Abstract

Aim
The aim of the study was to assess the validity and reliability of the Citizenship Fatigue Scale in a Turkish context.
Method
This methodological study involved 321 randomly selected nurses from a population of 650 at a public hospital. Data were collected using the Nurse Information Form, Citizenship Fatigue Scale, and Compulsory Citizenship Behavior Scale. The scales' validity and reliability were assessed through content and construct validity, test-retest reliability, internal consistency, criterion-related validity, and item-total score correlations.
Results
The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) values and Bartlett's test of Sphericity for the Citizenship Fatigue Scale were found to be significant. The scale items were grouped under a single factor, with an eigenvalue greater than 1, accounting for 68.41% of the total variance. It was determined that the factor loadings of the scale items ranged from 0.624 to 0.879. A positive and significant correlation was found between citizenship fatigue and compulsory citizenship (r = 0.654; p = 0.000), confirming the criterion validity of the scale. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the scale was found to be 0.929, indicating high internal consistency.
Conclusion
As a result of the validity and reliability analyses conducted in this study, it was determined that the Citizenship Fatigue Scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool for use with nurses in Türkiye. It is recommended that the scales be tested on samples from different occupational groups to further assess their applicability and generalizability.
Implications for nursing practice and nursing policy:
Measuring organisational citizenship fatigue among nurses is necessary to identify, prevent or reduce the factors that cause this fatigue. This study provides information in this area and helps managers and organisations to identify the causes of citizenship fatigue among nurses. Policy makers and managers should develop and implement interventions at both organisational and individual levels.

Abstract

Recent ecological studies have focused on mathematical modeling, analysis and simulations of thespatial-temporal population distribution of interacting species. In this work, we try to comprehendthe spatiotemporal dynamics that are impacted by the prey-taxis coefficient in an environment wheregeneralist predators induce fear and have carryover effects that trigger both prey and predator populationsto form clusters. By validating the analytical requirements, the suggested model exhibits afinite-time blow-up dependent on initial data. This phenomenon has been numerically confirmed forpredator species. In addition, we expand the spatial model in a discrete environment. Stability analysishas been done for the non-spatial model, the spatial model on networks, and the continuous medium.This study explores the development of spatial patterns in both networked and non-networked environments,specifically comparing the formation of Turing patterns in network framework with thoseobserved in continuous media while considering various network topologies. The combined effects ofthe fear parameter, network structures, and the prey-taxis coefficient are shown to influence Turingpatterns. Different parameter sets cause distinctive patterns, like spots and stripes, to emergegradually. Our simulations demonstrate the effects of various network layouts, namely Lattice (LA),Barabsi-Albert (BA), and Watts-Strogatz (WS) networks, on the node density distribution and thetime needed for patterns to stabilize. We also show how the internal dynamics of networks influencespecies distribution in their environments. These discoveries offer crucial new understandings of theintricate dynamics of prey-predator interactions in ecological networks.
Dynamic and Scalable Flood Risk Assessment Using GIS, AHP, and Novel Fuzzy AHP: A Case Study of the Upper Tigris Basin
Authors: Kaya Berfin , Çelik Recep 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Floods are one of the most frequent and destructive natural disasters, requiring advanced methodologies for effective risk assessment and management. This study evaluates flood risk in the Upper Tigris Basin using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) integrated with the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Fuzzy AHP (FAHP). By analyzing eight critical parameters—precipitation, slope, elevation, lithology, land use, soil type, aspect, and proximity to rivers—risk maps were generated through Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) techniques. The AHP method identified precipitation as the most critical factor, contributing 32.5% to overall risk, while FAHP refined the results by addressing uncertainties, enhancing the weights of key parameters like precipitation (32.6%) and slope (15.4%). The FAHP map showed greater differentiation in medium- and low-risk areas, improving its suitability for localized interventions. High-risk zones in northeastern districts, including Lice, Hani, and Hazro, were influenced by high precipitation and steep slopes. Beyond the local context, this study demonstrates the global applicability of integrating GIS with fuzzy logic-based methods for disaster risk assessment. By effectively capturing uncertainties and enhancing precision, these methods provide a replicable framework for other regions facing similar challenges. This research contributes to the scientific understanding of flood dynamics and offers innovative tools for improving disaster preparedness and mitigation strategies worldwide.

Abstract

Land degradation is among the serious problems in Menz-Guassa community conservation area, in northern Shewa, Ethiopia. Therefore, we assessed the spatio-temporal changes in land-use/land-cover; and produced a vulnerability to degradation risk map of the major habitats. Landsat images of 1985, 1994, 2005, 2013, and 2024 were used for this study. A supervised classification method (Maximum Likelihood) produced a land use/land cover change map. Multi-criteria evaluation through the overlay weight analysis of ArcGIS 10.5 was used to evaluate habitat vulnerability to degradation risk. The study identified seven LULC categories: natural forest, plantation forest, bare land, cultivated land, built-up, Shrubland, and grassland. Cultivated land increased by 246% from 201.2 ha in 1984 to 696.6 ha in 2024 while grassland decreased alarmingly by 54.1% from 4898.6 ha in 1984 to 2247.8 ha in 2024; which could be due to agricultural expansion and area closure practices performed in the area. The dynamics of grassland showed a significant increase in the first (1985–1994) and second periods (1994–2005), but a decrease in the third (2005–2013) and fourth period (2013–2024) which was associated with free grazing in the first and second periods whereas free grazing practice in the third and fourth periods. Based on the weight overlay analysis result, about 3726.58 ha of the remaining different land uses fall under very high and high vulnerability to habitat degradation. The area demands control of agricultural expansion through smart agricultural practices and nature-based rehabilitation and conservation of the grassland.
Bose Statistics of Random Walks on Graphs
Authors: Harringer Manfred 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

We build probabilistic process models of motions on a finite graph. For particle statistics, at first we select a particle. Then we build a path of the particle along consecutive edges. Particles are distinguished. Single particles perform Markov chains. For Bose statistics, at first we select an edge as request for a path of a particle along the edge. Particles are not distinguished. The edges are randomly selected by probability weights, or they are triggered by circuits of courses in small steps on circles. We present examples for these process models. We obtain some results, which follow from the balance equation, a refinement of the corresponding balance equation for Markov chains. Quantum mechanics inhibits these process models, because there the annihilation of the zero state is zero.

Abstract

Background: The Family Engagement in Research (FER) Course launched in 2018 for researchers and family members to co-learn the principles and practice of engagement in neurodevelopmental disability and child health research. As part of the start-up period, six cohorts (163 participants) were enrolled. To ensure the FER Course was meeting its aims to increase knowledge, skills, and confidence in FER, a pre-post evaluation was conducted on the FER Course from 2018-2021.
Methods: Sixty-nine participants completed pre-and post-evaluations; satisfaction was evaluated after the course only (n=96). Data collection involved surveys with 10-point Likert Scale questions about participants’ experiences of the course, participants’ knowledge, abilities, attitudes towards, and self-confidence in family engagement in research, and overall satisfaction. Stata Statistical Software was used to conduct Wilcoxon rank sum to compare differences between researchers and family members’ responses and the Wilcoxon signed rank tests to evaluate change in outcomes from before to after the course. Open-ended survey responses were analyzed descriptively.
Results: There were statistically significant increases in participants’ knowledge, abilities, and self-confidence to engage in research. Positive attitudes towards FER were consistently rated highly pre- and post- evaluation with no significant change observed. Participants reported high levels of satisfaction with the FER Course, in particular with the group projects.
Conclusions: The FER Course meets the need for training both family members and researchers, so that they are equipped with the knowledge, abilities, and confidence to collaborate in neurodevelopmental disability and child health research.

Сурхандарьинский оазис на юге Узбекистана в древности был территорией Северной Бактрии. Один из крупнейших городов региона Термез. Городище Старый Термез включает две группы исторических памятников: Приамударьинскую и Присурханскую . В статье проанализированы основные этапы истории города с середины Iтыс. дон.э. до XVIIIв. Отмечено, что доIXXвв. раскопками установлено существование только Приамударьинской группы. Отдельно рассмотрен вопрос о водоснабжении города. Показаны географические особенности создания ирригации в нижнем течении Сурхандарьи, при ее впадении в Амударью. Сделан вывод о первостепенном значении географических, а именно особых ландшафтных и климатических условий для возникновения поселения в Присурханской группе и проведения отсюда каналов к городу в Приамударьинской группе, без чего был невозможен дальнейший рост и экономическое развитие Термеза.
In antiquity, the oasis of Surkhandarya in the south of Uzbekistan was part of the territory of Northern Bactria. One of Bactrias largest cities was Termez. The Old Termez site includes two groups of historical monuments, Amudarya and Surkhandarya. The article presents the stages of the citys history from the middle of the 1st millennium BC to the 18th century. Excavations have established that, to the 9th 10th centuries, only the Amudarya group had existed. The article examines the issue of water supply and considers the geographical features that facilitate irrigation in the lower reaches of the Surkhandarya River, where it flows into the Amudarya. The article concludes that geographical factors, namely the specific landscape and climatic conditions, had been of paramount importance for the emergence of settlements in the Surkhandarya group and for digging the main irrigation channels towards the city in the Amudarya part, without which the growth and development of Termez would have been impossible.

Authors: Martínez-Treviño Denisse Aideé , Cobos-Aguilar Héctor , Suárez-Gómez María 
Published: January 2025

Introducción: La aptitud clínica en el amamantamiento no se ha estudiado en pregrado. Actualmente no se cuenta con instrumentos para su medición.
Objetivo: Construir y validar un instrumento para medir la aptitud clínica sobre lactancia materna en estudiantes de medicina.
Método: Se construyó y validó un instrumento con cinco casos clínicos (CC): mastitis (MAST), grietas en pezón (GR), prácticas hospitalarias (PH), rechazo al seno (RS), pobre producción de leche (POB) y cinco indicadores: factores de riesgo (FR), diagnóstico clínico (DC), tratamiento (TR), contraindicaciones de lactancia (CL) y pronóstico (PR). Se usó la técnica Delphi con cinco expertos en dos rondas. Se equilibraron los reactivos, con 17 por CC e indicador y 85 en total. Se determinó la consistencia (Kuder-Richardson) con la aplicación a 30 estudiantes de octavo semestre (EM) y 30 médicos internos de pregrado (MIP). Se usó la U de Mann-Whitney para comparar los dos grupos. Se determinó también el azar en las respuestas.
Resultados: Se obtuvo una consistencia interna global de 0.90 y por indicador de 0.74 (FR), 0.58 (DC), 0.62 (TR), 0.72 (CI), 0.77 (PR). El 43% del grupo MIP se situó en rango bajo y 57% del grupo EM en respuestas al azar. La mediana global más alta se obtuvo en MIP comparados con EM (35 vs. 15, p < 0.01). Se obtuvieron medianas más altas en el grupo MIP para los indicadores FR (p = 0.02), TR (p < 0.01), CL (p = 0.03) y PR (p < 0.01) y cuatro CC: MAST (p < 0.01), PH (p < 0.01), RS (p = 0.03) y POB (p = 0.02).
Conclusiones: Un instrumento válido y consistente muestra una aptitud clínica muy baja en pregrado que parece más alto en MIP. Se ameritan mediciones e intervenciones para evaluar la validez extrínseca.

Implicaciones del modelo estructural en la validación de instrumentos clínicos: Modelo reflectivo vs Modelo formativo
Authors: Cruz-Peralta Agles , Peralta-Pedrero María Luisa , Morales Sánchez Martha Alejandra 
Published: January 2025

Antecedentes: Los cuestionarios, escalas, índices y criterios de clasificación se desarrollan y someten a validación, para medir de variables subjetivas de manera estandarizada.
Bases teóricas de los modelos estructurales: Cuando las preguntas de un cuestionario se originan a partir del atributo, corresponde al modelo reflectivo que ha sido ampliamente utilizado en psicometría debido a la naturaleza de las variables de interés. En Ciencias de la Salud las variables de interés son diferentes, cuando las preguntas de los cuestionarios nacen de elementos constitutivos y son independientes entre sí, pertenecen a un modelo formativo.
Implicaciones del modelo estructural en el diseño y validación de instrumentos de medición en salud: Cuando se usa el modelo reflectivo se crean un gran número de preguntas, y su reducción se realizará mediante análisis estadístico. Se debe determinar la fiabilidad de la prueba (consistencia interna) y la validez estructural.
Con el modelo formativo se elabora un número reducido de ítems asegurando la validez de contenido con evidencia científica o, en su defecto, por consenso formal de expertos. Para refinarlos, se utiliza el nivel y la calidad de la evidencia, las características de la población objetivo y el propósito del instrumento, los métodos estadísticos y el juicio del investigador y/o el consenso formal de los expertos. Si existe un estándar de oro se realiza un estudio de pruebas diagnósticas, en caso contrario la validez de constructo.
Diferencias del modelo reflectivo versus formativo en la fase de desarrollo del instrumento: Naturaleza del constructo, cronología del fenómeno, relación entre los indicadores o ítems y el constructo, direccionalidad del vínculo entre indicadores y constructo, número de indicadores identificados, ítems a elaborar y posible método de reducción, impacto teórico de la eliminación de ítems o indicadores sobre la idoneidad de la medición del constructo.
Fugir ao utilitarismo: experimentações com o queer e o ensino de geografia
Authors: Pereira Stribel Guilherme Pereira Stribel , Pereira de Sousa Victor 
Published: January 2025

Resumo
O modo como o campo de estudos em ensino de Geografia se constituiu no Brasil vem demonstrando que seguimos caminhando por uma lógica utilitarista sustentada pela racionalidade neoliberal que promete perversamente a ideia de um futuro melhor. Isso corrobora para a ideia de que o ensino de Geografia precise servir para alguma coisa, o que sustenta políticas como a Base Nacional Comum Curricular e o Novo Ensino Médio, prometendo aos estudantes a tomada de decisões para seus próprios destinos, formando os cidadãos que demanda o mundo contemporâneo, mas deixando para eles o fardo de um possível fracasso futuro. Desse modo, por meio de um exercício de especulação teórica, o presente artigo se constitui como uma proposta de fugir ao utilitarismo no ensino de Geografia por meio de experimentações com o queer. Entendido como uma dimensão experimental do mundo, o queer possibilita a imaginação de um mundo outro, tensionando as próprias noções de tempo e espaço, desvencilhando de promessas de futuro que não tem nenhuma garantia de serem cumpridas diante do cenário sociopolítico brasileiro. Assim, queerizar o ensino de Geografia não é uma resposta ou um projeto, mas um exercício experimental de pensar esse ensino como produtor de sentidos, tendo a experiência de viver juntos como um constante ato de criação.

Abstract
The way the field of Geography teaching has been established in Brazil demonstrates that we are still walking along a utilitarian logic sustained by neoliberal rationality, which deceitfully promises the idea of a better future. This corroborates the notion that Geography teaching needs to serve a purpose, which supports policies such as the Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) [National Common Core Curriculum] and the Novo Ensino Médio (NEM) [New High School], promising students the ability to make decisions about their own destinies, shaping the citizens demanded by the contemporary world, but burdening them with the possibility of future failure. Thus, through an exercise of theoretical speculation, this article proposes to escape utilitarianism in Geography teaching by engaging in queer experimentation. Understood as an experimental dimension of the world, queerness enables the imagination of another world, challenging notions of time and space, disentangling from promises of a future that have no guarantee of being fulfilled given the Brazilian sociopolitical scenario. Therefore, queering Geography teaching is not an answer or a project, but an experimental exercise in thinking of this education as a producer of meanings, with the experience of living together as a constant act of creation.
