Choosing an economics principles textbook: a perspective on the CORE project
Authors: Crosby Paul , Orsmond David
Published: January 2024

This article discusses recent changes in the teaching of economics principles at universities, focused on the CORE project’s textbook, The Economy, which was developed in response to the Global Financial Crisis. The textbook aims to transform economics education to focus more on market disequilibria and power relationships than is typically the case in other first-year textbooks, and to cover in more detail issues of most interest to students such as climate change, inequality and the future of work. The article presents three key criteria for assessing a first-year undergraduate economics textbook and evaluates the CORE textbook against those criteria. This evaluation is also based on our experience teaching economics using CORE to a large and diverse cohort of students. We suggest that while CORE’s strength lies in the historical narrative approach and the relevance of its topics that can appeal to students’ interests, using the textbook to teach to large cohorts of students, especially students for whom this is their only exposure to economics, can be challenging. Despite these challenges, the CORE project has already fundamentally achieved its main goal of changing the way economics is taught. In recent years, other introductory economics textbooks have followed CORE’s lead, incorporating more real-world examples and discussion to illustrate economic concepts and theories.

Evolution of liability for non-adjusting of the insurance contract to client’s demands and needs

The Act of 15 December 2017 on Insurance Distribution implementing the IDD Directive introduced the distributor’s obligation to adjust the insurance contract to the client’s demands and needs. Although such an obligation was not expressed by any law before, the courts tried to trace it from existing provisions on insurance contracts. Surprisingly the current judicature does not refer to the new provisions of The Act on Insurance Distribution searching for the means of client protection in earlier existing regulations in particular in rules providing for liability of the insurer for activities of his agent. While agreeing with the thesis that the changes made were of an evolutionary rather than revolutionary nature, the author expresses surprise at the law practitioners’ fail to recognize the importance of article 8 of the Law on Insurance Distribution. In his opinion, expressing new duty establishes contract liability and facilitates proving the unlawfulness as the prerequisite of the liability of the distributor for the loss resulting from the conclusion of the insurance contract unfavourable for the client.

Liability for damages in connection with the introduction of the Clean Transport Zone

The subject of the article is to assess the admissibility of compensation for any damage arising from the introduction of a Clean Transport Zone (SCT). This new legal instrument for environmental protection granted to municipalities aims to protect air and human health. The article indicates how to introduce regulations determining the zone area. The introduction of the zone is a lawful activity, so any liability relates to the legal activities of public authorities, analyzing the possible grounds for this responsibility in principle. Based on the observations made, it was indicated whether the commune or State Treasury would be liable for civil law for any damage suffered by entities in connection with the introduction of the clean transport zone.

Animal adoption contracts

The article aims to discuss the purpose, subject matter and content of animal adoption contracts that are present in circulation. The considerations are inspired by the analysis of the practice of circulation and case law on the issue of animal adoption contracts, against which the article raises some criticism. The Author differentiates within the framework of the article between contracts under which ownership of the animal is granted to the adopter, and contracts that grant the guardian rights and obligations of a relative nature that make up the so-called adoption obligation. Both types of adoption contracts should be considered unnamed contracts permissible under the principle of the freedom of contract, but the possibility of applying legal norms to them per analogiam is different. However, it is important to make the general assumption that when considering analogy, priority should be granted to analogy from those norms that relate to legal relations that allow the use of a property for oneself and in one’s interest. Among the principal theses of the article the thesis on the permissibility of the adopter’s acquisition of ownership of an animal abandoned under the procedure outlined in Articles 180-181 of the Polish Civil Code, which is sometimes disputed in the doctrine, should also be included.

Deprivation of a general partnership partner’s right to represent the partnership and to manage its affairs by way of legal proceedings: selected issues

Issues related to depriving a partner of a general partnership of the right to represent the partnership and conduct its affairs by way of legal proceedings raise many doubts in the literature. The purpose of this article is to attempt to resolve these doubts and to indicate the proper way of interpreting Articles 30 § 2 and 47 of the Polish Com-mercial Companies Code. The possibility to bring an action before a court based on the indicated provisions has been recognized as a corporate right vested in every partner. The exercise of this right aims at shaping the legal relationship between partners. Since a judgment in this type of case affects all partners, all of them should be par-ties to the court proceedings. On the other hand, the partnership itself is not entitled to bring an action under Articles 30 § 2 and 47 of the Polish Commercial Companies Code, as the partnership cannot shape its organiza-tional structure on its own.

New regulations for securing claims in intellectual property cases (effective July 1, 2023)

The article presents and discusses the provisions of collateral proceedings effective July 1, 2023, on securing claims in intellectual property cases. The reasons prompting the legislator to introduce special regulations are indicated, in particular the high risk of causing damage to the debtor that can be difficult to rectify, if the secured injunction claim turns out to be unfounded. The new regulations aim to mitigate the indicated risk via a directive ordering that the likelihood of invalidation of the exclusive right in other pending proceedings be taken into ac-count (Article 7301 § 11 of the Polish Code of Civil Procedure), imposing an information obligation on the claim-ant (Article 736 § 5 of the Polish Code of Civil Procedure), introducing an adversarial element into the securing proceedings (hearing of the debtor – Article 755 § 22 of the Polish Code of Civil Procedure), and depriving the protection of the claimant who filed the security application too late.
Dynamics of Contested Sanctity in Mosques: A Historical Perspective
Authors: Said Imam Ghazali , Maram Ahmad Nabilul , Imam Mohammad Fuyudun Niam
Published: January 2024

Mosques are symbols of peace and pluralism. However, some mosques are built over pre-Islamic places of worship or are considered sacred by non-Muslims. This has the potential to trigger interfaith tensions and conflicts. This article argues that mosques should be spaces and symbols of peace, religious tolerance, and multiculturalism. The study uses direct observation and compares textual and material evidence related to several large mosques in different countries. It concludes that mosque construction should consider historical and interfaith sensitivities, uphold the sanctity of places of worship, and avoid all forms of heresy. Mosque architecture and buildings can be a mirror of harmony and pluralism. Mosques are aesthetically adaptive and accommodate local wisdom, culture, and religious traditions. Historically controversial mosques cannot be justified and imitated as Islamic mosques in general. Mosque construction must prioritise peaceful views and rational spiritual understanding to maintain harmony and pluralism.
O Desafio ao Paradigma do Exercício e sua Compatibilização com as Práticas Escolares por Professores que Ensinam Matemática
Authors: Da Cruz Neves Silva Neto João , Cerqueira Barbosa Jonei
Published: January 2024

Este estudo objetiva compreender como os professores de matemática da Educação Básica compatibilizam o desafio ao paradigma do exercício com a prática pedagógica escolar em termos de aprendizagem docente, à luz dos estudos de Lave e Wenger (1991) e das discussões no campo da Educação Matemática Crítica. Para tanto, utilizamos de uma abordagem qualitativa. Os dados foram produzidos por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com seis professores de matemática. A análise sugere que os professores compatibilizam os modos pelos quais se afastam do ensino tradicional com a prática pedagógica escolar, sobretudo, a partir da assunção de uma postura de experimentação, que lhes permite superar limitações, valer-se de oportunidades e transformar adversidades do contexto escolar em circunstâncias favoráveis ao desafio do paradigma do exercício. Por fim, o estudo evidencia a relevância de uma formação docente mais atenta à prática pedagógica escolar e que incentive a postura de experimentação dos professores.

The Cox-Ross-Rubinstein binomial tree model is widely used in stock and derivative securities calculations, such as options calculations. The binomial CRR model assumes that the parameter increases in option prices and decreases in option prices so this model produces stock price movements up and down stock price movement. However, stock price movements show price fluctuations and cause the volatility of the value to be unsuitable. In this study, modeling stock and option price movements using a fuzzy binomial tree model. The data used was data on the movement of the stock price of Nippon Indosari Corpindo Ltd Plc from February 2021 to January 2022. The results showed that for February 2022, with a risk size of 90%, the selling price options with the greatest volatility of 51.6484081, medium volatility of 33.33154354, and the smallest volatility of 28.17155892.
Bayes Estimator for Dagum Distribution Parameters Using Non-Informative Prior Rules with K-Loss Function and Entropy Loss Function
Authors: Asti Ralita Sari  , Sirait Haposan
Published: January 2024

The parameter estimator discussed is the p parameter estimator of the Dagum distribution with the K-loss function and the entropy loss function using the Bayes method. To get the Bayes estimator from the scale parameter of the Dagum distribution, the Jeffrey non-informative prior distribution is used based on the maximum likelihood function and the loss function for the K-loss function and the entropy loss function to obtain an efficient estimator. Determination of the best estimator is done by comparing the variance values generated from each estimator. An estimator that uses the entropy loss function is the best method for estimating the parameters of the Dagum distribution of the data population with efficient conditions met.

Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar a produção científica stricto sensu sobre a mulher negra no Brasil, analisando, especialmente, a relação interseccional que permeia a existência dessas agentes: seu enfrentamento às questões de gênero, raça e classe. Buscou-se identificar como a temática é abordada nas instituições de ensino superior e as características associadas a sua produção: quais aspectos estão sendo discutidos acerca das mulheres negras, onde está sendo feita essa discussão e de que maneira. A pesquisa se desenvolve através uma amostra de 2.723 trabalhos de pós-graduação, coletados a partir de quatro indicadores: mulher negra, racismo, racismo estrutural e decolonialidade. O período analisado decorre do espaço de cinco anos, de 2017 a 2021. A partir dos dados e das análises desenvolvidas, foi possível observar que os estados que mais produzem acerca das categorias são Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo e Bahia; dentre as universidades, a UFBA, o CEFET-RJ, a USP e a UFMG ganham destaque. A análise de conteúdo demonstrou que a maior parte das produções compartilhava de um caráter qualitativo e abordavam, usualmente, categorias como raça, gênero, violência, educação e saúde. Além disso, identificou-se que certos fenômenos identitários, ligados, especialmente, à identidade dos pesquisadores, podem exercer influência nas investigações científicas produzidas por eles. Por fim, concluiu-se que as pesquisas sobre as mulheres negras, apesar de representarem 41% dos trabalhos analisados, dependem de uma longa caminhada para atingirem a visibilidade necessária, começando pelo ingresso e permanência dessas mulheres no ambiente universitário.
Expansão urbana desordenada em São Luís – MA: uma análise sobre o bairro Cruzeiro de Santa Bárbara
Authors: Moreira Débora da Silva , Petrus Julia Katia Borgneth
Published: January 2024

A urbanização nas cidades brasileiras aconteceu de forma muito intensa e rápida no século XX, em especial na década de 1970, época em que o Brasil se tornou um país urbanizado, ou seja, mais pessoas vivendo nas cidades do que no campo. As cidades começaram a receber grandes contingentes de pessoas, passando a apresentar vários problemas, tais como déficit de moradias, falta de saneamento básico, carência de infraestrutura, enfim, nenhuma organização do espaço. Em São Luís, não foi diferente. Portanto, este trabalho, além de estudar um pouco sobre a cidade de São Luís, também focou no bairro periférico da ilha, o bairro Cruzeiro de Santa Bárbara, onde existe um grande desencadeamento de vilas, que são ocupações de terrenos que não estavam em uso, sendo ele público ou privado. Tal fenômeno urbano é cada vez mais recorrente no bairro, pois é na apropriação e resistência do espaço na cidade que as periferias avançam, pois todos procuram um lugar para morar. O objetivo deste estudo é compreender o bairro Cruzeiro de Santa Bárbara, em São Luís, no estado do Maranhão, mediante uma análise relevante no âmbito da segregação socioespacial, para isso foi elaborada uma análise significativa de cunho quanti-ualitativo.

The Trust Of Madurese Ethnic Muslims in Preventing Covid-19 Through Sya’ir Burdah: A Dimension Of Sufism in West Kalimantan
Authors: Sahri
Published: January 2024

AbstractStudies on Madurese ethnicity in West Kalimantan began to be carried out by many academics in the aftermath of ethnic conflicts. However, there are still few who elaborate on Madurese ethnicity related to culture in West Kalimantan. In fact, the cultural richness and traditions of the Madurese ethnicity have a close relationship with Muslim cultures originating from other ethnicities. This is a social capital for strengthening solidarity and togetherness between ethnicities in West Kalimantan. This study highlights the religious traditions of the Madurese ethnic Muslim community during the COVID-19 period through the recitation of Burdah poetry, which aims to ask for safety, health, and avoiding poverty. This study also found that the Madurese ethnic Muslim community in West Kalimantan has dimensions of Sufism values in the reading of Burdah poetry such as Ikhlas, Taubat, Nur Muhammad, Mahhabba, Khauf, and Raja’. Thus, this paper elaborates on Madurese ethnic traditions and dimensions of Sufism in the Madurese ethnic Muslim community in Simpang Empat Wajok, which is currently included in the administrative area of Mempawah Regency, West Kalimantan Province.

Keywords: Muslim Community, Syair Burdah, Dimension of Sufism, West Kalimantan

 

Abstrak

Kajian tentang etnis Madura di Kalimantan Barat mulai banyak dilakukan oleh para akademisi ketika pasca terjadinya konflik etnis. Tetapi, masih sedikit yang mengelaborasi etnis Madura berkaitan dengan kebudayaan di Kalimantan barat. Padahal, kekayaan budaya dan tradisi etnis Madura mempunyai hubungan erat dengan budaya Muslim yang berasal dari etnis lain. Hal ini merupakan modal sosial dalam memperkuat solidaritas dan kebersamaan antar etnis di Kalimantan Barat. Studi ini menyoroti tradisi keberagamaan masyarakat Muslim etnis Madura selama masa Covid-19 melalui pembacaan syair Burdah yang bertujuan untuk meminta keselamatan, kesehatan, dan terhindar dari kemiskinan. Kajian ini juga menemukan bahwa masyarakat Muslim etnis Madura di Kalimantan Barat terdapat dimensi nilai-nilai tasawuf dalam pembacaan syair Burdah seperti, Ikhlas, Taubat, Nur Muhammad, Mahhabba, Khauf dan Raja`. Demikian tulisan ini mengelaborasi dalam tradisi etnis Madura dan dimensi tasawuf dalam masyarakat Muslim etnis Madura di Simpang Empat Wajok yang saat ini masuk dalam wilayah administrative Kabupaten Mempawah Provinsi Kalimantan Barat.

Published: January 2024

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) based anger management psychoeducation program on the anger management skills of high school students. While the independent variable of the study is the anger management psychoeducation program based on CBT, the dependent variable is the trait anger level, anger inside, anger outside, and anger control scores determined by the Trait Anger-Anger Expression Style Scale of the adolescents. The sample of the study consists of 10th and 11th grade volunteer students studying at Ahlat Selçuklu Anatolian High School. In this study, which consists of experimental and control groups an experimental design was used; pre-test, post-test, and follow-up tests were applied. Among the volunteer students, 10 participants were randomly assigned to the experimental group and 10 participants to the control group. While the program developed by the researcher was applied to the experimental group for seven weeks, no application was made to the control group. While collecting the data of the study, the “Trait Anger-Anger Style Scale” was used. Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the pretest and posttest scores of the experimental and control groups, and Wilcoxon Singed to compare the pretest and posttest, the posttest and follow-up test of the experimental group, and the pretest and posttest of the control group, and the posttest and follow-up test. Ranks test was used. Analysis of the research was carried out using the IBM SPSS 22.0 package program. As a result of the study, it was observed that there was a significant difference in the levels of trait anger, anger inside, anger outside, anger control levels of the participants in the experimental group, which are sub-dimensions of STAS. In the control group, there was no significant difference in any of the sub-dimensions. It can be said that the developed program has a positive effect. The findings were examined within the scope of the literature and it is thought that it will contribute to the literature by presenting practical suggestions in the study.

‘THEY ARE MY FRIENDS!’ FINDINGS FROM AN ETHNOGRAPHIC STUDY ON YOUNG CHILDREN’S EXPERIENCES OF NURSERY PLAY AND LEARNING
Authors: Stamatoglou Maria
Published: January 2024

Young children’s nursery play has been the focus of attention for years now focusing on the relationship between play and learning as well as the role of play in children’s overall development. In previous years most ‘play studies’ were concentrated on observing, recording, and analysing young children’s play from the adult’s perspective. However, recent studies aim to give young children voice and ownership on their play and learning experiences. In this respect, this paper is based on a small-scale ethnographic study and seeks to address the need for young children’s voices to be heard with regard to their nursery play experiences. A variety of audiovisual research methods (video camera, tape recorder, and still photographs) were employed for the collection and analysis of the data. The thematic analysis of the data suggests that young children’s play dialogues and comments on their nursery play can provide practitioners and other significant adults with rich and valuable insights into their views on play and learning within the early years’ settings. The themes that emerged included children’s experiences of play in terms of ownership, negotiation, learning, and preferences among others. In this respect, it is highlighted that young children’s voices added to the perspectives of their significant adults can help us form a complete picture of nursery play and learning with implications for the implementation of the early childhood curriculum.

INVESTIGATION OF STUDIES ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE RELATED TURKEY WITH BIBLIOMETRIC METHOD AND SYSTEMATIC ANALYSIS: A LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: YENİSU Ersin , TÜRKOĞLU Diler , YENİCE Sedat
Published: January 2024

Corporate governance is a tool that can be used to manage organizations more effectively and more transparently. Since the beginning of the 21st century, the importance given to corporate governance principles has increased both in the world and in Turkey. As a matter of fact, the academic literature in this field has shown an interesting development as the application has spread to a wide area. In other words, the subject of corporate governance has become increasingly common in business/management literature in recent years. In this study, 245 Turkey-related articles on corporate governance, accessed through the Web of Science database, were examined. Descriptive analysis, bibliometric analysis and systematic (thematic) analysis were used as methods, respectively. Using these three methods, literature gaps and researcher trends in this field were tried to be identified. In this regard, firstly, in the descriptive analysis, it was seen that there were not enough publications in the fields of "ethics" and "law" in Turkey-related publications. Again, it has been concluded that the number of studies on corporate governance is increasing rapidly both in Turkey and around the world. Again, within the framework of bibliometric analysis, in the visualization made with the VOSviewer program, it was found that articles related to corporate governance were especially related to the subject of "financial performance". In the study, within the framework of thematic analysis, six themes were determined and each theme was evaluated and six literature gaps were identified. In this context, it has been stated that in addition to specifically explaining the research gaps that can contribute to the literature, attention should be paid to the citation performance of possible qualitative or conceptual studies as a general evaluation.

Hamas, Yom Kippur Savaşı’nın 50. yıl dönümünde İsrail’e yönelik Aksa Tufanı Operasyonu’nu başlatmıştır. Bu operasyonu daha öncekilerden farklı kılan, militanların İsrail topraklarına sızarak çok sayıda askerî üs ve yerleşim yerini hedef almış olmalarıdır. Saldırının ilk saatlerinde yaşanan kaos durumundan çıkılmasıyla harekete geçen İsrail, önce savaş hali ilan etmiş, ardından da Demir Kılıç Operasyonu’nu başlattığını duyurmuştur. Bu kapsamda, ilk safhada İsrail Savunma Kuvvetleri’nin; kara, deniz ve hava ateş destek vasıtalarıyla Gazze Şeridi’ni yoğun bombardıman altına almasına, müteakiben de manevra birlikleriyle üç ilerleme mihveri üzerinde bölgeye girmesine tanık olunmuştur. Mevcut durumda harekâtın sıklet merkezi Gazze Vadisi’nin kuzeyidir. İlerleyen süreçte kara birliklerinin Gazze Şeridi’nin güneyine de tevcih edilmesi ihtimal dahilindedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı İsrail-Hamas Savaşı’nın askerî-teknik düzlemde incelenmesi ve buradan hareketle modern muharebe ortamına, özellikle de meskûn mahal harekâtına dair tespitlerde bulunulmasıdır. Gazze’deki silahlı çatışmalar sona ermeden hazırlanan çalışma, esasen 24 Kasım 2023’te yürürlüğe giren geçici ateşkese kadar geçen sürece ilişkin ilk gözlemleri ihtiva etmektedir.
Vaccination Refusal During Pandemic Period
Authors: Özdemir Serdar
Published: January 2024

Identifying the causes of vaccination refusal is important in determining strategies to combat them. In a study examining the refusal of COVID-19 vaccines based on the 3C model of vaccine rejection, formed by the World Health Organization's vaccine rejection working group (SAGE) in Malaysia, the most common reason for vaccine rejection was found to be doubt on the efficacy and safety of the vaccine. In the model defined by SAGE as the 3C, three cs are defined as confidence (confidence in the vaccine), complacency (necessity of the vaccine), convenience (suitability for the vaccine, access to the vaccine). In the same study, misinformation was shown as an important reason for vaccination refusal

Religion has become an issue that not only affects domestic politics but also international security and world peace. There is a debate among scholars on how to interpret this resurgence of religious identity in international politics. There are scholars who regard the resurgence of religion as the reflection of the undeniable importance of religion to human beings who find meaning in life through religion. On the other hand, this phenomenon can be understood as a manifestation of the importance that identity politics, based on factors like race, religion and ethnicity has gained in international politics in the global age. There are interpretations that emphasize that the resurgence of identities in the global age is a result of the competition for power and resources. This has important implications for understanding the principles which can be used to resolve the conflicts associated with the resurgence of religion internationally as well as at the domestic level. Hence, this paper reviews some of these arguments and attempts to probe the factors behind the resurgence of identity politics across the globe in the post-cold war era. The paper also tries to understand the ways of conflict transformation, thereby emphasizing the role of peace education in the process.

Cancer, a genetic disease, is one of the leading causes of death all over the world. Many plants have been reported as being useful in its management, as chemotherapy destroys the normal cells along with cancer cells. Alternative safer therapies such as herbal therapies are becoming increasingly more popular. This research determined the anti- neoplastic effect of avocado (Persea americana) and sesame (Sesame indicum) seeds on 7, 12- dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced neoplasm in albino rats. Standard methods were used to determine the phytochemical constituents, proximate and mineral composition of avocado and sesame seeds. Biochemical, haematological and histological studies were also carried out. Thirty albino rats divided into five groups of six each were used for the study. Result showed that tannins and flavonoids were present in both avocado and sesame seeds; whereas saponins were only detected in avocado. The protein content was higher in sesame (17.64%) than in avocado (1.47%). Mineral analysis showed the presence of potassium, sodium, calcium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium and zinc in both seeds. The total red blood cells of the animals ranged from 6.64 x1012/L to 8.92 x1012/L. The lymphocyte for control group, and groups 1, 2, 3 and 4 were 65%, 76%, 73%, 62% and 95% respectively. The amount of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was highest in group 4 (1352 μ/L) and least in group 3 (230 μ/L). There was no necrosis in the liver, skin, voice cord and mammary gland, except the mucosal gland of the colon of the neoplastic rats that showed some levels of tissue damage. A proof that organ injuries might not have occurred were evident in Alanine Transaminase (ALT) and Aspartate Transaminase (AST) levels which were not significantly different between the treated and the control groups. It can be concluded from this study that avocado and sesame seeds exert significant anti-neoplastic properties in rats
