MEHMET RAUF’UN EYLÜL ROMANINDA ÜÇGEN ARZU MODELİ
Authors: Gürbüz Adem
Published: December 2024

Üçgen arzu modeli, 20. yüzyılda Fransız eleştirmen Rene Girard’ın ortaya koyduğu bir kuramdır. Edebi eserin gizil yönlerini irdelemeye çalışan bu yöntemde arzuların kaynağı bireyin kendisinde değil; onu güdüleyen unsurlarda aranır. Bu modele göre arzu, arzulayan özne ile arzulanan nesne arasında düz bir çizgi şeklinde oluşmaz, bunun yerine bir tür üçgen oluşturmak suretiyle meydana gelir. Buna göre arzu duyan özne, üçgenin diğer ucundaki dolayımlayıcının tesiriyle arzu duymaya başlar. Girard düz bir çizgi şeklinde oluşan arzuyu romantik ve gerçek dışı, üçgen şeklinde oluşan arzuyu ise romansal ve hakikate daha yakın olarak vasıflandırır. Temel olarak insanda (öznede) doğan arzunun kaynağının kendiliğinden doğmadığını; öznede ortaya çıkan haset, kıskançlık, meyletme, karşılaştırma vb. duyguların onun arzularını da belirlediğini savunur.
Bu çalışma, Mehmet Rauf’un Eylül romanında üçgen arzu modelinin yansımalarını irdelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. İncelemede üçlü aşk ilişkisi üzerine kurulan Eylül’de roman kişilerinin hangi etkenlerle arzu duymaya başladığı irdelenecektir. Çalışma neticesinde romandaki aşk ilişkilerinin, basit bir tensel arzu olarak ortaya çıkmadığı, arzuların kaynağının sadece fizyolojik olmadığı, öznenin arzusunu tetikleyen dolayımlayıcıların dikkat çektiği tespit edilmiştir. Bu bağlamda eser Girard’ın modeline göre değerlendirildiğinde arzunun kaynağının dolayımlayıcıdan kaynaklanmasından dolayı (üçgen arzu) romantik bir eser olarak değil, roman kurallarına daha uygun ve hakikate daha yakın bir eser olarak değerlendirilebilir.

Authors: Ermillian Ade , Nugroho Kristiawan
Published: December 2024

The phenomenon of student dropouts is one of the main challenges in education, influenced by various factors such as absenteeism, economic pressures on families, low academic performance, and lack of motivation. This issue not only affects the personal development of students but also tarnishes the reputation of educational institutions. Therefore, an innovative technology-based approach, such as data mining, is needed to detect students at risk of dropping out early. This study aims to design a model for detecting the potential of school dropout students using Logistic Regression and Decision Tree methods based on student data from SMA N 4 Tegal. The variables used in the analysis include demographic, academic, and social information such as absenteeism, average semester grades, parental income, and transportation type. The dataset is processed using one-hot encoding and label encoding techniques to convert categorical data into numeric values. The results indicate that both methods have their respective advantages. The Decision Tree model achieves high precision, especially in predicting students who continue their education, with a precision of 0.99 for the "Continue School" class. However, recall for the "Dropout" class remains low (0.60), indicating the need for improvements in detecting students at risk of dropping out. On the other hand, the Logistic Regression model shows better balance in detecting both classes, with more balanced accuracy and recall. This study concludes that both models can be used to monitor the potential of school dropouts and provide data-driven recommendations for more accurate educational decision-making.

Modeling energy and stress concentration in diesel engines with flexible crankshaft
Authors: Almoslehy Salah , Hadi Yaser
Published: December 2024

Diesel engines feature significant power but result in huge dynamics that is related to the flexibility of crankshaft. Such flexibility decreases the air mass flow rate, resulting in a higher rate of CO exhaust emission. Since the analytical modeling of such dynamics has not been done yet, the present paper investigates the strain energy-based aspects, frequency-related aspects and stress concentration in diesel engines with flexible crankshaft. The result shows that the most influential parameters onto the strain energy of flexible crankshafts are the mass moment of inertia and the distance between the crank and the bearing of crankshaft. The radial force is several times larger than the tangential force. The force due to cylinder's pressure is several times larger than the force due to inertia, which is in turn several times larger than the force due to eccentricity. The study remedies the stress concentration in crankshaft by identifying: (i) the location of the most critical section of stress concentration, (ii) the effect of the radius of the crankpin shoulder fillet on the maximum shearing stress and maximum bending stress that can be withstood by the crankpin. The study facilitates determining the value of the radius of the crankpin shoulder fillet that remedies the stress concentration in the most critical section in crankshaft. The paper formulates the stress concentration factor and provides the sensitivity analysis thereon. The proposed models enable better performance of diesel engines, prolonging their service life and improving air quality.

Published: December 2024

This study addresses the significant role of territorial branding as a strategic tool in public administration, particularly in the context of increasing globalization and regional competition. As regions strive to distinguish themselves on the global stage, the establishment of unique territorial brands emerges as a means to enhance economic growth, social development, and the overall quality of life for local populations. The paper discusses the necessity of territorial branding in fostering a positive regional image, bolstering regional identity, and attracting investments while promoting tourism and local businesses. Despite the growing interest in this field, there remains a gap in the theoretical understanding of territorial branding and practical guidelines for its implementation within public governance frameworks. This research aims to explore the essence, functions, and mechanisms of territorial branding, providing insights into its impact on shaping a region's image and identity. It emphasizes the importance of developing comprehensive branding strategies that consider the socio-cultural and economic nuances of each area. The analysis includes a review of contemporary scholarly works, highlighting contributions from leading researchers in Ukraine. The findings suggest that successful territorial branding relies on local community engagement, effective communication, and the alignment of branding initiatives with the region's unique cultural and economic resources. The study ultimately advocates for the integration of innovative branding practices into public administration to address contemporary challenges and leverage opportunities for sustainable regional development. Through a methodical examination of existing literature and theoretical models, this paper identifies key factors influencing effective territorial branding, such as cultural heritage, natural resources, economic opportunities, infrastructure, and overall quality of life. By synthesizing these aspects, the research offers practical recommendations for policymakers and public administrators to enhance the effectiveness of territorial branding efforts in Ukraine and beyond. This study serves as a foundational resource for further exploration of territorial branding as an essential component of regional development strategies.

Authors: Yakobchuk Valentyna , Ivaniuk Olga , Krut Volodymyr
Published: December 2024

In the conditions of martial state, the need for fast and accurate processing of large volumes of information, especially in the field of health care, is increasing. This is due to a lack of resources, an increase in the number of victims of military operations, displaced persons, the complication of access to medical services in connection with hostilities, the loss of individual specialists and information arrays, as well as increased risks for information security and the entire process of public management of information technologies in the health care field.
The public administration of information technologies in health care is becoming critical to ensure the stability of healthcare services, support communications between healthcare facilities and government agencies, and effectively process and protect healthcare data.
The analysis of scientific works on the issue of the public administration of information technologies in health care under the conditions of martial state is insufficiently researched. The article highlights the main challenges of the industry related to the war: ensuring the continuity of medical services, the appropriateness of public administration decision-making in conditions of limited access to open information, problems with logistics, and stable power supply, information protection and cyber security, shortage of qualified personnel; adopted management decisions, and information technology tools, which were used by authorities at the state and regional levels to respond to new challenges, were investigated. In the article, we are offered some recommendations for the further development and management of information technologies in the healthcare field. The main ones are further measures to strengthen cybersecurity, namely the widespread implementation of the Digital Competency Framework for Healthcare Workers in various areas, the implementation of modern information protection systems, the implementation of an information security policy, measures to legalize and update software, deepening the integration of mHealth into the existing eHealth system to enable rapid and remote collection of medical information and the introduction of artificial intelligence elements into healthcare management processes.

PROSPECTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PET FOOD MARKET IN UKRAINE
Authors: Sergiychuk Sergiy , Molochan Hryhorii
Published: December 2024

The article examines current challenges and prospects for the development of the pet food market in Ukraine during the war. The main problems of the market include: disruption of logistics, supply and difficulties with the delivery of raw materials and finished products; limited availability of foreign raw materials, on which most feed producers depend; reduced purchasing power of the population, which forces some consumers to switch to more affordable feed or even to alternative types of pet food. Rising prices due to economic instability and declining incomes put additional pressure on the market, limiting growth opportunities.
The general dynamics of sales in the Ukrainian cat and dog food market was analyzed, which showed a steady increase in sales of pet food in Ukraine from 2018 to 2021. However, starting in 2022, there was a sharp slowdown in growth rates, and in 2023, a slight decline was even recorded. This indicates that the full-scale war in Ukraine has had a significant impact on the pet food market.
The reasons for the growth of the feed market in Ukraine in 2024 and the main trends observed are the growing responsibility of pet owners and the formation of a culture of attitude towards animals, which is not only to provide them with quality food; the domestic feed market is not much different from the markets of Eastern Europe and already has about 100 different brands; people want to buy the product in convenient packaging, which makes adjustments to the usual strategies of manufacturers; in Ukraine, sales have somewhat shifted to online shopping. In 2023, we see a positive trend in online sales, which is one third higher than last year. In 2023, online sales reached 4434 tons and UAH 331 million excluding VAT. In general, online channels are growing faster than physical channels year after year, and this trend has continued.
Ukrainian companies should focus on is expanding the range of pet food in the middle price category, as 75% of respondents choose a product based primarily on its price. Given the growing demand for pet food produced by Ukrainian producers globally, and the fact that every tenth ton is exported abroad, we believe that Ukrainian companies should increase the supply of all types of pet food to international markets and consider entering new markets, particularly in Northern Europe.

The Role of Psychological Capital and Job Securities Factors on Shaping Readiness to Change
Authors: Guritna Emmanuel Taru , Arbiansyah Tri Panca Titis
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the challenges construction sector companies face due to market disruptions and the lack of innovation, with a specific focus on PT Wijaya Karya (WIKA), a leading Indonesian construction firm. Drawing on Kodak's failure as a cautionary example of the risks of neglecting technological advancements, the research underscores the critical need for companies to remain adaptable and ready to innovate to address evolving customer demands. In response to a significant financial loss of IDR 7.13 trillion in 2023, WIKA implemented cost-saving measures, including workforce restructuring and halting recruitment. Despite these setbacks, the company showcased resilience by initiating innovative projects, such as electric motorcycles and precast concrete technologies, contributing to its recovery. The research emphasizes WIKA's initiatives to cultivate employee readiness for change through programs like Wikasatrian and technology skills development. Utilizing a descriptive quantitative approach, the study surveyed 233 managers and directors from government-owned construction firms (BUMN), employing instruments to measure readiness for change, psychological capital, and job security. Data analysis using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) confirmed that psychological capital plays a critical mediating role between job security and readiness to change. Findings reveal that job security significantly impacts readiness to change, with psychological capital acting as a strong mediator. The study highlights the importance of investing in psychological resources to foster adaptability, particularly in sectors undergoing technological and organizational transformations. The model demonstrated strong validity, with fit indices including GFI (0.90), CFI (0.98), TLI (0.97), NFI (0.97), and RMSEA (0.09), affirming its robustness and providing valuable insights into the public construction sector, an area often underexplored in previous research.

Sharia Banking Stocks: The Role of Profitability and Financial Performance
Authors: Aldy Kurnia Santoso  , Bayu Wijayantini  , Achmad Hasan Hafidzi
Published: December 2024

The increasing awareness among Muslims to adhere to Sharia principles in their daily lives has contributed to a rise in investment in Sharia-compliant stocks, particularly within the Sharia banking sector. This sector, which aligns with Islamic principles, offers potential investment opportunities that can be evaluated by analyzing key financial metrics such as profitability and financial performance, derived from company financial reports. This research aims to examine the impact of four financial indicators—Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), Earnings Per Share (EPS), and Price Earnings Ratio (PER)—on the stock prices of Sharia banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2019 to 2023. Using a quantitative research approach, the study employs the SPSS version 29 data processing application, utilizing 60 data points from three Sharia banking companies: PNBS, BRIS, and BTPS. The results of the data analysis reveal that Return on Assets (ROA) has a significant positive effect on stock prices, indicating that higher asset returns are associated with higher stock values. Similarly, Earnings Per Share (EPS) also shows a significant positive impact on stock prices, suggesting that increased earnings per share contribute to the appreciation of stock values. On the other hand, Return on Equity (ROE) and Price Earnings Ratio (PER) were found to have no significant effect on stock prices in the context of this study. These findings provide insights into the financial indicators that influence stock prices in the Sharia banking sector, offering valuable information for investors and financial analysts.

Background: Depression and anxiety disorders commonly have an onset in adolescence. Although school is an important environment for adolescents, evidence regarding the association between school-related factors and internalizing symptoms is limited. The objective of the current study is to provide further insight into these associations.Method: 383 adolescents filled out online questionnaires regarding their well-being and school experiences in fall 2021. Of these, 257 also filled in follow-up questionnaires in spring 2022. We assessed internalizing symptoms and well-being at baseline and follow-up. At baseline, we assessed the following school-related factors: school year, educational track, school grades, perceived school difficulty, receipt of educational support outside of school, school climate, and academic expectations stress. We used linear models to investigate cross-sectional and longitudinal univariable associations between school-related factors and internalizing symptoms and well-being. Elastic net models were then used to investigate multivariable models.Results: At baseline, greater internal and external expectations stress were associated with more internalizing symptoms and reduced well-being, while better ratings for the school climate dimensions teacher-student relationships, academic support, and school connectednesswere associated with fewer internalizing symptoms and better well-being. In longitudinal models, greater internal expectations stress and lower perceived academic support were associated with more internalizing symptoms and reduced well-being, although only the association between internal expectations stress and depression was retained in a multivariable model.Conclusions: We found strong cross-sectional associations between several dimensions of school climate as well as academic expectations stress and internalizing symptoms. Longitudinally, only internal expectations stress and, to a lesser extent, academic support were predictive. Further research is warranted to investigate whether these longitudinal associations represent causal associations.
Modified Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Method for Intervertebral Discs Study
Authors: Beckford Will
Published: December 2024

Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is a major cause of low back pain and disability. Quantitative MRI techniques can provide valuable information about the biochemical and structural changes in IVDs, enabling earlier diagnosis and monitoring of disc degeneration. However, current quantitative MRI methods have limitations in terms of spatial resolution, scan time, and sensitivity to certain disc components. In this paper, we present a modified quantitative MRI approach that addresses these limitations and improves the assessment of IVD properties. The method combines advanced MRI sequences, including T2* mapping and diffusion tensor imaging, to derive multiple quantitative parameters that characterize the water content, collagen network, and microstructural integrity of the IVD. We demonstrate the application of this approach in a pilot study of healthy and degenerated discs, highlighting its potential for enhancing the understanding of IVD pathophysiology and guiding targeted interventions.
Measuring Naturalistic Speech Comprehension in Real Time

Speech comprehension has been described as an effortless and robust process; yet, in real-world contexts, it is common for a listener to misunderstand what was said, or fail to derive meaning entirely. Typically, methods of measuring speech comprehension are applied `post-hoc' - that is, after the comprehension has happened. This lacks the time resolution necessary to capture comprehension as it dynamically unfolds, and introduces memory confounds. The absence of appropriate time-resolved behavioral measurements has limited the field's understanding of the neural processes involved in online comprehension. To overcome these challenges, we designed and tested a novel way of measuring real-time speech comprehension during naturalistic listening. We built a slider device that synchronizes with behavioral and neural recording software and provides millisecond read-out. Thirty participants listened to audiobook segments while providing continuous comprehension ratings using the slider. To vary comprehension success, we presented speech segments at speed factors 1-5 times faster than normal. We validated the time-resolved slider data against established speech comprehension assessment methods: (i) 10-point scale rating, (ii) multiple choice question, and (iii) written summary, and obtained working memory and auditory acuity performance to account for by-participant variability that is not related to comprehension. Overall, our findings validate our novel time-resolved comprehension measure and demonstrate that it is possible to derive an online behavioral measure of real-time speech comprehension, the lack of which has been a major limitation of naturalistic language studies. We also confirmed numerous limitations of static post-hoc assessments, including challenges of multi-choice question design, and the confounding of potential effects due to recency bias and comprehension for summarization. The measure proposed here overcomes the constraints of static post-hoc assessments and can be effectively integrated with neuroimaging techniques, offering a valuable tool for future research on dynamic processes during naturalistic listening.
