Published: September 2024

This research investigated the possibility of enhancing senior secondary school students’ academic performance irrespective of gender in analytical chemistry concept using Collaborative-Predict-Explain-Observe-Explain (CPEOE). The study adopted a quasi-experimental research design. Analytical Chemistry Attention Inventory (ACAI) and Analytical Chemistry Performance Test (ACPT) were the instruments used for data collection. Cronbach Alpha was used to ascertain the reliability index of ACAI which gave reliability value of 0.87. The internal consistency of ACPT was tested using Kuder-Richardson (KR-21) formula which yielded a reliability value of 0.96. The population was 7,152 SS2 students offering chemistry in Makurdi, Benue State, Nigeria. A sample of 157 students drawn from 3 schools in Makurdi Local Government Area of Benue State, Nigeria was selected using multi-stage sampling techniques. Four research questions and four null hypotheses guided the study. The research questions were answered using Mean and Standard Deviation scores while the null hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance using results from Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). The study revealed among others, that there was no significant difference between the mean attention rating of male and female students taught analytical chemistry {F1, 78 = 1.020, P>0.05}. It was also revealed that that there is no significant difference between the mean academic performance of male and female students taught analytical chemistry using CPEOE {F1, 78 = 4.890, P>0.05}. It was recommended among others that since CPEOE is not gender sensitive. Hence, both male and female students should be involved in CPEOE classroom to enhance their attention and academic performance in analytical chemistry. Serving teachers should be encouraged to use CPEOE in teaching analytical chemistry concepts.
How to Enhance Female Self-Perception and Social Role Awareness in Adolescent Education Through The Second Sex
Authors: Petrovic Hrvatin P.
Published: September 2024

This paper explores how Simone de Beauvoir’s The Second Sex can be utilized in adolescent education to enhance female self-perception and social role awareness. The Second Sex critically examines the socio-cultural construction of femininity, arguing that gender roles are not innate but socially imposed. By integrating Beauvoir’s insights into the educational curriculum, young women are encouraged to critically analyze the external narratives shaping their identities and societal roles. The paper discusses key themes from The Second Sex, such as the myth of the “Eternal Feminine,” the socialization of girls, and the critique of traditional gender expectations. It highlights classroom strategies, including reflective writing, media analysis, debates, and collaborative learning, which empower students to challenge conformity, build critical thinking skills, and redefine their roles in society. Through this approach, educators can foster a supportive environment that inspires young women to actively shape their identities and resist restrictive societal norms, ultimately contributing to a more equitable and self-aware generation.

A Comparative Analysis of Remedies and Challenges in the Protection of Stakeholders Rights: OHADA vs. English Corporate Law
Authors: NyitiosehV Nchofua Anita
Published: September 2024

This article provides a comparative analysis of the remedies and challenges in the protection of stakeholder rights under OHADA (Organization for the Harmonization of Business Law in Africa) and English corporate law. The study focuses on key legal remedies available to stakeholders, including the derivative action model, the unfair prejudice remedy, personal right of action, remedies for breach of contract and torts, representative actions amongst other remedies. Under OHADA, the uniform legal framework aims to harmonize business laws across member states, promoting legal certainty and economic growth. In this context, the derivative action model allows minority shareholders to seek redress for wrongs committed against the company, while the unfair prejudice remedy protects stakeholders from actions that harm their interests. Personal right of action and remedies for breach of contract and torts provide additional avenues for stakeholders to seek justice. Representative actions further enable collective redress for affected parties. In contrast, English corporate law, rooted in a common law tradition, offers flexibility and judicial interpretation in protecting stakeholder rights. The derivative action model in English law allows shareholders to bring claims on behalf of the company, while the unfair prejudice remedy addresses situations where minority shareholders are treated unfairly. Personal right of action and remedies for breach of contract and torts are well-established, providing robust protection for stakeholders. Representative actions in English law facilitate collective litigation, enhancing access to justice. In tandem with the foregoing, this paper explores challenges in the practical enforcement of these remedies, including differences in legal culture, enforcement mechanisms, and jurisdictional issues. By comparing OHADA and English corporate law, the study provides insights into the effectiveness of various legal frameworks in protecting stakeholder rights and offers recommendations for enhancing stakeholder protection through legal reforms and policy initiatives. Through a content analysis of primary and secondary data, we uphold that this article contributes to the discourse on corporate governance and stakeholder theory, offering valuable perspectives for policymakers, legal practitioners, and scholars interested in the protection of stakeholder rights in diverse legal environments.

The findings highlight the need for a more holistic approach that includes enhanced education and awareness, better training and resources for legal aid providers, and stronger collaboration among stakeholders. By addressing these barriers, the study suggests pathways to improve access to justice for domestic violence victims in rural Uttar Pradesh, ultimately contributing to the broader goal of gender equality and social justice.
A Social Constraints and Personal Freedom in The Myth of Sisyphus: Examining the Impact of External Forces on Existential Autonomy
Authors: Stępień Emilia K. M.
Published: September 2024

This paper explores the intricate relationship between social constraints and personal freedom in Albert Camus’s The Myth of Sisyphus, focusing on the impact of external forces on existential autonomy. Camus’s philosophy, centered on the concept of the “absurd,” challenges traditional notions of freedom by highlighting the tension between human beings’ inherent desire for meaning and the indifferent, chaotic universe. The essay examines how social constraints—such as cultural norms, laws, economic conditions, and political ideologies—further complicate this quest for autonomy by imposing additional layers of limitation on individuals. Rather than viewing freedom as the absence of constraints, Camus redefines it as the capacity to confront these external forces with awareness and defiance, choosing one’s own path even within a constrained environment. Through a deeper analysis of Sisyphus as a symbol of human struggle against both cosmic and social limitations, this paper argues that true freedom is found not in escaping these constraints but in navigating and resisting them, asserting one’s values and identity in the face of both the absurd and societal expectations. The conclusion emphasizes the dynamic interplay between freedom and constraint, presenting a vision of autonomy as a continuous, courageous engagement with the world.
The Aesthetic and Narrative Strategies of Subcultures on TikTok: Analyzing the Presentation of Niche Identities
Authors: Suriyapong Apichai T.
Published: September 2024

This paper explores the aesthetic and narrative strategies employed by subcultures on TikTok to present and cultivate niche identities in a digital age characterized by rapid content consumption and algorithm-driven engagement. TikTok’s unique format—short, looping videos coupled with a powerful recommendation algorithm—has facilitated the rise and proliferation of diverse subcultural communities, such as cottagecore, dark academia, and witchtok. These groups leverage distinct visual styles, soundscapes, and narrative techniques to construct cohesive subcultural identities that resonate with both creators and viewers. Aesthetics serve as visual markers that communicate values and philosophies, while soundscapes and music act as auditory signifiers that further define the emotional and cultural landscapes of these communities. The platform’s algorithmic curation significantly influences the visibility, evolution, and dynamics of subcultural communities by promoting content that aligns with user engagement patterns.

Authors: Redwood J. Q. , Almeida M. D.
Published: September 2024

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) significantly impairs exercise tolerance and quality of life due to respiratory and systemic effects. Exercise training, including endurance and strength modalities, is a cornerstone of pulmonary rehabilitation, yet the combined effects of these training methods remain underexplored. This study aimed to evaluate the combined effects of endurance and strength training on exercise tolerance and quality of life in COPD patients. A randomized controlled trial was conducted involving 100 COPD patients assigned to four groups: Endurance Training, Strength Training, Combined Training, and Control. The interventions were implemented over 12 weeks, with outcomes assessed pre- and post-intervention, including the six-minute walk test (6MWT) for exercise tolerance and the St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) for quality of life. Statistical analyses included ANOVA and post-hoc comparisons to determine group differences. The Combined Training group demonstrated the most significant improvement in exercise tolerance, with a mean increase of 72.4 meters in 6MWT distance, compared to 48.7 meters in the Endurance group and 34.2 meters in the Strength group. Quality of life, measured by SGRQ, improved significantly across all intervention groups, with the greatest reduction in total SGRQ scores observed in the Combined Training group (12.6 points), indicating enhanced physical and psychological well-being. Additional improvements in muscle strength and endurance capacity were also most pronounced in the Combined Training group. Combined endurance and strength training provide superior benefits in enhancing exercise tolerance, muscle strength, and quality of life in COPD patients compared to either modality alone. These findings support the integration of multimodal exercise regimens in pulmonary rehabilitation programs to optimize outcomes for COPD patients.

Effects of Phosphorus Fertilizer, Poultry Manure Applications with Bacillus megaterium M-3 Inoculation on Yield and Yield Components of Common Vetch (Vicia sativa)
Authors: Kaynar Dilara , Çomaklı Binali
Published: September 2024

Phosphorus is considered one of the essential elements for legumes as it increases nitrogen fixation due to nodulation. Hence, for high productivity in legumes, it should be added as inorganic or organic fertilizer to soils containing insufficient phosphorus. Especially in recent years, using inorganic and organic fertilizers together has gained importance in terms of sustainable agriculture, considering plant growth and soil and environmental health together. The effects of three different doses of phosphorus fertilizer (0, 50, 100 kg P2O5 ha-1), and two different doses of poultry manure (0, 3 t ha-1) applications with two different doses (B0 or B1) of phosphorus solubilizing bacteria (Bacillus megaterium M-3) inoculation on hay yield and yield components of common vetch were examined in this study. In fact, while the highest hay yield and crude protein rate were obtained by bacterial inoculation together with phosphorus fertilizer application, the effect of poultry manure application on yield and yield parameters was variable. Instead, the applications had no significant effect on the number of main branches, ADF and NDF rates. Consequently, the application of 100 kg P2O5 ha-1 together with Bacillus megaterium inoculation can be recommended for high hay yield in common vetch under irrigated conditions in areas with poor or medium soils in terms of phosphorus.

Authors: D. Mathreja Diksha , J. Mansuri Dr. Arefa
Published: September 2024

Consuming nutritious food is of utmost importance for one’s health and well-being. But when an individual becomes obsessed with eating only healthy food and focusing more on the nutritional content of the food, this obsession is termed as Orthorexia Nervosa. This obsession is characterized by restricting oneself from eating unhealthy foods and making the required dietary changes. The available literature reveals that this is still an unexplored avenue, especially in the Indian context. Thus, the present research focuses on determining the prevalence of orthorexia nervosa among young adults along with its relation with body shape perception. Body shape perception is measured in the terms of how satisfied or dissatisfied people are with their body shape and appearance. The aim of the present research is to determine the prevalence of orthorexia nervosa and body shape concerns among young adults. Secondly, it also focuses on studying the relationship between orthorexia nervosa and body shape. A sample size of 200 participants comprising of 100 males and 100 females were undertaken for the research. The sample constituted of Undergraduate college students only. A convenience sampling technique was used to collect the data from the sample. Responses on two self-report measures, namely: ORTO-15 and BSQ-16(a) were taken from the sample. The Analysis and Interpretation of the data was done through Descriptive Statistics and Pearson’s Correlation. The results indicate that out of 200 participants, 115 participants (57.5%) exhibit orthorexic tendencies, and 103 participants (51.5%) have marked concerns with their body shape. Orthorexia and body dissatisfaction are observed more in females. A Negative Significant Correlation (r= -0.329, p<0.01) is drawn between Orthorexia and Body Shape for the cohort. The current research tries to fill the gap around the sparse knowledge regarding Orthorexia Nervosa and Body Shape concerns especially in the Indian context and encourages further study.

Published: September 2024

Mezar taşları, geçmişin tarihsel anlamını kavrama ve önceki nesillerle kurulan bağları anlama çabalarında en önemli araçlardan birisi olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Silifke ve civarı, yaklaşık 1400 yıldır İslam kültürü etkisi altında bulunan bir yerleşim bölgesidir. Bu çalışma, ilçenin en eski yerleşim alanlarından birisi olan Taşucu mahallesinin mezarlığında bulunan Osmanlı dönemine ait mezar taşı örneklerini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Daha önce hiçbir çalışmaya konu olmamış bu örnekler çalışma kapsamında ilk kez değerlendirilecektir. Bu amaçla mezarlık alanında bulunan mezar taşlarının tamamı taranmış ve çalışma kapsamına giren örnekler yerinde incelenmiş, ölçüleri alınarak detaylı fotoğrafları çekilmiş ve çizimleri yapılmıştır. Ayrıca kitabe çözümlemeleri yapılarak çalışma içinde hem orijinal metni ve hem de Türkçe okunuşu verilmiştir. Tespit edilen yaklaşık 30 mezar taşından özellik arz eden 18 örnek çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Son bölümde ise detaylı bir değerlendirme yapılarak incelenen örneklerin Türk sanatındaki yeri belirlenmeye çalışılmış ve Anadolu’daki farklı bölgelerde bulunan mezar taşı örnekleriyle karşılaştırmaları yapılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda mezarlık alanında bulunan Osmanlı dönemi mezar taşı örneklerinde genel tipolojiye dahil 2 farklı mezar tipinin kullanıldığı görülmüş, bunlar içinde yaygın kullanılan biçimlerle beraber yöresel özellikleriyle ön plana çıkan, sadece bu alana özgün mezar taşı tiplerinin de bulunduğu tespit edilmiştir.
İNGİLİZ İSTİHBARAT RAPORLARINA GÖRE İSTATİSTİKLERLE I. DÜNYA HARBİ (1914-1918)

Birinci Dünya Harbi (1914-1918), 20. yüzyıl boyunca uluslararası güç dengelerini yeniden şekillendiren ve İkinci Dünya Savaşı (1939-1945) ile Soğuk Savaş'ın (1947-1991) ilk tohumlarını eken son derece önemli bir olaydır. Bu harp sonucunda milyonlarca asker hayatını kaybetmiş, dünyadaki erkek nüfusu azalmış, köklü monarşiler dağılmış ve jeopolitik dengeler alt üst olmuştur. Bu askeri olay dünya siyasetini, ekonomisini, demografisini ve silah teknolojisini kökten değiştirmiştir. Birinci Dünya Savaşı üzerine çok sayıda tez, makale ve kitap yazılmış olmasına rağmen, bu çalışmaların çoğu savaşı istatistiksel boyutlardan ziyade siyasi, askeri, ekonomik ve tarihsel bağlamlarda analiz etmiştir. Bu makale, İngiliz Genelkurmay Başkanlığı, Savaş Bakanlığı, Askeri İstihbarat Müdürlüğü ve özellikle Savaş Komitesi, Çanakkale Komitesi, İmparatorluk Müdafaa Komitesi, Düşman Personel Komitesi ve Kabine İnsan Gücü Komitesi tarafından hazırlanan raporları merkeze alarak I. Dünya Savaşı'nı istatistiksel bir perspektiften ele alma denemesidir. Bununla birlikte, Osmanlı İmparatorluğu ile ilgili bölümler yerli ve yabancı literatürdeki güncel bilgilerle karşılaştırmalı olarak değerlendirilmiştir. İngiliz raporlarında ortaya konan temel parametrelerin eleştirel bir analizinin yapıldığı makalede, Kasım 1914-Ekim 1918 tarihleri arasında Osmanlı ordusunun toplam nüfusu, seferber edilebilir insan gücü, askeri kuvvet mevcudu ve - Çanakkale cephesi başta olmak üzere- Kasım 1914-Ekim 1918 arasında verdiği toplam zayiat miktarlarına ilişkin muhtelif yeni tahmin denemelerine de yer verilmektedir.
GÖRDÜS KAZASINDA TARIM (1531-1575)

XVI. Yüzyıldaki ekonomik yapısı daha önce kapsamlı olarak incelenmeyen Gördüs Kazasındaki zirai üretim faaliyetleri çalışmamıza konu olmuştur. Çalışmanın ana kaynaklarını Tahrir Defterleri oluşturmaktadır. Bölgede yetiştirilen tarım ürünlerini hububat, bakliyat, sanayi bitkileri ve meyve-sebze şeklinde dört ana bölüme ayırabiliriz. XVI. Yüzyılda Osmanlı Devleti’nin birçok bölgesinde olduğu gibi Gördüs Kazasında da hububat üretimi miktar bakımından ilk sıradadır. Özellikle buğday ve arpa Osmanlı Toplumunun ihtiyacına da paralel olarak çok geniş bir alanda üretilmiştir. Hububat öşür gelirleri de diğer öşür gelirlerinin çok üstündedir. Nitekim Kazanın öşür gelirleri içinde hububat öşürlerinin payı %70’e yakın bir orana sahiptir. Gördüs Kazasında bu dönemde timar sisteminin uygulandığı ve tarımsal üretimden elde edilen gelirlerin bu sistem içinde de büyük bir paya sahip olduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Mesela tarım ürünlerinden elde edilen öşür gelirleri, Kazanın toplam gelirleri içinde, yüzyılın ilk yarısında %45, ikinci yarısında ise %65 civarında paya sahiptir. Bakliyat içinde nohut, sanayi bitkileri içinde pamuk ile boyalık bitkiler, meyve-sebze grubunda da üzüm ile bostan üretim miktarları ve öşür gelirleri bakımından açık ara önde olmuşlardır. Yüzyılın ikinci yarısında bölgede bir enflasyon hareketinin olduğu ve tarımsal ürünlerin birim fiyatlarının da bundan etkilendiği ve fiyatlarında %20 ile %33 civarında artışlar meydana geldiği belirlenmektedir. Bunun da bölge insanını ekonomik yönden olumsuz etkilediği muhakkaktır.
