Türkiye'de Çalışanların Yoksulluğu, Yoksunluğu ve Sosyal Dışlanmaları
Authors: Kapar Recep
Published: June 2023

İstihdam, yoksulluktan kurtulmanın ve yoksullukla mücadele etmenin en etkili yolu olmakla birlikte, dünyada ve Türkiye’deki çalışanların bir kısmı için istihdam, bu işlevini yerine getirmekte yetersiz kalmaktadır. 2021 yılında Türkiye’de çalışanların yüzde 12,’si yoksul, yüzde 18,9’u sosyal dışlanma ve yoksulluk riski altında, yüzde 22,9’u ise maddi ve sosyal yoksunluk içindedir. Türkiye, Avrupa ülkeleri arasında çalışanların yoksulluk, sosyal dışlanma ve yoksunluk oranlarının en yüksek olduğu ülkelerden biridir. Gelir düzeyi, hane yapısı, hane çalışma yoğunluğu ve hanenin sosyal transferlere erişimi gibi çok sayıda değişken, çalışan yoksulluğunun belirleyicileri olarak sıralanabilir. Diğer yandan çalışan yoksulluğu verileri, çalışanların çalışma ve yaşam koşulları hakkında yeterli bilgi sağlamaktan uzaktır. Aynı zamanda yoksulluk, sosyal dışlanma ve yoksunluk risklerine maruz kalan çalışanlar, karmaşık ve heterojen bir grubu oluşturmaktadır. Çalışanları ve ailelerini bu tür risklerden korumak için farklı politikaların uygun bir bileşim içinde uygulanması gerekmektedir. Bu politikalara, (i) başta asgari ücret olmak üzere hane gelirlerinin yükseltilmesi, (ii) özellikle kadınların ücretli istihdamının artırılarak hanelerin çalışma yoğunluğunun geliştirilmesi, (iii) sosyal güvenlik sisteminde uygun nitelik ve kapsamda aile ve çocuk programlarının uygulanması, (iv) toplu sözleşmelerden yararlanan çalışan sayısının artırılması ile toplu sözleşme sisteminin merkezileşmesini desteklenmesi ve (v) sendikaların örgütlenmeleri önündeki engellerin kaldırılması gibi örnekler verilebilir.
Neoliberal Umursamazlık mı, Bakım Toplumu mu? Kahramanmaraş Depremleri Sonrasına Dair Düşünceler

Published: June 2023

Bu yazıda 6 Şubat 2023 Kahramanmaraş Depremleri sonrasındaki durum, neoliberal umursamazlık, dayanışma ve bakım toplumu kavramları çerçevesinde irdeleniyor. Yazıda, depremin yol açtığı olağanüstü yıkımın kısmen on yıllardır sürdürülen neoliberal politikalardan kaynaklandığı iddia ediliyor. Kâr ve ranta öncelik veren ve afet risklerini göz ardı eden bu politikalar yazıda neoliberal umursamazlık olarak nitelendiriliyor. Deprem sonrasında ise kentleri doğal afetlere daha dayanıklı hale getirmek için dayanışmayı büyütmek ve bakım odaklı topluluklar oluşturmak mümkün olabilir. Ancak neoliberal umursamazlık, bu ihtimalin önündeki en önemli tehdidi oluşturmaya devam ediyor.

Published: June 2023

Afetler sonucunda çocukların eğitime erişimi kısıtlanıyor, eğitim hizmetlerinin niteliği zarar görüyor, eğitim çalışanlarının risk altındaki çocukları destekleme olanakları azalıyor. Eğitime afet yönetimi döngüsünün her aşamasında önemli roller düşüyor. 6 Şubat 2023 depremleri sonrasında yürüttüğü çalışmalarda Eğitim Reformu Girişimi (ERG), depremlerin eğitime etkileri ile devreye sokulan eğitim politika ve uygulamalarını izlemenin yanı sıra sivil alanda dayanışmayı ve ortak izleme çalışmalarını desteklemeyi amaçlıyor. Bu çalışmalarda, eğitimin afet sonrasında toparlanma sürecinde oynayabileceği rollerle birlikte eğitimin olası gelecek afetlerin önlenmesinde ve/ya etkilerinin azaltılmasında üstlenmesi gereken roller de dikkate alınıyor. Depremler sonrasındaki müdahalelerin, depremler öncesinde de var olan kronikleşmiş sorunları ve kırılgan grupların ihtiyaçlarını dikkate alması gerektiği vurgulanıyor. Ayrıca, eğitim hizmetlerinin de önemli bir bileşeni olduğu çocuk koruma sisteminin güçlendirilmesine duyulan ihtiyacın altı çiziliyor.
Exploring the Impacts of Artistic Expression on Minority Communities in East Africa
Authors: Kambua Carol
Published: June 2023

Purpose: The aim of this study is to explore the impact of artistic expression on minority communities in East Africa.

Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low-cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through online journals and library.

Findings: The findings revealed that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to the impact of artistic expression on minority communities in East Africa. Preliminary empirical studies have shed light on the positive outcomes of artistic expression, including increased self-confidence, enhanced cultural awareness, improved mental well-being, and social cohesion within minority communities.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Critical Race Theory, Cultural Hegemony Theory, and Intersectionality Theory may be used to anchor future studies on the Impacts of Artistic Expression on Minority Communities in East Africa. Efforts should be made to provide accessible and affordable opportunities for minority individuals to engage in artistic expression. Moreover, governments, foundations and organizations should provide financial and institutional support for arts-based initiatives targeting minority communities. This includes funding for community arts programs, scholarships for aspiring minority artists, and grants for community-based arts organizations.

Published: June 2023

Boşanma, çiftlerin hukuki olarak evliliklerinin bitmesiyle sonuçlanan bütün aile üyelerini yakından etkileyen bir süreçtir. Bu süreçte aile üyelerinden en çok etkilenenler ise çocuklar olmaktadır. 2022-2023 eğitim öğretim yılı bahar döneminde Eskişehir İl merkezinde görev yapan 12 sınıf öğretmenini kapsamaktadır. Veriler yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu ile toplanmış ve içerik analiziyle çözümlenmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre; ebeveynlerden hangisi ile akademik iletişim kurma konusunda ikilem yaşadıkları, bu çocuklarda sevgi ve ilgi ihtiyacını daha fazla gözledikleri, çocukların ebeveynler arasında kaldıklarını düşünmektedirler. Çocuk kaynaklı olarak ise, boşanma sürecinin yeni olduğu anlarda çocuklarda dikkat dağınıklığının olduğunu, yine bu süreçte ders disiplinin bozulduğunu, aile kavramına karşı hassasiyetlerinin arttığını düşünmektedirler. Öğretmenlerin boşanmış aile çocuklarına yönelik doğru davranışlar sergilemeleri için uzmanlardan eğitimler almaları, çocukların bu süreçten kaynaklı travmalarını erken dönemde fark edep, gerekli yönlendirmeleri yapabilmeleri için takip formları oluşturmaları, boşanma sonrası sorun yaşayan ebeveyni okul aile işbirliği kapsamında gerekli kurum ve kuruluşlara yönlendirip destek almasını sağlamaları önerilmektedir

Published: June 2023

Faktor tidak berkembangnya teknologi di sektor pertanian Indonesia akibat ilmu tradisional yang masih diterapkan secara turun-temurun, menjadikan kemajuan teknologi di pertanian Indonesia sulit diterima. Bukan hanya itu saja yang menjadi faktor utama, tetapi faktor malas belajar akan adanya perkembangan teknologi juga menjadikan pertanian di Indonesia ini sulit untuk berkembang. Padahal jika petani itu  berkualitas dan berkomitmen untuk mengembangkan pertanian, hal ini bisa menjadi salah satu faktor keberhasilan pembangunan pertanian berkelanjutan. Rendahnya minat pemuda terhadap sektor pertanian juga menjadi faktor penyebab sulitnya teknologi  itu berkembang, hal ini disebabkan akibat banyaknya orang tua menganggap bekerja di kantor atau mempunyai usaha lebih menjamin daripada menjadi petani. Di era globalisasi saat ini, penguasaan teknologi merupakan prestise dan indikator kemajuan suatu negara. Suatu negara dianggap maju apabila memiliki tingkat penguasaan teknologi yang tinggi, sedangkan negara yang tidak dapat beradaptasi dengan kemajuan teknologi sering disebut sebagai negara gagal. Pada saat yang sama, Indonesia masih belum tergolong sebagai negara agraris yang maju, hal ini didasari oleh kurangnya kemajuan teknologi yang kurang berkembang. Disamping itu sumber daya manusia yang terdapat di Indonesia masih belum maksimal untuk meningkatkan kualitas di sektor teknologi pertanian. Kebanyakan para petani masih mengandalkan ilmu tradisional yang diturunkan secara turun-temurun dari nenek moyang. Dalam hal globalisasi ini diperlukannya suatu inovasi teknologi yang bisa membantu para petani agar dimudahkan dalam setiap pengerjaannya, dimana hal ini nantinya diharapkan bisa berkembang dan dapat memajukan sektor pertanian itu sendiri. Dengan diadakannya alat seperti itu juga tentunya menjadikan pertanian di Indonesia menjadi melek akan perkembangan teknologi.

Once in a while in world health history, endemic and/or pandemic occurs, killing people in great numbers and drawing back the pace of world development especially the developing countries. The origin of this devastating health condition could be traced to the Antonine Plague also known as Plague of Galen, which occurred between 165 – 180AD in Rome, where up to five million people were believed to have been killed by either smallpox or measles. In the recent time, developing countries including Nigeria’s economy have been set backward by pandemics, the last of it is the COVID-19 pandemic, which was argued in this paper to have been intentionally manufactured in the lab for defined objectives. Africa is among the prime target destination, but unfortunately, it did not happen as planned. The paper therefore, seeks to understand what was behind the survival of Nigerians in the midst of the pandemic and the justification for the vaccination. The study adopted the phenomenological and exploratory designs and our arguments were hinged on the propositions of the Social Theory of pandemic. Data were from the primary and secondary sources and were analysed using content analysis. The study concluded that the uncommon spread and low death rate in Nigeria and Africa is as a result of our natural body defense and ecological factors. So, it was recommended that indigenous critical stakeholders in the health sector should be engaged to source for local vaccine while we put a stop to the administration of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine or make it a matter of choice based on the uncommon spread and reports of blood clot.

Published: June 2023

Social media plays an important role and is proven to be a powerful, effective, efficient and more productive online marketing platform. However, despite the sophistication of technology and marketing power, the issue of low social media utilization limits the market competition power among local SMEs. Through adaptation of organizational theory, this study attempts to examine in detail the factors that influence the acceptance of social media as a marketing channel strategy among 165 SMI entrepreneurs around W.P Labuan. Based on PLS smart analysis found that 81.1% of the variance in the level of "social media acceptance (PMS)" can be explained by the characteristics of innovation (CCI), receiver characteristics (CCP), and environmental factors (PR). However, only receivers and environmental factors only have a significant relationship to the acceptance of social media while not to the characteristics of innovation. It is also evident that the recipient's characteristics are the highest factor influencing the acceptance of social media among SMIs in Labuan. Conclusions and future research proposals are also discussed.
Abstrak
Media sosial berperanan penting dan terbukti menjadi platform pemasaran atas talian yang sangat berkuasa, efektif, efisien dan lebih produktif. Walaubagaimanapun, disebalik kecanggihan teknologi dan kuasa pemasaran yang ada, isu penggunaan media sosial yang masih rendah membataskan kuasa persaingan pasaran dikalangan IKS tempatan. Melalui adaptasi teori organisasi, kajian ini cuba untuk meninjau secara terperinci faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi penerimaan media sosial sebagai strategi saluran pemasaran dalam kalangan 165 pengusaha IKS di sekitar W.P. Labuan. Berdasarkan analisis menggunakan smart PLS mendapati bahawa 81.1% daripada varians dalam tahap “penerimaan media sosial (PMS)” dapat dijelaskan oleh ciri-ciri inovasi (CCI), ciri-ciri penerima (CCP), dan faktor persekitaran (PR). Namun demikian, hanya ciri-ciri penerima dan faktor persekitaran sahaja yang mempunyai hubungan yang signifikan terhadap penerimaan media sosial manakala tidak kepada ciri-ciri inovasi. Turut dibuktikan bahawa ciri-ciri penerima adalah merupakan faktor yang tertinggi mempengaruhi penerimaan media sosial di kalangan IKS di Labuan. Kesimpulan dan cadangan kajian di masa depan turut dibincangkan.
