Zhvillimi i arsimit special ne Kosove
Get PDFChildren with disabilities and impaired vision till the early 1950’s, from Kosova were sent to the only specialized school o f this kind in Zemun, Serbia. Albanian children and adolescents faced with problems at this school for not being familiar to Serbian and Croatian languages, and hardly found adaptation on completely different setting and conditions. Having in mind the urgent need for specialized schools, the Associations of Blind and D eaf people in Kosova initiated request to respective institutions for establishing adequate facilities. As a result o f this engagement, initially in Mitrovica in the beginning o f 1950’s opened the first schools for children with vision and hearing impairment. Nevertheless these were not adequately specialized, but a kind o f combination between school and dormitory accommodating children with such needs. Specialized schools operating in Kosova during the last century were in: Peja for children and youngsters with the vision impairment; special school o f the speech and hearing impairment in Prizren; specialized schools for the impairment o f intellectual development in Prizren, Prishtina and Mitrovica. Except for the schools o f specialized education o f children with impairments, classes have been established with children in regular elementary schools. Number o f the classes continually increased from 1970’s until present. In Kosova recently are employed six assistant teachers (experts) who assist teaching staff in the educational process. A classroom can accommodate one or two children with special needs.Edukimi dhe arsimi special daton nga gjysma e shekullit XIX kur formohen entet e para edukative-arsimore për fëmijët me të meta në zhvillim fizik dhe psikik.1 Institucionet e para të edukimit special kishin karakter filantropik. mëshirues dhe kishin për qëllim që të informonin opinionin për mundësitë e arsimimit. të edukimit dhe të aftësimit për punë të fëmijëve dhe të rinjve me të meta fizike dhe psikike. Për këtë qëllim. në ish-Jugosllavi hapën shkollat e para. së pari për fëmijë të verbër dhe pastaj për shurdhmemecë. në mbarim të shekullit XIX si në Goricë, në Mitrovicë të Sremit. në Zagreb. në Beograd. në Lublanë. në Zemun etj. Deri në vitin 1958 as në nivel të Jugosllavisë (kuptohet edhe në Kosovë) nuk ishte përcaktuar me ligj çështja e arsimit special. Tek prej këtij vitit arsimi fillor tetëvjeçar bëhet i obligueshëm. në kuadër të saj edhe arsimi fillor special
Research on the Influence of Social Networks on the Manifestation of Aggression in Adolescents
Get PDFПідлітки – найбільш активна, а отже, і найбільш вразлива категорія інтернет-користувачів. Метою цього дослідження є вивчити взаємозв’язок між показниками залежності від соціальних мереж та агресії в підлітків 11–14 років. Методи. Застосовано такі методи дослідження: серед учасників було проведено опитування для збору інформації; тестування проводили з використанням стандартизованих методик, як-от опитувальник агресії Басса-Перрі, тест на інтернет-залежність Кімберлі Янг та шкала проблемного використання інтернету; дані були проаналізовані за допомогою ретельного статистичного аналізу. Зокрема, застосовано t-критерій Стьюдента, кореляційний аналіз із розрахунком коефіцієнта Пірсона, а також використано аналітичну платформу Statista 8.0. Результати. У дослідженій вибірці виявлено високий рівень загальної агресії (22.0% продемонстрували високий рівень). Статистично значущої відмінності в рівні агресії між хлопцями й дівчатами виявлено не було. Встановлено значну пряму кореляцію між показниками агресії та рівнем інтернет-залежності. Аналізування кореляції між рівнем агресії з використанням соціальних мереж не показав суттєвого зв’язку між цими ознаками в загальній популяції. Виявлено прямий зв’язок між агресією та використанням соціальних мереж у респондентів із високим рівнем залежності. Зв’язок між інтернет-залежністю та залежністю від соціальних мереж проявився по-різному між статями: хлопці демонстрували більш виражену прив’язаність до інтернету в цілому, тоді як дівчата були більш залежними від спілкування в соціальних мережах. Дискусія і висновки. Результати показали, що існує кореляція між залежністю від соціальних мереж та агресією, але вона не є лінійною. Необхідно дослідити додаткові фактори, які сприяють більш високому рівню агресії у дітей та молоді. Отримані результати сприяють розумінню взаємозв’язку між використанням соціальних мереж і рівнями агресії, що є частиною ширшої проблеми трансформації соціальних відносин під впливом інформаційних технологій. У практичному плані дані можуть бути використані при плануванні роботи соціальними педагогами й батькам, для корекції поведінки та соціальної адаптації підлітків.Teenagers are the most active, and, therewith, the most vulnerable segment of Internet users. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between indicators of social network addiction and aggression in adolescents aged 11–14. Methods. The study’s methods were as follows: a survey was distributed to participants to collect information; testing was done using standardized instruments such as “The Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire”, the Kimberly Young Internet Addiction Test, and the Problematic Internet Use Scale; and the data was analyzed using rigorous statistical analysis. This included the Student’s t-test, correlation analysis with Pearson coefficient calculations, and the use of the Statista 8.0 analysis platform. Results. A high level of general aggression was identified in the sample examined (22.0% demonstrated a high level). No statistically significant difference was identified in the level of aggression between boys and girls. A significant positive correlation was identified between aggression indicators and the level of Internet addiction. An analysis of the correlation between the level of aggression using social media demonstrated no significant association between these traits in the general population. A positive relationship was identified between aggression and social media use in respondents with high levels of addiction. The connection between Internet addiction and social media addiction manifested itself differently between the sexes: boys demonstrated a more pronounced attachment to the Internet in general, while girls were more dependent on social media communication. Discussion and conclusions. The results demonstrate that there is a correlation between social network addiction and aggression, but it is not linear. Additional factors that contribute to higher levels of aggression in children and young people should be explored. The findings contribute to an understanding of the relationship between social network use and levels of aggression, which is part of the broader problem of the transformation of social relations under the influence of information technology. In practical terms, the data can be used in planning the work of social educators and parents to correct the behaviour and social adaptation of adolescents
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
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
