Türklerin İslamiyete Geçiş Süreci ve Etkili Olan Faktörler
Authors: SARIOĞLU Atanur 
Published: December 2022

Türkler, yüzyıllar boyunca Orta Asya bozkırlarında kendilerine has bir medeniyet kurarak yaşamlarını idame etmiş bir topluluktur. Kurdukları medeniyet içerisinde kendi dini değerlerinin yanı sıra muhtelif gelenek ve görenekler ortaya koyarak, bunlara sıkı sıkıya bağlı olmuşlardır. Türk topluluklarının aynı dönemde birbirlerinden bağımsız olarak benimsedikleri dinler olduğu bilinmektedir. Genel olarak bilinen Gök-Tengri dininin yanı sıra bazı Türk boylarının Şamanizm, Totemizm, Budizm ve Maniheizm gibi geleneksel inanç sistemlerini de benimsedikleri görülmektedir. Daha sonraki dönemlerde ise Çin, Arap ve İbrani milletlerinden etkilenerek farklı dinleri de tanıma fırsatı bulmuşlardır. Tabii ki bunun genel nedeni, Orta Asya’da yaşayan göçebe Türk topluluklarının uzun yıllar bölgelerindeki diğer etnik unsurlar ile ilişki kurmaları, onların çeşitli dini inançları ve yaşam tarzlarından etkilenmeleri, yayıldıkları coğrafyanın etkisi olarak da görülmektedir. Ancak bu durum Türk topluluklarının sadece göçebe bir yaşam tarzına bağlı olmaları ile açıklanamaz. Din değiştirme gibi karmaşık bir olgunun tek bir nedene bağlı olarak incelenmesi birçok eksikliği beraberinde getirmektedir. Kendi gelenek ve göreneklerine bağlı bir toplum olan Türklerin din değiştirme süreçleri hem karmaşık hem de birçok faktörün etkisiyle olmuştur. Türk topluluklarının göçebe yaşam tarzını benimsemesi ve bu vasıtayla dünyadaki medeniyetlere bakış açılarının kapalı toplumlara oranla daha geniş olması farklı düşüncelerin medeniyetlerinde vücut bulmasını sağlamıştır. Aynı zamanda Türklerin yaşadıkları coğrafyanın stratejik öneminden kaynaklı olarak ilişki içerisinde oldukları toplumların etkisinde kalmaları ve farklı medeniyetler ile çeşitli vesileler (savaş, ticaret, akrabalık kurma, paralı askerlik…vs.) vasıtasıyla bağ kurmaları çok farklı dinleri tanıyıp benimsemelerine neden olmuştur.
Türklerin İslamiyet’i kabulü süreci, günümüzde farklı ideolojik yaklaşımlardan kaynaklı olarak açıklanmaya çalışılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada bahsi geçen konu dönemsel olarak ele alınmış, çeşitli kaynakların ışığında farklı etkenlerden yola çıkılarak değinilmeye çalışılmıştır.
Somatic Embryogenesis, Genetic Modification, and GMOs at the Department of Plant Biotechnology and Cytogenetics at the IHAR
Authors: Zimny Janusz , Sowa Sławomir 
Published: December 2022

AbstractAt the Plant Breeding and Acclimatization Institute, National Research Institute (IHAR), research on plant tissue cultures began in 1970s. Some in vitro methods, such as anther cultures or isolated microspore cultures, have been directly used to produce homozygous lines in plant breeding. These methods are also a prerequisite for genetic manipulation for both scientific and practical purposes. Here, we describe the achievements of the Department of Biotechnology and Cytogenetics over the last few decades in the area of somatic embryogenesis of cereals, genetic modifications, GMO detection and identification, and GMO legislation. This long-term research on plant regeneration systems has led to the development of the first transgenic triticale plants in the world and the first transgenic plants in Poland, which was followed by a multi-generation study of triticale transgene stability. The gene flow of transgenic triticale and transgenic maize investigated in field studies under Polish environmental conditions, as well as the evaluation of triticale pollen flow, provided scientific data for the development of coexistence measures and GMO risk assessment in case of plant authorization for cultivation. Based on the experience gained over the years, a GMO Controlling Laboratory was established to support the official control of GMOs in Poland and the EU. It was later nominated as one of the National Reference Laboratories collaborating with the Joint Research Center (JRC) of the European Commission, providing scientific and technical support in areas related to health and consumer protection. The GMO Controlling Laboratory is accredited by the Polish Center for Accreditation according to the ISO 17025 standard, ensuring high-quality analyses and flexible accreditation scope. It participates in the ongoing debate in Poland and the EU on the legal aspects of new genomic techniques in plant breeding through publications, lectures at scientific conferences, and by providing expertise to relevant bodies.
The Spell of Place in Carpentaria
Authors: Vandamme Christine 
Published: December 2022

The following paper allows us to study the links between place and Australian Aboriginal Dreamtime or Dreaming. Such an approach foregrounds the need to re-envision our world as in permanent co-presence of human and other-than-human, and thus the necessity to reassess and ultimately refuse monological nationalist foundation narratives and replace them with more inclusive ones to reflect more fully what sustainable relationships in nature and society at large really consist in.Carpentaria offers a very original revisiting of the Gothic spectral motifs of disappearance and disorientation so prevalent in non-Indigenous Australian literature – replacing them instead with an acceptance of being haunted and “possessed”. Possession in Carpentaria is about being revitalised by place, as the work of anthropologists, poets and thinkers like Glowcewski, Glissant or Abram (The Spell of The Sensuous), have amply demonstrated. In Wright’s novel, the notion of possession and being possessed by the river country takes on a unique urgency, thus foregrounding the importance of stories, “stories of deep knowledge”, not only for themselves, but precisely because such law stories can have a major and lasting impact on ideological, economic and social choices but also point to new or, to be more accurate, rediscovered epistemologies.

It is concluded that the INM practice and rice variety Shahsarang 1 showed their superiority over their respective counterparts, i.e. other nutrient management practices and rice varieties w.r.t. crop productivity, NPK acquisition behavior in rice grains and straw visâ€“Ã â€“vis NPK uptake, and resourceâ€“use efficiency in current study. Thus, INM practice and rice variety Shahsarang 1 can be recommended to the resource-poor hill farmers for enhancing rice productivity, plant nutrient acquisition and resourceâ€“use efficiency in north-eastern hill region of eastern Himalayas.
Carbon Emission Dynamics in India Due to Financial Development, Renewable Energy Utilization, Technological Innovation, Economic Growth, and Urbanization
Authors: Raihan Asif , Chandra Voumik Liton 
Published: December 2022

Concerns about climate change, emission reduction, and environmental sustainability have become crucial in accomplishing long-term development goals. The present study explored the dynamic effects of financial development, renewable energy utilization, technological innovation, economic growth, and urbanization on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in India. This investigation quantifies short- and long-run dynamics using time series data from 1990 to 2020 and an Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model. The outcomes from ARDL short- and long-run analysis revealed a positive and significant effect of financial development, economic growth, and urbanization on CO2 emissions in India. In contrast, both the short- and long-term coefficients for renewable energy utilization and technological innovation are negative and statistically significant, suggesting that expanding these variables will lead to lower CO2 emissions. The findings were validated by employing the Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares (FMOLS), Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS), and Canonical Cointegration Regression (CCR) methods. This research provides novel findings that add to the current literature and may be of special relevance to policymakers in the country because of the role that the financial system plays in environmental concerns.
Wyzwania dla statystyki regionalnej na tle debaty o polityce spójności
Authors: Rogalińska Dominika 
Published: December 2022

Wraz z przyjęciem Traktatu Lizbońskiego zmienił się zakres polityki spójności — obok kwestii społecznych i gospodarczych pojawił się wymiar przestrzenny. W ramach toczącej się na ten temat dyskusji konieczne jest silniejsze akcentowanie roli statystyki publicznej jako źródła danych niezbędnych do formułowania celów, monitoringu i ewaluacji polityki. W pracy przedstawiono kluczowe kierunki rozwoju polskiej statystyki regionalnej — od przemian struktury organizacyjnej po podejmowane działania. Organizacja statystyki w Polsce stale dopasowuje się do zmieniającego się zapotrzebowania odbiorców danych. Podstawą efektywnej obsługi informacyjnej użytkowników są zintegrowane działania wielu jednostek służb statystyki publicznej. Efektem zmian jest utworzenie Wojewódzkich Ośrodków Badań Regionalnych. Należy również wspomnieć o podejmowanych pracach metodologicznych z zakresu statystyki regionalnej. W kontekście monitorowania realizacji założeń strategicznych w ramach prowadzonej polityki rozwoju istotną inicjatywą jest opracowanie nowej typologii gmin wiejskich, która znajduje się już w końcowej fazie. Inne prace dotyczą kwestii opracowywania wskaźników. Nie można także zapominać o stałym doskonaleniu publicznie dostępnych baz danych, takich jak Bank Danych Lokalnych (BDL). Podsumowaniem artykułu jest refleksja nad wyzwaniami determinowanymi nie tylko przemianami natury społeczno-gospodarczej czy politycznej, ale również wynikającymi z nowych możliwości technicznych.
Zmiany struktury zatrudnienia i produktywności a wynagrodzenia w przekroju regionalnym w latach 2005–2010
Authors: Zieliński Mariusz , Jonek-Kowalska Izabela 
Published: December 2022

Artykuł dotyczy zmian zachodzących na regionalnych rynkach pracy w Polsce w latach 2005–2010. Najistotniejszym czynnikiem oddziałującym na rynek pracy było w tym okresie przystąpienie Polski do Unii Europejskiej, wywołujące potrzebę dostosowań o charakterze strukturalnym. Przedstawiona w artykule analiza statystyczna bazuje na danych publikowanych przez GUS w Rocznikach Statystycznych Województw i obejmuje: zmiany poziomu i struktury sektorowej zatrudnienia oraz zmiany poziomu produktywności pracy i wynagrodzeń. Wyjściowymi hipotezami badawczymi były stwierdzenia, że w analizowanym okresie poprawiła się struktura zatrudnienia według sektorów, zmniejszyły się rozpiętości wynagrodzeń między regionami i występował związek między produktywnością pracy a wynagrodzeniami. Na podstawie danych statystycznych dotyczących okresu 2005–2010 stwierdzono, że spośród postawionych hipotez badawczych, jedynie trzecią można uznać za w pełni potwierdzoną. Większość danych podważa hipotezę o zmniejszeniu rozpiętości regionalnych na rynku pracy. Zmiany struktury zatrudnienia były o tyle korzystne, że nastąpił spadek udziału w zatrudnieniu sektora drugiego (przemysłu i budownictwa) oraz wzrost udziału w zatrudnieniu sektora trzeciego (usług?). Pięciolecie 2005–2010 przyniosło jednak także niezgodny z oczekiwanymi tendencjami długookresowymi, wzrost udziału w zatrudnieniu sektora pierwszego.
Prognozy wpływu polityki spójności UE na gospodarki regionalne województw lubelskiego i podkarpackiego do roku 2015
Authors: Zaleski Janusz , Tomaszewski Paweł , Zembaty Marek 
Published: December 2022

Celem referatu jest przedstawienie wpływu instrumentów polityki spójności Unii Europejskiej na gospodarki dwóch wybranych województw Polski Wschodniej: lubelskiego i podkarpackiego. Analiza zostanie skoncentrowana na ewaluacji efektów implementacji w tych regionach zarówno Narodowego Planu Rozwoju na lata 2004–2006, jak i Narodowych Strategicznych Ram Odniesienia (Narodowej Strategii Spójności) na lata 2007–2013. Prognozy wpływu NPR i NSRO zostaną przedstawione do roku 2015, tj. do ostatniego roku implementacji NSRO i będą dotyczyć podstawowych wskaźników makroekonomicznych gospodarek wojewódzkich, takich, jak: regionalny PKB, liczba pracujących, stopa bezrobocia, wydajność i in. Niektóre ze wskaźników zostaną przedstawione również w układzie sektorowym. W celach porównawczych wyniki dla obu województw zostaną zestawione oraz zostanie dokonana analiza uzyskanych wartości wpływu. Do przeprowadzenia analiz zostaną wykorzystane dane o rzeczywistej implementacji w tych województwach funduszy strukturalnych i Funduszu Spójności w latach 2004–2007, które są monitorowane przez Ministerstwo Rozwoju Regionalnego. Do prognozowania płatności w latach 2008–2015 zostaną również wykorzystane oszacowania MRR. Instrumentami do przeprowadzenia tych analiz będą modele regionalne HERMIN gospodarek obu województw oraz inne metody uzupełniające. Opracowane przez zespół Wrocławskiej Agencji Rozwoju Regionalnego pod kierownictwem prof. J. Zaleskiego i we współpracy z dr J. Bradley’em modele regionalne HERMIN są pierwszymi makromodelami gospodarek polskich województw i są oparte o metodologię i konstrukcję dokonanej w 2002 r. adaptacji modelu HERMIN całej polskiej gospodarki. Od tego czasu metodologia HERMIN była wykorzystywana wielokrotnie do przeprowadzania ocen makroekonomicznego wpływu funduszy UE zarówno na gospodarkę kraju, jak i gospodarki regionalne. Modele z rodziny HERMIN spełniają wytyczne Komisji Europejskiej w zakresie instrumentu do dokonywania ocen makroekonomicznego wpływu interwencji strukturalnych i są wykorzystywane przez Dyrekcję Regionalną ds. Polityki Regionalnej (DGREGIO) dla szeregu krajów kohezyjnych.

Published: December 2022

The study presents the factorial validity of the version of the questionnaire on reading strategies, «Tell me how to read», aimed at the students of upper-secondary schools. The dimensions investigated correspond to the 7 strategies already validated in the previous versions (lower secondary and primary school, pilot study; Castellana, 2018, 2020a; Castellana & Lucisano, 2021): Identifying reading purposes; Activating previous knowledge; Making predictions; Identifying the most important information; Using graphic organizers; Controlling, Monitoring and a scale on the perception of difficulty. The questionnaire consisting of 57 items, was administered to a convenience sample of 1527 students, attending upper-secondary school. Results of the factor analysis confirm the seven-dimensional structure while Cronbach’s alpha ranges from .836 to .925, with the total reliability coefficient of .933. Furthermore, data analyses reveal strengths and weaknesses of the readers in terms of the strategies they employ and suggest areas and paths for improvement of their reading skills, stressing once again the importance of tools aimed at measuring the use of metacognitive strategies.
Explicit and Implicit Biases in Students’ Skin Colours Aesthetic Preferences
Authors: Perillo Giovanni , Mastandrea Stefano 
Published: December 2022

Several tools have been employed to detect the emergence and development of racial stereotypes and prejudices among little children and adolescents. In our study, we confront some of these tools, and present the results of the Skin Colours Test. In its specificity, the Skin Colours Test proposes a change in the object of investigation (appreciation of the homogeneity or heterogeneity of colours) and aims to detect explicit and implicit stereotypes and prejudices of boys and girls regarding aesthetic choices (even neutral choices) concerning skin colours. Sample: one group of 129 (64 F) students (M = 12.31), almost all of Italian descent, and another group of 129 (62 F) students (M = 12.36), less than 30% of different descents. Method: three pictures, each made up of 16 skin colours, were shown and students were asked to vote on their aesthetic preference between homogeneity or heterogeneity of skin colours and to give reasons for these choices. Main results: the motivations for some choices that preferred skin colour heterogeneity (neutral choice) over homogeneity, brought out stereotypes and biases. In addition, we consider the contextual specificities that the Skin Colours Test detects as crucial in order to detect specific educational needs and structure targeted educational interventions.

Published: December 2022

Assessing the habits of mind among prospective teachers is an essential part of learning. Therefore, this research aims to develop the habits of mind instrument in the context of basic physics practicum. It was conducted using the research and development method which has three stages namely (1) planning the test, (2) implementing the test, and (3) determining the validity and reliability. The sample consisted of 105 biology teacher candidates taking basic physics courses. The habits of mind instrument developed was in the form of a questionnaire consisting of 52 items and is related to basic physics practicum. Furthermore, exploratory factor analysis and the Rasch model approach were used in developing the instrument. Based on expert judgment using Fleiss Kappa, the content validity was 0.700 and was classified in the good category. The developed instrument was considered reliable based on Cronbach’s alpha value of 0.970. The exploratory factor analysis reduced the dimensions of the instrument to 11 factors. The analysis of the Rasch model met the element of unidimensionality. There is no bias on the instrument based on gender and place of residence. However, efforts are needed to overcome the lack of creative thinking habits among prospective biology teachers.
How to tune the absorption spectrum of chlorophylls to enable better use of the available solar spectrum
Authors: Silva Pedro J. , Osswald-Claro Maria , Castro Mendonça Rosário 
Published: December 2022

Photon capture by chlorophylls and other chromophores in light-harvesting complexes and photosystems is the driving force behind the light reactions of photosynthesis. Excitation of photosystem II allows it to receive electrons from the water-oxidizing oxygen-evolution complex and to transfer them to an electron-transport chain that generates a transmembrane electrochemical gradient and ultimately reduces plastocyanin, which donates its electron to photosystem I. Subsequently, excitation of photosystem I leads to electron transfer to a ferredoxin which can either reduce plastocyanin again (in so-called “cyclical electron-flow”) and release energy for the maintenance of the electrochemical gradient, or reduce NADP+ to NADPH. Although photons in the far-red (700–750 nm) portion of the solar spectrum carry enough energy to enable the functioning of the photosynthetic electron-transfer chain, most extant photosystems cannot usually take advantage of them due to only absorbing light with shorter wavelengths. In this work, we used computational methods to characterize the spectral and redox properties of 49 chlorophyll derivatives, with the aim of finding suitable candidates for incorporation into synthetic organisms with increased ability to use far-red photons. The data offer a simple and elegant explanation for the evolutionary selection of chlorophylls a, b, c, and d among all easily-synthesized singly-substituted chlorophylls, and identified one novel candidate (2,12-diformyl chlorophyll a) with an absorption peak shifted 79 nm into the far-red (relative to chlorophyll a) with redox characteristics fully suitable to its possible incorporation into photosystem I (though not photosystem II). chlorophyll d is shown by our data to be the most suitable candidate for incorporation into far-red utilizing photosystem II, and several candidates were found with red-shifted Soret bands that allow the capture of larger amounts of blue and green light by light harvesting complexes.

Authors: Nitima . , Gandhi Shabana , Katoch Madhur , Pathania Raj 
Published: December 2022

Aim: To assess student’s locus of control and to identify the impact of locus of control on emotional intelligence among college students. Gender differences were also assessed in the study regarding student’s locus of control.
Study Design: An exploratory research design was used for the study where data were taken from primary sources.
Place of Study: The study was conducted in two coeducational and two girl’s colleges of Chandigarh in the year 2018-19.
Methodology: A sample size of 100 boys and 100 girls (50 students in the age group of 18-24 years from each college) was selected randomly for the study. Data were collected from respondents by using standardized scales viz. Rotter’s Internal-External Locus of Control (Indian Adaptation) and Emotional Intelligence Test. Tabulation of data was done and frequencies were calculated and data was further subjected to statistical analysis through SPSS software.
Results: Based on study findings, out of 200 students, 116 students including both boys and girls have showed external locus of control. From linear regression results, it revealed that managing emotions was positively significant at confidence level 0.1 with external and internal locus of control while empathy was significantly but negatively associated with internal locus of control at 0.1 level of confidence.
Conclusion: It was concluded from results that, most of the sample have more external locus of control followed by internal locus of control. As both the dimensions of locus are significant with managing emotions at 90% intervals. Furthermore, the results for empathy are negative but significant which means that internal locus of control has significant impact on empathy. No significant gender differences were found for locus of control.
