In this study, it is aimed to examine the effect of perceived organizational support of employees on the level of work-leisure conflict. The working group of the research consists of the personnel of the Ministry of Youth and Sports, who are working in Ankara. In addition to the personal information form, the “Work-Leisure Conflict Scale” and “Perceived Organizational Support Scale” were used in the data collection phase of the research. T-test for comparing the total scores obtained from the scales with the variables of regular activity participation, daily leisure time sufficient; Descriptive statistics were used to determine the scores obtained from the scales, Pearson Moment Correlation Test and Regression Analysis research were used to determine the relationship between the variables. For this study, the internal consistency coefficient for WLC was determined as .95, and the internal consistency coefficient for POS was determined as .90. The findings show that the participants showed an average WLC level, on the other hand, they had POS scores above the average. On the other hand, it was found that there were significant differences between the participants' daily leisure time, regular activity participation variables, and WLC and POS levels, there was a negative and low-level relationship between WLC and POS (r1=-.231, p<.01). It has been determined that POS affects WLC. The findings reveal important data to draw attention to the perceived organizational support of employees in reducing work-leisure conflict. ​Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file.   Özet   Çalışmada işgörenlerin algılanan örgütsel desteğin iş-serbest zaman çatışma düzeyine etkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.

The Mind

Those who would introduce mentalistic terms into the explanation of behavior need to recognize both the syntactical and the semantic problems involved in such explanations. To be fruitful, any set of explanatory terms must have both a grammar and a lexicon for their proper use. If a theorist emphasizes semantics at the expense of syntax, then his explanatory terms cannot contribute substantially to any explanation for which they might be invoked, no matter how firmly the terms are anchored semantically. on the other hand, if a theorist emphasizes syntax at the expense of semantics, then the theory may have considerable formal elegance and internal consistency but be worthless for lack of empirical testability. A model of the mind is described which illustrates this latter point.

The authors try to explain the situation more than two decades later from the historical point of view. All the electoral premieres during the "Spring of nations" from 1989 till 1991 featured a showdown between the ruling Communists and their successor parties and the newly formed or emerging opposition. The opposition was victorious in all the discussed countries other than Bulgaria and Romania. On the other hand, none of the coalitions or big tent parties from the early 1990s survived next two decades. Only in few cases, really stable party systems emerged until 2010s.

The One

Black fighters’ construction of manhood straddled the line between Victorian respectability and sporting manhood. In other words, many tried to emulate their middle-class brothers. Despite spending their leisure time in the sporting culture, when they had a chance most black prizefighters publicly placed themselves as economically responsible patriarchs. They wanted to prove that their manhood went beyond their physicality, on the one hand, and was not solely rooted in the disreputable sporting culture, on the other hand. As part of the black-middle class’s strategy to prove their equality, race men grounded their manhood in thrift and patriarchy. If the pugilist could avoid the perils of the sporting world, he could properly represent the aspirations of the black middle class.

The Law

Hugo Grotius believed that last wills belonged to the Law of Nature, whereas Samuel Pufendorf argued that testamentary succession was a mere creation of human laws. I argue that Pufendorf’s rejection of the Natural Law origins for wills lacks internal consistency in both his Natural Law system and his proprietary rights theory. Pufendorf even contradicts his own previous claim stating wills are recognised by the Law of Nature as useful to the promotion of social peace. Grotius’s analysis of testaments, on the other hand, brief though it may be, is entirely consistent with his previous arguments: that the Law of Nature can attach itself to human creation; and that a human creation such as testamentary succession belongs to Natural Law when derived from, or when it agrees with, human reason and sociability.

Behavioral Information

The availability of better behavioral information about their customer portfolios holds the promise for different and more accurate pricing models for insurers. Changes in pricing, however, are always fraught with danger for insurers, as they enter long-term commitments with incomplete historical information. On the other hand, sharing personal information is still viewed with skepticism by consumers. Which type of personal information are consumers willing to share with insurers, and for what purpose? How would they like to be rewarded for this openness? For insurers, how will the transition shift their risk portfolios? This paper addresses these questions for auto insurance, particularly how the self-assessment of one’s driving style impacts this dynamic. In a survey of approximately 900 Swiss residents, we found that offering a compensation, especially premium discounts, but also services, significantly improves willingness to share information. Higher trust in insurance increases sharing. Women and younger people are more willing to share information. On the other hand, customers are less willing to disclose, to insurers, information not traditionally associated with insurance. The self-assessment of driving style also plays a significant role. More risk-averse driving styles are correlated with higher sharing. Conversely, riskier driving styles are correlated with lower sharing. This result is significant for insurers, as new data-driven pricing and services models should tend to attract less risky customer portfolios.

In diatonic modulation, a common chord is used between the home and destination keys. Modulation made in this way is given names such as "common chord modulation" or "diatonic pivot chord modulation" in different sources. The common chord is the bridge used to transition between keys at the point where modulation takes place. In choosing this bridge, It is widely accepted that the IInd, IVth or VIth degrees of destination key are preferred. In this study; The use of common chords with alteration during modulation is discussed in terms of the prescriptiveness of the Classical period and the stance of the Romantic period against these rules. The lieds selected from the Classical period and the Romantic period were compared in terms of the use of common chords with alteration during modulation. As a sample, 232 lieds selected from Beethoven, Mozart, Reichardt, Zelter, Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, Franz and Jensen were analyzed. In the lieds examined within the scope of the study, it was observed that most of the 3rd of the common chords used during modulation were altered. This alteration is the most useful tool in both the Classical and Romantic periods. The use of common chords is remarkable in that it does not create a usage difference between Classical and Romantic periods. In terms of the composers of the lieds studied; When looking at the use of alteration in common chords; Brahms uses five different alterations in common chords that prepare the tone during modulation; Beethoven and Jensen, on the other hand, differ from the other composers studied within the scope of the research, in that they include only one type of alteration. ​Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file.   Özet Diyatonik modülasyonda genellikle, bulunulan ton ve gidilecek ton arasında bir ortak akor kullanılarak yeni tona geçiş yapılır. Bu şekilde yapılan modülasyonlara farklı kaynaklarda, “ortak akor modülasyonu” ya da “diyatonik pivot akor modülasyonu” gibi isimler verilmektedir. Ortak akor, modülasyonun gerçekleştiği noktada, tonlar arası geçişi sağlamak için kullanılan köprüdür. Bu köprünün seçiminde ise gidilecek tonun II., IV. ya da VI. derecelerinin tercih edilmesi yaygın olarak kabul görmektedir. Bu araştırmada; modülasyon sırasında alterasyon içeren ortak akorların kullanımı, Klasik dönemin kuralcılığı ve Romantik dönemin bu kurallara karşı duruşu açısından ele alınmıştır.  Klasik dönem ve Romantik dönemden seçilmiş liedler modülasyon sırasında alterasyon içeren ortak akorların kullanımı açısından karşılaştırılmıştır. Örneklem olarak Beethoven, Mozart, Reichardt, Zelter, Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, Franz ve Jensen’den seçilmiş 232 lied incelenmiştir. Araştırma kapsamında incelenen liedlerde, modülasyon sırasında kullanılan ortak akorların en çok 3lülerinin altere edildiği görülmüştür. Bu alterasyon, hem Klasik hem de Romantik dönemde en kullanışlı araç olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Ortak akorların Klasik ve Romantik dönem arasında bir kullanım farkı oluşturmaması dikkat çekicidir. İncelenen liedlerin bestecileri açısından; ortak akorlarda alterasyon kullanımına bakıldığında; Brahms, modülasyon sırasında tonu hazırlayan ortak akorlarda beş farklı alterasyonu da kullanmasıyla; Beethoven ve Jensen ise sadece bir tür alterasyona yer vermeleriyle, araştırma kapsamında incelenen diğer bestecilerden farklılaşmaktadırlar.

Tags are an effective tool for organizing and retrieving Web 2.0 data, but they show low adoption rates when organizing and retrieving personal files and emails. Tags potentially offer flexible organization and retrieval by letting users apply multiple labels to the same information item. In practice, however users prefer folders over tags, and make very little use of multiple classification. In Web 2.0 settings the sheer number of information items means that users cannot possibly know where every item is located. In PIM on the other hand, users are highly familiar with their own information organization, having stored items according to their own subjective needs. In most PIM settings, they are therefore able to retrieve their own personal information quickly and efficiently without the need to generate multiple retrieval labels.

Clear Increase

In Spanish sports habits, there exists a clear increase of the institutionalised sports practice and a distinct trend of leisure and recreational sport. This motivates the current work as it is necessary to go deeply into the knowledge of this practice. The aims proposed are twofold. On the one hand, to perform an analysis of the profile and the characteristics of the behaviour of the users of sports centres and leisure and recreational sportspeople. And, on the other hand, to study the motives of leisure/recreational sports practice. A descriptive quantitative methodology has been followed in this research. The description of the profile of users emerges from the data analysed as well as that they practise sport for exotelic reasons. The results obtained can serve managers to orientate their strategies destined to satisfy the needs of these users.

This study was performed in order to examine the relationship between organizational support perceptions and self-sufficiency levels of logistics sector employees and to determine whether organizational support perceptions and self-sufficiency levels of employees differ according to some specification. The questionnaire form consisting of perceived organizational support scale in accordance with the purpose, general self-sufficiency scale and personal information form, was applied to 124 employees of 3 separate logistics firms operating in Istanbul. The data obtained from the questionnaire were analyzed using SPSS17.0 statistical software package on computer. In the assessment of data, descriptive characteristics of employees were determined by frequency and percentage statistics and the self-sufficiency and perceived organizational support levels by the mean and standard deviation statistics. The t test, Tukey test and one-way Anova tests were utilized in determining employees' self-sufficiency and perceived organizational support levels differentiation according to descriptive characteristics, and correlation analysis was utilized in determining the relationship between self-sufficiency and perceived organizational support levels of employees. In conclusion, it was determined that there was statistical relationship between organizational support and self-sufficiency levels perceived by logistics sector employees. Accordingly, when employees' perceived organizational support levels increase then self-sufficiency levels also increase, and when perceived organizational support levels decrease then self-sufficiency levels also decrease.

AbstractWe have developed a model for theH2OandOHevolution in a comet outburst, assuming that together with the gas, a distribution of icy grains is ejected. With an initial mass of icy grains of 108kg released, theH2OandOHproductions are increased up to a factor two, and the growth curves change drastically in the first two days. The model is applied to eruptions detected in theOHradio monitorings and fits well with the slow variations in the flux. On the other hand, several events of short duration appear, consisting of a sudden rise ofOHflux, followed by a sudden decay on the second day. These apparent short bursts are frequently found as precursors of a more durable eruption. We suggest that both of them are part of a unique eruption, and that the sudden decay is due to collisions that de-excite theOHmaser, when it reaches the Cometopause region located at 1.35 × 105kmfrom the nucleus.
