Published: April 2018

The learning process of English subject is designed in line with the way English is used in society in everyday life. Teaching learning activity and assessment are integrated process. It means that assessment executed while learning activity is going on. Based on the investigation on school curriculum it is that learning activity and assessment were designed as separate components and in formal way. The task of assessment does not depict the real word. Besides, teachersâ€™ ability in designing assessment is various that will influence quality of output. Based on this situation it is needed to develop a model of assessment on English subject that could be used as a reference for teacher and stakeholders when developing school curriculum. Language is a tool for communication orally and written. Communication competence or discourse competence is a competence to communicate orally and written as well in certain communication event. Communicative competence needs a set of competencies i.e. actional competence, linguistic competence, discourse competence, sociocultural competence, and strategic competence. These competencies could not be separated and support each other which are realized through four language skills, i.e. listening, speaking, reading, and writing.Teachers are encourage to teach language using the four language skills in an integrated manner.Â ABSTRAKÂ Proses pembelajaran bahasa Inggris dikemas untuk mengembangkan kemampuan peserta didik menggunakan bahasa Inggris dalam kehidupan sehari-hari.

In the past decade, the general method for measuring the performance of research and scientific publications in a Study Program at a Higher Education is by the Rough Value (Nilai Kasar, NK) calculated per three years. This value is derived from the accreditation instrument. In fact, the calculation of the performance of research and scientific publications with NK cannot represent an annual performance. Therefore, this paper presents a new method for calculating research and scientific publications performance with an index (IP-PS and IPub-PS), which is calculated annually. An example of quality measurement practice in the Automotive Diploma Program of Universitas Muhammadiyah Magelang. As a result, calculations with IP-PS and IPub-PS are more likely to present real conditions per year than using NK.

With ever-increasing pressure to optimize product quality, to reduce cost and to safely increase production output from existing assets, all combined with regular changes in terms of feedstock and operational targets, process monitoring with traditional instruments reaches its limits.
One promising answer to these challenges is in-line, real time process analysis with spectroscopic instruments, and above all Fourier-Transform Near Infrared spectroscopy (FT-NIR). Its potential to afford decreased batch cycle times, higher yields, reduced rework and minimized batch variance
is presented and application examples in the field of fine chemicals are given. We demonstrate that FT-NIR can be an efficient tool for improved process monitoring and optimization, effective process design and advanced process control.
Lilith: Yahudi Mitolojisinde Ana Tanrıça'nın Düşüş ve Şeytana Dönüşüm Serüveni
Authors: ÇINAR Aynur
Published: April 2018

Lilith
kelimesinin, Sümer kökenli olan ve “hava, rüzgâr” anlamına gelen líl’den
türediği, bu dilden de Akkadçaya lilītu olarak geçtiği kabul edilir. Lilith
miti, lilitu, Lamaştu ve lilith olarak Mezopotamya’dan Suriye-Filistin
bölgesine kadar tüm Levant’a yayılmıştır. Babil’de rüzgârın yıkıcılığına ve
şehvete hükmeden dişil bir ruh hatta Fırtına Tanrıçası olan lilītu; ataerkil
zihniyetin gittikçe yerleşmesiyle, cazibesiyle geceleri erkekleri tuzağa
düşüren ve bebekleri öldüren şeytani bir karaktere dönüşmüştür. Bu
özellikleriyle Lilith Yahudi mitolojisine geçmiş ve kısır ve seksualiteye sahip
en büyük dişi şeytan olarak kötülüğün zirvesine oturmuştur. Ayrıca Lilith’e
Yeşaya 34:14’deki atıf sebebiyle o, Yahudi şeytan araştırmalarında kilit isim
olmuştur. Bu sebeple Yahudi tarih ve literatüründe başta Âdem’in Havva’dan
önceki ilk eşi olmak üzere İsmâil’in torunu Naama ve Saba Melikesi gibi pek çok
kötü kadınla özdeşleştirilmiş ve Eril Tek Tanrı karşısındaki en büyük dişi
düşman olarak kabul edilmiştir. Bu çalışmada Lilith’in etimolojisinden ve
mitolojideki özelliklerinden yola çıkarak, Yahudi mitolojisi ve mistisizminde şeytani
Lilith’in genel nitelikleri ortaya konulmuş ve Yahudiliğin “kötülük” profili
yakalanmaya çalışılmıştır.
Vakf-ı Câizin Mahiyeti - Secâvendî’nin Eseri ve İlgili Ayetlerin Manası Çerçevesinde-
Authors: Karagöz Mustafa
Published: April 2018

Secâvendî İlelü’l-Vukûf
adlı eserinde vakfı altı kategoriye ayırmıştır. Eserinin giriş kısmında bu altı
kategorinin tanımını yapmış, tanımları örneklerle açıklamış ve bu kategoriler
için eserinde hangi rumuzları kullanacağını belirtmiştir.Secâvendî’nin yaptığı
tasnifte yer alan kategorilerden birisi de “vakf-ı câiz” olarak adlandırdığı vakf
çeşididir. Müellif bu kategori için “ج” harfini rumuz olarak kullanacağını belirtmiştir. Secâvendî
vakf-ı caizi “Hem vakf yapmayı hem de geçiş yapmayı gerekli/mümkün kılan
sebepler bulunduğu için vakf yaparak durmanın da vakf yapmadan geçmenin de caiz
olduğu vakf” şeklinde tanımlamıştır.Özellikle günümüzde
konuyla ilgili bazı eserlerde ise vakf-ı caiz, “vakfın ve vaslın caiz olmasıyla
birlikte vakf yapmanın daha evla olduğu” yer olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Yapılan
tanımların etkisiyle olsa gerek, vakf-ı caiz genelde böyle bilinmektedir. Oysa
“vakfın ve vaslın caiz olmasıyla birlikte vakf yapmanın daha evla olduğu”
şeklindeki tanım, Secâvendî’nin terminolojisiyle, eserinin muhtevasındaki
kullanımıyla ve ilgili ayetlerin tercihe şayan olan manasıyla birebir
örtüşmemektedir. İlaveten, “vakf yapmanın daha evla olduğu” şeklindeki tanıma
göre hareket edilip haddizatında vaslın evla olduğu ayetlerde vakf yapıldığı
takdirde, ilgili ayetlerin mana bütünlüğünün bozulma riski gündeme gelecek ya
da tercihe şayan manası gözden kaçmış olacaktır. Bu durum vakf-ı câiz
kategorisinin mahiyetinin; Secâvendî’nin tanım ve kullanımının yanı sıra,
ayetlerin manasına uygun olarak tespit edilmesini gerektirmektedir. Buradan
hareketle kaleme alınan bu makalede, Secâvendî’nin vakf-ı caiz kategorisinin
mahiyetinin ortaya konulması amaçlanmaktadır.

AGGREGATE SIZE MEASURES OF MERGER MARKET: EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FROM POLAND, 2002-2013
Authors: Buczek Aleksander Jerzy
Published: April 2018

Merger and acquisition activity is very important economic phenomenon often leading to a permanent organizational changes of single industries or even entire economies. Theoretical part of this article is an attempt to define aggregate size measures which allow gaining quantitative view on its dimensions. Four measures are proposed to assess the size of a merger and acquisition market, namely: announced, backlog, completed and withdrawn volumes. Relationship between these measures is introduced. Their accuracy is dependent on assumed transaction and registration announcement definitions. Limitations of the research based on the commercial vendors’ datasets (for example Thomson Reuters) are presented. In order to overcome these limitations, alternative data collection methodology for merger transactions is derived from legal consolidation procedure defined in The Code of Commercial Partnerships and Companies. This approach allows collecting the information about 3870 merger transactions which have taken place in the period between 1st January 2002 and 31st December 2013 in Poland. Announced, backlog and completed volumes are calculated quarterly. All these quantitative measure exhibit strong seasonality. Besides, their stable growth on Polish market was observed from 2002 till 2011. After 2011 this trend has reverted, but rebound of the backlog volume in the second quarter of 2013 suggests that at least completed volume levels should be higher in the upcoming quarters.

Analiza przemian gospodarczych w krajach Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej należących do Unii Europejskiej w latach 2003–2014
Authors: Redo Magdalena Maria
Published: April 2018

Economic changes in the Eastern Bloc countries which currently belong to the European Union can be characterized as incredibly strong and important. In the process of catching up with the general development some problems have been reduced (i.e., these countries have reduced unemployment, inflation and the cost of raised capital, increased the level of foreign exchange reserves and relative productivity as measured by the size of GDP per capita), other issues started to increase – most of these economies have a high and/or increasing public and external debt, which increases investment risk and reduces the potential for development; it is also inhibited by the relatively high level of public revenue and expenditure. In many of them economic growth is too low and unstable, in order to reduce noticeably in the near future the gap in the level of income per capita to the Western economies, or to mitigate the burden and cost of financing economic development with debt; decreasing differences in price levels reduces the competitiveness of those countries). The main aim of the present paper is to show the changes of the period 2003-2014 in major economic areas of these countries and also to point out the potential sources of economic issues in the future. For this purpose the method of inductive reasoning based on comparative analysis of selected economic indicators was used

Aim: The paper seeks to supplement the theory of HR business partnering by presenting the concept of the role of HR business partner in project-oriented organizations. To this end, the intermediate stages of the study encompass the discussion how the role of HR department as a business partner is being formulated against other roles, and the description of the current role of HR experts in the organizationsanalyzed.Design / Research methods: The research process employed the literature research and author’s own study carried out over 2014-2015 in project-oriented organizations.Conclusions / findings: The role of business partner is present in 10% of the examined enterprises, with the source of capital and the entity size being of minor importance. Projects play a key role in the development of contemporary undertakings. Moreover, the primary role in terms of the implementation of any organizational activities is exercised by people. Thus, the opportunity emerges to implement and modify the concept of HR business partnering. This will lead to a greater professionalization of staffing, which will ultimately affect positively the implementation of strategy of the organizations under discussion.Originality / value of the article: The publications on project management as well as those concerned with human resources management have so far not addressed the issue of the development of the HR business partner role in the organizations under discussion. The considerations, of both theoretical and practical nature, contribute to the theory of management, being much relevant owing to the ever growing popularity of the concept of management through projects.Implications of the research: project management, project-oriented organization, HR department, HR business partner

Authors: Cipolla Carla Martins , Serpa Bibiana De Oliveira , Afonso Rita
Published: April 2018

How to encourage university-community engagement with local communities and disadvantaged groups?  This is one of the main questions of the project LASIN – Latin American Social Innovation Network. Specifically, one of the main activities of LASIN is to design and run what are called SISU – Social Innovation Support Units, i.e., units dedicated to support the promotion of social innovation processes between university community members and external actors. Universities are privileged contexts for the experimentation of creative projects in social innovation if the focus is placed on fostering the interaction between internal and external actors, which can be significantly empowered by design practices. The specific objective of this paper is to describe a model for the SISU operation together with principles based on the design approach to social innovation. The recognition of the importance of the design in the promotion of social innovation has been particularly highlighted through the activities of DESIS (Design for Social Innovation Network).

Desde octubre de 2010 en México se presentó una temporada de sequía, acentuándose en el verano de 2011. En la temporada de lluvia 2012 se implementó un programa de inducción de lluvia para mitigar los efectos de la sequía (21 de junio al 10 de septiembre). El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la aplicación de yoduro de plata para inducir un incremento en la cantidad de lluvia. El trabajo se desarrolló en los estados de Zacatecas y Aguascalientes, México, para lo cual se realizaron 46 vuelos. Como medio de verificación de la precipitación se utilizaron estaciones climáticas automáticas. El promedio de lluvia en 24 h en todas las fechas de inducción fue de 11.9 mm y el promedio en el tiempo de inducción fue 3.5 mm (29.4%, p< 0.05). La suma de la precipitación en 24 h en todas las fechas fue de 81.0 mm, mientras que en el periodo de inducción fue 26 mm (32.1%). La precipitación promedio histórica de 1961 a 2009 en la temporada de lluvia es de 249.7 mm, la registrada durante la temporada 2012 fue 213.1 mm, esta cantidad se encuentra dentro del rango de precipitación normal pero resultó menor al promedio, lo cual representa entre 10 y 50% debajo de lo normal en la mayor parte del área de estudio. Pese al programa de inducción de lluvia, la precipitación registrada durante la temporada no fue generalizada y resultó inferior a lo normal, lo cual indica que esta inducción artificial de lluvia, al menos para su uso en la agricultura, no tiene un impacto signif icativo en el aumento de la cantidad de precipitación.

El clima es determinante en el desarrollo de los ecosistemas y la vida en el planeta, cambios prolongados en sus componentes provocarán alteraciones en todos los seres vivos. En nuestro país la información referente a estudios sobre la vulnerabilidad de los ecosistemas frente al cambio climático es muy escasa, generalmente enfocada a especies muy particulares de plantas o animales. El presente trabajo tiene como propósito delimitar zonas de la república mexicana que sean sensibles al cambio climático. Para ello se realizó una zonificación bioclimática basada en la metodología de Holdridge, identificando las áreas que corresponden a las zonas de transición cálida y cálida - seca dentro de las zonas de vida. Se obtuvo que 29.61% de la superficie continental de la república mexicana se encuentra en zonas de transición, en las que incrementos de temperatura estipuladas en el escenario RCP2.6 para el periodo 2016 - 2035 del IPCC provocará cambios considerables en la clasificación bioclimática. Un incremento de temperatura de 0.3 °C provocará cambios en 17.25% del total de la superficie estimada en zonas de transición y de 34.65% si el incremento fuera de 0.7 °C, provocando que sus características climáticas las ubiquen en regiones latitudinales más cálidas y regiones de humedad más secas. La delimitación de zonas sensibles a las variaciones climáticas proporciona una valiosa información para investigaciones referentes a las capacidades de adaptación de los ecosistemas y los efectos que el cambio climático puede causar a gran escala.

El abuso de la comercialización de los recursos naturales y los productos turísticos menoscaba la credibilidad y la autenticidad de algunas propuestas de destinos turísticos rurales. Un planteamiento reciente conocido como turismo rural integrado (TRI), propone la integración entre los diversos actores que intervienen en esta actividad destacando la sustentabilidad como ventaja competitiva así como la inclusión de las economías locales y regionales. La presente investigación analizó el interés en involucrarse en actividades de TRI por parte de tres actores de la cadena social: habitantes de las comunidades de Ures, Baviácora y Aconchi, turistas potenciales y proveedores de servicios turísticos de Hermosillo, Sonora. Se desarrolló una investigación cuantitativa, descriptiva, explicativa y transversal múltiple dividida en tres etapas. Los resultados destacan la disposición de los habitantes de las comunidades para aprovechar los recursos de TRI y en interés en el desarrollo de actividades turísticas en cada uno de los destinos. La mayor parte de los proveedores de servicios turísticos estarían dispuestos a invertir conjuntamente con miembros de la comunidad, valorando aquellos proyectos que vinculan el patrimonio cultural con los recursos naturales. Por su parte, los turistas potenciales valoran el descanso, los recursos naturales y las experiencias rurales.

La integración requiere de una reeducación de los actores de esta cadena social respecto a su percepción del ocio y el disfrute de atractivos culturales y naturales.

Esta investigación aplico elementos de la investigación acción participativa en combinación con métodos de la investigación cuantitativa, para conocer el quehacer alfarero, identificar su problemática y emprender acciones de mejora en la actividad productiva de alfarería (comales rústicos), en San Felipe Cuapexco Puebla. Con el consenso entre participantes se llevo a cabo un proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje en diversas sesiones para apropiarse de técnicas de pegado de cromo al polióleo y pintura a mano en acrílico sobre comales rústicos. Durante este proceso se fortaleció la capacidad de trabajo grupal, la comunicación y ayuda entre los participantes. Los artesanos que producen todo el año y tienen mayor capacidad productiva fueron los más participativos. Se detectó que una alternativa para generar valor a los comales es a través de la pintura y decoración, para diversificar su uso hacia artículos decorativos-artesanales, ya que por ellos pueden llegar a pagar hasta cuatro veces más que su precio como comal rústico.

El lulo (Solanum quitoense [Lamarck.]) es una solanácea que produce un fruto de exquisito sabor y de propiedades nutracéuticas novedosas que le convierten en una especie de gran potencial para su establecimiento y aprovechamiento en México. Esta especie es originaria de la región andina de Colombia, Ecuador y Perú, países donde se concentra su producción y aprovechamiento. Debido a diversas limitantes tanto de orden técnico como comercial y organizacional, la producción de este cultivo no abastece el mercado regional en los países sudamericanos, y a su vez, en otros países como Estados Unidos se ha incrementado la importación de esta solanácea, lo que abre una importante ventana de posibilidad para que países como México desarrollen su propia tecnología tendiente a mejorar la producción y productividad de este fruto para su consumo interno y exportación. En esta revisión se analizan aspectos generales de la especie, incluyendo los principales descriptores botánicos, recursos genéticos, materiales mejorados, así como requerimientos ambientales y agronómicos para su producción sustentable. En el documento también se proponen algunas estrategias para la implementación de innovaciones en la cadena de valor como directrices para su aprovechamiento en México. Se concluye que el lulo es una especie con potencial y que es necesario desarrollar investigaciones en diferentes vertientes, tendientes a ofrecer los elementos necesarios que permitan el enriquecimiento del paisaje rural mexicano, en términos tanto de servicios ambientales como agronómicos y de agregación de valor.

La región denominada Costa de Chiapas ha sido afectada por algunos periodos de estiaje y por inundaciones, los cuales han causado serios daños económicos y sociales. Se ha considerado al proceso de deforestación como la principal causa de este hecho. Sin embargo, se debe tomar en cuenta la variación espacial y temporal de las variables hidroclimatológicas. Con este propósito se ha recolectado la información de lluvia, temperatura máxima y mínima de 51 estaciones climatológicas para el periodo 1960- 2010, así como los escurrimientos de 12 estaciones hidrométricas del periodo 1964 a 2005. El análisis de tendencia de las series de tiempo anuales (año agrícola) y estacionales (primavera-verano y otoño-invierno) de precipitación, temperatura máxima, temperatura mínima, evapotranspiración y escurrimientos, se realizó con la prueba estadística no paramétrica de Mann-Kendall. Se detectó que la mayor parte de la Costa de Chiapas presenta tendencias en las series.

La mosquita blanca (Bemisia tabaci) es una plaga que limita el desarrollo de un gran número de cultivos hortícolas por la succión de savia y transmisión de begomovirus. Con el objetivo de encontrar algunas fuentes de resistencia se evaluó la atracción de adultos y preferencia de oviposición de B. tabaci en genotipos regionales de C. annuum colectados en el sureste de México. Se observó significativamente (p= 0.006) menor atracción de adultos en el genotipo Maax ik (0.6 y 0 adultos cm2 a las 24 y 48 h de exposición) comparado con el genotipo comercial Jalapeño (8.2 y 4.2 adultos cm2 a las 24 y 48 h de exposición). De igual manera se registró que B. tabaci presentó significativamente (p= 0.048) menor preferencia de oviposición en el follaje del genotipo Maax ik (0.5 y 0.7 huevos cm2 a las 24 y 48 h de exposición) comparado con la preferencia al genotipo Jalapeño (12 y 16.5 huevos cm2 a las 24 y 48 h de exposición). El genotipo de chile regional Maax ik puede ser usado como fuente de resistencia a B. tabaci en programas de mejoramiento genético de C. annuum.
