Published: December 2022

Despite previous coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccinations and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections, SARS-CoV-2 still causes a substantial number of infections due to the waning of immunity and the emergence of new variants. Here, we assessed the SARS-CoV-2 spike subunit 1 (S1)-specific T cell responses, anti-SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain (RBD) IgG serum concentrations, and the neutralizing activity of serum antibodies before and one, four, and seven months after the BNT162b2 or mRNA-1273 booster vaccination in a cohort of previously infected and infection-naïve healthcare workers (HCWs). Additionally, we assessed T cell responses against the spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 Delta, Omicron BA.1 and BA.2 variants of concern (VOC). We found that S1-specific T cell responses, anti-RBD IgG concentrations, and neutralizing activity significantly increased one month after booster vaccination. Four months after booster vaccination, T cell and antibody responses significantly decreased but levels remained steady thereafter until seven months after booster vaccination. After a similar number of vaccinations, previously infected individuals had significantly higher S1-specific T cell, anti-RBD IgG, and neutralizing IgG responses than infection-naïve HCWs. Strikingly, we observed overall cross-reactive T cell responses against different SARS-CoV-2 VOC in both previously infected and infection-naïve HCWs. In summary, COVID-19 booster vaccinations induce strong T cell and neutralizing antibody responses and the presence of T cell responses against SARS-CoV-2 VOC suggest that vaccine-induced T cell immunity offers cross-reactive protection against different VOC.
Advantage Actor-Critic for Autonomous Intersection Management
Authors: Ayeelyan John , Lee Guan-Hung , Hsu Hsiu-Chun , Hsiung Pao-Ann
Published: December 2022

With increasing urban population, there are more and more vehicles, causing traffic congestion. In order to solve this problem, the development of an efficient and fair intersection management system is an important issue. With the development of intelligent transportation systems, the computing efficiency of vehicles and vehicle-to-vehicle communications are becoming more advanced, which can be used to good advantage in developing smarter systems. As such, Autonomous Intersection Management (AIM) proposals have been widely discussed. This research proposes an intersection management system based on Advantage Actor-Critic (A2C) which is a type of reinforcement learning. This method can lead to a fair and efficient intersection resource allocation strategy being learned. In our proposed approach, we design a reward function and then use this reward function to encourage a fair allocation of intersection resources. The proposed approach uses a brake-safe control to ensure that autonomous moving vehicles travel safely. An experiment is performed using the SUMO simulator to simulate traffic at an isolated intersection, and the experimental performance is compared with Fast First Service (FFS) and GAMEOPT in terms of throughput, fairness, and maximum waiting time. The proposed approach increases fairness by 20% to 40%, and the maximum waiting time is reduced by 20% to 36% in high traffic flow. The inflow rates are increased, average waiting time is reduced, and throughput is increased.
Equivalent Static Wind Load for Structures with Inerter-Based Vibration Absorbers
Authors: Su Ning , Peng Shitao , Chen Zhaoqing , Hong Ningning , Uematsu Yasushi
Published: December 2022

Equivalent Static Wind Loads (ESWL) are desired in structural design to consider peak dynamic wind effects. Conventional ESWLs are for structures without control. For flexible structures with vibration control devices, the investigation of ESWL is required. Inerter-based Vibration Absorbers (IVAs), due to the light weight and high performance, gained much research attention recently. This paper established a generic analytical framework of ESWL for structures with IVAs. The analytical optimal design formulas for IVAs with different configurations and installation locations are provided. Subsequently, the solutions to uncontrolled and controlled wind-induced responses are derived based on the filter approach. Finally, the ESWL for controlled structures are presented with a gust response factor approach. The ESWL estimation for a tall chimney controlled by IVAs is illustrated, and the results revealed a significant ESWL reduction effect of the IVAs, particularly for the cross-wind vortex resonance. In the presented framework, the conventional uncontrolled ESWL can be converted to the controlled one with a control ratio. The closed form solution of the control ratio is provided, which enables a quick estimation of ESWL for controlled structures particularly in the preliminary design stage. The presented approach has the potential to be extended to more complex structures and vibration control devices.

The Crimean Peninsula in modern Russian-Turkish relations
Authors:   The Middle East Club of the Scientific Student Society MGIMO (U) of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, Naryshkin A.
Published: December 2022

This article examines the impact of the Crimean factor on contemporary Russian-Turkish relations. It assesses and forecasts the development of Russia-Turkey relations in the context of growing tensions between Russia and NATO. An analysis of Turkish projects aimed at manipulating the Crimean Tatar aspect is conducted. In particular, it is shown that Turkey, acting in the "Crimean issue" out of its own long-term interests, objectively becomes an opponent of Russia, which can subsequently lead to an aggravation of confl icts with our country. At the same time, Crimea is increasingly becoming one of the stumbling blocks for the positive long-term development of healthy Russian-Turkish relations. Taking into account Ankara's political pragmatism, it is advisable to proceed from the fact that the removal of this obstacle depends on the speedy positive resolution of the "Ukrainian issue" for Moscow as a whole.
General practice management of COPD patients following acute exacerbations: a qualitative study
Authors: Perera Bianca , Barton Chris , Osadnik Christian
Published: December 2022

Background

Exacerbations are the strongest risk factor for future exacerbations for patients living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The period immediately following exacerbation is a high-risk period for recurrence and hospital admission, and is a critical time to intervene. GPs are ideally positioned to deliver this care.

Aim

To explore perceptions of GPs regarding the care of patients following exacerbations of COPD and to identify factors affecting the provision of evidence-based care.

Design and setting

A descriptive qualitative study was undertaken involving semi-structured, in-depth interviews with Australian GPs who volunteered to participate following a national survey of general practice care for COPD patients following exacerbations.

Method

Interviews were conducted via the Zoom video conference platform, which were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. QSR NVivo was used to support data management, coding, and inductive thematic analysis.

Results

Eighteen GPs completed interviews. Six key themes were identified: 1) GPs’ perceptions and knowledge in the management of COPD patients following exacerbation and admission to hospital; 2) pharmacological management; 3) consultation time; 4) communication between healthcare professionals; 5) access to other health services; and 6) patient compliance.

Conclusion

Delivery of post-exacerbation care to COPD patients is affected by GPs, patients, and health service-related factors. The care of COPD patients may be further improved by supporting GPs to overcome identified barriers.

A Rule-Induction Approach for Building an Arabic Language Interfaces to Databases
Authors: Hanane Bais , Mustapha Machkour
Published: December 2022

In the field of Natural Language Interfaces for Databases (NLIDB), most of the solutions considered for translating natural language queries into database query language is based on linguistic operations. The application of these operations makes it possible to translate the natural language queries into an unambiguous logical interpretation. However, this task is extremely complex and requires excessive time. While nowadays emphasis is placed on the use of machine learning approaches to automate the operation of natural language processing systems. From this, the automation of the natural language queries translation process into a logical interpretation is interesting and remains a major challenge in the field NLIDB. Also, it can have a direct impact on reducing the complexity of the operation of NLIDB. In this study, we focused on applying a new approach to automate the operation of NLIDB. In this approach, we applied a supervised learning technique to induce rules that transform natural language queries into unambiguous expressions.
Framework of Geofence Service using Dummy Location Privacy Preservation in Vehicular Cloud Network
Authors: Al-Balasmeh Hani , Singh Maninder , Singh Raman
Published: December 2022

With the increasing prevalence of different mobile apps, many applications require users to enable the location service on their devices. For example, the geofence service can be defined as establishing virtual geographical boundaries. Enabling this service triggers entering and exiting the boundary area and notifies the users and trusted third parties. The foremost concern of using geofence is the privacy of location coordinates shared among different applications. In this paper, a framework called ‘TIET-GEO’ is proposed that allows users to define the geofence boundary; in addition, it monitors Global Positioning System (GPS) devices in real-time when they enter/exit a specific area. The proposed framework also proposes a dummy privacy preservation algorithm to generate K-dummy locations around the real trajectories when the user requests the Point Of Interest (POI) from the Location-Based Services (LBS). This article aims to enhance the location privacy preservation in geofence service, by generating a k-dummy location around the user location based on the radius size of the geofence area. The proposed framework uses token keys authentication to authorize the users in the Vehicular Cloud Network (VCN) service by generating secret token keys authentication between the client and services. The results obtained show the effectiveness of the proposed framework was on parameters like flexibility and reliability of responses from different sources, such as smart IoT devices and datasets.
Optimization of 3D Printing Parameters Using the Taguchi Method to Improve Dimensional Precision
Authors: Wicaksono Martinus Bagus , Felix Krisna Aji Nugraha
Published: December 2022

The combination of parameters in the product printing process with Polylactic Acid (PLA) material using the ANET ET4 PRO 3D printer is carried out to obtain optimal parameters to produce accurate dimensions in the printing process. The most popular type of 3D printer is the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) type, which uses melted plastic raw materials to form products. In the existing printing process, the accuracy of the dimension is the main problem owned by users of this 3D printer technology. Especially when these products have to be assembled into a mechanism. The resulting accuracy is greatly influenced by the selection of process parameters used during the printing process. The parameter optimization process using the Taguchi method was chosen because this method is very good at overcoming deviations from the target so that the best quality of the product can be achieved. The optimization process of this parameter will be carried out using a ring-shaped specimen with an outer diameter of 30 mm, an inner diameter of 20 mm, and a height of 20 mm. This deviation in the size of the inner diameter of the ring would be the reference for measuring the quality of the printed object. From the experiments, the most optimal level values for each factor are as follows: the Nozzle Temperature: 200 °C, the Bed Temperature: 62 °C, the Room Temperature: 34 °C, the Infill Percentage: 40%, the Layer Height: 0.25 mm, the Printing Speed: 20 mm⁄s.

How Political Contexts Influence Education Systems: Patterns, Constraints, Entry Points
Authors: Levy Brian
Published: December 2022

This paper synthesises the findings of a set of country studies commissioned by the RISE Programme to explore the influence of politics and power on education sector policymaking and implementation. The synthesis groups the countries into three political-institutional contexts: Dominant contexts, where power is centred around a political leader and a hierarchical governance structure. As the Vietnam case details, top-down leadership potentially can provide a robust platform for improving learning outcomes. However, as the case studies of Ethiopia, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Tanzania illustrate, all-too-often dominant leaders’ goals vis-à-vis the education sector can veer in other directions. In impersonal competitive contexts, a combination of strong formal institutions and effective processes of resolving disagreements can, on occasion, result in a shared commitment among powerful interests to improve learning outcomes—but in none of the case studies is this outcome evident. In Peru, substantial learning gains have been achieved despite messy top-level politics. But the Chilean, Indian, and South African case studies suggest that the all-too-common result of rule-boundedness plus unresolved political contestation over the education sector’s goals is some combination of exaggerated rule compliance and/or performative isomorphic mimicry. Personalised competitive contexts (Bangladesh, Ghana, and Kenya for example) lack the seeming strengths of either their dominant or their impersonal competitive contexts; there are multiple politically-influential groups and multiple, competing goals—but no credible framework of rules to bring coherence either to political competition or to the education bureaucracy. The case studies show that political and institutional constraints can render ineffective many specialised sectoral interventions intended to improve learning outcomes. But they also point to the possibility that ‘soft governance’ entry points might open up some context-aligned opportunities for improving learning outcomes. In dominant contexts, the focus might usefully be on trying to influence the goals and strategies of top-level leadership. In impersonal competitive contexts, it might be on strengthening alliances between mission-oriented public officials and other developmentally-oriented stakeholders. In personalised competitive contexts, gains are more likely to come from the bottom-up—via a combination of local-level initiatives plus a broader effort to inculcate a shared sense among a country’s citizenry of ‘all for education’.

Published: December 2022

Günümüzde şehirlerde, küresel ısınma, nüfus artışı ve kaynakların tükenmesi gibi sorunları çözmek ve kamusal hizmet sunumunu güçlendirmek için teknolojik gelişmelere de paralel olarak bir arayış mevcuttur. Etkili çözümler üretilmesinde ise bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerindeki yenilikler önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Dijital ikiz şehir fenomeni de bu arayışların ve teknolojideki yeniliklerin bir sonucu olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Türkçe literatürde akıllı şehirler ile ilgili çok sayıda çalışma bulunmasına rağmen uluslararası literatürün gündeminde yer alan ve akıllı şehirlerin inşasında yeni bir başlangıç noktası olarak kabul edilen dijital ikiz şehirlere ilişkin herhangi bir araştırmaya rastlanılmamaktadır. Söz konusu eksiklikten hareketle çalışmanın amacı, dijital ikiz şehir fenomeninin teori ve uygulama boyutuyla ortaya konulmasıdır. Nitel bir araştırma tasarımına sahip olan bu çalışmada, literatür incelemesi ve doküman analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Bu bağlamda çalışmada dijital çağ yönetişimi, dijital ikiz ve dijital ikiz şehir kavramları ele alınmakta, ardından dünyanın çeşitli şehirlerinden dijital ikiz örneklerine yer verilmekte ve son olarak ise dijital ikiz şehirler ile ilgili Türkiye’deki mevcut durum ve yönelimler değerlendirilmektedir. Sonuç olarak dijital ikiz şehirlerin kent yaşamının sürdürülebilirliğini olumlu yönde etkileme potansiyeli taşıdığı söylenebilir. Bununla birlikte dijital ikiz şehir teknolojisi çerçevesinde pratikte gerçekleştirilenlerin teorideki beklentileri karşılayacak düzeye henüz ulaşmadığı, bunun arka planında ise teknik ve ekonomik yetersizliklerin yanı sıra güvenlik endişelerinin yer aldığı belirtilmelidir. Ancak dijital ikiz şehirlerin teknolojik yeniliklere paralel bir şekilde gelişmesi ve bu fenomene verilen önemin ve gösterilen ilginin giderek artması teori ile pratik arasındaki farkın kapanacağına işaret etmektedir.

Published: December 2022

The implantation of B atoms into BaSi2 epitaxial films grown by molecular beam epitaxy was performed to form p-type BaSi2 films. It was revealed by Raman spectroscopy that the ion-implantation damage induced in the implanted BaSi2 films was recovered by post-annealing at 600 °C or higher temperatures for 64 min. The hole concentration increased up to 3.1 × 1018 cm−3 at room temperature, indicating that B-ion-implanted p-BaSi2 films are applicable as a hole transport layer. The B-ion-implanted p-BaSi2/n-Si heterojunction solar cells showed rectifying current-voltage characteristics under AM1.5 G illumination and the internal quantum efficiency reached 72% at the wavelength of 900 nm. The conversation efficiency was 2.2%. These results open new routes for the formation methods of BaSi2 solar cells.

Published: December 2022

Bahasa adalah salah satu ciri yang paling khas yang membedakan manusia dengan makhluk lain. Bahasa berfungsi sebagai alat komunikasi. Melalui bahasa manusia dapat bertukar pikiran, menyampaikan gagasan, dan berinteraksi dengan sesamanya. Peristiwa alih kode dan campur kode pada umumnya masih banyak ditemukan dalam berbagai kegiatan di Madasarh Tsanawiyah Negeri 8 Tabalong Kalimantan Selatan. Hal ini disebabkan oleh keterikatan penutur dengan bahasa yang digunakannya dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Penggunaan alih kode dan campur kode penting diperhatikan dalam kegiatan pendidikan, khususnya saat interaksi pembelajaran. Dengan memperhatikan penggunaan bahasa dengan tepat, maka hasil belajar mengajar dapat berjalan efektif dan efisien. Seorang guru bahasa Indonesia, sebaiknya menghindari penggunaan campur kode. Penggunaan campur kode yang terlalu banyak dalam proses belajar mengajar merupakan fenomena yang kurang baik. Hal ini mengingat guru adalah contoh teladan bagi peserta didiknya dalam pemakaian bahasa Indonesia yang baik dan benar. Guru menggunakan alih kode pada proses pembelajaran mungkin saja diperbolehkan, seperti berfungsi sebagai penguatan pada materi yang disampaikan. Namun, jika peralihan kode tersebut berkelanjutan atau tidak sesuai dengan situasi dan komunikasi tertentu, maka hal tersebut akan mengarah kepada kesalahan berbahasa. Pada hakikatnya, penggunaan alih kode yang dilakukan oleh guru dalam menyampaikan materi pelajaran tidak salah apabila sesuai dengan konteks dan tujuan pembelajaran karena situasi sangat mempengaruhi ragam bahasa yang digunakan

This study analyzes how the form of protection of Indonesian personal data after the enactment of the PDP Law by using components in the personal data protection ecosystem as parameters, namely data subjects, data controllers and data processors, data protection officers and personal data protection supervisory agencies. Using normative legal research methods, this study found that the regulation of the 4 components has been accommodated in principle in the PDP Law. The balance between the protection of individuals on the one hand and the public interest on the other is tried to be accommodated in the principles behind the PDP Law and the reduction of the implementation of some norms. The composition of the norms shows that the processing of personal data, especially the obligations of the data controller, is the focus of regulation. The role of a data protection officer to ensure regulatory compliance is complemented by a risk mitigation function. The existence of data protection as service is also accommodated in the PDP Law. The supervisory agency is given a series of authorities with detailed details of investigative authority. The PDP Law as a compact regulation requires various implementing regulations, including provisions issued by institutions and sectoral regulations. The support of understanding and strengthening of all parties in the personal data protection ecosystem absolutely needs to be carried out immediately as an effort to realize compliance by minimizing protection failures and unauthorized processing as a preventive measure. Preventive measures should be used as a key option in the data protection regime. Therefore, discussions regarding the protection of personal data continue to move dynamically following emerging legal and social developments.

The potentiodynamic polarization of aluminium 6063 alloy reinforced with silicon carbide (SiC) and palm kernel shell ash (PKSA) particulates at various mixing ratios were investigated. Double stir casting method was adopted for the production of the hybrid reinforced composites. The existence of the reinforcements within the matrix alloy acted as active sites for corrosion initiation. Hence, pitting corrosion was observed. The range of values for Ecorr and Icorr obtained at 24 h in 1.0 M H2SO4 were between -627.74 and -644.46 mV, and between 423.81 and 860.23 µA/cm2, respectively. The Ecorr values ranged from -654 to -697.22 mV, and the Icorr ranged from 1075.65 to 3057.16 µA/cm2 at 72 h in 1.0 M H2SO4. The relative resistance to corrosion of the samples is dependent on the thin oxide film formed on the surface of the samples.

Antitrust economists have generally supported the Consumer Welfare Standard as a guide to antitrust policy questions because of its origins in Marshall’s consumer surplus approach and the general economic surplus approach to welfare economics. But welfare economists no longer support the surplus approach because decades of research pertaining to the surplus approach have uncovered numerous inconsistencies and serious ethical challenges. However, the surplus approach to welfare survives in industrial organization textbooks and among industrial organization economists that specialize in antitrust. We argue in this paper that the Consumer Welfare Standard is not a reliable standard and should be abandoned. We cite several reasons: (1) it limits antitrust goals a priori without any defensible justification, (2) it considers all transfers of surplus between stakeholders in antitrust cases to be welfare neutral, (3) it is biased in favor of big business and the rich, and (4) the accumulation of inconsistencies and problems documented by welfare economists renders the theory completely unreliable. In a final section of the paper, we preliminarily contend that modern research in welfare economics concerning the factors that influence human welfare could be used to inform a more progressive standard for determining antitrust goals.

Low Birth Weight (LBW) infants are at risk of experiencing various health problems. One of them that often occurs is an unstable body temperature and tends to be hypothermic. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of Kangaroo Method Care (KMC) and incubator treatment to increase body temperature in LBW infants. This study used a Quasi Experiment Design technique with a Pre-test and Post-test Group design. The sample in this study were all LBW infants according to the inclusion criteria, which were 30 babies. The sample was divided into two intervention groups, namely 15 infants with KMC intervention and 15 infants with nursing intervention in an incubator, which were given intervention for 2 hours per day for a period of 3 days. The sampling technique used in this study was purposive sampling. In the KMC group, the average pretest value was 36.59°C and the posttest value was 37.06°C. In comparison, in the treatment group of incubator intervention, the average pretest value was 36.4°C and the posttest value was 36.8°C. Based on the results of the independent sample t-test statistical test, the significance was 0.035, p <0.05. The results showed that the average of increasing infants' body temperature in the intervention of KMC was 0.4640 (SD = 0.08998), while the average increase in infant body temperature in the incubator treatment was 0.3953 (SD = 0.07909). The application of KMC and treatment in the incubator are equally effective in increasing the body temperature of LBW.

Cattle cage is a term that refers to a structure used to house farm animals or animal homes. The structure might be in the form of a container, a building, or something else entirely, depending on the type of animal being farmed. Because most cattle shed doors are slotted or padlocked, there is a high rate of theft from irresponsible individuals seeking to take livestock without permission. The primary objective of this research is to devise a security system capable of keeping cattle pens secure and free of thieves or burglars that cause livestock loss. The author chooses the Atmega 328 microcontroller because it features a Harvard architecture that separates program code and data memory to maximize work and parallelism. Additionally, this circuit may be connected to an Arduino Uno to create a variety of electronic circuits ranging from simple to complicated. LED control, helicopter control, servo drive control, and robot control can all be implemented by adding specific components. Thus, a prototype was created for an automatic door safety system that employs an infrared sensor to detect the presence of animals and automatically opens the entrance, locking it with a password and ringing a buzzer in front of the farmer's house if the password is incorrect. This tool was created to help minimize cattle losses due to theft.

Youths across cultures show an alarming prevalence of non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI). This study explored the effects of perceived peer popularity and relationship closeness on the reactions of youths with no NSSI history to peers engaging in NSSI. Two hundred and eighty young Koreans (mean age = 17.06) were asked about how they would respond to four hypothetical self-injuring characters. The results revealed that the participants evaluated unpopular peers and their NSSI more favorably, but were more willing to personally provide help to peers they were closer with, regardless of popularity. For close friends, the participants were more willing to provide emotional help than behavioral help, and their own unstable psychological conditions were associated with agreeable evaluations about NSSI. This paper provides suggestions for school counselors concerning youths’ social experiences and mental health.

Ergenlik döneminin önemli bir bölümünü oluşturan lise çağı, kendine özgü sorunları ve güçlükleri olan bir evredir. Lise çağındaki gençler ergenlik döneminde aktif bir sorgulama içerisine girerken, çocukluktan bu yana dine dair öğrendiği, algıladığı pek çok şeyi de yeniden yapılandırma sürecine girerek, çevresinden bağımsız bir din anlayışı oluşturmak için çaba sarf eder. Çevreden, aileden ve okuldan öğrendiği dini bilgilere karşı eleştirel bir tavır sergiler. Bu araştırmada lise öğrencilerinin dini inanç ve tutumlarının oluşmasında etkili olan faktörleri ortaya çıkarmak ve din eğitiminin bu süreçte oynadığı olumlu veya olumsuz rolleri incelemek amaçlanmıştır.
Veri toplama aracı olarak anket tekniği kullanılmış ve Dini Tutum Ölçeği ile DKAB Dersi Tutum Ölçeği’nden yararlanılmıştır. Araştırmada öğrencilerin dini inanç, tutum ve davranışlarını etkileyen faktörlerin cinsiyet, ailelerinin dini yaşayış ve eğitim durumları, internet ve sosyal medya aracılığıyla dini konular hakkında sorgulama yapma derecesine göre farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığı ele alınmıştır. Ayrıca öğrencilerin Din Kültürü ve Ahlak Bilgisi dersine yönelik tutumları ile dini tutumları arasındaki ilişki de bu araştırmada ele alınan diğer bir konudur. Verilerin analizinde SPSS İstatistik programı kullanılmıştır. Araştırma problemlerinin test edilebilmesi için; frekans dağılımı, basit korelasyon, ilişkisiz (bağımsız) örneklemler t-testi ve tek yönlü varyans analizi (One-Way ANOVA) kullanılmıştır. Hipotezlerin test edilmesinde anlamlılık düzeyi 0,05 olarak alınmıştır. Yapılan analizler neticesinde öğrencilerin dini tutum düzeyleri; anne-baba eğitim durumu ile dini yaşayış durumu ve internet ve sosyal medya aracılığı ile dini konular hakkında sorgulama yapma durumuna göre anlamlı farklılık göstermiştir. Sınıf düzeyi durumuna göre ise anlamlı bir farklılaşma tespit edilememiştir. Ayrıca öğrencilerinin DKAB dersine yönelik tutumları ile dini tutum düzeyleri arasında anlamlı bir farklılaşma tespit edilmiştir. Buna göre DKAB dersine karşı (olumlu) tutum arttıkça, dini tutum düzeyi de artmaktadır.
