Multiple solutions test - part II: Evidence on construct and predictive validity
Authors: Zivanovic Marko , Bjekic Jovana , Opacic Goran
Published: February 2018

In this study, we complement data on Multiple solutions test (MST) by examining its construct and predictive validity. Unlike conventional matrices where a single solution is required, MST sets three types of problems before the participants, requiring them to solve matrices for the best, the second-best, and the least accurate solution. A total sample of 235 individuals (age M = 22.65, SD = 3.33, 199 females) participated in the study. Construct validity of each task within MST was tested in relation to the KOG9 battery of intellectual abilities (N = 156), while predictive value of individual tasks and full-scale performance was tested in relation to scholastic achievement measured by GPA (N = 235). The results have shown high between-task correlations, but also pointed to the specificities of each of them. Additionally, differential difficulties among the tasks were found with the least accurate task being the most difficult, followed by the second-best, and the best one. The test showed satisfactory convergent validity in relation to Gf/Gv test markers within KOG9 battery. Furthermore, MST has shown predictive validity, along with the incremental value of alternative tasks above the standard one (when the scholastic achievem ent was taken as a criterion), as well as incremental validity in predicting GPA above the KOG9 battery. In general, MST has shown to be a valid instrument for an intelligence assess ment, and its alternative tasks have a potential to be a useful addition to standard matrices with one type of solution.
Motivation for the teaching profession: Assessing psychometric properties and factorial validity of the orientation for teaching survey on in-service teachers
Authors: Simic Natasa , Puric Danka , Stancic Milan
Published: February 2018

Previous studies that used the Orientation for Teaching Survey (OTS), assessing motivation for the teaching profession, yielded inconsistent results regarding the OTS?s factorial structure. Since these studies focused on pre-service teachers with limited teaching experience, our main goal was to assess the psychometric properties and factorial validity of the OTS on in-service teachers. An additional goal was to compare the motivation of male and female teachers, and teachers working in primary and secondary schools. The OTS was administered to 384 teachers in Serbia. After confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated that the six-factor model proposed by the authors of the OTS did not fit the data well, an exploratory factor analysis was conducted, and a two-factor solution was accepted (Extrinsic-Intrinsic model). Women and primary school teachers scored higher on Intrinsic motivation. Results point to the need for further exploration of differences in the motivation of pre- and in-service teachers and changes in teacher motivation over time.
Loudness, but not shot power, influences simple reaction times to soccer penalty sounds
Authors: Sors Fabrizio , Prpic Valter , Santoro Ilaria , Galmonte Alessandra , Agostini Tiziano , Murgia Mauro
Published: February 2018

Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate how ecological sport sounds (i.e., foot-ball impacts of soccer penalty kicks) affect simple reaction times. Design: Three within-subjects, simple reaction time experiments were carried out; they differed among each other for the manipulations performed on the stimuli. Method: In Experiment 1, the loudness of the stimuli was manipulated; instead, in Experiment 2 and 3 shot power was manipulated, using as stimuli impacts of shots with different speeds. Results: The results highlighted an inverse relation between stimuli loudness and reaction times; instead, the natural differences among shots with different power were not sufficient to influence reaction times. Conclusions: Sounds associated to different shot power seem to differ in parameters which are not actually relevant for simple reaction times. Future studies should further investigate on similar issues, better clarifying whether the properties of ecological sounds can naturally influence reaction times.
The curricula revision in the context of education for sustainable development: From the perspective of two primary school subjects’ curricula
Authors: Veinovic Zorica
Published: February 2018

This paper looks at the goals and objectives of education for sustainable
development (ESD), including the competencies and value systems which can and
should be developed in children in first cycle of primary education, and
analyses the factors underlying this development. By using the Science and
Social Studies teaching curriculum as an example, we pointed at the reasons
for and possible directions of the curricula revision in the context of ESD.
The method of theoretical analysis was applied in examining the curricula in
terms of their topicality, preciseness and systematic approach as important
prerequisites for a successful integration of the goals and content of ESD.
The results of the research highlight the following problem areas: (1)
significant, though selective representation, (2) lack of preciseness, (3)
insufficient horizontal and vertical inter-connectedness of the key elements
of this educational concept across all segments of the analysed curricula, as
well as insufficient focus of the curricula on the development of the
competencies and value systems which this concept encompasses. The paper
proposes feasible steps in implementation of the ESD goals that could be
taken in curricula revision, particularly in case of the World Around Us and
Science and Social Studies subjects, taught in first cycle of primary
education in the Republic of Serbia.
The perspective of pre-school teachers and parents on the development of initiative, cooperation and creativity at preschool age
Authors: Polovina Nada , Vesic Dragan
Published: February 2018

The starting point of the paper is a conceptual model which unites the
concepts of initiative, cooperation and creativity (the ICC model) in the
context of the postmodern visions of the desirable changes in educational
practice at preschool institutions. Considering the immediate relevance of
the opinion of preschool teachers and parents for the affirmation and support
of the changes in educational practice, we examined their beliefs and
assessments of the meaning, significance and possible personal contribution
to the development of initiative, readiness for cooperation and creative
behaviour in children. Preschool teachers (N=86) and parents (N=108) of the
children who attend the preschool facilities of Belgrade municipality filled
in the questionnaire containing open-ended and close-ended questions. The
obtained data were analysed both quantitatively and qualitatively. Research
results indicate that preschool teachers and parents hold the widely accepted
traditional notions of indicative aspects of initiative, cooperation and
creativity. Preschool teachers ascribe the greatest developmental
significance to the development of cooperation among children, which is
assessed as a field in which they can provide the greatest personal
contribution. This is an important difference compared to parents, who
ascribe greater developmental significance to developing initiative in
children. A slightly larger number of parents than preschool teachers
assessed as significant the balanced development and support to initiative,
readiness for cooperation and creative behaviour. The concluding part of the
paper discusses the implications of the match/mismatch between the
conceptualisations of the ICC model and the beliefs of preschool teachers and
parents, as well as the potential of the ICC model to enhance the quality of
practice in preschool education.

Tacite et le “discours idéologique” sur le principat. Histoire et philosophie dans rélaboration de la pensée politique de Tacite
Authors: Kivuila-Kiaku José Mambwini
Published: February 2018

Os escritos históricos de Tácito consistem, sem dúvida numa profunda reflexão dramática sobre a sucessão dos imperadores. Criticando-lhes a personalidade e as ações políticas, o historiador transformou, por assim dizer, sua obra histórica num verdadeiro discurso ideológico no qual ele se entrega, por meio dos relatos, a uma profunda reflexão sobre o principado como regime. Apesar de seu caráter tirânico, Tácito considera o Principado como uma necessitas para o bem estar e a grandeza do Império. Daí seu desejo de vê-lo conduzido por um único homem, o princeps, mesmo que ele seja um mau dirigente. E porque o príncipe é a garantia constitucional da unidade do Império, Tácito exorta os senadores a adotar um tipo de comportamento que lhes permitirá evitar tanto os excessos ligados á adulatio como os que são acarretados por uma oposição radical e estéril em relação ao regime. É o que ele chama de “obsequium”. A presença desse discurso em sua obra histórica, discurso que situa a consciência humana no centro do devir histórico e que se funda na personalidade individual do príncipe, é uma prova evidente de que, salvo seu cuidado histórico, Tácito desejava exprimir-se sobre o Principado; para ele essa era uma forma intelectual de tomar parte nos debates filosóficos da época, orientados para a natureza do regime fundado por Augusto, regime dominado por um duplo problema, a saber: o da libertas de ação para os indivíduos, de um lado, e o do papel do Senado, de outro.

A alteridade indígena no poema épico de Anchieta
Authors: Bortolanza João
Published: February 2018

No poema épico De Gestis Mendi de Saa, o Padre José de Anchieta considera os habitantes nativos do Brasil, as Brasilles gentes, como barbara gens, além de superba, crudelis, effrenis, atrox, indómita, dira e inhumana, entre outros muitos qualificativos, como justificativa para a ação catequética dos Jesuítas e para a dominação colonizadora do Governador Geral Mem de Sá. No espírito das Cruzadas, a Contra-Reforma opõe dois campos: de um lado, os católicos e civilizados europeus; de outro, os pagãos e rudes brasilíndios. Já na proposição, o poeta deixa claro seu intento: (Rex Christe), tua maxima facta / aggrediar versu memorare, ingentibus ausis: magna quíbus nuper tua mittere lumina virtus/inter barberiem coepit Brasillibus oris (v. 111-114) Herói divino, Cristo Rei, age através do herói humano - magnanimum heroem Mendum (v. 164) - cujos grandes feitos consistem em eruere e Stygio Brasilles cárcere mentes (v. 177). Os costumes exóticos dos indígenas, suas festas e danças, seus sacerdotes, crenças e ritos, seu modus vivendi, seu próprio habitat passam a formar um cenário, não apenas “bárbaro”, mas “diabólico e infernal”. Será essa demonização do índio e de seus costumes o cenário dessa primeira grande epopéia das Américas (1563), com 3135 versos vazados em Latim Clássico pelo grande Humanista Anchieta.

En este artículo se describen e ilustran tres especies nuevas de Lindsaea Dryand. ex Sm. para Suramérica: L. falcatosora A. Rojas, L. nana A. Rojas y L. trapezoidalis A. Rojas. La primera especie difiere de L. pleioptera Kramer por sus pinnas falcadas (en frondas 1-pinnadas) o pínnulas (en frondas 2-pinnadas), con soro falcado restringido a 2/3 basales, o ausente en 1/3 apical donde la lámina es dentada. La segunda especie difiere de L. falcata Dryand. por frondas más pequeñas (4.5–8 × 1.7–2.6 cm vs. 10–25 × 4–7.5 cm), pinnas perpendiculares a ligeramente ascendentes (vs. falcadas) y segmento apical subconforme (vs. conforme), deltado (vs. hastado). La tercera especie difiere de L. taeniata Kramer por sus estípites and raquises angulados (vs. teretes) y pínnulas proporcionalmente más cortas (2-3.5 veces más largas que anchas vs. al menos 5 veces más largas que anchas). También tres variedas son combinadas como especies.

Published: February 2018

Fase gametofítica de las tres variedades de Argyrochosma nivea (Pteridaceae). La finalidad de este trabajo es describir características de la fase gametofítica de Argyroschoma nivea con el objeto de caracterizar esta fase del ciclo de vida y aportar evidencias a las relaciones entre las tres variedades de la especie (var. flava, var. nivea, y var. tenera). Para ello se consideraron cantidad de esporas por esporangio, tamaño de las esporas y se obtuvieron los gametofitos mediante cultivos en medios estériles. Se realizaron observaciones mediante microscopía de luz y electrónica de barrido. Se encontró que las tres variedades presentan 32 esporas por esporangio, comparten idéntico patrón de germinación, desarrollan gametofitos cordiformes asimétricos, y su reproducción es apogámica, de tipo obligada en las var. nivea y tenera. Los esporofitos de la var. flava desarrollan tricomas secretores de farina de color blanco sobre toda la superficie.
Novedades en Moranopteris (Polypodiaceae) para el Netrópico
Authors: Rojas Alvarado Alexander Francisco
Published: February 2018

Estudios en la familia Polypodiaceae para la flora Pteridophyta de Costa Rica ha permitido encontrar una especie nueva de los Tepúes y Mesetas en Colombia y Venezuela: Moranopteris steyermarkii A. Rojas. Se ha encontrado también que Moranopteris truncicola (Klotzsch) R.Y. Hirai & J. Prado está conformado por dos especies, por lo que se combina a Moranopteris andina (Hook.) A. Rojas como especie válida. Finalmente, Micropolypodium setulosum no fue combinado a Moranopteris, probablemente debido a los comentarios realizados por Moran en Flora Mesoamericana, sobre su posible relación con M. nanum; sin embargo, debido a la observación de un isotipo en el herbario US, se pudo determinar que la especie es válida y está más relacionada a Moranopteris truncicola. Lo anterior definió como objetivo de esta investigación la resolución taxonómica del grupo.
Políticas públicas para los municipios más pobres de México
Authors: Aguilar-Estrada Alma Esther , Caamal-Cahuicho Ignacio , Portillo-Vázquez Marcos
Published: February 2018

Objetivo: proponer una tipología que permita distinguir intensidades de pobreza entre los municipios más pobres del país y, a partir de ésta, sugerir políticas públicas diferenciadas. Metodología: a partir de estadísticas oficiales, se aplican métodos estadísticos multivariados para formar conglomerados y definir propuestas de política pública. Resultados: en siete de cada diez municipios, que representan el 24% de la población, la pobreza es generalizada, pero al agruparlos en cuatro conglomerados se observan distintas prioridades y potencialidades. Limitaciones: las estadísticas municipales disponibles de pobreza son del año 2010. Conclusiones: la pobreza se debe agrupar, priorizar y combatir con una estrategia mixta de universalización y focalización. Cada conglomerado demanda una manera distinta de combinar o elegir entre inversión pública, transferencias condicionadas y fomento al empleo rural agrícola y no agrícola.
Granjas avícolas y autosuficiencia de maíz y soya: caso Tungurahua-Ecuador
Authors: Pomboza-Tamaquiza Pablo , Guerrero-López Ricardo , Guevara-Freire Deysi , Rivera Verónica
Published: February 2018

Objetivo: caracterizar las granjas avícolas y la autosuficiencia de maíz y soya, en Tungurahua-Ecuador. Metodología: se realizaron entrevistas a noventa avicultores seleccionados mediante muestreo no probabilístico; se utilizó estadísticas de producción y exportaciones reportadas por la Asociación de Fabricantes de Balanceados (AFABA) y el Ministerio de Agricultura, Ganadería, Acuacultura y Pesca (MAGAP), y se calcularon índices de Tasa Media de Variación Acumulada y autosuficiencia y dependencia alimentaria. Resultados: en Tungurahua el 78% de avicultores se dedican a la crianza de aves de postura y el 62% tienen instalaciones semiautomatizadas. El 100% de maíz y soya utilizado por la avicultura de Tungurahua, procede de otras provincias e importaciones internacionales. Entre el 2007 y 2016, el maíz registró un índice de autosuficiencia promedio anual de 0.9, mientras que la soya registró 0.08. Limitaciones: la información estadística de producción nacional e importaciones de granos se encontró dispersa. Conclusiones: los resultados indican la presencia de diversos tipos de sistemas de producción avícola. Éstos, según el nivel tecnológico, van desde los artesanales hasta los automatizados. Así mismo, la producción nacional alcanza a cubrir con dificultad la demanda nacional del sector avícola, no así la soya nacional que cubre una mínima parte. Con base en éstos resultados se sugiere mantener la política de sustitución de importaciones de maíz amarillo y ampliar a la soya.

Knowledge-Sharing Strategies among Library Staff at Selected University Libraries
Authors: Muchaonyerwa Ndakasharwa , Mutula Stephene
Published: February 2018

This article presents an investigation on knowledge-sharing strategies among library staff at selected university libraries in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The study dealt with the following research questions: What factors affect knowledge sharing among library staff? What type of knowledge is shared among staff? What channels of communication are preferred for knowledge sharing? What capacity-building strategies are available for knowledge sharing among library staff? What policies, if any, are available to promote knowledge sharing? How can knowledge sharing be improved among library staff? The study was underpinned by the post-positivist paradigm and used the Nonaka and Takeuchi SECI model of knowledge creation as the theoretical lens. The study findings revealed that knowledge sharing at university libraries in KwaZulu-Natal was limited owing to a number of factors such as the lack of a knowledge-sharing culture, trust, and support from top management, hierarchical organisational structures, and the absence of knowledge-sharing policies. The study thus concludes that though library staff were acquiring both tacit and explicit knowledge through conferences and seminars and on-the-job training, the sharing of such knowledge was limited. It was recommended that continuous capacity-building and mentorship programmes that focus on gaps in succession planning within university libraries in South Africa be put in place.
"When you die, you will live": Dystopia , Posthumanism and Zombies in the Mall Rats Series by Lily Herne
Authors: Erasmus Margeaux Bernadette
Published: February 2018

Zombies have become prominent figures in popular culture in the twenty-first century. Books, movies and series are all fascinated with the walking dead and the possible meanings of the figure. International portrayals of zombies raise concerns about a lack of self-control; by contrast, this paper argues that Lily Herne's Mall Rats series, which is about a zombie outbreak in South Africa, explores posthumanist associations with the dead. The philosophical approach of posthumanism can be used to question the ideas and conceptualisation of human identity. While humanism places humans at the centre of the universe, both in control of and separate from other living, animal and non-human beings, posthumanism acknowledges that this is only a myth. According to posthuman thought, human subjectivity is created through a connection to animal and non-human beings; it is an assemblage that co-evolves with all living beings on the planet. Thus, posthumanism can be used to study the representations of human identity that have been used to situate the human above other life forms. Herne depicts this posthuman subjectivity through her South African zombies categorised as Rotters and Guardians whose thoughts and emotions are connected with each other, animals and humans. It is this connection to all things that Herne proposes will end any form of discrimination. As it becomes more and more uncomfortable for the reader to side with zombie slayers, the posthumanist objective is realised as traditional beliefs that humans are somehow superior and more conscious than other beings on Earth come into question.
Saints or Sinners: Public Evaluations of Post-Apartheid South African Presidents
Authors: Felton Jamy
Published: February 2018

This study investigates the nature of public evaluations of the presidents of post-apartheid South Africa. It consists of multivariate analyses which tests competing theories. Using IDASA (Institute for Democracy in South Africa) and Afrobarometer data from 1997, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2011 and 2015, the article tests identity, performance evaluation and cognitive awareness theories to determine which factors predict approval levels of the president. Findings indicate that South Africans are more likely to make use of performance evaluation when ascribing support than to use their cognitive awareness of current affairs. There is an indication that South Africans who share an identity with the president are more likely to approve of the president -- especially in recent years. However, South Africans are rational people who are more likely to base their approval of the president on how the government performs and how they perceive the economy.

Published: February 2018

Throughout history, fashion and architecture have repeated each other in terms of form and appearance. It seems quite natural that they share not only their initial function, which is to provide shelter and protect human; but also show skills in creating space and volume beyond the two-dimensional plates and materials. In recent years, the relationship between clothing design and architecture has become more significant. Computer tools and software have changed the borders of designing each one. Buildings are more fluid and clothes are more architectural. The architectural alphabet in fashion from one hand, and on the other hand the fashion ideas and methods used in architecture as well as experiencing similar themes in both domains are among the features of these arts. The exploitation of such common points among the two areas challenges the conventional ideas and pre-defined concepts of design, putting forward new solutions and experiences for designers. In this research, some of these common ideas have been studied and how these ideas are linked within both of these domains. The method of this research is descriptive and analytical; and data are collected from documents and research materials including books, articles, photos and electronic resources. This research seeks the common ideas in architecture and fashion and their mutual interaction with each other and provides some examples in both arts. The results of this research show that architecture has an effective role in shaping fashion and the attitude to the clothing design.

Tüketicilerin tüketim tarzları, hedonik ve faydacı
tüketim ile moda liderliği davranışları arasındaki ilişkileri belirlemeye
yönelik olan bu araştırma, ilişkisel ve betimsel araştırma modelinde kurgulanmıştır.
Bu çerçevede tüketim tarzı olarak yaygın bir şekilde ele alınan hedonik ve
faydacı tüketim ile moda liderliğini açıklayan moda yenilikçiliği ve moda fikir
liderliği arasındaki ilişkiyi ve tüketicilerin ele alınan değişkenler bazında
ortak özelliklerinin açıklanmasına yönelik kümelerin hangi özelliklere sahip
olduğu belirlenmeye çalışılmaktadır. Araştırmanın örneklemini 18 yaşından büyük
tüketiciler oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın örneklemi 450 birimden oluşmakta ve bu
örneklem büyüklüğü güven aralığı formülüne göre belirlenmiştir. Araştırmanın
veri toplama tekniği yapılandırılmış ankettir. Araştırma katılımcılarına
kolayda örnekleme yöntemine göre ulaşılmıştır. Araştırma verileri karşılıklı
görüşme şeklinde gönüllü katılımcılardan anketörler aracılığıyla elde edilmiştir.
 Elde edilen veriler tanımlayıcı ve
yorumlayıcı çok değişkenli istatistiksel analiz teknikleriyle analiz
edilmiştir. Araştırma hipotezlerinin test edilmesinde yapısal eşitlik
modelinden yararlanılmıştır. Ayrıca birimlerin doğal küme yapıları k-means
kümeleme analiziyle test edilmiştir. Analizler sonucunda, hedonik tüketimin
moda ürün satın almayı, modayı takip etmeyi ve moda fikir liderliğini
etkilediği belirlenmiştir. Faydacı tüketimin ise, moda ürün satın almayı ve
modayı takip etmeyi etkilemediği; moda fikir liderliğini etkilediği belirlenmiştir.
K-means kümeleme analizi sonucunda ise, üç ayrı küme yapısı olduğu
belirlenmiştir.

El objetivo del artículo es contrastar los conocimientos prácticos que poseen mujeres y hombres sobre la calidad y uso de maíz y frijol, con los conocimientos teóricos para evaluar la calidad de estos granos en laboratorio. Se efectuaron 27 entrevistas semiestructuradas y dos talleres participativos, en la lengua materna ‘triqui’, en Santo Domingo del estado, región ‘triqui alta, Oaxaca. Se evaluó el peso hectolítrico (PH) e índice de flotación (IF) en 20 colectas de maíz. En frijol se evaluó el tiempo de cocción (TC), capacidad de absorción de agua durante el remojo (CAA) y porcentaje de sólidos en el caldo de cocción (PSC) en 15 accesiones. Los resultados se analizaron con un diseño completamente al azar, prueba de comparación de medias tukey y correlaciones. Los/as entrevistados/as indicaron preferencia por el maíz blanco, con granos duros (IF= 0-12) e intermedios (IF= 38-62), seguido del azul, pinto, amarillo, el rojo fue de menor preferencia. Todos los maíces pigmentados fueron de grano duro (IF= 13-37). El PH estuvo entre 74-81 kg hl-1. En frijol se identificaron las especies Phaseolus vulgaris L. (común) y Phaseolus coccineus L. (ayocote), el de mayor tradición y preferencia para el consumo fue el ‘ejote seco’ (ayocote) que requiere 317 min para su cocción. El conocimiento práctico de hombres y mujeres de Santo Domingo del Estado sobre la calidad del maíz y frijol, mostró asociación con las tendencias teóricas de calidad en maíz; en el frijol se mostró asociación con el tiempo de cocción.

En 2014 se cultivaron en invernadero dos formas de frijol común (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), una silvestre y otra domesticada, ambas de hábito de crecimiento indeterminado tipo IV, trepador. El cultivo se realizó en hidroponía permitiendo la máxima expresión de su potencial genético. La forma silvestre y la domesticada de P. vulgaris son importante reservorio de genes para el fitomejoramiento. El objetivo fue realizar una comparación mutua de caracteres fenológicos, morfológicos y de los componentes del rendimiento, así como de algunas variables fisiológicas como duración del área foliar, tasa de asimilación neta, índice de llenado de la vaina e índice de cosecha. La forma silvestre presenta un ciclo de cultivo más largo que la domesticada y un mayor número de vainas desde la etapa de llenado de la vaina hasta la de madurez de cosecha y en esta última un mayor número de semillas por planta, aunque las semillas de un menor tamaño y peso individual; asimismo, el porcentaje de germinación fue similar en ambas formas sin necesidad de escarificar la semilla. En la forma silvestre, la producción total de materia seca por planta y la duración del área foliar son mayores, esta última característica debido a que su follaje permanece funcional más tiempo en comparación con la domesticada. La tasa de asimilación neta es mayor en la domesticada, lo cual indica su precocidad. El índice de cosecha tradicional y modificado (incluyendo y excluyendo la raíz en ambos casos) es mayor en la forma domesticada debido a la selección bajo domesticación.
