Where Participatory Approaches Meet Pragmatism in Funded (Health) Research: The Challenge of Finding Meaningful Spaces
No full textThe term participatory research is now widely used as a way of categorising research that has moved beyond researching "on" to researching "with" participants. This paper draws attention to some confusions that lie behind such categorisation and the potential impact of those confusions on qualitative participatory research in practice. It illuminates some of the negative effects of "fitting in" to spaces devised by other types of research and highlights the importance of forging spaces for presenting participatory research designs that suit a discursive approach and that allow the quality and impact of such research to be recognised. The main contention is that the adoption of a variety of approaches and purposes is part of the strength of participatory research but that to date the paradigm has not been sufficiently articulated. Clarifying the unifying features of the participatory paradigm and shaping appropriate ways for critique could support the embedding of participatory research into research environments, funding schemes and administration in a way that better reflects the nature and purpose of authentic involvement
Analysis of the remedies in administrative procedure
No full textPravna sredstva so z zakonom določena pravna orodja, ki strankam v upravnem postopku zagotavljajo izpodbijanje nezakonitih upravnih aktov. Slovenski Zakon o splošnem upravnem postopku (ZUP) določa eno redno pravno sredstvo – pritožba in pet izrednih pravnih sredstev. Namen raziskave je ugotoviti razmerje med vlaganjem pravnih sredstev v upravnem postopku na ravni upravnih enot in rezultate primerjati z drugimi organi javne uprave. Opravljena statistična metoda izkazov o delu organov javne uprave ugotavlja, da je na ravni upravnih enot vloženih 70 % pritožb, na ravni izbranih organov javne uprave pa 80 % pritožb, kar predstavlja približno tri četrtine vloženih pravnih sredstev.
Absolutne bistvene postopkovne napake ZUP navaja v 2. odstavku 237. člena in predstavljajo hujše kršitve, ki vplivajo na pravilnost in zakonitost odločb. Analiza sodne prakse absolutnih bistvenih postopkovnih napak s pomočjo induktivne in deskriptivne metode ter analize znanstvene literature ugotavlja, da je v 60 % vseh analiziranih sodnih odločb in sklepov najpogosteje kršena 7. točka 2. odstavka 237. člena ZUP.
Analiza pravnih sredstev in absolutnih bistvenih postopkovnih napak bo lahko pozitivno vplivala na delo uslužbencev v organih javne uprave, ki se dnevno srečujejo s primeri kršitev in posledično primeri pritožb. Na podlagi tega bodo na te kršitve bolj pozorni in se jih bodo trudili odpraviti. Prav tako ima delo pozitiven vpliv na stranke, ki nastopajo v upravnem postopku, saj bodo tudi one lahko bolj pozorne na kršitve, ki se pogosteje pojavljajo.Remedies are legal tools established by law to ensure that parties to an administrative procedure can challenge unlawful administrative acts. The Slovenian General Administrative Procedure Act provides for one ordinary remedy - an appeal - and five extraordinary remedies. The aim of the survey is to establish the relationship between the filing of administrative appeals at the level of administrative units and to compare the results with other public authorities. The statistical method carried out on the accounts of the work of the public administration bodies shows that 70% of complaints are lodged at the level of the administrative units and 80% of complaints at the level of the selected public administration bodies, representing about three quarters of the appeals lodged.
Absolute essential procedural errors are listed in Article 237(2) of the ZUP and constitute serious infringements affecting the correctness and legality of decisions. The analysis of the case-law on absolute fundamental procedural errors using inductive and descriptive methods and the analysis of the scientific literature concludes that in 60% of all decisions and orders analysed, Article 237(2)(7) of the Civil Procedure Code is the most frequently infringed provision.
The analysis of remedies and absolute fundamental procedural errors may have a positive impact on the work of civil servants, who are confronted with cases of misconduct and, consequently, cases of complaints on a daily basis. As a result, they will be more attentive to these infringements and will try hard to rectify them. The work also has a positive impact on the parties involved in the administrative procedure, as they will also be able to pay more attention to the infringements that occur more frequently
Marketing communication of sports and e-sports organizations
No full textMagistrsko delo predstavlja marketinško komuniciranje, uporabo le-tega znotraj športnih in e-športnih organizacij ter razlike, ki jih lahko na področju marketinga opazimo med obema vrstama organizacij. Z metodo primerjalne analize in ankete smo ugotavljali, kakšne so glavne razlike med športnimi in e-športnimi organizacijami z vidika ciljnega občinstva, podobe in predstavitve blagovne znamke, sponzorstva, glavnih ciljev marketinga in prisotnosti na družbenih omrežjih. Ugotovili smo, da se športne organizacije pri marketinškem komuniciranju najbolj opirajo na sponzorstvo, očitna pa je tudi pogostejša uporaba tradicionalnih medijev. Nasprotno, e-športne organizacije najpogosteje uporabljajo digitalni marketing preko družbenih omrežij.The master\u27s thesis presents marketing communication, its use within sports and e-sports organisations, and the differences that can be observed in the field of marketing between both types of organisations. Using the method of comparative analysis and survey, we determined the main differences between sports and e-sports organizations from the perspective of target audience, brand image and presentation, sponsorship, main marketing goals, and presence on social networks. We found that sports organisations rely most on sponsorship in marketing communication, and the more frequent use of traditional media is also evident. On the contrary, e-sports organisations most often use digital marketing via social network
USE OF CONDUCTING IN MUSIC LESSONS
No full textDirigiranje je sestavina vsake ure glasbene vzgoje, brez katerega ne moremo dobiti usklajenega razrednega petja. Namen diplomske naloge je bil, na slučajnostnem vzorcu razrednih učiteljev raziskati uporabo dirigiranja. Empirična raziskava se je osredotočila na razliko glede uporabe dirigiranja in poučevanja novih pesmi med razrednimi učitelji Štajerske in Dolenjske regije. Sodeloval je 201 učitelj. Rezultati so bili zbrani s tehniko anketiranja. S pomočjo 2_testa je bilo ugotovljeno, da med štajerskimi in dolenjskimi učitelji obstaja verjetnost statistično pomembne razlike v uporabi dirigiranja pri poučevanju glasbene vzgojein sicer da se pri štajerskih učiteljih dirigiranje pri pouku uporablja v večji meri kot pri njihovih kolegih z Dolenjske. Rezultati so opozorili na razliko v uporabi dirigiranja med učiteljicami glede na razred poučevanja in dejstvo ali je učitelj vodja interesne dejavnosti. Za nakazovanje tempa, dinamike in drugih glasbenih sestavin pri poučevanju novih pesmi, učitelji največkrat uporabljajo preproste gibe. Ugotovljeno je bilo, da učitelji najbolj pogosto naletijo na težave pri nakazovanju mešane mere, pomoč pri dirigiranju si v večini poiščejo pri kolegu učitelju ter da ne razmišljajo o dodatnem strokovnem izobraževanju s področja dirigiranja. Nastalo razliko se lahko pripiše študijskim izkušnjam anketiranih učiteljev. Dirigiranje pomaga k estetskemu petju, zato se mora uporaba pri pouku v čim večji meri vzpodbujati.Conducting is a component of every music lesson, without which there cannot be a consistent class singing. The purpose of the diploma thesis was to research the use of conducting on random sample of class teachers. The empirical research focused on difference in use of conducting and teaching new songs between class teachers of Styria and Lower Carniola region. 201 teachers participated. Results were collected with survey technique. With the help of c2_test, it was established that there exists a possibility of statistically important difference in use of conducting at music teaching with Styria and Lower Carniola teachers, namely with Styria teachers, conducting at lessons is used to a larger extent with Styria teachers than with their colleagues in Lower Carniola. Results warned of difference in use of conducting among teachers according to class of teaching and the fact whether the teacher is a mentor of extracurricular activity. Most times, teachers use simple motions to signal tempo, dynamics etc. with teaching new songs. It was established that teachers most often run into trouble at signalling mixed measurement, and in majority cases seek help at conducting with a colleague teacher and do not consider additional professional education in the area of conducting. The resulting difference can be attributed to study experiences of surveyed teachers. Conducting helps to aesthetic singing, and must therefore be encouraged to be used at lessons to the maximum extent possibl

Who says it's still a man's world?: questioning the myth of male privilege in America
No full textWomen in our American society today claim they must continue their fight for equality. Statistics are often cited regarding the wage gap and violent acts against women as proof that women are denied the same rights and protection as males. This paper argues that in many situations men are often denied the same rights and privileges that women have today. This discussion concentrates mainly on family law proceedings as well as criminal court cases and investigations in which men are not given equal consideration. Primacy for women’s issues had its time and place, but now it appears as though the pendulum has swung too far and as a result our society is losing empathy for men.M.A.L.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Tina D.

[[alternative]]An Experimental Research on Digital Circuit Skill Instruction Using TINA and EWB Computer Assisted Courseware
No full text[[abstract]]The purpose of this study was to investigate the instruction achievement of computer assisted instruction(CAI) on digital circuit skill instruction, with TINA, EWB and a self-developed multimedia system as skill instruction courseware.
The nonequivalent pretest-posttest design is used to test the effectiveness of two new CAI methods. Electronic Workbench (EWB) is a simulation training system, and Toolkit for Interactive Network Analysis (TINA) is a training system with additional test cards. Both of EWB and TINA systems were developed for digital circuit training. Thirty six students were selected from Taipei Municipal Sung-Shan Vocational Industrial-Agricultural School as experimental objects. They were divided into two groups. The experimental group used TINA system and the comparison group used EWB system for studying digital circuit skill. The achievement of knowledge and skill in both two groups were evaluated through the posttest. The retention test was given to the students three times week after week to check their learning condition.
The results of this research was summaried as the followings;
1.In knowledge studying, there is no significant difference between experimental group and comparison group；but in skill learning，there is significance between these two groups. The achievement of experimental group is higher than the comparison group. Therefore the effectiveness of EWB is no less than that of TINA in knowledge instruction, and the effectiveness of TINA is higher than that of EWB in skill learning.
2. The satisfaction of experimental group is higher than comparison group in courseware and environment design. The students preferred to study skill with both hands and brain.
3. In the retention of knowledge and skill abilities, there is no significant difference between experimental group and comparison group. But the average score of experimental group is higher than that of comparison group. Therefore the retention of learning system with both hands and brain is better than that of a pure simulation learning system on digital circuit skill instruction.
Keywords: computer assisted instruction(CAI), TINA, EWB, digital circuit learning, retention.
