No full textالملخص هدفت الدراسة الحالية إلى معرفة مستوى تقدير الذات وعلاقته بأخلاقيات الوظيفة لدى العاملين والمتقاعدين في الأردن، ولتحقيق هدف الدراسة تم إعداد مقياسين وهما مقياس تقدير الذات وتكون من (38) فقرة، ومقياس أخلاقيات الوظيفة والذي تكون من (66) فقرة موزعة على خمسة أبعاد، واستخرج لهما مؤشرات الصدق والثبات، وطبق المقياسان على عينة الدراسة المكونة من (747) عاملاً ومتقاعداً من مديريات تربية محافظة البلقاء، بواقع (605) عاملاً (142) متقاعداُ اختيروا بالطريقة العشوائية البسيطة من مجتمع الدراسة، وأظهرت نتائج الدراسة إلى وجود مستوى متوسط من تقدير الذات لدى العاملين والمتقاعدين في الأردن، كما أظهرت النتائج وجود مستوى متوسط من أخلاقيات الوظيفة لدى العاملين والمتقاعدين في الأردن، في حين ظهرت فروق ذات دلالةٍ إحصائيةٍ عند مستوى دلالة (0.05≥α) في مستوى تقدير الذات بين العاملين والتقاعدين ولصالح العاملين من الاناث تعزى للجنس ، ووجود فروق ذات دلالةٍ إحصائيةٍ عند مستوى دلالة (0.05≥α) في مستوى أخلاقيات الوظيفة بين العاملين والمتقاعدين ولصالح المتقاعدين من الإناث ، ووجود علاقة ارتباطية إيجابية ذات دلالة معنوية بين تقدير الذات وأخلاقيات الوظيفة لدى العاملين والمتقاعدين في الأردن. وأوصت الدراسة بضرورة المحافظة على مستوى مرتفع من تقدير الذات لدى العاملين والمتقاعدين في الأردن؛ لكي يستمر لديهم الشعور بالرضا والسعادة وبالتالي التزامهم بسلوكيات أخلاقية وظيفية حميدة في بيئة العمل.Abstract This study aimed at exploring the level of self-esteem and its relationship with the job ethics among employees and retirees in Jordan. To achieve the objective of study, two measures have been developed: the self-assessment scale; consisting of (38) items and the ethics of the job scale; consisting of (66) items, and were measured against five dimensions. Reliability and validity of both instruments have been obtained. Both scales have been administered on a sample of (747) workers and retirees from the directorates of Balqa Governorate: (605) workers and (142) retirees, who were selected using simple random method. The results of study showed that there was a medium level of self-esteem among workers and retirees in Jordan. There were statistically significant differences of (a≤0.05) in the levels of self-esteem among workers and retirees due to gender and in favor of females workers. There were also statistically significant differences of (a≤0.05) in the level of job ethics among workers and retirees in favor of females retirees. The results revealed a positive correlation of moral significance between the self-esteem and the ethics of job among workers and retirees in Jordan
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
قيم التنوع الثقافي المتضمنة في أدب الأطفال
Get PDFAbstract: This study investigated the cultural diversity values embedded in children’s stories of the age of 8-12 years in the Arab World presented by the characters of the stories taking, Jordan as a case study. The following questions were raised: 1- What are the cultural diversity values embedded in children stories for the age of 8-12 years? 2- What are the of characters in children stories in terms of gender (male – female), age (child-adult-old), and types (human-animal) that represented these values? A thorough revision was included for the stories of children. Thirty-three stories were chosen and analyzed using a developed checklist of the cultural diversity values, and Child, Potter & Levine (1971) classification of characters. Findings revealed that the cultural diversity values in children’s stories were not sufficient as they should be according to the used scale.

Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
