Application of AHP and MABAC methods in the framework of multi-criteria decision-making in the selection of investment projects
Authors: Đoković Lazar , Doljanica Dragan
Published: December 2023

A multi-attribute decision-making process and ranking of investment projects is almost inevitable today in order to realize and achieve an investment project. We can observe the given process from the aspect of decision theory. Today, it is unthinkable to make a decision on the acceptance of an investment project, without looking at different criteria, the only option is to set the choice of an investment project as a multi-attributive decision-making problem. The goal of this paper is to present a multi-attribute decision-making model, when we have several proposed investment projects and when I want to evaluate the given projects and just rank them for choosing the best method. Based on its wide application, the AHP method will be used to determine the weights of the criteria themselves during the decision-making process, while the MABAC method will be used for the further process of ranking investment projects in order to obtain a single-investment ranking of proposed alternatives, more precisely, proposed investment projects.

İdarenin Öngörme (Planlama) Faaliyeti ve Bu Faaliyetin Deprem Örneği Üzerinden Önemini Anlamak
Authors: Ceylan Mahmut
Published: December 2023

Öngörme (planlama) faaliyeti, idarenin öteki faaliyetlerini doğrudan ilgilendiren, hukuki rejimi farklılık arz eden bir idari faaliyettir. Genel olarak devletin planlama yetkisi olduğu gibi, yürütmenin altında konumlanmış olan idarenin de planlama yetkisi vardır. Bu çalışmanın konusu idari faaliyet olan “öngörme faaliyeti”dir. İdare kamu yararı amacıyla insanların sağlığını, güvenliğini, refahını korumak ve kalkınmayı sağlamak için belli planlar ihdas edip bunlara uygun hareket etmelidir. İdarenin başarısız öngörme faaliyeti topluma ciddi zararlar vereceği gibi devleti de ekonomik, sosyal, politik, milli güvenlik yönlerinden son derece olumsuz etkilemesi olasıdır. Bu idari faaliyetin önemini anlamak için deprem realitesine bakmak yeterli olacaktır. Türkiye’de yaşanan depremler neticesinde bu idari faaliyete gerekli önemin verilmediği görülmektedir. Başarılı bir öngörme faaliyetinin yürütülmesi ve ortaya konulacak planların ve bu kapsamdaki mevziatın uygulanması ihtimalinde ortaya çıkan olumsuz neticelerin birçoğunun gerçekleşmeyeceğini söylemek mümkündür. Dolayısıyla doktrinin, yargının ve idarecilerin bu konuyu hassasiyetle ele alıp geliştirmesi elzemdir.
Yüksek Mahkeme Kararlarına Göre Yabancılık Unsuru İçeren Bireysel İş Sözleşmelerine Uygulanacak Hukuk
Authors: Serbest Fatih
Published: December 2023

Yabancılık unsuru içeren bireysel iş sözleşmelerinden doğan uyuşmazlıklara hangi ülke hukukunun uygulanması gerektiği, Türkiye’de 5718 sayılı Milletlerarası Özel Hukuk ve Usul Hukuku Hakkında Kanun’un 27. maddesinde düzenlenmiştir. Ancak Yargıtay 2020 tarihinden önceki kararlarında iş hukukunun emredici niteliğini dikkate alarak, taraflarca seçilen hukukun, işçinin Türk hukukundaki haklarını kısıtlaması söz konusu olduğunda MÖHUK m. 27/4 uyarınca Türk hukukunun uygulanması gerektiğine hükmetmekteydi. 2020 yılından sonraki karalarında ise istikrarlı olarak MÖHUK m. 27/1 uyarınca seçilen hukukun geçerli olduğunu ve işçinin mutad işyeri hukukunun emredici hükümleri saklı kalmak koşuluyla bu tercihe saygı duymak gerektiğini belirtmiştir. Anılan karalarda, taraflarca bir hukuk seçimi yapılmış ise, MÖHUK m. 27/4'te belirtilen akitle daha sıkı ilişkili hukuk araştırmasına yapılmayacağına karar vermektedir. Bununla birlikte bazı Bölge Adliye Mahkemeleri hala çeşitli gerekçelerle Yargıtay 9. Hukuk Dairesi'nin tarafların hukuk seçimine uyulması gerektiği karalarına karşı direnerek Türk hukukunun en sıkı ilişkili hukuk olarak uygulanması gerektiğine karar vermektedir. Yargıtay Hukuk Genel Kurulu 10.05.2023 tarihinde yayınladığı kararda bu konuyu enine boyuna değerlendirmiştir. Çalışmamızda, Yüksek Mahkeme Karaları arasında farklılıklara ve Hukuk Genel Kurulu’nun detaylı analizler içeren kararına yer verilecek olup, öğretide bu alanda yapılan çalışmalara atıf yapılarak kendi görüş ve önerilerimiz sunulacaktır.

Published: December 2023

In the information age like now, waves are very influential on human life. Almost all living creatures on earth are inseparable from the use of waves. One of them is X-ray and ultrasound waves. The use of X-rays and ultrasonic (USG) waves in various fields, especially in the health sector, is an important aspect of technological development. As well as its application in the medical and industrial fields. Electromagnetic waves, especially X-rays, have become an irreplaceable diagnostic instrument in visualizing the internal structure of the human body. The various benefits of X-rays are explained, from diagnosing bone fractures to radiotherapy treatment for cancer. On the other hand, ultrasound is used for pregnancy checks, monitoring the condition of the fetus, and detecting tumors and other disorders. Although ultrasound does not use direct X-ray waves, the integration of X-ray processing technology can increase image resolution and provide more comprehensive information. In this article, we will discuss several benefits of waves, namely X-ray and ultrasound waves. X-rays use electromagnetic waves with a higher frequency that are ionizing. Meanwhile, ultrasound uses ultrasonic waves with non-ionization properties. The use of X-ray and ultrasound waves includes the medical and industrial fields. The research method uses literature studies by collecting and analyzing information from various credible sources obtained from 15 journals and 3 books. The results of the literature analysis include definitions, frequencies, and wavelengths, as well as the benefits and properties of X-rays and ultrasound. Although both are rarely used, some techniques combine them to increase image resolution and clarity.

Analysis of people’s mode selection behavior is crucial to any public transportation planning and management system. It may be used to gauge public interest in and preference for various forms of transportation. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of how and why consumers pick certain automobiles, motorcycles, and public transportation options. The study also hopes to learn why individuals prefer using the bus or train instead of driving themselves. Several variables influencing the selection of a mode were analyzed, and primary and secondary data were obtained to do so. The city of Makassar was surveyed in order to get primary data. Examining how government workers in Makassar get to and from work is the focus of this research. Using the Stated Preference method, 352 participants from various government agencies were surveyed and split into two groups. Multinomial logistic analysis was conducted using statistical testing and the STATA statistical program. The estimate of the quantitative model takes into account two sets of variables: personal traits and trip features. According to the results, this form of transportation has more value and likelihood of use than other modes.
Development Of The Emergent Theory In Fostering Caring And Leadership Resiliency In Times Of Public Health Emergencies
Authors:   Bataan Peninsula State University / St Paul University Philippines, D. Dela Rosa Ronnell
Published: December 2023

Nurse Leaders managing hospitals and healthcare facilities are challenged with their traditional inherits of caring and resiliency. Their nursing philosophy of caring and resiliency tested their leadership abilities and the scope of their governance in managing their clinical units. Nurses are becoming sick and resulting positive with rapid test kits on the disease. Others are resigning from their posts to protect their families and significant others. The nursing shortage is becoming evident and being felt by nurse leaders. Their leadership and governance were caught unaware of the existence of these global disease outbreaks, leading to countless works and untiring delivery of holistic care among patients with COVID-19 cases. As regards, the paper focuses on the construct of emerging theory in caring and resiliency among nurse leaders holding the highest position in the nursing service, meeting a lot of challenges in the new normal of their praxis on nursing management during the pandemic crisis. As front-liners in the healthcare system experiencing a pandemic crisis, fear, anxiety, and their psychological well-being are at risk while burnout and compassion fatigue are at stake to be observed. It is high time for nurse leaders to revisit their leadership and management programs to ensure that they are creating a cross-cultural environment where nurses foster holistic caring and resiliency.

Since the 1950s, extreme precipitation frequency has increased and produced more rain in many parts of the world. The threat of flooding is the most immediate effect of heavy rain. This danger is magnified in cities, where impermeable pavements compel water to flow swiftly into sewer systems. In this study, the extreme value Type 1 (Gumbel), Normal, and Log-Pearson Type III probability distributions have been utilized to perform flood frequency analysis on the peak annual series discharge data of 16 stations at Johor state for the water years 2010 to 2020. The predicted design floods for the return periods of 2 years, 5 years, 10 years,50 years, 100 years, and 1000 years were obtained and compared. Our results indicate that the Gumbel type 3 distribution predicted larger discharge values in most of the stations.
“Müttaḳîn” Kelimesinin Nüzûl Ortamında Kazandığı Bağlamlar
Authors: TUĞBERK Yavuz
Published: December 2023

Her kutsal kitap gönderildiği peygamberin ve toplumun konuştuğu dil üzerine indirilmiştir. Doğal olarak Kur’an da anlaşılma hedefini gerçekleştirmek için ilk muhatap aldığı Arap toplumundaki kelimeleri, üslubu, edebi tarzları ve dil mantığını kullanmış ve Arapça bir söz olarak vahyedilmiştir. Ancak dilin dinamik yapısı bu ortamda da kendini göstermiş ve lafızların bağlamı nüzûl ortamına uyumlu olarak değişebilmiştir. Kavramların Arap dilinde bulunan kök anlamı çoğunlukla muhafaza edilmiş ve fakat delaleti Mekke ve Medine ikliminde farklılaşabilmiştir. Dolayısıyla Arap toplumunun kullandığı kelimeler Kur’ân’a özgü yeni bir semantik anlam alanı içerisine girmiştir. Böyle bir süreçte bazı kelimelerin kullanımının süregeldiği dönemdeki anlamını koruduğu görülürken bazılarının ise anlam daralması veya genişlemesine uğradığı hatta tamamen yeni bir anlam kazandığı da görülebilmektedir. Allah’ın kelamında vaad ettiği, dünyaya veya ahirete yönelik mükafatlara ulaşabilmenin en doğru yolu da sahip olunması gereken vasfın bir bütün halinde benimsenip uygulanmasıdır. Hitabın muhataptan bağımsız olamayacağı bir hakikattir. Hitabın doğru kavranması diğer unsurlarla beraber muhataba da bağlıdır. Sözü kimin söylediği ne kadar önemliyse kime, nerede, niçin ve ne zaman söylendiği de o kadar önemlidir. Bu açıdan Kur’ân’ın ilk muhatabı olan Hz. Peygamber’in hayat serüveni ve onun nüzûl ile olan bağlantısı dikkatten kaçmaması gereken bir olgulardan birisidir. Ayrıca sözü değerli kılacak unsurlardan bir diğeri de muktezayı hale uygun olmasıdır. Çalışmada vahyin nüzûlünü Hz. Peygamber’in hayat seyriyle, Mekke ve Medine dönemiyle birlikte ele alarak oluşturulan bir nüzûl tertibinin temel alınma sebebi de burada olduğu gibi çalışmayı farklı kılacak ana unsur da buradadır. Çünkü daha önce yazılan kitap, tez ve makaleler müttakîn kavramına özel bir araştırma içermediği gibi kavramın ortamı açısından içerdiği bağlamına yer vermekten de uzaktır. Çalışmada “müttaḳîn” kelimesinin siyer odaklı bir nüzûl tertibi esas alınarak vahiy sürecinde kazandığı bağlamsal anlamların tespit edilmesi, Kur’ân’ın resmettiği müttaḳîn portresinin ortaya konması ve vahyin ortama uygun geliş mükemmeliyetinin ispatlanması amaçlanmıştır. Ayrıca özellikle anlam merkezli meâl çalışmalarında müttakîn kelimesinin geçtiği âyetlerde bağlamıyla birlikte anlamlandırılmasına bir farkındalık oluşturma da hedefler arasındadır. Önce kavramın kendi nüzûl dönemindeki manası bağlamı açısından tespit edilecek, sonuç bölümünde ise Mekke ve Medine ortamında müttakînin delalet ettiği anlamlar bütün halinde verilecektir. Bu amaçların gerçekleşmesinde iç bağlam daha çok göz önünde bulundurulacak, siyak ve sibak yöntemine ağırlık verilecektir. Çalışmanın sonucunda müttaḳîn kavramının kök anlamını korumakla birlikte dış ve iç bağlama uygun olarak anlamlarının çeşitlendiği, Mekke ve Medinedeki nüzûl ortamının gereklerine uygun olan durumları ifade edecek bir anlama büründüğü görülmüştür.
Social Stockholm Syndrome: The Sample of Jews
Authors: ŞAHİNER Kerem Tarık
Published: December 2023

Stockholm syndrome is defined as the development of an emotional attachment by a captive or prisoner to his or her captor. In this context, the hostage feels an attachment to the hostage taker. This term originated in a bank robbery in the city of Stockholm when one of the hostages was unable to separate from the robber after the robber released him. The hostage was involved in the crime as a voluntary part of the robbery. This theme, which is treated individually in psychology, has a social and historical dimension in the case of the Israelites. What we mean by the conceptualisation of "Social Stockholm Syndrome" is the attempt to explain the social reflexes such as admiration and imitation developed by the lower stratum society against the upper stratum society after the societies, like individuals, have been in a second class position under the hierarchical superiority of another society at any time in history, tortured, enslaved or enslaved.
THE DYNAMIC CONCEPTION OF THE SOCIAL IN THE PHILOSOPHY OF CORNELIUS CASTORIADIS
Authors: Fours Vladimir , Furs Veranika
Published: December 2023

The article presents a reconstruction of the dynamic conception of the social in the philosophy of Cornelius Castoriadis. A meticulous study of the philosopher’s most important works reveals, on the basis of various ideas about society and politics, the original version of his integral conception of the social. The reconstruction of this conception required a four-step study: (1) an analysis of his critique of “naïve realism” in the perception of social life; (2) an analysis of the method of revealing a symbolic component of social “things” in the interpretation of social institutions as functional-symbolic networks; (3) a study of the thematization of the virtual dimension of social life (Castoriadis’s construction of the metaphoric ontology of the “magma” of social imaginary significations, his perception of society as a dynamic (“social-historic”) formation, an elucidation of the duality of establishing and established); (4) an analysis of the way of a justification of a political project of autonomy. Our reconstruction demonstrates that the idea of autonomy is not a consequence but a cause of Castoriadis’s dynamic conception of the social. Nevertheless, in the context of the notion of “multiple modernities”, the idea of autonomy, being a key characteristic of “modernity”, can be understood not as universal content but as a universal form. The regulatory horizon of “politics” (of the project of autonomy) is determined from the reverse — depending on what is identified as heteronomy in a given set of concrete circumstances. The interpretation we propose will allow us to proceed more consistently from the principle of the diversity of “modernities”. It seems, also, that Castoriadis’s position itself is characterized by two “defects”: first, his conception of the social-historical world is based on the metaphoric ontology of the “magma”, and, second, the “philosophy of autonomy” is dualistic.
THE IM/MEDIACY OF THE WAR
Authors: Ousmanova Almira
Published: December 2023

In the given article, the author addresses the issue of the perception of war in the information age through the prism of the concept of “im/mediacy”, considered in several interconnected aspects. Of special interest are the following questions: How the effect of the im/mediacy of the war is being constructed and produced in the current political, media, cultural and technological context? What factors define the distancing of and/or proximity of the war, and what role do the languages of war and resistance (as tools of communication) play in this process? The author discusses these key issues on the example of two specific cases — the full-scale Russian war against Ukraine that started in 2022, and the undeclared war of the authoritarian regime in Belarus against civil society that began in 2020. The author places this discussion in a larger context of the debates on decolonization of knowledge and culture in the ex-Soviet spaces. The conceptual framework employed combines semiotics, deco- lonial approach and poststructuralist philosophy.
DESIGN IN THE CONTEXT OF THE CONTEMPORARY CULTURAL SITUATION: STATUS TRANSFORMATION
Authors: Frolova Natallya
Published: December 2023

This study examines the changing status of design in the context of its relation with art. Currently, design has overcome its peripheral position and transformed into a special creative project activity aimed at harmonization of modern human life, solving the problems of artistic and imaginative structuring, transformation and communication of objective-spatial, procedural and sign-informative human environment.

The factors determining the actual position of design in culture are the totality and globalism of design, institutionalization of collective design, collecting and market structure of design products, high cost of collective design objects, growth and consolidation of the influence of museums of design in the world.

The paper is concluded that at the present stage there has been a transformation in the status of design and it is trying to reclaim more space in the culture. Design aims to give the consumer new impressions and emotions and this proves that it is not only an activity to transform the object-spatial world of man, but also a new form of human interaction with the design product.
WORKING WITH THE IMAGINARY IN THE FASCIST AND COMMUNIST SOCIETIES AND OVERCOMING SOCIAL HETERONOMY IN THE THEORY OF C. CASTORIADIS
Authors: Barkouski Pavel
Published: December 2023

The article raises the question of fundamental identification and difference between the totalitarian regimes of fascism/Nazism and com- munism, followed by a discussion of their status in the first period of the post-Soviet political transit. The main arguments in favour of identifying both types of totalitarianism and marking fundamental moments of dis- tinction were reflected in the polemic of A. Besançon and L. Kołakowski. Criticism of the totalitarianism of fascist and communist types in the works of the French philosopher of Greek origin Cornelius Castoriadis al- lows seeing the features that connect most totalitarian regimes despite the difference in their ideological programs, which can represent a cer- tain threat even for modern societies. It also highlights those points of the Russian (Soviet) project of Communist society that allow differentiating between the Nazi and Communistic types of the Imaginary. Finally, the article considers the main types of public heteronomy, characteristic of totalitarian and authoritarian regimes, as well as the neoliberal model of consumption society. According to Castoriadis, they are contrary to the ideas of social emancipation, replacing it with their principles of (pseudo) rational domination, against which his own project of collective social au- tonomy stands.

Authors: Arief Firmansyah  , Amirudin
Published: December 2023

Pesantren is the oldest educational institution with unique Indonesian characteristics, so that various perspectives have been studied, especially the periodization of its history. However, the study of the periodization of the history of pesantren so far has tended to be general in terms of their roles and work. Not to mention the simplicity, the manhaj system that seems to be what it is, the relationship between kyai and santri and the physical situation is simple. On this basis, this paper will examine more deeply about the role of Islamic boarding schools in the history of education in Indonesia. Based on historical-periodic analysis Through literature study, the history of Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia is divided into five periods, namely: birth and development, evolution, ideological bastion, and Muslim development media. Meanwhile, his role is as an inspiration in formulating the national education system, creating educational intellectua figures and character education models.
A New Theory of Damage Estimation and Fatigue Life Prediction
Authors: AL-Bedhany Jasim , LEGUTKO Stanisław , AL-Maliki Ali , A. Mankhi Tahseen
Published: December 2023

There are a considerable number of fatigue damage estimation theories and fatigue life prediction of mechanical components. The most popular one is Palmgren-Minor (P-M) theory. This theory has been used in the standards for selecting the bearing –as a component subject to fatigue loading- and for expecting the bearings lives. In Wind Turbine Gearboxes (WTGs), the bearings were selected to be without maintenance for 20 to 25 years; however, in real service life, the bearing suffer from premature failure within a life span of quite less than the design life (1 to 5 years). A new applicable methodology and a procedure of calculation for damage estimation due to fatigue loading and predicting the life has been suggested and tested.  Results of 20 rolling and sliding tests which conducted under severe contact loading are used to test this method. The suggested method depends on calculating the number of operating cycles under a specific contact loading level to an equivalent number of loading cycles under the average loading level. This method depends on the area under the S-N curve without any correction or loading factors and can be used to predict the WTG bearings failure to manage the maintenance because the current life prediction standards have very high percentages of error (> 400%). The reliability of this approach can be further verified by utilizing actual operational data from Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), used for overseeing wind turbine operations. Additional examinations are necessary to confirm the dependability of this novel method.
Comparative Analysis of GA-PRM Algorithm Performance in Simulation and Real-World Robotics Applications
Authors: Sabeeh Sarah , Al-Furati , Israa S.
Published: December 2023

Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the performance of the Genetic Algorithm Probabilistic Roadmap (GA-PRM) algorithm in both simulated and real-world robotic environments. The GA-PRM algorithm is a promising approach for robot path planning, and understanding its behavior in different settings is crucial for its practical applications. In simulations, we explore the advantages of controlled and reproducible test conditions, allowing for extensive parameter tuning and algorithm improvement. Real-world testing is employed to validate the algorithm's performance in actual robotic environments, taking into account the inherent complexities and uncertainties present. In our comparative analysis, we found that the GA-PRM algorithm demonstrates significant improvements in real-world scenarios compared to simulations. Specifically, the algorithm produced shorter paths in real-world robot testing, with an average length of 21.428 cm, as opposed to 25.6235 units in simulations. Moreover, the computational efficiency of the algorithm was notably enhanced in the real-world environment, where it took only 0.375 seconds on average to plan paths, compared to 0.6881 seconds in simulations. The algorithm also exhibited higher path smoothness in the real world, with an average smoothness score of 0.432, compared to 0.3133 in simulations. These results underscore the algorithm's adaptability to real-world conditions and its potential for efficient navigation in practical healthcare and automation applications. Our research bridges the gap between simulation and reality, facilitating the development of more reliable and adaptable robotic systems. The insights gained from this comparative evaluation contribute to a deeper understanding of the GA-PRM algorithm's behavior and its potentials.
