In an era characterized by growing globalization and increased fiscal oversight, tax compliance has become a significant concern for governments, businesses, and individuals globally (Bruce-Twum, 2023). This study seeks to examine the impact of digital tax administration on tax compliance within the informal sector in the Southwest states of Nigeria. The study employed a survey research design to collect primary data using a structured questionnaire, targeting artisans, street vendors, small-scale traders, service providers, and other self-employed individuals in the Southwest States of Nigeria. These individuals typically operate outside formal tax channels. A total of 600 questionnaires were distributed, with 547 completed responses received, providing a substantial and representative sample. The study used purposive sampling to select participants with relevant characteristics for the research. To ensure the reliability of the questionnaire, a Cronbach's Alpha test was conducted. Data analysis involved both descriptive statistics (such as mean, variance, skewness, and kurtosis) and inferential statistics (including correlation and regression analysis). The regression analysis showed that both technical know-how and digital payment platforms have positive and statistically significant impacts on tax compliance within the informal sector in the Southwest states of Nigeria. The study concludes that enhancing technical skills and expanding access to digital payment platforms can significantly improve tax compliance within the informal sector in the Southwest states of Nigeria. Therefore, this study suggested that Government and relevant agencies should invest in training programs aimed at improving the technical know-how of individuals and businesses in the informal sector.
Against all Odds: Intangible Resources Driving Social Value Creation Among Women Entrepreneurs in Pakistan
Authors: Shahid Zainab , Abbas Javaria , Arshad Ramsha
Published: November 2024

This study explores the direct impact of intangible resources—including human capital, social capital, and reputational capital—on social value creation by women entrepreneurs in Pakistan. It further examines the moderating effects of perceived gender discrimination and entrepreneurial alertness on the relationship between these intangible resources and social value creation. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire from 122 Pakistani women social entrepreneurs and analyzed using SPSS and SMART PLS 3 software packages. The findings indicate that intangible resources significantly contribute to social value creation. Specifically, human capital and social capital are positively associated with social value creation. However, the positive influence of reputational capital on social value creation diminishes in the presence of high levels of perceived gender discrimination and entrepreneurial alertness. Interestingly, while perceived gender discrimination amplifies the positive effect of human capital on social value creation, entrepreneurial alertness does not significantly alter this relationship. In contrast, neither perceived gender discrimination nor entrepreneurial alertness moderates the relationship between social capital and social value creation. These results underscore the complexity of the interplay between intangible resources and external contextual factors in shaping social value creation among women entrepreneurs in Pakistan. The study highlights the critical need to support and enhance these intangible resources while addressing contextual barriers to foster greater social impact through women’s entrepreneurship.

Published: November 2024

This study focuses on leaders in the province of Punjab, Pakistan, aiming to explore the influence of emotional intelligence on various aspects such as leadership effectiveness, communication, conflict management, and the motivation and retention of employees. Questionnaires from a pre-structured set were sent to 150 business managers from a variety of industries as part of a quantitative research study. ANOVA, regression, and correlation analyses were used to develop three hypotheses. It was found that emotional intelligence has a significant impact on leadership effectiveness. One of the most important findings from the correlation study was that emotional intelligence and leadership effectiveness are strongly linked (r = 0.78, p < 0.01). The study demonstrated how emotional intelligence plays a key role in communication, conflict resolution, and group dynamics. Finally, the ANOVA results showed that as a leader's emotional intelligence increases, their motivation, organizational commitment, and employee retention also rise significantly. Then, evidence was presented to add to (Goleman & Intelligence, 1995) study on emotional intelligence and underscores its importance for effective leadership. The findings suggest that emotional intelligence is an essential component of successful leadership, improving team performance, employee satisfaction, and overall organizational success. Data was gathered from self-report questionnaires administered to a broad range of leaders in Punjabi businesses.
The Doctrine of Eternal Security: A Reflection on Perseverance of the Saints
Authors: Luke Thomas
Published: November 2024

One of the basic tenets in Christian doctrine is the doctrine of the Perseverance of the Saints, also known as Eternal Security. It provides a guarantee of eternal security for their salvation. According to this doctrine, once a person has been genuinely saved through faith in Jesus Christ, it is not possible to lose it. Rooted in the biblical characterization of God—His faithfulness and the sufficiency of Christ's atoning work—eternal security brings comfort and hope to believers. This paper considers some of the key scriptural texts supporting the doctrine, such as John 10:28-29 and Ephesians 1:13-14, which affirm that believers are firmly held in Christ's hands and sealed by the Holy Spirit. It also goes into the nuances of salvation as a process of transformation whereby the believer is continuously in the process of sanctification. The paper also argues against the common objections surrounding eternal security and brings a balanced account of the responsibility of a believer in salvation but without sacrificing divine sovereignty for human agency. The doctrine is then set forth not only as an assurance of salvation but as a stimulus for good living and persistence in faith, improving the person's relationship with God and a life lived with spiritual growth. This reflection would attempt to reaffirm that the assurance of eternal security is both a protective force against despair and a motivating power for holy living.

The state of the country's economy can be analyzed based on the economic data of some countries, one of the data closely related to the state of the country's economy is the CPI (Consumer Price Index). The Consumer Price Index is the main indicator used to measure a country's inflation. The consumer price index was in a very downward trend from January 2020 to January 2023. The change in the consumer price index was due to the Covid-19 epidemic. Changes in CPI data are responded to by intervention analysis, where forecasting of future conditions is done with intervention analysis. Interference analysis is time series data that is affected by external and internal factors that can cause changes in the model at the same time. The intervention model has 2 functions, namely step and pulse functions. The step function is an intervening phenomenon that produces long-term effect, while the pulse function is an intervening phenomenon that produces short-term (temporary) effect. The research data variable taken is the monthly data of the Indonesian CPI for the period January 2014 to January 2023. The data uses a step function intervention model because there is an extreme decline in the period January 2020 (T = 73) to January 2023 (T = 109) in a long period of time. The resulting intervention model is SARIMA(0,1,1)(0,0,1)12 in order b=0, s=0, and r=1 with a model accuracy using SMAPE of 0,58% which shows the model is classified as very good.

Max-Plus algebra has been used to model and analyze network problems, such as railway networks, project scheduling, queuing systems, and production systems. In this network problem, Max-Plus Algebra is used for scheduling analysis. The assumption used in this analysis is a normal situation, there are no changes in the system that affect scheduling. One factor that is important and needs to be considered is the occurrence of delays in the system which affect scheduling. The objectives of this research are 1) to analyze the effect of system delays on scheduling, and 2) to determine interventions in the form of switching on the server to overcome delay propagation due to schedule delays at certain stages in the system. The simple production system in this research involves 3 servers. The arrangement of the three servers is a combination of parallel and series arrangements. The simulation in this research uses the Scilab. The switching carried out in this research is by speeding up the process on the server by 1 unit of time. The results of this research are 1) direct delay propagation occurs if the delay occurs on the server that contains the eigenvalues. If a delay occurs on a server that does not contain eigen values ​​then there will be no delay propagation provided that the amount of delay on that server does not exceed (t – 1) where t is the time required for the entire process from that server to the next server. If the delay exceeds (t – 1) then delay propagation will occur. 2) Based on simulations using Scilab, delay propagation can be overcome by switching one or more servers according to the delay point. Delays on the server containing the eigenvalues ​​can only be resolved by switching the server. Meanwhile, on servers that do not contain eigenvalues, switching can be done using a combination of these servers.

Authors: Label Marcelo , Bendjuia Gabriela , Merenzon Sabrina , Label Andrés
Published: November 2024

La detección de autoanticuerpos en las enfermedades reumatológicas autoinmunes sistémicas denominadas colagenopatías es de gran valor para apoyar el diagnóstico clínico, y en ocasiones permite detectar y clasificar subtipos. Los actuales trabajos buscan la posibilidad de utilizar biomarcadores de las distintas enfermedades como predictores de la evolución clínica. Por ejemplo, intentan integrar marcadores clásicos de activación, como el componente 3 del complemento (C3) con autoanticuerpos como los anti-dsDNA o los anti-Sm en el lupus eritematoso sistémico. La técnica de inmunofluorescencia indirecta sobre las células HEp-2 es la más utilizada como tamizaje. Detecta la presencia de autoanticuerpos, brinda una idea de su cantidad al titularla y además el patrón en ocasiones permite inferir cuál es el antígeno blanco que luego debe corroborarse con otras técnicas. En esta revisión describimos la nueva taxonomía propuesta por un conjunto de expertos en 2014 y actualizada en septiembre 2021 enfatizando el correlato clínico y la utilidad de los principales anticuerpos anticelulares. El objetivo es comunicar los conceptos actuales con esquemas y tablas que puedan resultar útiles para los profesionales en su práctica.

Introduction: ENT experts manage neck traumas, particularly penetration neck injuries or cut throat injuries, which violate the platysma muscle layer. The aim of this study was to assess further in detail about the sociodemographic status, etiology, presentation of patients, treatment provided and its outcome. Material and Methods: This study was carried out in the Department of ENT at a tertiary care hospital from January 2020 to January 2023. The study is retrospective. Total 17 cases of cut throat injuries, irrespective of age and sex, were included in the study. Patients with insignificant injuries to neck and those with multiple traumas to other body parts were excluded from this study. Results: Among the 17 patients included in the study, most of them were males and belonged to upper lower socioeconomic class according to modified Kuppuswamy scale. The most common mode of neck injury was by suicide and four of them were suffering from depression. The most common site involved was the zone II. Conclusions: Poor socioeconomic status and unemployment negatively impact mental health, leading to homicidal injuries. Resolving societal issues like poverty and drug addiction, implementing government enforcement measures, and improving communication systems can reduce complications and death rates.

Published: November 2024

Introduction: Among viruses, Epstein Barr Virus is an important cause of acute cervical lymphadenitis. The clinical features of acute Epstein-Barr virus infection overlap those of a variety of other infectious and non-infectious diseases so reliable laboratory tests are important to not only confirm but aid in the differential diagnosis. The aim of the present study was to investigate and compare the diagnostic utility of EBV DNA detection as an adjunct to serological diagnosis of primary EBV infection.
Materials & Methods: In this hospital based cross sectional study 30 patients below 18 years of age with acute cervical lymphadenitis were included. Comparison between ELISA and PCR for Detection of Epstein - Barr virus in children with acute cervical lymphadenitis was done. EBV IgM and IgG-ELISA was done for the qualitative determination of IgM and IgG class antibodies against Epstein-Barr virus viral capsid antigen (VCA) in serum samples and Real-time PCR (by using RTP Pathogen Kit) was done for qualitative determination of EBV DNA.
Results: EBV RT-PCR was negative in serum samples of all 30 patients. EB virus could not be detected by RT-PCR in all seropositive cases. There was no significant difference found between genders in the results of EB Virus serology, and that of EBV RT PCR (p value was >.05).
Conclusion: The use of RT- PCR for EBV DNA detection resulted in an increase in reliability of diagnosis of primary EBV infection, enhancing overall diagnostic efficacy. Our study proves that serological antibody could be positive for EBV in many patients either because of cross reactivity with other viruses or past infection with EBV.

Sümercedeki verintilerinden dolayı yaşayan en eski yazı dili olan Türkçe bu ömrünü çok ağır bir şekilde değişim yaşamasına borçludur. Türkler kendi icat ettikleri Köktürk işaretleriyle metinlerini günümüze kadar okuta gelmişlerdir. İşte Türkçe zıtlıklar içerisinde yaşamasını devam ettirmiş ve gerektiğinde daha çok çaba yasasını daha az çaba yasası kadar kullanmıştır. Bu çalışmada önce genel olarak ve morfolojik yönden daha çok çaba yasasına değinilmişse de esas irdeleme ses olaylarında yapıldı. Ses olayları ile ilgili örnek sözcükler gerektiğinde ağızlardan, lehçelerden ve Altay dil grubu üyelerinde de verildi. Türk dilinin İlk Türkçe dönemi Hazar Tamgasın adını verdiğimiz sıralı kura kaidesindeki ön seste #K3 (*p’, *δ, *ĝ) ve arkaik çokluk eki +l* ile başlar. Çuvaşların ataları bu dönemde ortak dilden ayrılmıştır. Gerektiğinde Türk dilinin kız kardeşi Macarcaya da bakılır. Ana Türkçe döneminde kök vokalinde bulunan birincil uzun ünlü söz konusudur.

Modelagem da infestação de lianas e da biomassa do fuste de árvores em fragmentos de Mata Atlântica
Authors:   , Tavares Júnior Ivaldo da Silva
Published: November 2024

A Mata Atlântica, uma das florestas tropicais mais biodiversas do mundo, atualmente sofre com a degradação e fragmentação, restando apenas cerca de 12% de sua extensão original. A fragmentação florestal impacta negativamente a biomassa florestal, reduzindo a densidade e a diversidade de árvores e aumentando a abundância de lianas. Portanto, compreender e modelar a ocorrência e a abundância de lianas, assim como a biomassa das árvores, é essencial para a conservação e manejo sustentável da Mata Atlântica. Assim, os objetivos deste trabalho foram classificar a ocorrência de árvores infestadas por lianas em fragmentos de Mata Atlântica utilizando técnicas de aprendizagem de máquina (Capítulo I); projetar a abundância de árvores infestadas por lianas utilizando técnicas de aprendizagem de máquina (Capítulo II); e predizer a biomassa do fuste de árvores integrando descritores texturais da matriz de coocorrência em níveis de cinza (GLCM) e aprendizagem de máquina, incluindo a abundância de árvores infestadas por lianas nos modelos (Capítulo III). Na modelagem da ocorrência de árvores infestadas por lianas, a análise de variáveis como altura total das árvores e diâmetro à 1,30 m de altura indicam que árvores maiores oferecem mais suporte para o crescimento das lianas. Na modelagem da abundância de árvores infestadas por lianas, a área basal por hectare, grupo ecológico, fósforo remanescente no solo e a concentração de alumínio trocável foram variáveis cruciais. A maior área basal sugere uma floresta mais madura, proporcionando o fechamento do dossel e redução das lianas. Já a alta concentração de alumínio trocável indica um ambiente competitivo mais favorável para as lianas devido à toxicidade para muitas plantas. Na predição da biomassa do fuste de árvores utilizando descritores texturais GLCM e aprendizagem de máquina utilizando dados do sensor Landsat 7, foram extraídos descritores texturais durante períodos secos e chuvosos. As técnicas de aprendizagem de máquina, como a regressão vetorial de suporte (RVS) e redes neurais artificiais (RNA), mostraram robustez na validação, especialmente a RVS durante o período seco. A inclusão de variáveis texturais e a consideração da abundância de árvores infestadas por lianas melhoraram a precisão dos modelos, destacando a importância de adaptar os modelos às condições sazonais e estruturais da vegetação. Esses resultados ressaltam a eficácia das técnicas de aprendizagem de máquina na modelagem da infestação de lianas, bem como na predição da biomassa do fuste de árvores. Além disso a inclusão de fatores ambientais e antrópicos proporcionam uma compreensão detalhada dos fragmentos florestais, promovendo um manejo sustentável da Mata Atlântica. Palavras-chave: distúrbios em florestas; infestação; manejo florestal.
Manejo hídrico de mudas de café arábica cultivadas com polímero hidroretentor e turnos de rega
Authors:   , Silva Mateus Oliveira
Published: November 2024

O café, é uma das bebidas mais consumidas globalmente, sendo uma das principais commodities do mercado brasileiro. Produzir café de qualidade de forma sustentável envolve o uso de mudas que maximizam o potencial genético e influenciem o desenvolvimento da planta. Problemas climáticos, como má distribuição de chuvas, afetam a sustentabilidade da produção. O uso de polímeros hidroabsorventes, especialmente biodegradáveis, pode aumentar a retenção de água, facilitar o manejo hídrico e melhorar a qualidade das mudas de café. Foram realizados experimentos com saquinhos de polietileno e Tubetes de Polipropileno com diferentes doses de hidrogel e 2 turnos de rega. Em ambos os experimentos, a combinação de 0,50% de UPDT e um turno de rega de 2 dias resultou no maior consumo hídrico durante a produção de mudas de café arábica. Isso indica que, independentemente do volume de substrato ou do tipo de recipiente utilizado (saquinhos de polietileno ou tubetes de polipropileno), essa combinação demanda mais água. Nos dois experimentos, o turno de rega de 2 dias (TR2) foi recomendado para a irrigação e produção das mudas, sugerindo que essa frequência de irrigação é adequada tanto para saquinhos quanto para tubetes. Contudo, por apresentar superioridade nos valores, o uso de recipientes maiores como o saquinho é mais recomendado, combinado com doses de 0,25% de UPDT, recomendando-se valores de coeficiente de cultivo (Kc) para produção de mudas de 0,19; 0,26 e 0,29 para os períodos de 0-49, 50-84 e 85-159 dias após semeadura, respectivamente.

Potensi panas bumi Daerah Danau Ranau berasal dari sisa-sisa aktivitas magmatik dari Gunung Seminung. Manifestasi panas bumi di daerah ini berupa mata air panas yang diperkirakan muncul melalui struktur geologi. Keberadaan fluida manifestasi panas bumi sangat menarik untuk diteliti, khususnya terkait asal usul dan perkiraan temperatur reservoir dengan pendekatan komposisi isotop δ18O dan δ2H. Asal usul fluida manifestasi penting diketahui untuk menentukan potensi sistem panas bumi dari fluida manifestasi permukaan terkait interaksi magmatik, evaporasi atau batuan. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan analisis isotop untuk menentukan asal usul fluida manifestasi panas bumi dan geotermometer isotop untuk memperkirakan temperatur reservoir. Pengambilan sampel isotop pada fluida manifestasi panas bumi di Desa Kota Batu sebanyak 3 sampel dan di Desa Lombok sebanyak 3 sampel. Hasil analisis isotop pada grafik hubungan antara δ18O dan δ2H menunjukkan bahwa semua sampel isotop pada fluida manifestasi panas bumi berasal dari air meteorik. Persamaan nilai garis air meteorik lokal terdapat perbedaan pada nilai deuterium excess (DE) dibandingkan dengan persamaan nilai garis air meteorik global. Perubahan nilai DE ini diakibatkan adanya proses interaksi dan pencampuran (mixing) antara fluida panas bumi dan batuan (connate water) dengan sumber evaporasi dan presipitasi dari Danau Ranau. Hasil perhitungan geotermometer isotop berdasarkan faktor fraksinasi isotop, diperkirakan temperatur reservoir berkisar ± 270 0C. Perkiraan temperatur reservoir menunjukkan bahwa semua sampel isotop pada fluida manifestasi panas bumi tergolong dalam temperatur tinggi.
Cognitive Flexibility and Resilience in Adolescents: Exploring Gender Differences and Cultural Implications
Authors: Artawijaya Lintang Mahardhika , Supratiwi Mahardika
Published: November 2024

This study explores the role of cognitive flexibility in enhancing resilience among Indonesian adolescents, using a cross-sectional research design. A total of 152 high school students from grades 10 and 11 participated, with data collected through the Cognitive Flexibility Scale (CFS) and the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS). The findings revealed a significant positive relationship between cognitive flexibility and resilience, indicating that cognitive flexibility is a crucial predictor of resilience. The study also identified significant gender differences in resilience, with male adolescents exhibiting higher resilience levels than females. These results align with existing research, emphasizing the importance of cognitive flexibility in psychological well-being and stress management. Furthermore, the study contributes to the broader literature by demonstrating that the relationship between cognitive flexibility and resilience is robust across different cultural contexts, including Indonesia. The practical implications of these findings are substantial, suggesting that educational programs should integrate cognitive flexibility into school curricula through targeted teacher training and specialized learning modules. Additionally, the development of gender-specific interventions is recommended to address the distinct needs of male and female adolescents. Future research should further investigate the mechanisms underlying the relationship between cognitive flexibility and resilience, particularly considering potential moderating factors such as family environment and school context. Longitudinal studies would be beneficial to track the development of these traits over time, providing deeper insights into their dynamic interaction. Understanding cultural influences on these constructs is also crucial for designing culturally appropriate and effective interventions.
Rural India, the problem of Open Defecation and India’s Public Health Programs: Lessons in Social Learning
Authors: Chawla Abhay
Published: November 2024

Open defecation (OD) remains a significant public health and environmental challenge, particularly in rural India, where socio-economic and cultural barriers hinder the adoption of sanitation facilities. Despite over two decades of government initiatives, including the Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC), Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan (NBA), and Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM), achieving an Open Defecation Free (ODF) status has proven elusive. This paper examines the systemic limitations of these programs, focusing on the disconnect between policy objectives and community realities. Drawing from the author’s field experience in Haryana, the study highlights critical barriers, including inadequate water supply, economic constraints, and insufficient integration of social learning strategies. The analysis underscores the failure of top-down approaches that emphasize latrine construction while neglecting socio-cultural dynamics and local engagement. The lack of trained personnel, culturally relevant messaging, and participatory planning has resulted in low adoption rates and widespread skepticism about sanitation programs. Using Bandura’s social learning theory, the paper advocates for community-led approaches that leverage social networks and behavioral modeling to foster sustainable change. By comparing India's experiences with successful sanitation strategies in countries like Bangladesh, this study emphasizes the need for context-specific, inclusive, and adaptive solutions. The findings contribute to the broader discourse on public health, demonstrating that sustainable sanitation requires a holistic approach integrating technology, behavior change, and community ownership. Policymakers must prioritize cultural sensitivity and social learning to bridge the gap between infrastructure provision and behavioral adoption, ensuring long-term public health benefits.
ZAŠTO BI FILOZOFI TREBALI BITI UPRAVITELJI DRŽAVE
Authors: Musić Ivica , Buntić Mate , Penava Mate
Published: November 2024

Kada se govori o državi, najveći se naglasak stavlja na njezin ustroj, odnosno na pitanje je li optimalno uređenje demokracija, socijalizam ili neki drugi oblik vladanja. Pritom se uglavnom zaboravlja na činjenicu da su osobe koje upravljaju važnije od sustava kojima su na čelu. Uviđajući ovaj problem, već je Platon ponudio rješenje koje je po njegovu mišljenju idealno. Naime, on smatra da bi državom trebali upravljati filozofi. Dakako, riječ filozof on shvaća u njezinu izvornome značenju – ona se odnosi na ljude koji ljube mudrost, odnosno na osobe koje teže za najuzvišenijim dobrom. Članak problematizira pitanja vezana za društveni ustroj i izbor vladara ponajviše kroz prizmu Platonove političke filozofije, pogotovo dijela koji se bavi odlikama filozofa kao vladara i razlozima zbog kojih bi filozofi trebali biti vladari. Pojam filozof u ovome kontekstu obuhvaća ne samo ljude koji se profesionalno bave filozofijom nego sve one koji se u svome djelovanju upravljaju četirima temeljnim krjepostima: mudrošću, hrabrošću, umjerenošću i pravednošću. No kako rasprava ne bi bila jednosmjerna, u radu su izložene i dvije teorije koje kritiziraju zamisao o filozofima kao vladarima. Riječ je o Kantovu i Popperovu viđenju ovoga problema. Na temelju sučeljavanja suprotstavljenih stavova zaključuje se da istinskoga liderstva nema bez areteističkoga pristupa politici.

OKOVI DEMOKRACIJE U BOSNI I HERCEGOVINI
Authors: Musa Irena
Published: November 2024

U ovom se radu u kratkim crtama govori o demokraciji od njezinih početaka do dvadesetoga
stoljeća u kojem se demokracija prihvaća kao najpoželjniji socijalni izum. Ističu se i neki teorijski doprinosi razumijevanju demokracije, posebice reformatorske ideje Johna Stuarta Milla o društvu, državi i njezinu ustroju. Mill dolazi do spoznaje da je demokracija najpogodniji oblik vladavine jer će osigurati jednakost životnih prilika za sve, red i napredak u državi. U radu se govori o krizi demokracije i njezinim paradoksima u zrelim demokracijama kapitalističkoga Zapada, kao i o početcima demokracije na socijalističkom Istoku, s posebnim naglaskom na uspostavu i razvoj parlamentarne demokracije u višenacionalnoj državi Bosni i Hercegovini. U Bosni i Hercegovini demokratsko je iskustvo relativno kratka vijeka i vrlo je često frustrirajuće jer je i danas Bosna i Hercegovina nestabilna država opterećena mnogim problemima iz bliže i dalje prošlosti koji usporavaju demokratske procese, a time i funkcionalnu uspostavu demokratskoga poretka. U radu se ističe značaj i neraskidiva povezanost političke kulture, demokratskoga odgoja, obrazovanja i civilnoga društva s demokracijom te se uviđa da su ovi fenomeni u Bosni i Hercegovini nerazvijeni, zapušteni ili pak marginalizirani.

No foco da análise da paisagem, o relevo compreende um elemento da natureza relevante, cujo estudo possibilita a identificação das inter-relações entre os demais elementos constituintes da paisagem. É também um elemento importante para as atividades antrópicas, sendo assim, um dos componentes da natureza mais importantes para os interesses da sociedade. Por essa razão é indiscutível a importância que o conhecimento geomorfológico tem no estudo integrado da paisagem, podendo, mediante metodologias adequadas, como o mapeamento geomorfológico, contribuir de forma sistemática para os estudos de planejamento ambiental. Nesse sentido o presente trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar resultados de mapeamento geomorfológico dos municípios de Altos, Nazária e Teresina a partir da abordagem da geoecologia das paisagens. Para isso utilizou a abordagem metodológica da Cartografia de Paisagens para realizar o mapeamento do relevo dos três municípios, que consistiu no cruzamento semiautomático em ambiente SIG de variáveis morfométricas do relevo. Constatou-se uma diversidade de feições de relevo seccionadas em conjuntos de diferentes formas (terraços, planícies, morros, planaltos limitados por escarpas, e colinas) aplainadas e degradadas por processos erosivos generalizados, promovidos pela atuação da rede de drenagem.

Authors: Gültekin Fatih
Published: November 2024

ÖZET
İşveren, iş başvurusunda bulunan kişinin belirli bir pozisyon ve amaçlanan iş için uygun olup olmadığını öğrenmek isteyebilir. Dolayısıyla işverenin bir işçiyi işe alma kararını, sağlık kriterine dayandırma hakkına sahip olduğu söylenebilir. Kişilerin ruhsal uygunluğunu belirlemek için yapılan tıbbi muayene kapsamına psikolojik testler de girmekte ve test sonuçlarının işveren tarafından öğrenilmesi ve işlenmesi kişilik hakkına müdahale oluşturabilmektedir. Psikolojik testler, geniş anlamda kişinin içsel süreçlerini veya özelliklerini belirlemeye yönelik prosedürler olarak anlaşılabilir. Psikolojik testlere, iş başvurusunda bulunanlar hakkında doldurulacak belirli pozisyon ve bunun sonucunda ortaya çıkan iş gereksinimleri ile ilgili bilgi üretme amaçlanıyorsa izin verilir. Ayrıca işverenin test sonucunda bilgiye sahip olma konusundaki menfaatinin, başvuru sahibinin menfaatine karşı tartılması gereklidir. Çalışma kapsamında işveren tarafından uygulanan psikolojik testlerin iş başvurusunda bulunan kişilerin kişilik haklarına ne ölçüde müdahale ettiği tespit edilmeye çalışılacaktır.
