Bu çalışmada öğretmen adaylarının öğretmenlik uygulamaları sırasındaki öğretimlerine ilişkin öz değerlendirmelerinin pedagojik alan bilgisinin öğretim yöntemleri ve sunum, öğrenci ve değerlendirme bilgisi bileşenleri çerçevesinde incelenmesi ve öğretim elemanı değerlendirmeleri ile karşılaştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmanın katılımcıları öğretmen yetiştirme programının son döneminde olan altı fen bilimleri öğretmen adayı ve bir öğretim elemanından oluşmaktadır. Özel durum yönteminin benimsendiği çalışmada veri toplama aracı olarak öğretmen adayı öz değerlendirme formları, adayların öğretimlerine ilişkin öz değerlendirmelerinin yer aldığı günlükler, öğretmen adaylarının uygulama dersi sırasındaki öğretimlerini izleyen öğretim elamanının gözlem formları ve öğretim elemanı ile yürütülen mülakatlar kullanılmıştır. Bulgular, öğretmen adaylarının kendilerini değerlendirme bilgisi bileşeni kapsamında diğer bileşenlere göre daha yeterli gördüğünü göstermektedir. Öğretim elemanı ise adayların öğretim yöntemleri bilgi alanında daha iyi olmakla birlikte tüm bilgi alanlarında gelişime ihtiyaçları olduğunu düşünmektedir. Adayların öğrenciler hakkında daha fazla bilgi edinmeleri kullandıkları öğretim yöntemlerinin etkinliğini ve yeterliliğini sorgulamalarına neden olduğundan, adaylarının PAB’larının bir bileşeninde başlayan gelişme diğer bileşenleri de etkilemiştir. Öğretmen adaylarının öz değerlendirme formları ile öğretim elemanı değerlendirmeleri arasındaki farklılıklar Dunning-Kruger etkisine işaret etmekle birlikte, verilerin bütüncül analizi ile adayların çoğunun yeterliliklerinin farkında olarak gerçekçi ve öğretici öz değerlendirmeler yaptıkları sonucuna varılabilir.

Published: March 2020

Proinflammatory counterworks are important at different stages of tumor development, particularly during invasion and metastasis. Immune cells and their signal molecules can influence all stages of tumor progression, as well as therapeutic intervention. Proinflammatory cytokines are known triggers of growth in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP-NENs). In this study, we explored the immunohistochemical expression of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β), IL-2, and IL-6 in tissues from 43 GEP-NEN patients with tumors of gastric, duodenal, ileal, appendical, and colonic origin. The immunohistochemical expression of TNF-α was increased in tumor groups with high proliferation rates (Ki67; p = 0.034), as well as in those with higher tumor grades (p = 0.05). Moreover, the immunohistochemical expression of TNF-α positively correlated with death outcomes (p = 0.016). Expression of IL-6, IL-1β, and IL-2 displayed similar immunohistochemical expression patterns regardless of Ki67, although the expression between the ILs differed. Most GEP-NENs had high levels of IL-6 and lower levels of IL-1β and IL-2. Although further comprehensive studies are required for a complete understanding of activated mechanisms in proinflammatory protumoral microenvironment of GEP-NENs, TNF-α is a potential marker in the prognosis of those tumors.

Trans-germanic peculiarities of preterite-present verbs
Authors: Botsman Andriy , Dmytruk Olga
Published: March 2020

This article contains systematic and detailed analysis of morphological and semantic parameters of Germanic preterite-present verbs, dividing them into major and minor subgroups. The development of both preterite-present subgroups and their steady transformation into the modal verbs is a specific feature of all Germanic languages. Since the modal verbs of the Modern Germanic languages are morphologically defective, it is commonly assumed that preterite-present verbs of the old Germanic languages lost some of their morphological features in the process of turning into modal verbs. The semantic aspects of this process are rather obscure. All Germanic languages were losing some preterite-present verbs in the process of transformation from the Gothic language, which had fourteen preterite-present verbs. In OE there were twelve preterite-present verbs. Six of them survived in NE. The morphological description focuses on the finite and non-finite forms of the preterite-present verbs, which belong to the minor subgroup. The detailed description helps to see the origin and development of the minor subgroup in the new light. The description encompasses the data of classical Indo-European languages and Old Germanic languages. The authors emphasize the expediency of turning to the theory of preterite/strong verb origin, the verbs in question may be regarded as inter-group, hybrid units. In order to gain insight into the origin of the Germanic languages it is necessary to look into the history of the Gothic and West Germanic and North Germanic languages. The authors find it useful to compare common and different phenomena, highlighting individual specific processes taking place in the process of development of the Germanic languages. These languages are analyzed on different stages of their development, but inline with the view that the languages co-operated and coexisted in the same area. The data given in the article are used to analyze the problem implementing comparative grammar tools. The authors were particularly careful to take all grammatical forms into consideration while working with the lexical units from the ancient sources. Some additional information was taken from Greek, Latin and Sanskrit to produce reliable and consistent comparison of the German language with the rest of Indo-European languages.
Linguistic personality in mass media: scientific interpretation and characteristic features
Authors: Rudiuk Liudmyla
Published: March 2020

The article focuses on the necessity and appropriateness of scientific analysis of linguistic personality in mass communication as a separate subject of study, given the rapid development of mass media that produce a change in linguistic resource. In addition, the main approaches of researchers to the interpretation of the concept of "linguistic personality in media" were analyzed. An attempt was made to highlight the basic levels of communicative competence, characteristic features of the linguistic personality in media, taking into account the dominant tendencies of the development of mass communication sphere and the reorientation of the linguistic paradigm towards its intentional, communicative and functional component. In the scientific interpretation of the concept of "linguistic personality in media," the accentuation on multidimensional and polystructural dynamics of this concept, is indicative, which is characterized by the correlation of different analyzed parameters. The article focuses on representative criteria for highlighting a linguistic personality in media, attention is paid to cases where the linguistic personality is represented by both text publications and audio, video materials, and the syncretism of extra- and intralinguistic factors is important in the process of formation and functioning of the linguistic personality in media. One of the dominant categories for substantiating a linguistic personality in media is media discourse. Cases when media becomes a prism and a platform, where the linguistic personality becomes known and significant to the mass audience and when the linguistic personality is actually representative of the mass communication sphere were considered The idiocystology of the linguistic personality in media, the unique appeal and stylistic resource in speech, the normalization of linguistic characteristics make the texts and speeches of the linguistic personality in media significant because they have an impact on the society and are aimed at mass audience. On the example ofmedia texts of Yulia Mostova, a prominent linguistic personality in mass media, the editor-in-chief of the «Mirror of the Week» edition, linguistic and stylistic features, dominant linguistic markers (in particular, lexico-phraseological and syntactic features), their functional load were analyzed, which appropriate Yulia Mostova as a linguistic personality and make her texts creative and interesting for the recipients.

Authors: K. Shwetha Ballal , Bhandary Amritha
Published: March 2020

Background: Menstrual cup is an alternative to sanitary pads, which has received attention in relatively small-scale studies in high income, and low- and middle-income countries, including among schoolgirls. Made of high-grade medical grade silicone (biodegradable) have the advantage of reuse, and can potentially last up to 10 years. Objective of this study was to assess and analyse the awareness regarding menstrual cup among the women of reproductive age group.Methods: Data collected from the selected eligible participants by an interviewer administered study proforma. It is a descriptive cross-sectional study over 1 month in women in reproductive age in A. J. Institute Mangalore, Karnataka, India.Results: A total 82% were aware about menstrual cup but only 2.6% have used it.Conclusions: One challenge of menstruation that is taken for granted in affluent countries is the simple question of how to manage or contain the menstrual flow and what happens to a girl or woman who is not able to do this successfully. Menstrual hygiene management is therefore an increasingly important (yet often unrecognized) issue that is heavily intertwined with girls’ education, empowerment, and social development.

Published: March 2020

Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) playing a big role in domestic economic activities, especially in a developing country such as Indonesia. They accommodate a large amount of employment and generate quite large income for many economic sectors such as textile, furniture, footwear, food and beverages. Usually, SMEs do not have  a big stock of goods, consider the SMEs has a low capital. That makes SMEs usually rely on turnover from stock items with a small stock of goods. This certainly causes the monitoring process of the goods of stock’s data is very important. If an error occurs, stock-outs can easily arise which can cause loss of sales. Calculation and adjustment of the stock of goods and assets owned by the SME whether in the warehouse or storefront must often be carried out more often. To help inventory control process on SMEs, this research attempt to build a simple inventory control process application. This IT application is expected can operate easily by people who are not familiar with IT and relatively cheap so can be used by various layers of SMEs. The application will be running on Android-based smartphone. The application could download the SMEs stock data and doing inventory control by scanned the barcode that attaches on the item. The scanning process is simply using a camera on the smartphone. After inventory control process, SMEs employee could upload their data directly to a database server using Wi- Fi without re-entry their inventory control result. So this could save employee work time.

Published: March 2020

Today many retailers face high competition, therefore they have to operate in an efficient way. One aspect of efficiency is inventory. Many research on inventory is conducted intensively to get more realistic inventory model. In this paper, an inventory model was developed by considering pricing. Many retailers try to increase their profit by setting the best price for a single item, especially for some items that have high price-dependent demand. The customer demand depends on the price such household items. In the other side, some retailers face supply problems. Supplier often cannot supply products when the products needed on time. There is delay time between customer demand and products arrive at retailer warehouse. The retailer should determine the optimal price and replenishment time. There are some assumptions are used for the model. The first assumption, the demand is known and has constant elasticity. Second, there is stochastic replenishment period and demand that are not filled are lost sales. The model is developed mathematically and a numerical example is conducted to show how the model works. A sensitivity analysis is accomplished to get some management insight and some interesting result are derived.

Authors: Marcella Silvanus Sie Katherine , Anne Yang Aysia Debora
Published: March 2020

PT.X is one of the largest consumer goods manufacturing companies in Indonesia. As manufacturing companies PT. X has Direct Material (DIM) Procurement Department to control all direct material, which also controls the price list. The process of controlling price list update is still handled via email. The use of email as communication between internal PT. X and also with the vendor, cause email pilling up in the DIM Procurement staff’s inbox. This causes the process of updating material price list to become long and hard to control. There are approximately 4 500 direct materials and approximately 130 active vendors are handled by the DIM Procurement department annually. A large number of materials and vendor handled by DIM Procurement is one of the reasons why the process of controlling price list is important. Digitalization is one way to help the process of controlling and simplifying the price list update process. Improvements to the process of price list update will be done by designing the concept of a platform that helps improve the performance of DIM Procurement Department. The platform called price list catalog can be used to store and record all vendor price list changes. The suggestions for price list update process is to facilitate DIM Procurement department so they can easily control material price list, provide trusted price list, and always available on time.

Authors: Abu Bakar Zuriana , Seong Ong Sze
Published: March 2020

Emotions is one of the user experience key factors. Emotions is subjective feeling and it is difficult to determine human’s emotions. Thus, there is a need to have a system that could automatically detect human emotions. Nowadays, most of the emotion detection systems are obtrusive, complex and expensive. Besides that, most of the data collection and analysis process for research has been done manually. Therefore, Web-based Emotion Detection System using Keyboards Actions (EDS-KA) has been developed to detect human emotions without their awareness, uncomplicated and inexpensive in which, it is based on human actions using computer keyboard. In addition, this system could assist researchers in data collection and analysis, whereas, data could be collected and analyzed automatically. Further, the analysis results were saved in the database and could be printed out. EDS-KA adopted the Rational Unified Process (RUP) system development methodology. The RUP has been selected for EDS-KA development because it is an iterative software development process. Therefore, it enable produce a well-defined  system requirements and reduced the software risk. EDS-KA was a web-based system. Thus,  users could access the system at any time and places that have internet connection. In terms of emotional considerations, EDS-KA focuson five (5) basic emotional states, namely happy, sad, afraid, relaxed and neutral (emotionless). Taken together, this system could assist the researchers’ tasks in conducting emotions detection research more efficient, taking less time and inexpensive.
How Usability Defects Defer from Non-Usability Defects? : A Case Study on Open Source Projects
Authors: Mohamad Yusop Nor Shahida , Grundy John , Schneider Jean-Guy , Vasa Rajesh
Published: March 2020

Usability is one of the software qualities attributes that is subjective and often considered as a less critical defect to be fixed. One of the reasons was due to the vague defect descriptions that could not convince developers about the validity of usability issues. Producing a comprehensive usability defect description can be a challenging task, especially in reporting relevant and important information. Prior research in improving defect report comprehension has often focused on defects in general or studied various aspects of software quality improvement such as triaging defect reports, metrics and predictions, automatic defect detection and fixing.  In this paper, we studied 2241 usability and non-usability defects from three open-source projects - Mozilla Thunderbird, Firefox for Android, and Eclipse Platform. We examined the presence of eight defect attributes - steps to reproduce, impact, software context, expected output, actual output, assume cause, solution proposal, and supplementary information, and used various statistical tests to answer the research questions. In general, we found that usability defects are resolved slower than non-usability defects, even for non-usability defect reports that have less information. In terms of defect report content, usability defects often contain output details and software context while non-usability defects are preferably explained using supplementary information, such as stack traces and error logs. Our research findings extend the body of knowledge of software defect reporting, especially in understanding the characteristics of usability defects. The promising results also may be valuable to improve software development practitioners' practice.

Authors: Wan Ahmad Wan Azlin Zurita , Mukhtar Muriati , Yahya Yazrina
Published: March 2020

Social content is important for successful innovation of services. To successfully leverage the value of social content, they need to be properly managed. To achieve this, factors that contribute to social content management must be identified and subsequently validated. In this article, eleven factors that impact upon social content management are highlighted. Taking into consideration the fact that social content management is still an evolving field of study, validation of these factors was done by employing the Delphi technique. Research had indicated that there are several different versions of the Delphi technique, and some researchers have criticized the method as non-rigorous. Thus, in this paper, it is highlighted that this issue could be tackled if the questionnaire instrument used to assess the expert’s opinion is developed by adhering to a rigid protocol. Embedded in this rigid protocol, are two measures of validity used which are the content validity ratio (CVR), and the mean of CVR, namely the content validity index (CVi). A total of 86 items are submitted for evaluation and based on the CVR value and comments from the content evaluation panel members, all items are acceptable, with minimal adjustments. The CVi measure returned a value of 0.99, which shows that the factors and the whole questionnaire are accepted. The questionnaire with the validated content could be used as an instrument to validate the factors that are affecting the management of social content. It is hoped that the factors would assist the organization in managing the social content effectively.

Numerical Simulation of Projectile Penetration into Laminated Transparent Armour
Authors: Kobylkin I.F. , Shakirzyanova V.V.
Published: March 2020

The paper shows that the main reasons behind a laminated glass panel failing while penetrated by a high-velocity projectile are the high stresses in the region affected by the projectile and tensile stresses at the interface that are caused by the glass layers bending. For all the glass layers but the frontal one, intense fracturing does not start at the interface with the previous layer but at the interface with the subsequent layer, in the region of the tensile stresses generated by the current layer bending. The fracturing propagates towards the impact. A low-strength adhesive layer between glass layers inhibits and even stops the fracture-inducing wave propagating from the previous layer into the subsequent one. Analysis of the projectile deceleration plots in laminated glass panels of the same total thickness showed that the projectile undergoes more dramatic deceleration in a single-layer barrier and in barriers consisting of fewer layers.

Published: March 2020

Lateral motion dynamics was studied of a robotic towed underwater system designed to monitor the continental shelf and consisting of a towed vehicle and a tow wireline. In regard to underwater vehicles of the type in question, it is quite correct to represent spatial motion in the form of a super-position consisting of two flat motions, i.e., longitudinal motion in the vertical plane and lateral motion in the horizontal plane. Dynamics of the towed system longitudinal motion within the monitoring problem was considered in a previously published work by the authors. The present work is its natural continuation and development traditionally accepted in the problems of the underwater vehicles spatial motion mechanics. Diagram of the towed vehicle operation and its hydrodynamic characteristics are presented; besides, mathematical model of a wireline and also a model of the wireline-towed vehicle system lateral motion were constructed. Probable steady system motions were analyzed, issues of balancing, as well as those of the towed vehicle dynamic stability when moving at a constant depth were considered. Results of numerical calculations were provided. The results obtained were considered in conjunction with the results of the authors' above mentioned work related to the towed vehicle longitudinal motion and make it possible to select such system parameters that provide the specified character of spatial movements in the process of monitoring the continental shelf taking into consideration the need to perform turns in the horizontal plane at changing directions and to ensure vertical maneuvers when avoiding underwater obstacles.
Design Technique for Calculating Functional Parameters of a Rotating Shaped Charge with Preliminary Heated Liner
Authors: Steshin A.S. , Babkin A.V.
Published: March 2020

The paper considers a separate issue of the shaped charge functioning, i.e., functioning of a rotating charge under preliminary thermal action on its liner. Estimates of two oppositely directed factors are provided: 1) increase in the shaped-charge jet dynamic plasticity (limit elongation coefficient); 2) increase in the jet susceptibility to centrifugal destruction. These factors are activated by preliminary thermal action on the shaped charge liner in the jet heated in excess of usual parameters. The so-called "thermal" increase in the limit elongation coefficient was estimated using empirical and theoretical dependences of this value on the shaped-charge jet parameters, and on the characteristics of its material. Strength dependence on temperature was accepted as linearly decreasing. Centrifugal factor was estimated based on the law of kinetic moment conservation taking into consideration the gradient nature of stretching and, up to a certain point, the radial thinning of jet elements. The moment of centrifugal and strength forces relationship reaching the critical value was accepted as the beginning of the jet element centrifugal destruction. From this time moment the jet radial extension started. The law of decompaction of its enlarging part was taken from studies previously conducted by the authors. It was demonstrated that the two considered factors acting in the opposite directions in a jet were in compliance with each other ensuring optimal preliminary heating of the liner and penetration effect with a local maximum.
On the effect of the flexibility parameter on thermody­namic properties of acrylonitrile and methylvinylpyridine copolymers
Authors: Romanko O.I. , Eliseeva E.A.
Published: March 2020

We used thermal analysis to investigate the effects of temperature (20--300 °C) on the behaviour of acrylonitrile and methylvinylpyridine copolymers and determine the temperature ranges in which segmental mobility develops in them, as well as their glass transition temperatures. Data obtained via differential thermal analysis allowed us to compute activation energies for vitrification processes in copolymers of the series specified and to plot vitrification temperature as a function of copolymer composition. We used the method of increments to compute flexibility parameters for acrylonitrile and 2-methyl-5-vinylpyridine and analyse the effects of flexibility parameters on the manifestation of relaxation processes. The data obtained may be used to amend manufacturing parameters when developing chemisorptive filter materials based on the specified copolymer series.

Badania neuronauk a rozwiązywanie problemów społecznych
Authors: Skubiak Beata , Taraszkiewicz Małgorzata
Published: March 2020

Zjawiska społeczne wywierają wpływ na procesy rozwoju gospodarki i z tego punktu widzenia istotny jest problem marginalizacji i wykluczenia społecznego. Dodatkowo poczucie więzi z określonym terytorium i chęć pogłębiania wspólnego dobra przejawiają się w zaangażowaniu jego mieszkańców w realizację różnego typu projektów i programów. Zaangażowanie lokalnych wspólnot może stanowić podstawę uruchomienia procesów rozwojowych opartych na czynnikach endogennych. Celem artykułu jest pokazanie, w jaki sposób wyniki badań z obszaru tzw. neuronauk mogą przyczynić się do lepszego radzenia sobie z problemami społecznymi regionów problemowych, przy których rozwiązywaniu wielokrotnie ponosi się porażki. Jako przykład posłużyć może aktywizacja osób wykluczonych lub zagrożonych wykluczeniem społecznym.
Student Listening Preferences and the Use of Storytelling to Teach About Community Resources
Authors: Malenczak Derek , Nascimento Melanie
Published: March 2020

Background

Rehabilitation Counseling programs often require that the curriculum include education about basic community resource and entitlement programs for people with disabilities. The fact-based nature of this content can make it challenging for students to engage with in a meaningful way, especially in the online learning environment. Storytelling holds promise as a means to bring this content to life in online courses; however, little is known about how students interact with digital storytelling assignments.

Objective

Podcasts may be a more convenient way to deliver the audio to the students, as use of the technology as well as overall smartphone usage has exploded in recent years.

Methods

This article examines the results a survey of 44 students who reported their listening preferences for a weekly storytelling assignment.

Findings

Results confirm previous findings in the literature about how students interact with academic podcasts.

Conclusions

Despite their proliferation, students appear to approach podcast assignments similarly to how they would any other online learning task.
Rhetorische Kompetenz bei polnischen Studierenden in der Fremdsprache Deutsch im universitären Kontext
Authors: Grzeszczakowska-Pawlikowska Beata
Published: March 2020

Rhetorical competence among Polish university students of German as a foreign languageAccording to the Bologna Process reforms, the orientation of university teaching and learning towards competence is the key to the ‘future employability’ of graduates. One such skill is rhetorical competence in oral communication, which is crucial to both lifelong learning and to the workplace. The teaching of this key competence would certainly ease the transition between university and working life. However, particularly in German Studies programs at Polish universities, the transmission of rhetorical competence is often of peripheral importance – if it is taught at all. Often, this skillset is simply expected of students, for example when they are required to give an oral presentation. This contribution examines the competence of Polish-speaking students of German as a foreign language in an intercultural learning context. It will focus in particular on the capturing of possibilities for improvement, particularly on the communicative effect on German native speakers of non-native speakers making oral presentations.

Representation of Female Attributes in Chinese Proverbs
Authors: Kharlay Oksana
Published: March 2020

Representation of Female Attributes in Chinese ProverbsThe article investigates a the inner and outer attributes of women reflected in Chinese proverbs and b what images and symbols are employed to express them. Each proverb was assessed and classified in terms of female attributes inner and/or outer and connotation positive and/or negative. The sources of the features that underlie the representations of female attributes in Chinese proverbs were found to drawn mostly from traditional national culture, cultural symbolism, and social and gender stereotypes. Social beliefs, ethnic and gender prejudice towards women in Chi­nese society, as well as ethno-cultural information accumulated in the proverbs, were revealed by means of the cultural approach to critical discourse analysis. In detail, inner attributes overweigh outer, i.e., superficial and aesthetic ones, providing a clear moral compass pointing to an ideal fe­male behaviour.

Published: March 2020

On the motivation of ecclesionyms in the diocese of KielceThe article presents the results of the analysis of the names for churches in the diocese of Kielce. The examples are sorted because of that, they refer to: the Holy Trinity, Jesus Christ, the Holy Ghost, the Holy Family, the Mother of God and the Saints of the Catholic Church. The studies show that the names of the Saints are the most popular names of churches in the chosen area. The second group of the ecclesionyms, which enjoy increasing popularity, are the names referring to the Mother of God. The rest of the names seem to be rather rare.The ecclesionyms can be treated as the mirror in which the people see the tendencies of their faith. It is also possible to maintain that the names of the churches are kind a way to interpret the religiosity and spiritual world of the society.
Близькі незнайомці. Образ України в польському кіно після 1989 року
Authors: Czerkawski Piotr
Published: March 2020

CLOSE STRANGERS. THE IMAGE OF UKRAINE IN POLISH CINEMA AFTER 1989This text happens to be an attempt to look at the image of Ukraine in Polish cinema after the political and social changes of 1989. The big part of the article focuses on TV documentaries which come back to the most significant moments of common Polish-Ukrainian history and tell us stories of people who were equally important for both cultures. The text deals also with a difficult subject of cultural  superiority, ignorance and neocolonial stereotypes reflected by some Polish films about Ukraine and Ukrainian people. On the other hand, the article also analyses well-known documentaries, such as Piano by Vita Drygas or The Dybbuk. A Tale of Wandering Souls by Krzysztof Kopczyński. The author is convinced that both films are able to combine high artistic values with an empathic view of the modern Ukrainian reality and the country’s complicated past. The article ends with a conclusion that those documentaries can be treated as the role models for future Polish films about Ukraine.Translated by Piotr Czerkawski
