Published: March 2021

O presente artigo é fruto de resultados da dissertação de mestrado intitulada “o processo de fechamento das escolas no campo na mesorregião do leste goiano: que crime é esse que continua?” O objetivo desse estudo foi de analisar os argumentos utilizados pelo Estado para o fechamento da Escola Municipal Boa Esperança no povoado de Boa Esperança que se localiza no município de Damianópolis, estado de Goiás. As escolas no e do campo são importantes para que os camponeses reconheçam sua identidade e fortaleçam suas ações.  Com o fechamento da escola no campo percebe que enfraquece o território do campesinato devido a expulsão desses sujeitos e em contrapartida fortalece outros territórios. Essa escola é uma entre centenas que são fechadas todos os anos no Brasil, obrigando esses sujeitos a frequentar a escola da cidade que não se preocupa com a identidade cultural e que inclusive tem apresentado uma postura preconceituosa sobre estes. Ao estudar na escola da cidade, gera cansaço, desmotivação, insegurança, e é submetido a poeira, a lama, e horas na estrada. Foi importante realizar a pesquisa de campo com observação, entrevistas e roda de conversas e a partir dos dados, constatou que existe um descaso do Estado brasileiro em relação as comunidades camponesas. Como citar este artigo:SANTOS, Cássia Betânia Rodrigues.

ORGANIZACIONES DE LA PRODUCCIÓN FAMILIAR Y POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS EN EL MARCO DEL DESARROLLO DEL CAPITALISMO AGRARIO EN URUGUAY / Organizações da agricultura familiar e as políticas públicas no âmbito do desenvolvimento do capitalismo agrário no Uruguai / Family production organizations and public policies in the frameworks of development of agrarian capitalism in Uruguay
Authors: Guedes Bica Emiliano
Published: March 2021

Este trabajo busca comprender las principales características y condicionantes del relacionamiento histórico entre las políticas públicas y las distintas formas de organización de la agricultura familiar, en el marco del desarrollo del capitalismo agrario en Uruguay. Para su elaboración, se procesó información de 118 organizaciones del medio rural que vinculan unidades de producción familiar (ubicación geográfica, forma jurídica, vinculación con organizaciones de segundo grado y trayectorias temporales -fecha de fundación, cese de actividades y procesos de reactivación-). Esta información fue analizada en relación a las principales etapas del desarrollo del capitalismo agrario y las principales políticas públicas orientadas hacia el medio rural (construcción en base a revisiones bibliográficas). Del estudio se desprende que existieron diferentes momentos históricos que influyeron en la capacidad de reproducción de la agricultura familiar y en el desarrollo de sus procesos organizativos, los cuales están fuertemente pautados por el rol asumido por el Estado y las políticas públicas impulsadas hacia el sector. Partiendo de la fuerte relación evidenciada, se discute la posibilidad de estos actores de construir proyectos identitarios (de resistencia contrahegemónica) que los posicionen como sujetos de transformación social. Como citar este artigo:GUEDES BICA, Emiliano.

Resumo
O agronegócio se destaca na economia brasileira. Para manter essa importância, inovações em suas atividades rotineiras são necessárias. Geralmente a escolha sobre as diretrizes da inovação é fator determinante para o sucesso e implementação de alguma novidade no mercado. Durante o processo de priorização, o ator envolvido na decisão é influenciado por várias situações, o que pode atrapalhar a sua tomada de decisão. Assim, para auxiliar no processo decisório, diversos métodos foram desenvolvidos. O PROMETHEE (Preference Ranking Organization Method Enrichment Evaluation) é um dos principais métodos para apoio à decisão. O objetivo geral deste trabalho foi testar a aderência da metodologia PROMETHEE para priorizar ideias inovadoras aplicadas ao agronegócio. O espaço amostral utilizado nesse artigo foi o programa de iniciação ao empreendedorismo tecnológico denominado Startup in School – Edição Google, realizado nas escolas técnicas estaduais do Centro Paula Souza. A escola utilizada foi a ETEC Benedito Storani, uma importante escola técnica agrícola do Estado de São Paulo.

Authors: Aman Nida , Jan Farzand Ali , Ullah Naeem , Mujtaba Ammara
Published: March 2021

This research takes in view the motives that drive opportunistic managers in the Pakistani corporate world to manipulate firm earnings in different financial circumstances by resorting to real (REM) and accrual (AEM) earning management to reap their self-interests. The present study undertakes 188 distressed and 37 non-distressed firms for the sample period of 2010-2017. The summary stats confirm that both in distressed and non-distressed firms’ managers resort to REM practices more than AEM. The factors that urge mangers to take REM practices in distressed firms i.e., debt covenant restriction, managerial ownership and tax avoidance needs to be amended in such a way that it demotivates managers for carrying such practices in distressed firms. The factors that influence AEM practices in distressed firms are debt covenant restrictions, institutional ownership, highly valued firms and managerial ownership whereas in non-distressed firm these factors are debt covenant and effective tax rate. In non-distressed firms motives that urge mangers to adopt REM, practices are raising additional capital and tax avoidance practices.

Authors: Waheed Muhammad Hassan , Khan Naimat Ullah
Published: March 2021

With the rapid growth of the services industry in Pakistan which is more than fifty percent of GDP, organizations focus more on their service recovery strategies to keep high the level of customer satisfaction. The basic theme of this research is to judge the customer satisfaction with respect to the elements of Justice Theory (Distributional, Interactional and Procedural Justice) and Service Recovery Strategies, SRS (Apology, Compensation, and Speed). For this purpose, the data is collected with the help of a questionnaire from 115 passengers at Peshawar Airport Pakistan. The results show that all three elements of SRS (Compensation, Speed, and Apology) and two components of Justice Theory (Interactional and Distributive) have a significant positive relationship with customer satisfaction. The only element that has shown insignificant value is procedural justice. The results also indicate that the compensation element of service recovery and interactional justice of Justice Theory have a higher impact on customer after facing a service failure from any Airline company during traveling. The findings suggests that companies should invest more in their front desk employees and should have a recovery strategy that has a major focus on compensation – an element of justice theory – for losses.
The Impact of Management Capabilities on SMEs Financial Performance; the Moderating Role of Financial Access
Authors: Khattak Muhammada Sualeh , Hassan Kinan Ul
Published: March 2021

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) face various challenges and barriers in developed and developing economies. Due to lack of resources, they often fail to survive for the long term. Prior studies have discussed different factors that can enhance the success and performance of SMEs. However, the role of top management capabilities is rarely discussed in emerging economies. This research fills the gap by examining the role of top management capabilities in the financial performance of SMEs with a moderating role of financial access. For this study, data were collected through a structured questionnaire from 150 SMEs operating in Rawalpindi and Islamabad. To test the hypotheses and model, regression analyses were performed in SPSS. The results indicate that top management capabilities and financial access have a significant positive influence on the financial performance of SMEs. However, financial access a moderator does not significantly contribute to SMEs performance in the emerging market. We recommend SMEs to give enough attention to top management capabilities and various sources of finance to gain high profit and stay for a long time in the dynamic markets. Further implications are discussed.

El testamento del señor Napumoceno da Silva Araújo
Authors:   Facultad de Artes y Humanidades, Universidad de los Andes, Almeida Germano
Published: March 2021

El testamento del señor Napumoceno da Silva Araújo de Germano Almeida se desarrolla en las etapas más decisivas de la historia de Cabo Verde. Por medio del testamento, fechado por el protagonista el 30 de noviembre de 1974 y abierto diez años después, podemos descubrir los avatares de este archipiélago africano, el antes, el durante y el después de su proceso de independencia. La lectura del testamento del señor Napumoceno es la revelación de la intimidad inesperada de este patricio de la ciudad de Mindelo. El testamento es un recurso narrativo —bendito recurso— para que este señor «genealoide», con ciertas ínfulas culturales, construya distintas imágenes sobre él mismo, que contrastan, con gran dosis de humor, con las que un elenco de personajes, supuestamente reales (hija sobrevenida, sobrino perplejo y tutti quanti), se había hecho de él. Vale la pena recordar la ya conocida pregunta: ¿para quiénes escriben los autores africanos?, pues ante esta pocos autores pueden presentar las credenciales de Germano Almeida. Un autor que escribe en Cabo Verde y para su público caboverdiano; desde este indiscutible enraizamiento, ha conseguido convertirse en un sólido autor internacional. No hay vendaval, sequía o iniquidad que se resista a la literatura de Germano Almeida, construida, a pesar de los pesares, para contradecir las desdichas de su país, para contagiarnos de su infalible placer de contar y de vivir. ¿O acaso no son la misma cosa?

Authors: Boban Devas , A.G. Arun , Joseph Jeffine J. , Saif Suhaina
Published: March 2021

COVID 19 pandemic has taken over the world by surprise, affecting around 4 million of the world population. This unprecedented crisis of the 21st century has led to many world nations having to declare a nation-wide lockdown and prohibit all economical and commercial activities in designated spaces. Most of the corporates, in the wake of this challenge, announced work from home for their staff.
This study aims to analyze the impact of work from home on employees during the COVID 19 lockdown. Building on the existing scenario of work from home, the study explores the physical, social, psychological, and financial effects of work from home among the employees. In this context, employees are defined as any person, employed in the private sector and public sector, who are currently undergoing work from home.
Based on the review of literature on studies related to work from home and pandemic lockdowns, an online questionnaire was distributed to respondents across India. They were asked a set of questions, which clearly intends to collect enough information to frame a logical research output. 165 working professionals participated in the study. Analysis of the responses indicated that work from home has been associated with increased stress and lethargy, in comparison with work from the office. The results demonstrate that work from home does have a detrimental impact on the employees.
On this basis, it is recommended that organizations should develop and implement a work from home policy, with positive considerations to employee wellbeing and motivation. Further research is also suggested, to identify other factors which could contribute to developing an efficient and effective work from home culture.

The Indian Hybrid Warfare Strategy: Implications for Pakistan
Authors: Babar Summar Iqbal , Mirza Muhammad Nadeem
Published: March 2021

War spins the wheels of history. It changes societies, alters lives, and brings about new dimensions to inflict more brutality on human beings. This is what happened in the aftermath of World War II, when the advent of the nuclear weapons set about a chapter of sophisticated and lethal warfare. Conventional war between the great powers has since been antiquated. It only puts to display the apparent capabilities of the adversary so that deterrence remains intact. War has now become multilevel and multi-dimensional. In such a case hybrid warfare strategy comes to play - which falls under the third dimension of warfare and includes application of both conventional and nonconventional means. It becomes lethal because it brings together the use of technology and cognition to bring about destruction and disruption. Crimean annexation by Russia is used as a case study in this paper which discusses the threat perception levels of the West which was a consequence of the event. On the other hand, the Strategic Interaction theory examines the asymmetric dimension of warfare which a weaker party undertakes in order to subdue or challenge its adversity. To put all this in context, India and Pakistan both being nuclear states do not directly confront each other by conventional means; rather they opt for the non-conventional means. The doctrinal change and rapid military modernization drive by India creates security dilemma for Pakistan. This paper studies that how India has employed hybrid warfare strategy against Pakistan, what are the vulnerabilities of Pakistan that India is exploiting and can exploit, how Pakistan can confront this type of warfare.

Published: March 2021

In family communication, the effective communication stands as the base of strong relations among the family members. However, a little gap in communication weakens family relationships and creates severe problems. Like all types of advanced communication channels; the advent of social media has also facilitated the effectiveness of interface among people. Although, social media's instantaneous communication process ended the communication gap among masses. Thus, many scholars believed that it has also created a communication gap among humans, especially in family communication. In this way, this study aimed to examine the communication gap created by social media among middle-class families of sub-division Latifabad Sindh, Pakistan. The researchers adopted a focus group discussion technique to collect data from three middle-class families. The result of this study shows that most of the focus group participants prefer communication in interpersonal communication settings. Further, it reveals that the majority of the family members use social media by smartphone, tabs and laptops. Significantly, the findings of this study emerged that social media creates a communication gap among middle-class families of Latifabad Hyderabad, Sindh –Pakistan.

Enhancing Electronic Voting With A Dual-Blockchain Architecture
Authors: Leune Kees , Punjwani Jai
Published: March 2021

Voting is one of the most fundamental aspects of democracy. Over the past few decades, voting methods around the world have expanded from traditional paper ballot systems to electronic voting (e-voting), in which votes are written directly to computer memory. Like any computer system, voting machines are susceptible to technical vulnerabilities that open up opportunities for hackers to tamper with votes, causing the use of electronic voting technology to raise concerns about ballot security. We describe how electronic voting can be supported by blockchain technology to ensure voter secrecy, vote correctness, and equal voting rights. In this paper, we present a system using two separate blockchains, each with separate transactions and consensus algorithms. We describe a prototype implementation that validates our ideas by executing several proof-of-concept simulations of a range of voting scenarios.
