Authors: Koryahin V. M. , Blavt O. Z.
Published: September 2017

The research objective is to define and ground the parameters of pedagogical principles of control in physical education of students of special medical groups. Materials and methods. To achieve the objectives set, the research relied on the following methods: general scientific methods of theoretical level: analysis and synthesis, conceptualization, systematization and generalization.Results. The results of the scientific research has shown that the control of students’ psychophysical state, as a necessary precondition for organizing physical education in special medical groups, is a factor that specifies the training program. The research has proved that the complex testing integrally evaluates the level of students’ psychophysical state. The latter is a prognostic health indicator and, at the same time, an indicator of the effectiveness of physical education in special medical groups. The research has found that control in this process is considered an organic combination of testing and evaluation, the result of which is a grade. Consequently, control in physical education of students of special medical groups should function as an integrated system aimed at solving the main task of physical education — to ensure the psychophysical preparedness of students with health disabilities for their future professional activities.Conclusions. The research has defined and grounded the parameters of pedagogical principles of control in physical education of students of special medical groups. It has found that the system of controlling students with health disabilities is a testing process presented as a set of standardized measurement methods. The latter is a pedagogical process synthesizing the procedures of testing and evaluation and thus intended to ensure the effectiveness of pedagogical actions in physical education.

Authors: Ivashchenko O.
Published: September 2017

The objective is to determine methodological approaches to pedagogical control of motor readiness of girls aged 6-10. Materials and methods. The participants in the experiment were girls aged 6 (n = 36), aged 7 (n = 48), aged 8 (n = 57), aged 9 (n = 38), aged 10 (n = 46). To achieve the tasks set, the research relied on the following methods: analysis of scientific and methodological literature, pedagogical testing and methods of mathematical statistics. The testing program consisted of well-known tests. As a modeling method, the research used factor and discriminant analyses.Results. The analysis of the factor and discriminant model of motor readiness has provided information necessary for making decisions in physical education management, as well as for developing effective physical training programs for girls aged 6-10.Conclusions. The girls aged 6-10 show a multifactorial structure of motor readiness. By analyzing the common features, the research has defined informative tests of motor readiness control for each age group. During the analysis, the research has calculated the canonical discriminant function coefficients (non-standardized), which act as the factors of specified variable values included in the discriminant functions. On their basis, it is possible to classify the girls by their level of motor readiness according to the age, which is of practical value.

THE EFFECT OF CODED AND NON-CODED CORRECTION FEEDBACK ON THE QUALITY OF INDONESIAN EFL STUDENTS’ WRITING
Authors: Saukah Ali , Dewanti Desak Made Indah , Laksmi Ekaning Dewanti
Published: September 2017

Written corrective feedback (WCF) in L2 writing classrooms has gained considerable attention in applied linguistics research over the past twenty years. WCF may take different forms of teacher’s responses to errors in students’ texts, among others Coded-Correction Feedback (CCF) and Non-Coded Correction Feedback (NCCF). A number of research studies on the effectiveness of various types of corrective feedback have been undertaken; however the effect of CCF and NCCF on the quality of students’ writing in Indonesian context has not yet been explored. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of Coded Correction Feedback and Non-Coded Correction Feedback on senior high school students’ writing quality. This study investigated the effect of Coded-Correction Feedback (CCF) and Non-Coded Correction Feedback (NCCF) on the quality of Indonesian EFL students’ writing. It involved 53 senior high school students of 11th Grade. Each student was exposed to two different treatments (CCF and NCCF) and the students’ writing quality, after receiving each type of treatments or WCF, was then measured. The effect of each feedback was estimated by comparing the individual students’ scores in writing composition after receiving CCF with their scores after receiving NCCF. The result of this study revealed that the quality of the students’ writing with CCF was better than that with NCCF. The findings of this study showed that the quality of the students’ writing receiving CCF was better than that receiving NCCF because CCF promotes awareness with noticing as well as understanding. Hence, the use of CCF can be considered more effective than NCCF.  Therefore, it is suggested that CCF be employed in giving corrective feedback to the students’ compositions to improve the quality of their writing, and that teachers employ CCF when giving WCF to improve the quality of students’ writing.
THE AUTHENTIC ASSESSMENT TO MEASURE STUDENTS’ ENGLISH PRODUCTIVE SKILLS BASED ON 2013 CURRICULUM
Authors: Rukmini Dwi , Saputri Lenggahing Asri Dwi Eko
Published: September 2017

In 2013, the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture published the 2013 Curriculum which demands teachers to implement authentic assessment as the method of assessing the students’ competence. There were three areas of students’ competence that should be assessed by authentic assessments, namely attitudes, knowledge, and skills. The types of authentic assessment that could be used to assess students’ skills are performance, project, and portfolio. This study aims at describing the implementation of authentic assessment to measure students’ English productive skills based on 2013 Curriculum at the eighth grade of a pilot school--State Junior High School 1 Ungaran (SJHS1U) in the academic year 2015/2016, explaining the problems the teachers encountered in implementing it, and explaining the solution used by the teachers to overcome those problems. The data were collected through interviews, class and document observations, were validated by triangulation of sources and analysed by using the flow model of Miles and Hubberman (1984). The results of the study revealed that the English teachers of the school have implemented the authentic assessment to measure students’ English productive skills. In doing so, the teachers asked the students to describe picture cues and retell the story as the performance assessments, to write a text for the portfolio assessment and to produce a comic for the project assessment. However, the implementation has not been conducted properly yet.
PROJECT-BASED LEARNING IN PROMOTING LEARNER AUTONOMY IN AN EFL CLASSROOM
Authors: Yuliani Yuyun , Lengkanawati Nenden Sri
Published: September 2017

In the Indonesian context, learning activities tend to be teacher-centered that a teacher still plays a dominant role in the learning process. Project-based learning is one of the approaches which is assumed to promote Learner autonomy. Since its implementation has not been effective, this study is aimed at  investigating the current issue of how Project-based learning promotes Learner autonomy in an EFL Classroom. It employs descriptive qualitative research design at six participants of Junior High School students, grade nine. The qualitative data collected through document analysis, observation and interview were analyzed qualitatively. The results of data analysis led to a conclusion that project-based learning has promoted Learner autonomy, which covers the criteria of self-instruction, self-direction, self-access learning and individualized instruction in each stage of Project-based Activity, namely the planning process, the implementation process and the monitoring process. There are also six important findings. Firstly, the learner autonomy varies among learners. Secondly, there is a linear relationship between learners’ achievement and Learner autonomy. Thirdly, Learner autonomy needs process, and the process shows irregular pattern. Fourthly, it is worthy noted that no one is one hundred percent autonomy. Fifthly, among the three stages of the Project-based Activity, the learners gain the highest degree of Learner autonomy in the Implementation Process. Sixthly, there are still constraints in enhancing Learner autonomy. Due to the constraints above, this study recommends that promoting Learner autonomy needs support in some specific areas, especially the professional treatment of the teachers and institutions.
A CLOSE LOOK AT BILINGUALISM RESEARCH IN ASIA
Authors: Zen Evynurul Laily
Published: September 2017

Asia is a ‘homeland’ for bilingualism research in regards to its diversity. It is considered as a vivid research site where there is significant growth of academic areas of exploration. Yet, there are very few scientific attempts to map bilingualism research in an Asian context so far. Thus, I bring the idea of mapping previous works through this literature study by specifically scrutinizing (a) bilingualism research in Southeast Asia, (b) bilingualism research in other parts of Asia, and (c) lessons to learn as a stepping stone to define the future of Indonesian bilingualism. The general data mapping I have explored includes Southeast Asian countries (Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam) and other parts of Asia (China, India, Israel, and Kazakhstan. The findings from the 33 previous works can be considered as empirical evidence that I will use to portray the research trends in Asia’s bilingualism. The trends show that 19 (55%) works have approached bilingual data from sociolinguistics perspective, whereas the other 14 (45%) have framed their analysis under psycholinguistic approach. Based on the methodological concerns from these works, I propose two major areas of exploration: Family Language Policy (FLP) and trilingual acquisition. FLP in Indonesian is a promising ground, as it brings together issues in language maintenance and shift that instigate a wider aspect of investigation; these aspects include bilingual language dominance, cross language influence, and so forth. Trilingual acquisition, the situation most Indonesian children are growing with, has a potentially significant impact on education, especially where a language curriculum is carefully planned and implemented. In conclusion, this mapping will hopefully shed a light on how bilingualism has academically been very appealing and will continue to fascinate more researchers.
CROSS-LINGUISTIC INFLUENCES OF MALAY THROUGH CARTOONS ON INDONESIAN CHILDREN’S LANGUAGE USE IN THE HOME DOMAIN
Authors: Aziz Zulfadli A. , Yusuf Yunisrina Qismullah , Nasir Chairina , Masyithah Claudia
Published: September 2017

The Malay cartoons that air on Indonesian television channels are now popular among children in Indonesia. The shows Upin & Ipin, Boboboi, and Pada Zaman Dahulu are especially popular with Acehnese children. Initial observations found that these cartoons have played a great role in the increased use of contemporary Malay in their Indonesian. Thus, this study discusses the cross-linguistic influences of Malay from cartoons in Indonesian children’s language use in the home domain. Data were collected through recordings and field notes. Some steps based on the framework by Lacey and Luff (2007) were taken to analyze the data. The results were transcribed and sifted to distinguish the significant data. The recording and its transcription were then re-checked. The last step was categorizing the data into cross-linguistic influences based on Ringbom (1987). These influences include borrowing, hybrids, phonetic influence, and relexification. The results showed the presence of only two aspects of cross-linguistic influences: borrowing and phonetic influences. Borrowing was the most frequent aspect, followed by phonetic influence. Relexification and hybrid did not appear in the data. Nevertheless, there were other cross-linguistic aspects that were found in the data, including intonation, parenthetic remark, and interjection. In the broad-spectrum, the initial mimic on the Malay cartoon characters has expanded to employment in the language use of the children while speaking Indonesian. This study is expected to contribute in some ways or another towards the development of sociolinguistics, especially in cross-linguistic influence in children’s language use. Indonesia and Malaysia are neighboring countries, and language contact between the two countries is inevitable and evident. Hence, the study on the influences can benefit sociolinguistics, especially when investigating language change in the future.
THE EFFECTS OF PRAGMATIC INSTRUCTION ON THE PRAGMATIC AWARENESS AND PRODUCTION OF KOREAN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
Authors: Kim Hyekyeng
Published: September 2017

Despite the ongoing research of interlanguage pragmatics, intervention studies concerning pragmatic instruction have not been conducted as actively. The present study aims to investigate the effects of pragmatic instruction on Korean university students specifically regarding compliment responses. The effects of the instruction were examined in terms of the students' pragmatic awareness and production, according to the various language proficiency levels of the students. A total of 106 Korean university students from various majors participated in the study. The experimental group received explicit pragmatic instruction, which entailed metapragmatic instruction, awareness raising activities, and output practice regarding compliment responses, whereas the control group was exposed to the target features with no explicit instruction. A set of pragmatic awareness questionnaire and discourse completion tasks were administered as the data collection instruments and an eclectic design was adopted to analyze the effects of the instruction regarding their pragmatic awareness and production. The results indicate that explicit pragmatic instruction provided positive effects for raising the level of pragmatic awareness in the low group. Additionally, both the intermediate and low groups showed a significant improvement in production, as confirmed by the examination between and within subjects, and also displayed a range of formulaic expressions with a less idiosyncrasy attributed to first language transfer. These results call for further attention to pragmatics in second language (L2) teaching and learning.
EXPLORING IMPLICIT META-DISCOURSE IN LEGAL DISCOURSE: AN ANALYSIS OF THE CHINESE AND AMERICAN CONSTITUTIONS
Authors: He Mengyu , Rahim Hajar Abdul
Published: September 2017

Research in meta-discourse, particularly explicit meta-discourse or meta-discourse markers has contributed much knowledge on the discourse features of specialised genres. However, there are very few studies on implicit meta-discourse. The current study explores implicit meta-discourse in legal discourse by comparing the implicit interpersonal meta-discourse in the Constitution of the People’s Republic of China with the Constitution of the United States. The focus of the study is the use of implicit meta-discourse, particularly the grammatical meta-discourse in the legal discourse of two different languages and cultural groups. The findings demonstrate that there are similarities and differences in the use of implicit meta-discourse in the two constitutions. Within the context of language discourse, the findings of the current study suggest that legal discourse is distinctive in the use of implicit interpersonal meta-discourse, particularly in the way writers intrude into the discourse implicitly by certain key grammatical forms of meta-discourse. Despite the objectivity and rigour of legal discourse, the current study found that there is some level of subjectivity in such discourse, evident from the use of implicit meta-discourse.
CONFERENCING APPROACH IN PROMOTING WRITING ABILITIY: A CLASSROOM ACTION RESEARCH STUDY ON LANGUAGE CREATIVE WRITING IN INDONESIAN LANGUAGE
Authors: Hartati Tatat
Published: September 2017

In recent days there is a growing interest in the study of creative writing. A number of approaches for teaching creative writing have also been investigated.  However, studies investigating creative writing particularly for primary school students are hardly to find. The aim of the present research is to figure out how conferencing approach is applied to teach poetry writing and to find out the impact of this approach to the students’ writing skills. The study used a classroom action research with 30 sixth-grade students as the participants. To ensure the present approach effectively improves the learning achievement, the study used three cycles of teaching steps, including classical, group, and individual. Various media and sources to support the learning activities were also used. The results of the study show that there is a significant improvement in students’ writing skills, in which the average score of the third cycle was twice higher than that of the first cycle. This suggests that conferencing instruction had been successful in improving students’ writing skills. The process of interaction, both among students and between students and the teachers, were also emphasized. In addition, the teachers gained an experience of assesing poetry writing analytically using four aspects: creative idea, diction, information, and imagination.

Authors: Mahshanian Amir , Eslami Abbas Rasekh , Ketabi Saeed
Published: September 2017

Rating accuracy in writing among EFL learners is crucial in determining their English proficiency. Despite the importance of its accuracy, little is known about various factors may affect the accuracy of rating writing essays. This study examines how raters’ comments on EFL writing tasks change as a result of fatigue. To this end, four raters were selected and each given 28 essays to score and comment on. Six general types of raters’ comments (i.e., those on grammar, choice of words, organization, punctuation, dictation, and capitalization) were into focus in this study. Overall, results suggested that fatigue affects raters’ frequency of comments on grammar, choice of words, and organization, and that raters’ comments on punctuation, dictation, and capitalization do not seem to change significantly due to the effect of fatigue. Furthermore, this study revealed that the most and least frequent comments in 112 scored essays were those on grammar and dictation, respectively.

Authors: Shaki Reza , Khoshsaligheh Masood
Published: September 2017

The study investigated the relationship between the personality typology of a sample of Iranian translation students and their translation quality in terms of expressive, appellative, and informative text types. The study also attempted to identify the personality types that can perform better in English to Persian translation of the three text types. For that purpose, the personality type and the translation quality of the participants was assessed using Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality test and translation quality assessment (TQA), respectively. The analysis of the data revealed that the personality type of the participants seemed relevant to the translation quality of all the text types. The translation quality of the participants with intuitive and thinking types was significantly better than the sensing type counterparts in translating expressive texts. The participants with intuitive and feeling types also performed better than their counterparts with sensing type in translation of the informative text. Moreover, the participants with intuitive, feeling, and thinking personality types performed more successfully than the participants with sensing type in translation of the appellative text. The findings of the study are discussed in light of the existing research literature.
THEME AND THEMATIC PROGRESSION OF UNDERGRADUATE THESIS: INVESTIGATING MEANING MAKING IN ACADEMIC WRITING
Authors: Gunawan Wawan , Aziza Fatayatul
Published: September 2017

This study attempts to investigate the choice of theme and thematic progression deployed in one of the considerably best undergraduate theses in a university in Indonesia. The choice of theme and thematic progression is constrained by the audience of a particular culture; therefore, the process of meaning making is culturally situated. The university, in effects, has its standard for grading academic writing, representing a culture that shapes meaning making processes. This study particularly focuses on how theme and thematic progression contributes to making meanings to meet the demands of the institution. This study employs a descriptive-qualitative research design embracing the characteristics of a case study approach. The data obtained from the best undergraduate student’s thesis were analyzed from the perspective of Halliday’s theme system and its progression. The analysis shows that the three types of theme: topical, interpersonal and textual themes, were realized in the thesis following the conventional features of good academic writings. The topical theme dominantly occupies the theme system chosen for the thesis. This study confirms that a good academic text shares its characteristics across cultures, suggesting that the teaching of academic writing in one culture could refer to the characteristics of good academic texts in other cultures.
A GENRE ANALYSIS OF PROMOTIONAL TEXTS IN AN INDONESIAN BATIK INDUSTRY
Authors: Kristina Diah , Hashima Noor , Hariharan Hariharan
Published: September 2017

This study explored sales promotion letters (SPLs) and company profiles (CPs) of two prominent batik companies in Solo, Central Java, Indonesia. This essay draws its data from the most important primary source of information on sales promotion letters and company profiles namely words, phrases, and clauses taken from the SPLs and CPs of batik written in Indonesian. Secondary sources were also consulted in this research, among these transcribed data obtained from in-depth interviews with the text writers and buyers. Three SPLs and two batik CPs were analyzed. In addition, two informants (marketing and promotion managers) typifying the text production perspective and two buyers typifying the text consumption perspective were interviewed. This research was guided by theories of genre analysis which focuses on patterns of rhetorical organization and genre-specific language features. This study employed the multi-dimensional and multi perspective model of analysis focusing on textual, socio-cognitive and ethnographic aspects of the texts. This study concludes that the strong Javanese cultural influence has made the underlying intention of gaining profits to be less explicitly stated. Secondly, the textual analysis and the in-depth interviews supported the view that CPs of batik had been ideally used to create a favorable image of the company. Thirdly, the most distinctive feature that differentiated establishing credentials in the Indonesian batik business context had been the utilization of a sense of moral obligation to preserve native culture. Fourthly, the chemistry between writers and readers of SPLs and CPs built a strong foundation for mutual understanding and thus paved the way for making purchases. To conclude, this study has shown how the wider culture and the culture of the discourse community has contributed to the framing and formatting of SPLs and CPs of batik in terms of lexico-grammar, cognitive structuring, intertextuality and interdiscursivity.
TEXT COMPLEXITY IN SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL ENGLISH TEXTBOOKS: A SYSTEMIC FUNCTIONAL PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Putra Dhani Aldila , Lukmana Iwa
Published: September 2017

Textbooks have been considered to play a key role in the processes of education by researchers and educators, and the need to explore the language of textbooks has become increasingly recognized. However, although textbooks are an important learning tool, textbook language and composition have not been widely explored especially from textual perspectives. The purpose of the present study is to investigate text complexity progression in the reading texts of English textbooks published for senior high school students in Indonesia. The nature and rate of that progression are addressed within the framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics. Being largely qualitative, this study examines three consecutive textbooks issued by the Ministry of Education, which are available online for classroom use. Data were collected and sampled from the reading texts found in the textbooks and were analyzed with regard to lexical density, lexical variation and grammatical intricacy in order to find the complexity of the texts. The results of the analyses show that regardless of the inconsistent progression of text complexity within each textbook, there is a consistent pattern of text complexity progression across grade levels. In other words, the lexical density, lexical variation and grammatical intricacy across the textbooks were found to have consistent progression from one grade level to another of which the direction is positive. It could be concluded that in general the language used in the texts becomes increasingly sophisticated, especially at lexical level, in accordance with grade level progression to cater for students’ intellectual development.
–ED ALLOMORPHS AND LINGUISTIC KNOWLEDGE OF MALAY SPEAKERS OF ENGLISH: A DESCRIPTIVE AND CORRELATIONAL STUDY
Authors: Lotfie Maskanah Mohammad , Kadir Maimunah Abdul , Pilus Zahariah
Published: September 2017

Malay is a language from the Austronesian family and unlike the Indo-European-originated English, it does not generally have inflectional temporal markers. Investigating this from a cross-linguistics - influence perspective, differences between the languages could mean difficulties for Malay speakers to acquire features of English. The objectives of this study are to investigate Malay speakers’ pronunciation of the English language –ed allomorphs – [d], [t] and [ɪd]/[əd] – and the relationship between the morphophonological forms and two types of linguistic knowledge, one of which is implicit while the other is explicit. Data were collated from fifty participants who are social science undergraduates and English majors who speak English as a second language. Four instruments were used to gauge the respondents’ verbal use of –ed allomorphs as well as their implicit and explicit knowledge of the allomorphs. Results indicate that the students’ verbal usage of the target items either lacks approximation to Standard English pronunciation or is largely dropped altogether. Results also suggest a moderate relationship between implicit and explicit knowledge of the allomorphs and their verbal production by Malay speakers of English. The finding illuminates acquisition problem of English language speakers whose mother tongue does not share similar inflectional markers. Pedagogical solutions can help learners of the English language to approximate Standard English and in the long run, enhance effective communication and increase chances of employability.
EXPLORING THE LANGUAGE CHOICE OF THE NON-COMMERCIAL SIGNS IN JAKARTA
Authors: Silva Anna Marietta da
Published: September 2017

This article focuses on non-commercial signs in the linguistic landscape of Jakarta. Five main streets within or nearby the centroid of Jakarta are selected. The prevalence of English and the use of English words in the non-commercial signs are examined. The data cover 47 non-commercial signs which are investigated from the perspective of place semiotics. Despite their small number, this category of sign, mainly those that belong to the Regulatory discourse, holds a legal power. The presence of the non-commercial signs signifies the power of the state and communicates vertical and horizontal relationships between the authority and the audience. The findings suggest that the Infrastructural discourse is mostly available and Indonesian is the dominant language. English is present to a certain extent, particularly with regard to content related to technology and English prestigious status. Semantically, few English words had meaning extension when used in Indonesian context. The language choice of the non-commercial signs indicates the exclusiveness of Jakarta linguistic landscape.
WRITING INTRODUCTION SECTIONS OF RESEARCH ARTICLES IN APPLIED LINGUISTICS: CROSS-LINGUISTIC STUDY OF NATIVE AND NON-NATIVE WRITERS
Authors: Farnia Maryam , Barati Safoora
Published: September 2017

Genre studies allow researchers to observe the repeated communicative functions and their linguistic components in different genres (Brett, 1994). Writing the introduction section is a tough and burdensome task for both native and non-native speakers (Swales & Feak, 1994). Hence, the present study aimed to investigate the generic organization of English research article introductions written by native English and Iranian non-native speakers of English. A total of 160 published articles were selected from established journals in Applied Linguistics. Following Swales’ (2004) Create A Research Space (CARS) model, the researchers analyzed the articles for their specific generic patterns. Findings displayed that native English writers used significantly more strategies than Iranian non-native speakers of English, yielding richer texts. The findings of the present study contribute to the current knowledge of cross-cultural studies in academic writing to non-native English speakers in general and to non-native English novice writers in particular. Built on Swales’ (2004) CARS model, the study describes how introduction sections are developed in English by native and non-native speakers, offering insights into ESP/EAP writing pedagogy.

Published: September 2017

Introdução: O impacto da violência no desenvolvimento urbano tem merecido destaque. As consequências da exposição à violência mais especificamente aos homicídios e ao uso de drogas incluem alterações fisiológicas, neurológicas e de âmbito interpessoal. Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo verificar a prevalência de exposição à violência comunitária e identificar associações com exposição às drogas ilícitas e envolvimento com o crime. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo retrospectivo, com uma abordagem observacional e descritiva, a partir da análise de prontuários de condenados pela prática do homicídio, buscando tipificação do crime e informações sobre o uso de drogas ilícitas. Resultados: Dos 40 presos em fase de execução cujos prontuários foram analisados, todos eram do sexo masculino, com predomínio da faixa etária entre 21 a 40 anos (n=30, 75%). No que concerne ao grau de escolaridade 47,5% (n=19) não concluíram o ensino fundamental, 35,0% (n=14) eram analfabetos e 17,5% (n=7) apresentavam o ensino médio completo. Considerando a tipificação do crime observou-se que todos cometeram o homicídio na modalidade qualificada, quanto ao motivo, pela futilidade conforme disposto no artigo 121. Conclusão: Ao consumir algum tipo de droga ilícita o indivíduo, perde o controle emocional tendo diversos sintomas como alucinação, euforia e psicose que poderiam servir de motivação para a prática de delitos com requintes de crueldade.

Authors: Eugenio Samira Janis , Arena Ventura Carla Aparecida
Published: September 2017

A Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) foi criada com o intuito de reorganizar o conceito de Atenção Básica no país com base princípio fundamental da equidade, integralidade e universalidade. Objetivo: identificar melhorias na qualidade de vida da população após a implantação da Estratégia Saúde da Família como tática para garantir o direito à saúde. Métodos: Revisão crítica da literatura nas bases de dados PubMed, LILACS, Web of Knowledge e CINAHL. Foram selecionados 12 estudos realizados no Brasil, no período de 2006 a 2011. Resultados: Nos lugares em que ocorreu a implantação do PSF houve uma sensível melhora na qualidade de vida dos indivíduos assistidos, suas famílias e comunidades. Os dados indicam a efetividade das ações de promoção à saúde implementadas por toda a equipe, em seus vários ramos de atuação, demonstrando que a ESF busca assegurar o efetivo cumprimento do direito à saúde voltando-se para o indivíduo de forma integral, assistindo-o em seus diversos níveis de complexidade e em seu próprio contexto social familiar e cultural. Conclusão: A ESF é uma estratégia nova e ainda passa por grandes dificuldades, entretanto é grande a sua potencialidade como agente de transformação de realidade e sustentação dos direitos dos indivíduos e populações, dentre eles o direito à saúde.

Published: September 2017

O objetivo do estudo foi verificar a percepção dos dirigentes das Secretarias Municipais quanto às práticas e processos do monitoramento e avaliação no âmbito da gestão governamental. Metodologia: Foi aplicado questionário a dirigentes governamentais (secretários ou técnicos) de municípios com mais de 50 mil habitantes e que aderiram ao Pacto ela Saúde, obtendo-se 89 municípios. Resultados: Em que pese a maioria dos respondentes possuir os instrumentos de gestão e, fazer uso de sistemas de informação para subsidiar a tomada de decisão, podem ser consideradas como inadequadas ou insuficientes. Conclusão: Considerando-se as necessidades institucionais e os desafios a serem superados, é preciso fortalecer a organização de práticas que possibilitem a institucionalização do M&A no âmbito da gestão municipal.
Do acidente médico à responsabilidade civil médica no ordenamento jurídico da República Popular da China
Authors: Iong Man Teng
Published: September 2017

Objetivos: observar se o regime do erro médico previsto no Regulamento para o Tratamento de Acidentes Médicos perde ou não a sua utilidade prática a partir da entrada em vigor da Lei de Responsabilidade Civil da República Popular da China que prevê especificamente um regime da responsabilidade pelos danos causados por tratamentos médicos; segundo, ver se a constituição de acidente médico ainda é um pressuposto da responsabilidade civil médica prevista na lei citada; terceiro, ver se ambos os regimes, agora de diferentes diplomas legais, requerem os mesmos requisitos e se cada um destes tem o mesmo âmbito. Metodologia: executaram-se estudos bibliográficos e normativos que se relacionam com os dois regimes. Resultado e conclusão: o regime de acidente médico apenas perde a sua utilidade prática relativa à responsabilidade civil médica, mas ainda se mantém a sua utilidade prática de natureza administrativa. A constituição de acidente médico não é um pressuposto da responsabilidade civil médica prevista na nova lei. Os requisitos para ambos os regimes são o facto ilícito, negligência médica ou culpa, dano, nexo de causalidade e instituição médica e profissionais de saúde como sujeitos, mas alguns destes requisitos têm âmbito diferente, como nas partes relativas à ilicitue, à negligência médica ou culpa e ao dano.
Análise comparativa das políticas de assistência farmacêutica entre Brasil e Cuba: uma revisão integrativa
Authors: Paladini Sheyla Velasques , Rocha Cristianne Maria Famer , Petersen Leticia Lassen
Published: September 2017

Introdução: Brasil e Cuba têm sistemas universais de saúde, amplamente financiados e regulados pelo setor público. Este estudo tem como objetivo realizar uma comparação dos sistemas nacionais de saúde do Brasil e de Cuba, com foco nas respectivas Políticas de Assistência Farmacêutica. Metodologia: trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura. Resultados: foram encontrados 48 artigos Cubanos e 171 artigos Brasileiros. Após análise, foram selecionados 5 artigos cubanos sobre Políticas de Assistência Farmacêutica em Cuba, e 21 artigos brasileiros sobre Política de Assistência Farmacêutica no Brasil. Discussão: a despeito das diferenças (culturais, históricas, geográficas, etc.), ambos são países em desenvolvimento com sistemas nacionais de saúde que têm como propósito o acesso universal e gratuito; contudo, esses sistemas têm diferenças marcantes quanto a aspectos econômicos e de governança, as quais podem explicar os resultados superiores de Cuba em indicadores de saúde pública e qualidade de vida. Conclusão: em Cuba, os medicamentos são fornecidos pelo Estado; no Brasil, os medicamentos podem ser fornecidos diretamente, nos termos da respectiva Política Nacional de Medicamentos e da Política de Assistência Farmacêutica, ou adquiridos em farmácias particulares – nesse caso, eles podem ser subsidiados por programas como a Farmácia Popular. Dessa forma, o sistema brasileiro é mais complexo, o que o torna mais suscetível a falhas de governança e a falhas de mercado.

Estimating Discrete Parameters: An Application to Cointegration and Unit Roots
Authors: Kunst Robert M.
Published: September 2017

The problem of detecting unit roots in time series data is treated as a problem of multiple decisions instead of a testing problem, as is otherwise common in the econometric and statistical literature. The multiple decision design is based on a distinction between continuous primary and discrete secondary parameters. Four examples for such multiple decision designs are considered: first- and second-order integrated univariate processes; cointegration in a bivariate model; seasonal integration for semester data; seasonalintegration for quarterly data. In all cases, restricted optimum decision rules are established based on Monte Carlo simulation.
Imputation fehlender Werte im Labour Force Survey
Authors: Burg Thomas
Published: September 2017

Im Zuge eines Sonderprogramms zum Mikrozensus wurde im 1. Quartal 1995 erstmals eine Arbeitskräfteerhebung (LFS - Labour Force Survey) durchgeführt.Nachdem dieses Sonderprogramm auf freiwilliger Basis erhoben wurde, kam es einerseits zu Verweigerungen bezüglich des kompletten Sonderprogramms, sowie andererseits zu fehlenden Werten bei einzelnen Merkmalen. Um komplette Datensätze zu erhalten, wurde eine Methode entwickelt, die mittels einer auf soziodemographischen Merkmalen basierenden Distanzfunktion den "ähnlichsten" Spender (Donor) zu einem vorgegebenen Datensatz aufsucht und sämtliche fehlende Merkmale gleichzeitig imputiert.
Großzählungsdaten 1991 auf der Basis individueller räumlicher Gebietseinheiten
Authors: Wonka Erich
Published: September 2017

Die Großzählungsdaten (Volks-, Häuser- und Wohnungszählung sowie Arbeitsstättenzählung) des Österreichischen Statistischen Zentralamtes (ÖSTAT) werden für administrative Gebietseinheiten (z.B. Gemeinden) und Zählsprengel erstellt. Für viele räumliche Untersuchungen wäre eine Aufbereitung der statistischen Werte nach kleinräumigen Gebietseinheiten (z.B. Gitternetzen, Baublöcken) wünschenswert. Will manfür ausgewählte Gebiete statistische Daten der Großzählung unabhängig von den bereits vorgegebenen administrativen Gebietseinheiten in beliebiger Form regional zusammenfassen, ist dies nur über das Gebäuderegister des ÖSTAT möglich. Voraussetzung dabei ist, daß jedem adressierten Gebäude im Gebäuderegister eine Koordinate zugeordnet wird. Im ÖSTAT ist mit Unterstützung des Bundesamtes für Eich- und Vermessungswesen (BEV) geplant, die Gebäudekoordinaten der digitalen Katastralmappe in das Gebäuderegister zu übernehmen.
