Efecto Facilitador del Contexto Verbal Congruente en el Reconocimiento de las Expresiones de Asco e Ira
Authors: Lamas González Beatriz , León Fernando Gordillo , Pérez Miguel Ángel
Published: September 2020

Las expresiones faciales de la emoción son estímulos con un alto valor adaptativo que atraen de manera prioritaria la atención. Por otro lado, el lenguaje podría incrementar el acceso al conocimiento conceptual, facilitando el reconocimiento de una expresión facial congruente con la información verbal. Este efecto de priming emocional se ha demostrado consistente en diferentes estudios, pero pocos lo han analizado teniendo en cuenta expresiones faciales de asco e ira. Este será el objetivo de la presente investigación. Participaron 50 estudiantes universitarios con edades comprendidas entre los 18 y los 34 años. Se utilizaron 10 palabras de asco 10 palabras de ira y 10 neutras. También se utilizaron 30 expresiones faciales de asco, ira y neutralidad, obtenidas de la base de datos NimStimFace Stimulus Set (Tottenham et al., 2009). Los resultados evidenciaron un efecto de facilitación en la tasa de aciertos tanto para la expresión de ira, como para la expresión de asco, cuando el prime era congruente emocionalmente. Por otro lado solo se observó una facilitación en los tiempos de respuesta para la expresión de ira cuando venía precedida de una prime verbal congruente. Se discuten los resultados dentro del enfoque constructivista de la emoción.

Authors: Méndez Rangel Fernando , Rivera Aragón Sofía , Reyes Lagunes Lucina Isabel , Flores Galaz Mirta Margarita , Lucio Gómez Maqueo María Emilia
Published: September 2020

La investigación sobre las relaciones de noviazgo en la adolescencia se ha visto frenada por diversos factores (Collins,2003). La mayor parte de estudios sobre el tema se ha realizado con población juvenil y/o anglosajona; además, los cambios en su concepción han generado pocos los instrumentos que sirven para evaluar el fenómeno del noviazgo en adolescentes, y sus diferentes elementos. Por tal motivo, el propósito de este estudio fue analizar psicométricamente el Inventario Multidimensional de Noviazgo para Adolescentes (IMNOV-A). Participaron voluntariamente 503 adolescentes, con una edad entre 12 y 18 años (M = 15.71; D.E. = 1.78), que habían experimentado una relación de noviazgo, por lo menos una vez en la vida. A partir del método propuesto por Reyes Lagunes y García (2008), el inventario quedó constituido por la Subescala de Significado del Noviazgo (53.81% de la varianza total explicada, α = .886), y la Subescala de Motivos del Noviazgo (55.52% de la varianza total explicada, α = .938). Los resultados obtenidos se analizan desde la literatura sobre el desarrollo adolescente y los cambios en sus relaciones interpersonales; entonces, el significado y los motivos del noviazgo obedecen a los objetivos de esta etapa: obtener una identidad (Nahoul & González, 2013) y satisfacer necesidades socio-afectivas (Rice, 2001). Con esto, se plantea una medición más eficaz y eficiente sobre estas dimensiones del noviazgo, lo que da pie a continuar con esta línea de investigación e identificar los factores psicosociales que se relacionan con este fenómeno presente en la vida de esta población.
Adaptación de la Lista Checable de Trastorno por Estrés Postraumático para DSM-5 en Población Mexicana
Authors: Durón Figueroa Raúl
Published: September 2020

La Lista Checable de Trastorno por Estrés Postraumático (PCL) ha sido una de las escalas más aplicadas en el ámbito clínico, misma que ha sido adaptada recientemente a los criterios del DSM-5 (PCL-5). Considerando la problemática que representa el TEPT en la población y los cambios recientes propuestos en el DSM-5, resulta importante contar con escalas validadas en México con base a los nuevos criterios diagnósticos descritos. El presente trabajo describe las propiedades psicométricas para la validación en población mexicana de la PCL-5, donde se contó con 204 estudiantes universitarios del sistema abierto de la UNAM, de 18 a 59 años, reclutados a través de una plataforma virtual. Los resultados mostraron una adecuada consistencia interna (.97), así como una validez convergente apropiada (rs = .58 a .88). A su vez, se realizaron distintos análisis factoriales exploratorios y confirmatorios donde se obtuvieron ajustes adecuados a los modelos planteados en el DSM-5 y estudios previos de la escala original. Se concluye que la escala es válida y confiable en población mexicana, lo que la convierte en el único instrumento adaptado al DSM-5 para la evaluación del TEPT en dicho contexto. Sin embargo, se recomiendan estudios adicionales con un mayor control sobre distintos tipos de trauma para mejor descripción del constructo.
Validación de la Escala de Esquemas Maladaptativos Tempranos para Niños
Authors: Pedroza Atitlán Marcela
Published: September 2020

Los Esquemas Maladaptativos Tempranos son patrones emocionales y cognitivos que alteran de manera negativa el procesamiento de la información y modifican la percepción de uno mismo y de las relaciones interpersonales (Young et al., 2003). Puesto que el único instrumento en español que evalúa esquemas maladaptativos tempranos en niños cuenta únicamente con análisis exploratorios, los objetivos de este estudio fueron confirmar la estructura de la Escala de Esquemas Maladaptativos Tempranos para niños de 8 a 12 años de edad (Pedroza, 2014) y obtener la validez de criterio y la confiabilidad de la escala. Se seleccionó una muestra no probabilística de 421 estudiantes de primarias particulares de la ciudad de Cancún, el 59.9% fueron niñas y el 40.1% niños, con una media de edad (de 9.8 años). Los resultados obtenidos en los análisis factoriales confirmatorios efectuados indicaron que los datos se ajustan al modelo teórico cuando se analizan por separado cada uno de los dominios. En relación a la validez de criterio, los resultados obtenidos mostraron correlaciones significativas de todos los esquemas con los factores de las escalas de depresión y de ansiedad. Los índices de confiabilidad fueron entre α= .73 a α= .87para las dimensiones y de α= 0.94 para la escala total. Se concluye que este instrumento puede ser válido y confiable para la evaluación de Esquemas maladaptativo en niños.
Mitos sobre la Agresión Sexual: Validación de una Escala en Universitarios en México
Authors: Viñas Velázquez Bertha Margarita
Published: September 2020

La agresión sexual es un problema psicosocial muy poco reconocido debido a los mitos a su alrededor, graduados y mediatizados por la cultura del grupo social (Caballero, 2006). En el presente estudio se asume la agresión sexual como la base para todo tipo de violencia de tipo sexual. Se realizaron dos estudios, el primero valida la escala AMMSA, en versión mexicana, originalmente desarrollada en Alemania (Gerger, Kley, Bohner, & Siebler, 2007); el segundo, determina el grado de aceptación de los mitos de agresión sexual en estudiantes universitarios del Norte de México. La muestra no probabilística fue de 128 y 400 estudiantes para cada estudio, respectivamente. Los resultados del primer estudio indican una consistencia interna de la versión mexicana del AMMSA (α = .93), concordantes con los resultados de la prueba original (α entre .90 y .95); y la externa, presenta una correlación positiva alta y significativa con la versión mexicana del Inventario de Sexismo Ambivalente (r = .68, p < .001), demostrando propiedades psicométricas adecuadas. Se encontró mayor aceptación de los mitos de agresión sexual entre los hombres en comparación a las mujeres, y el menor grado de aceptación de estos en la Facultad de Medicina y Psicología.
Prejudice towards Immigrants: Competences Elicit Stonger and more Favorable Sentiments
Authors: Bueno Elia Hilda , Mendez Roque V.
Published: September 2020

We examined prejudice and discrimination toward immigrants, specifically Mexican immigrants, as a function of their perceived competence and warmth, and the perceiver’s agreeableness, attitudes and acculturation level. We found that an immigrant’s competence evoked stronger feelings and responses than their warmth.  Moreover, pre-existing attitudes strongly predicted prejudices toward immigrants. Of the Big Five variables, only Agreeableness predicted positive sentiments and actions toward immigrants. Finally, acculturation within Latinos correlated negatively with positive feelings and actions toward immigrants.  More acculturated Latinos were less welcoming of immigrants.  The results are partially explained by the Stereotypic Content Model.

Authors: Bretaña Ione , Alonso-Arbiol Itziar , Lavy Shiri , Zhang Fang
Published: September 2020

The aim of this study was to compare levels of attachment, conflict resolution strategies and marital satisfaction in women from Israel, United States, Turkey, and Spain (N = 343). A sample of individuals involved in a romantic relationship at ages 18-68 (M = 35.4, SD = 11.83) completed measures of attachment dimensions, conflict resolution strategies, and marital satisfaction. Tucker Phi coefficients revealed the same structure of the scales across all countries. Mean comparisons were used. Differences were observed among women from Israel, Turkey, USA, and Spain in attachment (avoidant and anxiety), as well as in own conflict resolution strategies and in perception of partner’s conflict resolution strategies. In individualistic countries, women reported using conflict withdrawal to a higher extent. Women from collectivistic cultures showed higher levels of avoidant attachment and of use of demand strategy. No cultural differences in women’s marital satisfaction were observed. Results are discussed in light of the combined possible effects of cultural dimensions and individual variables.
Rebound Effect, Fast Adaptation to Social Change or Cultural Continuity among Two Generations of Hungarians
Authors: Fülöp Márta , Ivaskevics Krisztián , Varga Bálazs András , Sebestyén Nóra
Published: September 2020

The aim of the present research was to reveal what kind of values, self-conceptualisation and beliefs of personhood characterize two generations of Hungarians, almost three decades after the socio-political changes from socialism to capitalist market economy. Participants were high school students (N = 239) and adults (N = 122). Value-orientation was measured using the Portrait Value Questionnaire (PVQ, Schwartz et al, 2001), beliefs of personhood were measured by the Lay Contextualism Scale (Owe et al., 2013). Self-construals were measured in case of the high school students by using 23 items from Gudykunst et al. (1996) self-construal scale and in case of the adults a modified version of it (Owe et al., 2013).  Results indicate that in the post-socialist Hungary, individualistic values and independent self-concept strongly characterize both the high school students and the adults, but the younger generation displays higher tendency towards individualism.
Resistencia a la Interferencia de Distractores: Diseño y Aplicación de una Tarea de Entrenamiento para Niños
Authors: Aydmune Yesica
Published: September 2020

Desde la perspectiva no unitaria de la inhibición, la resistencia a la interferencia de los distractores refiere al proceso inhibitorio que participa en la atención selectiva; experimenta durante la infancia importantes cambios en su desarrollo y resulta fundamental para el desempeño de los niños en diversas actividades. Este trabajo se propuso diseñar una tarea de entrenamiento -informatizada, con un abordaje basado en procesos y a partir del paradigma de Flancos (Eriksen & Eriksen, 1974)- de este proceso inhibitorio, para niños con desarrollo típico de 6 a 8 años de edad; administrarla y analizar los efectos del entrenamiento sobre el proceso entrenado y otros no entrenados. Se trabajó con 54 niños, en 1º, 2º y 3º año de la escolaridad primaria. Se aplicó un diseño experimental con medidas pre y post-test (donde se administraron tareas de evaluación de resistencia a la interferencia de los distractores, inhibición de la respuesta y memoria de trabajo viso-espacial), un grupo experimental (que recibió el entrenamiento de la resistencia a la interferencia de distractores) y un grupo control activo. Luego de la intervención el grupo experimental presentó un mejor desempeño en una tarea que demanda el proceso entrenado. No se encontraron efectos sobre el rendimiento en otras tareas. Los efectos hallados son bajos, pudiendo deberse a la baja intensidad y duración de la intervención. Sin embargo, podrían constituir un aporte a la diferenciación de procesos inhibitorios, específicamente de la resistencia a la interferencia de distractores respecto y de la inhibición de la respuesta, en tanto el entrenamiento genera efectos en el proceso entrenado pero no el otro.

Authors: Aguilera Sosa Víctor Ricardo
Published: September 2020

The obesity is a global health problem, also it is increasing in adults and pediatric population, reducing life quality. Treatment must be interdisciplinary with elements of behavior modification on self-control, habit modifications, support networks and highlighting to adherence. Cognitive behavioral therapy, specifically on problem solving model, is efficient in treatment of anthropometric control, metabolic and behavioral indicators. Methods: Quasi-experimental, comparative, clinical and randomized study, n=100 adults of both sexes with an exogenous obesity diagnostic. The intervention was performed with an interdisciplinary treatment of cognitive behavioral therapy on problem solving model and 3mg. (0-0-1) of melatonin (50 subjects), comparing it with a group that only received the treatment by melatonin 3mg. (0-0-1) (50 subjects) per 8 months; the anthropometry and blood biochemical values (glucose, triglycerides, HDL and LDL) was evaluated after and before; dropout rate and adherence to the drug was evaluated every month. A bioimpedance machine was used. Results: The analysis demonstrated in eight months that the problem solving model with melatonin group got an adherence average of 80% (p= .05); in comparison with melatonin group that showed an average of 48% (p= .05). Relating to anthropometry and blood biochemical values, problem solving model and melatonin group got better effectiveness (p= .05). Conclusions Cognitive behavioral therapy combined with melatonin, was more effective in anthropometric indicators, blood chemistry and mainly in adherence, confirming the importance of the incursion of effective psychological techniques that contribute to the management of obesity.

Authors: Moran Valeria Estefanía
Published: September 2020

Las principales herramientas de evaluación de la personalidad se construyeron a partir de las bases teóricas del modelo de los Cinco Factores. Particularmente, en Argentina, el IPIP-NEO es uno de los instrumentos, basados en este modelo, que presenta resultados satisfactorios en los estudios de consistencia interna (confiabilidad) y de validez mediante evidencia de estructura interna (análisis factorial exploratorio). El objetivo de este trabajo fue aportar nuevos estudios psicométricos a la escala utilizando una muestra heterogénea de argentinos (N = 499). Se estimó la estabilidad temporal de las puntuaciones a través del método test-retest y se realizó un estudio de validez de estructura interna mediante análisis factorial confirmatorio. Por otro lado, se aportó validez externa a traves de estudios de convergencia, estudios de contraste de grupos divididos por sexo y edad, y un análisis test criterio mediante regresión múltiple con actividades recreativas. Los resultados sugieren que las puntuaciones que del IPIP-NEO son estables, con adecuados índices de confiabilidad y evidencias de validez externa, lo que indica que puede ser utilizado en muestras argentinas. Se planifica la elaboración de un baremo local y nuevos estudios de validez externa con implicancias clínicas y laborales.

The early years of “Cia. City” in São Paulo (1911-1915): reviewing a lacuna
Authors: D’Elboux Roseli Maria Martins
Published: September 2020

The present text proposes a historical review of the development and implantation of the first projects of the City of San Paulo Improvements and Freehold Land Co. Ltd., later known as Cia. City, together with its authorship, in view of the lacuna observed in the initial process of the company’s operation, between 1912 and 1915. Jardim América was considered the first project implemented by Cia. City in São Paulo and was developed in 1915. During the years prior to this, the company commercialized small previously urbanized lots, similar to many other real estate companies operating in São Paulo at the time. The review and collation of primary sources have demonstrated when the company’s technical framework began operating in São Paulo, and the initial guidelines that marked the design and implementation of the first projects, namely, Pacaembu, Butantã, Alto da Lapa and the Garden City, named Jardim América in 1917.

Risikobaseret regulering som tillidsbevarende mekanisme i en uforudsigelig verden – rationaler, dilemmaer og paradokser
Authors: Henriksen Per
Published: September 2020

Den moderne verden er kompleks og dynamisk. Usikkerhed og uforudsigelighed råder, og det stiller store krav til den måde, vi forvalter de samfundsmæssige processer på. For i en usikker verden er tilliden til samfundets centrale institutioner og de systemiske organisationer af endnu større betydning, når vi skal opretholde et velfungerende velfærdssamfund. Alligevel oplever vi en række sager, f.eks. relateret til SKAT, sundhedssektoren og den finansielle sektor, der udfordrer vores indlejrede oplevelse af tillid til systemet. Men hvorfor får vi disse sager, og kan de undgås? En del af svaret ligger muligvis i det paradoks, at vi konsekvent søger at håndtere usikkerhed og uforudsigelighed ud fra strategier og principper, der er rodfæstet i en verdensopfattelse af forudsigelige kausale sammenhænge. Artiklen argumenterer for, at den opfattelse har konsekvenser, fordi årsags-virknings-sammenhænge ofte kendetegnes ved det stik modsatte, nemlig uigennemskuelighed og deraf, uforudsigelighed. Artiklen tager afsæt i paradigmet om risikobaseret regulering og kontrol som eksponent for  samfundsmæssige strømninger om rationel kausalitet, der har gjort risikostyring til et dominerende, men også tvetydigt svar på næsten alting. På den baggrund diskuteres 3 centrale udfordringer (strategisk ideologi, motiv- / praktik-kobling og risiko- / usikkerheds-tolkning), som risikobaseret regulering bør adressere for at afstemme intention med modernitetens natur. Den overordnede konklusion er, at ureflekteret tiltro til  risikobaseret regulering og kontrol som universel metodik, er en farefyldt vej for samfundskontrakten, fordi paradigmet i praksis ignorerer verdens diskontinuitet og betydningen af samme.
Residency Leader Motivations to Engage Residents and Residency Faculty in Scholarship: A Qualitative Study
Authors: Cafferty Lauren A. , Crawford Paul F. , Jackson Jeremy T. , Ledford Christy J.W.
Published: September 2020

Background and Objectives: Research shows that limited time, lack of funding, difficulty identifying mentors, and lack of technical support limit resident and faculty ability to fully participate in scholarly activity. Most research to date focuses on medical student and resident attitudes toward research. This study aimed to understand the underlying attitudes of family medicine residency (FMR) leaders toward scholarship.
Methods: Two focus groups of family medicine residency leaders were conducted in March 2018. The sample (N=19) was recruited through the membership directory of the Family Physicians Inquiry Network.
Results: Leaders shared positive attitudes toward scholarship; however, motivation to engage residents and residency faculty in scholarship diverged. Motivations for promoting scholarly activity among participants were either extrinsic (through ACGME, program graduation, or promotion requirements) or intrinsic (through personal interest and natural drive).
Conclusions: Emerging themes illustrate differences in how FMR program leaders perceive the role of scholarship in residency programs. As programs aim to increase research and scholarship, more attention must be paid to the motivating messages communicated by the program’s leadership.

Multi-System Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) has been recently described as a newly emerging serious condition linked to COVID-19.
We, hereby, describe and report the clinico-laboratory characteristics of a 2.5-year-old boy who tested positive for SARS-CoV2 and exhibited an image of MIS-C. We seriously want to spotlight this new entity in Saudi Arabia where the peak of SARS-CoV2 is descending whereas MIS-C case might be increasing. The same scenario had occurred in other countries. We recommend reporting possible cases of MIS-C to our local, state, or territorial health department. We expect increased reporting cases of COVID-19-associated MIS-C in Saudi Arabia and Arabian Gulf region.

Published: September 2020

Metode DC-Resistivity konfigurasi Wenner telah diaplikasikan pada situs cagar budaya Cot Sidi Abdullah (CSA) di Desa Kuta Krueng, Kecamatan Samudra Pasai, Kabupaten Aceh Utara. Data geolistrik diukur pada 8 lintasan sejajar dengan spasi lintasan 5 meter dari arah utara - selatan sepanjang situs dan spasi elektroda 0,5 meter. Berdasarkan hasil model penampang 2D diperoleh zona yang bersifat konduktif dengan kisaran nilai resistivitas 0,1 “ 80 â„¦m dan zona resistif dengan nilai reistivitas berkisar antara 100 “ 600 â„¦m dengan ketebalan lapisan 1 meter. Keberadaan zona yang relatif konduktif disebabkan oleh adanya intrusi air asin yang terdapat disekeliling daerah itu, yaitu area tambak dan sungai. Sedangkan zona resistif terdapat secara merata di semua lintasan yang umumnya berada di tengah“tengah lintasan dan dapat diprediksikan sebagai bagian dari situs yang tertimbun dibawah permukaan. Zona resistif berupa batu bata yang berada di sekeliling situs dan menahan intrusi air asin masuk ke tengah. Oleh karena itu bangunan Situs CSA diprediksi memiliki luasan sekitar 26 m x 35 m dengan bangunan sekeliling berupa batu bata dengan ketebalan dinding situs 1,5 meter. Sedangkan bagian tengah adalah timbunan pasir yang tidak dipengaruhi oleh air asin.Kata kunci: Metode geofisika, Arkeologi, Cot Sidi Abdullah, Metode DC - Resistivity, Resolusi Model, RekontruksiThe DC-Resistivity method with Wenner configurations was applied to the cultural heritages of Cot Sidi Abdullah (CSA) in Kuta Krueng Village, Samudra Pasai District, North Aceh Regency. Resistivity data were measured on 8 parallel lines with 5 meterline spacing from north to south of the sites and 0.5 meter electrode spacing. The 2D model results show that there are conductive region with the value of resistivity from 0.1-80 Î©m and resistive region with resistivity values ranging from 100 - 600 with a thickness of 1 meter. The existence of the relatively conductive region is caused by the sea water intrusions which is found surrounding the area, such as fish and river areas. However the resistive region is evenly found in all of the lines which are generally located in the middle of line and it was predicted as a part of Cot Sidi Abdullah site buried under the surface. The resistive region is consist of brick wall structures which surrounding the site can hold the sea water intrusions into the center of the sites. Therefore it can be concluded that the CSA Site has 26 m x 35 m areas which is surrounded by the brick structures with 1.5 meters thick. Howeverthe middle part of the site is filled with a sand material that is not affected by salt water.Key words: Geophysics Method, Archaeology, Cot Sidi Abdullah, DC- Resistivity Method, Model Resolution, Reconstruction

Authors: Khor Mohammad Koohi , Kamalian Amin Raza , Yaghoubi Nour Mohammad , Pourezzat Aliasghar
Published: September 2020

It is widely accepted that in the recent economic downturn, there are many demands for talent, and thus many organisations employ talent management systems to create a competitive advantage. The lack of an integrated talent management process, as a strategic approach, leads to a waste of time, effort, and money. The present study aims to provide an integrated model of talent management using the meta-synthesis approach. This study falls within the category of applied research in terms of purpose and meta-synthesis in terms of methodology. The researchers in this study, in a meta-synthesis way, have carefully scrutinised the topic and combined the findings of both quantitative and qualitative research studies. In this regard, 3615 research studies in the field of talent management and integrated talent management were selected by searching in Web of Science (2008-2018), Magiran, University of Tehran’s magazines, and international databases of papers and books; and finally, based on 106 studies underwent content analysis, dimensions and codes were extracted, and the significance and priority of each one were determined using the Shannon entropy. Based on research findings, management and planning codes for succession, learning, and talented employee involvement; organisational acceptance; and talent strategy relationship with business strategy, progression management, and organisational culture had the highest impact. Finally, according to the extracted components, the proposed model was presented.
Entrepreneurial Opportunities for Malaysian Women in Ageing Care Industry
Authors: Noor Shaista , Md. Isa Filzah
Published: September 2020

Malaysia is a developing country and a drastic increase in the elderly population is recorded from the year 2005, ageing population age 60 and above recorded as 7 %, which is predicted to be doubled to 14 % until the year 2028. Thus, the ageing care industry in Malaysia needs to grow for healthy ageing. The growth of the ageing care industry will help the government to control the issues, especially in elderly care service and residency. Malaysia is still young in elderly care as compared to older countries. There are 365 registered ageing care centres, and women run very few of them. However, women personality attributes such as soft nature, politeness, care, patience fit to the requirement of the ageing care industry. Among Malaysian women, entrepreneurship is on the rise due to governmental support, whereas; women entrepreneurship in the service industry is limited. However, women entry in the ageing care industry will open new avenues to cater to the demand of the ageing population and help to control the issues of the older population. The service industry also carries immense potential for women entrepreneurship. This study is conducted to understand the entrepreneurial opportunities for women in the ageing care industry. The study adopts the qualitative research strategy and focus group conducted with ten women entrepreneurs in the ageing care industry and five experts. The results highlight that initiative should take for the promotion and encouragement of women entry in the ageing care industry. The study recommends the validation and promotion of Malaysian women entrepreneurial activities in the ageing care industry.

Challenges of Revenue Generation in Asa Local Government Area of Kwara State, Nigeria
Authors: Amin Amin , Shittu Raji , Ambali Abdulrauf , Abdullahi Alabi , Bamidele Abdulrasheed Hamza
Published: September 2020

The Asa local government area of Kwara State, Nigeria, is largely challenged by dwindling revenue generation leading to sustained budget deficits and paucity of funds for sustainable development of the area. This paper examined the income generation capacity of the local government and its implications for community development. The study used both primary and secondary data research methodology, which were interpreted and analysed. Findings from the study were that Asa local government generates insufficient revenues from both internal and external sources due to weak federal allocation and irregular remittance of its statutory financial allocation from the state joint account. The capacity of the local government to generate sufficient internal revenue is also challenged by poor tax collection capacity and enforcement policy and embezzlement of a large chunks of internally generated revenue by local government officials. The low revenue generation has reduced the construction of feeder road and community markets, and reduced drug supplies to the local government dispensary. The study concluded that Asa local government lacks adequate capacity to generate the required revenue for community development and recommended better training for the revenue collectors, improved political and financial autonomy for local governments and proper utilisation of revenue generated to improve community development in As a local government.

Published: September 2020

This paper aims to empirically analyze the relationship between government expenditures and economic growth in Malaysia from 1987 to 2016. This study uses the time series data in identifying the economic growth determinants in Malaysia. The Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) is used to establish the relationship between government expenditure which are education expenditure, health expenditure, defense and security expenditure, and social services expenditure towards the economic growth in Malaysia. The findings for this study indicate all the independent variables have a significant relationship towards economic growth in Malaysia where the health expenditure is the most influenced government expenditure component towards the economic growth in Malaysia. These findings may give some overview of policy implications to the policymakers on optimising the effects of government expenditure on economic development.
Effects of Dual-Language Programme (DLP) on the Usage of English Adjectives at Primary School Level in Malaysia
Authors: Ramli Rashida Nasuha , Mohammad Lotfie Maskanah , Md Zamin Ainul Azmin
Published: September 2020

Students from selected Malaysian schools are currently learning Mathematics and Science in English under the DUAL Language Programme. They are exposed to additional hours of English compared to non-DLP ones. This paper investigates the extent to which the extra hours of English language exposure assist primary school students in grasping the morphological structures of English adjectives. The cross-linguistic differences in Malay and English could be one of the main reasons students face difficulties in acquiring English adjectives. Data were collated from two different Year 2 classes involving a DLP and a non-DLP group. Vocabulary Size Test (VST) measured the use of base form of adjectives while Comparative Adjective TEST were used for the comparative ones. Test scores were analysed to gauge the possible significant difference between the control and the experimental groups. The findings reveal that the mean scores for DLP group are not significantly higher than non-DLP group for both tests.

Supervisão pedagógica: função do professor cooperante na escola durante o estágio
Authors: Lopes Natália
Published: September 2020

Após a formação académica (onde se passa por diversas disciplinas, todas importantes e relevantes) surge o contacto direto com a realidade profissional - o Estágio Pedagógico (requisito curricular obrigatório), onde os alunos que ainda não exercem a docência podem aprender com aqueles que já possuem experiências na atividade docente e que exercem uma supervisão pedagógica eficiente e determinada que integre o estagiário no universo da escola – o professor cooperante. O presente artigo tem como objetivo primordial apresentar o perfil/papel do professor cooperante nos estágios supervisionados no âmbito da docência no ensino básico e as suas contribuições nesta caminhada sob a sua ótica, já que este desempenha um papel essencial para a concretização do estágio favorecendo a articulação entre a instituição de ensino superior (professor orientador de estágio), estagiário e a escola onde se realiza o estágio. O locus deste texto é portanto a orientação do estagiário por parte do professor cooperante da escola básica, e não por parte do professor orientador.

nuevos modos de hacer y actuar en el ámbito educativo. Los diferentes agentes tienen, por lo tanto, que adaptarse a estos avances. La formación profesional en modalidad de dual, juntamente con la relación entre el alumnado con la sociedad-entorno-entidades hace que el docente tenga que buscar nuevos modelos de formación y de seguimiento que pasan por momentos significativos de no presencialidad. El objetivo de la presente aportación pretende mostrar diferentes herramientas utilizadas en la FP dual para el ciclo de grado superior de Enseñanza y animación sociodeportiva. Se comprueba que la utilización de diferentes herramientas permite una tutorización-seguimiento del alumnado de modo integral y desde diferentes puntos de vista, lo que permite una atención más individualizada, real y también funcional. Se proponen estas herramientas para otros modelos de formación, aunque habrá que adaptarlas a las características propias de cada enseñanza
