The Relationship between Emotional Recognition and Personality Traits

This study investigated the relationship between personality traits and the ability to recognize emotions from facial expressions. A sample of undergraduate and graduate students (n = 52) were administered the 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire 5th Edition (16PF-5) (Cattell, 1993) and an abbreviated version of Ekman\u27s Pictures of Facial Affect (Ekman & Friesen, 1976). Pearson product-moment correlations revealed that the personality trait, Apprehension, was associated with the accurate recognition of most of the emotions. Further, regression analyses revealed that the recognition of fear was best predicted by the 16PF factors Dominance, Self Reliance and Apprehension. Personality differences were also identified between the various academic colleges with Engineering students scoring lowest on those traits and skills necessary for positive social interaction. Implications for counseling and recommendations for future studies are also provided

THE MEDIATING EFFECT OF NORMATIVE COMMITMENT ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INSTRUCTIONAL COACHING SKILLS AND TEAMWORK OF TEACHERS

The purpose of this study was to determine the mediating effect of normative commitment on the relationship between instructional coaching skills and teamwork of teachers. Utilizing quantitative, non-experimental design via correlational technique, data were obtained from 300 elementary public school teachers who belong to the 3 districts, Magsaysay, Bansalan and Matan-ao under the Division of Davao Del Sur in the province of Davao Del Sur. The researcher utilized a stratified random sampling technique and an online survey mode of data collection. The researcher also utilized the statistical tools mean, Pearson r and Medgraph using Sobel z-test. From the results of the study, it was found out that there is a very high level of mean scores for all variables of normative commitment, instructional coaching skills and teamwork of teachers. Also, results revealed that there are significant relationships between instructional coaching skills and teamwork, between instructional coaching skills and normative commitment and between normative commitment and teamwork of teachers. Further, it was revealed that there was a full mediation effect of normative commitment on the relationship between instructional coaching skills and the teamwork of teachers.  Article visualizations

On the local-indicability cohen–lyndon theorem

For a group H and a subset X of H, we let HX denote the set {hxh?1 | h ? H, x ? X}, and when X is a free-generating set of H, we say that the set HX is a Whitehead subset of H. For a group F and an element r of F, we say that r is Cohen–Lyndon aspherical in F if F{r} is a Whitehead subset of the subgroup of F that is generated by F{r}. In 1963, Cohen and Lyndon (D. E. Cohen and R. C. Lyndon, Free bases for normal subgroups of free groups, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 108 (1963), 526–537) independently showed that in each free group each non-trivial element is Cohen–Lyndon aspherical. Their proof used the celebrated induction method devised by Magnus in 1930 to study one-relator groups. In 1987, Edjvet and Howie (M. Edjvet and J. Howie, A Cohen–Lyndon theorem for free products of locally indicable groups, J. Pure Appl. Algebra 45 (1987), 41–44) showed that if A and B are locally indicable groups, then each cyclically reduced element of A*B that does not lie in A ? B is Cohen–Lyndon aspherical in A*B. Their proof used the original Cohen–Lyndon theorem. Using Bass–Serre theory, the original Cohen–Lyndon theorem and the Edjvet–Howie theorem, one can deduce the local-indicability Cohen–Lyndon theorem: if F is a locally indicable group and T is an F-tree with trivial edge stabilisers, then each element of F that fixes no vertex of T is Cohen–Lyndon aspherical in F. Conversely, by Bass–Serre theory, the original Cohen–Lyndon theorem and the Edjvet–Howie theorem are immediate consequences of the local-indicability Cohen–Lyndon theorem. In this paper we give a detailed review of a Bass–Serre theoretical form of Howie induction and arrange the arguments of Edjvet and Howie into a Howie-inductive proof of the local-indicability Cohen–Lyndon theorem that uses neither Magnus induction nor the original Cohen–Lyndon theorem. We conclude with a review of some standard applications of Cohen–Lyndon asphericit

Sets Represented as the Length-n Factors of a Word

In this paper we consider the following problems: how many different subsets of Sigma^n can occur as set of all length-n factors of a finite word? If a subset is representable, how long a word do we need to represent it? How many such subsets are represented by words of length t? For the first problem, we give upper and lower bounds of the form alpha^(2^n) in the binary case. For the second problem, we give a weak upper bound and some experimental data. For the third problem, we give a closed-form formula in the case where n <= t < 2n. Algorithmic variants of these problems have previously been studied under the name "shortest common superstring"

Hubungan Karakteristik Petani dan Tingkat Adopsi Teknologi pada USAhatani Bawang Merah di Desa Tonsewer, Kecamatan Tompaso

This study aims to analyze the relationship between the characteristics of farmers with the level of adoption and application of technological innovation in onion farming in Tonsewer Village, Tompaso Subdistrict, Minahasa Regency, North Sulawesi Province. This research was conducted from February to March 2017. This research used primary and secondary data. Primary data were collected by interviewing onion farmers using questionnaires. Sampling of 48 people. Analysis method using Descriptive Analysis. The study found that the technological adoption rate in Tonsewer village is very high and has adopted the technology. Factors influencing the adoption rate are land area, farming, income, formal education, non-formal education, age, and cosmopolitan level. Spearman\u27s correlation value of land area, income, formal education, non-formal education and cosmopolitan level shows the direction of positive correlation, while age shows the direction of negative correlation to the adoption rate of onion technology

THE MEDIATING EFFECT OF WORK ETHICS ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TRANSFORMATIVE LEARNING AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF TEACHERS

The purpose of this study was to determine the mediating effect of work ethics on the relationship between transformative learning and the professional development of teachers. Utilizing quantitative, non-experimental design via correlational technique, data were obtained from 300 elementary public school teachers who belong to the 3 districts, Magsaysay, Bansalan and Matanao under the Division of Davao Del Sur. The researcher utilized a stratified random sampling technique and an online survey mode of data collection. The researcher also utilized the statistical tools mean, Pearson r and Sobel Z Test. From the results of the study, it was found out that the overall mean scores of work ethics, transformative learning and professional development of teachers are very high. Also, results revealed that there are significant relationships between transformative learning and professional development, between transformative learning and work ethics and between work ethics and professional development of teachers.
