Published: February 2020

The paper focused on development of mobile banking adoption model depicting two phases of mobile banking adoption vis-à-vis reducing the resistance to adopt mobile banking and inducing the adoption of mobile banking. The paper has used integrated Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as proposed by Gu et al. (2009), along with two other factors namely Trust and Relative Advantage to study mobile banking adoption behaviour and Resistance Model as proposed by Laukkanen & Kiviniemi (2010) adding relative disadvantage (negative relative advantage) as one more factor, to study the mobile banking resistance behaviour. The data has been collected using online as well as offline questionnaire from 633 respondents in India. The model of dual phase mobile banking adoption will raise an opportunity for increased use of mobile banking in India.

THE SCIENCE OF JUDICIAL PSYCHOLOGY
Authors: TĂRCHILĂ Petru
Published: February 2020

Judicial psychology is the science that analyzes and tries to understand the criminal phenomenon in general and its determinant factor in particular, by the complexity of factors that generate it and by the diversity of its forms of manifestation. Although the determining factor of criminal behavior is always subjective being generated by the psychic of the offender, this aspect must be correlated with the context in which it manifests itself: social, economic, cultural context etc. Judicial psychology investigates the behavior of the individual in all its aspects, seeking a scientific explanation of the mechanisms and factors enhancing criminal favors, thus enabling the identification of the preventive measures to be taken to reduce the categories of offenses. It studies the psycho-behavioral profile of the offender, identifying the causes that determined its behavior in order to take preventive measures.The domain of judicial psychology is mainly deviance, conduct that departs from the moral or legal norms that are dominant in a given culture. The object of judicial psychology is the criminal act, correlated with the psychosocial characteristics of the participants in the judicial action (offender, victim, witness, investigator, magistrate, lawyer, civil party, educator, etc.). The science of judicial psychology also analyzes how these characteristics appear and manifest themselves in concrete and special conditions of their interaction in three phases of the criminal act: the pre-criminal phase, the actual criminal phase and the post-criminal phase.
20 YEARS OF EUROPEAN FUNDS’ MANAGEMENT – WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED AND WHAT IS TO DO NEXT? A PRACTITIONER’S PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Marcu Elena
Published: February 2020

The management of European funds was part of the public agenda, in a consistent manner, for the past 15 to 20 years. Although visible progress has been made since the moment Romania started to access pre-accession funds (Phare, ISPA, SAPARD), to date, with direct effects on the economic growth, the efficiency in implementing it suffered a lot due to the political spectrum intervention, the human resource involved, the volatile administrative framework or even due to the influence, sometimes unwelcomed, of the private sector. The present material tries to unveil some of the causes that affected the implementation of European projects, and also to offer a range of solutions for a better management of it, taking into consideration the fact that the new programming period, 2021-2027, is at our doorstep.

Published: February 2020

Efforts to correct precipitation measurements have been ongoing for decades, but are scarce for tropical highlands. Four tipping-bucket (TB) rain gauges with different resolution that are commonly used in the Andean mountain region were compared—one DAVIS-RC-II, one HOBO-RG3-M, and two TE525MM TB gauges (with and without an Alter-type wind screen). The relative performance of these rain gauges, installed side-by-side in the Zhurucay Ecohydrological Observatory, south Ecuador, at 3780 m a.s.l., was assessed using the TB with the highest resolution (0.1 mm) as reference, i.e. the TE525MM. The effect of rain intensity and wind conditions on gauge performance was estimated as well, using 2 years of data. Results reveal that (i) precipitation amount for the reference TB is on average 5.6 to 7.2% higher than rain gauges having a resolution ≥0.2 mm; (ii) relative underestimation of precipitation from the gauges with coarser resolution is higher during low-intensity rainfall—a maximum deviation of 11% was observed for rain intensities ≤1 mm h-1; (iii) precipitation intensities of 2 mm h-1 or less that occur 75% of the time cannot be determined accurately for timescales shorter than 30 minutes because of the gauges’ resolution, e.g. the absolute bias is >10%; and (iv) wind has a similar effect on all sensors. This analysis contributes to increased accuracy and homogeneity of precipitation measurements throughout the Andean highlands, by quantifying the key role of rain-gauge resolution.

Published: February 2020

Climate change has become one of the most important topics in each country’s government agendas. The current effects demand quicker actions in order to decrease the speed at which the global warming and climate is changing, which are commonly seen in global agreements to reduce pollution. However, the main changes to face and mitigate such phenomena depends on each country´s decision and not on global agreements as the causes are continent-wide although the effects and magnitudes may be local. One of the key components for an effective adaption and mitigation is the role that the population have over national decisions. For this reason, the level of awareness and knowledge about what is occurring in their surroundings vital, thus the importance of a correct information broadcast and education. For the aforementioned reasons, the current study compares the recent perception of a well-educated Ecuadorean community regarding the climate change worldwide and in Ecuador with the scientific evidence and historical facts, and how it affects its vulnerability to the climate change effects.

Published: February 2020

Quishuar es una especie forestal apreciada por sus usos. La explotación intensiva y la oferta insatisfecha de plantas han sido limitantes para cumplir con programas de reforestación. La micropropagación es una técnica que ayudaría a erradicar este problema ya que el propósito es producir mayor cantidad de plantas en menor tiempo. El objetivo de esta investigación fue desarrollar protocolos para la desinfección, establecimiento y multiplicación in vitro, para el efecto se realizaron ensayos partiendo de semillas y brotes de plantas. En la primera fase con semillas, utilizando kilol y benomil, junto con NaOCl al 3 % (10 min), los resultados indican que el porcentaje de germinación fue del 100 % en MS (Murashige y Skoog) y porcentaje de contaminación y oxidación 0 %. Por otro lado, los brotes sometidos a fungicidas con adición de antioxidantes y NaOCl al 1 % (10 min) no presentaron contaminación ni oxidación. El porcentaje de brotación fue del 100 % en WPM (Woody Plant Medium).  En la segunda fase en medio MS sin adición de hormonas se observó una mayor longitud de brote (1.95 cm), número de nudos (1.94 nudos) e índice de multiplicación (2.47). Basándose en los resultados, se sugiere que los protocolos son efectivos para la propagación in vitro.

Published: February 2020

Como paso previo para proponer estrategias de desarrollo en sistemas de producción caprina (SPC) de la provincia de Santa Elena, Ecuador, se propuso tipificar los sistemas mediante indicadores socio-económicos, productivos y ambientales. Se encuestaron a 172 productores y se les preguntó sobre composición familiar y participación en el trabajo, tecnología adoptada, comunicaciones, composición del hato, existencias ganaderas, uso del suelo, ingresos, infraestructura y servicios básicos, acceso a las explotaciones, asistencia técnica y capacitación, trabajo e ingresos extraprediales, manejo e instalaciones, fuente de agua y suplemento alimenticio, aspecto reproductivo, dificultades en la producción de caprinos, comercialización de caprinos. Se redujo el número de variables mediante el análisis de componentes principales (ACP) y las pruebas de χ2, para las variables cuantitativas y cualitativas, respectivamente. Con las CP, que explicaron el 80% de la variabilidad, se llevó a cabo un análisis de conglomerados (AC) que dividió a los establecimientos en 7 grupos. Mediante un análisis de correspondencias múltiples (ACM) se identificaron asociaciones entre grupos y modalidades de las variables cualitativas. Las variables que más aportaron a la diferenciación de los grupos de SP estuvieron relacionadas con la producción caprina, el tamaño de la familia, las producciones avícola, agrícola, porcina y bovina, la participación en el trabajo de la familia, los ingresos por beneficios sociales, el tamaño de la finca y la tecnología adoptada. Dos grupos eran mixtos; uno con mayor actividad porcina; dos se caracterizaron por la cría de cabras para el consumo cuyos ingresos provenían de fuentes externas y dos grupos se definieron por la edad de sus productores.
Meta-análisis del efecto de la inclusión alimenticia de glutamina sobre el desempeño productivo en lechones
Authors: Quisirumbay-Gaibor Jimmy
Published: February 2020

La glutamina no es considerada como un aminoácido esencial; sin embargo, juega un rol importante en la salud y crecimiento de neonatos y adultos. En lechones, el destete genera atrofia de las vellosidades intestinales y retraso en el crecimiento. Varios trabajos han demostrado que la suplementación de glutamina (0,2-2%) disminuye los efectos adversos del estrés post-destete en lechones. El objetivo de este manuscrito fue evaluar el tamaño de efecto de la suplementación de glutamina sobre el rendimiento productivo de lechones, la consistencia de su efecto y la influencia de otros factores mediante el uso de meta-análisis. La administración de glutamina mejora la conversión alimenticia (p<0,001), y los lechones que reciben glutamina convierten mejor el alimento cuando la suplementación duró entre 7 a 14 días (p=0,0023), pues requieren 121,6 g menos de alimento en comparación con el grupo control para hacer 1 kg de peso vivo. Cuando la suplementación se realiza por un periodo de 15 a 30 días y 7 a 30 días, el ahorro de alimento es de 70,6 g (p<0,001) y 87,3 g (p<0,001) por kg de peso vivo, respectivamente. La ganancia diaria de peso es superior en 20,3 g/día (p=0,0029) frente al grupo control entre los 7 a 30 días de suplementación y de 28,2 g/día (p=0,0002) entre los 15 a 30 días.  La edad y peso del lechón al inicio de la suplementación, el nivel de lisina, la proteína cruda y el número de repeticiones por tratamiento influyen en el efecto de la glutamina sobre las variables evaluadas.

Authors: Pertierra Lazo Rosa , Quispe Gonzabay Jimmy
Published: February 2020

Los cultivos sin suelo se presentan como una alternativa de cultivo ante la presencia de suelos marginales con escasez hídrica característicos de la provincia de Santa Elena (PSE). La hidroponía presenta a nivel mundial una alta productividad por unidad de superficie, ahorro de agua y cosechas durante todo el año. La lechuga (Lactuca sativa L.), especie de estación fría, es la más representativa de un sistema hidropónico, pero no es una especie cultivada en la costa ecuatoriana. El objetivo fue analizar desde el punto de vista económico-financiero la propuesta técnica de un cultivo protegido de lechuga bajo sistema hidropónico de raíz flotante llevado a cabo en el clima semiárido de la PSE. Se realizaron cuatro siembras con el cv. Crespa, utilizando la solución nutritiva Hoagland y Arnon. Rendimiento y costos se extrapolaron a una infraestructura de 1.000 m2 equivalente a una superficie productiva efectiva de 240 m2. Se asumen supuestos donde la producción se vende, jornadas laborales de acuerdo a la ley, proyección a 5 años, stock de inventario para una semana, la venta es al por mayor y el margen de beneficio en el año 1 es de 30% y ascendente en los siguientes períodos. Bajo estos criterios el costo de producción unitario (en dólares americanos) ascendió a USD 0,49 y el precio de venta a USD 0,70. La inversión total sumó USD 27.077,99, el VAN USD 58.581,07, con una TIR del 40% y un índice beneficio-costo de 1,26; por lo que económica-financieramente el proyecto se consideró viable.

La fresa (Fragaria vesca) es un cultivo de gran aceptación a nivel mundial, no siendo la excepción en Ecuador. La mayor parte de la producción se realiza a campo abierto, haciendo que existan limitaciones por el ataque de factores bióticos y la influencia de factores abióticos, generando pérdidas en la producción. El presente trabajo se planteó en la provincia de Loja al no existir información precisa de este cultivo e investigaciones sobre el uso de sistemas protegidos (microtúnel). El objetivo principal fue evaluar el efecto de la producción de fresa en los dos sistemas de producción (Campo abierto y microtúnel), con variedades Albion y Monterey; además analizar el costo y rentabilidad de la producción. El sistema a campo abierto fue considerado como un tratamiento testigo para su evaluación frente al de microtunel. El experimento se realizó en la Estación Agropecuaria de la Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja, bajo condiciones de microtúnel y campo abierto, en la cuales se comparó el desarrollo fenológico y productivo de la fresa. Los resultados encontrados en el estudio en los dos sistemas a campo abierto y microtúnel no presentaron una diferencia estadística en las variables fisiológicas evaluadas, concluyendo que la cubierta con microtúnel al cultivo no influyó en el desarrollo en las dos variedades. En relación al análisis de costos-beneficio de la producción, este fue superior en el sistema microtúnel, la inversión fue más fuerte al inicio, sin embargo, se debe indicar que existen varias ventajas productivas en relación con campo abierto, generando beneficios al productor de fresa.

Published: February 2020

The article focuses on investigating the existence of research skill in pre-service science teachers’ lesson plan. A content analysis was employed as a research method to analyze lesson plan documents made by pre-service science teachers. A number of eighty participants who are college students in department of science education in a state university in Indonesia contributed in creating lesson plan. The documents were then analyzed using Research Skill Development (RSD) frameworks. The findings show that there are three types of lesson plan chosen to be developed: cooperative learning (CL), direct instruction (DI), and guided inquiry (GI). The model of GI lesson plan is the highest proportion among other lesson plan model’s crafted by pre-service science teachers. In addition, sixty documents of lesson plan integrate research skill. When these elaborated using RSD frameworks, fifty documents was in prescribed research; ten documents was in bounded research with depicting a comprehensive six facets of RSD frameworks. An implication of this present study indeed is how to create an appropriate strategy in applying the lesson plan model for students in the classroom including gifted students.

The main purpose of this study was to find out the
effectiveness of using Pre-reading activities on students’ reading
comprehension and their
preference of Pre-reading activities. There
were 55 first year college-aged students participating this study. The first
experimental group was treated using Pre Reading Questioning, while the second
experimental group using Pre Reading Vocabulary List. The primary data were
collected from the students’ post-test,
while the supporting data was gained through questionnaire. The primary data
were collected, then analyzed by using independent t-test formula. The result of the t-test analysis was 0.041 (0.041<0.05), which means students who were taught using Pre-reading
Questioning outperformed
those who were taught using Pre-reading Vocabulary List in reading comprehension.
From the questionnaire, Pre-reading Questioning
gained higher preference from
Pre-reading Vocabulary List. Pre-reading Questioning can make the students
understand the text better and give them opportunity to practice thinking and analyzing than Pre-reading
Vocabulary List. It means
that applying Pre-reading Questioning is an effective way to teach reading
comprehension.

Published: February 2020

Researchers have argued that reversible reasoning is involved in all topics in mathematics. The study employed an qualitative research approach, consisted of three sessions (pre-assessment, thinking-aloud, and interview), and involved eight participants enrolled in Algebra class. The aim was to explore the potential role of reversible reasoning on students’ inverse functions. The result of study indicated that there three categories of reversible reasoning that refer to the consistency of students in completing inverse function tasks, which are relational-harmonic, relational-visual, and relational-identity. Mental activities performed by the students in constructing and reasoning inverse functions were also explained. In addition, potential aspects of the students’ reversible reasoning created during the process of constructing meaning were highlighted. These findings provide perspectives on reversible reasoning, students’ understanding of inverse functions, and areas of future research.

Authors: ABU BAKAR Abu Yazid , MAHMUD Mohd Izwan
Published: February 2020

Education system in Malaysia continues to develop and expands to meet the demands of 21st century that strongly advocates the use of technology in teaching and learning. As such, basic education gives greater emphasis on two fields; STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) and TVET (Technology & Vocational Education Training) in order to encourage school students to pursue higher education in STEM and TVET fields. The purpose of this study is to identify profiling of career aspiration and interest of students in both fields. Using Career Exploration Test adapted from Self Directed Search (SDS) with 90 items to evaluate six types of career interests: Realistic (R), Investigative (I), Artistic (A), Social (S), Enterprising (E) and Conventional (C), 138 form one from a particular secondary school in Hulu Langat district were sampled as respondents to this case study. Findings showed that the pattern of dominant traits of interest were Social (S), Investigative (I), and Realistic (R). In general, there was no difference between female and male students. However, for Realistic (R) dimension, majority of male students were dominant as compared to female students. Further findings also showed the existence of high congruency between aspiration and interest for career dimensions of Social (S), Investigative (I) and Realistic (R). This study has implications for schools and related stakeholders to conduct career development programs especially to nurture the interests among students in STEM and TVET among Form One students.

In relation to the advantages of using the cooperative learning model which is proved can make a positive interdependence; recognition in responding to individual differences; students are involved in class planning and management; a relaxed and pleasant class atmosphere; establishing a warm and friendly relationship between students and teachers; and having many opportunities to express pleasant emotional experiences.
Protocols for the draft genome assembly of the eastern banjo frog Limnodynastes dumerilii dumerilii v1
Authors: Li Qiye
Published: February 2020

Background: Amphibian genomes are usually challenging to assemble due to large genome size and high repeat content. The Limnodynastidae is a family of frogs native to Australia, Tasmania and New Guinea. As an anuran lineage that successfully diversified on the Australian continent, it represents an important lineage in the amphibian tree of life but lacks reference genomes. Find: Here we sequenced and annotated the genome of the eastern banjo frog Limnodynastes dumerilii dumerilii to fill this gap. The total length of the genome assembly is 2.38 Gb with a scaffold N50 of 285.9 kb. We identified 1.21 Gb of non-redundant sequences as repetitive element and annotated 24,548 protein-coding genes in the assembly. BUSCO assessment indicated that more than 94% of the expected vertebrate genes were present in the genome assembly and the gene set. Conclusions: We anticipate that this annotated genome assembly will advance the future study of anuran phylogeny and amphibian genome evolution.

Looking Inside the Strategic Plans: Strengths and Weaknesses of Turkish Higher Education Institutions
Authors: Selvitopu Abdullah , Kaya Metin
Published: February 2020

As strengths and weaknesses are regarded as internal features of an organization, the present study focused on strengths and weaknesses of Turkish public universities by analyzing the SWOTs (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) of twenty higher education institutions. By applying qualitative content analytical tools, we tried to make some comparisons, twenty universities, ten ranked at the top and ten at the bottom of the URAP list, were chosen to analyze the strengths and weaknesses. Findings show that all universities top or bottom ones have internal strengths and weaknesses on their own. The strengths of universities differ according to their size, field of service, structure, history and geographical locations. Top universities which are in big size, have a deeply rooted history and situated in a better geographical location can enjoy the strengths as qualified faculty members, organizational culture, internationalization process, infrastructure and good alumni relations. On the other hand, bottom universities which have not got those advantages deal with other strengths such as young faculty members, organizational support and internal communication. As for the weaknesses, top universities need more budget and acceptable rate of faculty member and student. Bottom ones need more qualified faculty members, students and staff. As they are located in disadvantageous regions, they are in need of some promotions to attract faculties, staff, national and international students. In addition, they also should be aware of the contributions of good alumni relations.
Turkish First-Time Supervisees’ Disclosure and Nondisclosure in Clinical Supervision
Authors: Meydan Betül
Published: February 2020

This study sought to examine Turkish first-time supervisees’ opinions regarding disclosure and nondisclosure in clinical supervision via a case study design. The data was collected from 19 volunteer first-time supervisees through a semi-structured interview form and analyzed with content analysis. Results indicated that supervisees’ content of disclosures included supervisory needs and thoughts about supervisor while content of nondisclosure consisted of personal issues, supervision-related issues, and negative feelings about client. Nevertheless, supervisee disclosure was positively influenced by supervisor’s personal characteristics and interventions; supervisee’s expectations from disclosure and personal characteristics, as well as existence of peers in supervision environment and strong supervisory relationship. However, supervisor’s personal characteristics; supervisee’s personal characteristics, negative attitudes toward disclosure, and supervision; and also peers, poor supervision time, poor structure for supervision, evaluation concerns, and weak supervisory relationship have some negative effects on supervisee disclosure. Moreover, supervisee disclosure and nondisclosure had intense effects on supervisee and supervision.
Exploring the Prevalence of Teachers’ Organizational Citizenship Behaviour and its Determinants: Evidence from an under-researched Cultural Milieu

Published: February 2020

Teachers’ organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB) is the teacher behaviour that is discretionary, not directly or explicitly recognised by the formal reward system. The factors found to be determining Teachers’ OCB are different, hinging on country-culture specific nature. Research studies in the sphere of Teachers’ OCB have heretofore been overlooked in Sri Lanka and other similar Asian countries. Hence, this study aims at exploring the degree of prevalence of teacher OCB and its dominant determinants among the teachers in Sri Lanka. The study draws on in-depth qualitative data from interviews and the participants included a convenience sample of teachers and principals employed in secondary schools. The data were analysed deductively using content analysis method. The findings reveal that the teachers’ propensity to perform OCB - towards students, school and their colleagues - is on the decline. The determinants, such as work-family conflict, perceived organizational support, teacher values, teachers’ self-efficacy, student behaviour patterns, and teachers’ pupil control ideologies, seem to be dominant attributing to the low levels of teachers’ OCB.
