Authors: Bandeira Andriola Wagner , Helio Leite Raimundo , Leudo Maia José
Published: November 2018

Resumo O texto aborda a releví¢ncia da atividade de análise métrica das questões ou dos itens componentes de testes de rendimento, enquanto procedimento essencial ao feedback que se deve proporcionar aos elaboradores das mesmas. Nesse í¢mbito, o objetivo do ensaio foi comparar os efeitos das caracterí­sticas métricas dos itens sobre a estimativa do ní­vel de habilidade do aluno (Î¸), utilizando-se, para tal, o modelo de três parí¢metros logí­sticos da Teoria da Resposta ao Item (TRI). Este trabalho mostra uma das inúmeras possibilidades resultantes do uso da TRI: análises estatí­sticas pertinentes para aferir se o instrumento e os itens ou questões que o compõem cumpriram suas funções pedagógicas, isto é, se estimaram de modo válido e confiável o aprendizado dos discentes. Palavras chave: avaliação educacional; avaliação da aprendizagem; Teoria da Resposta ao Item (TRI); testes de rendimento. Metric analysis of assessment test components: feedback mechanisms to improve design   Abstract This paper overviews the relevance of item metric analysis of assessment tests as an essential feedback procedure which should be provided to those who design them. The essay intends to compare the effects of the item metric characteristics over the estimated skill level of students (Î¸), using the three logistic parameters of the Item Response Theory (IRT). This work shows one of the many possibilities resulting from the use of the IRT: relevant statistical analysis to verify whether or not the tool and its items meet the expected pedagogical functions, i.e.: if they can validly and reliably estimate the learning of students.

Authors: Tavares Lívia Teixeira , Albergaria Tatiane Falcão dos Santos , Guimarães Marina De Aguiar Pires , Pedreira Rhaine Borges Santos , Pinto Junior Elzo Pereira
Published: November 2018

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar as causas e taxas de mortes evitáveis em crianças com menos de um ano de idade na Bahia no período de 2000 a 2012. Para isso, realizou-se um estudo ecológico de série temporal. Foram considerados os óbitos de crianças da faixa em questão, cujas mães residiam na Bahia naquele período. A classificação de evitabilidade dos óbitos seguiu a Lista brasileira de causas de mortes evitáveis por intervenções do Sistema Único de Saúde. Os dados foram extraídos dos sistemas de informação em saúde (Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade, Sistema de Informação sobre Nascidos Vivos). Apesar das reduções não só da taxa de mortalidade infantil geral como daquela por causas evitáveis no período estudado, ainda persistem altas proporções dessa última em menores de um ano de idade na Bahia. Destacaram-se a diminuição das taxas de mortalidade reduzíveis por adequada assistência ao recém-nascido e o aumento das taxas de mortalidade reduzíveis por adequada atenção à mulher na gestação. Concluiu-se que a abordagem da evitabilidade é um potente avaliador da resolutividade dos serviços de saúde prestados à saúde materno-infantil.

The research findings can be used when compiling subject-oriented courses on academic English writing.
SIGNS AND SUPERSTITIONS IN THE TELEUT LINGUO-CULTURE (BY THE MATERIAL OF THE EXPERIMENT)
Authors: Denisova El'vira Stepanovna
Published: November 2018

The article summarizes an attempt of collecting and studying the signs and superstitions of the Teleut linguo-culture. The relevance of the problem is conditioned by the fact that the majority of the scientific papers devoted to the Teleut folklore do not focus on signs as a small folkloric genre. The analysis of the gathered field material allows the author to conclude that in the Teleut language - the language of one of the smaller indigenous peoples of the North - signs are represented quite extensively, they can be classified into three thematic groups: weather, calendar and everyday ones.

STRUCTURAL-GRAMMATICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS AND PROVERBS THAT CHARACTERIZE FAMILY RELATIONS
Authors: Shamsutdinova Liya Rinatovna , Fatkullina Flyuza Gabdullinovna
Published: November 2018

The aim of the article is to conduct the systemic analysis of the structural-grammatical features of the phraseological units characterizing family (marital) relations in the Russian language. The topicality of the study is associated with the need to identify the structural organization of these phraseological units and to comprehend the interpretation of the human’s conceptualization of the reality in the consciousness of an ethnic group, as it appears in the language paroemiological fund. The authors conclude that the structural-grammatical features of the phraseological units characterizing family relations are determined by the pragmatic purpose of proverbs and sayings.
INTERNAL FUNCTIONAL-GRAMMATICAL HOMONYMY OF THE PREPOSITION В1 GOVERNING THE ACCUSATIVE CASE AND THE PREPOSITION В2 GOVERNING THE PREPOSITIONAL CASE IN THE RUSSIAN NATIONAL DISCOURSE
Authors: Shirshikova Anna Aleksandrovna
Published: November 2018

The article examines the problem of the internal functional-grammatical homonymy of the preposition В1 governing the accusative case and the preposition В2 governing the prepositional case. The paper dwells on the history of studying homonyms, emphasizes the insufficient understanding of the homonymy phenomenon. Using “living” examples taken from the Russian National Corpus, appearing as a universal linguistic discourse, the author analyses semantic and functional features of the preposition В (in). The findings lead to the conclusion that the prepositions В1 and В2 are homonymous.

Authors: Borisova Irina Mikhailovna , Zabirova Yuliya Rafaelevna
Published: November 2018

The article analyses the poetical collection of the modern domestic poetess D. E. Kan “In Confidence with Stars” from the viewpoint of the figurative system. The analysis has indicated that practically all the poems are associated with the Russian expanse, urban and rural. The basic images of the book are homeland images: the Russian rivers, towns and Russia itself are personified in the poems and involved into a conversation. They are closely associated with D. E. Kan’s personal and creative biography. The relevance of the study is determined by the growing interest in modern poetry and its developmental trends. The originality of the research is in the fact that the poetess’s creative work is studied insignificantly.
VALUES ROLE IN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS: THE LATIN AMERICAN VECTOR
Authors: Gorshenev Dmitrii Sergeevich
Published: November 2018

The article deals with the evolution of the value approach to international relations in its historical perspective: from classical works by I. Kant to the structural-functional analysis of international actors’ value motivation by E. Durkheim. The analysis leads to the conclusion that the emergence of new conceptions on the basis of the value approach allows a radical revision of the architecture of international relations for building the multipolar world. Thus, Latin America becomes one of the grounds where spiritual-religious values play the role of international relations regulators.

Authors: Latypov Linar Nail'evich
Published: November 2018

The article provides the existential and ontological interpretation of the “predestination” (“Taqdir”) notion, one of the key ones in the Islamic doctrine. “Homological paradigm” is considered as the structural semantic content of the “Taqdir” notion. The ancient Greek word “homology” (ancient Greek ὅμοιος “similar, alike” + λογος “word, law”) includes not only synergetically united ontological notions comprehensively revealing the “predestination” notion but also the logic, which links them together.
PROBLEMATICS OF RURAL TOURISM POTENTIAL ASSESSMENT
Authors: Turov Rostislav Sergeevich
Published: November 2018

The article provides the understanding of the notions “potential”, “potential of rural tourism”, studies approaches to their definitions and to similar notions. The key philosophical works devoted to the notion of the potential are analysed. It is concluded that the notions “potential” and “uncertainty” are connected in modern philosophical understanding. The paper conducts the analysis of the use of the common methods of assessing the rural tourism potential. The author identifies the problems of determining the potential of rural tourism, typical of these studies, and discusses the circumstances that must be taken into consideration when assessing the potential of rural tourism development: insufficient consideration of the uncertainty factor, lack of unity of the potential assessment methodology, lack of secondary information array, ignoring the risk of rural residents’ alienation.
“THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS” BY GREGORY OF NAREK AS A SOURCE TO INVESTIGATE THE IMAGE OF SOPHIA THE SACRED WISDOM
Authors: Khachatryan Mastegra Vladimirovna
Published: November 2018

The article for the first time considers a new sophiological source - the work by the ancient Armenian philosopher-theologian Gregory of Narek “The Book of Lamentations”, a recognized masterpiece of the world literature. The author justifies its inclusion into sophiological discourse, which can become an important landmark in the Biblical commentary of the doctrine of Sophia the Sacred Wisdom and allows identifying implicit conceptual layers both in the Russian Sophiology and in the works of Gregory of Narek as a founder of the “Armenian Sophiology”. The paper provides the comparative analysis of Sophia conceptions developed by the Russian Sophiologists and Gregory of Narek and identifies the similarities indicating the existence of the single origin of Sophia doctrines - the Bible.
‘DINAMIS’ IN NATIONAL MUSIC AT THE BEGINNING OF THE XX CENTURY
Authors: Demchenko Aleksandr Ivanovich , Savvina Lyudmila Vladimirovna
Published: November 2018

The article is devoted to the analysis of national music at the beginning of the XX century from the perspective of the characteristics of dynamism, which becomes the most important feature of the era, meaning maximum saturation with movement, increased activity, and heightened impulsivity. It is an all-pervading factor of new world perception; its action affects the accelerated, explosive and spasmodic evolution of the artistic process, the frequent change of stylistic manners and directions. In this regard, the authors introduce the notion of ‘dinamis’, which reflects new energy, organizing the artistic whole.

Politicization in Process: Developing Political Concepts, Practices, Epistemologies, and Identities Through Activist Engagement
Authors: Curnow Joe , Davis Amil , Asher Lila
Published: November 2018

In this article, we explore longitudinal video data from the student activist group Fossil Free UofT to analyze what it means to become politicized. We argue that politicization is a sociocultural learning process, not merely a process of conceptual development or cognitive change, but a simultaneous process of conceptual, practical, epistemological, and identity development. In the analytic sections, we tease apart aspects of politicization, showcasing examples of transformation that center political concept development, changing practices, reconfigured ways of knowing, and new identities in formation.
How College Students Use Advanced Placement Credit
Authors: Evans Brent J.
Published: November 2018

Millions of high school students take Advanced Placement (AP) courses, which can provide college credit. Using nationally representative data, I identify a diverse set of higher education outcomes that are related to receipt of AP college credit. Institution fixed effects regression reduces bias associated with varying AP credit policies and student sorting across higher education. Results indicate college credits earned in high school are related to reduced time to degree, double majoring, and more advanced coursework. Bounding exercises suggest the time to degree and double major outcomes are not likely driven by bias from unobserved student characteristics. Policies used to support earning college credits while in high school appear to enhance undergraduate education and may accelerate time to degree.
Resumen de tesis: Itinerarios militantes entre dictaduras y conflictividad social. Del Partido Revolucionario de los Trabajadores al Partido Socialista de los Trabajadores (1965-1976)
Authors: Mangiantini Martín
Published: November 2018

La investigación aborda la trayectoria de una corriente política que formó parte del amplio abanico de las izquierdas en Argentina, específicamente dentro del campo ideológico del trotskismo, entre los años 1965 y 1976. A lo largo de este período, la misma se manifestó a través de tres estructuras partidarias consecutivas: el Partido Revolucionario de los Trabajadores (PRT) desde su fundación en 1965 hasta su ruptura; el Partido Revolucionario de los Trabajadores-La Verdad (PRT–LV) entre 1968 y 1972 y, finalmente, el Partido Socialista de los Trabajado­res (PST), desde su conformación hasta los inicios de la dictadura cívico-militar acaecida en 1976.El análisis de este tipo de trayectorias militantes posibilita una profundización en torno a una serie de problemas sustantivos de la historia social y política argentina por­que contribuye al estudio de las izquierdas y de las fuerzas políticas presentes desde mediados de los años sesenta hasta la antesala del golpe de Estado de 1976, en este caso, a partir del estudio de un objeto escasamente abordado en perspectiva historiográfica. Posibilita además reconstruir la relación entre esta corriente y el movimiento social en el que pugnó por influir, lo que permite complejizar el análisis de las heterogéneas organi­zaciones revolucionarias presentes en el período.
Supply chain – a key factor of the sustainable development of city centers
Authors: Jardas Mladen , Dundović Čedomir , Badurina-Tomić Paola
Published: November 2018

In the paper importance is given to the organization of the supply chain for a more efficient delivery of goods to city centers. Logistics activities are closely related because they depend on each other. The ultimate goal is to bring the product/goods to the end customer/consumer as soon as possible, on time, at the lowest cost, in perfect condition and in the appropriate quantity. The mutual coordination and cooperation of all participants in the supply chain can result in a satisfied end-user/customer. The development of information – telecommunication technologies – will greatly affect the future development and efficiency of the supply chain by finding new transport solutions that would mostly affect city centers. The paper mostly emphasizes the context of the delivery conditions in Rijeka’s city center with a proposal for the location of a future centralized distribution center.
Competencies of logistics operators for optimisation the external costs within freight logistics solution
Authors: Poletan Jugović Tanja , Vukić Luka
Published: November 2018

Maritime transport logistics outgrows the competence of classic freight forwarders deleting the boundaries among forwarders, brokers, and carriers and creates a new profession, logistics operator. They are now faced with the need for careful planning and coordination among multiple parties for shifting the freight logistics industry towards more sustainable goals. Significant need for political and operational respect of principles of sustainable development, and also external costs in this context, undertakes logistics operators to review their solutions in accordance with adequate knowledge, skills, and competencies. It is particularly important in forecasting the external costs which are not a central business interest. The above mentioned competencies are described focusing on subjects (issues and knowledges) through whom logistics operators should be trained. Moreover, logistics operators have a greater responsibility towards carriers but also an opportunity to reduce not only the cost of transportation but also the external costs within the logistic supply chain. In this paper calculation of external costs is, practically, shown in the example of towing in the port. The old education programs were compared with the new demands of the market. The substantial difference was evident in the subject of Marine Ecology whose content is becoming the central issue of sustainability of transport modalities. New competencies of logistics operators will become the relevant factor of sustainable development and competitiveness on the freight logistics market. That confirm the analysed current projects about present trends in the transport sector in which the green logistics including external costs become the important and binding element of cargo flow planning.
Efficiency and losses analysis of low-pressure feed water heater in steam propulsion system during ship maneuvering period
Authors: Mrzljak Vedran , Poljak Igor , Medica-Viola Vedran
Published: November 2018

Dominant propulsion systems of today’s LNG carriers are steam propulsion systems. Although a number of alternatives are developed, only steam propulsion systems in LNG carriers can fulfill a double function: the function of propulsion and on the other side the combustion of large amounts of BOG (Boil Off Gas) in one or more steam generators. In this paper was provided an analysis of the low-pressure feed water heater, as one of the important components of LNG carrier steam propulsion system. Based on the measured data for all flowing substances throughout the low-pressure feed water heater, it was performed numerical analysis of his energy and exergy efficiency, as well as calculation of energetic and exergetic power losses. The measurements were performed during LNG carrier maneuvering period, what enables insight into the operating parameters of heat exchanger during partial loads of steam propulsion system. From the energetic point of view the low-pressure feed water heater is a nearly perfect balanced device. Analyzed heat exchanger noticeable problems can be seen in exergy efficiency and exergy losses. Exergy represent the maximum available energy potential of any observed component in relation to the environment state. Impact of ambient temperature on the size of the exergy losses has been investigated at the end of conducted analysis. The low-pressure feed water heater is an example of a device which is very well balanced on the one side, even in the conditions of the steam system partial loads, and on the other side his available exergy potential is very poorly exploited.
Construals of self and group: How racial nominalism can promote adaptive intergroup outcomes for interdependent selves
Authors: Tawa John , Montoya Amanda Kay
Published: November 2018

Previous research has found that interdependent self-construals are related to poorer intergroup outcomes. Here we examine interdependent self-construal specifically in relation to comfort in contexts in which people are a numeric minority (i.e., outgroup comfort), and also examine the moderating roles of racial nominalism and racial essentialism. Among a racially diverse sample (N = 577), interdependent self-construals were related to more outgroup comfort. Two dimensions of racial nominalism—humanist and sociopolitical—were established with exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. Humanist, sociopolitical, and essentialist beliefs about race were examined as moderators on the interdependent self-construal and outgroup comfort relationship. Among participants of color with higher sociopolitical beliefs, and unexpectedly among participants with higher essentialist beliefs, interdependent self-construal was more positively related to outgroup comfort. Findings are discussed in relation to theory on self and group level construals, and the role of multicultural education for fostering sociopolitical beliefs about race.

Published: November 2018

Facial attractiveness plays a critical role in social interaction, influencing many different social outcomes. However, the factors that influence facial attractiveness judgments remain relatively poorly understood. Here, we used a sample of 594 young adult female face images to compare the performance of existing theory-driven models of facial attractiveness and a data-driven (i.e., theory-neutral) model. Our data-driven model and a theory-driven model including various traits commonly studied in facial attractiveness research (asymmetry, averageness, sexual dimorphism, body mass index, and representational sparseness) performed similarly well. By contrast, univariate theory-driven models performed relatively poorly. These results (1) highlight the utility of data driven models of facial attractiveness and (2) suggest that theory-driven research on facial attractiveness would benefit from greater adoption of multivariate approaches, rather than the univariate approaches that they currently almost exclusively employ.
Learning to stay employable
Authors: Froehlich Dominik Emanuel , Beausaert Simon , Segers Mien , Gerken Maike
Published: November 2018

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of chronological age and formaland informal learning activities on employability. Furthermore, indirect effects of age on employabilityvia learning activities were tested.Design/methodology/approach – The authors conducted quantitative, cross-sectional surveyresearch (n¼780) in three Dutch and Austrian organizations to study the relationship betweenchronological age, formal and informal learning activities, and employability using structural equationmodeling.Findings – The authors find that both formal and informal learning increase employees’ employability.However, each type of learning contributes to different components of employability. Additionally, theauthors find indirect effects of chronological age on employability via formal learning.Research limitations/implications – The results question the focus on chronological age inorganizational and political decision making and contribute new insights for the management of anincreasingly older workforce.Practical implications – The findings question the predominant use of chronological age asdecisive criterion in organizational and national policies and call for closer examination of stereotypesagainst older employees. Employees should be supported in pursuing learning activities – irrespectiveof their chronological age. The implications of limiting employees’ access to formal learning activitiesmay limit their future employability. Individual employees, however, are in control of their informallearning activities, and this is a very important lever to maintain and develop employability.Social implications – Given the increasing dependency of social welfare systems on older people’sactive participation in the labor market, this study stresses that it is not chronological age per se thataffects people’s employability. This diverges from the way of how chronological age is used in policymaking.Originality/value – This study contributes further evidence for the relationships of age and formaland informal learning on employability. Additionally, it extends previous literature by examiningdifferent effects on different facets of employability, criticizing the prevalent use of chronological age,and investigating potential mediation effects.
Measuring Modernist Novelty
Authors: McGrath Laura , Higgins Devin , Hintze Arend
Published: November 2018

One may as well begin with two overly-cited quotations about novelty. “On or about December, 1910, human character changed.” And, more predictably: “Make It New!” at these two statements about change and innovation have been so frequently cited reveals a contradiction in modernist studies: novelty is commonplace, both for modernist writers and for literary critics. Novelty has become so firmly fixed as a central framing narrative for literary modernism that the two terms—“novelty”, “modernism”—are often treated as synonymous. The period (roughly, 1890-1945) has been defined by its capacities for rupture and the rejection of tradition: a “paradigmatic shift, a major revolt;” ” a ruthless break with any or all preceding historical conditions [...] characterized by a never-ending process of internal ruptures and fragmentations within itself;” “a powerful vortex of historical conditions that coalesce to produce sharp ruptures from the past [...] shattering change.” These revolts, breaks, and ruptures coalesced into the de definitive sense of newness that would come to define the age for modernists and modernist literary critics alike, producing an exhaustive, exhausting commitment to newness in all its forms.
Social causation or social erosion? Evaluating the association between social support and PTSD among Veterans in a transition program
Authors: Cox Daniel W. , Baugh Leah M. , McCloskey Katherine D. , Iyar Megumi
Published: November 2018

Introduction: Social support’s association with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in Veterans is well established. One explanation for this link is social causation – support inhibits PTSD. Inversely, within the social erosion model, PTSD erodes support. The aim of the present study was to examine if the social causation or social erosion model better explained the association between support and PTSD within a psychosocial intervention context. Methods: Veterans ( N = 218) participating in a multimodal transition program were assessed pre-program, post-program, and at 3-month follow-up on their perceived social support and PTSD symptoms. We used path analysis to conduct a three-wave cross-lagged panel model to compare the social erosion and social causation models. Results: PTSD symptoms were associated with attenuated improvements in social support, while social support was not associated with increased reductions in PTSD symptoms. This association was observed from pre- to post-program and from post-program to follow-up. Discussion: These findings support the social erosion model over the social causation model. Clinical implications of PTSD inhibiting interpersonal gains are discussed.

The caseous lymphadenitis is a disease that affects sheep and goats causing economic losses. It is a contagious disease of worldwide occurrence, mainly in the developing countries, occurring in every Brazilian herd, especially in the Northeastern states, notably in Bahia and Pernambuco. Despite having a high prevalence, prevention, diagnosis and treatment are neglected, increasing the risk of contamination among the herds and consequently the decrease of the productivity of these animals and the quality of the product to the consumer. Some prevention methods are being developed, using dead, alive and inactivated bacteria, which may or not to use recombinant DNA technology. The virulence of Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis is associated with cell wall lipids and phosfolipase D, as well as the production of biofilms. The production of these virulence genes increases the survival and growth of the pathogen. The aim of this study was to address in this review the economic impacts of caseous lymphadenitis, epidemiology, pathogenesis and virulence factors and signaling information on different aspects of C. pseudotuberculosis strains producing and non-producing biofilm, seeking to provide subsidies that may contribute to the improvement of vaccines and diagnosis of this disease of small ruminants.

In the Republic of Kazakhstan, regulatory assessment of land plots is applied. This is not suitable for many professionals; therefore, some of them believe that in Kazakhstan the method of determining the estimated value is imperfect and needs to be improved. Therefore, other specific methods are being developed that are applicable only to Kazakhstani conditions. But they have not yet become widespread in our country.

The methodology of system design of modern intelligent control systems in the electric power industry and their features are considered when providing the required comfort in multi-zone buildings with the use of multi-agent power consumption and comfort management systems. This control system covers all the monitored zones of the building and, if necessary, allows providing the greatest possible overall comfort in the building while reducing the available electric power.
Where to Now?
Authors: Moore Josephine , Gustafson Thane
Published: November 2018

This article examines Germany’s efforts to transition to a less carbon
intensive economy. It follows the origins of the ongoing Energiewende and the
civil mentality that allowed Germany to become a leader in the transition to a
cleaner future; while also critically analyzing the country’s capacity to in fact
achieve those targets, looking closely at both the achievements and shortcomings
of existing policies. To date, the focus has largely been on reforming electricity
generation; however, as the Energiewende moves along focus must move
beyond just sustainability to address other parts of energy policy including
energy security and affordability. Beyond just generation attention must also
move to sectors such as transportation and construction.
Reflecting on the mobile academic
Authors: Bönisch-Brednich Brigitte
Published: November 2018

This article examines what it means to be an academic in the knowledge
economy, using auto-ethnographic writing or storytelling as its
starting point. Although academic mobility has been researched for
about a decade, deep listening and deep reading in the context of ethnography
have not been utilised in analysing what it means to move in
this global space. To conduct this exercise, fellows from the European
Union-funded Universities in the Knowledge Economy project who
were all mobile academics, were invited to participate in ethnographic
writing workshops and explore the personal, subjective elements of
narrating their experiences of being mobile and being migrants. I aim
to not only present the narratives of colleagues who populate the
global knowledge economy but also analyse them and ask if certain
ideal forms of narrative habitus support academic mobility.

ANALISIS TINGKAT EFESIENSI PENGUNAAN FAKTOR PRODUKSI USAHATANI PADI VARIETAS UNGGUL NASIONAL, UNGGUL LOKAL DAN HIBRIDA PADA SAWAH TADAH HUJAN DI KECAMATAN BANGKINANG KABUPATEN KAMPAR
Authors: Jamalludin Jamalludin
Published: November 2018

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk penggunaan faktor produksi, biaya produk, produksi pendapatan dan efisiensi usahatani padi sawah tadah hujan varietas unggul nasional, unggul lokal dan hibrida di Kecamatan Bangkinang Seberang. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode survey. Teknik pengambilan sampel petani padi sawah tadah hujan dilakukan dengan memakai metode Malti Stake Sampling dan jumlah petani sebanyak 90 orang. Analisis efisiensi teknis adalah penggunaan faktor produksi yang optimal untuk menghasilkan produksi yang maksimal. Efisiensi teknis diperoleh dari hasil perkalian antara elastisitas produksi dengan produksi dan dibagi dengan    rata – rata input, efisiensi penggunaan input secara teknis ini tercapai pada saat Nilai produk marjinal (NPM) sama dengan produksi rata-rata (PR). Koefisien regresi dari ketiga varietas yang sekaligus menjadi koefisien elastisitas  dari faktor produksi, dengan demikian dapat  disimpulkan bahwa Luas Lahan, Benih, Pupuk Urea, Pupuk SP36, Pupuk NPK, Pupuk Organik, Pestisida dan Tenaga kerja yang dialokasikan oleh petani belum efisien secara teknis karena, nilai koefisien regresinya tidak sama dengan nol. Sedangkan secara ekonomis, diperoleh nilai rasio antara nilai produk marjinal Xi dengan harga Xi untuk Luas lahan, Benih, Pupuk, Pestisida dan Tenaga kerja maka pengalokasiannya belum efisien secara ekonomis..

Authors: Mufti Mufti , Zargustin Dedi
Published: November 2018

Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara luas penguasaan lahan usahatani padi sawah terhadap tingkat kemiskinan di Desa Padang Mutung Kecamatan Kampar.

Penelitian ini dilakukan di Desa Padang Mutung Kecamatan Kampar Kabupaten Kampar Provinsi Riau bulan November 2016  sampai dengan Januari 201. Anggota populasi adalah petani padi sawah yang berjumlah 310 KK, yang dibagi atas 2 strata yaitu strata I (197 KK), strata II (113 KK). Selanjutnya dari masing-masing strata diambil 10% dari anggota populasi sebagai responden  yang berjumlah 32 KK.

Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode penelitian deskriptif dan kuantitatif. Data diolah meliputi data tentang pendapatan keluarga (rumah tangga). Sementara tingkat kemiskinan diukur dengan menggunakan konsep Sajogyo. Untuk menganalisis hubungan luas penguasaan lahan dengan tingkat kemiskinan menggunakan analisis Chi square. Hasil olahan data akan dianalisis sampai kepada penarikan kesimpulan dan pelaporan.

Berdasarkan hasil analisis uji Pearson Chi-Square  terhadap luas lahan  berdasarkan tingkat kemiskinan (tidak miskin; miskin), (χ² = 4,571,  p < 0.05), menunjukkan hasil  yang signifikan antara luas lahan  yang dimiliki dengan tingkat kemiskinan. Ini berarti hipotesis yang menyatakan bahwa  terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara  luas lahan  dengan tingkat kemiskinan, diterima.
