Optimizing Multi-Channel Green Supply Chain Dynamics with Renewable Energy Integration and Emissions Reduction
(MDPI, ST ALBAN-ANLAGE 66, CH-4052 BASEL, SWITZERLAND, 2024) Safaei, Mehdi; Al Dawsari, Saleh; Yahya, Khalid
In response to the global imperative of mitigating greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) and the shifting landscape of business models toward multi-channel structures, this study delves into the intricacies of a green supply chain. Operating through both online and traditional channels with uncertain demands, the producer’s distribution strategy prompts an exploration of supply chain dynamics. Utilizing an integer programming model, this study calculates optimal prices, optimizes total profit, and minimizes transportation costs to curtail carbon dioxide emissions, depending on the transportation mode. Additionally, this study incorporates renewable energy sources into the production and transportation processes to further minimize carbon dioxide emissions. The integration of renewable energy not only supports environmental goals, but also contributes to the overall profitability of the supply chain by reducing energy costs. Employing a theoretical technique for linearization, the model, resolved through the Jimenez and TH methods, demonstrates efficacy in reconciling economic and environmental goals. The Jimenez method enables the transformation of fuzzy parameters into deterministic equivalents, allowing for a more reliable optimization during uncertainty, while the TH method provides an interactive fuzzy multi-objective approach, aligning the model’s dual objectives for both economic and environmental goals. Notably, when transportation costs to both markets are equal, the model prioritizes devices with a lower environmental impact, showcasing adaptability. Furthermore, the proposed solution empowers decision makers to influence pricing and enhance the entire supply chain’s profitability. In conclusion, this research offers nuanced insights, strategically aligning economic viability with environmental sustainability in the discourse on green supply chains.
Revisiting the Foreign Direct Investment-CO2 Emissions Nexus within the N-EKC Framework: Evidence from South Asian Countries
(ELSEVIER, RADARWEG 29, 1043 NX AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS, 2024) Bekun, Festus Victor; Gyamfi, Bright Akwasi; Olasehinde-Williams, Godwin; Yadav, Ashutosh
This study explores the dynamic connection between foreign direct investment (FDI), economic growth and CO2 emissions, a topic that has sparked considerable debate in extant literature. The study aims to shed light on these interactions within the context of South Asian countries. Uniquely, it expands the traditional Environmental Kuznet Curve (EKC) model to a cubic specification, enabling an examination of the N-shaped relationships between pollution and GDP, as well as pollution and FDI. To this end, annual frequency data were employed while leveraging on the augmented mean group (AMG) panel estimation method.Empirical findings reveal both inverted U-shaped and N-shaped relationships, with the latter prevailing over the former in the long run. This confirms the pollution haven hypothesis, indicating that the environmental cost of FDI decreases as GDP increases. The study also discovers a substitutive relationship between FDI and GDP in terms of environmental impact, alongside a similar substitutive link between GDP and energy consumption. This indicates that the adoption of renewable energy, coupled with economic growth, leads to a reduction in carbon emissions. These insights offer crucial implications for enhancing environmental sustainability in South Asia. The outcomes of the pollution haven hypothesis calls for caution on foreign direct inflow especially on dirty growth which comes with trade-off with environmental quality.Thus, South Asian governments official should proactively direct foreign direct investment into green initiatives. These initiatives including renewable energy infrastructure that will foster clean growth and environmental quality by extension.
Does Alexithymia Predict the Psychiatric Comorbidity Among Healthy Carriers of Hepatitis B?
(AVES, BUYUKDERE CAD 105-9, MECIDIYEKOY, SISLI, ISTANBUL 34394, Turkiye, 2024) Gündüz, Nermin; Timur, Özge; Binici, Doğan Nasır; Erzincan, Erkal; Yosmaoğlu, Ahmet
Objective: The psychiatric disorders among healthy carriers of hepatitis B (HBsAg), who have no severe physical disability or any medical treatment, have clinical importance. We aimed to research the comorbid psychiatric disorders and alexithymia and to identify whether alexithymia and accompanying somatic symptoms predict the presence of psychiatric diagnoses or not among HBsAg carriers. Methods: Eighty-nine healthy carriers of Hepatitis B patients and nınety-three healthy individuals were included to study. Structured Clinical Interview for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (Fourth Edition) (DSM-IV) (SCID-I), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D), Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A), and Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS) were applied. Results: When the distribution of SCID I psychiatric diagnoses among healthy HBsAg carriers examined, majority of the patients (n=53, 59.6%) had any psychiatric diagnosis. The logistic regression model evaluating whether number of somatic symptoms and alexithymia predict the psychiatric diagnosis, we observed that number of somatic symptoms predicted the presence of psychiatric diagnosis (odds ratio=2.762, P < .001). Conclusion: Our findings revealed that alexithymia may potentiate the occurrence of psychiatric disorders in such patients and that it requires more consideration. So, our results suggest that HBsAg carriers need multidisciplinary evaluation including hepatology, infection clinics and psychiatric liaison.
Uygur Sivil Belgelerinde Geçen Ançaşi Ünvanı Üzerine
(ISTANBUL UNIV, Rektorlugu, Beyazit, Fatih, ISTANBUL 34452, Turkiye, 2024) Veli, Hatice
Ünvanlar toplumda hiyerarşik düzeni belirleyen ve belli bir hukuk sisteminin bulunduğuna işaret eden önemli unsurlardan biridir. Bilindiği üzere Türk devletleri ilk kuruldukları dönemlerden itibaren belli bir siyasi yapılanma ve düzen içerisinde idare edilmiştir. Türk devletlerinde belli görevi ifa etmek amacıyla tesis edilmiş birtakım kurumlar ve bu kurumları temsil eden kişilerin kullandığı ünvanlar bulunmaktadır. Bu ünvanlar Türklerin idari düzenini yansıtması bakımından önem arz etmektedir. Hunlar zamanından beri Orhun ve Selenge nehri kıyılarında yaşamış olan Uygurlar, Ötüken Uygur Devleti (744-840) yıkıldıktan sonra eskiden de farklı Türk boylarına ev sahipliği yapan Hexi (Heşi) Koridorundaki ve Tarım Havzası’ndaki şehirlere yerleşerek bu bölgedeki Türk boylarıyla birlikte iki farklı Türk devleti kurmuşlardır. Moğolların Batıya doğru genişlemesiyle Uygur devletleri ardı ardına Moğolların egemenliği altına girmiştir. Nitekim Kubilay Han döneminden sonra (1271-1294) Uygur devletinin idari yapısı içerisinde Türkçe ünvanların yanı sıra Moğolca ve Çince ünvanların da kullanıldığı görülmüştür. Çalışmamızda Uygur sivil belgelerinde sadece bir kere tespit edilen ve Moğol-Yuan sülalesi döneminde Uygurcaya geçen ançaşi “denetçi, teftiş eden, müfettiş” ünvanından hareketle bu ünvanın kökeni, Çin’de kurulan hanedanlıklardaki durumu, Moğol-Yuan sülalesi dönemindeki hiyerarşik sıralanması ve yetki alanları hakkında Çince kaynaklara dayanarak bilgi verilecektir. Ayrıca ançaşi ünvanının Uygur sahasına girişi, Uygur sahasındaki kullanımı ve yetki alanları da ortaya konulacaktır.
The dynamic connectedness between oil price shocks and emerging market economies stock markets: Evidence from new approaches
(ELSEVIER, RADARWEG 29, 1043 NX AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS, 2025) Tiwari, Aviral Kumar; Dam, Mehmet Metin; Altıntaş, Halil; Bekun, Festus Victor
This paper uses the dynamic connectedness framework to investigate the interrelationship between the decomposed oil supply, demand and risk shocks that Ready (2018) developed and the stock market returns of emerging market economies. For this purpose, we use daily data from 11 October 2001 to 5 April 2021. Novel empirical methodologies, including wavelet quantile correlation (WQC), cross-quantilogram analysis, nonparametric causality-in-quantile approaches, contemporaneous R2 connectedness approach and generalized R2 connectedness approaches, are employed. The results show that oil price fluctuations significantly impact the economic performance of emerging market economies, reflecting historical events. Demand price shocks are regarded as net transmitters within the system, whereas supply and risk price shocks are net receivers of spillovers. Concurrently, our findings indicate a considerable degree of dynamic connectedness among the stock markets of emerging market economies. In particular, the stock markets of Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina have been identified as net transmitters of spillovers. In contrast, the stock markets of Turkey, South Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia and India are classified as net receivers of spillovers. Furthermore, we examine and document the advantages of diversified portfolios that include all sector indices, including oil price shocks and emerging market economy stock markets, in terms of portfolio performance. The insights offered here are valuable for investors and policymakers striving to enhance their strategic approaches in today’s interconnected global financial context. The results show that oil price fluctuations significantly impact the economic performance of emerging market economies and reflect historical events. Demand shocks affecting the stock market indices of Brazil, Argentina and Mexico tend to act as net spillover transmitters. In contrast, supply shocks affecting the stock market indices of Indonesia, South Korea, India, Turkey and Malaysia mainly act as net spillover receivers. Net pairwise interconnectedness analysis reveals that, except for crisis periods, interactions between financial markets or macroeconomic indicators are evenly distributed. Thus, systemic risk is lower, and markets act independently. Empirical findings obtained using WQC generally show the presence of negative correlations at long-time scales and low quantiles, which is considered an indicator of the safe-haven feature associated with the asset in question. The hedge feature is observed to be evident only at long time scales. The results of the crossquantilogram analysis show mixed evidence of correlation in all stock indices, especially in the weekly lag structure, compared to daily and monthly lags. Finally, non-parametric Granger causality test results show that stock returns are insensitive to oil price fluctuations, making these markets attractive for investors seeking diversification strategies. These findings provide valuable recommendations for investors seeking sustainable equities in a volatile oil market.
Assessment into the nexus between load capacity factor, population, government policy in form of environmental tax: accessing evidence from Turkey
(EMERALD GROUP PUBLISHING LTD, Floor 5, Northspring 21-23 Wellington Street, Leeds, W YORKSHIRE LS1 4DL, ENGLAND, 2024) Bekun, Festus Victor; Yadav, Ashutosh; Onwe, Joshua Chukwuma; Fumey, Michael Provide; Ökmen, Mahsum
Purpose Over the last decades, the need for sustainable energy production and consumption has been heavily discussed. However, there has been no consensus in the extant literature. Thus, to this end, this study aims to explore the long-run and causality connection among disaggregated energy consumption, environmental tax and economic growth in a carbon-function framework for Turkey. Design/methodology/approach This study uses annual frequency data for econometrics analysis. To this end, our analysis utilizes the autoregressive distributive lag (ARDL) technique for cointegration and long-run analysis, while the Granger causality was used for causality direction. Findings Economic growth drives Turkey’s Load Capacity Factor (LCF), indicating energy efficiency is linked to economic performance. Renewable energy boosts LCF, while nonrenewable energy hinders it. Population growth positively affects energy efficiency, but environmental taxes have minimal impact, suggesting policy reform is needed. These outcomes have far-reaching implications for macroeconomic policies and environmental sustainability in Turkish economy energy mix amidst its growth path. Research limitations/implications The findings suggest the need for policy reforms prioritizing renewable energy investments to enhance Turkey’s energy efficiency and sustainability. Additionally, the current environmental tax structure requires reevaluation to support sustainable energy practices better. These policy changes are crucial for balancing Turkey’s economic growth with environmental goals, ensuring a more sustainable energy future.
Financing tech-driven industrialization in Africa: Resource wealth, financial structure and the rise of medium- and high-tech manufacturing
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 1 OLIVERS YARD, 55 CITY ROAD, LONDON EC1Y 1SP, ENGLAND, 2024) Ajmi, Ahdi Noomen; Bekun, Festus Victor; Nwani, Chinazaekpere; Ashraf, Nadia
This study examines the roles of natural resource wealth and financial structure in driving industrial diversification into medium- and high-tech manufacturing (TM) via a panel dataset consisting of 24 African countries from 1991 to 2021. By utilizing the method of moments approach to quantile regression and the HPJ Wald-type Granger non-causality test, this study provides insights pertinent to achieving sustainable development goal 9.B. The results reveal a U-shaped relationship between per capita GDP and TM, where early stages of economic growth hinder industrial diversification, but higher growth levels stimulate tech-driven industrialization. The study confirms that combined income from energy, minerals, and forest wealth negatively affects TM, particularly in less industrially diversified economies, thus supporting the resource curse hypothesis. Financial structure plays a crucial role; market-based systems foster TM, whereas institution-led financial development tends to impede it. The Granger non-causality tests reveal unidirectional causality from natural resource wealth, institution-led financial development, and market-based financial development to TM, with bidirectional causality between per capita GDP and TM. To fully leverage these findings, African economies should prioritize the development of robust financial markets, implement comprehensive banking reforms, and strategically invest resource revenues in technology-driven sectors.
To Stay or Leave? Consequences of Ethical Dilemma Experienced by Nurses in the Intensive Care Units
(SPRINGER, VAN GODEWIJCKSTRAAT 30, 3311 GZ DORDRECHT, NETHERLANDS, 2024) Kalaycıoğlu, Ozan; Sert Özen, Arzu; Yeşildağ, Ahmet
Global shortages of healthcare workers, particularly nurses, have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, putting signifcant pressure on healthcare systems worldwide. According to the International Council of Nurses (ICN), 13 million additional nurses are urgently needed to meet global demand. Nurses, who are the backbone of patient care, have faced unprecedented ethical dilemmas, particularly in intensive care units (ICUs), where resource allocation, such as ventilator management and triage decisions, often confict with basic ethical principles. This study seeks to contribute to the literature by examining the efect of the ethical dilemmas experienced by ICU nurses during COVID-19 pandemic on emotional exhaustion and turnover intention and testing whether emotional exhaustion has a mediating role on the relationship between ethical dilemma and turnover intention. The research model was tested with partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS– SEM) in the package program SmartPLS. The bias-corrected bootstrapping (resampling) method was applied to the sample of 189 nurses who work in the intensive care units in the hospitals in the East Black Sea Region of Türkiye. The research results indicated that ethical dilemma is positively associated with emotional exhaustion (β=0.305, 95% CI [0.167–0.407]), and turnover intention (β=0.156, 95% CI [0.146—0.423]). In addition, emotional exhaustion has a complementary partial mediation efect (B=0.149, 95% CI [0.083–0.215]) between ethical dilemma and turnover intention among ICU nurses.
How does technological innovation affect the ecological footprint? Evidence from E-7 countries in the background of the SDGs
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 125 London Wall, London EC2Y 5AS, ENGLAND, 2024) Dam, Mehmet Metin; Kaya, Funda; Bekun, Festus Victor
Although technological innovation plays a critical role in promoting sustainable development and environmental sustainability, there are few studies in the existing literature that address this relationship. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between technological innovation (TI), renewable energy consumption (REC), natural resource rent (NRR) and ecological footprint (EF) of E-7 countries (i.e. Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Russia and Turkiye) from 1992 to 2018 in order to ensure environmental sustainability in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Analysis was performed using the ARDL estimator, robustness test and Dumitrescu-Hurlin panel causality (DHC) test. Long-term empirical estimates from the PMG-ARDL technique have shown that a 1 % increase in TI and REC reduces EF by 0.064 % and 0.234 %, respectively, i.e. increases environmental sustainability. At this point, it is possible to say that TI and REC contribute to the achievement of SDG-7 and 13 in E-7 countries while NRR and real income (GDP) were found to impede the achievement of SDG7 and 13 in E-7 countries through an increase in EF. The results were confirmed using robustness techniques. In the DHC test results, while there is a unidirectional causality from TI to EF, from EF to NRR and trade openness, a bidirectional causality was found between GDP and EF. This study suggests that policymakers should focus on introducing environmentally friendly equipment to reduce environmental degradation, increase the share of RECs and focus on sustainable development within the framework of the SDGs.
Exploration on terrorism, ecological footprint and environmental sustainability in countries with the most terrorism antecedent: Accessing evidence from panel fourier analysis
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND, 2024) Kılıç, Cüneyt; Soyyiğit, Semanur; Bayar, Yılmaz; Bekun, Festus Victor
Amidst increased concerns for global security and ecological balance, the intricate interconnectedness between terrorism and environmental sustainability has attracted significant attention in the existing literature. To this end, the present study explores the interaction among environmental degradation, terrorism, and foreign direct investments in 17 countries with the most terrorism antecedents over the 2002–2018 period through the Panel Fourier cointegration test and the Panel Fourier Toda-Yamamoto causality test. The present study also leverages recent and robust panel analysis for evidence-based results and inferences for policy formulation. The panel Fourier cointegration test presents the cointegration relationship between the outline variables under review. Empirical findings highlight that terrorism does not have a significant influence on the ecological footprint. However, foreign direct investment has a positive influence on the ecological footprint. These findings have implications for environmental sustainability and foreign direct investment inflows in the bloc investigated. More insights are discussed in the concluding section with policy caveats.
Investigating the environmental and economic dimensions of household, commercial, and industrial energy intensities in the USA
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD2-4 PARK SQUARE, MILTON PARK, ABINGDON OR14 4RN, OXON, ENGLAND, 2024) Alola, Andrew Adewale; Adedoyin, Festus Fatai; Alola, Uju Violet
As the global ambition is directed at net-zero 2050 amidst energy intensity-efficiency targets, the advanced economies, such as the United States of America (USA) has been consistently charged with more target-driven commitments. Considering this, the current study finds the influence of commercial, industrial, and household energy intensities on both the economic and environmental indicators. A set of cointegration approaches was employed to evaluate the long-run and short-run relationship between covariates and carbon emission over the period 1974–2019. Empirical findings reveal that all the covariates are positive and significantly related to carbon emissions. For instance, the emission of carbon dioxide is worsened by economic growth in both the short- and long-run. Additionally, intense use of energy across the commercial, household, and industrial sectors is responsible for an increase in environmental degradation arising from the emission of carbon emission. Importantly, environmental degradation that is attributed to energy intensity is far more (twice) in the commercial sector and household sector, than in the industrial sector. Regarding the economic aspects, there is statistical evidence that research and development expenditure in energy efficiency improves economic growth while higher energy intensities in the commercial and industrial sectors are detrimental to economic expansion. As a policy, the study suggests that the share of renewable or clean energy technology in the country’s energy mix should be significantly increased to over-turn the undesirable economic, environmental, and global warming-related issues in the United States. Other few directions for policy implication were addressed.
Convergence of clubs between per capita carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels and cement production
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, THE BOULEVARD, LANGFORD LANE, KIDLINGTON, OXFORD OX5 1GB, OXON, ENGLAND, 2024) Rodriguez-Benavides, Domingo; Andres-Rosales, Roldan; Alvarez-Garcia, Jose; Bekun, Festus Victor
Various studies have addressed the issue of convergence in carbon dioxide emissions at an aggregate level, ignoring the analysis of such emissions at a higher level of disaggregation. In order to cover this gap, the present study offers a new perspective to the hypothesis of relative convergence in carbon dioxide emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels and the manufacture of cement for a sample of 139 countries in the period 1960 to 2017 through the methodology of Phillips and Sul (2007, 2009). This methodology enables the flexibility to explore whether the units under study converge to a common equilibrium state in per capita carbon dioxide emissions or whether they converge into different groups. The results show that per capita carbon dioxide emissions converge into different groups and not into a single one as is the case of countries considered lowermiddle income and upper-middle income countries. In contrast, countries classified as low-income and highincome do converge in their respective groups. These results show that countries currently contribute unequally to climate change policies, a differential that could be determined by their level of development and economic growth. The above highlights the need to take into account differences in economic development and growth prospects when examining emissions convergence between countries.
Uygur Geleneksel Erkek Giyim Kuşamında Kuşak
(GELENEKSEL YAYINCILIK LTD STL, GAZI MAH CAKIR SOK, 21-5 YENIMAHALLE, ANKARA 00000, TURKEY, 2024) Veli, Hatice
Giyim kuşam, eski toplumlarda bireylerin toplumsal kimliğini ve statüsünü belirleyen ayırt edici unsurlardan birini oluşturmuştur. Giyim kuşam aynı zamanda toplumlar ve kavimlerin sanatsal ve maddi zenginliklerini ortaya koymaktadır. Türklerin kültür tarihi incelendiğinde, Orta Asya’dan Anadolu’ya kadar geniş bir coğrafya ve uzun bir zaman diliminde çeşitlilik arz eden bu zenginlik görülebilir. Türklerin giyim kuşamları, kullandıkları ana malzemeler ve giyim kuşam tarzları açısından komşu kavimler ve uluslardan ayrılmıştır. Konargöçer yaşam tarzını benimseyen Türklerin giyim kuşamının ana malzemesini yünden ve deriden yapılan giysiler oluşturmuş, deri ve yün neredeyse her tür kıyafetin yapımı için kullanılmıştır. Ancak yerleşik yaşam tarzıyla birlikte ipekli kumaşların da yaygın bir şekilde kullanıldığı görülmüştür. Türklerin giyim kuşamları tarihi süreç içerisinde benimsedikleri yaşam tarzları, yaşadıkları coğrafyaya, dini inançlara, etkileşim içinde oldukları kavimler ve ulusların değişmesine bağlı olarak değişmiştir. Ancak Türklerin giyim-kuşamında kullanılan başlıklar, kuşaklar ve kemerler Orta Asya’dan Anadolu’ya hiç değişmeyen bir unsur olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Köktürk döneminden (552-744) kalan balballar Türklerin giyim kuşam tarzıyla ilgili önemli bilgiler vermektedir. Balballara bakıldığında Türklerin bozkırın yaşam tarzına uygun pantolon ceket tarzı kıyafetleri giydiği ve ceketlerin üzerine kemer kuşandığı görülmektedir. Bunun yanında Koço Uygur devleti (844-1368) ve Shazhou Uygur devlet (840-1226) döneminden kalan çeşitli yazılı belgeler, arkeolojik kayıtlar ve duvar resimleri de yerleşik yaşam tarzını benimseyen Uygurların giyim kuşam kültürü hakkında önemli bilgiler sunmaktadır. Özellikle de duvar resimleri eşsiz bir değere sahiptir. Bu duvar resimlerine portreleri çizilen Uygurlar, giyim kuşamındaki belli başlı özelliklerinden dolayı diğer etnik gruplardan ayrılmıştır. Bu çarpıcı özelliklerden biri de Uygur erkeklerinin giyim kuşamlarında kullandıkları kemerler ve kuşaklardır. Kuşak ve kemer bağlama âdeti, İslamiyet’ten sonraki dönemlerde de yaygın kullanılmış ve Türklerin giyim kuşam kültürünün ayrılmaz bir parçasını teşkil etmiştir. Bu konuda Kaşgarlı Mahmut tarafından kaleme alınan Divanü Lugati’t-Türk çok önemli bilgiler vermektedir. Giysilerde kemer ve kuşak kullanımı daha sonraki dönemlerde de karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Kuşaklar Anadolu’da ve Orta Asya’da Batı tarzı modern giysilerin yaygınlaşmasından önce geniş bir biçimde kullanılmıştır. Yeni Uygurcada pota veya belba?/belva? olarak adlandırılan kuşaklar, Doğu Türkistan’da yaşayan Uygur erkekler tarafından Batı tarzı takım elbiseler ve ceketlerin yaygınlaşmasından önce hem vücut sıcaklığını korumak hem de günlük yaşamda gerekli olan eşyaları taşımak amacıyla oldukça yaygın bir şekilde kullanılmıştır. Bunun yanında kuşaklar Uygur kültüründe erkeklerin toplumsal kimliğini vurgulayan önemli unsurlardan biri olarak da karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Çalışmamızın konusunu Uygur geleneksel erkek giyim kuşamında kullanılan kuşakların, tarihi süreç içerisindeki durumundan özellikle Köktürler, Uygurlar, Karahanlılar, Anadolu Türkleri ve Uygur Türkleri arasındaki kullanımlarından yola çıkılarak kuşakların işlevleri ve sembolik anlamlarını ortaya koymak oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışmanı amacı ise Uygur geleneksel erkek giyim kuşamında kullanılan kuşakların işlevi ve sembolik anlamlarını, kuşaklarla ilgili derlenen sözvarlığı üzerinden tarihi-karşılaştırmalı yöntemle filolojik açıdan incelemek ve elde edilen sonuçları tarihi, arkeolojik ve kültürel kaynaklarla desteklenerek Türk kültürünün tarihi süreç içerisindeki sürekliliğini ortaya koymaktır.
Prevalence and Associated Factors Related to Tobacco Consumption Among University Students in Malaysia
(OPEN MEDICAL PUBL LLC, 14624 N 55 ST, SCOTTSDALE , AZ 85254, UNITED STATES, 2024) Chow, Chui Yi; Hasan, Md Zobaer; Kamil, Anton Abdulbasah
Tobacco consumption is one of the major public health concerns worldwide. Moreover, alternative tobacco and nicotine products (ATNPs) are growing in popularity, especially among young adults in the past decade. The study aimed to determine the prevalence and associated sociodemographic factors of tobacco consumption among university students. A cross-sectional study was carried out among 338 university students of a private Malaysian university from March to April 2021. Data was collected using a self-administered online questionnaire with items including sociodemographic information, user status of tobacco consumption and types of tobacco product used. Descriptive statistics, Pearson’s chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test and simple and multiple logistic regression analyses were performed using the IBM SPSS version 26.0 to analyse the data. The prevalence of tobacco consumption in this study was 8.6% and the main tobacco product used was manufactured cigarettes. In Pearson’s chi square test and Fisher’s exact test, current use of tobacco was significantly associated with nationality, ethnicity, religion, school, current level of education and parents, siblings and friends use of tobacco (p<0.05). In simple and multiple logistic regression analysis, being non-Malaysian, Indian, Muslim, year 4 student and having parents or siblings who used tobacco, all had statistically significant associations with the current use of tobacco (p<0.05). Findings of this study showed that the use of tobacco among university students is concerning and warrants the need to develop and implement a strategic anti-tobacco program to limit this behaviour among university students.
Enhancement of SME feasibility through the integration of BMC, functional organization, and SCM
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS AS, KARL JOHANS GATE 5, NO-0154 OSLO, NORWAY, 2024) Chumaidiyah, Endang; Fauzi, Putri Maulani; Kamil, Anton Abdulbasah
Various studies indicate that resources pose one of the primary challenges for SMEs in enhancing their performance. Existing theories and concepts are often impractical and too complex to be applied effectively in improving SME performance and feasibility due to resource limitations. This paper aims to design a model for strengthening the performance and feasibility of SMEs, particularly micro-industries, by integrating three crucial approaches: business model canvas, functional organization, and supply chain management. The resulting model, named ‘Feasibility Model for SMEs,’ can serve as a simple and practical solution by focusing on key variables resulting from the integration of these three approaches. The research methodology involves a literature review and conceptual research to design the SME performance enhancement model. Subsequently, the model is applied to SME cluster X. Quantitative research is conducted using smart PLS tools to confirm the theory and test hypotheses regarding the design model for 50 SMEs. The model testing results indicate that supply chain, production, value proposition, and marketing are significant variables for enhancing SME performance. The model designed in this study is novel and highly practical for enhancing SME feasibility focusing on five variables, namely supply chain, production, value proposition, marketing, and performance.
Gravitating towards emission reduction targets in the G7 and E7 economies: the financial development and sustainable energy perspectives
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 530 WALNUT STREET, STE 850, PHILADELPHIA, PA 19106, 2024) Gyamfi, Bright Akwasi; Agozie, Divine Q.; Bekun, Festus Victor; Onifade, Stephen Taiwo
Governments throughout the globe are confronted with climate change issues. In the wake of the climate change conference COP26—the Glasgow consensus, the criticality of attaining emission reduction targets to restrain global average temperature to 1.5 degrees has been reemphasized. Hence, we assessed these laudable climate action targets from the financial development and sustainable energy perspectives within the E7 and G7 economies. In lieu of this, the application of Augmented Mean Group (AMG) and Quantile regression techniques on annual frequency data from both blocs between 1990 and 2019 provide useful insights into the cruciality of financial development and renewable energy in CO2 mitigation toward attaining the 1.5°C vis-à-vis the net-zero emission goals. The empirical outcome shows that renewables create paths to emissions reduction targets in both blocs. Furthermore, financial development corroborates renewables’ emission reduction roles specifically in the E7. Additionally, renewables’ interactive roles with the expanding economic growth trajectory of both blocs also induce emission-mitigating effects. Finally, an inverted U-Shaped EKC phenomenon was validated. Hence, green growth policies corroborated by financial expansion strategies are recommended and deemed apt for attaining net-zero emission targets in these strategic economic blocs.
Ergoterapi: Geleceğin Mesleği Olabilecek Bir Meslek Alanı
(KLINIK PSIKIYATRI DERGISI, STRAZBURG CAD 4-11 SIHHIYE, ANKARA 00000, TURKEY, 2017) Demirci, Onur Okan
‘Ergo’ kelimesi Yunanca kökenli olup ‘iş’ anlamına gelmektedir. Ruhsal veya fiziksel engeli bulunan bireyleri duruma yönelik aktivitelerle yeniden topluma kazandırmak amacıyla uygulanan bir yöntemdir. Ergoterapi, bir diğer adı ile uğraşı terapisi, bünyesinde sanat, müzik, resim, el işi, fiziksel aktiviteler, motor-fonksiyon terapisi, duyumsal algı sağlama egzersizleri, yaşamı idame ettirebilme egzersizleri gibi bir çok etkinliği barındırmaktadır. Bir çok insan ergoterapiyi yeni bir sağlık alanı olarak düşünebilir fakat tarihi oldukça eskidir. Milattan sonra 4. Yüzyılda Bergamada Asklepios tapınağında şifalı su, çamur banyoları, spor ve tiyatro etkinliklerinin engelli kişilerin rehabilitasyonunda kullanıldığı bilinmektedir. Ergoterapinin günümüzde etkinliğine dair giderek artan sayıda bilimsel makale yayınlanmaya devam etmektedir. Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’ nde ergoterapi en iyi sağlık meslekleri arasında 17. sırada yer alırken, tüm meslekler içinde en iyi meslekler sıralamasında 23. sırada yer almaktadır. Günümüzde dünyada bir çok alanda çalışan ergoterapistler bulunmakta iken ne yazık ki ülkemizde bu sayı çok kısıtlıdır. Bu anlamda ergoterapi, yakın gelecekte Türkiye’ de önemli bir iş alanı olacak gibi görünmektedir.
Psychiatric disorders, developmental, and academic difficulties among children and adolescents at-risk for schizophrenia: a controlled study
(AVES, BUYUKDERE CAD 105-9, MECIDIYEKOY, SISLI, ISTANBUL 34394, TURKEY, 2018) Gümüştaş, Funda; Koyuncu Kütük, Emel; Yulaf, Yasemin; Almış, Behice Han
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine whether there are differences in the presence of developmental delays, academic difficulties, and current mental disorders between offspring of parents with schizophrenia (High risk: HR) and offspring of parents with no mental illness (control group) up to the age of 16 years. The relationship of existing differences with psychosocial difficulties of having a parent with schizophrenia was evaluated. METHOD: The sample of the study consisted of 35 HR and 30 control offspring aged 7–16 years. All parents were assessed using the SCID-I by a psychiatrist and offspring using the K-SADS-PL by a child psychiatrist. Information about the early developmental stages and academic difficulties of children were obtained through interviews with healthy parents. Emotional and behavioural problem levels of children were determined by the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham-IV Questionnaire (SNAP-IV), the Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED), and the Child Depression Inventory (CDI). All assessments were adjusted for socio-demographic variables. RESULTS: The rates of generalized anxiety disorders, delayed walking, delayed speech and reading difficulties, the levels of conduct problems (CP), depression, and school phobia were significantly higher in HR offspring than in control. When adjusted for socio-demographic variables, the presence of delayed speech and reading difficulties and only CP levels continued to be significantly higher in HR group (p < .05). These differences were not associated with gender of ill parent, duration of parental illness, and hospitalization in affected group (p > .05). CONCLUSION: Internalizing problems such as anxiety and depression are considered as a psychosocial result of having a schizophrenic parent. The higher rates of speech delay, reading difficulties, and CP level might be genetically associated with schizophrenia.
A grey analytic hierarchy process approach to project manager selection
(EMERALD GROUP PUBLISHING LTD, HOWARD HOUSE, WAGON LANE, BINGLEY BD16 1WA, W YORKSHIRE, ENGLAND, 2018) Çelikbilek, Yakup
Purpose – Evaluations of grey systems and systems with subjective judgements are always like an impasse for science and companies. Especially, calculations of the problems which include various units are really difficult situations. The purpose of this paper is to propose a grey analytic hierarchy process (G-AHP) for engineering and managerial problems with grey systems to make more clear and objective decisions. Design/methodology/approach – Proposed G-AHP approach is applied to project manager selection for a software project of an energy company. The application includes three different units as year, score and assessment. Six engineers are evaluated with 25 criteria in the application. Weights of the factors and assessments are done by three top managers of the company as pairwise comparisons. Other data in the decision matrix are obtained from the personal information and exam results of engineers. Findings – Final weights of the criteria and evaluations of engineers are all done with the proposed G-AHP. Obtained results of G-AHP are also compared with grey “VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje” results as a validation of the calculations and proposed approach. Final results of the applications are ranked for the evaluations and comparison. All results of the case study are concluded with the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed G-AHP method both for this study and other fields of science, engineering and management. Originality/value – This study provides to evaluate and interpret grey systems with different units and subjective judgements for science, engineering and management more clearly and objectively in an easier way.
Theoretical Modelling of Chromospheric Emission Lines Through The Solar Activity Cycles 21–23 According To The Observational Analysis Results
(PUBL HOUSE BULGARIAN ACAD SCI, ACADEMICIAN G BONCEV ST, 1113 SOFIA, BULGARIA, 2018) Göker, Ümit Deniz
In our previous papers, we compared the connection between the sizes of faculae and plage regions, sunspots/sunspot groups (SGs), chromospheric emission lines and solar spectral irradiance variability between the spectral ranges 121.5–300.5 nm for the period 1981–2009 and discussed the changes in the sunspot counts (SSCs) and the number of SGs relative to the variations in solar activity indices. In this work, we tried to explain the theoretical reason for these variabilities in the ultraviolet region and connected these changes to the temporal variations of solar activity indices in comparison to different type of SSCs/SGs for the first time in the literature. We found that the intensity of Fe II (298.5 nm) ion in the last solar minimum was higher than the two previous solar minima 21 and 22. So, the velocity of particles of Fe II ions increases with decreasing density of the medium and increasing plage surface. Increasing velocity causes an increase in the acceleration and intensity of particles.
