Pastaraisiais metais plėtojantis modernizmui ir modernizacijai pastebima pasaulinių nacionalinio tapatumo pokyčių, kurie skatina nacionalizmo ir tapatybės tyrimus. Komunikacinės technologijos ir globalizacijos procesas gali turėti įtakos nacionaliniam tapatumui. Pagrindinis šio pranešimo tikslas – aprašyti ir ištirti tautinį tapatumą ir esminius su juo susijusius veiksnius. Šiam tikslui atskleisti taikomas tiriamasis apžvalgos metodas, pasirinkta apklausti Islamabado ir Gilanegharbo 165 studentus bakalaurus. Tyrimo rezultatai parodė, kad nacionalinis tapatumas yra labai svarbus (jis vertinamas 3,92 skalėje nuo 0 iki 5), taip pat kaip svarbūs įvardijami ir kiti kintamieji, tokie kaip interneto aplinka, palydovinių ir palydoviniu būdu perduodamų programų žiūrėjimas, vaizdo filmų ir televizijos programų žiūrėjimas. Nustatyta, kad šie veiksniai turi neigiamą įtaką nacionaliniam tapatumui.Analizuojant kurdų pasisakymus matyti, kad nedidelė populiacija, etninės ypatybės, tradicijos kartais nulemia nacionalinio tapatumo silpnėjimą.National identity and globalization. A survey among undergraduate students in Islamabad and Gilanegharb cities (Iran)Alimohammad Javadi, Maryam Javadi SummaryIn the recent years, due to the expansion of modernism and modernization on a global scale, there have been developments at cultural and structural levels, resulting in a change in national identity and making the study of nationalism and identity become an important topic in social science. Communication technologies and globalization can affect national identity. The main goal of this article is to describe and analyse national identity and related major factors. For this purpose, a survey of a sample of 165 undergraduate students in the cities of Islamabad and Gilanegharb (Iran) in the education year 2007 was considered, (the population are Kurds in Islamabad and Gilanegharb, Kurds being an ethnicity in Iran). The results have indicated that the rate of national identity is high (mean = 3.92 of 0 to 5), and the variables at the use of sexual environment of the Internet, the rate of using satellite programs and their kinds, VCD and related programs have a negative effect on national identity, and the variables like satisfaction with work and facilities of welfare, intimacy with family, satisfaction with having facilities of welfare in the nation of Kurds have a positive effect on national identity. Ethnicity and the low size of population affect the decrease of national identity. In the multi-variable regression analysis, the effect of independent variables reached about 64%, and the variables that could be included as independent variables into the regression model are as follows: satisfaction with job in Iran, relationships with friends, ethnic intimacy with the family, the rate of the use of satellite, tradition and satisfaction with the facility of education.Key words: national identity, globalization, mass media, new media, ethnicitybsp;

Diffusion Of Responsibility

We proposed that a moderator, others' similarity, would determine the impact of high participation rates of others on an individual's charitable behavior, and aimed to show that this moderator would work through the diffusion of responsibility motive. Participants (N = 152 undergraduate students) completed measures of charitable behavior and diffusion of responsibility, after being assigned to 1 of 2 conditions where a set percentage of other students (manipulated as either similar undergraduate students or dissimilar graduate students) were stated to have already donated to a charitable campaign (high contribution condition = 70% participation, low contribution condition = 30% participation). Our results showed that the high participation rate of others increased an individual's charitable behavior when the others in question were similar to that individual, but not when the others were dissimilar. In addition, the high rate of participation by others increased the diffusion of responsibility motive when the others in question were dissimilar to that individual, leading to a negative effect on that individual's charitable behavior.

Atherosclerotic Changes

Background: Population-based studies have shown good correlation between severity of atherosclerotic disease in one arterial bed and involvement of other vessels. However, in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), it remains unclear whether atherosclerotic plaque in an artery might regress or progress in parallel with other vessels. Accordingly, the present study was performed in patients with CAD to compare changes in plaque volume (PV) between the left main (LMT) and right coronary arteries (RCA), thoracic descending aorta (TDA) and common carotid artery (CCA), and to clarify clinical factors and biomarkers which might affect changes in PV in each artery. Methods: Using 64-multislice computed tomography, PVs in each artery were determined before and after 2.0-year follow-up period in 52 patients with CAD (67.4±9.9yo). Based on our previous study using ultrasound, CCA-PV was determined at windows of 90–240HU and TDA-PV determined manually. Coronary soft plaque was determined at windows of 0–75HU. Plasma levels of hsCRP, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 and urinary 8-iso-prostaglandin F2 α (PGF) were determined at baseline. Results: At baseline, PVs of TDA were correlated with CCA-PV (r=0.38, p<0.02), but PVs of other arteries did not correlate to each other. Two-year later, PVs of LMT, RCA, TDA, and CCA were reduced in 41, 62, 27, and 39% of patients, respectively. Changes in LMT-PV were weakly related with those of TDA-PV (r=0.37, p=0.02) and RCA-PV (r=0.31, p=0.08), but there were no relation between other arteries. The multivariate analysis revealed that treatment with statin and low LDL-cholesterol (C, <100mg/dl) were independent variables regarding a reduction in DTA-PV, but, in LMT, only low LDL-C was independent variable. However, there were no independent variables in RCA or CCA. The ratio of soft PV to total PV was similar between LMT (45.2±7.1%) and RCA (45.7±4.9%) at baseline and was unchanged in the follow-up study. None of hsCRP, MMP-9 or PGF levels was related with PVs of any arteries at baseline and with changes in PVs. Conclusions: Regression of PV in one arterial bed dose not necessarily allow us to predict atherosclerotic changes in the other vessels. Major factors which affect changes in PV may not be homogeneous between arteries.

PurposeThe internet has made it possible to diffuse totally digitized products on a very large scale. The newspaper business is one of the sectors that has been most affected by this technological revolution. Given such products’ uneven commercial success, an analysis of the literature suggests that these mixed results could be explained by the digitized nature of the product combined with a price judged too high. Both these elements reduce the perceived global value of the digital support compared with the print version on paper. To test this proposition, the authors have constructed an experimental design, manipulating the format (digital newspaper vs. print newspaper) and the price (high vs low). The results show that newspaper digitization significantly reduces perceived global value for the consumer compared with the print format. The authors also show that the perceived intangibility of the product exerts a more complex effect on perceived global value: this effect depends on both the nature of the intangibility (mental vs physical) and the cost and benefit analysis.Design/methodology/approachAn experimental study was conducted with two factors: digitalization (print vs digital format) and price (low vs high). The authors carried out a mixed-factor variance analysis and follow Preacher and Hayes procedure to test the hypothesis. A sample of 387 undergraduate students was interviewed in laboratory.FindingsThe results show that newspaper digitization significantly reduces (i.e. destroys) perceived global value for the consumer (i.e. it destroys value), compared to the print format. The reuslts also show that the perceived intangibility of the product exerts a more complex effect on perceived global value: this effect depends at the same time on the nature of the intangibility (mental vs physical) and the account taken of costs and benefits.Originality/valueOne major result is the fact that digitizing newspaper strongly destroys its perceived global value for the consumer, compared to the physical alternative. To explain this phenomenon, the product’s perceived intangibility had been considered, as well as how this is related to the perceived costs and benefits. It appears that it has an overall direct negative effect on perceived value; therefore, the more a newspaper format is perceived as physically intangible, the more its perceived global value decreases. Results shows that this loss of value can be counteracted in two different ways, through the indirect effects of costs and benefits.

This paper explores the complexity of ‘teaching excellence’ (Kreber, 2002) in contemporary higher education. It describes how a university academic, who has been the recipient of numerous teaching awards, questions if they really are an ‘excellent teacher’ and if their student-centered philosophy is sustainable.  An analysis of data related to teaching and learning effectiveness over a seven year period highlights a significant weakness in how the academic approached the teaching of undergraduate students.  This had a subsequent negative effect on several levels.  The paper concludes by describing the merits of academics ‘centering’ themselves between the corporate university and the needs of students in striving for ‘teaching excellence’.

Forming national identity is placed on top of the seven aspects of High-Impact Educational Practices (HIEPs) in Northern Border University. Similarly, the concept of academic awareness to national literature has been one of the main challenges to national literature in the Middle East. Just as the strong presence of national identity in Saudi’s 2030 vision has initiated re-evaluations of how national identity is shaped, Saudi novel has similar concerns that inform social constructs of national identity through overarching themes and comprehensive representations of cultural issues. This study investigates the ways in which two Saudi novelists interrogate the intertwined issues shared by 2030 vision and national novel which address the archetypal Saudi identity: first, that the construction of modern identity requires much cultural openness with the world; second, that construction of Saudi identity needs exclusion of otherness; and third, that national identity depends on the rich history of two historical regions – Najd and Hijaz - that binds identity to a unified territory. The study focuses on how these novels give visibility to issues that are at the core of 2030 vision’s social and cultural aspect such as life style, appearance behaviours, attitudes, accepting differences and willingness to work and volunteer. Drawing on this narrative analysis, the study advocates for the utility of introducing national novel for undergraduate students to help them perceive identity as a position and support their identity enactment.
