Authors: GÖKSOY SEVİNÇLİ Berfin
Published: January 2024

Yoksulluk, bireyleri ekonomik, sosyal, sağlık gibi pek çok yönden etkilemektedir. Yoksullar, istedikleri standartlarda hayatlarını sürdürmekte zorlanmaktadır. Bu durum, kentleri de görünüm ve yaşantı noktasında olumsuz olarak etkilemektedir. Bir kenti yaşanabilir kılmak, yoksulluğun kentteki görünürlüğünün azaltılması ile mümkündür. Yoksullukla mücadelede ise atılacak adımlardan ilki yoksulluğu anlamaktır. Bu noktada kentte yaşayanların yoksulluğu nasıl algıladıkları ve yoksulluk algıları ile yaşam memnuniyetleri arasında anlamlı bir ilişkinin var olup olmadığı sorusu önem kazanmaktadır. Araştırmada bu sorudan hareketle, bireylerin yoksulluk algıları ve yaşam memnuniyet düzeylerinin ölçülmesi ile yoksulluk algılarının yaşam memnuniyet düzeyleri üzerindeki etkinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yoksulluk değerlendirmesinde önemli bir yeri olan gelir ve yaşam koşulları bölgesel araştırmasının Türkiye 2022 verilerine göre, en düşük yıllık ortalama eşdeğer hanehalkı kullanılabilir fert gelirli TRB2 Bölgesinin içerisinde yer alan Bitlis ili bu araştırmanın örneklemi olarak seçilmiştir. Çalışmanın önemi, konu ile ilgili örneklem seçimi ile yaşam memnuniyeti ve yoksulluk algısı ölçeklerinin bir arada ele alınmasında saklıdır. Araştırma kapsamında 405 kişiye yoksulluk algısı ve yaşam memnuniyeti ölçeklerinden oluşan anket uygulanmıştır. Sonuç olarak; yoksulluk algısı alt boyutlarının yaşam memnuniyetine yönelik bağımlı değişkenleri negatif olarak etkilediği, gelir düzeyi ile yaşam memnuniyeti arasında anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu bulgulanmıştır.

Published: January 2024

Yüksek yapıların geçmişi 19.yüzyıla dayanmasına rağmen, 2000’lerden itibaren dünya genelinde yüksek yapılarda hızlı bir artış yaşanmıştır. Ülkemizde bu gelişmeden payını alarak, yüksek yapı üretiminde son yıllarda önemli bir konuma ulaşmıştır. Bu çalışmada, ülkemizde yüksek yapıların artan öneminden, kentsel görünürlüğünden ve terminolojideki eksiklikten yola çıkarak, yüksek yapı kavramı problematize edilmiştir. Yüksek yapı kavramının net bir çerçevesini sunabilmek hedeflenmiştir. Ülkemizdeki standart ve yönetmeliklere göre yüksek yapılar yalnızca yükseklik limitlerine göre tanımlanmaktadır. Kentsel koşullar, karakteristik özellikler hesaba katılmaksızın yapılar tanımlanmaktadır. Yüksek yapılar baskın kütleleri ve yükseklikleri ile kentlerin dokusu ve silüeti üzerinde büyük bir etki yaratma potansiyeline sahiptirler. Dolayısıyla yüksek yapıların bağlamsal verilere göre tanımlanması ve yükseklik limitlerinin belirlenmesi, kentlerin özgün doku ve karakterinin korunabilmesi bakımından önemli ve gereklidir. Bu çalışma kapsamında toplam 4 kıtaya (Avrupa, Amerika, Afrika ve Asya) ait 23 adet yüksek yapı tasarım kılavuzunda yer alan yüksek yapı tanımlamaları incelenmiştir. Yüksek yapı tanımlamalarında, kentsel silüet, çevredeki yapı stoğu, yol genişlikleri, kentsel etki değeri gibi kentlere özgü farklı bağlamsal verilerin belirleyici faktörler olduğu saptanmıştır. Sonuç olarak; elde edilen bilgiler doğrultusunda ülkemizdeki yüksek yapıların tanımlanmasına ilişkin kavramsal çerçeve tartışılmıştır.

Authors: TOPUZ Hatice Hilal , DÖNMEZ Yasin
Published: January 2024

To create a well-designed city, all the components of the city should be brought together properly and each of them should have the means and facilities to meet all the needs of the citizens. In order to achieve this, it is essential to thoroughly examine, adopt, and adapt existing design criteria from various locations around the world for each aspect of the urban landscape. Additionally, introducing new site-specific criteria when necessary and striving to incorporate them into urban planning are crucial steps in this process. In accordance with this approach, the study is centered around the neighborhood scale which is the smallest unit of a settlement. All the components that should be present in a neighborhood were determined and a literature review was conducted regarding the design criteria of each. It was aimed to test the extent to which these criteria are complied with in a sample settlement. Yenimahalle Neighborhood, located in the Safranbolu district of Turkiye's Karabuk province, was chosen as an example. After conducting a thorough analysis of land uses, a comparison has been drawn between the development plan and the present situation. Based on the design criteria, this assessment has identified areas of both adequacy and inadequacy.
Şubat Depremlerinin Bölgesel Girişimcilik Faaliyetleri ve İşgücü Göstergeleri Üzerindeki Etkilerinin Tahmin Edilmesi
Authors: DEMİRDAĞ İsmail
Published: January 2024

Depremler şirketlerin altyapılarını, tedarik zincirlerini, iş yaşam hatlarını ve girişimcilik için gerekli olan insan sermayesini yok ederek bölgesel istihdamın azalmasına ve zamanla bölgenin ekonomik çöküşüne yol açabilir. Bu çalışmanın öncelikli amacı, Şubat Depremlerinin on bir ilin girişimcilik faaliyetleri ve işgücü göstergeleri üzerindeki olumsuz etkilere ışık tutmaktır. Makale, SGK, TÜİK ve TOBB gibi kurumlardan illerin girişimcilik potansiyellerini temsil eden iş yeri sayısı, girişim sayısı ve yeni kurulan firma sayısı verilerini tedarik ederek, depremlerin mevcut girişimcilik faaliyetleri üzerindeki etkisini hesaplamaktadır. Bunu başarmak için çalışma ilk olarak, aylık olarak yayınlanan verilerin önceki yılın aynı dönemine göre değişim oranlarını hesaplamaktadır, ardından bunu illerin 2023 yılı ortalama girişim sayılarının hesaplanmasında kullanmaktadır. Benzer bir yaklaşımı, istihdam ve işsizlik sayılarının hesaplamasında da kullanmaktadır. SGK'dan elde edilen aylık sigortalı çalışan sayısı ve TÜİK'ten alınan yıllık işgücü göstergelerini kullanarak, makale depremlerin istihdam ve işsizlik üzerindeki olası etkilerini ortaya çıkartmaktadır. Bulgular depremlerin illerin girişimcilik faaliyetlerinde yıkıcı bir etkiye sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Depremler özel iş yeri sayısında aylık ortalama 39 bin düşüşe yol açarken, 2023 yılı sonunda toplam 125 bin girişimin kapanmasına neden olmaktadır. Diğer taraftan, bu kayıplar, aylık ortalama 262 bin sigortalı çalışanın işinden olması ve yıl sonunda artı 585 bin kişinin işsiz kalması anlamına gelmektedir. Ayrıca, meydana gelen bu kayıpların yüzde 70'inin birinci derecede hasarlı illerden kaynaklı olduğunu belirtmekte fayda vardır.

A public health approach to family justice: the possibilities of legal epidemiology and administrative data
Authors: Jay Matthew
Published: January 2024

Those in family court proceedings are at the sharp end of a spectrum of disputes concerning their children’s upbringing. Emerging evidence shows that, regarding both public and private law, socioeconomic and health deprivation of various forms is associated with higher rates of proceedings. Discovering health and social determinants of proceedings could inform upstream interventions to support parenting, improve wellbeing, reduce conflict and adversity and prevent the need for court involvement in the first place. It could also inform measures to mitigate adverse health effects of legal processes on vulnerable families and debates on legal aid and alternative dispute resolution in private proceedings. This ‘public health’ approach to family justice is now possible by innovations in linking whole-population, routinely collected datasets between the courts, healthcare and other services. This article explores the possibilities of combining legal and epidemiological understandings, methods and skills in researching family justice to inform practice, policy and legislative reform.
A New Universal Processor Architecture

Published: January 2024

通用处理器架构经历了复杂指令集计算机（Complex Instruction Set Computer，CISC）和精简指令集计算机（Reduced Instruction Set Computer，RISC）两个阶段。但发展到现在，渐渐暴露出一些缺陷，它们既不能充分利用当前芯片的制造技术，也不能满足用户对大量数据处理速度的需求。为此，我们提出了一种新的通用处理器架构：祝氏共享计算机 (Zhu’s Sharing Set Computer，ZSSC)：共享功能模块的计算器。功能模块实现了复杂运算和系统服务等功能。复杂运算包含使用频率低的运算和需要占用非常大芯片面积才能实现的运算。系统服务包含硬件资源的管理和数据处理等服务。RISC是根据“80％的工作是由20％的指令完成”（“80% of the work is done by 20% of the instructions”）的统计结果而提出的一种处理器架构。它的设计策略（processor design strategy）只关注了比较常用的简单指令，而忽略了其他指令。相较于RISC架构，ZSSC架构完善了“80/20法则”在处理器领域的设计哲学（design philosophy）: 处理器以共享的方式分担功能模块的硬件实现成本。以这种方式，将简单操作、复杂运算、系统服务等操作和谐统一在同一个处理器架构下，既完成了资源的极大化使用，又能完成大量数据高速处理。本文将在ZSSC架构下提出并讨论一种处理器模型：简单祝氏处理器 (basic Zhu’s Computer Processor，BZCP) 。

Computer-based voice familiarisation, delivered remotely using an online platform, improves speech intelligibility for older and younger adults
Authors: Zhu Wansu , Holmes Emma
Published: January 2024

Understanding speech in noisy environments is often challenging, but is easier if we are listening to someone familiar—for example, naturally familiar people (e.g., friends, partners) or voices that have been familiarised artificially in the lab. Thus, familiarising people with voices they regularly encounter (e.g., new friends and colleagues) could improve speech intelligibility in everyday life, which might be particularly useful for people who struggle to comprehend speech in noisy environments, such as older adults. Yet, we do not currently understand whether computer-based voice familiarisation is effective when delivered remotely, outside of a lab setting, and whether it is effective for older adults. Here, in an online computer-based study, we examined whether learned voices are more intelligible than unfamiliar voices in 20 older (55–73 years) and 20 younger (18–34 years) adults. Overall, older and younger participants benefited from training, and the magnitude of the intelligibility benefit (approximately 10% improvement in sentence report when the target-to-masker ratio was -6 dB) was similar between groups. These findings demonstrate that older adults can learn new voices as effectively as younger participants for improving speech intelligibility, even given a relatively short (< 1 hour) duration of familiarisation that is delivered in the comfort of their own homes.
Promoting University Students' Well-Being and Resilience by Means of a Game-Approach Basic Psychological Need Intervention: A Case Study
Authors: Kiltz Lisa , Fokkens-Bruinsma Marjon , Jansen E.P.W.A.
Published: January 2024

Compromised university student’s well-being remains a pressing issue that may be addressed with interventions. This case study evaluates an intervention aimed to raise awareness regarding how students’ basic psychological needs can promote their well-being (a), provide a shared responsibility for students and teachers to co-create their course (b), and satisfy their needs throughout this process (c). We tested the intervention with a mixed-method pre-post design. We hypothesised that students in an intervention condition would demonstrate greater need satisfaction than a control condition over time and that greater need satisfaction relates to improved well-being and resilience. In addition, we aimed to understand how the participants perceived the intervention. Using quantitative survey as well as qualitative observational and interview data, we found mixed findings regarding the intervention’s impact on students, with qualitative data providing a more nuanced picture. Although their needs remain unaffected by the intervention, they qualitatively reported that it satisfied their autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Of the three needs, only competence related to students’ well-being and resilience, but qualitatively, they stressed autonomy and relatedness as essential as well. When asked how they experienced the intervention, participants noted issues, such as social hesitance when playing with strangers, though they also reported various benefits regarding the content and social aspects. Therefore, we see potential in such game-based systemic interventions to create a healthy academic learning environment.
From Information to Worry: How Selective Interrogation of Information Shapes Expectancies in the Prenatal Period
Authors: Mazidi  , Grafton Ben , Moulds Michelle Leanne , Newby Jill , MacLeod Colin
Published: January 2024

The current study explored the association between elevated prenatal worry and negative expectancies about parenthood and the potential cognitive mechanisms driving such expectancies. Two main hypotheses were examined: First, that negative expectancies about parenthood contribute to elevated prenatal worry, and second, negative selective interrogation of information about parenthood contributes to the formation of more negative expectancies about parenthood. The study recruited 92 first-time pregnant women and evaluated their prenatal worry, parenthood expectancies, and tendency to volitionally choose negative rather than positive information about parenthood (i.e., demonstrate a negative interrogation bias). Our findings revealed a significant association between negative expectancies about parenthood and elevated prenatal worry. Additionally, those with a negative interrogation bias were more likely to hold negative expectancies concerning parenthood. The relationship between this bias and prenatal worry was mediated by negative expectancies. Findings are discussed with regards to limitations and potential implications for expectancy-focused interventions for prenatal worry.
THE MEDIAL FRONTAL CORTEX, PERFORMANCE MONITORING, COGNITIVE CONTROL, AND DECISION MAKING
Authors: Kirschner Hans , Ullsperger Markus
Published: January 2024

This chapter outlines the involvement of the posterior medial frontal cortex (pMFC) in performance monitoring, cognitive control, and decision making. We first describe the neuroanatomy of the pMFC. We then review the functional contributions of the pMFC to performance monitoring, resulting adaptations, and decision making. Based on the evidence reviewed in this chapter, we conclude that a broad array of performance monitoring and decision-making signals are represented in the pMFC. Specific properties of these signals allow the pMFC to monitor performance, implement necessary adjustments, and to perform complex reward and environment structure learning. Future research should consider the substantial interindividual variability of pMFC anatomy to parse out the representations of these signals within the pMFC into finer level of detail.

Authors: Shah Pradeep , Sah Mitali Kumari , Mishra Anand , Bhattrai Rajendra Kumar
Published: January 2024

Two years field experiments were conducted at Directorate of Agricultural Research, Parwanipur, Bara, Nepal from 2016 to 2017 to assess the effect of different hybrid rice varieties and nitrogen levels on yield attributes, yield and economics of rice. The experiment was arranged in two factorial Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. The experiment comprised 12 treatment combinations of three different maturity duration hybrid rice varieties (Arize 6129 Gold, Arize Tej Gold and Arize 6444 Gold) and four nitrogen levels (0, 60, 120 and 180 kg ha-1). The two years combine analysis revealed that the hybrid varieties Arize 6444 Gold (4313 kg ha-1) and Arize Tej Gold (4274 kg ha-1) recorded significantly higher grain yield over Arize 6129 Gold (3731 kg ha-1). These two hybrid varieties (Arize 6444 Gold and Arize Tej Gold) also recorded significantly higher plant length and grains panicle-1. The nitrogen level of 180 kg ha-1 recorded significantly the highest grain yield at 6357 kg ha-1. Effective tiller m-2 and grains panicle-1 were significantly higher with nitrogen level of 180 kg ha-1. The thousand grains weight was found significantly higher with 180 kg N ha-1, which was statistically similar with 60 and 120 kg ha-1. Moreover, interaction effect between nitrogen levels and varieties revealed that Arize 6444 Gold and Arize Tej Gold equally produced the highest mean grain yield with 180 kg N ha-1. The highest gross return, net return and B:C ratio were observed with 180 kg N ha-1 with Arize 6444 Gold and ArizeTej Gold. Therefore, 180 kg N ha-1 could be optimum dose for Arize 6444 Gold and Arize Tej Gold for Parwanipur, Bara, Nepal.

An experiment was conducted in the summer seasons of 2021 and 2022 at the National Agronomy Research Centre's Farm Khumaltar to find out the appropriate row spacing and optimum nitrogen dose for maize. The experiment was laid out in a split plot design where nitrogen levels were allocated in the main plot and row spacing was assigned in subplots. The four different nitrogen levels were 120:60:40 N:P2O5:K2O kg ha-1, 150:60:40 N:P2O5:K2O kg ha-1, 180:60:40 N:P2O5:K2O kg ha-1 and 210:60:40 N: P2O5:K2O kg ha-1. Four different rows spacing were 75 cm, 60 cm, 50 cm and 43 cm. Seeds were sown at 25 cm apart. The individual plot size was 4m x 3m. Maize variety BGBY POP was used in the experiment.  The sowing dates were 6 May and 19 May in 2021 and 2022 respectively. In the combined analysis of two-year data, days to 50% tasseling was found significant in 150:60:40 N: P2O5:K2O kg ha-1 while other traits were found non-significant. The mean grain yield was 4.29 t ha-1. Few traits were found significant in subplot factor i.e., cob diameter (4.38 cm), cob length (16.72 cm), ear height (107.1 cm) and seed per row (28.84) were found superior to other treatments within traits while all other traits in subplot factor were non-significant in pool analysis. Late maize sowing in the second year and rainfall during earthing up affected maize performance and gave lower maize yield. From the experiment, we could say that sowing of maize should be done within the second week of May and more experiments need to be done to conclude nitrogen optimization.

Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is an annual minor grain legume locally known as Bakulla. An experiment on sowing dates and different row spacing was conducted at the National Agronomy Research Centre (NARC) Khumaltar from 2019/20 to 2021/22 to identify suitable sowing dates and row spacing. Three sowing dates (October 24, November 7, and November 21), row spacings (30 cm, 45 cm, and 60 cm), and plant-to-plant spacing of 10 cm were evaluated in a split plot with four replications. Plot size was maintained at 7.2 m2 (2 m x 3.6 m), the variety used was local, and the fertilizer dose applied was 20:40:20 N: P2O5:K2O kg ha-1. At physiological maturity, five plants per plot were sampled randomly for measurements of plant height, number of pods per plant, unfilled pods/plant, and 100 seed weight. Data on 50% flowering, days to 90% maturity, plant height, number of pods per plant, green pod yield, biological yield, and hundred seed weight were recorded. Combined analysis showed that sowing dates significantly influenced days to 50% flowering, final stand/m2, plant height, number of branches per plant, and number of pods per plant. The final stand/m2, plant height, straw dry matter, seed yield, and hundred seed weight were affected significantly by various row spacing. There was no significant interaction effect between sowing dates x row spacing, and all three factors (sowing dates x spacing x year) also had no significant interaction. The year they have significantly influenced all the parameters except 90% maturity and number of pods per plant. Sowing dates x year and spacing x year did not significantly influence all the parameters. Crop sown on October 24 produced the highest grain yield (1571 kg ha-1), followed by November 21 (1354 kg ha-1). Grain yields were significantly higher in 30 cm row spacing (1825 kg ha-1), mainly due to higher plant population per m2 than in 60 cm row spacing. It was concluded that the last week of October and 30 cm row spacing is suitable for faba bean production.

Conservation tillage significantly influence the physico-chemical properties of soil that makes microclimate conducive for crop growth and productivity. The use of chemical fertilizers alone to sustain high crop yield has not been successful due to its effects on soil acidity, nutrient leaching, degradation of soil’s physical properties and organic matter. Higher levels of soil organic carbon, microbial biomass of carbon and nitrogen, nitrogen mineralization, total nitrogen and extractable phosphorus are directly related to crop residues under conservation tillage management. Conservation agriculture (minimum or no tillage with residue retention and crop rotation) practices has potential for increasing the nutrient supply to crops through changes in the mineralization and immobilization of nutrients by microbial biomass and provide an eco-protective environment for sustainable production. Conservation agriculture reduces nutrient percolation/leaching from the soil profile, can redistribute the soil profiles thus affects nutrient supply, and its storage. Entire soil-plant continuum changes after the conversion from conventional agriculture to conservation agriculture. The review therefore highlights the nutrient dynamics under crop residue management with no or minimum tillage.

Authors: Keyal Niraj Kumar , Nepal Pankaj Raj , Tamrakar Karuna
Published: January 2024

Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus is a common cause of ventriculoperitoneal shunt meningitis. It carries high morbidity and mortality. We present a case of 8-year male who presented with extradural hematoma secondary to trauma. The patient underwent craniotomy and evacuation of hematoma. Ventriculoperitoneal shunt was placed for hydrocephalus and was discharged home. After one month, he developed fever, abdominal pain and altered sensorium and was diagnosed as pyogenic meningitis secondary to Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Patient was treated with Vancomycin and Meropenem and the shunt was exteriorized, but there was no clinical improvement over next three days. Linezolid was initiated. After two days, there was improvement in fever and headache. The distal end of shunt was removed. After 21 days of medical and surgical management of meningitis and hydrocephalus, patient was discharged home. Linezolid may be helpful as a second line treatment of Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus associated ventriculoperitoneal shunt meningitis in patients who fail to respond to Vancomycin.

Key audit tools were identified and classified depending on the stage of the audit, the goal setting of the procedure (compliance or efficiency), and the qualitative characteristics of the audit assignment (customer satisfaction or rationality); General directions and differences in the development trends of audit tools and other types of auditors’ activities have been identified. Conclusion. The identified critical technologies are aimed at maximizing the efficiency of audit activities through risk-based planning, reducing the possibility of manipulating the results of procedures by means of objectification, predicting significant distortions, parameterizing risks and assessing the results of procedures, regulating the qualitative characteristics of the methods used at the levels of the audit organization and the professional association of auditors.
Wordsworth's Romanticism in the Light of the Poem “Munajat Arwah” of Khalil Gibran: A Study
Authors: Rahman Sofiur
Published: January 2024

Literature has a long history, and it shows that many writers and thinkers have helped start, develop, enrich, and bring about major changes or literary catalysts in the genre they work in. Not only do they start a new trend, but they also create a completely new way of writing, often against all odds and expectations. They change the way literature is written now and in the future. Gibran A famous writer, Khalil Gibran (1883–1931), owned such a thing. He is praised for his work as a novelist, philosopher, poet, and artist. Gibran In spite of being born in Lebanon, Khalil Gibran lived most of his life in the United States. He learned about the ideas of English Romanticism while living there. Wordsworth, Blake, Shelley, and Keats were some of the most famous Romantic poets. It was because of him and his later work with the Ar-rabitah group of AL-Mahjer poets that Arabic Romanticism began, which was a reaction against Arabic neoclassical poetry. People say that Romanticism is the return to nature. The poet's mind is affected by nature, and nature responds to the poet's mind in a way that is coloured by imagination. In this way, nature becomes a major theme in the poems of William Wordsworth, who is known as the founder of English Romanticism and a literary legend. One important way that Wordsworth's love of nature shows itself is in the way he insisted on shifting the focus from city life to country life. Gibran also felt the same way about this shift, filled with nostalgia and regret for how factory smoke had changed country life. Gibran writes about nature in a way that is a lot like Wordsworth's in his famous book Munajat Arwah (Communion of Spirits), which came out in 1914. As a result, this poem is used to show how the English Romantic poet shaped Gibran's vision of nature's beauty as superior to life in cities, which is filled with pollution and waste.

The Role of Non – Aligned Movement in United Nations Peacekeeping Operations
Authors: Kumar Basuki
Published: January 2024

Since the end of the cold war the number of peacekeeping operations has increased. The main reason is that the developing countries have seen greater instability due to increased religious and ethnic conflicts. Moreover ,it is a fact that the United Nations Peacekeeping operations are implemented within the territories of non-aligned countries. In this context a degree of consent of the host state remains a necessity. Hence ,the scholars argue that there is a scope for the non- aligned developing countries to play a burden sharing role in these operations and ensure their neutrality.
Policy Design for a Wellbeing Economy—Lessons from Four City Pilots
Authors: Hough-Stewart Lisa , Janoo Amanda
Published: January 2024

Interest is growing in the idea of Wellbeing Economies—economic systems designed with the wellbeing of people and planet as a starting point. Governments around the world are increasingly curious about new measures of success that go beyond GDP and about transformative processes to help get there.

The Wellbeing Economy Alliance (WEAll) was established in 2018 to accelerate the shift to wellbeing economies, and to amplify and support the growing movement helping to make it happen. This includes the Wellbeing Economy Governments partnership, which comprises New Zealand, Iceland, Finland, Scotland, and Wales, a group of small nations demonstrating leadership and practising collaboration as they strive to prioritise wellbeing in economic decision-making. As a growing movement, the Wellbeing Economy has a lot to offer city-level efforts to transform toward low-carbon, socially just, and ecologically viable economies and communities. This commentary shares an overview of the Wellbeing Economy, ways it has been piloted in cities to date, and key lessons for urban practitioners, policymakers, and residents.

WEAll has developed a Wellbeing Economy Policy Design Guide that outlines practical, participatory processes for policymakers and their partners who want to bring Wellbeing Economy ideas to life. In 2021–22, it carried out city-level pilots in four locations: Pomona, California; Toronto, Canada; Porirua, Aotearoa New Zealand; and Perth, Scotland. Working with local governments and community partners, they took diverse approaches but nonetheless learned shared lessons. Across all four pilots, it was clear that such transformational policy work takes time, must be relationship-based, should embrace emergence, and is most effective when strength-based rather than problem-based.
DEVELOPING A MICRO CLUSTER MODEL FOR SUBURBAN TOURISM: THE CASE OF WEKERLE ESTATE, BUDAPEST
Authors: Pécsek Brigitta
Published: January 2024

This research shifts the focus to suburban tourism within the context of urban tourism thus making metropolitan areas less congested and showcasing urban authenticity for tourists. It proposes a micro cluster model for suburban tourism and illustrates its applicability in a suburb of Budapest called Wekerle Estate. The suburb was developed at the beginning of the 20th century by adopting the garden city concept and still boasts a lively community. However, it needs a framework to embrace tourism in a sustainable way. The qualitative research uses the ethnographic method to explore what Wekerle Estate offers for tourists and where its weaknesses are in terms of hospitality. Based on the findings a micro cluster model is prepared in this study and it gives recommendations for Wekerle Estate to evolve as an authentic tourist destination. This paper contributes to the research of suburbs from the urban tourism angle that has so far been neglected in the field of tourism.
INFLUENCE OF PERCEIVED QUALITY ON THE OVERALL SATISFACTION EXPERIENCE OF HOTEL GUESTS
Authors: Vuković Dijana , Kerum Fani , Šipić Neven
Published: January 2024

The hotel industry has seen many changes in the last few years, some of which can be attributed to the quickening pace of technological advancement, shifting traveler preferences due to health concerns, and turbulent political and economic events that forced hotel management to place a premium on product and service quality. To thrive in a progressively cutthroat market, lodging establishments need to be prepared to adjust and tweak their operational procedures. Aware of the fact that users very quickly leave hotel accommodations whose services do not meet their expectations, needs, and desires and go to the competition. Therefore, prominent hotel chains, on the one hand, take into account the needs and wishes of their guests, and on the other hand, the quality of service in the hotel, but also the final destination, i.e. the very appearance and impression of the destination. In the hotel industry, achieving acceptable quality is a difficult process that calls for specific knowledge and abilities in every department as well as essential communication with hotel employees. Only consistently trained staff members who are committed to guest satisfaction can effectively manage quality in a hotel, which eventually boosts earnings, reduces expenses, and adds value to the establishment. This study looked into how a guest’s overall perception of the hotel and its services was affected by the expected caliber of that service. Hypothesis One: Perceived quality of service in a hotel is positively influenced by the hotel’s physical environment, attractiveness and construction of the destination, interaction with employees, and accompanying services and amenities in the hotel. Hypothesis Two: The pronounced heterogeneity of hotel service users, their motives for choosing a hotel, and the necessity of interactions with hotel staff are positively correlated with the perception of the level of service quality in the hotel. The paper will test hypotheses regarding the relationship between the physical hotel environment, its attractiveness, the destination’s construction, interactions with staff, and the hotel’s amenities and ancillary services and perceived quality of service. Simultaneously, an attempt will be made to ascertain the relationship between the reason for selecting the hotel and the perceived quality of services offered, as well as the importance of interacting and fostering a good rapport with service providers.
INFLATION AND INCOMES POLICY UNDER A CURRENCY BOARD: THE BULGARIAN CASE
Authors: Todorov Ivan , Patonov Nikolay
Published: January 2024

This study examines the relationship between nominal salary and inflation in Bulgaria under a currency board. A theoretical background of the connection between incomes policy and inflation is provided. Autoregression with distributed lag (ARDL) is employed to analyze the relationship between the percentage change of average nominal salary, the rate of inflation, and the percentage change of average real labor productivity. The time-series data include observations from the third quarter of 1997 to the first quarter of 2022. The study results indicate the existence of both short-term and long-term relationships between inflation and the nominal change in average salary. It is also found that the link between the changes in nominal salary and real labor productivity is broken both in the short and the long term.

Object: To study the interrelation of demographic processes in the context of the most pressing global issues related to water resources, climate, energy migration, and demoethical values as a tool for the transformation of sustainable development in society.Methods: The study utilizes the concept of Demoethics, which is based on the priority of spirituality as the basis for a new stage or model of sustainable development in society, which involves integrating the demographic, socioeconomic, and ecological components into the overall processes of modeling.Findings: The proposed approach focuses on organizing activities to improve sustainable development. In particular, a demographic model is presented, which is important for the Society 5.0 and Industry 5.0 organizations. Through literature review and analysis, this research identifies key issues in the sustainable development of the demographic component of the economy based on the demoethical model and provides practical recommendations for stakeholders involved in digital transformation.Conclusions: In order to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) for countries, civil society, and international institutions by 2030, commitments have been made to accomplish a range of tasks, from reducing extreme poverty to ensuring environmental sustainability and universal education, reducing child mortality, and promoting gender equality. Despite the fact that adaptation activities directly contribute to achieving SDG 13, which focuses on taking action against climate change, it should be seen as part of a strategy to strengthen a country's achievements in implementing all other SDGs based on the value of Demoethics.Expected results: The results of this study can serve as a basis for supporting targeted policies and the transformation of demographic components of the economy.
Оценка модели экономического поведения населения при потреблении опекаемых благ, с учетом неоднородности предпочтений
Authors: Спанкулова Л.С. , Белянин А.В. , Букатов Е.Б.
Published: January 2024

Цель: Цель исследования — оценка модели экономического поведения и ее параметров предпочтений населения при потреблении опекаемых благ, с учетом неоднородности предпочтений.Методы: В статье использовался подход, основанный на теории перспектив Канемана–Тверски. Социологический опрос, проведенный с участием 2714 респондентов, также связан с концепцией Канемана–Тверски. Исходя из этого, логично было бы посмотреть на «loss aversion» («неприятие потерь») в контексте «WTA–WTP discrepancy» («WTA» — «willingness to accept («готовность принять компенсацию»); «WTP» — «willingness to pay» («готовность платить»)): люди могут пренебрегать покупкой нужных им лекарств, ибо (ошибочно) считают, что деньги нужны им для чего-то более важного, например, демонстративного потребления.Результаты: В статье была составлена базовая модель «готовности платить за страховой медицинский полис», с учетом «mental accounting». При покупке страхового полиса индивид сравнивает полезности, так при наступлении страхового случая ущерб для застрахованного индивида будет равен нулю. Индивид может не покупать страховой полис, так как риск заболеть — субъективная вероятность, а в случае покупки медицинского страхования индивид будет нести расходы на содержание полиса. На готовность платить за медицинский полис положительно сказывались ответы респондентов: «Сколько тратится денег в месяц на лекарства для семьи?» и «самооценка здоровья» с вариантами «хорошее», «удовлетворительное» и «очень плохое».Выводы: В 2023 году около 3,3 миллиона казахстанцев не были застрахованы в системе обязательного социального медицинского страхования в Казахстане. Для привлечения незастрахованных граждан в систему медицинского страхования в стране активно обсуждаются меры по стимулированию и принуждению незастрахованного населения. Учитывая, что большинство расходов казахстанцев в здравоохранении приходится на лекарственные средства, в стране созрела необходимость внедрения системы лекарственного страхования. Участие населения в лекарственном страховании зависит от экономического и финансового поведения самого населения. Поэтому разработанный количественный инструментарий показывает уровень оценки готовности населения оплачивать страховой полис. Учитывая ограниченность государственного финансирования системы здравоохранения, созрела необходимость развивать другие методы оплаты медицинской помощи, такие как добровольное медицинское страхование на условиях софинансирования, сооплата за лекарства и т.д.

Authors: Saif Sajida , Safdar Samina
Published: January 2024

This qualitative case study aimed to explore the reflective teaching practices used by teacher educators in their classrooms for professional learning and development in Pakistan. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with two experienced teacher educators from a public university. Using within-case and cross-case analysis, data analysis uncovered themes related to interactive teaching methods, student feedback, self-reflection, collegial support, evaluation techniques, and contextual constraints. The results of the study revealed that teacher educators used reflection-on-action and reflection-for-action techniques for the improvement of their teaching. However, they faced some barriers while implementing these practices in classrooms due to contextual settings. The study’s findings emphasise the need for institutional support and the provision of professional development opportunities to teacher educators for facilitating reflective teaching practices. The study contributes meaningful insights into teacher educators’ experiences employing reflective practices in their unique contexts.
