В работе дается оценка экономической эффективности производства товарного карпа при использовании в рационе прудовой рыбы неспециализированных кормов (зернофуража), произведенных на базе рыбхоза. Выявлен экономически эффективный корм, позволяющий получить высококачественную рыбную продукцию при низких кормовых затратах и невысокой стоимости. Грамотное управление организацией производства товарной рыбы позволяет снизить долю затрат на корма в структуре себестоимости рыбной продукции, повысить производство, увеличить объем реализованной прудовой рыбы и, следовательно, повысить рентабельность производства рыбоводного хозяйства.
¿A dónde van las universidades? Perspectivas histórica y comparativa
Authors: Collini Stefan
Published: November 2017

Este artículo examina la tendencia de las universidades a adoptar criterios y pautas de evaluación propios de las empresas de negocios. Ante la masificación de la matrícula y los costos de funcionamiento, privilegian los aspectos administrativos sobre los académicos. Quizá no sea un signo de decadencia, pero su orientación ha cambiado radicalmente en comparación con la de hace tres o cuatro décadas. De continuar esta tendencia, la preocupación por el uso “racional” del personal y la planta física y el reclutamiento de profesores más dedicados a la contratación que a la docencia y a la investigación básica acentuarán la distancia entre universidades de élite y el resto de universidades, que al perder sus características peculiares solo capacitará personal para el mercado de trabajo.
Salvar la ciencia
Authors: Sarewitz Daniel
Published: November 2017

La ciencia enfrenta una crisis multifacética –de calidad, valor público y legitimidad política– cuyo origen es, en gran medida, la creencia de que la simple curiosidad científica ayuda a resolver problemas científicos y sociales. Este artículo muestra que esa creencia afecta cada vez más la capacidad de la empresa científica para satisfacer los estándares de alta calidad y las necesidades de la sociedad, a pesar de su creciente productividad. Contrasta el ideal de la libre investigación con episodios reales de interrelación entre ciencia, innovación y solución de problemas después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Y, con ejemplos actuales e históricos, muestra que es necesario vincular más estrechamente la creación de conocimiento a la solución de problemas para que la ciencia recupere su integridad y cumpla sus promesas y su responsabilidad con la sociedad.

Brucellosis is a highly infectious zoonotic disease and an economically important infection of humans and livestock with a worldwide distribution. The main mode of transmission of this disease to humans is through the consumption of infected milk, milk products, and uncooked or raw meat. The present study was designed to prepare few native antigens, that is, sonicated antigen (SA), cell envelope (CE) antigen, and freeze and thaw (FT) antigen from Brucella abortus S99 culture and to test them in a highly sensitive and specific indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (I-ELISA) in both a microtiter plate and a dot-blot format for the development of field-based diagnosis. All 50 suspected bovine samples were tested by plate as well as in dot ELISA formats for all the three antigens prepared. The CE antigen was found to be more suitable as it had the maximum agreement with the Rose Bengal plate agglutination test results followed by the SA and the least agreement was found with that of the FT antigen. This detection system in microtiter plates and a dot-blot format will be useful for the rapid screening of samples for the disease surveillance and routine diagnosis.

The core of the architectural curriculum is based on the design studio which focuses on learning by doing. The learning process in the design studio is takes place in critic sessions. These sessions are kind of communication of ideas and transmitting of knowledge from instructor to student. In contrast to other disciplines, in the architectural design education the evaluation and the assessment are the important part of the learning and teaching process. The Jury system is a traditional architectural learning assessment tool. In this system the student present his/her work in the front of the jury and get feedback or criticism. According to Webster (2006), Jury is the most performative stage of education where the student and agency (the discipline of architecture-as represented by the critics) actually interact. (Webster, 2006). The aim of this study was to reveal the perceptions of architectural design students’ about the ‘Jury system’ as an grading system in architectural design studios. The participants for this study included second, third and fourth grade architectural design  students enrolled in the Department of Architecture  at the Faculty of Architecture of Mersin University during the 2014-2015 school year. To collect data, each participant was asked to complete the prompt “A jury is like . . . …because . . . …..”  . Phenomenological design was used in the study.

Authors: Onem Engin Evrim
Published: November 2017

Code switching is a very common phenomenon in EFL language classrooms. The goal of this case study is to find out the possible reasons why EFL instructors employ code switching in ELT classes in Turkey. To achieve this, a brief questionnaire composed of the most common seven reasons mentioned in the relevant literature on code switching in language classrooms was compiled by the researcher and administered to ten EFL teachers working at different state universities in Turkey. The participants were asked to rank order the reasons from the most ideal to the least ideal purpose of employing code switching in classrooms for themselves and were later asked to write the reasons for their choices. It was found that “leaving no confusion about the topic” was the most common reason for the participants and the teachers who prioritized that reason seemed to have similar ideas about employing code switching in EFL. Discussion of the results and implications for future research are presented.

An approach to obtain the generalized mixed linear stress function for known owa weights with artificial bee colony algorithm
Authors: Coşkun Efsun , Nasiboglu Resmiye , Tezel Baris Tekin
Published: November 2017

Abstract

OWA (Ordered Weighted Averaging) is a flexible aggregation operator which is come up with Yager to create a decision function in multi-criteria decision making. It is possible to determine how optimistic or pessimistic the decision maker's opinion with the value obtained from the weights of this operator. The determination of OWA weights cannot provide characterization by itself. If it is desired to aggregate various sized objects in terms of generalization and reusability of OWA weights, a more general form is needed. In this study, we propose the parameterized piecewise linear stress function and the approach to characterize OWA weights. The stress function is expressed by parameters which are obtained by artificial bee colony algorithm. Also the weights are approximately found by using parameters.

Keywords â€“ OWA operator, aggregation, artificial bee colony algorithm.

Pixel-sieve cryptographic primitives with LSB steganography
Authors: Incze Arpad
Published: November 2017

AbstractThis paper contains a brief description of new approach regarding LSB steganography. The novelty of the method resides in the combination of LSB (Least Significant Bits) steganography with some primitives of the pixel-sieve/bit-sieve cryptographic method. In short, we propose to use two or more carrier images and the sieving algorithm, borrowed from the pixel sieve primitive, to determine which carrier image will receive the next set of bits of the secret message. While in classic LSB steganography the secret message must be encrypted prior to embed the information into the carrier image, in our proposal the message is scrambled between the shares in a pseudo random way. An attacker will need all the carrier images and the sieving key in order to reconstruct the original message. Also we recommend an alternative method in which instead of simply replacing the last bit/bits we use them as XOR keys to further enhance the security.

Keywords: steganography, cryptography, secret sharing; visual cryptography, LSB.

Negative and positive perfectionism as predictors of procrastination in female high school students in Tehran, Iran
Authors: Shirzad Galin
Published: November 2017

Abstract

 

Research has shown a relationship between procrastination and perfectionism, i.e. perfectionists generally tend to procrastinate. Therefore, the present study evaluated negative and positive perfectionism as predictors of procrastination in female high school students. This correlational study was conducted in 2015-16 academic year. The statistical population comprised all high school sophomores and juniors in Tehran, Iran. The research sample consisted of 300 female students. During the field data collection phase, the Positive and Negative Perfectionism Scale and Procrastination Scale were completed by the subjects. Perfectionism and its subscales were significantly related with procrastination in female high school students (P <0.001). Based on the calculated regression coefficient (0.001), negative perfectionism was a predictor of procrastination in high school girls. In addition, positive perfectionism had a negative relationship with procrastination. A combination of negative perfectionism, anxiety, and stress can predict procrastination and malfunction in female high school students. Therefore, in order to modify perfectionist behaviors, perfectionist students (especially negative perfectionists) need to be identified and encouraged to participate in psychological training and individual/group counseling programs. Such interventions will not only reduce the studentsâ€™ anxiety and tendency toward procrastination, but also improve their mental health and academic achievements.

Although legislation has been developed for the protection of women in Turkey, the fact that violence against women still retains its existence and the existing laws developed are inadequate, a qualitative research method is used in order to demonstrate that both laws are inadequate and violence is preserved and awareness is raised in this regard.

The construction and representation of social stereotypes of peasants and the rural world: A comparative research from historiography to classrooms
Authors: Gómez Carrasco Cosme J. , González Francisco García
Published: November 2017

Abstract
 
The purpose of this paper is to analyse the construction and transmission of social stereotypes when teaching history through a specific topic; the rural world of Spain and France in the Early Modern Age. The starting point is the study of the historiographic reconstruction based on this topic found in the main scientific journals. This is followed by seeing how this knowledge is transmitted in the classroom through the curriculum and textbooks. Finally, we analyse students' perception of the social stereotypes related to the topic. The findings show that historiography is advancing in the opposite direction to the history knowledge taught in the classroom. There is also a noticeable difference between the representation of the urban and the rural world, which is due to the persistence of the theory of modernization in historical explanations.
Keywords: social stereotypes, history education, textbooks, peasantry, historiography.
The correlation between need satisfaction and learning motivation: A self-determination theory perspective
Authors: Ping-ying HU
Published: November 2017

To examine the relationship between need satisfaction and learning motivation, a survey was conducted in an engineering college in China. Collected data were processed and analyzed via SPSS software; then a confirmatory factor analysis was performed with SEM method. Outcomes of the research indicated that: 1) satisfaction of autonomy and relatedness contributed to autonomous motivation; 2) satisfaction of competence and relatedness helped shift controlled motivation to autonomous motivation; 3) unexpectedly, satisfaction of competence had negative effect on autonomous regulation, as did satisfaction of autonomy on controlled regulation. The outcomes imply that learners' psychological needs should be satisfied according to their pre-existing types of motivation, and that studies on motivation based on Self-determination Theory (SDT) should take cultural factors into consideration
Keywords: SDT, basic psychological needs, self-determined motivation, correlation
