This present study tries to investigate the students’ writing performance to know whether interlanguage fossilization is occurring or not. The primary goal of this research is to give information relating to interlanguage fossilization in students’ writing performance of the English Education Study Program of IAIN JuraiSiwo Metro. This research is qualitative research. It is used to describe interlanguage fossilization that occurred in students’ writing performance. The writer uses observation, documentation, and interview to collect the data. Purposive sampling is the technique for choosing the ten students of the sixth and the eight-semester of English Education Study Program of IAIN JuraiSiwo Metro in the Academic Year of 2017/2018. The result of this research shows that there are two types of interlanguage fossilization that are commonly produced by students’ writing performance. They are syntactical fossilization and morphological fossilization. Syntactical fossilization consists of 71,86% and morphological fossilization consists of 28,14%.  Moreover, the interlanguage fossilization phenomenon in students’ writing performance is caused by the students’ low English proficiency. Therefore, students should be more active to improve their English ability.

Published: March 2020

This thesis is analyzing promiscuity on the main character. The purpose of this thesis is to find out and understand how it happened, to look for the two causes and impacts of promiscuity that are described in the novel. The main character is the girl who is a victim of sexual violence by her own uncle. As a result of the vile things done by her uncle, She was involved in a deviation, namely promiscuity. She did promiscuity with lots of boys. The behavior of multiple partners in sexual relations without a commitment relationship (promiscuity) is rarely found in women. Because in general, women engage in sexual relations on the basis of love and as an expression of feelings of love towards their partners. When found by individual women with promiscuity behavior, it becomes interesting to look more deeply. The theory used to analyze is a theory by Kartono and Mcleish. The research methods used in this thesis are qualitative methods and library research. The author collects data from the novel and from several sources of articles, books, and journals that have a relationship with this thesis.

Published: March 2020

Since English was declared as lingua franca and also because more foreign companies established in Indonesia, so mastering English is becoming one of the most important preparations for the Indonesian nation to face AEC (ASEAN Economic Community). This article aimed to explore about the importance of English for Moslem students in AEC preparation, Moslem students’ English competency for struggling AEC, and to see curriculum concern on fulfilling the need of Moslem students relate to AEC. This research was developed qualitatively. It was found that learning English is very crucial for Moslem students since AEC has started. However, their English competency has not been balanced with the need because IAIN Bukittinggi has just implemented English in two semesters only. It is not sufficient to meet the need of Islamic Economic human resources challenges AEC

 

Semenjak bahasa Inggris dideklarasikan menjadi bahasa pengantar atau bahasa Lingua Franca  dalam perdagangan bebas ASEAN,  juga karena semakin banyaknya perusahaan asing berdiri di Indonesia setelah diberlakukannya  pasar bebas, menyebabkan menguasai bahasa Inggris menjadi salah satu persiapan penting bagi bangsa Indonesia untuk menghadapi MEA (Masyarakat Ekonomi Asean). Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengupas tentang pentingnya bahasa Inggris dalam persiapan menghadapi Masyarakat Ekonomi Asean. Tulisan ini juga bertujuan untuk melihat kemampuan bahasa Inggris mahasiswa Islam terkhusus di IAIN Bukittinggi serta ingin mengetahui apakah kurikulum yang diterapkan di IAIN Bukittinggi sudah memenuhi kebutuhan mahasiswa terkait persiapan mereka menyambut MEA. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan metode deskriptif kualitatif. Dari hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa bahasa Inggris sangat penting bagi mahasiswa Muslim dalam menghadapi MEA. Namun kemampuan bahasa Inggris mereka belum untuk memenuhi tantangan MEA, hal ini disebabkan karena bahasa Inggris hanya dipelajari dalam dua semester selama perkuliahan Strata 1.
Long Distance Mangerial Intervention in Overseas Conflicts: Helping Missionaries Reframe Conflict along Multiple Dimensions
Authors: Dunaetz David Robert
Published: March 2020

Effective ways of conflict management must be found for missionaries when no trusted mediator in the region is available. Home office management or leaders in other regions can intervene through context rich media, such as the telephone and video conferencing, to provide help. Intervention through context poor media, such as email, is much less likely to succeed. Effective managerial intervention involving interaction with each party can lead to reframing the conflict into an opportunity to cooperate and find mutually beneficial solutions. The manager can present information, ask questions, and help the parties see that resolution is possible by addressing key issues such as the relative importance of the consequences, the potential win-win nature of the solution, each party’s sense of victimization, and the certainty of continued interaction in the relationship.

Problematika Pendirian Rumah Ibadah Agama Buddha di Kota Tangerang
Authors: warsito
Published: March 2020

Pelaksanaan ibadah umat beragama adalah hal mendasar bagi setiap umat beragama yang dijamin oleh negara. Dasar Hukum yang digunakan adalah adalah Surat Keputusan Bersama Menteri Agama dan Menteri Dalam Negeri No. 01/Ber-MDN-MAG/1969 Tanggal 13 September 1969. Kasus pengerusakan tempat ibadah oleh kelompok-kelompok tertentu pada tahun belakangan ini sempat menyulut ketegangan antara umat beragama. Bentuk diskriminatif terhadap agama dalam berbagai hal seharusnya tidak boleh terjadi dalam sebuah negara yang berasaskan Pancasila. Pemerintah mengeluarkan Peraturan Bersama 2 Menteri sebagai acuan mendirikan rumah ibadah yaitu Peraturan Bersama Menteri Agama dan Menteri Dalam Negeri (PBMA dan MDN) Nomor 8 Tahun 2006 dan Nomor 9 Tahun 2006, selanjutnya disebut SKB 2 Menteri, yang membahas tentang pendirian rumah ibadah dan pedoman penyiaran agama. Pemerintah seharusnya mengusahakan untuk membuat aturan-aturan penjelas yang lebih detail, 2 hal yang saling berkaitan, yaitu pembinaan kerukunan umat beragama melalui pembentukan Forum Kerukunan Umat Beragama (FKUB) dan prosedur pendirian rumah ibadah. Penelitian ini bertitik tolak pada kerangka pemikiran keagamaan yang membahas mengenai Problematika Pendirian Rumah Ibadah Agama Buddha kemudian di analisis makna yang terkandung di dalamnya. Di dalam penelitian ini, metode yang digunakan adalah metode penelitian kualitatif dengan model Miles and Huberman. Berdasarkan dari hasil penelitian dan pembahasan maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa Problematika yang terjadi dalam proses pendirian rumah ibadah adalah problem internal dan eksternal. Problem Internal seperti perbedaan pendapat dan kepentingan. Problem tersebut dapat diatasi dengan cara musyawarah antar pengurus vihara dan umat Buddha. Problem eksternal yang terjadi adalah adanya protes dari masyarakat dengan tidak menyetujui adanya tempat ibadah agama Buddha. Melalui komunikasi dengan tokoh masyarakat setempat maka masalah eksternal ini dapat diatasi dengan melakukan forum dialog yang lebih membuka kesempatan mendengar penjelasan masing-masing pihak yang berkonflik pada akhirnya konflik dapat diidentifikasi, dan dapat diatasi dengan baik.Kata Kunci: Problematika, Pendirian Rumah Ibadah Agama Buddha, Kota Tangerang
Understanding the role of subpopulations and reliability in between-group studies
Authors: Wang Selena , De Boeck Paul
Published: March 2020

The replication crisis has led to a renewed discussion about the impacts of measurement quality on the precision of psychology research. High measurement quality is associated with low measurement error, yet the relationship between reliability and measurement error is not yet well understood. In this study, we attempt to understand the role of reliability in the replication research through its relationship with power. We outline a latent variable framework to understand this nuanced relationship through their equations. We ﬁnd that, under the inﬂuence of the latent variable variance, reliability and power can be negatively associated. We proceed to demonstrate the impact of this relationship between reliability and power in replication research by imitating diﬀerent scenarios of large-scale replications. We ﬁnd negative correlations between reliability and power when there are sizable diﬀerences in the latent variable variance and negligible diﬀerences in the other parameters across studies. Finally, we apply our conclusions to the data from replications of the ego depletion eﬀect (Hagger et al., 2016) and the replications of the grammatical aspect eﬀect (Eerland et al., 2016). The applications show that a negative relationship between reliability and power is a realistic possibility, which eliminates doubts one might have about the applicability of our results to the applied work.
Konflik Perilaku Keagamaan Dogmatis dan Fundamentalis Guru Agama Buddha
Authors: warsito
Published: March 2020

Dalam menyampaikan materi pelajaran guru agama Buddha perlu menggunakan pendekatan psikologis, sesuai dengan latar belakang mereka dan menjelaskan materi pokok secara mendalam, terperinci dan jelas. Kondisi dan situasi saat ini dikatakan kondisi kurang ideal dimana dalam dalam menyampaikan materi pelajaran kepada siswa berlawanan pandangannya. Guru agama Buddha harus menyesuaikan praktik dan gagasan yang sudah ada, dengan menyampaikan pelajarannya sesuai dengan karakter pendengarnya (upaya kausalya) yaitu keterampilan yang bijaksana untuk mengubah cara pandang masyarakat. Pada kenyataannya ada guru agama Buddha yang menjelaskan materi pelajaran yang diarahkan pada sekte tertentu karena pedoman yang dijadikan patokan seorang guru adalah perangkat pembelajaran yang diarahkan pada sekte tertentu pula. Hal ini berdampak pada keberlangsungan pendidikan yakni terdapat siswa yang tidak mengikuti ajaran agama Buddha dikarenakan ajaran yang ditanamkan orang tua berbeda dengan yang diajarkan di sekolah. Penanaman sikap dogmatis terus dilakukan sehingga tumbuh sikap-sikap fundamentalis terhadap ajaran agama. Bila dalam ajaran agama dijelaskan mengenai manusia yang memilki potensi untuk berperilaku baik atau buruk. Jika potensi perilaku baik seseorang lemah, karena tidak berkembang (melalui pendidikan), maka perilaku manusia dalam hidupnya akan mengalami kemerosotan sehingga akan timbul perbuatan-perbuatan buruk seperti membunuh, mencuri, berzina, berdusta dan minum-minuman keras.Agar perbuatan buruk dapat dikendalikan, dalam arti pemenuhannya sesuai dengan ajaran agama, maka potensi berperilaku baik itu harus dikembangkan, yaitu melalui pendidikan agama dari sejak usia dini. Apabila nilai-nilai agama telah terinternalisasi dalam diri seseorang maka dia akan mampu mengembangkan dirinya sebagai manusia bermoral, yang salah satu karakteristiknya adalah mampu mengendalikan diri dari pemuasan hawa nafsu yang tidak sesuai dengan ajaran agama.Kata Kunci: Konflik Perilaku, Keagamaan Dogmatis dan Fundamentalis, Guru Agama Buddha

الحروف الحُنْجُرِيّة في اللغة العربية

تحتوي اللغة العربية على أصوات منطوقة ولكنها غير مكتوبة بشكل رسمي، مثل أصوات حرفي الجيم والقاف، التي سأسميها هنا "الحروف الحُنْجُرِيّة" لأنها تُنطق من الحنجرة أو أقصى الفم في كثير من الكلمات العربية، ولكنها لا تُكتب، في صوتها الذي يشبه صوت حرف الجيم الإنكليزي كما في كلمة "جرين" (أخضر) و "جولد" (ذهب)، وكذلك حرف الگاف (العجمية) الذي يُلفظ بدمج ثلاثة حروف (تاء وشين وجيم) وتسكينها "تْشْجْ" كما في كلمة "شوكليت" شوكولا ولكنه غير مكتوب أيضاً. لذا، أدعو مجامع اللغة العربية واللغويين لاعتماد هذه الحروف لفظاً ورسماً لتحقيق عدة فوائد لغوية، منها تسهيل التعريب العلمي للمصطلحات الأجنبية عندما لا يكون هناك مرادف عربي واضح وصريح لكلمات تحتوي تلك الحروف في اللغات الأجنبية (مثل جهاز "جولجي" في الخلية الحية، و "غاز"، و"جوجل"، إلخ
Fuzzy constructs in technology usage scales
Authors: Davidson Brittany I , Shaw Heather , Ellis David Alexander
Published: March 2020

The mass adoption of digital technologies raises questions about how they impact people and society. Associations between technology use and negative correlates (e.g., depression and anxiety) remain common. However, pre-registered studies have failed to replicate these findings. Regardless of direction, many designs rely on psychometric scales that claim to define and quantify a construct associated with technology engagement. These often suggest clinical manifestations present as disorders or addictions. Given their importance for research integrity, we consider what these scales might be measuring. Across three studies, we observe that many psychometric scales align with a single, identical construct despite claims they capture something unique. We conclude that many technology measures appear to measure a similar, poorly defined construct that sometimes overlaps with pre-existing measures of well-being. Social scientists should critically consider how they proceed methodologically and conceptually when developing psychometric scales in this domain to ensure research findings sit on solid foundations.
Weathering the Storm: Supernatural belief and cooperation in an insecure world
Authors: McNamara Rita Anne
Published: March 2020

Religious and supernatural beliefs may facilitate social life by promoting and sustaining cooperation, but the specific cooperation problems each society faces may lead to unique belief systems adapted to local socio-ecological conditions. As societies mix and belief systems spread, local and introduced belief systems may present conflicting solutions to the same social problem. How do we choose among these different solutions? The present study recruits participation from villagers living on Yasawa Island, Fiji (N=179), who espouse both Christian and traditional beliefs that promote different expectations about local and distant others. This study focuses on the relationships among existential/ resource insecurity and supernatural beliefs across these belief systems using an experimental priming procedure and a dictator game to allocate food resources. Though reminders of insecurity had no impact on allocations, the effects of being reminded of Christian or Traditional belief depended on (was moderated by) how worried participants were about resource availability and beliefs about the Christian God’s tendency toward punishment or forgiveness. Analyses of interview data suggest Christian and Traditional imagery may evoke different conceptions of Gods as either supportive (Christian) or authoritarian (Traditional). Results highlight belief content as key for sustaining different social support networks and traditional belief/ knowledge systems as a source of community resilience against threats like natural disasters.
I haven’t a clue! - Expectations based on repetitions and hints facilitate perceptual experience of ambiguous images
Authors: Hertz Uri , Blakemore Colin , Frith Chris D.
Published: March 2020

In recent years the role of top-down expectations on perception has been extensively researched within the framework of predictive coding. However, less attention has been given to the different sources of expectations, how they differ and how they interact. Here we examined the effects of informative hints on perceptual experience, and how these interact with repetition-based expectations to create a long-lasting effect. Over seven experiments, we used verbal hints and multiple presentations of ambiguous two-tone images. We found that vividness ratings increased from one presentation to the next, even after the object in the image had been identified. In addition, vividness ratings significantly increased when images were introduced with a hint, and this boost was greater for more detailed hints. However, the initial increase in vividness did not always carry over to the next presentation. When recognition of the image in the presentation was hard, due to memory load, inconsistent presentation, or noise level of the image, the initial advantage in vividness was attenuated. This was most apparent when participants were primed with greyscale version of the two-tone image. A computational model based on evidence accumulation was able to recover these patterns of perceptual experience, suggesting that the effect of hints is short lived if it cannot be encoded in memory for future presentations. This notion highlights the different contributions of attention, memory and their interactions on forming expectations for perception.
Are all code-switches processed the same? Examining semantic v. language unexpectancy
Authors: Valdés Kroff Jorge , Roman Patricia , Dussias Paola E.
Published: March 2020

Prior studies using the event-related potential (ERP) technique show that integrating sentential code-switches in online processing lead to a broadly distributed late positivity component while processing semantically unexpected continuations instead lead to the emergence of an N400 effect. While the N400 is generally assumed to index lexico-semantic processing, the LPC has two different interpretations. One account suggests that it reflects the processing of an improbable or unexpected event while an alternative account proposes sentence-level reanalysis. To investigate the relative costs of semantic to language-based unexpectancies (i.e., code-switches), the current study tests 24 Spanish-English bilinguals in an ERP reading study. Semantically constrained Spanish frames either varied in their semantic expectancy (high vs low expectancy) and/or their language continuation (same language vs code-switch) while participants’ electrophysiological responses were recorded. The Spanish-to-English switch direction provides a more naturalistic test for integration costs to code-switching as it better approximates the code-switching practices of the target population. Analyses across three time windows show a main effect for semantic expectancy in the N400 time window and a main effect for code-switching in the LPC time window. Additional analyses based on the self-reported code-switching experience of the participants suggested an early positivity linked to less experience with code-switching. The results suggest that not all code-switches lead to similar integration costs and that prior experience with code-switching is an important additional factor that modulates online processing.
Fluid movements enhance creative fluency: A replication of Slepian and Ambady (2012)
Authors: Imaizumi Shu , Tagami Ubuka , Yang Yi
Published: March 2020

Bodily movements representing abstract concepts (e.g., fluidity) can affect divergent creative thinking. A recent study showed that participants who performed fluid arm movements by tracing curved line-drawings (the fluid condition) subsequently generated a larger number of more original alternative uses for newspapers than did those who traced angular line-drawings (the non-fluid condition). This suggests that fluid movements enhance fluency and originality in divergent creative thinking. To replicate these findings, we employed the same task with a larger Japanese sample. Participants in the fluid condition generated more uses for newspapers than in the non-fluid condition, regardless of confounding variables: mood, subjective difficulty of the tracing, and daily use of newspapers. In contrast to previous findings, there were no effects on originality. Our results suggest that fluidity enacted by arm movements robustly enhances creative fluency, although other factors (e.g., culture) could interfere with its effect on originality.
Evade and Deceive? Citizen Responses to Surveillance
Authors: Eck Kristine , Hatz Sophia Gabrielle Levin , Crabtree Charles , TAGO ATSUSHI
Published: March 2020

How does state surveillance influence citizens’ willingness to express political and social opinions? This article theorizes about different citizen responses to surveillance which fall on what we term the evasion-deception spectrum, including preference falsification, self-censorship, and opting-out. We present the results from an empirical exploration of these responses, drawing on an online survey experiment conducted in Japan. In our survey, we use a novel experimental stimulus to assess whether individuals engage in different forms of evasion and deception when plausibly under government surveillance. The study finds that citizens are substantially more likely to opt-out of sharing their opinions (by exiting a survey) when reminded of their government’s capacity for monitoring. This occurs even when it implies a monetary cost (forfeiting payment for the survey) and even in a fully consolidated democracy, where freedoms of speech and opinion are legally codified. We conclude by discussing the implications of this finding for democratic deliberation and citizen-state relations.

Microbioma cutáneo, disbiosis y su rol en dermatitis atópica
Authors: Ruiz Guzmán Daniela , Barquero Orias Daniel Esteban
Published: March 2020

El microbioma cutáneo está compuesto por una variedad extensa de microorganismos, este se ve modificado por diversos factores y es dinámico, ya que existen variaciones a lo largo de la vida. Los microorganismos y el huésped viven bajo una relación de simbiosis, en el momento que este sistema se rompe, se produce la disbiosis y esta tiene una influencia importante en la dermatitis atópica. Se reporta que existe un alta colonizacion de los pacientes enfermos por el Staphylococcus aureus y esto concuerda con la mayoría de los estudios donde se determina el microbioma de piel lesional y no lesional de pacientes con dermatitis atópica. Otros factores como las mutaciones en la proteína filagrina aumentan la susceptibilidad de colonización por S.aureus.  Por otro lado, también se han encontrado agentes microbianos con capacidades inhibitorias sobre los microorganismos patógenos y se les ha atribuido un rol protector; este hallazgo motivó a algunos autores a utilizarlos como tratamientos alternativos e inclusive en uso combinado con terapia tópica como los emolientes. Adicionalmente, se reporta el restablecimiento de la microbiota con tratamientos convencionales como los humectantes, corticoesteroides, inhibidores de calcineurina y fototerapia. Múltiples estrategias se han estudiado con el fin de restablecer la biodiversidad cutánea en un intento de buscar tratamientos eficaces que actúan sobre la modificación de los procesos de disbiosis asociados con esta enfermedad.

La varicela es una enfermedad causada por el virus de varicela zóster y es altamente contagiosa. Se manifiesta por medio de un exantema pruriginoso maculopapular, con vesículas y costras. Se presenta principalmente en la infancia y brinda inmunidad para toda la vida. La varicela se presenta mundialmente y tiene un curso autolimitado y benigno en la mayoría de casos, sin embargo si se presenta una primoinfección en el embarazo hay riesgo de a neumonitis materna, síndrome de varicela congénito, varicela neonatal, las cuales presenta un índice de mortalidad del 30%. En la actualidad se cuenta con medidas preventivas, como es la vacuna contra varicela para mujeres en edad fértil, y en casos de mujeres gestantes y neonatos, se cuenta con la inmunoglobulina contra varicela zóster, además del tratamiento con antivirales como aciclovir y valaciclovir.

El tromboembolismo venoso hace referencia a un grupo de enfermedades tromboembólicas las cuales abarcan la trombosis venosa profunda, el tromboembolismo pulmonar y la tromboflebitis superficial. La relevancia de esta patología se debe a que es la tercera enfermedad cardiovascular más importante por su alta tasa de morbilidad y mortalidad. Se puede sospechar su diagnóstico por la presentación clínica del paciente, sin embargo, el diagnóstico final se establece mediante valoración de riesgo pretest, laboratorios y estudios de imágenes. El uso de anticoagulantes ya sean parenterales o anticoagulantes orales directos, es la base del tratamiento para esta patología. Un tratamiento certero y a tiempo disminuye la probabilidad de complicaciones lo que implica mejorar la calidad de vida en estos pacientes.

La cetoacidosis diabética y el estado hiperglicémico hiperosmolar son patologías definidas por la hiperglicemia, pero con características específicas que permiten diferenciar un cuadro del otro. Su incidencia es baja, pero de no ser tratadas a tiempo, se puede comprometer el estado del paciente y conducirlo a la muerte. Son procesos que usualmente se presentan en pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo 1; esto no quiere decir que no puedan afectar a personas con diabetes mellitus tipo 2. Ambas patologías se manifiestan agudamente con fatiga, polidipsia, poliuria, pérdida de peso, dolor abdominal, náuseas, vómitos y alteración del estado de conciencia, además de presentar anomalías en las pruebas de laboratorio como descenso en el pH, bicarbonato disminuido y alteraciones electrolíticas. El tratamiento es vital, el cual debe incluir una hidratación precoz, utilización de una infusión de insulina y corrección de la deficiencia de potasio, la acidosis metabólica y la depleción de fosfato.
