ТҰРМЫС-САЛТ ЕРТЕГІЛЕРІНДЕГІ ДАЛАЛЫҚ ДҮНИЕТАНЫМНЫҢ ӘЛЕМНІҢ ТІЛДІК БЕЙНЕСІНДЕГІ КӨРІНІСІ
Authors: Нурбеков Талғат , Салқынбай А.Б.
Published: July 2024

Мақалада қазақтың тұрмыс-салт ертегілеріндегі далалық дүниетанымның әлемнің тілдік бейнесіндегі көрінісін зерттейміз. Қазақтың халық ертегілерінің ішінде тұрмыс-салт ертегілердің алатын орны ерекше. Көне кезеңнен бастап, кейінгі уақытқа дейінгі халық тіршілігінің, дүниетанымының, мінезінің, жақсылық пен жамандық туралы түсінігінің әр алуан жақтары осы ертегілерде кеңінен суреттелген. Сонымен бірге тұрмыс-салт ертегілерде өз өмірін жеңілдету мүддесі де жатады. Ең бастысы, арманы мен мүддесі қабыса келе мұратқа жетудің жолдары қарастырылады. Жақсылықты жеңгізбейтін қазақ ертегісі мүлде жоқ. Шындық оқиғалардан бастау алатын ертегінің негізгі көздегені – жақсылық жасау арқылы арман-мақсатына жету.
Негізгі бөлімде отандық және шетелдік ғалымдардың еңбектеріне сүйене отырып, қазақтың ертегілеріне сараптама жасаймыз. Тұрмыс-салт ертегілерде қиял ғажайып оқиғалар, фантастикалық кейіпкерлер мейлінше аз кездеседі. Алайда бұл мүлде болмайды деген сөз емес. Көбінесе, оқиғаның шарықтау шегінде әрекетті мейлінше күрделендіріп, тыңдаушыны қызықтыра түсу үшінде фантастикалық кейіпкерлер ішінара кездесіп отырады.  Жақсылық пен мейірімділікке үндейтін мұндай ертегілердің негізгі кейіпкерлері жезтырнақ немесе мыстан кемпір емес, жалғыз көзді дәу немесе жеті басты жалмауыз емес, қарапайым адам болады. Қарапайым адам жақсылық жасап жүріп-ақ, игілікке, мұратына жетеді.
Қорытынды бөлімде қазақтың тұрмыс-салт ертегілеріндегі далалық дүниетанымның әлемнің тілдік бейнесіндегі көрінісіне талдау жасап, тұжырым жасаймыз. Отандық және шетелдік ғалымдардың еңбектеріне сүйене отырып, өзіндік пікірімізді білдірдік.
ПРЕДСТАВЛЕНИЕ АЗИИ В ЕВРОПЕЙСКОМ ИСТОРИКО-КУЛЬТУРНОМ ЗНАНИИ (на основе коллекции музея изобразительных искусств имени семьи Невзоровых)
Authors: Рекида Ирина
Published: June 2024

Аннотация. Произведения графики, использовавшиеся для иллюстрирования научных изданий XIX века в области географии, истории и этнографии в наши дни дают возможность составить представление о формировании видения Центральной Азии в процессе научного освоения малоизвестных в европейском интеллектуальном пространстве территорий и культур. Понимание истоков вхождения этнокультурного стереотипа Центральной Азии в научное знание Европы особенно актуально в наши дни на фоне глобализации культуры. Цели и задачи данной статьи, однако, не сводятся к философскому анализу формирования представлений о Центральной Азии, а носят более практический характер, так как рассматривают конкретные произведения из собрания Областного Музея изобразительных искусств имени семьи Невзоровых и заполняют некоторые пробелы в изучении биографий их авторов. Временные рамки данного исследования выходят за пределы обычного столетия, поэтому для полноты понимания общей картины был выбран условный культурно-исторический период, именуемый как «Долгий XIX век». Некоторые сведения, приведённые в данной публикации, будут использованы для дальнейшей атрибуции упомянутых в статье произведений. Материалы статьи могут быть интересны искусствоведам, культурологам, преподавателям и сотрудникам музеев.
КОЛЫБЕЛЬ – ИСТОК ПРЕКРАСНОГО
Authors: Алымкулова Сынару
Published: June 2024

Аннотация. В данной статье рассматриваются обычаи и обряды, связанные с укладываем младенца в колыбель, которая с древности по настоящее время играют огромную роль в укоренившихся традициях жизненного цикла человека. Колыбель воспринимается в сознании кочевника – кыргыза, как оберег ребенка, жилище в жилище, под покровительством Умай Эне, переходящего из лона матери в социальное и культурное пространство.
Исследователи колыбели-качалок «бешик» приходят к мнению, что у кочевых народов она не меняла своей формы с древности, а именно с гуннского времени. Обычаи и обряды кыргызского народа, связанные с рождением ребенка и укладыванием его в колыбель сопровождаются цепью праздничных событий. Так, рождение ребенка сопровождается радостной вестью, а принесший первым эту весть, как правило, получает «сүйүнчү» – вознаграждение за радостное известие; увидевшие ребенка дают вознаграждение родителям, бабушке с дедушкой и другим членам семьи «кɵрүмдүк».
В статье описаны одни из самых важных и торжественных событий в жизни новорожденного ребенка – обычай имянаречения, а также обряд укладывания с благопожеланиями в колыбельку-качалку – «бешикке салуу».

AMERİKA BİRLEŞİK DEVLETLERİ VE ÇİN HALK CUMHURİYETİ ARASINDA YAŞANAN ŞUBAT 2023 TARİHLİ BALON KRİZİ
Authors: Temiz Meryem
Published: June 2024

28 Ocak - 4 Şubat 2023 tarihleri arasında Amerika Birleşik Devletleri hava sahası üzerinde seyreden Çin Halk Cumhuriyeti’ne ait balon, tarafları krizin eşiğine getirmiştir. Yaşanan balon krizi, ABD ile ÇHC arasında süregiden “istihbarat savaşının” yeni bir veçhesi olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Makale, Şubat 2023'te gerçekleşen balon krizinin tarafları olan ABD ve ÇHC’nin karar alma süreçlerini, Graham Allison’ın üç farklı karar alma modeli üzerinden incelemiştir. Devletlerin dış politika kararlarına hâkim olan davranış kodları bulunmaktadır. Bu kodlar, dış politika analizlerinde önemli bir yere sahiptir. ABD dış politikasındaki karar alma süreci, krize doğrudan veya dolaylı olarak müdahil olan pek çok aktörün tesiri altında şekillenmektedir. Casus balon krizine ilişkin olarak karar alma sürecinde Başkan, Başkan’ın ekibi, Savunma Bakanlığı, Dışişleri Bakanlığı ve CIA arasında gerçekleştirilen pazarlıklar ve fikir teatileri, karar almada önemli bir rol oynamıştır. ÇHC’nin dış politika kararlarının alınmasında karar alıcı olarak rol oynayan temel aktörlerin ağırlığı incelendiğinde, Çin Hükümeti ve Komünist Parti yönetiminin dış politikaya etkisinin, (1990’lı yıllardan itibaren parti denetiminin azalmaya başlaması göz önüne alındığında) devlet başkanı Xi Jinping liderliği ve Çin Hükümeti lehine ağırlık kazandığı söylenebilir. Makalede, “Devletlerin dış politika kararlarına hâkim olan davranış kodlarının, devletlerin dış politikalarında karşılaştıkları krizlere yönelik karar alma davranışlarını şekillendirdiği” hipotezi sınanmıştır. Balon krizine ilişkin olarak ABD'nin karar alma davranışlarının açıklanmasında Allison’ın üç karar alma modelinden bürokratik siyaset modelinin öne çıktığı görülürken, ÇHC’nin dış politika karar alma davranışlarının açıklanmasında rasyonel aktör modelinin öne çıktığı görülmüştür.

Failure of International Agreements in Confronting Environmental Crimes: A Case Study of the Climate Crisis in Vanuatu
Authors: Putri Misliharira Shaumi , Puteri Ni Made Martini
Published: June 2024

The fossil fuel non-proliferation agreement comes in response to the escalating climate crisis threatening Vanuatu, which was raised by the President of Vanuatu at the 77th General Assembly of the United Nations.  This article analyzes the failure of international agreements as an effort to prevent environmental crimes that cause the global climate crisis, especially those felt by Vanuatu, as well as the extent to which international agreements can play a role in addressing these problems, as well as safeguarding the well-being of people in affected countries. The use of fossil fuels, which is still the primary energy in various countries, has become a focus in the context of environmental crimes because of its negative impact on the environment, including the climate crisis. Although these efforts are considered a step in the face of environmental crimes, their implementation is still limited. From a criminological perspective, the restriction of action through the law is a common approach to tackling crime. However, the issue of environmental crimes and international agreements shows the complexity involving many stakeholders. Taking into account the urgency of addressing the climate crisis and its impact on human rights, countries are expected to prioritize people's well-being. Through literature analysis, this article concludes that international treaties will not be effective in tackling environmental crimes without the support of domestic laws and policies, as well as the commitment of state leaders.

Studi Kasus Pada Putusan Mahkamah Agung Nomor 1055 K/PDT/2023 Terhadap Permasalahan Pembuktian Status Hukum Anak Luar Kawin Dari Ayah Biologisnya Ditinjau Dari Peraturan Perundang-Undangan Terkait
Authors: Setiawan Alya Hanifah
Published: June 2024

Pencatatan perkawinan berperan penting terhadap akibat-akibat hukum yang timbul dari sebuah perkawinan, seperti dalam halnya setelah seorang anak lahir, riwayat dan asal usul anak tersebut dapat dengan mudah untuk dibuktikan karena perkawinan yang mendahului proses kelahiran tersebut telah tercatat dengan baik, namun seorang anak sangat dimungkinkan terlahir tanpa keberadaan ayah secara yuridis. Demi menjamin hak-hak seorang anak yang lahir di luar perkawinan, Mahkamah Konstitusi memutuskan mengubah penerapan Pasal 43 ayat (1) UU Perkawinan yakni seorang anak yang lahir di luar perkawinan dapat memiliki hubungan keperdataan dengan laki-laki yang dapat dibuktikan berdasarkan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi dan/atau alat bukti lain menurut hukum yang membuktikan adanya hubungan darah sebagai ayahnya. Dengan demikian, pembuktian melalui tes DNA memiliki peran utama untuk menentukan status hukum anak yang lahir di luar perkawinan yang sah. Namun, terdapat kasus yang telah diputus oleh Mahkamah Agung dengan Nomor Putusan 1055 K/Pdt/2023 yang menyatakan seorang laki-laki merupakan ayah biologis dari anak yang lahir di luar perkawinan tanpa adanya suatu pembuktian melalui tes DNA sehingga menimbulkan sejumlah akibat hukum dari putusan tersebut.

Authors:   Research Scholar, Department of Commerce, Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidyapith, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India., Jha Gautam Kumar , Jaiswal Rajat
Published: June 2024

In recent years, India has seen a significant shift towards digital payments, with the government promoting cashless transactions under its flagship programme, Digital India. E-payment systems have the potential to transform the way transactions are conducted in the country. The government has taken various steps to promote the use of various digital payment systems, such as the introduction of UPI, QR payments, NEFT, RTGS, and Aadhaar-enabled payment systems. However, the adoption of e-payment systems is not uniform across the country, and there are variations in consumer readiness among individuals. This study analyses the readiness of consumers in Eastern Uttar Pradesh, India, towards e-payment services, which are becoming more popular in the country. The study relied on primary data collected from 250 respondents through questionnaires. The results showed that the level of consumer readiness for e-payment services in Eastern Uttar Pradesh is relatively low, with most people being reluctant to use these services due to issues related to security and trust. This study provides important insights that can guide policymakers and stakeholders in the e-payment industry on how to enhance consumer readiness and adoption of e-payment services in eastern Uttar Pradesh and India at large.

Authors:   Dept. of ECE, BGS Institute of Technology, Adichunchanagiri University, B G Nagara, Karnataka, India., M Hemashree , B C Kavitha , Ranganath Leena , S Suhas
Published: June 2024

This report outlines the development of an air gesture keyboard utilizing machine learning technology, designed to assist visually impaired individuals in entering text more easily. This innovative system removes the need for physical keyboards, instead employing a remote-based system that translates hand gestures into text through the use of an accelerometer, Arduino, and switches. There is a significant need for alternative input methods for visually impaired individuals due to the limitations of existing technologies. The proposed air gesture keyboard captures and interprets hand motions in the air, enabling users to input text without physical contact. A literature review was conducted to examine related research on hand gesture recognition using various techniques.

This article engages in a psychoanalytic critique of the trauma aesthetics in Ferdinand Oyono’s Houseboy. The study employs an explanatory research design, using qualitative methods to delve into the under-researched dimensions of colonial trauma depicted in the novel. Explanatory research is particularly suited for this study as it addresses problems that lack extensive previous research, sets priorities, generates operational definitions, and offers well-developed models for understanding complex issues. The study reveals that characterization is crucial in exposing colonial trauma, prominently illustrated by the character of Toundi, who suffers immensely on his deathbed. The agony of Toundi, along with other characters like Calisia, Sophie, and Toundi’s sister, underscores the deep psychological scars inflicted by colonial oppression. Keywords: Aesthetics, Houseboy, Psychoanalytic critique, Tragic end, Trauma

A significant number of studies in the past have failed to show the level of adherence to ergonomic principles in workstation practices between the academic and administrative staff members of a higher institution of learning. While contemporary empirical literature dwells on different aspects of occupational Ergonomics, this article is designed to present which of the two categories of staff of Bishop Stuart University adhere better to ergonomic principles in their respective workstation practices. More and more often, these two categories of staff members, though coexist in the same Niche, have their duties sometimes interwoven. The sad implication associated with this is the difficulty to define the employment status of some staff members at some certain point in our study. On this note, a historical background check is done, to subvert the problem. An analytic cross-sectional study was carried out on the two campuses of Bishop Stuart University within Mbarara City. A total of 112 participants participated in this study. Individual study participants were samples using the techniques of convenience and snowball. The tool used was a structured and validated questionnaire. Data collected were analyzed using Excel and SPSS version 25. Study findings revealed that academic staff adhered better than administrative staff to virtually all the principles of ergonomics in their workstation practices. It is presumed that this finding tuned out like that, because of differences like the work and level of education. Also, it was noted that the most widely applied principle was principle 1, which is working in a neutral position, we had n=46 (41.1%) among the academic staff members and n=17 (38.6%) among the administrative staff applying the principle. This study sought to investigate which of the two categories of staff members in BSU adhere better to ergonomic principles in their respective workstation practices. The study also, established that there is a need for workers to inculcate ergonomic principles into their workstation practices. Premised on the result obtained, it thus recommended that future researchers should consider the health implications of failure to adhere to ergonomic principles in workstation practices.

Consequently, to comprehensively elucidate themultifaceted dynamics surrounding advertising influence and consumer attitudesvis-à-vis purchase intention formation, this investigation scrutinizes the impacts ofEntertainment (E), Informativeness (INF), and social media (SM) on PurchaseIntention (PI, with a particular focus on the mediating influence of AdvertisingInfluence (AI). The conceptual underpinnings of this study draw upon establishedtheoretical frameworks, specifically the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) and theUses and Gratification Theory (U&G). Empirical data were gathered from asample comprising members of the general populace actively engaged in shoppingpursuits within retail establishments situated in urban centers across both Chinaand Pakistan. A total of 478 survey instruments were distributed and subsequentlyanalyzed to discern underlying patterns and associations. The methodologyemployed convenience sampling techniques to facilitate data collection, whilehypotheses were tested utilizing statistical analyses conducted through SPSS andSmart PLS SEM 3.0 software. Findings from this investigation underscore theprofound transformative influence exerted by social media, entertainment, and informativeness on individuals' lifestyles, as well as their perceptual orientations andbehavioral predispositions towards online advertising within the context ofPakistan. The implications of these findings extend beyond mere theoreticalcontributions, resonating significantly within the marketing domain by elucidatingthe pivotal role assumed by marketing practitioners in effectuating attitudinal andbehavioral shifts among consumers through strategic interventions leveragingthese antecedent variables. Moreover, this study serves to address extant gapswithin the scholarly literature, thereby enriching the collective understanding ofconsumer behavior dynamics. Looking ahead, future research endeavors mustembrace the inclusion of additional innovative variables and theoreticalframeworks, thereby facilitating the validation and contextual applicability of theproposed model across diverse cultural and geographical contexts.

Authors: Muhammad Siddique  , Afia Saadat
Published: June 2024

Leadership styles are different modes of behavior exhibited by administrators,managers or leaders, significantly influencing the motivation level of theiremployees within an organization. These styles include Transactional,Transformational, Autocratic, Democratic, Servant, and Laissez-faire leadership.Each style has unique characteristics, and its effectiveness depends largely on thesituational context. While some organizations inherently lean towards a particularleadership style, other may rarely practice certain styles. For instance, militaryorganizations typically favor transactional leadership, whereas educationalinstitutions often adopt a transformational approach. A theoretical model wasdeveloped from the literature to understand the effects of these different leadershipstyles on employees’ motivation. This model will be tested and verified later byusing primary data to be collected from university teachers in Dera Ismail Khan,Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.

Published: June 2024

Temyiz, bölge adliye mahkemesi ceza dairelerinin bozma dışında kalan hükümlerine karşı gidilen bir kanun yoludur. Temyiz incelemesi neticesinde Yargıtay tarafından; temyiz isteminin esastan reddi, bozma, düşme ve düzelterek onama kararları verilebilecektir. Yargıtay incelemesi sonrasında dosyanın gönderileceği mahkeme, Yargıtay’ın vereceği karara göre değişiklik gösterecektir. Bu husus 5271 sayılı Ceza Muhakemesi Kanunu (CMK) m.304’te kapsamlı bir şekilde düzenlenmiştir. Buna göre, CMK m.304/1’de Yargıtay’ın temyiz başvurusunun esastan reddine veya hukuka aykırılığın düzeltilerek onanmasına karar verdiği hallerde, dosya ilk derece mahkemesine gönderilmektedir. CMK m.304/2’de ise Yargıtay’ın bozma kararı sonrası dosyanın gönderileceği mahkeme ele alınmış olup CMK m. 304/2 genel kural teşkil etmektedir. CMK m.304/2-a, b hükümleri ise bunun istisnasını oluşturmaktadırlar. CMK m.304/2-a’da bozma kararının istinaf başvurusunun esastan reddi kararına ilişkin olması halinde dosyanın kararı veren ilk derece mahkemesine gönderileceği belirtilmiştir. CMK m.304/2-b’de ise bozma kararının hukuka aykırılığın düzeltilerek istinaf başvurusunun esastan reddi kararına ilişkin olması düzenlenmiştir. Bu durumda dosyanın kararı veren ilk derece mahkemesine ya da bozma kararının içeriği doğrultusunda Yargıtay’ca uygun görülmesi halinde bölge adliye mahkemesine gönderileceği ifade edilmektedir. Yargıtay’ın verdiği karara göre dosyanın hangi mahkemeye gönderileceğine ilişkin uygulamada ve öğretide birtakım tartışmalar bulunmaktadır. Bu tartışmaların ele alınması ve değerlendirilmesi gerekmektedir.

This research work focused on studying the fabrication of biopolymer carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) wrapped ZnO nano-composite materials (ZnO-CMC NCs) and its applications in the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) using under sunlight Irradiation. ZnO-CMC NCs were synthesized by using zinc acetate dihydrate as a precursor under alkaline conditions followed by the addition of capping agent CMC followed by calcination at various temperatures. The materials were characterized by FTIR, UV-Vis and powder XRD studies. The presence of CMC as a capping agent not only facilitated the nucleation and growth of (nanoparticles) NPs but also it provided stability and functionalization to the NPs. The varying calcination temperature played a significant role in influencing the size of NCs during the synthesis process. The crystallite size of ZnO-CMC NCs were found to be 19.5959 nm, 21.2518 nm, 23.5000 nm, 27.5930 nm, 34.9789 nm at 250°C, 350°C, 450°C, 550°C, and 650°C calcinations temperature respectively. It was observed that size increases slightly by increasing the calcination temperature from 250°C to 450°C. However, further increase in calcination temperature increases crystallite size significantly. The degradation of MB dye has been studies under UV-Vis spectrophotometer and it was observed that synthesized ZnO-CMC NCs were very efficient in the photocatalytic degradation of MB under natural sunlight. We believe that, these synthesized CMC-wrapped ZnO NCs will find wide range of photocatalytic applications for the treatment of organic pollutants in various dyes used in the chemical industries.

Many corneal lesions end in corneal blindness by opacity. Eye Bank, which is not yet available in Yemen, is the source of substituted corneal grafts to retain eye vision. This study compared percentages and incidence rates of corneal lesions in two samples of total 2600 patients in 1993 and 1440 patients in 2004 who attended the same clinic. From the total new eye patients, these with corneal lesions either isolated or combined underwent the same determinants to show demography, etiology, and laterality through documenting their basic data, full history, and examinations.
Results: Respectively among the tow samples, a total of (141) 5.42% and (135) 9.38% (belonging to (130) 5.0% and (118) 8.19% patients) had corneal lesions distributed among all age groups, with the age group of 19- 50 years constituted (66) 50.77% and (65) 55.08%. The demography in (number) percentage and incidence rates were as follows: samples were comparable higher among males in (80) 61.54%, 3.08%, and (84) 71.19%, 5.48%, monocular (130) 92.2%, 5.00%, and (118) 87.41%, 8.19%, and AGMH received (79) 66.94%, 5.49%, and (118) 87.0%, 8.00% of the total attendance from outside Sana'a city. Right eye was in (48) 34.04%, 1.85%, and (75) 55.5%, 5.21%. Among etiologies, the incidences were: trauma (69) 2.65%, (61) 4.24%, inflammation (36) 1.38%, 3.08%, and (18) 1.25%; both are controllable and constituted 66.7% and 51% of the total corneal lesions. Then degenerative lesions (12) 0.423%, (9) 0.625%, keratoconus (8) 0.307%, (12) 0.833%, edema (5) 0.231%, (12) 0.833%, dryness (5) 0.192%, (7) 0.278%, dystrophy (4) 0.154%, (8) 0.416%, congenital (2) 0.076%, (6) 0.416%, and tumors were only in 2004 as (2) 0.138%. Conclusion: The incidence rates of corneal lesions were 5.0 and 8.0%, and the proportions of the controllable trauma and inflammations were 66.67% and 51.1%, reflecting the need for wide distribution of eye health centers among the country.
