Capital Structure, Firm Performance and Risk Exposure: New Evidence from OECD Countries
Authors: Akhter Tanzina , Sultana Sabrin , Kalam Azad Abul
Published: December 2023

Optimal capital structure is a key tool to take advantage of the trade-offbetween firm performance and risk. Based on this, we examine how optimalcapital structure influences corporate performance and risk exposure.We use a strong-balanced panel of 3,344 firm-year observations from 10different OECDcountries for 2006–2016. Results reveal that firms havingshort-term debt normally experience high accounting-based performancewhile lowering market-based performance, firms using long-term and totaldebt are largely exposed to decreased accounting and market-based performance.The higher the long-term and total debt, the greater the chancesthat firms become vulnerable to insolvency risk. Findings are robust acrossalternative indicators of capital structure, firm performance and risk, alternativemodel development and the two-step system GMM estimator tocontrol endogeneity issues. This research will be of importance to firmmanagers and policymakers in designing an appropriate capital structurefor maximizing firm performance while minimizing debt-taking risks.
Is Climate Finance Helping Stabilise Food Prices in Sub-Saharan Africa?
Authors: Doku Isaac , Phiri Andrew
Published: December 2023

This study explores the potential impact of climate finance (cf) on foodprices in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) as climate change continues to createfood scarcity and increase food prices. The study analyses data from43 SSA countries between 2006 and 2018 using a panel fixed effect modelwith Driscoll-Kraay standard errors and methods of moments quantile regressions(MMQR). The findings indicate that countries in SSA that receivemore cf, improve their fight against corruption, have good rainfall patterns,experience reduced extreme temperatures, have depreciated currencies,larger populations and higher GDP growth, reduce food imports, increasedomestic food supply, and demonstrate high governance and socialreadiness are likely to experience stable or reduced food prices. Based onthese results, the study recommends that SSA governments prioritise anticorruptionefforts to earn donor trust and increase CF, ultimately leadingto lower food prices in the sub-region. Further, the findings indicatethat good rainfall patterns reduce food prices: this shows the need for SSAcountries to invest in policies that lead to reliablewater supply as irrigation.
An Exploration of Teacher Leadership: Are Future Teachers Ready to Lead?
Authors: Aliu Jetë , Kaçaniku Fjolla
Published: December 2023

The teaching profession has become increasingly complex in the last decades. The changing role of teachers has called for a new paradigm of the teaching profession that recognises the potential of teachers to lead for supporting school development and change. The influence teachers have on the school community and their commitment to school change are at the core of teacher leadership definitions. Preparing future teachers to act as leaders in their schools can support the overall efforts for school improvement. Hence, the purpose of this study is to explore pre-service teacher leadership development. The study utilised a qualitative methodology to address: (i) pre-service teachers’ understanding of teacher leadership, (ii) the role of initial teacher education in shaping the understanding of teacher leadership, and (iii) the contribution of initial teacher education to pre-service teachers’ readiness for exercising leadership roles for school improvement. The study was conducted with pre-service teachers in the leading initial teacher education institution in Kosovo. A total of 42 pre-service teachers from all years of the Primary Teacher Education programme participated in four group interviews with the aim of discussing in depth the core elements of teacher leadership in order to better grasp the pre-service teachers’ understanding of this concept as well as their readiness to exercise leadership roles. A model devised by Snoek et al. (2019) was used as an analytical framework to determine the development of teacher leadership in initial teacher education. The study reveals that there is no consensus on the definition of teacher leadership. The findings show that the understanding of teacher leadership is based on a contextually drawn vision of what it means to be a teacher, resulting in a narrow view of leadership with regard to individual and classroom levels. The study concludes that initial teacher education has a critical role in contributing to shifting the conceptualisation of teacher leadership beyond the isolated views of individual and formal leadership. The findings have imperative implications for providing good models of initial teacher education that support the preparation and readiness of future teacher leaders to tackle the ever-increasing complexities of the teaching profession.

ASD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects how people communicate, interact, and behave. It is not a single condition, but a spectrum of different symptoms and challenges that can vary from person to person. To diagnose ASD, clinicians and experts use various tests and observations, but these methods can have some drawbacks. They can be subjective, expensive, and time-consuming, and they may not work well for different cultures and regions. There is also no clear biological or genetic marker for ASD. ML is a type of artificial intelligence that can learn from data and make predictions or decisions without being programmed. ML can help with ASD diagnosis in different ways, such as screening, feature extraction, classification, and outcome prediction. Screening is the process of finding out who may have ASD and need more tests. Feature extraction is the process of getting useful information from the data, such as brain scans, speech patterns, or eye movements. Classification is the process of putting people into different groups or categories, such as ASD or non-ASD. Outcome prediction is the process of estimating the future situation or performance of people, such as their thinking skills or well-being. In this paper, we review the latest ML methods for ASD diagnosis and the challenges and limitations of these methods. We also talk about the ethical and social issues of using ML for ASD diagnosis and suggest some ideas for future research.

Processo criativo e campo do sintoma
Authors: Fischer Sandra , Vaz Aline
Published: December 2023

O estudo dedica-se a identificar e analisar, a partir de ações criativas que envolvem a realização de A vida invisível (Karim Aïnouz; Brasil, 2019), as linhas que se entrelaçam entre o cinema de autor (alinhado à dimensão da arte e/ou do experimentalismo) e o cinema de gênero (que tende a estabelecer imediata conexão com o grande público). A metodologia utilizada transita por entre a análise fílmica e as ditas ‘teorias de cineastas’ (Penafria, M. et alii., 2015). Considera-se que as estratégias utilizadas na construção do filme em pauta viabilizam o alcance a um público amplo ao mesmo tempo em que potencializam elementos da ordem do sensível como experiência política – assim desconstruindo barreiras e possibilitando elos comunicacionais entre a criação artística, o popular e a ação social.
#FandomsPeloVoto (#FandomsfortheVote): Fan activism in the 2022 elections in Brazil
Authors: Borges Gabriela , Sigiliano Daiana , Almeida Rodrigues Lima Cecília
Published: December 2023

The objective of this article is to analyze the media literacy skills that are at work in the content shared by fans on Twitter during the #FandomsPeloVoto (#FandomsfortheVote) campaign. According to Mihailidis (2014), in a convergence culture environment, media literacy is characterized by five skills: curation, creation, critical understanding, participation and collaboration. Launched in May 2022, the campaign—carried out in partnership with MidiaNinja, the National Student Union (União Nacional dos Estudantes - UNE) and the Brazilian Union of Secondary School Students (União Brasileira dos Estudantes Secundaristas - UBES)—brought together more than 100 pop culture fandoms in Brazil to mobilize 16 to 18-year-olds to obtain a voter registration card and be eligible to vote in the 2022 elections. It can be concluded that the activism of fandoms goes beyond transposing fan culture practices into the realm of political participation, also encompassing the critical interpretation of the sociopolitical issues that were part of the action and the creative production of posts on Twitter. Accordingly, #FandomsPeloVoto has aspects of political resistance, as one of its primary objectives is the removal from power of President Jair Bolsonaro, leader of the far right in Brazil.
FEATURES OF CINEMATOGRAPHY IN RUSSIAN REGIONS: CONSTRUCTION OF SOCIAL MEANINGS
Authors:   Institute of Sociology of FCTAS RAS, Levchenko Natalia V. , Rogovaya Anastasia V. ,   Institute of Sociology of FCTAS RAS
Published: December 2023

The article analyzes the phenomenon of regional cinema in Russia. It analyzes the main theoretical and methodological approaches in the study of film art, as well as interpretations of the concepts of “images”, “meanings” and “constructs” contained in contemporary regional films. It is noted that the positioning of the region in the sociocultural space is conditioned by the emergence of such a form of representation as cinema. It is shown that regional cinema represents a variety of local value constructs that are capable of self-reflection and active transformation of social reality. Symbolic constructs displayed in films can be perceived as unifying (images of historical events and figures, hard provincial life in the regions) and distinctive (customs, myths, rituals, church). The analysis of film content showed that modern regional cinema combines cultural and ethnic diversity, i.e. preservation of ethnic traditions and customs, Soviet values such as mutual aid and responsibility, and local specifics – the role of family, relationships and love for the small homeland.
TRIPTYCH OF LOVE IN ANNA KARENINA: INTERPRETING ANNA’S LOVE(S) PSYCHOANALYTICALLY
Authors:   University of Tyumen, Filatova Elizaveta E.
Published: December 2023

This paper explores Anna Karenina’s multifaceted love(s) towards three men – her son, her husband, and her lover – using psychoanalytic perspective. While Joe Wright’s film adaptation (2012) serves as the primary object of analysis, the paper also draws upon the source text by Leo Tolstoy. The essay demonstrates ways in which psychoanalytic theory may be deployed to understand Anna’s motivations. Specifically, it suggests interpreting Anna’s love decisions in terms of what Freud called a love versus desire divide, originally attributed to men. As analysis shows, Anna seeks love and desire in two separate male figures, with Karenin being more like a father to her, and Vronsky – a sexual object or a “bad boy,” to use Bruce Fink’s term. Anna thinks in terms of “exchange” not of her husband’s but of her son’s love for that of Vronsky, thereby equating those seemingly different love(s). The paper looks closely at the specific scenes as well as stylistic techniques such as a whip pan, close-up, point-of-view shot, etc., which shed light onto Anna’s psychological conflict.

Investigation of the effects of red, green and black lentil flours on the physicochemical and technological quality of pasta
Authors: LEVENT Hacer , KURT Elif , ŞEREF Betül
Published: December 2023

In this study, red lentil flour (RLF), green lentil flour (GLF) and black lentil flour (BLF) replaced wheat semolina at different (0-10%) ratios in pasta formulation. The effect of lentil types and levels of lentil flour supplementation on the physicochemical, textural characteristics and cooking quality of pasta were investigated. It was determined that BLF had the highest ash, crude fat and phytic acid contents, whereas GLF had the highest antioxidant activity (AA) and total phenolic content (TPC) among lentil varieties. The use of GLF in pasta production resulted in higher brightness (L*) and RLF resulted in higher redness (a*) and yellowness (b*) values. The increase in lentil flour ratio in the formulation caused the weight increase and volume increase values to decrease from 200.04% and 238.59% to 174.92% and 222.28%, respectively. Pasta samples containing GLF revealed a higher firmness value than those containing RLF and BLF. It was determined that the cooking loss value was higher in the samples containing 10% lentil flour compared to the control. The use of lentil flour in the formulation improved the pasta samples in terms of protein, ash, TPC, AA, Ca, Mg, Zn and Fe. The results show that nutritionally enriched pasta can be produced with acceptable technological quality by adding up to 10% of GLF and BLF. The successful results show that RLF can be used at rates higher than 10% in pasta production.
Morphological characteristics of cluster of cv. Cabernet-Sauvignon (Vitis vinifera L.) grape variety classified according to berry heterogeneity
Authors: KORKUTAL İlknur , BAHAR Elman , UZUN Müge
Published: December 2023

Two experiments were conducted in two vineyards consisting of vines from the organic-certified Cabernet-Sauvignon/1103P graft combination and the conventional cultivation Cabernet Sauvignon/5BB graft combination. Vines were identified based on pre-dawn leaf water potential values according to stress levels in a Split-Plot Experimental Design. Grapevines were classified as <-0.8 MPa and >-0.8 MPa. These vines were further grouped into dryland-shallow soil and bottomland-deep soil areas, and for each area-soil type, Control, Stress 1, and Stress 2 levels were created. At harvest, the berries were divided into four groups based on their diameter: 10mm-12mm, 12mm-14mm, 14mm-16mm, and 16mm-18mm (In some measurements, no berries belonging to the 16-18mm category could be found). The grapes were grouped as Control, Stress 1 (S1 > -0.8 MPa), and Stress 2 (S2 < -0.8 MPa) based on size groups and stress levels, and certain morphological characteristics of the clusters were examined. The width and length of the clusters were not significantly affected by the area-soil type. Cluster weight, cluster volume, and number of berries per cluster criteria were influenced by stress levels. It was determined that organic vineyards with higher stress levels had fewer clusters compared to conventional vineyards. The number of berries in the clusters showed significant differences based on vineyard area and soil type, water stress levels, and berry size. In conclusion, in the Tekirdağ province, to obtain high-quality grapes from the cv. Cabernet-Sauvignon, it is considered suitable to utilize berries ranging from 10mm to 12mm in size, in conjunction with dryland-shallow soil conditions where the water potential (Ψpd) can decrease to as low as -0.8 MPa during the ripening period.
Toprak bileşenlerinin bazı fosfor fraksiyonlarına etkisi
Authors: YURDAKUL İlknur , USTA Sadık
Published: December 2023

Bitki yetiştiriciliğinde makro bitki besin elementi olan fosfor (P) bitki gelişiminde önemli bir besin kaynağıdır. Topraklarda yeterli P olmasına karşın bitkinin bu P’dan faydalanamadığı
durumlar bitki gelişiminin kısıtlanmasına neden olmaktadır. Bu amaçla alınabilir P problemleri olan ağır bünyeli iki toprakta çalışma yapılmıştır. Topraktan kireç, organik madde ve demir oksitler uzaklaştırılarak P fraksiyonlarına etkileri takip edilmiştir. Organik madde giderme işlemi (OG) için toprağa %30’luk H2O2 ilave edilerek ısıtma işlemi yapılmış fazla H2O2 yıkanarak uzaklaştırılmıştır. Kireç giderme işlemi (KG) işlemi için toprağa 1.0 N HCl çözeltisi ilave edilmiş, kabarma tamamlandığında toprak yüzeyindeki su yıkanarak sifonlanmıştır. Kireç, organik madde ve demir giderme işlemi (KODG) için toprak üzerine 0.5 M NaHCO3, 0.3 M Na3C6H5O7 çözeltisi ve Na-dithionite ilave edilerek su banyosunda ısıtılıp, buharlaştırılmış, renk beyazlaşıncaya kadar işleme devam edilmiştir. Her iki toprak için tek tek ve ardışık bileşen uzaklaştırma işlemi yapılarak OG, KG, Kireç ve organik madde giderme işlemi (KOG) ile KODG konuları oluşturulmuştur. Farklı ön işlemlerden geçirilerek toprak bileşenleri uzaklaştırılmış toprakların P-adsorpsiyon maksimumları (Smax) bulunmuştur. Elde edilen denge çözeltisi P miktarları (C) ve adsorplanan P (S) verileri kullanılarak Langmuir adsorpsiyon izoterminin doğrusallaştırılmış denklemi oluşturulmuştur. P fraksiyonları, yaş yakma, kuru yakma ve NaHCO3 (pH 8.5) ekstraksiyonu kullanılarak tayin edilmiştir. Düver ve Harran serisinde toplam fosfor (PT) 804 ve 858 mg kg , organik fosfor (Po) 430 ve 340 mg kg -1 olarak bulunmuştur. Toprak bileşenlerinin giderilmesi ile PT arasındaki regresyon, Düver serisinde önemli olmuştur (0.795*). Giderme işlemleri PT değerinde azalma gerçekleştirmiş ve istatistiki anlamda önemli olmuştur (F=10.24*, P<0.05; F=16.95**, P<0.01). Giderme işlemleri ile Pi miktarı arasındaki regresyon ilişkisi (0.905* ve 0.789*) önemli olmuştur. Düver serisinde istatistiki önem F=31.43**, P<0.01 iken Harran serisinde F=51.15**, P<0.01 elde edilmiştir. Her iki toprakta konular arasındaki önemlilik sırasıyla (F=6.06*, P<0.05; F=8.59*, P<0.05) %5 seviyesinde olmuştur. PT’un en düşük olduğu noktada (her üç bileşenin de topraktan uzaklaştırıldığı durum) Smax değerinin de düşük olduğu görülmüştür. PT miktarındaki değişime karşın Smax değişimi Düver serisi toprağında önemli olmamış, Harran serisi toprağında önemli olmuştur (F=7.75, P<0.05). Toprak bileşenlerinin giderilmesi toprağın Smax ve PT miktarlarında artışa neden olurken POls miktarında azalmaya neden olmuştur.
Impact of low-dose gamma irradiation treatment on microbial and chemical properties of raw milk white cheese
Authors: AKBULUT ÇAKIR Çağım , VURAL YILDIZ Kevser , AKIN Mutlu Buket , AKIN Musa
Published: December 2023

Using raw milk in cheese-making has microbiological risks, however a considerable number of artisan cheese makers around the world prefer raw milk, as heat treatment damages natural microbiota and alters the characteristic taste and flavor of the cheese. The potential of the gamma irradiation process to make the raw milk cheese microbiologically safe was investigated in this study. A total of 5 groups of cheese were produced, including control groups (control pasteurized milk cheese and control non-irradiated raw milk cheese). After the white cheese samples were kept in brine for 1 night, they were vacuum-packaged and each group was subjected to gamma irradiation at doses of 1, 2, and 3 kGy, respectively. Chemical composition, pH, acidity, Urea-PAGE images, total aerobic mesophilic bacteria (TAMB), coliform group bacteria, E. coli, yeasts and molds, Lactobacillus and Lactococcus counts of cheese samples were determined during 60 days of storage at 4°C. All analyzes were performed on days 1, 30, and 60 of production. We found that irradiation reduced the microbiological load of the cheeses and slowed down the degradation of αs1-CN and β-CN especially at 3 kGy. Irradiation at 3 kGy successfully inhibited the coliforms and E. coli, however yeast and mold counts were still high due to initial high levels. Our study showed that irradiation of the raw milk cheese is a promising method to reduce the microbial counts to acceptable limits which could reduce the required ripening periods for the microbial safety of raw milk cheeses.

Authors: Valencia Sandoval Karina , Rojas Rojas María Magdalena , Godínez Montoya Lucila
Published: December 2023

El agave es una planta por demás tradicional en México; sin embargo, varios problemas aquejan su producción, entre las adversidades se encuentra la volatilidad de los precios. El objetivo del trabajo fue equiparar las ganancias del cultivo de agave tequilana en su uso tradicional que implica la producción de tequila y, el mismo cultivo cuando se destina para obtener inulina como modelo innovador de negocios utilizando una evaluación de proyectos tradicional y una cimentada en opciones reales considerando el riesgo de los precios en Guanajuato y Michoacán. La hipótesis es que una innovación permitiría incrementar los ingresos disminuyendo la incertidumbre que origina la fluctuación de precios. Los resultados demostraron que la innovación aumenta el valor del proyecto en ambas entidades, pero principalmente en Michoacán lo que permitió concluir que cuando se diferencian los modelos de negocio tienen riesgos como en este caso.

Cuando se oferta una vacante de puesto en una organización, existe competencia por parte de los interesados para ocuparla, sobre todo si se trata de un puesto directivo; en este caso, las mujeres se enfrentan a un trato inequitativo porque todavía impera en las empresas la creencia de los estereotipos y que por su condición femenina son las responsables del hogar, hijos y familia en general, considerándolas no aptas para ocupar puestos directivos. El objetivo de este trabajo es demostrar que existe falta de inclusión de mujeres en las organizaciones a nivel directivo. Se utilizó una metodología de tipo documental descriptiva con revisión de literatura científica para el análisis del fenómeno objeto de estudio. Como resultado se observa la falta de inclusión de mujeres en puestos de dirección en empresas, a pesar de que son comprometidas, responsables y expertas en manejo de crisis, por ejemplo, el porcentaje de participación en puestos directivos en América Latina es del 40.58% en América del Norte 22% mientras que África el 3%.

El papel de la gobernanza es fundamental para afrontar una situación crisis sanitaria, como la que se vive actualmente. En ese sentido, el objetivo de este estudio es analizar la percepción que tiene la población con respecto al desempeño de las instituciones políticas en México frente al manejo del COVID-19.  Para lo que se realizó una encuesta a nivel nacional a 1211 personas adultas teniendo como marco muestral las zonas Nielsen de México. Teniendo como principal hallazgo que las variables que tienen más influencia en la confianza institucional, gestión del coronavirus por parte del gobierno, la efectividad del gobierno ante las situaciones del coronavirus y el gobierno frente a la pandemia en comparativa con otros países son la desafectividad política y la información de la pandemia, es decir en quién confían más para informarse de todo lo relativo al coronavirus.

Çeviri Sosyolojisi Odağında Thomas Hardy'nin Tess Başlıklı Eserinin Suat Ertüzün Çevirisi Üzerinden İncelenmesi
Authors: YAVUZ Selma , BOGENÇ DEMİREL Emine
Published: December 2023

Bu çalışma, İngiliz yazar ve şair Thomas Hardy’nin Tess of the d’Urbervilles: A Pure Woman başlıklı eserinin çevirmen Suat Ertüzün tarafından Can Yayınları’ndan Türkçeye kazandırılan Tess başlıklı çeviri yapıtın, çeviri stratejilerinin çevirmen, editör ve yayınevi tarafından nasıl benimsendiğini ve bu öğelerin çeviri ürününün üretim, dolaşım ve tüketim süreçlerinde nasıl etkili olduğunu Pierre Bourdieu’nün “habitus”, “alan”, “sermaye” ve “doxa” kavramlarıyla çeviri sosyolojisi yöntemsel yaklaşımı odağında ele alarak yeniden okumayı amaçlamaktadır. Thomas Hardy İngiliz Edebiyatı’nın önemli temsilcilerinden biridir ve 1840-1928 yılları arasında İngiltere'de Victoria Dönemi’nde yaşamıştır. Eser, 1891’de İngiliz resimli gazete The Graphic'te sansürlenmiş bir versiyonuyla haftalık olarak yayımlanmaya başlamıştır. 1891 yılında yayımlanan bu sansürlü versiyonun ardından eser, 1892’de üç cilt olarak ve daha sonra aynı yıl içerisinde tek bir cilt halinde yayımlanmıştır. Eserin Türkiye’deki dolaşımı ise Hayat Bağları başlığıyla 1972’de başlamıştır ve çeşitli yayınevleri tarafından çevrilerek dolaşımı Türk yazınsal alanında devam etmiştir. Söz konusu çalışmada, bu çeviriler arasından 2021’de Can Yayınları’ndan Tess başlığıyla Türkçeye kazandırılan çevirinin seçilmesinin nedeni çevirmen Suat Ertüzün’ün çevirisinde özgün ve özgür çeviri anlayışını benimsemiş olmasıdır. Ertüzün’ün çevirisi, çevirinin yalnızca metinsel ve dilsel boyutu ile değil, aynı zamanda metindışı toplumsal faktörleri de içeren, toplumsal ilişkilerin ve dinamiklerin bir yansıması olarak çeviri sürecinin oluşumunda etkili olan toplumsal koşulları ve tüm eyleyicileri irdeleyen çeviri sosyolojisi yaklaşımı ile ele alınmıştır. Metni yeniden yorumlayan bir özne olarak Ertüzün, çeviri metninde kendi düşünsel ve yorumsal katkısını ekleyerek hedef dilde ve kültürde anlamlı ve sesi duyulan, alanın geleneksel özgün kurallarını değiştiren ya da dönüştüren çeviri anlayışıyla hareket etmiş, alandaki “doxa”ya karşı bir duruş sergileyip özgün bir çeviri gerçekleştirmiştir.
Gotik (Korku) Edebiyatı Çevirisinde İnsan Aracının Rolü
Authors: SEÇKİN Sevcan
Published: December 2023

Çeviribilimde sosyolojik dönüşle birlikte, çeviri toplumsal bir eylem ve ürün olarak ele alınmış ve araştırmacıların odak noktası metinlerden ziyade çevirinin arka planında yer alan ve çeviri sürecine yön veren eyleyiciler olmuştur. Toplumsal bir eyleyici olarak çevirmen de sosyal ve kültürel bir çevre içinde konumlanmakta ve tercihlerini çeviri ürüne yansıtmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı ünlü gotik (korku) edebiyatı yazarı Stephen King’in “1408” (1408), “L.T.’s Theory of Pets” (L.T.’nin Evcil Hayvanlar Teorisi) ve “Riding the Bullet” (Lunapark Treni) adlı üç kısa öyküsünün İngilizce-Türkçe çevirilerini karşılaştırmalı olarak incelemek ve bu analizden yola çıkarak çevirmen kararlarını etkileyen sosyo-kültürel faktörleri ortaya koymaktır. Karşılaştırmalı çeviri incelemesinde hedef kültür okurlarının sosyal ve kültürel farklılıklarına atfedilebilecek örnekler incelenecektir. Bulunan örnekler Pierre Bourdieu’nün habitus kavramı temelinde analiz edilecek ve habitusun toplumsal yönünün çeviriye olan etkileri açığa çıkarılacaktır. Araştırma nesnesi olarak korku edebiyatının seçilmesinin nedeni, bu türün çeviri incelemelerinde daha az yer edinmesi ve olay örgüsü çoğunlukla psikolojik öğelere yapılan göndermelerden oluşsa da toplumsal ve kültürel bir yönünün de olduğunun düşünülmesidir. Çalışmaya konu olan üç öykü 2002 yılında yayımlanan Karanlık Öyküler (Everything’s Eventual) koleksiyonu içinde yer almaktadır. Bu eser 2002 yılında Canan Kim tarafından çevrilmiş ve Altın Kitaplardan yayına çıkmıştır.

La biolixiviación de residuos minero-metalúrgicos para la remoción de metales pesados es un tema de gran relevancia en los campos ambiental, de salud pública y recuperación secundaria. Los metales pesados representan un riesgo latente para la salud cuando se dispersan en el ambiente, especialmente en el agua y el suelo, en concentraciones elevadas. En este estudio, se cultivó un conglomerado microbiano de microorganismos acidófilos-mesófilos obtenidos de biomasa natural generada por la oxidación de minerales. Estos microorganismos se aplicaron en el proceso de biolixiviación de residuos minero-metalúrgicos provenientes de una zona con altos niveles de contaminación por metales pesados y productora de residuos minero-metalúrgicos. El proceso se dividió en dos fases: una inicial en matraces agitados con 50 gramos de residuos durante 15 días, seguida de un escalamiento a 640 gramos en 8,3 litros. Este último se llevó a cabo con agitación a 85 rpm y una temperatura controlada entre 20 y 33 °C durante 30 días, simulando así un reactor a escala experimental. Los resultados destacan la solubilización exitosa de cobre y hierro de los residuos, con una remoción del 63.27% en cobre, 16.19% en hierro y 58.82% en arsénico, evaluados mediante mediciones de concentraciones antes y después de la biolixiviación. La reducción en la concentración de contaminantes subraya el potencial de este proceso para mitigar la contaminación y revalorizar los metales presentes en los residuos. Estos hallazgos orientan la investigación hacia métodos más sostenibles para el ambiente. La aplicación de la biolixiviación no solo brinda beneficios ambientales, sino que también establece una base para acciones en favor de la salud pública. La disminución de la presencia de metales pesados en los residuos contribuye significativamente a la protección de los ecosistemas y la salud de las comunidades cercanas a los sitios de disposición de residuos minero-metalúrgicos.

Published: December 2023

There are undoubtedly many books on using social media technologies to market a service but few that cover several technologies in one guide. This step-by-step guide introduces different technologies and shows the reader how to make use of them to market a library service.

The social media technologies covered include Facebook, wikis, video-sharing sites, Pinterest, Google+, Foursquare, blogs, QR codes and Twitter. It is unlikely that any library will want or need to use all of these tools and this guide equips the readers with the knowledge to select the ones that will work best in their library’s context and meet their user needs.
SCONUL Summer Conference
Authors: Dallison Delphine
Published: December 2023

On the 26th of June, thanks to a generous UKeiG grant, I was able to attend one day of the SCONUL Summer Conference taking place in Glasgow. The theme of the conference was The Open Library: Collections, Collaborations and Challenges, a very topical and sometimes controversial topic in library and publishing circles at the moment.

As an early career professional, attending this conference has been a great opportunity for me to learn more about the background and future directions of open access publishing from a library perspective. It was also very interesting to think about the rising demand for published open data in research as well as published outcomes and the ensuing challenges this will bring in the humanities field where I currently work.
