Sediment transport in rivers is not uniform through time. Highly intermittent systems, which only transport bedload during the most significant flow events, are particularly sensitive to changes in climate and precipitation patterns. Quantifying river intermittency is critical for assessing how fluvial landscapes will respond to projected changes in precipitation extremes due to climate change, and due to the vulnerability of landscapes and people to fluvial processes. Here, we generate new constraints on recent to modern fluvial intermittency factors – the frequency at which bedload is mobilized in a river – based on field measurements in the Gulf of Corinth, Greece, and Holocene sediment accumulation rates. Results reveal some of the lowest documented intermittency factors to-date, showing Mediterranean rivers can transport their entire annual sediment budget in a rare storm event. Coupling intermittency calculations with historical flood and precipitation data indicates rivers in this environment are dominated by bedload transport during one storm every c. 4 years, associated with rainfall > 50 mm/d and subsequent floods; this hydroclimate is typical of the Mediterranean. Furthermore, climate models predict precipitation extremes will increase across Europe, and the frequency of events that surpass thresholds of sediment transport will increase non-linearly, potentially causing sediment budgets to double by 2100. As the global area of arid land likely to host intermittent rivers also increases, intermittency-dominated landscapes are on the edge of significant geomorphic change, driven by global warming.
Against Unconscious Mental Imagery in Aphantasia
Authors: Liu Jianghao , Scholz Christian Oliver , Monzel Merlin
Published: February 2025

Aphantasia is defined as the absence (or near-absence) of imagery, most commonly in but not necessarily limited to the visual modality (Zeman et al. 2025). While the neural and cognitive underpinnings of aphantasia remain hotly debated (see Zeman, 2024 for a recent review), a proposal that has recently gained attention is that people with aphantasia may have unconscious mental imagery (Nanay, 2021; Michel et al. 2025), meaning that despite lacking the experience associated with imagery, they may still possess the relevant neural activity. A recent CB article by Chang and colleagues (2025) reported finding “imageless imagery” in aphantasic subjects, thus seemingly supporting this view. However, we argue here that the representations found in aphantasic subjects by Chang and colleagues (2025), as well as in other studies (e.g., Liu et al., 2025), should not be viewed as unconscious imagery because they fail to show the perception-like pattern usually associated with mental imagery.

Insomnia and emotion dysregulation are intricately related, yet their aggregate association across different domains of emotion dysregulation and the effect of moderating factors including health-related status, age, and gender remain unclear. This meta-analysis synthesized data from 57 studies, pooling 119 effect sizes from correlational and 55 effect sizes from group comparison studies. By separate analyses, we assessed both the strength of the association and whether clinically significant insomnia symptoms exacerbate difficulty in regulating emotion. Correlational analyses revealed a significant association between insomnia symptoms and emotion dysregulation, primarily in individuals with serious health-related conditions (Fisher Zno-serious condition = 0.22, Fisher Zserious-conditions = 0.37, p < 0.00001). Group comparison analyses indicated that clinically significant insomnia symptoms worsen emotion dysregulation regardless of health-related status (Hedges’ g = 0.99, p = 0.01). The reliance on maladaptive emotion regulation strategies and difficulties in dispositional domains of emotion regulation, particularly impulsivity, were more strongly associated with insomnia than challenges related to adaptive strategies. Age and gender did not impact these associations in either type of study. These findings underscore a robust link between insomnia and emotion dysregulation, suggesting the potential benefits of integrating emotion regulation skills into insomnia management to improve therapeutic outcomes.

Practitioner Review: caregiver-infant relationship difficulties and intervention in infancy
Authors: Smith Celia , Vaillaincourt Kyla , Somers Jennifer , Necef Isil , Minnis Helen , Ibrahim Jeyda , Wass Sam
Published: February 2025

The infant-caregiver relationship is foundational to early development. Early atypical development can lead to long-term developmental cascades that cause later-life behavioural, emotional, and cognitive difficulties. Here, we focus on co-regulation – i.e., dynamic processes of mutual adaptation that underpin the caregiver-child relationship - during the 0-3 years age range. We explore the practical relevance of understanding co-regulation for intervention by pinpointing key mechanisms of change that drive the effectiveness of interventions. We discuss how mutual adaptation can be both beneficial (as it helps children to achieve and maintain an optimal, ‘critical’ state and fosters bio-behavioural synchrony) and detrimental (as short-term stress cycles can be dynamically reinforced across the dyad, and atypical long-term rhythms in one partner can progressively influence the other partner over time). We review how these principles are applied in current interventions, such as Circle of Security Parenting (COS-P), Video Interaction Guidance (VIG), Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), and Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP). We discuss under-explored areas that could be targeted in future intervention research. We highlight that child-caregiver relationships have been extensively studied at short-interval timescales - from seconds to minutes - in both naturalistic and controlled settings, and that most interventions focus on this timescale. There remains, though, a lack of quantitative data on how short-term interactions influence longer-term relationship dynamics over days, weeks and months, and this area is relatively under-explored in intervention research.
Prevalence and Predictors of Physical and Sexual Violence among Women in Nepal
Authors: Sharma Tilak Prasad
Published: February 2025

This article analyses the incidence and factors associated with physical and sexual violence against women in the age group of 15–49 years in Nepal, based on the Nepal Demographic and Health Survey 2022. Despite the increase in the literature, it is justified that violence affects the well-being and socio-economic development of people in many areas globally. This paper incorporates demographic factors which are explained from both the social and the feminist theoretical perspectives. In the present study, based on the cross-sectional data, the factors including age, marital status, education, wealth and the region were established as significant logistic regression analysis predictors. The sample was selected from women aged between 15 and 49 years old, and methods of stratification and weighting were followed to make the sample more representative. The findings suggest 22.5 percent women faced physical violence starting from the age of 15 and 7.5 percent women reported lifetime sexual violence. Older women aged 35 and above years old and women who have been divorced, separated or widowed were at a higher risk. Female survivors of violence were 4.29 [CI 3.67– 4.98] times more likely to experience physical violence. The comparison of different regions equally revealed that the Madhesh province was more experiencing higher levels of violence, education and wealth influencing violence in that the lower level of education and lower level of wealth was positively associated to violence. Community level responses should cover the cost and educational aspects of tackling the effects of violence.
Remittances, Migration and Inequality: Unraveling Nepal's Poverty Dynamics
Authors: Poudel Omkar , Upadhyay Chitra Raj
Published: February 2025

Poverty and inequality remain critical issues in Nepal despite significant poverty reduction over recent decades. Rural and urban poverty trends differ with rural poverty decreasing due to remittances and agricultural productivity, while urban poverty has risen due to migration pressures. This study examines the socio-economic determinants influencing poverty and inequality, focusing on regional differences and policy impacts. Utilizing data from four rounds of the Nepal Living Standards Survey (1995-2023), this study applies descriptive statistics and graphical analysis to assess poverty and inequality trends. Key metrics include the poverty headcount ratio, poverty gap, and Gini coefficient, analyzed across both rural and urban regions to identify distinct socio-economic drivers. Findings indicate a significant reduction in national poverty, primarily driven by remittances although urban poverty has intensified with rapid rural-to-urban migration. The poverty gap and Gini coefficient reveal that inequality remains higher in rural areas despite some improvements. This study highlights the need for region specific policies that address rural poverty drivers and urban challenges tied to migration and inadequate infrastructure. The study concludes that a dual policy approach—targeting rural development and urban poverty management—is necessary for sustainable poverty reduction in Nepal. Future research should further explore long-term impacts of remittances and urban focused poverty interventions.

Addressing Disability Inclusion in Nepal: Barriers and Actions
Authors: Adhikari Anup , Aryal Bhagwan , Khatiwada Kamana
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Background: The discrepancy between global disability prevalence estimates and Nepal's 2021 census reveals significant challenges in promoting disability inclusion. This is due to unequal definitions and diagnostic criteria, with industrialised countries focusing on work-related impairments and social stigmas. Additionally, civil wars and natural disasters like the 2015 earthquakes make it difficult for Nepal's healthcare system to meet the diverse needs of people with disabilities.
Objective: This study analyses the existing literature and identifies the current barriers and actions in promoting disability inclusion in Nepal.
Methods: This study uses a literature review technique to analyse the publications on disability inclusion in Nepal from 2000 to 2024, focusing on challenges and interventions. It identifies key themes in research and practice, highlighting two issues: barriers to inclusion and actions to overcome them.
Results: The findings reveal that inadequate infrastructure, limited rehabilitative programs, and restricted access to essential health and social rights exacerbate existing imbalances. Traditional beliefs in Nepal perpetuate discrimination and exclusion against disabled individuals due to negative perceptions and stigma. Disaster preparedness systems are often inadequate, and physical, environmental, communication, institutional, and economic barriers exacerbate these issues. Despite legislation, effective implementation and resource allocation remains weak. Coverage remains patchy despite efforts to mobilise NGOs and implement community-based rehabilitation initiatives.
Conclusion: The Sustainable Development Goals should prioritise disability inclusion, prompting national and international stakeholders to prioritise disability needs. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health can improve data accuracy. People with disabilities should actively participate in policy creation for fair access and equality. Nepal must swiftly implement its constitution and health sector initiatives.

Unveiling the Productivity Paradox: Remote Work and Employee Performance in the IT Sector Through the Lens of Work Stress
Authors: Bhandari Aastha , Bhattarai Ujjwal , Timsina Sujal Mani
Published: February 2025

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to examine the influence of individual work-related factors (i.e., workload, work-life balance, job satisfaction, and social support) on productivity among young IT professionals working remotely through the mediating effect of work stress.
Design/methodology/approach: This study employed a cross-sectional design and adopted a quantitative approach to analyse the data gathered from 271 respondents, selected through purposive sampling. Both direct and indirect structural relationship was analysed through Smart PLS 4.0.
Findings: The results indicated that workload, work-life balance, and job satisfaction were significant predictors of employee performance, with work stress also having a mediating effect on these variables. The findings strongly support SET, EDT, JD-R, and work-family border theory.
Conclusion: Productivity is sustained through task completion and balanced and satisfying work experiences that accommodate personal and professional needs. The study also exhibits the importance of mitigating stress management in contemporary work management and meeting the needs of the younger generation, which can lead to enhanced engagement.
Practical Implications: In order to meet the needs of the younger generation, organisations must create flexible work policies that incorporate hybrid work models, support employees' well-being by implementing stress management initiatives, and create comprehensive guidelines to handle issues like burnout, distractions, social connectivity, and team engagement in remote settings.
Originality/Value: By integrating the perspectives from HRM and organisational psychology, this study provides a holistic model and addresses a critical gap in the literature, particularly in remote work practices, specifically for young employees in the IT sector.

Factors Influencing Loan Repayment Among the Customers of Microfinance Institutions in Pokhara, Nepal
Authors: Poudel Jharana , Dhungana Bharat Ram , Pokhrel Sushil , Sharma Laxmi Kanta
Published: February 2025

Background: Understanding the factors influencing loan repayment is essential for ensuring borrowers make timely loan payments. The microfinance model allows borrowers to access small business loans safely, aligned with ethical lending standards. Moreover, repayment behaviour highlights how individuals manage their debt, whether through on-time payments, paying more than the minimum, or defaulting.
Objectives: This paper examines the factors influencing loan repayment among microfinance customers in Pokhara. Client, business, lender, and group characteristics are potential influencers of loan repayment.
Methods: The study is based on a survey method with a purposive sampling technique, focusing on 120 respondents from registered microfinance institutions in Pokhara. Data was gathered using structured questionnaires, and the analysis was conducted using descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results: The findings reveal that client characteristics such as age, marital status, and education significantly affect loan repayment, with middle-aged, married individuals showing better repayment behaviours. Business characteristics positively influence repayment, including enterprise type, years in operation, and business size. Lender characteristics such as MFI policies, monitoring, and performance are crucial in enhancing repayment, while group characteristics like peer support and pressure do not significantly impact repayment behaviour.
Conclusion: The age, education, business type, and size of a client play a significant role, while lender policies and monitoring are also crucial. In contrast, group dynamics have less impact. Thus, microfinance institutions may focus on developing tailored financial products, flexible repayment schedules, and supportive programs to help clients repay their loans effectively.

Tensions between institutional and professional frames in team talk in gerontological social work
Authors: Cedersund Elisabet , Olaison Anna , Kvarnström Susanne
Published: February 2025

Team meetings are central to social workers’ decision-making practices. These meetings often function as a forum for collegial consultations, when applications are processed and recommendations on decisions are discussed. In this paper, we present findings from a case study on team talk and decision-making practices in gerontological social work. The data come from a body of material gathered within the framework of a larger project covering the process of assessing elder care for older persons in three Swedish municipalities. The case concerns an application, due to homelessness, from a couple for an apartment in special housing. The team meeting was analysed using a data-driven perspective within a micro-analytical approach to talk, focusing in detail on how conflicting perspectives in the assessment of the couple's needs are dealt with, and how tensions between divergent views and opinions are handled in relation to institutional and professional conversational frames. The findings show how the care managers (in Sweden the professional title for social workers working in elder care) negotiated the boundaries of responsibility and power within both the institutional and professional frames, revealing that the institutional frame dominated when it came to making decisions. The findings have implications for practice, as they give insight into the interactional dynamics involved in social workers’ assessments when navigating different conversational frames within their decision-making practices.
Team talk and the evaluation of medical guidance documentation
Authors: Jenkings K. Neil
Published: February 2025

This article looks at team talk in a validation committee meeting assessment of a guidance document text item. The item assessment was not evidence-based in terms of Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) criteria; instead, the item was assessed via the committee members present drawing on their clinical practitioner members’ knowledge and professional experience. Analysis of the meeting reveals such apparently ‘mere opinion’ to be a systematic evaluation of professional knowledge and personal experiences, in ways ‘compatible’ with thought experiments. Thought experiments are argued to be a members’ resource as well as an analyst's one, although their detailed occasionedness is not reducible to a constructivist formalisation. The article's approach is informed by ethnomethodology and conversation analysis, and while the use of thought experiments as a heuristic device in the analysis is controversial, a warrant for this is attempted. The research was undertaken to locate ways of understanding and supporting team members’ work of robust and useful guidance content production. ‘Validating’ guidance is shown in-and-as the emergent collaborative work of the committee members themselves.
Queering the Benjamenta Institute: Laughter in Robert Walser’s Jakob von Gunten
Authors: Prado Dante
Published: February 2025

While scholars have focused extensively on philosophical and pedagogical disruption in Robert Walser’s Jakob von Gunten (1909), laughter has remained an underexplored element, presumably because it would serve only to highlight the text’s often-commented-on disobedience. The novel’s laughter is, however, not always evidence of disobedience. Showing how the authority figures instrumentalize laughter, I argue that a simultaneity of obedience and disobedience marks the novel’s laughter. More critically, Jakob and Benjamenta’s laughter is a practice of queer cheekiness, operating as a code to tactically communicate homoerotic desire and pleasure, ultimately enabling the text’s queer relationship.

Authors: Neri Guzmán Juan Carlos , González Ramírez Pedro Isidoro , Becerra Bizarrón Manuel Ernesto , Domínguez Valdez Benedicta María
Published: February 2025

Esta investigación tiene como objetivo analizar cómo la intención emprendedora de los estudiantes universitarios de carreras en administración y negocios se ve influenciada por diversos factores, como su actitud, el contexto en el que se desenvuelven, las expectativas de ser profesionistas y la infraestructura que las instituciones de educación superior ofrecen para apoyarlos en la consolidación de dicha intención. Para ello, se tomó como base la teoría de la conducta planeada y, mediante un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales, se comprobó que la intención emprendedora de un estudiante universitario guarda una relación directa, estadísticamente significativa y fuerte con la infraestructura disponible para fomentar el emprendimiento; es decir, a mayor disponibilidad de instalaciones, estrategias y recursos institucionales, como cursos sobre emprendimiento, contenidos en planes de estudio, centros de incubación de negocios, concursos, prácticas, mecanismos de financiamiento y foros de creación empresarial, mayor será el impulso al espíritu emprendedor de los jóvenes. Asimismo, mediante una prueba de hipótesis para muestras independientes, se verificó que el nivel de emprendimiento es mayor en los estudiantes hombres en comparación con las mujeres.
THE EFFECT OF TECHNICAL ANALYSIS ON INVESTMENT PROFIT

Published: February 2025

The purpose of this study is to examine whether relying solely on technical analysis in investment does not greatly affect the profits to be obtained. The author is interested in this topic because most investors only use one type of analysis, wheter it’s technical or fundamental analysis before deciding to buy stocks. To carry out this research, a total of 8 stocks from different companies were taken in the transaction period in 2023 and using the SimInvest application from Sinarmas Sekuritas. The results show that relying on only one type of analysis can affect the profit earned, so it is important for investors to combine technical and fundamental analysis in every investment decision to get greater profit potential.
Peanut Response to Pyroxasulfone in Texas and Oklahoma
Authors: Grichar W.J. , Baughman T.A. , Dotray P.A.
Published: February 2025

Field studies were conducted in southwestern Oklahoma (Ft. Cobb) and in south Texas (Yoakum) and the southern High Plains of Texas (Seminole) during the 2019 and 2020 growing seasons to evaluate peanut cultivar tolerance to pyroxasulfone at 0.09 and 0.12 kg ai/ha applied at peanut cracking (CRACK), early postemergence (EPOST), or mid-postemergence (MPOST). No injury from pyroxasulfone was noted at the Texas locations; however, 0 to 4 % stunting (28 to 32 days after treatment) was noted both years in Oklahoma. Pyroxasulfone rate lowered peanut yield only in 2019 at the High Plains location as the untreated check resulted in higher yield than pyroxasulfone at 0.09 kg/ha. The effect of application timing was only evident at the south Texas location in 2019 when the CRACK application produced higher yield than the MPOST application. Peanut grade (SMK+SS) was not affected by pyroxasulfone rate or application timing at Yoakum or Ft. Cobb. Pyroxasulfone rate and application timing had an occasional effect on peanut yield but did not adversely affect quality and has shown to provide excellent control of problem weeds in peanut.

Published: February 2025

Objective: This study investigated mutations in various genes associated with chloroquine (CQ) and sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) resistance in P. falciparum; including the P. falciparum chloroquine resistance transporter (pfcrt), P. falciparum multidrug resistance 1 (pfmdr1), P. falciparum dihydrofolate reductase (pfdhfr), and P. falciparum dihydropteroate synthase (pfdhps).Material and Methods: A total of 104 P. falciparum samples were obtained from patients across three (Ranong, Surat Thani and Yala) provinces of southern Thailand; between 2012 and 2019. To assess the genetic polymorphisms, pfcrt K76T and pfmdr1 N86Y were identified using PCR-RFLP assay, and pfdhfr C59R and pfdhps K540E was identified using Semi-nested PCR and nucleotide sequencing.Results: Genetic analysis revealed that 61 (58.65%) isolates were positive for pfcrt and 55 (52.88%) for pfmdr1. Notably, the Ranong province isolates showed high prevalence of pfdhfr 51I, 59R, 108N, and 164L mutations (IRN-L) along with pfdhps 540E mutation. The Surat Thani province isolates exhibited the highest frequency of quadruple mutations in both pfdhfr and pfdhps genes. Conclusion: The surveillance guidelines and policy formulation of appropriate Malaria treatment strategies must be implemented in these locations.

Bu süreç, tüketicilerin toplumsal normlar ve değerler hakkında daha fazla bilgi edinmelerine ve bu bilgilerin, satın alma kararları üzerinde etkili olmasına olanak tanımaktadır. Sonuç olarak, çalışma, kadın tüketicilerin sosyal medyadaki etkileşimlerinin, toplumsal ve politik duruşlarını nasıl şekillendirdiğini ortaya koymaktadır. Bu bağlamda, çevrimiçi sosyal karşılaştırmanın, bireylerin tüketim davranışlarını ve boykot kararlarını nasıl etkilediği konusunda önemli bir anlayış sunmaktadır. Gelecek araştırmalar, bu dinamiklerin daha geniş sosyal ve kültürel bağlamlarda nasıl geliştiğini incelemeyi gerektirmektedir.
Filistin Halk Hikâyeleri Üzerine Bir İnceleme
Authors: Doğancı Seher
Published: February 2025

Arap Halk Edebiyatı ürünleri sözlü ve fiili yaratımlar olmak üzere ikiye ayrılır. Sözlü yaratımlar içerisinde atasözleri, deyimler, şarkılar, hikâyeler, bilmeceler ve şakalar yer alırken; fiili yaratımlar arasında halk dansları, çocuk oyunları, âdet ve gelenekler ile kılık-kıyafetler yer alır. Filistin halk hikâyeleri, Filistinlilerin sosyal, tarihi, fikri, dini, edebi ve kültürel unsurlarıyla ilgili bilgiler içeren ve asrın ruhu hakkında malumatlara işaret eden folklor ürünleridir. Hikâyeyi ezbere bilen bir anlatıcının şefevi olarak ve irticalen peş peşe hikâyeler nakletmesi prensibine dayanır. Râvi’nin etrafına toplanan dinleyiciler, uzun kış gecelerinde olağanüstülükler içeren hikâyeleri uyumaya gitmeden önce dinler. Kendine has bir üslûp ile oluşur ve anlatıcının olay ve durumlar karşısında sesini değiştirmesiyle ve beden dilini temsil ve taklitler yaparak kullanmasıyla dinleyici üzerinde duygusal hâkimiyet kurmasına olanak sağlar. Genellikle girizgâh olarak nitelendirilen ve ed-dehlîz olarak isimlendirilen kısa hikâye ile anlatıma başlanır ve bu kısımda amaç dinleyiciyi güldürmektir. Her hikâye, hikâyede yer alan en önemli ve bariz şahıslar ya da olaylar üzerinden isimlendirilir ve kalıp ifadelerle anlatıma başlanır. Genellikle unutulan bir kişinin ya da olayın anlatıcı kişi tarafıdan hatırlanması sebebiyle anlatıma ara verilir ve geçmişe dönerek unutulan bilgiler zikredilir. Başlangıcı ve sonu olan belirli bir zamanı ve mekânı içeren kurgusal öyküler olan hikâyelerde olaylar arasında sebep- sonuç ilişkisi çerçevesinde bağlantı vardır. Bu çalışma, Filistin halk ebiyatında önemli bir yere sahip olan hikâyelerin neler olduğunu, bunların özelliklerini, çeşitlerini, dilini, üslûbunu ve kişilerini sınıflandırıp tahlil etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu çerçevede çalışma için gerekli bilgiler Mine’t-Turâsı’ş-Şa‘bî, el-Hikâyâtu’ş-Şa‘biyyeti’l-‘Arabiyye ve Hikâyatu’ş-Şa‘Biyyeti min Filistîn ve’l-’Urdun adlı Arapça kaynaklardan temin edilmektedir. Çalışmada elde edilen veriler, isimleri geçen eserler başta olmak üzere pekçok eserin nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden doküman analizi kullanılarak okunması ve tahlil edilmesiyle elde edilmektedir. Çalışmanın sonunda Filistin halk hikâyelerinin karaktaristik özellikleri tespit edilmiş ve bu yönler Arapçadan Türkçeye çevrilen hikâyeler üzerinden örneklendirilmiştir.
Modern Türk Şiirinde Filistin Duyarlığı
Authors: Yiğitbaş Maksut , Özdemir Hüseyin
Published: February 2025

Kudüs, İslam Medeniyetinin önemli şehirlerindendir. İslam’ın ilk kıblesi Mescid-i Aksa buradadır. Peygamber Efendimiz buradan Miraç’a yükselmiştir. Yüzyıllarca Müslümanların hâkimiyetinde bulunan Kudüs ve Filistin toprakları 20. yüzyılın başlarında İngilizler tarafından işgal edilmiştir. 1948’de Yahudi Devleti’nin kurulmasıyla ve özellikle 1967 sonrası işgallerle birlikte Filistin toprakları ve Kudüs şehri Müslümanlar için kutsallığın yanında acının da mekânı olur. Kudüs ve Filistin toprakları belirtilen bu önem temelinde edebiyatımızda her daim değinilen temalardan biri olur. Klasik Türk edebiyatında atfedilen kutsallık dolayımında edebî türlerde ele alındığı görülür. Modern Türk edebiyatında ise bu tema, İsrail Devleti’nin kurulmasıyla birlikte 1950 sonrasında İslami duyarlığa sahip Sezai Karakoç ve diğer şairlerin eserlerinde İslam’ın hâkimiyeti altındaki güzel günlere özlem ve yaşanan şiddet çerçevesinde işlenir. Yaşananlar karşısında modern Türk şiirinde “Filistin Davası” özel bir yer edinir. Günümüzde İsrail’in Filistin halkına yaptığı zulüm ve soykırım şiddetini artırarak devam etmektedir. Modern Türk şiirinde İslamî bir anlayış ve retorikle yaşananlara yüksek perdeden itirazın devam ettiği görülür.
Kadın Aktivizminin Dönüştürücü Gücü: Ahed Tamimi Örneği
Authors: Elnur Ahmet
Published: February 2025

Bu çalışma, Ahed Tamimi'nin deneyimlerinin Feminist Duruş Noktası Teorisi ve kesişimsellik bağlamında incelenmesi suretiyle, Filistinli genç kadınların direniş süreçlerindeki rolünün açıklanmasını amaçlamaktadır. Niteliksel içerik çözümlemesinden yararlanılarak, Tamimi'nin “They Called Me a Lioness: A Palestinian Girl's Fight for Freedom” (Bana Dişi Aslan Derler: Filistinli Bir Kızın Özgürlük Mücadelesi) adlı anı kitabının metinsel içeriği üzerinden direniş süreçlerindeki; toplumsal cinsiyet dinamikleri, gençlik aktivizmi, aile ve toplum rolleri, beden politikaları ve hapishane deneyimleri konuları tümevarımsal olarak incelenmiştir. Söz konusu metinsel içeriklerin sistematik analizi sonucunda; "baskıya karşı bedensel direniş", "kuşaklararası bilgi aktarımı", "sürekli baskı altında büyümek" ve "sınırların ötesinde umut ve direniş" olmak üzere dört tema ortaya çıkmıştır. Çalışmanın bulguları, Tamimi'nin askeri otoriteye karşı gösterdiği fiziksel ve sözlü direniş sayesinde geleneksel pasif kadın imgesini bertaraf ederek kadınların güçlendirilmesi açısından önemli rol üstlendiğini göstermektedir. Kuşaklararası bilgi aktarımı ve aile üyelerinin direniş süreçlerinde doğrudan yer almaları, kolektif hafızanın canlı tutulması ve direnişin sürekliliğinin sağlanması açısından önem taşımaktadır. Tamimi'nin deneyimleri, baskı ve militarizasyonun gençlerin yaşamları üzerindeki derin etkilerini örneklendirmektedir. Uluslararası dayanışma ve eğitime yapılan vurgu, Filistin direnişinin küresel boyutuna işaret etmekte ve daha umutlu bir gelecek tasavvurunu ortaya koymaktadır. Bu çalışma, genç kadınların toplumsal değişim süreçlerinde, özellikle direniş hareketlerindeki çok boyutlu rollerinin anlaşılmasına katkıda bulunmakta ve benzeri süreçlerin analizinde kesişimselliğin önemini vurgulamaktadır. Bununla birlikte, Filistinli genç kadınların aktivizminin dönüştürücü gücüne dair kapsamlı bir bakış açısı sunulmakta ve baskı bağlamlarında toplumsal cinsiyet, yaş ve ulusal mücadelenin birbiriyle bağlantılı dinamiklerine dair anlayışın genişletilmesi sağlanmaktadır.

Published: February 2025

Introdução: O golpe de Estado do 25 de Abril de 1974 marca o início da terceira vaga de democratização mundial, de acordo com Samuel P. Huntington, e é crucial para o fim de muitos regimes autoritários na Europa. Metodologia: A pesquisa analisa o impacto do golpe e o protagonismo dos militares portugueses durante a Guerra Fria, além das tensões entre as correntes moderadas e de esquerda radical nos partidos políticos. Resultados: O Pacto entre o MFA e os partidos políticos buscou encontrar as bases para o trabalho da Assembleia Constituinte, com mudanças do I para o II Pacto e uma distribuição de poderes que só foi finalizada com a I Revisão Constitucional em 1982. Discussão e Conclusões: O estudo revela como a relação entre o poder militar e os partidos políticos foi influenciada pelas tensões internas e como o processo constitucional evoluiu, culminando na primeira revisão constitucional que consolidou o novo sistema político.

The article examines the features of the formation of cultural policy of public management of music education in Ukraine and the world. The main mechanisms of state regulation in this area are analyzed, in particular, financial support, decentralization of management, international cooperation and integration of music education into the general system of cultural policy. The main challenges facing music education in Ukraine are identified, including insufficient budget funding, outdated material and technical base, as well as an insufficient level of international integration. Special attention is paid to foreign experience, in particular, to European models of support for music education, which are based on public-private partnerships, grant programs and regional cultural hubs. The role of the state in the formation of effective cultural policy and the possibility of adapting the best world practices to Ukrainian conditions are investigated. In particular, examples from Germany, France, Great Britain and the USA are considered, where music education receives support at both the state and local levels, and cooperation with civil society and the private sector allows ensuring financial stability and quality of educational programs. Particular attention is paid to the issue of the development of music education in Ukraine in conditions of military conflict, when culture plays an important role in preserving national identity and psychological support of society. Strategic directions for reforming the music education system are identified, in particular the need to expand financial support mechanisms, update the material and technical base of educational institutions, as well as intensify international cooperation. The purpose of the article is to analyze the mechanisms for forming the cultural policy of public management of music education, study the European experience and develop recommendations for its adaptation to Ukrainian conditions. The main objectives of the research are to determine the principles of effective management of the cultural sphere, analyze foreign practices in the field of music education, identify key problems of the domestic system of art education and develop proposals for its reform. The results obtained can be used to develop strategic documents in the field of cultural policy aimed at ensuring the sustainable development of music education in Ukraine.
