Published: May 2017

<p>Higher education systems as well as universities in Asian countries have experienced high organizational competitiveness. The quality of university governance is highlighted as a strategic issue for many governments in the region. Research results of this sector indicate that the performance of most universities in Asia move slowly. Compared to other higher educations in the developed countries, many Asian universities are still in the lower positions. Leadership of the university governance is, thus, argued to be central to ensure university organizations survive in the global market. This article overviews the performance of universities in Asia, and discuss some strategies on how universities are to be lead to get a higher level performance within the challenging environment.<strong> </strong> Further research needs to explore broader insights about the effective leadership models in enhancing university governance.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong><em>higher education, governance, university, management, leadership</em><strong><em></em></strong></p><p> </p>

Published: May 2017

<p>Digital photograph is one of the authentic materials which can be used in the classroom. It is the genuine material designed to help the students in writing process. It is not in the form of printed photograph but in the electronic form. In this study, digital photographs were used to help the students in writing paragraph. It aimed at investigating the use of digital photographs in paragraph writing on the students’ writing quality. The research was conducted by using quasi-experimental design. The students were given the treatment by using digital photographs and the other group was not given the treatment by using digital photographs. The subjects of the research were the second semester students of the English Department, IKIP PGRI Madiun. The students in the experimental group were assigned to write a paragraph by using digital photographs, while those in the control group were assigned to write a paragraph without digital photograph. The data were analyzed by utilizing t-test. The result of the study showed that there was a significant difference between the students who wrote paragraph supplied with the digital photographs and those who wrote paragraph without using digital photographs. It could be shown that digital photographs had a significant effect on writing quality.</p><p> </p><strong>Keywords: </strong><em>writing, authentic materials, digital photographs.</em>
Implementing Holistic Criticism Model Based On Multicultural Approach In Art Appreciation Subject
Authors: . Iriaji 
Published: May 2017

<p>The practices in our teaching and learning setting suggests that art appreciation subject at school does not emphasize on exploring visual art forms and relevant critics on them as most teachers only present information about the artwork. Such teaching and learning activity cannot effectively improve students’ understanding, awareness, and sensitivity towards the cultural diversity that Indonesia owns. In response to this issue, the researcher conducts a research and development study to apply holistic criticism model in teaching art appreciation. The research begins with a preliminary study as a need and content analysis that consists of several stages: (1) identifying the difficulties that teachers face in developing art appreciation subject, (2) exploring relevant references, expert’s testimony, and FGD followed by a collaborative work with teachers in the field to decide the conceptual structure to implement holistic criticism model based on multicultural approach in art appreciation. The results show that: (1) the level of difficulty or the problems that hinder the teachers to develop and implement art appreciation subject is quite complex, (2) as an output of the study, the researcher produces a guidebook, a student book, and a worksheet that contain the conceptual structure of holistic criticism model based on multicultural approach.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong><em>holistic approach, multicultural, art appreciation.<strong></strong></em></p>
A walk in the Garden of Diverse Cultures When Teaching English as a Foreign Language
Authors: . Kusumarasdyati 
Published: May 2017

<p>It is virtually impossible to teach a foreign language without teaching the culture where this language is spoken as a mother tongue because the use of a language relies heavily on the culture observed by the speakers. This principle also applies to the teaching of English in Indonesia, where it is spoken as a foreign language. The present paper aims to describe how the native cultures and the target cultures are explored in a course offered by the English Department of Universitas Negeri Surabaya (State University of Surabaya) in an effort to build understanding across cultures through their similarities and differences. While this may be a tedious task to accomplish due to the multicultural backgrounds of the learners and their diverse experiences that shape their personal opinions, it does not necessarily mean that cross-cultural understanding is impossible to achieve. It should be approached with appropriate methods to ensure that the teaching-learning process can yield the desired results. In addition, learners are engaged in a variety of motivating activities that not only have them examine how their native and target cultures are alike or different, but also give them relevant experiences that can lead to understanding.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong><em>TEFL, foreign language, culture, cross-cultural understanding<strong></strong></em></p>
Indonesian Teachers’ Directives In English Language Classrooms
Authors: Hidayati Maria , Zen Evynurul Laily , Basthomi Yazid 
Published: May 2017

<p>English language classrooms as real language settings provide ample linguistic data, be they produced by the teachers or the students, as there are some interactions in exchanging thoughts, feelings, or ideas. Speech acts theory indicates that in using the language, people not only create an isolated series of sentences, but also carry out actions by either doing something or making others do something. By using classroom observations conducted in twelve English language classrooms, this study seeks to describe types of sentence forms and kinds of strategies used by the teachers in giving order. The findings indicate that the teachers in the Department of English, Universitas Negeri Malang, who are in a position of authority over the students, do not always impose on their students in making them do what the teachers want them to do. Even though the interactions in the classrooms are not equal as the amount of teacher talk dominates the teaching and learning process, the students (as the hearer) are aware that they should adhere to the teachers’ speech acts of ordering to be successful in their study. <strong></strong></p><p> </p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong><em>English language classrooms, speech acts theory, directives, sentence forms, speech acts strategies. </em></p>

As três durações de Fernand Braudel no Ensino de História: proposta de atividade
Authors: Mello Ricardo Marques de 
Published: May 2017

O artigo apresenta o desenvolvimento de uma atividade com alunos da Graduação em História, Professores de História da rede básica de ensino e mestrandos em História acerca da presença múltipla das durações (curta, média e longa) no nosso dia a dia. Como base teórica, usei as ideias de Fernand Braudel (2007); como recurso metodológico, percorremos um trajeto predefinido dentro da cidade de Campo Mourão (PR), a fim de observar como o tempo se manifesta na cidade das mais diferentes formas. Entre os resultados mais evidentes, boa parte dos educandos conseguiu apurar sua percepção sobre como o tempo se expressa em objetos, valores e estabelecimentos, tanto com exemplos usados por eles, quanto mediante discussões que desnaturaram determinadas construções físicas, ideias e relações sociais. Palavras-chave: durações; Fernand Braudel; atividade extraclasse; ensino de História.

Predicting Waterflooding Performance in Low-Permeability Reservoirs With Linear Dynamical Systems
Authors: Wang Dashun , Niu Di , Li Huazhou Andy 
Published: May 2017

Summary
Several interwell connectivity models such as multiple linear regression (MLR) and the capacitance model (CM) have been proposed to model waterflooding performance in high-permeability reservoirs on the basis of observed production data. However, the existing methods are not effective at characterizing the behavior of transient flows that are prevalent in low-permeability reservoirs. This paper presents a novel dynamic waterflooding model that is based on linear dynamical systems (LDSs) to characterize the injection/production relationships in an oil field during both stationary and nonstationary production phases. We leverage a state-space model (SSM), in which the changing rates of control volumes between injector/producer pairs in the reservoir of interest serve as time-varying hidden states, depending on the reservoir condition. Thus, the model can better characterize the transient dynamics in low-permeability reservoirs. We propose a self-learning procedure for the model to train its parameters as well as the evolution of the hidden states only on the basis of past observations of injection and production rates. We tested the LDS method in comparison with the state-of-the-art CM method in a wide range of synthetic reservoir models including both high-permeability and low-permeability reservoirs, as well as various dynamic scenarios involving varying bottomhole pressure (BHP) of producers, injector shut-ins, and reservoirs of larger scales. We also tested LDS on the real production data collected from Changqing oil field containing low-permeability formations. Testing results demonstrate that an LDS significantly outperforms CM in terms of modeling and predicting waterflooding performance in low-permeability reservoirs and various dynamic scenarios.
Spatio-temporal variability of streamflow in the Huaihe River Basin, China: climate variability or human activities?
Authors: Pan Zharong , Ruan Xiaohong , Qian Mingkai , Hua Jian , Shan Nan , Xu Jing 
Published: May 2017

AbstractThe water shortage in the Huaihe River Basin (HRB), China, has been aggravated by population growth and climate change. To identify the characteristics of streamflow change and assess the impact of climate variability and human activities on hydrological processes, approximately 50 years of natural and observed streamflow data from 20 hydrological stations were examined. The Mann–Kendall test was employed to detect trends. The results showed the following. (i) Both the natural and the observed streamflow in the HRB present downward trends, and the decreasing rate of observed streamflow is generally faster than that of the natural streamflow. (ii) For the whole period, negative trends dominate in the four seasons in the basin. The highest decreasing trends for two kinds of streamflow both occurred in spring, and the lowest ones were in autumn and winter. (iii) Based on the above analysis and quantifying assessment for streamflow decrease, human activity was the main driving factor in the Xuanwu (80.78%), Zhuangqiao (79.92%), Yongcheng (74.80%), and Mengcheng (64.73%) stations which all belong to the Huaihe River System (HRS). On the other hand, climate variability was the major driving factor in the Daguanzhuang (68.89%) and Linyi (63.38%) stations which all belong to the Yishusi River System (YSR).
Obecność islamu jako wyzwanie dla chrześcijan Europy
Authors: Grosfeld Jan 
Published: May 2017

Przedmiotem zainteresowania autora jest wyzwanie, jaki stanowi rosnąca obecność muzułmanów w zsekularyzowanej i zdesakralizowanej Europie dla chrześcijan i przyszłości chrześcijaństwa na tym subkontynencie. Refleksja prowadzona w duchu pytania: Co dane zjawisko czy proces oznacza dla nas? należy do serca tradycji judeochrześcijańskiej. Możemy postrzegać ten problem w ramach szerszego wyzwania, jakie dla chrześcijan i Kościoła stanowi lęk w ogóle. Autor wskazuje, że gościnność stanowi jeden z podstawowych nakazów życia żydowskiego i chrześcijańskiego. Jest ona głęboko zakorzeniona w wizji antropologicznej, która ukształtowała europejską tożsamość. Zarazem jednak postawa gościnności, otwartości zderza się z zasadami społecznego bezpieczeństwa i – jakże często – z ideą sprawiedliwości dominującej w naszej kulturze. Symptomy tych sprzeczności są dobrze widoczne na przykładzie polityki integracji kulturowej skierowanej ku wcześniejszym, a tym bardziej obecnym falom imigracji muzułmańskiej. Autor broni tezy, że przyszłość europejskiej tożsamości i chrześcijaństwa w Europie zależeć będzie od tego, w jaki sposób „wykorzystają” islamską obecność i presję.
KILKA UWAG O ZNACZENIU III STATUTU LITEWSKIEGO W GALICJI
Authors: Godek Sławomir 
Published: May 2017

Some Observations on the Significance of the III Lithuanian Statute in GaliciaSummary The Lviv National Vasyl Stefanyk Scientific Library of Ukraine holds a manuscript entitled “Zbiorowa treść Statutu litewskiego jako prawa obowiązującego w prowincjach polskich pod panowaniem rosyjskim będących” (The Collected Content of the Lithuanian Statute: The Law in Force in the Polish Provinces now under Russian Rule”). It was compiled in 1820 by Wacław Michał Mieczkowski, a judge of the Tarnopol (Ternopil) Oblast’. The way the material was arranged in this document helped users find their way around the mass of provisions in the Statute. Mieczkowski’s compilation suggests further research should be done on the role of the Lithuanian Statute with respect to other sources of the law in Austrian Galicia.
Seabirds At-Sea Surveys: The Line-Transect Method Outperforms the Point-Transect Alternative
Authors: Bolduc François , Fifield David A. 
Published: May 2017

Introduction:Knowledge of seasonal distribution and abundance of species is paramount in identifying key areas. Field data collection and analysis must provide best information concerning seabirds at-sea to optimize conservation efforts.Methods:We tested whether modeling of detection probabilities, and density estimates with their coefficients of variation obtained from the point-transect method provided more robust and precise results than the more commonly used line-transect method. We subdivided our data by species groups (alcids, and aerialist species), and into two behavior categories (flyingvs.swimming). We also computed density estimates from the strip-transect and point count methods, to relate differences between transect methods to their counterparts that do not consider a decreasing probability of detection with distance from the observer. We used data collected in the Gulf of St. Lawrence between 2009 and 2010 when observers simultaneously conducted line- and point-transect sampling.Results:Models of detection probability using the line-transect method had a good fit to the observed data, whereas detection probability histograms of point-transect analyses suggested substantial evasive movements within the 0-50 m interval. This resulted in point-transect detection probability models displaying poor goodness of fit. Line transects yielded density estimates 1.2-2.6 times higher than those obtained using the point-transect method. Differences in percent coefficients of variation between line-transect and point-transect density estimates ranged between 0.2 and 5.9.Conclusion:Using 300 m wide line-transects provided the best results, while other methods could lead to biased conclusions regarding species density in the local landscape and the relative composition of seabird communities among species and behavior groups.
La utopía: desde el “Buen Salvaje” al outro
Authors: Berisso Daniel Carlos 
Published: May 2017

En este artículo se desarrolla la relación entre utopía, conquista y pedagogía. Se parte de la distinción entre “utopía” y “función utópica”. La primera es subjetiva y sólo realizable en comunidades aisladas. La segunda, intersubjetiva y principio de toda transformación histórica. Se considera que la Conquista fue un proyecto en el que convivieron tendencias destructivas y utópicas al modo de las comunidades aisladas. Y se argumenta que se puede verificar en autores como S. Rodríguez y P. Freire la presencia de lo que se ha analizado como “función utópica”, a tono con la teoría que desde los años setenta viene desarrollando E. Dussel en su Ética y su Pedagógica.
Perfil do absenteísmo docente na Rede Municipal de Educação de Belo Horizonte/MG no período de 2011 a 2014
Authors: Campos Gioconda Machado , Cunha Daisy Moreira 
Published: May 2017

O presente artigo apresenta um estudo longitudinal sobre o fenômeno do absenteísmo entre os cargos públicos de professor municipal, professor municipal da Educação Infantil e pedagogo da Rede Municipal de Educação de Belo Horizonte, Brasil, no período de 2011 a 2014. Empreendemos uma análise exploratória dos dados (AED), obtendo-se média, mediana, moda, desvio padrão (medidas de tendência central) para cada cargo e ano. O absenteísmo foi mensurado por dois indicadores: índice de absenteísmo (IA) e índice de gravidade (IG). Concluímos que a produção do absenteísmo ocorre de modo muito semelhante nos três cargos. No entanto, a comparação das médias de cada cargo indicou que o exercício destas três diferentes funções públicas, no que concerne ao público atendido e às especificidades das atividades realizadas em cada etapa da educação básica, impacta diferentemente a produção do absenteísmo.
