Authors: Djiwandono Patrisius Istiarto
Published: September 2017

The  paper reports a study of the learning styles of  Millennial Generation.  It aims to identify their learning styles, determine the correlations between their learning styles and their achievements in language skill courses and in a content course, and determine the relationship between the amount of their verbal report of  learning styles and their achievement in the content course. A group of 22  learners described how they  manage their learning of a content subject. Their written answers were coded to find their preferred styles in learning the subject. The coding generated a common profile of their learning styles, most of which differ considerably from the common characteristics of Millennial Generation in the literature. No significant correlation is evident between their learning styles and their achievements in language and content course. Finally, there is a modest correlation between the amount of verbal report and  their ultimate mastery of the content course. The instructional context and cultural aspects are thought to have shaped the respondents’ learning styles.Keywords: Millennial Generation,  learning styles, cultural influence

Authors: Shodikin Ali
Published: September 2017

The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of learning with abductive-deductive strategy on the achievement of mathematical reasoning abilities of high school students. It employed the experimental pretest-posttest with non-randomized control group design to the eleventh grade students of one high school in Pati, Central Java, Indonesia. Data were collected in the form of early mathematical ability categories (EMA) and overall. The results showed that the achievement of mathematical reasoning abilities that students acquire through learning with abductive-deductive strategy was better than that of the students who received were taught with expository learning. In more detail, only students in the medium category of EMA showed better achievement in mathematical reasoning abilities. Meanwhile, students of the upper and lower categories had the same achievements in their reasoning abilities. Based on the findings of the research, it is expected that teachers can encourage students to apply abduction and deduction strategy in order to achieve in mathematical reasoning abilities.

Narrativa etiológica y simbolismo terapéutico. El ‘Corpo aberto’ en Galicia
Authors: Couceiro Domínguez Enrique
Published: September 2017

La acción simbólica incide críticamente en la producción, control y resolución cultural de los procesos de la enfermedad y la salud. En este sentido, la curación requiere, como condición necesaria para la implicación de quienes en ella intervengan, de la coparticipación en un mundo compartido de representaciones y narrativas sobre los factores y las relaciones etiológicas que producen la enfermedad, y sobre los procederes que inducen el restablecimiento de la salud. Asumiendo el modelo de Dow, acerca de que todo método de curación involucra un desplazamiento –mental y práctico- del paciente dentro de un mundo mítico particularizado, de modo que la sanación puede ser viable cuando tal cosmos narrado existe tanto para aquél como para el terapeuta, y cuando el primero acepta la competencia del segundo para definir las relaciones de su caso con dicho imaginario, describo el caso de la corpo aberto gallega como especialista tradicional en sanación. La habilidad de esta figura estriba en el desarrollo de un esquema simbólico-narrativo de la enfermedad como efecto de una posesión espiritual derivada de desarreglos vinculativos parentales; esquema narrativo cuyos sus “símbolos transaccionales” particulariza e inculca en las pacientes, en el curso de sesiones caracterizadas por una distintiva dramatización taumatúrgica.

Why Education Practitioners and Stakeholders Should Care About Person Fit in Educational Assessments
Authors: Walker A. Adrienne
Published: September 2017

In this article, A. Adrienne Walker introduces the concept of person fit to education stakeholders as a source of evidence to inform the trustworthiness of a test score for interpretation and use (validity). Person fit analyses are used in educational measurement research to explore the degree to which a person's test score can be interpreted as a reasonable estimate of her achievement level. Although much academic literature has been produced on person fit, the findings and implications of this research remain largely unknown to education stakeholders. Walker argues that the practice of using test scores based on misfitting response patterns is problematic, and by including individual person fit in quality procedures, assessment research, practice, and policy can improve the way educational assessments serve instruction.

Published: September 2017

Cow manure, different to other manures, has been frequently used as raw material of bokasi along with other organic waste materials such as sawdust, rice husk ash, and bran. This study aimed to utilize various livestock manures as one of the organic material in the production of bokasi. A completely randomized design with 2 replications was used in this study, which consisted of two factors: type of livestock manure (J) and proportion of livestock manure (P) of the total bokasi raw material.  Factor J consisted of 3 levels: J1 (cow manure), J2 (goats manure), and J3 (chicken manure), while factor P consisted of 4 levels: P1 (35%), P2 (45%), P3 (55%), and P4 (65%). Analysis of the bokasi quality included: total microorganisms, moisture content, pH, temperature, C element, N element N, C/N ratio, organoleptic  (texture, smell and color), and the plants growth (height) test. The results showed that the type of livestock manure (J) effected very significant on total microorganisms, C, N and C/N ratio of bokasi, as well as significant on plant height. Based on the results of the C, N and C/N ratio it was known that the best bokasi resulted by chicken manure. It met the standard of INS (Indonesian National Standard). The proportion of manure affected very significant on water content as well as significant on N and plant height.

Authors: Perales Palacios Francisco Javier , Guerrero Gonzalo
Published: September 2017

La Física alberga múltiples relaciones con otras ciencias experimentales y humanas; no obstante, estas relaciones no suelen ser explicitadas en los libros de texto utilizados en la enseñanza obligatoria. Esta investigación analiza cómo se contempla la inter y transdisciplinariedad en libros de texto de Física. Para ello se evalúa, mediante una categorización derivada de un análisis de contenidos y de una revisión teórica, la consideración del enfoque Ciencia-Tecnología-Sociedad (CTS), la Historia y Naturaleza de la Ciencia, junto con la referencia hacia otras disciplinas. Se analiza un libro español y otro chileno de similar nivel educativo e importante difusión editorial. Los resultados evidencian una significativa presencia de los tópicos analizados pero con diferencias notables entre ambos textos. Como futuras líneas de investigación se plantean, entre otras, su extensión a libros de texto de otras disciplinas como Biología o Química.

Published: September 2017

A field experiment was conducted for two years at Himachal Pradesh Agricultural University, Palampur on the influence of vermicompost and split applied nitrogen in pole French bean. Twelve treatment combinations comprising of organic manures, nitrogen fertilization and methods of application were evaluated. The performance of yield and yield related traits increased significantly with application of vermicompost, 125% of recommended nitrogen through split application. Use of vermicompost + 125% nitrogen resulted in highest seed yield (10.43 q/ha) and NPK uptake. Seed yield and NPK uptake with application of vermicompost + 75% N was at par with that of recommended application of N indicating thereby saving of 25% of nitrogen fertilizers. Split applied nitrogen at 125% of recommended dose resulted in 50% increase in seed yield over basal application. Hence, application of vermicompost and split applied nitrogen is a better option to harness high seed productivity and to maintain soil fertility.

Systematic Comparative Illustration of Primary School Building Regulations in Serbia and Slovenia
Authors: Stevanovic Sanja
Published: September 2017

PISA tests provide international comparison of achieved educational standards through testing capabilities of 15-year old pupils. Serbia participates in PISA tests since 2003 and test reports show that the results of Serbian pupils are statistically significantly below the average of pupils in OECD countries. An additional concern, however, is the fact that the results of Serbian pupils are also statistically significantly below the results of Slovenian pupils. Slovenia participates in PISA tests since 2006 and the results of its pupils do not differ significantly from the OECD average. In order to discover directions for future reforms of educational system in Serbia in order to reach the OECD average, and therefore Slovenia, it is necessary to compare individual factors of educational systems in Serbia and Slovenia. Since pedagogical vision is of fundamental importance in design of schools, differences in primary school design regulations may serve to illustrate the most important differences in educational systems as well. A systematic comparative illustration of primary school design regulations in Serbia and Slovenia in this paper reveal that schools in Slovenia dedicate much more space, both quantitatively and qualitatively, to youngest pupils in preschool and the first two grades, school library and gym than their counterparts in Serbia.

Published: September 2017

The Moroccan university is increasingly experiencing a strong growth in the numbers of students. This process of massification alters the quality of learning, especially in open-access institutions where human resources and the capacity to host are increasingly limited. To improve the quality of learning, which first involves improving the quality of teaching within the University, Cadi Ayyad University in Marrakech (UCAM) launched a platform of MOOCs (Massive Online Open Courses) in 2013. In this article, we question the opening of the Moroccan university on this technology. Our study is anchored in the context of the Cadi Ayyad University of Marrakech. We are particularly interested in the following question: what are the perceptions of students and teachers about this device? Do they feel that using MOOCs “changes something”? Our methodological approach describes all the stages of data collection and processing including the content analysis model. We distributed a questionnaire to a group of students and conducted semi-structured interviews with teachers. The questionnaires collected and the interviews made it possible for answers to be provided to the questions asked. The most salient results show that the students as well as the teachers who participated in our study appreciate the use of MOOCs as a support to the face-to-face class. However, this technology has disadvantages including lack of exchanges with teachers and between students. Ongoing product improvements were called for, including the design in association with MOOC of student activities, assessments and discussion forums, and on the other hand, recording the videos in the presence of the students
Les Images Contrastées Des Femmes Émergentes De La Société Civile Et Transformation Des Rôles Sociaux Sexués En Province Orientale Post-Mobutu
Authors: Omeyaka Bibiche Liliane Salumu Laumu
Published: September 2017

This article approaches the subversive dimension and performative gender in women awakeness in Oriental Province post-Mobutu era. Their ambition wobbles between maintaining feminine leadership status (their high-flying female) which takes its subsistence from the implementation of their capability and their sufferance from social representation in an environment dominated by patriarchal stereotypes and a political system less disposed to take actions in gender matters. However, feminine elite’s capability procreates social transformations across a social deconstruction not only in role of sexes in the society (structural transformations) but also in transformations observed in man to woman and woman to woman relationship. Under this optics, these civil society women really become actors of change in women well-being in their area. Their way of thinking, acting and being make them convinced feminists. But, the opposite is also possible when some of them resign themselves to break the wall of glass sheltering inequalities between sexes for other aims, notably political. They are selective in their involvement. In that case, they are common feminists of use, most often, as footbridge for politicians. It is on base of the analysis model socio dynamic model analysis which we had achieved in better reconciling structural complexity of those social representations and their insertion in plural social and ideological contexts in Oriental province after President Mobutu reign.

Published: September 2017

The impact of wastewaters from the Toutsang sandpit (Dschang), both on water parameters and on benthic macro-invertebrate community structure of the Doulahang stream was studied from March 2015 to February 2016 on a monthly basis in three sampling stations named TS1, TS2 and TS3. The physico-chemical analysis were carried out according to standard protocols while the benthic macro-fauna was harvested using a haze net of 30 cm side and 400 μm mesh size. The analysis of physico-chemical parameters revealed that the introduction of wastewater from the sandpit at the TS2 station led to an increase of the temperature, conductivity, total dissolved solids, salinity, suspended matter, turbidity and colour. The wildlife inventory identified 63 taxa divided into 4 phyla, 6 classes, 13 orders and 31 families. The lowest values of the taxonomic richness (18 taxa, against 46 taxa and 47 taxa respectively to stations TS1 and TS3), the Shannon diversity index (2.48 bits / ind.) and the Pielou's evenness (0.62) were observed at station TS2 which received wastewaters from the sandpit. Similarly, the low values of the richness and abundance of the pollutionsensitive groups (Ephemeroptera-Trichoptera-Odonata) were recorded in this station. Significant negative correlations were found between some metrics (total taxonomic richness, taxonomic richness of the Diptera, Richness of Ephemeroptera-Trichoptera-Odonata, Taxonomic richness of insects, Relative abundance of Ephemeroptera-Trichoptera-Odonata, Shannon Weaver diversity index, Pielou's evenness) descriptors of the structure of benthic macro-fauna communities and physico-chemical parameters indicative of physical pollution such as turbidity, suspended matter and colour.
Occupational Safety Knowledge Management with Performance Indicators as a Strategy for the Reduction of Accidents in the Construction Sector in Mexico
Authors: Quintero Martha Patricia , Pérez Juan Carlos , López Gerardo de Jesús , Olivera Emmanuel
Published: September 2017

The construction industry is one of the key contributors to a country's economy. It accounts for 13.4% of total annual production. The construction sector has specific characteristics such as dynamic work and uncertain conditions; therefore, it tends to cause occupational accidents. Another one of its features is the temporary nature of its projects. This characteristic leads to the loss of learning and disappearance of workers at the end of each project inhibiting workers from gaining experience. The aim of this paper is to propose a model of knowledge management in occupational safety that limits or stops the loss of knowledge, covers the dynamic needs of the construction sector and helps to reduce accidents at work. The present research method is exploratory; it identifies the elements or strategies of the stages of knowledge management that allow the reduction of accidents in the construction sector. As a result of this research, the authors have proposed a model which is able to manage the knowledge generating learning from its elements. Some key safety performance indicators as strategies to reduce occupational accidents are discussed.
Les Représentations De La Beauté Féminine: Une Lecture Des Fondements Socioculturels Du Teint Clair Chez Les Bété De Côte d’Ivoire
Authors: Marcel Yoro Blé
Published: September 2017

This study proposes an analysis of the representation of the female beauty whose clear complexion is one of the illustrations in the bété. In Côte d’Ivoire, the bété shows that there was a development of the beauty through the worship of the bagnon. However, in the representation of the male beauty through the bagnon, there is no fixed color complexion. It is not the same for the beauty of the woman whose clear complexion is of significant importance. This is why this study proposes the canons of the female beauty and to question the sociocultural bases which specifically underlie the preference of the clear complexion to the black complexion of the bété woman. However, this is in a bid to understand the cultural anchoring of the female depigmentation in bété country. From a field survey of people of all social categories, the study shows that the preference of the clear complexion is explained by the fact that it would carry virtues of rejuvenation and longevity for the man. In other words, the beauty of the woman aims at developing the man by rejuvenating him and by lengthening his life expectancy. These imaginations results to the depigmentation of the young girls and women bété in their search for beauty. This they do via the clear complexion to make them more attractive to men.

In the study of syntax, a special attention is given to the verb as the main constituent in the structure of the predicate. However, there exists some constructions in which a noun, adjective or an adverb are the main constituents in the predicate. In Kurdish literature, there is a debate on the analysis of these verbless constructions. On one hand, they are considered nominal sentences which do not contain a verbal element. On the other hand, they are considered small verbal sentences in which the agreement markers on the predicate act as verbal element. The study is an attempt to analyse the structure of these verbless constructions within the framework of minimal program (Chomsky, 1995) in one of the widely spoken variety of Kurdish, Northern Kurmanji, Bahdinani subdialect. It contributes to resolve the existent debate in Kurdish linguistics concerning the structure of these constructions. Additionally, it contributes to the typological variation in the syntactic properties of these constructions in Kurdish.
