Formação de professores no Curso de Pedagogia da UFBA e a atuação docente na perspectiva inclusiva
Authors: Uzêda Sheila de Quadros , Barbosa Regiane da Silva
Published: September 2020

O presente artigo resulta de uma pesquisa realizada por meio de estudo descritivo de caráter qualitativo que tem como objetivo discutir a formação de professores no curso de pedagogia da UFBA para atuar com estudantes público-alvo da educação especial (PAEE). A pesquisa foi realizada considerando a grade curricular do curso e a opinião de estudantes sobre o tema, obtida a partir da aplicação de questionário. As respostas foram organizadas em categorias e demonstram que os estudantes em formação consideram que a inclusão escolar é relevante, mas para efetivá-la é necessário investir em formação de qualidade e a concentração do tema em poucos componentes curriculares não contribui com o preparo desses profissionais. Diante disso, os estudantes pontuaram a necessidade de oferta de mais componentes e/ou a transversalização do tema na grade curricular, além de oportunidades de relacionar teoria e prática por meio de estágios na área, o que diminuiria a sensação de despreparo e medo, apontadas pelos participantes da pesquisa e também por professores que atuam em escolas de educação básica, como demonstram outros estudos sobre o tema. Evidencia-se a necessidade de repensarmos a formação de professores pedagogos, preparando-os para atuar e consolidar a inclusão escolar.

Authors: Lu Jintao , Ren Licheng , Zhang Chong , Wang Chunyan , Petkeviciute Nijole , Streimikis Justas
Published: September 2020

Research background: There are many scientific papers dealing with the challenges of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) implementation at the company level. However, there are few studies dealing with gender difference between female and male managers in the perception towards CSR initiative.
Purpose of the article: To understand the differences between male and female managers? behaviour in the process of CSR implementation in companies.
Methods: A survey of managers at different levels in Lithuanian Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) was performed in 2019.  The study focused on the female and male respondents? answers to the participation in CSR implementation, their perception about CSR implementation and the most important issues for them in that process.
Findings & Value added: The results of the study indicated that, compared to their male counterparts, female respondents highlighted different factors having impact on successful implementation of CSR initiatives. Female managers were more convinced to the benefits of CSR practices than their male counter-parts. The ?Communication skills? were defined as the most important for implementing CSR strategy for the females and ?Understanding of CSR strategy? for males. For most of the female managers, ?Sociality? was the most important competence necessary for a leader, followed by ?Global and holistic thinking?, however, the male respondents were more doubtful about all the necessary competencies for a sustainability leader. The main theoretical value added of the paper is elicitation of the differences between male and female managers in the perception of CSR initiatives and necessary skills of a leader for implementing these initiatives in SMEs. The practical and managerial im-plications  were also provided for the strengthening of the CSR activities in SMEs.
Health Insurance Deepening and Its Impact on Maternal Healthcare Demand in Private Hospitals in Kenya
Authors: George N. Mose  , Joseph Abuga Orayo
Published: September 2020

Promotion of maternal healthcare services through the expansion of health insurance coverage has been a core strategy that has been adopted in the reduction of maternal and child mortalities in Kenya. In this study, we seek to establish how health insurance coverage and benefits influence the demand for maternal health utilization in private hospitals in Kenya. The study utilized the latest Kenya Demographic Household Survey 2014 data to estimate the relationship. The binary probit regression model was employed in estimation. From the findings, only 15 percent of mothers were enrolled in a health insurance plan, whereas 14 percent of the women reported to have attended antenatal clinics in private health facilities, and 13 percent benefited from skilled delivery in private healthcare facilities. Results further revealed that health insurance ownership led to a significant increase in the likelihood of utilizing maternal health care services in private hospitals in Kenya. Similarly, age of the mother, marital status, birth order, higher education level, all wealth index categories, and employment status were cofactors associated significantly with use of healthcare services. It was concluded that the advent and increase of health insurance coverage is associated with a significant rise in demand of maternal healthcare services in private hospitals. This study argues that the current health subsidies would be more effective if they were channeled through health insurance with wider coverage of private hospitals. The study recommends reforms in policies and guidelines governing insurance coverage, which we argue would significantly bring down the cost of insurance coverage, thus become more accessible to more Kenyans.
Gendered (in)visibility in digital media contexts
Authors: Wilhelm Claudia
Published: September 2020

In digital media environments, gendered inequalities can be observed on the level of representation and participation in online discussions and digital communities as well as regarding the prevalence of gender norms in self-presentations, and power relations in social interactions. The #MeToo debate exemplifies how gendered inequalities become visible in social media but also reveals the increasing hostility against women online. Drawing on the concept of digital visibility and informed by theoretical perspectives on gendered digital visibility from gender and feminist research and media and communication studies, the article reviews current research and identifies three distinct processes that characterize gendered digital visibility: (1) replication, (2) reinforcement, and (3) resilience. In doing so, the article proposes a taxonomy of research on gendered digital visibility. Findings highlight the ambivalence of women’s participation in online discussions as well as the replication and reinforcement of gender norms through digital technology. Moreover, interrelatedness of these processes and implications for future research are discussed.

No epidemiological data exist so far on invasive mucormycosis (IM) in Polish hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) and pediatric hemato-oncology (PHO) centers. The objective of this study was to analyze the incidence, clinical course, therapy, and outcome of IM in pediatric and adult patients undergoing HCT and children with hemato-oncological diseases in Poland. A total number of 12425 at-risk patients were retrospectively analyzed, and the period between 2010 and 2019 was included. Patients were analyzed in three groups: nontransplant children with malignancies, children undergoing HCT, and adults after HCT. Twenty-one patients were diagnosed with IM, including 15 children (10 non-HCT, 5 HCT) and 6 HCT adults. Proven IM was confirmed in 18 patients, probable in 2 patients, and possible in 1 patient. Proven IM was diagnosed in 7.1% of all patients with invasive fungal diseases (IFDs), including 8.1% among PHO patients, 5.4% among pediatric HCT patients, and 7.0% among adult HCT patients. Clinically, pneumonia was diagnosed in 10 (47.6%) patients, involvement of the paranasal sinuses was found in 3 (14.3%) patients, gastrointestinal disease was noted in 2 (9.5%) patients, and disseminated mucormycosis was found in 6 (28.6%) patients. The probability of overall survival in IM patients was 0.50 ± 0.11. Infection-related mortality (IRM) was 10% for pediatric nontransplant IM patients and 82% for transplant IM (pediatric + adult) patients (p = 0.004). Among the transplant patients, all adults died within 120 days. IRM for pediatric HCT patients was 60% (p = 0.038). The only prognostic factor was HCT, which adversely influenced survival in IM patients.
An Bayesian Learning and Nonlinear Regression Model for Photovoltaic Power Output Forecasting
Authors: Gao Wengen , Chen Qigong
Published: September 2020

Photovoltaic power system is taking a significant percentage of power system and the demands for accurate forecasting of the power outputs is surging. In prior works, the forecasting problem was formulated as a regression problem, however, which most cannot guarantee that the forecasted outputs is nonnegative. To solve this problem, we proposed a novel probabilistic model by using nonlinear regression and Bayesian learning method. In the paper, we present the detailed theoretical derivations and interpretations. The simulation results show the validity and feasibility of the proposed algorithm by comparing with the traditional SVM algorithm.
Staphylococcus spp. from wild mammals in Aragón (Spain): antibiotic resistance status
Authors: García Leticia Alcalá , Torres Carmen , López Antonio Rezusta , Rodríguez Carmelo Ortega , Espinosa Jesús Orós , Valencia Carmen Simón
Published: September 2020

Introduction

Antimicrobial resistance is a global health threat. It has been studied in humans and domestic animals, but there is a lack of data on wild animals. The objective of this study is the elucidation of its patterns in Staphylococcus spp. isolated from wild mammals of the Autonomous Community of Aragón (Spain).

Material and Methods

A total of 103 mammals (Artiodactyla, Carnivora, Chiroptera, Erinaceomorpha, and Lagomorpha) were studied. A recovery centre provided 32 and hunting 71. Nasal and faecal samples yielded 111 staphylococci, which were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization–time of flight mass spectrometry. A susceptibility test to 11 antibiotics was carried out, and statistical analysis was performed.

Results

Some differences were detected in bacterial prevalence depending on how the mammal fed. Artiodactyla, mainly hunted, were predisposed to carry coagulase-positive staphylococci. The staphylococci species recovered were resistant to at least two classes of antibiotics, and were disseminated in all of the geographical areas studied.

Conclusion

Resistant staphylococci are widely distributed in the wild mammals in the areas of the study, but the resistance quantified in them is lower than that to be expected if the use of antibiotics in farms had a direct influence on the wildlife and its environment. On the other hand, resistance to antibiotics restricted to human use was widely disseminated in various wild animal species.
Clickbait as a Linguistic and Cultural Phenomenon (Based on Russian-, French-, and English-language Material)
Authors: Buriakovskaia V. A. , Dmitrieva O. A.
Published: September 2020

This article considers a speciﬁc type of headline that is common in modern mass media discourse, namely clickbait. The novelty of the research is in the object of study and the material represented in three languages – Russian, English and French. Clickbait as a phenomenon has not been investigated before, nor has its national and cultural speciﬁcity in the three analysed linguistic cultures; this fact determines the relevance of the study. The analysis of the language material was based on the hypothetical-deductive method, the continuous sampling method, and on stylistic and contextual analysis. The purpose of this work is to identify the content and stylistic characteristics of clickbait in the Russian -, English- and French-speaking information space. Initially, the English-language lexeme “clickbait” was borrowed into Russian and French, where it received additional nominations. In the Russian language, this word is almost assimilated as a language unit. The authors believe that clickbait is a type of a manipulative inﬂuence exerted on the mass audience, the essence of which is to attract and retain the recipient’s attention using false or dubious information. To this end, a variety of language and audio-visual tools are used that allow us to assign clickbait to a creolized text type. The authors believe that clickbait is a global phenomenon in the modern information space, whose national and cultural speciﬁcity is determined by a national “agenda.” The article is addressed to philologists, psychologists and sociologists. The research results may also be useful for undergraduate and postgraduate students specializing in the Humanities.
German speech manipulation in texts about Russia
Authors: Andreev N. I.
Published: September 2020

This article discusses the features of speech manipulation on the Russian theme in modern German political texts. The need to write such a work is due to a number of factors.

First, the authors note that this topic, despite its relevance in the context of increasing information warfare, especially over the past five years, is not sufficiently described. The problem of speech violence is practically not considered in the theoretical part of the relevant dissertations, scientific articles and textbooks. In the exercises for students on abstracting, listening and socio-political translation there are no tasks related to the detection and analysis of speech manipulation means, speech demagogy or speech aggression in foreign media.

Secondly, in the presence of a large amount of literature, one way or another devoted to the problem of media manipulation, it is possible to find relatively little linguistic research of foreign texts.

And, thirdly, it should be noted that there are theoretical gaps in this area of research, in particular, the lack of generally accepted points of view on the classification, the terminological name of speech strategies, tactics and techniques used for the purpose of covert introduction into the consciousness of the addressee of the necessary information to the manipulator, which complicates the analysis of speech facts of manipulative influence.

With regard to the German political language, the authors of this article pay attention to the manipulative linguistic techniques of the German media in publications on Russian (and in fact - anti-Russian) topics, on the extralinguistic background, especially related to the reunification of the Crimea with Russia and the conflict in the Donbass. German media, ranging from the relatively respectable newspaper “Süddeutsche Zeitung“ to the Boulevard “Bild” write and talk about Russia either in a bad light or nothing at all.

Thus, a pejorative function directed at a negative characterization of our state without any serious argument comes to the fore. Since different types of language manipulation require contexts of a greater length for their demonstration, the authors confine their material to the adduced one.
British state, public and political figures of the late 20th - early 21st century in rhyming slang
Authors: Stepanyan K. , Gorshunov Y. , Gorshunova E.
Published: September 2020

The article aims at providing an adequate linguistic and sociocultural description of rhyming slang based on the use of the names of prominent British government and public figures and politicians, who were widely represented in the British media at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, and are thus included in modern cultural collective memory of the carriers of the English lingual culture. The rhymes contain precedents of onyms − the personal names of well-known, fashionable, popular, or scandalous politicians. The noted tendency of the preferred creation of new rhymes, exploiting the precedent onyms, has become dominant in the development of rhyming slang at the turn of the century. The emergence of rhyming slang units based on the use of the precedent names of politicians and statesmen is a relatively new and insufficiently studied phenomenon while onomastic rhymes that exploit the names of celebrities from the world of cinema, pop music, popular culture and sports are more common and are better studied. The article contains the rhymes that have not yet been recorded in authoritative slang dictionaries. They surely deserve linguistic and sociocultural descriptions.

The authors focused on a special and research-promising layer of vocabulary that reflects the sociocultural and historical items in the context of the so-called cultural literacy and is of certain value from the point of view of culture-oriented linguistics, cross-cultural communication and the general study of culture.

The results of the research can be useful and interesting for specialists who develop topics of cross-cultural communication, culture-oriented linguistics, linguistic culturology, euphemy, contrastive linguistics of the English and Russian languages.

Social Support Impact on Academic Self-Concept of Students with Special Needs
Authors: Pratiwi Fitria Dwi , Mangunsong Frieda Maryam
Published: September 2020

Introduction.  This study examined the theoretical model of peer social support’s mediation in the effect that social skills have on the academic self-concept of students with special needs in inclusive primary schools. Students’ academic self-concept was measured using the Academic Self-Concept Questionnaire, social skills using the Social Skills Improvement System, and peer social support using the Social Support Questionnaire for Children. Respondents were 292, 4th–6th grade students with special needs in inclusive primary schools in five areas of Jakarta Province. Method.  This study uses quantitative and non-experimental research methods to reveal the relationship among three variables: peer social support, social skills, and academic self-concept. Results.  The results showed that peer social support mediates social skills’ effect on the academic self-concept of students with special needs in inclusive primary schools. These results showed that through peer social support, social skills positively affect the academic self-concept of students with special needs in inclusive primary schools. However, peer social support is only a partial mediator, meaning that social skills remain strong and significantly and directly affect the academic self-concept of students with special needs in inclusive primary schools. Discussion and Conclusion.  These findings suggest that students’ social skills and peer social support should be the primary focus of school personnel for improving the academic self-concept of students with special needs in inclusive primary schools.
Student-oriented teaching practices and educational equality: a population-based study

Published: September 2020

Introduction. Evidence has remained scarce whether teaching practices might be linked to students’ educational equality. This study investigated (i) whether student-oriented teaching practices are associated with students’ learning outcomes in mathematics, and (ii) whether student-oriented teaching might increase equality in learning outcomes between students with different backgrounds. Method.  We used the Finnish PISA 2012 data (N=5052-5660) that provides a nationally representative sample of the Finnish 15-year-old students. The data were analyzed using structural equation models. Results.  Frequent student-oriented teaching practices were associated with students’ weaker learning outcomes in mathematics. The effect of frequent student-oriented teaching practices was especially negative among students with risky backgrounds (i.e. risky family structure, low family wealth, low maternal education, immigrant status, student’s previous truancy behavior at school). Our additional analyses showed that also frequent inquiry-based teaching practices were related to weaker learning outcomes in science. Discussion and Conclusion.  In conclusion, student-oriented teaching practices appear to be linked with students’ weaker learning outcomes in comprehensive school. Student-oriented teaching may expand the gaps in learning outcomes between students coming from different backgrounds.
Promoción de la prosocialidad y la justicia social en educación primaria: una experiencia preliminar
Authors: Albalá Genol Miguel Ángel , Guerra Gamero Jesús
Published: September 2020

Introducción. Desde hace décadas se ha estudiado el concepto de Justicia Social en la educación y las posibles implicaciones que tiene como herramienta para promover sociedades más prosociales. A partir del modelo multidimensional de Justicia Social de Nancy Fraser, se diseñó un programa para promover la prosocialidad en estudiantes de 6º curso de educación primaria. Los principales objetivos de estudio fueron conocer las representaciones de Justicia Social que tenía el alumnado y promover la prosocialidad mediante la implementación preliminar de un programa socioeducativo diseñado. Método. La metodología se basó en talleres eminentemente participativos e inspirados en el aprendizaje por cooperación. Después de una evaluación inicial de las representaciones de la Justicia Social del alumnado, se realizó una implementación preliminar de un programa socioeducativo diseñado en 84 estudiantes de diversos centros educativos de Madrid (España). Dicho programa se estructuró en tres módulos principales: 1) Descubriendo la Justicia Social; 2) Habilidades para descubrir y solucionar injusticias sociales; y 3) Creando un marco común de Justicia Social para convivir prosocialmente. Al finalizar el programa fueron evaluados cuantitativamente los cambios producidos en las representaciones de Justicia Social del alumnado. Resultados. Los resultados mostraron mejoras en las representaciones de Justicia Social evaluadas al inicio del programa preliminar, así como, en la capacidad de identificación de injusticias sociales derivadas de los diversos trilemas planteados. Además, se evidenciaron mejoras significativas en la mayoría de los trilemas evaluados, mostrando el alumnado una mayor prosocialidad en el abordaje de estos. Así, el programa socioeducativo se mostró eficaz independientemente del sexo y el tipo de centro educativo al que pertenecía el alumnado participante. Discusión y conclusiones. En base a esta experiencia preliminar aplicada se discuten los alcances de la metodología socioeducativa de cara a promover la prosocialidad mediante los principios basados en la Educación para la Justicia Social. Se concluye que programas de este tipo pueden promover una convivencia más prosocial del alumnado fuera y dentro de las aulas, fomentando en estos una mayor comprensión de las injusticias vividas por otras personas. Por último, exponen algunas limitaciones detectadas y posibles mejoras para la implementación definitiva del programa en el futuro.

Published: September 2020

The advent of information and communication technologies (ICTs) has revolutionised how library resources are made and transmitted to end-users. It has effectively improved the standard of education and research in tertiary institutions worldwide by providing various essential resources, including e-books, journals and databases. However, it has been observed that students still abstain from making the best usage of the digital library, instead using search engines rather than institutional digital libraries. This study investigated the factors influencing the behavioural intention of postgraduate (PG) students to use electronic information resources (EIRs). The Unified Theory of Acceptance of Technology (UTAUT) model was adopted. A cross-sectional research design was used to assess the factors influencing the use of EIRs. A sample of 362 PG students was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation approach. Data were collected from participants via the administration of 400 copies of the questionnaire. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and the Covariance-Based Structural Equation Modelling (CB-SEM) were used to analyse data collected. The findings revealed that performance expectancy (PE) and effort expectancy (EE) were the two constructs that influenced PG students’ behavioural intention to use EIRs. In contrast, social influence (SI) and facilitating condition (FC) did not change the PG students’ behavioural plan to use EIRs. The study recommended the need for adequate training for postgraduate (PG) students on the obligation to accept and use EIRs.
The role of cavity losses on non-adiabatic couplings and dynamics in polaritonic chemistry
Authors: Antoniou Panayiota , Suchanek Figen , Varner James F. , Foley Jonathan
Published: September 2020

We present a non-Hermitian formulation of the polaritonic structure of azobenzene strongly coupled to a photonic mode that explicitly accounts for the fleeting nature of the photon-molecule interaction. This formalism reveals that the polaritonic non-adiabatic couplings that facilitate cis-trans isomerization can be dramatically modified by photonic dissipation. We perform Fewest-Switches Surface Hopping dynamics on the surfaces that derive from our non-Hermitian formalism and find that the polaritonic isomerization yields are strongly suppressed for moderate to large photon dissipation rates. These findings highlight the important role that the finitelifetime of photonic degrees of freedom play in polaritonic chemistry.
Knowledge among Dentists about the usage of Opioid analgesics in Dental Practice

Published: September 2020

The treatment of pain is very common in dental practice. Analgesics is the safest way to relieve pain. Conventional analgesics are known as opioids and nonopioids, although the old words "narcotics" and "non-narcotics" continue to be used interchangeably. Dependence and resistance are well recognized characteristics of daily use of opioid analgesics, but this does not automatically hinder use in palliative care.The dentist should have a clear knowledge in prescribing opioid drugs to the patients. To assess dentists regarding knowledge, attitude and opinion on prescribing opioid analgesics in dental practice. A close ended questionnaire comprising of 10 questions regarding knowledge, precautionary measure, indication, guidelines in prescribing opioid analgesics in dental practice will be distributed to 100 dental practitioners. Data was tabulated and analysed by computing the percentage response for each question. Majority of the practitioners (83%) were aware and some of them (17%) were unaware regarding the usage of opioid analgesics in dental practice. Most of the respondents in this study knew the background of opioid drugs, indication, contraindication and their usage in dental practice. However, dentists should be cautious in prescribing any form of drugs to the patient.

Acinetobacter baumanniiis considered to be a worldwide threat to public health due to its high antimicrobial resistance rates and the severe infections it can cause. Little is known about this pathogen’s resistance in Central America. This report aims to describe the antimicrobial resistance profile of A. baumannii at a tertiary hospital in Honduras. The cross-sectional analysis was conducted at the tertiary care laboratory hospital in San Pedro Sula in 2015 – 2017. A total of 113 consecutive microbiological reports were analyzed, comprising 100 individuals from whom A. baumannii was isolated. Epidemiological and microbiological data, including the isolation setting and patient information, were recorded. Prevalence of multi-drug and extensive-drug resistance was assessed according to international standards. The median age of individuals was 22 years (2 – 35 years); female was the predominant gender (53%). The hospital’s pediatric wards had the highest number of isolates (n = 48). The most frequent specimen from which A. baumannii was isolated was skin and soft tissue (n = 39). Resistance to carbapenems was reported to be 40.7% among the isolates (n = 46); multi-drug resistant, 35.4% (n = 40); and extensively-drug resistant, 7.1% (n = 8). This report reveals the threat of this pathogen to public health in Honduras and appeals for antibiotic stewardship programs throughout Central America.

Objetivo. Determinar a prevalência de Staphylococcus aureus resistente à meticilina (MRSA) em animais destinados à produção de alimentos na região das Américas.

Métodos. Foi realizada uma revisão sistemática nas seguintes bases de dados: Scopus, Web of Science, MEDLINE, EMBASE e Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde (BVS). Foram selecionados artigos publicados nos últimos 10 anos, sem restrição quanto ao idioma. O desfecho de interesse foi a prevalência de MRSA em animais destinados à produção de alimentos. As prevalências foram agrupadas em metanálises de efeitos aleatórios pelo método de DerSimonian e Laird. A distribuição geográfica dos microrganismos resistentes e o decurso temporal das tendências de resistência também foram analisados.

Resultados. Dos 19 estudos incluídos, 11 foram conduzidos nos Estados Unidos e 11 analisaram amostras em suínos. Cinco estudos foram realizados na América do Sul. As amostras analisadas foram coletadas em locais de criação, de abate e de venda. A prevalência de MRSA na região das Américas foi de 7,6% (IC95%: 5,6 a 9,5%) e apresentou-se maior em suínos [12,6% (IC95%: 7,0 a 18,2%)], seguidos por bovinos [2,4% (IC95%: 1,2 a 3,7%)] e aves [1,8% (IC95%: 0,3 a 3,4%)]. Observou-se maior prevalência de MRSA na população de suínos da América do Norte e de bovinos da América Latina. Não houve variação significativa da prevalência de resistência nos 10 anos analisados.

Conclusões. A prevalência de MRSA em animais destinados à produção de alimentos na região das Américas foi maior em suínos, sem variação significativa da prevalência no decurso temporal.

Küreselleşme ve Kamu Harcamaları Bileşenleri Arasındaki İlişki: AB Ülkeleri Örneği
Authors: CENGİZ Orhan , MANGA Müge
Published: September 2020

1980’lerden itibaren devletin ekonomideki payının azaltılması ve piyasa mekanizmasına işlerlik kazandırılması amacıyla özelleştirmelere hız verilmiştir. Küreselleşme bir yandan, ülkeleri kamu sektörünün payını azaltma ve piyasaları genişletme seçeneği ile karşı karşıya bırakırken diğer taraftan küreselleşmeye uyum sağlamak amacıyla vergi rekabeti başta olmak üzere ekonomik ve mali alanda yapılan serbestleştirici politikalar kamu bütçesine önemli yükler getirmekte ve kamu harcamalarının kompozisyonunu önemli derecede etkilemektedir. Bu düşünceden hareketle 28 AB ülkesi için küreselleşmenin kamu harcamalarının alt bileşenleri olan genel kamu hizmetleri, savunma harcamaları, kamu düzeni ve güvenlik, eğitim, sağlık ve sosyal koruma harcamaları üzerindeki etkisi incelenmiştir. Panel ARDL yönetimi kullanılarak 2001-2017 dönemi verileriyle yapılan analiz sonuçlarına göre küreselleşme, kamu düzeni ve güvenlik, eğitim, sağlık ve sosyal koruma harcamalarını pozitif yönde etkilerken genel kamu hizmetleri ve savunma harcamalarını ise negatif yönde etkilemektedir.
Davranışsal Finans Kapsamında Anomalilerin İncelenmesi
Authors: POLAT Yusuf , DUMAN Haluk
Published: September 2020

Ekonomi literatürünün ilk dönemlerinden Neo-klasik döneme gelinene kadar sosyal bilimlerin temel araştırma konusu olan insanın belirli açılardan rasyonel olmadığı ve bu varsayımın bireyin her koşulda ekonomik insan olarak çerçevelenen karakteristikleri göstermeyebileceği konusu benimsenen bir olgu olarak kabul edilegelmiştir. Ancak bu dönemde bireyin her zaman rasyonel olamayacağının kabulü bireyin duyguları olan bir varlık olması gerçeğine dayandırılmıştır. Bireyin zihinsel yapısından kaynaklanan ve tüm bireylerde gözlemlenebilen sistematik davranışsal anomaliler bireyin biliş düzeyinin tespit edildiği bilişsel yansıma testi yardımı ile kategorize edilmektedir. Davranışsal finansın temel aldığı bireyin bilişsel yansıma düzeyi ile bireyde hevristiklerden kaynaklanan davranışsal anomalilerin yapılan çalışmalar sonucunda doğru yönlü bir ilişki sergilediği anlaşılmaktadır.

Rabies is a zooanthroponotic disease, causing significant economic damage, resulting from losses due to livestock deaths, costs of preventive measures and diagnostic tests. The disease is transmitted through biting or licking of damaged skin or mucosa. The disease is absolutely fatal and practically all warm-blooded animals are susceptible to it. The paper presents the analysis of statistical data on rabies morbidity and mortality among humans and animals; the assessment of epidemic situation in the Russian Federation, including the target population vaccination coverage and effectiveness evaluation of measures, taken in Russia to prevent rabies spread. The major causes of human mortality are considered. The recommendations on decreasing the disease spread risks are given. It was established that about 60 thousand human deaths and 45 thousand animal deaths from rabies have been reported in the Russian Federation within the past 10 years (from 2010 to 2019). Moreover cases of licking/scratching/biting of humans (397,248 cases in 2019, out of them 10,232 by wild animals) are reported every year. The sources of human infection within the mentioned period were dogs (39%), foxes (18%), cats (14%), raccoon dogs (14%), wolves (4%), polar foxes (4%), ferrets (4%), unknown sources (3%). The analysis of data from veterinary reports showed that the most rabies-infected regions are the Central and Volga Federal Districts. Using the mathematical modeling of the epidemic process the results of preventive measures, taken by the Veterinary Service in case of rabies in the region, were evaluated.

Published: September 2020

The goal of this review was to study about the implementation of Mind Mapping in teaching grammar in the second semester of students of the Department of English Education at IAIN Surakarta. Observation and documentation were the instruments for collecting the data. These instruments were used to collect data on the Mind Mapping process in grammar teaching, problems and solutions. The data analysis technique started with data reduction, data display and verification. First, the findings revealed that the implementation of Mind Mapping in teaching grammar was only used to provide an overview of the material. It was developed by elaborating, questioning, and responding techniques or methods for transferring the material. Mind Mapping made the students active in giving feedback and become a measure in assessing  how far the students understood the material during the teaching-learning process, the students were very eager to analyze the material using Mind Mapping. It could be seen from their direct reactions during the teaching-learning process and observed the work of the student in the classroom. Second, there are some advantages to using mind mapping in grammar teaching. They were; (1) giving students an overview of the concept of grammar material; (2) making grammar easier to understand; and (3) helping students to easily memorize the concept of English grammatical structure.
