KARMA EVLİLİK SÜRECİNDE ÇİFTLERİN TANIŞMA VE KARAR ALMA SÜREÇLERİ
Authors: Er Neslihan
Published: September 2024

Tarihsel olarak, evlilikler aynı sosyal grup veya çevrede gerçekleşmekteydi, ancak günümüzde, çiftlerin yaşamları hızla değişen sosyal ve kültürel unsurların etkisi altında farklı bir yön almaktadır. Son yüzyılda, özellikle göç gibi global faktörler toplumların önemli bir dönüşüm geçirmesine neden olmuştur. Bu süreç, farklı etnik grupların bir araya gelmesiyle heterojen ve çeşitli sosyal yapıların oluşmasına katkıda bulunmuştur. Günümüz dünyasında, ulusları saf etnik kategorilere dayanarak tanımlamak giderek zorlaşmaktadır; toplumlar çok uluslu ilişkiler ve kültürel, dini çeşitlilikten kaynaklanan karma yapılarla şekillenmektedir. Batı ülkelerinde, özellikle göçmenlerin kültürel pratiklerini sürdürme ve dinlerini icra etme arzuları, karma birlikteliklerin artışıyla birleşince, bu durum bazı çevrelerce endişe verici bir durum olarak algılanmaya başlanmıştır. Çok kültürlü toplumlarda, azınlık grupları, çoğunluk gruplarla olan ilişkilerinde kendilerini tehdit altında hissederek, korunmak adına içe kapanma stratejisi benimsemektedir. Buna rağmen, karma çiftler genellikle ailelerinin tepkileriyle karşılaşsalar da zamanla onları ikna etme umuduyla ilişkilerini sürdürme eğiliminde bulunmaktadır. Çalışmada, karma evliliklerin çeşitli unsurları, özellikle çiftlerin tanışma ve karar alma süreçleri incelenmektedir. Farklı kültürel ve dini arka planlara sahip bireylerin evliliklerinin toplumsal algısı ve kimlik üzerindeki etkileri ele alınmaktadır. Ayrıca, bu evliliklerin zorlukları, ailelerin ve toplumun tutumları, çiftlerin karşılaştığı zorluklar ve bunların üstesinden gelme yolları üzerinde durulmaktadır.

Auf dem Weg zu inklusiven Arbeitsmärkten
Authors: Oehme Andreas
Published: September 2024

Bis heute bleibt die Unterstützung von Übergängen in Arbeit zweigeteilt: Beschäftigungshilfen für sozial benachteiligte junge Menschen stehen neben einem System für Menschen mit Behinderungen. Beide gelten gegenüber einem als normal angesehenen Ausbildungssystem und einem »ersten« Arbeitsmarkt als Sondersysteme. Mit einem detaillierten Blick auf das Feld entwickelt der Band ein Modell für Übergangs- und Beschäftigungsstrukturen, die der Forderung nach Inklusion gerecht werden. Er geht der Frage nach, wie Hilfen in die Regelsysteme integriert und wie inklusive Arbeitsmärkte – unter anderem mit Ansätzen einer gemeinwesenorientierten Ökonomie – im lokalen Raum entwickelt werden können.
“Originally I Came from the Least of Society”: Making Sense of International Students’ Understandings of Social Class through Emotional Commentaries
Authors: Shields Sam , Schartner Alina
Published: September 2024

To fully understand how socio-economic backgrounds shape the university experiences of international students, cross-national measures of social class are needed. This paper offers a contribution to understandings of social class cross-nationally through semi-structured interviews with sixteen international students. It argues that an emphasis on international students’ emotional commentaries may offer important insights into subjective understandings of social class that may not otherwise be identified. Participants were able to locate themselves within the societal structure of their own country with conceptualizations of “top,” “middle,” and “bottom” related to income differentials. Emotional injuries relating to a sense of “working-class-ness” were evident in international students’ narratives with hope, fear, and shame prevalent in these accounts. The findings from this study can inform tailored international student support provision, contribute to a more nuanced understanding of the university experience of this group, and challenge the narrative that all international students are “privileged”.
“What Does Critical Thinking Mean to You?” A Narrative Inquiry of Graduate Students’ Perceptions
Authors: Ojaghi Shirmard Farzaneh , Howe Edward R.
Published: September 2024

Critical thinking is an important part of higher education in Canada, and many education systems worldwide, but not all cultural contexts. Critical thinking enables students to expand their perspectives and better navigate important personal and professional decisions. This narrative inquiry compares Canadian and Iranian international graduate students’ perceptions of critical thinking. Through conversations with eight participants, deep and complex transcultural understandings of critical thinking were unearthed. Findings indicate that while Canadian participants can articulate informed viewpoints about critical thinking, some Iranian participants require further knowledge to construct their critical thinking conceptualizations. Results suggest that Canadian higher education needs to consider international students’ limited background knowledge of critical thinking and must provide more opportunities to develop critical thinking skills. This study offers insights for higher education policymakers, curriculum developers, and practitioners to consider international and intercultural perspectives to facilitate critical thinking in both international and domestic students.

De ahí a analizar y caracterizar la naturaleza de la autonomía universitaria. Por otro lado, la visión interna, en donde debe cristalizarse en la administración y en el orden jurídico universitario instituciones de gobernanza universitaria.
El momento latinoamericano de la igualdad en un contexto histórico global: su apertura, su cierre y su posible reapertura
Authors:   Linneaeus University, Therborn Göran
Published: September 2024

A la luz de la historia global, el logro latinoamericano de los años 2000 es de proporciones bastante respetables, comparable, incluso, con los “Trente Glorieuses” europeos. América Latina ha proporcionado prácticamente el único rayo de luz, casi por sí sola ha demostrado la posibilidad de igualdad. ¿Conservarán su impulso los esfuerzos por la igualdad? Es aquí en donde una conclusión se desliza a la ambigüedad. Parece razonable esperar una complejidad similar en la América Latina del siglo XXI.
Dimyâtî’nin İthâfu Fuzalâi’l-Beşer Adlı Eserinin Kıraat İlmi Açısından Tahlili ve Eserinde Kıraat İlminin Muhtelif Meselelerine Yaklaşımı
Authors: Hatipoğlu Mustafa
Published: September 2024

Dimyâtî (ö. 1117/1705), hicrî XI. asrın ikinci yarısı ile XII. yüzyılın ilk çeyreğinde yaşamış bir kıraat alimidir. Farklı ilim dallarında belli bir derinlik kazanan Dimyâtî, şöhretini daha çok kıraat alanının en bilinen eserlerinden biri olan İthâfu fuzalâi’l-beşer adlı kitabı ile yakalamıştır. Dimyâtî’nin eserine genel çerçeveden bakıldığında, İthâf’ta uyguladığı yöntemi iyi kurguladığını; kendisinden önceki kıraat birikimine ve içeriğine vâkıf olduğunu ve bu bilgi birikimini İthâf’ta sentezlediği söylenebilir. Müellifin eserinin bu çerçevede ele alınması, incelenmesi ve kıraat yaklaşımının ortaya koyulması, literatürde teşkil ettiği konumu tespit bakımından önem arz etmektedir. Öte yandan kıraat-i aşereyi Tayyibetü’n-neşr’in tarîkleri üzerine bina etmesi sebebiyle İthâf, Tayyibe’nin öğretiminde ve bu manzûmenin izahında başucu kaynak rolü üstlenmiştir. Dimyâtî, kıraat ilmine yönelik olarak kaleme aldığı bu eserle Mısır ve Osmanlı dönemi kıraat öğretimine önemli bir etkide bulunmuştur. Nitekim Osmanlı döneminden itibaren kıraat ilminde tarîk ve meslekler olarak adlandırılan ekollerin metodolojik farklılıklarını öğrenmede temel referans kaynaklarından biri İthâf’tır. Müellif, İthâf’ında; kıraatlerin sıhhat şartları, resmü’l-mushaf, kıraatlerin hüccetleri, şâz kıraatler ve tahrîrât meselesi gibi konulara yönelik dikkate değer malumata yer vermektedir. Çalışmada, bahsi geçen meselelere müellifin İthâf’ta yer verme keyfiyeti ve yaklaşım tarzı irdelenmektedir. İslâm dünyasında hakkında yapılan çalışmalar hem nicelik hem de nitelik olarak her geçen gün artmasına rağmen ülkemizde İthâf hakkında hiçbir çalışmanın yapılmamış olması, alandaki boşluğa işaret etmektedir. Bu bakımdan çalışmanın bir yandan mezkûr boşluğu bir nebze de olsa doldurması diğer yandan da İthâf hakkında yapılacak yeni çalışmalara bir basamak teşkil etmesi umulmaktadır. Çalışmada, Ahmed b. Muhammed ed-Dimyâtî’nin İthâfu fuzalâi’l-beşer adlı eserinde kıraat ilminin muhtelif meselelerine yaklaşımı ve kıraat birikimini sunma yönteminin tespitine odaklanılmaktadır. Özetle Dimyâtî’nin İthâf’ı yazma amacı, muhtevası, metodu, eserinin kıraat ilmi açısından tahlile tabi tutulması ve kıraat ilminin muhtelif meselelerine yaklaşım tarzının tespit edilmesi hedeflenmektedir.

Yeme davranışları ekonomik ve sosyal açıdan olduğu kadar tüketim pratikleri perspektifinden de değerlendirilmektedir. Sosyal açıdan tüketilen yiyeceklerin içerdiği anlam çoğu zaman tüketiciler tarafından karın doyurma işlevinden çok daha fazlasını, güç, sembol, kimlik ve statü gibi unsurları ihtiva etmektedir. Çağdaş tabirle, "ne yersen osun" ifadesi, yeme alışkanlıklarının ve tercih edilen yiyeceklerin bireylerin bir tezahürü olduğu fikrini ifade eder. Max Weber’in sosyolojik yaklaşımından Thorstein Veblen’in Aylak Sınıfın Teorisi’ne, Bourdieu’nun tabakalaşma kuramından AntiBourdieu’cu hareket olarak da adlandırılan kültürel hepçillik kuramlarına kadar yemek yeme, tüketilen gıdalar farklı hipotezlerle ortaya konulmuş ve açıklanmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı bu kuramlar içerisinde yer alan Veblen’in gösterişçi tüketimi pespektifinden yiyeceklerin içerisinde bulunduğu mevcut durumun ortaya konulmasıdır. Gösterişçi tüketim sosyal medya platformlarında paylaşılan yemek fotoğraflarından dışarıda yemek yemeye ve tercih edilen restoran türlerine kadar pek çok alana yansımıştır.
Organizational Diagnosis in State Universities and Colleges (SUCs): Academic Deans’ Perspectives through the Lens of Weisbord’s Six-Box Model
Authors: Amorin Ronel
Published: September 2024

In an increasingly complex educational landscape, the ability of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to maintain organizational performance and effectiveness is critical for their sustained success. Amidst evolving challenges, organizational diagnosis plays a crucial role in ensuring organizational robustness within these institutions, enabling them to navigate and thrive in the higher education sector. This descriptive-correlational study aimed at examining an organizational diagnosis based on Weisbord’s Six-Box Model in State Universities and Colleges (SUCs).  The academic deans were purposively chosen as samples of the investigation. Preziosi’s (1980) organizational diagnosis questionnaire (ODQ) based on Weisbord’s Model, an adopted data-gathering instrument was used in data collection. Means and standard deviations were used for descriptive analyses while Spearman’s rho set at 0.05 alpha level was employed for inferential analyses.   In all organizational aspects, the results showed that there were no significant problems or challenges.  In general, there were strong interrelationships among all the internal elements in the diagnosis model. Specifically, the strongest correlation existed between purpose and structure, between leadership and structure, and purpose and leadership. There is still reason to believe that the SUCs should function more efficiently in order to reach the optimum working conditions, even though no issues or problems revealed in the model. This study provides a framework that SUC officials and administrators can utilize while conducting an organizational assessment and review, as well as a full model that can be established for long-term performance and effectiveness.

Published: September 2024

Three field trials were conducted in 2016/2017, 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 dry seasons at Zakirai, Gabasawa Local Government, Kano State to study the growth of sweet pepper cultivars as influenced by weeding and spraying using neem leaf extract in the sudan savanna, Nigeria. The experiment consisted of four cultivars of sweet pepper (Dan Alko, California Wonder, Dan Damasak and Yolo Wonder), three hoe weeding (Weedy check, 3 and 6 weeks after transplanting) and four spraying regimes (0,4,6 and 8 weeks after transplanting) which were factorially combined and laid out in a split plot design and replicated three times. Data were collected on plant height, number of leaves, number of branches, crop growth rate, and total dry matter. The result of the study shows that 2017/2018 dry season had significantly increased plant height, number of branches and leaves, as compared to the corresponding seasons. Dan Alko and Dan Damasak produced significantly higher mean value of crop growth rate and total dry matter both at 12 WAT. It also revealed that weeding regimes at 6WAT gave highest number of branched at 12WAT. The use of neem leaf extract was found to be effective on number of leaves only at 4WAT.
Examining the behaviour of Chinese high-tech firms throughout their lifecycle of certification: A microeconomic perspective
Authors: Yoon SungMan , Cui Ying , Suh JungHwa
Published: September 2024

This study examines whether the behaviour of high-tech firms (earnings management) differs between the period immediately before certification and the period during certification. Additionally, the influence of the Chinese government's equity ownership on the earnings management tendencies of high-tech firms is examined. This study is focused on Chinese companies that are listed on the Chinese stock exchange from 2009 to 2020. Empirical analyses, including descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and regression analysis, were conducted to obtain the results. The two main findings are as follows: First, during the certification period, high-tech firms tend to engage in earnings-minimising activities, due to the continuous supervision and management required to meet and maintain the certification requirements imposed by the Chinese government. Second, firms with higher equity ownership by the Chinese government tend to engage in more earnings management immediately before achieving high-tech firm certification than during the certification period. This behaviour can be attributed to the differential taxation of high-tech firms and the Chinese government's intensive supervision, management, and regulation of firms. This study contributes to the literature on the impact of government supervision, management, and/or regulations on the level of earnings management activities by high-tech firms. It examines the effect of government ownership of firms and the corporate structure of high-tech firms on earnings management. It also provides foreign investors with information about how high-tech firms and the Chinese government behave in terms of certification.

Published: September 2024

Indonesia experiences frequent flooding, with data from the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) revealing that floods account for 41% of all natural disasters (1,441 incidents) recorded in 2021. These floods cause significant property damage and casualties. To address this challenge, we have developed a prototype flood early warning system. This system utilizes ultrasonic sensors for real-time water level detection. Sensor data is transmitted to designated personnel through a website interface. Additionally, the system leverages a Telegram bot to deliver flood early warnings directly to the community residing in flood-prone areas. The sensor data comparison test yielded an error rate of only 0.6175% with an average difference of 1 cm, demonstrating the system's accuracy and functionality. Furthermore, a notification test conducted ten times achieved 100% accuracy. The Telegram bot successfully sent text message alerts (alert 1, alert 2, alert 3) with an average delivery time of 4.07 seconds. This prototype offers a promising solution for flood mitigation. By providing real-time water level data and issuing timely alerts via a user-friendly Telegram bot, the system empowers communities to prepare for potential flooding and minimize associated risks.

A total of 319 midwives with varying degrees and experience working at different levels (teaching, municipal, regional and district hospitals) of the health care system in Ghana participated in the study. Basic descriptive quantitative analysis was used based on frequency tables, pie chart and graphical illustration to interpret the data. Results: The participants have adequate knowledge on the impact of perinatal anxiety and depression on birth and maternal outcomes. However, the remains a huge deficit in their ability to use the validated and reliable assessment tools in recognizing clinical cues related to anxiety and depression among perinatal women. Surprisingly, over 50% of the midwives were unfamiliar with the commonly used assessment tools for depression and anxiety such as the EPDS and PHQ-9. Additionally, nearly 40% of the participants lack the requisite assessment skills for assessing perinatal anxiety and depression. Conclusion: Perinatal mental health should be made a critical component of perinatal care, with midwives being well situated to recognize the manifestations of deteriorating mental health among the perinatal women in their care and provide the needed support and required level of supervision. It is therefore imperative to train midwives on basic mental health assessment skills and encourage them to incorporate mental health care into the delivery of routine perinatal care and services.

Purpose: This research introduces and preliminarily validates the Scale of Satisfaction with Working in Hospitality (SWH) to assess quality of working life and psychosomatic distress among hospitality employees, addressing a gap in employee well-being understanding. Method: Conducted at the University of Ioannina’s Department of Accounting and Finance from April to June 2022, the study began with a 10-item SWH scale, refined to 6 items through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses with 1,007 Greek hospitality workers. Online platforms ensured participant confidentiality and anonymity, and tools like the SF-36 Health Survey and SCL-90-R were used for enhanced validity. Data analysis utilized SPSS 22 and Jamovi 2.4.1. Results: The 6-item SWH scale showed strong reliability and validity, capturing quality of working life and psychosomatic distress. Significant findings included gender differences in psychosomatic distress and positive correlations between SWH and other measures, illustrating the link between job satisfaction and aspects like health, mental well-being, and burnout vulnerability. Conclusions: This study offers a significant contribution to hospitality management, providing a validated tool for assessing employee satisfaction and psychosomatic issues. It underscores the importance of employee well-being in the hospitality sector for both workforce health and customer service quality. The SWH scale emerges as a valuable instrument for future research and practical application in organizational settings, potentially enhancing job satisfaction and mental health among hospitality employees

Aim: The objective of this study is to explore whether shame mediates the relationship between oral health and psychopathology among elder individuals. Methods: The findings of this cross-sectional study are derived from data collected from a sample of 204 patients, including 120 females and 84 males, aged between 60 and 92 years, with an average age of 74.2 years (SD = 7.1). Participants completed a sociodemographic questionnaire, the 12-item GOHAI scale, the Experiential Shame Scale (ESS), the Other as Shamer Scale (OAS), and the Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90). Path analysis was applied in order to test the model that was theoretically developed. In the examined path model, age, gender, medication, oral health (GOHAI) and shame (OAS, ESS), were regressed on psychopathology (GSI), while shame was positioned as mediator in the relation between oral health and psychopathology. Results: Oral health found to have a significant negative effect on both external and internal shame. In turn, both flavours of shame were significant regressors of psychopathology. A noteworthy indirect impact of age on both forms of shame through oral health was also reported as well as an indirect effect of oral health on psychopathology through both internal and external shame. Thus, the relationship between oral health and psychopathology is fully mediated by both internal and external shame. Specifically, as oral health improves, lower levels of external and internal shame are expected to induce a more favorable mental state. Conclusions: As individual’s age and their oral health declines, they become more susceptible to feelings of shame, which, in turn, can have profound implications for their psychological well-being. The importance of considering oral health as an integral component of overall well-being is emphasized and its relevance in the context of mental health is highlighted.

Microfiber Content in Pacific Oysters (Crassostrea gigas) from Morro Bay, California
Authors: Bures Julia , Huvard Andrea
Published: September 2024

Plastics are a major source of marine pollution. One form of plastic pollution is microfibers, which are synthetic fibers five micrometers or smaller that are shed by artificial clothing. The size of microfibers enables them to easily be ingested by a number of marine organisms, including oysters. Oysters are filter feeders and a major aquaculture asset, which presents a concern for the effects of microfiber ingestion on human health. Very few studies have been conducted quantifying microfibers using Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) sourced from California. This study quantifies microfiber content in the Pacific oyster farmed for human consumption in Morro Bay, California. Microfibers were quantified after being isolated from oyster samples. An average of 9.12 microfibers were recovered per oyster sample. Although some of the smaller oysters contained more microfibers compared to larger oysters, this difference was not significant. There also was no significant difference between the quantities of black and blue microfibers. However, there was a significant increase in quantities of black microfibers compared to green or red microfibers. The results of this study indicate that a large amount of microfibers are present in commercial oysters, but more research needs to be conducted to determine how this will impact human health.
