

Authors: Le Thi Thao Hien , Lam Hoai Phuong , Le Thi Kim Phung
Published: November 2024

Background: Assessment of quality of nursing care and patient satisfaction is limited, lacking appropriate assessment tools and patient-centered care programs that prioritize dedication in care. This study aimed to address this gap by exploring factors associated with patient satisfaction with quality of nursing care and compassionate care. Objectives: This study investigated the relationship between quality of nursing care, compassionate care, and patient satisfaction. It identifies key factors that contribute to patient satisfaction, allowing nursing managers to develop a targeted model that enhances the quality of care and improves the patient experience. Research Subjects: The study involved 266 patients hospitalized for a minimum of 72 hours at hospital in Vietnam, selected from the General Internal Medicine and General Surgery departments. Research Results: Overall patient satisfaction ratings for nursing care, quality of nursing care, and compassionate care were positive, with mean scores of 3.54 ± 0.69, 3.46 ± 0.86, and 3.54 ± 0.67, respectively. A strong positive correlation was found between patient satisfaction and both the quality of nursing care (r=0.845) and compassionate care (r=0.777). The analysis shows that 72.9% of the variation in patient satisfaction can be explained by factors of quality of care such as Medical-technical competence, Identity-oriented approach, Physical-technical conditions. Compassionate care explained 61.7% of the variance in satisfaction, with meaningful connections between Patient expectation and Capable practitioner being key factors. Mediation analysis showed that quality of nursing care had a significant indirect effect on patient satisfaction through compassionate care. Conclusion: Research highlights the importance of maintaining quality of nursing care and incorporating compassionate care attributes to enhance patient satisfaction. Healthcare organizations should focus on  improvement quality of nursing care and foster a culture of compassionate care to optimize patient experiences and outcomes.
ENHANCING PRENATAL DIAGNOSTIC YIELD OF CHROMOSOMAL ABNORMALITIES BY COMBINED IMPLEMENTATION OF ARRAY-CGH AND TRADITIONAL KARYOTYPING AT HANOI OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY HOSPITAL
Authors: Vuong Thang Toan , Dinh Linh Thuy , Nguyen Anh Duy
Published: November 2024

Background: While karyotyping remains the gold standard for prenatal diagnosis of chromosomal abnormalities, it is limited to detecting alterations larger than 5 Mb (over 5 million base pairs). In contrast, array CGH (Microarray-based Comparative Genomic Hybridization) provides a comprehensive analysis of all 24 chromosomes, enabling the detection of chromosomal imbalances, including aneuploidy, losses, and duplications. Additionally, array CGH can identify chromosomal abnormalities even in the absence of specific diagnostic indications. Aim: This study aims to assess the prevalence of chromosomal abnormalities using the array CGH technique in comparison with karyotyping at Hanoi Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital. Methods: A total of 399 pregnant women with a gestational age of 17 to 28 weeks underwent amniocentesis at Hanoi Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital 2020 and 2022. Amniotic fluid samples were simultaneously analyzed using both array CGH and karyotyping techniques. Results: The karyotyping method identified chromosomal abnormalities in 63 out of 399 cases (15.79%), while array CGH detected abnormalities in 98 out of 399 cases (24.56%). Both techniques identified 49 cases of aneuploidy. For larger deletions and duplications, array CGH detected 14 cases compared to 8 identified by karyotyping. In contrast, array CGH identified 16 cases of small deletions and duplications, whereas karyotyping identified only 1 case. Conclusion: Array CGH is a highly accurate diagnostic tool that effectively detects structural chromosomal abnormalities, particularly small deletions and duplications, which may be missed by karyotyping techniques. This underscores the importance of integrating array CGH into prenatal diagnostic protocols for enhanced detection of chromosomal abnormalities.

The limitations of traditional education models and the advancement of technology have revealed the need to transform the learning experience. The “Flipped Learning” approach, born out of this need, is a model where students study learning materials in advance and participate in more interactive and hands-on activities in the classroom. This research discusses how the Flipped Learning model can be combined with ChatGPT. ChatGPT is a language model developed by OpenAI, and it can interact with students thanks to its natural language processing capability. In this way, combined with the Flipped Learning model, it can provide students with a more individualized and interactive learning experience. From this viewpoint, in this research, a model called “ChatGPT Aided Flipped Learning Model (CAFLM)” has been developed, which enables ChatGPT to be used in the “Flipped Learning” learning environment. CAFLM has three main phases: 1) Preparation, 2) Outside classroom teaching, and 3) inside classroom teaching. At these phases, the tasks of the student and the teacher are explained in detail. Sample activities and use cases are provided on how ChatGPT can be integrated into the Flipped Learning model and help students. To experience the model, activities developed for mathematics and science lessons were carried out using ChatGPT. Preliminary results have shown that the Flipped Learning model can be combined with Chatbots such as ChatGPT to provide students with a more effective and personalized learning experience.

This study explores the relationship between social media addiction, mental well-being, and emotional states among Early Childhood Education (ECE) candidates. Utilizing a sample of 330 ECE students from Düzce University and Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat University, the research employed the Social Media Addiction Scale-Adult Form, Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), and Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMWBS) to gather data. Findings revealed that ECE candidates exhibited moderate levels of social media addiction, with significant age and daily internet usage time as predictors, while gender was not a significant factor. Despite moderate addiction levels, participants reported above-average mental well-being, potentially attributed to positive digital engagement. The study also found significant correlations between social media addiction and negative affect, as well as a negative relationship with mental well-being and positive affect. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions focusing on healthy digital engagement and emotional resilience, particularly for younger candidates and those heavily engaged online. The study's implications underscore the critical role of ECE candidates in modeling balanced digital behaviors to future generations, emphasizing the integration of digital literacy and emotional intelligence in educational curricula.

Abstract. The production mechanism of atmospheric nitrous acid (HONO), an important precursor of the hydroxyl radical (OH), remains controversial. Few studies have explored the effects of particulate nitrate photolysis on HONO sources under different environment conditions across China. In this work, the photolysis rate constant of particulate nitrate for HONO production (JNO3--HONO) was determined through a photochemical reaction system with PM2.5 samples collected from five representative sites in China. We developed a method to correct and quantify the “shadowing effect” – potential light extinction within aerosol layers under heavy PM2.5 loading conditions on the filters – for JNO3--HONO measurements, showing that elemental carbon (EC), the dominant light-absorbing component in PM2.5, plays a dominant role in it. The corrected JNO3--HONO values varied with the sampling period and location over a wide range, from 1.6 × 10−6 to 1.96 × 10−4 s−1, with a mean (±1 SD) of 1.71 (± 2.36) × 10−5 s−1. Chemical compositions, specifically those concerning nitrate loading and organic components, affected the production of HONO through particulate nitrate photolysis: high JNO3--HONO values were generally associated with PM2.5 samples with a high organic carbon (OC) / NO3- ratio (R2 = 0.86). We suggest that the parameterization equation between JNO3--HONO and the OC / NO3- ratio established in this work can be used to estimate JNO3--HONO under different aerosol chemical conditions, thus reducing the uncertainty in exploring daytime HONO sources. This study confirms that the photolysis of particulate nitrate can be a potential daytime HONO source in rural or southern urban sites, which are characterized by PM2.5 containing high proportions of organic matter.

Abstract. This work concerns analysis of turbulence in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) shortly before and after sunset. Based on a large set of Doppler lidar measurements at rural and urban sites, we analyze frequency spectra of vertical wind at different heights and show that they increasingly deviate from Kolmogorov's -5/3 prediction in the measured low-wavenumber part of the inertial range. We find that before sunset, the integral length scales tend to decrease with time. These findings contrast with a classical model of equilibrium decay of isotropic turbulence, which predicts that the scaling exponent should remain constant and equal to -5/3 and the integral length scale should increase in time. We explain the observations using recent theories of non-equilibrium turbulence. The presence of non-equilibrium suggests that classical parametrization schemes fail to predict turbulence statistics shortly before sunset. By comparing the classical and the non-equilibrium models, we conclude that the former may underestimate the dissipation rate of turbulence kinetic energy in the initial stages of decay.
