Physical activity of secondary and performing arts high school students in relation to physical education assessment
Authors: Gadliauskaitė Živilė , Igarienė Asta , Gruodytė-Račienė Rita
Published: December 2016

The aim of this study was to assess whether the way of evaluation in Physical Education (PE) classes (i.e. by a mark or being credited as ‘pass’ or ‘fail’) is associated with physical activity (PA) of high school students, and whether there are differences if students are of secondary or performing arts high school. The study involved 486 students of 9–12th grades from three secondary and three performing arts high schools in one of the biggest cities of Lithuania. Analyzing secondary high school students’ PA, estimated by modified International PA Questionnaire, in relation to assessment system in PE, statistically significant (p<0.01) differences were found only in vigorous PA (VPA), i.e. students, who are assessed by marks in PE, are involved in VPA more frequently than those who are being rated ‘pass’ or ‘fail’. A reverse situation was observed in performing arts high school students: more students, who are being rated ‘pass’ or ‘fail’ in PE, are involved in vigorous and moderate PA more frequently comparing to students who are assessed by a mark. We may conclude that the assessment mode in PE classes may influence PA of schoolchildren, but differently for secondary and performing arts high school students.

Authors: Arend Mati , Akel Jaanus , Haabpiht Liisa , Jürgenson Janno
Published: December 2016

The aim of this study was to determine the lifetime prevalence and point prevalence of low back pain (LBP), the related pain intensity and the rowing-related aggravating factors for LBP in Estonian rowers. A total of 78 rowers (38 female and 40 male subjects) completed a single questionnaire at the start of the competitive rowing season to determine lifetime and point prevalence, pain intensity and rowing-related LBP aggravating factors. The lifetime prevalence was high in both male and female rowers (90% and 93%, respectively), and the reported point prevalence of LBP was 10% in males and 21.1% in females. Female rowers reported significantly higher (p=0.02) LBP intensity when training 7–16 hours per week, when compared to females whose training volume was less than six hours per week. Rowing-related LBP aggravated factors were long rowing workouts, weight training and sitting for a long period of time. LBP is highly prevalent in rowers and female rowers seemed to be more prone to developing higher intensity LBP when training loads increased. Coaches should cooperate more with sports medicine specialists to better prepare female athletes core endurance to tolerate longer duration rowing workouts and prevent LBP.

Authors: Kim Su-In , Lee Seung-Min , Lee Chung-Yeol , Son Hong-Joo , Hwang Dae-Youn , Lee Hee-sup , Kim Dong-Seob
Published: December 2016

Asparagus Cochinchinensis is known to ameliorate respiratory disease. We evaluated the antimicrobial activity of non-fermented and fermented A. cochinchinensis using lactic acid bacteria and investigated the physicochemical characteristics of the fermented A.cochinchinensis. Non-fermented A.cochinchinensis showed lower levels of antimicrobial activity than the fermented A.cochinchinensis. Ethyl acetate (EtOAc) extracts of the fermented A. cochinchinensis showed antimicrobial activities against the indicator strains at lower minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). The MIC of the EtOAc extract of non-fermented A. cochinchinensis against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Stphylococcus aureus were 100, 75, and 100 mg/ml. In contrast, the MIC of the EtOAc extract of ACLM was 25 mg/mL against E. coli. The MIC of the EtOAc extract of ACLS was 12.5 mg/mL against S.epidermidis, and the MIC of the EtOAc extract ofACLP was 12.5 mg/mL against S.aureus. The viable cell number, pH, and acidity of A. cochinchinensis fermented by Lactobacillussakei 383 were similar to those of A. cochinchinensis fermented by Leuconostocmesenteroides 4395, but were different from those of A. cochinchinensis fermented by Lactobacillus.plantarum KCCM 11322. These results suggested that the fermented A. cochinchinensis by lactic acid bacteria may be a good candidate for application to ameliorate respiratory disease.
Effect of Superheated Steam Treatment on the Rancidity of Brown Rice
Authors: Kim Go Rae , Lee Seok Hoon , Park Juan , Shin Jung-Kue
Published: December 2016

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of superheated steam (SHS) treatment on the inactivation of an enzyme involved in the racidity of brown rice as well as the degree of rancidity during storage of brown. Brown rice was treated with SHS at temperatures of 160°C, 200°C, and 240°C, and the result showed that the degree of starch damage was higher in the brown rice treated with SHS at higher temperature. Lipoxygenase was inactivated by treating with SHS for 20 s at 160°C, 15 s at 200°C, or 5 s at 240°C. The acidity and sensory evaluation of the brown rice treated with SHS showed that the acidity was decreased as the SHS treatment increased and SHS temperature became higher. The result of the sensory evaluation showed a similar tendency. These results show that the SHS treatment has potential as a method for improving the brown rice storage quality.

Higiene, doença e morte no recolhimento de Santa Maria Madalena de Braga (século XVIII)
Authors: Araújo Maria Marta Lobo de
Published: December 2016

Neste trabalho analisamos as práticas de higiene, a doença e a morte no recolhimento de Santa Maria Madalena ao longo do século XVIII, realçando alguns aspetos menos trabalhados na bibliografia existente sobre estas instituições. Considerada a especificidade da instituição, cuidar da higiene e da saúde das suas internadas era fundamental para preservar a saúde da comunidade. Os procedimentos de higiene e a atitude perante a doença integram a nossa análise, ao mesmo tempo, que refletimos sobre a maneira como se preparavam e enfrentavam a morte. Neste campo, sublinhamos aspetos como os sacramentos, os acompanhamentos, os ofícios divinos e o local de sepultura.
Entre o Hospital Geral e a Casa dos Expostos: assistência à infância e transformação dos espaços da Misericórdia carioca (Rio de Janeiro, 1870-1920)
Authors: Sanglard Gisele
Published: December 2016

Este artigo busca analisar a assistência à infância oferecida pela Santa Casa da Misericórdia do Rio de Janeiro no período em que ainda não havia, no Brasil, instituições voltadas para a saúde da criança. A principal hipótese com a qual estarei trabalhando é de que a Casa dos Expostos passou a exercer, paulatinamente, funções distintas daquelas de que fora inicialmente incumbida. Nessa perspectiva, a linha de continuidade dar- -se-ia pela manutenção do nome, de sua vinculação à Misericórdia e ao simbolismo e ritualística da Irmandade. Para demonstrar essa hipótese estarei me baseando em um conjunto documental guardado na antiga Casa dos Expostos, composto de dois livros em que se registravam as crianças para lá encaminhadas a fim de serem aleitadas enquanto suas mães eram atendidas no Hospital Geral da Misericórdia. Essa documentação permite conhecermos o cotidiano da Irmandade na assistência à criança desamparada, categoria que começa a frequentar os corredores da Casados Expostos, a partir da década de 1870; bem como questões relativas aos quadros de saúde e doença destas crianças e, em alguns casos,de suas mães; raça e cultura material.
Timor Português – Produção e Mercados na década de 1920
Authors: Reis Célia
Published: December 2016

A colónia portuguesa de Timor apresentava--se com múltiplas possibilidades de exploração, mas a realidade era diferente. Neste artigo, baseado nos relatórios e ofícios dos gerentes do Banco Nacional Ultramarino na década de 1920, analisam-se as suas principais produções agrícolas, verifica-se a dificuldade da exploração petrolífera e salientam-se as relações comerciais; consideram-se igualmente os obstáculos ao desenvolvimento local. Estes deviam-se a razões locais, como a falta de infraestruturas, as políticas seguidas e a falta de direção pela mudança de governadores, mas também à dificuldade de afirmação internacional da colónia, mantendo-se na dependência dos mercados vizinhos.

University internships in Spain: what is missing for its stakeholders?
Authors: Vallejo Peña Francisco Alberto , Herrera Ballesteros Juan
Published: December 2016

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the performance of the current university internship programs, with a particular focus on the present needs of the main stakeholders: the students and businesses. The study draws on the interpretive perspective of organizational culture (Berger and Luckmann), which stresses the difficulty of integrating subworlds with different codes, practices and habits. The results of a case study on the program run by University of Cadiz are then presented through a qualitative analysis. Otherwise, the conclusions have been compared with those obtained in recent research conducted by Spanish universities (Granada, UNED, Politécnica de Valencia, Politécnica de Madrid, Carlos III and Lleida).

Published: December 2016

Se realizó un estudio no experimental, trasversal y exploratorio con una selección no probabilística de 120 trabajadores migrantes de una localidad del Estado de México con la finalidad de establecer la confiabilidad y la validez de un instrumento que midió ocho dimensiones de la salud ocupacional. A partir de la estimación de parámetros de confiabilidad y validez ⌠alfa = 0,771; χ2 = 135,23 (35gl) p = 0,000; KMO = 0,793: 23% y 20% de la varianza explicada para el primer y segundo factor⌡ se encontraron correlaciones positivas y significativas entre variables que explicarían la salud ocupacional conformada por expectativas de lecto-escritura con oportunidades esperadas (r = 0,687; p = 0,001), éstas últimas con capacidades (r = 0,667; p < 0,05) y éstas con bienestar subjetivo (r = 0,578; p < 0,05). A partir de la revisión de la literatura se advierte la inclusión de variables normativas y valorativas que explicarían cuatro rutas lógicas de salud ocupacional.
Friedrich Nietzsche: sobre la educación. Una consideración intempestiva
Authors: Bárcena Orbe Fernando
Published: December 2016

Se propone en este artículo una consideración intempestiva sobre la educación, desde un punto de vista nietzscheano. El principal propósito es pensar cierto desahucio contemporáneo de la experiencia de la educación entre las generaciones. Cuando sólo se enseña y transmite lo que tiene demanda social, la erosión de la educación como experiencia impredecible de formación (Bildung) resulta inevitable. Con el auge de la llamada «sociedad del aprendizaje», la insistencia en la función democrática de la educación escolar se ha visto acompañada por un cúmulo de demandas pedagógicas, provenientes de la sociedad y el mercado, cuyo efecto más inmediato es una sensación de asfixia sobre la experiencia educativa del aprender. Como se va a sostener en este texto, la educación tiene que ver no con lo posible, sino con lo imposible; no con las continuidades, sino con las interrupciones; no con la obsesión por la acción, sino con la pasividad y la demora.
Pedagogía del cuerpo y acompañamiento, una combinación al servicio de los retos de la educación
Authors: PallarÈs Piquer Marc , Traver Martí Joan , Planella Jordi
Published: December 2016

El artículo se ocupa de la pedagogía del cuerpo y de la relación ética conocida como acompañamiento. Se presentan como elementos de la práctica educativa con el objetivo de determinar una visión crítica que sirva al pedagogo/a para analizar sus métodos y sus actos de intervención. Se llega a la conclusión de que se hace necesario ubicar a la Pedagogía en una intersección doblemente mediada: mediada con el cuerpo, como ámbito de educación que construye, y mediada por el acompañamiento, para que pueda devenir un elemento de intervención. Esta doble mediación habilita a la Pedagogía para desarrollar competencias adecuadas y la dota de un conocimiento de la educación que le permite fijar principios de intervención al servicio del dominio de la acción y, por consiguiente, le proporciona mecanismos para afrontar desafíos epistemológicos que minimicen la desconfianza creada en los últimos tiempos.
Operacionalización e indicadores de la pedagogía de la alteridad
Authors: Osuna Lever Cecilia , Díaz López Karla María , López Ornelas Maricela
Published: December 2016

El presente artículo no pretende orientarse en la profundización filosófico-antropológica de la Pedagogía de la Alteridad, cuyo sustento teórico se remonta a los planteamientos de Lévinas, Horkheimer, Adorno y Pedro Ortega. Ni pretende abonar elementos teóricos a dicho constructo, sino que aporta un modelo categorial construido según los planteamientos que lo forman. La importancia de esta aportación radica en que el modelo categorial permite hacer operativos los elementos del discurso, para ser utilizados en la construcción de instrumentos en estudios empíricos. El modelo está conformado por una metacategoría o variable principal –pedagogía de la alteridad– y cuatro categorías: perfil del profesor, perfil del alumno, función de la escuela y función de la familia, con sus características e indicadores, que son el insumo para el diseño de instrumentos de recolección de datos.
Sobre la comprensión de las «prácticas» gitanas. Estimular la investigación educativa para pasar de «lo que es el caso» a «lo que hay que hacer»
Authors: Hemelsoet Elias , Smeyers Paul
Published: December 2016

Generalmente, los gitanos son vistos como muy diferentes de la sociedad mayoritaria. Este artículo tiene un doble objetivo. En primer lugar, se exploran estas diferencias y se intenta dar sentido a las prácticas sociales de los gitanos. Para lograr esto, el marco teórico de Wittgenstein, Winch y otros sobre el significado y las prácticas sociales se aplica a esta subcultura. En segundo lugar, este «caso extremo» extiende el marco teórico hasta sus límites. Sin embargo, se argumenta que es posible dar expresión a esta experiencia de gran diferencia. La noción de Wittgenstein de «saber cómo continuar» urge la investigación educativa para superar «lo que es el caso» y llegar a «lo que hay que hacer». Por medio de ejemplos empíricos tomados de la investigación en la educación de los niños gitanos, se argumenta de esta manera la necesidad de adoptar este nuevo paso. Se ofrecen respuestas en cuanto a «cómo continuar» en relación con el caso investigado y se exploran las posibilidades como restricciones tanto del marco teórico como de la investigación educativa.

JUSTIÇA RESTAURATIVA NA CONTEMPORANIEDADE E NO PORVIR: O DIÁLOGO DEMOCRÁTICO, SENSÍVEL E HUMANO COM O DIREITO
Authors: Philippi Patrícia Pasqualini
Published: December 2016

O objeto dessa pesquisa e que se revelou e materializou no artigo que segue,  volta-se a um novo ideal de justiça, e consequentemente, do Direito.  Um direito que por meio da Justiça Restaurativa e suas redes, propõe a solução dos conflitos de forma democrática, sensível e reparadora. No caminho aberto pela Justiça Restaurativa o diálogo e o consenso  dão o tom da reparação do mal sofrido pela vítima, substituindo-se o  atual Sistema Penal, fulcrado no Direito penal retributivo, pernicioso e penalizador, por uma Justiça Restaurativa moldada nos laços do que se espera de uma Sociedade civilizada e humana.  A pretensão do presente artigo é explorar essa possibilidade e dar de um novo viés para  o Direito, sobretudo, no âmbito do Sistema Penal, à base de uma Justiça de entendimento e aproximação entre vítima e acusado. Logo, não se esgota aqui o assunto. Muito pelo contrário. Apenas se propõe um novo e diferente olhar para o Direito e a solução dos conflitos penais.  Para a composição deste artigo, foi utilizado o Método Indutivo tanto na fase de investigação quanto na apresentação do relato dos seus resultados e, conjuntamente, foram adotadas as Técnicas do Referente, da Categoria, do Conceito Operacional e da Pesquisa Bibliográfica.
A JURISPRUDÊNCIA COMO PROPOSTA DE COESÃO ENTRE ESTADO E SOCIEDADE
Authors: Filho Tarcísio Germano de Lemos , Abreu Pedro Manoel , Savaris José Antonio
Published: December 2016

A crescente demanda por soluções de relevância social e política, que os outros segmentos do poder estatal não conseguiram escoar, torna a Jurisdição alvo de expectativas que poderão ser acolhidas como legítimas, desde que o seu diálogo com a Sociedade se firme a partir da Consciência Jurídica de ambos os interlocutores. Surge, nesse contexto, a Jurisprudência como guardiã de valores positivados, dentro de uma perspectiva que atenda à dinâmica social e, ao mesmo tempo, resguarde o ordenamento jurídico.
Jewish Archival Holdings in the Five New States of Germany: Creating an Inventory
Authors: Jacobs Robert
Published: December 2016

The Leo Baeck Institute, New York, is creating a database registering the Jewish archival holdings of repositories in the five new states of Germany. The Colloquium about Problems and Issues in Jewish Archives and Historiography in the Five New States of Germany, led to the shaping of a project utilizing the lnstitute's experience in computer-based cataloging, its expertise in the formulation and expansion of a German-language version of Library of Congress subject headings, and the ground-breaking research surveys of Helmut Eschwege. The project, funded by the German Interior Ministry, Section for Religious Affairs, is administered through the Historische Kornmission zu Berlin, under the academic guidance of Prof. Reinhard RÃ¼rup, chairman of the LBl's Academic Council in Germany. Further cooperative projects to refine the cataloging of Jewish holdings are in the process of development with the state and local archives in the new states. This interim report comes near the halfway point in a two-year funded project. Planning and technical aspects are described. Preliminary reports of findings illustrate the value of the work.

Authors: Gillespie Pamela
Published: December 2016

Can a single set of centrally supplied descriptive access points, subject headings, and classification numbers meet the needs of all types of library users? Cataloging Heresy, the expanded proceedings of the 1991 Congress for Librarians held at St. John's University, addresses the issue of shared, homogeneous cataloging from the viewpoints of professionals in various library and information technology settings. This review discusses the papers presented from the perspective of their implications for access to and description of Judaica materials.
The RLIN Cataloging Category (CC) Code and Hebraica Cataloging at Yeshiva University Library
Authors: Malamud Rebecca
Published: December 2016

In doing Hebraica cataloging on RLIN, Yeshiva University (YU) librarians provide full title and statement of responsibility data in the original script. YU catalogers do not, however, provide full romanization of these elements, but stop after the title proper. The Research Libraries Group's definition of cataloging levels requires YU to code its records as less-than-full. It is argued in this paper that the Cataloging Category codes mask the quality of records containing complete bibliographic data in the original script, and that libraries in putting this data are penalized financially.
Hebrew Card Production from RLIN Records at the Klau Library
Authors: Wolfson Laurel S.
Published: December 2016

While the RUN bibliographic utility fully supports display and search capabilities of Hebrew script in bibliographic records, its card program is not able to produce cards that include Hebrew script. Hebrew Union College Library commissioned the writing of software to utilize existing RLIN functions to download Hebrew script records for local card production. However, modifications of the records are required to accommodate the idiosyncrasies of both RLIN and the local software.
Anomalies in RLIN Hebraica Records: Reflections of a Recent Arrival on the Cataloging Scene
Authors: Miller Clifford
Published: December 2016

Hebraica records on the Research Libraries Information Network feature many inconsistencies in romanization, descriptive cataloging, and form of heading. The categories of inconsistency are outlined, and examples of the variations found on RLIN are provided and discussed from the perspective of a novice cataloger. Classic Hebrew grammar and Biblical sources are often cited as authorities for the correct forms, which may not be found in Library of Congress records. Local policies of the Jewish Theological Seminary regarding name and subject headings for Judaica are included.
Hebraica Authority Control at Brandeis
Authors: Katchen Rosalie
Published: December 2016

Brandeis University Libraries has maintained separate authority files for all names written on title pages in Hebraic script-for personal, corporate, place, and conference headings. The files enable the cataloger to search in roman or Hebraic script. This paper reviews the history of the Hebraica authority files, their organization, changes in usage, adaptation to AACR2, and their reactivation when Hebrew script became available on RLIN. Current usage is examined in light of RLIN and the accommodation of nonroman scripts in the USMARC authorities format.
Gender Portrayal in Jewish Children's Literature
Authors: Cole Ellen
Published: December 2016

Current concerns with equality and equity focus the spotlight on gender, especially in a patriarchal religion and its observances, customs, and literature. When boys and girls read Jewish books they receive an image through word and picture of Jewish girls and women. This image can vary if the subject of the story is religious or cultural, if the time frame is past or present, if the locale is familiar or foreign, or if the plot conflict involves a male or another female. Gender can shift the fulcrum when the world seesaws between unfair and un equal.

Books contain implicit and explicit norms about 'what little girls are made of.' This article examines the picture of the Jewish female found on the pages of various types of children's books including biblical, religious, historical, and secular experiences at reading levels from primary through young adult (Kindergarten-High School).
Legend in Jewish Children's Literature
Authors: Frankel Ellen
Published: December 2016

Until recent times, Jewish children's legends did not exist as a separate literature. Children learned stories either from classical Jewish sources, family members, or traveling story tellers.

Recent interest in and publication of Jewish children's stories represent both a boon and a danger. Contemporary versions of traditional tales blur the distinctions between fiction and folklore, challenging the inherent conservatism of the folk process.

What makes a particular story Jewish? Jewish tales attempt to find meaning and divine purpose in national and personal events. They also resonate with old voices—"proof-texts" from the Bible and rabbinic writings—as well as new voices continuing ancient conversations and debates. The tales are often driven by the process of midrash, amplifying and interpreting older narratives.

The subject matter of Jewish legends has changed in the wake of national exile and persecution. Post-exilic tales reflect the "double-edged" experience of Jewish life the triumph of Jewish wit and the shame of Jewish powerlessness. Today's tales continue this tradition but add to the folkloric process the new element of individual authorship.
Writing Library Policy to Avoid Challenges in Jewish School Libraries
Authors: Rosenthal Marjorie
Published: December 2016

The issue of intellectual freedom and its maintenance under the onslaught of those whose personal priorities and agendas dictate the censorship of library materials, is not one that is confined to any one type of institution. Challenges to textbooks and library books have increased alarmingly in the last few years in public and private, religious as well as secular, schools and libraries in our society to the point where librarians must question the possibility of controversy in titles on the Holocaust, along with the more traditional confrontations over sex and witchcraft.
What is the psychology behind this insidious trend? What can one do when one's library materials are challenged either by members of the community or by administrators? Who can one call upon for help? Most important, how can this problem be avoided altogether, or defused when it does occur? This paper contains the answers to all of these questions. In addition, it suggests how to actually begin writing a policy for materials selection which contains the mechanisms for dealing with attacks on our First Amendment freedoms.

Buying and Selling Hebraica and Judaica: A Guide to the Auction Market for Librarians and Collectors
Authors: Shay Elissa Sara
Published: December 2016

Auction houses that conduct sales of Hebraica and Judaica offer a variety of services to Judaica libraries and opportunities to Judaica librarians. Through auction, libraries purchase new books, sell duplicate or out-of-scope material, and obtain appraisals of property being donated, acquired, or insured. Judaica librarians benefit by interacting with the auction house specialist, who is a source of information on market trends, and by visiting the exhibitions held prior to auctions for the rare opportunity to examine—firsthand—material which is otherwise unavailable. Auction catalogues of Hebrew and Jewish printed books constitute a rich source for research in this very specialized field of librarianship.
Appraising Judaica and Hebraica Books: The Treasures on Your Shelves
Authors: Tuchman Maurice
Published: December 2016

The four purposes for which one may need a book appraisal are: income tax and charitable presentation to institutions, insurance, buying and selling, and estate requirements. Some of the criteria used to determine whether it is worthwhile to obtain an appraisal of a book collection are: age, content, illustrations, place of publication, publisher, condition of the items, marginal notes, and previous owners. The evaluation of various items that may be donated to a synagogue or center library—English-language Judaica, Hebrew and Yiddish books, archival and primary source material—is also discussed.

A study of libration points in CR3BP under albedo effect
Authors: Idrisi M Javed
Published: December 2016

In this paper this is investigated how albedo perturbed the libration points from its original position? It is found that there exist five libration points, three collinear and two non-collinear and all the libration points are affected by Albedo. The non-collinear libration points are stable for a critical value of mass parameter µ ≤ µc, where µc = µo − (0.00891747 + 0.222579k)α (µo is the critical mass parameter for classical case) but collinear libration points are still unstable.

Mineral elements in borehole water from Northern and Western geo-political zones of Nasarawa state, Nigeria
Authors: Tukura Bitrus Wokhe , G. Igube Ibrahimn
Published: December 2016

Mineral element contents in potable water at high concentrations may affect its quality. Concentrations of Na+, K+, Ca2+, and Mg2+ were determined in water from some boreholes in some parts of Nasarawa state, Nigeria. Levels of Na+ and K+ were determined using flame photometry, while Ca2+ and Mg2+ were quantified with the aid of atomic absorption spectrometry method. Concentrations of Ca2+ (10 – 42 mg/L) and Mg2+ (0.03 – 1.63 mg/L) were relatively low in the water samples. Nasarawa Toto (NTT) recorded the highest levels of mineral elements (0.26 – 10.61 mg/L). Mean concentrations of Na+ (7.59 – 11.08 mg/L) and Mg2+ (0.13 – 0.56 mg/L) were highest and lowest respectively. The levels of mineral elements according to studied areas varied in the order of NTT > NEG (Nasarawa Eggon) > KRV (Karu) > AKW (Akwanga) > KEF (Keffi) > GRU (Garaku). The ratios of Na/K for borehole water at Wayo (3.35) and Wamba Kurmi (3.55) at Wamba (WAM) areas were the closest to the optimal ratio of 3: 1 for the control of cardiovascular diseases, while Ca/Mg ratios were above the optimal ratio of 2:1. Total hardness levels (10 – 48 mgCaCO3/L) for water from the boreholes were < 60 mg/L, therefore, classified as being soft in nature. Mineral element concentrations in water from the boreholes were within the WHO acceptable limits for drinking water.

The sound velocities and some thermal properties of BeX (X=S, Se and Te) beryllium-chalcogenides large band gaps semiconductors have been estimated by employing some usual theoretical and emperical formulas. The lattice parameters and the elastic stiffness constants used here are taken from the literature. The longitudinal, transverse and average elastic wave velocities, the Debye temperature, the melting temperature, the thermal conductivity and the Grüneisen parameter are successfully predicted and analyzed in comparison with the available experimental and theoretical data. In general, our obtained results of these quantities agree well with the experimental and other theoretical data of the literature.

Published: December 2016

Free living nitrogen fixing bacteria were isolated from soil on Jensen agar plates and were characterized phylogenetically by 16S rDNA sequence analysis. All the isolates (VS1, VS2, VS3, VS4) were Gram –ve, rod shaped. Antibiotic test revealed VS2 to be resistant to ampicillin and VS4 was resistant to both ampicillin and kanamycin; otherwise all the isolates were sensitive to chloramphenicol. Nitrogen fixation was studied by the estimation of total nitrogen and available nitrogen fixed by cultures in the medium and compared with the control culture of Azotobacter CBD15 (Azo) procured from IARI. VS2 and VS3 fixed 12.02 ppm/ml and 10.635 ppm/ml as available nitrogen content and 14.44 ppm/ml and 18.73 ppm/ml as total nitrogen content. 16S rDNA studies revealed identification of the isolates- Pseudomonas sp. (VS2) and Paenibacillus sp. (VS3 and VS4). VS3 and VS4 showed 98% similarity with P. borealis. Soils from which these microbes isolated were also characterized to understand the environment of these microbes. The pH and chemical characterization (Organic Carbon, Phosphorus, Sulphur, heavy metal analysis of different metals e.g. Zn, Cu, Cr, Pb, Ni and water holding capacity) of the soils showed them to be slightly alkaline and clayey loamy. Cloning of VS2 was done successfully with plasmid pMMB277 isolated from E. coli 2842.The significance of this study lies in the isolation of those bacteria which are comparable in their nitrogen fixing potential to Azotobacter.

In this study, it is aimed to analyze self-esteem levels of the male and female students in the School of Physical Education and Sports in different provinces between 2015-2016 years who participated in football contests in Balıkesir University. The sample of the analysis is formed with 76 female and 54 male football players for a total of 130 individuals participated on a voluntary basis, who are students of Physical Education and Sports in different provinces of Turkey.In this study, individuals have been applied two-part questionnaire. In the first part demographic features and in the second part Cooper Smith Self-Esteem Inventory consisting of 25 items have been used. The obtained data have been recorded in silico by using a packaged software named SPSS 20. On the purpose of testing hypothesis of the study; normality tests, frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, credibility analysis, MWU test and Kruskal Wallish H tests have been applied.As seen in Kruskal Wallis H test table, self-esteem scores do not differ according to age. (p>0, 05). In MWU test result, there is no significant difference between male and females in terms of self-esteem scores. (p>0, 05). Self-esteem scores do not differ according to the alma mater in statistical terms. (p>0, 05). As a result of Krushkal Wallis H test carried out to determine if self-esteem scores differ according to the participants who do sports in different frequency, it is identified that self-esteem scores significantly differ according to frequency of doing sports. (p<0, 05). In order to determine between which groups have difference in question, with Mann Whitney U test; potential all pairwise comparisons have been done and rarely sports doer’s self-esteem scores averages are quite low when compared to the on occasion and regularly doers; it is determined that there is no significant difference in terms of self- esteem scores between participants who do sports in a club and who do not. (p>0, 05).As a result, individuals studying at Physical Education and Sports schools’ self-esteem scores do not differ from each other according to their ages, gender, doing sports in clubs but differ according to frequency of doing sports. Physical education and sports’ being positive provides a chance to get closer to self-esteem concept. It is taught that it is important in terms of determination of self-esteem levels.

In this study, the effectiveness of peer assessment, which has an important role in measurement and evaluation, was attempted to be defined. For this purpose, performance task, which is one of the alternative assessment techniques, was evaluated with the help of a scoring rubric prepared by the researchers.  As a basic research, the working group was 41 sophomore students and their instructor. Three of 41 students were acted as rater and they rated their 38 peers’ performances with the instructor. The analysis of the data was carried out by using fully crossed two-facet design (sxtxr) of generalizability theory in three steps: G-studies for peer and peers-instructor ratings and D-study for peer ratings. According to the results of the G studies, the reliability coefficient obtained from the peer ratings and peer-instructor ratings were quite high (0.86 and 0.82 respectively). According to the result of the D study of peer ratings, just two peer raters are enough for getting high reliability coefficient. With the help of the gained results, it is suggested that peer assessment, which is effective on learning and decision making processes of students, should be used more often in education systems.

A conservação de plantas ex situ com a aplicação de técnicas de cultura de tecidos de plantas se baseia na manutenção de coleções em laboratório por crescimento lento ou criopreservação. O sorbitol tem sido recomendado para indução de estresse hídrico com finalidade de induzir um crescimento lento em culturas de mangaba in vitro possibilitando a sua conservação.  O objetivo do trabalho foi de quantificar a prolina em segmentos nodais e foliares de mangabeira submetidas a diferentes condições de estresse osmótico para fins de conservação por crescimento lento. Microestacas contendo dois segmentos nodais e quatro folhas foram inoculados em tubos de ensaio (35 mm x 127 mm) com tampa plástica contendo 25 mL de meio de cultura de MS suplementado com 1 mg.L-1 de ácido indol acético (AIA), 1 mg.L-1 de benzilaminopurina (BAP), 30 g.L-1 de sacarose e gelificado com 3 g.L-1 de Phytagel®. Foram avaliadas diferentes concentrações de sorbitol (0;10; 20 e 40 g.L-1). Aos 30 dias após a inoculação foi realizada a quantificação da prolina em µmol.g-1 de massa fresca de folha e segmento caulinar. O maior acúmulo de prolina foi detectado em segmentos caulinares (6,37 µmol de prolina.g-1 massa fresca) em comparação com amostras foliares (2,60  µmol de prolina.g-1 massa fresca). Não houve efeito significativo do sorbitol e sua interação com tipo de amostras para o teor de prolina. A presença de prolina mesmo na ausência do sorbitol, pode indicar um possível ajustamento osmótico natural.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o segundo ano de produção de grãos de pinhão-manso, em função da diferenciação de lâminas de irrigação e doses de potássio, na cidade de Lavras, sul do Estado de Minas Gerais. Para isso, o experimento foi delineado em blocos casualizados, em esquema de parcelas subdivididas, com quatro repetições. Aplicaram-se quatro lâminas de irrigação com base na porcentagem do saldo entre a evaporação acumulada do tanque Classe A (ECA) e as precipitações, sendo as seguintes: L0 - sem irrigação, e L40, L80 e L120, como sendo 40, 80 e 120% do saldo respectivamente, e quatro doses de potássio que foram de: K30 – 30; K60 – 60; K90 – 90; e K120 - 120 kg ha-1, aplicadas via água de irrigação por gotejamento. Os resultados mostraram que a utilização da irrigação proporcionou efeito significativo na produtividade e na eficiência no uso da água do segundo ano de produção de grãos de pinhão-manso. Os tratamentos referentes à dosagem de potássio não influenciaram significativamente a produtividade de grãos, no entanto influenciaram a eficiência no uso da água, atingindo valor máximo quando se utilizou a dosagem de 120 kg ha-1.
