Authors: ÇİMEN İsmail , BEKTAŞ Fatih , YÜCEL Cemil 
Published: May 2019

Öğretmenlerin performans değerlendirmesi birçok
bakımdan tartışılan bir konudur. Değerlendirmelerin kimler tarafından
yapılacağı ve ne amaçla kullanılacağı da bu tartışmalarda önemli bir alanı
kapsamaktadır. Türk eğitim sisteminde de öğretmenlerin performans
değerlendirmesinde farklı düzenlemeler gidilmiştir. Son olarak yapılan
düzenlemeyle birlikte öğretmenlerin değerlendirmesinde okul müdürlerine önemli
bir rol verilmiştir. Günümüzde okulun gelişimi ve dönüşümü için çalışması
gereken öğretimsel liderler olarak görülen okul müdürlerinin uygulamada
değerlendirmeleri nasıl yaptığının ve değerlendirmelerin öğretimsel
liderlikteki rolünün belirlenmesine ihtiyaç vardır. Buradan yola çıkarak bu
araştırmada Türk eğitim sisteminde okul müdürleri tarafından yapılan değerlendirmelerin
öğretimsel liderlik bağlamında incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada nitel
araştırma desenlerinden durum çalışması olarak tasarlanmıştır. Maksimum
çeşitlilik örnekleme yöntemi kullanılarak oluşturulan çalışma grubuna farklı
okul düzeylerinde ve sosyo-ekonomik çevrelerde görev yapan ve farklı
yöneticilik tecrübesine sahip olan okul müdürleri dâhil edilmiştir. Araştırmada elde edilen bulgular sonucunda
okul müdürleri tarafından yapılan değerlendirmelerin dış değerlendiriciler
tarafından yapılan değerlendirmelere nazaran genel anlamda daha olumlu
yanlarının olduğunu söylemek mümkündür. Okul müdürleri, bu sürecin
geliştirilmesi gereken birçok noktaya sahip olduğunu kabul etmekle birlikte
daha olumlu sonuçlar doğuracağını belirtmişlerdir. Öğretimsel liderlik
bağlamında ele alındığında ise okul müdürlerinin etkin rol aldığı değerlendirme
sürecinin birçok bakımdan uygun olacağı söylenebilir. Ancak sistemin
işleyişindeki kriterlerin somut olmaması, öğretmen ve yönetici arasındaki
gerilimin artması, farklı uzmanlık alanlarında değerlendirmenin yetersizliği
gibi sorunların giderilmesi değerlendirmelerin öğretimsel liderlikle daha fazla
bağdaşmasını sağlayabilir.

The aim of this study was to develop and implement curriculum of non-formal physical education in school and assess its effectiveness for health related physical fitness of 11-13 year old children. The research was conducted in two stages. In the first stage 51 11-13 year old children participated in a quasi-experiment for two years. Pupils were organized into E (experimental) and C (control) groups. Both groups shared the duration (1 hour) and frequency (twice a week) but were different in their education curriculum. In the second stage 72 pupils (groups A and B) attended in the research from the same schools. The curriculum of the group A was modified and differed from group E, group B - the same as group C. In both stages the focus groups performed four physical fitness tests and BMI was calculated. Group E girls’ indices of three tests and boys’ indices of all four tests were significantly (p<0.05) higher than young adolescents’ from group C. Group A girls’ flexibility and aerobic endurance as well as boys aerobic endurance were higher (p < 0.05) than pupils from group B. Results suggest that the individualized, diverse, 11‒13 years old children hobbies, needs, abilities, physical and functional powers answering non-formal curriculum, which expands knowledge and develops new skills and when various child-activating teaching methods and forms are used, positively influence their health related physical fitness.

TOWARDS EXTENDING THE ORIGINAL TECHNOLOGY ACCEPTANCE MODEL (TAM) FOR A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY ADOPTION
Authors: Sukackė Vilma 
Published: May 2019

Technology acceptance model (TAM) is arguably the most widely used intention theory that explains the individual’s acceptance of a certain technology. Since Davis introduced TAM in 1986, it has been applied and validated in a variety of disciplines, including educational sciences. However, scholars note that depending on a specific context, the original TAM needs to be extended, which has been done by introducing external variables and other theories. Despite the existent TAM2 and TAM3, numerous scholars still opt for the original TAM, extending it with the variables and theories that are relevant to the specific context of their study. The aim of the present paper is to provide an overview of validated TAM extensions, which might later help to further the understanding of educational technology acceptance, which is a prerequisite of its adoption. Since interdisciplinarity in various contexts is becoming more and more common, the overview presents TAM extensions that come from a number of different disciplines. The overview is based on 108 papers that were retrieved from the Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics) by searching for the keywords ‘extended Technology Acceptance Model’, ‘extended TAM’, and ‘TAM extension’.

TRENDS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTEGRATED MARKETING COMMUNICATION IN THE CONTEXT OF DIGITAL MARKETING
Authors: Bormane Santa 
Published: May 2019

Nowadays, in the context of digital marketing and social media development, with the advantages given by technologies and the vast possibilities of communication among consumers, businesses find the implementation of integrated marketing communication influenced by the Internet as a marketing communication environment where businesses are urged into a customer-centric approach by the consumers’ changing habits of receiving information. This results in an increased role of content marketing, relationship orientation, dialogue and network communication, management of multiple stakeholders etc., which envisages consumer involvement with a view to mitigating the consequences caused by the obstacles to marketing communication – loss of control over corporate communication and being adversely affected by invisible communication. Aim of the research was to study and assess integrated marketing communications in the context of digital marketing and its influence upon buyers’ buying decisions. The object of the research is integrated marketing communications. The subject of the research is the influence of integrated marketing communication upon buyers’ buying decisions. The research makes use of the results of studies conducted by the author in 2017 and 2018. There was a survey of leading marketing specialists of Latvian food retail chains and a survey of randomly selected buyers with a sample of 1,003 respondents to find out the influence of integrated marketing communications upon the buyers’ buying decisions. The research brings conclusions regarding the consumption habits of different generations and other factors influencing buying decisions. The research confirmed the hypothesis that integrated marketing communications in the context of digital marketing is a relatively little used type of communication in the marketing communication strategy of businesses, yet its use facilitates consumer loyalty. The results of the research are of both theoretical and practical value.
ORGANIZATIONAL DESIGN, INTERNAL COLLABORATION AND PERFORMANCE: AN EMPIRICAL ASSESSMENT IN LATVIA
Authors: Ludviga Iveta 
Published: May 2019

We live in the time of transformations and in response to environmental challenges, traditional forms of organizational designs are changing towards more networked ones. Human resource practitioners claim that ‘Organization of the future’ requires freedom to act, flexible working practices, outcome-based performance management, and high-trust working relationships, however, there is limited empirical attention directed to the elements of organizational structures, and organizational design aspects have not been explicitly addressed. This research aims to identify which organizational design mechanisms facilitate collaboration within organizations and positively contribute to organizational performance. The quantitative study uses data from a structured survey of Latvian organizations. The research findings provide empirical evidence of the positive impact of decentralization, outcome-based performance management and internal trust on collaboration within the organizational boundaries and performance measured as customer satisfaction. Assessing differences between organisations it was found that internal trust appears to be even more important collaboration ensuring factor for large organizations than for smaller ones. Research results show that managers should establish internal trust-based relationships within their organizations since the effect of trust on collaboration could not be overestimated.

The field of psychological help in Latvia is undergoing significant changes that require reviewing past practices and professional activities. The term “psychological help” is used quite widely in Latvian regulation, not revealing the semantic difference from other terms as psychological treatment, psychological care, psychological support or psychological aid. The purpose of this article is to find out how the term "psychological help" is used in the regulatory documents of Latvia. The method of qualitative thematic analysis was used to analyse terminology use in selected documents (n115). As a result five topics describing psychological help were identified and defined in the regulatory documents of Latvia: “Professional diversity of psychological help providers”, “Indicators for professional help”, “Targets of professional help”, “Beneficiaries of psychological help”, “Methods of professional help”. The term psychological help in Latvian regulatory documents is revealed in a fragmentary and non-systematic way, which contributes to the confusion of terminological diffusion and boundaries of professional competences.

Authors: Jokste Inese , Koļesņikova Jeļena 
Published: May 2019

Since the beginning of 1990s, when the first multidimensional concepts of perfectionism were published (see, Frost et al., 1990; Hewitt, & Flett, 1990, 1991) there has been a stable increase in the research of perfectionism and its relationships to wide variety of variables, for example, stress (Smith, Saklofske, Yan, & Sherry, 2017), personality traits (Cruce, Pashak, Handal, Munz, & Gfeller, 2012) coping strategies (Gnilka, McLaulin, Ashby, & Alle, 2017). It has to be noted that perfectionism researchers have turned their attention to both general and clinical populations, as well as specific groups, for example, individuals with high intellectual abilities or gifted individuals (e.g., Kornblum, & Ainely, 2005; Margot, & Rinn, 2016). The paper aims to review the studies focused on relationship between perfectionism and high intellectual abilities, and to see what variables are involved in this relationship. In the first section of the paper concepts and definitions of high intellectual abilities are described. In the second section of the paper perfectionism concepts are described. An in the third section of the paper the relationship between high intellectual abilities and perfectionism is analysed. The results of literature review will serve as theoretical background for studying individuals with high intellectual ability and perfectionistic personality traits.

Can perineal tear be predicted by severity of striae gravidarum score?
Authors: Patel Nidhi , Shah Nilesh , Desai Gaurav 
Published: May 2019

Background: The objective of this study was to wether perineal tear predicted by scoring of severity of striae gravidarum. The objective of this study was to predict perineal tear by simple non-invasive method and help to prevent maternal morbidity.Methods: Three hundred ninety four patients delivered normally were included in this study. Striae gravidarum score was assessed using the Atwal numerical scoring system. The association was examined between striae and perineal tear as the outcome measure, defined by tears or laceration, and the total striae scores (TSS) was obtained.Results: In present study population mean age was 25.16 years ranging from 16-40 , mean gravidity was 2.16 ranging from 1 -8 ,average baby birth weight was 2.713 kg ranging from 1.62-4.58 The only predictors of perineal tears that were found to be statistically significant in our study were severity of striae gravidarum and episiotomy given or not. In patients with moderate to severe striae there was tear in 90 patients as compared to 29 patients with no or mild striae. 224 patients belonging to no or mild striae group delivered without any perineal tear whereas 51 patients in moderate to severe striae group delivered without tear. Out of these 51 patients 5 were given episiotomy. 2 patients who were given episiotomy had perineal tear as compared to 117 patients who were not given episiotomy. This shows that patients who had an episiotomy were less likely to have perineal tear in most cases.Conclusions: This study demonstrates a significant relation between severity of striae gravidarum and perineal tear. The findings suggest that striae gravidarum assessment may be used in the clinical setting even by paramedical staff as a simple and noninvasive tool to better define women at risk for perineal tear.

Authors: Gupta Shilpa , Kagathray Bhumika 
Published: May 2019

Background: The aim of our study was to compare the efficacy, safety and patient’s satisfaction of intracervical Foley catheter with intracervical dinoprostone gel (PGE2 gel) for cervical ripening for successful induction of labor.Methods: Prospective study was conducted in Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, M P Shah Medical College, Jamnagar, Gujarat. 317 women with term pregnancy with bishop score of less than 4 with various indications for induction were included. Intracervical foley catheter was kept in 162 women for cervical ripening (group A) while intracervical PGE2 gel was kept in rest 155 women (group B). The change in the bishop score, progress of labor, adverse effects and outcome of labor along with the patient’s satisfaction were assessed.Results: With regard to the obstetrical parameters, the two groups were comparable with respect to maternal age, gestational age, parity, indication for induction and initial bishop score. At 12 hours, both the groups showed significant improvement in bishop score, 5.2±1.81 and 4.8±1.76 in Foley catheter and PGE2 gel respectively. Mean induction to delivery interval was 18.8±5.5 in group A and 17.9±5.3 in group B, which was statistically insignificant. No significant differences in side effects, mode of delivery and APGAR score were noted in both the groups. However, the incidence of hyperstimulation and tachysystole was higher in PGE2 gel group.Conclusions: This study shows that both Foley catheter and dinoprostone gel appear to be equally effective agents for cervical ripening. Infect foley catheter is cheap, causes less fetal distress and is safer than PGE2 gel.
(Pop)kulturowe trwanie wieku XIX Casus: literatura kryminalna
Authors: Mazurkiewicz Adam 
Published: May 2019

Artykuł poświęcony jest strategiom pisarskim, dzięki którym rekonstruowana zostaje przeszłość, obecnym w najnowszej polskiej literaturze kryminalnej. Pośród różnych funkcji spełnianych przez opowieści kryminalne, których akcja rozgrywa się w XIX wieku, można wymienić następujące:
– zabiegi zmierzające do rewaloryzacji paradygmatu romantycznego, mającego zakorzenienie w wieku XIX, a stanowiącego istotny punkt odniesienia dla współczesności;
– traktowanie XIX wieku jako pretekstu do namysłu nad współczesnością;
– namysł nad ograniczeniami (re)konstruowania wizji przeszłości.
W utworach tych nieobojętne dla wartościowania ukazanej wizji przeszłości jest rozłożenie akcentów fabularnych, dookreślające postawę autora wobec przeszłości: afirmującą, bądź krytyczną. Niekiedy zresztą, o czym należy pamiętać zwłaszcza podczas lektury utworów „podejrzanych aksjologicznie”, napięcie pomiędzy widzeniem świata przez nadawcę i odbiorcę staje się podstawą szczególnej gry literackiej.
INDEKS PENGELOLAAN MASJID DAN PEMBERDAYAAN UMAT DI KABUPATEN PONOROGO DAN BOJONEGORO JAWA TIMUR
Authors: Maknun Moch Lukluil 
Published: May 2019

ABSTRAKPertumbuhan masjid bertambah dari tahun ke tahun. Pemerintah pada tahun 2014 telah menetapkan syarat-syarat minimal pengelolaan masjid sesuai tipologinya yaitu dari tingkat pusat hingga tingkat desa. Di antara fungsi masjid yang disarankan pemerintah selain menjalankan kepentingan ibadah ritual adalah menjadi sarana ibadah sosial di bidang ekonomi, pendidikan, sosial budaya, dan lainnya. Penelitian ini dengan menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif mengungkap persepsi masyarakat terhadap variabel X (pengelolaan masjid) (jami di tingkat desa/kelurahan) dan variabel Y (pemberdayaannya umat) serta mengukur besaran pengaruhnya di Kab. Ponorogo dan Kab. Bojonegoro. Persepsi masyarakat terhadap pengelolaan masjid di kedua Kabupaten secara umum dapat dikatakan sudah baik demikian pula pada pemberdayaan umat. Hasil data memperlihatkan bahwa persepsi masyarakat terhadap dua variabel di Ponorogo lebih baik dari Bojonegoro meskipun hanya berselisih 2% dan 10%. Hasil pengukuran pengaruh (regresi) pengelolaan masjid terhadap pemberdayaan umat di kedua Kabupaten menyatakan bahwa korelasi kedua variabel cukup kuat. Besaran pengaruh pengelolaan masjid terhadap pemberdayaan umat sebesar 53% untuk Ponorogo dan 54% untuk Bojonegoro. Catatan yang ditemukan dari penelitian adalah masih adanya kelemahan pada aspek pengorganisasian dan pelaksanaan dalam variabel pengelolaan masjid, serta aspek pengorganisasian lokal masyarakat pada pemberdayaan umat. Secara umum, masjid dinilai masih kurang dalam memperhatikan pemberdayaan ekonomi jamaah serta kajian untuk remaja.Kata Kunci: pengelolaan masjid, pemberdayaan umat, pengaruh, persepsi
