Determining Factor

For dancers to look mostly effective, they need to move as a single body, maintaining a smooth movement along with the music, despite changing directions. Each movement should be more amplified than usual, but with gentle footwork and elegant posture. The slightest deficiency in some ability due to fatigue is a determining factor in whether the dancers will enter the next round. Research aim is to analyze the literature and to reveal Latin American dancers training peculiarities.

Introducción: La relación entre los flujos migratorios y las religiones es algo muy observado; haciendo un recorrido por la historia de la Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Últimos Días en España (SUD) se evidenciará esta relación en el grupo español.Método: Revisión de la literatura de los científicos sociales de la religión que han tratado la relación entre los flujos migratorios y los movimientos religiosos en los últimos años (2005-2016). También se han analizado los datos aportados por el movimiento de los Santos de los Últimos Días en España así como datos del Observatorio de Pluralismo religioso en España.Resultados: Se evidencia cómo la inmigración ha sido un factor determinante para la Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de lo Últimos Días, tanto en sus inicios a nivel mundial así también como determinante en el caso de la permanencia y crecimiento en la sociedad española.Conclusión: El fenómeno migratorio actúa como “salvador” del movimiento de los Santos en España ya que sólo una quinta parte de los bautizados en España son españoles y del idioma es un factor determinante en la procedencia de los miembros extranjeros, ocupando su mayoría la procedencia latinoamericana. Introduction: The relationship between migration and religions is very observed; making a tour of the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) in Spain this relationship will be evident in the Spanish group.Method: Review of the literature of social scientists of religion that have addressed the relationship between migration and religious movements in the last years (2005-2016).

The economic and political crisis which Turkey faced during 1977-1980 was resolved by an orthodox stabilization program adopted early in 1980, immediately followed by conventional structural adjustment measures and the military coup realized on September of the same year. The Turkish experience with orthodox stabilization and structural adjustment incorporates a number of specificities and it will be useful to recall them briefly.First of all, the striking element of continuity in basic economic policy orientation which lasted from 1980 up till 1089 without any significant reversals should be emphasized. The personal role of Turgut Özal as Vice Premier in charge of the economy during 1980-1982 under the military governments and Prime Minister during 1984-1991, was a determining factor in this respect. Reversals and hesitations as observed in Latin American experiences due to differences between rival monetarist schools or between populist and right wing political groupings played practically no role for almost ten years in Turkey. The political pressures which resulted in a switch back to populism in 1989 —a theme to be investigated in this paper— marked, in our view, a drastic shift away from the policy model adopted in 1980.

Determining Factor

This article discusses the important features of the post land reforms agrarian relations in Kerala. The first aspect of contemporary land relations in Kerala is the increasing concentration of land in the hands of the rich. It is also seen that there is a marked decline in the proportion of households who directly depend on agriculture for livelihood. The second aspect of Kerala’s post land reforms agrarian relations is concerned with the land concentration and land grabbing in the plantation sector. Kerala’s big plantations quietly and frequently engage in land grabbing which is similar to the land grabbing happening in Latin American and African continents. The third aspect covered in this article is all about the changing class–caste nexus in Kerala’s occupational structure. Caste is no longer a major determining factor of occupations as was the case in the pre-land reform era. Land reforms could significantly break the traditional caste–class nexus.

Summary: The two main sources of errors in educational and psychological evaluation are the lack of adequate technical and psychometric characteristics of the tests, and especially the failure to properly implement the testing process. The main goal of the present research is to study the situation of test construction and test use in the Spanish-speaking (Spain and Latin American countries) and Portuguese-speaking (Portugal and Brazil) countries. The data were collected using a questionnaire constructed by the European Federation of Professional Psychologists Association (EFPPA) Task Force on Tests and Testing, under the direction of D. Bartram . In addition to the questionnaire, other ad hoc data were also gathered. Four main areas of psychological testing were investigated: Educational, Clinical, Forensic and Work. Key persons were identified in each country in order to provide reliable information. The main results are presented, and some measures that could be taken in order to improve the current testing practices in the countries surveyed are discussed. As most of the tests used in these countries were originally developed in other cultures, a problem that appears to be especially relevant is the translation and adaptation of tests.
