Mesnevî-i Şerîf’teki Şâirin Kıssası’nın Patronaj Açısından Okunması
Authors: Kılıçkaya Derya
Published: December 2023

Bu yazıda, Mevlânâ Muhammed Celâleddîn Rûmî’nin (ö. 672/1273) yaklaşık yirmi beş bin yedi yüz beyitten oluşan Mesnevî-i Şerîf’inin dördüncü cildinde yer alan bir kıssa (Bu kıssa konusu itibarıyla Şâirin Kıssası olarak adlandırılacaktır), patronaj açısından ele alınacaktır. Kıssanın patronaj bakımından okunup değerlendirilmesi sırasında ise Mesnevî-i Şerîf’in tamamını şerh eden Ahmed Avni Konuk’un (1868-1938) eserinden istifâde edilecektir. Şâirin Kıssası’nda karşımıza çıkan şâir, dünyaya dair ümidini yüksek tutan bir kimsedir. Ümit, yüksek tutulduğu için de üzüntü ve keder beraberinde gelir. Hâlbuki Allah, karşılıksız ihsan edendir. Ümitleri, dünya metâı ile sınırlandırmak ise Allah’ın rızasına uygun değildir. Patrimonyal hükümdarın ve saray yaşamının arzularına uymak, hep bir beklenti içinde olmak, şâire zarar verebilir. Şâirlerin bazılarının dünyevi bir arzuya ulaşmak, daha iyi makamlar elde etmek gibi sâiklerle yanıp tutuştuğu ve bu uğurda gayret sarf ettiği edebiyat tarihinin bilinen hakikatlerindendir. Ancak arzulananlar gerçekleşmediğinde beraberinde üzüntü gelir. Bu yazıda, Hazret-i Mevlânâ’nın Şâirin Kıssası olarak adlandırılan hikâyesinin hem patronaj açısından hem de tasavvufî açıdan ne söylediğine yoğunlaşılacaktır. Bu odaklanma sırasında geliştirilen önerme ise şu şekildedir: “Arzularımız ile gerçekleşecekler arasında her zaman çelişki olur. Bu çelişki, bizim hanemize üzüntü olarak geri döner. Arzularını gemleyemeyen şâir, patronunu suçlamaya ve mutsuz olmaya mahkûmdur.” Kıssa okunduğunda, Hakk’ın değil de insanın ihsanına takılıp kalan ve onu gözeten şâirin, eninde sonunda üzüldüğü görülecektir.
STATE AND REGIONAL INVESTMENT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPETITIVENESS OF THE HOSPITAL
Authors:   National Academy of Management, Shtuler Iryna
Published: December 2023

The article is devoted to the study of state and regional investment in the development of the competitiveness of the hospitality industry, taking into account the infrastructural aspect. The development of a competitive environment and the availability of infrastructural capabilities is a priority task for the successful development of any industry or sector. That is why the primary problem that needs to be solved is the determination of state and regional investment in the development of a competitive hospitality industry. It has been established that when assessing national competitiveness, many economists associate this concept with the achievement of the main macroeconomic goals, where the equivalents of public investment are: national welfare; high standard of living of citizens compared to other states; raising the standard of living of the population; fair distribution of national wealth; availability of jobs, etc. It has been proven that in the long run the parameters of competitiveness are related to the concept of economic success. Each industry, including the hospitality industry, has its own rules of competition and its own hierarchy of factors that most or least contribute to establishing a competitive position, including in regional distribution. On the other hand, the hospitality industry has certain advantages due to key competencies that it possesses in this particular region that its competitors do not (eg: consumers, brand, license, cost structure, etc.). The article defines the specifics and features of the competitiveness of the hospitality industry, as well as aspects of its infrastructural support. In the process of research, we established that the infrastructure aspects of state and regional investment in the development of the competitiveness of the hospitality industry are based on two subconcepts: comparative competitive advantage and the theory of competitive advantages. The external and internal factors of state and regional investment in the development of the competitiveness of the hospitality industry are analyzed. Based on the analysis of external and internal factors of state and regional investment in the development of the competitiveness of the hospitality industry, their grouping was carried out by categories: innovations, services, human resources and costs. Keywords: competitiveness, development, hospitality industry, state regulation, regional support, investments.
ГОЛШТИНСЬКА ПОРОДА – ГЕНЕЗИС, БІОЛОГІЧНІ ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ТА ЕФЕКТИВНІСТЬ ЇЇ ВИКОРИСТАННЯ ДЛЯ СТВОРЕННЯ І ВДОСКОНАЛЕННЯ СПЕЦІАЛІЗОВАНИХ МОЛОЧНИХ ПОРІД

Представлено короткий генезис голштинської породи, її біологічні особливості в аспекті молочної продуктивності й екстер’єрного типу, поширення та світові рекорди корів за ознаками молочної продуктивності. Аналогічно наведено історію створення сумського внутрішньопородного типу української чорно-рябої молочної породи, яка здійснювалася традиційно за методом відтворного схрещування локальної лебединської худоби із плідниками як голштинської, так і української чорно-рябої молочної породи. Результати досліджень засвідчили, що тварини сумського внутрішньопородного типу української чорно-рябої молочної породи на сучасному етапі селекції відрізняються достатньо високим генетичним потенціалом молочної продуктивності. За екстер’єром вони розвиваються у напрямі молочного типу, проте істотна мінливість описових ознак і низькі коефіцієнти їхньої успадковуваності свідчать про відсутність належного добору та підбору тварин за типом. Повідомляється, що за оцінкою корів різних помісних генотипів ступінь фенотипової мінливості лінійних ознак звужується за збільшення спадковості голштинської породи. Так, найвищим рівнем фенотипової консолідованості за груповими та більшістю описових ознак екстер’єру характеризуються корови-первістки із часткою голштинської умовної кровності 87,5% і вище. Оскільки українська чорно-ряба молочна порода Сумського регіону зазнає наразі поглинального впливу голштинської породи, виникла вмотивована потреба в ретельному вивченні екстер’єру тварин на сучасному етапі їхньої селекції в порівняльному міжпородному аналізі. Порівняльний аналіз корів-первісток української чорно-рябої молочної та голштинської порід, оцінених за методикою лінійної класифікації, засвідчив вищі показники в голштинських тварин як за груповими, так і за описовими ознаками. Розподіл корів-первісток піддослідних порід за фінальною оцінкою міжнародної класифікаційної шкали на класи засвідчив про достовірний співвідносний зв’язок рівня оцінки з їхньою молочною продуктивністю. Очевидна перевага корів голштинської породи над ровесницями української чорно-рябої молочної худоби за оцінками лінійної класифікації вказує на позитивний селекційний ефект, який супроводжуватиме подальше використання голштинських плідників у процесі поглинального схрещування.

Published: December 2023

The aim of the article is to assess the interdependencies between economic growth and indicators of competitiveness and innovation, substantiate the system of measures to stimulate the innovative development of the country. In the course of the study, a sample of Central European and Baltic countries was studied, including Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary, Ukraine, Croatia, and the Czech Republic. As a parameter of competitiveness of enterprises in international markets, the median share of the medium-tech and high-tech products in the overall structure of gross value added of material production is chosen. The relationship of this indicator with the real growth of real GDP per capita during the period 1996–2020 is studied. In addition to the rates of economic growth, net investments in public non-financial assets (according to the methodology of the World Bank), the share of medium-tech and high-tech products in GDP, medium-tech and high-tech exports in its overall structure are considered, as well as environmental and innovative competitive parameters of national economies: carbon dioxide (СО2) emissions and renewable energy consumption (as a share in the final consumption of the latter). The Global Competitiveness Index for the mentioned sample of countries is also studied. A system of measures to stimulate innovative development has been proposed. It is found that it is important to continue the policy of deregulation and digitalization of administrative public procedures; promoting the registration and activities of innovatively active enterprises, providing them with incentives; formation of a stable, understandable and transparent tax environment in the country; improving the efficiency of public administration; ensuring the protection of investors’ property rights. In addition, it is important to develop a culture of entrepreneurship based on the Sustainable Development Goals and the latest principles of socially responsible business.
3D PRINTING IN PROSTHETICS, ORTHOTICS AND ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY: MYTH AND REALITY
Authors: Ursula Raschke Silvia
Published: December 2023

3D printing initially captured the public eye when mainstream media began writing about Enabling the Future, a volunteer network that had begun designing and 3D printing prosthetic hands.  Many of the stories focused on how this technology was going to disrupt the prosthetic sector. The response from prosthetists was skepticism and concern, in particular warning that 3D printed components would not be robust enough to withstand the activities of daily living.  Moreover, they emphasized that fit problems could potentially cause more harm than good. Several years on, this issue explores currant usage and experiences with the technology in prosthetics and, to a limited extent, orthotics.

ФОРСАЙТ ЯК ІНСТРУМЕНТ ПОКРАЩЕННЯ ЕФЕКТИВНОСТІ ПУБЛІЧНОГО УПРАВЛІННЯ
Authors: Лях Юлія
Published: December 2023

В умовах зростаючої невизначеності організації діяльності в публічному управлінні все більшої підтримки потребують системи ухвалення стратегічних рішень, заснованих на інструментах досліджень майбутнього і форсайту. До найпоширеніших методів належать метод Дельфі, прогнозування, розроблення дорожніх карт та сценаріїв, які використовуються для формування науково-технологічної та інноваційної політики. Кожен із цих методів забезпечує структурований збір інформації та дає змогу створювати науково обґрунтовані знання про майбутнє. Форсайт-дослідження традиційно мають практичну спрямованість, водночас їх теоретичній та методологічній базі приділяється відносно мало уваги. Різноманітність методів та слабка систематизація процедур ускладнюють вибір відповідного інструменту для вирішення конкретного завдання. Крім того, форсайт-спільнота визнає значущість теоретичних основ для розуміння сутності методів дослідження майбутнього, стимулювання до них, застосування та навчання необхідним навичкам. Обґрунтовано важливість форсайту у публічному управлінні, зокрема під час розроблення регіональних або місцевих стратегій розвитку, проєктів і програм. Мета статті полягає в обґрунтуванні методології форсайту щодо розроблення сценаріїв майбутнього в середньо- і довгостроковій перспективі як основи формування державної стратегії розвитку країни, регіону, сфери діяльності, а також обґрунтуванні доцільності впровадження форсайту в публічне управління як ефективного інструменту передбачення, що забезпечує розвиток демократичних взаємовідносин між суб’єктами і об’єктами публічного управління. Досліджено сутність форсайту. Розглянуто теоретико-методологічні засади реалізації форсайту як інструмента публічного управління. Наголошено на тому, що форсайт забезпечує ефективний розвиток публічного управління через суспільну взаємодію суб’єктів влади із суспільством щодо розроблення стратегій та вибору стратегічних альтернатив розвитку в соціально-економічній сфері; націлений на підвищення якості ухвалених зараз рішень і координацію спільних дій. Зазначено, що така співпраця зумовлює розвиток самоорганізації суспільства, що дає змогу громадянам, їх об’єднанням якомога ширше реалізовувати свої інтереси та ініціативи, підтримувати рівноправний діалог із владою. Вказано на необхідність вдосконалення методології форсайту, розроблення та впровадження процедур автоматизації як окремих етапів, так і форсайту загалом.

An Evaluation of The Quality of Breast Cancer Chemotherapy Service in Dr. Kariadi General Hospital
Authors: Prajoko Yan Wisnu
Published: December 2023

Background:  Dr. Kariadi General Hospital is the main provincial referral hospital in Central Java, serving a population of over 33 million. The oncology center of the hospital serves as the forefront service, which requires evaluation to ensure quality assessment and improvements. Therefore, this study aimed to provide valuable insights into chemotherapy nursing quality and level of patient satisfaction. Methods: This descriptive study assessed the quality of chemotherapy services given to breast cancer patients. The level of patient satisfaction was measured using the Worthing Chemotherapy Satisfaction Questionnaire (WCSQ). The questionnaire was used to evaluate patient satisfaction in six distinct components, which included patient education, the technical aspect of care, the interpersonal of the health worker, multidisciplinary teamwork, treatment environment, and hospital accessibility. The data obtained were collected by handing out questionnaires to eligible participants in the oncologic center. Results: The level of patient satisfaction was significantly affected by information received from medical personnel regardless of the sociodemographic characteristics. Other factors such as waiting time, treatment privacy, nursing skills, and efficiency of chemotherapy delivery also significantly improved patient satisfaction. Conclusions: The results showed that oncologists played a significant role in patient education. Furthermore, chemotherapy nurses were expected to deliver care and education, which positively correlated with patient satisfaction. Although the general level of satisfaction was acceptable, some areas still required further improvements to enhance the quality of service, specifically patient education.
Relationship between Central and Local Government: Experiences from Turkey and Bangladesh
Authors: GÜVEN Ahmet , RAHMAN Hafijur , ZIHAN Nafisa Islam
Published: December 2023

Local government is an essential element of the states. The principles of administrative integrity and autonomy constitute the essence of the relationship between the central and local governments. Based on these two principles, the central government tries to determine the policy of the country's administration by obtaining power based on tutelage over local governments, while local governments demand autonomy within their areas of duty, with their resources, responsibilities, and powers. This situation follows a similar course in many countries of the world. This study aims to analyze the relations between Turkey and Bangladesh's central government and local governments, their administrative structures, duties, and functions. Turkey and Bangladesh, both Muslim-majority countries, share similar socio-cultural characteristics. Bilateral relations between these two countries have developed in recent years, especially in trade, defense, migration, and other sectors. Following the development of these bilateral relations, this paper is significant here to understand two countries’ local and central government relations.

Community-led Transformative Research Tools and Applications: From Canada to Nepal
Authors: Lorenzetti Liza , Dhungel Rita
Published: December 2023

The deepening neoliberal agenda in our global context shines a light on historical and enduring inequities of colonial and class patriarchy. While praxis is a central feature of PAR, further attention to community-led actions is urgently needed to demonstrate the connection between method, application and social transformation. Focusing on two contexts, Canada and Nepal, we highlight examples of transformative community-led research tools through the lens of social work activism. By authenticating our theories of knowledge, we enter a critical discussion on the use of media conferences and street actions as designed and differentially employed in each study. We conclude with the limitations and transformative potential of PAR.
Neoliberal Colonial Capital and Participatory Action Research (PAR) in Terrains of Land/Forest-Based Resistance
Authors: Kapoor Dip
Published: December 2023

British colonization initiated colonial capitalist dispossession of Adivasi-Dalit-Nontribal Forest Dwellers (ADNTFD) in India. Post-independence development continued this trend, accentuated by the neoliberal turn in the early 1990s orchestrated by the then Congress government and intensified by saffron (Hindu nationalist) authoritarian neoliberalism under the recently re-elected Bharatiya Janata Party in 2014 and 2019, leading the National Democratic Alliance regime. Neocolonial continuities and current neoliberal colonial capitalist dispossession and resistance in the forest belt, or India’s contemporary ‘land wars’, are dialectically linked to potential spaces for Participatory Action Research (PAR) with/in ADNTFD struggles. This paper explores the imbrications of the neoliberal agenda, land wars and PAR in India, and by extension, for similar contexts addressing the vicissitudes of neoliberal authoritarian capitalism in the neo-colonies.

This paper unfolds the artful and pedagogical potentials of engaging in a simultaneous practice of walking and artmaking in different locations, along bodies of water, and together-apart. Through introducing the term co-living inquiry as a thread between action research and a/r/tography, we suggest how the notion of walking with as both action and metaphor has provided conditions for us to explore ways of (re)making relations among our walking bodies, the places we walk in, and our works of art as a collective effort to create a learning community of artists and art educators together apart.
Spreadable Action: Mapping Connections between the Arts and Action Research through an Arts-Based Research Exhibition
Authors: Baker Sarita , Lin Ching-Chiu
Published: December 2023

Many Canadian immigrant seniors living independently in Canada face unique challenges such as language barriers, adjusting to a new culture, and isolation from friends and family.  Within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic these issues have become more complicated. This article explores a form of arts-based research (ABR) as an inquiry into ways that COVID-19 has impacted immigrant seniors in Vancouver, Canada. We situate our inquiry within action research (AR) and explore new methodological possibilities stimulated by merging artistic engagement within the inquiry. Our research is mobilized through two gallery exhibitions of Letters to COVID: an invitation to visually reflect on seniors’ experiences. We consider what we might do to facilitate support for these citizens, inviting the public to rethink perceptions and strategies of social inclusion and support for immigrant seniors living independently in Canada.

Curiosity-Driven, Inquiry-Based Science Projects Bridge Face-to-Face and Online Learning Formats During COVID-19: A Teacher's Community of Inquiry
Authors: Rees Carol , Allen Hannah , Whitehouse Morgan , Cheeptham Naowarat (Ann) , Harrison Michelle , DeVries Elizabeth , Sjokvist Grady , Miller Christine
Published: December 2023

This paper is a report on a year-long action research project with a Community of Inquiry where a group of teachers from across primary, secondary, and tertiary contexts were developing and implementing student-centered, curiosity-driven, inquiry-based science projects to bridge face-to-face and online learning contexts and support their students’ engagement in learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. We followed the teachers through two research cycles to investigate their driving question: “How can we best support our students’ learning in blended learning environments through Curiosity-Driven, Inquiry-Based Science Education?” We report on their ideas, successes, and challenges as they created and implemented eighteen projects. In the first cycle of inquiry in fall 2020, the teachers met online to discuss plans, they implemented their plans with their classes, and they met online to reflect on their projects and share resources. In the second cycle of inquiry in spring 2021, the teachers met online again for further planning, implementation, and reflection. We recorded all online meetings, collected resources that teachers shared, and conducted thematic analysis. Findings indicated the primary focus for the teachers were: which education technology methods to use; the importance of supporting their students’ voices to discuss their work at all stages of their projects; coming up with appropriate means of assessment of their students’ projects; supporting their students in their developing research and problem-solving skills; and supporting their students to reflect on their learning. This study is significant because it demonstrates the creativity and innovation of a group of teachers in their efforts to support their students’ engagement and learning through Curiosity-Driven, Inquiry-Based Science Education during the Covid-19 pandemic. The teachers’ projects have been shared on an Open Education Resource.
Assessment of Postural Control and Proprioception Using the Delos Postural Proprioceptive System
Authors: Tedeschi Roberto
Published: December 2023

Background. Proper postural control and proprioception are essential for maintaining balance, preventing falls, and performing daily activities. Traditional methods of assessing postural control and proprioceptive function often lack objectivity and precision. The DPPS offers a promising solution by providing a quantitative and comprehensive evaluation of postural stability and proprioceptive performance.

Methods. The DPPS utilises advanced sensor technology and computerised analysis to measure various parameters related to postural control, including stability indexes, weight distribution, sway patterns, and proprioceptive responses. It incorporates both static and dynamic tests, allowing for a comprehensive assessment of postural control in different conditions.

Results. Numerous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of the DPPS in evaluating postural control and proprioception in various populations, such as athletes, older adults, individuals with balance disorders, and patients undergoing rehabilitation. The DPPS has shown good reliability and validity, with its measurements correlating well with other established assessment tools. It has also proven to be sensitive in detecting changes in postural control and proprioceptive function over time.

Conclusions. The DPPS represents a valuable tool for objective assessment and monitoring of postural control and proprioceptive function. Its ability to provide quantitative data in a reliable and sensitive manner makes it an attractive option for researchers, clinicians, and rehabilitation professionals. By enhancing our understanding of postural control and proprioception, the DPPS can contribute to the development of targeted interventions and personalised treatment strategies aimed at improving balance, preventing falls, and optimising functional performance.

The review presents modern views and the history of the development of microscopic studies of nanosystems which heve been started 2014, after the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to Eric Betzig, William Mörner, and Stefan Gell "for the development of super-resolved fluorescence microscopy". Their work ushered in a new era of optical microscopy, enabling the precise examination of individual molecules and molecular clusters by using optical microscopes. By circumventing the diffraction limitations that had constrained traditional optical microscopes, scientists gained access to the nanoscale realm, investigating structures within the 1–100 nanometer range. Special attention is paid to the use of carbon quantum dots and plasmon resonance to enhance fluorescence when obtaining the effect of super-resolution images, which allow the use of optical microscopes in the estimation of the sizes of cluster and single molecules. This breakthrough in removing the diffraction li­mitation allowed scientists to use the working range of 1–100 nm and obtain 3D images of nanosystems and images of living cells. Particular attention is paid to the achievements and prospects of high-resolution fluorescent nanoscopy SRM, which is successfully deve­lo­ping and studying the nanoworld in the range of 1–100 nm at the level of scanning electron microscopy. In cell biology, nanomedicine, etc. are developing roadmaps for scientific breakthroughs in super-resolution visualization me­thods for "live" images. Prospects of Immuno-­SERS microscopy and medicine of indivi­dual diagnosis are considered

Key Findings:

Testing the Effects of Ability-Based and Opinion-Based Social Comparisons on Interpersonal Problems through the Mediating Roles of Self-Esteem and Difficulties in Emotion Regulation
Authors: ASLAN Selçuk , DEMİR Ayhan
Published: December 2023

This study investigates the effects of ability-based and opinion-based social comparisons on interpersonal problems and concurrently explores the mediating roles of self-esteem and emotion dysregulation within these relational dynamics. A demographic information form, the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems-Circumplex Scales Short Form (IIP-C), the Iowa-Netherlands Comparison Orientation Measure (INCOM), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), and the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) were administered to 549 volunteer undergraduates. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to analyze the study data. The test results of the proposed model indicated that ability-based social comparison has significant direct and indirect effects on interpersonal problems. In contrast, opinion-based social comparison has no significant direct or indirect effects on interpersonal problems. To clarify, comparing their abilities with others is a significant factor in undergraduates’ interpersonal problems. Moreover, self-esteem and emotion dysregulation significantly mediate this association. Conversely, comparing their opinions with others is not a significant factor in their experiences of interpersonal problems, and this remained consistent in the mediation of self-esteem and emotion dysregulation. Expected and differentiated findings of the study about the associations of distinct comparison types were discussed in light of the current literature. Presented recommendations for further research included diversifying the sample and considering sub-dimensions of interpersonal problems.
