This is not a research essay, it is a survey of the characteristics of present-day research essays in Italian educational linguistics. Many weak points are pointed out, most of which concern ‘borders’, such as the fuzzy epistemological borders between educational linguistics and other scientific areas; the frequent overlapping of different research typologies, which require different methodologies and have different rhetorical structures; confusion as far as implied readers are concerned. The consequence is that sometimes edulinguistic research allows amateurish trips outside educational linguistics, and allows for non educational linguists to take amateurish trips (and sometimes jobs) in the field of educational linguistics. A tentative list of parameters that can be used by referees, editors and evaluators is provided, in order to define the quality of studies before they are accepted in journals and conferences.

Quality In Education

Ensuring the existing capacities as a basic condition for a quality education, in education is connected in the beginning with a level of consciousness that captures in itself the need of educational planning building. These mechanisms despite that they are legal it has also to do with building up the capacities through twinning projects, funded by EU. The planning process has started by the SWOT program. The analyses showed weak points for ensuring the quality in education and they are separation of responsibilities between institutions. What is indispensable in Kosovo, it is building mechanisms to ensure quality assessment. The methods used in this paper are more research of materials and less comparative as far as the course and previous actions in Kosovo education. It is approved and entered into effect the law for education and capacity enhancement in Kosovo that aims supplying the people of all ages with professional knowledge. During the theses paper we are going to elaborate wider many theoretical and practical issues which deal with intentions, strategies and European standards which coordinate possibilities of accomplishment of objectives and ranking Kosovo education within education of European countries.

Tourism is an information intensive industry and as a service industry, information is the most significant quality factor for the industry. E-tourism is part of electronic trade that includes the fastest developing technologies that assist to the hospitality and tourism strategic planning and management. The aim of this paper is to analyze and compare the quality of 3 Internet sites and detecting their strong and weak points by analyzing quality into its constituent dimensions. Research was carried out by personal interviews and via electronic mails to a sample of 413 persons and internet users, out of which 157 responded. Statistical analysis included simple and multiple comparisons ANOVA and t-tests. Research detected some medium quality ratings, as well as, some more positive evaluations of certain individual factors. The Internet sites that collected the highest ratings are Agrotravel (5.32), Guest inn (5.08) and Ecotourism (4.26). Elements considered important in all three web portals are the lack of interaction facilities and conversation sections and personalized options with user personal accounts. Emphasis must be paid on the design, information, interaction and overall quality of a web site.

Reduction Of Energy Consumption

Abstract This review covers the effect of mechanical pre-treatment of wood chips on the energy consumption in refining and the quality of pulp. To understand the mechanisms of mechanical pre-treatment, a short description of relevant refining theory and reported effects of pre-treatment on wood morphology is given. Mechanical pre-treatment offers a chance to utilize the energy needed to defibrate chips in a more efficient way, minimizing the cyclic elastic deformations which are the main defibration mechanism in refining. Studies of fibre morphology indicate that compressive pretreatment mechanically introduces favorable weak points in the S1 and S2 fibre walls where defibration proceeds easier upon subsequent refining. Published results which cover the effect of the pretreatment on energy consumption and pulp properties are reviewed. Energy reduction of between 10% and 30% is reported in the literature. High ratio of volumetric compression is necessary. Pressurized conditions are required to ensure that the fibres are not damaged during the pre-treatment. Other effects of compressive pretreatment include a more uniform chip size and moisture content, better penetration of chemicals and removal of extractives from the chips. A list of equipment used for chip pre-compression is provided together with published results of pilot-scale and mill-scale operation.

Purchasing Process

Nowadays, the existence of a business unit and the fact of the purchasing process are not enough by themselves to understand the consumer behaviour. Customers don’t only have different preferences, but they are also critical, with higher and higher expectations. To understand all of these we carried out studies in the fully transformed SPAR supermarket in Kaposvár in 2016 and 2017. Our aimed to completely come to know the effect that this renewed supermarket has on its customers. During we research the first pillar that determines the main aspects of choosing a shop and customer satisfaction.  We mapped every inch of the shop by observations based on predefined criteria. We were exposed to direct communication with numerous consumers that helped me further to enlighten the strong and weak points of the shop.  The first impression and all the information coming from direct experience had positive effect thanks to the reopening. When the business unit became more and more cognoscible, more and more difficulties and also positive experiences surfaced due to carrying out both purchasing process and specific researches as well. The observations supported the result of the surveying because amongst 159 customers the closeness of the shop and habit primarily dominated as the main factors when choosing a shop, besides the nice and fresh appearance. After the formerly mentioned come the prices and the importance of the quality of the products, in different order. Concerning the modernized supermarket, customers expressed either their satisfaction and loyalty or their dissatisfaction. However, by applying the Homburg-Stock employee satisfaction-loyalty matrix on the customers We founded that more than 80% of the responders are satisfied with the shop and 40% of the consumers confirmed their loyalty. Still, in order for the customer to form a certain degree of loyalty towards a product or a shop, the customer first have to be satisfied and the satisfaction has to be maintained. Over time the expectation and longing subside giving space to the routine and the monotonous circulation of customers that need to be resolved by the marketing tools of the supermarket.

Higher Education has the function of developing capabilities in order to educate the nation's life in accordance with Law Number 12 of 2012 concerning Higher Education. The aim of this research is to analyze and describe in depth through a field study of the quality manajement of midwifery clinical laboratories in increasing the competence of graduates (case studies of midwifery practice at Polytechnic Bhakti Asih Purwakarta and Stikes Kharisma Karawang. The research method in this dissertation used a qualitative approach. Data were collected using in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation study. The data of this study were checked for correctness and reliability through the triangulation process. Based on the results of the research, the implementation process of the midwifery clinical laboratory practice learning at the Bhakti Asih Polytechnic of Purwakarta and Stikes Kharisma Karawang went well. The method taught to students when conducting laboratory practice simulations makes a positive contribution to student competence and graduate competence. Weak points that arise in the implementation of learning are limitations in the infrastructure and facilities in each institution, and practice supervisors are still lacking in clinical experience in the field so that manajement has an impact on the quality of midwifery clinical laboratory manajement.

Innovation Policies

The aim of the paper was to identify the present situation in innovation policies of small and medium-sized enterprises in the South Moravian and Moravian Silesian regions. In order to achieve the specified objective, quantitative research was carried out in the small and medium-sized enterprises by way of questionnaires. The achieved results imply that the enterprises under investigation apply competitive strategy focusing on top quality of goods on offer. The research manifested that the companies focused markedly on innovations in supplying products on offer with additional functions or features. The research results show that the companies do not conduct changes in production organization frequently, not even following their earlier innovative activities. The results of the research into the innovative activity “change in product design” imply that this activity is not applied frequently in comparison with the above-mentioned activities. Based on the interviewed companies' weak points in human resources, the elementary drawbacks include lack of management's command of foreign languages as well as production staff's expert skills. The results of the research imply that the interviewed companies perceive the sphere of products (improved product quality, extension of a product range), the sphere of new technologies and the sphere of an increase in market potential as the most significant. The questionnaire inquiry shows that innovative and development activities are most frequently financed from companies' own funds, subsidies/grants, bank credits and leases. Mortgages and venture capital are only made used of occasionally.

predict counter-arguments to your own. Then you can consider how you would deal with them. The essential quality of a well structured argument is that it takes the reader/ listener from the beginning to the end and makes them hold to the opinion that the argument is correct or the most plausible argument. Sometimes, the process of argument uses bridges from one fact to another that are not made of evidence but of inference. It is not wrong to assert a proposition that is not backed by evidence, but an adjudicating body is not compelled to accept the validity of an unproved proposition. It is difficult to refute a proposition backed by strong evidence but of course evidence is not always strong, it may be tenuous, or medium strong, etc. So, there are many variables present in an argument. One has to look for the weak points. Most adjudicating bodies have elements of discretion and can accept the tenuous but plausible explanatory bridge from one proven fact to another as the argument progresses to conclusion. Much depends on the minor or major nature of the proposition asserted. If it is pivotal for the case, then it must be backed by evidence. Lawyers will tend to take the little jumps with plausibility and, hopefully, the big jumps with proven propositions! At the everyday level of explanation, a legal argument tends to say: • This happened. • The following law states that this behaviour is illegal in certain circumstances. • These witnesses, these official documents, this forensic evidence prove that it happened. • It can be proved therefore that X did this. • X, therefore, broke the law. An essay may argue about theory, rather than fact, but the structures remain the same. Argument construction is not difficult if there has been meticulous preparation of information. The argument will be basic or elegant depending upon the development of skills, understanding of the law, the level of preparation, thought and reflection that has gone into the argument construction. What one gets back is proportional to the quality of what has gone in. A strong argument may ultimately be rejected if there is a fair amount of discretion, but the person who has forwarded it will know it is good. Indeed, often an adjudicator, even when deciding against an argument, will compliment the argument constructor on the art with which it was done. 7.10 THE MODIFIED ‘WIGMORE CHART METHOD’ Anderson and Twining (1991) brought the Wigmore Chart Method to the attention of legal educators. This is an interesting method using symbols, numbers and key lists to allow simultaneous consideration of evidence and facts to enhance factual analysis and ultimately impact legal analysis. The chart is set out in Figure 7.16, below, as a preview. The remainder of this section explains how such a chart is produced, what it says, and why it is indeed extremely useful as a teaching tool for argument construction.

Purpose – The intent of this paper is to provide empirical insights into the tourists’ and residents’ attitudes regarding islands tourism and its offer, using the Kvarner Bay islands (Lošinj and Rab) as a case study. Its purpose is to find out whether differences exist between tourists’ and residents’ level of satisfaction. The objective is to identify gaps between tourists’ satisfaction levels and residents’ ones, and, consequently, to identify critical element/s of the analysed destinations. Methodology – This paper uses the results of a comprehensive empirical study conducted in the spring, summer and autumn of 2011. The research was conducted using a questionnaire which was adapted to each target group: tourists and residents. Findings – Findings indicate that residents of the selected islands are more critical than tourists since they rated the tourism offer provided on their island with an overall average grade of 5.08 (Lošinj) and 4.63 (Rab), which are lower than the average rates given by tourists. The results identified those elements of the offer that could be improved in order to enhance the quality of life on islands and tourists’ overall satisfactory experience. Originality/contribution – The analysis of obtained results shows which elements of the tourism offer are considered as being the destination’s weak points by tourists and which are considered such by residents. In this sense, this study provides an important backdrop for the destination’s management; it allows a targeted dealing with their specific problems, thus increasing the level of tourists’ and residents’ satisfaction, and consequently also improving the economic effects of tourism.
