Situating the Russian Advocacy of Traditional Values in the Geopolitical Context
Authors: DOĞANGÜN Gökten
Published: October 2023

As epitomized by the invasion of Ukraine, the lasting geopolitical power struggle between the West and the rising nations, including Russia, has been dragging the international system towards polarization again. Its epicenter lies in the contest over the meaning of modernity that becomes particularly evident in the antagonistic attitudes towards sexual rights. Linking sexual rights to modernity has been counteracted by the discourse on traditional values. This article aims to critically examine Russia’s advocacy of traditional values in the geopolitical context. Built on the tripartite of cultural authenticity, sovereignty, and anti-Westernism, the discourse of traditional values conveys the resistance to the imposition of liberal values regarding gender equality and sexual diversity as the constitutive parameters of modernity. The investigation extends beyond a simplistic unipolar or bipolar worldview and argues that Russia’s stance is not merely counter-hegemonic against the West but also serves its imperialist aims as evidenced by its invasion of Ukraine.
Not Necessarily Existential Threats: Identity-Constitutive Role of the Foreign Policy Discourse on Distant Humanitarian Crises
Authors: CEYDİLEK Erdem
Published: October 2023

The depiction of identity in foreign policy analysis is typically presented as inherent or predetermined. However, discursive approaches within the field, particularly poststructuralism, have emphasized foreign policy discourse's influence on identity formation. The main aim of this paper is to elucidate the performative relationship between identity and foreign policy through a poststructuralist lens, even in situations that are not existential or geographically proximate crises. This study employs a critical discourse analysis methodology to examine the performative dynamics between foreign policy discourse by the Justice and Development Party (AKP) policymakers and officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) about distant natural disasters and the construction of the Turkish national identity. The study presents three primary findings: firstly, the AKP's foreign policy discourse recognizes the Indonesia and Pakistan disasters as significant events, in contrast to the case of Haiti; secondly, this discourse constructs a homogenous Turkish identity; and thirdly, this homogeneous Turkish identity qualifies by several signifiers and is distinguished from external others.

Published: October 2023

Sağlıklı bir biçimde işleyen asker-sivil ilişkilerinin oluşması için gerekli başlıca unsurlardan biri polis ve ordu arasındaki iş bölümüdür. Kamu güvenliğinin sağlanmasında askeri personelin kullanılması asker-sivil ilişkileri üzerinde olumsuz etki yaratmaktadır. Buna rağmen, ordular her zaman iç güvenlik meselelerine dâhil olmuştur. Demokratik veya demokratikleşmekte olan ülkelerdeki ordular örgütlü suçla savaşım, kalkışmaların bastırılması ve terörizmle mücadele amacıyla ülke sınırları içerisinde kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışma, iç güvenlik ile ilişkili askerin göreve çağrılmasına dair yasaları ve askerin kullanımının nasıl işlediğini analiz etmek niyetindedir. Meksika, Türkiye, Fransa ve Birleşik Krallık örneklerinin karşılaştırmalı analizi üzerinden çalışma, orduların iç güvenlik alanına dahil olmasının mikro ve makro düzeydeki nedenlerini anlamak niyetindedir. Karşılaştırmalı analizin gösterdiği üzere, yerel veya küresel terörizm ordunun içeride kullanımı için bir fırsat penceresi açmaktadır. Ancak, güvenlik aygıtının yapısı ve asker-sivil ilişkileri örüntüsü, her ikisi de ordunun içeride kullanımının seviyesi üzerinde kayda değer bir etkiye sahiptir.
J.K. ROWLING E TRANSFOBIA: UMA ANÁLISE DAS DIMENSÕES DA COMPETÊNCIA MIDIÁTICA NO ATIVISMO FÃ NO TWITTER
Authors: Martins Vanessa , Sigiliano Daiana
Published: October 2023

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar as dimensões da competência midiática presentes nos conteúdos publicados pelos fãs da saga Harry Potter e/ou da autora J.K. Rowling no Twitter. Os tweets integram o contexto da indexação #RIPJKRowling, que surgiu a partir de posicionamentos transfóbicos da autora. O estudo parte das dimensões da proposta teórico-metodológica de Ferrés e Piscitelli (2015) sobre a competência midiática e tem como foco as dimensões Ideologias e valores, Linguagem e Estética. Conclui-se que os fãs defendem seus posicionamentos de forma pouco crítica. Percebe-se, ainda, que há uma mobilidade de defesa da saga Harry Potter baseada principalmente na nostalgia dos fãs.

Published: October 2023

Nesta pesquisa, de caráter qualitativo, objetivamos apresentar as construções feitas por 11 sujeitos pertencentes ao fandom ARMY sobre os significados do “ser fã” presentes em suas vivências. Através da realização e análise de entrevistas semiestruturadas, obtivemos três categorias que traduziram suas representações: Afetos, Transformação e Identificação. Percebemos que as falas indicam um apoio desses sujeitos no grupo pelos afetos que os une, estando relacionados tanto ao fandom quanto ao artista. Assim, tem-se o sentimento de pertencimento e acolhimento, que perpassam as identificações entre indivíduos, constituindo o que conhecemos enquanto comunidade e que se desenvolve visando uma transformação social.

Published: October 2023

O presente estudo teve como objetivo identificar perfis de gamers na graduação da Escola Superior de Propaganda e Marketing de São Paulo. Tomando como base a pesquisa Gamer Segmentation™, realizada pelo instituto holandês Newzoo, que apresenta nove perfis/personas que compõem o mercado mundial de games na atualidade, aplicamos uma survey online buscando entender – a partir desse estudo – quais os tipos de consumidores de games que são mais proeminentes no ambiente da faculdade ESPM. Como recorte para este projeto, aplicamos um questionário estruturado quantitativo em turmas que cursam disciplinas relacionadas ao universo dos games: Game Essentials (no curso de Sistemas de Informação), Ciclos de Produção 5 – Projeto de Game (no curso de Cinema e Audiovisual) e E-Sports e o Ecossistema Gamer (disciplina eletiva que congrega estudantes de todos os cursos da faculdade ESPM); no intervalo de duas semanas obtivemos 96 questionários respondidos e pudemos compreender alguns aspectos fundamentais de como é o perfil do consumidor de games no âmbito em questão. Indo além, por meio deste estudo, foi possível compreender questões de consumo midiático relacionado aos games, consumo de produtos do universo gamer e que tipos de perfis de jogadores/consumidores de games temos na faculdade. O estudo a seguir, além de mostrar um panorama desta robusta indústria, também sinaliza alguns caminhos de conteúdo que podem ser abordados ou aprimorados nas disciplinas em questão.
A percepção de analistas ambientais do Ibama acerca das limitações dos estudos de Impacto Ambiental (EIA/RIMA) no âmbito do licenciamento ambiental brasileiro
Authors: Rodrigues Nikolas Gebrim , Almeida Alexandre Nascimento de
Published: October 2023

O EIA/RIMA é exigido no licenciamento ambiental de empreendimentos com impactos ambientais significativos. No entanto, um dos principais problemas do processo de licenciamento ambiental é a baixa qualidade dos estudos ambientais, levando a demora e/ou expedição de licenças ambientais precárias. Como reflexo desse problema, encontra-se em discussão o projeto de lei nº 3.729/04 conhecido como o novo licenciamento ambiental. O objetivo do trabalho é analisar as deficiências dos Estudos de Impactos Ambientais (EIAs) e dos Relatórios de Impactos Ambientais (RIMA). Para atingir o objetivo foi enviado questionários eletrônicos para os analistas ambientais do Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Naturais Renováveis (IBAMA) a fim de avaliar a sua percepção a respeito das deficiências dos EIA/RIMAs. Como método para análise dos dados utilizou-se o teste não-paramétrico de Mann-Whitney. Conforme os analistas consultados, os estudos ambientais apresentam pontos a serem melhorados, destacando como os mais críticos: considerações sobre áreas alternativas ao empreendimento, aspectos relacionadas a complexidade e incertezas do processo de licenciamento, baixa qualidade na avaliação dos impactos ambientais e dos estudos em geral. A partir dos resultados, conclui-se que projeto de lei nº 3.729/04 e as suas alterações, que visam instaurar um novo processo de licenciamento ambiental, não abordam de forma consistente as principais deficiências encontradas neste estudo. A realização de estudos ambientais precários dificulta a sua avaliação, provocando morosidade no processo de licenciamento ambiental. Não só a gestão pública é prejudicada, também o meio ambiente e a sociedade.

Published: October 2023

Majoriti masyarakat Islam pada hari ini melihat dimensi wakaf dalam sudut yang sangat terhad kepada amalan keagamaan semata-mata.  Keadaan ini tidak menghalang berlakunya peningkatan dalam amalan berwakaf seperti wakaf tanah, wakaf tunai, hotel wakaf, saham wakaf, hospital wakaf dan universiti wakaf.  Walau bagaimanapun ekonomi umat Islam di Malaysia masih lagi tidak mencapai tahap yang membanggakan.  Isu kepercayaan masyarakat terhadap institusi agama seperti institusi pengurusan wakaf masih lagi diperdebatkan.  Sehubungan dengan itu, tahap kefahaman masyarakat terhadap definisi waqaf serta hubungannya dengan kepercayaan terhadap institusi pengurusan waqaf perlu dikaji.  Metodologi kajian yang digunakan adalah berdasarkan kaedah kuantitatif berbentuk deskriptif dan regrasi .  Borang soal selidik telah diedarkan di kalangan masyarakat Malaysia di mana sebanyak 500 data telah diperolehi dan dianalisa.  Hasil kajian mendapati bahawa tahap kefahaman masyarakat terhadap konsep waqaf berada di tahap tinggi dengan nilai min = 4.07 dan sisihan piawai = 0.915.  Kajian juga mendapati terdapat pengaruh hubungan yang signfikan antara kefahaman masyarakat terhadap definisi wakaf dengan kepercayaan terhadap organisasi pengurusan wakaf.  Dapatan daripada kajian ini boleh menjadi rujukan ramai pihak dalam membantu meningkatkan lagi kredibiliti, imej dan pembangunan institusi wakaf pada masa hadapan.
 
The majority of Muslims today view the dimension of waqf in a very limited angle to purely religious practices. This situation does not prevent an increase in waqf practices such as land wakaf, cash wakaf, wakaf hotels, wakaf shares, wakaf hospitals and wakaf universities. However, the economy of Muslims in Malaysia has not yet reached a level of pride. The issue of community trust in religious institutions such as waqf management institutions is still being debated. In this regard, the level of community understanding of the definition of waqf and its relationship with the belief in waqf management institutions need to be studied. The research methodology used is based on descriptive and regression quantitative methods. Questionnaires were distributed among the Malaysian community where a total of 500 data were obtained and analyzed. The results of the study found that the level of community understanding of the concept of waqf is at a high level with a mean value = 4.07 and standard deviation = 0.915. The study also found that there is a significant relationship between the community's understanding of the definition of wakaf with the belief in the organization of wakaf management. The findings from this study can be a reference for many parties in helping to further enhance the credibility, image and development of waqf institutions in the future.

Faktor tersebut ialah bantuan modal, ilmu pengetahuan mengenai keusahawanan, sokongan dan bantuan daripada ahli keluarga dan rakan-rakan asnaf.  Sehubungan itu, selain daripada galakan agar masyarakat terus memberi peluang kepada usahawan asnaf untuk mengubah kehidupan mereka, satu kajian emperikal dengan lebih mendalam juga perlu dilaksanakan untuk mngukuhkan lagi hasil dapatan tersebut.
 
The field of entrepreneurship has a high potential to change the socio -economic conditions of society and the country. For the sake of improving the socio -economy of the family, the asnaf group is also no exception in venturing into this field. Zakat is seen to be able to help the asnaf group towards producing successful asnaf entrepreneurs.

This study is a review of the literature highlights systematically related to the factors that can influence the success of entrepreneurs among asnaf in Malaysia. This survey found that external and internal factors play an important role on the success of asnaf entrepreneurs. The factors are capital assistance, knowledge of entrepreneurship, support and assistance from family members and asnaf friends. In this regard, apart from encouraging the community to continue to provide opportunities for asnaf entrepreneurs to change their lives, a more in -depth empirical study should also be conducted to further strengthen the findings.

The existence of mosques in Islamic history proves how the development of science became a symbol of the greatness of a civilization. Lifelong Learning (LPH) is a process of acquiring knowledge, skills and competencies either formally or informally based on experience and training. However, not all institutions are ready to change their approach to increase competitiveness and also the appreciation of knowledge in life. The study shows that the factors of leadership and good relations with the community have an impact on the change of mosque institutions, depending on the atmosphere such as the existence of goals, organizational structure, energy resources and organizational culture. The mosque institution is a suitable place to generate thoughts and appreciation of Islam by empowering the internal and external potential of a member of the community. The research that will be conducted aims to find answers about the level of awareness and involvement of the community in the activities carried out by the mosque. This study uses a qualitative research design and is supported by quantitative research findings. A total of 90 respondents from three mosques were selected to answer the survey questions and analyzed using the SPSS program to see the achievements from a percentage point of view. This data was then analyzed using ATLAS.ti to produce descriptive and interpretive reported themes and categories. The findings of the study show several factors that influence PSH, namely: management, learning activities, leadership, support and community relations as well as knowledge culture.

Community concerns about persons with disabilities in mosques have not been adequately addressed. This is based on a survey conducted in 2018. Respondents for this study were selected using a targeted sampling method consisting of 328 Klang Valley respondents. The study showed that community and disabled groups' perception of mosque facilities was moderately high, averaging 3.39. Therefore, the facilities provided by mosque facilities can continue to be improved, for example by displaying subtitles on television screens for sermons and Friday prayer lectures. Through verbal and non-verbal communication, it is hoped that the results of this study will make the community aware of the treatment of persons with disabilities in mosque facilities, both formal and informal. Few people with disabilities have the opportunity to attend mosques, but communities need to be sensitive to the needs of people with disabilities, especially when conducting obligatory prayers and Friday prayers.

Urban environments with high industrialization are infested with hazardous chemicals and airborne pollutants. These pollutants CO, O3, SO2, NO2, and PM can have devastating effects on human health, causing both acute and chronic diseases such as respiratory infections, lung cancer, and heart disease. Air pollution monitoring is vital to warn citizens of the health risks associated with exposure to high concentrations of these criteria pollutants. This study designed a low-cost IoT monitor to measure concentration levels of criteria pollutants emitted from transportation sources within Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology environs. Three monitoring sites, KNUST Tech junction, Ayeduase gate junction and KNUST campus junction, were identified as the locations within the proximity of the university for the deployment of the monitor. Hourly and mean daily CO, NO2, O3 and SO2 concentrations at each of the three sites were measured for a week using the IoT monitor, when students were in school and when students were on vacation. The average daily CO, NO2 and O3 concentrations measured at the selected locations when school was in session and during vacation were presented on histogram. The mean weekly concentrations of CO, NO2 and O3 were also estimated as 13.2ppm, 0.277ppm and 0.106ppb respectively at KNUST Tech junction; 10.1ppm, 0.254ppm and 0.110ppb respectively at Ayeduase gate junction; and 8.0ppm, 0.415ppm and 0.100ppb respectively at the KNUST campus junction when school was in session. The results show that the concentrations of all the pollutants were higher and exceeded the EPA standards except for CO at KNUST Campus junction monitoring site. These high levels of emissions are an indication of a health concern for the students at the university and university authorities can device means of curbing it.

Businesses must be innovative in the current "knowledge-based economy" if they intend to create and maintain a competitive advantage over rivals. The adoption of big data analytics (BDA) is thus revolutionary for precise decision-making and top performance in the present industrial environment. BDA application has attracted interest particularly due to the prospects and benefits that may be realized from its utilization in both academic and practical circles. Nevertheless, its adoption in small and medium-sized (SME) businesses is unknown thus far, prompting this study. To determine the determinants influencing SME preparedness to adopt BDA, the current study used the Technology Organization Environment (TOE) framework. The results supported the positive effects of BDA adoption on organizational marketing and financial performance in SMEs. Hence, understanding the factors influencing BDA acceptance enables managers to undertake the right initiatives, which are essential for its successful implementation. The outcomes also render it possible for BDA service providers to draw in and spread its prevalence among SME businesses.
The association between nursing students’ perceptions of their clinical reasoning ability and their background of clinical experience: A cross-sectional correlation study
Authors: Chan Alice
Published: October 2023

Background and objective: Nursing students tend to show poor clinical reasoning skills and incompetence in clinical performance. This study aimed to explore nursing students’ perceptions of their clinical reasoning ability in relation to their different background of academic program and clinical experience.Methods: A cross-sectional correlation study was conducted in a private tertiary professional training institute. Nursing students (n = 508) were surveyed with demographic details and a self-reported Nurse Clinical Reasoning Scale (NCRS) questionnaire about their perceptions of clinical reasoning in relation with their clinical experience.Results: Descriptive statistic, parametric analyses of variance, and Pearson’s correlation coefficients were used to determine the relationships between variables. The mean NCRS score was lower for paid student nurse externs (49.22 ± 9.2) than for participants who were not paid student nurse externs. The mean NCRS scores differed significantly between the different clinical placements that nursing students last experienced (F = 5.41, p ≤ .001), as well as between students of various academic programs (F = 11.88, p ≤ .001), with students of the sub-baccalaureate level nursing program showing the highest score (53.04 ± 10.48), followed by those of the accelerated baccalaureate level nursing program (52.93 ± 7.67) and those of the baccalaureate level nursing program (48.82 ± 10.11). The mean NCRS score showed a weakly positive, but significant, correlation with the attendance of pre-clinical training, r(506) = .12, p = .009. The free-text surveys provided rich information concerning nursing students’ preferences for future pre-clinical training.Conclusions: Different academic backgrounds and clinical experiences influence nursing students’ clinical reasoning competence. Strategies are needed to motivate earlier clinical preparedness and caring attitudes which are essential attributes of a nursing student before their exposure to real patients.

The highest cost of beef and chicken meat justifies higher consumption of fresh sausage products, especially linguiça, due to their easy preparation and affordability for consumers, making necessary an evaluation of sanitary hygienic conditions of these products. The objective was to investigate the presence of pathogens such as Salmonella spp., coagulase-positive Staphylococcus, thermotolerant coliforms, Escherichia coli and Campylobacter spp. in artisanal and inspected fresh pork sausages. It was found that 12% (6/50) of the artisanal sausage samples were contaminated with Salmonella spp., 58% (29/50) presented coagulase-positive Staphylococcus levels above the acceptable limits for consumption and 76% (38/50) presented thermotolerant coliform levels above the acceptable limits. In sausage samples produced under inspected conditions, 6% (3/50) were contaminated with Salmonella spp., 24% (12/50) presented thermotolerant coliform levels above the acceptable limits, 2% (1/50) presented enteropathogenic E. coli. None samples showed coagulase-positive Staphylococcus counts above the limits, or presence of Campylobacter spp. Sensitizing traders and consumers about the importance of inspection service in food of animal origin is urgent for a sanitary acceptable production, since foodborne diseases continue to be a public health problem.

Published: October 2023

Peripheral nerve injuries due to mass effect from bony lesions can occur when the nerve exists in an anatomically constrained location, such as the common peroneal nerve at the fibular head which passes into the tight fascia of the lateral leg compartment. We report a case of a pediatric patient who developed a common peroneal nerve palsy secondary to an osteochondroma of the fibular head and describe the clinical evaluation, radiographic findings, and surgical approach. Rapid diagnosis and nerve decompression after the onset of symptoms restored full motor function at the 8-month postoperative mark.
The image artistry of VR film “Killing a Superstar”
Authors: Wang Ruocun , Hua Nan
Published: October 2023

The purpose of this article is to take “Killing a Superstar” as a typical example, to denmonstrate how VR technology generates VR film via virtualizing 3D world from aesthetic perspective, and to give a critical reflection of VR film. The article includes three parts. The first part is about how the film utilizes VR as a technical premise for the implement of interactive narrative, constructing the audio-visual space with panoramic photography, and generating the virtual world with digital programs. Its interactive mode renders human-computer dialogue feasible, and realizes the connection between human and virtual reality with VR playback equipment. The second part is carried out under a further analysis of the artistic dimension of the film. In this section, it’s pointed out that the active narrative perspective of the audience, the multilinear narrative structure of time and space, the embodied and remote experience of perception, and the prominent guiding narrative processing, are all combined together for the sake to present interactive narrative art expression of virtual world. And the final part tries to reflect and evaluate on VR film in a broader vision. From both technical and artistic viewpoints, VR film is a breakthrough and innovation compared to traditional film model, although it surely has some drawbacks and limitations. If it can be considered more in a sense of establishing interactable virtual world then stroytelling, it is likely to develop into a more significant VR image art in the future.

Published: October 2023

Aim: An abnormal condition resulting from the absence or improper functioning of an organ in the body is called physical disability. Individuals with physical disabilities face mobility phobia and pain throughout their lives. Based on this hypothesis, this study was conducted to evaluate kinesiophobia and pain levels in physically disabled individuals.
Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on 100 individuals with neurological and orthopedic disabilities between the ages of 10-83. The Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale and McGill-Melzack pain questionnaire were administered to the individuals and their kinesiophobia and pain levels were evaluated.
Results: As a result of the study, it was observed that the majority of the individuals' pain was localized in the trunk (12.27% in the head, 33.74% in the trunk, 23.31% in the upper extremities, 30.67% in the lower extremities), they described the pain as tiring, and they were afraid of pain recurrence.
Conclusion: As a result of the study, it was determined that individuals with physical disabilities face challenges related to pain in their daily lives and have concerns about experiencing pain again. Based on these findings, further research should be conducted to explore effective strategies for managing pain in this population. We believe that such research will contribute to the broader body of knowledge in this field.
Facial feminization surgery: Current Google trend analysis
Authors: Okyay Mehmet
Published: October 2023

Aim: This paper aims to present the most popular facial feminization-related terms and the last five years' trends for facial feminization surgery (FFS).
Materials and Methods: Relative Search Volume (RSV) data for global searches conducted between 2018 and 2022 using the search terms "Facial Feminization Surgery," "Facial Feminization," "FFS Surgery," and "Transgender Face" were collected using Google Trends. These four search terms related to facial feminization were compared based on their RSV data. Additionally, the RSV data for the past five years was analyzed to identify year-by-year trends in FFS.
Results: The ‘Facial Feminization Surgery’ term was found to be a more searched one than the others with an average of 28.64 (p<0.001). According to our study, within the last five years, FFS terms significantly increased overall (p<0.001).
Conclusion: Recent literature and our study revealed that ‘Facial Feminization Surgery’ is the main term of FFS-related searches. Future studies on FFS trends should use this term for Google’s ‘Autocomplete’ function. When the RSV data and PubMed database compared, the continuously increasing trend of the FFS within the recent studies and our paper point to the attention of gender-affirmation surgery providers to present more content for facial feminization candidates to improve academic and public knowledge. Our findings also aware us of the increasing need for perioperative healthcare providers for the social preparation and management of both transgender and cisgender women. To reveal future global search behaviors for FFS and to keep marketing strategies up to date our methodology might follow periodically. Future clinical studies are needed to reveal trends between facial feminization procedures.
