Authors: Kubiak Michał
Published: May 2024

W artykule dokonano analizy polityki senioralnej w Gdańsku. Scharakteryzowano inicjatywy oraz cykliczne programy adresowane do seniorów, a także zidentyfikowano najważniejsze wyzwania na przyszłość z dwóch perspektyw. Pierwsza z nich to perspektywa z punktu widzenia polityki miasta (na podstawie analizy programów i inicjatyw miejskich oraz działań Pełnomocnika Prezydenta Miasta Gdańska ds. Seniorów), druga to optyka funkcjonującej od 2018 r. Rady Seniorów w Gdańsku. Priorytetami są aktywizacja i angażowanie seniorów do udziału w różnych inicjatywach, ponadto na znaczeniu nabiera kwestia zapotrzebowania na pomoc i opiekę dotycząca potrzebujących osób starszych.

Authors: Kuźniar Wiesława , Szopiński Wiesław
Published: May 2024

W artykule przedstawiono możliwości współuczestniczenia mieszkańców reprezentujących pokolenie Z w procesie kreowania i promowania marki miasta na przykładzie Rzeszowa. Autorzy założyli tezę, że młodzi mieszkańcy będący przedstawicielami pokolenia Z stanowią wiodącą grupę interesariuszy miasta, która przyczynia się do promowania jego walorów i kreowania marki miasta. Na tle rozważań teoretycznych odnoszących się do procesu brandingu miasta zaprezentowano wyniki badania ankietowego przeprowadzonego w 2023 r. wśród młodych mieszkańców Rzeszowa. Pozwoliły one określić stopień identyfikacji młodych mieszkańców z miastem oraz obszary ich aktywności w zakresie budowania marki miasta. Badanie wykazało, że młodzi ludzie nie do końca identyfikują się ze swoim miastem i często brak im przekonania co do możliwości oddziaływania na jego rozwój. Celowe wydaje si ę zatem zintensyfikowanie działań wizerunkowych mających pozycjonować Rzeszów jako idealne miasto dla młodych ludzi.
Odporność polskiej świadomości społecznej na rosyjską propagandę rozpowszechnianą przez internet w pierwszych miesiącach konfliktu zbrojnego Rosja-Ukraina
Authors: Bryczek-Wróbel Patrycja , Moszczyński Maciej , Załoga Wiesława
Published: May 2024

W artykule opisano temat oddziaływania na świadomość społeczną w początkowej fazie konfliktu zbrojnego. Jako studium przypadku wykorzystano działania towarzyszące konfliktowi zbrojnemu między Federacją Rosyjską a Ukrainą, a obserwowaną populację stanowili internauci w Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej. Aby zbadać wpływ rosyjskiej dezinformacji na kształtowanie świadomości społecznej Polaków, wykorzystano dane z narzędzia Google Trends. Natomiast słowa kluczowe do analizy zostały predefiniowane ze wsparciem sztucznej inteligencji zaszytej w algorytmach Chat GPT-4. Efektem analizy jest wykazanie wysokiej odporności świadomości społecznej Polaków na próbę zmian jej pozytywnej postawy dla pomocy humanitarnej i wojskowej dla walczącej Ukrainy w pierwszych dniach rosyjskiej inwazji w lutym 2022 r.
Rola władzy ustawodawczej i sądowniczej Unii Europejskiej w kształtowaniu polityki praw podstawowych. Studium na przykładzie polityki równości płci
Authors: Burgoński Piotr
Published: May 2024

Niniejszy artykuł ma na celu określenie, jaką rolę w procesie kształtowania polityki równościowej UE odgrywa władza ustawodawcza (Komisja, Rada, Parlament Europejski) oraz władza sądownicza (Trybunał Srawiedliwości) UE, a także ustalenie, jakie czynniki kierują zachowaniami tych aktorów politycznych. Badanie przeprowadzono na przykładzie procesu formułowania polityki równości płci UE w latach 1975-2022 w oparciu o akty ustawodawcze i orzecznictwo sądowe UE. Jako podejście teoretyczno-metodologiczne przyjęto instytucjonalizm racjonalnego wyboru, historyczny i socjologiczny, a ponadto wykorzystano metodę śledzenia procesu. Badanie wykazało, że każda z władz UE posiada swoją specyficzną funkcję w procesie kształtowania polityki równości płci. Główną rolę w procesie kształtowania polityki równościowej odgrywa legislatywa. Trybunał Sprawiedliwości UE zasadniczo podąża za kierunkiem wyznaczonym przez władzę ustawodawczą, niekiedy go ogranicza czy powstrzymuje. Duże znaczenie posiadają również interakcje pomiędzy wspomnianymi władzami. Zachowania władzy ustawodawczej i sądowniczej można wyjaśnić przy pomocy czynników o charakterze racjonalnym, instytucjonalnym oraz ideacyjnym.

Authors: Chorób Roman
Published: May 2024

Celem niniejszego opracowania była próba oceny wpływu ośrodka miejskiego na stan i rozwój procesów integracyjnych rolnictwa z przemysłem spożywczym. Podjętą problematykę poparto wynikami badań, przeprowadzonymi w 2022 roku wśród 450 losowo wybranych producentów rolnych oraz przedstawicieli 126 firm przetwórczych prowadzących działalność w województwie podkarpackim. Wpływ ośrodka miejskiego ukazano m.in. za pomocą lokalnego oddziaływania istniejących zakładów przetwórczych, które stanowią cenne ogniwo w pionowych powiązaniach integracyjnych. Ukazano również znaczenie poziomych form powiązań zachodzących pomiędzy rolnikami, które w pewnych uwarunkowaniach sprzyjają rozwojowi pionowych związków integracyjnych. Wnioski były pomocne w weryfikacji postawionej tezy, iż ośrodki miejskie pełnią istotną rolę poprzez oddziaływanie na procesy integracyjne zachodzące w agrobiznesie.
Evidence for a possible range expansion of White-fronted Bee-eater Merops bullockoides into the Western and Eastern Cape Provinces, South Africa
Authors: Edwards Brandon P.M. , Binley Allison D.
Published: May 2024

Many bird species are undergoing rapid range shifts in response to habitat change, climate change, and anthropogenic factors. Although ranges shift, these shifts may not be accurately reflected in static range maps, particularly if range maps are not updated regularly. We observed a White-fronted Bee-eater (Merops bullockoides) while birding in the Western Cape province of South Africa, an area not currently covered by this species’ known range. However, after investigating some other recent reports on the popular citizen science platform eBird, and comparing to changes in occurrence of this species from the Southern Africa Bird Atlas Projects, we suspect that this species is undergoing a range shift into the Western and Eastern Cape Provinces of South Africa. We illustrate this potential range shift with evidence from these citizen science platforms as well as from the literature. We conclude with a recommendation for conservation managers to adapt dynamic range maps for use in conservation decisions.

Gospel plausibility and Community Organising
Authors: Carswell John
Published: May 2024

How does Christianity make sense to those on the margins of the church and to those within? How can those of us who proclaim the Gospel week by week explicate it in such a way that it is not only comprehensible, but plausible to the inquirer? This article introduces Community Organising (CO) as but one way forward for a church that is now suffering an existential crisis in a culture that has become largely indifferent to its claims. It will argue that the gospel becomes more plausible when encountered within the context of community engagement. It does so by laying out a description of CO, providing a theological rationale, and sharing the results of interviews conducted with those practising CO in their communities.

Published: May 2024

Abstract: Aim Monitoring altered environments is crucial to understand the impacts and the possible changes in the local fish fauna. Therefore, we aimed to compare the ichthyofauna within a 67-year-old small run-of-the-river reservoir with surveys carried out in 1986 and 2019-2021 and update the checklist of this reservoir. Methods We used the data provided by Alves et al. (1998) and sampled fish in two sites inside Itutinga reservoir using gill nets, seine nets and hand nets and at the one tributary of the area using only hand nets. Results We collected a total of 12,978 individuals belonging to 37 fish species, and the species accumulation curve showed a tendency to the asymptote. Five of the sampled species are non-native and five are migratory. Alves et al. (1998) sampled a total of 25 fish species, 17 genera, 9 families and 3 orders. We added 12 fish species to the checklist that were not recorded by Alves et al. (1998), including four non-native and two migratory. On the other hand, two migratory species and one rheophilic were registered only in the preview study. In addition, we observed important changes in the species abundance rank. Conclusions The differences in the fish assemblage structure comparing both studies indicate important changes in fish assemblages over more than 33 years. Our results highlighted the importance of long-term fish monitoring in altered environments to assess temporal variation in fish assemblages and their responses to the multiple possibilities of external stressors, such as the shift in abundance of non-native species in these environments.
Muito além da abordagem sociológica ao estudo do Bolsonarismo
Authors: Feres Junior João , Paula Carolina Almeida de
Published: May 2024

A partir de uma revisão sistemática da literatura sobre o bolsonarismo no Brasil, o artigo foca nos trabalhos de abordagem sociológica que concebem o objeto como produto de uma nova subjetividade conservador, como uma coleção de identidades sociais ou como um movimento social. A partir de uma pesquisa qualitativa nacional conduzida pelos autores e destinada a explorar as percepções e comportamentos relacionados de bolsonaristas renitentes e arrependidos, o artigo revela vários aspectos relevantes que condicionam a preferência por Bolsonaro, como as posições de seus eleitores em relação a temas como corrupção, segurança pública, família, gênero e valores tradicionais. A pesquisa nacional também explora as preferências políticas dos participantes assim como seus hábitos de consumo de informação. O artigo argumenta, contudo, que é necessário ir além da constatação das adesões substantivas dos bolsonaristas a posições e valores, e olhar para a maneira como eles obtém informação. A hipótese principal é que o nexo maior do bolsonarismo é sua esfera comunicacional, que permite a seus aderentes fácil acesso a versões alternativas de fatos e narrativas. O artigo conclui refletindo sobre as limitações das teses sociológicas para o entendimento do bolsonarismo e apontando para deficiências metodológicas dos trabalhos qualitativos desse campo.
Features of the elemental status of the system «mother – placenta – umbilical blood – newborn» in combat conditions
Authors: Vasendina M. V.
Published: May 2024

The assessment of the microelement status of newborns is the basis for determining the effect on the child's health of deficiency, excess or violation of the tissue distribution of macro- and microelements. Of particular interest is the participation of the fetus in trace element metabolism during gestation in the “mother – placenta – fetus” system. The purpose of our study was to establish the features of the elemental status of the “mother – placenta – umbilical cord blood – newborn” system in the conditions of military operations. All the subjects were divided into two groups: the main group included newborns whose prenatal development took place in conditions of active hostilities, the second group included newborns whose prenatal development took place in the absence of hostilities. Materials and methods. 126 full-term newborn babies were examined. All the surveyed were divided into two groups. The main group included 72 (57.14 %) newborns whose prenatal development took place in the conditions of active hostilities, the second 53 (42.40 %) newborns whose prenatal development took place in the absence of hostilities. The study of the content of essential trace elements in the hair and umbilical cord blood of newborn children, as well as their mothers. Results and their discussions. The study revealed that the levels of micro- and macronutrients in newborns from the two groups are significantly different. Based on the analysis of the content of essential trace elements in the hair of newborns and their mothers, whose pregnancy took place in conditions of active hostilities, it was concluded that the levels of iron, copper, selenium, magnesium and potassium in children of the main group are reduced, and the content of toxic elements such as cadmium, chromium and lead, on the contrary, is increased. Thus, it is advisable to introduce measures to assess elemental metabolism in various groups of the child population and timely use of macro- and microelement preparations to correct the imbalance.
Role of caspase-6 in the formation of severe chronic heart failure in patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus
Authors: Goryacheva O. G.
Published: May 2024

Caspases are a group of cysteine proteases that play a leading role in the processes of apoptosis. There is evidence that apoptosis of cardiomyocytes is the morphological basis for the formation of chronic heart failure (CHF). The aim of the study was to study the role of caspase-6 in the blood serum of patients with severe CHF infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In 2019–2022, on the basis of a large hospital, a one-stage screening clinical study was performed with the inclusion of 240 patients infected with HIV, 160 of them (66.6 %) were diagnosed with CHF. Inclusion criteria for the study were the presence of confirmed CHF, the presence of HIV infection, stabilization of the condition due to the disease that required hospitalization, and the patient's consent to participate in the study. The criteria for exclusion from the study were social deprivation and refusal to sign informed voluntary consent, acute decompensation of CHF, acute heart failure, and oncology. The criterion for severe CHF was an increase in the level of NT-proBNP in blood plasma ≥ 1500 pg/ml. According to the results of the study, a direct close relationship was revealed between the formation of severe CHF and the content of caspase-6 in the blood serum, which may indicate an intensification of the processes of cardiomyocyte apoptosis. When the content of caspase-6 is equal to 148.35 pg/ml and above, there is a high risk of developing severe CHF with NT-pro BNP ≥ 1500 pg/ml, the chances of developing the following complications increase – CHF with low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 40 % – 11.77 times, left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) – 1.31 times, cachexia with a body mass index (BMI) < 18 – 18.91 times, valvular heart disease – 2.32 times, arterial hypotension - 5.96 times. In patients with CHF and HIV infection, the patterns obtained allow us to state the role of the effector enzyme apoptosis-caspase-6 as a prognostic factor for the development of such complications as LVEF < 40 %, cachexia, arterial hypotension, valvular heart disease and LVH.

Purpose of the article it consists of studying the incidence of allergic diseases in children with constitutional exogenous obesity living in the Astrakhan region. Materials and methods. During the study, allergy history data was copied from 167 children: 134 patients with constitutional exogenous obesity (median age 13 [3.9; 17] years) and 33 patients from the control group (median 14 [1.5; 17] years) from “Child Development Stories” (f.112/u) and “Dispensary Observation Control Cards” (f.030/u). Results. Using these methods, significant differences were identified (χ 2 = 8.151; p = 0.005); When comparing a group of children with constitutional exogenous obesity and a control group, it was revealed that in obese children, food allergies are registered more than three times more often (67.4 %) than in children without obesity (23.0 %). Conclusion. Our study showed that obese children are more likely to develop multivalent (food and / or drug) allergies, which are registered three times more often than in children with normal body weight.

Changes in body composition, in particular sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity, are complications of liver cirrhosis affected by unfavorable parent substances. The selection of diet and exercise for at least 8 weeks allows you to get the best results when taken by patients with cirrhosis of the liver. The correlate of motor activity in the bioimpedance analysis of the active fraction of the active cell mass in the lean mass of the human body. Aim of the study. To assess the relationship between increased cell mass and the severity of ascites and hepatic encephalopathy in liver cirrhosis. Material and methods. 46 patients with liver cirrhosis were examined. The component composition of the body is felt with the help of ABC-01 "Medass" devices (STC Medass, Russia). Ascites was assessed during the clinical examination, as well as the results of the examination of the abdominal cavity and retroperitoneal space. Diagnosis of hepatic encephalopathy impact test on the speed of cognitive reaction: "Number connection test". Results. A significant relationship was found between the proportion of active cell mass and the severity of ascites (r = –0.312, p-value = 0.034), indicating that a decrease in active cell mass is a prognostically unfavorable disease for the progression of ascites in patients with liver cirrhosis. Correlation analysis showed the presence of a negative correlation average strength between the values of the share of AKM in TMT and high body weight of PE: r = –0.229 (p value = 0.125), which requires research on studies between the values of the relationship between active cell mass and body weight. hepatic encephalopathy. Conclusion. Sensitive relationships have been found between active cell mass and the severity of liver cirrhosis. Determination of body composition products, in particular the absolute and relative indicators of active cell mass, in patients with liver cirrhosis can be of practical use in compiling promising mathematical models of prognosis.

The relationship between ankle landing kinematics, isokinetic strength, muscle activity, and the prevalence of lower extremity injuries in university-level netball players during a single season
Authors: Jolingana-Seoka Thembisile , Hammill Henriëtte , Willemse Yolandi , Kramer Mark
Published: May 2024

Background: Safe landing in netball is fundamental. Research on the biomechanics of multidirectional landings is lacking, especially among netball players. Furthermore, few studies reporting the associations between ankle kinematics, isokinetic ankle muscle strength, muscle activities, and injury prevalence in South African netball have been undertaken.
Objectives: To determine the relationships between ankle kinematics, kinetics, isokinetic strength, and muscle activity during jump-landing tasks, as well as the prevalence of lower extremity injuries in university-level netball players during a single season.
Methods: This cross-sectional repeated-measure study consisted of ten university-level female netball players. The injury prevalence data was collected during the 2022 netball season. The ankle muscle activity, kinematic, and kinetic data were collected during multidirectional single-leg landing and muscle strength was collected from plantar- and dorsiflexion trials.
Results: Netball players' ankle strength was generally below average. There was evidence of negative correlations between the ankle range of motion (ROM), isokinetic strength, and muscle activity amplitudes. A lack of evidence prevented the conclusion that lower extremity dominance predisposed players to injury, and that any specific body part was more likely to be injured among netball players.
Conclusion: Landing forces and muscle activity are direction-dependent, especially for the dominant limb. Lower extremity strength and neuromuscular control (NMC) across multiple jump-landing directions should be an area of focus for female netball players.

The aim of the study is to reveal the importance of the realisation of the right of the child to participate in children’s day care centres based on the experience of social pedagogues and social workers. Qualitative research was chosen for the study by using the method of semi-structured interview. 11 employees, who work in children’s day care centres in different Lithuanian regions, participated in the study.
The study revealed the importance of the implementation of the right of the child to participate to the child, employees, the quality of provided socio-educational services and the continuity of the implementation of this right when cooperating with the family of the child successfully. The importance to the child should be associated with the strengthening of his/her dignity, self-esteem, self-confidence, the ensuring of his better well-being and emotional security; the self-realisation of the child, his/her problem solving, communication, cooperation, activity planning and organizational skills improve, the child develops responsibility and autonomy when taking and realising decisions. The importance to employees should be associated with the better knowledge of the child and understanding of his/her situation, satisfaction of his/her needs, the formation of the relationship with the child based on cooperation. The importance to the quality of provided services should be associated with activities, which meet the needs of the child, the guarantee of a favourable socio-educational environment in children’s day care centres, the opportunity for the child to influence the planning and organization of activities in children’s day care centres. The cooperation with the family of the child guarantees the continuity of the implementation of the right of the child to participate, because parents understand the importance of this right to the well-being of the child and create possibilities for its implementation.

Authors: Kvelde Anna , Odina Indra
Published: May 2024

The article deals with the implemented initiatives of education for sustainable development in educational institutions and the evidence of institutional social responsibility in them. The data were collected by the content analysis of 15 homepages of institutions implementing education for sustainable development, questionnaire to 151 students aged 14-19 years and 24 interviews with 12 principals and 12 teachers on the state of the art of sustainability issues in their organisations. The sample of 12 educational institutions, principal and teacher represented the same educational institution: 4 primary schools, 4 secondary schools and 4 state gymnasiums with a wide geographical representation – capital, urban, small town and rural schools, as well as 7 online correspondences with the representatives of organisations implementing education for sustainable development initiatives in Latvia. The data show that sustainable development initiatives are not systematically implemented and monitored in educational institutions in Latvia. There is no co-financing at national level to provide targeted methodological support for teachers in implementing practice-based education for sustainable development, instead schools attract funding from Erasmus+ or other projects. There is also a lack of a common understanding of sustainability culture among the members of the education management team, as well as no studies have been carried out on institutional social responsibility in educational institutions and regarding the implementation of education for sustainable development in curricula.

Published: May 2024

The article highlights the importance of the skills of artistic and pedagogical analysis of musical works for the success of piano training of music teachers. The purpose of the article is to analyze the process of modeling the skills of artistic and pedagogical analysis of musical works of future music teachers. The research used a set of methods: theoretical (analysis of scientific literature, theoretical modeling, comparison, generalization), empirical (observation, questionnaires, testing), methods of processing experimental data for the purpose of quantitative and qualitative analysis of diagnostic results. The content of the concepts: «skill», «skill of artistic-pedagogical analysis of musical works» is clarified, the purpose, task, essence, features and functions of artistic-pedagogical analysis are defined. A model of the formation of the skills of artistic and pedagogical analysis of musical works in the process of piano training has been developed, pedagogical conditions, principles and stages (cognitive-informational, value-orientational, independent-creative) of its implementation have been substantiated. The results of the empirical study showed that in the process of piano training of music teachers, the artistic and pedagogical analysis is not sufficiently updated. At individual lessons in the piano class, only its individual elements are used: biographical information, stylistic features and analogies, analysis of means of expression. Innovative technologies and methods (motivational, cognitive, interactive) of forming skills of artistic and pedagogical analysis are proposed. It has been proven that artistic and pedagogical analysis is a powerful and effective means of developing social skills (soft skills), as it allows students to be involved in various types of musical activities: artistic-cognitive, artistic-analytical, artistic-performing. The conducted research confirmed the relevance of artistic and pedagogical analysis in the process of piano training of music teachers.

The present-day globalised world is becoming more dynamic and soft skills become one of the main factors that enable people to participate actively in all aspects of life in it. Moreover, to succeed in personal and professional lives present-day students should be prepared to meet unpredicted challenges that are hard to imagine today. Taking into account the fact that the lists of soft skills are constantly changing and soft skills classifications provided by present-day researchers and practitioners vary greatly, the present research is aimed at finding out students’ perspectives on the importance of soft skills identified by World Economic Forum 2023, on the one hand, and the role of English as a university discipline in soft skills development, on the other hand. To achieve the aim of the study, the researchers developed a questionnaire which included a combination of close-ended and open-ended questions and items on a 5-Likert scale (1 – very unimportant, 2 – unimportant, 3 – neutral, 4 – important, 5 – very important). Data collection lasted for four months and took place in September-December 2023 among students of Kyiv National University of Technologies and Design. To select the research sample, the researchers used a convenience sampling technique. The questionnaires were distributed by hand from researchers to first- and second-year students who studied English as a Second Language. The mixed design of research included qualitative and quantitative processing of the data obtained and the data analysis comprised manual calculations.

Published: May 2024

Given the potential territorial isolation, lack of necessary contacts, and social agencies, the current situation of a state of war highlights the problem of optimizing the provision of social services to vulnerable population groups in rural communities. The aim of this article is to identify and characterize the features of providing social services in a rural community, determining the factors and environmental aspects that influence the content, forms, and methods of providing social services in a rural community. The authors analyze and summarize approaches to defining the concept of "community" and grouping communities based on various characteristics of the social environment. The study identifies problems in rural society that may affect the process, types, and forms of providing social services (relatively high level of societal social control over individuals; limitations in the social integration opportunities of individuals into the social environment; limitations of social status and role positions in the socialization process; high probability of social exclusion; specific division of labor; limited social contacts; a small number of social institutions influencing the socialization process). Throughout the research, the authors emphasize the need to focus social work in rural areas on supporting youth, young families, and youth initiatives. They outline types of social services to emphasize in rural communities, aimed at social prevention, social support, and social services. The study identifies factors influencing the process of providing social services in a rural community (seasonal, socio-historical, socio-pedagogical, socio-cultural, educational, socio-domestic, socio-demographic, socio-ethnic, socio-religious). The authors see promising research directions in determining the satisfaction with the provision of social services in a rural community and identifying conditions for the effectiveness of providing social services in a rural community.

Motivating students to read more is becoming increasingly important nowadays. The ability to understand the meaning of a text, to analyse, critically evaluate and verify the information and facts, as well as formulate one's own opinion - this is a skill that is vital for modern people living in the 21st century - the century of fake news. The latest PISA 2022 study shows that average reading performance in Latvia has fallen in comparison to 2018 results. The average reading achievement of pupils of Latvia has been falling every year since 2012. The challenge for schools is to use their internal resources to stimulate pupils' interest in reading in order to break this trend. One of the school's internal resources is a library. The school library has an important role to play in motivating pupils to read and to learn. It is an environment that encourages and supports reading and self-directed learning. The aim of this publication is to describe possibilities of raising reading interest and self-directed learning opportunities in school library.

Published: May 2024

Örgütlerde ücretlendirme, çalışanlar açısından sadece bir motivasyon kaynağı değil aynı zamanda örgütsel tutum ve davranışları etkileyen önemli bir araçtır. Bununla birlikte örgütün amaç ve hedeflerine ulaşmada etkili bir araç olan insan kaynaklarının da önemli bir fonksiyonudur. Bu bağlamda çalışma, ücretlendirme tipinin kafe, restoran ve bar gibi işletmelerde çalışanlar arasında kariyer bağlılığı ve dağıtım adaleti açısından farklılık oluşturup oluşturmadığını incelemeyi amaçlamıştır. Araştırma, insan kaynaklarında bu alanda var olan bir eksikliği gidermeyi hedeflemiştir. Alanya ilçe merkezinde faaliyette bulunan kafe, restoran ve barlarda çalışan 314 katılımcıdan oluşan örneklem grubundan elde edilen veriler, SPPS ve AMOS programları yardımıyla analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmanın sonuçları, ücretlendirme tipinin çalışanlar arasında kariyer bağlılığı ve dağıtım adaleti açısından farklılık oluşturduğunu göstermektedir. Çalışanlar arasında özellikle yüzdeye dayalı ücretlendirme yöntemi, kariyer bağlılığı ve dağıtım adaleti açısından önemli farklılığı ortaya koymaktadır. Bu bulgular, insan kaynakları uygulamalarından biri olan ücretlendirme tipinin adil bir şekilde uygulanmasına rehber niteliğinde olup, örgütsel davranış açısından örgütlerde ücretlendirme tipinin önemini ortaya koymaktadır.

Bu araştırmada; ortaokullarda 2021-2022 eğitim öğretim yılında kullanılan matematik ders kitaplarında yer alan etkinlikler matematiksel ilişkilendirme bağlamında incelenmiştir. Araştırmanın veri kaynaklarını her bir sınıf düzeyinden iki ders kitabı olmak üzere; biri MEB diğeri özel bir yayınevi tarafından hazırlanan sekiz matematik ders kitabı oluşturmaktadır. Ders kitabında yer alan etkinlikler, doküman analizi yöntemi ile analiz edilmiştir. Etkinlikler, matematiği günlük hayatla ilişkilendirme, matematiği farklı disiplinlerle ilişkilendirme, kavramlar arasında ilişkilendirme ve matematiksel kavramın farklı gösterimleri arasında ilişkilendirme kategorileri altında incelenmiştir.. Araştırmadan elde edilen sonuçlara göre, genel olarak matematik ders kitaplarında yer alan etkinliklerin en çok günlük hayatla ilişkilendirildiği görülmektedir. Sıklıkla kullanılan bir diğer matematiksel ilişkilendirme türü ise; kavramların farklı gösterimleri arasında ilişkilendirilmesidir. Bununla birlikte; 5. sınıf ders kitaplarında kavramlar arası ilişkilendirmeye, 6. sınıf ders kitaplarında kavramlar arası ilişkilendirmeyle birlikte matematiği farklı disiplinlerle ilişkilendirmeye, 7. ve 8. sınıf ders kitaplarında matematiği farklı disiplinlerle ilişkilendirmeye az sayıda yer verildiği tespit edilmiştir. Araştırmadan elde edilen sonuçların, ders kitaplarının yazımına, lisans düzeyinde okutulan “Matematik Öğretiminde İlişkilendirme” dersinin içeriğine ve bu konu hakkında çalışma yapacak diğer araştırmacılara yol göstereceği düşünülmektedir.

Published: May 2024

Bu çalışmanın amacı, MIST (Meksika, Endonezya, Güney Kore ve Türkiye) ve IBSA (Hindistan, Brezilya ve Güney Afrika) ülkelerindeki uluslararası turist girişlerinin karbon dioksit (CO2) salımı üzerindeki etkisini incelemektir. Bu ülkeler, turizm endüstrisi için önemli bir potansiyele sahip olmakla birlikte, ilgili ülkelerde turizmin olumsuz çevresel etkilerine ilişkin yeterli araştırmalar yapılmamıştır. Bu doğrultuda çalışmada, 1995-2019 dönemi için MIST ve IBSA ülkelerinde uluslararası turist girişlerinin CO2 salımı üzerindeki etkisi analiz edilmiştir. Analizde Westerlund eş-bütünleşme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Test sonuçları, uluslararası turist girişleri ve CO2 salımı arasında uzun dönemli bir ilişki olduğunu göstermektedir. Çalışmada ayrıca, Ortak İlişkili Etkiler Ortalama Grup ve Genişletilmiş Ortalama Grup yöntemlerinden yararlanılarak uzun dönem katsayılar tahmin edilmiştir. Test sonuçlarına göre; Endonezya, Güney Kore ve Brezilya’daki uluslararası turist girişlerinin CO2 salımını artırdığı; Güney Afrika’da ise bu salımı azalttığı tespit edilmiştir. Bu sonuçlar, Endonezya, Güney Kore ve Brezilya’daki turizm faaliyetlerinin daha sıkı bir şekilde düzenlenmesi ve denetlenmesi gerektiğini göstermektedir. Çalışmada işaret edilen öneriler itibarıyla, çalışmanın literatüre önemli bir katkıda bulunacağı düşünülmektedir.

Teknolojinin hızla ilerlemesiyle birlikte öğrenme ortamları da dijital dünyada önemli bir konum kazanmıştır. E-öğrenme platformlarının yaygınlaşması, yükseköğretimde önemli değişikliklere yol açmış ve bu platformların öğrenciler tarafından benimsenmesini etkileyen faktörlerin anlaşılmasını gerektirmiştir. Bu çalışma, yükseköğretim öğrencilerinin e-öğrenme platformlarına yönelik algılarını farklı değişkenler temelinde araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır.
Bu amaç doğrultusunda, yapı geçerliliği açısından verilere iyi uyum sağlayan, 46 maddeden oluşan Teknoloji Kabul Modeli (TKM) kapsamında E-Öğrenme Platformlarının Kullanım Algısı Ölçeği Türkçeye uyarlanmıştır. Daha sonra uyarlanan ölçek kullanılarak katılımcıların e-öğrenme platformlarını kullanım algıları ve ölçeğin alt boyutlarından aldıkları puanlar, farklı değişkenler göz önünde bulundurularak incelenmiştir. Toplanan verilerle yapılan doğrulayıcı faktör analizi, ölçeğin orijinalinde geçerli olan beş faktörlü bir yapıya sahip olduğunu göstermiştir. Ayrıca hesaplanan Cronbach alfa ve McDonald’s Omega değerleri, ölçeğin güvenilir olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Katılımcıların e-öğrenme platformlarını kullanım algıları ve ölçeğin alt boyutlarından aldıkları puanlar, cinsiyet ve bölüme göre anlamlı bir farklılık göstermezken, sınıf düzeyine göre yapılan incelemede anlamlı bir şekilde farklılaştığı tespit edilmiştir. Sonuçlar, ilgili alanyazın bağlamında tartışılmıştır.

Kentsel mekânlar zaman içinde değişen toplumsal, işlevsel, siyasal, teknolojik farklı etkenler sebebiyle fiziksel dönüşüme maruz kalmaktadır. Nüfus artışı, kent merkezindeki fonksiyonel değişimler, yeni gelişen yerleşim alanları, imar planı değişimleri, kentte yeni çekirdeklerin gelişmesi, kentsel dönüşüm, ekonomik nedenler özellikle kent merkezlerinin dönüşümünde rol oynayan başlıca etkenler olarak sıralanabilmektedir. Bu etkenler kent merkezlerinin hem işlevsel ve sosyal yapısını hem de buna bağlı olarak fiziksel yapısının değişimine neden olmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda çalışmanın temel amacı, kent merkezlerinin tarihsel süreç içinde geçirdiği morfolojik dönüşümün incelenmesidir. Bu kapsamda çalışmada Elazığ kent merkezinin en önemli aksı olan Gazi Caddesi ve yakın çevresi çalışma alanı olarak seçilmiştir. Alanın 1957 -58 döneminin ve günümüz halinin Conzen yöntemi ile analiz edilerek karşılaştırılması amaçlanmıştır. İmar planları, halihazır haritalar, fotoğraflar ve literatür kaynaklarından faydalanılarak alanın geçmişten bugüne sokak dokuları, ada-parsel desenleri, bina-parsel ilişkileri, arazi kullanımları ve doluluk oranları incelenerek karşılaştırılmıştır. Bu doğrultuda kentin merkezindeki en önemli akslardan birinin 65 yıl içindeki fiziksel ve işlevsel dönüşümünün incelenmesi hedeflenmiştir. Çalışmanın sonucunda, alandaki en büyük değişimin arazi kullanımı, bina tipolojisi ve bina parsel ilişkilerinde olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Kent nüfusunun artması ve süreç içerisinde yapılan imar planları kapsamında alandaki yoğunluk artırımı, nizam tipi ve kat sayısı değişimleri fiziksel işlevsel değişimin başlıca nedenleri olarak sıralanmaktadır.
De la represión penal a la prevención primaria de la criminalidad

Published: May 2024

La democracia contemporánea a través de la tridivisión del poder establece como horizonte la tutela jurisdiccional de los derechos fundamentales. En tal sentido, el presente artículo tiene como objetivo analizar la evolución del derecho penal, explorando la transición desde enfoques basados en formas terciarias de intervención hacia estrategias caracterizadas por la extrema represión penal, hasta la prevención primaria del delito. Variables que se reflejan en las actuaciones jurídicas presentes en el contexto del derecho aplicado en Colombia. Metodológicamente se hizo una investigación de tipo cualitativa desde un enfoque hermenéutico-descriptivo. Entre los hallazgos se pudo evidenciar que aún en América Latina se utilizan diversos enfoques que hacen especialmente énfasis en lo punitivo. Sin embargo, las actuaciones criminales ocurridas en la realidad de varios países dan cuenta de la necesidad de abordar las causas subyacentes en la pobreza y la exclusión social, como una línea de apuesta para disminuir la criminalidad.
"Blockchain, principios hipotecarios e interconexión registral
Authors: Schuller Robert Reinhart
Published: May 2024

Blockchain ha suscitado interés en numerosos ámbitos, siendo el Registral uno de ellos. Los principios hipotecarios son un fiel reflejo de un sistema Registral, con lo cual, resulta interesante analizarlos y ponerlos en relación con la tecnología blockchain. La pretensión de armonizar e interconectar los Registros a nivel europeo no es algo novedoso, sin embargo, todavía no se ha producido tal hecho. ¿Podría la tecnología blockchain/DLT coadyuvar a conseguir esa meta?
