Travelling among Languages – Comparing Language Learning Beliefs of Learners at Home Versus Migrant or Immigrant Workers
Authors: Biró Enikő 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
The paper presents a qualitative approach to language learning beliefs while analysing case studies in detail to offer significant insight into these beliefs and language learning as well. A number of studies have shown that the belief system of language learners plays a decisive role in their success and failure in language learning (Bernat & Gvozdenko 2005; Horwitz 2008). The research presents the content analysis of interviews with bilingual participants. Interviews were carried out with migrant workers, other interviews with bilingual students in Romania, as well as online interviews with immigrant workers in the EU. The paper explores different beliefs learners hold regarding learning languages. By comparing migrant workers’ and students’ beliefs the complexity of positive and negative beliefs are presented. These may change due to previous and current language learning experiences, cultural-, social-, and educational background, personality traits, etc. The result of the qualitative analysis has shown that beliefs are linked to the particular language placed in a socialcultural dimension; the same beliefs may not be possible to be transferred to the next language being learnt, individual differences in beliefs regarding learning languages and their dynamic change in different language learning processes are investigated in details.
Translation of Transylvanian Culture-Specific Items into English
Authors: Kémenes Árpád 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
The present paper focuses on some difficulties encountered during the translation of culture-specific items in Zsuzsa Tapodi’s articles Links between the East and the West: Historical Bonds between the Hungarians and the Balkan Peoples and Hungarian Ethnographic Region in Romania, published in the May 2014 issue of Carmina Balcanica. As far as the theoretical framework adopted in this study is concerned, the terminology on translation strategies relies on the taxonomy developed by Aixelá (1996), while the classification of culture-specific items has been influenced by Dimitriu (2002) and Yılmaz-Gümüş (2012). The study provides a definition of the term ‘culture-specific item’, considers the targetreaders’ awareness of source-language culture, and presents a number of translation strategies applied to mediate culture-bound information between the source and target cultures.
Studentification in Bloemfontein, South Africa
Authors: Ackermann Anton , Visser Gustav 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
Studentification is a global phenomenon that has been prominent in urban geographical discourse since the large-scale expansion of higher education in the early 1990s. In many developed and developing world countries, expansion in student enrolment has outstripped the ability of institutions of higher learning to provide adequate accommodation. Similar trends have been recorded in South Africa. The task of this paper is to investigate studentification as experienced in one of South Africa’s secondary cities. The paper draws attention to the economic, socio-cultural, and physical characteristics of this form of student housing on host locations. It is argued that studentification holds both positive and negative impacts for the host communities of Bloemfontein. Finally, it is suggested that studentification in South Africa requires greater research attention.

Long-Memory Dependence Statistical Models for DDoS Attacks Detection
Authors: Andrysiak Tomasz , Saganowski Łukasz , Maszewski Mirosław , Grad Piotr 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
DDoS attacks detection method based on modelling the variability with the use of conditional average and variance in examined time series is proposed in this article. Variability predictions of the analyzed network traffic are realized by estimated statistical models with long-memory dependence ARFIMA, Adaptive ARFIMA, FIGARCH and Adaptive FIGARCH. We propose simple parameter estimation models with the use of maximum likelihood function. Selection of sparingly parameterized form of the models is realized by means of information criteria representing a compromise between brevity of representation and the extent of the prediction error. In the described method we propose using statistical relations between the forecasted and analyzed network traffic in order to detect abnormal behavior possibly being a result of a network attack. Performed experiments confirmed effectiveness of the analyzed method and cogency of the statistical models.

Entwicklung und Grundlagen der Stoffwechselüberwachung bei Milchkühen
Authors: Fürll M. 
Published: March 2016

ZusammenfassungSystematische Stoffwechselüberwachung begann im deutschsprachigen Raum Ende der 1960er, Anfang der 1970er Jahre wegen der Zunahme von Stoffwechselstörungen als Ursache für Infertilität und Mastitiden und hatte das Ziel besserer Prophylaxe durch deren Früh diagnostik. Entwicklung eines einheitlichen Stoffwechselstandards: Initiiert von Rossow, Gürtler, Ehrentraut, Seidel und Furcht wurde in den 1970er Jahren ein Standard „Stoffwechselüberwachung in der Rinderproduktion” erarbeitet, der auf Betriebsanalyse, klinischen und biochemischen Kontrollen, Prophylaxe und Nachkontrollen basierte. Kernpunkte waren: periodische Screenings stark belasteter, gesunder Indikatortiere 2–4 Tage post partum (p. p.), 2–8 Wochen p. p. und 1–2 Wochen ante partum, maximal 10 Tiere pro Gruppe, Poolproben sind in der Regel sinnvoll, Einzeltierproben optimal, informativstes Probensubstrat und Parameter nutzen, sorgfältiger Umgang mit Proben, sachkundige Auswertung und Nachkontrolle. Bei Stoffwechselkontrollen von 1982 bis 1989 ergaben sich bei ca. 242000 Kühen im Mittel zu 32,9% Ketosen, 20,0% metabolische Azidosen, 21,9% metabolische Alkalosen, 34,2% Stickstoff-Stoffwechselstörungen, 17,3% Natriummangel und 23,7% Leberstörungen. Weiterentwicklung des Stoffwechselstandards nach 1989: Bearbeitet wurden Referenzwerte bei höherer Milchleistung, die Frühdiagnose von Krankheiten des Fettmobilisationssyndroms sowie bessere Frühdiagnostik durch neue Indikatoren, darunter Kreatinkinase (CK), alkalische Phosphatase (AP) mit Isoenzymen, Akute-Phase-Proteine, Zytokine, Antioxidanzien, Carnitin- und Lipoproteinfraktionen. Optimierte Blut- und Harnscreenings haben gegenüber Milchanalytik wichtige Vorteile. Sie sind eine wichtige Methode zur Gesundheits- und Leistungsstabilisierung durch exakte Ursachenanalyse und abgeleitete Prävention. Klinische Bedeutung: Als Standardspektrum für Screenings haben sich die fruchtbarkeitsrelevanten Parameter freie Fettsäuren, β-Hydroxybutyrat, Harn stoff, anorganisches Phosphat, CK, AP, Natrium, Kalium, Selen, Kupfer, β-Carotin und Netto-Säure- Basen-Ausscheidung bewährt. Sie sollten einmal pro Jahr/Herde, gegebenenfalls als kostengünstige Poolprobe für ca. 50 €, untersucht werden.
Will They Use What You Taught Them? Course-Embedded Assessment Of Accounting Students Information Technology Self-Efficacy
Authors: Moore John W. , Mitchem Cheryl E. 
Published: March 2016

This paper provides a model of course-embedded assessment for use in an undergraduate Accounting Information Systems course, and reports the results obtained from implementation. The profession’s educational objectives are mapped to specific computer skills and assignments, to provide direct evidence of learning outcomes. Indirect evidence of learning is provided by data collected with computer self-efficacy instrumentation. The paper addresses an important issue for persons entering the profession, in that they may have learned to use specific computer applications, but may lack the confidence in their own ability to use these skills. This may impact their ability to gain employment, or to maintain employment in accounting. The data collected may be employed to assess how well an AIS course supports the mission of its school, by demonstrating the acquisition of IT skills and the necessary self-efficacy to use those skills.

This study examines the role of teaching practices and teacher qualifications in explaining teacher quality. To accomplish this objective, the paper identifies the perceptions of business students on teacher quality, focusing on teacher qualifications and teaching practices components. Data for the study were collected from 218 college students enrolled in business and economics courses in one of the southeastern states university. The results show that the perceptions of students on teacher quality components vary. The emerging themes from the analysis of the students responses are that teaching skills, commitment to student learning, content knowledge and verbal skills are important attributes of a quality teacher.
A Domain Specific Innovativeness Perspective Of Student Enrollment In New Major Offerings
Authors: O'Donnell Joseph , Sauer Paul 
Published: March 2016

Colleges and universities have embraced educational innovation as a way to meet needs of students and provide flexibility in delivery of course content. Innovation includes launching new majors such as Digital Media Arts and Accounting Information Systems. Successful new majors must attract students to sustain the major and build a critical mass of students. Schools have often spent little time and effort on marketing new majors and targeting prospective students for the new major. It would be useful for schools to identify prospective students who are innovators, and more likely to enroll in new majors. Prior research on adoption of educational innovations has focused on the educators accepting and implementing new approaches. There is a paucity of research on students’ adoption of educational innovations. This study addresses this gap in the research Diffusion of Innovation research has identified that personal characteristics of the adopter influence the likelihood of if and when an individual will adopt an innovation. Goldsmith and Hofacker (1991) found that domain specific innovativeness (DSI) is a useful predictor for consumers purchasing new products. This study extends the application of the DSI scale to the student decision of whether to enroll or not to enroll in a new major. Two hundred and fifty-nine undergraduate business students enrolled in new and old majors were sampled in the study. Students completed a survey that included Goldsmith and Hofacker’s (1991) six item DSI scale adapted to the domain of new majors. Exploratory factor analysis identified that three of the six DSI items constituted a unidimensional scale which is consistent with Grewal, et. al (2000). The resulting scale demonstrated strong psychometric properties suggesting that the three item scale is well suited for measuring student innovativeness. Study results suggest higher levels of DSI, math SAT score, and high school average for students selecting a new major. Gender and verbal SAT scores do not differ significantly between new majors and old majors. The results of the study are useful to administrators interested in launching a new major and to academic researchers’ in understanding innovativeness in the context of students’ course of study decisions.

Published: March 2016

A evolução do conceito de projetos e o desenvolvimento e aceitação das metodologias e abordagens para seu planejamento e gerenciamento tem permitido sua aplicabilidade a diferentes áreas, realidades e culturas organizacionais. A busca por métodos e ferramentas capazes de conduzir seus projetos a um final bem-sucedido, a exemplo de um periódico científico, tem motivado muitas organizações a buscar, nas boas práticas de gestão de projetos, um melhor planejamento e gerenciamento. Nesse contexto, o objetivo deste trabalho é analisar o processo de produção de um periódico científico sob a ótica da gestão de projetos. Foi desenvolvido um estudo de caso único que verificou a aplicação dos processos de gestão de escopo, prazo e custo do projeto de produção de uma revista científica de especialidade médica. Como resultados, destaca-se que, mesmo não tendo conhecimento das boas práticas de gestão de projetos, a organização aplica algumas de suas ferramentas de maneira informal e embrionária. Foram identificados pontos que merecem atenção, pois impactam no atraso da veiculação da Revista. Proposições de melhorias foram apresentadas por meio da aplicação da metodologia da gestão de projetos, o que poderá contribuir para um melhor planejamento e gerenciamento do projeto.Abstract: The advancement of the concept of projects and the development and acceptation of methodologies and approaches for its planning and management, has permitted its applicability in different areas, realities and organizational cultures. The search for methods and instruments capable of conducting your project to a successful accomplishment, e.g. a scientific journal, has motivated many organizations to enhance planning and management by resorting to good project management practices. In this context, the objective of this paper is to analyze the process of making a scientific journal within a perspective of project management. A case study was developed that verified the application of management processes of scope, deadline and costs of the project of producing a specialized medical scientific journal. Within the results, emphasis goes to the fact that despite not having information about good project management practices, the organization applies some of its tools informally and embryonically. Some elements that impact on the delay of the magazines diffusion were identified as in need of enhancement. Improvement proposals were presented by applying project management methodologies that can contribute with enriched planning and project management. Keywords: Scientific Journal. Editing.

Se analiza la reutilización de las colecciones audiovisuales de las cadenas de televisión con el fin de detectar si se cumple el Índice de Pareto, facilitando mecanismos para su control y explotación de la parte de la colección audiovisual menos utilizada. Se detecta que la correlación de Pareto se establece no sólo en el uso sino también en la presencia de elementos temáticos y elementos onomásticos en el archivo y en la difusión de contenidos, por lo que se plantea formas de control en la integración de información en la colección y de recursos en la difusión. Igualmente se describe el Índice de Pareto, los Media Asset Management y el cambio de paradigma al digital, elementos fundamentales para entender los problemas y las soluciones para la eliminación de problemas en la recuperación y en la conformación de la colección.Abstract: Reuse of audiovisual collections television networks in order to detect whether the Pareto index, providing mechanisms for control and exploitation of the least used part of the audiovisual collection holds analyzed. It is found that the correlation of Pareto is established not only in the use but also the presence of thematic elements and onomastic elements in the file and in the distribution of content, so forms of control arises in the integration of information collection and distributing resources. Likewise, the Pareto index, the Media Asset Management and the paradigm shift to digital, essential to understanding the problems and solutions to eliminate problems in recovery and in the establishment of collection elements described.Keywords: Information processing.

Objetivo: Determinar la influencia de factores climáticos y del fenómeno El Niño 1997 – 1998 en la epidemiología de la bartonelosis en Ancash y Cusco, Perú. Materiales y Métodos: Se desarrolló un estudio ecológico. Se obtuvo información mensual climática de Urubamba y Carhuaz del SENAMHI, así como reporte de casos mensuales confirmados de la OGE, entre 1996 y 1999. Resultados: En los departamentos de Ancash y Cusco los coeficientes de correlación para los parámetros ambientales locales (temperatura máxima, media y mínima mensual, y precipitación total) no fueron estadísticamente significativos, mientras que la Temperatura Superficial del Mar fue el mejor parámetro que correlacionó con la tasa de incidencia de la bartonelosis, tanto a nivel local como regional. La tasa de incidencia de bartonelosis fue estadísticamente superior durante El Niño 1997 – 1998 en Ancash y Cusco, de manera simultanea. Conclusiones: Los incrementos significativos en la tasa de incidencia de bartonelosis durante El Niño en departamentos tan distantes como Ancash y Cusco de manera simultanea, evidencian que los factores climatológicos y el fenómeno El Niño modifican la epidemiología de la Bartonelosis humana.
