The geolect of Pasvalys: a dialectometric approach to dialectal features
Authors: Čepaitienė Agnė
Published: June 2020

Using dialectometric methods and instruments, the article analyzes one of the new dialectal derivatives – the geolect of Pasvalys, located in the northern part of Eastern Aukštaitians of Panevėžys. The aim is to find the strong and weak dialectal features of this geolect and to identify its dominant dialectal variants.

10-hour recordings and 60 simple-structure sentences reflecting the primary, secondary and tertiary dialectal features have been analyzed in order to achieve the research aim. The recorded sentences were uttered by nine respondents of three generations: the oldest, the middle-aged and the youngest. The respondents live in the regions of Joniškėlis, Pasvalys and Daujėnai, which are interconnected by the strongest, closest, densest and the most complex socio-cultural networks.

The dialectal data, which includes the recorded sentences transcribed by IPA, was statistically calculated and quantified using the tools of the Gabmap software. The network pseudo map, reference point pseudo maps, cluster analysis pseudo maps and differential dialectal features were analyzed.

 

The quantitative data analysis has shown that the dialectal variant used in the regions of Joniškėlis, Pasvalys and possibly Daujėnai is affected by the processes of convergence. The most stable dialectal features are used in the region of Joniškėlis. They (as well as the forms of standard language) change or supplement the dialectal features of the subdialects of Pasvalys and Daujėnai spoken in the eastern part of the area of Eastern Aukštaitians of ​​Panevėžys (the direction of its spread is the eastern part of the area of ​​the subdialect) and form the basis of the dialectal features of Pasvalys geolect.

Both stable and changing primary, secondary and tertiary dialectal features were found in the speech of the respondents of all the three-generations. The change of dialectal features, or convergence, is the strongest in the youngest generation. It is similarly strong in the middle-aged and in the oldest generations. However, in the speech of young people, most of the primary dialectal features coexist with the secondary and tertiary ones.

Thus, the formation of Pasvalys geolect is based on the more stable (rather than changing) strong variant used in Joniškėlis, which is marked by a high degree of vitality.

In this paper, János Sziveri’s poetry is studied from the perspective of associative plays based on matter-grouping and landscape visions. There was a productive correspondence, as the poet himself underlined it, between him and Vasko Popa’s works. The consonance between the book plans and the cycles of poems by Vasko Popa dedicated to the decom- position and recomposition of different matters and remains and the series of Sziveri’s texts are secured by the stock of biological limitations and tactile sensations. The processes of focusing on different bodies and moving from body to body and the excess of neuro- transmission as well as the desire for gratification are most efficiently distributed by the singular or plural first person. The Vasko Popa-esque radiation of life conditions extending beyond instrumentalized functioning and existence based on imitation echoes in Sziveri’s landscape descriptions by intensifying the creative potential of fixed stance and mobility.

The antipoetics and the cyclical planning of the texts of the Serbian author with some Ro- manian ancestors in his family tree were properly cultivated and elevated by his Hungarian- speaking companion.

Francis Ponge’s art can be considered as their literary precursor. Almost anything that can be told about water, fauna, flora, and the natural cycle, about the sea, shells, snails, pebbles, bones, and oranges, is told in Le parti pris des choses (1942), Ponge’s prose-poem cycle, which prevailed in the works of the well-informed Vasko Popa and, through Popa, in Sziveri’s texts as well.

Sziveri’s criticism of targeting the patterns of social viability of South-Eastern Euro- pean repressive practices and collective false consciousness drowning in platitudes is ac- companied by topographic scenery and ethnic diversity which accumulated landscape sur- faces, fragments, and neighbourhoods framed by the Danube, Tisza, and Bega rivers as the scenes of geospecific identity. Comparing existential calculations, describing the shrinking of an ill body – these can be considered as a perceptual Pannonism of a subject observing and recording its direct impressions precisely and accurately.

Clinging onto the love of life, self-defence supplied by background knowledge about the countryside – as if all these were representing the escapist way of hiding, disguise, and diversion. Being doomed to live as an outcast, as a result of the status quo of regional co- existence officially prescribing homogeneity and of institutionalized incitement of feud, seems to be a dead certain conditioning of life. His attitude against any kind of quailing, his manner of shrugging off or making fun of regional fixed ideas and minority melodramas, bodily and linguistic ‘Babylonization’ coalesce into a polyphonic credo of a poet standing in the shade of wrecking and falling apart.
Архетипний образ вогню в лінгвопросторі українських паремій і замовлянь
Authors: Висоцький А. В. , Макарець Ю. С.
Published: June 2020

This paper deals with the linguocultural analysis of the semantic content of the archetypal symbol of fire. It is one of the deep mental formations, a manifestation of the collective subconscious, the generic memory, so its shades of meaning are best expressed in micro- contexts that retain stereotypical associations and evaluations for a certain ethnos as well as in the linguistic formulas of word magic, which is inherent in primitive consciousness.

Such are the texts of paroemias and verbal folk magic, on the basis of which the research is conducted. Although ancient Ukrainians knew the cult of fire and thought that it had a divine power, the analyzed linguistic microcontexts did not show the lingualization of deification of fire. Fire appears as an ambivalent element, destructive but simultaneously life-giving, with the predominance of negative marking. Fire mostly is opposed to water, which is also an ambivalent element but with a positive beginning. Ukrainian paroemiology predominantly testifies stereotypical associative similarity of fire and misfortune or trial, more rarely – of fire and strong destructive feelings or restless nature. Analyzed Ukrainian proverbs do not contain Christian understanding of fire, only ancient, pagan ideas about it. In verbal magic, fire is a part of homeopathic magic, an element that can scare off a dis- ease or burn it, that is, cure the like with the like. More rarely, fire is a part of love magic based on similarity of natural fire and the fire of feelings. Of particular interest in this con- text is the image of ‘fiery bugalo’ that burns, causing a love fever. This image is connected with the cult of the seductive serpent, a mythical creature that can install a ‘fire of love’ in the heart of a man, and appears to women as tempting young man.

The mediator of the idea of fire is also the word-concept ‘candle’. This symbol im- plements the semantics of faith and mind. In religious tradition, it becomes the emblem of the church and the spiritual light. Paroemiological units mostly attest to its use in combi- nation with the word-concept ‘devil’. Such microcontexts can be explained by the ability of people to pick up and summarize the paradoxical manifestations of everyday life. Ethno- graphic studies suggest that the semantics of sun and lightning also intersect with the sym- bolic meaning of fire, although this is not confirmed by the analyzed paroemological micro- contexts.

The cognitive basis of such symbolization are the mechanisms of associative assimila- tion and comparison through which the primeval people cognized and structured the world. The symbol of fire becoming the basis of paroemological and magical microcontexts is sometimes not lingualized directly and manifests itself through typical scenarios with pred- icates to smoke, to burn, to scorch, etc.
Dari Kesaksian Iman ke Simbiosis Agama: Meninjau Konsep Dialog Calvin E. Shenk Bagi Perjumpaan Islam-Kristen di Maluku
Authors: Parihala Yohanes , Sapteno Kristno
Published: June 2020

This study aims to analyse the thoughts of Calvin E. Shenk, a Christian missiologist, who criticized the concept of tripolar typology in the reality of religious pluralism, which was seen as reducing Christian faith. Calvin E. Shenk offers the idea of authentic dialogue, dialogue is as a form of witness of faith. However, Shenk's thoughts cannot simply be applied in the reality of encounters between Muslims and Christians in Maluku, which only emerged from the religious conflict of in 1999-2004. Both the analysis of Shenk's thoughts and the analysis of the context of religious presentation in Maluku, uses the approach of literature study in qualitative research methods. Finally, this study offers a dialogue paradigm in the context of interfaith relations in Maluku that embraces the uniqueness of each religion, including the praxis of the witness of faith, but does not neglect an important dimension that all religions need each other, and that is the symbiosis of religion.

El derecho de defensa en los procesos sobre delitos de abuso de menores
Authors: Cito Davide
Published: June 2020

Sobre la base de los principios esenciales del proceso en general y del proceso penal en particular, entre los que destacan el contradictorio procesal, la condición de tercero del órgano judicial y el derecho de defensa del acusado, se analiza la evolución normativa procesal relativa al delito de abuso de menores realizado por clérigos.

Teniendo en cuenta que se ha abandonado progresivamente o al menos se ha reducido considerablemente la vía judicial, inicialmente prevista como la única posible para juzgar estos delitos reservados a la competencia exclusiva de la Congregación para la Doctrina de la Fe, en favor del procedimiento extrajudicial, mediante la llamada “administrativización” del proceso penal, con graves riesgos para el efectivo ejercicio del derecho de defensa, se han ido incorporando en el procedimiento extrajudicial a través de la praxis de la Congregación elementos propios del proceso judicial, hasta el punto de interrogarse si no se está avanzando en la dirección de judicializar el procedimiento administrativo y si esto no requeriría la promulgación de nuevas normas, de manera análoga a como se ha hecho para los procesos matrimoniales.

Published: June 2020

Abstract Objective : To evaluate functional dependence among older adults receiving care from Family Health Strategy (FHS) teams, in Montes Claros, Minas Gerais, Brazil, identifying associated factors. Methods : A cross-sectional and analytical study with randomly selected older adults was performed. The instrument used was BOMFAQ (the Brazilian Older Americans Resources and Services Multidimensional Functional Assessment Questionnaire). Data collection was performed by trained staff in the homes of the older adults. Sociodemographic, economic data, living habits, health care, morbidities and Activities of Daily Living (ADL) were evaluated. In addition to descriptive analysis, factors associated with functional dependence were identified using the chi-square test, followed by hierarchical multiple analysis using Poisson regression with robust variance. Results : 1,750 older adults were evaluated. The group was predominantly female, with low schooling. The proportion of the sample considered dependent was 57.0%. The variables associated with functional dependence were: female gender (PR=1.19); age ≥70 years (PR=1.33); schooling ≤4 years (PR=1.19); being unemployed (PR=1.43); not performing physical activity (PR=1.19) or walking (PR=1.15); not listening to the radio as a leisure activity (PR=1.13); not having the habit of reading (PR=1.17); presenting depressive symptoms (PR=1.15); hospitalization in the last six months (PR=1.18); cognitive impairment (PR=1.16); insomnia (PR=1.13); obesity (PR=1.18); falls in the last year (PR=1.11); cataracts (PR=1.09), spinal problems (PR=1.19); urinary incontinence (PR=1.25); poor circulation (PR=1.09) and a negative self-perception of health (PR=1.22). Conclusion : Functional dependence is multifactorial, but is influenced mainly by the health conditions of older adults.

Authors: Matos Johnata da Cruz , Guimarães Silvia Maria Ferreira
Published: June 2020

Abstract Objective : To identify the perception of nurses regarding spiritual care for older patients undergoing palliative care. Methods : A descriptive study with a qualitative approach was carried out with 27 care nurses at the Hospital Universitário de Brasília, Brazil, in 2018. The interviews were conducted through a semi-structured script and submitted to content analysis. The discourse structuring for the collective subject technique was applied. Results : Five discourses of the collective subject were constructed and grouped into two categories entitled Spiritual Care Provided By Nurses, and Favorable and Unfavorable Factors For the Provision of Spiritual Care For Older Patients. From the central nuclei contained in the reports, the respondents considered spiritual care and family participation in palliative care important. However, they mainly attributed the role of intervening in spirituality to religious volunteers and the family. Conclusion : The study shows that despite the difficulties in providing spiritual care, family support, moments of listening and the carrying out of activities that motivate inner peace are significant for an improved response to the spirituality of older patients.

Published: June 2020

ABSTRACT Purpose: to characterize the language and neuropsychomotor development of children referred for speech-language-hearing and physical therapy at an Extended Family Health Care Center (NASF) in Paranaguá, Paraná, Brazil. Methods: 36 children aged 3 to 13 (7.9 ± 2.3) years were assessed through anamnesis, speech-language-hearing assessment with a flipchart, and motor development scale (MDS). The analysis was made with the two-tailed Pearson correlation test. Results: 69% had no initial clinical diagnosis; 83% were referred by their school, due to suspected language difficulties (92%), which were confirmed. Children both at risk and with psychomotor delays represented 69% of the sample; 78% of the children had learning difficulties and overall motor age 16 months below their chronological age, on average. The psychomotor areas with the worst scores for motor age and motor quotient were temporal organization, body scheme, and spatial organization. School difficulties were related to delays in motor age (p = 0.03), MDS psychomotor profile classification (p = 0.01), overall motor quotient (p = 0.04), and psychomotor diagnosis (p = 0.001). Conclusion: it is concluded that children both at risk and with psychomotor delays pose a great demand. Most of them present language delays, and have difficulties in other areas as well, confirming the need for health professionals’ multi- and interdisciplinary actions. NASF is an option for promoting follow-up and intervention.

Published: June 2020

RESUMO O Pampa representa um dos domínios fitogeográficos de maior riqueza florística da América do Sul; no entanto, principalmente ao que refere às samambaias e licófitas, ainda é muito pouco conhecido. O presente estudo tem como objetivos listar as espécies de samambaias e licófitas associadas aos cerros do Tigre e Palomas e discutir os aspectos florísticos que modelam a flora de samambaias e licófitas nas formações isoladas (Cerros) do domínio do Pampa. As amostras foram coletadas e herborizadas por meio das técnicas usuais, e identificadas com auxílio de literatura específica. Espécimes de herbários também foram analisados a fim de complementar a lista florística. As espécies foram classificadas quanto seu padrão de distribuição geográfica e quanto sua forma de vida e crescimento. O inventário resultou em 36 espécies, sendo quatro licófitas e 32 samambaias, distribuídas em 11 famílias e 19 gêneros. Ao todo, 18 espécies foram exclusivas ao Cerro do Tigre, cinco ao Cerro Palomas e 13 ocorreram em ambas as áreas. A maior parte das espécies tem ampla distribuição na América do Sul (41,02%) e América Tropical (35,89%), e não foram identificadas espécies endêmicas ao domínio pampeano. A forma de vida predominante foi hemicriptófito e a forma de crescimento, o rosulado foi a mais frequente. De forma geral as espécies ocorrentes na área de estudo apresentaram adaptações às condições xerofíticas. Nossos resultados mostraram haver alta riqueza de espécies nas áreas estudadas em relação ao citado para o domínio, e que os Cerros servem como refúgios para manutenção da flora de samambaias e licófitas na região.

Published: June 2020

La pandemia COVID-19 desafía los sistemas de salud de Latinoamérica, que podrían beneficiarse de información para tomar decisiones apropiadas, en contextos de escasez de recursos sanitarios.Objetivo: evaluar, en pacientes adultos con sospecha de formas clínicas leves de COVID-19, la efectividad clínica (expectativa de vida) y el consumo de recursos (días de hospitalización) de distintas estrategias de manejo. Métodos: árbol de decisión estocástico, comparando la estrategia convencional recomendada por OMS - OPS (prueba diagnóstica para COVID-19 y hospitalización ante resultado positivo) versus dos estrategias alternativas (agregado inmediato de una prueba pronóstica con hospitalización según ese resultado, y seguimiento con hospitalización sólo ante empeoramiento clínico). Resultados: las estrategias de manejo alternativas mostraron utilidad clínica esperada similar a la estrategia convencional en casos base de 80 años de edad, y ligeramente inferior en casos base de 60 años y 40 años de edad, con menor consumo de días de hospitalización. En el análisis de sensibilidad, las estrategias alternativas mejoraron comparativamente su utilidad clínica esperada si la sensibilidad de la prueba diagnóstica fuera menor o la capacidad del seguimiento para detectar empeoramiento clínico fuera mayor. Conclusiones: ante casos sospechosos de COVID-19 sin infiltrado neumónico ni signos de gravedad, pueden considerarse estrategias que eviten la hospitalización de la mayoría de los pacientes, en especial si pueden implementarse modalidades de seguimiento eficientes. Esta información es valiosa para los decisores en salud, para analizar ponderadamente elementos clínicos y epidemiológicos y diseñar estrategias factibles localmente.

O objetivo deste estudo foi medir a ocorrência de multimorbidade e estimar o número de indivíduos na população brasileira com 50 anos ou mais em risco para COVID-19 grave. Estudo transversal utilizando dados da linha de base do Estudo Longitudinal da Saúde dos Idosos Brasileiros (ELSI), conduzido em 2015–2016, com 9.412 indivíduos com 50 anos ou mais. O desfecho do estudo foi a ocorrência de multimorbidade baseando-se em uma lista de 17 morbidades consideradas de risco para COVID-19 grave e operacionalizado de duas formas: ≥1 e ≥2 condições. Avaliou-se a gravidade da situação de saúde por meio da autoavaliação do estado de saúde, fragilidade e Atividades Básicas da Vida Diária. As análises incluíram cálculo de prevalência e número absoluto estimado de pessoas na população. Sexo, idade, região geopolítica e escolaridade foram utilizadas como covariáveis. Cerca de 80% (≈34 milhões) dos indivíduos apresentaram pelo menos alguma das morbidades avaliadas; multimorbidade esteve presente em metade da população em estudo (52,0%) sendo, percentualmente, maior nas regiões Centro-Oeste, Sudeste e Sul. Doenças cardiovasculares e obesidade foram as condições mais frequentes. Indivíduos considerados com situação grave de saúde com morbidades representaram >6% da população em estudo (≈2,4 milhões) com desigualdades segundo escolaridade. O número de pessoas em envelhecimento no Brasil que apresentam morbidades de risco para COVID-19 grave é alto, em termos relativos e absolutos. Essa mensuração pode ser útil para planejar as estratégias de enfrentamento do novo coronavírus em diferentes etapas da pandemia.
Effective Decoding in Graph Auto-Encoder Using Triadic Closure
Authors: Shi Han , Fan Haozheng , Kwok James T.
Published: June 2020

The (variational) graph auto-encoder and its variants have been popularly used for representation learning on graph-structured data. While the encoder is often a powerful graph convolutional network, the decoder reconstructs the graph structure by only considering two nodes at a time, thus ignoring possible interactions among edges. On the other hand, structured prediction, which considers the whole graph simultaneously, is computationally expensive. In this paper, we utilize the well-known triadic closure property which is exhibited in many real-world networks. We propose the triad decoder, which considers and predicts the three edges involved in a local triad together. The triad decoder can be readily used in any graph-based auto-encoder. In particular, we incorporate this to the (variational) graph auto-encoder. Experiments on link prediction, node clustering and graph generation show that the use of triads leads to more accurate prediction, clustering and better preservation of the graph characteristics.
Continuous Multiagent Control Using Collective Behavior Entropy for Large-Scale Home Energy Management
Authors: Sun Jianwen , Zheng Yan , Hao Jianye , Meng Zhaopeng , Liu Yang
Published: June 2020

With the increasing popularity of electric vehicles, distributed energy generation and storage facilities in smart grid systems, an efficient Demand-Side Management (DSM) is urgent for energy savings and peak loads reduction. Traditional DSM works focusing on optimizing the energy activities for a single household can not scale up to large-scale home energy management problems. Multi-agent Deep Reinforcement Learning (MA-DRL) shows a potential way to solve the problem of scalability, where modern homes interact together to reduce energy consumers consumption while striking a balance between energy cost and peak loads reduction. However, it is difficult to solve such an environment with the non-stationarity, and existing MA-DRL approaches cannot effectively give incentives for expected group behavior. In this paper, we propose a collective MA-DRL algorithm with continuous action space to provide fine-grained control on a large scale microgrid. To mitigate the non-stationarity of the microgrid environment, a novel predictive model is proposed to measure the collective market behavior. Besides, a collective behavior entropy is introduced to reduce the high peak loads incurred by the collective behaviors of all householders in the smart grid. Empirical results show that our approach significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art methods regarding power cost reduction and daily peak loads optimization.
OMuLeT: Online Multi-Lead Time Location Prediction for Hurricane Trajectory Forecasting
Authors: Wang Ding , Liu Boyang , Tan Pang-Ning , Luo Lifeng
Published: June 2020

Hurricanes are powerful tropical cyclones with sustained wind speeds ranging from at least 74 mph (for category 1 storms) to more than 157 mph (for category 5 storms). Accurate prediction of the storm tracks is essential for hurricane preparedness and mitigation of storm impacts. In this paper, we cast the hurricane trajectory forecasting task as an online multi-lead time location prediction problem and present a framework called OMuLeT to improve path prediction by combining the 6-hourly and 12-hourly forecasts generated from an ensemble of dynamical (physical) hurricane models. OMuLeT employs an online learning with restart strategy to incrementally update the weights of the ensemble model combination as new observation data become available. It can also handle the varying dynamical models available for predicting the trajectories of different hurricanes. Experimental results using the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific hurricane data showed that OMuLeT significantly outperforms various baseline methods, including the official forecasts produced by the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC), by more than 10% in terms of its 48-hour lead time forecasts.
Hiding in Multilayer Networks
Authors: Waniek Marcin , Michalak Tomasz , Rahwan Talal
Published: June 2020

Multilayer networks allow for modeling complex relationships, where individuals are embedded in multiple social networks at the same time. Given the ubiquity of such relationships, these networks have been increasingly gaining attention in the literature. This paper presents the first analysis of the robustness of centrality measures against strategic manipulation in multilayer networks. More specifically, we consider an “evader” who strategically chooses which connections to form in a multilayer network in order to obtain a low centrality-based ranking—thereby reducing the chance of being highlighted as a key figure in the network—while ensuring that she remains connected to a certain group of people. We prove that determining an optimal way to “hide” is NP-complete and hard to approximate for most centrality measures considered in our study. Moreover, we empirically evaluate a number of heuristics that the evader can use. Our results suggest that the centrality measures that are functions of the entire network topology are more robust to such a strategic evader than their counterparts which consider each layer separately.
Generating Adversarial Examples for Holding Robustness of Source Code Processing Models

Published: June 2020

Automated processing, analysis, and generation of source code are among the key activities in software and system lifecycle. To this end, while deep learning (DL) exhibits a certain level of capability in handling these tasks, the current state-of-the-art DL models still suffer from non-robust issues and can be easily fooled by adversarial attacks.Different from adversarial attacks for image, audio, and natural languages, the structured nature of programming languages brings new challenges. In this paper, we propose a Metropolis-Hastings sampling-based identifier renaming technique, named \fullmethod (\method), which generates adversarial examples for DL models specialized for source code processing. Our in-depth evaluation on a functionality classification benchmark demonstrates the effectiveness of \method in generating adversarial examples of source code. The higher robustness and performance enhanced through our adversarial training with \method further confirms the usefulness of DL models-based method for future fully automated source code processing.
Index Tracking with Cardinality Constraints: A Stochastic Neural Networks Approach
Authors: Zheng Yu , Chen Bowei , Hospedales Timothy M. , Yang Yongxin
Published: June 2020

Partial (replication) index tracking is a popular passive investment strategy. It aims to replicate the performance of a given index by constructing a tracking portfolio which contains some constituents of the index. The tracking error optimisation is quadratic and NP-hard when taking the ℓ0 constraint into account so it is usually solved by heuristic methods such as evolutionary algorithms. This paper introduces a simple, efficient and scalable connectionist model as an alternative. We propose a novel reparametrisation method and then solve the optimisation problem with stochastic neural networks. The proposed approach is examined with S&P 500 index data for more than 10 years and compared with widely used index tracking approaches such as forward and backward selection and the largest market capitalisation methods. The empirical results show our model achieves excellent performance. Compared with the benchmarked models, our model has the lowest tracking error, across a range of portfolio sizes. Meanwhile it offers comparable performance to the others on secondary criteria such as volatility, Sharpe ratio and maximum drawdown.
An intelligent alternating current-optimal power flow for reduction of pollutant gases with incorporation of variable generation resources
Authors: Lalljith Sumant , Swanson Andrew G. , Goudarzi Arman
Published: June 2020

Frequent escalations in fuel costs, environmental concerns, and the depletion of non-renewable fuel reserves have driven the power industry to significant utilisation of renewable energy resources. These resources cannot satisfy the entire system load demand because of the intermittent nature of variable generation resources (VGRs) such as wind and solar. Therefore, there is a need to optimally schedule the generating units (thermal and VGRs) to reduce the amount of fuel used and the level of emissions produced. In this study, an AC-power flow in conjunction with combined economic and environmental dispatch approach through the implementation of a modified constricted coefficient particle swarm optimisation was used to minimise the fuel cost and the level of emission gases produced. The approach was applied to the Institute of Electric and Electronic Engineers 30 bus test system through three different load conditions: base-load, increase-load and critical-load. The results showed the practicality of the proposed approach for the simultaneous reduction of the total generation cost and emission levels on a large electrical power grid while maintaining all the physical and operational constraints of the system.

Bu çalışmada taşımalı eğitim uygulamasında ailelerin eğitim sürecine katılımını değerlendirmek; yaşanan sorunları öğretmen, aile görüşleriyle tespit etmek ve taşımalı eğitim uygulamasının etkililiğinin artması için gerekli önerilerde bulunmak amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın amacına yönelik katılımcıların deneyimleri onların açıklamalarıyla anlaşılmak istendiğinden fenomenoloji deseni tercih edilmiştir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu benzeşik örnekleme yöntemi ile seçilen; aile ile katılımı konusunda en çok girişimde bulunan 8 öğretmen ve en az katılım gösteren 7 veli (15 katılımcı) oluşturmaktadır. Odak grup görüşmeleri yoluyla benzeşik gruplardan etkili bir biçimde verilerin toplanması hedeflenmiştir. Veriler araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formuyla toplanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler tematik analiz ile çözümlenmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre ulaşım zorluğu hem öğretmenlerin hem de velilerin aile katılımı konusundaki en büyük problemidir. Bunun yanında öğretmenlere göre aileler katılım konusunda duyarsız, iletişime kapalı ve iş birliğinden uzaktırlar. Aileler katılım etkinlikleri konusunda sınırlı bilgiye sahiptirler. Aileler katılımın yetersizliğini ayrıca, ekonomik sebepler, işten izin alamama ve katılıma yönelik yönerge eksikliğine bağlamaktadırlar.

Запрет на осуществление судебного представительства: проблемы правового регулирования и особенности практики применения
Authors: Зайков Денис Евгеньевич
Published: June 2020

Судебное представительство является важнейшим институтом процессуальных отраслей права, представляя собой механизм реализации конституционного права на судебную защиту. Вместе с тем, в целях обеспечения процессуальных принципов равноправия сторон, независимости суда и состязательности законодательство устанавливает запреты на осуществление судебного представительства отдельными субъектами, которые обладают правовым статусом, позволяющим оказывать влияние на суд, рассматривающий дело, или использовать его вопреки интересам доверителя. В статье автор рассматривает особенности правового регулирования запретов на осуществление судебного представительства, дает их классификацию, выявляет проблемы применения в судебной практике и предлагает пути их разрешения.
Citrate Buffer v1
Authors: Junior Neilier
Published: June 2020

A buffer solution has the function of resisting changes in pH even when adding powerful acids or bases. However, in the physiological environment the buffered system also provides cofactors for enzymatic reactions, critical salts and even essential nutrients for cells and tissues. Therefore, when trying to reproduce biological conditions in vitro, we must make the appropriate choice of the buffer. After all, it will provide the appropriate medium in which reactions will occur.

Gender-preferential language use in L1 and L2 argumentative essays? Evidence against lists of ‘gendered’ language features
Authors: Ningrum Sulistya , Crosthwaite Peter
Published: June 2020

This study identifies and compares the gender-preferential language features present in the argumentative writing of L1 Indonesian and Indonesian L2 English learners. The data is comprised of 80 English argumentative essays sampled from the International Corpus Network of Asian Learners of English (ICNALE, Ishikawa, 2011) and a comparative corpus of 80 L1 Indonesian argumentative essays collected online from Indonesian university students, both equally divided by gender. Comparison of the data was performed through quantitative analysis of three supposed ‘male-preferential’ features and seventeen ‘female-preferential’ features between the male- and female-produced corpora in L1 and L2 writing. This study investigated (1) the extent of variation in the use of ‘gendered language features’ between male and female-produced L1 and L2 texts; (2) whether the use of male/female ‘gendered-language features’ across male/female produced L1/L2 texts match their suggested gender preference, and (3) to what extent L1’s preference for ‘gender language features’ affects male and female learners’ use of such language in L2. The results suggest the majority of supposed gender-preferential features were not significantly different across male/female produced texts, indicating that argumentative essays may be gender-neutral to a certain extent. This study also revealed that L1 preference of gendered language forms does not determine their preferences in the L2. In conclusion, male and female students adopt similar linguistic features to express their arguments. We may claim that gender language forms are not fixed and absolute in academic discourse because instructive texts tend to have a set model to fulfil the pedagogical criteria.

Authors: Pratama Agung , Imanudin Iman
Published: June 2020

VO2Max merupakan indikator dari kemampuan daya tahan aerobik seseorang, sebagai seorang pemain sepak bola diharuskan memiliki kemampuan VO2Max yang baik agar bisa bergerak secara terus menerus selama 90 bahkan 120 menit waktu pertandingan. Karena pemain dituntut untuk bisa terus bergerak selama pertandingan, baik itu berjalan, berlari, dan sprint untuk mengejar bola. Oleh karena itu, kemampuan daya tahan aerobik seorang pemain akan mempengaruhi kemampuannya bergerak selama pertandingan. Maka daripada itu salah satu faktor penting untuk menjadi seorang pemain sepak bola adalah VO2Max. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui hubungan antara Aerobic Capacity (VO2Max) dengan kemampuan daya jelajah pemain. Alasan penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui tingkat kemampuan VO2Max dan kemampuan daya jelajah pemain pada anggota unit kegiatan mahasiswa sepak bola Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI). Metode penelitian yang digunakan metode deskriptif korelasi. Sampel penelitian ini terdiri dari 10 orang pemain dengan pemilihan sampel menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Instrument yang digunakan yaitu bleep test dan Tes kemampuan daya jelajah menggunakan Polar RC3.  Hasil data dari penelitian ini terdapat hubungan positif yang signifikan atau nilai korelasi sangat tinggi hal itu dapat dilihat dari nilai pearson korelasi = 0.972 dan nilai sig p=0.0000.05. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa semakin tinggi nilai aerobic capacity (VO2Max) maka semakin tinggi kemampuan daya jelajah pemain.
