Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich Pädagogik - Schulpädagogik, Note: 1,3, Universität Koblenz-Landau, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Betrachtet man die aktuellen medialen Möglichkeiten von Schülerinnen und Schülern, so fällt es den Lehrpersonen in der heutigen Zeit immer schwerer, diese für die Inhalte des Unterrichts zu begeistern oder anders gesagt: zu Motivieren. Selten besteht die Möglichkeit, innerhalb eines Schulgebäudes für einen Überraschungseffekt oder ein Staunen zu sorgen, denn Filme und Bilder zu Themen des Unterrichts zu erhalten erfordert meist nur einen Suchbegriff und ein paar Klicks mit der Maus des Computers. Dies stellt Lehrerinnen und Lehrer vor eine große Herausforderung, sind doch gerade diese Effekte so förderlich für ihren Unterricht. Aus diesem Grund ist es notwendig, Medien zu verwenden, die Schülerinnen und Schüler nicht eigenständig substituieren können, wie zum Beispiel einen außerschulischen Lernort. Denn erinnert man sich an die eigene Schulzeit, so sind es doch gerade Ausflüge und Exkursionen, die einem in guter Erinnerung geblieben sind. Will man verstehen, warum die Effektivität eines Lernorts außerhalb des Schulgebäudes so groß ist, so ist die Betrachtung des motivationalen Aspekts erforderlich. Dazu wird im Rahmen dieser Arbeit zunächst die Selbstbestimmungstheorie nach Deci & Ryan betrachtet. Mit Einbezug der psychologischen Basisbedürfnisse und der unterschiedlichen Arten von Motivation soll sich der Thematik aus theoretischer Sicht genähert und eine Basis für die Interpretation des Schülerinterviews gelegt werden. Wie die Motivation der Exkursionsteilnehmer beobachtet werden kann, soll durch die genaue Aufschlüsselung des Fragenkatalogs aus dem Interview ermittelt werden. Im Anschluss daran soll explizit auf das Konstrukt des außerschulischen Lernens eingegangen werden. Nach theoretischer Betrachtung des gemeinen außerschulischen Lernortes soll dann die Besonderheit der Gedenkstätte, die diesen Beobachtungen zugrunde liegt hervorgehoben werden. Es handelt sich bei dem von mir gewählten Lernort um die Gedenkstätte des Konzentrationslagers Buchenwald in der Nähe von Weimar. Es soll überprüft werden, ob die teilweise auftretenden emotionalen Belastungen einer solchen Gedenkstätte einen Einfluss auf die Lernmotivation der Schülerinnen und Schüler hat. Des Weiteren kann zum Vergleich des Lernverhaltens auf persönliche Erfahrungen mit der Klasse im Regelunterricht zurückgegriffen werden. Abschließend werden die Ergebnisse ausgewertet und ein Fazit zur Eignung einer solchen Gedenkstätte als außerschulischer Lernort gezogen.…

Im Rahmen des Projekts 'Bedingungen der sozialen Teilhabe in der Grundschule' wurde eine quantitative Umfrage durchgeführt. Es nahmen dritte und vierte Klassen deutscher Regelgrundschulen im näheren Umkreis von Paderborn an der Untersuchung teil. Die Umfrage zielte darauf ab, Aspekte der vier Förderschwerpunkte Lernen, sozial - emotionale Entwicklung, geistige Entwicklung sowie körperliche Entwicklung zu beleuchten. Bei einer Stichprobengröße von N = 244 wurden Fragen zu persönlichen Einstellungen, Wahrnehmung der Elterneinstellungen, Selbstbild und Klassenzusammenhalt gestellt, wobei in dieser Arbeit der Schwerpunkt auf den Förderschwerpunkten Lernen und sozial-emotionale Entwicklung, sowie den Einstellungen der Eltern liegt. Anhand von t-Tests für unabhängige Stichproben konnte herausgefunden werden, dass Mädchen signifikant positivere Einstellungen zu Kindern mit sonderpädagogischem Förderbedarf haben als Jungen. Des Weiteren konnte festgestellt werden, dass Kinder, die das Elternverhalten bezüglich Inklusion als positiv wahrnehmen, auch signifikant positiver eingestellt sind.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1, Catholic University Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, language: English, abstract: At first sight 'A Good Man Is Hard to Find' by Flannery O`Connor just appears like a grotesque story because it begins with a happy family trip and ends with a conversation about Jesus and six murders. But if the story is read under the aspect of religion, it has indeed got a deeper meaning. The fact that the author herself was a very religious woman, as will be obvious from her biography, and that religion appears in all of her works, shows that this short story can only be interpreted with the focus on religion. 24 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Examensarbeit aus dem Jahr 2016 im Fachbereich Romanistik - Spanische Sprache, Literatur, Landeskunde, Note: 2,0, Universität Mannheim (Romanisches Seminar), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: 'Como son los hombres para lo público, así las mujeres para el encerramiento; y como es de los hombres hablar y salir a la calle, así es de ellas encerrarse y callarse.' Dieses Zitat aus dem von Fray Luis de León geschriebenen Werk La perfecta casada des Jahres 1583 stand damals, wie auch in der Franco-Zeit, für die Gesamtheit an Meinungen zum Frauenbild in Spanien. Es beschreibt die gewünschten Verhaltensweisen einer guten katholischen Ehefrau, welche die Tugenden der Sittlichkeit und Ehrbarkeit in sich vereinen sollte. Während diese sozialen Vorgaben die katholische Gesellschaft Spaniens unter Felipe II. unweigerlich widerspiegeln, so haben sich viele der Erwartungshaltungen an die Frau noch bis in das 20. Jahrhundert gehalten. Die demokratischen Fortschritte der Zweiten Spanischen Republik (1931-1939) im Hinblick auf die Gleichberechtigung der Geschlechter wurden durch den Bürgerkrieg und die anschließende Nachkriegsphase durchkreuzt. Konträr zu anderen Ländern Europas, in denen zu der Zeit bereits weitgehend demokratische Strukturen herrschten, wurde in Zeiten des Franco-Regimes mit allen Mitteln versucht, mithilfe verschiedener Institutionen, die Frau in einer traditionellen Rolle zu halten und die von Fray Luis de León niedergeschriebenen Rollennormen wieder aufleben zu lassen. Die katholische Kirche nahm in dieser Aufgabe eine besondere Stellung ein, da der Regierung Religion als wichtiges Instrument für die Implementierung von Autorität diente. So wurde die Familie als Stützpfeiler des franquistischen Staates glorifiziert, in der die Frau als Hausfrau und Mutter der Unterordnung des Mannes verschrieben war. Geschlechterrollen wurden im offiziellen franquistischen Diskurs klar getrennt und ideologisiert, sodass die Ausübung eines Berufes auch in den ersten Jahren der Nachkriegszeit beinahe unmöglich war. Mit der Reaktivierung demokratischer Kräfte und der zunehmenden wirtschaftlichen Öffnung nach Zeiten der Autarkie Ende der 50er Jahre, begann sich der propagierte inferiore Status der Frau innerhalb der Gesellschaft etwas aufzulösen und es kam in den Jahren 1958 und 1961 zu zentralen Gesetzesänderungen bezüglich der Geschlechterdiskriminierung. Trotz allem waren diese Fortschritte mit der Realität schwer zu vereinbaren. Zu stark waren die vorgelebten Rollennormen in den Köpfen der Bürger verankert.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,7, RWTH Aachen University, language: English, abstract: The following essay is an analysis of Shakespeare's Puck and the way he is presented in A Midsummer Night's Dream. The first topic to deal with is that of Puck's background, the history of the hobgoblin before and after Shakespeare. After that, the main focus will be laid on Shakespeare's presentation of Puck's character in A Midsummer Night's Dream. Potential differences between the Shakespearean and the folklore Puck are also to be pointed out. Since Puck is an ambivalent figure, the characterisation is to be a try to find out wheatear Puck is presented as a more positive or a more malignant figure. The last point focuses Puck's functions in the play, since it is undoubted that he has more than one. Since his 'official' function is that of Oberon's servant and jester, Puck's relationship to his master will also be shortly examined in that chapter. 20 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2013 im Fachbereich BWL - Sonstiges, Note: 1,0, International Business School Nürnberg, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Gesellschaft ist sehr schnelllebig geworden und verzeiht denen, die dem Zeitgeist hinterherhinken, nur selten. Durch die fast unbegrenzte Vielfalt an identischen Angeboten tun sich Unternehmen am Markt schwer, wenn sie nicht unentwegt einen Schritt weiterdenken. Ansonsten fällt es den Kunden heutzutage leicht, zur Konkurrenz abzuwandern. In diesem Zusammenhang sprechen Ökonomen oft von einem uneingeschränkten Wettbewerbsvorteil durch Trendorientierung. Dabei ist jedoch Vorsicht geboten, denn Warenzeichen repräsentieren ein Unternehmensimage. Sie zeichnen ein Bild davon, wie Firmen in der Öffentlichkeit also beispielsweise von Kunden und Gesellschaft wahrgenommen werden möchten. Setzt man auf die falschen Trends, verfälscht dies möglicherweise das Unternehmensbild und gefährdet auch die USP.Die Königsdisziplin, in Bezug auf Trendadaptionen, ist es also, den Schwall an parallel ablaufenden Veränderungsprozessen richtig zu deuten und für die eigene Unternehmenstätigkeit die Relevanz der Entwicklungen korrekt einzuschätzen. Es ist also nicht möglich, pauschal zu sagen, dass ein Betrieb durch blinde Trendverarbeitung Wettbewerbsvorteile sammelt. Die Thematik stellt sich wesentlich komplizierter dar; und genau darum geht es in dieser Arbeit.Der Fokus liegt dabei auf ausgewählten Beispielen, an denen deutlich gemacht wird, warum es nicht immer vorteilhaft sein kann, hochgelobte Entwicklungstendenzen ohne Überlegung für sich anzunehmen. Zum anderen werden aber auch Beispiele angebracht, die zeigen, welche massiven Auswirkungen es haben kann, wenn Trends verschlafen werden. Umrahmt wird diese Ausarbeitung durch eine ausführliche Begriffsdefinition, die den Beispielen voransteht und dem Leser einen ersten Einblick in die komplexen Zusammenhänge ermöglichen soll.Außerdem wird in einem nächsten Schritt die Trendthematik in einen wirtschaftlichen Rahmen gesetzt und dabei die Theorie der Trendanalyse sowie der Trendkurve erläutert. Ein Fazit rundet die dargebotenen Beispiele ab, indem es die erarbeiteten Erkenntnisse zusammenträgt, auswertet und auf den Punkt bringt. Eine Zusammenfassung zukünftiger Megatrends, wie sie Patricia Aburdene, eine der weltweit renommiertesten Trendforscherinnen, in ihrem Buch 'Megatrends 2020' beschreibt, soll einen Eindruck von dem vermitteln, was die Gesellschaft in Zukunft erwartet. …

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Scientific Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Politics - Environmental Policy, grade: 1,3, The University of Sydney (Government and International Relations), course: Global Environmental Politics, language: English, abstract: This essay seeks to describe, analyze and evaluate Germany's climate policy in order to argue that it is effective and progressive on a global scale, but also subject to trade-offs as Germany is a highly industrialized economy. Germany is chosen as it is an especially interesting case in the apparent conflict of environmentalism and economic growth. The essay firstly outlines a literature review. An overview of the state of climate policy in Germany is given, major current policies are explained, and (geo)political, economic and cultural factors that influence climate policy are described. Within the literature review, the researcher decides to focus on policies related to renewable energies, energy efficiency, information campaigns and innovation. Germany's membership in the European Union (EU) was identified as major geopolitical influence, local governance structures and the German green party as influencing political factors, and the fossil fuels, automotive, machinery and equipment as well as the cattle farming industries as influencing economic factors. In the absence of a proper research body on the relationship of German culture and its climate policy, cultural factors were deducted from the aforementioned sub-sections. Subsequently, the essay attempts to answer the question why Germany's climate policy is designed the way it is and evaluates its performance. Finally, a conclusion is drawn. The researcher finds that Germany's climate policy is indeed successful, however especially the fossil fuel, automotive and cattle farming industries have substantial influence. These sectors are still subsidized and not directly tackled in the interest of climate policy, even though their contributions to greenhouse gas emission are substantial. 20 pp. Englisch. …

A range of famous singers, actors, models and so on declare themselves as modern-day feminists, but seemingly fail to go into the depths of what their statements and actions actually mean and, more important, could be interpreted to mean. In the interconnected cultural spheres today's global citizens wander, the variety of opinions and attitudes people carry around is as vast as ever and it has become almost impossible to shield oneself against influence of others. When it comes to popular culture, especially, the global influence of few people and what impact they have can be remarkable. Celebrities like Miley Cyrus, who are often seen to be role models for young girls and women, and thus conceded a special responsibility for them, are shaping the cultural dimensions of what is deemed relevant and desirable in, especially, Western culture. The issue of sexualization of young girls has been a controversy Cyrus has been located in herself, and has been commenting on, as well. Over the past few years she has created an image of a strong, independent rebel-woman who does not like to play by society's rules, breaking out of the realms of what is deemed acceptable.Resistance against current social discrepancies embedded in gender indifference, utilizing a certain way of style and bricolage of various cultural elements - ranging from things like personal clothing to writing a song and editing a music video to be released for the public - that seems what modern Miley Cyrus is all about. 20 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Document from the year 2018 in the subject Ethnology / Cultural Anthropology, University of Pretoria, language: English, abstract: In this article, I discuss the theory of personhood which I explain in the first paragraph.The aim of this narrative is to illustrate different African contexts and experiences of childhood, which are hardly taken into consideration when adopting Western definitions and constructs thereof. I draw upon the works of Fortes (1969), Karp (1995), Kratz (2000) and Salo (2004), which confer the meaning of personhood and agency. Subsequently, I then draw upon Chambua&Kamugisha (1994), Mustafa (2006), Holly (2006) and Arnfred (2007) who all provide ethnographic illustrations of personhood and sexual agency.In these ethnographic examples, I highlight recurring themes. One of the recurring themes is that the notion of personhood is not a fixed notion; rather personhood is constantly negotiated, contested and redefined through everyday social interactions. Secondly, the notion of personhood and agency differs cross-culturally. Lastly, while cultural meanings of personhood and agency may appear to be readily apparent, fixed and commonly shared amongst all members of a specific community, this is not so. 20 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Leadership and Human Resource Management - Management Styles, grade: 1,3, University of Applied Sciences Essen, course: Master of Business Administration (MBA), language: English, abstract: Leadership and personality have often been words cited together, as either the latter being a decisive aspect in the formation of the first or as a necessary factor to be able to effectively exercise leadership. The concept and qualities associated to leadership have evolved over the centuries from a more primitive and physically related term to an intellectual notion nowadays. If in ancient times the leader was the figure of someone considered the strongest - behavior which can also be found today among animals- and the most powerful or ruthless in the battlefield, leadership is today associated with some unusual personality traits -with which some people are naturally born-, and extreme difficult to be found among the population, that continue to influence and impact others, not by using power or strength as in the past but by influencing thinking, opinion and behavior. Power, success, wealth and a charismatic personality are also some of the most commonly related features to such term.While this topic has been centered for some time now in the question around whether leadership skills can be learned or someone has to be born with them, it is important to think that any person has the potential to shape, improve or develop his/her personality in order to strengthen some of the qualities and values typically associated to leadership which will be reviewed in this assignment.Steve Jobs, Henry Ford, Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Christopher Columbus, Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein and many others have led their companies, countries or in some cases mankind to overcome difficult situations, improve themselves and achieve goals which at first could seem unreachable. Either in business, in politics, religion, or science, they had the talent to stand out from the crowd and use their potential to inspire others and make them want to follow their examples. They did not use any power, title or money. They did not need it. They had something much more powerful. They managed to make other follow their vision. 20 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Sociology - Political Sociology, Majorities, Minorities, grade: 1,3, University of Cologne (Soziologie und Sozialpsychologie), language: English, abstract: Until now, there has been a huge body of literature either discussing the importance of various boundary making strategies or the meaning of intergroup contact in changing relations between in- and outgroup members. However, I argue that there is a great overlap between both approaches, describing similar phenomena, but giving them different notations. I aim at describing the importance, contact between different groups can have on making, changing or reinforcing the boundaries between them and furthermore, try to prove the existing, but underappreciated overlap between boundary-making approach and contact theory. To understand those processes, it is first of all significant to give a proper definition regarding the meaning of symbolic and social boundaries. I therefore refer to the commonly cited definition of Lamont and Molnár (2002), who describe symbolic boundaries as means to categorize objects or people into different groups and create memberships. They can, if there is a consensus about them, be transformed into social boundaries, making them a necessary condition of the latter. Contrary, social boundaries can be described as manifested differences, which limit social opportunities and lead to inequality in the access of material and nonmaterial resources for different individuals and groups. Boundaries can be drawn based on various characteristics and in different fields. A broad range of previous literature has discussed boundaries drawn based on racial, moral, cultural and socioeconomic factors, thus distinguishing between ethnic, moral cultural and class boundaries, whose existence could be proved in various countries. For instance, Sachweh (2013) utilized quantitative survey data and conducted qualitative interviews, to analyse the types of symbolic boundaries present in the German society. He found evidence for the existence of moral, socioeconomic and cultural boundaries drawn by different groups. The same is true for the study of Lamont (1992), comparing symbolic boundaries drawn by upper middle class men in France and the USA, demonstrating the varying importance across countries. Lamont and Molnar (2002) have also shown that boundaries are meaningful in different research fields, discussing examples of research in e.g. gender inequality, social and collective identity, professions and science or national identities. 20 pp. Englisch. …

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Miscellaneous, grade: A, ( Atlantic International University ), course: SEMINAR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT I, language: English, abstract: This book Fractal Time by Braden is fascinating. The author centers his analysis on the year 2012, which many people gave interpretation to. An interpretation that consisted of seeing that year as the end of the world. Besides, that way of viewing things for the year 2012 was a confusion of events. At least Braden wrote the book before the coming of that year, which proves that the explanations he gives in his book are trustful. When Braden works on the year 2012, his focus is about the cycles of times. Cycles of times that can occur in our day-to-day life and are more likely to repeat after many years. According to the author we have to approach this year the best way possible. To convey his message, he talks about 20 times codes that are developed in the book. Time code 1 says that we are living the completion of a 58,185-year-long cycle of time- a world age that the ancient Maya calculated would end the winter of the solstice on December 21, 2012. We are living the end of time, not the end of the world as a lot people predicted, but the end of a world age. For example, the present world age began in 3114 B.C. and will end in A.D. 2012. Time code 2 states that our ancestors recorded their experience of the last end of time showing beyond a reasonable doubt that the close of one world age is the beginning of the next, and not the end of the world. Now, the question might be: what is the meaning of the end of world age Those who came before us knew the end of the time was coming, they knew because it always does. Accordingly, Braden asserts that every 5,125 years, the Earth and our solar system reach a place in their journey through the heavens that mark the end of such a time cycle. Only five generations in the last 26,000 years have experienced the shift of world ages. We will be the sixth. The only way to arrive at the light of the next cycle is to finish the darkness of this one. Many themes are developed in Braden's book. I have selected those I thought to be more appealing. The first issue I will discuss are cycles (time cycles) that repeat, and then I shall debate the 20-year curse of American presidents. The last discussion will be the identification of cycles of nature in our lives. 20 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject Philosophy - Theoretical (Realisation, Science, Logic, Language), grade: 1,0, University of Vienna (Institut für Philosophie), language: English, abstract: In the first essay of the collection Hegel: Three Studies, Adorno evaluates Hegel's philosophy in the following way: 'Hegel, in many respects, [is] a Kant who came to himself'1. He justifies this verdict with the claim that Hegel succeeded in following the inner logic of the transcendental philosophy much more consistently than Kant himself. His idealism was not simply imposed on Kant's philosophy and thus using it as a shaky foundation for a foreign superstructure. Instead, Hegel had sensitively reacted to Kant's inherent contradictions and resentments and subsequently presented them coherently in his dialectics and made them usable for him - or one might even say, he 'sublated' it. In my examination of the negative dialectics, I have repeatedly come to a similar assessment towards Adorno. He too was able to react productively on the inconsistencies and gross misconceptions in Hegel's philosophy in his critical approach to Hegel, by which he measured and instructed his own dialectical philosophy on the Hegelian. He was always aware of the danger that the productive reception of Hegelian motifs and dialectical methods would lead to a dull epigonism if it did not consistently align itself with the original contents of his philosophy. In the present work, I would like to prove that Adorno's assessment of the relationship between Hegel and Kant also applies to his relationship to Hegel, i.e. that Adorno can and should be called - in a certain polemic way - a Hegel who came to himself. His negative dialectics convert Hegel's speculative philosophy into the modern philosophical discourse without being guilty of cherry picking. It does so by clearing Hegelian philosophy of its imperfections and enriching it with the political experience of the twentieth century. It is my goal to show with a genealogy of negative dialectics, its reference points to Hegel and to prove that Adorno's dialectic is a legitimate heir of Hegelian philosophy. In addition to Adorno's work Negative Dialectics, I will pay special attention to his Lectures on Negative Dialectics, because, as Adorno states himself, not only the 'methodical observation' and the 'fundamental considerations' of his negative dialectics are presented there, but also the development process of Negative Dialectics is considered. 20 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Essay from the year 2005 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 2.0, University of Heidelberg, language: English, abstract: The title of the movie Sankofa, directed by Haile Gerima in 1993, has been carefully chosen. Sankofa is a word from the Akan people of Ghana for a special, mythological bird, which turns its head back to hold the egg upon its back. Thus, by taking care of its egg, the future generation is ensured. The Sankofa bird has become a symbol in Ghana and other parts of west Africa which stands for the concept that one has to look back, rediscover and reclaim the past in order to face the future and move forward.Gerima variously integrated this concept in his movie both in the outer plot, i.e. Mona's realization of her roots in the present, and the inner plot, i.e. within her spiritual journey to the past, especially by means of Mona's alter ego Shola and the character of Joe, who both have to undergo intensive change until they finally find and realize their true self.So, in this essay, I will first give some background information on Haile Gerima and his motives for making a movie like Sankofa, as far as it is germane to the further theses. Then, I will focus on the characters of Mona, which involves her alter ego Shola, and Joe. I will outline how the Sankofa concept applies to their realization of their true self by means of having an in-depth look at both reasons and development of their change. How and why did the White people try to prevent them from realizing their true self and how were they able to see it in the end despite all the manipulation In a conclusion I will point out common and differing features of their change, as well as its effect upon themselves. 20 pp. Englisch.…

In this study, the effects of irrigating date palms with saline water (2,24 g l-1) on soil physicochemical characteristics such as the electrical conductivity (ECe), the pH of the saturated soil paste (pHe), the concentrations of soluble cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+), the sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), the saturated soil hydraulic conductivity (Ks), and the volumetric water content of the soil (thv) were evaluated in a Tunisian Saharan cropland, the Dergine Oasis, during a 4-year period (2012-2015). The effects of three different irrigation treatments of date palms on soil properties were investigated: low treatment (90% of the net irrigation requirement (NIR) of date palms was applied); medium treatment (100% of NIR was applied), and high treatment (110% of NIR was applied). The results showed that the application of saline water for irrigation inevitably has a negative impact on the physicochemical properties of the soil. Irrigation with saline water was observed to have severe negative impacts on the soil characteristics, especially ECe, Na+, Ks, and thv. However, among the three irrigation treatments applied, statistical analysis (Duncan's multiple range test) indicated that the high treatment significantly (p < 0.05) minimized the degradation of soil characteristics by the saline water; this treatment decreased ECe, Na+, and SAR and increased the water content, thv, of the studied soil. 20 pp. Englisch.…

Moreover, its investigation is obligatory as recent literature on the subject connects the level of democracy of a particular country to its level of development and innovation. However, the latter is a concept usually ignored in the establishment of relevant policies and action strategies. Thus, the present paper debates the question that the democracy index of a country such as Switzerland places it among the countries having the highest level of 'full democracy'. 20 pp. Englisch.…

To use it in learning process, Telegram is the most famous online E-learning tool among Iranian students, and it has established an online platform for English learners. Accordingly, this study aims to investigate students' perspectives toward telegram as an E-learning tool in EGP context in UMSU.To this end, an online questionnaire was designed and conducted in a Telegram to investigate students' perspectives toward Telegram in using four different components of English including reading, writing, listening, and speaking in EGP context. The participants of this study were 300 (150 male and 150 female) students, equally 100 students (50 males and 50 females) from three faculties of medicine, dentistry, and pharmacy.The findings revealed that Telegram can bring technological and pedagogical advantages for EFL learners, and majority of students in UMSU prefer to use it for reading and writing components. According to learners' statements, it has also a significantly positive effect on the development of vocabulary learning in EFL context as a online E-learning tool. The findings of present study are considered to be useful in language pedagogy and methodology. 20 pp. Englisch.…

In the philosophy of knowledge, they will be able to know where knowledge comes from. They will know how it is acquired. Likewise, they will see how it is being formed out of ideas and its formation process. Then they will come to realize its truthfulness and validity.In the social dimension, the readers will be moved by their humility. They will learn how Filipinos relate themselves to each other. They will love the Filipinos more than they do after reading this. On the other hand, the readers will also love their own God more than they do when they discover the Filipinos' fidelity. They will be thinking that these people are holy and so worthy of respect.Finally the readers will see the connection between Locke's philosophy of knowledge and that of the Filipinos' two dimensions. They will also find out how it is made possible. They will be able to examine themselves the strongest and weakest points of this matter. But their decision will still be to appreciate this kind of work. Then they will acknowledge the researcher for having shared his brilliant knowledge. 20 pp. Englisch.…
