CURIOSIDADE E PRAZER DE APRENDER O papel da curiosidade na aprendizagem criativa
Authors: Bertuncello Julia Marta Zamarchi , Bortoleto Edivaldo José 
Published: February 2018

Este artigo tem por finalidade nos mostrar o que realmente é a curiosidade e qual é sua atuação segundo Assmann. Hoje onde vivemos num mundo globalizado, em que temos uma enxurrada de informações não é difícil de aguçar a curiosidade. Mas esta curiosidade pode ser tanto para o bem como para o mal. Freire e Assmann discutem no âmbito da curiosidade de aprender, de buscar novos conhecimentos além daqueles que lhe apresentado em sala de aula, a integração docente e discente em sala de aula. Da curiosidade a criatividade é uma das formas de aprender com prazer, incentivar o aluno a buscar novos desafios colocar para fora suas curiosidades. Alunos curiosos não fazem só perguntas, mas vão em busca de respostas. A curiosidade é tão importante quanto a inteligência. A curiosidade prepara o cérebro para aprender, exercita a mente para o novo, ou entender porque algumas coisas aconteceram no passado, buscando novas respostas e indagações. Foi-se o tempo que o individuo curioso era chamado de bisbilhoteiro ou intrigueiro, que apenas algumas pessoas tinha o privilégio de alimentar suas curiosidade e esta no mundo contemporâneo faz com que a aprendizagem seja mais prazerosa e aulas menos monótonas.Hugo Hassmann em seu livro “Curiosidade e Prazer de Aprender”, nos leva a refletir sobre vários aspectos e sentidos sobre curiosidade, o que significa propriamente esta palavra em suas diversas formas e idiomas. Como no passado era visto na sociedade a curiosidade? Qual era a relevância na vida do individuo e como foi paulatinamente sendo estuda nas mais variadas teorias e como foi marginalizada diante de pré-conceitos? O autor coloca como “ponto-chave: é a nova cultura do ensino e da aprendizagem em nossas escolas”. Enfatizando que as nossas escolas tem que instigar a curiosidade nos alunos para aprender com satisfação e alegria. Onde o conhecimento se mantém vivo em uma atmosfera leve sem medo das suas escolhas e sem a neofilia (gosto pelo novo).Nos tempos modernos curiosidade/criatividade é o que está mais em voga no grupos de pesquisas, nas escolas, nos artigos de revistas renomadas. Diante de um mundo globalizado é impossível que este sentimento não seja aflorado pelo mundo escolar, acadêmico e na sociedade num todo

Authors: Kalkan Indrani 
Published: February 2018

Abstract
Problem Statement: The adolescence is a crucial stage between childhood and adulthood during which an individual acquires new qualities and practices including dietary habits that may be influenced by his peers and social circle. Purpose of the study: To determine the dietary habits of adolescents studying in high schools in Konya, Turkey where obesity has been determined to be considerably high. Methods: The population comprised of first year students registered for 2012-2013 academic year at five different high schools selected randomly in Konya. The study included a total of 643 individuals. Data regarding dietary habits of students were collected by means of Adolescent Food Habit Checklist (AFHC) whose validity and reliability studies for Turkish version had been previously published. Means, standard deviation and ANOVA tests were performed for data analysis. Findings and Results: The mean age was 15.18±0.57 years of which 65.2% were males. Body mass index evaluation indicated 51.8% of students were underweight, 39.5% normal and 8.7% overweight. Mean AFHC score of students were calculated as 9.17±3.70. Mean AFHC score obtained by females (9.97±3.67) were significantly higher than males (8.74±3.64) (p<0.01). AFHC scores obtained by overweight students were significantly higher than underweight and normal students (p<0.01). Conclusions and Recommendations: Dietary habits in Turkish adolescents were below optimal level. Higher AFHC scores obtained by overweight students as compared to normal suggested adequate nutritional knowledge is not a decisive factor in determining dietary habits. Proper dietary habits gained at an early age, is important in bringing up healthy generations.

Erotismo y mediatizaciones. Revistas femeninas en la Argentina de la década del 60
Authors: Schaufler María Laura 
Published: February 2018

<p>El presente artículo traza un recorrido históricocultural acerca del problema del erotismo en la prensa femenina argentina de la década del 60. Ello supone una contextualización dentro de un marco de los estudios culturales, de géneros y sexualidades y las investigaciones sobre mediatizaciones. La categoría de erotismo ha jugado un papel silencioso en el marco de las ciencias sociales. Como tópico se ha mantenido en los márgenes quizás por el peso de la herencia de la cultura religiosa que lo ha definido como un tema prohibido. Neutralizada, la categoría a menudo ha estado solapada tras la sexualidad –y ésta última asociada estrechamente a la dualidad sexual o de los sexos–. En el plano discursivo y en el marco de la cultura de masas constituyó un tópico de disputa simbólica en la década del 60. Lo decible y lo visible respecto al erotismo sufrió mutaciones, hilvanándose una cesura que resignificó la problemática, redefiniendo lo indecible, dentro de la configuración de una época. Los regímenes semiótico-discursivos indicaban no sólo qué podía y qué debía ver la sociedad acerca de lo erótico sino también cómo debía verlo. Las construcciones discursivas y semióticas en la prensa femenina configuraban una visibilización moderada de este aspecto de la vida social.</p>
Moral hazard in producer organizations - some experiences of an empirical survey
Authors: Kovács Zoltán 
Published: February 2018

A wide range of empirical experiences shows that the performance of Hungarian producer organizations (aka TÉSZ) significantly falls behind the activity observed in the developed Western European countries. Regarding this issue, the present study examines how moral hazard - as one of the possible reasons - influences the producers’ activities in cooperative organizations. Information for the research was collected with the help of a questionnaire survey among the members of PaprikaKert TÉSZ Ltd. A statistical path model has been developed for the research, which assumed that - in addition to a direct effect - moral hazard also affects collaborative activity by eroding trust. The statistical model has been tested both in member-member and members-management relations. The experiences from the survey clearly show that moral hazard exists in the producer organization. According to my results, though its measure cannot be regarded numerically considerable, its negative effect on cooperative activity can be proved with statistical examinations. Its effect can be divided into two aspects: besides a direct effect, an indirect one can also be detected, which means that moral hazard is able to reduce producers’ willingness to cooperate by eroding trust. Moreover, our results have clearly pointed out that moral hazard has a negative impact on member-member and members-management relations to varying degrees and through different mechanisms. In addition to the above tests, the empirical testing of another model called Sholtes trust model has been carried out, too. The validating was successful, so the model - which attributes trust to the faith in the partner’s loyalty and capability - is basically acceptable. The argument says that high-level trust can be observed among partners only when faith both in loyalty and capability is strong enough. The research, however, revealed that the above-mentioned two factors determine it in a different way: regarding trust between members, the faith in capability is more important; while trust towards the management is more determined by faith in loyalty.

Perspectives for development social entrepreneurship in republic of Moldova
Authors: Stratan Dumitru 
Published: February 2018

Social entrepreneurship, as a field for research and scientific disputes between scholars and practitioners, it still remains a novel investigation area, as far as new opportunities, challenges, business approaches and concepts appear into the modern world and competitive market. This paper puts emphasis on social framework behind the development of social businesses in Moldova. Moreover, it presents the grass-root state of readiness of existing small and medium – sized enterprises from Moldova to undertake the leap towards the new kind of economy and different organizational approaches. The paper provides a content analysis of specific literature on social entrepreneurship, with particular emphasis on general perception of the small holders and small and medium – sized enterprises on social business. A total number of 593 small and medium – sized enterprises and individuals participated to organized interviews. The survey results show that 66% of the respondents are not acknowledged with social entrepreneurship concept and functionality. From those (34%) who are informed about the topic, most of them are actual young entrepreneurs. Additionally, young entrepreneurs, respondents, wouldn’t reinvest their profit for social mission (73%). Unlike young entrepreneurs, individuals would reinvest their profit in social missions, in case they have a business. These findings suggest that, in the society there is a lack of general understanding on social entrepreneurship. The author also found out that, the general perception regarding social problems is mostly assigned to public authorities instead of enterprises. Moreover, the research results show that the absence of a clear mechanism which would raise public awareness regarding social problems and social capital, affects the active implication of community stakeholders into the societal problems.

Authors: Gergely Éva 
Published: February 2018

The paper endeavours to give a narrower definition of the orientation of ‘career’. The survey to be discussed examines a sample of 116 full time students of economics and has career anchor analysis as its focus. The study details the result of a questionnaire-based survey, which was carried out with respect to the carrier of university students and was supplemented by surveying motivation, value and work value as well. The analysis finds that “security, stability and organisational identification” are judged to be the primary career anchors among the members of the majority sample. This means that the respondents feel ready to identify themselves with the company and are looking for security to be provided by long term employment, regular earnings and by steady career advancement. The cluster analysis of the questionnaire differentiates four groups: Leaders, Specialists, Entrepreneurs and Employees. The results showed that the Leaders have high capacities of leadership, creativity and autonomy. The Specialists show highly developed functional capabilities in general and they seem to like challenges. The Entrepreneurs have outstandingly high scores concerning autonomy and entrepreneurial creativity. The members of the cluster of the Employees are characterised by a high expectation of security and stability and by low levels of managerial capability and entrepreneurial creativity. Discriminant analysis was applied to select the distinguishing features that can set the clusters apart from each other. The motivations, values preferences and work values inventory will consolidate the differences between the clusters of the career anchors. Using the method in high education within special trainings could be the practical utilization of the study. On the basis of the results a questionnaire can be compiled, which could help uncertain students relating to their carriers and future orientation containing information in connection with their carrier orientation, motivation, value preferences and work value.
