Social responsibility of media on environmental dangers: Warning productions
Authors: Cereci Sedat 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
Environmental problems are the most serious matters which are caused by electrical and electronical and technological conditions in the world. Media are the most common instruments in the world and numerous messages are conveyed via media, even warnings or threats. Media have sovereignty on people and have power to persuade people and to persuade administrators. All topics and all matters can be used by media and media can change all matters to attractive topics and media can set a fantastic imaginary world for people. Environmental matters are sometimes used by media but media ususally focus sensational dimensions of environment and serious problems about environment are generally ignored. Media have many facilities and great power to warn people about environmental risks and envitonmental dangers and environmental responsibilities.

Simulated apprenticeship for pre-service Filipino teachers
Authors: Medula Cesar Turqueza 
Published: November 2017

The delivery of teacher education courses often for the most part deal with the visible parts of knowledge, the "know-what", which is often disconnected from the tacit knowledge, the "know-how", required in authentic teaching environments. It could be argued that would-be teachers do undergo practice teaching as part of their preparations and before becoming licensed professionals but said experience could be very brief. Said transitory period of practice-teaching may not be enough to internalize the range of skills and strategies that the new teachers need in facing the rigors of the real classroom setting. The purpose of this empirical study is to explore the impact of simSchool, a computer-based classroom simulator to the pedagogical style and expertise of pre-service Filipino teachers. The study utilized a quasi-experimental design. Purposefully, the study involved thirty (30) randomly selected practicum teacher education senior students. Two Likert-type survey instruments were used in the study and qualitative data were as well collected through teaching reflections and focus group discussions to supplement the quantitative data. For the statistical analyses, descriptive statistics were determined, Paired-Samples t Tests was used to determine pre-post differences within groups and Cohenâ€™s d was used to determine effect sizes across measurement indices.Â Findings of the study revealed that simschool enhanced the pedagogical style and proficiency of the pre-service teachers and interestingly could complement effectually the in-placed practicum course. These suggest the promising progressive impact of simSchool, if adapted, to the existing teacher education program.

With rapid developments being made in science and technology, there is also an increasing need for different educational methods. Distance education allows increased access to education and more flexibility for the students. This descriptive study was conducted to establish the opinions of nursing students about distance education being adopted for the first time. The study comprised 261 nursing students, who were applied a data collection form in class. Of these students, 55.6% stated that they had problems while taking courses through distance education, 83.1% stated that it was not beneficial, 90.8% stated that distance education could not be used for applied vocational courses. It was found the mean scale scores were lower for the students who thought that distance education was not beneficial, who would like to take these courses through formal education and who believed that the applied vocational courses could not be provided through distance education. The students had difficulties in accessing the internet during the courses. The students' attitudes towards distance education were at moderate level and the negative conditions adversely affected the students' opinions. In addition, the majority of the students thought that the vocational courses could not be made through distance education, and this is considered to be a positive finding.Â Keywords: Nursing education, nursing student, simulation.Â Keywords: Distance education; nursing students; nursing education

A jelen, korábbi hazai előzményekkel nem rendelkező kutatás során a célunk az volt, hogy meghatározzuk, mely nyelvi, nyelvi-szocializációs és nyelvhasználati tényezők csökkentik és növelik a siketek munkaerőpiaci lehetőségeit és gazdasági aktivitását, valamint, hogy rámutassunk a családi és az iskolai nyelvi tervezés, illetőleg az oktatás nyelve, az ettől elválaszthatatlan módszertani kérdések és a munkaerőpiaci sikeresség szoros összefüggésére. A kérdőíves vizsgálatunk eredményei megerősítették, hogy a korai (vizuális) nyelvhez való hozzáférés és a nyelvi szocializáció kritikus szerepet játszik a későbbi sikeresség szempontjából. Több korábbi vizsgálatunkhoz hasonlóan e kutatás is felszínre hozta és a gyakorlatban is igazolta a ma hozzáférhető oktatás sikerességének megkérdőjelezhető voltát, hiszen még az érettségivel vagy magasabb végzettséggel rendelkezők számára is igen komoly nehézséget okozott a kérdések és egyes fogalmak értelmezése.
On the Performance of Some Biased Estimators in a Misspecified Model with Correlated Regressors
Authors: Chandra Shalini , Tyagi Gargi 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
In this paper, the effect of misspecification due to omission of relevant variables on the dominance of the r -(k,d) class estimator proposed by Özkale (2012), over the ordinary least squares (OLS) estimator and some other competing estimators when some of the regressors in the linear regression model are correlated, have been studied with respect to the mean squared error criterion. A simulation study and numerical example have been demostrated to compare the performance of the estimators for some selected values of the parameters involved.

Correlation and Calibration of Soil‐Test Potassium from Different Soil Depths for Full‐Season Soybean on Coarse‐Textured Soils
Authors: Williams Anna S. , Parvej Md. Rasel , Holshouser David L. , Frame William H. , Reiter Mark S. 
Published: November 2017

Core Ideas
Soil K at 0‐ to 15‐ and 0‐ to 30‐cm depths were excellent predictors of full‐season soybean relative yield.Tissue‐K concentration can be used for calibrating fertilizer‐K rate and in‐season K management.Soil sampling to 30‐cm depth would reduce fertilizer amount and cost for soybean on low cation exchange capacity soils.
Quantifying soil‐K availabilities at deeper depths may be necessary to determine optimum fertilizer‐K rate for soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] grown on low cation exchange capacity (CEC) soils that are prone to K leaching. We characterized full‐season soybean response to fertilizer‐K across 19 coarse‐textured low‐CEC sites during 2013 and 2014. Mehlich‐1 soil‐K concentrations at 0‐ to 15‐ and 0‐ to 30‐cm depths better correlated with relative yield and explained 90% of relative yield variation compared to 77% for 0‐ to 60‐cm depth. Critical soil‐K concentrations were similar for relative yield, V5 plant‐K concentration, and R2 leaf‐K concentration, ranging from 48 to 73 mg K kg−1 for 0‐ to 15‐cm and 41 to 63 mg K kg−1 for 0‐ to 30‐cm depths. Soil‐K concentrations less than this critical range accurately predicted positive yield responses to fertilizer‐K 89% of the time for 0‐ to 15‐cm and 80% for 0‐ to 30‐cm depths. Plant‐ and leaf‐K concentrations were equally good in predicting relative yield with critical concentrations of 19 to 22 g plant K kg−1 and 18 to 21 g leaf K kg−1. Plant‐K concentration was better than leaf‐K concentration in diagnosing K‐deficient sites. Calibration model confirmed that soybean requires no fertilizer‐K to maximize yield for soil‐K concentrations above the critical ranges at both depths. However, for K‐deficient soils, soil‐K concentrations at 0‐ to 30‐cm depth resulted in 7 to 32% less fertilizer‐K requirements than 0‐ to 15‐cm depth, indicating the value of deeper sample in recommending fertilizer‐K for soybean grown on coarse‐textured low‐CEC soils.

Published: November 2017

ABSTRACTBiological nitrogen fixation is a valuable component of sustainable agriculture. Improved understanding of nodulation pathways can facilitate enhancement of nitrogen utilization‐related traits. Previously, a cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] mutant, ‘IC‐1’, with ineffective nodules was identified. Heritability studies indicated that ineffective nodulation in IC‐1 was controlled by a single gene designated cpi. To map cpi, F2 mapping populations were developed from crosses between IC‐1 and two commercial cowpea cultivars. The F2 populations were evaluated for leaf and nodule color, nitrogen content, dry plant weight, nodule number, and nodule fresh weight. Nitrogen content, aboveground plant dry weight, and nodule fresh weight were each significantly lower in individuals with ineffective nodulation, whereas nodule number was significantly higher. Ninety individuals from one population were selected and genotyped with the Cowpea iSelect Consortium single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array. In total, 6083 polymorphic SNPs were used for linkage map construction and quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis. A major QTL accounting for nearly 50% of the phenotypic variance was identified on linkage group (LG) 4 associated with all traits except nodule fresh weight, whereas a minor QTL for nodule fresh weight was mapped to LG 6. The major QTL was validated in a second F2 population with several polymerase chain reaction markers. Identification of these QTL provides a foundation for future identification of the cpi gene and potential loci for targeted improvement of nitrogen‐related traits in cowpea.
Analytical Method to Determine Soil Hydraulic Properties from Vertical Infiltration Experiments

Published: November 2017

Core Ideas
A new method was proposed to determine Brooks‐Corey (BC) model parameters.
Only a vertical infiltration experiment and simple measurements were required.
The new method has great potentials to be applied in situ on various scales.
Soil hydraulic properties are basic inputs for simulating water and solute transport in the vadose zone. Many methods have been developed to directly measure or indirectly estimate soil hydraulic properties. However, low‐cost, simple and robust methods are still scarce even in a laboratory. Here we present a new analytical method, based on an approximate solution to the one‐dimensional vertical infiltration problem that can be used to determine Brooks–Corey model parameters. Measurements include cumulative infiltration, wetting front advance with time, and initial and final upper boundary water contents, during a one‐dimensional vertical infiltration experiment. Infiltration experiments with twelve disturbed soils were performed to test the new method. The results indicated that the estimated saturated hydraulic conductivities from transient infiltration processes were consistent with those measured with a constant‐head method. The estimated soil water retention curves (SWRCs) by the analytical method for the twelve soils were in agreement with those measured by a direct method in which soil water potentials were measured through tensiometers. The root mean square error (RMSE) of the estimated soil water contents by the new method were less than 0.045 cm3 cm–3 for the twelve soils. Compared to most direct methods, the new method is inexpensive, rapid and easy to use, and thus can be a substitute for direct methods in a laboratory. Although how to monitor representative wetting front remains unsolved, the new method has a potential for use in the future in determining in situ soil hydraulic properties where lateral flows are negligible.
Comparative evaluation of three infiltration models for runoff and erosion prediction in the Loess Plateau region of China
Authors: Cheng Zhuo , Yu Bofu , Fu Suhua , Liu Gang 
Published: November 2017

Abstract
Loess Plateau is known for its high rate of soil erosion. Infiltration models are needed to simulate runoff hydrograph for erosion prediction. Rainfall-runoff data at 1-min interval for 33 plot-events in Tuanshangou catchment were used to evaluate three infiltration models: constant infiltration (CI) rate, spatially variable infiltration (VI) rate, and Green–Ampt (GA). Each of the three models has three parameters. The three models performed similarly when calibrated for individual storms with a Nash–Sutcliffe coefficient (NSC) of efficiency of around 0.76, with better performance for large storm events. For all three models, the total runoff amount is well simulated while the modelled peak runoff rate is systematically smaller by about 30%. The variation in the initial infiltration amount is smaller than that in other infiltration parameters. For ungauged events, averaged parameter values were used to predict runoff hydrographs, and the results showed a decrease in model performance with the average NSC reduced to 0.47. One advantage in using the spatially VI model is that the simulated runoff is least sensitive to changes in model parameters compared with the other two models, as a 10% variation in parameter values would lead to 5% variations on average in the simulated runoff for VI, while around 8.6% for the other two.
