Examining the Lifelong Learning Competencies of Teachers
Authors: ÇİLEK Adem , ÇOBAN Fatma Nur , ÇETİN Ekrem
Published: June 2023

In today's technology-driven era, the significance of continuous learning has grown exponentially, as individuals are required to acquire and develop new information and skills. This need has given rise to the concept of lifelong learning, which emphasizes the ongoing process of learning regardless of age, time, and location. This study aims to investigate the lifelong learning competencies of teachers, who play a crucial role in the learning processes of individuals, considering various variables.

Convenience sampling was used to select 329 teachers, and they were administered the 'Lifelong Learning Competency Scale' developed by Hürsen (2011). The scale comprises sub-dimensions such as 'self-management competencies', 'learning to learn competencies', 'initiative and entrepreneurial competencies', 'knowledge acquisition competencies', 'digital competencies', and 'decision-making competencies'. Data analysis was performed with the JAMOVI program using descriptive statistics, Independent Sample t-Test, ANOVA, Pearson Correlation Analysis, and regression analysis.

The findings of the study indicated that teachers' lifelong learning competencies were at a high level, particularly the 'self-management competencies' sub-dimension, which demonstrated exceptional results. The remaining sub-dimensions also displayed high competency levels. Furthermore, the study concluded that teachers' lifelong learning competencies did not exhibit significant differences based on their gender, marital status, or the type of school they worked in.

The rapid progress of water-dispersion paints from the water-diluted group is due to a number of their advantages over other paint and varnishes from the category of environmentally friendly. The formulations of paintwork materials are dominated by aqueous dispersions of acrylic copolymers, acrylic styrole copolymers, homo- and copolymers of vinyl acetate. One of the main methods of targeted regulation of the properties of polymer composite materials and coatings is the use of surfactants (surfactants). As a result of adsorption phenomena, their physical interaction with the surface of dispersed particles and substrate, associations with film-forming molecules can significantly change the deformation-strength, insulating, adhesive, coloristic and other properties of paint coatings. The purpose of the work is a reasonable choice of polymer surfactants for obtaining water-dispersion acrylic coatings with a given set of properties. This determines the relevance of research. Objects. Film former - acrylic polymer, inorganic pigment - rutile-shaped titanium dioxide, modifying additives - polyestersiloxane copolymer (PES) and sodium polyacrylate (PAN), aqueous solvent. Conclusion. Analysis of the state and current trends in paint and varnish materials indicates the prospects of using water-dispersion acrylic compositions. The study of the physical and chemical regularities of processes involving surfactants, developed both in the volume of film-forming and at the interphase boundaries of its interface with pigment and air, is an important prerequisite for the formation of scientifically based approaches, when obtaining effective protective and decorative properties of coatings of water-dispersion compositions.
Comparative analysis of the tax wedge in Croatia and Slovenia from 2005 to 2020
Authors: Krtalić Sandra , Peruško Paula
Published: June 2023

Purpose: Personal income tax (PIT) and social security contributions (SSC) play a significant role in tax systems. Since both of them affect employers and employees, it is important to analyse the labour costs paid by the employer (gross wage) and the net wage received by the employee, i.e., the tax wedge. Methodology: Following OECD’s Taxing Wages methodology, this paper analyses the characteristics of the tax wedge and the tax wedge policy in the Republic of Croatia and the Republic of Slovenia in the period from 2005 to 2020. Results: The conducted analysis has shown that a Slovenian taxpayer faces the highest average net tax wedge for each observed family type, and that the Croatian tax wedge is lower in all hypothetical units observed. The taxpayer with the highest average gross wage also faces the highest tax burden. The problem of a relatively high tax wedge in Croatia and Slovenia does not lie with the personal income tax, which is relatively low, but with social contributions. Conclusion: The tax wedge primarily depends on the level of income, it decreases if the taxpayer has (more) children, and its amount depends on various levels of tax, deductions and social security contributions. In the future, the focus will be on alleviating the labour tax burden. However, this begs the question of how to further alleviate the burden on labour without implementing major structural reforms in the pension and healthcare system and/or introducing new tax forms.
The nexus between transparency reports and soft skills training in audit firms
Authors: Özdoğan Burak , Necef Yereli Ayşe
Published: June 2023

Purpose: This study aims to identify and discuss educational practices of a selected set of audit firms operating in Turkey within the scope of corporate transparency reports. Methodology: To address the basic research question, a sample of 52 audit firm disclosures in transparency reports are examined, and statistical analyses are conducted through SPSS. Results: Audit firms affiliated with international bodies provide comparatively longer periods of non-technical or soft skills education in-house. Transparency reports published in Turkey are yet to be standardized, and audit firms are to systematically plan and enrich their education programs with a particular emphasis on soft skills. Conclusion: Audit firms would gain from investing in the development of non-technical skills, which is not only limited by monetary concerns but also by other factors yet to be considered. The study also attempts to uncover any similarity/difference among audit firms’ educational initiatives identified in transparency reports, and understand whether these initiatives translate into some meaningful relationships and outcomes.
The Efficacy of Eco-Music in Interreligious Ecotheological Movement in Indonesia
Authors:   Soegijapranata Catholic University, Semarang, Indonesia, Purnomo Aloys Budi
Published: June 2023

This paper deals with interreligious eco-theological studies on unique, creative, and courageous phenomena initiated by young people to protect the integrity of creation and environmental sustainability as a form of appeal regarding ethics and environmental values in the face of law violations. They are members of a musical group named the Kendeng Squad and use songs to express their concern for environmental injustice. The group is also called an interreligious ecotheological movement because its members come from various religious backgrounds, namely, Sedulur Sikep representing the indigenous religion and Muslim activists, and Catholic activists; and because those songs call for protest against the exploitation of natural resources. Using qualitative analysis, this study found that the movement was able to motivate farmers and indigenous peoples to care about their environment. It has even spread to other places outside Pati Regency, Central Java, Indonesia, and involved music artists of the country. In this sense, eco-music has significantly contributed to the interreligious ecotheological movement. This study initially described the role of eco-music in responding to the ecological crisis hitting the Earth and then related it to interreligious ecotheology. After the general analysis, it then examined the background of the Kendeng Squad and its struggle to express its concerns through eco-musics to protect the North Kendeng Mountains Region. Overall, this paper offered a new insight into how eco-music has been efficacious in encouraging the interreligious ecotheology movement to maintain the integrity of creation and environmental sustainability.

Modern-Day Globalization: its Murky Underpinnings and its Even More Unsavory Future
Authors:   Dept. of Consciousness Studies, International University of Professional Studies (IUPS) Maui, Hawaii. USA, Lindhard Tina
Published: June 2023

By spelling out the link between Transhumanism, the 4th Industrial Revolution, and globalism, which together form the economic thrust of mankind’s projected future, this paper invites a rethink about the direction envisaged by modern-day society. The underlying linking factor of these enterprises is the Humanist movement that, like Transhumanism, shares a Utopian view of the world and supplies the relative ethical underpinning for these ‘so-called’ new advances. Three Manifestos lay out the objectives of the Humanist Association, describing it as a religion that is supposed to replace other older deity-based religions. Its progressive philosophy of life without theism or other supernational beliefs leads to a break with the past and affirms humans’ “ability and responsibility to lead ethical lives of personal fulfillment that aspire to the greater good.” Nevertheless, can we live ethical lives where the accent is on fulfilling only our personal desires, which include the right to unrestricted contraception, abortion and divorce and death with dignity eg. Euthanasia and suicide? Ethical relativism is taken to a new extreme by Transhumanism, which rests on the idea that humans should embrace self-directed human evolution using technology to transcend their current natural state and limitations, ie disease, ageing, and even death. According to this author, it is time we moved beyond the limited materialist view, not through global movements like Humanism and Transhumanism, but through exploring and discovering our spiritual nature and the spiritual underpinning of reality. Through this endeavor, we can learn to live in harmony with each other and nature, where the accent is on service to others. Based on experience, we soon realize that our happiness depends on others being happy and includes looking after the weak, the aged, and the infirm. Ethical relativism and lack of clear values will not get us there; on the contrary, they will probably lead to hell on earth.
A Historical Significance of Ancient Migration in Psalms
Authors:   Taipei University of Nursing and Health Sciences, Open University. Taipei City. Taiwan, Tseng Paul
Published: June 2023

I apply Gadamer’s view of historicity to undergo a theological understanding of the historical significance of ancient migration in Psalms, which narrates Israelites’ history, including creation, the patriarchs, Egyptian bondage, Sinai, the wilderness, conquest, life in the land, and the exile and return. Gadamer’s concept of history composed of universal history, the concept of power, and the concept of Spirit are applied to explain the historical significance of Psalms. In terms of Christianity, which appears to be the centerpiece of the historical view of the Western tradition, human history moves towards unity and freedom under the supreme sovereignty of the Spirit, Who makes history. As compared to today’s global issue of immigration, based on this historical understanding, we can get a better understanding of the migratory trend of our contemporary world.

This seventeen issue of DIALOGO [2023] is dedicated to the multi-theme `Freedom, Human Rights, Global Crises, Solidarity & Values ` - addressing several actual issues with a central focus on human rights, seen in our society nowadays concerning globalization amid global crises that occurred in the latest years, and beyond towards a holistic approach of private vs universal values. Finally, DIALOGO collates several articles relating to the empirical measurement of religion and health—an increasingly important area of research. We start our endeavor with the inquiry, “What can we do to preserve human rights and values amid social changes?”
The question of freedom in doping: A moral approach
Authors:   National Technical University of Athens, Greece, Alifieri Sofianna , Theologou Kostas ,   National Technical University of Athens, Greece
Published: June 2023

In this paper, two questions are been put forward: whether doping falls within the athlete's freedom to do what they can to enhance their performance and whether or not is necessary an establishment of limits on the scientific research concerning these substances. Following this line of thought, two aspects of freedom are raised: the freedom of the athlete, and the freedom of the scientist. These two aspects are discussed within a moral framework, in particular that of moral relativism. For the first question, based on the theory, the athlete may consider that there is no absolute truth about doping, such as e.g. that it is wrong and not beneficial for sports, athletes, etc. The morally rightness of doping depends on the moral character of each athlete and/or the association, the country she/he represents. For the second question, one might consider that research in the field in question is not morally wrong. By investigating the properties of various substances we could be led to cures for several diseases and even to the augmentation of human capabilities. Both aspects are also discussed through selected interview answers of professional athletes.

Human Rights: Evolution And Devolution
Authors:   Independent Researcher, North Carolina, USA, Honeycutt Richard A.
Published: June 2023

The concept of human rights is over three millennia old. The oldest document listed three specific rights: physical liberty, shelter, and life. By the present time, many more have been added through various countries’ legal systems and important historical documents. Probably the most comprehensive such document is the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Although not all-inclusive in terms of incorporating all the human rights proposed by previous documents, the broad acceptance of the Declaration as a model for human rights observance has constituted a hopeful sign. Unfortunately, the protection of human rights has been in a decline for some recent years. Examples and social forces leading to this decline are examined.
Universal Human Values and Religious Beliefs in a Globalizing World
Authors:   Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies, Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Çanakkale, Turkey, Deniz Osman Murat
Published: June 2023

In a globalizing world, the interaction between universal human values and religious beliefs becomes an important topic of discussion. While there can be overlap between universal human values and religious teachings, there are also instances where they may diverge or even conflict. In today’s world, where people from diverse cultures and religious backgrounds interact more frequently, the challenge lies in finding common ground and fostering mutual respect and understanding. The reinterpretation of religious teachings within human rights frameworks may provide a common language and set of principles that can be used to bridge the gap between religious beliefs and universal values. It is crucial to approach these discussions with sensitivity, open-mindedness, and a willingness to engage in respectful dialogue between Religion and Philosophy.
Surface dynamics and history of the calving cycle of the Astrolabe glacier (Antarctica) derived from optical imagery
Authors: Provost Floriane , Zigone Dimitri , Le Meur Emmanuel , Malet Jean-Philippe , Hibert Clément
Published: June 2023

Abstract. The recent calving of the Astrolabe glacier (Terre Adélie, East Antarctica) in November 2021 presents an opportunity to better understand the processes leading to ice fracturing. Optical satellite imagery is used to retrieve the calving cycle of the glacier since 2000 by mapping the ice front location. A recent archive of high resolution optical images from Sentinel-2 is used to measure the ice motion and the ice strain rates for the period 2017–2021 in order to document fractures and rift evolution. These observations are compared with sea ice extent and concentration measurements. We found that a significant change in the sea ice melting periodicity at the vicinity of the Astrolabe glacier occurred in the last decade (2011–2021) with respect to previous observations (1979–2011). After 2011, the occurrence of consecutive years of high sea-ice concentration at the vicinity of the glacier seems to have favored the ice tongue spatial extension. This lead to an unprecedentedly observed extension of the ice tongue until November 2021. The analysis of strain rate time series revealed that the glacier dislocated suddenly in June 2021 in the middle of the winter before releasing an iceberg of around 20 km2 in November 2021 at the onset of sea ice melting season. These observations suggest that although the presence of sea ice favors glacier extension, its buttressing effect may not be sufficient to prevent fracture opening.
Bedload transport fluctuations, flow conditions and disequilibrium ratio at the Swiss Erlenbach stream: results from 27 years of high-resolution temporal measurements
Authors: Rickenmann Dieter
Published: June 2023

Abstract. Based on measurements with the Swiss plate Geophone system with a 1 min temporal resolution, bedload transport fluctuations were analysed as a function of the flow and transport conditions in the Swiss Erlenbach stream. The study confirms a finding from an earlier event-based analysis of the same bedload transport data, which showed that the disequilibrium ratio of measured to calculated transport rate influences the sediment transport behaviour. To analyse the transport conditions, the following elements were examined to characterize bedload transport fluctuations: (i) the autocorrelation coefficient of bedload transport rates as a function of lag time, (ii) the critical discharge at the begin and end of a transport event, (iii) the coefficient of variation of the bedload transport rates, and (iv) a hysteresis index as a measure of the strength of clockwise or anticlockwise transport behaviour. This study underlines that above average disequilibrium conditions, which are associated with a larger sediment availability on the streambed, have generally a stronger effect on subsequent transport conditions than below average disequilibrium conditions, which are associated with comparatively less sediment availability on the streambed. The findings highlight the important roles of the sediment availability on the streambed, the disequilibrium ratio, and the hydraulic forcing in view of a better understanding of the bedload transport fluctuations in a steep mountain stream.
Snow data assimilation for seasonal streamflow supply prediction in mountainous basins
Authors: Metref Sammy , Cosme Emmanuel , Le Lay Matthieu , Gailhard Joël
Published: June 2023

Abstract. Accurately predicting the seasonal streamflow supply (SSS), i.e., the inflow into a reservoir accumulated during the snowmelt season (April to August), is critical to operating hydroelectric dams and avoiding hydrology-related hazard. Such forecasts generally involve numerical models that simulate the hydrological evolution of a basin. The operational department of the French electric company Electricité de France (EDF) implements a semi-distributed model and has carried out such forecasts for several decades on about 50 basins. However, both scarce observation data and oversimplified physics representation may lead to significant forecast errors. Data assimilation has been shown to be beneficial for improving predictions in various hydrological applications, yet very few have addressed the seasonal streamflow supply prediction problem. More specifically, the assimilation of snow observations, though available in various forms, has been rarely studied, despite the possible sensitivity of the streamflow supply to snow stock. This is the goal of the present paper. In three mountainous basins, a series of four ensemble data assimilation experiments – assimilating (i) the streamflow (Q) alone, (ii) Q and fractional snow cover (FSC) data, (iii) Q and local cosmic ray snow sensor (CRS) data and (iv) all the data combined – is compared to the climatologic ensemble and an ensemble of free simulations. The experiments compare the accuracy of the estimated streamflows during the reanalysis (or assimilation) period September to March, during the forecast period April to August, and the SSS estimation. The results show that Q assimilation notably improves streamflow estimations during both reanalysis and the forecast period. Also, the additional combination of CRS and FSC data to the assimilation further ameliorates the SSS prediction in two of the three basins. In the last basin, the experiments highlight a poor representativity of the CRS observations during some years and reveal the need for an enhanced observation system.
Exploring the use of multi-source high-resolution satellite data for snow water equivalent reconstruction over mountainous catchments
Authors: Premier Valentina , Marin Carlo , Bertoldi Giacomo , Barella Riccardo , Notarnicola Claudia , Bruzzone Lorenzo
Published: June 2023

Abstract. The hydrological cycle is strongly influenced by the accumulation and melting of seasonal snow. For this reason, mountains are often claimed to be the “water towers” of the world. In this context, a key variable is the snow water equivalent (SWE). However, the complex processes of snow accumulation, redistribution, and ablation make its quantification and prediction very challenging. In this work, we explore the use of multi-source data to reconstruct SWE at a high spatial resolution (HR) of 25 m. To this purpose, we propose a novel approach based on (i) in situ snow depth or SWE observations, temperature data and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images to determine the pixel state, i.e., whether it is undergoing an SWE increase (accumulation) or decrease (ablation), (ii) a daily HR time series of snow cover area (SCA) maps derived by high- and low-resolution multispectral optical satellite images to define the days of snow presence, and (iii) a degree-day model driven by in situ temperature to determine the potential melting. Given the typical high spatial heterogeneity of snow in mountainous areas, the use of HR images represents an important novelty that allows us to sample its distribution more adequately, thus resulting in highly detailed spatialized information.
The proposed SWE reconstruction approach also foresees a novel SCA time series regularization technique that models impossible transitions based on the pixel state, i.e., the erroneous change in the pixel class from snow to snow-free when it is expected to be in accumulation or equilibrium and, vice versa, from snow-free to snow when it is expected to be in ablation or equilibrium. Furthermore, it reconstructs the SWE for the entire hydrological season, including late snowfall. The approach does not require spatialized precipitation information as input, which is usually affected by uncertainty. The method provided good results in two different test catchments: the South Fork of the San Joaquin River, California, and the Schnals catchment, Italy. It obtained good agreement when evaluated against HR spatialized reference maps (showing an average bias of −22 mm, a root mean square error – RMSE – of 212 mm, and a correlation of 0.74), against a daily dataset at coarser resolution (showing an average bias of −44 mm, an RMSE of 127 mm, and a correlation of 0.66), and against manual measurements (showing an average bias of −5 mm, an RMSE of 191 mm, and a correlation of 0.35).
The main sources of error are discussed to provide insights into the main advantages and disadvantages of the method that may be of interest for several hydrological and ecological applications.
The Spanish Enlightenment and Happiness Economics. The case of Seville’s Economic Society of Friends of the Country and its project to trade meat salting with Buenos Aires Province (1778)
Authors: Noguero Hernández Carlos , Martínez Fernández Ignacio , Palma Martos Luis
Published: June 2023

The Enlightened Movement in Spain is widely known for its modernizing effort and its economic and social reform projects in Spain in the 18th and 19th centuries. In line with the European Enlightenment, the ideals of classical liberalism and utilitarianism began to spread hand in hand with the enlightened intellectuals as a paradigm towards the well-being of the people. The anthropocentric turn of the Enlightenment brought with it not only the struggle for the rights of man and the consequent evolution of European absolute monarchies towards enlightened despotism, but also the evolution of the very perception of wealth, well-being and happiness of the society. Thanks to the works of Adam Smith, Thomas Malthus or Jeremy Bentham, the roots of the Happiness Economics can be traced back to the 18th century through the association they made between the economic development of society and the level of happiness. This paper analyzes the project of the Royal Sevillian Economic Society of Friends of the Country for the salted meat trade with the province of Buenos Aires as a case study of the connection between economic development, well-being and happiness in the Spanish Enlightenment through the study of the transcripts of sessions collected in the Libro de Actas No. 1 (1775-1780) and the copies of letters collected in the Book of Correspondence of the Society, as well such as the loose papers available in the Municipal Archive of Seville.
Robert Capa el fotógrafo comprometido: análisis de la fotografía Muerte de un miliciano y su localización
Authors: Susperregui Echeveste Jose Manuel
Published: June 2023

La fotografía Muerte de un miliciano es el paradigma para investigar las diferencias entre la realidad y la capacidad de la fotografía para su representación. En este artículo se hace un recorrido exhaustivo sobre esta imagen que ha sido considerada como la mejor fotografía de guerra jamás realizada y que, a su vez, ha generado una polémica sobre su autenticidad o escenificación. A pesar de las evidencias demostradas en varias publicaciones, tanto International Center of Photography como la Agencia Magnum, no muestran ningún interés por estas aportaciones que han resuelto la polémica. La actitud silenciosa de la Agencia Magnum es preocupante porque es el paladín que defiende la importancia de la fotografía para mejorar la justicia social y el bienestar general de la sociedad. La actitud de International Center of Photography es similar porque cuando se publican las nuevas evidencias que inclinan la balanza hacia la escenificación, responden que todavía hay que seguir investigando. En este artículo se demuestra sin lugar a dudas que Muerte de un miliciano fue una fotografía escenificada.
La Sociedad Artístico-Fotográfica “Los Treinta”. Un paradigma del amateurismo
Authors: Sánchez Vigil Juan Miguel
Published: June 2023

Las sociedades fotográficas amateurs surgieron en España en la segunda parte del siglo XIX y alcanzaron gran predicamento en el primer tercio del XX. Estuvieron compuestas por aristócratas, políticos, funcionarios, militares y profesionales liberales (juristas, médicos, arquitectos, profesores, periodistas, etc.), y su objetivo fue la práctica y dinamización de la fotografía mediante actividades diversas, con un triple propósito lúdico, formativo y divulgativo plasmado en exposiciones, concursos y publicaciones. Es objeto de este artículo presentar la Sociedad Artístico-Fotográfica “Los Treinta”, dando a conocer sus fines, actividades y componentes. Creada en enero de 1910, tuvo una corta vida hasta junio de 1911, y entre sus miembros figuran autores de relevancia en la época, entre ellos Santiago Alhassá, Sebastián Castedo, Ramón González, Máximo Orrios, Telesforo Pérez Oliva, José María Álvarez de Toledo, Joaquín Fungairiño o Antonio Prast.
Türkiye Eğitim Sisteminde Göç ve Yabancı Öğrencilerin Adaptasyon Sürecinin İncelenmesi
Authors: Kılıçdere Kenan
Published: June 2023

The aim of this study is to examine the migration and adaptation process of foreign students in the Turkish education system. The word meaning of education is the development of a person's physical and mental abilities, learning social rules and adapting to society. Education is the process of adults purposefully and consciously transferring the current culture to the younger generations. According to the social scientist Durkheim, education is an action that adults apply to younger generations who are not ready for social life. Education systems vary from country to country. Countries have their own unique social, cultural, economic and political structures. Education systems, on the other hand, refer to the structure created for the implementation of the current educational policies of countries. Considering that the most important part of education systems is human, it is understood how sensitive the education system should be in the creation process and should also include perspectives for the future. Today, education is an activity carried out in places called classrooms in schools. The classroom is the basic environment in which teaching takes place. The classrooms located in the school are the areas where learning and teaching activities are carried out where the teacher and the student are face-to-face. This fact, which constitutes an invaluable situation in terms of our country's ongoing and developing industrial investments, market mechanism and employer interests, has also been evaluated positively from the point of view of state managers. Only qualified and qualified asylum seekers do not create opportunities for our country in terms of labor. In addition, unqualified asylum seekers also do not hesitate to do jobs that require physical strength and effort and cause much more effort, which Turkish citizens do not want to do or avoid doing, with low wages and excessive working hours. This workforce also includes foreign students of school age. Although this situation may be in the interests of state administrators, it is not in the interests of citizens. Because foreign students who receive low wages and work with excessive working hours take away from themselves the work that Turkish citizens will do. While foreign nationals have not yet taken refuge in our country, foreigners are doing the jobs that our country's citizens are doing today.

Investigation of Aged Individuals in the Kahramanmaraş Earthquake in Turkey
Authors: KADAN Gül
Published: June 2023

Aged individuals, who are among the vulnerable individuals in society, constitute an important group that should be protected and protected. The underlying reason for this can be thought of as the physiological and psychological states of aged individuals. Under these considerations, it was aimed to determine what happened in the earthquake disaster, which was the epicenter of Kahramanmaraş Pazarcık and Elbistan on February 6, 2023, under the opinions of aged individuals. Phenomenological case design, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the research. The study was conducted with 300 individuals over the age of 300 who voluntarily agreed to participate in the study. 58.3% of the individuals participating in the research are male and 41.7% are female. 100% of them have encountered a disaster at some point in their lives, and 50% of these disasters have been pandemics. In the study, the data were collected with a semi-structured interview form developed by the researchers. At the end of the research, it was found that aged individuals were most anxious (n=300) and experienced anxiety (n=178), constantly watching television or reading the newspaper (n=180); In the 6 February earthquake, it was determined that they experienced the highest rate of willingness to help (n=300) and fear (n=290) and that they constantly watched television (n=300). In line with the results obtained from the research, it can be suggested that psychosocial support mechanisms should be effectively presented in the face of disasters, especially for older individuals.

Eğitim Yönetiminde İşten Ayrılma Niyetine Etki Eden Faktörlerin İncelenmesi
Authors: Köklü Fahrettin
Published: June 2023

The aim of this study is to examine the factors affecting the intention to quit work in education management. Job satisfaction refers to how satisfied employees are with their jobs. Job satisfaction is a factor that has a direct impact on employees' motivation, performance, loyalty and attitudes at work. Therefore, job satisfaction is important for both employees and employers. Workplaces that provide job satisfaction retain employees and provide loyalty to the job. Job satisfaction is related to employees' thoughts, feelings and expectations about their jobs. The level of job satisfaction depends on how happy employees are at their jobs and how adequate they are at their jobs. Employees with a high level of job satisfaction tend to perform higher at their jobs, exhibit higher motivation and higher productivity. In addition, it has been observed that employees with high levels of job satisfaction experience less stress at work, leave work less often, and get sick less. Job satisfaction is also important for employers. The level of job satisfaction of employees helps employers to retain their employees and reduces the costs of employers. Increasing employee job satisfaction can help employers demonstrate a higher performance and higher productivity in the workplace. In addition, employees with a high level of job satisfaction increase the image of employers in the workplace and can help employers to be more attractive during the hiring process. Intention to leave work is an employee's thoughts and plans about leaving his current job. The intention to quit your job may vary depending on many factors. Some employees may consider quitting when they get a better job offer or want to move to a different job to achieve their career goals. Other employees may consider leaving their jobs due to adverse conditions at work. Key Words: Educational Management, Job Satisfaction, Intention to Quit Work
Podporządkować czy zwalczać? Tajne memorandum A.S. Muchanowa o Kościele katolickim w Królestwie Polskim
Authors: Górak Artur
Published: June 2023

Po zerwaniu stosunków dyplomatycznych między Stolicą Apostolską a Imperium Rosyjskim strona rosyjska zdała sobie sprawę, że likwidacja Kościoła katolickiego wiąże się z poważnymi stratami wizerunkowymi na arenie międzynarodowej. Rosyjska administracja nadal jednak kontynuowała politykę terroru wobec tego wyznania. Kanclerz i minister spraw zagranicznych Aleksandr Michajłowicz Gorczakow, jako przewodniczący tajnego komitetu katolickiego, dążył do przekonania zwolenników tej polityki do zawarcia choćby partykularnego porozumienia z Rzymem. Jednym z argumentów miało być opracowanie Aleksandra Siergiejewicza Muchanowa z 1871 r., ostatniego szefa rosyjskiego Zarządu Spraw Duchownych Wyznań Obcych w Królestwie Polskim. Muchanow analizuje w nim poszczególne cele rosyjskiej polityki w stosunku do Kościoła katolickiego. Stoi na stanowisku, że należy rozważyć inną metodę działania niż terror i brutalne represje, a mianowicie porozumienie ze Stolicą Apostolską i uzgodnienie współdziałania celem oddzielenia katolicyzmu od polonizmu. Pierwszym krokiem miałoby być obsadzenie wakujących stolic biskupich, a następnie powołanie, możliwie niezależnej od papieża, jednej na całe Imperium struktury Kościoła katolickiego ze stolicą w Petersburgu.

Preliminary results of the studies on 12 samples from Dobrostan Formation along three profiles in Northern and Southern Pirin Mountain, as well as on one sample from the stratotype of the Formation in the Central Rhodope Mountains, revealed different amounts of organic matter. The latter consists of organic coats, plant detritus, graphite crystals and kerogene matter, and contains also specimens of microphytofossils in differing state of preservation. The following taxa have been determined: Protosphaeridium sp., Protosplweridium den sum Tim., Kildinella sp., Kildinella cf. sinica Tim., Kildinella cf. hyperboreica Tim., and Trachysphearidium (?) sp. These microphytofossils are characteristic for the Upper Proterozoic (Riphean). The presence of the genus Kildinella – a guide fossil for the Riphean of Eurasia, confirms the Riphean age of Dobrostan Formation in Pirin Mountain, i.e. the same age already establi shed for this Formation in its type region.

O presente estudo objetivou conhecer o contexto histórico e social dos alunos do Ensino Médio de uma escola do campo no cariri paraibano a fim de identificar a influência da dança no contexto escolar. No estudo de campo foram entrevistados alunos e ex-alunos de uma escola no município de São João do Cariri. Para tanto, foi utilizado um roteiro de entrevista semiestruturada para conhecer a opinião e inquietudes dos alunos das escolas do campo da região do cariri, e o que eles pensam sobre a prática da dança como componente integrador no ambiente escolar. Os resultados das entrevistas e observações foram categorizados a partir da Análise de Conteúdo proposto por Bardin. A partir desta análise, percebeu-se que assim como na maioria das escolas, a dança não é um componente muito trabalhado, apesar dos alunos demonstrarem o interesse em aprender danças como o forró, a valsa e o break dance no ambiente escolar. Apesar de não ser um componente regular presente nas escolas da região do Cariri paraibano, seja por meio das aulas de Educação Física e/ou Artes, na área de Linguagens e Códigos e suas tecnologias, a Escola Estadual Jornalista José Leal Ramos incentiva os alunos durante as apresentações culturais da escola.

Most of the d-metals are familiar with their distinctive properties and their applications have been extended in vast industry fields. Though they are doing outstanding work in industries and help to boost the economy of dependence. The excess uptake of d-metals explores significant health issues, and detrimental effects on the environment, and corrodes the biological species. Fluorescent probes based on Schiff base chemical compounds give more accuracy, and low-level detection for metal ions in water, chemicals, and in biological cells through commendable and quick fluorescence signals. So, it empowers the successful detection of d-metals in terms of dissimilar fluorescence responses by probes in light of metals. Based on the recent research in the field of Schiff base-based fluorescent probes and interpretation on effects for binding like ON-OFF PET, ICT, CHEF, and CHEQ this imperative review is framed.

The following work could bring new insights into the application of heterocyclic N, N′-substituted thiobenzamide derivatives as novel pesticides. Insect growth regulators such as chitin synthesis inhibitors seem promising because of their specific mode of action on insects and their lower toxicity against vertebrates than conventional insecticides. Thus, a novel series of thiobenzamide derivatives have been prepared in a pure state. The structure of these synthesized compounds which related to the most famous insect growth regulator insecticides, were confirmed by elemental and modern spectroscopic analyses (IR, UV, 1HNMR and 13CNMR). Toxicological and biochemical parameters of the synthesized compounds against the cotton leafworm, Spodoptera littoralis under laboratory conditions were also investigated. Regarding the determined LC50 value for compound 2,4-Dichloro-N-[(2-methoxyphenyl)carbamothioyl]- benzamide 14 showed the most potent toxic effects than the other synthetic target compounds, with LC50 46.84 ppm of 2nd instar larvae and LC50 148.05of the 4th instar larvae.

Revision total hip arthroplasty (RTHA) is a challenging procedure when we speak about acetabular defects and recurrent instability. There are multiple reasons like the number of previous revisions, implant position, bone quality, patient characteristics and etc. Managing acetabular defects with porous trabecular metal augments has excellent survivorship, but when addressing instability, there are some unsolved issues. Management options include the use of large femoral heads, constrained acetabular liners, and dual mobility cups (DMC). These cups have increased jump distance and reduced likelihood of dislocation while not relying on locking mechanisms, therefore are the preferred option in RTHA. We present single-center series of 13 patients undergoing revision THA with a specific DMC cemented into a newly implanted or well-fixed trabecular metal (TM) revision shell. All patients underwent cementation of a single specific cemented DMC design (Novae Stick, SERF, Decines, France) in a Trabecular Metal Revision Shell (Zimmer Biomet, Warsaw, IN, US). The mean follow-up is 15,2 months, and there were no dislocations of the implanted DM cups. The mean HHS improved significantly from 35.9 (range 15–80) preoperatively to 80.1 (range 64-93) postoperatively (p = 0.001). The results of this small clinical series demonstrate that cementing a DMC in a well-fixed TM revision shell leads to no dislocation or dissociation of the cement interface and acetabular construct loosening in the short term.

Published: June 2023

The purpose of the study is that in the financial market, in addition to the money market, there are markets for the purchase and sale of assets in future periods. However, the parties to such contracts have the right or obligation to sell or purchase a financial asset at a fixed price on a fixed date. Such contracts are called derivative financial instruments, since it is believed that the contract price is directly related to the change in the price of the underlying asset. Derivative financial instruments help not only to fix future prices, but also to insure against unfavorable exchange rate volatility. To fulfill the latter function, the country's economy must have a market of derivative financial instruments and a market of underlying assets.

Methodology. The methodological basis of the research is the dialectical method of cognition. In the process of research, both general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, deduction, classification, systematic approach) and special methodological techniques (accounting and tax accounting) are used.

Originality / value of the research. In the conditions of instability of the world economy, the accounting of derivative financial instruments as a mechanism of crisis management and regulation in the country, stabilization of the efficiency of business portfolios of economic entities occupies an important place. The practical significance of this scientific article, designed to reflect the specifics of the organization of accounting for financial instruments in the financial risk management system of business owners in an unstable financial crisis, is considered to be quite high.

Therefore, in this scientific article we will give a description of theoretical scientific and practical approaches to the peculiarities of accounting for financial instruments.

Findings. The article reflects the methods of regulation of accounting for derivative financial instruments through the standards of IFRS 32 «Financial Instruments: provision of information», IFRS 7 «Financial instruments: disclosure of information», IFRS 9 «Financial Instruments». Based on the data, the essence of hedging will be reflected in the accounting and reporting system.
