Authors: Solomon-Uwakwe Blessing Mgbechi , Aniche Charity Ngozi
Published: July 2023

This study investigated the information needs and seeking behaviour of lawyers based on gender and location in Imo State. Two research questions and hypotheses guided the study using a correlational research design. The population consists of 2,599 registered lawyers of Nigerian Bar Association Imo State Chapter. The sample for the study was 650, barristers. The Researcher used the stratified random sampling technique to select 325 male lawyers and female lawyers respectively with consideration to their location. A 40 item structured rating scale titled “Lawyers' Information Needs and seeking behaviour Scale (LINSBS)” validated by an expert in library and information science and two other experts in educational measurement and evaluation, was used for data collection. The reliability of the instrument was established at 0.84 using Cronbach’s alpha statistic. The data obtained were analyzed using frequency numbers and Chi Square (X2) contingency statistics to answer the research questions, so as to determine the magnitude of the relationship between the dependent and independent variables of the study. Chi Square (X2) test of independence statistic was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. Among the findings of the study was that; the contingency coefficient for the influence of lawyers' gender, location and their information needs and seeking behaviour very low. That is to say that there is a very low relationship between lawyers' gender, location and their information needs and seeking behaviour. The relationship of lawyers' information needs and seeking behaviour is significant with lawyers' location but insignificant with lawyers' gender. Based on the findings, the study recommended among other things that government should provide unlimited access to information to lawyers because they play crucial role in the judiciary. This can be done by anchoring programmes that directly address the needs of Lawyers in electronic and print media. Lawyers, irrespective of their gender, location, years of experience, areas of specialization and academic qualifications should endeavour to use different sources for sourcing their information, so as to give reliable services to their clients.
An Appraisal of the Implications of Deep Fakes: The Need for Urgent International Legislations
Authors: Nnamdi Nmesoma , Oniyinde O.A. , Abegunde Babalola
Published: July 2023

Purpose: Artificial intelligence as a subfield of the Fourth Industrial Revolution has been a controversial concept since its inception. The reason for its controversy is that through it, incredible inventions and also inventions detrimental to the society have surfaced. A deep fake is an Artificial Intelligence technology that creates videos and images of persons and events that in fact did not happen. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the concept of deepfake, its positive impacts and threats posed to individuals, corporate institutions and nations. It further assesses the legal implications of and provisions against deep fakes.

Methodology: The research methodology adopted in this study is doctrinal.  Just like every Artificial Intelligence technology, it has benefits that cut across the marketing, fashion, and art industry among others. However, the issue for determination remains whether the positive impact of this AI technology supersedes the negative impacts.

Findings: Findings revealed that it has a high tendency to deceive an average person and also create uncertainty about the authenticity of a piece of information. This can lead to the spread of fake news, fraud, blackmail, fabrication of evidence, and even national and global insecurity. Trust in the social media and the internet generally will face a great decline at the spread of deepfakes, this will then be a medium for denial of videos that are in fact true.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The world is set to face a new and modified aspect of social engineering that will require an upgrade in cybersecurity techniques and strategies. By virtue of the sensitivity of the negative impacts of deepfake, this study concludes that it is necessary to promulgate legislations both at national and international levels to curb or regulate deepfakes.
Managing the Menace of Cattle Rustling and Banditry in North Rift Kenya: The Role of Pokot Women
Authors: Marigat Saul Kipchirchir , Cheruiyotomo Juddy Chebet
Published: July 2023

Purpose: The purpose of this article is to create a discourse surrounding women role in combating cattle rustling and banditry in north rift, Kenya. The article underscores that Pokot women play key roles in instigating cattle rustling and banditry in the north rift region. While media generally perceive women as passive bystanders, it projects men as the protagonists and antagonists during conflict. The thinking that women are only victims of conflicts, just because of the biases in reporting by the media, needs to be critically looked into.

Methodology: The study relied on secondary sources where information from books, journals, periodicals and online opens sources was acquired before deep content analysis was carried and presented in prose.

Findings: The study found that although women bear the brunt of conflicts as the post-Cold War examples clearly show, they are not always on the receiving end. Thus, the suffering that women go through because of conflicts has made them become active participants in such fights. While the article conceded that there are several other causal factors accounting for cattle rustling in the north rift, it finds that the role of Pokot women in fuelling livestock theft is a crucial one.

Recommendation: The article recommended to policy makers that, if meaningful and sustainable peace is to be made in the north rift, they should consider engaging Pokot women in the peacemaking processes.

Published: July 2023

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine those socio-economic variables that have the most impact on attitude towards family planning among married Muslim men in Borno state, Northeast Nigeria. This is because the attitude of husbands is key to the practice of family planning due to their decision making roles in the family set up. Studies have revealed that attitude of males towards family planning in Sub-Saharan Africa is not encouraging. Therefore determining the variables that affect attitude of males towards family planning is important in improving family planning programme success.Methodology: Both qualitative and quantitative techniques were used to collect information for this study. The qualitative technique involved the use of Focus group Discussions. A total of 12 sessions of FGDs were conducted in three purposively selected Local Government areas. For the interview schedule, eight local government areas were randomly selected based on geographic location and cross sectional survey was used to collect the quantitative data. Four villages in each local government area were randomly selected plus the state capital. A total of 475 married Muslim men were interviewed using the systematic random sampling methodFindings: The result of the study showed that the attitude of married Muslim men towards family planning is mainly negative because of the belief that Islam is against family planning. However, people with western education, younger husbands and the Babur/Bura ethnic group have more favourable attitude than other groups. Factors found to be most responsible for negative attitude are religion (96%), rural residency (93%) and low literacy level (92%). However, the most outstanding factor among all sub-groups is socioeconomic insecurity.Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: Better economic conditions and more education are shown to ameliorate attitude towards FP in spite of religious beliefs as seen in this study. Improving on these two factors and providing health education that is culture and religion specific targeted at males will help in making the males to be more receptive. Messages should include the consequences of closely spaced pregnancy on the mother and child
PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES AND EMPLOYEE PRODUCTIVITY IN THE MINISTRY OF WATER AND IRRIGATION IN NAIROBI CITY COUNTY, KENYA
Authors: Njagi Caroline , Muna Wilson
Published: July 2023

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to establish the effects of performance management strategies to employee productivity in the Ministry of Water and Irrigation in Nairobi City County, Kenya.

Methodology: The study adopted a descriptive research design and Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, Herzberg’s two factors and expectancy theory for its theoretical framework. The target population was 200 employees drawn from middle level and lower level cadres in the Ministry of Water and Irrigation. A sample of 133 employees was issued with the questionnaires. Stratified and simple random sampling techniques were used to identify respondents. Primary data was collected using semi-structured questionnaires administered by the researcher. Descriptive statistic like mean, standard deviation frequencies, tables and charts were used to analyze quantitative data using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), while open-ended questions were analyzed using content analysis.

Results: The findings showed that performance management strategies affect employee productivity but at different levels. Remuneration is the leading factor that negatively influences employee productivity within the scope area. It was also noted that the promotion process affects the Ministry of Water and Irrigation negatively because it is not based on merit. However, both training and physical work environment facilitate improved productivity among the employees. This shows that performance management strategies positively and negatively affect the overall employee productivity in the Ministry of Water and Irrigation.

Recommendations: The study recommends that, through the Public Service Commission and Salaries and Remuneration Commission, the government of Kenya introduce measures in areas of remuneration and training that will motivate workers in this ministry. Draft new guidelines for salary review based on the present living standards. The ministry should ensure that all workers are entitled to transport to and from work, mortgage facilities, and other benefits. All salaries be harmonized across the public sector.

The promotion policies and guidelines that are already in place be followed when promoting employees. Adoption of a proper appraisal system and that all the promotions are based on merit but not influence, corruption or seniority. The Ministry takes note of the annual training plans and implementing them to the latter.

Authors: KARACA Mehmet Fatih
Published: July 2023

Bu çalışmada ilkokul ve ortaokul 1-8.sınıf Türkçe ders kitaplarında yer alan 101 öyküleyici ve 78 bilgilendirici metin incelenmiş, metinlere ait cümle, kelime ve hece sayısı gibi niceliksel özellikler sunulmuştur. Ayrıca, Türkçe için en çok bilinen ve uygulanan 3 okunabilirlik formülü olan Ateşman, Çetinkaya-Uzun ve Bezirci-Yılmaz formülleriyle metin okunabilirlikleri analiz edilmiştir. İşlemler geliştirilen yazılım ve Doğal Dil İşleme teknikleri uygulanarak gerçekleştirilmiş, veriler öyküleyici/bilgilendirici metin türleri, ilkokul/ortaokul kademesi, sınıf seviyesine uygun şekilde artış, kolaydan zora dizilim ve sınıf seviyesine uygunluk bakımından değerlendirilmiştir. Öyküleyici metinlerin bilgilendirici metinlerden, ortaokul metinlerinin ilkokul metinlerinden ortalama cümle, kelime ve hece sayıları daha fazladır. Öte yandan ortalama cümle ve kelime uzunlukları itibariyle bilgilendirici metinler öyküleyici metinlerden, ortaokul metinleriyse ilkokul metinlerinden daha yüksek değerdedir. Cümle, kelime, hece, cümlelerin ortalama kelime ve kelimelerin ortalama hece sayılarının genelde sınıf seviyesine uygun şekilde artış gösterdiği fakat kolaydan zora dizilimine çok dikkat edilmediği saptanmıştır. 3 okunabilirlik formülüne göre bilgilendirici metinlerin öyküleyici metinlerden ve ortaokul metinlerinin ilkokul metinlerinden daha zor düzeyde olduğu, sınıf seviyesine göre artışın sadece 1 ve 2.sınıflarda görüldüğü, 1.sınıfta kolaydan zora dizilimine kısmen dikkat edilse de diğer sınıflarda buna dikkat edilmediği, sınıf seviyesinin üzerinde veya çok üzerinde metinler bulunduğu ve hatta 179 metinden yalnızca 23 tanesinin sınıf seviyesine uygun olduğu bu çalışmayla ortaya konmuştur. Elde edilen sonuçlar metin seçiminde okunabilirliğe dikkat edilmediğini, kitaplarda yer alacak metinlerin tespitinde okunabilirlikten faydalanılması gerektiğini, böylece metinlerin sınıf seviyesine uygunluğunun belirlenebileceğini göstermiştir.
Comunicación educativa compleja. Mostrada con códigos transdisciplinares
Authors: Ibarra Rivas Luis Rodolfo
Published: July 2023

Este ensayo ilustra relaciones entre educación, comunicación y complejidad. Se vinculan para complejizar lo que parece sencillo: la comunicación educativa. Su finalidad es mostrar tensiones al comunicar. Enlaza educar y comunicar apoyándose en propuestas de la teoría de la complejidad: códigos, incertidumbre y relatividad. La postura metodológica reúne métodos: fenomenológico-descriptivo, hermenéutico-explicativo, pedagógico-prescriptivo; no los explicita. Primero, describe la tendencia de circunscribir el trabajo universitario al aprendizaje estudiantil; se ilustra para contrastarla con ciencias de la educación adicionales a la psicología. Luego se narra la complejidad de la comunicación docente al humanizar: educar, socializar y jugar. Después se muestra la importancia de justipreciar la comunicación educativa compleja. Complejidad enmarcada en la crisis del paradigma actual. Ulteriormente, ese paradigma se detalla con el recurso de los códigos ideológico, cultural, particular, individual, pedagógico y disciplinar. Se concluye reconociendo la urgencia de humildad, soberbia y eros docente para humanizar(se), conforme a una comunicación educativa compleja.

Authors: Suma Akki , Rajadurai M
Published: July 2023

Stored food grains are greatly damaged by many pests all over the globe. Even though the usage of synthetic pesticides yields good results, they are non-biodegradable and are of high cost. Synthetic pesticides are even harmful to the humans and environment, which leads to the search and usage of plant-based volatile oil, which exhibits insecticidal properties. Due to this property, they are safe for the population and the environment. Sage (Salvia officinalis) is a popular herb in the mint family (Labiatae/ Lamiaceae), this can be used as an alternative to synthetic pesticides. This review is focused on the use of sage in controlling stored product pests. The important aspect discussed in this review is the action of sage (essential oil) on the stored pests for instance the repellent and fumigant actions on the stored pests. The article also stresses the importance of the extensive use of biopesticides.

Published: July 2023

An essential step in the cultivation of white button mushrooms for commercial use is the addition of substrate at the casing to boost quality and yield. The goal of this experiment was to investigate how different casing combinations affected the growth and yield of the white button mushroom (A. bisporus) strain U3 as well as conduct a wet bubble and green mould disease assessment. The various casing compositions differed significantly from one another. The casing mixture CP + FYM + RH (steam pasteurization) produced the highest overall yield (816.66 g), while CP produced the lowest (516.66 g). A gain of 1.48 was generated for every rupee spent on research thanks to the B:C ratio. During the 2020–2021 survey years, the incidence of the disease of wet bubble and green mould varied from 2.98 to 33.33 % and 14.83 to 64.92 percent, respectively, in Punjab's button mushroom farming farm districts. These studies will aid mushroom farmers in making the best casing material choices for the white button mushroom (A. bisporus), which has the best growth and yield potential in our nation.

Cow dung is a rich source of microbial diversity and being used since long time in India for seed treatment, plastering cut ends of vegetative propagated plant parts and sprinkling of diluted solution on crops. In present study, microbes from fresh cow dung of indigenous cow were isolated and biochemically characterized. Cow dung enriched with diversity of microorganisms in different medium i.e 38 x 106cfu g-1 (Nutrient agar), 26.0 x 106 cfu g-1 (Actinomycetes isolation agar), 36 x 106 cfu g-1 (Kings B agar), 16 x 106 cfu g-1(CV agar),13 x 106 cfu g-1 (Methyl red), 15 x 106 cfu g-1 (Pikovskyas agar), 30 x 106 cfu g-1 (CRYEMA), Azospirillum 70 x 106 cfu g-1 (N-free maleate) and 30 x 106 cfu g-1(Jenson agar medium). Based on microbial enumeration, total 18 bacterial isolates were selected for biochemical, PGPR characterization and biocontrol activity. All isolates were tested positive for phosphate and Zn solubilisation. Isolate CD2, CD5, CD13, CD14 and CD19 were tested highly positive for zinc, phosphate, K-solubilisation, IAA and amylase production. Test isolates CD2, CD5, CD6, CD7, CD10 and CD13 were tested highly positive for β-galactosidase activity, ornithine utilization, nitrate reduction, citrate utilization, malonate utilization, esculin hydrolysis, trehalose, glucose and lactose utilization. All isolated microbes tested for biocontrol activity (antifungal property) against standard pathogen procured from microbial type culture collection (MTCC), i.e. C. gloeosporioides (MTCC 2190), F. oxysporum (MTCC 10247), C. fimbriota (MTCC 2281) and P. aphanidermatum (MTCC 284). CD2, CD34 and CD20 isolates significantly inhibited the growth of C. gloeosporioides and P. aphanidermatum. Result of the study advocates that cow dung and cow dung based formulations are cheap source for soil, plant health and management of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, P. aphanidermatum and Fusarium oxysporum in various crops.

Published: July 2023

Cluster Frontline Demonstration (CFLD) is a unique approach to demonstrate the production potential of newly released technologies on the farmers’ fields. The Krishi Vigyan Kendra, LAM, Guntur had conducted the Cluster Frontline Demonstration (CFLDs) on oilseeds during 2016 to 2019. The KVK had organized 150CFLDs on Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) in fivevillagesviz.,Yazilli, Danduvaaripaalem, Pachala Thaatiparru, Kaskarru and Karlapalem of Guntur district. To get the adequate size of the sample, 150 CFLDs beneficiary farmers were selected as the sample for the present study.Highest average yield of 40.25 q/ha was recorded in groundnut variety Kadiri 7 Bold, while the lowest average yield was 22.5 q/ha (Kadiri 6) with 12.9 and 12.4 percent increase in yield respectively. Extension gap were observed as 3.9, 4.6 and 3.6 in Kadiri 6, Kadiri 7 bold and Kadiri Haritandra. Technology index ranges from 9.75 to 19.6 in demonstrated groundnut varieties in CFLD programme. There was a significant increase in area from 25 to 230 ha (increased up to 205 %), 10 to 110 ha (increased up to 100 %), 30 to 190 ha (increased up to 160 %) area in Kadiri 6, Kadiri 7 bold and Kadiri Haritandra groundnut varieties respectively. Impact on adoption (per cent change) is prominent in case of Kadiri 6 (820 %), Kadiri Haritandra (533.3%) and Kadiri 7 bold (90.9 %) because of their yield potential, crop management practices fallowed by the farmers suggested by kvk scientists through CFLD. maximum (48.6%) number of respondents highly satisfied with the services rendered through CFLDThe Local variety of groundnut varietyTAG-24 was replaced by improved varieties developed by ANGRAU, Andhra Pradesh such as Kadiri-6, Kadiri 7 bold and Kadiri Harithandra‘. Thus, it can be inferred that CFLDs is an effective extension intervention to demonstrate the production potential of improved technologies in Groundnut on farmers’ field. Therefore, it is recommended that the extension agencies engaged in transfer and application of agricultural technologies on farmer‘s field.
Correlación entre la calidad educativa y desempeño docente, una mirada al caso panameño
Authors: Pérez Sánchez José
Published: July 2023

Durante años, Panamá ha puesto en ejecución mecanismos para monitorear la calidad de la educación, lastimosamente estos no logran alinearse con las necesidades de los actores clave: docentes, estudiantes y acudientes. Una de las causas, hace referencia a que el diseño de estos mecanismos responde a políticas neoliberales, las cuales no se preocupan por la diversidad, el contexto de las comunidades objetivo y las necesidades de los docentes en sus diferentes realidades. Debido a eso, esta investigación tiene como objetivo conocer las distintas percepciones de los educadores sobre la calidad educativa y el desempeño docente. Además, busca conocer cuáles son los factores que influyen en ambas variables. Es un estudio mixto, de carácter transaccional, correlacional. Se utilizó el “coeficiente de correlación de Pearson” para determinar la correlación entre variables. Participaron 100 docentes de distintas escuelas públicas a nivel nacional.

Los resultados muestran una correlación positivamente alta entre la calidad educativa y el desempeño docente (r=0,759). Los profesores mencionan la existencia de factores que influyen en la calidad educativa, más allá que el desempeño docente, por ejemplo: apoyo técnico-pedagógico, burocracia en procesos, evaluación docente injusta, tipos de alumnos, formación inicial y continua, entre otros.
Urban notes. Conscious and participatory drawing
Authors: Seve Bruno , Redondo Domínguez Ernest , Muxi Martínez Zaida
Published: July 2023

Graphic representation in architecture has been drastically transformed with the arrival of new technologies. In this changing contemporary context, freehand drawing’s role and objectives are being reconsidered as an aesthetic goal and as a pedagogical process. The way we transform our urban spaces is also evolving, with increasingly participatory approaches that include diverse perspectives. In search of alternative, innovative learning methods, this article shows the results of Urban Notes, an elective community activity in which students, associations and neighbourhoods exchange ideas about the place through urban drawing. First, a theoretical background is proposed that supports Urban Notes use as a participatory urban exploration tool, and then recent experiments are described. The results reveal a new form of transdisciplinary learning for schools of architecture and urbanism.
Herramientas gráficas de sistematización en la obra de Le Corbusier
Authors: Martín Fuentes Daniel Vicente
Published: July 2023

Le Corbusier utilizó recurrentemente el dibujo como medio de pensamiento y expresión. La existencia de un legado documental, no planimétrico, tan amplio nos permite entrever la importancia que otorgaba a la expresión gráfica en todos sus ámbitos. Como resultado, tanto sus bocetos como su producción editorial muestran un alfabeto de ideogramas que marcó a varias generaciones.
De entre toda la producción del maestro, este artículo pretende poner de manifiesto una serie de dibujos que podemos denominar herramientas gráficas, desarrolladas en el atelier de la Rue de Sèvres, que se idearon para simplificar la toma de decisiones durante la fase de proyecto. Su diseño demuestra cómo, durante toda su carrera, Le Corbusier aplicó los principios de sistematización y racionalización de una manera real. Es decir, planteando la estandarización del proceso más que del producto.
Dibujando un concierto de obra: el método gráfico en la comprensión de la técnica constructiva de la bóveda encamonada en el Virreinato de Perú
Authors: Hurtado-Valdez Pedro
Published: July 2023

El advenimiento de materiales contemporáneos y desarrollo de técnicas constructivas modernas ha condenado al olvido muchas de las antiguas artes de construir, impactando en las intervenciones en la arquitectura patrimonial, ya que el desconocimiento de los sistemas constructivos antiguos impide un correcto tratamiento de sus materiales y entendimiento de su comportamiento estructural. No obstante, existe una fuente informativa que duerme en los conciertos de obra, pero cuyo lenguaje plantea dificultades para su exacta comprensión. El artículo muestra la aplicación del dibujo en la interpretación de los conciertos de obra realizados en el Virreinato de Perú para entender las características de las bóvedas encamonadas, mediante la lectura de textos de archivos, la revisión de tratados y el desarrollo de isometrías. Precisamente el dibujo salva el carácter críptico de estos textos permitiendo comprender gráficamente los escritos de los maestros constructores.
La obra gráfica de Luis Tolosa
Authors: Martín Talaverano Rafael , Azpiri Albístegui Ana
Published: July 2023

La figura de Luis Tolosa destaca no sólo por su producciónarquitectónica, sino también por su obra gráfica. Fue el autor de algunas de las más destacadas obras de la arquitectura industrial guipuzcoana entre 1930 y 1950. Sinembargo, su faceta como dibujante es posiblemente más significativa, ya que supo manejar con maestría distintas técnicas gráficas adaptándolas a los objetivos de cada dibujo. Además, realizó una gran cantidad de perspectivas en las que demostró un excelente control del punto de vista y del encuadre, integrando el contexto geográfico por el que demostró un especial interés. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar su obra gráfica e identificar las principales características. Para ello, se han revisado sus dibujos y se han contrastado con los que aparecen en las revistas extranjeras que Luis Tolosa solía consultar. En definitiva, con este trabajo se pone en valor su faceta como excelente dibujante.

Sobre la mentira: la verdad de las mentiras
Authors: Solaguren-Beascoa de Corral Félix , Bardí-Milà Berta
Published: July 2023

¿Qué intención debe tener el dibujo respecto de aquello quehemos creado? Un dibujo tiene que manifestar lo que se quiere explicar, debe reflejar la intención, el propósito, el proyecto, no únicamente la realidad. Así que un dibujo puede manipular y alterar la verdad. La representación debe transmitir aquello que se quiere decir, sea verdad o no. Es por eso que el dibujo puede mentir, incluso debe mentir. Pero es un mentir que pretende transmitir la profunda intención de aquello que se quiere explicar. Para ello se requiere un trabajo previo que conjugue el qué se quiere decir y el cómo. Para tratar de ahondar en este tema se recurre a ejemplos de todas las épocas, basándose en el libro Modos de ver de John Berger.
Dijital Çağın Gözde Mesleği “Influencerlık” Ve Influencerların Hukukî Statüsü
Authors: DEMİR Kübra
Published: July 2023

Üretim sürecini doğrudan etkileyen dijital teknolojiler aynı zamanda üretim sürecinin
değişmesinde de yadsınamaz bir paya sahiptir. Üretim, teknolojik gelişmelerin odağıdır ve çalışma
hayatını da pek çok açıdan etkilemektedir. Bu süreç tipik istihdam modellerinin yerine atipik
istihdam modellerinin doğmasına neden olmuştur. Sosyal medya kullanımının yaygınlaşması ile
beraber üretim aşamasına etki eden bir kavram ortaya çıkmıştır “influencerlık”. “Sosyal medya
aracılığıyla farklı ürün veya hizmetleri kullanarak takipçilerini etkileyen kişi” olarak tanımlanan
influencerlık, çağın yeni ve gözde mesleği halini almaktadır. Influencerlar tarafından yerine
getirilmekte olan ve “hatırlı pazarlama” olarak da adlandırılan “Influencer Marketing” kavramı da
dijital çağın getirdiği ve üretim ve pazarlama süreçlerinin çok büyük bir hızla dönüşümüne neden
olan bir kavram olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır.
Influencerlık sözleşmeleri; influencerlar ile üreticiler arasında yapılan sözleşmeler olup bu
sözleşmeler ile ürün ve hizmet tanıtımı ifluencerlar tarafından üstlenilmektedir. Influencerlık
sözleşmeleri, Türk hukukunu pek çok açıdan ilgilendiren ivazlı, herhangi bir şekil şartına bağlı
olmayan ve tam iki tarafa borç yükleyen sözleşmelerdir. Niteliği itibariyle atipik sözleşmeler olan
influencer sözleşmeleri, içeriğinde bulunan çeşitli yükümlülükler dolayısıyla birden fazla
sözleşmede bulunan yükümlülüklere temas etmektedir. Bu çalışma kapsamında influencerlık
sözleşmelerinin içeriği incelenmeye çalışılacak ve bu sözleşmelerin iş görme sözleşmeleri ile
bağlantılı olup olmadıkları açıklanmaya çalışılacaktır.
Influencerlık sözleşmelerinin tarafı olan influencerların hukukî niteliği de bu kapsamda
değinilmesi gereken noktalardan bir diğerini oluşturmaktadır. Influencerların, üreticilerle
yaptıkları “işbirliği”nin kapsamı influencerların hukukî statülerinin belirlenmesinde etkili
olacaktır. Bu kapsamda influencerlar iş sözleşmesine bağlı olarak çalışan işçi mi yoksa bağımsız
çalışan kimseler midir? Bu durumun tespiti önem arz etmektedir. Bu soruların cevabı
influencerların yaptıkları iş birliklerinin içerikleri kapsamında değişkenlik gösterebilir mi çalışma
kapsamında ele alınacak konulardandır.

Momordica charantia diketahui memiliki efek penghambatan spermatogenesis, karena mengandung glikosida triterpen atau kukurbitasin. Penelitian menggunakan post-test only control group design. Sampel terdiri dari 36 ekor tikus. Sampel dibagi menjadi dua kelompok, yaitu kelompok kontrol yang diberi akuades oral secara sonde sebanyak 1 cc; kelompok perlakuan diberikan ekstrak etanol buah Pare secara oral sebanyak 1 cc 1000 mg/kgBB selama 40 hari. Pemeriksaan kualitas spermatozoa adalah: jumlah, morfologi, motilitas, dan viabilitas. Dianalisis menggunakan Independent T-test. Hasil analisis menunjukkan rerata jumlah spermatozoa kelompok kontrol sebanyak 85,2 juta/ml > kelompok perlakuan sebanyak 61,7 juta, nilai p= 0,001. Rerata jumlah morfologi normal spermatozoa kelompok kontrol sebesar 79,6% dan kelompok perlakuan sebesar 24%, p= 0,001. Rerata motilitas spermatozoa progresif kelompok kontrol sebesar 37,4 µm/detik > kelompok perlakuan sebesar 8,98 µm/detik maka berbeda signifikan p= 0,001. Rerata viabilitas spermatozoa hidup kelompok kontrol sebesar 83,8% > kelompok perlakuan sebesar 29,4%, p= 0,001. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ini disimpulkan bahwa pemberian esktrak etanol buah Pare dapat menurunkan kualitas spermatozoa pada Rattus norvegicus.

Published: July 2023

Antarktik je jedinstven primer velike teritorije nad kojom nijedna država ne vrši suverenu vlast. Iako skoro potpuno pod ledom, teritorija Antarktika je potencijalno značajan ekonomski i geopolitički činilac. Sedam država je u odgovarajućem obliku istaklo svoje teritorijalne pretenzije prema delovima teritorije Antarktika. Donošenjem Antarktičke povelje 1959. godine očuvan je zatečeni status quo, a opravdanost teritorijalnih pretenzija je ostavljena po strani na neodređeno vreme. Poučeni istorijom oružanih konflikata, od kojih je njihov veliki deo bio radi teritorije, svrha ovog rada je ispitivanje kapaciteta međunarodnog prava da institucionalnim putem podeli teritoriju. Takva podela treba da uvažava zahteve distributivne pravde, s jedne strane, i očuvanja mira, s druge strane. Predstavljen je jedan mogući način raspodele, čiji je ključni kriterijum istorija efektivnog vršenja vlasti nad teritorijom Antarktika.

Published: July 2023

Proses pengiriman barang oleh manusia dapat mempertimbangkan beberapa faktor yaitu berat barang, jumlah barang, lama perjalanan dan tenaga manusia yang dibutuhkan. Semakin berat dan banyak barang atau semakin jauh jarak yang harus ditempuh maka semakin banyak pula tenaga manusia yang dibutuhkan untuk memindahkan barang tersebut. Selain itu, ketidakmungkinan manusia bekerja selama 24 jam juga menjadi faktor yang mempengaruhi efisiensi dan kualitas operasi. Dari permasalahan tersebut maka diperlukan lengan robotik untuk memindahkan barang berbasis image processing. Dimana pada tahap awal dimulai dengan mengumpulkan data warna pada objek menggunakan kamera Raspberry Pi yang akan diproses oleh Raspberry Pi 3b untuk data dikirim ke Esp32 dan akan diteruskan ke kontrol servo sebagai alat yang menggerakkan motor servo sebagai penggerak utama pada lengan robot.

Authors: Medina Guerrero Manuel
Published: July 2023

La entrada en vigor del Reglamento General de Protección de Datos ha supuesto un cambio notable en el marco normativo europeo regulador del derecho fundamental a la protección de datos. En particular, ha conllevado un cierto avance en la regulación del conflicto entre este derecho fundamental y el derecho de acceso a los documentos públicos. El principal objetivo de este trabajo es examinar si es recomendable o incluso exigible que se modifique la Ley de transparencia, acceso a la información pública y buen gobierno, a fin de acomodarla a este renovado marco normativo europeo. A este respecto, el trabajo aporta algunas sugerencias de reforma de la citada Ley que garantizarían su más adecuado encaje con el Reglamento General de Protección de Datos.
Statistical assessment of a Doppler radar model of TKE dissipation rate for low Richardson numbers (weakly stratified or strongly sheared conditions)
Authors: Luce Hubert , Kantha Lakshmi , Hashiguchi Hiroyuki
Published: July 2023

Abstract. The potential ability of VHF or UHF Doppler radars to measure Turbulence Kinetic Energy (TKE) dissipation rate ε in the atmosphere is a major asset of these instruments, because of the possibility of continuous monitoring of turbulence in the atmospheric column above the radars. Several models have been proposed over past decades to relate ε to the half width σ of the Doppler spectrum peak, corrected for non-turbulent contributions, but their relevance remains unclear. Recently, Luce et al. (2023) tested the performance of a new model expected to be valid for weakly stratified or strongly sheared conditions, i.e. for low Richardson (Ri) numbers. Its simplest expression is εS = CS σ2 S where CS ~ 0.64 and S =|dV→/dz| is the vertical shear of the horizontal wind V→.  We assessed the relevance of this model with a UHF (1.357 GHz) wind profiler called WPR LQ-7, which is routinely operated at Shigaraki Middle and Upper Atmosphere (MU) observatory (34.85° N, 136.10° E) in Japan. For this purpose, we selected turbulence events associated with Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) billows, because their formation necessarily requires Ri < 0.25 somewhere in the flow, a condition a priori favorable to the application of the model. Eleven years of WPR LQ-7 data were used for this objective. The assessment of εS was first based on its consistency with an empirical model εLout= σ3 / Lout that was found to compare well in a KH layer with direct estimates of ε from in-situ measurements for Lout ≈ 70 m. Some degree of equivalence between εS and εLout was confirmed by statistical analysis of 192 KH layers found in the height range [0.3–5.0] km indicating that Lout ≈ LH  / 0.64 where LH = σ / S is the Hunt scale defined for neutral turbulence. The degree of equivalence is even significantly improved if Lout is not treated as a constant but depends on the depth D of the layer. We found Lout ≈ 0.0875 D or equivalently Lout ~ 0.056 D which also means that σ is proportional to the apparent variation of the horizontal velocity (S × D) over the depth of the KH layer. Consequently, εS  = 0.64 σ2 S and εLout = σ3 / 0.0875 D would express the same model for KH layers when Ri remains small. For such a condition, we provide a physical interpretation of Lout, which would be qualitatively identical to that for neutral boundary layers.
Assessing the Ducting Phenomenon and its Impact on GNSS Radio Occultation Refractivity Retrievals over the Northeast Pacific Ocean using Radiosondes and Global Reanalysis
Authors: Winning Thomas E. , Xie Feiqin , Nelson Kevin J.
Published: July 2023

Abstract. In this study, high-resolution radiosondes from the MAGIC field campaign and ERA5 global reanalysis data are used to assess the elevated ducting layer characteristics along the transect over the northeastern Pacific Ocean from Los Angeles, California to Honolulu, Hawaii. The height of the planetary boundary layer (PBLH) increases as the strength of the refractivity gradient and resultant ducting decrease from east to west across the analysis transect. The thickness of the ducting layer remains remarkably consistent (∼110 m) in the radiosonde data. On the other hand, the ERA5 generally resolves the ducting features well but underestimates the ducting height and strength especially over the trade cumulus region near Hawaii. A simple two-step end-to-end simulation is used to evaluate the impact of the elevated ducting layer on RO refractivity retrievals. A systematic negative refractivity bias (N-bias) below the ducting layer is observed throughout the transect, peaking approximately 70 meters below the PBL height (−5.42 %), and gradually decreasing towards the surface (−0.5 %). Further, the underestimation of the N-bias in the ERA5 data increases in magnitude westward and while the correlation of the N-bias with the minimum gradient and sharpness are all strong; there is no evidence of zonal dependence.
