The Role of Autodidactic Processes in the Artistic and Creative Self-Development of Students-Musicians
Authors: Frolova Natalia A.
Published: December 2019

The Central task of modern professional education is the formation of students’ readiness for self-education, self-development. Autodidactic processes are of direct relevance to the solution of this problem, which, acting as the basis for independent educational and cognitive activity, help students overcome the difficulties of self-development, contribute to the activation of creative potential (“self” processes), and allow them to become the subject of their own development. The article reveals the nature of musical art, which opens up opportunities for the development of semantic aspects of reality from the standpoint of creativity and continuous self-development; highlights the structure of artistic and creative self-development, which includes three levels – professional and value self-determination; artistic and creative self-perfection; artistic and creative self-actualization; the basic strategy of artistic and creative self-development of students-musicians, which is a harmonious combination of adaptive (conformal) and non-adaptive (creative) types of activity with a gradual predominance of creative activity. Special attention is paid to the components of artistic and creative self-development, which, representing the facets of one process, complement and enrich each other.
The Progression of Vegetation Indices: a Short Overview
Authors: Solymosi Kristóf , Kövér György , Romvári Róbert
Published: December 2019

Vegetation indices computed from remote sensing data became key components of agricultural monitoring and assessment. With the help of these indices, the difference of vegetational and other land covers can be contrasted and many useful and applicable data can be gathered ranging from vegetation health to growth dynamics among others. In recent decades, starting from the first Landsat satellite, a huge number of VIs were developed in order to be able to effectively monitor vegetation – the reason for the immense number is due to the fact that every sensor, topographic, geographic, vegetative and atmospheric feature is different, and more so are their combinations. This is the reason why there is no unified spectral band mathematical formula. The aim of this short overview is to provide the reader insight of the main vegetation indices (VIs) that have been used in scientific literature and their development over the last 40 years

Published: December 2019

The rumen and its microbial ecosystem play a central role in the overall nutrition and health of ruminant animals. However, development and homeostatic state of the entire gut system is influenced by different interrelated factors. Recent developments in molecular diagnostic tools by using amplicon sequencing of 16S ribosomal RNA and use of high-throughput data generated through applications of pyrosequencing is a promising approach to defining the rumen microbial genome. Several procedures such as genome-wide shotgun sequencing for metagenomic data generation to predict how the rumen microbiota works, bacterial DNA integration in order to construct or edit genomes of isolated microbes and several other “omic”-based technologies based on PCR and real-time PCR (qPCR), have elucidated the complexity of the rumen microbiota. These tools are more sensitive and precise in quantitation, identification and functional characterisation of the entire rumen microbiome. PCR/qPCR enables investigations of changes in the microbiome and microbiota with respect to age, diet, species and environmental variations thus providing new information about rumen microbial genome. In this review, we will highlight recent findings using PCR and qPCR-based procedures in investigating the complex nature of the rumen microbial population which has advanced our knowledge and understanding of the rumen microbiome.

On Approaches to Assessing Contribution of Russian Universities in the Implementation of National Projects
Authors: Arzhanova I. V. , Shiryaev M. V. , Mityakov S. N.
Published: December 2019

The article provides a brief review of the literature related to the analysis of approachesto assessing the effectiveness of the universities of the country. The authors propose to consider the universities as key performers of strategic decisions at various hierarchical levels. Each of the strategic planning documents includes indicator systems and their target values in dynamics over the years. Monitoring of these indicators allows us to determine the effectiveness of the implementation of the strategic planning documents as a whole. The methodology given in the article for assessing effectiveness of the universities is directly or indirectly related to target indicators laid down in the strategic planning documents. This enables to evaluate the contribution of the universities to the development of socio-economic systems at various levels: industries, regions and the country as a whole. As an example, the approach to the development of the system of indicators is considered, which makes it possible to evaluate the contribution of the universities to the implementation of national projects. In the initial (pilot) version the system included 30 indicators directly related to national projects “Education”, “Science”, “Digital Economics” and a number of others. The article presents the results of testing of the developed methodology and the system of indicators at a number of the flagship universities of the Volga Federal District.

Authors: Molefe L. E. , Oyekale A. S.
Published: December 2019

Food safety is an important issue in the whole processes of food utilization and appropriate labelling is very fundamental in guiding consumers’ decisions. This research was carried out to determine perception of consumers on usefulness of food labels, analyse the factors influencing their perception and determine the factors influencing utilization food labels in their food purchasing decisions. The respondents were randomly sampled and interviewed with structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed with Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression and Probit regression model. Majority of the respondents (56%) were older than 23 years and female (65%). Also, many of the respondents were checking for labels on vegetable oil (54%), eggs (48%), milk (56%) and bread (70%). Majority of the respondents were interested in the expiry dates of vegetable oil (66%), eggs (83%), milk (85%) and bread (86%). Time constraint (32%) and uncertainty about the accuracy of the information (33%) were highlighted as constraints to food label utilization. Perception of importance of food labels was influenced significantly (p<0.01) by label desirability for bread and income. Also, utilization of food labels during food purchases was influenced by being married and household income. It was concluded that consumers were aware of food labels and some efforts were being put into utilization of those labels in their food purchase decisions. .Efforts to promote food safety through utilization of labels should be directed at poor households and those consumers that have not married.

Published: December 2019

Concrete is one of the reliable, durable, economical and acceptable construction materials among the building and construction stakeholders worldwide. Performance of concrete could be threatened especially reinforced concrete by some processes such as corrosion, sulfate attack among others. Corrosion of reinforcement in reinforced concrete can be induced by carbonation process. Even though carbonation initiates corrosion, it has been gathered that carbonation could still be of immense benefits to building and construction industries if its mechanism of operation is understudied. This research work has therefore investigated the effect of carbonation on some selected mechanical properties of concrete such as compressive strength, flexural strength, water absorption and weight changes. Concrete cubes and beams of M15 grade with 0.5 % water-cement ratio were prepared and subjected to accelerated carbonation. Their compressive strength, flexural strength, water absorption and weight changes were determined in accordance with the relevant standards. The outcomes show that carbonation improves all the mechanical properties investigated. The use of carbonation can be positively explored in reinforced concrete provided there is adequate nominal cover.

Authors: Gonzaga Nelda , Pepito Sarah Lyn , Octavio Renan , Gonzaga Apolinario , Rogers Gordon
Published: December 2019

Protected cultivation is not widely used in the Philippines, despite its known benefits, because of lack of uptake by farmers who have not seen the benefits demonstrated in their region. Furthermore, lettuce can be a difficult crop to grow in the Philippines, where heavy rains can damage the delicate leafy crop. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of different lettuce varieties when grown under protected structures that prevent rain entry. The study was laid out in split-plot arranged in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with cultivation system (protected cropping & open field) as the main plot while the lettuce variety (leafy-type & head-type) as the sub-plot, replicated three times. The protective structure enhanced crown size, increased yield and produced healthier plants with reduced incidence of disease. Leafy-type obtained the largest crown size and head-type was less affected by disease in the first cropping. The study suggested that protective structures can be an asset in the enhancement and sustainability of lettuce production in preventing further damage on crops due to excessive rainfall and wind but would not be profitable when use during warmer months.

Published: December 2019

Although there are new and innovative irrigation techniques available locally in Mindanao (Southern Philippines), growers still rely on the traditional method – manual irrigation. The study was conducted to determine the effects of irrigation method on the performance of lettuce and tomato. The study was laid out in factorial arrangement in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with different irrigation method (manual & drip) as treatments replicated three times. In tomato, drip irrigation produced larger fruits (polar & equatorial measurement), highest number of marketable fruits, and highest yield per hectare. While in lettuce, it resulted in larger crown size (polar measurement), highest marketable yield per plant and per hectare. The study suggests that drip irrigation could improve the present farming situation in Mindanao, considering its potential to sustain farming during times of climatic uncertainty. Thus, further trials are required to verify its effects before introduction throughout the region.

Published: December 2019

La atención prehospitalaria es cada vez más reconocida en todo el mundo como una parte fundamental en el sistema de salud, sin embargo, no se le da mucha importancia en cuanto al control de infecciones. Para evitar que las ambulancias sean un foco de trasmisión, se deben implementar protocolos de limpieza y desinfección para disminuir las cargas bacterianas, ya que las ambulancias cuentan con dispositivos médicos que están en contacto con el paciente, y si estos no reciben la limpieza adecuada, se convierten en alto riesgo de infección; además se debe tener en cuenta que no siempre hay la información clara de si el paciente puede tener algún tipo de enfermedad infectocontagiosa, o incluso los profesionales de la salud algunas veces pueden padecer algún tipo de patología o han estado expuestos a pacientes quienes son posibles portadores de microorganismos, y al momento de realizar el traslado de ellos, estos patógenos se pueden propagar, lo cual es un evento adverso que atenta contra la seguridad del paciente y el mismo equipo sanitario, ya que estas infecciones podrían llevar a estancias hospitalarias innecesarias, o incluso a la muerte. Son pocos los estudios que se han realizado sobre estos factores de riesgo que están presentes en el transporte asistencial, por lo tanto, se considera un reto mundial para combatir esta exposición biológica.

Published: December 2019

El presente documento establece una propuesta para tratar de determinar cuál es la importancia que tiene el E-commerce para el mejoramiento de la comercialización de productos en el sector confecciones de la ciudad de Pereira; teniendo como objetivo general analizar la relevancia que tiene el E-Commerce para el desarrollo comercial del sector confecciones de la ciudad de Pereira. Con el análisis de información de carácter primario y secundario, se podrá establecer si esta novedosa tendencia basada en las TIC, es una estrategia fundamental para que las empresas del mencionado sector mejoren sus resultados comerciales.

Luego del desarrollo de la investigación, se permite exponer que el E-commerce aprueba replantear los objetivos en la empresa con un claro direccionamiento estratégico, facilitando crear nuevos productos y mercados, diferentes canales de distribución, reducir el coste de las actividades empresariales y favorecer la apertura de nuevos mercados (Fernández, 2015). Cabe resaltar que el E-commerce está teniendo un papel importante en las empresas y es fundamental para la globalización, ya que tiene un alcance con los clientes a nivel mundial y no solamente local. La necesidad de llevar un mercado nacional al exterior, convirtió al comercio electrónico en una herramienta favorable para las empresas, obteniendo de esta forma un crecimiento para la comercialización; llevando a la constitución de entidades para promover, regular y controlar el comercio electrónico. En Colombia se constituyó la entidad CCCE Cámara Colombiana de Comercio Electrónico (Mazuera, 2012).

Las empresas que lo implementan logran tener ventajas competitivas frente al comercio tradicional; su inversión se basa en la creación de programas, redes y sistemas que permiten dar a conocer un bien y/o producto al mundo. Lo anterior reafirma la intención de la presente investigación, ya que ella proporciona a los empresarios del sector un conocimeinto más a fondo sobre los elementos que les puede brindar.

Published: December 2019

Introducción: el consumo de cannabis se presenta como una problemática de salud pública, la cual perjudica a toda la sociedad, pero en especial a los jóvenes que inician esta actividad desde temprana edad, dado que tienen una perspectiva del cannabis como una droga blanda; así mismo responde a una baja percepción de riesgo, fundamentada en creencias erróneas e influenciada por factores individuales, microsociales, macrosociales y variables demográficas. Las drogas no solo conllevan a una adicción, sino que, además, alteran las manifestaciones cognitivas de la conducta, incluyendo la memoria, la emoción, la atención y la toma de decisiones, con pérdida de control importante, de tal modo que genera un deterioro cognitivo significativo y posiblemente relacionado a un bajo desempeño académico.
Efectos del tape dinámico en la función dinámica y estática del tobillo en mujeres con características de pie pronador, Pereira 2019
Authors: Bustamante Betancourt Maricela , Peláez Duque Nathalia Alejandra , Gómez Rodas Alejandro
Published: December 2019

Introducción: diversos cambios biomecánicos ocurren al caminar y estar de pie. A lo largo de la zancada normal, el pie se mueve desde una posición pronada a una posición supinada, lo que permite amortiguar las fuerzas de reacción y adaptación al terreno. Diversas estrategias se han planteado y utilizado para brindar una mejoría de la pronación excesiva, la cual se ha relacionado con numerosos cambios funcionales de la extremidad inferior lo que resulta en lesiones por sobreuso. Se han desarrollado herramientas para evaluar el grado de pronación del pie incluida la prueba de caída navicular, los ángulos de rotación tibial y el índice de postura del pie. El mecanismo de acción del tapping se ha especificado en estudios anteriores; sin embargo recientemente, ha hecho su aparición un nuevo tipo de tape con capacidades de amortiguación elástica denominado tape dinámico. Por tal, motivo se hace necesario estudiar el efecto que el tape dinámico puede tener en la función estática y dinámica en mujeres con pie pronado.

Métodos: investigación de tipo explicativa de carácter cuasi experimental. Se vincularán 30 estudiantes universitarias entre los 18 y 26 años de edad con características de pie pronado asignando 15 estudiantes a un grupo al que se le aplicará tape dinámico con efecto antipronador y 15 estudiantes a los que se les aplicará tape dinámico sin tensión. Se analizarán pruebas funcionales del miembro inferior antes, inmediatamente después y a los tres días después de aplicado el tape. Se efectuará un análisis de diferencia de medias intra e intergrupos previa comprobación de la normalidad de los datos para determinar los efectos del tape dinámico en la funcionalidad dinámica y en la estática del tobillo.

Resultados esperados: el desempeño en la función dinámica y la estática del tobillo en mujeres universitarias con características de pie pronado mejora con el uso del tape dinámico.

The equivocation of codependency construct
Authors: Milushyna Maryna
Published: December 2019

The purpose of the articleis to learn about concept of codependency in professional works and the ambiguity of the term «codependency» owing to the connotation with the concept «dependency». Codependence as a relational problem that often, but not necessarily always, occurs in conjunction with addiction or disease. This theme highlights the fact that codependency is defined as a dysfunctional pattern of relating to others, present in relatives of those with different problems. Among them are people in relationships with irresponsible people and chronically ill people; people in relationships with emotionally or mentally disturbed persons; parents of children with behavior problems, professionals of helping professions (nurses, social workers and others). The researches have shown that various factors resulting from repeating stressful circumstances experienced in childhood or adulthood may contribute to this relation.It is characterized by emotional dependence, extreme focus in the other person, and self-neglect. The commoncharacteristics (self-esteem, dependency, depression and anxiety, anger, relationship difficulties, and stress-related physical symptomatology),types of codependency (aggressive and passive ones) and stages of it are presented in the article. Regardless of the reason why people become codependent, the negative effects brought about by this cannot be taken for granted. It is essential to know how to handle situations like this, as the inability to overcome and adapt to these problems and other changes may restrain the person from progressing both emotionally and psychologically. It is important that a codependent must gain knowledge on how to effectively get rid of distressful feelings and become bold in the expression of his emotions.Thus, being rejected by society and failing to adjust from predicaments have the ability to interfere individuals from moving forward in their life. These people have a very strong sense of responsibility towards others and even get to the point where they blame themselves for the sufferings of others. Their lives are dependent on that of others and their decisions are influenced by the judgment of others, but not their own opinions.
Сутність соціально-психологічної програми профілактики та корекції психосоматозів особистості

Published: December 2019

В статті розкрито сутність соціально-психологічної програми профілактики та корекції психосоматозів особистості. Встановлено зв’язок між наявністю психосоматичних розладів з низьким соціометричним статусом особистості та високим рівнем тривожності, низьким соціометричним статусом та неадекватною (заниженою або завищеною) самооцінкою, а також з рівнем розвитку соціального середовища групи. Виокремлено системоутворюючі соціально-психологічні чинники психосоматозів особистості та розроблена структурна модель їхньої диференціації, яка складається з внутрішніх (високий рівень тривожності та сенситивності, емоційна нерівновага; невпевненість, почуття неповноцінності та провини; підвищена ригідність й конформність; неузгодженість різних аспектів «Я» (цілісності, інтегрованості); неадекватна самооцінка; нестабільність психологічного базису автономності; низькі адаптивні можливості; зниження здібності до рольової взаємодії; вразливість у стресогенних ситуаціях; зниження гнучкості та мобільності соціальної поведінки) та зовнішніх (недостатня підтримка й прийняття, незадовільні емоційні стосунки, пов’язані із психологічним симбіозом «мати-дитина» з раннього онтогенезу; несприятлива сімейна обстановка, недостатня емоційна близькість з батьками, батьківська критика; психотравмуючі події (стресори); низький соціометричний статус («ізольовані», «відторгнуті»); несприятливий соціально-психологічний клімат групи) чинників.
Основними принципами побудови соціально-психологічної програми профілактики та корекції психосоматозів виступали: принцип системності, який полягав у тому, що процес профілактики та корекції психосоматичних розладів був спрямований не тільки на самих досліджуваних, але й такою ж мірою включав цілісну систему соціальних відносин, суб'єктами якої вони є, і насамперед найближче оточення; принцип перспективності, сутність якого полягала у створенні для досліджуваних позитивної картини майбутнього, що слугувало стимулом реконструкції особистості з психосоматичною дисфункцією відповідно до постійного оновлення їх життєвого контексту; принцип динамічності, згідно з яким вся процедура психопрофілактики та корекції психосоматичних розладів розглядалася як поетапний пролонгований процес, що передбачав раціональну послідовність заходів формувального впливу, моніторинг динаміки змін показників функціонування психосоматичних розладів; принцип диференційованого прогнозування, який полягав у визначенні змістовних і формальних аспектів соціально-психологічної програми профілактики та корекції відповідно до рівня розвитку соціального середовища групи та соціометричного статусу особистості.
Психологічні змістові особливості взаємозв’язку перфекціонізму та почуття самотності осіб юнацького віку
Authors: Кленіна Каріна
Published: December 2019

Розглянуто проблему впливу перфекціонізму на почуття самотності в осіб юнацького віку. Зазначено, що соціальні трансформації, всесвітня глобалізація, ускладнення сфер відносин, постійне підвищення вимог до ефективного функціонування особистості в суспільстві неминуче провокують масове формування і поширення таких психологічних явищ, як перфекціонізм та самотність. Людина ніяким чином не може бути застрахована від згубного впливу даних феноменів. Систематизовано підходи до розуміння понять «перфекціонізм», «почуття самотності».
Мета статті полягає у дослідженні психологічних особливостей впливу перфекціонізму на почуття самотності в осіб юнацького віку та встановлення взаємозв’язку між ними.
Методи: теоретичне аналізування, синтезування, систематизація та узагальнення наукових першоджерел, математичні методи обробки даних.
Результати: за допомогою лінійної кореляції К. Пірсона визначено, що перфекціонізм та почуття самотності взаємопов’язані феномени, їх чинники є взаємозумовленими. Встановлено, що для осіб юнацького віку більш характерним є перфекціонізм орієнтований на себе, що пов’язано з інтенсивним розвитком рефлексії. Зазначено, що самотність як нормальний стан обернено пропорційна таким складникам перфекціонізму, як проблеми з самооцінкою, жорсткий перфекціонізм та перфекціонізм орієнтований на себе. Види самотності, які межують з патологією мають позитивну кореляцію з соціально зумовленим перфекціонізмом, стурбованістю помилками, самокритикою та невпевненістю у власних діях.
Висновки: проаналізовано уявлення про самотність і перфекціонізм в психології та отримано результати емпіричного дослідження. Зроблено висновки, що дані феномени більшою мірою зумовлені прагненням уникнення невдачі та чутливістю до неприйняття оточення. Визначено, що прояв перфекціонізму та авторитарного виховання батьків сприяє розвитку перфекціонізму дітей.

Authors: Sarker Azmal Kabir , Nasreen Faria , Nisa Lutfun , Hussain Raihan
Published: December 2019

Objective: Gated SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging (GSMPI) is a preferred modality for non invasive assessment following coronary revascularization (CR) of both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. This study was conducted to observe the impact of GSMPI results on further management of patients who after CR had underwent GSMPI at National Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Allied Sciences (NINMAS).

Patients and methods: Record files of GSMPI of all patients who underwent GSMPI over a period of 31 months from June 2011 to December 2013 at NINMAS for assessment of perfusion after CR were selected from the Nuclear Cardiology Divisional archive of patient studies in order to retrieve their clinical and demographic data including the contact numbers. The results of GSMPI scan were categorized as normal scan (NS) and perfusion defect (PD) which included reversible and/or fixed PD. All the contact numbers were called up by a nuclear medicine physician who conducted a semi-structured telephonic interview either with the patients or with a concerned family member. Management strategies adopted after GSMPI were categorized as conservative (CM) and interventional (IM).Cramer’s V (φc) test were done to find strength of relation among patients’ symptoms, scan findings and management strategies.

Results: Follow up data of 55 patients (54M, 1F) among 68 (66M, 2F) were available who underwent MPI for the purpose of post CR assessment. MPI was performed in between six months to 13 years after CR (mean 43.8 ± 48.2 months). Categorically 33 patients had percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) with stent, 16 patients had coronary artery by-pass grafting (CABG) and 6 patients had both CABG & PTCA. There were 38PD (27symptomatic) and 17NS(12 symptomatic).Since all patients (n=12) who had fixed PD were symptomatic, a strong relation was found between being symptomatic and fixed perfusion defect (φc> 0.3). Symptoms were found to be weakly related with reversible PD i.e. ischemia (φc< 0.2). Management strategies were conservative in 44 (30 symptomatic and 28 PD) and interventional in 11 (nine symptomatic and 10 PD). Management strategies were found to be weakly related with symptoms (φc< 0.2) but moderately related with perfusion status (φc = 0.24).

Conclusions: While symptoms were observed to be poorly related with perfusion status following CR, GSMPI guided to choose further interventional management strategies with rationality in lower proportion of patients.

Individual concentrations of the most chemical elements in the hair were highly variable. Proportions of participants with low levels of elements in the body of the Caucasians significantly exceeded that in among the indigenous people. Conclusions. Ethnic variations in the hair microelement profiles were minor reflecting similarities in the structural profile of macro- and microelements. The difference in the concentration values from the reference values may be considered as a reflection of the characteristics of the genetically determined system of maintaining the balance of the body's element system in the indigenous peoples of the north and adaptation to extreme climatic and socio-ecological conditions in case of Caucasians living in this Arctic region for several generations.

The aim of the work is to develop a construct of the internal picture of the disease (IPD) in case of neurotic disorders (ND) as the main personality factor that determines the use of environmental resources and adherence to treatment under stressful conditions of the disease; based on the assessment of the structure and mechanisms of the IPD, the determination of the basic emotional, cognitive and behavioral components in connection with the tasks of optimization of medical and psychological rehabilitation. Methods. A multivariate cohort analytical observational study of 1,262 patients with ND was performed. Clinical, experimental-psychological and statistical methods were used. Results. Four main types of IPD were singled out: depressive somatocentric (DS), depressive psychocentric (DP), phobic somatocentric (FS) and phobic psychocentric (AF) with the prevalence of the latter (p = 0.036). Individuals with ND were more characterized by "depressed" types of IPD (p = 0.028), with anxiety-phobic disorders - "phobic" (p = 0.032), with dissociative, s a wide variation in the representation of IPD types: DP - 35.9 %, DS - 26, 0 %, AF - 25.0 %, FS - 13.1 % was observed. The disharmony of the interpersonal sphere in ND was shown: a clear prepotence to conflict and dominance (dominance factor V 1.17 ± 0.45) over the tendency to cooperate and subjection (benevolence factor G -0.10 ± 0.41). Regardless of the type of IPD in HP there was a mistuning of the concepts "I-real" and "I-ideal", which manifested in a low degree of self-acceptance and the presence of a conflict attitude to oneself. The peculiarity of self-esteem in patients with "depressed" types of IPD was expressed in emphasizing weakness in emotional experience and at the same time reflecting traits of confidence, independence, perseverance in self-ideal; with "phobic" - alertness and straightforwardness in relations with others. Conclusions: the developed concept of IPD in case of HP was an emotional-cognitive-behavioral construct of personality adaptation to a disease as the basis for a psychological strategy in therapy and medical-psychological rehabilitation aimed at increasing the level of psychological resource reserve of patients.

Published: December 2019

The aim of the study was to detect the relationship of intuitivity and prognostic competence (PC) in neurotic and somatoform disorders. The results of a survey of 197 patients with neurotic and somatoform disorders and 66 healthy subjects were compared. The experiment included patients with phobic anxiety disorders (F40-41), obsessive-compulsive disorder (F42), adjustment disorder (F43), somatoform disorders (F45). Methods. Clinical psychological and experimental psychological research methods were used. The PC test by V. D. Mendelevich, the assessment technique of intuitivity level by E. A. Naumenko, the scale "Faith in Intuition" from the questionnaire "Rational Experiential" by S. Epstein in adaptation by T. V. Kornilova and S. A. Kornilov, the questionnaire "Life Style Index" by R. Plutchik, G. Kellerman and G. Conte (adapted version by E. S. Romanova, L. R. Grebennikova) were used. Results. A comparison of subjects and healthy individuals revealed lower values of intuitivity and PC in case of neurotic disorders on the scales: "intuitivity" (U = 4,416; p < 0.001), "intuitive ability" (U = 2,941; p < 0.001), "use of intuition "(U = 2 683; p < 0.001)," temporary PC "(U = 4 944; p < 0.004)," spatial PC "(U = 2031; p < 0.001)," general PC "(U = 3 141; p < 0.001). Patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder significantly differ from other subgroups with neurotic and somatoform disorders according to the "intuitivity" scale (the value of the Kruskall - Wallis test is H = 9.833 (p < 0.02)). Correlation and cluster analyzes have shown that anticipative failure and a reduced level of intuitivity play a significant role in the mechanisms of neurosis. Conclusions: intuitivity in neurotic and somatoform disorders is the link between PC and psychological defenses in the general system of coping.

Authors: DİZGİL Eda
Published: December 2019

Bu çalışmanın amacı BİST Tekstil ve Deri endeksinde yer alan firmaların sermaye yapısı üzerinde etkili olan mikro düzeyli faktörlerin tespit edilmesidir. Bu amaçla ilk olarak endekste yer alan firmaların 2011-2018 yıllarına ait bilanço ve gelir tablosu verileri kullanılarak çalışmada kullanılacak finansal oranlar hesaplanmış ve daha sonra ise panel veri analizi yapılmıştır. Panel veri analizinde sermaye yapısı ile ilgili finansal oranlar bağımlı değişken olarak kullanılırken karlılık, likidite ve varlık kullanım etkinliği ile ilgili finansal oranları ise bağımsız değişken olarak kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada sermaye yapısı ile ilgili dört farklı değişken ile dört farklı model oluşturularak analiz yapılmıştır. Yapılan analiz sonucunda kaldıraç oranı ile faiz vergi öncesi kar oranı, brüt kar oranı, çalışma sermayesi oranı, stokların ortalama tüketim süresi arasında;  kısa vadeli borç oranı ile net kar oranı, cari oran, dönen varlık oranı ve uzun vadeli borç devir hızı arasında; uzun vadeli borç oranı ile faiz vergi öncesi kar, uzun vadeli borç devir hızı, toplam borç devir hızı ve brüt kar oranı arasında;  öz kaynak oranı ile aktif karlılık oranı, faiz vergi öncesi kar oranı, brüt kar oranı, dönen varlık oranı, çalışma sermayesi oranı ve uzun vadeli borç devir hızı arasında anlamlı ilişki olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
Türkiye’de Yabancıların Konut Edinimi İle Döviz Kuru Arasındaki İlişki: Eşbütünleşme Analizi (2013-2019)
Authors: SÜLEYMANLI Cavid
Published: December 2019

Döviz kurundaki dalgalanmalar ülkede bulunan yabancı vatandaşlar ve yabancı yatırımcıların tasarruf ve yatırım kararları için oldukça önemlidir. Yabancı vatandaşlar gerek ülkede vatandaşlık kazanmak gerekse de yatırım veya kullanım amaçlı konut edinmektedirler. Özellikle, Türkiye'nin turistik ilçelerinde ikincil konut olarak yabancılar tarafından gayrimenkuller satın alınmaktadır. Son yıllarda büyük gayrimenkul şirketlerin ve arabulucuların yabancılara ve yurtdışı pazarlara yönelik pazarlama stratejileri kurulmuş ve Türkiye'deki konut piyasasında yabancı payı artmıştır. Yabancıların gayrimenkul edinirken karşılık şartının kaldırılması, bankaların yabancılara mortgage kredisi vermeye başlaması ve gayrimenkul edinirken KDV'den muaf tutulması kararının ardından yabancıların Türkiye'de konut edinmesi daha da kolaylaşmıştır. Bu etmenlerle birlikte Türk Lirasının ABD doları karşısında değer kaybı da yabancıların konut talebini artırmıştır. Yapılan ampirik çalışmada 2013-2019 zaman dilimini kapsayan aylık veriler ile yabancılara satılan toplam konut satışı ile döviz kuru arasındaki ilişki test edilmiştir. Yapılan eşbütünleşme testi sonucunda her iki değişkenin bir biri ile eşbütünleşik olduğu ve bağımlı değişkenin içsel, bağımsız değişkenin ise dışsal olduğu sonucu ortaya çıkmıştır. Uzun dönem ilişkisindeki sapmaların da ortadan kalktığı hata düzeltme modeli sonucunda görülmüştür. Yapılan zayıf dışsallık testinin sonuçlarına göre ise döviz kuru ile yabancılara satılan konut arasında tek yönlü bir nedensellik bulunmuştur.
Yaşlanmanın Coğrafyaları: Coğrafi Gerontolojide İlerleme, Tartışmalar ve Araştırma Gündemi
Authors: ÖZGÜR Ertuğrul Murat
Published: December 2019

Coğrafya,
gelişmiş dünyada yürütülen gerontolojik çalışmalarda aktif olarak yer alan çok
sayıda disiplinden biridir. Coğrafi araştırmaların sosyal gerontoloji içindeki
rolü, 1970'lerin başlarında, yapılan çalışmaların yaşlı insanların, yaşlanma
süreciyle bağlantılı olarak belirli çevrelerde bulunduklarını, buraları
deneyimlediklerini ve kullandıklarını göstermesiyle, dolayısıyla da çevrenin
yaşlanma sürecini etkilediğinin anlaşılmasıyla birlikte tanımlanmıştır. Zira
coğrafyanın sentezleyici ve bütüncül geleneği, yaşlılar ile çevreleri
arasındaki karmaşık etkileşimi değerlendirmek için etkili bir metodoloji
sunmuştur. Coğrafya ile gerontoloji arasındaki bir kesişimde konumlanan ve
coğrafi gerontoloji diye isimlendirilen yeni bir disiplin, Batı dünyasında
yapısal olarak kurumlarda; düşünsel olarak hem disiplinlerin akademik
tartışmalarında hem de önemli ampirik araştırma alanlarında gelişmektedir. Bu
çalışma, son on yıllarda Türkiye’de politik ve akademik gündemde yerini alan
nüfusun yaşlanması meselesine “yaşlanmanın coğrafyası” perspektifinden bakarak
beşeri coğrafyacıların dikkatini çekmeyi; bu bağlamda yeni ortaya çıkan ve
hızla gelişen bir disiplini tanıtmayı ve onun başlıca araştırma konularına
işaret etmeyi amaçlamaktadır.

Kuzey Anadolu Dağları’nın doğu kesimi, Pleistosen buzullaşmasının en etkili olduğu yerlerdendir. 3500 metreyi aşan çok sayıdaki zirveye sahip olan bu dağların,  özellikle 2500 metrelerden yüksek kısımları kayda değer bir buzullaşma alanı oluşturmaktadır. Doğu Karadeniz Dağları’nın yüksek dorukları; Kaçkar, Verçenik, Tatos (Dilek), Bulut-Altıparmak ve Göller (Hunut) dağlarında, özellikle kuzeye bakan yamaçlarda bulunan buzullar ve buzul topografyası sahip oldukları niteliklere bağlı olarak pek çok araştırmaya konu olmuş ve olmaya da devam etmektedir. Kuzey Anadolu Dağları’nın bu yüksek doruklarının güneye bakan yamaçlarında da dikkat çekici bir buzullaşma etkisi, buzul topografyası, hatta aktüel sirk buzulları gözlenmektedir. Doğu Karadeniz Dağları’nın yüksek zirvelerinden birini oluşturan Tatos Dağı’nın (3550) güney kesimi, önemli bir buzullaşmanın meydana geldiği yerler arasındadır. Pleistosen’de etkili olan buzullaşmanın izlerini yansıtan tekne vadiler, buzul gölleri ve çeşitli buzul şekilleri ile birlikte bu alanda kuzeye bakan, dik yamaçlı bir glasyal sirk içinde belirlenen ve tamamen bir enkaz örtüsüyle kaplı olan Çatakkaya döküntü örtülü buzulu, bu alandaki buzullaşmanın etki ve önemini ortaya koyan kayda değer bir bulgu oluşturmaktadır.
Tarihsel Süreçte Dünya'da ve Türkiye'de Tarım Coğrafyası Alanındaki Çalışmalar
Authors: ALİAĞAOĞLU Alpaslan
Published: December 2019

Tarım coğrafyası coğrafyanın temel konularından biridir. Ancak bu
konudaki çalışmalar daha çok 20. yüzyılın başlarında yapılmıştır. Tarım
coğrafyası konusundaki çalışmalar zaman içinde farklılaşmıştır. Bu farklılaşma
her yerde aynı ölçüde olmamıştır. Bu çalışmanın arka planında Anglo-Sakson
tarım coğrafyası olan bir resim içinde Türkiye tarım coğrafyasının doğası ve
gelişimi üzerinde durulmaktadır. Çalışmada Türkiye'de coğrafya dergilerinde yayınlanan
makaleleri dikkate alınmaktadır. Sonuç olarak görülmektedir ki Türkiye'de tarım
coğrafyası yazınında konusal olarak çeşitlenme olmuştur. Yaklaşım konusunda
Dünyadaki değişimlerden etkilenme söz konusu olmamıştır. Tarihsel süreçte Türk
tarım coğrafyasının gelişiminde dört farklı evreden bahsedilebilir. Bunları;
başlangıç yılları, sınırlı gelişim dönemi, çeşitlenmenin başlangıç yılları,
çeşitlenmenin zirve yılları şeklinde sıralamak mümkündür.
