Authors: Chen Chunlan , Huang Jian
Published: July 2024

In recent years, with the continuous development of the tourism industry, changing the education model has become a fundamental problem that must be solved to cultivate the quality of professional talents, and the OBE education model has become the trend of higher education development. In this paper, the program design of tourism management mode based on OBE education is carried out in two aspects of personality characteristics cognition and personality learning resources, then constructs the learner characteristics model from several aspects of style similarity, behavioral similarity, learner influence relationship, and proposes the personality recommendation method based on deep learning after the selected experimental objects are experimental class and control class respectively, and through the analysis of the cognitive level of the students, learning style, interaction behavior characteristics were analyzed to verify the validity of the learning characteristic model and program design constructed in this paper. After the experiment, the average post-test score of the experimental group was 84.91, which is higher than the average post-test score of the C1 group, which is 83.63, indicating that the OBE education model based on the deep learning recommendation can improve the student’s learning performance.
Publication behaviour and (dis)qualification of chief editors in Turkish national Social Sciences journals
Authors: Tutuncu Lokman
Published: July 2024

Purpose

This study investigated the publication behaviour of 573 chief editors managing 432 Social Sciences journals in Turkey. Direct inquiries into editorial qualifications are rare, and this research aims to shed light on editors’ scientific leadership capabilities.

Design/methodology/approach

This study contrasts insider publication behaviour in national journals with international articles in journals indexed by the Web of Science (WOS) and Scopus. It argues that editors demonstrating a consistent ability to publish in competitive WOS and Scopus indexed journals signal high qualifications, while editors with persistent insider behaviour and strong local orientation signal low qualification. Scientific leadership capability is measured by first-authored publications. Correlation and various regression tests are conducted to identify significant determinants of publication behaviour.

Findings

International publications are rare and concentrated on a few individuals, while insider publications are endemic and constitute nearly 40% of all national articles. Editors publish 3.2 insider papers and 8.1 national papers for every SSCI article. 62% (58%) of the editors have no SSCI (Scopus) article, 53% (63%) do not have a single lead-authored WOS (Scopus) article, and 89% publish at least one insider paper. Only a minority consistently publish in international journals; a fifth of the editors have three or more SSCI publications, and a quarter have three or more Scopus articles. Editors with foreign Ph.D. degrees are the most qualified and internationally oriented, whereas non-mobile editors are the most underqualified and underperform other editors by every measure. Illustrating the overall lack of qualification, nearly half of the professor editors and the majority of the WOS and Scopus indexed journal editors have no record of SSCI or Scopus publications.

Research limitations

This research relies on local settings that encourage national publications at the expense of international journals. Findings should be evaluated in light of this setting and bearing in mind that narrow localities are more prone to peer favouritism.

Practical implications

Incompetent and nepotistic editors pose an imminent threat to Turkish national literature. A lasting solution would likely include the dismissal and replacement of unqualified editors, as well as delisting and closure of dozens of journals that operate in questionable ways and serve little scientific purpose.

Originality/value

To my knowledge, this is the first study to document the publication behaviour of national journal chief editors.
Comparison of disposal strategies in linear reverse logistics models
Authors: Dobos Imre
Published: July 2024

In this paper we investigate disposal activities in a reverse logistics models with linear costs structure. The two models have different disposal strategy. The first model analyzes a continuous disposal strategy, i.e. disposal can happen in every time in the planning horizon. This type of models was investigated in earlier works. The second possible disposal strategy assumes that disposal is only at the end of the planning horizon. After characterization of the optimal strategies of the two models we compare the costs and the trajectories of the optimal paths. The result of the paper is that the relevant costs are higher in case of disposal at the end of the planning horizon. It is cost efficient to dispose off the not necessary products inside of the planning horizon.
FINDING THE OPTIMAL REINFORCEMENT FOR VERY DEEP BORED PILE FOUNDATION
Authors: Sandjaja Sentosa Gregorius , Prihatiningsih Aniek , Rohan Kilian , Putra Ricky
Published: July 2024

The foundation is the most important part of any structure in the construction process. A failure in the foundation can cause the entire structure to fail if cannot withstand the forces or weight of the structure above. The foundation is required to bear the external loads or weight of the structure, even though the upper structure may be strong and sturdy. Bored pile foundation is the most commonly used foundation type for building projects or multi-story structures. The distribution of forces on pile foundations is inversely proportional to its depth, and the part of the pile close to the forces will bear a greater load than the deeper part of the pile. This consideration makes the design of reinforcement for pile foundations variable according to the distribution of forces acting on the pile according to its depth. This study analyzes the reinforcement requirements for a pile foundation using laboratory-calculated soil parameters and data specific to the Jakarta area. The first step is to determine the soil parameters, then calculate the force diagram using the Matlock and Reese method, and finally, determine the reinforcement requirements based on the force diagram obtained. After that, the calculated reinforcement needs to be adjusted according to the applicable requirements for a pile with a length of 65 meters and a diameter of 1800 mm. The required reinforcement is D13-75 for transverse reinforcement, 20D32, 16D29, and 8D32 for longitudinal reinforcement according to their depth.

Additionally, learning materials will be developed utilising computational chemical calculations and visualisation of the results to create learning media based on the National Education Standards Agency (BSNP) requirements. This kind of study uses the ADDIE development model and is referred to as development research. There are five steps in the current ADDIE model: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The entire student body of one of the senior high schools in Padangsidempuan City, North Sumatera, Indonesia, served as the study's population. The participants in this research were senior high school students from Padangsidempuan City, North Sumatera, Indonesia. The use of a purposive sampling technique yields grade X as the research sample. An inquiry form derived from the National Education Standards Agency was used as the research tool. Utilising a significance level of 5%, the data analysis was conducted using the SPSS 22 for Windows software. The investigation's findings demonstrate the need for educational materials to help pupils struggling with learning. Based on 95% validation findings, the learning materials for both electrolyte and non-electrolyte solutions visualise the outcomes of computational chemical calculations.
Analysis of Securities Offering Regulations on Securities Crowdfunding Services Maslahah Approach
Authors: Ulum Kefi Miftachul
Published: July 2024

The acceleration of the Digital Era began with the spread of the COVID-19 virus, which caused the national economy to grow 2.5% in 2020, or down 5% from 2019. The lockdown policy was a factor in the slow turnaround of the economy. Another impact is digitalization in all aspects, including the financing sector and the formation of rules to regulate financing. Financial technology is an instrument that is experiencing accelerated growth because it is based on the internet of things (IOT). With the birth of the concept of crowdfunding securities, which has become an alternative funding source for business actors such as MSMEs, Initially, MSME funding activities in the crowdfunding cycle were limited to equity based on POJK 37 of 2018, then the regulation developed into POJK 57 of 2020 and became POJK 16 of 2021. These regulatory changes changed the funding mechanism, which was initially equity-based and then developed to be based on sukuk and debt securities. These regulatory changes became the focus of research after examining the impact of these regulations on the funding of MSMEs and legal business entities in Indonesia. Mas}lah}ah theory became the knife in analyzing these regulations using normative legal research methodology as the research method and descriptive analysis as the analytical method. The use of this theory is based on the impact of existing regulatory developments, which have reached funding worth $1 trillion and contain 481 business units, with funding sources coming from 160,368 investors. This funding achievement is a challenge to carry out comprehensive supervision regarding the distribution and use of capital by service-provider companies and the Financial Services Authority by paying attention to the principles of GCG, CSR, and open disclosure to guarantee and protect the rights of parties participating in related funding.

Authors: Castillo Esparza Ma. Mónica Gloria Clara , Maldonado Guzmán Gonzalo , Montejano García Salomón , Mejía Trejo Juan
Published: July 2024

En respuesta a la responsabilidad creciente para proteger y cuidar el medio ambiente, el mundo empresarial ha desarrollado estrategias e innovaciones que mitigan los efectos adversos de sus actividades. La Estrategia de Negocios Sustentable (ENS) surge como una necesidad imperiosa para contrarrestar tales efectos, en colaboración con la ecoinnovación para lograr objetivos ambientales. Esta investigación empírica y transversal afirma que la ENS mantiene relaciones significativas sobre los tipos de ecoinnovación abarcando actividades en productos, procesos y en la organización, contribuyendo al logro del rendimiento ambiental dentro de la industria manufacturera Mexicana. Se administró una encuesta a 300 gerentes del sector manufacturero de escala tipo Likert. Los datos fueron analizados por medio de ecuaciones estructurales y el programa SMART PLS-SEM. Los resultados revelan un impacto importante de la ENS sobre ecoinnovaciones en productos, procesos, y en la organización, también en el rendimiento ambiental. Por otro lado, las ecoinnovaciones en procesos permiten obtener rendimiento ambiental pero no así las ecoinnovaciones en productos y en la organización. Además, se encontró que la ecoinnovación en procesos media la relación entre la ENS y el rendimiento ambiental. Este estudio enfatiza el rol esencial de la ENS como facilitador de las actividades de ecoinnovación en la industria manufacturera. Además, al implementar una ENS se contribuye a la protección y cuidado del medio ambiente. Por lo tanto, se alienta a los tomadores de decisiones dentro de las empresas y organismos gubernamentales a apoyar y promover la adopción de la ENS y de la ecoinnovación en la industria.

Authors: Jiang Shangrong , Han Tingtin , Zhang Zhijie , Wen Mingming , Li Yongping
Published: July 2024

Background:Intermittent theta-burst stimulation and repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation can improve motor function in poststroke patients, but the therapeutic effect of this combination remains unclear.
Objective:To determine the effects of central intermittent theta-burst stimulation and repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation on upper limb function.
Methods:Fifty-six subacute stroke patients were randomly assigned to three groups: the CMS (n = 18), peripheral magnetic stimulation (PMS) (n = 19) and CPS (n = 19) groups. The CMS group received intermittent theta-burst stimulation and peripheral false stimulation, while the PMS group received repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation and central false stimulation once a day for five days a week over four weeks. The CPS group received intermittent theta-burst stimulation and repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation simultaneously once daily for four weeks. The Fugl-Meyer Assessment, Action Research Arm Test, Modified Barthel Index and Modified Ashworth Scale evaluated outcomes before and after four weeks of treatment.
Results:The motor function scores of all groups were significantly increased after treatment compared with before treatment, while the Modified Ashworth Scale score showed no significant change. There was a significant difference in the motor function score of the CPS group compared with that of the CMS and PMS groups, but there was no significant improvement in the Modified Ashworth Scale score.
Conclusions:Combining the two treatment methods can improve patients' motor function and daily living abilities but cannot improve muscle tone.

Se destaca la necesidad de considerar el paisaje como un entorno natural modificado por la actividad humana, abogando por una perspectiva que fomente la interdisciplinariedad y la apreciación de la diversidad cultural y biológica en los paisajes, desde una óptica decolonial y ecologista. Concluimos que abordar esta categoría de análisis es crear un puente para la interdisciplina, la senda trazada por científicos y artistas como Alexander von Humboldt, Vidal de la Blache o Murray Schafer.
Evaluating the safety and aesthetic of a city park (Case study: Saee Park in Tehran)
Authors: Sohankar Zeinab
Published: July 2024

Proximity to green spaces, waterside, and various cultural or recreational objects increase the quality of life. Nevertheless, the neighborhood with the urban park also has adverse effects on the quality of life. The purpose of this research is to investigate the state of aesthetics and safety in urban parks. Aesthetic service is considered as cultural services and safety service is considered as regulatory services in the park. District 6 of Tehran was selected as a case study. The aesthetic model was used to evaluate the aesthetic quality of Saee Park and the Fuzzy DEMATEL model was used to evaluate the safety of the park. The results of the aesthetic quality assessment of this research indicate that due to the presence of Saee Park in the northeast of this region, the aesthetic quality of this region is maximum in this part and the aesthetic quality of the southwest part of this region is minimum. The results of the safety evaluation in the park also show that the guards are the most influential and the paths through the parks are the most affectability. The management of the park has the most interaction with other factors of the safety system in the park. Finally, it is concluded that the management of the park is suitable for maintaining the safety of the citizens, and in combination with other factors affecting the safety of the park, it can provide a safe environment for the citizens.

Authors: Ramírez Ríos Luisa Fernanda , Becerra Moreno Dorance , Ortega Contreras Judith Yamile
Published: July 2024

The study evaluates the generation and recovery capacity of methane at the Villavicencio Landfill in Colombia, using the LandGEM model. It shows a significant increase in methane generation, rising from about 1.5 million cubic meters in 2010 to over 8.5 million in 2020, indicating a growing urgency to implement effective mitigation measures. It was estimated that by the year 2042, the electrical energy production from methane could be 248.067 kW/day, capable of supplying about 43.705 homes monthly. Additionally, thermal energy generation would be 468.572 kWh/day, useful for industrial processes. Management scenarios were proposed, where, for example, operational optimization could increase electric production to 342.333 kW/day, benefiting more than 60.000 homes monthly. The conclusions highlight the direct correlation between the amount of waste and methane generation, and the significant potential for converting these emissions into energy, pointing towards regional energy self-sufficiency and sustainability. Methane recovery represents a valuable alternative to the dependence on fossil fuels and for the development of a circular economy.

El arte como juego: espacio, movimiento y medio. Herramientas hermenéuticas para el estudio de la ontología de la obra de arte
Authors: Moreno Caro Omar Camilo
Published: July 2024

La hermenéutica filosófica propone varias herramientas conceptuales útiles para la investigación, la crítica y el disfrute de las obras de arte. No obstante, existe una clara escasez de artículos de nivel intermedio que expliquen estos conceptos en el horizonte de su utilidad. Este artículo se enfoca en la noción de juego en la hermenéutica filosófica y realiza dos tareas: en primer lugar, interpreta la estética hermenéutica como respuesta a las necesidades teóricas y a los problemas filosóficos de su época. En segundo lugar, destaca la relevancia del juego (Spiel) como estrategia fenomenológica para explicar la ontología de la obra de arte. Se argumenta que esta reinterpretación de la ontología de la obra de arte constituye una innovación filosófica que permite reconocer aspectos de la obra de arte que quedaban ocultos en otros abordajes estéticos del momento y que todavía son pertinentes de cara a las nuevas comprensiones de la obra de arte en la medida en que permiten reinterpretar el problema de la autonomía estética.
De la inutilidad
Authors: Rodríguez Navarro Luis Alberto
Published: July 2024

A la luz del Archivo tal como se entiende en la Arqueología del saber, el artículo analiza cómo la filosofía positivista de Comte, hacia finales de siglo xix, se vio cuestionada por su aparente intento de “mecanizar” (a la manera de Newton) las ciencias humanas, centrándose en la investigación del cómo en lugar del qué epistémico. En este sentido, tanto la ‘patafísica de Jarry como la “ficción filosófica” de Macedonio (y en realidad, la mayor parte de su trabajo literario) cuestionan dicha epistemología bajo la sospecha de que la ciencia desplaza la búsqueda del conocimiento en pos de fines utilitarios.

Authors: Pérez-Baleón Fabiola
Published: July 2024

Este artículo se propone un doble objetivo, uno técnico y otro académico: 1) Establecer ciertos elementos para acceder y sistematizar estadísticamente la información de los expedientes socio-médicos recabada por el departamento de Trabajo Social hospitalario. 2) Explorar información obtenida de los expedientes socio-médicos de mujeres con embarazos antes de los 15 años, atendidas durante 2017 en tres nosocomios mexicanos, a fin de describir su perfil socioeconómico, educativo y de salud.
Las mujeres atendidas realizaron su transición a la vida adulta en el ámbito sexual y reproductivo antes de los 15 años. La mayoría tenía secundaria incompleta, vivía en unión libre o en soltería, se dedicaba al hogar y había tenido al menos cinco consultas prenatales. El 94% cursaba su primer embarazo; era alto el porcentaje que había resuelto sus gestas por medio de partos vaginales; pocas habían tenido cesáreas o abortos. Al finalizar su embarazo, un alto porcentaje usaba anticoncepción posparto. Es importante que la o el trabajador social sea metódico al momento del llenado del expediente socio-médico y sistematice la información para proponer acciones para prevenir futuras gestas a estas edades. Los hospitales deben reportar casos de abuso sexual en adolescentes embarazadas.

Published: July 2024

Este artículo es un estudio documental que analiza la producción científica sobre el concepto de convivencia mediante los descriptores “Convivencia” AND “Colombia”, en español y “coexistence” AND “Colombia” en inglés, seleccionando el área de psicología. Se accedió a tres bases de datos: Web of Science, Redalyc, EBSCO host, seleccionando 32 documentos publicados entre 2017 al 2023, del cual 27 fueron artículos científicos, 3 artículos de reflexión y 2 capítulos de libro, con mayor producción científica en los departamentos de Cundinamarca, Valle y Antioquia. Las tendencias conceptuales emergentes sobre la convivencia se sintetizan en tres premisas: i). El concepto de convivencia es una forma de interacción dinamizadora desde las experiencias vividas con otros mediante vínculos afectivos, sociales, comunitarios y cotidianos en diferentes contextos y escenarios, en donde surgen diferentes tipologías. Se asocia a los procesos de socialización, interacción social, intersubjetividad, conflictos y construcción de paz. ii). Conceptualizar la convivencia implica entender la subjetividad e intersubjetividad presente en los discursos, prácticas y medios sociales desplegada por diversos actores (personales, institucionales, comunitarios) en su cotidianidad a favor de su construcción; y iii). Para su comprensión conceptual prevalecen diversas perspectivas teóricas: las subjetivas, las psicosociales, las sociales, las de conflictos, las de paz y las decoloniales, lo cual orientan diversas investigaciones.

Distribución espacial de las poblaciones del picudo del agave Scyphophorus acupunctatus (Coleoptera: Dryophthoridae) en el Estado de México, México
Authors: González Dávila Melisa , Ramírez Dávila José Francisco , Acosta Guadarrama Agustín David , Figueroa Figueroa Dulce Karen
Published: July 2024

Los agaves son uno de los grupos vegetales más representativos de México. Su importancia radica por su valor ecológico, cultural y económico. Pese a esto, enfrenta limitaciones, como la afectación por las plagas, donde una de las más importantes es el picudo del agave Scyphohphorus acupunctatus Gyllenhal (Coleoptera: Dryophthoridae). Esta plaga ha adquirido su importancia debido a que barrena las pencas hasta el interior de la planta, provocando lesiones que posteriormente son infectadas por hongos y/o bacterias hasta provocar la muerte de la planta. El objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar la distribución espacial de las poblaciones del picudo del agave en dos localidades del municipio de Malinalco a través del análisis espacial, mediante índice de distancia SADIE. Los resultados mostraron que los índices de Ia y Ja de las poblaciones de picudo del agave presentan valores mayores a 1 lo que indica una distribución espacial tipo agregada en las dos parcelas donde se llevó a cabo el estudio. También se determinó la estabilidad espacial y temporal a corto plazo con el índice Im. Se generaron los mapas de densidad para cada muestreo en las dos parcelas; con los mapas que fueron elaborados se calculó la superficie infestada en cada parcela, los resultados nos muestran la distribución que presenta la plaga y se proponen las alternativas para un manejo sustentable de esta plaga.
La función social de los museos como campo de acción para el diseño. Una revisión de literatura de enfoques participativos para el acercamiento a comunidades
Authors: Alarcon Aranguren Lorena Maria ,   Universidad de Caldas - Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica (Colombia), Grisales Vargas Adolfo León ,   Universidad de Caldas (Colombia)
Published: July 2024

This article presents a systematic literature review to identify trends towards opening up the social function of museums to participatory processes, as a framework of opportunity for design. We structure the literature review in three stages: identifying and analysing the most relevant literature, establishing the main approaches of participation mediated by design in museography processes from a social perspective, and present trends for future research. As a result, we present a characterization of the relationship between design and museum in social processes and an approach to the concepts of community and participation. Likewise, we analyse the trends that visibilise the potential of design to promote collaboration and dialogue processes between institutional and community voices due to identity processes. Finally, we identify the contribution that design has made through reflection, representation and construction of new narratives that link cultural heritage with the lived reality of the communities from processes based on plurality, collective construction, and power relations.
Ruralidades, património cultural, associativismo e turismo nos tempos das humanidades digitais
Authors: Gómez-Ullate García de León Martín ,   Universidad de Extremadura (España), Gonçalves Gerardo Vidal ,   Universidade de Evora (Portugal)
Published: July 2024

The chronicle "Ruralities, Cultural Heritage, Associativism and Tourism in the Times of Digital Humanities" addresses the pertinence of generalised access to historical legacy, highlighting the importance of cultural heritage, associativism and tourism in rural contexts in the digital age. The text questions who is interested in heritage, such as medieval chapels or castles, and argues that although history offers deep understanding of the past, its appreciation is not always understood by today's society. Exploring the impact of digitalisation, virtual reality and immersive experiences, we highlight a project in Sabrosa, Portugal, which uses new technologies to promote the Medieval Necropolis of Touças. This project includes theatrical events, digitisation of archaeological artefacts and the creation of virtual guides, with the aim of involving local communities and visitors. In addition, the chronicle describes the Learning Villages International Network (LVIN #C) initiative, funded by the European Commission, which seeks to promote education for culture, heritage and tourism in rural areas. The text highlights the interaction between digital humanities, sustainability, experiential tourism and cross-border cooperation, emphasising the importance of educational and cultural initiatives for rural communities.
Modeling the effect of plastic oil obtained from XLPE cable waste on diesel engine performance and emission parameters with the response surface method
Authors: Şen Sedat , Bahattin Çelik Mustafa
Published: July 2024

The world’s expanding population requires alternative energy sources to meet its energy needs. One such alternative is the efficient recovery of plastic waste through pyrolysis. The liquid produced from waste plastics via pyrolysis is a valuable commodity that may serve as fuel substituted for internal combustion engines. In this study, waste plastic oil (WPO) and diesel fuel (D100) blends (10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50% by volume) obtained by pyrolysis of waste XLPE cables were experimentally investigated and analyzed using response surface methodology (RSM) to determine their effects on the combustion parameters of a four-stroke, single cylinder diesel engine at different engine loads (750, 1500, 2250, 3000, 3750, and 4500 W). A response surface model was constructed using a two-factor central composite complete design and analysis of variance based on the experimental results obtained. The model determined the optimum values of WPO ratio and engine load that correspond to one of the finest brake thermal efficiency (BTE), brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC), hydrocarbon (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and smoke emission levels. The study’s optimization findings indicated that the optimal WPO ratio is 19.6%, and the optimal engine load is 2600 W. The BTE, BSFC, CO, HC, NOx, and smoke were found to be 22.3%, 332.3 g/kWh, 0.033%, 31.5 ppm, 397.9 ppm, and 1.63%, respectively, at the optimal WPO ratio and engine load. The R2 (correlation coefficient) values for BTE, BSFC, CO, HC, NOx, and smoke emissions were determined to be 99.95%, 97.76%, 98.10%, 99.74%, 99.74%, 99.79%, and 95.67%, respectively. The mean error rates, ranging from 0.64% to 4.27%, were deemed satisfactory when comparing the replies to the experimental data. The findings of this study demonstrated that the response surface method is a very efficient approach for forecasting and enhancing a diesel engine’s performance and emission characteristics by using waste plastic oil.

Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin) and Practices of Solid Waste Management in Rural Sikkim
Authors: `Indira Khangembam
Published: July 2024

Generation of waste and disposal in rural areas has not been the prime focus for deliberation, unlike the urban areas where it is regarded as a crucial issue that demands immediate attention and solution. Until recently, managing solid waste was not considered an issue in rural areas of Sikkim. However, with the proliferation of solid waste in recent years due to increasing population, the growth of tourism industry and changing consumption patterns have prompted the government of Sikkim to decentralise the responsibility of managing solid waste in compliance with the guidelines of Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin). Based on primary data collected from the two Gram Panchayats, namely Mellidara Paiyong and Lungchok Kamarey in South Sikkim district, the paper attempts to comprehend the various types of waste generated, and critically evaluate the common conventional methods and practices adopted by the villagers for disposal of their household waste. Simultaneously, it also attempts to assess various policies and strategies taken up by the local self-government in managing the solid waste generated from households.
Impact of Kanyashree and Sabooj Sathi Schemes on the Development of Rural Areas in Southern Part of West Bengal, Eastern India
Authors: Adhikary Balai , Mukherjee Sandipa , Makal Sumi
Published: July 2024

Kanyashree and Sabooj Sathi schemes are two noteworthy welfare schemes sponsored by the West Bengal government to develop the rural areas in the state. Kanyashree scheme was launched to check the early marriage of girls whereas the Sabooj Sathi scheme was aimed at empowering the students among the weaker sections of society. The present paper attempts to study the scenario of Kanyashree and Sabooj Sathi schemes, and their role in the development of rural areas in the southern parts of West Bengal in eastern India. The entire work is based on primary data and samples have been selected from three districts, i.e. Purba Medinipur, Paschim Medinipur, and Howrah. Ten sample villages were selected among the three districts and 150 samples were chosen through the purposive sampling method. Average and percentage methods and applied cartographic techniques have been considered for analysis and drawing inferences. Kanyashree remarkably controls the early marriage of girls, reduces the different social barriers that promote the marriage of teenage girls, and broadens the scope of their education. The funds generated for Kanyashree scheme are directly transferred to the beneficiaries’ accounts to meet their private coaching fees, and purchase of educational equipment. Bicycles are provided to the beneficiaries of the Sabooj Sathi scheme to make commuting to school, private coaching centres and playgrounds easy. Family members of the beneficiaries are also using bicycles to reach various places, thereby availing the scope of using it for non-academic purposes associated with numerous important domestic matters. The study found that both the schemes, i.e. Kanyashree and Sabooj Sathi contribute to empowering girl students in the study area.
Prospects and Challenges of Farming in Delhi: Evidences from the Field
Authors: Sharma Nivedita , Goyal Ankita
Published: July 2024

The farmers in Delhi are invisible and vulnerable due to the ever-increasing urban character of the city and multifarious challenges in agriculture. The paper investigates the conditions of farming in Delhi with a primary survey of 300 farmers in two districts. The findings indicate that wheat and paddy are the main crops cultivated but only half of the sampled farmers cultivate in both the agricultural seasons. The farmers lack motivation to continue with farming due to rising costs, unremunerative prices, lack of procurement at MSP and lack of policy support in the form of requisite infrastructure and subsidies.

Background. The most common type of pathological hair loss in women is androgenetic alopecia (AGA), arises due to hormonal and micronutrient imbalances. During the COVID-19 epidemic, there has been an increase in the number of female patients with alopecia as a complication, with some individuals experiencing alopecia the sole indication of asymptomatic COVID-19.
Aims. The search for objective criteria for the differential diagnosis of AGA and post-COVID alopecia in women based on trichological and laboratory markers.
Methods. The including criteria for AGA were elevated dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels, for the post-COVID alopecia — a diagnosis of COVID-19 using RT-PCR and the presence of alopecia symptoms for both conditions. Quantitative characteristics of hairs were analyzed based on trichogram and phototrichogram. Levels of DHT, vitamins B9, B12, D, E, Ca, Fe, Mg, Se, Cu, and Zn were evaluated in serum. CART algorithm (Classification and Regression Trees) was applied to determine criteria to differentiate between patients with androgenetic and post-COVID alopecia.
Results. Analysis revealed the change in telogen/anagen ratio in the androgen-dependent zone in in AGA, and in androgen-dependent (parietal) area in post-COVID. Notably, patients with post-COVID alopecia exhibited elevated DHT levels compared to reference, with no significant difference in comparison to AGA. There was a significant 46.4% reduction in Cu content (p = 0.006) alongside an 24.7% increase in Se levels (p = 0.003) in post-COVID alopecia.
Conclusion. The percent of telogen hair and serum Se level as the objective criteria for the differential diagnosis of AGA and post-COVID alopecia in women are presented.

Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND: The knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of intensive care nurses concerning the prevention of pressure injury (PI) may be positively affected by education. PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of web-based training given to nurses on their knowledge of, attitudes about, and behaviors in the prevention of PI. METHODS: This study was conducted between May 2019 and December 2019 with a pre-test and post-test design. The study sample consisted of 22 nurses and 80 patients. A link to the educational video prepared for the prevention of PIs was sent to the nurses’ mobile phones. RESULTS: The training had a significant positive effect on nurses’ level of knowledge of and attitudes toward PI prevention (P < .001 and P = .042, respectively). In group 1, comprising 40 patients who received treatment before nurses’ training, 2.5% of patients had stage 1 PI on day 1 and 7.5% had stage 1 PI on day 7, and 2.5% had stage 4 PI on day 7. In group 2, comprising 40 patients who received treatment after nurses’ training, 2.5% of patients had stage 1 PI on day 1 and 2.5% had stage 1 PI on day 7. CONCLUSION: Nurses’ knowledge of and attitudes and behaviors toward PI prevention were improved following the web-based training, and the stage and rate of PI were lower in patients who received care after nurses received the training.

Background: Living with an ostomy is a chronic condition, and self-care in such cases improves patient outcomes. Purpose: To adapt and test the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Ostomy Self-Care Index (T-OSCI) and the Turkish version of the Caregiver Contribution to Self-Care in Ostomy Patient Index (T-CC-OSCI). Methods: A psychometric study was conducted on a convenience sample of 202 adult patients with an ostomy and their 165 caregivers. Translation and back translation, face and content validity, construct validation, and reliability assessment of the T-OSCI and the T-CC-OSCI were performed. Exploratory factor analysis was used to evaluate the construct validity. Reliability was established using Cronbach α coefficients, ceiling and floor effects, and the Hotelling T2 test, Wilcoxon signed rank test, and intraclass correlation coefficient. Results: Content validity values were in the range of 0.85 to 1 for both the T-OSCI and the T-CC-OSCI. Exploratory factor analysis demonstrated generally acceptable factor loadings. The overall index revealed a high level of internal consistency (T-OSCI = 0.968, T-CC-OSCI = 0.862). No statistically significant difference was found between test-retest measurements. There was no indication of either ceiling or floor effects, or response bias. Conclusion: The T-OSCI and the T-CC-OSCI are valid and reliable indexes to measure the self-care of patients with an ostomy and their caregivers. These indexes may allow health care professionals to evaluate self-care in research and clinical settings, identify educational needs, and collaborate in developing and supporting appropriate self-care initiatives for patients with an ostomy and their caregivers.
Nonlinear relationships between the participation index and key financial assets: A quantile regression analysis
Authors: Şimşek Ahmed İhsan , Bulut Emre
Published: July 2024

The Participation Index is essential for assessing market sentiment, investor confidence, and financial market direction. Gold, known for its historical role in protecting wealth and providing a stable asset during economic instability, plays a key role in investment portfolios as an alternative guarantee against financial market fluctuations. The USD and EUR are key current currencies in global economics, affecting international trade, financial transactions, and investment decisions.
The purpose of this study is to analyze the complex relationships between the Participation Index (KAT) and three significant financial assets: gold, the US dollar (USD), and the Euro (EUR) using Quantile Regression analysis. Daily data between 16.11.2021-08.08.2023 were used in this study. According to the results; the impact of the euro exchange rate on the "KAT" variable exhibits a positive relationship, which increases as the quantile level rises. The impact of the exchange rate of the United States Dollar (USD) on the variable defined as "KAT" indicates a positive relationship, which intensifies as the quantile level rises. The relationship between gold prices and the "KAT" variable shows a positive strengthening impact as the quantile level increases, and these effects demonstrate a high level of statistical significance.
İşletmelerde çalışanlara yönelik duygu analizinin uygulanması: Potansiyel faydalar ve zorluklar
Authors: Yurdasever Engin
Published: July 2024

Duygu analizi, insanlara ait metin, görüntü ve ses gibi kaynaklardan elde edilen verileri inceleyerek insan duygularını analiz etmeyi ifade eden bir kavramdır. Bu araştırmanın amacı, işletmelerde çalışanlara yönelik duygu analizinin nasıl uygulanabileceğini ele almak ve çalışan duygularını analiz etmenin getireceği potansiyel faydalar ve zorlukları açıklamaktır. Bu makale, literatür taraması yöntemini kullanarak işletme çalışanları bağlamında duygu analizi ile ilgili çalışmaları inceleyip değerlendirmek suretiyle duygu analizi çabalarının işletmelere sağlayacağı fayda ve zorlukların karşılaştırılmasını kolaylaştırmayı ve bu yolla literatüre katkıda bulunmayı hedeflemektedir. Araştırma sonucunda işletmelerde duygu analizini kullanmanın, çalışan bağlılığını artırma, işten ayrılma riskini azaltma, veriye dayalı karar alma, potansiyel sorunları büyümeden önleme ve olumlu örgüt kültürü oluşturma gibi pek çok fayda sağladığı görülmüştür. Ancak aynı zamanda duygu analizi araçlarının mizah, iğneleme, ironi, jargon gibi özellikli ifadeleri anlamada zorluklar yaşadığı, karmaşık cümlelerin ve büyük miktarda veriyi analiz etmenin bir takım güçlükler oluşturduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Bu sebeple işletmelerin çalışan duygularını daha iyi anlayabilmek için duygu analizinden yararlanmaları önerilmekle birlikte verilerin etkili bir şekilde işlenmesi için yapay zeka teknolojilerinin hala gelişmeye ihtiyacı olduğu ve teknoloji gelişmeye devam ettikçe duygu analizi araçlarının çalışan duygularını anlamada daha başarılı hale geleceği düşünülmektedir.
Türkiye’nin turizm politikalarına 1960 askeri darbesinin etkisi

Published: July 2024

Bu çalışmada Türkiye Cumhuriyeti tarihinde yaşanmış ilk darbe olan 27 Mayıs 1960 askeri darbesinin öncesinde ve sonrasında turizmle ilgili yapılan yasal düzenlemeler ve uygulanan politikalar incelenerek; Türk turizmine olan yansımaları değerlendirilmiştir.

27 Mayıs 1960 askeri darbesi sonrasında Türkiye, üyeleri askerlerden oluşmuş Milli Birlik Komitesi hükümetiyle yönetilmeye başlanmıştır. Dünyada darbe geleneği olan ülkelerde olduğu gibi Türkiye’de de istikrarsızlık, güven kaybı, seyahat kısıtlamaları, yatırımların azalması ve imaj sorunu gibi faktörler turizm sektörünü olumsuz etkilemiştir. Ancak 1960’lı yılların Türkiye’sinde öncelikli gündem maddesi olan kalkınmayla doğrudan ilişkisi bulunan turizm sektörünün geliştirilmesiyle birçok sorunun çözüme kavuşturulması hedeflenmiştir. Çözülmesi gereken, işsizlik ve döviz girdisi sorunları turizme öncelik verilmesinin gerekçesi olmuştur. Gürsel Hükümetleri Dönemi’nde -ki yalnızca 17 ay sürmüştür- turizmde niceliksel artış olmamasına karşın, turizmin devlet örgütü içinde yerini almasına öncülük edilmiştir. Özellikle Devlet Planlama Teşkilatı’nın kurulması, 1961 Anayasası ve yasal düzenlemelerle birlikte Türkiye'nin turizm politikaları yeniden biçimlendirilmiş ve sektör yeniden canlanma sürecine girmiştir.

Bu çalışmada, kronolojiye özen gösterilmiş ve analitik bir yaklaşım benimsenmiştir. Aynı zamanda bir turizm tarihi çalışması niteliğinde olan araştırma kapsamında, literatür incelemesinin yanı sıra yasal düzenlemelerin metinleri, hükümet programları, komisyon raporları, parlamento konuşmaları ve meclis tutanakları kaynak olarak kullanılmıştır.
