Leontiev's dynamic model as a tool for forecasting the development of the economy of Ukraine
Authors: PISTUNOV Ihor , LITAU Yelizaveta
Published: December 2022

The development of Ukraine's economy is taking place in the conditions of contradictory trends of getting rid of the consequences of the totalitarian past with a rigid planned economy that did not take into account rapid changes in demand and production, and efforts to become a country with a real market economy. Therefore, the ability to forecast prospects for Ukraine's economic progress is very important.
To solve the problems, Leontiev's dynamic model with three types of production activity was used: the production of work tools (industry 1), the production of labor items (industry 2), the production of consumer goods (industry 3), which, according to the authors, best corresponds to the modern realities of the Ukrainian economy.
Data for calculating the coefficients of the model were taken from the website of the State Statistics Office for the years 2010-2020 on a quarterly basis. The grouping of data was carried out according to the requirements of the model, by compiling the indicators of the branches of production that are included in the corresponding type of production activity. The model of production of consumer goods is described by an exponential dependence with the addition of sinusoidal effects. The derivatives of the first order were replaced by the differences of the next and previous values of the indicators. The data of each indicator for the previous period were taken as the basis of the arguments. The frequency and amplitude of the two sinusoids were determined through spectral analysis. The calculation of coefficients of models for the production of work tools and the production of work items was carried out by the method of regression analysis. The coefficient of determination of the models exceeded 0.9. Cauchy's problem regarding the production of labor tools has been solved.
Based on the coefficients of the tool production model a, g1, b1, b2, coefficients r0 (r zero) and lambda are determined, which allow to assess the state of the country's economy.
A system of three equations was used to calculate the forecast for 2021-2022. A comparison of the forecast with DerzhStat data for 2021 showed acceptable forecasting accuracy.

Authors: BONDARENKO Olha , KOZLOVA Viktoriia , LEBEDIEVA Anastasiia
Published: December 2022

This paper considers a simplified taxation mechanism used by small business entities. The state is most interested in the development of small businesses. Small enterprises create jobs, increase revenues to the state budget and fill market segments that are closed to large enterprises. The complexity of financial accounting and compliance with the rules of the general taxation system were an obstacle for many people to officially register as entrepreneurs. Aware of this, the government developed measures to detinize the work of self-employed persons, providing them with comfortable working conditions. And it is the presence of a simplified taxation system that is one of the main tools for this today. During her work, she has already managed to show herself as a useful and popular tool, which is chosen not only by aspiring startups, but also by experienced businessmen. More and more small businesses choose to switch to a simplified system of taxation, accounting and reporting. Such a step is appropriate, because it allows to reduce the tax burden and, as a result, to have more resources for growth. It also simplifies financial accounting and reporting, which reduces the risk of making mistakes and, as a result, paying fines. All highly developed countries prioritize the development of small businesses and apply a simplified taxation system. Ukraine is oriented towards international standards, therefore the improvement of taxation is currently in the center of attention of scientific and public opinion. In order to contribute to the research of this important topic, we will consider a number of theoretical, organizational and practical aspects of the simplified taxation system and propose ways to improve it in this paper.

Authors: Chitranshi Swati , Upadhyay Braj Kishor , Gupta Akanksha
Published: December 2022

The study is aimed at the molecular identification of ravine soil fungal isolates and their volatile organic compounds (VOCs) profiling. Chambal ravines of Morena, located at latitude 26?5?N and longitude 78?0? E at an elevation of 177 meters. Ravine soil is marked for depleted nutrients. The isolates were identified by macroscopic and microscopic examinations followed by molecular identification the extracted fungal DNA was amplified for specific internal transcribed spacer primer (ITS1/ITS4). The products were sequenced and deposited in GenBank (NCBI), sequence similarity was checked and a phylogram was constructed. The isolates were identified and named Porostereum sp. HGBS16 and Neurospora sp. PAMS29. The VOCs/bioactive molecules were allowed to produce under static submerged fermentation. VOCs/bioactive molecules extracted with polar solvent and characterized by GCMS analysis. Besides playing an active role in communication, the obtained VOCs have other useful attributes of industrial and other beneficial uses. The prevailing compounds produced by Neurospora sp. PAMS29 is octasiloxane (50.32%) followed by the production of octadecane (42.67%) and cyclopentasiloxane (7.01%) whereas Porostereum sp. HGB16 displayed bicyclo (2.2.1) heptane-2-one (86.09%), followed by dodecane (6.09%) and tetradecane (4.05%). The VOC octadecane is reported as a pheromone, a chemical messenger which is useful for mating in fungi. The Presence of octadecane confirms that Neurospora sp. PAMS29 used Pheromones as the mating messenger. Both fungal extracts showed the presence of vitamin C under screening test and exhibited good DPPH free radical scavenging activity with 76.74±7.81 inhibition by Porostereum sp. HGB16 whereas Neurospora sp. PAMS29 showed 82.1±6.47 percent inhibition activity. Results showed that the VOCs produced by fungal isolates have the potential for industrial uses and can be used in body care products in place of synthetic polysiloxanes, though the D5 is already reported to be used in cosmetics. This study introduces new fungal strains and their VOCs to the microbial research domain. Simultaneously the isolates are producing vitamin C and also exhibited the DPPH free radical scavenging activities. Both isolates are aromatic therefore it can be used in the perfume industry. Concluding, this is the
first attempt at molecular identification of ravine soil fungal isolates and exploration of their VOCs. These results supported that VOCs are not waste products, they are very useful products at a certain level.

Rejestracja związków wyznaniowych w Rzeczpospolitej Polskiej oraz w Federacji Rosyjskiej
Authors: Tempczyk Paweł
Published: December 2022

Artykuł dotyczy zasad rejestracji kościołów i związków wyznaniowych w Rzeczpospolitej Polskiej oraz w Federacji Royjskiej. Celem tak zarysowanego tematu było krótkie przedstawienie obecnej sytuacji prawnej w Polsce oraz zestawienie ich z rosyjskimi rozwiązaniami. W opracowaniu publikacji posiłkowano się konstytucją Federacji Rosyjskiej, ustawą o wolności sumienia i związkach religijnych, analizami i publikacjami naukowców i ekspertów, danymi statystycznymi oraz przytoczono wyrok Sądu Najwyższego Federacji Rosyjskiej. 
Analiza jurisprudencji Federacji Rosyjskiej dowodzi, że proces rejestracji związków wyznaniów w zupełności odbiega od przyjętych standardów w Polsce.
Po pierwsze, prawo rosyjskie w znacznym stopniu umożliwia nieskrępowaną działalność związków wyznaniowych w postaci lokalnych grup religijnych, czego polskie ustawodawstwo nie przewiduje. Po drugie, w Federacji Rosyjskiej istnieją liczne podziały kompetencyjne w kwestii nadzoru pomiędzy władzami federalnymi, a lokalnymi. Po trzecie, rosyjskie przepisy konstytucyjne i tzw. ustawa antyekstremistyczna są normami prawnymi, które dopuszczają legalną interwencję organów administracji w działania danego zrzeszenia. Po czwarte, polskie przepisy wydają się stosunkowo liberalne w kwestii cenzusu ilościowego (100 osób) w procesie rejestracji ogólnokrajowego związku wyznaniowego. 
W związku z planowanymi pracami legislacyjnymi nad nowelizacją przepisów w zakresie rejestracji związków wyznaniowych w Polsce, artykuł stanowi ciekawą komparatystykę rozwiązań polskich i rosyjskich w tym obszarze.

В статье анализируется история классификаций собственных имен и их субъективных трансформаций, связанных с изменением онимосферы. Рассмотрены неправовые методы именований, акцентирующие идеологические оценки лексического значения слов, входящих в структуру отдельной проприальной единицы. Предлагается оригинальная методика классификации собственных имен исходя из соответствия их языковой формы внутреннему социальному содержанию. В ее основе лежит отношение номинатора к собственнику, на основании которого выделяется четыре типа собственных имен: собственные, метафорические, внесобственные и не собственные. Определяются правовые принципы, позволяющие обеспечить социально-правовую стабильность онимосферы: принцип статусной уникальности онимной единицы; принцип неприкосновенности собственного имени;  принцип сохранения первичного или исторически сложившегося собственника.

СОЦИОЛИНГВИСТИЧЕСКИЕ МАРКЕРЫ ВЛАСТИ И СОЛИДАРНОСТИ В КОММУНИКАЦИИ ГОВОРЯЩИХ
Authors: Кириленко Светлана Владимировна
Published: December 2022

Понятия власти (англ. ‘power’) и солидарности (англ. ‘solidarity’) в социальном взаимодействии являются поливалентными терминологическими маркерами в социолингвистике. Они используются во многих направлениях исследований в социолингвистике, что обусловлено важностью изучения способов формирования взаимоотношений внутри языковых сообществ, а также и в межъязыковой коммуникации. В работе рассматривается ряд моновалентных терминов как часть социолингвистических маркеров тематической терминологической группы «язык и социальное взаимодействие». Целью данной работы, которая носит обзорный характер, является представить описание социолингвистических маркеров, демонстрирующих власть над собеседником или солидарность с ним. Концепция власти в коммуникации рассматривается на микроуровне: анализируются способы выражения доминирования в коммуникации. Концепция солидарности изучается с точки зрения используемых средств выражения принадлежности говорящих к единой социальной или языковой группе. В статье рассматриваются такие социолингвистические переменные, как молчание и прерывание, позитивная и негативная вежливость, смешение и переключение кодов, открытый и скрытый престиж, корректность высказывания и адекватность высказывания как способы демонстрации доминирования в коммуникации или способы выказывания солидарности с собеседником. Анализируются функциональные особенности этих социолингвистических переменных в коммуникации.

Insights on inflation expectations in the Philippines from a household survey
Authors: Cacnio Faith Christian , Basilio Joselito
Published: December 2022

The study contributes to the literature on expectations by providing insights on household expectations from an emerging market and inflation targeting country like the Philippines. Using the results of the Consumer Expectations Survey (CES), a quarterly household survey conducted by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), the study is the first to look at the characteristics and determinants of household inflation expectations in the Philippines at a granular level. Results show that survey-based household expectations in the country are not rational. Filipino households exhibit an upward bias in their forecast of future inflation and they tend to rely more on information about past inflation to form their expectations. Nonetheless, in recent years, households have started to incorporate information about future outcomes in their inflation expectations process. To determine the factors that drive household expectations in the Philippines, aggregated (i.e., time series) and disaggregated (i.e., pooled data) data from CES quarterly survey rounds between 2010 and 2020 are used on a standard inflation expectations model. Empirical results point to a significant effect of income conditions, perceptions on economic and financial conditions, the inflation target, and demographic factors (e.g., educational attainment, marital status) on the formation of household expectations in the Philippines. Based on the findings and observations, the study draws insights for central bank communication strategy, particularly in influencing household expectations.
Heterogenous impact of monetary policy on the Philippine rural banking system
Authors: Glindro Eloisa , Armas Jean Christine , Tolentino V. Bruce , Dela Cruz-Sombe Lorna
Published: December 2022

This paper shows the differential impact of monetary policy on the lending behavior of rural banks, with the bank lending channel being operational in small rural banks. While big rural banks are able to protect their lending portfolio from contractionary monetary policy by the size of their balance sheet, small rural banks with less diversified funding portfolio cannot. Moreover, highly capitalized rural banks are more inclined to protect their capital than expand their lending portfolio, following monetary tightening and higher capital requirement. The insignificance of gross domestic product (GDP) growth may reflect weakness in effective loan demand and lack of diversification that could have also impinged on the earning capacity of rural banks, as supported by initial estimates on the drivers of rural bank profitability. The finding on heterogeneous effects of monetary policy on rural banks has a secondary implication of lending credence to the principle of proportionality embodied in the BSP’s bank regulatory framework.
The long and the short of it: revisiting the effects of microfinance-oriented banks on household welfare in the Philippines
Authors: Layaoen Cherry Wyle , Takahashi Kazushi
Published: December 2022

Although evidence on the impact of microfinance is continuously accumulating, little is known about how long-term presence of microfinance institutions affects household welfare. This study addresses the issue by evaluating a household-level panel data and a unique event in the Philippines when the microfinance industry was mainstreamed and commercialized in the banking sector with microfinance-oriented banks (MOBs), which began to open in 2004. We find that the positive effects of longer MOB presence on entrepreneurial income and activities diminish or even regress over time. Moreover, no significant impacts are noted on real expenditures. Heterogeneity analysis further reveals that no immediate or incremental effects were observed on real expenditures of poor families and the immediate positive effect on entrepreneurial income and activities did not accrue in the long run. Lastly, no significant long-term impacts are noted on real expenditures as well as likelihood of and income from entrepreneurial and wage and salary activities of non-poor families from MOB presence. We, however, argue that MOB presence may reduce vulnerability as it affords households to be entrepreneurs.
Instrument development for measuring determinants in defense R&D policy
Authors: Kim Jeonghun , Kang Dongwoon , Kang Bongcheol
Published: December 2022

The Korean military's defense research and development (R&D) policy was often shortsighted because of environmental changes, such as the Korea–U.S. alliance, security policies under the regime, and limited budgets. In addition, there was a lack of prior research focusing on identifying the determinants of defense R&D policy, making it difficult for stakeholders in defense R&D policies to determine the appropriateness or validity of decision making. To this end, the purpose of the present study was to suggest a basic reference for defense R&D decision making through the conceptualization of determinants in defense R&D policy and development of measurement items. For this, we developed operational definitions of influencing factors and preliminary items related to defense R&D policy decisions, considering the Republic of Korea Armed Forces. To test reliability and validity, we performed exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses based on discussions with experts. The results show a six-factor structure (security policy, defense posture, technological ambition, dominant and shifting paradigm, science and technology, industry knowledge base, and resources) and 24 items. It is concluded that the use of questionnaire results might better reflect multiple aspects of decision making in defense R&D policy. Future studies need to elaborate on the measurement indicators for defense R&D policy determinants and theorize on policy directions according to changes in future defense and private technology development.
Improvement of combat readiness for Republic of Korea Army
Authors: Seo Hoseok , Jeong Sukjae
Published: December 2022

The Russian invasion of Ukraine highlights the importance of strengthening combat readiness in the military. The purpose of this study was to devise a policy implementation that can ensure the appropriateness of the evaluation using the improvement elements of the current combat readiness evaluation in the Korean Army. To do so, the acts and regulations of combat readiness assessment and application cases in field units were analyzed, and the necessary improvements of elements were derived by collecting expert opinions using a Delphi survey. The analysis revealed that the weights for each evaluation element through the analytic hierarchy process survey were presented to assess the quantitative elements (troops, equipment, supplies, and competency) at the C-level, and the use of a judgment process was suggested to assist the commander in reasonably determining the level of qualitative evaluation factors when evaluating the grade (final decision of the level of combat readiness of the unit) at the mission assessment (MA-level). The results of this study can be applied to the assessment of combat readiness level to identify the poor elements of the field units objectively and report them accurately to the upper unit. Future, research must study topics related to the elaboration of assessment elements that can ensure the accuracy and reliability of the evaluation of combat readiness in terms of organizational competency development.
Contextualizing migration and mental health in the post-COVID era
Authors: FASESAN OLUWATOYIN
Published: December 2022

Background: The population of migrants all over the world is progressively rising. The major reasons for migration include the desire for self-actualization, moving to a place with more opportunities, tourism, and education, and escaping hardship and political unrest in the home country. In recent times climate change, insecurity, and economic hardship are top of the list. The global economy has suffered a major blow from the multiple waves of the lingering COVID-19 pandemic. To lessen the scourge of inflation and to restore economic stability, several countries are being forced to liberalize their immigration policies and therefore immigrants are welcomed in these nations. This review attempts to investigate how migration in the post-pandemic era affects migrants' mental health.
Main Text: Migration and the COVID-19 epidemic both have beneficial and durable effects on the mental health of migrants and immigration laws have a direct impact on several health-related issues. Mental health disorders may develop at any point from the pre-migration phase to the post-migration settlement in the host nations. Factors such as host community, racism, marginalization, political climate, poor support, loss of social status, language barriers, undocumented status, climate change, mode of dressing in the host country, and several others may lead to mental health disorders among migrants. Unfortunately, there is limited access to care, and the services provided may not be culturally sensitive.
Conclusion: Despite the benefits gotten from migration like financial benefits and economic development of the native country and the left behind family members, migration has enormous psychological complications which have to be attended to. Access to specialists who are trained to provide culturally sensitive interventions and implement outreach programs to introduce the services to the migrants’ community should be encouraged.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 124 randomly selected HIV-infected persons on protease inhibitor therapy who receive care at the adult antiretroviral clinic of the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan. DNA was extracted from leucocytes using EDTA blood. ApoE genotypes were determined using the Seeplex ApoE ACE genotyping kit. The epidemiological distribution of apoE is figured with a pie graph.
Results: About four-fifth (79%) of the participants were females while about two-thirds (68%) were below 50 years of age.  The most frequently occurring allele was the ε3 allele (82.2%) and the most common ApoE genotype observed was ε3/ε3. This genotype was present in 52 (41.9%) of the participants. At least one allele of Apo ε2, Apo ε3, and Apo ε4 was present in 28(22.5%), 102 (82.2%), and 50 (40.3) of the study participants respectively. Homozygosity for Apo ε2 and Apo ε4 was observed in 4.8% and 8.0% of participants respectively.
Conclusions: Allelic frequency seen is similar to that described in other studied populations and the frequency of genotypes observed was also similar to those described among world populations with a higher observation of ApoE4 allele as seen in people of African descent.
COP27: Climate Change Conference: urgent action needed for Africa and the world
Authors: Chris Zielinski
Published: December 2022

The 2022 report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) paints a dark picture of the future of life on earth, characterized by ecosystem collapse, species extinction, and climate hazards such as heatwaves and floods (1). These are all linked to physical and mental health problems, with direct and indirect consequences of increased morbidity and mortality. To avoid these catastrophic health effects across all regions of the globe, there is broad agreement—as 231 health journals argued together in 2021—that the rise in global temperature must be limited to less than 1.5oC compared with pre-industrial levels.
While the Paris Agreement of 2015 outlines a global action framework that incorporates providing climate finance to developing countries, this support has yet to materialize (2). COP27 is the fifth Conference of the Parties (COP) to be organized in Africa since its inception in 1995. Ahead of this meeting, we—as health journal editors from across the continent—call for urgent action to ensure it is the COP that finally delivers climate justice for Africa and vulnerable countries. This is essential not just for the health of those countries, but for the health of the whole world.

The purpose of this article is to emphasize the importance of practice or habituation, in addition to invoke students to live Islamic way. Habituation of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in elementary schools is an actualization of student character building since an early age. In addition to teachers, supervisors also have a strategic role for improving the quality of PAI through habituation programs, because they can coordinate directly with two relevant agencies: The Ministry of Religious Affairs and The Education and Cultural Office. The methods used in this study are participatory observation, interviews, and literature review to support the main data. The results show that the role of PAI Supervisors in habituation is to motivate, to facilitate, as well as to be a partner for finding solutions towards the obstacles faced by Islamic Religious Education teachers in schools. It can be concluded that the supervisor as a Quality Assurance of Islamic Religious Education in elementary schools must support teachers to be able to manage the habituation proportionally, to encourage stakeholders, to integrate it with all school elements, and to complement the facilities as well as infrastructures which are still unevenly maintained by the elementary schools.
Karadeniz Bölgesinde Yer Alan İl ve İlçe Belediyelerinin İnternet Siteleri Üzerinden E-Belediyecilik Uygulamaları Analizi

Karadeniz bölgesi Türkiye’nin en fazla il ve ilçe belediyesine ev sahipliği yapan bölgelerinden bir tanesidir. Özellikle son yıllarda bu bölgede bulunan belediyelerin teknoloji ve iletişim alanında yaşanan gelişmelerin de etkisiyle hizmet sunum anlayışında e-belediyecilik adı verilen, halkın yerel ihtiyaçlarının karşılanmasında teknoloji tabanlı, karşılıklı etkileşime izin veren platformlardan daha fazla yararlandıkları görülmektedir. E-belediyecilik uygulamalarıyla, yerel halkın daha hızlı, etkin, düşük maliyette ve beklentilerine cevap veren hizmetler alması hedeflenmektedir. Ancak bu hizmetlerin yaygınlaşması belediyelerin sosyo-ekonomik büyüklükleri, alt yapısı ve finansal kaynakları yanında, bu konunun desteklenmesi bağlı olarak farklılıklar göstermektedir. Bu çalışmayla, Karadeniz bölgesinde yer alan il ve ilçe belediyelerinin e-belediyecilik faaliyetleri konusundaki durumunun saptanması amaçlanmaktadır. Bu amaçla öncelikle çalışmada teorik olarak e-belediyecilik konusu ele alınmakta, ardından Karadeniz bölgesinde bulunan il ve ilçe belediyelerinin internet siteleri üzerinden gerçekleştirilecek içerik analizlerine yer verilmektedir. Çalışmadan elde edilen bulgulara göre Karadeniz bölgesinde bulunan belediyelerin e-belediyecilik uygulamalarına artan oranda önem verdikleri görülürken, e-belediyecilik uygulamalarının belediyelerin büyüklükleri yanı sıra, belediye yönetiminin bu konudaki desteğine göre farklılaştığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
Enflasyonun Finansal Tablolara Etkisi ve Enflasyon Muhasebesi

Published: December 2022

Enflasyon muhasebesi yüksek ya da hiperenflasyon yaşayan ülkeler tarafından uzunca bir süredir kullanılmaktadır Türkiye 21. yüzyılın başlarında enflasyon muhasebesi ya da enflasyon düzeltmesi konusunda önemli denilebilecek yasal çerçeve geliştirmiştir. Fakat son yirmi yılda Türkiye’de enflasyon oranları yasayla belirlenen kriterlerin altında seyrettiği için ülkemizde, 2004 yılı hariç, genel nitelikli bir enflasyon muhasebesi uygulaması yapılmamıştır. Günümüzde ise enflasyonun tekrardan yüksek rakamlara ulaşması enflasyon muhasebesi tartışmalarını yeniden gündeme getirmiştir. Bununla birlikte enflasyonun Türkiye açısından yapısal bir problem olduğu ve her an tekrar yükselebileceği dikkate alınırsa enflasyon muhasebesinin önemi anlaşılacaktır. Enflasyon muhasebesi literatürde ve uygulamada “kısmi (geleneksel) yöntemler” ve “genel nitelikli yöntemler” olmak üzere ikiye ayrılmaktadır. Genel nitelikli yöntemler içerisinde ise “genel fiyat yüzdesi yöntemi” en sık kullanılandır. Bu çalışmada muhasebe bilgi kalitesini arttıran ve finansal tabloların güvenilirliğini sağlayan bir yöntem olarak enflasyon muhasebesi konusu genel hatlarıyla ele alınmış ve bir uygulama örneği geliştirilmiştir. Çalışmada, enflasyon muhasebesinin muhasebe meslek mensupları açısından daha iyi anlaşılmasının sağlanması gerektiği ve enflasyon muhasebesinin olağan iş akışı içerisinde sürekli uygulanmasının faydalı olacağı sonucuna varılmıştır.

Sürdürülebilir tedarik zinciri yapılarının oluşturulabilmesi için doğru tedarikçi seçimi önemlidir. Özellikle çevreye ve insan sağlığına duyarlı tedarikçilerin yani yeşil tedarikçilerin tespit edilmesi tedarikçi seçim sürecindeki temel hedefler arasında yer almaktadır. Yeşil tedarikçi seçim (YTS) problemi yoğunlukla çok kriterli karar verme ve çok ölçütlü grup karar verme araştırmalar konusudur. Bu araştırma da bir otel işletmesinin YTS problemi ele alınmıştır. Araştırmada küresel bulanık sayılar kullanılarak “İdeal çözüme benzerliğe göre sıralama tercihi (TOPSIS)” tekniği uygulanmıştır. Araştırma kapsamında üç karar verici, dört alternatif ve dört kriter (Ekonomi, Kalite, Sosyal ve Çevresel kriterler) kullanılmıştır. Küresel bulanık dilsel ifadelere dayalı toplanan veriler Küresel Ağırlıklı Aritmetik Ortalama (SWAM) operatörü ile birleştirilmiş ve kriterler ağırlıklandırılmıştır. Küresel bulanık sayılara dayalı TOPSIS tekniğiyle alternatifler sıralanmıştır. Araştırma bulgularına göre otel işletmesinin YTS kriter ağırlığı en yüksek kriter kalite kriteri olarak, en düşük kriter sosyal kriter olarak belirlenmiştir. Uygulama sonucunda alternatiflerin sıralaması yapılmış ve üçüncü alternatif en iyi alternatif olarak tespit edilmiştir. Araştırmacılara YTS problem çözümünde bulanık sayılarla çok ölçütlü grup karar verme tekniklerinin uygulanması önerilmiştir.

Bu çalışmanın amacı kişiler arası ilişkilerde affetme ile ilişki kalitesi arasındaki ilişkide duygusal bağımlılığın aracı rolünü incelemektir. Ayrıca kişiler arası ilişkilerde affetme, ilişki kalitesi ve duygusal bağımlılığın yaş ve ilişki değişkenleri bakımından ele alınması da çalışmanın amaçları arasında yer almaktadır. Araştırmanın örneklemi, 18 yaşından büyük, herhangi bir romantik ilişkisi olan 303 (%70.1) kadın ve 129 (%29) erkek olmak üzere toplam 432 bireyden oluşmaktadır. Araştırma verilerini toplamak amacıyla Demografik Bilgi Formu, Kişiler Arası İlişkilerde Affetme Ölçeği, Algılanan Romantik İlişki Kalitesi Ölçeği ve Duygusal Bağımlılık Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonucunda kişiler arası ilişkilerde affetme eğilimi, ilişki kalitesi ve duygusal bağımlılık arasında anlamlı ilişkiler bulunmuştur. Kurulan modelde affetme ile ilişki kalitesi arasındaki ilişkide duygusal bağımlılığın kısmi aracı rolü olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Ayrıca yaş ve ilişki süresinin ilişki kalitesi ile negatif yönde ilişkili olduğu, diğer değişkenlerle olan ilişkilerinin ise anlamlı olmadığı belirlenmiştir.
Doktrin Keutamaan Kristus Dalam Surat Ibrani Bagi Dedikasi Iman Orang Percaya
Authors: Epan Yovianus , Santo Joseph Christ
Published: December 2022

Kristologi merupakan doktrin yang secara khusus mempelajari mengenai Kristus. Kitab Ibrani juga secara utuh memotret Kristus yang paling utama di antara segala yang dibandingkan dengan-Nya, bahwasanya Ia lebih unggul dari nabi-nabi, malaikat, imam-imam, ritual, dan korban. Kristologi dalam bingkai biblikal ini memiliki tiga nilai paling penting, yaitu hubungan Perjanjian Lama dan Perjanjian Baru, kekuasaan tertinggi Kristus, dan signifikansi pragmatik. Secara umum surat Ibrani memiliki nilai Kristologi yang kental dan sangat tinggi sehingga menjadi keutamaan bagi isi surat. Doktrin ini merupakan dasar yang paling fundamental dalam ajaran kekristenan, dan begitu penting bagi iman Kristen. Pemahaman doktrin Kristologi berperan penting dalam membangun dedikasi iman, dan kontribusi doktrin tersebut secara pragmatis dalam kehidupan orang percaya memberikan pemahaman iman yang berdedikasi dalam pengorbanan, pikiran, tenaga, dan waktu yang tertuju kepada Kristus.
