Authors: Chowdhury Mina , Jolly Rabeya Sultana , Amin Rogina , Elora Ashfi Laila , Kader Mousumi , Afrose Taslima
Published: November 2024

Background: Cervical cancer ranks as the fourth most commonly diagnosed cancer and the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women. The purpose of this study was to assess the pattern of high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in women diagnosed with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). The aim of the study was to evaluate the pattern of high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection among women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN).
Methods: This descriptive observational study involved 100 patients diagnosed with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) at the gynecological oncology unit, department of gynecology and obstetrics, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh, from January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2020. Inclusion criteria comprised married women aged 30 to 60 years with colposcopically diagnosed CIN. Socio-demographic data, medical history, and clinical findings were collected and analyzed using SPSS 22.0.
Results: The mean age of the patients was 39.26 years (±6.99), with most being housewives (87%) and a large proportion residing in Dhaka (29%). HPV strains were detected in 67% of histopathologically diagnosed CIN cases, with HPV 16 being the most common strain, found in 67.34% of HPV-positive cases. Additionally, mono-infection was more prevalent than co-infection among HPV-positive patients (61.22% versus 38.8%), with the difference being statistically significant (p<0.05).
Conclusions: HPV genotypes 16 and 18, being the most prevalent in this study, highlight the need for targeted HPV vaccines and screening programs tailored to the Bangladeshi population to effectively prevent cervical cancer.
Colposcopic evaluation of unhealthy cervix and its correlation with pap smear and cervical biopsy
Authors: Lata Gagan , Gupta Liza
Published: November 2024

Background: Carcinoma cervix is the second most common gynecological malignancy amongst Indian women aged 25-44 years after carcinoma breast. But it is preventable as it has a long pre-invasive phase. Various methods are available for screening the cervical cancer which can detect disease in early stages of pre-invasive phase. Present study has been conducted to see the correlation of colposcopy, histopathology and Pap smear. This study aimed to screen women with PAP smear and colposcopy who have abnormal symptoms and to compare and correlate colposcopy and cytology with histopathology. Further, this study aimed to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of colposcopy versus pap smear in the early detection of dysplasias.
Methods: This study was conducted in the department of obstetrics and gynecology at AMCH, Shahbad from 1st January 2021 to 31st December 2022. This was a prospective clinical study on 200 randomly selected women who fulfilled selection criteria. They underwent Pap smear, colposcopy and cervical biopsy according to the criteria after informed consent.
Results: This study showed that colposcopy had high sensitivity (82%) and a low specificity (81%) when compared to Pap smear. In the present study, the accuracy of colposcopic impression was found to be 82%.
Conclusions: CIN lesions and early invasive cancers should be diagnosed in an earlier stage for instituting appropriate management. Colposcopy is definitely more sensitive and accurate than pap smear. By combining pap smear with colposcopy, we can maximise the sensitivity and specificity of cancer cervix screening.
Vitamin D status in pregnant female and its effect on the maternal and fetal outcome
Authors: Seth Princee , Gehlot Hanslata , Ghasal Sarita , Verma Jyoti
Published: November 2024

Background: Vitamin D deficiency is a global public health problem and is very common in pregnancy. Vitamin D status during pregnancy is of very much importance as it’s deficiency leads to increase risk of maternal and fetal complications like hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDOP), gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), preterm, prelabor rupture of membranes (PROM), caesarean section, low birth weight (LBW) babies, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), still birth and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission.
Methods: 300 pregnant women were studied to assess serum vitamin D level over period of 9 months followed by analytical study done regarding maternal and fetal outcome.
Results: Study shows 250 pregnant women out of 300 were deficient in vitamin D. Most of vitamin D deficient patients were under age of 30 years, housewives from rural sector. In both groups, most of patients underwent vaginal delivery. Pregnancies with complication were more seen in vitamin D deficient patients which include higher rate of GDM and HDOP. But other pregnancy complications like preterm, abruption, and prolonged labor were not prominently associated with vitamin D deficiency. Fetal complications and higher NICU admission rate were more seen in babies of vitamin D deficient mothers but no or little effect found on birth weight.
Conclusions: Our study has observed higher rate of vitamin D deficiency in pregnant women and its level had significant effect on maternal and fetal complications. Though routine screening is not beneficial attributed to its high prevalence rate and cost effectiveness but since supplementation of vitamin D is simple with low likelihood of toxicity, we recommend adequate exposure to sunlight and supplementation of vitamin D in all pregnant women to keep serum level of 25(OH)D in the normal range for adult >30 ng/ml.

Authors: Bhatia Ruby , Kumari Neha , Tewari Vidushi , Malik Sanjum Y. , Goel Rishu
Published: November 2024

Leprosy also called as Hansen's disease, one of the oldest infectious diseases in the world. It is a chronic condition that mostly affects the skin, mucous membranes, and peripheral nerves. Although leprosy is infrequently observed during pregnancy but when it occurs, can worsen and in the absence of treatment cause irreversible damage to the skin, limbs, nerves, and other organs. It is therefore necessary to have vigil eye for early diagnosis, management and treatment of leprosy during pregnancy for best maternal and fetal outcomes. We report a rarest in fact seen first time in 38 years of clinical practice, a primigravida 29-weeks pregnancy, early onset preeclampsia with lepromatous leprosy came to emergency with chief complaints of multiple erythematous papules arising all over the body mainly limbs and abdomen associated with intense pain. A diagnosis of lepromatous leprosy was made on the basis of biopsy report. Patient was treated with multidrug therapy (MDT) as per national leprosy elimination program (NLEP) successfully and delivered a healthy baby boy without any adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes. The infant growth following delivery was normal during follow up period till one year. Multidrug therapy consisting of dapsone, rifampicin and clofazimine is highly effective treatment for leprosy and considered safe for both mother and child hence treatment should be continued unchanged during pregnancy.

Published: November 2024

Pregnancy in rudimentary horn is a rare occurrence with incidence of less than 1 in 150,000. Pregnant rudimentary horn can present with wide range of symptoms that may be similar to ectopic pregnancy or may remain silent with features of normal pregnancy. Management is typically resection of the rudimentary horn by either laparotomy or laparoscopy. This case  has been reported for its rarity and dilemma in diagnosis which is a case of a 21 years old, married since 1 year  primigravida nullipara  presented  with  3 and half  month amenorrhea with acute abdomen since 2 days. Her vitals were stable with severe anaemia (Hb 5 gm%). Her obstetric USG showed features of 14 weeks foetus in probably rudimentary horn on left side. Right sided horn showed normal endometrial thickness. Patient’s emergency laparotomy was done with excision of rudimentary horn containing the pregnancy. The wall of rudimentary horn showed rupture with hemoperitoneum 200 ml. To conclude, uterine abnormalities are rarely encountered in pregnancy. Attempts should be made for early diagnosis to avoid maternal mortality. Ultrasound in the first trimester may provide a means of an early diagnosis. It requires proper history, high level of suspicion, routine early pregnancy scan and documentation of operative findings. Rudimentary horn pregnancy should always be kept as differential diagnosis in early second trimester pregnancy with acute abdomen.

Effect of personal histories of top executives and company headquarters geographical relationship on corporate performance: Empirical study from China
Authors: Wang Limin , Wu Xiangli
Published: November 2024

This paper analyses wherever top executives were born and wherever they attended university to reveal regional groupings of the executives that form company culture and strategy in China and the mechanisms by which they affect corporate performance. It was found that the personal histories of top executives affect their decision-making orientation, and, in turn, company culture. The personal histories of executives and intra-regional, intra-provincial and intra-city links of corporate headquarters were obvious factors for executive selection. Distances were higher, and percentages of intra-regional links were lower for higher profit and growth companies. This shows that more competitive companies are more likely to hire executives who have lived in different regions or institutions in their lifetimes and university educations. The study concludes that Chinese firms’ key choices are influenced, in part, by external geographic factors way more advanced than the self-operation of individual enterprises.

Yusufefendizâde’nin Tefsîru Sûrateyi’l-Beled ve’l-Kevser İsimli Risalesinin Tahkiki
Authors: Ağbal Davut
Published: November 2024

Bu makale, XVIII. yüzyıl Osmanlı âlimlerinden Yûsuf Efendizâde Abdullah Hilmi el-Amâsî’nin Tefsîru Sûrati’l-Beled ve’l-Kevser isimli risalesinin tahkiki ve muhteva açısından incelenmesini konu edinmektedir. Yûsuf Efendizâde 1656-1754 tarihleri arasında İstanbul’da yaşamış, döneminin önemli alimleri arasındadır. Kendisine el-Amâsî nisbesinin verilmesi Amasya’nın babasının memleketi olması sebebiyledir. Yine Yusuf Efendizâde ismi de dedesine nispetledir. Hem babası hem de dedesi yaşadıkları dönem itibariyle Kıraat İlmi’nde öne çıkmış şahsiyetlerdir. Müellifin ilimle iştigal eden bir aileye mensup olması onun eğitim hayatında etkili olmuştur. Bu durum, kendisinin velûd karakteriyle birleşince Abdullah Hilmi Efendi arkasında birçok eser bırakarak ahirete intikal etmiştir. el-Beled ve el-Kevser surelerinin tefsirini içeren risale de onun bu eserleri arasında yer almaktadır. Risalenin tespit edilebildiği kadarıyla Türkiye kütüphanelerinde sadece bir nüshası bulunmaktadır. Müfessir bu iki sureyi şerh ve haşiye usulüyle tefsir etmemiş olsa da kaynak olarak kullandığı eserlerdeki malumatların kapsamlı bir özetini sunduğu görülmektedir. Ne var ki bunu yeni bir kompozisyon oluşturan kendi edebi zevki çerçevesinde gerçekleştirmiştir. Öte yandan eserde şerh ve haşiye üslubuna istemsizce meylettiği birkaç yere de rastlamak mümkündür. Bu da eserin yazıldığı dönemin ilmî üslup ve karakteristiğini yansıtan bir veri olarak görülebilir. Bu açıdan risalenin tefsir ilmi içerisinde yeni bir bakış açısı ve üslubu sunduğunu söylemek zordur. Ama bu risalelerin gün yüzüne çıkarılmasının, dönemsel ilmi kabulleri, entelektüel atmosferi ve belirli tür eserlerdeki kronolojik konu, üslup ve yöntem değişikliklerini tespit etme noktasında yapılacak kapsamlı değerlendirmeler için oldukça önemli olduğu muhakkaktır.

Gabriel Tarde’da Sosyolojinin Niceliksel Kavranışı ve İstatistik Biliminin Önemi Üzerine Bir Değerlendirme
Authors: Özcan Emre
Published: November 2024

Bu çalışmanın amacı, sosyolojinin bağımsız bir disiplin haline gelmesindeki önemli teorisyenlerden biri olan Gabriel Tarde’ın sosyolojiyi niceliksel olanın içerisinden kavramaya yönelik tutumunun ve bu bağlamda istatistik bilimine yüklediği rolün arka planını aktarmaktır. Tarde, toplumsal sahanın arzu ve inanç kuvvet akışlarından meydana geldiğini düşünmektedir. Bu akışlar, toplumsal sahayı boyadan boya kesen, mikroskobik, yani sonsuz küçükte devinen çokluklardır. Bunlar, toplumsal olana maddilik kazandırmalarıyla anlam kazanırlar. Sosyoloji ise bir mikro sosyoloji olarak bu akışlar düzlemindeki kuvvet ilişkilerinin, dinamizmlerin açığa çıkarılması işlevini üstlenmektedir. Tarde’a göre heterojen, yani biçimlenmemiş olan arzu ve inanç kuvvetleri, yalnızca niceliksel olarak idrak edilen akışlardır ve bu anlamda iç içe geçtikleri, niteliksel şekilde kendisini sunan duyumsamalardan ayrılmaktadırlar. Bu nedenle de bu kuvvetlerin toplumsal sahadaki yayılımlarını, bileşimlerini, kesilmelerini aktarabilmenin yolu istatistik bilimine başvurmaktan geçmektedir. İstatistik, arzu ve inanç kuvvet ilişkilerine ilişkin bir haritalandırma işlemi olarak çalışmaktadır. Bu işlem aracılığıyla kuvvet ilişkilerine dair tarihi monografi oluşturulmaktadır. Bu monografinin oluşmasında sadece sosyoloji istatistiğe değil, istatistik de sosyolojinin yöntemlerine başvurmak durumundadır.
The Lateral Surface Phonon Modes in Bi-layer Dielectrics with Different Values of Permittivity
Authors: Gunawan Vincensius
Published: November 2024

Surface phonon polaritons were electromagnetic waves that propagated at the surface of dielectrics.  These polaritons had many attentions since the frequency can reach in the order of terahertz.  Hence, it can be employ in terahertz technology.  One of the general method to study polaritons was by solving Maxwell's equations.  The results were dispersion relation which showed the characteristic of the polaritons.  In this study, we analyze polaritons of a bilayer dielectric which was comprised of two dielectrics which had different permittivities.  We set the thickness of each dielectric was smaller than the wavelength so that we could use effective medium method.  In this approximation, we can treat a multilayer system as a single effective medium medium.  We also assumed that the surface modes propagated across the thickness of each dielectric.  It was found that when the resonant frequency of the two dielectrics were considerably wide, then we had two branches of surface polaritons.  In this result, each branch represented each dielectric.  The interesting results appeared when there was intersection of the the frequencies near resonant frequency of the dielectrics.  In this condition, we found only one branch of surface modes.

The Influence of Leverage, Activity Ratio and Dividend Policy on Company Value with Bank Interest Rates as a Moderating Variable in Banking Sector Companies
Authors: Rachmaningtyas Djuliandhika , Yuniningsih
Published: November 2024

This study aims to examine the influence of Leverage, activity ratio, and dividend policy on firm value, with the bank interest rate as a moderating variable. The population used in this study consists of banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The sample was selected using purposive sampling, resulting in a sample of 12 companies. The data were then analyzed using multiple linear regression and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) with SPSS software. The results show that Leverage, measured by the Debt to Equity Ratio (DER); activity ratio, measured by Total Asset Turnover (TATO); and dividend policy, measured by the Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR), have a positive and significant impact on firm value, measured by the Price Earnings Ratio (PER). The MRA results indicate that the bank interest rate, measured by the BI-Rate as the moderating variable, does not moderate the effects of Leverage, activity ratio, and dividend policy on firm value.
Shaping Gender: The Role of Family in Children's Identity Construction
Authors: Margarito Gaspar Mayra
Published: November 2024

The document examines how gender stereotypes influence identity construction in children aged 9 to 12. Stereotypes act as normative frameworks that shape the perception of masculine and feminine roles, which children internalize from an early age. Using gender schema theory, the study investigated how children represent these roles in activities and narratives, aiming to understand how the family serves as both a reference and an agent in socializing and forming stereotypes. To do this, family representations in idea-completion exercises and creative productions of 186 children were analyzed, providing insights into the perpetuation or questioning of these cultural norms. The results show a strong association with traditional roles in parental figures: the father as provider and protector, and the mother as caregiver, reflecting conventional stereotypes. However, modest changes are also observed, with an emerging participation of the father in domestic roles. In contrast, siblings and cousins have less rigid and more diverse roles, especially in recreational activities, suggesting a more flexible space for gender identity exploration. Grandparents and uncles, on the other hand, often appear as extensions of parental roles, reinforcing the transmission of traditional norms. This exposes the need for educational interventions that promote a more equitable view, allowing children to explore their gender identities authentically and without rigid cultural constraints.
Exploring the Relationship Between Colonial Governance and Nandi Leadership in Kenya, 1905 - 1918.
Authors: NG'ETICH BENJAMIN
Published: November 2024

The relationship between colonial governance and Nandi leadership in Kenya has received significant scholarly attention, particularly their dual roles in serving both colonial administrations and their communities. While there are limited studies on the Nandi colonial chiefs in this context, this research critically examines their roles in the Nandi’s social, economic, and political transformation from 1905 to 1918. Grounded in the ‘Principal-Agent’ Theory, the study utilised a historical research design, incorporating oral interviews and archival document analysis. Purposive and Snowball sampling methods were used to identify knowledgeable respondents. Validity and reliability were ensured through expert review of the data collection tools. Findings indicate that the introduction of colonial chiefs represented an alien form of governance initially met with rejection by the Nandi. However, these chiefs fostered social, economic, and political developments as acceptance grew. The study concludes that the Nandi chiefs faced a principal-agent problem, navigating conflicting interests of their communities and the colonial administration, leading them to be seen as both agents for the Nandi and loyal members of the colonial system
Economía solidaria con enfoque de género en Ecuador
Authors: Lanas Medina Elisa
Published: November 2024

Pese a la cercanía a nivel teórico en que se encuentran la economía feminista y la economía solidaria, en la práctica, la participación de las mujeres en la ES no ha contado en Ecuador con adecuadas garantías normativas ni institucionales. Es reciente la preocupación de las instituciones públicas por proveer información de la participación en la ES de las personas desagregada por género, que permite visualizar las menores oportunidades que las mujeres tienen frente a los hombres de desarrollarse integralmente en esta economía. Más grave aún es la total ausencia de información y por tanto valoración del aporte personal que las mujeres realizan respecto al cuidado humano y atención de las tareas domésticas y comunitarias que no son para la economía productiva. Es preciso y urgente implementar acciones que permitan contabilizar, valorar y retribuir económica y socialmente esas actividades. Además, hay que impulsar un verdadero cambio de roles en las actividades que hombres y mujeres desempeñan en la ES.

Published: November 2024

El buen gobierno cooperativo se define como aquella instancia donde las organizaciones desarrollan su objeto social dentro de una estructura social democrática, y, donde los socios cumplen funciones asignadas tendientes a satisfacer las necesidades y alcanzar los fines institucionales. El sector cooperativo de ahorro y crédito del Ecuador ha experimentado una significativa disminución de sus miembros a partir del control que ejecuta la Superintendencia de Economía Popular y Solidaria, esto por varios problemas relacionados con la forma de gobernar dichas instituciones, entre otros: incumplimiento de las normas, decisión voluntaria de los líderes y crisis financieras. En este contexto, la presente investigación plantea y analiza los requisitos para la implementación del buen gobierno en cooperativas de ahorro y crédito (COAC), partiendo del enfoque institucional hasta el enfoque asociativo, sobre la base de un detallado análisis bibliográfico y sustentado en la aplicación de una ficha de entrevista para cuatro representantes legales de COAC del segmento tres de la provincia de Tungurahua. Los resultados del estudio indican opciones de mejora de los principios de cooperación entre COAC, interés por la comunidad, gestión democrática y educación, formación e información, siendo importante la necesidad de ajustes en estas áreas para cumplir con la función social de dichas organizaciones.

Published: November 2024

Este artigo provém da constante busca por uma conduta ética-investigativa, aberta e correspondente com bebês e crianças bem pequenas. Neste sentido, a escrita apresenta duplo enfoque: movimenta-se em torno de reconsiderações metodológicas acerca da conduta etnográfica, ao mesmo tempo em que manifesta o propósito de atribuir visibilidade às minúcias e potencialidades que emanam da relação dos bebês e crianças pequenas com o quintal da escola. A pesquisa debruça-se sob cenas de trabalhos de campo realizados em 2018 e 2019 e articula-se à da Antropologia da Criança e concepções da Antropologia Ecológica ingoldiana, a fim de refletir sobre o quintal da escola como um terreno propício às experiências e às descobertas próprias de bebês e crianças pequenas. Considera-se que a experiência etnográfica em horizontalidade com bebês e crianças no quintal da escola fornece subsídios para ampliar a discussão teórico-metodológica dos estudos de bebês e crianças pequenas, sobretudo para compreendê-los a partir de suas próprias perspectivas.
El delito de asociación ilícita en el derecho argentino a la luz de las exigencias de la Convención de Naciones Unidas contra la Delincuencia Organizada
Authors: Santiago Cordini Nicolás
Published: November 2024

Este artículo examina la delincuencia organizada desde una perspectiva conceptual, con el objetivo de determinar su existencia y aclarar su naturaleza. La hipótesis central sugiere que Argentina, al igual que otros países, experimenta demoras en cumplir con las obligaciones internacionales, operando en la práctica con conceptos previos. La investigación se desarrolla mediante una metodología cualitativa, utilizando un análisis de contenido de tipo comparado.
En la primera sección, se revisan los fundamentos normativos establecidos por la Convención de las Naciones Unidas contra la Delincuencia Organizada Transnacional (UNTOC), subrayando su importancia en la configuración de políticas globales. Posteriormente, se analiza el marco jurídico argentino, enfocándose en el delito de “asociación ilícita”, y se compara con las definiciones y principios de la UNTOC. Este análisis revela tanto congruencias como divergencias en la conceptualización de la delincuencia organizada. Además, se examina el proyecto de Ley Antimafia en Argentina, evaluando su eficacia potencial en fortalecer el marco jurídico para combatir la delincuencia organizada.
Los resultados reflejan los esfuerzos del Estado argentino por adoptar un concepto más eficiente en términos político-criminales que el de asociación ilícita, alineándose con las normativas internacionales.

Authors: Okinda Cedric , Liu Longhen , Zhang Guangyue , Shen* Mingxia
Published: November 2024

Swine live weight is an important aspect in the production of pork products and also to Stockmen, with reference to market costs, feed conversion, and animal health. The objective of this study was to develop a contactless, stress-free method of swine live weight estimation by machine vision technology. This novel approach was based on image processing for features extraction and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) for modelling. Firstly, the model determines which input combination holds the highest predictive ability, secondly, used the feature combination with the best predictive power to correlate to live-weight. The test results showed that the average relative error of our proposed system was about 3% and a standard deviation of 0.7%. Thus, development of a practical imaging system for swine live weight estimation by the proposed method is feasible.
Nutrient uptake of hybrid okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench] under drip fertigation
Authors: Venkadeswaran*1 E. , Sundaram V.
Published: November 2024

An experiment was conducted to compare the effect of conventional fertilisers and water soluble fertilisers at varying frequency interval of application on nutrient uptake of hybrid okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench]. The experiment was laid out in a Randomised block design with two control involving ten treatments in a factorial way and was replicated thrice. The plot receiving daily fertigation of water soluble fertilisers (S1F1) had recorded the highest fruit N, P and K uptake (53.66, 9.19 and 30.14 kg ha-1 of N, P and K respectively) followed by daily fertigation of conventional fertilisers (51.45, 8.85 and 29.40 kg ha-1 of N, P and K respectively). However they were found to be at par. The plant uptake of N, P and K was also found to be higher in the treatment receiving water soluble fertilisers on daily basis (21.94, 5.29 and 15.21 kg ha-1 of N, P and K respectively). Daily fertigation of conventional fertilisers (20.82, 5.04 and 14.66 kg ha-1 of N, P and K respectively) was the next best treatment and it was not found to differ significantly from S1F1. The lowest post harvest available N, P and K recorded in plots receiving daily fertigation using water soluble fertilisers (47.27, 30.18 and 340.67 kg ha-1 of N, P and K respectively) was found comparable to daily fertigation of conventional fertilisers (48.08, 30.75 and 341.67 kg ha-1 of N, P and K respectively). The maximum post harvest available soil N, P and K was recorded in control wherein the entire recommended fertilisers were applied in soil.
EVALUATING THE MULTIFACETED ADVANTAGES OF LEAN PROJECT MANAGEMENT IN SMES: A QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS
Authors: Said Hassanah , Aktaş Burak Nedim
Published: November 2024

This study explores and evaluate multifaceted benefits of lean project management (LPM) in small and medium enterprises from various industry. The 11 corresponding participants were interviewed utilizing semi-structure forms; their responses were interpreted at the mezzo level with MAXQDA 2020 software. The findings revealed that cost reductions are achieved in the use of LPM due to the elimination of features that adhere to the processes and time-to developments. By reducing costs significantly, on account of detailed budget and forecasting, morale is stimulated and surged in the team, which operates on optimal operational efficiency. Lean principles help SMEs deal with unexpectedly challenging times by designing efficient processes, streamlining communication, and aligning their strategic visions to ensure sustainable growth and innovation. Furthermore, effective communication and stakeholder relationship-building contribute to the project's success. It also reveals that gender has some major differences of opinion, wherein females were more cost-saving and resource allocation-oriented while males were cost-benefit ratio-oriented. The study's limitations are a small sample size and the qualitative nature of the data, but key findings still emphasize cost efficiency and financial optimization drivers in SMEs' successful performance through tailored project management.
Examining the Correlation between Parental Expectations and Parental Participation: A Meta-Analysis
Authors: Solichah Novia , Fardana Nur Ainy , Samian Samian , Muhid Abdul
Published: November 2024

Parental expectations play a role in shaping parental involvement, potentially leading to positive outcomes for children. Despite the importance of these factors, research on parental expectations and involvement has been limited in the past two decades. Therefore, this study aims to explore the connection between parental expectations and involvement through a meta-analysis. Following the PRISMA guidelines, we conducted a thorough analysis of existing literature. Employing a meta-analytical approach, data were collected from ten reputable international journal databases, including Scopus, SAGE, Emerald, Web of Science, Proquest, PubMed, Taylor and Francis, Google Scholar, Springer, and Science Direct. The inclusion criteria focused on research centered on parental expectations and parental involvement, resulting in eight articles included in our final analysis. The evaluation of quality employed the Appraisal Tool for Cross-Sectional Studies (AXIS) to gauge bias risk. Results indicate a noteworthy correlation between parental expectations and involvement (r=0.209, p0.001), implying that higher parental expectations correlate with greater parental involvement and vice versa. Moreover, our analysis revealed high heterogeneity (I2 = 96.44%) among the studies, indicating substantial variability. Additionally, the bias assessment (p = 0.048) indicated evidence of publication bias across the studies. Future research opportunities lie in developing studies that delve into the association between parental expectation and parental involvement, examining how this relationship functions independently from other variables in specific contexts such as student achievements or early literacy.
ERÇEK MAĞARASININ (ZONGULDAK) JEOTURİZME AÇILMA POTANSİYELİNİN SWOT-AHP YÖNTEMİ İLE DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ

Published: November 2024

Günümüzde giderek önem kazanan jeoturizm, doğal oluşumların değerlendirilmesi, turizm ve kültürel etkileşime katkı sunulması, yöre halkına gelir ve istihdam sağlanması ve kırsal alanlarda fiziki altyapının geliştirilmesine destek olmakla birlikte, doğal ve kültürel varlıkların korunmasını da temin etmektedir. Zonguldak, coğrafi koşulları, litolojik özellikleri, tektonik yapısı ve iklimi nedeniyle birçok mağaraya ev sahipliği yapmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Zonguldak ilinde yer alan Erçek Mağarasının jeoturizme kazandırılabilmesi stratejisine SWOT analizi ve SWOT-AHP yöntemi kullanılarak karar verilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yapılan SWOT-AHP Analizi ile Erçek Mağarasının jeoturizme açılma potansiyelinin, güçlü ve zayıf yönleri ile gelecekte ne tür fırsat ve tehditler oluşabileceği belirlenmeye çalışılmış, SWOT analizinde üzerinde durulan zayıf yönler ve tehditler için çözüm önerileri üretilmiştir. Yapılan bu çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçlar dikkate alındığında, Erçek Mağarasının jeoturizme açılmasının diğer yönleriyle kıyaslandığında güçlü yönlerinin daha fazla öncelik taşıdığı görülmektedir. Fırsatlar ise ikinci sırada gelmektedir. Ayrıca, mağaranın jeoturizme açılmasının zayıf yönleri ve tehditleri, önem bakımından biraz daha geri planda çıkmıştır. Bu bağlamda, Erçek Mağarasının alternatif turizm bakımından büyük bir potansiyel varlığına sahip olduğunu ve bu potansiyelin değerlendirilmesiyle de değerli bir turistik cazibe merkezi haline gelebileceğini söylemek mümkündür. Ayrıca, Erçek Mağarasının jeoturizm potansiyelinin olabilmesi için izlenmesi gereken stratejiler; mağaranın ziyarete açılması ve ilerlemeye kapalı alanların açılmasına yönelik çalışmaların yapılması ile ziyarete açılamayan ve amatör mağaracılar ve yerbilimcilerin kullanabileceği kısımların eğitim ve spor amaçlı olarak değerlendirilmesi olarak tespit edilmiştir.

Published: November 2024

Sosyal bilgiler dersi, doğal afet öğretimi açısından önemli derslerden biri olarak görülmektedir. Bu araştırmanın amacı, sosyal bilgiler dersi öğretim programlarını tarihsel bağlam içinde, doğal afet kavramı açısından incelemektir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden doküman analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada, 1968 İlkokul Programı (Sosyal Bilgiler Dersi Programı), 1998 Sosyal Bilgiler Dersi Programı, 2005 Sosyal Bilgiler Dersi Programı, 2018 Sosyal Bilgiler Dersi Programı ve Güncellenmiş 2023 Sosyal Bilgiler Dersi Öğretim Programı araştırma materyali olarak kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın materyalleri betimsel analiz tekniğiyle analiz edilmiştir. Betimsel analiz tekniği kapsamında, materyaller incelenmeden önce doğal afet kavramı ile ilişkili olabilecek doğrudan kavramlar ve dolaylı kavramlar belirlenmiştir. Bu iki kategori doğrultusunda; doğal afetler, deprem, deprem çantası, sel, çığ, toprak kayması, erozyon, orman yangını, ormanların korunması, binadan tahliye, tahliye çantası ve sığınak doğal afetlerle doğrudan ilişkili kavramlar olarak belirlenmiştir. Doğal çevre, doğal çevreye duyarlılık, dayanışma, yardımlaşma, toplumsal güç birliği, salgın hastalıklar, çevre sorunları ve küresel sorunlar ise dolaylı kavramlar olarak belirlenmiştir. İki kategori üzerinde yapılan analiz sonucunda, doğal afetlere daha az yer veren öğretim programının 1968 Sosyal Bilgiler Dersi Öğretim Programı olduğu saptanmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, özellikle Türkiye’de yaşanan depremler sonucunda, doğal afetlerin öneminin günden güne arttığı görülürken bu durumun da 2018 Sosyal Bilgiler Öğretim Programı dışında, sosyal bilgiler programlarına artarak yansıtıldığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Published: November 2024

Bu çalışmanın amacı, John L. Austin ve John Searle tarafından geliştirilen Söz Edim Kuramı’nın ışığında, ortaokul öğrencilerinin konuşmalarındaki gerekçelendirme söz ediminin farklı bağlamlarda kullanımını ve sözcelerdeki gerekçelendirme bağlayıcılarının görünümlerini belirlemektir. Çalışma betimsel modelde yapılan nitel bir çalışmadır. Veriler 7.sınıf öğrencilerinden ses kaydı alınarak toplanmıştır. Araştırmacı, çalışmada katılımsız gözlemci olarak yer almıştır. Elde edilen veriler önce deşifre edilerek yazıya aktarılmış, ardından içerik analizi yoluyla çözümlenmiştir. Öğrencilerin hangi niyetlerle gerekçelendirme söz edimini kullandıkları ve bu söz edimlerini kullanırken hangi bağlayıcılarla ilişkilendirdiklerini tespit edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgulara göre öğrencilerin tamamı gerekçelendirme söz edimini kullanmıştır. Tüm öğrencilerin gerekçelendirme söz edimini kullanmalarına rağmen öğrenciler arasında kullanım sıklığı farlılık göstermektedir. Kullanılan söz edimlerinin kullanım niyetleri çeşitlilik göstermektedir. Konuşmacıların gerekçelendirme söz edimlerinin kullanım niyetlerine bakıldığında da kullanım çeşitliliğine göre savunma, açıklama, empati ile anlayış, mantığa dayandırma, teşekkür etme, eleştirme, ikna ve uyarma amaçları güdüldüğü görülmektedir. Bununla birlikte gerekçelendirme söz edimleri kullanılırken bazı bağlayıcılardan yararlanılmıştır. Konuşmacılar, nadiren de herhangi bir bağlayıcıyla ilişkilendirmeden gerekçelendirme söz edimini kullanmışlardır.
Pursuing the Idea of World-Class Universities in Korea: Faculty and Administrator Perspectives
Authors:   Korean Comparative Education Society, Kim Dongbin , Jon Jae-Eun , Byun Kiyong , Leslie Gonzales Leslie Gonzales
Published: November 2024

[Purpose] Recognizing the significant role of higher education in today's knowledge economy, many countries have aggressively participated in building world-class universities. The purpose of this study is to understand how local actors, namely faculty and administrators, made sense of and defined the idea and pursuit of WCUs in the context of non-Western countries, Korea. We used the concept of glonacal heuristic to consider three dimensions of higher education activities—global, national, and local (Marginson & Rhoades, 2002) in Korean higher education.
[Methods] We conducted interviews with 22 faculty and university administrators from three top universities in Korea.
[Results] Findings showed that faculty and administrators defined the WCU idea differently, despite drawing upon the same sources of global ideas, national policy context, and local matters. Their definition either emphasized the global and national or were rather mediated by the local. We also found tensions between faculty in STEM fields and those in non-STEM fields, in conforming to the WCU efforts.
[Conclusion] Based on these findings, we discussed theoretical and practical implications.
Arbeitssuchverhalten, Selbstfürsorge und psychische Gesundheit langzeitarbeitsloser Menschen – eine quantitative Evaluation des Projekts INGE
Authors:   , Monath Belmont Samuel Max
Published: November 2024

Die negativen Folgen von Arbeitslosigkeit machen effektive Interventionen zur Unterstützung langzeitarbeitsloser Menschen nötig. Ein Pilotprojekt für diese Zielgruppe ist das Projekt INGE in Bamberg, das in der vorliegenden Studie quantitativ formativ evaluiert wird. In einer konfirmatorischen Fragebogenstudie wurden 37 Projektteilnehmende mit einer Kontrollgruppe von 25 Personen verglichen, um zu prüfen, inwieweit die Intervention Arbeitssuchverhalten, Selbstfürsorge und psychische Gesundheit fördert. Zusätzlich wurden mögliche Mediator- und Moderatorvariablen untersucht. Die Ergebnisse zeigen signifikante positive Effekte der Projektteilnahme auf die Selbstfürsorge und die psychische Gesundheit, jedoch keinen Effekt auf das Arbeitssuchverhalten. Es gibt eingeschränkte Hinweise darauf, dass Neurotizismus den Zusammenhang zwischen Projektteilnahme und psychischer Gesundheit moderieren könnte. Der Zusammenhang zwischen Projektteilnahme und Arbeitssuchverhalten wurde nicht durch berufliche Selbstwirksamkeit mediiert. Die Befunde tragen zum Erkenntnisfortschritt zu wirksamen Interventionen für langzeitarbeitslose Menschen bei und geben Anregungen zur Weiterentwicklung des Projekts.

Putting Ambiguity to Work: Biodiversity and Rules of Engagement for Vagueness in Science
Authors: Pence Charles
Published: November 2024

‘Biodiversity’ is widely recognized as an extremely ambiguous concept in conservation science and ecology. It is defined in a number of different and incompatible ways in the scientific literature, and is also “exported” beyond the scientific community, where it may take on a host of other meanings for governments, policy-makers, non-governmental organizations, and the general public at large. One might respond to this ambiguity by either pushing for its clarification, and by extension the adoption of a single, univocal biodiversity concept, or by rejecting the term entirely, replacing it with a relevant, more precise concept in each context. In this paper, I argue for a third approach. Drawing on literature describing change in large organizations, I explore ways in which ambiguity might be seen as productive – as a manner, at the very least, in which we can enable action by a mixed coalition of actors with different and, at times, contradictory interests and value commitments. I explore how this literature – in particular, a taxonomy of rhetorical uses of ambiguous concepts – could enable us to put the ambiguity of biodiversity to work for us, offering us a way to intervene in conflicts about the concept by helping to develop both clearer descriptive analyses and normative “rules for engagement” in debates surrounding biodiversity.
Les implications épistémiques de la "vagueness" du hasard et de la "non-vagueness" de l'aléatoire
Authors: Escudero Mathilde
Published: November 2024

Dans cet article je propose la double-thèse :

du caractère « vague » (tel que défini dans la littérature logico-sémantique contemporaine) de la notion de hasard (chance) par opposition au caractère « non-vague » de celle d’aléatoire (randomness) ;
du lien entre la vagueness et le pouvoir explicatif du hasard et la non-vagueness et la capacité descriptive de l’aléatoire, lequel plaide en faveur d’usages distincts de ces deux notions.

Pour défendre la première thèse, j’ai recours aux définitions des notions de hasard et d’aléatoire et à un exemple de l’histoire des sciences (la théorie du chaos). Pour appuyer la seconde, je fais appel à des exemples scientifiques : la variation dans la théorie darwinienne de l’évolution, la mutation génétique dans la synthèse moderne et la dérive génétique dans la théorie neutraliste de l’évolution.
Hyperkalemia Diagnosis and Management for a Total AV Block Patient with a Pseudo-STEMI Infarction Pattern: A Case Report
Authors: Sofi Sofi Aliyatul Himah , Perdana Hidayanto
Published: November 2024

Highlights:
1. A surprising finding in which manifestation of hyperkalemia depends on potassium levels and comorbidities.
2. The manifestation as ST elevation and total AV block are considered rare cases, which is why this article is very interesting to read.
-
Background:
Hyperkalemia is an electrolytic disorder that is often encountered in hospitals and may be life-threatening. The ECG abnormalities that occur vary from tall T to deadly arrhythmia. ST segment elevation is rarely encountered and may be confused for the alternative diagnosis of myocardial infarction.
Case Summary: The patient is a 53 year-old male with total AV block with an ECG pseudo-STEMI infarction pattern. Initial diagnosis was acute myocardial infarction; it was then known that the patient suffered from chronic kidney disease with hyperkalemia. The patient recovered after obtaining hyperkalemia therapy.
Conclusion: In summary, hyperkalemia manifestation on ECG depends on potassium levels and comorbidities. Manifestation as ST segment elevation and total AV block are rare case, prompt diagnosis and right treatment may reduce the mortality.
