Published: October 2020

Abstract. In the framework of the EUREC4A (Elucidating the role of clouds-circulation coupling in climate) campaign that took place in January and February 2020, integrated water vapour (IWV) contents were retrieved over the open Tropical Atlantic Ocean using Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) data acquired from three research vessels (R/Vs): R/V Atalante, R/V Maria S. Merian, and R/V Meteor. This paper describes the GNSS processing method and compares the GNSS IWV retrievals with IWV estimates from the European Center for Medium-range Weather Forecast (ECMWF) fifth ReAnalysis (ERA5), from the Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) infra-red products, and from terrestrial GNSS stations located along the tracks of the ships. The ship-borne GNSS IWVs retrievals from R/V Atalante and R/V Meteor compare well with ERA5, with small biases (−1.62 kg m−2 for R/V Atalante and +0.65 kg m−2 for R/V Meteor) and a root mean square (RMS) difference about 2.3 kg m−2. The results for the R/V Maria S. Merian are found to be of poorer quality, with RMS difference of 6 kg m−2 which are very likely due to the location of the GNSS antenna on this R/V prone to multipath effects. The comparisons with ground-based GNSS data confirm these results. The comparisons of all three R/V IWV retrievals with MODIS infra-red product show large RMS differences of 5–7 kg m−2, reflecting the enhanced uncertainties of this satellite product in the tropics. These ship-borne IWV retrievals are intended to be used for the description and understanding of meteorological phenomena that occurred during the campaign, east of Barbados, Guyana and northern Brazil. Both the raw GNSS measurements and the IWV estimates are available through the AERIS data center (https://en.aeris-data.fr/). The digital object identifiers (DOIs) for R/V Atalante IWV and raw datasets are https://doi.org/10.25326/71 (Bosser et al., 2020a) and https://doi.org/10.25326/74 (Bosser et al., 2020d), respectively.

Best for Braille Users: A Comparison of Mapping Software
Authors: Kareem Zada Ashna Abdulrahman
Published: October 2020

Abstract. Mapping software refers to a type of computer software that allows the user to graphically represent, analyze, and model large quantities of data in either a static or dynamic format, allowing the user to convey a geographical information. It is also a visual tool that allows specialists to communicate and share spatial information easily. The researcher found that the three most significant aspects of successful map creation were those that were visual, spatial, and those that allowed for effective communication. Within the context of this study, mapping software is explored within the context of the benefits of different mapping software choices as they pertain to the benefits that those who are blind or visually impaired may receive from the software itself. The main purpose of the study was to explore the extent to which persons with low vision, visual impairment, or blindness found mapping software to be useful. Moreover, the researcher investigated the existing advantages and disadvantages of using different mapping software options and compared the features of those programs with the features of the programs that have been considered to be the best for use with Braille. The results show that ArcGIS offers a powerful way to visualize data and gain understanding and insights that may have been hidden or less accessible in other software choices.
GeoAI for Topographic Mapping Feature Extraction to Knowledge Graph
Authors: Usery E. Lynn
Published: October 2020

Abstract. The U.S Geological Survey is exploring the use of machine learning and geospatial artificial intelligence (GeoAI) for topographic mapping tasks. These automated tasks include extracting topographic features such as hydrography, transportation, vegetation canopy, urban 3D structures, and others from raw data including lidar point clouds, color and near infrared images, historic topographic maps, and Web sources of existing geospatial resources. Current (2020) work includes extracting hydrography from elevation data, and geomorphic features with geographic names from historical topographical maps using Deep Learning. Extracted features are included in a geographic information system (GIS), supporting topographic mapping and modeling activities, and as semantic entities in a graph data model, building a knowledge graph for topographic data. These GIS datasets and topographic knowledge graphs can be used in automated topographic mapping processes and artificial intelligence routines that develop data for hydrologic, biologic, and geologic models that form part of the USGS EarthMap vision.
Liberating microfossils from indurated carbonates: comparison of three disaggregation methods
Authors: Beasley Charlotte , Parvaz Daniel B. , Cotton Laura , Littler Kate
Published: October 2020

Abstract. Three disaggregation methods, i.e. Calgon, acetic acid and electric
pulse fragmentation (EPF), have been applied to a range of heavily
lithified, carbonate-rich sedimentary rock samples of Paleogene age. Samples
are predominantly from the carbonate-rich, shallow water domain (<250 m palaeo-water depth) of Tanzania, Malta and the United Arab Emirates
(Paleogene Tethys Ocean). The effectiveness and efficiency of each method
has been compared, in addition to the preservation of the resultant liberated
microfossil material (primarily larger foraminifera; LF). Of the three
methods, the most efficient and effective was EPF, which liberated the
largest number of LF in a very short processing time and resulted in the
best preservation. Samples with calcitic, silicic, and clay matrices and
cements were successfully disaggregated using EPF. In this study, recovered
microfossils were largely >500 µm, suggesting this
technique may be more appropriate for liberating larger microfossils (e.g.
LFs); however, we discuss nuances to the method that would allow for more
effective recovery of smaller microfossil specimens. The more traditional
acetic acid method was also able to disaggregate a number of the samples;
however, preservation of the LF was compromised. We suggest a best-practice
methodology for implementing EPF in micropalaeontological studies.

Impact of Fraud Preventive Measures on Good Corporate Governance
Authors: Rehman Ali , Hashim Fathyah
Published: October 2020

This study seeks to understand the impact of fraud preventive measures on good corporate governance within Omani public listed companies. Fraud preventive measures are considered as fraud risk assessment and preventive role of forensic accounting. This study also proposed that preventive role of forensic accounting mediates the relationship between fraud risk assessment and good corporate governance. Unit of analysis is public listed companies in Oman. This study utilized census sampling with quantitative cross sectional study. PLS-SEM was employed for the data and result analysis. Results suggest that, fraud risk assessment does not have significant impact on good corporate governance; whereas, preventive role of forensic accounting has significant impact on good corporate governance and it is also mediating between fraud risk assessment and good corporate governance. This study can assist regulators and policy makers towards inclusion of forensic accounting as permanent and compulsory component of the codes of corporate governance. Moreover, it is highly recommended for organizations to have in-house antifraud activity which can support and enhance good corporate governance. This study identifies forensic accounting as in-house preventive measure activity which can be available within an organization and working as governance management. This preventive role of forensic accounting is not explored before especially in the Omani market.
A Field Map for Untangling the Entangled Sea
Authors: Harris Cline Diane
Published: October 2020

This article is situated at the intersection of ships, the sea, humans, and the nonhuman things on board and ashore. It explores the role of objects in maintaining social relations, inspired by materiality studies, entanglement, and Actor-Network Theory. The seafarer-thing relationship is the primary focus of this study through which I argue that archaeologists must not only catalog and classify the artifacts they find but also consider their object biographies, use-lives, and the stories, which can be told in the space between human-thing and thing-thing codependencies. The visualizations model the entanglement inside the complex systems of a merchant ship, the things carried on board, the humans, and activities on the ship, using the Polyaigos shipwreck as the protagonist in our thought experiment. I introduce “field maps,” which combine network sociograms with an interpretive layer of fields (economic, social, technological, infrastructure, religious) to analyze the ways humans and things are entangled.
Tangled Myths and Moral Networks: Pacific Comparanda and the Samothracian Sea
Authors: Blakely Sandra
Published: October 2020

Political and spiritual ecologies provide a framework for comparative analysis between the Melanesian kula and the civic and ritual institutions around the mystery cult of the Great Gods of Samothrace. These ecologies recognize the role of cosmology and cultural narrative in organizing social behavior into resilient responses that enable social and economic needs. This study utilizes three categories F. H. Damon has established for exploring the kula: collective thinking, social organizations, and the coupling of nature and culture in complex adaptive systems. Both Greek and Melanesian systems are characterized by asymmetrical exchange, a role for prominent families, identity, trust, and emotional intensity. Analogies at the cosmological level, legible in three Samothracian myths, suggest that the Greek systems rendered the natural world a model of the moral forces stipulated by proxenia grants that mitigated the anthropogenic risks of maritime travel, making myth as critical as civic institutions in realizing maritime safety.
Cockles, Mussels, Fishing Nets, and Finery: The Relationship between Cult, Textiles, and the Sea Depicted on a Minoan-Style Gold Ring from Pylos
Authors: Tully Caroline
Published: October 2020

The Griffin Warrior Ring No. 2 is a gold Minoan-style engraved signet ring from Pylos dating to the Late Helladic IIA (1580–1490 BCE). The ring's bezel depicts a seascape with a columnar tree shrine flanked by palm trees situated on a rocky outcrop. Five elaborately dressed female figures stand on either side of the shrine. The tree shrine features a net pattern in the space between its stone or brick piers. I argue that this represents a fishing net and that the structure is a sea altar dedicated to an unnamed Minoan tree deity. The ring's hoop is decorated with cockleshells, further emphasizing its marine theme. I propose that the iconography alludes to marine food resources, practical and luxury textile fibers, sea trade, transculturality, and cult and is testament to the importance of the sea in the Aegean Bronze Age.
O saber imediato e mediato: crença e saber? Um “diálogo” entre Jacobi e Hegel.
Authors: Martone Juliana Ferraci
Published: October 2020

A exposição tem como ponto de partida a leitura hegeliana de Jacobi, exposta na obra mais madura Enciclopédia das ciências filosóficas de 1827-1830, a respeito do saber imediato e, consequentemente, da oposição entre crença e saber. A finalidade da comparação é evidenciar o que Jacobi de fato entende por “saber imediato” em oposição ao saber mediato (ciência) e mostrar por que a crença não pode ser meramente subjetiva — como foi e é ainda largamente interpretado — e sobretudo por que individualidade não é sinônimo de subjetividade como queria Hegel. Afinal, as dificuldades e equívocos da leitura hegeliana servem para entender melhor os próprios conceitos de Jacobi.
Um remédio para os males da sensibilidade a psicologia empírica de Sulzer
Authors: Tolle Oliver
Published: October 2020

A natureza ilusória da sensibilidade, desde sempre evidente pelas dificuldades presentes na obtenção de conhecimento verdadeiro de si mesmo e do mundo, encontra em Sulzer um remédio que surpreende por sua estratégia inaudita. Em vez de recomendar o controle das sensações e paixões por meio das faculdades superiores, quer dizer, do entendimento e da razão — o que se tornou, por assim dizer, uma máxima filosófica — Sulzer defende que a ilusão só pode ser dissipada por um retorno constante à sensibilidade, até que ela aprenda a lidar consistentemente com os seus conteúdos.

Ernst Platner e a história pragmática da alma
Authors: Garcia Luis Fellipe
Published: October 2020

Este estudo é uma exploração da concepção de lógica como uma “história pragmática da alma [pragmatische Seelengeschichte]”, tal como ela é formulada pelo médico e filósofo alemão Ernst Platner. Da análise dessa fórmula, pretende-se extrair um esboço do modo como ele concebe as noções de: alma, história, lógica e filosofia. Para tanto, o argumento será estruturado como uma análise: (i) da alma enquanto objeto de estudo da lógica; (ii) da história pragmática enquanto método de estudo da lógica; e (iii) da compreensão da relação entre lógica e filosofia extraída por Platner dessa abordagem.  O objetivo deste trabalho não é fazer uma avaliação crítica da teoria de Platner, mas antes fazer um esboço do horizonte de questões que se abre a partir dessa compreensão da porta de entrada da filosofia – a lógica – como uma espécie de história da alma.
Entre dialogicidade e ética. Desenvolvimentos em torno da questão do Outro com base no pensamento de Johann Georg Hamann.
Authors: Justo José Miranda
Published: October 2020

Partindo do conceito hamanniano do dialógico e das respectivas relações com o filosofema da produção de mais-sentido, a presente conferência explora a categoria de alteridade enquanto nódulo conceptual central na ética. A partir desta abertura, procuraremos estabelecer uma analítica de alguns processos que conectam a questão do Outro e a questão da linguagem humana: interrogação, repetição, analogia, parataxe e substituição metafórica. Estes processos revelam-se cruciais na constituição de uma ética da descoberta, ou seja, uma ética que se articule a partir da ideia de abertura ao Outro apoiada na desmontagem da cristalização do já-dito e do já-sabido da linguagem e dos relacionamentos humanos.

QUALITY FUNCTION DEPLOYMENT (QFD) APPLIED TO THE VARIABLES THAT INFLUENCE QUALITY COSTS IN MECHANIZED FOREST HARVEST OPERATIONS
Authors: Silva Oliveira Gustavo , Casemiro Soares Philipe Ricardo , Sampietro Jean Alberto
Published: October 2020

Globalization and client demands result in the need for investments for the survival of the companies. Forest harvest represents the highest costs and losses of wood production. Quality function deployment (QFD) is recommended to achieve quality by detecting customer needs. Thus, this study aimed to determine the variables that influence quality costs in the mechanized harvest to reach the quality control of forest activity. The research was developed in a company located in the State of Santa Catarina, Brazil. The variables that influence quality costs in four categories (evaluation, prevention, internal and external flaws) were identified. The QFD method was used to translate the needs of internal and external customers (critical success factors) of mechanized harvesting activities into measurable technical characteristics (variables that influence quality costs), determining the weight for each relationship and, consequently, the balance of the categories, besides the correlations of the variables evaluated as strong, medium, weak, and non-existent. Among the 29 variables identified, 18 consisted of evaluation and prevention, representing the relative weights of 37.17% and 26.49%, respectively, and 11 represented internal and external flaws, with values of 26.57% and 9.73%, respectively. The correlation matrix found 334 correlation of the 406 cells: 195 (58%) strong, 86 (26%) medium, and 53 (16%) weak. In conclusion, the company must improve process quality by investing in evaluation and prevention aimed at reducing non-conformities and expansion of revenues.
LAND COVER DYNAMICS AND LANDSCAPE STRUCTURE IN THE AREA SURROUNDING WATER RESERVOIRS, MOUNTAINOUS REGION OF RIO DE JANEIRO
Authors: Cardinelli Lucas De Siqueira , Gleriani José Marinaldo , Martins Sebastião Venâncio
Published: October 2020

The aim of this study is to evaluate land cover dynamics and landscape structure in the area surrounding two water reservoirs built-in 2009 for energy production, in the mountainous region of the State of Rio de Janeiro (Serra Fluminense). The analysis was developed through the interpretation of Landsat images from 2003, 2009, and 2013, considering the following land cover classes: early successional forest, mid successional forest, pasture, pasture with shrubs and trees, geological outcrop, urban area, and water area. We used thematic maps to determine landscape metrics of size and proximity in the reservoirs catchment area and the Permanent Preservation Area (PPA). At catchment level, pasture was predominant, a consequence of the extensive livestock production carried out in the whole watershed. During the evaluated period, the forest area remained consistent, however, fragmented in many small patches of mid successional forest. The average patch area of mid successional forest is three times the size of the early successional forest patches. For neither forest land cover classes, no significant variations through time in area or isolation were identified. On the PPA, an overall reduction of the forest cover was registered before the construction of the reservoir. However, from 2009 to 2013, after the enclosure of PPA areas, the forest cover increased 35% via assisted natural regeneration, suggesting a high potential for cost-effective restoration in the region.
PRODUCTIVITY AND COSTS OF FOREST CUTTING IN A PINE STAND UNDER TWO THINNING METHODS
Authors: Cabral Oscar Manuel de Jesús Vera , Lopes Eduardo Da Silva , Rodrigues Carla Krulikowski , Filho Afonso Figueiredo
Published: October 2020

The need for higher value-added wood products and the high cost of mechanized operations stimulate the development of new thinning methods in order to provide gains in productive capacity of forest stands. In this context, the aim of this study was to analyze the effect of two thinning methods on productivity and costs of the forest harvesting in the generation of multi‐products. The study was carried out in a 10-year-old Pinus taeda stand under to two thinning methods: TH5 (harvester, with systematic harvesting of the fifth tree row and selective in adjacent rows); and TH7 (chainsaw and harvester, with systematic harvesting of the seventh tree row and selective in adjacent rows). We determined the working cycle times, productivity, and production costs through a time and motion study, with the averages of partial and total times being compared between thinning methods by the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test (α ≤ 0.05). From the obtained results, it was found that the thinning methods directly affected the harvester’s partial and total times, with the largest time obtained in the TH7 thinning method due to the need to locate previously cut trees by chainsaw, with a consequent reduction in the productivity and an increase in the production costs when compared to the TH5 method. However, despite the higher production cost, the TH7 method showed potential with the use of mechanization in all activities, making it possible to increase selective thinning and contribute to gains in forest stand quality.

Published: October 2020

The objective of the research was to characterize the energetic properties of the charcoal from species from the cerrado sensu stricto, as well as to evaluate the effect of the final carbonization temperature. Five species were selected for study. Ten specimens were obtained from the logs of each species, submitted to two treatments with five replicates each. The basic density of the wood was calculated by the hydrostatic balance method. The charcoal was produced by the pyrolysis process of the wood in a muffle furnace adapted to capture the pyrolignous liquor, in which two heating speeds were used with final temperatures of 500 °C and 550 °C. Through the pyrolysis process, the total gravimetric yield of the coal, yield in condensable gas, and non-condensable gas were obtained. The apparent density, the immediate chemical analysis (ICA) of the charcoal was determined and, finally, its calorific value was calculated. The YC presented acceptable values for the species Terminalia glabrescens (35.43%) and Vatairea macrocarpa (32.59%). The volatile material content of Vatairea macrocarpa (22.53%) presented satisfactory values. Fixed carbon, ash and heat content were also considered acceptable for the species Terminalia glabrescens (74.43%, 0.96% 7457.40 kcal.kg-¹), Vatairea macrocarpa (75.21% 0.55% and 7443.57 kcal.kg-¹) and Xylopia aromatica (74.27%, 0.67% and 7365.56 kcal.kg-¹), presenting high energy potential. The YC, YL and YNNC were influenced by the heating speeds as well as the content of volatile materials. The recommended final carbonization temperature is 550 °C.

Measuring public expenses with workforce in fighting forest fire. The frequency of forest fires and the lack of investment in public institutions arising from the current Brazilian economic crisis, emerges the difficulty of competent institutions in managing resources due to the increasing number of fires, mainly the labor. The objective of this work was to measure the expenses with labor in the combats against forest fires in Public Conservation Units by comparing it with the labor with prevention. This exploratory, documentary and ex post facto study was prepared based on documents and reports from public institutions involved in fighting a major fire in a Biological Reserve in the State of Espírito Santo. The data were analyzed according to the participating institutions, number of participants, positions, value of remunerations and days worked. To measure the average daily expenditure on different remunerations, an accounting model was developed, using the values of the remunerations for the year in which the fire occurred. In the end, it could be concluded that, for every 124.3 hectares burned, 110 individuals worked per day, the majority were military personnel at the beginning of their careers and that the expenditure on public labor employed in combat, both in quantity and remuneration, was much higher than the labor with the temporary hiring of firefighters.

Published: October 2020

This paper presents a methodology to obtain the shear strength of glued joints, at the torsion moment. In the current standards this strength is measured by compression tests. The device designed for this purpose are also presented. The motivation for this test is related to the possibility of execution of glued wooden structures with joints under bending moment, shear force and normal force simultaneously. It was admitted the hypothesis that the joint strength can be different depending on the test type. The methodology is relatively simple and in order to obtain the results classic equations from Mechanics of Materials were used. The strength results of 198 test specimens, tested by standard methodology, were compared, with an equal number of specimens made and tested with the proposed methodology, resulting in 396 tests. 208 specimens were glued with resorcinol-formaldehyde and 188 with castor oil-based adhesive. The wood used was Eucalyptus sp. The specimens were made according to seven series involving gluing with the following angles between the fibers: 0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75° and 90°. Regardless of the adhesive type, there was a significant difference for the strengths presented by the two methods. From the seven angles studied, it was noticed a difference in six of them, except for the 30° series. The compression shear strength was severely affected by the gluing angle, with increasing losses towards higher angles. On the contrary, the strength offered by the joints tested by torsion did not seem affected by the gluing angle.Keywords: wood; adhesive; characterization; procedure.

This study was made to determine the effect of Current Ratio (CR), Total Assets Turnover (TAT), Return on Assers (ROA), Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) on stock returns in the machinery and heavy equipment sub-sector companies listed on the Stock Exchange Indonesia (IDX) in the period 2014 - 2018. Stock returns are calculated based on changes in closing stock prices and estimated influence of financial performance factors using the panel data regression method. Based on empirical findings show that financial performance that has been proxy using; CR, TAT, ROA, and DER do not affect stock returns. The results of the study have implications that the company's financial performance is not an important consideration for investors in the decision to buy shares in the Machinery and Heavy Equipment sub-sector company. In many studies, stock prices are much influenced by macroeconomic variables, such as; exchange rates, inflation, interest rates, and oil prices.

The results of a seismic hazard analysis for the country by the Seismic Risk Subcommittee (SRS) of the Standards Association are presented. The SRS was formed in 1979 to advise the Standards Association Loadings Code Amendments Committee on the frequency and level of earthquake ground shaking throughout New Zealand. Results of the SRS study are in terms of estimates of five percent damped horizontal acceleration response spectra for 50, 150, 450 and 1000 year return periods. It is intended that these results will form the basis for developing seismic design response spectra for the proposed new Loadings Code (NZS 4203).
Incumbent’s Bane or Gain? Renewable Support and Strategic Behavior in Electricity Markets
Authors: Darudi Ali , Weigt Hannes
Published: October 2020

Incumbent firms play a decisive role in the success of renewable support policies.

Their investments in renewables as well as their operational strategies for their conventional CO2 emitting technologies affect the transition to a sustainable energy system. We use a game theoretical framework to analyze incumbents’ reactions to different renewable support policies, namely feed-in tariff (FIT), feed-in premium (FIP), and auction-based policies. We show that a regulator should choose a support scheme based on concerns about either market power or emission abatement: in FIP-based policies, the incumbent’s strategic behavior leads to lower CO2 emissions, but a higher market price compared to FIT-based policies. Furthermore, for FIP-based policies, the regulator might want to incentivize incumbents directly (to further reduce CO2 emissions) or newcomers (to further reduce market power). Particularly in FIP-based auctions, incumbents have the incentive to obtain all auctioned capacity, which could lead to an unchanged market price despite the entrance of new capacity into the market.
ENERGY STAR Appliance Market Shares: Do They Respond to Electricity Prices, and Does It Matter?
Authors: Schwarz Peter M. , Depken Craig A. , Herron Michael W. , Correlf Benjamin J.
Published: October 2020

We address an apparent paradox that the market shares of four ENERGY STAR appliances in the United States do not respond to within-state changes in electricity prices. We resolve the paradox by showing that market shares do respond to between-state variation in electricity prices. We also suggest an economic explanation for the paradox through the timing of appliance purchases. Using the estimation results, we find that the four ENERGY STAR appliances reduce carbon emissions by 1.9 million megawatt-hours per year, equivalent to removing 0.1% of all U.S. vehicles, and that the addition of a $100/ton CO2 price would increase these figures to 2.1 million megawatt-hours and 0.11%.
Effects of Carbon Mitigation on Co-pollutants at Industrial Facilities in Europe
Authors: Zwickl Klara , Sturn Simon , Boyce James K.
Published: October 2020

In addition to global climate benefits, carbon mitigation improves local air quality by reducing emissions of hazardous co-pollutants. Using data on large industrial point sources in Europe, we estimate how changes in carbon dioxide emissions affect emissions of the three co-pollutants SOX, NOX, and PM10 for samples of 630 to 2,400 facilities for the years 2007 to 2015. We find substantial and statistically significant co-pollutant elasticities of about 1.0 for SOX, 0.9 for NOX, and 0.7 for PM10. These elasticities vary by economic activity, and are substantially higher for the production of energy. For climate policy-induced CO2 emission reductions we find elasticities in the energy sector of 1.2 to 1.8 for SOX, 1.1 to 1.5 for NOX, and 0.8 for PM10. Using these estimates to calculate monetary air quality co-benefits suggests that conventional European Environmental Agency estimates of carbon damages that omit co-benefits significantly underestimate the benefits of carbon mitigation.
Ciclo profissional da docência universitária: percepções sobre qualidade incorporada pelo capital cultural

Published: October 2020

Neste estudo, objetivamos analisar e compreender as experiências profissionais, construídas ao longo do ciclo de desenvolvimento profissional da carreira docente, e seus efeitos para o (des)investimento da carreira universitária, bem como analisar a aquisição do capital cultural (incorporado, objetivado e institucionalizado) para a qualificação das atividades que integram a docência universitária. O estudo é qualitativo, de natureza narrativa. Por meio da análise dos dados produzidos, concluímos que o capital cultural construído ao longo do desenvolvimento profissional docente, reconfigurado durante o desinvestimento da carreira, constitui um patrimônio ou capital simbólico que pode e deve ser socializado e compartilhado nos espaços institucionais, gerando impactos qualitativos sobre as aprendizagens da docência junto às demais etapas do ciclo de vida profissional. Entendemos que o capital cultural, em seu estado objetivado e institucionalizado, evidenciado por meio da titulação e dos artefatos culturais que integram o currículo do docente universitário, é um tipo de capital que demanda autonomia e capacidade de (trans)formação do seu portador, pois apenas registra um valor convencional e jurídico. O capital cultural incorporado, construído ao longo da trajetória docente, expresso por meio do respeito, prestígio ou reputação docente, reveste-se de poder simbólico, podendo subsidiar ações institucionalizadas de qualificação da docência e das atividades universitárias.
Hva bidrar DBT-forskningen hos NSSF med i det selvmordsforebyggende arbeidet?
Authors: Dymbe Kine , Mehlum Lars
Published: October 2020

DIALEKTISK ATFERDSTERAPI (DBT) ble førstutviklet av Marsha Linehan (1993) sombehandling for voksne med emosjonelt ustabilpersonlighetsforstyrrelse (BPD) og gjentatt suicidal og selvskadende atferd. Mennesker medBPD har høy risiko for selvmordsatferd (Black,Blum, Pfohl & Hale, 2004) og er derfor en viktiggruppe å fokusere på i det selvmordsforebyggende arbeidet. BPD har lenge blitt ansett somvanskelig tilgjengelig for behandling, og mangeklinikere har vegret seg for å påta seg behandling av pasienter med BPD. Nasjonalt senterfor selvmordsforskning og -forebygging har ien årrekke arbeidet med å effektevaluere DBTog drive systematisk arbeid for å utbre brukenav denne behandlingsmetoden. I denne artikkelen får du en beskrivelse av DBT-forskningenutført ved NSSF og dens betydning for forebygging av selvskadende og suicidal atferd.
Práticas integrativas e complementares na residência em Medicina de Família e Comunidade
Authors: Bezerra Vanessa de Oliveira , Negreiros Ricardo Andre Medeiros , Morais Maria do Socorro Trindade
Published: October 2020

Problema: Ao utilizar as práticas integrativas e complementares (PICs), em seu processo de trabalho, o profissional de saúde tem outras ferramentas que podem ajudar a responder e explicar de forma rápida e menos iatrogênica os sintomas não explicáveis para a biomedicina. Entretanto, o ensino destas práticas nos Programas de Residência Médica em Medicina de Família e Comunidade tem sido difusa e escassa. Métodos: Trata-se de um relato de experiência de uma equipe de Saúde da Família, na periferia de uma capital do Nordeste/Brasil, que utilizou a auriculoterapia nos usuários acompanhados entre os meses de agosto a dezembro de 2016. Resultados: A oferta da auriculoterapia traz vários aprendizados e desafios. O processo iniciado com apoio da RMFC evidenciou, o que já se observava em outros espaços, grande aceitação da população, fruto também, da demanda reprimida por outras formas de cuidado. Percebeu-se grande acolhimento de profissionais e usuários que, superando preconceitos, viram a oportunidade de ampliar sua caixa de ferramentas no cuidado ao usuário e a si mesmo. Como limites para a oferta da auriculoterapia na USF, destacamos: falta de espaços adequados, materiais insuficientes para as sessões, baixo investimento da gestão local em educação permanente para trabalhadores em PICs. Conclusão: Acredita-se que as PICs vêm contribuindo para a qualificação e ampliação do cuidado no PRMFC, sobretudo, nos serviços de Atenção Básica.
REPRESENTAÇÕES SOCIAIS: SEU STATUS ONTOLÓGICO
Authors: Santos Elismar Alves dos , Guareschi Pedrinho Arcides
Published: October 2020

O status ontológico das representações sociais (RS) tem seus próprios fundamentos filosóficos, o que indica sua origem e identidade. Moscovici (1925–2014), idealizador da teoria das representações sociais (TRS), recorreu a diferentes pensadores para demonstrar como se dá a formação das representações sociais nos seres humanos. Entre estes destacam-se Durkheim, Lévy-Bruhl, Piaget e Freud. Significa que o status ontológico das representações sociais encontra fundamentos nos aspectos sociológicos, antropológicos, cognitivos e psicanalíticos. O objetivo deste artigo consiste em mostrar como esses pensadores influenciaram na criação do status ontológico das representações sociais. Para alcançar essa finalidade, o estudo valeu-se do método dedutivo como base lógica de raciocínio, da pesquisa bibliográfica como técnica de investigação e realizaram-se diversas análises das obras, em diferentes etapas, pela utilização de fichas de documentação. A conclusão a que chegamos é que as representações sociais não são apenas ideias filosóficas, mas especialmente práticas vivenciais transmitidas por meio da comunicação.
O QUE PODEMOS APRENDER COM OS AUTISTAS: A EXPERIÊNCIA CLÍNICA DE UMA PROFESSORA DO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL E UM ALUNO AUTISTA
Authors: Carvalho Patrícia Fernandes de
Published: October 2020

Este artigo tem como objetivo refletir o conceito de inclusão sob duas perspectivas: a educação inclusiva e o direito à educação especial, garantida por lei na Constituição Brasileira de 1988, e a inclusão, segundo o conceito psicanalítico, considerando o que podemos aprender com os autistas em uma experiência escolar. Para tanto, buscaremos, nos estudos de Freud, o conceito de impossibilidade na esfera do educar. Também usaremos as referências psicanalíticas de orientação lacaniana que demonstram, na estrutura autística, a importância no apoio do duplo na constituição de uma borda e construção de um Outro sob medida para o sujeito. Este texto apresenta vinhetas clínicas narradas por uma professora do ensino fundamental, demonstrando o que os autistas nos ensinam.
Flugplattformen zwischen Arbeitsbeschaﬀ ungsprogramm und Raumplanung. Vom Scheitern einer transatlantischen Technikvision, ca. 1927–1943 / Floating Airports—Between Public Works and Spatial Planning. The Failure of a Transatlantic Technological Vision, ca. 1927–1943
Authors: Valerius Alexander , Woschech Anke
Published: October 2020

In der allgemeinen Luftfahrteuphorie der Zwischenkriegszeit wurde die Möglichkeit einer regelmäßigen, sicheren und schnellen Ozeanüberquerung nicht nur unter technischen und ökonomischen, sondern vor allem auch unter politischen Gesichtspunkten diskutiert. Die damalige Spannbreite gesellschaftspolitischer Ordnungsvorstellungen auf dem Gebiet der Luftfahrt lässt sich exemplarisch an einer heutzutage wenig bekannten, da nie umgesetzten technischen Vision aufzeigen: der Installation von schwimmenden künstlichen Inseln, die vordergründig einer sicheren Passage der Nordatlantikroute dienen sollten. Zu dieser Idee kursierten in den 1920er und 1930er Jahren in nahezu allen Luftfahrtnationen zahlreiche Entwürfe mehr oder weniger ähnlicher Bauart. Der Beitrag stellt zwei dieser Pläne vor: Zum einen das „Seadrome“-Projekt des kanadischstämmigen Ingenieurs Edward Robert Armstrong, dem geistigen Urheber und prominentesten Vertreter der Idee schwimmender Inseln, der in den USA im Zuge des New Deals der Umsetzung eines solchen Bauvorhabens recht nahekam. Zum anderen das wehrtechnische wie raumplanerische Projekt atlantischer Flugplattformen des Bauingenieurs, NSDAP-Gründungsmitglieds und NS-Ideologen Gottfried Feder, das dieser als Inhaber eines Lehrstuhls für Raumplanung in einer 1940 erschienenen Denkschrift entwickelte. In vergleichender Perspektive fragt der Beitrag nach dem jeweiligen Verständnis dieser beiden Akteure bezüglich des Verhältnisses von Technik und Politik, und setzt dieses in Beziehung zu den institutionellen und politischen Rahmenbedingungen, innerhalb derer sie ihre Projekte entwickelten. Dieser Fokus erlaubt, dezidiert außertechnische Ursachen des letztendlichen Scheiterns dieser Idee in den Blick zu nehmen.

Die Kommentierung von Statusmeldungen in sozialen Netzwerken aus strafrechtlicher Perspektive
Authors: Tassis Melina
Published: October 2020

Soziale Netzwerke bieten durch die Möglichkeit der rasanten Verbreitung von Meldungen und Verknüpfung der Nutzer Dimensionen des Informationsaustausches, die in dieser effektiven Form der Vernetzung im wahren Leben nicht umsetzbar sind. Oft wird nicht mehr nur diskutiert, sondern bloßgestellt, beleidigt, zu Straftaten aufgefordert oder rechtsextremistische Propaganda betrieben. In sozialen Netzwerken findet sich ein großes Publikum. Zahlreiche Menschen können die Taten wahrnehmen, kommentieren und unterstützen.

Gegenstand der Arbeit sind die strafrechtsdogmatischen Probleme, die sich bei der Kommentierung von Statusmeldungen mit rechtswidrigem Inhalt in sozialen Netzwerken stellen und ob diese den medienspezifischen Besonderheiten gerecht werden. Die Frage nach einer möglichen Strafbarkeit bei der Kommentierung von Statusmeldungen in sozialen Netzwerken ist längst kein theoretisches Problem mehr, sondern ein bereits in den Gerichtssälen angekommenes. Liken, Teilen, Kommentieren; das alles gehört mittlerweile zur Alltagskommunikation und wird in unterschiedlichen Zusammenhängen sogar mehrmals täglich betätigt. Daraus können sich strafrechtliche Folgen ergeben, denn das Internet ist kein rechtsfreier Raum.
50-dinar banknote created during peace: Released during the War
Authors: Pantelić Svetlana
Published: October 2020

The paper provides a review of the activities of the Ministry of Finance and the National Bank of Yugoslavia in the period from 1931 to 1941, during which the 50-dinar banknote was prepared, printed and, after almost ten years of waiting, put into circulation for a short amount of time. The preparations for the production of the 50-dinar banknote, which bears the date 1 December 1931, began at the beginning of the same year. The banknote was made for the event of an emergency situation in the country, when silver coins disappear from circulation, to replace those coins, and to enable unhindered cash circulation. It was released on 8 April 1941, when the Kingdom of Yugoslavia was already at war, in the total amount of 30,792,000 pieces. The National Bank only put a small part of that into circulation, and destroyed a larger part, but the occupying forces also used it for payments in the country. The withdrawal from circulation was carried out by the Serbian National Bank in the occupied Serbia, from 14 to 22 October 1941.
Forecasting results, farming area and yield of potato production in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Authors: Nedeljković Miroslav , Vujić Jovana
Published: October 2020

The aim of the authors was to create an adequate trend model that would be able to forecast the results of potato production in Bosnia and Herzegovina for a three-year period (2019-2021) by using quantitative research method and trend analysis. Data collected during twenty-seven years (1992-2018) were used for forecasting, and the research results have indicated that the farming area and production of potato will decrease, while yield will be the only parameter of potato production that will show the tendency of growth in the obserevd three-year period. The obtained research results can be used for making strategic decisions related to the development of this branch of agricultural production.
