RESEÑA DEL LIBRO THE DISCOURSE OF NEOLIBERALISM. AN ANATOMY OF A POWERFUL IDEA, DE SIMON SPRINGER (2016). LONDON Y NEW YORK: ROWMAN & LITTEFIELD
Authors: Vázquez Jorge Daniel
Published: June 2019

El Discurso del Neoliberalismo. Anatomía de una idea poderosa de Simon Springer es un trabajo que logra una síntesis entre la economía política y las perspectivas postestructuralistas en el análisis de la relación entre neo- liberalismo y poder. En gran parte, la fuerza del neoliberalismo proviene de nuestra activa participación en su discurso. Así, el título de este libro no se re ere al neoliberalismo desde la perspectiva metodológica de “el análisis del discurso”, sino a su “orden del discurso” en tanto forma política y económica.

La escuela de la esperanza: Una nueva categoría ante el contrarrelato de las competencias
Authors: Mosquera Mosquera Carlos Enrique , Rodríguez Lozano María Nelsy
Published: June 2019

El presente manuscrito tiene como finalidad repensar la conducción de la escuela en medio de la dispersión, como un lugar de esperanza frente a la contingencia generalizada y al encauzamiento al cual la sociedad de control la ha sometido, que privilegia un relato sobre la educación en términos de competencias en función de la empresa, y no en el saber convivir con los otros seres, para edificar una sociedad más humana.

Redes de espionaje y conspiraciones durante el inicio del Sitio Grande. Montevideo, 1843
Authors: Duffau Nicolas , Etchechury Mario
Published: June 2019

Entre febrero de 1843 y octubre de 1851, periodo que duró el asedio militar a la ciudad-puerto de Montevideo, en el territorio oriental convivieron dos gobiernos: uno limitado a Montevideo y su línea defensiva y el otro, conocido como del Cerrito, que controló los extramuros de la ciudad y la mayor parte del territorio estatal. El artículo estudia las prácticas políticas “subterráneas” vinculadas al espionaje, la conspiración, la deserción y la circulación de información reservada en el año 1843. Por ello nos centraremos en el accionar de lo que las autoridades montevideanas designaban como conspiradores, complotados, enemigos internos o traidores, quienes, trabajando en la clandestinidad, buscaban desestabilizar al gobierno de la ciudad y facilitar el triunfo del enemigo.
Cecilia L. Allemandi. Sirvientes, criados y nodrizas. Una historia del servicio doméstico en la ciudad de Buenos Aires (fines del siglo XIX y principios del XX).
Authors: Valenzuela Reyes Pedro
Published: June 2019

El trabajo doméstico durante el siglo xix en Latinoamérica ha sido un tópico más bien descuidado por la historiografía contemporánea. Los esfuerzos de la historia y de las distintas ciencias sociales se han centrado de manera mucho más amplia en las condiciones laborales de los trabajadores domésticos del siglo xx y xxi que en la conformación de este sector, tan importante para la vida moderna. Asimismo, la producción intelectual referente a la servidumbre se ha preocupado por describir los cambios en la normativa legal del gremio y cómo se fue logrando una serie de mejoramientos en las condiciones en que se desarrollaba este trabajo. Sin embargo, no ha existido mayor preocupación por explorar las condiciones efectivas en que se desempeñaban las labores en el período de transición de “criados” a empleados domésticos. Allí se encuentra el mayor aporte del trabajo de Cecilia Allemandi.

Este artículo muestra que las redes de las Organizaciones de la Sociedad Civil (OSC) potencian la gobernanza del 2030 al lograr la inclusión de temas en la Agenda 2030. Simultáneamente, fueron pilares en la formulación de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS), al proveer información clave. Su oferta de valor es insumo de base para el monitoreo y la evaluación de la apuesta planteada para el segundo quindenio del siglo XXI. Esto se logró luego del análisis de la información de páginas web de organismos intergubernamentales, instituciones estatales y de OSC (junio de 2013 a junio de 2016), respaldada con textos académicos.
La escuela como institución y los imaginarios en disputa
Authors: Romo-Morales Gerardo
Published: June 2019

El presente artículo discute el nivel imaginario-simbólico asociado a la educación en general y a la escuela en particular. Se argumenta que hay en este un enfrentamiento que hace disminuir la presencia de la modernidad más clásica, a favor de una visión relativista que posiciona como hegemónica la idea de la eficiencia en el marco del programa institucional de la empresa capitalista. Para ello, se hace un recorrido de la escuela como institución, desde su vinculación con el modelo eclesiástico del período Carolingio en el siglo IX, en Europa occidental, hasta la época actual. Se revisan sus características principales, su transcurso y modificaciones a lo largo de la historia, en la que se destaca la laicización de la misma. Se revisan entonces los imaginarios vinculados a la escuela, el lugar de lo funcional y simbólico-imaginario en la discusión de este dispositivo. Para finalizar, se señala como es que su esclarecimiento ayuda a entender el asunto educativo en general, el de la escuela y sus actores en particular.

Published: June 2019

Концентрати неону, гелію, криптону і ксенону здобувають з атмосфери в якості побічних продуктів при переробці в повітророздільних установках великих обсягів атмосферного повітря. Основними джерелами неону і гелію в Україні є кисневі цехи металургійних і хімічних комплексі. Сира неоногелієва суміш, містить в собі близько 50% побічних домішок, основною з яких є азот. Зниження кількості домішок в продукті особливо важливо в разі значної віддаленості джерела сировини від ділянки його остаточної переробки. Збагачення неоногелієвої суміші дозволяє знизити транспортні витрати та спростити глибоку адсорбційну очистку, що практикуються в технології отримання чистого неону та гелію.У даній статті проведено порівняльний аналіз варіантів забезпечення кріогенних температур, що можуть використовуватись в технологіях первинного збагачення неонгелієвої суміші. Серед них: рідкий азот, киплячий в умовах вакууму, ежектор, який працює в сукупності з вакуумом-насосом та як окремий пристрій, безмашинні вихрові апарати, що використовують наявний перепад тиску в ступенях фазового сепаратора. Найбільш поширеним варіантом охолодження фазових сепараторів є розімкнутий холодильний «цикл» з рідким азотом в якості робочої речовини. Однак, температура кипіння азоту при атмосферному тиску не забезпечує бажаної концентрації неону і гелію на виході з апарату. Розглянуто альтернативні способи охолодження сепараторів, які забезпечують пониження температури нижче 68 К. Завдяки цьому досягнуто додаткове збагачення цільових продуктів на виході з фазового сепаратора (дефлегматора).
Adiabated flowing streams in nozzles: influence of regular characteristics on relaxation steam formation
Authors: Chekh O. , Sharapov S. , Arsenyev V.
Published: June 2019

Two-phase nozzles, in which the phase transition process takes place, can work in jet superchargers for various  purposes,  including  jet  thermal pumps (steam-water injectors) and thermal compressors. In such schemes of thermal transformers, the ejector performs the function of a preliminary compression stage in order to reduce the load on the compression  of  the working substance in the main compressor. The use of fluxes of boiling liquid as energy-efficient working fluids is inhibited due to the lack of a reliable description of the mechanism of their flow. Finding the dependence of the steam content on the pressure and temperature at the nozzle exit  will  make  it  possible to  determine the variant  of  the initial  parameters at which the overproduction of steam will be greatest. It is also worth determining the change in the velocity factor, as well as the change  in  the  thrust  of  the nozzle in the studied range of parameters, in order to find out  whether  the pressure at the nozzle outlet is a determining factor when choosing the design parameters of the nozzles. The article proposes to investigate the boiling streams in such nozzles by the method of mathematical modeling using a model that takes into account the relaxation nature of vaporization. The study used a compressible  two-phase medium model, a kinetic model of evaporation / condensation. The model also takes into account  the dynamic and mechanical  equilibrium of  the process  of  evaporation-condensation. The calculations were performed using an Ansys CFX  commercial  CFD  product. The value of the mean square relative error of pressure measurement does not exceed 0,119%. The average discrepancy between the obtained data between the mathematical model and the field experiment does not exceed 3%.
Analyzing the efficiency of moderate and deep cooling of air at the inlet of gas turbine in various climatic conditions
Authors: Radchenko A. M. , Zongming Y. , Portnoi B. S.
Published: June 2019

The efficiency of deep cooling air at the inlet of gas turbine unite to the temperature of 10 °С by waste heat recovery combined absorption-ejector chiller was analyzed in climatic conditions at Kharkov site, Ukraine, and Beijing site, China, and compared with the moderate cooling to the temperature of 15°C  in  traditional absorption lithium-bromide chiller. The  refrigerant  ejector chiller is chosen  as the most simple and  reliable in operation chiller. It  was used as the low-temperature stage for subcooling the air precooled in absorption lithium-bromide chiller to the temperature about 15 °C. Both waste heat recovery absorption  lithium-bromide chiller and ejector chiller use the  heat of  gas turbine unite exhaust gas to produce a cooling capacity. Air cooling at the inlet of gas turbine unite  was investigated for varying climatic conditions during the year.  The current values of  temperature depression with  cooling  ambient air to different temperatures of 10 °C and 15 °C and corresponding cooling capacities required were calculated. The comparison of  the  effect  due to gas turbine unite inlet air cooling was performed by annual fuel saving and power production growth. With  this the current values of turbine power output increase and specific fuel consumption decrease due to cooling inlet air from current varying ambient  temperatures to the temperatures of 10 °C and 15 °C were calculated.  It  was  shown that annual fuel saving and power production growth have increased by 1,8 times for Kharkov (Ukraine) site climatic conditions and  by 1,6 times  for Beijing (China)  site due  to  deep cooling air to the temperature of 10 °C  by  absorption-ejector chiller as compared with cooling inlet air to the temperature of 15 °C by absorption lithium-bromide chiller.

ANN-based evaluation of wind power generation: A case study in Kutahya, Turkey
Authors: Özgür Mustafa Arif
Published: June 2019

Wind energy is one of the most signiﬁcant and rapidly developing renewable energy sources in the world and it provides a clean energy resource, which is a promising alternative in the short term in Turkey. The wind energy potential in various parts of Turkey is becoming economical due to reductions in wind turbine costs, and in fossil fuel atmospheric pollution. This paper is to present, in brief, wind potential in Turkey and to perform an investigation on the wind energy potential of the Kutahya region. A wind measurement station was established at Dumlupinar University Main Campus in order to ﬁgure out the wind energy potential in the province. This study analyses the electricity generation capacity of the Kutahya region, Turkey, which uses the wind power system. In the study, the wind data collected from wind measurement stations between July 2001 and June 2004 (36 months) were evaluated to determine the energy potential of the region. Using this energy potential value, the power generation capacity of Kutahya was investigated for 17 different wind turbines. In this analysis, an ANN-based model and Weibull and Rayleigh distribution models were used to determine the power generation. In the ANN model, different feed-forward back propagation learning algorithms, namely Pola-Ribiere Conjugate Gradient, Levenberg–Marquardt and Scaled Conjugate Gradient were applied. The best appropriate model was determined as Levenberg–Marquardt with 15 neurons in a single hidden layer. Using the best ANN topology, it was determined that all the turbines were profitable except turbine type 1. The system with the turbine type 3 was decisively the most profitable case as determined at the end of the study according to Net Present Value  concept.
Application of multiple regression analysis to forecasting South Africa’s electricity demand
Authors: Koen Renee , Holloway Jennifer
Published: June 2019

In a developing country such as South Africa, understanding the expected future demand for electricity is very important in various planning contexts. It is specifically important to understand how expected scenarios regarding population or economic growth can be translated into corresponding future electricity usage patterns. This paper discusses a methodology for forecasting long-term electricity demand that was specifically developed for applying to such scenarios. The methodology uses a series of multiple regression models to quantify historical patterns of electricity usage per sector in relation to patterns observed in certain economic and demographic variables, and uses these relationships to derive expected future electricity usage patterns. The methodology has been used successfully to derive forecasts used for strategic planning within a private company as well as to provide forecasts to aid planning in the public sector. This paper discusses the development of the modelling methodology, provides details regarding the extensive data collection and validation processes followed during the model development, and reports on the relevant model fit statistics. The paper also shows that the forecasting methodology has to some extent been able to match the actual patterns, and therefore concludes that the methodology can be used to support planning by translating changes relating to economic and demographic growth, for a range of scenarios, into a corresponding electricity demand. The methodology therefore fills a particular gap within the South African long-term electricity forecasting domain.
Determinants of energy poverty in South Africa
Authors: Ismail Zaakirah , Khembo Patrick
Published: June 2019

This paper provides empirical evidence on the determinants of energy poverty in South African households using the National Income Dynamics Survey (NIDS, 2012), while controlling for individual, household and demographic characteristics. This is formulated within a logistic regression framework, while defining energy poverty using the expenditure approach consistent with the definition by the Department of Energy (DoE) of South Africa. The model reveals that household expenditure patterns, race, education level, household and dwelling size, location of the household and access to electricity are important factors in explaining the state of energy in South African households. This paper also discusses limitations in defining energy poverty using the expenditure approach. Finally, some recommendations are made for regulators and policy makers.
Harnessing Nigeria’s abundant solar energy potential using the DESERTEC model
Authors: Akuru Udochukwu B. , Okoro Ogbonnaya I. , Maduko Chibuike F.
Published: June 2019

The DESERTEC project, a European Union (EU) initiative to harness solar energy by means of Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) from Africa for use in Europe, shows the enormous potential that exists in alternative energy sources for the sub-region once there is political will. The Trans-Mediterranean Renewable Energy Corporation (TREC), a network of scientists and politicians who have taken it upon themselves to solve Europe’s energy problem using sun from Africa, conducted three studies which evaluated the potential of renewable energy resources in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), the expected needs for water and power in EU-MENA between now and 2050 and issues relating to the construction of an electricity transmission grid connecting the EU and MENA (EU-MENA-Connection), with a formula to turn the North African desert sun into electricity and transport same to Europe. This paper harnesses the TREC fact-finding studies in order to estimate how much the same ideas can be applied in many other parts of the world, Nigeria in particular. Investigation reveals that this association exists with huge potentials for an energy-starved country like Nigeria in harnessing her abundant hot sun in the north, which could go a long way in meeting the energy needs in that part of the country and beyond. Other benefits include unlimited supplies of clean electricity, agricultural gains, and creation of new industries, new jobs and new sources of income.
ÂŞIK VEYSEL’İN “KARA TOPRAK” ŞİİRİNE ONTOLOJİK BİR YAKLAŞIM

Published: June 2019

Tabiat unsurları yaşamın başlangıcından beri insanoğlu için önemli olmuştur. Öyle ki yaratılışı anlatan mitlerde ilk insan bir mağarada su ve toprağın karşımı sonucu oluştu. En eski mitik anlatılardan halk şiirlerine kadar genelde tabiat özelde ise toprak varlığın ayrılmaz bir parçası olarak yer aldı. Doğa ile iç içe yaşayan âşıklar şiirlerinde duygu ve düşüncelerini aktarırken doğanın bütün unsurlarını kullanmıştır. Âşıklık geleneği, Türk sözlü kültür geleneğinin temel dinamiklerinden biridir. Kam, baksı, ozanların Anadolu’daki ardılı olan âşıklar, birincil kültür ortamı bağlamında düşündüğümüzde kültürel kodları muhafaza etmiş ve gelecek nesillere aktarmıştır. Bu bağlamda âşıklar Türk kültürünün sürekliliği açısından önemli işlevlere sahiptirler. 1894 yılında Sivas’ın Sivrialan köyünde doğan Veysel Şatıroğlu, küçük yaşlarda çiçek hastalığı nedeniyle gözlerini kaybeder. Babasının oyalansın diye aldığı saz ile birlikte çalıp söylemeye başlar. Onun gözlerinin görmemesi ve çektiği büyük acılar sanatında olgunlaşmasını sağlar. Âşık Veysel, Türkçe’yi saf ve temiz bir şekilde kullanarak duygu ve düşüncelerini anlaşılır biçimde dile getirmiş bir âşıktır. Âşık Veysel, şiirlerinde tabiat unsularına yer vermiş ve tasavvufun en önemli konusu olan “anasır-ı erbaa”yı da şiirlerine konu etmiştir. Bu makalede Âşık Veysel’in “Kara Toprak” adlı şiiri ontolojik bir yaklaşımla çözümlenmiştir.
Patrimônio cultural indígena: desafios para uma educação patrimonial decolonial
Authors: De Salles Sandro Guimarães , Feitosa Saulo Ferreira , Lacerda Rosane Freire
Published: June 2019

No Brasil, a cultura indígena tem sido reconhecida como parte do patrimônio cultural nacional. Assim, desde que foi criado o Programa Nacional do Patrimônio Imaterial, em 2000, os bens culturais indígenas têm sido objeto de inventários patrimoniais. Essa presença indígena nas políticas patrimoniais, no entanto, ainda não foi devidamente analisada. No presente artigo, procuramos contribuir para essa análise, partindo de uma reflexão crítica sobre a legislação e as políticas públicas nacionais sobre patrimônio e educação patrimonial. Concluímos que, para a potencialização do acesso dos indígenas a tais políticas, faz-se necessário assumir um diálogo mais equânime, além de mudanças epistêmico-conceituais e metodológicas que contemplem as relações interétnicas e o exercício interepistêmico.

Twitter. What some view as just a social media site to see and share ratings with dogs; politicians and journalists are now finding it a requirement of their daily jobs. Politicians are using Twitter in an attempt to circumvent the gatekeeping that media has performed for generations while journalists are trying to keep up and verify all the news sent through it. No one has relied more on Twitter than President Donald J. Trump who uses his account to not only get around the gatekeeping function of the press, but to change the news cycle all together.

Authors: Davis Allison , 2018 Class of
Published: June 2019

Our research team examined pre-service teachers’ (undergraduate students studying education) case study projects to determine what types of decisions teachers make during guided reading instruction. We coded each teacher decision as either a “planning” or “in-the-moment” decision. Our research team then looked at what each teacher decision was related to: did the decision help a child with comprehension, solving for unknown words, etc. The findings revealed that pre-service teachers are able to make complex decisions that often lead to a focus on meaning-making and comprehension.

Published: June 2019

Performance improvements have been reported when mouth rinsing with a carbohydrate (CHO) solution during short duration, high intensity endurance exercise. Limited research has been conducted in this area when endogenous CHO stores are depleted. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of a CHO mouth rinse on endurance-trained cyclists during a 30-kilometer time trial in depleted vs. non-depleted glycogen states. METHODS: 5 endurance-trained men (28±7 years; 179.32±8.15 cm; 68.65±8.16 kg; 54.00±5.95 mL/kg/min VO2 max) participated in a repeated measures crossover study using a CHO mouth rinse (6.4% maltodextrin) or placebo. RESULTS: Subjects completed the time trial faster (p=0.033) in the non-depleted state, despite reporting lower RPE (p=0.010). There was no significant treatment effect, but subjects completed the time trial 20 seconds faster in the depleted CHO mouth rinse condition. Power output was significantly higher (p=0.010) in non-depleted than depleted conditions; no significant treatment effect was observed. RER was significantly higher (p=0.001) in the non-depleted state; no significant differences were observed between mouth rinses. A mouth rinse segment interaction (p=0.028) was observed for heart rate in the last 6k for the CHO mouth rinse condition, indicating a possible increase in effort over the last segment of the time trial. CONCLUSION: CHO mouth rinse may be a valuable tool for performance enhancement in suboptimal nutrition states. Further, the results supported current knowledge regarding performance in depleted and non-depleted glycogen states.
A Phenomenological Analysis of Disability and Empowerment
Authors: Ptak Martin , 2019 Class of
Published: June 2019

The “Martin ReWire Movement Method” (MRMM) is a dance-derived, improvisational technique which focuses on both random, unplanned movement sequences and timed moments of movement repetition. The effects of MRMM are studied within a group of dancers with cerebral palsy. In the study, areas of spasticity, flexibility, and range of motion are observed, recorded, and calculated using motion-tracking software. Beyond these physical effects, there is another area of study regarding the qualitative effects of this dance technique with relation to emotionality and empowerment. In order to better analyze these qualitative data within this population, a different form of research is required: phenomenology. Phenomenological research is focused on heuristics, which is described as an area of study with a primary focus on an individual’s identity and experiences as well as philosophy of mind. This area of scholarship is less known but remains valid and important as supported by the literature. Gathering data using this research model, in this study, consisted of open-ended, interview-style discussion and interaction with each of the dance participants. By learning and understanding the various aspects of these individuals’ lives a more intelligible perception of empowerment materializes. Further phenomenological research is warranted to continue learning about the quality of life aspects of MRMM within a participant population.

Katie and Addyson’s work is primarily centered around the question: Why did Russian trolls want to interfere with the United States presidential election of 2016? They worked with Dr. Tricia Jenkins and were sponsored by the John V. Roach Honors College. Their role in the research consisted of research and an immense amount of coding pertaining to tweets during the time of the election. They sorted tweets with both extreme right and extreme left content. Their findings were presented at a global conference at Oxford in the United Kingdom where they learned of the impact of Russian interference in many international cases.
Assets, Liabilities, and Gender Equity

Men and women communicate differently. However, existing research has yet to examine if the stereotypical gender communication differences are evident in all groups and settings, in particular the case of Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) when presenting financial results. The growing number of female CEOs in the business world creates the possibility of gender-related variation in the communication of financial results, and thus different interpretations of that information by users of financial reports.

This study synthesizes existing research on gender, CEO, oral, and financial communication to fill the gap in research and answer the question: do CEO gender and company economic performance affect how CEOs communicate financial results? Through text analysis of year-end earnings release press conferences and regression analysis of factors that influence measures of the attributes of communication, this study reveals male and female CEO communication patterns do not necessarily align with existing stereotypes. Results show clear differences as expected, unexpected differences, and several non-differences, illustrating that, as a whole, male and female CEO communication are surprisingly similar.

The similarities may be due to the individual personalities of CEOs, a function of a long-standing male dominated executive environment, or other factors not controlled for in the models used in this study. Either way, analysts and other financial statement users should refrain from over-interpreting CEO language on the basis of gender as gender and economic performance appear to have an overall trivial effect on the substance and style of CEO communication.
Resource adequacy and utilization and teaching and learning effectiveness in Vocational Education Programmes in Nigerian universities
Authors: Edokpolor James Edomwonyi
Published: June 2019

This study has investigated the level of physical facilities adequacy and instructional resources utilization for teaching and learning effectiveness in technical and vocational education and training (TVET) programs. A mixed method design was adopted for the study. A stratified random sampling technique was adopted for the study. A sample of 703 participants, which comprised 85 lecturers and 615 undergraduate students while three Heads of Department were purposively selected from Department of Vocational Education cross Federal Universities in South-South, Nigeria. Questionnaires were administered to TVET lecturers and undergraduate students, while Heads of Department were interviewed. Physical facilities, such as, workshops, laboratories, equipment/hand tools, ,entrepreneurship centers, departmental libraries, ICT centers, and lecture rooms, were found to be moderately adequate. Other physical facilities, such as, lecture halls/theater, career counseling centers, lecturers offices, and structures/buildings, were found to be inadequate. However, instructional resources, such as raw materials for practical training, reference books, and course textbooks, were found to be moderately utilized during teaching and learning in TVET program. Other instructional resources, such as general textbooks and academic journals, were found to be rarely utilized during teaching and learning in TVET program. Based on these findings, the authors concluded that the moderate availability and inadequacy of core physical facilities and the rare utilization of instructional resources were attributed to teaching and learning ineffectiveness in TVET programs across Federal Universities in Nigeria, which could further affect students’ self-confidence and self-determination to engage in entrepreneurial career and lifelong learning tasks on graduation. One of the recommendations proffered for the study is that managers of TVET should endeavor to collaborate with other major stakeholders for the provision of funds that would assist in ensuring adequate provision of physical facilities for effective teaching and learning process in TVET programs. Ensuring adequate provision of physical facilities will help in guaranteeing conducive learning environment, which could further help to equip students with requisite skills to engage in entrepreneurial career and lifelong learning on graduation.

Authors: Beveridge Scott , Chan Christian , DiNardo Jeff , Glickman Courtney
Published: June 2019

Background

Over the last 40 years advances in the field of rehabilitation counseling continue to play a major role in the professional identity, skills, and competencies of rehabilitation counselors. While advances have developed in several areas (e.g., multiculturalism, ethics) within the scope of rehabilitation counseling research and practice, there are research gaps for vocational evaluation and the psychometric properties of instruments utilized for assessment.

Objective

This study sought to investigate what psychometric instruments rehabilitation counselors utilize for assessment. Primarily, our goal was to seek major details in how practicing rehabilitation counselors utilize psychometric assessments in their work environments and any ethical concerns involved with their use. We sought to investigate the presence of what assessment tools are commonly used by rehabilitation counseling practitioners and the frequency with which they are used.

Methods

Data from 228 participants was analyzed using a mixed-methods research design with a goal of obtaining both quantitative and qualitative data simultaneously. We sought to determine if there were any statistically significant differences on whether demographic variables affected the selection and use of psychometric assessments.

Findings

Average use of psychometric instruments for assessment use for the entire sample was low, at .66 (between “never” and “sometimes”). Average assessment use for the five subgroups ranged from .37 (body system function) to .99 (interests). Average use for individual assessments ranged from .08 to 2.07. There was a significant effect for education, (R2 = .039 F(1) = 8.82, p = .003).

Conclusions

Results indicate higher education levels were associated with increased utilization of psychometric instruments. In addition, collaboration between psychometric assessments and clinical judgment have proven to be valuable in overall quality of rehabilitation services provided.

Two new nitrato complexes of zinc and nickel with 1,4,8,11-tetrakis(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (tpmc), have been synthesized and characterized. The IR spectral peaks showed that the coordinated and ionic nitrate ions are in agreement with the formula proposed by elemental analysis. Conductometric titrations predicted methanol to be a convenient solvent for synthesis and revealed the stoichiometry of the complexes, while molar electrical conductivities indicated a 1 : 3 complex electrolyte type for the zinc complex, and a 1 : 2 complex electrolyte type for the nickel complex. The optimized complex structure was obtained by molecular modeling and density functional theory calculations. The biological activity of the novel complexes was examined by screening eight different bacterial strains and two cancer cell lines. The zinc complex showed better antimicrobial activity against the bacterial strains, while the complexes did not show significance antiproliferative activity toward cancer cells MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231.
