Türkiye’de Eğitim Yöneticilerinin Kullandıkları İletişim Stratejileri ve Karşılaştıkları İletişim Problemlerinin İncelenmesi
Authors: Sağlam Mehmet
Published: November 2024

Communication is considered as a structure that forms the basis of social life, a method that shows and influences individual behavior patterns, a means of realizing the orderly operation of organizational and administrative systems, a mandatory art for social cohesion and a necessary science in terms of social processes. Effective communication between the employees of the institution is ensured thanks to the successful and selfless initiatives of the education managers working in educational institutions in the educational management processes. Dec. A strong and different communication established by managers with their employees reveals a special difference for that institution. The qualities of the feedback that managers will provide during mutual communication with their employees should be to the situation, event, main, behavior, precise, transparent, clear, structured and should not be general-oriented. In educational management, the educational manager should examine a certain behavior pattern and measurement, not individuals or individuals' desires and characters, when communicating with those who are managed. In education management, managers should aim to help those who work in educational institutions while communicating, instead of criticizing and identifying shortcomings. The most effective and effective role of management in educational management is communication. The manager's ability to adjust and perform activities such as interviews with his interlocutors, instructions he will give, task sharing, feedback and decision-making according to the people and the environment in front of him in a functional way shows the strength of his communication skills. In educational management, a good administrator is a person who performs communication well and manages it well for the reason of his subject. This situation is based on the good communication ability of the educational institution manager. The mission of educational institutions due to good communication with both students and parents to provide mandating the presence of a teacher's communication skills because the process has become important. There is an idea that satisfaction will not occur in systems where there is no solid communication. But the real problem is in the question or negative attitudes toward the element to be located where the organization is pleased with the transformation of ideas showing. Today, more than one problem is encountered due to lack of communication within the school structures. These problems appear to us as negative feelings and insecurities towards a person, group, ideas or institution, characterized by prevention, loss of hope and disappointment.

MODELING COMMERCIAL BANKS' KEY DRIVERS FOR FUND MOBILIZATION IN NIGERIA USING ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS
Authors: Light C. , Nwaobia G. E.
Published: November 2024

This study explores the core role driving the willingness of commercial banks to mobilise funds for economic development based on the Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) of the artificial neural network (ANN) technique. This approach allows for a nuanced understanding of interdependencies that traditional linear models may overlook, making it particularly suited for analyzing intricate financial systems in emerging economies like Nigeria. This study is critically supported by the Financial Intermediation Theory, which explains the role of financial institutions as intermediaries that facilitate the flow of funds from savers to borrowers. Data used for the analysis and prediction is purposively obtained from 10 commercial banks in Nigeria. The results show that financial institutions are mostly driven to mobilize funds because of their commitment to ensuring an adequate flow of money to serve the deficit sectors of the economy compared to any other underlying reasons. The prediction performs optimally with an r2 value of 86.5% with a cubic predictability model of ????. ???????????????? +????. ???????????? + ????. ???????????????? − ????. ???????????????? − ????. ???????? = ????.????????????????, and the Sum of Square Error (SSE) of 0.002 is minimal based on practice. This study is significant as it could enable financial institutions to make future role predictions relating to this concept in Nigerian settings or other settings analogous to Nigeria using the derived ANN model. These insights provide a basis for banks in Nigeria and similar economies to make strategic financial decisions, supporting the application of ANN models to predict and enhance financial institutions' roles in economic development.
Qur’ānic Worldview and the Environment
Authors: Aamir Rabia
Published: November 2024

This article analyses the prophethood of Muḥammad (peace be on him) as the Creator’s environmentally balanced strategy to achieve a secure and sustainable future for humanity. In line with the principles of innovating on the margins, this article foregrounds the purpose, need, and rationale for presenting such an altruistic environmental ethicist to the world. Negotiating through the environmental ethical debates of utilitarianism, deontology, virtue ethics, and the Qur’ānic worldview, the article argues that a study of the rationale for the Prophet Muḥammad’s prophethood brings an acute awareness of intrinsic environmental ethics and allows Muslims to understand why the Qur’ānic weltanschauung underscores the importance of such a complete human benefactor or a perfect environmental ethicist for the world. It also puts forth the relevance of such a study for navigating the mayhem of contemporary social affairs.
Doctrine of Hijrah and Emergence of Muslim Communities in the West
Authors: Ifraq Tahira
Published: November 2024

The presence of Muslims in the West is not recent; their existence in the West dates back centuries. Like other minority groups, Muslims, as a religious minority, have been influenced by their circumstances. Human migration has impacted the culture, lifestyle, and habits of indigenous peoples, as migrants bring their faiths and religious traditions with them. Historically, migration occurred from the East to the West and vice versa for centuries. However, in the last two centuries, this migration has primarily been from developing to developed countries in search of a better future and employment opportunities. The doctrine of hijrah (migration) in Muslim legal thought, along with the emergence of Muslim communities in non-Muslim regions and their interactions with non-Muslims, has long been a subject of discussion among Muslim jurists. This research explores the formation of Muslim communities in non-Muslim countries and assesses the current situation in light of historical and contemporary discourses. Therefore, discussing classical concepts related to migration and the past and present emergence of Muslims in the West is appropriate. This article analyses various writings of classical and contemporary Muslim scholars on the issues of hijrah and Muslims’ settlement in the West.
Beyond Tradition
Authors: Aras Zakir
Published: November 2024

This article examines the tradition of Qur’ānic exegesis before Jamāl al-Dīn al-Afghānī (d. 1897) and the innovative approaches, he introduced, to the discipline. Using an inductive method, it analyses his books, articles, and speeches. Before him, Qur’ānic exegesis was dominated by classical methods focused on syntax, grammar, jurisprudence, and theology, failing to meet contemporary needs. Al-Afghānī did not write any Qur’ānic commentary in the classical style. Still, his articles on Qur’ānic themes in al-‘Urwah al-Wuthqā resemble independent exegeses, following a late Ottoman style. He advocated for a subjective and critical reading, centring only on the Qur’ān and rejecting linguistically focused exegesis. He emphasized the Qur’ān’s relevance to contemporary issues, highlighting its social, cultural, anthropological, and political messages.

Published: November 2024

This article is devoted to the analysis of the HACCP system in the meat industry. Special attention is paid to the importance of ensuring the safety of meat products at all stages of the production process. As an example, the production of meat paste «Branded» with the addition of meat and bone paste is considered. Seven principles of the HACCP system are given, starting with risk analysis and ending with documentation procedures. A detailed analysis of the hazards at each stage of the technological process of meat paste production is described. Critical control points (CCTS) are identified for each process, which require special control to prevent or minimize the risk of contamination of products by pathogenic microorganisms. The study was conducted at a meat production facility in Semey.

An experimental batch of meat paste was developed, in which five critical control points were identified: raw material acceptance, blanching, cooking, cooling and packaging/storage. The successful implementation of the HACCP system at the meat processing plant has led to a significant reduction in the content of pollutants, ensuring compliance with safety standards and increasing consumer confidence. These results confirm the need for broader implementation of HACCP principles to create a safer and more sustainable food supply chain.
EFFICIENT COPPER EXTRACTION FROM CHALCOPYRITE USING THE «GLYCOLIC ACID – ETHYLENE GLYCOL – SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE» SYSTEM
Authors: Kenzhaliyev B. , Ketegenov T. , Kamunur K. , Batkal A. , Nadirov R.
Published: November 2024

This research explores a sustainable and efficient method for extracting copper from chalcopyrite, utilizing an innovative leaching system composed of glycolic acid, ethylene glycol, and sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS). The optimal conditions identified were 1,0 M glycolic acid, 20% (v/v) ethylene glycol, 0,8% (w/v) SLS, and a temperature of 75°C, achieving up to 85% copper recovery. Glycolic acid plays a dual role, promoting the breakdown of the chalcopyrite structure and stabilizing copper ions in the solution. SLS improves the leaching efficiency by disrupting the passivating sulfur layer, allowing for better solution penetration. Additionally, ethylene glycol prevents the precipitation of sulfur, further enhancing the process. The combination of these components creates a synergistic effect that improves copper recovery while minimizing environmental impact. The findings suggest that this leaching system could serve as a sustainable and efficient alternative to the traditional pyrometallurgical methods, offering potential applications in industrial copper recovery processes.

Abstract: paper considers and reflects new dimensions of New Cold War geostrategic balance implications at pan-regional (European) and regional (Black Sea) levels. Currently adopted new challenges in the military doctrine of the Russian Federation envisages engagement into two military conflicts simultaneously and constructed its strategic operational framework founded on incorporation of three combat elements: military, non-military and information warfare measures and proper concepts. Hence, it means that Russia can begin war-game scenarios at the same time against two neighboring nations as it occurs at time being against Ukraine and Georgia. A transformation of war strategy and geostrategic culture (it is a new jargon affiliated with cardinal shifting of strategic operational planning in wargame scenarios at global and regional levels). Hence, the process of geostrategic culture transformation occurring currently whilst introducing Fifth War Generation concept replacing the previous one due to the high technical achievements and technological introduction into the neo-modernist war dynamics itself. Generally to say, a fifth generation warfare is an attempt to accomplish strategic objectives through the use of propaganda and information attack vectors. It's carried out by unknown actors for unknown reasons. Even if the core enemy is identified, the victim nation will not be able to understand the purpose or end goal. The goal of the paper is to realize how the geostrategic cultural transformation takes place at regional level and reflection on what type of influence high-level technologies effect on war process itself.

Health promotion is a crucial component of public health, particularly in the context of the global "triple burden of disease," which includes the ongoing challenge of persistent communicable diseases, the management of emerging infections, and the control of the notable rise in non-communicable chronic diseases. Globalization, urbanization, technological advancements, and improved travel accessibility have facilitated progress but have also presented intricate challenges to public health, including sedentary lifestyles, unhealthy dietary practices, and heightened susceptibility to environmental health risks. The increase in unhealthy behaviors, including tobacco use, poor dietary choices, and physical inactivity, underscores the importance of health awareness in disease prevention. Public health functions at various levels to enhance community health by employing education, awareness, and behavioral change initiatives that utilize psychological theories to analyze the determinants of health-related decision-making. Campaign effectiveness is typically assessed through pre- and post-intervention comparisons to evaluate impact, particularly for initiatives aimed at behavioral changes, including smoking cessation, healthy eating, and disease prevention. Policymakers, non-governmental organizations, and international agencies, such as the United Nations and WHO, endorse health campaigns addressing issues from obesity prevention to tobacco use reduction.

One of the principles of radiation protection is optimization. Optimization is done to make the dose received as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) by considering economic and social factors. Implementation of radiation protection optimization can be done with dose management through the Local Diagnostic Reference Level (DRL). In recent years, the Nuclear Energy Regulatory Agency (BAPETEN) has set the Indonesian DRL value for several X-ray modalities, including dental panoramic. This study was motivated by panoramic patient dose audit data using the auto mode exposure factor, which operators often use. The method for determining the manual mode exposure factor is carried out by comparing the image quality of the current variations of 6.3 mA, 8 mA, 10 mA, 13 mA, and 16 mA with a fixed voltage of 66 kV and a time of 14.1 seconds. The local DRL value was obtained by comparing the dental panoramic auto mode measurements with manual mode using certain exposure factors according to the recommendations in the initial study using a head phantom. This study used 100 patient data with adult human criteria aged over 15. The results obtained from the initial study and questionnaires in manual mode were the values that had the highest CNR and SNR at a current variation of 10 mA. The exposure factor was then used to collect patient data. The local DRL value obtained for auto mode was 83.35 mGy cm2; in manual mode, it was 57.7 mGy cm2. Manual mode exposure factors in dental panoramic examinations affected the implementation of local DRL values with a decrease of 30.77% from auto mode. The use of manual mode in dental panoramic examinations significantly reduces the radiation dose received by patients, so the use of manual mode is one of the steps to optimize radiation protection. Keywords: Diagnostic Reference Level (DRL), optimization of radiation protection in patients, dental panoramic.

Published: November 2024

Background: Adult humeral shaft fractures have traditionally been managed conservatively, but surgical intervention is considered for displaced fractures or when conservative treatment is unlikely to be successful. The optimal surgical approach remains controversial, with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) using plates and screws considered the gold standard. However, concerns about soft tissue damage have led to the development of less invasive techniques, such as anterior bridge plating using minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO). This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of MIPO for humeral shaft fractures.Methods: A prospective cohort study included 43 patients who underwent anterior bridge plating with MIPO for closed, displaced humeral shaft fractures. Forty patients had full follow-up (functional and radiological) and three patients were lost to follow-up. Fractures were classified using the AO classification system. Surgical technique involved incision, reduction, and fixation with locking compression plates. Follow-up assessments were conducted at various intervals, and functional outcomes were evaluated.Results: Fracture union was achieved in 38 of 40 patients (95%). Two patients required secondary bone grafts for non-union. The mean time to union was between 12 and 16 weeks. Excellent shoulder function was observed in 82.5% of patients, and excellent elbow function in 77.5%. The range of motion on the operated side differed statistically significantly from the nonoperated side but was not clinically significant.Conclusions: MIPO with anterior bridge plating is a viable option for the surgical management of humeral shaft fractures. It offers good fracture healing rates and satisfactory functional outcomes and avoids extensive soft tissue dissection associated with ORIF.Level of evidence: II.
Surgical treatment options of displaced midshaft fractures of the clavicle in young adults: plate fixation versus intramedullary nailing
Authors: Kim Ji Un , Yoon Ji Young , Park Hyung Jun , Park Jung Ho
Published: November 2024

Background: This study aimed to compare the outcomes and complications of active young adults undergoing open reduction and plate fixation (ORPF) and intramedullary nailing (IMN) for displaced midshaft clavicle fractures (MCFs).Methods: A retrospective review was performed on all patients undergoing ORPF and IMN of complete MCFs at a single center between 2018 and 2022. Patients who were younger than 60 years with radiographic follow-up until union were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 33.1 years. Outcome measures were achievement of union, time to healing, residual deformity, complications, and need for additional procedures.Results: Of 39 patients, 29 underwent ORPF and 10 underwent IMN. Plate fixation provided faster functional recovery in the first 6 months, but no difference was observed after 1 year. All fractures in the IMN group healed (100%), compared to 90% in the ORPF group (P=0.08). Mean time to union was 21±8.9 weeks and was significantly different between the two groups (P<0.01), with the ORPF group averaging 23.1 weeks and the IMN group 20.8 weeks. Nonunion rates were higher in the ORPF group (10.3%) than in the IMN group (0%), but the difference was not significant (P=0.08).Conclusions: Both methods restored patients to their pre-injury functional levels. However, IMN, with its higher healing rate, fewer required revision surgeries, and lower incisional numbness, appears to be the preferred method for treating MSFs without comminution in young adults.Level of evidence: III.

Agriculture is confronted with the imperative to enhance output while simultaneously ensuring increased profitability and minimizing ecological repercussions. Consequently, digital technologies have emerged as essential instruments for the acquisition of data, the analysis of information, and the facilitation of decision-making. The digital platform AgDataBox (ADB, https://adb.md.utfpr.edu.br/map) provides no-cost computational resources for agricultural professionals, scholars, and service entities, with a focus on Precision Agriculture (PA) by integrating data, software, protocols, and methodologies to facilitate agricultural progress through the utilization of open-access technologies. The purpose of this study was to examine how users assess the ADB-Map. The AgDataBox Map (ADB-Map) application works with spatial data to create thematic maps and management zones to subsidize PA and digital agriculture. The ADB-Map functionalities are divided into different layers, composed of (i) a back-end, which contains algorithms and rules of business operation, and (ii) a front-end, which is the interface of interaction with the user. By applying the evaluation methods suggested by NBR ISO/IEC 14598-6 across all areas, the ADB-Map achieved scores above 85% (the standard mandates a minimum of 70%), and an overall score of 92% was achieved. Hence, we believe users widely accept the software.

Na visão neoliberal, a educação é uma mercadoria pessoal e sugere-se que as escolas sejam administradas como empresas. Nas últimas décadas, a educação pública em diversos países passou por profundas transformações, remodelada por políticas neoliberais de cima para baixo, segundo as quais o sucesso de escolas, professores e alunos é medido por resultados de testes quantitativos e padronizados. Nessa visão, a educação enquanto mercadoria pessoal tem como função exclusiva a transmissão e transferência de conhecimento aos alunos para que eles possam ter sucesso em exames e provas. A evidência de transmissão bem-sucedida é fornecida pelos resultados dos testes nacionais e internacionais. Escolas e sistemas são ranqueados a partir da avaliação de resultados da suposta aprendizagem dos alunos. Aumentar as pontuações dos testes torna-se, assim, o foco principal e, dessa forma, os professores são relegados ao papel de transmitir um currículo preparado externamente, “à prova de professor”, com o objetivo de preparar os alunos para testes padronizados. Os alunos são enquadrados como consumidores passivos de conhecimento e, dessa forma, há pouca necessidade de diálogo, participação ativa, colaboração ou investigação orientada para novas possibilidades. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste artigo é revisar a literatura relativa a três domínios principais relevantes para este artigo: neoliberalismo, teorias da educação crítica e alfabetização financeira crítica, uma vez que está situada no corpo mais amplo da literatura sobre educação financeira. Primeiro, será analisado o neoliberalismo pelas lentes da Teoria Crítica. Em seguida, será fornecido um relato conciso do neoliberalismo e seu poder hegemônico, concentrando-se em suas implicações educacionais para a alfabetização financeira crítica do ensino fundamental e na conexão entre educação e democracia. Será examinada a natureza evolutiva da Teoria Crítica e os princípios da Pedagogia Crítica, para que se construa uma estrutura teórica para o estudo, elaborado a partir das ideias complementares de Habermas e Freire e apresentada a lacuna teórica, a partir da qual construiremos uma proposta curricular à alfabetização financeira crítica.

Published: November 2024

Biofortified farming activities in Kuala Dua Village are expected to be sustainable. This sustainability can be done if all biofortification farming ideas are initiated from the creative ideas of farmers. The model resulting from this research is a creative idea of farmers that will involve context, change and diversity, all of which must be supported by industry, financial institutions, resources, institutions and technology by considering technical, economic, social and environmental considerations, as well as the accuracy of biofortified agricultural facilities and infrastructure, ranging from the accuracy of the type, target, price, time, place and quality. All of this holistically must be under the supervision of the government, entrepreneurs and intellectuals. This model is expected to have an impact on achieving a rice cropping index of 300 with an average production of between 6 tonnes to 7 tonnes per hectare. The result of this biofortified farming will produce Zyng-rich rice for stunting prevention in Kuala Dua village

Published: November 2024

Virtual simulation experiment serves as a bridge that organically connects innovation and entrepreneurship classes with professional quality education, fostering a talent cultivation ecosystem that supports high-quality economic development and exerts significant social influence. Currently, there are many shortcomings and bottlenecks in both virtual simulation experiment and the teaching process. This paper discusses the necessity and objectives of the virtual simulation experiment course for enterprise decision-making based on multilateral dynamic game, experimental principles, experimental characteristics, and experimental steps under the principle of "being real and not fictitious, simulating reality with virtuality, and grounding in reality". The experimental platform utilizes real business case that participants can freely choose. Through online human-computer interaction and interaction, as well as offline team discussions, participants are empowered to make independent decisions throughout the experiment. With the assistance of system prompts and task-driven guidance, participants can autonomously complete the experiment. This paper aims to promote the establishment of a virtual simulation experiment platform for enterprise decision-making based on multilateral dynamic game, specifically designed for business students, contributing to the construction of a strong higher education nation.
