1990-2000 yılları arasında Türkiye’de kuduzla mücadele
(Bilkent University, 2024) Yağan, Elif Ceren; Taşçı, Helin; Altın, Mehmet Emir
Bu makale, Ankara Üniversitesi enfeksiyon anabilim başkanı olan Prof. Dr. Serhat Birengel ile görüşülerek yapılan 1990-2000 yılları arasında Türkiye'de kuduzla mücadele, yaşanan zorluklar ve çıkarılan derslere ışık tutmayı amaçmalaktadır. Bu dönemde aşılama kampanyaları düzenlenmiş, hayvan popülasyonları kontrol altına alınmış ve toplumun bilinç düzeyi artırılmıştır. Ancak, kırsal bölgelerdeki erişim zorlukları ve yetersiz kaynaklar gibi zorluklarla karşılaşılmıştır. Bu zorluklara rağmen, kuduzla mücadelede elde edilen deneyimler, daha etkili stratejilerin belirlenmesi ve uygulanması için önemli bir temel oluşturmuştur. Gelecekte, kuduzla mücadelede karşılaşılan zorlukların üstesinden gelmek için daha fazla çaba harcanması ve kaynakların daha etkin bir şekilde kullanılması gerekmektedir. Bu şekilde, kuduzun kontrol altına alınması ve toplumun genel sağlığının korunması sağlanabilir.

Decision-making in complex environments: a study of women entrepreneurs in Pakistan
(2023-12) Younus, Iqra
This thesis examines Pakistani women's entrepreneurial experiences, emphasizing on their unique challenges and decision-making processes. It explores the context of Pakistan's complex sociocultural, political, and economic environment and how these factors interact closely to shape their entrepreneurial journeys. The main focus of this research is to study and analyze how these women navigate uncertainty and challenges while making business decisions. A purposive sampling technique and a qualitative methodology is employed in this study - basing the research on the actual experiences of 36 Pakistani women entrepreneurs. It demonstrates how they deal with and adjust to difficulties brought on by the economic challenges of the country, such as market volatility and currency instability. The study also emphasizes the significance of socio-cultural norms, particularly those pertaining to gender roles, which both impede and motivate them. The research reveals that despite these challenges, Pakistani women entrepreneurs display determination and adaptability. They balance external guidance and their own judgment strategically, making decisions using a combination of intuition, heuristics, and rational analysis. It also highlights the importance of elements like personal and family values, emotional intelligence, and faith in business decisions. These women frequently establish firms from home, reflecting cultural constraints and their strategic response to obstacles.

Voicing mathematics teachers: a holistic overview of their early career challenges
(Edam, 2018) Keskin, Özge; Çorlu, M. S.; Ayas, Alipaşa
Teachers’ further success in and commitment to their profession are shaped by their experiences in the early years of their careers. Being aware of the challenges that novices face would be helpful for teacher-educators in a way that would support pre-service teachers thoroughly. The goal of the current research is to ascertain the perceptions of secondary-school mathematics teachers about the challenging experiences at the beginning of their careers. With this purpose, semi-structured interviews were conducted. Findings revealed several issues that teachers face in four dimensions: mathematical knowledge for teaching, classroom management and organization, assessment of students’ learning, and the context of teaching. Also, teachers’ prior beliefs and expectations showed a general lack of awareness, oversimplified beliefs, and unrealistic optimism about the teaching profession. The findings of this study have shown a deficiency in teacher-education programs in terms of not providing pre-service teachers with enough knowledge of the challenges they may encounter, naturally resulting in the inability to reflect on the various reasons for those challenges and how all four aspects of teaching interact with one another. Regarding the findings, teacher education policies should be refined to help pre-service teachers to develop a more realistic and holistic view of teaching mathematics.
