Citizen Journalism in Cyber Media: Protection and Legal Responsibility Under Indonesian Press Law
Authors: Prahassacitta Vidya
Published: September 2017

Phenomena of citizen journalism had accepted and become part of cyber media. Cyber media owned and managed by press companies had featured citizen journalists’ information, critics, opinions, and news. Citizen journalism was part of freedom of expression. However, in Indonesia’s press law concept, it was not part of the national press. This created legal issues regarding protection and legal responsibility aspects for both parties. A qualitative research was conducting to solving these issues. Using secondary data from literature study and observation on several cyber media websites, this discovers two conclusions. First, the citizen journalist is part of freedom of the press; it means that a citizen journalist’s creation has protected form censor and bans. However, a citizen journalist still has a limitation which shall be complied videlicet Civil Code and Law No. 11 The year 2008 concerning Information and Electronic Transaction. Violation of both regulations means that a citizen journalist shall be legally responsible. Second, protection and responsibility border between a citizen journalist and press company are based on an agreement. Approval of term and condition of general user content in a website from a citizen journalist means that both parties have agreed to enter into an agreement. A press company might be freed of its legal responsibility as long as conducted its obligation to control and manage contents that have been uploaded and published by a citizen journalist. If the company does not take proportional action against citizen journalist’ contents that violating the law, the press company shall be requested its civil or criminal legal responsibility.
Gender Construction of Women as Maung Geulis in Indonesian Football
Authors: Ariyanto Ari
Published: September 2017

Talking about football, we could not separate it from the supremacy of masculinity that was created and rooted powerfully by men. It seemed that football was a sport that could be done merely by men and for men. That perspective became one of the most fundamental reasons why football was destined for men. However, there were a lot of women interested in football and becoming the supporter of the football team. Practically, these women supporters had their own labeling as supporters. It indicated that there was a role of women in football, either as a player or supporter. This study discussed the gender construction as a woman by means of the labeling itself. The qualitative-descriptive method was employed to investigate the women gender construction as ‘Maung Geulis’ in Indonesian football teams’ territory. The result shows how the manifestation of the women supporters in football can gain the motivation of morality to the football players in the field. Moreover, there is a desire of the women to show the gender equality through the labeling of ‘Maung Geulis’ as the women supporters. Either ‘Maung Geulis’ or other women supporters are attempted to locate the role of women in men’s domain. The potential of women as ‘Maung Geulis’ to be equal with men supporters is buried by the different labeling. The issue gives a distance of equality by using the political labeling becomes contra productive in the effort to construct the gender equality.
EPISTEMOLOGI DAN RUMPUN KEILMUAN KOMUNIKASI PENYIARAN ISLAM
Authors: Zamroni Mohammad
Published: September 2017

As a field of scientific discipline, the existence of Islamic communication and broadcasting still seems to be an unanswerable question. The issue is often addressed on how the epistemology and the clumps of communication and broadcasting science is. To meet this problem, in-depth studies need to be done by tracing the philosophy of science as a basic science including ontology, epistemology, and axiology. This study is needed to dismiss such dichotomy between secular sciences and the religious sciences (Islam). An integrative-interconnected science paradigm becomes a reference of the approach to integrate between science and Islam. Thus, the epistemology of communication science is a scientific discipline that studies broadcasting and journalism like others. While the Islamic Broadcasting Studies is a field of Da’wa study that becomes a core value of the Islamic perspective.

Sebagai bidang disiplin ilmu, adanya komunikasi Islam dan penyiaran nampaknya masih menjadi pertanyaan yang tidak terjawab. Masalah ini sering ditujukan pada bagaimana epistemologi dan rumpun komunikasi dan ilmu penyiaran. Untuk memenuhi masalah ini, studi perlu dilakukan secara mendalam dengan menelusuri filsafat ilmu sebagai ilmu dasar termasuk ontologi, epistemologi, dan aksiologi. Penelitian ini diperlukan untuk mengabaikan dikotomi seperti antara ilmu-ilmu sekuler dan ilmu-ilmu agama (Islam). Paradigma ilmu integratif-saling berhubungan menjadi acuan dari pendekatan untuk mengintegrasikan antara ilmu pengetahuan dan Islam. Dengan demikian, epistemologi ilmu komunikasi adalah suatu disiplin ilmu yang mempelajari penyiaran dan jurnalisme seperti orang lain. Sementara Studi Broadcasting Islam adalah bidang studi Dakwah yang menjadi nilai inti dari perspektif Islam.

Tulisan ini menggambarkan tentang pandangan  agama terhadap penjajahan Belanda di Indonesia, prioritas dakwah pada masa penjajahan Belanda, respon penjajah Belanda terhadap perlawanan bangsa Indonesia untuk menghilangkan pengaruh Islam di Indonesia dan respon balik masyarakat Indonesia terhadap penjajahan Belanda. Penjajah Belanda, monopoli perdagangan, pelayaran dan kekuasaan politik. Hal ini sangat bertentangan dengan tradisi di Indonesia. Karenanya menyulut reaksi sengit bangsa Indonesia untuk memerangi mereka. Walau selalu kalah namun agitasi Islam tidak menyurutkan semangat bangsa Indonesia untuk tetap memerangi Belanda, karena itulah penjajah Belanda berusaha menghilangkan pengaruh Islam bagi bangsa Indonesia. Kondisi negatif bangsa Indonesia akibat terjajah oleh Belanda, dipengaruhi juga oleh gerakan pembaharuan di luar negeri, juga ajaran Islam yang memerintahkan umatnya untuk menggunakan akal dalam merealisasikan ajaran  Islam agar tujuan rahmatan lil alamin bisa tercapai, mendorong para da’i untuk mengambil langkah-langkah pembaharuan, melalui organisasi Islam yang bergerak dalam bidang : dakwah, pendidikan, sosial ekonomi dam politik.

Processos metonímicos/meronímicos em narrativas afiliadas ao lendário amazônico
Authors: Moura Heliud Luis Maia
Published: September 2017

Meu objetivo, neste artigo, é analisar processos metonímicos/meronímicos constitutivos de narrativas afiliadas ao universo do lendário amazônico, compreendendo, nesses relatos, a construção sociocognitiva e cultural de 4 (quatro) personagens temáticos: Boto, Cobra, Matintaperera e Curupira. Tomo como referencial teórico as postulações de Marcuschi (2007), Mondada e Dubois (2003), Koch (2004), Dubois et al (2007) e Moura (2013), para esses autores, sob diferentes  perspectivas teóricas, os processos metonímicos/meronímicos, construtores das atividades referenciais em estudo, reconstituem sentidos pressituados, ancorados em objetos simbólicos específicos, particularmente os que são mobilizados nas diversas sociointerações em que esses artefatos textuais operam. O corpus, no qual consta os 4 (quatro) excertos em análise, é constituído de 13 (treze) números da revista Visagens, Assombrações e Encantamentos da Amazônia, de autoria do escritor paraense Walcyr Monteiro. As análises realizadas reafirmam as hipóteses segundo as quais os processos metonímicos/meronímicos são resultantes de atividades sociocognitivas e cognitivo-culturais mobilizadas na construção das narrativas em questão, sendo que as relações parte-todo e vice-versa não operam em nível de estabilização e isomorfia, mas são produto de reconstruções, via linguagem, de significações veiculadas no contexto em que essas histórias são contadas, precisamente no que diz respeito a significações atreladas a elementos constitutivos do lendário amazônico.

Tratamos aqui de aspectos funcionais da construção responsável pela formação de adjetivos em –nte no português brasileiro a partir de uma base verbal, representada formalmente por [[X]V -nte]ADJ. O objetivo é analisar questões de natureza semântica, textual-discursiva, sociointeracional e cognitiva, implicadas na ocorrência desses adjetivos em situação real de uso da língua. Fundamentamo-nos teoricamente na Linguística Funcional Centrada no Uso e em contribuições da Gramática de Construções. Os dados empíricos provêm do Corpus Discurso & Gramática, seções Natal e Rio de Janeiro. Nossos achados mostram que (i) adjetivos em –nte exibem baixa agentividade e nem sempre guardam transparência com o sentido do verbo-base; (ii) assumem uma pluralidade de funções textual-discursivas, a exemplo de subcategorização referencial e progressão discursiva; (iii) apresentam usos (inter)subjetivos e relacionam-se a estratégias de negociação de sentido; (iv) envolvem projeções metafóricas e metonímicas.

Published: September 2017

O presente estudo versa sobre a necessidade de se encarar o ato de escrever como uma habilidade que deve ser sistematizada e contextualizada, de modo a trazer significação dentro da sala de aula. Amparando-se na noção da Escola de Genebra para o ensino da produção textual (oral e escrita) por meio de sequências didáticas, trouxemos a descrição e a análise de uma sequência didática elaborada por uma docente para o trabalho com a escrita em um 5º ano (anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental), de uma escola municipal da cidade do Recife/ PE. Para fomentar as discussões teóricas e alicerçar as análises nos baseamos nos estudos genebrinos (BRONCKART, 1999; PASQUIER; DOLZ, 2002; DOLZ; NOVERRAZ; SCHNEUWLY, [2001] 2004); e em outras vozes comentadoras sobre a noção de sequências didáticas (ROJO, 2013) e sobre o ensino da escrita de textos (GERALDI, 1997; SOARES, 2001).

Processo de nasalização automática em uma variedade do português falado no recife
Authors: Mendonça Ana Maria Santos de
Published: September 2017

De acordo com Câmara Jr. (1970), as vogais nasais resultam do encontro de uma vogal com uma consoante nasal. Essa hipótese é considerada, neste estudo, a regra geral para que haja o fenômeno de nasalização da vogal em português. Essa regra geral prevê dois tipos de nasalização: uma delas é chamada, usualmente, nasalidade contrastiva ou fonêmica, por ter função distintiva, enquanto que a outra é, geralmente, chamada de nasalização automática ou fonética, uma vez que não distingue significados. Com base nos pressupostos da fonologia autossegmental e da fonética articulatória estudamos aqui o processo de nasalização de uma variedade do português falado no Recife, dando ênfase ao processo de nasalização automática. Para tanto, selecionamos vocábulos de dados do Projeto NURC/Recife contendo uma vogal seguida de uma consoante nasal e os dividimos em grupos. Para esses agrupamentos, consideramos os fatores linguísticos que podem favorecer ou bloquear a regra de nasalização. Os fatores selecionados foram os seguintes: a estrutura silábica, o ponto de articulação da consoante nasal e o contexto acentual da vogal alvo da nasalização. Os resultados das análises realizadas mostraram que esses fatores têm um papel importante tanto na categorização da regra de nasalização da vogal quanto na sua opcionalidade ou bloqueio.

Urinary Fibrinogen as a Predictor of Progression of CKD
Authors: Wang Hongtian , Zheng Chunxia , Lu Yinghui , Jiang Qi , Yin Ru , Zhu Ping , Zhou Minlin , Liu Zhihong
Published: September 2017

Background and objectives

Fibrinogen has been reported to be involved in kidney tubulointerstitial fibrosis and podocyte injury in mouse models. However, the relationship between urinary fibrinogen and kidney outcomes has not been clarified in patients with CKD.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements

We evaluated 402 patients with CKD and kidney biopsies, including 101 with diabetic nephropathy, 94 with idiopathic membranous nephropathy, 55 with idiopathic FSGS, and 152 with IgA nephropathy. We quantified urinary fibrinogen by ELISA and tested associations with kidney histology and progression to ESRD.

Results

Median (interquartile range) urinary fibrinogen-to-creatinine ratio was 536 (191–1461) ng/mg for patients with CKD, significantly higher than 2 (2–3) ng/mg for healthy controls (P<0.001). Urinary fibrinogen was positively correlated with urine protein (r=0.64; P<0.001) and interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (r=0.10; P=0.04), and it was negatively correlated with eGFR (r=−0.20; P<0.001). Over a median follow-up period of 35 months (interquartile range, 24–78 months), 68 of 402 patients (17%) developed ESRD. Higher urinary fibrinogen level was associated with increased risk of ESRD (hazard ratio, 2.12; 95% confidence interval, 1.31 to 3.26) per log10 higher urinary fibrinogen-to-creatinine ratio (P=0.003) adjusting for age, sex, BP, urine protein, disease type, eGFR, and interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy. For prediction of ESRD, the addition of urinary fibrinogen to eGFR, urine protein, and BP increased the area under the receiver operating curve from 0.73 to 0.76, and the Akaike information criterion improved from 333.6 to 327.0.

Conclusions

Urinary fibrinogen correlated with interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy and was an independent risk factor for progression of CKD to ESRD.

Published: September 2017

The decision to dispatch consumers demand has become a strategic and tactical consideration to be solved in an integrated manner. In this study, the problem of determining routing problem take case study of delivery of perishable product. The routes determination should take into account the unique characteristics of perishable products possess. Perishable products continuously decreases quality over their lifetime. The challenge for distributors is how to minimize the cost of delivering perishable products by taking into account the temperature so that it can serve a number of customers within the specified timeframe,The problem of determining the route on delivery is included in the combinatorial optimization problem, thus causing this problem to be complex to be solved by the exact method. On the other hand, metaheuristic methods are increasingly being developed to be applied in the completion of combinatorial optimizations.This research started from mathematical model of perishable product delivery which pay attention to perishability (quality, temperature, quality loss) and time windows. Based on this model, this research develops the route settlement algorithm of delivery of perishable product using metaheuristic, particle swarm optimization. The algorithm development is required because route determination included in discrete issues. In addition, the development of algorithms to improve performance by combining (hybrid) algorithms, nearest neighbor and particle swarm optimization. Experiments were performed on 2 sets of Solomon data. From the experimental results with the metaheuristic hybrid algorithm is able to provide better performance than pure metaheuristik. Although the solution gap produced by these two algorithms is not very significant, but when viewed from the computation time and the number of iterations required to find the best solution, this metaheuristic hybrid algorithm can save an average time of 17 times from pure metaheuristic algorithm.

Para a análise dos dados foram aplicados os princípios conceituais da Análise Temática de Bardin (1977). A análise dos dados mostrou que o momento da aula que mais favoreceu o entendimento da relação tecnologia-sociedade foi aquele em que houve a utilização dos vídeos como instrumento problematizador. Também foi destacada pelos alunos a importância da mediação do professor durante as aulas. A atividade realizada contribuiu para o desenvolvimento de habilidades como formular hipóteses, refletir e discutir em grupo. Conclui-se o trabalho apontando que a utilização de Sequências de Ensino Investigativas com o enfoque CTS pode favorecer o aprendizado dos alunos da física vivencial.
Business game as a means of stimulating cognitive activity and a method of forming students’ professional competence

Today interactive methods are increasingly used along with traditional teaching methods in higher education. The use of interactive technologies contributes to the active involvement of students in the learning process, promotes the awakening of their cognitive and creative initiative, forms their teamwork skills, ensures the formation of critical thinking, analysis and self-analysis skills, and promotes the development of students' communicative competencies, including those related to future professional activities. Practical exercises in the format of business or role playing games contribute to the effective solution of these tasks. The game is a special kind of interaction, during which a certain fragment of real life is simulated, with the subsequent freedom of activity for the participants of the game. Creating and running a role-playing game is a complex process that requires a preparatory stage, including the writing of a game scenario, a clear distribution of roles between participants, the actual running of the game itself and the stage of reflection, analysis of the achieved results, and the mutual and self-evaluation of the players' activities. The authors share their experience of a business game in form of a job interview on the subjects on "Ethics in business communication", on "Business Russian language", and "Russian language and culture of speech." The article describes the technology for preparing and running a business game, and gives detailed recommendations on how to use it. Thus, the authors of the article with their own pedagogical experience confirm the fact that the business game is a demanded method of interactive learning, which allows activating cognitive activity of students, and contributes to the formation of business communication skills and the personality of a future specialist.
How Patterns of Past Guidance Provision Affect Investor Judgments: The Joint Effect of Guidance Frequency and Guidance Pattern Consistency
Authors: Tang Michael , Venkataraman Shankar
Published: September 2017

Theory suggests that the provision of voluntary disclosure, in itself, is informative to investors, but prior empirical research largely focuses on investors' reaction to the content of disclosure. We extend the literature on earnings guidance by experimentally examining how investors react to a firm's historical pattern of guidance provision, holding constant guidance content. We manipulate two dimensions of guidance provision—how often guidance is provided (frequency), and whether guidance is provided for the same quarter(s) across consecutive years (pattern consistency). We find that consistency positively impacts investors' confidence and likelihood of investing because investors associate consistency with lesser managerial opportunism, but consistency matters only when frequency is low. Our results shed light on an important dimension of guidance provision unexamined in prior research—guidance consistency—and highlight when it can influence investor judgments even when key elements of a firm's historical guidance content are held constant.

Flexibility in Income Shifting under Losses
Authors: Hopland Arnt O. , Lisowsky Petro , Mardan Mohammed , Schindler Dirk
Published: September 2017

This study examines the flexibility of multinational firms to adjust their income-shifting strategies—whether using transfer pricing or internal debt—during the tax year to react to affiliates' operating losses. We develop the concept that under flexibility, multinationals can adjust their inter-affiliate payments ex post (i.e., after financial outcomes are revealed, but before the end of the tax year) to minimize worldwide tax payments. Without flexibility, multinationals must commit to their affiliates' income-shifting strategies ex ante (i.e., before financial outcomes are revealed). Our central prediction is that under ex post income shifting, loss affiliates report lower transfer prices and internal leverage than profitable affiliates; under ex ante income shifting, affiliates report the same transfer prices and internal capital structure, regardless of making losses. Using novel data on direct transfer payments and internal debt of Norwegian affiliates, we find empirical evidence that transfer pricing, particularly related to user fees, but not internal debt, provides flexibility to adjust income shifting ex post. In additional tests, we confirm that our results reflect flexibility rather than loss affiliates' poor performance. Our study should interest tax policymakers and researchers by identifying how various mechanisms allow multinational firms to shift income when they face losses.

Shareholder Elections of Audit Committee Members
Authors: Gal-Or Ronen , Hoitash Rani , Hoitash Udi
Published: September 2017

Voting in directors' elections is one of few mechanisms by which shareholders can influence corporate governance choices. We study elections of directors who serve on the audit committee (AC), a topic receiving little attention in past work. Our results show that AC members, especially those who do not serve on the compensation or nominating committees, receive greater shareholder support than other independent board members. We further find that among AC members, more qualified members, in terms of accounting expertise, receive greater support, while AC chairs without such expertise receive lower support. In addition, when the AC is less effective in monitoring the financial reporting process, its members receive lower shareholder approval, while other independent board members are less affected by these same financial reporting factors. Finally, when the AC is less effective, all of its members receive lower support, irrespective of their expertise or position within the committee.
Minimizing Cognitive Load in Representing Processes in a Business Process Diagram: Capturing the Process and Making Inferences About It
Authors: Borthick A. Faye , Schneider Gary P.
Published: September 2017

In the context of a kaiten-sushi restaurant, this guided learning experience minimizes learners' cognitive load as they construct a business process diagram (BPD) from the transcript of a conversation. The guidance provides a construction strategy, directs the construction, and illustrates the diagram. Instructors can vary the guidance to match learners' zones-of-proximal development (ZPD) or, when used with skilled learners, omit the guidance entirely. The guidance reduces the cognitive load of this experience, which is intended to enable learners to build mental schemas for developing BPDs in subsequent business situations. The guided experience is suitable for courses in which learners work with business processes, including accounting information systems (AIS), auditing, business analytics, and information systems (IS). Working through the experience requires students to think critically about the business process and implications of changes in the business process. The Teaching Notes include questions for assessing student proficiency in making inferences about the business process after they construct the BPD.
Hadith Hermeneutic of Ali Mustafa Yaqub
Authors: Rohmansyah Rohmansyah
Published: September 2017

Hermeneutic hadith is disputed by academics; some refuse, others develop the theory (as long as it does not conflict with the source of Islamic teachings when the theory is used in the text of the hadith). The hermeneutics of hadith are from the West used in the Bible. The research method used is the library research with hermeneutical interpretation approach and produce several things, such as: First, in terminology, hadith according to Ali Mustafa Yaqub is a source of Islamic teachings both derived from the words, deeds and the characteristics of the Prophet Muhammad. The characteristics of the Prophet Muhammad are part of the sunnah. Secondly, in understanding the text of the traditions of the Prophet Muhammad is not only taken from the literary meaning, but must look for other meanings so that the text of hadith can be fully understood. Comprehensive understanding of hadith can be done by looking at the background of the emergence of Hadith (asbâb al-Wurûd), local and temporal (zamāni wa makâni), sentence causality ('illat al-kalam) and socio-cultural (taqâlid). Hermeneutic Gadamer states that the application of the hadith understanding can be understood as part of the hermeneutical process of hadith, although Ali Mustafa Yaqub does not explicitly explain the hermeneutic theory used in the understanding of a hadith text.
