UNDERSTANDING CONSUMERSâ€™ INTENTION TO USE ONLINE PROPERTY WEBSITES: A CONCEPTUAL MODEL
Authors: Dyana Chang Mui Ling , Mohd. Suki Norazah
Published: January 2023

The property industry has played a significant part in the growth of the national economy. However, minimal research has been accomplished regarding the study of consumersâ€™ intention to use online property websites, particularly in developing countries. Furthermore, little is known about the underlying factors that influence the consumers in the property industryâ€™s intention to use online property websites. Therefore, it is the aim of the study to understand the elements that induce consumersâ€™ intention to use the online property websites by employing the technology acceptance model (TAM) as the theoretical model (Mardikyan et al., 2012). The model comprises three independent variables, namely the perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and perceived trustworthiness, while a consumersâ€™ intention to use the online property websites is chosen as the dependent variable. These variables and their association with each other are not only explored, but in future research, they will be empirically tested.

Published: January 2023

This study adopted a bibliometric analysis that aims to examine the current dynamics of nowcasting implementation in macroeconomics. All data are obtained from the Scopus database. Based on the keywords used, which are related to the nowcasting and macroeconomic words searching, where the terms appear in the title, keywords, or abstract, the study managed to obtain 231 documents for further analysis. We mapped the recent application of nowcasting in macroeconomics by analyzing the subsequent trends, publications status based on source title, country and institution, and used VOSviewer to examine the publication's citations pattern. We found that nowcasting has caught more and more attention for government institutions. Early studies have been done for developed countries for forecasting macroeconomic variables, and this trend is now expanding to developing countries. We conclude that the potential for nowcasting in improving the current macroeconomic situation for a country is high. The findings of this study will motivate researchers to evaluate the scientific area of nowcasting. With the government and institutional interest in this issue, researchers and practitioners should thoroughly analyze and pay attention to this research domain. The advanced financial techniques implemented in the nowcasting are expected to help manage considerable uncertainty in both the current and future international macroeconomic environments.

Пріоритети забезпечення конкурентоспроможності сільського господарства України на світових ринках
Authors: Patyka Nataliia
Published: January 2023

Мета статті – визначення сукупності пріоритетів щодо забезпечення конкурентоспроможності сільського господарства України на світових ринках.
Методологія / методика / підхід. Для діагностики тенденцій розвитку світового сільськогосподарського ринку використано економіко-статистичні методи (графічний метод, метод порівняння, кореляційно-регресійний і трендовий аналіз). За допомогою прийомів абстрактно-логічного методу та методу узагальнення виявлені основні закономірності прояву глобалізації в аграрному секторі та визначені пріоритети забезпечення конкурентоспроможності сільського господарства України.
Результати. За результатами проведеного аналізу динаміки розвитку світового ринку сільськогосподарських продуктів зроблено висновок, що спостерігається тенденція до його зростання, а також простежується тенденція щодо концентрації світової торгівлі сільськогосподарськими продуктами за окремими групами країн. Саме тому стратегія просування українських товарів на світові ринки має носити помірковано-агресивний, а подеколи й агресивний характер, а посилення позицій сільського господарства України на світових ринках потребує реалізації сукупності пріоритетів забезпечення його конкурентоспроможності.
Оригінальність / наукова новизна. Удосконалено сукупність пріоритетів щодо забезпечення конкурентоспроможності сільського господарства України на світових ринках і систематизовано їх за двома основними групами: ринково орієнтовані (формування експортоорієнтованої моделі розвитку сільського господарства, помірковано-агресивний характер просування українських товарів, забезпечення компліментарних ефектів виходу на світові ринки, створення нових нетрадиційних ринкових ніш, кон’юнктурне спрямування стратегій ринкового позиціонування та просування товарів) і виробничо орієнтовані (забезпечення інноваційного укладу діяльності, укрупнення й інтеграція товаровиробників в експортоорієнтованому сегменті, розвиток виробництва органічної продукції, оптимізація процесів вирощування ГМО на кормові й технічні цілі тощо).
Практична цінність / значущість. Визначення пріоритетів забезпечення конкурентоспроможності вітчизняного сільського господарства дозволить обґрунтувати методи та механізми реалізації політики щодо посилення його позицій на світових аграрних ринках.

Published: January 2023

Peu d’études comparent les adultes plus jeunes aux aînés quant aux séquelles cognitives et affectives après un traumatisme craniocérébral léger (TCCl). Celles qui l’ont fait présentent des résultats très variables concernant les symptômes anxio-dépressifs et les études sur le fonctionnement cognitif sont rares chez les aînés. Cette étude compare les symptômes dépressifs, anxieux et cognitifs perçus 12 mois après un TCCl chez des aînés et des adultes plus jeunes. 113 adultes de 18 à 64 ans et 57 personnes âgées de 65 ans et plus ont été évalués avec le Medical Outcomes Study Cognitive Functioning Scale (MOS-Cog) et le Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Les résultats suggèrent que les adultes plus jeunes ont davantage de symptômes anxieux (t(146,658) = 4,591, p < 0,001, d = 0,071) et des difficultés cognitives perçues plus importantes (t(168) = -2,491, p = 0,014, d = 0,445), mais aucune différence significative n’a été trouvée concernant les symptômes dépressifs (t(168) = 1,631, p = 0,105, d = 0,028). Les pressions plus grandes chez l’adulte plus jeune liées aux responsabilités familiales et occupationnelles pourraient expliquer partiellement ces symptômes. Ces résultats permettent de mieux cibler les particularités et les interventions spécifiques pour chaque groupe d’âge post-TCCl.
Association intergénérationnelle entre l’historique dépressif parental et les symptômes dépressifs des adolescents
Authors: Dubois-Sénéchal Sacha-Michelle , Geanta Oana , Terrault Zoé , Boivin Michel
Published: January 2023

Les taux de dépression augmentent significativement à l’adolescence. L’historique familial de dépression prédit l’apparition des symptômes dépressifs à l’adolescence, mais la majorité des études porte uniquement sur les mères dépressives et leur descendance. Le rôle du père est rarement documenté. La présente étude s’intéresse à l’association intergénérationnelle de l’historique de dépression des parents et des symptômes dépressifs des adolescents. À partir des données de l’Étude longitudinale du développement des enfants du Québec (ELDEQ), les données sur l’historique de dépression de 1495 mères et 1235 pères ainsi que celles sur les symptômes dépressifs de 1514 adolescents à 15 et à 17 ans sont recueillies. Une corrélation positive et significative est observée entre l’historique dépressif des parents et les symptômes dépressifs des adolescents. Selon l’appariement assortatif, une corrélation positive et significative est observée entre le score de dépression des deux parents. Les deux parents contribuent indépendamment à la prédiction des symptômes dépressifs des adolescents. Toutefois, aucun effet d’interaction n’est observé entre le sexe des parents et des adolescents sous la forme de dyades de même sexe. Les résultats obtenus constituent un premier pas vers la clarification des mécanismes sous-jacents à la transmission intergénérationnelle des symptômes dépressifs.

Characteristics of fine particle matter at the top of Shanghai Tower
Authors: Yin Changqin , Xu Jianming , Gao Wei , Pan Liang , Gu Yixuan , Fu Qingyan , Yang Fan
Published: January 2023

Abstract. To investigate the physical and chemical processes of
fine particle matter (PM) at the mid-upper planetary boundary layer (PBL), we
conducted 1-year continuous measurements of fine PM, the
chemical composition of non-refractory submicron aerosol (NR-PM1), and
some gas species (including sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and ozone) at an
opening observatory (∼ 600 m) at the top of Shanghai Tower
(SHT), which is China's first and the world's second highest building
located in the typical financial central business district of Shanghai,
China. This is the first report on the characteristics of fine particles
based on continuous and sophisticated online measurements at the mid-upper
level of the urban PBL. The observed PM2.5 and PM1 mass concentrations
at SHT were 25.5 ± 17.7 and 17.3 ± 11.7 µg m−3,
respectively. Organics, nitrate (NO3), and sulfate (SO4) occupied
the first three leading contributions to NR-PM1 at SHT, accounting for
35.8 %, 28.6 %, and 20.8 %, respectively. The lower PM2.5
concentration was observed at SHT by 16.4 % compared with that near the
surface during the observation period. It was attributed to the decreased
nighttime PM2.5 concentrations (29.4 % lower than the surface) at SHT in
all seasons due to the complete isolations from both emissions and gas
precursors near the surface. However, daytime PM2.5 concentrations at SHT
were 12.4 %–35.1 % higher than those near the surface from June to October,
resulted from unexpected larger PM2.5 levels during early to middle
afternoon at SHT than at the surface. We suppose the significant chemical
production of secondary aerosols existed in the mid-upper PBL, because strong
solar irradiance, adequate gas precursors (e.g., NOx), and lower temperature
were observed at SHT, favorable for both photochemical production and
gas-to-particle partitioning. This was further demonstrated by the
significant increasing rate of oxygenated organic aerosols and NO3
observed at SHT during 08:00–12:00 in spring (7.4 % h−1 and 12.9 % h−1), fall (9.3 % h−1 and 9.1 % h−1), and summer (13.0 % h−1 and 11.4 % h−1), which cannot be fully explained by
vertical mixing. It was noted that extremely high NO3 was observed at
SHT both in daytime and nighttime in winter, accounting for 37.2 % in
NR-PM1, suggesting the efficient pathway from heterogeneous and gas
oxidation formation. Therefore, we highlight the priority of NOx reduction in
Shanghai for the further improvement of air quality. This study reported
greater daytime PM2.5 concentrations at the height of 600 m in the urban
PBL compared with surface measurement, providing insight into their
potential effects on local air quality, radiation forcing, and cloud and/or fog
formations. We propose that the efficient production of secondary aerosol in the
mid-upper PBL should be cognized and explored more comprehensively by
synergetic observations in future.

Published: January 2023

Abstract. Carbon fluxes from agroecosystems contribute to the variability of the carbon cycle and atmospheric [CO2]. This study used the Integrated Science Assessment Model (ISAM) to investigate carbon fluxes and their variability in Indian spring wheat agroecosystems. First, ISAM was run in site-scale mode to validate GPP, TER, and NEP over an experimental spring wheat site in north India. When compared to flux-tower observations, the spring wheat module in ISAM outperformed the generic crop model. Following that, regional-scale runs were performed to simulate carbon fluxes across the country from 1980 to 2016. The results revealed that fluxes vary significantly across regions, owing primarily to differences in planting dates. Fluxes peak earlier in the country's eastern and central regions, where crops are planted earlier. During the study period, all fluxes show statistically significant increasing trends (p.01). GPP, NPP, Autotrophic Respiration (Ra), and Heterotrophic Respiration (Rh) increased at 1.272, 0.945, 0.579, 0.328, and 0.366 TgC/yr2, respectively. Numerical experiments were conducted to investigate how natural forcings such as changing temperature and [CO2] levels and agricultural management practices such as nitrogen fertilization and water availability could contribute to the rising trends. The experiments revealed that increasing [CO2], nitrogen fertilization, and irrigation water contributed to increased carbon fluxes, with nitrogen fertilization having the most significant effect.
Customized deep learning for precipitation bias correction and downscaling
Authors: Wang Fang , Tian Di , Carroll Mark
Published: January 2023

Abstract. Systematic biases and coarse resolutions are major limitations of
current precipitation datasets. Many deep learning (DL)-based studies have
been conducted for precipitation bias correction and downscaling. However,
it is still challenging for the current approaches to handle complex
features of hourly precipitation, resulting in the incapability of
reproducing small-scale features, such as extreme events. This study
developed a customized DL model by incorporating customized loss functions,
multitask learning and physically relevant covariates to bias correct and
downscale hourly precipitation data. We designed six scenarios to
systematically evaluate the added values of weighted loss functions,
multitask learning, and atmospheric covariates compared to the regular DL
and statistical approaches. The models were trained and tested using the
Modern-era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications version 2
(MERRA2) reanalysis and the Stage IV radar observations over the northern
coastal region of the Gulf of Mexico on an hourly time scale. We found that
all the scenarios with weighted loss functions performed notably better than
the other scenarios with conventional loss functions and a quantile
mapping-based approach at hourly, daily, and monthly time scales as well as
extremes. Multitask learning showed improved performance on capturing fine
features of extreme events and accounting for atmospheric covariates highly
improved model performance at hourly and aggregated time scales, while the
improvement is not as large as from weighted loss functions. We show that
the customized DL model can better downscale and bias correct hourly
precipitation datasets and provide improved precipitation estimates at fine
spatial and temporal resolutions where regular DL and statistical methods
experience challenges.
Scale Development Based on Item Response Theory: A Systematic Review
Authors: Kılıç Abdullah Faruk , Koyuncu İlhan , Uysal İbrahim
Published: January 2023

Classical test theory (CTT) and item response theory (IRT) are two fundamental approaches used in scale development research. Although CTT is the preferred methodology in scale development research in the Republic of Turkey, the IRT methodology has started to gain traction in recent years. In this study, we used the systematic review methodology to review scale development research in Turkey that used the IRT procedures. Results revealed that most of the studies were conducted in 2017. Most of the studies have a sufficient sample size. Exploratory factor analysis was used more than confirmatory factor analysis. Some studies failed to choose the proper IRT model, report and interpret item parameters, check IRT assumptions, and report and interpret information functions. We recommend some practical considerations to researchers in terms of IRT assumptions.

SM sites have helped spread information during a pandemic in a way that has never been done before in human history. However, when using SM platforms (SMP onwards) during a pandemic, there are many pros and cons. The development of vaccinations and other important medical advances are among the most notable in the world of healthcare. Their acceptance is minimal, and vaccine refusal and hesitancy severely threaten public health. Even though immunization has come a long way in the last century, the World Health Organisation says that some people still do not want to be vaccinated. Health information from different places, like the Internet and social media (SM onwards), can make people less likely to get vaccinated. As technology has improved, so has SM's global influence. Unlike traditional media, SM allows users to create and distribute content globally quickly. Users can pick and choose content streams, increasing ideological isolation. Anti-vaccination messages on these platforms pose severe risks to public health, such as a loss of trust in future vaccine development for new infections like SARS-CoV-2 for COVID-19 protection. In this paper, we look at how SM can spread fear about vaccines and how it can be used to help people learn more about health and trust in vaccinations.

Published: January 2023

Abstract

Objective: Vaginismus is one of the most common problems among patients who apply to the sexual health outpatient clinic. It is known that sexual problems are more common in migraine and tension-type headache patients. Furthermore, the frequency of depression and anxiety is higher in both vaginismus and chronic headache patients. This study was conducted in 2021 and examined the headache characteristics, depression and anxiety in vaginismus patients.

Material and methods: In this prospective study, 87 patients diagnosed with vaginismus in the sexual health outpatient clinic were interviewed. Fifty patients who agreed to participate in the study were questioned regarding headache, and Beck depression and Beck anxiety scales were applied.

Results: Headache was present in 46% (n:23) of 50 vaginismus patients. Anxiety scores of patients with headaches were higher than those without headaches (p=0.032). The most common type of headache was migraine without aura (60.9%), followed by tension-type headache (30.4%). Beck depression scores of the low-income group were higher than the high-income group (p=0.006). There was no significant correlation between monthly headache frequency, total headache duration, Beck depression score, and Beck anxiety score.

Conclusions: Headache is a common neurological symptom in vaginismus patients, and the frequency of migraine is higher than tension-type headaches. Anxiety values are higher in vaginismus patients experiencing a headache. Therefore, headache and anxiety should be considered in the follow-up and treatment of vaginismus patients.
Opioid Kullanım Bozukluğu arındırma sürecinde ağrının yönetimi: Konfor Kuramı ve Nörobilim temelinde bir yaklaşım
Authors: ÖLÇÜM Halil İbrahim , KARADERE Mehmet Emrah
Published: January 2023

Yasadışı opioid kullanımı son yıllarda giderek artmaktadır. Opioid Kullanım Bozukluğunda tedavi, arındırma ve sürdürüm olmak üzere iki aşamadan oluşmaktadır. Arındırma süreci yaklaşık bir hafta süren, yerine koyma tedavisini kapsar. Genellikle arındırma tedavisinin son evresinde kullanılan buprenorfin/nalokson kombinasyonunun azaltılarak kesilmesi ve sürdürüm tedavisinde kullanılacak olan naltrekson hidroklorür ilacına başlanması tercih edilmektedir. Bu geçiş sürecinde ağrı başta olmak üzere ortaya çıkabilen yoksunluk belirtilerinin etkin yönetilememesi, tedavide kalma ile ilişkilidir. Bu kritik süreçte izlem, ek ilaç desteği ve ilaç dışı müdahaleler ile hastanın tedavide kalmasını sağlamakta psikiyatri hemşirelerinin rolü önemlidir. Bu derleme çalışmasında arındırma sürecinde ağrı yönetimine konfor kuramı ve nörobilim temelinde bir yaklaşım getirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.

Objective: There are different criteria to diagnose polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) such as Rotterdam Consensus, Androgen Excess Society (AES), and National Institutes of Health (NIH). We aimed to investigate the biochemical and insulin resistance-related markers of PCOS patients according to different diagnostic criteria.

Material and methods: 1299 patients admitted to our clinic retrospectively analyzed. Following the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 200 patients with Rotterdam (Group 1), 182 patients with AES (Group 2), and 180 patients with NIH (Group 3) criteria were included in the study. Results: Waist/hip ratio among all groups (p1 = 0.002; p2 = 0.0001; p3 = 0.0001), LH/FSH ratio between Group 1 and 3 (p2=0.017), AST between Group 2 and 3 (p3 =0.012), DHEA-S and modified Ferriman–Gallwey score between Group 1 and 2 (p1 = 0.041; p1 = 0.013, respectively) and Group 1 and 3 (p2= 0.003; p2 = 0.04, respectively) were significantly different. A significant difference was detected between Group 1 and 3 in body mass index ≥ 25 (kg/m2) (p = 0.006). A significant difference was detected among all groups in waist circumference ≥ 88 cm (p1 = 0.0001, p2 = 0.0012, p3 = 0.004).

Conclusion: The rate of metabolic syndrome was found to be higher in patients diagnosed with Rotterdam criteria, the rate of insulin resistance with NIH criteria, and the rate of dyslipidemia with AES criteria. However, these differences were not statistically significant.

Published: January 2023

The study examines the socio-economic development of the regions from the point of view of the disproportions and balance of the competitive attractiveness of the regions of Russia. A method for calculating interregional and interfacial imbalances and the balance of regional development based on point estimates of competitive attractiveness is proposed. It is shown that the disproportions and balancing in terms of the competitive attractiveness of regions can be indicators of the quality of the development of the territory, and the evaluation results reflect the features, disadvantages and reserves of improving the efficiency of development by reducing the disproportions and increasing the balance of the factors of the competitive attractiveness of regions. A common disadvantage of regional development management is the lack of attention and effort in innovative development, which is reflected in significant interregional and interfacial imbalances of innovative development relative to other factors of competitive attractiveness. The calculations were carried out on the basis of official statistical data for 2020.

The focus on the introduction of modern technologies and international waste management practices allows us to improve the mechanisms of international business cooperation. Nevertheless, it is impossible to overcome the "garbage" crisis without the improvement of state policy in the field of environmental education and enlightenment, as well as strengthening the role of civil society in decision-making. The article discusses the key issues related to: the willingness of regions and the business community to implement measures to achieve the indicators of the national project "Ecology", the pricing of services for the disposal of MSW, waste recycling and obtaining secondary resources, the use of secondary resources, including the pro-spects of "extended producer responsibility" for formation of a closed-cycle economy in Russia.

Despite the fact that the area is in a long-term development, its prospects are closely related to the refinement of the geological structure and the study of the section of productive deposits. The complex tectonic structure of the structures located in the northwest of the Absheron archipelago does not allow for an accurate determination of the boundaries of the distribution of deposits, including the Qala suite. For this article, new structural maps were compiled based on a comparison of numerous geological and geophysical profiles and well logs. The areas of distribution of sedimentary deposits of QaS have been clarified, and drilling of an appraisal (exploratory) well 1202 has been proposed in order to clarify the tectonic structure of the area. Keywords: Reservoir; Sediment; Fault; Well; Block; Overthrust; Correlation.

The Zardab – Shikhbagi area is located on the northeastern slope of the Yevlag – Agjabedi depression and on the southeastern wing of the Saatli – Goychai uplift zone. Based on the conducted geological and geophysical, research and data from exploration drilling, it was established that in the geological structure of the Zardab-Shykhbagi area, deposits from Quaternary to Lower Cretaceous inclusive are involved. The article commented on some data from 3D seismic surveys carried out at Zardab - Shykhbagi and related fields. The changes in the parameters of seismic waves are analyzed on the basis of time and dynamic depth sections drawn up in different directions. In accordance with various stratigraphic sections, intervals were identified and they were interpreted. Based on the performed studies, the presence of favorable geological conditions for the formation of anticline and non–anticline traps, which can be considered promising from the point of view of oil and gas potential at the Zardab - Shikhbagi field, was predicted. Keywords: Seismic exploration; Oil and gas potential; Time section; Dynamic and deep section; Anticline and non-anticline traps.

The development of oil fields with the maintenance of reservoir pressure by pumping water without antibacterial preparation leads to widespread infection by microorganisms of oil-field waters that circulate in the res-ervoir system – surface equipment. In this aspect, it was interesting to conduct research on the identification and identification of microorgan-isms of metal destructors of field installations, as well as oil itself on specific microbiological media intended for various groups of microor-ganisms causing biocorrosion of pipelines. In this regard, the biocenosis of samples of water, oil, scrapers from oilfield pipelines, selected in dif-ferent seasons: winter, spring, summer, autumn, was studied. In order to solve the problem of eliminating corrosive processes caused by certain groups of microorganisms, the influence of a number of effective bacte-ricides on the viability of bacteria has been tested, recommendations for their use have been developed. Keywords: Aggressive envi-ronment;Biocenosis; Biocorrosion; Reagent; Recommendations.

A Flexible, Sloppy Blob?
Authors: Ross Don
Published: January 2023

Ladyman and Ross argue that analytic metaphysics is a misguided enterprise that should give way to a naturalized metaphysics that aims to reconcile everyday and special-scientific ontologies with fundamental physics as the authoritative source of knowledge on the general structure of the universe. Le Bihan and Barton (argue, as against this, that analytic metaphysics remains useful as a basis for the body of work in AI known as “applied ontology.” They stop short of claiming, however, that analytic metaphysics is useful as metaphysics. I consider a basis for making the stronger claim: Smith's project for building what he claims to be metaphysical foundations for applied ontology (and for AI generally). Ultimately, the stronger claim is rejected; but in the course of this dialectic new aspects of the naturalistic metaphysical project come to light, including relationships between it and the traditional metaphysical project of providing foundations for philosophical semantics of truth and reference.
Challenges to Persons with Disabilities in Pakistan: A Review of Literature
Authors: Hussain Sajjad , Alam Amir , Ullah Sana
Published: January 2023

This study is based on the review of available literature to explore the problems faced by persons with disabilities in Pakistan. However, only those persons were focused who were physically handicapped. In order to probe into the problems faced by this weaker section of society, different books, research papers, newspapers and online sources were extensively reviewed. The study summarizes that this marginalized section of society is faced with multiple problems, chief among them are education, health and employment. Owing to their disability and attitudinal problems from society, very few of them complete their education, and most of them drop out in the early levels of education. In addition, there is a lack of health facilities, due to which they are vulnerable to chronic diseases like COVID-19. The lack of education and lack of opportunities have created employment problems for them. The study recommends that persons with disabilities should be given educational opportunities as have been given to able-bodied persons. Furthermore, they should also be given jobs quota not only in government jobs rather in the private sector as well.
Naming in The Context of Ancient Cultural Schema: The Case of Canaanite And Phoenician Cultures
Authors: DİLEK Yeşim
Published: January 2023

The idea of a schema is viewed as an organic mechanism by which new experiences are combined with the old ones, and the idea of a schema is viewed as an active organization of previous responses and experiences. New experiences are typically explained to people as being alive, constantly evolving, and affected by each new emotional and cognitive input. While elaborating on this, it is known that all cultural, social, and personal accumulations or experiences are the most effective situations in the individual's memory for the acquisition of new knowledge and behavior. Rather than being formed by discrete, fragmented individual inputs, knowledge acquisition, memory, and behavior are all formed by a combination of these. When the cultural schema is applied in terms of ancient societies, it is possible to assess how those societies' lifestyles and sociocultural resources are reflected in other cultures. Many terms for Canaanite and Phoenician words were drawn from the ancient cultural schema. These phrases capture the Canaanite and Phoenician territories' cultural makeup, way of life, and economic might. The most striking of these are the words purple, merchant and Bible, meaning the Bible, the holy book of Christianity. The reflection of the Phoenicians in the cultural schema of the Greeks led them to name them. In the same way, the Canaanites, who are accepted as the ancestors of the Phoenicians in the Old Testament, are also reflected in the cultural schema of the Hebrews. The aim of this study is to examine the names given to Canaan and Phoenician cultures and phenomena in the cultural schema of Ancient Greek and Near Eastern societies within the framework of western and ancient sources.
Türkiye ve Rusya’da Sağlık Çalışanlarının Grev Hakkı Üstüne Bir Değerlendirme
Authors: RAFIZADE Najiba
Published: January 2023

Grev, 19. yüzyıldan itibaren işçilerin çalışma hayatında hak ve çıkarlarının ihlaline karşı mücadele yolu olarak görülmüştür. Böylece, sosyal ve ekonomik hakların en önemli bir parçası olan grev hakkının sağlanması işçileri, çalışma hayatında oluşabilecek her türlü hak ihlallerinden korumaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye ve Rusya’da sağlık çalışanlarının grev hakkının olup olmadığını incelemek ve eğer var ise grev hakkını kullanma düzeyini araştırmaktır. Çalışmada sağlık çalışanlarının katıldıkları grevlere ve eylemlere dair istatistikî verilere ulaşılamadığı için her iki ülkede de sağlık çalışanlarının greve ve eylemlere katılma oranı aktarılamamıştır. Araştırma dokümanter ve betimleyici bir yöntemle hazırlanmıştır. Araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre her iki ülkede sağlık çalışmaların grev hakkı farklı yasal düzenlemeler ile sınırlanmaktadır. Bu yasal düzenlemeler, ilk bakışta sağlık hakkı açısından kamu yararını koruyucu karakter taşımaktalar ise de irdelendiklerinde, başta grev hakkı olmak üzere bir dizi insan haklarını ihlal ettikleri söylenebilir. Çalışmada kamu sağlığının korunması amacıyla sağlık çalışanlarının greve katılmalarının tümüyle yasaklanması değil, bu hakkının kullanımının uygun ve dengeli biçimde düzenlenmesi önerilmektedir.
