Remaja memiliki beberapa tugas perkembangan, diantaranya yaitu memilih dan merencanakan karir, apabila remaja mampu menyelesaikan tugas tersebut maka dianggap telah mencapai kematangan karir. Banyak faktor yang mempengaruhi kematangan karir pada individu, salah satunya yaitu faktor eksternal berupa lingkungan sosial budaya. Suku Minangkabau dikenal budaya tinggal di surau bagi pemuda. Surau di Minangkabau selain memiliki fungsi sebagai tempat beribadah namun juga juga berfungsi sebagai lembaga pendidikan islam tradisional tidak hanya untuk meningkatkan kemampuan intelektual namun juga untuk membentuk karakter dan kepribadian pemuda Minangkabau melalui kegiatan belajar agama, nilai-nilai kehidupan, bersilat, keterampilan berkomunikasi. Kemudian pada akhir tahun 50-an, eksistensi surau di Minangkabau mulai menurun dikarenakan terjadi pergolakan Pemerintahan Revolusioner Republik Indonesia (PRRI) di Sumatera Barat yang menimbulkan trauma psikologis bagi masyarakat Minangkabau sehingga mulai meninggalkan identitas Minangnya, salah satunya budaya tinggal di surau. Ketika zaman reformasi, melalui UU No. 22 Tahun 1999 Minangkabau kembali menggalakkan budaya tinggal di surau dengan gerakan Baliak ka Surau. Dimana dalam teknis pelaksanaannya direlevansikan dengan kemajuan zaman di abad ke-21 ini. Kajian ini menggunakan metode kepustakaan (library research). Tujuan dari tulisan ini yaitu menyajikan analisis kematangan karir pemuda di Minangkabau melalui Budaya Baliak ka Surau. Budaya Baliak ka surau perlu kita lestarikan mengingat kompleksnya fungsi dan manfaat surau bagi pemuda Minangkabau.

Is a Municipal Sales Tax Compatible with VAT?
Authors: Angles Juanpere Benja
Published: May 2021

This paper analyses the Judgement of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) of 7 August 2018, case C-475/17, on the request for a preliminary ruling made by the Estonia Supreme Court on the compatibility between the municipal sales tax, which said country’s legislation allows municipalities to establish, and value added tax (VAT), which is Community-wide in scope. Pursuant to its interpretation of the VAT Directive, the CJEU concluded that this municipal tax is compatible with VAT and therefore endorses its levying. Based on an analysis of said Judgement, this paper assesses its potential transference into domestic Spanish legislation, be this within the current legal framework or as a possible new tax type within a future reform of the local finance system.

The Relationship Between the Emotional Intelligence of a 21st Century Adult and His or Her Parental Competence
Authors: Șițoiu Andreea , Pânișoară Georgeta
Published: May 2021

According to Bar-On and Parker (2011) emotional intelligence is a set of skills that positively influences a person's ability to adapt to environmental requirements. Parental competence is also defined as a function specific to parents, while also representing the style in which they fulfill their parental responsibilities. (Johnson et al., 2014) The main purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between parents' emotional intelligence and parental competence. The results obtained showed that parental competence does not depend entirely on the level of emotional intelligence of the parent. Following the distribution between the level of parental competence and the level of emotional intelligence, it was demonstrated that those parents who recorded a high score of parental competence (80-100 points), did not obtain the highest values ​​of parental competence. Through the distribution of the values ​​of the emotional intelligence coefficient according to gender, the female gender obtained higher values ​​of emotional intelligence compared to the male gender. The positive value of the Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.12 indicates that the level of emotional intelligence of adults positively influences the perception of parenthood in the form of a reward. Emotional intelligence is also applicable in the field of parenting, helping to improve the perception of adults on the challenges encountered in the process of educating the child. This research provides new opportunities to investigate the impact that a parent's emotional intelligence and parenting skills have on a child's development.

Heidegger en torno a la conexión entre phýsis y alétheia
Authors: Vigo Alejandro G.
Published: May 2021

El presente trabajo ofrece un intento de reconstrucción del modo en el que Heidegger llega a su peculiar interpretación de la conexión entre φύσις y ἀλήθεια, que constituye un elemento clave de la «hermenéutica de los dos comienzos» presentada en Beiträge zur Philosophie, y que juega de allí en más un papel importantísimo en el marco del «giro» (Kehre) que da lugar al «pensar ontohistórico» (seinsgeschichtliches Denken). A tal fin se considera el modo en que Heidegger interpreta el pensamiento de Heráclito. Además de intentar aportar a una mejor comprensión del desarrollo interno del pensamiento heideggeriano, la discusión apunta también a hacer posible una evaluación crítica de la plausibilidad de construcción interpretativa elaborada por Heidegger.
Repensando la onto-teo-logía hoy
Authors: Pérez Borbujo Fernando
Published: May 2021

El pensamiento de Gianni Vattimo, padre del pensiero débole, se sitúa conscientemente en el marco de una historia de la metafísica, que tiene en Nietzsche y Heidegger, dos de los representantes más señeros de uno de sus giros o momentos álgidos. El pensiero débole, redefinido en su últimos escritos como comunismo hermenéutico, corresponde a un nuevo hito de esa historia de la metafísica que no es otra cosa que la historia de la onto-teo-logía occidental, donde los conceptos de Ser y Dios, configuran todo el espacio de esa ciencia o filosofía fundamental, la metafísica, fundada por Aristóteles, reconfigurada por Tomás de Aquino, criticada por Nietzsche y redefinida por Heidegger.

Cuarenta años atrás Moses I. Finley editó The Legacy of Greece: A New Appraisal en Oxford. Desde entonces, se han editado varios volúmenes al respecto. Con el pasar de las décadas, las armonías entre la sapientia de la Antigua Grecia y la filosofía clásica alemana han ganado terreno reclamando la atención que merecen. Se levantan cada vez más puentes sobre ambos períodos y a diario se publican estudios que desgranan detalles fascinantes. La enorme influencia que tuvieron los antiguos sobre los filósofos idealistas, la mirada de los poetas que anhelaban ese ancestral esplendor, las ideas del pasado y su vigencia en el presente son algunas de las cuestiones estudiadas sobre la Grecia Antigua y la filosofía clásica alemana. ¿Por qué, entonces, surgió la idea de una monografía relacionada con la naturaleza?

Authors: Sondorová M. , Koščová J. , Kačírová J. , Maďar M.
Published: May 2021

The feline oral cavity is naturally inhabited by various microorganisms contributing to the maintenance of its oral health. The imbalance of oral microbiota or the presence of pathogenic agents can lead to secondary oral diseases. Various factors such as sex, diet, breed, environment and even age, affect the composition of a healthy oral microbiota during the life of cats. The purpose of this study was to compare the composition of culturable aerobic and facultative anaerobic micro-biota in cats in terms of different age categories. We used conventional cultivation methods in conjunction with microscopic and biochemical methods to isolate and identify the micro organisms found in the oral cavity of cats. The examination of 76 samples confirmed the dominance of the phylum Proteobacteria in almost all groups. Commonly occurring bacteria have been identified, i. e. Streptococcus spp., Neisseria spp. and Pasteurella spp. Although aerobic and facultative anaerobic oral micro biota were examined, differences between age groups were noted. The microbial diversity of the oral microbiota significantly increased with age.

Authors: Szyszko-Podgórska Katarzyna
Published: May 2021

The purpose of the work was to identify the occurrence of butterflies depending on landform uses and human influence on the population domination structure. The research was conducted in the ‘Krzywda’ field-and-forest Site occupying 172 ha. The area consists of the land leaving in fallow, meadows and wasteland including about 68 ha of swamps that are strongly eutrophic due to human economic activity. The area is subjected to artificial succession inhibition processes in the form of mowing and cutting of trees and shrubs. 32 species of butterflies were recorded during the research, that is, 20% of all species within this group occurring in Poland. The research has approved the great spatial and quantitative diversification of the occurring area of butterflies depending on the form of the land uses. The greatest number of species and their greatest populations were found in the land laying in fallow without the removal of the biomass. The least number of species and their specimens were collected in the unmown laying fallow land. Lycaena virgaureae was the most numerous species collected. The correct domination structure characterized by a small number of numerous species and a large number of species consisting of a low number of specimens. Processes observed in the studied Site subjected to various types of land use influence the occurrence diversity of this group of insects.

Challenges of Guaranteeing Privacy in Pandemic Time
Authors: Ebibi Candidate Dashnim
Published: May 2021

The right of citizens to privacy in the Republic of Kosovo is guaranteed under the Law on Personal Data Protection. Moreover, this right is guaranteed by the Constitution (Official Gazette, 2008), which is the highest legal act.

The purpose of this academic paper goes beyond a superficial assessment of the level of implementation of this fundamental right of the citizen. The core of this paper focuses on highlighting the existing challenges and those that may persist in guaranteeing the privacy of each of us under the reign of the 'Covid 19' Virus in the geographical and psychological space of all citizens of Kosovo.

Despite the existence of an independent authority, mandated to oversee the implementation of this right in the public and private sector, its implementation is a permanent mission of this authority, which in our country is the Information and Privacy Agency, but also is subject to challenges, which are not always generated by human negligence.

To give the deserved physiognomy to this article, official accessible sources of the sole authority that oversees the implementation of this right in our country have been used. Statistical data presented within the trunk of the paper reinforce the thesis introduced in the introduction of the article, which is confirmed during its full elaboration, reinforcing the view that part of the main challenges for Information and Privacy Agency persists being the limited number of human professional resources, as a guarantee for establishing an unwavering trust among the citizens that their privacy is guaranteed.
The Impact of Pictures on Second Language Acquisition
Authors: Tahiri Shejla
Published: May 2021

The need for worldwide communication has made people learn as many foreign languages as they can in order to be able to send and receive information from all over the world. Realizing this situation, researchers and linguists have carried out a large number of studies in order to find out the best ways for teaching and learning English as a second or foreign language. The terms language learning and language acquisition are not new since in many earlier researches language acquisition is compared to the process of learning the mother tongue whereas language learning is compared to the process when a child learns a second or foreign language. This paper aims to showcase that teaching/learning new vocabulary using pictures is much more effective than the other methods of vocabulary learning. The research also puts emphasis on the language level of learners. It demonstrates that the method of using pictures and illustrations works well with all levels of proficiency and as such, it has brought very useful results. It was carried out at the South East European University (SEEU) in North Macedonia and participants were thirty (30) students from all five Faculties, divided in three different groups based on their language proficiency. Each group consisted of ten (10) students, aged 18 to 22 years. They were of elementary, pre-intermediate and intermediate level of English. The research lasted for six weeks, because the students had to be introduced to six different vocabulary topics. Since the experiment was carried out in a real classroom environment, the target vocabulary topics used for this purpose were chosen from their students’ book. Data were collected in three phases. During the first phase, students were asked to complete a questionnaire, consisting of questions regarding the vocabulary learning methods, mainly vocabulary associated with pictures. In the second phase, they were engaged in real activities in a traditional classroom setting, while in the last phase, at the end of the last session, participants took a quiz that was supposed to provide evidence and additional data about participants’ achievements. It is expected that the findings from this experiment will be useful to current and prospective teachers as they show that the method of pictures and illustrations associating the target vocabulary functions well with different levels.

Research on experiential meaning breadth of bilingual analysis is rarely performed. The research aims at describing (1) the experiential meaning breadth variations of Alice in Wonderland English- Bahasa Indonesia movie texts, (2) the contextual factors that motivate the occurrence of meaning and realization variations, and (3) the contextual effects of the meaning and realization variations in question on the context in reference to the target readers of the texts. The research used descriptive qualitative approach to make the interpretation and the research findings. The data were taken from Alice in Wonderland (2010) movie texts then measured and validated in terms of quantitative research then analyzed through several steps: classifying the data into realized and unrealized expressions, classifying the data into the categories or degrees of variations, classifying the higher degree of each clause compared, giving number of clauses and their process type, contrasting each analysis result, and drawing conclusions. Research results indicate that the most prominent degree of experiential meaning breadth variations falls into the â€œlowestâ€ category of variation with 57.54%. This means that the Target Text is closely related to the Source Text and/ or the translator of Target Text applied source- based translation as regards experiential meaning breadth complexity. It is also strengthened by the average degree in each of the analysis falling in â€œvery lowâ€ category. The contextual factors that motivate the occurrence of the variations consist of inter- textual and situational context (field, mode, and tenor). The contextual effects in reference to the target readers are related to two aspects; the readability and the purpose of creating the texts. The Target Text is readable for the target readers of the text, target readers feel entertained by interpreting the text. The purpose for creating the Target Texts is for education and gives effects for the target readers to enrich their vocabularies and improve their English skills.
Do I Speak Anxiously? A Correlation of Self-Efficacy, Foreign Language Learning Anxiety and Speaking Performance of Indonesian EFL Learners

Background:

Self-efficacy and foreign language learning anxiety are already known as two importantly affective variables in learning a foreign language. However, little is known about the relationships between the two affective variables with learnersâ€™ speaking performance. Therefore, this present study seeks to figure out: the EFL learnersâ€™ self-efficacy, foreign language learning anxiety (FLLA), speaking performance, and the correlation between their speaking performance and self-efficacy, speaking performance and FLLA, and self-efficacy and FLLA.

Methodology:

A correlational design was selected to answer the research questions. Seventy students of the sixth semester got involved in this study. Three research instruments were applied, namely: a self-efficacy questionnaire, a FLLA questionnaire, and one speaking test used to measure studentsâ€™ speaking performance.

Findings:

Based on these results, it can be concluded that the null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected, while the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted. Therefore, there was a significantly positive correlation between speaking performance and self-efficacy and a negative correlation between speaking performance and FLLA, and between self-efficacy and FLLA. It means that student with high-level speaking performance will have high-level of self-efficacy. Then, the higher studentsâ€™ speaking performance is, the lower their FLLA becomes. It is in line with the correlation between studentsâ€™ self-efficacy and FLLA, that student with high-level of self-efficacy would has low FLLA.
From Palm Trees to Shorelines- Coir Fiber as a Coastal Reinforcement
Authors: Rey Alexander
Published: May 2021

In conjunction with changing climate patterns and increasing urban development, there is a significant need for materials that can be used to protect shorelines from erosion. While existing hard materials such as concrete and steel succeed in preventing erosion, they are costly to implement, and impact the aesthetic of the beach. Coir Fiber is an organic material produced as a byproduct of coconut production that has recently been investigated for use as a shoreline reinforcement. Currently, coir fiber is disposed of as a waste material; however, when processed into a bio-log format it has significant structural properties. In 2014, a series of tests on this material was completed at the Queen’s University Coastal Engineering Laboratory, resulting in a laser-profiler dataset demonstrating the change in beach profile under active wave action with various coir fiber reinforcements applied. Significant post-processing was applied to the data, including alignment using 2-dimentional cross correlation and a Gaussian filter. This processing allowed for the laser profiles to be effectively aligned, and the coir fiber impact to be qualified as slightly effective at minimizing erosion. The tested conditions were then simulated in XBeach, a numerical modeling program, to validate results against the experimental conditions.
Optimizing Forest Management for Atmospheric Carbon Sequestration
Authors: Zemanek Debra
Published: May 2021

Forest disturbances from logging activities in Canada’s boreal forest influence forest structure and nutrient cycling. Understanding the effect of Canadian forest industry practices on carbon uptake, storage, and release is important for forest management. Forest management is an important component of climate change mitigation through the removal of carbon from the atmosphere. Changes to forest structure and soil nutrient storage can have significant impacts on primary productivity. Primary productivity is a measure of the rate of carbon sequestration in forest biomass. Reviewing the literature on forest ecosystem carbon dynamics will inform on how to maximize carbon sequestration in forest management. Identifying forest industry practices that result in the highest rates of carbon sequestration is an important step for sustainable forest management.
