The Role of Tempo and Primacy in Rhythm Similarity: A Multidimensional Scaling Evaluation
Authors: Moritz Matthew , Heard Matthew , Lee Yune
Published: November 2019

Despite the long history of music psychology, rhythm similarity perception remains largely unexplored. Several existing studies suggest that the edit-distance model—which is based on the number of notational changes required to transform one rhythm into another—can predict rhythm similarity judgements. Nevertheless, edit-distance has not been evaluated in the presence of other musical factors such as rhythms that also differ in tempo. Here, eighteen participants rated the degree of similarity of a series of pair-wise rhythm phrases in which edit-distance was varied from 1 to 4, and tempo was set at either 90 or 150 beats per minute. Non-metric multidimensional scaling (nMDS) revealed that rhythm similarity ratings were clustered based upon either tempo or the identical onset pattern (i.e., primacy), but not based on edit-distance. Linear mixed effects modeling further confirmed the nMDS visualizations by yielding main effects of tempo and primacy. It also revealed interactions between edit-distance, tempo, and primacy, thus partially supporting edit-distance. That is, edit-distance predicted rhythm similarity only when tempo or primacy were controlled. Together, our findings suggest that the effects of tempo and primacy outweigh that of edit-distance, prompting a revision of theories regarding human percept of rhythm similarity.
Tonal hierarchy representations in auditory imagery
Authors: Vuvan Dominique T , Schmuckler Mark A.
Published: November 2019

Two experiments investigated psychological representations of musical tonality in auditory imagery. In Experiment 1, musically trained participants heard a single tone as a perceptual cue and built an auditory image of a specified major tonality based on that cue; participants’ images were then assessed using judgments of probe tones. In Experiment 2 participants imaged a minor tonality rather than a major one. Analysis of the probe tone ratings indicated that participants successfully imaged both major and minor tonal hierarchies, demonstrating that auditory imagery functions comparably to auditory perception. In addition, the strength of the major tonal image was dependent upon the pitch and tonal relations of the perceptual cue and the to-be-imaged tonality. Finally, representations of minor tonal hierarchies were less robust than those of major ones, converging with perceptual evidence that minor tonalities are less psychologically stable than major tonalities.
How does familiarity with a person affect trait ratings?
Authors: Lavan Nadine , Mileva Mila , McGettigan Carolyn
Published: November 2019

From only a single spoken word, listeners can form a wealth of first impressions of a person’s character traits and personality based on their voice. However, due to the substantial within-person variability in voices, these trait judgements are likely to be highly stimulus-dependent for unfamiliar voices: the same person may sound very trustworthy in one recording but less trustworthy in another. How trait judgements may change when listeners are familiar with a voice is unclear: Are listeners who are familiar with the voices as susceptible to the effects of within-person variability? Does the semantic knowledge listeners have about a familiar person influence their judgements? In the current study, we aimed to empirically test the effect of familiarity on listeners’ trait judgements from variable voices, by tracking how first impressions may differ from second (or “lasting”) impressions. For this purpose, we conducted a series of 3 experiments in which we contrasted trait judgments for listeners who were familiar with a set of voices – either through lab-based training or through watching a TV show – with listeners who were unfamiliar with the voices. We predicted that familiarity would reduce variability in trait judgements for variable voice recordings from the same identity (cf. Mileva, Kramer & Burton, 2019 for faces). However, across the 3 studies and two types of measures to assess variability, we found no compelling evidence to suggest that trait impressions were systematically affected by familiarity.
Consequences of infant adoption in Taiwan, 1906-1945: The impact of regional context and household composition on child mortality
Authors: Riswick Tim
Published: November 2019

Little is known about health outcomes after adoption in historical non-Western settings and previous studies have found contradictory results of the influence of adoption on mortality risks. This study investigates if, and how, adoption of infants increased child mortality risks compared to non-adopted children. Moreover, it goes further than existing studies by investigating if, and how, after adoption, household composition and regional context influenced child mortality risks of these adopted children in Taiwan during the period 1906-1945. It uses the Taiwan Historical Household Register Database to answer these questions, estimating univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard models. The study demonstrates that child mortality risks of both male and female adopted children were much higher compared to non-adopted children. After adoption, household composition was especially important for adopted girls. In particular, similarly aged siblings increased child mortality risks of girls, indicating that the adoptees suffered the consequences of a reallocation of resources. The negative effect of infant adoption on child mortality was the same in all regional contexts. In sum, household composition and regional context should be taken into account when investigating child mortality risks, or other indicators of health inequalities, of adopted children.

DERIVATIONAL ADAPTATION OF ENGLISH LOAN WORDS INTO THE ADJECTIVE SUBSYSTEM OF THE UKRAINIAN LANGUAGE
Authors: Bytkivska Ya. V.
Published: November 2019

The article tackles the issue of the behavior of English loan-words (adjectives) in the derivational system of the Ukrainian language. It particularly covers the issue of their adaptation to the word-building norms of the target language, collocations with domestic lexemes, as well as the influence of foreign elements upon the microstructures of the target language. The practical material consists of the anglicisms used in mass media, fiction, conversational speech and internet resources. The terms “direct anglicism” (English lexemes borrowed from the source language by means of transcription or/and transliteration) and “mediated anglicism” (borrowed English lexemes that on the ground of the target language obtained new word-buildings and form-building affixes) are introduced. According to the research that social orders as well as the popularity of some anglicisms accelerate their adaptation to the word-building peculiarities of the Ukrainian language. After the attachment of the derivative formants the mediated anglicisms widen their denotation range by means of new semes. The modification suffixes emphasize the subjective attitude of a speaker towards the nomination object. Transpositional and mutative suffixes cause the expansion of word-building nests. The widespread usage of anglicisms in everyday speech and slang caused their adjustment to phonetic games and linguistic experiments. On the other hand, the utilizations of suffixoids as well as word-building substantive structures show the influence of the source language on the target one.
SEMANTIC FEATURES OF TRANSLATION OF GERMAN FRAZEOLOGISMSIN HISTORICAL TRAGEDY OF RUDOLF VON GOTTSHALL “MAZEPA” IN Y. FEDKOVICH’S INTERPRETATION
Authors: Chura Yu. O.
Published: November 2019

The article deals with the most famous of German-speaking Mazepa-works of the nineteenth century – the historical tragedy of R. Gottschal’s "Mazepa" and its Ukrainian translation by Yu. Fedkovich. An overview of the critical reception of the German-speaking Mazepa-works proves that the work has received the greatest resonance in Ukrainian literary criticism. In addition, the historical tragedy is the only German-language work on Hetman translated into Ukrainian by Yurij Fedkovich. Among the most important factors of Y. Fedkovych's appeal to work on the historical tragedy is the Ukrainian theme from the past of our people.

The analysis of the Ukrainian language version is based on the following criteria for the adequacy of the translation: the translation of realities, in particular, military terminology and ranks of the Cossack army; idioms; reproduction of author syntax and style; observance of the equilibrium of the original work. The article is based on the identification of priorities in the use of expressive means.

As a result of comparison of realities, it was discovered that most of the time Y. Fedkovych made a contextual translation or found a situational collocation that was understandable to the people. Military ranks and attributes of the Cossack army were translated with the help of hyperonymic renaming, which testifies to the priority of the principle of historical authenticity in Y. Fedkovych's approach as a bearer of language.

It was made possible to describe the features of the creative manner and the individual author’s style of Y. Fedkovych’s translation, embodied in his interpretation of German tragedy.

The role of the historical tragedy of R. von Gottschal in promoting the German-speaking Mazepa-works is decisive. Y. Fedkovich's translation remains the only Ukrainian-language version among a number of numerous German-language works devoted to Ivan Mazepa.

Published: November 2019

The article outlines the peculiarities of humor of the original cinematic texts in «Brooklyn 9-9» series and their translation, as well as analyzes the most typical errors and causes of their occurrence. The «Brooklyn 9-9» series is full of jokes that can be classified as dark or so-called black humor. In the cinematic discourse films filled with such kind of humor are called black comedies. The latter is well-deservedly considered to be one of the most difficult genres of cinema. It is iconic for black comedies to incorporate jokes about different sacred things, such as race, human nature, diseases, funerals, disabilities, death, values and desires whilst this kind of humor is usually forbidden in a more formal setting. When working with cinematic text containing elements of black humor, a translator faces a serious number of problems and tasks. To render a source text into a target language adequately, it is important to identify the genre-stylistic dominant of the cinematic text, and to reproduce story-forming speech acts in different contexts. For black comedy cinematic texts chronotopic, characterological, compositional and lexical-semantic contexts will be relevant. According to these, the examples of black humor and puns in «Brooklyn 9-9» series were analyzed.

Published: November 2019

The article deals with the problem of professional communicative competence development in foreign students of medical specialties while their learning of the Ukrainian language. Teaching effectiveness mostly depends on purposeful and consistent consideration of the prospects of professionally oriented communication development in the structure of educational content of the textbooks in the subject «Ukrainian as a Foreign Language». Review of the available textbooks and manuals in the Ukrainian Language for foreign students have proved that they don’t always meet modern methodical concepts and don’t fully satisfy educational demand in the comprehensive professionally oriented communicative material. Nation wide textbook in Ukrainian as a Foreign Language, compiled by the composite authors of one-field departments on the initiative of the Reference Department of Linguistics of Ivano-Frankivsk National Medical University and filed for publication to the printing house «Medicine», is aimed to fill in the mentioned above gap in the scope of higher educational institutions of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine.

The fundamental conceptual framework, methodical approaches and material presentation in the novel textbook “Ukrainian as a Foreign Language” for the students of higher educational institutions of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine have been analyzed in this article. It has been proved that the aim of the textbook is developing in foreign medical students of communicative, linguistic, sociocultural and professionally oriented competence thus ensuring the efficient use of the Ukrainian language in various situations of educational, social and professional communication. In the process of textbook compilation, the composite authors have defined communicative e pragmatic and competent approaches, which are based on the application of simulated situations, i.e. doctor-patient conversation, as the principle ones for the development of future doctors’ communicative skills.

While elaborating the tasks in all types of speech activity (reading, writing, listening, and speaking) and distributing vocabulary and communicative material in conformity with the education specialty, the textbook authors have adhered to the principle of successive consistency thus assuring implementation of the principle of adjustment of the training content to the communicative needs of the medical students.
ROLE-HERO IN TARAS SHEVCHENKO’S POETRY
Authors: Moroz L. V. Moroz
Published: November 2019

The article deals with the artistic phenomenon of role lyrics as a poetic text constructed in the form of a holistic speech statement and organized from a person who is distanced from the author and can not be identified taking into consideration biographical, socio-historical or gender status of the speech subject as well as the range of moral, ethical, ideological, aesthetic, existential values and representations submitted by him.

A separate type of role lyrics includes poetic texts that are generally constructed in the form of the expression of one or more characters while the author's representation is minimized in them to some separate and fragmentary replicas which function as a specific frame element that formally combines submitted representational forms. On the contrary, it does not transfer them into the artistic plane concerning auto-psychological form of expression. This type of role-playing lyricism is constructed in the form of a monologue or a dialogue with two or more characters or a role dramatic scene where the author's voice acts as a remark linking the voices of poetic speech subjects.

The article analyzes the problems of literary critics’ theoretical searches in their studies related to the lyrics subject organization specifics. It makes an attempt to characterize the spectrum of poetic speech subjects in role lyrics.

An attempt is also made to typologize the role types of author's consciousness expression in T. Shevchenko’s lyrics. The varieties of the hero’s character actual role-type (i.e. personalized and personified) are analyzed as well.

The hero’s actual role-type is defined as the type when degree of objectification confirms his categorical (at least, outwardly declared) non-identity with the author himself motivated by biographical, socio-professional, existential, etc. incompatibility.

The article also deals with the problems related to the methods of composite and speech design of poetic role-text. It outlines conceptual and substantive points which reveal themselves at the level of ideological and thematic concepts of expression.

Authors: Savchak I. V.
Published: November 2019

In the article it is noted that Ukraine's entry into the world community is a clear indication of the urgent need for professionals able to possess not only professional qualities, but also knowledge of a foreign language, therefore foreign language training should become a priority task of higher education. The methodology of training international relations specialists to the English dialogue communication has been characterized. The interaction of competitive, cognitive-communicative, personal and professional-oriented approaches to learning has been analyzed. The basic principles (general-didactic and special) that ensure the effectiveness of the educational process have been defined. All defined principles, focused on the development of professional speech of students, are closely interconnected, each of them complements another, therefore they are also interdependent. The traditional methods of teaching English dialogue communication, such as verbal-informative, visual-heuristic and practical-research, and active learning methods (business games, project methods, case-method, analysis of specific situations) have been singled out. Technique as an integral part of the method has been described. Techniques of mental activity (didactic: comparison, generalization, assessment of activities) and techniques of teaching (methodical:  the implementation of didactic tasks according to the model, making up a dialogue at a given beginning, working out of a presentation)have been single out. It has been proved that such forms of educational activities as conferences, presentations, excursions, and conducting classes of real professional activity were effective. Non-traditional forms of training contributed to immersing students into professional activities, help them to enhance their professional interest and allow them to demonstrate the ability to interact. The article states that the basis of the preparation of international relations specialists for the English dialogue communication is the expedient choice of forms and principles of training, the development of an excellent method of conducting classes, the use of balanced, thought-out and effective methods and means of teaching.
SOME ONTOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF MODERN HUMANITARY COMMUNICATION
Authors: Turchyn W. W. , Turchyn W. M.
Published: November 2019

This scientific article presents an integrated approach to the study of some ontological aspects of modern humanitary communication. Each phenomenon in science life has fundamental basis and modern humanitary communication is not an exception, because it has own invariable ontological basis of origin, existence and development. Professional communication in the humanities is based on immanent constituents that bear multifaceted ontological reflection to be investigated with a view to objectivise truth. Modern professional communication in the Humanities has a number of immanent constituents among which the leading place is taken by the linguistic process of philosophy of history and pragmatics as some of the sources the development of science. Modern humanitary communication is based on ontological peculiarities, regularities of its origin, existence and development. If one does not pay enough attention to the ontological aspects in research of the communicative process together with the anthropocentrism and humanism, it results in the one-sided enlightenment of relevant problems, connected with the humanitarian communication of the present time. The philosophical and linguo-psychological lexical units perform in German texts and discourses sometimes an expressive function and various connotations. They serve as vehicle of expressing pragmatic traits of corresponding notions owing to their being euphonious and exotic in our modern life. Particular attention is paid to the way of the linguistic, pragmatic and philosophical mental intelligence strategies that characterise the speaker/writer as an authoritative linguistic personality. Emphasized here are discursive and interpretive strategies tactics used to construct a cooperative scholarly communication, which sometimes depend on epochal intelligence, political, cultural, immanent philosophical peculiarities and development of present nation and civilization.
BIOGRAPHICAL NOVELS S. PROTSYUK IN AN INTERTEXTUAL DIMENSION
Authors: Chernysh A. О.
Published: November 2019

The article is devoted to the main markers of intertextuality in the novels of S. Protsyuk «The Rose of a Ritual Pain» and «Masks Falling Slowly» and their functioning in the text plane of the work. The intertextual potential of S. Protsyuk’s biographical novels manifests itself in the archetychtuality that manifests itself in the mixing of genre codes (artistic biography, epistolary, memoirs, essays), and the actual intertextuality claimed mainly by ancient Greek myths and mythologems (Cassandra, Dionysus, Ariadne, Orpheus, Eternal Woman, Eve, Sisyphus, Scylla and Charybda, the Trojan Kingdom), as well as sleepy myths, representing a powerful dream space. Artistically built in the structure of works images of ancient Greek mythology contribute to the assimilation of the tragic world perception of the heroes (Kassandra – Vasyl Stefanyk), hedonistic and idealized conception of life creation (Dionysus – Volodymyr Vynnychenko, Orpheus – Volodymyr Vynnychenko), risky and adventurous lifestyle (between Scylla and Kharybda) etc.  The names of famous artists and politicians (Grygoriy Skovoroda, Confucius, Seneca, Neron, Nietzsche, Baudelaire, Maupassant, Hitler, Stalin) have been introduced into the text plane of the novel «The Rose of a Ritual Pain», explaining in most cases the way of thinking, perception and understanding, as well as the creative manner, intellectual and spiritual development of Volodymyr Vynnychenko. The method of color matching used by S. Protsyuk senses the intertextual background of the novel about Vasyl Stefanyk, combined with quotations from Ukrainian folk songs. Much attention in the novel «Rose of a Ritual Pain» is paid to the existential motives of the work, distinguishing the key category of choice. The archetype of Mother, expressed in the novel about Vasyl Stefanyk, reinforces the intertextual potential of the work, distinguishing motives of grief, amount, loss.

HEADLINES AND THEIR FUNCTIONS IN PRESENT-DAY POLITICAL DISCOURSE OF MASS MEDIA
Authors: Danylenko O. S.
Published: November 2019

This paper considers headlines of German-language news articles and their functions in present-day political discourse of mass media. The concept of "political communication" is specified and the main target trends in studying news headlines from a linguistic point of view are interpreted. The headline is a text sign with a very strong effect, it has the following characteristics: informativeness, modality, formal construction and semantic completeness, interpretability, polyfunctionality. The high tempo and the level of the IT development change the manner of presenting material by focusing mostly on the readers of Internet news to whom of special importance is the degree of the newness of some information or the special viewpoint under which an information event is covered. The data for research within the framework of this paper are the headlines of articles with political news on the Deutsche Welle website. To reveal the mechanism of the influence of headlines on political discourse construction, special attention is paid to their functional and structural peculiarities in contemporary media space. The main structural types of news headlines are two-member sentences, headlines in the form of questions, elliptical headlines and nominative headlines difering from each other in the manner of presenting information. The prevailing structural pattern of the headline in the German-language press is a two-member sentence with a direct word order, the number of the words varying from six to eight. In the course of the analysis of news headlines the most typical functions are described: nominative-informative, graphically-highlighting, informational, influencing, advertising and evaluative-expressive as well as integrative and searching functions of headlines. Briefness and structural rigidity are characteristic of German-language news articles. The following principles are typical of the news articles on the Deutsche Welle website: intensified visualization, strongly pronounced interactivity, simplicity and promptness.
«ANGST KENNT KEIN PARDON» (CAMP DISCOURSE)
Authors: Tkachivska M. R.
Published: November 2019

The article “Angst kennt kein Pardon” (camp discourse) deals with the camp literature, provides examples from the poetic and prose works, analyses the reproduction of the person’s internal state during the stay in the camp.

The camp literature is a concept which belonged to the off-limits subjectsin the Soviet linguistic space. Since the 1980s and to this day, a considerable amount of archival data has been issued, they include evidence of the former prisoners of the concentration camps, as well as scientific studies on this subject in Europe. The aim of the article is the study of the German-language camp texts and analysis of the lexical units that denote the feeling of hunger, fear and homesickness in the novel of a famous German writer, a representative of the Romanian Germans Herta Müller “Atemschaukel” (“Breath-Swing”). The main objectives of the article include a review of the German-language camp literature, its brief description, study of the denotations “Hunger”, “Angst”, “Heimweh”, etc., which can be followed the camp texts.

Acknowledged with the Nobel Prize Award in 2010, the novel “Atemschaukel” is written on the bases of real events and memories. It tells about a Romanian guy who finds himself in the camp in Donetsk steppes; depicts the camp life, way of life, struggle for survival, inhuman attitude toward prisoners. The analysis of the lexical corpus of the work piece fixes the dominance of the denotations “Hunger” (hunger), “Angst” (fear), “Flucht” (escape), “Heimweh” (homesickness), indicating the physical and psychological state of life in the camp. The instinct of self-preservation as an important factor of survival in the camp is closely related to the need of food, evidenced by the dominance of such lexemes as Brot (bread), Zucker (sugar), Salz (salt) and generalized concepts Essen / essen / fressen (food, eat, guzzle). The most common colour denotation is weiß (white), which competes with the denotations grau (grey), rot (red) and schwarz (black), which make up the contrasting palette of the reality and imagination of the camp residents. Despite the unbearable desire to escape that prevails in the camp, the novel does not focus on the word “Hölle” (hell), which belonged to the frequently used in many descriptionsof the concentration camps.
COMPOUND SENTENCES OF PURPOSE AND CAUSE AS A KIND OF POLYMEMBER STRUCTURES WITH THE DIRECT CAUSATIVE MEANING: STRUCTURAL AND SEMANTIC ASPEKT (on the material of the novels of Vasyl Skliar “Chornyi Voron”, “Marusia”)
Authors: Svystun N. O.
Published: November 2019

Topicality of the research is due to the scientific need to systematize the reasons of syntactic structures in the studies which influence the choice of the writer. On this basis, the need of clarifying the factors that influenced the choice of writers is updated. This means that researchers pay attention not only to structural, semantic and communicative features of complex sentences, but special attention is paid to the study of their writing potential. Of course, expressive features and functions of complex sentences that are directly involved in their formulation and design composition are shown in fiction. In the contextual environment we are able to explore more features of such syntactic structures. Among the constructions that were not the subject of this comprehensive analysis, there are complex sentences with subordinate goals and causes as a variety of sentences dismembered with a value of condition in the novels by Vasyl Shklyar "Black Raven", "Marusya". The object of our scientific research is complex sentences with subordinate goals and causes as a variety of segmented structure sentences with the value of condition in the novels by Vasyl Shklyar "Black Raven", "Marusya".

The material of study includes novels by Vasyl Shklyar "Black Raven", in which "Marusya" 71 complex sentences of purpose, (33%), and 27 sentences of contractors reasons, (26%) of all complex sentences segmented structure with the value of condition. Were these singled out sentence structures perform a variety of functions: they help express the author’s attitude to the depicted events, reveal the inner world of the hero, a true atmosphere of sincere conversation. Complex sentences with subordinate causes in the analyzed Vasyl Shklyar novels are also represented, though not distinguished by the diversity of communication. They dominate in the stories of the characters, monologues and dialogues, landscape descriptions. These designs clearly differentiate artistic speech, eliminate ambiguity of complexity. Their functioning, semantic and stylistic role is regulated by individual author's style. Most sentences contain emotional and evaluative component, help to outline the spiritual ideals of the writer, his inner world and feelings. Certified units demonstrate the wealth of author’s artistic language. In this work we described only two types of sentences. Similar scientific research may be subject to further detailed studies and scientific interests.

Authors: Hertsovska N. О. , Labosh O. М.
Published: November 2019

In the history of any national culture, issues relating to human relationships, such as love and friendship, have always been and still remain of paramount importance. Aspects and the peculiarities of such relationships have always been the cause of misunderstandings among people. The phenomenon of love is still not fully understood. Therefore, the article explores the conceptual aspect of the love notion in English, the means of its verbalization and its main components. The love concept, which is verbalized by the means of contemporary English, is defined as a certain abstract unit that reproduces the centuries-old experience of the people in the form of various notions about this feeling. Love as a complex phenomenon of various spheres of human life has a high status in many disciplines of different cycles, therefore the study of this notion is relevant not only in lexicology or linguistics, but also in philosophy, ethics, sociology, and other sciences. Various linguistic means for representation of love in English have been studied and the main components of this notion have been identified. The main components of the notion of love have been defined, the expression of the notion in psychological texts has been analyzed, and duality as a conceptual feature of love has been described. Verbalized ideas about the inner world of a person who is the bearer of a particular culture have been considered. The notion of love has been investigated precisely from the linguistic side, also because the culture of love in the European space is primarily a verbal culture, which is closely linked to its verbal expression. There is every reason to believe that love is understood as one of the main aspects of human life and is recognized as one of the primary factors in human relationships, which is reflected in the language conceptualization. Thus, the conducted analysis allowed to reveal the versatility and multi-component character of the notion of love in the English language.
KAJIAN PERMASALAHAN FUNDAMENTAL DALAM SISTEM PENJAMINAN SIMPANAN INDONESIA
Authors: Setiawan, S.T. Sigit
Published: November 2019

Kajian ini mengetengahkan analisis terhadap tiga permasalahan fundamental yang dihadapi sistem penjamin simpanan Indonesia dan hingga kini masih menjadi pertanyaan serta keberatan sebagian lapisan masyarakat Permasalahan fundamental pertama adalah dasar-dasar argumen ditinggalkannya penjaminan menyeluruh (blanket guarantee) yang kemudian digantikan dengan sistem penjaminan simpanan terbatas. Permasalahan fundamental kedua adalah persepsi publik bahwa cakupan penjaminan maksimal sebesar Rp 100 juta sebagaimana diatur dalam UU no. 24 tahun 2004 terlalu rendah. Dengan demikian sebagian masyarakat menginginkan agar cakupan penjaminan simpanan sebesar Rp 2 miliar pada masa krisis sekarang ini tidak dikembalikan ke Rp 100 juta, namun ditingkatkan lebih dari jumlah tersebut. Sedangkan permasalahan fundamental ketiga adalah pertanyaan apakah sudah suatu keharusan memulai penggunaan kebijakan premi berbasis risiko untuk menggantikan premi flat rate yang dianggap kurang adil bagi sebagian kalangan perbankan.

Pra krisis ekonomi 1998, Indonesia merupakan Negara urutan ketiga dalam tujuan investasi langsung Jepang (FDIJ, dibawah China dan Amerika Serikat Namun, paska krisis ekonomi 1998 tersebut, posisi Indonesia turun ke ranking kedelapan dan telah dilewati oleh India, Thailand, Vietnam, Rusia, dan Brazil. Beberapa faktor yang menyebabkan terjadinya hal ini adalah: kondisi infrastruktur yang buruk di dalam negeri terutama masalah perlistrikan, kurangnya kepastian hukum, adanya pajak berganda, fluktuasi nilai tukar rupiah yang terlampau tajam, dan lemahnya hubungan antar industri (linkage) . Dalam perdagangan luar negeri Jepang merupakan partner dagang terbesar Indonesia. Pada tahun 2007, total perdagangan Indonesia Jepang mencapai nilai USD 23,6, merupakan yang terbesar di ASEAN dibandingkan perdagangan Negara anggota ASEAN lainnya terhadap Jepang. Namun jenis ekspor Indonesia ke Jepang di dominasi oleh komoditi dasar seperti minyak bumi, gas, bahan tambang, dan produk kayu. Sementara ekspor Negara anggota ASEAN yang lain ke Jepang seperti Singapura, Thailand dan Malaysia didominasi produk manufaktur berupa komponen yang mempunyai nilai tambah lebih tinggi. Gejala lainnya adalah bahwa ada tendensi peningkatan nilai perdagangan Indonesia dengan dua Negara Asia Timur yaitu China dan Korea. Hal ini positif bagi Indonesia namun kurang baik bagi kelanjutan hubungan ekonomi Indonesia Jepang. Berbagai masalah ini perlu dibicarakan secara lebih serius oleh kedua Negara agar nilai perdagangan dan investasi Indonesia Jepang dapat lebih meningkat lagi.

This paper examines the contribution, the effectiveness, and the efficiency of value added tax (VAT) revenue.lt also investigates the variables affecting the value added tax revenue. Using the ratio of VAT revenue to total government expenditures as the measurement of the contribution shows that VAT revenue contribution is 33 percent in average lower than income tax revenue contribution. Meanwhile the effectiveness of VAT is around 3,5 percent, still below the income tax effectiveness. In addition, the c-efficiency ratio is 0.50 in average which means that every 1 point increase in VAT tax rate results in an increase in VAT revenue by 0,50 percent of GDP. Furthermore, using ordinary least square estimation, the VAT revenue is determined by tax base, regulations, and the exemption policy where household and government consumption as tax base have positive and significant effect on VAT whereas previous import has a negative effect on VAT revenue.
