Authors: Mgaya Shukurani , Itika Josephat , D Emmanuel Ndikumana.
Published: July 2023

The paper assessed the extent to which the training and learning process of civil artisans under vocational education and training meets civil construction employers’ demanded competencies. Data were collected from trainers, learners, employees and employers through semi-structured interviews and structured questionnaires. A qualitative exploratory approach was deployed by using MAXQDA2020 software. Content analysis was used to analyze documents and interview transcripts. The article concludes that at least the hard competencies required for carpenters and masons were well covered by the curriculum and appreciated by employers although, outdated curriculum, inadequate teaching and learning resources, and exposure to practical work have a significant role to play and affect the employability of graduates.  Despite, soft competencies including honesty, hard work, professionalism, and discipline were seen to be very important although there was no evidence that they were well imparted. Therefore it was suggested to collaborate with employers in imparting soft competencies.
Quantitative approach to radial artery patency
Authors: Sahin Mehmet , Piri Ertan , Tekindur Sukru , Kuralay Erkan
Published: July 2023

Aim: Visual estimates of the severity of coronary stenosis are frequently very inaccurate. Angiography is inaccurate in assessing the functional significance of a coronary stenosis. Severity of stenosis in the native coronary artery is critical for both the short and long-term patency of the radial artery (RA), because of the potentially negative effects of competitive flow when the stenosis is below 70%.
Material and Methods: A one hundred patients were selected. Radial artery is used for all patients during off-pump surgery. After all distal anastomoses are done and the systolic blood pressure reached over 100 mmHg, we have made arterial pressure measurement from the proximal side of radial artery graft. Both radial artery pressure and aortic pressure were recorded instantaneously. Systemic arterial pressure measurements are done from ascending aorta.
Results: Serial postoperative coronary angiographies were performed at the first six postoperative months. We have detected ten radial artery graft occlusions and string sign. Five right coronary artery, four circumflex artery, and one diagonal artery radial artery grafts occluded. The percentage of systolic aortic and coronary pressure measurement (Ao/C-s%) on occluded graft patients was changed from 81 to 97. Percentage of diastolic aortic and coronary pressure measurement (Ao/C-d%) was changed from 83 to 90. Percentage of mean aortic and coronary pressure measurement (Ao/C-m%) was changed from 84 to 95.
Conclusion: We concluded that; we can predict of radial artery prognosis based on the severity degree of coronary artery stenosis. We have found ten radial artery grafts occluded. However the patients are completely asymptomatic because of functionally insignificant lesions despite these lesions are considered visually significant on coronary angiogram. Unfortunately ten radial artery measurements are not enough for establishing a reliable cut-off value. We need more studies for creating a cut-off value determination.

Aim: Ciprofloxacin (CIPRO) is an antibiotic in the quinolone group. It can exert cardiotoxic effects on the cardiovascular system through potential arrhythmic and oxidative stress. Naringenin (NRG) is a flavonoid compound found in various plant sources. It may protect the heart by lowering oxidative stress and inflammation. In this study, protective effects of NRG against CIPRO-induced cardiotoxicity was explored.
Material and Methods: Thirty-two adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups by simple randomization: Control, CIPRO (50 mg/kg CIPRO intraperitoneally (i.p.) twice a day for 7 days), NRG (25 mg/kg NRG oral gavage (p.o.), 28 days), and NRG+CIPRO (25 mg/kg NRG p.o. for 28 days, 50 mg/kg CIPRO i.p. twice a day from the 22nd day). Data on heart rate, blood pressure (BP), and electrocardiography (ECG) were recorded. The samples (heart and descending aorta) were prepared for histopathology and biochemical analysis. Malondialdehyde (MDA) and total glutathione (tGSH) levels, as well as superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were evaluated in the heart tissue.
Results: The CIPRO group showed histopathological abnormalities such as infiltration and interstitial oedema. In the NRG+CIPRO group, infiltration was significantly reduced. In the NRG group, SOD activity greatly increased, while in the NRG+CIPRO group, tGSH level significantly increased. The control, CIPRO, and NRG+CIPRO groups showed significantly higher systolic and mean BP measurements than the NRG group. In comparison to the CIPRO and control groups, the QT interval was longer in the NRG group.
Conclusion: NRG can reduce CIPRO-induced cardiac damage in rats by increasing antioxidant enzymes and decreasing oxidative stress. With our histopathological evaluation, we have shown that CIPRO-induced cardiotoxicity may be ameliorated by pretreatment with NRG. NRG may also be effective in BP regulation. It should be kept in mind it is important to use NRG with caution and at appropriate doses, as it may prolong the QT interval.

Using a public dataset of images of maritime vessels provided by Analytics Vidhya, manual annotations were madeon a subsample of images with Roboflow using the ground truth classifications provided by the dataset. YOLOv5,a prominent open source family of object detection models that comes with an out-of-the-box pre-training on theCommon Objects in Context (COCO) dataset, was used to train on annotations of sub-classifications of maritimevessels. YOLOv5 provides significant results in detecting a boat. The training, validation, and test set of imagestrained YOLOv5 in the cloud using Google Colab. Three of our five subclasses, namely, cruise ships, ROROs (RollOn Roll Off, typically car carriers), and military ships, have very distinct shapes and features and yielded positiveresults. Two of our subclasses, namely, the tanker and cargo ship, have similar characteristics when the cargoship is unloaded and not carrying any cargo containers. This yielded interesting misclassifications that could beimproved in future work. Our trained model resulted in the validation metric of mean Average Precision (mAP@0.5)of 0.932 across all subclassification of ships.

Published: July 2023

The conceptualization of cloud computing is the paradigm that has revolutionized software and hardware architecture across varied technological domains. However, governments and multiple sectors’ rapid adoption of cloud computing is a significant source of cost-saving, scalability, and collaboration mechanisms. Research in cloud computing technology and advancement is yet to fully embrace the complete spectrum of potential issues confronting cloud technology. It is the fastest-growing field that has gained global adoption in the IT space since 2007. Companies like Amazon, Google, Oracle, and Microsoft provide various products via cloud computing regardless of the many challenges they face in delivering their services to establish assurance to customers demanding continuity of services, speed to market, and guaranteed security. While there are multiple discussions around cloud and data safety, only a few have a grip on the dynamism of cloud technology and the background operation. Three major conventional institutions are at the forefront of providing a clear definition of cloud computing architecture, the technology innovation and advancement driving its operation. They are Gartner, Forrester, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The definition of cloud computing is presented differently by Gartner and Forrester, while the NIST explanation is based on industry-standard terms. This research is an in-depth look at cloud computing architecture from the three institutions’ perspectives. It provides researcher insight to uncover the background of cloud technology, tailored toward an extensive focus area for researchers and exposing a new stream of challenges that require a quick resolution.

A Contrastive Analysis of Final Word Syllables in English and Standard Kurdish
Authors: Nasradeen AbdulRahman Almas
Published: July 2023

English and Kurdish languages have difffferent ways of dealing with the syllable according to each language’s unique system. Every syllable should have a nucleus, onset, and coda that are subject to language particular variation. ThThe production of syllable shapes in specifific languages may vary widely: some of the subparts can be obligatory. For example, onset and nucleus are required in many languages but the coda is optional as in English syllables, only the nucleus is compulsory, that is, each syllable must contain a nucleus. While syllable onsets and codas are optional. In the Kurdish language, the onset is required to be fifilled by only one consonant, i.e. no consonant cluster is allowed in the onset, and only two consonants are allowed in the coda. So, the various numbers of segments in the onset and coda increase the number of syllable types in each language. Dealing with the numerous structures of syllables at the end of words needs more elaboration. ThThus, this paper clarififies each one in detail in the below sections. At last, the similarities and difffferences between English and Kurdish fifinal words are identifified. ThThe examples of Kurdish fifinal words are based on the Latin script. It is concluded that both languages share some similarities and they have some difffferences.

Published: July 2023

Kinerja perpajakan di wilayah Asia Tenggara, khususnya ASEAN-5 yang terdiri dari Indonesia, Malaysia, Filipina, Singapura, dan Thailand, masih relatif rendah di bawah “titik kritis” menurut Bank Dunia dengan rata-rata penerimaan pajak hanya sebesar 13%. Oleh karena itu, penting untuk mempelajari konsep kinerja perpajakan secara lebih mendalam. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menguji moderasi keterbukaan perdagangan pada pendapatan per kapita dan Foreign Direct Investment terhadap penerimaan pajak. Penelitian ini menggunakan data panel terhadap negara ASEAN-5 pada periode 2008-2018. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah metode kuantitatif dengan regresi linier berganda. Berdasarkan pengujian model panel, Pooled Least Square merupakan model yang terbaik. Secara simultan seluruh variabel berpengaruh terhadap penerimaan pajak. Secara parsial, pendapatan per kapita berpengaruh positif signifikan terhadap penerimaan pajak dan setelah dimoderasi dengan variabel keterbukaan perdagangan ternyata memperlemah hubungan positif antara pendapatan per kapita dengan peneriman pajak. Sementara itu, FDI baik secara parsial maupun setelah dimoderasi dengan variabel keterbukaan perdagangan tidak memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap penerimaan pajak. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ini diperlukan kebijakan yang komprehensif dan tepat oleh setiap negara di ASEAN-5 agar keterbukaan perdagangan dapat meningkatkan penerimaan pajak dan memperkuat hubungan antara pendapatan per kapita dan FDI terhadap penerimaan pajak.

Published: July 2023

Background: The increasing volume of tourists coming to Indonesia raises rural motivation to make economic improvements through the tourism village program. All villages can develop this tourist village to create alternative tourist destinations. However, the development of alternative tourist destinations is not an easy thing. Therefore, researchers want to find out more about the development of tourist villages as alternative tourist destinations.
Aim: This study aims to find out how to open alternative tourist destinations by conducting an in-depth analysis to minimize the failure of developing alternative tourist destinations.
Method: The method used in the research is descriptive qualitative and literature study. Data collection techniques using interviews, observation, and documentation then the data obtained will be analyzed in depth and delivered in easy-to-understand sentences.
Findings: The results show that the development of tourist villages to create alternative tourist destinations cannot be separated from 3 principles: open and voluntary membership, democratic organizational management, and village independence. In addition, it must also refer to several things, namely: the attractiveness of a tourist attraction or its uniqueness, accessibility for visitors, the availability of various facilities that support tourists, community empowerment that is carried out on an ongoing basis, as well as marketing and promotion on an ongoing basis.

Göstergeler salt dil felsefesine indirgenecek şeyler değildirler. İnsanın evrene katılımında en önemli araç olarak olaya katılan göstergeler dil üretiminde de önemli bir “şey” durumundadırlar. Ancak sanıldığı gibi sadece dile ait değil en büyük olay olan evrenin de bilinme arzusunun taşması durumudurlar. Deleuze bu durumun bir köksap olarak insan da yansıması için öğrendiğimiz her şey bir gösterge yayar demektedir. Göstergelerin anlaşılması için; göstergelerin ne oldukları, karakterleri, türleri ve insanın evrene katılımında aldığı rolün bilinmesi yaşamı olumlayan bir durum olduğundan dolayı gerek öğrenme durumları gerekse yaşamın yeniden oluşturulmasını sağlayacaktır. Göstergeler sadece birer işaret olarak değil hayatın olumlanmasında da en önemli etkiye sahiptir.

Information Terrorism As a Form of International Terrorism
Authors: TALİŞİNSKİ Elvin
Published: July 2023

Abstract.
Information terrorism as a form of international terrorism is the main tool for the implementation of ideological terrorism. Information terrorism is a direct impact on the psyche and consciousness of people in order to form the necessary opinions and judgments that in a certain way guide people's behavior. In practice, information terrorism is usually understood as such a violent propaganda effect on the psyche, which leaves no opportunity for a person to critically evaluate the information received (as a rule, frankly biased information that achieves its goals not by the quality of the manipulative impact, but by its volume). This article also explores the types and methods of combating information terrorism.

Özet.
Uluslararası terörizmin bir biçimi olan bilgi terörizmi daha doğru bir tabirle ideolojik terörü uygulamadaki ana araçtır. Bilgi terörizmi, insanların davranışlarını belirli bir şekilde yönlendiren gerekli görüş ve yargıları oluşturmak için insanların ruhları ve bilinçleri üzerinde doğrudan bir etkidir. Uygulamada, bilgi terörizmi genellikle ruh üzerinde böylesine şiddetli bir propaganda etkisi olarak anlaşılır ve bu, bir kişinin alınan bilgileri eleştirel bir şekilde değerlendirmesine fırsat bırakmaz (kural olarak, amaçlarına manipülatif kalitesiyle değil, açıkçası önyargılı bilgiler ulaşır). Bu makalede ayrıca bilgi terörizmiyle mücadelenin türleri ve yöntemleri araştırılıyor.

Basının ortaya çıkması ve gelişmesi dünya tarihi kadar eskidir. Basın ve yayın hareketlerinin gelişmesi ülkelerin siyasal, ekonomik ve kültürel gelişimlerine göre paralellik göstermiştir. Basının gelişmesinde son derece önemli rol oynayan teknik gelişmeler bilginin çok hızlı bir şekilde yayılmasını sağlamıştır. Bu süreç, gazetelerin siyasal ve toplumsal yaşamdaki önemini artırmış ve basının bir güç olarak doğmasına neden olmuştur. Basının eleştirel güce sahip olması siyaset ve ülke gündemi hakkında yazılar yazma geleneğini ortaya çıkarmıştır. Böylece gazeteler, siyasal ve toplumsal etkileşimde halk ve iktidar arasında koordinasyon görevi üstlenmiştir. Bu durum hükümetlerle basını karşı karşıya getirmiştir. Siyasi konulara ilişkin fikirlerin açığa çıkması basın üzerinde baskılara sebebiyet vermiştir. Her türlü baskıya karşı basın var gücüyle mücadele etmiştir. Dünyadaki benzerleriyle aynı koşullarla ortaya çıkan Osmanlı Basını da tüm baskılara rağmen direnmiştir. II. Meşrutiyetin getirmiş olduğu özgürlük ortamıyla yayın hayatına başlayan Serbesti gazetesi döneme damgasını vurmuştur. Liberal fikirleri savunan gazete; temel hak ve özgürlüklerin korunmasını, hukukun üstünlüğünü, sıklıkla dile getirmiştir. Serbesti, Meşrutiyet rejiminin tam manasıyla yerleşmesini savunmuş, gördüğü aksaklıkları hiç çekinmeden eleştirmiş, bu sebeple dönemin en muhalif gazetesi olmuştur. Bu çalışma, II. Meşrutiyet dönemi basınında önemli yer teşkil eden Serbesti gazetesinin genel yayın anlayışını, iktidar mekanizması karşısındaki tutumunu, gücünü, kitle hareketi meydana getirmesini ve meşruiyet kaynağını ele almıştır.
Meşrutiyetten Cumhuriyete Osmanlı Şehirlerinde Faaliyet Gösteren Nakliye Sigorta Şirketleri Üzerine Tespitler (1908-1923)

19. yüzyılın ilk yarısında Osmanlı şehirleri, Avrupalı devletler için açık pazar haline gelmiştir. Avrupalı tüccarları bu yüzyılda, tüm şehirlerde görmek mümkündür. Osmanlı iç pazarında sektörel olarak elle imal edilen, nerdeyse tüm ürünlerin yerine, fabrikasyon mamuller satılır haldedir. Bu durum, yerli üreticiyi zor duruma sokmuştur. İthal ürünler hem bol, hem de yerli üretime göre daha ucuz olduğu için yerli üretici, bu ürünlerle rekabet edememiştir. Bu sebeple, çoğu yerli üretici dükkânını kapatmak, tezgâhını satmak zorunda kalmıştır.

Avrupalı devletler, tüm sektörlerde olduğu gibi sigortacılık alanında da Osmanlı şehirlerinde, büyük bir nüfuza sahiptir. Bu nüfuzun, 1908 ile 1923 yılları arasında nakliye sigortacılığı alanında daha yoğun hissedildiği görülmektedir. Çünkü o dönemde, ithal ürünlerin Osmanlı limanlarına ve iç pazarına ulaştırılmasında, en büyük sorun, nakliye olarak görülmektedir. Ürünler, nakil esnasında hırsızlık, kaza, ürünün bozulması gibi birçok risk faktörü ile karşı karşıyadır. Bu sebeple birçok yabancı sigorta şirketi, Osmanlı şehirlerinde acente açma ihtiyacı duymuştur. Bu ihtiyaca binaen, Avusturya başta olmak üzere, İngiliz ve Rus şirketlerin ağırlıklı olarak Osmanlı şehirlerinde nakliye alanında hizmet verdiği görülmektedir.

Şirketlerin çalışma alanları, mensubu oldukları ülkeler, acenteleri ve şube açtıkları şehirler incelendiğinde, Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nun son dönemi ile Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin ilk yıllarındaki iktisadi faaliyetler ve şehirlerin yapıları hakkında ciddi ipuçları elde edilmektedir.

Bu makalede, 1908 ve 1923 arasındaki yıllarda, nakliye sigortacılığı konusunda hizmet veren yabancı şirketler üzerine tespitler yapılarak, yabancı şirketlerin, Türk sigortacılığı üzerindeki nüfuzu incelenmiş ve ülkeler arasında acente sayıları açısından kıyaslamalar ile birlikte Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin ilk yıllarındaki şehir ve iktisadi yapısı üzerinde tespitlerde bulunulmuştur.

Published: July 2023

Bu çalışma Batı Balkan ihtilaflarında etnik milliyetçiliğin zararlı etkilerini araştırmakta ve NATO'nun bölgedeki istikrar sağlayıcı rolünü incelemektedir. Çalışma, çatışmaların karmaşık tarihsel kökenlerini araştırmakta ve stratejik avantaj sağlamak için bölgesel gerilimleri istismar eden Çin ve Rusya gibi dış aktörlerin şiddetlendirici etkilerini vurgulamaktadır. Çalışma, NATO'nun Batı Balkanlar'da barış, güvenlik ve işbirliğini teşvik etmek, potansiyel çatışmaları caydırmak ve bölgesel işbirliğini teşvik etmek için bir çerçeve sağlamak için yapıcı katılımının önemini vurgulamaktadır. Analiz aynı zamanda Avrupa-Atlantik entegrasyon sürecinin kapsamlı reformların teşvik edilmesi ve etnik milliyetçiliğin cazibesinin azaltılmasındaki öneminin altını çizmektedir. Çalışma, iç reformlar, NATO'nun sürekli katılımı ve güçlendirilmiş bölgesel işbirliğini içeren çok yönlü bir yaklaşımın benimsenmesiyle, etnik milliyetçilik ve dış müdahalenin olumsuz yansımalarına karşı koyarken Batı Balkanlar'da kalıcı istikrar ve refahın sağlanabileceği sonucuna varmaktadır.
Amerikan Uçak Gemisi Saratoga’nın Muavenet Muhribini Vurması: Türk Kamuoyu Üzerinden Bir Değerlendirme
Authors: KORKMAZ Erdal
Published: July 2023

Uzun ve köklü bir geçmişi olan Türk-Amerikan ilişkileri, yeni Türkiye Devletinin kuruluşu ile birlikte hızla gelişmiştir. Özellikle İkinci Dünya Harbi sonrasında ortaya çıkan konjöktür ve SSCB’nin yayılmacı politikaları, iki ülkenin yakınlaşmasındaki önemli etkenler olmuştur. Türk-Amerikan yakınlaşması; Truman Doktrini, Marshall Planı ve Türkiye’nin NATO’ya girişi ile birlikte zirve yapmıştır. Bu yakınlaşmanın sonucu olarak ABD tarafından Türkiye’ye askeri ve mali yardımlar yapılmıştır.

ABD askeri yardımlarının bir sonucu olarak Muavenet Muhribi, 1971 yılında Türk Deniz Kuvvetleri envanterine girmiştir. Kıbrıs Barış Harekâtına katılan Muavenet Muhribi, NATO tarafından icra edilen “Kararlılık Gösterisi-92 (Display Determination-92)” adlı tatbikat sırasında, Amerikan Uçak Gemisi Saratoga’dan fırlatılan Sea Sparrow adlı iki füzenin hedefi olmuştur. Saratoga Uçak Gemisi’nden fırlatılan füzelerin etkisiyle Muavenet Muhribi’nde görev yapan Türk personelden bir kısmı hayatını kaybetmiş, bir kısmı da yaralanmıştır. Olayın duyulması üzerine tepkiler çığ gibi büyümüş ve Türk kamuoyu sorumluların derhâl cezalandırılmasını istemiştir. Bu sırada Türk devlet adamları, olaya itidalli yaklaşılmasını ve konunun araştırılacağını beyan etmiştir. Aynı dönemde ABD ve NATO yetkilileri, Türk makamlarından özür dilemiş ve konunun araştırılması için hemen araştırma komisyonları kurulması yönünde harekete geçmiştir.

Muavenet Muhribinin vurulmasına yönelik olarak hazırlanan raporda, Saratoga Uçak Gemisi’nde bulunan personelin tatbikat sırasında verilen alarmı gerçek zannederek füzeleri ateşledikleri ve bunun sonucunda olayın meydana geldiği ifade edilmiştir. Olay sonucunda 8 Amerikan personeline uyarı cezası verilmiş ve konu çok fazla uzatılmadan dosya kapatılmıştır. Bu sırada ABD tarafından Türkiye’ye tazminat olarak sekiz adet savaş gemisi verilmiştir.

Türk kamuoyu, yaşanan olayı iç ve dış basında çıkan haberler ekseninde değerlendirmiş ve Muavenet’in vurulmasında bir kasıt olup olmadığını tartışmaya açmıştır. Bu çalışmada, Türk-Amerikan ilişkilerinde önemli bir yeri olan Saratoga Uçak Gemisinin Muavenet Muhribini vurmasına Türk kamuoyu üzerinden bakılacaktır. Ayrıca konu, dönemin Türk basını ve kamuoyunda çıkan haberler üzerinden değerlendirilecektir.
