Perception on the Effectiveness of Method in Teaching English as a Second Language to 21st Century Learners
Authors: Samifanni Fara , Gumanit Rose Leslie
Published: October 2020

Numerous studies revealed to us that rote memorization is an ineffective learning approach and the teacher-centered or traditional instruction, versus student-centered instruction, may not provide the most efficient outcomes for students‟ learning. The focus of this study was to assess the Perception on the Effectiveness of Method in Teaching English as a Second Language to 21st Century Learners. Using the descriptive-correlational research design, the study utilized a survey questionnaire as the main data gathering tool and a semi-structured open-ended questionnaire for the focus group discussion. It was revealed that the teachers are using Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) due to its effectiveness in managing large classes. The preference of 21st-century learners on CLT strengthens their use of the target language. Twenty-first century ESL students highly exposed to CLT improve their fluency, accuracy, and competence. The fundamental role of education is to prepare the 21st century learners to become assets and responsible members of our society. With the changes and improvements which come with time, this importance of education‟s role remains. Recommendations for future research were proposed.
Sosiaalialan ammattilaiset halukkaita osallistumaan asiakastietojärjestelmien kehittämiseen – osallistumistavoissa kehitettävää

Tietojärjestelmien kehittämistyön lähtökohtana tulee olla vahva ymmärrys käyttäjien tarpeista, tehtävistä sekä toimintaympäristöstä. Lisäksi suunnitteluratkaisuja tulee arvioida käyttäjien kanssa kehittämisprosessin aikana ja käyttöönoton jälkeen. Vaikka kansallisesti kohdennetaan runsaasti resursseja tietojärjestelmäpalveluiden kehittämiseen, sosiaalialalta tutkimusta aiheesta löytyy niukasti.

Sosiaalialan ammattilaisten kokemuksia asiakastietojärjestelmien kehittämistyöstä kartoitettiin osana keväällä 2019 toteutettua valtakunnallisesta käyttäjäkokemuskyselyä. Kysymyksissä käsiteltiin kokemuksia yhteistyöstä tietojärjestelmätoimittajan kanssa, osallistumisesta kehittämistyöhön ja osallistumistavoista tietojärjestelmien kehitykseen. Tuloksia tarkasteltiin asiakastietojärjestelmän tuotemerkeittäin.

Puolet vastaajista ei ollut osallistunut lainkaan kehittämistyöhön, mutta vain 19% ei ollut halukkaita osallistumaan ollenkaan. Suosituimmat osallistumistavat olivat ongelmien raportointi järjestelmien kehittämisen vastuuhenkilölle ja oman työn esittely kehittäjille; sen sijaan tietojärjestelmätoimittajien yleisimmin käyttämät tavat eli palautteen kirjaaminen verkkosivustolle tai sähköpostiin eivät olleet käyttäjien mieleen. Suurin osa tiesi, miten ongelmatilanteista ja kehitysehdotuksista raportoidaan.

Sosiaalialan ammattilaiset ovat kiinnostuneita osallistumaan kehittämistyöhön, mutta he eivät ole tyytyväisiä mahdollisuuksiin ja tapoihin osallistua käyttämiensä järjestelmien kehittämiseen. Järjestelmätoimittajien ja käyttäjien väliltä puuttuvat sopivat toimintatavat. Tulokset ovat samansuuntaisia kuin vastaavissa lääkäreille ja sairaanhoitajille tehdyissä tutkimuksissa. On myös mahdollista, että organisaatiot eivät hyödynnä innokasta kehittäjäpotentiaalia. Kehittäjien tulee jalkautua kentälle ja organisaatioiden palkata tietojärjestelmäkehityksestä vastaavia ammattilaisia tulkeiksi järjestelmätoimittajan ja käyttäjien välille. Sosiaalialan ammattilaisten näkökulma on huomioitava vahvemmin järjestelmäkehityksessä, jotta tietojärjestelmät saadaan onnistuneesti tukemaan sote-yhteistyötä tulevaisuudessa.

Authors: Deepikaa S. , Saravanan R.
Published: October 2020

Performing secure and robust embedding and extracting in real time voice streams without deteriorating the voice quality is a great challenge. This paper aims on hiding the secret data bits in the voice packets without modifying any data in the cover thereby improving the embedding transparency and becomes robust against the steganalysis attacks using coverless approach. Initially a hash array is built with the frame size. The cover bit position is identified from the hashing function. The hash array is marked with a flag value to indicate that the particular sample consist of the secret message bit. The hash array is attached with the VoIP samples, at the receiver side the hash table is separated, and the secret bits are extracted based on the hash array. The experimental results conducted on a VoIP prototype proved to be simpler and effective in terms of the computational complexity, undetectability and voice quality at both sender and receiver end.

In order to improve the performance of the thermal power plants by increasing the energetic, mechanical, electrical efficiency, this will be achieved through an alternating-alternative static converter, experimentally realizing the single-phase alternating voltage variable module. System optimization is to find new solutions for controlling the linear motion of electromechanical actuators, including the choice of working principles that would become patent proposals, or new research stands.
Mosaic Landscape Structures in Relation to the Land Use of Nitra District
Authors: Bugár Gabriel , Pucherová Zuzana , Veselovská Katarína
Published: October 2020

Mosaic landscape structures with traditional forms of land use are currently the most important landscape features, especially from the point of landscape and cultural-historical perspective. Their typical features are the alternation of the areas of narrow-field fields, meadow vegetation and permanent cultures, especially vineyards and orchards. Their presence in the territory is mainly related to the rich vineyard and fruit-growing tradition. On the territory of the Nitra district, we record the most extensive mosaic landscape structures from the south to the north-eastern part. These are heterogeneous units, typical of the rotation of small-area land management, scattered by non-woody vegetation and habitat. In the mosaic landscape structures, we also find elements of the traditional settlement architecture of the houses ‘hajloch’. Significant landscape elements in the form of mosaic structures survive thanks to the rich viniculture tradition. In the long run, however, there are changes in their use: they are often the subject of inheritance, they are converted into holiday homes or they are used for the needs of an expanding residential development. The aim of our study is to point out the dynamic and changes that occurred in the mosaic landscape structures between the two-time horizons (the 50s of the 20th century and the present). For this purpose, we use geospatial analysis to evaluate their area representation, spatial characteristics in relation to the surrounding settlement structure and selected properties of relief forms. The analysis and evaluation of the spatial diversity of mosaic landscape structures as important landscape elements play a significant role in protecting the natural and cultural heritage values of the area from the aspect of species diversity and rich gene pool, visual perception of the landscape, preservation of ecological stability of landscape, landscape potential and overall landscape diversity.

Terrestrial plants are constantly exposed to multiple environmental signals that influence their metabolism. Among these signals, nitrogen (N) nutrition and light affect importantly diverse metabolic and physiological processes. Herewith the effects of N nutrition (8.47, 12.71 and 16.94 mg · L−1 N) and shading percentages (0 and 70%) on plant morphology and chemical composition of the essential oil of marigold (Tagetes erecta L.) ‘Inca’ were assessed. Increasing N levels enhanced the number of secondary branches and the flower diameter, while shading reduced height of side branches, number of primary branches and opened flower buds. In leaves, flowers and stems, 15 different compounds were identified. In leaves, low and medium N levels and high light level increased the synthesis of ocimene, limonene and piperitone. As well, medium and high N doses, independently of the light level, stimulated the synthesis of caryophyllene and β-phellandrene in leaves. Nevertheless, increasing N doses and shading level decreased the synthesis of β-myrcene and α-pinene in leaves. In flowers, medium N level and high light intensity increased the synthesis of trans-pinene. Piperitone and verbenone were identified only in flowers of plants with high N doses and lower light intensity. In the stems, caryophyllene, piperitone and β-farnesene were more abundant with medium and high N levels. The interaction of study factors differentially affected both morphological variables and the composition of essential oil among organs studied. Therefore, N nutrition and light intensity are key factors that modify the morphology and composition of the essential oil in T. erecta.
The Effect of Low Dose of Cadmium on Growth, Reproduction and Chicken Viability
Authors: Marettová E. , Maretta M.
Published: October 2020

Cadmium (Cd) is considered to be a highly polluting heavy metal with toxic effects on health and reproduction. In this study, the effects of low dose cadmium on growth, reproductive properties, and egg properties were studied. Cadmium as cadmium chloride (CdCl2) at a dose of 3 mg Cd.kg−1 was added as a feed supplement. The following parameters were evaluated: body weight, egg production, fertility, hatching, embryo and chick mortality, and egg quality characteristics. After 2 months of exposure to low doses of cadmium, the body weight increased in the cocks and did not change in the laying hens. Egg production was not affected, while fertility increased. The values of egg weight and hardness, thickness and shell weight were significantly higher (P < 0.05). The embryo mortality in the experimental group was lower (6.5 % vs. 12.8 %) compared to the control group. The hatching was significantly higher (P < 0.05) and the loss in 7 day old chickens was similar to that in the control group. Although the toxic effects of cadmium on reproduction and accumulation in poultry bodies have been generally described, low-doses of cadmium given to adult hens and cocks has improved the reproductive parameters and qualitative properties of laying hen eggs. The results related to the reproduction and quality of eggs obtained in this study have the characteristics of the hormetic effects of low cadmium uptake.
Perinephric hematoma induced by factor Xa inhibitor in a patient with a vascular renal mass
Authors: Hussaini Syed A. , Bakhsh Abdul Rahim Ali
Published: October 2020

Perinephric hematomas are known to present in the form of Lenk’s triad with acute flank pain, flank mass and hypovolemic shock. Here, we describe a case of perinephric hematoma occurring secondary to the use of anticoagulant therapy in the setting of a renal mass. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a perinephric hematoma occurring secondary to the use of Apixaban. The patient was an 80 year old male with a history of the presence of a left sided vascular renal mass discovered seven years ago admitted from a peripheral health center with pneumonia and a dropping hemoglobin along with acute kidney injury. Evaluation of his course revealed the use of a Factor Xa inhibitor, namely Apixaban, for new onset atrial fibrillation. The patient was stabilized with multiple units of packed red blood cell transfusions. An abdominal computed tomography abdomen demonstrated a perinephric hematoma contained in the Gerotas fascia. Due to deranged renal function, the patient was managed conservatively and made a full recovery. This case highlights the challenges associated with the diagnosis of perinephric bleeds. The use of anticoagulation therapy in the setting of a pre-existing vascular lesion remains a dilemma.
The Role of Social Networks in the Internationalisation of Startups: LinkedIn in Portuguese Context
Authors: Almeida Fernando , Santos José Duarte
Published: October 2020

This study aims to explore the role of social networks in the internationalisation of startups. For this purpose, the social network LinkedIn is used, and two case studies of Portuguese technological startups are employed. The findings indicate that social networks can contribute to the acceleration of the internationalisation process and decrease their costs. Their relevance is greater in the initial phase of the internationalisation process. However, its relevance is limited in more advanced phases of this process. LinkedIn can be used by startups to obtain several benefits such as brand awareness, identification of new opportunities, customer feedback, among others. The results of this study are essentially useful in a practical dimension for companies that plan to start or improve their internationalisation process sustained on social networks.
Possible Impact of Global Warming and Other Factors Affecting Migration in Russia with Emphasis on Siberia
Authors: Dets Igor A.
Published: October 2020

The main issue of the study was to determine the importance of the climate factor for migration flows in Russia, as well as its impact on the intraregional level. The article also discusses the possible prospects that global warming may bring to Siberia. According to the results, the climate factor does not have a crucial influence on the decision to relocate in Russia, but it remains one of the most important, along with economic, social and political factors. At the regional level, the climate factor is less important than the agglomeration factor and others. The impact of global warming has now affected the overall increase in temperatures in Siberia, which is not yet sufficient to generate additional migration flows.
Analysis of underground stratification based on CPTu profiles using high-pass spatial filter
Authors: Rainer Jakub , Szabowicz Hubert
Published: October 2020

The issue of the stratification of the underground subsoil is one of the principal geotechnical challenges. The development of the Cone Penetration Tests (CPTu) has resulted in the possibility to record parameters in a quasi-continuous way, which provides a very detailed description of the soil response. Such accurate measurements may therefore be treated as a signal or image and be analysed as such. This paper presents the application of high-pass spatial filters to perform soil stratification on the basis of the static penetration test. The presented algorithm has been tested on the test data set provided by the Organizers of TC304 Student Contest on Spatial Data Analysis (September 22, 2019, Hannover, Germany). It provides reasonable results at negligible computational cost and is applicable to most soils, especially if the contrast between the parameters of the adjacent layers is significant.

Published: October 2020

There are large amounts of reinforced concrete structures that have undergone damage from corrosion at their operational stage. The Eurocodes and national standards do not contain any guidelines for designing primary protection and repair systems for reinforced concrete structures. Our research shows the economic feasibility of designing reinforced concrete structures that can interact with an aggressive environment, taking into account the kinetics of concrete corrosion. Optimal design methods can be used to obtain the most economical solutions. We have developed a quantitative methodology for the design of the primary protection of reinforced concrete structures.

Published: October 2020

Deficient or deteriorating reinforced-concrete columns in many existing structures have to be strengthened using economical, efficient, and fast methods. In the present study, different strengthening techniques to improve the load-carrying capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) columns have been compared. Five groups of fifteen square reinforced concrete columns (150 mm × 150 mm × 600 mm) and one group of three circular columns ( φ 170 mm) that have cross-sectional areas equivalent to those of the square columns were cast from normal-strength concrete. The test program was designed to examine the behavior of columns strengthened by carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP), steel jacketing, ferro cement, steel fibers, and silica fumes under cyclic axial compression. The efficiency of each strengthening method in increasing the column’s axial capacity, energy absorption, and ductility was studied using the experimental data. The test results showed that strengthening the columns could significantly enhance their load-carrying capacity and failure strains.
Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Short-Term Behavior of Partially Precast and Partially Encased Composite Beams
Authors: Zhang Liufeng , Yang Yinghua
Published: October 2020

In this paper, the short-term behavior of a new partially pre-cast and partially encased composite (PPEC) beam is studied. This paper reports the results of a 4-point bending test on a full-scale PPEC beam and sets out the load displacement response, short-term stiffness, peak load capacity and failure mode of the proposed PPEC beam. In addition, a finite element analysis of the PPEC beam is carried out, and the numerical simulation results are compared with the test results. The results show that the finite element model can reflect the bending response of the PPEC beam. In this paper, three different calculation methods are used to compare the deflection of the PPEC beam. The results show that the values calculated by the bending-shear coupling method formula agree relatively well with the test results.

Marlow’s Gaze in Lord Jim by Joseph Conrad: Between Light and Shadows
Authors: Sokołowska Katarzyna
Published: October 2020

In Lord Jim Marlow functions not only as a narrator who spins the yarn about the morally problematic case of the young sailor, but also as an interpreter who struggles to register impressions as faithfully as possible thus translating the visual into the discursive. Marlow’s double function establishes the novel as a text about the search to understand and to acquire reliable knowledge about Jim and his dilemma. Levin’s distinction of the two styles of vision, the assertoric gaze and the aletheic gaze, offers a neat conceptualization for Marlow’s visual practices which affect his interpretation of Jim. Levin defines the assertoric gaze as a fixed stare which involves the hegemony of a single standpoint, whereas the aletheic gaze, decentred and subversive, cherishes ambiguity and tends to roam about to accommodate multiple points of view. Levin relates this distinction to the two concepts of truth that Heidegger examines in his critique of the metaphysics of presence: truth as proposition, correspondence, or correctness and truth as aletheia or unconcealment as well as the two types of discourse, the hermeneutical discourse of poetizing and the discourse of statements. If Plato and Descartes defined truth and knowledge in terms of a total visibility, Heidegger insists that the path to truth involves confronting shadows and recognizing that they are necessary for the disclosure of being. Within this philosophical framework it is possible to reassess both Marlow’s failure to form an unequivocal explanation of Jim and his growing epistemological scepticism as a departure from the correspondence theory of truth. The encounter with Jim brings Marlow to interrogate his own strategies of grasping the truth and subverts the focus on light as its visual equivalent.
Shakespeare’s The Tempest Revisited: Nietzsche and the Myth of the New World
Authors: Burzyńska Katarzyna
Published: October 2020

The Tempest is the only play in the Shakespearean canon that is open to a purely “Americanist” reading. Although Prospero’s island is located somewhere in the Mediterranean, numerous critics claimed that it deals with the New World (Hulme & Sherman 2000: 171). The paper revisits the existing interpretations, focusing on the turbulent relationship between Prospero and other inhabitants of the island: Caliban, Miranda, and Ariel. In the article I propose a rereading of their relation in the spirit of Friedrich Nietzsche’s perspectivism, utilising Nietzsche’s key philosophical concepts like the Apollonian/Dionysian elements and der Übermensch (the overman). In his vast canon, Nietzsche refers to Native Americans only once and in passing. However, his call for the revaluation of all values seems to be an apt point of departure for a discussion on early colonial relations. Nietzsche’s perspectivism enables to reread both the early colonial encounters and character relations on Shakespeare’s island. Hence, in an attempt at a “combined analysis”, the paper looks at Prospero as the potential overman and also offers a reading of the English source texts that document early encounters between the English and native inhabitants of North America (Walter Raleigh, Richard Hakluyt, Thomas Harriot, Robert Gray).
The Hypothesis of Change from Above in the History of English: State of the Art and Perspectives
Authors: Lavidas Nikolaos
Published: October 2020

The present paper presents the state of the art of research related to hypothesized changes from above in the diachrony of English. A main aim of the paper is to show how the cooperation of various perspectives can open new directions in the research of language change. We examine the main aspects of a definition of the change from above. We investigate the various perspectives through which the concept of change from above, as an “importation of elements from other systems” (Labov 2007), has been considered a significant factor for the development of English. We show that any attempt to investigate the presence or role of change from above includes the parameters of prestige, distribution of old and new forms, diffusion, gender, and linguistic ideology. Finally, we discuss typical examples of development of patterns and characteristics of English that have been analyzed as influenced by change from above, as well as the prestige dialects / languages and contexts that have been regarded as facilitating a hypothesized change from above (Latin, Anglo-Norman, standardization, prescriptivism, networks and individuals). We argue that the articles of the present special issue provide stable criteria that are required in any attempt to test the hypothesis of change from above in the development of English.

This research aims to know the effect of variations in the ratio of taro-chitosan tuber starch to the characteristics of bioplastic composites and determine the ratio of taro-chitosan tuber starch that produces the best bioplastic composites. This research uses a Factorial Randomized Block design with taro-chitosan tuber starch ratio variation factor in  five level (40: 60%, 35: 65%, 30: 70%, 25: 75% and 20: 80%). The treatments which grouped into 3 based on the time of making bioplastics, so there are 15 experimental units. The observed variables which tensile strength, elongation at break, modulus young, swelling development, biodegradation and FTIR test. The obtained data were analyzed for diversity and continued with the Honestly Significant Difference test. The results showed that the variation of the taro-chitosan tuber starch ratio significantly affected the tensile strength, elongation at break, modulus young, and swelling development but did not significantly affected the biodegradation of the bioplastic composites of taro-chitosan tuber starch. Variation of taro-chitosan tuber starch ratio 35: 65% produces the best bioplastic composite characteristics with tensile strength values 3.15 MPa, elongation at break 21.33%, modulus young of 14.87 MPa, swelling development test 29.69% and biodagradation ability for 13 days. FTIR analysis results show the presence of hydroxyl (O-H) alcoholic groups, (O-H) Carboxylic acid, (C = O) esters, (C - H) alkana,  (C=C) alkena , and hydrocarbons - (CH2) n.

Heavy metals may enter to marine organism bodies through three ways including, food ingestion, gills, and surface diffusion of the skin. Accumulation of heavy metals in the body for a long time may disrupt the circulatory system, nerves and kidney work.  The effort to increase the hatching success is very important for the turtle conservation. Therefore, this study was aims to examined the concentration of heavy metals detected in the eggs of olive ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea) turtle.This study was conducted between July - September 2019 in Serangan Island. The method used in this study was a purposive random sampling, determined by four olive ridley’s nests in their nesting period  with each nest of 5 egg samples. The heavy metal contents were analyzed with Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The results showed that Pb concentrations ranged from 5.50-103.66 mg/kg with an average of 36.49 mg/kg, while Cd concentrations ranged from 0.07-16.25 mg/kg with an average of 0.96 mg/kg.  The concentrations of heavy metals in sea turtle eggs may come from their parent, which might be already accumulated heavy metals in their tissues. This might occur due to the substances in the eggshell are capable to absorb heavy metals. The results of this study highlight the average concentration of heavy metals in L. olivacea eggs exceeded the threshold of heavy metals for egg products set by the Indonesian Regulation of the Food and Drug Control Agency (BPOM) No. 5 of 2018. This indicates that the eggs of Olive ridley sea turtle in the region are unsafe for human consumption. In addition sea turtle eggs are in high risk for human consumption because they contain heavy metals. All types of turtle products are also protected by UU No. 5 of 1990, therefore the culture of the community in consuming and trading turtle products must be stopped.

There are several types of health services that provide information about health care facilities, such as pharmacies, health centers, clinics, and hospitals. Application of health service facilities location is used to facilitate users in reaching the nearest health service facility. The application of the health care facilities location has not been optimally used by the user so often. The advantage of analyzing the system is to determine its direct and indirect effect on the end-user. This research analyzes task technology fit (TTF) of application for the location of health service facilities based on measures of end-user satisfaction and knowledge management system (KMS). The research began with an exploratory study through interviews with users of health service applications. With the results of interviews, the research hypothesis model was built to integrate health service applications with the task technology fit model based on end-user satisfaction. The results obtained from this study are the impact of the performance of a good application system can increase end-user satisfaction in optimizing all the modules that exist in the application. The intended system performance is the quality of information presented by the application including the location of the health service facility and the accuracy of information needed by the end which affects the compatibility of the health service facility application which significantly increase the end-user satisfaction, and this will automatically affect the TTF performance for the better. This needs to be responded to so that the application continues to be updated in real-time to continue to provide information about the application in accordance with the development and needs of end-users.  This linkage shows that the role of task technology fit has a good impact on system development that affects system relationships and end-user satisfaction in applications.

Pengrajin ukiran kayu merupakan salah satu pekerjaan yang mempunyai risiko mengalami keluhan muskuloskeletal. Hal ini dikarenakan postur pengrajin ukiran kayu sewaktu bekerja tidak ergonomis. Postur kerja yang tidak ergonomis ini, apabila dilakukan secara terus-menerus dan dalam jangka waktu yang lama maka dapat menimbulkan keluhan muskuloskeletal pada pengrajin ukiran kayu. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui hubungan faktor risiko ergonomi saat bekerja dengan keluhan muskuloskeletal pada pengrajin ukiran kayu di Gianyar. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian observasional analitik dengan desain cross- sectional yang dilakukan pada bulan Maret-April 2019. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan teknik Consecutive Sampling. Jumlah sampel penelitian ini sebanyak 96 orang. Variabel dependen yang diukur adalah keluhan muskuloskeletal menggunakan Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire (CMDQ). Variabel independen yang diukur adalah faktor risiko ergonomi saat bekerja menggunakan metode Baseline Risk Identification of Ergonomics Factor (BRIEF) Survey. Hasil analisis data menunjukkan bahwa adanya hubungan antara faktor risiko ergonomi saat bekerja dengan keluhan muskuloskeletal pada leher (nilai p=0,035), punggung atas (nilai p=0,018), punggung bawah (nilai p=0,016) serta tangan dan pergelangan tangan kanan (nilai p=0,001).

Olahraga sepakbola merupakan olahraga populer Di Indonesia, juga merupakan olahraga prestasi. Kecepatatan berlari merupakan salah satu unsur fisik yang melengkapi teknik dasar permainan sepakbola untuk mencapai prestasi yang optimal. Kecepatan berlari bergantung pada fleksibilitas otot hamstring. untuk meningkatkan fleksibilitas dapat dilakukan dengan beberapa metode peregangan seperti statis, dinamis, dan prekontraksi. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimental dengan menggunakan rancangan pre and post test control group design. Sampel penelitian berjumlah 32 orang dipilih menggunakan metode random sampling. Sample dibagi menjadi 2 kelompok, kelompok I diberikan pelatihan peregangan konvensional, sedangkan kelompok II diberikan pelatihan kombinasi peregangan konvensional ditambah peregangan statis dan self myofascial release menggunakan foam roll. Skor  kecepatan berlari diukur menggunakan 30 meters sprint test setelah 12 kali pelatihan.Rerata umur pada kelompok I dan II adalah 13,88 dan 13,94 tahun. Uji paired sample t-test menunjukkan peningkatan skor kecepatan berlari pada kelompok I sebesar 0,12 dengan p= 0,000 ( p<0,05), sedangkan kelompok II sebesar 0,29 dengan p= 0,000 (p<0,05) yang berarti adanya peningkatan skor kecepatan berlari yang signifikan pada kedua kelompok. selanjutnya uji independent sample t-test menunjukkan tidak ada perbedaan skor kecepatan berlari antara kedua kelompok setelah dilakukan pelatihan dengan nilai p= 0,746 (p>0,05).Peregangan konvensional serta kombinasi peregangan kovensional dan peregangan statis ditambah self myofascial release menggunakan foam roll pada otot hamstring dapat meningkatkan kecepatan berlari pada pemain sepakbola, dan keduanya memiliki efek yang sama dalam meningkatkan kecepatan berlari pemain sepakbola.

Recuero mi primer viaje a San Agustín con el profesor Luis Ernesto Lasso, en el curso de Literatura Hispanoamericana, año 1985. La emoción que sentí desde el momento en que empezamos a ascender por entre las montañas majestuosas, entre cascadas y en el fondo del rio Magdalena con sus aguas límpidas y rápidas. Sin saberlo, esta salida se convirtió para mí en un viaje de iniciación, en una experiencia vital que determinó mi relación con el pueblo, con el paisaje y con la gente que va mucho más allá de su valor arqueológico.

El estudio realizado en las Mipymes de Neiva para la caracterización de la Planificación y el control de la producción, los cuales se constituyen en pilar fundamental para alcanzar los niveles de competitividad regional se basó en los estudios de tiempos y movimientos, capacidad de producción, eficiencia de cada centro de producción y del total de la planta, nivel de utilización de cada centro, y del total de la planta, registros de ventas de los últimos cinco años y la técnica del pronóstico para encontrar el tamaño de las ventas a futuro. Para la planeación a corto plazo se estudiaron los siguientes aspectos: Plan Maestro de Producción, evaluación de los diferentes planes, capacidad necesaria de cada lote de producción, diagramas de ruta para sus productos, registros de carga de cada operación, lista de materiales para cada producto, registro para identificar cuando pedir y registro de inventarios. El estudio arroja como resultado que las pequeñas empresas y las microempresas, carecen de sistemas de planeación y control y que los registros históricos necesarios para adelantar dichas labores son incipientes, con baja utilización de mano de obra calificada y poca intervención de profesionales en los procesos de gestión empresarial.
