How Has South Africa's Membership of BRICS Intensified Uneven and Combined Development in the Country and Beyond?
(Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği, 2024) Baran, Sinan
The recent African scramble has resulted in uneven and combined development (UCD) in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) throughout the 21st century due to unequal exchange. South Africa plays a sub-imperial role in this scramble in SSA. It both exploits and is exploited. The mining industry in South Africa has attracted interest from colonial powers, English-speaking businesses, and foreign investors, making it a highly lucrative sector. Furthermore, most black South Africans have been employed in the mining industry since the late 19th century. Over the past 25 years, the African National Congress government has utilised the mining industry to achieve economic transformation through black economic empowerment policies. This study proposes that the mining sector in South Africa is responsible for the ongoing UCD, despite receiving new investments and empowerment policies. South Africa's inclusion in BRICS has broadened its range of international partners beyond its traditional Western or African counterparts. However, South Africa's decision to join the BRICS group in 2011 has not yet yielded the expected transformation in the country's economy and growth. As a result, it is uncertain whether South Africa's BRICS membership has addressed the country's persistent problem of UCD. This study argues that South Africa's BRICS membership has exacerbated UCD in the country. This study proposes that Trotsky's UCD analytical framework is useful for analysing South Africa's policy choice to join BRICS, which strengthens its sub-imperial role.
The Phenomenon of Voluntary Dropout: An Investigation into Management Information Systems Students
(Pegem Akad Yayıncılık Eğitim Danışmanlık Hizmetleri Tic Ltd Sti, 2023) Bahat, İsa; Ernas, Sevgi; Işık, Metin
The primary objective of this research is to explore the factors contributing to voluntary dropout in higher education, and to suggest improvements for areas identified as deficient, drawing upon the views of students enrolled in the Management Information Systems Department. Utilizing a basic qualitative research design, this investigation was undertaken. The data were compiled using semi-structured interview forms, devised by the researchers. The study employed a purposive sampling technique, focusing on a sample group of 21 students from the Management Information Systems Department at State University. This group included students who had successfully transferred laterally, those who had attempted to but were unable to make such a transfer, and those who expressed a desire to do so in the future. Data collected were scrutinized through content analysis. Understanding the motives and implications of voluntary dropout is crucial in formulating educational policies with the intent of enhancing the quality of higher education, optimizing the utilization of resources allocated for education, and mitigating the adverse effects of school dropout. The study's findings suggest that factors such as the university's reputation, the opportunities it provides, personal and financial considerations, and the geographical location of the institution, significantly influence students' decisions to pursue lateral transfers.
Framed Clad Helices in Euclidean 3-space
(Unıv Nıs, Fac Scı Math, 2023) Mak, Mahmut
In this study, we introduce framed clad helices, which are a generalization of clad (i.e. C-slant or 2-slant) helices in Euclidean 3-space. They also include framed helices and framed slant helices. After, we give a characterization of the framed clad helices using the alternative adapted frame, which is more useful than the adapted frame of a framed curve. Moreover, we prove the existence of framed spherical images of any framed curve using alternative adapted frames. Additionally, we obtain interesting results regarding the relationship between a framed clad helix and its framed spherical images. Finally, we support the concept with some nice graphics.
An Efficient Numerical Scheme for Biological Models in the Frame of Bernoulli Wavelets
(Tech Science Press, 2023) Li, Fei; Baskonuş, Hacı Mehmet; Kumbinarasaiah, S.; Gao, Wei; İlhan, Esin
This article considers three types of biological systems: the dengue fever disease model, the COVID-19 virus model, and the transmission of Tuberculosis model. The new technique of creating the integration matrix for the Bernoulli wavelets is applied. Also, the novel method proposed in this paper is called the Bernoulli wavelet collocation scheme (BWCM). All three models are in the form system of coupled ordinary differential equations without an exact solution. These systems are converted into a system of algebraic equations using the Bernoulli wavelet collocation scheme. The numerical wave distributions of these governing models are obtained by solving the algebraic equations via the Newton-Raphson method. The results obtained from the developed strategy are compared to several schemes such as the Runge Kutta method, and ND solver in mathematical software. The convergence analyses are discussed through theorems. The newly implemented Bernoulli wavelet method improves the accuracy and converges when it is compared with the existing methods in the literature.
Detecting the OPRK1 rs963549 and rs997917 Polymorphisms by Novel PCR-RFLP Methods and Determining Their Genotype/Allele Frequencies in a Turkish Population
(Pleiades Publishing, 2023) Özkan-Kotiloğlu, Selin
Opioid receptor kappa (KOR) is one of three endogenous opioid receptors which has critical roles in rewarding systems by promoting anti-reward effects and causes dysphoria and relapse. KOR is encoded by the OPRK1 gene and the polymorphisms of OPRK1 gene have been reported to be associated with various diseases. OPRK1 rs963549 and rs997917 are two polymorphisms of the OPRK1 gene. They are shown to have potential to affect addiction and alter the response to pharmacotherapy leading to individual differences, therefore they are accepted as marker polymorphisms. Hence, in the current study, it is aimed to develop PCR-RFLP assays to genotype OPRK1 rs963549 and rs997917 polymorphisms. The PCR-RFLP methods were developed for the detection of OPRK1 rs963549 and rs997917 polymorphisms and were tested in 100 healthy Turkish controls. Allele frequencies of rs963549 in the Turkish population were 0.81 for allele C and 0.19 for allele T, and the genotype frequencies were 66% for CC, 31% for CT, and 3% for TT. For rs997917 polymorphism, 32% of studied subjects had TT genotype, 56 and 12% of them had TC and CC genotypes, respectively and allele frequencies were 0.60 for allele T and 0.40 for allele C. Novel PCR-RFLP methods were successfully developed for the detection of OPRK1 rs963549 and rs997917 polymorphisms, which could be preferred and easily applied in the laboratories aiming to genotype OPRK1 rs963549 and rs997917 polymorphisms. Moreover, obtained allele frequencies may provide a perspective to pharmacogenetics and individualized therapy.
