Attitudes of Teacher Candidates Studying at Technical Education on Ability to Take the Role of a Teacher.

In this research, attitudes of teacher candidates (N = 583) studying at the Faculty of Technical Education on ability to take general roles of teachers are analyzed with respect to class, gender, educational level of parents, reason to do major at the university, feeling themselves appropriate to the major, seeing themselves adequate, and desire to change the major. In the research, where 5 point likert scale was used, it is designated that at the level that teacher candidates can “absolutely” take general teaching roles, especially in “communication skills” group, they have (M = 4,35). It has been observed that this situation does not show any difference in class 1 and 2 as well as in 3 and 4. The attitudes of candidates in class 3 and 4 in taking general roles of teachers change with respect to department and gender.
Analytical Solutions of Time Periodic Electroosmotic Flow in a Semicircular Microchannel

The time periodic electroosmotic flow of Newtonian fluids through a semicircular microchannel is studied under the Debye–Hückel approximation. Analytical series of solutions are found, and they consist of a time-dependent oscillating part and a time-dependent generating or transient part. Some new physical phenomena are found. The electroosmotic flow driven by an alternating electric field is not periodic in time, but quasi-periodic. There is a phase shift between voltage and flow, which is only dependent on the frequency of external electric field.
TEACHING WRITING OF ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY USING COLLABORATIVE WRITING TECHNIQUE VIEWED FROM STUDENTS' CREATIVITY: AN EXPERIMENTAL

The use of small group and pair work in classrooms, particularly in second language (L2) classrooms, rests on strong theoretical and pedagogical bases. This research was aimed at finding out: (1) whether or not Collaborative Writing Technique is more effective than Direct Instruction in teaching writing of argumentative essay; (2) whether the students who have high creativity have better writing ability than those who have low creativity; and (3) whether there is an interaction between teaching techniques and creativity in teaching writing. This experimental research was carried out in IKIP PGRI Bojonegoro in the academic year of 2014/2015 from March 2015 to June 2015. The population was the fourth semester students of English Education Department in the academic year of 2014/2015, and the number of population was 126 students who were divided into three classes. The samples, which were selected by using cluster random sampling, were IIB as the experimental group and IIA as the control group. Each group consists of 42 students. The experimental group was treated by using Collaborative Writing Technique, while the control group was treated by using Direct Instruction. The data analysis shows the following findings: (1) Collaborative Writing Technique is more effective than Direct Instruction in teaching writing; (2) students with high creativity have better writing ability than those having low creativity; and (3) there is an interaction between teaching techniques and creativity in teaching writing.
Finance and economic growth nexus: Complementarity and substitutability between the banking sector and financial markets in Africa, using South Africa as a case1

The paper empirically examines the dynamic relationship between financial development and economic growth in South Africa in terms of financial intermediaries and financial markets based structure. A time series analysis using the VAR Model provided evidence for the dynamic relationship. The paper provides empirical evidence on the causal impact of the financial market on economic growth in South African. The results suggest that financial intermediaries and financial markets have different impacts on economic growth given their different roles in the economy. In particular, there is bidirectional causality between stock market and economic growth. Also, a unidirectional causality from the bond market to economic growth was established. However, as for financial intermediaries, causality runs from economic growth to financial intermediaries. This suggests the importance of the financial market in economic development in South Africa. Key words: Financial markets, financial intermediaries, economic growth, vector auto-regression, Granger causality.
Longitudinal investigation of the relationship between bullying and psychosocial adjustment

The aim of the present study was to test the direction of effects in the relationship between bullying, victimization, adjustment difficulties, and school achievement. The participants were 238 fifth and sixth-grade children (mean age 11.4 years) and their teachers in a six-month two-timepoint longitudinal study. The results of this study showed that bullying and victimization at Time 1 were related to an increase of adjustment problems and a decrease of school achievement at Time 2. Conversely, adjustment problems at Time 1 were related to an increase in bullying and victimization at Time 2. School achievement at Time 1, however, was not related to bullying and victimization at Time 2. The results of this study provide evidence towards a reciprocal relationship between bullying, victimization, and adjustment difficulties.
Freshman Attrition in a College of Applied Arts and Technology of Ontario

This study, conceptualized using a "person-environment fit" model of dropout, examined differentiated freshman attrition and persistence in a College of Applied Arts and Technology of Ontario. Also examined were the magnitude and timing of dropout as well as the ability of the model to explain and predict freshman attrition/persistence vs academic success/failure. The relative importance of student and institutional characteristics in the withdrawal process was also assessed. Results showed that thirty percent of thefreshman cohort dropped out in the first year, with approximately half doing so in the first semester. Those variables which measured the nature of the student-institution interaction accounted for a greater amount of the variance in persistence/withdrawal than did the background and entry-level characteristics of the students alone. This confirms the validity of the "fit" model of dropout and suggests that college administrators could significantly reduce freshman attrition by carefully manag- ing the college learning environment. Consistent with U.S. studies comparing factors influencing dropout in commuter and residential institutions, this study found academic integration and educational commitment to be of greater importance to persistence than social integration and institutional commitment. A student's intention to leave the college at mid-semester and his/her confidence in success were also found to be important determinants offreshman attrition.
The Relationship between leadership styles of coaches with motivational climate of Iranian Elite Male Volleyball Players

The main objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between leadership styles of coaches with motivational climate of Iranian elite male Volleyball players. It was survey research and field study. Statistical population was all players in men's volleyball league in Iran. According to the Morgan sampling table, 150 samples were investigated. To collect information, we applied motivational climate Questionnaire (PMCSQ) and leadership styles in sports (LSS). The data analysis methods were descriptive statistics, and multivariate regression was used to investigate the relationship between variables. Results showed that there was a significant relationship between the leadership styles of coaches and motivational climate (p<0.05) There was a significant relationship between the authoritative style of leadership styles with positive feedback and motivational climate. Overall, a leadership style of coaches is most important predictive factor of the motivational climate.
The role of probabilistic enhancement in phonologization

phonologization – the process by which intrinsic phonetic variation gives rise to extrinsic phonological encoding – is often invoked to explain the acquisition and transmission of sound patterns (Jakobson 1931; Hyman 1976; Ohala 1981; Blevins 2004). A familiar example is the idea that lexical tone contrasts can trace their origins to the pitch perturbations conditioned by differences in obstruent voicing (Matisoff 1973; Hombert et al. 1979). A phonologization account of tonogenesis is sketched in Table 1. First, intrinsic differences in vowel F0 (Stage I) become a perceptual cue to the identity of the initial consonant (Stage II). If other cues to the contrast between initial consonants are lost, the contrast may be maintained solely by differences in F0 (Stage III), setting the stage for a reanalysis of pitch as a contrastive phonological feature. This process can be observed in vivo in Seoul Korean, a language which maintains a 3-way phonological contrast between initial stops (Table 2). While studies of Korean stop acoustics conducted during the 1960s and 1970s found this contrast to be signaled primarily by differences in voice onset time (VOT: Lisker and Abramson 1964; Kim 1965; ∗To appear in A.

Consumer Attitudes, Nutrition Knowledge, and Use Of Nutrition Information On The Labels Of Packaged Drinks Among Adolescents In Surakarta, Indonesia

Health problem have been increasing as a result of unhealthy food consumption pattern. The increasing preference for sweet taste, advanced technology and reasonably cheap prices of packaged drinks are the contributing factors for this increased consumption. More than half of Indonesian people consume ready-to-drink beverages in package. Consumers may not be able to assess the nutritional quality of food and drink directly. Therefore, it is important for manufacturers to inform the nutritional quality of their products through an article. Nutritional values on the label information are believed to help consumers choose the right products according to their need. This research studied the behavior of adolescents in Surakarta when consuming beverages other than bottled water, milk and herbs, as well as the frequency of consumption, respondents’ behavior, nutritional knowledge related to ready-to-drink beverages, as well as the use of nutritional value information to select their drinks based on gender and frequency of consumption. The result showed that youths in Surakarta had become consumers of packaged beverages. Most of them consumed irregularly. Only 2 of 169 respondents had good knowledge and unfortunately, for the quality of nutrition, youths in Surakarta did not pay much attention to the provided nutrition information. Light users paid more attention to ingredients and nutrition information better than the other groups, and female respondents cared more on the nutrition information than male.
Screening of the antifungal activity of plant Mentha longifolia crude extracts against two fungi Alternaria citri and Fusarium moniliforme

This research focuses on the antifungal activity of different concentrations of ethanol, methanol and acetone crude extracts derived from plant Mentha longifolia against Fusarium moniliforme, and Alternaria citri. All extracts revealed obvious inhibitory activity against both fungi. But it varied based on plant part used as starting material, different concentrations of extracts and type of solvent. MIC of different extracts ranged from 0.002-0.04 g/ml. It was found that at 0.01 g/ml and at 0.002 g/ml of acetone extract of M. longifolia flowers, both fungi, Fusarium moniliforme, and Alternaria citri. Thus acetone extract of M. longifolia flowers was the most effective as compared to ethanol and methanol extracts of M. longifolia parts used as starting materials.
The Flight and Migration Ecology of the Red Milkweed Beetle (Tetraopes Tetraophthalmus)

Laboratory experiments showed that female Tetraopes beetles possess greater flight capacity than males and that flight capacity is positively correlated with size. Take-off tendency, however, is higher in males and is negatively correlated with size. Both flight capacity and take-off tendency decline with age. Flight capacity is diminished markedly by starving for 48 h, and, in females, was not found to be influenced by oogenesis. The laboratory findings are consistent with field data showing that males move more often within patches (mate-searching flights) while females move more between patches (migration flights). The data suggest that the flight and migration ecology of short- flying sedentary species, like Tetraopes, may differ markedly from that of long-flying fugitive species.
Regulated and non-regulated companies, technology adoption in experimental markets for emission permits, and options contracts

This paper examines the investment strategies of regulated companies in abatement technologies, market participants' trading behaviors, and the liquidity level in an inter-temporal cap{and{trade market using laboratory experiments. The experimental analysis is performed under varying market structures: the exclusive presence of regulated companies; the inclusion of subjects not liable for compliance with environmental regulations; the availability of plain vanilla options. In line with theoretical models on irreversible abatement investment, the first experiment shows that regulated companies trade permits at a premium. At the same time the existence of a strict enforcement structure effectively prompts investments in new technologies. The second experiment shows that the presence of non-regulated companies adds liquidity to the market and does not increase price volatility. The last experiment enables us to investigate the impact of the presence of cash-settled options contracts on the trading strategies of regulated companies. Their expected emissions appears to play a signifcant role in the choice of their options strategy.
Three pyridinium alkaloids may account for the antibiotic effect of the seed of Abrus precatorius

A methanol extract of Abrus precatorius seed cotyle dons has been found to exhibit growth inhibitory activity against both Staphylococcus aur eus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli). This activity was traceable to three pyridinium com ponents viz: - trigonelline, precatorine and a sugar ester of trigonelline. These alkaloids may co ntribute to the use of the seed extracts in folk medicines for the treatment of infective disorders.
IDENTIFICATION OF DISCRETE CHOICE DYNAMIC PROGRAMMING MODELS WITH NONPARAMETRIC DISTRIBUTION OF UNOBSERVABLES

This paper presents semiparametric identification results for the Rust (1994) class of discrete choice dynamic programming (DCDP) models. We develop sufficient conditions for identification of the deep structural parameters for the case where the per-period utility function ascribed to one choice in the model is parametric but the distribution of unobserved state variables is nonparametric. The proposed identification strategy does not rely on availability of the terminal period data and can therefore be applied to infinite horizon structural dynamic models. Identifying power comes from assuming that the agent’s per-period utilities admit continuous choice-specific state variables that are observed with sufficient variation and satisfy certain conditional independence assumptions on the joint time series of observables. These conditions allow us to formulate exclusion restrictions for identifying the primitive structural functions of the model.
Examining Human Capital and Job Design: Mediating through Management Expertise to Achieve Sustainable Competitive Advantage

The purpose of this research paper is to examine the role of human resource relative to their specific role in organizational job design at managerial and operational levels for achieving sustainable competitive advantage. Variable taken in this study included human capital and job design as independent and sustainable competitive advantage as dependent variable while management expertise was taken as intervening variable. The data gathering instrument used for the research was questionnaire and interviews. For conducting the present study an empirical research on 100 respondents of banking sector were considered. Regression technique was used to analyze research problem and for conducting data analysis. The findings of the study showed that human resource capabilities contribute positively related with organizational performance. Research also revealed that it totally depends on the managerial expertise rather than individual capabilities towards achievement of organizational competitive advantage. Furthermore, management expertise was found to be a significant predictor for achieving sustainable competitive advantage. Organizational management plays an important role to achieve higher performance from their employees by strategically deploying them according to their skills, interests and passion.
Phonon Resonators as a Hand-Made Nanocomposite for Rulling Out of Electron-Phonon Interaction

The only mode of high-frequency phonon oscillations that can be obtained in metallic devices made with the use of conventional manufactoring processes is that of travelling wave. Under these conditions any perturbation at a point within the crystal lattice will travel with dissipation in all directions from that point and never come back. In a travelling wave mode phonon oscillation fields are random. Hence, the interaction between conduction electrons and the oscillations of the crystal lattice of an electrical conductor has a viscous nature. We propose to replace the travelling wave mode with the standing resonant wave mode for frequencies from 0.1 to 1 THz and higher. The properties of polycrystalline materials substantially depend on their crystallite size [1]. With decreasing of the crystallite size the number of constituent atoms decreases proportionally to a cube of the linear size. With decreasing of atoms number in the crystallite the number of oscillation modes of a crystal lattice also decreases. Nanocrystallite with the size of 2-3 nanometers consists of N~102 atoms. The full number of oscillation modes in the lattice of such nanocrystallite is 3N. At such small number the oscillation modes are isolated each from other and do not interact with each other. In that case the oscillation spectrum of separate nanocrystallite is completely harmonic. The composite material consisting from such nanocrystallites will possess the unique properties. For example, such composite will not be subjected to thermal expansion (due to absence of the unharmonicity), the plasticity and the strength of such alloy will sharply increase as high as 8-10 times, the melting point decreases as compared with the microcrystalline composite.

A TRANSLATIONAL EVALUATION OF THE INTERPOLATED REINFORCEMENT PROCEDURE WITH YOUNG CHILDREN

The interpolated reinforcement procedure (IRP) involves the deliberate continuous reinforcement of a previously intermittently reinforced behavior prior to implementing extinction. Basic research on the IRP has produced equivocal findings, and applied research has suffered from methodological limitations. The present study was an evaluation of the IRP with typically developing young children and a nonclinical target behavior. The IRP was demonstrated in only two of five participants. The results are discussed in the context of the IRP's clinical utility given the unreliability of the finding. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
The Biological Effects of Weak Electromagnetic Fields Problems and Solutions, Part 1

Many of the reported biological effects of non‐ionising electromagnetic fields occur at levels too low to cause significant heating; i.e. they are non thermal. Most of them can be accounted for by electrical effects on living cells and, in particular, their membranes. The alternating fields generate alternating electric currents that flow through cells and tissues. This removes structurally‐important calcium ions from cell membranes, which then makes them leak. Electromagnetically treated water (as generated by electronic water conditioners used to remove lime scale from plumbing) has similar effects, implying that the effects of the fields can also be carried in the bloodstream. Virtually all of the non‐thermal effects of electromagnetic radiation can be accounted for by the leakage of cell membranes. Most of them involve the inward leakage of free calcium ions down an enormous electrochemical gradient to affect calcium‐sensitive enzyme systems. This is the normal mechanism by which cells sense mechanical membrane damage. They normally respond by triggering mechanisms that stimulate growth and repair, including the MAP‐kinase cascades, which amplify the signal. If the damage is not too severe or prolonged, we see a stimulation of growth and the effect seems beneficial, but if the exposure is prolonged, these mechanisms are overcome and the result is ultimately harmful. This phenomenon occurs with both ionising and non‐ionising radiation and is called radiation hormesis. Gland cells are a good example of this, since short term exposures stimulate their activity but long term exposures cause visible damage and a loss of function. Damage to the thyroid gland from living within 100 metres of a cell phone base station caused hypothyroidism and may be partially responsible for our current outbreak of obesity and chronic fatigue. Secondary effects of obesity include diabetes, gangrene, cardiac problems, renal failure and cancer. Cell phone base station radiation also affects the adrenal glands and stimulates the production of adrenalin and cortisol. Excess adrenalin causes headaches, cardiac arrhythmia, high blood pressure, tremors and an inability to sleep, all of which have been reported by people living close to base stations. The production of cortisol weakens the immune system and could make people living near base stations more susceptible to disease and cancer. Inward calcium leakage in the neurons of the brain stimulates hyperactivity and makes it less able to concentrate on tasks, resulting in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). When this happens in the brains of unborn babies and young children, it reduces their ability to concentrate on learning social skills and can cause autism. Leakage of the cells of the peripheral nervous system in adults makes them send false signals to the brain, which results in the symptoms of electromagnetic intolerance (aka electromagnetic
Symmetric Wilson Loops beyond leading order

We study the circular Wilson loop in the symmetric representation of U(N) in $\mathcal{N} = 4$ super-Yang-Mills (SYM). In the large N limit, we computed the exponentially-suppressed corrections for strong coupling, which suggests non-perturbative physics in the dual holographic theory. We also computed the next-to-leading order term in 1/N, and the result matches with the exact result from the k-fundamental representation.
