İslami Bağlılık ve İsraf Anlayışının Tüketici Davranışlarına Etkisi: Yozgat İli Örneği
Authors: Ünal Safa , Kara Mehmet
Published: December 2024

Tüketim, tarihin her döneminde kişilerin hayatlarında yer almıştır. İnsanların hayatlarını idame ettirebilmesinin basit bir yöntemi şeklinde tanımlanan tüketim, kişilerin ihtiyaçlarının karşılanması anlamıyla ortaya çıkmışsa da modern tüketim bu durumu farklı noktalara taşımıştır. Tüketim kültürünü, sürekli bir şekilde teşvik eden sistem, adeta tüketmeyi de tükettirmektedir. “Tüketici odaklı” olan modern tüketim kültüründe, kültürel değerler ve dini inanışlar, satın alma sürecinde bireylerin sahip olduğu tüketim yapılarına etki etmektedir. İslami bağlılık, kişilerin hayatlarının şekillenmesinde önemli bir yere sahiptir. Bu noktadan bakıldığında İslami bağlılığı olan tüketiciler üzerinde incelemeler yapılması oldukça önemli bir hal almıştır. İslam dininde aşırılık yerine kanaat etmek, şükretmek vardır. Tüketim ve İslami bağlılık kavramları anlamları açısından birbirlerine zıt kavramlardır. Ancak Muhafazakâr kesim olarak ifade edilen İslami bağlılığa sahip insanlar ile modern tüketim kültürü iç içe geçmiş bir haldedir. Helal sektöründe ilk akla gelen gıda ürünleri olsa da artık bu pazar gıda sektörünün çok daha ötesinde sağlık ürünleri, temizlik malzemeleri, kozmetik ürünler ve tıbbi cihazların yanında pazarlama, paketleme, lojistik, markalaşma, finans, turizm gibi hizmet sektörünü kapsayarak oldukça gelişme göstermiştir. Gerekenden fazla tüketim yapmak İslam dinine göre israftır ve uygun görülmemektedir. İslam dininde dikkat edilmesi gereken durum maksadına uygun tüketim yapmaktır. Günümüzde artarak devam eden tüketim anlayışı ile İslami bağlılık arasında zıtlık gün geçtikçe artmaktadır. Aşırı tüketen insan, asla tatmin olamayarak tüketimi daha çok arzulamaktadır. Oysa İslam dini her konuda neyin helal neyi haram olduğunu belirlemiş doğal kaynakların ne derecede tüketilmesi gerektiğinin yolunu çizmiştir. Yapılan bu çalışmada, Tüketim olgusuna etki eden dini değerler, bireyin tüketim kalıplarını ne yönde şekillendirirler sorusuna cevap aramaya çalışılmış, özellikle İslami bağlılık düzeyine göre tüketicilerin sahip oldukları demografik özellikler çerçevesinde nasıl davrandıklarını ortaya koymak amaçlamaktadır. İsraf anlayışının, tüketime etkisi ve doğal olarak ekonomiye etkisi ayrıca irdelenmektedir. Araştırma Yozgat ilinde seçilen örneklem üzerinden gerçekleştirilmiştir. Nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden, odak grup çalışmaları ile veriler elde edilip değerlendirmeler yapılmıştır.

Published: December 2024

The studied area is located in the east of Sana’a, Yemen, between latitudes 1700000 - 1720000 N and longitudes 430000 - 450000 E. Geological and aeromagnetic maps of the region (Sheet 13G, scaled at 1:250,000) are among the data used. By analyzing the available aeromagnetic data, the current work seeks to comprehend the regional subsurface structures and their contributions to surface geological formations. A number of analysis methods, such as regional/ residual separation, spectral analysis and Euler deconvolution have been used to critically interpret the aeromagnetic map. According to the findings, two tectonic events have primarily influenced the region throughout its geological past. The region’s tectonic framework Is largely determined by the tectonic activity of the late Precambrian (Najd Rift System, trending from NW to SE), which has experienced reactivation along with the opening of the Red Sea. Another more recent tectonic event (during the Cenozoic, trending from NE to SW) is linked to the emplacement of a trap volcanic chain and the opening of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. 2D spectrum analysis and 3D Euler deconvolution techniques were used to calculate the depth of the magnetic anomaly sources, which were determined to be between less than 250 and 3086 m.

Authors: Shahid Iqbal Khan  , Professor Dr. Asif Jamil
Published: December 2024

This research was conducted to assess the extrinsic sources, that affect students’ choices of subjects at the intermediate level regarding the jobs available, repertoire in the society, and further education opportunities. The study was undertaken among first year male and female students from the sciences and arts streams of public and private institutions in District Mianwali. Data was collected using the structured questionnaires and t-tests and Spearman’s rho correlation in the use of SPSS. The study found that extrinsic motivations played a major role in choosing subjects. The factors like, probability of having a job in the future, the need for a job according to the contemporary world, the advancement to the higher level of education, and media play instrumental role in making subject choices by the students. Nevertheless, factors like gender biases, merit limitations, career guidance and constraints of school environment also played a role. According to the findings, the external factors exert a significant influence of the academic options, underlining the need for further enhancement of career counselling, as well as comprehensive supportive measures on the level of the learning establishments and the government. The study was conducted only in district Mianwali of the Punjab province hence results could be applied with limited scope and could not be applied in other areas until in future, researchers repeat it in the other districts and provinces too. The study is an addition to the theory of learning and will be equally beneficial to the government functionaries of the education department in planning and management of the educational policies and strategies.

Published: December 2024

The global public health significance of the Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is substantial, with varying incidence rates observed in different geographic regions. This article provides a thorough epidemiological inquiry into the prevalence of Hepatitis C Virus infection and the factors that contribute to its occurrence among a population seeking medical treatment at DHQ Hospital in Dera Ismail Khan, Pakistan. A cross-sectional study methodology was employed to collect data from a representative sample of persons who were visiting the hospital. To determine the seroprevalence of Hepatitis C Virus Infection and collect data on possible risk factors, such as demographic features, medical history, and behavioral patterns, a combination of serological testing and structured interviews was utilized. The findings demonstrate a worrisome spreading of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection among the studied population, as seen by 23.4% of individuals testing positive for Hepatitis C viral antibodies. Moreover, our research has found several noteworthy risk factors, such as the use of injectable drugs, a history of smoking, the receipt of blood transfusions, and undergoing dental surgery, among others, that are correlated with an increased probability of contracting Hepatitis C virus infection. The findings offer significant contributions to the understanding of the epidemiological situation of the Hepatitis C Virus in Dera Ismail Khan. They emphasize the necessity of implementing focused prevention, screening, and intervention initiatives. Additionally, they underscore the need to target modifiable risk factors to mitigate the prevalence of HCV in this geographical area.

Published: December 2024

The lessons that management has learned from the Covid-19 calamity are still being revealed. The COVID-19 pandemic's impact on business resilience is still unfolding. This study explores how Karachi-based companies adapted using a qualitative approach. Semi-structured interviews with representatives from eleven diverse organizations revealed both internal and external transformations, encompassing strategic and operational changes. These adaptations demonstrate how businesses can build three-dimensional organizational resilience to navigate unforeseen disruptions. The objective of this study is to showcase the resilience mechanisms and tactics that Karachi-based companies have implemented in response to these changes. The researchers took an inductive stance. Semi-structured interviews were employed to gather data from a sample of eleven organizations spanning different industries, selected based on their potential for profit. The manual examination of the semi-formatted thematic content of the gathered data reveals that the COVID-19 epidemic has caused both internal and external change, with both an operational and a strategic component. Organizational change is a process of the organization adapting to changes in the external and internal environment as well as to a momentary state that is prevalent. This leads to the development of three-dimensional organizational resilience and/or the capture of positive externalities. It is a process by which the organization adjusts to changes in both the internal and external environments, as well as to the current situation. It is an evolution as opposed to a revolution. As far as limitations are concerned, it is based on interviews while future researchers are required to apply triangulation to get a better understanding and draw useful conclusions.

Authors: Riza Moch Dicky , Andayani Endah Alamsari
Published: December 2024

In education, teacher teaching style is vital in influencing students’ learning interests. Teaching style involves teachers’ approach and methods to deliver material, interact with students, and create a conducive classroom atmosphere. This study aims to analyze the types of teaching styles used in Indonesia and their impact on students’ learning interests so that teachers and school institutions can form effective and innovative learning based on the conditions faced in Indonesia. This study uses a qualitative approach with a literature review method. Secondary data from scientific journals, books, and relevant research articles were analyzed thematically. The study results indicate that teaching styles that actively involve students, such as interactive and differentiation, significantly impact learning interest. Students who feel involved tend to be more motivated because they have a role in learning. In contrast, conventional styles focusing on one-way lectures are less effective in increasing learning interest because they limit student interaction. This study recommends that teachers develop more collaborative and interactive methods and that educational institutions provide the necessary training so that they can apply various teaching styles that are more interesting and relevant to students’ needs.

The Role of Language in Shaping Cultural Identity: An Analysis of Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral
Authors: Merry Luz Molina , Meisur Meisur , Rizky Putri , Ayunda Rizka
Published: December 2024

This study explores the significance of language in creating cultural identity through an analysis of the recently-published Filipino classic Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral (2018), which shows General Gregorio del Pilar's actions during the Philippine-American War. In postcolonial contexts, language is a powerful tool for voicing dissent, negotiating power, and regaining cultural identities. The film's portrayal of language reflects the past battles of the Filipino people and serves as a symbol of resistance to colonial rule and national identity. Using Erving Goffman's book The Showing of Self in Everyday Life as a guide, this study explores communications as a performative strategy employed by characters to validate their sense of self in the socio-historical context of the Philippine Revolution. The study examines how Goyo's switch between Spanish and Filipino emphasizes resistance. This is self-determination, and cultural assertion throughout the war by fusing postcolonial theory, Bourdieu's idea of linguistic as a representation of power, and Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). This study also highlights how language serves as a means of cultural resistance in Filipino cinema, as linguistic decisions influence identity and pride in the country. By focusing on the relationship between language and individual identity in Goyo, the study enhances the role of language in resisting colonial structures. Although earlier research has addressed linguistic changes in historical films, much is known about how these choices impact Filipino audiences today including their perceptions of their nation. Through new perspectives on language as well as perspectives about how language in Goyo impacts contemporary views of Filipino identity on resistance to culture, this study aims to bridge this divide.

Nele há contornos para aquilo que interroga e igualmente seduz quando se deseja trabalhar com leitura, escrita e escuta de poesia na sala de aula, quando toma-se poesia como estratégia de ensino de língua portuguesa e literatura em contexto escolar. Este ensaio é uma tentativa de estabelecer ordem à parte importante do meu percurso enquanto pesquisador interessado pela função poética da linguagem (de modo geral) e pela poesia (em específico), também enquanto jovem professor da escola básica que, tendo como demanda de trabalho o ensino de língua portuguesa e literatura, encontra na poesia certa força catalisadora e potencial para a criação de territórios e agenciamentos férteis às palavras dos estudantes, suas leituras, seus jeitos de ser e estar na linguagem, seus jeitos de fazer trânsito diante dos outros e diante de si, territórios férteis ao estilo dos alunos diante da língua. Nesse ensaio, para dar forma ao trabalho que tenho realizado com poesia, principalmente mobilizo as seguintes ideias: poesia enquanto forma literária, desde Melissa Fornari e Diego Grando; a “função poética da linguagem” em Roman Jakobson (1976); noção de “experiência” desde Jorge Larrosa (2020); e “poética” desde Paul Valéry (2011).

Permeation through the blood-brain barrier is one issue that should be supplanted to develop novel drugs to treat brain disorders. Host-guest complexes involving cyclodextrins, cucurbiturils, and calixarenes are promissory structures to tackle this problem. This paper shows the desired properties of the inclusion complexes involving natural products and how they can be used to develop new treatments for brain disease.
From Strings to Loops: A Journey Through Modern Physics' Biggest Questions
Authors: Joseph Andrew Thomas
Published: December 2024

This article introduces post-quantum models–advanced theories that aim to bridge the gap between quantum mechanics and general relativity, two of physics' most groundbreaking yet unaligned frameworks. It explores key theories like string theory, which suggests that the universe's fundamental building blocks are vibrating strings, and loop quantum gravity, proposing that spacetime itself is made up of tiny, discrete loops. Additionally, non-linear quantum mechanics and the holographic principle are discussed, providing insights into the nature of black holes, dark matter, and the structure of spacetime at the quantum level. These theories not only offer potential solutions to the mysteries of the cosmos but also hold practical applications in fields like quantum computing and information theory. This article is an attempt to provide an accessible yet intellectually stimulating journey through some of the most cutting–edge ideas in modern physics, challenging readers to expand their understanding of the universe's fundamental nature.
DECOMPOSITION OF BICYCLIC GRAPHS INTO PATHS AND CYCLES SUBGRAPH FOR EASY OPTIMIZATION OF NETWORK CONFLICTS
Authors: Narayanan G Venkat , M Saravanan , C Sankar
Published: December 2024

Transport systems are crucial for connectivity and economic growth but face
challenges like traffic congestion, pollution, high maintenance costs, and
disruptions. A 2-simple graphoidal cover helps simplify these systems by dividing
them into smaller components for efficient rerouting, though it can be
computationally demanding in dense networks. Bicyclic graphs improve resilience
by providing redundancy and fault tolerance, ensuring smooth flow during
disruptions. When combined, these tools enhance efficiency, scalability, and
distributed management, supporting seamless expansion of transportation
networks. This paper examines the decomposition of three types of bicyclic graphs
using 2-simple graphoidal covers.

Authors: Ptiček Siročić Anita , Košćak Doroteja , Dogančić Dragana
Published: December 2024

The rapid growth of industrial, agricultural, and urban areas, along with rising living standards, invariably results in an increase in the amount of solid, liquid, and gaseous waste elements in water. Because of the variety of hazards that recreational waters pose to human health and well-being, a thorough evaluation of the sources and relative importance of the resulting health effects is necessary.  The testing of bathing water quality was conducted by determination of physical-chemical indicators at three locations in the lake Šoderica in Varaždin county. Lake Šoderica is an artificial lake formed by quarries and also used as a swimming area. The results demonstrated that the water was suitable for swimming and that all examined criteria agreed with the legislation. The results of the analyzed physical-chemical parameters show that the bathing water is satisfactory, but it is also necessary to determine the microbiological parameters.
Challenges Facing Artificial Intelligence in Human Resource Management: A Case Study of Al-Istiqlal University
Authors: Salman Afaf
Published: December 2024

This study aimed to identify the challenges associated with the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in human resource management. The problem arises from the fact that AI introduces a new reality that may lead to significant changes in the work environment, accompanied by numerous challenges and obstacles to its implementation in universities. To achieve the study’s objectives, the researcher employed interviews with a purposively selected sample of academics. The study follows a descriptive-analytical qualitative methodology. Key findings indicate that AI relies on training neural networks tailored to the specific environment in which it will be applied. Hence, experts in AI applications are required in human resources or computer centers, and AI must be designed and implemented based on the institution's standards rather than relying on external, incompatible models, a process that requires substantial expertise and effort. The researcher also identified several gaps, including differences in laws, regulations, and legislations used to train AI systems, disparities in employee capabilities at different levels, a lack of training programs and AI specialists, and insufficient budgets to support such applications. The originality of the study lies in addressing a contemporary challenge—applying AI in human resource management within universities—while focusing on practical gaps such as legal disparities, employee capabilities, shortages of specialists, and financial resources. The study adds value by emphasizing the need for AI applications to be customized according to institutional standards to enhance their effectiveness and sustainability.

El proceso educativo ha experimentado una transformación significativa con la digitalización y el avance de las tecnologías de información y comunicación, impulsado principalmente por el internet. Este cambio ha motivado al sistema educativo a crear herramientas didácticas alternativas que aprovechen estas tecnologías para enriquecer la enseñanza. Las tecnologías inmersivas y los laboratorios remotos, ya sea combinados o por separado, han demostrado ser efectivos para aumentar el interés y la motivación de los estudiantes en la adquisición de conocimientos avanzados. Se sugiere desarrollar una infraestructura de laboratorio remoto con tecnologías inmersivas para que los estudiantes aprendan sobre diseño de sistemas digitales y circuitos integrados específicos. Además, se busca evaluar cómo esta infraestructura afecta el desarrollo de habilidades y la motivación de los estudiantes, quienes se beneficiarán de la experiencia inmersiva del laboratorio. La infraestructura propuesta incluirá experimentos remotos que cubren áreas como procesamiento digital de señales y diseño de sistemas y circuitos integrados, utilizando un FPGA, periféricos, cámaras, realidad virtual y un servidor para la interconexión. Los estudiantes podrán interactuar con estos elementos de manera inmersiva en un entorno educativo. Se evaluará la eficacia del aprendizaje y la generación de conocimiento mediante la capacidad de inmersión, interacción y motivación proporcionada por el laboratorio remoto. El modelo de aceptación de tecnología medirá la intención de uso, mientras que el modelo de atención, relevancia, confianza y satisfacción evaluará la motivación de los estudiantes en un entorno de aprendizaje remoto. Las pruebas con equipos de realidad aumentada y simulaciones inmersivas servirán para examinar las condiciones de inmersión. Estos modelos ayudarán a validar la infraestructura como una herramienta educativa efectiva.
