Estonian English language teachers' attitudes towards the use of information and communication technology in secondary school

Information and communication technology (ICT) is being actively incorporated into education both in Estonia and abroad. It brings about rapid changes that affect both pupils and school staff, as they need to adapt to the new environment. Often teachers’ opinions in the matter are left aside in favor of keeping up with the regulations in the national curriculum. This study focuses on the attitudes and experiences of language teachers of Estonian secondary schools to highlight the strengths and shortcomings of the current system.http://www.ester.ee/record=b4678029*es

Rahvusi ja rassi kujutavate reklaamide vastuvõtt Eestis

This research focuses on the advertisements with ethnical and racial references and the reception of such advertisements. It is important to study advertising in today's integrating society because it is one of the most important mediums that has the power to change and shape people's opinions and identity in modern consumer society. To have a deeper understanding about the associations that the interviewees had with different elements of the advertisements, I conducted content analysis on the selected advertisements. Regardless to that, I still could not predict all the possible interpretations and as I used in-depth interview as a second method, I obtained some new and interesting interpretations of the advertisement texts. The research-questions were: What kind of signs were used to represent different nationalities in advertisements? What were the co-meanings of the texts and signs used in advertisements? How do different target groups interpret the advertisements? The research shows that the interviewees think that there are seldom advertisements with references to other nationalities in Estonian media and that such advertisements where are negative portrays of other nationalities, are mostly deprecated. Although we do not have many people of other races living in Estonia, the danger of racism is sensed and advertisements with black people in them are regarded with great caution. The study also showed that most references to other races or nationalities in Estonian advertisements are indirect. The co-meanings of signs and texts used in advertisements derive mostly from stereotypes spread in Estonian society. It emerged from the interviews that Estonians and Russians are different when it concerns the reception of advertisements – when Estonians did not deplore the use of ethnic or racial stereotypes in advertisements, Russian interviewees deplored all signs of negative attitude towards other nationalities and races, and they also had much higher expectations and were more conservative towards advertising

Pergantian rezim seolah tidak pernah menjadi tonggak awal untuk penghapusan kekerasan terhadap perempuan di Iran. Gagasan untuk membentuk Defend of Human Right Center menjadi sebuah hal yang sangat penting bagi Shirin sebagai wadah untuk para perempuan ataupun anak-anak yang menjadi korban ketidakadilan HAM di Iran. Abstract : This study aimed entitled "The Role of Shirin Ebadi in the Issue of Women's Rights in Iran (Review of Social Aspects of 1990-2003)".

The effect of entomopathogenic insecticide on honey bees Apis mellifera L.

Bakalaureusetöö Põllumajandussaaduste tootmise ja turustamise õppekavalMeemesilased mängivad maailma ökosüsteemis üsnagi olulist rolli. Nõudlus meemesilaste pakutava tolmeldamise järgi on Euroopas 2005-2010 aastatel kasvanud 4,9 korda kiiremini kui meemesilaste arvukus ise. Sünteetilistele insektitsiididele alternatiivseks ja keskkonda vähem mõjutavaks vahendiks on bioinsektitsiidid. Töö eesmärgiks on uurida kas entomopatogeenset seent Beauveria bassiana sisaldav preparaat BotaniGard 22 WP mõjutab meemesilasi, kui need puutuvad kokku töödeldud pinnaga laboris või pritsitud õitega põllul. Katses kasutati vees lahustuvat mükoinsektitsiidi BotaniGard 22. Kulunormiga 5 g 10 l–1 vee kohta. Segu pritsiti põllule arvestusega 200 l ha-l. Mõlema katse tulemusel meemesilaste suremusel statistiliselt olulist erinevust ei olnud ning töötluse mõju ühelgi päeval ei ilmnenud. Sarnaste katsete tulemused on olnud väga erinevad. Mõned katsed on näidanud meemesilaste suurt suremust, mis võib olla tingitud kõrgemast doosist. Kuid on ka tulemused, mis näitavad et entomopatogeensed preparaadid ei mõjuta meemesilaste suremust. Kuna erinevad uurimistööd on andnud vastukäivaid tulemusi, siis tuleks iga uue pestitsiidi kasutusele võtmisel kindlasti läbi viia ka testid kontrollimaks nende mõju kasulikele putukatele.Honey bees play a very important role in ecosystems. The demand for pollination provided by honey bees has increased 4,9 times faster than the numbers of honey bees themselves in Europe in 2005-2010. Bioinsecticides are an alternative and more environmentally friendly tool instead of synthetic insecticides. The aim of the thesis is to investigate whether BotaniGard 22 WP, which contains the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana, affects honey bees when they come into contact with a treated surface in laboratory or sprayed flowers of oilseed rape in the field. Water-soluble mycoinsecticide BotaniGard 22 WP was used in the experiment with a spraying rate of 5g per 10 l–1 water. The mixture was sprayed onto the field at a rate of 200 litres per hectare. As a result of both experiments, there was no statistically significant difference in the mortality rate of honey bees and the effect of the treatment did not appear in none of observation days. The results of other similar experiments have been very different. Some tests have shown a high mortality rate among honey bees, which may be due to higher doses. But there are also results that indicate that entomopathogenic preparations do not affect honey bee mortality. Since various researches have given contradictory results, it should be ensured that every new pesticide formulation is used to test their effects on beneficial insects

“Scelte per il futuro” terzo incontro mondiale sui paesaggi terrazzati: Italia, 6-15 ottobre 2016

Il Terzo Incontro Mondiale è stato preparato per diversi anni dalla Sezione italiana dell’ITLA con il supporto del Comitato internazionale. Sono stati selezionati e visitati i luoghi che avrebbero ospitato i diversi incontri tematiche, individuate le persone e le organizzazioni di riferimento locale che in seguito sarebbero state documentate in brevi videoclip. I protagonisti locali (amministrazioni locali, associazioni culturali, sezioni del Club Alpino Italiano, presidi Slowfood, produttori di vino e cooperative …) hanno preparato con grande impegno le loro visite sul luogo organizzate per presentare al meglio sia la situazione attuale che i loro progetti di futuro. Il comitato organizzativo ha dato a ciascun sito uno tema specifico che sarebbe stato sviluppato durante il viaggio di studio. In ogni sito i partecipanti hanno presentato la loro esperienza sull’argomento specifico condividendola con gli attori locali. Questa tipologia organizzativa ha permesso il coinvolgimento attivo dei partecipanti e ha favorito la preparazione di un contributo concreto al dialogo e alla ricerca di opzioni future per i paesaggi terrazzati
