Authors: Khairanisa Nadila , Aulia Siska , Yusnita Sri , Yulindon Yulindon
Published: December 2023

The Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) serves as a comparative measure between transmitter and receiver voltages, impacting site transmit power. VSWR values at a Radio Base Station (RBS) are evident in feeder cable losses, jumpers, combiners, and radio antenna losses. This study aims to assess the impact of poor VSWR values on BTS transmit power and perform troubleshooting analysis on 4G signal quality and Coverage Area. The study commenced with a literature review and VSWR measurements in the Gurun Laweh Aia Pacah region. The process involved identifying VSWR issues at the BTS site, conducting a Drive Test using pocket Tems, and troubleshooting the VSWR problem. Drive Test findings encompassed areas with weak signals, BTS site data, and problematic spots. The analysis utilized applications like Tems Discovery and MapInfo Pro. Results along the Gurun Laweh Aia Pacah road showed signal strength affected by a high VSWR value of 1.6. RSRP data rated 50% in the good category, SINR at 31% in the good category, and throughput at 5% in the good category. Elevated VSWR values diminish signal range, subsequently impacting traffic metrics. Immediate VSWR troubleshooting becomes imperative; low VSWR promotes higher transmit power efficiency, while normal VSWR ensures optimal transmit power efficiency.

Legal certainty in the area of geothermal energy exploitation is very important to ensure the sustainability of geothermal operations in Indonesia. One interesting case to be analyzed is the joint operation contract in the Dieng and Patuha areas. Legal certainty regarding geothermal licensing in these areas has a significant impact on investment and the development of geothermal technology in Indonesia. This study aims to find out the legal status of the Decree of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources No. 2789 K/30/MEM/2012 and Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Decree No. 2192K/30/MEM/2014 reviewed with the licensing theory and legal certainty theory. This study uses a normative legal method with a juridical-normative approach. The results found that the legal product from the geothermal authority in the form of a Decree of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources concerning Affirmation of the Working Area for Geothermal Resources Concession has an impact on the absence of legal certainty even though the existing regulations are sufficient to regulate geothermal permits. This should be an urgency to implement laws that apply as a form of guaranteeing absolute legal certainty.

Meshless Large-Eddy Simulation of Propeller–Wing Interactions with Reformulated Vortex Particle Method
Authors: Alvarez Eduardo J. , Ning Andrew
Published: December 2023

The vortex particle method (VPM) has gained popularity in recent years due to a growing need to predict complex aerodynamic interactions during the preliminary design of electric multirotor aircraft. However, VPM is known to be numerically unstable when vortical structures break down close to the turbulent regime. In recent work, the VPM has been reformulated as a large-eddy simulation (LES) in a scheme that is both meshless and numerically stable without increasing its computational cost. In this study, we build upon this meshless LES scheme to create a solver for interactional aerodynamics. Propeller blades are introduced through an actuator line model following well-established practices for LES. A novel, vorticity-based actuator surface model (ASM) is developed for wings, which is suitable for propeller–wing interactions when a wake impinges on the surface of a wing. This ASM imposes the no-flow-through condition at the airfoil centerline by calculating the circulation that meets this condition and by immersing the associated vorticity in the LES following a pressure-like distribution. Extensive validation of propeller–wing interactions is presented by simulating a tailplane with tip-mounted propellers and a blown wing with propellers mounted midspan.

Authors: Suthar Rushabh Bhikhabhai , Thakkar Tejas , Goswami Gaurav , Shukla Yashasvi
Published: December 2023

Idiopathic chondrolysis of the hip (ICH) is a rare debilitating disease that results in articular cartilage loss in proximal femoral epiphysis and acetabulum; in the absence of a history of trauma, slipped capital femoral epiphysis, Perthe’s disease, prolonged immobilization, and infective/inflammatory joint diseases or malignancies. The diagnosis of chondrolysis of the hip is usually delayed due to the gradual onset of symptoms, initial normal radiographs, and the absence of specific diagnostic laboratory tests. Magnetic resonance imaging is the gold standard for the early diagnosis and grading of disease. ICH is often reversible with non-surgical management such as rest, alleviation of pain, and avoidance of weight-bearing. The clinical details and imaging appearance of this uncommon disease are discussed here.
Labor Supply in the Labor Market of the Northern Region of Resource Type: the Case of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)
Authors: Postnikova K. Yu.
Published: December 2023

Studying the labor market of Yakutia is impossible without its two components: demand and supply for labor. The study of the dynamics of labor supply is based on a generalization of materials from the population census 2010 Russian Census and 2020 Russian Census, as well as official statistics. The analysis is based primarily on the quantification of labor supply. The results of the study showed insufficient attention to the study of the labor market of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) at the municipal level. Calculations of the level of labor force participation as an indicator characterizing labor supply revealed a significant decrease during the period between the last two censuses in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) at the municipal level. The factors that have the greatest impact on this situation were selected, which also require a more detailed study. Among the factors we can note decreased production volumes, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, an aging population, and the increasing influence of intraregional migration. Indirectly, the decrease in the labor force participation rate confirms the fall in median per capita income and modal average per capita income for 2015-2021 in comparable prices by 2010, which more accurately demonstrate the low standard of living of the majority of the region’s population, in contrast to average per capita cash income. At the same time, the reduction in the labor force imbalance was undoubtedly influenced by the decrease in the unemployment rate. In the future, it is necessary to focus on a more detailed description of the labor reserve, as well as on the formation of high-quality labor costs at the municipal level. In addition, the study of imbalances in the labor market is impossible without the demand for the labor force, its other component.
Informal Intercultural Communication: Problematic Issues
Authors: Koriakina A. A.
Published: December 2023

Globalization is an integral feature of modern social reality, which entails a high level of cultural interpenetration. It causes long-term migration of the population and becomes an important factor in intercultural changes. This is a complex process that changes socio-cultural identity and poses a challenge to the well-being of the population, sustainable regional development, and the viability of cultural heritage. This specificity of the situation gives rise to the need to update intercultural policy, with an emphasis on informal intercultural communication in civil society, which can serve as a response to the challenges of ethnic diversity. This article examines the main problems of informal intercultural communication and proposes approaches to solving them to increase sustainability in civil society in the context of sociocultural changes. The results of the study support the idea that increasing the effectiveness of informal intercultural communication can be achieved through the use of appropriate approaches to solving communication problems. Based on the results obtained, prospects for solving problems of interethnic disagreements in modern conditions of new global threats and challenges will be shown.
Desire to Migrate in Young People in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) in 2023
Authors: Nikolaeva Y. A. , Borisova U. S.
Published: December 2023

In recent years, there has been an alarming trend in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia): an increased number of people leaving the region, seeking to create their future in other countries and regions of Russia. This phenomenon is due not only to the “demographic hole of the 1990s”, but also to the large-scale migration of young people both within the country and abroad. The population decline in Yakutia has deep roots. The outflow of young people from rural areas to cities, and then from smaller cities to large centers, is a phenomenon characteristic not only of the region, but also of the whole of Russia and even the world community. Reflecting those who have already made the move, statistics do not cover those who are just thinking about such a step. An online survey conducted in October 2023 via Google Forms (N=239) allows us to draw attention to the desire of a certain group of Yakut residents to move in order to achieve greater opportunities for career growth, increased income, and self-realization. This approach allows us to identify not only those who have already changed their place of residence, but also those who are considering such a prospect. A comprehensive analysis of migration processes in Yakutia requires not only consideration of current statistical data, but also attention to the preliminary motivations and intentions of those who have not yet taken the decisive step in terms of moving. This will help to better understand the factors influencing the migration mood of the population and develop effective strategies to strengthen people’s ties with their home region.

Published: December 2023

In recent years, research has become relevant related to the introduction into practice of a new tool for legitimizing professional qualifications for Russia and increasing the effectiveness of processes for ensuring the country’s economy with qualified personnel. To solve this issue, organizations have been created designed to form an objective and transparent procedure for voluntary assessment of qualifications, which is guaranteed to confirm the qualification of a specialist with established requirements and standards – these are centers for assessing qualifications. Meanwhile, the prospects for the development of the integration of tools for independent assessment of qualifications into the educational process of Universities with the strengthening of the role of interaction The employer university is currently obvious. First, the successful completion of an independent qualification assessment increases the competitiveness of graduates in the labor market. Secondly, employers get the opportunity to form an order for training specialists and save on the costs associated with additional training of staff. Thirdly, for the University, an independent assessment of the qualification of a graduate is a source of revers communication necessary to improve the quality of educational programs and develop interaction with employers. The relevance of the research topic is caused by the choice of the optimal option for applying an independent assessment of qualifications in the education system ‒ combining the procedure for the final certification of students and a professional exam. The purpose of the study is to reveal the experience of implementing an independent assessment of qualifications at the University, to identify key problems and ways of further development. The authors believe that the introduction of the GIA-NOC procedure in educational activities will lead to the quality of educational results for students and graduates.
Resource Potential of the Oil and Gas Complex of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) and Its Development Prospects
Authors: Nikiforova V. V.
Published: December 2023

Abstract. In recent years, the Russian oil and gas complex has been undergoing sanctions and restrictions related to the political situation in the country and in the world, which negatively affects the economic development of the country. The consequences of sanctions include: disruption of logistics of export supplies of oil and gas raw materials, replacement of Russian hydrocarbons with supplies from other countries, reduction of foreign investment and participation of foreign companies in Russian oil and gas projects, restriction of imports for the supply of equipment and technologies, etc. First of all, these problems cause the need to expand sales markets and build new production and logistics chains, replacing imported equipment and technologies with domestic ones. In order to solve the difficult economic relations that have arisen with the EU countries, it is proposed to redirect the market for oil and gas raw materials towards Asian countries. In this regard, the study of oil and gas resources of the Far East, including the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) is a very relevant task. The purpose of this article is to identify the level of availability of mineral resources of the oil and gas complex. The object of the study is the oil and gas complex of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia): industrial balance reserves and forecast resources of oil and gas fields in the region, and the main subsurface users of oil and gas fields. The subject of the study is the analysis and assessment of the state of the mineral resource base of the oil and gas resources of the region and the prospects for its development. Based on the analysis of the current state of the potential of the oil and gas resources of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), as well as a review of the global oil and gas market, promising directions for the development of the regional oil and gas complex are identified in the article.

Background and Aim: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a condition where the kidneys gradually lose their ability to function properly over time. It is into stages based on the severity of kidney damage and the level of kidney function. The objective of our study is to employ machine learning models for the prediction of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) progression. Methods: Our study is centered on the prediction of CKD progression from mild (I, II, III) to advanced stages (IV, V, VI). We utilized logistic regression with a lasso-penalized approach and random forest model for our predictive analysis. We assessed the significance of features using the Gini index derived from the random forest model. The performance of our models was evaluated based on the Area Under Receiver Operating Characteristic (AU-ROC), AU-Precision-Recall (PR) curves, recall, precision and accuracy. Results: Our study showcases remarkable predictive performance of CKD progression from milder (I, II, III) to severe stages (IV, V, VI). Random forest model achieved an accuracy of 85%, a recall rate of 86%, a precision rate of 83%, an AU-ROC score of 92%, and an AU-PR score of 83%. The logistic regression model exhibited an accuracy of 84%, a recall rate of 84%, a precision rate of 85%, an AU-ROC score of 92%, and an AU-PR score of 81%. Regarding variable importance, our model identifies creatinine as the most critical feature, followed by eGFR. Conclusion: Our findings indicate that machine learning models hold promise in predicting CKD progression with substantial discriminative capabilities, as evidenced by high AUROC curves. This suggests their potential utility in real-world clinical settings for identifying patients at risk of transitioning from mild to severe stages of CKD.
Pull-down assay coupled to non-target mass spectrometry analysis as a tool to identify unknown endocrine disruptive transthyretin ligands in waste and surface water

Published: December 2023

Surface and treated wastewaters are contaminated with highly complex mixtures of micropollutants, which may cause adverse effects on aquatic biota or humans, often mediated by endocrine disruption. However, there is very limited knowledge regarding some important modes of action, such as interference with thyroid hormone (TH) regulation and the compounds driving these effects. The effects of environmental samples observed in bioassays addressing various endpoints in the endocrine, namely thyroid hormone pathways, remain largely unexplained with known active chemicals. Transthyretin (TTR) is a serum transport protein distributing thyroid hormones to target tissues in vertebrates; its binding inhibition by xenobiotics may lead to adverse effects such as impaired (neuro)development. In this study, we describe a novel approach for the identification of compounds with the potential to bind to TTR, based on the specific separation of these compounds in a pull-down assay followed by non-target analysis (NTA). The pull-down assay using purified TTR protein was established and optimized with known TTR ligands. The method was applied to separate and identify compounds responsible for TH displacing activity in highly complex wastewater and surface water samples. The samples after the pull-down assay elicited TH displacing activity and the specific separation of TTR ligands provided a substantial reduction of chromatographic features from the original complex water extract. The applied non-target screening workflow resulted in the identification of 34 structures. Thirteen identified compounds with available analytical standards were quantified in the original water extracts and their TH-displacement potency was confirmed. Twelve compounds were discovered as TTR binders for the first time and linear alkylbenzene sulfonates (LAS) were highlighted as contaminants of concern regarding the TH-displacement activity. Pull-down assay combined with NTA proved to be a well-functioning approach for the identification of bioactive compounds in complex environmental mixtures with great application potential across various biological target endpoints and environmental compartments.

Authors: Chen Li Ming , Shin Chung Keun , Delano Travis , Reisman Sarah
Published: December 2023

An asymmetric Ni-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling of ⍺-substituted imides and (hetero)aryl halides has been developed to synthesize enantioenriched ⍺-aryl imides, a commonly found structural motif in bioactive molecules and proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) designed for targeted protein degradation (TPD). Employing a two-strategy approach with judiciously designed functional group pairings of the electrophiles allows for the coupling of either electron-rich or electron-deficient aromatics and heteroaromatics in good yields and enantioselectivities.

Published: December 2023

Dinuclear ruthenium paddlewheel complexes exhibit high structural stability against redox reactions. The use of these chemical motifs for the construction of Ru-based metal-organic polyhedral (RuMOPs) provides a route for redox-active porous materials. However, there are few studies on the synthesis and characterization of RuMOPs due to the difficulty of controlling the assembling process via the ligand-exchange reaction of equatorial acetates of the diruthenium tetraacetate precursors with dicarboxylic acid ligands. In this study, we synthesized three novel cuboctahedral RuMOPs based on the Ru2(II/III)-paddlewheel units with different alkyl functionalizations on the benzene-1,3-dicarboxylate moieties. We evaluated the effect of the external functionalization on the molecular packing and the porous and redox properties. The electrochemical measurements revealed the multi-electron transferred redox process where the electron donating/withdrawing nature of the functional groups allows the control of the redox behavior.

Published: December 2023

There is an urgent need for new antibiotics. FabF (3-oxoacyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] synthase 2), which catalyses the rate limiting condensation reaction in the fatty acid synthesis II pathway, is an attractive target. Very few inhibitors of FabF are known and most are derived from natural products. In an effort to further explore the chemical space of FabF ligands, we have carried out fragment screening by X-ray crystallography against an intermediated state-mimicking variant of P. aeruginosa FabF (PaFabF C164Q). This screen has screen resulted in 16 hits binding in or close to the malonyl-CoA or fatty acid binding site or an adjacent dimer interface. More than 80 analogues of the hit compounds have been explored making use of either commercially available or synthesised compounds. For 8 of those co-crystal structures could be determined and the most potent ligand has a binding affinity of 65 µM. This data package forms a strong foundation for the development of more potent and diverse FabF inhibitors.

Bayesian eikonal tomography using Gaussian processes
Authors: Muir Jack
Published: December 2023

Eikonal tomography has become a popular methodology for deriving phase velocity maps from surface wave phase delay measurements. Its high efficiency makes it popular for handling datasets deriving from large-N arrays, in particular in the ambient-noise tomography setting. However, the results of eikonal tomography are crucially dependent on the way in which phase delay measurements are predicted from data, a point which has not been thoroughly investigated. In this work, I provide a rigorous formulation for eikonal tomography using Gaussian processes (GPs) to smooth observed phase delay measurements, including uncertainties. GPs allow the posterior phase delay gradient to be analytically derived. From the phase delay gradient, an excellent approximate solution for phase velocities can be obtained using the saddlepoint method. The result is a fully Bayesian result for phase velocities of surface waves, incorporating the nonlinear wavefront bending inherent in eikonal tomography, with no sampling required. The results of this analysis imply that the uncertainties reported for eikonal tomography are often underestimated.

Authors: Almubark Rasha A. , Alqahtani Saleh A.
Published: December 2023

Background: Prevalence estimates for overweight and obesity in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, including Saudi Arabia, have increased over the last 4 decades. Although the World Health Organization encourages countries to implement initiatives aimed at controlling obesity, limited research has been published on the impact of such initiatives in Saudi Arabia. Aims: To assess the epidemiology of overweight and obesity in Saudi Arabia, describe and evaluate the effectiveness of past and current interventions, and recommend actions for prevention and control. Methods: A narrative review of data from the Global Health Observatory was used to determine yearly estimates of prevalence of overweight and obesity in Saudi Arabia from 1975 to 2016. Large-scale interventions aimed at controlling obesity and its risk factors in Saudi Arabia were identified and summarized. Results: Prevalence estimates of overweight and obesity among men and women in Saudi Arabia continued to increase from 1990 to 2019. Prevalence among adults was more than 60% and among children and adolescents it was 20–60%, suggesting a continuing trend. Interventions were identified but their impact on the prevention and control of obesity and its risk factors was unclear. Conclusion: Prevalence estimates of overweight and obesity have been steadily increasing in Saudi Arabia since 1975. Integrated, “whole-of-community” approach, with continuous evaluation, is needed to achieve sustainable prevention and control of obesity in the country.

Published: December 2023

Background: Scorpionism (scorpion sting envenoming) is an endemic public health concern in many Arab Middle Eastern countries. However, our knowledge of the epidemiology of scorpion stings in the West Bank is limited. Aim: To investigate the epidemiology of scorpion stings in 4 districts of the West Bank over a specified period. Methods: We obtained scorpion sting records from the main hospitals in 4 districts of the West Bank for 2012 and 20142020. A total of 2175 cases were analyzed retrospectively using SPSS version 17. Results: The average age and standard deviation (±SD) for both sexes was 24.7±17.5 years (22.7±16.5 and 27.1±18.4 years for males and females, respectively). The median age was 20 years and 47.2% were children under 18 years. Most cases were reported during the summer months, between June and October, with a peak in July–August. By anatomic site, the right hand was the most commonly stung in both sexes, followed by the right foot. The chest, buttocks and scrotum were the least affected body parts. Clinical data were available for 405 cases, in which pain, vomiting and sweating were the most common symptoms. The overall incidence of stings was 26.32 per 100 000 inhabitants per year over the study period of 8 years (59.21–171.67, 95% CI). Conclusion: Scorpion stings are commonly encountered by adults and children in the West Bank. There is a need for awareness among the West Bank populations on how to avoid being stung, to train medical staff to better manage sting cases, and to evaluate the antivenom currently being used by physicians for scorpion stings.

Background: Several studies have suggested that sleep disorders have adverse effects on blood pressure. However, the findings remain controversial and only a few studies have investigated the association between sleep duration and hypertension among all age and sex subgroups. Aim: To evaluate the dose-response association between sleep duration and blood pressure in the Iranian population using the Ravansar non-communicable disease cohort study. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of 9865 participants aged 35–65 years from the 2014–2017 Ravansar noncommunicable disease cohort study. Night sleep duration was classified as ≤5 hours, 6 hours, 7 hours, 8 hours, 9 hours, and ≥10 hours. The association between self-reported sleep duration and hypertension was examined using multivariable logistic regression in STATA version 14. Restricted cubic spline analysis showed the dose-response association between sleep duration and hypertension. Results: The age-adjusted prevalence of hypertension was 16.50% among men, 24.20% among women and 20.50% in the total population. Compared with reference sleep duration (7 hours) in the total population, the multivariable odds ratio [OR (95% CI)] for hypertension was 0.70 (0.55–0.88) for the group with 9 hours sleep duration and 0.90 (0.74–1.09) for the group with ≤5 hours sleep duration. Among pre-menopausal women, we observed an inverse association between 9 hours sleep duration and hypertension [0.62 (0.42–0.90)]. The age-adjusted cubic spline suggested a linear inverse association between sleep duration and prevalence of hypertension among men and the total population and a non-linear association among women. Conclusion: Longer sleep duration (from 9 hours) had a negative association with hypertension. Further studies are needed to identify the risk factors associated with sleep duration and hypertension among the general population in the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Osmanlı’dan Cumhuriyete yöneticiler politik-ekonomik devrimlerle birlikte kültürel alanda da ciddi değişikliklere gitmiştir. Osmanlı devletinin askeri ve ekonomik alandaki geri çekilişini engellemeyi hedefleyen Osmanlı bürokrasisi kültürel alanda da reform çabalarına girişmiştir. Cumhuriyet ile birlikte kültürel alana dönük bu değişim arzusu daha güçlü bir dönüşüme evrilmiştir. Bu açıdan Cumhuriyet yönetiminin hedefi, Osmanlı’dan farklı olarak sadece batılılaşmaya dönük bir perspektife dayanmamaktadır. Cumhuriyetin başlıca hedefi, semboller ve temsiller üzerinden yeni bir ulus inşası olmuştur. Cumhuriyet kadrolarının batılılaşmanın sembolik görünümlerinin özümsenmesi noktasında duyduğu isteğin temelinde de bu ulus devlete uygun makbul vatandaşın yaratılması arzusu yatmaktadır. Diğer taraftan ötekiye (batı) karşı duyulan güvensizliğin de bu arzunun oluşumunda önemli rolü vardır. Çünkü Osmanlı daha sonra da Cumhuriyetin temel ötekisi olan batı karşısında kendisini kabul ettirme isteği, kendisini en çok hayat tarzları üzerinden ortaya koymuştur. Bu kapsamda çalışmanın amacı Osmanlı’dan Cumhuriyete uzanan bir süreklilikte mekân ve kıyafet tercihlerindeki değişikliklerin sosyolojik arka planını ve bu dönüşmelerin temel hedefine zemin oluşturan politik arketipi incelemektir. Ayrıca erkek ve kadın kıyafetlerindeki değişim ile kadının sosyo-politik bir özne olarak Cumhuriyet devrimleri açısından taşıdığı önem de çalışmada değerlendirilmiştir. Son tahlilde mekân ve kıyafet tercihlerinin hem bir etkileneni hem de bir etkileyeni olarak özellikle İstanbul ve Ankara gibi şehirlerde ortaya çıkan yeni asrı hayatın ve modanın izlerini takip eden bu çalışma, Cumhuriyetin ilk on yılında Türkiye’deki hayat tarzlarının kültürel ve siyasal alandaki etkisini açığa çıkarmayı hedeflemiştir.
Sivil Toplumun Kavramsal Analizi ve Türkiye’deki İzdüşümü

Sivil toplum kavramı özellikle 20. yüzyılın ikinci yarısından sonra sosyal bilimlerde yıldızı parlayan bir kavram halini almıştır. Bunun önemli sebeplerinden biri, 1950’li yılların sonunda ortaya çıkan ‘yeni sosyal hareketler’ iken diğeri orta sınıflaşma ve demokratik yönetimlerin tüm dünya üzerinde ön plana çıkmasıdır. Demokratik yönetimler katılımcılık ve gönüllülüğü teşvik ederek sivil toplumun gelişmesine katkı sunarlar çünkü sivil toplum devlet örgütlenmesi dışında bireylerin kendi iradeleriyle kurdukları örgütlenmeleri ifade eder. Sivil toplum farklı dönemlerde faklı anlamlara sahip olarak muğlak bir geçmişe sahip olsa da bugün daha çok gönüllülük, kamusal tartışma, örgütlenebilme özgürlüğü, dernekli toplum gibi anlamlara karşılık gelmektedir. Sivil toplumun Batı’daki bu gelişim sürecinden ayrı olarak Türkiye gibi Osmanlı geçmişinde merkezi gücün bireysel özgürlük alanlarını içine alan ve devlet örgütlenmesi dışında yer alan alternatif örgütlenmeleri merkezi devlet yapısı için bir tehdit olarak algılayan siyasi kültürde sivil toplumun ortaya çıkması ve gelişmesi oldukça zor olmuştur. Türkiye’deki sivil toplum tartışmaları Türkiye’nin siyasi kültürü, sınıfsal ve idari yapısı ile birlikte ele alınarak tartışılır. Bu tartışmalarda birçok farklı görüşe sahip olanların mutabık olduğu konu, özellikle 1980’lerden sonra Türkiye’de sivil toplumun geliştiği yönündedir. Bu çalışma da bu gelişim seyrini tarihi bir perspektiften farklı dönemleri ele almakta ve değişimin ne yönde cereyan ettiğini ortaya çıkarmayı denemektedir.

In the study, the concept of innovation, which is an important phenomenon in the process of economic growth and development, has been analyzed. This study aims to reveal the relationship between innovation, which is an important factor in economic development and growth, and research and development expenditures. In the study, an econometric model was established in order to determine the effect of research and development expenditures on innovation. In this model, the number of domestic patent applications was taken to represent innovation as the dependent variable. As independent variables; R&D expenditures and gross capital data were used. Panel data analysis was conducted for the sample of 35 countries, covering the period 2000-2019. The country sample was formed from among the top 49 countries whose data is available in the 2022 global innovation index ranking.

In the analysis, it has been concluded that R&D expenditures have a significant positive effect on innovation. The gross capital variable, on the other hand, negatively affects the patent variable, which represents innovation. In the study, it was concluded that R&D expenditures have a significant positive effect on innovation. In order to increase innovation, countries should first allocate more resources to research and development activities.
Akıllı Kent Vizyonunda Yönetişimden E-Yönetişime Bir Örnek: E-Belediye Uygulaması

Published: December 2023

Kentler ilk ortaya çıktığı günden bugüne kadar tarihsel süreç içerisinde birçok gelişmeden oldukça derinden etkilenmiş ve bu etkilerle yeni özelliklere kavuşmuştur. Günümüzde kentleri derinden etkileyen, büyük bir değişim ve dönüşüm sürecine girmesine neden olan en önemli gelişme ise bilgi iletişim teknolojilerinin baş döndürücü bir hızda gelişiyor olmasıdır. Bu gelişim kentleri fiziksel, sosyal, ekonomik, kültürel, hukuki alanlar başta olmak üzere tüm noktalarında değişimi gerektirmiştir. Öyle ki kent sakinlerinin ihtiyaç, talep ve beklentileri buna bağlı olarak bu ihtiyaç ve beklentileri karşılamakla yükümlü en temel ve kent sakinlerine en yakın kamu örgütlenmesi olan yerel yönetim birimi belediyelerde yapısında, teşkilatında, iş ve eylemlerinde, süreçlerinde ve daha birçok konuda değişim ve dönüşüm süreci içine girmiştir. Gelişen bilgi iletişim teknolojilerini, kent sakinlerinin ihtiyaçlarını gidermek, kent sorunlarını çözmek gibi kente dair her konuda kullanılması anlayışı gereği daha önceki dönemlerde yönetişim olarak adlandırılan yeni yönetim anlayışının yerini e-yönetişim kavramına bırakmıştır. Yönetim olgusunun bu tarihsel değişiminde e-yönetişim anlayışının en önemli uygulamalarından bir e-belediye uygulamasıdır. Çalışmanın konusu hem kent hem de yönetim olgusunun tarihsel süreçte nasıl bir değişim göstererek günümüzde kazandığı yeni anlamları incelemektir. Çalışmanın amacı ise bir süreç içeren kent ve yönetim olgusunda yeni kent modeli akıllı kentlerde yeni yönetim anlayışı e-yönetişimin bir uygulama aracı olan e-belediyecilik uygulamasını inceleyerek bilgi iletişim teknolojilerinin etkilerini açık bir şekilde görebilmektir. Yöntem olarak literatür taramasının kullanıldığı çalışmada elde edilen verilen sonucunda görülmektedir ki e-belediye uygulaması belediyelerin yalnızca resmi bir web sitesi kurup bu site üzerinden kent sakinlerine yerel kamusal hizmetler vermesi değil aynı zamanda teknolojik gelişmelerin hayatlarımız için ne kadar önemli bir rol oynadığını ve bu gelişmelerin kamu yönetimi süreçlerine entegre edilmesi gerektiği bu süreçte yalnızca bir web sayfası ile değil öncelikle bu gelişmelere açık bir zihniyet yapısı oluşturmak daha sonra gereken hukuki altyapı oluşturulup devamında uygulamaları hayata geçirmek gerekmektedir.
