Authors: Wulandari Retno
Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT

The Think Pair Share strategy was chosen for the following reasons, including: (1) based on daily observations on previous material until this research was conducted, students in class XI IIS 1 achieved learning outcomes that were low and lack of interest in learning Mathematics due to a mindset of knowledge Mathematics is abstract, and (2) this Think-Pair-Share strategy has never been practiced and carried out either by researchers as educators or by students in class XI IIS 1. In its implementation there are a number of crucial elements that must be done so that the application of TPS can increase activeness student learning. These important things are: (1) the Thinking stage is carried out in groups. Each group consists of 2 people and holds discussions with the help of LKPD, (2) in the Pair stage it is carried out with students in groups with 4 members consisting of a combination of 2 groups in the previous stage (3) in the Share stage one of the groups in the pair stage is asked to explain the results of the group discussion in completing the LKPD in front of the class with the attention of all students in the class. The results showed that the steps of the 100% Think Pair Share (TPS) type of cooperative learning model could increase the learning activity of class XI IIS 1 MAN 1 Pasuruan students then indicators of success in cognitive and psychomotor aspects were > 80% well fulfilled.

Published: December 2023

Learning Arabic speaking skills is very important in learning a foreign language because language is a communication tool. However, students experience difficulties in developing Arabic speaking skills. This is due to the lack of student motivation and practice in speaking Arabic. So a project-based learning strategy is used to overcome this problem. This learning process can make students more active and creative in learning to speak Arabic. This research was conducted to describe project-based learning strategies in speaking skills in the Arabic language learning process for class X MAN Batu City students. This research method uses descriptive qualitative, namely describing the data obtained. The data sources in this research are teachers and students of class X MAN Batu City. The data analysis technique used in this research describes the results of observations, interviews, student product results and student responses to the learning process. The findings of this research are that the project-based learning process for class X students' speaking skills at MAN Batu City can stimulate motivation and enthusiasm for learning. In conclusion, project-based learning aims to solve problems and teach students to think critically in the product completion process. The steps that teachers can use in the project-based learning process are: 1) determine the basic problem, 2) create a project plan, 3) work on the project, 4) present the product results, 5) assess, and 6) evaluate. The product results are used as a student portfolio to determine their learning progress. This learning strategy can be practiced by teachers in the process of learning Arabic or other foreign languages.

This article aims to contribute to an analysis of the level of the Websites of the Portuguese District Archives and equivalent (ADs), an assessment based on the perspectives of users and archive professionals, namely on aspects of the functionality, accessibility and interaction of these websites, thus rectifying an existing gap in the literature on this subject. For this purpose, the Quadripolar Method was adopted, complemented by criteria based on two central references: CONARQ and DLGAB. The process began with a review of the existing literature on Web mediation in about 24 ADs and equivalent in Portugal (Aveiro, Beja, Braga and University of Minho, Bragança, Castelo Branco, University of Coimbra, Guarda, Alfredo Pimenta – Guimarães, Évora, Leiria, Lisbon, Portalegre, Porto, Santarém, Setúbal, Viana do Castelo, Vila Real, Viseu, Madeira, Angra do Heroísmo, Ponta Delgada, Horta, Torre Tombo) and a methodology of action was implemented consisting of online surveys sent to 595 users. The objective of this study was to diagnose the level of interactivity of ADs based on the perceptions of the users surveyed, in order to know to what extent the Internet brings new potentialities in the mediation of ADs' information.
Hogyan befolyásolja a biológiával kapcsolatos tévképzeteket a tantárgyi eredményesség és az eszközhasználat?
Authors: Mády Réka , Hegedűs Roland
Published: December 2023

Háttér és célok: Jelen kutatásban tanulásban akadályozott és tipikus fejlődésmenetű, hetedik osztályos tanulók biológiával kapcsolatos tévképzeteit vizsgáljuk a tantárgyi teljesítmény, valamint a biológia órákon történő eszközhasználat összefüggésében. A tévképzetek vizsgálata már régóta foglalkoztatja a kutatókat (Korom, 1997, 2002, 2022; Kádár & Farsang, 2019), ennek egyik lehetséges eszköze a szóasszociációs módszer, amivel lehetőségünk van az ismeretek és a tévképzetek gyors és hatékony feltárására (Sójáné & Tóth, 2017). A tipikus fejlődésmenetű iskolások esetében gyakoriak az ilyen irányú kutatások hazai és nemzetközi téren is (Timur, 2012; Daru & Tóth, 2014), viszont a tanulásban akadályozott tanulók körében kevésbé jellemző, továbbá a két tanulócsoport ilyen jellegű összehasonlítására még nem került sor.

Módszer: A kutatás első részét egy saját összeállítású kérdőív felvétele képezte, ezt követte a szóasszociációs vizsgálat, ami során a tanulóknak egy percük volt arra, hogy a megadott hívószavakra asszociáljanak. Az így kapott adatokat SPSS programban, ANOVA módszerével elemeztük.

Eredmények: Az eredményeinkben jól látható a különbség a két tanulócsoport tévképzeteit illetően, mert a tanulásban akadályozott tanulók egységnyi idő alatt több tévképzetet produkálnak. További eredmény annak megismerése, hogy az olyan tényezők, mint a tantárgyi eredményesség, illetve az órákon történő eszközhasználat milyen hatással van a tanulók szóasszociációs képességére.

Következtetések: Az alacsony elemszám miatt általános következtetéseket nem vonhatunk le, de a vizsgálat során rávilágítottunk a problémás területekre, továbbá javaslatokat tehetünk olyan tényezőkre, amelyekkel növelhető a helyes asszociációk aránya, így kevesebb tévképzet épülhet be a tanulók ismeretelsajátítása során.

Published: December 2023

The September 26, 2019 Silivri earthquake (MW=5.6-5.8) occurred along the North Anatolian Fault Zone segments extending beneath the Marmara Sea. In the present study the teleseismic P waveforms and 20-year long background seismicity of the earthquake (MW=5.6-5.8) have been analyzed. Point-source inversion of the teleseismic P waveforms revealed that the earthquake was due to oblique faulting and released a seismic moment of 3.2 x 1017 Nm (MW=5.6). The frequency-magnitude distributions (FMDs) for the background seismicity have been calculated for 5-year long time windows after the 1999 İzmit earthquake. The considerable decrease of b-value of the FMDs just before the 2019 Silivri earthquake has been interpreted as stress increase along the fault segments which provides a reasonable clue for the occurrence of the earthquake. The FMD distribution for the 5 year-long time windows before the 2019 Silivri earthquake suggests a recurrence time interval of 168 years and occurrence probability of %16 within the next 30 years for a Mw=7.5 earthquake.

Sweet corn (Zea mays saccsharata Sturt.) is one of the plants that is widely produced and a source of food staples in Indonesia, such as processed food, drinks, and so on. The low productivity of sweet corn in North Lampung is caused by the use of excessive doses and the wrong fertilization method. This problem can be overcome by implementing a good cultivation system, including applying fertilization with the right dosage so that plants can produce according to their potential results.The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of NPK fertilizer treatment on the growth and yield of sweet corn at the best dose of NPK fertilizer on the growth and yield of sweet corn. This research was conducted experimentally using RAL (Completely Randomized Design). It consists of one factor with 3 levels, namely K0: Control, K1: Giving NPK 150 kg/ha (1.8 kg/plant plot) K2: Giving NPK 300 kg/ha (3.6 kg/plant plot).The results showed that the NPK treatment had a significant effect on plant height at 30 HST. The stem diameter showed a significant effect when the sweet corn was 30 and 45 HST. The number of leaves shows that NPK fertilizer has no real effect. The length of the cobs with husks, the length of the cobs without husks, the weight of the husked cobs, the weight of the cobs without husks and the weight of the stover showed real results.

Authors: Baltakova Ahinora , Kenderova Rossitza , Samichkova Galina , Nikolov Vassil
Published: December 2023

Archaeological excavations in the area of Gortalovo village, Pleven district (Middle Danube Lowland) found a cultural layer dated to 5000–4850 BC – the Late Neolithic period. The main practice of the agricultural and livestock breeding settlement established there was flint tools production. During the archaeological and interdisciplinary geomorphological field work buried sink-holes were found. Karstic landscape was covered with dark clayish soil, which was sampled for further sedimentological analysis. In the paper are presented the results from grain size analysis, which defines the characteristics of the top-layer and some indications of processes responsible for burying the karst features. The results showed that soil layer was developed on a karstified limestone, covered by loess sediments. The soil layer in the area is defined as heavy clayish chernozem and the middle soil profile responds to the filling of the dolines – darker and clayish.

Published: December 2023

Education is the right of every individual, regardless of race, creed, gender, abilities, or skills, and children with and without special needs as well. As a long time has passed, those who are concerned and working in the field of education still face serious questions like what kind of strategies or methodologies should be adopted or adapted to provide education to differently abled children and ordinary children in the same context. It is necessary to find out the teachers' practices towards the implementation of inclusive education in Sindh. The key purpose of this study was to identify the practical challenges faced by teachers towards the successful implementation of inclusive education in public primary-level schools in Sindh. The population of the current study was the public primary-level schools of the city of Nawabshah, Sindh. A self-designed questionnaire was developed and distributed among the 16 public primary-level schools (8 boys and 8 girls), and one senior teacher and two students from each school were selected as a sample for the study. The questionnaire consisted of 15 items related to teachers' practices for implementing inclusive education in their respective schools, and five items pertain to concerned students. The SPSS software was utilized for data analysis. The findings of the study reveal that the teachers of public primary schools were unaware of the teaching practices of differently abled children. Moreover, they never attended seminars or conferences and did not undergo any training regarding the implementation of inclusive education. The study recommended that a chapter regarding the concept of inclusive education, including teaching practices, be included in teachers' training manuals so that teachers are aware of the concept of inclusion or inclusive education and teaching practices regarding an inclusive classroom. Moreover, there were some hindrances in policy, school leadership, adequate teaching and learning material, and curriculum.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), can manifest in multiple organs. While the primary manifestations of COVID-19 occur in the respiratory system, other organ systems are also involved, including nervous systems that cause neurological symptoms. The aim of this study was to determine the neurological manifestations of COVID-19 patients and to assess the role of age and sex on neurological manifestation incidence. A cross-sectional study was conducted at Pelamonia Hospital, Makassar, Indonesia, among inpatient COVID-19 cases, using a total sampling method. Demographic data and neurological manifestations of the COVID-19 patients were collected. The associations between age and sex with the incidence of neurological symptoms were analyzed using the Chi-squared test. Out of 424 inpatients with COVID-19 cases, 62.3% were females, with the highest age group was 20–40 years (42.7%). The neurological symptoms were reported in 232 patients, accounting for approximately 54.7%. The most frequently reported neurological symptom was headache (n=104, 44.8%), followed by anosmia (n=44, 18.9%), ageusia (n=48, 20.6%), myopathy (n=14, 6%), stroke (n=10, 4.3%), seizure (n=5, 2.1%), and altered consciousness (n=7, 3%). An association was found between sex and the incidence of headache, myopathy, stroke, and altered consciousness. There was also an association between age and the incidence of headache and stroke. The study highlights that COVID-19 patients commonly exhibit neurological implications affecting the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. Therefore, it is crucial for the early detection of neurological symptoms in COVID-19 cases to have better management.

Carbon monoxide (CO), resulting from incomplete combustion such as tobacco smoking, serves as an indicator of nicotine addiction. The aim of this study was to compare the levels of exhaled CO levels between electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) and tobacco smokers and to determine the association between nicotine dependence and exhaled CO levels in e-cigarette and tobacco smokers. A cross-sectional study was conducted using purposive sampling on active smokers, with 70 smokers in each group. The nicotine dependence was measured using the Penn State Nicotine Dependence Index (PSNDI) questionnaire for the e-cigarette group and the Fagerstrom questionnaire for the tobacco smoking group. The CO level was measured using the smokerlyzer piCO. To compare the mean exhaled CO levels between e-cigarettes and tobacco smoker groups, the Mann-Whitney test was used. The Mann-Whitney test and Kruskal-Wallis test were used to assess the associations between nicotine dependence and mean exhaled CO levels in the e-cigarette smoker group and in the tobacco smoker group, respectively. The majority of e-cigarette smokers were 17 years old (65.7%) and male (75.7%). Among tobacco smokers, the majority were also 17 years old (44.3%), and mostly male (91.4%). The mean exhaled CO levels in the tobacco smoker group were significantly higher than the e-cigarette smoker group, 6.86 ppm vs 1.61 ppm with p<0.001. There was a significant association between nicotine dependence and exhaled CO levels among tobacco smokers (p<0.001). Nicotine dependence was not associated with exhaled CO levels among e-cigarette smokers. This study highlights that the smokerlyzer piCO devise could be used to screen nicotine addiction in tobacco smokers.
The very marrow of the national idea: The Frontier Wars and the Australian curriculum

Published: December 2023

Prior to the 1970s Indigenous issues were largely absent from Australian history classrooms. Schools largely taught British and European history, an approach grounded in a hagiographic treatment of European settlement and the nation’s experience of foreign wars. The wave of non-British post-Second World War migration and an increased focus on Australia’s relationship with the United States, including its strategic importance as a Pacific nation, made a white, male, mono-cultural national identity increasingly difficult to maintain. Political parties from the Left and Right have repeatedly clashed over their competing conceptions of the core elements of Australia’s national identity, which in turn has underpinned a sustained controversy over the development of a national history curriculum and the classroom practice it shapes. In particular, the question of how the Australian Frontier Wars can be taught within a socio/cultural context that celebrates foreign wars as the birthplace of the nation and considers European settlement to be an overwhelmingly benign process is one of the central controversies that has marred the development and evolution of the Australian Curriculum: History.

Motherhood issues in ancient Greek tragedy
Authors: Πράσινος Α.
Published: December 2023

Η ελληνική τραγωδία διαθέτει ένα πλήθος παραδειγμάτων ακραίας έκφανσης της μητρότητας. Καταρχάς, στο έργο Μήδεια η ομώνυμη κεντρική ηρωίδα φθάνει στο αποκορύφωμα των εγκληματικών και ανήλικων πράξεων δολοφονώντας τα δύο της παιδιά προκειμένου να εκδικηθεί τον άντρα της, όπως η Πρόκνη στο έργο Τηρέας δολοφόνησε το γιο της, Ίτυ, και τον τάισε στο σύζυγο της, Τηρέα, για να τον εκδικηθεί για το βιασμό της αδερφής της. Η Αγαύη στο έργο Βάκχαι, η οποία έχοντας καταληφθεί από θεϊκή μανία διαμέλισε τον γιο, της Πενθέα. Τέλος, στην τριλογία της Ορέστειας η μητέρα Κλυταιμνήστρα έδιωξε το γιο της, Ορέστη, για να μπορέσει να κυβερνήσει χωρίς αυτόν ως εμπόδιο μαζί με τον εραστή της.

Greek tragedy has a multitude of examples of extreme manifestation of motherhood. First, in the play Medea the eponymous central heroine reaches the height of criminal and juvenile acts by murdering her two children in order to avenge her husband, just as Procne in the play Tereas murdered her son, Ity, and fed him to her husband, Tereas, to take revenge on him for raping her sister. Agave in the play Bacchae, who, seized with divine fury, dismembered Penthea’s son. Finally, in the Oresteia trilogy the mother Clytemnestra banished her son, Orestes, so that she could rule without him as a hindrance along with her lover.

Στόχος της παρούσας εργασίας είναι η μελέτη των πρωτότυπων δημοσιευμένων ποιητικών κειμένων του λογοτεχνικού περιοδικού Η Λέξη, το οποίο με εκδότες τους Α. Φωστιέρη και Θ. Νιάρχο κυκλοφόρησε το 1981 έως το 2010. Ειδικότερος στόχος είναι η ανάδειξη των θεματικών μοτίβων των ποιημάτων που δημοσιεύθηκαν στο περιοδικό την πρώτη δεκαετία του, ώστε να φανεί η φυσιογνωμία του μέσω των προτιμήσεών του και των επιλογών των εκδοτών του. Η μεθοδολογία στηρίχθηκε στην αποδελτίωση των τευχών του με έμφαση στα πρωτότυπα κείμενα και όχι στις μεταφραστικές επιλογές. Η μελέτη οδήγησε στο συμπέρασμα ότι προτιμώνται κυρίως διαχρονικά θεματικά μοτίβα.

The aim of this paper is to study the original published poems of the literary magazine Η Λέξη, which was published by A. Fostieris and Th. Niarchos from 1981 to 2010. A more specific aim is to highlight the thematic patterns of the poems that were published in the magazine in its first decade, so that its characteristics can be seen through its preferences and the choices of its editors. The methodology was based on the index of its issues with an emphasis on the untranslated poems. Through the study it emerged that timeless thematic patterns are mainly preferred.
The Mythopoetics of Helios in the Non-Biblical Writings of Philo of Alexandria
Authors: Наумова Е.С.
Published: December 2023

В статье впервые в отечественной науке об античности ставится цель выяснить специфику изображения Солнца в небиблейских сочинениях Филона Александрийского и попытаться понять, можно ли говорить о мифопоэтике Солнца у него. Объект анализа — контексты со словами ἥλιος ‘солнце’ (1.1, 1.2, 2), φῶς ‘свет’ (1.3, 2), λαμπρός ‘светлый, блестящий’ (1.4), αὐγή ‘сияние, свет, луч’ (1.5), ἀκτίς ‘луч’ (2) и однокоренные с ними. В философских произведениях Филона Гелиос — главный в группе космических божеств, отвечает за время, дневной свет и жар, противостоит холоду и мраку ночи. Также видно развитие лексики семантического поля света по сравнению с языком эпоса и трагедии в сторону увеличения ее философской направленности. В отличие от этого, в историко-апологетических сочинениях Филона в основном сохраняется восприятие Гелиоса, известное еще с эпических времен.

The purpose of the article is to find out the specifics of the image of the Sun in the non-biblical writings of Philo of Alexandria and try to understand whether it is possible to talk about the mythopoetics of the Sun in it. By mythopoetics we mean “the section of poetics that studies the mythological structures of the work”, “the fundamental inclusion of myth (mythological plot, image, motive, etc.) in the text of the work” [Gabrielyan 2018: 163]. The object of analysis are the contexts with the words ἥλιος ‘sun’ (1.1, 1.2, 2), φῶς ‘light’ (1.3, 2), λαμπρός ‘bright, shining’ (1.4), αὐγή ‘radiance, light, ray’ (1.5.), ἀκτίς ‘ray, beam’ (2) and the same root with them. In Philo’s philosophical works, Helios is the main one in the group of cosmic deities, responsible for time; his heat and light resists the cold and darkness of the night. We can also see the development of the vocabulary of the semantic field of light in comparison with the language of epic and tragedy in the direction of increasing its philosophical orientation. In contrast, Philo’s historical and apologetic writings mostly preserve the perception of Helios, which has been known since epic times.
BİST Bankacılık Sektörünün Makroekonomik Belirleyicileri: Fourier ARDL Yaklaşımı
Authors: ÜNLÜ Mustafa
Published: December 2023

Finansal piyasalar ve ülke ekonomileri arasında doğrudan bir ilişki mevcuttur. Gelişmiş ülkelerin finansal piyasalarının da gelişmiş olduğu görülmektedir. Finansal piyasalardaki aracı kurumların başında ise bankalar gelmektedir. Bu bakış açısıyla Borsa İstanbul’da hisseleri işlem gören bankaların oluşturmuş olduğu XBANK bankacılık endeksi ile bu endeks üzerinde etkili olduğu düşünülen makroekonomik faktörler (1 aylık mevduat faizleri, üretim endeksi ve TL/Dolar kuru) bu çalışmada ele alınmıştır. 2002 Kasım ve 2023 Mayıs dönemini kapsayan aylık veriler arasındaki ilişki Fourier fonksiyonlarına dayalı otoregresif dağıtılmış gecikme (ARDL) modeli yöntemi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Türkiye’de belirtilen dönem aralığında yönetimde bir değişiklik olmaması nedeniyle ilgili dönem verileriyle çalışılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre 1 aylık mevduat faizleri ile bankacılık endeksi arasında negatif yönlü uzun dönemli bir ilişki, dolar kuru ve üretim endeksi ile bankacılık endeksi arasında pozitif yönlü uzun dönem ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Hata düzeltme modeli sonuçlarına göre ise kısa dönemde denge ilişkisinden sapmalara, uzun dönemde tek düze bir yakınsama olduğu görülmektedir.
The Pornography of Violence on Social Media: A Reception Analysis on User Experiences in the case of the Ukraine-Russia War
Authors: ÖZTAT Fatma , AKYÜZ Selman Selim
Published: December 2023

The relationship between the transmission of social reality in the media and the application of ethical rules is one of the important topics of discussion in the production and distribution processes of messages in mass media. With the emergence of social media, the effects of uncontrolled violent images on users are the subject of research. An important question is whether the publication of violent images leads to awareness or to the normalization or encouragement of violence. In this study, reception analysis was made in the context of the images of violence that spread uncontrollably on social media platforms in Turkey during the Ukraine-Russia War. Two violent images were shown to 13 participants with different demographic characteristics. The reactions and thoughts of the participants towards the images were revealed by semi-structured interview method. Most of the participants stated that the images were disturbing and that violence was not acceptable in any way. Most of the participants stated that watching the images of violence caused them to develop feelings such as sadness, fear, anxiety and pity as a result of empathy, that the publication of these images would not provide any benefit. A small number of respondents stated that they did not see a problem with resorting to violence in certain situations.
The Post-Authoritarian Chilean Party System between Continuity and Change
Authors: TEKİNER Uğur
Published: December 2023

This article aims to examine to what extent the post-authoritarian Chilean party system changed in comparison to the period prior to the 1973 coup. Based on an analysis of the period from 1990 until 2010 against the background of the pre-1973 period and the military dictatorship (1973-1990), the main argument of this article is that the post-authoritarian Chilean party system oscillated between continuity and change. Whilst continuity found its roots in the pre-authoritarian period and Chile’s long-running democratic tradition, change was particularly enforced by the anti-democratic practices of the military government. As such, this study has pinpointed three interrelated tensions between continuity and change that characterised the post-authoritarian party system: the centrality of parties vs. the growing public disillusionment with politics; the pro-/anti-authoritarian cleavage vs. the consensus-based relations between parties; and the tripartite party system vs. the bipolar coalition politics. This tension profoundly influenced all the political parties and inter-party coalitions that functioned during this period, not least the ruling Concertación bloc.

Published: December 2023

Toplumsal tip konusuna son dönemde ilgi artsa da klasik sosyologların ifadelerinde de tipolojinin belirtilerini görmek mümkündür. Toplumsal tipler toplumun sosyalleşme dinamiklerini göstermesi açısından referans konumdadır. Toplumsal yapıya dair analizde bulunmanın en hızlı yolu tipolojileri anlamaktan geçmektedir. Toplumsal tipler gündelik hayatı ve kültürü yansıtır. Farklı toplumsal tipler, günlük yaşamın normlarını, değerlerini ve hâkim kültürü yansıtır. Toplumsal tipler bir toplumu tanımaya ve gündelik hayatının sürmesinde önemli bir araçtır. Gündelik yaşantımız mekanlarla örülü olduğu için mekandaki toplumsal tip bu noktada önemsenmektedir. Bu çalışmada mekânda var olan tiplerden biri olan müdavim tipi ele alınmıştır. Bu çalışma, toplumsal tiplerin gündelik hayatı ve kültürü nasıl yansıttığını inceleyerek toplumsalı anlamayı amaçlamaktadır. Ayrıca müdavim tipinin izi sürülerek analiz edilen mekandaki kültürel etkisi gözlemlenebilmektedir. Mekânın toplumsal bir kurum olduğundan hareketle bu çalışmada mekanların uğrakları anlamında, mekân aidiyeti yüksek kişileri sembolize eden “müdavim” tipi ele alınmıştır. Müdavim tipolojisinin arka planını anlamak adına mekânın toplumsallaşma pratiklerinin değişimi ele alınmıştır. Müdavim tipinin mekân üzerinden görünür olduğu gerçeğiyle kimlik, aidiyet ve kültürel perspektifle tipin izleri anlaşılmaya çalışılacaktır.

This study aims to optimize a hybrid multi-item fabricating-shipping integrated system incorporating scrap, adjustable rate, and postponement. In present-day competitive market environments, there is a clear client demand trend for various goods, shorter lead time, and expected quality. To satisfy the client’s needs, the management of manufacturing firms requires an effective and efficient plan to fabricate various high-quality goods in an expedited period, under limited capacity, and with minimal operating expenses. Inspired by facilitating production management to determine the best fabricating scheme/plan to achieve their operational goals, this work proposes an exploratory postponement model with quality assurance and uptime reduction strategies for their decision-making. By employing a two-phase making scheme, the required standard components are first made in the 1st phase, and multiple finished merchandise is fabricated in the 2nd phase. The study suggests strategies of contracting out a part of the common parts’ batch and adopting an adjusted/expedited making rate in the 2nd phase to considerably reduce both phases’ production uptimes. During both fabricating processes, the screening tasks identify/remove scrapped/faulty goods to ensure each finished batch’s quality. Equal-amount multiple shipments of end merchandise are transported to the clients in fixed time-interval. Optimization methodology and mathematical analyses support us in deriving the model’s expected annual operating cost and deciding the optimal production-transportation policy. A numerical illustration helps verify our model’s applicability and reveals important managerial insights into the studied problem to facilitate management in decision-making.
Ideological and Methodological Similarities and Differences between Jihadist Groups: The Taleban, Al-Qaeda, and ISIS
Authors: ŞÖHRET Mesut
Published: December 2023

The Taliban's seizure of power in Afghanistan has generally pleased jihadist groups around the world. The Islamic Emirate was re-established in Afghanistan by the Taliban after the end of the 20-year US occupation when the last US soldier left Kabul on August 30th, 2021. That was seen as a complete "victory" day for many Sunni Jihadist groups around the world. However, it is feared that the Taliban's success will usher in a new era of jihadism in the Middle East and Central Asia. It is feared that more radical organizations inspired by the Taliban will rise against the existing governments in these regions, overthrow them, and rule these countries in line with their ideology. It is also feared that jihadist groups will seek to come to the fore with large-scale global attacks, with al-Qaeda and ISIS affiliates expected to pose the biggest threat in this regard. This is because while the Taliban has a regional influence as a structure with territorial sovereignty over Afghanistan and its surroundings, Al-Qaeda and ISIS have defined their sphere of influence on a global scale, and thus have defined their area of struggle as the whole world. However, other sub-jihadist organizations affiliated with these two organizations, which operate regionally, can act on a country and regional basis. Although these groups have weakened in recent years, they are still active. In general, what all three organizations have in common is that they adopt a strict interpretation of Sunni Islam. Accordingly, these organizations, which believe that Islam has moved away from its essence and principles of faith, want Islam to be lived as it was when it first emerged and to interpret Islamic rules purely without adapting them to today's conditions. In other words, they aim to implement a political, economic, and social order based on Islamic rules and principles and want pure Islam to be practiced in all areas of life. They claim that the salvation of humanity can only be achieved by making Islam dominant in all areas of life and that man-made ideologies cause inequality and injustice among people. For this reason, all three organizations believe that social and political life cannot be separated from religious issues and therefore justify using violence for the sake of faith. This is also an essential duty for “true Muslims”. On the other hand, these organizations have a negative belief that those who do not fight for this purpose are “bad Muslims”. In other words, all three organizations see taking over political life as necessary to achieve Islamic life or to make the rules of Islam prevail. On the other hand, these three organizations differ in terms of ideology and methodology to achieve this goal. This study systematically examines the ideological and methodological similarities and differences of these three jihadist organizations and how they differ from each other.

Authors: De Lange Johanna Maria , Alblas Amanda , Nel Monique , Marais Chantelle
Published: December 2023

Background: HarrisLines(HL)andLinearEnamelHypoplasia(LEH) are non-specific skeletal markers of health status. The aetiology of these markers has not yet been confirmed due to a lack of contem- porary clinical studies but is assumed to occur due to health insults associated with low socio-economic status (SES). Most studies re- garding HL and LEH have been conducted on the archaeological re- mains of historic populations. This provides a problem when trying to determine the aetiology of the afore-mentioned defects as medical histories of those individuals being tested are unknown.
Objectives: This study aims to determine if there is an association be- tween LEH and HL in a contemporary South African skeletal popu- lation with mainly low social background individuals.Sample and Methods The skull and x-rays of long bones of individuals (n=592) aged between 20–90 years who lived between 1900 – 1995 sampled from the Stellenbosch University Skeletal Repository, were assessed for presence of HL and LEH.
Results: The study found no significant association between LEH and HL, with 7.64% of those with HL also having LEH (p=0.512). There was also no significant association between HL and LEH in females (p=0.331), but a significant association in males (p=0.027). A significant association between LEH, HL and different age-at- death groups was found in the middle group (40–59 years-of-age-at- death; p=0.006), with the least significant association in the oldest age-at-death group (>60 years-of-age-at-death; p=0.418).
Conclusion: In this South African cohort, no clear association between LEH and HL could be established, indicating that the aetiology of these disease markings should still be investigated.

Published: December 2023

Research has demonstrated that alcohol misuse has a significant impact on police time and resources, the health sector and the Australian community more broadly. Despite growing interest in the topic and the number of studies that have been completed, there remain significant limitations to the national measurement of alcohol-related crime. While recent studies have canvassed the challenges of measuring alcohol-related crime and proposed possible solutions, this study set out to bridge a gap in the knowledge and understanding of the steps that need to be taken to establish practical, high-quality indicators of alcohol-related crime at a national level. The Intergovernmental Committee on Drugs commissioned the Australian Institute of Criminology to undertake a review of policing and non-policing data on the involvement of alcohol in crime and to identify the short-, medium- and longer-term options available for better understanding and measuring the magnitude of alcohol-related crime in Australia. Based on an extensive review of the literature, interviews with representatives from all state and territory police agencies and a range of non-policing agencies, and a review of existing data sources, this report describes the data that are currently available to measure the involvement of alcohol in crime, the strengths and limitations of these data and the issues that will likely impact on future efforts to measure alcohol-related crime at the national level. The report ends by proposing a suite of national indicators of alcohol-related crime.

Published: December 2023

The article discusses the topic of digital logistics and marketing trends that are relevant in modern economic

conditions for the effective promotion of goods and services to the market. The results of a comparative study of the main

indicators of the volume of services provided by organizations carrying out logistics and forwarding activities of the

Republic of Belarus for 2017-2021 are presented. Factors and reasons are highlighted that have a negative impact on

the dynamics of balanced development in the context of sanctions pressure and the severance of ties with European

countries and the Baltic states. Digital marketing and logistics tools are presented to improve the efficiency of the

promotion of goods and services to the market. The author's definition of marketing logistics and interrelation of

distribution logistics with sales activities of enterprises is given. Based on the analysis of the volume of services provided

by organizations carrying out logistics and transportation and expeditionary activities, problems related to the

insufficiently effective use of information and communication technologies of enterprises of the shoe industry of the

Republic of Belarus were identified. The trend of omnichannel distribution of products is proposed, as improving the

application of digitalization of marketing logistics, at the shoe enterprise SOOO Belvest, taking into account the

developed gate map.
INCREASING THE EFFICIENCY OF TRANSPORT ORGANIZATIONS THROUGH
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ECO-DRIVING (BASED ON THE EXAMPLE OF RAISING LLC)
Authors: MESHCHERYAKOVA O. , KRYUKOVA M.
Published: December 2023

The article analyzes the existing conceptual apparatus in the field of eco-driving. The choice of criteria for

assessing eco-driving is justified, allowing to reduce fuel consumption during vehicle operation and reduce the negative

impact of road transport on the environment. An eco-driving assessment system has been developed, which directly affects

the driver’s compliance with eco-driving rules and his performance, which entails monthly bonuses or fines. The effect

of introducing eco-driving is reflected: reduction in fuel costs by adjusting driving style; slowing down the rate of wear

and, as a result, reducing the cost of repairs and maintenance of vehicles. Also, the importance of training mechanics

and drivers in eco-driving is substantiated.

Authors: Angwaomaodoko Ejuchegahi Anthony
Published: December 2023

Researchers have found that when parents take an active role in their child's education, it tends to lead to better academic performance and greater likelihood of stimulating as well as sustaining students’ interests in school and are more likely to achieve academic success. As such, parental involvement is an important factor that plays a crucial role in shaping a child's academic achievement. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of parental involvement on the academic achievement of students in Delta State, Nigeria. The study utilized a quantitative research design; and a research questionnaire was developed for this study. 152 parents participated in the study, and the outcome of the survey was analysed using descriptive statistics. The result revealed that parental involvement has an impact in students’ academic achievement. The study also revealed parental involvement such as behavioural, cognitive and affective involvement of parents in the academic of their students play a positive role in the outcome of their children’s academic performance. Recommendations based on the outcome of the study stressed that schools can encourage parental involvement by offering opportunities for parents to communicate with teachers, attend parent-teacher conferences, and participate in school events, amongst others.
Breastfeeding and transpersonal values
Authors: Ferreras Olga
Published: December 2023

This inquiry explored the impact of breastfeeding on mothers’ transpersonal values. It acknowledged societal obstacles mothers’ experience when attempting to breastfeed and included 12 participants who had a breastfeeding experience that reflects the current recommendations by the World Health Organization (WHO), meaning six months of exclusive breastfeeding followed by a combination of breastfeeding and solid foods for at least two years. The study followed an Organic Inquiry design which allowed for the incorporation of elements of feminism and environmental responsibility. Participant stories were collected through semi-structured online interviews, and the data was analysed using thematic analysis. Participants felt that breastfeeding enhanced transpersonal qualities at a personal level and noticed that these gave rise to transformative action at a community level. Six themes were identified: Transpersonal self-concept, spiritual insights, interconnectedness, discernment, alignment with nature and transformative changes. All participants regarded breastfeeding as a transformative experience which contributed to a sense of alignment with the natural world. Participants insights suggest a congruence of transpersonal psychology’s current focus on social engagement and environmental protection and global breastfeeding support efforts carried out by the WHO.
Transpersonal teaching in the face of adversity
Authors: Vickers Adi
Published: December 2023

The aim of this study was to explore how a teacher’s inner process work or innate qualities can support creativity for a transformative online learning experience during an adverse situation, such as COVID-19, a global pandemic which emerged at the end of 2019. Many teachers were forced to quickly pivot to online teaching, prompting me to engage in heuristic inquiry (Moustakas, 1990), a qualitative research method, to explore the subjective living experiences of these teachers, including my own. Taking all ethical aspects into consideration, I carried out semi-structured interviews with eight teacher “co-researchers”. Analysis of interviews uncovered themes which were illustrated through individual depictions and a composite depiction. The discussion looked at findings in the data in relation to relevant literature and through a transpersonal lens. The data suggested that it is the quality of the teacher-student relationship, emanating from teacher presence, which could potentially overcome the challenges of pivoting to online teaching and create transformative learning. Finally, the limitations of the study were explored and areas for future research identified.
