Functional Models of the Sponsor-Agent Relationship in Proxy Warfare
Authors: Cîrdei Alin , Tudorache Paul , Ispas Lucian
Published: July 2023

Proxy wars are a form of confrontation whose origins are lost in the mists of history. In the 20th century and at the beginning of the 21st century, this type of war experienced a sharp development due to the changes that took place on the international scene. Due to the fact that the great powers avoided direct confrontation during the Cold War, for fear that this confrontation would degenerate into a new conventional or even nuclear world war, they chose to use proxy warfare as a pressure relief valve, a way to put the opponent in difficulty, to gain influence or even economic, political or other benefits. Proxy wars can take place both between states and between groups within a state, or between a terrorist group, paramilitary organisation, etc. and a state, and the common element is given by the fact that one or both of the parties benefit from external support, especially in the form of armaments, ammunitions, intelligence, expertise, advice from a sponsor of which it becomes an agent. In exchange for the sponsor's support, the agent offers him a series of advantages, influence, etc. The sponsor obtains strategic advantages without direct involvement, without exposing himself and without settling national and international image costs, while the agent is actively involved in combat operations, it is he who must ensure the achievement of objectives to satisfy both his own expectations and those of the sponsor.

Published: July 2023

Over the past few years, logistics has undergone important developments that have seen it evolve from a support function within a company to a cross-functional, cross-company function. The high complexity of the logistics function is increasingly leading industrial and commercial companies to outsource their logistics, thus creating a market for logistics services. Logistics providers and client companies are classified according to the extent to which the logistics function is outsourced or taken over by a third party in the following categories: “1 PL”, “2 PL”, “3 PL”, “4 PL”. The present paper is intended to be an analysis looking at the logistics market and the management of logistics activities in Romania during the crisis that brought major changes in all areas of activity, namely the Covid-19 pandemic. The general objective of this study is to analyze the logistics market in Romania and the effects caused by the pandemic. A questionnaire based on a quantitative analysis was used as a working tool. The questionnaire was distributed directly (online) using the Google Forms platform. The target group consisted of companies in this field of activity, and the actual completion was carried out by 70 senior employees of several logistics companies operating in Romania.

Authors: Porancea-Răulea Andreea Simina , Bătușaru Cristina Maria , Rădoiu Alina
Published: July 2023

University sustainability is a topical concept, which tries through complex approaches regarding the integration of the valences of the economic - social - environment, to create a new strategic model of adapting the organization to the environment and to a context characterized by change, dynamism, and innovation. Achieving sustainability at university level involves identifying methods and tools to underpin development strategies and through which the objectives specific to the functioning of each organization can be achieved. In an era marked by the intensification of the use of technology and digitalization of systems and processes used at the organization level, the question arises about the opportunity of digitizing them as a prospect of achieving sustainability at the organization level. Starting from this reality, the present paper aims to identify the extent to which at the level of a military university the valences of sustainability are known and harnessed in the processes taking place at its level. In this regard, a quantitative analysis was conducted, based on the completion of a questionnaire, which aimed to assess the perception of students who are studying at the bachelor programs organized at “Nicolae Bălcescu” Land Forces Academy in Sibiu, regarding sustainability and digitalization at the level of the organization.
Does the Integrated Reporting Influence the Financial Performance Within the Banking System? Case Study on Romanian Banks
Authors: Bogeanu-Popa Maria-Mădălina , Man Mariana
Published: July 2023

The banking sector, as compared to other sectors of activity, represents a level of credit risk or of credit quality, measured through the rate of unperforming loans. This paper has the purpose of analysing in what measure the integrated reporting (from the point of view of financial, environmental, and social dimensions) influences the financial performance of the banking entities in Romania. This study encompasses a sample composed of 19 presently active banking entities on the Romanian market which publish financial and non-financial reports, as part of the integrated reporting. To evaluate and determine the impact of each of the integrated reporting’s components on nonperforming loans, one referred to data analysis through multiple linear regression. The study’s results have demonstrated that the financial and environmental information influence the rate of nonperforming loans from the Romanian banking system. Regarding the social components of the integrated reports, these do not impact under any manner the banking system’s performance measured through nonperforming loans.

They are related to ensure the conditions for carrying out vocational training; search for possible solutions to overcome the weaknesses and strengthen the positive aspects of the human resources management system; compliance with a certain algorithm when evaluating the effectiveness of vocational training of employees; continuous investment in the development of the knowledge and skills of the employed, in accordance with the developed and designed vocational training programs; improving the forms of vocational training; exchange of experience and ideas from world practice on human resource management in the aviation industry.
Dexterity, Mobility and Flexibility, Essential Components in the Development of the Military Students’ Motor Skills
Authors: Stănciulescu Robert
Published: July 2023

Ensuring higher indices of development for the basic motor skills, essential components of the motor capacity, is an essential condition of performance in the specific activities carried out by the students in military educational institutions, but to fulfill this objective, activities to consolidate and perfect the body’s intermediary capacity are necessary, i.e. the improvement of the indices that characterize dexterity, mobility and suppleness. Therefore, the motor capacity is formed on the one hand by the basic motor qualities of the body, the coordination capacities, the intermediate capacities, as well as the basic motor skills and utilitarian-applicative skills. All these components have their particularly important role in motor activities; between them there is a strict conditionality link. The paper presents aspects and opinions regarding the body’s intermediary capacities and underlines the role of their development in the training, consolidation, development and improvement of motor qualities as well as of the motor skills and aptitudes, specific to ensuring the motor capacity of military students.

Authors: Marsha Azhar Nadhira
Published: July 2023

Penulisan ini dimaksudkan untuk mengetahui tentang dasar hukum dari Lembaga Perlindungan Konsumen Swadaya Masyarakat (LPKSM) serta bagaimana implementasi perannya sebagai salah satu instrumen yang berperan dalam memberikan program perlindungan kepada masyarakat yang memiliki posisi sebagai konsumen di dalam komoditas pasar global. LPKSM termasuk dalam lembaga non-pemerintah yang diakui di bidang perlindungan konsumen dan memiliki kesempatan untuk berperan aktif dalam mewujudkan perlindungan konsumen, sesuai dengan amanat Pasal 44 dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 8 tahun 1999 tentang Perlindungan Konsumen. LPKSM dalam fungsi pengawasannya berdasarkan pada pasal 10 dalam Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 58 Tahun 2001 tentang Pembinaan Dan Pengawasan Penyelenggaraan Perlindungan Konsumen. Implementasi dari amanat Undang-Undang kepada LPKSM, dalam beberapa tahun terakhir mengalami perbaikan meskipun masih jauh dari kata ideal. Pelaksanaan program penyuluhan mengenai perlindungan konsumen kepada masyarakat telah dilakukan dua pada tahun 2021 yang diikuti oleh 502 orang, dan berbagai bentuk advokasi dan pengaduan kepada stake holder mengenai kasus yang merugikan masyarakat sebagai konsumen sudah dilakukan. Namun, evaluasi dan perbaikan harus terus dilakukan, revisi substansi undang-undang yang masih tidak imbang dan masih menguntungkan bagi pihak pelaku usaha dan peningkatan kualitas SDM pengurus LPKSM harus jadi program prioritas untuk menyelesaikan permasalahan pemberian program perlindungan bagi konsumen di Indonesia.

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the sociocultural factors in 50-year-old users for Pap smears at the Ricardo Cruzado Rivarola de Nasca hospital during the period December 2021 - February 2022. Material and Methods: Observational, analytical, and prospective study. The study population is made up of 80 50-year-old users who attend the Ricardo Cruzado Rivarola hospital for Pap tests at the gynecology-obstetrics office and the sample is 67 users, selected by non-probabilistic sampling for convenience. Results: For the first analysis, in simple and multiple regression, it was found that women with high levels of knowledge had a 384% and 382% higher frequency of having ever undergone a PAP test compared to those with low levels of knowledge. Conclusions: The level of knowledge about the PAP has a relevant influence on having carried out a PAP; but also the women who had a high level were the ones who had the highest frequency of having done it. This added to the number of children; possibly because in the circles of women with children one of the topics to be discussed is about maternal health and within them the PAP.

PURPOSE. The article studies the issue of extinguishing live electrical equipment by means of automatic fire suppression systems (AFSS). The purpose of the work is to assess the possibility of personnel’s safe use of various types of automatic fire suppression systems when extinguishing live electrical equipment at power facilities. The authors analyze the statistics of transformer substation and cable duct fires in the Russian Federation within the period from 2018 to 2021 and regulations in the field of application of automatic fire suppression systems for extinguishing fires of live electrical equipment. A series of experiments was carried out to determine the leakage current when a fire extinguishing agent is supplied from AFSS to energized equipment. METHODS. To study the possibility of using AFSS in case of fires of live electrical equipment at power facilities, methods of analysis and experiment are used. FINDINGS. The first series of experiments was carried out on an automatic gas fire suppression system using halon 125 as a fire extinguishing agent. Extinction of B1 simulated fire sources filled with n-heptane was carried out. Over the whole experiment on the hand-operated starting device of the automatic system leakage current did not exceed the threshold non-perceptible value of 0.5 mA. The second series of experiments was carried out on a water spray automatic fire suppression system. The large spray angle of the nozzles prevented the entire amount of fire extinguishing agent from reaching the standard target; therefore, in order to obtain more accurate data, a new target sized 3 000×3,000 mm was manufactured. Spray nozzles with different k-factor values were investigated. The experiment made it possible to determine the values of leakage current on a pump unit body and spray nozzle. RESEARCH APPLICATION FIELD. The obtained experimental data indicate the possibility of safe use of water spray and gas automatic fire suppression systems to extinguish live electrical equipment. CONCLUSIONS. The results of the study can provide a substantiation for measures that exclude electric shock to facility personnel in case of using automatic fire suppression systems when extinguishing live electrical equipment.

Published: July 2023

A característica disruptiva e inovadora da Inteligência Artificial (IA) tem provo- cado uma miríade de benefícios e especulações em múltiplos setores da sociedade, em especial no militar. O presente artigo busca trazer à tona o debate das opor- tunidades e desafios que a IA pode promover em relação a ataques e à segurança no espaço cibernético. Com efeito, argumenta-se que essa nova modalidade de capacidade cibernética possui a característica de faca de dois gumes: se, por um la- do, o processamento rápido de grande volume de dados e o reconhecimento de pa- drões pela programação computacional podem ser grandes aliados na antecipação e combate de ameaças a redes, por outro, novas vulnerabilidades exigem cautela em sua operacionalização. Em termos metodológicos, foi realizada revisão biblio- gráfica e documental de abordagens sobre a interseção da inteligência artificial no ramo da segurança e defesa cibernética. Além disso, nosso arcabouço teórico debruça-se sobre alguns conceitos das Relações Internacionais, em especial o da Teoria da Balança Ofensiva-Defensiva Cibernética para elucidar como as capaci- dades dessa tecnologia podem influenciar na dissuasão e favorecimento da defesa em detrimento da primazia do ataque.
Iraq as a Lab: a Critique of the New American Way of War
Authors: Fischer Friedman Marcela , Ferabolli Silvia Regina
Published: July 2023

This paper analysis the evolution of the US force structure after 1975 in two core aspects: foreign policy and military modernization. Building on the works of Clausewitz (2003) and Mearsheimer (1981), we argue that a country's force structure should be based mainly on foreign policy considerations. The evolution of the US Army followed this logic until its defeat in Vietnam (1975), but this traumatic event precipitated reforms in the US military force before a proper reformulation of the country’s foreign policy objectives had been achieved. Therefore, these reforms created a "syndrome" that would deform and reform the US strategic culture inadequately. The new military doctrine, Air-Land Battle (ALB) was not oriented towards long-term political objectives, but rather by purely operational and tactical issues of combat, which proved harmful for the US interests in the long-run. Hence, we propose to analyze the Iraq Wars (1991-2003) as labs for this New American Way of War, the first empirical applications of ALB. We conclude by demonstrating that the disregard for post-war planning ended up forcing a prolonged and costly American involvement in the Middle East and damaging the country’s international image.

The purpose of this article is to map the participation of the Brazilian Navy (MB) in cooperation actions in the inter-agency environment at a time when contemporary society deals with a series of challenges, which cross its borders and endanger international and national security. Due to their great capillarity, the Armed Forces have a lot to contribute in facing these threats. The methodology uses an original database, created from November 2018. The survey covers the period from 2010 to 2020, analyzes 206 initiatives based on 15 variables, namely: actors, action, approach, year, month, source, report of the action, geographic distribution, region, modality, hierarchy/maturity, results, frequency, duration, and observation. Among the main results, it is noteworthy that MB carries out most of its cooperation actions in the Southeast region, followed by the North region. Regarding the modality, the Guarantee of Law and Order (GLO) actions and Exercises stand out. Most of the actions are punctual, which is consistent with the type of cooperation most performed, whose characteristic is to be temporary.

Published: July 2023

This study is a collaborative action research conducted by the director, a researcher, with teachers to change the observation documentation for teachers' understanding of play-centered play based on the 4th standard childcare curriculum. The study was conducted from May 2021 to January 2022. Through a collaborative action research, we examined what teachers have changed as they solved the observation documentation that they considered difficult in the play-centered curriculum. As a result of the collaborative action research, first, the principal and the teacher decided to face each other, and the principal, the researcher, supported and resolved the concerns of the participating teachers. Second, by finding the meaning of the observation documentation , the change in form, the realization of the importance of the process of reviewing the observation documentation, and the release of the burden of the observation documentation were made. Third, to see early childhood a play again, it is to learn the competence of infants and to rediscover infants' play. In the process of exploring observational documentation, I came to understand the play-centered curriculum. Through this collaborative action research, as teachers and researchers explore the method of recording observations documentation, the perspective of looking at infants and young children changes, which is meaningful in understanding the play-centered curriculum.

Authors: İBSAR Fikriye
Published: July 2023

Yabancılara Türkçe Öğretiminde dinleme süreci ölçülüp değerlendirilirken, uygulayıcılar tarafından seviyelere göre ölçme yöntemleri kullanılır. Kullanılan ölçme yöntemleri ile öğrencilerin dinleme becerisinin geliştirilmesi hedeflenir. Öğreticiler, öğrencilerin dinleme becerisi alanındaki gelişimlerini ölçmek için AOBM’de yer alan seviyelere göre dinleme becerisi yeterlilikleri, ölçüt alınarak hazırlanan sınavlar uygulanır. Yabancılara Türkçe öğretimi alanında öğrencilerin dinleme becerisini ölçebilmek için “Kur Sınavı, Seviye Belirleme Sınavı ve Türkçe Yeterlilik Sınavı” uygulanmaktadır. Bu sınavlarda dinleme becerileri ölçülüp değerlendirilirken dinleme bölümlerinde seviyeye uygun dinleme metinleri üzerinden ölçülmektedir. Çalışmada hem nicel hem nitel boyutları içeren karma yöntem kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada ilk önce nicel veri toplama araçlarından anket tekniği kullanılarak öğretmenlerin görüşleri alınmıştır. Sonraki aşamada ise nitel bir yöntem olan içerik analizi yapılarak dinleme sürecinin ölçülüp değerlendirilmesindeki aksaklıklar tespit edilmiştir. Bu araştırmanın amacı; Yabancılara Türkçe Öğretiminde Dinleme Sürecinin Ölçülüp Değerlendirilmesinde öğreticiler tarafından tespit edilmiş problemleri değerlendirmek ve çözümüne yönelik önerilerde bulunmaktır. Öğretmen görüşlerinden ve içerik analizlerinden elde ettiğimiz verilerle öğrencilerin dinleme hatalarının, kaynak kitaptaki dinleme etkinliklerinin yetersizliğinden, dinleme metinlerindeki kelime sayısı ve kelime çeşitliliğinin fazlalığından, dinleme metinlerinin öğrencinin seviyesine uygun olmamasından, öğreticinin dinleme sürecinde öğrenciyi pasif konumda tutmasından; dinleme öncesi, sırası ve sonrasında dikkat edilecek hususlara değinilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonunda dinleme süreci ölçülürken yaşanan sorunlara ilişkin değerlendirmeler yapılmış ve çeşitli öneriler sıralanmıştır. Ayrıca öğretmen değerlendirme yaparken öğrencilerin kelimeleri fonksiyonel kullanma durumuna, imla ilkelerinin kullanımına ve üslubuna dikkat etmelidir. Özellikle akraba Türk lehçelerinin temsilcileri olan öğrenciler kendi lehçelerindeki kelimeleri, deyimleri ve atasözlerini kullanarak yazma ve konuşmasına zenginlik getirirse öğrencinin bu özelliği öğretmen tarafından değerlendirilmeli ve hatalar varsa düzeltilmelidir. Öğrencilerin Türk diline teşviki ve imrendirilmesi bu değerlendirmelere önemli derecede bağlıdır. Öğretmen değerlendirmesiyle akraba Türk lehçeleri, Türkçeye katkı sağlamalıdır. Çünkü Türk edebi ve dilinin zenginlik kaynağı; yalnız Türkiye Türkçesinin ağızları değil Türk lehçesi de bu bağlamda önemlidir.
Gagauz edebi metinlerinde yemin ritüeline dair semantik bir analiz
Authors: DİLEK Leyla
Published: July 2023

Düşünce ve inanç atmosferindeki gizil gramatikal kodları simgeleyen yemin unsuru, karşı tarafı inandırma çabasıyla verilen güçlü bir söz verme eylemini karşılamaktadır. Bu otantik ritüel aracılığıyla inşa edilen güven ortamı, kutsal değerler ve insanüstü güçlerden dilenen yardımı niteleyerek, tinsel ve sosyal bildirişim mekanizmasının yapısal ipuçlarını belirgin kılmaktadır. Dolayısıyla inandırma işleviyle öne çıkan imgesel çağrışım; Gagauz insanının kutsiyet atfettiği, manevi gücüne inandığı, değer verdiği kavram, obje veya izleklerin tespiti hususunda önem arz etmektedir. Söz konusu hissel donanım vasıtasıyla, Gagauz dilinin vokabüler evreninden yansıyan sanatsal bileşim görünür kılınmaktadır. Çalışmada Gagauz edebi metinlerinden akseden yemin ritüeli ve bu evrensel olgunun estetik katmandaki retorik izdüşümü vurgulanmıştır. Betimsel önermeden hareketle, yemin göstergesine dair anlam grafiği yorumsal analiz tekniğiyle incelenmiştir. Araştırma dokusuna özgü teorik birimlerin veri tabanı semantik yörüngede tasarlanmış, doküman analizi faktörü esas alınmıştır. Çalışma metin bağlamında çözümlenen yemin odaklı sözcelerin anlam piramidinde desenlenen edebi tepkimeyi işaretlemiştir. Polisemi eksende oluşum sergileyen tasviri bileşimin, din kaynaklı olan/olmayan ya da beddua tarzındaki görüngülerle sesletildiği dikkati çekmiştir. Anlam yelpazesine dayanak yaratma gayretiyle modellenen yemin ifadesinin; sorumluluk üstlenme, karşıdakini inandırma, verilen sözün yerine getirilmesine yönelik etkiyi güçlendirme gibi amaçlara hizmet ettiği belirmiştir. Bir söz verme hareketi olarak imgelenen bu sanatsal bileşim, kutsalın şahitliğinde veya doğrudan kutsalın üzerine yapılan bir doğrulama işlemini sembolize etmiştir. Güven ortamı yaratmak amacıyla ant dizgesi kapsamında şekillenen ritüellerin semantik bağlamdaki açınımı, Gagauz yazınındaki estetik vurguyu perçinlemiştir. Böylelikle dilsel devinimin lirik düşlemini orijinal dizilimlerle etkin kılan bu sanatsal iletinin, Gagauz edebi düzlemine armonik bir yön çizdiği tespit edilmiştir.
Kargasabunu’nda Sözlü Kültürden Alınan İlhamın “Ekofolklor”a Dönüşümü
Authors: KURTULUŞ Meriç
Published: July 2023

19. yüzyılda halk bilimi disiplininin doğuşunu hazırlayan ilk çalışmalar kırsalda yapıldığı için folklorun araştırma sahası olarak köyler ve kasabalara odaklanılması gerektiğini varsayan bir yaklaşım, hem dünyada hem de Türkiye’de halk bilimi disiplininde yürütülen çalışmalarda uzun müddet hâkim bakış açısı olarak benimsenmiştir. Zaman içinde kentlerin hızlı bir biçimde büyümesi ve küreselleşmenin büyük kentlerde etkisini göstermesinden ötürü yerel kültürlerin yaşamasına karşı tehdit oluşturduğunun düşünülmesi sebebiyle önceden yayılma ve yaşama alanı “kırsal”la sınırlandırılan folklorun kentlerde kaybolduğu, kırsalda da unutulmaya başladığı algısı doğmuştur. Hâlbuki modern yazarların eserlerinde folklor unsurlarının onların kurgu dünyasını zenginleştirerek metinlere farklı bir derinlik kazandırdığı görülmekte, böylece hem folklorun hem de sözlü anlatı geleneğinin çeşitli tekniklerinin modern edebiyatın eserleri aracılığıyla gelecek nesillere aktarıldığı/hatırlatıldığı gözlemlenmektedir. Bilindiği üzere, modern Türk edebiyatında da hikâyelerinde ve/veya romanlarında eserlerini Türk folklorundan ilham aldığı unsurlarla besleyen başarılı yazarlar bulunmaktadır. Bu bildiride 1990 sonrası Türk öykücülüğünün öne çıkan yazarlarından Faruk Duman’ın 2023’te yayımlanan Kargasabunu kitabındaki hikâyelerde yazarın okurlarına tanıttığı/hatırlattığı halk bilimi unsurları tespit edilmiştir. Bunun yanı sıra, Duman’ın söz konusu kitaptaki hikâyeleri anlatı teknikleri açısından değerlendirilerek yazarın üslubunun bu hikâyelerde modern hikâyeden uzaklaşarak masal ve halk hikâyesi türlerine yaklaştığı, ancak üslubu sözlü edebiyat geleneğine yaklaşırken yazarın doğanın tahrip edilmesi gibi güncel meselelere dikkat çektiği, böylece aslında küresel bir sorunu yerel folklor unsurlarından ve sözlü kültürümüzden faydalanarak tartıştığı gösterilmiştir. Kargasabunu’nun modern insanın sözlü edebiyat geleneğine halen ihtiyaç duyduğunu gösteren bir öykü kitabı olduğuna dikkat çekilerek Duman’ın bu hikâyeler aracılığıyla okura hangi mesajları vermeye çalışmış olabileceği tartışılmıştır. Hikâyeler ekoeleştiri ve uygulamalı halk bilimi kuramlarından destek alınarak incelenmiştir. Çalışmanın sonunda Kargasabunu’nun güncel çevre sorunlarını Türk folklorunun ve sözlü edebiyatın çeşitli unsurları ve araçlarından destek alarak işlemesi sebebiyle ekofolklorik bakışı yansıtan bir eser olduğu anlaşılmıştır.
The Image of the Horse in Kazakh Poetry
Authors: TOKŞILIKOVA Gülnaz , ABDUL RAKHMANULY Abdulkarim
Published: July 2023

The horse was always highly important for Kazakh society, especially considering that Kazakhs have followed a nomadic lifestyle for thousands of years. This article discusses how the image and symbolism of the horse in Kazakh poetry have developed from the XIX century to the present, comparing it with the historical processes of this period. The influence of voluntary and involuntary changes, complex transformations, and tragedies in the cultural-historical and social-political life of the Kazakh nation in recent centuries on the depiction of the horse in poetry is assessed. To evaluate the change in symbolic values assigned to the horse in Kazakh poetry, this study employed the method of intertextual analysis and cultural-historical contextualization. In this article, the development path of the horse from a symbol of beauty and gallant, nobility and companionship to a metaphor of solid character and freedom is described and explained with fragments of Kazakh poetry. In addition, the study examines the variety of vocabulary, artistic tools, similes, and epithets in the Kazakh’s nomadic inheritance to describe the horse. The description of the horse in world poetry and its features and similarities in Kazakh poetry are compared. We posit that this research holds practical significance, with potential applications in literary and cultural studies. By enhancing comprehension of the literary and cultural landscape of Central Asia, our findings contribute to the advancement of knowledge in these respective fields.
Yüksel Pazarkaya’nın Ben Aranıyor adlı romanında kimlik (benlik) arayışı
Authors: GÜNGÖR Hasret
Published: July 2023

Sosyoloji, psikoloji, siyasi ve iktisadi bilimler, teoloji, antropoloji ve felsefe alanlarında olduğu kadar edebiyat dünyasında da önemli bir yere sahip olan kimlik (benlik) olgusu hem bireysel hem de toplumsal anlamda var olabilmenin ön koşulları arasında yer alır. Toplumsal bir varlık olan insan, kimliğini içinde yetiştiği çevrenin değer yargılarına, normlarına, diline, dinine, gelenek ve göreneklerine karşı geliştirdiği aidiyet bilinci içerisinde oluşturur. Kişi, hem kendini ve ait olduğu toplumu hem de öteki bireyleri ve toplumları bu kimlik aracılığıyla anlamlandırmaya çalışır. Birden fazla kimlik arasında kalan bireyler, “Ben kimim?” ve “Ben nereye aitim?” şeklinde bir sorgulama içerisine girerek bu belirsizlikten kurtulmak isterler. Çok kültürlü bir ortamda yetişen yazarlar da hiç şüphesiz içinde bulundukları mekânın ve zamanın sorunlarına eserlerinde yer vererek bireysel ve toplumsal farkındalığı oluşturup, okurlarını bu sorunlar karşısında düşünmeye, sorgulamaya teşvik eder ve daha bilinçli bir benlik inşasına hizmet ederler. Tam da bu noktada şair, yazar ve çevirmen Yüksel Pazarkaya da üniversite öğrenimine kadar Türkiye’de yaşamış ardından yüksek öğrenim için Almanya’ya göç ederek iki dil, iki toplum, iki kültür dolayısıyla da iki kimlik arasında kalmıştır. Ben Aranıyor adlı eserinde de Almanya’da yaşayan ve yıllar sonra ülkesine dönen Orhan karakteri aracılığıyla kimlik kavramı üzerine düşünmemizi ve sorgulamamızı sağlamıştır. Eserin ana karakteri Orhan eserin en başında anavatanına doğru bir yolculuğa çıkar ve tıpkı yeni doğan bir bebek misali yaşama sıfırdan başlayarak benliğini yeniden inşa etmeye çalışır. Bu çalışmada, anavatanında edindiği kimlik ile içinde bulunduğu egemen kültüre ait kimlik arasında kalan karakter aracılığıyla günümüz küresel dünyasının kaçınılmaz bir sonucu olarak ortaya çıkan çok kültürlü toplum yapısı ile kimlik sorunsalı arasında bir paralellik kurularak edebiyatın kimlik inşasındaki rolü mercek altına alınacaktır.

The improvement of living environment in homes and workplaces is also essential. Nowadays, many countries around the world have implemented many house models that apply natural ventilation to the house instead of artificial air conditioning system, because natural wind is better and also feels more comfortable. Therefore, the study of controlled natural ventilation architecture is necessary. In this paper, the author uses Ansys software, based on the finite volume method, to simulate the natural ventilation process for the office building of Viet Cuong company, Tan An city, Long An province.

Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are advanced composites whose properties are continuously variable according to their dimensions in one or more predefined directions. The application range of this material is becoming wider and wider, therefore, studies on the activity of functionally graded materials (FGMs) in high-temperature environments become more and more important and necessary. In this study, a mesh-free Radial Point Interpolation Method (RPIM) has been proposed to solve a coupled thermo-mechanical problem in functionally graded metal/ceramic plates. The most important advantage of this method is that the shape functions satisfy the property of Kronecker's delta function. Thus the essential boundary conditions are easily implemented as in the finite element method (FEM). The obtained results are compared with the reference ones from analytical solutions and finite element methods by commercial software COMSOL Multiphysics to verify the effectiveness and reliability of this method.

This paper aims to provide a solution to the mentioned problem, a way to optimize planning and the execution of maintenance, with the test size being 320 patient beds, by developing a 3-frame model using QFD (Quality Function Deployment) to create a priority assessment program. The priority score is based on risks, mission, and maintenance. Therefore, the traditional use of QFD can end up overridden prioritized decisions. To improve the original model, Fuzzy Logic is integrated into the model. The model helps identify essential criteria as well as optimize the budget required for maintenance. From there, it assigns priority scores and sorts the equipment based on them to create the most suitable maintenance schedule.

Durante la última década la agroindustria de la caña de azúcar ha mostrado un gran dinamismo al incrementar constantemente la producción de azúcar estándar y garantizar la autosuficiencia de este edulcorante en el país generando incluso excedentes para exportar. No obstante, aún en documentos oficiales se señala que tal agroindustria presenta un marcado atraso tecnológico e ineficiencia. El estudio se llevó a cabo en 2021. Este trabajo tiene dos objetivos: estimar la eficiencia técnica global por ingenio y descomponerla en eficiencia pura y eficiencia de escala, así como determinar el tipo de rendimientos a escala de cada ingenio azucarero. El método utilizado fue el análisis de datos envolventes y la elasticidad de escala. El periodo estudio fue la zafra 2009-2010 y se consideraron 54 ingenios para los que se contó con información desagregada. El principal hallazgo mostró que solo 21 ingenios (38.9%) tuvieron un desempeño óptimo pues operaron con rendimientos constantes a escala. Otros 28 ingenios (51.9%) operaron con rendimientos crecientes a escala y solo cinco ingenios (9.3%) operaron con rendimientos decrecientes a escala. Estos hallazgos fueron confirmados por las magnitudes de la elasticidad de escala de cada grupo de ingenios. La conclusión principal es que hace más de diez años había espacio para que los ingenios que operaban con rendimientos crecientes a escala fueran reestructurados en tamaño y administración de insumos sobre los que tienen control, lo cual habría permitido mejorar su desempeño global al obtener economías de escala y mejorar su eficiencia pura y por lo tanto, para la agroindustria de caña de azúcar como un todo.

Internet addiction is a growing addictive behavior and a major public health problem worldwide. Several psychological factors can contribute to the problematic use of the Internet. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of Internet Addiction (IA) in a sample of university students and to examine the relationship between IA, self-esteem, and attachment styles. The present study was a cross-sectional study, involving 135 students from the Faculty of Medicine of Monastir. The participants completed a questionnaire, which contained the socio-demographic data, the reasons for Internet use, the Young Cyberaddiction scale to seek IA, the Relationships-style-questionnaire-RSQ to assess attachment style, and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). The mean age of the students was 21.5 ± 1.9 years old. They were 112 (83%) females. The prevalence of Internet addiction was 23.7%. The average connection time was 3.5 ± 1.8 hours/day. The most frequent online activities were chat (online discussion, forums ...) in 94.8% of cases followed by download activities (78.5%), scientific research (75.6%), online games (23.7%), and online shopping (13.3%). IA was associated with school failure, alcohol use, online gaming, and low self-esteem. The majority of the participants (84.4%) in this study reported an insecure attachment style. Logistic regression analysis showed a strong association between IA and fearful attachment style. IA was frequent among students. Fearful attachment style was found to be a risk factor for IA. This study highlights the impact of relationships between child and their caregivers on the development of addiction.

In this study, a fruit recognition learning model was created in early childhood education based on Augmented Reality and digitalized teaching aids. Augmented Reality is a technology that embodies the merging of the real world (reality) and virtual world (virtual) where this technology is also known as Virtual Reality. The marker in the form of an image will be captured by the camera, processed and a 3D fruit animation will appear on the mobile screen. The purpose of this research is to produce a fruit recognition learning model in PAUD TK Aba Sukoharjo Kalasan based on Augmented Reality and to create digitalized teaching aids. By using Augmented Reality the application can be educational and attract interest in children's curiosity. The method used in this study is the Multimedia Development Life Cycle (MDLC). The fruit recognition application has been applied to several child respondents. Based on research trials, before there was an application for interest in learning, children learned fruit recognition with a score of 73% with the predicate agreeing. The effect of positive trends on children to learn with augmented reality learning media is shown by a score of 81% of 30 child respondents stating that the application is very effective as an increase in the recognition of fruits
