Published: December 2023

In the contemporary retail landscape, understanding the intricate relationships between promotional methods, service quality, and customer satisfaction is imperative for businesses striving to navigate a competitive environment. This research, conducted at Galvalum Store, contributes to the broader discourse on retail management and marketing by investigating the specific dynamics at play within this unique retail setting. The empirical analysis reveals that, at the Galvalum Store, promotion does not exhibit a statistically significant effect on customer satisfaction. Conversely, the study establishes a robust and statistically significant relationship between service quality and customer satisfaction at the Galvalum Store. Furthermore, the simultaneous effects of promotion and service quality on customer satisfaction are analyzed, revealing that both variables collectively impact customer satisfaction. The coefficient of determination, while indicating a moderate predictive power of 63.2%, suggests that there may be additional variables influencing customer satisfaction that warrant further exploration. The study recommends incorporating qualitative methods, such as customer surveys or interviews, to provide contextual insights and enrich the quantitative findings. In conclusion, this research contributes to the understanding of customer satisfaction dynamics at the Galvalum Store, shedding light on the specificities of promotional and service-related influences. The findings offer actionable insights for businesses seeking to optimize their retail strategies and enhance customer satisfaction in a dynamic and competitive market environment.

Authors: ÇAKIR Rasim Can
Published: December 2023

Tüzel kişilerde kanun ve kuruluş belgeleri uyarınca bulunması zorunlu organlar, tüzel kişinin fiil ehliyetini kazanması için gerekli unsurlarıdır. Kuruldukları anda hak ehliyetini kazanan tüzel kişiler, bu organlarının teşekkül etmesiyle de fiil ehliyetine sahip olurlar. Nitekim tüzel kişiler iradelerini organları vasıtasıyla oluştururlar ve dış dünyaya karşı yine organları aracılığıyla iradelerini tecelli ettirirler. Ancak kimi hallerde kanunen organ vasfı olmayan kişiler, tüzel kişi organı olarak hareket ederek tüzel kişi adına hukuki işlemler ve eylemler gerçekleştirmektedir. Bu durumda meydana gelecek hukuki sorumluluğun tartışılması ve boyutlarının tespiti için “fiili organ” kavramına ihtiyaç duyulmuştur.

Çalışmada tüzel kişiler bakımından organ kavramı izah edildikten sonra anonim şirket yönetim kurulunun niteliği ele alınmıştır. Sonrasında fiili organ kavramı ve ortaya çıkış sebeplerine değinilmiştir. Çalışmanın son bölümünde ise Türk hukukunda fiili organ kavramı ve fiili organ sorumluluğunun tespitinde kullanılan unsurlar tartışılarak İngiliz içtihat hukukunun fiili organ kavramına bakışı sunulmuştur.

Mortality from Diseases of the Circulatory System in Europe and the Mediterranean Connected with Space Energetic Alpha Particles?
Authors:   Trakia University, Stara Zagora, Bulgaria, Takuchev Nikolay
Published: December 2023

In the present work, a dangerous phenomenon for mankind is described, increasing the mortality from the most deadly diseases on the planet – circulatory system diseases, in particular, the deadly ones of ischemic heart diseases. In the joint analysis of data from satellites in orbit around the Earth and from the health statistics sources EUROSTAT, it became clear that, by some mechanism, streams of positively charged solar particles with high energy entering the Earth's orbit increase mortality from circulatory system diseases. The annual increase is by an average of 5% to 15% in a zone of maximum risk in the Northern Hemisphere, parallel to the equator and bounded by the parallels of 30° and 50° north latitude. The dates are given when the risk of a vascular accident is maximum depending on the latitude of the place in the Europe and Mediterranean area. During the day, the risk of a vascular accident is maximum around local noon. In this regard, it is perhaps not a coincidence that in the Mediterranean region, a midday break is practiced indoors ("siesta").
An Unusual Case of Mixed Superficial and Adenoid Basal Cell Carcinoma in a 57-year-old Filipino Female
Authors:   Resident Physician, Department of Dermatology, Research Institute for Tropical Medicine, Research Drive, Alabang, Muntinlupa, Philippines, A Pangilinan Angeli Elaine
Published: December 2023

Introduction: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common cutaneous malignancy worldwide often occurring in sun-exposed areas. While the nodular variant accounts for the majority of cases, the adenoid type is extremely rare, comprising about 1.3% of all BCCs. Contrary to the typical presentation of BCC, adenoid BCC features a large sized lesion and a tendency to involve non-sun exposed areas such as the trunk. This case study presents a unique form of mixed superficial and adenoid BCC in a 57-year-old Filipino female. Case Report: A 57-year-old female presented with a 2-year history of a slowly enlarging bluish-black plaque with rolled borders on the left flank with noted bleeding, pain, and pruritus. Dermoscopy revealed arborizing vessels, leaf-like structures, blue gray globules, and white streaks, consistent with BCC. Histopathology showed a diagnosis of a superficial and adenoid type of BCC. Conclusion: Encounters with unusual forms of cutaneous carcinoma may arise in dermatologic practice. Dermoscopy serves as a powerful tool in identifying suspicious lesions and a pre-operative biopsy is done to correlate with the clinical diagnosis. Hence, the dermatologist will be able to decide the appropriate treatment option based on the clinical presentation and histopathologic type.

This paper examined the security challenges and control measure in six (6) college of education libraries in North-East, Nigeria. Survey research design was employed. Questionnaire was the instrument used for data collection. Frequency and percentages were the statistical tools used for data analysis. The population and sample consisted of of 20 staff (librarians, library officers and library assistants) from the six colleges used for the study. Results from the study revealed absence of the use of information communication technology (ICT) to safeguard library collection as a results of poor power supply; that both print and electronic materials are targets of crime in libraries, with non-return of library materials, theft and mutilation constituting security challenges in these libraries. It was also discovered that various methods were adopted for stealing and mutilation of library materials such as ripping off book page(s), removing the book jackets, and hiding of books under their clothes and in pockets. It was recommended that photocopy service should be provided to enable the library users to photocopy books that are few in the library; that managements should provide multiple copies of materials to meet the information needs of their users.

Organizational Ambidexterity and Resilience: Moderating Effect of Transformational Leadership
Authors: Zhaxylyk Saya
Published: December 2023

Businesses are still learning how to cope with system stress that overwhelmed the whole world during the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) in 2007-2008, COVID-19 pandemics in 2020, and other crises. Thereby, enterprises will be able not only to deal with uncertainty, that is becoming a “new standard”, but to benefit from it. As a result, the focus of the leaders has shifted from short-term, operational continuity to resilience. Earlier research suggested organizational ambidexterity as one of its antecedents and key factors for firms’ long-term survival and prosperity. However, little is known about the leadership role in ambidexterity literature. Most of the previous research were conducted in developed countries and placed emphasis on conceptual studies.  Thus, the main purpose of this study is to statistically examine the moderating effect of transformational leadership in the relationship between organizational ambidexterity and resilience using a sample of 323 usable questionnaires gathered from more than 80 Kazakhstani firms. The results of regression analysis statistically confirmed that organizational ambidexterity positively and significantly correlated with resilience. Further, results revealed the moderating role of transformational leadership in the linkage above. The study came up with an unexpected finding that transformational leadership directly and significantly influences resilience. The primary practical implication of this study is that leaders realize the feasibility of their investments in developing ambidextrous capabilities in their organizations and, particularly, senior management, since it was statistically proven in this research that it leads to higher resilience.

Authors: Bektursyn Stalifa , Abdreyeva Sholpan , Akbar Imanaly
Published: December 2023

Different articles on gender studies in tourism were retrieved using Scopus, one of the most popular databases. The research articles are considered between 2003 and 2022. Scopus analyzer is used to get analysis results such as documents by year, source, country, etc. VOSviewer Version 1.6.17 is used to analyse different units such as co-authorship, co-occurrences, citation analysis, etc. Statistical analysis and network analysis show the maximum number of articles published in 2020 and 2022, with the United States contributing the most significant number of documents. The results also show that the number of publications was minimal in the first ten years, and the growth was uneven. Still, in the following ten years, the number of published articles gradually increased, especially in 2019, when the number of publications increased significantly. Researchers from the USA, UK and Australia publish nearly 40% of all articles worldwide, ahead of 48 other countries and territories. At the same time, the top three most productive universities from each of the top 10 countries belong to the three countries mentioned above. Gender research in tourism has been studied at the initiative of scientists from democratically developed English-speaking countries and some Western countries, and it can be said that mass interest has only been awakened since the IV World Women's Conference held in 2019. Network analysis of different parameters indicates that there is a lot of scope to contribute to further research in terms of Women's Status, Empowerment and Sustainability.
The Effects of Trade Related Sanctions on Russia on Kazakhstan’s International Trade in Goods
Authors: Moldashev Kairat
Published: December 2023

The aim of this study is to explore the effects of sanctions on the international trade of Kazakhstan using data from TradeMap database. The Russia-Ukraine conflict has brought instability to the broader Eurasian continent and significantly affected neighboring states. Kazakhstan and Russia share the second-longest international land border and both participate in the Eurasian Economic Union with a high level of economic integration. Given Kazakhstan's landlocked status, the country relies on Russian territory for its main export routes. Despite expectations of potential issues with oil and gas transportation for Kazakhstan due to sanctions on Russia, there was an increase in mineral exports from Kazakhstan in 2022, resulting in a positive trade balance. High energy prices and inflation in the EU at the start of the invasion led to the delay of oil and gas import bans by the bloc until late 2022. There is also evidence of sanction evasion by Kazakhstani companies, reflected in changes in the structure of exports to Russia. This has prompted visits by officials from sanctioning countries and increased monitoring. Overall, the conflict and subsequent comprehensive sanctions have created uncertainty for investors and require scenario-based long-term planning and additional compliance costs. It is recommended to improve awareness of local companies about the possibility of violating sanctions through corporate training and cooperation with business associations. This will help local businesses to prevent the risk of being subjected to secondary sanctions.

The results of the study are aimed at improving the identification of risks for making informed decisions. It delves into scientific achievements relevant to assessing business activity and nurturing entrepreneurial culture. Employing comparative analysis, the research examines domestic PPP practices, drawing insights from statistical data. The findings emphasize PPP's role in ensuring national economic competitiveness, with legislative improvements positively impacting growth. The analysis of foreign practices critically examines the evolution of public-private partnership (PPP) development in Kazakhstan by juxtaposing it with the experiences of leading nations. The United Kingdom has demonstrated successful partnership models based on transparency, clear terms, and mutually beneficial relationships, serving as an example for Kazakhstan in enhancing collaboration between the public and private sectors. The SWOT analysis identifies inefficiencies, stressing the importance of transparent project teams and systematic risk management. Sectoral insights highlight a decline in private sector involvement, emphasizing the need for regulatory improvements and risk reduction in PPP implementations. The study emphasizes PPP's indispensable role in Kazakhstan's socio-economic development, advocating for continuous reforms and advanced risk management. The proposed PPP project management algorithm aims to foster efficiency, address challenges, and stimulate economic activity, paving the way for sustainable infrastructure development.

Lexical and Pragmatic Discrepancies in Retranslating PRIDE AND PREJUDICE into Romanian. Case Study
Authors: Baicu Constantin Dănuț
Published: December 2023

The main line of comparative analysis within this study is to identify and explain (to the highest extent possible), some of the most scholarly relevant lexical and pragmatic discrepancies between three subsequent translations of Jane Austen’s novel Pride and Prejudice into Romanian. The focal points of inquiry are systematically centered on determining the level of efficiency and accuracy of each (re)translation in relation to specific Romanian linguistic principles and norms, as well as to universal knowledge of the source text. Additionally, by means of employing the terminological frame of reference and categorizing functions of the so-called Translation Modalities Method, each translation is placed onto either end of the translating continuum, that is more onto the domesticating or the foreignizing end. Ultimately, a global conclusion is drawn as to whether the (re)translations of Pride and Prejudice can indeed contribute to a better understanding of Jane Austen’s literary complexity and artistic subtleties in this particular case.
For Poetry's Sake: Resistance to Translation in the German Versions of Oscar Wilde's THE BALLAD OF READING GAOL
Authors: Hussain Amir
Published: December 2023

While Oscar Wilde’s The Ballad of Reading Gaol is frequently examined within the genre of prison writing, translations of the poem push one to consider the relevance of its aestheticism within the genre of poetry. This article comparatively examines three German-language versions of the poem by Emma Clausen, Wilhelm Schölermann, and Albrecht Schaeffer to show how the practice of poetry translation resists the source object, translating for poetry’s sake. Key refrains reveal individual translators embracing their own artistic aims to create more poetry, even as the source poem simultaneously resists translation in its own way. Consideration of the genre of poetry, or what Walter Pater describes as its formal “width, variety, [and] delicacy,” ultimately encourages one to follow an aesthetic model of translation, rather than an interpretive model such as that of Lawrence Venuti. This article also draws out the value of thinking about German translations of Wilde’s prison poem, which are consistently underexamined yet prolific in number, for situating the aestheticism of one of the most widely translated literary authors in modern times.
Functional Interdiscursivity and Linguistic Conventions in Neuronovels
Authors: Morariu David
Published: December 2023

This study aims to challenge, both theoretically and practically, the concept of genre in translation studies. First, starting from the conceptual delimitation and theoretical boundaries between text type, genre and register, this article presents the characteristics of these concepts and their applicability in relation to the translation process. Secondly, by exploiting the functionality of interdiscursivity and hybridisation of genres, the present analysis proposes a discussion of how the neuronovel fluidises the boundaries between literary genre and neuroscientific discourse through the “neurologisation” of vocabulary, style and narrative strategies, and of the particularities that the translation of neuronovels or literary neurotranslation reveals. The study concludes with a case study of the translation into Romanian of Jonathan Lethem’s novel Motherless Brooklyn (1999), focusing on the translation strategies of simple and complex vocal tics and on the translation difficulties imposed by the atypicality of narrative discourse told from the perspective of a character diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome.

Published: December 2023

The study was conducted in Tacurong National High School Barangay New Isabela, Tacurong City. The study used quantitative research to determine the details needed, using the survey questionnaire. The research design used in this study was descriptive statistics. Slovin’s formula determined the number of samples from the general population. This study utilized the random sampling technique by employing numerous straightforward cluster sampling approaches. On the other hand, the mean, standard deviation, frequency count, percentage distribution, and correlation were used to assess the study’s respondents’ responses. Based on the findings and conclusions of the study, the researchers present the following recommendations; in the level of implementation, the researchers found out that the school’s performance during the implementation of the modular learning platform was high as satisfactory, but it partly reflects the performance of the students. Thus, the curricularists must evaluate the integrated curricula and formulate a more effective aid of teaching using this study as the basis for better integration. The school must further focus on the student’s learning and come up with more effective strategies that will help the students to be more active and productive even with distance learning. Given that the cognitive skills development of the students was low as unsure, the researchers suggest that the Department of Education must focus on learner consultations for modular teaching approach-built confusion in identifying their learning capacities and this may result in low academic performance. Future researchers may further research large-scale and more specific studies aligned with this topic.

This literature review scrutinizes the interrelations between occupational stress, mental health, and the mediating and moderating roles of self-compassion and perceived peer support, respectively. It reveals that while occupational stress is exacerbated by factors like large class sizes and high stakes demands, self-compassion and peer support can serve as buffers, potentially mitigating its negative outcomes. The review suggests that self-compassion, emphasizing self-kindness and mindfulness, may mediate stress effects, whereas perceived peer support could moderate them, reinforcing the individual’s psychological resilience. The implications of these findings are profound, urging policymakers and school administrators to address the root causes of teacher stress and to support interventions that foster self-compassion and peer support networks. Recommendations include the development of stress reduction programs, self-compassion workshops, and initiatives to enhance peer support. The conclusions drawn underscore the urgent need to safeguard educators’ well-being, highlighting the pivotal role of internal and external support systems in shaping the educational landscape and the development of future generations.

Authors: EFEOĞLU Ebru
Published: December 2023

The Young’s modulus (E) is a very important parameter used in many engineering projects and in the petroleum industry. It is especially important for tunneling, mining and rock slope stability analysis. This parameter is determined by difficult experiments. In addition, cores must be taken for the experiment and the cores taken must be of high quality. The aim of the study is to estimate the Young’s modulus, which represents the basic mechanical property of rocks, using relatively easy-to-apply and low-cost methods. For this purpose, the multi-layer perception method was used. Input parameters of these meshes are Dry density, Water saturated density, Bulk density, Porosity, Water absorption, Ultrasound Pulse Velocity (UPV), Poisson ratio (v), Tensile strength (To), The uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) and The point load index (Is)' is Four different network models were created and the successes of these network models were compared using the 5-fold cross-validation method. As a result of the comparison, it was understood that the model 2 network was more successful. The Correlation coefficient values of the model were calculated as 95% in training and 84% in 5-fold cross validation.

Published: December 2023

Irrigating agricultural lands remotely using automated irrigation systems can mitigate water and energy wastage, reducing it to a minimum. This study aims to design an agricultural irrigation system that operates by remotely opening and closing solenoid valves. The envisioned solenoid valve comprises a wireless microcontroller, a power circuit, and a basic valve mechanism. The remote and automated irrigation system can monitor and receive commands for the connected solenoid valves through web services and a web interface. After every operation executed by the system, interfaces displaying the real-time status or historical operational states of the controlled solenoid valves are presented to the users. This system is orchestrated using a web server operating on a cloud server, serving as the system control center. Solenoid valves positioned at ten different points are integrated, facilitating real-time and programmable use based on user requests. The system uses a secured website, accessed via user passwords, as a communication interface to receive irrigation control requests. It offers the capability for multiple users to control the system simultaneously through the same interface. Ultimately, this research seeks to establish a secure, remote, and automated irrigation system based on the control and scheduling of low-cost solenoid valves via a web page.
Analyzing the causes of the Yemen crisis in the Middle East in the 21st century with a focus on the typology of the national interests of Iran, Arabia, and America in it (2015-2022)
Authors: TURK Kerem
Published: December 2023

The purpose of this study is to analyze the causes of the Yemen crisis by focusing on the national interests governing the relations between Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United States. If the cooperation or non-cooperation of actors over national interests does not lead to conflict, the national interests are parallel. If there are conflicts between them to achieve the national interest, they have conflicts of interest. If they cooperate in achieving national interests, they have a common national interest. And if the intensity of the conflict between actors is less profound than the conflicting national interest and they seek areas of influence for themselves, their national interests are of a discordant kind. Accordingly, the research raises the question of the causes of the Yemen crisis by focusing on the conflicting, parallel, common and discordant national interests of Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United States in the 21st-century Yemen crisis in the Middle East? By collecting documentary information and explanatory research methodology, Firstly, it sees the cause of the crisis in the common national interests of Saudi Arabia and the United States and sees al-Qaeda's security, energy, and counterterrorism as the triangle of the Yemen crisis, a handicap for the cause The second cause of the crisis is the discordant national interests of Iran and Saudi Arabia and considers the confrontation of The Discourse of Iranian Shia Islam and the Saudi Salafi Islamic discourse in the Yemen crisis as also disabled for the cause. And the last cause of the Yemen crisis is Iran's conflicting national interests with the United States, and its effect is to deter Iran from infiltrating the 21st-century Middle East Yemen crisis.
