Authors: Adi Kasuma Shaidatul Akma
Published: June 2018

This study investigates university students’ perceptions of using Facebook for English language learning based on gender and ethnicity. A survey was used for data collection, in which all 622 participants reported to having at least one Facebook account which they frequently accessed multiple times a day. The findings show that the students possessed positive attitudes, motivation, self-confidence in using Facebook to learn English language. They also reported to have acquired new English words and sentence structures from their engagement with Facebook. In terms of gender and ethnicity, it is the female students, and Indian respondents who illustrated highly positive perceptions of English language acquisition, motivation, attitudes, and self-confidence, when engaging with Facebook. The awareness of these differences may assist the creation of more suitable learning strategies especially with the integration of Facebook and other social media. Keywords: Facebook, English language learning, gender, ethnicity, attitudes, motivation, self-confidence, acquisitionCite as: Kasuma, S.A.A.

Published: June 2018

This Article explores the involvement of the Malay Rulers in institutionalizing the Constitution of the Federation of Malaya 1957. It aims to examine the validity of the popular statement that claims the Federal Constitution is the end-result of a social contract negotiated among the multi-ethnic society championed by the elite nationalists in Malaya. It further examines the allegation that the sovereignty of the Malay Rulers and the power of the state governments had been retained by the British due to the demand fought by the above group. This qualitative research uses primary sources collected from the historical records and presented in legal history design. The findings show that the Malay Rulers are the supreme authority in institutionalizing the Constitution of the Federation of Malaya 1957 upon consultation with the Constitution Working Committee for the establishment of a single independent self-governing unit for a Federation. It concludes that the legitimacy of the Constitution of the Federation of Malaya 1957 originates from the sovereignty of the Malaccan Sultanate, its local conditions have been entrenced in the fundamental provisions of the said Constituton, and they are stil preserved to date.  Keywords: Institutionalization, sovereignty, legacy, independance, social contract.Cite as: Wan Hussain, W.A.F., Che Ngah, A., Anwar, Od.

WHY AND HOW UNIVERSITY STUDENTS APOLOGIZE TO THEIR LECTURERS: THE CASE OF UNIVERSITY OF FOREIGN LANGUAGE STUDIES, VIETNAM
Authors: Hien Trang Ngo Thi
Published: June 2018

Apology plays an important role in maintaining social relationships. This paper aims to examine apology strategies employed by students of University of Foreign Language Studies, Vietnam when apologizing to their English language lecturers. A total of 300 students completed the questionnaires which seek to explore their engagement in apology. Among the 300 respondents who completed the questionnaires, 100 students admitted that they wrote apology emails in English to their lecturers at least once during the last three academic semesters. The emails were also analysed to closely examine the apology utterances. Quantitative and qualitative methodologies were employed to analyze the apology utterances and questionnaire data, focusing on the reasons why the students apologized, and the strategies employed in seeking the apology. Data analysis reveals that the students apologized mainly for cheating in exams, being late for classes, showing disrespect to the lecturers and being absent from classes. In terms of apology strategies, the students mostly employed the strategies of Illocutionary Force Indicating Device (expression of the apology), Promise of forbearance and Accounts (telling what has happened). The students tended to use email when apologizing for serious offences and they preferred to meet the lecturers face-to-face for the less serious ones.Keywords: Apology strategy, email, lecturers, students, VietnamCite as: Trang, N.T.H.

Can urban environmental problems be overcome? The case of Skopje–world’s most polluted city
Authors: Arsovski Slobodan , Kwiatkowski Michał , Lewandowska Aleksandra , Peshevska Dimitrinka Jordanova , Sofeska Emilija , Dymitrow Mirek
Published: June 2018

The condition of the environment is one of the most fundamental concerns of cities worldwide, especially when high levels of pollution and environmental destruction exert immense impact on people’s quality of life. This paper focuses on Skopje, the capital of Macedonia, which often tops the charts as the world’s most polluted city. Despite associated problems such as congestion, ill health, and premature death, Macedonia’s scarce resources are instead spent on controversial projects, such as ‘Skopje 2014’, involving creating a national identity through massive and extremely costly constructions of neo-classical government buildings, museums and monuments. The aim of this paper is to compare the situation of Skopje to environmentally oriented activities conducted in several Polish cities and to discuss the possibility of their implementation in Skopje. Considering the scale and scope of Skopje’s environmental problems, the paper offers some priorities for action, including solutions that emphasize institution building, technical input and self-governance. It also highlights a number of economic, ecological, and socio-cultural contradictions involved in the process of achieving sustainable development.

Authors: Suleiman Shaaban Mwinchum , Hamad Abdalla Ussi , Sulaiman Mashitah Bt
Published: June 2018

In Zanzibar, the status of SOEs is not as satisfactory as other countries. There has been a countrywide outcry on the performance of SOEs. The purpose of this study therefore, was to examine the governance and management of SOEs, highlight some benefits and challenges as well as propose a model for effective performance. Following the reviews of various literature and government documents, the study on hand has found that the governance of SOEs needs close revision regarding their management structure as there are roles conflicts between the top bureaucrats; the study also found that absence of SOEs policy has been a major bottleneck for the SOEs to perform at a reasonable level as no proper guidelines which direct the SOEs where to go and what to achieve in a specific time period. Furthermore, the study has found that the overstaffing of SOEs in one way or another puts pressure to the management to attain its intended goals resulting to low contribution in the country’s economy. The study recommends that SOEs need to be creative and innovative in their undertakings as they have to undertake diversification of their products in order to attract foreign markets significantly. It is also suggested that proper SOEs policy needs to be made in order to give proper directions to the SOEs so that the goal and objectives of their setup can be successfully attained.
Entrepreneurial Innovation: the European Union perspective
Authors: Ignatov Augustin
Published: June 2018

Entrepreneurship is the driving force of economic development and progress. A successful state, first of all, provides favourable conditions motivating the businesses to grow and flourish. Presently, the European Union is developing unevenly with multiple economic misbalances across the community, the West and the North being more competitive than the South and the East. The aim of the present research is to examine the framework of interdependence between the degree to which the governance quality and economic freedom in the European Union are supporting entrepreneurial activities and the performance of the community in terms of entrepreneurial innovation. The results reached through applying both qualitative and quantitative analyses show that the interdependence between entrepreneurial innovation and regulatory efficiency is strong for many of the European Union states which is determined by multiple factors including the institutional and economic ones. Also, the present paper underlines the importance of the proper regulatory framework for the efficient development of business innovation. The future research on this matter could consider in depth the impact of socio-cultural environment, its influence on the quality of governance and the impact of both upon the European entrepreneurial innovation.
R&D Investments, EPO Patent Applications and the Economic Heterogeneity within the EU
Authors: Potužáková Zuzana , Öhm Jan
Published: June 2018

In addition to internationalization and growing volumes of international trade in goods, the importance of expenditure on research and development (R&D) has grown significantly. National patent protection has become rather insufficient with increased international trade in goods, which has resulted in the importance of the international patent protection. The main aim of the article is to analyse the relation between R&D investment and the number of patent applications filed with the European Patent Office (EPO) after the year 2000, when the EU‘s Lisbon Strategy was launched. The authors have focused primarily on the differences among the EU macro-regions, which are based on the socioeconomic models. Conclusions imply that one percentage point of R&D expenditure generates roughly 100 EPO applications and the findings also show that individual macro-regions have the identical scattered data. However, dispersions in the individual groups of the EU Member States after the year 2000 differ. The EU Member States are starting to vary significantly in the intensity of R&D support also within each macro-region, thus disparities increase within the EU. Therefore, the attitude to GERD is considered to be an important factor contributing to the greater economic disparities within the EU.
Urethroplasty in Phalloplasty: Surgical Outcomes and Complications a Critical Review
Authors: Morgado Afonso , Tomada Nuno
Published: June 2018

Phalloplasty can be either performed as a penile reconstructive or phallic constructive procedure, mainly in penile trauma victims or female-to-male gender reassignment. After the introduction of the radial artery-based forearm free flap and with the further awareness of patient desire to void while standing, urethral reconstruction became a standard procedure and a main goal to attain in phalloplasty. Urethroplasty techniques can be broadly split in two main groups: as part of a tube-within-a-tube skin flap or as an independent other-than-skin graft. Urethral complications, such as fistula, stricture, or stones, are common and often recur after treatment. In this review, the main techniques of urethral reconstruction in phalloplasty are reviewed and compared. Urethral complications are also reviewed as well as their management.
Educational Data Clustering in a Weighted Feature Space Using Kernel K-Means and Transfer Learning Algorithms
Authors: Chau Vo Thi Ngoc , Phung Nguyen Hua
Published: June 2018

Educational data clustering on the students’ data collected with a program can find several groups of the students sharing the similar characteristics in their behaviors and study performance. For some programs, it is not trivial for us to prepare enough data for the clustering task. Data shortage might then influence the effectiveness of the clustering process and thus, true clusters can not be discovered appropriately. On the other hand, there are other programs that have been well examined with much larger data sets available for the task. Therefore, it is wondered if we can exploit the larger data sets from other source programs to enhance the educational data clustering task on the smaller data sets from the target program. Thanks to transfer learning techniques, a transfer-learning-based clustering method is defined with the kernel k-means and spectral feature alignment algorithms in our paper as a solution to the educational data clustering task in such a context. Moreover, our method is optimized within a weighted feature space so that how much contribution of the larger source data sets to the clustering process can be automatically determined. This ability is the novelty of our proposed transfer learning-based clustering solution as compared to those in the existing works. Experimental results on several real data sets have shown that our method consistently outperforms the other methods using many various approaches with both external and internal validations.
T HẰNG SỐ KP VÀ KOW CỦA PHTHALATE TRONG KHÔNG KHÍ TRONG NHÀ TẠI VIỆT NAM
Authors: Le Hanh
Published: June 2018

Trong những nghiên cứu đã công bố trước, phthalate được chỉ ra là nhóm hóa chất có tác động tiêu cực, ảnh hưởng đến các cơ quan nội tiết của động vật phòng thí nghiệm. Tuy nhiên, do nhu cầu sử dụng chưa có sự kiểm soát hiệu quả dẫn đến phthalate phân bố phổ biến trong các môi trường khác nhau như không khí, bụi, nước thải, thực phẩm… và dạng chuyển hóa của chúng đã được tìm thấy trong máu và nước tiểu người. Trong đó, hệ số phân bố pha của các phtalate nói riêng và các chất dễ bay hơi nói chung ở trong môi trường không khí cũng thu hút được nhiều sự quan tâm. Trong báo cáo này đề cập đến hệ số phân bố của 10 phthalate trong pha hơi và pha hạt từ các mẫu không khí trong nhà thu tại một số tỉnh thành phía Bắc, Việt Nam. Hằng số phân bố (Kp) và hệ số phân tán octanol/nước (Kow) trong môi trường không khí trong nhà được tính toán cho các phthalate nghiên cứu. Giá trị trung bình logKp của các phthalate dao động từ -2,16 đến -1,31 và giá trị trung bình logKow của các phthalate dao động từ 10,23 đến 11,08. Có sự sai lệch đáng kể giữa các giá trị logKp và logKow trong điều kiện chuẩn và môi trường không khí trong nhà. Kết quả đã chỉ ra rằng các điều kiện môi trường đã tác động làm thay đổi các giá trị logKp và logKow.

AN OBJECT RELATIONS PERSPECTIVE ON IAN McEWAN’S ATONEMENT: BRIONY’S CREATIVE APPERCEPTION IN LIGHT OF ATTACHMENT THEORY GENRE, AND NARRATIVE FORM
Authors: SABANCI UZUN Gamze
Published: June 2018

The general focus on Atonement
has been on Briony’s attempt to dominate the reality that surrounds her.
However, there is a gap in respect of Briony’s motive for subverting reality in
such a way that she can recreate herself as the heroine of her writing,
consequently allowing her to “dispel her insignificance” (McEwan 2001; 72). The
argument put forth in this article will be based around the suggestion that by
subverting reality, Briony directly leaves the ground of the romance genre and
enters the Bildungsroman genre. Thus, although Ian McEwan claims this to be his
“Jane Austen” novel, no heroine of that genre would come to the conclusion that
Robbie is a sex maniac and thus follow that narrative trajectory to its tragic
conclusion. It is the very tedium of her own “romantic” big-house existence,
which indeed resembles that of a Jane Austen novel, that leads Briony to
subvert the romance genre and thus assert her independence from her
environment. For a reader in a small urban house, the Tallis/Jane Austen
existence seems romantic, but for Briony in her large romantic house, it
represents the tedium of daily life, which she thus subverts to create some measure
of differentiation from her mother and her home context. As well as subverting
conventions, Briony’s projection of the “sex maniac” theory onto the narrative
can be interpreted as her urge to be creative and imaginative. She thus plays
with the conventions of the genre to demonstrate her primary creativity that
will allow her to gain control of her own narrative.

До питання про місце ХVІІ ст. в економічній історії Європи
Authors: Strishenets Оlena , Strishenets Mykola
Published: June 2018

У статті розглянуто місце ХVІІ ст. в історії економіки країн Європи. Проаналізовано праці науковців, які вивчали цю проблему, показано ступінь її висвітлення. Запропоновано підхід до вирішення маловивчених питань. Це дає можливість розглядати економічну історію країн Європи зі своїми особливостями, специфічними явищами й процесами. Установлено, що в ХVІІ ст. в країнах на схід від річки Ельби економічний розвиток відставав від західноєвропейських держав. Головна причина – зміцнення великих феодальних промислово-землеробських маєтків, що ґрунтувалися на позаекономічному примусі й жорстокій феодальній експлуатації. Нова господарська система виробництва отримала назву «друге видання кріпосництва». Східна Європа стає продовольчим і сировинним придатком для економічно розвинених західноєвропейських країн. ХVІІ ст. в економічній історії Європи є межею між двома економічними системами організації виробництва – феодальною й ринковою, між двома всесвітньо-історичними віхами – середньовіччям та новим часом. ХVІІ ст. поклало початок утвердженню індустріальної цивілізації.

Los microempresarios tienen una elevada participación en la actividad productiva de Ecuador, por ello es el sector de mayor presencia, sin embargo, el manejo desorganizado de sus negocios, y la escasa cultura organizacional, no les permiten fortalecer sus actividades para lograr mayor capitalización y mejores ingresos, catalogándolas en la mayoría de los casos como empresas de supervivencia. Es importante que conozcan y manejen de forma correcta sus competencias personales y laborales, vinculadas directamente al área empresarial. El objetivo de esta investigación es determinar las principales competencias, tanto personales como laborales, su relación de dependencia, y la influencia que tienen en el manejo de los negocios y el rendimiento de los mismos. Para el efecto se realizó encuestas a micro empresarios de la provincia del Guayas, utilizando un cuestionario adaptado del Manual Técnico Emotional Competence Inventory (ECI), para establecer el nivel de conocimiento que tienen sobre sus competencias. Con la información recabada se las interrelacionó y determinó el grado de dependencia entre ellas. Los resultados mostraron las competencias de mayor y menor incidencia en sus negocios, se analizó las principales razones que dan lugar al manejo que actualmente realizan, y establecieron algunas propuestas de mejora para un correcto aprovechamiento de ellas. ABSTRACTThe microentrepreneurs have a high participation in the productive activity of Ecuador, therefore it is the sector of greater presence; however, the disorganized management of their businesses, and the poor organizational culture, do not allow them to strengthen their activities to achieve greater capitalization and better income. These businesses are cataloged in most cases as companies for survive. It is important that they know and manage correctly their personal and work skills, directly linked to the business area. The objective of this research is to determine the main competences, both personal and work, as long as their dependency relation, and the influence that they have in the management of the business and in their profitability. For this purpose, surveys were conducted on micro entrepreneurs in the province of Guayas, using a questionnaire which was adapted from the Technical Manual Emotional Competence Inventory (ECI), to establish the level of knowledge they have about their competencies. The information collected was interrelated and determined the degree of dependence between them. The results showed the competences of major and minor incidence in their businesses, analyzed the main reasons that give rise to the management that they currently carry out, and established some improvement proposals for the correct use of them.
Percepción de la justicia organizacional de los empleados de la Universidad Técnica de Machala // Perception of the organizational justice of Universidad Técnica de Machala employees
Authors: Quezada Abad César
Published: June 2018

Justicia organizacional conlleva a entender cómo los trabajadores de una empresa aprecian la toma de decisiones de los mandos directivos en la administración de una empresa. En torno a este aspecto, este trabajo tiene por objetivo establecer la percepción de la justicia organizacional de los empleados en la Universidad Técnica de Machala (UTMACH), Ecuador. Para cumplir con el propósito propuesto, se encuestaron 400 servidores de la UTMACH, teniendo como metodología de investigación el estadístico-descriptivo y exploratorio. La prueba estadística de Cronbach arrojó un alfa de 0,939, lo que significa una elevada confianza en los datos recopilados. De acuerdo con los resultados, se concluye que la percepción del talento humano difiere en cada una de las fases de la gestión administrativa, debido a que en algunos casos la comprobación estadística corroboró el hecho de que la percepción era favorable y en otros casos no generaba ningún efecto. En las fases de organización y de planificación existe cierto nivel de incidencia, sin embargo prácticamente es incipiente; es decir, el talento humano no manifiesta mayor interés ante los cambios suscitados. En cuanto a la fase de dirección, el patrón se repite de modo similar a la planificación, en vista de que la apreciación de los empleados cambia ante una modificación de las políticas aplicadas por el líder. En lo que respecta al control, no existe incidencia en la percepción del talento humano.ABSTRACTOrganizational justice entails understanding how the employees of a company appreciate the decision-making of managers in the management of a company. Regarding this aspect, this paper aims to establish the perception of organizational justice of employees at the Universidad Técnica de Machala (UTMACH), Ecuador. In order to fulfill the proposed purpose, 400 servers of the UTMACH were surveyed, having the statistical-descriptive and exploratory as research methodology. Cronbach's statistical test yielded an alpha  of 0.939, which means a high confidence in the data collected. According to the results, it is concluded that the perception of human talent differs in each of the phases of administrative management, because in some cases the statistical verification corroborated the fact that the perception was favorable and in other cases did not generate any effect. There is a certain level of incidence in the organization and planning phases, but it is practically incipient; that is, human talent shows no greater interest in the changes. As for the management phase, the pattern is repeated in a similar way to the planning, since the appreciation of the employees changes before a modification of the policies applied by the leader. As far as control is concerned, there is no impact on the perception of human talent.
