Examining social studies performance assignments of 5th grade primary school students
No full textAbstractPerformance assignments require students to show their development of high-level skills associated with their daily lives. The purpose of this study is to examine the Social Studies performance assignments of 5th grade primary school students in terms of format, content, language, and expression. In light of the results of the study, it can be stated that from within the group of natural disasters, students preferred to study “earthquakes”. They paid attention to format, page layout, and placing visual elements on their performance assignments. However, it was determined that all students made grammatical, and punctuation mistakes in their assignments
The Benefits of Being Economics Professor A (and not Z)
No full textAlphabetic name ordering on multi-authored academic papers, which is the convention in the economics discipline and various other disciplines, is to the advantage of people whose last name initials are placed early in the alphabet. As it turns out, Professor A, who has been a first author more often than Professor Z, will have published more articles and experienced afaster growth rate over the course of her career as a result of reputation and visibility. Moreover, authors know that name ordering matters and indeed take ordering seriously: Several characteristics of an author group composition determine the decision to deviate from the default alphabetic name order to a significant extent.performance measurement, incentives, economists, name ordering
Final word on Jersey Dutch
No full textIn this article, William Z. Shetter compares and contrasts the dialects that developed between different Dutch colonies in the New World. He explores in-depth the nuances of Jersey Dutch, and provides theories to explain how Dutch and colonial languages blended. The article is reprinted from American Speech, December 1958, Volum XXXIII, No. 4

Plant response to elevate carbon dioxide (chapter 7)
No full textIn consequence of the current increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration, a large research effort has been devoted to clarifying the response of plants and ecosystems to this peculiar aspect of global change. The results have often been contradictory, also in consequence of the different experimental techniques. Through recent years, attention has moved from single physiological processes, often investigated in artificial environments with the risk of experimental artefacts, to the analysis of whole ecosystems, examined, as far as possible, in their natural conditions.The chapter reviews the technical development in fumigation facilities, and the main experimental results, focusing in particular on forests and grasslands, including lichens and mosses. The response of glasshouse grown horticultural plants is also outlined. Finally, attention is devoted to the effects of elevated CO2 on soil and hypogeous growth, mineral nutrition and soil microbial populations; on these topics, many questions are still open, and research appears to be promising

Logarithmic variance profiles and the corresponding f-1 spectra of temperature fluctuations in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection
No full textWe report experimental results for the temperature variance 2(z) and the corresponding frequency spectra P(f) in turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard convection (RBC) in a cylindrical sample of aspect ratioT= D/L = 1:00 (D = 1:12 m is the diameter and L = 1:12 m the height). The measurements were conducted in the Rayleigh-number range 1011 < Ra < 1:35 1014 and Pr ' 0:8. For Ra = 1:35x1014, 2(z) could be described well by a logarithmic dependence on the vertical position z in a range of z 1 < z < z 2 with z 1 ' 70 and z 2 = 0:1L. Here L=(2Nu) is the thickness of a thin thermal sublayer adjacent to the horizontal plate where the heat flux (denoted by the Nusselt number Nu) is carried mostly by thermal diffusion. In the log layer, we found that the temperature spectra had a significant frequency range over which P(f) f with close to 1. As Ra decreased, increased so that the log layer became thinner. At Ra = 2:05 1011, z 2 < z 1 and therefore there was no range for a log layer. Correspondingly, the temperature spectrum near the horizontal plate did not have the f1 scaling form either
Nation-Building through National Education in Afghanistan
No full textBu proje, Bölge Çalışmaları Doktora Programı öğrencisi Zeynep Tuba Sungur tarafından Doç. Dr. Erdoğan Yıldırım’ın danışmanlığında ve Dr. Yahia Baiza’nın eş-danışmanlığında yürütülmekte olan tez çalışmasının önemli bir kısmını oluşturmaktadır. Bölge Çalışmaları; bir bölge, ülke veya yöre temelinde belirlenmiş bir meselenin, yerinde saha çalışması ve yerel dilde kaynak kullanımı ile interdisipliner ve bütüncül bir biçimde çalışıldığı akademik alanı ifade eder. Bu kapsamda kurgulanmış olan bu tez çalışmasında, Afganistan’daki mevcut ulus devlet inşası süreci ele alınmakta; bu süreç, Afgan milli kimliğinin Afgan devleti tarafından milli eğitim yoluyla inşa edilmesi özelinde incelenmektedir. Konu itibarıyla interdisipliner bir biçimde Sosyoloji ve Eğitim Bilimlerini bir araya getiren olan bu tez çalışması üç farklı metodun kullanılacağı üç aşamadan oluşmaktadır: (1) Afganistan’da devlet okullarında okutulan ders kitaplarının (Farsça) incelenmesi; (2) Afgan devletinin ulus inşası politikalarını anlayabilmek amacıyla Afganistan Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı ile yapılması planlanan mülakatlar; ve (3) Afganistan’da seçilecek devlet okullarında gözlem. Öz itibarıyla bu şekilde tanımlanabilecek olan bu tez çalışmasının birinci aşaması TÜBİTAK Yurt Dışı Araştırma Bursu ile destekli olarak Z. Tuba Sungur ve Afgan eş-danışmanı Dr. Yahia Baiza tarafından İngiltere’de gerçekleştirilecektir. Yapılmakta olan bu BAP başvurusu ise bu tezin Afganistan’da saha çalışmasını içeren ikinci ve üçüncü aşamala
