FAMILY VALUES IN THE MAINTENANCE OF LOCAL/HOME LANGUAGE

Family is part of a social and cultural group. It is from the family a new member of a society has learned his/her first word. Family’s decision to choose local or national language at home to be socialized to the children is one significant contribution for the maintenance of local or national language. Once a family shifts its perspective or values on the choice, there will be further consequence for local or national language preservation. Therefore, this paper is aimed at exploring family language policy to get the idea of how this small group of a society can contribute to positive or negative effect for local and national language maintenance. Several interviews and observation were conducted to investigate the language policy applied in family language practices and interactions in urban city of Surabaya. The result of the investigation shows how changes in government policy, parents’ social, cultural, as well as professional and linguistic background and the global world have influenced family’s, in particularly parents, values in the use of local or national language for socialization

Banking accounts volatility induced by IAS 39: A simulation model applied to the French case.

La décision de l’Union européenne d’adopter les normes IAS pour l’ensemble de ses membres, avait été fortement contestée par les banques européennes. En effet, le secteur bancaire européen était catégoriquement opposé à l’IAS 39 qui concerne les instruments financiers. Nous avons essayé dans le cadre de ce travail de tester la volatilité des résultats et des capitaux propres d’un modèle de banque appliquant l’IAS 39. En partant d’un modèle de banque hypothétique, nous avons effectué des simulations en nous basant sur des données historiques relatives aux swaps de taux d’intérêt en France. Notre modèle a été testé selon les deux stratégies de couverture : couverture totale et partielle. Nous avons pu démontré que les résultats d’une banque totalement couverte sont plus volatils que ceux d’une banque partiellement couverte.The European Union's decision of adopting the International Accounting Standards for the whole of its countries members was deeply contested by the European banks. In fact, the banking industry was completely opposed to IAS 39 which treats the financial instruments. In order to demonstrate the impact of different accounting models for financial instruments on the financial statements of banks, we developed a simulation model capturing the most important characteristics of a modern universal bank. It demonstrates that under the current IAS 39, the results of a fully hedged bank may have to show volatility in income statements due to changes in market interest rates. However, results of a partially hedged bank in the same scenario may be less affected.instruments financiers; Couverture; Secteur bancaire; hedging strategy; IAS 39; Banking Industry; Financial industry;

Inhibiting factors affecting teachers’ implementation of the KBSM (revised) English language curriculum

This paper aims to discuss teachers’ degree of implementation of the KBSM (Revised) English Language Curriculum, introduced in 2003. It also sets to highlight the inhibiting factors that had impeded teachers’ implementation of the Skills Specifications or activities suggested in the Huraian Sukatan Pelajaran (HSP) Bahasa Inggeris Tingkatan Empat of the new curriculum. Firstly, the author finds that about 60 percent of the teachers obtained only a medium degree of implementation for 18 out of the 22 Skills Specifications. Secondly, the author concludes that among the prominent factors that had inhibited teachers’ implementation of the KBSM (Revised) English language curriculum in Malaysian classrooms were too many components of the new curriculum, hence leading to lack of understanding of the curriculum, lack of in-service training, time constraints and finally inadequate and irrelevant teaching materials

Hurst's exponent behaviour, weak-form stock market efficiency and financial liberalization: the Tunisian case

In this paper, we test the weak-form stock market efficiency for the Tunisian stock market (TSE). Our empirical approach is founded on the analysis of the behaviour over time of the Hurst's exponent. Thus, we computed the Hurst's exponent using a “rolling sample†with a time window of 4 years. The sample data covers in daily frequency the period (January, 1997- October 2007). Since the classical R/S analysis is strongly affected by short-range dependencies both in the mean and the conditional variance of TSE daily volatility, daily stock returns were filtered using the traditional AR-GARCH(1,1) model. Our results for Hurst's and filtered Hurst's exponents behaviour analysis show a strong evidence of long-range dependence with persistent behaviour of the TSE. However, during the last two years, the filtered Hurst's exponent seems to exhibit a switching regime behaviour with alternating persistent and antipersistent behaviour but where it was somewhat close to 0.5.The nonparametric statistic approach results reveal that some TSE reforms including the launching of the Electronic quotation system on April, 1998, the fiscal regime for holdings, the security reinforcement laws, the legal protection of minority shareholder may play a role in understanding the Hurst's exponent behaviour over timefinancial reforms, long-range dependence; weak-form efficiency; Hurst's exponent; rolling sample approach.
