NEWS GAMES IN THE UKRAINIAN MEDIA SPACE DURING THE FULL-SCALE RUSSIAN INVASION
Authors:   Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, Aleksandrov Pavlo
Published: March 2024

The phenomenon of news games on the topic of the Russian-Ukrainian war of 2022-2023 has been explored in the article. During the research, a number of gaming projects from this period were analyzed, their genre and thematic specificity were determined, examples of gaming products were provided, and our own concept of a news game on the topical subject of wartime was presented. In 2022-2023, many game projects on the theme of the war in Ukraine appeared, which can be fully or partially classified as news games, conditionally dividing them into “civilian” ones, where the game character is a volunteer, an immigrant, a peaceful resident of the occupied territory, etc. and “combat”, in which the character is a Ukrainian soldier or combat unit. These games are primarily developed by gaming studios or individual game developers, rather than journalistic editorial teams, and they target an international audience (almost all the analyzed games have an English version). We categorize these news games as “entertainment” (those primarily oriented towards humor, boosting morale, and using current information or media images) and “serious” (those attempting to explain, reveal the essence, and show the war through the eyes of witnesses). According to the level of technical implementation, these games can be divided into “simple” ones (browser-based, requiring no download or payment) and “complex” ones that offer extended gameplay and are available only through subscription. Almost all gaming projects encourage donations to the Armed Forces of Ukraine and charitable funds, and the authors of paid games always emphasize that a portion of the proceeds will go towards supporting Ukrainian military personnel. Despite their significant potential, news games currently occupy a small niche in the Ukrainian media landscape. At the same time, in our opinion, the creative possibilities offered by the gaming mechanism of this interactive narrative are quite promising for explaining and revealing various socially important topics related to the Russian-Ukrainian war. Keywords: gamification; news games; game format; game research.

Authors:   Western Ukrainian National University, Kominiarska Lіudmyla , Blashkiv Olga
Published: March 2024

The article conducts an analysis of the content of regional Public Television during the full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war. A comparative analysis of programs created by regional teams of the Public broadcaster before the full-scale invasion is presented. The research aims to study and provide a detailed analysis of the television content of regional branches of Public Television to understand the peculiarities of operation during a state of war, track changes in the thematic content, and speech format. Analytical methods of scientific research (analysis of television content of regional branches of Public Television), as well as inductive, deductive, and abstract-logical methods, are employed. The historical method is applied to the study of television reform in Ukraine. The key method in the research is content analysis, which is used to study the impact of television reform on the quality and volume of content of regional branches of Public Television. Using the example of the content of “Suspilne-Ternopil,” the thematic and problematic content of programs of the regional branch of Public Television is investigated. A significant reduction in the share of in-house produced content on local issues is identified. In particular, at the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the production of the program “Today. Main” was suspended, a socio-political talk show that extensively covered local issues. Emphasis is placed on the importance of regional media in times of war, representing the interests of the public at both regional and central levels. In our opinion, regional broadcasters of Public Television should reintroduce in-house produced programs to restore a platform for discussing local issues. Strengthening ties with high-quality media from neighboring states is also advisable, specifically for the exchange of journalists’ experiences and high-quality content. Keywords: Public television, television reform, Russian-Ukrainian war, television content, broadcast, regional branch.
CONTROVERSIAL ISSUES REGARDING THE COMPONENT OF NATIONAL JOURNALISM STUDIES – GENRE STUDIES (REFERENCE TO A TOPICAL SCIENTIFIC ARTICLE BY PROFESSOR MYKOLA TYMOSHYK)
Authors:   Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, Sklenar Ihor , Lozynskyi Maryan
Published: March 2024

The article is a reference to a scientific publication by Mykola Tymoshyk, Professor and Head of the Department of Journalism at the Kyiv National University of Culture and Arts, who raised a number of topical issues in the field of national journalism studies. The purpose of this review is to examine the main points of this article through the prism of my teaching (primarily lecturing) and journalistic experience. Using the method of content analysis, the article discusses the controversial issues related to the concept of «journalism genre», distinguishes the strengths of the researcher’s main theses on the theory and practice of genres. The article points out the valuable aspects of Prof. Tymoshyk’s article for researchers of journalistic genres, especially with regard to the grouping of genres in the works of foreign authors (European and American schools of journalism). These groupings are supplemented by the vision of German authors - researchers of media genres. In this article the author uses the historical method to examine the current works of Ukrainian media scholars on the issue of the main groups of genres. The author discusses with Prof. M. Tymoshyk on the subject of presence of some genres in the media of our information space and the expediency of their consideration in the studies of media researchers. Attention is paid to the advantages of this publication in relation to the following issues: the ambiguity of journalistic investigation from the point of view of journalism theory, the expediency of using the concept of «hybrid genres» in scientific texts of media researchers. The conclusion about necessity of further research on the issues of genre creation in journalism, especially in the context of the current war is made. The researcher’s thesis about the importance of not theoretical «new products» in the form of new names of genres as forms of journalistic presentation, but the substantiation of their varieties within the existing genres of national journalism is accepted. Key words: genre, genre studies, journalism, school of journalism, article, author, scientific publication.
Simultaneous Multicomponent Topology Optimization using Unilateral Contact-Constraints
Authors: Schmidt Timo Hendrik , Seifried Robert
Published: March 2024

In this paper, a framework for topology optimization of assemblies considering unilateral contact-constraints is introduced. Here, an assembly consists of two or more components that are connected via joints, and the topology of all components of the assembly are optimized simultaneously. Therefore, linear-elastic material is considered and the augmented Lagrangian approach imposing Signorini’s contact condition is used. In doing so, the unilateral characteristic of contact is taken into account. Furthermore, the influence of different contact modeling techniques, i.e. augmented Lagrangian approach, a standard penalty approach and a unilateral penalty approach, on the optimized designs are discussed. For topology optimization, the SIMP-approach is applied to all members of the assembly and sensitivity filtering is used. In consequence, the global design space of the optimization consists of the normalized densities of all members of the assembly. Using the proposed approach, one can optimize a topology for the whole assembly instead of optimizing all members of the assembly independently. This is of major importance, since changes in the topology of any member will lead to changes in the force transfer at the joints, which in consequence influences the optimization of all members of the assembly.

Authors: Amaral Jackson Barros do , Nogueira Vinícius José Moreira , Silva Wendell da Luz
Published: March 2024

In Brazil, the social demand for veterinary expertise is growing. However, there is still a shortage of professionals trained in this area to apply specific knowledge to each case. Studies and research into forensic veterinary medicine are necessary for veterinary experts to assist in investigations and legal proceedings. Veterinary medicine has subjects on its curriculum that cover the knowledge needed to apply in the fields of animal health, public health and the environment. The interaction between human and veterinary medicine, as well as other areas of health, is of great importance in the prevention and control of various diseases, both in animals and humans. Some cases of infectious bovine abortion have a major impact not only on cattle farming and animal health, but also on public and environmental health. The concept of "One Health" integrates human medicine and health professionals. In this context, knowledge of infectious abortive diseases that affect animal, human and environmental health is fundamental. Cattle are affected by specific infectious abortive diseases, caused by pathogens with different forms of presentation and transmission mechanisms. These include brucellosis, leptospirosis and listeriosis, which are potentially zoonotic diseases. Controlling these diseases can contribute to effective public health actions and reduce global health risks. In order to establish the diagnosis of these diseases, it is essential to properly collect specimens from live or dead animals under biosafety and biosecurity conditions, following the chain of custody for each case. These procedures allow for greater success in diagnosing the suspected agent, and facilitate the investigation of other causes. Animal health standards for the prophylaxis and control of these diseases are established by specific legislation, including those of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (MALS). This literature review was based on current knowledge on the Pubmed platform, Google Scholar, articles and textbooks. The aim of this article is to identify, understand and discuss the main infectious abortive diseases of cattle in the legal and forensic context, which have an impact on cattle farming, animal health, food safety, public, and environmental health.

Corrective feedback: Pragmatic exposures in EFL classroom interactions
Authors: Darong Hieronimus Canggung , Guna Stanislaus
Published: March 2024

The questioning act is considered to be one of the most common and prominent features of classroom interactions. This analysis was proposed to reveal teachers’ questioning acts serving as pragmatic exposures in their corrective feedback strategies as they interact with students in the classroom. Data were collected from two EFL teachers that conveniently observed so-called non-intrusive observation, taking notes, and audio-recording that was subsequently transcribed. Certain episodes obtained from transcription were chosen and scrutinized in light of how well they contributed to the aim of the study using Conversation Analysis (CA). As a result, this study has yielded important insights into what and how questions are. Through corrective feedback, teacher questions were not only regarded and associated with their pedagogical purposes but also with the pragmatic and social function depending on the context where and how they possibly appeared. Besides giving a contribution to the body of knowledge, the questioning act provides significance and brings solutions to problematic classroom interactions that most teachers might have in the class.

Regelfolgen und Normativität: Ansätze einer transzendentalen Semantik
Authors: Reichardt Bastian
Published: March 2024

Wittgenstein's discussion of rule-following can be considered as a part of his criticism of metaphysics: Naturalistic as well as non-naturalistic ontologies fail to present us an adequate explanation of the normative dimension of linguistic behavior. In this paper, we will reconstruct this criticism of metaphysics and show that thereby we gain an important philosophical insight: Wittgenstein's criticism implies that the normativity of language is not a phenomenon that stands in need for an explanation but rather – to the contrary – has to be considered as a primitive, non-reducible condition that we have to presuppose in order to show how linguistic meaning is possible at all. In this sense, the notion of rule-following gives rise to a transcendental semantics.
Melatonin, ATP, and Cataracts: The Two Faces of Crystallin Phase Separation
Authors: Loh Doris , Reiter Russel J.
Published: March 2024

The high concentration of crystallin proteins in the lens maintains transparency and clarity via a high refractive index that ensures optical quality. The chaperone-like activity of crystallins protects lenses against damaging protein aggregation and misfolding. The highly-crowded molecular environment in the lens fosters dehydration entropy-driven phase separation of crystallin proteins that can be activated by changes in temperature, ion and salt concentrations; and exposure to endogenous and exogenous stress including reactive oxygen species (ROS) and ultraviolet radiation. The sensitive balance between melatonin and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) prevents amorphous crystallin condensates from transitioning into amyloidogenic fibrillar aggregates present in late-stage cataracts. Melatonin exerts a multi-pronged strategy against cataractogenesis: first by scavenging ROS at condensate redox-reactive interfaces, effectively preventing the removal of water molecules from protein hydration shells that can cause the formation of pathogenic amyloid fibrils, then by complementing the ability of ATP to solubilize and disassemble protein aggregates via the adenosine moiety. Melatonin and ATP together strengthen hydrogen bonding, ensuring the proper ratio of bound water to free water, thereby preventing aberrant phase separation of crystallins and cataractogenesis. The progression of cataracts and glaucoma may be a reflection of an age-related decline in the production of melatonin and ATP exacerbated by exposure to light at night. Targeting this powerful, ancient synergy between melatonin and ATP offers an efficacious solution for ocular diseases driven by phase separation.

Authors: Cabon Flavien , Soldati Fabien
Published: March 2024

Oochrotus unicolor Lucas, 1852 (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae) is a rarely collected and little-known myrmecophilous with reduced eyes darkling beetle, mostly living deep in the nests of seed-harvesting ants belonging to the genus Messor Forel, 1890 (Hymenoptera, Formicidae). As of now, few data are available and the distribution of the species in France needs to be updated, particularly due to the recent discovery of new localities and new administrative departments. Oochrotus unicolor is currently known in six Mediterranean departments: Pyrénées-Orientales, Aude, Hérault, Bouches-du- Rhône, Var and Alpes-Maritimes (from west to east), with a total of only 24 localities, including historical data. We detail and discuss the commensalism of the species. A distribution map and photos of adults are also provided.

Background: Depression is a serious mental illness with symptoms such as worry, disturbed sleep and appetite, lack of interest or pleasure, and persistent sorrow. Objectives: This study aims to assess the effect of fluvoxamine (FLX) on behavioral and electrophysiological alterations of the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) and the hippocampus in rats with depression. Materials & Methods: Thirty-two albino rats (weighing 250–300 g) were divided into four groups; control (sham), chronic mild stress (CMS), FLX, and CMS+FLX. The CMS was induced by applying different stressors for 3 weeks. Intraperitoneal injection of FLX (25 mg/Kg) was performed daily for 14 days in the treatment group. Depressive-like behaviors were assessed, and local field potentials (LFP) from the hippocampus and the PCC were recorded. Results: FLX effectively reduced depressive-like behaviors in rats with CMS (P≤0.05). Additionally, depression-induced alterations in LFP were observed in the hippocampus and the PCC. Depression reduced the power of delta and theta bands and increased the hippocampal low-gamma band power (P≤0.05). In the PCC, depression increased the power of delta and low-gamma bands and reduced the power of the alpha band (P≤0.05). Conclusion: FLX reduce depression-like behaviors in the animal model, possibly through affecting electrophysiological activity of the hippocampus and the PCC.

Background: Anxiety as an important psychological disorder that has affected many people and has made them to spend a lot of money for its treatment. Objectives: This study aims to assess the anxiolytic effect of the hydro-alcoholic extract of Anethum Graveolens L. seed (AGS) combined with the antagonist of estrogen receptor in female rats with anxiety. Materials & Methods: In this study, 66 female Wistar rats were divided into eight groups as follow as: Negative control (10 ml/kg saline), positive control (0.6 mg/kg diazepam), five groups of AGS extract (0.1, 1, 10, 100 and 1000 mg/kg) and tamoxifen+AGS extract (10 mg/kg). Anxiety indicators were measured by the elevated plus maze (EPM) test. Results: The percentage of time spent open arms (%OAT) and percentage open arms entry (%OAE) significantly increased after using 10 mg/Kg dose of AGS extract compared to control group. Tamoxifen could significantly reduce this increase caused by AGS extract on anxiety indices. Conclusion: Considering the anxiolytic effect of the hydro-alcoholic extract of AGS and the reduction of this effect by the antagonist of estrogen receptor (tamoxifen), it can be concluded that the extract’s anxiolytic effect may be due to interaction with estrogen receptor.

Background and Aims Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the world; which can cause disability. One of the main goals of rehabilitation in these patients is to improve their upper limb function. Dual-task training (DTT) is one of the rehabilitation methods in stroke patients, which include performing motor tasks along with mental exercises. This study aims to investigate the effect of DTT on upper limb function, elbow flexor muscle tone, wrist extension range of motion (ROM), and the ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL) in women with chronic stroke. Methods In this pilot study, 16 female patients suffering from chronic stroke for more than 6 months were selected and divided into two groups of 8 including training and control. In both groups, the routine treatment included electrical stimulation of quadriceps and dorsiflexors of the affected hand, 10 minutes of bicycling, and performing three movement tasks for the upper limb (sorting colored blocks, opening and closing the bottle cap with the affected hand, and moving the beans with a spoon towards a determined point). In the training group, DTT included performing these three movement tasks simultaneously with performing mental task (counting down from 100). The training was performed for 4 weeks at 12 sessions, three sessions per week. The upper limb function was measured by the box & block test; elbow flexor muscle tone by the modified Ashworth scale; active ROM of wrist extension by a goniometer; and ADL by the Barthel index before and after the treatments. Results No significant difference was found in any variables between the two groups (P>0.05). In both in groups, there was a significant improvement in the three variables of elbow flexor muscle tone, upper limb function, and the ability to perform ADL after interventions compared to baseline (P<0.05). However, no significant difference was found in the active ROM of wrist extension in any groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Training with and without DTT can lead to significant improvement in elbow flexor muscle tone, upper limb function, and the ability to perform ADL in women with chronic stroke. The DTT has no superior effect on these variables.

Background and Aims In recent years, the use of motor learning training methods to reduce anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries has been considered by researchers, and finding the best training method in this field has become very important. In this study, we aim to compare the effects of linear and non-linear motor learning methods on kinematic variables during a landing task. Methods in this study, 24 students from Kharazmi University who were beginner basketball players, were selected by a convenience sampling method, and divided into two groups of linear pedagogy (LP) and non-linear pedagogy (NLP). They received training methods for two months, two sessions per week (each for 90-115 minutes). In the LP group, the presentation of movement patterns and feedback was used. In the NLP group, the manipulation of constraints (environmental factors and tasks) was used so that the individuals could discover their own unique performance. The measured kinematic variables were trunk flexion angle, hip flexion angle, knee flexion angle, knee valgus angle, ankle dorsiflexion angle, hip range of motion, knee range of motion, ankle range of motion, hip flexion range, and knee flexion range. Results The results of the analysis of covariance showed that the NLP had significantly better effects on all kinematic variables compared to the LP (P<0.05). Conclusion The NLP, by focusing on exploration and finding optimal solutions, is a more effective strategy to prevent ACL injury by affecting kinematic variables. This emphasizes the role of constraint manipulation in training.
Türkiye ile Rusya Arasındaki Dış Ticaretin Farklı Endeks Türlerine Göre Analizi
Authors: Erkekoğlu Hatice , Koçer Emre
Published: March 2024

Türkiye ile Rusya arasındaki dış ticaret son 15 yılda giderek artış göstermiştir. Türkiye’nin 2005 yılından bu yana Rusya’ya olan ihracatı bazı yıllarda 3 katından fazla artış göstererek günümüzde 4 milyar doları geçmiştir. Bunun yanı sıra Türkiye’nin Rusya’dan olan ithalatı 2005 yılında 12,9 milyar iken 2020 yılında 17,8 milyara yükselerek 15 yıllık zaman aralığında %37,98’lik bir artış yaşanmıştır. Buradan hareketle, Türkiye ile Rusya arasındaki dış ticaretin yapısı ürün gruplarına göre analiz edilerek karşılaştırmalı üstünlük, dış ticarette sektörel yoğunlaşma ve endüstri içi ticarete göre analiz edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla çalışmada yöntem olarak Açıklanmış Karşılaştırmalı Üstünlükler Endeksi (AKÜ), Gini Hirschman Endeksi ve Grubel Lloyd Endeksi kullanılmıştır. Bu bağlamda, Türkiye ve Rusya’nın 2005-2020 yıllarını kapsayan dış ticaret verileri ITC (Uluslararası Ticaret Merkezi) veri tabanından sağlanarak Avrupa İstatistik Ofisinin (EUROSTAT) 2021 yılında Armonize Mal Tanımı ve Kodlama Sistemine göre oluşturduğu 21 kısımdan oluşan Birleştirilmiş Mal Sınıflamasına göre veriler alınmıştır. Çalışmadan elde edilen bulgulara göre Türkiye’nin Rusya’ya yaptığı ihracatında sektörel çeşitliliğin ithalatındaki çeşitliliğe göre daha fazla olduğu görülmüştür. Bununla birlikte, Türkiye’nin 21 mal grubunun 16’sında karşılaştırmalı üstünlüğünün olduğu ve 4 mal grubunda karşılaştırmalı üstünlüğünün bulunmadığı ve 1 mal grubunda da sonuçların nötr olduğu görülmüştür. Grubel-Lloyd endeksine göre de Türkiye-Rusya arasındaki endüstri içi ticaret yedi ürün grubunda 0,50’nin üstünde iken, 14 ürün grubunda ise 0,50’nin altında kalmış olup endüstri içi ticaretin düşük seviye olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Potansiyel turistlerin seyahat planlama sürecinde başta yakın çevreleri olmak üzere birçok farklı kaynaktan bilgi topladıkları bilinmektedir. Ancak bu bilgilerle yetinmeyen bireyler özellikle son dönemlerde daha da popülerleşen seyahat inceleme siteleri, erişimin ücretsiz ve kolay olması nedeniyle daha fazla tercih edilmeye başlanmıştır. Bu internet sitelerindeki yorumlar, potansiyel turistlerin kararlarını önemli ölçüde etkilemektedir. Bu sitelerde yer alan olumlu yorumlar müşterileri o işletmeyi tercih etmeye yöneltirken, olumsuz yorumlar ise tercih etmemelerine neden olmaktadır. Bu seyahat inceleme siteleri arasında en popüler sitelerden biri de TripAdvisor sitesidir. Bu çalışmada, Kastamonu ilinde faaliyet gösteren ve ünlü seyahat inceleme sitelerinden biri olan TripAdvisor sitesine kayıtlı olan konaklama işletmelerine yönelik yapılan şikâyet içerikli çevrim içi yorumlar incelenmiştir. İncelenen yorumların analiz edilerek, hoşnutsuzluk sebeplerinin genel bir çerçevesini ortaya koymak ve turizm işletmeleri açısından farkındalık oluşturmak çalışmanın amacını oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışmada içerik analizi tekniği kullanılmış ve verilerin analiz edilmesinde “MAXQDA 2022” programı aracılığı ile kodlamalar yapılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, Kastamonu’daki konaklama işletmelerine yönelik, odalar, yiyecek-içecek, personel, ön büro ve fiyat konularında şikâyetlerin ön plana çıktığı belirlenmiştir. Odaların ısınması/soğuması, yiyecek-içeceklerin kalitesiz ve çeşitliliğin az olması, fiyatların pahalı olması, personelin ilgisizliği, işletmelerde herhangi bir muhatap bulunmaması gibi şikâyetler, müşterilerin en fazla hoşnutsuzluk duyduğu konular olarak belirlenmiştir. Bu kapsamda, konaklama işletmelerinin daha iyi hale getirilebilmesi için bazı önerilerde bulunulmuştur.

COVID-19 salgını birçok ülkede küresel boyutta etkisini göstermiştir. Salgının etkisi ile özellikle ekonomik ve sosyal alanlarda olumsuz değişimler yaşamıştır. Türkiye’de finansal sistemin en önemli dalı olan bankacılık sektörü salgın döneminde oldukça etkilenmiştir. Bankacılık sektörü salgın döneminin olumsuz etkileri ve belirsizlik ortamında güvenli bir şekilde faaliyetlerine devam edebilmek için birtakım önlemler almıştır. Bu önlemler salgının etkisi ile oluşan riskli süreci daha iyi yönetmeye ve en az zararla atlatmaya yardımcı olmuştur. Pandemi döneminde bankaların karşılaştığı en büyük problemlerden biri ise kredi riski olmuştur. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın amacı ise pandemi döneminde bankaların en çok karşılaştığı kredi risklerini incelemektir. Çalışmada bankalar tarafından Türkiye Bankalar Birliği Risk Merkezine bildirimi yapılan nakdi kredilerin ve tasfiye olunacak alacakların, gelecek dönemler için tahminleri yapılmıştır. Analizde gri sistem teorisi içinde yer alan gri tahmin modeli GM (1,1) tercih edilmiştir. Analiz için 2020/02-2021/12 dönemine ait çeyrek dönemlik veriler kullanılmıştır. Veriler ile GM (1,1) modelleri kurulmuştur ve simülasyon değerleri hesaplanmıştır. Kurulan modellerin göreli hata payları sırası ile %3,42 ve %1,49 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Ardından gelecek iki çeyrek dönem için bankaların nakdi kredileri ve tasfiye olunacak alacaklar tahmin verileri elde edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak elde edilen bulgularla bankaların kredi riskleri hakkında öngörüde bulunulmuştur. Bu çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçların bankaların uygulayacakları politikalara katkı sağlaması beklenmektedir.

Sağlık kurumları, diğer kurumlara göre daha farklı ve daha hassas bir hizmetin sunulmasını gerektirmektedir. Hastanelerde taleplerdeki tutarsızlıklar ve belirsizlikler, hizmet süreçlerinin oldukça karmaşık olması, sunulan hizmetlerin hem karmaşık hem de büyük ekipler aracılığıyla eşgüdüm içerisinde olması gerekliliği, tıbbın ve teknolojinin hızlı bir gelişim ve değişim göstermesinden dolayı hem liderlikte hem de üyeler de gerçekleşebilen etkileşim düzeyini önemli bir boyuta taşımıştır. Ancak bu tür durumlar aynı şekilde lider ile üye arasındaki etkileşimde, çatışmanın da yaşanabileceğini göstermektedir. Çatışma yönetimleri lider üye etkileşimlerine bağlı şekillenebilmektedir. Lider, üyeler ile etkileşimde aksaklık meydana gelmesi halinde sorunların da artabileceğini bilmeli, bu amaçla, çatışma çözümleme becerisinde gelişebilecek sorunları belirlemelidir. İfade edilenler çerçevesinde lider üye etkileşimi açısından çatışma yönetim davranışları sağlık kurumları için büyük bir önem taşımaktadır. Bu noktadan hareketle çalışmanın amacı, kamu hastanelerinde çalışan hemşirelerin lider üye etkileşimi ve çatışma yönetimi davranışlarını belirlemek, demografik ve mesleki özellikler ile arasındaki ilişkiyi belirleyip, kamu hastanesinde çalışan hemşirelerin lider üye etkileşimi ve çatışma yönetimi davranışları arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Araştırma altı kamu hastanesinde çalışan hemşirelere dağıtılan anket ile uygulanmış olup, SPSS programı ile analiz edilmiştir. Yapılan bu araştırmada kamu sağlık kurumunda çalışan hemşirelerin lider üye etkileşimi ve çatışma yönetimi davranışları arasındaki ilişki korelasyon ve regresyon testleri ile ölçülmüş olup, ilişkiler arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmaktadır.
