‘Me, The Sea, Feeling Good’: An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis Exploring the Experience of Looking Out to Sea
Authors: Hurdman Sarah L. , Kampman Hanna
Published: November 2024

Against the backdrop of increasing urbanization and subsequent disconnection from nature, there has been growing interest in the role that spending time in natural environments can play in promoting well-being. However, most research to date has focused on the health potential of green spaces and neglected the relationship between blue spaces (bodies of inland and coastal water) and well-being outcomes. Studies have shown that spending more time by the sea, or living in close proximity to the coast, is linked with better mental and general health, but have typically neglected to consider how individuals may uniquely experience different types of urban nature. Hence, this study aimed to explore, in-depth, the lived experience of looking out to sea and how it may play a role in well-being.  Four self-selected females, living and working in a coastal city, were interviewed using semi-structured techniques. Interviews were recorded and transcribed; and data was analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Results revealed each had a strong and enduring bond with the sea as ‘part of self’, and as transcending the self. Looking out to sea was a multisensory, embodied experience that captivated them in the present, and was perceived to play an important role in the restoration and enhancement of their hedonic and eudemonic well-being.  As researchers and policy makers begin to understand potential links between loss of contact with nature and deteriorating public health, better understanding the relationship between the sea and well-being could have significant global value.

Authors: Syamsiah Syamsiah , Jamaluddin Asham Bin , Pratiwi Andi Citra
Published: November 2024

This research investigates the concurrent influence of educational background, spiritual beliefs, and media exposure on the environmental knowledge and attitudes. Utilizing a non-experimental, quantitative methodology, data were collected through structured questionnaires from 297 high school students at MAN Pangkep, Indonesia, a non-environmentally focused institution. The analysis used structural equation modeling to test the relationships between the studied variables. Results indicate significant positive correlations between educational background and both environmental knowledge and attitudes. Similarly, spiritual beliefs significantly influenced environmental attitudes, suggesting that integrating environmental stewardship into religious education could enhance commitment to environmental conservation. However, the influence of media exposure on environmental knowledge was not significant, highlighting the need for media to not only disseminate information but also to engage and form knowledge effectively. These findings underscore the importance of holistic educational approaches that incorporate environmental education into curricula to equip students with the necessary knowledge and attitudes to tackle environmental.

This paper, A Comparative Study of the Translated Arabic Versions of the Novel to the Lighthouse under Feminist Translation Theory, examines the influence of feminist translation theory on the interpretation of Virginia Woolf’s iconic novel. It focuses on two Arabic translations, both completed by female translators, to investigate how gender, cultural context, and personal experiences shape the depiction of Woolf’s female characters and the feminist themes central to her work. The study delves into the translators’ individual backgrounds and feminist ideologies, exploring how their perspectives and the sociocultural dynamics of the Arab world influence translation decisions. By analyzing shifts in language, tone, and narrative emphasis, it reveals how these translations navigate the challenges of preserving Woolf’s feminist voice while resonating within the framework of Arabic literary traditions. The paper also investigates the interplay between power relations, societal norms, and translation strategies, highlighting the translators’ efforts to balance fidelity to the original text with cultural relevance. It emphasizes the complexities involved in translating feminist viewpoints into a linguistic and cultural context where gender discourse often intersects with deeply rooted societal structures. Through this lens, the study underscores the transformative potential of feminist translation theory in reinterpreting literature, challenging patriarchal narratives, and enriching cross-cultural dialogue. By bridging feminist theory and translation studies, this research contributes valuable insights into the evolving role of gender in literary interpretation and cross-cultural communication.

This is exacerbated by the students and lecturers’ lack of familiarity with the hybrid learning system. Therefore, the aim of this research is to find a fair evaluation model for the lecturer’s competency that is suitable for the current hybrid learning approach. The data used in this research comes from questionnaires filled out by all students of Dian Nuswantoro University every year before the Final Semester Exam (UAS). The questionnaire consists of 10 questions regarding the hybrid learning process in the academic year of 2022/2023. Students provide their answers using a 4-point Likert scale, consisting of "Strongly Agree," "Agree," "Disagree," and "Strongly Disagree." The responses from students are grouped based on the courses/classes taught by the lecturers. The evaluation of lecturers’ competency is represented by two aspects: knowledge mastery and teaching skill. Each aspect of the lecturers’ evaluation consists of 5 questions in the questionnaire. The method used to evaluate the lecturers’ competency is the Decision Support System (DSS) algorithm combined with Simple Additive Weight (SAW). Result shows that students are mostly pleased with the quality of the lectures presented. Furthermore, lecturers with high evaluation scores tend to have a small number of students.
DOĞRUDAN YABANCI YATIRIMLARIN TEŞVİKİ BAKIMINDAN YABANCI TÜZEL KİŞİLERİN TÜRKİYE’DE TAŞINMAZ İKTİSABI

Doğrudan yabancı yatırımların, ülkelerin ekonomilerine ve gelişmelerine sağladığı katkılar dikkate alındığında pek çok devlet gibi Türkiye’nin de doğrudan yabancı yatırım çekmenin yollarını aradığı bir ortamda, doğrudan yabancı yatırım yapan yabancı şirketlerin, yabancı sermayeli şirketlerin ve uluslararası kuruluşların taşınmaz iktisabı önem arz etmektedir. Doğrudan Yabancı Yatırımlar Kanunu’na tabi yabancı tüzel kişilerin taşınmaz iktisabının, doğrudan yabancı yatırımların ülkeye çekilebilmesinde teşvik edici nitelikte olup olmadığı değerlendirilmektedir. Yabancı sermayeli şirketlerin faaliyetleri için gerekli olan taşınmazları iktisap etmelerinde, yetkili makamlardan izin alması yerine, Türk şirketleri ile aynı statüye tabi tutulmaları ya da yetkili makamlara bildirimde bulunmaları yönünde bir düzenleme, doğrudan yabancı yatırımların teşviki bakımından tercih edilmelidir.
ВИКОРИСТАННЯ МАЙБУТНІМИ УЧИТЕЛЯМИ ТЕХНОЛОГІЙ МЕЙКЕРСТВА В СФЕРІ ДЕКОРАТИВНО-ПРИКЛАДНОЇ ТВОРЧОСТІ У СОЦІАЛЬНИХ ПРОЄКТАХ

Актуальність дослідження полягає у необхідності навчання студентської молоді забезпеченню психологічної підтримки та соціальної інтеграції родин внутрішньо переміщених осіб через використання інноваційних методів, таких як мейкерство у сфері декоративно-прикладної творчості. В умовах військових дій в Україні та масового переміщення громадян, актуальним є пошук ефективних способів надання допомоги цій категорії населення, зокрема через творчість та освітні ініціативи. Основною метою дослідження було висвітлення практичного досвіду залучення студентів – майбутніх учителів технологій до використання мейкерства у сфері декоративно-прикладної творчості у роботі з родинами вимушених переселенців, а також аналіз ефективності цих підходів для зменшення рівня стресу та тривожності серед учасників. Використані методи дослідження включали аналіз та узагальнення наукової літератури, обробку та інтерпретацію результатів проведених заходів з мейкерства. Результати дослідження демонструють, що мейкерство у сфері декоративно-прикладної творчості є засобом арт-терапії, а мейкерські заходи є ефективними для соціальної інтеграції для родин внутрішньо переміщених осіб. Залучення до творчої діяльності в рамках мейкерських проєктів сприяє зниженню рівня стресу і тривожності серед учасників, підвищує їхню самооцінку. Досвід організації майстер-класів, воркшопів підтвердив, що процес спільного створення декоративних виробів не лише сприяє прояву творчого потенціалу і розвитку навичок, але й створює умови для формування нових соціальних зв'язків. Учасники таких заходів відзначають покращення емоційного стану і зниження відчуття соціальної ізоляції. Впровадження мейкерства у сфері декоративно-прикладної творчості в роботу з родинами внутрішньо переміщених осіб позитивно впливає на психологічний стан учасників, сприяє зниженню рівня стресу, підвищенню самооцінки та зміцненню соціальних зв'язків серед учасників. Студенти – майбутні учителі технологій здобули цінний досвід взаємодії з родинами вимушених переселенців, що дозволило їм удосконалити педагогічні навички у сфері технологічної освіти, продовжувати розвивати професійну компетентність.

Neutrophil granulocytes are a key player in host innate immunity and they provide antimicrobial protection also by NETosis, amongst other mechanisms. NETosis involves the formation of intricate web-like structures, composed of DNA-histone complexes and proteins released by activated neutrophils, commonly referred to as neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) with sticky and antimicrobial effects on extracellular pathogens. The dysregulation of neutrophils and NETosis may result in autoimmune diseases, due to the formation of autoantibodies, consequent exaggerated immune stimulation, overexpression of various molecules related to NETosis, and infiltration of cutaneous lesions with neutrophils and other immune cell populations. Furthermore, a neutrophil subpopulation was found to be strongly linked to the pathogenesis of these diseases. The interest in the implications of NETosis in autoimmunity has grown in the past years; researchers found new biomarkers and evaluated therapeutics targeted towards this cell death pathway correlated to psoriasis and autoimmunity. Thus, future studies are needed on this matter in order to increase the quality of life in autoimmune disease patients, as NETosis represents a promising therapeutic target. This review article aimed to thoroughly examine neutrophil functions and their association with NETosis in the context of autoimmune diseases, with a particular focus on psoriasis.
