Research on the Business English Training Model within MBA Program
Authors: Yankovskaya Nataliya , Neklyudova Olga 
Published: March 2017

The paper presents a brief summary of the research on the Business English training model within MBA program students.This study is devoted to the problem of developing a professional foreign language communicative competency of MBA program participants. A particular feature of additional MBA qualification is its international status which presupposes that its graduates (mid-level and top managers) should realize their professional tasks in a foreign language.The analysis of literary works follows in order to find out if activity and competency-based approaches are chosen as instructional bases for developing the model of a business foreign language training that can ensure building a professional foreign language communication competency of the MBA program participants.The result of the study is the model of a business foreign language training that guarantees the development of a professional foreign language communication competency within the process of obtaining additional professional MBA qualification and that includes the following structural components: learning objective, content, a set of forms of organizing the learning process and technological description of each of the five modules. The next part of the paper suggests the result of the research based on testing of the business foreign language training model that guarantees the development of a professional foreign language communication competency when achieving additional professional MAS qualification including a description of the process and the results of assessing the developed dyadic model.The testing consisted of summative and formative assessment and was carried out in the the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration in several stages (from 1999 to 2007 and then again from 2010 to 2014). When analyzing the results of assessing the dyadic model both the data obtained in control groups (teaching based on the traditional system) and in experimental groups (teaching based on the developed model) were compared.On the basis of the studies the conclusion was made that business English language training, aimed at the development of professional foreign communicative competence of MBA students, organized in accordance with our didactic model, can achieve the goal of real-verbal communication in English in professional environment (business English should become a tool for solving professional problems), and fully meet the needs of students.
Postmodern Discourse and its Semiosis
Authors: Hakobyan Kseniya , Šuler-Galos Jasmina 
Published: March 2017

Symbolic representation is a specific, uniquely human form of objectification of the real world, a powerful means of communication activity of its reflectivity. Understanding of the phenomenon of sign representation, its modeling and the definition of the sign and its meaning depends on the sign language system and aspects of the language to be interpreted – dynamic or statistical, functional or structural aspects are taken as a basis. This article is an attempt to review the main components of the sign of the postmodern discourse.It should be noted that in modern science there is a tendency to revise the linguistic nature of the sign. Among all areas of linguistics there is a domination of the theoretical reflection, according to which all phenomena are regarded as the implementation of language text, discourse, narrative. Therefore, the full range of human culture is the sum of texts of the intertextuality. Consciousness also appears in the form of text that can be read by the relevant rules of grammar, or, by using the decryption of codes. Foreign linguists developed a new direction in science: the main emphasis is placed on the special role of the interpretation procedures and the importance of reading both cognitive and communicative signs, because any schematization of reality is a sign. The analysis of postmodern texts suggests that thought can not be just interpreted, but also disinterpreted in postmodern discourse. In these texts, the notion of the sign takes on a different, broader meaning than that of word mark. One of the important issues of semiotic analysis of postmodern discourse is to examine and identify the codes that exist to decipher all kinds of signs.Thus, in the context of our research the quite relevant question is to define the temporal signs (linguistic or non-linguistic) to be expressed in the postmodern discourse. As is known, the category of ‘time’ appears as a symbol of life / death, meaning as a cultural reality, and so forth. In modern linguistics it is assumed that postmodern text is regulated by a set of codes: the linguistic code of natural language, the literary code that defines the connectivity of the text, the genre code, and meta-language of a writer. In our view, the essence of postmodern discourse is a combination of mosaic codes, which include the following types of: linguistic, cultural, semiological, interactive, and metatextual codes.

On contractivity-preserving 2- and 3-step predictor-corrector series for ODEs
Authors: Nguyen-Ba Truong , Alzahrani Abdulrahman , Giordano Thierry , Vaillancourt Remi 
Published: March 2017

New optimal, contractivity-preserving (CP), \(d\)-derivative, 2- and 3-step, predictor-corrector, Hermite-Birkhoff-Obrechkoff series methods, denoted by \(HBO(d,k,p)\), \(k=2,3\), with nonnegative coefficients are constructed for solving nonstiff first-order initial value problems \(y'=f(t,y)\), \(y(t_0)=y_0\). The upper bounds \(p_u\) of order \(p\) of \(HBO(d,k,p)\), \(k=2,3\) methods are approximately 1.4 and 1.6 times the number of derivatives \(d\), respectively. Their stability regions have generally a good shape and grow with decreasing \(p-d\). Two selected CP HBO methods: 9-derivative 2-step HBO of order 13, denoted by HBO(9,2,13), which has maximum order 13 based on the CP conditions, and 8-derivative 3-step HBO of order 14, denoted by HBO(8,3,14), compare well with Adams-Cowell of order 13 in PECE mode, denoted by AC(13), in solving standard N-body problems over an interval of 1000 periods on the basis of the relative error of energy as a function of the CPU time. They also compare well with AC(13) in solving standard N-body problems on the basis of the growth of relative error of energy and 10000 periods of integration. The coefficients of selected HBO methods are listed in the appendix.

Analysis of Speech-Sign Semantic Equivalence in Simultaneous Communication in Kenya
Authors: Oracha Adoyo Peter 
Published: March 2017

<p><em>Effective communication between teacher and pupil is a requisite factor for educational attainment. For the deaf, ineffective communication is a major problem especially when onset of profound deafness takes places at an early age before language is acquired. At school, the language of classroom communication not only affects the child’s development but also influences ability to learn other curriculum contents. Pointing out reasons for failure by deaf children to compete favorably with their hearing peers, Johnson et al (1989) has indicated that the central problem on deaf education is embedded in the lack of an appropriate language of classroom communication. </em></p><p><em>For a long time education for the deaf was conducted through the oral approach. It was later realized that this oral approach did not avail curriculum content to the deaf learners. In the 1980’s Total Communication arose as one of the solutions. According to Adoyo (2004), Total Communication was misunderstood for Simultaneous Communication, a communication system in which speech and sign are produced at the same time (Lane, Hoffmister &amp; Bahan, 1996). Although SC has been used in Kenya for all these years, it has not produced the predicated large-scale improvement. </em></p><p><em>In this study, an attempt was made to establish the capacity of SC to enhance understanding and to facilitate information processing. The investigation was carried out through an examination of the extent to which the spoken and signed messages were equivalent in meaning. The research question was: To what extent do teachers of the deaf maintain one-one, sign to-voice ratio during Simultaneous Communication transmission and to what degree is the spoken and signed message equivalent semantically?</em></p>
Teologi Persuasif Ayat-Ayat Makkiyah; Sebuah Tafsir Relasi Umat Beragama
Authors: Muhtador Moh 
Published: March 2017

<p>Dalam beberapa tahun terakhir konflik antara agama di Indonesia kembali muncul setelah lama tidak terdengar dan sunyi dari pemberitaan media. Kasus terakhir yang mendapat perhatian nasional ialah pembakanran masjid di Tolikara Papua yang terjadi pada 23 juli 2015. Agama sebagai sebuah keyakinan merupakan hal sensifit bagi pemeluknya, membincangkan agama sama halnya berbicara tentang Tuhan. Seorang pemeluk agama tertentu berani mengambil resiko ketika agama yang diyakini dilecehkan. Pada posisi tersebut keagamaan seorang menjadi superior dengan resiko yang melekat. Oleh sebab itu, beragama tidak cukup hanya mendahulukan fanatisme, tetapi dalam beragama seorang dituntut juga untuk memahami ajaran yang terkandung dalam kita suci agama. Dengan demikian, memahami dan mengaplikasikan nilai Qurani bagi umat Islam adalah sebauh keniscayaan. Sejarah telah mencatat adanya toleransi beragama yang terkandung dalam ayat-ayat makkiyah. Dengan bahasa yang mudah dipahami, ayat-ayat makkiyah telah mengajarkan umat Islam tentang relasi beragama serta menghormati agama lain tanpa harus memaksa dan menimbulkan konflik dalam beragama. Ajaran yang selama ini dipandang oleh sebagian muslim sebagai kelemahan umat Islam awal, tetapi kandungan ayat-ayat Makkiyah cendrung menarasikan tentang universalitas ajaran Islam.</p><p>Penulis menyadari bahwa tulisan tentang ayat-ayat makkiyah telah banyak yang meneliti dan mengkaji. Ayat makkiyah telah lama dikaji oleh ulama-ulama terdahulu dan sampai sekarang, namun kecendrungan kajian yang berkembangan tentang ayat makkiyah cendrung bersifat teknisi yang bersifat Ulum al-Quran dan kurang melihat aspek sosio-histori. Dengan demikian, pada posisi tersebut penulis mencoba untuk mengisi kekosongan wacana tentang ayat Makkiyah kaitannya dengan relasi umat beragama dengan pendekatan sosial-histori. Sehingga besar harapan tulisan tersebut tidak hanya membaca ayat makkiyah secara teknisi ulum al- Quran tetapi juga memuat analisa sosio-keagamaan.</p><p>Pendekatan sosial-histori dengan menganalisa keagamaan yang</p>berkembangan pada saat turunnya ayat makkiyah memberikan gambaran, bahwa ayat makkiyah mempunyai tiga pesan pokok terkait dengan relasi agama. <em>Pertama</em>, ajaran tentang toleransi beragama, <em>kedua, </em>kemanusiaan, dan <em>ketiga </em>relasi antara umat beragama. Ketiga hal tersebut adalah ajaran umum yang terdapat dalam ayat makkiyah, beragamanya redaksi dan ungkapan tentang ketuhanan dan kemanusiaan yang terdapat pada ayat makkiyah memberikan indikasi, bahwa ayat makkiyah adalah ayat yang mengajarkan tentang kerukunan umat beragama.
Less With Less - Transforming the HSE Function for a Cost Constrained World
Authors: Woollard Tom , Lloyd Don 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
In a cost constrained world, the efficiency and effectiveness of the HSE function is increasingly being challenged by executives who are looking for better HSE and operational performance and risk management at reduced cost typically by means of reduced headcount, fewer and simpler integrated processes and greater ownership within operations.
This paper presents a risk-informed methodology for HSE rationalization developed during companywide cost cutting programs undertaken in multinational oil & gas and extractive companies between 2012 and 2016.
A three stage methodology is described comprising a discovery phase to determine the ‘as-is’ organisational arrangements, followed by a co-design stage to generate a fit for purpose operating model and culminating in an implementation phase which as well as reducing headcount incorporates a ‘Stop-Prioritize-Simplify’ approach to the rationalization of HSE processes and services. The methodology comprises a combination of organisational and change management methodologies with commercial and technical analysis.
This approach to HSE rationalisation delivered a wide range of benefits as well as lessons learned both during the process and subsequently. These are described and discussed.
Whilst we are able to present the methodology due to the highly confidential nature of this work we can only provide selected examples of the models used and the outputs generated.
O DIREITO FUNDAMENTAL À SAÚDE E (DES)RESPEITO DOS PLANOS DE SAÚDE

Published: March 2017

<p class="western" align="justify"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">O presente texto objetiva demonstrar o direito à saúde no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro. O foco é, contudo, a verificação da efetividade do direito fundamental à saúde pelo Estado brasileiro e também atuação subsidiária dos planos de saúde privados. Para tanto, analisa-se a incorporação dos direitos humanos reconhecidos internacionalmente no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro como direitos fundamentais. Busca-se refletir o papel do Estado na efetivação dos direitos fundamentais, analisando-se, para este fim, a possibilidade de utilização do sistema privado de saúde. Apresenta algumas alternativas de controle do Estado para a fiscalização do sistema privado, tal como a resolução normativa nº 309/2012, almejando-se demonstrar que a efetividade do direito deve ser o fim a ser buscado. Objetiva-se, desse modo, verificar o papel desempenhado pelos planos de saúde na efetivação do direito fundamental à saúde, visto a ineficácia do SUS em atender a completude das demandas. A hipótese lançada de desrespeito ao direito à saúde pelo sistema público confirma-se com a ampla utilização dos sistemas privados para que o objetivo seja alcançado. A metodologia utilizada na pesquisa é a hipotético-dedutiva, buscando-se uma conclusão. Utiliza-se, para tanto, o método monográfico. </span></span></p><p class="western" align="justify"> </p>

O saber popular sobre plantas medicinais tem auxiliado estratégias de bioprospecção de espécies e direcionado o estudo para a descoberta de novas atividades farmacológicas. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi identificar espécies medicinais utilizadas contra úlcera gástrica pela comunidade do Povoado Vila Capim, Arapiraca, Alagoas e, avaliar a atividade antiulcerogênica gástrica da espécie mais saliente. Para a seleção dos informantes-chave utilizou-se a técnica da bola de neve e aplicadas entrevistas semiestruturadas. A análise das falas foi pela técnica do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo. Para os testes farmacológicos foram utilizados ratos Wistar machos no modelo de lesão gástrica aguda induzida por etanol absoluto. A toxicidade aguda foi avaliada. Dezessete informantes-chave indicaram os sintomas e plantas medicinais utilizadas contra a úlcera gástrica. A espécie com maior valor de saliência foi a Solanum stipulaceum (sacatinga), escolhida para testes químicos e farmacológicos. O extrato aquoso bruto (SSaq) apresentou atividade significativa na dose de 200 mg kg-1 (p<0,05), sendo capaz de inibir lesões (91,35%). O extrato etanólico (SSet) demonstrou atividade gastroprotetora nas doses de 200 e 400 mg kg-1 (p<0.01), com inibição de 71,12% e 76,38%, respectivamente. É necessário aprofundar os estudos para a elucidação dos compostos químicos das folhas da espécie, toxicologia e identificação dos mecanismos de ação subjacentes à atividade gastroprotetora de S. stipulaceum.
