Alitalia airline: A business case of bad corporate governance
Authors: La Rocca Maurizio , Fasano Francesco , Napoli Gian Marco
Published: December 2019

Corporate governance, allocating rights and responsibilities inside the firm, provides worthwhile guidelines that lead management to valuable processes and activities, which are the core of business success for the interests of all stakeholders. This paper provides evidence of an interesting business case in which many corporate governance rules were disregarded. In Alitalia airline company, the management, ignoring corporate governance aspects, strongly disrupted economic value. The study is based on the analysis of managerial profiles of Presidents and CEOs of Alitalia, evidencing their relationship with corporate governance issues. Moreover, we deeply investigated the story of Alitalia and the governments’ political influence on the airline company. We found the absence of a proper mix of authority and responsibility, conflicts of interests and agency costs, poor monitoring activities, lack of managerial skills and scarce managerial effort, jointly with ineffective incentive mechanisms. The consequence was that past bad governance has compromised the ability of the company to create new value. We conclude that when governance principles are disregarded for a long time, even a high performing and cash-rich company can lose its competitive advantage, damaging its chances of a turnaround.
ETFS – performance, tracking errors and their determinants in Europe and the USA
Authors: Tsalikis George , Papadopoulos Simeon
Published: December 2019

Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have grown considerably since their first introduction two and a half decades ago, becoming one of the most popular passive investment vehicles among retail and professional investors. However, their tracking ability is often questioned. In this paper we estimate tracking errors from a sample of 15 American and European ETFs utilizing three different methods. We find that American ETFs seem to exhibit lower tracking errors than European ETFs in all measurements of tracking error. We also analyse and discuss the factors that influence tracking error. Fund size and expense ratios are found to be affecting the tracking ability of ETFs. The results of this study concerning the performance and tracking error determinants of ETFs are consistent with the evidence presented in the literature. To our knowledge, this is the first study to compare American and European ETFs in terms of their tracking ability and their tracking error determinants.
Metrics transformations preserving the types of one-dimensional minimal fillings
Authors: Lipatova S.Yu.
Published: December 2019

Given a class F of metric spaces and a family of transformations T of a
metric, one has to describe a family of transformations T' ? T that transfer
F into itself and preserve some types of minimal fillings. The article
considers four cases. First, when F is the class of all finite metric
spaces, T = {(M,?) ? (M, f??) | f : R>0 ? R>0}, and the elements of T'
preserve all non-degenerate types of minimal fillings of four-point metric
spaces and finite non-degenerate stars, and we prove that T' = {(M,?) ? (M,?? + a):a > ?a?}. Second, when F is the class of all finite metric
spaces, the class T consists of the maps ? ? N?, where the matrix N is the
sum of a positive diagonal matrix A and a matrix with the same rows of
non-negative elements. The elements of T' preserve all minimal fillings of
the type of non-degenerate stars. It has been proven that T0 consists of
maps ? ? N? where A is scalar. Third, when F is the class of all finite
additive metric spaces, T is the class of all linear mappings given by
matrices, and the elements of T' preserve all non-degenerate types of
minimal fillings, and we proved that for metric spaces consisting of at
least four points T' is the set of transformations given by scalar matrices.
Fourth, when F is the class of all finite ultrametric spaces, T is the class
of all linear mappings given by matrices, and we proved that for threepoint
spaces the matrices have the form A = R(B + ?E), where B is a matrix of
identical rows of positive elements, and R is a permutation of the points
(1,0,0),(0,1,0) and (0,0,1).

Surfaces with parallel normalized mean curvature vector field in Euclidean or Minkowski 4-space
Authors: Ganchev Georgi , Milousheva Velichka
Published: December 2019

We study surfaces with parallel normalized mean curvature vector field in
Euclidean or Minkowski 4-space. On any such surface we introduce special
isothermal parameters (canonical parameters) and describe these surfaces in
terms of three invariant functions. We prove that any surface with parallel
normalized mean curvature vector field parametrized by canonical parameters
is determined uniquely up to a motion in Euclidean (or Minkowski) space by
the three invariant functions satisfying a system of three partial
differential equations. We find examples of surfaces with parallel normalized
mean curvature vector field and solutions to the corresponding systems of
PDEs in Euclidean or Minkowski space in the class of the meridian surfaces.
Cosmology of non-local f(R) gravity
Authors: Dimitrijevic Ivan , Dragovich Branko , Koshelev Alexey , Rakic Zoran , Stankovic Jelena
Published: December 2019

We consider a modification of GR with a special type of a non-local f (R).
The structure of the non-local operators is motivated by the string field
theory and p-adic string theory. The spectrum is derived explicitly and the
ghost-free condition for the model is formulated. We pay special attention
to the classical stability of the de Sitter solution in our model and
formulate the conditions on the model parameters to have a stable
configuration. Relevance of unstable configurations for the description of
the de Sitter phase during inflation is specifically discussed.

Pseudosymmetry properties of generalised Wintgen ideal Legendrian submanifolds
Authors: Sebekovic Aleksandar , Petrovic-Torgasev Miroslava , Pantic Anica
Published: December 2019

For Legendrian submanifolds Mn in Sasakian space forms ?M2n+1(c), I. Mihai
obtained an inequality relating the normalised scalar curvature (intrinsic
invariant) and the squared mean curvature and the normalised scalar normal
curvature of M in the ambient space ?M (extrinsic invariants) which is
called the generalised Wintgen inequality, characterising also the
corresponding equality case. And a Legendrian submanifold Mn in Sasakian
space forms ?M2n+1(c) is said to be generalised Wintgen ideal Legendrian
submanifold of ?M2n+1(c) when it realises at everyone of its points the
equality in such inequality. Characterisations based on some basic intrinsic
symmetries involving the Riemann-Cristoffel curvature tensor, the Ricci
tensor and the Weyl conformal curvature tensor belonging to the class of
pseudosymmetries in the sense of Deszcz of such generalised Wintgen ideal
Legendrian submanifolds are given.
Symmetries in 4-dimensional manifolds
Authors: Hall Graham
Published: December 2019

In this paper some algebraic and geometrical properties of symmetries (taken
here as Lie algebras of smooth Killing vector fields) on a 4??dimensional
manifold of arbitrary signature will be described. The discussion will
include the theory of the distributions arising from such vector fields,
their resulting orbit and isotropy structure and certain stability
properties which these orbits may, or may not, possess. A link between the
isotropies and the restrictions on the fundamental tensors of Ricci and Weyl
(in terms of the subalgebras of the Lie algebras o(4), o(1,3) and o(2,2))
will be briefly discussed.
A study on killing vector fields in four-dimensional spaces
Authors: Kırık Bahar
Published: December 2019

In the present study, some properties of Killing vector fields are
investigated on 4-dimensional manifolds in case of the signature of the
metric tensor 1 is either Lorentz or positive definite or neutral. First of
all, the notation and the main object of the study are introduced on these
manifolds. Later on, some special subalgebras are examined for the members
of the Killing algebra when the Killing vector field vanishes at a point of
the manifold admitting any of these metric signatures. The constraints of
this examination to the Weyl conformal curvature tensor and the Ricci tensor
are then studied and some results are obtained. Finally, some examples
related to these results are given for all metric signatures.

INTERCULTURAL ASPECTS IN LANGUAGE EDUCATION
Authors: Rokhayati Titi
Published: December 2019

Intercultural understanding essentiallybecomes a part of  living with others in the diverse world of the twenty-first century. It assists people to become responsible local and global citizens through their education for living and working together in an interconnected world.  Language is a major component and supporter of culture as well as a primary tool for transferring message, which is inextricably bound with culture. Language is a key component of culture. It is also a primary medium for transmitting the culture itself. Without language, culture would not be possible. Students learning their native language are learning their own culture. Meanwhile, learning a second language also involves learning a second culture to varying degrees. A language is influenced and shaped by culture. It reflects culture. Cultural differences are the most serious areas causing misunderstanding, unpleasantness and even conflict in cross-cultural communication. Both foreign language learners and teachers accordingly should pay more attention to cultural communication information.

The investigation in fact aimed mainly to analyze the theory of conversational implicature proposed by austin and later on extended by grice’s principle maxim which can be universal and applied to all languages of the world, including java language art show of ketoprak entitled “joko kendil”. The study is expected to be beneficial to the world of literature. In addition, the writer hopes that the result of the study will also give additional information to the reader and contribute to the development of literary study particularly among students who are interested in the literary study. Twenty-three minutes recorded video conversation of all participants of the show data were transcribed into written form and translated into english. Needless to say, the analysis of the data has been based on both austin’s and grice’s principles of pragmatics, conversational implicature theory. Illustrative examples for flouting the four maxims of speech were introduced and analyzed pragmatically. Particularly the research was objected to find out the violation of maxims of quantity, quality, manner and relation flouted and an implicature from each generated.  From the analysis, it was found that the claim of “ketoprak” speech can be systematized and it has implicatures in one way but not in another is to some extent true. Thus, this theory can be applied to other java language idiolects.

In timed writing practice (TWP), students must write a paragraph on a sheet of paper without help in a given time limit. However, no empirical information on whether the students agree or disagree with the application of timed writing and the reasons behind their perceptions is not yet avaiable.The research subjects consist of 31 students who take writing course. The objectives are to investigate (1) the extent of the students’ acceptance and (2) the reasons behind the acceptance on the application of timed-writing practice (TWP) in writing class. A qualitative analysis is administered by identifying and classifying contents of students’ opinions and reflections expressed in the students’ responses to questionare. Twenty five students (81%) agree with the application of TW. Four students (13%) disagree and 2 students (6%) give no preference. Timed writing are perceived as (1) Encouraging Writing Activity,  (2) Improving Time Management and Control, (3) Training Thinking Skills, (4) Improving Writing Skills, (5)Training Speed Writing, (6) Improving Soft Skills, (7) Giving Challenging Activity, and (8) Improving Concentration and Accuracy.  The reasons from those who disagree are: (1) Feeling nervous and confused (2) Having insufficient preparation time, and (3) Expecting Variation of Activity. In conclusion, timed writing is mostly accepted and positively perceived by the students with very high category. Reasons from those who disagree must also be taken into consideration for future betterment. Based on the research findings, the timed writing, accordingly, can be used as a technique or a strategy to be integrated in a discourse-based writing material for students of English teacher education program.Key Words: Timed-Writing, Students’ Acceptance, Reasons

Authors: Suryani Fitri Budi , Rismiyanto Rismiyanto
Published: December 2019

Due to the global era, bachelor thesis abstracts written by non-native English speakers (Indonesians) from non-English departments in Indonesia are usually written in two languages, i.e. Indonesian and English. The English bachelor thesis abstracts are mostly the translated ones from Indonesian and do not always follow the features of abstract genre. This study aims  at examining the rhetorical moves of English bachelor thesis abstracts written by students from non-English departments. The data consisted of twenty abstracts selected randomly from hard and social science departments of Universitas Muria Kudus. The analysis employed Hyland’s five rhetorical move model. The study reveals that most English bachelor thesis abstracts did not follow the five rhetorical moves. The absence of some rhetorical moves in the English bachelor thesis abstracts may lead to the communicative purposes not achieved and thus might cause difficulty for readers to understand the study.Keywords: move, English bachelor thesis abstract, Indonesians

Sudah selayaknya kelompok disabilitas diberikan ruang kesetaraan dalam mendapatkan berbagai layanan publik secara optimal, baik kesehatan, pendidikan, dan pekerjaan. Dalam hal pendidikan khususnya, kelompok disabilitas memperoleh jenjang pendidikan pada jalur sekolah luar biasa (SLB) yang terpisah dari pendidikan formal biasa. Kondisi kelompok disabilitas seringkali dimanfaatkan oleh sebagian masyarakat untuk dieksploitasi menjadi objek kriminalisasi, seperti tindak penipuan dan tindak kekerasan seksual. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendapatkan hasil pelaksanaan komunikasi pendidikan berbasis kesehatan reproduksi bagi kelompok disabilitas (tunagrahita) dalam upaya meminimalisir tindak kekerasan seksual bagi remaja tunagrahita di Jawa Barat melalui media komunikasi komik yang dapat diterapkan secara bertahap dan berkelanjutan. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kuantitatif dan kualitatif dengan jenis studi deskriptif dan teknik pengumpulan data melalui penyebaran angket, observasi, dan studi literatur. Responden penelitian ini melibatkan tokoh pendidikan bidang disabilitas dan orang tua siswa disabilitas di wilayah Jawa Barat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan media komunikasi berupa komik yang dijadikan panduan bagi guru dan orang tua yang memiliki anak disabilitas tunagrahita dapat dipahami karena mengandung informasi mengenai langkah-langkah mengantisipasi penyalahgunaan seksual pada anak-anak disabilitas melalui isi cerita yang warna-warni dan bergambar. Media komik merupakan sarana yang cukup baik sebagai metode penyampaian pesan mengenai kesehatan reproduksi khususnya dalam dunia pendidikan insklusif. Media komunikasi selain komik yang terdapat di kalangan para orang tua dan sekolah sebaiknya perlu ditingkatkan dari sisi kualitas penyampaian informasi yang berupa media audio visual dalam bentuk film.

Hasil penelitian menunjukan ketiga variabel independen yaitu core communication skills, managerial communication skills, dan corporate communication skills secara parsial maupun simultan memengaruhi effective leadership communication, karena indikator-indikator dalam ketiga variabel independen dapat mendukung terjadinya komunikasi internal perusahaan secara efektif. Simpulannya, tanpa memenuhi indikator-indikator dalam communication skills, maka seorang pemimpin akan cenderung gagal dalam melakukan komunikasi secara internal dalam perusahaan, baik dengan jajaran direksi atau komisaris maupun para pegawai secara keseluruhan. Kesemua indikator dalam penelitian ini, setelah disesuaikan dengan visi, misi, program dan kondisi perusahaan, disarankan untuk dijadikan sebagai standar keterampilan yang harus dimiliki oleh Chairman MNC terutama di masa depan.
Los campos de investigación como objeto de indagación: reflexiones teórico-metodológicas a partir de estudio de caso
Authors: Ramos Alejandra
Published: December 2019

En este artí­culo presento reflexiones teórico-metodológicas sobre el estudio de la producción y circulación del conocimiento cientí­fico. La propuesta se desprende de una investigación de mi autorí­a en donde reconstruí­ el devenir de la Etnohistoria andina entre 1970 y 2005. Me detengo en el enfoque y los materiales de análisis empleados, indicando los principales desafí­os que se presentaron en la construcción del objeto y en el abordaje del problema de investigación. Desarrollo las estrategias implementadas y argumento que su relevancia trasciende el caso de estudio. Tras indicar los resultados obtenidos presento las lí­neas de indagación que se abren a partir del trabajo realizado.
Por una ciencia para y con los sujetos.
Authors: Morris María Belén
Published: December 2019

La metodologí­a configuracionista para la investigación social reúne una serie de contribuciones elaboradas por De la Garza en el campo de la epistemologí­a de las ciencias sociales. El texto es una tenaz defensa de la ciencia que batalla ecuánimemente contra los postulados del positivismo y la ciencia estándar (remontándose a los textos que De la Garza produjo en la década del ’80) y contra lo que el autor llama “antiepistemologí­a” (o, dicho de otra forma, el impacto que el pospositivismo y el giro lingüí­stico ha tenido sobre la comunidad cientí­fica). El autor se ocupa, en los diferentes capí­tulos, de desarmar los supuestos ontológicos y epistémico-metodológicos sobre los que se apoyan estas perspectivas para, luego, sentar las bases de una nueva ciencia social.
ON THE STUDY OF IRANIAN-RUSSIAN RELATTIONSHIP DEVELOPMENT IN THE PERSIAN LANGUAGE POLITICAL DISCOURSE
Authors: Gladkova E. L. , Melekhina N. V.
Published: December 2019

The article attempts to study the development of relations between Russia and Iran (20152019) in the Persian political discourse. The aim of the paper is to represent the main characteristics of Iranian-Russian relations based on the research of Iranian leaders’ and other officials’ speeches and statements related to cooperation and relationship between the two countries. The methodology was based on a qualitative-quantitative express content analysis of the texts extracted from media resources. To reach the above mentioned goals the study was carried out in five stages: determination of the analysis categories (measurement units “relations” / “relationship” and “cooperation”); selection of content units (articles); count of word usage according to the selected categories; systematization of subcategories i.e. qualitative characteristics of the selected categories; conclusions. The findings confirming the positive dynamics of the Iranian-Russian relations in the period of 2015-2019 may be helpful for the international relations’ experts, foreign policy officers as well as interpreters.
PHONOSTYLISTIC VARIABILITY OF COMMENTING IN A GERMAN SPORTS REPORT
Authors: Kalashnikova E. A. , Glushak V. M.
Published: December 2019

The article is devoted to the variation of pronunciation depending on the stylistic features of oral texts. Phonostylistic means act as significant indicators of variation of the pronunciation norm. One of the genres in which the dependence of the change in phonetic-prosodic means on the nature of extralinguistic parameters is clearly traced is sports commentary. The focus of the study is the degree to which articulation clarity is implemented at various stages of commenting. When conducting phonostylistic studies, it is advisable to take into consideration three degrees of articulation clarity: very high, medium-high, and reduced. At each stage of a sports competition commentators form a certain psychophysiological state that affects the clarity of articulation. The article provides an audit analysis at the segmental level, which helps to trace the completeness of the implementation of sounds and their variation in various phases of building a sports report. As a rule, in any sports report four phases can be distinguished that describe fragments that are not saturated with struggle, phases of active rivalry, victory and defeat. As indicators of the segmented level of speech we consider the implementation of a solid attack at the beginning of a word and syllable, the implementation of the longitude of a vowel in an stressed syllable, the implementation of aspiration of deaf sensory-explosive consonants “p”, “t”, “k”, the implementation of “r” in a closed syllable in a position after a short vowel, the implementation of a reduced vowel “e” in finite syllables, realization of the final consonant “t”. Phonostylistic changes are due to the psychophysiological reaction of the speaker to the actions of the athletes at the time they show strong-willed efforts to achieve victory or, conversely, when the course of the competition changes, when the favorites do not justify the hopes placed on them.
LANGUAGE CONSTITUENTS OF THE CONCEPT ‘WAY’ IN IRISH FAIRY TALES
Authors: Zaraiskiy A. A. , Morova O. L. , Polyakova V. Yu.
Published: December 2019

The aim of this article is to explore linguistic representation of the concept “way” in Irish fairy tales. Image, key lexeme, which is the core of the field, information content with its cognitive attributes and interpretation field, which is the periphery of the concept are elaborated. The results obtained show that the “way” in its direct and indirect meanings is the image and the key lexeme is “path”. It has been established that information content has seven cognitive attributes: exploration of new space, aim, distance, adventure, difficulties, destiny, and travel to afterlife world. Interpretation field includes two groups of proverbs with the first group presenting the “way” in its direct meaning and the second group comprising proverbs with the metaphorical usage of the “way”. Modelling the frame of the concept “way” allowed us to define the typical slots: subject of movement; the starting point of movement; trajectory; the environment of movement and the method of movement; locus; distance; driving power; and motivation. The concept “way” was structured using linguistic and cognitive approach, which made it possible to determine the image, information content and interpretation field. The study of the image of the concept revealed that “way” encompasses different aspects. The “way” is the basis of a person’s life. The “way” is considered not only as the road the person walks along covering big distances but as life in general that is associated with its ups and downs as well as with overcoming difficulties along the way. The idea emphasizes the importance of the “way” in people’s lives and culture, and specifically in Irish culture.
LINGUISTIC MEANS OF DISCURSIVE REPRESENTATION OF MASCULINITY AND FEMININITY
Authors: Zinovieva E. S.
Published: December 2019

This article highlights the presence of the gender component in any type of discourse and its linguistic implementation. The aim of the study is to determine the gender component in the discourse of Western and Russian gender-oriented lifestyle magazines using a comparative analysis of the used English and Russian language means of lexical-grammatical (gender-marked language units) and semantic-syntactic (assessment, modality of sentences, syntax sentences) levels. The cognitive-linguistic approach allows us to prove that in the publications in question two types of discursive representation of masculinity and femininity are used: the type of “reflection” and the type of “construction”. The presence of gender neutral or gender-marked units of language in texts is associated with the intensity of the male / female dichotomy, this ratio reflects the predominance of egalitarian or traditional gender representations in society. The authors’ choice of the lexical repertoire, the general modality of statements and the syntactic organization of sentences correspond to the discursive tasks of publications, the linguistic tools used at the cognitive level translate certain models of gender behavior into the minds of the general readers. Analysis of 4000 contexts taken by continuous sampling from popular men’s and women’s magazines in the UK, USA and Russia for the period of 2012-2017 (“GQ”, “Men’s Health” (MH), “Men’s Fitness” (MF), “Esquire”, “Tatler”, “Cosmopolitan” (Cosmo), “Glamour”, “Women’s Health” (WH), “Women’s Fitness ”(WF),“ Marie Claire ”(MC)) allows us to identify common features and peculiarities of the discursive representation of masculinity and femininity in English editions and Russian-language versions of the same name, containing both translated and original (author) articles.
SEMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN MATRIX AND INFINITIVE PROPOSITIONS (BASED ON THE MATERIAL OF THE FRENCH PRESS)
Authors: Alekseeva E. A. , Borisov O. V.
Published: December 2019

The article focuses on identifying relationships between an action expressed by the infinitive and an action expressed by the verb in a personal form representing a predicate in such sentences as Il aime raconter des histoires (He likes telling stories). The research is conducted from the perspective of the sematic-functional approach, which allows defining syntactic status and thus discovering nominative potential on the basis of the content analysis. Taking into account the notions of basic and non-basic propositions within the semantic-functional classification of the predicate, the predicate complex aime raconter is qualified as the compound predicate, which consists of the matrix (main) predicate and the second predicate referring to the same subject. In this case, the infinitive has a function of the second infinitive predicate expressing an additional predication of subordinate type in comparison with the matrix predicate. Matrix and infinitive propositions form a content block inside of which both actions have the relationships classified as the taxis ones. The realization of the taxis relationships is affected by the specific character of the infinitive, which expresses a non-localized in time action, the implementation of which is regarded as hypothetical or potentially possible. The article concludes that the above-mentioned features of the infinitive restrict the possibility of expression of the taxis character of the relationships between the matrix and the infinitive actions due to the usage of the specific lexico-semantic groups of verbs representing the matrix predicate.
