Stylistic Foregrounding in The Socio-Political Commentary of Selected Guardian Cartoons
Authors: Bamigboye Omolade , Omotunde Samuel Adebayo
Published: November 2019

The paper investigates the role of textual foregrounding in the understanding of cartoons in The Guardian, a Nigerian daily newspaper. To achieve this aim, Ballys stylistics of humor is used as theoretical basis. Ballys theory claims that there is a connection between language and the thoughts and feelings of its user. It also espouses the idea that as human beings, we respond emotionally in one way or the other to how a language is crafted in a particular context and by a particular user. This is especially the case for structures that are deemed humorous. Using a purposive data selection method, selected cartoon pieces from The Guardian about the 2015 general elections in Nigeria were collated, with a view to subjecting them to stylistic investigation. The eight selected cartoons are analyzed methodically, bringing out the stylistic use of foregrounding by the cartoonists. Findings reveal that through a shared body of world knowledge and current affairs, the cartoonist and his audience communicate via the short, witty and didactic cartoons in the overall interest of probity, decency, and accountability in the Nigerian public place. The artist highlights sensitive information he wishes to emphasize, by bringing such to the fore, through foregrounding. The conclusion and contribution to existing literature is that textual foregrounding, as a stylistic tool, is of immeasurable importance to the cartoonist in the daily execution of his art.

Authors: Faniran Olusegun A. FANIRAN , Ikotun Reuben O. , Oloyede Abiodun
Published: November 2019

This paper x-rays the utilitarian functions and the nature of vehicle inscriptions and stickers in south-western Nigeria. It traces the history of the use of vehicle writings in Nigeria in general and the southwest in particular chronicling their long history of usage, and noting that it is a common phenomenon nowadays to come across vehicles, most especially commercial ones, heavily bedecked with an array of colourful inscriptions and stickers of different sizes and in different languages and that the posting of the moving emblems on vehicles has become so prevalent and so widespread that there is hardly an automobile on the highways in South-western Nigeria that does not transport them. Our study also reveals that vehicle insignia are meant to serve different purposes some of which include construction of religious messages, moral/philosophical messages, group/individual identity messages, warning and cautionary messages, humours, wits, ribaldry, advertising, politics and public enlightenment messages among several others. Our study further reveals that inscriptions and stickers serve as formidable communicative tools used to transmit diverse messages to the decoders.

Authors: Myrlinda Fransiska Rahayu
Published: November 2019

Arranged marriage means a marriage in which the parents have chosen and planned to whom their son or daughter would marry with. This form of marriage commonly has perception that it is held only for the needs of their parents without any consideration of their childrens feelings. It results in there is no freedom for either bride or groom to choose their own partner. All the things have been set according to the parents will. In arranged marriage, usually they even never have a chance to meet each other before the marriage occurs. On the other hand, arranged marriage does exist and has been believed as a culture for Samin people in Kelopodhuwur, Blora, Indonesia. It is held from generation to generation which makes it impossible for the children to deny. It is used by the people in Samin community to preserve their identity from extinction. There are lots of unique rituals should be done for Samin people in holding this arranged marriage. The identity theory was used to support the reliable data to the research.

Estrabón, clasicismo e Hispania
Authors: Sáseta Naranjo Rafael Antonio
Published: November 2019

Este artículo se centra en el análisis de fuentes utilizadas por el autor Estrabón en el libro III de su obra geográfica, dedicado a Hispania, y en el papel de este autor como transmisor de las mismas. Para comprender las características de esa condición de transmisor debemos atender a los principales aspectos ideológicos y culturales que conformaron su personalidad, como autor heleno de época augústea. Dichos aspectos mayormente vienen determinados por la corriente literaria del clasicismo y por la doctrina estoica. Manteniendo importantes puntos de conexión, ambas se armonizarían para conformar la mentalidad del autor. Entender esa mentalidad será una forma de acercarnos a los autores transmitidos, y ver los puntos de discrepancia y coincidencia respecto al transmisor.
Las estelas antropomorfas de Asturias y su relación con las oicomorfas
Authors: Santos Yanguas Narciso
Published: November 2019

Un trío de estelas con representación humana aparecidas en la región central de Asturias nos ofrece una morfología comparable a las representaciones de las inscripciones oicomorfas de dicho ámbito geográfico.  A estos ejemplares tal vez habría que añadir otros dos, que ofrecen cierto paralelismo con los anteriores: el primero por la figuración esquemática de la difunta y el segundo por la iconografía que rodea el campo epigráfico. Todos ellos parecen manifestar una conexión evidente entre la representación solar y el mundo de ultratumba.

La fuente clásica del preámbulo al “fatigado fin y remate que tuvo el gobierno de Sancho Panza” ('Quijote' II,53)
Authors: López-Cañete Quiles Daniel
Published: November 2019

El presente artículo estudia, por primera vez, el comienzo de DQ II,53 como exponente de un antiguo tópico (la antítesis ‘ciclos eternos de la naturaleza-linealidad y brevedad de la vida humana’) con frecuencia recreado en el Renacimiento. Se defiende que el principal modelo literario es Horacio, carm. 4,7,9-16 y se intenta corroborar esta tesis mostrando, en el texto cervantino, reminiscencias verbales del comentario al carmen 4,7 ofrecido por J. Villén de Biedma en su Declaración magistral en lengua castellana de Horacio (1599). Adicionalmente, se analiza una posible evocación del Libro de Job, no detectada con anterioridad, y se analizan aspectos de la confluencia de la fuente horaciana con ese antecedente bíblico y con ecos de un verso de Góngora.
Deconstrucción y crítica del 'ethos' épico en 'Lavinia' (2008) de Ursula K. Le Guin
Authors: Teodoro Peris Josep Lluís
Published: November 2019

Ursula K. Le Guin reescribe en Lavinia (2008) la leyenda del establecimiento de Eneas en Italia desde el punto de vista de su protagonista femenina. Este artículo analiza tres aspectos donde el nuevo planteamiento narrativo entra en conflicto con la propuesta virgiliana: la recreación de la religión arcaica de los latinos, la racionalización del aparato mitológico propio de la épica, y la crítica directa a las virtudes morales propias del estamento guerrero.

Notas sobre la 'Epistola ad Taionem presbiterum' (4 [11]) de Braulio de Zaragoza
Authors: Rodríguez Joel Varela
Published: November 2019

: La epístola 4 (11 para los editores antiguos) del Epistolario de Braulio de Zaragoza, dirigida al entonces presbítero Tajón, ha sido utilizada con frecuencia para sostener la existencia de una obra perdida de éste. Tal idea carece de fundamento y se aducirán argumentos para refutarla. Del mismo modo, el análisis del conjunto de la epístola revela su objeto básicamente moralizante, con un influjo importante de la epístola 50 de Jerónimo.

Evaluating Efficiency of Waqf Institutions: An Intermediation Approach Using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA)
Authors: Misbahrudin Nor Tasik
Published: November 2019

Waqf is a voluntary charity that cannot be disposed of and the ownership cannot be transferred once it is declared as waqf assets. Waqf institutions play an important role in helping the development of Muslims ummah through wealth distribution. State Islamic Religious Councils (SIRCs) in Malaysia are the sole trustee that manage and develop waqf assets. Based on selected input and output, the intermediary approach assumes that cash waqf received as output while total expenditure of SIRCs as input. Under this approach SIRCs act as intermediary between waqif (giver) and beneficiaries. Thus, this paper attempts to analyze the efficiency of waqf institutions in Malaysia by using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method under output-orientation using Variable Return to Scale (VRS) assumptions. Four SIRCs were selected as decision making units (DMU) for the period of 2011 to 2015. The result indicates that changes in average technical efficiency for every year is contributed by both pure technical and scale. However, inefficiency of Malaysian waqf institutions is mostly contributed by pure technical efficiency aspects rather than scale. 2012 showed the highest average technical efficiency with 73.9% as most of the institutions operated in optimum level of input to produce output. Thus, the result suggests that both technical and scale efficiency should be improved to achieve the most efficient and productive level of performance in order to fulfill objectives of the institutions as an intermediary between waqif and beneficiaries.

Authors: Hawariyuni Weni , Hj. Kassim Salina
Published: November 2019

Objective – This study proposes an integrated Islamic microfinance model in alleviating poverty and improving the performance of microenterprises based on a case study of Indonesia, by focusing specifically on BRI Microbanking. Design/methodology – This study adopts the exploratory study to construct the integrated Islamic microfinance with the purpose to alleviate poverty and enhance the business performance of enterprises. Results – As Islamic microfinance is known widely due to the high demand from Muslim countries. Since, it plays a crucial role effectively in alleviating poverty and developing the business performance on enterprises, particularly on microenterprises. Presently, many scholars attempted to build a successful Islamic microfinance model by using Islamic financing instruments such as mudarabah,  musyarakah, and murabahah. This study attempts to build an integrated Islamic microfinance model by using BRI Syariah Micro as a case study. It is expected that this integrated Islamic microfinance model can enrich existing models in terms of social and economic aspects. Originality/Value – This research concentrates on proposing an integrated Islamic microfinance model based on the case study of BRI Syariah Microbanking. There seems to be a gap in the literature on the actual implementation of integrated Islamic microfinance in the world. The study highlights major factors to be emphasized to ensure the effectiveness of proposing an integrated Islamic microfinance model for BRI Syariah micro banking to alleviate poverty and to improve the performance of microenterprises.
Prevention of Earnings Management through Audit Committee and Audit Quality in the Award-Winning and Non-Winning Companies
Authors: Iriyadi Iriyadi
Published: November 2019

Objective – The purpose of this study is to determine the role of the audit committee and the quality of external audits on the prevention of earnings management. Design/methodology – The study was conducted using data from 34 winning and non-winning companies for Annual Report Awards (ARA) and Good Corporate Governance (GCG) Awards in 2008-2011, the period of the global economic crisis after the Enron and Worldcom cases in 2002 which triggered the strengthening of the role of the audit committee and external audit.  Results – This study found that two important components of the corporate governance structure; audit committee, and external audit, did not affect earnings management. However, by adding the Award control variable, it shows that there is a difference in the effect on earnings management between winners and non-award winners. It suggest that shareholders must continue to strengthen the role of the audit committee and external audit because earnings management is behavior and opportunity for management to deliberately change financial statements that are not easily proven except in very material quantities and over a period of several years. In addition, shareholders, creditors, and regulators should require company management to take part in ARA and GCG Award competitions. Research limitations/implications – The limitation of this study is the small number of samples and the relatively short period of only two years.

Proses pengintegrasian sistem transportasi melalui proyek BRT telah menyiapkan sejumlah sarana prasana seperti pembukaan koridor halte yang telah memiliki jalur Bus Line namun belum optimal karena tidak memiliki jalur Busway sendiri masih melewati jalur umum bersama dengan kendaraan lainnya padahal BRT ini dapat maksimal dan efektif bila menggunakan jalur Busway tersendiri. Kemudahan masyarakat dalam memanfaatkan BRT belum terwujud secara optimal ini terlihat dari waktu menunggu dan jadwal kedatangan BRT yang sulit diprediksi, oleh karena itu akses BRT ini masih belum dapat dikategorikan sebagai alternatif akses. Aplikasi yang diakses masyarakat melalui smart phone berbasis android masih membutuhkan pengembangan dan penyesuaian fitur-fitur dalam aplikasinya. Selain itu, penggunaan aplikasi transportasi seperti Grab dan Gojek yang diaplikasikan secara online lebih diminati masyarakat karena lebih cepat dan sangat fleksibel sementara BRT mesti menunggu pada halte yang disediakan dengan perkiraan waktu yang tidak menentu.
