Information Literacy Education in the South African Classroom: Reflections from Teachers’ Journals in the Western Cape Province
Authors: Zinn Sandy , Stilwell Christine , Hoskins Ruth 
Published: April 2016

AbstractThis qualitative study reports on teachers in the Western Cape as they attempt to embed information literacy in their classrooms. It explores how teachers come to understand information literacy and the extent to which they change their beliefs about guiding research projects in a more concerted way. The research questions were: (1) how do teachers understand information literacy education? (2) how do teachers make their information literacy explicit in the classroom? and (3) at what level are teachers’ web knowledge and skills? The teachers, who were part of an information literacy education course, formed a purposive sample. The data for this study emanated from solicited, reflective journals which participants kept over a period of eight to 10 weeks. Information seeking and use theory and an inquiry-based approach to learning frame this research. Motivation for the study is rooted in a curriculum which embodies information literacy characteristics. Traditionally, information literacy has been the domain of the school librarian. Only 16.82 % of South African schools have a stocked library. With so few school libraries and no official position in schools for a qualified school librarian, the onus for teaching information literacy thus rests on the teacher. This article provides the context for South African education and a review of the information literacy literature with an emphasis on South Africa and teachers’ information literacy. The results show that, despite many obstacles in these teachers’ paths, they express a fairly sound understanding of information literacy education by the end of the journaling exercise. However, fewer teachers can competently mediate information literacy in the classroom. One of the major barriers to information literacy is the teachers’ slow adoption of the World Wide Web. Recommendations for further study include examining teacher education programmes for their inclusion of information literacy education; for awareness of plagiarism and the ethics of information use in the school environment; and the effect of information and communication technology on learners’ information literacy.

Decomposition studies of group 6 hexacarbonyl complexes. Part 2: Modelling of the decomposition process
Authors: Usoltsev Ilya , Eichler Robert , Türler Andreas 
Published: April 2016

AbstractThe decomposition behavior of group 6 metal hexacarbonyl complexes (M(CO)6) in a tubular flow reactor is simulated. A microscopic Monte-Carlo based model is presented for assessing the first bond dissociation enthalpy of M(CO)6complexes. The suggested approach superimposes a microscopic model of gas adsorption chromatography with a first-order heterogeneous decomposition model. The experimental data on the decomposition of Mo(CO)6and W(CO)6are successfully simulated by introducing available thermodynamic data. Thermodynamic data predicted by relativistic density functional theory is used in our model to deduce the most probable experimental behavior of the corresponding Sg carbonyl complex. Thus, the design of a chemical experiment with Sg(CO)6is suggested, which is sensitive to benchmark our theoretical understanding of the bond stability in carbonyl compounds of the heaviest elements.
Aging analysis of high voltage silicone rubber/silica nanocomposites under accelerated weathering conditions
Authors: Khattak Abraiz , Iqbal Muhammad , Amin Muhammad 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
Silicone rubber (SiR) is extensively used in outdoor insulation and other applications. However, like other polymers, SiR also degrades and lessens its performance in the exposition of environmental stresses. Nanofillers improve the aging behavior of polymeric insulating materials. To investigate the effect of nanosilica on the aging behavior of SiR, we fabricated nanocomposites of SiR with 2.5 wt.% nanosilica (SNC-2.5) and 5 wt.% nanosilica (SNC-5) by mechanical mixing and ultrasonication method. The prepared samples were subjected to uniform ultraviolet (UV) radiation, heat, humidity, salt fog, and acid rain along with neat SiR in cyclic manner at 2.5 kV for 5000 h in a specially fabricated weathering chamber. Neat SiR and both nanocomposites showed gradual decrease in transparency. Random loss and recovery in hydrophobicity and increase and decrease in leakage current (LC) were recorded for all samples, in which SNC-5 showed the best hydrophobic behavior and least LC. For SNC-5, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) results showed negligible reduction in absorption peaks at important wave-numbers and increase and intactness were observed at absorption peaks related to the hydrophobic methyl group. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results also concurred with FTIR, LC measurements, and hydrophobicity analysis.
New Data on the Genus Sucinoptius (Coleoptera, Ptinidae) from Rovno Amber
Authors: Bellés X. , Perkovsky E. E. 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
Study of five examples of spider beetle inclusions from Rovno amber revealed that at least three of these spider beetles belong to the genus Sucinoptinus Bellés et Vitali, 2007, of them, S. rovnoensis sp. n. (most probably from Klesov) and S. brevipennis sp. n. from Dubrovitsa are described. S. rovnoensis is similar to the previously known S. bukejsi Alekseev in having the same general structure of pronotum and elytra, differing from it by the morphology of pronotal sides, which are only slightly rounded and practically not constricted near the base, whereas in S. bukejsi the sides are well rounded leaving a slight but clear constriction near the base. S. brevipennis is similar to S. bukejsi Alekseev and S. sucini Bellés et Vitali in having the same general structure of the prothorax, but differing from them in having much shorter elytra. Addition of these two new species to the two previously known, S. sucini, from the eastern Baltic Sea coast, and S. bukejsi, from Kaliningrad Region, indicates that the genus Sucinoptinus was much more diverse and widespread in Late Eocene forests than former reports suggested.
The Role of Anthropogenic Influence on Biological Signal Field (BSF) Characteristics of the Wolf, Canis lupus lupus (Canidae, Carnivora)
Authors: Shkvyria M. G. , Yakovlev Ye. B. 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
The main goal of the current research includes studying the biological signal field (BSF) characteristics of the wolf (Canis lupus lupus Linnaeus, 1758) at different values of anthropogenic load on territories with conservation (Białowieża National park (Poland)) and hunting status of the species (Chornobyl Exclusion Zone (Ukraine)). The research in Białowieża Primeval Forest was conducted in two stages: study of the BSF characteristics of the wolf and finding correlation between data acquired from Ukraine (the first stage), and over-time study of intensity of the biological signal field (the second stage). In result of the first stage, there was no significant dependence on the characteristics of the territory and the differences between the behavior of wolves in the Białowieża Primeval Forest (conservation status of the species) and the Exclusion Zone (game status). During the second stage it was determined that provided variance of the intensity between territory groups was insufficient, the degree of significance to animals of area categories varied with the stages of the pack’s life. It was found that the main factors which govern the character of wolf activity are not the level of the anthropic load and hunting pressure, but periods of the life cycle and spatial structure of groups.
First Record of Postcranial Bones in Devinophoca emryi (Carnivora, Phocidae, Devinophocinae)
Authors: Rahmat S. J. , Koretsky I. 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
The Devinophoca emryi material from the early Badenian, early Middle Miocene (16.26–14.89 Ma) presents mixed cranial and especially postcranial characters with the three extant phocid subfamilies (Cystophorinae, Monachinae and Phocinae), as well as unique postcranial characters not seen in any taxa. These distinguishing characters (i. e. well-outlined, large oval facet on greater tubercle of humerus; broader width between the head and lesser tubercle of humerus; femoral proximal epiphysis larger than distal; thin innominate ilium that is excavated on ventral surface) demonstrate that this material belongs to a recently described species (D. emryi). During ecomorphotype analyses, fossil humerus and femur bones were directly associated with their corresponding mandible to reveal associations based on Recent morphological analogues. Strong correlation between ecomorphotypes and postcranial morphology supports placement of this material to D. emryi and not its sister taxon, D. claytoni. The previously described skull, mandible and teeth and postcranial bones described herein were discovered at the same locality during excavations at the base of the Malé Karpaty Mountains (Slovakia), at the junction of the Morava and Danube rivers. The geological age of D. emryi and the presence of mixed characters strongly suggest that this species was an early relative to the ancestor of seals, possibly being a terminal branch of the phocid tree. This material allows for emended diagnoses of the species, updated assessments of geographical distribution and provides further material for clarification of controversial phylogenetic relationships in Phocidae.

Zusammenfassung
Genossenschaften werden oft aus ihrem durch genossenschaftliche Prinzipien definierten Idealbild diskutiert. Fraglich ist, ob und wieweit dieses Bild mit den tatsächlichen Perzeptionen übereinstimmen. In der vorliegenden Studie wird die Wahrnehmung der genossenschaftlichen Werte in der österreichischen und schweizerischen Bevölkerung untersucht, um einerseits Parallelen wie auch Differenzen zu ermitteln. Obwohl die Befunde kein einheitliches Bild zeigen, lässt sich ein gemeinsamer Wahrnehmungskern erkennen.
Surface Roughness in Nanofluid Minimum Quantity Lubrication Milling of AISI 430 Ferritic Stainless Steel
Authors: Uysal Alper 
Published: April 2016

Abstract
Stainless steels have been used in different fields such as automotive, aerospace, construction, medical instruments, etc. and machining operations have been applied in many of these sectors. However, machinability of stainless steel is difficult due to their hardening tendency and low thermal conductivity. In addition, researchers have struggled with improving the surface quality of machined stainless steel parts. For this reason, a surface roughness investigation was carried out in MQL (minimum quantity lubrication) milling of AISI 430 ferritic stainless steel. The experiments were conducted using uncoated and TiN (titanium nitride) coated WC (tungsten carbide) cutting tools under dry, pure MQL and nanofluid MQL conditions. A commercial vegetable cutting fluid was used as a base fluid and two nanofluids were prepared by adding 0.5 and 1 weight percent nanographene particles to the vegetable cutting fluid. In MQL milling operations, MQL flow rates were adjusted at 20 and 40 mL/h and spindle speed, feed rate, and depth of cut were selected as 995 rpm, 180 mm/min, and 0.5 mm, respectively. Depending on the experimental results, lower surface roughness values were obtained in nanofluid MQL milling due to the cooling and lubrication effects of nanographene particles.

Authors: Cihangiroglu Necmettin , Bakir Bilal 
Published: April 2016

OBJECTIVE: In this study it was aimed to examine the quality of outsourcing transportation services provided for personnel at a military hospital in Turkey by using SERVQUAL method. MATERIAL AND METHOD: This study was conducted as a cross-sectional study from 7 to 29 August 2014 at a military hospital in Ankara. One thousand questionnaires were distributed, 730 were received back, but 176 were excluded from analysis due to missing or false responses. The rest of 554 questionnaires were analyzed by using SPSS for Windows 18.0 package program. The SERVQUAL scale which was developed by Parasuraman et al. (1988) was the main scale in the study. The scale highlights the main components of high quality service as five factors - reliability, assurance, tangibles, empathy and responsiveness - that create the acronym RATER. RESULTS: The majority of participants were women (56.4%), between 31-40 old years (47.2 %), and, up to 77.3% of them used transportation services every work day. It was found that the SERVQUAL instrument had a very high reliability. The Cronbach Alpha coefficient was found between 0.86 and 0.91 for expected quality and between 0.74 and 0.91 for perceived quality. The expectations regarding empathy dimension was at the highest level and expectations regarding other dimensions were also at very high level and very close each other. It was determined also that empathy factor was the highest in negative direction among perceived quality mean scores. When the absolute differences between expected and perceived mean scores for the dimension of tangibles of the scale were compared for all age groups, a significant result was found (p=0,021), and the difference for the age group of 51 and more was significantly lower than others. When the mean scores of perceived service quality of groups based on personnel’ status were compared, the significant results were obtained for three dimensions as tangibles, empathy, responsiveness and also total perceived service quality (<0.05). CONCLUSION: The absolute difference between expected and perceived mean scores regarding outsourcing personnel transportation services was found as negative (-). That means that the quality of service was perceived insufficient. Keywords: Outsorcing, Transportation services, hospital

Published: April 2016

Background: This study was conducted to evaluate the stress sources and its harmful effects on the personnel working at a military training hospital in Ankara in 2014. Methods: This cross-sectional study included the nonmedical administrative staff working at the hospital. The inquiry form, developed previously (Agma, 2007) was used to reveal the reasons of stress and its effects. Totally, 250 inquiry forms were distributed, 161 were analysed. Results: While Employee Social Environment (ESE) Stressors have had the lowest mean score (1,53 ± 0,77) suggesting the highest impact, Working conditions Stressors factors have had the highest (2,13 ± 1,01). No significant result was found when compared mean scores of ESE between groups based on age, sex, marital status, and work duration with the exception of the groups based on education levels (p=0,037). Conclusion: Results of this research indicate that the occupational stressors existing in the hospital have led to very high stress on all the administrative staff involved in this study. Low decision latitude seems to be one major factor contributing this high level of job stress. Verbal abuse and mobbing might cause the remarkable part of the given stress.Keywords: Occupational Stress, stressors, the effects of stress, hospital, administrative staff
Development of a methodology for assessing the tourism sector competitiveness at the national level
Authors: Ignatjeva Svetlana , Musayeva Naila 
Published: April 2016

The aim of this study is to develop and adapt the methodology to assess the tourism industry competitiveness at the national level. International tourism as a source of both direct and indirect incomes of the state, encourages the development of different sectors, not specific to the tourism infrastructure, but through the multiplier effect. In this connection it is urgent to develop new methodological approaches to measure and assess the international competitiveness of countries in order to put countries in a better position in the current competition for tourism revenues. The problem of determining the tourist potential of a particular territory with a view to the most efficient use is a difficult research challenge. The Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Index (TTCI) has been put in the proposed methodology. The sub-indices, components and indicators that form the TTCI index are used as the parameters that characterize national economy. The application of factor analysis to the TTCI dimension components for the competitiveness of the twelve-dimensional space is reduced to two factors: socially-economic and resource-ecological factors. A two-step cluster analysis in the area of these factors allowed to group fifty-five countries selected for analysis in three homogeneous clusters. Countries, formed in clusters, have similarities in competitive advantages, factors and quality indicators of tourist resources and infrastructure. The comparative analysis of these clusters, using TTCI indicators, allows to describe the formation model of competitiveness in the tourism sector and to determine the qualitative position of the country not only among the closest countries in terms of tourism destination development, but also to draw conclusions about the preferred tourist specialization. Keywords: the travel & tourism competitiveness ındex, factor analysis, cluster analysis.
