The Burden of Covid-19 Cases on the Payer Institution: The Case of Aydın Provincial Ambulance Service
Authors: DEMİR Hüseyin , TEKİNARSLAN Merve , KAPLAN Selma
Published: December 2023

The study aims to assess the economic burden of Covid-19 cases on the payer institution in the context of ambulance services and to investigate the factors affecting costs. Data were obtained from Aydın Provincial Ambulance Service. Cumulative frequency, cumulative percentage and mean (standard deviation) statistics were used for descriptive findings. Logistic regression model was used to examine the factors affecting costs. Covid-19 cases posed a significant economic burden. The cost per case was approximately 466.40 TL and this amount was higher with additional diagnoses. The pandemics created a higher economic burden in 2020. Accordingly, Covid-19 cases accounted for 14.92% of the number of cases and 14.75% of the costs, with an average cost per case of 447.12 TL. In the second year (2021), the economic burden of the pandemic decreased significantly. Accordingly, the share of Covid-19 cases was 7.69%, while the cost share was 7.12%. The average cost in that year was 503.6 TL. Age, triage, reason for call, urban & rural and region variables had a significant effect on costs. There was a statistically significant relationship between advanced age and high costs per case. Covid-19 cases caused a significant economic burden on the payer. It is considered that the implementation of principles and practices related to risk and crisis management for provincial ambulance services will contribute to reducing costs. It is thought that the findings will be useful for other decision makers and policy makers, especially the payer institution.
19. ve 20. yüzyılda Siverek ve Havalisinde Aşiret İlişkileri ve Akışkan Bir Konargöçer Aidiyeti: Karakeçililer
Authors: EKİNCİ Mehmet Rezan
Published: December 2023

Siverek Karakeçilerine dair ulaşılabilen erken dönem malumat, 15. yüzyılda Akkoyunlu Uzun Hasan adına kaleme alınan Kitab-ı Diyarbekriyye adlı eserden alınmaktadır. Aşirete ve alt kollarına dair iktisadî ve çeşitli kayıtlar, tahrir ve ahkam defterlerinde bulunmaktadır. 16. asırda Milli Aşireti’ne mensub Milli Akkeçili ve Milli Karakeçili olarak tasnif edilmiştir. Sultan II. Abdülhamid döneminde 1903 senesinde basılı bir risaleden Karakeçilerle ilgili yeni bilgilere ulaşılmaktadır. Risalede Özbek diyarından geldikleri belirtilen aşiretin anıldıkları aile adları, meskûn mahalleri, yüklendikleri vazife ve işlevlerle ilgili bilgiler yer almaktadır. Karakeçi Aşireti’nin Urfa kolu ise, 19. ve 20. yüzyıllarda kendisine bağlı birçok kabileyle Siverek Sancağı’nda yaşamaktaydı. Risalede, anılan Özbek Karakeçilerinin Siverek Karakeçileriyle bağlantılarına dair bir bilgi yoktur. Bununla birlikte Siverek Karakeçilerine bağlı kabileler de tarih boyunca Anadolu’nun çeşitli mahallerinden Siverek mıntıkasına gelerek Karakeçi kimliği etrafında birleşmişlerdir. Birlik etrafında oluşan güç temerküzü ve konfor alanı Karakeçilik mensubiyetine doğru akışkan olarak tavsif edilen bir kimliğin benimsenmesini sağlamıştır. Aşiret, 19. yy. sonlarında 45 ve 46 numaralı iki alayla Hamidiye Süvari alaylarına katılmışlardır. Aşiretin Hamidiye devlet zırhına bürünmesiyle çevre aşiretlerle aralarındaki problemler askeri kimlikleriyle girift bir hale dönüşmüştür. Siverek ve çevresindeki asayişin hükümete akseden yönü, mahallin hazineye katkısının kesintiye uğramasının engellenmesidir. Bu sebeple Hükümet, çatışan aşiretler arasında ılımlı bir siyasetle barışçıl çözümler üretmeye çabalamıştır.
Bilimsel Araştırmalar Bağlamında Tarih ve Arkeolojinin Kurumsal Birlikteliği ve Ayrışma Noktaları

Published: December 2023

Çağdaş bilim anlayışı mutlak doğruya ulaşmak adına disiplinler arası çalışma anlayışını zorunlu hâle getirmiştir. Tarih ve arkeoloji bilimlerinin kurumsal ve kavramsal birlikteliğini bu bağlamda değerlendirmeliyiz. İnsanoğlunun geçmiş hikâyesinin yazımında nesnel verilerin elde edilip doğru bir kronolojinin yazılabilmesi son derece önemlidir. Uygarlığın yazı öncesi ve yazının bulunmasından sonraki dönemlere ait tarihsel kronolojisinin evrensel bilim esaslarının referans alınarak nesnel bir şekilde yazılabilmesi için mutlak anlamda tarih ve arkeolojinin kurumsal işbirliğine ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Aksi durumda ise geçmişe dair yaşanmışlıkların yazımı, bilimsel veri olmaktan ziyade kişilere, zamana, ideolojilere ve coğrafyaya göre değişiklik gösteren ve elbette ki herkesin kendince bir şeyler eklediği hikâyeler bütünü şeklini alacaktır. Ancak genel anlamda aralarında kolektif bir çalışma yöntemi izleyen tarih ve arkeolojinin bağımsız disiplinler olması itibariyle dönem dönem kolektif çalışma yönteminin arka planda kaldığı ve bu iki bilim dalının ayrıştığı veyahut çatıştığı noktalar da bulunmaktadır.

Authors: SEVDİ Ali
Published: December 2023

Dil, milletlerin ve halkların hayatlarının aynası olup insanlar arasında anlaşmayı sağlayan, kişinin kendisiyle duygu ve düşüncelerini ifade ettiği doğal bir iletişim ve tasvir etme aracıdır. Yeryüzünde birçok dil ve dil aileleri bulunup bunlardan biri de Hami-Sami dilleri ailesinin Sami koluna mensup Arapçadır. Yeryüzünde yaşayan en eski dillerden biri olan Arapça, Birleşmiş Milletler, İslâm Konferansı, Arap ve Afrika Birliği gibi birçok uluslararası kuruluşun resmi dilleri arasında yer almaktadır. Dünyada konuşulan en yaygın diller içinde altıncı sırada yer alan Arapçanın, 1946 yılında Birleşmiş Milletler tarafından kabul edilen beş resmi dile eklenmesi, onun dünya dilleri arasında yer edindiğinin bir kanıtıdır. Ortadoğu ve Kuzey Afrika ile Arap Yarımadası'nın tamamına yakın bir alanda ve dünyanın yirmi üç ülkesinde yaklaşık dört yüz milyon kişi tarafından konuşulan Arapça, kendi kategorisinde en çok konuşulan, en gelişmiş ve en geniş lügat hazinesine sahip dildir. Asırlarca birbirinden uzak coğrafyalarda yaşayan farklı milletlere mensup toplumların birlik ve beraberliği, Arapça ile oluşturulan ortak İslâm kültürüyle sağlanmıştır. Vahiy dili olarak Arapça, Müslümanların İslâmiyet’i asıl kaynağından öğrenmelerini sağlayan en önemli alet ve etkili bir iletişim aracı olmuştur. Arapça, İslâm dinini ve onun yaşayış tarzını benimsemiş çeşitli milletlerin asırlar boyu ortak çabaları neticesinde, İslâm medeniyetinin ortak kültür ve bilim dili olmuştur. Tarihsel süreçte etrafını saran birçok olumsuzluk ve zorluğa rağmen sağlam ve güçlü kalabilen Arap dilini, uzun ömürlü ve köklü bir dil yapan birçok güç kaynağı bulunmaktadır. Bu kaynaklar, onun sürekliliğinde ve hayatta kalmasında; bugüne kadar resmî, edebî ve din dili olmasında önemli rol oynamışlardır. Dolayısıyla Arapça, uzun tarihi içinde önemini somut bir şekilde ortaya koymuş bir değer olup varlığını ve dil meziyetlerini korumayı başarmış önemli bir dünya dilidir. Kelime, kavram ve ifade zenginliğiyle hissedilen ve edilemeyen hususları ifade etme gücü bakımından son derece yeterliliği bulunan bir dil olup evrensel diller arasında önemli bir yer edinmiştir.

Authors: BATUR Kamile
Published: December 2023

1999 Gölcük depremi akabinde depremlerin öngörüsü ve kentsel dönüşüm gibi risk azaltma faaliyetleri kentsel siyaseti şekillendirmeye başladı ve 2011 yılında Van depremi sonrasında Kentsel Dönüşüm ya da Afet Yasası olarak anılan 6306 sayılı, riskli alanlarda kentsel dönüşümü ve bina bazlı yenilemeyi düzenleyen yasa çıkarıldı. Bu yasa istisnai maddeleri nedeniyle çok eleştirildi ve yasa koyucular tarafından yaşam hakkına referansla savunuldu. Eleştiriler ise yaşam hakkının sadece araçsallaştırıldığı üzerine odaklandı ve ne yaşam hakkının ne de onun referansı olan yaşamın tarihselliğini sorunsallaştırdı. Gölcük Depreminden günümüze ortaya çıkan bir dizi mevzuat ve kamusal söylemin analizinden elde edilen verileri, biyopolitika kuramlarının eleştirel okuması ışığında tartışarak yaşam ve devlet arasında kurulan biyopolitik ilişkinin tarihselliğine ve son dönemdeki dönüşümününe odaklanacağım. Bugün, halihazırda yaşam ve devlet arasında kurulmuş daha önceki biyopolitik ilişkilere, yeni bir biyopolitik ilişkinin eklendiğinden bahsetmek mümkündür. Makalenin ilk kısmı biyoihtimam diye adlandırabileceğimiz bu biyopolitikada, belli pratikler, duygular ve üretilen bilgi ile afetlere karşı kırılganlığı üzerinden tanımlanmasıyla yeni bir yaşam hakikatinin üretildiğine, yani kırılgan yaşamın tarihselliğine odaklanmaktadır. İkinci kısmı ise biyoihtimamın, afet hazırlığı bağlamında materyal olarak da bazı yaşamlara ihtimam gösterirken bazı yaşamları kırılganlaştırdığına, yani ihtimamın eşitsiz dağılımına ve şiddet üretme potansiyeline dikkat çekmektedir. Bu afetlere karşı daha eşit ve kapsayıcı ihtimam pratikleri geliştirmemize temel hazırlayacaktır.

Authors: Possa Alisson , Fuck Luciano Felício
Published: December 2023

A Emenda Constitucional n° 115/2022 estabeleceu como direito fundamental a proteção aos dados pessoais, inclusive nos meios digitais. Acompanhada dos parâmetros da Lei n° 13.709/18, todos os tratamentos de dados pessoais, incluindo os realizados pelo Poder Público, devem observar esse novo contexto normativo, gerando questões acerca de como encontrar um regime de coexistência entre atividades de monitoramento para fins de fiscalização tributária baseadas em dados pessoais e essa nova realidade. O presente artigo desenvolve análise dos reflexos que esse novo quadro normativo impõe aos agentes responsáveis pela fiscalização tributária, principalmente a avaliação dos riscos decorrentes da adoção de sistemas informacionais que realizam análises automatizadas, valendo-se de revisão bibliográfica da doutrina e jurisprudência nacional acerca do conteúdo de direito fundamental da proteção de dados pessoais e os atuais conflitos com os poderes de monitoramento através de bases de dados pessoais pelos agentes de fiscalização tributária, para, então, identificar parâmetros e limites que a proteção de dados pessoais como direito fundamental devem impor aos agentes públicos.
“Do sacrifício ao futuro promissor”: aluno de ensino médio nas representações sociais de professores
Authors: Machado Laeda Bezerra , Barbosa Evangelista Lucivania
Published: December 2023

Este artigo tem como objetivo identificar a estrutura das representações sociais de “aluno de escola pública de ensino médio,” elaboradas por seus professores. Adotamos a Teoria das Representações Sociais (TRS), particularmente, abordagem estrutural dessas representações.  Desenvolvemos um estudo de campo online com 71 professores da Rede Estadual de Pernambuco, os quais responderam a um questionário do tipo Google Doc e um Teste de Associação Livre de Palavras. As evocações, analisadas com auxílio do software Iramuteq, revelaram representações sociais de “aluno de escola pública de ensino médio” pautadas em dificuldades, decorrentes da situação de desigualdade social desses estudantes. Apesar disso, nessas evocações e justificativas dos professores, ganham relevância a capacidade de superação e a determinação dos alunos para enfrentar os obstáculos que lhes são impostos. Isto significa que, a despeito do sacrificio, nas representações sociais dos docentes, esses estudantes são desafiados, mas alcançam um futuro promissor. Os achados sugerem a necessidade de medidas capazes de equalizar as oportunidades e minimizar as desigualdades a fim de se construir as bases necessárias ao desenvolvimento social das juventudes que ingressam na escola de ensino médio.
Formação continuada docente como lugar de experiências: comunidade de aprendizagem e as lições da pandemia da Covid-19
Authors: Piovesan Juliane Cláudia Piovesan , Bernardi Lucí Teresinha Marchiori dos Santos
Published: December 2023

Este artigo tem por objetivo evidenciar a formação continuada como lugar que movimenta experiências e possibilidades, no entrelaçamento entre universidade e escola. Intenciona colaborar na premissa da possibilidade de organizar um processo formativo através de comunidade de aprendizagem, por meio de aportes digitais. Argumenta-se que é necessário pensar a formação continuada enquanto um “lugar” mobilizador da docência, de compartilhar experiências, produzir saberes e de profissionalização contínua, com o propósito de fomentar novas práticas, vivências e aprendizagens. Ainda, reflete e indica que esse movimento é possível de ser realizado por meio de aportes tecnológicos, considerando que, se a pandemia nos trouxe lições de isolamento e solidão, as respostas a ela nos ensinaram novas formas e aparatos de comunicação, evidenciando o diálogo e o aprender em comunidade. Este estudo é de cunho bibliográfico, tendo âncora em autores como Candau (1999), Fiorentini (2009, 2010), Imbernón (2009, 2010), Lévy (1999, 2007), Nóvoa (1997, 2009, 2017, 2020, 2022), Sacristán (1999), Tardif (2002) e Veiga (2008). Pode-se afirmar que a formação continuada, a partir de comunidade de aprendizagem, contribui na apropriação e reelaboração de saberes pensados e refletidos no coletivo.
Qual a origem do saber do auxiliar de classe? Estudo sobre o não lugar profissional
Authors: Jesus Livia Karen Figueredo  de , Gracia Ferreira Lucia
Published: December 2023

Esta pesquisa objetivou conhecer qual a origem dos saberes mobilizados pelas pessoas que exercem a função de auxiliar de classe[1] e a influência destes na construção do “não lugar” profissional. Trata-se de uma investigação qualitativa, exploratória realizada nos municípios de Itapetinga e Amargosa, na Bahia, com pessoas que atuam nas turmas de Educação Infantil como auxiliar de classe. Foram realizadas no ano de 2020 entrevistas via plataformas digitais com sete colaboradores. Constatou-se que várias são as fontes da origem dos saberes dos auxiliares, sendo as histórias de vida, as experiências pessoais e cotidianas, a formação acadêmico-profissional e a própria prática laboral. Também que o binômio cuidar-educar é de responsabilidade do professor, legitimado historicamente e legalmente e que há muitas diferenças na função de professor e auxiliar. Assim, tudo isso tem apontado para a construção de um “não lugar” profissional dos auxiliares de classe.
 
[1] Optamos por utilizar a nomenclatura auxiliar de classe, mas a função também é nomeada por: auxiliar de desenvolvimento infantil, pajem, assistente de classe, monitora etc. A variação na nomenclatura ocorre de região para região, pois não há um consenso acerca da função.

Authors: Stein Letícia , Melo Marisol Vieira , Richit Adriana
Published: December 2023

O artigo apresenta as concepções sobre a alfabetização matemática na perspectiva do letramento nos Anos Iniciais, evidenciadas em teses e dissertações disponibilizadas no acervo nacional da Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações. A pesquisa buscou responder a seguinte questão: Quais concepções de alfabetização matemática na perspectiva do letramento são evidenciadas em pesquisas brasileiras (teses e dissertações), relativas aos Anos Iniciais do Ensino Fundamental, desenvolvidas no período de 2003 a 2020? A análise qualitativa realizada sobre um corpus de 42 trabalhos evidenciou três concepções: letramentos múltiplos, que envolvem as práticas de leitura e de escrita que permeiam as práticas sociais, sobretudo, as múltiplas linguagens que integram textos públicos nos espaços escolares ou fora dele; letramento ideológico, que se refere à valorização do contexto de produção e admissão de diferentes práticas letradas, a qual não apresenta natureza individual e não se limita a um evento, pois abrange o sentido lato inerente a aspectos culturais, sociais e políticos; letramento escolarizado, o qual confere ao sistema de escrita alfanumérica uma dimensão social, tendo o letramento escolar um caráter técnico e individual, que considera o ambiente formal da escola. A alfabetização matemática na perspectiva do letramento precisa estar voltada para o desenvolvimento da criança, tornando-a capaz de organizar o pensamento, argumentar e raciocinar matematicamente.

Published: December 2023

Objective: We investigated the relationship between anemia and cardiac functions by conventional and speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) receiving hemodialysis.
Methods: One hundred six patients with ESRD receiving hemodialysis were included in this cross-sectional study. The conventional echocardiography and STE findings were compared between the patients with and without anemia. In addition, a comparison of the findings between the ESRD patients and healthy controls consisting of 68 participants was conducted.
Results: Compared to healthy controls, ESRD patients had lower left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LVGLS), and left atrial reservoir strain (LASr) [53% (48-57) vs. 65% (62-68), -15.2 (-16.9˗ -13.6) vs. -19.7 (-16.9˗ -13.6), and -21.9 (-29.5˗ -15.3) vs. -29.9 (-35.3˗ -22.8), respectively, P-value <0.001 for all]. Of the ESRD patients, 70 (66%) had anemia. ESRD patients with anemia had higher interventricular septum (IVS), posterior wall (PW), and left atrial volume index (LAVi) values than patients without anemia. In addition, ESRD patients with anemia had lower LVEF, LVGLS, and LASr than patients without anemia [median (IQR), 13 (12-15) vs. 12 (11-14), P=0.004, 13 (12-15) vs. 12 (11-13.5), P<0.005, 43 (35-55) vs. 34.7 (28-50), P=0.013, 52 (48-55) vs. 56 (47.5-60), P=0.016, -14.6 (-16.4˗ -13.5) vs. -16 (-18.6˗ -14.7), P=0.003, and -21.6 (-30.5˗ -16.3) vs. -30.5 (-33.6˗ -23.3), P=0.006, respectively]. In multivariable logistic regression analysis, diabetes, PW, LASr, and LVGLS were independently associated with the presence of anemia in ESRD patients.
Conclusion: Our study confirmed impaired cardiac mechanics in ESRD hemodialysis patients and showed that anemia was associated with further worsening cardiac mechanics in this population.
Intraguild predation and cannibalism between two co-occurring ladybird species (Coccinella septempunctata and Menochilus sexmaculatus): A fight for supremacy
Authors: Monalisa Monalisa , Pervez Ahmad
Published: December 2023

Coccinella septempunctata L. (C7) and Menochilus sexmaculatus (Fabricius) (Ms) are aphidophagous ladybirds (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), which dominates the ladybird fauna of Oriental region. Since these species co-occur and are highly predaceous on various aphids, it was hypothesized that in the scarcity or absence of aphids, i.e., extraguild prey, one ladybird species will start attacking and killing the other one, which will endanger their co-occurrence. Thus, we aim to determine, which ladybirds’ larvae will subdue the other; their attack rates (rate at which a superior individual attacks the inferior one), escape rates (rate at which an inferior individual escapes from the attack of superior one) and predation rates (rate at which a superior individual eats the inferior one) were investigated, as they indulged in cannibalism and intraguild predation. Larvae of C7 were slightly bigger and heavier than those of Ms, thereby they gained a slight competitive advantage. This enabled C7 a better attacker and an escapist when confronted with larvae of Ms in a predatory guild, which resulted in lesser larval mortality due to intraguild predation by Ms larvae. However, C7 successfully preyed upon the larvae of Ms. The highest rate of cannibalism and intraguild predation was executed by C7 which made it a potent cannibal and an intraguild predator. Despite being outplayed by C7, the inferior Ms larvae didn’t suffer much loss during the intraguild combat due to their armoured morphological features in the form of spines and rough texture. This is the reason why Ms still exists as the second most commonly occurring ladybird in the field.
A Study on the Limitations and Improvement Plan on the Occupational Classification of Fingernail Managers in the Korean Standard Classification of Occupations
Authors:   The Korean Society of Beauty and Art, Min Bang-Kyung , Lee Dong-Ryeol
Published: December 2023

This study analyzes the problem that fingernail managers are not classified as an independent occupational group in the Korean Standard Classification of Occupations, which is published by Statistics Korea, but are included as a subclass of skin and body managers, and suggests improvements to the Korean Standard Classification of Occupations system. In the current 7th Korean Standard Classification of Occupations, the subcategory Beauty-related service workers of the large category service workers are subdivided into Hairdressers, Cosmetologists, Skin and body managers, Make-up artists and make-up workers, and Other beauty-related service workers. There are four national technical qualifications related to hairdressing: hairdresser (general), hairdresser (skin), hairdresser (fingernail), and hairdresser (makeup). The beauty industry defined by the Public Health Management Act is subdivided into general beauty, skin beauty, fingernail beauty, and makeup and makeup beauty. The National Competency Standards(NCS) also categorizes these services into hairdressing, skin care, makeup, fingernail care, and massage. Based on the National Technical Qualification, the Public Health Management Act, and the NCS, the occupation of fingernail Managers does not belong to Skin and Body Managers, and fingernail Managers should be upgraded to the same classification as Skin and Body Managers. Therefore, this study aims to improve the Korean Standard Classification of Occupations to enhance the professional competence of fingernail managers and raise their status.

Published: December 2023

With social development and economic growth, active senior women’s involvement in economic activities has risen. At the same time, the consumption of tone cosmetics has also increased. Under these circumstances, this study attempted to investigate tone cosmetics use patterns and purchase behavior against senior citizens aged 50-69 and provide useful information to the tone cosmetics market. For this, a questionnaire survey was performed. A total of 307 copies excluding poorly answered ones were used for final analysis, and the results found the followings:
The respondents tend to wear makeup as a good manner in interpersonal relationships and at work. As the perception of influence of wearing makeup on social activities and frequency of makeup increased, their involvement in economic activities was higher. In terms of factors affecting the purchase of cosmetics, information acquisition through the Internet and social media, recommendation by acquaintance and easy access to cosmetics were found. In addition, as average monthly income was higher, brand and package were more important. This study investigated tone cosmetics use patterns and purchase behavior and attempted to provide basic data which are useful in developing effective marketing strategies in the aging-friendly cosmetics market.

The subjects of the study were 212 people from the MZ generation (born between 1980 and 2004) living in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS V.25.0 for data analysis, and detailed research results are as follows. First, as a result of examining whether environmental values have a positive (+) effect on vegan cosmetics preference and satisfaction, preference had a statistically significant positive (+) effect on ethical consumption, environmental values, and social values, which are sub-factors of independent variables. Satisfaction had a significant positive (+) effect only on environmental and social values. Second, as a result of examining whether environmental values have a positive (+) effect on purchase behavior and purchase influence of vegan beauty products, environmental values and social values, which are sub-factors of independent variables, had positive (+) effects on purchase behavior and purchase influence. Third, as a result of examining whether the preference for vegan beauty products has a positive (+) effect on purchase behavior, ethical consumption and satisfaction, which are sub-factors of independent variables, had positive (+) effects on purchase behavior. Therefore, this study confirmed that the higher the environmental values of the MZ generation, the higher the preference and purchase behavior for vegan beauty products.

Published: December 2023

This study investigates the connection between stakeholders and organizational dedication in promoting safety risk practices within large-scale manufacturing enterprises of Chinese origin operating in Ethiopia. Given the complex relationship among evaluation tools, metrics, and stakeholder influence in assessing safety risk practices, a deeper exploration of this relationship becomes vital. The research aims to determine the impact of stakeholder pressure on safety risk practices in the Ethiopian-Chinese manufacturing sector, emphasizing the mediating role of organizational commitment. Provide work for a quantitative research approach, the study focuses on five prominent industrial manufacturing enterprises and employs purposive sampling to select 259 participants. The data analysis employs statistical techniques such as structural equation modeling, growth paths, and correlation matrix using the Smart Pls v. four software suite. The study successfully establishes a causal link between stakeholder pressure and safety risk practices, underscoring the significant influence of stakeholder pressures on managing safety risks. Moreover, organizational commitment emerges as a crucial mediator in this relationship. The findings emphasize the need for policymakers and practitioners in Chinese large-scale manufacturing enterprises in Ethiopia to prioritize enhancing safety practices, leading to improved safety performance and overall safety. This research contributes by addressing the limited understanding of the mediating role of organizational commitment in the framework of stakeholder pressure, safety risk practices, and it supports stakeholder theory. Additionally, it fills the gap in research on safety practices and decision-making in developing nations, specifically focusing on the Ethiopian-Chinese manufacturing sector.

Authors: Saadia BENELHADJ DJELLOUL , Fatima NEHAL , Imane M’HAMEDI , Amina KADIRI , Meryem BOUCHAKOUR
Published: December 2023

Background: Medicago sativa, Medicago truncatula and Trifolium rubens are legumes widely distributed in Algeria. These species hold ecological and agricultural significance and serve as a natural resource for combating desertification and as livestock fodder. Methods: Comparative investigations of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) colonization in the roots of these leguminous species were conducted. The physicochemical and microbiological attributes of AMF’s infectious potential were explored for all three species. The presence or absence of endomycorrhizal structures was assessed in these species. Result: The mycorrhizal infectious potential of the flora was significantly enhanced in the case of Medicago truncatula when compared to Trifolium rubens. Mycorrhization occurred at a frequency exceeding 80% in all three species. The impact of legume mycorrhizal fungi colonization on soil physicochemical properties was examined, revealing alterations in soil biological fertility, particularly in terms of phosphate and nitrogen content. Medicago truncatula exhibited a more pronounced positive influence on soil physical, chemical and microbiological characteristics when compared to Medicago sativa and Trifolium rubens. Consequently, these herbaceous species can be employed as nurse plants (facilitators) or as bio-fertilizers.

Authors: Kalwani Davender Singh , Misra Arun Kumar , Rao S.B.N.
Published: December 2023

Backround: Buffaloes contributes heavily to the livestock sector of India and buffaloes are preferred for milk production in India due to their efficiency and better nutrients in milk. Major part of their diet constitute roughage which is usually wheat straw in north-western region of India. WB 2 is a biofortified wheat variety with high zinc and iron levels in its grain, has been developed by ICAR-Indian Institute of Wheat and Barley Research in Karnal, Haryana. This study aimed at comparing the benefits of substituting conventional straw with WB 2 straw. Methods: The present experiment was conducted on 12 Murrah buffaloes, divided into two groups i.e., Control (T0) and Treatment (T1) based on body weight, parity and previous milk record. Feeding continued for a period of 90 days as per ICAR (2013) feeding
standard. The wheat straw, oats fodder and concentrate mixture was fed in the ratio 50:15:35 (on DM basis) in both the groups. However, in control group, conventional wheat straw was used and in the treatment group, biofortified wheat variety straw was utilized. Result: Non-significant differences (P greater than 0.05) were observed when both the groups were compared for body weight and dry matter intake on fortnightly basis. Similarly, haematology was carried out on monthly basis and there were non- significant differences (P greater than 0.05) between the two groups. Non-significant difference for plasma IgG1 was also recorded. The study reveals that the feeding of biofortified wheat variety (WB 2) straw had no impact on immunity of lactating Murrah buffaloes compared to conventional straw-based diet.

Background: Manihot esculenta, the most important tropical root crop which supply dietary staple food for about 800 million populations worldwide. Twenty soil profiles that represent the soil Pedology and soil quality are similar in their concept in relation to soil formation. In this regards, soil quality can be considered as part of the science of pedology. Significant differences in yield of Tapioca (Manihot esculenta) with selected soil properties and subsequent interpretations as influenced by land use are explained. Methods: Soil samples were taken from designated pedogenic horizons for physico-chemical properties in the laboratory. Soil textural class, saturated hydraulic conductivity, Cation Exchange Capacity, Base Saturation Percentage, soil organic carbon, exchangeable cations, available N, P, K content and available micronutrients were analysed. The general fertility of the soils in the area is discussed highlighting their potentials and constraints. Result: A comprehensive analysis of soils in the study area showed that shallow soil depth of less than 47 cm and more clay of 44% with high bulk density of 1.4 gcc-1, low hydraulic conductivity of 0.12 cmhr-1, low base saturation percentage of 77%, more exchangeable sodium percentage of 7.96% with low available N, P and K of 110, 10.75 and 142.25 kg ha-1, respectively in low yielding soils are the major constraints in the tract might behind the yield differences in Cassava.

The innovation of Arabic language learning has taken various forms, including the development of textbooks aimed at facilitating the learning process for students. One such innovative product is the 'Al-'Arobiyah Bain Yadaik' textbook, particularly its fourth series, which is utilized in qawaid learning at Ma'had Aly Ar Raayah. This study employs a descriptive qualitative research method with a focus on field research. The primary objective is to comprehensively delineate the qawaid learning process using the mentioned textbook, highlighting its advantages and disadvantages. The qawaid learning process involves apperception, linking new material with previous knowledge, followed by an explanation of the title, practical examples, and detailed rule formulation. An apparent advantage of utilizing 'Al-'Arobiyah Bain Yadaik' is the abundance of practical examples that facilitate student comprehension of the material. However, a notable drawback is the limited theoretical explanations, necessitating additional input from the teacher. This research serves as a valuable resource for institutions considering the adoption of 'Al-'Arobiyah Bain Yadaik' as a teaching material for qawaid lessons, providing insights into the learning process and offering recommendations for improvement
The Importance of the “Client” Experience for Financial Planning Students: A Qualitative Inquiry of Themes
Authors: McCoy Megan , Watkins Kimberly , White Kenneth , Kahler Rick , Reiter Miranda
Published: December 2023

The benefits of engaging a financial planner are well-documented in the literature. That is why it is so surprising that very few financial planners had their own planners despite spending their days purporting the importance of having a planner to potential clients. This article introduces an exercise, designed for financial planning courses, which encourages students to meet with a financial planner and write about their experience. The essays were examined using the qualitative methodology of thematic analysis. Several themes emerged: (a) insights into what it would be like to be a financial planner, (b) decreased anxiety after seeing the planner, (c) better empathy regarding the client’s experience, (d) increased respect for the interpersonal skills required to do financial planning, and (e) receiving personal and professional benefits to seeing a financial planner. Implications for both Certified Financial Planner Board Registered Programs and existing financial planners are provided based on these results.

Background and Purpose:Establishing measurement invariance (MI) is important in the questionnaire validation process. This study examined the MI of the Hospice Quality of Life Index-14 (HQLI-14) when comparing hospice patients with lung cancer and those with nonlung cancers.Methods:The HQLI-14 contains 14 items to measure multidimensional concepts of quality of life. A series of confirmatory factor analyses were performed to test configural, metric, and scalar invariance.Results:The MI of the HQLI-14 was supported by increasing equality constraints on item parameters between groups. Although the configural and metric invariances were both supported, one item regarding breathlessness was noninvariant between the groups with lung and nonlung cancers.Conclusions:The HQLI-14 shows early evidence of meeting the requirements for configural, metric, and partial scalar invariance. It may be used to make meaningful comparisons between patients with lung cancer and nonlung cancers.
The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Shelter Use Frequency and Experiences of Shelter Professionals in Finland: A Mixed-Method Study

Published: December 2023

Purpose: The COVID-19 pandemic has been associated with an increased prevalence of domestic violence (DV). It has been proposed that the mitigation efforts—such as lockdown, social distancing, or stay-at-home orders—simultaneously increase the risk of DV while limiting the possibilities for seeking help. In this study, we explored the effects of the pandemic on shelter services.

Method: The data consist of shelter use data and regular reports from 29 shelters in Finland. In a mixed-method study, we analyzed how shelter service use during the COVID-19 pandemic in Finland was predicted by the stringency of government actions. Furthermore, to gain additional depth on the topic, we carried out a qualitative analysis of the common issues raised by the staff in regular shelter reports.

Results: We found the stringency of government actions—as measured by the comparative composite value of the Stringency Index—to causally predict shelter use during the pandemic. The major finding of our qualitative analysis is that the pandemic has affected shelters at three levels: victim, professional, and organization.

Conclusion: As shelter reports indicate, the pandemic affected clients depending on how they perceive the pandemic, receive help, and the changes in their everyday lives at the shelter. At the professional level, COVID-19 affected the practices and content of work with clients, as well as the personal experience and well-being of staff. At the organizational level, there was a need to reconsider the preparedness and organization of work.

The Griffon Vulture (Gyps fulvus) vulture is a large species with a vast range spanning from the Iberian Peninsula in the west to the Himalaya in the east. Kazakhstan lies on the north-easternmost edge of the species’ distribution range and according to literary data, in the 20th century it was considered a common species in Kazakhstan. However, there is no recent robust estimation of species abundance and distribution and in recent times researchers found that Griffon Vulture was in the past often mistaken for the Himalayan Vulture, resulting in the need to question everything known about the species in Kazakhstan. Hence, the aim of the current study was to review published data on the Eurasian Griffon vulture in Kazakhstan as a first step. As a second step, we aimed to validate field data by visiting colonies and establishing species status and abundance in Kazakhstan. The only large breeding population with several colonies of the species in the country is in the Karatau mountains where we focused our efforts. Cases of Griffon Vulture found nesting in other regions are rare or absent. We counted the number of occupied nests in two different years – 2010 and 2022 — and we registered a 95% decrease in the number of active nests. In 2010, 74 active nests were found opposed to only 4 found in 2022. The reasons for the rapid decline in the number of Griffon Vulture are poorly understood. Official data from the Kazakhstan government authorities confirms that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) containing diclofenac, ketoprofen, and flunixin are used in the country. Meanwhile, despite the critical drop in numbers, the Griffon Vulture is still not a protected species in Kazakhstan. We recommend urgent measures to understand the scale of the reported threats and the implementation of conservation actions.
TOPLUMUN CEMAATTEN CEMİYETE DÖNÜŞ SÜRECİ: MODERNİTE EKSENİNDE KURAMSAL BİR DEĞERLENDİRME
Authors: TAZEFİDAN Kenan
Published: December 2023

Bu çalışmada, modernitenin toplumsal sonuçları, sosyolojik perspektifle cemaat-cemiyet perspektifinde tartışılmıştır. Türk toplumunun sosyokültürel anlamda gündemine bakıldığında cemaatleşme kavramının medyadaki boyutunun akademik çalışmalara aynı oranda yansıtıldığını söylemek mümkün değildir. Bu anlamda cemaatin sosyolojik bir kavram olarak gündeme getirilmesi ve teorik çerçevesinin yeniden ele alınıp incelenmesi gerekmektedir. Zira cemaat, modern dönemin yeni toplumsal biçimlenişinin çeşitli alanlarına bağlı olarak farklı bir boyut kazanmıştır. Geleneksel cemaatin insan ilişkilerinin tamamını içine almasına karşılık, modernite ile birlikte karşılıklı ilişkilerin sınırlandığı; aynı amaç/hedef etrafında birlikte hareketin yerini ideolojik yaklaşımların aldığını görmek mümkündür. Bütün bu gelişmeler, cemaatin geç modern dönemde farklı algılanış biçimlerine gönderme yapan bir dizi ayırıcı unsurları içermektedir. Bu durum, cemaatin yeni bir görünümü ile karşı karşıya olduğumuzu göstermektedir. Bu anlamda modernitenin getirdiği dayatmaya bağlı olarak, cemaatleşmenin bu yeni görünümü geleneksel cemaatle öz olarak aynı olmakla birlikte; biçim, içerik ve fonksiyon açısından birtakım farklılıklar arz etmektedir.
AYDINLANMANIN TOPLUMSAL DÜŞÜNCEYE ETKİSİ: CEMAAT ve CEMİYET EKSENİNDE SOSYOLOJİK BİR TARTIŞMA
Authors: BAYEZİT Galip
Published: December 2023

İnsanlık tarihinde cemaat hayatından cemiyete dönüş sürecinin belki de en hızlı yaşandığı dönem aydınlanmadır. Aydınlanma hareketi bilhassa batıda devrim niteliğinde gerçekleşmiş, fakat dünyanın her yerinde aynı oranda etkili olmamıştır. Zira batı Orta Çağ karanlığını yaşarken doğu bilim ve tekniğin zirvesindedir. Batıda aydınlanma ile başlayan hareket modernite ile kuvvet kazanarak devam etmiş, yaşanan dönüşümün etkileri günümüze kadar gelmiştir. Dolayısıyla batı için aydınlanma fikri, muhtemelen Antik Yunan’dan bugüne kadar ortaya çıkan en önemli düşünce hareketidir. Batı açısından aydınlanmanın olumlu sonuçlarına rağmen geleneği yıkmak, kadim kurumları işlevsiz kılmak gibi birtakım olumsuz neticeleri de görülmüştür. Son tahlilde aydınlanma hareketinin suikast girişimi teşebbüste kalmış, geleneksel kurumların bir kısmı günümüze kadar gelmiş, cemaat tipi sosyal yapılar varlığını sürdürmüştür. Fakat geleneksel yapılar da yaşanan değişimden nasibini almış, büyük oranda dönüşüm geçirmiştir.
BOOK REVIEW KUR’ÂN VE BAĞLAM (THE QUR’ĀN AND CONTEXT) -Ahmet Nedim Serinsu, Kur’ân ve Bağlam (Istanbul: Şule Yayınları, 2012), 383 pages-

The work titled Kur’ân ve Bağlam (The Qur’ān and Context), which constitutes the main theme of our research and examines the science of Asbāb an-nuzūl with its various dimensions is written by Professor Doctor Ahmet Nedim SERINSU. Kur’ân’ın Anlaşılmasında Esbâb-ı Nüzûl’ün Rolü (The Role of Asbāb an-nuzūl in Understanding the Qur’ān), which is the first book of Kur’ân ve Bağlam (The Qur’ān and Context) consists of three main chapters following the introduction in which the subject, importance, purpose and method of the research are explained. Sa’lebe Kıssası-Esbâb-ı Nüzul’e Yeni Bir Yaklaşım (The Parable of Saʿlaba-A New Approach to Asbāb an-nuzūl), which is the second book of Kur’ân ve Bağlam (The Qur’ān and Context) explains the necessity of a new approach and research on the science of Asbāb an-nuzūl in accordance with the modern conditions from a theoretical and practical perspective. Tarihsellik ve Esbâb-ı Nüzûl (Historicity and Asbāb an-nuzūl), which is the third book of Kur’ân ve Bağlam (The Qur’ān and Context) examines the concept and problem of historicity. Although the work, which has the volume of three large sequential books, has all concentrated content and bibliography, it stands out from its contemporaries in its analytical methodology, successfully drawing a conceptual boundary, clearly defining the theoretical and practical frameworks, developing a new standard for the subject matter, and providing an up-to-date proposal. Our humble suggestion is that the situation of an updated version of the work as more concise and free of repetition, and an offer of new edition with other up-to-date practical examples, would further enhance the success of this comprehensive work.
