A Pintura de João Sebastião da Costa: a iconografia no espaço sagrado e profano
Authors: Moreira Valéria Pereira , Bertoloto José Serafim , Dos Santos Juliano Batista , Mendes Fernandes da Fonseca Voltolini Ana Graciela
Published: October 2020

João Sebastião da Costa é um artista mato-grossense com uma criatividade ímpar, construiu seu legado e marcou a sua existência no cenário brasileiro, das artes visuais. Suas onças antropomórficas romperam os parâmetros das artes, ao se destacar nos inúmeros Salões de Arte Brasileira. A onça não era apenas o animal, ela precisava ter algo mais que isso, então ele elaborou aquilo, que o marcou, que o consagrou: a figura antropomórfica, mítica, encantada, provocativa, curiosa, que observa na espreita, um ser descrito pela crítica de arte, Aline Figueiredo “homem-bicho-santo”, cujos cenários transcendem os limites do real, os seres encantados, a celebração da natureza, a ambiência composta pela fauna, flora, a religiosidade, a devoção, a magia, na imensidão da espacialidade do cerrado, fez um artista peculiar. Na pintura em estudo o artista nos apresenta a figura do São Sebastião, repousando no interior da barriga da serpente, que nos remete à lenda do Minhocão do Parí, que habita o universo mítico dos ribeirinhos do Rio Cuiabá. O santo posicionado na parte inferior do quadro, devorado pela serpente, cria uma atmosfera singular, nos remetendo ao processo colonial na América Latina, uma vez que, o artista cria um cenário mítico, jocoso, cercado de religiosidade, onde seu lugar de fala sobrepõe aos ditames judaico-cristãos. Os fluxos de informações, que transitaram na América Latina, numa circulação e encontro de objetos e pessoas com suas práticas culturais distintas, que se cruzam e produzem outras práticas culturais inusitadas, como vemos na pintura de João Sebastião da Costa, a representação decolonial dos seus santos.
Imigrantes italianos no interior de São Paulo (1895-1925): uma história de socialização e adaptação em novos padrões culturais e identitários do Brasil do início do século XX
Authors: Germinatti Fernando Tadeu
Published: October 2020

O presente trabalho se propõe a refletir de forma interdisciplinar a respeito da vinda dos imigrantes italianos ao interior de São Paulo, e nesse propósito, pensar como ajudaram a construir uma nova raça e identidade nacional brasileira. Este texto analisa através de elementos históricos e tenciona compreender os elementos estruturais sócio-políticos que condicionaram e incentivaram os processos imigratórios. Assim sendo, ao considerar os imigrantes como atores sociais que estabelecem práticas culturais em seu espaço praticado e seu envolvimento com outros espaços culturais, parte-se a pensar sobre a profusão de configurações identitárias que se moldam ao tempo e espaço praticado. A metodologia utilizada aproveitou obras e conceitos das diversas áreas do saber, visando um englobamento mais proveitoso para a pesquisa. Assim, tem-se por objetivo trazer a questão imigratória como enfoque central da discussão envolvendo, articulando então a massa imigratória do início do século XX com a configuração e condição econômica, social e cultural.

PATRIMONIALIZAÇÃO DOS ESPAÇOS RELIGIOSOS AFRO-BRASILEIROS: discussões a partir das teorias da sociedade e da cultura
Authors: Santos Walkyria Chagas da Silva
Published: October 2020

O presente texto visa apresentar discussões que entrelaçam o tema patrimonialização dos espaços religiosos afro-brasileiros no Estado da Bahia e teorias da sociedade e da cultura. O autor selecionado como central para elaboração do diálogo é Stuart Hall. Stuart, que no livro “Da diáspora: identidades e mediações culturais” apresenta discussões que são interessantes para abordagem da temática, tais como tradição, diáspora e identidade. Para situar o debate, vale informar que, as políticas culturais são iniciadas no Brasil na década de 30 do século XX, e apenas em 1986 é tombado definitivamente o primeiro monumento negro, o Ilê Axé Iyá Nassô Oká. A intenção não é abordar todas as discussões e todos os conceitos trazidos pelo autor, mas sim utilizá-los como ponto de partida para pensar a diáspora e sua relação com os espaços religiosos afro-brasileiros, a relação que se estabelece entre o órgão estatal responsável pela patrimonialização de bens culturais e o povo de santo, e o jogo de poder que se estabelece nessa relação.

Authors: Saebani Muhammad
Published: October 2020

Dalam era moderen ini di sebuah lembaga pendidikan sangatlah membutuhkan seorang pemimpin yang mempunyai integritas tinggi untuk mengembangkan lembaga pendidikannya, seiring dengan perkembangan zaman. Karena banyaknya upaya yang dilakukan oleh kepala sekolah selama ini dengan mengadopsi pemikiran dan model pendidikan Barat yang dianggap modern dan maju. Akan tetapi, hasil pendidikannya memiliki kelemahan, seperti munculnya perilaku amoral, pemalas, korupsi, hedonis, dan materialistis. Oleh karena itu, salah satu bentuk karakter kepemimpinan yang ideal, yang dapat diterapkan di sebuah lembaga pendidikan adalah kepemimpinan profetik (kenabian). Tulisan artikel ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan bagaimana konsep kepemimpinan profetik dapat diterapkan dalam wilayah manajemen sumberdaya manusia di lembaga pendidikan. Karena kepemimpinan profetik dirasa cocok dan dapat diterapkan di lembaga pendidikan untuk memajukan ummat manusia yang unggul (khairuu ummah) sebagai lulusan (output) dan pewaris generasi bangsa ini. Sehingga akan terus tercipta manusia yang madani (khairu ummah).

The GaN based devices with respect to most parameters exceed the devices based on traditional semiconductor materials. The AlGaN-transistors are the devices, operating in the depletion mode. For most applications it is necessary to implement the operating mode E, when the current in the channel is closed at zero gate voltage. In this paper the novel method namely using the p-GaN layer under the gate has been considered. The plasma-chemical removal of p-GaN layer in the non-gated active region has been chosen as a formation method of this layer. In this case the challenges, namely the non-uniformity in the depth of etching and poor control of the etching rate, arise. To exclude these problems, the heterostructures with additional AlN barrier layer has been developed. The research results of the heterostructure parameters affecting the carrier concentration in the channel, and, respectively, the transistor output characteristics have been presented and the developed design process has been shown. According to it the normally-off transistors have been formed. The maximum drain current in the open state is 350 mA/mm at 4 V gate voltage and the breakdown voltage is about 550 V in closed state at 0 V gate voltage.

The magnetoresistive transducers of magnetic field have been claimed both for direct and indirect applications in various areas of industry, transport and special equipment. In the paper the special features of used terminology and dimensions in the main parameters of magnetic field magnetoresistive transformers have been revealed. The main results of experimental studies on the developed thin-film magnetoresistive nanostructures (TMN) with even and odd transfer characteristics have been presented. The TMN design on an anisotropic magnetoresistive effect has an odd transfer characteristic and conversion coefficient at the level of 8 mV/V/E. The TMN design based on a giant magnetoresistive effect has an even transfer characteristic and a conversion coefficient at the level of 27 mV/V/E. The results of promising design and technological solutions allowing reaching the values of conversion coefficient of TMN at the level exceeding 100 mV/V/E have been shown. The results of the study of the test spin-tunnel magnetoresistive nanostructure (spin-tunnel TMN) with giant magnetoresistive effect, exceeding 100% have been presented. The novelty of the obtained results has been reflected and the perspective of using highly sensitive TMN and creating the non-volatile MRAM on the basis of thin-film magnetoresistive structure with the spin-tunnel magnetoresistive effect have been determined.

The Global Navigation Satellite System has a huge impact on both the public and private sectors, including the social-economic development, it has many applications and is an integral part of many domains. The application of the satellite navigation systems remains the most relevant in the field of transport, including land, air and maritime transport. The GLONASS system consists of three segments and the operation of the entire system depends on functioning of each component, but primarily, the accuracy of measurements depends on the basis forming of the control segment and management, responsible for forming ephemeris-time information. In the work, the influence of ephemeris-time information on the accuracy of solving the navigation problem by the signals of the GLONASS satellite navigation system has been analyzed. The influence of both ephemeris information and the frequency information, and of the time corrections has been individually studied. The accuracy of the ephemeris-time information is especially important when solving the navigation problem by highly precise positioning method. For the analysis the following scenarios of the navigation problem solving have been formed: using high-precision and broadcast ephemeris-time information, a combination of broadcast (high-precision) ephemeris-time information, and high-precision (broadcast) satellite clock offsets and two scenarios with simulation of the calculation of the relative correction to the radio signal carrier frequency. Based on the study results it has been concluded that the contribution of the frequency-time corrections to the error of location determination is of the greatest importance and a huge impact on the error location, while the errors of the ephemeris information are insignificant

Published: October 2020

Fresh produce available in an area is the major source of phytonutrients for healthy life. Decrease in the concentration of phytonutrients is directly linked to a range of health issues in terms of increase in the rate of infections. This study conducted on fresh produce available in Delhi and National Capital Region (NCR) on microbiological and nutritional analysis showed a significant increase in microbial load in fruits as they stay over the period of a week to fortnight at room temperature. A total of seven different types of fresh produce were procured for analysis. Out of them, lemon showed the lowest microbial count and sugar content and grapes showed highest microbial count and sugar content. Results were also compared with refrigerated and room temperature stored fruits. It was concluded that fresh fruits have more nutritive value than stored fruits (room and refrigerated). In this study, glucose content was determined by Fehling's titration and Ascorbic Acid by Dichlorophenolindophenol method. The microbial biota was assessed by serial dilution method for determining microbial load of different types of bacteria. Some of the fruits showed decrease in the nutritive value and correspondingly increase in the load of antibiotic resistant microbes during storage rendering them unfit for human consumption.

Authors: A. Abu-Sinna  , Hassan Saher R.
Published: October 2020

Uncertainty estimation is one of the very delicate tasks in the field of measurements. For the purpose of calibration of Charpy impact testing machines, it is necessary to evaluate and identify the expanded uncertainty. Factors affecting the uncertainty estimations are; the uncertainty of reference force and length measuring devices and its long-term instability (drift), machine resolution, rated energy error, indicated energy error, losses due to the drag of the pointer, friction losses in the bearing and air resistance, and other geometric parameters. In this study, the uncertainty estimation of the Charpy impact machines is based on the direct verification used in the BS DIN ISO 148-2 standard.

Impacts of Economic Structural Change on Economic Growth: Forecasting Models and Policy Implications (A Case Study of Bến Tre Province)
Authors: Đinh Phi Hổ , NGUYỄN KHÁNH DUY
Published: October 2020

During the past ten years, economic growth in Vietnam changed positively in the direction of a modern industrial economy. Accordingly, economic structure also experienced changes in which manufacturing and service sectors accounted for a bigger share in the GDP. The government and most researchers are therefore very interested in economic structural change. This structural change in Vietnam as a whole requires the same change in local economies. However, some provinces did not catch up with the national development yet. Thus, in order to facilitate structural change on the whole economy, it is necessary to clarify what economic structural change aims at, and identify a quantitative model for measuring impact of such change, which becomes a real challenge to Vietnam?s researchers and policy makers. To help solve this problem, the authors conducted a case study in B?n Tre to seek practical evidence. The results, based on regressive model, VAR model and Granger causality test, show that economic structural change impacts on the level of economic growth, labor productivity and the quality of life. This research also lays the foundation for a model for forecasting impacts of economic structural change.

Published: October 2020

Environmental issues are taking more attentions from many countries in the world and have forced proactive companies to adopt environmental policy and encourage supervisory support behaviors in an aim to increase employee willingness to promote eco-initiatives. The study assessed environmental policy and supervisory support behaviors as creating an impetus for environmental actions in companies, leading to environmentally proactive firms sending encourgamental signals to employees. Data of 212 mid- and low- level employees was collected from questionnaire survey at three companies located in Hà Nội and Đà Nẵng City in Vietnam during January 2013. By using likelihood ratio tests and logistic regression analyses, the results supported both two hypotheses: Environmental policies will influence on employee willingness to promote eco-initiatives; Supervisory support behaviors will influence on employee willingness to promote eco-initiatives. From then on, some implications were suggested.

Vietnam and Threshold Conditions in the Process of Global Financial Integration
Authors: Nguyen Thi Ngoc Trang , Nguyen Thi Diem Kieu
Published: October 2020

The global financial crisis, once again, has ignited several intense debates over financial globalization merits, particularly for developing countries. There are probably a number of initial threshold conditions to be attained before substantial benefits may be reaped, and the risks of capital account liberalization, minimized. This article takes into account a series of empirical framework typifying these threshold conditions, estimating essential ones and accordingly proposing a few policy implications. Empirical evidence demonstrates that there exist specific thresholds in such variables with significant effects on the nexus between financial integration and growth, including those as clearly identifiable as financial depth and institutional quality. It is also shown by the findings that Vietnam’s financial development has preliminarily satisfied the necessary conditions for efficient financial integration. In contrast, the institutional quality threshold remains far distant.

Authors: Le Nguyen Hau , Pham Ngoc Tram Anh , Pham Ngoc Thuy , Tran Thi Phuong Thao , Dao Thi Xuan Mai
Published: October 2020

This research aims to explore the role of service encounter behaviors and customers’ participation in the interaction process to co-create value, leading to customer satisfaction. A model is developed and tested in the health care context. Based on the data of 320 paired patient–physician cases, the analysis reveals that physician’s interactions are critical customer-oriented behaviors, which directly affect customer value. More importantly, it plays a key role in activating the customer participation in a service creation. From the customer view, although actively engaging in a service requires more resources, it is worthy because it creates much more value-in-use.

Authors: Cao Dinh Kien , Nguyen Thu Thuy , Ngo Thi Thu Ha
Published: October 2020

In this article we examine the role of potential factors influencing the choice of payment method in takeover transactions of Malaysian acquirers. We document that the financial leverage, the size of acquiring firms, the relative size of the transactions to acquiring firms, and the high technology status of the targets are key determinants to explain the methods of payment in their transactions. Moreover, the acquirers are found to be able to use equity to finance their foreign M&A transactions during the credit constraint periods.

Authors: Tran Hung Son , Nguyen Thanh Liem , Hoang Trung Nghia
Published: October 2020

In this paper we use a dynamic panel data model (system GMM estimator) to analyze bank-specific and macroeconomic determinants of bank risk as measured by the Z-score of 70 listed commercial banks operating in six Southeast Asian countries over the period from 2005 to 2013. Our results indicate that asset structure, capitalization, size, and the stock market development are negatively and significantly related to bank risk, which is, in turn, positively related to efficiency, revenue diversification, and the banking system development.
Exchange Rate Pass-Through in Vietnam under the Impact of Inflationary Environment
Authors: Tran Ngoc Tho , Nguyen Thi Ngoc Trang
Published: October 2020

This article addresses the exchange rate pass-through to domestic prices under the impact of inflation. Using TVAR based approach and the variables of inflation, nominal effective exchange rate (NEER), output gap, and interbank rate in addition to monthly data applied to the period of 2000M1–2014M12, we find a non-linear relation in the pass-through to inflation along with the two thresholds of its. Being above or below the thresholds results in different levels of the exchange rate pass-through, which is consistent with previous findings, with unclear/clear evidence found below/above the threshold of 0.3395%/month respectively. In the case of positive shocks of the exchange rate, the inflation is suggested to enormously rise and then return to equilibrium. We also attempt to clarify several distinct features of Vietnam affecting the pass-through and draw a few implications.
Impact of Stock Market Liquidity on Investment of Listed Enterprises: Evidence from Vietnam
Authors: Tran Ngoc Tho , Dang Nhu Y
Published: October 2020

This paper studies the effects of market liquidity and other factors on investment of non-financial companies listed on Vietnam stock exchange for the 2008–2013 period by adopting different measures of investment and liquidity, and considering the impact of interaction between liquidity and others, including issuing, financial constraints, and growth opportunities, on firm investment. The estimated results of DGMM with fixed effects and interacting variables prove that stock market liquidity negatively relates to the investment. We do not find any compelling evidence of the liquidity–investment nexus among firms with tighter financial constraints and better investment opportunities. However, we do find the relations between firm investment and financial leverage and also firm investment and cash flows.

Novel coronavirus – SARS CoV-2
Authors: Polz-Dacewicz Małgorzata
Published: October 2020

Coronaviruses cause a variety of diseases in mammals and birds. In late December, 2019, patients presenting with viral pneumonia due to an unidentified microbial agent were reported in Wuhan, China. A novel coronavirus was subsequently identified as the causative pathogen, provisionally named 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV). This virus appears to be a new human pathogen. In this article the biology of virus has been described, replication cycle and epidemiology of COVID 19. The next part discusses current methods of laboratory diagnostics. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has focused attention on the need to develop effective therapies against the causative agent, SARS-CoV-2. Researchers are therefore focusing on steps in the CoV replication cycle that may be target to inhibition by broad-spectrum or specific antiviral agents. Many laboratories focus on vaccine development. SARS-CoV-2 vaccines will be essential to reduce morbidity and mortality if the virus establishes itself in the human population.

Published: October 2020

Introduction. The COVID-19 is the name of an infectious disease caused by a new strain of coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2). It was first diagnosed in December 2019 in patients in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China. The symptoms are dominated by features of respiratory tract infections, in some patients with a very severe course leading to respiratory failure and, in ex-treme cases to death. Due to the spread of the infection world-wide, the WHO declared a pandemic in March 2020.
Aim. An investigation of the impact of social isolation in-troduced due to the coronavirus pandemic on selected aspects of life. The researchers focused on observing changes in habits related to physical activity and their connections with people’s subjective well-being and emotional state.
Material and methods. The study was carried out within the international project of the group „IRG on COVID and exercise”. The research tool was a standardized questionnaire.
Results. Based on the data collected and the analysis of the percentage results, it can be observed that the overwhelming majority of people taking up physical activity reported a better mood during the pandemic. However, statistical tests do not confirm these relationships due to the small sample size.Conclusions. Isolation favours physical activity. Future, in-depth studies, by enlarging the population group, are necessary to confirm the above observations

Huge human expansion into the Earth ecosystem results in numerous crises. One of them is a problem of pandemic concerning COVID-19. The dynamics of epidemic development is changing. More and more statistical analyses regarding clinical course of this disease are appearing. Prophylactic actions, specific for each country, are taken aimed at reduction of quantity and intensity of infections in the society in such a way as to make health care systems efficient at the time of pandemic. Great hopes are put in natural defence mechanisms of human body, the effectiveness of which, to a large extent, depends on ourselves. As part of prophylactic actions, heath trainings, that is regular physical exercises together with proper management of rest, nutrition and sleep, can improve physical performance of an organism, strengthen its immuno-logical defence, adapting it to greater burdens. Such a relative load, that impairs functioning of respiratory system and as a consequence limits the ability to obtain energy necessary for independent maintenance of vital functions, may be a clinic course of COVID-19. Development of the Internet and social media considerably facilitates search for those kinds of physical activities that can be performed in the home. That is why, despite the isolation and movement restrictions, everyone can find own way to actively spend free time, which will positively influence his/her organism, and consequently, increase chances in potential encounter with the virus.

La libertad de empresa como derecho fundamental en México
Authors: Anzures Gurría José Juan
Published: October 2020

El reconocimiento jurídico de la empresa en México no es del todo claro. Varias normas contienen el concepto, pero no lo definen, y en la doctrina es abordado por distintas áreas del derecho. Desde el ámbito mercantil, se ha entendido que la empresa es un acto de comercio y desde siempre se le ha tratado como tal. No obstante, la empresa es consecuencia de un acto de libertad individual y en consecuencia debería considerarse como la manifestación de un derecho fundamental, el derecho a la libertad de empresa. La libertad de empresa ha sido reconocida en los textos constitucionales de varios países del mundo occidental, sobre todo después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. No ha sido el caso de México. El reconocimiento expreso de la libertad de empresa en nuestro país redundaría en una fortaleza de la figura de la empresa, del empresario, de la libertad de mercado y, en última instancia, de la democracia misma.
O artigo 10-A da Lei 10.522/2002 e a recuperação judicial de empresas: ineficiência do parcelamento fiscal
Authors: Lana Henrique Avelino
Published: October 2020

Resumo: Busca-se, via Análise Econômica do Direito, identificar, de forma construtiva, sem almejar esgotar o tema, que a atual redação da Lei 11.101/05, no que toca sobre o crédito tributário, contribui para a sua ineficiência. A metodologia a ser utilizada é de método dedutivo, mediante abordagem explicativa e descritiva, com pesquisa jurisprudencial e bibliográfica, nacional e estrangeira, toda ela especializada no cerne do tema. O problema específico a ser levantando é saber se seria possível incluir o crédito tributário no plano de recuperação judicial. Para obter-se uma resposta que seja técnica, prática e acadêmica, inicialmente, será explicado sobre o tratamento especial dado ao crédito tributário na Lei 11.101/05. Após, será mostrado que o poder e privilégio concedido ao Fisco, frise-se, tal como está, nos termos literais da lei, nos processos de recuperação judicial, é ineficiente e, que, as condições de parcelamento que vigoraram por muitos anos também não eram eficientes. No mesmo sentido, serão expostos os motivos que denotam que a legislação atual não cria incentivos positivos ao contribuinte a aderir tal parcelamento. Ao final, como hipótese de resposta, serão também abordados os motivos que fazem com que, em nosso ordenamento seja impossível, legalmente, operacionalmente e constitucionalmente, a inclusão no plano de recuperação dos créditos tributários, haja vista o alto custo de transação.

Jurisprudential and legal study of mediation and its impact on Iran-Saudi Arabia relations
Authors: Jami Fatemeh Esmaeili , Ahmari Hossein , Zahedian Mojtaba
Published: October 2020

Preparing the ground for peace and reconciliation through mediation is a common practice in international law. The Criminal Justice System uses mediation to resolve the conflict between governments and achieve a criminal justice system, which is far from common formalities in criminal and civil arbitration. Given the inefficiency of international courts and lack of guarantee of performance of the penalties imposed by these courts, alternative solutions such as peace and conciliation and mediation have been proposed to resolve international disputes.
In jurisprudential terms, numerous verses and narratives about peace, reconciliation and mediation have been provided and this method of conflict resolution has been fully endorsed by the jurisprudents of the Islamic religions.
The main purpose of this study is to identify the status of mediation in jurisprudential and legal terms as one of the methods of resolving conflicts between governments, whose role in Iran-Saudi Arabia relations will be investigated with respect to the disputes between the two countries, especially in recent years.

O método utilizado foi de revisão bibliográfica e análise de julgados, em especial do Superior Tribunal de Justiça. Além disso, se buscou analisar o contexto histórico sobre as lutas por direitos à mulher, bem como, o conceito de Violência Doméstica e a origem da Lei Maria da Penha – nº 11.340/06, os tipos de violência doméstica por ela elencados, quais sejam: violência Física, violência psicológica, violência sexual, violência patrimonial e violência moral; a relevância da palavra da vítima de violência doméstica psicológica como meio de prova, através de doutrinas e de reiterados entendimentos jurisprudenciais que demonstram a relevância dada ao relato da ofendida como meio eficaz de embasar suas alegações. Como conclusão por ora, se verifica que a palavra da vítima, desde que se mantenha coerente e bem fundamentada, é suficiente para sustentar eventual sentença condenatória contra seu agressor, confirmando a materialidade e autoria delitiva. Em suma, este artigo visa auxiliar na percepção da coletividade, bem como, para conscientizar as vítimas de violência doméstica a procurarem por proteção jurisdicional.
