Otomatik Portakal'da Batının Uygarlıktan Uzaklaşma Süreci ve Burgess'in Bu Sürec
Authors: Eren Zerrin
Published: September 2018

Batı toplumları kendilerinin diğer ülkelerden daha uygar olduklarını kabul ederler. Ancak İkinci Dünya Savaşı ve atom bombası bazı bilim insanlarının bu kabulü sorgulamasına neden olur. Bu çalışmada, ergen şiddetindeki artışa tanık olan Burgess’ın Batı uygarlığının geleceğiyle ilgili endişe duyduğu tartışılır. Yakın bir gelecekte İngiltere’de geçen Otomatik Portakal’da, Burgess ergen şiddetindeki artışın devlet şiddetine neden olabileceğini; devletin aldığı bazı önemlerin İkinci Dünya Savaşı’ndan sonra yeni uygarlık standardı olarak kabul edilen insan haklarını ihlal edebileceğini ve devletin şiddet kullanan gençleri yeterince cezalandırmadığını düşünen bazı kişilerin onları linç etmek isteyebileceklerini gösterir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, romanda anlatılan çalkantıların, Burgess için uygarlıktan uzaklaşma sürecinin belirtileri olduğunu tartışmaktır. Yazar, şiddet kullanan gençlerin aslında şefkat ve ilgi arayışında olduklarını, ebeveynlerinin rehberliğine gereksinim duyduklarını, ancak para kazanmakla meşgul olan ebeveynlerin çocuklarına ilgi göstermediklerini sergiler. Çalışmada, Burgess’in romanda okurlarını, devletin totaliterleşebileceği için uygarlıktan uzaklaşma sürecini sona erdiremeyeceği konusunda uyardığı ve ebeveynlere çocuklarına ilgi göstererek bu süreci sonlandırmalarını önerdiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Selected technical aspects of well construction for geothermal energy utilization in Poland
Authors: Tomaszewska Barbara , Sowiżdżał Anna , Chmielowska Anna
Published: September 2018

Geothermal resources have been used in Poland since the 90s of the last century. Since then, several geothermal heating plants, recreation and balneological centers have been operated.

Accessing geothermal resources is possible due to deep boreholes that are either brand-new wells or old but revitalized petroleum and/or exploratory wells. In this case, the construction of production and injection wells is of significant importance. The utilization of deep geothermal energy resources is strongly dependent on the binding domestic law regulations – primarily in case of acquiring the concession enabling an execution of geological and drilling works, and subsequently a proper exploitation.

The paper presents the current state of development of the geothermal energy sector in Poland, indicating examples of exploitation systems based on deep boreholes. Furthermore, the constructions of existing wells are discussed extensively. The existing examples of old but reconstructed wells in Poland, are characterized. The importance of national law and its influence on the development of a geothermal investment is highlighted, as well.
Efficiency Estimation of Commercial Banks Based on Financial Performance: Input Oriented DEA CRS/VRS Models
Authors: Marjanović Ivana , Stanković Jelena J. , Popović Žarko
Published: September 2018

Measurement and evaluation of the bank’s operations efficiency requires analytical techniques that provide data beyond those available from the standard analysis of financial statements. The Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a mathematical programming technique that offers valuable insights in finding inefficient banks taking into account the scope of the services and resources used to provide these banking services. The results of the DEA analysis can provide significant information to the bank’s management that can supplement the information obtained using traditional techniques for assessing efficiency. The assessment of banks’ efficiency in the Republic of Serbia is of particular importance due to intense competition and implemented banking reforms. Therefore, in this paper DEA analysis will be applied for the examination and assessment of the efficiency of the operations of Serbian banks during the period 2014-2016. The analysis will show which of the banks operates efficiently, where the efficiency of the banks is not at a satisfactory level, as well as the potential reasons for inefficiency.
Ties that Bind: The Link between Functions of Public Sector Manager in Tanzania and Luther Gulick’s Notes on The Theory of Organization
Authors: Marijani Ramadhani
Published: September 2018

This paper reflects Gulick’s notes on the theory of organization in the context of Public Sector Manager’s work milieu in Tanzania. Using the Performance Improvement Model (PIM) as the proxy the paper instantiates the POSDCORB by drawing the parallels between the POSDCORB mnemonic and PIM and therefore corroborates Gulick’s summation. We argue that in order to apply the classic theory of organization in today’s public administration an attempt should be made to view organization theory from a design perspective. The paper recommends that more research should be done to instantiate POSDCORB and contributes to the corpus knowledge of public administration discipline.
The perception and attitude of the resident and tourists regarding the local public administration and the tourism phenomenon
Authors: Frînculeasa Mădălina Nicoleta , Chiţescu Răzvan Ion
Published: September 2018

The dynamism of the tourism phenomenon in relation to interconditioning with the local administrative environment, through the generated effects, can constitute an element of favorability of the socio-economic development of community. At the same time, tourism development also generates many problems for host communities. Thus, the policy developed by the local public administration regarding the tourism phenomenon regards the creation and maintenance of a competitive space for the involved actors (residents, tourists, institutions of public and private administration) in order to manage and supply profitable tourist products in a socio-economic context sustainable. Analyzing the perception and attitude of the residents of Moroieni, Dâmbovița, and the tourists present in this area, the paper presents the results of a sociological research which establishes the role and involvement of the local public administration in the tourism phenomenon.
Influence of Entrance Exams Results on Foreign Students in Economics Studies at University of Economics, Prague
Authors: Maryska Milos , Doucek Petr
Published: September 2018

Background and purpose: The purpose of the article is to analyse results of entrance exams and of regularly exams for foreign students in the Czech language undergraduate study programs at four faculties of University of Economics, Prague (UEP) with the intention to investigate the dependency between the results of Entrance exams from English and mathematics and (1) results of regularly exams during the study and between (2) completion rate of the study.

Design/Methodology/Approach: We have analysed 4.381 records for applicants from foreign countries who applied for studies between years 2009 and 2015. We used standard statistics methods and the method of logistic regression in the form of logit model.

Results: We identified weak statistical correlation between entrance exam results from mathematics and results of regular exams. The correlation coefficient varies between 0.078 – 0.283 for investigated faculties of UEP. The same indicator for English language exams presents better values and it varies between 0.218 – 0.312. If an entrance exam result is higher by one point, the probability of successful completion of studies is multiplied by values between 1.017 - 1.042 for individual faculty per one additional point.

Conclusion: The results of the research in mathematics and English language show that excellent results in entrance exam cannot not guarantee successful regularly exams. Conclusion for the probability of completing studies is that the acceptable level of points for admission foreign students is between 150 and 170 points, depending on the faculty.
Performance Indicators of Management Buyouts Using the Analytic Hierarchy Process Method
Authors: Grah Petra , Čančer Vesna , Bratina Borut
Published: September 2018

Background and Purpose: In Slovenia, few management buyout (MBO) studies have been carried out. The focus was mostly on the motives for acquisition of companies and the success rate of the acquisitions. This paper aims to analyse the indicators which suggest an impending bankruptcy or financial restructuring of companies and explore how these indicators are different for successful and unsuccessful MBOs.

Methodology: In the survey, we included 23 selected MBOs in Slovenia between 2005 and 2008, using the following financial and non-financial indicators: profitability, performance, solvency and liquidity, using the analytic hierarchy process method. The key aim of the survey was to use financial and non-financial indicators to study if target companies where bankruptcy or financial restructuring has not yet been initiated prevalently have higher aggregate values compared to those in which bankruptcy or financial restructuring procedures have already begun. Thus, we used the selected indicators to demonstrate one of the possible methods to predict the success of a particular MBO.

Results: We found that in most examples of unsuccessful MBOs, target companies have poorer results in terms of performance, solvency and liquidity, when compared to successful MBOs. Based on the selected areas, we divided the results into four quarters. We found that most target companies where MBOs had been unsuccessful are ranked in a lower quarter than most of the target companies where the MBOs had been successful.

Conclusion: The papers main contribution is the finding that the selected financial and non-financial indicators differ in cases of successful and unsuccessful MBOs. This knowledge helps us to find ways of avoiding these situations in the future.
Analysis of regional heterogeneities of the blood-brain barrier in humans and mice
Authors: Ádám Nyúl-Tóth , Ádám Mészáros , Fanni Győri , Imola Wilhelm , Krizbai István A.
Published: September 2018

Proper functioning of the nervous system is largely dependent on the precise regulation of the neuronal environment. By shielding the central nervous system (CNS) from potentially harmful substances, the blood-brain barrier (BBB) has an indispensable role in this process. The BBB is a specialized system of endothelial cells lining brain microvessels, which – supported by pericytes and glial cells – form a selective barrier between the blood and the neural tissue. Under abnormal conditions, permeability of the BBB may increase, which may either trigger or aggravate the disease. Since CNS disorders – at least in their initial phase – usually do not involve the whole brain and spinal cord, but are localized to a certain region, our aim was to understand whether the BBB is regionally heterogeneous at the molecular level. By using bioinformatics tools, we analyzed expression levels of genes specific to cerebral endothelial cells, pericytes or astrocytes in different brain territories. Our results revealed regional heterogeneities in the expression of BBB-associated genes in both human and mouse. Expression pattern of efflux transporters – which have a major role in blocking passage of therapeutic agents through the BBB – proved to be diverse both among brain regions and between mouse and human. Our results indicate that: (1) in silico database analyses are suitable for group-based studies on gene functions, overcoming the limitations of single-gene analyses; (2) high-throughput tests should always be validated using other methods; (3) when using animal models, inter-species differences have to be always considered; (4) when comparing different brain regions, the BBB is heterogeneous at the molecular level, and this might have clinical significance.

Published: September 2018

This article aims to determine the life cycle of tourist destinations in three lakes: Beratan, Buyan, and Tamblingan or referred to as Tri ning Danu, based on tourism capital. This study was conducted considering the research about the lake-based tourism is still very limited, especially in Indonesia. The analysis was carried out using the model of the Tourist Area Life Cycle (TALC) introduced by Butler and the conception of tourism capital inspired by Bourdieu. The integration of both produces a profile of the position or stage of Tri ning Danu tourist destination development more adequately. This approach is relatively new as a breakthrough effort to get rid of conventional reports on the destination developments that generally rely solely on TALC. It is expected that with the added of tourism capital variable will get a more comprehensive view of destination development stage. The results of the stage of Tri ning Danu tourist destination development based on the tourism capital, as follows: Consolidation Stage for Beratan Lake, Involvement Stage for Buyan Lake, and Exploration Stage for Tamblingan Lake.

Reformatorskie działania w edukacji wczesnoszkolnej uczniów z niepełnosprawnością – „druzgocące fakty dokonane” czy postęp?
Authors: Sadowska Sławomira
Published: September 2018

Reforming actions after the political change in 1989 brought new interpretations of work to the first stage of education and changes in the existing qualifications of teachers working in grades I–III of special schools. The read standards of work from the field of documents from the Ministry of Education stand in opposition to the expanse of positions expressed by scientific circles, while the first ones imprint their explicit stigma on the teacher conceptualizations of work in the first educational stage. The concept of work in classes I–III, developed on the basis of special pedagogy, despite the fact that the reformed school did not question its basic assumptions, is no longer an axis of thought in working with pupils with disabilities.
Sytuacja prawna dzieci w Polsce po 1945 r. Wybrane aspekty z A.S. Makarenką w tle
Authors: Różycka-Jaroś Sylwia
Published: September 2018

The time after 1945 is one of the most important moments in the process of developing children’s rights, because for the first time in the history of Polish legislation the established law had equalized the legal position of all children, abolishing all differences between those who were born in and outside of marriage. The analysis carried out in the text shows that the law established at that time was not only progressive in relation to the past, but it also kept up to date, about which, after the liberal breakthrough of 1989, we do not want to remember. The developed principles of exercising parental authority, with parents’ rights and duties equated, caused the concept of the child welfare to play a leading role in the interpretation of family law. The child welfare has therefore become the basic value that requires priority treatment. It is also important that after 1945 the process of eliminating children’s corporal punishment from the pre-school and school environment, and now also from the family circle, was initiated.

Authors: Pocinho Margarida , Olczak Agnieszka , Franicka Marzanna
Published: September 2018

This study aims to enhance bilingual language acquisition in very young children in a Portuguese kindergarten. The promotion of children’s language and cognition is done through access to another language – English – in their daily context by incorporating the language into the children’s routines and school daily activities. We collected data from an immersion teacher training program towards bilingualism use, the development of their assistants’ English language fluency, the parents’ awareness and beliefs about English and children’s language development. The sample includes 140 children, aged 5 months to 6 years, teachers and teaching assistants. Teachers have changed their language beliefs concerning English and the program has influenced their practice. The results showed that children develop communicative skills in both languages when surrounded by a bilingual friendly and emotional environment. They use both languages in their everyday life and have created a positive and emotional relationship with the English.
New media in the education of children with and without disabilities from the perspective of the knowledge and actions of their parents
Authors: Siemionow Justyna
Published: September 2018

The aim of the text is to draw attention to the need to undertake planned and targeted preventive actions in the family environment as well as to domesticate effectively the so-called new technologies that are already present in our social reality, in the process of the education of pupils, with special attention paid to children with disability degree certificates. The article also presents the results of a study conducted on parents of children aged 7–12. The respondents were divided into two groups, parents of children with special educational needs due to various mental disorders, and parents of those with no such certificate. The two groups of interlocutors differed in terms of the extent to which they perceived Internet threats. A larger picture of this phenomenon emerges from the narrative of adults raising children with disability degree certificates, which points to the need to equalize opportunities and to keep pace with able peers, but creates many difficulties, including the already difficult process of educating children with developmental disorders.
English Learners in K–12 Mathematics Education: A Review of the Literature
Authors: de Araujo Zandra , Roberts Sarah A. , Willey Craig , Zahner William
Published: September 2018

Alongside the increased presence of students classified as English learners (ELs) in mathematics classrooms exists a persistent pattern of the marginalization of ELs. Educators have sought research to identify how to provide ELs with high-quality mathematics education. Over the past two decades, education researchers have responded with increased attention to issues related to the teaching and learning of mathematics with ELs. In this review we analyzed literature published between 2000 and 2015 on mathematics teaching and learning with K–12 ELs. We identified 75 peer-reviewed, empirical studies related to the teaching and learning of mathematics with ELs in Grades K–12 and categorized the studies by focus (Learning, Teaching, and Teacher Education). We synthesize the results of these studies through the lens of a sociocultural perspective on language in mathematics. We then discuss avenues for future research and calls to action based on the extant body of literature.
Development of Interest and Role of Choice During Sequential Knowledge Acquisition
Authors: Fastrich Greta M. , Murayama Kou
Published: September 2018

Interest is an important motivational element for learning in the school environment. However, little research has directly addressed how interest develops over time as knowledge accumulates. To gain a better understanding of interest development, we developed a paradigm where participants gain step-by-step information about lesser known countries. After reading each piece of information, participants rated their interest in and liking of the country. Growth-curve modelling showed that interest grows during knowledge acquisition until it eventually stalls and starts to decline. We also found that the opportunity to choose information boosted the growth in interest and delayed its decline. Further analysis revealed that people disengaged from a topic (i.e. stopped accessing information about a particular country) when their interest started to decrease.

Minas Jaya is one of the villages adjacent to Sultan Syarif Hasyim Forest Park (Tahura SSH). Tahura SSH is one of the conservation areas in Riau Province which is currently in critical condition due to forest encroachment, illegal logging, forest fires and illegal land conversion. In order to restore it requires an approach that combines conservation and community empowerment. One is the concept of Conservation Village. The initial stage in Conservation Village development needs to be a priority class map of conservation. The problems faced by partners to produce such maps require special expertise in spatial planning, mapping, and understanding of conservation village concepts. Based on the mapping identification showing that data of the conservation priority area 1, were identified it consisted of 243.92 hectares, then the conservation priority area 2 consisted of 257.87 hectares. Further, the conservation priority area 3 also identified and consisted of 504.28 hectares, moreover the conservation level 4 conservation area around 1,868.57 hectares, and conservation priorities 5 identified around 1,082.79 hectares. Conservation program directives were linked to each priority of conservation classes. It generally includes a good forest covers protection activities, enrich the land with tree crops. Furthermore, critical land rehabilitation with agroforestry patterns has the choice of species and proportion of annual crops and trees adapted to the degree of land criticality and gradient.

Evidentno, posljednjih stotinu godina došlo je do klimatskih promjena na našem planetu. Brojne promjene kod biljaka i životinja povezuju se sa klimatskim zatopljenjem, što je dokumentirano u velikom broju znanstvenih radova posljednjih dvadesetak godina. U većini slučajeva, glavni pokretač tih promjena je temperatura zraka. Najviše publiciranih članaka u vezi klimatskog zatopljenja i ptica odnosi se na fenologiju. Između ostalog, studije upućuju da je kod brojnih ptičjih vrsta došlo do ranijeg gniježđenja u posljednjih nekoliko desetljeća. Tijekom ovog istraživanja utvrđivan je trend nesidbe na temelju uzorkovanja nesenja prvog jajeta u gnijezdu lokalne populacije ptice stanarice i dupljašice plavetne sjenice (Cyanistes caeruleus) u nizinskim listopadnim šumama (prevladava hrast lužnjak Quercus robur L. i obični grab Carpinus betulus L.) u razdoblju od 1982. do 2016. godine na dijelu sjeverozapadne Hrvatske. Analiziran je i odnos između početka nesidbe i srednje proljetne temperature zraka. Podaci o polaganju jaja uzimani su iz drvenih škrinjica (umjetnih duplji) za gniježđenje ptica. Brojni ornitološki radovi temelje se na korištenju spomenutih umjetnih duplji. Sva uzorkovanja obavio je autor ovog članka. Srednja se proljetna temperature zraka značajno povećala tijekom istraživanja (od 1982. do 2016. godine). Odnos između datuma polaganja jaja i godina istraživanja bio je također statistički signifikantan. Datum početka nesidbe plavetne sjenice uznapredovao je za 11 dana u 35-godišnjem razdoblju. Dobiveni rezultati sugeriraju da je porastom proljetnih temperatura zraka tijekom dugogodišnjeg razdoblja došlo do ranijeg gniježđenja plavetne sjenice u nizinskim listopadnim šumama sjeverozapadne Hrvatske kao posljedica fenotipske plastičnosti. Očito, istraživana šumska populacija plavetne sjenice u stanju je nositi se s porastom proljetne temperature, čemu u prilog nam govori i relativna stabilnost populacije.

Botanički vrt Bečov, osnovan 1918. godine, jedan je od tri botanička vrta u općini Karlovy Vary (Češka). Vrt nije bio održavan u razdoblju od 1945. do 2005. godine. Za istraživanje su odabrana dva dijela izvornoga područja – prijašnji park i obronak s kamenjarom u kojem se nalaze biljke s područja Europe, Azije i Sjeverne Amerike. Izvršena je osnovna dendrološka i dendrometrijska istraživanja.
Ukupno je zabilježena 471 drvenasta biljka, od kojih su 104 četinjače i 367 listače. Determinirano je 30 svojta četinjača iz devet rodova te 55 svojta listača iz 31 roda (Tablica 1). Dendrološko i dendrometrijsko vrednovanje drvenastih biljaka u glavnom dijelu Botaničkog vrta Bečov pokazalo je prosječne dendometrijske parametre te prosječne parametre stanja stabala (Slika 1). Prosječna starost stabala iznosila je 20-40 godina. Ova činjenica ukazuje na 60 godina propadanja prvotno posađenih svoji, kao i na abundantnost razvoja prirodne vegetacije u tom periodu.. Nakon 2005. provedeno je liječenje drvenastih biljaka. Istraživanjem smo utvrdili da su neke zanimljive drvenaste vrste preživjele u ovom području od vremena osnutka vrta, 1908. i 1935., od kojih izdvajamo: amurski barhat (Phellodendron amurense), japansko Judino drvo (Cercidiphyllum japonicum), kivi (Actinidia arguta) te smreke (Picea jezoensis i P. engelmannii).
Trenutno stanje vrta nije konačno, svake godine se u oba istraživana dijela sade nove drvenaste biljke.

The article contains the aggregated results of the development and optimization of laboratory installation for ablative fast pyrolysis performance with productivity 1-4 kg/hour on final products. The experimental data on the series of experiments (>60) with analysis of the influence of certain range of input parameters on the bio-oil yield and qualitative parameters of output products is presented. The optimization of installation regimes and input parameters for bio-oil yield maximization for different biomass types is performed. It was found that the ratio of three output products is not always optimal maximizing bio-oil yield with respect to energy yield in the products. The maximum achieved bio-oil yield is 51% by mass rated to the input products. It is revealed, that the essential parameters which influence on the final bio-oil yield are temperature in the reactor, time of biomass particles existence in the reactor, fraction of biomass particles. The mass distribution for pyrolysis by-products (pyrogas and biochar) is dependent on the initial moisture content of biomass and organization of condensation process of bio-oil. The energy balance of installation demonstrates the average efficiency of the pyrolysis process on the level of 65% (with maximum 98%) and could be increased to 75% average with simple reconstruction of installation. On the basis of obtained laboratory data the scaling of the installation was performed with development of commercial prototype with productivity of 50 kg/hour. On the basis of obtained technical data, the assessment of economic indicators of bio-oil and biochar production with large sized mobile installation has been performed demonstrating the good commercial feasibility of the installation performance.

Objective: To determine the prevalence and risk factors of school violence among Thai high school students usinga Thai version of the International Society for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect (ISPCAN) Child AbuseScreening Tool-Children: Institute Version (ICAST-CI).Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at two high schools in Hat Yai municipality, Songkhla, southern Thailand with 480 students. Univariate logistic regression analysis was used to assess the risk factors associated with school violence.Results: Overall, 88.8% of the students reported experiencing violence at school in their lifetimes. The prevalences of psychological, physical and sexual violence were 84.0%, 66.9% and 30.6%, respectively. The most commonly reported violence patterns among each form of violence were swearing (87.8%), slapping on hand/arm (66.4%), and showing pornography (67.3%), respectively. Students with good school performance tended to report psychological violence [odds ratio (OR)=3.03, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.13-8.07] whereas students aged >15 years were less likely to report physical violence (OR=0.47, 95% CI=0.31-0.71). Sexual violence was reported more among male students (OR=1.71, 95% CI=1.12-2.61) and students aged >15 years regardless of gender (OR=1.58, 95% CI=1.04-2.39). Students were more likely to be reported as a perpetrator than teachers in most patterns of violence.Conclusion: The prevalence of school violence among high school students in Hat Yai municipality, southern Thailand, is significant. and the patterns of violence are similar to other ICAST-CI studies. Violence at school should be recognized as a serious problem, and preventive measures should be implemented nationwide.
