Artificial Intelligence Applications and Diplomacy in International Relations

2024-07-25T22:48:08+03:00

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is significantly reshaping the landscape of international relations, influencing everything from global politics to security dynamics and diplomatic practices in a multifaceted way.

The global AI race, led by major powers such as the United States, China and Russia, underscores the strategic importance of AI in asserting national prestige and power and potentially redefining power hierarchies in the international system. Both academics and policymakers note that AI increases its potential to accelerate and exacerbate trends in international politics rather than initiating completely unpredictable transformations. The role of this technology as an influential force is more evident in its applications in military, defense, trade and diplomacy, and it can affect the global balance of power and the nature of war.

International organizations, in their pivotal role, are not just shaping AI norms and governance, but also adapting to the rapid development of artificial intelligence. This evolution is not just about managing the impacts of AI technologies, but also about updating traditional diplomatic practices. These changes raise profound questions about the future of international politics and relations in a world increasingly dominated by artificial intelligence.

Ebelerin Perinatal Kayıp ve Yas Ebeliği Hakkında Bilgi, Tutum ve Deneyimleri: Nitel Bir Çalışma

2024-08-22T16:52:12+03:00

Nitel desendeki bu araştırma, ebelerin perinatal kayıp ve yas ebeliği hakkındaki bilgi, tutum ve deneyimlerinin değerlendirilmesi amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Araştırmanın örneklem grubunu kamu hastanelerinin kadın doğum kliniklerinde çalışan 21 ebe oluşturmuştur. Veri toplamada yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılmış olup verilerinin içerik analizinde MAXQDA 2022 kullanılmıştır. Nitel verilerin analizi sonucunda 3 tema ve 6 alt kod oluşturuldu. Çalışmaya katılan ebelerin yaş ortalamalarının 28,52±2,80 olduğu tespit edildi. Ebelerin %23,8’inin kayıp yaşayan kadın ve ailelerine bakım verirken kendilerini yeterli görmediği belirlendi. Araştırmaya katkı sağlayan ebelerin yas bakımı verdikleri süreçte kaybı iletmekte zorlandıkları (n:6), üzgün ve savunmasız hissettikleri (n:16), ayrıca hastaların tepkilerinden de çekindikleri (n:21) belirlendi. Ayrıca yas bakımı kapsamında kayıp yaşamış kişilerin tek kişilik odalarda hospitalize edilmesi (n:21), manevi ihtiyaçlarının karşılanabileceği din görevlilerine (n:4) ya da psikolojik destek için profesyonel kişilere ulaşımın sağlanmasını (n:7) ve yas ebeliği hakkında hem sağlık bakanlığının hem de üniversitelerin eğitim ve protokoller geliştirmesi gerektiğini bildirdiler (n:18). Araştırma sonucuna göre ebelerin yas ebeliği/bakımı konusunda kendilerini yetersiz gördüğü ve eğitim ihtiyacı duydukları saptanmıştır. Yas bakımının multidisipliner ve etkin bir eğitim programı ile daha çok ebeye ulaştırılması, kayıp ve kederin fiziksel, psikolojik ve sosyal bileşenlerini tanımak ve zorluklarla başa çıkmak için ebelerin uygun becerilerle donatılması önemlidir.

The Relationship Between Psychological Resilience and Spirituality in Generation Z University Students

2024-10-21T07:40:47+03:00

In this study, it is aimed to determine the relationship between psychological resilience level and spirituality tendencies of Generation Z university students. In addition, it is also aimed to determine whether the perception of spirituality and psychological resilience levels of Generation Z university students differ according to gender, age, income status; and to determine the relationships between psychological resilience and subjective perception of religiosity and frequency of worship. Within the scope of the research, a total of 318 students, 269 females and 49 males, aged between 18 and 25 with an average age of 21, were reached. The research was conducted using a voluntary, electronic-based questionnaire. The questionnaire consists of Personal Information Form, Brief Psychological Resilience Scale and Spirituality Scale. Quantitative method and relational survey model were used in the study. The data set was analyzed using SPSS 20.0 statistical program. Parametric tests were applied for normally distributed scales and non-parametric tests were applied for non-normally distributed scales. In the findings obtained as a result of the research, it was determined that men had higher levels of psychological resilience than women, while women had higher levels of spirituality than men. It was found that both psychological resilience and spirituality levels increased significantly with age. No significant relationship was found between psychological resilience and spirituality according to income. Again, according to the results of the study, a low level positive significant relationship was found between psychological resilience and spirituality scale and a medium level positive significant relationship was found with the spiritual contentment sub-dimension of the spirituality scale. In addition, a positive significant relationship was found between psychological resilience and the frequency of reading the Holy Quran and fasting. As a result, certain positive relationships were found between psychological resilience and spiritual and religious tendencies.

Developmental Problems in Children in the Modern Age

2024-10-21T07:50:38+03:00

In the modern age, developmental problems in children have taken on a complex structure with various socio-cultural, digital and psychological effects. The following problems stand out among these:

Digital addiction and screen time: The widespread use of technology can lead to increased screen addiction in children, negatively affecting the development of social skills. Excessive screen time, especially at young ages, can lead to physical and mental health problems such as attention deficit, sleep problems and obesity.
Social isolation: Socializing in the digital world can replace face-to-face communication. This can prevent children from developing social skills, empathy and understanding group dynamics.
Academic pressures and perfectionism: In the modern age, pressure for education and careers is increasing. This can cause emotional problems such as stress, anxiety and depression in children.
Emotional and psychological problems: Social media and online platforms can create an ideal "perfect life" perception in children, causing self-confidence problems and body image disorders. Bullying, social pressures and constant comparisons can negatively affect children's psychological health.
Changes in family dynamics: Changes in family structure (divorce, single-parent families, dual-career parents) and parents' busy work schedules can affect children's emotional development. Children who do not receive enough attention and support may experience delays in their emotional development.
Hyperactivity and attention deficit disorder (ADHD): In the modern age, the diagnosis of such disorders has become more common. Hyperactivity, concentration problems and impulsive behaviors in children can make the educational process and social relationships difficult.

In order to overcome these developmental problems, families, educators and social organizations should take responsibility for providing more support to children.

A Historical Analysis of the Railway Transportation Economy in Turkey

2024-07-25T22:45:46+03:00

The transportation of people, goods, and cargo from one place to another has been a significant endeavor throughout human history. The most important transportation system that marked the 19th century with the Industrial Revolution was the railway. The development of the capitalist economic system followed a parallel path with the development of railways. Large-scale investments were made in the construction of railways at great speed in Europe, particularly in England, and around the world. Railway investments in Turkey also first arrived during the Ottoman Empire period, mainly through European companies from England, France, and Germany. During this period, the railways built and operated by foreign companies with privileges granted to them were quickly nationalized during the Republic period, and the construction of railways relying on national capital under state control was deemed crucial for industrialization and economic development. Following World War II, the changing conditions led to different transportation policies in Turkey, with a focus on road construction while neglecting railways. Since the 2000s, investment in railways has once again become a topic of interest in Turkey. In this study, starting from the pre-Republic period, the historical development and economic dimension of the railway transportation system in Turkey are examined, and the state of railway transportation economic policy during various periods throughout the history of the Republic is presented.

Modern Problems of Linguoculturology

2024-12-11T20:18:23+03:00

The division of linguistic science into various schools since the beginning of the 19th century, and into separate multidisciplinary fields since the beginning of the 20th century, was accompanied by very serious discussions. Since the beginning of the new century, the generalizing tendencies towards various schools and fields with the logic of “Thesis-antithesis-synthesis” have been strengthening. However, this is not a mechanical, but an analytical-methodological generalization that allows us to determine the limits of activity and problems of each school and field. The relevance of the article is precisely this aspect, namely, the illumination of the successes and difficulties encountered by linguoculturology as a multidisciplinary field over several decades of experience from a modern perspective. Although linguoculturology takes its scientific and methodological roots from ethnolinguistics, since the end of the last century it has been developing as an independent multidisciplinary field within the boundaries of linguistics and culturology. This field, which already has a rich material base and a fairly wide range of research technologies and methods based on its application to languages of various systems, is strengthening its position in Azerbaijan. The first experiences of Azerbaijani linguoculturology confirm that the Azerbaijani language, which is generally of Turkic origin, is a fertile object in this respect, also because here - in the Azerbaijani language - there are very rich linguoculturological connections of elements of both Turkic, Arabic and Persian origin. This creates an extremely attractive, and at the same time interesting "landscape" for the researcher from a system-structural and pragmatic point of view.
