Fatores relacionados à neutralização de róticos e à despalatalização de [tʃ] e [dʒ] em português por hispanofalantes
Authors: Ros Pietra Da , Martins Rosemari Lorenz , Volmer Lovani
Published: March 2024

O trabalho compreende o fluxo migratório de latino-americanos com destino ao Brasil e o português como língua adicional necessária para a inserção social desse grupo, a fim de que haja comunicação com os nativos e, assim, a compreensão de direitos e deveres no país em que se encontram. Entende-se a aquisição fonológica da língua portuguesa como integrante do processo de aprendizagem da língua e, com base na percepção geral da primeira autora a partir de suas redes sociais de uma fala comum à região do Vale dos Sinos/RS, foi realizada uma análise da leitura de um mesmo texto em língua portuguesa de quatro imigrantes de três países diferentes com o objetivo de identificar processos fonológicos diferentes na produção comum desses sujeitos e justificar sua ocorrência. Os sistemas fonológicos do português e do espanhol foram contrastados e, em análise dos áudios, foi identificada a neutralização de róticos e a despalatalização de /tʃ/ e /dʒ/, diferentemente do que aponta a fala considerada comum à região. As causas para ambos os processos são justificadas por fatores diferentes: a neutralização do R-forte foi inversamente proporcional ao tempo de residência dos falantes no Brasil, enquanto a despalatalização pode decorrer do tempo de estudos formais do falante em português brasileiro.

The Effect of Leadership on Entrepreneurial Orientation, Learning and Internationalisation Performance: A Case of Czech Firms
Authors: Srivastava Mohit , Scali Mattia
Published: March 2024

This study aimed to understand the effect of leadership on entrepreneurial orientation, domestic and international learning and the internationalisation performance of Czech firms. An online survey was administered to executives working on Czech firms’ internationalisation projects. The findings show that leadership positively affects domestic and international learning, entrepreneurial orientation and internationalisation performance. However, neither domestic and international learning nor entrepreneurial orientation had an effect on Czech firms’ internationalisation performance. Furthermore, we found that entrepreneurial orientation moderates the relationship between international learning and performance and between leadership and performance. However, entrepreneurial orientation only moderates the relationship between domestic learning and performance when it has a higher value. Previous studies have primarily focused on developed and developing countries, and insights into Central and Eastern European contexts are relatively scarce. Consequently, the findings provide valuable insights for executives looking to expand their Czech firms into international markets.
How do leaders’ political influence tactics affect dissent, cynicism and negligence? A research into medical representatives in Turkey
Authors: Mehtap Özge , Balkaş Jale , Tülemez Soner
Published: March 2024

The primary objective of this study was to investigate the influence of leaders' deployment of Political Influence Tactics (PIT) on the manifestation of articulated/upward dissent and negligent behavior among employees, with a specific focus on the mediating role of employee cynicism (EC). The study was theoretically grounded in both Psychological Contract Theory and Independent-Mindedness Theory. Data for this investigation were collected through surveys from a sample of 308 medical representatives in Turkey. The collected data underwent rigorous analysis employing the Partial Least Squares Based Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method with the assistance of the SMART PLS 3.3.3 software. The findings of this study revealed that EC serves as a partial mediator in the relationship between pressure and ingratiation tactics and employee negligence. Notably, existing research within the realm of organizational politics often centers on Perceptions of Organizational Politics (POP), which encapsulates the subjective aspect of perceiving politics within an organization. In contrast, there has been relatively limited exploration into PIT, which adopts an objective standpoint. Furthermore, this study represents a pioneering effort as it identified a gap in the existing literature where no prior research has directly assessed the linkages between PIT and other key variables within the proposed model, namely cynicism, negligence, and articulated/upward dissent. Consequently, this study is poised to contribute significantly to the organizational politics and organizational behavior literature by addressing this notable gap.

Yusuf al-Qardhawi merupakan tokoh intelektual muslim yang lahir di sebuah desa kecil bernama Saft Turab di Mesir tahun 1926. Ia adalah sosok intelektual sekaligus ulama kontemporer yang cukup disegani dalam dunia ilmu pengetahuan Islam. Salah satu sumbangsih al-Qardhawi yang membahas tentang kontekstualisasi Sunnah, adalah al-Sunnah Mashdaran li al-Ma’rifah wa al-Hadharah. Buku ini membahas tiga tema pokok, yaitu (a) aspek tasyri’ dalam sunnah; (b) sunnah sebagai sumber ilmu pengetahuan dan (c) Sunnah sebagai sumber peradaban. Karyanya ini disusun menggunakan metode tematik dengan menggunakan sumber ma’sur dan juga ra’yu. Sedangkan terkait metode yang digunakan al-Qardhawi dalam membahas suatu hadis, menurut penulis, Beliau selalu memperhatikan sisi internal dan eksternal hadis. Segi internal Hadis yaitu mengenai isnad. Sementara sisi eksternal hadis yaitu pemahaman Hadis itu sendiri atau ma’anil hadisnya. Al-Qardhawi menetapkan delapan prinsip dalam memahami hadis: (a) memahami Hadis sesuai petunjuk al-Qur’an; (b) menghimpun Hadis-Hadis setema; (c) mentarjih Hadis-Hadis kontradiktif; (d) memahami hadis sesuai dengan latar belakang, situasi dan kondisi serta tujuannya; (e) membedakan antara sarana yang berubah-ubah dan tujuan yang tetap; (f) membedakan antara ungkapan haqiqi dan majazi; (g) membedakan antara yang gaib dan yang nyata dan (h) memastikan makna-makna konotasi di dalam Hadis.
Teori Belajar Kognitif Jean Piaget dan J.S.Bruner serta Implikasinya dalam Pembelajaran Bahasa Arab
Authors: Anwar Khaerul
Published: March 2024

Teori kognitif memiliki beberapa tahapan-tahapan, ada tahap sensimotor (anak usia 0-1,5 tahun), Tahap praoperasional (1,5-6 tahun), Tahap operasiaonal konkret (usia 6-12 tahun), Tahap operasional formal (12 tahun ke atas). Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji teori belajar kognitif perspektif Jean Piaget dan J.S. Bruner serta implikasinya dalam pembelajaran bahasa Arab. Artikel ini bersifat kajian pustaka. Hasil analisis Piaget dan Brunner keduanya sama-sama memfokuskan pemikirannya pada perkembangan kognitif (perkembangan berpikir). Tapi terdapat beberapa perbedaan yang mendasar di antara keduanya. Pertama, Piaget memfokuskan pada pemikiran logis yang berpuncak pada kapabilitas untuk memecahkan permasalahan multifaktor dipandang dari segi sebab akibat. Sementara Brunner berfokus pada Proses pemerolehan informasi baru, Proses mentransformasikan informasi yang diterima, Menguji atau mengevaluasi relevansi dan ketepatan pengetahuan. Kedua, Piaget memandang bahwa bayi dan anak kecil sebagai tertutup dalam dirinya sendiri (egocentrism), menerima objek dan orang disekitarnya sebagai bagian dari dirinya sendiri. Hal ini disebabkan oleh ketidakmampuan bayi dan anak untuk melihat sudut pandang orang lain. Secara perlahan, pemikiran (wicara) egosentris ini akan hilang setelah anak tersosialisasikan dengan cara berpikir orang dewasa. Sementara Brunner memandang bahwa pemikiran anak mampu menemukan dan mengembangkan sendiri konsep, teori-teori dan prinsip-prinsip melalui contoh-contoh yang dijumpai dalam kehidupannya.
Analisis Interpretasi Gender dalam Al-Qur'an: Kajian atas Buku 'Argumen Kesetaraan Gender dalam Al-Qur'an' Karya Nasaruddin Umar
Authors: Roqy Haikal  , Abd. Kholid
Published: March 2024

Isu gender tetap menjadi fokus kajian dan subjek perdebatan di kalangan ilmuwan, dengan sebagian kelompok menolaknya dengan alasan bahwa Islam tidak mengakui prinsip kesetaraan gender. Kompleksitas masalah publik seputar isu gender semakin mencuat ketika dihadapkan pada fenomena kontemporer. Pertama, ada pandangan yang menyatakan bahwa gender adalah konstruksi sosial, sehingga perbedaan tidak secara otomatis mencirikan perbedaan peran dan perilaku dalam ranah sosial. Kedua, ada pandangan yang menyatakan bahwa perbedaan gender selalu memiliki dampak pada konstruksi konsep gender dalam konteks kehidupan sosial, sehingga selalu ada jenis peran yang berstereotip gender. Artikel ini berusaha mengkaji kesetaraan gender menurut pandangan Nasaruddin Umar. Penulis menggunakan metode penelitian kepustakaan deskriptif-analitis. Hasil dari artikel ini menunjukkan bahwa Nasaruddin Umar menyempurnakan teorinya tentang kesetaraan gender dengan menemukan beberapa catatan penting. Selain melihat makna semantik dalam ayat-ayat yang terklasifikasi, ia juga secara kritis meninjau kesetaraan gender dalam Al-Qur'an secara umum.

Recognizing that teachers draw on a wealth of knowledge, professional judgment, and resources in determining what children and teens are reading at school, the author asks what it means for teachers and librarians today? It means they must understand the principles of intellectual freedom, and also how those principles are applied in the real world. They must be willing to acknowledge and move beyond their own biases and fears, and they must be prepared to defend the rights of the children and teens for whom they have a professional responsibility.

When the interconnections are overlooked, resources are under-utilized or become tainted.

Research Directions: Mobile Texts and Migrant Audiences: Rethinking Literacy and Assessment in a New Media Age
Authors: Stornaiuolo Amy , Hull Glynda , E. Wohlwend Karen , Evan Nelson Mark
Published: March 2024

This article highlights the importance of rethinking literacy assessment in a digital and global world. Although pressures currently abound to narrow conceptions and practices of literacy, especially in an era of high stakes testing, digital multimodality and connectivity offer the potential for new ways of thinking, representing, and communicating, as well as new avenues for participating in relationships across social, geographic, and cultural difference. We explore the challenges of redesigning assessments so that they better take into account children’s multiliterate capabilities. In so doing, we offer examples from our work in afterschool contexts that demonstrate how we have grappled with the complexities of assessment in new times.
Children’s Literature Reviews: In Defense of Not ’Teaching’ a Book
Authors: Price-Dennis Detra , Wissman Jackie , Beierle Marlene , Pietrandria Laura , Wee Jongsun
Published: March 2024

While considering options for the assessment theme of this issue, the editors discussed multiple ways that books are being "used" with students to examine and assess their learning. We began to question the message that "using books" sends to students and policy makers about the purpose of books in the classroom. Of course we want teachers, parents, and librarians to build around books using authentic experiences with drama, art, or music, theses connections serve as a means to enhance our literary experiences. Nevertheless, we worry that significant, timeless, and downright enjoyable books have been used for the sole purpose of teaching literary devices like theme or point of view, or are watered down for comprehension questions during guided reading. As a profession, if we always use books to teach something else, never for aesthetic appreciation or pleasure, what will this mean for the lifelong readers we profess we are trying to create? We believe children’s literature can provide examples and support for teaching language arts standards, but quality books should not be overlooked because they don’t meet a standard or align with scripted assessment protocols. For this issue of Language Arts, we shift the focus from “using books” to reading and responding to children’s books for enjoyment. For this column, we reviewed books that invite readers to create shared experiences around meeting new characters or going on new adventures. We have selected books that offer readers an opportunity to experience laughter, fear, hope, and excitement with no strings - or standards - attached.
Kyle and the Basilisk: Understanding Children’s Writing as Play
Authors: M. Boldt Gail
Published: March 2024

In this article, Boldt considers decisions teachers must make about the value of children’s writing as a form of play in primary classrooms. She offers a brief history of the framing of this question at 1966 Dartmouth Conference on English, focusing particularly on the perspective of Jimmy Britton. She highlights the relationship between Britton’s work on play and fantasy and that of his brother-in-law, the child psychoanalyst D. W. Winnicott. Reading across their publications on play and fantasy, she has drawn out the argument that their work was motivated by a mutual concern about the dangers of orthodoxy, compliance, and what Winnicott referred to as a “fascist state of mind." She highlights that what they advocated for was a set of playful practices, including Britton’s understanding of children’s writing as a form of play, that were grounded in a deep concern that classroom pedagogy could contribute either to children’s sense of social responsibility, artistic and creative potential and emotional security, or to fear, rigidity and conformity. She argues that to return to this set of concerns is particularly timely in today’s accountability-driven environment.
What Happens in the Arcade Shouldn’t Stay in the Arcade: Lessons for Classroom Design
Authors: Whitmore Kathryn , Laurich Lindsay
Published: March 2024

What features of the physical environment in video game arcades lead kids to be so engaged? How can analysis of arcade space inform language arts teachers’ decisions about designing classroom environments?Â  This article presents an analysis of physical space in video game arcades and participants’ positions therein to suggest how language arts teachers can explore student-designed learning spaces.Â  Qualitative analysis of the arcade space revealed three learning principles: clustering and collaborating, inverting traditional structures of power, and reconstituting access and ownership. Following a detailed assessment of the existing literacy environment in one 5th-6th grade classroom, the researchers and the classroom teacher applied these principles through physical arrangement changes in the classroom. This study shows that arcades are not only places of fun and games for children, nor are they disruptive of learning.Â  Rather, understanding the physical space in video arcades offers principles of design to advance opportunities for students’ and teachers’ literacy learning and identities.

The Neglected Dimension
Authors: Rahadiningtyas Anissa
Published: March 2024

The Neglected Dimension offers an insight into a moment in Southeast Asian modern art when a group of artists from the city of Bandung, Indonesia reimagined Arabic calligraphic writing. At the heart of this effort was an art school at Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB), which stood at the forefront of experimentations with forms of Islamic spirituality and abstraction. Four artists are featured in this exhibition: Ahmad Sadali (1924–1987), A.D. Pirous (b. 1932), Haryadi Suadi (1938–2016) and Arahmaiani (b. 1962). They represent three generations of artistic training at ITB, as well as distinct approaches to calligraphic abstraction that reflect changing values, identities and conventions in Indonesia from the 1970s to the present. Together, their works highlight how they interacted with global conventions in modern art, evolving ideas around Islamic spirituality, feminist activism and the experience of being Muslim in Indonesia.
Development Model of Tourism Area Based on Local Wisdom in Lake Toba, North Sumatra
Authors: Zefri Zefri , Sanggam Sanggam
Published: March 2024

The problem addressed is that cultural aspects are key in the development of the tourism sector. Data analysis techniques used relevant methods with the research objectives, including seven types of analysis techniques and compilation of analysis results to determine the direction of development, such as: socio-economic environmental analysis; analysis of the Importance Values of cultural resources in the Lake Toba area in Toba Samosir Regency; Content Analysis to describe the communication content about the principles of local wisdom; SWOT Analysis in the Tourism Area Development Strategy of Lake Toba in Toba Samosir Regency. Thus, a concept and formulation of the Development Strategy of the region are obtained. The research results show that the core values of culture of a nation or ethnic group usually reflect the identity of the respective tribe or nation. The core values that remain fixed and apply to all sub-tribes of Batak in any region they are in, namely "Dalihan Natolu" customs, where these customs can penetrate religious barriers into a social unit. It is one of the cultural values that pride the Toba Batak people, namely the philosophy of life, namely the social relationship system "Dalihan Natolu," which is realized in very close kinship relationships based on blood lineage (genealogical) and marriages that are passed down through generations to the present. The Development Model of Lake Toba Tourism Area in Toba Samosir Regency is sustainable tourism area development through strategies that raise local aspirations for global environmental interests to achieve sustainability.
ВИКОРИСТАННЯ TELEGRAM ПІД ЧАС ВИВЧЕННЯ ЮРИДИЧНИХ ДИСЦИПЛІН КУРСАНТАМИ-НАЦГВАРДІЙЦЯМИ В УМОВАХ ДИСТАНЦІЙНОГО НАВЧАННЯ

Статтю присвячено узагальненню досвіду використання інформаційно-комунікаційних технологій у викла- данні правових дисциплін в навчальних закладах з особливими умовами навчання. Наголошено, що використання сучасних інформаційно-комунікаційних технологій в навчальному процесі зумовлено чинниками об’єктивного та форс-мажорного характеру. До першої групи чинників автори відносять світоглядні зміни, зміну лінійного типу мислення кліповим, діджиталізацію всього суспільного життя, що пов’язано з новим етапом у розвитку людства – інформаційним та постінформаційним суспільством і здобутками четвертої промислової революції. Друга група чинників відображає непередбачувані події в житті людства або окремої країни, які змінюють підходи, методи та інструментарій у забезпеченні навчального процесу: пандемія COVID-19, російсько-українська війна.

У статті звернено увагу на те, що застосування новітніх інформаційних технологій в освітньому процесі охоплює технічні засоби, нові підходи, нові методи і методики навчання, зміну статусу викла- дача (від ментора і єдиного джерела знань до консультанта, керівника навчального процесу).

Кожна навчальна дисципліна передбачає адаптацію новітніх інформаційно-комунікаційних техно- логій під свої особливості. Щодо викладання юридичних дисциплін варто враховувати: значний обсяг матеріалу, постійні зміни у законодавстві і судовій практиці. Особливу увагу в статті приділено використанню у викладанні юридичних дисциплін месенджера Теlegram. Показано, що за допомогою цього додатка можна організовувати як індивідуальну, так і групову роботу в умовах дистанційного навчання та забезпечити курсантам вільний доступ до навчальних матеріалів. Виокремлено позитив- ні сторони використання вказаного месенджера як для курсантів, так і для викладачів.

У статті розглянуто питання формування професійної іншомовної комунікативної компетентності майбутніх офіцерів на основі інтерактивних методів навчання. Виявлено переваги застосування рольових і ділових ігор, а саме: наближення освітнього процесу до реальної професійної діяльності; стимулювання творчої активності та самостійності; розвиток навичок спонтанного мовлення, подолання бар’єру між вивченням іноземної мови та її практичним застосуванням; набуття професійних рис і якостей компетентного професіонала, здатного до іншомовного спілкування.
МОДЕЛЬ ОЦІНЮВАННЯ МОЖЛИВОСТІ ВИКОНАТИ БОЙОВІ ЗАВДАННЯ СТОРОЖОВОЮ ОХОРОНОЮ ПІДРОЗДІЛУ НАЦІОНАЛЬНОЇ ГВАРДІЇ УКРАЇНИ

У статті наведено модель, застосування якої надасть змогу командирам підрозділів Національної гвардії України й інших військових формувань оцінювати та досягати прогнозовану можливість успішного виконання бойових завдань органами сторожової охорони під час здійснення розташування на місці. Розрахунки ґрунтуються на тактико-технічних характеристиках наявних одиниць озброєння, військової техніки, засобів спостереження і ведення розвідки, а також застосуванні положень теорії ймовірностей та підходів математичного моделювання для проведення оцінювання прогнозованої можливості виконати бойові завдання основними органами сторожової охорони, на прикладі секрету, сторожового поста, головної сторожової застави, в умовах сучасного загальновійськового бою. На підставі отриманих прогностичних оцінок можливості виконання бойових завдань органами сторожової охорони постає можливість перейти до формування методики і практичних рекомендацій командирам тактичної ланки Національної гвардії України та інших військових формувань щодо недопущення раптового нападу противника на підрозділи під час розташування на місці.

The description, sources, kinds, uses, and/or functions of primary and secondary metabolites as byproducts of microbial metabolisms from diverse sources, such as plants, microorganisms, including bacteria, actinobacteria, and fungi, as well as their production and classification in a variety of fields, were all examined in this study. However, as climatic changes create conditions that favour recurrent outbreaks of these events, these metabolites serve as a critical requirement for a new pharmaceutical and chemical agents to combat cancers, heart diseases, pest, cytotoxic, mosquito, infectious disease, autoimmune disorder, etc. of both animal and plant. They are also used in the manufacturing of a variety of goods, including alcohols, antioxidants, phytochemicals, bioactive compounds, and food-grade acids (acetic, lactic, fumaric, etc.), as well as several value added goods used in both industrial and human applications. This review has described the useful applications of microbial metabolites in foods, chemical and pharmaceutical industries as well as other allied industries which are used for solving the nutritional and health needs of man.

Published: March 2024

Background: The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) is increasing globally, particularly in low and middle-income countries, driven by factors like rapid population growth, urbanization, obesity, and physical inactivity. In the south-south geopolitical zone of Nigeria, the pooled prevalence is 9.8%. This study focused on assessing the prevalence of DM in the Rumuomasi community in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. Method: 199 persons participated in this cross-sectional study using convenience sampling carried out at an outreach by GoodHeart and Life Support Initiative in November 2023 at the Rumuomasi community in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area, Rivers state, Nigeria as part of the World Diabetes Day. Fasting blood glucose were collected using two validated glucometers (Kiptrack blood glucose monitor) with a timing of 10 seconds and analyzed descriptively. Results: Out of 199 participants (63 males, 136 females), this study found a 6.53% diabetes prevalence (13 individuals), mostly in the 41-60 age group (n=7) and >60 age group (n=5). Despite this, the majority had normal fasting blood glucose. Pre-diabetes was present in 5.53% of the population. Conclusion: The prevalence of DM in this community (6.53%) was lower than the earlier reported of 6.8% in Port Harcourt in 2003 and 9.0% in Ekpoma, Edo State, Nigeria. This could be as a result of increasing diabetic – awareness programmes. Enlightenment campaigns on routine glucose checks, campaigns highlighting the value of a traditional lifestyle, particularly with regard to diet should be carried out more often.

This research is an analysis of the translation equivalents in Nigerian and Ghanaian Englishes. Translation equivalents refer to manifestations of mother tongues interferences in which lexical items are substituted literally from other local languages to English language. This study discusses the data from ICE Nigeria and Ghana respectively that reflect mother tongue interferences. All the data were purposively drawn from International Corpus of English (ICE) Nigeria and (ICE) Ghana components. A total of thirty-nine expressions constitute the data for analysis in this study. An eclectic framework of language interference, transfer and language variation and change is used for analysis. The analyses are in three levels: sociolinguistic, semantic and corpus based. This study identifies some distinctive NE and GhE lexical items from ICE Nigeria and Ghana with their meanings. Examples include “raise voice and no light” (NE) and “feel the rain and kill time” (GhE). The translation equivalents in NE are majorly as a result of the influence of the Nigerian indigenous languages: Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa languages, among others. That of GhE is greatly influenced by the Akan, Ewe and Ga languages. The study reveals that translation equivalents in both varieties of English are quite related.
