Published: September 2024

With the recent growth of global populations, main roads in cities have witnessed an evident increase in the number of vehicles. This has led to unprecedented challenges for authorities in managing the traffic of ambulance vehicles to provide medical services in emergency cases. Despite the high technologies associated with medical tracks and advanced traffic management systems, there is still a current delay in ambulances’ attendance in times of emergency to provide patients with vital aid. Therefore, it is indispensable to introduce a new emergency service system that enables the ambulance to reach the patient in the least congested and shortest paths. However, designing an efficient algorithm to plan the best route for an ambulance is still a global goal and a challenge that needs to be solved. This article introduces an Internet of Things emergency services system based on a real-time node rank index (NR-index) algorithm to find the best route for the ambulance to reach the patient and provide the required medical services in emergency cases. The proposed system design copes with the dynamic traffic conditions to guarantee the shortest transport time. For this purpose, a vehicular ad hoc network is employed to collect accurate real-time traffic data. In this article, we suggest two parameters to compromise distance and congestion level. The first is the distance between the patient and the surrounding ambulance vehicles, and the second determines the congestion level to avoid the path with high congestion traffic. The system employs a developed real-time NR-index algorithm to select a suitable ambulance vehicle to respond to emergency cases at a low travel cost with the fastest journey. Finally, our system makes it easier for ambulance vehicles to use the best route and avoid heavy traffic. This allows them to make their way to the patient quickly and increases the chance of saving lives. The simulation results show significant improvements in terms of average travel time, average travel speed, and normalized routing load.
Anti-homophony and rhizotony in the Spanish preterite
Authors: Morris Richard E.
Published: September 2024

Speakers tend to avoid homophony that is problematic. While Spanish admits some homophony of 1SG and 3SG forms in three arrhizotonic tenses/moods (imperfect, past subjunctive, conditional), in two of the three rhizotonic tenses/moods (present indicative and preterite), the 1SG and 3SG contrast systematically. In the preterite, contrast (DĪXĪ ∼ DĪXIT) was lost in Old Spanish (dix[e] ∼ dix[e]) but subsequently restored (dije ∼ dijo). The developmentdix(e) > dijohas been attributed to analogical extension of arrhizotonic –o, (cf.amó), with destressing. This article proposes that said extension is the result of anti-homophony (AH). Like analogical extension, AH improves form-function isomorphism yet applies primarily to higher-frequency forms. It is argued that AH targeted 1SG ∼ 3SG homophony selectively, affecting only verb forms without an explicit tense/mood marker (e.g.,dixe ∼ dixevstenga ∼ tenga). This morphological restriction on AH explains why homophony persisted in four of the seven basic tenses (e.g.,tenga ∼ tenga,tenía ∼ tenía,tendría ∼ tendría,tuviera [–se] ∼ tuviera [–se]). The modern pairsfui ∼ fueanddi ∼ dio, which are the outcome of heavy competition, are shown to be a straightforward result of AH. In a broader perspective, the drive to distinguish 1SG and 3SG forms has brought about a “1–3 pattern” with a range similar to that of the N-pattern, in which stress is retained in certain paradigmatic cells in the absence of conditioning phonological factors. Destressing –oin forms likedijoandvinoserved to maintain the integrity of the 1–3 pattern as an organizing principle.
Enhanced stiffness characterization of load cells by relative change of the natural frequency forced by a defined mass shift
Authors: Wittke Martin , Darnieder Maximilian , Fröhlich Thomas , Theska René
Published: September 2024

High-precision force measurement systems such as mass comparators, balances, or tactile force sensors usually feature kinematic structures designed as compliant mechanisms. The applications require precise knowledge of the properties of the mechanism. Stiffness is critical here, as it has a major influence on measurement resolution and uncertainty. When implementing the manufactured mechanisms, it is necessary to consider that even small variations in the geometric and material properties result in significant deviations from the pre-calculated properties. An experimental characterization is therefore essential. However, the stiffness determination methods described by the state-of-the-art are either time-consuming or have a high uncertainty. For this reason, a time-saving, low-uncertainty method was developed. The approach is based on the determination of the natural frequency. To significantly reduce the measurement uncertainty compared to the existing natural frequency method, the absolute elastic stiffness value is characterized by the relative change in natural frequency when attaching a well-known mass. This reduces the uncertainty of the stiffness value by at least 75 %. This work includes the derivation of the method, the consideration of analytical and numerical models, and the experimental verification using two applications.
Soutenir les PME dans leurs enjeux de ressources humaines par le développement de coopératives d’employeurs : tensions et paradoxes durant la phase d’implantation
Authors: Robert-Huot Geneviève , Beaudin Marie-Claude , Audebrand Luc K.
Published: September 2024

Devant les défis grandissants des PME en matière de main-d’œuvre, le Conseil québécois de la coopération et de la mutualité (CQCM) a conduit un projet ayant pour cible d’enrichir l’offre de soutien en gestion des ressources humaines (GRH). Ce projet devait soutenir la création de coopératives d’employeurs qui permettraient aux PME une prise en charge autonome et pérenne de leurs enjeux. Bien qu’aucune coopérative n’ait pu voir le jour au bout des trois années du projet, des apprentissages peuvent être tirés de cette démarche. Plus spécifiquement, des enjeux sont apparus en lien avec : 1) la traduction des fondements du projet auprès des acteurs concernés, 2) le diagnostic des besoins en RH propres à chaque organisation partenaire, 3) le jumelage des organisations, et 4) la définition de la raison d’être de la coopérative. Ces enjeux dévoilent les paradoxes sous-jacents à la complexité du projet.
Collaborative Settler Colonialism: Japanese Migration to Brazil in the Age of Empires
Authors: Lu Sidney Xu
Published: September 2024

Though Japanese migration to Brazil started only at the turn of the twentieth century, Brazil is now the country with the largest ethnic Japanese population outside Japan. Collaborative Settler Colonialism examines this history as a central chapter of both Brazil’s and Japan’s processes of nation and empire building and, crucially, as a convergence of their settler colonial projects. Inspired by American colonialism and the final conquest of the U.S. Western frontier, Brazilian and Japanese empire builders collaborated to bring Japanese migrants to Brazil, which had the outcome of simultaneously dispossessing Indigenous Brazilians of their land and furthering the expansion of Japanese land and resource possession abroad. Bringing discourses of Latin American and Japanese settler colonialism into rare dialogue with each other, this book offers new insight into the Japanese empire, the history of immigration to Brazil and Latin America, and the past and present of settler colonialism.

Published: September 2024

This reflection describes the experience of people at the end of life: their progressive physical deterioration and increased dependence, which often contrast with the prevailing social view of valuing health, autonomy and vitality. This reflection mobilizes the knowledge and care of nurses in their day-today work in an acute care unit, focusing on the construction of nursing care for end of life patients and their families. At this stage of life, palliative care is essential and aims to offer comfort. Therefore, as long as the nurse can be with the person and their family, it helps to overcome the frailties of the person/family inherent in this stage of life.

It was shown that the combined oral use of drugs with a metabolic effect - armadine at a dose of 300 mg per day and trizipin at a dose of 500 mg per day for 60 days led to inhibition of the oxidative stress damaging effect on its molecular genetic targets - proteins, lipids, and DNA - in blood of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). This is evidenced by a decrease in the proteins’ oxidative modification level and the content of lipid peroxidation secondary products in blood plasma and changes in the expression of the transcription factor HIF-1α and the regulatory protein mTOR genes in leukocytes of patients with DM2. This occurred against the background of a fall in the hydrogen peroxide production in erythrocytes of patients with DM2 and an increase in the activity of antiradical defense and the glutathione antioxidant system in plasma and erythrocytes of these patients after treatment. Genetic studies indicated that the use of armadine in combination with trizipin significantly raised the expression of the HIF-1α gene and reduced the decrease in the expression of the mTOR gene in blood leukocytes of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The established changes can serve as a protective mechanism that counteracts the development of oxidative damage of macromolecules through various signaling metabolic pathways.

The development of catalytic methods for xylose transformation as renewable raw material into value-added chemicals such as lactic and glycolic acid esters has been the subject of intensive research in recent years. Thus, methyl lactate and methyl glycolate are used as a starting material for the production of lactide and glycolide – an important monomers for the production of biodegradable polymers. The aim of this work was to search of simple effective catalyst for transformation of xylose into methyl esters of lactic and glycolic acids. For this purpose, tin-containing alumina doped with СeO2, MoO3 and CuO oxides were synthesized by impregnation method. Textural and structural parameters of obtained МeO‑SnO2/Al2O3 mixed oxides were estimated from the results of low-temperature adsorption-desorption of nitrogen and X-ray diffraction. The formation of morphology ceria close to octahedra for CeО2‑SnO2/Al2O3 sample is confirmed by the X-ray phase analysis data and SEM microphotographs. The UV spectroscopy data indicates the nanosize of tin dioxide particles on the γ‑Al2O3 surface. According to the titration results, CeО2‑SnO2/Al2O3 is acid mixed oxide with H0 ≤ –3.0. The catalytic conversion of xylose solution in methanol was carried out in rotated autoclaves and in a flow stainless steel reactor with a fixed bed of catalyst. The products of the target reaction C5H10O5+2CH3OH+1/2O2 = C4H8O3+C3H6O3+2H2O were analyzed by 13C NMR. It was found that a complete conversion of 4 % xylose solution in a 70 % aqueous methanol solution occurs with the formation of methyl lactate (42 %) and methyl glycolate (24 %) on the developed CeO2-SnO2/Al2O3 catalyst loading of 3.5 mmol C5H10O5/gcat/h at 190 °C/3.0 MPa in air flow. The path of the reaction is proposed, namely: the IVSn4+ ions in CeO2-SnO2/Al2O3 catalyst as Lewis acid sites promote retro-aldol xylose condensation and further Cannizzaro rearrangement of intermediate methyl pyruval hemiacetal into methyl lactate. And CeO2 provides selective oxidation of glycol aldehyde formed as a result of aldol decondensation of xylose to methyl glycolate.

Afterlife Beliefs, Life Extension and Gender: Evidence for Life Extension Technologies Reduces Death Thought Accessibility Among Males
Authors: Lifshin Uri , Greenberg Jeff , Soenke Melissa , Helm Peter J. , Pyszczynski Tom
Published: September 2024

Purpose: This study investigates whether reading about Indefinite Life Extension (ILE) can reduce death thought accessibility, particularly among men, as a way to manage death-related concerns. The study aims to explore gender differences in the psychological function of ILE as a terror management strategy. Methodology: An experimental design was used, involving 110 American undergraduate students. Participants were randomly assigned to read about ILE, the afterlife, or a neutral technological advance (teleportation) following a mortality salience prime. The primary outcome measured was death thought accessibility (DTA), with gender as a key variable. Findings: The results revealed that, after being reminded of mortality, reading about the possibility of ILE significantly reduced DTA among men compared to the control condition. However, this effect was not observed among women, who did not show a similar reduction in DTA after reading about ILE. Research Implications: These findings contribute to the growing literature on the terror management function of ILE, highlighting the role of gender in moderating responses to death-related concerns. The study suggests that ILE may serve as an effective strategy for men in managing existential anxiety, whereas women may rely more on traditional beliefs in the afterlife. Originality/Value: This study offers new insights into the gender-specific psychological mechanisms underlying the appeal of life extension technologies, expanding the understanding of how different groups use ILE as a tool for managing death anxiety.

Published: September 2024

Purpose: This study explores Muslim perceptions and evaluations of virtual Hajj within the metaverse, focusing on its acceptance as a religious practice. Methodology: Utilising a qualitative descriptive approach, data were sourced from online news articles identified using the search term "Metaverse Hajj Discourse" on Google. These articles were analyzed to understand the diverse perspectives within the Muslim community regarding virtual Hajj. Findings: The research reveals that while Muslims acknowledge the educational and preparatory benefits of virtual Hajj, it is largely rejected as a legitimate form of fulfilling the religious obligations of Hajj, due to its failure to encapsulate the physical and spiritual elements of the pilgrimage. Research Implications: This study highlights the need for a nuanced understanding of virtual religious practices, suggesting that while such technologies can augment the educational aspects of religious rituals, they cannot replace the physical acts prescribed by religious doctrines. Originality/Value: The research contributes to the emerging discourse on religious practices within digital spaces, offering insights into the intersection of technology and traditional religious practices, and setting a foundation for future theological discussions on virtual reality's role in religion.
Instytucje społecznej kontroli procesu wyborczego po zmianach Kodeksu wyborczego w 2023 r.
Authors:   Uniwersytet Szczeciński, Pyrzyńska Agata
Published: September 2024

The aim of the work is to analyze the status, tasks and powers of entities implementing social control of the electoral process after the changes introduced by the Act of 26 January 2023 amending the Act – Electoral Code. The analysis of the adopted solutions allows us to conclude that most of the changes will concern the position of men of trust, i.e. entities related to election committees, and not entities observing the elections in an impartial manner. According to the new regulations, the position of men of trust will be strengthened in relation to independent social and international observers. The question is whether such a direction of changes is aimed at ensuring the transparency and fairness of the electoral process, or whether it is determined by political considerations. The study uses the formal and legal method to examine changes in the legal position of election observers and the empirical method to verify the potential effects of the adopted solutions.

Published: September 2024

Neste trabalho, apresento algumas partes da minha dissertação defendida em 2023, onde analiso depoimentos produzidos e compartilhados durante as dinâmicas efetivadas no campo de pesquisa. Realizei observação participante no programa “Território Hip-Hop” da prefeitura de São Paulo – uma iniciativa de política pública conquistada pela militância da cultura Hip-Hop na cidade. Essa imersão permitiu compreender os desenvolvimentos e interações de jovens negros/as e periféricos/as participantes das atividades do programa. Utilizei trechos de rap de artistas como Baco Exu do Blues, Cristal e Djonga para a produção de dados. As músicas foram usadas como provocações, permitindo levantar questões e reflexões, mais do que apenas fornecer respostas definitivas. Organizei um experimento com dois grupos focais e realizei entrevistas semiestruturadas com alguns/as desses/as adolescentes, captando suas perspectivas e conhecimentos situados. Essa abordagem metodológica permitiu uma análise das experiências, das construções de identidades e posicionamentos dos/as jovens, contextualizando suas vivências no cotidiano. Durante a produção e análise dos dados, investiguei as vozes e conhecimentos desses jovens identificados com a cultura Hip-Hop. Busquei compreender os efeitos subjetivos das mensagens de negritude presentes no rap, que descrevem as realidades raciais no Brasil. Desse modo, analisei como essas mensagens influenciam trajetórias e perspectivas de vida, moldando identidades e identificações. As entrevistas e discussões revelaram o rap como uma poderosa ferramenta transformadora que estimula reflexões profundas e transcende a luta contra opressões, sendo um saber realizado pelo corpo e pela voz, representando múltiplas vivências.
Breast Biopsy Notification Preferences and Health Literacy
Authors: Fisher Manon , Ablah Elizabeth , Okut Hayrettin , Tenofsky Patty
Published: September 2024

Introduction. Communication of breast biopsy results varies and does not always meet patient expectations. This study aimed to determine how patients previously diagnosed with breast cancer preferred to receive their biopsy results, including preferences for communication methods, the type of medical professional delivering the results, and wait time. Additionally, we evaluated how health literacy might affect these preferences.      
Methods. English-speaking female patients who had previously been diagnosed with breast cancer were surveyed at a breast surgery clinic in Wichita, Kansas. The survey included the Brief Health Literacy Screen (BHLS), questions on how they received their biopsy results, and their preferences for receiving results. Participants were classified as having adequate or inadequate literacy based on their BHLS responses and a scoring system from previous research.
Results. The study included 101 participants. Overall, 64% preferred in-person communication, 40% preferred to hear from their primary care physician, 36% from their surgeon, and 56% wanted results within 24 hours. There was no statistically significant difference in preferences based on health literacy, including communication method (p = 0.44), type of medical professional (p = 0.56), and wait time (p = 0.38).  
Conclusions. Most participants preferred to receive biopsy results indicating a breast cancer diagnosis in-person, regardless of their health literacy. While it may be sufficient to call a patient with benign biopsy results, it is recommended to offer an in-person discussion for cancer diagnoses, respecting the patient's preference.

Концепция мема (меметика) и первичные механизмы социокультурной эволюции права
Authors: Залоило Максим
Published: September 2024

Новые технологии и связанная с их распространением смена технологического уклада влияют на изменение ценностных ориентиров и установок личности, общества и нации, определяют динамику в их правовом поведении. Российская правовая культура оказывается перед лицом ранее неизвестных вызовов, обусловленных новой культурной доминантой высокотехнологичного общества, определяемой технологическим императивом. На смену утрачивающему актуальность и «умирающему» постмодернизму приходят диджимодернизм, автомодернизм и киберкультурализм, ведущие к сдвигу парадигмы культуры и ее переопределению. Актуализируются задачи сохранения сущностных характеристик культуры и модернизации базовых параметров на основе проектного прогнозирования, объединяющего проект и прогноз в единое целое. Целями исследования являются определение по аналогии с генетикой эволюционного алгоритма, стратегии, программирования трансформации правовой культуры и выявление первичных механизмов ее формирования, воспроизводства и развития в свете правовой меметики и кодирования релевантной информации в правовых мемах. Исследование базируется на юридическом прогнозировании и моделировании, постклассической методологии права, культуральном подходе, принципах конструктивизма и антропоцентризма. На основе обращения к новому междисциплинарному направлению — меметике, объясняющей культурную эволюцию посредством концепции мемов (условных единиц передачи культурного наследия), — анализируется значение правовой меметики и правовых мемов в механизме формирования и развития правовой культуры. Выявляются ключевые мемы правотворчества, факторы, способы и средства их вариаций и отбора, которые могут способствовать развитию или ограничению правовых норм и практик. Определяются модели управления мемами и их функционирования в рамках правовой системы. Резюмируется, что первичным механизмом воспроизводства мемов в праве является правотворчество, а правовая меметика позволяет исследовать динамику изменений правовой культуры и культуры правотворчества в контексте формирования и изменения правовых систем, решать задачи сохранения стабильности правовых регуляторов и придания им необходимой адаптивности, определять национально-правовую идентичность.

Background: Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) can potentially transform several sectors, notably last-mile delivery. Despite its potential, their implementation in real-world situations, particularly in severe weather like rain, must be improved with route optimisation and stability issues. Objective: This study aims to provide a fresh approach to the issues that drones confront in wet weather using unique MySQL code designed to improve drone performance in such environments. Methods: A customised algorithm based on the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) was specially adapted for drone delivery. It considers battery life, payload weight, and estimated delivery timeframes. This algorithm aims to alter the drone's path under wet circumstances to maintain balance, preserve energy, and reduce the possibility of delivery failure. Results: Using MySQL custom code for drones may bring several advantages. It may not only increase battery life by guaranteeing appropriate routing, but it may also shorten delivery times and prevent cases of lost or damaged items due to weather. Delivery efficiency may be significantly improved. Conclusion: Incorporating bespoke MySQL code provides a viable option for addressing the inherent issues that drones confront in damp situations. This technology allows for more dependable and effective drone deliveries, even in less-than-ideal weather circumstances, by optimising routes and assuring stability.

Background: The increasing number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has raised worries about their susceptibility to different cyber threats. Although there have been improvements in software-level security, hardware measures continue to be essential for strong protection. Objective: The purpose of this study is to thoroughly analyze different architectural methods for ensuring hardware security in IoT devices, assessing how effective and practical they are. Methods: The study conducted a comparative investigation of different hardware security mechanisms, such as Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs), Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs), and hardware security modules (HSMs). Information was gathered from several Internet of Things (IoT) implementations in industrial, healthcare, and consumer industries. Results: The results suggest that PUFs have notable benefits in terms of distinctiveness and protection against physical tampering, while TPMs offer extensive security capabilities but at a greater expense and level of complexity. High-security modules (HSMs) were determined to be the most effective choice for environments with high stakes that demand strict security measures. Conclusion: The selection of a suitable security method for IoT applications depends on the particular requirements and hazards associated with each application, as there is no one-size-fits-all hardware security mechanism. This paper establishes a fundamental structure for choosing and executing hardware security measures in IoT designs, improving the durability of devices against advancing cyber threats.

Published: September 2024

Seasonal frozen ground freeze–thaw cycles in cold regions are essential indicators of climate change, infrastructure, and ecosystems in the near-surface critical zone (CZ). As a noninvasive geophysical method, the ambient noise seismic method estimates the relative velocity variations (dv/v) based on coda waves or ballistic waves, providing new insights into the seasonal frozen ground changes in the soil properties and hydrology data, such as soil moisture content (SMC), temperature, and groundwater level. However, obtaining stable dv/v with high temporal and spatial resolution is challenging. In this work, we combine the 1D linear three-component seismic array and hydrological sensor to conduct seasonal frozen ground freeze–thaw monitoring experiments. Besides the conventional dv/v information, we calculate surface-wave dispersion curve variations (dc/c), which are more sensitive to SMC and can characterize the daily air temperature variations. Meanwhile, the horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) amplitude and seismic signal peak frequency also show highly consistent changes to the freeze–thaw processes. All the results demonstrate that the different ambient noise seismic information (dc/c, HVSR, and peak frequency) provide robust observations for hydrogeological monitoring, such as air temperature, SMC, and groundwater level changes during seasonal freeze–thaw processes.

Bu çalışmanın genel amacı, öğretmenlerin kolaylaştırıcı okul yapısı ile öğretmen özerkliği algıları arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Araştırmanın evrenini 2022-2023 eğitim-öğretim yılında Elazığ il merkezindeki okullarda görev yapan öğretmenler oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın örneklemi kota örnekleme yöntemiyle belirlenmiş olup araştırma, çeşitli kademelerde görev yapan 461 öğretmenden alınan veriler analiz edilerek gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmada, korelasyonel (ilişkisel) tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Araştırma kapsamında veriler, Kolaylaştırıcı Okul Yapısı Ölçeği (KOYÖ), Öğretmen Özerkliği Ölçeği (ÖÖÖ) ve araştırmacı tarafından hazırlanan kişisel bilgi formu ile toplanmıştır. Araştırmada verilerin analizinde istatistik paket programı kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler betimsel istatistik (ortalama, standart sapma), korelasyon ve regresyon analizi teknikleri ile çözümlenmiştir. Edinilen bulgulara göre öğretmenlerin okullardaki kolaylaştırıcı yapıya ilişkin algılarının yüksek düzeyde olduğu, engelleyici yapıya ilişkin algılarının ise düşük düzeyde olduğu söylenebilir. Ayrıca kolaylaştırıcı yapı algısı arttıkça öğretmen özerkliği algısının artmakta; engelleyici yapı algısı arttıkça öğretmen özerkliği algısının azalmakta olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Bu sonuçlara göre okullarda kolaylaştırıcı yapı algısının oluşturulabilmesine katkı sağlayacak faaliyetlerin gerçekleştirilmesinin yararlı olacağı düşünülmektedir.

Authors: Öztürk Uygar
Published: September 2024

The Kaleidoscope Career Model has emerged as a novel framework within the realm of contemporary career approaches. Within the evolving landscape of the workforce, it offers significant analytical opportunities for individuals to manage their careers more effectively. Comprising parameters of authenticity, balance, and challenge, the Kaleidoscope Career Model reflects a dynamic interplay influenced by career stage, gender, and life circumstances, akin to the ever-changing patterns of a kaleidoscope. The aim of this study is to analyze the influence of employees' levels of work engagement on the Kaleidoscope Career Model and its parameters. Additionally, the study seeks to contribute to the literature on the Kaleidoscope Career Model. The sample for this research consists of employees working in call centers in Trabzon (n=393). Correlation analysis was employed to assess relationships, while simple regression methods were used to evaluate effects. These analyses were conducted using the SPSS package program. The findings reveal that work engagement positively and significantly influences the Kaleidoscope Career Model, balance, and challenge parameters, while negatively impacting authenticity. Another key finding indicates that in periods of high work engagement, the challenge parameter predominates, whereas during periods of low work engagement, the authenticity parameter takes precedence.

Türkiye’nin doğusunda yer alan ve yaklaşık 11.100 km²’lik yüz ölçüme sahip Ağrı ilinin günümüzdeki nüfusu 510 bin civarındadır. Ağrı’da il merkezi de olan Ağrı merkez ilçesinin yanı sıra Eleşkirt, Doğubayazıt, Tutak, Hamur, Taşlıçay, Diyadin ve Patnos ilçeleri de bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı 2000-2022 döneminde Ağrı ilinde demografik yapıdaki değişimi ve bu değişimin nedenlerini verilerle ortaya çıkarmaktır. Çalışmada TÜİK verileri kullanılmış olup çeşitli unsurların zamansal değişimini irdeleyen bu araştırmada nicel yöntem kullanılmıştır. Son yıllarda ülke genelinde olduğu gibi Ağrı ilinde de toplam doğurganlık, kaba doğum ve doğal artış hızının azalmasına bağlı olarak demografik yapı değişmektedir. İlde çocuk nüfusu oranı azalırken çalışma çağı ve yaşlı nüfus oranı artmaktadır. Nitekim 2000 yılı genel nüfus sayımı sonuçlarına göre Ağrı’da çocuk nüfus oranı %46 civarında iken bugün bu oran %33’e inmiştir. 22 yıllık süreçte çalışma çağındaki nüfus oranı %51,2’den %61,6’ya çıkarken yaşlı nüfus oranı ise %2,7’den %5,4’e çıkmıştır. Kısaca 22 yılda çocuk nüfusun payında %13’lük bir azalma meydana gelirken 15-64 yaş grubunun payında yaklaşık %10,4’lük, 65+ yaş nüfusun payında ise yaklaşık %2,7’lik bir artış meydana gelmiştir.

Metaforlar, soyut kavramları daha somut ve anlaşılır bir hale getiren dil araçlarıdır. Türkiye’nin en doğusu ve en batısında bulunan şehirlerde (İzmir-Kars-Iğdır) öğrenim gören lisans Sahne Sanatları ve Müzikoloji öğrencileri üzerinde gerçekleştirilen bu çalışma Doğu ve Batı kültürleri arasındaki metafor algısının tespitine odaklanır. Çalışmada Türkiye’nin Doğu ve Batı bölgelerindeki Güzel Sanatlar Fakültesi öğrencilerinin sanat algılarındaki belirgin farklılıklar incelenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, İzmir'de öğrenim gören öğrenciler sanatı "nefes", "su" ve "yaşam/hayat" metaforlarıyla tanımlarken, Kars ve Iğdır'daki öğrenciler "yaşam/hayat", "su" ve "gökyüzü" metaforlarını tercih etmektedir. Her iki bölgedeki öğrencilerin sanatı hayatın ayrılmaz bir parçası olarak algıladıkları görülmekle birlikte Doğu'daki öğrencilerin doğayla bir ilişki kurduğu tespit edilmiştir. Batı'daki öğrenciler sanatı daha soyut kavramlarla, Doğu'daki öğrenciler ise daha somut ve doğayla ilişkili metaforlarla ifade etmektedir. Doğu'daki öğrencilerin sanat algısı daha çok olumlu değerlere dayalı iken, Batı'da nötr ve eleştirel bakış açısı daha yaygındır. Uygulanan metafor analizinin bölgesel sosyokültürel dinamiklerin sanat algısına etkilerini anlamaya ve öğrencilerin sanata bakış açılarını kültürel bağlamda karşılaştırmaya yardımcı olduğu görülmüştür.
SANAL KİMLİKLER VE SANAL AİDİYET
Authors: Yavuz Yıldız
Published: September 2024

Değişen ve gelişen dünyada toplumsal etki alanları da değişim göstermektedir. Bilgisayarların icadı ve internetin kullanımıyla insanların yeni ortamlara yolculuğu başlamıştır. Bireyler, artık başta kimlik olmak üzere her türlü sanal karakter oluşturma ve geliştirme şansına sahip olmakta, bunu dijital kodlar sayesinde dış dünyaya aktarmaktadırlar. Kimlik aracılığıyla üyesi olunan sanal mecralar, artık her alana sirayet eden bir yapıya dönüşmüştür. Kimlik, gerçekte karşılığı olan ve çok az değişim gösteren yönleri olmasına rağmen sanallık, kimliğin bu unsurunu değişime uğratmaya başlamıştır. Zaman ve mekânın ötesine geçilmesi sanal alandaki kimliğe, istenilen özelliklerin eklenip çıkarılarak yapılandırılabilen bir hal kazandırmıştır. Toplumlardaki topluluk özellikleri ve gruplaşmaların sanala aktarıldığı görülmektedir. Bu sayede toplumdaki gibi belirli bir amaç için bir araya gelen gruplar, sanal cemaatler kavramını oluşturmuştur. Sanal topluluklara üye olmak aidiyetle ilişkilendirilebilen yeni bir olgudur. Sanal kimliğin sunduğu bu yeni özelliği sanal aidiyet olarak adlandırmak yanlış olmayacaktır. Bu çalışmada sanallık çalışmalarında vurgulanan yalnızlık ve toplumdan uzaklaşılma gibi sonuçların aksine sanal aidiyet olgusuna yer verilmiştir. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın konusu sanal kimlikler ve aidiyet temellinde şekillenmektedir. Bu noktada çalışmanın dijitalleşen dünyada yeni boyut kazanmaya başlayan böyle bir konunun çalışılmasının alana önemli bir katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
