A Comprehensive Kinetic Model of Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis over Supported Cobalt Catalyst
Authors: Jalilzadeh Reza , Moqadam Mahmoud
Published: March 2017

A comprehensive kinetic model of the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) is developed in a fixed bed reactor under operating conditions (temperature, 230–235°C, pressure, 20–25 bar, gas hourly space velocity, 4000–5000 cm3(STP)/h/gcatalyst ,H2/CO feed molar ratio, 2.1) over a Co based catalyst. Reaction rate equations based on Eley-Rideal (ER) type model for initiation step and Langmuir-Hinshelwood-Hougen-Watson (LHHW) type model for propagation and termination steps of the FTS reactions have been considered and the readsorption of olefins were taken into account. The model that was reported in the literature was modified in order to explain many significant deviations from the ASF distribution. Optimum parameters have been obtained by Genetic Algorithms (GA). The calculated activation energies to produce n-paraffins and 1-olefins were in the range of 82.24 to 90.68 kJ/mol and 100.66 to 105.24 kJ/mol, respectively. The hydrocarbon distribution in FTS reactions was satisfactorily predicted particularly for paraffins.

NET CONSUMER OF RICE AND POVERTY IN INDONESIA: SIMULATION USING EQUIVALENT VARIATION
Authors: Respati Wiena Maulidia , Gafara Witra Ghaitsa , Izzati Ridho Al
Published: March 2017

Indonesia’s domestic rice price has experienced a significantly increase when the global price of corps commodity decline. An increase in rice price from 2012 to 2015 had reached 30%. The most acute occurred on the first quarter of 2014 until the last quarter of 2015 that overtake 17%. Increase in domestic rice price will affect mostly to consumer welfare in Indonesia, because as we know, rice is one of the staple food for Indonesian people whom has inelastic demand.

This paper uses National Socio-economics Survey (SUSENAS) year 2012 and 2014. We revisit McCulloch (2008) and used SUSENAS 2004 to calculate amount of agricultural household in Indonesia. The result of the author’s calculation there was a diminution from 46% in 2004 to 37% in 2012 on the amount of agricultural households in Indonesia. From the total of agricultural household, 19% are the rice-farming households. Surprisingly, 90% of Indonesia’s households are the net consumer whom bought the rice from the market. The result shows that 15% of the total net consumers are the rice-farming households and 10% of net consumers are poor households. This means that if there is an increasing in the price of rice, automatically this household will get influenced include the rice farmers who in fact is also as the rice producers.

The authors conduct simulation to see the effect of the increase in the rice price towards consumptions that ultimately will alter poverty incidence. Simulation that has been performed uses equivalent variation method to calculate a changing on household consumption as the result of an increase in the rice prices. The result from the simulation of a increase in rice price shows that households in every quantile is affected, ceteris paribus. Authors also including Raskin as compensated consumption when there is an increase in rice prices. These findings suggest that, rice price should be stabilized in order to maintain the society’s welfare and government should establish pro-poor policy especially for food security to prevent the increasing of poverty incidence.

Creating objective and measurable postgraduate year 1 residency graduation requirements
Authors: Starosta Kaitlin , Davis Susan L. , Kenney Rachel M. , Peters Michael , To Long , Kalus James S.
Published: March 2017

Purpose

The process of developing objective and measurable postgraduate year 1 (PGY1) residency graduation requirements and a progress tracking system is described.

The PGY1 residency accreditation standard requires that programs establish criteria that must be met by residents for successful completion of the program (i.e., graduation requirements), which should presumably be aligned with helping residents to achieve the purpose of residency training. In addition, programs must track a resident’s progress toward fulfillment of residency goals and objectives. Defining graduation requirements and establishing the process for tracking residents’ progress are left up to the discretion of the residency program. To help standardize resident performance assessments, leaders of an academic medical center–based PGY1 residency program developed graduation requirement criteria that are objective, measurable, and linked back to residency goals and objectives. A system for tracking resident progress relative to quarterly progress targets was instituted. Leaders also developed a focused, on-the-spot skills assessment termed “the Thunderdome,” which was designed for objective evaluation of direct patient care skills. Quarterly data on residents’ progress are used to update and customize each resident’s training plan. Implementation of this system allowed seamless linkage of the training plan, the progress tracking system, and the specified graduation requirement criteria.

Conclusion

PGY1 residency requirements that are objective, that are measurable, and that attempt to identify what skills the resident must demonstrate in order to graduate from the program were developed for use in our residency program. A system for tracking the residents’ progress by comparing residents’ performance to predetermined quarterly benchmarks was developed.

Published: March 2017

Dementia significantly impairs cognitive and behavioral functioning of the person, and in recent years there has been a significant increase in the number of patients suffering from dementia. In Croatia, such patients are often placed in retirement homes, non-specialized institutions for the elderly and infirm, often without adequately educated employees. Attitudes toward dementia seem to be an important factor for adequate care of people with dementia, but there was no previous research on this topic in Croatia. The Dementia Attitudes Scale (DAS) developed by O’Connor and McFadden (2010), is a useful tool in research of attitudes toward dementia. The aim of the study was to translate the scale into the Croatian language and validate it on a Croatian sample. Participants were employees and retirement home users, other health care workers and the general population. Validation conducted on samples that were in everyday contact with dementia patients showed consistent factors (social comfort and dementia knowledge) as in the original scale, so the conclusion was that the questionnaire could be used in that population. Still, overall results that included the general sample showed different factors when compared to the original scale, since the Croatian version did not show standard factors, but rather positive and negative attitudes factors. Results could be seen as highly suggestive and emphasize the need to distinguish and separate research on attitudes toward dementia in different populations.
Povezanost potpore i kontrole roditelja i nastavnika, školskog uspjeha i zadovoljstva učenika
Authors: Mršić Ivona
Published: March 2017

Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati povezanost učeničkih procjena potpore i kontrole nastavnika i roditelja, školskog uspjeha, zadovoljstva sobom kao učenikom i ispitne anksioznosti te razlike u navedenim varijablama s obzirom na spol. Ispitivanje je provedeno na 204 učenika prvih razreda triju gimnazijskih škola (141 učenice i 61 učenik). Korišteni mjerni instrumenti su: Ljestvica potpore i kontrole nastavnika konstruirana za potrebe ovog istraživanja, zatim Ljestvica potpore i kontrole roditelja (Regner, Loose i Dumas, 2009), Podljestvica ispitne anksioznosti (Vulić-Prtorić i Sorić, 2002), mjere školskog uspjeha i zadovoljstva sobom kao učenikom. Utvrđeno je kako učenice, u odnosu na učenike, imaju veću razinu ispitne anksioznosti, zadovoljnije su sobom kao učenikom, procjenjuju da dobivaju veću potporu od roditelja, te da ih nastavnici više kontroliraju. Učenici koji procjenjuju nižu razinu ispitne anksioznosti i veću potporu nastavnika i roditelja postižu bolji školski uspjeh i zadovoljniji su sobom kao učenikom. Potpora nastavnika jedini je značajan prediktor opće prosječne ocjene i zadovoljstva, uz kontrolu spola i ispitne anksioznosti. Potpora i kontrola roditelja, kao i kontrola nastavnika nisu se pokazale značajnim prediktorima školskog uspjeha i zadovoljstva učenika. Istraživanje ističe važnost socijalno-emocionalnih odnosa roditelja i nastavnika s učenicima, s ciljem osiguravanja odgojno-obrazovnih ishoda.
The Effects of Shift Work on Cardiac Dynamics and Job Perception
Authors:   Department of Psychology, University of Zadar, Zadar, Tokić Andrea
Published: March 2017

Previous studies have shown negative effects of shift work on health, due to the desynchronization and resynchronization of biological rhythms. In these studies, among other parameters, indicators of cardiac dynamics were used, such as parameters of R-R interval variability, reduction in what has been considered a good predictor of health problems by some authors. The aim of this study was to determine the possible effects of shift work on the parameters of cardiac dynamics and the job perceptions of nurses of different lengths of service. The study included 48 nurses divided in two groups (24 nurses in each) of equal age and length of service. One group worked a three-shift rotation system and the other (control) worked only the day shift. On the basis of length of service, the groups were divided into three comparable subgroups with eight participants: 1–10, 11–20 and 21–30 years of service. Cardiac activity (R-R intervals) was monitored continuously during the morning shift using the Data Logging System. The participants also evaluated their satisfaction with the job, the difficulty of the work, and the impact of working hours on other aspects of life. Analysis of the results showed reduced variability in cardiac activity (DM-index) in the shift workers with up to 20 years of service, as compared with the comparative groups of day workers, which indicates a less favourable health dynamic. Differences among the oldest groups were not found, which can be attributed to spontaneous selection, where shift workers with health problems are transferred to the day shift. The shift workers were less satisfied with their job, assessing it as more difficult than the daytime workers, and showed a greater level of negative impact of working hours on other domains of life. Despite the specific and limited sample, resulting from difficulties in collecting the psychophysiological variables, the results show a satisfactory reliability and point to an adverse job perception and a cardiac dynamic less favourable for health.

Published: March 2017

Achievement motivation is a concept that can be used for the explanation of individual differences in achievement and success in various contexts as well as an explanation of motivated behaviour. Despite the fact that a generally accepted definition of achievement motivation is still lacking because of disagreement over the traits it encompasses, numerous studies have been conducted on this subject. Researchers agree that achievement motivation is an important factor in professional life, particularly in achieving high professional success when external demands for focusing activity on achieving goals are minimal. It is of particular importance for those activities that have low structure levels and high autonomy. The study included 267 employed adults (124 males and 143 females) older than 18 years. Participants completed the Achievement Motivation Inventory (AMI) which consists of 17 achievement motivation scales. Individual scales form three clusters of motivational facets relating to self-assurance, ambition and self-control. The aim of the study was to determine the existence of gender differences in individual achievement motivation dimensions in employed adults in the Republic of Croatia. The results show the existence of significant gender differences in achievement motivation facets related to self-assurance and ambition in favour of males (e.g. confidence in success, dominance, and fearlessness) and self-control in favour of females. These results are in agreement with previous research and contribute to the usefulness of multifaceted measures of achievement motivation. Keywords: achievement motivation, gender differences, AMI
Factor Structure and Psychometric Properties of the Croatian Short Version of the Empathy Quotient
Authors:   Institute for Social Sciences Ivo Pilar, Zagreb, Wertag Anja , Hanzec Ivana ,   Faculty of Croatian Studies, University of Zagreb, Zagreb
Published: March 2017

The Empathy Quotient (EQ, Baron-Cohen & Wheelwright, 2004) measures empathy as an ability to identify what someone else is thinking and feeling, and to respond to their thoughts and feelings with an appropriate emotion. Although the questionnaire was developed in order to be sensitive to empathy deficits as a part of psychopathology, it is often used in other areas of psychological research as well. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the factor structure and psychometric properties of the short version of the translated Empathy Quotient (EQ-28) that has psychometric superiority over the original version (Lawrence et al., 2004). Data was collected on-line on a convenient sample (N = 115; 81 female and 34 male) with a mean age of 31.30 (SD = 7.49), within a larger study. The results of the principal component analysis showed a clear three-factor solution consistent with the structure proposed by Lawrence et al. (2004). Cronbach’s alpha coefficients indicated high internal consistency of the Cognitive Empathy and the Emotional Reactivity subscales, unlike the Social Skills subscale. The correlations of the EQ-28 subscales and the relevant subscales of the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (Davis, 1983) provided information about the convergent validity of the Cognitive Empathy and the Emotional Reactivity subscales, while the correlations with measures of altruism (measured by HEXACOPI-R, Lee & Ashton, 2004) and the Dark Triad (Jones & Paulhus, 2014) showed the theoretically expected relationships between the given constructs. On the basis of the results of this preliminary study it can be concluded that the Croatian version of the EQ-28 has satisfactory metric characteristics and represents a good measure of cognitive and affective empathy, but these results should be replicated on a larger and more gender balanced sample. Keywords: Empathy Quotient, psychometric properties, Croatian version

El rol de la figura femenina en los videojuegos
Authors: Urbina Ramírez Santos
Published: March 2017

La finalidad de este trabajo es analizar la relación entre videojuegos y género. Para ello, en primer lugar se realiza una síntesis de los aspectos más relevantes relacionados con el tema. A continuación se replica una parte del estudio que en 1991 realizó Provenzo, analizando las portadas de distintos videojuegos. En él se ponía de manifiesto la mayor presencia de personajes masculinos, y se ofrecía una imagen más o menos uniformada y reduccionista de los roles de género: una mujer en papeles pasivos, de víctima o seductora, frente a una figura masculina activa, violenta, dominante y resolutiva. Finalmente se comparan los datos procedentes del estudio original con los obtenidos para el presente estudio.

Agentes inteligentes en educación
Authors: Villarreal Farah Gonzalo
Published: March 2017

Diferentes sistemas computacionales tienen como finalidad apoyar el proceso de enseñanza y en particular de aprendizaje de los estudiantes. Sin embargo, son pocas las aplicaciones que pueden demostrar que apoyan en el logro de los contenidos y/o habilidades propuestos. En el área de la inteligencia artificial, por mucho tiempo, los sistemas tutores inteligentes, fueron desarrollados teniendo algún nivel de resultado. Sin embargo, en la última década aparecen un nuevo tipo de sistemas, basados en agentes inteligentes, que han demostrado su efectividad en procesos de formación y apoyo a la labor tanto de los profesores como de los alumnos. Estos sistemas, se comportan no sólo como un tutor inteligente, si no como un miembro más de un grupo de estudiantes. A raíz del desarrollo que ha experimentado la tecnología en los últimos años y de los resultados de las investigaciones sobre estos agentes inteligentes, se ha observado una creciente atención por estos sistemas. En este artículo, se presentan algunas líneas de investigación del área, como lo son las interfaces basadas en agentes inteligentes, agentes pedagógicos, “compañeros de aprendizaje” y los hipertextos adaptativos.

Published: March 2017

Se presentan los hallazgos del nivel de habilidades digitales con propósito educativo que poseen los estudiantes universitarios en dos regiones de México. La habilidad digital se concibe como un conjunto de destrezas para el manejo de las TIC. Se utilizó un cuestionario organizado en cuatro dimensiones: manejo de información, de comunicación, de organización y de tecnología portátil. Dicho instrumento consistió de 30 reactivos (alpha de Cronbach de 0.94). Los participantes fueron 531; de ellos 357 se ubicaron en la región norte y 174 de la región sur. Los resultados muestran que el nivel medio de habilidad fue de 3.23 (escala 0-4). En 18 de 30 reactivos se presentaron diferencias significativas (p<0.05) entre ambos grupos. No se encontró una relación significativa entre el nivel de habilidad y la media de calificación. Se espera que un buen nivel de habilidad digital propicie mejores condiciones para apoyar el proceso educativo del estudiante.

Reviewing the history of Muhammad’s behavior and business ethics before being appointed as a prophet is an interesting study, because Muhammad’s behavior and business ethics were based on the study of Quran verses. Once appointed to be prophet at the age of 40, the prophet Muhammad’s
life was guided by the revelations of the Qur’an which came down to him. Meanwhile, before being appointed to the prophet, his life was purely as ordinary human beings, struggling with the social reality of ignorant people. His profession as a shepherd and merchant were experiences that he gained during adolescence age. Although Halima al Sa’diyah and Abu Talib are poor but both of them had a big influence in shaping his personal character. Therefore, this study is aimed to determine what factors were becoming the background of Muhammad to be perpetrator of business and
how the ethics business is done to develop his business. The results obtained from this study show that the factors that encourage Muhammad became businessmen during the time before appointed to be prophet include geographical factors, economic factors, family encouragement factor, and factor of married to Khadija. While the business ethics include being honest, trustworthy, accurate in weighing, avoid the trick, not hoard the goods, do not do deceit, and uphold mutual benefit
principle between the seller and buyer. Experience and ethics that made by Muhammad in the business world before he was appointed to the prophet were legitimized by the Prophet Muhammad as his sunnah after he was appointed to prophet, beside some sunnahs made and carried out at specified time after bearing the Prophet.

One opinion of Adam Smith "the theory of invivisble hand" in economic activity every individual has the full authority of his property and free use of economic resources in ways that he likes, disregarding the interests of the general public. This shows that capitalism has the right to have a peribadi an unlimited of the means of production, which is the driving force personal profit. Islam is essentially bringing the teachings to human life that comes the Koran and Hadith. Economic activity in the view of Islam is the guidance of life, in addition it is also a suggestion that has a dimension of worship. Wealth (material wealth) is trustworthy, thus the mandate that God bestowed it must be used together, not to suck other people or enslave other people. Islam allows every person to own property in person, but as it also enjoins on his property was to be used collectively (together), alms or spend a portion of such property in Allah. Economic activity in the view of Islam is not only material but more than that - "material plus" -. Islam has always stressed that every person living in a lawful manner. Islam also does not prohibit untukmelakukan economic activity, but Islam provides guidance and guidance in the form of Islamic values.
