Arazi Değişim Bilimi: Sahra Altı Afrika’daki savan ekosistemlerinde korunan alanları uzaktan algılama ile gözlemlemenin zorluklarını anlamak

Land Change Science (LCS), as a coupled human-environment system, is a multidisciplinary area that explores the dynamics of land use and land cover to understand key theories, problems, methodologies, and model applications. The present review integrated the research that have been conducted in the savanna ecosystem of Sub-Saharan Africa from a geographical perspective. The present study elaborates contemporary issues and thoughts in terms of several key aspects: (1) Impacts of protected areas on the surrounding natural environment, wildlife, and socio-economic activities of humans, (2) with the impact of new developments in remote sensing (RS) technology, observations of land change and the changes in the relationship between ecology and RS, (3) the effects of developments in RS on our environmental perspective and new connection opportunities for interrelated scientific disciplines, (4) the vulnerability of the savanna vegetation due to its multilayered and complex structure. Due to the changing climatic conditions, it is inevitable that ecosystems will encounter various problems in the near future, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. Understanding the complex savanna ecosystem remains a challenge for researchers. Therefore, it is very essential to observe better and understand the nature and socio-economic cycle of human for a sustainable future of savanna ecosystems.

A Training on Perspective Taking for Preschoolers with Typical Development and with High-Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorder

Perspective taking refers to the ability to understand others’ thoughts, feelings and perspectives. From previous studies, it emerges that children with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder show many difficulties in understanding the other’s point of view, especially in terms of thoughts and emotions. The aims of the present study were: (1) to verify the effectiveness of group training in promoting perspective taking in a small group of preschoolers including two children with diagnosis of high-functioning autism spectrum disorder; and (2) to verify whether the learning in the perspective taking skills could be transferred to everyday situations in terms of prosocial behaviors. Twelve children (mean age: 54.5 months), 10 with typical development and 2 with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder, participated in the study. The effectiveness of training was evaluated in a pre/post-test design both via experimental tests and direct observations. The results highlighted the effectiveness of the training in enhancing perspective taking ability and prosocial behaviors of preschoolers, including the two children with a diagnosis of high-functioning autism spectrum disorder. The use of non-clinical and educational methodologies can contribute to the development of children's perspective taking skills by means of daily educational activities in small group including children with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder. These results have great applicative relevance for early childhood education and care centers.

The Educational Philosophical Thoughts of Abu Hamid Al Ghazali (1058 - 1111) and ‎John Dewey (1859 - 1952): A Comparative Study‎

The purpose of this study was to compare the educational thoughts of Al Ghazali and Dewey, two renowned scholars. In this ‎study, the researcher surveyed Al Ghazali's and Dewey's efforts on education using methodological qualitative research methods, ‎namely constant comparative analysis and discourse analysis, to discuss and evaluate their educational thoughts and to determine ‎their educational philosophical thoughts in order to objectively validate their educational aspects as educators. Similarities and ‎differences were discovered in the results of this study. The results indicated that the educational philosophical implementations ‎of Islamic and Pragmatic thoughts in terms of school curricula, teaching methods, roles of teachers, roles of students, and school ‎roles are viewed differently by each philosopher. Generally, Al Ghazali’s educational philosophical perspectives embody the idea ‎that education involves the intellectual, mental, spiritual, ethical, moral, and physical elements of a person. Whereas, Dewey’s ‎educational philosophical perspectives embody that the person, who is a social being, acquires knowledge through personal ‎experiences and is born with intrinsic skills that education should develop. Education must aim at nurturing and promoting those ‎skills to students’ fullest potential. Both scholars believed that promoting the well-being of children would be the school's role by ‎providing students with curricula enriched with a range of subject matters. Based on the study results, the researcher ‎recommended that those who are concerned with the business of changing lives must realize the importance of teaching ‎philosophy in order to establish their own. The researcher also made a number of recommendations, the most important of which ‎was that future research on this topic should take into account only one educational aspect as opposed to combining all five ‎aspects into a single study.‎ ‎(Keywords: Abu Hamid Al-Ghazali, John Dewey, Educational Philosophical Thoughts, Comparative Study)‎

"I Do Not Know How You Feel and How I Feel About That": Mentalizing Impairments in Machado-Joseph Disease.

Machado Joseph disease (MJD), also known as spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3), is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease. Mentalizing is the ability to think and understand the mental state of the other and of the self in terms of thoughts, feelings, and intentions. The aim of this study is to fill the gap in our understanding of mentalizing in MJD since there is currently very little and inconsistent research on MJD and mentalizing. A total of 18 Jews of Yemenite origin with clinically and genetically confirmed MJD, 5 pre-symptomatic MJD with a positive genetic test, and 17 Jews of Yemenite origin healthy controls, underwent a battery of tests consisting of reading the mind in the eyes (RME), Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20), and false belief test (FBt). The MJD group scored lower on the RME and FBt, and higher on TAS-20 test compared to control. A significant negative correlation was found between disease duration and RME score. All the pre-symptomatic participants scored within the normal clinical range in all tests. MJD patients demonstrated a widespread deficiency in the ability to mentalizing on a clinical level with autistic characteristics. These impairments may impact the patient's interpsychic experience and daily life interactions and have important clinical implication. Pre-symptomatic participants demonstrated normal mentalizing in all tests, suggesting that the mentalizing impairments do not precede the symptoms of ataxia and are part of the clinical picture of MJD.

Predicting undergraduates’ future preferred mode of learning during the closure of institutions of higher learning and its implications

E-learning was abruptly adopted as a strategic response to the sudden closure of institutions of learning induced by the COVID-19 pandemic. In contrast to the conventional voluntary adoption of e-learning, this study aims to explore a new trail by drawing challenges of e-learning eclectically from recent literature to develop an alternative theoretical model of future preferred mode of learning against the background of the sudden closure of institutions of higher learning induced by the COVID-19 pandemic. The theoretical model was validated via an empirical study based on the responses obtained from 352 Malaysian undergraduates. Results from the multinomial regression revealed that the model was significant (p-value < 0.01). Moreover, Information and Communication Technology infrastructure positively predicted whereas bottom 40% household income category and disadvantages of e-learning negatively predicted undergraduates’ future preference for blended learning (relative to 100% conventional classroom learning). Being male and possessing discipline for e-learning positively predicted whereas living in semi-urban area and disadvantages of e-learning negatively predicted undergraduates’ future preference for 100% e-learning (relative to 100% conventional classroom learning). This study adds to the body of knowledge by way of an alternative theoretical model of undergraduates’ future preferred mode of learning, which may facilitate future meta analysis on similarities and differences in challenges related to e-learning during the closure of institutions of higher learning across different countries. This study concludes with some reflective thoughts in terms of theory, practice and policy about one important lesson learned from this unprecedented closure of institutions of higher learning, which is readiness for blended learning to deal with future unexpected crises.

Pandangan Ulama Klasik Ibnu Sina dan Ibnu Miskawaih tentang Pendidikan

Al-qur'an and al-Sunnah are the principles of Islamic education. Thus, it can be understood that the purpose of Islamic education is to unite oneself to Allah. That is, uniting oneself to Allah is the main priority in Islamic education apart from scientific objectives (science and technology, expertise, skills and professionalism), forming human beings to become caliphs, forming noble morals, forming Islamic human beings for oneself and for society, and preparing human beings. for life in this world and the hereafter. When Islamic studies in the West were growing, the study of classical Muslim figures was emphasized. In addition to comparing the theories and thoughts of classical figures and also re-exploring their thoughts which made a very large contribution to education today. Ibn Sina has the view that education must be directed at all the potential that a person has towards perfect development, namely physical, intellectual and moral development. Whereas Ibnu Miskawaih's thoughts in terms of education cannot be separated from his concept of humans and morals.

Dissociation and traumatic memory in adolescents with physical disabilities

Dissociation occurs during or after an event that has caused trauma. Generally, dissociation takes place when an individual reacts during or after a traumatic event in self-protection to avoid psychological harm. This may be presented as a distortion of thoughts in terms of space, time, consciousness or even personality. This study sought to understand whether the memory of trauma influenced dissociation. A dissociation events scale was used to explore the levels of dissociation within factors such as derealisation, amnesia and absorption. A correlation design was used to find out the relationship between memory with dissociation. The results indicated that there was a positive relationship between the memory of trauma and dissociation. Pearson’s correlation was used to find the relationship between the impact of the memory of trauma and dissociation. The findings were inverse. The impact of trauma increased when dissociation decreased.&#x0D;

Analisis Wacana Islam Moderat: Kajian Tafsir Lisan Perspektif Gus Ahmad Bahauddin Nursalim

The study of Islam in Indonesia are seen to be very diverse, both in terms of thoughts and procedures for carrying out worship. The term moderate Islam is now starting to be reinvigorated as a step to unite the religious understanding of the community. Differences in people's understanding are considered to be able to trigger the emergence of divisions that can damage the integrity of the Indonesia. This study aims to analyze moderate Islamic discourse in the study of oral interpretation of KH. Ahmad Bahauddin Nursalim broadcast via social media Youtube. This study used a qualitative approach through the descriptive-analytical method of Teun Van Dijk's Critical Discourse Analysis (AWK). The results indicated that moderate Islam in the study of oral interpretation from the perspective of KH. Ahmad Bahauddin Nursalim was different from Islamic view in the Middle East, although it has the same theological understanding. This understanding actually emphasizes that Islam is not a religion that carries hard currents, takes extreme actions by disbelievers or heretical. On the other hand, moderate Islam as Islam that is rahmatan lil 'alamin is in line with the teachings of Islam inherited by the Prophet Muhammad. This study concluded that moderate Islam is appropriate to use in this country of Indonesia which has a diversity of ethnicities, nations and religions.

OTHELLO: A POSTCOLONIAL PLAY

In pursuance of Literary Theory and Criticism, texts are drastically heterogeneous. They do not contain any general meaning, but each time a text is read from a different perspective, it reproduces new meanings and contributes to the propagation of new ideas and theories. A deconstructive reading can reveal the irreconcilable possibilities generated by the text, and the reader finds it strenuous to determine any permanent meanings. In this paper, Shakespeare's Othello is read from a different perspective in adherence to postcolonial theory. The Othello bears several references to postcolonial qualities – the Eurocentric ideology of Elizabethan people, who incline to think and express their thoughts in terms of binary oppositions, the notion of postcolonial othering, the position of marginalized, a clash between the Orient and the Occident, the hybridity of culture, identity crisis, and European racial consciousness, etc. Thus, the present paper focuses mainly on Shakespeare's work Othello with a postcolonial approach in the light of Edward Said's Orientalism.

Parents in couple therapy: An intervention targeting marital and coparenting relationships.

This article describes the treatment framework and core therapeutic principles of the integrative brief systemic intervention (IBSI), a manualized six‐session intervention intended for parents seeking couple therapy. IBSI aims to work on the couple's presenting problem, considering its specific impact in the marital and coparenting domains. The basic premise of IBSI is to consider that, when working with couples who have children, therapeutic work on their coparenting alliance may be used as a lever, as both parents may be particularly motivated to improve their relationship for their children's benefit. Increasing the coparenting alliance may then facilitate work on deeper conflicts within the marital relationship. The core therapeutic principles of IBSI are: (1) joining with the couple as romantic partners and a coparenting team from the start of the therapeutic process; (2) supporting the parents in increasing their awareness regarding their children's behavior and emotional experiences when facing their parents’ conflicts; and (3) working on the spill‐ and cross‐over effects between marital and coparenting relationships (i.e., exploring how conflict or positivity spills over from one relationship to the other or crosses over from one partner to the other). Therapeutic work following these main therapeutic principles is expected to improve the quality of both relationships. A clinical case is provided to illustrate the core therapeutic principles of IBSI.

Burnt Out and Dropping Out: A Comparison of the Experiences of Autistic and Non-autistic Students During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Autistic students are more likely to drop out of university, while facing both challenges and opportunities within university environments. This study compared the experiences of autistic and non-autistic current United Kingdom students, in terms of thoughts about dropping out, burnout, mental health and coping, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Burnout was of particular interest as this is a relatively unexamined phenomenon for autistic students. Seventy autistic and 315 non-autistic students, completed a mixed methods questionnaire with standardized measures of burnout (personal and academic), mental health (depression, stress, and anxiety), and coping styles (adaptive and maladaptive). We also included qualitative questions about dropping out and COVID-19 experiences. We found autistic participants experienced higher rates of burnout and mental health symptoms and were more likely to have thought about dropping out. Reasons given for thinking about dropping out, for both groups, focused on poor mental well-being, doubts about university, and academic challenges. For autistic participants, further analyses did not identify specific predictors of thinking about dropping out, but for non-autistic participants, this was predicted by maladaptive coping styles and academic burnout. Academic and personal burnout predicted one another for autistic students, and age, maladaptive coping, autistic characteristics, stress, and anxiety additionally predicted burnout for non-autistic students. Similarities in experiences during the pandemic were noted, with both groups experiencing negative social implications, difficulties adjusting to emergency online learning, and poorer psychological well-being. Moving forward from COVID-19, universities must find ways to enhance both academic and social support, to enable equal opportunity within Higher Education for autistic students.

المضامین الذهنیة وعلاقتها بالدوال اللفظیة فی الشعر المعاصر(دراسة تحلیلیة)

الملخص بسم الله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله، وعلى أصحابه وآل بيته الطيبين الطاهرين وسلم سلاما کثيرا، أما بعد؛ فهذا البحث يحاول في صفحاته ، إلقاء الضوء على نتاج شاعرين معاصرين، منطلقا من الرؤية الشعرية التي تدور أولا في خلد المبدع ، وتعتمل في شعوره ، ثم تظهر للمتلقي في صورة لفظية معبرة ،عن کل ما يدور بداخل النفس الشاعرية من أفکار وأحاسيس ،کما تهدف تلک الدراسة الدوال اللفظية التي يعبر بها الشاعر عن هذه المضامين، ومن ثم تحليل الأساليب البلاغية المتنوعة التي يلجأ إليها الشاعر لاستخراج ما في ذهنه وضميره من عواطف جياشة أو أفکار دوارة في عقله ، ويحب أن يطلع عليها الناس والمتلقين ، وتحاول الدراسة : تبيان مواطن الإجادة في استخدام هذه الدوال اللفظية للتعبير الصادق عما يحسه أو يعانيه الشاعر من معاناة فاضت بها روحه فباح بها شعرا عربيا رصينا ، وقد اتجهت الدراسة للتطبيق على النصوص الشعرية المعاصرة :وبخاصة الشعراء المعاصرين لوقت هذه الدراسة –أطال الله بقاءهم ومتعهم بالصحة والعافية- وهما الشاعر الدکتور : بسيم عبد العظيم في ديوانه الشعرى لو تطلبين العمر ، والشاعر المبدع أ. محمد ناجى يحى في ديوانه احتواء وسقت على ذلک الشواهد المتعددة من قصائد الديوان مع الشرح والتحليل ،وهى دراسة لها الأسبقية في تحليل الديوانين وإظهار مواطن الإجادة فيهما ،والله من وراء القصد وهو يهدى السبيل. Abstract In its pages, this research tries to study literary and rhetorical phenomena that the modern criticism has been interested in looking at and analyzing, and to use psychology data and methods to explain linguistic and rhetorical phenomena through the mental contents of poetry, and these contents that include everything that goes on inside the poetic soul in terms of thoughts and feelings It also aims to study the verbal functions by which the poet expresses these contents, and then analyze the various rhetorical methods that the poet uses to extract the strong emotions or thoughts in his mind and his conscience, and he likes to be viewed by people and the recipients, and the study tries to show the points of mastery. In using these verbal functions to express honestly what the poet feels or suffers from suffering that overflows his soul, so he explores sober Arabic poetry:Bsseem Abdel Azeem In his poetry collection Lw Tatlobeen Alumar (If you want a lifetime) the creative poet A. Mohammad Naji Yahya, in his collection of poems ,book “Ehtewaa(Contain)”, and I cited the multiple evidences from the Divan poems with explanation and analysis. It is a study that takes precedence in analyzing the two divisions and showing the areas of mastery in them.

The Theory of Mind (ToM): theoretical, neurobiological and clinical profiles

The concept of "Theory of Mind" (ToM) is defined as the cognitive ability to represent one's own and others' mental states, in terms of thoughts and beliefs, but also of desires, demands and feelings, so that one can explain and predict behaviour. In this work the theoretical profiles, the main reference models, the related neurobiological and clinical profiles are analysed, orienting future research on the question whether or not it is interesting to further investigate the theoretical aspects under examination, such as empathy and the perception of the self and the other in relation to the neurobiological components, to draw a common line able to connect the loss of these functions with the accentuation or the onset of certain pathologies, wondering whether it is the functional compromises of these capacities and functions that cause the psychopathological condition to arise or whether it is rather the disease that induces the dysfunctional modification of these capacities or functions.

Twitter Sentiment Analysis Approaches: A Survey

The study carried out in this paper provides an overview of the algorithms and approaches that have been used for sentiment analysis in twitter. The reviewed articles are categories into four categories based on the approach they use. Furthermore, we discuss directions for future research on how twitter sentiment analysis approaches can utilize theories and technologies from other fields such cognitive science, semantic Web, big data and visualization.

Why do consumers procrastinate and what happens next?

PurposeThis paper aims to examine the factors leading to and resulting from procrastination under high price uncertainty and provide recommendations for how managers can reduce consumer procrastination, thus decreasing consumer regret, anger and retaliatory behaviors.Design/methodology/approachHypothesized relationships were tested through two scenario-based experiments using student samples. Data was analyzed using general linear model, path analysis and Wald chi-square test.FindingsLong time limits, price uncertainty and price consciousness, all increase the likelihood of procrastination. Prestige seeking reduces procrastination, but only when time limits are short. When one delays a purchase and later the price of the item gets increased or one makes a purchase and later the price gets further reduced, procrastination and purchase decision both equally can lead to anger, which then increases the probability of exit, voice or word of mouth (WOM); however, procrastination has a much stronger impact than deciding to purchase on self-responsibility and regret, which in turn increases negative WOM.Research limitations/implicationsThis paper provides a greater understanding of antecedents and consequences of procrastination as well as the drivers of retaliatory behavior. Further, the findings highlight differential consequences of consumer regret and anger on consumption behaviors.Practical implicationsThis paper provides practical suggestions for reducing consumers’ procrastination through leveraging the effects of purchase time limit and price uncertainty in general, and more specifically, for prestige-seeker and price conscious consumers. The findings provide evidence for a silent path from procrastination to retaliation and highlight the importance of possible remedies or interventions by the companies to mitigate consumer emotions resulting from procrastination.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, this research is the first to apply temporal motivation theory in the context of consumer behavior under price uncertainty, and examine consequences of consumer procrastination in terms of thoughts, feelings and retaliatory behavior.
