Dates palms (Phoenix dactylifera L.) are species of plants which can be found commonly in the Middle East. The fruits are occasionally found and consumed during Ramadhan. There are several factors which can affect the growth of the plant, mycorrhiza is one of the example. Mycorrhiza is a form of mutualistic symbiosis between the root of plants and fungus. This symbiosis is proven to be favorable for plants, as it can help the absorption of the nutrient, help the defensive mechanism against pathogens, and support the plant to cope with the water deficiency. Furthermore, the plants may also have an alternate form of mutualistic symbiosis with the bacteria called endophytic bacteria which involves in the transaction of nutrient and mineral. This study requires the isolation of microorganisms that can be found within the root of date palms. The isolation can be done with the usage of Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) as the media. There were several microorganisms which can be found within the isolated plantâ€™s root. Through identification based on its morphology characteristics, the microorganism that was found probably are Staphylococcus; Bacillus subtillis; Glomeromycota sp., and Glomaceae sp.

UMA BREVE REFLEXÃO SOBRE O PERSONAGEM NEGRO E A CRÍTICA AO RACISMO NA PEÇA LA PUTAIN RESPECTUEUSE, DE JEAN-PAUL SARTRE
Authors: Vieira Fernandes Fernanda
Published: February 2018

A literatura dramática de Jean-Paul Sartre é muitas vezes caracterizada como teatro engajado, pois o dramaturgo acreditava que deveria posicionar-se e emprestar seu nome a certas causas. Este artigo dedica-se à peça La Putain respectueuse, na qual ele expõe o racismo nos Estados Unidos na década de 1940. Após apresentar algumas informações introdutórias sobre o autor e gerais sobre o texto teatral, tais como a gênese, a recepção, o enredo, a estrutura e os personagens, este trabalho debruçar-se-á sobre a construção do personagem negro e o contexto em que o mesmo está inserido, enfatizando o olhar dos personagens brancos para ele e a sua impossibilidade de reação frente a isso. Por fim, à guisa de conclusão, serão lançadas algumas reflexões sobre a situação-limite de segregação racial que a peça apresenta e o que a impotência do sujeito oprimido revela sobre as intenções do autor.
Poéticas da alteridade e visões da América do Sul e da Europa em Débarcadères, de Jules Supervielle
Authors: Darde Augusto
Published: February 2018

Jules Supervielle foi um poeta uruguaio de expressão francesa. Iniciou a carreira literária nas primeiras décadas do século XX, em um momento chave da reflexão sobre o fazer poético. Assim, sua obra é marcada por um ambiente de rupturas estéticas. O livro Débarcadères, publicado em 1922, tematiza a viagem entre a América do Sul e a Europa, trazendo várias paisagens desse deslocamento através dos olhos de um eu-lírico viajante. O presente trabalho irá, em um primeiro momento, apresentar o percurso de formação de Jules Supervielle, destacando um de seus projetos com Débarcadères. Em seguida, será feita uma análise temática de alguns poemas para observar de que maneira seu eu-lírico desenvolve uma poética da alteridade, aproximando-se de uma reflexão moderna em poesia. Por fim, serão analisados poemas que tematizam espaços da América do Sul e da Europa, refletindo sobre as escolhas semânticas que separam os dois continentes.
“LA MAIN” (1924) DE COLETTE E A REPRESENTAÇÃO DA MULHER CASADA NO INÍCIO DO SÉCULO XX
Authors: Machado Maristela Gonçalves Sousa
Published: February 2018

Esse artigo propõe uma leitura de “La main”, novela publicada na coletânea La femme cachée de Colette em 1924. No século em que romance domina as publicações literárias, a autora, assim como outros romancistas renomados, publicou textos curtos que não obtiveram a mesma repercussão no conjunto de sua obra. Pretendo analisar “La main” e realizar uma leitura cruzada da novela com O segundo sexo (1949) de Simone de Beauvoir, obra fundadora dos estudos feministas, para demonstrar que a narrativa de Colette é consubstancial ao seu tempo, ao desvelar os medos e a frustração da mulher casada quando confrontada às exigências da sociedade patriarcal.
THE DYNAMICS OF AFRICA IN WORLD AFFAIRS: FROM AFRO-PESSIMISM TO AFRO-OPTIMISM?
Authors: Wapmuk Sharkdam , Akinkwotu Oluwatooni
Published: February 2018

Os assuntos africanos contribuem para moldar o mundo, e a África, por sua vez, está sendo moldada pelas dinâmicas dos processos e das estruturas internacionais. A posição e o papel da África na política mundial tem sido objeto de várias interpretações, entre Afro-pessimistas e Afro-otimistas. O objetivo deste artigo é examinar, a partir de uma perspectiva histórica, a África nas relações mundiais, da escravidão ao colonialismo; soberania, Estados africanos e a política mundial; a África e a economia política global; a África e as organizações internacionais, particularmente a ONU; as relações africanas com as potências econômicas tradicionais e emergentes, e o futuro da África na política mundial. Os estudos sobre os assuntos africanos devem levar em consideração a realidade histórica da emergência da África no sistema mundial, sua existência e os elementos de continuidade e de transformação nas relações entre os Estados africanos e o resto do mundo. As relações internacionais da África se expandiram para um engajamento para além das grandes potências, como os Estados Unidos, a Grã-Bretanha e a França, para incluir potências emergentes, como a China e a Índia. Dessa maneira, a narrativa sobre a África está gradualmente mudando de um continente sem esperanças para uma ideia de ascensão africana. Dados estes desenvolvimentos, a África deve agir como uma unidade ao abordar seus diversos desafios, devendo buscar engajar a comunidade internacional como ator igualmente importante na política internacional. O artigo recomenda que a relação entre a África e a comunidade internacional deve igualmente passar por uma mudança. Esta relação deve ser enraizada nos princípios de igualdade das nações e dos povos, na colaboração mútua por interesses mútuos e no respeito pela habilidade e pelo direito dos africanos para liderar sua própria mudança.

Authors: Nikolic Milan , Vasilski Dragana
Published: February 2018

Minimalism in architecture which tends to reduce forms is becoming a more
common case in practice. The aim of the research is uncovering its influence
in contemporary life and defining relation of this phenomenon to the reality.
According to this task two hypothesis are formed at the start: ?minimalism in
architecture is the same as a simplified architecture? and ?minimalism is a
style of architecture?. After analyzing influences and characteristics of
minimalism in contemporary space including certain examples from practice,
and some case studies of the architectural achievements based on minimalist
ideas, research results are concluded and defined according to previous
hypothesis. The conclusion includes understanding of minimalism as a way of
thinking and a life style.
Impact of financialization in transformation of urban environment and example of settlement Detelinara in Novi Sad
Authors: Stojanovic Katarina , Losonc Alpar
Published: February 2018

The phenomenon of excessive investment, which usually goes into decline with
excessive financialisation of certain economic domains or certain geographic
areas, among others, marked the period after September 2008. Financialization
is a term that is related to the change in the status of the financial sphere
since the early seventies. ?t this time, movement of huge amounts of
financial mass appeared on the world market. The difference between the
average housing prices and middle-income income is steadily increasing,
causing an increase in demand for housing. Therefore, the real estate prices
rose enormously although rents stagnated. High interest rates and
unemployment have led to a massive loss of housing those who were unable to
repay loans. Financialization is still fueled by cheap money, so that the
poorer turned to the credit market, too. Since this is a global phenomenon
reflected in our region, it is presented on the example of the block in a
residential neighborhood Stara Detelinara in Novi Sad. This paper analyzes
the impact of a particular type of transformation in change of the physical
and social character.
Logistic architecture as new methodological and theoretical construct
Authors: Andjelkovic Katarina
Published: February 2018

The primary discussion of spatial organization that includes the analysis of
the impact of logistics processes on flexibility, the transformability of
spatial solutions and the transparency of space, has not been able to provide
the theoretical and methodological interpretation of their spatio-temporal
flow. This paper will point out the modalities of ?logistic architecture?
production that break the design process tradition, as it turned out as
unable to support creativity-based modes of reception of architectural ideas.
The introduction of the ?logistic architecture? concept announces a new
methodological and theoretical approach to the spatial syntheses of different
processes in a building, aimed at achieving optimal spatio-temporal
conditioning by the logistics system in relation to the use of creative
strategy, as a part of the urban renovation. As my research field, this
research observed the comparative flow of produced vehicles from the factory
end line to the multi-story parking structures within two factories: Fiat
Factory in Kragujevac, Serbia and Volkswagen Transparent Factory in Dresden,
Germany.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the potential redevelopment
perspectives of the former industrial sites. A qualitative analysis of the
post-WWII industrial site in Nis, Serbia, and its modernistic legacy was
performed, related to the important issues of urban morphology. The
qualities which are remaining behind the ?rusty? industrial landscape were
examined in view of the contemporary approach to the concept of the
sustainable city. The research findings suggest the existence of need for
interventions in the actual morphology of the examined urban space in order
to fulfill the contemporary trends of placemaking.
Direct and indirect effects of morphophysiological traits on kernel protein content of confectionary sunflower
Authors: Hladni Nada , Jockovic Milan , Jocic Sinisa , Miklic Vladimir , Miladinovic Dragana , Zoric Miroslav
Published: February 2018

The most important criterion for introducing new confectionary sunflower
hybrids into production is high protein yield. In the breeding process it is
important to identify traits which could be used as selection criteria for
increased kernel protein content. Increase of kernel protein content results
in increased protein yield. This research was conducted during three
vegetation seasons on 22 NS high-protein two-line confectionary sunflower
hybrids produced within the breeding program at IFVCNS, Novi Sad, Serbia.
Strong and very strong correlations were found among the largest number of
examined traits. Based on the analysis of simple correlation coefficients,
strong negative correlation was determined between kernel protein content and
kernel ratio (-0.516*). A weak negative interdependence was determined
between head diameter, seed protein content, and kernel protein content.
Positive but weak correlation was determined between kernel protein content
and thickness of seed, length of seed, width of seed, and 1000 seed weight.
Path coefficient analysis for kernel protein content at phenotypic level
showed that the thickness of seed had a strong positive direct effect on
kernel protein content (DE=382*). Kernel ratio and width of seed had a very
strong direct negative effect on kernel protein content (DE=-0.990**;
DE=0.600**). A weak direct positive effect of head diameter, seed protein
content and length of seed was established, whereas 1000 seed weight had a
weak direct negative effect on kernel protein content. Path coefficient
analysis indicates showed that the thickness of seed has high great influence
on kernel protein content, and an important selection criterion for breeding
for high protein yield.
Influence of genotype and nitrogen nutrition on grain size variability in spring malting barley
Authors: Stupar Vladanka , Paunovic Aleksandar , Madic Milomirka , Knezevic Desimir
Published: February 2018

Grain size is an important quality parameter of malting barley, which depends
on genotypes, environmental factors and their interactions. Also, grain size
is governed by the efficiency of assimilation and translocation of mineral
nutrients (mainly nitrogen) during grain endosperm development, which affects
grain yield. The aim of this study was to evaluate variability in the
percentage of three different grain size classes: class I (thickness ?2.5
mm), class II (2.2-2.5 mm) and class III (<2.2 mm) in spring malting barley
genotypes ('Novosadski 448', 'Novosadski 456', 'Dunavac' and 'Jadran'). The
experiment was conducted during three years (2012-2014) in a randomized
complete block design with three replications at different rates of nitrogen
fertilization (N1=45, N2=75, N3=105 and N4=135 kg ha-1). The presence of
different grain sizes in barley cultivars in all N fertilization treatments
after harvest was investigated. The proportion of the three grain classes was
dependent upon year, cultivar and nitrogen fertilization rate. The highest
percentage of class I grains was recorded in 'Novosadski 456', and that of
class II and class III grains in 'Dunavac'. The percentage of class I grains
increased significantly with increasing nitrogen rates up to 75 kg ha-1,
stagnated at 105 kg ha-1, and decreased significantly as the nitrogen level
was further increased to 135 kg ha-1. Class II and class III grain contents
decreased at nitrogen rates up to 105 kg ha-1, but increased significantly at
135 kg ha-1. The best response to favorable environmental conditions and the
highest percentage of class I grain in all years were recorded in ?Novosadski
456?. The most favorable effect on grain size in the studied spring malting
barley genotypes was exhibited by the nitrogen rate of 75 kg ha-1.

Published: February 2018

Despite the large number of scientific papers dealing with conservation of
forest genetic resources, research about the attitudes and evaluation of
representatives of key stakeholders in the forestry and nature protection
sectors, towards this issue, have not been sufficiently represented so far in
Serbia. The aim of this paper was to study the attitudes of representatives
of key public institutions (administrative and professional), enterprises,
educational and research organizations in the forestry and nature protection
sectors, towards the factors that threaten biodiversity, conservation
methods, state of seed sources in Serbia and proposals of measures to improve
forest genetic resources. The methodology used in the paper is an approach to
the research on conservation of forest genetic resources which is used in the
social sciences. The survey included a total number of 32 respondents in the
territory of the Republic of Serbia. According to the key stakeholders?
opinion, urbanization and infrastructure construction (average score 4.1)
have the greatest negative impact on biodiversity; conservation of forest
genetic resources in natural populations through designation of seed stands
is rated as the most important in situ method (average score 4.60), while
establishment of seed orchards and provenance trials are rated as the most
important ex situ conservation methods (average score 4.19). From the
analysis of respondents' attitudes, it can be concluded that the conservation
of forest genetic resources through designation of seed stands (72%) and
conservation in protected areas (63%) are methods that gave the best results
in Serbia. However, the majority of respondents (about 60%) stated that seed
sources in Serbia do not have an appropriate structure and spatial coverage.
In addition to the professional activities and support from the institutions,
the majority of respondents believe that it is necessary to intensify
activities to promote conservation of forest genetic resources.
Molecular characterization of Cronobacter sakazakii isolated from different herbal teas and mixtures in Serbia
Authors: Josic Dragana , Stojanovic Marija , Lepsanovic Zorica , Katic Vera
Published: February 2018

Cronobacter sakazakii is an important cause of human infections that can be
serious and even fatal among premature neonates and immunocompromised adults
or infants. Because of its high tolerance to osmotic stress, C. sakazakii is
frequently isolated from dried foods, such as powdered infant formula and
herbal teas. The aim of investigation was detection, identification and
molecular characterization of Cronobacter sakazakii isolates from infant
formula and various herbal teas collected from Serbian market and tested for
import control. C. sakazakii was not detected in any of the 360 analysed
samples of powdered infant formula. However, 192 out of 520 samples of herbal
teas tested were positive for C. sakazakii (37.1%). The high prevalence was
observed in teas for children (51.6%) and in ?baby? teas (44.1%), followed by
medicinal teas (38%). The largest one-herb-teas group (221 samples) contained
72 C. sakazakii-positive samples (32.6%) and involved Sennae folium, Althaeae
radix, Menthae piperitae folium, Chamomilae flos and Urticae folium teas.
Molecular characterization of isolated C. sakazakii from different herbal
teas by rep-PCR, RAPD and 16S rRNA sequences analysis showed the high
similarity to C. sakazakii NCTC 8155. Knowing this strain as one of the most
pathogenic clinical strains, our results raise concern about the safety risks
these foods pose to immunocompromised and healthy consumers, especially for
babies and children.
The Uterine Milk Protein (UTMP) gene is associated with milk production traits in Iranian Holstein bulls
Authors: Yousefi Ahad , Salehi Abdolreza , Aminafshar Mehdi , Bagher Sayyadnejad
Published: February 2018

Uterine Milk Protein (UTMP) the member of Serine Protease Inhibitor
superfamily secreted from uterine endometrium during pregnancy under
influence of progesterone. Specific functions of UTMP include protease
inhibition, growth control, and direct nutrition of the conceptus. This
investigation was performed in order to study polymorphism of UTMP gene and
its association with milk production traits in Iranian Holstein bulls.
Genomic DNA was extracted from 100 semen samples of proven bulls. In order to
amplify 568bp-fragment including same part of intron 3, whole exon 4 and
downstream of UTMP gene, a pair of primer was designed. PCR products were
digested with BsrI enzyme. The allele frequencies of a, b and c were 0.135,
0.69 and 0.175, respectively in studied population. Four genotypes AB, BB, BC
and CC were observed with frequencies of 0.27, 0.49, 0.13 and 0.11,
respectively. Genotypes AA and AC were not observed in this study. The
chi-square (X2) test revealed deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Data
were obtained from animal breeding centre of Iran for the first lactation
during 1993-2008 to estimate some genetic parameters. Heritability of milk
yield, fat yield, protein yield, fat percent and protein percent were 0.28,
0.21, 0.22, 0.32 and 0.34 respectively. Results indicated significant
association between UTMP Genotypes and milk, fat and protein yield traits.
Meanwhile, Bulls with CC Genotype had higher milk, fat and protein yield
compared to other genotypes (p<0.05). These results suggested UTMP as a
candidate gene influencing milk production traits might be implemented in
breeding programs to improve the production performance of Iranian Holstein
cattle.
When Analysts Speak, Do Auditors Listen?
Authors: Newton Nathan J.
Published: February 2018

Prior studies examining the interactions of auditors and analysts have generally focused on how auditors influence analysts' forecasts or audit clients' behavior relative to those forecasts without considering how analysts might influence auditors. However, auditing standards encourage auditors to incorporate analyst-provided information into their risk assessment and audit planning. This study investigates whether auditors respond to a signal of potential misstatement risk derived from differences between auditors' earnings expectations and analysts' forecasts. Results indicate that auditors respond to this signal by charging higher fees and delaying the release of the audit report, which in combination suggest greater audit effort. Further, this signal reflects actual misstatement risk in the form of subsequent restatements, but audit effort mitigates this risk. Finally, auditors' response to analyst information is attenuated when forecast dispersion and forecast error suggest the signal lacks credibility. Overall, these findings suggest that auditors incorporate analyst-provided information into the audit process.

Published: February 2018

The book “The Tail of the Fish” was publised in 1968 and written by a Te Aupouri kuia, Matire Kereama (nee: Hoeft) of the far north of Aotearoa, New Zealand. I grew up with this book as my grandmother would read the stories to me at bedtime. Although my comprehension of each story was very vague and unrelatable to my life at that time, today, I find myself totally absorbed by the historical content and knowledge encapsulated in each chapter.

I completed a Masters of Applied Indigenous Knowledge at Te Wananga o Aotearoa in 2017, entitled; Tales of the singing fish: He tangi wairua. I compsed twelve waiata (Maori songs) of which ten of the waiata was information extracted from ten chapters of the book. The other two waiata were composed specifically for my people of the Te Rarawa tribe, namely, Ahipara.

The story of Reitu and Reipae were ancestors of the Tainui people located at Tuakau.

Published: February 2018

The Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) is the absolute number of neutrophil derived from the multiplication of the relative number of leukocytes to the total neutrophil count. Neutrophils can be disturbed due to myelosupressive effects of chemotherapy. Fever is a common symptom in neutropenia patients due to chemotherapy. This fever is an emergency requiring rapid handling of Oncology and needs administration of appropriate antibiotics. Therefore, the data on the occurence of neutropenia and its related fever in patients whom accept chemotherapy after breast cancer it is important to be noted. This study is carried on to know the Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) in breast cancer patients with chemotherapy by analyzing them. The study was performed retrospectively by taking medical record data from January up to December 2012 in Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital Makassar. The absolute Neutrophil Count pre and afterchemotherapy analysis was done to determine neutropenia, as well as the febrile neutropenia and the correlation between ANC with patients age and stage of breast cancer. A total of 55 samples with the majority of patients (85.45%) were in the age group of 41–60 years old. The ANC after chemotherapy occurred in 50 patients were decreased (90.91%). There are five (5) patients (9.09%) with fever and two (2) persons (patients) (3.63%) suffered febrile neutropenia. The correlation analysis between decreased ANC with patient age and stage of breast cancer are p=0.054 and 0.070 respectively. Based on this study it can be concluded, that decreased ANC occurredin most patients after accepting chemotherapy but only few patients suffered febrile neutropenia. There was no significant correlation between the decreased ANC with patient age and stage of breast cancer

Published: February 2018

There have been some cases indicating the dissatisfaction of traditional communities with regards to tourism that does not economically contribute to their cultural activities. The legal issue raised in this writing is the lack of, or maybe the abstention of, a regulation that specifically regulates indigenous culture as a tourism economic resource. This article is aimed at describing and analyzing relevant international and national instruments that regulate the issues of indigenous culture and economic activities of tourism. The cases of Indonesia, especially Bali, compared with Australia are the focus of this article. It has been found that Indonesian laws and regulations are insufficient to protect culture as a tourism economic resource. In contrast, Australia has adopted a trichotomous approach wherein economic, social and cultural factors are separate and can be managed separately, an approach that has had mixed results.

Authors: Da Silva Gisele Aparecida Martins , Hermosilla José Luís Garcia , Da Silva Ethel Cristina Chiari
Published: February 2018

A partir de 2005, aespecificação técnica ISO/TS 16949, que é uma especificação técnica cujo objetivo é o desenvolvimento de um sistema de gestão da qualidade, passou a exigir da indústria automotiva, o uso da metodologia FMEA (Análise de Modo e Efeitos de Falha) em todas as atividades de desenvolvimento de produtos e processos. Apesar das vantagens que a metodologia proporciona na busca e solução de problemas, alguns estudos têm apontado problemas em sua sistemática de cálculo do risco, assim como dificuldades em sua aplicação, podendo afetar o processo de tomada de decisão da equipe de trabalho, e a eficiência de suas ações para a organização, no que se refere a gestão da qualidade. Com o propósito de ampliar os conhecimentos a respeito da utilização desta metodologia, este trabalho teve como objetivo, identificar as deficiências e dificuldades da utilização da ferramenta FMEA no segmento de produção de peças automotivas. A pesquisa qualitativa e de natureza descritiva, tomou como base o acompanhamento de dez eventos que envolveram o uso do FMEA em uma empresa do segmento automotivo, assim como o depoimento de cinco profissionais da área técnica, que foram os gestores responsáveis pela condução destes processos. Como resultados, observa-se que a aplicação do FMEA apresenta subjetividade por parte da equipe na priorização dos riscos utilizando o valor de NPR (Número de Prioridade de Risco), e que muitas vezes a equipe multifuncional utiliza a ferramenta somente por exigências da especificação técnica e não como uma atividade que agrega valor à empresa.

Introducción. El presente estudio analizó el papel predictor sobre la fluidez de cálculo de distintos predictores específicos que conforman las habilidades numéricas tempranas.Método. Un total de 122 alumnos (M = 69.89 meses; DT = 3.44), de los cuales 54 fueron niñas y 68 niños. Las habilidades numéricas fueron evaluadas al finalizar la educación infantil y la fluidez de cálculo en el primer curso de educación primaria.Resultados. El resultado del análisis de regresión lineal arrojó un modelo predictivo que explicaba el 27.9% de la varianza de la fluidez de cálculo. El conteo verbal (β = .377), conteo resultante (β = .191) y estimación (β = .159), fueron la variables que explicaron en mayor medida la fluidez de cálculo en 1º de Educación Primaria.Discusión y Conclusión. Las habilidades numéricas predijeron la fluidez de cálculo, sin embargo, no fue así en el caso de las habilidades relacionales. Se discute la importancia del conteo como dominio para el aprendizaje de las matemáticas.

Introduction. We examined the associations and proportionate contributions of three wellvalidated models of stressful psychosocial work environment (job strain, effort-reward imbalance, and organizational injustice) in explaining depressive symptoms among primary school teachers. In addition, we tested the mediating role of different types of sleep problems.Method. The participants included 76 Finnish primary school teachers. The associations between the three work-related psychosocial factors, sleep problems, and depressive symptoms were examined using multiple linear regression analyses and bootstrap mediation analyses, adjusting for gender and age. Relative weight analyses were performed to examine the proportionate contributions of the work-related psychosocial factors on depressive symptoms.Results. Both effort-reward imbalance and job strain showed positive associations with depressive symptoms, whereas the association between organizational injustice and depressive symptoms was not significant. When the proportionate contributions of job strain, effortreward imbalance, and organizational injustice on depressive symptoms were analysed simultaneously, effort-reward imbalance was found to be the most important predictor. According to bootstrap mediation analyses, sleep problems in terms of nonrestorative sleep explained 18% of the association between job strain and depressive symptoms and 11% of the association between effort-reward imbalance and depressive symptoms. Conclusion. Our findings suggest that, for primary school teachers, particularly effort-reward imbalance but also job strain may be risk factors for depressive symptoms, and that this association might be partly explained by impaired sleep. Adjusting work demands and increasing the rewarding aspects of teachers’ work may enhance sleep quality and reduce depressive symptoms in primary school teachers’ occupation.
Acceleration, Enrichment, or Internal Differentiation – Consequences of Measures to Promote Gifted Students Anticipated by German Secondary School Teachers
Authors: Endepohls-Ulpe Martina
Published: February 2018

Introduction. In the last decades numerous measures and programs to promote gifted students have been developed worldwide. But in spite of these enhanced scientific and public efforts to improve gifted education, there are still a lot of difficulties to implement some of these measures in the daily routine of schools. The presented study examines the consequences – for students as well as for teachers – which teachers from German upper secondary (”Gymnasium”) and secondary modern schools (Realschule) anticipate for measures to promote gifted students: acceleration, enrichment, internal differentiation and early placement at university.Method. 175 teachers (111 Gymnasium teachers, 64 teachers from secondary modern schools) filled in a questionnaire with 4-step Likert-Items on possible outcomes of the four different types of promotion for gifted students. Data analysis was done by 2x2x4 ANOVA with repeated measurement, with type of school and experience with measures of promotion as between subject factors, type of measure as inner subject factor and mean values on items concerning anticipated consequences as dependent variable.Results. Results show significant differences with respect to assessed outcomes between the four specified measures. Especially for early placement at university teachers feared negative consequences for students like work overload, social marginalization and lack of leisure time. For internal differentiation, the method with the most positive anticipated outcomes for students, strong negative consequences in form of work overload and organizational problems for teachers were anticipated.Conclusion. To counteract teachers’ – mostly non-realistic – apprehensions and their possible negative consequences on the promotion of gifted students, it seems necessary to provide teachers with realistic information on the consequences of various measures of gifted education. In addition, methods of internal differentiation should be imparted in teacher training for secondary school teachers at universities as well as in advanced teacher training.

Introduction. Studies stress the importance of emotions in conflict, describing how they influence any mediation process. Resolving conflicts requires emotional abilities and it usually implies emotional learning. One of the main objectives of this paper is to better understand the role of emotions in mediation processes: how they impact this process and what emotional aspects are developed through them. A review of the theoretical framework of mediation related to this specific issue and the results of an emplirical study based on the emotional experience of mediation processes are presented.Method. An ad hoc questionnaire was created in order to assess perceived emotional learning gains after a mediation process. For this purpose, a total of 46 teachers mediators, 33 peer mediators and 23 mediated students participated in the study (n=102).Results. The questionnaire allowed to study the level of perceived learning gain in two differentiated dimensions: emotional awareness and emotional regulation. All groups (teacher mediators, peer mediators and mediated students) perceived a high level of emotional learning, indicanting the effectiveness of the mediation process. No differences in perceived emotional learning gains were found among groups (p= .56). However, although learning improvements were perceived in both dimensions, the level of perceived learning gain in emotional regulation was significantly higher than that perceived in of emotional awareness (p= .002). On the other hand, a shift from negative to positive emotions during the process of mediation was found in pupils mediated.Discussion and Conclusion. Mediation is a strategy that promotes emotional learning to all of those who take part in it. This study highlights the importance of mediation processes in developing emotional learning. Two main aspects of emotional learning, which were promoted by mediation, were identified in this study: emotional awareness and emotional regulation. It is considered that learning how to manage emotions should be present in any mediator’s training course, since a stable resolution of conflicts depends on an adequated management of emotions.

Introduction. The Approaches and Study Skills Inventory for Students (ASSIST Short Version) was used to better understand the students’ approaches to learning in a mathematics classes.Method. Quantitave method was used in this study. Participants were 345 first and second year mathematics students from a university in the Gauteng province of South Africa. The reliability of the ASSIST Short Version was computed by Cronbach’s alpha. The coefficient values from scores of each group are presented with respect to the preliminary data phase and the post-intervention data phase. The validity of the ASSIST questionnaire was computed using content validity which involved the computation of factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis which involved checking whether the theory developed constructs of Deep, Strategic and Surface approaches.Results. The results show that the reliability of ASSIST Short Version, the alpha values ranged between .75 and .83 (preliminary data phase) as well as .65 and .82 (post-intervention data phase). For the content validity the results show that the value of KMO = .769 was acceptable while the Bartlett’s test of sphericity was also statistically significant (p < 0.001). In determining the factor structure from the data, Maximum likelihood factor analysis with Direct oblimin rotation was specified. Construct validity was ascertained by computing through AMOS a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using data from the post-intervention data phase. The results show that the Chi square (χ2) was statistically significant [χ2 = 210.94, df = 132, p < .0001]. The goodness of fit statistics were: TLI = .948, the CFI = .947, and the RMSEA = .054. The results also shows the standardized parameter estimates of the model from the ASSIST questionnaire.Discussion and Conclusion. In terms of reliability of scores from the instrument, the alpha values were accepted for this study because they were comparable to those reported in literature. Validity was computed through factor analysis (content validity) and confirmatory factor analysis (construct validity). Before computing the factor structure of the ASSIST, Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) and Bartlett’s test of sphericity were determined. The two values reported in this study indicated that computing the factor analysis was appropriate for the data. Using the Direct oblimin rotation consistently as in reported literature, a three factor solution was accepted in this study. Because these factors were consistent with those reported in literature content validity was acceptable in this study.
