Kaplan, Ceren. "Leo Satellites: Attitude Determination And Control Components." Master's thesis, METU, 2006. http://etd.lib.metu.edu.tr/upload/12607189/index.pdf.
Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, application of linear control methods to control the attitude of a Low-Earth Orbit satellite is studied. Attitude control subsystem is first introduced by explaining attitude determination and control components in detail. Satellite dynamic equations are derived and linearized for controller design. Linear controller and linear quadratic regulator are chosen as controllers for attitude control. The actuators used for control are reaction wheels and magnetic torquers. MATLAB-SIMULINK program is used in order to simulate satellite dynamical model (actual nonlinear model) and controller model. In simulations, the satellite parameters are selected to be similar to the actual BILSAT-1 satellite parameters. In conclusion, simulations obtained from different linear control methods are compared within themselves and with nonlinear control methods, at the same time with that obtained from BILSAT-1 satellite log data.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a short-term math/science inservice based upon the participants' perceived changes in attitude and behavior relevant to the projects' goals and objectives. One hundred and three elementary school teachers from twelve schools in an urban school district participated in the inservice. The treatments were administered during two eight hour days, one month apart. The project was designed to improve the participants' attitude and behavior relevant to ten goals that centered around increasing awareness and use of science process and math problem solving approaches to teaching. The evaluation instrument was a pre- and post-treatment survey. Seventy questions were created and apportioned to test twenty hypotheses. Two hypotheses were tested to determine the achievement of each goal. One hypothesis tested the teachers' perceived change in attitude and the other tested the teachers' perceived change in teaching behavior relevant to a specific goal. Goal achievement was determined by comparing changes (significant at the.05 level) in attitude and behavior. All ten attitude hypotheses indicated a significant positive change occurred in attitude. None of the behavior hypotheses showed a significant positive change. It was determined that the inservice was totally effective in changing the teachers' attitude, relevant to the goals, but it failed to make a positive impact upon the teachers' perceptions of their actual practice in the classroom. It was speculated that the failure to affect behavior change was a result of one or a combination of the following four factors: insufficient time lapse to affect behavior, more accurate reporting on the post test, retrenchment resulting from feelings of inadequacy, and fear of venturing out alone primarily due to the lack of organizational development. Suggestions for improving the inservice were based upon proposed remedies for the above four factors.

Full textAbstract:
This study discusses Augmented Reality (AR) as a digital marketing tool in online retail, with a special focus on the perceptions and attitudes which consumers hold towards the tool. The project, aims to give insights on how to study AR in online retail settings and also touches upon how different characteristics of augmented reality can impact the consumers attitudes towards products displayed or demonstrated with AR tools. The conceptual framework is based on literature and case studies in the fields of augmented reality, consumer experience and, customer value creation. The data for this research project was obtained through in-depth interviews with participants who have had previous experiences with Augmented Reality. After analysing and categorising their answers, the findings suggest that the participants have an overall positive attitude towards the tool and that they are already keen to engage with the technology. Their answers also suggested that the use of AR tools in online retail could positively affect the consumers attitudes towards the promoted services or products which are displayed with the tool. Moreover, depending on certain factors, the tool could potentially have a positive effect on the purchasing decision. On the negative side, the participants consider the technology is not there yet and needs to be improved to deliver meaningful value for them. Other valuable findings of the project are related to the customer journeys and the value the tool provides to the users.Denna studie diskuterar Augmented Reality (AR) som ett digitalt marknadsföringsverktyg inom onlinehandeln, med ett särskilt fokus på de uppfattningar och attityder som konsumenterna har gentemot verktyget. Projektet syftar till att ge insikter om hur man studerar AR i online-butiksmiljöer och berör också hur olika egenskaper hos AR kan påverka konsumenternas attityder till produkter som visas eller demonstreras med AR-verktyg. Den konceptuella ramen är baserad på litteratur och fallstudier inom AR, konsumentupplevelse och kundvärdeskapande. Data för detta forskningsprojekt erhölls genom fördjupade intervjuer med deltagare som tidigare haft erfarenheter av AR. Efter att ha analyserat och kategoriserat sina svar föreslår resultatet att deltagarna har en övergripande positiv inställning till verktyget och att de redan är angelägna om att engagera sig i tekniken. Deras svar föreslog också att användningen av AR-verktyg i online-detaljhandeln positivt kunde påverka konsumenternas attityder till de marknadsförda tjänsterna eller produkterna som visas med verktyget. Beroende på vissa faktorer kan verktyget dessutom ha en positiv effekt på inköpsbeslutet. Bland de negativa aspekterna anser deltagarna att tekniken inte Einns där ännu och måste förbättras för att ge ett meningsfullt värde för dem. Andra värdefulla insikter från projektet är relaterade till kundresan och det värde verktyget ger användarna.

Full textAbstract:
I den här studien har Swedish Matchs marknadsföring av produktlinjen ZYN undersökts, med fokus på marknadsföring genom gratisprover. Då produktkategorin nikotinpåsar inte regleras av Lag (2018:2088) om tobak och liknande produkter har Swedish Match helt andra möjligheter att marknadsföra ZYN än företagets tobaksprodukter. Syftet med studien var att undersöka fenomenet utifrån den teoretiska modellen Tri-component attitude model och undersöka hur gratisprover påverkar konsumenters attityd och framtida köpbeteende. Undersökningen genomfördes genom en kvantitativ metod där en elektronisk webbenkät skickades ut som gav 185 svar. Resultatet visade att gratisprovet inte hade någon effekt på den kognitiva delen, men den affektiva delen av attitydskapandet. Vidare visade resultatet att gratisprovet faktiskt hade en effekt på framtida konsumentbeteende. Slutsatserna som drogs i studien var att Tri-component attitude model inte var rätt teori för att studera fenomenet, att det gratisprovet påverkade den affektiva delen, men inte den kogntiva delen. Det resultatet bör dock ses som en indikator, och inte som en vetenskaplig sanning på grund av implikationer med vald teori och metod. Slutsatsen drogs också att det finns ett orsak-verkan samband mellan gratisprovet och framtida konsumentbeteende.

Green, Clare. "Design et relations pérennes avec les objets du quotidien." Thesis, Paris, EHESS, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019EHES0105.
Full textAbstract:
L’activité du design est le point de départ pour cette recherche. Elle se trouve au coeur des interrogations sur le bien-fondé de nos comportements de consommation. La pratique du design évolue pour faire face à ses responsabilités dans le contexte environnemental actuel, en questionnant le rôle de l’objet physique et en trouvant des alternatives technologies et virtuelles. Les évolutions vers plus de virtuel, quoique bénéfique, ne résolvent pas le problème de la place du matériel dans nos relations et dans nos comportements. C’est là le point de départ de cette recherche. Elle tente d’identifier les composants relationnels dans l’extension de la durée de vie des objets car l’optimisation et l’extension de la durée de vie des produits a le potentiel de réduire le cadence de consommation de matériaux et d’énergie intrinsèque. Ma volonté est d’apporter une focalisation sur des objets et des relations plus banals qui constituent la majorité de ce qui nous entoure. Cette recherche s’est divisée en trois parties qui représentent trois façons d’aborder les relations pérennes aux objets. La première section se concentre sur l’activité de création des objets et la production d’éléments pouvant créer des relations avec eux. La deuxième section se base sur des cadres théoriques déjà utilisés pour structurer les relations aux objets, pour identifier les éléments appropriés pour aborder les relations plus longues avec les objets et les aspects des relations plus rarement traités. La troisième section examine des relations avec les objets in situ dans le quotidien, à travers une série d’études basées sur des méthodes de recherche sur les comportements en design. La complexité potentielle des relations aux objets est soulignée à travers ces trois sections. La première section montre les multiples facettes que peuvent posséder des produits. La deuxième section donne à voir différentes façons de structurer ces facettes. Enfin la troisième section permet d’assembler les facettes des produits qui semblent contribuer à la longévité des relations. La première et la troisième section illustrent ainsi deux moments différents dans la relation à l’objet: la production jusqu’à la présentation et le premier contact avec l’objet d’un côté, d’autre part la réception et la vie avec l’objet qui ne sont pas encore assez traitées par l’activité du design.A l’issue de la phase d’expérimentation nous avons pu établir une illustration en forme de cartographie des composants présents dans les relations plus pérennes. Cette illustration donne un premier aperçu des composants identifiés comme robustes. Une partie de ces composants recouvre les thèmes et les déterminants identifiés dans d’autres recherches récentes et confirme la nature multi-facettes des relations pérennes aux objets quotidiens. L’identification de l’utilisation, les actions, le toucher et les ressentis, peu présents dans d’autres recherches consultées, constituent ici une partie importante de notre contribution. Il s’agit de composants relationnels qu’il conviendrait de plus privilégier dans des modèles et aussi des strategies de design futurs. Nos recherches tentent de ré-équilibrer l’importance donnée aux aspects symboliques des relations avec les objets, dans le cas des objets usuels. Elles soulignent la présence, l’importance et les particularités d’autres composants plus proches de l’objet physiqueThis research starts from designing, an activity at the heart of interrogations concerning our current consumption behaviour. As a practice, design is evolving in reaction to responsibilities in the current environmental context, by questioning the role of physical objects and by finding technological and virtual alternatives. While evolutions towards more virtual solutions may be beneficial they don’t resolve the problem of the place of materials in our relations and our behaviour. This constitutes the research start point: attempting to identify the relational components that contribute to product longevity, as the optimisation and extension of product life-times has the potential to reduce the rate of consumption of both materials and embodied energy. The aim is to focus on the banal objects and relations that constitute the majority of what surrounds us.This research is in three parts, which represent three different ways to approach lasting product relations. Section one concentrates on the activity that creates objects and produces elements that can create relations with them. Section two examines theoretical frameworks already used to structure object relations, with the aim of identifying elements appropriate for addressing longer relations and aspects of relations that may be overlooked. Section three examines object relations in-situ in everyday life, through a series of studies of user behaviour based on design research methods. The potential complexity of longer everyday object relations is underlined by these three sections. Section one highlights the multiple facets that products can possess. Section two illustrates different ways that these facets can be structured and section three regroups product facets that appear to contribute to longer product relations. The first and third sections also illustrate two different moments in product relations: firstly conception, production and first contact, and secondly reception and life with the object, which may not be sufficiently taken into account in design activity.The outcome of the experimentation phase (section three) is an illustration mapping the key components present in longer product relations. This illustration gives an overview of the components identified as most robust. Some of these components match themes and determinants already identified in recent research and confirm the multi-facetted nature of longer everyday product relationships. The identification of the importance of actions (using, touching and feeling…), less present in the literature consulted, constitute a key contribution in this research. These are relational components that should be emphasised in future models and design strategies.This research aims to re-evaluate the importance given to the symbolic aspects of object relations in the context of ordinary products and underline the presence, importance and particularities of other components closer to the physical, material object

Full textAbstract:
While managers increasingly see the importance of corporate social responsibility, incorporating it in the business often fails (Keys et al., 2009). Organizational sustainability performance can improve if employees have positive attitudes towards sustainability (Wang et al., 2011). This thesis aims to explore how different leadership behaviours in case company Cybercom have influenced the attitudes of its employees. New analytical tools are developed for analysing the data collected through interviews with employees at Cybercom. The findings indicate several connections between the leadership behaviours studied, and the attitudinal components. One main finding was that all four leadership behaviours in Cybercom had, to a certain extent, led to the affective outcome of feeling that sustainability was more important, the cognitive outcome of learning about the business perspective of sustainability, and the behavioural outcome of communicating more or differently about sustainability. It is concluded that Cybercom has helped shape its employees’ attitudes through various factors such as employee training, leaders acting as role models and motivators, written materials and workshops.The theoretical contributions of this paper consist of new knowledge in the field of leadership shaping employee attitudes, as well as new analytical tools. The practical contributions of this paper are managerial implications for Cybercom.

Full textAbstract:
Street harassment, the sexual harassment by strangers in public places, is a common experience shared by many women and has been linked with other forms of sexual victimization. The negative impact of street harassment, such as fear and behavior to avoid being harassed, points to the need for preventing the behavior. This study sought to determine whether the documentary-style film War Zone may be effective in impacting men’s attitudes toward street harassment, and whether the effectiveness of the film would depend on men’s hostility toward women and level of peer acceptance for street harassment. Findings do not support the effectiveness of War Zone as a component of street harassment prevention. However, the data does suggest that endorsement of hostile attitudes toward women predicts a lack of empathy, and that endorsement of hostile attitudes toward women, a lack of empathy, and peer acceptance of street harassment predict acceptance of street harassment.

Full textAbstract:
Selon le World Risk Report publié par United Nations University Institute for Environment and Human Security, les Philippines occupent la troisième place mondiale pour l’exposition aux risques naturels. L’impact de ses inondations sur la santé publique des communautés en fonction de leur vulnérabilité sociale a été très peu étudié jusqu’à présent faute de données systématiques. La méthodologie est basée sur une évaluation de la connaissance, de l’attitude et des pratiques (KAP) des populations inondées et de leur résilience vis à vis de leur exposition à des pathogènes tels que E.coli, Leptospirosis and la dengue qui peuvent se développer à la suite d’un typhon. Ces indicateurs intègrent le profil socio-démographique, les conditions de logement, l'environnement physique ainsi que la gouvernance locale. Une investigation de terrain a été effectuée dans la ville de Dumaguete, Philippines, de mars 2013 à juillet 2013. Un total de 357 familles réparties dans 12 communautés ont été interrogés. L’analyse de ces données a permis de révéler une vulnérabilité synthétisée dans un indice (IVF) qui s’établit en moyenne à 39,34 %. Le secteur de Barangay Tabuc-tubig présente un indice de 53,39 % et s’avère le site le plus vulnérable. L’indice de vulnérabilité est basé sur 5 composants: hydroclimatique, social, économique, socio-comportementale et politico-administratif. Les résultats démontrent que l'indice de vulnérabilité reste faible malgré des indicateurs d’exposition élevée. Cette recherche, l'indice de vulnérabilité est lié aux variables intervenant dans la caractérisation de la résilienceAccording to the World Risk Report released by the United Nations University Institute for Environment and Human Security, the Philippines is ranked third globally in terms of disaster risk. Public health risks and understanding social vulnerability are usually overlooked and very little attention is given. Thus, this research work focuses on. This research was an exploratory step and a rapid assessment of the Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) of the community people towards flood vulnerability and resilience and their exposure to microorganisms such as E.coli, Leptospirosis and the Dengue Fever mosquito. Appropriate community-based indicators were formulated and developed. Their socio-demographic profile, housing conditions, physical environment and governance were also included. The survey was done from March 2013 to July 2013 to capture the dry and wet season for bacterial sampling. A total of 357 household respondents from the 12 communities and 30 respondents from the LGU and NGO were surveyed. Results of the study revealed an overall Flood Vulnerability Index (FVI) of 39.34%. Barangay Tabuc-tubig (53.39%) topping from all the 12 communities surveyed using the newly developed 36 community-based flood vulnerability indicators with its corresponding 5 major components namely; hydro-climatic, social, economic, socio-behavioral and the politico-administrative. It is interesting to note that FVI remains low in spite that the exposure indicators are high. The low FVI can be attributed to the community’s high resilience in its coping and adaptation strategies. In this research work, the FVI is significantly sensitive to susceptibility and flood resilience variables

In two studies, I examined student responses to an increased emphasis on exiperiential actvites in a required underaduate developmental psychology course. For four experiential sections (n = 143), each class topic was related to a specific, real-world application. Four other sections (n = 187) were taught primarily by lecture, with one out-of-class observation assignment. The experiential sections rated the value of and interest in the subject matter higher and the courtesy and consideration of the instructor significantly more positively than did the lecture sections. Students in the two types of sections did not differ significantly in achievement. A follow-up study identified the origin of change in attitudes toward the course.

Full textAbstract:
Sending email is a very common activity among Swedish consumers nowadays. Email advertising has become a big part of the email usage - both permission-based and unwanted. The purpose of this study was to identify Swedish consumers’ total attitude towards permission- based email advertising, based on the three components cognition, affection and behavior. After identifying the attitude, correlation between the components was examined. The result was used to try Prensky’s generation theory regarding digital natives and digital immigrants, to investigate if it can be useful in the subject email advertising. A quantitative method was used, by publishing a survey on Facebook, which got totally 187 useful responses. The result showed an overall negative attitude and a high correlation between cognition and affection. A medium high correlation between cognition and behavior, and affection and behavior was found. The results partly showed a difference between digital natives and digital immigrants attitude towards email advertising. In the survey a division of four age groups, instead of two, was made. Results from the four groups showed a mix of positive and negative responses, which indicates that Prensky’s generation theory is too general, and cannot be used within email advertising.

Full textAbstract:
Nurse educators have identified that historically nurses have not been preparedto care for dying patients. Research also has identified that nursing students haveanxieties about death, dying, and caring for dying patients. Several factors have beenidentified as affecting nurses', nursing students', and medical students' attitudestoward care of the dying. Factors addressed in this research will be death education,and death experience. As part of a national movement to improve end-of-life (EOL) care, schools ofnursing are starting to implement EOL education in their curricula. This researchlooked at one component of EOL education, which incorporates experiential learningusing Quint's (1967) model of death education and transformative learning theory.The educational experiences were geared to help students understand the skills neededto competently and compassionately care for the dying; those behaviors include: (1)responding during the death scene, (2) providing comfort, (3) responding to anger, (4)enhancing personal growth, (5) responding to colleagues, (6) enhancing the quality oflife during dying, and (7) responding to the family (Degner, Gow, & Thompson,1991). The study examined the long-term effects of an educational experience todetermine if a one- time educational experience provides sufficient, lasting effects in a6-week format.Results of this study indicate that education can have a positive effect onnursing students' attitudes toward care of the dying. Nursing students in the treatmentgroup had a significant positive increase in their attitudes toward care of thedying after the treatment. It was also noted on the pretest that those students who hadprevious experience in caring for dying patients had a statistically significant higherpositive attitude toward care of the dying than those who did not have previousexperience in care of the dying. The attitude change increased slightly after a 4-weekperiod. The use of the End of Life Nursing Education Consortium (ELNEC) educationpackage along with experiences at hospice, the funeral home, the anatomy lab and roleplay help facilitate transformative learning in nursing students.

Abstract Beliefs about which behaviors and responsibilities should typical be assumed by women and men are central in shaping gender relations and gender equality in society. The belief that women should be responsible for domestic work, while men should provide economically for the family gives rise to an uneven opportunity structure, situating women in a disadvantaged position compared to men. In order to achieve gender equality traditional gender role attitudes need to liberalize. This thesis examines who supports non-traditional gender roles in Sweden. Data representative of the Swedish population between the ages of 18-79 were used to explore the relationship between social context and individual self-interest and gender role attitudes. The results showed that women are more likely to be positive towards non-traditional gender roles if they are situated in highly educated social contexts. Conversely, men were found to be more likely to be positive if situated in gender equal contexts. This indicates that men’s beliefs regarding what is appropriate for women might be countered by women in gender equal contexts, while women may find confirmation regarding their non-traditional gender role attitude in other equally liberal women.

O envelhecimento populacional é um fenômeno global que tem sido observado nas últimas décadas. O Censo de 2000 identificou 10 milhões de brasileiros com idades acima de 65 anos, estimando que, até 2030, deverão atingir uma população de 25 milhões de idosos. As conseqüências do crescente número de idosos implicam o aumento das demandas sociais que deverão representar um grande desafio sócio-econômico para o país, exigindo o desenvolvimento de políticas para disponibilizar uma rede de serviços capaz de assegurar os direitos básicos às pessoas idosas. A concentração de esforços realizados por diferentes especialidades buscou aumentar o conhecimento sobre o envelhecimento, criando recursos para a manutenção da independência e autonomia dos indivíduos idosos. Há um consenso sobre os benefícios psicossociais e fisiológicos advindos da prática regular de exercícios físicos, comprovando mudanças de valores e de hábitos em relação à saúde, independente da idade das pessoas. Estudos com idosos mostraram que a participação em algum tipo de atividade física potencializou ganhos físicos, mentais e um expressivo ganho no convívio social e estado de ânimo. Este estudo objetivou construir e validar escalas de atitudes para idosos, com base em medidas sobre crenças e valores frente ao Convívio Social, segundo o modelo bipolar proposto por Fishbein e Ajzen. Foi realizado um estudo piloto com 14 pessoas, homens e mulheres com mais de 60 anos, escolaridade mínima correspondente ao ensino fundamental, em condições físicas e mentais favoráveis para participar na pesquisa. Inicialmente foram identificadas crenças salientes modais em entrevistas focalizadas no convívio social. Baseado nestes dados foram construídas escalas bipolares, do tipo Likert, em sete pontos sobre probabilidade e avaliação, variando entre -3 e +3, tendo 0 como ponto central. Tais escalas foram administradas em 210 sujeitos do sexo feminino com idades superiores a 60 anos, participantes, na maioria, de um Programa de Integração Comunitário de Ribeirão Preto. Os dados foram processados no programa estatístico SPSS, para identificar Componentes Principais, tomando-se como critério uma saturação acima de .45 e eigenvalue superior a 1.00. Com base nestes estudos, foram identificados alguns conteúdos relacionados a Crenças Teleológicas/Espiritualidade ( = .91), Socialização/Continuidade ( = .82), Sabedoria/Amparo ( = .76), Condições de Vida/Sobrevivência ( = .75), Convívio Familiar ( = .73) e Trabalho /Ativação ( = .66).Population aging is a global phenomenon that has been observed in recent decades. The 2000 demographic Census identified 10 million Brazilians aged over than 65 years, estimating that by 2030 they should reach a population of 25 million elderly people. The consequences of the elderly people increasing number result in social demands increase that should represent a major socio-economic challenge for the country, requiring the development of policies in order to provide a services network capable of ensuring the basic rights for the elderly. The concentration of efforts by different specialties sought to increase knowledge about aging, creating resources for the maintenance of independence and autonomy of older persons. There is a consensus on the physiological and psychosocial benefits arising out of regular physical exercises, showing changes in values and habits with regard to health independent of people age. Studies with elderly showed that participation in some type of physical activity potentiated physical and mental gains and a significant gain in social living and mood. This study aimed to develop and validate attitudes scales for use in elderly, based on beliefs and values measures toward the Social Living, according to the bipolar model proposed by Fishbein and Ajzen. A pilot study was carried out with 14 people, men and women over 60 years, minimum education corresponding to primary education, in physical and mental conditions favorable in order to participate in research. Initially modal salient beliefs were identified in interviews focused on social living. Based on these data were constructed bipolar type Likert scales in seven points about probability and evaluation, ranging from -3 to +3, with 0 as the central point. These scales were applied in 210 women aged over 60 years, most participants in the Community Integration Program of Ribeirão Preto. The data were processed in SPSS statistic program to identify principal components, using saturation above .45 and eigenvalue greater than 1.00 as criterion. Based on these studies, some contents were identified and related to Teleological Beliefs/Spirituality ( = .91), Socialization/Continuity ( = .82), Wisdom/Hold ( = .76), Life Conditions/Survival ( = .75), Family Living ( = .73) and Work/Activation ( = .66).

Full textAbstract:
The history of association soccer dates back to the 1800's, and all indications are that prospects for the female athlete was scarce in all sports. The researcher has arranged an environment where young females can train with males in a soccer setting that has all the necessary elements for the athletes to learn, improve and compete with their own gender as well as opposite gender. The female group has been noticeable underachievers in this sport and is not aware of their potential. The research methodology is ethnographic in nature and study could easily be related to a traditional way to learn and develop in this sport. The method stresses the importance of reproducing procedures that were taught to the researcher. The employment of this method was to provide motivation and additional teaching resources to assist and enhance development of the research participant's potential. This was an ethnographic endeavor that accumulated several sources of data on 13 elite male and female athletes. Based on the data collected interpretations were made regarding their perceptions of the opposite gender. Ethnography was combined with descriptive statistics and employed to elicit and compile the data in the soccer specific testing components and the interviews. Merging techniques of observation (participant observation), field notes, video analysis, individual and group interviews were the sources of rich information for the researcher. This was a practical approach to bring out or discover any overt or covert trends, and to determine what possible barriers to learning would limit and reduce participation in the sport of soccer. The theoretical nature of the research, formal sociology is very much related to observational methods, choosing to gather data in a controlled and organized approach. The researcher's decision to tape the interview process and his preference to videotape events would thereby collect a complete and accurate account of the training progression subject matter. The results in the soccer specific testing indicated that the males were generally faster on sprint runs and had more endurance on the distance runs. However, a few of the females did better some of the males' scores in the aerobic and anaerobic events. The technical and tactical data indicated a slight improvement for the females when comparing pre and posttest results. Once more, the males were more advanced than the females. The psychological data showed the females progressed on the posttest scores. However, there was no overall male domination on the 20 categories. There are different areas on the inventory where females scored higher and other areas where the males would top the females. The interviews provided some enlightening information that confirmed aspects of male domination exist in sport and the feminist's role in sport as bringing attention to many gender issues, the positive and negative aspects of education and sport, the goals and motivation to participate in sport. Finally, the contrasting viewpoints between the American adolescent in this study and the English adolescent in Flintoff's (1993) dissertation and Flintoff and Scraton's (2001) study on physical education and gender issues. The most important finding was that learning had occurred in the training milieu. Learning was accomplished through the males' ability to facilitate the dynamics of attention and discipline required throughout the training sessions that were offered. The soccer specific test results indicated a much more motivated female group and the females' spring season was very successful; the team went undefeated in all competitions. The males in the study began to shed the superior attitude to one of more respect and tolerance of their female counterparts. The female differs emotionally from the male as the interview data illustrated and the co-education environment was both positive and productive, but there are limits to the inclusion of the female gender in the male training sessions. More planning would be necessary to assure that both groups develop. The study not only provided training and testing, but also made the participants more aware of many gender issues and how the research attempted to bridge the gap in sport between the sexes. If adopted, the psychological data could mean major benefits for the player who wants to know exactly what their strengths and weaknesses are; and when actions of strength are required and the capacity to work on weaknesses.Ph.D.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MTech (Business Administration))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2012Organisational citizenship behaviour (OCB) is discretionary behaviour of employees that display altruism, courtesy, conscientiousness and loyalty towards co-workers and the organisation. OCB is important, since it promotes efficient and effective functioning of the organisation (Organ, 1988: 4). Research suggests that OCB is related to perceptions of organisational justice (OJ). OJ refers to fairness of decision making processes in the workplace, employees’ perceptions, and the influence of OJ on workplace behaviour. Perceived fairness determines the extent of employees’ OCB contributions to the organisation. OCB may be increased if employee perceptions of OJ are improved (Moorman, 1991: 845). Anecdotal evidence suggests that many workers at the research site (Company A) display negative OCB, hence identifying a need for this study. The main objective of the study was to determine employee perceptions of OJ, levels of OCB, and to test the nature of the relationship between perceptions of OJ and OCB at Company A. Employees at Company A (N=130) were surveyed regarding their perceptions of OJ and their willingness to display OCB. Cross sectional, quantitative data was collected in a paper based survey, by using existing instruments that were formulated from validated standardised questionnaires to measure OJ and OCB. Responses were analysed, and the results of the study showed that certain components of OJ are related to OCB at Company A. Understanding the effect that management practices have on perceptions of OJ will enable management at Company A to improve interaction with employees in an effort to improve employees’ perceptions of fairness. This should enhance employee/management relations, encourage more citizenship behaviour from employees, and ultimately benefit the organisation.

Full textAbstract:
Beck's cognitive diathesis-stress theory has generated much research into the etiology of depression. Central to the theory are depressogenic schemata that interact with stressors, resulting in increases in depressive symptomatology. These schemata are commonly assessed using the Dysfunctional Attitudes Scale (DAS). Importantly, the DAS was not designed for use in children---it has been validated with adults and contains advanced language. Thus, the Child and Adolescent Dysfunctional Attitudes Scale (CADAS) was developed.Study 1 sought to psychometrically validate the CADAS. 453 children completed the CADAS item pool and measures assessing divergent validity. The CADAS was readministered 3 weeks later. Items were retained based on item-total correlations, internal consistency, and factor analyses. The finalized CADAS is a 22-item self-report measure with a unidimensional factor structure and sound psychometric properties.
Study 2 tested Beck's theory using the CADAS to assess depressogenic schemata as a vulnerability factor for depression. An independent sample of 241 children completed the CADAS and a measure of depression one week before receiving school report cards (Time 1). The morning after receiving reports (Time 2), stress was assessed by obtaining parents' reactions to reports, and with an index of children's subjective acceptable grades compared to actual grades. Five days later (Time 3), depression was reassessed.
As hypothesized, regression analyses collapsing across age revealed that Time 1 CADAS interacted with Time 2 parental stress to predict changes in depression from Times 1 to 3. High-CADAS children showed greater increases in depression relative to low-CADAS children when facing the stress of parental anger and disappointment regarding their grades. Consistent with cognitive-developmental theory, planned supplemental analyses indicated that the CADAS x stress interaction predicted depressive changes only in older, formal-operational children. The relationship between the CADAS x stress interaction and depressive changes was mediated by negative views of the self, but not by views of the world or of the future.
This work yields a measure of depressogenic schemata in school-aged children that further contributes to understanding their etiology of depression. These schemata, together with negative views of oneself, may be important targets for modification in the cognitive therapy of childhood depression.

Full textAbstract:
The Three-Component Model of organizational commitment (TCM) by Meyer and Allen (1991, 1997) is widely regarded as the most dominant model in organizational commitment research (Cohen, 2003, 2007). However, recent research by Solinger et al. (2008) questioned the legitimacy of the TCM as a general model of organizational commitment. More specifically, the authors criticized the TCM for grouping affective commitment as an attitude toward target with continuance and normative commitment as attitudes toward behaviors under one general label of attitudinal construct. Based on the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA; Ajzen & Fishbein, 1980), Solinger et al. (2008) argued that we should consider organizational commitment strictly as an attitude toward the organization (i.e., affective commitment). Based on Eagly and Chaiken's (1993) composite attitude-behavior model, the current study tested the reconceptualization of organizational commitment as a unidimensional construct reflecting employees' attitudes toward the organization (i.e., affective commitment) in predicting several organizational behaviors (i.e., considerate voice, production deviance, and behavioral engagement). In addition, I also investigated whether these organizational behaviors could be better explained by adding different classes of behavioral expectancies (i.e., utilitarian, normative and self-identity expectancies) as antecedents. Finally, I tested the mediating roles of attitude toward behaviors in the relationship between affective commitment and three behavioral expectancies and the three organizational behaviors. A sample of 258 employees in a large-sized organization in China was obtained for this study. The results suggested that none of the hypotheses of the current study was supported by the evidence in the current study. In particular, affective commitment and three classes of behavioral expectancies did not significantly predict their corresponding behaviors. In addition, I also did not find the evidence for the indirect effects from affective commitment and the behavioral expectancies on the behaviors. Several alternative explanations were provided for the results. Among those, the lack of compatibility between affective commitment and the behaviors, the existence of moderators (e.g. national culture), the lack of necessary control to perform the behaviors successfully are key factors that might lead to the current findings. Although none of the hypotheses was supported, I found limited empirical supports for the reconceptualization of organizational commitment strictly as the attitude toward the organization and that organizational behaviors could be better explained by adding appropriate behavioral expectancies to the model (Solinger et al., 2008). Finally, theoretical and practical implications of the current study as well as directions for future research are discussed.

Volitionale Komponenten von Scientific Literacy wie Einstellungen, Interessen und Motivation von Schülerinnen und Schülern wurden bisher wenig untersucht, obwohl Forschungsergebnisse zeigen, dass sie eine wichtige Rolle in der Kompetenzentwicklung spielen. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird die Entwicklung von Schülereinstellungen zu den Fächern Sachunterricht, Naturwissenschaften und Biologie im Laufe der Grundschulzeit und beim Übergang in die Sekundarstufe I untersucht. Die theoretische Grundlage bildet das sozialpsychologische Einstellungskonstrukt. Basierend auf vier verschiedenen Einstellungsausprägungen in Bezug auf „Lernfreude“, „Ziel- und Leistungsorientierung“, „Langeweile“ und „Frustration“ wurde ein längsschnittliches Untersuchungsdesign mit zwei Teilstudien entwickelt. Im Rahmen dieser Längsschnittstudie wurden zwei empirisch geprüfte Instrumente in Form von likertskalierten Fragebögen eingesetzt. Anhand der Befunde kann gezeigt werden, dass sowohl der Übergang zwischen den naturwissenschaftlichen Fächern als auch der Übergang in die Sekundarstufe I die Entwicklung der Schülereinstellungen beeinflusst. Über die Grundschulzeit und darüber hinaus zeigt sich eine stetige Abnahme an Schülerinnen und Schülern mit der Einstellungsausprägung „Lernfreude“ bzw. „Lernfreude und Ziel- und Leistungsorientierung“. Gleichzeitig steigt die Zahl der Schülerinnen und Schülern mit den Einstellungsausprägungen „Langeweile“ und „Frustration“. Nach dem Übergang in die Sekundarstufe I sinkt die Zahl der Schülerinnen und Schüler mit der Einstellungsausprägung „Frustration“ wieder. Mithilfe der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es möglich, in Zukunft Tendenzen vorherzusagen, wie sich Schülereinstellungen in der Grundschule und beim Übergang in die Sekundarstufe I entwickeln. Zudem können die Ergebnisse Lehrpersonen bei der Vorbereitung von Unterricht in den Fächern Sachunterricht, Naturwissenschaften und Biologie von Nutzen sein.Up to now there are few studies investigating volitional components of scientific literacy such as students’ attitudes, interests and motivation. Some research findings show that the volitional components play an important role in competence development. The present study focuses on the development of students’ attitudes towards natural scientific subjects in primary school and during the transition to secondary school. The theoretical framework used is the attitude construct developed in social psychology. The longitudinal research design comprises two sub-studies based upon four different attitude expressions relating to “enjoyment of learning”, “orientation towards aim and achievement”, “boredom” and “frustration”. Two empirically tested questionnaires were put in place in order to investigate the development of students’ attitudes towards the subjects general sciences, natural sciences and biology. In accordance with the findings of other studies the results of this longitudinal study show that the initial “enjoyment of learning” (sub-study 1) as well as “enjoyment of learning and orientation towards aim and achievement” (sub-study 2) declines over the school years. At the same time the attitude expressions “boredom” and “frustration” can be found in an increasing number of students. After the transition to secondary school the number of students with the attitude expression “frustration” declines. There seems to be an impact of the transition on the development of students’ attitudes. Knowing how attitudes develop during the transition to secondary school could be a basis for the design and development of teaching science education and help to form transition programs and strategies which trigger the development of positive attitudes. The outcome of this would be a development of scientific literacy.

Full textAbstract:
The principle purpose of this thesis has been to study and analyse the conception of men and women in business bankruptcy during the 20th century. The analysis is built on a theoretical gender perspective and, combining this view and business and bankruptcy research, the thesis has focused on five themes: business networks, bank contacts, business competence, business characteristics and finally bankruptcy causes. These themes have been in focus when analysing bankruptcies in Uppsala 1920-1939, 1988, 1992 and 1996. A questionnair- and interview study with receivers active in Sweden 2001 has also been carried out. From the bankruptcy cases that have been studied, no specific gender differences have really been discovered. There were some variations between men and women, but it is very hard to claim that these are related to the sex of the debtor more than to the branch or to the individuals. Changes from the inter-war period to the latter part of the 20th century are in these respects also small. The image that the receivers gave through the questionnaire and interview study indicates on the other hand that there existed a conception that men and women seemed different as business owners. It is obvious that there were many receivers who thought that women were different from men in a situation of business bankruptcy, even though several of them stated that they did not beleive in any gender differences.

Les microsystèmes sont le dernier développement de la microélectronique. Leur apparition ouvre des possibilités révolutionnaires dans plusieurs domaines d'application, dont l'exploitation de l'espace. L'utilisation des microsystèmes dans l'espace se heurte au problème de l'exposition à la radiation, notamment pour la partie électronique. Cet obstacle a été surmonte dans le passe par la mise en place de filières de fabrication résistantes (durcies) aux effets de la radiation. Le rétrécissement des budgets militaires a provoqué la disparition de la plupart des technologies de fabrication durcies, ce qui est en train de pousser les constructeurs vers l'emploi de technologies commerciales standard (COTS). L'objectif de cette thèse a été d'investiguer des techniques de conception pour le durcissement d'un microsystème fabrique par une technologie COTS. Le microsystème en question est un capteur de rayonnements infrarouges base sur des thermopiles en silicium, suspendues par une étape de micro-usinage en volume par la face avant. Les éléments pertinents des différents domaines de connaissance impliques sont passés en revue, avec une analyse des techniques de durcissement applicables à la construction de l'électronique de lecture en technologie CMOS. Un programme de caractérisation expérimentale a été réalisé, et il a permis d'établir le niveau de sensibilité de la technologie aux rayonnements et l'efficacité des techniques de durcissement développées. Les très bons résultats obtenus ont permis de passer à la réalisation de la chaine de lecture du capteur, qui a été fabriquée, caractérisée et qualifiée pour l'espace.

partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree
of Master of Arts.The current research report seeks to investigate the relationship between psychological type/cognitive style, and computer attitude components, namely computer anxiety. computer confidence, and computer liking, in a sample of full-time banking employees. Psychological type is assessed by means of the dichotomous preferences of extraversion-introversion (E-I), thinking-feeling (T-F) , and sensing-intuition (S-N), based on Jungian personality theory, and operationalised by the Myers Briggs Type Indicator. The T-F and S-N preferences, being mental processes 0'1 judging or perceiving, may also be interpreted as cognitive styles. Pertinent to the current investigation is the impact that certain demographic variables have on computer attitudes, in terms of their relationship with, and their ability to predict computer attitudes. Research results provide moderate support for the proposed hypotheses. No relationship was found between the extraversion-introversion preference and computer attitudes. People with a sensing preference exhibited more positive attitudes towards computers than people with an intuition preference, People with a thinking preference indicated less computer anxiety and more positive computer attitudes as a whole than their feeling counterparts. No relationship was found between the T- F preference and computer liking or confidence. Age and previous computer experience were found to have the strongest relationships with computer attitudes, suggesting that these two demographics could predict computer attitudes more effectively and conclusively than personality variables. No relationships were found for gender differences and computer attitudes, contrary to previous research.

This paper studies the attitude balance control of unicycles, which can be driven either by human or electrical approaches. The gyro module by HiTechnic and the Mindstorms NXT components by Logo are investigated to measure the unicycle's incline angle. The program design in this work is performed by using BrixCC. Based on the angle and angular rate information obtained from gyro, the servo motor's position and power are controlled by PD control law, and then the attitude balance of the electric unicycle can be maintained.

In this Master Thesis, numerical models of ADCS components are performed. The models will be used in the design of the first 3U CubeSat of the CSU Montpellier, the ROBUSTA 3-A. The goal of the thesis is to develop numerical models of angular rate sensors and reaction wheels and to obtain relevant information of these components in the context of the R-3A mission. Firstly, the state-of-the-art of models are outlined, and the most suitable are chosen. Secondly, assumptions are made, and the models are implemented. Next, the models are parametrized for specific elements to be used on R-3A. Lastly, the models are validated and simulated. The results of simulations confirm a choice of the CoTS components for the R3A mission. Besides, the results provide information about system performance parameters such as RW acceleration time, maximum satellite speed, and attitude knowledge accuracy in eclipse.

Full textAbstract:
Consumer loyalty is generally considered the ultimate goal of relationship marketing. Although accepted definitions of loyalty include both behavioral and attitudinal aspects, the fact is that little is known about the components of behavioral and attitudinal loyalty and their relationship. In addition, hedonic and utilitarian attitudes are important antecedents of consumer behavior that can be manifested in behavioral loyalty. However, little is known about the relationship between hedonic and utilitarian attitudes and different loyalty components. To investigate the above mentioned theoretical gaps, this study identifies and tests several components of attitudinal and behavioral loyalty in a comprehensive model. This model investigates the effect of various hedonic and utilitarian attitudes, and trust, on each attitudinal and behavioral loyalty component. Moreover, it looks at the relationship of each attitudinal loyalty component to each behavioral loyalty component. In the proposed model, attitudinal loyalty components are (1) relationship satisfaction, (2) continuance commitment, (3) affective commitment, and (4) identification, and the behavioral loyalty components are (1) repurchase intention, (2) word-of-mouth (WOM), and (3) cooperation. The survey approach was implemented to collect data in a pretest (80 participants), a pilot study (177 participants), and a main study (1028 participants). Results of the analyses, using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), confirmed that consumer’s hedonic and utilitarian attitudes affect behavioral loyalty directly, and indirectly through the mediation by trust and attitudinal loyalty components.February 2016

Renqing and guanxi are specific inter-personal cultural assets of Chinese society. Renqing is often considered behavior guidelines, and guanxi is treated as important assess to a find inter-personal interactions to others. Therefore, it is common for Chinese to use Renqing and guanxi in social exchanges as well as in businesses encounters. This study adopted Renqing’s (helping, face-saving, reciprocity, pay-back, share and caring, and in-group) and guanxi elements (instrumental and affective components) to examine their effects to organization members’ work attitude, commitment, and job involvement. This study chose multi-level marketing (MLM) companies in Taiwan as research sample. To avoid common method variance (CMV), paired survey was adopted. Each MLM distributor was paired to three to five of their direct down-lines. In total 80 distributors and 341 of their down-lines’ questionnaires were collected. There are two major research findings: 1). All the Renqing’s constructs show positive effect on commitment, except in-grouping. 2). Affective component positively affects commitment and job involvement; instrumental component negatively affects commitment and work involvement. Based on research findings, research and managerial implications and suggestions are provided.

Consumers’ buying decision is very complex. Usually purchasing intention is related with consumers’ attitude. Purchase attitude is an important key point for consumers during considering and evaluating of certain product. The purchase intention is an effective tool use in predicting purchasing process. Once a consumer decides to purchase a product in certain store, he/she will be driven by their intention. However, purchase intention might be altered by the influence of price. This study was developed to understand the gender difference on the attitude components which are affective component, behavioral component and cognitive component and also pricing [high – low price] influencing the purchasing decision of Thai tourists in the Harbour Community Mall Project in Chiang Mai. Therefore, gender was used as the moderator in the study. After 280 participators have finished the experiments at an online survey, this study acquire some results to analyze. To males, in terms of affective component, their responds are not the same with female. On the other hand, the results of male and female of Thai tourists in terms of the behavioral component, cognitive component and also pricing are in the same ways. However, the study found that most of Thai tourists still want to revisit the Harbour Community Mall Project in Chiang Mai.

With the rapid growth of internet, people get more information than ever before. In many network platforms, blogs become important channelsand people like to get some product information, because blogs don’t contain commercial intent and it can be interactive. Therefore, this study investigates how the product attitudes were influenced by the source credibility, message order effect、Electronic Word-of-Mouth Message and the moderating effect of product involvement and product knowledge. This research adopts the Laboratory Experimentation, and three Independent variables such as blogger type of expertise (expertise/non-expertise), the order effect of internet review (positive to negative/negative to positive) and the number of (e)WOM (large/little).Finally, by retrieving 160 effective subjects, we verify the hypothesis by using t-test, simple regression analysis and ANCOVA analysis. The results showed that the source credibility enhanced word of mouth credibility,and word of mouth credibility enhanced subjects’ attitudes of product. After reading the professional blogger’s blog, the highly involved participants were more influence than low involved participants for the building of product attitude.After the highly involved participants and highly product knowledge participants read internet review of product, their attitudes were influenced by the primary effects.In contrast with lowly involved participants and lowly product knowledge participants, their attitudes were influenced by the recency effects.The results could provide the effective recommendations of online marketing to companies.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigated teachers' attitudes towards a career in rural schools. The aims of this study were broken into two, namely, the primary and secondary aims.
The primary aim was to find out whether rural secondary school teachers hold a positive or a negative attitude towards a career in rural schools. The secondary aim was also broken into two. The first secondary aim was to find out whether rural secondary school teachers' personal characteristics such as age, sex, marital status, rank, qualification and teaching experience in rural school(s), as well as the school in which the teacher teaches, have a significant influence on their attitudes towards a career in rural schools. The second secondary aim was to determine the nature of attitudes with regard to A-B-C components of attitudes. To this end, a questionnaire was compiled and used as an attitude rating scale. The
questionnaire was administered to a representative sample of one hundred and thirty four rural secondary school teachers from six schools, under Mehlwesizwe circuit in KwaZulu-Natal.
Statistical analyses were conducted to fulfil the aims of the study and to test the research hypotheses stated. This study revealed that rural secondary school teachers hold a negative attitude towards a career in rural schools. It also revealed that, irrespective of teachers' personal characteristics, their attitude towards a career in rural school is the same, that is, it is negative. Therefore it was
concluded that teachers' personal variables have no significant influence on their attitudes. This study also revealed that, statistically, there were significant
differences in the affective and cognitive components of attitude but differences in the behavioural component were not significant. This indicated that the
affective and cognitive components are more closely related to each other than they are with the behavioural component.
On the basis of teachers' responses to attitude statements, the researcher offered two lines of direction as recommendation, namely, "Rethink resource allocation" and "Direction of restructuring". The former will assist in improving the conditions under which rural teachers work and the circumstances surrounding their
workplace. The latter will assist in collaborating the Reconstruction and
Development Programme (RDP) structures at national, regional and local level with the Department of Education and Culture, as well as with the private sector, for improving the conditions under which rural teachers work. In that case
teachers' attitudes towards a career in rural schools might be changed from negative to positive.Psychology of Education

Full textAbstract:
Marketers and advertisers have long searched for new and more powerful ways to measure the effectiveness of advertising. One data source that has proven useful is consumers’ moment-to-moment affective responses to advertisements. The first essay of my dissertation examines consumers’ moment-to-moment evaluations of advertisements and presents an application of principal components analysis that allows researchers to understand divergence in consumer response and link this divergence to specific elements of the ad’s storyline. While traditional research has focused on the aggregate peak, final moment and linear trend of consumers’ affect traces in predicting overall evaluations of the advertisement, this application provides better predictions of holdout evaluations. Additionally, I find these traditional measures do not provide insight into consumers’ credibility assessments of the advertisement and illustrate that these evaluations are determined much earlier in the advertisement. The second essay of my dissertation examines how important consumer characteristics (receiver factors), such as prior brand attitude and product category involvement, impact consumers’ moment-to-moment affective responses to advertisements. I also examine how these consumer characteristics moderate the relationship between consumers’ affect traces and important downstream variables such as attitude toward the ad, attitude toward the brand and likelihood to purchase the product. I demonstrate that consumers form biased evaluations based on their prior brand attitude and category involvement and illustrate how advertisers can reduce these biases resulting in greater attitude change in consumers less positively predisposed to the product.text

Full textAbstract:
Mini-dissertation submitted in partial compliance with the requirements for the Master's Degree in Technology: Homoeopathy, Durban University of Technology, 2009.Anecdotal evidence suggests that students perceive the research component of the Master’s Degree in Technology: Homoeopathy (M.Tech: Homoeopathy) qualification at Durban University of Technology (DUT) in a negative light, and as an unnecessary obstacle to the qualification and the practice of homoeopathy (Naude, 2008). One of the reasons for this negative perception is that in terms of the Homoeopathic programme, the only exit point is upon completion of the Master’s Degree. Although relevant status is awarded upon completion of N. Dip: Homoeopathy after the third year of study and B. Tech: Homoeopathy after the fourth year of study, no actual certificates/qualifications are awarded or issued nor can the student register/practice as a Homoeopath (Durban University of Technology, 2009). The Homoeopathic profession in South Africa is unique as there are very few professional qualifications which prescribe an obligatory Master’s level qualification in order to register and practice the respective profession. Due to the M.Tech: Homoeopathy being the only exit point in the Homoeopathy programme, every registered student must complete a Master’s dissertation in order to qualify and ultimately practice Homoeopathy in South Africa, this often results in students conducting research for the wrong reasons, without the genuine academic desire to do so or the maturity and skills required (Naude, 2008). According to the Education Department of South Africa (2007), the primary purposes of a Master’s Degree are to educate and train researchers who can contribute to the development of knowledge at an advanced level, or prepare graduates for advanced and specialised professional employment. A Master’s Degree must have a significant research component. iv The Education Department of South Africa (2007), states that a Master’s Degree may be earned in either of two ways: (1) by completing a single advanced research project, culminating in the production and acceptance of a thesis or dissertation, or (2) by successfully completing a course work programme requiring a high level of theoretical engagement and intellectual independence and a research project, culminating in the acceptance of a dissertation. In the latter case, a minimum of 60 credits at level 9 must be devoted to conducting and reporting research. According to the Education Department of South Africa (2007), Master’s graduates must be able to deal with complex issues both systematically and creatively, make sound judgements using data and information at their disposal and communicate their conclusions clearly to specialist and nonspecialist audiences. Graduates must be able to demonstrate self-direction and originality in tackling and solving problems, act autonomously in planning and implementing tasks at a professional or equivalent level, and continue to advance their knowledge, understanding and skills. Methodology A non-experimental descriptive survey was conducted to determine the perceptions of DUT M.Tech: Homoeopathy graduates with regards to research as a component of the degree. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed and 50 anonymous responses were obtained. Raw data was analysed using descriptive statistics and the relationships between variables tested for correlations. v Results 27% of practicing graduates felt that research had a direct benefit on their professional development. Graduates said that after completing research they felt more competent and gained more faith in their profession. 34% of graduates thought that research had a direct benefit on their personal development. Graduates felt that on the path of working towards a long term goal they had discovered that they possessed a significant amount of patience and will power. 40% of graduates agreed that research had no contribution to their personal and professional development as a Homoeopath. Although some graduates said they felt a “sense of accomplishment” upon completing research, other graduates argued that the delay in qualifying as a result of research contributed to the loss of income and valuable clinical knowledge. Conclusions and Recommendations The process of research is a multi–factorial problem. One has to look at each individual case in order to gain insight into how to best address respective problem areas in order to improve the process of research and reduce the delays in qualification. Many graduates expressed dissatisfaction at the inconsistent time factor, from conception of the research design, to awaiting both approval of the DUT 186 and finally the marking of the completed work. Some graduates felt that difficulties relating to the quality and quantity of supervision as well as poor patient/ participant compliance were the factors responsible for their delay in qualification. Many graduates reported that the previously limited Homoeopathic research budget left them compromised for scope, diversity and new ideas. vi It was recommended that future students insist on formal supervision contracts which clearly define issues such as accessibility and timeframes. It was also recommended that future students consider at least two supervisors, preferably one being an external supervisor with suitable specialist skills concerning the respective research study. Furthermore, it was recommended that future research should be designed around easily accessible target populations. The M.Tech: Homoeopathy programme is currently undergoing recurriculation; the new curriculum will be most likely implemented in 2011. A draft curriculum has been designed by academic staff of DUT and University of Johannesburg. The proposed new curriculum aims to addresse issues such as difficulties with research as well as solutions to these difficulties.

It is proven that to communicate appropriately and effectively is extremely important to know the culture of the L2 countries. It is time to put aside the most structuralize ideas that guide the teaching of languages for grammar and vocabulary acquisition. With this work we intend to conduct a case study in a school of Barcelos for high school students, in A2 Level about the importance of teaching socio-cultural aspects (attitudes and values) in ELE classes. Attitudes and values as guiding the behaviour in the classroom context will help because one day they will be consenting adults aware of people multiculturalism and their individuality. The teaching and learning process of second languages should be based on an intercultural approach among people, having as starting point the cultural identity of students and of every human being, to further identify multicultural characteristics of different Spanish-speaking people. Regarding the structure of this work the first part of the report shows the evolution of the culture term to the present day, the different skills in language teaching and guidance documents for teaching foreign languages.

The purpose of this study is to understand the knowledge and attitude toward the environment among teachers and students in senior agricultural schools and the quality and quantity of environmental component in their technical textbooks so as to provide a foundation for improving environmental education for senior agricultural schools. 306 students and 47 teachers in Farm Management Programs from 10 senior agricultural schools were surveyed for their knowledge and attitude toward environment. The content of nine textbooks on agronomy, horticulture, animal science and crop breeding were analyzed for their environmental components. Major findings are summarized below: 1.Students knowledge about population and ecolgical balance are most dificient. 2.In terms of knowledge related to agricultural environment, students show a lacking in understanding in chemical pollution, soil pollution and organic farming. 3.Students have rather positive, but not very active attitude; about 30% of them are likely to engage in behaviors that are desturctive to the environment. 4.70% of the students obtain information about the environmetn from television; the least informative source for students are seminars and lectures. 26% of the students claim to have never gained any information from textbooks. 5.Students residing in urban areas possess more knowledge than those in rural areas. Female students have better attitudes than their male counterparts. 6.Female students obtain more informat about the environment from textbooks than male students. Urban students receive less information about the environment than those in rural areas. Students whose parents are business people get more information about the environment through interpersonal channels and school activities than other students. Students whose parents have high school and higher education obtain more information from mass media. 7.Overall, teachers have superior knowledge and attitudes than students. 8.In technical textbooks, ideas about resources and pollution are most abundant while those on population and ecological balance are most deficient.
