Impact of Systemic Teaching on Achievement and Literacy of Physics of the Fourth Scientific Grade Students

The research aimed to verify the impact of systemic model on achievement of physics and physical literacy of the fourth scientific grade students, the researcher used the experimental design of the two equivalent groups, the research community was the fourth scientific students in the public day schools in the General Directorate of Diwaniyah Education for the academic year (2017 - 2018). The researcher is randomly, including Division B to represent the experimental group consisting of (30) students and Division C represents the control group made up of (29) students, the two groups were equal in variables: time age, intelligence, grades of the first course test, and the measure of physical literacy, the researcher prepared two tools, namely the achievement test (40 items) and the physical literacy test (30 items), and their validity and reliability were confirmed. The results showed the superiority of the students of the experimental group that studied the systemic model over the students of the control group that studied the traditional method in both the achievement test and the physical literacy, and in light of this the researcher recommended the use of the systemic teaching and suggested conducting other studies of stages and subjects.

Proposal of a Model from the Perspective of Parsons Functional-Structural Theory

Taking into consideration the use of the systemic models in interdisciplinary research and education, we analyze the perception of the musical act developed by Talcott Parsons in 1959, based on his Structural-Functional Theory for the social analysis of 1951. In this article, the creative act of the develops considering the demands of his role as a composer and performer, and the conditions the society at large imposed. This relationship also involves the interpretation of the inherited musical culture and is related to the composing skills of the author, the instrumental technique of the performer, and musical intelligence. As a case study, we take the emergence of the Mexican bolero to illustrate it. From this sociological approach, we can understand the identity of the Mexican bolero as a product of an era, in which both the composition and the musical performance are adapted to their cultural environment and are part of the society and its structure. Based on Parsons' proposal, we created a conceptual systemic model through four modules: Personal, Behavioral, Social, and Cultural. This model also represents the internalization, learning and socializations processes, which were the interrelationships between the systems for Parsons. Later we began to develop it in a computational systemic model, in which it is intended to measure the different variables of the musical act system, considering different contexts and temporal spaces.

Development Against Poverty: A Systemic Model Design Based on Empirical Evidence

The world’s poor numbered almost 2.8 billion in 2001, and 2.5 billion in 2005. During a decade of participatory research in a village in Yucatan, Mexico, we built a systemic model of transition from poverty to wellbeing. Households are the basic units because they are the source of human biological and cultural reproduction. Poverty is characterized by low levels of basic needs (i.e. education, health, income and capital). We applied a strategy of innovation and multiple goals, and exploited interaction between variables, in successive approaches within time cycles. Model application improved child nutrition, investment and savings, and credits levels

Recognition of Psychological Characteristics of Students’ Behavior Based on Improved Machine Learning

Contemporary classroom teaching requires the combination of students’ classroom behavior and their psychological activities and appropriately changes the teaching mode according to students’ psychological characteristics. This paper analyzes the traditional characteristic recognition algorithm, and after improving its deficiencies, an improved characteristic extraction algorithm is proposed, based on the actual situation of classroom learning. This new algorithm can effectively improve the students’ psychological feature prediction; with the support of this algorithm, a comprehensive analysis model with classroom behavior recognition and psychological feature recognition is constructed; also, the functional structure of the system is built up. Through experimental research, the model proposed in this paper is analyzed, and the experimental data has approved that the systemic model could play an important role in classroom teaching.

Circles of analysis: a systemic model of child criminal exploitation

Purpose Child criminal exploitation (CCE) emerges from the complex interplay between potential targets, motivated perpetrators and conducive environments. Drawing on contextual safeguarding and rational choice theory. The purpose of this paper is to explain the relational dynamics that lead to CCE in terms of complex systems. Design/methodology/approach This paper reviews the existing criminological and public health perspectives on CCE and compare against current assessment protocols used to identify child victims of exploitation. Findings Findings demonstrate a conceptual and empirical flaw in existing practice. This flaw can be understood in terms of a failure to include both environmental conditions and the perpetrator’s motivation when trying to prevent CCE. Research limitations/implications To correct this, this paper develops an original systemic model called circles of analysis. This model builds on contextual safeguarding to overcome this identified flaw by also including perpetrator motivation to develop a Systemic Investigation, Protection and Prosecution Strategy. Practical implications It is worth considering as to whether our model can be scaled up to look at trafficking of children and adults for modern slavery, servitude, forced and compulsory labour in different contexts and jurisdictions. Alongside this, is there capacity to build perpetrator behaviours into the contextual safeguarding model? Social implications The potential for further development and alignment with the principles of contextual safeguarding is tantalising, and it is hoped that the contribution to this important special edition will open up new avenues for collaboration with both academics and practitioners who are concerned with protecting children and combatting CCE. Originality/value This strategy is uniquely designed to improve how police and social workers identify and investigate CCE and safeguard potential victims and survivors.

How the means of electing the President of Poland acts to distort roles within the country’s political system

This article is concerned with the relationship between more than 30 years of universal direct election to the post of President of the Republic of Poland and the essence of the roles associated with that position. The hypothesis put forward for testing has been that elections of the above kind give rise to distortions in the systemic model associated with the Polish Presidency. The legitimisation of the President at the ballot box reinforces the efforts of many holders of the office to introduce ruling-related elements of the Presidency in practice, in the context of the political system. Elections also strengthen relations between the President and his political camp, in this way undermining the presidential arbitration function. In essence, an election campaign is subject to mechanisms of “Prime Minister-isation”, whereby a candidate for President usually presents (feels obliged to present) a programme appropriate for an organ truly engaged in the pursuit of state policy.

Freedom to Define Membership in a Mutual Insurance Company

A mutual insurance society is one of the basic forms of conducting insurance activity. It is characterized by a very wide range of options which its founders and subsequently entitled members have in order to choose the organizational and systemic model of operation, to change it in the course of business, to define the concept of membership, to create various categories of members and provide them with different rights and duties, to determine the powers of statutory bodies, and, above all, to apply the method of mutuality. The Insurance and Reinsurance Activity Act regulates the basic legal framework of mutual companies, while referring quite a number of issues to the Polish Commercial Partnerships and Companies Code. This does not alter the fundamental principle on which the company's activity is based, namely that its articles of association play an extremely important role, which is much greater than in the case of public limited liability companies, and that members of a mutual insurance society enjoy considerable freedom to conduct business and categorize its members, which is unparalleled for other legal forms of business activity.
