Authors: Santos Rayane Teixeira de Lira Dos , Figueiredo Fábio fonseca
Published: December 2022

O artigo apresenta os Jogos Escolares do Rio Grande do Norte (JERN’s) tentando compreender se os objetivos de esporte educacional se efetivam na prática. Foram entrevistados quatro professores da rede estadual e um representante de um órgão da administração pública que realiza os jogos. Embora os JERN’s sejam pensados para atender os princípios do esporte educacional, há um direcionamento dos jogos para o esporte de alto rendimento. Os princípios do esporte para a formação do cidadão crítico e reflexivo são distorcidos por valores como competição, rivalidade e treinamento, característicos do esporte de competição. O estado deve promover sua política de esporte educacional envolvendo todos os sujeitos do ambiente escolar visando tornar os JERN’s, efetivamente, em jogos escolares.
Dispute resolution methods adopted by contractors during COVID-19 in Eastern Cape South Africa: A Case Study
Authors: Amoo Oseni , Lukman Yusuf , Musa Nafiu
Published: December 2022

Over the past months, the socioeconomic consequences of the ravaging COVID-19 pandemic reverberated through and affected all segments of life. The construction industry is not left out. The severe impacts of COVID-19 have not only witnessed tragic human losses but have also caused colossal devastating implications for construction procurement and general contract condition. The study examined the dispute resolution methods adopted by contractors in Eastern Cape, South Africa, during the COVID-19 experience to determine their appropriateness and effectiveness. The study employed a snowballing, purposive, non-probability sampling technique with a mixed research design driven by respondents' participatory action. Twelve senior personnel were interviewed, while questionnaires were administered to 30 referred employees on the sites. XLSTAT statistical software and thematic analysis were used for the aggregated questionnaire and qualitative respondents' interviews in drawing inferences. The results revealed that an interest-based rather than a right-based approach are two sides of a coin that can make or mar the wheel of progress in arriving at an amicable agreement to contract terms in construction. The need for re-negotiation in billing, which is at variance with the various construction claim, cannot be over-emphasised. At the same time, the intuitive assertions of negotiation, mediation, and conciliation were used in resolving unforeseen delays, claims, and added costs due to disruptions of COVID-19. The study's main contribution lies in mastering and deploying appropriate dispute resolution methods in project execution. The study is of utmost importance in planning, restoring, and deriving optimal societal benefits from conflict management amidst the adverse effect of Covid -19 on any construction project.

Published: December 2022

Graduate architects are first mate in architectural practice when handling building construction projects. They had been authorized to run projects in construction industry due to limited architects in the country. The capability of graduate architect when manage project is critical in reducing performance barriers encountered.  The aim of this paper is to identify the most critical performance barriers faced by graduate architects during project implementation. A systematic literature review of credible sources in different databases, combining selected keywords and terms related to performance barrier, building contract administration, graduate architects etc. has been carried out. A data set of fifty articles has been analyzed by means of thematic analysis. The five most crucial performance barriers identified relate to: caused by external environment factors, poor project documentation management, lack of soft skill, inadequate knowledge of quality and assessment management and shortfall in design management. The outcome of the study is expected to facilitate graduate architects to devise proactive risk mitigation measures to reduce impact of these barriers and improve project delivery. This paper examined the performance barriers faced by graduate architects which is a timely study, as the increasing number of population and developments will provide ample opportunities for them to perform.

Rationale. According to WHO, about 21 million children are born annually in the world with low body weight. Currently, the problems of etiology, diagnosis and treatment of fetal growth retardation (FGR) are very relevant for obstetrics and perinatology. Purpose to study the level of collagen (COL1) collagenase activity (MMP1), and content of proline, ornithine in the maternal blood serum, amniotic fluid, placenta and cord blood of patients with placental insufficiency, and to identify their role in the formation of fetal growth restriction (FGR) during early pregnancy. Methods. 150 women were examined, which made up 2 groups control (with uncomplicated pregnancy, n = 105) and main (with IUGR, n = 45). All measurements were performed in maternal blood serum, amniotic fluid, placenta and cord blood of women of both groups. Collagen content and collagenase activity are determined by ELISA kits, USA. Determination of amino acids (proline, ornithine) was carried out by capillary electrophoresis on the device Capel-105 (St. Petersburg). Results. As a result of the correlation analysis in the study of all biofluids by the Spearman method with the calculation of the rank correlation coefficient (r) in the group of women with FGR, significant correlations between collagen production and collagenase activity were revealed. The most pronounced interdependence (r = 0.85; p 0.05) was found in the maternal blood serum. Conclusions. A relationship was found between the studied parameters (collagen, collagenase, proline, ornithine) in blood serum, amniotic fluid, cord blood and placenta of women with placental insufficiency and their role in the formation of fetal growth retardation was established.

Background: Primary vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is the most common congenital uropathy (CU) in children, leading to the development of reflux nephropathy and chronic kidney disease, reaching the terminal stage in 25-60% of patients. The insufficient sensitivity of modern methods of instrumental and laboratory diagnostics of the initial stages of renal parenchyma damage dictates the need to develop new non-invasive technologies for screening and monitoring kidney conditions in patients with CU.
Aims: To evaluate the possibility of separating groups of healthy children and children with kidney damage with CU using the analysis of the mass spectra of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in urine samples.
Materials and methods: This study involved 42 patients (average age 5.4 + 2.3 years), divided into 2 groups: group 1 24 children with congenital uropathies (grade II-V PMR) and comparison group 2 - 18 patients with minor surgical pathology without pathology of the urinary system. Urine samples were collected before the start of treatment. Composition analysis of VOCs samples was carried out through express-analysis method for biological objects at atmospheric pressure without preliminary preparation using a mass spectrometer with ionization by laser plasma radiation. Urinary levels of markers of inflammation (MCP-1, IL-8, IL-18), angiogenesis (VEGF) and fibrosis (TGF-1) were measured by solid-phase ELISA.
Results: Composition changes in urine VOCs were detected in group 1 patients with congenital uropathies (VUR). These changes made it possible to distinguish group 1 samples from the comparison group 2. Creatinine level and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in both groups had no statistical difference. An increase in concentration of inflammatory markers MCP-1, IL-18, IL-8, VEGF angiogenesis and TGF-1 fibrosis was observed in the urine of children with congenital uropathies (VUR) (p0.001). In group 1 patients the concentration of markers did not correlate with the reflux level.
Conclusions: The performed research allowed to find a set of peaks in the recorded mass spectra, according to which it is possible to divide groups into healthy and sick. It also demonstrated the potential of volatolom analysis to detect kidney damage in children with congenital uropathies. The use of standard methods: creatinine and GFR did not allow us to find a threshold value to divide patient into healthy and sick groups. The increase of biomarkers of inflammation, angiogenesis and fibrosis in the urine of children with congenital uropathies confirmed the presence of persistent kidney damage, parenchymal hypoxia, activation of fibrosis and inflammation in children with CU kidneys.

Purpose. The purpose of the study is to assess the state of vehicle traffic safety at the intersection of highways and railways at the same level, as well as the subsequent development of measures to improve road traffic safety at railroad crossings. Assessing the degree of road traffic safety at railway crossings is one of the main tasks of both the road operation service and railway transport services. Therefore, it is advisable to implement a system for assessing the level of safety at railroad crossings, which is necessary to identify dangerous areas and develop measures to improve traffic conditions on them. Methodology. In order to obtain initial data and methods of assessing the state of vehicle traffic safety at the intersection of highways and railways at the same level, the authors conducted a review of the world literature on the topic of the study, as well as monitoring the safety of vehicle traffic at the intersection of highways with railway tracks. On the basis of the various methodological approaches analysis, the method of the final accident rate was used, which makes it possible to assess the state of safety as a result of the modernization or new design decisions, that is, in the absence of data on road accidents. Findings. It was found that according to the final coefficient of railway accident rate, crossings can be classified into one of four classes: safe, low-risk, dangerous, very dangerous. The issue of reducing the risk of an accident at the interaction of railway and road transport has been studied. Originality. Scientific approaches to evaluating the safety of vehicle movement at the intersection of highways and railways have gained further development, at the same level as the calculation of accident coefficients and danger indicators based on the data of the AIS Pereizd subsystem, which is being implemented on the railways of Ukraine. Practical value. The obtained results will be useful for carrying out measures to increase the safety of traffic through railway crossings, especially in the directions of the introduction of high-speed train traffic. The use of the AIS Pereizd automated information subsystem will allow using the method of the final accident rate and evaluating the safety of rail transport and motor vehicles in the area of railway crossings without additional labor costs.

Published: December 2022

Purpose. The study is aimed at substantiating the structure and determining the main parameters of the traction electric drive of an electric locomotive for railway quarry transport, taking into account its modes of operation. Methodology. The research was carried out by means of mathematical modeling, which included solving the traction problem and evaluating the parameters of the energy exchange processes between the components of the traction electric drive. The simulation was carried out for the movement of the train along the track section and during shunting, which differ significantly in their mathematical description. During simulation of movement along the track section, the traction problem was solved using recommendations for traction calculations for train operation. A simplified model was developed to simulate movements during shunting. Determination of the parameters of the traction electric drive components is carried out by analyzing the processes of energy exchange in the traction electric drive based on the power balance. During the studies, it was assumed that the on-board energy storage in the traction mode feeds the traction electric motors of the booster section. In the electrodynamic braking mode, the energy accumulator stores energy from all traction electric motors of the electric locomotive. Findings. The authors obtained time dependences of the parameters that characterize the train movement at all stages of the cycle «empty half passage – loading – loaded half passage – unloading» (on the example of an electric locomotive for PJSC «Ferrexpo Poltava Mining»). The analysis of the obtained dependencies made it possible to determine the parameters of the main components of the traction electric drive for the proposed storage operation scenario. It was established that the energy capacity of the energy storage should be 250 kWh for one movement cycle. The energy storage power is 6000 kW. Originality. The authors of this paper for the first time proposed the structure of the traction electric drive of an electric locomotive for quarry railway transport, in which the electric motors of the control electric locomotive are powered from the catenary network, and the electric motors of the booster section are powered from the energy accumulator and are included in the operation at a load that exceeds 50% of the nominal one. Practical value. The practical value lies in the developed mathematical models of movement and energy exchange processes, which can be applied to the study of traction electric drives of vehicles of various purposes.

Authors: Shynkarenko V. I , Zhuchyi L. I
Published: December 2022

Purpose. During the development of railway ontologies, it is necessary to take into account both the data of information systems and regulatory support to check their consistency. To do this, data integration is performed. The purpose of the work is to formalize the methods for integrating heterogeneous sources of information and ontology formation. Methodology. Constructive-synthesizing modelling of ontology formation and its resources was developed. Findings. Ontology formation formalization has been performed, which allows expanding the possibilities of automating the integration and coordination of data using ontologies. In the future, it is planned to expand the structural system for the formation of ontologies based on textual sources of railway regulatory documentation and information systems. Originality. The authors laid the foundations of using constructive-synthesizing modelling in the railway transport ontological domain to form the structure and data of the railway train speed restriction warning tables (database and csv format), their transformation into a common tabular format, vocabulary, rules and ontology individuals, as well as ontology population. Ontology learning methods have been developed to integrate data from heterogeneous sources. Practical value. The developed methods make it possible to integrate heterogeneous data sources (the structure of the table of the railway train management rules, the form and application for issuing a warning), which are railway domain-specific. It allows forming an ontology from its data sources (database and csv formats) to schema and individuals. Integration and consistency of information system data and regulatory documentation is one of the aspects of increasing the level of train traffic safety.

BEAM-PLASMA REACTORS FOR FUNCTIONAL GRADIENT MATERIALS PRODUCTION
Authors: Vasilieva Tatiana
Published: December 2022

Application and perspectives of beam-plasma chemical rectors generating cold hybrid plasma for production of functionally graded polymeric materials for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine are considered. Oxygen hybrid plasma was produced by joint action of a continuous or intermittent electron beam and a capacity coupled radio-frequency (RF) gas discharge (13.56 MHz) on gaseous media at moderate pressures (~ 1000 Pa). The scanning electron beam (accelerating voltage, 30 kV, and beam current, 1-1.5 mA) was injected through the grid of the active RF electrode; polymeric samples were placed in the gap between electrodes of the RF-discharge system. Electron beam characteristics, namely, scanning mode and power, can instantly and independently control the reaction volume geometry as well as concentrations of active plasma particles. Methods for such control by means of the scanning of intermittent electron beams are described. As a result, the RF discharge can be accurately localized on the desirable zone of the polymeric surface forming abruptly structured patterns or smooth gradients of functionalities, while radiation and thermal damages of polymers are prevented. The approach was tested using polymethylmethacrylate, polyethylenterphtalate, and polycarbonate samples, and the changes in the chemical composition and hydrophilic properties of their surfaces were shown, which are associated with the improvement of biocompatibility of the plasma-modified polymers.

The work demonstrates the effect of cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) on adult female rats suffering from osteoporosis, the used plasma was generated by a floating electrode-dielectric barrier discharge system with an electrode diameter of 3 cm. The output power was from (12-20) watts. The effect of non-thermal plasma was observed on rats with various exposure times of 20, 30, and 40 sec. It was noted that the blood calcium percentage of animals exposed to cold plasma increased, as well as an increase in the level of vitamin D3 at the same time, it is noted that there is no effect on parathyroid hormone level. For the thyroid gland, it is noticed an increase in the level of T3, and T4 hormones in the blood during the period of induction for osteoporosis, and when exposed to cold plasma, a decrement was noticed in the level of the two hormones reached the normal level at the same time. There was no effect on thyroid-stimulating hormone and for periods of exposure in the female plasma, these results give an indication that cold plasma can be used to treat or reduce osteoporosis. Finally, the histopathology and energy dispersive x-ray anyalysis (EDX) analysis processes were done, This gives a positive indication for the use of cold plasma in the treatment of many bone-related diseases.

We studied a numerical model describing electromagnetic forces that arise in a cylindrical volume of metal placed in the working area of a newly designed electromagnetic stirrer. The combined use of a complex-shaped inductor with a set of 6x6 coils and a power management system makes it possible to generate magnetic fields of almost any topology (in the simplest case, traveling and rotating magnetic fields). To verify the numerical model, we created an experimental setup consisting of an inductor and measuring systems. A good agreement has been achieved between the experimental and numerical data on the distribution of the magnetic field and the magnitude of the generated electromagnetic forces. In particular, the maximum of the curve showing dependence of the moment of the electromagnetic force on the frequency of alternating current is reproduced with good accuracy. The effect of rotation of an electrically conductive medium on the moment of the electromagnetic force acting on this medium was studied numerically. By analyzing the extrema of the moments of electromagnetic forces, we have found the dependence of the frequency of the supply voltage of the windings, which ensures the maximum moment of electromagnetic forces during the rotation of the electrically conductive medium, on the rotation frequency of the medium.
THE DEBATE ON THE METHOD OF ROMAN JURISPRUDENCE AND ITS FOUNDER: A SHORT HISTORICAL ESSAY
Authors:   Higher School of Economics, Pestov M. M. ,   Private Law Research Centre under the President of the Russian Federation named after S. S. Alekseev
Published: December 2022

Introduction: the article analyzes a discussion on legal method of Roman law, including the question about the period of time when the method was developed. Purpose: to assess the views presented in the literature on external cultural factors that could influence the development of legal method. The main divergences between the approaches to understanding the Roman legal method are identified and attempts to reconcile them are analyzed. Based on the analysis of ancient juridical and non-juridical sources, the author attempts to determine the historical period when the Roman legal method may have appeared. Results: the analysis of different views showed that rhetoric, logic and intuitive cognition are regarded as the main factors that shaped the legal method of Roman law. However, the study of ancient sources does not give the understanding of a certain time period when it appeared. Conclusions: the different views presented in the literature not so much contradict as supplement each other. Thus, it is be more fruitful to analyze Roman law sources taking into account different approaches. It is not possible to determine a certain historical period when the legal method appeared. Due to the lack of sufficient information in the sources, it is also hardly possible to attribute the emergence of the method to a certain Roman jurist whose treatises would demonstrate a methodology of legal studies developed at that time. It appears to be more reasonable to reconstruct the external circumstances, the cultural environment for each individual period in the history of Roman jurisprudence.

Authors:   Nizhny Novgorod Institute of Management – branch of the Russian Academy of National Economy and Public Administration under the President of Russia, Bolshakova V. M. , Kholikov I. V. ,   Institute of Legislation and Comparative Law under the Government of the Russian Federation
Published: December 2022

Introduction: there are numerous legal studies, both general theoretical and applied, discussing the principles of law, the normatively established principles of the activities of the state bodies, the principles of legal proceedings. Meanwhile, the principles of the organization of the judicial system remain on the fringes of legal and historical-legal scientific research. Thus, the issues of identifying and understanding the essence and characteristics of the principles underlying the judicial system appear to be of particular importance for science and practice. Purpose: to formulate theoretical premises and substantiate generalized ideas about the fundamental principles of the organization of the Russian judicial system. Methods: theoretical methods (formalization and hypothetical-deductive method); general logical methods (analysis and synthesis, comparison and analogy, deduction and induction, systematization and classification, abstraction and generalization); empirical methods (collection of historiographic data, analysis of empirical data); dialectical, comparative legal, historiographical, and axiological approaches. Conclusions: through the study of the historical and legal foundations and the analysis of the basic concepts, the article reveals the essential characteristics of the cornerstone principles of the judiciary – the unity of the judicial system, the independence of the courts, the irremovability and independence of judges. The content and structure of these principles as well as the external and internal organizational legal functions they perform are identified and discussed.
ON THE FOREIGN PRACTICE OF APPLYING THE DEATH PENALTY AND CHEMICAL CASTRATION AS MEASURES OF CRIMINAL LEGAL IMPACT
Authors:   Ural Law Institute under the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, Maslov W. A.
Published: December 2022

Introduction: the fact of the continued existence of the death penalty jointly with an actual ban on its use underline the negative trend of sexual assault crimes in the respect of minors and indicate the expediency of finding an answer to the question of the optimal building of a domestic criminal legal impact system. Purpose: determination of the existence prospects in the Russian criminal law of such measures of impact as chemical castration and the death penalty. Methods: the research methodology is based on dialectical materialism. Both general scientific (systemic-and-structural and Aristotelian, inductive and deductive methods, as well as analysis and synthesis) and special (legalistic, rather-legal) methods were used. Results: it is indicated that the forced use of chemical castration to persons with disorders of sexual preference could be justified, provided that problems related to the short duration of the drug’s exposure and secondary effects of its use are resolved. In the current conditions, it is permissible to apply this measure on a dispositive basis (as a basis for parole). There have been highlighted three key arguments against the death penalty: the absence of effectiveness (USA, Indonesia, Nigeria, India, Pakistan); the injustice (disproportionality) of this punishment (USA, Malaysia, India); the discriminatory nature of the death penalty (for political reasons, the criterion of race and belonging to sexual minorities (USA); according to the criterion of class/caste (Nigeria); by economic and social status and gender (India). It is concluded that these circumstances, coupled with such negative factors as judicial errors, the cost and duration of appeal procedures, the Death Row Phenomenon and the widespread Colorado Method, indicate unequivocal doctrinal support for the rejection of the death penalty as an instrument of national criminal policy. Conclusions: the refusal of the Russian Federation to use the death penalty is within the framework of a foreign trend to exclude this measure of punishment from the arsenal of law enforcement agencies due to the huge number of problems with its application and empirically unconfirmed effectiveness.
THE PROCEDURES FOR THE CONCLUSION AND TERMINATION OF INTERNATIONAL COMMERCIAL CONTRACTS AND LIABILITY UNDER THEM
Authors:   Comrat State University, Tatar O. V.
Published: December 2022

Introduction: the author discusses the procedures for concluding, amending, and terminating international commercial contracts, and also the responsibility of the parties to such contracts in case of evasion or unwillingness of the parties to fulfill the conditions of the concluded contracts. The article aims to study the procedures for the conclusion and termination of international commercial contracts and liability under them. The main legal means of interaction between participants in the commercial turnover is a civil contract. In the field of international commercial turnover, a civil contract acquires the features of an international commercial contract. International commercial contracts mediate the international business activities of the parties and differ from similar internal transactions, as well as from transactions that, although complicated by a foreign element, are concluded with the participation of the consumer. International commercial practice has developed a number of requirements usually imposed on the content and structure of international commercial contracts. It is concluded that international commercial contracts usually contain several sections located in a certain logical sequence, although the content and structure of contracts may vary depending on the specifics of the product and a number of other conditions.
‘An Imaginative Woman’ by Thomas Hardy as a Photoekphrastic Short Story

The article deals with the short story by the English writer Thomas Hardy An Imaginative Woman (1894), which has not been translated into Russian. The author of the article analyzes this work from the point of view of genre features and classifies it as a piece of photoekphrastic prose. The argument in favor of this categorization is photographic ekphrasis, penetrating into such poetological levels of the story as plot-and-composition, character-related, spatiotemporal, narrative, motive-thematic. The perception of photography had a particular impact on the poetics of ekphrasis in the works of the Victorian era: it was not instantaneously perceived as a new and independent art form. Photo ekphrasis viewed through the prism of the Victorian times allows assuming its genre-forming function. It is not surprising that the mysticism of the photographic is reflected in photoekphrastic prose. According to the plot of the story, a photograph of a poet has an inexplicable impact on Ella Marchmill: looking at the photograph, she falls in love with him and commits adultery with him in her imagination and fantasies. After the suicide of the poet, whom she never met in reality, Ella dies. Having accidentally found the photograph in his house, the husband discovers some similarity between the child and the photographic portrait and kicks the child out of the house. The genre of Victorian short story, ‘open’ and developing, turned out to be the most organic form for photoekphrastic experiments. Thus, the functionality of photo ekphrasis in a short story is very versatile: it creates external and internal eventfulness in the story; reveals the psychology of the characters; serves as an impetus for expanding the historical and cultural context of the Victorian era; acts as a link between two worlds – the real and the ideal, built with the help of the imaginary; embodies the motives of ‘meeting’ and ‘recognizing’, as well as the theme of death and identity (personal, social) of the characters. The participation of photo ekphrasis in the organization of all levels of the artistic system of the story allows us to classify it as the genre ofphotoekphrastic short story.
CORROSION-ELECTROCHEMICAL BEHAVIOR OF IRON DISILICIDE IN SULFURIC ACID ELECTROLYTE

The corrosion-electrochemical behavior of FeSi2 electrode in 5% H2SO4 and 5% H2SO4 + (0.1–0.5) g/l NaF solutions was studied. It is concluded that in 5% H2SO4 solution with a corrosion potential, an oxide film is formed on the FeSi2 surface, which is similar in composition to SiO2. The oxide film is not reduced at low cathodic polarizations; as a result of anodic polarization, the film grows and is doped with iron oxides. The presence of an oxide film on the silicide surface determines its high chemical resistance. It is shown that the effect of sodium fluoride, which activates the dissolution of FeSi2 electrode in a sulfuric acid solution, is associated with a weakening of the passivating effect of silicon dioxide and iron oxides. With increasing of NaF concentration, the role of iron in the kinetics of electrode processes on silicide increases, while that of silicon decreases. The order of the reaction of FeSi2 dissolution by NaF was calculated depending on the potential.
Growth kinetics of anodic oxide films on cobalt silicides in sulfuric and hydrofluoric acids solutions

The growth kinetics of anodic oxide layers was studied on cobalt silicides Co2SiandCoSi2in 0,5 mol/l H2SO4 solution with addition of 0,005 or 0,01 mol/l HF using chronoamperometric measurements at different oxide formation potentials. The kinetics of oxide growth can be described on the basis of the high field model. The current responses to potential steps for Co2Si electrode appear as damped oscillations. The oscillating processes were explained from the standpoint of the theory of linear electric circuits and from the consideration of chemical interaction of the oxide film with the solution.

Etre une femme africaine, être un sujet de discours
Authors: LEZOU KOFFI Aimée-Danielle
Published: December 2022

Cette contribution vise à examiner les voix qui déterminent la femme africaine dans le contexte où elle évolue. Plus précisément, le traitement de cette thématique revient à aborder la problématique du sujet du discours que l’AD, dès ses débuts, met au centre de ses préoccupations. En effet, matérialisation de la langue, le discours est une activité éminemment sociale qui constitue une voie d’accès à la compréhension du monde. A l’interface entre études féministes et analyse du discours, la présente contribution évalue la manière dont est déclinée l’identité de la femme africaine, la problématique de la voix, du sujet de l’énonciation. Elle postule une identité écartelée entre différents discours sur l’étant-femme, qu’il importe de restaurer. La réappropriation de la parole par la femme africaine de même qu’une restauration de l’estime de soi devraient favoriser la construction du sujet de discours.

Published: December 2022

Bu araştırmanın amacı finansal tabana yayılma, ekonomik büyüme ve krediler arasındaki ilişkileri Türkiye bağlamında incelemektir. Türkiye gelişmekte olan ülkeler kategorisinde olup ekonomik büyüme ülkenin önemli hedefleri arasında yer almaktadır. Bankacılık sektörü de verdiği krediler ile ekonomik büyümenin lokomotifi konumundadır. Bunun yanı sıra kredilere ve finansal ürünlere daha fazla erişimin sağlanması Türkiye’de finansal piyasaların derinleşmesinde dikkate alınması gereken önemli bir husustur. Bu bağlamda krediler, ekonomik büyüme ve finansal tabana yayılma arasındaki ilişkilerin belirlenmesi Türkiye açısından önem arz etmekte ve araştırmanın temel motivasyonunu oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada finansal tabana yayılma bağımlı değişkenini temsilen üç alt değişken (ATM sayısı, hesap adedi ve POS sayısı) Temel Bileşen Analizi (Principal Component Analysis) kullanılarak tek bir değişkene dönüştürülmüştür. Bu durum araştırmamızı diğer araştırmalardan farklılaştırmaktadır. Finansal tabana yayılmanın bağımlı değişken, krediler ve ekonomik büyümenin ise bağımsız değişken olduğu araştırmada değişkenler arasındaki ilişkiler çoklu regresyon modelleri ile analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmadan elde edilen sonuçlar krediler ile finansal tabana yayılma ve ekonomik büyüme ile finansal tabana yayılma arasında anlamlı ve pozitif yönlü ilişkilerin varlığını göstermektedir. Bu bağlamda kredilerde meydana gelen %1’lik artış finansal tabana yayılmayı %0,86 düzeyinde arttırırken, ekonomik büyümede meydana gelen %1’lik artış finansal tabana yayılmayı %0,28 arttırmaktadır. Buna göre hem kredilerde hem de ekonomik büyümede meydana gelen artışlar finansal tabana yayılmayı pozitif etkilemektedir.
