Published: April 2024

Welding is a manufacturing process that aims to create a permanent joint between two components using parameters such as heat, pressure, or energy. It is currently one of the most widely used processes in industry and there are no concerns about the safety of the products produced. Welding gases are responsible for the protection of the weld pool and the stability of the electric arc, which directly affects the quality and final properties of the weld. The aim of this study was to evaluate the current conditions of the welding process in a large company in the Manaus Industrial Pole (PIM), Amazonas-Brazil, in order to find the best ratio of shielding gases for MIG/MAG welding, with the aim of and optimizing the processes. Mechanical tensile and microhardness tests were carried out, based on JIS, ASTM and internal company standards, to evaluate the conditions and properties of the samples with the current shielding gas ratios used in the company, in order to find those that best match the reality of the processes.

Keywords: Shielding gases; MIG/MAG welding; Mechanical properties of the weld.
Salud mental y vulnerabilidad social: el caso de las mujeres que viven en la calle en Buenos Aires, Argentina
Authors: Rousseaux Andrés
Published: April 2024

Introducción: El propósito de esta investigación es investigar la posible relación existente entre la situación de calle y la patología mental en una población de mujeres alojadas en un Centro de Inclusión Social de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, Argentina. Podría existir un sesgo clínico que caracteriza la situación de calle como consecuencia de un padecimiento psíquico. Metodología: Se estudió durante 10 meses (enero 2022 a octubre 2022) a un grupo de mujeres entre 18 y 65 años de edad, asistidas socialmente en el Centro de Inclusión Social para mujeres solas o con hijos menores de edad “Azucena Villaflor” de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, quienes a su vez consultan o hayan consultado en el pasado por su salud mental en forma previa o posterior a su situación de calle. Se practicó un estudio cuantitativo observacional, descriptivo y transversal, relevando datos primarios mediante entrevistas semiestructuradas, complementado la investigación con un enfoque cualitativo utilizando el método narrativo mediante entrevistas en profundidad. Conclusión: No existe una relación unicausal entre tener un padecimiento mental y estar en situación calle; la búsqueda laboral, forma de reingreso al sistema productivo, es sumamente dificultosa, por el mercado mismo, no por el estado psíquico de las usuarias. No obstante, la búsqueda infructuosa genera situaciones de frustración que dado el contexto de vulnerabilidad en el que se encuentran pueden llevar a las consultas en salud mental.
The newest aspect of industrial espionage : Cyber threats from UAVs to non-state actors
Authors: Horváth Illés
Published: April 2024

The crime of industrial espionage to obtain trade secrets is as old as the dawn of commerce. With the development of modern technology, the techniques for obtaining secrets, or in modern terms, data, have been constantly evolving. With the advent of drones on the market, physical and cyber-attacks against critical infrastructure and non-state actors have increased significantly. The relative ease of modification of UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) has led to the emergence of spy vehicles capable of acquiring sensitive data without the ground controller entering the area. Critical infrastructure is protected at the state level, with military and/or national security at the global level, but non-state actors are vulnerable to attack. The aim of this paper is to show how non-state actors are affected by the threat and what options they have to defend themselves. Whether EEA countries are threatened by this form of espionage.

Authors: Regis Rafaella Cavalcante , Miranda Ana Carolina Braga , Bernardo Letícia Hellen de Castro , Irineu Magna Bocage , Sousa Lobo Cândido Jorge de , Nogueira Ricardo Emílio Ferreira Quevedo
Published: April 2024

A indústria de rochas ornamentais registra intenso crescimento ao longo dos anos, no entanto, vem acompanhado da geração de detritos resultante do processamento do material rochoso, impulsionando assim, o interesse e necessidade de minimizar os impactos ambientais causados e propor a empregabilidade a estes rejeitos. O objetivo desta pesquisa é avaliar a viabilidade tecnológica dos subprodutos provenientes do granito Corumbá como insumo para fabricação de peças cerâmicas, por meio da investigação de suas propriedades físicas. A caracterização química e mineralógica do pó do granito foi realizada através da fluorescência de raios X e difração de raios X. Os corpos de prova foram compactados em diferentes cargas (20 kN, 40 kN, 60 kN e 80kN) e queimados às temperaturas de 1130°C e 1150°C. As peças cerâmicas foram investigadas quanto à retração linear, absorção de água, densidade específica aparente e porosidade. Os resultados permitiram concluir que a 1130ºC a sinterização demonstrou-se insuficiente, sendo necessária maior carga de compactação para redução da porosidade. A sinterização a 1150°C foi marcada por uma curva de gresificação exibindo baixa absorção de água e alta retração linear. Quanto à porosidade, a 1130ºC as amostras necessitaram de maior carga de compactação para ocorrer à diminuição de vazios e, a 1150°C, não houve variação estatisticamente significativa, o que sugere que as peças atingiram a saturação de compactação e que a porosidade independe da pressão de compactação, sendo esta vinculada à temperatura no qual foram sinterizados. Estas peças cerâmicas apresentam potencial de aplicabilidade na indústria da construção civil, como por exemplo, revestimentos cerâmicos.
Explorando as conexões entre o ensino de geografia, a perspectiva da educação cts e a pedagogia de Paulo Freire
Authors: Grzebieluka Douglas , Silveira Rosemari Monteiro Castilho Foggiatto
Published: April 2024

O ensino de Geografia é de fundamental importância para a formação do cidadão. As competências deste componente curricular enfatizam a análise crítica e reflexiva dos processos políticos, econômicos, sociais, ambientais, culturais e as relações do homem com a natureza nos diferentes momentos da história e nas diferentes escalas geográficas. Essas competências sintetizam a importância da Geografia como ferramenta para a formação de cidadãos críticos, conscientes e ativos no meio onde vivem. Remetem ao pensamento de que o aluno deve ser capaz de construir uma compreensão do espaço geográfico, da relação do ser humano com o trabalho, da interação espaço, tempo e meio, dentre outros aspectos que contribuam para a formação do cidadão.  Ciência, Tecnologia e Sociedade (CTS) são mais do que termos técnicos; juntos, esses elementos integram a tríade da perspectiva da educação CTS, a qual se apresenta com potencial ativista e transformador. A perspectiva da educação CTS objetiva a mudança de uma educação tecnocrata, focada apenas em funções motoras do mundo do trabalho e desconexa da realidade, para uma educação mais libertadora, libertária e histórico-crítica conforme prevê a pedagogia do educador Paulo Freire. Neste sentido o objetivo geral da pesquisa foi identificar possíveis conexões entre ensino de Geografia, a perspectiva da educação CTS e a pedagogia freiriana. A partir da pesquisa bibliográfica e qualitativa, foi possível perceber que os autores apresentados dialogam com um ensino de Geografia que se pretende enquanto freiriano, mas que ainda luta por melhorias na forma de se ensinar esse saber. Além disso, percebe-se a associação entre a perspectiva da educação CTS com o ensino de Geografia, destacando que a ação docente deve oportunizar o potencial crítico e reflexivo, assim como analítico dos alunos.

The real estate growth hypothesis in tourism destinations
Authors: Perles-Ribes José , Ramón Rodríguez Ana , Torregrosa Teresa , Sevilla Jiménez Martín
Published: April 2024

This article proposes and theoretically develops the Real Estate Growth Hypothesis concept. It empirically investigates the connection between the expansion of tourism and the progress of real estate in Calp, an established tourist hotspot situated on the Mediterranean coast of Spain. Using annual data for the period 1967-2019 and a time series methodology that considers the possible nonlinearity of the relationship, the article draws conclusions from local and long-term perspectives. The results indicate that tourism causes real estate development, but only in the case of positive shocks. In view of this result, practical implications are outlined, and suggestions are made for managing tourist destinations.
Urban tourists' receptivity to ecogamification: A technology, environment, and entertainment-based typology
Authors: Souza Viviane , Marques Susana
Published: April 2024

This research explores the relationship between technology, entertainment, and the environment to understand urban tourists’ receptivity to ecogamified transport and mobility apps. Rather than providing conclusive solutions, this study follows an exploratory approach to establish relevant grounds for tourist clusters regarding their potential receptivity to ecogamification, an area that is still under explored. This study follows a segmentation approach, using a self-administered online questionnaire. The data, stemming from 572 adult respondents who have travelled to urban destinations in the past 3 years, were analysed through a combination of non-hierarchical and hierarchical cluster analyses. The results reveal four clusters of urban tourists with different types of potential receptivity to ecogamification: “Mobi Wholeheartedly”; “Mobi Whatever”; “Mobi Profiter”; and “Mobi Utilitarian”. This study adds to current research by adopting new segmentation approaches and more open assumptions concerning the potential receptivity to (eco)gamification. It also provides fresh evidence regarding tourist receptivity typologies and the existence of differences (and overlaps) among these types of tourists. It explores how that receptivity might occur based on the intersection between technology, entertainment and the environment. It examines the implications of tourist segments in ecogamification strategies, providing overall useful insights to destination management organizations, destination marketers and game designers.
Whistleblowing in the travel industry: A research in the context of idealism and affective commitment
Authors: Güven Selda , Şahin Bayram
Published: April 2024

Whistleblowing is a topic that rarely garners attention in tourism, particularly within the travel industry. This research, delves into external whistleblowing in relation to idealism and affective organizational commitment. The study aims to examine how affective commitment and idealism influence the attitudes of travel agency employees towards external whistleblowing. Employing a quantitative approach, the study investigated these variables using data from 433 travel agency employees in Turkey. The findings indicate that these employees hold unfavourable opinions regarding external whistleblowing. Affective commitment and idealism are demonstrated to significantly impact attitudes towards external whistleblowing. Moreover, the data suggests that idealism does not moderate the correlation between affective commitment and external whistleblowing. This research represents one of the initial inquiries into whistleblowing within the travel industry. Typically, the effectiveness of organisational behaviours, such as affective commitment and external whistleblowing, may depend on the structural aspects of entrepreneurship, as well as the costs and benefits of such actions, rather than solely on the ethical orientation of individuals. The perception and reporting of unethical practices are heavily influenced by community culture, and Turkish culture, in particular, tends to foster a negative mindset towards reporting unethical behaviour externally.
The moderating effect of seasonality in the hotel industry. Does market concentration favour tacit collusion?
Authors: Aznar Pedro
Published: April 2024

Market concentration is associated with higher prices. However, previous research has not considered whether the market concentration effect on prices is moderated by seasonality in markets where firms switch from peak demand to low demand periods. This study analyzes market concentration effect on prices and price variability in the hotel industry. Through hedonic price models, the paper analyzes the influence of market concentration on hotel prices and how quality, distance to the city center or seasonality influence hotel prices. A higher market concentration is associated with higher prices. The effect of market concentration on prices is 1.7 times higher in the peak demand season than in the low demand season. Price variability between hotels for a given day in a particular market is partially explained by differences in service quality among hotels in the same city but also by the level of market concentration. We find that higher market concentration reduces price variability, a result consistent with the existence of tacit collusion.
Bidding for the Olympic Games: An Anatomy of Arguments
Authors: Booth Douglas
Published: April 2024

In this article, I draw on the philosopher of history Hayden White's typology of arguments to explain different accounts of bidding for the olympic games. White's typology helps explain the irreconcilable disconnect between representations of bidding for and hosting the olympic games put forward by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and its academic supporters in olympic education, on the one hand, and their critics, on the other. While I advocate for contextual-based arguments as the most appropriate for understanding bidding at different points in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, I conclude with an irony: the IOC's representations of bidding and hosting, which are based on organicist arguments presented in romantic and idealized narratives, continue to resonate better with a broad audience than fact-laden and eloquent contextualist arguments.

Authors: Handa D. , Jaggi Seema , Gill A. , Singh N.
Published: April 2024

The method of ‘path coefficients’ has been used for analyzing correlation coefficients between yield of Wheat and its other biometrical characters under four different tree species. This technique helps in establishing the relative importance of various biometrical characters of Wheat, viz. plant population, plant height, number of tillers per plant, grain weight per earhead, and number of effective tillers as determiners of Wheat yield under different Multipurpose Tree Species (MPTs) in agroforestry system. It is observed from the correlation components that number of tillers and number of effective tillers exerted a greatest influence both directly and indirectly upon the yield of Wheat crop under all the four tree species.

Zastosowanie chromatografii gazowej do oznaczania 1,4-dioksanu w powietrzu na stanowiskach pracy
Authors: Kondej Dorota
Published: April 2024

1,4-Dioxane is a volatile liquid with a weak odor that dissolves well in water and most organic solvents. As a flammable liquid it poses a fire hazard. 1,4-Dioxane is unstable at increased temperature and pressure and can form explosive mixtures. It is mainly used as a solvent in the production of other chemicals, as a solvent for printing inks, coatings and adhesives, and as a laboratory reagent. According to the Regulation of the European Parliament and the Council (WE 1272/2008), 1,4-dioxane is classified as a carcinogen, flammable, eye and respiratory irritant. This article presents a method for the determination of 1,4-dioxane in workplace air, revised due to a proposed change in the maximum allowable concentration (MAC) value for this substance. The method involves adsorption of 1,4-dioxane on activated carbon, desorption with a mixture of propan-2-ol and carbon disulfide, and chromatographic analysis (GC-FID) of the resulting solution. The method allows for the determination of 1,4-dioxane in the concentration range of 2.2 to 44 mg/m3 (MAC 22 mg/m3 ) or 0.73 to 14.6 mg/m3 (MAC 7.3 mg/m3 ), i.e. 1/10 to 2 of the proposed value of the maximum allowable concentration. The method has been validated in accordance with PN-EN 482. This article discusses the problems of occupational safety and health, which are covered by health sciences and environmental engineering.
Contextualizing Canonical Inclusion: The Case of Early Modern English Female-Authored Non-Canonical Verse
Authors: Al-Shara'h Mais , Allawzi Areej , Amireh Haneen , Al-Shara’h Arene
Published: April 2024

The Early Modern English female-authored text is recently (to be specific since 2000s) introduced to the English literary canons as supplementary material to anthologized literary lists such as the Norton Anthology of English Literature. This recent shift in their inclusion is argued as insufficient to the abundantly abandoned English female-authored publications printed between 1450s until the early 1700s. The process of their inclusion in the literary anthologies of the English Renaissance is seen as integral towards building an equitable representation of this age. Offering an equitable inclusion of women’s literature in this era is the aim of this study. This paper will first offer an in-depth contextualization to the canonization of female-authored texts with focus mainly on their exclusion from literary canons. Then, the study offers methodized canonized inclusions of Early Modern female-authored texts. In conclusion, the paper provides a detailed sample of a course plan that aims at the inclusion of female-authors during this era in a general mandatory course (for undergraduate students at the School of Foreign Languages at the University of Jordan) titled “English Literature from the Beginning until 1660s.” This course plan has been prepared and revised by the researchers from the years 2019-2023 to ensure sampling the inclusion of female-authored texts in this survey course.
Going the Extra Mile: Improving Linguistic Quality in Translation
Authors: Vaz Christopher
Published: April 2024

In this century, the rise in mother-tongue speaker driven projects has led to the downplaying of the importance of linguistics. Many projects operate on the assumption that linguistic training is unnecessary for mother-tongue translators. There is documented evidence though that many translators are strongly influenced by a high prestige source text while drafting. In South Asia at least, a large number of organizations are doing translation, and not all of them value linguistic training. I contend that a more realistic solution is to have translation consultants pick up the slack by looking for language-related issues in the draft. In my research, I examined renderings of NT passages in eight South Asian language projects covering different language families. Of the 82 consultant note subcategories taught in training workshops, I restricted my review to 24 that deal especially with linguistic issues. The results show that the reviewing consultants detected only 3% – 20% of the issues that I found. I demonstrate tools for consultants to examine the actual draft even if they do not know the language. I also discovered that many potential errors are influenced by the forms of the classical regional language versions used as model texts. The issues discovered affect quality in two ways: naturalness and pragmatic accuracy. Looking for these potential errors is worth the extra time and effort on the part of the consultants, who can be easily trained for this enhanced review process.

Published: April 2024

This research studies Australian travellers’ satisfaction with traditional accommodations in Invercargill, New Zealand and the aim is to explore Australian travellers’ satisfaction with traditional accommodations in this city. This descriptive research uses content analysis based on 256 online reviews gathered from online travel platforms and analysed using quantitative and qualitative methods. The research results distinguish that Australian travellers in Invercargill were mostly couples who stayed two days or less in motels and hotels. The quantitative results indicate that most Australian travellers gave moderate satisfaction ratings, with no significant differences across different accommodation types and traveller categories. The qualitative analysis revealed that Australian travellers generally expressed satisfaction with room, service, and accommodation characteristics but identified areas for improvement, including indoor environment, bathroom, soundproofing, service quality, and certain aspects of accommodation characteristics. The study recommends that managers of traditional accommodations should make improvements based on negative feedback from Australian travellers.

Published: April 2024

Introdução: A pandemia de Covid-19 fez com que muitas instituições de ensino ajustassem os métodos de ensino, adotando o ensino remoto e posteriormente o ensino híbrido. Essa reconfiguração do ensino mostrou-se desafiadora sobretudo para o curso de Enfermagem, o qual apresenta uma interação insubstituível de conhecimentos teóricos com a prática. Objetivo: discutir sobre o processo de formação na graduação de Enfermagem em uma universidade pública no Brasil durante o período da pandemia da COVID-19, sob a ótica de discentes. Método: trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa de abordagem sociopoética realizada com 8 alunas da graduação em Enfermagem de uma Universidade Federal, que tiveram a adoção de um modelo de ensino emergencial no período da pandemia da covid-19. A produção de dados se deu em dois encontros remotos com a experimentação sociopoética nomeada “Sabores da Vida” onde os participantes fizeram analogia de sabores com o processo de formação. Resultados: foram elaborados pelas participantes três confetos - conceitos com afetos: “Morango da Formação”, “Aprendizado meio Amargo” e “PF com Amor”. Esses confetos ilustram, respectivamente, as vivências relatadas pelos graduandos de enfermagem durante o ensino emergencial adotado na pandemia da covid-19, dentre elas, atividades enriquecedoras e saborosas, mas que sofreram adaptações como atividades extracurriculares tais como iniciação científica, evento científico e estágio. Assim como vivências pouco saborosas como distanciamento físico e o convívio algumas vezes conflitante com docentes e profissionais da saúde durante o ensino teórico prático. Conclusão: O estudo reforçou a importância do ensino no formato totalmente presencial e revelou que o tempero essencial para garantir uma boa formação é o amor e empatia dos professores para com os alunos.

An Empirical Study on Motivating and Inhibiting Factors for Adoption of E-Vehicles Compared to Fuel Based Vehicles in Region of Gujarat
Authors:   MBA Student, Parul University, Vadodara Gujarat, Wala Mahir
Published: April 2024

This empirical study aims to investigate the motivating and inhibiting factors influencing the adoption of electric vehicles (E-Vehicles) compared to traditional fuel-based vehicles in the region of Gujarat. The shift towards sustainable transportation is essential to mitigate the adverse environmental impacts of fossil fuels and reduce carbon emissions. The study is driven by the growing global awareness of the need for green technologies and the urgency to combat climate change. The motivating factors for adopting E-Vehicles include environmental concerns, potential cost savings on fuel, government subsidies and incentives, technological advancements, and the desire to be early adopters of innovative transportation solutions. On the other hand, inhibiting factors may include the high upfront cost of E-Vehicles, limited charging infrastructure, range anxiety, lack of awareness about E-Vehicles, and concerns regarding battery life and maintenance. Gujarat, known for its rapid industrial growth and progressive policies, serves as an ideal location to study the transition to E-Vehicles. The region's unique geographical and economic characteristics present both challenges and opportunities for the adoption of electric mobility. By understanding the specific factors that drive or hinder the adoption of E-Vehicles in Gujarat, policymakers, industry stakeholders, and consumers can develop strategies to accelerate the transition towards sustainable transportation. The study will employ a mixed-methods approach, combining surveys, interviews, and data analysis to gather comprehensive insights into the factors influencing the adoption of E-Vehicles in Gujarat. The findings of this study are expected to provide valuable information for designing targeted interventions, policy recommendations, and awareness campaigns to promote the widespread adoption of E-Vehicles in the region. Ultimately, this research aims to contribute to the development of a cleaner and more sustainable transportation system in Gujarat, paving the way for a greener and healthier future for its residents.

After people died from infections during COVID- 19 epidemic, this attracted a lot of attention. COVID-19 causes symptoms such as fever, headache, sore throat, shortness of breath, and others. Many deaths are asymptomatic, which it makes the problem even bigger. Therefore, real-time system monitoring is needed. Monitoring will be carried out about measuring body temperature and oxygen saturation in patients. Monitoring body temperature is necessary because it can detect symptoms of COVID-19 in patients earlier. Monitoring system to be built uses ESP32 , DS18B20 sensor, and MAX30100 sensor. Data communication is used in exchange of information. This system is expected to reduce number of deaths due to COVID-19. DS18B20 sensor has a sensor accuracy of 99,73% and an average error of 0,27%. MAX30100 sensor has an accuracy rate of 99,18% and an average error of 0,82%. Delay test results show an average of 155,57 ms, and packet loss test results show an average of 0%. Result of system that has been tested said the both sensors can read well.

There has been an increasing interest in knowing the effects of urban space on the behavior of society and how it can be used proactively to influence specific behaviors. The field of research is relevant to various fields, including design, geography, urban planning, and human sciences. The result is an arrangement of various ideas, hypotheses, and techniques to see how urban space can improve societal behavior. Studies of urban spaces have become more accurate after the advent of the Syntax  Space theory and its various applications, which provided accurate mathematical numerical measurements of urban spaces' general characteristics. In this paper, the axes analysis relied upon using the Depth Maps program and the different measurements it produces to examine the properties of space to indicate positive behavior. The research problem crystallizes: Is there a possibility of measuring the structural properties of space? For the urban space of the proposed base plan for the city of Basra and to achieve the goal represented by the possibility of reaching a method for measuring the space characteristics of the study area (Basra city). Some characteristics (total integration, local interdependence, local control, and density) were highlighted, and the spatial (descriptive) data was interpreted using the Depth Maps program designed by Toner to analyze the spatial structure of the city and to know the validity of the space characteristics and their positive or negative impact on community behavior.

Technological progress and development and the automation of production processes have made the traditional approach to cost management incompatible with these developments and the administration's need for a complex mixture of quantitative information related to the objective measurement of costs, especially indirect ones, as well as non-quantitative information related to the customer, his needs and desires,  all of which reflected the need to move to an approach based on customer relationship management With a strategic dimension that takes into account the developments in the competitive environment, the current research aims to demonstrate the extent of the ability of cost technology to operate on the time-drive functions based cost as a strategic tool that is compatible with developments in the process of allocating indirect costs and the extent of its ability to provide financial and non-financial information on unutilized energy and jobs non-adding value with the aim of eliminating it by achieving a real reduction in product costs. The results of the statistical analysis indicated the highest mean (4.15), standard deviation (86%), and coefficient of variation (20.09) within the percentage weight of (73.33) that the agreement of the cost technique on the time-drive functions based cost and the strategic approach to cost management works to reallocate indirect costs based on the time vectors used to complete each function of the product,  providing information to the management of the economic unit about unused energy and non-value-adding functions in a way that achieves the possibility of reducing production costs without affecting the quality of the product and the customer's desires

Değişen Doğa Tasarımı ile Ahlâkî Söylemin Yeniden Kuruluşu Bağlamında Kant’ın Din(darlık) Tasavvuru
Authors: Elmas Mehmet Fatih , Çıvgın Ayşe Gül
Published: April 2024

Felsefe tarihi bir yönüyle filozofların Tanrı, Doğa ve İnsan arasında kurdukları ilişkilerin tarihidir. Yeni Çağ’da teleolojik fiziğin mekanik fizikle aşılması sonucunda bu üç kavram ve aralarındaki ilişkiler yeniden düzenlenerek, metafizik-etik alanın söylemi de yeniden kurgulanmıştır. Ahlâk alanına mevcut pek çok metafizik-etik sistemin ve dinlerin boyutlarını aşarak yaptığı felsefî müdahaleyle Immanuel Kant sadece aklı kullanma cesaretiyle ilâhî sayılan iyiliği insanî düzleme indirerek, hakikatin zeminini yeniden değiştirmiştir. Ahlâk alanını numenal düzeyde yeniden kurmaya çalışan Kant’ın bir ideal olarak insanın önüne koyduğu amaç, ona layık olabilmek için gösterilecek pratik çabayla ortaya çıkacağına duyulan inanç mesabesinde aklîdir. İnsan bu inanç doğrultusunda kendisini hep daha iyi bir varlığa dönüştürmek suretiyle en yüksek iyi’ye ulaşabileceğini umabilir. Bu umudun gerçekleşmesi için adil ve lütufkâr iradesiyle dünyanın mükemmel olan bir varlık tarafından düzenlendiği fikri haklılandırılabilirdir. Tanrı’nın ahlâkî davranışlar bakımından kabulü aynı zamanda dindar insanlar için bir zemin teşkil eder. Bu tasavvurda erdemli insan ile imanlı insan aynı kişidir. İyi olmak için Tanrı’nın bizim için yapacaklarına inanç beslemek yerine, O’nun bizim için yapacaklarına layık olmak için yapmak zorunda olduğumuz şeyleri yapmamız gerekir. Tanrı aynı zamanda kendilerini ahlâkî fâile dönüştürmeye çalışan kişiler arasında ortak yasalar altında/uğruna kurulan etik topluluğun kamusal yasakoyucusudur. Niyetlerini ahlâk yasasına tâbî kılarak kendini kötülük ile mücadeleye adayan ve güçlerini başkalarınınkiyle birleştirerek aklın sınırları dâhilinde bir din çatısı altında bir araya gelen insanların göstereceği sürekli çabaya bağlı olarak böyle bir toplumun gerçekleşebileceği umut edilebilirdir. Bu makale, tüm insanlığın ahlâken yetkinleşmesi ideali doğrultusunda müşterek bir amaç yaratmaya yönelik olması bakımından Kant’ın -doğumunun 300. yılında- umuduna hâlâ ihtiyaç olduğu kanaatini paylaşmaktadır.
