Authors: DURMAZ Ayşegül , ERTAŞ Ebru
Published: September 2021

Amaç: COVID-19 pandemisi psikolojik durumu, davranışsal özellikleri ve internet kullanım sıklığını değiştirmektedir. Araştırmada COVID-19 pandemisi sürecinde ebelik öğrencilerinin internet kullanım alışkanlıkları ile internet bağımlılığı arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı tipteki bu araştırma kolay örnekleme yöntemi kullanılarak, Temmuz-Ağustos 2020 tarihleri arasında çevrimiçi anket formuna cevap veren 385 ebelik bölümü öğrencisi ile tamamlanmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında “Kişisel Bilgi Formu” ve ‘‘Young İnternet Bağımlılığı Testi Kısa Formu (YİBT-KF)’’ kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin günlük internet kullanım süresi 339.662±203.228/dk olduğu, pandemide ise bu sürenin 160.987±116.223/dk arttığı belirlenmiştir. Araştırmada, eğlence ve sosyal (oyun oynama, mesajlaşma vd.) amaçla internet kullanma alışkanlıkları 5 saat ve daha fazla olan öğrencilerin, YİBT-KF toplam puan ortalamalarının daha yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca bu alışkanlıklarla YİBT-KF toplam puan ortalamaları arasındaki farkın anlamlı olduğu saptanmıştır. Öğrencilerin bilgi edinme (araştırma/tarama, online eğitim/kursa katılma vd.) amacıyla internet kullanma alışkanlıkları ile YİBT-KF toplam puan ortalamaları arasında anlamlı fark saptanmamıştır. Öğrencilerin pandemide internet kullanım sürelerindeki artış ve günlük internet kullanım süreleri ile YİBT-KF toplam puan ortalamaları arasında pozitif yönde zayıf bir ilişki (r=0.250, r=0.283; her biri için; p<0,05) olduğu belirlenmiştir.Sonuç: Ebelik bölümü öğrencilerinin ortalama günlük internet kullanım süresi oldukça uzun ve internet bağımlılık düzeyinin oldukça düşük olduğu, internette geçirilen süre arttıkça internet bağımlılığı düzeyinin de arttığı saptanmıştır. Ebelik bölümü öğrencilerinin internet kullanım alışkanlıklarını iyi planlamaları, interneti doğru amaçlar için kullanmaları konusunda bilinçlendirilmeleri önemlidir.

The essence of the blast load relies on the factors such as explosive weight, standoff distance of the structure from the explosive, the location of the explosion concerning the structure, shape of the protective structure, and orientation of the structure relative to the explosion. The study provides an approach for calculating blast wave parameters according to IS 4991-1968 and UFC 3-340-02 and demonstrated by examples. It concludes that, in Indian Standard, only positive blast wave is considered but in UFC, both the positive as well as negative blast wave is taken into consideration.

: The objective of this study was to establish the antecedents of dividend payout among listed non-financial Companies listed in Nairobi Securities Exchanges, Kenya, with four specific objectives; to establish the effect of profitability, capital expenditure, leverage and liquidity on dividend pay-out of listed non-financial companies in NSE. The study was founded on Modigliani and miller hypothesis, signalling hypothesis, birds in hand fallacy, Agency and clientele policy. Using correlation research design, the study examined the antecedents of dividend pay-out of listed non-financial companies listed in Kenya for the period 2008 to 2019. The result showed a positive and significant relationship between dividend pay-out ratio and profitability, liquidity and leverage. It also shows negative association between dividend pay-out and capital expenditure. It was concluded that capital expenditure significantly influences dividend paid out negatively. Interest payment for long term debt takes priority as a charge on the profit made by the company. An improvement of a company's liquidity would lead to a better compensation to shareholder inform of dividend distributions. Listed companies therefore are expected to pay dividends when the companies are performing well because otherwise shareholders may question the proceeding of the announced profit or results to signaling effect. Listed companies should arrange the financing of capital expenditure so as ensure shareholder remains at an advantage and enable the company to recover its cost on capital and expected returns.

The questionnaires were delivered to all students learning Chinese 2 (Tiếng Trung 2 – the highest Chinese-level course offered at An Giang University (AGU) in order to assess their learning outcomes according to the current learning curriculum and to research what needs addressing if a new curriculum is to be developed. The data collected showed that although the current course load was heavy, it did not meet HSK certification requirements in each area - listening, reading, conversation, grammar and logogram recognition.

Dari aspek sosio-budaya, tajau melambangkan hierarki status, kekayaan dan turutdigunakan dalam adat tradisi masyarakat Iban. Namun, peredaran zaman dan pendedahan tentangkepercayaan dan agama sedikit sebanyak telah mempengaruhi adat penggunaan tajau dalam sosiobudaya mereka.

Kaedah kajian yang dijalankan adalah melalui kajianlapangan di Rumah Panjang RH Malang, Pakan, Sibu Sarawak yang turut merangkumi kaedah kualitatifseperti temubual dan kajian literatur. Hasil kajian mendapati bahawa tajau memainkan peranan pentingsebagai medium ukuran denda dalam hukum adat perhubungan masyarakat Iban di Sarawak. Di masa kinitajau hanya sekadar menjadi bahan warisan turun-temurun dan kurang difahami oleh generasi masyarakatIban tentang nilai warisannya. Namun, sosio-budaya msyarakat Iban yang mengamalkan pantang larangdan adat tradisi yang berhubungkait-rapat dengan tajau, membolehkan tajau terus disimpan sebagaitanda hormat terhadap nilai keharmonian dan kelangsungan adat tradisi mereka.

Elde edilen bu veri havuzu beraberinde verilerin analiz edilebilmek için düzenlenmesi ve anlamlı hale getirilmesi ihtiyacını getirdi. İhtiyacı karşılayabilmek adına mevcut kullanılan internetin bir eklentisi olacak şekilde Web 3.0, diğer adıyla anlamsal ağ duyuruldu ve böylece artık veriler arasında bağlantı kurmak mümkün hale geldi.
