Yoksulluk bireyin yaşamını birçok yönden etkileyen ve temel haklara ulaşımına engel olan, hak ihlallerine sebep veren çok boyutlu bir kavram olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Yoksulluktan en çok etkilenen grupların başında şüphesiz çocuklar gelmektedir. Günümüz dünyasında yoksul bir ailede doğmuş olması bir çocuğun yaşama, sağlık, barınma ve eğitim gibi temel insan hakları haklarına ulaşamamasına yol açabilmektedir. Bu haklara ulaşamayan çocuklar yoksullukla beraber suça sürüklenme, sosyal dışlanma, damgalanma gibi diğer birçok sorunla da mücadele etmek zorunda kalmaktadır. Tüm bu sorunlar çocukların yoksulluktan çıkış için kullanabilecekleri en önemli araç olan eğitime ulaşamamalarına da sebep olmaktadır. Yoksulluktan kaynaklı çocukların eğitim hakkına erişememelerinin en temel sebeplerinden birisi akran zorbalığıdır. Yoksullukla mücadele eden çocuk, akranları tarafından yoksul olmasından dolayı sosyal dışlanma ve damgalamaya maruz kalabilmektedir. Bu davranışlara maruz kalan çocuğun okula karşı duyduğu aidiyet duygusunda azalma meydana gelerek okuldan uzaklaşabilmesine neden olabilmektedir. Böylece çocuk eğitim hakkına ulaşamamış olup, hak ihlaliyle karşı karşıya kalmaktadır. Yoksulluk gibi çok boyutlu bir kavramın yaratmış olduğu bu hak ihlalinin giderilebilmesi için çok boyutlu bakış açısı ve multidisipliner bir müdahale süreci gerekmektedir. Bu nedenle okul sosyal hizmeti ile okul psikolojik danışmanlığı biriminin uyum ve iş birliği içerisinde çalışarak kapsamlı ve çok boyutlu müdahaleler gerçekleştirmeleri gerekmektedir. Gerçekleştirilen bu çalışma kapsamında, yoksulluk nedeniyle ortaya çıkan sosyal dışlanma ve akran zorbalığı sonucunda oluşan hak ihlalinin ortadan kaldırılmasına yönelik, kurgusal bir vakanın sosyal hizmet planlı müdahale süreci aşamalarında gerçekleştirilen uygulamalarla aktarılması amaçlanmıştır. Çok boyutlu sosyal hizmet müdahalesinden elde edilen sonuç ve önerilere değinilecektir.

The Dynamics of Marginalization, Citizenship and ‘Nation-of-Intent’ in Malaysia
Authors: Tang Abdullah Nur Atiqah
Published: December 2024

Malaysia struggles with national identity, ethnic diversity, and inclusive citizenship through a historical and sociopolitical lens. Malaysia’s political landscape is marked by a unique blend of multiculturalism, economic disparities, and regional divides. With a diverse population comprising multiple ethnic groups, the challenge of creating a cohesive national identity while respecting cultural distinctions has always been a central issue. The challenge is to find ways of addressing and theorizing unconscious ideas in divergent patterns of the nation, especially in Malaysia, which can be fragmented and contradictory and which cut across the traditional fault lines of ethnicity. Therefore, there is an opportunity for the concept of ‘nation-of-intent’ to be explicitly organized around ideas, identification and patterns which are recognizably multiple and sometimes, unstable, with visible contradictions in the Malaysian citizens ‘personal locations.’

Oil Revenue Management in South Sudan
Authors: Atem Paul Gal
Published: December 2024

Purpose: This article examined the framework for oil revenue management, oil sharing and oil for sustainable peace with a view to applying it in South Sudan.
Methodology: Qualitative methodology was used. Purposive sampling of 100 respondents were used in the study which comprised of officials from the Ministry of Finance and economic planning, Ministry of petroleum, Members of parliament community activists and community members. Data was gathered from interviews, public available materials, articles and reports, and email exchanges.
Findings: The study examined the sources of petroleum revenue to enhance assessment, structure of the legislation and institutions regulating the petroleum oil sector for efficient application. The study argued that prudent management of petroleum revenue should be measured through the indicators of transparency and accountability, sustainable development, sovereign wealth fund, low corruption level, socio-economic well-being, good health and sustainable environment. The study further argued that decrees for frequent removal of the finance ministers and bank of South Sudan governors contributes to lack of planning hence a further mismanagement of the oil revenues.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: The study therefore recommended streamlining the legislation and institutions, block revenue leakages and guarantee sustainable development. Revenue generated from petroleum oil resources should properly be utilized for socio-economic growth of the nation. The study urged the National Assembly to enact a statute that would harmonize the diverse legislation and institutions and cause them to operate strictly in accordance with the principles of good governance, transparency and accountability. On revenue sharing, the study proposes the adoption of the Alaska model by investing its petroleum revenue windfall in a Permanent Fund that will establish a basis for economic security in the long term.

Authors: Chrisostom Aleri Odaya
Published: December 2024

Purpose: The concept of Inclusivity encourages the inclusion of marginalized groups in the main stream economy. In Kenya, the following groups have been identified as marginalized ie Women, Youth and people living with disabilities. These groups are generally vulnerable economically and socially due to various reasons. The Kenya government has identified Access to Government Procurement Opportunities (AGPO) as a tool for sharing national procurement opportunities with these vulnerable groups. The objective of these paper is to identify Opportunities and Challenges the above groups face as they compete for these reserved opportunities.
Methodology: Four thematic areas were identified as the points of focus. These were training, information access, funding and legal framework as areas that require to be looked at to enhance accessibility and utilization of these reserved Procurement opportunities.
Findings: So far, apart from the advertisement of these opportunities and a few organizations undertaking training of Women, Youth and People Living with Disabilities about the availability of these reserved opportunities, there is little evidence if any that the said groups have benefited from these opportunities.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: This Study provides a framework for understanding how the policies that have been put in place for inclusivity in procurement and Supply Chain Management and how they can contribute to economic development. On policy, the study has shown that despite there being a legal framework that supports inclusivity in procurement and supply chain management, there is need for a deliberate and focused way of ensuring that this is implemented. There is need for proper enforcement of inclusivity in procurement for supply chain for effective inclusion of marginalized groups.

Published: December 2024

O rabanete é uma hortaliça muito consumida ao redor do mundo e a aplicação do nitrogênio aumenta sua capacidade produtiva, tanto de folhas quanto de raízes. Vários resíduos agropecuários possuem nitrogênio em sua composição química, o que os torna possíveis fontes de adubação. Com isso, o objetivo com o presente estudo foi determinar qual a fonte e a dose de fertilizante mais promissoras para a obtenção de melhores resultados produtivos do rabanete cultivar “Crimson Gigante” cultivado em vaso, bem como se houve interação entre as fontes e as doses utilizadas. O experimento foi conduzido no delineamento em blocos completos casualizados em esquema fatorial, com os tratamentos consistindo na combinação de duas fontes de N (cama de aviário (CA) e fertilizante + microrganismos (FM)) e 6 doses de N (0; 30; 60; 90; 120 e 200 kg ha-1), em quatro repetições. Observou-se que há alteração no número de folhas, diâmetro, massa fresca e seca da parte aérea e das raízes, bem como o diâmetro das raízes, quando se utiliza a CA como fonte de N comparada ao uso do FM. Foi observada a interação Fonte × Dose de N somente na produção de massa fresca e massa seca, sendo que o FM apresentou os melhores resultados. A cultura do rabanete não se mostrou tão responsiva ao aumento das doses de N, sendo que a produção de raízes não se modificou em doses acima de 30 kg ha-1.

Published: December 2024

This study focuses on the validation of a wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WD-XRF) spectrometer for the rapid determination of iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) concentrations in certified reference materials (CRMs). Five CRMs were used to establish calibration curves. The results were analyzed in terms of accuracy, precision, repeatability and linearity to assess the performance of the WD-XRF method. Accuracy was evaluated by comparing measured values to certified values, with relative accuracy calculated for each sample. Precision was determined through repeatability, where samples were measured in at least 7 replicates across different days, and relative standard deviation (RSD) was calculated. Linearity was assessed by plotting measured intensities and concentrations against certified concentrations, with the correlation coefficient (R2) values close to 1, indicating a strong linear relationship. Additionally, the WD-XRF method demonstrated high repeatability, with low RSD values across multiple measurements. The study concluded that WD-XRF is a reliable method for the rapid analysis of elemental composition, providing strong accuracy, precision and linearity for Fe and Zn determination in CRMs and can be applied as a valuable method for rapid and non-destructive analysis in various agricultural and food-related applications.

Published: December 2024

In the modern world, robotics is a rapidly expanding and fascinating field. Nowadays, the idea of robotics is applied in all fields, including manufacturing, healthcare, and transportation. One of the functions required for automated mobile robots is obstacle avoidance. The project's goal is to create a robotic vehicle that can avoid obstacles by moving with the help of ultrasonic sensors. The intended operation is accomplished by use of a microcontroller (ATmega328). A robot is a machine that can carry out tasks either on its own or under supervision. This robot is made out of an Arduino UNO (microcontroller) and a sensor that can identify obstructions. The Arduino software is used to program. When it comes to identifying impediments in the environment, the ultrasonic sensor is incredibly accurate. This robot has wheels. The robot will travel backward if the ultrasonic sensor detects the presence of an obstacle while it is moving forward. The robot will continue to advance until it detects an obstruction before stopping if it is unable to detect any obstacles, that is, if there is a large gap between it and an obstacle. The micro-controller uses a motor driver to interface with the motors and reroutes the robot to move in a different direction based on the input signal received. Since some projects use infrared sensors for specific purposes that are not compactable, we are using ultrasonic sensors in our project instead. In the study, two LEDs are
used: one to show if the robot is traveling ahead and the other to show whether it is moving backward. The battery's level of charge is indicated by the third LED. Applications for Arduino boards employ C programming to create the code that controls the operation of the entire system. Additionally, a power source unit is utilized to charge the system's batteries..

Garantizar la accesibilidad cognitiva en las escuelas supone un gran beneficio para toda la comunidad educativa en general, y además constituye una pieza clave para la inclusión educativa del alumnado con dificultades sensoriales y en las funciones ejecutivas. Dada su relevancia, en este artículo se presenta una propuesta formativa en la que se trabajó la accesibilidad cognitiva con futuros especialistas de pedagogía terapéutica a través de una experiencia de aprendizaje-servicio. En concreto, 39 futuros docentes evaluaron la accesibilidad cognitiva en entornos escolares. Para ello, el alumnado contactó con escuelas de educación infantil y primaria y realizó una auditoría sobre su accesibilidad cognitiva, tras lo cual diseñó un conjunto de propuestas de mejora que fueron transmitidas a los centros. La valoración del estudiantado de esta propuesta formativa se recogió mediante un cuestionario diseñado ad hoc para este estudio compuesto de un total de nueve preguntas tipo Likert y dos preguntas abiertas. Los resultados sugieren que la experiencia fue valorada positivamente por los participantes, quienes reportaron haber incrementado considerablemente sus conocimientos sobre accesibilidad cognitiva y haber mantenido un grado de motivación elevado durante toda la experiencia. Además, desde la perspectiva del alumnado, las escuelas también resultaron beneficiadas por la experiencia y cooperaron activamente con ellos. Los participantes también señalaron algunas dificultades de la experiencia, relacionadas directamente con la metodología de aprendizaje-servicio y con la accesibilidad cognitiva en sí misma.

El proyecto de innovación docente “Aprendizaje activo del Derecho Civil mediante la simulación de juicios y debates académicos en el aula con el apoyo auxiliar de herramientas LLM (Large Language Model) como ChatGPT” responde a la necesidad de actualizar la enseñanza del Derecho Civil alineándola con las expectativas digitales de las nuevas generaciones y fomentando competencias críticas y analíticas mediante la metodología de Aprendizaje Basado en Problemas (ABP). Se propone la integración de modelos de lenguaje de gran escala (LLM) en simulaciones prácticas, en las que herramientas como ChatGPT y Copilot generan contenidos personalizados y desempeñan roles como litigantes, testigos o jueces, bajo la dirección docente. Este enfoque representa una transformación respecto a las metodologías tradicionales y contribuye a crear un entorno de aprendizaje más dinámico e inmersivo. El documento detalla el diseño metodológico del proyecto, las actividades realizadas y la implementación de las herramientas LLM. Además, se analiza la configuración de los principales prompts utilizados, evaluando su eficacia para abordar problemas jurídicos complejos y fomentar competencias esenciales como la argumentación jurídica, el pensamiento crítico y la capacidad de aplicar conocimientos teóricos a escenarios prácticos. Finalmente, se presentan los resultados obtenidos y las valoraciones del estudiantado, que evidencian mejoras significativas en sus competencias y desempeño académico, lo que respalda la inclusión de la inteligencia artificial como herramienta pedagógica para enriquecer el análisis jurídico y estimular la creatividad en el marco universitario.

La Inteligencia Artificial generativa (IAGen), con su capacidad para crear contenido original y simular interacciones humanas, está transformando diversos sectores, incluida la educación superior. Este artículo señala los principales usos y retos y revela las percepciones, desafíos y oportunidades en torno a su implementación en la educación superior. A partir de una encuesta realizada a docentes de las universidades pertenecientes a la Red Estatal de Docencia Universitaria (REDU) se revelan diferentes percepciones, desde el entusiasmo por el potencial de la IAGen para personalizar el aprendizaje y automatizar tareas, hasta la preocupación por sus implicaciones éticas y pedagógicas, como el plagio y la dependencia de la tecnología. Los usos de la IAGen incluyen la generación de contenido educativo, la retroalimentación automatizada y la creación de entornos de aprendizaje inmersivos. Entre los desafíos destacan las barreras institucionales, la falta de acceso a recursos actualizados y las dificultades para integrar la IAGen en la práctica docente de manera efectiva y ética. Los docentes desean recibir formación específica sobre IAGen, tanto en aspectos técnicos como pedagógicos, para aprovechar su potencial y mitigar sus riesgos. Estas conclusiones apuntan a la necesidad de abordar los desafíos identificados y promover la formación del profesorado para aprovechar al máximo el potencial de la IAGen en la educación superior. La investigación futura profundizará en la comprensión de las percepciones y necesidades del profesorado y en el desarrollo de estrategias efectivas para la implementación de la IAGen en el contexto universitario, teniendo en cuenta tanto sus beneficios como sus desafíos.
Design and drawing: A cientific model
Authors: Soares de Castro Geraldo Eanes
Published: December 2024

The article presented addresses concepts related to design and drawing. It explores the distinctions and historical origins based on Renaissance humanist traditions and the Anglo-Saxon industrial   revolution, outlining   the   transition   from the natural to the artificial, the complexities of human development in relation to the natural environment and artificiality, and in this sense, points to the introduction of design as an organiser of production. He tries to express the possibility of a scientific model between design and drawing, even though the connotations between them are absolutely different.
Наблюдательная программа по обнаружению транзитных экзопланет в рассеянных скоплениях
Authors: Тарасенков А.Н. , Нароенков С.А. , Наливкин М.А.
Published: December 2024

В статье обсуждается стратегия и методика поиска экзопланет в рассеянных скоплениях на роботизированных теле- скопах ИНАСАН транзитным методом. Из-за высокой звездной плотности и расположению вблизи плоскости Галак- тики рассеянные скопления не всегда могут успешно наблюдаться космической миссией TESS, однако могут быть легко исследованы на небольших наземных телескопах. В рамках нашей программы мы проводим фотометрический мониторинг избранных площадок в близких рассеянных скоплениях на роботизированном телескопе Astrosib RC500. В результате обработки планируется выявить звезды-кандидаты, демонстрирующие периодические вариации блес- ка, по форме и амплитуде соответствующие транзитам экзопланет. В случае обнаружения таких кандидатов будет развернута программа подтверждения путем фотометрических, спектроскопических и спекл-интерферометрических наблюдений на российских телескопах. Также в результате реализации программы будут исследованы уже известные переменные звезды наблюдаемых скоплений и обнаружены новые.

In this paper we discuss the strategy and methodology of searching for exoplanets in open clusters on INASAN robotic telescopes using the transit method. Due to the high stellar density and location near the galactic plane, open clusters cannot always be successfully observed by the TESS space mission, but can be easily studied with small ground-based telescopes. As part of our program, we conduct photometric monitoring of selected fields in nearby open clusters on the Astrosib RC500 robotic telescope. As a result of processing, it is planned to identify candidate stars demonstrating periodic brightness variations, corresponding in shape and amplitude to exoplanet transits. If such candidates are found, a confirmation program will be launched by photometric, spectroscopic and speckle interferometric observations on Russian telescopes. Also, as a result of the program implementation, already known variable stars of the observed clusters will be studied and new ones will be discovered.
Исследование взаимодействия планеты земной массы и планетезимального диска
Authors: Олейник О.С. , Емельяненко В.В.
Published: December 2024

В настоящее время предполагается, что осколочные околозвездные диски являются результатом столкновения пла- нетезималей, оставшихся после формирования планет. В результате таких столкновений рождается микронная пыль, наблюдаемая в осколочных дисках. Это возможно, если орбиты планетеземалей возбуждены в достаточной степени. В данной работе предложен механизм возбуждения диска вследствие гравитационного взаимодействия планеты земной массы с внешним диском планетезималей. Установлено, что в результате этого взаимодействия планета может ми- грировать внутрь диска. При этом планета несколько раз проходит через весь диск, меняя направление миграции при достижении границ диска. Под действием планетных возмущений эксцентриситеты и наклоны орбит планетезималей увеличиваются до значений, достаточных для того, чтобы столкновения планетезималей стали разрушительными и приводили к появлению пылевых структур.

It is presently assumed that circumstellar debris disks are a result of collisions of planetesimals, which are leftovers of the planet formation. In such collisions, micron-sized dust forms, which is observed in debris disks. This is possible if planetesimal orbits are sufficiently excited. In this work we suggest a mechanism of the disk excitation due to the gravitational interaction of an Earth-mass planet with an outer planetesimal disk. It is shown that the planet can migrate to the inner part of the disk because of this interaction. In the process, the planet crosses the entire disk switching the migration direction upon reaching the disk borders. Under the action of planetary perturbations eccentricities and inclinations of planetesimal orbits increase up to values sufficient to make planetesimal collisions violent enough so that they lead to formation of dust structures.
