Depositional and erosional landforms in the Lothar Khola watershed, Central Nepal
Authors: Dangol V. , Ulak P. D.
Published: April 2021

The high intensity rainfall of 19 and 20 July 1993 triggered off a large number of mass movements in the Lothar Khola watershed of Central Nepal. Most of the slides were reactivated on highly fractured and weathered rocks during the downpour. Among more than 40 landslides encountered in the watershed, the large rockslides were found at Purbangkhani, Karse, and Loling. A detailed study of landslide distribution in the watershed revealed that mos t of the landslides (about 65 % of the total landslide area) occurred on slopes ranging from 26 to 40°. These slopes were nearly equal to or a little steeper than the internal friction angle of constituting soil or rock mass. According to land use pattern, more than two thirds of the landslide area fell in the forestland and there were no landslides on the grassland. Similarly, rockslides were concentrated (about 53% of the total rockslide area) on slopes covered by slates and phyllites. On the other hand, an overwhelming majority of soil slides (more than 85% of the total soil slide area) occurred on residual soils. Debris flows were also very common in the Lothar Khola watershed. During the debris flow, from 1 to 3 m deepening of the riverbed was observed in many erosional zones whereas the sediment accumulation reached up to 4 m in the depositional zones.

Published: April 2021

Among several data processing and interpretation techniques available in seismic refraction, the Generalised Reciprocal Method (GRM) is now widely used. In the thick landslide zone of Xiakou, Sichuan, China, the depths to bedrock obtained from the conventional refraction interpretation by the Plus-Minus Method (Method t0) differed considerably from the results of electrical soundings and drilling. The conventional methods were not able to accommodate to the more likely geological situations (i.e. undetected layers and velocity inversion) in a thick landslide zone. Thicker the overburden more the variation occurred between the results of the GRM and conventional methods. The velocity of seismic waves in the refractor calculated by the Plus-Minus Method was also affected significantly from the bedrock topography. After applying the GRM, the calculated depths were found to be very near to those of the drilling and electrical sounding. The GRM also revealed that the changes in refractor velocity (recorded by conventional methods) were fictitious. The fictitious changes in refractor velocity were caused by the target refractor topography and surface topography.

In this paper two profiles are taken for discussion. The profile B-B' represents a case of thick overburden (more than 30 m) whereas the profile D-D' is taken from a thin overburden (less than 15 m) above the target refractor.

Comprehensive description of the collection material of vegetable common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) by its origin and economically valuable characters is presented for the suitability of harvesting for the production line in conditions of the Almaty region. The vegetation period of selected bean varieties are studied, which enable the annual production of conditioned seeds of the field. Early ripe and mid-season forms of vegetable beans studied suitable for cultivation in the Almaty region are identified. It has been shown that the duration of the growing season of the material of vegetable beans under investigation has varied within 71–85 days. The most productive bean varieties for the conditions of the Almaty region have been indicated. Correlation ties between the yield and the components of productivity for the mass of green vegetable pods have been established. According to the structural analysis of the collection by productivity in the studied zone, the most promising and adapted varieties and lines in the early-ripe cluster are Laura and Luna varieties, which yield has exceeded the productivity of the reference variety by 22–37 %. At the same time, the mid-season cluster has revealed the Casablanca (Poland) variety, which has revealed 26 % higher productivity comparing to the yield of the same reference standard. The resistance of the selected vegetable bean representatives of the collection to anthracnose has been studied by using molecular genetically marking of genotypes.

Published: April 2021

The article presents the results of the research of etiological structure of urinary tract infection among children. Out of the total number of urological and nephrological sick children`s research, it is defined that 283 microorganisms selected from the urine were found. 63.2 % of the total number of children in nephrological department is related to only urological diseases. In recent, there has been an open trend to increase a frequency of diseases of the urinary system. Over the past five years, the number of diseases of the genitourinary system in urban children in Kazakhstan has increased to 65 %.The review shows that inflammatory diseases of kidneys and urinary tract take the second place after acute respiratory diseases of upper breathing tract. In this work, it is established that a causative agent of urinary system infection among children is pathogenic, as well as relative-pathogenic microorganisms. As it is shown, the leading etiological agent of uroinfection is Staphylococcus epidermidis (13.9 %), Escherichia coli (12.2 %), Enterobacter cloacae (7.8 %). In some cases, streptococcus are excreted. Also, there were dominant pathogens of nephroinfection among children such as Escherichia coli (21.1 %), Enterococcus faecalis (9.6 %), Staphylococcus epidermidis (20.1 %). Some types of Candidafungi in the formation of the urinary tract and kidney infection (mostly C.albicans (9.5 %), C.kruseae (8.1 %), C.glabrata (5.6 %) pathogens) are observed in the study of urine in children. During the general research, it was found that the etiological agents of urinary system among children consist of a huge microbiological spectrum, especially among children living in urban areas.

Published: April 2021

This article presents data on the studies on antibacterial activity of ultrasonic extracts of Salvia stepposa (steppe sage) growing wild on the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Screening for the antibacterial activity of the presented samples was carried out by the discdiffusion method against strains of gram-positive bacteria Staphylococus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, gram-negative strains Escherichia coliand the yeast Candida albicans. The results showed that in relation to Staphylococus aureusthe most pronounced antibacterial activity with growth inhibition zones 35 ± 1 mm is possessed by 30 % ultrasonic extract of steppe sage flowers, in relation to Bacillus subtilis49 ± 1 mm — 40 % ultrasonic extract of steppe sage leaves, for Escherichia coli24 ± 1 mm — 70 % ultrasonic extract of steppe sage leaves. This study demonstrated that, 30 % ultrasonic extract of flowers and 90 % ultrasonic extract of flowers and leaves of steppe sage showed weak activity against yeast fungus Candida albicanswith growth inhibition zones 12 ± 1 mm, 12 ± 1 mm and 11 mm, respectively. As a result, out of 8 extracts isolated by ultrasonic activation only 2 extracts showed antibacteri-al activity against 4 studied bacteria. Additionally, it was found that the use of ultrasonic extraction can re-duce the extraction time of biologically active substances in 8–9 times compared to conventional extraction methods.

Published: April 2021

This article is devoted to the study of the influence of cryopreservation on the preservation of sowing qualities of seeds of representatives of the genus Picea: P. asperata(Rough spruce) and P. pungens (Spiny spruce). As an alternative shock method of cryopreservation, the method of step-by-step 3-step temperature reduction was used 1 stage +4 °C, 2 stage –18 °C, 3 stage –196 °C liquid nitrogen. Additionally, the effect of 4 time intervals (1 hour, 24 hours, 72 hours and 168 hours) of step freezing on seed quality was investigated. To explain the results by photometry, the total carbohydrate content of the seeds is determined before the 3rd freezing step (cryo interaction). The analysis of the results of germination showed that the seeds of the stud-ied species respond in different directions to the step cryo freezing. So, seeds of P. asperata germination in all tree experimental variants are higher on 4–32 % than in the control variant; and the maximum results are revealed in the variant with time intervals of 168 hours. For P. pungensseeds, the germination rates in experimental variants were on 18–22 % lower than in the control; and the largest germination rate of seeds among experimental variations are revealed in variant with interval 24 hours. The determination of the total carbohy-drate content of the tested seeds at different cryogenic freezing intervals found that this indicator varied significantly depending on the time interval. The lowest values of total carbohydrates are found in variation with a time interval — 24 hours. The maximum total carbohydrate content is determined in a variation with a time interval — 1 hour. Correlation analysis between seed germination indices and total carbohydrate content established a high relationship between these indices. So, for P. asperata, the value of the Pearson coefficient was 0.86, and for P. pungensseeds — 0.91.

Medicinal plants are important sources of biologically active substances and phytopreparations for the prevention and treatment of diseases. In Kazakhstan, the regions of the Western Kazakhstan remain poorly studied in relation to wild medicinal plants. The purpose of the present study was to analyze the species composition of medicinal plants of the flora of the Atyrau region and their ranking by life forms, ecological groups, the degree of distribution and possibilityof application in medical practice. Based on the analysis of literary sources and the results of own field studies in the Atyrau region, 177 species of medicinal plants belonging to 118 genera and 46 families are identified. The largest number of species of medicinal plants is noted in Asteraceae, Lamiaceae, Brassicaceae, Rosaceae, Chenopodiaceae, Fabaceaeand Polygonaceae families. According to the degree of distribution, 4 groups of plants are identified: i) widespread plants, but growing sporadically, not forming thickets (128 species); ii) rare and endangered plants, not to be harvested for raw materials (11 species); iii) plants, forming small thickets(23 taxa); iv) plants, forming significant thickets suitable for industrial harvesting (15 taxa). Among the medicinal plants of the Atyrau region, 6 ecological groups were identified in relation to humidification conditions: hydrophytes, hygrophytes, mesophytes, mesoxerophytes, xerosesophytes and xerophytes. 8 groups of life forms are defined. The largest number of species is concentrated in the group of perennial herbaceous plants — 105 taxa. 128 taxa are allocated for use in folk medicine, 49 species — in official medicine. 12 pharmaceutical-therapeutic groups of plants for treatment of diseases of various etiologies are identified.

Published: April 2021

Serotonin as a neurotransmitter (5-HT) plays a crucial role in the cardiovascular system. Serotonin is a humoral system of regulators and modulators of physiological processes. Under pathological conditions, these processes can turn into factors contributing to the development of diseases such as atherosclerosis, arterial hypertension, and pulmonary hypertension. The 5-HT4 and 5-HT2B receptors are found in cardiomyocytes. During the embryonic period, serotonin acts as a growth factor and plays an important regulatory role in the crucial period of embryonic development, in particular, a heart of an embryo. Therefore, any interference with this system in the womb can disrupt the normal development of the cardiovascular system. In the given study, there is some data provided to indicate that a change in the serotonin concentration created by the sero-tonin synthesis and the membrane serotonin transporter blocked in the embryonic period of ontogenesis, af-fects the inotropic function of the right ventricular myocardium in early postnatal ontogenesis, which is caused by a change in the contraction time in the groups under the experiment. Thus, statistically the response of cardiomyocytes to serotonin is significantly higher in the group with an excess of serotonin and signifi-cantly lower in the group with a deficiency of serotonin compared to the control group.
Une nouvelle légende fiscale : la TVA de Maurice Lauré
Authors: Falco Damien
Published: April 2021

Si Maurice Lauré a toujours été présenté comme l’inventeur de la taxe sur la valeur ajoutée, l’étude historique de cet impôt apporte de nombreux doutes sur une telle affirmation. En effet, il s’avère que le rôle de Lauré concernant les caractéristiques de la TVA est limité à la seule extension du droit à déduction, idée directement inspirée des travaux du Professeur Shoup. Le réel apport de l’auteur réside finalement dans la promotion de cet impôt afin de convaincre les organisations et les décideurs de l’époque de la nécessité de son adoption en 1954.
Le mythe de l’unicité de l’impôt
Authors: Christophe de la Mardière
Published: April 2021

L’impôt unique, ou très dominant, correspond à un rêve, celui de l’impôt idéal. Il serait simple, juste et productif, peu onéreux à recouvrer, respectueux de la vie privée. En réalité, l’impôt unique devrait retenir un tarif si exorbitant qu’il ne pourrait se montrer fructueux. Surtout, pour épargner certains contribuables ou certaines richesses, il serait très injuste. Il s’exposerait particulièrement à la fraude, à l’épuisement ou à la fuite de la matière imposable.
Le mythe de la summa divisio impôt directs/impôts indirects : le moteur à mouvement perpétuel du débat fiscal
Authors: Bin Fabrice
Published: April 2021

Le discours fiscal est structuré autour de deux types d’impôts : les impôts directs et les impôts indirects. Il s’agit très largement d’un mythe. Aucun fondement de cette distinction n’est solide mais ce mythe perdure car il permet de simplifier et de structurer les idées sur l’impôt et ainsi d’organiser le débat sur la politique fiscale. Ce mythe est au service d’un mythe plus puissant : celui de la justice fiscale.
Les lois de programmation ou l’avenir mythique des finances publiques

Published: April 2021

La programmation financière entretient le mythe prométhéen de maîtrise de l’avenir. Or l’histoire montre que les lois de programmation, qu’elles concernent des politiques sectorielles ou l’ensemble des finances publiques, se soldent le plus souvent par de cruelles désillusions. Cela tient notamment au fait qu’elles visent moins à définir le futur financier qu’à gérer un présent politique tendu.
Un mythe visant à affirmer la démocratie financière locale : la délibération financière municipale
Authors: Desmoulin Gil
Published: April 2021

Les délibérations sur lesquelles se prononce le Conseil municipal constituent le socle de la démocratie locale en particulier lorsque les décisions prises par l’assemblée délibérante sont relatives aux finances. Or, il importe de dépasser ce postulat de départ car une analyse plus fine de la réalité de la décision collective municipale donne un tableau plus contrasté qui fait alterner des délibérations portant sur des sujets très modestes et sans réelle portée financière avec des décisions, prises par l’exécutif, qui ne font pas l’objet de délibérations en dépit de leurs conséquences éventuelles sur les finances de la collectivité. Par ailleurs, les délibérations financières municipales sont souvent enserrées dans des contraintes budgétaires, fiscales et institutionnelles. De toute évidence, la réalité du fonctionnement des assemblées délibérantes montre que la délibération municipale contribue ainsi au mythe de la démocratie financière locale.
Le mythe de l’équilibre et les finances publiques
Authors: Kott Sébastien
Published: April 2021

L’équilibre budgétaire est un mythe au sens où il n’est pas réalité. Il est avant tout une représentation comptable : les recettes sont égales aux dépenses. Cette injonction s’inscrit dans le prolongement d’une perception mystique de l’univers, de sa stabilité. De manière étonnante, la substitution d’une perception d’un univers en expansion et d’une économie en croissance aux représentations anciennes n’a pas mis à mal le mythe de l’équilibre. Elle l’a plutôt conforté et a permis son inscription dans le droit, sanctuarisant cette construction sociale et culturelle : ce mythe au coeur des finances publiques.
Les mythes en contentieux financier : place à la démystification

En forçant le trait, il serait possible d’affirmer que le contentieux financier relève d’un mythe. Celui, persistant, du jugement des comptes des comptables publics qui traduit les limites d’un adage déformé par le temps et souffre d’un handicap certain alors que les décisions rendues par le juge des comptes sont trop souvent remises en cause par le ministre des finances. Celui d’une responsabilité financière des gestionnaires publics qui tarde à être mise en place et renvoie aux insuffisances de la gestion de fait et de la CDBF.
La mythologie de l’administration fiscale : permanences et renouvellements

Certains mythes fiscaux ont pour objet de renforcer la légitimité du pouvoir fiscal. Après une mythologie politico-juridique, anti-fiscale, principalement exogène, (mythes de la révolte fiscale, de la réforme fiscale, de l’administration contrôlée, de l’administration responsable) qui a tenté de compenser les rapports inégaux entre les contribuables et l’administration fiscale, des mythes modernes, gestionnaires et suscités par l’administration (les mythes de l’administration managériale, de l’administration numérique, de l’administration de service, de l’administration citoyenne), ont l’ambition de changer ces rapports, sans y parvenir.
Les mythes de la publicité et du secret à l’épreuve de la transparence en droit fiscal
Authors: Ferrari Sébastien
Published: April 2021

La connaissance des données fiscales est gouvernée par deux mythes d’inégale importance, la publicité de l’impôt et le secret fiscal, dont le jeu combiné organise un « secret partagé » entre le contribuable et l’administration fiscale. La montée en puissance récente de l’exigence de transparence en matière fiscale, par sa logique et ses effets, vient bousculer l’ordre établi. Si la transparence semble s’imposer comme un nouveau mythe du droit fiscal, venant phagocyter les plus anciens, elle n’est pas sans comporter des risques encore mal identifiés.
Critical View Of The Neuroscience Of Creativity And Meditation
Authors: Hester David
Published: April 2021

ABSTRACT Creativity is a term reserved for the individuals with artistic abilities. Also, from a general standpoint creativity is the capacity to think in unusual ways. One researcher suggests divergent thinking results in an increased level of creativity and problem-solving style (Delcourt, 2013). For all intents and purposes creative is an ability in which the individual or group views a problem or situation in a new way. This view births new ways to develop novel solutions or products (Winerman, 2005). Many pieces of research have focused on developing and cultivating creativity to the extent that it becomes second nature rather than a learning style. From meta-style, cognitive style, and intellectual prowess, the research of creativity has covered many realms (Evans & Vermunt, 2013). In this paper, the goal is to provide an example of the biological factors that influence creativity and identify biological factors that promote creativity, while illustrating examples of how creativity can be pushed to the next level along with critical thinking.

Exploring Integral Transpersonal Thinking Concepts Through Non-Ordinary States Of Consciousness: An Experiential Look At Transpersonal Thinking
Authors: Doty Michael
Published: April 2021

Consciousness and cognition have always been of interest to me and I have spent a large part of my life exploring non-ordinary states of consciousness and their effect on my thought processes. Many concepts in Integral Transpersonal Thinking resonated with my experience with non-ordinary states and it was through this resonance that I was able to make sense of terms that were initially confusing. Some of my resonance reflected experiences with psychedelics. We are in what has been called the Second Psychedelic Revolution, marked by a cultural shift in acceptance and an increase in the scientific study of psychedelic compounds, their effects on the brain, and their power to heal. This new research also shows that psychedelics allow the brain to make more connections. These compounds reliably produce transpersonal experiences that, in many cases, allow the subject to experience a sense of unity and to transcend normal boundaries of thought. The similarities between concepts in Integral Transpersonal Thinking, as presented in Beyond the Mind, and the psychedelic experience prompted an experiment in which I entered a state of non-ordinary consciousness to help further my understanding of the presented material. The result was a deep feeling of knowing, as if the knowledge is part of my core being. I now feel more prepared than ever for my journey into the science of consciousness.

Self Development And Integral Theory
Authors: Baker Melissa
Published: April 2021

Development is a focal point of human existence from the moment of birth. A magnitude of options is offered in which to choose a path of growth and expansion as we progress. The following is a review of one such choice, the integral theory; included are both an explanation of theory and ideology of human development. This understanding is applied to my personal experience as I participated in P.L. Lattuada’s experiential process of organismic constellation. Through a gradual evolution of meditative processes Lattuada’s organismic constellation method offers a chance to explore one’s egoic translations. The second portion of this paper explores my personal process, revealing some of my personal egoic translations of traumas, fixations, complexes, and shadows.

According to Alfonso Santarpia’s book Introduction to Humanistic Therapies, body could be seen as an interface between inner and external realities, that influences our identity and our worldview. Broadening our perspective to science – especially physicist Fritjof Capra’s Tao of Physics – and jungian and transpersonal approaches of psychoanalysis, we will observe how this could occur, what it could mean and what would be the consequences for academic psychopathology, through the clinical case of two women on their last days.

Jung’s Theory Of Mind. Individuality: Lost, Gained, And Transcended
Authors: Paivi Alho
Published: April 2021

The perception of Jung’s psychology as superstitious, mystical, or out of date is largely an illusion. My aim is to show that Jung’s theory still stands out, endures the test of time, and needs to be acknowledged as an integral and indispensable part of modern academic thinking. This paper deals with individual and collective attitudes, how they are represented to the brain as personified images, projected and identified with, and finally, transcended in order to be renewed. Jung showed that higher states of consciousness are not possible without the transcendence of psychological opposites. This thought is still fairly unknown, although it could solve many problems related to identity and fanaticism. A failure to transcend means a return to unconscious collectivism, as shown by Lenin’s radical materialism, a large-scale experiment with human consciousness. The tendency towards materialism is nevertheless viable also in the Western World and has dominated interpretation of psychological theories and religious symbolism for generations. Literal interpretation of religious symbolism, together with confounding the distinction between descriptive and evaluative opposites, actualises the unrecognised, or neglected shadow of all human characteristics and values. The rise and fall of nations and cultures, as well as ideology and the psychology of an individual are influenced by it.

Introduction: Topical chemotherapeutic agents used in treatment of chronic periodontitis are antimicrobial agents which help in plaque control. The present study evaluates the efficacy of ornidazole gel with gold standard chlorhexidine gel when used as adjunct to scaling and root planing.

Material and Methods: 90 patients diagnosed as chronic periodontitis, having pocket depth ?3 mm and in good systemic health were selected by systematic sampling method and divided in 3 groups. In all 3 groups scaling and root planing was done. In group A, Ornidazole gel application was done while in Group B Chlorhexidine gel application was done while Group C was control group. Plaque Index (PI) and Gingival Index (GI) were recorded at baseline, 1 and 3 months while Probing pocket depth (PPD) and Clinical attachment level (CAL) were recorded at baseline and 3 months.

Results: PI and GI showed significant reduction in all three groups after 1 and 3 months compared to baseline. On inter group comparison, both PI and GI showed no significant difference in reduction of scores after 1 month and 3 months (p>0.05).

The area is the center of problems in the administrative record management of Kebayoran District, because of its dense condition and it is difficult to determine land measurements due to the density of residential areas. The problem in Indonesia to this day is that the administrative boundaries of the kelurahan already exist, but the administrative boundaries for the Rukun Warga / Rukun Tetangga (RW / RT) do not yet exist. The local government of DKI already has a large scale map (1: 1,000) to map RW administrative boundaries. Large-scale mapping (Batas RW) is useful for accurate information on incidence of dengue fever or other diseases, thereby eliminating information bias due to the use of village boundary maps. Another benefit is the accuracy of address management for customers, for example PDAM customers, to facilitate verification of customer data with large-scale maps, especially those that only include RT / RW addresses, without mentioning street names and household numbers. The method used is data mining K-Means Clustering. By using this method, the data that has been obtained can be grouped into several clusters, where the application of the KMeans Clustering process uses Excel calculations. The processed data is divided into 3 clusters, namely: high cluster (C1), medium cluster (C2) and low cluster (C3). The iteration process of this research occurs 2 times so that an assessment is obtained in classifying the household / neighborhood unit based on the Kelurahan. The results obtained are that there is 1 neighborhood unit with the highest cluster (C1), there are 4 neighborhood units with 4 medium clusters (C2), and 5 neighborhood units with the lowest cluster (C3). This data can be input to the sub-district to disseminate information about dengue fever, health education, and for the accuracy of PDAM customer address management and others.

Wireless internet service in educational buildings plays a crucial role in telecommunications for the knowledge sharing process. Therefore, various factors that may limit internet services coverage in the building should be eliminated or reduced. One such factor is path losses. Path losses are caused by multiple obstacles between the transmitting and receiving antennas. The problem of path losses in the education building can be solved by providing signal booster devices or Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi). But not all college buildings have such tools. Besides, WiFi devices also have limitations on bandwidth and the number of users. Thus, mobile communication devices or smartphones located inside the education buildings still need internet service coverage from the transmitter antenna outside the building. An accurate propagation model is required so that the transmitter antenna outside the building can provide internet service coverage to the inside of the building. This paper had been analyzed the selection of propagation models using three validation formulas, namely Mean Error (ME), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), and Standard Deviation Error (SDE). This paper used several propagation models, namely the 3GPP Model, Winner+ Model, and COST231 Model. Based on the analysis of calculation and measurement data, it is known that the COST231 model is the most accurate because it has the lowest ME, RMSE, and SDE values.

The procurement of an item in an agency is an activity that is commonly carried out, including in a hospital, particularly the procurement of medical equipment. The procurement of medical equipment at Pengayoman Cipinang Hospital, Jakarta currently still uses the conventional method where the process is still using the manual method, namely by relying on disposable physical items as the main resource and seems to use many procedures that require a long working time. The influx of medical equipment in very large numbers can cause many risks, such as the amount of money it costs to store medical devices and also being vulnerable to the risk of theft. The conditions mentioned above can affect the quality of health services provided by the hospital to patients who should be well preserved. One of the data processing algorithms that is often used in the data mining process is the A algorithm. The benefit is to find trends between one item and another, where more and more medical equipment appears to be used as a reference in the hospital policy process in ensuring the availability of this medical equipment when needed so that the procurement process can always be fulfilled. Based on the results of the research conducted, it was found that the medical equipment that had the most demand was Surgical Ear Loop Masks 3 (58.33%), Non-Sterile Gloves Size M (58.33%), and Surgical Tie-On 3 PLY Masks (100%)

Bu araştırmada, kullanıcı konumunda bulunan öğretmenlerin video materyalleri bulma, tercih etme ve derslerinde kullanma biçimlerinin ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. Bu çalışmada veriler görüşme yöntemi kullanılarak elde edilmiştir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubu, Bingöl ili Karlıova ilçesindeki 6 ortaokul ve 3 lise kurumunda görev yapan toplam 20 şube öğretmeninden oluşmaktadır. Araştırmada, nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden birisi olan durum çalışması tercih edilmiştir. Katılımcılardan toplanan nitel verileri çözümlemek için içerik analizi yapılmıştır. Görüşmeler yoluyla katılımcılardan elde edilen veriler üç aşamada analiz edilmiştir. İlk bölümde öğretmenlerin video materyalleri nasıl temin ettikleri, ikinci bölümde video materyallerin öğretmenler tarafından kullanılma nedenlerini belirleyen ölçütlerin neler olduğu, üçüncü bölümde ise öğretmenlerin şube bazında video materyalleri sınıf içerisinde kullanma biçimleri analiz edilmiştir. Analiz sonuçları, öğretmenlerin büyük çoğunluğunun EBA’daki video materyalleri içerik bakımından düzensiz ve sayı bakımından yetersiz bulduğundan derslerinde fazla kullanmadıklarını göstermektedir. Öğretmenler EBA’daki video materyalleri derslerinde yardımcı materyal olarak kullanırken; süre, görseller, ses, etkileşim, hikaye, motivasyon ve içerik gibi ölçütleri göz önünde bulundurmaktadırlar. Video materyalleri sınıf içinde kullanma biçimlerine bakıldığında ise alıştırma yaparken, soru çözerken, konu özetlerken, etkileşimli, parçalı veya bütün dersi kapsayacak şekilde şube bazında farklı kullanma biçimleri olduğu görülmektedir.
