Authors: Chauhan Neelam , Sadhu Partha
Published: August 2022

Cleft palate is a developmental craniofacial anomaly with multiple aspects. With time, the understanding of its anatomy and its pathophysiology evolved leading to simultaneous improvement in surgical techniques. The timing of its surgical as well as nonsurgical management has great importance in determining the functional outcome. The priorities in its management and the techniques are quite well understood now though some difference of opinion still exists. In these series of articles, we aim to discuss its various aspects in detail, beginning with an emphasis on its history and anatomy.

Authors: Andaloro A , Maggio MG , Stagnitti MC , Marchese D , Calabrò RS
Published: August 2022

Background:

The Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has had a strong impact on eating behavior. To maintain health and well-being, correct nutrition is essential, especially when the immune system is under pressure.

Objective:

The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between emotional aspects and the eating behavior of a group of people living in Sicily during the lockdown due to COVID-19.

Methodology:

We used a cross-sectional survey design with an anonymous online questionnaire, administered through technological means.

Results:

During the COVID-19 pandemic, 91 participants experienced high stress (PSS = 18.14 ± 4.1), and eating was associated with emotional behaviors (DEBQ EM = 41.74 ± 10.9). Stress correlated positively with the emotional and external aspects of eating behaviors.

Conclusion:

The present study showed that the COVID-19 lockdown caused high stress with a worsening in eating behaviors. The study participants had difficulty in adequately coping with some emotions and feelings, developing an ‘addiction’ to food.

Authors: Gupta Rahul , Sharma Shyam Bihari , Goyal Ram Babu
Published: August 2022

Background:

Umbilical granuloma (UG) and umbilical polyps (UPs) are the most common umbilical abnormalities in neonates, causing inflammation and drainage.

Aims:

The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of the technique of silver nitrate cauterization and surgical excision on both UG and UP in pediatric patients.

Settings and Design:

A prospective study on UG and UP was carried out in a high-volume tertiary care teaching institute from January 2015 to December 2020.

Materials and Methods:

The patients were randomly distributed by chit method into two groups: Group A treated with surgical excision and Group B treated with silver nitrate cauterization.

Statistical Analysis:

The unpaired Student's t-test was used to find the existence of any statistical significance between the parameters of the two groups.

Results:

There were 105 patients with 59 males and 46 females. There were 70 patients in Group A and 35 in Group B. Most of the patients in both Group A and Group B were between >1 and 3 months of age group. Blood mixed umbilical discharge was the most common complaint. There was complete resolution of symptoms in 100% of patients in Group A. In Group B, success with first attempt with cauterization was achieved in 20 (57.14%) patients and 12 (34.29%) patients after the second attempt. In Group B, successful management was achieved in 2 (5.71%) patients after the third attempt combined with double ligation. In 1 (2.86%) patient, there was an incomplete response to cauterization. Minimal perilesional burn (in the umbilicus) was observed in four cases, two each in the UG and UP groups.

Conclusions:

The technique of silver nitrate cauterization for both UG and UP is a simple, less expensive, and safe procedure in experienced hands. Most patients show complete responses at the first attempt. In others, complete resolution is accomplished at the second or third attempt. Surgical excision should be performed in cases with an incomplete response and larger lesions.

Authors: Almalki Ashwaq Mohammed , Raffa Lina Hassan , Aldosari Ayat Mohammed , Alsulami Roaya Ayed
Published: August 2022

Background:

In Saudi Arabia, school health services lack adequate vision screening. To date, limited data on access to eye care in young children in Saudi Arabia exist.

Aim:

This study aims to evaluate whether parents who reside in Saudi Arabia know how to access eye care for their young children, and what barriers might exist to prevent them from seeking care.

Materials and Methods:

A cross-sectional study among parents of children 14 years or younger who reside in Saudi Arabia was conducted using an online questionnaire.

Results:

A total of 1023 completed questionnaires were analyzed. Of all responses, the majority 57.9% (n = 592) of parents reported that vision screening did not take place in their children's schools. Over half of the parents (n = 522, 58.9%) reported that their children had never undergone an eye examination before. Most common reason to seek eye care would be for concerns over poor vision reported in 59.5% (n = 609). The most common barrier to accessing eye care was not knowing how to access an eye test in 33.9% (n = 347) followed by a quarter of parents citing other reasons (n = 258, 25.2%) such as having no concerns and no clear reason to have their child's eyes examined.

Conclusion:

Parents in Saudi Arabia have some concerns and challenges in seeking eye care for their young children. Planned awareness programs to educate parents and help them overcome the barriers that hinder them from seeking eye care for their children are recommended.

Published: August 2022

Background:

Despite improvement in treatment modalities, a cancer diagnosis and its related treatments continue to cause significant distress.

Aims:

This study analyzed the prevalence of common symptoms, as well as the influence of various sociodemographic, clinical, and treatment characteristics on the quality of life (QoL).

Methods and Materials:

Data were gathered through the administration of the Quality of life questionnaire (QLQ-C30) from the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Patients (EORTC) to a Saudi adult population receiving treatments.

Statistical Analysis:

Data were analyzed using ttest, one way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Pearson's correlation test and linear regression analysis.

Results:

Four hundred patients (median age = 48) were surveyed (women = 58.5%). More than half had breast or gastrointestinal cancer. The Global QoL score was 71.1 with a 95% confidence interval (68.9–73.3). The lowest functional scale was Physical (69.8%). The most prevalent symptoms were fatigue (40.6%) and insomnia (39.1%). Men showed a higher emotional (P = 0.048) and cognitive (P = 0.013) functioning. Married patients reported better physical (P = 0.027) and cognitive (P = 0.004) functioning. Education was associated with better physical functioning (P = 0.003). More financial stress was present when caring for children (P = 0.017), living alone (P = 0.01), and living outside the treatment region (P = 0.001). Gaps were found between reported symptoms and provided treatments, especially for pain, constipation, and insomnia. Palliative care was involved in 7.5% of cases and mostly when higher levels of fatigue (P = 0.002), pain (P = 0.001), dyspnea (P = 0.05), and lower functioning were present.

Conclusion:

Significant differences were found according to sociodemographic, clinical, and treatment patients' characteristics, as well as significant gaps between reported symptoms and management plans in place. This study showed that various factors can influence the QoL and this knowledge can enable the provision of better support to maintain the QoL.

Authors: Inder Deep , Manak Seema , Akram Md. Faiz , Kumar Pawan
Published: August 2022

In India, Omicron (B1.1.529), a variant of concern of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has challenged the existing drug treatments options and available vaccines. Extensive search has been done to review updated information through original research articles, meta-analysis, and case reports available at EMBASE, SCOPUS, and Google Scholar, for treatment and preventive strategies against Omicron. Excessive mutations in SARS-CoV-2 (Omicron) led to immune escape witnessed for monoclonal antibodies, leaving very limited drug options to treat Omicron infected patients. Protection offered by existing vaccines appeared as a matter of concern as far as efficacy against Omicron is concerned. Although vaccination will not prevent re-infection in actively and passively immunized individual, but will prevent serious respiratory illness and death. The current review article imparts knowledge regarding pharmacotherapeutic agents, showing promise against Omicron. The present review also highlights updated data on newer vaccine candidates for their safety and efficacy for Omicron, based on postmarketing surveillance and Phase III clinical trials across the globe. There is a need to generate more data on drugs as well as vaccines specifically targeting Omicron, in order to contain SARS-CoV-2 new variant.
Great saphenous vein suppurative thrombophlebitis due to Fusobacterium necrophorum infection
Authors: Mawkili Abduallah
Published: August 2022

Fusobacterium necrophorum (F. necrophorum) is an anaerobic Gram-negative bacterium which does not form spores. F. necrophorum is usually associated with Lemierre's syndrome. The syndrome is characterized by thrombosis of the internal jugular vein with septicemia followed by oropharyngeal infection. In the present case report, a 27-year-old male with a significant medical history of intravenous drug use was presented in the emergency department. The patient presented a 3-day history of left lower extremity pain, redness, and swelling. His serological tests were positive for hepatitis C infection. The Duplex ultrasound (US) of the left lower extremity revealed extensive suppurative thrombophlebitis. The blood culture grew F. necrophorum, thus the patient was treated with IV ampicillin for 2 weeks, followed by additional 2 weeks of oral amoxicillin. At follow-up, 3 weeks later, the patient reported significant improvement in his symptoms. Three months later, lower extremity duplex in the US revealed resolving suppurative thrombophlebitis.

Genotype- by-environment interaction for marketable tuber yield in advanced potato clones using AMMI and GGE methods
Authors: Cadersa Y. , Santchurn D. , Govinden Soulange J. , Saumtally S. , Parmessur Y.
Published: August 2022

Analysis of genotype-by-environment interaction (GEI) is critical in the local potato breeding and selection programme to obtain information on the performance of the genotypes for yield adaptability and stability. The objective of this study was to assess the marketable tuber yield of 18 advanced potato clones compared to the commercial variety Spunta at four locations (Bigara, Réduit, St. Antoine and Rivière du Poste), representative of four major soil types in Mauritius. They were analysed for adaptability and stability using the additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) model and genotype main effect and genotype x environment interaction (GGE) biplot. Five clones gave significantly the highest marketable tuber yield in terms of overall ranking with yield increase of 47.4% to 59.6% over the control variety Spunta. AMMI analysis of variance detected significantly (P < 0.001) higher proportion of variation in marketable tuber yield due to environment (42%); followed by genotype x environment interaction (21%) which justified multi-locational testing. AMMI1 biplot demarcated clones 142/161/2 and 142/161/5 as high yielding and most stable while AMMI 2 biplot identified the winning genotypes for a specific environment. Thus, clones142/161/4 and 161/142/16 had specific adaptation to Bigara, 29/5/2 and 21/5/3 were adapted to St. Antoine, 21/5/10 to Rivière du Poste whereas 29/5/3 was adapted to Réduit. The GGE biplots identified clones 142/161/2 and 142/161/5 as the two most desirable genotypes close to the “ideal genotype”. The “which- won- where” view of the GGE biplot further pointed to the presence of two mega-environments, which corresponded to the sub-humid irrigated/humid environments (Réduit, St. Antoine and Rivière du Poste) and the high altitude super-humid environment (Bigara). These results showed that in future both AMMI and GGE methods can be integrated in the local potato breeding programme to select superior genotypes through multi-year and multi-locational yield evaluation.

Published: August 2022

Procrastination refers to a form of self-regulation on failure characterized by the irrational delay of tasks
despite potentially negative consequences. Fear of negative evaluation can be defined as the expectations
that others would evaluate oneself negatively, anxiety about others, negative evaluation and anguish over
the negative evaluation by others. Perceived stress refers to the degree to which events in a person’s life
are assessed as stressful, unpredictable and uncontrollable. The study was conducted to analyze the
relationship between the procrastination, fear of negative evaluation and perceived stress among the
emerging adults. The sample data were collected from 118 emerging adults from the commerce field and
who fall in the age range 18-25. The participants were from different colleges. The tools used in the study
are procrastination scale (PS), fear of negative evaluation (FNE) and perceived stress scale (PSS).
Spearman Rho correlation was used to find the correlation and the statistical analysis used were SPSS.
The findings showed that there is significant positive relationship between procrastination and perceived
stress (p<0.01) and also there is a significant positive relationship between procrastination and fear of
negative evaluation (p<0.01). The study concluded that the procrastination is highly correlated to fear of
negative evaluation and perceived stress.

Diabetes, sometimes known as diabetes mellitus or just diabetes, is a condition brought on by elevated
blood glucose levels. The diagnosis of diabetes can be made using a variety of conventional
techniques based on physical and chemical examinations. However, it can be difficult for medical
professionals to predict diabetes early.due to the complicated interconnectedness of numerous factors,
including how diabetes affects people,kidney, eye, heart, nerves, foot, and so forth. Methods of data
science have the potential toaid other scientific disciplines by providing fresh insights into established
issues. Among them is toassist in forecasting using medical data. Datascience has an emerging topic
called machine learning that studies how machines learn from experience. The purpose of this
research is to create a system that can detect diabetes in a patient with a higher risk.by merging the
outcomes of many machine learning methods. Goals of this projectusing three different supervised
machine learning techniques, such as SVM, ANN and logistic regression (Artificial neural network).

Confusion over the Concept of ʿAql and Logical Thinking among Young Muslims in Malaysia
Authors: Wan Yusoff Wan Mazwati
Published: August 2022

A popular phrase we hear when someone said or did something wrong is “he/she succumbed to logical mind”. This paradoxical statement has become a big wall that people would go to hide and escape from giving defensible justifications for claims made especially claims on religious beliefs and the unseen existences. This pose a huge problem for those who use logical thinking to evaluate the truth value of any proposition as if logical thinking would result in wrong judgment on truth and ethical proposition. What is more, some hold the belief that the Qur’ān shuns logic and thus Muslims are prohibited from applying logical thinking to determine truth from falsehood. This study explored young Muslims’ understanding of the concept of logic to get some insight on this phenomenon, so that informed decisions and planning could be made to arrest this confusion. Moreover, an assessment of young Muslims’ understandings is very important to ensure that they are in line with Qur’ānic teachings. Qualitative analysis was used to analyse data collected from 10 participants using semi-structured interviews. Since face to face interaction was not possible because of the current pandemic, interviews were done using Zoom, Google Meet and WhatsApp. The emergent themes that could be extracted from the participants’ responses were confusion on the understanding of ʿaql and the relationship between the spiritual brain and heart; logical mind as means to solve problems of non-religious issues; and the negative consequences of logical thinking (among others, that it could lead to unbelief). However, a minority of the respondents viewed logical thinking as necessary to understand revelation. This study also found that the young Muslims were weak in logical thinking.
Psycho-Spiritual States of Emotions and Their Interventions within Qur’ānic Narratives
Authors: Hassan Nur Jannah , Ahmad Nadzrah , El-Muhammady Asma M. Uthman
Published: August 2022

This article highlights different challenging emotional states exhibited by several prominent figures as narrated in the Qur’ān, and the approach taken by the Qur’ān in presenting and intervening with particular psycho-spiritual processes, which triggered such emotions. Materials and method: Anger (Q.12:84; Q.21:87), sadness (Q.12:86; Q.28:7), hopelessness (Q.19:23), trepidation (Q.19:24), and self-rumination/condemnation (Q.18:6) are among the conditions adversely affecting the emotional states of particular individuals, as exhibited in several Qur’ānic stories. Qualitative in nature, the article employs both content and textual analyses on selective verses of qaṣaṣ (narratives/stories) in the Qur’ān. Content analysis probes deeper into the context of the whole qiṣṣah (story) to examine the underlying causes that triggered certain state of emotion. Whilst textual analysis assists in the clear understanding of the verses in terms of meaning, linguistic value and coherence between verses surrounding the focal issue. Conclusion: The finding suggests that challenging emotions and their interventions as portrayed by Qur’ānic narratives are outcomes of both contextual implications, as well as psycho-spiritual states. These are normal human responses, even by prominent Qur’anic figures. Thoughts, psychological patterns and spiritual awareness pose as major contributing factors towards certain exposition of challenging emotional states. The significance lies in the way that their psycho-spiritual wakefulness has fortified them, enabling them to garner positive coping mechanisms to cope successfully.

Authors: Permana Iwan
Published: August 2022

There are many factors that influence disaster preparedness, one of which is self-efficacy. Many factors that influence self-efficacy in dealing with disasters include disaster training, social support and social capital. The purpose of this study was to find out what factors affect the community's self-efficacy in dealing with the tsunami disaster. Self-efficacy is an individual's belief in their ability to mobilize motivation, cognitive resources and institutions to exercise control over certain events. This type of research is correlational with a cross sectional approach. The population is the entire community in Pangumbahan Village, Ciracap District, Sukabumi Regency with a sample of 380 people. Sampling using Proportional Random Sampling. The instrument is declared valid & reliable. Data collection using questionnaires and statistical analysis using simple and multiple linear regression. The results showed that there was no significant effect of disaster training on self-efficacy (p-value 0.119), there was a significant effect of social support on self-efficacy (p-value 0.000), social capital on self-efficacy (p-value 0.000). In conclusion, there is an effect of social support and social capital on community self-efficacy in dealing with the tsunami disaster. It is hoped that the community will improve disaster preparedness by participating in various training and disaster simulations & getting involved in disaster-related institutions or organizations. The magnitude of the loss and the number of victims show that the community's preparedness in anticipating the impact of the disaster is still low.

Published: August 2022

The institution of marriage is succumbed to yield many causes giving birth to legal action arising from this single relation called ‘marriage’. From time immemorial people have been interacting across the border and hence there have been marriages between individuals crossing the territorial boundary of country. Every country has its own legal system usually different from the legal system based on distinguish cultural, religious or political identity. In this situation if a dispute out of marriage will arise wherein parties are from different legal systems, the court will have to decide about according to which particular law and legal system such conflicting situation relating to marriage would be adjudicated. Private international law is a path to guide judicial courts encountering such situations and this paper is all about how judges have to exercise jurisdiction and private international law and further according to which set of law/s such matrimonial disputes/causes should be addressed.

Person having different domicile, residence or nationality may enter into matrimonial relationship. At the time of marriage no one speculate any matrimonial dispute but emotion, relation and compatibility between emotion and relation is quite different things. Therefore, there is always risk/chance of fractions in every marriage. If parties to marriage are from the same legal system, then their dispute will be adjudicated according to their local substantive and procedural laws of their land. But, if such parties to marriage belong from different legal systems and further if they have married away from their own place viz. a third country, then the jurisdiction and the law to be applied in matrimonial disputes would be looked from the lenses of the private international law.

Thereafter these relations can also culminate into matrimonial disputes which take its legal effect through various matrimonial causes. This research paper mainly aims to analyse the various matrimonial causes present in a matrimonial dispute involving a foreign element which shall come under private international law and various choices oflaw rules, with special emphasis on nullity of marriage. This paper shall also briefly discuss the concept and validity of marriage. This paper shall analyse the concept of matrimonial causes in conflict of law through the Indian perspective. As India is a common law country which is of a shared British heritage and developed in England so the various concepts as aforementioned shall also include comparison with the English law. This paper shall conclude with authors’ observations and suggestions.
KUYUMCULUKTA DÖKÜM TEKNİĞİ (KAYIP MUM TEKNİĞİ) İLE YAPILAN ÜRÜNÜN ÜRETİM AŞAMALARI
Authors: Ergün Birsen
Published: August 2022

Kuyumculuk sanatında seri üretim yapmamızı sağlayan döküm tekniği(kayıp mum tekniği) ve bu teknikle üretimi gerçekleştirilen ürünün yapım aşamaları bu çalışmada ele alınmıştır. Araştırmanın amacını; kuyumculuk döküm tekniğinin tarihçesi, kuyumculuk döküm tekniği ile üretim yaparken uygulanan aşamalar, kullanılan araç gereçlerin neler olduğu oluşturmaktadır. Ayrıca döküm tekniği ile üretilmiş takılarda kullanılan malzemeler, motifler ve bezeme türleri gözlem formu ile incelenmiştir. Döküm tekniği uygulama aşamaları, döküm yaparken kullanılan malzemeler ve yöntemler hakkında bilgi, döküm yapan bir atölyede ustalarla görüşme yöntemi uygulanarak, yerinde yapılan gözlem ve incelemelerle sağlanmıştır. Bu gözlem ve incelemeler fotoğraf ve video çekilerek belgelenmiş, dijital ve basılı kaynak araştırmaları ile bilgi desteklenmiştir. Döküm tekniğinde; yapılmak istenilen modelin mumdan ya da reçine malzemeden modelinin oluşturulması, sonra bu modelin bir alçı ile kaplanması, alçının donup mum model etrafında kalıplaşması, kalıbın ısıtılması ile mum modelin erimesi ve kaybolması ilk işlem basamaklarıdır. Bu aşamada mumun eriyerek kaybolmasından dolayı tekniğe kayıp mum tekniği de denilmektedir. Döküm tekniği kuyumculuk alanında ticarette rekabet açısından seri üretimi sağlayarak zamandan ve masraftan tasarruf sağlandığı için alanla ilgili önemli bir tekniktir. Bir tasarımdan istenilen sayıda kısa bir sürede, modelde hiçbir değişiklik olmadan ve aynı anda üretebilmek tek tek elle üretimde mümkün değildir. Döküm tekniğinin bu kolaylığı sağladığı görülmektedir.
İKLİM İLE İLİŞKİLİ HUSUSLARIN FİNANSAL ETKİSİ VE FİNANSAL RAPORLARDA SUNUMU: BİR HAVAYOLU İŞLETMESİ ÖRNEĞİ
Authors: Cavlak Hakan
Published: August 2022

İklim ile ilişkili hususların (iklim değişikliği, iklim krizi) oluşturduğu riskler ya da fırsatlar, sadece çevresel değil aynı zamanda sosyal ve ekonomik etkilere de sahiptir. Bu etkilerin doğal olarak ekonominin en büyük aktörleri olan işletmelerin; faaliyetleri (üretim, tedarik zinciri, insan kaynakları vb.) ve finansal göstergeleri üzerinde de sonuçları olmaktadır. Dolayısıyla yatırımcılar başta olmak üzere birçok işletme paydaşı iklim ile ilişkili veya diğer muhtelif finansal olmayan hususların işletmenin faaliyetleri üzerindeki etkileri hakkındaki bilgilerin finansal raporlar içerisinde sunulmasını talep etmektedirler. İklim ile ilişkili hususların finansal açıklamalara dahil edilmesi konusunda artan bu talebi karşılamak adına uluslararası kurumlar (TCFD, CDSB, EFRAG vb.) son yıllarda birtakım çalışmalar yürütmektedir. Bu çalışmaların oluşturduğu karmaşık ve çoklu yapının IFRS Vakfı’nın Uluslararası Sürdürülebilirlik Standartları Kurulu’nu (ISSB) kurduğunu ilan etmesi ile birlikte daha sade hale geleceği öngörülmektedir. Kurul, konu hakkında IFRS S1 Sürdürülebilirlik ile İlişkili Finansal Bilgilerin Açıklanması için Genel Koşullar ve IFRS S2 İklim ile İlişkili Açıklamalar isimli iki standardı en kısa sürede sonuçlandırıp işletmelerin kullanımına sunmayı planlamaktadır. Böylelikle IFRS Vakfı bünyesinde faaliyet gösteren IASB ile finansal raporlamada sağlanan uluslararası standartlaşmanın ISSB ile finansal olmayan raporlamada da sağlanması öngörülmektedir. Uluslararası alanda bu gelişmeler yaşanırken Türkiye’deki işletmelerin iklim ile ilişkili hususlara yönelik açıklamaları finansal raporlarında nasıl yapacakları konusunda ise bir boşluk bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada söz konusu boşluktan hareket edilmiş olup konu ile ilgililere hem bir kavramsal çerçeve sunulmuş hem de konunun somut olarak anlaşılması için bir havayolu işletmesi örnek olayı üzerinden iklim ile ilişkili hususların zincirleme şekilde işletmenin finansal raporlarını nasıl etkilediği ve bu etkinin raporlarda nasıl sunulabileceği gösterilmiştir.
Sanatın İyileştirici Gücü Güzelyurt İlçe Devlet Hastanesi Seramik Duvar Panosu Örneği

Published: August 2022

Geçmişten günümüze kadar insanoğlu, yaşadığı mekanların ihtiyaçları doğrultusunda, fiziki şartlarının yerine getirilmesi yanında, estetik ihtiyacının da karşılamasına yönelik çalışmaları olmuştur. Burada sanatın çok önemli bir rolü vardır. Mimari yapılarda sanat eserlerinin kullanımı ile insan ve mekân arasında duygusal bir bağ kurulmaktadır. İnsan hayatının en önemli mekânı olan hastaneler, sağlık ihtiyacını karşılamak için yapılmış önemli yapılardır. Genellikle kişilerin sağlıkla ilgili yaşadıkları problemleri olduğu zaman zorunlu olarak gittikleri hastaneler, toplum içerisinde olumsuz çağrışımları olan mekanları içermektedir. Bu bağlamda son yıllarda bu algının kırılması için hastane yapılarında tasarım ve sanatsal çalışmalar boyutunda önemli değişmeler olduğu gözlenmektedir. Sanatın iyileştirici gücünün olduğu yapılan araştırmalarda kanıtlanmıştır. Seramik duvar panoları da günümüzde birçok hastanelerin bekleme salonlarında ve çeşitli bölgelerinde estetik ifade dili olarak yerini almaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı sanatın iyileştirici gücünün temel alınarak bu alanda yapılan araştırmaların literatür taraması yapılarak, sanat eserlerinin ve özellikle seramik duvar panoların, ülkemizde ve yurt dışından örneklerini sunmaktır. Bu çalışma kapsamında örnek olarak Aksaray Güzelyurt İlçe Devlet Hastanesine seramik duvar panosu tasarım ve uygulama süreci değerlendirilmiştir.
KÜLTÜREL SERMAYENİN KARİYER BAŞARISINDAKİ ROLÜ
Authors: Üstünoldu Kandemir Ayşe
Published: August 2022

Bu çalışma, kültürel sermayenin kariyer başarısındaki rolünü incelemektedir. Kariyer başarısını etkileyen hususlar, yazında çoğunlukla demografik, beşerî sermaye, sosyal sermaye ve yapısal faktörler ekseninde ele alınmış ancak bireyin erken çocukluk döneminden itibaren edinmeye başladığı kültürel sermayenin etkisi yeterli ilgiliyi görmemiştir. Yapılmış sınırlı çalışma, kültürel sermayenin işe girişte destekleyici bir unsur olduğunu savunmakla birlikte kişinin kariyer başarısında nerede durduğuna yönelik sonuçların bulanık olduğu görülmektedir. Nicel veri toplama yönetiminin tercih edildiği araştırmada, İletişim Danışmanlığı Şirketleri Derneği’ne (İDA) bağlı şirketlerde çalışan 126 halkla ilişkiler profesyoneline ulaşılmıştır. Ayrıca, kolayda örnekleme tekniği ile diğer sektörlerde çalışan 199 uzmana ölçekler uygulanmış ve elde edilen veriler analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmanın bulgularına göre, Türkiye’deki çalışanların kültürel sermayeleri ile kariyer başarıları (nesnel ve öznel) arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı bir ilişki vardır. Bununla birlikte halkla ilişkiler uzmanlarının kültürel sermaye düzeyleri diğer çalışanlara göre yüksek olsa bile söz konusu kültürel kaynakların kariyer başarısı üzerindeki etkisinin diğer çalışanlara göre çok daha sınırlı olduğu bulgulanmıştır.

A imaginação criadora como possibilidade metodológica nas aulas de Geografia: Uma experiência no PIBID
Authors: Santana Anderson Castro de
Published: August 2022

O presente artigo pretende discutir as possibilidades do uso da imaginação criadora, ou poética, como metodologia do ensino de Geografia, pois após observações feitas em aulas de Geografia para alunos do ensino médio de Salvador, notamos que o aporte teórico-metodológico que os professores adotam para suas aulas não buscam tocar no que se refere a imaginação dos alunos, muitas vezes ela não é incentivada e explorada para a construção dos saberes geográficos. Neste contexto, vamos discutir a luz do filósofo Bachelard (1991,1993,1994,2006) a imaginação, em destaque a imaginação poética, suas possibilidades e como ela pode ser trabalhada em sala de aula, depois vamos tentar propor um diálogo com o autor Vygotsky (2009) que tem uma ideia relativamente parecida com a de Bachelard sobre esta temática, mas faz conexões com a aprendizagem. Para análise desta pressuposição foi feita uma experiência no projeto de iniciação à docência no Instituto Federal da Bahia e com isso analisamos que a imaginação poética pode ser bastante benéfica para as aulas de geografia, se adotada como um elemento metodológico para compor as aulas de Geografia
O que tem na fronteira internacional de Ponta Porã/MS? desafios e oportunidades para as escolas no ensino de Geografia
Authors: Vergutz Silvano Artur Busch , Pacífico Marsiel
Published: August 2022

O artigo busca compreender a importância de se aprender Geografia nas séries iniciais, mais especificamente no 3º ano do Ensino Fundamental, nas escolas de fronteira em Ponta Porã, Mato Grosso do Sul. Para tanto, buscou-se entender a contextualização no ensino de Geografia a partir da leitura do mundo e do espaço vivido, valorizando as diversidades culturais existentes em uma área de fronteira internacional. Para alcançar tal objetivo, utilizou-se como metodologia a pesquisa bibliográfica, a partir da seleção de artigos publicados, bem como revistas científicas e sites dedicados na área da Educação. Mediante as dificuldades enfrentadas pelas escolas, observou-se a falta de conteúdos local-específicos nesse componente curricular assegurados na BNCC e no Referencial Curricular do estado de Mato Grosso do Sul, que estabelecem as devidas diretrizes para as escolas de Ponta Porã. Em síntese, objetivou-se refletir os desafios e as oportunidades para referenciar o ensino-aprendizagem, tendo em vista as especificidades locais existentes na fronteira, para resgatar a identidade cultural. Conclui-se que a exploração do turismo pedagógico, a aula-passeio e a interdisciplinaridade podem potencializar o aprendizado, contemplando os documentos normativos.
