Alma-Ata: some architectural narratives of the soviet city
Authors:   Ch. Valikhanov Institute of History and Ethnology, Abylkhozhin Z. B , Krupko I. ,   Abai Kazakh National Pedagogical University
Published: April 2021

This article explores some visual narratives of the architectural landscape of Alma-Ata city (modern Almaty). Historical narratives produced or studied by historians in the text are no less vividly and distinctly manifested in the visual sphere. In many ways, this can be attributed to the design of urban space and its architecture. Architecture not only directly depends on the socio-political, ideological, and symbolic regime, but often creates it. Being a product of the era, a zone of perception and reflection of its impulses, the architectural landscape of the city creates a socio-cultural space, which in turn forms the mental background for the inhabitants of this city. Knowledge about cities is a special subject field for comparative urban studies, including a culturalanthropological and ethnographic basis. The article attempts to describe the two main architectural narratives of the city of Almaty (Stalinist Empire style and Soviet modernism) and their projections in the space of historical memory, as well as the relationship of these narratives with the corresponding ideologies (imperial geopolitical ambitions of the USSR in the post-war period and the ideology of modernism of the 60-80s biennium). The problem of updating the cultural heritage of Soviet architecture in the historical memory of the Kazakh society is also posed.
Problems of Eugenics and Posthumanism in the Film Gattaca
Authors: Kim Soung-su
Published: April 2021

Eugenics is the science of improving a population by controlled breeding to increase the occurrence of desirable heritable characteristics. There have been many studies in eugenics on pure bloodline or good bloodline. Since the late 20th century, it has been developed into ‘new eugenics’ in its collaborative efforts with biotechnology. Whereas old eugenics, if we can call it that way, tried to make better people of a nation or the whole humankind by removing inferior elements, new eugenics is expected to make humankind free from virus and serious diseases by research on gene therapy and genetic engineering. This is related to the notion of posthumanism, which aims at far better human beings, or post human beings, by artificially renovating human beings. Both new eugenics and posthumanism, however, produce great anxiety. Whether old or new, eugenics is based on human desire to seek better things to its extreme. It is evident that it will produce severe conflicts between superior groups and inferior groups and many unanticipated problems in its implementation in society. Ultimately, research on genetic engineering will deeply affect the essence of life in nature. Furthermore, there have been criticisms on posthumanism in that it lacks accountability with regard to future human beings. The film "Gattaca" is about these concerns and is regarded as one of the best SF films. This paper tries to link eugenics, posthumanism, and the film "Gattaca". The core issue found in all these is the ‘quality of life’. We can also find violation of human dignity in the social system and policies when they try to divide the superior and the inferior and eradicate the perceived inferiority. This paper approaches this issue from the perspective of cultural contents and shows why eugenics and posthumanism appeal to human beings and why they can cause problems. In particular, this paper examines the film "Gattaca" from the perspective of social cultural criticism and original source analysis and shows critical voices found in the film about genetic engineering as new eugenics and posthumanism.

Published: April 2021

AbstractThis paper aims to evaluate madrasas that have been designed to have advantages in terms of input, process, output, and outcome, namely Madrasah Aliyah Negeri Insan Cendikia (MAN IC) Batam City. This research uses a qualitative approach. The research informants were the Head and Deputy Head of MAN IC Batam City, Head of Administration, teachers, students, and parents of students. The data analysis used a qualitative descriptive technique. The results showed that the implementation of MAN IC Batam City, in general, has been running by the Guidelines for Managing Cendikia Insan MAN. The recruitment process for students and teaching and education staff is carried out under established procedures. However, there are still problems, especially in the presence of educators. The status of teachers who are accepted by MAN IC is permanent teachers, not civil servants, making them take the opportunity to take the CPNS test. When accepted by civil servants they were not placed in the MAN IC Batam City. It is feared that changing teachers often will have an impact on students. Infrastructure facilities that support the teaching and learning process at a minimum have also been fulfilled. However, teacher dormitory is far from being fulfilled. The output produced by MAN IC Batam has been good, becoming the best madrasa and many achievements have been made in three years, both academic and non-academic achievements. AbstrakTulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi madrasah yang sejak awal pendiriannya didesain memiliki keunggulan baik dari sisi input, proses, output maupun outcome yaitu Madrasah Aliyah Negeri Insan Cendikia (MAN IC) Kota Batam. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif. Informan penelitian adalah Kepala dan wakil kepala MAN IC Kota Batam, Kepala Tata Usaha, guru, peserta didik, dan orang tua siswa. Analisis data menggunakan teknik deskriptif kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penyelenggaraan MAN IC Kota Batam secara umum telah berjalan sesuai dengan Pedoman Penyelenggaraan MAN Insan Cendikia. Proses rekriutmen siswa dan tenaga pendidik dan kependidikan berjalan sesuai dengan prosedur yang ditetapkan. Namun masih ada permasalahan khususnya pada keberadaan tenaga pendidik. Status guru yang diterima MAN IC adalah guru tetap bukan PNS membuat mereka mengambil kesempatan mengikuti tes CPNS. Ketika diterima PNS mereka tidak ditempatkan di MAN IC Kota Batam. Seringnya berganti guru dikhawatirkan akan berdampak pada peserta didik. Sarana prasarana yang menunjang proses belajar mengajar secara minimal juga sudah terpenuhi. Namun untuk asrama guru masih jauh dari terpenuhi. Output yang dihasilkan MAN IC Batam sudah baik, menjadi madrasah terbaik dan banyak prestasi yang sudah diraih dalam tiga tahun baik prestasi akademik maupun non akademik.

Authors: Brumati Lêda Cristiane dos Santos , Santos Alice Sayonara Modesto , Martins Nathiele da Silva
Published: April 2021

Este trabalho se refere à importância da implantação de uma equipe de proteção social especial (PSE) na Municipalidade, haja vista que em grandes cidades já existem os Centros de Referência Especializados de Assistência Social, o que não ocorre em municípios de pequeno porte, cuja demanda também existe, e acaba ficando sem uma atenção especial necessária. O presente artigo apresenta, incialmente, a organização dos níveis de proteção existentes na assistência social. Em seguida diferenciamos, brevemente, o Centro de Referência de Assistência Social (CRAS) e o Centro de Referência Especializado de Assistência Social (CREAS). Ao final abordaremos o papel da PSE e suas características. Através de uma revisão bibliográfica concluiu-se que, os atendimentos de profissionais na proteção social especial são de extrema relevância e permitem que um conjunto de serviços, projetos e programas que objetivam a reconstrução de vínculos comunitários e familiares corroborem para com a defesa dos direitos sociais.

Its key instrument is the Sustainable Energy Action Plan: this survey ex-amines the plans of 32 Italian small and very small municipalities in the Liguria, between the coastline and the countryside. The goal is to provide a comparative reading of the SEAPs and hypothesize some rationales about location and size.
Budget rules with a public debt reduction target
Authors: Petretto Alessandro
Published: April 2021

After the Stability and Growth Pact suspension to face the Covid-19 emergency and subsequent financial crisis, a novel fiscal discipline must be designed for the Euro Area. In this short paper, we formally analyze and compare three budget rules and their efficacy in pursuing a reasonable public debt reduction target, explicitly envisaged by them. The rules we refer to are: (a) the structural adjustment toward a budget medium term objective, required by Fiscal Compact discipline; (b) the expenditure rule proposed by European Fiscal Board and (c) the Musgrave Golden rule. By a simple simulation exercise we argue that the rule proposed by EFB seems to be, for a country with a low rate of growth and a high level of public debt, preferable to the other two.

Authors: Quaranta Roberto , Trentini Francesco , Villosio Claudia
Published: April 2021

In questo lavoro si propone un'analisi delle caratteristiche occupazionali della po-polazione straniera in Italia rispetto ai cittadini nazionali, confrontando i mesi di epidemia COVID-19 con i precedenti. L'analisi si avvale dei microdati della Forze di Lavoro ISTAT fino al secondo trimestre 2020. La banca dati è arricchita dalla Indagine Campionaria sulle Professioni INAPP che permette di includere nell'analisi le caratteristiche professionali, tra cui la prossimità con i colleghi, il con-tatto con il pubblico, l'importanza di mansioni di cura e l'esposizione a malattie con le quali è costruito un indicatore sintetico di rischio di contagio da SARS-Cov-2 sul posto di lavoro. Con un modello di probabilità lineare si stimano gli effetti del COVID-19 sulla perdita dell'occupazione e sulla sospensione dell'attività lavorati-va. I risultati mostrano per gli stranieri una maggiore incidenza della perdita di oc-cupazione e una minore sospensione dell'attività nei mesi della pandemia, con ef-fetti maggiori per le donne.

Luigi Luzzatti and the making of the Italian monetary system
Authors: Solari Stefano
Published: April 2021

After unification (1861) Italy had to face a badly integrated and oddly struc-tured financial system as well as some fragmented or lacking institutions. The fi-nancial position of the country was characterised by double deficit in public and external balance. That caused several monetary and financial difficulties. In par-ticular, monetary and banking institutions had to be step-by-step integrated and reorganised to support economic development in this new economic space. Luigi Luzzatti has been one of the main protagonists of this process of institution build-ing. Besides his commitment with trade tariff negotiation and a variety of initiative in industry and environmental protection, he dedicated a wide effort to monetary institutions. He was one of the main supporters of the "Latin Monetary Union", which lasted from 1865 to 1928 and contributed to reforms dealing with the prob-lem of the plurality of emission banks and of their control. Luzzatti also engaged in the development of "popular banks" to contribute to the structuring of the credit system from the bottom.
Reshaping the external constraint. Franco Modigliani, Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa and the EMS, 1977-1993
Authors: Piluso Giandomenico
Published: April 2021

During a decade of stagflation in the 1970s, a sea of changes on the interna-tional stage led to major macroeconomic imbalances that gave central bankers a different role in relation to governments and policy-makers. In Europe, this coin-cided with the relaunching of the project for European integration. The Italian case shows how governments and central bankers interacted in shaping adjustment strategies. The Bank of Italy had a pivotal role in shaping the country's economic policies, relying on its capacity for economic analysis. The adjustment strategy formulated in the "Pandolfi Plan" of 1978 was conceived largely by an economist at the Bank of Italy, Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa. Further developing analyses conducted jointly with Franco Modigliani the previous year, the plan focused on the macroeconomic effects of high labour costs in the wake of a full ("100% and plus") wage indexing and rising government deficits. The policy proposal revolved around a few targets, namely investments and economic growth, and an explicit principle of fairness in the labour market. The Pandolfi Plan pledged to Italy's en-during participation in the European integration process by combining economic development with adhesion to the "European choice", which meant joining the European Monetary System (EMS). The European agreements governing EMS membership replaced the standard external economic constraints, i.e. the balance of payments and exchange rate, with a new kind of semi-legal external constraint ingrained in the governance structure of the European Community. The nature of this new semi-legal external constraint as a fiscal discipline mechanism eventually emerged more clearly with the Maastricht Treaty.
Diáspora china en América Latina y su vinculación con la República Popular China
Authors:   Tecnológico de Monterrey, Montoya Miguel A.
Published: April 2021

El poder de la República Popular de China (RPC) despierta recelos sobre las poblaciones étnicas chinas, conocidas como “chinos de ultramar”, al pensarse que prestan ayuda a la madre patria. En este estudio presentamos una visión de los chinos de ultramar en los países de América Latina en los que tienen mayor presencia; compartimos una descripción de sus comunidades y apuntes de su arribo a la región, y analizamos los temas distintivos en cada país. Realizamos un análisis buscando identificar el apoyo que la RPC recibe por parte de las comunidades chinas residentes en esa región. Para ello, compa-ramos dos muestras: en la primera se incluyen los países con una marcada presencia de los chinos de ultramar, mientras que en la segunda se agrupan los países que no tenían una comunidad numerosa de origen chino, pero que pudieran resultar atractivos para los planes chinos de expansión. Tras analizar los resultados presentamos nuestras conclusiones, donde se observa que el apoyo mutuo entre la RPC y los chinos de ultramar es débil, especialmente por parte de ese país.
Issues Relating to Goodwill Valuation
Authors: Gadžo Amra , Veledar Benina
Published: April 2021

According
to both theoretical and empirical research results, this paper has the aim to
determine, the extent to which the current accounting regulatory framework
(IFRS 3 and IAS 36) offers an adequate basis for correct valuation of goodwill.
We have researched all the available critical reviews of the accounting
treatment of goodwill and the quality of applying accounting regulations onto expression of the goodwill position in BH companies’ practices. The empirical research was conducted on all the companies in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH), which recorded goodwill in their balance sheets in the period from 2013 to 2018. The research results have shown a high level of subjectivity in the process of determining the value of goodwill, and great discrepancies in adhering to the accounting regulations in the part of additional valuation and expression of goodwill value in financial reports. This resulted in the fact that the share of companies in FBiH which express decreased values of goodwill is far greater than the share of companies in the European union (EU). The main contribution of this paper is the fact that this is the first comprehensive research on evaluation of goodwill in FBiH companies in comparison to the situation in the EU. Also, it confirms the Agency Theory and shows great subjectivity in evaluation which results in an unjustified expression of a higher operative success in financial reports.
Primjena input-output modela u analizi potrošnje vode kao inputa u gospodarstvu Hrvatske
Authors: Gelo Tomislav , Knez Dominik
Published: April 2021

U radu se analizira primjena input-output
modela u potrošnji vode gdje se istražuje povezanost vode kao ograničavajućeg
resursa gospodarstva Hrvatske kroz međusektorske odnose proizvodnih sektora na
koje je nacionalno gospodarstvo raščlanjeno, a temeljem dva hibridna
input-output modela, za 2004. i 2010. godinu. Analizira se i vremenska promjena
povezanosti gospodarstva i vodnih resursa. Budući da su proizvodni sektori međusobno
povezani svaka promjena u agregatnoj potrošnji utjecat će na raspodjelu
potrošnje vode na proizvodne sektore. Iz tog proizlazi važnost analize
intermedijarnih odnosa na razini nacionalnog gospodarstva, a preko njih i
utjecaj nacionalnog gospodarstva na raspoložive vodne resurse. U radu se koristi hibridni input-output
model potrošnje vode, rađen za 2004. i 2010. godinu, na temelju dostupnih
publikacija Državnog zavoda za statistiku i Hrvatske agencije za okoliš i
prirodu. Temeljne publikacije za izradu modela su tablice ponude i uporabe, iz
kojih su izvedene simetrične input-output tablice za 2004. i 2010. godinu te
podaci o distribuciji vode za 2004. i 2010. godinu. Cjelokupno gospodarstvo
Hrvatske u hibridnom modelu raščlanjeno na 22 proizvodna sektora. Pojedini
proizvodni sektor nastao je objedinjavanjem različitih djelatnosti iz
Nacionalne klasifikacije djelatnosti (NKD) 2002. i 2007. Modelom se utvrđuju
intenziteti direktne i indirektne potrošnje vode, posljedično ukupna
intenzivnost potrošnje vode te multiplikatori direktne i ukupne potrošnje.
Rezultati modela za navedene godine ukazuju da u hrvatskom gospodarstvu svega
nekoliko industrijskih sektora ima dominantan direktan utjecaj na vodne resurse
(proizvodnja električne energije, koks i rafinirani naftni proizvodi te
kemijski i farmaceutski proizvodi) te se preko njih voda distribuira u ostale
gospodarske sektore. Smanjenje utjecaja na vodne resurse u Hrvatskoj može se
postići smanjenjem intenzivnosti potrošnje vodnih resursa u promatranim sektorima.
Pri primjeni dobivenih rezultata valja uzeti u obzir ograničenja hibridnog
input-output modela koji je statičan te nedostatak podataka o potrošnji vode po
svim sektorima.
Assessing the Listening Proficiency of ESL Students in a Pandemic
Authors: Esnara Chester B.
Published: April 2021

The debate as to whether or not listening skills can be used as a testing device for measuring language proficiency—particularly grammatical competence—has been quite a controversial issue for the longest time. Yet, current research findings have not been entirely conclusive and sufficient either way. Hence, this particular study was conducted to address the problem given the existing research gap in the field. Firstly, the investigation sought to determine the listening proficiency level of 40 ESL freshmen in a state university for grammatical distinctions utilizing the mean score. Secondly, it identified the learners’ common errors and difficulties encountered in listening for grammatical distinctions using frequency and sentence analysis. To validate the results of the communicative listening test, a writing composition exercise was duly administered. The results showed that the respondents have very good proficiency levels in listening for grammatical distinctions in terms of inflectional patterns of singular and plural forms of subjects or predicates and good proficiency levels in terms of inflectional patterns for present and past tense of verbs. However, it was found that there still exist some problems in terms of more complex syntactic constructions. Results revealed that the respondents were confused and disrupted in some listening items when the test sentence is embedded with intervening words, phrases, or subordinate clauses. This problem may actually be indicative of socio-psycholinguistic factors to retain what they learned in an academic setting, but outside of it, the intervening words easily disrupted their concentration and memory. Lastly, the new normal caused by the COVID 19 pandemic has forced educators and students into a new learning environment: the online classroom. In recognition of this, the test was administered online, and the results similarly processed but with consideration of the electronic platform as a moderating variable. This shift in the modality of instruction affects ways of learning that have not necessarily been plotted before, as observed by EFL and ESL experts like Brown (2000) and Richards (2016). Thus, while it is not the primary focus of the study, this paper nevertheless highlights this new socio-technological aspect as a crucial moderator of listening assessment for better grammatical competence.

Authors: Erdita Dellia
Published: April 2021

This research aims to find out the similes found in the novel “Game of Thrones” and its Indonesian translation “Perebutan Tahta”, and to investigate what translation strategies are used in translating the similes from the source text to the target text. The method applied in this research is descriptive qualitative which is used to describe the phenomena occuring in the translation of similes from English into Indonesian. The data were collected from the first three chapters of the novel Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin and its Indonesian version entitled Perebutan Tahta. The similes are identified by using the theories of similes proposed by Israel (2014), Harding (2017), Knowles and Moon (2006), and Kridalaksana (2013). In analyzing the data, the translation strategies proposed by Chesterman (2016) are used. The result shows that there are 32 data found, 28 of them are similes translated into similes, while 4 of them are similes translated into non-similes. The translation strategy used to translate similes into similes is trope change type A, while the translation strategy used to translate similes into non-similes are trope change type C. The findings show that the translation of similes into similes are dominant in the first three chapter of the novel with the percentage 87,5% from out of 32 data found, while the translation from similes to non-similes is only 12,5%. The findings also show that there is secondary strategy found while analyzing the data, namely compression. Nevertheless, regardless of the fact that the similes in the source text are translated into similes and non-similes in the target text, the main translation strategy used is still trope change, although the types are different. For the reason that the trope change strategy is specifically stated by Chesterman to translate figurative expressions, which includes simile. Furthermore, the secondary strategy, compression, occurred because due to the structure of Indonesian language, the translation in the target text tends to be shorter than the original source text in English.

The present study investigated the gender differences in producing all English rounded vowels /u:/, /ɔ:/, /ʊ/ and /o/ in Iranian EFL learners' speech in comparison with native ones. Sixty Iranian EFL learners including 30 males and 30 females were selected as the participants of this study. Oxford proficiency test (OPT, 2001) was conducted in order to ensure the learners were truly homogenous with regard to their English proficiency level. All learners were right-handed, Persian monolingual native speakers with no brain injuries, hearing or visual problems that interfered with their performance in the test. Four words containing English round vowels with CVC syllable structure were selected and put inside the carrier sentence ''Say......please''. In fact, each learner uttered the carrier sentences separately. Via PRAAT software (win 64), the voices of the participants were recorded and analyzed for obtaining the first and the second formants (F1 and F2) of each vowel. The obtained data from male and female speeches were compared to each other to find their differences. The results showed in F2 values, there were gender differences considering the consonantal context. This study demonstrated that for males, the degree of backness of vowel /u:/ was less than that of vowel /ɔ:/, but for females it was vice versa. For both vowels, male's mean F1 was lower than female's mean F1 and male's mean F2 was higher than female's mean F2. The present study showed gender differences in producing English rounded vowels. So, the results can be used in classes which contain only one gender. The findings of this study can bring about some pedagogical implications for teaching English diphthongs, triphthongs and English rounded vowels.

In time of pandemic, a message from a country’s leader is critical to calm the shaken nation, address the challenges, and put things in order. There are a number of studies using CDA for political speeches, but few have dealt with recent speeches about COVID19 pandemic. This paper specifically problematizes the covid19 speeches of President Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines which have not yet been explored. Thus, this study endeavors on investigating the linguistic features, cohesion, and social issues and ideology embedded in the covid19 speeches of President Duterte. This qualitative study utilized the Systemic Functional Linguistics as a method of data analysis. It was found that covid19 speeches of President Duterte generally highlights promoting inclusivity and service to the nation and this was achieved through his dominant use of personal pronouns, present and future tenses, present progressives, use of modal verbs will and through the properties of cohesion found in his speeches. His linguistic choices also revealed two layers of meaning clustered into extrinsic and intrinsic meanings. Although the speeches encourage solidarity and inclusivity, it was also loaded with forewarning against corrupt officials. Meanwhile, social issues found which are distinct from his non-covid19 speeches in terms of contexts are corruption, politicking, red tape, abuse of power, and socio-economic dilemmas.

Published: April 2021

The aim of this study is to investigate the semiotics of the cover, title, characters and the settings of Faces in Hot Water (1996) by the Palestinian writer Abdallah Tayeh. The study shows how important is semiotics in aesthetically and cognitively shaping the novel. The study adopts a qualitative research method by applying semiotic analysis to create a new understanding of the literary text and its interpretations. Built on semiotic analysis, the writer embodies the prevailing norms, traditions and culture of the Palestinian society. The writer also reveals semantic signs that are not visible. He in fact captured the implied meaning behind the semiotic text. The research shows that Tayeh uses many semiotic signs to refer to the various concepts of issues related to the Palestinian culture, society and beliefs.

The proteasome inhibitors, carfilzomib and bortezomib, are widely used to treat myeloma but head-to-head comparisons have produced conflicting results. We compared the activity of these proteasome inhibitors in combination with cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone (KCd vs. VCd) in second-line treatment using fixed duration therapy and evaluated the efficacy of carfilzomib maintenance. MUKfive was a phase II controlled, parallel group trial that randomized patients (2:1) to KCd (n=201) or VCd (n=99); responding patients on carfilzomib were randomized to maintenance carfilzomib (n=69) or no further treatment (n=72). Primary endpoints were: (i) very good partial response (non-inferiority, odds ratio [OR] 0.8) at 24 weeks, and (ii) progression-free survival. More participants achieved a very good partial response or better with carfilzomib than with bortezomib (40.2% vs. 31.9%, OR=1.48, 90% confidence interval [CI]: 0.95, 2.31; non-inferior), with a trend for particular benefit in patients with adverse-risk disease. KCd was associated with higher overall response (partial response or better, 84.0% vs. 68.1%, OR=2.72, 90% CI: 1.62, 4.55, P=0.001). Neuropathy (grade ≥3 or ≥2 with pain) was more common with bortezomib (19.8% vs. 1.5%, P<0.0001), while grade ≥3 cardiac events and hypertension were only reported in the KCd arm (3.6% each). The median progression-free survival in the KCd arm was 11.7 months vs. 10.2 months in the VCd arm (hazard ratio [HR]=0.95, 80% CI: 0.77, 1.18). Carfilzomib maintenance was associated with longer progression-free survival, median 11.9 months vs. 5.6 months for no maintenance (HR 0.59, 80% CI: 0.46-0.77, P=0.0086). When used as fixed duration therapy in first relapase, KCd is at least as effective as VCd, and carfilzomib is an effective maintenance agent. This trial was registered with International Standard Randomised Controlled Trial Number (ISRCTN) identifier: ISRCTN17354232.
