Kriz Yönetimi ve Kriz İletişimi Bağlamında Sağlık Bakanlığının Covid 19 Aşı Teşvik Faaliyetlerinin Halkla İlişkiler Süreci Çerçevesinden Değerlendirilmesi
Authors: ÖZGÜR Ömer Faruk
Published: December 2022

Bu çalışmada tüm dünyayı küresel çapta etkileyen Covid 19 Salgını bir iletişim krizi olarak ele alınmış ve Sağlık Bakanlığı’nın Covid salgını boyunca krizi nasıl yönettiği özellikle “aşı teşvik” faaliyetleri bağlamında ele alınmıştır. Çalışmanın önemi açısından literatürde Covid salgını ve kriz yönetimi bağlamındaki çalışmaların çoğu Sağlık Bakanlığı’nın genel faaliyetlerine odaklanırken bu çalışmada daha özel bir alana bakılmış ve aşı karşıtlığını azaltmak adına Sağlık Bakanlığı’nın aşı teşviki için yapmış olduğu çalışmalar incelenmiştir. Çalışmada kavramsal çerçeve bölümünde kriz tanımları, krize sebep olan unsurlar, kriz yönetimi ve iletişimi alanında literatürde yapılmış çalışmalara değinilmiştir. Ardından Covid 19 ve Kriz Yönetimi ile alakalı literatürdeki çalışmalara değinilmiştir. İlerleyen bölümlerde Covid 19 Salgını halkla ilişkiler süreci bağlamında ele alınmıştır. Araştırma bölümünde ise Sağlık Bakanlığı’nın aşı teşvik çalışmaları halkla ilişkiler disiplini bağlamında analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmada vaka analizi (Case Study) tekniği kullanılmış ve bu bağlamda Sağlık Bakanlığı’nın aşı teşvik için yaptığı uygulamalar detaylı bir şekilde incelenmiştir. Özellikle Sağlık Bakanlığı’nın aşı teşvik faaliyetlerinin halkla ilişkiler süreci bağlamında doğru ve yanlışları analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgulardan yola çıkıldığında Sağlık Bakanlığı’nın aşı teşviki çalışmalarının bilgilendirme boyutu ile başarılı olduğu düşünülmektedir. Ancak Bakanlığın aşı teşvik faaliyetleri kapsamında hatalı olduğu yönlere de rastlanmıştır. Aşı teşviki için hazırlanan kamu spotlarında ünlü kullanımı ve verilen mesajlar doğru bulunurken, aşı teşvik kampanyasının genel olarak aşı karşıtlarının argümanlarına cevap veren aktif bir kampanyadan uzak daha çok pasif ve bilgilendirme temelli bir çerçevede hazırlandığı görülmüştür. Sağlık Bakanlığı’nın aşı teşvik faaliyetlerinin bütüncül bir şekilde “Araştırma, Planlama, Uygulama ve Değerlendirme” şeklindeki halkla ilişkiler sürecinin dört aşamasına uygun şekilde yürütülmesinin daha faydalı olacağı düşünülmektedir.

Published: December 2022

The main motivation for this project is to be very focused on processing votes and their candidates, voters, etc. The project also displays all available voting data, including vote counts, voters, and non-voters. The project is divided into his two parts:Admin Panel and Voter Panel. The main purpose of voting (in scenarios involving citizens of a particular country) is to find leaders of their choice. Problems associated with this include, but are not limited to, voter driving during elections, unsafe or inaccessible polling places, inadequate voting materials, and inexperienced staff. They will be trained on how to vote online before Election Day. This project is designed for a threat-free, user-centric online voting system. Elections can take place in her two ways: paper elections and automated elections .Automated voting is known as electronic voting. An online voting system can be called Internet voting because it takes place over the Internet. Electronic you to manually mark and count electronic cards containing all candidate symbols electronic. There are many different types of electronic voting systems today, including punch cards, marksens, and digital pen tally brings a new voting system that allows voting systems. Electronic voting makes it easier for voters to vote by providing choices on a voting display located on an electronic machine. A direct-record electronic voting machine provides a display that can be activated when a voter touches the display, consisting of mechanical and electro-optical buttons, software that accepts votes, and an image or icon on the display. E-voting is connected to a central voting system, accepting all votes directly and receiving updated records. A central voting system uses a constituency counting method that counts all votes from ballots at polling stations..
Elementos metacognitivos que emergem de uma intervenção didática no ensino de Física
Authors: Maman Andréia Spessatto de , Quartieri Marli Teresinha , Neide Italo Gabriel
Published: December 2022

Estudantes ingressantes no Ensino Superior têm apresentado lacunas em sua formação, em especial na área das Ciências Exatas. Nesta perspectiva, a metacognição pode ser uma forma de contribuir na aprendizagem destes estudantes. O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar a análise sobre ações de pensamento metacognitivo realizada em uma intervenção didática, com base nos elementos metacognitivos: pessoa, tarefa, estratégia, planificação, monitoração e avaliação. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa que foi desenvolvida, com 16 alunos, matriculados na disciplina de Física 1 de diferentes cursos de engenharia, em uma universidade localizada no interior do estado do Rio Grande do Sul/RS. Os aportes teóricos sustentam-se em estudos já realizados sobre a metacognição e aplicados ao ensino de Física. No que se refere aos instrumentos de coleta de dados, estes foram coletados de diferentes formas, a saber: questionários metacognitivos; diários de campo para registros da observação sistemática da professora/pesquisadora; gravação de áudio dos alunos, em pequenos grupos, durante a realização das atividades. Os dados foram analisados e organizados seguindo os elementos metacognitivos propostos por Flavell (1971) e Brown (1978) e interpretados por Rosa (2011). Para cada elemento metacognitivo foram estabelecidos balizadores que são ações que se referem a cada um dos elementos. Com a análise realizada foi possível verificar, com maior ou menor profundidade, os elementos metacognitivos que emergiram durante a aplicação do roteiro-guia, pois alguns alunos ainda não expressaram ou escreveram com clareza seu pensamento metacognitivo pois esse processo é longo e necessita de uma relação de confiança entre aluno e professor. Pode-se inferir que foi possível compreender a metacognição como aliada à promoção dos processos de ensino e de aprendizagem e verificou-se que os elementos metacognitivos (pessoa, tarefa, estratégia, planificação, monitoração e avaliação) precisam atuar juntos, pois se influenciam mutuamente no sentido de auxiliar na ativação do pensamento metacognitivo. Levar o aluno a refletir ao longo do processo de aprendizagem, promovendo o pensamento metacognitivo, é ensiná-lo a ser estratégico, aumentar sua consciência sobre as operações e decisões diante de um desafio ou escolha a ser feita, sendo autônomo.
Utilizing teachers to enhance student recovery through emergency educational programming: A case study analysis of Hurricane Maria
Authors: Wheeler, MS Monique , Donovan Fiona
Published: December 2022

Emergency educational programing after disasters contributes to the physical, cognitive, and psychological protection of students when they are at their most vulnerable. The Inter-Agency Network for Education in Emergencies Minimum Standards for Education in Emergencies framework details the need to incorporate specific domains throughout implementation and asserts that teachers and educational institutions play a significant role in supporting disaster-affected youth in the classroom. Following the detrimental impact of Hurricane Maria on Puerto Rico, teachers became critical agents for maintaining the well-being of children at school, so the goals of this analysis are to (1) examine teachers’ post-hurricane experiences to find out how the event impacted physical teaching environments and students’ learning capacity, (2) investigate how teachers adapted and developed lesson plans to facilitate students’ processing of the event, and (3) explore what resources, training, and emotional support teachers needed to continue their work in the classroom post-disaster. Findings reveal how teachers assumed the role of first responders to restore their physical learning spaces, improvised classroom activities, and discussions to aid in students’ cognitive and emotional recovery, and found ways to navigate and address the psychological needs of learners following this traumatic event. This research will contribute to an increased understanding of how teachers can be utilized to enhance students’ recovery through the successful implementation of emergency educational programing.
Infrastructure Financing for Climate Change Adaptation in Australia: Practitioners’ Perspectives
Authors: Gajanayake Akvan , Iyer-Raniga Usha
Published: December 2022

With increased climate-related risks and natural disasters, impacts on infrastructure assets are intensifying. As the need for adaptation actions increase, how finance is used to enable adaptation plays a vital role in the resilience of infrastructure.  This research aims to understand how infrastructure adaptation measures are carried out, focusing on how financing is used to aid such efforts. Exploratory interviews with infrastructure and finance practitioners from a broad range of organisations were conducted to understand the dynamics of how infrastructure adaptation occurs. The findings reveal that infrastructure agencies conduct adaptation activities to maintain the serviceability of assets under climate change risks, with most climate financing targeting mitigation rather than adaptation. Most actions are taken at individual asset or agency level with little collaboration across agencies and sectors. The results illustrate a need for a more holistic, systems-level approach to adaptation across the infrastructure sector in Australia.
Customary Land Tenure Values in Nagari Kayu Tanam, West Sumatra
Authors: Nasir Gamal Abdul , Saptomo Ade
Published: December 2022

The transfer of rights or transactions does not exist in customary land tenure because it is a common property; thus, it can never be transferred to another party. On the other hand, in the Minangkabau indigenous community, West Sumatra, there is a shift in the concept of ulayat land tenure that occurs through two forms of change with six values: religious-magical, self-existence, socio-kinship, cultures and customs, structural and socio-economic asset values. This research will present the concept of the customary land tenure, which is based on these values. The study uses the socio-legal method with sociological approaches, including historical and case approaches. This research shows that there has been a change in land tenure values, moving from communal ownership to individual ownership. There has been an interaction between the laws, the incorporation interaction. It becomes the right concept for the customary land tenure in the future.
Pedagogy matters: A framework for critical community-engaged courses in higher education
Authors: Coles-Ritchie Marilee , Power Cathleen A , Farrell Chelsea , Valerio Maria
Published: December 2022

This article describes specific pedagogical components of a community engagement project between students in a psychology course and youth at a juvenile justice centre (JJS). The purpose of the research was to illustrate how feminist and critical pedagogies can create reciprocal community engagement that provides a space for learning at both college and community sites. The researchers involved in this study included the professor of the Psychology of Women course, a senior college student who previously took the course, the JJS volunteer coordinator and an education professor. Together, they employed qualitative, single case study methodology in order to understand the complex social phenomena of this community-engaged course. The results demonstrate that lessons addressing social inequities are beneficial for youth in JJS and offer a way to alleviate the gap in gender-specific programming. They also create community and offer an empowerment lens. By explicitly focusing on the pedagogical choices of the partnership, this research contributes to an understanding of how critical community engagement can provide mutual benefits.

Oriental, Black, and White: The Formation of Racial Habits in American Theater
Authors: Lee Josephine
Published: December 2022

In this book, Josephine Lee looks at the intertwined racial representations of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century American theater. In minstrelsy, melodrama, vaudeville, and musicals, both white and African American performers enacted blackface characterizations alongside oriental stereotypes of opulence and deception, comic servitude, and exotic sexuality. Lee shows how blackface types were often associated with working-class masculinity and the development of a nativist white racial identity for European immigrants, while the oriental marked what was culturally coded as foreign, feminized, and ornamental. These conflicting racial connotations were often intermingled in actual stage performance, as stage productions contrasted nostalgic characterizations of plantation slavery with the figures of the despotic sultan, the seductive dancing girl, and the comic Chinese laundryman. African American performers also performed common oriental themes and characterizations, repurposing them for their own commentary on Black racial progress and aspiration. The juxtaposition of orientalism and black figuration became standard fare for American theatergoers at a historical moment in which the color line was rigidly policed. These interlocking cross-racial impersonations offer fascinating insights into habits of racial representation both inside and outside the theater.

Abstract. The high concentration of fine particles as well as gaseous pollutants makes polluted areas, such as the urban setting of North China Plain (NCP) of China, a different environment for NPF compared to many clean regions. Such conditions also hold for other polluted environments in this region, for instance, the rural area of NCP, yet the underlying mechanisms for NPF remain less understood owing to the limited observations of particles in the sub-3nm range. Comprehensive measurements, particularly covering the particle number size distribution down to 1.34 nm, were conducted at a rural background site of Gucheng (GC) in the North China Plain (NCP) from 12 November to 24 December in 2018. Five NPF events during the 39 effective days of measurements for the campaign were identified, with the mean particle nucleation rate (J1.34) and growth rate (GR1.34-2.4) were 29.1 cm-3·s-1 and 0.54 nm·h-1, respectively. During these five days, NPF concurrently occurred in an urban site in Beijing, indicating that NPF events during these days in this region might be a regional phenomena. This implies that H2SO4-amine nucleation, concluded for urban Beijing there, could also be the dominating mechanism for NPF at our rural site. The condensation sink or coagulation sink for the survival of newly-formed and small clusters are the dominating factor controlling the occurrence of NPF under current atmosphere, whereas the contribution from the available H2SO4 cannot be neglected, either. This feature is slightly different from that of urban Beijing, where CS mainly determines whether NPF takes place or not.
Atmospheric Distribution of HCN from Satellite Observations and 3-D Model Simulations

Published: December 2022

Abstract. We use a tracer version of the TOMCAT global 3-D chemical transport model to investigate the physical and chemical processes driving the abundance of hydrogen cyanide (HCN) in the troposphere and stratosphere over the period 2004–2016. The modelled HCN distribution is compared with version 4.1 of the Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment - Fourier Transform Spectrometer (ACE-FTS) HCN satellite data, which provides profiles up to around 42 km, and with ground-based column measurements from the Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change (NDACC). ACE-FTS has so far provided over 17 years of data, from 2004, which allow us to monitor both the seasonal and interannual variations of HCN and its transport through the atmosphere. In particular, by analysing the long time series, we are able to detect the effects on atmospheric composition of large wildfire events like those observed in 2006 and 2015 in Indonesia. Our 3-D model simulations confirm previous lower altitude balloon comparisons that the currently recommended NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) reaction rate coefficient of HCN with OH greatly overestimates the HCN loss. The use of the rate coefficient proposed by Kleinböhl et al. (2006) in combination with the HCN oxidation by O(1D) gives good agreement between ACE-FTS observations and the model. Furthermore, investigation of the individual photochemical loss terms shows that the reduction of the HCN mixing ratio with height in the middle stratosphere is mainly driven by the O(1D) sink with only a small contribution from reaction with OH. From comparisons of the model tracers with ground-based HCN observations we test the magnitude of the ocean sink in two different published schemes (Li et al. 2000, 2003). We find that in our 3-D model the two schemes produce HCN abundances which are very different to the NDACC observations but in different directions. A model HCN tracer using the Li et al. (2000) scheme overestimates the HCN concentration by almost a factor two, while a HCN tracer using the Li et al. (2003) scheme underestimates the observations by about one-third. To obtain good agreement between the model and observations we need to scale the magnitudes of the global ocean sinks by the factors of 0.25 and 2 for the schemes of Li et al. (2000) and Li et al. (2003), respectively. This work shows that the atmospheric photochemical sinks of HCN now appear well constrained but improvements are needed in parameterising the major ocean uptake sink.
Retrievals of XCO2, XCH4 and XCO from portable, near-infrared Fourier transform spectrometer solar observations in Antarctica
Authors: Pollard David F. , Hase Frank , Sha Mahesh Kumar , Dubravica Darko , Alberti Carlos , Smale Dan
Published: December 2022

Abstract. The COllaborative Carbon Column Observing Network (COCCON) uses low-resolution, portable EM27/SUN Fourier transform spectrometers (FTSs) to make retrievals of column-averaged dry-air mole fractions (DMFs, represented as Xgas) of CO2, CH4, CO and H2O from near-infrared solar absorption spectra. The COCCON has developed rapidly over recent years and complements the Total Carbon Column Observing Network (TCCON). In this work, we provide details of the first seasonal time series of near-infrared XCO2, XCH4 and XCO retrievals from measurements made in Antarctica during the deployment of an EM27/SUN to the Arrival Heights laboratory on Ross Island over the austral summer of 2019–2020 under the auspices of the COCCON. The DMFs of all three species were lower in Antarctica than at mid-latitude, and for XCO2 and XCO, the retrieved values were less variable. For XCH4 however, the variability was significantly greater and it was found that this was strongly correlated to the proximity of the polar vortex. In order to ensure the stability of the instrument and the traceability of the retrievals, side-by-side comparisons to the TCCON station at Lauder, New Zealand and retrievals of the instrument line shape (ILS) were made before and after the measurements in Antarctica. These indicate that, over the course of the deployment, the instrument stability was such that the change in retrieved XCO2 was well below 0.1 %. The value of these data for satellite validation is demonstrated by making comparisons with the TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) on the Sentinel-5 precursor (S5P) satellite. The dataset is available from the COCCON central facility hosted by the ESA Atmospheric Validation Data Centre (EVDC) https://doi.org/10.48477/coccon.pf10.arrivalheights.R02 (Pollard, 2021).

Translation, compromise, forgiveness. Exploring the role of original goodness in an ethics of capability
Authors: Daughton Amy
Published: December 2022

While Ricoeur’s argumentation is philosophical, the symbols of religion nevertheless form an integral part of what his work investigated, and represent a meeting point between conviction and critique. Recent work has considered how the symbol of an originally good creation can shed light on Ricoeur’s philosophy. This paper builds from that proposal by considering the significance of the original goodness of creation for Ricoeur’s ethics of capability: in translation; through disagreements and compromise across economies of worth; and in the exchanges of memory transcended by forgiveness. These models operate within an ethics of recognition, where the original goodness of creation can be detected in human plurality in itself, as a presupposed horizon to enable constructive disagreement, and in an orientation to the good as a possibility of human freedom.
Camp is for Everyone: Intentional Inclusion of Gender-Expansive Teens at Camp
Authors: Hall Ashley M. , Zemel Kimberly H.
Published: December 2022

Camp remains a powerful experience for youth of any age, but special care must be taken to ensure camps are supportive of diverse audiences. This article describes the process by which 4-H camp organizers created a welcoming and affirming camp for teen dependents of active duty, retired, or veteran military personnel, especially those campers who identified as non-binary or LGBTQ+. This included careful consideration of language used in recruitment documents, evaluation documents, volunteer and staff training, as well as communication with campers and families. Through careful planning and implementation, the 4-H adventure camps engaged over 90 teens, and survey results showed statistically significant improvements in camper perceptions of self-worth and satisfaction after their camp experience.
The Key to Engaging Every Student: Building Greater Linkages Between National, State, and Local System Leaders
Authors: Oravec Hillary Hardt , McLaughlin Brenda
Published: December 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic illuminated how essential summer and after-school programs are for youth and their families. Policymakers took note of the needs and the evidence base, and prioritized stimulus funding to expand access and accelerate learning. American Rescue Plan (ARP) and Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) funds were quickly released to schools through different mechanisms, initially prioritizing speed over infrastructure design. The funds were intended to fuel robust school–community partnerships to provide students who suffered from pandemic-related learning and developmental setbacks with comprehensive, high-quality programming; yet the timeline for planning and implementation often hindered progress toward that vision. This article discusses the challenges to scaling critical services, the strategies that states and partners are putting into place, and opportunities to strengthen relationships and infrastructure at the national, state, and regional or local level.
The role of environment in the evolution and fate of distant galaxies
Authors:   , Hartzenberg Georgia
Published: December 2022

This thesis investigated the relationship between galaxy evolution and environment when the universe was approximately 3.2 to 1.4 billion years old. This project used data from the FourStar Galaxy Evolution (ZFOURGE) survey, and the previously developed seventh nearest neighbour metric to find and quantify distant galaxy environments. By using various galaxy properties (e.g. quiescence, dustiness, star formation activity), this thesis finds evidence that the local galaxy evolution-environment correlation appears to be present in the early universe at approximately 2.7 billion years old. This thesis presents encouraging results for the future of early galaxy evolution studies.
Tracing Our Lineage: Molecular Contributions to the Construction of the Human Phylogeny
Authors: Stringer Randa
Published: December 2022

One of the most novel and important contributions to biological anthropology in the last two decades has been the implementation of the techniques of molecular genetics to address some of the field’s fundamental debates. The ordering of the extant hominids into monophyletic clades has long been a source of contention, with human-chimpanzee, human-gorilla, and human-orangutan clades being proposed in various studies. An expanding genetic analysis culminating in over 20,000 sequence alignments of all extant hominids has shown that chimpanzees and humans form a monophyletic clade, the closest relative of which is the gorilla. Since the discovery of the first Neandertal specimens there has also been a sometimes vicious dichotomy between those that advocate interbreeding between modern humans and Neandertals (The Multiregional Continuity Model), and those who maintain that modern humans replaced all other hominids with absolutely no interbreeding (The Recent African Origin Model). Analysis of mitochondrial DNA accompanied by a draft sequence of the Neandertal nuclear genome has called into question the validity of both paradigms and promoted the emergence of a compromise in the form of The Partial Replacement Model. Finally, the debate on the division of the human species into geographic races has been raging for centuries. Genetic comparisons between populations demonstrate that the total amount of human variation is in fact very small and provides no basis for the concept of biologically distinct races. The contributions of molecular genetics to biological anthropology are inestimable and will only continue to increase as technological advances are made.
Power Relations and its Influence in the Sphere of Globalization since World War II
Authors: Baillie Colin
Published: December 2022

Although the movement of technology, information, ideas and money is not new, it has been influencing human social behaviour at an ever increasing rate by the process of globalization. Power relations in the form of a centre-periphery relationship, cultural homogenization and cultural hybridization are investigated to examine their impact on cultural exchange within the context of globalization. A centre-periphery relationship has arisen since World War II that places the United States of America at the centre and all other nation-states on the periphery. This relationship creates an unequal power dynamic that allows cultural phenomena to diffuse from the centre out to the periphery, thereby reinforcing particular ideas including capitalism and institutional development. A culture is said to be homogenized when it has become standardized around a common set of cultural traits. This process, also referred to as “Americanization”, allows for the manipulation of behaviour, an example being the use of American textbooks in Bahamian schools. The hybridization of cultures results from the incorporation of cultural elements into one’s own culture through some type of exchange. This structure of power supports the unequal exchange that no longer requires close spatiotemporal distance. Mbuti pygmies, for example, have dramatically changed the way they interact with their environment, opting instead for wage labour and the use of modern technology. Recognizing these processes that occur through unequal power relations has implications for marking cultural boundaries, ethnographic study and the destruction of particular elements of culture. Further research should focus on how power relations are benefiting or eroding the quality of life of individuals.
The Red-Haired Chimpanzee: Integrated Conservation and Development, Engagement, and (Mis)understandings in Hoima District, western Uganda
Authors: Slowka Steven
Published: December 2022

Drawing on research completed in seven villages in Hoima District, western Uganda, in 2013, this paper explores the social complexities inherent to integrated conservation and development projects orchestrated by transnational ENGOs in developing countries. I frame this exploration through a discussion of a story from my fieldwork - the sighting of a "red-haired" chimpanzee - and use it as a metaphor to encompass the ways in which groups of people involved in such conservation and development work think about, act towards, and "other" one another. Moreover, this paper explores the role that anthropologists can assume in articulating the implications of, and mediating, these complicated misunderstandings.
Mating Behavior in Australopithecus and Early Homo: A Review of The Diagnostic Potential of Dental Dimorphism.
Authors: Werner Joseph
Published: December 2022

Dental dimorphism is one of the primary means by which the mating systems of extinct hominins are studied. Its use has been particularly significant for describing the behaviors of Australopithecus and early Homo, and consequently the factors involved in the evolution of our own species. Analysis however, has tended to produce ambiguous and contrasting results, with no firm agreement as to what mating strategies these genera practiced. Interpretation is confounded by numerous problems such as a generally poor understanding of how dental dimorphism develops in primates, and what factors influence its expression. It is also not well known how these factors interact with different aspects of the dentition and to what relative extent these aspects are diagnostic of mating behavior. The failure in many cases to firmly establish the sex of fossil specimens has likewise hampered the interpretations of sexual dimorphism and by extension, mating behavior. Lastly, the ability to correlate dental dimorphism with mating systems, even in living primates, has met with only moderate success. For these reasons it is argued that dental dimorphism be used only to support the most general assertions about hominin social behavior.
Frontier Wars: Violence and Space in Belfast, Northern Ireland
Authors: Boulton Jack
Published: December 2022

Belfast seems well known as a violent city; it has experienced a long history of turmoil related to the British invasion and subsequent division based on ethnicity as seen through religion. Although the profile of the city has improved, meaning rising tourism and income, the Belfast Agreement of 1998, as well as divisions between ethnicities continues to haunt the city despite an apparent end to violence, fighting and paramilitary activity. This paper explores the relationship between violence and space as exemplified in Belfast through the ‘peacelines’ which stand in interface zones between Catholic and Protestant residential areas. As well as being physical barriers, the peacelines are also symbolic of segregation as it manifests itself in other ways; through the ways in which people move through space and the ways in which bodies and identity are reflections of the city. The process of gentrification is also explored in the context of Belfast, with recent literature suggesting that class conflict exists alongside ethnic conflict.
Behind the Map: Crises and Crisis Collectives in High-Tech Actions
Authors: Gedeon Achi Fiona
Published: December 2022

Abstract: Over the five last years, crisis mapping has gained wide popularity in the humanitarian world with collaboration between crisis mappers and the UN on several emergency projects. Crisis mapping relies on interactive maps to monitor both incidents and resources in settings undergoing a “crisis” (political, environmental, etc). Focusing on one case study (the monitoring of violence during the 2011 elections in the Democratic Republic of Congo) and building on several interviews conducted with leading crisis mappers and project coordinators, this paper shows that the deep significance of crisis mapping cannot be grasped through an understanding of the goals and success or failure of its projects. It is rather to be found in the space of collaboration brought forth by the coordination of the deployments which generates a new manner of “being in crisis”—understood both as being in a crisis and the state of crisis.
Out of Sight, In Mind: Cell-phones and the Reconnection of the Iraqi Diaspora with a (Home)land
Authors: Majeed Abdulla
Published: December 2022

It was only after the invasion of 2003 and the gradual collapse of the Iraqi state that cellphones began to surface on Iraq's public market, for they have been previously banned by the regime of Saddam Hussein. This fairly recent breakage of the digital barrier rendered Iraq at the time as one of the most promising ICTs markets in the Middle East, with critical consequences on the larger Iraqi society, particularly since it also saw the introduction of the previously banned Internet. Using personal experience, as well as interviews with Iraqis from Baghdad, this paper argues that Iraqis creatively employed, and continue to employ, ICTs and Cellphones not merely as a tool of reconnection between the Iraqi diaspora and the homeland (and vice versa), continuously reconstructing their national identities, but also as tool of survival and risk assessment for Iraqis on the inside. This is of particular importance since the devastating consequences of the 2003 invasion and occupation of Iraq are still evident on the Iraqi social, urban, and political space until this day.
Bioarchaeological Sampling Strategies: Reflection on First Sampling Experience at the Templo Mayor Museum in Mexico City
Authors: Moreiras Reynaga Diana
Published: December 2022

Given that sampling strategies and protocols in bioarchaeology are rarely discussed in the literature, this paper is an attempt at reflecting upon the skeletal sampling process (e.g., preparation period, development of strategies and protocols, decision-making process, collaboration with those involved) as well as provide some considerations that may be useful to other junior researchers carrying out their sampling within the realm of bioarchaeology (also may be applicable to other research fields that engage in sampling specimens from museum collections). I provide the considerations about human bone and teeth as it pertains to stable isotope analysis from the literature and then move to discuss my sampling process experience: the preparation period, the sampling process, and the sampling map I developed as an initial guide in the field. Finally, I discuss the main considerations I found helpful in the field which overall involve: 1) Familiarity with the skeletal collections; 2) Constant communication and participant collaboration with those involved in the process; 3) Establishing a feasible sampling protocol well-founded on research questions and biochemical analysis planned as a guide in the field but flexible and open to changes; 4) Handling administrative and logistical aspects of the process well in advance of the sampling visit, and 5) Continual awareness that while as researchers we value skeletal collections in a scientific manner, these also may have other kind of value to others so we must treat these collections with outmost respect at all times (i.e., when discussing, sampling, analyzing, interpreting, and disseminating our research).
Teoriler Işığında Devletin Dönüşümü ve COVID-19 Sonrası Dünyadaki Durumu: Sosyolojik Bir Yaklaşım
Authors: ALBAYRAK Özlem , OKTİK Nurgün
Published: December 2022

Çalışmada tarih boyunca toplumsal yapıyla paralel şekilde değişerek günümüze gelmiş olan devlet, sosyoloji teorileri eşliğinde incelenmekte ve pandeminin devletlerde neden olduğu değişim ele alınmaktadır. Bu nedenle çalışmanın amacı, genelde devletin dönüşümünü sosyoloji teorileri eşliğinde ortaya koymak, özelde ise post-COVID dünyada devlet egemenliğinin geleceğini tartışmaktır. Devlet, modern dönemlerden bugüne çeşitli şekiller almış, Refah Devleti döneminde güçlenerek, küreselleşme döneminde ise zayıflayarak günümüze ulaşmıştır. Küresel COVID-19 tecrübesi ise, ulus-devletin yeniden güçlenmesine zemin hazırlamıştır. Bu durum ise, devletin durumu konusunda kesin yargı ve kabullere yer olmadığını göstermiştir. Gelinen noktada, güçlenen ulus-devletin, yeni küresellik biçimlerine mi kapı aralayacağı, yoksa neo-feodal bir topluma ve tiranlığa mı neden olacağı konuları ise pandemi sonrası dünyada sosyal bilimlerde ortaya çıkan yeni tartışmaları oluşturmaktadır. COVID-19 sonrası dünyada ulus-devletin hem sosyal ve kamusal özelliklerini güçlü şekilde koruyan, hem de demokrasi için yeni uzlaşma zeminleri yaratacak, esnek bir yapıda olması gerekliliği ise, bu makalenin içeriğini oluşturmaktadır.
Max Weber’den Peter Ludwig Berger’e: Din Sosyolojisi Bağlamında Sekülerleşme Teorisi
Authors: MAVİ İbrahim
Published: December 2022

İnsanlık tarihinin her döneminde insanlar bir kutsala inanma ihtiyacı duymuşlardır. İlkel dönem inanç şekilleri, mitolojik öğeler ve ritüellerden, semavi dinlere kadar insanların hayatı anlamlandırma süreci din mefhumunun bir parçası olarak devam etmiştir. Aynı şekilde tek tanrılı dinlerin ortaya çıkışıyla dinin toplumdaki önemi artmıştır. Her ne kadar modern dönem bilimsel gelişmeler çerçevesinde “tanrının ölümü” “rasyonelleşme” “sekülerleşme” ile dinin etkisinin azalacağı veya ortadan kalkacağı tartışmaları artmışsa da insanların inanç arayışı sürekli devam etmiştir. Günümüzde bu sürecin değiştiğine/değişeceğine dair birçok teori ortaya çıkmıştır. Din sosyolojisinin de ilgi alanına giren bu tartışmalardan biri sekülerleşme teorisidir. Weber’in rasyonelleşme kavramıyla başlayan bu süreç Berger’in sekülerleşme teorisiyle yeni tartışmaları beraberinde getirmiştir. Bu çalışmada din sosyolojisine katkı sunan klasik sosyoloji kuramcılarından Max Weber’in rasyonelleşme ve din sosyolojisi yaklaşımı ile çağdaş din sosyolojisine katkı sunan Peter Ludwig Berger’in sekülerleşme teorisi ele alınmaktadır. Bu bağlamda Weber’in düzen, toplumsal eylem ve rasyonelleşme kavramları ile kapitalizm ve Protestanlık çerçevesinde din-toplum ilişkisine dair düşünceleri üzerinde durulmaktadır. Weber’in dünyanın büyüsünün bozulması olarak nitelediği süreç, dinin toplumsal hayattaki yerinin değiştiğine dair ilk tartışmalar arasında yer almıştır. Aynı şekilde çağdaş din sosyolojisine ve bilgi sosyolojisine katkı sunan Berger’in din, bilgi sosyolojisi, toplumsal gerçekliğin inşası yaklaşımları çevresinde geliştirdiği sekülerleşme teorisi de bu tartışmalarda güncelliğini korumaktadır. Bu iki düşünürün görüşleri çerçevesinde sekülerleşme teorisine katkı sunulması amaçlanmaktadır. Ayrıca dinin kilise vb. tek bir kurumdan değil uzmanlaşmış farklı kurumlardan edinildiği ve çoğullaştığına yönelik tartışmalar da literatür tarama yöntemiyle analiz edilmektedir.

Authors: De Oliveira Fernandes Pinheiro Fabiola , Crespo Corvisier Fernando
Published: December 2022

José Antônio Rezende de Almeida Prado (1943-2010), um dos mais prolíficos e importantes compositores brasileiros da segunda metade do século XX e início do século XXI, deixou um significativo legado em obras para piano. Na sua produção, chama a atenção a frequência em que a religiosidade católica, uma temática muito cara ao compositor, aparece. Católico praticante, Almeida Prado busca sentido religioso em toda a sua obra. Neste artigo, discutiremos aspectos que motivaram esta abordagem temática, e suas obras pianísticas que seguem esta proposta.
Creativity level of students in the course of collaborative flute jamming
Authors: Li Yang
Published: December 2022

The key objective of the research is to determine a correlation between the level of creativity of students and their experience of jamming in groups on the basis of pre- and post-tests. A total of 260 respondents were divided into control and experimental groups (130 people each). In the course of the research, the students took a creativity test in the first, second, and third weeks of the experiment. Students from the experimental group rated the jamming process extremely positively. In particular, they reported that these practices improve mood and musical skills. The results obtained can be useful in the field of psychology and musicology and also serve as an argument for the introduction of jam sessions into the curriculum of higher educational institutions.
Postmodernism in Ukrainian music: “Quiet Songs” by Valentyn Silvestrov
Authors: Zhukov Vasyl , Lisunova Lyudmila , Mei Fang , Wang Yingzhi
Published: December 2022

The article is devoted to the analysis of the vocal cycle of the modern Ukrainian composer "Quiet Songs", which is considered in the context of Ukrainian music of the 1970s. The main features of its poetics as a transitional phenomenon between avant-garde and postmodernism are revealed: meditativeness, uncertainty, blurring of the composition, variability of the rhythmic structure, intertextuality, polystylistic, reflexivity, self-absorption, etc. It is concluded that Silvestrov went through a complex evolution from avant-garde experiments to quiet simplicity, to small vocal form and poetics of introspection. He created a sound model of the world, immersed in contemplation and reflection, understood as the path of self-awareness, tragic and beautiful at the same time.
Musical Style of Composer Chu Wanghua: the Role of Traditional Compositional Components of Chinese Folk Music in ‘Yellow River’ Piano Concerto
Authors: Sun Zhonghua
Published: December 2022

The paper addresses the characteristic features of the musical style of Chu Wanghua, the Chinese composer, using his ‘Yellow River’ piano concerto as an example.  The comparison revealed that the focus on the scope of Western European music, the imitation of the structure of ethnic musical instruments through piano playing, the combination of ancient folk music and contemporary compositional techniques, the use of traditional transcriptions, symbolism are typical elements of the ‘Yellow River’ performance.  Further research might address comparative analysis between traditional Chinese elements and Western European elements, which are peculiar to the composition under study.
Emotional expression in vocal skill from the perspective of multiculturalism
Authors: Wang Di
Published: December 2022

The research is devoted to study the influence of emotional singing on the listeners' perception of vocal mastery in the process of intercultural musical dialogue. In the context of studying the influence of emotional singing on the quality of perception by listeners, an experiment was conducted; it involved 11 student vocalists from China, Russia, Italy, Brazil, Azerbaijan, Hungary, Greece, India, Canada, Korea, Nigeria, 5 independent listeners, and 5 music experts. The analytical experiment created an opportunity to reveal the impact of the vocalist's emotional expression when performing a national folk song on the listener perception. The percentage of coherence between emotional production and listener perception ranged from 62.8% to 76.2%. Vocal skills of a singer can reveal the emotional aspects of a piece of music to the public, which are of great value in contemporary art; they determine the popularity of a performer on the world stage.
What music teacher will I be? A case study on the teaching philosophies of last-year pre-service Swedish music teachers
Authors: Mateos-Moreno Daniel
Published: December 2022

Written teaching philosophies are a common part of applications for music teaching positions. However, their contents are not commonly addressed in the music-education research literature. At the present study, I aim to explore the beliefs in practicing the profession as expressed in those statements and based on the case of last-year pre-service music teachers at a Swedish university. The results showed four different areas of concern: methodology-related, self-related, curriculum-related and student-related aspects. Furthermore, I discuss the impossibility to classify the underlying philosophies within the traditional ones in music education and the implications for the professional world.
