Authors: Sepriana Ratih
Published: March 2021

Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are expected to be able to contribute to state revenue through tax sectors. The purpose of this study is to determine a profile of poultry business, meaning of tax compliance for poultry business owners, tax avoidance of poultry business owners, and to determine efforts to overcome tax avoidance behavior in poultry business owners in the regency of Blitar. The nature of this study is a qualitative or naturalistic paradigm with a phenomenological approach; Hussrel's transcendental phenomenology involving three interviews. We also interviewed with one tax officer from the tax office. The data were collected from interviews, participant observation, and documentation study. The data were analyzed by descriptions with Hussrel's transcendental phenomenological approach, namely Intentional Analysis, Epoche, and Eidetic Reduction. Data validation was carried out by several triangulation techniques. The results show that the poultry businesses are MSMEs that fall into the medium business category and are the main source of income for the owners. Though they are aware of tax and their obligations, their level of tax compliance remains low. The business owners are aware of tax avoidance, even doing so by reducing the tax payments through tax planning. Thus, efforts should be made to discourage tax avoidance.

Introduction: Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone (CRH) is involved in stress and energy homeostasis. On the other hand, CRH receptors also exist within the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) and Central Amygdala (CeA) nuclei. The present study compared the effect of CRH microinjections into PVN and CeA on three consecutive hours and cumulative food intake, internal regulatory factors of food intake, such as serum leptin and ghrelin, as well as blood glucose levels in rats under different acute psychological (Social Stress [SS] and Isolation Stress [IS] group) stresses. Methods: Sixty-six male Wistar rats were randomly allocated to 11 groups: Control, Sham, CRH-PVN, CRH-CeA, SS, IS, SS-CRH-PVN, SS-CRH-CeA, IS-CRH-PVN, and IS-CRH-CeA groups. The CRH (2 µg/kg in 0.5 µL saline) was injected into PVN and CeA nuclei in rats under everyday, acute social stress and isolation stress conditions. Results: Acute isolation and social stresses did not affect cumulative food intake. Whereas isolation stress led to changes in both leptin and glucose levels, social stress reduced only glucose levels. Cumulative food intake significantly decreased under acute CRH injection into the CeA and particularly into the PVN. Blood glucose significantly reduced in all the groups receiving CRH into their CeA. Conclusion: The PVN played a more important role compared to CeA on food intake. These nuclei probably employ different mechanisms for their effects on food intake. Besides, it seems that exogenously CRH injection into the PVN probably had a more anorectic effect than naturally activated CRH by stresses. Acute isolation stress had a greater impact than social stress on leptin level and cumulative food intake. Thus, elevated food intake related to leptin compared to ghrelin and glucose levels in the CRH-PVN group under acute social stress.

Background: Parental bonding perception leads to different domains in future life. The goal of this study was to investigate the role of parental bonding perception in predicting the communication patterns of couples in Tehran. Methods: This correlational and descriptive study was done on 338 individuals in Tehran, Iran who voluntarily participated in the research in 2016. Communication Pattern Questionnaire (CPQ) and Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI) were used to collect data. Pearson correlation method and multiple regression were used for data analysis using the SPSS v. 22 software. Results: Data revealed that in the husband group, father care was the only predictor of higher scores of the mutual constructive communication pattern. In the group of wives, father indifference was the predictor of lower scores of constructive communication pattern and mother encouragement of dependency was the predictor of the higher scores of the constructive communication pattern. Mother encouragement of autonomy was the only predictor of lower scores of husband demand/ wife withdraws but no variable predicted wife demand/ husband withdraw pattern. In addition, fathers’ encouragement of autonomy in husbands was predictive of spouses’ constructive communication patterns. Also, fathers’ encouragement of autonomy in husbands was predictive of spouses’ constructive communication patterns. Conclusion: The association between parental bonding perception and couple’s communication patterns highlight the importance of early years of childhood and parent-child relationship in future life.

Introduction. The modern methodology of teaching Russian as a foreign language (RFL) is a multidimensional system in which a number of different directions can be distinguished. The purpose of this work is to identify, based on the elements of content analysis, the most relevant directions in the teaching methodology of RFL over the past 5 years. The relevance of the study lies in identifying the main paradigmatic guidelines of this science at the present stage of its development. Materials and methods. The material for the theoretical part of the study was the work of Russian methodologists published over the past 10 years and devoted to the description of current trends in the teaching methods of RFL, as well as scientific works describing the specifics of content analysis as a research method. The empirical part of the study was carried out on the material of scientific and methodological journals and collections of materials of congresses devoted to the issues of teaching RFL and published over the past 5 years. Results. As a result of the analysis, 1969 mentions of the analyzed units of analysis were identified in 9 key areas of modern RCT methods over the past 5 years. The largest number of references to units of analysis was revealed in the framework of the conceptual (29 percent of total mentions), professionally oriented (16 percent) and linguistic (12 percent) directions. The leading position of the conceptual direction indicates that in the last 5 years there has been an active search for the most effective methods and technologies for teaching Russian to foreigners. The interest of researchers in professionally oriented education is proof that Russian as a foreign language is becoming a tool for obtaining higher education. The popularity of the linguistic trend is due to the fact that the search for optimal ways of teaching foreigners to various aspects of the Russian language is still ongoing. Conclusion. The scientific novelty of the conducted research lies in the fact that the authors made an attempt to identify the current trends in the methods of teaching RFL based on the elements of an objective quantitative method.

Published: March 2021

Objetivo: Identificar las potencialidades físicas, a través de perfiles dermatoglíficos, de niñas gimnastas de competencia comparadas con niñas no gimnastas.

Método: Se midieron niñas no gimnastas (n=50) y niñas gimnastas (n=50) participantes en el Campeonato Regional de bases 2018, Zona 1 Norte de México, de los estados de Sonora, Sinaloa, Baja California, Baja California Sur y Chihuahua. Lo anterior a través del método dermatoglífico informatizado, sobre la base del protocolo propuesto por Cummins y Midlo, que consiste en la toma de las huellas de los 10 dedos de las manos.

Resultados: Las gimnastas exhiben mayor coordinación motora, agilidad y resistencia, ya que presentan valores más altos en marcas dactilares como verticilos y delta 10. Absolutamente todas las formulas encontradas en las gimnastas presentan verticilos (coordinación y agilidad), aunque en diferente proporción. Las fórmulas que más se repiten en ambos grupos son presillas > verticilos (gimnastas 48% y no gimnastas 44%) y verticilos > presillas (gimnastas 26% y no gimnasta 16%). Notando que, aunque en las niñas no gimnastas también aparecen dichas formulas, en este grupo tienden a diversificarse de forma clara.

Conclusiones: Se logra definir que los verticilos, que correlacionan con coordinación y agilidad, son huellas de suma importancia en la práctica de la gimnasta, que junto con un delta 10 (promedio) de 14 y un alto conteo de líneas en los dedos de la mano izquierda, como elementos indispensables en el perfil dermatoglífico en la gimnasia.

Authors: Sanchez Trigo Horacio , Sánchez-Oliver Antonio Jesús , Sañudo Borja
Published: March 2021

Objetivo: La actividad física tiene efectos positivos sobre la salud ósea. Para desarrollar programas de prevención de la osteoporosis basados en actividad física, la intensidad de la misma debe cuantificarse con precisión con el fin de garantizar su efectividad así como la integridad esquelética del individuo. El objetivo ha sido evaluar la influencia de la localización del acelerómetro para cuantificar la intensidad de la actividad física en programas para la prevención de osteoporosis.

Método: Dieciocho mujeres premenopáusicas completaron un protocolo de ejercicio compuesto por cinco saltos con contramovimiento y cuatro series en tapiz rodante a distintas velocidades. Las participantes portaron acelerómetros situados en muñeca y cadera, y se compararon las medidas de aceleración registradas en ambas localizaciones. Se realizaron tres tipos de análisis: 1) Asociación entre mediciones de ambas localizaciones. 2) Nivel de similitud en las estimaciones grupales. 3) Evaluación del sesgo de medición.

Resultados: Baja correlación entre medidas de aceleración registradas en muñeca y cadera en todas las pruebas de protocolo (r= 0.046-0.469, p<0.05). Las diferencias entre las estimaciones grupales y el sesgo de medición aumentan a medida que se incrementa la velocidad en el tapiz rodante.

Conclusiones: La aceleración medida en la muñeca podría sobreestimar la aceleración realmente producida en la cadera. Este efecto debe tenerse en cuenta a la hora de cuantificar la carga en programas de actividad física para la prevención de la osteoporosis.

Objective: To examine the characteristics, diagnosis and management of agitated inpatients before psychiatric consultation in a general hospital.Methods: A retrospective chart review of inpatients aged 18 years or older that were referred for psychiatric consultation due to agitation in a general hospital in Thailand.Results: Of the 188 patients, confusion was the most commonly detected early sign of agitation (63;33.5%), while fidgeting was the most common symptom/behavior that led to psychiatric consultations (94;50.0%). The average onset time of agitation after admission was 62 hours 48 minutes. The most common cause of agitation was delirium due to a medical condition (89;47.3%). Primary psychiatric disorders were only found in 9 (4.8%) of agitated patients. There was a low diagnostic concordance between attending physicians and psychiatrists (Cohen’s Kappa=0.32). Physical restraints were used in 109 (58.0%) patients, whereas 166 (88.3%) were prescribed with sedatives. Attending physicians prescribed benzodiazepine to ameliorate agitation in 32 (36.0%) of patients with delirium. However, 4 (7.3%) patients with alcohol-withdrawal delirium were untreated initially with benzodiazepine.Conclusion: Medical conditions are more common causes of agitation than psychiatric illness. There is poor diagnostic concordance between attending physicians and psychiatrists, and high rates of physical restraints and benzodiazepine injection were found. Medical education on the detection and management of agitation and the appropriate use of sedative medications and restraints is needed.

The data were analyzed by using the Error Analysis Method by Gass and Selinker. Based on the analysis, the categories of the grammatical errors found are the subject-verb agreement in the use of tense agreement and number agreement, and the use of the article ‘a/an/the’. The research findings show that the tense agreement error is 80, the number agreement error is 10, the omission of article a/an is 4, the omission of article ‘the’ is 153, the addition of article ‘a/an’ is 1, and the addition of article ‘the’ is 8. Hence, there are 300 grammatical errors found. Meanwhile, there are two sources of the grammatical errors; they are inter-language error and intra-language error. Yet, four factors cause grammatical error namely indeterminacy, inconsistency, simplification, and overgeneralization. Based on the findings, the researcher gives constructive pedagogical remediation which is directed to the EFL learners, English language instructor, and the syllabus developer.

La justicia es la expresión cultural con mayor trascendencia dentro de la humanidad desde tiempos históricos, es considerada como un principio universal que genera “un balance apropiado entre reclamos competitivos y a principios que asignan derechos y obligaciones y definen una división apropiada de las ventajas sociales” (Squella, 2010); sin embargo al ser un tema ético y al tener diversas definiciones, es subjetivo considerando que cada persona tiene su propia idealización respecto al tema y ha sido variable a lo largo del tiempo e involucrada en ámbitos sociales, políticos, económicos, laborales, e ideológicos.

El estudio tuvo como objetivo general determinar la influencia de la gestión administrativa y de la motivación en la producción de la empresa de productos naturales IPIFA, 2020. La metodología empleada se basó en el enfoque cuantitativo con un nivel explicativo. Se desarrolló bajo el diseño no experimental, de corte transversal - correlacional causal. La población estuvo conformada por 60 trabajadores de la empresa IPIFA, a quienes se les aplicó como instrumento de recolección de datos una encuesta con opción múltiple de respuesta. Se concluyó en que el modelo elegido sí explica que las variables independientes inciden en la variable dependiente, debido a que el nivel de significancia fue de 0,000, con un 95% de confianza, lo que afirma que el modelo presenta un buen ajuste del 57% (Nalgerkerke = 0,570) es decir, el modelo sí predice la probabilidad de ocurrencia de las dimensiones de la variable dependiente. Se concluye en que la gestión administrativa y la motivación sí influyen en la producción de la empresa de productos naturales IPIFA; por ello, se rechaza la hipótesis nula.

El presente artículo de investigación tiene como objetivo general el analizar la mediación civil y mercantil en España, así como sus novedades legislativas, entre los que destaca el Anteproyecto de Ley de impulso de mediación y el Anteproyecto de Eficacia Procesal del Servicio Público de Justicia. El enfoque de la investigación es descriptivo y está basado en métodos teóricos. En este sentido, se ha profundizado en analizar la vigente Ley 5/2012, de 6 de julio, de Mediación en Asuntos Civiles y Mercantiles y sus principales aportaciones y características fundamentales y, por otro lado, se ha detallado los puntos más importantes respecto del Anteproyecto de Impulso de Mediación y el Anteproyecto de Eficacia Procesal del Servicio Público de Justicia aprobado en diciembre de 2020 a través del cual se ha traído a colación aspectos reseñables como la exigencia del intento de negociación antes de interponer la demanda correspondiente así como el valor de cosa juzgada del acuerdo alcanzado entre las partes. Una de las principales conclusiones de la investigación es que, gracias al impulso en la implementación de los métodos alternativos de resolución de conflictos (MARC) en España, a través de los Anteproyectos citados anteriormente, según el Ministerio de Justicia, produciría la descongestión del sistema judicial español en más de medio millón de procedimientos. Esto supondría un gran ahorro que se utilizaría para la mejora de la Administración de Justicia en España.

MODERN ARAP EDEBİYATINDA MUÂRAZA: AHMED ŞEVKÎ-HÂŞİM er-RİFÂÎ ÖRNEĞİ
Authors: YILDIZ Ahmet
Published: March 2021

Modern Mısır edebiyatında Nahda şairleri arasında sayılan Ahmed Şevkî (ö. 1932), şiirlerinde klasik Arap edebiyatı üslubunu kullanmış güçlü bir ediptir. Şiirleriyle Mısır halkının duygularına tercüman olan Şevkî, pek çok şairi etkilemiştir. Hâşim er-Rifâî (ö. 1959) de bunlardan biridir. 1935 yılında doğan, yaşadığı dönemin siyasî olaylarında İslâmcı duruşuyla tanınan ve bu nedenle komünistler tarafından bir hedef hâline gelen Hâşim, 1959 yılında öldürülmüştür. Erken yaşlarda şiir yazmaya başlayan Hâşim, ardında bir şiir divanı bırakmış, Şevkî gibi tiyatro yazmış ve onun bazı kasidelerine muârazalar yapmıştır. Bu çalışmada, Hâşim’in divanında yer alan Nehcü’l-Bürde, Mevlidü’n-Nûr ve el-Ezher isimli kasideler incelenmiştir. Bu üç kaside isimlendirme, revî harfi, kafiye, vezin, muhteva ve beyit sayısı yönünden ele alınmış, nazîreleri olan Ahmed Şevkî’ye ait kasidelerle karşılaştırılmış, Şevkî’nin şiirlerinin, Hâşim’in şiirlerine etkisi tespit edilmiştir. Böylece câhiliye döneminden beri var olan muâraza sanatının 20. yüzyıldaki örnekleri incelenerek, bir şairin şiirinde kullandığı şekil ve muhtevanın, diğer şairlerin eserlerine etkisi göz önüne serilmiştir.Bu makale için 06-10-2021 tarihinde bir düzeltme yayınlandı. https://dergipark.org.tr/tr/pub/daad/issue/65219/1003205

Objetivo: Desenvolver um modelo de dieta rica em gordura (DRG) que sozinho não resultou em doença hepática gordurosa não alcoólica (DHGNA), permitindo estudar a associação de comorbidades com o modelo de dieta rica em gordura. Material e métodos: Os ratos foram divididos em 2 grupos: dieta padrão e dieta rica em gordura, cada grupo com 8 animais. Os ratos foram submetidos à análise dos seguintes parâmetros no tecido hepático: dosagem de malondialdeído (MDA), glutationa (GSH) e atividade da mieloperoxidase (MPO). As amostras de fígado também foram avaliadas histopatologicamente quanto aos níveis séricos de alanina aminotransferase (ALT), aspartato aminotransferase (AST), albumina (ALB), fosfatase alcalina (FAL), ácido úrico e colesterol total (TC), cálcio (CA), ureia e HDL. Resultados: Mostraram que houve diferença significativa em MDA, GSH, colesterol total (CT), ALT, ALB, ácido úrico (AU), cálcio (CA) e HDL. A avaliação histopatológica apresentou escore baixo, insuficiente para a classificação da DHGNA. Conclusão: Este estudo demonstrou que o modelo de dieta rica em gordura não causou DHGNA. Esse achado permite utilizar a dieta hiperlipídica caracterizada neste estudo para investigar as possíveis alterações hepaticas causadas por outras comorbidades.
