Authors: YÜCEBAŞ Semiray , İKE SALA Sevil
Published: August 2022

Conservatism is currently a significant political ideology that determines the political sphere in Turkey. As known, conservative ideology is represented in the center-right parties in the country. However, the conservative Islamic ideology, which became visible as a political actor in the 1970s, was brought to power first at the local level and then at the national scale in the 1990s. Today, it can be argued that this is why Islamist conservatism leads central politics. This political alteration has also been reflected in the culture and daily life of society. After all, Islamist conservatism becomes visible in daily life with transformations that we can refer to as modern popular and consumer culture. Principally conservative women play a notable role in building this synthesis in everyday life. With these concerns, the article tries to find out how the contents of these specific experiences take place, particularly through interviews with upper-middle-class women, with particular deep interviews that were conducted in a neighborhood the upper-middle-classes lived in Istanbul. Then the data obtained from these interviews were divided into themes and analyzed the connections formed by upper-middle-class women with new forms of life in Turkey, and their contents are tried to be learned.
Batıda ve Türk İslam Kültüründe Tarihsel Zaman Algısı
Authors: YILMAZ Recep
Published: August 2022

İnsan, pratik ihtiyaçları için mekânda tezahür eden doğal zamanı gözlemleyerek ölçmüş ve ondan, sosyal yaşamını düzenlemeye yarayan ölçülü zamanı yani kronolojik zamanı üretmiştir. Farklı takvim sistemlerine dayalı olarak ortaya çıkan kronolojilerin ortak adı olan kronolojik zaman, takvimler arası çevrilebilir niteliğiyle nesnel bir yapıdadır. Buna karşın, zamanın olaylar bakımından değerlendirilmesi olan tarihsel zaman ise, kültür ve medeniyetlerin kendilik bilinci ve varlık anlayışlarına paralel yorumlandığından öznel bir yapı arz eder. Varlık ve zaman anlayışlarındaki farklılıklar, bakış açısının değişmesiyle birlikte bir medeniyetin kendi bünyesinde de görülebilir. Nitekim 18. yüzyılın sonlarından itibaren Batı’da meydana gelen perspektif değişimi, akabinde yeni bir zaman anlayışını ortaya çıkarmıştır. Batı hegemonyasıyla birlikte neredeyse tüm dünyaya yayılmış olan bu yeni (modern) zaman anlayışı, İslam medeniyetine mensup kültürler üzerinde de etkili olmuştur. Buna rağmen İslam medeniyeti, modernite etkisiyle büyük ölçüde terkedilen mebde’ ve meâda dayalı zaman anlayışına bağlı kalmış ve bu anlayışını dünya üzerindeki tek sâfî ay takvimi olan hicri takvimle yaşatmaya devam etmiştir. Çalışmada Türk-İslam kültürünün bu modern zaman anlayışı karşısındaki tutumuna yer verilmekte, akabinde söz konusu tutumun, güneş takvimlerinin de dikkate alındığı bir anlayışla tarihsel zamanda kendilik bilincini hedefleyen dönemlendirmelerle daha belirgin hale getirilmesinin gerekliliğine dikkat çekilmektedir.

Published: August 2022

The aim of this study was to investigate the factors affecting the science success of eighth-grade students using the Ordinal Logistic Regression method. In this study, information collected from a total of 4224 students, 2202 (52.1%) male and 2022 (47.9%) female, who participated in the ABIDE 2016 application was used. The scores obtained from the science course of the students entering the ABIDE 2016 application were transformed into categorical ones according to the determined threshold values. In the analysis, the categorical science success score was used as the predicted variable, and 15 variables that were thought to affect science success were used as predictive variables. The data obtained later were examined by the Ordinal Logistic Regression method. As a result of the examination, the factors affecting science success were determined as peer bullying, perceived self-efficiency, value given to the course, parental attention, family pressure, father’s educational status, mother's educational status, monthly income, having a computer or tablet, having a room of one's own, student's educational goal and participation in science support courses. The findings were found to be remarkably similar to those found in the literature. This indicates that the OLR method is quite effective in predicting training data. Such research is expected to be handled objectively and without bias.

Democratic tolerance in party-dependent social media using the example of the SPÖ in Austria
Authors: ÖZKEÇECİ Zehra
Published: August 2022

This article examines the use of social media by the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ), which is one of the oldest parties in Europe. The origins of the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ) date back many years, and its most loyal constituency is already aging. The SPÖ appeals to its voters primarily through its Facebook and Twitter accounts on social media. In recent years, the SPÖ, whose online activities and use of social media have increased, has sought to move away from traditional politics and become a modern and progressive party. The opposition party SPÖ's critical attitude toward other parties and especially the government is also reflected in its content on social media. Although the SPÖ targeted the bourgeois-conservative electorate, conservatives remained loyal to the Christian-social ÖVP rather than changing to the neo-capitalist SPÖ. This article has attempted to determine whether there is a democratic tolerance for the use and sharing of social media that reflects the critical viewpoint of the SPÖ.
Does External Debts Affect Economic Growth: The Case of E7 Countries
Authors: ÖZYILMAZ Ayfer
Published: August 2022

Developing countries, which mostly face financing problems, often have to use external debt. On the one hand, external debt stands out as an important source of financing investments, but on the other hand, due to inefficient use or administrative failures, it may harm the macroeconomic indicators of countries, rather than benefit, with parameters such as exchange rate, bad governance and corruption. One of these macroeconomic indicators is undoubtedly economic growth. In this context, the effect of external debt on growth is discussed for the E7 countries in the 1992-2020 period. First of all, the relationship between external debt growth was examined using Westerlund cointegration analysis. According to, there is a long term co-integration relationship between foreign debt and economic growth in E7 countries. Common Correlated Effects Estimator (CCE) and Augmented Mean Group Estimator (AMG) models were used for the coefficient estimation. The findings obtained from both models indicate that external debt negatively affects growth.When the findings are analyzed by country, according to the AMG model, foreign aid affects growth negatively in China, India, Russia, Brazil and Mexico. According to the CCE model findings, foreign aid negatively affects growth in India, Brazil, Mexico and Indonesia. However, according to the findings of both models, the effect of foreign aid on growth in Turkey is statistically insignificant. Panel group analysis results support the debt overhang hypothesis for E7 countries

Authors: Tymofeiev Anton
Published: August 2022

The article reveals the development and functioning of the institute of special pre-trial investigation in Ukraine. The genesis of the origin and implementation of a special pre-trial investigation in the current Criminal Procedure Code is determined. The changes from April 21, 2021 to the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine are analyzed in order to improve the functioning of this institution in terms of grounds for execution, delivery of subpoenas, obtaining a permit for detention in absentia, etc. The aspect of delivery of subpoenas is considered, which is related to the difficulty of proving the fact of receiving subpoenas by person and the practice of the ECHR and international conventions, which partially contradict the existing procedure. The decisions of the European Court of Human Rights are described, which indicate a violation of the person’s right to defense in connection with the implementation of a special pre-trial investigation. Negative aspects of the experience regarding the interaction of investigative units with the Interpol NCB have been identified, as well as the reasons for the latter’s refusal to include persons in the Interpol NCB databases and to declare persons internationally wanted. The unresolved issues with the subject and the moment of appointment of a defense counsel during the special pre-trial investigation procedure are described, which causes difficulties and contradictory decisions of national courts in this regard. The existing issues concerning the inconsistency of legal acts, which indicate the grounds for a special pre-trial investigation and the need to determine these grounds only in the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine. The need to enshrine the legal obligation of the investigator or prosecutor to reopen criminal proceedings at the time of consideration of a request for a special pre-trial investigation in order to avoid the return of these requests by the investigating judge has been revealed. The positive changes in the aspect of obtaining an indefinite detention order in respect of persons subject to a special pre-trial investigation have been analyzed, which will simplify international legal assistance regarding their extradition.

Published: August 2022

Anaerobes, which are components of microbiota, can cause life-threatening infections. Because of their fastidious nature, they are difficult to isolate and are often overlooked. The goal of this study was to identify the anaerobic bacteria isolated from clinical specimens at the Central Laboratory of Hacettepe University Hospital in 2015-2018 and to evaluate the distribution of the isolated bacterial species among the different specimen types. The anaerobic bacteria isolated from the specimens were identified by the conventional methods and MALDI-TOF MS.

Overall, 15,300 anaerobic cultures were studied. Of these, 14,434 (94.3%) were blood samples and 866 (5.7%) were other clinical specimens. A total of 138 anaerobic bacteria were isolated: 62 (44.9%) were isolated from blood samples and 76 (55.1%) from other specimens. The most isolated anaerobes from blood cultures were Bacteroides spp. (41.9%), followed by Cutibacterium acnes (25.8%) and Clostridium spp. (9.7%). The most isolated anaerobes from the other specimens were Gram-negative bacilli, including Bacteroides spp. (15.8%), Fusobacterium spp. (14.5%), Prevotella spp. (14.5%), and Porphyromonas spp. (2.6%). Anaerobic Finegoldia magna represented the major species among the isolated Gram-positive bacteria (10.5%). Anaerobic growth was observed in 0.4% of all the blood cultures and in 5.8% of the positive blood cultures. The results of our study showed that the incidence of anaerobic bacteremia was stable during the 2015-2018 period.

Authors: Golubek A.V.
Published: August 2022

The article proposes the development of a method for the combined deorbiting large space debris objects from low Earth orbits, performed using an electric propulsion engine and an aerodynamic sailing device. Simulation modeling of the combined deorbiting was carried out for various combinations of parameters of deorbit scheme, such as the altitude of the initial orbit, the phase of solar activity at the moment of deorbiting start, the ballistic coefficient, the time of active operation of the control system, and the time of one battery charge. Analytical dependences of the minimum increment in the velocity of an electric propulsion system, gained in one impulse, and the minimum number of impulses on the parameters of the deorbiting scheme, necessary to ensure the withdrawal for 25 years, are determined. Sectors of the solar activity phase at the moment of the deorbiting start providing optimal energy costs for the withdrawal process, are identified. The results obtained are of practical interest for the problems of designing modern means of deorbiting large space objects from low Earth orbits at enterprises in the rocket and space industry.
Analysis of the Effect of Regime Parameters of High-Temperature Chemical Activation Process on the Structural Material of the Equipment
Authors: Popova A.A. , Shubin I.N.
Published: August 2022

The article describes the experimental studies carried out to determine the impact factors of high-temperature chemical activation on the structural material of a laboratory reactor made of steel 09G2S. The impacts were diagnosed using metallographic microscopy, as well as X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy by potassium content. The presence of local corrosion was found over the entire outer surface of the reactor to a depth of 0.15 mm, presumably caused by hydrogen and carbonyl corrosion, but there was no corrosion on the inner surface. Besides, saturation of the surface layer with potassium to a depth of more than 0.34 mm due to diffusion and corrosion processes was observed outside and inside the reactor. Technological and constructive measures are proposed to reduce the impact factors of the chemical activation process on the structural material.

Published: August 2022

In having an interpersonal communication, the speaker might use numerous types of speech acts to convey his/her intended meaning due to a particular reason. Under the domain of pragmatics, the researcher was attracted to explore the use of speech acts for refusing food. Hence, this study aims to investigate the types of speech acts of refusing food performed by the characters on the TV series entitled “Tetangga Masa Gitu?” and uncover the aspects underlying the use of speech acts. In terms of approach, this inquiry applied a descriptive qualitative method. In undergoing the analysis, the researcher employed Austin’s (1962), Searle’s (1976), Wijana’s (1996) and Parker’s Riley’s (2014) notions on the speech acts types. To find out the aspects underlying the speech acts usage, the researcher implemented speech situation aspects and politeness maxims as proposed by Leech (1983) as well as Brown’s and Levinson’s politeness parameters (1987). The data were the utterances indicating the use of speech act to refuse food and the underlying aspects. The data were obtained through TV series “Tetangga Masa Gitu?”.  The results exhibit that the characters used direct non-literal and indirect non-literal speech act to refuse food. Meanwhile, the aspects propelling the use of speech acts are politeness, distance, ranking of imposition (Brown Levinson, 1987) and culture (Leech, 1983).

Language is very common in various media, one of which is in advertising. The use of attractive language can attract attention for those who see it. This is also done by the company Kirihuci Indonesia in marketing Cilembu sweet potato processed products on the Instagram social network. To find out what language variations are used in the advertisement for Kirihuci's sweet potato products on Instagram, this research was conducted. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with interviews and internet searching as data collection techniques. After the linguistic data was collected, a content analysis was carried out to describe the results of the linguistic data collection. From this study, it was found that Kirihuci used sociolect variations as a variation of advertising language, because it relates to the status, class, and social class of the speakers. As a seller who wants to get closer to potential consumers, the Kirihuci Instagram manager uses colloquial variations or variations of casual language that are commonly used in everyday life. The use of Sundanese is also used as a form of Kirihuci's identity as a typical ethnic product of Bandung.

mostly considered to moderate relationships rather than measured as a direct or indirect influence toward a specific outcome variable of interest. This study aims to contribute to knowledge that the firm’s export performance, as the outcome variable, is directly and indirectly influenced by environmental hostility with entrepreneurial orientation and dynamic capabilities along a single path.
Design/Methodology/Approach – Grounded on the resource-based view and contingency approach in management, an explanatory sequential research design was used. Using the PLS-SEM technique, quantitative data was collected and analyzed from 108 medium-scale agro-processing firms in the Philippines. A series of interviews was done after to validate quantitative findings and to show the practical manifestation of the variables.
Findings – The influence of environmental hostility on export performance is not straightforward, and an indirect, multi-step mediating effect is made through the firm’s entrepreneurial orientation and dynamic capabilities. Most importantly, the firm’s dynamic capabilities were seen to be the missing link between the EO-export performance relationship, as it gives the better understanding as to why EO alone cannot always influence above-average export performance. Dynamic capabilities are essentially needed along the firm’s chain of operations, making dynamic capabilities a major antecedent of export performance.
Research Implications – EO is responsible for converting threatening and hostile environmental effects into beneficial outcomes, such as enhanced dynamic capabilities. However, dynamic capabilities are responsible for the effective execution of operations that positively influence an above-average export performance.

Aim: To verify the validity of maternal reports on the number of deciduous teeth erupted in their children. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed with children enrolled in a Birth Cohort at the age of 12 months in the first stage and 24 months in the second stage. At both stages, children were clinically examined, and mothers reported the number of teeth of their children. Comparison between groups was performed using the Mann-Whitney non-paired Wilcoxon test. Level of agreement between two methods were estimated by the Observed Agreement, Weighted Kappa and Intraclass Correlation coefficients. Results: A total of 125 children were examined in the first stage, with mean number of reported teeth of 6.2. In the second stage, 149 children were examined, with mean number of reported teeth of 15.9. High level of agreement, kappa values and intraclass correlation coefficients were observed for both arches in both periods (p<0.001). Conclusions: Maternal report on the number of teeth erupted in children was reliable and valid. Thus, it seems to be a useful instrument for collecting data in population-based epidemiological studies targeting young children.

The use of selective barriers as resorbable membranes has become a routine clinical procedure for guided bone regeneration. Therefore, the production of membranes with a low inflammatory potential during their resorption process has become the goal of a considerable number of researches. Aim: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the biocompatibility of poly (L- lactic acid) (PLLA) and biocelulose membranes (BC) inserted in the subcutaneous tissue on the dorsum of rats. Methods: Fifteen animals underwent surgical procedures for the insertion of 4 types of membranes: COL (Collagen membrane) – Control Group; BC (Biocellulose membrane); BCAg (Biocellulose membrane impregnated with Silver); PLLA (Poly (L-lactic acid) membrane). All membrane types were inserted into each animal. Animals were euthanized after 3, 7, and 15 days of the surgical procedure. Descriptive histological analyses were carried out to investigate host tissue reaction to membrane presence by assessing the anti-inflammatory process composition associated with the membrane resorption and the presence of foreign-body reaction or encapsulation. Results: The BC membranes showed a higher degree of inflammation and poor pattern of integration with the surrounding tissues than the PLLA and COL membranes. Conclusion: The PLLA and COL membranes present better biocompatibility than the BC membranes.

The article is devoted to the study of mediation strategies in the light of recent publications of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. The aim of the article is to highlight the multifunctionality of mediation strategies in teaching written speech to students of technical specialties and to consider strategies for creating secondary texts of patent documentation as a product of text mediation. The following research methods were used – critical analysis of literature sources, synthesis (mediation strategies and strategies for creating a secondary text), hypothesis (multifunctionality of mediation strategies in teaching English for professional purposes), modelling (algorithm for mediation of patent documents). Given the importance for future engineers of the skills of producing professionally oriented written speech, this study aims to identify the features of the mediation strategies multifunctionality in teaching written speech to students of technical specialties. The authors added strategies to the creation of secondary texts in the form of annotations and abstracts to the mediation of the text, which is essential in the foreign language training of future engineers. Considering the secondary text as a product of the mediation process of the primary text, the authors came to the conclusion that the latter has a three-component algorithm – reception; decoding information by summarizing it, which in terms of Common European Framework of Reference for Languages includes text processing orally and in writing, if necessary, e.g., in the submission of its own article or patent application, a written text translation, an information analysis of the original text; the text mediation product (secondary text). The research material was the texts of patent information and the tasks for the development of text mediation strategies. The authors consider examples of the mediation strategies use in the process of creating summaries to the patent text by future engineers.

Forms and methods of forming values of meaningful life in adolescents are offered in the Program for each aspect mentioned. The Program is based on the following principles: recognizing a person as the highest value; the priority of value education of adolescents; assimilation of spiritual and moral, cultural heritage of humanity; subject-subject relations of a teacher with parents as well as a teacher with children in organizing extracurricular activities; formation of positive motivation in all participants of the educational process; formation of self-regulation mechanisms of the individual; stimulating the participants of the educational process to sustainable internalization of the values of meaningful life.The Program outlines promising ideas regarding forming values for a meaningful life of adolescents, taking into account the realities of life in Ukraine (expanding the field of life meanings and their successful integration, forming the ability to navigate appropriately in various life situations, make sense of one’s behavior, define and differentiate life goals, form models of positive behavior and life goals strategies in adverse life circumstances). The program is aimed at creating favorable conditions for life creation and self-realization of a growing personality. It is based on a person’s awareness of the need for well-rounded personal development; determination of near, medium and distant perspectives and goals that would determine their life activities and behavior, as well as spiritual and moral attitude towards society, nature, and themselves; awareness of one’s own uniqueness and one’s purpose in life; creative self-realization and constant self-enhancement. The program is designed for scholars, teachers, students of institutions of higher pedagogical education as well as for pedagogical workers of institutions of general secondary education.

Published: August 2022

The benefits of the non-revolving soil system for grain cultivation are widely known. This study aims to monitor the effect of planting systems on sugarcane yield and quality, and its influences on soil nutrient contents. A study was carried out during 2019 and 2020, and compared three sugarcane planting systems based on: (i) conventional planting, (ii) reduced planting, (iii) and planting without soil disturbance. Data collections of soil and sugarcane samples (yield and quality parameters) were carried out in the first year of harvest (plant cane) and the first ratoon. Results showed that the reduced planting system promoted an increase in sugarcane yield in short term than conventional planting and planting without soil disturbance. The quality parameters of sugarcane were not affected by planting systems. More studies are requested to compare and explain the sugarcane planting systems and their effect on soil conditions, mainly in long term.

How to Vote Correctly
Authors: Bovan Kosta
Published: August 2022

The concept of correct voting, which refers to a vote that is the same one that would have been made under conditions of full information, has been used to evaluate citizens' voting decisions in various settings. Most studies either focus on determining individual and situational predictors of correct voting or determining the correctness of voting via heuristics. Since heuristics can lead to better decision outcomes than systematic processes, the goal of this study was to analyze how diﬀerent modes of decision-making strategies, as well as individual and situational characteristics, contribute to correct voting. To answer this question, an experiment was conducted in Croatia, a previously unstudied context for correct voting, in which participants gathered information on four parties in a mock election campaign. Results showed that higher political motivation and usage of compensatory decision-making strategies had a positive impact on the probability of casting a correct vote. However, direct eﬀect of cognitive load was found for participants with low levels of political motivation, for which an increase in cognitive load resulted in 25% less probability of voting correctly.
