However, kindergarten teachers in Indonesia are actually not the experts of the field. There are still limited graduated teachers majoring in kindergarten or early childhood education department. Promoting an effective learning can only be well done by teachers who are qualified enough. In addition, there is no best method in teaching such a foreign language to these young students. To sum up, teaching a foreign language to very young students who are living in and accustomed to the first language is a challenging task for the kindergarten teachers.
SOCIAL FACTORS PROMPTING ADULT BILINGUAL SPEAKERS TO CODE SWITCH
Authors: Bani Bili Yunita Reny
Published: January 2018

It has been long known that bilinguals can switch their speeches from one language to another when interacting within their own community. Some experts argue that code switch occurs due to the lack of proficiency in languages, lazy choices and easy solutions in communicating, and impact of linguistic dominance. This paper describes the social factors which promote adult bilinguals in code switching. The paper focuses on three types of the social factors contributing to code switching.The first type deals with factors independent of specific speakers and circumstances such as prestige, cover prestige, and power relation. The second one is related to speakers’ competence both as individuals and members of a sub group. The last category refers to factors within the conversation where code switching emerges. To conclude, these social factors are highly relevant in prompting adult bilinguals to code switch.

Authors: Masrizal Masrizal
Published: January 2018

This article summarizes and reports an empirical study investigating students’ ability in recognizing grammatical errors and producing grammatically correct sentences. Thirty eight university students were involved in a set of grammar tasks which were specifically created to measure their ability to both identify errors and avoid them in language productions. The main purpose of the study is to prove whether their ability to pinpoint errors within sentences resembles their ability in producing grammatically correct sentences using the same features. The study also measures the appropriateness of the test items in order to see how it affects students’ performance. Final test data collected from the students in two different groups reveal that their ability to recognize sentence errors has positive correlation to their ability to produce correct sentences. The correlation figure among the more proficient students (group 2) is relatively larger, indicating that the amount of knowledge on relevant features positively influences, to a certain extent, the quality of language production and responses.

The Influence of Judgment Decomposition on Auditors' Fraud Risk Assessments: Some Trade-Offs
Authors: Simon Chad A. , Smith Jason L. , Zimbelman Mark F.
Published: January 2018

Auditing standards recommend separate assessments of the likelihood and magnitude of risks (hereafter, LM decomposition). Prior research shows that decomposition can focus individuals on the components of a judgment and make them more sensitive to information. An experiment with 101 experienced auditors shows that LM decomposition leads auditors to be less concerned about high-risk fraud schemes relative to auditors who make holistic risk assessments. Our analyses also show that, relative to those making holistic risk assessments, the correlation between auditors' likelihood judgments and their overall fraud risk judgments and the coherence of their fraud risk judgments are higher for auditors who perform an LM decomposition. Two follow-up experiments with students replicate these findings for higher-risk events, and (unlike the auditor experiment) we also find that LM decomposition results in lower risk judgments for lower-risk issues. We also find that LM decomposition mitigates the influence of affective responses on high-risk judgments.

Published: January 2018

Social activity being one of the main elements of organization of human vital activity, is characterized by systemic principle of formation and individuality of manifestations. Recognizing importance of the role of factors of social nature in development of social activity of an individual, one should agree that individual specialness of behavior largely depends on phenotypically determined psychophysiological and psychological features of an individual.
Aim. The aim of research was to develop criteria and parameters of phenotypic individualization of social activity of a person.
Materials and Methods. Into the study 146 individuals, males and females of 18-23 years of age were included. As the main criteria of psychophysiological and socio-psychological typologization of expressiveness and direction of social activity of an individual 2 groups of respective traits were used: impulsivity - initiativity - passivity, and prosociality - social neutrality - asociality.
Results. The conducted experimental study permitted to correlate the device-detectable levels of the general nonspecific reactivity of an organism with the extent of expressiveness of social activity in human behavior. Here, a high level of general nonspecific reactivity was associated with inclination to impulsive behavior, a low level was associated with passive behavior, and the medium level of the general nonspecific reactivity of an organism was associated with inclination to initiative behavior. A method of qualitative differentiation and quantitative assessment of the individual prosociality-asociality balance in human behavior has been developed and tested. In order to technologize the process of complex evaluation of the expression and orientation of social behavior, a matrix of social activity of an individual has been developed that integrally characterizes the psychophysiological and psychological potential of an individual.
Conclusion. The results of the study made it possible to specify the criteria and parameters of the phenotypical individualization of the social activity of an individual. The proposed method for assessment of the social activity of an individual provides a complex consideration of the physiological and psychological factors of the "sociality" of behavior, the possibility of qualitative typologization and quantitative determination of the individual prosociality-asociality balance, as well as algorithmization of the testing process.
Suicide and tuberculosis mortality: a comparative analysis of time series
Authors: Razvodovsky Y. E. , Zotov P. B.
Published: January 2018

Until recently tuberculosis mortality and the suicide rates in Russia were among the highest in the world. Tuberculosis and suicide belong to the medico-social problems and these epidemiological parameters are often considered indicators of psychosocial distress. There are theoretical premises and empirical evidence which suggest the positive relationship between suicide and tuberculosis mortality at individual and population levels.
Aim. The aim of the present study was to find out a link between the epidemiological parameters of tuberculosis and the suicide rates in Russia.
Materials and Methods. Trends in tuberculosis incidence/mortality and the suicide rates from 1980 to 2015 were analyzed using a time series analysis in order to asses bivariate relationship between the time series.
Results. The results of analysis indicate the presence of a statistically significant association between tuberculosis mortality and suicide rates for men at lag zero (r=0.71: SE=0.169). The association between tuberculosis mortality and suicide rates for women was also positive, but statistically not significant (r=0.26: SE=0.169).
Conclusions. The results of this study suggest positive aggregate-level relationship between tuberculosis mortality and suicide rates in men. This study indirectly supports the hypothesis that tuberculosis mortality can be considered an indicator of psychosocial distress.

Áudio-descrição nas Manifestações Artístico Culturais: Uma tradução Intersemiótica
Authors: SANTANA CORREIA JOÃO Batista
Published: January 2018

O presente trabalho buscou identificar e descrever a áudio-descrição – AD - como um recurso de tecnologia assistiva – TA - comunicacional indispensável para a inclusão cultural das pessoas com deficiência visual. Conforme os dados coletados e apresentados, em 2010, pelo IBGE - Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística - mais de 45 milhões de pessoas manifestaram possuir algum tipo de deficiência e, destas, 18,60% informaram ter cegueira ou baixa visão. A AD disponibilizada, “ao vivo” ou gravada, é um direito assegurado pela Constituição Federal de 1988 que, por sua praticidade e efetividade, permite o acesso; a interpretação; a significação, a contextualização e a interação das pessoas com deficiência visual com as produções artísticoculturais. No aspecto teórico, a áudio-descrição se configura como uma tradução ou transmutação intersemiótica caracterizada pela interpretação de um signo não-verbal por meio de um signo verbal, ou seja, a transformação da linguagem imagética, que não é perceptível pela visão, em linguagem verbal que chega por meio da audição à mente da pessoa com deficiência visual adquirindo assim potência suficiente para criar uma imagem mental semelhante ou equivalente àquela que estava presente na produção artístico-cultural. Para a consecução, utilizouse a metodologia qualitativa de cunho bibliográfico fundamentada na teoria de Roman Jakobson (2007) e de Motta; Romeu Filho (2010). Abordou-se a áudio-descrição na perspectiva de sua historicidade; da tradução intersemiótica; do recurso de tecnologia assistiva de acessibilidade comunicacional e da legislação brasileira.
Os Estudos Culturais e a influência da nova esquerda para uma nova teoria da cultura
Authors: Ribeiro Rafaela de Souza
Published: January 2018

O objetivo da presente exposição será apresentar as incursões que vimos realizando acerca da categoria cultura e sua relação com a totalidade social, a partir da tradição de estudos que concebe a cultura como constituinte do ser social e como modo de vida. Essa leitura é própria de autores da chamada nova esquerda, cujos principais expoentes são Raymond Willians, E.P Thompson, Richard Hoggart, entre outros. A iniciativa dos estudos na área se justificam pela importância e centralidade da categoria cultura no campo da teoria social e pela sua heterogeneidade e, portanto, necessidade de maior definição enquanto dimensão fundamental, principalmente como potencializadora de propostas de mudanças na realidade social a partir da superestrutura da sociedade contemporânea. A metodologia utilizada, foi uma revisão bibliografia que inclui uma incursão nos Estudos Culturais, desde o seu surgimento enquanto área específica de estudos e, também, na trajetória política de seus principais expoentes, o que nos revela pistas importantes para compreender suas diferentes fases de exposição e apropriação pela teoria social crítica e seu potencial de desvelamento e mudança da realidade social, como já sinalizado.
Del Buen Vivir a la metrópolis latinoamericana: una aproximación a su sentido urbano.
Authors: Cuevas Vargas Rodrigo Antonio
Published: January 2018

El Buen vivir/Vivir Bien se presenta como concepto y alternativa al desarrollo neoliberal que emerge en un contexto latinoamericano desde las cosmovisiones indígenas del Sumak Kawsay y el Suma Qamaña. En la emergencia de la actual crisis sistémica y civilizatoria en su escala global, presenta ciertos límites que surgen de su desplazamiento de las comunidades y territorios indígenas a esferas político administrativas o teórico académicas. El Buen Vivir se traslada así a un escenario urbano que materializa la producción y reproducción del capitalismo neoliberal, generando una brecha aparentemente irreductible entre sus principios y el lugar hacia el cual se desplaza. En este contexto surge el presente artículo, el cual busca contribuir a la discusión en torno al giro necesario que el Buen Vivir requiere para  reflexionar en torno a las ciudades, su estructura, modos de vida, así como sus posibilidades de subversión. Se plantea que en el contexto urbano global actual, este concepto no se puede constituir como única alternativa de ruptura posible, por lo que necesariamente debe dialogar con otras propuestas/epistemologías levantadas desde otras latitudes y regiones del globo. Se considera que una discusión fértil es posible con el actual debate en torno a los Bienes Comunes en cuanto éste representa una perspectiva que converge en la búsqueda el horizonte común de pensar y superar la actual crisis civilizatoria.

Authors: Sonderegger Melba
Published: January 2018

La convergencia global causada por el uso masivo de los medios y tecnologías de comunicación, así como la replicación del sistema capitalista en las economías mundiales, amenazó con homogenizar culturalmente las prácticas humanas. Sin embargo, la globalización se concretó con antítesis locales: la reafirmación de las identidades nacionales, así como el intento de reivindicar particularismos culturales a través de iniciativas y políticas de reconocimiento a la diversidad cultural. En estas páginas se analiza el papel de la revitalización de la cultura popular en la construcción de la identidad nacional mexicana; en específico, el caso de los fandangos jarochos en su transición de lo rural a lo urbano y los fandangos fronterizos en el marco de la globalización.

A condição letrada é um fenômeno de natureza complexa e multifacetada. Organiza-se em torno de um conjunto de gestos e comportamentos diversificados, de competências e habilidades heterogêneas, de objetos histórica e socialmente diferenciados; é construída por meio de um conjunto de práticas e de uma rede de instituições, agentes e materiais; responsável por grandes divisões no interior da sociedade e um dos fatores que poderiam transformá-la. O ingresso na cultura escrita por sociedades ocidentais já foi considerado uma das principais evoluções da era moderna. Dominar a escrita era também a produzir. Contemporaneamente, uma sociedade civilizada chega a exigir de seus membros o domínio e utilização da leitura de variados suportes em variadas formas (pois cada suporte acaba por desenvolver um modo de leitura peculiar). Pode-se, pois, inferir que o ato de ler é um ato de esforço e concentração que também exige reflexão. Dessa forma, a leitura assume o papel de um processo de disciplina intelectual, exigindo uma posição crítica daquele que é o leitor. Os ciberjovens não só consomem a leitura e toda produção midiática. Eles interagem com essa produção e realizam uma recriação cultural com identidade e público próprios denominada fanfiction cuja escrita pode ser divulgada em diferentes plataformas do ciberespaço sob diversos gêneros textuais. Este artigo é resultado da reflexão baseada na observação de um app que permite a escrita/ leitura e a divulgação dessa produção.

Este artículo intenta aportar al proceso de definir a la tradición musical de acordeón y bandoneón de la región norte del Uruguay y contribuir a la determinación si efectivamente puede ser considerada un género musical diferenciado. Explora a las perspectivas de distintos investigadores uruguayos sobre el contexto geográfico e histórico de la región, y se presentan los testimonios de los músicos entrevistados sobre las maneras en que ellos mismos autodefinen a su propia música y perciben la forma en que su música se diferencia del sur de Uruguay y de los países vecinos: Argentina y Brasil.
A cultura é acessível a todos? A função do intelectual orgânico como forma de debelar a imposição da hegemonia da classe dominante.

Published: January 2018

A cultura consiste em uma complexa palavra presente em distintos espaços da sociedade contemporânea. Apreender a cultura como instrumento potencializador de consciência crítica nos permite pensar a função do intelectual orgânico frente a hegemonia da classe dominante. A sociedade contemporânea, recheada por processos hegemônicos que inibem a potencialidade revolucionária da classe trabalhadora, é campo que, a partir do referencial teórico gramsciano e marxista, tornar possível a construção desse trabalho. O desafio está na construção de estratégias para o alcance da consciência de uma classe “para si” – nas palavras de Gramsci – onde por intermédio da resistência e da ação coletiva uma nova sociedade é possível.

En los últimos años, México ha tenido un crecimiento muy grande de las pequeñas y medianas empresas (también conocidas como pymes), y de la misma manera se espera que estas sean competitivas. En este sentido, se podría suponer que la introducción y el uso de las Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación (TIC) en las pymes como herramientas para el desarrollo y crecimiento de las empresas ha generado un alto impacto en sus procesos. Este artículo presenta un estudio cuantitativo, no exploratorio, transversal. Su objetivo es caracterizar la apreciación y la relación que tienen los usuarios de las TIC en las pymes que se encuentran en el sector de servicios del municipio de Mérida, en el estado de Yucatán, con la finalidad de poder determinar áreas de oportunidad que puedan contribuir a mejorar los resultados en las empresas y apoyar al incremento de su competitividad. Los resultados muestran que las pymes cuentan con un alto porcentaje de dispositivos y recursos de TIC, pero los beneficios por el uso de estas tecnologías no están siendo considerados de alto impacto.

El objetivo de este estudio es realizar un análisis de la planeación de la auditoría tomando como base los puntos requeridos en la norma ISO 19011:2011. Esta investigación es de tipo cuantitativa, descriptiva-correlacional y, a su vez, transversal. Se diseñó un instrumento para medir la planeación de la auditoría de un sistema de gestión de calidad en el que se identificaron siete dimensiones de las cuales surgieron 37 ítemes y se realizó un análisis de confiabilidad obteniendo un valor de 0.962 de coeficiente alfa de cronbach. Como resultados se obtuvo que las dimensiones analizadas tienen un alto grado de aceptación en cuanto a la percepción de los miembros del sistema; por otra parte, existe una correlación significativa entre cada una de las dimensiones y la variable estudiada. Se concluye que el instrumento diseñado puede ser aplicado en distintas organizaciones para identificar la percepción de los miembros de un sistema de gestión de calidad sobre la planeación de la auditoría del mismo.

Objectives: In the last several years, the incidence and fatality rates of tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) in Mongolia have been increasing with new cases being registered in areas without the main tick vector. Therefore, we sought to determine the geographical distribution of TBE in Mongolia. Methods: Data were analyzed on TBE virus prevalence of collected ticks and seroprevalence rate of TBE and TBE incidence rate among the human population from 2005 to 2016. Results: During this time, TBE incidence was 0.75 per 10,000 populations in Mongolia. Among 2,182 people investigated, seroprevalence rate was 14.6±10.9% (n=312) in 10 provinces and Ulaanbaatar city. The seroprevalence rate among the populations of Selenge, Bulgan and Khuvsgul provinces, which are home to the main tick vector I.Persulcatusis, were 1.8 times (CI 95% 1.5-2.3, p< 0.001) higher than other provinces where the tick species D.nuttalli and D.silvarumare found. The TBE virus prevalence of I.Persulcatus was 3.18%, D.nuttalli was 0.61% and D.silvarum was 2.9% among the 10,464 ticks sampled. Conclusion: Endemic areas of TBE are expanding from northern parts of the country where the main vector I. persulcatus is more common to steppe areas where the vector D. nuttalli is abundant.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to provide an evidence based foundation to implement interventions that improve the health of the population of UB, particularly pregnant women and their yet to be born children by reducing the impact of exposure to the ultra-high air pollution levels found in the city. Methods: This is a hospital based cross-sectional survey including 35 pregnant women, 26 doctors and 31 pregnant women participated in focus groups. All participants were selected from Family Health Centers and District Hospital in UB. Results: Pregnant women both lack accurate knowledge about the effects of extreme air pollution and mask wearing and desire to have more knowledge. Health practitioners scored much higher than pregnant women, in general, on knowledge about the health implications of air pollution and the benefits of wearing air masks. Pregnant women report an overall very negative perception about wearing air masks that is more negative than their report about their perceptions of other’s negative attitudes toward those who wear air masks. Conclusion: This pilot study exposes areas that can be used in a complementary manner in the design and implementation of the more detailed full survey that will lead to the design and implementation of the planned intervention.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of osteoporosis and investigate some of its risk factors among Mongolian adults. Methods: The subjects comprised of 2001 adults (age ranged from 20 to 87) were recruited from 5 ecological zones of Mongolia. After applying exclusion criteria, 1990 subjects were selected. Speed of sound (SOS) ultrasonic bone mineral density was measured in the distal one third of radius of the non-dominant arm using the Sunlight Omnisense (Sunlight Medical, Rehovot, Israel). The data were used to calculate mean SOS and T-score by WHO osteoporosis criteria. Results: The average age was 49.1±13.5 (men: 48.6±14.6, women: 49.4±13.0). The prevalence of osteoporosis in men and women from 20-35 years of age was 4.7% vs 6.2%, from 36-45 years of age was 7.2% vs 8.0%, from ages 46-55 was 11.4% vs 25.5%, from ages 56-65 was 21.9% vs 58.3%, and from those over 65 years of age was 35.6% vs 75.5%. The prevalence of osteoporosis was lowest in Ulaanbaatar city. The independent predictors of osteoporosis in Mongolian adults were female sex, menopause, lower education level, physical inactivity and low BMI (BMI<18.5). Conclusion: Compared to neighboring and industrialized countries, the prevalence of osteoporosis in Mongolia is significantly higher. Female sex, lack of exercise, lower education level, menopause and being underweight were identified as risk factors in Mongolian adults.
