Bu çalışma küresel siyasetin gündeminde olan Orta Doğu bölgesine odaklanmaktadır. Orta Doğu bölgesi yüzyıllardan beri şiddet, çatışma ve savaşlarla anılmaktadır. Bu olumsuz olayların ardı arkası kesilmediği ve bugün bile devam etmekte olduğu görülmektedir. Orta Doğu bölgesinin bu denli olumsuz çağrışımlarla anılmasının nedeni hiç kuşkusuz zengin yeraltı ve yerüstü kaynaklarının varlığıdır. Bu nedenle bölge sömürgecilik faaliyetlerine maruz kalmış ve dekolonizasyon sürecinden sonra eski sömürgeci güçlerle birlikte küresel aktörlerin müdahale alanı haline gelmiştir. Bugün gelinen noktada bölgede şiddet, çatışma, savaş ve hatta soykırım olarak adlandırılabilecek olayların yaşandığı karmaşık bir durum gözlemlenmektedir. Irak'taki bölünmeler, Suriye'deki iç çatışmalar ve İsrail-Filistin çatışması gibi süregelen güncel olaylar, Orta Doğu bölgesinin henüz şiddetten arınmadığını göstermektedir. Rusya ve ABD'nin bölgede hegemonya kurma çabaları, Çin'in bölgeye sessizce yerleşme politikası ve eski sömürgeci güçlerden İngiltere ve Fransa'nın bölgeyi tamamen terk etmemiş olması göz önünde bulundurulduğunda, Ortadoğu'nun asıl sorununun bölge dışı aktörlerin varlığı olduğu söylenebilir. Bu konuda Orta Doğu üzerine yapılmış pek çok çalışma mevcuttur. Bu çalışmalardan biri de William L. Cleveland tarafından kaleme alınan Modern Ortadoğu Tarihi başlıklı kitaptır. Söz konusu kitap analiz edilirken yorumlayıcı bir yöntem kullanılmıştır. Bu bakış açısıyla, makale bu kitabı gözden geçirmekte ve içeriğini analiz etmektedir.

Authors: Anand S. Burud
Published: December 2024

Electric vehicles (EVs) are increasingly finding their place in the global transport ecosystem offering a greener alternative to traditional internal combustion engine type vehicles. Centrally, among all the most critical aspects of EVs travel range calculations, the basis of battery charge is one dependable variable that affects user experience and confidence. The travel range of EVs is influenced by several interconnected factors such as, use of internal vehicle appliances like music systems, headlights in nighttime, wipers in rainy conditions, air conditioning systems in summer. Furthermore, the load in the vehicle, driver driving behavior and the condition of the road will also affect the travel range. This review paper discussed the different methodologies and technologies adopted in the calculation of the travel distances of EVs batteries, pinpoints unresolved challenges and presents novel solutions such as those using Internet of Things systems and Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques. This paper will be able to present insights into the improvement of predictive analysis of travel distances out of user concerns in electric vehicle operations.
English as a Language in Global Turbulence
Authors: Shefali Naranje
Published: December 2024

English is a global language. Thanks to the British Empire for spreading it, across the globe and now the Americans for using it in a new version. Therefore, English language is here to stay for long. Other languages may come and go depending upon the nature of how it has been dealt with. But English has been taught in all the countries big or small. Today in a world of Turbulence maybe because of natural disasters or man-made disasters, English has proven to get people connected from across the globe. Therefore, it has become very essential to learn and understand the language to be a part of the new world order. English has been the local language or a common language which connects people from different regions. It is therefore very important to learn and understand that all regional languages are very important for the development of any country. On the contrary it is equally important to understand that learning and understanding English and using it for communication among various countries help in the overall development of the world. It is a language that connects people from across the world.
The Impact of ESG Investing on Portfolio Performance: An Empirical Study of Emerging Markets
Authors: Vivek Bhatia, Sanjeev Kumar
Published: December 2024

ESG investment, which stands for environmental, social, and governance investing, has become an important strategy in the global financial markets, and its applications are becoming more relevant in developing nations. This study investigates the impact of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) integration on portfolio performance in emerging markets. The study aims to accomplish three primary objectives: evaluating the performance of ESG-compliant portfolios in comparison to non-ESG portfolios; determining whether ESG factors enhance risk-adjusted returns; and identifying the challenges and opportunities associated with ESG investing. The study takes a quantitative approach, making use of secondary data from financial databases such as Bloomberg and MSCI, and covers a length of time ranging from five to ten years. The Sharpe Ratio, Jensen's Alpha, and portfolio volatility are some of the performance indicators that are studied for both ESG-compliant and non-ESG portfolios. It is clear from the results of the regression analysis that there is a positive and substantial association between ESG compliance scores and risk-adjusted returns, which highlights the significance of ESG integration in terms of financial advantages. According to the findings of a comparative investigation, ESG-compliant portfolios outperform their non-ESG counterparts in terms of returns and display reduced volatility, providing investors with better stability. But broad use in developing nations is hampered by obstacles such as uneven environmental, social, and governance (ESG) data and regulatory frameworks that are not yet fully created. In these locations, there is a substantial opportunity for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investment to generate sustainable economic development. Opportunities in renewable energy and rising investor awareness suggest this possibility. The results highlight the twin advantages of financial success and sustainability, providing policymakers, investors, and fund managers with insights that may be put into action. Following the conclusion of the study, suggestions are made to improve environmental, social, and governance (ESG) adoption by means of standardized reporting and legislative changes. These recommendations pave the way for future research to resolve data discrepancies and investigate sector-specific ESG dynamics in developing countries.
Machine Learning in Brain Tumor Diagnosis: Assessing the Efficacy of Diverse Methods
Authors: Mohammed Ahtesham Farooqui
Published: December 2024

Background: Brain tumors constitute a critical and potentially life-threatening condition that requires accurate and timely diagnosis. In recent years, machine learning (ML) approaches have emerged as powerful tools for assisting radiologists and clinicians in identifying and classifying tumors on medical imaging. While numerous ML methods, including conventional machine learning algorithms and deep learning-based models, have been explored, a comprehensive analysis of their efficacy in detecting, segmenting, and classifying brain tumors remains essential.
Methods: We conducted a systematic evaluation of diverse ML methods used in brain tumor diagnosis. We first identified and collated relevant studies from major scientific databases, focusing on image-based applications such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The methods included pre-processing pipelines, feature extraction techniques, and both supervised and unsupervised learning approaches. We then compared these methods based on standard metrics, including accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and F1-score, to gain insights into their relative performance. Furthermore, we applied representative algorithms (such as support vector machines, convolutional neural networks, and random forests) to an open-access brain tumor imaging dataset to evaluate their performance and compare empirical findings.
Results: Results indicated that deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks, consistently outperformed traditional ML models across various performance metrics. In particular, automated feature extraction in deep learning approaches proved pivotal in capturing nuanced information such as tumor shape and heterogeneity. Conventional algorithms still demonstrated merit when dataset sizes were limited or when computational resources were constrained. Additionally, various data augmentation techniques improved the robustness and generalizability of ML models in situations with scarce annotated data.
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that deep learning-based methods hold the greatest potential for accurate and efficient brain tumor diagnosis, particularly when coupled with robust datasets and high-quality imaging. Nonetheless, careful selection of model architecture, training strategies, and validation protocols remains paramount to ensure reliable clinical translation.
Work-Life Balance and Work-Life Integration: A Comparative Analysis through Conceptual Distinction
Authors: Nor Sham Nur Izzaty Shahirah , Salleh Rohani , Sheikh Sharifah Syahirah Syed , Saleem Muhammad Shoaib
Published: December 2024

The evolving discourse surrounding work-life balance and work-life integration reflects significant shifts in workplace dynamics, driven by factors such as increased workforce diversity, particularly the participation of women, and advancements in technology. This paper explores the conceptual distinctions between work-life balance, which emphasizes clear boundaries between professional and personal life, and work-life integration, which promotes the blending of work and non-work domains to create synergy. Work-life balance traditionally involves setting firm limits between paid work and personal responsibilities to maintain equilibrium, while work-life integration encourages flexibility, allowing individuals to fluidly navigate between professional and personal roles. Drawing on recent research, this paper highlights how each approach caters to different organizational structures and employee needs. Work-life integration, supported by the rise of remote work and flexible schedules, is especially suited for knowledge workers who benefit from autonomy. Conversely, work-life balance remains a preferred model for industries with fixed schedules or physical presence requirements, particularly among blue-collar workers. This article concludes by addressing the implications of both approaches for employee well-being, productivity, and organizational performance, emphasizing the need for tailored solutions to meet diverse workforce demands in today’s rapidly changing work environments.

Authors: Cizmeci Ümit Esra
Published: December 2024

With the introduction of social media into our lives, we are faced with different trends and themes of user-generated content. Mukbang videos, which are one of these contents published on social media platforms such as Instagram or YouTube, are remarkable in that they include a style of eating that may be enjoyable for some and disturbing for others. Mukbang is a video format that started in South Korea and quickly became a global phenomenon, where individuals interact with viewers while consuming large amounts of food. These contents, where food is used as a means of demonstration and social bonding, are an academically interesting and important research topic because they include many social and cultural dimensions such as digital consumption, social interaction, food culture and body perception. Based on the fact that these videos can also earn money for their publishers on digital platforms, this study examines the tendency to watch Mukbang videos from the perspective of young people and tries to understand the motivations of young people to watch these videos and what kind of pleasures they get in return. The data obtained from semi-structured interviews conducted with fourteen Mukbang followers that were selected by using a combination of purposeful and snowball sampling approaches, were analyzed in the MAXQDA program. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that young people learned about Mukbang videos through the "For You Page" of social media platforms, started watching these videos out of curiosity, watched them with the motivation to accompany or relax, gained virtual and spiritual satisfaction, and got acquainted with the dishes of different cultures that attracted their attention.

Türkiye’de orman alanlarında toprak kirliliği ile mücadelede hukuki çerçevenin değerlendirilmesi
Authors: Tulukcu Yıldızbaş Nilay
Published: December 2024

Giriş ve Hedefler Toprağın korunması ve çevre kirliliği konusunda Türk hukukunda yasal düzenlemeler bulunmaktadır. Ancak orman alanlarında toprağın korunmasına ilişkin 6831 Sayılı Orman Kanunu’nda özel düzenlemeler yetersizdir. Bu özel düzenlemelerin eksikliği orman alanlarında toprak kirliliği ile mücadelede bazı boşluklar yaratmaktadır. Çevre Kanunu, Türk Ceza Kanunu ve Kabahatler Kanunu gibi genel kanunlarda çevre kirliliğine ilişkin çeşitli hükümler bulunmaktadır. 6831 Sayılı Orman Kanunu’nda orman alanlarında toprak kirliliğine ilişkin doğrudan açık hüküm olmamasından dolayı gerek yargı kararlarında gerekse doktrinde genel kanun hükümleri uygulanmaktadır. Ancak, ormanların iklim değişikliği ile mücadelede önemli karbon yutak potansiyeli olması, erozyonu ve taşınmayı önlemesi vb. fonksiyonları bakımından özel niteliği gereği, ormanlarda kirletme eylemine ilişkin farklı cezai yaklaşım uygulanması önemlidir. Ayrıca toprak, sağladığı ekosistem hizmetleri bakımından olduğu kadar tüm ekosistemlerin sürdürülebilir varlığı için önemlidir. Bu çalışmada, özel niteliği gereği orman alanına, dolayısıyla orman toprağına bırakılan atıklara ilişkin hangi kanun hükümlerinin uygulandığı ve yargı kararlarında toprak kirliliğine yönelik yaklaşımlar ele alınmıştır.
Yöntemler Kirliliğe ilişkin literatür taraması ile yargı kararları analiz edilmiş, kirliliğe yönelik Avrupa Birliği düzenlemeleri ve strateji belgeleri ile Türkiye'deki hukuksal düzenlemeler kanun düzeyinde incelenmiştir.
Bulgular Orman alanında toprağa atık bırakılması eylemine karşı toprağın, özel kanun olan 6831 Sayılı Orman Kanunu ile korunması gerektiği yönündedir.
Sonuçlar Orman Kanunu’na getirilecek özel cezai düzenlemeler ile orman alanlarında toprağın özel niteliği vurgulanmalı ve yargı kararlarında özel bir cezai yaklaşım benimsenmeli şeklindedir. Dolayısıyla atık bırakılan alanın orman alanında toprak kirliliğine sebebiyet vermesi halinde, yargı mercilerince cezanın üst sınırına yaklaşıma yönelik bir uygulamanın getirilmesi yerinde olacaktır.

Authors: Imansyah Budi , Drajati Nugrahani Henny Saptatia
Published: December 2024

In this study, we want to assess France's reaction to the establishment of AUKUS and its implications for French diplomacy around the Asia-Pacific area. Australia said in September 2021 that it would join the AUKUS armed union, the United Kingdom, and the United States, and is seen as a catalyst for a strategic realignment of global powers in the region. France felt forgotten in the formation of AUKUS. France has problems in maintaining its presence and defence interests around the Asia-Pacific area. The study is qualitative in nature. The study's analysis focused on geopolitical, geoeconomic, and geostrategic variables. This research applies Stephen Walt's Balance of Threat theory, which holds that a nation's security is formed not just by the need to preserve a balance of power, but also by perceived dangers, which are mitigated by international cooperation. This study uncovers a complex interaction of security and geopolitical dynamics around the Asia-Pacific area after the establishment of AUKUS. AUKUS has far-reaching consequences outside France, causing conflicts and changes that might have a significant influence on regional security and stability. According to the research, France has taken strategic steps to address changing security dynamics in the Asia-Pacific area.

Authors: Nur Rachman Supadmana Muda  , Hasby Fajrus Shodiq
Published: December 2024

This research aims to design and build a stealth kamikaze drone for Silent Operation, named Unic, with an autonomous control system. In a modern context that increasingly emphasizes military technology, the existence of drones capable of conducting precision attacks without detection has become essential. This drone is designed to target enemy objectives with the aim of effectively detonating targets without being detected. The design process includes the selection of key components using ESP32, the development of autonomous navigation algorithms, and the integration of secure communication systems. In terms of stealth, the drone is equipped with silent-designed brushless motors that produce noise levels below 25 dB to reduce the likelihood of being heard from a distance. This research also includes performance testing of the drone in simulated scenarios, focusing on maneuverability, navigation accuracy, and stealth capabilities to avoid radar detection and other surveillance systems. Test results show that Unic can perform autonomous flights with high accuracy, optimizing stealth to evade radar and sound detection. These findings are expected to contribute to the development of military drone technology and enhance the effectiveness of national defense strategies. Future research will focus on improving sensor capabilities and anti-jamming systems to support operations in complex environments.

Authors: Azevedo Mario Luiz Neves de
Published: December 2024

O artigo analisa a relação entre solidariedade internacional, geopolítica do conhecimento e cooperação acadêmica Sul-Sul, focalizando especialmente a Liga de Universidades e a Rede de Universidades do BRICS como iniciativas concretas de integração intercultural. Inspirado nas teorias de Paulo Freire e Ernst Bloch, o artigo apresenta duas concepções de utopia: o "inédito viável" e a "utopia concreta" como horizontes históricos de cooperação solidária no Sul Global. O estudo argumenta que há espaço para iniciativas baseadas em princípios de solidariedade, respeito mútuo, inclusão, igualdade e interculturalidade. A aliança do BRICS é interpretada como uma oportunidade para fortalecer a cooperação entre países do Sul Global que enfrentam desafios comuns como a busca por autonomia e soberania. O conceito de Sul Global é apresentado como uma categoria que descreve países em contexto de desigualdade em relação ao Norte Global, destacando a necessidade de movimentos de resistência e transformação, como a cooperação Sul-Sul. O artigo referencia-se em autores de teorias críticas, especialmente em Bourdieu e Wacquant (2002), Bourdieu (2003, 2014), Gramsci (2001), Freire (1979; 1983) e Bloch (2000); propõe que, apesar dos desafios enfrentados, é possível para os países do Sul Global alcançar um desenvolvimento equitativo e solidário por intermédio de iniciativas conjuntas como as mencionadas, refletindo um compromisso coletivo em direção a um futuro mais justo, igualitário e colaborativo.
ABORDAR A INSEGURANÇA ALIMENTAR E NUTRICIONAL DAS FAMÍLIAS ATRAVÉS DE UM CURRÍCULO ESCOLAR ENRIQUECIDO
Authors: Botha Karien , Ferreira Ronel
Published: December 2024

In recent years, several South African Government policies as well as community-focused interventions have been put into effect in an attempt to address household food and nutrition insecurity. This drive is based on the continued challenge of malnutrition, non-communicable diseases, food and nutrition insecurity, as well as hunger within the country. When considering suitable platforms for such health promotion interventions, schools are regarded as suitable environments and unique resources that can promote quality of life, community-wide health and collective well-being through the implementation of school-based interventions. Against this background, we undertook a participatory research project in three purposefully selected primary schools in a resource-constrained community in South Africa, with the purpose of developing and implementing a school-based intervention with Grade 4 to 6 learners to support healthy food and dietary practices in the community. To be more specific, the Wellness in Lifestyle, Intake, Fitness and Environment (Win-LIFE) intervention aimed to facilitate positive change in terms of healthy food choices, production, preparation and consumption within the participating community. The intervention was conceptualised in collaboration with teachers, school principals, governmental officials, university informants and parents of the participating schools, to be facilitated by teachers as part of the national school curriculum in the subjects Life Skills, and Natural Sciences and Technology. The findings of our study indicate that the Win-LIFE intervention was successful in enriching the national school curriculum. As such, we argue in this article that schools can act as sites for social change in vulnerable communities.

In this contribution, we describe a new Zn-Pb ± Ag deposit, Boundary Zone, recently discovered in the Macmillan Pass district, Yukon, Canada. Nine drill holes were sampled and studied using petrography, mineralogy (whole-rock and clay fraction X-ray diffractometry), and U-Pb geochronology on fluorapatite. These methods were used to develop a mineralogical paragenesis in order to constrain the timing of and controls on sulfide mineralization.

The mineralization at Boundary Zone is hosted by the Late Ordovician-Early Silurian Duo Lake and the Middle-Late Devonian Portrait Lake Formations. The discovery of mineralized Ordovician-Silurian rocks at Boundary Zone is the first time that significant stratabound mineralization has been identified in rocks of this age within the Macmillan Pass district. The premineralization stage is dominated by early diagenetic phases, including quartz, barite, pyrite, fluorapatite, and phyllosilicates. Two genetically distinct mineralization stages have been identified. Mineralization stage I comprises stratabound fine-grained sphalerite, pyrite, galena, sulfosalts, and barian mica. Mineralization stage I sulfides formed via barite replacement, nucleation on premineralization pyrite, and porosity exploitation during early biogenic silica transformation of opal-A to cryptocrystalline and microquartz in highly siliceous mudstones (up to 85 wt % quartz). The high-grade and volumetrically major mineralization stage II formed following significant hydrothermal fluid-induced brecciation and veining of the host rocks and is accompanied by silicification and siderite formation. The presence of kaolinite, pyrophyllite, quartz, and fluorapatite suggests that hydrothermal fluids were likely F rich with temperatures up to 240°C.

In one sample from the Niddery Lake Member, a discordant vein crosscuts mineralization stage I, but its paragenetic relationship with mineralization stage II could not be determined. Fluorapatite in this vein records a Middle Jurassic U-Pb age. We suggest the multiple mineralizing events at Boundary Zone formed during a prolonged period of fluid flow, spanning from diagenetic stages in the basin, possibly to periods of Cordilleran-related deformation in the Selwyn basin. These findings have significant implications for exploration strategies in the Macmillan Pass district and similar geologic settings, where biosiliceous mudstone deposition, diagenetic barite formation, and multiple hydrothermal fluid pulses are evident.

Not all trainee clinical psychologists will have a clinical placement in learning disabilities.

Trainees can feel worried about having a learning disabilities placement.

But, often trainees really enjoy their placements working with people with learning disabilities, and learn a lot from these placements.

Here, psychologists talk about how they felt when they started to work with people with learning disabilities, and what that they learnt from this.

Psychologists reflect on their journeys through trainee clinical psychology placements and starting to work in learning disabilities, how these experiences often dispelled myths about working with people with learning disabilities, and what they feel they have learnt from this work.

This paper reflects on the experiences of four psychology undergraduate students who did a placement year in two Learning Disability (LD) services across North London.

We found that completing a placement in an LD service inspired the students to consider a career working with people with learning disabilities (LD).

Recommendations are shared for LD services thinking about offering placements and for students thinking about doing a placement.

We hope that sharing these reflections and recommendations will help more LD services offer placements and in turn inspire more people to pursue careers working with people with LD.

Organizations are increasingly implementing Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) practices to enhance Environmental Performance (ENVP) in response to growing sustainability demands. However, the pathways through which GHRM impacts ENVP, particularly the mediating role of Employee Commitment (EMPC) and the moderating effect of Organizational Culture (ORGC), remain insufficiently explored. This study employs a quantitative approach, collecting data from 348 valid responses through convenience sampling in Oman’s service sector. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to analyze direct, mediating, and moderating effects within the proposed framework. The results reveal that GHRM practices positively impact ENVP both directly and indirectly through EMPC. Employees’ commitment mediates this relationship by converting organizational sustainability strategies into tangible outcomes such as resource conservation and waste reduction. Additionally, ORGC moderates the GHRM-ENVP relationship, with supportive cultures amplifying the impact of GHRM practices on sustainability goals. This study underscores the strategic importance of integrating GHRM practices with a supportive culture to achieve superior environmental outcomes. By bridging theoretical gaps, it provides insights for policymakers and leaders to embed EMPC and ORGC into sustainability frameworks, aligning organizational practices with global environmental objectives.
The Role of Impulse Buying in Online Stores: An Empirical Study of Indonesian Consumers

Published: December 2024

This study examines the influence of sales promotions on impulse buying behavior, mediated by website quality, in Indonesia's competitive online retail market, particularly focusing on Berrybenka's e-commerce platform. The research employs a quantitative descriptive verification approach, utilizing Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) through SmartPLS for data analysis. Data was collected from 400 respondents in Bandung, West Java. The theoretical framework is grounded in the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA), investigating the relationships between e-commerce characteristics, sales promotions, and website quality in driving impulse purchases. Results demonstrate that sales promotions positively and significantly influence both website quality and impulse buying behavior. Similarly, website quality shows a significant impact on impulse buying. The findings indicate that sales promotion implementation is appropriate, while both website quality and impulse buying measurements fall into good categories. This research contributes to the existing literature by uniquely combining three rarely integrated factors: sales promotion, website quality, and impulse buying in a single study. The findings extend TRA applications in e-commerce contexts and provide practical insights for online retailers in Indonesia's rapidly growing digital marketplace, particularly relevant during after the COVID-19 pandemic when internet penetration and online shopping have increased significantly.

The rapid development of the use of digital technologies has facilitated access to digital information and evidence. This information and digital evidence are obtained via the Internet, social media or satellite. And may be used to investigate violations of human rights and international criminal law. Therefore, there is a problem of rebalancing between the right to privacy and the use of information and digital evidence in the investigation of violations of human rights and international criminal law. This study has objective of unified universal principles that set out the origins and rules for the use of information and digital evidence in the investigation of violations of human rights and international criminal law. In order to ensure international and national justice and criminal accountability and to document all violations of human rights and international criminal law. The analytical approach will be used through analysis of previous studies on the use of digital information and evidence in the investigation of violations of human rights and international criminal law. And analysis of the Berkeley Protocol on Open-Source Digital Investigations. Several findings and recommendations were reached in this paper, the most important of which is the need for the international community to recognize the information and digital evidence obtained to demonstrate violations of human rights and international criminal law.
