Studying physics during the COVID-19 pandemic: Student perceptions on synchronous and asynchronous course formats and implications for the futureIvanjek, L., Klein, P., Geyer, M.-A., Küchemann, S., Jeličić, K., Dahlkemper, M. N., Susac, A. 06 June 2024 (has links)
To investigate how physics students perceived the sudden shift to online learning at the beginning of COVID-19 pandemic, 18 semistructured interviews were conducted with university students in Austria, Croatia, and Germany. Based on the interviews, a questionnaire was developed and data from N ¼ 578 physics students from five universities in Germany, Austria, and Croatia were gathered. In this paper, we report how students perceived synchronous and asynchronous physics lessons, how their perception correlates with their self-organization skills, which activities and teaching methods were perceived as helpful, and what are the implications for future physics courses. The most common advantages of synchronous course elements reported by students were the possibility to immediately ask questions, the feeling of community and interaction with other students, and the defined daily structure, whereas the most common advantages of asynchronous course elements reported were flexible time management and the possibility to watch videos at their own pace. The data indicate a correlation between preference for synchronous courses and their general self-organization, so instructors should be aware of this connection when planning future courses. Face-to-face lectures at university were perceived as the most helpful course element, followed by the recorded lectures from the instructor and the group work on the assignments, projects, and problems with other students. Furthermore, our results suggest that most students would in the future like to preserve the upload of learning materials and recorded video of the lectures in addition to classroom lectures. Overall, the results of this study suggest that both synchronous and asynchronous course elements should be combined in future online and in-person physics courses.

Aquatic Resources in Foodcrusts: Identification and ImplicationHeron, Carl P., Craig, O.E. January 2015 (has links)
No / Foodcrusts, the charred surface deposits on pottery vessel surfaces, provide a rich source of data regarding container function. This article reviews recent applications focusing on the detection of aquatic resources (marine and freshwater) in pottery vessels using a range of analytical approaches including bulk isotope measurements of carbon and nitrogen, lipid biomarker analysis, and compound-specific carbon isotope determinations. Such data can help to evaluate the presence of reservoir effects when undertaking radiocarbon dating of foodcrust samples. In particular, molecular and isotopic analysis can aid in the selection of suitable candidates for C-14 where it can be demonstrated that aquatic resources are unlikely to contribute to the residue. Prospects for compound-specific C-14 analysis of lipids in foodcrusts and ceramic-absorbed residues are also discussed.

Belewinge van die adolessent in die enkelouergesin as gevolg van egskeidingBasson, Heidi 01 January 2002 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans / The adolescents touched by their parent's divorce often display certain behavioral problems, such as withdrawal, aggression, and deterioration in academic performance, total apathy and misconduct.
These adolescents experience mixed feelings in their period of distress. When one gets behind the reasons for certain behavior, the adolescents usually confess that the parents' divorce affected them. Parents often do not think about the emotional implications their divorce has on their children.
Authors differ about the age at which children are influenced the most by their parents getting divorced. This study confirms suspicions that although adolescents want to break ties with their parents, they still feel threatened when their parents split up. During serious conflict in the family, the divorce is sometimes perceived as positive.
The study makes everybody involved with the adolescent aware of the emotional disruption and the influence a divorce could have on their daily functioning. / Die studie oor die belewinge van die adolessente in die enkelouergesing as gevolg van egskeiding, spruit voort uit waarnemings tydens die interaksie met adolessente wat deur die ouers se egskeiding geraak is. Sodanige adolessente toon dikwels sekere gedragspatrone, soos onttrekking, aggressie, verswakking van akademiese prestasie, algehele lusteloosheid en wangedrag. Wannneer hulle genader word, ontken hulle dikwels dat iets skort. Hulle wil nie anders beskou word as ander adolessente wat nie in dieselfde situasie verkeer nie.
Die ondersoek toon dat adolessente gemengde gevoelens in hulle tyd van nood ondervind het. Wanneer wel agter die rede vir die teruggetrokkenheid of aggressie of verswakkende akademiese prestasie gekom word, erken adolessente gewoonlik dat die ouers se egskeiding hulle onderkry. Ouers dink dikwles nie aan die emosionele uirwerking wat hulle egskeiding op die kinders het nie.
Skrywers verskil oor die ouderdom waarop kinders die meeste deur die ouers se egskeiding beinvloed word. Die respondente in hierdie studie bevestig vermoedens dat, alhoewel adolessente hulself wil losmaak van die ouers, hulle wel bedreig voel wanneer die ouers uitmekaargaan. Tydens ernstige konflik in die gesin word die egskeiding tog soms as positief ervaar. Dit beteken egter nie dat dit vir hulle maklik is nie. Wanneer daar voor die egskeiding min konflik is en die verblyfreelings daarna vir die aolessent aanvaarbaar is, is die aanpassingsproses gewoonlik makliker.
Die studie maak alle betrokkenes by die adolessent bewus van die emosionele ontwrigting waaraan hy blootgestel word en die uitwerking wat dit op sy alledaagse funksionering kan he. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (Voorligting)

Impact and implications of remittances : the case of Zimbabwe from 2000 - 2006Mawadza, Crispen Mauta 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MDF (Development Finance))--University of Stellenbosch, 2007. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Meer en meer mense werk buite hul land van herkoms as ooit tevore, en die geld wat hulle stuur
na hul tuislande kan bestempel word as ‘n belangrike ekonomiese krag. Hierdie geld kan ’n
belangrike rol speel in die ekonomie wat die geld ontvang. Die geld wat reiswerkers tuis stuur
word remise of geldsending genoem en oortref reeds Offisiële Ontwikkelingshulp en oortref
selfs Buitelandse Investering in sommige lande. Hierdie navorsingsverslag fokus op Zimbabwe,
’n land waarvan die ekonomie volgens sommiges reeds lank gelede moes ineengestort het. Die
studie ondersoek tot watter mate geldsending die Zimbabwe ekonomie beskerm teen
ineenstorting.
Die verslag gebruik ’n opname onder verskeie rolspelers om te wys hoe geldsending die
Zimbabwe ekonomie beskerm teen internasionale uitsluiting en sanksies. Zimbabweërs wat die
ekonomiese swaarkry vrygespring het in hul land van herkoms stuur voortdurend geld na vriende en
familie. Remise word deels gebruik as investering in kleinsake, terwyl deel van die buitelandse
valuta investeer word in komoditeite wat die land moeilik deur offisiële kanale sou kon bekom.
Die studie het bevind dat geldsending in 2005 en 2006 ongeveeer 25.5% en 25 persent
respektiewelik tot die Bruto Nasioanle Produk van Zimbabwe bygedra het.
Die studie het verder ’n paar interresante bevindinge gemaak. Een van hierdie is die
ongedokumenteerde verskynsel van defleksie van geldsending na meer stabiele ekonomieë of
geldeenhede. Sulke remise word dan in die land gehou waar dit gegenereer is, of dit word
gestuur in ’n stabiele geldeenheid, of dit word selfs in die vorm van produkte soos kos gestuur. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: More and more people are working outside their countries of citizenship than before. These
people are now a major economic force to their countries of origin as they are sending a lot of
money to relatives back home. This income plays a key role in receiving economies. The money
migrants send home is referred to as remittances and the amount transferred globally has
eclipsed official development assistance (ODA) and in some economies it is well ahead of
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). This research focuses on Zimbabwe, a country whose economy
has long been anticipated to collapse but has so far evaded that implosion. It explores to which
extent remittances are cushioning Zimbabwe’s economy from collapse.
This report uses a survey of a number of role players to show how remittances have cushioned
that economy from the effects of international isolation and sanctions. Zimbabweans who
“escaped” the economic hardships in their country of origin have been consistently sending
money home to their friends and relations. Money received has partly been invested in small
businesses and part of the forex has been used to procure commodities that the country has
struggled to acquire through official channels. The study found that the amount of remittances
sent for 2005 and 2006 has respectively contributed approximately 25.5 and 25 percent to the GDP of Zimbabwe.
The study further made a number of interesting findings. One of these seems to be the
undocumented phenomenon of the deflection of remittances to more stable economies or
currencies. Such remittances would be kept in the country where it is generated, or it would be
sent back in a stable country, or could even be in the form of products such as food.

Employees' adherence to the Occupational Health and Safety Act in the steel manufacturing sectorMojapelo, Jerry 09 1900 (has links)
M. Tech. (Labour Relations Management, Faculty of Management Sciences), Vaal University of Technology. / Industrial accidents have proved to be more prevalent and costly than anticipated especially in developing countries including South Africa. Occupational accidents have direct and indirect cost implications for an organisation as well as society. Governments in many countries have tried to implement legislation to try and curb the scourge of industrial accidents. The primary purpose of this research was to investigate the level of employee adherence to the Occupational, Health and Safety Act (OHSA) 85 of 1993 in the steel manufacturing sector. This research provided an overview of various factors that influences employee’s level of understanding and adherence to the OHSA. This included factors such as information and training in health and safety; employee safety perception, employee safety awareness, employee safety adherence, employee behaviour with regard to health and safety, the role of the union in health and safety issues, accident reporting mechanism, and employee’s perceptions of the influence of rewards on health and safety. A structured questionnaire consisting of closed-ended questions was developed and disseminated in order to gather relevant data. Given the scale of the research, a quantitative research method was implemented. The population for the study strictly consisted of employees working in the steel manufacturing sector. A purposive sampling technique was selected. Statistical Package for Social Sciences 22.0 (SPSS) was used to analyse the data. The sample size of (n) =165 employees was involved in the study. The response rate for the total was (98.5%). Descriptive, frequency, correlation, regression and means analysis was employed in this study. The results of the study indicated that majority of the employees were aware and adhered with the requirements of the OHSA with the organisation.
It was suggested that strong stake holder partnerships between unions, employers and employees be formulated. The state should reinforce the Department of Labour inspectorate by giving it more powers to be able to execute its task meritoriously and efficiently. It further suggested that the state must rapidly focus on recruiting and training more health and safety labour inspectors to ensure appropriate enforcement of health and safety regulations. Lastly it is advisable to create and engrave a health and safety culture within the organisation that focuses on highly on employee involvement and mutual trust. The proposed recommendation for the study, limitations and the conclusion of the study were outlined in Chapter 5.

[en] STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONS OF NETWORK RELATIONSHIPS IN FRANCHISING-TYPE ALLIANCES: A CASE STUDY OF COCA-COLA´S NETWORK OF FRANCHISEES IN BRAZIL / [pt] IMPLICAÇÕES ESTRATÉGICAS DAS REDES DE RELACIONAMENTO DO TIPO FRANCHISING: ESTUDO DE CASO DA REDE DE FRANQUEADOS DA COCA-COLA NO BRASILILTON S P AZEVEDO 25 June 2004 (has links)
[pt] Na indústria de bebidas, como na grande maioria das
indústrias no mundo, as empresas estão estabelecendo
diversos tipos de alianças e até mesmo redes de
relacionamentos estratégicos - para complementar ou suprir
deficiências de seus recursos internos, reduzir riscos e
sustentar sua vantagem competitiva. Portanto, é fundamental
levar em conta o impacto das alianças e redes, ou seja,
adotar a perspectiva relacional nas análises estratégicas
destas empresas. Este trabalho tem como objetivo contribuir
com as recentes pesquisas em redes estratégicas, visando
expandir e complementar os modelos de análise estratégica
tradicionais e desenvolver novos construtos pertinentes aos
relacionamentos estratégicos e às redes que as empresas
estabelecem - focalizando um tipo particular de redes de
alianças : os sistemas de franquias empresariais ou
franchising. Tem como objeto de estudo a rede de
franqueados da Coca-Cola no Brasil, líder no mercado
brasileiro de refrigerantes. É importante lembrar que a
matriz da empresa central da rede - The Coca-Cola Company -
é líder mundial da indústria de refrigerantes, com atuação
em mais de 200 países. O estudo desta rede envolveu
investigação documental, observação participante e um
levantamento tipo survey. No caso deste último, utilizou-se
um questionário semi-estruturado para capturar as
percepções dos gestores das empresas que integram a rede de
franqueados. Os dados foram analisados com base no
referencial teórico, fundamentado em revisão da literatura,
com auxílio de um ferramental para análise estratégica pela
ótica relacional, proposto no âmbito da pesquisa maior na
qual se insere este trabalho (Macedo-Soares 2002). Os
resultados evidenciam novos subsídios relacionais para
apoiar o planejamento estratégico das empresas sob estudo,
complementares àqueles identificados por análises
estratégicas tradicionais - confirmando a aplicabilidade do
modelo de análise e ratificando a importância de se
considerar as implicações das alianças/redes na agenda
estratégica destas organizações. Dentre estes subsídios,
destaca-se a identificação de oportunidades relacionais,
associadas à integração dos parceiros da rede, de explorar
sinergias no compartilhamento de recursos e custos que
neutralizam ameaças tradicionais do macro-ambiente,
notadamente as sócio-econômicas. / [en] In the beverage industry, in common with the majority of
industries worldwide, firms are seeking alliances or even
engaging in networks of strategic relationships - to
complement or overcome shortcomings in internal resources,
reduce risk and sustain competitive advantage. Thus, it is
fundamental to gauge the impact of these alliances and
networks, by adopting a relational perspective in the
strategic analyses of these firms. The objective of this
study is to contribute to recent research on strategic
networks, by expanding and complementing traditional models
of strategic analysis, by way of the development of new
constructs which include the strategic relationships and
networks established by firms. The focus here is on a
specific type of network of alliances, precisely systems of
business franchises or franchising. The object of this
study is Coca-Cola´s network of franchisees in Brazil,
where it is the soft drink market leader. It is important
to remember that the mother company of the network´s
central firm - The Coca-Cola Company - is the world leader
in the soft drink industry, with operations in more than
200 countries. The study of this network was carried out
using documentary investigation, participant observation
and surveys. In the latter case a semi-structured
questionnaire was applied to discover the perceptions of
franchisee managers. The data was analyzed according to a
theoretical framework, based on a review of the literature,
and a tool for strategic analysis from a relational
standpoint, used in the broader research of which the
present study is a part. The results reveal new relational
aspects, useful in the strategic planning of the firms
studied, and which complement those identified by
traditional strategic analyses - thus confirming the
applicability of this model of analysis, and the
importance of taking into account the implications of
alliances/networks in these organizations´ strategic
agenda. Especially relevant is the identification of
relational opportunities associated with the integration of
network partners to exploit synergies in cost and resource
sharing, which can neutralize traditional, notably socio-
economic, macro-environmental threats.

Previous issue date: 2015-10-20 / Labor Law and Social Security Law currently represent two autonomous fields of Legal Science, and encompass the idea of protection for the working person, especially the employee under a work contract. Labor Law is responsible for protecting labor rights, whereas Social Security Law includes a significant number of provisions, represented by benefits and services available to the employee whenever he/she is faced with the contingencies which this field of law seeks to cover. The ultimate goal of this study is to analyze the impact of social security benefits on the individual work contract. To this end, we provide a brief overview of labor concepts, especially those regarding the work contract itself. Next, we present a few established social security laws in order to allow for a better comprehension of that which is the essence of this paper, that is, the theoretical and practical implications of social security benefits of Regime Geral de Previdência Social (General Social Security System and Special Social Security) RGPS on the work contract. Among all the benefits currently provided by the RGPS, we have not touched on the issue of pension benefit due to death, neither that of the reclusion aid, as they both involve benefits for the dependents of the insured individual, and therefore do not require debates regarding work contracts. Finally, we were able to establish that the social security benefits have a greater or lesser impact on the work contract, depending on each specific benefit, as they guard against different social risks / Direito do Trabalho e Direito Previdenciário representam na atualidade dois ramos autônomos da Ciência Jurídica, e encerram a ideia de proteção à pessoa que trabalha, em especial àquele trabalhador submetido a um contrato de trabalho subordinado. O Direito do Trabalho é responsável pela garantia de direitos trabalhistas, ao passo que o Direito Previdenciário contém um rol expressivo prestações, representadas por benefícios e serviços que estão à disposição do empregado quando este estiver sujeito às contingências que este ramo do direito objetiva amparar. O propósito último desse estudo é analisar o reflexo dos benefícios previdenciários no contrato individual de trabalho. Para tanto, fez-se uma breve exposição de conceitos trabalhistas, sobretudo no que diz respeito ao próprio contrato de trabalho. Em seguida foram descritos alguns institutos do Direito Previdenciário, a fim de permitir uma melhor compressão daquilo que é a essência dessa obra, qual seja, as implicações teóricas e práticas dos benefícios previdenciários do Regime Geral de Previdência Social RGPS no contrato de trabalho. De todos os benefícios que atualmente o RGPS dispõe, não se tratou acerca da pensão por morte, nem tampouco do auxílio-reclusão, por serem benefícios destinados aos dependentes do segurado e, portanto, não demandam debates frente ao contrato de trabalho. Ao final, foi possível constatar que os benefícios previdenciários impactam em maior ou menor medida no contrato de trabalho, a depender de cada benefício em específico, haja vista que tutelam riscos sociais distintos
