CHALLENGES AND PROSPECTS OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT COUNCILS IN NIGERIA
Authors: Yakubu Aminu , Obadiah Titus Gandu , Abubakar Abdulrahman , Nidiya Sani Adamu
Published: December 2022

Globally, government pursued various form of public Financial Management (FM) reforms to

enhance Local Government (LG) performance. A poor FM has contributed to the failure and inefficiency of LG in achieving substantial development, while most LG faces the problems of wide gap between citizens’ needs and the financial resources. It is against this background that the study examined FM in LG with a view to determining its contribution to the economy, efficiency and effectiveness of LG administration. The study employed an exploratory research design with focus on relevant literatures. The study concluded that LG administrators should act in the same manner as their counterparts in the private sectors based on modern FM practices, this will increase efficiency, financial capability, transparency and accountability in goods and services delivery. In addition, a sound internal control system should be put in place to minimise the level of fraud, corruptions and wastages affecting LG. Besides, LG should always prepare accurate and reliable annual budget, while financial planning and control should be seen as an important aspect of an effective FM.

Published: December 2022

O objetivo deste estudo é verificar a relação entre cost drivers estruturais e os custos, representados por custos com pessoal, encargos e benefícios sociais, e pelo custo médio por aluno, em uma universidade federal brasileira. Foi realizada uma pesquisa descritiva e quantitativa com base em dados do período de 2000 a 2019, da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC), cujos resultados permitiram concluir que o número de docentes inativos é o cost driver estrutural de maior relação com os custos com pessoal, encargos e benefícios sociais; o número de alunos da educação básica é o cost driver estrutural de maior relação com o custo médio por aluno da educação básica; e o número de alunos da pós-graduação por professor é o cost driver estrutural de maior relação com o custo médio por aluno da pós-graduação. As contribuições do estudo estão relacionadas com o suprimento da lacuna existente na literatura sobre as escolhas estratégicas baseadas na estrutura econômica da organização, representadas pelos cost drivers estruturais, em instituições de ensino superior federais brasileiras, além de fornecer explicações à comunidade sobre os custos nessas instituições a partir deste caso, e permitir aos gestores universitários a compreensão das ações que podem estar ligadas ao aumento ou diminuição dos custos da universidade.
Proteção de dados, competências dos entes federativos e a Emenda Constitucional n. 115/22
Authors: Martins Ricardo Marcondes
Published: December 2022

É controversa a abrangência da Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados sobre o acesso administrativo, não empresarial, estadual e municipal a dados. Caso se admita essa abrangência, a Lei é inconstitucional. A Emenda Constitucional n. 115/22 pretendeu atribuir à União competência para disciplinar esse acesso, de modo a convalidar essa inconstitucionalidade. A diminuição da competência estadual e municipal para legislar sobre direito administrativo é inconstitucional, pois viola a cláusula pétrea da forma federativa. Superada essa tese, é inconstitucional a pretensa convalidação, efetuada por Emenda, de inconstitucionalidade de lei pretérita, por ofensa à segurança jurídica e à moralidade. Superada essa tese, há de se reconhecer a manifesta incompetência da Autoridade Nacional de Proteção de Dados tanto para exigir de Estados e Municípios que cumpram as exigências da LGPD, como, no caso de descumprimento, para sancioná-los.

SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF PARKS AS URBAN GREEN SPACE IN KHULNA CITY: AN ANALYSIS IN CONTEXT OF EQUITY PLANNING
Authors: Roy Tusar Kanti , Saroar Md Mustafa , Alam Md Ashraful
Published: December 2022

Equitable distribution of parks as urban green space over a city can provide recreational, health and environmental services to city people.  This research aims to assess the spatial distribution of parks as urban green space of Khulna City in equity planning. Primary data on existing condition of parks with facilities, user satisfaction level, improvement of existing parks, and proposals for new parks etc. are collected from questionnaire survey of 384 park users and key informants of urban planners, civil engineers and architects from Khulna Development Authority (KDA) and Khulna City Corporation (KCC), the city planning and urban service delivery government organizations. Implementation status of park proposals in 1961 and 2001 City Master Plans, and proposals in the 2018 Detailed Area Development Plan (DAP) along with relevant published research articles, reports etc. are reviewed as secondary data sources. Demand for parks is assessed through Buffer and Network analysis using GIS and also from Threshold Population analysis. Khulna, the 3rd largest industrial city of Bangladesh has about 0.7 million people in its 45.65 sq. km area. There are only 8 parks in Khulna City, most of which are small and cover only 0.15% of total KCC area. Among the 31 KCC Wards, only 7 (23%) Wards, where 27% city people live have parks. The remaining 24 (77%) Wards having 73% city people are deprived of parks. Increased urban population due to rapid urbanization is causing tremendous pressure on the existing limited number of parks. KCC and KDA have not followed equity principles while planning and implementation of park proposals. The parks are mostly found in the Wards having planned and old built-up areas. The existing parks are unable to fulfill the demand of city people. Considering the served, over served and underserved area of existing parks in a more conservative manner, a total of 14 new parks are proposed to ensure equity in planning and development of parks in Khulna City.

Published: December 2022

Community garden (CG) is a form of urban green space. It provides social, economic, health and environmental benefits to the urban people in a city. Bangladesh's third largest city is Khulna, which is dominated by agriculture, two of the Wards of this city namely Ward no. 17 and Ward no. 20 are selected as the study area for this study. In many established and developing countries, community gardening is a common feature of urban development, but it is a new concept in Bangladesh. The study aims at exploring the potentials i.e., factors or favorable reasons of introducing community gardens in Khulna City. A wide range of related literature on community gardens are reviewed. A total of 300 households of the study Wards are surveyed through semi-structured questionnaire, key informant interviews of urban planners, civil engineers, architects, agriculturist, environmentalist and sociologist are conducted with review of Khulna City master plans, and other reports and publications. The study finds that approximately 3. 67 acres and 2.43 acres land in Ward no. 17 and Ward no. 20 remain vacant respectively. Also, after knowing the pros and cons of CG, 58.33% people in Ward no. 17 and 60% people of Ward no. 20 become interested to participate in CG. If it is possible to utilize the vacant land for community gardening, community gardens on one acre land having 17 decimal or 10.30 katha land of each community garden will be capable to sequestrate about 3.5 tons of carbon per year and depending on the size and duration of rain event, will be able to hold about 2000-10000 cubic ft. of storm water per year. The study also proposes some sites for the development of community gardens in future.
Competency-Based Teaching and Learning
Authors: Polz Edda , Bećirović Senad
Published: December 2022

Although competency-based teaching and learning can be considered state of the art, it is not yet fully implemented in Austrian primary schools in regard to English as a foreign language. Furthermore, English has still to be established as a compulsory school subject in Austrian primary schools. Nevertheless, students are expected to acquire a solid foundation in the target language. To meet this requirement, a framework concept called “GK2/GK4” was developed. “GK” is the German abbreviation for „Grundkompetenzen”, meaning “basic competencies”. They provide teachers with a framework of basic linguistic and intercultural proficiencies that every student should achieve in the first two or four years of learning English at school. In addition, they are designed to facilitate the transition of students into secondary school through enhancing the quality of English teaching in primary school by supporting competency-based and result-oriented foreign language learning. In our mixed-method study, we investigated the effectiveness of GK2/GK4 in teaching English on primary level and revealed teachers’ perspectives on this framework concerning its potentials and challenges in teaching EFL. Our results demonstrated that GK2/GK4 are an effective approach for increasing students’ learning outcomes in EFL. Those students learning English with GK2/GK4 generally achieved better results than those studying English with traditional approaches. Based on the outcomes of our study, we concluded that a comprehensive utilisation of GK2/GK4 would increase the quality of primary EFL and would require measures such as the legal anchoring of English as a mandatory school subject in primary school with an assigned teaching time and grading system, the promotion of linguistic professionalization of pedagogues, the supply with appropriate teaching, as well as supervision to guide and control the implementation process.

Authors: Adegbie Festus Folajimi , Ajayi Ademola , Aguguom Theophilus Anaekenwa , Otitolaiye Emmanuel Dare
Published: December 2022

Economic diversification is a panacea for ensuring sustainable growth in developing countries. Studies have associated the problem of sustainable growth with the inability to broaden tax nets.  The lack of economic diversification and the inadequate optimal utilization of tax revenue have deepened infrastructural deficits and slowed Nigeria’s sustainable growth.   However, the extent to which diversification affects sustainable growth in Nigeria remains uncertain. Consequently, this study empirically examined the effect of economic diversification on Nigeria’s long-term growth. The ex-post facto research approach was adopted using time series data sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria's statistical bulletin. The study covered 30 years from 1990 to 2020. Descriptive and inferential statistical tools were used in analyzing the data after carrying out unit root tests for stationarity to avoid obtaining invalid and unauthentic regression estimates. The study found that the GDP growth rate exhibited a positive and significant effect on sustainable growth, (AdjR2 = 0.581, F (6, 23) = 3.4299; p-value = 0.035). Furthermore, the study revealed that infrastructural expenditure had a positive but insignificant effect on sustainable growth (AdjR2 = 0.870; F (6, 23) = 0.037; p-value = 0.421). The study concluded that diversification had a positive effect on sustainable growth in Nigeria. Based on the results, the study recommended that Nigeria should maximize its resources and diversify the economy and ensure optimal utilization of tax revenue towards sustainable growth in Nigeria.

Authors: Shen Zong-Yang
Published: December 2022

(Bi0.5Na0.5)0.65(Ba0.3Sr0.7)0.35[Ti1-x(Mg1/3Ta2/3)x]O3 (BNBST-xMT, x=0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05, 0.06) ceramics were prepared by a solid state reaction method. The effect of (Mg1/3Ta2/3)4+ complex ion doping content on the phase structure, microstructure, dielectric and energy storage properties of the ceramics was systematically investigated. It was found that the introduction of MT complex ion into the B-site of BNBST can effectively reduce the remnant polarization, thus ensuring the improvement of the energy storage properties. For BNBST-0.04MT ceramic, the optimized high energy density (Wrec=1.69 J/cm3) and efficiency (η=80%) were achieved only at a low electric field of 125 kV/cm. In addition, this ceramic sample exhibited good temperature, frequency and fatigue cycle stabilities, which was promising candidate for pulsed power capacitors.

Authors: Ghosh Tatini , Bhattacharjee Anjana
Published: December 2022

This paper attempts to identify the demographic variables that are related to suicidal ideation among adolescents in Tripura, India. Although the current literature points a grim picture of the suicide rate worldwide and in India as well, there is insufficient research in this area in India, especially in Tripura. Adding to the small body of research on suicidal ideation, the current study was conducted on a sample of 500 adolescents aged between 16 and 18 years (266 boys and 234 girls). The study found a high suicidal ideation rate of 9.6% among adolescents in Tripura, India. The gender, area of residence, substance use, and family environment of adolescents were found to have an effect on suicidal ideation. The highest rate of suicidal ideation was observed among boys (i.e. male gender), adolescents residing in urban areas, substance users, and adolescents living in a non-peaceful family environment. Community, the number of children in the family, family type, and family income were not significantly associated with suicidal ideation. Despite this, high suicidal ideation was reported by non-tribal persons, people who were an only child, nuclear families, and adolescents with a family income of 11 000 – 20 000 INR (Indian Rupees) per month.
Modern Colloquial Eastern Elamite
Authors: McAlpin David
Published: December 2022

This paper is a formal demonstration of cognation between Elamite, a major language of the ancient Near East, and Brahui, a language of Balochistan, spoken primarily in Pakistan but also in Iran and Afghanistan. It is identifying Brahui as Modern Colloquial Eastern Elamite.  Almost exactly two millennia have elapsed between the last recording of Elamite and the first recorded example of Brahui.  While closely related, Brahui is not a descendant of classical Elamite.  Rather, it is descended from an unattested eastern branch of Elamite. Part, one deals with a full statement of the Comparative Method focusing on the root syllable.  Part Two adds comparative morphology and retailed comparisons of the verb structure.

Authors: Wang Jingbo , Li Guozhen , Wang Haitao , Ma Liangzhong , Wu Wei , Wu Yunhai , Liu Jinyang , Pan Guoliang
Published: December 2022

Background and Objective: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is currently circulating worldwide. Our purpose was to describe the clinical diagnosis, treatment and outcome of severe cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Methods: In this study, we collected 86 critically ill adult patients with COVID-19 treated in ICU of Wuhan Red Cross Hospital and the Sixth People’s Hospital of Shenyang from December 24, 2019 to February 10, 2021. Patients were divided into death group and survival group. The primary endpoint is the 28-day mortality rate, and the secondary endpoints were the incidence of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and the proportion of patients requiring mechanical ventilation. Results: The average age of patients was 67.8 years, of whom 62 patients (72.1%) were male, 58 patients (67.4%) suffered from chronic diseases, and 84 patients (97.7%) had fever. The 28-day mortality rate was 53.5% (46/86 cases), and the average time from admission to ICU to clinical death was 7 days (IQR 3–11). There were 60 patients (69.7%) who occurred ARDS. There were 62 patients (72.1%) who required mechanical ventilation. And 37 patients (43.0%) received convalescent plasma treatment. Moreover, 30 patients (34.9%) were injected with tocilizumab. Conclusions: The mortality rate of critically ill patients with COVID-19 is high. The survival time of death cases is generally 1–2 weeks after entering the ICU. Old age, combined underlying diseases and ARDS are risk factors that increase the risk of death. Most critically ill patients require mechanical ventilation. Convalescent plasma and anti-IL-6 receptor monoclonal antibody may be effective immunotherapy methods.
Septic embolism in a patient with infective endocarditis and COVID-19: a case report and review of management
Authors: Wang Jingbo , Wang Haitao , Wu Wei , Suo Huijun
Published: December 2022

Background: The diagnosis and treatment of infective endocarditis (IE) is facing great challenges during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, especially in patients without valvular heart disease. Methods: The 39-year-old patient with no pertinent medical history presented with high fever for 14 days and positive nucleic acid test results for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) for 3 hours. He denied any trauma or IV drug use. Blood culture grew MRSA. CT revealed infectious metastases in spleen, liver, kidney and brain. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) was performed under safety protection finding mitral valve vegetation. His senses of smell, taste, hearing and vision were weakened temporarily. The patient was treated with daptomycin in combination with fosfomycin sodium and linezolid successively. On hospital day 10, the patient was transferred to ICU due to respiratory distress and cardiac insufficiency for 5 days with high flow oxygen noninvasive ventilation. After treatment, the patient achieved remission and was discharged from hospital. Results: We encountered a typical case of IE with multiple organ infection caused by MRSA sepsis combined with COVID-19, for which combination therapy was effective. Conclusions: Obvious risk factors of IE may be absent in many cases. A high index of suspicion is required, especially with additional findings such as embolic phenomenon, focal neurologic deficit, decompensated heart failure, or new murmurs. The purpose of this case report is to help clinicians by improving awareness of IE, particularly in patients having high suspicion despite any risk factors, during COVID-19 pandemic.

Published: December 2022

Despite multiple efforts, there exist many unsolved fundamental problems related with detection and analysis of internal polarization structure and related phase transitions in ferroelectric domain walls. Their solution can be very important for the progress in domain wall nanoelectronics and related applications in advanced memories and other information technologies. Here, we theoretically study the features of phase transitions in the domain walls, which are potentially detectable by the scanning probe capacitance microwave microscopy. The finite element modelling based on the Landau-Ginzburg-Devonshire theory is performed for the capacitance changes related with the domain wall motion in a multiaxial ferroelectric BaTiO3.
DEVELOPMENT OF COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE OF PUBLIC MANAGERS
Authors: MARENICHENKO Valerii
Published: December 2022

Summary. Problems of communication of public administration participants are typical for Ukrainian society. They are associated with a high level of public distrust in public authorities, insufficient professional level of public administration representatives, low level of coverage of the results of public administration’s interaction with the
public on social networks and websites, low level of real access to information with its publication etc. This indicates the need to create new forms of communication with open, transparent, effective and high-quality dialogue between public authorities and the public. Today more and more attention is paid to the development of features and solving problems of establishing effective communications between public authorities and the public, defining the basic principles and directions of further improvement of these communications using modern communication technologies and tools of public dialogue. The aim of the article is to study the ways of development of communicative competence of public managers. The methodological basis of the study are methods of logical generalization, systems analysis and synthesis, observation. The article identifies the key positions of the theoretical justification of the concept of competencies in public administration. The hierarchical structure of communicative competence is studied. The basic elements of the communicative process are determined. The statistical data of the manager’s time spent on the communicative process with subordinates are described. The peculiarities of the socio-psychological forecast
of the communicative situation in public administration are determined. The main functions of communication in the professional activity of the leader are investigated. The set of skills necessary for a modern leader to acquire communicative and executive skills is highlighted. It is proposed to develop the communicative potential of a modern public manager to perform on the basis of the unity of its three components: the communicative properties of personality (characterize the attitude to the way of communication, the development of the need for communication); communicative abilities (determine the activity and initiative in communication, emotional response to the state of the partner, the possibility of implementing an individual communication program); communicative competence (knowledge of norms and rules of communication, mastery of psychotechnics and technology in general).
The Metonymic Portrayal of the Miserliness Demerit: from the pre-Islamic Poets to the Umayyads as a Model
Authors: Abdulhalime Huda
Published: December 2022

This study aims to reveal the impact of non-linguistic data on the cultural and environmental levels in shaping the linguistic structure of the miserliness demerit and its artistic development. The topic is addressed owing to the technical specificity of the metonymy stemming from its association with the value system in the Arab culture. The importance of the study stems from its uniformity with the old rhetorical achievement in evoking the idea of a sequence of images and the difference in the techniques of expressing the single meaning of miserliness. Therefore, it proved the existence of this demerit in the Arab community, dealt with the specificity of metonymy, and discussed its artistic development based on the literal-figurative requirement relations. The study adopted the descriptive-analytical and historical methods to demonstrate the metonymic portrayal development in the targeted periods. The findings have revealed the metonymic portrayal response to the inputs of the Bedouin environment, especially among classic poets, and the skip of these inputs by urbanized ones. This proves that the metonymic portrayal is a metaphorical value whose core is cultural. The study recommends tackling the metonymic portrayal of other cultural values valid for artistic development and material variety.

Bu araştırmanın amacı, Avusturya’daki Türkçe öğretiminin hangi düzeyde olduğunu tespit etmektir. Çalışma, Avusturya’daki Türkçe öğretiminin bugünüyle ilgili bilgi verip sonrasında ebeveynler ve öğretmenlerin görüşlerine başvurmak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışma nitel desende tasarlanmıştır. Araştırmada veriler 10’u annelere, 14’ü ise öğretmenlere yönelik sorudan oluşan yarı yapılandırılmış bir görüşme formu ile toplanmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu Avusturya İstatistik Kurumu 2020 raporuna göre en çok ana dil derslerine katılım sağlayan şehir olan Viyana’da, çocuklarını Türkçe Ana Dili derslerine gönderen anneler ve burada görev yapan öğretmenleri oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada annelerin Türkçe ana dili derslerine kısmen ilgisiz kısmen de ana dili derslerinin geleceğinden kaygılı oldukları, bu eğitimi önemli gördükleri, ancak yeterli desteği ve ilgiyi gösteremedikleri ortaya çıkmaktadır. Öğretmenlerin ise genel itibariyle eğitim fakültesi mezunu olmadıkları, farklı bölüm çıkışlı oldukları ve bunun dışında da materyal eksikliğinin olduğuna rastlanmıştır. Bu sonuçtan hareketle annelerin Türkçe ana dili derslerinin önemini hatırlatacak bilinçlendirme seminerleri, iki dilliğin çocuklarının gelişimindeki önemine vurgu yapılması önerilmiştir. Öğretmenlere yönelik hizmet içi eğitimin artırılması, öğretmen seçiminde daha hassas davranılması gerektiği de önerilere eklenmiştir.

PAY SAHİPLERİ SÖZLEŞMELERİNDEN KAYNAKLANAN UYUŞMAZLIKLARIN ÇÖZÜMÜNDE ARABULUCULUK VE TAHKİM
Authors: Sulu Muhammed
Published: December 2022

Pay sahipleri sözleşmesi, sözleşme özgürlüğünün sınırlandırıldığı şirketler hukukundan daha serbest bir alan olan borçlar hukukuna doğru geçişi amaçlayan atipik bir sözleşmedir. Pay sahipleri sözleşmelerinden doğan uyuşmazlıklar genel itibariyle farklı menfaat ilişkilerini barındıran, girift ve uzmanlık gerektiren uyuşmazlıklar olarak kabul edildiklerinden dolayı ilgili sözleşmelerde tahkim şartına yer verildiğine sıklıkla rastlanılmaktadır. Pay sahipleri sözleşmelerinden doğan uyuşmazlıklar ile arabucululuk ve tahkim kurumlarının karşılıklı pozisyonlarının incelenmesi, ticaret hukuku, borçlar hukuku ve usul hukuku gibi farklı disiplinlerin değerlendirilmesini gerektirmektedir.
TELİF HAKLARI HUKUKU BOYUTUYLA NFT’LER
Authors: Arıkan Özgür
Published: December 2022

NFT (non-fungible tokens) terimi, misli olmayan kripto varlıkları ifade etmek için kullanılmaktadır. Son günlerde bir yatırım aracı olarak oldukça yaygın hale gelen NFT’leri kripto paralar olarak da bilinen “fungible tokens” yani misli kripto varlıklardan ayıran yönü biri diğerinin yerine geçmeyen, eşsiz kripto varlıklar olmalarıdır. Her ikisinin ortak noktası ise blokzincir teknoloji altyapısını kullanması ve transferlerinin ağ üzerinden akıllı sözleşmeler vasıtasıyla gerçekleştirilmesidir. NFT’ler için bu durum Ethereum ERC 721 standardı ile mümkün hale gelmiştir. Her ne kadar dijitalleştirilebilen her şeyden NFT meydana getirmek mümkün olsa da bu teknoloji özellikle dijital eserler için yeni bir mecra sunmaktadır. Eserlerin yaygın bir şekilde NFT meydan getirmede kullanılması ise teknolojinin fikri mülkiyet hukuku ile kesiştiği ve hukukçular tarafından da değerlendirilmesi gereken yeni bir alan ortaya çıkarmıştır. Bu çalışma, Türk fikri haklar hukuku açısından söz konusu alana ilişkin değerlendirmeler içermektedir.
"TEFECİLİK" SUÇU (TCK m. 241) AÇISINDAN GRUP İÇİ ÖDÜNÇ İŞLEMLERİ

Tüzel kişilerin, doğrudan ya da ortak veya iştirakleri vasıtasıyla dolaylı olarak ortaklık ilişkisi içinde bulundukları diğer tüzel kişilere ödünç para verme işlemlerini, açık bir düzenleme (m. 2) ile tefecilik suçu dışında bırakan 90 sayılı KHK, 13.12.2012 tarihinde yürürlüğe giren 6361 sayılı Finansal Kiralama, Faktoring ve Finansman Şirketleri Kanunu ile tamamıyla yürürlükten kaldırılmıştır. Ancak 6361 sayılı Kanun’da, tüzel kişilerin söz konusu ödünç işlemlerini açıkça tefecilik suçu kapsamı dışında bırakan (90 sayılı KHK m. 2 benzeri) herhangi bir düzenlemeye yer verilmemiş olması, grup içi ödünç işlemlerinin TCK m. 241 hükmü anlamında “tefecilik suçu” kapsamına girip girmeyeceği hususunda bir belirsizliğe yol açmıştır. Şöyle ki, TCK m. 241’de tefecilik suçunu meydana getiren fiilin “kazanç elde etmek amacıyla başkasına ödünç para vermek” olarak tasvir edilmiş olması dolayısıyla, faiz karşılığı gerçekleşen her bir grup içi ödünç işlemi, tefecilik suçu kapsamına girme riski ile karşı karşıyadır. Oysa ki, Türk özel hukuk sisteminde şirketlerin para ödüncü sözleşmesi yapmalarına hukuki bir engel bulunmadığı gibi; çeşitli kanuni düzenlemeler gereği şirketler, verdikleri ödünç karşılığında -emsallerine uygun oranda- faiz talep etme yükümlülüğü altındadırlar. Nitekim grup şirketleri, grup içi ödünç işlemlerinde faiz alınmaması halinde bu yükümlülüklerine aykırılık nedeniyle yaptırıma uğrama; faiz alınması halinde ise TCK m. 241 uyarınca tefecilik suçu kapsamında yargılanma tehlikesiyle karşı karşıyadırlar. Bu çalışmada ise, emsallerine uygun faiz karşılığı gerçekleşen grup içi ödünç işlemlerinin, birçok açıdan TCK m. 241’de düzenlenen tefecilik suçu kapsamında değerlendirilemeyeceği, ayrıntılı bir şekilde gerekçelendirilmek suretiyle açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır.
SÖZLEŞME ÖNCESİ SİGORTA ETTİRENİN BEYAN YÜKÜMLÜLÜĞÜ İLE SİGORTACININ AYDINLATMA YÜKÜMLÜLÜĞÜ ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİ
Authors: Er Sefa
Published: December 2022

Sigorta sözleşmesi, sigortanın kendine özgü münhasır özellikleri gözetildiğinde dürüstlük kurallarının ve karşılıklı güvenin daha ön planda olduğu sözleşmedir. Taraflar açısından bilinmezliklerle dolu olan sigorta sözleşmesi, ancak tarafların birbirlerini aydınlattığı ölçüde sağlıklı bir şekilde yapılabilmektedir. Her iki taraf da sözleşme öncesi aydınlatma yükümlülüğünü karşı tarafın herhangi bir talebi olmaksızın kendiliğinden yerine getirmelidir. Sigorta sözleşmelerinde tarafların birbirlerini sözleşme öncesinde aydınlatmaları, her iki taraf yönünden TTK’de özel olarak düzenlenmiştir. Sözleşme öncesinde bir tarafın aydınlatma yükümlülüğünü ihlâl etmesi halinde diğer tarafa bazı haklar tanınmış bulunmaktadır. Ancak her iki tarafın da aydınlatma yükümlülüğünü ihlâl ettiği durumlarda tarafların kendilerine tanınan bu hakları kullanıp kullanamayacağı veya ne ölçüde kullanacağı hususu açıklığa kavuşturulması gereken bir konudur. Bu durumda sigorta ettirenin beyan yükümlülüğü ile sigortacının aydınlatma yükümlülüğü arasındaki ilişkinin ortaya konulması gerekir.

Asıl dayanağının dürüstlük kuralı olduğu düşünülen sigortacının aydınlatma yükümlülüğü, 6102 Sayılı Türk Ticaret Kanunu (TTK)’da somut olarak düzenlenerek normatif bir kural olma özelliğini kazanmıştır. Çok teknik bir sözleşme tipi olan sigorta sözleşmelerinde, sigortacının güçlü konumu sebebiyle, sigorta ettireni koruma güdüsüyle hareket eden kanun koyucu, bilgilendirme yükümlülüğüne ilişkin kuralları da belirlemiştir. Ayrıca bu yükümlülüğün şekil ve içeriğini belirleyecek yönetmelik çıkarmak hususunda da idareye açıkça yetki vermiştir. Bunun yanında söz konusu yükümlülüğe aykırı davranılması halinde oluşacak hukuki sonuç da TTK’da düzenlenmiş olup bu düzenleme doktrinde ulaşılmak istenen amaca yeterince uygun olmadığı gerekçesiyle eleştirilmiştir. Sigortacının aydınlatma yükümlülüğüne aykırı davranması halinde ortaya çıkacak olan hukuki sonucun kanun ve yönetmelikte farklı düzenlenmesi, uygulamada karışıklığa yol açmakta ve farklı mahkemelerde birbirlerine uyumlu olmayan kararlar verilmektedir. İşbu çalışmada, sigortacının aydınlatma yükümlülüğüne aykırı davrandığı bir olay hakkında verilen mahkeme kararı incelenmiş ve mahkemenin verdiği karar hukuki açıdan değerlendirilmiştir.
