Authors: Maricic Milena , Curuvija Radmila Amanovic , Stepovic Milos
Published: December 2018

The aim of the study is to assess the health literacy of women who are using health services within the Gynecology Obstetric Clinic “Narodni Front” in Belgrade. Testing of health literacy was conducted as a cross-sectional study in the period October-November 2012. As instruments of research the following questionnaires are used: Short Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults and General information questionnaire of respondents who referred to the demographic, social and economic characteristics of respondents, self-assessment of health, use of health services, health knowledge and behavior in the area of reproductive health. Inadequate health literacy level is registered in every ten respondents. The education level of the respondents proved to be a significant predictor of health literacy. Demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the patients (age, occupation, marital status) as well as self-evaluation of the health status were not significantly related to the health literacy. Health literacy respondents did not significantly dependent on risk behaviors related to reproductive health. The level of health literacy is consistent with the knowledge of subjects in the field of protection of reproductive health. Health literacy as the ability to function within the health care system is equally certain by individual characteristics and skills, characteristics of the health and education systems as well as a wide range of social and cultural factors. Health literacy is more systematic than individual problem, so it requires a broader social action.
Linguistic Diversity, Language Rights And Language Ecology
Authors: Skutnabb-Kangas Tove
Published: December 2018

Aiming at the maintenance of biodiversity and healthy ecosystem in the world – vital issues of the 21st century – it is important to preserve linguistic diversity and prevent the increasing language endangerment, thus ensuring the support of linguistic human rights. The author presents a comprehensive explanation of the key terms related to linguistic diversity and language ecology and investigates if educational language rights in international and regional Charters/Conventions support the maintenance of indigenous, tribal and minority languages (the world’s linguistic diversity), thus preventing language endangerment. The answer is that most educational systems in the word today support linguistic genocide in relation to indigenous, tribal and minority children’s language rights, by providing subtractive education as capability deprivation (according to Amartya Sen), which leads to poverty and violation of human rights in general. The author also argues why linguistic diversity and language rights are important for the maintenance of biodiversity and thus a healthy ecosystem.
Multimodal Metaphors and Advertising: A Cross-Cultural Comparison of the Use of Behavioural Multimodal Metaphors
Authors: Bonilla John Fredy Gil
Published: December 2018

The main purpose of this paper is to analyze how culture is embedded in the way viewers from different language backgrounds conceptualize and interpret the same multimodal metaphors. Therefore, interaction between metaphor and culture is hence a crucial aspect of research in this study. Following Lakoff and Johnson’s (1980) and Forceville’s (1996, 2009) approaches, this paper examines how a comparative study undertaken from a cross-cultural perspective can shed light on how culture is an influential factor that can trigger changes in interpretations and reactions in the viewers. Data for this research were gathered with the help of 240 participants taken from 8 different language backgrounds. The subjects of this study were supplied with a questionnaire which consisted of three multimodal metaphors and 8 questions. In particular, I want to focus on the following research questions: (1) Which figurative B-term do different cultures conceptualize in a multimodal metaphor? (2) How aggressive are these multimodal metaphors considered by the participants of the study? On the basis of the results of this research, it can be concluded that not only the cultural background but also the personal has some influence on the way respondents interpret multimodal metaphors. The reactions identified in the responses of the subjects are influenced by different factors: religion, personal and societal experiences, beliefs, etc.
Teaching Syrian Students in Turkish Schools: Experiences of Teachers
Authors: Yasar Muhammet Ruhat , Amac Zeynel
Published: December 2018

The Syrian civil war affected Turkey so much that approximately three and a half million Syrians live in Turkey. Ministry of Education implemented an inclusive approach to schooling of Syrian asylum-seekers’ children by educating them in public schools with their Turkish peers in the same classrooms in 2016 in order to address their educational needs, integration into the Turkish culture, and to prevent generation gap. Education, as a basic human right and as a way of integration into the Turkish society, is provided for free at all levels of education in Turkey. The inclusion of Syrian students in the Turkish school environment is quite a new experience for Turkish teachers and if the inclusion process is not managed properly, it may have negative effects on both students and their teachers. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore the experiences of teachers teaching Syrian students in the city of Kilis, where the number of asylum-seekers outnumbered the local population and almost one-fifth of the students in public schools are Syrians. The guiding question of this research was “What are the lived experiences of primary and middle school teachers educating Syrian children in culturally inclusive classrooms?” Five teachers from four different primary and middle schools were interviewed. The six open-ended interview questions allowed the participants to reflect on their experiences. The data were collected during the spring semester of 2017. The interviews were analyzed according to thematic methods. Three themes emerged: language barrier, lack of family support, and teachers’ lack of pedagogical skills to teach asylum-seeker students.
Desviación de poder y prevaricación administrativa: diferencias y entrecruzamientos
Authors: López Benítez Mariano
Published: December 2018

Aunque en materia de invalidez de los actos administrativos, nuestras Leyes de Procedimiento Administrativo parecen partir de la existencia de unas nítidas diferencias entre la desviación de poder y la prevaricación administrativa, lo cierto es que las páginas de la jurisprudencia contencioso-administrativa rezuman interferencias y entrecruzamientos muy notables entre ambas categorías.  En ocasiones, ello da lugar además a contradicciones muy patentes entre lo que declaran respectivamente las jurisdicciones penal y contencioso-administrativa. El propósito  de este artículo pretende dar noticia sobre este problema y esbozar algunas soluciones al respecto.

Pengoprasian Becak Motor (Bentor) di Wilayah Kota Gorontalo
Authors: Mudana I Ketut , Heriwibowo Dwi
Published: December 2018

Tujuan melakukan penelitian adalah untuk menyusun rekomendasi mengenai pengoperasian bentor dilihat dari aspek regulasi dan aspek keselamatan. Berdasarkan hasil analisis SWOT menunjukkan bahwa pengoperasian bentor dilihat dari aspek keselamatan masih kurang, kondisi tersebut menuntut upaya pemerintah daerah mensosialisasikan pengoperasian bentor agar lebih mengutamakan keselamatan. Bentor yang beroperasi di Kota Gorontalo cukup besar berjumlah 11.000 unt termasuk dari daerah lain. Di sisi lain angkutan umum perkotaan belum kuat sehingga bentor merupakan kebutuhan masyarakat Gorontalo. Beberapa kebijakan yang telah ditetapkan oleh pemerintah daerah provinsi maupun kota belum berjalan efektif karena muatan kebijakan mengatur bentor seperti angkutan resmi misalnya uji berkala. Bentor unggul dalam memberikan pelayanan door to door mampu menampung penumpang lebih dari satu orang, menyerap tenaga kerja, diminati pengguna jasa, beroperasi disemua jaringan jalan dan kelemahan bentor yaitu penumpang ditempatkan di depan pengemudi dan rem hanya satu rem belakang saja sedangkan bentor yang standar yaitu penumpang ditempatkan di belakang pengemudi dan rem roda depan dan roda belakang jadi setiap roda ada rem. Populasi bentor terus meningkat disebabkan oleh pelayanan angkutan umum belum optimal, kemudahan mendapatkan bentor dan keberadaan bentor diterima masyarakat.

Analisis Kebijakan Penyelenggaraan Angkutan Sekolah Di Kota Bandung
Authors: Pahlupiningtyas Selenia Ediyani , Pakpahan Dorkas
Published: December 2018

Komponen utama mobilitas penduduk perkotaan terdiri dari perjalanan dengan tujuan bekerja dan sekolah. perjalanan dengan tujuan bekerja di negara berkembang pada umumnya berkontribusi sebesar 40-50%, sedangkan perjalanan dengan tujuan sekolah sebesar 20-35%. Pertumbuhan jumlah kendaraan pribadi yang mengalami peningkatan yang dominan dibandingkan angkutan umum menunjukkan bahwa penyediaan angkutan umum perkotaan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan mobilitas penduduk masih jauh dari yang diharapkan baik dari sisi kapasitas maupun kualitas. Kegagalan pasar dalam penyediaan jasa angkutan umum yang dapat memenuhi kebutuhan mobilitas menyebabkan tingginya preferensi penggunaan kendaraan pribadi tidak terkecuali di kalangan pelajar (siswa SMU). Kecenderungan tersebut menimbulkan reaksi Pemerintah Kota Bandung untuk menerapkan kebijakan penyelenggaraan angkutan sekolah melalui Bus Sekolah gratis dan DAMRI gratis. Namun demikian respon dan antusias pelajar terutama siswa SMU masih dirasa kurang ditandai dengan sepinya penumpang bus sekolah. Selain itu, rute bus sekolah di Kota Bandung yang hanya terdiri dari 2 rute (Ledeng – Antapani dan Dago – Leuwipanjang) membuat distribusi layanan bus sekolah tidak merata. Hipotesa awal penelitian memperkirakan bahwa alternatif kebijakan DAMRI gratis merupakan program yang dapat menghasilkan dampak yang signifikan dalam mengurangi penggunaan kendaraan pribadi di kalangan siswa SMU berdasarkan tingkat efisiensi. Analisis menggunakan metode tabulasi silang menunjukkan preferensi responden (398 siswa SMU Negeri di Kota Bandung) lebih memilih kebijakan Bus Sekolah (79,9%) dibandingkan dengan DAMRI gratis. Preferensi tersebut memiliki keterkaitan dengan variabel karakteristik responden (jenis kelamin dan jarak rumah ke sekolah), serta variabel perilaku perjalanan yaitu pengetahuan terhadap adanya program Bus Sekolah.

Тувинский (нео)шаманизм как культовая и целительская практика в современном мире
Authors: Kharitonova Valentina I.
Published: December 2018

В статье на основе полевых и лабораторных материалов автора 2000–2018 гг., многочисленных публикаций в СМИ, зарисовок ТВ и видео-записей этого периода рассматривается современная культурно-религиозная ситуация в Республике Тыва и ее отголоски в разных странах мира. Анализируются аспекты культовой и целительской деятельности лиц, соотносящих свою практику с (нео)шаманизмом. Автор исследует трансформации и значимую модернизацию тувинского шаманизма в постсоветский период. Приводятся примеры особенностей практики отдельных тувинских (нео)шаманов и их учеников из иных российских регионов.В ситуации культурной глобализации наблюдается поток российских и западных туристов в Туву, которые стремятся к приобщению/посвящению в шаманы. Сюда едут и исследователи шаманизма. Тувинские (нео)шаманы, в свою очередь, выезжают в крупные города России и разные страны мира. Там они знакомят слушателей с тувинской сакральной культурой, жреческими ритуалами, целительскими и лечебными практиками. Обживая чужое пространство, (нео)шаманы даже сооружают там свои священные места — оваа, оставляя их для дальнейшего использования местным жителям.Трансформации современного «шаманизма» Тувы диктуются изменениями законодательства в отношении религий (шаманизм объявляется одной из традиционных религий Республики Тыва), социально-экономическими сложностями, проблемами в здравоохранении. Важными факторами в этом процессе выступают: национально-культурное возрождение, акцентирующее внимание на восстановлении обрядовой культуры и шаманства; интерес к определенным направлениям психологии, трансцендентному, эзотерике и возможности получения ранее запрещенных знаний и опыта. Меняется практика шаманизма, меняется контингент практикующих.
On the Pursuit of Good Living in Highland Ecuador: Critical Indigenous Discourses of Sumak Kawsay
Authors: Quick Joe , Spartz James T.
Published: December 2018

Sumak kawsay, a vision of good living originating in the thought of indigenous intellectuals, has attracted many commentators since its incorporation into Ecuador’s 2008 constitution. But it remains unclear in much of the secondary literature how the discourse of sumak kawsay and its Spanish derivative buen vivir relate to the day-to-day experiences of indigenous people. We address this lack of clarity through a three-part exploration of Kichwa perspectives on the good life. First, we describe how day-to-day discussions are more likely to revolve around the actually existing life of struggle. Then we analyze an artistic genre that illustrates how decolonized indigenous lives might look. Finally, we examine how the decolonial political philosophy of sumak kawsay has emerged out of concerted collective efforts to overcome the life of struggle. We consider how these three instances of discourse relate to a long Andean history of looking to the past for an alternative to the hardships of the present, and conclude with a call to take indigenous perspectives more fully into account when concepts such as sumak kawsay are invoked by nonindigenous actors.
The Return of International Finance and the Martínez de Hoz Plan in Argentina, 1976–1978
Authors: García Heras Raúl
Published: December 2018

This article is an effort to update a discussion of Argentina’s international financial relations during the late 1970s that is lagging behind recent scholarly developments on the cases of Mexico and Chile. It focuses on the early restoration of Argentine credit standing with multilateral financial institutions, as well as their loans and technical assistance, achieved by Minister Martínez de Hoz and his team during their early years in office. So far this stage had not elicited detailed analyses of its differences with the controversial and better-known monetary balance of payments approach adopted in December 1978 to finally curb inflation, and which gave international private bankers a leading role in the financing of Argentina’s foreign exchange needs.
Patriarchy, New Left Post-Neoliberalism, and the Valuing of Care Work: The Labor Conditions of Nicaraguan Nurses under Sandinismo’s “Second Stage”
Authors: Kowalchuk Lisa
Published: December 2018

This article examines how the labor conditions of nurses in Nicaragua have evolved through twenty-five years of health care policy and regime transition, focusing on the period since the return to power in 2007 of the Frente Sandinista de la Liberación Nacional (FSLN). I ask whether the deterioration in nurses’ work-related well-being that were imposed by neoliberal health care restructuring have been redressed by the FSLN. I connect findings from interviews and focus groups with over fifty nurses to long-standing patterns in the gendering of care work, as well as the Sandinista track record in exploiting these patterns. Also relevant is the FSLN’s mutual antagonism with feminist movements and its incremental but pronounced turn toward a regressive stance on gender equality. Finally, a steady drift toward authoritarianism by the FSLN government constrains the capacity for nurses to collectively assert their interests as workers and professionals.

Este artigo busca refletir sobre os processos da leitura, na medida em que a ludicidade implícita desta metodologia integra as dimensões afetivas, motoras e cognitivas, bem como, o fortalecimento da sensação de liberdade que o ato de ler produz ao criar certas impressões, imagens e possíveis atos de transformação. Reconhecemos que a inserção do lúdico através da leitura é essencial para o desenvolvimento da pessoa, uma vez praticada, é significativamente codificada pelo individuo, sem deixar de considerar o conhecimento e a leitura de mundo que cada leitor possui. Assim, a criação de espaços não imagináveis e sem limites para que as pessoas descubram o entusiasmo e prazer na leitura é fundamental. E, também, a utilização de estratégias para contação, pois proporciona a oportunidade dos sujeitos terem contato com registros impressos, livros, cenas, tiras, fotos de ilustração e etc. Uma vez que ao ouvirem uma história, é passível participar, de alguma forma, do processo de construção da linguagem e dos personagens inseridos no texto ao contexto de sua realidade, muitas vezes sentidas na memória e nas sensações do ser humano. Este estudo se apóia na análise do processo de aquisição e (re) construção do conhecimento de estudantes do curso de Pedagogia da Unicap, sendo este processo planejado ao longo das disciplinas de Alfabetização e Letramento; Currículo e Ensino da Língua Portuguesa I e II, ministradas no 3º (2015.1) e 4º (2015.2) período e, desenvolvido a partir de uma ação extensionista. Consideramos que a leitura, o conto, e a fantasia são essenciais na estimulação do desenvolvimento intelectual, pessoal e emocional, permitindo a reconstrução da maneira de pensar, de ver o outro, a si mesmo e o mundo.
O Problema da Substituição Salva Veritate em Russell e no Neo Russellianismo
Authors: Luna José Marcos Gomes de
Published: December 2018

Neste artigo defendo a teoria russelliana da crença como relação de múltipla aridade, frente à teoria da crença como relação dual, mantida pelos neo-russellianos, no tratamento das sentenças em contexto de crença. Para isto, procuro apresentar as soluções que Russell e os neo-russellianos, respectivamente, oferecem para o problema da substituição salva veritate de termos co-referenciais em sentenças de crença. Realço algumas dificuldades que os neo-russellianos parecem não dar conta por considerarem a crença uma relação dual, isto é, uma relação entre o sujeito e uma proposição, mas, também proponho a acolhida de algumas vantagens que eles oferecem para a abordagem do referido problema. E sustento a ideia de que é possível retomar a teoria da crença de Russell como, aliás, alguns já estão fazendo, e oferecer um russellianismo mais forte capaz de responder às dificuldades que o neo-russellianismo levanta.

Published: December 2018

The study proposes a framework for the moderating effect of environmental turbulence on the relationship between service marketing mix, market orientation and microfinance performance in Nigeria. However, there is scarcity of research that have considered the relationship between market orientation, service marketing mix and microfinance performance. most studies conducted on the direct relationship revealed inconsistencies. Due to the inconsistencies in the literature on this relationship, a moderating variable of environmental turbulence was proposed. The study will add to the literature on microfinance performance in a developing country like Nigeria which is relatedly unexplored.

Study of the temperature dependences of abnormal oil viscosity using rotational and vibrational viscometers
Authors: Nekuchaev V. O. , Mikheev M. M. , Mikheev D. M.
Published: December 2018

Principle of operation, advantages and disadvantages of the recently introduced a vibrational viscometer SV-10 are discussed. The results of measuring the viscosity of Newtonian and non-Newtonian oils on a HAAKE VT550 rotary viscometer are compared with that obtained on a vibratory viscometer in the temperature range wherein the non-Newtonian properties of oil appear and disappear. It is shown that when measuring the viscosity of Newtonian liquids, including light unstructured oils, in the temperature range where non-Newtonian properties are not manifested, the rotational and vibrational viscometers provide similar results regarding both the viscosity values and temperature dependence of the viscosity. However, when the oil temperature drops to the range of the abnormal properties, each value of the oil viscosity measured on SV-10 corresponds to the effective shear rate on the flow curve for a given temperature recorded on a rotational viscometer VT550 (the higher the viscosity, the smaller the effective shear rate). Hence, when studying the rheology of non-Newtonian structured liquids, e.g., high-paraffin oils, it is necessary to use rotational rheometers, which provide recording the entire flow curve and determining the viscosity values in transient and steady-state flow regimes. The vibration viscometer measures the viscosity of non-Newtonian structured media for some “effective” shear rate values, which are not set by the device and can be determined as a result of separate experiments with calibrated samples thus providing relative rather than absolute measurements of the viscosity. Recommendations for practical use of SV-10 vibrational viscometers are specified proceeding from the results of studying the rheological characteristics of oils obtained on both types of the viscometers.
Methodology of studying the mechanical properties of composite materials (reinforced concrete)
Authors: Eryshev V. A.
Published: December 2018

The mechanical properties of a complex composite material formed by steel and hardened concrete, are studied. A technique of operative quality control of new credible concrete and reinforcement, both in laboratory and field conditions is developed for determination of the strength and strain characteristics of materials, as well as cohesion forces determining their joint operation under load. The design of the mobile unit is presented. The unit provides a possibility of changing the direction of loading and testing the reinforced element of the given shape both for tension and compression. Moreover, the nomenclature of testing equipment and the number of molds for manufacturing concrete samples substantially decrease. Using the values of forcing resulting in concrete cracking when the joint work of concrete and reinforcement is disrupted the values of the inherent stresses and strains attributed to the concrete shrinkage are determined. An analytical relationship between the forces and deformations of the reinforced concrete sample with central reinforcement is derived for axial tension and compression, with allowance for strains and stresses in the reinforcement and concrete resulted from concrete shrinkage. The results of experimental studies are presented, including tension diagrams and diagrams of developing axial deformations with an increase in the load under the central loading of the reinforced elements. A methodology of accounting for stresses and deformations resulted from concrete shrinkage is developed. The applicability of the derived analytical relationships between stresses and deformations on the material diagrams to calculations of the reinforced concrete structures in the framework of the deformation model is estimated.

Introduction: drug abuse is a health problem that affects millions of people around the world. It could be defined as a concurrent condition in which the behavior has the goal of produce a pleasant sensation and reduce the discomfort produced by the interruption of the drug administration. The drug retirement produces cognitive alterations, particularly in memory and executive function. Those effects are due to the vulnerability of prefrontal cortex to the drug effects. Poly drug use is defined as the simultaneous intake, or separated in short time lapses, of several drugs. This kind of drug intake has been poorly studied in comparison to other addictions. Objective: to evaluate the effects of poly drug use in three groups of drug consumers evaluated with a neuropsychological battery. Method: thirty-six poly drug consumers were included and eleven non consumers integrated a control group (total sample: 47 subjects). Poly drug consumers were divided in three different groups depending on the kind of drugs consumed. All poly drug users were evaluated with the Neuropsychological battery “Neuropsi Atención y Memoria” and were compared against the performance of control group. Conclusion and discussion: neuropsychological affections were observed, particularly in verbal memory and evocation (both verbal and visuospatial) as well as in abstract attitude and inhibition (p < 0.05). We observed several relapses and readmissions in the rehabilitation center. The findings over inhibition and abstract attitude could explain the poor adhesion to treatment, alterations in everyday life and several relapses.

Introducción: las competencias socioemocionales integran conocimientos, actitudes y habilidades para el manejo de afectos, entablar relaciones interpersonales y tomar decisiones responsables, entre otros. El presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo estimar la capacidad explicativa de un modelo de competencias socioemocionales respecto al consumo de drogas en estudiantes de educación secundaria. Método: estudio ex post facto, con comparación de una muestra de 512 estudiantes distribuidos en dos grupos: usuarios y no usuarios de drogas alguna vez en la vida. Se aplicó un cuestionario que incluyó escalas de inadecuada regulación emocional, bajo control conductual, toma irreflexiva de decisiones, dificultad para el establecimiento de relaciones positivas con pares y para el ajuste escolar. Se analizaron diferencias de medias y se aplicó un modelo de regresión logística, incluyendo estas variables como predictores del uso de drogas. Resultados: se identificaron como predictores significativos del uso experimental de drogas, una inadecuada regulación emocional, un deficiente ajuste escolar y un bajo control conductual. Discusión: los hallazgos obtenidos corroboran la relación existente entre competencias socioemocionales deficitarias y uso de sustancias reportado en otros estudios y proporcionan una base empírica para el desarrollo de programas preventivos dirigidos al medio escolar.

Introducción: antes de empezar el tratamiento, es necesario conocer el patrón de consumo, determinar los antecedentes y las situaciones de riesgo que llevan al individuo a consumir en exceso, entre otras variables. Hasta el momento no se cuenta con un instrumento validado en México que mida las situaciones que precipitan el consumo de alcohol. Objetivo: validar el Inventario situacional de consumo de alcohol (ISCA) en población mexicana consumidora de esta sustancia. Método: se obtuvo una muestra de 592 (88.2% hombres, 11.8% mujeres), cuyas edades oscilaron entre los 18 y los 30 años de edad (M = 21.13, S.D. = 2.26), que solicitaron atención psicológica por problemas con su consumo de alcohol, de los cuales 66.2% reportó dependencia baja y 33.8%, dependencia moderada. Resultados: se realizó un análisis confirmatorio de máxima verosimilitud robusta, con el que se obtuvo un instrumento confiable (α = .96) y válido, con una varianza explicada del 59%. Discusión y conclusión: se obtuvo un instrumento válido, confiable y breve aplicable en intervenciones breves para usuarios que buscan tratamiento para consumo de alcohol.
Regression model accuracy comparison on mangrove canopy density mapping
Authors: Umarhadi Deha Agus , Muammar Akbar
Published: December 2018

Mangrove canopy density condition is often considered in the coastal environment management, so that the accurate data of spatial distribution of mangrove canopy density is needed. This condition need to be studied further related to methods in the mangrove canopy density mapping. However, did not much research compare the mapping accuracy about mangrove canopy density using vegetation index and the combination of statistical regression models, especially using Sentinel-2A satellite imagery. The purpose of this study is to compare the accuracy of mangrove canopy density mapping using NDVI, MSAVI, and MSARVI with simple linear, quadratic, logarithmic, and exponential regression applied to Sentinel-2A satellite imagery. Mangrove canopy density data resulted from a field survey at Jor and Kecebing Bay, East Lombok. The result of accuracy analysis presented NDVI was the best vegetation index in mapping compared MSAVI and MSARVI with an accuracy above 80 % (linear regression analysis of NDVI: 81.66 %, quadratic regression analysis of NDVI: 80.84 %, exponential regression analysis of NDVI: 80.71 %, logarithmic regression analysis of NDVI: 80.68 %). Mapping the mangrove canopy density through the combination of another vegetation index (MSAVI and MSARVI) with four regression models had accuracy of between 70 % to 80 %, except a mangrove canopy density mapping accuracy using quadratic regression between MSARVI and field data, only reached 62.78 %.
