Chinese Teachers' Perceptions of School Family Collaboration: A Study of Elementary Schools in Zhejiang Province.

The purpose of this study is to investigate Chinese teachers’ perceptions on school and family collaboration. This is a descriptive study with mainly a quantitative approach to solicit the perceptions of seventy-five Chinese teachers toward collaborative effort between the school and the family. The findings of this study clearly indicated that Chinese teachers understood the importance of parental involvement to student success and that they planned to work with parents to foster a positive environment in support of school and family collaboration. It is recommended that a school-initiated comprehensive school and family collaboration plan be developed to accomplish higher efficiency and effectiveness. INTRODUCTION Research has clearly indicated that student achievement could improve with increased collaboration between parents and school (Brough & Irvin, 2001; Fan, 2001; Fan & Chen, 2001). In this collaborative relationship, teachers are always in the frontline in contact with the parents. Therefore, it is important that teachers bear a positive attitude, initiation and willingness toward building a strong tie between families and school. In China, it has been a cultural tradition that teachers work closely with parents for the continuous growth of the children. This study will examine the Chinese teachers’ perceptions toward their efficacy, willingness, administrative support, student family background, parent association, barriers to and planning for school family collaboration. REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE Families played an important role in promoting the academic success of their children (Swap, 1993). Parents saw that school sponsored community activities provided an inviting education involvement environment (Sanders, Epstein, Connors, & Tadros, 1999; Overstreet, Devine, Bevans & Efreom, 2005). Teachers must keep in mind that parents, regardless of their income levels or ethnic background, value education of their children (Lareau, 1990). Poor parental involvement could become a barrier to educating children in school (Voltz, 1998). Epstein (1990) declared that school policies and teacher practices could determine whether parents would participate in their children’s education. In response, many states in the United States have implemented policies to involve parents in early literacy education, school safety and dropout prevention programs (Zinth, 2005). Six types of parental involvement can be identified (Epstein, 2002): (1) parenting knowledge and skills; (2) communicating between home and school; (3) volunteering at school and in the community;(4) supporting student learning at home; (5) involvement in decision making and advocacy; (6) collaborating with the community.

Measuring player development outputs in European football clubs (2005-2006 to 2015-2016)

Purpose The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) legislative intervention around “home-grown” player quotas came into effect for the 2006-2007 season, aiming to protect playing opportunities and the development of indigenous talent. Previous research has identified clear differences between clubs and club types regarding opportunities for academy players. This paper aims to examine the outputs from six European leagues (France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Spain and England), identifying differences between national associations, club type, and on an individual club level. The paper investigates different league structure (in terms of allowing reserve teams in the professional leagues) and assesses UEFAs legislation in relation to programme theory (expected outcomes). Design/methodology/approach The study is based on playing data from 200 clubs and 3,329 indigenous players making their debut in one of the six leagues since 2006, and includes ten seasons of competition to 2015-2016. Findings The number of players produced and playing opportunities offered since 2006 are more prominent in the Spanish, The Netherlands, French and German leagues compared to Italy and England. For those clubs competing in all ten seasons, a similar pattern emerges with those four nations producing greater outputs. Four clubs significantly outperform others in terms of producing players reaching any top-six league first team, and for their own academy graduates. Additionally, the four leagues allowing reserve teams in their professional structure have a higher level of “output” for their academy players. Originality/value The paper discusses issues in the design of the legislation (not making nationality a factor and being unable to control other dominant variables) as key weaknesses to influencing change, and achieve the rationale cited by UEFA for its introduction.
Workplace based assessment by Direct Observation of procedural skills for postgraduate students in Obstetrics and Gynaecology

Introduction: Structured workplace based assessment in PG curriculum is the need of the hour. This project addresses the same. This study was conducted to assess procedural skill of postgraduate students by using a novel tool-Direct Observation of Procedural skills (DOPS) and impact on learning by reassessment. Methodology: Seven second year postgraduate students and eight faculty members participated in the study. First DOPS cycle was conducted over 6 weeks for 5 basic procedures in Obstetrics and Gynecology (OBGY). The checklists of procedures were shared. Second DOPS cycle was conducted by same faculty. At the end, feedback about the entire process was collected and analyzed. Results: All the students showed improvement in DOPS scores during second session. The component task wise score analysis showed statistically significant improvement in following areas such as maintenance of asepsis, pre procedure preparations, demonstration of anatomy and indications, communication with patient, post procedure management and overall tissue handling. This was evident when ‘paired t test’ was applied to the data. Analysis of feedback showed acceptability, feasibility and relevance of DOPS in OBGY. Conclusion: We found that DOPS is highly acceptable assessment tool by both the postgraduate students and faculty. It helped students to identify gaps in learning and achieve improvement in skills.
From selves to systems: on the intrapersonal and intraneural dynamics of decision making*

ABSTRACT New trends in behavioral decision research see researchers attempting to integrate multiple-self models of behavioral economics with dual-process and dual-system theories of cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience. Psychologically sophisticated multiple-agent models have grown in popularity given their purported ability to predict and explain reasoning errors and decision anomalies. In this paper, I analyze how multiple-agent models conceive of and employ ‘selves’ and ‘systems’ for the purposes of representing intrapersonal and intraneural conflict. The paper is structured according to three claims. The first and second claims establish that multiple-agent models are conceptually as well as ontologically ambiguous. The third claim argues that such ambiguities can lead to problems in scientific understanding.
The Perceptions of Principals on their Leadership Role in Pre-primary

The incorporation of pre-primary centres into Western Australian government primary schools has shifted the responsibility for leadership from the kindergarten director to the primary school principal. Concerns have been raised that principals who are responsible for appraisal of pre-primary teachers are providing inadequate educational leadership to these teachers because of their lack of theoretical and practical background in early childhood. They have not been provided with professional development to adequately support them in this role. However, to date, it seems that principals have not been asked for their views about their capacities concerning the pre-primary sector. For these reasons this study investigated the question: How do primary school principals perceive they fulfil their administrative, managerial and educational roles in respect to pre-primary centres? The majority of principals in the district surveyed indicated that they considered administration/management to be their most important role in relation to pre-primary education. A greater number of principals indicated inadequate performance in dealing with educational issues. The majority of principals said the system should require pre-primary training for principals, provide each school with materials that outline developmentally appropriate practices; and provide early childhood professional development courses for principals.
Why stigmatized adolescents bully more: the role of self-esteem and academic-status insecurity

ABSTRACT Previous research finds that low achievers and students from lower socioeconomic status backgrounds are more likely to bully peers, but fails to satisfactorily explain why. This paper tests the hypothesis that feelings of insecurity mediate the relationship between family background and low achievement, as predictors, and self-perception of being a bully, as the outcome. It operationalizes feelings of insecurity as self-esteem and academic-status insecurity. Using a large and diverse dataset of survey responses from secondary school males in the U.S. (N = 7,291, 45% White, 30% Black, 25% Latino from 6th-12th grade), the paper applies multi-level mediation analyses to test the hypothesis separately for Blacks, Whites, and Latinos. For all three groups, the insecurity measures account for virtually all of the relationship between a grade point average and self-perception of being a bully, and about a third of the relationship between family background and the same bullying measure. Implications are discussed.
When performance gets personal: Towards a theory of performance-based identity

For better or worse, contemporary society places immense value on achievement and performance. What are the consequences of this emphasis on (if not obsession with) performance for people’s sense of self, and relatedly, their mental health and well-being? We develop a theoretical lens for exploring such questions by introducing the concept of performance-based identity—a form of identity that we propose arises when performance (at work or in another setting) becomes personally meaningful to the extent that it acts as a basis for self-definition. We argue that many individuals are likely to develop performance-based identities in a world where performance is increasingly emphasized as important, and where other identities (e.g. those derived from particular groups, organizations, and cultures) are being destabilized by fundamental shifts in the nature of work and society. We explain the similarities and differences between performance-based identity and related constructs, present a theoretical account of how people construct performance-based identities, and discuss how acknowledging and studying performance-based identities could yield valuable new insights into how people experience their work and life in general.
THE RELATIONSHIP OF DISCIPLINE AND EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE WITH THE EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE

Background: One of the several problems that can occur in an organization or company is the poor performance of the employees; for instance, they do not complete the task or finish their job responsibilities on time. The observation results on the preliminary data of the employees of PT. X showed that 184 employees did not come to work without any explanations, and 288 employees arrived to work late. Aim: Thus, this study aims to analyze the relationships of discipline and emotional intelligence with the employees’ performance at PT. X. Method : The design of this research is an analytical study using a cross sectional approach. The population of this study is the production and maintenance section comprising of 155 people. Out of that number of employees, 89 respondents were taken as the samples using stratified random sampling technique. Then, the data were collected using a questionnaire which was analyzed using Spearman’s rank correlation statistical test with a significance level of α 0.05. Results : The results of this study showed that almost of the employees are very highly discipline (94.4%), from the emotional intelligence, most of them have a highly emotional intelligence (74.2%), and lastly, the performance of most the employees satisfying (50.6%). The result of the analysis test with Spearman’s rank correlation yielded p-value of 0,002 <α 0,05. Therefore, there is a correlation between discipline attitude and the employee’s performance. The use of p-value 0.001 <α 0.05 shows that there is a correlation between emotional intelligence and the employee’s performance. Conclusion: In order to improve the discipline and intelligence in the performance of the employees, the company should provide rewards in accordance to the achievements of its employees in the workplace. Key words: Emotional intelligence, Employee performance, Work discipline.
The Relationship of MMPI-A Item Effectiveness to Item Content, Diagnostic Category, and Classification Accuracy

THE RELATIONSHIP OF MMPI-A ITEM EFFECTIVENESS TO ITEM CONTENT, DIAGNOSTIC CATEGORY, AND CLASSIFICATION ACCURACY Kathleen D. Lynch Old Dominion University, 2000 Director: Robert P. Archer, Ph.D. Archer, Handel, and Lynch (2001) recently compared the item endorsement ! frequencies for the MMPI-A normative sample against two adolescent clinical samples. Results showed that the MMPI-A contains a substantial number o f items that do not show | I a significant difference in item endorsement frequency between normative and clinical I I samples. The current study extends Archer et al.’s (2001) research in three ways: 1) it | examines the item endorsement frequencies o f the Supplementary scales, Harris Lingoes subscales, and subtle-obvious items; 2) it examines the Basic, Content, and Supplementary scales, and Harris Lingoes subscales with two homogeneous diagnostic criterion groups (as suggested by Archer, Handel, and Lynch); and finally 3) it re­ examines and recalculates Basic scale data using only those items that were shown by I | Archer, Handel, and Lynch (2001) to effectively discriminate between the normative and clinical populations. The mean profiles of the normative and clinical groups were contrasted based on these “revised” Basic scales using a newly acquired independent clinical sample to evaluate the extent to which profile sensitivity and specificity is affected by these scale modifications. Results demonstrated that examining the Supplementary scales and Harris-Lingoes subscales, or subtle-obvious items, or when extended to homogeneous criterion groups led to no improvement in item effectiveness from the results o f Archer and his colleagues’ study.

Antecedents and Consequences of Food Quality in Egyptian Healthcare

This research examined food production/service quality mediating effect in the relationship between the innovative human resource management practices (IHRMPs) and patient satisfaction in Egyptian healthcare. Case study strategy applied in two Egyptian hospitals. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was used. A convenient sample included 252 hospital patients and 108 kitchen staff was selected. Findings indicated a strong positive IHRMP effects on patient satisfaction. According to SEM analysis, food service quality factor was fully mediated the direct relationship between IHRMPs and the patient satisfaction. While food production quality factor was not mediated the relationship between IHRMPs and patient satisfaction. The article identifies opportunities to use comprehensive IHRMPs effectively and to develop other food quality indicators that may affect patient satisfaction. This article is among the few studies offering a framework to identify service quality mediation effect in the relationship between IHRMPs and patient satisfaction in Egyptian healthcare. This framework is based on social exchange theory in which quality knowledge perceptions in hospitals could come from IHRMPs, which consequently promotes patient satisfaction.
Improved YOLOv5 Detection Algorithm of Contraband in X-ray Security Inspection Image

Personnel security is particularly important for public places where security screening is required, such as airports, railway stations and subway stations. To assist their security staff in fast security screening, a YOLOv5 network model incorporating Stem module, CGhost module and Mixup data enhancement method improvement is proposed for the features such as cluttered item placement, contraband obscuration and intentional concealment in X-ray security screening images. The Stem module is introduced in the backbone of the model to replace the first layer in the YOLOv5 network to enrich the features and improve the feature expression capability of the network. The CGhost module with stronger feature expression is designed to suppress the influence of redundant features on the network and enhance the network's ability to acquire multi-scale contraband features. At the input side, the Mixup data enhancement method is used to strengthen the network's ability to learn from obscured and hidden contraband learning capability, thus enhancing the recognition capability of the network. Tests were conducted in the Easy, Hard, and Hidden test sets in the PIDray dataset, and the mAP reached 88.2%, 89.2%, and 70.5%, respectively. The experimental results show that the improved YOLOv5 reduced the number of parameters of the model by about 20% and improved the detection accuracy by 2.5%, 1.2%, and 5.0% in the three test sets of contraband identification, respectively.
Do Reconstructive and Attributive Quotes in News Narratives Influence Engagement, Credibility and Realism?

ABSTRACT Current trends of declining newspaper circulation on the one hand and the public distrust in the news media on the other stress the need for journalistic texts that the audience finds to be both engaging and credible. This study therefore tests the effects of two quotation types—(1) reconstructive quotes presenting what was said and thought by news actors during the news events, and (2) attributive quotes attributing information to news sources after the events took place—on readers’ engagement with and perceived credibility and realism of news narratives. In an experiment (N = 123), participants read a crime news narrative that included either only reconstructive quotes, only attributive quotes, both reconstructive and attributive quotes, or no quotes at all. Results indicated no differences between the four story versions in levels of engagement, perceived credibility and perceived realism. These findings challenge results from previous research as well as textbook recommendations, suggesting that readers’ experience and critical evaluation of news narratives are not necessarily influenced by quotations.
