Authors: DOĞAN Selen , KIR Aysun
Published: October 2018

Teknoloji çağı olarak adlandırılan 21. yüzyılda, örgütlerin sahip olduğu
teknoloji, onları rakiplerinden ayırarak rakiplerine üstünlük sağlamasında
temel etmen olmaktan çıkmıştır. Çünkü günümüzde teknoloji, gerekli sermayeye
sahip bütün örgütler tarafından kolaylıkla ulaşılabilen bir unsur haline
gelmiştir. Bu yüzden de teknoloji faktörünün yerini artık insan faktörü
almıştır. Örgütlerin birbirlerine karşı rekabet avantajı sağlayabilmelerinin ve
bunu sürdürebilmelerinin temel şartı, örgüt için fayda sağlayabilecek nitelikli
çalışanlara sahip olmak ve onların yeteneklerinden en yüksek şekilde
yararlanabilmektir.

Bu çalışmada örgütsel sessizlik, tükenmişlik sendromu ve çalışan
performansı ilişkisi incelenmiştir ve çalışmanın teorik kısmında bu kavramlar
açıklanmıştır. Araştırma
sonucunda örgütsel sessizlik ve çalışan performansı ile tükenmişlik sendromu ve
çalışan performansı arasında anlamlı ilişki bulunmuştur. Ancak, örgütsel
sessizlik ile tükenmişlik sendromunun alt boyutları arasında kısmen bir ilişki
bulunmasına rağmen genelde bir ilişki bulunamamıştır.

Kedudukan atau status berarti posisi atau tempat seseorang dalam sebuah kelompok sosial. Makin tinggi kedudukan seseorang dalam sebuah kelompok sosial. Makin tinggi kedudukan seseorang maka makin mudah pula dalam memperoleh fasilitas yang diperlukan dan diinginkan. Kondisi Sosial Ekonomi Menurut Conyers (1991: 5) kata sosial ekonomi mengandung pengertian sebagai sesuatu yang non moneter sifatnya yang bertalian dengan kualitas kehidupan insani. Sedangkan ekonomi dijelaskan sebagai lawan dari pengertian sosial yaitu dilibatkan kaitannya dengan uang. Dengan demikian kondisi sosial ekonomi berdasarkan pengertian di atas merupakan suatu kondisi yang terkait secara moneter dan non moneter. Kondisi sosial ekonomi keluarga didasarkan pada pendapatan keluarga, tingkat pendidikan orang tua, pendapatan orang orang tua dan status sosial di dalam masyarakat seperti, hubungan den- gan masyarakat, asosiasi dalam kelompok masyarakat, dan persepsi masyarakat atas keluarga (Demarest et all, 1993). Sehingga derajat kesehatan dapat dilihat dari status sosial keluarga mereka yaitu pendidikan, pendapatan, dan pekerjaan.

Authors: Adnan
Published: October 2018

This study aims to get a description implementation of assessment activities in Indonesian language learning. The subjects of study are twenty one of Language Indonesian teachers of Senior high School in a district of West Nusa Tenggara province. Data collection by using questionnaire, interview, observation, and document analysis. The result of this study shows that most of teachers do assessment of Indonesian language learning by using test (essay and multiple choices). Based on the theory, assessment by using test can not be done on skill assessment. Skill assessment only can be done by assignment. Some of teachers did skill assessment by giving performance task and productive task for students. But, the teachers have not implemented performance assessment, and product assessment well because it was not supported of adequate assessment tools such as rubric of performance assessment, and product assessment. Thus, it can be concluded that teachers have not done assessment well.
A Cooperative Federalism Approach to Shareholder Arbitration
Authors: Clopton Zachary D. , Winship Verity
Published: October 2018

128 Yale Law Journal Forum 169 (2018).Arbitration dominates private law across an ever-expanding range of fields. Its latest target, however, may not be a new field as much as a new form: mandatory arbitration provisions built into corporate charters and bylaws. Recent developments in corporate law coupled with signals from the Securities and Exchange Commission suggest that regulators may be newly receptive to shareholder arbitration. What they do next may have dramatic consequences for whether and how corporate and securities laws are enforced.The debate about the merits of arbitration is well worn, but its application to shareholder claims opens the door to a different set of responses. In particular, the overlapping authority of federal and state actors with respect to corporate law calls for approaches that sound in cooperative federalism. Yet cooperative-federalist approaches have been absent from recent debates about shareholder arbitration. This Essay explains why cooperative federalism is a natural fit for addressing these issues. Moreover, we marshal specific examples of cooperative solutions in this area that could help frame federal-state coordination going forward. Such a cooperative response would avoid unnecessary federal-state conflict and allow policymakers to approach shareholder arbitration with expertise, accountability, and mutual respect.
Magnocellular Pathway and Reading Rate: An Equivalence Test Analysis
Authors: Edwards Ashley , Schatschneider Christopher
Published: October 2018

Previous research has revealed conflicting results with regard to the role of the magnocellular visual system in reading and dyslexia. In order to investigate this further, the present study examined the relationship between performance on two magnocellular tasks (temporal gap detection and coherent motion), reading rate (oral and silent), and rapid letter naming (serial and isolated naming). Results showed that in a sample of 83 college students magnocellular performance was not significantly correlated with reading rate or rapid letter naming. Equivalence test analyses showed all correlations between magnocellular performance and reading rate or rapid letter naming to be within the bounds of -0.3 to 0.3. This provides evidence against the idea that having low magnocellular performance will result in poor reading ability. In opposition to the magnocellular deficit theory of dyslexia, these results suggest that a magnocellular deficit is not causally related to reading rate.
The conundrum of person-environment fit/misfit: A world of possibilities
Authors: Redelinghuys Kleinjan
Published: October 2018

The importance of studying person-environment (PE) interactions needs no introduction, as good fit generally leads to positive outcomes, while misfit usually leads to negative consequences. Even though an extensive knowledge base has been built around the concept of PE fit, numerous studies suggest that we have only partially tapped into its full potential. This warrant further exploration of this construct. Therefore, this article aimed to reflect on previous PE fit literature (its background, importance, dimensionality, common obstacles) and use it as a framework to direct attention to possibly underexplored areas of fit. Based on the foundations of previous PE fit literature, numerous conclusions regarding fit are reached, practical implications regarding fit are discussed, and recommendations for future fit research are made. Although there may be incongruence regarding the direction of PE fit, its dimensionality, measurement, and the way forward (to name a few); one thing is for sure: we live in exciting times of fit research!
The human face of the European Union: are EU law and policy humane enough? An introduction
Authors: Ferreira Nuno
Published: October 2018

The EU has throughout its history benefited from variable levels of popular support and revealed different levels of capacity to deal with crises. The current circumstances, on account of financial pressures, social instability and present geographical and policy scope of the EU, require serious introspection and ‘soul searching’. What can be done if the EU is not to perish and, hopefully, become more part of the solution than of the problem? May becoming more humane be the answer?‘Humane’ may be defined in different ways, including compassionate, sympathetic and humanitarian. Non-Western cultures seem to have made a much more sophisticated use of this notion in broader contexts up to the present day. Chinese culture, through the Confucian notion of ‘jen’, places enormous value on humaneness as a way of achieving balance, empathy and the moral standard. In the African context, the notion of ‘ubuntu’ has served as the gateway through which humaneness infiltrates all aspects of society, including law and policy, namely by focussing on participation, co-responsibility, interdependence, respect and equality. This introduction presents an analytical framework through which the degree of humaneness of the different fields of EU law and policy can be assessed.
CanEuroscepticism Contribute to a European Public Sphere? The Europeanization of Media Discourses about Euroscepticism across Six Countries
Authors: Segesten Dutceac , Bossetta Michael
Published: October 2018

This study compares the media discourses about Euroscepticism in 2014 across six countries (United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Spain, Sweden, and Denmark). We assess the extent to which the mass media’s reporting of Euroscepticism indicates the Europeanization of public spheres. Using a mixed-methods approach combining LDA topic modeling and qualitative coding, we find that approximately 70 per cent of print articles mentioning ‘Euroscepticism’ or ‘Eurosceptic’ are framed in a non-domestic (i.e. European) context. In five of the six cases studied, articles exhibiting a European context are strikingly similar in content, with the British case as the exception. However, coverage of British Euroscepticism drives Europeanization in other Member States. Bivariate logistic regressions further reveal three macro-level structural variables that significantly correlate with a Europeanized media discourse: newspaper type (tabloid or broadsheet), presence of a strong Eurosceptic party, and relationship to the EU budget (net contributor or receiver of EU funds).
Danisi, Carmelo, Dustin, Moira and Ferreira, Nuno (2017) Queering brexit. The UK in a Changing Europe.
Authors: Danisi Carmelo , Dustin Moira , Ferreira Nuno
Published: October 2018

On 24 June 2016, many people had the feeling that they had gone to bed the night before in the United Kingdom and had woken up in Little Britain – a country prone to isolationism and protectionism, risking hurting its economic and social development for the sake of imperial nostalgia and moral panic about ‘loss of sovereignty’ and ‘mass migration’. That feeling inevitably affected many individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, intersex, queer and other (LGBTIQ+). Although the possible impact of Brexit seems to have been scrutinised from most angles, there has been limited analysis of how it may affect LGBTIQ+ individuals.There is certainly more than one ‘gay in the village’, so it is worth assessing Brexit in relation to the situation of LGBTIQ+ individuals. This is particularly timely in the light of the recent UK Supreme Court decision in Walker v Innospec Limited, where the Court relied on European Union (EU) law to hold a provision of the Equality Act 2010 unlawful for violating pension rights of same-sex couples.
Ferreira, Nuno (2018) Working children in England and Wales: does anyone care about their rights? British Politics and Policy LSE blog, London.
Authors: Ferreira Nuno
Published: October 2018

Judged by the level of political debate, public policy and academic literature, the work of children (under-18s) in England and Wales is neither of interest nor of concern. And yet the absence of this topic from the policy agenda is far from indicative of its lack of relevance or timeliness. In fact, figures from the Labour Force Survey suggest that about a third of young people aged 16-17 are active in the labour market. Many of these young people, and others even younger, work illegally for a range of reasons: because of the number of hours worked, their age, the type of work carried out, the time of day worked, or because they lack a work permit. Indeed, in 2013, Nils Muižnieks – the Council of Europe’s Commissioner for Human Rights – reported on children working long hours in the UK as a consequence of the late 2000s economic crisis. And in 2015, at a seminar held in Liverpool, several children of high school age spoke candidly about practices of dubious legality that they experienced at work, including low pay, informal work arrangements, deficient health and safety conditions, and sexist recruitment procedures, not to speak of detrimental effects to their education. More generally, we should be alarmed that children who work mainly carry out unskilled and manual labour, are poorly paid, acquire limited recognisable skills, jeopardise their educational attainment, sustain accidental injuries (in particular in delivery and agricultural work), may not be covered by insurance and accident cover, are often burdened with caring duties, and may even be recruited by the military. So, what is being done to address these issues?
Economic homeostasis through negative feedback in the market using a floating taxation policy: an initial insight
Authors: Abramov Dimitri Marques
Published: October 2018

The market economy is contemporaneously considered as a complex adaptive system, chaotic and far from equilibrium. However, there are no feedback mechanisms that provide stability to the system. In this preliminary essay, I outline the fundamental idea of a floating taxation system to compensate for the market oscillations of goods, growth and profit of companies and their socio-environmental impact, promoting the long-term stability of the economic system.
Reality Monitoring and Autobiographical Memory: Negotiating the Self
Authors: Montemayor Carlos
Published: October 2018

The contemporary study of memory has greatly benefited from recent findings in neuroscience and psychology showing that memory is a highly flexible, contextualized and yet, reliable enough system, composed of different types of functions that overlap to provide an overall balance of accuracy and meaning. Although I discuss some of these findings, my main focus is on putting them into a larger perspective. Memory has been a very important issue in the humanities, literature, and the history of psychology. This paper discusses the importance of inner speech and narrative from a theoretical and historical perspective, interpreting contemporary findings in the light of previous theories of memory, consciousness, and the influence of language on both. Collective memory, different forms of reality monitoring, and the interaction between episodic and autobiographical memory are discussed. Previous views on the suppression and intrusion of memories are also analyzed.
The Fictility of Porcelain: Making and Shaping Meaning in Lady Dorothea Banks’s “Dairy Book”
Authors: Newport Emma
Published: October 2018

While there are extensive records of Sir Joseph Banks’s lifetime of work, the “Dairy Book” is one of the few surviving documents that chart an aspect of the intellectual life of his wife, Lady Dorothea Banks. The Dairy Book represents a record of Dorothea’s interpretation of her porcelain collection, acquired through the Banks family’s international network of scholars, scientists, and manufacturers. Beginning with a discussion of its unusual materiality, this article argues that the Dairy Book is distanced from the ordinary book form and is instead closer to the porcelain collection in substance: occulted, disorderly, and excessive. The Dairy Book functions as a metonym for the porcelain collection and the substance itself. This article examines porcelain and the collector’s text as fictile material: a portable signifier and a repository for meanings that are shaped by the collector’s selection and display. The plasticity suggested by “fictile” destabilizes understandings of how meaning is created and communicated. It frames how porcelain may be interpreted through associated practices of synecdoche, metonymy, and transposition.
Puppets, Waxworks, and a Wooden Dramatis Personae: Eighteenth-Century Material Culture and Philosophical History in William Godwin’s Fleetwood
Authors: Peacocke Emma
Published: October 2018

William Godwin’s novel Fleetwood, or The New Man of Feeling (1805) is a phil osophical history, crafted through distinctively eighteenth-century material objects. Two extraordinary episodes underpin this history of one individual’s mind and of the times that shaped it, and demonstrate how material objects con tribute to the personal and political nature of narratives of the self. First, a human-sized puppet is used in a fatal prank among Oxford undergradu ates; second, Fleetwood deliriously destroys a waxwork image of his wife. Where Godwin’s contemporaries found these scenes too outré for a novel that claimed veri similitude, I argue that their materi alism is crucial to Fleetwood’s examina tion of eighteenth-century insti tu tions. Because examin ing material culture was a typical eighteenth-century historiographical strategy, Godwin is able to write as though in the era that he describes and with the wisdom of hindsight from 1805. Fore ground ing the material objects of puppet and wax work illuminates the satirical, educational, medical, sexual, and theatrical dis courses that imbue Fleetwood’s material artifacts and that shape the novel’s setting.
Beyond Celebration: A Critical Sociological Inquiry of Interracial Union Research in Canada
Authors: Deliovsky Katerina , Kitossa Tamari
Published: October 2018

Research in Canada has latched onto the explanation that the growth in interracial unions is both cause and consequence of progressive social change. The authors cast a skeptical eye on this regime of truth produced by positivistic statistical procedure and the speculative theory of social change as it connects to the state brand of tolerance. They offer a meta-theoretical critique that challenges the taken-for-granted assumption that the growth in interracial unions can be explained by multiculturalism, the presumed antiracist implications of these unions, and the supposed amorphousness that mixed-race children presumably embody. The authors seek to disrupt the mystification and commodification of interracial unions and the children of these unions as proxies for social change. Instead, they call for critically and historically informed qualitative and quantitative research that avoids deputizing interracial unions en masse as societal change agents. They call for other and more robust metrics for measuring the reduction of racism. Attendant to radically altering how interracial unions are imagined, it is necessary for theory and research practices to deeply engage with class, gender, race, sexuality, and asymmetries of power when examining the complex, contradictory, and joyous inner and outer life-worlds of interracial couples and families.
The Opportunities and Challenges of Information and Communication Technology and Digital Media Research in Canadian Francophone Studies
Authors: Thompson Michelle
Published: October 2018

This article reviews and brings together literature from francophone studies on identity across several disciplines (sociology, geography, history, political economy) with that on information and communication technologies (ICTs). The article revisits established scholarship on minority francophones to address the collective shift in understanding membership in these fragmented communities since the rise of the Internet. The analysis brings to light the need to address topics such as geographic mobility and ethnic diversity among francophones. The literature is deconstructed to identify gaps in existing theories and consider minority francophones from an information society perspective. The article makes clear the challenges and opportunities of looking at new concepts such as ICTs, virtual identity, and geographic mobility.
Who Do You Think You Are? Reading, Authority, and Book Reviewing

Dynamics of Journal Impact Factors and Limits to Their Inflation
Authors: Fischer Igor , Steiger Hans-Jakob
Published: October 2018

Journal Impact Factors (JIFs) appear to increase for the majority of scientific journals. The current analysis was initiated to better define the dynamics of JIFs. Original data from the Journal Citation Reports, from 1997 to 2016, were analysed. The number of citations referring to publications of the previous two years was correlated with the number of articles and the increase in the number of articles. A model was calculated by smoothing the correlation curves. The mean JIF increased from 1.1 to 2.2 almost continuously. The model suggested that the mean JIF will asymptotically reach a maximum value of 2.6. The number of publications has been growing annually by a factor of 1.048. Correlating the overall number of countable citations with the number of published articles revealed a stable relationship of 6.3 citations referring to the previous two years. Validation of the model with a sample of forty-nine journals that have been published since 1961 showed that their recent JIF dynamics are well reflected in the data, but extrapolation of the current dynamics did not reflect the JIFs of these journals in the past. Average JIF is likely to reach a plateau in the future.

Essai de formulation de suppositoires et ovules à base de beurre de karité comme excipient
Authors: Djoko E. , Nague L.F. Tematio , Chougouo R. , Wouessidjewe D.
Published: October 2018

Le beurre de karité et le beurre de cacao présentent de grandes similitudes d’utilisation en cosmétique et en agroalimentaire. Nous avons voulu, dans la présente étude, rechercher les voies et moyens de l’utilisation du beurre de karité dans le secteur pharmaceutique pour la fabrication des suppositoires et des ovules. Des échantillons de beurre de karité produits dans la région nord du Cameroun ont été achetés sur le marché de Bafoussam (région ouest). Après l’analyse physique et chimique des échantillons, nous avons procédé à la recherche d’un améliorant qui, incorporé au beurre de karité, pourrait permettre d’obtenir un excipient compatible avec la fabrication des suppositoires et des ovules. Nous avons ainsi essayé successivement comme améliorant la cire blanche et la silice colloïdale aux taux respectifs de 1, 2, 4 et 6 %. Pour vérifier la pertinence de notre choix, nous avons fabriqué et soumis au contrôle deux médicaments témoins en utilisant d’une part le beurre de karité brut local et d’autre part le beurre de karité raffiné importé de France (laboratoire Aroma). À température ambiante, le beurre de karité brut était collant et huileux au toucher, avec une consistance pâteuse. Son point de fusion était de 34 °C. L’indice d’acide était de 1,56, l’indice d’ester de 170,98, l’indice de saponification de 181,84, l’indice de peroxyde de 2,90 et la densité de 0,90. Pour ce qui est de la recherche de l’améliorant, le meilleur résultat a été obtenu avec la silice colloïdale anhydre (AEROSIL® 200) à 4 %. Le nouvel excipient obtenu avait une consistance convenable et un point de fusion favorable (36 °C) à l’utilisation comme excipient pour suppositoires. Tous les médicaments témoins (suppositoires enfants de paracétamol dosés à 300 mg et ovules de métronidazole dosés à 500 mg) fabriqués aussi bien avec le beurre de karité brut local que le beurre de karité raffiné importé ont répondu favorablement aux tests pharmacotechniques prévus par la pharmacopée européenne. Ce résultat des tests pharmacotechniques nous permet de conclure que le beurre de karité renforcé par 4 % de silice colloïdale anhydre peut être valablement utilisé comme excipient pour suppositoires et ovules.
Кальциноз артерий сердца при коронарном атеросклерозе
Authors: Lutay M. I. , Golikova I. P. , Lomakovsky O. M. , Gavrilenko T. I.
Published: October 2018

The review shows the participation of smooth muscle cells, macrophages, bone marrow stem cells in the calcification of arteries, the effect of microcalcifications and diffuse calcium accumulation on the vulnerability of plaque. The relationship between calcification of coronary arteries and such major factors of cardiovascular risk as age, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes mellitus has been clarified. Data on the effect of inflammation on calcium deposition in the vascular wall and the effect of statins on the calcification of atherosclerotic plaques are presented. Assessment of the presence and severity of vascular calcification can significantly improve the accuracy of the diagnosis of atherosclerosis and the prognosis of its course. Calcification mechanisms may be targets for pharmacological interventions, having significant impact on the development and progression of atherosclerosis.
