Published: October 2021

Experimental studies have been carried out to evaluate the refractive indices of zinc selenide single crystals of the same type ZnSe CVD from different batches in the spectrum range of 1.3-25 μm. A technique for determining refractive indices based on the spectrophotometric method using the reflection and transmission spectra of the plates and the reflection spectra from the sample surface is presented. The results of the study showed not only the correctness of the proposed methodology, but also the fact that the obtained performance indicators for different samples of zinc selenide from different batches in the investigated part of the infrared range differ more from each other than indicated in reference books, which should be taken into account when developing products of transmission optics.
Uso de esterco bovino e cobertura de solo no manejo de nematoides na cultura da soja
Authors: Costa Mauro Junior Natalino da
Published: October 2021

As doenças causadas por nematoides são consideradas importantes devido ao hábito polífago desses patógenos, estratégias de sobrevivência e aos prejuízos econômicos causados. No Brasil, as espécies que provocam os maiores danos na cultura da soja são: Meloidogyne javanica, M. incognita, Heterodera glycines, Pratylenchus brachyurus, Rotylenchulus reniformis e Aphelenchoides sp. Recentemente, surgiram relatos de incidência, em algumas regiões, de Tubixaba spp., Scutellonema brachyurus e Helicotylenchus dihystera. Dessa forma, é necessária a utilização de estratégias de manejo que auxiliem na redução dos níveis populacionais desses fitoparasitas. O uso de esterco bovino, associado a espécies vegetais para cobertura de solo, apresentase como uma alternativa para manejo de nematoides na cultura da soja, devido a um conjunto de propriedades nematostáticas e nematicidas, ao efeito benéfico às plantas e ao estímulo do desenvolvimento de inimigos naturais. São indicadas espécies de plantas que produzam resíduos que cubram melhor o solo, deixem mais palhada, distribuam seus sistemas radiculares pivotantes e/ou fasciculados, mantenham ou aumentem os teores de carbono, e incrementem a densidade/ riqueza macro e microbiológica. Esta revisão tem o objetivo de apresentar e discutir os principais efeitos do uso de matéria orgânica e alternativas de manejo e controle de nematoides na cultura da soja com o emprego de esterco bovino e cobertura de solo com diferentes espécies de plantas.
Impact of Repeated Lidocaine Injections, Exercise, and Mindfulness on Fibromyalgia Symptoms in a Clinical Population
Authors: Hansen Grace Miranda
Published: October 2021

Fibromyalgia (FM) patients usually are resistant to conventional single mode therapy. Therefore, the efficacy of combined pharmacological and nonpharmacological treatments for the management of FM symptoms in a clinical population was assessed. Participants were injected with 4x5 mL 1% lidocaine HCl solution and given education materials and support on increasing their daily steps walked and to engage in mindfulness techniques to reduce their overall pain and accompanying symptoms of their condition. Participants self-reported pain intensity, unpleasantness, anxiety, fatigue, and depression three days prior to and after each injection. Overall ratings of pain intensity and unpleasantness showed statistically significant reductions of 34.7 and 47.2 percent respectively with the combined use of treatments. Additionally, fatigue levels had a significant decrease but depression and anxiety ratings were not significantly modified by this treatment modality. Patients who had a greater adherence to their protocol had an improved pain relief when compared to others. These results suggest that the use of a combination treatment method for FM in a clinical setting and when used in combination is effective. This pilot study can be used as a model for future randomized controlled studies on comprehensive treatments for FM.

Authors: Labuhn Lauren Nicole , Klimenko Marina
Published: October 2021

Research suggests that past trauma can contribute to the downfall of long-term romantic partnerships. This study implemented a content analysis of a television show 13 Reasons Why to examine the realism of the depiction of adolescents’ romantic attitudes and quality of relationships.   The show is intended to depict real, unfiltered experiences of adolescents in today’s society. The specific goal of the present study was to examine the relationship between the depictions of adolescents’ romantic expressions and their experiences with trauma. Additionally, the study examined differences in the depiction of romantic expressions based on the gender of the characters.  Statistical analyses revealed that past traumatic experience was the only significant predictor of romantic expressions. Specifically, characters who had experienced the most trauma were the least likely to express romantic ideals.
Security in Emergency Departments: Spatial Analysis of the Physical Environment
Authors: Del hagen Erica Lynn
Published: October 2021

Emergency departments (EDs) are one of the most complex clinical areas in the healthcare system and one of the most dangerous workplaces. Evidence shows that healthcare professionals who work in EDs are more prone to violence from patients and visitors than those working in other healthcare settings. While many studies have highlighted organizational and operational policies to minimize the risk of violence against healthcare workers, very few studies have focused on the role of facility design. This research aimed to (1) gain an understanding of environmental design features in EDs that may impact the occurrence of violet events, and (2) propose potential environmental design scenarios for future examination of ED design through primary research. Peer-reviewed and gray literature on ED design were reviewed, and case examples of ED facility design projects were identified from online sources and were spatially analyzed. Findings from the literature suggested that entry zones of EDs, including entrance doors and vestibules for walk-in patients, reception areas/desks, and waiting areas are associated with the most security issues. Based on this finding, the spatial analysis was limited to the entry zones. The design examples were categorized based on their spatial patterns and visibility properties. This typology of entry layouts helped with developing three design scenarios with different levels of visibility. The design scenarios represent the most common layouts of entry design in ED facilities. A walk-through video of each scenario is developed for future research. A future study can identify the perceived security level of each scenario by presenting them to healthcare workers and security professionals working in EDs. This research highlights the importance of interior environmental design in improving security and reducing the risk of violent behavior against healthcare workers in EDs.
Prejudice in Past Pandemics
Authors: Bahsoun Sarah Adnan
Published: October 2021

Accompanying the spread of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) across the globe was a proliferation in anti-Asian hate crimes and political rhetoric. These discriminatory actions mirrored the prejudice exhibited towards other groups in past pandemics, such as Jewish populations in Europe during the Black Death between 1346 and 1353. This study aimed to determine similar patterns relating to and underlying the prejudice seen in past pandemics, focusing on three categories: hate crimes, political rhetoric, and religiosity. Prejudice against Jewish people during the Bubonic plague, Immigrants in America during the 1918 Flu, and Asian Americans during COVID-19 were investigated in this study because of the historical record of existing prejudice against these groups before the start of the pandemics. Overall, this study found that there was no general pattern of hate crimes during past pandemics without accompanying political rhetoric. In addition, there was no general pattern in religiosity in the pandemics studied, suggesting that the prejudice was not fueled by religious motivations. Given the small selection of pandemics analyzed in this study, further analysis with more pandemics could present more robust conclusions.
Optimization of Multi Two-Level Batch Testing
Authors: McCoy Richard William , Silver Aryeh Justin , Keane Sophia Valerie
Published: October 2021

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread, rapid testing could help curb asymptomatic transmission. Thus, it is paramount that the most efficient testing method be identified and implemented, as to reduce the strain on the medical community. This project introduces a novel batch testing method called multi two-level batch testing, which was hypothesized to increase the efficiency of batch testing in terms of minimizing the number of tests performed for a given population. While Dorfman’s two-level and Li’s multi-level batch testing methods already exist, this method offers a novel strategy distinct from existing methods. A Java simulation was created to iteratively compute the number of tests required for each testing method at various percentages of population infection rate, batch sizes, and other parameters specific to each method. Based on this simulation, it can be shown that the multi two-level procedure is more efficient than both the two-level and the multi-level procedures at an infection rate of 0.01, which is the anticipated rate at the University of Florida during the Spring 2021 semester. Additionally, at infection rates between 0.05 and 0.30, the multi two-level batch testing method slightly outperforms multi-level. When the infection rate exceeds 0.30, all methods are unviable and begin to require more tests than necessary to test each person in the population individually. If laboratories implement multi two-level batch testing, they may reduce costs and labor. Additionally, the novel batch testing procedure can be applied to other diseases and future pandemics.

Authors: Ribeiro Ricardo Lennon Santana , Sousa Haigle Reckziegel de , Medeiros Felype Hanns Alves de , Coelho Rafael Vilanova , Queiroz Patrícia dos Santos Silva
Published: October 2021

O planejamento familiar é um tema abordado na atenção básica de saúde e constitui um conjunto de ações que permitem a mulher, o homem ou o casal terem ou não seus filhos. Ainda que o planejamento reprodutivo ou familiar seja um espaço para homens e mulheres, é visível a ausência da participação masculina. Nesse sentido, qual a estratégia da enfermagem para a participação do homem no planejamento familiar? O presente trabalho teve como objetivo encontrar na literatura publicações que apresentassem estratégias dos profissionais de enfermagem para inclusão do homem no programa de planejamento familiar. Para alcançar esse objetivo foi realizada uma revisão integrativa em junho de 2021, utilizando as bases de dados Latino-Americana em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS) e Base de Dados de Enfermagem (BEDENF), sem restrição de idioma e publicados no período de 2011 a 2021. Após a busca na literatura científica, foram selecionados cinco estudos para análise quanto as estratégias dos profissionais na abordagem do tema com o público masculino. Todas as publicações encontradas apresentaram alguma sugestão relacionada à educação em saúde e/ou educação continuada ou capacitação profissional, algumas foram além pontuando como importante estratégia a captação ou acolhimento do homem que frequenta outros programas por diferentes patologias, além das ações em saúde direcionadas à família e a comunidade. Foi possível concluir que o profissional da saúde em especial a enfermagem deve atuar em estratégias de educação em saúde, mas dirigidas a realidade local, além de formação continuada para mudança de conceitos ultrapassados e fixados sobre o tema, visando incluir o homem no programa de planejamento familiar.

POSSIBLE ORGANIZATIONAL AND LEGAL FORMS OF TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS CLUSTER IN THE BLACK SEA ECONOMIC REGION
Authors: Liashenko Viacheslav , Osadcha Nataliia , Trushkina Nataliia
Published: October 2021

Modern economic conditions for the development of the Black Sea economic region require the search for fundamentally new forms of management. In view of this, the problem of creating a transport and logistics cluster and determining its possible organizational and legal forms becomes especially relevant. The article, based on the analysis of current legislation, shows that currently no attention is paid to the creation and operation of the transport and logistics cluster in the Black Sea economic region. But from the point of view of perspective development clustering should be considered as a key direction of transformation of regional transport and logistic system.
The study identified the features and differences of the cluster from other organizational and legal forms of associations of enterprises, which are as follows: its activities do not determine the special features of government (unlike corporations and concerns); this cluster structure has a permanent nature of activity (unlike consortia); is created not only for the purpose of constant coordination of economic activity of the enterprises (unlike associations).
Transport and logistics cluster can be created, according to Art. 63 of the Commercial Code of Ukraine, as: a communal enterprise operating on the basis of communal property of territorial communities; a joint communal enterprise operating on a contractual basis of joint financing by the respective territorial communities – subjects of cooperation.
It is proposed to make changes and additions to the Concept of creating clusters in Ukraine, the National Transport Strategy of Ukraine until 2030, Strategies of balanced regional development of Mykolaiv, Odessa and Kherson regions for 2027 to create a transport and logistics cluster as a business entity. It is expedient to develop and approve the Concept of Cluster Policy of the Black Sea Economic Region and the Target Program “Formation and Development of Clusters in the Black Sea Economic Region for 2027”, which should provide for the creation of transport and logistics clusters as a special type of enterprise associations.
Reproductive aspects of the male jaguar (Panthera onca): A review
Authors: López-Pérez E. , Cortés-Villavicencio F. , Muñoz-García C. , Gallegos-Sánchez J. , Ávalos-Rodríguez Alejandro
Published: October 2021

Objective: To describe the anatomy, morphology and physiology of the reproductive system of male jaguars, as well as assisted reproduction techniques.
Methodology: A literature review on the anatomy and morphology of the jaguar´s reproductive system, its physiological characteristics and assisted reproduction techniques were carried out to document relevant information on the topic.
Results: With this review, basic aspects of the morphology of the reproductive system of the jaguars are disclosed, although scarce knowledge is available on their reproduction. The advances in the collection, evaluation and cryopreservation of semen of this feline are shown, in addition to assisted reproduction techniques such as artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization, which have a great potential to safeguard the species.
Study limitations: The jaguar, an emblematic species of Latinamerica, is an endangered species, like other wild felids species as ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) and margay (Leopardus wiedii), which makes it necessary to have a national assisted reproduction program. However, for this to be possible, information about their reproductive physiology is necessary, which is complicated in wild animals and even more so because the reproductive mechanisms greatly differ between felids species. There is scarce information in this regard from its free-living or Mexican zoos, it is for this reason necessary to generate such information.
Conclusions: It is necessary to continue working on designing protocols for artificial insemination and other assisted reproduction techniques such as in-vitro fertilization specifically for male Panthera onca.

Published: October 2021

Objective: To evaluate the insecticidal effectiveness of biorational and conventional products as alternatives to control thrips and their phytotoxic effects in strawberry cultivation.
Design / methodology / approach: The research was carried out in strawberry cv. Camino Real during its flowering stage - fruiting established in open ground; A completely randomized experimental design with seven treatments and four replications was used. The treatments evaluated were: T1: neem oil extract, T2: paraffin oil, T3: garlic extract + hot chili pepper + cinnamon, T4: spinosad, T5: imidacloprid + lambda cyhalothrin, T6: bifenthrin, and T7: control. Applications were made weekly and the mortality evaluation was carried out by counting the number of live thrips per flower. With the obtained data, an analysis of variances and a mean comparison test (Tukey, p ≤ 0.05) were performed.
Results: Significant differences between treatments could be identified (p ≤ 0.05); imidacloprid + lambda cyhalothrin and bifenthrin caused the highest mortality of thrips with 92 and 93 % efficacy, respectively. Spinosad obtained good results, ranking as the second-best option with 90 % control efficiencies; neem extract stood out as an excellent biorational pest management alternative with 77 % control efficacy in its last evaluation. No phytotoxic effects were observed from any of the treatments on the crop.
Limitations on study / implications: It is important to continue the study in the laboratory to obtain the LD50 and LD90 of the management alternatives, as well as an MRL analysis of the molecules used.
Findings / conclusions: The proposed protocol evidenced the efficacy of biorational and ecological thrips control treatments in intensive horticultural systems.

Authors: Valera- Montero L.L. , González-Delgadillo L. , Amador-Rodríguez K. A. , Perales-Segovia C. , Flores Benítez Silvia
Published: October 2021

Objective. To optimize a nutrient medium based on fertilizers for the cultivation of Bacillus subtilis in an Airlift-type handcrafted bioreactor.
Design/Methodology/Approach. Twenty-seven nutrient media, fixed by combining five factors with three levels, including sucrose, ammonium sulfate, triple superphosphate, UltraK® formula, and B. subtilis inoculum (Serenade® Max) were tested in a 50L handcrafted by the authors. The variables monitored in the media were absorbance, dissolved oxygen, pH, and temperature. The first was the one that was considered for optimization as it is the indirect indicator of bacterial growth. On the statistical analysis, the option "Larger is better" was chosen for Signal/Noise for the ANOVA of the main effects according to the Taguchi method.    
Results.  The highest level of sucrose, together with the lowest level of triple superphosphate were determinants for maximum growth of Bacillus in the time studied. On the other hand, the components such as ammonium sulfate, UltraK® formula, or the amount of inoculum were not significant, which means that they can be added from the mid to low levels.
Study limitations/Implications.  This new information can be scaled to bioreactors of 2500 L for B. subtilis that we have previously developed.
Finding/Conclusions. Maximum bacterial growth depends on a good supply of sucrose, limiting triple superphosphate. Additionally, it is prudent to decrease additions of ammonium sulfate because it reduces dissolved oxygen in the nutrient medium.

Changes and Challenges in the Teaching of Grammar in the Age of Disruption
Authors: Nanquil Luisito M.
Published: October 2021

The teaching of grammar during classroom meetings is entirely different from the grammar instruction in the new normal. The learning and teaching atmosphere has been more challenging in the contemporary time because people want to be safe and secure as they do transactions. The widespread threats of the pandemic forced humanity to observe mandatory policies and protocols in work, school, and home. Development of language skills is a long time thrust by which ESL teachers carry among their schools. In the Philippine setting, both private and public school teachers share common problems in a different context and situation. The importance of grammar skills can be reflected on the various tasks and activities performed by people in the worksite, academe, and industry. As such, language teachers confront the issues and challenges in the actual ESL classroom where students are expected to learn and master grammar skills among others. Not all students have a good language facility as shown by poor performance in the English language assessments. Some students dislike inclusion of grammar lessons in the curriculum for fear of being unable to participate in the class and produce outputs. This paper aims to identify and describe the challenges (in the time of pandemic) experienced by language teachers on the teaching of grammar in the local Philippine context. Before the study culminated, the researcher has decided to get the views of experts and experienced ESL teachers about this problem and/or issue. It is a fact that has been observed and proved by many teachers not just ESL area but other majors that having grammar competence can help both students and professionals to achieve their goals and perform communicative tasks in the workplace. Results of the study provided insights and tips on how language teachers can make grammar teaching effective and relevant despite changes in setting and environment.
Online-Based Learning: Challenges and Strategies of Freshman Language Learners
Authors: Barrera Danica Jane
Published: October 2021

The increasing demand for the implementation of an alternative learning scheme to aid the sudden setback in the field of education has been one of the most debated topics among the government and educational sectors worldwide. With the impossibility of face-to-face learning, the government had to devise an attainable learning substitution plan which resulted in the birth of online education. This study is one of the few studies that seek to determine the challenges and strategies used by freshman language learners in online education in the midst of a pandemic. Furthermore, a descriptive-qualitative design was employed in the study. Hence, the data were gathered using semi-structured interviews. The respondents for this study were identified by means of a purposive sampling technique. On that account, the respondents were handpicked in consideration to the inclusion criteria. Moreover, in depth individual interviews were conducted to seven respondents, five females and 2 males. To analyze the data, thematic analysis was utilized.  The challenges that emerged in the study are the following: High-cost internet access, less social engagement and inactive class discussion, unfamiliarity of the new learning modality, internet connectivity, stress inducing school-works, lack of technological resources, location-related stressors and unpredictability of power outages. The paper concludes with the four emerging themes concerning the strategies freshman language learners use in online education and how those strategies aid the aforementioned challenges.
Modular Learning: Struggles and Coping Mechanisms of Mothers Not Speaking Mother Tongue
Authors: Dealagdon Tricia
Published: October 2021

Modular learning is the current learning modality of primary education in the Philippines where traditional teacher-student practice has now been shifted to mother-child since mothers are the immediate assistants of their child in modular learning. Therefore, they play essential parts in their children’s education. More so, this learning modality is applicable in all given subjects, including the Mother Tongue (MT). Whereas MT modules will be solely assisted by mothers regardless of the mothers’ MT. The objective of this study is to determine the struggles and coping mechanisms of mothers not speaking the MT in assisting their child in the MT subject. Moreover, this study utilized a qualitative-descriptive design which included semi-structured interview. More so, purposive sampling was utilized to determine the respondents of this study. The total number of respondents is 10 and are all mothers. The respondents’ age ranged between 24-35 years old. It was discovered from the interviews that difficulty in understanding Chavacanowords on the module, difficulty in comprehending instructions on the module, lack of educational pictures, difficulty in translating to the child’s Mother Tongue, difficulty in facilitating learning, difficulty managing child’s behavior and struggle in implementing time management became their primary struggles in assisting their child in the MT subject. It is also important to note that mothers were still able to assist their child despite of these challenges through seeking assistance from native Chavacanospeakers, from someone who has more knowledge in Chavacano, from the teacher, using the translation provided as reference, searching on the internet, repetitive teaching, practice through conversation, involvement during discussions, translating Chavacano to their mother tongue, materials from the teacher, recording of classes, use of infographics, providing positive reinforcement and letting family members to assist.
Ecosystem Approach in Dealing with Invasive Alien Species: International, European and Ukrainian Experience of Legal Regulation
Authors: Suietnov Yevhenii , Tulina Elbis
Published: October 2021

This article is devoted to highlighting the international, European and Ukrainian experience encompassing legal regulation dealing with the invasive alien species that represent the second largest threat to global biodiversity, right after habitat destruction. It has been proved that, at the international level, primarily within the framework of the Convention on Biological Diversity, the ecosystem approach is recognized as the basis in dealing with such species. It is also gradually being reflected in the regulatory framework of the European Union. The provisions of the EU on nature protection and the relevant regulations of the European Commission define invasive species, which are prohibited from activities that may contribute to their dissemination in the environment. In the Ukrainian environmental law, a positive trend towards the recognition of the ecosystem approach in dealing with invasive alien species is observed primarily among national strategic documents, while in current national environmental legislation, these issues are regulated fragmentarily and inconsistently, which indicates the need for its early reform.

Natural rubber (Hevea brasiliensis Wild. Ex A. Juss.) Müell. Arg. is an important commodity crop grown in world over for industrial raw material rubber latex for various products, mainly tyre manufacturing. Hevea propagation is through clones evolved by breeding as cultivars with desired characters. This article presented the biomass and nutrient accumulation of four important Hevea clones viz. RRII 105, RRII 118, RRII 203 and GT1 at 30 years age. Biomass and nutrient concentration of tree components viz. trunk, branches, leaf and root were assessed by uprooting the trees in the field and standing trees using allometric equation. Among the different clones, RRII 118 and GT1 recorded higher biomass compared to RRII 105 and RRII 203. Above-ground biomass (88-93 per cent) varied more than below-ground biomass (7-11 per cent). The high yielding clones had higher leaf and root biomass. Drought tolerant and timber clones viz. RRII 118 and RRII 203 recorded higher K and high yielding clone RRII 105 had higher Ca accumulation. Biomass removal of these clones may lead to deficiency of K and Ca in soil and hence needs the external supplements. The relation of high Ca content and leaf disease of fungal origin is promising for further studies. The higher accumulation of iron and manganese indicated the tolerance of Hevea to these elements and possibility of phytoremediation. The per cent contribution of nutrients to total biomass varied less between clones and was below 3 percent at the age of 30 years and this is evidence of adjustments in proportions of nutrients in Hevea irrespective of clonal variations.

State Academy of Arts: Tradition and Modernity. Part Two: «Smoldering Traditions of Modernity»
Authors:   Russian presidential academy of national economy and public administration, Moscow, Guseltseva Marina S.
Published: October 2021

The State Academy of Arts is a phenomenon of Russian culture at the beginning of the 20th century. Archival reconstructions of its history are still continuing. The scientific research task of the State Academy of Arts was a comprehensive study of the issues of art and artistic culture, the solution of the problem of the synthesis of arts, as well as the unification of domestic specialists who worked in this field. The emergence of State Academy of Arts was conditioned, on the one hand, by the building of the institutions of the young Soviet state, and, on the other hand, by aspirations for interdisciplinarity and creative synthesis as an inertial movement of the Silver Age culture. The uniqueness of State Academy of Arts was the integration of pre-revolutionary academic and emerging Soviet practices. However, at the turn of 1920-1930-ies in the Soviet Union, repressive tendencies intensified: searches for enemies, «purges» and mass arrests swept over scientific institutions. «Akademicheskoe Delo», «Delo Slavistov», «Pulkovskoe Delo», «Leningradskoe Delo» and others led to the death of many scientists and the loss of scientific directions, the defeat, above all, of the socio-humanitarian sciences. «Cold Civil War» as a Result of the Cultural and Psychological Traumas of the Twentieth Century carries the risks of the smoldering traditions of totalitarianism. What is needed is educational activities, responsible pedagogical and psychological work with historical memory, the restoration of forgotten names and the cultivation of attitudes towards social harmony in a complex and diverse modern society

Published: October 2021

The incidence of fractures is the highest prevalence in the world. Fractures by accidents require serious management to prevent serious injuries. The improper first treatment of fracture victims can lead to death and disability. The causes of fractures in Indonesia include traffic accidents. The number of motorized vehicles in Indonesia is increasing by 119.560 cases every year which caused new problems, including security, safety, and traffic congestion. Online motorcycle taxis are alternative public transportation because they can reach places that are not passed by other public transportation. Online motorcycle taxis riders are people who are often on the road and often see even as victims of broken bones from traffic accidents, so there is a need for counseling and handling emergency conditions for motorcycle taxi drivers on the road. This community service activity aimed to increase the ojol drivers’ knowledge and ability in dealing with emergency fractures on the road using discussion methods. The activity was carried out on Thursday, July 16, 2020, carried out face-to-face in the Sukoharjo Regency pavilion, followed by a number of 20 participants. The result of this activity found an increase in the knowledge of ojol drivers by 40% with posttest results of 80% continued with splint dressing. The results of these activities were followed up by coordination with Gojek for greater community service.

Published: October 2021

Günümüzde en büyük sorunlardan biri işsizliktir. İşsizlik sorunundan en çok etkilenen gruplardan biri ise sayıları her yıl artan sosyal hizmet lisans bölümü mezunlarıdır. Bu araştırmanın amacı, yeni mezun sosyal çalışmacıların işsizlik kavramına yönelik ifade ettikleri metaforları incelemektir. Araştırmada nitel araştırma modellerinden biri olan fenomenoloji (olgu bilim deseni) kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu, farklı üniversitelerin sosyal hizmet bölümünden 2018-2019 ve 2019-2020 eğitim ve öğretim yıllarında mezun olmuş 80 sosyal çalışmacı oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma verileri yeni mezun sosyal çalışmacıların “İşsizlik…… gibidir; Çünkü …...” cümlelerini tamamlamaları ile elde edilmiştir. Araştırma verileri içerik analizi yöntemi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonunda, yeni mezun sosyal çalışmacıların işsizlik kavramıyla ilgili toplam 58 metafor belirttikleri görülmüştür. Katılımcıların işsizlik kavramıyla ilgili “Doğal Afet/Oluşum” (f=16), “Duygu Yansıması” (f=16), “Mekan Tasviri” (f=14), “Dezavantaj Durumu” (f=13), “İşlev Bozukluğu Yaratan Durum” (f=12) ve “Nesne” (f=9) olmak üzere toplam 6 farklı kategoride toplanabilecek metafor üretmişlerdir. Belirlenen sonuçlara göre, yeni mezun sosyal çalışmacılar işsizlik kavramına ilişkin oldukça olumsuz ve umutsuz görüşlere sahiptir. Bu kapsamda, sosyal hizmet mesleğinin ülkemizde istihdam olanaklarının artırılması ve işsizlik sürecinde olan özellikle yeni mezun bireylere ilişkin uygulamalar geliştirilmesi önerilmektedir.
