KEFAHAMAN DAN PENERIMAAN MAHASISWA UNIVERSITI AWAM TERHADAP GERAKAN ISIS
Authors:   Universiti Utara Malaysia, YAACOB CHE MOHD AZIZ
Published: May 2024

ABSTRAK Kemunculan kumpulan ekstremis The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) di tengah-tengah kemelut dan pergolakan politik di Timur Tengah telah menjadi isu utama perbincangan mengenai ancaman terhadap keselamatan di peringkat domestik dan antarabangsa. Dalam konteks Malaysia, kemunculan kumpulan pengganas ini telah diberi perhatian serius oleh kerajaan. Serangan membabitkan rakyat Malaysia yang berlaku di rantau Timur Tengah dan siri tangkapan yang dilakukan oleh pihak berkuasa menunjukkan bahawa rakyat Malaysia telah dikenal pasti terlibat menyertai perjuangan ISIS. Tujuan kajian adalah untuk mengenal pasti tahap kefahaman dan potensi penerimaan dan penolakan terhadap ISIS dalam kalangan pelajar-pelajar institusi pengajian tinggi (IPT) di Semenanjung Malaysia. Kajian menerusi kaedah kajian rentas (cross-sectional study) dengan menggunakan borang soal selidik dan perbincangan kumpulan fokus (focus group discussion, FGD) telah dilakukan ke atas 1200 responden dari kalangan pelajar-pelajar IPT awam dan swasta di Semenanjung Malaysia yang dibahagikan kepada 4 zon utama (Utara, Tengah, Selatan dan Pantai Timur). Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa majoriti pelajar IPT masih belum mempunyai pemahaman jelas tentang ISIS. Tahap kefahaman responden tersebut dipengaruhi oleh pelbagai faktor seperti media massa, media sosial dan rakan-rakan. Walaupun secara umumnya dapatan dari sudut tahap penerimaan dan penolakan menunjukkan bahawa majoriti responden didapati menolak perjuangan ISIS, masih terdapat sebilangan kecil responden yang masih belum pasti mengenainya malah ada yang didapati bersetuju dan menyokong ISIS. Hasil penyelidikan ini menunjukkan peranan lebih serius harus dimainkan oleh kerajaan untuk menangani isu ini sebelum ia berkembang menjadi ancaman yang lebih serius kepada keselamatan negara.

Authors: Pranoyo Tomy
Published: May 2024

This quantitative study investigates the relationship between training, job performance, career development, organizational commitment, and job satisfaction among police officers in the HR Bureau of Gorontalo Regional Police. Data were collected through a survey from a sample of 157 officers and analyzed using SPSS version 26. Descriptive, correlation, regression, and mediation analyses were conducted to explore these relationships. The results showed significant positive correlations between training, performance, career development, organizational commitment, and job satisfaction. Regression analysis showed that both training and job performance significantly predicted career development, organizational commitment, and job satisfaction. Mediation analysis further demonstrated the mediating role of career development in explaining the relationship between training, job performance, organizational commitment, and job satisfaction. These findings underscore the importance of investing in training programs and developing career development pathways in police organizations to improve organizational outcomes and officer well-being.

Objective: Ovarian tissue vitrification is widely utilized for fertility preservation in prepubertal and adolescent female patients with cancer. The current literature includes reports of successful pregnancy and live birth following autografting. However, the effects of the vitrification process on cumulus-mural granulosa cells (C-mGCs)—somatic cells in ovarian tissue crucial for oocyte maturation and early embryonic development—remain unclear. This study was conducted to explore the impact of vitrification on the cellular function of C-mGCs by quantifying the expression of growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF-9), bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP-15), follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR), luteinizing hormone receptor (LHR), connexin 37, survivin, and caspase 3.Methods: Mature and immature C-mGCs were obtained from 38 women with polycystic ovary syndrome who participated in an in vitro fertilization program. The C-mGCs were then divided into two groups: fresh and vitrified. The expression levels of target genes were assessed using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Results: After vitrification, GDF-9 expression was significantly decreased among both mature and immature C-mGCs, with 0.2- and 0.1-fold changes, respectively (p<0.01). Similarly, FSHR expression in the mature and immature groups was reduced by 0.1- and 0.02-fold, respectively, following vitrification (p<0.01). The expression levels of the other genes, including BMP-15, LHR, connexin 37, survivin, and caspase 3, remained similar across the examined groups (p>0.05). Conclusion: Vitrification may compromise oocyte maturation through reduced GDF-9 and FSHR expression in C-mGCs after warming.

The work, methodologically conceived as a comparative study of foreign public law, analyses fundamental questions of the French transition process. Taking particular account of the authorisation of onshore wind turbines, significant conflicting goals at the realisation level are identified. Finally, the work addresses administrative litigation relating to the authorisation of wind turbines, which arise in the interest of accelerating projects.
Rechtspopulistische Parteien
Authors: Kurze Michael
Published: May 2024

In this publication, the author compares four representatives of Western European right-wing populist parties (FPÖ, AfD, PVV, RN) based on their ideologies, histories, organisation, voter bases and their cooperation in Europe. He concludes that they constitute more than an unintended family. This uniquely extensive comparison considers right-wing populism the ideological core of their relation to each other. Growing reconciliation among right-wing populist parties can also be seen in their increasing willingness to cooperate within the European Parliament. However, a qualitative analysis of their party programmes, which forms the main part of this study, reveals significant differences between them, for example in terms of the parties’ economic and environmental policies.

Modesty Versus Stigma: International Perceptions of Muslim Women's Clothing
Authors: Amin Hassan
Published: May 2024

For far too long Muslim women have been targeted mainly for the way they are dressed. Their clothing is normally loose fitting, not see through or they do not wear the clothing designed for men. Many of them also wear hijab or some style of head covering or headscarf. These coverings have other names such as: burqa, niqab and chador. They wear the fore mentioned clothing as a form of modesty from unrelated men and obedience to Allah. They are directed by Allah (Almighty GOD) to dress in this fashion. Allah says, “And tell the believing women that they must lower their gazes and guard their private parts, and must not expose their adornment, except that which appears thereof, and must wrap their bosoms with their shawls, and must not expose their adornment, except to their husbands or their fathers or the fathers of their husbands, or to their sons or the sons of their husbands, or to their brothers or the sons of their brothers or the sons of their sisters, or to their women, or to those owned by their right hands, or male attendants having no (sexual) urge, or to the children who are not yet conscious of the shames of women. And let them not stamp their feet in a way that the adornment they conceal is known. And repent to Allah O believers, all of you, so that you may achieve success.” (Quran 24:31) There are established worldwide policies or laws that forbid or prohibited Muslim women from dressing the way they are commanded by Allah.
The research design was exploratory allowing for the flexibility needed for this study. The study’s method was qualitative from secondary data through a literature review and conducted standardized questionnaires.
Collected reviewed literature and random completed constructed standardized questionnaires by 6 Muslim women and 4 Muslim men had presented an array of viewpoints regarding how they were treated just based on their dress.

Authors: Ertemür Zeynep , Aydın Hüseyin , Engin Aynur
Published: May 2024

Objective: Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) has an important place in viral hemorrhagic fever. Plasma amino acid (AA) levels of patients who were diagnosed with CCHF in the acute and convalescent period of the disease were investigated in this study.
Methods: 35 patients were included in the study specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and/or IgM antibody positivity for CCHF virus. AA levels were measured in the plasma derived from the blood samples of the patient and control groups, using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) technique.
Results: In our study, we observed that plasma aspartate, glutamate, histidine, leucine, phenylalanine, tyrosine levels increased statistically significantly (p<0.05), while some AA levels decreased (p<0.05) in acute stage patients compared to the control groups. In addition, while there was an increase in plasma glutamate levels of convalescent patients compared to the control groups (p<0.05), there was a significant decrease in other AA levels (p<0.05).
            Conclusion: Further studies to investigate the relationship between increased or decreased AAs in the plasma levels of these patients and the immune system are likely to contribute to a better understanding of the pathogenesis of the disease and to guide the approach to whether AA supplementation is necessary for treatment.

A Rare Syndrome in Adolescents: Capgras Syndrome and Its Psychopharmacological Treatment
Authors: Canol Özbek Tuğçe , Özbek Mutlu Muhammed
Published: May 2024

In this letter to editor, while explaining the process leading to Capgras syndrome (CS), it will be tried to evaluate the psychodynamic, cognitive, neurological, and systemic factors as a result of the anamnesis and detailed examinations. Clinical aspects of the syndrome, psychopharmacologic agents to be used in the treatment process, and these agents' mechanisms of acts will be discussed. Y.B., a 16-year-old female patient, was admitted to our clinic by her family with complaints of restlessness, introversion, and voices in her ears. A psychiatric examination revealed that the patient had persecutory, referential, and somatic delusions and that her family was replaced with other families in her thought content. In the initial treatment of the patient, risperidone was preferred, and sertraline was added to her treatment after the regression in her symptoms was not at the desired level. CS is the most common type of misidentification syndrome. The patient believes that their parents, friends, or themselves have been replaced by people similar to them and may show strong hostility and distrust toward their environment. Although there is no single cause, biological and psychological factors are thought to play a role in its etiopathogenesis. When the literature is examined, it is seen that there are reports of CS in adults, and the number of case reports in adolescence is lower. It should be kept in mind that although rare, CS can be seen in the pediatric and young population and the addition of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors may be beneficial in cases that do not respond to antipsychotic treatment.

Authors: Bromley Timothy , Lewis Keziah , Fitzpatrick Colin , Richardson Daniel
Published: May 2024

Objective: The pathophysiology of CMV procto-colitis in immunocompetent adults is poorly understood. We aimed to systematically review the literature to explore factors, presenting symptoms and endoscopy findings associated with CMV procto-colitis in immunocompetent adults.
Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, we conducted a narrative systematic review by searching MEDLINE, EMBASE, EMCARE and CINAHL for manuscripts published up to August 2023. One author screened manuscript abstracts; two authors independently conducted a full text review. We included manuscripts which included primary data of immunocompetent adults with CMV procto-colitis except case reports. Quality and risk of bias was assessed independently by two authors using the Joanna Briggs institute critical appraisal tools.
Results: 8 manuscripts were included in the final review from the USA (n=2), China (n=2), Korea (n=2), India (n=1) and Brazil (n=1) and consisted of 6 case series, one case-control study and one cross-sectional study published between 1988-2022. We identified demographic and behavioural factors (older age, lower BMI, receptive anal sex), infection factors (urinary tract infections, shigellosis, Hepatitis C, COVID-19, sepsis, antimicrobial use), medical conditions (cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, renal disease, auto-immune disease, diabetes) and hospitalisation factors (intensive care admission, longer length of hospital stay) associated with CMV procto-colitis in immunocompetent adults. Patients presented with rectal bleeding, diarrhoea, melaena, fever, nausea/vomiting, abdominal pain/bloating and constipation. Large bowel endoscopy findings were ulcers, erosions, and erythema and polyp/mass lesions.
Conclusion: We have highlighted factors, presenting symptoms and endoscopy findings associated with CMV procto-colitis in immunocompetent patients which provides insight for clinical guideline development and future research.

THE ROLE OF THE MEDIA IN CREATING THE IMAGE OF A TOURIST DESTINATION
Authors: Zolak Velibor
Published: May 2024

The issue of image, personal, organizational, brand, destination, is one of the most important issues that attracts the attention of the social, business and scientific public. This paper draws attention to the need for a comprehensive treatment of the image, the mechanisms of its formation, and especially to the difficulties of considering the image phenomenon in isolation, separated from its basis - identity. Numerous studies of the image of tourist destinations in the past decades, mostly of an empirical nature, remain on the surface of this phenomenon. Their results do not contribute to a deeper understanding of this phenomenon, primarily due to the absence of an appropriate conceptualization and theoretical framework. Regarding the image of the destination, the most important thing is, of course, its end result, but the analysis of the image phenomenon, the separation of one into its constituent factors, different, opposite and contradictory, reveals levers whose shaping and use can influence the end result - the image. The role of mass media in this process, especially in the digital era, is very significant, but not decisive.

THE INTERSECTION OF SCIENCE AND POLICY IN SPORTS SAFETY
Authors: Jović Radislav , Vitković Biljana , Nešić Andrijana
Published: May 2024

The growing and deepening geopolitical differences suggest a growing threat to international security. People often ask us if there is still a cold war. With the involvement of regional and international forces, crises are becoming more widespread and conflicts are becoming more transnational. This is confirmed by the situation in Ukraine, as well as by the rising tensions and conjecture on a European military confrontation. Even in 2021, with fewer people traveling across EU borders due to the COVID-19 epidemic, migration remains one of the most contentious issues in European politics. In an attempt to slow the spread and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, nations have limited international, transnational, and domestic travel. This has had an impact on migration and human mobility in the European region. Safety in sports is of paramount importance to ensure the well-being and longevity of athletes across various disciplines.

Published: May 2024

This research aims to determine and describe the management of religious activities, along with the supporting and inhibiting factors of religious activities carried out at the Thoyyibah Banyuanyar Mosque. This research is qualitative, using a phenomenological research approach. The data sources in this research use primary and secondary data sources. The primary data sources referred to are the chairman of the takmir and the missionary of the Thoyyibah Mosque, while the secondary data sources are data in the form of documents. The data analysis technique in this research uses the analysis model according to Miles and Huberman, namely data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The validity of the data in this research uses two types of triangulation, namely source triangulation and technique triangulation. The results of this research show that there are various kinds of religious activities carried out at the Thoyyibah Mosque, including routine recitations and community markets, while strengthening its activities by carrying out management functions including planning, organising, implementing, and supervising. The supporting factors for managing religious activities include funding sources, the strategic location of the mosque, community enthusiasm, and cooperation with mosque administrators. The inhibiting factors are the mosque's parking space, which is not spacious enough, and mosque youth, who do not contribute enough to participate in activities.

Review of quantum algorithms for prediction of hazardous asteroids
Authors: Bhagwakar Priya Pareshbhai , Thaker Chirag Suryakant , Joshiara Hetal A.
Published: May 2024

Quantum computing (QC) and quantum machine learning (QML), two emerging technologies, have the potential to completely change how we approach solving difficult problems in physics and astronomy, among other fields. Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHAs) can produce a variety of damaging phenomena that put biodiversity and human life at serious risk. Although PHAs have been identified through the use of machine learning (ML) techniques, the current approaches have reached a point of saturation, signaling the need for additional innovation. This paper provides an in-depth examination of various machine learning (ML) and QML techniques for precisely identifying potentially hazardous asteroids. The study attempts to provide information to improve the efficiency and accuracy of asteroid categorization by combining QML techniques like deep learning with a variety of machine learning (ML) algorithms, such as Random Forest and support vector machines. The study highlights weaknesses in existing approaches, including feature selection and model assessment, and suggests directions for further investigation. The results highlight the significance of developing QML techniques to increase the prediction of asteroid hazards, consequently supporting enhanced risk assessment and space exploration efforts. Paper reviews might not be related because the study only looks at generic paper reviews.
Gender-Based Violence against Zimbabwean Migrant Women in Botswana

Published: May 2024

This study prioritises the experiences of Zimbabwean migrant women and their human security in the context of gender-based violence in Botswana. The study utilised the social constructivism theory and the social-ecological model to provide a comprehensive understanding of how gender-based violence occurs in society and how social realities construct migrant women’s experiences. Using a qualitative research approach, secondary data was collected to investigate the gender-based violence experiences of Zimbabwean migrant women. The study found that migrant women experienced various forms of abuse, including intimate partner violence with both foreign and local partners, sexual violence and harassment in their host communities, trafficking and smuggling, and sexual abuse in detention centres, all rooted in xenophobic sentiments. Power imbalances and irregularities in structural relationships between men and women were identified as significant factors contributing to violence. The findings indicate that cultural beliefs and gender roles from the country of origin and host country contribute to migrant women’s reluctance to report or disclose their experiences of gender-based violence. Patriarchal ideologies further affect judgment towards survivors and contribute to the acceptance and normalization of gender-based violence. This study contributes to the literature on human insecurities faced by migrant women and their responses to these insecurities. It highlights the need for policies that address the underlying causes of gender-based violence and promote the empowerment of migrant women.

Published: May 2024

Postoperative pancreatic fistulas (POPFs) are common adverse events that occur after pancreatic surgery. Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)-guided drainage (EUS-D) is a first-line treatment, similar to that for pancreatic fluid collection (PFCs) after acute pancreatitis. However, some POPFs do not develop fluid collections depending on the presence or location of the surgical drain, whereas others develop fluid collections, such as postoperative fluid collections (POPFCs). Although POPFCs are similar to PFCs, the strategy and modality for POPF management need to be modified according to the presence of fluid collections, surgical drains, and surgical type. As discussed for PFCs, the indications, timing, and selection of interventions or stents for EUS-D have not been fully elucidated for POPFs. In this review, we discuss the management of POPFs and POPFCs in comparison with PFCs due to acute pancreatitis and summarize the topics that should be addressed in future studies.

Background/Aims: Endoscopic biliary drainage using self-expandable metallic stents (SEMSs) for malignant biliary strictures occasionally induces acute cholecystitis (AC). This study evaluated the efficacy of prophylactic gallbladder stents (GBS) during SEMS placement.Methods: Among 158 patients who underwent SEMS placement for malignant biliary strictures between January 2018 and March 2023, 30 patients who attempted to undergo prophylactic GBS placement before SEMS placement were included.Results: Technical success was achieved in 21 cases (70.0%). The mean diameter of the cystic duct was more significant in the successful cases (6.5 mm vs. 3.7 mm, p<0.05). Adverse events occurred for 7 patients (23.3%: acute pancreatitis in 7; non-obstructive cholangitis in 1; perforation of the cystic duct in 1 with an overlap), all of which improved with conservative treatment. No patients developed AC when the GBS placement was successful, whereas 25 of the 128 patients (19.5%) without a prophylactic GBS developed AC during the median follow-up period of 357 days (p=0.043). In the multivariable analysis, GBS placement was a significant factor in preventing AC (hazard ratio, 0.61; 95% confidence interval, 0.37–0.99; p=0.045).Conclusions: GBS may contribute to the prevention of AC after SEMS placement for malignant biliary strictures.

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD), a severe diabetic complication affecting approximately one-third of diabetic patients, is the leading cause of end-stage chronic kidney disease. The benefits of regular exercise for patients with DKD have been well documented, particularly in overweight patients with DKD. However, the underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood. The present study demonstrates that exercise improves kidney function in diabetic db/db mice through activating PPARδ-mediated fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO). Twelve-week treadmill running exercise improved kidney function in db/db mice. Metabolomics and transcriptomics profiling analysis collectively revealed that dysregulation of FAO in db/db mice was largely corrected by running exercise. KEGG pathway enrichment revealed that PPAR pathway, a critical signalling cascade in FAO and exercise, is involved in DKD, suggesting PPARδ activation protects renal function through promoting FAO. Which was confirmed by improved renal function and enhanced FAO in db/db mice treated with PPARδ agonist GW501516. Oppositely, PPARδ-specific inhibitor GSK0660 abolished exercise-mediated improvement in renal function and FAO. In combining with gene expression profiling data we identified CPT1α, the rate-limiting enzyme in fatty acid oxidation, was suppressed in the kidney of diabetic mice and reversed by exercise and the PPARδ agonist GW501516. The findings hint at a potential role for the PPARδ-CPT1α pathway in exercise-induced improvements in diabetic renal function and may warrant further exploration of the PPARδ-CPT1α pathway as a therapeutic target in DKD.

Oleh karena itu uji golongan darah penting dilakukan sejak dini agar masyarakat tidak mengalami keterlambatan penanganan kebutuhan darah dalam kondisi medis yang memungkinkan dilakukannya transfusi darah. Kegiatan pengabdian mayarakat ini bertujuan untuk memberikan pemahaman dan peningkatan pengetahuan warga mengenai tipe golongan darah ABO, serta memfasilitasi warga untuk mengetahui tipe golongan darahnya melalui uji golongan darah. Metode yang digunakan adalah ceramah dan tanya jawab serta eksperimental terkait sosialisasi dan uji golongan darah. Pada uji golongan darah di RW 01 Kelurahan Sukapura, diperoleh data terdapat 52% bergolongan darah A, 26% bergolongan darah B, 16% bergolongan darah O, dan 6% bergolongan darah AB. Pada kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini, terdapat peningkatan pengetahuan warga RW 01 Kelurahan Sukapura mengenai sistem penggolongan darah sistem ABO dan warga terfasilitasi untuk mengetahui tipe golongan darahnya melalui uji golongan darah.

The fundamental task of vocational education is to cultivate moral character and nurture talents. In order to effectively address the issues of insufficient exploration of ideological and political elements in the Emergency Handling of Urban Rail Transit course, rigid integration of ideological and political elements into the curriculum, and imperfect evaluation system of ideological and political elements in the curriculum, we conducted research on the professional competence of station operation posts in urban rail transit companies and extracted six core job competencies. Based on these core competencies, we have thoroughly explored the teaching resources of Kecheng-Sizheng and designed a Kecheng-Sizheng teaching system. According to the characteristics of the emergency handling of urban rail transit courses, we have constructed a “One Body, Three Circles, Seven Steps” model for curriculum ideological and political teaching, which organically integrates explicit professional knowledge with implicit ideological and political elements. We have also established a diversified Kecheng-Sizheng evaluation system, which vertically evaluates and motivates students selfimprovement and horizontally evaluates classroom teaching effectiveness, thus forming a comprehensive evaluation system that aligns with core job competencies and professional skills, covering all staff members and the entire process.

To explore the relationship and mechanism of mobile phone addiction, self-control and learning burnout among college students, 1077 college students were measured by College Students’ Mobile Phone Addiction Tendency Scale, College Students’ Learning Burnout Scale and Self-Control Scale, and the data were analyzed by latent variable structural equation model in this paper. It finds that (1) Mobile phone addiction was positively correlated with learning burnout and its sub-dimensions, and negatively correlated with self-control and its sub-dimensions (P < 0.001). (2) Self-control played a significant moderating role between mobile phone addiction and learning burnout (β = 0.11, P < 0.001); (3) When self-control was high, mobile phone addiction had no significant effect on learning burnout (β = 0.06, P > 0.05). When self-control was low, mobile phone addiction had a significant effect on learning burnout (β = -0.16, P < 0.001). With the increase of mobile phone addiction, learning burnout decreased to a certain extent, but there was always strong learning burnout in the case of low self-control. College students’ mobile phone addiction has a positive impact on learning burnout, and self-control can regulate the relationship between mobile phone addiction and learning burnout.

Білім беру саласындағы мұғалімдердің негізгі құралы – оқулық. Оқулықтардың мазмұнына қойылатын талаптардың бірі – терминдердің жүйелі қолданылуы. Мақаланың мақсаты – мемлекеттік терминологиялық коммиссия бекіткен терминдердің оқулықтарда  қолданылу деңгейін анықтау. Осы мақсатқа сәйкес мақалада «Ақпараттық-коммуникациялық технологиялар» 4-сынып,  «Информатика» 5-сынып,  «Информатика» 6-сынып, «Информатика» 7-сынып (Алматыкітап баспасы), «Информатика» 7-сынып (Атамұра баспасы), «Информатика» 7-сынып (Арман – ПВ баспасы) мектеп оқулықтарының негізгі терминдері  termincom.kz сайтындағы, терминдермен салыстырылды. Салыстырылу нәтижесінде мынадай мәселелер анықталды: termincom.kz қорындағы информатика саласына қатысты бекітілген терминдердің оқулықтарда қолданылмай, басқа нұсқаларының қолданылуы, информатика саласына қатысты оқулықтардағы кейбір терминдердің termincom.kz қорында қамтылмауы, оқулықтарда  орыс тіліндегі терминдер бірінші жазылып, қазақ тіліндегі терминдердің жақша ішінде жазылуы, орыс тіліндегі әртүрлі ұғымды білдіретін екі терминнің орнына қазақ тілінде бір терминнің қолданылуы. Осындай мәселелер туындамас үшін, терминолог мамандар мен сала мамандары бірлесіп жұмыстар атқарып терминдерді бекітуі керек. Оқулық жазу барысында авторлар бекітілген терминдерге назар аударып, соларды қолдану дағдысын қалыптастырулары қажет. Термин ұғым мен мағынаны толық сипаттай алмайтын жағдай болса, авторлар өздерінің ұсыныстарын мемлекеттік терминологиялық коммиссияға ұсынулары қажет. Жазылған оқулықтарға сараптама жасалған кезде, пән бойынша базалық ғылыми мазмұнның сақталуы үшін терминдерге баса назар аударылуы қажет.

Бұл мақалада мектеп білім алушыларының кәсіби бағдарлануындағы эмоционалды интеллекттің рөлі зерттеледі. Зерттеудің мақсаты мектеп білім алушыларының кәсіби бағдарлануындағы эмоционалды интеллектінің рөлі, эмоционалды инттелект пен мектеп білім алушыларының мамандық таңдаудағы ниеті мен әсер ететін факторларын зерттеу. Зерттеу Павлодар қаласының 8, 9 және 10 сынып оқушылары арасында жүргізілді. Зерттеу эмоционалды интеллект деңгейін анықтауға арналған Д. Люсиннің «ЭмИн» сауалнамасы және авторлық кәсіптік бағдар беру сауалнамасын қолдану арқылы жүргізілді. Нәтижелер мектеп білім алушыларының эмоционалды интеллект деңгейі мамандық таңдаудағы ниеттерімен, сондай-ақ осы таңдауға әсер ететін факторлар мен кедергілермен байланысты екенін көрсетті. Эмоционалды интеллектуалды сауатты мектеп білім алушылары кәсіптің әлеуметтік маңыздылығына байланысты аспектілерді басшылыққа алады, ал эмоционалды интеллектісі төмен деңгейді көрсеткен мектеп білім алушылары материалдық аспектілер мен сыртқы әсер етуші факторларға бағытталған. Бұл нәтижелер мектеп білім алушыларын саналы мамандық таңдауға және болашақ жұмыс ортасында сәтті бейімделуге дайындау мақсатында эмоционалды интеллекттің дамуын білім беру процесіне біріктірудің маңыздылығын көрсетеді. Бұл зерттеу білім беру мекемелері мен педагогтер, ата-аналар үшін практикалық жағынан маңызды болып табылады.
