“There is Nothing There.” Dmitrii Danilov’s Travel Writing and the Lure of the Russian Provinces
Authors: Boele Otto
Published: January 2022

Drawing on Michel de Certeau’s seminal study The Practice of Everyday Life, the author argues that Dmitrii Danilov’s travel writing (Twenty Cities, 2007-2009) reimagines Russia’s symbolic geography by destabilizing the traditional opposition centre – periphery. Rather than depicting the provincial world as either an absurd and horrid world, or as a repository of “true Russianness”, Danilov provides a “decentred” perspective on the provinces that asserts the uniqueness of each city he visits. The novel Description of a City (2012), however, resurrects the more traditional view of the provinces as a world of boredom and cultural lack. To analyse this development the article looks at the central figure of the sluggish traveller-narrator, the employment of “camera-eye narration” and other, mainly linguistic, devices that reaffirm the notion of the provincial city’s “namelessness” as one of its most defining characteristics.
La fonte nascosta: inventio e dissonanza tra Paulhan, Desnos e Hopper
Authors: Ferrari Silvia
Published: January 2022

L’articolo intende partire dal concetto di automatismo insito nel luogo comune, inteso nella sua accezione più ampia, per enucleare alcuni punti fondamentali della riflessione di Jean Paulhan, direttore della NRF negli anni centrali del Novecento, anche alla luce del contributo di Henri Meschonnic in relazione al proverbio in quanto atto linguistico caratterizzato da ri-enunciabilità. Le considerazioni sul ritmo che ne conseguono, già sfruttate dalle sperimentazioni linguistiche di Paulhan e da dadaisti e surrealisti, vanno nella direzione di riscoprire il côté intersoggettivo che, quale fonte nascosta alla base del luogo comune, permette anche di mettere in discussione e rivitalizzare i cliché stessi. Rielaborazione che funziona da specola nei confronti dei pregiudizi e degli automatismi nascosti nel linguaggio. Verranno così evidenziati i punti di contatto tra la fonte nascosta che sostanzia il luogo comune, il défigement operato da Robert Desnos e le tele di Edward Hopper.
Frammenti del corpo-voce: le poetesse improvvisatrici fra Sette e Ottocento
Authors: Bonfatti Rossella
Published: January 2022

Incandescenti e apodittici, i corpi delle improvvisatrici hanno rappresentato un fenomeno di spiccata intermedialità tra Sette e Ottocento, caricandosi di valori culturali estesi che sono stati valorizzati dalle recenti ricerche multidisciplinari. Ripensati come documenti viventi, come luoghi cioè di una performance che è messa in scena di sé nelle forme di un dialogo continuo con il pubblico, con la tradizione, con le convenzioni sociali, con i generi, quei corpi inviolati non hanno ancora smesso di parlare, di interrogarci nella loro atemporale eloquenza. Quest’intervento intende sondare alcuni aspetti del corpo-voce delle poetesse improvvisatrici attraverso fonti documentarie letterarie e iconografiche, partendo, in particolare, da alcuni celebri ritratti realizzati da Angelica Kauffmann per arrivare alla statuaria celebrativa e alla memoria trasmessa dalle cronache degli spettacoli, dalle recensioni, dagli egodocuments, al fine di mettere in luce la costruzione di un’identità pubblica dentro e fuori le scene.

Durs Grünbein. Un’idea di Dante 3D
Authors: Maletta Rosalba
Published: January 2022

Il saggio esamina alcuni contributi pubblicati dal poeta Durs Grünbein in occasione del settimo centenario della morte di Dante. Particolare attenzione viene dedicata alla terzina di Paradiso XXXIII, vv. 94-96 che impegna il poeta tedesco almeno dal 2009. In base alla terminologia impiegata da Grünbein per descrivere le sue trasposizioni dantesche in termini di rendering, il saggio indaga l’influenza del Sommo Fiorentino nella poetica dell’autore di Dresda alla luce dell’era globale-digitale per risalire alle fonti dell’ispirazione poetica, dove Grünbein rilegge Dante con Cartesio e Mandel’štàm.
October 1917: A Changing Landscape for Peasant Literature. The Role of the Journal Na postu
Authors: Discacciati Ornella
Published: January 2022

The article analyzes the role played by the journal "Na postu" in the marginalization of village literature. In the 1920s, the role played by this journal was more important than generally expected, because the editors were able to accelerate and in a certain way guide the government's choices in the cultural sphere. As a result, an entire strand of Russian cultural tradition was obliterated. The village literature writers were slandered and then physically o socially liquidated or replaced with authors ideologically conforming to the new collective farm literature.

Educators’ Perceptions on Refugee Students’ Identity Challenges Following Higher Education Through Virtual Learning
Authors: Sturgeon Delia Cassandra
Published: January 2022

Refugees experience specific challenges when transitioning into higher education influenced by socio-cultural issues (Kong et al., 2016). Moreover, online learning may impact identity formation leading to duelling identities (Brunton et al., 2019). As virtual learning prevails in higher education due to the globalisation of new technologies, academic needs and competition with international institutions (Olaniran & Agnello, 2008), marginalisation of socially excluded groups such as refugees may surface (Crea & Sparnon, 2017).The purpose of this study is to explore educators perspectives of challenges and opportunities refugee students’ face when following higher education via a virtual space that impedes these specific students identity and sense of belonging. This paper provides the concept based on Erickson’s psychosocial development theory to extend this area of investigation by assessing the impact of learning via online spaces on identity.Five educators working within higher education were interviewed using a qualitative phenomenological methodology to generate an in-depth, unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities observed by teaching refugee students’ and focusing on identity formation. The data generated were transcribed verbatim and analysed using a computer-assisted data analysis software (CAQDAS), NVivo 12 Plus, to classify group-specific codebooks emerging from the data collection.The finding suggests that refugee students’ studying via a virtual space face specific challenges linked to their lived reality; however, pedagogy and educators need to be more culturally responsive to support students from diverse backgrounds and aid in the identity transition. Moreover, opportunities gained through online learning allow a sense of belonging to a global education and skills fostered will prove fruitful academically and beyond. This study concludes with implications for professional practice within the higher academic setting.

Authors: CHOWDHURY A. , DAS H. P. , GAIKWAD S. D.
Published: January 2022

Mustard is an important cash crop in north India where it is widely grown under different climatic environment and soil types. In the present study, evapotranspiration and other agro-meteoralogical data for four agroclimatic locations, viz., Jorhat, Samakhunta, Raipur and Jodhpur have been utilized to understand consumptive use and related aspects of mustard. The evapotranspiration values recorded by  lysimeters, global radiation and actual soil moisture data of Jorhat and the computed soil moisture have been used.

 

            The study suggests that the nlustard plant uses n10re water at all the stations except at humid location where consumptive use is least. The utilization is n1aximum betw~n 31-60 days after sowing in case ofJorhat

l;er 111 and Samakhunta. The con1puted soil 1110isture estimates for 45 cm layer agree with the actual soil moisture.

15-1 The analysis also brings oUt that during the seventh week after sowing, the ratio of consumpiive use and

rti. Ru Ilobal radiation attains a nlaxin1um value. This infonnation can be used for detennining irrigation needs and

ular m computing energy balance components in the crop.

Will it be duststorm or thunderstorm today ?
Authors: KUMAR P.
Published: January 2022

ABSTRACT. Attempt to develop a distinct technique for the prediction of duststorm or duststorm followed by thundershower during pre-monsoon season over Gwalior, has been made, Two mean 0000 UTC tephigrams have been produced for the days when the duststorms and thunderstorms occurred. Difference is highlighted in the 0000 UTC surface and TEMP data on the days of duststorm/duststorm followed by thundershower with those on the days of thunderstorm. Statistical analysis of the duststorm data over Gwalior has also been carried out with respect to direction, time, fortnight and month of  occurrence of the event. For prediction of peak gust speed (PGS) of squall due to duststorm a single regression equation has been developed.
Universal spectrum for short period (days) variability in atmospheric total ozone
Authors: SELVAM A. M. , RADHAMANI M.
Published: January 2022

Long-range spatio-temporal correlations manifested as the self-similar fractal geometry to the spatial pattern concomitant with inverse power law form for the power spectrum of temporal fluctuations are ubiquitous to real world dynamical systems and are recently identified as signatures of self-organized criticality Self-organised criticality in atmospheric flows is exhibited as the fractal geometry 10 the global cloud cover pattern and the inverse power law form for the atmospheric eddy energy spectrum, In this paper, a recently developed cell dynamical system model for  atmospheric flows is summarized. The model predicts inverse power law form of the statistical normal distribution for atmospheric eddy energy spectrum as a natural consequence of quantum-like mechanics governing atmospheric flows extending up to stratospheric levels and above, Model Predictions are in agreement with continuous periodogram analyses of atmospheric total ozone. Atmospheric total ozone variability (in days) exhibits the temporal signature of self-organized criticality, namely, inverse power law form for the power spectrum. Further, the long-range temporal correlations implicit to self-organized criticality can be quantified in terms of the universal characteristics  of the normal distribution. Therefore the total pattern of fluctuations of total ozone over a period of time is predictable.
Light response and photosynthesis in sorghum under field conditions
Authors: KENJLE Y. R. , VARSHNEYA M. C. , NAIDU T. R. U.
Published: January 2022

ABSTRACT. The diurnal variation of rate of photosynthesis (l') with photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) model of light response curves and the relationship between PPFD and P were studied for two postmonsoon (rabi) sorghum genotypes, viz.. M35- I and RSV-9R under field conditions at Pune. The half maximal values. i.e., PPFD level at which P=Pmax/2 obtained were 1251 and 937 umolm-2s-1 for M35-l and RSV.9R respectively. The potential rates of photosynthesis were 65,79 and 64.52  umolm-2S-1 whereas the observed maximum rates of photosynthesis were lower. 40.93 and 46.66 umolm-2s-1 in M35-1 and RSV-9R Respectively, due to effect of air temperatures under the field conditions, n1e maximum rate of photosynthesis determined from the model decreased with delay in the sowing of the crop. Correlation coefficients between PPFD and rate of photosynthesis were 0,794 and 0,708 for M35-1 and RSV-9R respectively. The PPFD received and rate of photosynthesis decreased significantly with delay in sorghum sowing.
Variability of surface fields in different branches of monsoon
Authors: MOHANTY P. K. , DASH S. K.
Published: January 2022

ABSTRACT. Characteristics of the surface fields. such as zonal and meridional components of pseudostress. surface pressure, latent and sensible heat fluxes, sea surface temperature (SST) and air temperature for the years 1985 and 1986, are studied using ECMWF model-analysed data and FSU data obtained from TOGA CD-ROM (1990). Three branches of monsoon. Viz. (i) Arabian Sea; (ii) Bay of Bengal and (iii) South China 1 Sea are observed in pseudostress, surface pressure and latent heat flux. However, the other three surface fieldsdo not reflect the branching phenomenon.
The Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal branches depict strong signals of variability in the surface fields in association with the monsoon variability compared to the south China Sea branch. Arabian Sea branch is observed to have the strongest signals in the pseudostress and latent heat flux transfer whereas surface pressure is having the lowest value over the Bay of Bengal. Southern Indian Ocean shows significant variability in surface pressure in comparison to the three branches of monsoon. Strong positive radient of pseudostress in association with sudden increase of latent heat flux front May to June, and the pre-monsoonal pressure drop (March to April) in 1985 are the most prominent features associated with better monsoon activity. Inter-annual variability in sea surface temperature (SST) is not well marked but differences in SST amongst the three branches are significant.
Effects of change in orientation and surface roughness of terrain oil thermally induced up slope flows in western Ghats: A numerical study
Authors: TIWARI M. , RAMANATHAN N.
Published: January 2022

ABSTRACT. The effect of change in orientation and surface roughness of terrain on the daytime up slope flow is investigated using a 2-dimensional mesoscale model. A realistic orography profile of western ghat is chosen for the purpose. Twelve hour of integrations are performed starting from sunrise. The numerical simulation have shown that the intensity of up slope flows remained practically unaffected by change of orientation of terrain. However, increase in roughness length decreases the intensity of developed flows. For comparison purposes, the results of previous investigators are verified with a change in slope angles.
On some aspects of southwest monsoon rainfall over Tamilnadu
Authors: SUBRAMANIAN S. K. , THANKAPPAN V. N.
Published: January 2022

The rainfall during southwest monsoon season over Tamilnadu is quite significant from the point of view of water storage in major reservoirs as northeast monsoon rainfall, which is about half of the annual rainfall, is not stable enough due to its large interannual variability. The southwest monsoon rainfall, on the other hand, is more stable. The north-south oriented trough over Tamilnadu and adjoining Bay togetherwith upper air cyclonic circulation/trough in lower tropospheric levels account for three fourths of significant rainfall occurrence during southwest monsoon season. Rainfall during southwest monsoon and northeast monsoon seasons was found to be independent with a small negative correlation of -0.18. This shows that the southwest monsoon rainfall may not be of much use to predict the pattern of northeast monoon rainfall over Tamilnadu.
A numerical investigation of the influence of land-sea breeze on the atmospheric effluents released at a coastal site
Authors: VENKATESAN R.
Published: January 2022

ABSTRACT. Mesoscale features of a coastal atmospheric boundary layer such as the land-sea circulation and the thermal internal boundary layer (TIBL) structure have been simulated using a two-dimensional numerical boundary layer model. Using Boussinesq approximation for horizontal momentum equations and hydrostatic approximation for vertical momentum equation the model solves the 'shallow water' equations year over a grid domain 80 km length on either side of the coastline and 2 km height. The influence of the land-sea breezes on the dispersion of pollutants released from a continuous point source located at the roast has been studied. The fumigation of pollutants from an offshore source into TIBL over the land has also been illustrated. The limitations associated with the model are also discussed.
Variation of rainwater quality in Visakhapatnam
Authors: RAO C. SUBBA , RAO N. V. SUBBA
Published: January 2022

The electrical conductance (EC) of rain waters at Visakhapatnam is studied for a three year period of 1991-93. Lower amounts of rainfall (RF) record higher conductivity values and vice-versa due to dilution process of the amount of rain. EC/RF ratios decrease from summer months to monsoon as the accumulation of salts during dry periods is drained off with the progress of monsoon rains. Visakhapatnam records higher ionic contents than other stations in India due to highly polluted industrial atmosphere. The ionic contents for Ca, Na, K and a are possibly increasing with time at Visakhapatnam.

On the association between aerosol optical depths and surface meteorological conditions in a tropical coastal environment
Authors: NAIR PRABRA R. , MOORTHY K. KRISHNA
Published: January 2022

Columnar aerosol spectral optical depth data, estimated using a ground based passive multi-wavelength solar radiometer at the tropical coastal station of Thumba, Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum) (8.55°N, 77°E) during the period November 1985 to May 1991, are examined to study the association of the seasonal variations in the optical depths and their association with the prevailing meteorological conditions. A systematic seasonal variation has been observed, with the optical depths maximising in the summer/pre-monsoon season and reaching a minimum in the winter season. Significant association has been observed between the seasonal variations of aerosol spectral optical depths with those of the (on-shore) surface wind speed and the rainfall. The implications of the findings are discussed.

V pričujočem prispevku smo na kratko poskušali orisati spremembe pri uporabi arhivskega gradiva zunanjih uporabnikov v zadnjih letih v primerjavi z obdobjem pred tem. Sprejetje Splošne uredbe o varstvu podatkov (GDPR) je v določeni meri vplivalo na delo TV-arhiva in dokumentacije RTV Slovenija, saj je zahtevalo prilagoditev poslovanja. Ugotavljamo, da se število uporabnikov TV-arhiva v zadnjih letih povečuje, z nekaterimi ukrepi, ki so navedeni v prispevku, pa bi lahko njihovo število še povečali. Večjo spremembo predstavlja tudi pomembna pocenitev arhivskih storitev, predvsem presnemavanje s starejših analognih nosilcev, kar je bilo v preteklosti precej dražje. Z nižanjem cen storitev ter dajanjem digitaliziranih posnetkov na voljo javnosti na spletnih portalih lahko približamo dostopnost televizijskega arhivskega gradiva čim širšemu krogu prebivalstva.

Maddi kültür simgesi sayılan giyim, bir toplumun geleneklerini, göreneklerini, kültürlerini yansıtan önemli öğelerden biri sayılmaktadır. İlkel insanların korunma ve örtünme ihtiyacını gideren giyime, günümüzde cinsiyet, sosyal konum, eğitim düzeyi, kültür, inanç, yaşam görüşü gibi birçok konuda anlam yüklendiğine şahit olmaktayız. Kültürün en canlı belgelerinden biri olarak sayılan giyim, bir ülkenin, dönemin, kişinin ya da topluluğun özelliklerini yansıtmaktadır. Bu sebeplere dayanarak zengin bir sanat ve kültür anlayışıyla ilişkilendirilen Pers giyim tarzı özellikle Pers erkek giyimi, Doğu-Batı sanat ve kültürünün birleşiminin bir sonucu olarak düşünülse de kesinlikle kendine has bir tarz ve duruş sergilemektedir. Genel olarak Pers giyim kültüründe, kadın, erkek giyim tarzları arasında pek bir fark görülmeksizin, bol ve rahat olan giyim tarzını saray elbisesi ve resmi elbise ve dar olan stili ise süvari üniforması olarak görmek mümkün. Diğer taraftan normal halkın arasında yaygın olan kıyafet tarzları farklılık göstermektedir, bu farklılıkları; şapka türlerinde, uzun elbiseler, alt gömlekler, pantolonlar ve Papuş diye bilinen bir tür terlik modellerinde görmekteyiz. Bu araştırmada Pers erkek giyimiyle ilgili, zengin bir literatür taraması yapılmış ve araştırma görsel kaynaklarla desteklenmiştir. Seçilen konunun Pers ve dünya kültür tarihi ile ilgili literatüre kaynak sağlaması ve katkı sunması bakımından önemli olduğu düşünülmektedir.
Simulation of Creative Manifestation by Functional Ensembles of Intellectual Agents Based on Live Information in Various Spheres of Life Activity
Authors: Bryndin Evgeny
Published: January 2022

Neural networks with deep learning and reinforcement are able to compose poetry and music, draw paintings, and write short stories, as well as come up with scripts for films. Functional ensembles of harmoniously interacting intellectual agents with living information can virtually model creativity for various spheres of life activity. Virtual modeling of creativity by harmoniously interacting intellectual agents is carried out based on living creative processes represented by acts of creation accumulated by humanity in a certain sphere of life. Live information of creative acts of creation for functional ensembles from harmoniously interacting intellectual agents is revealed from the effective creative practice of specialists in specific conditions and presented in the format of smart ethical communicative-associative cases. To model creativity, a virtual environment of a certain sphere of activity is formed, in which the ensemble gives birth to a creative fruit according to the plan of a specialist. Functional ensembles of harmoniously interacting intellectual agents with live creative practice can cooperate with a person, and can also independently virtually model the creative creation of new designs of a specialist, if the ensemble has enough acts of creation.
Depreciation Capital as a Source of Financing of Mining Companies Activities
Authors: Sierpińska-Sawicz Agata , Sierpińska Maria
Published: January 2022

The issue discussed in the paper is highly relevant and topical in economic practice because of changes in the recognition of certain assets and their depreciation. The author’s research established that depreciation write-off in financial terms constitute capital comprising two components: depreciation and the tax shield effect. The non-tax shield is more important relative to other tax shields because the vast majority of entities in the raw materials industry own assets which are depreciated for the purposes of balance sheet accounting and tax accounting. As a cost depreciation, on the one hand, reduces the financial result and on the other, generates additional operating cash flows. Depreciable assets account for a large portion of coal companies’ assets. In addition, due to the implementation of IFRS 16 on leasing their share increased as did the amount of depreciation. Hence, its share in operating cash flows in Polish coal companies is slightly higher than in global companies. An overwhelming part of the additional depreciation arising from the inclusion in the assets reported in the balance sheet of assets used based on contracts of lease, lending or rental does not reduce the tax basis and does not constitute a tax shield. Consequently, it creates a disparity between the gross profit/loss and taxable income, thereby increasing the effective tax rate. An increase in the depreciation level in coal companies facilitates maintenance of liquidity and provides financing for investment projects and improves debt servicing, especially in times of declining financial result when coal prices are low.
Evaluation of Clinical Features and Outcomes of Patients with Coronavirus (COVID-19) Admitted to ICU in Southeastern Iran in 2020
Authors: Hosseinnezhad Hanieh , Hozhabrossadati Seyyed Morteza , Khalesi Ali Reza , Ganjifard Mahmoud
Published: January 2022

Background: Coronavirus, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), in humans, mainly causes respiratory and gastrointestinal manifestations that can range from a simple cold to severe clinical symptoms or death. On the other hand, COVID-19 patients’ hospitalization in the intensive care unit (ICU) have serious problems, which can affect their mortality; therefore, the awareness of these problems has a main role in decision-making in the early stages. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical features and outcomes of patients with COVID-19 admitted to the ICU. Methods: This cross-sectional (descriptive-analytical) study was conducted on patients with COVID-19 pneumonia admitted to the ICU of Valiasr Hospital, Birjand, Iran, in 2020. A total of 111 patients, including 51 female and 63 male subjects, were enrolled in this study using convenience sampling. Demographic data, comorbidities, signs and symptoms, radiological findings, supportive methods of oxygen therapy, and clinical outcomes were collected using a checklist and compared between two groups (i.e., survivors and nonsurvivors). Results: Among 111 patients (including 59 nonsurvivors and 52 survivors), the numbers of mortalities within the age ranges of ≥ 75 and ≤ 44 years were the highest and lowest, respectively. In the survived patients, hypertension (50.8%), diabetes mellitus (47.5%), heart disease (44.1%), and chronic obstructive lung disease (23.7%) were the most common comorbidities. Moreover, dyspnea (81.1%), fever and chills (73%), cough (64.9%), muscle pain (45%), and weakness, and lethargy (42.3%) were the most common symptoms of the patients. Based on the comparison of survived and nonsurvived groups, diarrhea (P < 0.001), sore throat (P < 0.001), nausea (P < 0.001), and vomiting (P < 0.0001) were significantly higher in the group of survived patients. Among the radiological findings (i.e., chest X-ray and high-resolution computed tomography), bronchoalveolar markings (P = 0.05) and pleural effusion (P = 0.02) were higher in the nonsurvived patients. The average Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) score ≥ 16 was reported with a higher mortality rate. Conclusions: Risk factors, including dyspnea, older age, comorbidities, and high APACHE II score, could increase the risk of poor clinical outcomes and help identify ill patients with a poor prognosis at the beginning of ICU admission.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, 10 oturumluk Sosyal Duygusal Beceri Eğitimi Programının ortaokul 6., 7. ve 8. sınıfa devam eden öğrencilerin duygusal zeka düzeyleri üzerindeki etkililiğini incelemektir. Araştırma verileri 2011-2012 eğitim öğretim
yılı bahar döneminde toplanmıştır. Araştırmada, öncelikle beceri programının uygulamasının gerçekleştirildiği okulda 6., 7. ve 8. sınıfa devam eden öğrencilerin tamamına (N=128) Bar-On Duygusal Zeka Ölçeği: Çocuk ve Ergen Formu
uygulanmıştır. Sonrasından öğrencilerin puanları temel alınarak tesadüfi atama yoluyla deney, plasebo ve kontrol grubu oluşturulmuştur. Deney, plasebo ve kontrol gruplarından her birine başlangıçta 10’ar öğrenci atanmıştır. Ancak
plasebo grubunda yer alan öğrencilerin 1’i ve deney grubuna devam eden öğrencilerden 4’ü oturumların tamamına katılmadıkları için sontest ölçümlerinin dışında tutulmuştur. Deney grubundaki öğrencilere 10 oturumdan oluşan Sosyal
Duygusal Beceri Eğitimi Programı uygulanmıştır. Plasebo grubunda yer alan öğrencilere deney grubuna uygulanan programın kapsamındaki etkinliklerle ilişkili olmayan rehberlik etkinlikleri uygulanmıştır. Kontrol grubunda yer alan
öğrenciler için herhangi bir program uygulanmamıştır. Deney grubundaki öğrenciler, Bar-On’un Duygusal zeka modelinde yer alan alt boyutların (genel ruh hali, kişiler arası beceriler, kişisel beceriler, stres yönetimi ve uyum sağlayabilirlik)
yanı sıra Goleman’ın duygusal zeka modelindeki alt boyutlarını da (sosyal beceri, benlik bilinci, kendini harekete geçirme, empati ve öz-yönetim) kapsayacak şekilde hazırlanan Sosyal Duygusal Beceri Eğitimi Programına (SDBEP) katılmıştır.
SDBEP on hafta boyunca haftada bir oturum olarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Verilerin analizinde, Wilcoxon İşaretli Sıralar testi ile birlikte Kruskall Wallis H Testi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın bulgularına göre, bireylerarası, bireyiçi
ve duygusal zeka toplam puanlarında deney grubunda deney sonrası (sontest) lehine anlamlı bir farkın olduğu görülmüştür. Diğer yandan, plasebo grubundaki öğrencilerin Duygusal Zeka Ölçeğinden aldıkları öntest ve sontest puanları
karşılaştırıldığında bireylerarası, genel ruh hali ve duygusal zeka toplam puanları açısından rehberlik çalışmaları sonrası anlamlı bir farkın olduğu görülmüştür. Bunlara ek olarak, üç grubun sontest puanları arasında fark olup
olmadığı incelendiğinde, deney grubunda yer alan öğrencilerin Bar-On Duygusal Zeka Ölçeği alt boyutları arasında sadece stres yönetimi sontest puanlarının, diğer iki gruptaki öğrencilerden anlamlı düzeyde yüksek olduğu bulunmuştur.

Bu çalışma dört-sekizinci sınıfına devam eden çocukların hayvanlara yönelik davranışlarını belirlemeye yönelik bir ölçek geliştirmek amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmaya 2020-2021 öğretim yılında Ankara il genelinde dört- sekizinci
sınıfa devam eden çocuklar dahil edilmiştir. Ölçek geliştirme aşamaları kapsamında öncelikle literatür taranmış, elde edilen bilgiler doğrultusunda madde havuzu oluşturulmuş, oluşturulan maddeler için uzman görüşü alınmıştır. Madde
havuzunda bulunan maddeler için uzman görüş formu oluşturulmuş; iki çocuk gelişimci, bir ziraat mühendisi (zooteknist), bir veteriner hekim, bir ölçme değerlendirme uzmanı, bir sınıf öğretmeni, bir fen bilgisi öğretmeni olmak üzere
yedi uzmana ulaştırılarak görüş alınmıştır. Uzman sayısının yedi olması nedeniyle anlamlılık düzeyi 0,75 olarak alınmış ve ölçeğin kapsam geçerliliği 14 madde doğrultusunda yapılmıştır. Uzman görüşleri doğrultusunda maddelerin
tamamı kapsam geçerliliği oranının; 0,75’ten büyük olması, kapsam geçerlilik indeksinin +1 çıkması nedeniyle çocukların hayvanlara yönelik davranış ölçeğinden madde çıkartılmamıştır. Uzman görüşleri sonrasında pilot çalışma yapılarak,
maddelerin anlaşılırlığı test edilmiştir. Son şekli verilen ölçek dört-sekizinci sınıfa devam eden 359 çocuğa sınıflarında uygulanmış ve elde edilen verilerin açımlayıcı faktör analizi (AFA), doğrulayıcı faktör analizi (DFA) ve
güvenirliğinin belirlenmesi amacıyla Cronbach Alfa güvenirlik katsayıları hesaplanmıştır. AFA sonucunda ölçeğin on bir sorudan oluşan tek boyutlu bir ölçek olduğu belirlenmiş, toplam varyansın %44,18’ini açıkladığı görülmüştür.
Yapılan analizler sonucunda “Hayvanlara Yönelik Davranış Ölçeğinin” çocukların hayvanlara yönelik davranışlarını ölçmede geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
Is The Positive Psychological Capital Of Teachers An Indicator Of Attitude Toward Foreign Language And Foreign Language Anxiety?
Authors: YILDIRAN Çağan
Published: January 2022

Yabancı dil eğitiminin önemi hem yurt içinde hem de yurt dışında giderek artmaktadır. Öğretmenlerin sahip oldukları kişilik özellikleri, bu eğitimde önem arz etmektedir. Ancak, görece yeni bir kavram olarak pozitif psikoloik sermaye
ile ilgili yeterli bilgiye sahip olduğumuzu söylemek zordur. Öğretmenlerinin psikolojik sermayeleri, öğrencilerin yabancı dil olarak İngilizce dersine ilişkin tutum ve kaygı düzeylerinin bir göstergesi midir? Bu çalışmada, söz
konusu soruya yanıt aramak amaçlanmıştır. Nicel olarak tasarlanan çalışmada ilişkisel tarama deseni kullanılmıştır. Toplam 95 İngilizce öğretmeni ve 2073 öğrenci katılımcıları meydana getirmiştir. Araştırma Adana il merkezine bağlı
4 ilçede bulunan devlet okullarında, 2017-2018 akademik yılında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Üç farklı ölçek ve 1 demografik bilgi formu kullanılmış, toplanan veriler kodlanarak bilgisayar ortamına aktarılmış, sonrasında, SPSS programı
yardımıyla veriler çözümlemeye tabi tutulmuştur. Bu süreçte analizler uygun teknikler ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ulaşılan sonuçlara göre atılımcı öğretmenlerin çok yüksek psikolojik sermayeye sahip oldukları, ancak bunun öğrencilerin
yabancı dile yönelik tutum düzeylerinin bir göstergesi olmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Buna ek olarak, yine öğretmenlerin psikolojik sermayeleri ile öğrencilerinin yabancı dil ders kaygı düzeyleri arasında anlamlı bir ilişkinin
varlığı tespit edilememiştir. Ayrıca, öğrencilerin tutum düzeylerinin yüksek, ancak kaygı düzeylerinin düşük olduğu, yine araştırma sonucunda belirlenmiştir. Bu sonuçlara dayalı olarak hem araştırmacılara hem de politika yapıcılara
yönelik olarak bir dizi önerilere yer verilmiştir.

Bu çalışmada okul öncesi eğitim kurumlarında uygulanan hareket etkinliklerinin çocukların matematik becerileri üzerindeki rolüne ilişkin öğretmen görüşlerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu doğrultuda öğretmenlerin, okul öncesi dönemde
matematiğin önemi, matematiği destekleyen gelişim alanları ve matematik becerilerinin desteklenmesinde hareket etkinliklerinin rolü ile açık havada hareket etkinlikleri planlama ve hareket etkinliklerini matematik etkinlikleriyle
bütünleştirme konusundaki görüşleri incelenmeye çalışılmıştır. Çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden Odak (Focus) grup görüşmesi tekniği kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada gerekli etik kurul izni Gazi Üniversitesi Etik Komisyonu’nun
14.07.2020 tarih ve 07 sayılı toplantısında alınmıştır. Görüşme formunda bulunan açık uçlu sorular araştırmacı tarafından dört ana başlık altında hazırlanarak uzman görüşüne sunulmuştur. Çalışma grubunu Zonguldak ili Ereğli ilçesinde
Millî Eğitim Bakanlığına bağlı resmi anasınıflarında görev yapan dokuz okul öncesi öğretmeni oluşturmuştur. Görüşme moderatör başkanlığında ve iki gözlemci eşliğinde 60 dakikalık tek oturumda gerçekleştirilmiştir. Katılımcılara
görüşmenin amacı açıklandıktan sonra hazırlanan görüşme soruları yöneltilmiş ve veri kaybını önlemek amacıyla katılımcıların izni alınarak yanıtları kayıt altına alınmıştır. Görüşme sırasında aktif katılıma önem verilmiştir. Veriler
açık uçlu sorulardan elde edildiği için verilerin çözümlenmesinde içerik analizi tekniği kullanılmıştır. Bu doğrultuda görüşme formundaki dört boyut analiz düzeyi olarak karşılaştırılarak elde edilen bulgular literatür doğrultusunda
tartışılarak yorumlanmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda; öğretmenlerin hareket etkinliklerinin çocukların matematik becerilerini desteklediği ancak uygulamada yetersiz kaldıkları görüşünde oldukları belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca öğretmenlerin
matematik ve hareket etkinliklerini planlarken ilgili kazanımların veriliş sırasına yeteri kadar hassasiyet göstermedikleri sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Influence of Selected‐Response Format Variants on Test Characteristics and Test‐Taking Effort: An Empirical Study
Authors: Guo Hongwen , Rios Joseph A. , Ling Guangming , Wang Zhen , Gu Lin , Yang Zhitong , Liu Lydia O.
Published: January 2022

Different variants of the selected‐response (SR) item type have been developed for various reasons (i.e., simulating realistic situations, examining critical‐thinking and/or problem‐solving skills). Generally, the variants of SR item format are more complex than the traditional multiple‐choice (MC) items, which may be more challenging to test takers and thus may discourage their test engagement on low‐stakes assessments. Low test‐taking effort has been shown to distort test scores and thereby diminish score validity. We used data collected from a large‐scale assessment to investigate how variants of the SR item format may impact test properties and test engagement. Results show that the studied variants of SR item format were generally harder and more time consuming compared to the traditional MC item format, but they did not show negative impact on test‐taking effort. However, item position had a dominating influence on nonresponse rates and rapid‐guessing rates in a cumulative fashion, even though the effect sizes were relatively small in the studied data.
Protein‐enabled detection of ibuprofen and sulfamethoxazole using solid‐state nanopores
Authors: Xia Zehui , Lin Chih‐Yuan , Drndić Marija
Published: January 2022

Enabled by proteins, we present an all‐electrical method for rapid detection of small pharmaceuticals (ibuprofen and sulfamethoxazole [SMZ]) in aqueous media using silicon nitride pores. Specifically, we use carrier proteins, bovine serum albumin (BSA), and take advantage of their interactions with two small drug molecules to form BSA–drug complexes which can be detected by nm‐diameter pores, thereby confirming the presence of small pharmaceuticals. We demonstrate detection of ibuprofen and SMZ at concentrations down to 100 nM (∼21 μg/L) and 48.5 nM (12 μg/L), respectively. We observe changes in electrical signal characteristics (reflected in event durations, rates, current magnitudes, and estimated particle diameters) of BSA–drug complexes compared to BSA‐only, and differences between these two small pharmaceuticals, possibly paving a path toward developing selective sensors by identifying “electrical fingerprints” of these molecules in the future. These distinct electrical signals are likely a combined result of diffusion, electrophoretic and electroosmotic effects, interactions between the pore and particles, which depend on pore diameters, pH, and the resulting surface charges. The use of single‐molecule‐counting nanopores allows sensing of small pharmaceuticals, studies of protein conformational changes, and may aid in efforts to evaluate the impact of small drug molecules on aquatic and human life.

Self-Employment or Selfless Employment? Exploration of Factors that Motivate, Facilitate, and Constrain Latina Entrepreneurship from a Family Embeddedness Perspective
Authors: Newman Soren , Saul Darin , Dearien Christy , Hernandez Nancy
Published: January 2022

As the economic and social importance of Latina-owned businesses continues to grow, research is needed on the factors that motivate entrepreneurship among Latinas and that facilitate and constrain their success. This study draws on in-depth interviews and survey data to explore the experiences of Latina entrepreneurs in Idaho, USA, from an embeddedness perspective combining family embeddedness and intersectionality frameworks to illustrate how family and social positioning affects motivations, opportunities, and access to resources. We found Latinas were motivated to start businesses by a range of interacting factors, including centrally a strong sense of responsibility to their nuclear and families of origin. Prominent family motivations included the desire to provide opportunities for younger and older generations and the need for flexibility to manage family and work obligations. Compared to their middle-class peers, working-class Latina entrepreneurs were more likely to need flexibility because they could not afford third-party care for a family member, to experience greater barriers to accessing traditional financing and professional advice, and to be more dependent on family support for their success, although not all had family-based resources upon which they could rely. Latinas struggled to fulfill traditional family role expectations and obligations while assuming the expanded responsibilities of running a business. While a central tension in their lives, this struggle provides the impetus to renegotiate and update traditional gender and family expectations as they navigate role conflict and strain.
