Ponte - Oct 2023 - Volume 79 - Issue 10 doi: 10.21506/j.ponte.2023.10.4 Abstract:The insufficient phosphorus in the soil plays a major role in the reduction of drybean grain quality. The study was conducted to establish the response of three drybean cultivars to varying application rates of phosphorus fertilizer and to varying environmental conditions. The experimental design involved a 5 × 3 × 3 factorial experiment fitted into a randomized complete block design (RCBD), with 4 replications. The measured parameters were ash and crude fibre content, starch and fat content. The research examined three drybean cultivars (PAN 123, PAN 148, PAN 9292) at three sites (Taung, Ventersdorp, Mafikeng) under five phosphorus fertilizer rates. Cultivar PAN 123 had significantly higher ash and crude fibre content of 0.038 and 0.84% respectively than other cultivars. Cultivar PAN 9292 had significantly higher fat content of 0.164% than other cultivars. Drybean planted at Taung had significantly higher ash, fat and protein of 0.079, 0.073 and 1.13% respectively as compared to other location. Phosphorus fertilizer rates had no significant effect on the measured drybean grain quality. This study revealed that, locations with different climatic and soil types affect the quality of drybean grains. Drybean grain quality also differs across the different cultivars.

Because of handball’s complex nature, interpreting numerical data with objective field facts requires expertise. The aim of this study is to obtain feedback by interpreting the analysis of the matches played by a team Spor Toto (ST) that finished third in the Turkish Handball Men's Super League in the 2019-2020 regular season. 14 matches played in a season, 72 parameters were reported using video analysis and notational method. In the ST and opponent team analysis, independent sample T-test was used to determine offensive efficiency. Pearson correlation analysis was applied to the relationship between analysis parameters in matches played at home and away and the Mann Whitney U-test was used for the difference between won and lost matches. As a result, it was seen that ST team committed fewer fouls than their opponents, and ST applied the offensive tactic with greater success in his own court. Parameters in favor of ST for matches won and lost; number of shots, attack efficiency, number of goals, goalkeeper saves, outside- post-block shots, fouls and turnovers. Normally these parameters are required to win a handball game.

Ponte - Nov 2023 - Volume 79 - Issue 11 doi: 10.21506/j.ponte.2023.11.2 Abstract:Abstract This article critically discusses youth representations in MJ Mngadi’s two novels, Imiyalezo (1978) and Ifa Ngukufa (2001). While the portrayal of characters in novels and short stories is the subject that is addressed by many scholars in the study of African literature (Sibiya, 2021), the depictions of youth identities remain a scantily explored phenomenon. Based on the textual method and anchored on two isiZulu phrases, ‘angiyena ugogo wakho’ [I am not your grandmother] and ‘angiyona insangu’ [I am not marijuana], and the notion of understanding the self in terms of the other or the difference (Pratt, 1985; Woodward, 1997) as a conceptual framework, this paper asserts that Mngadi depicts youth in terms of the difference. This renders the youth identities double, multiple, and contradictory simultaneously. The mentioned isiZulu phrases are explained in the introduction and juxtaposed to the notion of identity and the difference.

Ponte - Oct 2023 - Volume 79 - Issue 10 doi: 10.21506/j.ponte.2023.10.1 Abstract:The teaching and learning of Accounting in South African schools happens in English which is a second language for the majority of teachers and learners. Given that the Accounting discipline itself has its own conceptual jargon, teaching and learning in a second language is likely to present added complexity for both teachers and learners. This paper explored the teaching of Accounting threshold concepts in English Second Language (ESL) context. The study was underpinned by Shulman (1986)’s theory on teacher knowledge. In this qualitative interpretive study, semi-structured interviews, lesson observation, video recording and video stimulated recall were employed to generate data from three Accounting teachers. The research participants were purposively selected. Data was analysed using thematic analysis. This assisted researchers to make sense of data. Key findings showed that Accounting teachers predominantly used IsiZulu when teaching Accounting threshold concepts. When teachers teach, they emphasised technical recording instead of conceptual clarity. They infused codeswitching when using prior knowledge to illuminate the understanding of concepts and also infusing learners’ native language for practical application of taught concepts. The paper also provided the discussion of findings. The latter part of the paper discusses the conclusion drawn from the findings on the teaching of Accounting concepts in schools.

Ponte - Nov 2023 - Volume 79 - Issue 11 doi: 10.21506/j.ponte.2023.11.4 Abstract:Parenting practices are a known indicator of children's psychosocial adjustment; therefore, understanding factors impacting parenting practices is necessary. The primary aim of the present research is to analyze how parents’ cultural orientation, parents' socialization goals, and other sociodemographic factors like gender, education, and living location impact parenting practices. A secondary aim is to analyze gender and locality-based differences in parents' cultural orientation and socialization goals. For this purpose, parent self-reported data was collected from a sample of 400 Parents (mothers =224, 56%; fathers = 166, 41.5%) living in major cities of Pakistan using convenience sampling. Results indicated that parents' education, their cultural orientation of self-reliance and interdependence, and benevolence and prosocial socialization goals significantly predicted positive parenting practices. Parents’ education, gender, cultural orientation of family integrity, and socialization goals of relatedness, agency, and self-direction significantly predicted negative parenting practices. Mothers have similar socialization goals for their sons and daughters except for benevolence and prosocial goals, while fathers have significantly different socialization goals for sons and daughters. Parents living in rural areas have significantly higher socialization goals of all kinds and cultural orientation of separation from in-group than parents living in urban areas. The present study's findings support the importance of parents' cultural orientation, socialization goals, and parents' education in parenting practices.

MDA-MB-231 cells were obtained from the Public University Genome and Stem Cell Institute. CBD was obtained from Yozgat Bozok University Hemp Research Institute. CBD was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Cell cultures were injected with CBD concentrations of 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 µM. The toxic effect of DMSO on cells in which it was injected in pure form was found to be limited. CBD slowed down the division and proliferation by acting on MDA-MB-231 type cells. The most effective dose was determined to be 10 µM CBD concentration. As a result, CBD slowed down the cell cycle by acting on MDA-MB-231 type cells. According to this study, it can be recommended to investigate CBD concentrations between 6-24 µM in animal experiments.

Ponte - Nov 2023 - Volume 79 - Issue 11 doi: 10.21506/j.ponte.2023.11.1 Abstract:This study aimed to determine the attitudes of parent teachers working in special needs schools in public schools towards physical education and sports lessons according to various variables. Another purpose is that it is very important to determine parent teachers on whether they direct disabled students to sports. The data of the study were obtained from 697 teachers working in special needs schools in public schools. They voluntarily participated in the survey. In the study, questionnaires consisting of 2 parts were applied to parent teachers. In the first part, demographic characteristics were used, and in the second part, the "Parental Attitude Scale for Physical Education Course (PASPEC)", whose validity and reliability study was conducted by Öncü and Güven (2011), was used. The scale consists of 21 items and is of 5-point Likert type. The data obtained were recorded on the computer using the package program named SPSS 22.00. In the analysis of the data, "Mann Whitney U" and "Kruskal Wallis 1 Way ANOVA and Dunn's Nonparametric Comparison" tests were used. The reliability coefficient of the scale was found to be 0.961. In this study, it was found that there was no significant difference between the attitudes of parent teachers working in special needs schools towards physical education and sports lessons since gender did not cause any difference in their attitudes towards physical education and sports lessons (p> .05). It was concluded that the attitudes of parent teachers towards physical education and sports lesson were different in terms of their age, income status, sports status, going to watch sports competitions and watching TV programs (p<0.05). According to the results of the research, it was determined that parent teachers devoted an important time to physical education and sports activities, that physical education and sports activities would provide significant benefits in future life, and that they had a positive attitude towards physical education and sports. Since parent teachers have positive effects on physical education and sports lessons in all respects, they are effective on being healthy both mentally and physically of the disabled students in special needs schools by directing them to physical education and sports.

Ponte - Sep 2023 - Volume 79 - Issue 9 doi: 10.21506/j.ponte.2023.9.9 Abstract:The purpose of this study is to examine the levels of intolerance of uncertainty and aggression among students studying at the Faculty of Sports Sciences. The research included 300 randomly selected students who voluntarily participated from Erciyes University Faculty of Sports Sciences. The data collection tools used in the study were the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale, developed by Carleton et al. (2007) and adapted to Turkish by Sarıçam et al. (2014), the Buss Perry Aggression Scale, adapted to Turkish by Madran (2013) based on Buss and Perry's Hostility Inventory (1992), and a personal information form prepared by the researcher. The statistical analyses of the data were performed using the SPSS 20.0 software package. Personal information about the candidates, inventory total scores, and factor scores were presented in terms of frequency (f) and percentage (%). For the comparison of scores obtained from the scales, independent T-test statistics were used to examine the differences based on gender and being an active athlete. One-way analysis of variance (LSD) test statistic was used for the comparison of levels of well-being. As a result, significant differences were found in the variables of being an active athlete and the level of well-being among the students of the Faculty of Sports Sciences, while no significant difference was found in terms of gender. Additionally, when examining the correlation and regression results, a positive significant relationship was found between intolerance of uncertainty values and levels of aggression, which accounted for 17.6% of the total variance. It was concluded that intolerance of uncertainty is a value that can affect students' social lives. Uncertain situations encountered in students' social lives can increase their levels of anger, hostility, and aggression, leading to negative impacts on their experiences.
