Authors: Amer Mohamed , Kovaleva Anna
Published: January 2025

The valorization of cultural identity-centered brand icons has become a requested action nowadays, promoting the marketing statement of local heritage sites that aren’t designated as UNESCO World Heritage. Thus, these sites might compete to enhance and safeguard cultural heritage and authentic cultural knowledge. Moreover, lessening the high negative impact of the customization approach on the conservation statement of the cultural asset, the research adopts a people-centered approach developing the interlinkages between cultural tourism marketing and conservative management to enhance the rapport between the community and the palace in a community-based cultural tourism manner. Therefore, this empirical study reviews the cultural significance of the Farnese Palace in Caprarola and its reflection on its marketing statement, developing its brand image. It applies an integrated method that combines quantitative and qualitative analysis. It mainly assesses 165 online questionnaires with the public audience. The findings of this study draw a proposal for generating a people-centered heritage branding image (logo and slogan) of the Farnese Palace in Caprarola that seeks to generate a lifelong learning memory for the community and a long-term brand image for the visitors’ mentality.

Published: January 2025

6 Şubat 2023’te yaşanan deprem felaketi sonrasında özellikle barınma konutlarının inşaası ve altyapı çalışmalarının tamamlanabilmesi öncelikli konu başlıklarındandır. Ülke ekonomisinin ve deprem bölgesinin yeniden ayağa kaldırılması adıan önemli fonksiyonları olan İnşaat ve Çimento sektörlerinde faaliyet gösteren firmaların finansal performanslarının belirlenmesi ve analiz edilmesi büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bu sektörlerde faaliyette bulunan firmaların finansal performanslarının değerlendirilmesi, sektördeki konumlarının tespit edilmesi ve finansal durumları açısından rakiplerine göre konumlarının belirlenmesi sektörün durumu hakkında önemli bilgiler verecektir. Bu nedenle bu çalışmada hisseleri BİST’te işlem gören İnşaat ve Çimento firmalarının finansal performansları araştırma konusunu oluşturmaktadır. Deprem nedeniyle oluşan bu zor şartlardan bir an önce çıkılabilmesi için inşaat ve çimento sektörlerinin finansal olarak da başarılı seviyede olması beklenmektedir. Dolayısıyla sektörlerde firmaların finansal performanslarının başarı seviyeleri CRITIC tabanlı TOPSIS yöntemiyle ölçülmüş ve sıralama yapılmıştır. Son üç yılın üçüncü çeyrek (9 aylık) finansal verileri esas alınarak yapılan hesaplamalarda deprem sonrası 2023/9 döneminin finansal performans değerlemesinde firmaların büyük kısmı açısından en başarılı dönem olduğu görülmüştür.

Authors: Bahadır Ziynet , Ay Faruk
Published: January 2025

Doğal afetlerden depremin birey ve toplum üzerinde etkisi çok yönlüdür. Bu çalışmada depremi yaşayan bireylerin deprem kaygısı ile başa çıkmasında olumlu ve olumsuz dini başa çıkma davranışları olup olmadığı ele alınmıştır. Kısaca, deprem kaygısı ve bununla başa çıkmada dini inanç, tutum ve davranış ilişkisi ile sınırlı bir çalışma yapılmıştır. Çalışmanın evrenini Türkiye’de 6 Şubat 2023 tarihinde yaşanan iki büyük depremden kurtularak Sivas KYK yurtlarında misafir edilenler oluşturmuş, bu evrenden 357 kişiden oluşan bir örneklem seçilerek bunların dini başa çıkma ve kaygı düzeyleri incelenmiştir. Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel türde olan bu çalışmada SPSS 23.0 programı aracılığıyla ortalama, Mann-Whitney U testi, Kruskall-Wallis H testi, Spearman'srhokorelasyon ve regresyon analizlerinden yararlanılmıştır.
Araştırma bulgularında, depremzedelerin deprem kaygı düzeylerinin (3,08) “orta” düzeyde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Depremzedelerin pozitif dini başa çıkma puanları daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Deprem kaygısı puanları kadınlarda daha yüksektir. Pozitif dini başa çıkma puanlarına göre katılımcıların cinsiyet, yaş, medeni durum, eğitim durumu, geldikleri deprem bölgesi ve dindarlık durumları değişkenleri arasında anlamlı farklılıklar saptanmıştır. Negatif dini başa çıkma puanlarına göre katılımcıların cinsiyet, yaş, eğitim durumu ve dindarlık durumları değişkenleri arasında anlamlı farklılıklar saptanmıştır. Depremzedelerin pozitif dini başa çıkma ölçek maddelerine verdikleri cevapların, en çok “Allah’ın sevgisini isteme”, “Allah’tan bağışlanmayı dileme” ve “Allah’ın sabırlı olmayı emrettiğini hatırlama” şeklinde olduğu görülmüştür. Depremzedelerin negatif dini başa çıkma ölçek maddelerine verdikleri cevaplarda, “Allah’ın yaşanılan olumsuz durumlarda kendisini cezalandırdığını düşündükleri” görülmüştür.
Sonuç olarak, deprem kaygısının olumlu dini başa çıkmayı pozitif etkilediği saptanmıştır. Depremzedelerin yaşadıkları depremi hatırlatıcı olay ve bilgilerden olumsuz etkilendikleri, daha çok olumlu dini başa çıkmayı tercih ettikleri belirlenmiştir.
Pozitivizm ve Post-Pozitivizm Kıskacında Uluslararası İlişkiler
Authors: Avcı Yasin , Arslantaş Emre
Published: January 2025

Sosyal bilimlerin görece geç bir disiplini olan Uluslararası İlişkiler (Uİ) kuruluşundan itibaren pozitivist bir hüviyete sahip olmuştur. Bu hüviyetin en açık göstergesi ana akım Uİ teorilerinin pozitivist varsayımlar üzerine bina edilmesi kadar disiplinin tarihi anlatısında araçsallaştırılan büyük tartışmalarda tarafların bilim ile kastettiklerinin pozitivist bilim felsefesi olmasıdır. Dolayısıyla Uİ’nin son büyük tartışması olan Pozitivizm-Postpozitivizm tartışmasına kadar disiplinin pozitivist bir hegemonyanın tahakkümünde olduğunu ileri sürmek mümkündür. Bu durum Uİ mensuplarının doğa bilimlerinin yakaladığı öngörü, evrensellik ve genel-geçer bilgi üretme başarısını Uİ’de de yakalama isteği kadar, bir sosyal bilim disiplini olarak Uİ’nin bilimselliğini kanıtlama çabasının da sonucudur. Bu bakımdan I. Dünya Savaşı sonrasında kurulan ve II. Dünya Savaşı sonrasında da bilimsel otonomisi ile özerkliğini ispat etmeye çalışan Uİ’de, kuruluşuna kodlanan pozitivist bilim felsefesi Davranışsalcılık ile altın çağını yaşamıştır. Ancak pozitivist Uİ ve teorilerinin disiplinde yarattığı devlet-merkezcilik, batı-merkezlilik ve iç-dış, anarşi-hiyerarşi şeklindeki suni dikotomilere bağlılık gibi sorunlar 1980’li yıllarla birlikte pozitivizmin eleştirilmesine, Uİ’de de post-pozitivist bir gündemin ortaya çıkmasına sebebiyet vermiştir. Post-pozitivizmin bahse konu pozitivist hegemonyayı aşıp aşamadığı ya da ne ölçüde aştığı önemli bir sorundur. Tüm bu noktalardan hareketle Uİ’nin pozitivizm ve post-pozitivizmin arasında kalmış durumunun irdelendiği bu çalışmada, ilk olarak pozitivizmin ardından da post-pozitivizmin Uİ ve teorileri nezdinde yarattığı sonuçlar üzerinde durulmuştur.

Authors: Çelik Zehra , Ekşi İbrahim Halil , Coşkun Yener
Published: January 2025

Gayrimenkul yatırım ortaklıkları (GYO) kollektif yatırım şirketi olarak hem yatırımcılar hem de ülke ekonomisi açısından oldukça önemli kurumlardır. Her ülkede farklı kuruluş şartları ve mevzuat hükümlerine tabi olsalar da, en temel amaçları küçük birikimleri bir araya getirip büyük gayrimenkul projelerine finansman sağlayıp yatırım yapılmasını sağlamaktır. GYO’ların konuttan arsaya, turizmden ticariye, AVM’lerden otele kadar yatırım yapabileceği birçok yatırım olanağı söz konusudur. Bu anlamda bir GYO’nun hangi gayrimenkule ne kadar yatırım yapılacağı sorusu çeşitlendirme kavramını ortaya çıkarmaktadır. Buradan yola çıkarak bu çalışmanın amacı, Türk GYO’larının performansında mülk çeşitlendirmesinin etkisini araştırmaktır. Bu çerçevede Türkiye’de faaliyet gösteren 18 GYO’nun 2013Q1-2021Q1 dönemi için panel veri analizi yapılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, mülk türü çeşitlendirmesinin Türk GYO’larının performansında sadece özsermaye karlılığı (ROE) üzerinde pozitif etkisine rastlanmıştır.
Dil Öğretiminde Kültür Aktarımı Bağlamında Mitolojik ve Arkeolojik Ögeler
Authors: Yumru Dilek
Published: January 2025

Dil öğretimi, kültür aktarımı, bizi o topluma ait inanç ve değerlerini keşfetmeye yöneltir. Bunun için de hedef toplumun günlük yaşamında varlığını sürdüren, değer ve inançlarının kökenindeki bilgiyi içeren mitolojik ögeleri, arkeolojik verileri öğrenmek; o topraklarda hangi kültürlerin, devletlerin, milletlerin yaşadığını keşfetmek ve alt yapıdaki bu derin birikimin farkında olmak o toplumu kültürel olarak anlamanın ilk basamaklarından olabilir. Hedef kültüre ait mitolojinin ve arkeolojik kalıntıların varlığı; gündelik yaşamın, popüler kültürün, teknoloji aracılığıyla etkileşimi artmış, birbirine benzeyen nitelikler gösteren milletlerin ortaklaşmış özelliklerinden arınarak gerçek toplumsal kültürel alt yapıyı bireye fark ettirecektir. Bu nedenle Türk kültüründen yola çıkmak gerekirse bu kültüre merak salmış, Türkçe öğrenmek isteyen bireylere Türk mitolojisini ana hatlarıyla tanıtmak uygun olacaktır. Bu noktada yabancı dil öğretiminde kullanılan ders kitapları oldukça önemli bir görev üstlenir.
Ders kitaplarındaki metinler, o toplumun kültürünü aktaran içeriklerle doldurulmalıdır. Mitolojik ögelerin bazzıları, yaşamın içinde canlı biçimde toplumda yaşamaktadır. Bu nedenle bu konunun ders kitaplarında yer alması, kültürel birçok davranışa açıklık getirecektir.
Genel olarak gündelik hayatta sıkça karşılaşılan ve dikkat çeken belli başlı mitolojik konular şunlardır: Kahramanlar, hayvanlar, doğa, gezegenler… Bu sıralanan içerikler gündelik yaşamda yer edinmiş, toplumun bilinçaltında yatan önemli ögelerden birkaçıdır. Türkçe öğrenenler antik yerleri, mitolojik hikayeleri, efsaneleriyle öğrendiklerinde o toplumu daha iyi anlayacaklardır.
The Future of International Trade and the European Economic Security Strategy
Authors: Padovan Marco , Cusimano Nicolò
Published: January 2025

This article examines the future of international trade as envisioned by the European Union (EU) through the lens of the European Economic Security Strategy (‘EESS’). The international political landscape, reshaped by recent major events such as the war in Ukraine, the definitive rupture in relations between the G7 nations and Russia and the intensifying rivalry between the United States (US) and China – along with the resulting so-called ‘decoupling’ of their economies – has led to new security challenges for the EU. The EESS aims to define EU strategies to meet these challenges, achieving not only economic, but also social and national security. The Union strategy is based on three main pillars: (1) enhancing the competitiveness of its economy by strengthening the Single Market through significant investments in strategic sectors; (2) protecting its economic security by implementing measures to safeguard its market and intellectual capital, while enhancing its supply chains; and (3) reinforcing its international relations, bearing in mind that the world is increasingly shifting towards a ‘small yard, high fence’ dynamic. The ultimate goal is to strike the right balance between EU strategic autonomy and free trade.
The FSR’s Beginnings: Ten Substantive and Procedural Questions and a Few First Answers
Authors: Laprévote François-Charles , Lin Wanjie
Published: January 2025

The EU Foreign Subsidies Regulation is the newest instrument in the European Commission’s antitrust toolbox, and thus far the only regime in the world to target competitive distortions caused by subsidies granted abroad. In this article, we look back on the FSR’s first year through the lens of ten substantive and procedural questions. These issues include: the interplay between the two notification regimes and ex officio powers, the interpretation of basic concepts, and the FSR’s interaction with trade defence and State aid. With the EU’s plans to vigorously enforce the FSR, it is more important than ever to understand this regulation, and this contribution aims to further the debate.
From APEC to Global: The Establishment of the Global CBPR Forum
Authors: Callo-Müller María Vásquez
Published: January 2025

This article examines the inception and establishment of the Global Cross Border Privacy Rules (‘CBPR’) Forum, a recent and significant initiative aimed at facilitating cross-border personal data flows across different jurisdictions. The importance of the Global CBPR Forum is considerable. Since its inception, it has attracted the interest of over a dozen countries and leading internet companies, underscoring the pressing need to develop effective mechanisms for facilitating cross-border data flows. The Global CBPR Forum is built upon the foundation of the existing Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (‘APEC’) CBPR System. However, despite its pioneering role, scholarly analysis of the APEC System’s effectiveness remains scarce. This article addresses this critical gap by comprehensively examining the APEC System’s origins and performance to date. By contextualizing the Global CBPR Forum within its predecessor, the article offers crucial insights for its practical implementation and ultimate success.
International Tax Cooperation in a Multipolar World
Authors: Broekhuijsen D.M. , van Apeldoorn L.C.J.
Published: January 2025

The recent adoption by the UN General Assembly of the resolution of 22 December 2023 calling for the development of a framework convention (A/ RES/78/230 2023) to strengthen international tax cooperation aligns with the liberal promise of legitimate, fair, and stable international tax governance institutions. In this article, the authors argue that there is reason to doubt that promise. They consider the more sober neorealist view of international relations according to which the world is characterized by zero-sum competition between the major powers whose most important aim is to secure their own survival. This perspective has remained underexplored in the international tax literature and suggests that adopting the UN General Assembly Resolution is unlikely to promote the stability and fairness of international tax cooperation. It rather serves as a warning that geopolitical tensions have infiltrated international tax matters and threaten the stability of the international tax regime as it is currently known.
Knowledge Generation Through Open Access and Generative Artificial
Intelligence
Authors: Hombana Thamsanqa
Published: January 2025

The amount of data generated by scientific knowledge is growing exponentially,
much faster than natural intelligence, making it increasingly more challenging for
researchers to manage their data. Reputable Generative AI (GenAI) is seen as a crucial
instrument to help modern researchers facilitate ethical publications and knowledge
production. This study looks at how South African researchers can move the development
of ethical knowledge using artificial intelligence by utilizing open access
methodologies and practices. GenAI has completely changed the scientific research
landscape by providing advanced tools for knowledge generation, data management, and
ethical publishing. In South Africa, researchers are using GenAI more and more to handle
the complexity of modern research data. The goal of this paper is to demonstrate how
functional knowledge can be produced and utilized through AI tools, emphasizing the
advantages of open access to scientific data and its moral ramifications. When ethical
GenAI and Open Access (OA) are incorporated into South African higher education, the
implications for universal access to knowledge are profound. The creation and
distribution of scientific knowledge are significantly impacted by OA since it reduces
the time needed to share research findings and broadens the pool of potential knowledge
recipients (Bernius 2010b). Key Words:  Open Access, Ethical Knowledge Creation,

Authors: AL-Lebawy Noor Sami , Nahab Hedaa M. , Abdulkareem Aws Z.
Published: January 2025

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), caused by SARS-CoV-2, has led to a global pandemic and devastating health crisis. Coronavirus (COVID-19) is associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2), and the exaggerated immune response resulting from infection with this disease leads to high rates of morbidity and mortality.  Activation may have a contribution to disease severity.A case study was carried out in order to find the association between COVID-19, TNF-α, IL-8 and IL-2. The effect of age, sex, smoking, diabetic and hypertention on the level of the studied cytokines were evaluated. Inaddition, the influnce of COVID-19 severity on TNF-α, IL-8 and IL-2 levels were studied. Blood samples were collected from 50 Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) patients who visited of Al-Hussein Teaching hospital and 50 control people, during the period from (May -November 2021). The ages of the patients ranged from (Twenty two years to seventy six years). The serum samples were used in detection of TNF-α , IL-8 and IL-2  by using ELISA test. Then   the collected data was analysed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) program version 11. The results showed that that the most affected age group was (40-60) years old followed by less than 40 years old and more than 60 years old. The numbers of patients were 29, 11 and 10 respectively. Most of COVID-19 patients were male (56 %:28), while the rest cases were females (44%:22). The mean values of the studied cytokines in COVID-19 patients in both sex and all age groups were more than their counter parters in H.C group. The effect of main risk factors for severe and long COVID-19 include age, sex, smoking, presence of comorbidities (diabetes, hypertension) on variations in the level of studied cytokines of the host were found significantly. Moreover, the effect of COVID-19 severity on the studied cytokines was highly significants. The maximum values of cytokines were obtaind in critical degree followed by severe and moderate severity.  It is concluded from the study's results that patients infected with severe SARS-CoV-2 experience increasing proinflammatory tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-2 and interleukin-8 that produce signaling the initial phase of cytokine storm. Thus, further studies should be conducted to use the studied cytokines inhibitors as a treatment for COVID-19 patients.
Empirical Study: Delay at the Madras High Court in Preventive Detention Cases
Authors: Bhardwaj Shrutanjaya
Published: January 2025

This paper examines the delays in the adjudication of habeas corpus petitions in preventive detention cases by the Madras High Court. Preventive detention, an extraordinary measure authorized under Indian law, poses significant threats to personal liberty. Drawing on a dataset of 7,448 cases spanning 22 years (2000–2022), the study evaluates the court’s efficiency in handling such petitions. Key findings reveal that the court takes an average of 141 days to dispose of a petition, with detenus spending an average of 181 days in detention before their release. Alarmingly, in 30 cases, the maximum detention period lapsed while the petitions were pending, and in 722 cases, detention orders were revoked by the government before judicial resolution. The paper underscores the urgent need for expedited judicial processes, self-monitoring mechanisms, and compensation for illegal detentions to safeguard personal liberty. The study also calls for similar analyses of other High Courts to identify systemic trends.
The Effect of Corn Cob Powder and Oat Fibre Incorporation in Physicochemical Properties and Sensory Acceptance of Otak-Otak
Authors: Ahmad Fisal , Sapiee Muhamat Hafiz
Published: January 2025

Otak-otak is well-known as a traditional local food in Malaysia. It is made from fish meat, tapioca flour, and many spices. This study investigates the effect of corn cob powder and oat fibre incorporation on the physicochemical properties and sensory acceptance of otak-otak with different formulations. The formulations used control A (100% tapioca flour), B (0% CCP: 100% oat fibre), C (25% CCP: 75% oat fibre), D (50% CCP: 50% oat fibre), E (75% CCP: 25% oat fibre), and F (100% CCP: 0% oat fibre). The proximate analysis showed that otak-otak incorporated with CCP and oat fibre significantly differed (p<0.05) regarding crude fibre and fat. Physical analysis showed that the colour of the otak-otak for L* value ranges from 53.71 to 57.58, a* value ranges from 13.15 to 15.10, b* value ranges from 32.80 to 35.21 and the ΔE 0.96 to 4.86. For texture profile analysis, the hardness ranges from 2147.60 to 5006.00 (g), springiness ranges from 0.39 to 0.66 (mm), cohesiveness ranges from 0.35 to 0.48, and chewiness ranges from 370.40 to 1459.90 (gf). For sensory evaluation, the control formulation still the highest chosen by the panellist but has no significant difference (p<0.05) with formulation E (75% CCP: 25% oat fibre) and formulation C (25% CCP: 75% oat fibre). Therefore, from this study, we successfully developed otak-otak by adding corn cob powder and oat fibre.

Published: January 2025

Evolutionary conservation of key biological pathways between the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster and humans and reduced genetic redundancy have long made flies a valuable genetic model organism. Thanks to the arsenal of sophisticated genetic tools developed and refined by the fly community, the use of Drosophila has expanded well beyond basic research. From the fundamental notion that genes are located on chromosomes to modeling human complex diseases such as cancer and neurological disorders, to designing fly “avatar” lines that precisely reproduce the specific mutations found in single cancer patients for personalized medicine, Drosophila continues to fuel biomedical advances. Numerous examples of drug testing in flies have yielded novel drug candidates, new uses for approved drugs, and applications for rapid drug optimization in modern approaches combining biology with medicinal chemistry. Thanks to the effectiveness of “fly pharmacology” approaches, Drosophila is also proficiently used to study the mechanism of action of environmental pollutants, that represent a serious concern to human health. This review traces the history of some of the main advances in Drosophila biomedical and cancer research.

Published: January 2025

The lack of motivation represents one of the main causes of students' lack of interest in teaching chemistry and to arouse their interest it is necessary to differentiate in class. A promising resource to achieve this goal is the use of playful activities. Playful activities are considered didactic tools that can motivate and make learning more pleasurable and meaningful. In this work, a previous investigation was carried out with students from a class of the 1st year of high school, about the use of play, as well as about the content to be worked on, and later the application of the game was analyzed. This tool was created based on the so-called "Hot Potato", where conceptual issues were worked on as a team following a different dynamic. It is possible to notice the development of personal knowledge, in this way the game enabled students to learn in a pleasurable way, in a context disconnected from the formal learning situation. With this, it can be affirmed through the speeches during the application and in the post-game questionnaire that its insertion in the school daily life is very important, as it becomes easier and more dynamic the teaching-learning process.
RACISMO, MOVIMENTO NEGRO BRASILEIRO E A SAÚDE DA POPULAÇÃO NEGRA
Authors: De Sousa Ana Carolina Magiero , Sarreta Fernanda de Oliveira
Published: January 2025

O presente artigo tem como objetivo compreender como o racismo influencia a saúde da população negra e, a partir disso, apresentar, por meio de pequenos recortes históricos, a luta do movimento negro brasileiro por conquistas na saúde pública. Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica e documental fundamentada no materialismo histórico-dialético, uma vez que se entende que a realidade é dinâmica e contraditória, sendo necessário desvendar as camadas de imediaticidade que envolvem o tema. Compreende-se que, devido às desigualdades em saúde que afetam pessoas negras, fruto do racismo estrutural, o movimento negro brasileiro desempenha um papel fundamental na construção de políticas públicas de saúde voltadas à redução dessas disparidades. Contudo, é imprescindível reconhecer que ainda há muito a ser feito, uma vez que, conforme apontado por determinados indicadores de saúde, uma parcela significativa da população negra continua enfrentando discriminações raciais promovidas pelo racismo institucional presente na política de saúde brasileira.
The Implications of Integrating Naturalised Refugees on National Security in Tanzania: Insights from Katumba Old Settlement
Authors: Laurent Adventina
Published: January 2025

The threats of flight-related factors of the integrated refugees on Tanzania’s national security have not been given serious attention. The article examined the effect of the 162,156 integrated refugee who fled their country of origin due to ethnic, economic, political, and religious conflicts. The study adopted a case study design mixing both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The data were collected through; a survey, in-depth interviews, direct observation, focus group discussion, and document review. It drew data from a sample of 397 involving both naturalised refugees (IRs) and native Tanzanians (NTs) who have been living in the study area and 31 key informants were purposely selected for qualitative data. Both naturalised refugees and Tanzania citizens who have been living in the study area were the source of data. The descriptive data was analysed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) software while content analysis was used for interview and FGDs data. The findings revealed that IRs are a threat to national security because those who fled due to ethnic conflicts are somewhat malintegrated as they have continued to organize along ethnic lines. Those who fled due to economic factors are more susceptible to criminality and those who fled due to political conflicts are a threat because they have divided loyalty. The paper concludes that ethnic malintegration, susceptibility to criminality and divided loyalty are key threats posed by IRs to national security. It recommends re-evaluating refugee integration, including long-term and sustainable strategies for mass naturalisation to promote resilience, refugee policy, security models, settlement plans, and civic education for both NTs and IRs.
Policy Brief: Establishing Clinical Ethics Committees (CECs) to address moral conflicts in Tanzania’s hospitals

Studies have shown that moral conflicts are an inseparable part of daily clinical practice (Beauchamp & Childress, 2019; Blanco Portillo et al., 2021; Kuhumba et al., 2024; Miljeteig et al., 2019; Rasoal et al., 2016). A moral conflict in healthcare can occur when decisions are made, in cases of uncertainty about what should be done, in case of a disagreement about decisions, or when there is a conflict between ethical principles and values. For example, moral conflicts related to questions such as the extent of decision-making authority a next of kin hold regarding a patient’s care. Several studies conducted in the Sub-Saharan context have identified numerous moral challenges in healthcare. These challenges include insufficient medical resources and the economic conditions of patients and their families. Additionally, difficulties arise in disclosing medical information and maintaining confidentiality. Cultural and religious perspectives significantly shape healthcare delivery, especially in areas like palliative care and end-of-life decision-making. Conflicts often occur between standard medical treatments and traditional medicine. Furthermore, there are prevalent issues concerning the withdrawal of treatment and the minimization of healthcare. Our research project has identified several of these moral challenges as noted in studies by (Aboud et al., 2018; Athanas et al., 2020; Defaye et al., 2015; Ewuoso et al., 202; Pancras et al., 2018; Sippel et al., 2015; Vedasto et al., 2021; Kuhumba et al., 2024).

Published: January 2025

The purpose of this research is to investigate the variables that influence the motivation of teachers who work instructing students with specific disabilities in a diverse classroom environment, where they deploy inclusive actions and practices to respond to the specific needs of these students. With this objective, information is collected from ten participating teachers through a semi-structured interview protocol to examine the patterns and tendencies that this group of teachers declares regarding the variables that affect the daily performance of their educational work. The study, of a qualitative nature, is based on Grounded Theory. The inductive process guides the procedure that answers the research question, concluding that two variables impact and reinforce teachers' work: variables that dynamize their motivation and have a de facto impact on their motivated behavior when educating students with disabilities. It is also concluded that, despite all the challenges that inclusive education teachers face, they are facing their work with an altruistic and self-motivated spirit since they do not have sufficient support and training.

Published: January 2025

Public spaces, such as parks, are essential for the life of riobambeños, since they offer areas for recreation, exercise and contact with nature. However, their proper use is affected by the lack of culture of some visitors who, accompanied by their pets, contaminate the environment with feces, damaging the image of the place and endangering the health of those who frequent it. This study proposes alternatives for the proper management of canine feces and seeks to raise awareness of the risks of transmission of parasitic diseases. Through a cross-sectional descriptive design, surveys and interviews with visitors to the Guayaquil park, it was found that there was evidence of poor management of excrement and lack of knowledge about its consequences

ABSTRACTThe objective of this study was to analyze the characteristics of the La Cocha Tourist Complex for the implementation of tourist signage, considering legal and technical aspects that contribute to the tourism development of Cotaló parish, in Pelileo canton. The research focused on evaluating the feasibility of a signage plan, as the lack of information about the area's flora and fauna limits its tourism potential and causes dissatisfaction among visitors. The methodological approach was non-experimental and cross-sectional, using inventory sheets of tourist attractions, technical sheets for the placement of signage, and interviews with local authorities. The results revealed the natural richness of the environment, highlighting the need to improve signage to optimize the visitor experience and extend their stay. The interviewed authorities agreed on the importance of signage to adequately inform visitors about the complex's attractions. Finally, a technical analysis was conducted to determine the types of signs to implement, and conclusions were drawn, emphasizing the positive impact that signage would have on visitor satisfaction and the tourism development of the area
