Linguistic geography in Serbia - linguistic notes on maps and their reading
Authors: Miloradovic Sofija
Published: March 2018

The creation of linguistic atlases is the highest achievement of
linguogeography. A scientific linguistic map with all the necessary
accompanying elements offers the possibility to trace the geographic
distribution of an actual linguistic phenomenon. The text starts by pointing
out the importance of linguistic atlases as the ?central instrument? of
contemporary dialectology. Subsequently, it presents the work of the
Interacademic Committee for Dialectological Atlases (SASA), founded in 1959
as the Yugoslav Committee for Dialectological Atlases, spanning several
decades and constituting the framework for the local activities of three
international projects (Atlas of the European Languages - ALE, The General
Slavic Linguistic Atlas - OLA, and The General Carpathian Dialectological
Atlas - OKDA) and the national project named The Serbian Dialectological
Atlas - SDA (earlier The Serbo-Croatian Dialectological Atlas). Further, the
paper presents the existence of numerous linguistic maps in national
publications, published within dialectological scientific papers and
monographic studies and bearing witness to the work performed in the
background of our major tasks in the linguogeographic field. The paper also
indicates the importance of linguistic maps for various scientific
disciplines and areas.
Expected Benefit Payments and Asset Allocation in Defined Benefit Plans Post-SFAS 132(R)
Authors: Blankley Alan I. , Hong Philip Keejae , Roland Kristin C.
Published: March 2018

SYNOPSIS

We contribute to the literature examining defined benefit pension plan asset allocation in the post-SFAS 132(R) reporting environment. SFAS 132(R) requires firms to disclose the expected annual pension benefit payments, thus providing a direct way to measure pension plan payout horizon. Controlling for previously documented determinants of pension asset allocation, we find evidence that a payout horizon measure constructed from SFAS 132(R) disclosures is associated with the firm's pension investment decisions. Specifically, we document that firms with a greater proportion of pension obligations due in the short horizon allocate a smaller portion of their plan assets to equity investments. Additionally, we provide evidence that our proposed measure explains asset allocation over and above previously used proxies representing plan horizon, confirming the usefulness of the 132(R) mandated disclosures.

Adrenaline is a powerful stimulus of glucagon secretion. It acts by activation of β-adrenergic receptors, but the downstream mechanisms have only been partially elucidated. Here, we have examined the effects of adrenaline in mouse and human α-cells by a combination of electrophysiology, imaging of Ca2+ and PKA activity, and hormone release measurements. We found that stimulation of glucagon secretion correlated with a PKA- and EPAC2-dependent (inhibited by PKI and ESI-05, respectively) elevation of [Ca2+]i in α-cells, which occurred without stimulation of electrical activity and persisted in the absence of extracellular Ca2+ but was sensitive to ryanodine, bafilomycin, and thapsigargin. Adrenaline also increased [Ca2+]i in α-cells in human islets. Genetic or pharmacological inhibition of the Tpc2 channel (that mediates Ca2+ release from acidic intracellular stores) abolished the stimulatory effect of adrenaline on glucagon secretion and reduced the elevation of [Ca2+]i. Furthermore, in Tpc2-deficient islets, ryanodine exerted no additive inhibitory effect. These data suggest that β-adrenergic stimulation of glucagon secretion is controlled by a hierarchy of [Ca2+]i signaling in the α-cell that is initiated by cAMP-induced Tpc2-dependent Ca2+ release from the acidic stores and further amplified by Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release from the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum.

Influence of liquid-nitrogen freezing of gas-bearing shale rocks on their compressive strength
Authors: Borek Kinga
Published: March 2018

Any definable relation between falling temperature and the compressive strength of shale rocks should provide a useful predictive tool aiding optimization of the results of hydraulic fracturing. In this research, an automeasuring hydraulic press, a thermo-camera and the Fluent ANSYS software were used. The results of laboratory simulations, and the effects of experiments conducted on shale rocks to determine permanent changes in compressive strength, are presented. As both frozen rocks and rocks returned to room temperature show diminished compressive strength. It is suggested that prior freezing of rocks can increase the efficiency of fracturing.
Factors differentiating between concentric and sprinkled multiple-patronage shoppers in Kuwait
Authors: Aldousari Abdullah A. , Elsayed Ismail M.
Published: March 2018

Two types of hypermarket spenders with multi-patronage behavior were identified; namely, “Concentric” and “Sprinkled.” The objective of this study is to examine which of hypermarket store attributes differentiate between the two types of spenders, and to determine the differences of their demographic characteristics. Six store attributes including the depth of the product assortment, store services, location convenience, sales promotion, prices, and store reputation were examined. Also, five different demogrpaphics were tested including gender, nationality, marital status, education and monthly income.. A cross sectional design with an intercept survey was used. Three hundered cusdtomers were intercepted at diffeerent hypermarket store locations and asked to fill out the survey instrument. Two research hypotheses were tested using the survey data. The interpretation of the discriminant function showed that “concentric” spenders score quite high on store services, moderately on convenience and sales promotion, and low on prices. Both product assortment depth and store reputation were not important to the discriminant function interpretation. Results also indicated that only two demographics were significantly differentiating between the two types of spenders. Several recommendations were made based on the study findings to enable each hypermaqrket store in Kuwait to increase its share of a consumer’s wallet.
Repellency potential of some botanicals against the maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais (Motschulsky, 1855) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in stored sorghum
Authors: Suleiman Mohammed , Rugumamu Costancia P. , Ibrahim Nasiru D.
Published: March 2018

Repellency of Euphorbia balsamifera, Lawsonia inermis, Mitracarpus hirtus and Senna obtusifolia along with permethrin powder against Sitophilus zeamais was evaluated in the laboratory at 28-32°C and 60-75% RH. The botanicals were applied as powders, methanolic, ethanolic and aqueous extracts at the rate of 2.5, 5.0 and 10.0 x 104 ppm per 20 g of sorghum grains, while the permethrin powder was applied at 0.056 x 104 ppm. Percentage repellency was recorded at 1, 6, 12 and 24 hours after exposure (HAE). All the botanicals were found to have a repellent effect against Sitopholus zeamais at all three concentrations. The highest (82.22 ± 2.22%) repellency among the botanical powders was exhibited by 10.0 x 104 ppm of Euphorbia balsamifera within 24 HAE. Methanolic leaf extracts were found to be more effective than the other formulations, causing total repellency against the weevils at 10.0 x 104 ppm of all the botanicals, while the activities of the aqueous extracts were the least repellent (41.37 ± 7.39 to 60.14 ± 1.64%) after 24 hours of exposure. The repellent activities of the botanicals decreased with increasing exposure periods for powders and aqueous extracts, and increased with increasing duration for methanolic and ethanolic extracts. The results showed that the botanicals were good repellents against Sitopholus zeamais and could serve as stored sorghum protectants against maize weevil infestation. Grains protected with these botanicals could be used as seeds for planting. Meanwhile, studies on the toxicity of these botanicals against higher animals are recommended.
Soft Skills of Czech Graduates
Authors: Balcar Jiří , Šimek Milan , Filipová Lenka
Published: March 2018

Finding a job is easier for people who are better equipped with soft skills, as they are more productive. Therefore, this article deals with the evaluation of soft skills of graduates from Czech public universities. The results show that the same soft skills are required from university graduates as from the population as a whole (only problem solving is more pronounced with them), but the required level of these skills is 42% higher in the case of graduates. Unfortunately, employers perceive the level of graduates’ soft skills insufficient as their level is by 16.46 to 31.15% lower than required. A more detailed analysis showed that, in terms of the development of soft skills, Czech universities provide a very homogenous service. Graduates of universities have nearly the same level of soft skills, while they can also identify similar strengths and weaknesses. These findings suggest that Czech universities should pay more attention to the systematic development of soft skills.

O processo terapêutico é um procedimento científico, em que são utilizados técnicas e testes psicológicos, podendo ser individual ou coletivo, com objetivo de intervenção psicológica mediante uma queixa. O principal objetivo desse processo é elucidar e elaborar conteúdos psicológicos, buscando classificar, prever e intervir no curso da queixa em questão. No caso da adoção e do conflito emocional, o processo terapêutico entra como importante instrumento no que concerne a compreensão e as estratégias a serem utilizadas para minimizar o sofrimento e a angústia. O presente trabalho trata-se de um relato de caso de uma criança adotada aos oito meses de vida, onde a principal queixa centralizou-se no comportamento agressivo e dificuldade em lidar com frustração. Os dados foram coletados e interpretados através do referencial psicanalí­tico winnicottiano. Os resultados obtidos no processo terapêutico evidenciaram condições ambientais adversas na fase de dependência absoluta, ocorrendo assim o comprometimento na integração da criança ao meio familiar e social. Isso se deu devido à criança ser gerada em um ambiente intrusivo, marcado por sérios desajustes, como, situação de extrema pobreza, falta de uma gestação planejada e assistida e dependência quí­mica da mãe biológica. Observou-se também, que a famí­lia adotiva não conseguiu desenvolver um ambiente no qual os conflitos inconscientes da criança pudessem ser elaborados, pois o colocavam no lugar de alguém que deveria ser poupado e atendido em seus anseios. Conclui-se que ma das possibilidades para um melhor desenvolvimento emocional dessa criança seria oferecer um ambiente facilitador que possibilitasse a resolução de tais conflitos.

Menalar Penguatan Partisipasi dalam Penyusunan Kebijakan di Era Pemerintahan Digital
Authors: Hanantyo Hanantyo
Published: March 2018

Ditengah beragamnya kapasitas pemerintah daerah dalam menyediakan kebijakan  berbasis pada penguatan Information and Communication Technology (ICT), maka kemudian muncullah dominasi tentang formulasi maupun penyelenggaraan kebijakan yang efektif dan efisien. Konsekuensi dari dominasi tersebut kemudian mendahulukan dimensi teknokratisadministratif, sedangkan dimensi politik atas ruang partisipasi mulai terpinggirkan. Hal tersebut diwujudkan dengan model pengambilan kebijakan teknokratis-administratif. Hal ini tentu membuat kesimpang-siuran paradigma terkait dengan letak dari dimensi teknokratisadministratif maupun dimensi politik dalam kebijakan publik, dimana sebagaimana diketahui formulasi kebijakan menjadi bagian dari proses politik dan implementasi adalah proses administrasi. Oleh karena itu, perlu kembali untuk menalar penguatan partisipasi dalam penyusunan kebijakan publik di era pemerintahan digital. Penelitian ini bersifat kualitatif menggunakan desk-research. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan dimensi politik atas ruang partisipasi menjadi instrumen penting dalam penyusunan kebijakan publik di era pemerintahan digital. Artinya, ruang partisipasi masyarakat tetap menjadi titik tekan yang perlu diperkuat ditengah adanya tuntutan akan penyelenggaraan kebijakan publik yang efektif dan efisien dalam era pemerintahan digital yang berbasiskan pada Information and Communication Technology (ICT).

RASHOMON DAN PEREMPUAN TUA DALAM RASHOMON: ISU PLAGIARISME
Authors: Fatoni Akhmad
Published: March 2018

Plagiarism is an immoral act in the world of authorship. But the extent to which the boundaries of a writing is called plagiarism or nonplagiat, that is what until it has not been given a benchmark. Speaking of plagiarism necessarily belongs to the originality of a writing, but when speaking of originality is certainly something that is impossible to do. For every writing must be the ideas of others in it. In the world of Indonesian literature, the issue of plagiarism has often occurred and is expressed. The incident a few years ago re-emerged in newspaper literature, precisely in the year 2011 ago. The case happened to a young writer, Dadang Ari Murtono (DAM), on the accusation that the short story in Rashomon Old Woman is a plagiarism of Rashomon's short story by Rynosuke Akutagawa, Japanese cerpenis. This paper examines the case of such plagiarism using the method of comparative literature study and using the theory of postmodernism. The purpose of this study is to uncover whether or not the DAMs act of plagiarism or the phenomenon is only political literature. In addition, it also opens up a new discourse that forms of writing as do DAM included in the category of theft or a new offer in the world of authorship.

Published: March 2018

The writing lesson is actually very important given to the students to practice using the language actively. Our school in general is rather ignorant of writing lessons. The theoretical test material can lead to the motivation of the language teacher to teach the composing material only to be able to answer the exam questions, while the skill aspect is ignored. In addition to the above matters, it is assumed that some teachers who consider the authoring assignment given to the student are too burdensome or the task is too much for the student, so he feels sorry for the heavy burden to his students. Based on the above explanation, the researcher would like to try to do research with the title "Increase Learning Achievement of Indonesian Language Writing with Guided Learning Methods on Grade VII Students of Junior High School Saint Yosef Surbaya".

Published: March 2018

Gender differences become big problem which are still discussed by many intellectual circles. These differences exist in many life aspects such as culture, economic area, language, and art. Indonesian culture believes that woman and man have different role. Woman has lower position than man. It is shown from many songs which contain the ideology of woman’s inferiority in the society. To establish the relation between song lyrics and ideology of gender differences, critical discourse analysis is applied to identify song writer’s ideology about woman. As the result, there are four ideologies which humiliate woman’s position. It identifies woman as second part in every life aspect which means woman has lower position than man.
HOW AN ENGLISH BOOK ILLUSTRATES GENDER ROLE IN THIS ERA: A CRITICAL REVIEW
Authors: Floriasti Tri Wahyuni
Published: March 2018

Language is a tool to express feeling, idea, and share information. Language reflections  the speakers who have many things in common such as tradition, background, values and customs, then they have their own culture in communication among them.  Thus, it can be said that they have their own standard for leveling the social class, sexual orientation, language home, and gender roles in the society. Since language is a part of culture so  learners need to be aware of values in the society. For instance, learners, speakers of the language itself  or whoever interest  to  the language need to see the roles of male and female in the professional   and daily life which has been shifted from unpopular profession for female workers to favored career.  It cannot be ignored that in the  dreality, several English guidebooks for students still contain unresponsive gender pictures as media to introduce English material.  Women are profiled as nurses, housekeepers, nannies, and other unpopular positions while man  are figured as directors, CEO, pilots, doctors, and other most-wanted careers. In fact, the roles of women and men have been shifted and they have  equal   position now in professional life. This situation turned teachers and lecturers to be more creative in designing innovative material. Thus, teachers need to integrate not only such important points as good English material but also knowledge of gender into students’ materials. Therefore, learners and the society get and apply the knowledge and start appreciating each other, both men and women.
Canopy Achitecture, Biomass and Fruit Production of Solanum nigrum L. as Determined by Nitrogen Application
Authors: Santosa Edi , Putriantari Marcella , Nakano Hajime , Mine Yoko , Sugiyama Nobuo
Published: March 2018

ABSTRACT Demand on fruits of Leunca (Solanum nigrum L.) is increasing in Indonesia due to a rapid expansion of ethnic restaurants, especially Sundanese restaurants. Most fruits come from semi-intensive cultivation in intercropping system, leading to low productivity. In order to improve productivity, nitrogen experiment was carried out at field of Leuwikopo Farm of Bogor Agricultural University, Bogor-Indonesia, during rainy season from December 2013 to April 2014. Four levels of nitrogen, i.e., 0, 60, 120, and 180 kg N ha-1, were arranged in a randomized complete block design with four replicates. The results revealed that canopy architecture, dry matter and fruit production, and fruit quality were highly affected by nitrogen application. Increasing nitrogen levels increased biomass and fruit production. Plants treated with nitrogen at level of 60 kg ha-1 produced ideal height for local labor and stable weekly fruit production than other levels. Hence, N fertilizer is essential for achieving high productivity of S. nigrum.Keywords: canopy shape, fruit load, indigenous vegetable, leunca, ranti kebo ABSTRAK Permintaan buah Leunca (Solanum nigrum L.) terus meningkat di Indonesia sejalan dengan perkembangan restoran etnis khususnya restoran Sunda. Sebagian besar buah leunca berasal dari tanaman sampingan secara tumpangsari, sehingga produktivitas rendah. Dalam rangka meningkatkan produktivitas, percobaan pemberian nitrogen dilakukan di Kebun Percobaan Leuwikopo IPB, Bogor pada musim hujan Desember 2013 sampai April 2014. Nitrogen diberikan empat taraf yaitu 0, 60, 120, dan 180 kg N ha-1, yang disusun dalam rancangan acak kelompok dengan empat ulangan. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa bentuk kanopi, produksi bahan kering dan produksi buah serta kualitas buah dipengaruhi oleh pemberian nitrogen. Peningkatan dosis nitrogen meningkatkan bahan kering dan produksi buah. Tanaman dengan perlakuan 60 kg N ha-1 menghasilkan tinggi yang ideal bagi pemanen, dan hasil mingguan yang stabil dibandingkan dengan taraf yang lebih besar. Oleh karena itu, pemupukan nitrogen penting dilakukan untuk meningkatkan produktivitas leunca.Kata kunci: beban buah, bentuk kanopi, leunca, ranti kebo, sayuran tradisional
Evolution of the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme: Sectoral Coverage and Point of Obligation
Authors:   Motu Economic and Public Policy Research, Leining Catherine , Allan Corey , Kerr Suzi
Published: March 2018

When it was launched in 2008, the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme (NZ ETS) pioneered the design concept of implementing an emissions trading scheme (ETS) across all sectors of the economy (e.g. stationary energy, transport, industrial processes, forestry, waste and biological emissions from agriculture) and all six major greenhouse gases (GHGs). This reflected New Zealands relatively unique emission profile among industrialised countries (with heavy renewable generation, nearly half of emissions from agriculture, and a large land area suitable for forestry) and its interest in finding effective, efficient, and equitable solutions to the challenge of meeting its international emission reduction targets. Further innovations at the time  influenced in part by the governments previous efforts to implement a carbon tax in the energy and industry sectors  were the selection of predominantly upstream points of obligation in the energy sector, with the potential for some major downstream energy users to opt in voluntarily, and the selection of a default processor-level obligation in the agriculture sector, with the option to shift to a farmer-level obligation. As of 2017, the entry of biological emissions from agriculture has been deferred indefinitely. Otherwise, the proof of concept on both broad sectoral coverage and upstream points of obligation has been demonstrated through practical experience. To help inform future ETS policy making in New Zealand and internationally, this paper provides a conceptual foundation for design decisions on ETS coverage and points of obligation, and explores the history of and rationale for the specific design choices that have been made in this regard in New Zealand.

A Site/Sight We Cannot Bear: The Racial/Spatial Politics of Banning the Muslim Woman's Niqab
Authors: Razack Sherene H.
Published: March 2018

The niqab, the main subject of this article, is the garment worn by some Muslim women that conceals the face of its wearer, leaving only eyes visible. The Niqabi, as the wearer of the niqab is called, gives rise to high anxiety in the West. She generates an intense repugnance, a repugnance, I shall argue, that is paradoxically about desire. We need to ask why the niqab unsettles and who is unsettled by it and to ask these questions in a historically specific and contextualized way, keeping a sharp look out for the violence unleashed by bans. I suggest that in the West the niqab generates a deep anxiety surrounding knowing and possessing the woman who is covered. Bans on the niqab express a command to Muslim women to yield to racial and sexual superiority, and what is unbearable is her refusal to yield to the Western gaze. To make my case around possession, and to show its racialized, gendered, and sexualized dynamics, I offer an argument in two parts. First, I turn to legal cases banning the niqab, focusing primarily on the fantasamatic scenes of their legal geographies. Together these cases show that the primary legal logic on which bans rest—the idea, for instance, that an uncovered face is necessary for social interaction, is flimsy at best. The illogic that characterizes bans pushes me in the direction of psychoanalysis. Second, in an effort to understand what is at stake in these legal moments when law abandons logic, I reflect on the nature of the subject whose coherence cannot withstand the sight of a covered woman. The sexual nature of the responses to the Muslim woman wearing the niqab, the command to her to yield to the white masculine gaze, demands that we consider desire. Bans seek to reroute desire, damming up its flow and removing from sight the object of desire. I draw on Meyda Yeğenoğlu's exploration of colonial fantasy to explore the psychoanalytic basis to bans, emphasizing how the veil and niqab are experienced by many as obstacles to the visual control of Muslim women. I then turn to Susan Schweik, who considers the historical example of the banning of unsightly beggars. Schweik explores the scopic regime underpinning bans—that is, the removal from sight of anyone who threatens a subject's coherence. I suggest that we consider unveiling along these psychoanalytic and spatial lines, tracing the ways in which the subject is made racially and sexually superior through removing from sight the woman who refuses to yield to his or her gaze.
