Advances in the study of signed languages within a cognitive perspective
Authors: Martínez Rocío , Siyavoshi Sara , Wilcox Sherman
Published: March 2020

In this paper we describe a cognitive grammar approach to the study of signed language grammar. Using data from different signed languages, we explore three broad topics. First, we examine pointing, Place, and placing. We analyze pointing as a construction consisting of a pointing device, a symbolic structure which directs the interlocutor’s conceptual attention, and a Place, a symbolic structure consisting of a spatial location and a meaning, the focus of attention. Placing is a construction in which non-body anchored signs are placed at a location in space, thereby creating or recruiting a Place structure which can be used in subsequent discourse. We examine how these structures work in nominal grounding and in extended discourse. Second, we examine a cognitive grammar approach to grammatical modality. Our analysis is based on the cognitive model called the control cycle, which posits two types of control: effective, which describes our striving to influence what happens in the world, and epistemic, which concerns how we make sense of the world. We explore how effective and epistemic modality are expressed in facial displays, focusing on the brow furrow and a display with down-turned corners of the mouth we call the horseshoe mouth. Finally, we offer a brief account of a cognitive grammar approach to the relation between sign and gesture.

Automatic sign language recognition (ASLR) is quite a complex task, not only for the difficulty of dealing with very dynamic video information, but also because almost every sign language (SL) can be considered as an under-resourced language when it comes to language technology. Spanish sign language (LSE) is one of those under-resourced languages. Developing technology for SSL implies a number of technical challenges that must be tackled down in a structured and sequential manner. In this paper, some problems of machine-learning- based ASLR are addressed. A review of publicly available datasets is given and a new one is presented. It is also discussed the current annotations methods and annotation programs. In our review of existing datasets, our main conclusion is that there is a need for more with high-quality data and annotations.

PENERAPAN ASAS KEADILAN PADA TRANSAKSI PENYIMPANAN DANA NASABAH DI BANK SYARIAH BERDASARKAN AKAD MUDHARABAH
Authors: Shoimah Siti Nur , Susanti Dyah Ochtorina
Published: March 2020

ABSTRAK

This research is motivated by the fact that it does not include clauses related to the risk of the Bank or the Customer in the mudharabah agreements in the customer deposit funds in Islamic Banking (Sharia Banking), if at any time the business of managing a Islamic Bank fund suffers, even though there are also Customer funds in the business, and it’s not balanced, because maybe only one party, the Customer or the Bank, bears the risk of loss. This imbalance then causes injustice, even though justice is a shariah requirement in the distribution of results from a business activity. Research that uses the normative legal research with the statute approach, and conceptual approach, results in the finding that the principle of justice in customer deposit funds in Islamic Banking based on mudharabah agreements is realized in the form of profit sharing system in the form of proportional and balanced benefits and risks.

 

Keyword: Principle of Justice, Mudharabah Agreements, Customer Deposit Fund, Islamic Banking

 

ABSTRAK

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh fakta yang menunjukkan tidak dicantumkannya klausul terkait resiko Bank ataupun Nasabah di dalam akad mudharabah pada transaksi penyimpanan dana Nasabah di Bank Syariah, apabila suatu ketika usaha dari pengelolaan dana Bank Syariah mengalami kerugian, padahal di dalam usaha tersebut juga terdapat dana Nasabah, dan ini tentu tidak seimbang, karena dimungkinkan hanya pihak Nasabah Penyimpan atau Bank Syariah yang menanggung resiko atas kerugian tersebut. Ketidakseimbang inilah yang kemudian menimbulkan adanya ketidakadilan, padahal keadilan merupakan persyaratan syari’ah dalam pembagian hasil dari suatu kegiatan usaha. Penelitian yang menggunakan metode normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan konseptual ini, menghasilkan temuan bahwa asas keadilan pada transaksi penyimpanan dana Nasabah di Bank Syariah berdasarkan akad mudharabah diwujudkan dalam bentuk sistem bagi hasil berupa keuntungan dan resiko secara proporsionalitas dan seimbang.

Menurut Santoso dalam Suryanto (2009), pengelolalan diabetes melitus ada  4 macam yaitu edukasi, perencanaan  makanan, olahraga, dan obat-obatan DM. Olahraga teratur untuk program pengobatan DM, terutama DM tipe II manfaatnya akan lebih efektif bila jenis olahraga yang dilakukan mayoritas menggunakan otot-otot besar tubuh, dengan gerakan-gerakan ritmis (berirama) dan  berkesinambungan  (kontinyu)  dalam  waktu  yang  lama, (Suryanto,2009). Berdasarkan studi pendahuluan, diwilayah kerja Puskesmas Periuk Jaya Kota Tangerang belum dilakukan tindakan secara non farmakologis khususnya olah raga (senam diabetes) dan belum ada penelitian tentang itu, sehingga penulis tertarik untuk melakukan penelitian berjudul “Pengaruh Senam Diabetes terhadap kadar gula darah pada pasien Diabetes Melitus type 2 di Puskesmas Periuk Jaya Kota Tangerang Tahun 2018”. Tujuan penelitian ini ingin mengetahui pengaruh Senam Diabetes dalam mempertahankan kadar gula darah pada pasien Diabetes Melitus type 2, dengan desain penelitian quasi eksperimental dengan pendekatan rancangan eksperimental ulang (pre test-post test group design), yaitu pada subjek dilakukan test/pengukuran sebelum dan sesudah perlakukan. Hasil penelitian, diperoeh ada perbedaan yang signifikan  rata-rata guladarah sewaktu antara sebelum dan setelah intervensi baik yang intervensi dengan senam diabet maupun intervensi dengan bukan senam diabet. Karena homogenitas karakteristik responden tidak terpenuhi, maka disarankan kepada peneliti lain agar melakukan penelitian dengan menggunakan metode dan teknik sampling yang lebih baik untuk mendapatkan hasil yang lebik baik lagi.

Advising in Language Learning: Confirmation Requests for Successful Advice-Giving
Authors: Rutson-Griffiths Yukari , Porter Mathew
Published: March 2020

One of the roles of language learning advisors is to help language learners become more autonomous and one crucial way to achieve this is to facilitate reflection on their learning through dialogues in advising sessions. Although previous studies on advising skills have provided practitioners with invaluable resources for their professional development, more studies on actual interactions can further illuminate the nature of advice-giving to support or better inform existing advising frameworks. This research uses conversation analysis to examine a naturally occurring advisor-learner interaction to uncover how the conversational participants achieve shared understanding. It was found that a series of confirmation requests help adjust and maintain the participants’ mutual understanding while the conversation unfolds. The findings of this study suggest that more research examining authentic dialogue using conversation analysis will shed light on uncovering the mechanisms underlying the successful provision of appropriate advice in language learning and consequently contribute to the professional development of advisors in the future.
Approach to Improve Edible Bird Nest Quality & Establishing Better Bird Nest Cleaning Process Facility through Best Value Approach
Authors: Hong Tan Kok , Chia Fah Choy , Ong Han Alan Kiat
Published: March 2020

Edible bird nest industries have existed for more than a century; however, it has been going through a few revolution cycles. As harvesting EBN from the natural habitat in the dark and dim limestone caves to the modern purpose-built swiftlet farms, the quality and quantity of the bird nests have risen to a new level. This success of changing the habitat of swiftlet colonies is revolutionary because the ease of rescuing bird nests from life-threatening experiences to a safe environment has improved. Furthermore, with a synthetic environment, the quality of bird nests has improved with decreased levels of pollution and the colony`s population increased due to better growth along with protection from predators. On the downside, edible bird nest cleaning processes experienced very few changes since the discovery of edible bird nests. The method of cleaning remains unchanged. Several machines have been introduced to replace human labor and the results are either ineffective or undesirable. In this study, existing practices were observed and analyzed by identifying the area of opportunity for improvement. A new proposed method has been implemented to enhance the quality and nutrients of the bird nests. The experimental methodology has been employed to analyzes a set of samples obtained from both cleaning methods. The results show a smaller expansion rate under the current method in processing edible bird nest; hence, the possibility of nutrients preserved has increased by 30% under the new method. The percentage of crude protein concentration in the newly improved method was 50.25% whereas in the traditional method, it was only 31.16%. This clearly indicates the difference of 19.09% nutrient lost between the new improved method and traditional cleaning method.
Criterios de proporcionalidad para resolver la falta de temporalidad de las medidas de aseguramiento de bienes reguladas en la Ley de Extinción de Dominio

La protección que en Guatemala se efectúa del derecho a la propiedad privada está articulada en dos niveles, uno es el nivel constitucional y el segundo el que se efectúa por la Convención Americana sobre Derechos Humanos, y no obstante en ambos se le reconoce el estatus de fundamental, debido a que se le clasifica como un derecho condicionable o no absoluto, puede verse sometido a restricciones, estando dentro de ellas las medidas cautelares reales que se decretan en sede de extinción de dominio. Debido a que el artículo 22 de la ley de la materia no fija un plazo máximo de duración, se produce una colisión entre los derechos  individuales de un particular  (uso y libre disposición de los bienes) y el interés social, fundamento último de la lucha contra la delincuencia organizada, la corrupción y des cooptación del Estado; por lo que para dirimir tal conflicto se hace necesario acudir en cada caso particular, a los criterios de proporcionalidad para establecer un balance entre lo que se pretende obtener y el derecho que se pretende restringir a fin de evitar una intervención estatal innecesaria o excesiva.

Bil SIG: The complicated art of parenting
Authors: Christiaens Bruno
Published: March 2020

Although an increasing number of children are being raised bi-culturally and bilingually, there seems to be little unity in research on the successful “how” of it, especially for languages besides English. Most parents are left at the mercy of trial and error, resulting in varying levels of success. This article relates the visible effects of the one parent, one language (OPOL) method and shows how they vary depending on the time share of each parent with the child(ren). In addition, the article notes how differences in the parents’ own upbringing can prove to be an unexpected obstacle. Even so, their ability to act as second-order observers can offer benefits to their children’s evolving biculturalism and bilingualism. The author concludes by advocating a shift from a cognitive skill-focused education to developing the intrinsic character and willpower of children.

ますます多くの子どもが複合文化や2言語で育てられているが、特に英語以外の言語での効果的な子育て方法について、一貫性のある研究が少ないようだ。ほとんどの親は、自分たちで試行錯誤をして子育てし、その成果は様々である。本論は、親1人で1言語を話すというOPOL方法は目に見えて効果があることと、子ども（たち）とその親が接する時間の比によって効果が異なるという結果を示す。加えて、両親自身の育てられ方の相違が、思わぬ障害になり得ることも注視する。たとえそうであっても、各親の2次的観察者としての手腕は、複合文化・2言語で学んでいる子どもたちに恩恵を与えることができる。最後に著者は最近の研究に基づいた上で、能力に焦点を当てたスキル重視の教育より、子供に本来備わっている性格と意志力の形成がより重要であると提唱している。

LD SIG: Viewing low motivation and competence through a learner-development framework
Authors: Paton Stephen
Published: March 2020

Having taught highly-motivated, highly proficient English language students for several years in Australia, suddenly teaching low-motivation, low-proficiency students in compulsory English classes in Japanese universities was surprising, frustrating, and challenging. After several years of confusion, the lights began to come on when I became familiar with a few themes within the learner development literature.

Reading about, and experimenting within, self-efficacy theory and language learning strategies-based instruction have helped make it possible to not only understand students better, but also provide the kind of teaching and support most likely to be meaningful and beneficial.

オーストラリアで様々な国から来た生徒を数年間教えていた時は、生徒のモチベーションも、英語のレベルも高かった。その直後に日本の大学で必修英語の授業を持ち始めた時、生徒のモチベーションも英語力も低いのに驚きと不満を感じ、毎日が挑戦の連続であった。数年間は困惑することも多かったが、学習者の発達文献に関係するいくつかの論旨を読んでいくうちに、理解できるようになってきた。

自己効力感理論や言語学習ストラテジーに基づく指導法を読んだり試みたりすることは、生徒を理解できるようになるだけなく、意義があり有益な授業ができる助けになる。

Authors: Robertson Zack
Published: March 2020

This essay examines the opinions and perceptions of 15 elementary school teachers and administrators regarding the English Education Reform Plan released by MEXT in December 2013 in order to pinpoint problems that may occur over the following six-year implementation period. The study consists of short individual and small group interviews loosely structured around six questions concerning the proposed policy and its impact on elementary level EFL. Participant responses are analyzed for their possible implications for the following language policy metrics: compatibility, complexity, relative advantage, observability, and trialability. The essay concludes by advocating a two-way approach to curriculum development at the elementary level and citing a need for both macro- and micro-level policy actors to work together to effectively deal with the challenges ahead.

本論では、平成25年度に文部科学省が発表した「グローバル化に対応した英語教育改革実施計画」の6年間にわたる実施にあたって、小学校レベルでどのような問題があるかを突き止めるため、その実施計画を基にそれぞれの小学校関係者の意見をまとめた結果を考察する。今回の研究は、15名の現役のクラス担任、学校長、また教育委員会、ALTを対象に、実施計画の中長期的な影響を話題にした、1対1および小グループに対する6つの質問からなる聞き取り調査を行った。対象者の回答を分析し、実施計画について、適合性(compatibility)、複雑性(complexity)、相対的優位性（relative advantage)、可観測性(observability)、試行可能性(trialability)などの言語政策基準に基づいて論ずる。結論として、今後、計画の実施に関連する問題を克服するには、国と各地域における小学校現場との緊密な関連が必要である。

Authors: Freiberger Emma , Täuscher Eric , Ritter Uwe , Eckert Nadine , Görls Helmar
Published: March 2020

The 2,5-substituted 4-hydroxythiazoles form a fluorescent dye class with wide-range-tunable absorption and emission wavelengths. The insights gained on these heterocyclic fluorescence systems are intended to contribute to the development of alternative applications of such molecules in the various areas of biology, chemistry and technology. Therefore, a synthesis strategy for the bromination of the thiazole core was developed, which allows the implementation of various cross-coupling reactions on thiazoles. Furthermore, the so formed conjugated cross-coupling products are highly fluorescent and were investigated in terms of their spectroscopic properties.

in the United Kingdom were included.Data Collection:Data were based on responses to questionnaires for people seeking help for tinnitus.Results:Sixteen percent of patients (27/174) reported that during the first 18 years of life, their parents were separated or divorced and 41%
(72/174) reported that their parent(s) suffered from a mental illness. The mean score for the insomnia severity index (ISI) was not significantly affected by parental separation or divorce. However, the mean ISI score was significantly worse for patients whose parents had a mental illness.
A multinomial logistic regression model, adjusted for the presence of hyperacusis, hearing loss, age, and gender, indicated that for individuals experiencing tinnitus, a history of parental mental illness during their childhood increased the chance of severe insomnia by a factor of 3.4 (95%
confidence interval: 1.1 to 10.8, p = 0.04). The risk of having severe insomnia was 3.8 times greater for patients with hyperacusis than for those without.Conclusions:Among patients seeking help for tinnitus/hyperacusis, poor parental mental health was associated with severe
insomnia.

A New Genus of Crickets (Orthoptera: Gryllidae) in Mid-Cretaceous Myanmar Amber
Authors: Poinar, Jr. George , Su You Ning , Brown Alex E.
Published: March 2020

Crickets (Orthoptera: Grylloidea) are a highly diverse and successful group that due to their chirping are often heard more often than they are seen. Their omnivorous diet allows them to exist in a variety of terrestrial habitats around the world. In some environments, cricket populations can build up and become plagues, resulting in significant damage to seedling crops. A new genus and species of cricket, Pherodactylus micromorphus gen. et sp. nov. (Orthoptera: Gryllidae) is described from mid-Cretaceous Myanmar amber. The new genus is characterized by the following features: head without prominent bristles, pronotum longer than wide, middle of pronotal disk with two distinct large dark “eyespots”, fore leg robust and 3 apical spurs arranged on inner side of fore leg tibia. Shed portions of a lizard skin adjacent to the specimen reveal possible evidence of attempted predation.
Dating the Co-evolution Between Bees and Beetle Triungulins (Coleoptera: Cleridae) to the Mid-Cretaceous
Authors: Poinar, Jr. George , Brown Alex
Published: March 2020

Presently, three families of Coleoptera (Meloidae, Ripiphoridae and Cleridae) produce triungulin larvae that parasitize aculeate Hymenoptera, especially various lineages of social and solitary bees, as well as wasps and other insects. The discovery of a fossil bee with associated beetle triungulins in mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber provides the earliest known date for the co-evolution between bees and beetle triungulins, specifically those of the family Cleridae (Coleoptera). The fossil bee has been described in a new family and the beetle triungulins are described in the present work in the form genus and species Anebomorpha cercorhampha gen. et sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Cleridae). The description of Anebomorpha cercorhampha is based on 21 triungulins of the family Cleridae, five of which are in direct contact with the primitive bee in the amber. The remainder are at various distances behind the bee. This is the earliest fossil evidence of co-evolution between beetle triungulins and a member of the aculeate Hymenoptera.
Spilarctia procedra oudomsayensis ssp. nov. from Laos (Lepidoptera: Erebidae: Arctiinae)
Authors: Spitsyn Vitaly M. , Potapov Grigory S.
Published: March 2020

Spilarctia procedra inhabits the southern part of the Malay Peninsula and Indonesia. The northernmost records of this species were known in Southern Thailand, on the border with Malaysia (6° N). In this article, we present the first record of Spilarctia procedra from Laos (20° N) with a description of the new subspecies Spilarctia procedra oudomsayensis ssp. nov. We also report the first record of Spilarctia gopara from Myanmar.

Published: March 2020

The article gives 70 Pterophoridae species of nature reserves and national parks of KwaZulu Natal province, Republic of South Africa. New taxonomic combinations are revealed, new data on the distribution of Plume moths in the Republic of South Africa are indicated. New generic combinations were established for two species of Marasmarcha ammonias (Meyrick, 1909) and Sphenarches erythrodactylus (Fletcher, 1911). 7 species are recorded for the first time for the province of KwaZulu Natal.
Phylogeographic affinities, distribution and population status of the non-native Asian pond mussels Sinanodonta lauta and S. woodiana in Kazakhstan

Published: March 2020

Here, we present an integrative review of the non-native Sinanodonta spp. from Kazakhstan based on molecular and morphological data. Sinanodonta woodiana (Lea, 1834) inhabits the Syr Darya River, while two species, S. woodiana and S. lauta (Martens, 1877), have established viable populations in the Ili River basin, a tributary of the Balkhash Lake. The latter species was probably introduced in 1961-1971 from the Sungari River, a Chinese tributary of the Amur River. A distribution map of the two Sinanodonta species spreading in Middle Asia is provided. In Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, these species were recorded from endorheic drainages limiting their native expansion throughout the region, although further human-mediated dispersal events are expected. There are no reliable records of these alien freshwater mussels from Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan. Our study highlight that Sinanodonta lauta represents one more invasive lineage of the Asian pond mussels and that this East Asian species can successfully colonize plain water bodies of inland desert areas such as Middle Asia.

Authors: Ermilov Sergey G.
Published: March 2020

A new species of Lamellarea (Oribatida, Lamellareidae) is described from hick twigs of southern live oak in Florida, U.S.A. (part of the Neotropical region). Lamellarea americana sp. nov. differs from most similar species, Lamellarea digitata and L. forceps by the ventrally inserted lamellar setae, the number of genital setae, the length of interlamellar setae, and the body size. Remarks on generic diagnosis and distribution of Lamellarea are presented.
Future of Indonesian-Ukrainian Relations
Authors: Chrisnandi Yuddy
Published: March 2020

In this interview, Yuddy Chrisnandi, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Indonesia to Ukraine, expresses his gratitude to every person engaged in celebrations of the 73rd anniversary of Independence of the Republic of Indonesia in Ukraine, in the course of which there was an exhibition of goods which can potentially enter the Ukrainian market.
The Ambassador pays much attention to the rejuvenation of economic and sociocultural cooperation. Ukraine has hosted more than 20 official visits of Indonesian delegations from various governmental agencies specialising in such realms as IT, pharmaceuticals, and food industry.
The Ambassador is of the opinion that the paramount task is to preserve friendship and cultural appreciation between our countries. Specifically, the Embassy has finished the construction of Indonesian pavilion and garden in the Hryshko National Botanical Garden. The curriculum for studying the Indonesian language at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv favours strengthening of contacts between the people of Ukraine and Indonesia.
One of the means of strengthening contacts and cultural cooperation between the two nations is to examine various opportunities for cooperation, namely through the establishment of sister cities in Indonesia and Ukraine. The Ambassador met mayors of big towns and heads of the administrative offices of regions of Ukraine to deepen regional cooperation in different domains.
The Ambassador is looking forward to enhancing cooperation in the spheres of management and tourism. Over the last two years, the number of Ukrainian tourists in Indonesia has doubled thanks to the non-visa regime for citizens of Ukraine. The Ambassador hopes that citizens of Indonesia who are eager to see Ukraine will have an opportunity to travel to the country without visas. Ukraine has many attractions to draw attention of Indonesian tourists, including its beautiful nature and rich history.

Cooperation with China: from the Perspective of the Ambassador of Ukraine
Authors: Diomin Oleh
Published: March 2020

In this interview, Oleh Domin, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to the People’s Republic of China, underscores that the PRC is one of the world’s principal economic and political actors with an ever-growing ambition to become a global leader. The political and economic importance of the country, its ability to have an impact at the global and regional levels, and promising prospects of Ukrainian goods in the Chinese market determine Ukrainian foreign policy towards China.
The bilateral relations between Ukraine and China constitute a strategic partnership. China consistently supports the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine. Besides, it is ranked the first among the trade partners of Ukraine in the Asia-Pacific region.
The important areas are investments in Ukrainian infrastructure, which ensure economic development in general, scientific collaboration and development of cutting-edge technologies, Ukraine’s traditional strong suit and an attracting factor for its Chinese partners; cooperation in renewable energy aimed at ensuring energy security of Ukraine.
The Ambassador emphasises that diplomatic missions play a pivotal role in the development of cooperation between the two countries in the realm of culture, as exemplified by the results of the extensive cooperation of the Embassy of Ukraine in the PRC with cultural and art institutions and non-governmental organisations.
The Ukrainian studies in China are gaining momentum. In general terms, the expansion of areas for cultural and humanitarian cooperation between Ukraine and the PRC and rejuvenation of respective contacts provide many favourable opportunities for deepening practical collaboration, strengthening of trust and mutual understanding between the peoples of China and Ukraine.
