A Randomized Trial Comparing Freely Moving and Zonal Instruction of Veterinary Surgical Skills Using Ovariohysterectomy Models
Authors: Williamson Julie A. , Johnson Jennifer T. , Anderson Stacy , Spangler Dawn , Stonerook Michael , Dascanio John J.
Published: December 2018

Timely, specific feedback is the most important feature of simulation-based training, but providing adequate instructor supervision is challenging. Students’ ( n = 76) surgical skills were assessed after training using either the traditional (T) method of large-group teaching by multiple instructors or the alternative method of one instructor assigned (A) to a defined group of students. Instructors rotated to a different group of students for each laboratory session. The instructor-to-student ratio and environment remained identical. No differences were found in raw assessment scores or the number of students requiring remediation, suggesting that students learned in this environment whether they received feedback from one instructor or multiple. Students had no preference between the methods, though 88% of the instructors preferred the assigned method, because they perceived an increased ability to teach and observe individual students. There was no difference in the number of students identified as at-risk of remediation between groups. When both groups were considered together, students identified as at-risk were more likely (40% vs. 10%) to require post-assessment remediation. However, only 22% of students requiring remediation had been identified as at-risk, and A-group instructors were more accurate than T-group instructors at identifying at-risk students. These results suggest that students accept either instructional method, but most instructors prefer to be assigned to a small group of students. Surgical skills were learned similarly well by students in both groups, although assigned instructors were more accurate at identifying at-risk students, which could prove beneficial if early intervention measures can be offered.
Introduction
Authors: Bennett Tony
Published: December 2018

Michel Foucault argues that truth is not to be emancipated from power.
Given that museums have played a central role in these “regimes of truth,” Foucault’s
work was a reference point for the debates around “the new museology” in the 1980s and
remains so for contemporary debates in the field. In this introduction to a new volume
of selected essays, the use of Foucault’s work in my previous research is considered
in terms of the relations between museums, heritage, anthropology, and government.
In addition, concepts from Pierre Bourdieu, science and technology studies, Actor
Network Theory, assemblage theory, and the post-Foucaultian literature on governmentality
are employed to examine various topics, including the complex situation of
Indigenous people in contemporary Australia.
Houses for the Curious
Authors: Arnold Ken
Published: December 2018

This article considers a curiosity-driven approach to curating focused on
material culture that visitors encounter in physical spaces. Drawing on research into
historical curiosity cabinets, it explores how a contemporary notion of curiosity has
been put into practice in the new breed of culturally enlightened museums exploring
interdisciplinary approaches to medicine, health, life, and art. Based on an inaugural
professorial address at Copenhagen University, it reflects on exhibition projects there
and at the Wellcome Collection in London. Museums are institutional machines that
generate social understanding from material things. Their physical spaces influence how
we learn, think, and feel in public; their material collections feed our comprehension,
imagination, and emotions; and induce attentive behavior in curators and visitors.
Why Looking at Objects Matters
Authors: Bencard Adam
Published: December 2018

Within museum studies, there has been a recent interest in engaging with
objects and their material effects as something other than vehicles for human cultural
meaning. This article contributes to this interest by offering a philosophical argument
for the value of close sensory engagement with physical things, an argument found in
the works of the eighteenth-century German philosopher Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten
(1714–1762), who is famous for fathering the modern philosophical discourse
on aesthetics. Baumgarten outlines what he terms sensate thinking, defined as an analogue
to rational thinking, and insists that this form of thinking can be analyzed and
sharpened according to its own rules. I discuss how Baumgarten’s aesthetics might be
useful for how the curator approaches objects in exhibitions and for understanding how
visitors’ sensory engagement with the objects can be important beyond the deciphering
of historical narratives and conceptual meanings.
Collections without End
Authors: Witcomb Andrea , Patterson Alistair
Published: December 2018

The discovery of five photographs in 2018 in the State Library of Western
Australia led us to the existence of a forgotten private museum housing the collection
of Captain Matthew McVicker Smyth in early-twentieth-century Perth. Captain Smyth
was responsible for the selling of Nobel explosives used in the agriculture and mining
industries. The museum contained mineral specimens in cases alongside extensive,
aesthetically organized displays of Australian Aboriginal artifacts amid a wide variety
of ornaments and decorative paintings. The museum reflects a moment in the history of
colonialism that reminds us today of forms of dispossession, of how Aboriginal people
were categorized in Australia by Western worldviews, and of the ways that collectors
operated. Our re-creation brings back into existence a significant Western Australian
museum and opens up a new discussion about how such private collections came into
existence and indeed, in this instance, about how they eventually end.

War Museums and Agonistic Memory

Within the EU-Horizon-2020-funded project Unsettling Remembering and Social Cohesion in
Transnational Europe (UNREST),1 one work package (WP4) analyzed the memorial regimes of
museums related to the history of World War I and World War II in Europe. An article by Anna
Cento Bull and Hans Lauge Hansen (2016) entitled “Agonistic Memory” provided the theoretical
framework for the analysis. Drawing on Chantal Mouffe’s work (2005, 2013), the authors distinguish
three memorial regimes: antagonistic, cosmopolitan, and agonistic.

Unexpected Encounters: Museums Nurturing Living and Ageing Well

As the world’s population ages, how can museums nurture living and aging well? The conference
Unexpected Encounters: Museums Nurturing Living and Ageing Well, organized by the Research
Centre for Museums and Galleries (RCMG) from the School of Museum Studies, University of
Leicester, set out to interrogate this question, and invited conference delegates to consider how
museums unconsciously make assumptions about older people and perpetuate the dominant
societal view of aging as a “problem.”

Sacrifice/Martyrdom in Lady Lumley’s Iphigenia and Contemporary Palestine
Authors: Hamamra Bilal Tawfiq
Published: December 2018

Lady Lumley’s Iphigenia, a dramatization of sacrifice for a political cause,
echoes the Lumley family’s participation in the politics of the 1550s. The
role of Lady Lumley’s father in the events surrounding Lady Jane Grey’s
death illuminates his daughter’s translation of Euripides, revealing affinities
with Palestinian constructions of gender and female ‘martyrdom’ whereby
women transcend convention while self-silencing their voices of protest. In
both the fictional world of Lumley’s Iphigenia and contemporary Palestine,
marriage and sacrifice are metaphorically associated. Clytemnestra’s
opposition to Agamemnon’s plan to sacrifice Iphigenia and the Chorus’s
complicity with the former enacts a presentist dialogue with contemporary
Palestinian mothers divided in their support of or opposition to their
daughters’ participation in armed resistance. Controversially, in common
Palestinian parlance those dying defending the Palestinian cause (including,
even more controversially, suicide bombers) are termed ‘martyrs’ for a just
cause. Iphigenia’s heroism and Agamemnon’s indecisions therefore bear
contemporary resonances.
The Politics of Sentiment in Tony Harrison’s The School of Eloquence
Authors: Rega Christine
Published: December 2018

Tony Harrison’s filial sonnets, from his major ongoing sonnet sequence
The School of Eloquence (1978–), are widely regarded as among the most
moving poems in the language, and have conversely been criticized for
sentimentality. Blake Morrison observes that the focus upon the sentiment
of the filial sonnets has obscured their political concerns. What has not been
noticed is the sonnets’ politics of sentiment. Harrison’s merging of filial
and political concerns and the way his socialist humanism is refracted in
these intimate sonnets is examined in this article in relation particularly to
the great elegiac sonnet ‘Marked with D’ and ‘Heredity’, the brilliant, little-discussed
verse epigraph to the sonnet sequence. A purpose of this article
is to show the extent to which the filial sonnets merge empathy and politics
and express powerful personal and political feeling in their own terms.
A Heideggerian Reading of Jack’s Homelessness in Marilynne Robinson’s Home
Authors: Bessedik Fatima Zahra
Published: December 2018

In Marilynne Robinson’s Home, though Jack revisits his childhood place, he
is unable to find a sense of being at home. Using Martin Heidegger’s theory
of ‘being’ and ‘dwelling’, this article analyses the notion of ‘homelessness’,
as reflected in Jack. While this article projects the significance of physical
dwelling through the notion of ‘homecoming’, it highlights the vital
importance of psychological dwelling in achieving the meaning of home.
The article uses Martin Heidegger’s conception of homelessness as a key
theory to maintain that Jack’s homelessness is a result of his incoherent
being with the space he came to revisit. It also uses theories of psychology
and space as sub-theories to enrich the discussion.

Suvremeni trendovi obrade tla na vodoopskrbnim područjima
Authors: Stajnko Denis
Published: December 2018

Vodoopskrbna područja (VOP) predstavljaju zaštitu izvora pitke vode (uključujući vodu iz jezera, rijeka i podzemnih vodonosnika) od prekomjerne uporabe i onečišćenja. U većini europskih zemalja VOP se sastoji od četiri osjetljiva područja; zona bunara (VOP0), zona crpljenja vode (VOPI), značajna površina za punjenje podzemnih voda (VOPII) i vrlo ranjivo područje (VOPIII). Budući da je VOP obično sastavni dio poljoprivrednog krajolika, poljoprivredna praksa može izravno utjecati na kvalitetu vode te se zbog toga vodoopskrbnim područjima obično regulira/ograničava način konvencionalne poljoprivrede, posebice obrade tla, gnojidbe i upotrebu pesticida. Iz tog razloga, u mnogim VOPI i VOPII zonama konzervacijska obrada (CT) predstavlja jedini način pripreme tla za sjetvu. U ovom radu prikazani su CT sustavi, koji uzrokuju minimalni mehanički poremećaj tla odnosno direktnu sjetvu, pokrivenost tla malčem i raznolikost ratarskih kultura. CT je globalno prihvaćena poljoprivredna praksa kojom se obrađuje oko 11% poljoprivrednog zemljišta na svim kontinentima.
Assortative Mating for Psychopathy Components and its Effects on the Relationship Quality in Intimate Partners
Authors: Kardum Igor , Hudek-Knezevic Jasna , Gračanin Asmir , Mehic Nermina
Published: December 2018

In three studies, we examined assortative mating for psychopathy components as well as its effects on the relationship quality in intimate partners. Compared to the original structure we confirmed three
factors of psychopathy: criminal tendencies (CT), erratic lifestyle (ELS) and interpersonal manipulation (IM), while callous affect (CA) was
not replicated. Hypotheses regarding positive versus negative assortment, initial assortment versus convergence, and active assortment
versus social homogamy were tested. All hypotheses were examined using both variable-centered approach (VCA) and couple-centered approach (CCA). We found moderate positive assortment between intimate partners in psychopathy as a latent construct estimated by structural modelling. Furthermore, positive assortment for all three components of psychopathy
was found either by using only VCA (CT), only CCA (IM) or both approaches (ELS). Additionally, initial assortment rather than convergence hypothesis and active assortment rather than social homogamy
hypothesis was confirmed for all three psychopathy components, with a slight tendency towards divergence and social homogamy. We explored the effects of similarity in psychopathy components on the women and men' relationship quality by using profile similarity and polynomial regression analyses. Profile similarity in IM was significantly positively related to women's relationship quality, while the results of
the polynomial regression analyses were more complex, and showed that only (dis)similarity in CT did not exert any effect on women and men's relationship quality. Greater disagreement between women and men's ELS was related with more sharp decrease of women's relationship quality, while men's relationship quality decreased at the higher levels of women
and men's ELS. Greater disagreement between women and men's IM results in a lower women's relationship quality, while women and men's relationship quality was higher when women's IM was higher than men's.
The General Factor of Personality
Authors: Musek Janek
Published: December 2018

According to the empirical and theoretical research in past ten years, the General Factor of Personality (GFP) was interpreted as the highest-order (most general) personality dimension, which occupies the apex of the structural hierarchy of personality traits. Thus, the GFP is the central concept in the new structural paradigm of personality (the Pyramidal Model of Personality). In the majority of the studies, the GFP was conceptualized as a general factor with substantial psychological (cognitive and behavioural) content reflecting the general social and personal adjustment or effectiveness. The alternative explanations of the GFP emphasize the role of the semantic factors, response styles and other biases. This study reviews the main results of the GFP research including the nature, the biological bases, the strength and cultural universality of GFP, its relations to intelligence and other prominent psychological variables, and its predictive power and practical importance.
Emocionalna inteligencija i agresivno ponašanje u djetinjstvu i adolescenciji – Pregled istraživanja
Authors: Babić Čikeš Ana
Published: December 2018

Svrha je ovog rada dati pregled istraživanja razvoja emocionalne inteligencije (EI) i agresivnosti u djetinjstvu i adolescenciji, kao i studija koje su se bavile odnosom ovih dvaju konstrukata u toj dobi. Već sam pregled podataka o razvoju upućuje na moguće poveznice u razvojnim putanjama emocionalnih sposobnosti i agresivnosti. No istraživanja povezanosti varijabli emocionalnog doživljavanja i procesiranja emocija s različitim aspektima agresivnosti prilično su rijetka. Većina rezultata postojećih istraživanja upućuje na povezanost između ovih dvaju konstrukata, ali problem u donošenju jasnih zaključaka velike su razlike u konceptualizacijama, primijenjenim mjerama, uzorcima i metodama. U budućim je istraživanjima važno usmjeriti se na ispitivanje specifičnih veza između svake razine EI, užih sposobnosti koje pripadaju pojedinim razinama i različitih oblika agresivnosti. Osim toga, važno je ispitati mogućnosti utjecaja na svaku od specifičnih sposobnosti s obzirom na njihove razvojne putanje i važnost za agresivno ponašanje u pojedinoj točki razvoja. Položaj varijabli EI unutar konstelacije mnogih drugih korelata agresivnog ponašanja u različitim razvojnim razdobljima također je bitan problem potencijalnih istraživanja. Primjena bi rezultata takvih istraživanja u kreiranju programa prevencije agresivnog ponašanja povećala njihovu efikasnost, ali i omogućila valjaniju procjenu učinka primijenjenih tretmana.
Emocionalna iskustva učitelja kao prediktori njihova mentalnoga zdravlja
Authors: Macuka Ivana , Burić Irena , Slišković Ana
Published: December 2018

Učiteljska je profesija emocionalno zahtjevna profesija te učitelji navode kako u svom poslu doživljavaju različite ugodne i neugodne emocije značajnoga intenziteta. Različite emocije koje učitelji doživljavaju u odnosu s profesionalnim aktivnostima mogu utjecati na njihov profesionalni, ali i osobni razvoj. Učestalo se doživljavanje negativnih emocija u svakodnevnom radu u odnosu s učenicima, roditeljima, kolegama i nadređenima, uz doživljaj emocionalne iscrpljenosti (kao važnog aspekta sagorijevanja na poslu) može nepovoljno odraziti na psihološku dobrobit učitelja te povećati zastupljenost i psihopatoloških simptoma.
U ovom je istraživanju ispitana uloga različitih emocija koje učitelji mogu doživjeti u odnosu s učenicima u razredu, roditeljima i obrazovnim sustavom, kao i doživljaj emocionalne iscrpljenosti u objašnjenju zastupljenosti anksioznih, depresivnih i somatizacijskih simptoma kod učitelja. Istraživanje je provedeno na uzorku od 1149 osnovnoškolskih učitelja predmetne nastave iz različitih hrvatskih regija. Ukupno je sudjelovalo 210 učitelja i 939 učiteljica u dobi između 24 i 65 godina. S obzirom su na rodne razlike u zastupljenosti pojedinih psihopatoloških simptoma provedene zasebne analize na poduzorcima učitelja i učiteljica. Provedbom je hijerarhijskih regresijskih analiza utvrđeno da, uz kontrolu duljine radnog staža (koja značajno doprinosi objašnjenju simptoma somatizacije kod učiteljica), određene emocije (zasićenost, ljubav, ljutnja i beznađe doživljene u odnosu s učenicima; anksioznost doživljena u odnosu s roditeljima, te doživljaj razočaranosti u obrazovni sustav), kao i doživljaj emocionalne iscrpljenosti ostvaruju značajne samostalne doprinose objašnjenju anksioznih, depresivnih i somatizacijskih simptoma učitelja. Dobiveni rezultati upućuju na to da objašnjenju psihopatoloških simptoma učitelja i učiteljica u najvećoj mjeri pridonosi doživljaj emocionalne iscrpljenosti kao posljedica svakodnevnog pritiska na poslu.
Inteligencija, crte ličnosti i profesionalni interesi kao prediktori školskog postignuća
Authors: Krapić Nada , Kuljanić Patricija
Published: December 2018

Cilj je provedenog istraživanja bio ispitati u kojoj mjeri inteligencija, crte ličnosti i profesionalni interesi pridonose objašnjenju varijance općega školskog postignuća učenika višeg razreda osnovne škole te postignuća u specifičnim skupinama predmeta (jezično-komunikacijskoj, prirodoslovnoj, društveno-humanističkoj, tehničkoj i umjetničkoj skupini). Pored toga, ispitana je i inkrementalna valjanost crta ličnosti i profesionalnih interesa povrh efekata sposobnosti. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 263 učenika školskog uzrasta, polaznika osmih razreda jedne riječke osnovne škole, od kojih je 128 ženskog, a 135 muškog spola. Kako bi se ispitala prediktivna snaga inteligencije, crta ličnosti i profesionalnih interesa za predviđanje općega školskog postignuća učenika i postignuća u specifičnim skupinama predmeta kao kriterijskim varijablama, proveden je niz hijerarhijskih regresijskih analiza u kojima je inteligencija uključena u prvom, crte ličnosti u drugom, a profesionalni interesi u trećem koraku. Dobiveni rezultati pokazuju da su verbalne i numeričke sposobnosti, istraživački interesi i savjesnost najvažniji prediktori općega školskog postignuća kao i postignuća u većini specifičnih skupina predmeta pri čemu se količina objašnjene varijance kreće između 9% i 35%. Pored toga, pokazalo se da crte ličnosti povrh inteligencije, a profesionalni interesi povrh inteligencije i crta značajno dodatno objašnjavaju varijancu svih kriterijskih varijabli osim uspješnosti u tehničkoj skupini predmeta. Pri tome dimenzije ličnosti i interesi objašnjavaju zajedno u prosjeku još oko 11% varijance kriterija (ličnost 5%; profesionalni interesi 6%). Dobiveni rezultati upućuju na važnost ispitivanih varijabli u razumijevanju i predviđanju osnovnoškolskog postignuća.
Efekti socijalnoga konteksta na povezanost uporabe medija s nekim aspektima razvoja djece
Authors: Velki Tena , Duvnjak Ivana
Published: December 2018

Cilj je istraživanja provjeriti povezanost učestalosti uporabe različitih medija (gledanje televizije, igranje računalnih igrica i korištenje interneta) s aspektima kognitivnog (školski uspjeh) i socijalno-emocionalnog razvoja (impulzivnost, afektivna empatija, broj prijatelja i vršnjačka prihvaćenost). Također, htjeli su se provjeriti moderatorski efekti roditeljskog prisustva i društva prijatelja na navedene povezanosti. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 880 učenika od petog do osmog razreda. Podaci o impulzivnosti, afektivnoj empatiji i izloženosti medijima prikupljeni su samoprocjenama. Učenici su dali još podatke o broju najboljih prijatelja, osjećaju prihvaćenosti i školskom uspjehu.
Povezanosti učestalosti korištenja različitih medija i aspekata kognitivnog i socijalno-emocionalnog razvoja uglavnom su niske. Najistaknutije su negativne povezanosti s afektivnom empatijom, i to osobito vrijeme provedeno igrajući igrice, te pozitivna povezanost s impulzivnošću, posebice s korištenjem interneta. Nešto je manja povezanost učestalosti korištenja medija s brojem prijatelja i vršnjačkom prihvaćenosti, dok je učestalost gledanja televizije blago negativno povezana sa školskim uspjehom.
Testirani su i moderacijski efekti socijalnog konteksta na povezanosti učestalosti korištenja medija i aspekata razvoja. Dobiveni su efekti vrlo mali i uglavnom vezani za odnos gledanja televizije i školskog uspjeha te učestalosti igranja računalnih igrica i odnosa s vršnjacima. Dobivena je negativna povezanost vremena gledanja televizije i školskog uspjeha samo kod onih koji to čine u društvu (roditelja i prijatelja), dok kod onih koji gledaju sami nije značajno različita od nule. Isto tako, pozitivan odnos vremena provedenog igrajući videoigrice i broja prijatelja nešto je manji kod onih koji to čine u društvu prijatelja te su blago pozitivni efekti učestalosti igranja igrica na vršnjačku prihvaćenost kod onih koji igraju sami, dok su blago negativni kod onih koji igraju u društvu roditelja. Svi efekti socijalnog konteksta i korištenja medija na aspekte razvoja djece vrlo su slabog intenziteta, a interpretirani su okviru Modela različite podložnosti utjecaju medija (DSMM; Valkenburg i Peter, 2013).
Analysis of Superposters' Motives for Participating in Online Forum Discussions

Published: December 2018

The main aim of this study was to identify factors which motivate daily participation of extremely active online forum members. An extensive online questionnaire was constructed and sent to the Forum.hr members with more than 8,000 posts. The final sample consisted of 112 respondents. Principal components analysis provided an interpretable three components solution, explaining 54.6% of the item variance. The components were labelled as self-esteem, information exchange, and confrontation. Some significant differences were also found among motivational subscales and variables of gender, age, and the intensity of forum activity. Results are discussed in relation to previous research.
Can HEXACO-PI-R Adequately Represent the Four-Factor Model of Psychopathy?
Authors: Međedović Janko
Published: December 2018

Recently there have been attempts to measure psychopathy via existing personality inventories. The aim of the present research was to explore whether six-factors personality structure (measured by HEXACO-PI-R) can be used for the assessment of the psychopathy model consisted of four traits: interpersonal, affective, lifestyle and antisocial (measured by SRP-4). In Study 1 (402 community participants), the proxy measures of these traits were generated using the HEXACO-PI-R items. It showed that all the psychopathy traits except antisocial tendencies are adequately explained by HEXACO traits: all of the R²s were >.50. Proxy measures had satisfactory reliabilities (all Alphas >.70) and adequate correlations with the original psychopathy scales. In Study 2 (345 undergraduate students) and Study 3 (245 male convicts), the discriminative and external validity of the proxy measures is further demonstrated. The results of the present research showed that HEXACO-PI-R can be used to explore interpersonal, affective and lifestyle features of psychopathy, which can facilitate further research. However, the usage of the inventories which measure psychopathy directly is still preferable when possible.
Uloga depresivnosti roditelja i roditeljske samoefikasnosti u povezanosti ekonomske prilagodbe i depresivnosti adolescenata
Authors: Anđelinović Maja , Vrselja Ivana , Merkaš Marina
Published: December 2018

Polazeći od teorijskih postavki modela obiteljskog stresa cilj je rada bio empirijski provjeriti ostvaruje li ekonomska prilagodba obitelji svoj učinak na izraženost depresivnost kod adolescenata izravno i/ili neizravno, učincima na depresivnost roditelja i osjećaj roditeljske samoefikasnosti. U radu su analizirani podatci prikupljeni od adolescenata (N=247) koji žive u dvoroditeljskim obiteljima te obaju njihovih roditelja, a u okviru projekta "Rad roditelja, ekonomske teškoće obitelji i dobrobit roditelja i djece". Djeca su procijenila svoju depresivnost, a roditelji svoju depresivnost i roditeljsku samoefikasnost te ekonomsku prilagodbu obitelji. Kako bi se provjerilo postojanje izravnog i neizravnog učinka otežane ekonomske prilagode obitelji na izraženost depresivnosti kod adolescenata, provedene su dvije serijalne medijacijske analize (jedna na uzorku očeva i jedna na uzorku majki) u PROCESS makrou za SPPS. Rezultati tih analiza pokazali su kako otežana ekonomska prilagodba obitelji izravno i neizravno, samo preko izražene depresivnosti majke i smanjenog osjećaja roditeljske samoefikasnosti majke, pridonosi izraženijoj depresivnosti kod adolescenata. Neizravan serijalni učinak ekonomske prilagode obitelji na depresivnost adolescenata, putem depresivnosti i roditeljske samoefikasnosti oca, nije se pokazao značajnim. Nalazi rada upućuju na različite procese kojima ekonomska prilagodba obitelji djeluje na ponašanje i doživljavanje roditelja i adolescenata.

Cilj je provedenog istraživanja bio ispitati faktorsku strukturu Petofacetnog upitnika usredotočene svjesnosti (FFMQ, Baer i sur., 2006) na hrvatskom uzorku i utvrditi odnose usredotočene svjesnosti s relevantnim kriterijima. Uz ispitivanje originalne i alternativnih faktorskih struktura FFMQ-a ispitana je i njegova povezanost s iskustvom u meditaciji, neki aspekti konvergentno-divergentne valjanosti (povezanost s crtama ličnosti petofaktorskog modela) te prediktivna i inkrementalna valjanost u objašnjenju emocionalnog reagiranja na jednostavne podražaje. Ukupno 242 ispitanika iz populacije studenata i opće populacije od 18 do 68 godina popunilo je FFMQ, Petofaktorski inventar ličnosti (BFI, Benet-Martinez i John, 1998) i mjeru emocionalnog reagiranja operacionaliziranog kao evaluacija prezentiranih riječi na dimenzijama valencije i uzbuđenja, odnosno intenziteta afektivnog odgovora. Rezultati su pokazali da (1) iako sve facete FFMQ-a imaju primjerenu pouzdanost, najprikladnije faktorsko rješenje predstavlja četverofaktorski hijerarhijski model s jednim faktorom višeg reda, u kojem je izostavljen faktor opažanja, a moguće je koristiti i svih pet faktora, ali u tom slučaju bez podrazumijevanja faktora višeg reda; (2) uz kontrolu svih relevantnih varijabli postoje značajne razlike između praktikanata i nepraktikanata meditacije na svim facetama FFMQ-a osim facete opisivanja, kao i na ukupnom rezultatu FFMQ-a; (3) dobivene su niske do umjerene očekivane povezanosti faceta FFMQ-a s dimenzijama petofaktorskog modela; (4) povezanosti faceta FFMQ-a i emocionalnog reagiranja niske su, očekivano snažnije za negativne u odnosu na pozitivne podražaje i smjer im varira ovisno o vrsti facete i vrsti podražaja, pri čemu (5) faceta neprosuđivanja ima inkrementalnu valjanost povrh dimenzija petofaktorskog modela ličnosti jedino u predikciji percepcije intenziteta negativnih podražaja. Raspravljena su moguća objašnjenja i implikacije dobivenih rezultata.

The Deceitfulness of Sticky Costs on Banking Systems
Authors: Vela-Beltrán-del-Río César , Llanos Reynoso Luis Felipe
Published: December 2018

Understanding the true, sometimes deceitful, nature of sticky costs is vital to take advantage of market opportunities and to compete; by aligning the needed substructure to the medium and long term business expectations. Doing so will allow management to be better positioned to achieve such goals. This long-term research (16 years), performed in Mexico, offers a holistic understanding of the real sticky costs behavior in both bullish and bearish markets. The stickiness nature of costs is an unintended manifestation of the embedded conditions of the assets  cquired, while pursuing longer term objectives. This is the case because it is through assets, in general, that businesses compete. We will document that costs behave differently in bearish and bullish markets; costs, under general market conditions, perform at different rates in each market. We introduced a dummy regression variable to determine if the increase in administrative spending is positively related to an income increase, considering years with income increases and decreases. We also found that costs will continue rising, at a lower rate, even in bearish markets, unless there is a global crisis. Those who not understand the actual sticky nature of costs will face their deceitful nature, especially during bearish markets.

Published: December 2018

The Internet of Things (IoT) contains smart devices placed in different environments, connected with each other across networks and Internet. The integration between Things and Cloud Computing (CC) for monitoring and permanent storage is required for future IoT applications. Therefore, this paper proposes IoT architecture based Cloud for healthcare network when patients are remotely monitored by their family and physicians. This proposed architecture is different from the traditional IoT architecture that consists of Things, getaways, middleware, and application layers which in turn need connectivity insurance between them. The proposed architecture is designed and configured using Cisco Packet Tracer version 7.0 over two sites: Site 'A' located at smart home and site 'B' located at the smart hospital. The results show that the IoT based Cloud enhances the patient life style by using smart sensors and mobile application, as well as the physicians can remotely monitor the data in real time.

Published: December 2018

Many steel-works discharge the sediments from BOF gas cleaning systems sludge pans into the waste accumulators without dewatering, therefore implementation of facilities of their treatment is an extraordinarily actual task. Besides the BOF gas cleaning systems sewage sediments are attributed to a substance rich or relatively rich by iron, which can be utilized in metallurgical production after dewatering. Application of synthetic organic flocculants for sediments conditioning is one of most effective methods of dewatering equipment operation intensification. Results of experiment tests on the treatment of real BOF gas cleaning systems sewage sediment by a high-molecular organic flocculants namely Servey FL9, Nalco 71661 and Nalco 8172 PULV. It was shown, that Nalco 8172 PULV is most effective reagent for the sediment conditioning. The effective doze of high-molecular anion flocculant for treatment of BOF gas cleaning systems sewage sediment before the gravitational thickening and further mechanical dewatering is 0.15 g of active substance per1 kg of dry sediment substance. Technological parameters of dewatering equipment determined when using high-molecular anion flocculant for intensification of the treatment process of BOF gas cleaning systems sewage sediment: the specific load for thickeners by dry sediment substance is 300–400 kg/(h·m2), the specific load for disc vacuum-filter by dry sediment substance is 60–70 kg/(h·m2). Content of suspended particles in bright water from thickeners and filtrate from vacuum-filter is less than 100 mg/dm3.
