Aziende Sanitarie ed etica
Authors: Petralia Paolo , Doldi Marco
Published: December 2024

Umanizzare il management sanitario significa riconoscere il valore strumentale dell’economia rispetto alla cura dell’uomo e all’assistenza del paziente, ed il principio di responsabilità etica come il più adatto a tenere insieme due aspetti dell’organizzazione sanitaria apparentemente inconciliabili: da una parte, la concezione di una organizzazione focalizzata sul conseguimento della condizione di economicità e, dall’altra parte, quella di una organizzazione attenta a soddisfare le relazioni ed i bisogni di cura e disinteressata all’uso appropriato ed efficiente delle risorse, sempre più scarse. Dobbiamo quindi far sedere subito al tavolo delle decisioni l’etica, e in maniera transdisciplinare: in questo modo riusciremo forse, occupandoci del nuovo, a tornare alle cose vecchie di sempre, dando una risposta alle domande di senso, e costruendo così un percorso che aiuti a ridefinire le decisioni per il futuro, in un contesto di sostenibilità, di universalismo e di equità.

Background: South Africa has successfully enhanced its manufacturing sector by incorporating green technologies and fostering sustainable job opportunities, demonstrating the importance of material transformation in supplying necessities and promoting economic growth. The manufacturing sector’s rapid economic growth has led to environmental concerns, prompting a push for green supply chain management (GSCM). This study explores green purchasing (GP), manufacturing and distribution practices.Objectives: By examining how GSCM techniques affect green economic performance (GEP) in Gauteng province’s industrial sector, the current study aims to close this gap. Green supply chain management techniques were examined in this study in the areas of green distribution (GD), manufacturing and purchasing.Method: The study surveyed 450 manufacturing companies in Gauteng province using a quantitative approach. Data were analysed using Statistical Package for Social Science (version 28.0) and SMART PLS (version 3.0) (using confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling path analysis) to test research hypotheses.Results: The results of the study showed that in the manufacturing industry GSCM practices through GP, green manufacturing and GD greatly influence GEP. In addition, GD has the strongest effect on GEP compared to GP and GD.Conclusion: To enhance GEP and safeguard the environment, the industrial sector must implement GSCM strategies.Contribution: This study is significant for South African manufacturing companies because it offers opportunities for achieving GEP by adopting and comprehending GSCM practices. The findings will aid in the implementation of these practices in Gauteng province’s manufacturing firms.

Published: December 2024

Danon disease (DD) is a rare X-linked disorder secondary to lysosomal-associated membrane protein 2 (LAMP2) deficiency that manifests as hypertrophic or dilated cardiomyopathy. We report an obscure presentation of DD in a 14-year-old female patient diagnosed using cardiac imaging including echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. A final diagnosis of DD was made after identification of LAMP2 genetic variant. The diagnosis of DD requires a high index of suspicion, particularly in female patients with atypical phenotypes. This case highlights the necessity of a holistic approach for early detection.

Authors: Baloni Vipin , Upadhyay Prem Shanker
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND:

Asthma is the most common chronic disease in children, imposing a consistent burden on the healthcare system. In Ayurveda, many formulations are described for managing Shwasa (respiratory disease) and Kasa (cough). Duralabhadi yoga is one of them, which is classically mentioned in Yogaratnakar, Balarogachikitsha, for the treatment of Shwasa (respiratory disease) and Kasa (cough). The present study aimed to identify the phytoactive components of Duralabhadi yoga, as well as the extracts of Vasa and Kantakari, and to learn more about how these phytoactive components affect the human respiratory system, particularly in the cases of childhood asthma.

METHODS:

For each of the content of Duralabhadi yoga samples and Vasa and Kantakari samples, a high resolution—liquid chromatography mass spectrometry analysis was conducted, and the phytochemical components were identified. Following that, it was determined which constituents impacted asthma and the human respiratory system with the aid of earlier research on these well-known phytochemicals available in databases like PubMed and ChEMBL.

RESULTS:

In Duralabha sample, 15 compounds have various effects on the respiratory system. 11 compounds have pharmacological action on the respiratory system in the sample of Pippali. In the sample of Haritaki 12 compounds have pharmacological action on the respiratory system. Sixteen compounds each have various effects on the respiratory system in Draksha and Vasa sample. Nine compounds have pharmacological action on the respiratory system in the sample of Kantakari.

CONCLUSIONS:

The phytoactive compounds found in Vasa, Kantakari, and the various contents of Duralabhadi yoga formulation have the effects of being bronchodilator, anti-inflammatory, antitussive, and anti-allergic.
Mountainous therapeutic plant Nardostachys jatamansi (D.Don) DC grown in vitro used as a substitute for wild plants
Authors: Pant Hem Chandra , Gaurav Naveen , Pant Harsh Vardhan
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND:

Nardostachys jatamansi is widely used in the Unani, Ayurveda, and Siddha medicine systems. The extensive use of this plant in traditional medicine makes it an endemic plant. N. Jatamansi relieves symptoms of anxiety, epilepsy and weak memory, whereas plant oil (basically known as spikenard oil) is used to maintain hair growth, cardiac problems, and diabetes.

METHODS:

In our study, we tried to validate in vitro-grown plants as a substitute for wild-type plants for therapeutic purposes. We compared the phytochemical and biological (antibacterial) activity of in vitro-grown and wild-type plant root extract. For comparative analysis, we cultivated in vitro plants from the nodal ex-plants of N. Jatamansi. Then, methanol and water extract from in vitro grown and wild-type plant rhizome extract were prepared using the maceration method.

RESULTS:

The results revealed that in comparison to wild-type plants, other than flavonoids and terpenoids. All phytochemicals were reported in the in vitro-grown plant extract. However, both plant extracts showed a significant (P > 0.05) antibacterial activity.

CONCLUSION:

This study found that in vitro generated and wild-type plant extracts showed almost similar phytochemical profiles. Antimicrobial activity was also detected in plants grown in vitro. Our findings are suggestive of exploring utility of in vitro-grown plants as a substitute for wild type plants by investigating their phytochemical and pharmacological profile.
Analyzing the quality of multiple-choice questions in microbiology for second-year MBBS students
Authors: Singh Gurjeet , Singh Raksha , Ananthakrishnan Nilakantan
Published: December 2024

Background and Objective:

According to the 2023 Graduate Medical Education Regulations by the National Medical Commission for competency-based medical education in the MBBS curriculum, 20% of assessment questions are now multiple-choice questions (MCQs) in formative and summative evaluations. This study aims to evaluate the quality of MCQs in microbiology assessment for second-year MBBS students and compare different methods for calculating the difficulty index, discrimination index (DI), and distractor effectiveness (DE) of the items.

Materials and Methods:

This study analyzed 20 MCQs, including 20 correct answers (keys) and 60 distractors, from an internal microbiology assessment of 150 students. The items were evaluated for difficulty index (DIF I), Discrimination Index (DI), and Distractor Effectiveness (DE) using three methods: (1) entire group analysis, (2) grouping by the upper third and lower third of students (50 in each), and (3) selecting the top and bottom 27% of students.

Results:

The difficulty index was calculated using the whole group, upper-third vs. lower-third, and top vs. bottom 27%. Results indicated that the whole group and upper-third/lower-third methods provided similar accuracy, while the top vs. bottom 27% selection method tended to underestimate difficulty levels. The DI, useful for distinguishing between high and low performers, was best calculated using the top and bottom 27% of students, as whole-group analysis was found irrelevant. Two methods were used to measure DE: whole-group and upper-third/lower-third. However, neither approach showed statistically significant differences (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:

This study highlights the importance of selecting quality MCQs with moderate difficulty, high discriminative power, and effective distractors to accurately differentiate student performance. Findings suggest that using the top and bottom 27% group is more effective than using the upper-third/lower-third group for analysis of the items.

Universal minima of discrete potentials for sharp spherical codes
Authors: Boyvalenkov Peter , Dragnev Peter , Hardin Douglas , Saff Edward , Stoyanova Maya
Published: December 2024

This article is devoted to the study of discrete potentials on the sphere in

\mathbb{R}^{n}

for sharp codes. We show that the potentials of most of the known sharp codes attain the universal lower bounds for polarization for spherical

\tau

-designs previously derived by the authors, where “universal” is meant in the sense of applying to a large class of potentials that includes absolutely monotone functions of inner products. We also extend our universal bounds to

T

-designs and the associated polynomial subspaces determined by the vanishing moments of spherical configurations, and thus obtain the minima for the icosahedron, the dodecahedron, and sharp codes coming from

E_{8}

and the Leech lattice. For this purpose, we investigate quadrature formulas for certain subspaces of Gegenbauer polynomials

P^{(n)}_{j}

which we call PULB subspaces, particularly those having basis

\{P_{j}^{(n)}\}_{j=0}^{2k+2}\setminus \{P_{2k}^{(n)}\}.

Furthermore, for potentials with

h^{(\tau+1)}<0

, we prove that the strong sharp codes and the antipodal sharp codes attain the universal bounds and their minima occur at points of the codes. The same phenomenon is established for the

600

-cell when the potential

h

satisfies

h^{(i)}\geq 0

,

i=1,\dots,15

, and

h^{(16)}\leq 0

.
On the Poincaré problem of the third integral of the equations of rotation of a heavy asymmetric top
Authors: Kozlov Valery Vasil'evich
Published: December 2024

The Poincaré third-integral problem for the equations of rotation
of a heavy asymmetric rigid body with fixed point is considered; the third integral is assumed to be independent
of the energy and area integrals, and can be represented as a series in powers of a small parameter
whose coefficients are single-valued analytic functions on the six-dimensional phase space.
The small parameter here is the ratio of the distance from the centre of mass to the point of support
to the characteristic size of the rigid body. This problem, which was posed by
Poincaré in the fifth chapter of his
celebrated New methods of celestial mechanics,
has a negative solution under the additional
assumption that this third integral is in involution with the area integral
(this result was obtained by the author of the present note already in 1975).
In the present paper,
the Poincaré problem is solved in its original general problem statement
(without the assumption that the Poisson bracket should vanish) - it is shown that
if the body is dynamically asymmetric, then the third single-valued analytic integral
does not exist. The proof depends on the Poincaré method
augmented with some novel ideas and a more careful analysis of the expansion
of the perturbing function as a Fourier series in the angle variables.

Open source intelligence on the internet – categorisation and evaluation of search tools
Authors: Mider Daniel
Published: December 2024

This article presents a comprehensive analysis and systematic review of search tools used in open source intelligence (OSINT). Three main categories of software were evaluated: systems integrated with operating system or web browser, standalone applications, and repositories of links to specialised tools. A critical evaluation of representative examples from each category was conducted, taking into account their functionality, effectiveness, and limitations. The analysis identified significant gaps in the current instrumentation and formulated postulates regarding potential directions for the development of the OSINT operator skills. The optimal development direction should focus on open source, modular tools with a low entry threshold, enabling community participation in their refinement and customisation for analysts’ needs. The findings serve as a knowledge compendium for OSINT researchers, practitioners, and enthusiasts.
Roman Ingarden w przestrzeni słowa – uwagi wstępne
Authors: Bończa Bukowski Piotr
Published: December 2024

W niniejszym artykule prezentuję genezę i intelektualne zaplecze projektu „Roman Ingarden w przestrzeni słowa”, który zaowocował konferencją z okazji 130. rocznicy urodzin filozofa oraz inicjatywą wydania monograficznego numeru czasopisma Studia Litteraria Universitatis Iagellonicae Cracoviensis. Konstatuję, że Ingarden przez całą swą drogę naukową eksplorował przestrzeń słowa, poruszając się na różnych jej płaszczyznach. Był on przekonany, iż słowa mogą być narzędziami poznania i jako takie są otwarte na rozumienie. Pisał o różnicy między słowem żywym, użytym w konkretnej sytuacji, a wieloznacznym „słowem języka”. Przypominam również, że Ingarden tworzył literaturę i poddawał ją opisowi, przekładał literaturę i opisywał istotę przekładu literackiego. W tak zarysowanej przestrzeni sytuuję analizy uczestników projektu, którzy zdecydowali się zmierzyć z wieloaspektową problematyką słowa w myśli Romana Ingardena.
Roman Ingarden’s Ontology and Non-anthropocentric Humanities: On (Non-)Obvious Relationships
Authors: Cyzman-Eid Monika
Published: December 2024

The discourse on non-anthropocentric humanities has an essentializing and ontologizing character, allowing connections to be made with Roman Ingarden’s own ontology. The problems considered by researchers such as Bjørnar Olsen and Graham Harman appear to allign with those of the Polish philosopher. Concepts problematized in both non-anthropocentric discourse and Ingarden’s theory include self-containedness, autonomy and independence of the object from the cognizing subject, together with the manner in which the object itself is endowed as a subject with its own merits. Although functional questions (how things act as non-human actors in reality and what relations they form with human actors) seem to be the most important for modern researchers, the essential points they raise allow for a better understanding of what conditions objects require for their action and even causality. Introducing the discourse of non-anthropocentric humanities into the context of Ingarden’s ontology could allow, among other things, for the clarification of certain concepts. In this way, the return to things, a subject hitherto lacking its own vocabulary, can be perceived as a significant new discourse within contemporary humanities.
Disposal of In-Game Items for Consideration in Polish Personal Income Tax
Authors: Duda-Hyz Michalina
Published: December 2024

The article discusses the taxation of disposal of in-game items for consideration under Polish personal income tax. This is an issue which has received little attention in the tax literature to date and which, given the growing popularity of online games and the blurring of the boundaries between the real and virtual economy, is of significant practical importance. The main aim of this contribution was to analyse and evaluate the positions of the tax authorities on this matter, based on the individual tax interpretation issued. The first part of the study presents the features of in-game items as well as the rules for crafting and trading such items. The second part deals with the taxation of the disposal of such items for consideration by both entrepreneurs and non-business persons. The considerations serve to prove the hypothesis that the interpretation of the current Polish legislation in the context of transactions with game objects poses problems for both taxpayers and tax authorities, which is evidenced by the numerous doubts of taxpayers expressed in requests for individual tax interpretations, as well as the divergent positions of the tax authorities. The analysis carried out has made it possible to identify the issues which give rise to controversy and the main theoretical assumptions which should precede the introduction of legislative changes in this area.

Colonial hymns and Black Spirituals in the context of decoloniality: A theological reflection of Reverend Shadrack Ushewokunze's songs
Authors: Mujinga Martin
Published: December 2024

Methodist hymns are attributed to Charles Wesley. Most scholars in Methodist studies, theology, and religion have paid attention to his hymns. In contrast, not much attention had been given to hymns by Black Methodists that contributed to the African history, culture, spirituality, and music genres. With ten hymns, Reverend Ushewokunze tops the list of songs by the Black Methodists, and yet there is no scholarly literature that theologises his hymns written during the colonial era. Using the decolonial framework and qualitative methodology, this paper aims to argue that Ushewokunze’s hymns represent the spirituals of the Black Christians in Zimbabwe and how they used songs to respond to their spiritual suffocation. Ushewokunze’s composition of hymns at the height of the colonial era underscores the experiences of the Black Christians which they expressed through spirituals as a tool of decoloniality. The paper defined colonial hymns and Black spirituals. It also presents the historical background of Reverend Ushewokunze and how these humble beginnings had a bearing on the writings of his songs. The paper calls for a re engagement of Black spirituals to appreciate how the native Christians used songs to contextualise worship. It concluded by recommending the Methodist Church in Zimbabwe and other mainline churches to deliberate use of the hymns by Black singers to unpack their theology in the African religio-cultural experiences of the colonial era.
Factors Affecting Generation Z's Intention To Pay Zakat Through Digital Payment
Authors: Wahrudin Bambang , Purwaningrum Titis , Nurhayati Anna , Setiawan Fery
Published: December 2024

This study aims to analyze the effect of performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating condition, and price value on the intention of Generation Z to pay zakat through digital payments. This study uses a descriptive quantitative method. The population of this study is Generation Z Ponorogo, who have paid zakat through digital payments, where the number is still being determined. Accidentally, sampling was used and measured using the Hair approach so that 98 respondents were obtained. The data source for this study uses primary data obtained from respondents filling out questionnaires, which are then analyzed using multiple linear regression assisted by SPSS 25 software. The study results indicate that facilitating conditions and price value positively affect the intention of Generation Z to pay zakat through digital payments. However, performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and social influence do not affect Generation Z's intention to pay for zakat through digital payments. The results of this study can complement existing theories, especially the effect of facilitating conditions and price value on intention. The results of this study can be used as a reference for zakat management institutions to increase the intention of the community, especially Generation Z, to pay for zakat through digital payments.

Authors: Eruygur Adilcan , Aşcı Ufuk Deniz
Published: December 2024

Bu makale, Uygur Türklerinin inanç sistemlerinde kadın ve şeytan ilişkilendirmesinin analizini ve bu ilişkilendirmenin Uygur atasözleri, masalları ve koşuklardaki yansımalarını ele almaktadır. Çalışma, Uygur halkının mitolojik ve dini inançlarının kadına dair tutumlarını nasıl şekillendirdiğini ve bu tutumların halk edebiyatında nasıl temsil edildiğini araştırmaktadır. Literatür taraması ve metin analizi yöntemleri kullanılarak elde edilen veriler, kültürel dilbilim çerçevesinde yorumlanmıştır. Uygur Türklerinin tarih boyunca benimsediği Şamanizm, Budizm, Maniheizm ve İslamiyet gibi dinlerin etkisiyle kadının şeytanla ilişkilendirilmesi, toplumsal algılar ve dini inançların bir yansıması olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Uygur mitolojisinde Albıs, Alkarısı, Arçura, Cadılar, Cinler, Ecinni, Kempir, Peri, Mıstan ve Yalmavuz gibi kötülüğü temsil eden varlıklar genellikle kadın formunda tasvir edilmiştir. Uygur halk edebiyatında kadın-şeytan ilişkilendirilmesi, atasözleri, masallar ve halk koşuklarında sıkça karşımıza çıkar. Bu atasözleri ve edebi eserler, kadının kurnaz, manipülatif ve tehlikeli olarak tasvir edilmesini pekiştirir. Çalışma, kadın-şeytan ilişkilendirmenin Uygur kültüründeki toplumsal cinsiyet rollerinin ve dini inanışların dilsel ve edebi yansımalarını derinlemesine analiz ederek, Uygur kültürünün zenginliğini ve derinliğini daha iyi anlamamıza katkı sağlamayı amaçlamaktadır.

LUKRECIJA ILI TROJOAND KOTOR’S EARLY MODERN PERIOD
Authors:   Fakultet za crnogorski jezik i književnost – Cetinje, RADOMAN Aleksandar
Published: December 2024

In this paper, the author analyzes some of the problems associated with early modern comedy Lukrecija ili Trojo. Written in all likelihood in the second half of the seventeenth century, by an unknown author and title (the latter was awarded subsequently by historians of literature), Lukrecija belongs to the dramatic form that grew out of the foundations of the Renaissance erudite and comedy dell'arte, referred to as comedy ridiculosa in the country of origin. With clear features of Boka speech patterns and textual elements that indicate that it was indeed written, and quite probably played on the Montenegrin coast, or more precisely in Kotor, Lukrecija is a valuable trace of theatrical and dramatic heritage suppressed by the silence of archival sources and often careless attitude of generations towards their own cultural tradition.

Published: December 2024

The paper provides an overview of the contribution to Montenegrin dialectology by Dragoljub Petrović, one of the most important Montenegrin dialectologists of the second half of XX century. His descriptions encompassed broader territory than those of any dialectologist before him: he studied both archaic and recent speech patterns, two-accent, three-accent and four-accent, coastal and continental speech patterns. Among his most important contributions is certainly the study of speech of Vračani, Montenegrin immigrants whose speech was conserved in the Albanian environment, as well as the speech of Rovci, especially because they are both almost completely extinct today.

Published: December 2024

The paper analyzes phonetic-phonological characteristics of medieval legal documents created in the thirteenth century, which are kept in the State Archives in Dubrovnik today. The phonetic analysis has shown: presence of semi-vowels in accordance with the norm of the Old Slavonic language: nъ, sь, d(ь)nь, ô(tь)cь, konьcь; vocalization of the semi-vowel in accordance with the norm of the Old Bosnian language: na, sa,danь, bosanьskih, and the elision of the semi-vowel: vsi, ôd; preservation of Jat as a graphical morpheme in accordance with the Old Slavonic norm:anьdrêi, vsêmi, vsêi, ôbьkinê, vêki, starê, moê, and reflection of Jat into: e and i in accordance with the Old Bosnian norm: veruje, večьni, pridu.
THE MIRACLE AT JABNEEL – OR LET THE OLD GODMAKE ROOM FOR THE NEW ONE
Authors:   Fakultet za crnogorski jezik i književnost – Cetinje, MARKOVIĆ Milan
Published: December 2024

In this paper, adapted part of the master thesis Myth De(con)struction in Pekić's Time of Miracles, the author analyzes a short story entitled The Miracle at Jabneel as a separate text, but also as an element of a broader system of organization, where Time of Miracles can be interpreted as a comprehensive unit. To this end, the author utilizes a combined introspective method, with a special emphasis on theoretical discoveries of narratology and semiotics. The Miracle at Jabneel primarily serves as an evidence of the new aspects of Jesus' supernatural powers, where the problem focus of the text is directed at questioning of the purpose of Jesus' miracles and the consequences of those miracles. Observed in the broader context of the book as a whole, The Miracle at Jabneel defines and establishes a classification field not only of Jesus Christ as a central character, but also of the world in general, which he, as a Saviour, should change.
THE NEW ATTIRE OF OLD STORIES – IŠČAŠENE BAJKE (TWISTED FAIRYTALES) BY DRAGAN RADULOVIĆ
Authors:   Filološki fakultet − Nikšić, KALEZIĆ-RADONJIĆ Svetlana
Published: December 2024

The paper provides an analysis of Dragan Radulović’s TV series Twisted Fairytales, which reinterpret the famous, classic fairytales, adapted to the screen format. Special attention in interpretation is given to the methods of reshaping and modernizing through ideological and critical revision of the present moment, as well as to the segments of the fairytales that differentiate the new fairytales from their classic predecessors. In spite of their fun and playability, Twisted Fairytales are a very complex phenomenon to analyze due to numerous sociological and historical implications of the texts, intended mainly for children.
SLAVICA PEROVIĆ’S LIFE LIFT: A STORY ABOUT ALL OF US
Authors:   Fakultet za crnogorski jezik i književnost – Cetinje, KALEZIĆ Sofija
Published: December 2024

The issue of women’s emancipation in patriarchal societies has long been at the heart of discourse analysis. This theme sets the tone for Life Lift, a debut novel by Slavica Perović, a linguistics professor. Perović’s academic background had a profound influence on the linguistic and stylistic features of her novel, its composition and the writer’s reasoning. However, the novel’s dense and contemplative language simultaneously poses an obstacle for general readers, mostly without a literary theory or linguistic background. Although it explores male adultery and female ineptitude to respond to it, Life Lift is not an easy read, but rather a tour de force which encourages us to re-evaluate ourselves, our moral values and ethical norms. Perović deciphers common misunderstandings between men and women, exploring the search for identity through language.

Several relations for the Sombor index are presented. A simpler proof of a result by Phanjoubam and Mawiong is given. An inequality connecting graph energy and Sombor index is corrected; in its proof Arizmendi's concept of vertex energy is used. An easy estimate of Sombor index in terms of eigenvalues of Sombor matrix is stated, followed by a conjecture.
FROM INFLUENCE TO EXPLOITATION: UNVEILING CORRUPTION DYNAMICS IN THE PALM OIL INDUSTRY
Authors: Wardhani Sari , Putri Ni Made Martini
Published: December 2024

This study examines the complexity of corruption networks in the palm oil industry, focusing on the roles of state and corporate actors upstream and downstream. Using Social Network Analysis (SNA) of two corruption cases with data from investigation reports and court decisions, key actors and their relationships are analysed through degree centrality, eigenvector and modularity metrics. The results identified that actors have various roles, such as organisers, influencers, intermediaries, or simply communicators. Corporate actors dominate in upstream corruption involving illegal palm oil licences. Corporate actors dominate as initiators, exploiting regulatory weaknesses with state facilitation. In contrast, corruption in downstream palm oil revolves around crude palm oil (CPO) export fraud, with state actors as initiators organising systemic collusion so that corporate actors benefit from the manipulated system. The findings reveal adaptive corruption networks characterised by hierarchical structures and reciprocal solid relationships between actors. The study highlights the systemic nature of corporate-state crime in the palm oil industry by emphasising the dynamic role of influence and exploitation. Interventions against corruption cannot take a dyadic approach but must be comprehensive by disrupting corruption networks in weak governance.
Support vector machine-based and crisis-pertaining forecasts of a subset of foreign currency- denominated bank deposits in Türkiye
Authors: Kara Ahmet
Published: December 2024

This paper presents support vector machine-based forecasts of a subset of the banking system’s foreign currency-denominated deposit-growth for a crisis-inclusive period in Türkiye. Forecasts concerning such periods pose challenges that may not always be efficiently handled within the confines of conventional statistical methods. This brings out a need to make recourse to alternative methods, one of which is employed in this paper. The method employed in the paper belongs to a particular group of machine learning/artificial intelligence algorithms known as support vector machines, which could yield successful results in a wide range of cases. We demonstrate that proper employment of support vector machines leads to a reasonably high degree of accuracy in forecasting and produces, with a small margin of error, real-value-replicating trajectories of the target variable in question. Accurate forecasts of foreign currency-denominated deposit growth rates at crisis-inclusive junctures could be of practical significance to the policy designers attempting to limit, in an optimal manner, the magnitudes(s) or growth(s) of the foreign currency-denominated deposits within the banking system. This article shows how the objective of practical significance in question could be achieved with an alternative method.
GameStop olayı: Alt kültür ve sosyal kimlik çerçevesinde bir inceleme
Authors: Tanrıverdi Yağmur , Muratoğlu Pehlivan Bahar
Published: December 2024

Yeni iletişim teknolojilerinin yükselişi, farklı alanlarda oldukça büyük değişimler yaşanmasına neden olmuştur ve dönüşüme uğrayan alanlardan biri de toplumsal hareketlerdir. Dijital ortamlar üzerinden gerçekleştirilen kolektif eylemler, yeni toplumsal hareketlerin ortaya çıkmasını sağlamıştır. Bu çalışmada GameStop hareketi, bir yeni toplumsal hareket örneği olarak alt kültürlerin kimlik oluşumu ve kültürel alandaki etkinliklerinin yanı sıra sosyal kimlik, kimlik belirsizliği ve sosyal sapkınlık tartışmaları çerçevesinde ele alınmıştır. Göstergebilim yöntemi ile GameStop hareketinin gerçekleştirildiği sosyal medya platformu olan Reddit üzerinden paylaşılan ve platformun wallstreetbets isimli grubunda en çok etkileşim alan beş esprili görsel (meme) çözümlenmiştir. Araştırmanın bulguları; wallstreetbets grubunun ortak bir dijital dile sahip olması, üyelerinin yalnızca kendi gruplarına ait bireyler için anlam taşıyan sembolik ifadeler kullanmaları, grup aidiyeti yaşamaları ve birbirlerinden farklı bireyler olarak bir araya gelerek ortak bir amaç doğrultusunda dijital bir toplumsal hareket gerçekleştirmeleri sebebiyle GameStop olayının yukarıda bahsedilen kuramlar üzerinden değerlendirebileceğini göstermektedir. Sonuç olarak, grup üyelerinin ortak bir mizah diliyle ortak hedefleri için esprili görsel paylaşımları yaptıkları, bu yolla bir gruba ait olma duygusunu pekiştirdikleri, grup üyeliklerini kimliklerinin önemli bir parçası hâline getirdikleri ve böylelikle GameStop olayının başarıya ulaşmasını sağlayan eylemleri gerçekleştirdikleri anlaşılmaktadır. İlgili alanda Türkçe literatürde çok sayıda araştırma olmaması ve olayın hem iletişim hem de sosyal psikoloji perspektifinden değerlendirilmiş olması sebebiyle özgün bir çalışma olarak alana katkı sağlayabileceği düşünülmektedir.
Türkiye ekonomisinin sektörel istihdam dinamiklerine küreselleşme ve teknolojik gelişme üzerinden ampirik bir bakış: ARDL ve DOLS yöntemlerinden kanıtlar
Authors: Ünal Engin , Bulut Ömer Uğur
Published: December 2024

Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, küreselleşme ve teknolojik gelişmenin Türkiye’deki sektörel istihdam üzerindeki etkilerini incelemektir. Bu doğrultuda, küreselleşme endeksi ve teknolojik gelişme göstergesi olarak AR-GE harcamalarının tarım, sanayi ve hizmet sektörlerinde yarattığı istihdam dinamikleri analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmada 1991-2021 dönemi yıllık verileri kullanılarak ARDL ve DOLS tahmincileri aracılığıyla sektörel düzeyde uzun ve kısa dönem ilişkiler Türkiye örneğinde analiz edilmiştir. ARDL modeli, uzun dönem ilişkilerin yanı sıra kısa dönem dinamiklerin eşzamanlı olarak incelenmesine olanak sağlarken, DOLS tahmincisi eşbütünleşme analizinde elde edilen bulguların sağlamlığını test etmeye olanak sağlamaktadır. Buna göre, Türkiye için tarım, sanayi ve hizmet sektörlerine yönelik üç ayrı model kurulmuş ve her sektör ayrı ayrı değerlendirilmiştir. Küreselleşme endeksi ve AR-GE harcamalarının tarım sektöründe istihdamı olumsuz etkilediği görülmüştür. Küreselleşme ve teknolojik ilerlemeler tarım sektöründe istihdamı azaltırken, sanayi ve hizmet sektörlerinde artırıcı etkiye sahiptir. Özellikle hizmet sektöründe AR-GE harcamalarının istihdam üzerindeki olumlu etkisi sanayiye göre daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Sanayi sektöründe ise küreselleşmenin yeni teknolojilerle entegrasyonu destekleyerek istihdam artışını teşvik ettiği gözlemlenmiştir. Çalışmanın bulguları, ekonomik politika yapıcıları için küreselleşme ve teknolojik gelişmelerin sektörel istihdam üzerindeki etkilerine dair önemli çıkarımlar sunmaktadır. Türkiye örneğinde küreselleşme ve teknolojik gelişmenin sektörel istihdam oranları üzerindeki etkisine ilişkin çalışmalar sınırlıdır. Bu çalışma, ARDL ve DOLS tahmincisini kullanarak tarım, sanayi ve hizmetler sektörlerindeki istihdam oranlarını ayrı ayrı analiz ederek literatüre önemli bir katkı sağlamaktadır. Zaman serisi analizlerinde ARDL ve DOLS yöntemlerinin birlikte kullanılması, elde edilen sonuçların doğruluğunu artırması ve daha geniş bir bakış açısı sağlaması açısından önemli bir yenilik sunmaktadır. Bu yöntemlerin kullanılması, küreselleşme ve teknolojik gelişmenin sektörel düzeydeki etkilerinin daha net bir şekilde ortaya konulmasına yardımcı olmaktadır.
