İKLİMSEL GÖÇÜN KÜRESEL ÖLÇEKTE MEKÂNSAL GÖRÜNÜMÜ
Authors: TEKİN Mehmet Kadri , DENİZ Orhan
Published: December 2023

Amaç: Bu çalışma, günümüz ve geleceğin en önemli insani krizlerinden biri olması öngörülen iklimsel afet ve göçün küresel ölçekteki mekânsal dağılış örüntüsünü ortaya koyarak iklimsel göçün kapsamlı ve bütünlüklü bir fotoğrafını göstermeyi hedeflemektedir. Güncel olan bu önemli meseleye akademinin dikkatinin çekilmesi de diğer bir amaçtır.

Yöntem: Çalışmada nicel verilerden yararlanılmıştır. Küresel ölçekte doğal afet ve göç verisi tutan Uluslararası Afet Veri Tabanı (ing. International Disaster Database, EM-DAT) ve Ülke İçi Göç İzleme Merkezi (ing. Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre, IDMC)’nden iklim ve hava ile ilişkili olan afetlerin verileri kullanılarak Coğrafi Bilgi Sistemleri (CBS)’nde görsel hale getirilmiştir. Daha sonra görselleştirilen bu iklimsel afet ve göçlerin zamansal ve mekânsal dağılış bilgisi betimsel analiz tekniği ile irdelenmiştir.

Bulgular: İklim değişikliği etkilerinin belirginleşmesiyle birlikte iklimsel afet ve göç olaylarının sayısında, şiddetinde ve sıklığında anlamlı artışlar ortaya çıkmıştır. Başta sel/taşkın, fırtına (özellikle büyük tropikal siklonlar) ve kuraklık olmak üzere iklim ve hava ile ilişkili (orman yangınları, çölleşme, sıcak ve soğuk hava dalgaları vb.) diğer tüm iklimsel afetlere bağlı olarak küresel ölçekte önemli göç hareketleri yaşanmıştır. Ortaya çıkan bu göçlerin çok büyük bir bölümü ise Güneydoğu Asya (özellikle okyanusa kıyısı olan bölgeler), Orta Afrika (özellikle Sahraaltı Afrika Bölgesi) ve Amerika (ABD ve Brezilya dahil olmak üzere bu iki ülke arasında kalan bölge)’da yoğunlaşmaktadır. İnsani yaşam gösterge farklarının ve iklim değişikliği etkilerinin ülkeler/bölgeler ölçeğinde gittikçe daha da belirginleştiği günümüz ve geleceğin dünyasında “iklimsel göç” meselesinin de önemli bir yer tutacağı beklenmektedir.

Özgünlük: Siyasi (çatışma ve şiddet), ekonomik ve sosyal nedenlere bağlı olarak yaşanan göç hareketleri ulusal ve uluslararası literatürde yoğun bir şekilde konu olmasına rağmen, çağımızın en önemli sorunu olan küresel iklim değişikliğinin neden olduğu göçler konusu derli toplu bir biçimde yeterince çalışılmamıştır. Dolayısıyla çalışmanın, bu anlamda öncü olması ve konuyu makro ölçekte ele alması nedeniyle literatüre önemli ölçüde katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.

A crisis is an event that has more negative implications in an organization. The crisis also has much potential for the negative in affecting an organization or a company and in the community. Whereas morals are things that fit with ideas which are commonly accepted by humans, which are good and which are bad. Assessments of morals are measured in local cultures. When such a person does according to the values that are in society it is accepted and the person has good value. So the moral crisis is the negative that can influence a system and aspects of that good life in the home, school, and community environment. The crisis phase is that crisis build up, the second crisis breakout, the third chrinic crisis stage, and the last crisis stage. Furthermore, the revolutionary society 5.0 concept, which will play a major role in transforming data into a new kind of wisdom that ultimately enhances human ability, opens the door to a meaningful life. In the society 5.0 era a great amount of information would accumulate in the virtual world. The impact is that the world is becoming so connected that national boundaries seem to be lost.

In the quest to understand the dynamics of female Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) combats, this research delves into the world of winning and losing. By comparing time-motion analysis based on different outcomes, our objective was to unveil the movement patterns of victory. Our sample included 209 winning (W) versus 209 losing (L) female international BJJ combats, presenting a comprehensive picture of the combat landscape. Through time-motion analysis, we explored various BJJ combat phases, such as approach, gripping, transition, side control, mounting, attack, defense, low-intensity movement, and total time. The statistical results highlight significant differences between winners and losers in key aspects of the combats. Notably, side control (W= 47.7 [27.8; 96.5]s vs. L= 27.3 [20.3; 41.9]s), mount (W= 40.0 [16.6; 85.9]s vs. L= 15.9 [6.1; 25.6]s), attack (W= 50.1 [28.6; 86.7]s vs. L= 16.6 [7.7; 35.7]s), defense (W= 14.6 [6.6; 38.2]s vs. L= 38.8 [17.7; 77.0]s), and low-intensity movement (W= 55.9 [23.4; 132.2]s vs. L= 111.5 [58.7; 225.6]s) revealed differences between the winners and losers. The implications extend to sports psychology and judo training, providing knowledge for enhancing performance, optimizing training programs, and making strategic decisions during combat.

Authors: Bafirman Bafirman , Yulfadinata Afifan , Agus Apri , Ayubi Novadri
Published: December 2023

This study aims to analyze the effect of curcumin on serum IL-10 levels after high-intensity exercise. This experimental research uses pre and post-control group design. Research subjects were selected using purposive sampling technique. Next, the subjects were divided into 2 groups, namely group (K1) given placebo and group (K2) given curcumin. A total of 20 healthy men participated in this study who were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. On the first day, all subjects collected data on the characteristics of the research subjects, then warmed up, then the subjects did exercises in the form of squad exercises and leg presses with an intensity of 80-90% of their maximum ability. Exercises are done in 4 sets, 10 repetitions for each form of exercise and rest between sets for approximately 60 seconds. On the second day, after 24 hours, all subjects had pre-test blood samples taken to measure serum IL-10 levels and were given intervention according to group. On the third day, after 24 hours, all subjects had post-test blood samples taken to measure serum IL-10 levels. Blood samples were analyzed in the laboratory using the ELISA method with the Human IL-10 ELISA kit catalog number MDBEH6154. The results of this study reported that the group given curcumin at a dose of 400 mg had significantly increased serum IL-10 levels (p<0.05). Increasing serum IL-10 levels, which is an anti-inflammatory cytokine, has the potential to control uncontrolled inflammation after exercise. So in this case, the anti-inflammatory properties of curcumin also have the potential to reduce post-exercise muscle pain. Reducing the intensity of pain after high intensity exercise is necessary to support body function.

This study aimed to evaluate children's kinematic movement in petanque pointing and shooting techniques. There were 16 male beginner petanque athletes (aged 11.37 ± 1.36 years old, weight 42.37 ± 4.36 Kg, and height 151.37 ± 7.36 cm) who were selected using the purposive sampling method. The successful throwing was observed in the sagittal plane and measured by kinematic analysis in Kinovea 0.9.4 Software. There were pointing and shooting kinematic data, categorized into four phases, i.e., back swing, zero position, release, and follow throw position. As a result, there were significantly different in several variables of each phase between pointing and shooting techniques. There was a significant difference in the back swing phase at shoulder extension and ball height (α < .05). The shooting technique showed greater velocity (10.94 ± 13.34 m/s) than pointing (5.290 ± 0.44 m/s). In the release phase, every variable was significantly different (α < .05). The ball height in pointing was higher (92.53 ± 9.69 m) than in shooting (80.19 ± 10.74 m). Ball velocity at pointing was slower (6.46 ± 0.43 m/s) than shooting (16.09 ± 5.18 m/s). The release elevation angle at pointing was wider (42.38 ± 5.85 o) than shooting (35.31 ± 7.26 o). There were significant differences in trunk flexion, knee flexion, maximum ball height, and ball velocity at the follow-throw phase (α < .05). Ball velocity at pointing was slower (4.90 ± 2.35 m/s) than shooting (13.01 ± 5.36 m/s). In conclusion, the specific technique in shooting and pointing could be adapted in the training method for children to advance the result and successful possibility. Further study could be conducted in different age groups and gender to gain more information about the petanque throwing technique.

Authors: Tolossa Dawit , Hirgo Jabe , Negussie Yohannes
Published: December 2023

Mob justice, a phenomenon characterized by a group's extrajudicial administration of punishment, raises intricate questions about human psychology, ethical norms, and societal cohesion. This article presents a comprehensive analysis of mob justice, drawing insights from a systematic literature review that spans psychological, moral, and long-term societal dimensions. The study highlights the psychological underpinnings of mob behaviour, where groupthink and deindividuation play significant roles in shaping individuals' participation. This analysis sheds light on the intricate motivations driving collective violence. Moreover, the ethical implications of mob justice are explored, revealing widespread human rights violations and challenges to established ethical norms. The erosion of the right to a fair trial and the presumption of innocence, fundamental to human rights frameworks, underscores the urgent need for aligned practices. In examining the lasting societal consequences, the article unveils fractured community relations, reduced trust in formal justice systems, perpetuation of violence cycles, and stigmatization. This comprehensive understanding underscores the importance of addressing mob justice beyond legal parameters. The article identifies research gaps, calling for deeper profiling of participants, human rights-centered interventions, and comprehensive long-term strategies. The influence of the digital era remains underexplored, necessitating research into online platforms' contribution to mobilization. Ultimately, synthesising insights offers a holistic perspective on mob justice, encouraging collaborative efforts toward evidence-based interventions that foster more just and humane societies.

Aşınma testleri sonucunda, cam elyaf takviyeli PPA kompozitin sürtünme katsayısı ve aşınma oranı katkısız PPA polimerine göre daha düşük olduğu belirlenmiştir. Uygulanan yükün artması ile sürtünme katsayısı artarken hızın artması ile sürtünme katsayısı azalmıştır. Aşınma oranı ise uygulanan yük ve kayma hızının artması ile artmıştır. Uygulanan tribolojik test çalışma şartlarında %30oranında cam elyaf takviyeli poli-fital-amit katkısız PPA’ya göre ortalama da en az 5 kat dirençli olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Yani makine elemanı olan kullanılan dişlilerin çalışma ömrünün doğru malzeme kullanımı ile artırılabileceği sonucu çıkarılabilir.
The Role of Employees' Personality Characteristics in Job Performance and Satisfaction during Digitization Years
Authors: Giannoukou Ioanna
Published: December 2023

This paper summarizes the association between employees' personality traits and their job performance and satisfaction levels. Comprehending this correlation is crucial for organizations aiming to maximize employee well-being and productivity. The impact of personality traits on workplace dynamics has been widely acknowledged for a considerable period. Extensive research has been conducted on the Five-Factor Model (FFM) of personality, which comprises conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, openness to experience, and emotional stability (neuroticism) concerning job performance and satisfaction. The primary objective of this systematic review was to examine the correlation between personality traits and job performance and satisfaction. Most existing literature predominantly revolves around the Big Five personality theory, which encompasses five key dimensions: agreeableness, extraversion, neuroticism, conscientiousness, and openness to experience. A total of twenty-two articles were subjected to analysis, out of which fifteen articles met the inclusion criteria. These criteria encompassed the requirement for articles to be written in English, to be directly relevant to the topic under investigation, to utilize workers as the study sample, and to have been published in reputable scientific journals. The findings indicated a robust correlation between personality traits and job performance and job satisfaction, with the former exerting a substantial influence on work outcomes. More specifically, according to the Big 5 factor model, neuroticism has been found to impact job performance and satisfaction significantly negatively. Conversely, it is noteworthy that traits such as extroversion and conscientiousness exclusively positively influence work-related factors. In summary, employees' personality traits have a notable impact on their job performance and level of satisfaction. Organizations can derive advantages by acknowledging these dynamics when engaging in recruitment, role design, and provision of developmental opportunities. The significance of personality should be taken into account in conjunction with other contextual and individual factors in order to achieve a comprehensive comprehension of employee well-being and performance.

Family photos and architectural representation: Using photo-collage sketchbook to understand behaviour patterns in family apartment buildings
Authors: Meral Seda , Karaca Şalgamcıoğlu Berrak , Şalgamcıoğlu Mehmet Emin
Published: December 2023

This article presents a three-step process of collecting, deconstructing and reconstructing family photos in ethnographic research investigating the sociocultural aspects of behaviour patterns in family apartment buildings. The first author conducted the study for her Ph.D. thesis in architectural design, supervised by the second and third authors. As an architect, the first author created a photo collage sketchbook, combining various representational techniques of her profession with family photographs. While observing the family apartment building and trying to understand the “gecekondu” where the participants lived before the family apartment building, the researcher realised that the interviews were insufficient, and this problem forced the use of a photo collage sketchbook. To synthesise ethnographic knowledge, research started with obtaining family photos. After extracting and grouping, the deconstruction process began. Deconstructed layers are then reconstructed by using various architectural representation techniques and text. This photo collage sketchbook has helped us understand various aspects of the family apartment buildings related to architecture and culture. While doing this, the sketchbook prepared with visual contents combined with short notes represents the data collecting, organising, analysing, interpretation, knowledge-making, and presentation stages. In working with a photo collage sketchbook, obtaining family photographs and overlapping the photographs and interviews’ narratives appear challenging. Therefore, collective interviews have been a critical move to compare and verify the memories recalled by the participants. While interviewing, it is vital to show the photos to every participant from a particular age group because they contribute differently to the photo components because of the place experience. So, this study is not about a set of instructions or tools but experiences about the process or approach to constructing ethnographic knowledge.

Climate resilience and energy performance of future buildings in Nigeria based on RCP 4.5 and 8.5 scenarios
Authors: Alegbe Mark , Mtaver Gwaza
Published: December 2023

The predicted rise in global temperature by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change IPCC appeals for a review of the methods and materials used for building construction for reduced emissions and comfort in buildings. Buildings account for the most carbon emissions in the globe. This study presents the impact of temperature change across the 36 state capitals in Nigeria, and the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, based on Representative Concentration Pathways, RCPs 4.5 for 2020 and 8.5 for 2090. A simple studio apartment with optimised alternatives for retrofits and new builds was simulated using EnergyPlus for both climate scenarios to determine the strategies for improving the energy performance of future buildings. The result of the study shows a significant increase in mean monthly outdoor temperature of about 5⁰c across the states, with potential heat stress affecting buildings in future climates. Moreover, about one-third of the locations experience a shift in climatic zones to hotter ones. The impact of this climate drift will be more severe in the Northcentral and Southwest regions of the country. The design strategies recommended to mitigate the effects of a changing climate focused on building envelope insulation, thermal mass, and solar shading. The performance of the optimised models under future scenarios accounts for up to 25% and 73% savings in cooling energy for retrofits and new builds, respectively. To protect existing buildings from the impact of future climates, developers must make massive investments in solar shading of buildings. In contrast, a combination of envelope insulation and solar shading strategies proves effective for new builds.
