269Redefining the Conceptual Ground of Corporate Governance Regulation
Authors: Kecskés András , Halász Vendel
Published: December 2024

This article intends to provide an overview about the latest sustainability-related developments of European corporate governance. As a theoretical background it interprets the concept of sustainability and compares the competing theories regarding the purpose of public corporations in this context. The article attempts to provide an overview about the ‘interests of the company’ in European company law and the relevant interests that corporate directors should consider in EU Member States. It emphasizes the importance of corporate sustainability reporting in EU legislation; hence the Non-Financial Reporting Directive and the recently adopted Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive are examined in detail. The article also pays attention to the latest sustainability-related requirements of important European corporate governance codes and summarizes the emerging best-practice rules. It recognizes numerous promising developments and highlights the proposed Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive as it would make the EU regulatory system more coherent. The article concludes that the dominance of anti-fraud issues in corporate governance standard setting seems to be over and there is a new regulatory wave which focuses on sustainability. However, no breakthrough can be reached without a proper business environment and economic culture developed in the whole EU, which promotes sustainable corporate governance.270
El archivo familiar en el documental feminista contemporáneo de Argentina: Agustina Comedi, Tatiana Mazú González y Natalia Garayalde
Authors: Karrer Michael
Published: December 2024

El artículo examina tres películas de cineastas argentinas que sitúan el relato familiar y su correlato audiovisual, el video doméstico, en el centro de sus exploraciones de historias en las que se difuminan los límites entre lo personal y lo político y entre lo individual y lo colectivo. Se sostiene aquí que una perspectiva feminista es clave, no solo para el análisis de estas películas concretas, sino, de modo más general, para comprender las dislocaciones que el cine documental argentino ha mostrado en los últimos años con relación al lugar de lo político, y en las que la familia ocupa una posición radicalmente distinta a la sugerida por la noción burguesa de un espacio apolítico y carente de historicidad.
Desfamiliarizaciones en tiempos de guerra: resiliencia, lucha y reparación iconotextual en tres novelas gráficas sobre la Guerra Civil española
Authors: Reinstädler Janett
Published: December 2024

El cómic es el género literario-artístico más reciente en integrarse al tratamiento cultural de un pasado marcado por la violencia y la desfamiliarización en España. Este artículo examina tres novelas gráficas contemporáneas, producciones transculturales que se centran en los años 1920/30, el período de antisemitismo, fascismo, la Guerra Civil y la emigración. Estas obras, de coproducción alemana, francesa, italiana y española, narran historias —tanto reales como ficticias— sobre jóvenes mujeres que enfrentan desfamiliarizaciones vinculadas a la guerra. En ellas, se explorarán los paralelismos y diferencias en el diseño estético de la imagen y el lenguaje, así como la manera en que, a través de la fragmentación, lo imaginario y lo onírico, se atraviesan espacios ambivalentes de trauma. Al mismo tiempo, se abren nuevas perspectivas para el desarrollo personal de las protagonistas, tanto dentro como fuera del ámbito familiar.
Spatio-temporal trajectory alignment for trajectory evaluation
Authors: Tombrink Gereon , Dreier Ansgar , Klingbeil Lasse , Kuhlmann Heiner
Published: December 2024

Assessing the quality of a trajectory is a prerequisite for correctly interpreting and using the trajectory in applications such as kinematic laser scanning. Evaluation is for example done empirically by comparison with a ground-truth trajectory recorded simultaneously. Depending on the measurement and sensor configuration, both trajectories have to be aligned before comparison. Usually, either a similarity transformation or a rigid-body transformation is used for this purpose. We propose an extended spatio-temporal alignment, which additionally supports the estimation of a lever arm and a time offset between both trajectories. Our method can be used to align two trajectories of the same vehicle captured simultaneously by different sensors. We apply the approach on several recorded data sets and evaluate it empirically. We show that although real-world data sets can lead to high correlations between parameters, they can still be successfully aligned and evaluated using the methodology. To enable replication of our research, we publish the code which is available here: https://github.com/gereon-t/trajectopy.
Twisted conjugacy and separability
Authors: Tertooy Sam
Published: December 2024

A group 𝐺 is twisted conjugacy separable if, for every automorphism 𝜑, distinct 𝜑-twisted conjugacy classes can be separated in a finite quotient.
Likewise, 𝐺 is completely twisted conjugacy separable if, for any group 𝐻 and any two homomorphisms

(\varphi,\psi)

-twisted conjugacy classes can be separated in a finite quotient.
We study how these properties behave with respect to taking subgroups, quotients and finite extensions, and compare them to other notions of separability in groups.
Finally, we show that, for polycyclic-by-nilpotent-by-finite groups, being completely twisted conjugacy separable is equivalent to all quotients being residually finite.
Comparative analysis of impact of classification algorithms on security and performance bug reports
Authors: Said Maryyam , Bin Faiz Rizwan , Aljaidi Mohammad , Alshammari Muteb
Published: December 2024

Identification and classification of bugs, e.g., security and performance are a preemptive and fundamental practice which contributes to the development of secure and efficient software. Software Quality Assurance (SQA) needs to classify bugs into relevant categories, e.g., security and performance bugs since one type of bug may have a higher preference over another, thus facilitating software evolution and maintenance. In addition to classification, it would be ideal for the SQA manager to prioritize security and performance bugs based on the level of perseverance, severity, or impact to assign relevant developers whose expertise is aligned with the identification of such bugs, thus facilitating triaging. The aim of this research is to compare and analyze the prediction accuracy of machine learning algorithms, i.e., Artificial neural network (ANN), Support vector machine (SVM), Naïve Bayes (NB), Decision tree (DT), Logistic regression (LR), and K-nearest neighbor (KNN) to identify security and performance bugs from the bug repository. We first label the existing dataset from the Bugzilla repository with the help of a software security expert to train the algorithms. Our research type is explanatory, and our research method is controlled experimentation, in which the independent variable is prediction accuracy and the dependent variables are ANN, SVM, NB, DT, LR, and KNN. First, we applied preprocessing, Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency feature extraction methods, and then applied classification algorithms. The results were measured through accuracy, precision, recall, and F-measure and then the results were compared and validated through the ten-fold cross-validation technique. Comparative analysis reveals that two algorithms (SVM and LR) perform better in terms of precision (0.99) for performance bugs and three algorithms (SVM, ANN, and LR) perform better in terms of F1 score for security bugs as compared to other classification algorithms which are essentially due to the linear dataset and extensive number of features in the dataset.
Defense Burden Sharing and Military Cooperation in the EU27: A Descriptive Analysis (2002–2023)
Authors: Mombelli Sara
Published: December 2024

This paper analyzes defense burden sharing and defense cooperation in the European Union. The efforts to build a common defense framework within the EU have significantly increased since the 2000s. However, figures seem to highlight a reversal in defense cooperation trends that may potentially jeopardize the EU common defense framework. The underlying cause can be attributed to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2014. In 2022, the recrudescence of war caused a disruption to which member states answered with an old-fashioned receipt, composed of higher military expenditure driven by increasing commitment in military equipment procurement, accompanied by decreasing defense cooperation. Data related to the participation in Permanent Structured Cooperation defense joint programs seem to empirically confirm this new trend, as well as the impact the conflict has had on defense burden sharing. Fragmentation thus appears to be growing and undoing the progress made.
The effects of minimum wages on youth employment, unemployment, and income
Authors:   James Madison University, Kalenkoski Charlene Marie
Published: December 2024

Policymakers often propose a minimum wage as a means of raising incomes and lifting workers out of poverty. However, improvements in some young workers’ incomes due to a minimum wage come at a cost to others. Minimum wages reduce employment opportunities for youths and create unemployment. Workers miss out on on-the-job training opportunities that would have been paid for by reduced wages upfront but would have resulted in higher wages later. Youths who cannot find jobs must be supported by their families or by the social welfare system. Delayed entry into the labor market reduces the lifetime income stream of young unskilled workers.
Do women get into less debt? Gendered local political performance in the EU
Authors: Malicka Lenka , Vancova Jana , Hadacova Daniela , Juskova Dominika
Published: December 2024

Gender differences in local financial management are, according to empirical grounds, a reality that predetermines differences in the fiscal performance of municipalities led by women and men. The position of women leaders in public administration and their influence on sources of income, the nature of expenses, and the level of indebtedness have been a popular research issue in recent years, but it includes an almost unexplored gender dimension that needs deeper analysis. For this reason, the main aim of the paper is to examine the relationship between women’s representation in local politics (mayor and councilors) and local indebtedness, emphasizing the assumption about observed better fiscal discipline in municipalities led by female local authorities. The econometric estimations based on the panel data approach are conducted on the sample of twenty-seven European Union countries in the period 2011–2021 using the share of female mayors and female local councilors as explanatory variables. Further, we test the effects of the moment of the EU accession and the degree of fiscal decentralization to offer deeper insights into the problem. Results support the assumption of an inverse relationship between female mayors and local indebtedness, while female local councilors do not cause any statistically significant impact on local indebtedness. Other results show that the number of women in local politics and the degree of fiscal decentralization are important to consider when examining this relationship.
Soberanía alimentaria como camino de resistencia al enfoque de la seguridad alimentaria
Authors: Chapetón Castro Marcia Paola
Published: December 2024

This essay contributes to the debate on understanding food sovereignty and food security approaches as pathways to guarantee the human right to food. Based on the review of secondary sources of analysis carried out from the critical political economy on food regimes, the author demonstrates how food security arises in the context of the search for strategies to ensure worldwide food availability and hunger eradication, primarily through food aid programs. To achieve this purpose, an industrialized production model has been promoted that has led to consider food as a commodity and organizes the world in a way that favors the dispossession of land, knowledge, and cultures, benefiting a few social sectors interested in consolidating their dominant hegemonic power and the accumulation of capital. In response to this approach, the concept of food sovereignty emerges from the resistance of peasant social movements, rooted in an ontological and epistemological framework different from food security that implies a different praxis where emancipatory agroecologies are fundamental. Food sovereignty advocates for the people’s right to control and define their food systems, in addition to recognizing women’s fundamental role as producers and caretakers of life.
Educación Artística e Inclusión en Magisterio: Aproximación a lo Decolonial y las Estéticas-Otras mediante un Proceso de A/R/Tografía
Authors: Colomina-Molina Teresa
Published: December 2024

El movimiento decolonial denuncia al sistema occidental imperante por invisibilizar y desnaturalizar la diversidad, la cultura, el conocimiento y las estéticas-otras. Los centros educativos acogen estudiantes de diversas procedencias y subjetividades que no se reflejan en el currículo oficial. Disciplinas visuales como la performance o la fotografía han tenido importancia en el arte como herramientas de denuncia para una sociedad más equitativa. El objetivo principal de esta investigación es descubrir si el enfoque decolonial y a/r/tográfico se complementan de forma activa para ampliar la práctica artística intercultural e inclusiva de estudiantes del grado de educación primaria. Desde una metodología de investigación basada en las artes (IBA) y un enfoque a/r/tográfico, el alumnado tiene que investigar, crear y generar aprendizaje sobre racismo, machismo y homofobia mediante referentes artísticos. Los resultados obtenidos, de naturaleza cualitativa, se presentan a través de imágenes y reflexiones dialógicas colectivas. De este análisis se desprende, a modo de conclusión, que este tipo de dinámicas contribuye a la comprensión de cómo las prácticas artísticas y la investigación pueden converger para desafiar y transformar narrativas hegemónicas, abogando por una educación más equitativa y reflexiva.
Bienestar Laboral en Centros de Acogimiento Residencial: Estrategias y Desafíos
Authors: Cantos-Egea Alison , Tierno-García Juana-María , Camarero-Figuerola Marta
Published: December 2024

En los centros de acogimiento residencial, se desempeña una labor fundamental en la atención y el apoyo a la infancia y la adolescencia protegidas. Las exigencias del trabajo y la responsabilidad inherentes pueden provocar malestar profesional y afectar a la satisfacción laboral y, por ende, a la calidad de la atención ofrecida. Este estudio analiza los factores psicosociales en profesionales de la educación social que trabajan en centros de acogimiento residencial y los aspectos condicionantes de su bienestar o malestar laboral. Se ha utilizado una metodología mixta basada en el cuestionario FPSICO 4.1 (INSST, 2022) aplicado a 164 profesionales y entrevistas semiestructuradas (n=17). Los hallazgos de la investigación apuntan a que la carga de trabajo, el liderazgo ineficaz y la falta de claridad en cuanto al desempeño del rol son condicionantes psicosociales de malestar laboral. Por el contrario, la relación y el apoyo social, la autonomía y un buen equilibrio de las demandas psicológicas son condicionantes del bienestar laboral. En consecuencia, se pone de manifiesto la necesidad de promover el bienestar profesional a través de mecanismos como la formación, la supervisión externa y las experiencias vitales positivas que permitan equilibrar las facetas personal y profesional.
МНОГОЛЕТНИЕ ИЗМЕНЕНИЯ МИНЕРАЛИЗАЦИИ И РАСХОДОВ ВОДЫ РЕК БАССЕЙНА ТЕРЕКА
Authors: И.И. КУЧМЕНОВА , Ф.А. АТАБИЕВА
Published: December 2024

Глобальное потепление климата приводит к усилению интенсивности таяния ледников, что влияет на расходы и минерализацию воды рек. Однако эти вопросы в отношении малых горных рек изучены мало. Исследовано современное состояние гидролого-гидрохимических характеристик рек северного склона центральной части Большого Кавказа (Терек, Малка, Баксан, Черек Балкарский, Черек Хуламский, Чегем, Нальчик, Куркужин). Рассмотрено изменение величины минерализации основных рек бассейна р. Терек. Изучена взаимосвязь минерализации и расходов воды. Реки с половодьем в теплую часть года отличаются тесной взаимосвязью между этими характеристиками (коэффициент детерминации 0,8-0,9), что позволяет определять сток рек по связи расхода с минерализацией. Реки Нальчик и Куркужин, не имеющие ледникового питания, обладают низкими значениями коэффициента детерминации - 0,4 и 0,2 соответственно. Проведен сравнительный анализ полученных нами результатов за 2021-2022 гг. с литературными данными о минерализации рек за более ранний период (1958-1959 гг.). Выявлено, что к настоящему времени минерализация рек в межень уменьшилась в среднем в 1,5 раза, в половодье - в 1,8 раза. Среднемноголетние расходы воды рек бассейна Терека в 2000-2022 гг. увеличились на 2-9 м3/с по сравнению с показателями 1925-2013 гг.

Global warming leads to an increase in the intensity of glacier melting, which affects the flow and mineralization of river water. However, these issues concerning small mountain rivers have been little studied. A study is made of the current state of the hydrological and hydrochemical characteristics of the rivers on the northern slope of the central part of the Greater Caucasus (Terek, Malka, Baksan, Cherek Balkarsky, Cherek Khulamsky, Chegem, Nalchik, and Kurkuzhin). We examine changes in the magnitude of mineralization of the main rivers within the Terek basin. The relationship between salinity and water discharge is studied. The rivers with floods during a warm period of the year are characterized by a close relationship between these characteristics (the coefficient of determination is 0.8-0.9), which makes it possible to determine river flow based on the relationship between flow and salinity. The Nalchik and Kurkuzhin Rivers, which are not fed by glaciers, are characterized by low values of the coefficient of determination: 0,4 and 0,2, respectively. A comparative analysis is made of the results we obtained for the years 2021 and 2022 with published data on the mineralization of the rivers for an earlier period (1958-1959). It was found that to date, the mineralization of rivers during low-water and high-water periods decreased on average by a factor of 1,5 and 1,8, respectively. Average long-term water flows of the rivers within the Terek basin in 2000-2022 increased by 2-9 m3/s when compared to the indicators of 1925-2013.

Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

Accurate triage at the time of emergency department (ED) presentation is critical for timely acuity assessment and anticipating resource requirements. Commonly, triage is conducted using the Emergency Severity Index (ESI); however, the accuracy of this approach for children in general EDs is uncertain. The purpose of this study was to quantify pediatric triage accuracy in a national sample of ED visits and evaluate whether presentation to a pediatric vs general ED is associated with mistriage.

METHODS

This was a cross-sectional study of the 2017–2021 National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey of pediatric (aged <18 years) ED visits with an ESI score from 3 to 5. The outcome was mistriage (resource utilization discordant with ESI prediction). Standardized ESI definitions were applied to count resources. We used multivariable logistic regression to evaluate whether presentation to a pediatric or general ED was associated with triage accuracy.

RESULTS

Of 149 million visits, mistriage occurred in 53.7% of ESI 3, 57.7% of ESI 4, and 22.9% of ESI 5 visits. Children in general EDs were more likely to be mistriaged than children in pediatric EDs (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 1.29; 95% CI, 1.11–1.50). Young age was associated with mistriage (aged <1 year vs aged 13–17: adjusted OR [95% CI], 2.42 [2.00–2.94], 1–5 years: 1.79 [1.53–2.10], 6–12 years: 1.38 [1.16–1.64]).

CONCLUSION

Mistriage was common among children with an initial ESI of 3 to 5 and more common among children visiting general EDs. Our findings highlight the need for improved resource prediction at the time of triage.

Leaves from a Turkish Notebook
Authors: Lddison Philip
Published: December 2024

The author is a highway engineer (possibly the only person in this profession who subscribes to PPC), whose hobby for some years has been collecting information about the local foodstuffs and their names in whatever place he finds himself. In Iraq he filled a small notebook; in Turkey a much bigger one; and now, in Thailand, he has constructed a list of almost 5600 Thai foodstuffs and food-related items (not in a notebook this time, but on a computer). He has kindly shown us all the material, which we have found of great interest; all the more so since it was put together with no exterior audience or special end in view but just as a reflection of a wide-ranging curiosity. We are glad to print here a small selection from the A-Z notes made in Turkey.

Ensuring Equity in Post-Divorce Economic Rights: A Critical Analysis of Judicial Sensitivity in the Religious Court of Padang Sidimpuan, Indonesia
Authors: Tarigan Azhari Akmal , Nasution Muhammad Syukri Albani , Hutagalung Syahrial Arif , Arrazy Syafran
Published: December 2024

Judges are pivotal in issuing impartial decisions that advocate for women, even when they function as primary providers. This study examines the judicial sensitivity towards women as primary breadwinners within families in Padang Lawas Utara. Employing a sociological approach, the research explores the realities among the indigenous people of Padang Lawas Utara. Subsequently, it conducts a comprehensive review of five decisions from the Religious Court of Padang Sidimpuan, falling under the jurisdiction of Padang Lawas Utara. The article reveals that the judges fail to consider the wife’s familial role, especially the role of the wife as the breadwinner. They concentrate solely on the male’s capabilities and rely on evidence of the husband’s income, which proves challenging to validate. Despite the husband’s ownership of assets, including land, houses, rice fields, vehicles, and others, the judge refrains from exercising the ex officio rights to provide the wife's māḍiyah (previous alimony). This underscores the inadequacy of the judge’s sensitivity in establishing the fulfillment and protection of women’s rights, particularly in the context of post-divorce scenarios.
Preserving Cultural Heritage in Marriage: Exploring Meanings of Kebon Odeq Tradition in the Sasak Community of Central Lombok, Indonesia
Authors: Haerozi Haerozi , Winengan Winengan , Fakhri Moh. , Sugitanata Arif , Karimullah Suud Sarim
Published: December 2024

The convergence of customary norms with Islamic legal norms gives rise to a new legal entity, including philosophical meanings. However, it is often seen as problematic and potentially conflicting with Islamic legal principles. This article seeks to explore the symbolic meanings and reasons for the persistence of the kebon odeq in the marriage customs of the Sasak community in Pengadang Village, Central Lombok. Utilizing an anthropological approach with symbolic anthropology theory popularized by Victor Turner and conducting in-depth interviews with five key informants, this article reveals that within the kebon odeq, the Sasak community in Pengadang assigns significant symbolic meanings to various elements. The components of kebon odeq enhance a sense of unity and cultural values as a form of respect for ancestral customs. Symbolically, it emphasizes the correlation of its symbolic meaning with cultural values, marriage, and social aspects of society. In Islamic law, this tradition holds symbolic meanings related to the values of Islamic marriage, especially commitment and maintaining sustainability. The intersection of philosophical meanings between custom and Islamic law is a significant motivation for the extent to which kebon odeq is preserved and developed by the Sasak Muslim community.
Husband’s ‘Iddah in Indonesian Islamic Law Context: Insights from the Fatwa Approach of the Indonesian Women’s Ulema Congress
Authors: Sam'un  , Hadi Mukhammad Nur
Published: December 2024

Islamic family law does not recognize ‘iddah (waiting period) for a husband. However, in Indonesia, he is culturally recommended to postpone remarrying until the completion of his wife's ‘iddah. This article discusses conceptualizing the husband's ‘iddah using the fatwa approach of the Indonesian Women’s Ulema Congress (KUPI). Employing a conceptual and philosophical approach, this article explores secondary data through KUPI's three main fatwa approaches: ma’ruf, mubadalah, and ultimate justice. This article demonstrates that the husband's 'iddah can be deemed obligatory. First, from the ma’ruf perspective, the husband's remarriage during the 'iddah period often harms her due to neglect in providing post-divorce financial support. Second, from a mubadalah standpoint, postponing remarriage after divorce should ideally apply to both husband and wife, allowing psychological reflection space for parties. Third, in the context of ulitimate justice, the husband's remarriage during the ‘iddah period violates the principles of true justice in fulfilling and protecting the rights of women and children. This is because women and children experience more significant and prolonged psychological and social discrimination than men. In this context, mandating ‘iddah for husbands through KUPI's fatwa approach is a pertinent recommendation in Indonesian Islamic legal reform.
Marriage Registration for All Religions at the Office of Religious Affairs: Between Debate and Promoting Moderation
Authors: Rifqi Muhammad Jazil
Published: December 2024

The Office of Religious Affairs (KUA), which operates in sub-districts across Indonesia, currently serves marriage registration only the Muslim community, while non-Muslims must register in the district-based Civil Registry Office. Recently, the Minister of Religious Affairs has proposed transforming KUA into a marriage registration center for all religions, which has provoked criticism. This study explores how the debate about inclusive marriage registration services runs in the media while examining the promotion of moderation in its services. Using a historical and sociological approach, it finds that, historically, during the Dutch East Indies period, non-Muslims registered marriages at the Burgerlijk Stand, while Muslims went to the Kantor Voor Inslanche Zaken/Shumubu. Expanding KUA's role to all religious marriages raises significant regulatory challenges and elicits mixed reactions. Critics argue this change may compromise the sacredness of religious marriage rites and alter KUA's traditional role. At the same time, supporters see it as a way to simplify marriage administration, especially in remote areas. The study suggests that the legacy of Dutch colonial legal practices (rechtstelsel) should be reassessed and adapted to address modern needs, aiming for a legal framework that ensures good governance through legal certainty, utility, and public interest alignment.

Thermal management is a very important factor in renewable energy devices that generate heat, such as fuel cells, solar cells, and lithium batteries. The cooling device of a system needs to be explored by implementing new technology, such as phase change materials (PCMs). PCMs can dissipate the heat passively due to their natural behavior of melting and solidification. In the present study, we synthesized, characterized, and developed numerical simulations (computational fluid dynamics) of paraffins as phase change materials (PCMs) with fillers of Al2O3, TiO2, and MgO (10 and 20 vol.%) in a rectangular enclosure. The addition of particles could improve the thermal conductivity to effectively remove the heat that PCMs absorbed by improving the melting rate. The characterizations of the PCMs included scanning electron microscopy (SEM), density, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermal conductivity, and specific heat. These properties obtained from the characterizations were used as input parameters in the numerical simulations. The two-dimensional numerical model has a geometry of 12 × 50 mm, where a heat flux of 1150 W/m2 was applied as a heat source on one side (left wall). The other three sides of the top, bottom, and right walls were perfectly insulated to minimize heat loss. The numerical model was validated using an experimental investigation (paraffin melting in a rectangular enclosure) to compare the melting behavior as a function of time. The PCMs characterizations confirmed that the addition of fillers (20 vol.%) to the PCMs as a matrix enhanced the thermal conductivity up to 0.473, 0.406, and 0.466 W/m K for the Al2O3, TiO2, and MgO fillers. However, the latent heat decreased to 80.10, 65.79, and 62.58 J/g for the Al2O3, TiO2, and MgO fillers, respectively. The results suggested that the simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental test results. Therefore, the model was further developed to analyze the effect of material fillers in the PCMs. According to the melting contours, PCMs with 20 vol.% of MgO additives have a faster melting rate and larger cooling area than other samples due to their higher thermal conductivity.

Amaç: İletişim becerisi sağlık personellerinin sahip olması gereken yetkinliklerin başında gelmektedir. Etkin bir iletişim becerisine sahip olsa da sağlık personelleri ‘’zor hasta’’ olarak tanımlanan hasta grubuyla sık karşılaşmaktadır. Bu çalışmada birinci basamak sağlık personellerinin zor hastaya bakış açıları ve iletişim becerilerinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmaktadır.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışma tanımlayıcı kesitsel tipte olup, Yozgat il genelinde sağlık hizmeti veren aile sağlığı merkezlerindeki sağlık personelinin katılımıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Katılımcılara sosyodemografik bilgileri ve zor hastaya bakış açılarını değerlendiren anket formu ve iletişim becerilerini değerlendirme ölçeği uygulanmıştır.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya 105 birinci basamak sağlık personeli katılmıştır. Katılımcıların %54,3 ‘ü (n=57) kadındı. % 35,2’sinin (n=37) mesleki deneyimi 6-10 yıl arasındaydı. Katılımcıların %80 ‘i (n =84) hastalarla iyi düzeyde iletişimi olduğunu düşünüyordu. Katılımcıların % 78,1 (n=82) iletişime kapalı hastayı zor hasta olarak tanımlamaktaydı. Katılımcıların iletişim becerileri değerlendirme ölçeği puan ortalaması 78,4±10,32 (min: 45- max:100) dır. Sağlık personelinin zor hastaya yaklaşımı değerlendirildiğinde; hastanın sorununu anlamaya çalışanların (p=0,026) ve iletişimde kontrolcü davranmayanların (p=0,027) iletişim becerilerini değerlendirme ölçeği ortalama puanı daha yüksek olup istatistiki olarak anlamlıdır.
Sonuç: Birinci basamakta çalışan sağlık personellerinin iletişim becerileri yüksek düzeyde bulunmuştur. Zor hastaya yaklaşımda hastaya empatik davranarak, sorunu anlamaya çalışan sağlık çalışanlarının iletişim becerileri daha yüksek düzeydedir. İletişim becerileri zayıf olan birinci basamak sağlık personellerinin iletişim becerilerini geliştirmesi aile hekimliği hizmetlerinin süreklilik göstermesi ve hasta hekim arasında güvene dayalı ilişkinin kurulması gerekliliği nedeniyle de önemlidir.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Zor hasta; İletişim; Aile hekimi; Aile sağlığı çalışanı

Authors: Bak Gökhan
Published: December 2024

Dergi hem geleneksel hem de yeni medya türleri arasında yer alan, yazılı olarak basıldığı gibi dijital ortamlarda da okuyucularıyla buluşan kitle iletişim aracıdır. Temel olarak gazetelerle aynı işleve sahip olan dergilerin yayıncılığı, teknolojinin ilerlemesiyle birlikte dijitalleşme yoluna girse de günümüzde önemini halen korumaktadır. Bu araştırma dergicilik konulu akademik çalışmaların bibliyometrik profilini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırma tarama modelinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Amaçlı örnekleme yöntemiyle WoS veri tabanı seçilmiştir. WoS veri tabanında “topic” bölümüne “magazine publishing” yazılarak tarama yapılmıştır. 98 akademik çalışmaya erişim sağlanmıştır. Birçok parametre açısından elde edilen veriler incelenmiş, içerik analizi ve bibliyometrik analize tabi tutulmuştur. İlk çalışma 1980 yılında makale türünde ve en güncel çalışma ise 2024 yılında makale türünde ele alınmıştır. En fazla çalışma 2014 yılında yazılmıştır. 2005 yılından itibaren düzenli olarak akademik çalışmaların yazıldığı görülmüştür. En fazla atıf alan eser 2008 yılında yazılmış ve 110 atıf almıştır. Çalışmalar yoğunlukla makale türünde ve SSCI indeksinde kaleme alınmıştır. WoS kategorilerine göre en fazla iletişim kategorisinde ele alınan çalışmalar çok büyük oranda İngilizce yazılmıştır. En verimli ülke olarak Amerika yer almıştır. Bu sıralamayı İngiltere, Finlandiya, Avustralya, Yeni Zelanda ve Türkiye takip etmiştir. Türkiye’den 4 çalışmanın yazıldığı görülmüştür. Türkçe kaleme alınan tek bir çalışma olduğu ve 2018 yılında yazıldığı belirlenmiştir. Kurumların, ülkelerin ve de yazarların ortak yazarlık analizleri yapılmıştır. Anahtar kelimelerin birlikte bulunma sıklığına bakıldığında; bağlantı gücü en yüksek anahtar kelimelerin “magazines” ile “magazine publishing” olduğu görülmüştür. Genel olarak ele alındığında, dergicilik konusunda birçok ülke ortak çalışma yapsa da bu konuda ilk çalışmaya çok geç başlandığı, daha fazla çalışma yapılarak konunun önemine vurgu yapılması gerektiği sonucuna varılmıştır.
FENOMENOLOJİK BİR FARK OLARAK DÜNYA SORUSU
Authors: Esendemir Mehmet
Published: December 2024

Fenomenolojik düşüncenin dünya kavrayışı felsefe tarihinin klasik dünya anlayışından farklıdır. Husserl’den sonra gelen fenomenologlar fenomenolojik bir dünya anlayışına önem vermişlerdir. Bu fenomenologlardan biri olan Merleau-Ponty için de dünya önemli bir kavramdır. Dünyaya dair hatalı ve eksik kavrayışlardan kurtulmak onu asli anlamıyla anlamak önemlidir. Bu nedenle dünyayı fenomenolojik bir tema haline getirmek gerekmektedir. Ancak bu sayede dünyanın kökensel anlamı açığa çıkarılabilir. Bu bağlamda çalışmamız Merleau-Ponty’nin fenomenolojik bir fark olarak temalaştırdığı haliyle dünya kavrayışını irdelemektedir. Ona göre mevcut felsefi düşünce için dünya bir problem haline gelmiştir. Bu nedenle dünya sorusunun yeniden sorulması gerekmektir. Bu soru fenomenolojik bir algı felsefesi bağlamında sorulabilir. Böyle bir algı felsefesi için dünya ile olan kökensel ilişkimizi açığa çıkarmak, yeni yöntem ve kavramlar elde etmek gerekmektedir. Bu imkanı sağlayacak şey öncelikle Husserl’in yaşam dünyası kavramıdır. Bu kavram aracılığıyla dünya sorusu onu algılama biçimimize dair bir soru haline dönüşür. Yeni dünya sorusu dünyayı fenomenolojik bir tema haline getirmektedir. Böylelikle dünya sorusu iki fenomenolojik hamleyi gerçekleştirmeyi gerektirmektedir. İlk olarak dünya ile ilişkimizi algı temelli bir ilişki haline getirmektir. İkinci olarak da fenomenolojik betimlemelerin yapılabilmesi için onu fenomenolojik bir tema olarak ortaya koymaktır. Bu iki hamle ile dünya Merleau-Ponty’nin talep ettiği şekliyle görmeyi yeniden öğrenmeye açık hale gelmektedir.

Background: Peer assisted learning (PAL), a dynamic teaching tool, fosters collaborative learning, knowledge acquisition, and skills development in medical education. Neuroanatomy is a critical and complex part of medical curriculum which students need to understand during initial period of anatomy learning. With the help of PAL, the struggle faced by first phase medical learners to complex learning patterns is addressed. The study aims to quantitatively define PAL’s outcomes by comparison of academic scores and evaluate learner’s perception towards PAL.
Material and Methods: The study was conducted in UNS Autonomous State Medical College, Jaunpur in a batch of 99 first phase medical learners (year 2022-23). Teaching material, teaching learning methods and assessment material were created from select topics of neuroanatomy. PAL session was conducted for each (5) topic with 10 tutees in each session. After every session post-test analysis was done for both tutees and tutors, followed by a survey questionnaire assessing the benefits of PAL.
Results: The results show a significant increase in performance metrics for learners after the PAL session, though the results were non-significant for tutors. The survey report suggests benefits from PAL in form of active engagement, improved problem-solving skills and enhanced critical thinking.
Conclusion: The study underscores PAL as a valuable and effective teaching tool in medical education that can be used at the very outset of medical learning. It works as a supportive aid to low performers who face challenge in handling the complex parts of a curriculum.

Creative dynamism and religious syncretism in Igbo oral funeral songs
Authors: Nwosu Onyebuchi
Published: December 2024

Igbo oral funeral songs are dynamic and resilient oral forms. Applying the tenets of an infracultural model of ethnopoetics to study Igbo oral funeral songs collected during fieldwork, in this article, I examine the emerging trend in most Igbo communities of the co-existence, modification, and adaptation of Christian/western ideals into the mainstream repertoire of Igbo oral funeral songs. I therefore examine a situation where Igbo oral performers are drawing inspiration from western religious, linguistic, and cultural philosophies and applying them to the trajectory of Igbo oral funeral poetry. Observing that the reason for this is to accord the deceased a befitting funeral rite, I underscore the resilience of Igbo oral funeral poetry which acculturates western cultural elements into its oral funeral performances which are deployed to help reduce the pain of bereavement and assist the dead to successfully find their way as they journey to join their ancestors.
Os Pêsames no Online. Etnografia Aplicada ao Discurso dos Utilizadores no Facebook de Funerárias Portuguesas
Authors: Caldeira Pais Pedro Manuel Pinto , Neto Pedro Pereira
Published: December 2024

Este artigo debruça-se sobre o discurso de condolências por parte de utilizadores em obituários publicados por funerárias locais portuguesas no Facebook. Com o objetivo de compreender o discurso de luto e identificar dinâmicas comunitárias online, que dialogam com a comunidade física em que a funerária local se insere, optou-se por uma metodologia que alia princípios da análise crítica do discurso e da etnografia. Desta análise resultaram diversas considerações: revelaram-se espaços de elevada informalidade, visível ao nível da linguagem através da disseminação de erros gramaticais, pela utilização de elementos pictográficos (e.g., emojis), ou pela recorrência de utilizadores que produzem idênticos comentários nas publicações, independentemente de quem morre; motivaram contrastes discursivos, desde interações que poderão ser consideradas despropositadas até comentários que partilham experiências de luto; são espaços com potencial para lembrar, caracterizar e imaginar os mortos, através de relatos de histórias que o utilizador experienciou com a pessoa. É também argumentado que esta imensa diversidade é incentivada pela eficácia do Facebook em se integrar no quotidiano das pessoas e pelo seu caráter mediado que, incentivado pelo que parece ser uma carência de literacia emocional em contexto digital, parece desresponsabilizar certos utilizadores no discurso produzido.
