Three Levels of Push-Pull Dynamics Among Chinese International Students’ Decision to Study Abroad in the Canadian Context
Authors: Chen Jun Mian
Published: March 2019

The extant literature on student migration flows generally focus on the traditional push-pull factors of migration at the individual level. Such a tendency excludes the broader levels affecting international student mobility. This paper proposes a hybrid of three levels of push-pull dynamics (micro−individual decision-making, meso−academic marketing, and macro−national marketing) to paint a more accurate picture of student migration flows. A case study of 15 semi-structured interviews with Chinese international students at a Canadian university was conducted to illuminate the underresearched reality that universities and Canada as a nation offer additional incentives, in conjunction with individual/familial reasons, for study abroad. The paper concludes with recommendations for new research directions arising from the present study.
Resilience for a World in Flux
Authors: Glass Chris R.
Published: March 2019

The rise of nationalism worldwide has led many international researchers to reflect on their role as educators and leaders. Resilience is vital during such tumultuous times. The popular definition of resilience is the capacity to quickly recover from difficulties and setbacks. The term is often misunderstood for a type of sturdy individualism that some people possess more than others or the immunity from stress and negative emotions. There is another, more empirically-based, understanding of resilience. Diane Coutu (2002) outlines three dimensions of resilience: (a) a staunch acceptance of reality; (b) deep belief buttressed by strongly held values; and (c) an uncanny ability to improvise. I believe, as international researchers and educators, we must be resilient in a world where the policies and politics around international students are increasingly in flux.
Vietnamese Graduate International Student Repatriates: Reverse Adjustment
Authors: Le Anh T. , LaCost Barbara Y.
Published: March 2019

The purpose of this study is to explore the experiences of Vietnamese international students who have returned to Vietnam after graduation from a U.S. higher education institution. The findings suggest that participants found it harder to readjust to Vietnam than to adjust to the U.S. even though they had lived most of their lives in Vietnam. Time in the U.S. had changed them considerably, making it difficult for them to fit back into their old lives in Vietnam. Most of them did not expect to experience reserve culture shock, and most had made real efforts to fit back into the Vietnamese environment and culture.
Technologies and Second Language: Nigerian Students’ Adaptive Strategies to Cope With Language Barrier in Northern Cyprus
Authors: Elega Adeola Abdulateef , Özad Bahire Efe
Published: March 2019

This study sought to investigate how Nigerian students in Northern Cyprus cope with language barrier and increase interactions with people of the host community beyond the classroom via utilizing technological adaptive strategies. In order to complete this study, a descriptive design based on a survey conducted among 238 Nigerian students studying in a North Cyprus university was used. Result shows that mobile translation apps such as Google Translate, iVoice translator pro and iTranslate voice mobile were frequently used by Nigerian students more than other technological adaptive strategies. We also found that male students use ICT to cope with language barrier more than the females, and that social media was widely used, second to the translation assistant apps.
Role of Student Affairs in International Student Transition and Success
Authors: Yao Christina W , George Mwangi Chrystal A.
Published: March 2019

International student mobility has grown significantly in recent years, with over 4.1 million students in 2013 who studied abroad around the world (Institute of International Education [IIE], 2016). With the changes in student demographics and increased mobility, student affairs professionals are in a unique role to support international student transition and success. Unfortunately, current research and practice in higher education tends to place

a high level of responsibility on the international student to successfully transition to a new campus environment

or places the responsibility on the international student affairs/student services office to solely work with these students. Given the multi-faceted needs of international students, we argue that it is critical for student affairs

professionals across functional areas to be prepared to support this diverse population.
Exposed Challenges, Emerging Opportunities
Authors: Bista Krishna
Published: March 2019

“This is a critical time for scholars who study international students to reassess our research agenda for the field,” remarked Rose-Redwood and Rose-Redwood (2017) in their guest editorial here two issues ago, “because we simply cannot proceed as if it were business as usual within the current political context” (p. ii). Addressing the rise of anti-immigrant environment in the country more generally, Glass (2017) wrote in the preceding editorial that “[a] staunch acceptance of reality must be buttressed by strongly held values,” enumerating values such as “promoting global engagement and understanding, engaging in civic responsibility beyond local contexts, fostering the appreciation for languages and cultures, and strengthening foreign relations and peacebuilding among nations” (p. ii).
Understanding East Asian Graduate Students’ Socio-cultural and Psychological Adjustment in a U.S. Midwestern University
Authors: Xiong Yiying , Zhou Yuchun
Published: March 2019

In this study, we explore East Asian graduate students’ socio-cultural and psychological adjustment in a U.S. Midwestern University. Eight participants were interviewed about their acculturation challenges as well as their effective coping strategies. Data were analyzed using open-coding techniques and five themes emerged: three themes summarized the challenges, including challenges due to cultural differences, lack of support in a foreign environment, and financial stress; and the other two themes that described the coping strategies were utilizing external resources and developing self-adjustment strategies.
Early Career Outcomes of International Bachelor’s Degree Recipients from U.S. Institutions: The Role of International Status and Region of Origin
Authors: Jiang Xiushan
Published: March 2019

Based on neo-racism theory and human capital theory, this study examined whether international bachelor’s degree recipients who graduated from U.S. institutions have significant early career outcome differences compared to domestic bachelor’s degree recipients in terms of major-job match, annual earnings, and job satisfaction. Recognizing the significant differences in language, culture, and socio-economic conditions among immigrants from different countries of origin, this study further explored possible differences in career outcomes of international bachelor’s degree recipients by regions of origin. The findings of this study suggest that international degree recipients have gained labor market parity in majorjob match as well as salary and job satisfaction with their domestic counterparts, all things being equal. Further, this study found evidence that region of origin plays an important role in shaping international bachelor’s degree recipients’ major-job match and annual earnings. The policy implications for postsecondary institutions and the U.S. as a society are discussed.
A Case Study Exploring International Student Engagement at Three Small, Private Colleges
Authors: Sullivan, Jr. William Danny
Published: March 2019

Higher education institutions continue to face increased scrutiny to better monitor student persistence rates and develop better strategies to retain more students through the attainment of a degree. Retention studies on international students are limited and often focused on large public universities. The researcher interviewed students and the international student officers at three small, private four-year colleges in the Southeast United States. The international students were found to be formally and informally engaged in academic and social activities on campus, and engagement was promoted by formal campus sponsored activities, international staff members’ personal involvement, and through faculty and staff interaction. The students became aware of campus resources through college programming, faculty and staff interaction, and peer interaction with other students.
Work-Family Balance and Psychosocial Adjustment of Married International Students
Authors: Bulgan Gökçe , Çiftçi Ayşe
Published: March 2019

The authors investigated how work-family balance mediated the relationship between personality traits, gender roles, social support, and psychosocial adjustment. Data were collected from 243 married international graduate students (MIGSs) studying in the United States. Results of structural equation modeling indicated that personality traits influence the psychosocial adjustment process. In addition, being extraverted, agreeable, and conscientious contributed to balancing academic and family life, whereas having neurotic tendencies such as experiencing depression and anxiety diminished work-family balance. Work-family balance did not mediate the relationship between personality traits, gender roles, social support, and psychosocial adjustment. The authors discussed the findings by considering clinical implications and making suggestions for future research.
Building Bridges Across the International Divide: Fostering Meaningful Cross-Cultural Interactions Between Domestic and International Students
Authors: Rose-Redwood CindyAnn , Rose-Redwood Reuben
Published: March 2019

In this article, we consider the ways in which both formal and informal social practices at colleges and universities can lead domestic and international students to engage in meaningful cross-cultural interactions. Employing a narrative-based approach, we reflect upon our own personal experiences as domestic students who developed close friendships with international students at two higher education institutions in the United States at the turn of the twenty-first century. In one case, an internationalfriendship  grew from a formal, university-sponsored conversation partner program organized by the university’s international office, and, in the other case, a close friendship with an international student emerged through informal social interactions on a college campus. Taken together, these cases suggest that higher education settings have the potential to be spaces of meaningful cross-cultural interaction. However, this requires an active commitment on the part of both domestic and international students to engage in social interactions across the international divide.
Work a Way Out: Breaking Monoethnic Isolation through On-Campus Employment
Authors: Su Mengwei
Published: March 2019

Since the global economic recession in 2008, Chinese undergraduate students have quickly risen to be the largest international student population in American colleges and universities, forming a monoethnic group that often isolates itself from domestic students on campuses. This study explores how twelve Chinese undergraduate students utilized on-campus employment as a means of engaging host nationals to improve language skills and engage in cross-cultural interactions. Thematic analysis affirms the efficacy of the university workplace as an educational space outside of the classroom. Based on these findings, various policy recommendations are proposed to improve the management of international student employees.
Leveraging Common Ground: Improving International and Domestic Students’ Interaction Through Mutual Engagement
Authors: Thomas Victor , Ssendikaddiwa Joseph M , Mroz Martin , Lockyer Karen , Kosarzova Karin , Hanna Carolyn
Published: March 2019

Leading institutional pedagogies and practices tend to approach increasing international student populations from a deficit-based model, which focuses on the adaptation, acculturation, and assimilation of international students to the dominant host culture. We believe a better approach to improve international and domestic students’ interaction is to move to models of mutual engagement. In this article, as practitioners, we explore four common grounds that seem to be producing positive engagements: common experience, cultural celebrations, faith, and common challenges, in which students are encouraged to meaningfully engage with each other as equals in a spirit of mutuality. The resulting discussion explores how each contributes to a culture of collaboration within institutional departments while improving and enriching the interactions between all students.
Creating Peace Across Borders: The East-West Path to Unity
Authors: Mitrayani Dian , Peel R. Don
Published: March 2019

This article is based upon autobiographical narratives of two students exploring their experiences in finding commonality through an institutionalized domestic and international student community. Both students’ paths intersected at the East-West Center (EWC), an independent, public, nonprofit organization formed by the US Congress in 1960 with the goal of bringing people together through cooperative study, research, and dialogue. The co-authors describe various factors that facilitated cultivating inner peace and minimize imposed oppressive tendencies. In particular, they analyze the importance of a learning environment that motivates each student to deeply reexamine their relationship to cultural and disciplinary boundaries, through exposing them to multifaceted perspectives. Their conclusions highlight the importance of EWC as a place where bothdomestic and international students can build dialogue, debate, and learn from each other, across disciplinary sectors in a relaxed setting. EWC, with its unique diplomatic-building environment, is a learning prototype that has the potential to unify global diversity through developing unique partnerships of empowerment.
International Graduate Student Labor as Mergers and Acquisitions
Authors: Cantwell Brendan , Lee Jenny J. , Mlambo Yeukai A.
Published: March 2019

This study critically examines the self-reported experiences of international graduate students using a framework understanding internationalization as acquisitions and mergers. Students reported positive experiences with their advisors. However, students’ accounts of laboratories and other research settings were diverse, ranging from co-contributors to knowledge and respected collaborators to employed cheap labor that their advisors depended upon for their own gains. In some cases, these students feared that their funding would be cut off or dismissed from the program (and consequently deported from the US) if they challenged their advisors. Whether such apprehensions were valid is unknown as this study focused on perceptions of the students only. The findings do lead to important future directions for research and practice.
Multilingual and Multimodal Repertoires as part of Identity Management on Facebook: A Case of International Students
Authors: Solmaz Osman
Published: March 2019

The present study examines the multilingual and multimodal repertoires of international graduate students on Facebook, displaying how semiotic and linguistic resources are employed to index multiple aspects of their identity in social media. Drawing on data from semistructured interviews and social media data of participants, this paper reveals that multilingual students frequently engage in linguistic and multimodal practices by mobilizing a great diversity of semiotic resources in their networks. The findings highlight that international students effectively use their repertoires to deal with a multitude of audiences and build identification performances signaling local and global affiliations. In this respect, the study contributes to the current thinking and investigation of identity management in social media through a mixed-methods approach including social network analysis.
Influential Factors in the College Decision-Making Process for Chinese Students Studying in the U.S.
Authors: Rafi Madeline A.
Published: March 2019

For more than 1,043,839 international students, the United States is the destination of choice to pursue higher education. Although Chinese students account for almost one in three international students in the U.S., there are many unknowns about the influential factors behind their college decision. This qualitative study explores the self-described most important factors for Chinese students’ decision to attend college in the U.S. and the sources they seek to make their decision. This study found (1) parents are the most influential factor in the decision to attend college in the U.S., (2) students place great importance on rankings, and (3) in hindsight, students wish they focused less on rankings and did not need help from agencies when applying to colleges.

Authors: KAYAHAN Cantürk , SARIKALE Hakan
Published: March 2019

Bu çalışmada; Türkiye’de faaliyet gösteren mevduat, kalkınma ve yatırım bankası bilançolarının aktifinde yer alan varlıkların, 2002-2016 yılları arasında bilanço içerisindeki yüzdesel değişimi ve bu değişimin nedenlerinin incelenmesi hedeflenmiştir. İlgili dönemi kapsayan inceleme sonucunda Türk Bankacılık sektörünün menkul kıymet ağırlıklı banka bilançolarından, kredi ağırlıklı bilançolara geçiş sağladığı görülmüştür. Banka bilançolarının aktifinde yer alan "likit aktif, finansal varlık, kredi, duran aktif ve diğer aktif" hesap gruplarının toplam aktif içerisindeki paylarında meydana gelen değişimler yüzde analizi yöntemiyle incelenmiştir. Değişimin nedenleri araştırıldıktan sonra, devlet borçlanması ile reel sektör ve banka bilanço yapısı arasında nasıl bir etkileşim olduğunu anlayabilmek amacıyla korelasyon analizi yapılmıştır. 2002-2016 yılları arasında; "Kamu Net Borç Stoku/GSYH" oranının değişimi, özel sektör bilançolarındaki "banka kredileri/yabancı kaynak" oranının değişimi ile banka bilançolarındaki "Kredi/Aktif" ve "Finansal Varlık/Aktif" oranlarının değişimi arasındaki ilişki incelenmiş ve aralarında çok güçlü bir korelasyon olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Dolayısıyla bankaların risksiz kamu kağıtlarını alıp satmak yerine, gerçek işlevleri olan reel sektörün finansman ihtiyacını karşılar duruma geldikleri belirtilebilir.

Published: March 2019

Este artigo reúne um conjunto de dados de pesquisa, em andamento, sobre o PNCF no Brasil, com um recorte específico: o estado do Rio Grande do Norte. A pesquisa aporta ao debate das ruralidades, no Brasil, e as novas configurações campo-cidade, no debate regional. Para sistematização desta comunicação científica, recorre-se a uma base de dados secundários, oriundos da Subsecretaria Nacional de Reordenamento Agrário e Secretaria de Estado de Assuntos Fundiários e Apoio à Reforma Agrária/ RN e, também, aos dados primários, reunidos através de uma entrevista realizada com o representante da Unidade Técnica Estadual/RN. Com isso, pôde-se construir um mapeamento provisório e apresentar os resultados que seguem: o programa atua em 21 unidades federativas, financiando 44.629 áreas, com 99.107 famílias atendidas nas linhas de financiamento Combate à Pobreza Rural, Consolidação da Agricultura Familiar e Nossa Primeira Terra. Os investimentos somam um montante de R$ 2.318.746.172,00 em Subprojetos de Aquisição da Terra e Subprojetos de Investimentos Comunitários e Básicos. No Rio Grande do Norte, o PNCF está presente em 77% dos municípios potiguares, financiando 846 áreas através das linhas de crédito CPR e CAF, das quais 484 pela linha CPR e 362 pela modalidade CAF, atendendo a 5.833 famílias. 97,8% destes assentamentos estão inseridos na região semiárida potiguar, que abrange 88% do seu território. O debate técnico, acadêmico e político sobre a “questão agrária”, no Brasil, continua desafiando de forma decisiva o debate contemporâneo do desenvolvimento regional.

Comunicação Midiática, Ensino de Ciências e Sustentabilidade
Authors: De Sousa Cidoval Morais
Published: March 2019

O propósito do presente texto é discutir, de um lado, aspectos que tensionam a relação Jornalismo Científico (JC) e Ensino de Ciências (EC) e, de outro, evidenciar questões que os aproximam, particularmente diante de uma causa comum glocal: um mundo em se combine eficiência econômica com justiça social e prudência ecológica, como premissas da construção de uma sociedade solidária e justa. A superficialidade dos conteúdos noticiosos, massificação deuma compreensão enviesada de sustentabilidade, ausência de contexto, ênfase nos resultados são apontados, aqui, como fatores de tensão; a atualização, mobilização, sensibilização e agendamento são aspectos da cultura midiáticaque, em nosso ver, favorecem a construção de parcerias. Adota-se, como suporte teórico, os enfoques CTS, que entendem a ciência como uma construção social, a comunicação pública da ciência como intrínseca ao fazer científico, o ensino de ciências como possibilidade de transformação social, e a sustentabilidade como ideal a ser perseguido pela tecnociência, agora comprometida com um mundo diferente, mas não desigual.

O Brasil, atualmente, está em processo de envelhecimento populacional, Foz do Iguaçu – PR segue a mesma tendência. Essa transição demográfica influencia diretamente o mercado de trabalho, pois com maior perspectiva de vida, muitos idosos continuarão a trabalhar. Com o objetivo de analisar a inserção dos idosos que atuam no mercado de trabalho da cidade de Foz do Iguaçu, esta pesquisa, através de entrevistas semiestruturadas, buscou conhecer a perspectiva das empresas e dos colaboradores idosos a respeito do trabalho na terceira idade. Tanto para os colaboradores com 60 anos de idade ou mais, quanto para os gestores, os funcionários da terceira idade estão suprindo as necessidades laborais e, em vários casos, superam em qualidade e responsabilidade o trabalho dos mais jovens. Os indivíduos idosos que se mantêm trabalhando o fazem, principalmente, por necessidade de complemento de renda e para manter-se ativo e em sociedade. Demonstram suas experiências acumuladas em um trabalho visto como exemplar pelos gestores. Ser idoso não é sinônimo de incapacidade. Envelhecer é algo natural e inserir ou manter idosos no ambiente de trabalho também passou a ser.

A EDUCAÇÃO EM CIÊNCIAS: o caso da formação escolar em engenharia
Authors: Rodrigues Rogério
Published: March 2019

Este estudo sobre a educação em ciências na formação profissional busca compreender o paradoxo do engenheiro sem engenhosidade. O objetivo da pesquisa é analisar as possíveis contribuições da psicanálise no campo educacional, no sentido de entender as relações entre a educação em ciências e a formação do profissional em engenharia. O método utilizado tem como proposição investigativa o campo da teoria crítica para analisar e interpretar a área temática da educação em ciências. Os primeiros resultados deste estudo indicam que a formação profissional deveria ser interpretada para além do senso comum, não como algo corriqueiro, mas sim como uma formação substitutiva de que não se deseja saber sobre o próprio desejo e atuam numa posição de pseudoneutralidade perante o saber científico.
REPRESENTAÇÕES SOCIAIS DE IDOSOS E CONDIÇÕES DE VIDA NO MEIO RURAL
Authors: Coutinho Areosa Silvia , Redin Freitas Cristiane
Published: March 2019

Este artigo buscou investigar através de entrevistas com idosos entre 60 e 92 anos, de ambos sexos, suas representações sociais sobre a velhice e os modos de vida que marcam suas trajetórias no meio rural. O estudo qualitativo foi realizado em sete distritos rurais no interior do Rio Grande do Sul teve a Teoria da Representações Sociais como arcabouço teórico para compreensão da temática. Os resultados demonstraram que o contexto onde vivem os idosos interfere significativamente na forma como estes elaboram suas representações sociais e nos significados que compartilham entre si. A compreensão dos significados das representações sociais pode auxiliar na construção de ações, programas e políticas voltadas para o idoso no meio rural, tendo em vista que as ações que hoje são desenvolvidas têm como base as pesquisas com pessoas de mais idade que residem em centros urbanos.

Published: March 2019

Con el objetivo de explorar la relación entre la diseminación de artículos a través de canales sociales y las métricas de impacto académico, se usaron métodos digitales para analizar una muestra de 29 808 artículos de PLOS One y 10 718 de Scientific Reports. La investigación, de naturaleza cuantitativa, encontró que hay una correlación muy débil entre el impacto de un artículo en los canales sociales digitales y el número de citas, y que los indicadores de impacto social predicen mejor la cantidad de veces que el artículo es consumido, que el volumen de citación.
Entre la psicología criminal, la psicología forense y la psicología penitenciaria.
Authors: Arcia Milano Wily Enrique
Published: March 2019

La Psicología Jurídica, como apoyo a las Ciencias Jurídicas, en su rama del Derecho Procesal Penal, es el área de estudio que comprende este trabajo. Su intervención en los procesos penales resulta indispensable en la atención y el tratamiento de la delincuencia. Está práctica dio paso al surgimiento de tres sub disciplinas como lo son: la Psicología Criminal, la Psicología Forense y la Psicología Penitenciaria. La relación entre ellas representa una confusión a intentar clarificar el alcance de su campo de estudio.

Hoy día, la maldad es más cotidiana y real, pues es una construcción humana; se habla de personas malvadas y de actos malvados. Hasta cuándo se puede ser malo?. y ¿se puede medir la maldad?.  Stone (2001) diseña una escala que permite adentrarse profundamente en la mente del malvado, examinando cómo funciona su cerebro, sus sentimientos hacia la víctima en función del grado de maldad para clasificarlos en la escala de maldad. Se planteó como objetivo analizar esta escala, apoyándose en autores expertos como Stone (2009), Velasco (2018) y Guerri (2018). La metodología fue tipo documental, diseño bibliográfico y nivel de estudio descriptivo. Se concluye que la escala permite comprender más la mente criminal como herramienta para reconocerla. Se recomienda dotar de mecanismos a la sociedad para evitar actos criminales, que pueden nacer de la desigualdad, carencia o el desarraigo. No todo psicópata es criminal ni todo criminal es psicópata.

Dentro de un proceso investigativo en el caso de muertes violentas, existen múltiples técnicas de investigación pericial que tratan de explicar su causa. En el ámbito de la psicología forense, existe una técnica pericial llamada Autopsia Psicológica, la misma que consiste en realizar una evaluación de tipo retrospectivo acerca de la biografía de una persona cuya muerte no se encuentra esclarecida. El propósito de esta investigación es determinar la prevalencia de la aplicación de la autopsia psicológica en la investigación de muertes dudosas en el cantón Azogues. Para ello se realizó la revisión bibliográfica, se elaboraron, validaron y aplicaron 2 instrumentos para la recolección de información para los peritos psicólogos y agentes fiscales respectivamente. Los datos concluyeron que los peritos psicólogos del cantón no han aplicado la técnica, mientras que sólo un agente fiscal ha solicitado la aplicación de la técnica en una sola ocasión.

The study was aimed to evaluate the accuracy of combined urine cytology and cystoscopy for the detection of the recurrence of superficial urothelial carcinoma of urinary bladder without bladder biopsy. A total 60 patients [males 48, females 12; age range 41-80 years (mean age- 63.15 years)] were included. Urine cytology as well as cystoscopy were done with a targeted biopsy taken from any apparently visible growth in the bladder. The systematic biopsy was taken where there was no growth. Reports of the cytology and cystoscopy were compared with the histopathology reports. It was found that 18 patients were cytology positive (false positive 2) and 42 patients were cytology negative (false negative 10) with sensitivity 61.5% and specificity 94%. During cystoscopy 24 patients were found recurrent growth in the bladder (false positive 3) and 36 patients were negative (false negative 5) with sensitivity 80.7% and specificity 91%. But when combined urine cytology and cystoscopic findings evaluated, the sensitivity and specificity were found 100% and 91% respectively. In conclusion, combined urine cytology and cystoscopy can be used for the detection of recurrence of superficial urothelial carcinoma of urinary bladder.
