Sabbath, The Lord’s Day, and the Christian Worship
Authors: Gunawan Chandra
Published: May 2021

Sabbath and the Lord’s day are important concepts in the Old and New Testament. However, Christian traditions have downgraded their role and significant correlation with the Christian worship. The question is how the meaning of Sabbath and the Lord’s day could contribute to understanding the biblical teaching about worship. This article investigates Sabbath dan the Lord’s day from the historical redemptive perspective, demonstrates their significances, and considers their application for the current issue of online services. It argues that Sabbath and the Lord’s day realize of God’s vision regarding the purpose of creation and the new creation and underline God’s present seen through the right and harmonious relationships between human and all creations. Christian worship should signify their sacramental roles demonstrating God’s present through the right and harmonious relationship of believing community. This may become a substantial issue of online services, which is hardly able to show harmonious fellowship of true believers.
Osmanlı Modernleşmesine Yapısal-İşlevselci Bir Bakış
Authors: AKTÜRK Emre , ÖZALP Ahmet
Published: May 2021

Bütün dünya tarihi göz önüne alındığında Osmanlılar, 600 yılı aşkın bir ömre sahip olabilmiş büyük imparatorluklardandır. Osmanlıları böylesine uzun ömürlü ve etkili kılan şeylerin başında, toplumun sosyo-ekonomik düzen ve zihniyeti gelmektedir. Ancak, klasik sosyo-ekonomik düzen ve zihniyet anlayışı zayıflamış devletin ilerlemesini durdurmuş ve Osmanlılar çağdaşları karşısında geri kalmaya başlamıştır. Daha açık bir deyişle gerilemede, teknik yoksunluk ve kaynak eksikliğinden evvel, toplumsal düzen ve zihniyet anlayışının yara alması etkili olmuştur. Osmanlılar üzerine yapılan çalışmaların ve araştırmaların çoğunluğu, devletin sosyo-ekonomik tarihini ikinci plana atarak, savaşlar, fetihler ve antlaşmalar tarihi yazma eğilimindedirler. Ancak bu milliyetçi tarih anlayışı son zamanlarda yerini daha objektif ve çok yönlü tarih anlayışlarına bırakmıştır. Bu çalışmanın konusu, Osmanlı’nın sosyo-ekonomik zihniyetini, işlevselci teorinin yaklaşım ve kavramlarını kullanarak analiz etmek ve sanayileş(e)meme ve kapitalistleş(e)memenin cevaplarını bu zihniyet üzerinden anlamaya ve açıklamaya çalışmaktır. Böylesi bir çalışmanın yapılmasındaki temel amaç, Osmanlı’nın sosyo-ekonomik zihniyetinin belirginleştirilmesi yoluyla, aslında sanayileşememe ya da modernleşememe handikaplarına sosyolojik bazı cevaplar ve argümanlar bulmaktır. Osmanlı’nın neden sanayileşemediği ya da modernleşme yarışından nasıl geri kaldığı sorularına bugüne kadar verilen ve aranan cevaplar, çoğunlukla teknik altyapı eksikliği ve kaynak yokluğu gibi argümanları dikkate almışlardır. İşte bu çalışma da Osmanlı’nın bu geri geri kalmış ya da bırakılmış hâline, toplumsal zihniyeti açıklama çabası içinde cevaplar aramasından dolayı, diğer çalışmalardan ayrılmakta ve önemi ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın bir diğer amacı da Osmanlıların denge ve düzen unsurlarını gözeterek inşa etmiş olduğu devlet ve toplum yapısını, işlevselci teorinin önermeleriyle analize tabi tutmaktır. Çalışmada, Osmanlı’nın klasik dönemindeki (15. ve 17. yy) sosyo-ekonomik zihniyetine odaklanılmaktadır. Osmanlı’nın 600 yılı aşkın ömrü düşünüldüğünde, tüm ömrüne tek bir zihniyetin kaskatı bir şekilde hâkim olduğunu iddia etmek oldukça zordur. Bu yüzden, bu çalışmada, kendisini, Osmanlı’nın klasik dönemi olarak kabul edilen 15. ve 17. yy. ile sınırlandırmakta, ortaya koyulan bu sosyo-ekonomik düzen ve zihniyet ile devletin sanayileşememesi ve kapitalizme geçişinde sorunlar yaşaması tartışılmaktadır. Verilerini literatür taraması üzerinden elde edilen bu tartışmanın sonrasında ise, devletin sanayileşme ve kapitalistleşme gibi kapsamlı bir değişim hikâyesi yazamamasının sebebini, Weber’in rasyonalist değişim teorisinden faydalanılarak açıklanmaya çalışılmaktadır.

Published: May 2021

Despite the ban on use of plastic paper bags, large amounts of plastic litter still exist in our environment. Plastic bottles form a greater percentage of the litter. The growth of the consumer market for cosmetics and soft drinks which are usually packaged in plastic containers continues to give rise to plastic pollution. To maintain the quality of the environment while achieving sustainable development plastic litter could be viewed as raw and innovative materials for making new items. Plastics can be recycled and made into furniture, ornamental products, and building blocks among others. This paper describes how recycling plastic waste into products of plastic sheets and blocks is conducted for multi-purpose use. The resultant sheets and blocks can be designed to have slots and extensions on the edges such that they allow interlocking the same way concrete interlock blocks work. The sheets and blocks can be used to make furniture, office partitions, and interior design. The sheets for furniture making can be craftily decorated with beads while they are still in molten state to produce ornamental furniture. This can be achieved through arranging beads in molds before introducing the molten polymers into them. The plastic blocks and sheets can also be used to make swimming pools and fish ponds. Heating temperature and oxidation should however be monitored to prevent degradation of the polymers. The resultant products are durable, attractive and affordable.

Published: May 2021

Motorcycle accidents remain one of the main global concerns despite extensive research and interventions. The African region has the highest road fatality rates globally, in spite of being the least motorized region. Kenya has an estimated road fatality rate of 20.9 per 100,000 people, higher than that of the European region. There has been an increased use of motorcycles in Kenya over the last decade, so has the number of deaths from motorcycle injury. This study was aimed to establish the determinants of accident occurrence among commercial motorcycle riders in Kaloleni sub-County, Kilifi County, Kenya. A self- administered structured questionnaire was used to collect data from 279 commercial motorcycle riders. Factors associated with accident occurrence were analysed using both bivariate and multivariate analysis. Results showed that 29.2% of the respondents had been involved in a road traffic accident in the past 12 months by the time of the study. Factors that were independently associated with motorcycle accidents included riding experience of more than 8 years (p = 0.040), alcohol use (p = 0.040), slippery roads (p = 0.020) and pot holes on roads (p = <0.001). Moreover, participants acquired their riding skills from friends (64.9%) or self-trained (33.6%). It can be concluded that motorcycle accidents is still a major public health problem in the study area due to the recorded high rate. Thus, it is recommended that all motorcyclists should be well trained and issued with riding license after attending formal training, and strict penalties imposed against anybody contravening road traffic rules. Moreover, roads should be continuously improved to reduce accident rates.
COMPUTER BASED VISUALIZATION AS STIMULATION INSTRUMENT OF COGNITIVE PROCESSES IN SCIENCE EDUCATION: THE RESULTS OF PILOT RESEARCH
Authors: Bilbokaitė Renata
Published: May 2021

It is very important for science education to have perfectly prepared aids that could show invisible phenomena and could foster deeper motivation. Also, visualization as a learning and teaching tool could stimulate the perception. This leads to the opinion that represented objects could be shown in the classroom as essential part of education and its organization. Visualization in science as an essential teaching/learning tool has become of great importance nowadays because the technological progress is raising high require-ments for education. Problem question – whether computer based visualization stimulates cognitive process-es and what exact processes it activate? Research methods: analysis of information resources, questioning, qualitative method. Research methodology: model of genetic structural intellect, the theory of dual code, vis-ual thinking theory. Participants of the research. 209 schoolchildren from secondary schools participated in the research. Random sampling was chosen when schoolchildren in grades 9 and 10 had a possibility to par-ticipate in the research. The research instrument, a questionnaire with open-ended and closed questions, was designed. There were 209 schoolchildren (92 schoolchildren from grade 9, 107 – from grade 10) in the sam-ple. The respondents were about 14–17 years of age (2 schoolchildren–14 years old, 73 schoolchildren–15 years old, 111 schoolchildren–16 years old and 23 schoolchildren–17 years old). The respondents’ distribu-tion by gender: 72 girls and 45 boys of grade 10, 45 girls and 47 boys of grade 9.
The results. Computer based visualization makes easier perception processes because it activates perception operations. Views in the screen help to compare details in visual form and to distinguish the main features. Also it helps to see objects in the whole objects and other things connected with them. All these facts help students to perceive visual information and to understand verbal one too. The results of the re-search enclose that computer based visualization help to memorize information. It is already known that it is easier to remember visual information and computer screen makes qualitative effect to the memory. At least, students reflect that computer based visualization helps to imagine things that are very abstract or difficult. According to students they are able to create images and mental models about phenomena when they see some similar analogs in the screen. To sum up, there could be done a prediction that computer based visuali-zation could foster deeper work of perception, memory and imagination.
Key words: visualization, science education, cognitive processes.
VISUALIZATION IN ASTRONOMY AT GENERAL SCHOOL
Authors: Krons Aivars
Published: May 2021

This is an International Year of Astronomy (IYA 2009) when we pay great attention to astronomy education. The International Year of Astronomy is a year-long celebration of astronomy, taking place in 2009 to coincide with the 400th anniversary of the first recorded astronomical observations with a telescope by Galileo Galilei.
Author presents a modern approach to teaching astronomy and planetary sciences, centered on visual images and simulations of planetary objects. The basic idea is to take the students to other celestial objects as tourists, and to teach science through the observations of various natural phenomena in these new environments. The power of scientific visualization, through still and dynamic images, makes such a journey an exciting learning experience. The introduction of new technologies (3D animations, virtual reality) greatly enhances the visualization capabilities the teacher can use, allowing him to simulate actual flights over the terrain of other planets and to study them as if observing from a spaceship in orbit. The present article focuses on the study of the Moon, planets, asteroids and Galaxies by means of observations, interpretations, and comparison to planet Earth. Students learn to recognize geological and atmospheric processes, discuss astronomic phenomena, celestial bodies and discover that the same basic physical laws govern all objects in the Solar system and Universe.
Key words: interactive learning, astronomy, telescope, astronomy education, scientific visualization, virtual reality (VR).

Published: May 2021

The importance of ethnic minority businesses (EMBs) has been lauded in the entrepreneurship discourse. Building on entrepreneurial orientation theory, this study seeks to understand family influence on the entrepreneurial processes, practices, and decision-making activities in a relatively under-explored social group. The methodological approach in this study involved in-depth interviews with 10 entrepreneurs based in the United Kingdom. This study found strong social identity congruence behaviour of explored entrepreneurs from the point of how their entrepreneurial orientation is family-influence driven. For the entrepreneurs, the family is a central behaviour factor that exerts significantly on their entrepreneurial processes and decision making. As a result, actual judgement and decision making of entrepreneurs may not necessarily be driven by economic logic but largely by family control factors that even exert more significantly on entrepreneurial behaviour. This study contributes to the psychological and family control perspectives on entrepreneurship discourse. This study has two core limitations: it is based on the qualitative approach and explores only one social group. Future research in the form of quantitative studies that also examine other cultural enclaves would therefore help to enhance the causes and effects conclusions suggested in this study.
Cost-Structure and the Volatility of Capitalism
Authors: Philipson Sarah
Published: May 2021

This conceptual paper explores the phenomena of changing cost-structures and the implications for the volatility of capitalism and the possibility to manage firms in such a hostile environment and proposes future research. It also provides an explanation of why the relevance of accounting is lost, the so-called “relevance lost” debate (see among others Francis & Schipper, 1999).

The changing cost-structures raises fundamental questions concerning the resulting volatility of capitalism and the management of firms in such an increasingly more volatile environment. In Philipson, Johansson & Scheley (2016), we raised the question if it was possible to “...to ride the dragon.” Considering the importance of these phenomena, it is astonishing that we have not found any empirical research concerning them. They rest research questions, based on the author’s almost 25 years of experience as a senior executive in Scandinavian industry.

1,3,4-oxadiazoles are important because of its versatile biological actions. In the present study, several 2-(quinoline-8-yloxymethyl)-5-aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazole derivates (IIIa-j) have been synthesized by the condensation of 8-hydroxy quinoline acetyl hydrazide (II) with various aromatic acids in presence of phosphorous oxychloride. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds have been established on the basis of elemental analysis, UV, IR, and 1H NMR spectral data. The synthesized compounds were screened for their in vitro growth-inhibiting activity against different strains of bacteria and fungi viz., S aureus, E. Coli, P. aeruginosa, C. Albicans, A. flavus, and A. fumigates, and the results were compared with the standard such as Ampicillin (50µg/ml) using agar diffusion technique. Compounds IIIc and IIIf were found to be equipotent as ampicillin when tested against the strains of E.Coli where as tested compounds IIIc, IIIf and IIIi showed good antibacterial and antifungal activity when tested against the strains of S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, and C. Albicans.

Under the U.S. Department of Energy Waste Treatment Baseline and Integrated Waste Management Strategy the recycling of spent nuclear fuel to minimize waste, to assure maximum energy recovery, and to pursue science-based R&D to possibly eliminate the need for geologic waste repositories, are programmatic goals. We have developed both polymer gel and porous materials for the separation and adsorption of targeted contaminants. Here, we have investigated capture and encapsulation capabilities of hydrogels consisting of thermally-sensitive copoly[N-isopropylacrylamide(1-x) / functional monomer(x)] networks, where functional denotes carboxylic, hydroxyl, or cyanide group (mol fraction x); the captured and encapsulated species were: Cr3+, Co2+, Cu2+, Ni2+, Eu3+, Ho3+ and Tb3+ present in aqueous medium. Natural diffusions of cations into gel phase and the physico-chemical affinity of functional groups for cations played a major role in capturing cations. Encapsulation of cations trapped in hydrogels was achieved by loss of water and conformational transformation of networks through a volumetric phase transition. Experimental determinations of cation amounts (mass) and copolymer composition were carried out by atomic absorption and elemental analyses of carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen, respectively. We developed two approaches for determination of efficiency and selectivity metrics describing capture and encapsulation of cations by functional groups using two theories: 1) mean field theory and 2) first-order thermodynamic perturbation theory. The integrated results thus obtained show that: Cu2+ and Co2+ were selectively encapsulated by carboxylic and cyanide groups, respectively. Carboxylic and hydroxyl groups were superior extractants for Cr3+, Eu3+ and Ho3+. Further the cyanide group was also efiective for Eu3+ and Ho3+. However, all functional groups examined here were ineffective in capture and encapsulation ofNi2+.

Published: May 2021

A new series of 7-(2-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-ylamino)ethoxy)-4-methyl-2H-chromen-2-one derivatives(4a4k) was synthesized and evaluated for their D2 and 51HT2 antagonistic activity as a measure of atypical antipsychotic properly. Compounds 7-(2-(benzo[d]thiazo/-2-ylamino)ethoxy)-4-methyl-2H-chromen-2- one derivatives (4a-4k) was synthesized by refluxing 2-amino benzothiazoles substituted derivatives (3a3k) and 7-(2-Chloroethoxy)-4-melhyl-2H-chromen-2-one (2) in dry pyridine. The synthesized compounds were characterized with the help of spectral and analytical data. Most of these compounds showed dopamine D2 receptor antagonistic activity from moderate to high potency along with serotonin 5-HT2 receptor blockage activity: a property that has been suggested to be necessary for the atypical nature of antipsychotic agents. The D2 and 5-HT2 receptor blockage activity was evaluated by inhibition of apomorphine-induced climbing behavior and 5HTP induced head twitches in mice respectively.

Development over the years has changed the life of humans. Communication and connectivity play a major role in today’s life. Technology has evolved over the time phase and brought the people closer to each other, overcoming the barriers of borders and timezones. Virtual connectivity has become a new type of connect between people which allow them to interact with each other anytime anywhere. Internet has made this possible. Devices like routers, switches that support this connectivity also play a major role. Routers are networking devices operating at layer 3 or a network layer of the OSI model. They are responsible for receiving, analyzing, and forwarding data packets among the connected computer networks. Cables and wires have evolved to support high-speed data transfer and more bandwidth. People are always uploading and downloading files, videos, media over the internet. As the transmission rate has drastically increased the end devices also had to evolve to handle the speed. Routers being the main end devices had a major change in architecture and working. New processors chips are also included into the routers for clearing the data traffic on the client side itself. Routers are now manufactured with different modes, which benefit the users. Routers can be used as repeaters, extenders by changing the configuration

Effect of Homogenization Temperature and Soaking Time on the Microstructure and Corrosion Properties of a Twin Roll Casted AA3003
Authors: Verkens Donovan , Revilla Reynier I. , Günyüz Mert , Işıksaçan Cemil , Terryn Herman , De Graeve Iris
Published: May 2021

The AA3003 alloy is widely used as fin material in heat exchangers. The lifetime of these heat exchangers is mostly determined by their corrosion properties. Twin roll casting (TRC) of AA3003 material is known to often result in the formation of a macrosegregation area of alloying elements toward the center plane of the casted strip (center line segregation = CLS). Considering the potential exposure of cross-sectional areas of TRC material in the heat exchanger fin application, and the relatively high corrosion susceptibility of the CLS, the study of this region is of key importance to understand the microstructural effects on the resulting corrosion mechanisms and kinetics for these materials. Typically the alloys are homogenized to bring the microstructures closer to an equilibrium state, but the impact of this heat treatment on the corrosion properties is insufficiently studied. Therefore, this study investigates the effect of different homogenization procedures on the corrosion properties of the CLS and the interaction of the intermetallic particles with the surrounding aluminum matrix. This work shows that the pitting corrosion resistance is greatly dependent on the homogenization temperature, with better corrosion resistance obtained with higher temperature, especially near the CLS. This difference in corrosion behavior is completely attributed to a difference in microstructure and not to an oxide layer effect. Furthermore, it is observed that not only temperature will have a large influence on the corrosion resistance, but duration of the heat treatment as well.

With the development in technologies right from serial to parallel computing, GPU, AI, and deep learning models a series of tools to process complex images have been developed. The main focus of this research is to compare various algorithms(pre-trained models) and their contributions to process complex images in terms of performance, accuracy, time, and their limitations. The pre-trained models we are using are CNN, R-CNN, R-FCN, and YOLO. These models are python language-based and use libraries like TensorFlow, OpenCV, and free image databases (Microsoft COCO and PAS-CAL VOC 2007/2012). These not only aim at object detection but also on building bounding boxes around appropriate locations. Thus, by this review, we get a better vision of these models and their performance and a good idea of which models are ideal for various situations.

Stubble burning is now considered to be one of the major activities affecting air quality because it is one of the major sources of aerosol as well as gaseous pollution. There are two main reasons for biomass burning, first one is that there is a very short window of time between the harvesting and the wheat sowing of the wheat. The second being, removing the paddy residue that has remained on the field is a time-consuming job. The time period from harvesting to sowing being very low and the labor is either very expensive or unavailable this leads to the only easiest option that the farmer has i.e. burning the residue right on the field after harvest so that the farmers can quickly prepare the land for the next sowing. This method is very cheap and takes less time that’s why farmers use this method. For this specific reason with the onset of winter, stubble fires become rampant in north India. Stubble-burning emissions contain toxic chemicals which cause respiratory problems as well as diseases. The paper aims to examine the environmental impacts associated with stubble burning over the NCT of Delhi. The paper performs both qualitative and quantitative analysis on the statistical data pertaining to crop burning. The monthly variation for particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) and trace gases (NOx, CO, and SO2) during the stubble burning period (Sep-Nov) has also been studied and analyzed for 5 years (2015-19), and a noticeable increase in pollutant levels.

Small businesses are vital for employment and job creation in South Africa. The implementation of sound cash management practices is essential to ensure to profitability and sustainability of any successful business. The commonly used expression, “Cash is king” cannot be contested as its validity was more prevalent in this research study. The aim of the study was to identify the current cash management practices of small retail businesses in the Tongaat area and identify the impact of such practices on their profitability and sustainability. This descriptive, cross sectional study, using a quantitative research paradigm and a non-probability sampling method targeted a sample of 69 businesses in the chosen area. The sample structure consisted of small retail businesses in the Tongaat area of KwaZulu-Natal. There was a significant relationship between drawing budgets and sustainability. This finding suggests that the more often the business draws up cash budgets, the more viable and sustainable the business is. 78.3% of the respondents acknowledged the importance of keeping records in the business, however, only 29.9% drew up cash budgets. The findings of this study could be useful to potential, emerging and established owners of all types of businesses since effective and efficient cash management is an integral component of any successful business. There should be more emphasis placed on the impact of how proper cash management practices can affect profitability and sustainability of a small retail business. A recommendation that adds value to the study was to engage the final-year, National Diploma: Cost and Management Accounting students in an integrated project, where they can provide cash management advice to these businesses. This will enhance the small businesses’ knowledge of cash management and encourage implementation of these procedures to assist in increasing profitability and sustainability in their business.

Penafsiran al-Qur’a>n dari masa ke masa mengalami banyak perkembangan dan sekaligus mengalami pergeseran epistemologi. Jika di masa abad-abad awal (era formatif), karya tafsir al-Qur’a>n lebih menekankan pada aspek periwayatan atau yang dikenal dengan tafsir bi al-ma’thu>r, maka pada perkembangan berikutnya, abad pertengahan, sudah mulai banyak terjadi pergeseran, terutama dalam aspek kecenderungan ideologis, selain aspek metodologis tentunya. Salah satu kecenderungan yang muncul dan berkembang hingga kini, adalah kecenderungan sufistik. Model ini biasanya muncul dari mufasir yang memiliki latar belakang tasawuf, seperti al-Qushairi, Ibn Arabi, dan al-Tusta>ri, dan lain-lain. Tulisan ini berupaya mendiskusikan salah satu karya tafsir yang ditulis oleh al-Qushairi, yakni tafsir Lat}a>’if al-Isha>ra>t. Fokus tulisan ini adalah upaya menguak kerangka metodologis dan kecenderungan ideologis dari tafsir yang cukup popular ini.
Bahaya Hamba Bersandar Pada Amal: Perspektif Khauf dan Raja’
Authors: Yusuf Moh
Published: May 2021

Khauf dan raja' merupakansuatu elemen dari komposisi struktur bangunan jiwa manusia. Suatu elemen yang disediakan oleh sang Pencipta. Kedua elemen ini akan mencul dalam diri manusia pada suatu kondisi atau keadaan tertentu dari pengalaman manusia.Khauf  ketika berlebihan dan mendominasi jiwa manusia maka akan berujung kepada putus asa dan berbuah petaka. Sedangkan raja'yang merambat secara liar akan menuntun kepada kesombongan dan berganti kerugian. Hadirnyadominasi khauf  berawal dari sikap bersandar kepada amal atau kemampuan secara berlebihan dari seorang hamba. Sedangkan kemunculan raja'yang merambat tidak terkontrol disebabkan oleh sikap yang sama kepada amal. Karakterkebergantunganini telah membuat manusia bersikap minimalis terhadap rahmat Allah serta peran-Nya sebagai pencipta kebijakan absolut suatu amal dinilai/diterima atau ditolak. Dibutuhkan kesimbangan terus menerus antara khauf dan raja' supaya rasa bersandar kepada amal terelimener dan terbangun harmonisasi batin yang nyaman merambah kepada mahabbah.

Bir destinasyonu ziyaret eden turistin destinasyondan zihninde olumlu bir imajla memnun ayrılması, destinasyonun rekabet üstünlüğü sağlamasında önemli bir unsurdur. Turistlerin destinasyondan memnun ayrılmasını sağlayan pek çok faktör vardır. Turist memnuniyetini etkileyen faktörlerden biri de destinasyonda turistlere ziyaretleri sırasında eşlik eden turist rehberlerinin hizmetleridir. Turist rehberlerinin tur süresince sergilemiş olduğu etik davranışlar, turistlerin destinasyona karşı olumlu ya da olumsuz bir imaj oluşturmalarını etkilemektedir. Çalışmanın amacı, turist rehberlerinin etik davranışlarının destinasyon imajına etkisini ortaya koymaktır. Bu amaçla kuramsal bir model oluşturulmuş ve araştırma hipotezleri geliştirilmiştir. Kapsamlı bir literatür taraması sonucunda oluşturulan anket formu, Kapadokya’yı ziyaret eden yerli ve yabancı 438 turiste uygulanmıştır. Araştırmada turistlerin sosyo-demografik özelliklerinin ve ölçek maddelerinin değerlendirilmesine ilişkin Frekans Dağılımı Analizi, ölçeğin maddelerini gruplandırmak için açıklayıcı Faktör Analizi, ölçeklerin geçerliliğini ortaya koymak için Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi ve etkiyi belirlemek için Regresyon Analizi gibi istatistiksel analiz yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda turist rehberlerinin etik davranışlarını oluşturan “güvenilirlik”, “mesleki sorumluluk” ve “adil olma” boyutlarının, destinasyonun “bilişsel imajına”, bununla birlikte “güvenilirlik” ve “adil olma” boyutlarının da “duyuşsal imajına” anlamlı bir etkisi olduğu bulgusu elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen bu bulgular doğrultusunda turist rehberinin güvenilir, mesleki sorumluluk sahibi ve adil olmasının destinasyon imajını etkilediği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
