Considerações sobre o 'se': o pronome camaleão
Authors: Dutra Rosália 
Published: March 2016

Resumo: A natureza camaleônica do pronome SE tem dado margem a estudos que abordam principalmente problemas relacionados à passivização, à indeterminação do agente e à reflexivização: três de suas colorações mais freqüentes. No âmbito geral é meu objetivo mostrar com esse trabalho que as três colorações deste pronome camaleão podem se manifestar simultaneamente e que considerações relativas à posição de certos elementos na sentença, à especificação semântico-pragmática do item lexical em questão (i.e. no caso do verbo) e o contexto pragmático em que a sentença se insere são indispensáveis no sentido de determinar a função exata desse pronome nassentenças do português. Mais detalhadamente pretendo mostrar que o português apresenta evidências do que Comrie (1977) chama 'Spontaneous Subject Demotion' (doravante: Deslocamento Espontâneo do Sujeito), fenômeno esse que envolve tanto as construções com SE como construções sem SE, i.e. construções normalmente consideradas como ativas.
Discussion of the anatomy, physiology and pathology involved in Dysarthria and Apraxia
Authors: Antunes Dilza Dantas Rodrigues 
Published: March 2016

Abstract: The articulation of the speech sounds depends on the coordination and the movements of the articulator's muscles, the oral sensation and the overall sensory information (feedback mechanism) about the articulator's performance. When something is wrong with one or more parts of those units, phoneme misarticulations may occur.Dysarthria and apraxia are disorders of speech due to lesian that affect the coordination and the movements of the articulator's muscles. We are going to discuss the anatomy, physiology and pathology involved in those two kinds of speech disorders.
Conceitos de estilística

Résumé: La présent article est essentiellement un travail de réflexion. Il enrisage le fait linguistique du style d'une perspective à la fois critique et poétique, ce qui met en question la définition même de stylistique. Nous voyons, en conséquence, que la stylistique n'est pas matiêre à des généralisations ardues, encore moins à une synthèse définitive. Les re-formulations successives de la théorie scientifique du langage naus amènent à une mise-au-point des discussions développées autour de l'expérlence linguistique, en tant que fait d'expresslon. Comment les hornmes font-ils du sens avec les mots, et comment font-ils des mots avec leur pensée et leurs sentiments; voià un problème d'ordre sémantique et qui touche égalernent le domaine poétique et littérarie. Nous sommes, pourtant, devant la question du rôle de la stylistique et de ses rapports aussi avec le science du langage.
A literatura de ficção ou a ficção da literatura?
Authors: Walty Ivete Lara Camargos 
Published: March 2016

Resumo: Este trabalho tem por objetivo discutir a relatividade do conceito de literatura tendo em vista a dificuldade de se estabelecer limites entre realidade e ficção. Para isso faz-se necessário estabelecer relações entre realidade e linguagem. Estas, duas categorias não são distintas, já que toda apreensãodo real, é feita através da linguagem e esta é determinada pela cultura. Assim sendo, os conceitos de «literatura» são sempre relativos na medida em que são ideológicos.Résumé: Ce travail a pour but de discuter quelques concepts de littérature, parmi des plus fréquents, à partir de la présupposition que les frontières entre la fiction et le réel sont relatives. C'est pourquoi on a besoin également d'établir les rapports entre la realité et le langage. Ces deux catégories ne sont pas distinctes, puisque toute l'appréhension du réel est faite à travers le langage et celle-là est déterminée par la culture. Voilà pourquoi les concepts de «littérature» sont toujours relatifs dans la mesure ou lis sont idéologiques.

Exame da conceituação de 'anáfora' e das suas relações com as noções de dado/novo
Authors: Fulgêncio Lúcia Monteiro de Barros 
Published: March 2016

Resumo: Neste trabalho é examinada a definição de anáfora com base na característica de "presença do antecedente na 'consciousness'"; são observados exemplos onde não é possível explicar a interpretação da anáfora com base neste princípio, uma vez que nem sempre os elementos anafóricos possuem o status 'dado' (de acordo com a definição deste termo apresentada em Liberato (1980)). É observado também, em alguns casos, o relacionamento das anáforas com conceitos que fazem parte de um esquema evocado, e que são trazidos a um nível mais superficial da memória juntamente com o referente do item léxico explícito no texto. É examinado o papel da predicação nos casos onde existem concorrentes viáveis a antecedente, mostrando-se o seu funcionamento como um filtro de ambigüidades.Abstract: This paper examines the definition of anaphora in terms os the characteristics of "the presence of the antecedent in 'consciousness'". It is observed that in certain cases it is not possible to explain the interpretation of the anaphora on the basis of this principle, since sometimes the anaphoric expression do not have the status 'given' (according to the definition of this term presented in Liberato (1980)). The anaphoric relationship with concepts that are part of an evoked schema, which are brought to a more superifcial level of memory, together with the referent of the explicit word, is also discussed. Predication is examined in examples where there are viable competitors to function as antecedent, in which cases it works as a filter for ambiguity.
Problem-Based Learning In Accounting

Published: March 2016

Seasoned educators use an assortment of student-centered methods and tools to enhance their students learning environment. In respects to methodologies used in accounting, educators have utilized and created new forms of problem-based learning exercises, including case studies, simulations, and other projects, to help students become more active versus passive learners. New instructional technologies have also aided in and supported the development of more efficient and effective instructional and learning environments. As a result, these new innovations have proven very effective in delivering and using educational information. The increased utilization of new technologies, user-friendly software, and advanced forms of delivery systems has allowed teachers to engage more students in the learning process. As a result, these new methodologies and tools have enables the students to access, communicate, and share more information more efficiently and effectively in and out of the classroom. This article helps to review some of the more common methods and tools which are being utilized by seasoned instructors.

Valuing Technology Stocks With EVA: A Bridge Too Far?
Authors: Silverman Henry I. 
Published: March 2016

The Economic Value Added (EVA™) framework has engendered a great deal of attention from American and European companies, consultants, accounting firms, security analysts, fund managers and the media for its purported utility in accurately valuing public companies. In 1996, for example, Fortune Magazine trumpeted that hundreds of companies had recently “renounced” earnings per share in favour of EVA™ as a means of measuring performance and driving stock prices. During the 1990s, investors witnessed unprecedented growth in US equity prices, particularly for technology firms. This case study critically examines the Economic Value Added EVA™ framework and attempts to rationalize the bull market in technology stocks by employing EVA™ to estimate the intrinsic value of a large proportion of the US technology sector as of 1999 and comparing this figure with contemporaneous market values for the same. We find a marked disparity between EVA™ estimates of Present Value and actual market value for the sector.

Texar Federal Credit Union: Where Your Friends Are
Authors: Davis Larry R. , Brumm Joan , McDonald Jr Charles 
Published: March 2016

TEXAR Federal Credit Union (formerly Bowie County Teachers Credit Union, Bowie-Cass Teachers Credit Union, and the Teachers Federal Credit Union) has been, from inception in 1951, a provider of a broad range of financial services to its members, primarily in Texarkana, Texas, and Arkansas and the surrounding areas. The credit union experienced normal growth over the years as it progressed through major name changes, especially to TEXAR in 2001. Another significant milestone was the decision to launch a major building program that concluded with moving into a new, large, and modern building in 2003. As the national economy went into a recession in 2008, the states of Texas and Arkansas experienced economic slowdowns that were not as significant as the changes that were reflected in the economic indicators at the national level or those experienced by other states that were much more severely affected. The Texarkana area economy was moderately affected by slowdowns in lending, especially for housing, automobiles, and other durable products.There was additional impact by an elevation in member loan defaults. Another significant occurrence, not related to the local economy, was the failure of U.S. Central Federal Credit Union and Western Corporate (WesCorp) Federal Credit Union and the financial losses of Southwest Corporate Federal Credit Union.Similar to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation that insures losses in the banking industry, the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF) insures losses among credit unions. To help cover the losses of U.S. Central and WesCorp, TEXAR was assessed approximately $750,000 and because of the losses at Southwest Corporate, it was assessed approximately $700,000.That is the essence of this case.
The Supreme Courts Decision On The Affordable Care Act: Abrogating Article III Of The Constitution
Authors: Carrigan Martin D. 
Published: March 2016

In National Federation of Independent Business v. Katherine Sebelius, Secretary of Health and Human Services, Case No. 11393, the Supreme Court of the United States affirmed most of the 2010 Affordable Care Act (ACA). In holding the ACA as valid (constitutional), Chief Justice Roberts reasoned that the taxing power in the U.S. Constitution was the reason that the law was enforceable. Although a strong dissent on such reasoning was written by four other Justices, Roberts also wrote that laws are entrusted to our nations elected leaders, who can be thrown out of office if the people disagree with them. [1]Roberts also wrote that the Commerce Clause in the U.S. Constitution did not give Congress authority to pass the ACA. Moreover, Congress could not impose unfunded mandates on the States to expand Medicaid. In so writing, Roberts disposed of the chief arguments of those in favor of the law and provided a bone to those who opposed it. But, by then holding that Congress taxing power was sufficient to uphold the law, Roberts ignored the Federal Anti-Injunction statute and called into question the ability of the Supreme Court to hold a law passed by Congress entirely unconstitutional. By writing that, in effect, the Court should defer to Acts of Congress, Roberts attempted a finesse first exercised by Chief Justice John Marshall in Marbury v. Madison in 1803. While it may seem as if he intended to demonstrate the same legal adroitness of Marbury, instead he deferred to the wishes of Congress, going through legal gymnastics to uphold a law that many scholars saw as indefensible, and damaged the power of the Supreme Court given to it in Article III immeasurably.

Generational Differences Impact On Leadership Style And Organizational Success
Authors: Salahuddin Mecca M. 
Published: March 2016

Many factors can affect organizational success. One factor that is important to organizational success is effective leadership. Research has shown there are differences in leadership style among generations. A cohort- group whose length approximates the span of life and boundaries and fixed by peer personality defines a generation. The purpose of this paper is to review the current leadership styles and generational differences literature. The paper examines whether there is a relationship between leadership style and generational cohort and its potential impact on organizational success. Structured interviews were conducted with individuals representing each generation. Five open-ended questions were asked to participants to determine the generation they identified. In addition, participants used a 1-10 ranking scale to identify preferred characteristics in admired leaders. The interviews demonstrated there are difference and similarities among the generations. Veterans and Generation Xers view honesty as important core values. Both express the need for communication in bridging the communication gap. Differences related to Baby Boomer belief in self-commitment and Veterans recognizing the importance with surrounding yourself with others. The author recommends researchers continue to examine, using an empirical method, generational differences and leadership styles to understand its affect on organizational success.

Authors: Alghalith Nabil , Blum Michael , Medlock Amanda , Weber Sandy 
Published: March 2016

The objectives of the project are (1) to define the skills necessary for students to work effectively with others to achieve common goals, and (2) to develop an assessment instrument to measure student progress toward achieving these skills. The defined skill set will form a basis for common expectations related to team skills that will be shared with students and be used by faculty for setting goals, planning curriculum and pedagogy, and assessing student progress. Assessment data will be incorporated into the Division of Business and Accountancy’s Continuous Improvement Plan and assessment cycle. The significance of this project is to ensure and demonstrate student learning related to teamwork, which is one of the key elements of the Division’s newly adopted vision statement. The ability to demonstrate continuous improvement related to the Division’s mission is vital to the re-accreditation of the business program. This project incorporated input from the entire faculty of the Division, and the results will be used by the entire faculty and shared with students in order to communicate expectations. This participative process will serve to enhance the culture of assessment in the Business Division among faculty and students.
What Effect Does CS0 Have On CS1 Performance And Major Retention?
Authors: Doyle John Kevin 
Published: March 2016

Three years ago, due to a lower than desired success rate in our first major course, Introduction to Computer Programming (CS1), and a lower than desired proportion of students in CS1 selecting Computer Science or Computer Information Systems as their major, we introduced a new course, Introduction to Computer Science (CS0), and made it a prerequisite for CS1. It was therefore required of all prospective Computer Science majors and Computer Information Systems majors. Our intention was to improve the subsequent performance of students in CS1, to reduce the proportion of students who withdrew from CS1, and to increase the proportion of CS1 students who became Computer Science or Computer Information Systems majors. This paper reports our progress on these measures. Our results show that after CS0 was introduced, students performed better in CS1 than before CS0 was introduced, and that this difference is statistically significant. The withdraw rate from CS1, among students who completed CS0, has been reduced. The proportion of students who performed well (earned a grade of A or B) in CS1 has been raised among students who completed CS0, and this difference is statistically significant. A higher proportion of students who completed both CS0 and CS1 declared Computer Science or Computer Information Systems majors, than before CS0 was introduced, and this difference is statistically significant. The proportion of students who performed well in CS1 and who declared Computer Science or Computer Information Systems majors was substantially raised, and this difference is statistically significant. We compare these results with previous papers on this topic, and conclude that the results are consistent, and the statistical significance of the results is improved by the larger sample sizes being analyzed.
Higher Education Administration And Globalization In The 21st Century In India
Authors: Jabbarifar Taghi 
Published: March 2016

This article deals with the changing scenario and management responsibilities of higher education in the 21st century in India. Of course, for those looking for challenges of management in higher education as a field, the future is not going to be a disappointment. Maybe by the end of the first decade of the 21st century management of higher education worldwide would have changed beyond recognition. Every administrator is required to behave like a shrewd politician. The world has been changing very fast. The pace of liberalization, privatization and globalization (LPG) is remarkable and has tremendously influenced various dimensions of management of higher education. The long-term consideration in the educational sector requires a clear statement of the direction in which a society wishes to move. Thus it is necessary to visualize the type of society India would like to have in the 21st century and beyond

Published: March 2016

<p>This study investigates the impact of bank recapitalization on real sector performance in Nigeria. Specifically, the study examines the direct effect (bank investment) and indirect effect (loans and advances to real sector) on real<br />sector output growth between the period 1986 and 2012.This study departs from previous studies because we aggregate the three leading sectors (agriculture, manufacturing and building and construction) of the Nigerian<br />economy to arrive at our real sector index. Also, having carefully subjected our data to necessary econometric tests we employed chow test for structural break to test for the existence of policy shift between bank capital base and loan<br />to the real sector of the Nigerian economy as a result of bank recapitalisation policy .Similarly, OLS estimates was used to determine the direct and indirect effect of bank capital base and real sector output growth. The results from<br />structure break tests reveal that bank recapitalization policy causes policy shift in bank capital base and loan to real sector thus the policy is of significant impact to real sector performance .In corollary, the result from the OLS strongly<br />indicates that bank capital base has significant effect on real sector output growth directly and indirectly. We then conclude that Nigerian banks should be adequately capitalised as to play active intermediateting roles expected of<br />them in this modern and competitive global economy</p>
A Survey of the Perception of the Services of Micro Finance Institutions by the Female Service Users in Benin City, South-South, Nigeria
Authors: Ugiagbe Ernest Osas 
Published: March 2016

<p><em>The study examines the perceptions of the services of the micro finance Institutions by the women service users, and how the services of micro Institutions affect businesses of the beneficiaries of the micro credit loans. The research design for the study was the survey method. The instruments of data collection were structured questionnaires and in-depth interview. A total of 450 questionnaires were administered to the female participants, and senior management personnel of the micro credit institutions were interviewed. The cluster and simple random sampling were used to select the participants for the study. The leaders of registered unions were the informants. The result reveals that the poor services and attitude of officials of micro finance institutions and other problems like the regressive tax regimes, harsh economic climate and patriarchy are negatively affecting the business ventures of the loan beneficiaries and by implication the goals of poverty reduction via micro credit scheme . The women beneficiaries are groaning under the burden of loan repayment and meeting other obligations as mothers and wives. This study is applicable in the context of social policy development at this time when social services delivery is not only poor but at dismal level. The need for gender sensitive and social development becomes imperative. It is critical to social work practice in the context of advocacy, empowerment programs, facilitating and initiating service delivery and Community organizing by social workers that will enhance the war against Poverty and other social impediments against women empowerment in Nigeria.</em></p>
