This study aims to examine teachers’ reflective thinking skills in the face of Generation Z. A phenomenology design was used in the study, which was designed was used in the study designed according to the qualitative model. Semi-structured interview questions were asked to the study group of 22 teachers working in Istanbul. The thematic structure determination form developed within the scope of the research was used as a data collection tool, and the data obtained were subjected to content analysis in the MAXQDA 2022 program. The findings revealed that Generation Z forces teachers to exhibit reflective thinking skills in the classroom and in the teaching-learning process. It is possible to say that the new generation is a driving force for teachers to develop this skill. This situation is thought to be due to “the characteristics of the generation individuals” and “the theoretical education received at the university is weak on teachers’ reflective thinking skills in practice”. The study’s results support the view that today’s teachers are students of the new generation. At the end of the research, some suggestions were made.","PeriodicalId":422780,"journal":{"name":"OPUS Journal of Society Research","volume":"8 46","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140352862","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the existing literature has inconsistencies regarding criminal behavior due to the division of executive functions into three constructs: inhibition, monitoring, and task shifting. Therefore, the main aim of this study is to assess the effect of executive functions on criminal behavior and the second aim is to examine the impact of executive functions on different crime types. The research is based on a meta-analysis of 17 studies which were selected upon the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The meta-analysis involved calculating individual effect sizes for each study and then the overall effect size was calculated by using the random effects model. Then subgroup analyses were conducted to evaluate the differences due to crime types and psychological assessment tools. The results revealed that offenders made more errors in tasks involving executive functions than non-offenders and the findings were consistent with the literature. Additionally, no publication bias was found in the study. It is expected that this study will lay the groundwork for future studies.The research is based on a meta-analysis of 17 studies which were selected upon the inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Drawing on theoretical frameworks from James C. Scott and Pierre Bourdieu, the study explores Iranian rap as a medium for 'hidden transcripts'—a subtle form of resistance against oppressive structures. Through qualitative analysis, including participant observation and in-depth interviews with Iranian rap listeners, the research uncovers the genre's emotional impact and its implications for individual and collective identity, cultural continuity, and political resistance. The findings reveal that Iranian rap music resonates deeply with Iranian youth, providing empowerment, solidarity, and a sense of community. It articulates a narrative of resistance, reflecting the complex interplay between fear and courage, nostalgia and loss, hope and aspiration. The music becomes a vehicle for expressing not only immediate frustrations but also broader societal aspirations. This paper contributes to the discourse on music as a form of cultural resistance, highlighting Iranian rap's role in shaping cultural identity and agency. It underscores the genre's significance in navigating life under a repressive regime and offers insights into how art can reflect and influence a society's socio-political dynamics. The study affirms the transformative potential of music, suggesting that creative expressions of resistance can foster hope and inspire collective action towards a more open and just society.The findings reveal that Persian rap music resonates deeply with Iranian youth, providing empowerment, solidarity, and a sense of community.

The main focuses of the study are the channels and locations of substance access, the process leading from substance use to procurement, communication with sellers, and applied privacy strategies. This research is designed according to qualitative research methods. During data collection, a semi-structured interview form was preferred, and interviews were conducted with 10 substance users. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive analysis methods, and the results were interpreted. The findings are presented under four themes: \"Initiation of Substance Use, Methods of Accessing Substances and Privacy Strategies, Language and Trust Relationships in the Substance Acquisition Process, Locations for Substance Procurement, Risky Situations, and Social Consequences.\" According to the results of the study, it is highlighted that the process of starting substance use due to curiosity and experimentation, often influenced by social environment and friendships, turns into addiction, and individuals usually begin using substances between the ages of 14 and 18. The study finds that while experienced users resort to traditional neighborhood channels like street dealers, the new generation prefers social media platforms (such as Telegram, Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook) and certain games (like PUBG mobile, Minecraft) as covert channels. It has also been determined that the language and communication methods used in the process of procuring substances are developed using various names and jargons specific to different substances. On the other hand, the need to secure financial resources for continuous consumption and procurement during the transition from substance use to procurement often leads individuals to illegal actions such as theft, robbery, and violence, as well as to dangerous and risky behaviors.","PeriodicalId":422780,"journal":{"name":"OPUS Journal of Society Research","volume":"27 17","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139443410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, the characteristics of the individuals who committed suicide due to workplace mobbing and how they experienced this situation was examined through newspaper news on the internet. Case study, which is a qualitative research approach, was used as the research design. Descriptive content analysis was performed in order to analyse the data. The analyses were made after news about suicide incidents in Turkey were found on the internet by typing \"mobbing and suicide\". 12 of these suicide cases were associated with mobbing by researchers. These cases were examined in terms of variables such as gender, age, profession, type of suicide, suicide note, psychiatric treatment, mobbing claim and type of mobbing. As a result of the analysis, a relationship was found between mobbing and suicide. It has been determined that the majority of those who commit suicide due to mobbing are women and the age range where suicides occur most frequently is the 25-34 age range. It has been found that the majority of those who commit suicide are single. It has been claimed that the professional group in which suicides occur most frequently is doctors and the most common form of suicide is jumping from a height. It has been determined that some of those who committed suicide received psychiatric treatment. It has been observed that almost half of those who committed suicide left a suicide note.

Immediately following the disaster, to recover from the effects of the earthquake and alleviate its negative impacts, social workers flocked to the region and implemented many social service practices. Social work practices are of critical importance in terms of accelerating the healing processes for the people of the region. In the study, the activities of social workers were evaluated using a case study approach. The aim is to reveal the effectiveness of social work practices from the perspective of social workers working in the earthquake response. Such an approach both supports and guides policy makers and decision makers in establishing new living conditions in the region and reveals the issues that need to be taken into account for future activities. Within the scope of the research, interviews with 30 social workers were analyzed. The results demonstrated that social work practices are extremely important in eliminating social damage in the post-earthquake period; however, human resources should be developed and increased in terms of quality and quantity, and financial and physical resources should be provided for social work practices.","PeriodicalId":422780,"journal":{"name":"OPUS Journal of Society Research","volume":"43 19","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139011816","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This model aims to overcome traditional methods' time, cost and implementation difficulties and provide a more dynamic and efficient approach to service quality measurement. In addition, in this model, instead of the dimensions used in service quality measurements, such as SERVQUAL or SERVPERF, it is shown how to determine new categories and keywords specific to the service sector in which the model is used by text mining. Thus, it is aimed at something other than reaching more accurate results in service quality measurement. To achieve the model’s purpose, it aims to develop a service quality measurement model using social media data processed by text mining and sentiment analysis. To find an answer to this question, the keywords \"flood\", \"meter\", \"rain\", \"irrigation\", \"infrastructure\", \"sewerage\", \"sewage\", \"maintenance hole \", \"aski\", \"waterless\", \"water\" were extracted from 109.844 tweets sent to the Twitter account of a municipality between 2016 and 2022 by text mining method.
