A Preliminary Study on the Measurement of Supply Chain Performance: The Determination of Key Performance Indicator (KPI) Weights
Authors: Firmansyah Reza , Budijati Siti Mahsanah , De’e Silvia
Published: December 2024

Supply chain performance measurement is crucial in determining strategies to improve company performance. PT XYZ is an export-scale sweet potato-based food processing company. The obstacle the company often faces is the mismatch in the quantity of raw material delivered from suppliers, resulting in delays in production and fulfillment of demand to consumers. For this reason, it is important to measure the performance of the supply chain, so that the company knows the parts of the supply chain that must be improved. Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) is a method for measuring supply chain performance. Before applying the SCOR method, the first step that needs to be done is determining the Key Performance Indicator (KPI) and its weight. This research aims to determine KPI weights using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method, at PT XYZ. The AHP method was chosen because of its ability to provide objective weights based on priorities determined by experts. The results showed that there were 6 KPIs at level 1, 19 KPIs at level 2 which were grouped in 6 dimensions, and 50 KPIs at level 3 which were grouped in 19 dimensions. The KPI determination is adjusted to the SCOR dimensions and the real conditions of the company. Furthermore, based on the AHP method analysis, the weight of each KPI is obtained, and the weight comparison between KPIs is known. The implementation of strategies that focus on the KPIs with the highest weights is expected to improve the overall supply chain performance.
Exploring the Dual Apprenticeship Program in Benin Republic: Analyzing Opportunities and Overcoming Challenges
Authors: Odjo Zinsou Cosme
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this paper is to explore the current state of Benin’s dual apprenticeship program, specifically its opportunities and challenges, as well as potential solutions. Since 2003, the vast majority of Benin young people have been trained on the job in the work techniques of a given trade in the artisan workshop. This study used a mixed-methods approach to understand the effectiveness, efficiency, and sustainability of Benin’s dual apprenticeship program. Primary data was collected through online interviews, with secondary data from government documents, decrees, policies, and project progress reports. The study focused on the cities of Cotonou, Sèmè-Podji, Parakou, and Porto-Novo, with 63 purposefully selected participants. The collected data was analyzed using thematic and content analysis to identify key themes and patterns. The results show that the dual apprenticeship program provides apprentices with a three-year training program that combines practical experience in artisan workshops with theoretical training at vocational training centers (VTCs). Upon completion, apprentices receive the “Certificat de Qualification Professionnelle” (CQP). However, issues such as outdated entrance or recruitment processes, outdated training materials, insufficient student manuals, lack of trainer quality control, and failure to meet basic obligations hinder its success. Similarly, it is noted that the program only includes 13 out of 300 craft occupations, and trainees are placed in VTCs far from their homes. To this end, the program's expansion to other crafts and engaging all stakeholders in clearly defined responsibilities will lead to the program's effectiveness and sustainability in Benin Republic.

Over the last few decades, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been recognized as one of the principal threats to public health. Even though the emerging crisis of AMR was formerly considered a problem to human health, it entails a “One Health” approach, because of the animal, human, and environmental reservoirs. Here of the all-encompassing antimicrobial use (AMU) in the livestock production systems can result in the occurrence of AMR genes in bacteria that can be transmitted in milk, leading them into the food chain. This study aimed to estimate the AMR prevalence in dairy farm, using susceptibility testing of cow’s raw milk bacteria as an indicator to evaluate whether AMR patterns differ between conventional and organic dairy herds. For this purpose, an AMR comparison was made between the milk obtained from organic (No AMU) and conventional (AMU) cows for which disk diffusion method was used where AMU data were based on the injections given to cows. The findings revealed that 44% of AMR was found among all the bacterial isolates against five antibiotics i.e., amoxicillin (AMOX), ampicillin + cloxacillin (AMC), cephradine (CED), ciprofloxacin (CFX), and oxytetracycline (OT) at five different concentrations (0.1, 1, 10, 100, and 1000 μg/ml) where organic samples have shown 52% of AMR and in conventional milk samples 39% of AMR was observed, most likely because of the good health of cows and consequently less AMU in both types of dairy farms illustrating the problems in determining associations with AMU. This was a surveillance study of antimicrobial susceptibility in district Sialkot which has provided us with a rundown on AMR in raw milk as well as on the role of AMU in the occurrence of AMR in raw milk. Further research of the complete dairy farm environment is required to unravel the complex web of AMR and its matrices on dairy farms.

Authors: Abed Ammar
Published: December 2024

The mechanism of using arbitration and mediation in the settlement of international trade disputes. They give information on arbitration and mediation, the rules of enforcing them in the international level, and the efficiency of the mechanisms above the procedure of litigation. It deals with the international aspect and does not explore the specifics of national legislation regarding arbitration and mediation arrangements. It also introduces modern changes adding to the efficiency and applicability of arbitration and mediation in the sphere of inter entrepreneurships trade. For example, the new online dispute resolution procedures envisaged by the EU-ICC and the ICC court rules are a more convenient and faster option than a trial that is only suitable for legal matters that are not very complicated and where the amount at stake is small. While these measures are directed towards the enhancement of the existing model for the resolution of disputes through litigation, they may result in the overcrowding of the scene. Thus, the present work aims to promote the systems of arbitration and mediation as traditional and effective methods that should be used at the international and non-equivalent levels for enterprises and judicial officers’ benefits.

Authors: Flausino Julia Nogueira , Ladislau Thiago
Published: December 2024

Este artigo discute a aplicação da gamificação, especialmente no contexto educacional. A gamificação busca motivar comportamentos desejados através de motivações extrínsecas. Apontamos uma contradição inerente na gamificação, uma vez que um jogo é definido por suas motivações intrínsecas. A análise comparativa revela diferenças significativas em suas dinâmicas de engajamento. Embora a gamificação possa promover resultados positivos, há críticas quanto ao seu foco excessivo em recompensas externas e competitividade. Conclui-se que é crucial repensar a forma como a gamificação é aplicada na educação, equilibrando elementos motivacionais externos com uma aprendizagem autêntica e significativa.

Authors: Özyıldız Zafer , Eroğlu Mesut , Altıntaş Melike
Published: December 2024

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı Burdur bölgesindeki küçük ruminantlarda görülen koksidiyozis enfeksiyonlarının patolojik bulgularının tespiti ve Dopamin Reseptörleri ile ilişkisinin belirlenmesidir. Bu çalışmada sadece dopamin 1 reseptörünün incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmanın materyalini Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Patoloji Anabilim Dalı’na 2023 yılı içerisinde getirilen 1 yaşın altındaki dışkı muayenesinde Eimeria spp. tespit edilmiş toplamda 11 adet küçük ruminant dokularına ait parafin bloklardan oluştu. Hayvanlardan alınan dışkı örnekleri Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy Üniversitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Parazitoloji Anabilim Dalı’nda kültüre edilerek tür tayinleri yapıldı. Parafin bloklar 5µm kalınlığında kesilerek rutin hemaoksilen&eozin ile boyanarak dokulardaki histopatolojik bulgular kaydedildi. Ayrıca standart Avidin-Biyotin Peroksidaz metodu uygulanarak anti-dopamin 1 reseptör antikoru (D1R antibody, St. John’s Laboratory, UK, STJ92642, 1:100 sulandırma) salınımları incelendi. Bulgular: Doku kesitlerinde ince bağırsakların jeunum ve ileum ve sekum bölgelerinde değişen derecelerde paraziter enteritis bulgularına rastlandı. Şiddetli olgularda bağırsak lümeninde pıhtılaşmış kan ile birlikte lamina propriada kanama alanlarına rastlandı. Özellikle liberkühn kript epitelleri ve villus epitellerinde bölgesel deskuamasyon mevcuttu. Sağlam kalan epitellerin bazılarında Eimeria spp. türlerine ait gelişim formlarına rastlandı. İmmunohistokimyasal bulgularda ise tunika serozadaki damarlar ve hemen üzerinde sirküler kas tabakası, lamina propriadaki çoğunluğu histiyositik karakterdeki yangısal hücrelerin sitoplazmaları, dejenere kript epitelleri Etkene ait gelişim formları ve lakteallerde anti-DP1R pozitif alanlar tespit edildi. Sonuç: Küçük ruminantlarda koksidiyozis her zaman hayvan ölümleri ve ekonomik kayıplara sebep olduğundan hayvan yetiştiriciliğinde önemli bir hastalıktır. Dopamin vücudun savunma ya da saldırma fonksiyonlarında etkin bir hormon olduğundan bu çalışmada hastalıktaki rolü ve önemi araştırıldı. Dopaminin özellikle damarlar ve kas demetleri üzerinde etki göstererek bağırsaklarda peristaltik artışına ve ishale sebep olduğu bilinmektedir. Ancak bu çalışmada etkene ait gelişim formlarının da anti-dopamin1 reseptör antkoruyla pozitif reaksiyon göstermesi, etkenlerin vücuttaki dopamini kullanarak aktivitesini artırdığı ve enfeksiyonun daha şiddetli olmasına neden olduğu düşünüldü.

Published: December 2024

People feel comfortable when environmental conditions fall within certain ranges. This range is defined as the comfort zone. The condition where the climate-related parameters such as temperature, wind speed, and humidity are within suitable ranges for humans is called “bioclimatic comfort” or simply “biocomfort.” Throughout their lives, people make efforts to adjust biocomfort values in their surroundings, using aids such as clothing, heating, or cooling systems, to feel comfortable within the appropriate ranges. Therefore, having the climate parameters in the regions where people live fall within comfort ranges is crucial for people's well-being, health, performance, happiness, and energy use. Consequently, the regional and temporal variation of suitable ranges in terms of biocomfort is of significant importance in many aspects. In this study, the aim was to determine the seasonal variation of some meteorological parameters and, based on these, to identify areas that are suitable or unsuitable for biocomfort in the province of Van, one of Turkey’s major cities. The long-term averages of meteorological data for Van from 1939 to 2018. According to the biocomfort map created using annual average meteorological data, it was determined that none of Van province is suitable for biocomfort. Seasonal assessments revealed that the entire province is uncomfortable in spring, autumn, and winter, while in summer, 99.18% of the province is suitable for biocomfort, and 0.82% is unsuitable. Additionally, evaluations were made based on summer index values. According to the summer index values, it was found that even in June, July, and August—when temperatures are highest—most people in Van province remain in a comfort zone, although some people feel cool. This indicates that Van province lies in a relatively cool climate zone.

Authors: Ybaseta-Medina Jorge , Ybaseta-Soto Marjorie , Oscco-Torres Olinda , Aquije-Paredes Carmen , Vera-Cáceres Carmen
Published: December 2024

Introducción La mortalidad materna sigue siendo un reto considerable para la salud pública a nivel mundial, particularmente en áreas en desarrollo como Ica, Perú. Este estudio tiene como finalidad analizar los factores de riesgo que contribuyen a la mortalidad materna en hospitales de referencia en Ica durante el período de 2010 a 2020.

Métodos Se realizó un estudio de casos y controles, incluyendo 49 casos de muertes maternas y 98 controles, aplicando regresión logística multivariante para analizar datos recopilados de historias clínicas y registros hospitalarios.

Resultados Los factores significativamente asociados con un aumento en el riesgo de mortalidad materna incluyen la ausencia de pareja (odds ratio ajustado [OR]: 12,3; IC 95%: 2,6 a 58,8), antecedentes de anemia (OR ajustado: 5,8; IC 95%: 1,5 a 21,3), demoras superiores a dos horas en acceder a atención médica (OR ajustado: 10,2; IC 95%: 2,0 a 51,1), y el desconocimiento de signos de alarma como el sangrado vaginal no reconocido por los acompañantes (OR ajustado: 7,4; IC 95%: 1,2 a 46,7).

Conclusiones La identificación de estos factores subraya la necesidad urgente de desarrollar estrategias integrales que optimicen el acceso a los servicios de salud materna y fortalezcan la educación sobre los signos de alarma. Para disminuir la mortalidad materna evitable, es esencial la colaboración entre el Ministerio de Salud del Perú y los gobiernos regionales, con el objetivo de ampliar la cobertura y mejorar la calidad de la atención prenatal. Además, se debe aumentar la concienciación y asegurar la disponibilidad de transporte las 24 horas para mujeres que enfrenten complicaciones obstétricas. La principal limitación es la generalización restringida por el enfoque regional y el uso exclusivo de datos hospitalarios.

Turizm olgusu, insanların bilinçlenmesi, sürdürülebilir turizme olan eğilim, teknolojik gelişmeler ve özelleştirilmiş turizm ürün ve çeşitlerine olan ihtiyaçların artması nedeniyle değişme göstermiştir. Bunun sonucunda alternatif turizm türleri ortaya çıkmış ve insanların ihtiyaçlarını gözeten birçok turizm ürünü ortaya çıkmıştır. Karavan turizmi de bu çeşitlenmenin sonucunda ortaya çıkmıştır. Sürüş turizminin bir alt segmenti olan karavan turizmi, koronavirüs ile birlikte daha popüler bir turizm çeşidi haline gelmiştir. Gerek sürdürülebilir bir turizm çeşidi olması gerekse doğayla etkileşim kurmaya fırsat vermesi karavan turistlerinin sayısının artmasında önemli rol oynamıştır. Konaklamanın yapıldığı yerlerin aynı olması, sürdürülebilir olması ve doğayla iç içe bir turizm çeşidi olması dolayısıyla kamp turizmiyle birlikte değerlendirilen karavan turizmi yerli ve yabancı literatürde genel olarak birlikte çalışılmıştır. Karavan turizmi özelinde çalışmaların yetersiz olduğu görülmektedir. Bu nedenle bu çalışmanın amacı karavan turizmini araştırmak ve literatüre katkı sağlamaktır. Bu çalışmada literatürdeki bilgiler ışığında karavanların tarihsel gelişimi, karavan turizminin özellikleri, sürdürülebilir turizm ile bağlantısı, karavan turizmiyle karıştırılan kavramlar, karavan turistinin özellikleri araştırılmıştır. Bunun yanı sıra Dünya’da ve Türkiye’de karavan turizmi ile ilgili istatistikler eklenmiş ve konuyla ilgili öneriler sunulmuştur.

Published: December 2024

Literatürdeki çeşitli disiplinler tarafından yapılan tanımlamalara bakıldığında küreselleşme kavramı, malların, işgücünün, sermayenin, fikirlerin, dünya üzerinde serbestçe dolaşımı sonucu ülkelerin ve kültürlerin ortak değerlerde bütünleşme süreci olarak tanımlanabilir. Küreselleşmeyle beraber ülkeler arasında siyasi, kültürel ve ekonomik ilişkilerde artış görülmektedir. İletişim ve ulaşım alanında ortaya çıkan teknolojik yenilikler küreselleşmeyi çok farklı boyutlara taşımıştır. Diğer taraftan dünya tarihinde yaşanan İstanbul’un Fethi, Sanayi Devrimi ve Sovyetler Birliği’nin yıkılışı gibi siyasi ve ekonomik kırılmalar da küreselleşme sürecinin gelişmesinde önemli yer tutmuştur. Gerek tarihsel geçmişi gerekse jeopolitik konumundan ötürü Türkiye dünyada yaşanan küreselleşme sürecinden çok boyutlu bir şekilde etkilenen bir ülke olmuştur. Bu çalışmada Türkiye’nin küreselleşme sürecinin siyasi, sosyal ve daha spesifik olarak ekonomik boyutlarıyla incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.

Authors: Daşkesen Sonay Serpil
Published: December 2024

Bu kitap bölümünde cinsiyet ve kültürel farklılıkların eğitim ve spor pedagojisi üzerindeki etkileri incelemektedir. Çeşitlilik, bireylerin farklılıklarını tanıyan ve kapsayıcı öğrenme ortamları oluşturmayı hedefleyen bir yaklaşımdır. Çalışma, bu farklılıkların eğitim ve spor süreçlerini nasıl etkilediğine dair literatürdeki bulguları özetlerken, etkili pedagojik stratejiler geliştirilmesine yönelik öneriler sunmaktadır. Cinsiyet farklılıkları, bireylerin iletişim tarzlarından motivasyon kaynaklarına, biyolojik özelliklerden öğrenme süreçlerine kadar geniş bir yelpazede etkili olmaktadır. Kız öğrenciler genellikle iş birliği ve sosyal destek odaklı bir yaklaşım benimserken, erkek öğrenciler rekabet ve bireysel başarıya odaklanmaktadır. Kadınlar dayanıklılık ve esneklik gerektiren aktivitelerde avantaj sağlarken, erkekler güç ve hız odaklı spor dallarında öne çıkmaktadır. Bu farklılıkları göz önünde bulunduran bir pedagojik yaklaşım, bireylerin potansiyellerini destekleyerek eşitlikçi bir öğrenme ortamı yaratabilir. Cinsiyetin pedagojik süreçler üzerindeki etkileri, kültürel farklılıklarla birleştiğinde daha karmaşık ve çok boyutlu bir tablo ortaya çıkmaktadır. Kültürel normlar, bireylerin cinsiyet rollerini nasıl algıladığını ve bu algıların eğitim ile spor ortamlarındaki davranışlarını şekillendirmektedir. Örneğin, bazı kültürlerde kadınların spora katılımı sınırlıyken, diğerlerinde kadın ve erkeklerin eşit düzeyde katılım göstermesi teşvik edilmektedir. Kültürel farklılıklar da cinsiyet farklılıklarında olduğu gibi bireylerin öğrenme stilleri, iletişim yöntemleri ve spor katılımında belirleyici bir rol oynamaktadır. Doğu kültürleri disiplin, öz farkındalık ve uyuma öncelik verirken, Batı kültürleri bireysel başarı, rekabet ve özgürlüğü vurgulamaktadır. Bu bağlamda, eğitmenlerin kültürel duyarlılık ve uyarlanabilir öğretim yöntemleri geliştirmesi, farklı geçmişlere sahip bireylerin öğrenme süreçlerine katılımını artırabilir. Sonuç olarak, cinsiyet ve kültürel farklılıklar pedagojik süreçlerin ayrılmaz bir parçasıdır. Eğitmenlerin bu farklılıklara duyarlılık göstermesi, bireylerin öğrenme ve spor performanslarını geliştirmelerini sağlayan daha kapsayıcı ve eşitlikçi bir ortam yaratabilir.

A composite material consisting of titanium dioxide and graphene oxide (TiO2–GO) was synthesized through a hydrothermal reaction. This reaction involved the use of Ti(SO4)2 in an ethanol–water solvent. Different content of GO was studied to find the optimum parameter. The composites were subjected to characterization, encompassing an examination of their composition, structure, and microstructure through techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectra, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. For Raman spectra, the presence of a G-band at approximately 1599 cm-1 and a D-band at 1350 cm-1 in the spectra indicates the presence of graphene oxide (GO). Therefore, the modified Hummer method synthesized graphite to GO. The findings for the XRD spectrum concerning the TiO2–GO composites revealed the presence of finely dispersed anatase TiO2 particles on the surface of the graphene oxide sheet layer. Diffraction pattern similar to pristine TiO2, only for TiO2–GO(0.75) and the peak for rutile TiO2 at 2Ɵ values 27.08° for both technique and TiO2–GO(0.5) for spray technique. Apparently, GO sheets were almost covered by anchored TiO2 particles, providing the possibility of efficient electronic conducting and electron transportation as in the SEM microstructures. EDS analysis shows the excessive carbon element for TiO2-GO(0.75) and TiO2-GO(1). The findings concerning the TiO2–GO composites revealed the presence of finely dispersed anatase TiO2 particles on the surface of the graphene oxide sheet layer. Notably, the photocatalytic performance of the TiO2–GO composite significantly surpassed that of pure TiO2 in the photodegradation of methyl blue (MB) when exposed to sunlight. The spray technique had a higher photocatalytic degradation percentage which is 82% for TiO2-GO(0.25) compared to the dropped technique 79% which is TiO2-GO(0.5). Degradation analysis of methyl blue concluded that the improved photocatalytic activity of TiO2–GO primarily results from the enhanced efficiency in trapping and transporting electrons, which can be attributed to the presence of graphene oxide (GO).
