Contribuições para um Framework para Avaliação de Qualidade e Eficácia de MOOCs
Authors: De Souza Flavio Lemos , Morgado Lina , Marinho Vitor Duncan 
Published: March 2019

O objetivo do presente artigo é o de oferecer contribuições para formulação de frameworks como ferramentas de suporte ao desenvolvimento de MOOCs mais eficientes e com melhor qualidade. Dois estudos de caso foram realizados com MOOCs financiados pela Comissão Europeia, cujo principal objetivo é o de introduzir educadores presenciais junto a algumas experiências pedagógicas positivas em ambiente virtual, e que podem ser aplicadas ao ensino presencial. Os resultados levaram à observação de que, embora o MOOC em análise tenha demonstrado conformidade com relação à maioria dos principais fundamentos pedagógicos, vários outros importantes aspectos pedagógicos secundários, designs instrucionais, assim como a usabilidade da plataforma educacional, não receberam a atenção necessária. Os resultados do presente estudo conduziram à conclusão de que frameworks, concebidos como ferramentas de suporte ao desenvolvimento de MOOCs, devem incluir não apenas teorias, conceitos e princípios pedagógicos fundamentais e gerais (como a maioria deles atualmente o fazem), mas também integrar a estes - e de forma articulada - os imprescindíveis aspectos secundários práticos, como, por exemplo, o design instrucional e o projeto do sistema de aprendizagem centrada no usuário.

Authors: Romiszowski Hermelina Pastor 
Published: March 2019

O presente texto trata de competências do design instrucional, de acordo com a proposta do IBSTPI - International Board of Standards for Training, Performance and Instruction (www.ibstpi.org). O IBSTPI é uma comissão internacional de pesquisadores que estuda e publica listas de competências e padrões dos desempenhos que se espera de profissionais nas áreas de Educação, Desenvolvimento de Recursos Humanos e Tecnologias Educacionais. A lista aqui apresentada é resultado de pesquisas realizadas com acadêmicos e profissionais que desenvolvem atividades de design instrucional, consideradas essenciais para o planejamento de componentes de sistemas de educação a distância. O documento é informativo e educativo e também pode ser usado como ajuda de trabalho pelas gerências de projetos/programas para definir padrões de seleção e qualificação e pelos próprios profissionais que atuam na área, como instrumento de auto-avaliação.A lista das competências é dividida em 4 grandes partes (domínios) e 22 partes menores (as competências). Dependendo do cargo executado, da estrutura da equipe e da natureza dos projetos desenvolvidos, um determinado profissional pode necessitar mais de determinadas competências em determinados domínios. Comparando a descrição do próprio cargo com a estrutura dos domínios e competências, cada profissional pode identificar as competências mais relevantes da lista e comparar seu próprio desempenho com os padrões definidos pelos itens listados. Os padrões de desempenho são ainda classificados em dois níveis. O nível "Essencial" representa os padrões mínimos necessários a um profissional que atua como "instructional designer". Eles definem os objetivos de um curso ou programa de treinamento inicial. O nível "Avançado" representa os padrões mais especializados que apenas alguns profissionais precisam alcancar e que, geralmente, são desenvolvidos ao longo da vida profissional.

Authors: Aliabadi Alireza , Mohammadi-Farani Ahmad , Haqiqi Arash , Khanlari Elham 
Published: March 2019

Introduction: Cancer has been known as one the main causes of the death in the world. In recent researches, discovery of effective, selective and safe medications is a priority and emergency. In recent reports, the role of lipoxygenases (LOX) has been confirmed in neoplastic diseases. Some isoenzymes such as 5, 12 and 15 have more importance in the neoplasia. According to the efficacy of naphthalimides as LOX inhibitor, herein we explored the cytotoxicity of naphthalimide derivatives.
Methods: A basic study was carried out in the current research. The cytotoxicity of a new series of naphthalimide-based 15-LOX-1 inhibitors was evaluated in three cancerous cell lines namely SKNMC (neuroblastoma), PC3 (prostatic cancer), HT29 (colorectal cancer) using MTT protocol and the obtained data was compared to doxorubicin. Calculation of the IC50 of tested compounds was performed by regression analysis using Prism-6 software.
Results: Totally, all tested compounds exhibited inferior activity than doxorubicin towards HT-29, SKNMC and PC3 cell lines. SKNMC cell line rendered more sensitivity to tested compounds. Amongst the compounds 3a-3m, compound 3e (3-methoxy) and 3i (4-F) with IC50 = 5.92±1.78 µM and 10.04±1.7 µM were the most potent derivatives towards PC3 cells.
Conclusion: Although all compounds did not exert more potency in comparison with doxorubicin, some of them showed remarkable cytotoxicity. The potent derivatives could be introduced as novel lead compounds for development of new anticancer drugs.

Published: March 2019

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of the implementation of Contingency Management (CM) intervention in a mandatory treatment center in Malaysia. Treatment engagement within psycho social sessions and treat- ment motivation were monitored in a randomized controlled trial study.
Methodology: A total of 44 patients were chosen as participants and randomly assigned into two groups namely the experimental group of treatment as usual + contingency management (TAU+CM) (n=22) and the controlled group of treatment as usual (TAU) (n=22). The TAU+CM group followed a 12-week CM intervention and 4-week maintenance period without CM reinforcement. Meanwhile, the TAU group went through 16 weeks of usual psychosocial session implemented in the center.
Measurements: The main outcome of the research was the effect of CM toward treatment engagement within treatment session and a secondary analysis to measure the patients’ treatment motivation using Treatment Motivation Questionnaire (TMQ) during pre, post, maintenance phase and follow up after four months. CM reinforcement using reward stickers with monetary value were contingent with every achieved treatment engagement behavior. No reward was given to the TAU group.
Findings: CM found to be effective on treatment engagement of the patient and has a significant effect on motivation especially toward internal motivation.
Conclusion: CM proven to be effective in improving patients’ treatment engagement and patients’ motivation internally compared to the usual program.
A Bad-Tempered Old Man Writing from the Periphery: Thresholds in R.S. Thomas’s Poems
Authors: ALTUNSOY Şafak 
Published: March 2019

R. S. Thomas relates the story of a person who cannot feel at home in the established institutions of the society. This study starts with a brief explanation of Welsh poetry and Thomas’s place in it. Then the study analyses the selected poems of R.S Thomas from his early and later collections in order to trace the emotional breaking points in the poems. The study also attempts to read Thomas’s poetry with respect to the nomadic subjectivity and nomadic time sense. Deliberately choosing to be at the margin, the poetic persona walks on the borders of reality and illusion by trying to find an outlet that would let him out of the long-felt restlessness. By discovering the impossibility of such an option, he turns back to the temporality of the order, but he grasps the glimpses of what he yearns for in the flux and reflux.
Language of the Self Through Art and Representation: “My Name is Red”
Authors: ULUS Hüseyin Ekrem 
Published: March 2019

In his My Name is Red, Pamuk's clever use of metafiction shows that the novel responds to problems of plurality, inclusivity, and exclusivism concerning the theoretical debates on belonging, identity, and secularism in the nation-state. In the present study, we first show that the novel's statement is expressed via the inherent plurality of the narrative, achieved through constantly shifting perceptions and the use of several unexpected narrators in the novel. Second, we find such a pluralist use of metafiction quite significant, because the novel not only gives voice to the underrepresented, but also because Pamuk's metafiction offers an alternative and more plural, inclusive and democratic understanding of self-reflexivity. Metafiction in Pamuk's sense can make meaningful contributions to theory and its capacity to better understand modern, cosmopolitan and multicultural nations.
Daniel Kehlmann’ın “Ben ve Kaminski” Romanında Ahlaki Başkalaşım: (Ben)cillikten (Diğer)kâmlığa Geçiş
Authors: TUNCER Cihan 
Published: March 2019

89/90’lı yıllardan itibaren edebiyatın çerçevesi, konuları ve fonksiyonunda yenilenmeye gidilir. Ayrıca 90’lı yıllardan itibaren politik, kültürel, sosyal vb. yeniliklerin de gerçekleşmesiyle Çağdaş Alman Edebiyat’ından söz edilmesi mümkün olmuştur. Bu dönemin önemli temsilcilerinden biri olan Kehlmann edebiyata bakış açısı ve ele aldığı konular bakımından çağdaşlarından belirgin bir biçimde ayrılır. Yapıtlarında ağırlıklı olarak göze çarpan iç içe geçmiş hiciv ve gerçeklik onu diğerlerinden ayırıcı özelliklerdendir. Çalışmamızda ele aldığımız Ben ve Kaminski romanı ise hicivsel bir üslupla medya etiği, bireysel ahlakı irdeler. Roman 21.yüzyılda kendini merkezileştirerek çevresine duyarsızlaşan bireyin hala içinde var olan vicdanına veya insanca olan yönüne dikkatleri çeker. Bu çalışmada yazarın “Ben ve Kaminski” romanı ahlaki başkalaşım bağlamında incelenmiştir.
Memory in the Lighthouse by Alison Moore
Authors: GEÇİKLİ Kubilay 
Published: March 2019

The Lighthouse by Alison Moore remains to be a narration where the sense of memory has become influential. Almost all memories with mother are joyful and they are what connect Futh, the hero of the novel, to life. Especially the lighthouse, which can be regarded as a concretized form of beautiful memories with the mother, functions as a source and energy of life for him. Still, it is the unbearable memories, the memories of loss and abandonment, the memories of betrayal that gradually lead him to death and dominate his life. It might be argued that Futh was already dead and buried in memories as his absence is not noticed by others. He is abandoned and betrayed by a mother and a wife, who, in Futh’s eyes, would hopefully replace the absent mother. In short, Futh’s life as narrated in the novel is nothing but an account of memories, mostly tragic, which dominate his life and prevent Futh from living in a sense.
Freud’un Rüya Tasavvuru Kapsamında Peyami Safa’nın Matmazel Noraliya’nın Koltuğu Romanından Misaller ile Metaforun Geçici İkâme Teorisi
Authors: DUMAN Mehmet Akif 
Published: March 2019

Geçici ikâme teorisi (Substitution Theorie) kapsamında Freud’un rüya tahlilinde kullandığı dört aşamanın izah edilmesi ile tahkiyeli metinlerin analizi için oldukça işlevsel bir sistemin temelleri atılmış olacaktır. Yani dilin bir rüya işi olması, metnin bir rüya gibi analiz edilmesini meşru kılacak ve ortaya çıkan dört katman arasında müellifin ve okurun tavırları (olması gerektiği ve olduğu şekilleri de muhtevi olarak) daha net görülebilecektir. Bu minvalde tetkiki daha müşahhas kılmak amacı ile Peyami Safa’nın “Matmazel Noralya’nın Koltuğu” isimli romanı seçilmiştir. Müellifin gerekse pragmatik katmanın eşiğindeki ve gerekse de pragmatik katmandaki kullanımları maksadı izah etmek için bize oldukça kapsamlı bir alan vermektedir.
Psychometric Properties of Adaptation of The Oxford Utilitarianism Scale to Turkish
Authors: ERZİ Seda 
Published: March 2019

Studies concerning utilitarian judgements have generally relied on sacrificial moral dilemmas. In their study, Kahane et al. (2017) made distinction between utilitarian judgements and developed a new scale to measure two dimensions of utilitarianism namely impartial beneficence and instrumental harm. This study aims to extensively examine the psychometric properties of adapted version of the Oxford Utilitarianism Scale in Turkish sample (n=290). Concerning the reliability of the scale, internal consistency and item-total correlation coefficients are found to be satisfactory. Consistent with the original scale two factor model was supported (2 factor solution was explained 54.24% of total variance) and confirmatory factor analysis revealed an adequate fit. As for the validity studies, convergent validity of the scale is supported revealing the association of OUS total, impartial beneficence and instrumental harm with conceptually related measures, which included sub-clinical psychopathy, empathy and perspective taking. The theoretical and practical implications of this study are discussed.
An Intertextual Approach to Cervantes’ Don Quixote and Fielding’s Joseph Andrews
Authors: KAYA Hilal 
Published: March 2019

Cervantes’ novel Don Quixote (1605) has been an inspiration for the works of many artists, and Henry Fielding himself on the title page of his novel accepts that Joseph Andrews (1742) was written in imitation of the manner of Cervantes, the author of Don Quixote. Moving from this point, the ideas developed in this paper are an attempt to study the thematic and formal similarities between Don Quixote and Joseph Andrews with an intertextual approach. In this respect, this article explores such literary elements as satire, parody, picaresque novel, and the Quixotic character employed both in Don Quixote and Joseph Andrews comparatively and this study, hence, argues that reading Joseph Andrews through Don Quixote and a comparison between them will provide the reader with a possibility of new insights about the text.

<p>This article will critically look at social and cultural impacts of resettlement programme, manifest and latent function of resettlement programme which has gradually helped in terms of diffusion of cultural and had let to the social integration of people of Mendrelgang geowg under Tsirang Dzongkhag. Previously Mendrelgang gewog have a dominant population of Lhotshampa speaking the Nepali language. Now with the introduction of resettlement programme we have almost people from twenty dzongkhag which comprise of Lhotshampas, Ngalops, sharshops, Kheng and Brokpa and all. This different ethnic population has its unique language, cultural, beliefs and practices. So because of this, we have heterogeneity of population in one particular gewog (District). This heterogeneity of population has slowly helped in terms of diffusion of different culture among the different ethnic people. So this diffusion of culture and cultural traits has reduced the sense of Ethnocentrism among different communities and brought cultural and social inclusiveness. Despite the difference that they have in terms of culture, beliefs, practice, race and ethnicity. People of Mendregang gewog are working together to maintain social solidarity through collective action. This in return helped them to understand and respect each other culture. So because of these people of Mendrelgang are having unity in diversity. This is how people of Mendrelgang are contributing towards building a happy nation and contributing to Gross National Happiness.</p>

Published: March 2019

<p>Work is a fundamental aspect of life. Employees spend much of their waking hours at work with an average of around 9 hours per day and 48 hours per week. With the amount of time the workforce spends working, it is not surprising that work relates significantly to overall well-being and life satisfaction. One key aspect of wellbeing that work affects is stress and it has several significant health-related consequences. With the high turnover in most organizations and with many organizations giving excellent employee benefits, it has become imperative to provide employees with reasons to stay.</p><p>Many researchers have linked performance with wellness. Studies have indicated that there are many high levels of organizational productivity loss which are directly linked to workplace stress and a lack of employee wellness. Employees who aren’t well physically or mentally won’t be able to work to their full potential. Wellbeing affects an employee’s ability to creatively solve problems. It also influences their attitude to work, and their relationship with co-workers and it affects their health as well. It is a key issue that organizations are trying to address. Large numbers of employers have adopted workplace wellbeing strategies and are relating them to HR objectives. The focus on employee wellbeing has never been more crucial than it is today.</p><p>The question is - What is the goal of wellbeing programs in organizations? How do employees perceive such programs? Is it able to address both the male and female workforce? Are the programs effective? Is it backed by data? In our study, we try to answer these questions. Our empirical study seeks to identify the stress factors for employees and assess the wellbeing programs of organizations to find out whether they are able to address the stress-inducing factors. We also try to find the scope of HR analytics in making the wellbeing programs effective, thus enhancing employee wellbeing. </p>
