Abstract

Background:
A difficulty associated with forensic applications is the detection of degraded biological materials. Due to the large amplicon sizes of short tandem repeat alleles, valid genotyping results cannot be obtained from degraded biological materials. Recently, insertion/deletion (InDel) polymorphisms have been used in forensic applications for their widespread distributions in the human genome, short amplicon sizes, and low mutation rates.

Purpose:
Human identification InDel panels have mostly been designed for European populations. Therefore, our laboratory independently developed a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) system with 35 polymorphic InDel loci to be used for human identification in China. Forensic validation studies were conducted on this novel 35-InDel multiplex PCR system.

Methods:
The 35 InDel loci were screened in the database, and then used with the traditional PCR amplification and capillary electrophoresis platform combined with five-color fluorescence parallel detection technology. Validation studies were performed on this novel panel, including accuracy, repeatability and reproducibility, species specificity, sensitivity, stability, forensic case sample detection, and mixture studies. In addition, forensic efficiency assessments were conducted in populations from different continents.

Results:
The data of validated studies indicated that the novel 35-InDel panel was accurate, stable, and efficient for forensic purposes. For human identification, the cumulative power of discrimination values for the these 35 InDel loci in East Asian, South Asian, European, American, and African populations were 0.999999999999995, 0.999999999999995, 0.999999999999971, 0.9999999999999960, and 0.999999999998166, respectively.

Conclusions:
In this study, a set of 35 InDel loci were conducted in a multiplex amplification system for human identification of degraded DNA sample, and this new assay was efficient and stable. The present results suggested that the 35-InDel panel was a reliable tool for forensic use and could be efficiently used for human identification in the East Asian populations.

Abstract
One of the first tasks following humanitarian disasters is to identify the victims. DNA analysis of ancient skeletal remains is also important in forensic science. Recently, externally visible characteristics (EVCs) based polymorphism profile has provided forensic studies with greater speed and accuracy. In this study, eye color prediction based on IrisPlex single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on skeletal samples was evaluated. IrisPlex predictor SNPs (HERC2 – rs12913832, OCA2 – rs1800407, SLC45A2 – rs16891982, TYR – rs1393350, SLC24A4 – rs12896399, and IRF4 – rs12203592) of 12 forensic samples were analyzed by capillary electrophoresis (SNaPshot method). Our primary results showed that eye color prediction was accurate (8 dark, 3 blue, and 1 intermediate). The prediction of dark and blue eye colors could be suitable from ancient DNA provided from remain skeletal samples using only IrisPlex system, based on our results, IrisPlex system is a suitable method for the prediction of dark and blue eye color. All dark and blue eye color samples were fairly correctly predicted (sensitivity: 95% and specificity: 90%), however, intermediate eye color prediction needed a more informative SNP assay to predict all variations of eye colors. Finally, we concluded that the use of EVCs to identify eye color using skeletal remains is a suitable method and could be recommended for future forensic research.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
The field of forensic DNA typing, often referred to as “DNA fingerprinting,” has evolved and expanded considerably since its beginnings in the mid-1980s. Originally, forensic DNA typing was primarily used for individual identification and criminal investigations, but it has evolved into a versatile discipline with a wide range of applications. This article addresses the growing scope of forensic genetics, which includes advances in DNA sequencing technologies, mixture analysis, body fluid identification, phenotypic profiling, forensic genealogy, microbiological analysis, exploration of novel markers, and ethical and legal considerations. These developments have enabled the analysis of difficult samples and provided comprehensive insights into the origins of biological evidence. In an ever-evolving landscape, forensic genetics continues to shape the future of forensic science by providing new tools and techniques that help deliver justice in an increasingly complex world.
TÜRKİYE ENERJİ İTHALATINDA YENİLENEBİLİR ENERJİ ÜRETİMİ VE MAKRO EKONOMİK DEĞİŞKENLER
Authors: DAMAR Abdulsamet , YILDIRIM Figen 
Published: December 2023

Amaç: Dünyada sanayileşme süreci ile birlikte enerjiye olan talep hızla artarken üretimin en önemli girdilerinden biri olan enerji, uluslararası rekabetinde belirleyicileri arasında yer almıştır. Fosil enerji rezervlerinin dünya genelinde homojen dağılmaması sebebiyle Türkiye gibi petrol ve doğalgaz kaynakları sınırlı olan ülkeler, üretimde ihtiyaç duydukları enerjinin büyük bir kısmını ithal etmek durumunda kalmaktadır. Türkiye’nin enerjide dışa bağımlı bir ülke konumunda olması ve makro ekonomik verilere göre enerjiye olan ihtiyacının sürekli bir artış trendinde olması “Enerji İthalatı” kaleminin dış ticaret açığında önemli bir rol üstlenmesine neden olmaktadır. Dolayısıyla Türkiye’de yenilenebilir enerji üretimi, YEK-DEM ve diğer makro ekonomik değişkenlerin Türkiye’nin enerji ithalatındaki önemi vurgulanmak istenmiştir.
Yöntem: Bu çalışma ile 2017 – 2023 yılları için alık verileri kullanılarak serilere öncelikle VAR modeli uygulanmış, akabinde Johansen eş bütünleşme testi yapıldıktan sonra değişkenler arasındaki nedensellik ilişkisini ve yönünü saptamak için Granger nedensellik analizi yapılmıştır.
Bulgular: Türkiye’nin enerji ithalatı ile Yenilenebilir enerji üretimi, YEK-DEM, Enerji İhracatı ve Elektrik İhracatı arasında tek yünlü bir nedensellik ilişkisi varken nedenselliğin yönünün bağımsız değişkenlerden bağımlı değişkene doğru olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca Yenilenebilir enerji üretiminde meydana gelecek %1’lik artış Türkiye’nin enerji ithalatında %0,34’lik bir azalış sağlarken YEK-DEM kapsamındaki desteklerdeki %1’lik artış Türkiye’nin enerji ithalatında %0,38’lik bir azalış sağlayacaktır.
Özgünlük: Türkiye’nin gelecek yıllarda enerji ithalat bağımlılığını azaltması için yenilenebilir enerji üretimini artırması ve bu alanda geliştirilen YEK-DEM gibi önemli destek mekanizmalarının gücünün artırılıp ve kapsamının genişletilmesi faydalı olacaktır.

Published: December 2023

Purpose: Food aid creates a country dependent on foreign assistance rather than making it an agriculturally independent society with a stable, accessible, sustainable, and sufficient food supply. Food aid injected into the countries on the receiving end has been a destructive result on their food basket, bringing food deficit to the country. This study examines the effect of food aid on agricultural development in Bal’ad. This paper exposes the impact of food aid on agricultural production, domestic prices, and the consumption pattern.
Materials and Methods: The research methodology utilized in this study was an explanatory study. The population that was considered during this study comprised 200 farmers in Bal’ad district and 133 are sampled using Simple random sampling. The study used a questionnaire to collect data from respondents, analyzed by using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS 20).
Findings: The findings of the study indicated that food aid has a disincentive effect on domestic agricultural production; price and it also changed the consumption pattern of the local people. Finally, the study also indicates that food aid has a strong negative relationship with agricultural development in Bal’ad district (r = (-0.88) at the level α ≤ 0.005).
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: So, the researcher recommends for the effective management of food aid in Bal’ad district, the governments should increase their efforts in areas of scientific food research and in policy values that govern food aid in the country. This will in turn help to alleviate the country’s disincentive effects on food aid and foster positive long-term solutions to food aid.

Published: December 2023

Primary education is the foundation step of formal education, including various subjects, e.g., languages, science, mathematics, English, Urdu, and social studies, which require different subject teachers. Single-teacher schools face unique challenges such as limited resources (staff, teachers, etc.), a lack of support systems, and isolation, all of which can significantly impact pedagogical practices and attitudes. The study was opted to explore the relationship between pedagogical practices and attitudes of single primary school teachers. The study employed a descriptive research approach, and a survey technique was used for data collection. The population and sample were the same, i.e., 74 single primary school teachers (both male and female) in District Sargodha. Two questionnaires validated through experts' opinions and pilot tested with 0.92 Cronbach Alpha value) were used for data collection through personal visits. Data analysis was carried out using frequencies, percentages, mean scores, and Pearson correlation. The findings were that the overall pedagogical practices and attitudes of single primary school teachers were effective, except for the factor of teacher behavior and a moderate relationship between the teacher's pedagogical practices and attitudes. It is recommended that single teachers be relocated from overcrowded to understaffed primary schools to improve teaching practices and attitudes toward student learning.
The Dynamic Effects of Competition on Investment: The Case of the European Mobile Communications Industry
Authors: Bahia Kalvin , Castells Pau 
Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT
We evaluate the impact of competition on investments in Europe’s mobile communications market during the 2011 to 2021 period. There are stark and sustained differences in market outcomes between three- and four-player markets in Europe, and economic theory suggests these could be partly explained by the dynamic effects of competition on the ability and incentives to invest by market players. We find strong evidence that market concentration in Europe is below optimal levels that would maximize investments, especially in four-player markets. The dispersion of fixed costs and assets among a greater number of players can result in diseconomies of scale and a less efficient use of resources. We also find evidence that investment incentives to improve quality and innovate are lower in markets with lower concentration indices and profit margins.
The Social Prison: Ursula K. Le Guin’s The Dispossessed as Postanarchist Critical Utopia
Authors: Miller David W. 
Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT
Ursula K. Le Guin’s classic work of anarchist literature, The Dispossessed (1974), is preoccupied with the issue of imprisonment. This is hardly surprising given anarchism’s longstanding critical engagement with the prison as state apparatus. For classical anarchists, the prison represents one of the most vile and visible examples of state repression. However, while the abolition of prisons constitutes one of the fundamental goals of anarchism, the alternatives put forth by classical anarchist thinkers risk perpetuating the underlying power relations of carceral justice by encouraging social shaming and the policing of norms. The anarchist society of The Dispossessed uses these techniques to discourage the accumulation of power in order to create an egalitarian society. Unfortunately, these same techniques encourage a conformity that hinders other anarchist values, such as creativity and individual self-determination. In essence, the anarchist society depicted in the novel replaces the literal prison with a different form of imprisonment—the social prison, which continues the repressive function of the state through different means. By creating an “ambiguous” anarchist utopia, Le Guin anticipates the critiques of classical anarchism formulated by poststructural and postmodern anarchist theorists. These critiques are most evident in the theme of imprisonment that threads throughout the novel.

Published: December 2023

This study employed a pre-experimental research design with a population of 29 respondents. A sample of 27 respondents was selected using simple random sampling. Data collection was conducted using observation sheets, and data analysis was performed using the Paired Sample t test test. The study revealed that prior to engaging in the traditional game of snakes and ladders, all respondents were categorized as having underdeveloped gross motor skills (BB) (100%). However, after playing the traditional game of snakes and ladders, the majority of respondents were classified as having significantly improved gross motor skills (BSB) (93%). The analysis indicated that there was a significant influence of the traditional game of snakes and ladders on gross motor skills in children, with a significant result (2- tailed 0.000 ≤ 0.05). The difference in gross motor skills kindergarten children before and after being given stimulation through the Snakes and Ladders Game has a positive effect on the gross motor skills of children. Playing snakes and ladders provides stimulation that can enhance the gross motor skills of children aged 4-5 years. Therefore, the traditional game of snakes and ladders can be used as a stimulation tool to optimize the development of underdeveloped gross motor skills.
