Göçün Kadına Etkileri Ve Sosyal Hizmet
Authors: TOPAK Emel , ÇAMUR Gülsüm
Published: April 2022

Göç, tarihin en eski dönemlerinden beri yapılmakta olan, çağ açıp kapatan, sebepleri ve sonuçları insan hayatını yakından etkileyen bir olgudur. Göç edilen ülke ile varılan ülke arasındaki farklılıklar hem göç edenler hem de varılan ülkelerdeki insanlar için birtakım yenilikler anlamına gelmektedir. Göçün bireyler ve toplumlar üzerinde oluşturduğu etkilerin, cinsiyet temelinde irdelenmesi ise yakın bir tarihte başlamıştır. Göç literatüründe göçten olumsuz anlamda en çok etkilenen gruplardan birinin kadınlar olduğuna yakın tarihten itibaren dikkat çekilmektedir. Kadınların hedef ülkeye varış sürecinde ve sonrasında yaşadıkları sorunlar, mücadeleyi ve hayatlarını yeniden inşa etmelerini gerekli kılmaktadır. Sosyal hizmet, toplumda birçok açıdan dezavantajlı olarak görülen bireylere ihtiyaçları kapsamında profesyonel destek vermeyi amaçlar. Bu derleme makalede öncelikle göçün kadınlaşması sürecine ve kadınların göç etme sebeplerine yer verilmiştir. Bu sürecin göçmen kadının aile hayatını, maddi durumunu ve sosyal uyumunu nasıl etkilediğinden bahsedilmiştir. Son olarak ise sosyal hizmet uygulamalarında göçmen, kadının sorun ve gereksinimlerine yönelik güçlendirme yaklaşımının rolü ve etkileri tartışılmıştır.

A Meshfree Approach for Simulating Fluid Flow in Fractured Porous Media
Authors: Lamb Anthony R. , Villarroel-Lamb Deborah
Published: April 2022

This paper presents a meshfree approach for simulating fluid flow in fractured porous media using a novel fracture (FM) mapping approach. Fracture mapping is a continuum-based approach which simulates the flow interaction between the porous matrix and existing fractures via a transfer function. The approach simulates fluid flow through both the matrix and the fractures and is well suited to models containing sparsely spaced, unconnected fractures. The presented approach determines the fluid flow using approximating functions constructed employing the radial point interpolation method (RPIM) meshfree formulation which uses radial basis functions (RBFs) augmented with polynomials. As part of this meshfree scheme a nodal integration procedure has been implemented thereby removing the need for background integration cells that are usually required for meshfree schemes that rely on Gaussian integration. Numerical test results illustrate the methods ability to adequately describe the fluid pressure fields within a fractured porous domain
Challenges to Alternative Fuel Vehicle Usage in Trinidad
Authors: Dolcy Kohan , Townsend Trevor
Published: April 2022

The Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago has set itself some lofty targets in terms of reducing CO2 emissions from public transportation by 2030. Several initiatives have been launched since 2015 in order to fulfill these targets. One key strategy is the adoption of a higher percentage of alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) into the overall fleet of vehicles. This article reviews the history and implementation of the various AFV oriented policies and examines the effectiveness of these initiatives. The authors describe the current state of the motorised vehicle fleet in terms of fuel type and highlight where adoption levels have fallen short of the target. The percentage of AVFs per public transit mode ranges from about 2 to 20 percent, where the higher percent represents the CNG buses belonging to the Public Transport Service Corporation (PTSC). In Trinidad, the natural gas supply is already well-established, refuelling stations are in operation and up to 20 original equipment manufacturer CNG vehicles are available on the market, supplemented by the option of vehicle conversion. The opposite is true for electric vehicles. The article further identifies the four key issues affecting the improved adoption of AFVs namely: (i) Fuel Prices (ii) Availability of Alternative Fuels, (iii) Consumer Perception and Resistance, and (iv) Lack of Institutional Support. In addition to presenting the proposals by others for improvements to the local transportation system, the authors recommend six key actions that should be taken to achieve the targets set for 2021 and beyond.

Authors: Nyong'a Lucy Phelister , Mugo Judy W. , Suleiman Mbaruk A.
Published: April 2022

Purpose: The study aimed to assess the effect of the health seeking behaviour on glycemic control among type 2 diabetes mellitus female patients aged 35-60 years in Taveta sub-County Hospital.

Methodology: A descriptive cross sectional design was adopted and systematic random sampling technique used to select 135 study subjects comprising of T2DM female patients aged 35-60 years who are registered at Taveta sub-County hospital diabetes outpatient clinic. Quantitative data was collected from informed consenting T2DM female patients using researcher administered structured questionnaire for health seeking behaviour factors, and glycemic control. The fasting blood sugar readings obtained from the patients’ self blood sugar monitoring cards was used to establish glycemic control. Quantitative data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS) Version 22.

Findings: The odd of having a good glycemic control is 1.416 times higher for environment of the diabetes clinic room/area that is clean as compared to environment of the diabetes clinic room/area that is somewhat clean. The most used method to control glucose is the herbal remedies to manage diabetes.

Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The patients should attend to all scheduled clinic check-ups to get the health care personnel and nutritionists counsel the patients based on the progress assessment. The patients should moreover keep the progress communicated to the health officers when there are changes in their sugar levels. The monitoring of blood sugar should be done regularly. It is recommended for an increase in scope for creation of diabetic awareness and reach out to the patients and community.
The Church as A Pathway to National Rebirth in Nigeria: A Reflection on Matthew 5:13
Authors: Temitope Ogunlusi Clement , Opeyemi Aina Oluwatobi
Published: April 2022

The work studied how the Church could serve as a pathway to national rebirth with emphasis on Matt 5: 13-16. Using analytical and descriptive methods, the paper discussed the theological implications of the Church being salt and light in the context of Nigeria. The metaphorical parlance and symbolic understanding of these elements of light and salt both in the Biblical and social world is not only significant but instructive. For instance, salt is a sign of covenant while light is a sign of orderliness and progress. In other words, salt preserves while light is a guide and could also be a warning light. In the face of endemic corruption, bad leadership, lack of value for human life, materialism, greed, covetousness, worldly pleasure, instant glory through rituals among young people and the likes that are prevalent in contemporary Nigeria, one then wonders what impact Churches are making in the country. Jesus enjoined his followers to “let their light shine before others, so that they may see their good works and give glory to the father in heaven (Matt. 5:16). The work therefore emphasized areas where the Church in Nigeria can make appreciable impacts and further explained that even though our society is corrupt and full of abominable things, the Church must be the salt and the light. This it maintains could be achieved if she retained her distinctiveness, stand for and speak out the truth, protest against folly, deceit and wickedness. The paper recommended that the Church should rise to the challenge of Matt 5:13-16 in order to achieve a successful national rebirth.
Javno mnijenje i medijsko oblikovanje javnog mnijenja / Public Opinion and how Media Form it
Authors: Sefo Mustafa
Published: April 2022

In the past, the media played a significant role in allowing public opinion to express itself and become a public phenomenon, especially through radio and television. Nowadays, these relations are more complicated. The media have become more powerful and their role has become more important, including the Internet, while public opinion has made its presence and impact more visible, especially when it comes to polls. Relations and interactions have therefore become more complicated, even if more numerous, but they still hold the key to modern political communication where the three most important elements are political actors, the media, and public opinion. A general approach to the media and the Internet’s endless possibilities has allowed public opinion to be formed faster and easier, but at the same time, these are the factors that shape different features of public opinion, which vary from the regular ones. At the same time, these factors generate the expansion of public opinion in different directions and offer different possibilities for manipulation, propaganda, news distortion, free Internet access, and the expression of personal and subjective attitudes. These factors also pose a threat to maintaining the integrity of journalistic work, media ethics, and the free flow of authentic and objective news. The aforementioned factors leave colossal consequences on public opinion – its formation, growth, and expression. Increased individual and societal exposure to media content is a factor worth mentioning as well. The media and the public are interdependent - they complete each other and cannot operate or exist without each other.

Izazovi "nepotpunog zakonodavstva" / Challenges of "Incomplete Legislation"
Authors: Mehmedović Emir , Hadžić Mehmed
Published: April 2022

The employment status of police officers in BiH is regulated by the Law on Police Officers of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Labour Law in Institutions of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which the basic texts were adopted in 2004 with a number of amendments that followed in later years. In the context of the relationship between these two laws, the Law on Police Officers is a lex specialis in relation to the Labour Law in Institutions of BiH. Unlike the employment status of police officers of BiH, which is insufficiently but still regulated, the segment of social security of these officers, specifically social insurance, whose basic branches are pension and disability insurance, health insurance and unemployment insurance, is regulated exclusively at the entity level. Which legislation will apply in each case depends solely on the residence of the police officer. In exercising their health insurance rights, specifically the right to a salary, police officers exercise this right to varying degrees, and in certain cases with additional restrictions on exercising their rights depending on their place of residence and consequently the entity legislation applicable to them. Regarding to pension and disability insurance, which is largely harmonized at the entities level, there have been some dilemmas regarding the interpretation of the institute of retirement by some police authorities at the level of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Termination of the employement of police officers is related to the length of pensionable service. Two key questions are related to the institute of special seniority and interpretation of the institute of seniority insurance.

Nowadays companies have been facing arising modern world challenges, where rules employee's knowledge, high technology, digitalisation, expertise and innovation, what put demanding tasks for firms to invest more in talents' learning and development in order to master changes and sustain competitive advantage. The purpose of this study was to explore the influence of talented managers’ learning and development on their retention within the companies in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Methodology in this research article included an appropriate questionnaire on talents' training and education and talents' engagement, as the measure for talent retention. The results from this research showed that talented managers in Bosnia and Herzegovina attended mostly “on job trainings and educations through job instructions” and “external trainings through seminars”. Furthermore, it is discovered that talent training and education affect the factors of employee engagement, but it is not statistically significant for talent retention. The contribution of this study is in the first place to the existing theory on talents management, as well as to companies in developing countries to realise the importance of talents learning and development and the need for its customization to talents' uniqueness in order to increase talent retention.
Dolomitization Mechanism in the Chorgali Formation (Eocene), Pakistan: Evidences from Field observations, Petrography, Mineralogical and SEM analysis
Authors: KHAN Sajjad , RASHİD Mehboob Ur
Published: April 2022

The subject of dolomite formation has always put researchers in the challenge. In this study, the origin of the dolomites of the Chorgali Formation near Chorgali Pass was explored through field observation, petrographic characteristics, mineralogical and geochemical analysis. Analytical analyses used in the present studies include XRD, SEM-EDS, and stable isotopes studies. The dolomites were categorized into three major genetic types based on their textural and structural features showing their distinct origins. These dolomites are named fine crystalline dolomite (Df), medium crystalline dolomite (Dm), and coarse crystalline dolomite (Dc). The analytical approaches linked with field observations and petrographic examinations identified that; the first type of dolomites (i.e., Df) is related to the early stage of diagenesis and contain the presence of mineral dolomite (40%), gypsum (27%), quartz (17%) and albite (16%) and are low stochiometric low ordered in character as recognized by XRD results. The SEM-EDS analysis identified low Mg, Ca, O, Na, Si, and Fe concentrations. Further, the stable isotopes (δ18O) values for Df (i.e., -5.95 to -396‰V-PDB) are less depleted. Moreover, Dm and Dc revealed 100% mineral dolomite and are stochiometric ordered dolomites. High concentrations of Mg, Ca and O are observed in Dm and Dc respectively. Stable isotopes (δ18O) result in exhibiting highly depleted values for Dm (-7.947‰V-PDB) and Dc (-9.227 to -8.302‰V-PDB) showing its formation with the elevated temperature at depth. In addition, δ13C values of Df, Dm, and Dc lie in the range of the original marine signature of Eocene times.
Concepção educacional de um museu de ciências: um estudo de caso
Authors: Silva Osmar Henrique Moura , Eduardo Laburú Carlos , Camargo Sérgio
Published: April 2022

Reflexões que museus de ciências viabilizam sobre os modelos educacionais de seus programas e ações, utilizados conscientemente ou não, têm movido pesquisas em educação científica. Nessa linha de investigação, o objetivo deste estudo foi de caracterizar a concepção educacional por detrás de um pequeno museu de ciências de uma cidade do interior do Estado do Paraná-BR, analisando os meios de comunicação ali planejados, tanto entre visitantes e objetos de interação quanto entre visitantes e monitores. Levando em conta que na literatura há uma variedade de modelos de aprendizagem possíveis com distintas inspirações epistemológicas, elaborou-se um referencial teórico que abrangesse restritos contextos epistemológico-pedagógicos no estabelecimento dessa leitura das atividades museais desenvolvidas no setor, que se espera, inclusive, servir como uma orientação analítica às similares instituições de educação não formal que assim se identificarem. Em relação aos resultados, dois ambientes interativos do museu foram analisados separadamente. Em um deles predominou uma Abordagem Sociocultural com possibilidade de lições implícitas com algumas visões de inclinação epistemológica pós-positivista. No outro ambiente, além dessa leitura anterior que se permitiu igualmente realizar nas situações de interação entre monitor-visitante(s), houve uma leitura do Modelo Contextual de Aprendizagem em atividades interativas entre visitante(s)-objeto(s) de interação, que se mantiveram subtendidas influenciar pontos de vistas positivistas.

Published: April 2022

Kuzey Afrika’da kurulan büyük devletlerden biri olan Muvahhidler, Kuzey Afrika ve Endülüs’te 524/1130 - 668/1269 yılları arasında hüküm sürmüştür. Yıkılma sürecine girdi-ğinde, bu bölgedeki Hafsî, Merînî ve Abdülvâdî gibi kabileler devletin yönetimini ele geçirmeye teşebbüs etmişlerdir. Ancak Muvahhidler Devleti’nin yıkılışının ardından bu kabilelerin kurduğu devletler Kuzey Afrika’nın tamamına hâkim olamamıştır. Buna rağmen Muvahhidler Devleti’nin mirasçısı olmak isteyen bu devletler bazen savaş bazen de sulh ile birbirlerine kısmî üstünlük sağlamışlardır. Tarafların sulh ittifakları çoğunlukla karşılıklı evlilikler vesilesiyle olmuştur. Bahsi geçen üç devlet arasından Hafsî Devleti (625/1228-982/1574) Merînî (592/1196-869/1465) ve Abdülvâdî (Zeyyânî) (632/1235-957/1550) devletlerinin ikisiyle de bir dünürlük ilişkisi kurmuştur. Bundan dolayı makalede Hafsî Devleti merkezli olarak devletlerin birbiriyle irtibatlarının ele alındığı bir anlatım metodu kullanılmıştır. Zikredilen metotla çalışma Hafsî, Abdülvâdî ve Merînî devletleri arasında yapılan evliliklerin amaçlarına ve sonuçlarına odaklanmıştır. Bu makale devletlerin siyasî hedefler için evlilik kurumundan nasıl faydalandıklarına da bir örnek sunmaktadır.

Published: April 2022

The present article aims to investigate and evaluate the performances of DWDM (or Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexed) system under MIMO-FSO (or multiple input multiple output-free space optical) channel. However, the proposed system is configured and simulated in the worst-case meteorological conditions, and we base here on the variation of the attenuation coefficient. In this article, the proposed system is devoted to 90 users, every user exploits 30 Gbps. So, the total capacity of system is 90x30 Gbps. In addition, the use of MIMO technique in FSO channel ensures us the stability of the proposed system in the worst-case meteorological conditions and especially when the system exploits a high throughput. To assess the acceptable performance levels of the proposed system, it is necessary to use the following criteria: the minimum bit error rate (or BER) performance, the maximum quality factor (or Q-Factor) and the optical signal to noise ratio (or OSNR) performance. Finally, the proposed system in this paper provides a promising solution for 5G networks as back-up optical link.

In the latter case, people with certain ailments find themselves in a situation where their right to health care is restricted due to the risk of not finding the right treatment. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic is an obstacle to either continuing public health policies or trying to take the first concrete steps in this direction. However, the pandemic does not suspend the conditions that depend on palliative care, nor the identification of oncological conditions or their monitoring. Also, the possible lack of immunoglobulins in Romania draws the line between the right to health care and the right to life. The information found in this research aims to make citizens aware of the importance of taking great steps in these directions and the ways in which their rights are respected, under the conditions provided by the Romanian medical system.
"THE LACK OF TRANSPARENCY – THE PREMISE OF HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS IN PRISONS DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC"

Internationally, human rights law guarantees an universal right to the highest achievable and mandatory standard of health and obliges the governments to take measures to prevent threats to public health and to provide medical care to those who need it. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to rip through prisons across the world, and some excessive measures imposed by governments to prevent the spread of the disease have led to human rights violations. If one would take into account Romania’s persisting problems of overcrowding and poor hygiene conditions in prisons, it is required to highlight how the lack of transparency in public institutions has an the impact on the prison environment during the pandemic. The paper suggests that there is a link between the way the prison life is perceived and the lack of compliance of national measures with generally binding standards regarding human rights imposed internationally.

The surrounding hill ranges of the present day Manipur bordered to divide mainland India in the northwest and Myanmar in the southeast. It also lies almost in the halfway between the tri-junctions of India-Burma-China. As such, since the bygone eras, the valley and the surrounding hill ranges of Manipur naturally became an important station of migration and trade route between South Asia and South East Asia. Alongside, it also became a cradle of civilization for various remarkable groups of people who came in search of land for better living and glory. So, the history of Manipur is the story of amalgamation of varied cultures and societies and shaping of an unique cultural tradition for an integrated society. Archeological evidences proved that the land of the present day Manipur had experiences of Paleolithic, Neolithic, ancient and medieval cultures which have affinity with the Hoabinhian and are of non-Hindu origin. However, in the courses of amalgamation history of Manipur which started from 33 A.D., by the turns of the 19th A.D., Gaudiya Vaishnavism of the Hindu emerged as the main integrating force especially among the groups of people so amalgamated and known under one nomenclature: Meitei, the major community of Manipur. In this paper, we try to analyze from the historical point of view, to overview the emergence of the Gaudiya Vaishnavism of Hindu religion in Manipur as an undoubted force of cultural integration among the amalgamated Meiteis to oneness with uniquely shaped refined cultural traditions. For the purpose, the following brief factual accounts of history are taken for a logical conclusion on the topic of this paper.

Abstract. Dust particles larger than 20 µm in diameter (0.2 μm < D < 100 µm) have been regularly observed to remain airborne during long-range transport. In this work we extend the parameterization of mineral dust cycle in the GOCART-AFWA dust scheme of WRFV4.2.1, to include also such coarse and giant particles. The initial particle size distribution in our parameterization is based on observations over desert dust sources and the Stokes’ drag coefficient has also been updated to account for dust particles of all sizes (Re < 105). The new code is applied to simulate dust transport over Cape Verde during the August 2015 AER -D campaign. Model results are evaluated using both airborne dust measurements and the CALIPSO-LIVAS pure dust product. The results show that the modeled lifetimes of the coarser particles are shorter than those observed. Various processes are proposed to explain such inaccuracies, such as the electric field inside dust plumes and non-spherical aerodynamics. Additional sensitivity runs are performed by artificially reducing the settling velocities of the particles to compensate for such underrepresented processes in the model. Our simulations show that particles with diameters of 5–17 μm and 40–100 μm are better represented assuming 80 % reduction in settling velocity (UR80) while particles at the range 17–40 μm are better represented in the UR60 scenario. The overall statistical analysis shows that the UR80 experiment presents the closest agreement with the airborne in situ measurements both in Cape Verde and over the sources. The UR80 experiment improves also the vertical distribution of dust in the model, as compared to the CALIPSO-LIVAS pure dust product. Further research is requested in order to understand the physical processes behind the reduction of settling velocity.

Abstract. Atmospheric new particle formation (NPF) is a crucial
process driving aerosol number concentrations in the atmosphere; it can
significantly impact the evolution of atmospheric aerosol and cloud
processes. This study analyses at least 1 year of asynchronous particle
number size distributions from six different locations in India. We also
analyze the frequency of NPF and its contribution to cloud condensation
nuclei (CCN) concentrations. We found that the NPF frequency has a
considerable seasonal variability. At the measurement sites analyzed in this
study, NPF frequently occurs in March–May (pre-monsoon, about 21 % of the
days) and is the least common in October–November (post-monsoon, about 7 %
of the days). Considering the NPF events in all locations, the particle
formation rate (JSDS) varied by more than 2 orders of magnitude
(0.001–0.6 cm−3 s−1) and the growth rate between the smallest
detectable size and 25 nm (GRSDS-25 nm) by about 3 orders of
magnitude (0.2–17.2 nm h−1). We found that JSDS was higher by
nearly 1 order of magnitude during NPF events in urban areas than mountain
sites. GRSDS did not show a systematic difference. Our results showed
that NPF events could significantly modulate the shape of particle number
size distributions and CCN concentrations in India. The contribution of a
given NPF event to CCN concentrations was the highest in urban locations
(4.3 × 103 cm−3 per event and 1.2 × 103
cm−3 per event for 50 and 100 nm, respectively) as compared to
mountain background sites (2.7 × 103 cm−3 per event and
1.0 × 103 cm−3 per event, respectively). We emphasize that
the physical and chemical pathways responsible for NPF and factors that
control its contribution to CCN production require in situ field
observations using recent advances in aerosol and its precursor gaseous
measurement techniques.

Abstract. The number of cloud droplets formed at the cloud base depends on both the properties of aerosol particles and the updraft velocity of an air parcel at the cloud base.
As the spatial scale of updrafts is too small to be resolved in global atmospheric models, the updraft velocity is commonly parameterised based on the available turbulent kinetic energy.
Here we present alternative methods through parameterising updraft velocity based on high-resolution large-eddy simulation (LES) runs in the case of marine stratocumulus clouds.
First we use our simulations to assess the accuracy of a simple linear parameterisation where the updraft velocity depends only on cloud top radiative cooling.
In addition, we present two different machine learning methods (Gaussian process emulation and random forest) that account for different boundary layer conditions and cloud properties.
We conclude that both machine learning parameterisations reproduce the LES-based updraft velocities at about the same accuracy, while the simple approach employing radiative cooling only produces on average lower coefficient of determination and higher root mean square error values.
Finally, we apply these machine learning methods to find the key parameters affecting cloud base updraft velocities.
An Algorithm for Deriving the Topology of Below-ground Urban Stormwater Networks
Authors: Chegini Taher , Li Hong-Yi
Published: April 2022

Abstract. Below-ground Urban stormwater networks (BUSNs) are critical for removing excess rainfall from impervious areas and preventing or mitigating urban flooding. However, available BUSN data are sparse, preventing modeling and analyzing urban hydrologic processes at regional and larger scales. We thus propose a novel algorithm for estimating BUSNs from existing, extensively available land surface data such as street network, topography, land use/land cover, etc. The rationale underpinning this algorithm are the causal relationships between the topology of BUSNs and urban surface features that we derive based on the Graph theory concepts. We implement this algorithm using web services for data retrieval and high-performance computing techniques for big-data analyses. Lastly, we validate this algorithm at a small portion of Los Angeles and Seattle, and the metropolitan areas of Houston and Baltimore in the U.S., where real BUSN data are available to the public. Results show that our algorithm can effectively capture 60–75 % of the topology of real BUSN data, depending on the supporting data quality. This algorithm has promising potential to support large-scale urban hydrologic modeling and future urban drainage system planning.

Abstract. A reinvestigation of the type angastonite specimen from the Penrice marble quarry, South Australia, shows that the published powder X-ray diffraction pattern for the mineral corresponds to a mixture of crystalline phases plus an amorphous phase. The published formula for the mineral, CaMgAl2(PO4)2(OH)4⋅7H2O, has been found to correspond to the amorphous phase. A proposal for the redefinition of angastonite as an amorphous phase has been approved by the IMA CNMNC. Amorphous angastonite is isotropic with an index of refraction in the range 1.33 to 1.40 and a measured density of 1.57(2) g cm−3. It is formed from incongruent leaching of minyulite in circulating Mg- and Ca-bearing solutions. The amorphous phase undergoes local recrystallisation to form penriceite and two other new crandallite-derivative layer phases. A cluster model for the local structure in the amorphous mineral is proposed based on crandallite-type segments. A brief review of amorphous minerals is given.
