Inquiring Children's Security within the Framework of Human Security: A Theoretical Assessment
(Ege Univ, 2024) Ozturk, Zerrin Ayse
While there is consensus on the individual as the primary referent object within the human security debate the question of which individuals remains inadequately addressed. In this paper children are the primary referents and beneficiaries of security, arguing children's human security possesses distinct characteristics that differentiate the nonviolent, preventable threats they face from those encountered by adults. Addressing these threats requires an integrated approach that combines theoretical exploration with practical policy implementation. The current academic discourse on human security, while extensive, must prioritize children's specific needs by acknowledging them as key referents of security and essential subjects in both theory and practice. This involves recognizing children as active social and political agents, and addressing the unique dimensions of their vulnerability through comprehensive, targeted strategies. Achieving meaningful progress in safeguarding children's security demands concerted efforts from all sectors, including researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and political leaders. Effective policy and practice require a collaborative approach that emphasizes the prevention and early identification of risks. Enhanced academic attention and robust discussions on children's security are vital in shaping policies that reflect the urgency of these issues and drive effective interventions on a global scale.
Determining the Relationship Between Death Anxiety and Decision on Organ Donation
(Asoc Regional Dialisis Trasplantes Renales, 2024) Koze, Burcak Sahin; Alcan, Aliye Okgun
Introduction: Individuals' thoughts and concerns about death can affect the decision-making process for organ donation. Objective: This descriptive study aims to determine the relationship between death anxiety and decision-making for organ donation. Material and Methods: The population of the study consisted of individuals aged 18 and over from Turkish society. The study sample consisted of 232 participants aged 18 and over who could actively use the Internet and voluntarily agreed to participate. The study data were collected using the Thorson-Powell Death Anxiety Scale and the Organ Donation Decision-Making Questionnaire via the Internet between February and April 2021. Results: In this study, 84.5% of the participants were women; the average age was 30.14 +/- 10.0. Participants' Thorson-Powell Death Anxiety Scale total score average was 43.95 +/- 16.93. The Organ Donation Decision Making Questionnaire advantage score average was 24.57 +/- 5.13, disadvantage mean score was 16.31 +/- 5.77, and decision mean score was 1.76 +/- 0.92. It was observed that there was a positive and weak correlation (r = .20, p = .002) between the Thorson-Powell Death Anxiety Scale total scores of the participants and the decision score averages of the Organ Donation Decision Questionnaire. Conclusions: It was observed that the organ donation decisions of the participants with death anxiety were positive. It is recommended to carry out more studies and organize training programs to determine the factors that will affect the organ donation decision of individuals. Conducting qualitative studies examining beliefs about death and cultural factors in deciding on organ donation is recommended.
INTERVAL ROBUST DESIGN ON QUALITY IMPROVEMENT FOR N ON-NORMAL AND CONTAMINATED RESPONSES
(University Cincinnati Industrial Engineering, 2024) Baydar, Atakan; Zeybek, Melis; Kozan, Elif; Kozan, Agah
The basis of robust parameter design is the creation of a design that can resist the negative effects caused by uncontrollable or difficult-to-control external and environmental factors, which affect the product parameters in achieving product design during product realization activities. Robustness is the ability of a product or process to be least affected by variabilities caused by external factors. The success of the response surface methodology generally depends on a model chosen to fit the data distribution. Making incorrect assumptions regarding data distribution when creating response surface models can affect the effectiveness of the quality improvement strategy used. Non-normal or contaminated data is a common phenomenon in quality improvement applications. Although non-normal data is common in robust parameter applications, it is often the case that users ignore the underlying distribution shape of the data at the modeling stage and use normal theory techniques naively. This study proposes a dual response surface approach based on robust confidence intervals for cases where the experimental data do not meet normality assumptions or have contaminated data distribution. A new dual response surface methodology is proposed based on modeling the MAD - t confidence interval, S-n - t confidence interval, and Q(n) - t confidence interval formulations with the response surface methodology. All the proposed methods make the process median unbiased for the mean using the skewness of the experimental data. Two well-known experimental design studies are used to demonstrate the procedure and its advantages.
Effects of Different Endurance Training Models on Players' Fitness Levels during the National Break in the Football Season
(Drustvo Pedagoga Tjelesne & Zdravstvene Kulture, 2024) Tutar, Murat; Rudarli, Gulbin; Kayitken, Bulent
Purpose: This pilot study aims to determine the effects of different endurance exercises, during the 14-day national break during the football season. Methods: Four groups were formed randomly from 44 male football players (age 17-19 years old, stature 179.0 +/- 6.16 cm, body mass 70.4 +/- 5.53 kg, and body fat ratio 10.6 +/- 2.18 %) who regularly train and compete in the youth category of a football team: Small-Sided Games (SSG, n=10), Large-Sided Games (LSG, n=18), Running Without the Ball (RWB, n=8), and Control group (CG, n=8). VO2max (30-15 IFT and Bruce Protocol), balance (Y test), 10-20-30 m sprint, and T-test before and after the 14-day national break during the football season were measured. Heart rate and rate of perceived exertion (RPE) followed during the training program. Results: Significant differences were found in SSG (P= .001) and LSG (P= .005) in 30-15 IFT test (P< .05). In the Y-balance test, a statistically significant difference was found in SSG (P= .001) and LSG (P= .001) only. Conclusions: As a result, coaches are recommended to apply one of the RWB, SSG, or LSG training in addition to their routine football periods.
The Spatial Linkages Between International Migration and Security: The Empirical Findings From Türkiye Hosting Most Refugee In The World
(Ege Univ, 2024) Tabak, Osman; Zorlu, Merve; Celik, Necmettin; Kaya, A. Aysen
The increasing international migration in the world, especially due to the conflict, have potential negative impacts in immigrant countries. An increase in crime rates caused by unemployed immigrants who cannot meet theirfood and housing needs is one of them. Accordingly, the study investigates the effects of international immigrants, whose numbers reached about 3,9 million in T & uuml;rkiye, on violent and financial crime rates. The Spatial Error Panel Model with Fixed Effects covering T & uuml;rkiye's 26 NUTS-II regions and 2016-2019 period indicate that there are positive and statistically significant relationships between immigrants and these crime rates. However, the negative impacts of international migration on security are mainly observed in financial crimes rather than violent crimes. Furthermore, the most important determinants of these crimes are high food and housing costs. And also, there is a negative relationship between uneducated employment and financial crimes rather than violent crimes. On the other hand, the findings indicate that regions have spatial dependency positively in terms of violent crimes. It means that as average violent crimes increase in the neighbors of a region, the violent crimes of that region also increase.
