The United States is home to nearly three million Asian Indians. The difference in Asian Indian and American cultures creates a need for Asian Indians to acculturate, upon migration to the U.S. It has been theorized that acculturation becomes harder when the two cultures of contact are dissimilar. Particularly, immigrant women and children have been found to be more vulnerable than men to acculturative stress, where acculturative stress is defined as the psychological impact of adaptation to a new culture. Hence, this study focuses on acculturation of Asian Indian women and specifically on factors influencing their acculturation. Research findings from this study on acculturation of Asian Indian women provide information, useful for public policy makers. They have been utilized to develop a program (used by settlement service providers) designed specifically to facilitate acculturation of Asian Indian women in the U.S. A two-dimensional model developed by J.W. Berry, a prominent researcher in the field of acculturation, is employed to classify the acculturation process of Asian Indian women who were part of this study. Based on Berry’s model, the acculturation process of an immigrant can be described by one of the following four strategies: 1) Assimilation, 2) Integration, 3) Separation, or 4) Marginalization. According to Berry, the Integration strategy is considered the most effective acculturation strategy in terms of long-term health and wellbeing of the individual. This study employed a cross-sectional design, using quantitative methods for data analysis. Data were collected by means of a web-based acculturation survey that was developed as part of the study. Data analysis indicated that a majority of the Asian Indian women adopted the Integration strategy. A conceptual model was developed and multivariate analyses were conducted to examine the key acculturation factors that influenced Asian Indian women using the Integration strategy. These identified key factors helped to understand the cultural adaptation of Asian Indian women.

A Constituição Federal não estabeleceu o perfil do princípio da não-cumulatividade da Contribuição para os Programas de Integração Social (PIS) e de Formação do Patrimônio do Servidor Público (Pasep) e da Contribuição para o Financiamento da Seguridade Social COFINS (PIS/COFINS) nela previsto, mas o legislador ordinário deve se pautar em três parâmetros quando da instituição da sua sistemática: (i) obedecer os princípios constitucionais em geral; (ii) observar o núcleo de materialidade constitucional do PIS/COFINS; e (iii) respeitar a finalidade que justificou a criação desta sistemática. O insumo se trata de um conceito jurídico indeterminado e possui zonas de certeza positiva (núcleo), de incerteza (halo) e de certeza negativa, tendo cada uma delas parâmetros para as suas respectivas definições. Por isto, o conceito de insumo no PIS/COFINS não se equipara ao insumo no Imposto sobre Produtos Industrializados (IPI), nem aos custos e despesas necessárias no Imposto de Renda da Pessoa Jurídica (IRPJ), possuindo sentido próprio. Foi ainda verificado o entendimento adotado nos precedentes administrativos e judiciais acerca do conceito de insumo no PIS/COFINS que já chegaram aos nossos tribunais. / The Federal Constitution did not establish the profile of the non cummulativity principle of the Contributions for the Social Integration Programs (PIS), for the Formation of the Public Servant Patrimony (Pasep) and for the Financing of Social Security - COFINS (PIS/COFINS) disposed in it, but the ordinary legislator shall base on three parameters when establishing its systematic: (i) obey the constitutional principles in general, (ii) observe the materiality constitutional core of the PIS/COFINS; and (iii) respect the purpose that justified the creation of this systematic. The input is a undetermined legal concept and has areas of positive certainty (core), of uncertainty (halo) and of negative certainty, having each of them parameters for its respective definitions. Therefore, the concept of input at PIS/COFINS shall not be treated as the input at industrialized products tax (IPI), neither as the costs and necessary expenses at the corporate income tax (IRPJ), having thus its own concept. It was also verified the understanding adopted at the administrative and judicial precedents about the concept of input at PIS/COFINS that have already reached our courts.
