Authors: BOZAN Serdar , EKİNCİ Abdurrahman
Published: January 2020

Bu çalışma; öğretmenlerin mesleklerinin ilk yıllarında sınıf yönetimine ilişkin yaşadıkları zorluklar, tecrübeler ile göreve yeni başlayan öğretmen adaylarına yönelik önerileri alınmaya çalışılmıştır. Bu amaçla 2016-2017 eğitim ve öğretim yılında, Mardin –Artuklu ilçesinde, farklı kademe, okul türü ve branştan amaçlı örnekleme tekniklerinden maksimum çeşitlilik örneklemesi tekniği ile belirlenen 64 öğretmen ile çalışma grubu oluşturulmuştur. Çalışmaya katılan öğretmenlere veri toplama formaları dağıtılarak toplanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler içerik analizine tabi tutu-larak, bulgular; tema, alt tema/görüş ve frekanslarla birlikte tablolar halinde sunulmuştur. Çalışma bulguları incelendiğinde öğretmenlerin sınıf yönetiminde genel olarak öğretmen yeterlilik/özelliklerinden kaynaklı (öğrenci dikkat-inin canlı tutulması, öğretmen alan yetersizliği...) öğrencil-erden kaynaklı (öğrencilerin derse hazırlıksız gelmesi, öğrenci hazırbulunuşluk durumları, belirlenen kuralların ihlal edilmesi...), velilerden kaynaklı (sosyal ve kültürel farklılıklar, veli tutumları), mekandan kaynaklı (fiziki şartların yetersizliği, sınıfların kalabalık olması) hususlarda sorun yaşadıkları görülmüştür. Göreve yeni başlayan öğretmenlere yönelik öneriler ise öğretmen yeterliliklerinin geliştirilmesi, uygun sınıf ikliminin oluşturulması, farklı yöntem-teknik kullanımı ve mekanın düzenlenmesi hu-suslarında olduğu görülmüştür.
Öğrencilerin Fen Bilimleri Dersinde Kullanılan Öğretim Teknikleri Tercihlerinin Ölçeklendirilmesi
Authors: DEMİRUS Kadriye Belgin , GELBAL Selahattin
Published: January 2020

Bu araştırmanın amacı, ortaokul
öğrencilerinin fen bilimleri dersinde başarıları açısından en yararlı olacağına
inandıkları sekiz öğretim tekniğini ölçeklendirmektir. Bu kapsamda uzman
görüşlerine göre teknikler belirlenmiştir. Araştırma verisi devlet okullarında
öğrenim gören 221 altıncı sınıf öğrencisinden toplanmıştır. Araştırmada
sınıflama yargılarına dayalı ardışık aralıklar yöntemiyle ölçekleme
yapılmıştır. Öğretim tekniklerinin (uyarıcıların) ölçek değerleri hesaplanarak
yorumlanmıştır. Ayrıca, Spearman-rho sıra korelasyon katsayısı kullanılarak
erkek ve kızların ölçek değerleri arasındaki ilişki belirlenmiştir. Öğrenciler
fen bilimleri dersinde başarılarına en büyük katkıyı yapan teknik olarak
birinci sırada deney tekniğini tercih etmişlerdir. Deney tekniğini sırasıyla
soru-cevap, gösteri, eğitsel video, gezi-gözlem ve grup çalışması tekniği takip
etmektedir.  Öğrenciler büyük grup
tartışması ve eğitsel oyun tekniklerinin ise fen bilimleri başarılarına en
küçük katkıyı yaptığını belirtmişlerdir. Korelasyon analizi kız ve erkeklerin
farklı tercih sırasına sahip olduğunu göstermiştir. Sonuçlara göre; öğrenciler
başarıyı çoğunlukla uygulamalı öğretim tekniklerine bağlamaktadır. Öğretim
tekniklerinin değeri nasıl uygulandıklarına bağlıdır; bu durum genellikle
öğretmen ve öğrenciler arasındaki ilişki tarafından belirlenir. Bundan sonraki
çalışmalarda öğretmen yeterliliği, öğrenme konusu ve tekniklerin kullanılma
sıklığı gibi konuların araştırılmasının öğrencilerin teknik tercihlerine daha
açıklayıcı bir değerlendirme getireceği beklenmektedir.

Authors: Soage Ana Belén
Published: January 2020

Islamic finance has grown rapidly over the past few decades to become a $2 trillion industry. It is based on the principles of the Sharî‘a (Islamic law), notably the prohibition of ribâ (interest) and the avoidance of activities considered harâm (unlawful), such as gambling or alcohol consumption. This paper explores the rationale behind the industry; its history; its instruments, products, and services; its appeal to both Muslims and non-Muslims; and the controversy that surrounds it.
The Malta case: distributed ledger technologies (dlts) and Islamic commercial law in the European union. A European controversy.
Authors: Heredia Yzquierdo Francisco Javier
Published: January 2020

The Shariʿa Law has a comprehensive vision of all human activities, including commerce. The peculiarities of the commercial legal system that derives from the legal principles of Shariʿa emanates from the concepts of forbidden or Haram and permissible or Halal. These principles are applied today to breakthrough commercial developments such as the Blockchain/Digital Ledger Technologies. On the other hand, there is a growing debate about the possibility of the application of Shariʿa Law in the Member States of the European Union, either for social reasons or for commercial reasons. The controversy and opportunities created in the smallest State of the Union, Malta, serves as a sample.

Published: January 2020

The present study investigated the unsafe impacts of sodium nitrite, sodium benzoate and their mixture which is utilized in fabricating of the food on some biochemical parameters in male albino rats. Rats (40) were divided into four groups as follows: group 1 used as the control, group II and III were treated orally with sodium nitrite nano2 (80 mg/kg BW) and sodium benzoate (SB) (200 mg/kg BW), respectively. Group IV was treated orally with a mixture of sodium nitrite and sodium benzoate. Rats took their respective doses every day for 8 weeks. The obtained results showed that sodium nitrite, sodium benzoate and their mixture (nano2 and SB)  initiated a diminished within in the activity of antioxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT, and GSH) within the kidney, while, MDA recorded a highly significant activity level within experimental groups. Urea and creatinine mean levels were were expanded within plasma of the experimental rats. In the histology of the kidney, sections appeared edema with few mononuclear leukocyte cellular infiltrations, shrinkage of glomeruli. The severity of these changes increased in the experimental group which treated by the mixture of sodium nitrite and sodium benzoate. Overexpression in p53 occurred in experimental groups that were treated by nano2, SB and their mixture. The present study concluded that the mixture of food additives can induce toxicity in the kidney of rats. It is obvious that food additives induced nephrotoxicity  within the kidney. It decreased the antioxidant enzymes (GSH, CAT, and SOD) and increased MDA. Increase tumor suppressor gene p53 in kidney tissue. Food added substances caused changes in biochemical parameters as in creatinine and urea. The utilization of food additives must be decreased. The presence of more than one type of food additives on our food and the usage of the mixture of sodium nitrite and sodium benzoate initiated changes in biochemical parameters and immune-histopathological changes.

Aims

Myocardial work is a new transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) parameter that enhances the information provided through left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain (GLS). Nothing is known about the impact of sacubitril/valsartan (LCZ696) therapy on myocardial work parameters. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of LCZ696 on LV myocardial work in heart failure patients.

Methods

Prospective evaluation of chronic heart failure patients with LV ejection fraction of 40% or less despite optimized standard of care therapy, in which LCZ696 therapy was started and no other heart failure treatment was expected to change. TTE study was performed before and 6 months after LCZ696 therapy. A semiautomated analysis of LV GLS was made and myocardial work estimated using custom software of the GE Vivid E95 ultrasound system.

Results

Of the 42 patients, 35 (83.3%) completed the 6 months, follow-up, since 2 (4.8%) patients died and 5 (11.9%) discontinued treatment due to adverse events. Mean age was 58.6 ± 11.1 years. TTE data showed a significant reduction in LV dimensions and atrial volumes, as well as an improvement in LV ejection fraction (29.3 vs. 35.2%, P = 0.001) and GLS (−7.0 vs. −8.9%, P = 0.001). Myocardial work had a significant increase in global constructive work (720.2 vs. 900.6 mmHg%, P = 0.016) and global work efficiency (78.6 vs. 86.6%, P = 0.027), with a nonsignificant decrease in global wasted work (150.2 vs. 136.8 mmHg%, P = 0.441) at 6 months.

Conclusion

LCZ696 therapy was associated with signs of reverse remodelling by usual TTE parameters and LV myocardial work at 6 months, including an increase in global constructive work and work efficiency.
A note on a property of the Gini coefficient
Authors: Genèev Marian
Published: January 2020

The scope of this note is a self-contained presentation of a mathematical method that enables us to give an absolute upper bound for the difference of the Gini coefficients

|G(σ1, . . ., σn) − G(γ1, . . . , γn)| ,

where (γ1, . . . , γn) represents the vector of the gross wages and (σ1, . . . , σn) represents the vector of the corresponding super-gross wages that is used in the Czech Republic for calculating the net wage. Since (as of June 2019) σi = 100 ⎡ 1.34 γi
/100⎤, the study of the above difference seems to be somewhat inaccessible for many economists. However, our estimate based on the presented technique implies that the introduction of the super-gross wage concept does not essentially affect the value of the Gini coefficient as sometimes expected.

A Deformed Quon Algebra
Authors: Randriamaro Hery
Published: January 2020

The quon algebra is an approach to particle statistics in order to provide a theory in which the Pauli exclusion principle and Bose statistics are violated by a small amount. The quons are particles whose annihilation and creation operators obey the quon algebra which interpolates between fermions and bosons. In this paper we generalize these models by introducing a deformation of the quon algebra generated by a collection of operators a
i,k, (i, k) ∈ ℕ* × [m], on an infinite dimensional vector space satisfying the deformed q-mutator relations

Sufficient oscillation conditions involving lim sup and lim inf for first-order differential equations with non-monotone deviating arguments and nonnegative coefficients are obtained. The results are based on the iterative application of the Grönwall inequality. Examples, numerically solved in MATLAB, are also given to illustrate the applicability and strength of the obtained conditions over known ones.
Time fractional Kupershmidt equation: symmetry analysis and explicit series solution with convergence analysis
Authors: Chauhan Astha , Arora Rajan
Published: January 2020

In this work, the fractional Lie symmetry method is applied for symmetry analysis of time fractional Kupershmidt equation. Using the Lie symmetry method, the symmetry generators for time fractional Kupershmidt equation are obtained with Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative. With the help of symmetry generators, the fractional partial differential equation is reduced into the fractional ordinary differential equation using Erdélyi-Kober fractional differential operator. The conservation laws are determined for the time fractional Kupershmidt equation with the help of new conservation theorem and fractional Noether operators. The explicit analytic solutions of fractional Kupershmidt equation are obtained using the power series method. Also, the convergence of the power series solutions is discussed by using the implicit function theorem.
STRATEGI KERAJAAN BATAK (TAMIANG) MENGHADAPI SERANGAN KESULTANAN ACEH DI ABAD KE-16 M
Authors: Soedewo Ery
Published: January 2020

The Batak reign was one of the countries mentioned by Portuguese written sources from the 16th century AD, once existing on the island of Sumatra. In the middle of the 16th century the sovereignty of the Batak Kingdom was threatened by the aggression of the Sultanate of Aceh to its neighboring countries on the island of Sumatra. Through a historical study of the main data in the form of two Portuguese records, Tome Pires and Ferna-O Mendes D. Pinto, it was revealed the potential strengths and strategies adopted by the Batak Kingdom in the face of the Aceh Sultanate's attack. The absence of fortifications as an element of state power, made the Batak Kingdom change its defense strategy from defensive to aggressive. The initiative of the attack carried out by the Batak forces was inseparable from the support of their allied countries. Although the alliance has been formed by the Kingdom of Batak with a number of countries, the glory belongs to the Sultanate of Aceh.

Published: January 2020

Maimun Palace is one of cultural heritage buildings in Medan that is interesting to study, because this building showed a mix style between traditional Malay and foreign architectural style. This research focuses on building as a representation of a cultural process, where the study is centered on the influence of foreign culture on the pillars and arches of the Maimun palace. This research use descriptive method and continued with contextual analysis. The conclusion of this study is that the pillars and arches of the Maimun Palace gained influence from the Moorish architectural style originating from the Ummayah dynasty in Spain (Andalusia) and also traditional Malay, but this influence was not a direct influence, because of the time context between the end of the Ummayah dynasty and the construction of the Maimun Palace it is not in accordance with. The influence of this style is assumed to be arised due to the use of European architect in the construction process.

The stakeholder analysis on the underwater archeological relics of Berakit village is an integrated part of the Research Program of Balai Arkeologi Medan, North Sumatra, entitled The Archeological Survey on the North Coast of Bintan Island, Bintan Regency, Riau Islands Province, that is conducted in 2018 in Berakit Village, Teluk Sebong District, Bintan Regency. The raised issue is the potential management of underwater relics in Berakit Village based on its stakeholder analysis. This study aims to obtain the policy of underwater archeological relics management based on the potential conflict that occurs among the stakeholders. The applied methods are in-depth interviews and Focused Group Discussion (FGD) with the stakeholders related to the underwater archeological relics in the research location. The stakeholders are classified into three groups, i.e. government, society, and academics. Issues on the underwater archeological relic management that give general descriptions about the potential conflicts of that archeological relic management are raised in the in-depth interviews and FGD. The potential is then analyzed using one of the conflict-analysis tools, i.e. onion analysis. The result of the stakeholder analysis shows a common need that becomes the knot of the conflict, i.e. the land utilization.

Published: January 2020

Abstract – The capstone Chemical Engineering Course

was used to pilot blended learning as part of an ongoing

digital learning initiative at the University of Alberta. A

blended learning course structure was designed,

implemented, evaluated, and redesigned using a

Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB)

Graduate Attribute (GA) based continuous improvement

process over a two-year pilot period. Graduate Attributes

were measured using student self-assessments, instructor

assessments, and through an arms length study on student

engagement and satisfaction conducted with student

cohorts. This contribution focuses on the results of

independent interviews conducted with student cohorts

during the pilot period, instructor interviews, and the data

analysis of the student satisfaction and engagement

surveys. Instructors were satisfied with the increased

interaction with students during class time even with

increased enrollment. Student satisfaction was higher for

students with lower self reported GPAs, and student

engagement improved in the second year of the pilot.

Details of these and other outcomes are presented and

discussed.

Authors: Gal Alicia M. , Hoskin Elizabeth , Davies Claire , Marriage Paul , Chan Adrian D. C.
Published: January 2020

Research and Education in Accessibility, Design, and Innovation (READi) is an interdisciplinary training program focusing on accessibility.  With the first year of the READi completed, this paper provides an overview of the design of the program and reflections from the program, as experienced by two of its trainees.  The training program appears to have increased the knowledge and skills of student trainees with regard to accessibility, while also enhancing many professional skills.  In addition, there appears to be affective learning, uplifting the thoughts, opinions, and feelings of accessibility and inclusion, that foster a culture of accessibility.  The program benefits from interdisciplinarity, collaborations with external stakeholders, engagement with real-world accessibility issues, and inclusion of people with disabilities.
A MULTIDISCIPLINARY LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR EDUCATION IN ACCESSIBILITY
Authors: Robertson Beth , Chan Adrian D. C.
Published: January 2020

Abstract – This paper argues that accessibility is both a complex issue and one in which engineering students would deeply benefit from learning more about due to mounting legislation and demand. Engineers can play an important role in creating a more inclusive society, yet questions remain as to how to instill knowledge of accessibility effectively in the classroom. 

To answer these questions, the authors explore and draw preliminary conclusions from a multidisciplinary learning experience they designed by which two upper level undergraduate courses from engineering and history were joined on separate occasions to provide some education in accessibility.

Although crafting and delivering this experience posed some challenges, the authors believe that this multidisciplinary approach generally enriched the learning experience for students, exposing them to a broader perspective, and in particular the historical context for accessibility initiatives and the lived experience of people with disabilities.
ENGINEERS-IN-RESIDENCE PROGRAMS AS A FRAMEWORK FOR INDUSTRY ENGAGEMENT IN UNDERGRADUATE ENGINEERING EDUCATION: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES
Authors: Friesen Marcia , Ibrahim Nadine , McSorley Grant , Mattucci Stephen
Published: January 2020

Industry engagement in undergraduate engineering education is a community-centred approach to learning that is hands-on and links the engineering theory to practice. This paper provides a review of existing Engineer-in-Residence (EIR) programs in Canada, including the University of Manitoba, Dalhousie University, University of Calgary, Ryerson University, University of Ottawa, and the University of Waterloo, as well as a brief international scan. We consider the motivations behind the institutions’ initiative to introduce EIR programs, different types of engagements, challenges, and opportunities. Programs are also examined externally relative to professional residency programs in business schools, among others, and relative to other forms of industry engagement in undergraduate engineering education. A brief overview of the history and role of EIRs within engineering programs is also presented. The paper will be of interest to those exploring a similar industry engagement framework at their institution, and offers a forward-looking perspective on ways to leverage the skills and experience of practicing engineers in preparing students to tackle the challenges of the future.
DEVELOPING FOR AND DEPLOYING WEBWORK ACROSS DISCIPLINES IN SECOND-YEAR ENGINEERING
Authors: D’Entremont Agnes G. , Harandi Negar M. , Verrett Jonathan
Published: January 2020

Online homework systems provide immediate feedback to students, enhancing student learning. However, paid online homework from textbook publishers or other sources systems can be costly and also raise concerns about student data privacy. WeBWorK is an open-source online homework system that can be setup on local servers, is free to students and has been in use since its development in the mid-1990s. Previous to this work around 200 engineering problems were openly shared on the WeBWorK platform, limiting opportunity for adoption.  In order to address this, we have developed, deployed, and evaluated nearly 1000 new engineering problems across a wide range of engineering topics at the second-year level. 

Student perceptions of WeBWorK have been evaluated using surveys at the start and end of courses where it is deployed. These surveys indicate that students generally prefer the WeBWorK system to other online homework systems they have used. Surveys also indicate that students were generally motivated to both attempt and complete all assigned problems that contributed to their grade, and believed WeBWorK enhanced their learning. The creation of error-free WeBWorK questions was difficult, however the hope is that the ability to re-use and share these questions ensures they provide a higher value over the long term than paper-based homework problems.
APPRENTISSAGE ACTIF FONDÉ SUR LA CLASSE INVERSÉE DANS UN COURS DE GÉNIE MÉCANIQUE
Authors: Terriault Patrick
Published: January 2020

Cet article présente un projet de recherche dont le but est d’étudier l’efficacité de la classe inversée implantée dans un cours obligatoire de génie mécanique. L’inversion du cours a été motivée par la passivité des étudiants durant les séances de cours magistraux et par les apprentissages en surface qu’ils réalisent. Pour remédier à cette problématique, le cours a été inversé en prenant en considération les déterminants de la motivation, certains éléments de la psychologie cognitive ainsi que la taxonomie de Bloom. Après avoir développé du nouveau matériel pédagogique, la classe inversée a été testée pour la première fois à l’hiver 2019. Les résultats préliminaires sont encourageants, car les étudiants se sont montrés satisfaits du cours lorsqu’ils se sont prononcés par un court questionnaire, par l’évaluation institutionnelle et lors d’un entretien de groupe. Les travaux se poursuivent vers une étude rigoureuse qui, à l’automne 2020, comparera l’efficacité d’un même cours offert en classe traditionnelle et en classe inversée.
REFLECTING ON THE USE OF DESIGN METHODOLOGY IN ENGINEERING DESIGN EDUCATION
Authors: Li S. , Gress G. , Ziadé P.
Published: January 2020

In the teaching of engineering design, it may be common to use design methodology (DM), as documented in several textbooks, in the course delivery.  However, considerable drawbacks could be observed in our case when DM is taken as the major guidance for a capstone design course. We argue that DM tends to prescribe some context-free methods and procedures, which cannot be easily applied by students to their capstone design projects. At the same time, we observe that students need support to characterize a design problem, integrate technical knowledge in design activities and verify design ideas. These aspects require analytical and critical thinking, where DM may not be particularly helpful for students. In the five-year journey of deemphasizing DM in a capstone design course, we have explored and examined various pedagogical approaches such as online modules, design labs and peer evaluations.  Without the teaching of DM, the pedagogical strategy needs to be carefully planned to deliver specific learning in engineering design.
DESIGN DAYS BOOT CAMP 2.0: IMPROVEMENTS AND CONNECTIONS TO CEAB GRADUATE ATTRIBUTES
Authors: Howcroft Jennifer , Ivkovic Igor , Borland Matthew J. , Gorbet Maud
Published: January 2020

Engineering design is a critical skill that all engineering students are expected to learn and is often the focus of final year capstone projects and first-year cornerstone projects. In the Systems Design Engineering Department at the University of Waterloo, engineering design is introduced to the students during an intense two-day Design Days Boot Camp. Design Days was originally conceived of and run in Fall 2016. The Fall 2018 version, Design Days 2.0, included substantial improvements focused on adding two additional design activities and a writing activity, strengthening the connection with first year content, and providing a greater variety of team experiences. The methods of achieving the nine intended learning outcomes of Design Days 2.0 are discussed and connected to CEAB graduate attributes. This demonstrates that meaningful learning can be achieved during a two-day boot camp that will starts students on the path towards professional engineering. Other departments are encouraged to use the presented intended learning outcomes, graduate attributes connections, and Design Days 2.0 descriptions as a template for their own design boot camp. Finally, Design Days 2.0 inspired ideas for further improvements including the incorporation of a software-focused design activity, adding budgetary constraints, and providing an opportunity for student reflection.

The capstone design project is ubiquitous in engineering programs worldwide, and is seen by students as the single most important activity in their undergraduate careers. Staff and faculty at the University of Waterloo identified three issues with the current capstone process: students are unaware of industrial suppliers, they lack multi-disciplinary exposure, and they often struggle to identify "good" needs for their projects.

The Engineering IDEAs Clinic, with support from instructors and staff from across Engineering, developed a conference for students to address these issues. EngCon – aimed at students in third/fourth year – brought students together with their peers from other programs, instructors from across the Faculty, and representatives from suppliers (both external industry, and internal support units) with the goal of improving their capstone projects.

This paper presents the design and implementation of EngCon in both 2017 and 2018 with lessons learned from offering a large coordinated set of workshops aimed at students as they enter their capstone design projects.
GATHERING THE VOICE OF THE STUDENTS FOR ACCREDITATION PURPOSES THROUGH THEIR DEFINITION OF “ENGINEER”
Authors: Doré Sylvie , Terriault Patrick , Belleau Christian
Published: January 2020

This paper proposes a novel indirect assessment method to capture the voice of the students for program accreditation purposes. It consists of asking students, individually and then in teams, to draw up a list of keywords they associate with being an engineer and to write a formal definition of engineer. The raw data (list of keywords and definitions) is closed coded for the twelve graduate attributes (GAs) defined by Engineers Canada. First-year, mid-program and last-year students participated in the study in order to verify change of perception as students advance through the program. Results are compared for individual and teams, as well as for the different student populations. Sufficient insight into the program’s contribution to the development of graduate attributes in its student population (or apparent lack thereof), information that can be used for continual program improvement, was gained to warrant internal validity of the method.
Regres czy rozwój lokalnej działalności handlowo-usługowej w najstarszej części Nowej Huty?
Authors: Płaziak Monika , Szymańska Anna Irena
Published: January 2020

Niniejsze opracowanie zawiera wyniki badań empirycznych prowadzonych w latach 2014–2016 na terenie dzielnicy Krakowa – Nowej Huty, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem jej najstarszej części, obejmującej 25 osiedli, zamieszkanych przez prawie 50 tys. ludzi. Badania dotyczyły stanu funkcjonowania handlu i usług na terenie tej dzielnicy, a w ich ramach przeprowadzono wywiady z wykorzystaniem kwestionariusza ankiety z ponad 2200 konsumentami oraz 112 przedsiębiorcami. Dokonano także inwentaryzacji ponad 500 podmiotów gospodarczych. Zasadniczym celem niniejszego artykułu stała się diagnoza stanu funkcjonowania handlu i usług na terenie Nowej Huty zarówno z perspektywy konsumentów, jak i przedsiębiorców. Wskazano w nim czynniki wpływające na upadek lub rozwój przedsiębiorstw handlowo-usługowych w tej dzielnicy, przy czym czynniki te podzielono na dwie grupy. Pierwsza grupa to uwarunkowania demograficzne i społeczne, druga grupa – otoczenie rynkowe. Wyniki analiz potwierdziły istotny wpływ starzenia się społeczności i stanu jej zasobności finansowej na preferencje miejsca dokonywania zakupów na terenie Nowej Huty. Po wejściu w okres transformacji ustrojowej wiele nowohuckich sklepów branżowych oraz podmiotów usługowych, będących na wysokim poziomie, upadło albo zmieniło rodzaj oferowanego asortymentu, świadczonych usług czy też charakter prowadzonej działalności. Dodatkowym czynnikiem przyczyniającym się do regresu drobnej lokalnej działalności handlowo-usługowej w centralnej części Nowej Huty stało się wkroczenie dużego, najczęściej obcego kapitału, przejawiające się w lokalizacji na tym obszarze sklepów wielkopowierzchniowych dyskontów, sieci spożywczych i drogerii oraz banków i punktów sprzedaży usług telefonii komórkowej. Te formy działalności handlowo-usługowej, przez swoją konkurencyjną i różnorodną ofertę, spowodowały w opinii badanych przedsiębiorców wyraźny kryzys lokalnej działalności. Tendencji tej wydają się opierać jedynie duże, dogodnie ulokowane place targowe – Bieńczycki Plac Targowy i CH „Tomex” – z Nową Hutą nierozerwalnie związane poprzez tradycję handlu płodami rolnymi lub „bazarowy” charakter. Są to miejsca nie tylko dokonywania zakupów, lecz także spotkań towarzyskich, zwłaszcza starszych mieszkańców.

Operation of Small Businesses in Open-Air Markets in Poland Based on the Example of Kraków
Authors: Płaziak Monika , Szymańska Anna Irena
Published: January 2020

Open-air markets are traditionally associated with the landscape of Polish towns and cities. In the beginning, they were in the very centre of the city – most often in the market around which the lives of the locals and the newcomers concentrated. With the development of urban areas, open-air markets were moved out of the city centre. They were transformed, though for a long time, also after the Second World War, they were the place of trade primarily in agricultural and craft products. During the People’s Republic of Poland, citizens were given the opportunity to buy goods not available in stores. Open-air market places gained a new meaning at the beginning of the socio-political transformation after 1989. They became the places of flourishing small businesses and were less and less associated with the sale of agricultural products and more and more with diverse assortments such as any groceries, clothing, chemicals and cosmetics. At present, in the period of the global economy, which in urban areas is typically expressed through the diminishing of the local economy related to small businesses in favour of the global economy introducing supermarkets, hypermarkets and chain outlets, the functioning of open-air markets takes place in the conditions of increased competition. It consists in particular in price competition and competition in the form of a large assortment of goods in stores mentioned above. As shown in the article, also entrepreneurs conducting business activity at the open-air markets in Kraków feel this competition. It manifests itself in the lack of a sense of stabilisation of small businesses. A large group of the surveyed entrepreneurs are also unable to sustain themselves only from this activity.
Entrepreneurship in School in the Conditions of the Education System Reform in Poland – a Voice in the Discussion on the Directions of Change
Authors: Rachwał Tomasz
Published: January 2020

Preceded by the debate, the 2016 implementation of the school reform in Poland brought serious organisational and program changes. These changes also concern entrepreneurship education, therefore the subject of the article is the discussion on the proposals of the Ministry of Education regarding changes to the school system, in the context of yet another comprehensive organisational and program reform of the Polish education system. The primary goal of the paper is to present the direction of change, based on the current research and discussions conducted by various forums. The author’s claims in this regard are based not only on his reflections but also on the voices presented by the participants of Kraków entrepreneurship conferences and conventions of teachers, as well as by the authors of the papers included in the previous volumes of this annual. Under the limited number of hours dedicated to the teaching of entrepreneurship in post-primary schools in general education, that is, compulsory for all pupils, the most important is the careful selection of objectives and content of entrepreneurship education. The article concludes with the presentation of the essential conditions influencing the success of the implementation of changes, mainly related to the appropriate preparation of entrepreneurship teachers.
Proces motywacji pracowników sektora publicznego w organizacji edukacyjnej
Authors: Pełka Elżbieta
Published: January 2020

Celem artykułu jest próba usystematyzowania wiedzy na temat ograniczonych możliwości motywowania pracowników sektora publicznego w organizacji edukacyjnej. Tekst powstał na podstawie analizy literatury oraz bezpośredniej obserwacji. Motywacja podwładnych jest procesem trudnym i złożonym. Jego efektywność w dużej mierze zależy od kompatybilności założonych celów organizacji z celami zespołu pracowniczego. Istotną kwestią jest trafne rozpoznanie czynników, które priorytetowo traktowane są przez zespół czy też jednostki. Na podstawie przeanalizowanej literatury można stwierdzić, że mimo wielu badań i analiz z zakresu motywacji pracowników problem ten w organizacjach edukacyjnych jest marginalizowany i brakuje nowatorskich oraz skutecznych rozwiązań. Konsekwencje dotychczas przyjętych systemów i praktykowanych działań motywacyjnych wskazują na konieczność przeprowadzenia zmian. Warto w związku z tym przemyśleć poszerzenie instrumentów motywacyjnych o te sprawdzone i wykorzystywane w organizacjach gospodarczych. Jest to oczywiście możliwe, o ile pozwalają przepisy regulujące wynagrodzenie pracowników w sektorze publicznym. System motywacyjny winien być przejrzysty i czytelny oraz wykorzystywać nieobligatoryjnie narzędzia pozafinansowe. Prawidłowo opracowany i zaimplementowany system motywacji powinien działać stymulująco na pracowników organizacji w sektorze publicznym.

Authors: Mrozińska Agnieszka
Published: January 2020

Knowledge-based economy and cooperation in the conditions of globalisation and the economic integration result in shifts in the job market, which became the cause of development in higher education in Poland. Suitability of the offer of Polish universities to the demands of future employers represents an embodiment of the educational aspirations of future employees. The aim of the article is to analyse the processes that occur in the structure of the studies at universities in correlation to the changes visible on the labour market in individual voivodeships. The study shows the changes that took place in the structure of the education fields chosen by students as well as in the structure of the labour market. It uses measures for structural analyses and examines the intensity, rate and stability of the adaptation of these structures in the years 2008–2014. The study shows differences in the characteristics of adaptive processes in the fields of study and structure of labour markets in voivodeships in Poland.
Rola szkolnictwa zawodowego w kształtowaniu lokalnego rynku pracy w Gdyni w latach 2000–2015
Authors: Anisiewicz Renata
Published: January 2020

Jednym z uwarunkowań rozwoju przedsiębiorczości jest poziom wykształcenia ludności. W artykule zostały przeanalizowane zmiany, jakie zaszły w edukacji w Gdyni w latach 2000–2015 oraz ich wpływ na kształtowanie lokalnego rynku pracy. Szczególną uwagę zwrócono na kształcenie zawodowe. Uwzględniono oddziaływanie czynników demograficznych oraz reformy szkolnictwa wdrożonej w Polsce na początku XXI w. Zmiana modelu edukacji w kierunku kształcenia ogólnego, a następnie wyższego miała ograniczyć napływ absolwentów do grupy bezrobotnych, znamienny dla początku transformacji ustrojowej (lata 90.). Grupę tę tworzyli wówczas głównie absolwenci szkół zawodowych o kwalifikacjach niedopasowanych do zmieniającego się rynku pracy. Utrwalenie nowego modelu edukacji, pogłębione dodatkowo przez niekorzystne trendy demograficzne, zmniejszyło udział absolwentów z wykształceniem zawodowym wśród bezrobotnych w Gdyni w późniejszych latach, ale wpłynęło także na deficyt kadr, zwłaszcza z wykształceniem zasadniczym na lokalnym rynku pracy. Mimo zmian struktury kierunków kształcenia dostosowywanych do aktualnych potrzeb rynku pracy oraz podejmowania współpracy z przyszłymi pracodawcami (np. przez tworzenie klas patronackich) niekorzystne trendy pogłębiają się. Niedobór pracowników z wykształceniem zawodowym na rynku pracy potwierdzają statystyki struktury bezrobotnych w Gdyni, wśród których stanowią oni najmniejszą grupę, w przeciwieństwie do absolwentów szkół wyższych reprezentujących jedną trzecią osób pozostających bez pracy.

Zjawisko tworzenia klas patronackich nie jest wyłącznie domeną zachodnich ośrodków edukacyjnych. Obserwujmy je również w polskich szkołach. Niektóre z instytucji obejmują patronatem nie tylko pojedyncze klasy, lecz także całe gimnazja, licea. Przykładem tego typu placówki oświatowej jest Zespół Szkół Akademickich Politechniki Wrocławskiej włączony w struktury Politechniki Wrocławskiej. Niniejszy artykuł ma na celu zaprezentowanie ZSAPWr oraz przybliżenie zjawiska szkół patronackich. Przedstawiono w nim proces powstania szkoły wraz z jej krótką historią. Ponadto wskazano na bogate wyposażenie dydaktyczne szkoły i wyróżniono najistotniejsze dla misji placówki przedmioty objęte programem nauczania. Niniejszy tekst uwzględnia ofertę zajęć dodatkowych oraz formy aktywności pozalekcyjnych w całości procesu kształcenia ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem poziomu ponadgimnazjalnego. Autorzy akcentują silne związki między ZSAPWr a Politechniką Wrocławską. Istotną kwestią pozostaje akademickość szkoły jako główne kryterium analityczne. Pod tym kątem zbadano rzeczywisty poziom oddziaływania instytucji patronackiej na strukturę oraz środowisko Zespołu Szkół Akademickich Politechniki Wrocławskiej.
