Authors: Winiarska-Mieczan Anna , Kwiecień Małgorzata , Jachimowicz-Rogowska Karolina , Muszyński Siemowit , Tomaszewska Ewa
Published: September 2022

The intestinal structure and gut microbiota are essential for the animals’ health. Chemical components taken with food provide the right environment for a specific microbiome which, together with its metabolites and the products of digestion, create an environment, which in turn affects the population size of specific bacteria. Disturbances in the composition of the gut microbiota can be a reason for the malformation of guts, which has a decisive impact on the animal’s health. This review aimed to analyse scientific literature, published over the past 20 years, concerning the effect of nutritional factors on gut health, determined by the intestinal structure and microbiota of monogastric animals. Several topics have been investigated: bioactive compounds (probiotics, prebiotics, organic acids, and herbal active substances), antibiotics and heavy metals (essential minerals and toxic heavy metals).

As an abundant source of antioxidants and diet flavor enhancers, the plant essential oils can have positive effects on fish growth, and resistance against environmental stressors. In this study, garden thyme (Thymus vulgaris) essential oil (TEO) was used in the diet of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, to evaluate its protective effect against malathion pesticide exposure. Tested fish (19.99±0.01 g) were divided into six groups (three replicates), namely: T1: control diet; T2: control diet + 0.025 mg L−1 malathion; T3: control diet + 0.075 mg L−1 malathion; T4: control diet + 1% TEO; T5: control diet + 0.025 mg L−1 malathion + 1% TEO and T6: control diet + 0.075 mg L−1 malathion + 1% TEO. After 21 days, T4 fish had the highest final body weight (FW), weight gain (WG), specific growth rate (SGR), and the lowest feed conversion ratio (FCR) among experimental treatments (P<0.05). The blood parameters including the red blood cells (RBC), white blood cell count (WBC), hematocrit (Hct), and hemoglobin (Hb) values were the highest in T4 treatment, displaying a significant difference with T1 treatment (P<0.05). Fish in the T4 groups had the highest total protein (TP) and albumin (ALB), while fish of T3 showed the lowest levels of these parameters (P<0.05) and also had the highest level of triglycerides (TRG), cholesterol (CHOL), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and urea (Ur). Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) enzymes recorded the lowest levels in T4 treatment, which showed a significant difference with T1 group. The catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) showed the highest activities in T4 treatment, while the lowest SOD and the highest malondialdehyde (MDA) levels occurred in T3 group (P<0.05). Total immunoglobulin (total Ig) level, alternative complement (ACH50) and lysozyme in the serum and skin mucus of T4 treatment of rainbow trout showed the highest activities with a significant difference from groups (P<0.05). From the results of the present study, it can be concluded that 1% of T. vulgaris as a supplement to the diet of rainbow trout can stimulate and improve the immune system of the fish. TEO can have a protective effect against unfavorable effects of malathion and improves the growth of the fish.

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of dietary supplementation with black cumin seed meal on growth performance parameters, coccidia oocyst counts, plasma biochemical parameters and cecal fermentation processes in growing rabbits. A total of 40 male Californian rabbits at 35 days of age were divided into two feeding groups: Control (complete rabbit diet) and Black cumin (2% of the complete diet was replaced with black cumin seed meal). Dietary supplementation with black cumin did not affect growth performance parameters, but it reduced coccidia oocyst counts in the feces of 63-day-old rabbits. Increased liver weight and elevated plasma albumin levels were noted in these rabbits. A significant decrease in small intestinal digesta viscosity was also observed in rabbits fed a diet supplemented with black cumin seed meal. The above change suppressed the formation of putrefactive compounds, i.e. ammonia and branched short-chain fatty acids (SCFA s) in the cecum, but it did not decrease the production of major SCFA s, i.e. acetic, propionic and butyric acids. The current study demonstrated that the dietary addition of 2% black cumin seed meal exerted a modulatory effect on gastrointestinal function, but it did not compromise microbial enzyme activity or SCFA production in the cecum.
Training during recessions: recent European evidence
Authors: Bertoni Marco , Brunello Giorgio
Published: September 2022

We use European Union Labour Force Survey data for the period 2005–2018 to investigate the cyclicality of training in Europe. Consistent with the view that firms use recessions as times to update skills, we find that training participation is moderately countercyclical for the employed. Within the not-employed group, this is true also for the unemployed, who are likely to be involved in public training programs during recessions, but not for the inactive, who may be affected by liquidity constraints.

Published: September 2022

Background: Teratomas are embryonic neoplasms. However, mediastinal tumor in the pediatric age group is uncommon with diverse surgical approaches
Case presentation: In the study, we report a case of a 2-year-old female who has a mediastinal benign mature teratoma that was successfully treated surgically. She presented to the hospital with shortness of breath and fever of 2 days duration. A chest X-ray indicated massive mediastinal masses, The lab result showed a high level of C-reactive protein, and low albumin, while beta- human chorionic gonadotropin and alpha-fetoprotein were within normal limits. Contrast computed tomography (CT) indicated a large peripherally increasing cystic mass. A median sternotomy was performed on the patient without any complications.
Conclusion: Teratomas are true neoplasms composed of tissues from all three germinal layers that occur rarely in the mediastinum. Teratomas can be diagnosed via imaging, such as contrast-enhanced CT. full surgical excision is the recommended course of treatment for mediastinal benign maturity.

The back-sheet shields the solar panel from UV rays, moisture, dust, and other environmental factors. With the enormous growth of the solar industry year after year, the demand for recycling is also increasing rapidly. In the present study, the back-sheet layer was extracted from a waste crystalline silicon PV module by thermally heating the module at 130˚C temperature. Various characterization techniques, including Raman, FTIR, SEM-EDAX, XRD, and TGA, were used to examine extracted back-sheet layer properties for its reuse. The Raman and FTIR spectra of extracted back-sheet are quite similar to those of reference PET back-sheet, indicating that no significant changes in composition occurred during the extraction process. The extracted back-sheet has a composition of carbon and oxygen as witnessed from EDAX spectroscopy. The extracted back sheet maintained its semicrystalline behavior as that of the reference back sheet, observed by XRD spectroscopy. Thermogravimetric analysis revealed that the thermal stability of extracted back-sheet is up to 252˚C in the air environment and up to 315˚C in the inert environment. Thermal degradation of extracted back-sheet is a two-step process in an air environment observed by differential thermogravimetry. The observed properties of extracted back-sheet are comparable to those of commercially available back-sheet, and the same may be reused in solar and polymer industries after appropriate processing.

Financial innovations have been and remain an integral part of the economic development of countries in recent dec-ades. The need for effective tools and technologies that would allow hedging, managing the market risks, which ultimately affected rapid emergence of new financial instruments, trading mechanisms and technologies has significantly increased. Their use accelerates new financial relationships that can solve these problems.The main purpose of the article is to deepen theoretical provisions of the securitization process of financial assets, fea-tures and reasons for its dissemination in economic processes.There are different approaches to determining the essence of securitization of financial assets. The securitization in the narrow sense has two types –securitization of assets (bonds issue on the basis of mortgage or consumer loans, debts on cred-it cards) and securitization of liabilities (issuing to depositors of bonds of the domestic state currency loan or bank billsin-stead of funds). It has been proved that securitization of assets has been the most widespread. The author’s interpretation of the securitization of financial assets as an innovative form of financing, which involves obtaining profits by financial institu-tions from the sale of a pool of financial assets generating stable cash flow, specially created legal entity that will issue secu-rities with new properties and forms of collateral has been submitted. With the financial market development, new trends, tools and processes appear that allow to activate the market, strengthen financial capabilities of market participants, in-crease their liquidity. The main trends in the financial market development are globalization and dissemination. There are several approaches to explaining the occurrence of securitization. Most often, its occurrence is explained as the activities of companies in response to state regulation in the field of banking.

Published: September 2022

In the conditions where economic entities are increasingly taking responsibility for personal security and financial well-being, special attention should be paid to improving financial literacy in insurance. The importance of improving insur-ance literacy of the population is also due to the need to raise the level of culture of all participants in insurance relations, which will ultimately increase the efficiency of the insurance institution and economy of the country. Therefore, increasinginsurance literacy of the population is one of the key objectives at the present stage of the insurance market development and requires a comprehensive study. Within the article it is stated that the purpose of the study is to reveal the essence and importance of insurance literacy to ensure the population and justify the need to increase it in modern conditions. In the article, the essence and the content of financial literacy as an important condition for economic development is revealed. It is established that insurance literacy is an important component of financial literacy, which is based on a set of knowledge about insurance, skills and abilities that shape the attitude and appropriate pattern of the people’s behavior in the insurance market. Within the article, the author’s approach to the classification of insurance literacy based on which you can develop a model of behavior of insurance entities in choosing the insurer and insurance services, in the process of servicing the insur-ance contract and in the event of an insured event is revealed. The main features of the classification are the following ones: subjects of insurance, stages of the implementation of insurance services, presence of the invest component, objects of insur-ance, form of insurance, and type of danger. It is found within the study that improving insurance literacy has a positive impact on policyholders, insurers, and the level of economic development in general. Based on the definition of benefits for all subjects of insurance relations, the need to increase financial literacy in modern conditions is justified. In the article, the factors that influence the increase in interest in improving financial literacy, or conversely, constrainit are considered.

Published: September 2022

The issues connected with financial support for territorial communities were relevant for an extended period of time and have become especially acute recently. One of the effective ways for financial problem-solving at the level of territorial communities is the practical use of financial engineering tools.Financial engineering can be applied in various areas of the financial system; however, it is most actively used in the financial market and in the banking system of Ukraine. Financial engineering is a relatively new concept that does not have a single definition both at the legislative level and in scientific economic literature.Considering all the above-mentioned, the purpose of the article is to study the economic essence of financial engineer-ing and to substantiate the possibilities of using its tools at the level of local finances to improve the financial support for territorial communities in Ukraine.To achieve the goal, the article examines the financial risks of the functioning of territorial communities in modern conditions. The goals and concepts of financial engineering at the level of territorial communities have been identified and substantiated.The article reveals the essenceof financial engineering as a theoretical and practical basis for the development and implementation of strategies for financial support for the development of territorial communities, ensuring the financial au-tonomy of local self-government bodies and financial independence of local budgets based on the use of modern financial innovations, financial technologies for financial problem-solving and the use of financial opportunities. The role of financial engineering in financial support for the development of territorial communities in modern conditions has been revealed and substantiated. The typology of financial engineering tools and the scope of their practical application have been presented.It has been noted that financial engineering tools are aimed at achieving the financial goals of territorial communities.

La labor docente en las Instituciones de Educación Superior y en específico, el Tecnológico Nacional de México, está comprometida en el avance del conocimiento, el cual no se limita a las aulas de clase o en un ambiente virtual, sino que, además de las actividades frente a un grupo, el profesor se involucra en el desarrollo de tecnologías, productos, servicios e innovación que impacta en la sociedad en la que está inmersa la producción del conocimiento. A esto se le denomina productividad académica, al quehacer del docente fuera de sus horas de clase, en las que genera proyectos de gran utilidad, investigaciones, registro de propiedad intelectual, publicaciones científicas y tecnológicas, que pueden ser productos financiados o no por dependencias u organizaciones que avalan la importancia que estas tecnologías provocan para un análisis o cambio en la ciencia. No obstante, la productividad académica es poco conocida fuera de los espacios institucionales, no existiendo un registro completo sobre los logros académicos y de investigación de cada docente. Solo a nivel central se consultan las bases de datos científicas o en las plataformas que convocan el uso de estos financiamientos. Esta publicación tiene por objetivo señalar el impacto que los tecnológicos tienen en la sociedad a través de la productividad académica de sus docentes, así mismo, propone la creación de una plataforma institucional para el registro y consulta de la productividad para la comunidad académica, la cual inicialmente es local y se pretende se le dé difusión a nivel federal.

Case Description:

A 27-year-old male with a history of deep vein thrombosis and one month of rivaroxaban medication presented with seizure and loss of consciousness following a severe headache. A CT scan of the head revealed epidural bleeding, and emergency blood clot removal was performed. As a reversal, prothrombin complex was utilized.

Conclusion:

Rivaroxaban has the potential to cause an epidural hemorrhage. Reversal anticoagulant should be administered before doing emergency surgery.
Does diploic venous flow drain extracranially in the pterional area? A magnetic resonance imaging study
Authors: Tsutsumi Satoshi , Sugiyama Natsuki , Ueno Hideaki , Ishii Hisato
Published: September 2022

Background:

To the best of our knowledge, no study using neuroimaging modalities has documented calvarial diploic veins (DVs) connected to the extracranial sites. This study aimed to characterize them using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Methods:

A total of 88 patients underwent thin-sliced contrast MRI. In addition, the DVs coursing through the pterional area were observed on three injected cadaver heads.

Results:

On postcontrast MRI, the DVs of the pterional area directly drained into the temporalis muscle or supplied branches coursing into the muscle in 43% on the right side and 40% on the left. The DVs and their branches were highly variable in diameter and number. In 9% of cases, the DV of the pterional area was found to drain into an extracranial site and connected to large venous channels distributed in the temporalis muscle. Furthermore, in 17% of cases, the DVs drained into the extracranial sites in the frontal skull region, followed by 9% in the parietal, 2% in the occipital, and 1% in the temporal regions. The DVs coursed superficially in the pterional area on both sides of all three cadaver heads. On one side, the DV in the area was open to an extracranial site.

Conclusion:

Part of the diploic venous flow drains extracranially in the pterional area. This area may provide an important interface between the calvarial DVs and the extracranial venous system.

Recentes estudos epidemiológicos sobre tuberculose bovina foram conduzidos no Brasil, mas não em seus territórios insulares. O objetivo deste trabalho foi descrever a prevalência da tuberculose bovina no Arquipélago de Fernando de Noronha, Brasil, a fim de colaborar na adoção das estratégias de sua prevenção, controle e/ou erradicação. Em cada uma das dez propriedades existentes no arquipélago, todos os 74 bovinos acima de 24 meses de idade foram submetidos ao teste tuberculínico cervical comparativo. As informações epidemiológicas sobre a ocorrência da doença foram obtidas do banco de dados da Agência de Defesa e Fiscalização Agropecuária de Pernambuco - ADAGRO. As prevalências encontradas para rebanhos e animais foram 10% e 1,35%, respectivamente. A análise dos fatores de risco foi inviabilizada pelos resultados obtidos, já que o número de casos não permitiu fazer este tipo de análise. Este é o primeiro relato sobre prevalência da tuberculose bovina no Arquipélago de Fernando de Noronha. Várias características favorecem a implantação de estratégias que visem à erradicação da tuberculose bovina em Fernando de Noronha tais como: área territorial e característica insular; restrição da importação de animais de produção; reduzido número de bovinos e de propriedades; bem como pela baixa prevalência de animais positivos. Desta forma, o Serviço Veterinário Estadual (SVE) poderá otimizar as ações de vigilância nas espécies domésticas, estimulando a colaboração interdisciplinar entre os órgãos competentes para erradicar a tuberculose animal e alcançar melhoria da saúde humana por meio da saúde animal.
Design and implementation of systolic architecture based FIR filter
Authors: Pushpalatha P. , Babulu K.
Published: September 2022

In signal processing, a filter is a device or process that removes some unwanted components or features from a signal. Digital filters are mainly divided into Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filters and Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filters. FIR filters are mostly used in applications like image processing, communications, Digital Signal Processing (DSP) etc. One of the most used filters for designing of VLSI circuits is FIR filter. Systolic architecture is a Processing Element (PE) network that generates and passes data rhythmically through the system. The concept of systolic architecture can map high-level computing into hardware structures. FIR filter with systolic architectures provide better examples for efficient VLSI and FPGA implementations of many digital signal processing applications because of their modularity and regularity features.
Effect of different fat levels and Moringa oleifera leaf meal inclusion on sensory
attributes of chicken droëwors
Authors: Jaja I.F. , Tembela N.
Published: September 2022

Moringa oleifera Lam. is an innovative nutraceutical and nutritional plant for animal and
human diets. The plant has potent essential nutrients such as vitamins and minerals,
protein, and essential amino acids, with a relatively small quantity of antinutrients. Hence
the increase of its use in medicinal remedies and traditional cuisines in many parts of the
globe. This study aimed to investigate the effects of different fat levels and Moringa
oleifera leaf meal (MOLM) inclusion on sensory attributes of chicken droëwors. A total of
forty randomly selected consumers of different gender and age were used as the sensory
panel. About 75% of lean chicken meat and 25% of chicken fat were used during
droëwors preparation. The raw materials were divided into nine (9) treatments i.e., T1 (0%
fat, 0% MOLM), T2 (0% fat, 0.25% MOLM), T3 (0% fat, 0.5% MOLM), T4 (10% fat,
0% MOLM), T5 (10% fat, 0.25% MOLM) T6 (10%, 0.5% MOLM), T7 (15% fat, 0%
MOLM), T8 (15% fat, 0.25% MOLM) and T9 (15% fat, 0.5% MOLM). In terms of
colour, when 0.5% MOLM was added consumers responded with low values, 6.74 and
6.14 in T3 and T9, respectively, compared to other treatments. The aroma scores in
treatments that added no MOLM were significantly lower (P < 0.05) than in other
treatments with MOLM added, however, no significant difference was found in other
treatments. Regarding texture, the consumer's panel in the current study responded with
lower values (T3 = 6.35, T6 = 6.74, T9 = 5.81 when 0.5% MOLM was added. Meat
flavour was significantly increased (P > 0.05), where 0.25% MOLM was added. Overall
preference score in chicken droëwors significantly increased (P > 0.05) by adding 0.5% of
MOLM in all the treatments; consumers liked chicken droëwors when 0.5% of MOLM
was added. Droëwors with MOLM had higher (P > 0.05). The inclusion of Moringa
oleifera leaf meal in chicken droëwors significantly improved its sensory attributes.
The Future Vertical Life in Phnom Penh
Authors:   , Hout Bunkung
Published: September 2022

Wellbeing is considered health, ecological environment, convenience, security, and safety (Lee et al., 2011), and it also can be satisfied with life and improve living quality (Kamp et al., 2003). Meanwhile, Mason (2018) defines sustainability as natural system function and human civilization, including economic, social, and environmental protection. Cambodia is a famous country with a rich culture, architecture, and natural resources. The capital city of Cambodia-Phnom Penh, which is known as Cambodia’s heart, has been gradually developing from the classic into contemporary life in the last few decades. With the increasing construction, the city now has severe environmental issues such as air pollution and flooding—these problems seriously affect Phnom Penh inhabitants’ mental and physical wellbeing.

 As human wellbeing and environmental quality are consistently decreasing in Cambodia as well as the world, the sustainability paradigm was introduced to solve the social, economic, and environmental issues. The focus of the study is on improving the living conditions of the vulnerable communities through regenerative architecture solutions in a rapidly expanding urban city. This research looks at how regenerative design can be implemented in Phnom Penh to enable residents’ wellbeing and sustainability through vertical living environments.

 The architecture will test the concept of the regenerative paradigm by focusing on the interaction between people and nature. Concerning methodological strategies, it will start from literature reviews to design testing. The literature section will investigate Phnom Penh’s urban lifestyle from different eras. The idea of Khmer vernacular architecture and how it has evolved based on changing users will be highlighted. The study looks at economic support systems for the poor as the Grameen Bank as a concept that could back the realization of the vertical village being proposed as a design solution. The concepts of the regenerative paradigm explored in this study relate to materials, renewable energy, ventilation, and waste management for improving human wellbeing and sustainability.

All literature reviews and precedents have both international and national or ASEAN countries as practical examples. The design part of the thesis is about experimenting with a new perspective of regenerative design, the vertical village. The design testing explores Khmer culture and sustainability concepts. Also considered is how the cost of construction and the cost of living can be reduced by an architecture and planning system that is enabling and empowering. The project explores a system for engaging the capacity of the occupants of the housing in the construction of their homes and livelihood opportunities through the production of the building materials, energy, and food for the community. This research looks at how the Khmer people can benefit from an architecture that supports a healthier life in a zero waste environment which looks to safeguard natural sources through recycling.

PALYNOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE OLIGOCENE SEDIMENT IN EAST JAVA SEA
Authors: Lelono Eko Budi
Published: September 2022

The palynological study of the Oligocene sediments is based on cutting samples collected from the exploration wells which are drilled in East Java Sea. The occurrence of pollen Meyeripollis naharkotensis along the well sections suggests the pollen zone of Meyeripollis naharkotensis which is equivalent to Oligocene age. This is supported by the regular occurrence of the Oligocene marker of the trilete spore of Cicatricosisporites dorogensis along the studied well sections. In addition, foraminiferal and nannoplankton analyses confirm the Oligocene age by identifying the occurrence of letter stage of Tc- Te4 and nanno zone of NP21-NP25. On the other hand, most palynomorphs marking Eocene age disappear from the studied wells as they are stratigraphically older than the studied sediments. Unlike the Oligocene sediment of West Java and Central Sumatra which was formed in the freshwater swamp or lake under dry climate condition, the studied sediment was deposited in the transition to shallow marine environment as indicated by the moderate diversity of marine dinoflagellates coupled with the frequent occurrence of limestone along the sections. Furthermore, the regular appearance of back-mangrove pollen of Spinizonocolpites echinatus throughout the well sections supports the indication of marine influence. The appearance of the Australian immigrants including Dacrydium (common occurrence) and Casuarina (regular occurrence) may indicate earlier arrival of the Australian continent in this area compared to that in other areas of Indonesia.

Authors: Widarsono Bambang , Musu Junita Trivianty
Published: September 2022

Recent developments in petroleum industry have been witnessing the surge of the use of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) log. Despite some remaining problems the NMR technology appears to gain more acceptance as petrophysical tool for evaluating reservoir quality. Comprehensive formation evaluation requires determination of irreducible fluids, movable fluids, and permeability. However, rock heterogeneity introduces complexity in any formation evaluation activities. This can also cause problem for NMR log interpretation. In the presence of clays the most commonly used T2 cut off values, a constant value throughout a formation, seem to eventually yield inaccurate irreducible water saturation estimates, as well as other output such as permeability. This study focuses at finding a solution for finding the best way of choosing the most representative T2 cut off value to be used in NMR log interpretation. This is indeed a common pressing problem for heterogeneous formation rocks such as in the case of Tirrawarra sandstones used in this study. The main part of the study is devoted to comparison between the use of single averaged T2c value and establishment of empirical correlations enabling the provision of T2c for any level of heterogeneity (i.e. various levels of shaliness). The study however surprisingly shows that, in spite of the theoretical soundness of the empirical correlations established, simple averaging of T2c values yielded by a reliable method proves itself adequate. This conclusion therefore helps considerably in reducing complexity in NMR log interpretation.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye’de yaşayan bireylerin mutluluk düzeylerini etkileyen faktörlerin neler olduğunu araştırmak ve bu faktörlerin değişimini karşılaştırmalı olarak iki farklı dönemde takip etmektir. Bu amaç için TÜİK tarafından uygulanan Yaşam Memnuniyeti Araştırması’nın verileri, 2004-2012 ve 2013-2019 şeklinde havuzlanarak iki farklı dönemde kullanılmış ve bu veri setleri genelleştirilmiş sıralı logit model ile tahmin edilmiştir. Analiz bulgularına göre, her iki dönemde bireylerin mutluluğu arttıran ortak faktörler; yüksek gelire sahip olmak, evli olmak, çalışmak, sağlıktan ve aylık gelirden memnun olmak ve evde güvenli hissetmek olarak belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca 2013-2019 döneminde diğer dönemden farklı olarak gelirin artması, tasarruf yapmak mutluluğu olumlu etkilerken, ucuz ürün tüketmek ve borçlanmak mutluluğu olumsuz etkilemiştir. Öte yandan sadece 2004-2012 döneminde kentte yaşayan, gelecekte hayatın ve mali durumun iyi olmasını bekleyen kişiler daha mutlu yaşamaktadırlar.

Published: September 2022

Müzakere alanında en önemli kavramsal modellerden olan Harvard Müzakere Modeli Fisher ve Ury (1981) tarafından geliştirilen “İlkeli Müzakere” yaklaşımını ortaya koymuştur. Ancak İlkeli Müzakerenin müzakerelerde ne ölçüde uygulanabildiğini ortaya çıkaran niceliksel bir ölçüt henüz bulunmamaktadır. Bu çalışmada, müzakerelerin ne ölçüde “ilkeler temelinde” yürütüldüğünün belirlenmesine yönelik bir Endeks geliştirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Böylece müzakere yetkinliğinin kurumsal iletişime katkısı niceliksel hale getirilmiştir. Çalışmada, Fisher ve Ury (1981)’e dayanılarak Müzakere Endeksi Modeli adı verilen bir Endeks oluşturulmuştur. Endeksinin hesaplanma yöntemi olarak Denge Yöntemi esas alınmıştır. Müzakere Endeksi Modeli, müzakere sürecinde yer alan tarafların veya müzakere heyetlerinin İlkeli Müzakereyi ne ölçüde benimsediklerine ilişkin nesnel bir ölçüt ve müzakere sürecinin iyileştirilmesine yönelik bir bakış açısı sunmaktadır.

Geçtiğimiz yüzyılın en çarpıcı ekonomik ve siyasal olaylarından biri olan SSCB’nin dağılmasıyla, birlikten ayrılan ve merkezi planlamacı ekonomi anlayışına sahip olan Doğu Avrupa ülkeleri daha önce tecrübe etmedikleri serbest piyasa ekonomisine geçmiştirler. Bu siyasi ve iktisadi değişimle birlikte Doğu Avrupa ülkeleri, aynı dönemde küreselleşme akımlarının etkisi altında kalarak ticari liberalizasyon süreçleri ile karşılaşarak ticari dışa açık bir yapıya sahip olmuşturlar. Bu çalışmanın amacı seçili 10 Doğu Avrupa ülkesinde ticari dışa açıklık ile ekonomik büyüme arasındaki ilişkiyi 1995-2020 dönemi boyunca analiz etmektedir. Yapılan zaman serisi analizi sonucuna göre, 3 ülkede (Letonya, Litvanya, Slovakya) ticari dışa açıklık ve ekonomik büyüme arasında uzun dönem ilişkisi tespit edilmiştir. Panel veri analizi sonuçlarına göre, ticari açıklık ve ekonomik büyüme arasında herhangi bir ilişki tespit edilememiştir.

Rekabetçi koşulların sürekli ya da ani değişimi, ulaştırma sektörü içerisinde yer alan işletmelerin, hisse senedi yatırımcılarının ve diğer aktörlerin stratejik hamleler yapmalarını zorlaştırmaktadır. Bu durumda hisse senetlerinde meydana gelen aşağı ve yukarı yönlü hareketleri yansıtan endekslerin doğru bir şekilde yorumlanıp tahmin edilmesi, daha sürdürülebilir bir rekabet avantajı sağlayacaktır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, ulaştırma sektöründe faaliyet gösteren dokuz adet şirkete ait hisse senetlerini bünyesinde tutan BIST Ulaştırma endeksini (XULAS), Yapay Sinir Ağları (YSA) Doğrusal Olmayan Dışsal Girdili Otoregresif Ağ (NARX) modeli ile öngörmeye çalışmaktır.Bu doğrultuda, XULAS üzerinde doğrudan veya dolaylı etkisi olduğu düşünülen aylık bazda on ve günlük bazda altı adet makroekonomik değişken tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmada aylık ve günlük olmak üzere iki farklı model önerisinde bulunulmuştur. Çalışmada kullanılan günlük veriler 19/07/2010-15/10/2021 dönemini kapsarken aylık veriler de 08/2010-08/2021 dönemini kapsamaktadır. Performans ölçütleri olarak MAD, MSE, RMSE ve MAPE değeri sonuçlarına bakılmıştır. Yapılan öngörü sonucunda önerilen YSA NARX ağ modellerinin XULAS değerlerini öngörmede oldukça başarılı olduğu söylenilebilir. Her iki model karşılaştırıldığında günlük verilerle çalışmanın tahmin ve öngörü açısından daha başarılı sonuçlar verdiği saptanmıştır.

Published: September 2022

Günümüzde artan enerji ihtiyacının karşılanmasında yenilenelebilir enerji kaynaklarının kullanımı için toplumsal kabul oldukça önemli bir unsurdur. Bu çalışmada, tüketicilerin sahip oldukları çevresel endişeler, çevre hakkında bilgi ve Yenilenebilir Enerji Kaynakları (YEK) hakkındaki bilgi düzeyleri çerçevesinde fosil yakıtların çevreye verdikleri zararı azaltabilmek için hissettikleri bireysel ahlaki sorumluluğun, yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarının kullanımına yönelik tutumlarına ve bu amaçla maddi fedakârlıkta bulunarak fazladan ödeme yapma niyetlerine etkilerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada özgecil çevreci davranışları açıklamak için literatürde sıklıkla kullanılan Norm Aktivasyon Teorisi kullanılmıştır. Bilecik ilinde çalışan 337 kamu personelinin katıldığı çalışmada Yapısal Eşitlik Modeli (YEM) kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonucunda, YEK’i kabul etme ve fazladan ödeme isteğinin çevresel endişe, çevre hakkında bilgi, sonuçların farkındalığı ve personal normdan etkilendiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Buna karşın algılanan tüketici etkinliği, YEK hakkında bilgi sahibi olma, sorumluluk atfetme faktörlerinin YEK’e karşı tutum ve fazladan ödeme niyetinde etkisinin olmadığı görülmüştür.
