Multiculturalism in Teacher Training Programs in Türkiye
Authors: Bulut Sevilay
Published: August 2024

In this age, which is characterized as the age of migration, education systems need to focus on overcoming socio-economic inequalities and taking advantage of the opportunities that cultural diversity brings to schools and classrooms at the same time. In order to optimize the opportunities that multiculturalism offers, it is crucial to ensure well-managed, in-class processes. In order for teachers to appreciate multiculturalism and benefit from the opportunities that it will provide, they must receive appropriate professional support and training. In this context, it has been considered important to determine how the forced migration-oriented multiculturalism experienced in Türkiye in the last decades affects teacher training education programs.
Although significant efforts have been made in educational policies in Türkiye, it is evident that the desired level of creating multicultural learning environments has not been attained. It is also possible to monitor this situation through teacher education programs. This research has been conducted using document analysis method. The data was obtained from the course content web pages of universities that ranked in the top 10 in the URAP 2022-2023 national and international rankings, as well as from the course contents offered by higher education institutions in Türkiye. As a result, it has been determined that the number of courses addressing migration in Türkiye is insufficient in accordance with the need. Furthermore, it has been observed that the topic of migration is only addressed at the course level but is not integrated as a fundamental component in programs.

Authors: Islam Dr. Md. Amirul , Kamruzzaman Dr. Md. , Avi Md. Ashikur Rahman
Published: August 2024

Purpose: All stakeholders in a corporation extensively rely on corporate governance disclosures (CGD) because they help the concerned parties make financial decisions concerning the business itself. In Bangladesh, the Company Act 1994 and the Banking Company Act 1991 set specific rules and regulations regarding corporate governance, and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of Bangladesh advocates for the listed companies to abide by those statutes to guarantee fair and reliable corporate governance disclosures. The paper intends to be familiar with the checklists for CGDs in Bangladesh’s banking industry and clearly understand the same accordingly. Methodology: In conducting this study, the researchers adopted mixed method approach (both quantititative and qualitative method). Findings: The study finds insignificant practices of disclosing corporate governance information by Bangladeshi business institutions. Despite not being up to par, these practices are growing daily, and more Bangladeshi companies are following suit. Practical Implications: The current study can significantly help reduce financial scams in various industries, not just the banking industry, by determining the corporate governance disclosure index level. Originality: Although similar studies have been done previously, the present study sets the cornerstone work extension by highlighting the banking sector’s corporate governance disclosure index. Research Limitations: The present study’s focus is limited only to the banks listed with DSE. Based on the CG and its requirements, e.g., the BODs, CS, CFO, and IAH, and the fact that the external auditor and the audit committee can not assume specific roles, sample banks (30) have been contraste.

Final assessments or evaluations can help us understand if our teaching methods are working. To get the most accurate results, we need to follow specific steps and methods when evaluating student learning. Teachers can use these evaluations to find out what students are struggling with and where they need more help. Choosing the best students can be a long and difficult process, especially if it's done manually. A computer system can make this process much easier and more accurate. The biggest problem in many schools is that they don't use technology enough, especially when it comes to evaluating students. SMK Mandiri is facing this same problem. The SMART method is a good way to use technology to evaluate students. It helps us compare students based on different factors like knowledge, skills, and behavior. We used this method to evaluate 20 students at SMK Mandiri. The students were ranked based on their scores. The top 3 students had scores of 152.5, 143.75, and 141.25.

ABSTRACT. The successful establishment and sustainable development of mining enterprises depends on a number of factors, including geological research, management of mineral extraction and processing processes, and sample preparation technology. The sample preparation plants that are currently used have a multi-stage technological process, often with manual transfer of material between technological operations. Standard crushing and grinding equipment with a low degree of grinding, high metal consumption and overall dimensions is used. Separation of material by size also occurs on standard screens, which are poorly suited for sample preparation. The purpose of the work is to substantiate an innovative technological scheme for preparing mineral samples for laboratory analysis. The determining unit of the production line is a vibrating jaw crusher with an inclined crushing chamber, which has a degree of material grinding of more than 100 and allows one to obtain a final product with a particle size of -1 mm in one pass in an open crushing cycle, which reduces the number of overload devices that significantly affect sample clogging with material. Horizontal loading of the source material and unloading of the crushed material makes it possible to arrange all equipment in a horizontal plane, eliminate large-sized metal structures and ensure ease of maintenance. The vibrating screen of the improved design has a complex working profile, which provides a significant increase in the path of transportation of material particles along the sieving surface compared to its length, effective cleaning of the mesh and its visual inspection through the transparent lid, which eliminates clogging of the material of the previous sample. The working surface is a set of sieve cards that allow quick replacement of the worn part of the screening surface. The technical characteristics of the equipment and the general view of a small-sized modular crushing and grinding plant are presented.

ABSTRACT. Zeolites are types of inorganic porous materials that have been widely investigated and applied for their excellent sorption ability for wastewater treatment. Their low cost, safeness, natural abundance and accessibility make them good candidates for a large-scale application. Pollution generated by organic compounds, especially hydrocarbons from oil spills and crude oil refineries emerge as a great concern for aquatic life and the environment. The hydrophobic and highly stable molecules of hydrocarbons determine their persistence toward conventional methods involved in water treatment plants and accidental spills in oceans and seas. This paper presents the works that have been focused on implementation of natural and synthetic zeolites and their modified forms as well as zeolite composites for removal of hydrocarbons from wastewater.

Published: August 2024

ABSTRACT. Proper management of overburden materials can reduce the environmental impact and increase the benefits of mining activities. It is important to consider the specific composition of the overburden and local needs when selecting the most appropriate recovery method. And while much of the overburden material can be used in construction, reclamation, cement production and more, the green waste problem has not been sufficiently solved. In the present publication, the possibilities of generating energy from the green waste from the overburden through bio-electrochemical systems are investigated. The possibilities of generating energy from grass, wood chips and leaves have been studied. The best results were achieved in grass utilisation, generating a power density of 107,58 mW/m2.
ADVANCEMENTS IN CIVIL EXPLOSIVES: NOVEL FORMULATIONS AND SUSTAINABLE FUEL SOLUTIONS
Authors:   University of Mining and Geology “St. Ivan Rilski”, 1700 Sofia, Mollova Zdravka
Published: August 2024

ABSTRACT. The article presents the development of a new explosive mixture based on agricultural ammonium nitrate, possessing high detonation capability, increased water resistance, and physical stability. The concept for its creation is based on obtaining an oil-in-water (O/W) type microemulsion, produced using vegetable oil. Calculations conducted showed that the use of 100 % rapeseed oil methyl esters compared to diesel fuel improves emulsification by 14 %, reducing emulsification time by 15 %. Due to the structure of the microemulsion, ordinary agricultural ammonium nitrate can successfully retain around 7.5 % of the microemulsion. This amount of fuel phase is sufficient for obtaining an explosive composition with an appropriate oxygen balance. Substituting the porous ammonium nitrate (PAN) with agricultural ammonium nitrate - the cheapest oxidizer for the production of the newly developed explosive mixture, reduces its production cost and significantly increases the competitiveness of the product.

Published: August 2024

ABSTRACT. The paper presents a geotechnical investigation of the structural integrity of the Ellatzite open-pit mine and considers the achieved bench face angle, while looking at the final geometry shaping of the bench face. The study shows that the influence of the lithology, rock mass structure, mining technology and water saturation of the bench faces is of crucial importance for achieving a long-term sustainability of the mine benches. Therefore, some efforts need to be made to optimise the technological processes in the mine, as well as to drain precipitated and groundwater away from the slopes, by maintaining an effective and appropriate drainage and dewatering system.
Restorative Justice in Homicide Cases: Opportunities and Challenges
Authors: Jumra  , Sandra Gustika , Rasyid Mukhawas , Agustafa
Published: August 2024

Restorative justice is an alternative approach to the criminal justice system that focuses on restoring relationships between offenders, victims and society rather than simply punishment. This research aims to explore the application of restorative justice in murder cases, assessing the extent to which the concept can be applied and its effectiveness in the Indonesian criminal law context. In this discussion, possible opportunities for the application of restorative justice are examined, such as the potential for victim recovery and offender reintegration into society. However, major challenges are also identified, including normative barriers in the law, resistance from law enforcement officials, and social and cultural constraints. This study uses a qualitative approach with juridical analysis of murder cases in Indonesia that consider aspects of restorative justice. The results showed that although restorative justice offers much potential to improve the justice system, its application in homicide cases requires significant legal reform, education and training of law enforcement officers, and a paradigm shift in society. In conclusion, while restorative justice has opportunities to be applied in homicide cases, the challenges present require a holistic approach to ensure effective implementation.

La presente investigación se propuso explorar el impacto de la gamificación y las actividades interactivas en línea en los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje en la educación superior. El objetivo principal consistió en determinar si la integración de elementos lúdicos y tecnológicos en los entornos virtuales de aprendizaje podía potenciar la motivación, el compromiso y el rendimiento académico del estudiantado. Para ello, se llevó a cabo una revisión sistemática de la literatura científica, analizando los 154 artículos obtenidos en SCOPUS que evaluaron la efectividad de estas estrategias pedagógicas, para obtener esta data se hicieron varios filtros para obtener información más actualizada y relevante. Los resultados obtenidos sugieren que tanto la gamificación como las actividades interactivas en línea tienen el potencial de enriquecer la experiencia de aprendizaje al fomentar la participación activa, la colaboración y la motivación intrínseca del alumnado. Sin embargo, los efectos sobre el rendimiento académico medido de manera tradicional son más matizados y requieren de investigaciones adicionales para establecer conclusiones definitivas. En conclusión, la evidencia empírica apunta a que estas estrategias pedagógicas innovadoras representan una promesa para transformar la educación superior, aunque es necesario continuar investigando para comprender mejor los mecanismos subyacentes a sus efectos y para desarrollar mejores prácticas para su implementación en diversos contextos educativos.

La inteligencia artificial ha sorprendido al mundo con sus avanzadas capacidades, facilitando la automatización de tareas y reduciendo significativamente el tiempo requerido para actividades anteriormente laboriosas. Este estudio tiene como objetivo explorar la implementación de la inteligencia artificial en el ámbito jurídico boliviano, comparando dos herramientas: Chat GPT y Gemini AI. Para lo cual, se realizó una revisión de la literatura y estudios de casos prácticos para evaluar ambas herramientas en tres áreas clave: búsqueda y sistematización de doctrina y jurisprudencia, análisis de casos y redacción de documentos legales. Los resultados demuestran que ambas herramientas tienen el potencial de mejorar la eficiencia y precisión en los ámbitos estudiados. Sin embargo, se identificaron algunas limitaciones, principalmente relacionadas con el acceso restringido a la información, lo que ocasionalmente resulta en respuestas incorrectas que requieren verificación manual. En conclusión, aunque Chat GPT y Gemini AI presentan ventajas significativas para el campo jurídico en Bolivia, es esencial considerar las limitaciones actuales y la necesidad de supervisión humana para garantizar la precisión de los resultados.
