Effect of Resistance Training on Adipose Tissue and Serum METRNL Levels in Sucrose Solution Fed Rats
Authors: Abdi Ziari Hadiseh , Safarzade Alireza
Published: July 2023

Background: Meteorin-like protein (METRNL) is a novel adipomyokine that may improve glucose tolerance, and its circulating levels are affected by changes in body weight. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of eight weeks of resistance training (RT) and high sucrose consumption on serum and adipose tissue METRNL levels in male rats. Methods: In this study, 32 Wistar male rats were divided into normal diet and high sucrose diet groups. After 4 weeks, each group was divided into control and training groups. The rats in the training group were subjected to the RT program (3 days/week, for 8 weeks). In addition to serum and adipose tissue levels of METRNL, we measured epididymal and mesenteric fat mass, serum glucose, insulin, and homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). Results: High sucrose diet increased fat weights and serum levels of glucose, insulin, and IR index; nevertheless, it reduced the serum levels of METRNL. RT decreased serum insulin concentrations and HOMA-IR. The result of two-way ANOVA and the t-test showed that eight weeks of RT decreased serum levels of METRNL, insulin, and HOMA-IR in sugar solution-fed rats. Conclusions: The results suggest that RT may be an effective intervention to reduce serum METRNL and HOMA-IR levels, which is associated with improving body composition.

Authors: Beigom Bigdeli Shamloo Marzieh , Elahi Nasrin , Shamsi Aziz
Published: July 2023

Background: This study was conducted to explain the Muslim husband’s attitude toward women undergoing mastectomy. Methods: In this content analysis research, 18 participants were selected by purposive sampling, semi-structured interviews were conducted, and the results were analyzed by the Elo and Kyngas method. Results: In this content analysis, the husbands found two approaches to the patient: A positive and a negative approach to the patient. A positive approach included making the patient more beautiful after illness, maintaining the patient’s beauty before and after the disease, and knowing the patient as a hero. A positive approach included loss of beauty after illness, decreased patient attractiveness after illness, disfigurement after treatment, and acceleration of aging in the last days of life. Conclusions: From the present study’s findings, it can be concluded that husbands’ views on women undergoing mastectomy are different and should be considered in psychological interventions between couples.
Analysis of developer-concessionaire rates for a proposed new private commercial port model
Authors:   , Roa Perera Iván
Published: July 2023

This investigation presents a study of the rates that generate economic flows between developers and concessionaires in the port sector based on the hypothesis that a private developer purchases the land on the waterfront and, with the approval of the state, creates a multi-activity port and concessions spaces to private operators. This thesis presents, therefore, the construction of a port and its business model through a private initiative.
For the model to be successful, certain contextual conditions must arise that characterise demand, prices and legal conditions, among other aspects. Having established the regulatory parameters of these contextual conditions, the economic flows generated by the various rates are studied and their importance relative to the developer and concessionaire are assessed through the construction of a mathematical model that allows the determinants to fluctuate and to study, on the basis of these fluctuations, the profitability of each one.
Moreover, within the model, a module has been created that enables the researcher to determine whether the concessionaire may be awarded discounts on their rates based on the performance in certain operational aspects. Both the mathematical model and rate correcting module are validated through their application in a practical case and, in this way, the importance of each rate and how the bonuses affect the performances of the developer and concessionaire are assessed.

La presente investigación aborda el estudio de los cánones que generan los flujos económicos promotor-concesionario/s en el ámbito portuario, partiendo de la hipótesis en la que un promotor privado adquiere terrenos en primera línea de mar y, con el beneplácito del Estado, crea un puerto multiactividades y concesiona espacios a operadores también privados. Se trata, por tanto, de la construcción de un puerto y de su modelo de negocio a partir de la iniciativa privada. Para que el modelo sea exitoso, deben darse unas condiciones de contorno determinadas que caracterizan demanda, precios y condicionantes legales, entre otros aspectos. Establecidos los parámetros reguladores de estas condiciones de contorno, se estudian los flujos económicos generados por los distintos cánones y se evalúa su importancia relativa para promotor y concesionario a partir de la construcción de un modelo matemático que permite hacer fluctuar los condicionantes y estudiar, en base a estas fluctuaciones, las rentabilidades de cada uno. Adicionalmente se crea dentro del modelo una parte que permite determinar si los concesionarios pueden obtener descuentos en sus cánones, en base al desempeño en determinados aspectos de su operativa. Tanto el modelo matemático como el modulo corrector del canon se validan a partir de la aplicación en un caso práctico y, de este modo, se evalúa la importancia de cada canon y como afectan las bonificaciones a las rentabilidades de promotor y concesionario.

The research carried out is part of the field of study of Collective Intelligence (CI) with the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in Higher Education.
The heart of this research was focused on the study, design and construction of electronic tools according to the paradigms of CI, to be applied in Higher Education. As an instrument for the implementation of these tools, an educational model with a collective work approach was designed.
The research strategy used was Design-Based Research (DBR), because it investigates a phenomenon in its real context, iterative and incremental, and it is especially recommended for the field of education. DBR in each experimental cycle updates literature, model and tools.
Empirical studies were conducted in four universities and fields of study in Latin America and Europe.
The refinements demanded by the research strategy provided the scientific and empirical evidence to design ICT tools that meet the requirements of CI. In addition, the results indicate that the educational model and the tools have generated a positive perception in teachers and students about the effects on the teaching-learning process. Based on this fact, the experimental cycles present significant contributions to the research carried out around the CI with ICT tools in Higher Education.

The book used in the teaching activities at the Nimrah Higher Institute of Lamongan is the Arabic “بين يديك سلسلة في تعليم اللغة العربيىة لغير الناطقين بها".” Likewise, in this institute, it included factors in the education process, such as the presence of the educational curriculum, the educational book, and the calendar.  However, in this institute, the level of students’ understanding of the lessons is different, especially in the Arabic language. Some of them are superior to everyone else, and some of them are moderate, and some of them need additional help outside the classroom in order for everyone to understand the lesson.  Therefore, the researcher prepares additional educational materials that help develop the four language skills. As for the research method, it is the developmental method for analyzing and explaining the data and results in the effectiveness of using the educational book. The research is conducted on the design of the pre and post test. As for the result of the research, the preparation of educational materials in teaching the Arabic language at the Namira Higher Institute for Additional Study is well prepared by the researcher, as the additional book goes through many design, arbitration, correction, modification, then field experience, and finally the final production, which is the additional book. The additional book for the development of the four skills at Namira Higher Institute Lamongan is good, as the result of the students after teaching the book is higher than before the education, and that is because the average result of the students in the pre-test is 67.8125%, and when the post-test is in the percentage of 89.625%.  Likewise, the number of "t arithmetic" is greater than the number of "t table", which is 9,156. Depending on those results obtained by the students in the pre and post test, the result of the (t-test), and the result of the questionnaire, it was found that the additional book designed to develop the four language skills at Namira Higher Institute Lamongan is effective.  It has a positive effect on the development of language skills.
Mu'allimu al-Lughah al-'Arabiyyah wa al-Musykilaat al-Mihniyah fi Nigeria
Authors: Garba Ahmad
Published: July 2023

Arabic language its teachers and intellectuals have been facing difficulties and obstacles for a long time in Nigeria, and these difficulties are often   related to their profession, Unfortunately, this language has encountered obstacles that impede its tremendous growth and development, Professional problems are among the most challenges facing many teachers of Arabic and Islamic studies in the country. These challenges started from the Nigerian educational policy, where the Arabic language was placed in third place among the foreign languages used in the country, despite the large number of Muslims and those interested in the Arabic language, This  is due to the lackadasical attitude of   government towards Arabic and Islamic studies teachers, and for this reason it is difficult for them to compete side by side with their counterparts from other fields in terms of professional development. On that basis, this paper aims to discuss the professional problems and obstacles bedeviling Arabic and Islamic studies teachers in Nigeria, and also intends to bring forward some solutions and way forward to that obstacles.
Toward an Adequate Theoretical Framework for Interpreting Complex Signification in Music
Authors: Hatten Robert S. ,   Semiotic Society of America
Published: July 2023

A fundamental issue for music semiotics is how we might address the signification and interpretation of complex amalgams that do not neatly subdivide into what I call “atomistic signs.” At all levels of musical organization, we are confronted with complex amalgams that demand a more synthetic kind of perception and cognition (e.g., gestures) or a more integrative approach to reconstruction and implementation (e.g., musical styles, understood as competencies guiding interpretation). Although many music-theoretical models helpfully address the temporality of musical events, they cannot fully capture the immediacy of a complex musical gestalt that demands qualitative, aesthetic, affective, and, ultimately, synthetic interpretation. This essay considers ways we can enhance our theoretical understanding of, and our own competency for, musically artistic interpretation. I conclude with an application of this approach to the opening of the Sarabande from Bach’s keyboard Partita no. 4 in D Major.
Ibn ʿArabī’s School of Thought: Philosophical Commentaries on Fuṣūṣ al-ḥikam, not a Sufi Order
Authors: van Lit L. W. Cornelis ,   Journal of Islamic Philosophy
Published: July 2023

Followers of Ibn ʿArabī are considered to constitute an “Akbari” school of thought. The use of the term ‘school’ assumes some sort of cohesion, but the nature of this has been little studied. I argue that adherents found a substitute for the in-person study sessions (sing. majlis) that were common among Sufis, by identifying Fuṣūṣ al-ḥikam with Ibn ʿArabī. Thus they were able to establish a direct connection with their preferred master by reading and commenting on this book. By placing their own commentary among other commentar­ies on the Fuṣūṣ, they created a bookish majlis; a dialogue with their master and other students similar to an in-person majlis. Whether conscious or subconscious, this idea became prevalent: no real organization such as a Sufi order came to be, but instead we have dozens and dozens of direct commen­taries. Making Fuṣūṣ al-ḥikam an icon for Ibn ʿArabī became, at times, so strong as to turn the book into an idol or effigy.

The article presents a description and systematization of lexical borrowings in the Central Podillia dialect in 10 settlements of Vinnytsia and Khmelnytskyi regions. The object of study is the Central Podillia dialect, because this area has a high heuristic potential for studing the mechanisms of interlanguage contact: Podillia is located on the border of different states, on the borders of the lands of different peoples, the borders of the Kyiv, Volyn and Halytsky principalities, the Tatar uluses, of the Principality of Lithuania, Poland, Moldova and Turkey, Russia and Austria came together here at different times. The subject of the analysis is the names of food and drinks. In the analyzed dialect materials, it was recorded 98 lexemes (17.8% of all nomens) for food and drinks, the etymons of which go back to Indo-European, Turkic, Caucasian, Finno-Hungarian, Sino-Tibetan languages. The largest number of borrowings in the thematic group of food and drink names of the Central Podillia dialect is attested from the languages of the Indo-European language family. The most frequently borrowed lexemes were recorded from the Romance group (41 nomens), in particular from the following languages: French (18 nomens), Latin (11 nomens), Italian (8 nomens), Romanian (3 nomens), Spanish (1 nomen). The least represented Greek language group, from which 6 nomens were borrowed. Many borrowings (24 nomens) are attested from Slavic languages, in particular from Russian (12 nomens), Polish (11 nomens) and Czech (1 nomen) languages. The Germanic group of languages, in particular German (12 nomens) and English (2 nomens), is also represented by various names for food and drinks in the dialects of Central Podillia. The following language families were less popular for borrowing the names of food and drinks in the dialects of Podillia: Turkic (6 nomens), Finno-Hungarian (3 nomens), Caucasian (3 nomens) and Sino-Tibetan (1 nomen). The established genetic affiliation of the identified lexical borrowings to a specific linguistic source is determined by historical, socio-economic, political and cultural factors of the development of Podillia. In the future, the analysis of isolex borrowings in the Podillia dialect may become a perspective for the study of foreign loanwords in the dialects of Podillia.
István Kótyuk and the Hungarian dialects of Transcarpathia
Authors:   Ferenc Rakoczi II Transcarpathian Hungarian College of Higher Education, Dudics Lakatos Katalin , Tóth Péter ,   ELTE Savaria University Centre
Published: July 2023

István Kótyuk is known as a versatile scholar in Transcarpathia and beyond the borders of his homeland. He is known to dialectologists primarily as a researcher of the Ung-Vidék dialect and of Ukrainian vocabulary, to lexicographers as a researcher of the Ukrainian-Hungarian and Hungarian-Ukrainian dictionary database edited by István Udvari, and to literary scholars as a literary translator. István Kótyuk is known among Transcarpathian Hungarians primarily as a textbook writer. We would like to talk about István Kótyuk as a dialectologist and Transcarpathian representative of applied dialectology. István Kótyuk published his first studies in various university publications and conference proceedings in Uzhhorod, and in 1974 he defended his thesis on Ukrainian dialects of the lower Ung River in Hungarian dialects. At the time, it was not possible to publish the thesis in print, and the few copies of the typed manuscript were difficult for specialists to access. It was well known that István Kótyuk was very fond of plants, especially flowers. He was not only interested in the care of plants, but also in their names. István Kótyuk took part in the linguistic-geographical research and landscape collections of the Hungarian Department in Uzhhorod. In addition to his work on dialect research, István Kótyuk also played a significant role in the practical application of the Hungarian language, in the implementation of the reform of mother tongue teaching and in the development of the theoretical background. As the leader of the working group that developed the Hungarian language curriculum in 2005, he considered it important to emphasise the issue of dialects and local language varieties. István Kótyuk has combined the traditions of classical dialectology with the main goals of applied dialectology in the study of dialects in Transcarpathian Hungarian: the results of his scientific research have been widely disseminated and used in practice through his textbooks. Independently of the official guides, he conveyed an objective, rational approach to non-standard varieties in the manuals he wrote, thus increasing the prestige of local language varieties.
How can a diachronic analysis of the linguistic landscape be used in dialectology (on the example of the Transcarpathian region)?
Authors:   University of Szeged, Shylov Volodymyr
Published: July 2023

This article was written as part of a diachronic analysis of the linguistic landscape of the Transcarpathian region (Zakarpattia oblast) in Ukraine. The diachronic approach is no longer a new method in this field of research, but for the first time, it is used here specifically for dialectological purposes. The main goal of this paper is to prove that works on the study of the linguistic landscape can be useful in a much wider range of linguistic (and not only) disciplines, and dialectology in particular. For this, two types of data were analyzed. The first type includes dictionaries and written documents in the local version of the Ukrainian language from different historical periods, starting with the 16th century and ending with independent Ukraine. The second one includes street signs of modern Transcarpathian cities where the dialect is used. By combining these two types of data, it is possible to analyze: 1) since when the dialectal elements that we have now on the streets begin to be recorded in historical materials; 2) which dialectal elements have survived to this day and continue to be actively used by the local population. It is important because the existence of local words on street signs itself automatically indicates their real use in the Transcarpathian region. No person or private enterprise will write something incomprehensible to the locals, because their profit depends on it. That is why the linguistic landscape of modern streets makes it possible to conduct the most objective analysis of the dialectal elements of Transcarpathia, and the diachronic approach allows us to support this material with data from historical documents. In addition, we will explain why such inscriptions appear more often on Transcarpathian streets and how this is related to the phenomenon of language commodification, that is, the process of turning a language (or, in our case, a dialect) into a commodity. We will also consider interesting examples and explain the difference between directly foreign words and transliterated Transcarpathian dialectal elements that were borrowed from Hungarian or other languages. The text is accompanied by photographs taken by the author of this article during trips to Transcarpathia in 2019-2021.

In the 2022–2023 academic year, in addition to the previously conducted mathematics competency assessment the Ferenc Rákóczi II Transcarpathian Hungarian College of Higher Education also measured reading comprehension. The aim of the survey was to examine all the first-year students. However, due to the continuous air raids and upper respiratory epidemics, the initial plan to involve all the first year students could not be successfully completed. This age group was selected because after finishing school the maturity exam in Hungarian language measures the ability to comprehend a text. Thus, the results obtained provide a credible picture of the effectiveness of mother tongue teaching in schools, while also providing empirical data that outline the detailed components and possible causes of poor reading comprehension competence, which is a serious problem to be solved. Overall, the assessment of reading comprehension at the institution can be described as useful. Most of all, it can be seen as a pilot test the data of which can be used effectively in the coming years for the development of effective teaching methods and mother tongue teaching in schools, in particular. The obtained results revealed certain difficulties in reading comprehension and highlighted the necessity of these measurements at the level of higher education. After all, improving the reading comprehension skills of Hungarian schoolchildren in Transcarpathia is primarily the task of teachers, and not only of primary school teachers and Hungarian language teachers.
Implementation and Impact of Language Policy: The Case of Kyrgyz Students
Authors:   University of Pannonia (Hungary), Mambetaliev Askarbek
Published: July 2023

Language policy is crucial to any society's cultural and political fabric, as it shapes how individuals and groups communicate, interact, and identify. Language policy has important implications for nation-building and the creation of national identity. Language policy can also significantly impact university students' sense of belonging. Overt and inclusive policies can provide opportunities for students to develop language skills and cultural competencies, enhancing their academic and professional opportunities. Covert and implicit policies can create barriers to interaction between different language groups, leading to social fragmentation, exclusion, and discrimination. Overt language policies are those that are openly acknowledged and implemented, while covert policies are those that are more subtle and may be hidden. Overt language policies that promote a single national language can unite diverse groups within a nation. However, these policies can also lead to the suppression of linguistic and cultural diversity within a nation, potentially undermining the cultural richness of that society. Covert language policies can also have significant impacts on identity and national unity. For example, language policies not openly acknowledged can lead to confusion or mistrust among different language groups. These policies can reinforce power imbalances between language groups, perpetuating existing inequalities. Considering these concepts, this study aimed to answer the following questions: 1. What LP has been implemented in Kyrgyzstan? 2. How has LP affected university students? Information on the language policy implemented in Kyrgyzstan was necessary to answer the first question, which involved examining laws, banknotes, newspaper titles, and dissertation catalogs. It was necessary to gather data on how the language policy has affected the students to answer the second question. In addition, in-depth interviews with LP experts helped clarify both questions. The collected information was analyzed using textual analysis and statistical methods. Data analysis showed that different models of language policy were implemented in Kyrgyzstan, including multilingualism, bilingualism, and monolingualism. Overt, covert, and vague LP were used to promote these models. These models and methods have formed segregated communities, language discrimination, and different linguistic identities within the same ethnic groups.

The rise in accumulation of agricultural wastes has demanded ways of effectively utilising this waste and converting them into useful products. A large portion of the agricultural waste comprises of lignocellulose. Lignocellulose, being the most abundant carbon source available, can be used as a substrate to convert into useful products like lactic acid and ethanol. However, lignocellulose bio-conversion comes with its own challenges, mainly due to its complex structure. There are several parameters affecting the efficiency of bioconversion of lignocellulose into lactic acid. This review will focus on one of the parameters involved i.e., the effect of oxygen in facilitating the efficient conversion of lignocellulose into lactic acid. Studies have shown that the yield of lactic acid is high-er when the fermentation is carried out under anaerobic conditions. The review also touches upon the different methods and compounds used for switching between aerobic and anaerobic conditions.
Religious Moderation In Slogans, Practices, and Madrasah Reflection
Authors: Maspeke Fithriyah
Published: July 2023

The lack of understanding of madrasah students about the concept of religious moderation and the lack of encounters between religions in society is the main basis for this research literature study. Religious moderation is a discourse as well as a practice needed in a multicultural society such as in North Sulawesi. This means that where there is diversity, that is where the value of moderation must be present and become the lifeblood of the link between members of the community. The results of the study indicate that there are solutions that can be implemented in strengthening religious moderation, including creating or using existing mottos in society as a basis for instilling religious moderation values, such as the mottos of torang samua basudara and torang samua created by God in North Sulawesi. Building houses of worship side by side, of course, can open meeting spaces and increase the intensity of encounters between religions as the main capital in strengthening religious moderation. In madrasas, madrasas can make madrasah moderation days and hold interfaith student exchanges so that religious moderation is familiar among madrasah students who are part of the millennial generation. Then, you can also make a religious moderation accompanying diploma as a sign of the maturity of student religious moderation which is oriented towards attitudes and moderation schools as an alternative to strengthening community religious moderation, especially the millennial generation.

Religion is a value system, and as such, it creates its own conflicts and challenges for experts and their adherents to arrive at values that are agreed upon by all parties. Humans need religion to fulfill their material needs, such as physical, biological and social needs, as well as their spiritual needs in order to function in society. As a result, God expects people to work hard to earn their gift sand food in a morally acceptable way. Humans always need food, which is one of their basic needs. Food processing must be good and right so that it is beneficial to the body. Anything made from biological sources or water, whether or not it has been processed, and intended to be consumed as food or drink, is considered food or food product. To limit human impulses as a means of self-defense, religion acts as a binder that also controls food.

As doctors increasingly rely on technological advancements, ever-improving laboratory techniques, and imaging modalities, the importance of a thorough physical evaluation and bedside manner has been noticeably diminished. When it comes to patients scheduled for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), the preoperative bilateral arm blood pressure (BP) measurement is often omitted; thus, sinister signs of atherosclerotic disease like the brachial gradient are neglected and the surgical plan is jeopardized. We present the case of a 72-year-old male listed for CABG, stressing the necessity of meticulous clinical examination and the routine use of color Doppler ultrasonography (CDUS), prior to surgery. This case aims to highlight the major role of thorough preoperative clinical assessment. The bilateral BP measurement and CDUS are two reliable, expeditious, noninvasive preoperative screening methods, which can detect patients with generalized atherosclerosis, altering, if necessary, the surgical plan, and aiming for the best possible outcome, without complications.

Objective: To investigate the importance of preoperative cervical Pap smear in patients with endometrial cancer and the impact of it on the prognostic risk groups of endometrial cancer.
Methods: The preoperative cervical cytology results of 423 patients who underwent staging surgery for endometrial cancer between the years of 2010 and 2020 in the gynecological oncology clinic of the tertiary center were examined in a retrospective observational study. The relations between cervical Pap smear results and pathological prognostic factors of endometrial cancer such as tumor histology, tumor size, FIGO grade, lymphovascular space invasion and FIGO stage were evaluated in detail. The impact of cervical cytology results in the prognostic risk groups (molecular classification unknown) specified in the ESGO/ESTRO/ESP (2020) guideline was also examined. SPSS version 25.0 program was used in the analysis of the data.
Results: Abnormal cervical Pap cytology was present in 12.1% (n= 51) of the patients included in the study. Significantly more abnormal cervical cytology was observed in the high prognostic risk groups (p= 0.017), tumors with non-endometrioid histologic types (p= 0.001), and patients with adnexal involvement (p= 0.007). In the subgroup analysis of endometrioid type endometrial adenocarcinomas, as the FIGO grade increased, the rate of abnormal cervical cytology increased significantly (p= 0.014).
Conclusions: Pre-operative cervical cytology abnormality may predict the need for intra-operative systematic surgical staging and postoperative adjuvant therapy.

Kamu harcamaları iktidar ve halk arasındaki iletişim kanallarından biridir. Eğer kamu harcamaları etkin ve verimli bir şekilde gerçekleştirilirse, seçmenler iktidar partisine oy vermek suretiyle destekte bulunur. Ancak kamu harcamaları etkin ve verimli bir şekilde gerçekleştirilmezse seçmenler muhalefetteki partilere oy vermek suretiyle iktidar partisini cezalandırırlar. Bu süreç içinde kamu harcamalarının gerçekte ve sözde artışları da seçmenlerin tercihlerinde önemli bir rol oynar. Ancak bazı durumlarda öngörülmeyen neticeler ortaya çıkabilmektedir. Söz gelimi kamu harcamalarının görünüşte artması seçmenler üzerinde olumlu bir etki yaratırken, kamu harcamalarının gerçekte artışı seçmenler üzerinde olumsuz bir etki yaratabilir. Ayrıca kamu harcamalarının etkin ve verimli şekilde yapılması oy kaybına sebep olabilirken, etkin ve verimli olmayan kamu harcamaları oy artışı yaratabilir. Bu durum her ne kadar çelişki gibi görünse de, temelde maliye teorisine ilişkin birtakım kavramlar yatmaktadır. Örneğin mali aldanma bu çelişkiyi açıklayabilecek bir kavramdır. Öte yandan vergi mevzuatındaki boşluklar nedeniyle vergiden kaçınan mükellef sayısının artması ekonomide bazı etkinsizlikler ortaya çıkartacaktır. Bu tip olumsuz mali durumların aşılması için vergiye uyumun sağlanması gerekir. Vergi bilinci böyle bir sorunu çözecek bir kavramdır. İşte bu çalışmada da vergi bilinci ve kamu harcamaları arasındaki ilişki farklı değişkenler üzerinden değerlendirilerek anket yoluyla analiz edilmiştir. Anketin katılımcıları ise 18 yaş üstü ve en az ortaöğretim mezunu kişilerdir. Ulaşılan sonuçlar ise şu şekildedir: Bireyler ödedikleri verginin bir karşılığı olarak kamu harcamalarından etkinlik ve verimlilik beklemektedir. Ayrıca vergi ödeme eylemi ile kamu harcamaları arasında bir illiyet bağı aranmaktadır. Buna ek olarak katılımcılarda kamu harcamalarında israf ve savurganlığın yaşandığı yönünde bir algı oluşmuştur. Son olarak katılımcılar şeffaflığın hükümet politikalarına olan güvenin belirleyicisi olduğu yönünde kanaat belirtmişlerdir.
Denetim Komiteleri ve Kurumsal Yönetim Uygulamaları Arasındaki İlişki: Kavramsal Analiz ve Teorik Çerçeve

Kurumsal yönetim kavramına yönelik uluslararası literatürde genel bir tanım bulunmamakla birlikte konuya ilişkin standartların belirlenmesi konusunda ciddi çalışmaları bulunan OECD tarafından yapılan tanım, genel kabul görmüş durumdadır. Bu tanıma göre kurumsal yönetim, işletmelerin sermayedar, üst düzey yöneticiler, yatırımcılar, finansal kaynak sağlayan kuruluşlar, ürün ve hizmet temin eden ve satın alanlar, kamu otoritesi ve diğer paydaşlarının hak ve yükümlülüklerini tespit eden ve paydaşlar arasındaki ilişkiyi düzenleyen yapılar bütünüdür. Kurumsal Yönetim ile ilgili ilk çalışma olan Cadbury Raporunda (1992), kurumsal yönetimin amaçları da açıklanmıştır. Söz konusu amaçlar, işletmeler için güvenli bir ortamın oluşturulması, işletme yönetiminin yasal kurallara uyması ve işletmenin amaçlarına uygun biçimde hareket etmesi, yönetim kurulunun hesap verilebilirlik ilkesine uyması, hissedarların yönetimdeki haklarının korunması şeklinde belirtilmiştir. Diğer yandan SPK, denetim komitesini; üst yönetim adına işletmenin muhasebe sisteminin, iç kontrol sisteminin işleyiş ve etkinliğinin gözetim faaliyetini üstlenen, bağımsız denetim firmasının seçiminden, bağımsız denetim raporunun hazırlanma sürecinin tamamında aktif rol alan bir yapı olarak tanımlanmaktadır. TÜSİAD ise denetim komitesini, kurumsal yönetim ilkeleri çerçevesinde işletmenin performansı ile ilgili yapılan her türlü iç ve bağımsız denetimin kaliteli, şeffaf şekilde yapılmasını amaçlayan ve muhasebe-finans, işletmenin yönetmelik ve prosedürlerini bilen, alanında deneyime sahip en az iki üyeden oluşan bir komite şeklinde tanımlamıştır. Kurumsal yönetimin başta risk yöneyimi olmak üzere iç denetim, bağımsız denetim, denetim komitesi, yönetim kurulu gibi pek çok yapıyla etkileşim halinde bulunmaktadır.  Kurumsal yönetimin bir parçası olan denetim komiteleri, işletmeye ilişkin tarafların haklarını ve çıkarlarını gözetmek için işletme yönetimi, bağımsız denetçilerin ve iç denetçilerin gözetimi sorumluluğunu üstlenmiştir. Bu çalışmada, kurumsal yönetim uygulamaları ve denetim komiteleri arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Bu kapsamda kurumsal yönetim ve denetim komitesi kavramları ile bunlarla ilgili diğer konular kavramsal çerçevede ele alınmıştır.
