Published: March 2024

Pentingnya keterbukaan diri pada remaja adalah agar remaja dapat berkomunikasi dengan baik dan membinahubungan harmonis di lingkungannya. Tanpa melibatkanketerbukaan diri, maka seorang remaja dapat menerimarespon sosial yang kurang baik dan akan mempengaruhiperkembangan fungsinya identitas dirinya. Faktor besarsuksesnya keterbukaan diri pada remaja adalah keluarga, dimana komunikasi orang tua dengan anak menjadi hal yang sangat penting dalam membentuk keterbukaan diri pada remaja. Fenomena pembentukan diri remaja yang tertutuppada saat ini diketahui umumnya karena komunikasikeluarga yang terjalin kurang baik salah satunya adalahkomunikasi keluarga protektif, yang ditandai denganrendahnya komunikasi dalam orientasi konsep, tetapi tinggikomunikasinya dalam orientasi sosial. Penelitian inibertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh dari komunikasikeluarga protektif terhadap keterbukaan diri remaja akhir. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif deskriptifdengan populasi siswa SMAS Regina Pacis Kota Bogor yakni sebanyak 954 siswa. Teknik pengambilan sampel pada penelitian ini adalah simple random sampling dengan total sampel sebanyak 225 responden. Teknik analisis yang digunakan adalah regresi linear sederhana dengan pengujianhipotesis parsial. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah komunikasikeluarga protektif memiliki pengaruh yang negatif dan signifikan terhadap keterbukaan diri remaja akhir pada siswa/i SMAS Regina Pacis Kota Bogor.

Authors: V.I. Kaskiv  , O.V. Sokolov  , V.V. Mozghovyi
Published: March 2024

In Ukraine, about 30% of all electricity is generated from the combustion of solid fuels such as coal, oil shale, and peat. In our country, there are about 15 operating thermal power plants that generate about 5-6 million tons of ash and slag waste per year. Thus, the fuel and energy sector waste generated in the furnaces of thermal power plants is a huge accumulation of ash in the form of dusty residues and lumpy sludge, as well as various ash and slag mixtures. These products of high-temperature treatment (1200 °C - 1700 °C) of the mineral part of the fuel are widely used in many countries of the world, and given the global trend towards an increase in the share of the secondary market for waste, we should predict an increase in the rate of their processing in Ukraine.In Ukrainian practice, asphalt concrete is mainly used as a mineral powder obtained by grinding carbonate rocks in accordance with DSTU B V.2.7-119 and DSTU B V.2.7-121. At the same time, millions of tons of dusty waste - fly ash - are generated at Ukrainian power generating enterprises as a result of coal combustion. This material meets the requirements of DSTU B V.2.7-121 and can be used for the production of asphalt mixtures. However, it has not been sufficiently studied how fly ash affects the technological aging of bitumen.The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of fly ash aggregates on the technological aging of bitumen in the asphalt binder system in comparison with traditional mineral powders of various origins. It was found that fly ash is close to the performance of limestone aggregate and can be used as an asphalt filler in asphalt concrete.As a result of the laboratory studies and analysis of the results of the impact of technological aging on the asphalt binder, we can state that the aging index of asphalt binder with fly ash is intermediate between limestone mineral powder and granite dust and is close to that of asphalt binder with limestone mineral powder. This may indicate that the use of fly ash as a mineral powder in asphalt mixtures will not negatively affect their technological aging. Other studies of the physical and mechanical properties of asphalt concrete with fly ash performed by the authors allow us to conclude that fly ash, as a material, is suitable for use as an aggregate for asphalt concrete mixtures.

Published: March 2024

Gratitude represents a general state of appreciation and is considered the root of most religious traditions. Islam views gratitude as a way Muslims relate to their Creator by appreciating His assistance. Literature founds that many scales measuring gratitude were constructed without the integration of Shukr (i.e., Islamic concept of gratitude), or limit the constructed items on gratitude between human being and Allah alone, and some lacks it empirical psychometric evidence. a Due to this reason, we aim to construct a scale that follows a more comprehensive conceptualization of gratitude encompasses different domains of Muslim’s life. The current study discusses the processes of Islamic gratitude scale construction and its initial validation. The scale aims to measure Muslims’ level of gratitude (Shukr) conceptualized into three domains: Gratitude by Heart, Gratitude by Verbal, and Gratitude by Action. Thirty initial items were constructed, and ten subject matter experts (SMEs) were approached for their professional insights on the necessity of each item. Content Validity Ratio (CVR) was used to decide which item to retain in the scale. Based on the SMEs’ feedback, the number of items was reduced to 26.A test tryout was conducted on 183 participants for a preliminary analysis on the scale’s psychometric properties. Factorial analysis revealed a four-factor structure with internal consistency of .85. Further discussion on the scale’s usefulness, limitations, and future recommendations are also included.

The Covid-19 pandemic had a great impact on individuals of all walks of life in the aspect of psychosocial functioning particularly those from a B40 background as well as students. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a psycho socio-spiritual educational support group using the Bandura’s Theory of Self-Efficacy approach on the levels of internal and external self-confidence among 4th-year undergraduate IIUM students during the Covid-19 pandemic. It also aims to identify the issues of self-confidence from the participants during Covid-19. Seven 4th-year IIUM undergraduate students have been interviewed to identify the self-confidence issues and 22 participants (N=22) from the age of 22 to 24 years old were recruited via purposive sampling method to participate in the online peer support group. The present study used a mixed-method, exploratory approach with a quasi-experimental one-group pre-test-post-test design and a qualitative design. Two questionnaires have been utilized, the internal and external self-confidence scale by Kelsey Evelyn Perkins, and in-depth interviews employed five open-ended questions. The Likert scales consisted of 12-items that required participants to rate from 1“strongly disagree to 7 “strongly agree.” Data were analysed qualitatively by thematic analysis and quantitatively using Paired Sample T-test computed in the 26.0 version of Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) with a P-value <0.5 considered statistically significant. There was a statistically significant increase in Internal Self Confidence pre-test score (M=55.64, SD=9.459) to Post-test (M=69.55, SD=9.012), t(21)=5.670, p<0.05 (two-tailed). There was also an increment for External Self Confidence pre-test score, (M= 41.00, SD=10.156) and post-test (M=50.18, SD=13.800), t(21)=3.217, p<0.05 (two-tailed) after the implementation of the online peer support group among undergraduate students during the Covid-19 pandemic.  According to the current research, peer support might be a helpful tool to improve self-confidence among undergraduate students and broaden its function as a coping mechanism to improve the quality of life and well-being. The findings of this research will also shed light on the use of Bandura’s Theory of Self-Efficacy in the fostering of Internal and External Self-confidence.
SWOT Analysis on the Concept of Spirituality among Muslim Support Staff in a Faith-Based Higher Learning Institution in Malaysia
Authors: Hussin Ruhaya , Omoola Sodiq , Zulkifly Nurul Izzati Asyikin
Published: March 2024

Spirituality and religion are two different concepts that are closely related to one another. For its strategic planning, the organisation under study (a faith-based higher learning institution) needs to conduct a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis related to the concept of spirituality. Therefore, a hermeneutic research design was used to identify the institution’s Muslim support staff’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Purposive sampling was used to recruit eight participants who were Muslim full-time support staff currently working at the institution. Data were collected via a focus group discussion through the Google Meet platform. The findings revealed strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats at both theoretical and practical levels. Although all participants agreed that spirituality is an innate human nature expressed via good deeds, it is still difficult for them to differentiate between spirituality and religion. In terms of opportunities, spirituality becomes the institution’s branding as a faith-based organisation, and this organisation conducted many spiritual-based programmes and community service activities. However, the financial constraints, generational gap, and organisational change might threaten the practice of spirituality in the organisation. The findings serve as an essential basis and guideline for the organisation to develop interventions related to spirituality. Some limitations and recommendations for future research were also discussed.
Exploring Customer Review of Local Agriculture Product Acceptance in Malaysia: A Concept Paper on Sentiment Mining
Authors: Abdul Rahman Zaireen , A. Talip Bazilah , Sarirah Husna
Published: March 2024

Online consumer reviews in e-commerce are one technique to gather consumer opinion and sentiment about a company's products and services. However, manual analysis is impractical due to natural language text's enormous volume and complexity. Text mining and sentiment analysis methods based on machine learning provide an opportunity to analyze data for marketing objectives by increasing sales, positive electronic word-of-mouth (e-WOM), and meeting consumer demands and wants through the enhancement of market offerings. Despite the numerous benefits of analyzing e-commerce reviews to assist a company's marketing strategy, very little research has focused on sentiment and acceptance for Malaysia’s local agriculture products due to mixed language (English-Malay language) processing challenges. This concept paper highlights the use of text mining techniques to extract valuable insights from e-commerce comments related to Malaysian local agriculture products. By leveraging text mining, the study aims to better understand consumer sentiments, preferences, and feedback regarding local products, thereby facilitating improved market analysis and decision-making processes.
Peculiarities of demand for medicines and assessment of the consequences of introducing co-payment in Kazakhstan
Authors: Spankulova L.S. , Mukhamediyev B.M. , Bukatov Y.B.
Published: March 2024

Object: In the context of the population's growing need for medical care and limited resources of the healthcare system, the issue of assessing the population's demand for medical services, especially for medicines, in both developed and developing countries becomes relevant. The study aims to determine the characteristics of the population's demand for medicines in the Republic of Kazakhstan and assess the impact of co-payment mechanisms on medicine consumption.

Methods: To achieve this goal, we conducted a sociological survey of the population in all regions of Kazakhstan, with the participation of 1638 respondents. Questionnaire data were estimated using a logarithmic model.

Findings: As a result of evaluating the logarithmic model, we identified the main factors influencing the demand for medicines. An individual's poor health state increases the demand for and consumption of medicines. We observed decreased demand for medicines among those individuals who assessed their health status by non-medical factors. Individuals who used the services of private medical institutions increased their demand for medicines, unlike those individuals who used the services of specialized medical institutions. A large amount of time spent traveling to medical centers is also one of the factors in increasing drug consumption. Such factors as visits to emergency medical care, the presence of chronic diseases in family members, the gender and place of residence of the individual, and a large number of children in the family influence high demand.

Conclusions: The logarithmic model results show many factors influencing the demand for medicines; the introduction of co-payment further expands the variability of factors influencing the volume of medicine consumption by the population. Various co-payment mechanisms can both reduce consumption and encourage drug consumption.

Authors: Borzenko O. , Kuznietsova N. , Tkachuk I. , Hlazova А.
Published: March 2024

Object: Clusters are a relatively new form of organization, risk and profit sharing, and competitiveness enhance ment for both the global and Ukrainian economies. The potential of the cluster development model is significant, and, most importantly, it has been justified in developed countries worldwide. In particular, global practice confirms that the functioning of the most prosperous economies is supported by advantages in modern production technologies and man agement. Therefore, successful development of any level is possible through the comprehensive application of modern strategic management concepts. Thus, the object of the study is to reveal and substantiate the effectiveness of cluster model in establishing special economic zones in Ukraine.
Methods: The paper uses general scientific and special methods, that are: the dialectical method of understanding cluster model for establishing special economic zones; comparative analysis methods; methods of empirical research, methods of statistical and structural analysis; methods of historical and logical analysis; identifying individual parts of an object, methods of system approach, identifying cause-and-effect relationships.
Findings: Custers are established on the base of a unique internal environment and infrastructure specific to a par ticular region. This allows leveraging the competitive advantages of enterprises in a specific area through integration. A cluster serves as a stimulus for economic development, and regionalism forms the basis for its sustainable growth. Re gionalism is of great significance in selecting priority investment areas, as it can influence the level of uncertainty risk during the assessment of regional investment projects. Its effectiveness is confirmed by cluster development of the child nutrition project presented in the paper (Ivano-Frankivsk region, Ukraine).
Conclusions: Cluster approach makes it possible to use available resources more efficiently. The cluster approach is connected with the policy of capacity-building as well as increasing competition profitability of national economies. There are also some cluster formations on the territory of Ukraine. Сluster is a convenient form of organizing a free economic zone. At the same time, each government develops its own approaches to the creation of clusters and regula tion of their activities, accordingly, organizes the activities of those responsible for the implementation of the national strategy of sustainable competitive development.

Published: March 2024

This study presents a deep analysis of the idea of self-realization in the philosophy of work. The main focus is focused on the complex consideration of the relationship between individual aspirations for self-realization of employees and the limiting factors presented in the conditions of the modern working environment. Using a multidimensional approach, including theoretical and empirical methods, the authors study how structural, psychological andsocial aspects of work affect the process of individual self-realization. The empirical part of the study is based on data obtained from qualitative and quantitative surveys among various groups of employees. These data helped to highlight the internal experiences and attitudes of employees to their professional role, as well as to identify key factors that contribute to or hinder their self-realization. Case studies contribute to understanding the specific scenarios in which these dynamics manifest themselves by providing real-world examples of the problems faced by employees and strategies for solving them. The methods and recommendations developed on the basis of this analysis are aimed at optimizing the organizational environment for better adaptation to the individual needs of employees for self-realization. In general, the study identifies possible ways to harmonize individual and corporate interests.This work offers valuable insights for organizations seeking to create an environment that not only supports corporate goals, but also promotes the full self-realization of each team member in the context of modern work philosophy.

It has been shown experimentally that when a drop is deposited at the center of a substrate with an axial temperature gradient (hotter in the center), thermocapillarity effects makes an outward flow to appear so that the drop evolves towards a ring whose radius increases with time. Upon reaching a critical radius, the contact line becomes unstable, showing gentle undulations whose amplitudes grow with time. Using the lubrication approximation and adopting appropriate dimensionless variables, a parameter-free differential equation is obtained that governs this type of thermocapillary flow. Numerical solutions of this equation are presented to study the unstable stage. Experimental results are compared with those obtained from the numerical solutions.

Bu araştırmada, sosyal bilgiler öğretmen adaylarının enflasyon kavramına yönelik algılarının tespit edilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Araştırmanın amacına uygun olarak çalışmada, nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden fenomenoloji deseni kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubu, kolay ulaşılabilir örnekleme yöntemi ile belirlenmiştir. Çalışma grubunu 2022-2023 eğitim öğretim yılı bahar döneminde Türkiye’de bir devlet üniversitesinde öğrenim gören 121 sosyal bilgiler öğretmen adayı oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın verileri, ilk bölümü demografik bilgiler ve ikinci bölümü “Enflasyon, …………. gibidir; çünkü…………” ifadesinden oluşan bir form aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler içerik analizi ile değerlenmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, enflasyon kavramına yönelik 5 farklı kategoride toplam 95 adet geçerli metafor üretilmiştir. Öğretmen adayları metaforları oluştururken genellikle nesne, coğrafi unsurlar, doğal afetler ve sağlıkla ilgili terimlerden yararlanmıştır. Oluşturulan metaforlardan en fazla dolar, balon, asansör, tansiyon, tahterevalli metaforları tekrar etmekedir. Elde edilen sonuçlardan hareketle, öğretmen adaylarının enflasyon kavramına ilişkin metaforları çeşitlilik gösterdiği, enflasyon kavramının toplum üzerindeki etkilerini dikkate alarak metafor ürettikleri söylenebilir. Bu bağlamda öğretmen adaylarının enflasyon kavramına ilişkin algılarının olumsuz olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Bu çalışma Türkiye’deki akademisyenlerin COVID-19’a yönelik üretilen aşılar hakkındaki tutumlarını incelemektedir. Çalışma kapsamında ülkelerin uluslararası piyasadaki imajlarının, akademisyenlerin o ülkelerde üretilen aşılara yönelik “güven” ya da “güvensizlik” algılarını büyük oranda belirlediği görülmektedir. Bu kapsamda görüşme yapılan akademisyenlerin tamamı, Çin malının Türkiye’deki “ucuz ve kalitesiz” olduğu algısına binaen Coronavac aşısını güvensiz buldukları, buna karşın Alman malını “sağlam ve dayanıklı” bularak BioNTech aşısının daha güvenilir olduğunu düşünmektedirler. Bununla beraber Çin’in yönetim yapısı, bilgi akışının güvenilir olmadığına yönelik düşünceler ve Uygur Türklerine yönelik politikası Coronavac aşısına yönelik güveni zedelerken, göç üzerinden Almanya ile kurulan tarihsel ve kültürel ilişkilerin ve Almanların bilimde daha iyi olduğu düşüncesi Almanya’da üretilen BioNTech aşısının daha güvenli olduğu algısını doğurmaktadır. Diğer taraftan yerli aşının sürece dâhil edilmesiyle tercihlerin radikal bir şekilde yerli aşıya kaydığı görülmektedir. Çalışma kapsamında Bitlis Eren Üniversitesi’nde görev yapan toplamda 25 akademisyen ile derinlemesine görüşmeler yapılarak, kişilerin aşılara yönelik tutumlarının derin bilgisine ulaşılmış ve veriler sosyolojik bir zeminde tartışılmıştır.

Bu çalışma baba katılımının potansiyel sosyodemografik öncüllerinin toplumsal cinsiyet perspektifinden yorumlanması amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. 5-6 yaş grubunda çocuğu olan babalardan (n= 377) anket yoluyla, aile ve çalışma durumu değişkenleri, baba katılımı (ve alt boyutlarının) düzeyleri ve toplumsal cinsiyete yönelik tutumları hakkında bilgi alınmıştır. Analizler bağımsız t testi ve ANOVA ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bulgulara göre, babaların ilgi ve yakınlık puanlarının çocuğun cinsiyetinden etkilenebildiği, çocuk doğum sırası arttığında keyfi meşguliyet boyutu puanının düşebildiği, çocuğun cinsiyetine dair beklentisi olmayan babaların ilgi ve yakınlık puanlarının yüksek olduğu, babaların eğitim düzeyinin yükselmesi ile eşitlikçi tutumun ve baba katılım düzeyinin ayrı ayrı ilişkili olabileceği görülmüştür. Bunun yanında, çalışma durumunun baba katılım boyutlarından bazılarını etkileyebileceği, ancak kazanç düzeyinin etkilemediği bulunmuştur. Eşitlikçilik puanları yüksek olan babaların daha eğitimli ve daha çok kazanan kadınlarla evli olduğu; daha çok kazanan eşlerle evli olan babaların farklı boyutlarda daha katılımcı olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Bulgular yorumlandığında, baba katılımının çocuk cinsiyeti ve sayısı ile ilişkili olabileceği, anne-baba çalışma durumlarından etkilendiği; anneye dair değişkenlerin birçok alt boyutta baba katılımını etkiliyor olabileceği söylenebilmektedir. Bu değişkenler babaların toplumsal cinsiyete dair tutumu ile karşılaştırıldığında, eşitlikçi babaların daha az çocuk yaptığı, farklı alanlarda daha çok katılım gösterdiği ve daha yüksek eğitimli kadınlarla evli olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Son olarak, babaların evlenecekleri kişiye yönelik tercihlerinin, temelde babaların cinsiyet eşitliğine yönelik tutumlarıyla ilgili olabileceği, annelerin çalışma hayatlarının babaları katılıma yönlendiriyor olabileceği tartışılmıştır. Üretilen bir diğer varsayım ise, daha eşitlikçi yaklaşıma sahip olup daha çok katılım gösterebilecek erkeklerin, kadınlar tarafından seçilebiliyor olduğuna yöneliktir.
Hitit Çiviyazılı Belgelere Göre (É)/(GIŠ)šinapši- Üzerine Bazı Gözlemler

M.Ö. 2.binyılda Anadolu’da hüküm sürmüş Hititlerin geride bıraktıkları Hititçe çiviyazılı metinlerde çeşitli mimari yapıların adlarıyla karşılaşmaktayız. Bu yapıların arasında ise (É)/(GIŠ)šinapši- yer almaktadır. Hurrice “šin”- kökünden türetilen (É)/(GIŠ)šinapši-, ilerleyen dönemlerde Hurri ve Babil topraklarında kutsal bir mekân olarak sayılmıştır. (É)/(GIŠ)šinapši- yapısında genellikle günahlardan arınmak, adak adamak gibi ritüeller gerçekleştirilmektedir. Bununla birlikte Hititçe kaynaklarda bir yer adı olarak Šinapši Dağı da geçmektdir. Adı geçen dağın lokalizasyonu hakkında kesin bir bilgi olmasa da Šinapši Dağı’nın Kizzuwatna bölgesinde yer aldığı ve Amanos Dağları ile eşitlenebileceği fikri öne sürülmüştür. Kral ve kraliçelerin önem verdiği (É)/(GIŠ)šinapši- yapılarının kendi tanrıları bulunmakta ve bu tanrıların öfkelenmemeleri için çeşitli ritüeller gerçekleştirilmektedir. Kimi zaman yeraltı dünyasına da ait olduğu düşünülen (É)/(GIŠ)šinapši-’lerin genel anlamda kötülüğü uzaklaştırmaya hizmet eden mekanlar olduğunu söyleyebiliriz.
Dijital Bankacılık ile Bankacılık Sektörü Çalışan Sayısı Arasındaki İlişkisi
Authors: Kapkara Kaya Sevcan
Published: March 2024

Bu çalışmanın amacı, dijital bankacılık araçları ile bankacılık sektörü çalışan sayısı arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmaktır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda çalışmada 2006q1-2022q4 dönemine ait veriler kullanılmıştır. Bu veriler korelasyon analizi ve Vektör Otoregresyon Modeli (VAR) yöntemleri kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen korelasyon analizi sonucuna göre, dijital bankacılık (DIG) ve bankamatik (ATM) sayıları arttıkça çalışan sayısının (PN) da artması beklenmektedir. VAR analizi üzerinden elde edilen etki-tepki fonksiyonu sonuçlarına göre PN’de meydana gelen bir standart sapmalık şoka karşılık değişkenin kendisi pozitif ancak azalarak 12. dönemde sönümlenen bir tepki vermektedir. DIG ve ATM değişkenlerinde meydana gelen bir standart sapmalık şoka karşılık da PN değişkeninin pozitif tepkiler verdiği ancak 5. dönemde DIG kaynaklı şokların, 6. dönemde ise ATM kaynaklı şokların etkisinin kaybolduğu görülmektedir. Varyans ayrıştırması sonuçlarına göre ise çalışan sayısı değişkeninin varyansındaki değişimin yaklaşık %89.5’u kendisindeki, %2’si dijital bankacılık değişkenindeki ve %8.3’ü ise bankamatik değişkenindeki değişimlerden kaynaklanmaktadır. Elde edilen bu sonuçlara göre bankacılık sektöründeki dijitalleşmenin çalışan sayısını arttırması beklenmektedir.
