Authors: Jatmiko Bambang , Irawan Dadang , Machmuddah Zaky , Laras Titi
Published: March 2020

The purpose of this study is to test and empirically prove the influence of human resource capacity, the application of government accounting standards, the use of information technology, internal control systems, and financial supervision on the quality of information on local government financial statements. The problem in this study is that the quality of information on local government financial reports is still uneven, and the level of compliance with laws and regulations regarding local government financial reporting is lacking. The standards have not been implemented consistently. This research method uses quantitative data by distributing questionnaires. The population in this study is the Regional Government of Brebes Regency with a sample of 40 SKPD offices, and the determination of the sample is based on purposive sampling with the criteria for officials of each SKPD who have authority over the recording, preparation, and reporting of local government finances. The application used to process data in SPSS 25. The method used is the classical assumption test, hypothesis testing, and multiple regression analysis. The results of this study indicate that the Capacity of Human Resources and the Government's Internal Control System has a positive effect on the Quality of Information on the Regional Government's Financial Statements. Application of SAP, Utilization of Information Technology, and Financial Oversight do not affect the Quality of Information on Regional Government Financial Statements.

This article was composed to discuss the particular traits of the contemporary political education of students in Ukraine.  A system of political education is introduced to develop the fundamental political knowledge and skill-set of students, as well as aiding in the formation of their civic consciousness. The innovative modernization approaches are represented by American Political Science Association. The main purpose of the research to show modernization methods of political education what is the basis for the formation of democratic values of Ukrainian society. Much attention is paid to the correlation between civic and political education. The need for value content of political education adds to the urgency of the study. This involves making greater use of the tools of political education to support the dialogue of cultures in the modern world. Ensuring that society is prepared to solve global problems by developing the active position and individual responsibility of each young person should be an equally important result of political education in the 21st century. Political education now requires a walkthrough approach of implementation (through project initiatives, socio-cultural activities, networking and various types of cooperation between those who get education in the socio-political sector). The authors emphasize that it is worth rethinking the new opportunities of social networks, the Internet era to build youth initiatives and teams for project work. However, one of the challenges of the information society is the dominance of different types of data (“information noise”), which requires young people to have a higher level of media literacy and more developed critical thinking. Systematization literary sources and approaches for solving the problem indicates that the new systems of political values have been formed, which are essential for the democratization. Two groups of mutually perceived values were approved. The first group is dominant. It is associated with values such as security, sovereignty, patriotism, freedom, human rights, justice, political stability. The second group of established values is evolving: legality, responsibility, equality, political pluralism, legitimacy. This article reveals the understanding of these values of Ukrainian citizens on the basis of Ukrainian and European sociological research.

The article is based on an investigation of landsliding chronology coducted at the village of Halenkovice. (Outer Western Carpathians, Czechia). On the basis of historical data, (chronicles and other archive sources, air photos, old maps), field mapping and interviews of eyewitnesses, we determined six major and seven minor phases of landsliding in the village and its immediate neighborhood for the period 1915–2010. Inactive and active landslides currently cover 20% of the Halenkovice cadastral area. Landslides have strongly affected the development of the village itself. Since 1941, at least 9 houses have been destroyed by landslides, with many other local buildings and roads suffering significant damage. We also documented two examples of periodic reactivation of landslides.

The current study segments the youth golf event market based on expenditure of families who participated in the US Kids Golf World Championship. Expenditure was analyzed from the perspective of parents of young golfers who played at the event. Analysis confirmed the existence of three
dissimilar groups of spenders that included light spenders, medium spenders, and heavy spenders. These spenders significantly differed in 1) the expenditure variables such as lodging, food & beverage, golf, retail, transportation, and entertainment & recreation, 2) the overall satisfaction
with the event, and 3) trip characteristics. The findings help better appreciate the expenditure patterns and characteristics of families who attended the special youth golf event, a market that has hitherto been infrequently addressed in the literature. Marketing implications are discussed
for golf event marketers and associated businesses.
On the Theory of Stable Mode of Dendritic Growth in the Presence of Convective Heat and Mass Transfer Boundary Conditions
Authors: Alexandrov Dmitri V. , Toropova Liubov V. , Galenko Peter K.
Published: March 2020

The dendritic form is one of the most common forms of crystals growing from supercooled melts and supersaturated solutions. In recent decades, an analytical theory has been developed that describes a stable dendrite growth mode under the conditions of a conductive heat and mass transfer process. However, in experiments, the growth of dendritic crystals is often observed under the conditions of convective fluid flow. In the present work, the theory of the growth of dendritic crystals is developed taking into account the convective mechanism of heat and mass transfer at the crystal-melt interface. A stable mode of dendritic growth in the case of intense convective flows near the steady-state growing dendritic tip is analyzed. The selection theory determining a stable growth mode in the vicinity of parabolic solutions as well as the undercooling balance condition are used to find the dendrite tip velocity and its tip diameter as functions of the melt undercooling. It is shown that the theoretical predictions in the case of convective boundary conditions are in agreement with experimental data for small undercoolings. In addition, the convective and conductive heat and mass transfer mechanisms near the growing dendritic surfaces are compared. Our calculations show that the convective boundary conditions essentially influence the stable mode of dendritic growth.
To the Question of Determination of Maintenance of Concept «Informative Relations»
Authors: Kizliar Valentyna
Published: March 2020

Today's society is at a new historical phase of development based on information where crucial role played by information technology, and the production and use of information is the main way of activity in all areas of society. Information activities expanded both the scope that existed in society (political, economic, social, scientific, technical, international, etc.) and the areas where appearance is a result of this activity — is the sphere of information technologies and cyber sphere. Information impact on the state, society and the citizen is now more effective than political, economic and even military. Information becomes a real, almost physically palpable force. The category of «information» is one of the most important factors of public relations and is the basis of the origin and functioning of individual groups of these relations — relations information. Sphere of informative relations, for today, not only is one of major spheres of any society but also informative relations became inalienable part of any sphere of vital functions of man. Generalizing the different going of scientists near determination of informative relations, we can draw conclusion, that having regard to a novelty and not investigationalness of these relations exists two diametrically different going near this question. However, to our opinion, the representatives of both approaches assume a error, namely, they do not take into account that unlike other public relations that exist only in the real measuring, informative relations exist both in the real and in virtual space. Informatively-virtual relations are a new type of informative relations as public relations that arise up change and cease in relation to the appeal of information in a cyberspace. It is needed to acknowledge relations that does not touch motion of information directly inalienable part of informatively-virtual relations, however, exactly they form optimal terms for an informative communication as process of transmission and receipt of information. Exactly relations tangentially the cyberbuck of culture, cyberbuck of moral and cyberbuck of education can provide the civilized development of informatively-virtual relations.
Implementation of the Right of Appeal of Judicial Decisions in Civil Cases
Authors: Trach Oksana
Published: March 2020

The mechanisms for reviewing judgments in civil cases should include additional guarantees to ensure the implementation of the right of appeal, conditioned by the specificity of the court decision, which will serve as the subject of verification. There is a need to establish implementation peculiarities of the right of appeal, as well as the procedures for revising court decisions made in lawsuits against a large group of persons, an indefinite number of persons that are not defined by the current civil procedural law. It has been substantiated the necessity to fix on a legislative level the two-step procedure for implementation of the right of appeal of judicial decisions on such claims. The exercise of the right to appeal depends on the knowledge of the decision on the case by the court of the first instance, as well as the direct involvement of the participant in the process. Particular significance has got the commission of these actions in relation to potential participants of the case. It has been established that the implementation of the right of appeal against the decision on these types of claims will facilitate the creation of options called «Claims for a large group of people», «Claims for an uncertain circle of persons» on the official web site of the judiciary. It was determined that informing the participants of the case, their representatives about the opening of appeal proceedings is important for the possibility of exercising the right to review court decisions in the court of appellate instance, and the use in this regard of procedural opportunities provided by law. It was established that excluding the representative from the participants of the case, the legislator did not regulate properly all procedural aspects of his participation in the process, the exercise of his procedural rights, and performance of duties. There is no clear timetable for the court of appellate instance to determine the issue whether the court decision of the court of first instance concerns the rights, freedoms, interests and / or duties of a person if it was not examined in the trial by the court of first instance and who filed a complaint, as well as the procedural form of its examination. It is necessary to consolidate the possibility to close the appeal proceedings in a case and the possibility to close proceedings against a specific appeal. Preparation of a case for an appeal on a complaint to a court decision on a suit against a significant group of persons should be marked according to its specifics. For this type of claim, it is necessary to change its procedural form in order to hold the preparatory meeting and foresee the necessity of preparing a panel of three judges. The preparatory meeting will expand the procedural capabilities of the participants and their representatives.
Features of Legal Regulation of the Circulation Order of Gift Certificates
Authors: Vartanian Avak
Published: March 2020

The article analyzes the novels of the legislation of the Republic of Belarus concerning the procedure for using gift certificates when selling goods (performance of works, rendering services). It has been done a comparative analysis of the legal regulation of the procedure for circulation of gift certificates in the Republic of Belarus, Ukraine and some foreign countries (Canada, the USA). The author raises some problems concerning the use of a gift certificate in civil circulation. It is pointed out that there is uncertainty both in the theory of civil law and at the level of legislative regulation regarding the civil law nature of a gift certificate. It is noted that the analysis of the legislation in force in the Republic of Belarus allows us to define a gift certificate as a document certifying the property right (requirement) of its holder (bearer) to receive goods (works, services), and the amount of money contributed when purchasing a gift certificate, as advance payment (advance payment). At the same time, such an approach of the legislator is criticized due to the fact that there is a clear contradiction to the requirements of Art. 402 of the Civil Code of the Republic of Belarus, from the content of which it follows that the advance payment presupposes the existence of a contract in which the subject has been agreed, which is not typical of most gift certificates, due to the fact that they do not contain an indication of the subject of the contract. Having done the analysis of the civil legislation of Ukraine, the author makes a conclusion that there is application of the rules on a purchase agreement to gift certificates, the subject of which may be property rights in accordance with the Civil Code of Ukraine. The conclusion is made about the imperfection of the legal regulation of the procedure for circulation of gift certificates in the Republic of Belarus and Ukraine, as well as about the complex legal nature of the gift certificate, regarding which legal regulation should be more universal, defining a gift certificate as an independent object of civil legal relationship.
Los anfibios como modelo experimental para el estudio de la evolución de la cognición espacial y sus bases neurales
Authors: Muzio Rubén N. , Daneri M. Florencia , Sotelo María Inés
Published: March 2020

Los anfibios constituyen un grupo filogenéticamente muy antiguo que se caracteriza por ser los representantes de la transición del medio acuático al terrestre, con todas las implicancias que esto pudo tener en la organización de su sistema nervioso. El uso de este modelo animal para estudiar la evolución de la cognición espacial, brinda la ventaja adicional, al no poseer neocorteza, de poder indagar acerca de los circuitos cerebrales básicos que subyacen a este tipo de conducta. En este trabajo se describen los distintos procedimientos y dispositivos experimentales que se utilizan para el estudio de las habilidades de orientación y navegación espacial en anfibios y sus bases neurales. Teniendo en cuenta toda la información acumulada hasta el momento en este modelo experimental se concluye que las propiedades de esta habilidad cognitiva han sido mayormente conservadas a lo largo de la evolución.

Published: March 2020

La diabetes se ha convertido en unos de los problemas epidémicos prioritarios en México y el mundo. Este estudio se diseñó para evaluar el afecto en diabéticos y determinar si éste difiere de la población sana. Se realizó un estudio comparativo en el que se incluyeron 34 pacientes, en su mayoría con diabetes mellitus tipo 2 DM2 y un grupo de población sana. Se utilizó el instrumento de medición PANAS para detectar niveles de afecto positivo y negativo. Los principales resultados muestran que las personas de 21 a 40 años presentan un mejor balance emocional y/o pensamientos positivos en relación con las personas de 41 a 50 años quienes se desequilibran más fácilmente por su parte, las personas por encima de los 50 años tienden a equilibrar sus pensamientos mucho mejor. La mayoría de las personas con diabetes no practican actividad física y si lo hacen es de forma irregular, quienes realizaban actividad física moderada o intensa reportaron niveles más altos de afecto positivo. La mayoría de los diabéticos no cuentan con un trabajo asalariado y se mueven en la informalidad, esa condición laboral estuvo asociada con índices superiores de ira y disgusto. Fue estadísticamente significativa la diferencia en los estados emocionales entre personas sanas y diabéticas, los segundos presentaron una marcada tendencia a emociones negativas, en especial miedo y vergüenza, que fue mayor en las pacientes femeninas. Se recomienda un entrenamiento para disminuir las emociones negativas e incrementar las positivas para lograr mejorar la calidad de vida en las personas diabéticas.
Reconstrucción y fortalecimiento de las redes sociales como apoyo a familias en condición de desplazamiento forzado
Authors: Fernandez Cediel Miryam Cristina
Published: March 2020

Este estudio implementó un trabajo colaborativo de transformación social con el propósito de contribuir a la construcción y al fortalecimiento de redes sociales que brindan apoyo a las familias en condición de desplazamiento forzado, a través de la metodología de Investigación Acción Participativa. La investigación tuvo cinco etapas: una diagnostica, dos de acción-reflexión acompañadas cada una por una evaluación. Se encontró que la promoción de la comunicación apreciativa, las actividades lúdico-creativas, y las practicas colaborativas y de cuidado desde encuentros regulares asistidos por un equipo gestor, contribuyeron a que las familias tengan vivencias compartidas que ayuden a establecer redes sociales de apoyo más densas. Los grupos reflexivos que tuvieron un doble sentido: el de escenario para tratar problemáticas y necesidades, y el de ser una oportunidad para crear y fortalecer redes sociales de apoyo, fueron muy potentes para el agenciamiento del trabajo comunitario, así como para la elaboración de las experiencias de dolor y sufrimiento que se acallan ante la necesidad de atender a las dinámicas del día a día, y con ello ampliar la capacidad de autoconocimiento. La implicación de toda la familia en el trabajo colaborativo y apreciativo ayudó, no solo a crear las redes sociales de apoyo en el nuevo entorno que habita, sino también a fortalecer la comunicación afectiva y vinculante, y el cuidado del otro al interior de las familias.
La Acción de Lesividad frente al Acto Administrativo de adjudicación del Contrato Estatal
Authors: Puentes Araujo Mónica Alexandra
Published: March 2020

La acción de lesividad es una herramienta jurídica que le permite a la administración infirmar su propia voluntad, en los casos en que esta resulte contraria al ordenamiento jurídico superior o nociva a sus propios intereses. Mediante una visión combinada legal, jurisprudencial y doctrinaria se pretende abordar el tema de la procedencia de este instrumento legal en la actividad contractual del Estado, específicamente frente al acto separable de adjudicación, permitiendo una clara diferenciación de los eventos en los cuales la administración puede actuar por si misma mediante la revocatoria directa del acto o cuando debe acudir necesariamente al juez del contrato en procura de su pronunciamiento, para intentar conminar los efectos dañosos de la propia decisión.

Online support systems for Extensive Reading: Managing the tension between autonomy and institutional education
Authors: Brown Dale
Published: March 2020

In recent years in Japan a number of online systemshave been developed to support extensive reading(ER)programmes. This paper discusses why so many similarsystems have been developed concurrently. It is suggestedthat the underlying reason concerns the tension between autonomy and institutional education. Extensive reading programmes provide considerable opportunities for the development of autonomy.Educational institutions, however, may beuncomfortable with autonomy, particularly with regards to the monitoring and evaluation of students. The various online support systems makemonitoring simple for teachers while imposing little on learners, and can thus help to resolve this tension. By helping to satisfy the demands of institutions, the systems allow ER practitioners to give learners the freedom to read independently. Online ER support systems may thus allow extensive reading to flourish within the constraints of institutional education.

最近、国内で多読(ER)プログラム用のオンラインシステムが多く開発されている。本論では、同じようなシステムが同時に数多く開発される理由を検討する。根本的な理由は、自律と学校教育との緊張を懸念しているからであると考えられる。ERプログラムは自律の発達に重要な機会を提供する。しかし教育機関は自律学習に対し、特に学生のモニタリングや評価という点で不安感を持つかもしれない。様々なオンラインサポートシステムは、学習者にはほとんど負担をかけずに、教員が行うモニタリングを簡略化し、この懸念を解決するのに役立つ。このようなシステムは教育機関の要求を満たすのに役立ち、ER専門家は学習者に自主的に読む自由を提供できる。このようにオンラインERサポートシステムは、学校教育の制約内でも多読の普及を助ける可能性がある。
Behind MEXT's new Course of Study Guidelines
Authors: Tahira Masumi
Published: March 2020

The new Course of Study Guidelinesof the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technologyof Japan (MEXT) started to be implemented in stages in 2011. This paper reviews how MEXT’s policies for English education have changed and examines how the Ministry has attempted to implement communicative approaches over the last two decades.However, Communicative Language Teaching (CLT)isnot well rooted in Japan, so teachers do not fully understand it and are not confident about using CLT. This is the result of the lack of commitment by MEXT, which has led to ambiguity about CLT itself. This lack of commitment hampers the achievement of its ultimate goal of improving Japanese students’ English proficiency.MEXT must provide greater support for teachers by clarifying its advocated principles and providing ongoing training opportunities.

新学習指導要領が2011年から順次実施されている。本論では、文部科学省による日本の英語教育方針の変遷を振り返り、過去20年間にわたるコミュニカティブ・ランゲージ・ティーチング（CLT）導入の取り組みについて考察する。CLTはまだ日本の教育現場に十分根づいておらず、教師側のCLTへの理解、CLT実践への自信も十分とはいえない。これは、これまで同省がどのような教え方をするべきかについて曖昧さを残したままにしてきたことの結果でもあり、日本人生徒の英語力を向上させるという最終目標を阻害するものとなっている。同省は、自ら推し進める理念を具体的に示し、継続的な研修機会を提供して教師支援をさらに行うべきである。
Exchange Agreements between Japanese and Foreign Institutions
Authors: Menking Scott
Published: March 2020

A great deal of research has been done on the benefits of, and problems associated with, students studying abroad, particularly those who participate on school and university-sponsored programs, but this research has been based on the premise that there is a system in place that allows the students to study at another institute connected to their home institution. Usually, such an exchange is achieved through an exchange agreement with a foreign university. There has been less discussion of the actual exchange agreements. The author reviews what these agreements are and the benefits of establishing them before explaining the processes of and difficulties encountered when working to finalize one with a department at an American university.

学生の海外研修、特に学校や大学主催のプログラムに参加する学生の利点や問題について多くの研究が行われている。しかし、これらの研究は、学生が他の教育機関で学ぶことが出来る交換システムが既にあることが前提になっている。多くの場合、このようなシステムは、海外の大学との交換協定に基づき実施可能となる。しかしながら、この論文の焦点である、実際の交換協定自体に関しては、これまで殆ど論じられていない。筆者はこの交換協定を締結するよさを論じると共に、米国の大学某学部との最終的な締結に至るまでの過程と問題点についても論じる。

Oculomotor capture by search-irrelevant features in visual working memory: on the crucial role of target–distractor similarity
Authors: Foerster Rebecca M. , Schneider Werner X.
Published: March 2020

When searching for varying targets in the environment, a target template has to be maintained in visual working memory (VWM). Recently, we showed that search-irrelevant features of a VWM template bias attention in an object-based manner, so that objects sharing such features with a VWM template capture the eyes involuntarily. Here, we investigated whether target–distractor similarity modulates capture strength. Participants saccaded to a target accompanied by a distractor. A single feature (e.g., shape) defined the target in each trial indicated by a cue, and the cue also varied in one irrelevant feature (e.g., color). The distractor matched the cue’s irrelevant feature in half of the trials. Nine experiments showed that target–distractor similarity consistently influenced the degree of oculomotor capture. High target–distractor dissimilarity in the search-relevant feature reduced capture by the irrelevant feature (Experiments 1, 3, 6, 7). However, capture was reduced by high target–distractor similarity in the search-irrelevant feature (Experiments 1, 4, 5, 8). Strong oculomotor capture was observed if target–distractor similarity was reasonably low in the relevant and high in the irrelevant feature, irrespective of whether color or shape were relevant (Experiments 2 and 5). These findings argue for involuntary and object-based, top-down control by VWM templates, whereas its manifestation in oculomotor capture depends crucially on target–distractor similarity in relevant and irrelevant feature dimensions of the search object.
WRITING AND PUBLISHING A MAGAZINE

Published: March 2020

Students who write a piece of writing need a perfect tool to engage themselves to write even when they are not interested in writing at all. One of the perfect tools to engage the students in writing process is creating a magazine as it offers students to publish their writing. Publication, according to Lange (1992) is a great tool to engage students to write, involving even those who do not consider themselves to be writers. This paper explores the implementation of writing and publishing a magazine in a writing class in one of the universities in Bandung. The class applies project-based learning as its teaching method.

Most of students think that listening comprehension is not an easy activity to do. The problems because of the students’ levels in English proficiency. The level of students can have significant role when they listen to long parts and keep all information in their mind (Azmi Bingol, Celik, Yidliz, and Tugrul Mart, 2014). So many problems were found when they faced listening class; the study found that the students’ problems were the quality of recorded material and the length and speed in listening. The students’ strategies that the researcher found were storing and memory process and self-evaluating. There are only 4 students, out of 5, who used the listening learning strategies. The students have to interest listening comprehension. The researcher also found that students’ learning strategies can help the students to solve their problems in listening class.
THE FALLACY ANALYSIS OF THE PROGRAM “WAKTU INDONESIA BERCANDA”
Authors: Mulyani Martina
Published: March 2020

Recently, one of popular programs on TV is Waktu Indonesia Bercanda (WIB). It is a Quiz Show program that offers problems to solve and the host makes use fallacies as the core of its game. WIB offers the sense of achievement among its participants, but competitive atmosphere is hardly to find among them. This research tries to analyze the fallacies being used in WIB and figure out how such fallacies can encourage people to think critically. The research employs descriptive research design as it simply attempts to determine, describe or identify phenomena. 6 WIB from September through December were randomly selected as the subject of the research. The result shows that WIB demonstrates the use of fallacies of relevance but it avoids using argumentum ad hominem that contains personal attack. WIB may encourage the audiences and participants to think critically as fallacious arguments offered make the audiences work hard to think any possible implicatures. Eventually, WIB is the program that invites the participants and the viewers to think, evaluate and decide the answer or solution to the problem provided. In conclusion, WIB is a worth watching ShowQuiz as it is entertaining and encouraging its audience to think critically.

Highlights of a competence oriented methodology of teaching Ukrainian in school
Authors: Holub N. B.
Published: March 2020

The author is concerned that modern schools do not actually produce personalities who have linguistic stability, who have extensive experience in language use, for whom language is a value and a means of self-realization, but rather small “devices” with different memory cards and content. Despite the obvious advance of the theory of the question, the author still had the feeling that something really important has not been taken into account, because the competence mechanism fails to be fully launched because the focus on knowledge indicators slows it down.
The author considers a certain way out of the current situation a necessity to form a citizen during the study of school subjects, and therefore demonstrates the role of the Ukrainian language in solving this problem.
The author offers an algorithm of actions on the problem of forming a citizen, which should be complete: knowledge contributes to the formation of skills, skills become the impetus to thinking, contribute to the emergence of feelings, on the basis of which there is an attitude without which there is no personality.
If the attitude is formed, the student feels confident in the choice situation, their behavior is motivated. If a person is not trained to think and analyze, if a thought, decision, action is not the product of their efforts, operations, then they become mentally lazy, accustomed to consume a ready-made opinion, which is formed for them by the media, politicians, neighbors and even detractors.
The author points out that the world no longer encourages people to possess knowledge - search engines know everything. An important result of school language education is the formation of a competent speaker.
