PENGARUH MODEL SNOWBALL THROWING TERHADAP HASIL BELAJAR SISWA KELAS V PADA MATA PELAJARAN PKn DI SD INPRES XX SOLOT
2020
ABSTRACTThis study aims to determine student learning outcomes by using the snowball throwing modelon PKn subjects in the diversity of ethnic groups in Indonesia towards the learning outcomes ofstudents in class V SD Inpres XX Solot Nita District, Sikka Regency. This research is aquantitative study with the tipe of experimental research method used in this study using thepre-experimental (nondesings) type one-group pretest-design method. The population andresearch sample were all students of class V which numbered 14 students. The test instrumentused to determine is in the form of a pre-test and post-test. Based on the learning outcomes thevalues obtained the average experimental class in t…
150 years of rowing faster: what are the sources of more and more speed?
2015
Rowing has a 150 yr+ competitive history. Examining results from historic races like Oxford-Cambridge (established 1829) and the world championships (established 1893) reveals a linear increase in boat speed by 2-3% per decade. Boat velocity increases if propulsive power is increased and/or power losses are reduced. Over time, the propulsive power capacity of elite rowers has increased. Part of this increase is a result of recruiting athletes from a population that has become taller (1-3 cm per decade) and heavier. Modern world class rowers are typically 190-200 cm tall and weigh 90-100 kg. However, physical capacity does not scale directly with body dimensions but conforms instead to biolo…
Bienestar Docente durante la Pandemia COVID-19 : La Comparación entre Ecuador y Chile
2021
El quehacer docente se ha visto afectado a causa de la crisis sanitaria a nivel mundial, los docentes han debido transformar la forma de hacer su trabajo y enfrentar nuevos desafíos profesionales. El objetivo de este estudio es identificar y comparar entre docentes chilenos y ecuatorianos percepciones de bienestar emocional, social y laboral durante la pandemia; también identificar diferencias por género y la relación entre el nivel de bienestar y diferentes dimensiones socioemocionales. Participaron 881 docentes de preescolar, primaria y secundaria de ambos países, quienes respondieron un cuestionario en línea sobre carga laboral/doméstica, horario laboral, apoyo institucional, afectos …
Ecomorphological predictors of natal dispersal distances in birds.
2008
1. Dispersal is one of the key ecological parameters but it is very difficult to quantify directly. As a consequence, empirical studies often ignore dispersal or use indirect measures. 2. Ringing data have previously been used to estimate the natal dispersal distances of 47 British passerine bird species. This provides an excellent opportunity to examine the potential of various indirect measures to predict natal dispersal distances in British birds. 3. We use a phylogenetic comparative framework and single- and multipredictor models including ecomorphological, behavioural or ecological traits to predict natal dispersal distance. 4. A multipredictor model that includes Kipp's distance (a me…
Selection of low investment in sex in a cyclically parthenogenetic rotifer
2009
Cyclical parthenogens, which combine asexual and sexual reproduction, are good models for research into the ecological and population processes affecting the evolutionary maintenance of sex. Sex in cyclically parthenogenetic rotifers is necessary for diapausing egg production, which is essential to survive adverse conditions between planktonic growing seasons. However, within a planktonic season sexual reproduction prevents clonal proliferation. Hence, clones with a low propensity for sex should be selected, becoming dominant in the population as the growing season progresses. In this context, we studied the dynamics of the heritable variation in propensity for sexual reproduction among clo…
L’ampliamento come occasione di recupero della memoria e dell’identità
2012
We present the enlargement plan of an isolated cemetery in a small town of the west Sicily as it exemplifies some way to carry out the design for an “addition”. The enlargement faces a still readable and characteristic nineteenth-century building. Even introducing unavoidable innovative characteristics, the architecture we designed tries to resolve the difficult relationship between the new portion and the old cemetery, bell shaped, in steep slope above the town. The recovery of this place for collective memory, once realized as a closed enclosure, is realized by the mediation of a space which seeks to maintain, recover and reinforce the identity of places altered in the last years by uncon…
The Experience of Living through the Transition from Adolescence to Adulthood for Young People with Cerebral Palsy
2023
This study explored the lived experience of transition from adolescence to adulthood for young people with cerebral palsy to inform occupational therapy practitioners as to what might promote positive life opportunities. A phenomenological methodology was used with six participants, aged 18 to 25 years with cerebral palsy. The findings are presented in the form of hermeneutic stories and three themes: The storm of uncertainty; time, space and the body, Capsizing in a world of others and, Securing anchorage; being heard and understood. Recommendations include service integration across health, social care and education based on partnership and provision of coordinators. peerReviewed
PLASMA MEMBRANE REDOX SYSTEM IN THE ERYTHROCYTES OF ROWERS: PILOT STUDY
2015
Background: The oxidative stress results from a change in the physiological balance between oxidant and antioxidant species. The purpose of this study is twofold: first, to investigate the effects of long-term training in sports with high energy requirements on the redox balance which exists between the plasma vs. the erythrocytes; second, to study the activity of the PMRS (Plasma Membrane Redox System), which is a compensatory mechanism of cellular redox homeostasis, in the rowers’ erythrocytes in order to determine the rowers’ counteraction to oxidative stress. Methods: Venous blood samples was collected from rowers and control group; then FRAP (Ferric Reducing Activity Power) method has …
Theories on Teaching & Training in Ethics
2008
The paper examines the education and training of adults in ethics. It applies to courses at universities and colleges as well as in the work place. The paper explores the evidence on our ability to strengthen moral behaviour through courses on ethics, finds it to be weak, so starts with the assumption that we cannot teach people to be ethical. The paper asks therefore what the objectives of a course could be and how best to achieve them. It examines the different theories in the literature, eventually settling on four objectives: increasing moral cognition; teaching a widening and strengthening of ethical practices; adopting teaching approaches that maximise learning impact, and developing …
Representing Tibetan Buddhism in books on spirituality : A discourse-historical approach
2022
This article looks into how Tibetan Buddhism is framed in terms of East-West dichotomy in six popular books on Buddhism and spirituality. Discourse Historical Approach is employed to uncover the rhetorical representation of Tibetan Buddhism to the readers. A critical post-colonial perspective offers an insight into various power dynamics, arising from these representations, structured according to Yoshikawa's model of intercultural communication between East and West. The various power outcomes of rhetorical styles range from Ethnocentric to Dialogical, with their ethical consequences and problematics discussed.
