Taxonomic Revision of the Obligate Plant-Ants of the Genus Crematogaster Lund (Hymenoptera, Formicidae, Myrmicinae), Associated with Macaranga Thouars (Euphorbiaceae) on Borneo and the Malay Peninsula
Authors: Feldhaar Heike , Maschwitz Ulrich , Fiala Brigitte
Published: May 2016

The taxonomy and natural history of ants of the genus Crematogaster Lund, 1831 (Crematogaster borneensis-group of the former subgenus Decacrema) obligately associated with myrmecophytic host-plants of the euphorb genus Macaranga are reviewed. Within this group of ants Crematogaster borneensis André, 1896 (with five subspecies and four varieties), Crematogaster captiosa Forel, 1910 as well as Crematogaster decamera Forel, 1910 have previously been described from SE Asia. Here we synonymise C. borneensis subsp. capax Forel, 1911, C. borneensis subsp. hosei Forel, 1911, C. borneensis subsp. sembilana Forel, 1911, and C. borneensis var. macarangae Viehmeyer, 1916 with C. borneensis André, 1896. Crematogaster borneensis var. harpyia Forel, 1911, C. borneensis var. insulsa Forel, 1911, C. borneensis subsp. symbia Forel, 1911, and C. borneensis subsp. novem Forel, 1911 are synonymised with C. captiosa Forel, 1910. In addition we describe five new species: C. claudiae sp. nov., C. hullettii sp. nov., C. linsenmairi sp. nov., C. maryatii sp. nov., and C. roslihashimi sp. nov.. Seven of these eight species are placed into two informal species subgroups based on queen morphology, life-history characters and a formerly published molecular phylogeny. Keys are provided for the identification of queens and workers, as well as natural history information on the eight ant species. The morphology of these Macaranga-associated Crematogaster (formerly Decacrema) species is compared to the only other three species described for this former subgenus in SE Asia, i.e. C. angulosa André, 1896, C. biformis André, 1892 and C. cephalotes Smith, 1857.
A NOVA MULHER EM UMA NOVA COMUNIDADE: UM RECORTE ENTRE AS COMUNIDADES TRADICIONAIS E AS SOCIEDADES ATUAIS EM MATÉRIA DE GÊNERO
Authors: Fontana Eliane , Moraes da Costa Marli Marlene
Published: May 2016

Esta pesquisa busca demonstrar que a capacidade para uma nova comunidade e uma nova mulher passa pela rejeição de tradições que replicam o velho paradigma da estratificação da mulher. As sociedades atuais seguem perpetuando valores cultur-ais que referendam a desigualdade de gênero tal como nas comu-nidades tradicionais, e que apesar das muitas conquistas - social, política, educacional e jurídica -, ainda não houve sua erradicação. Acredita-se que somente por meio de uma mudança nos valores, ou seja, na cultura de valores, é que haverá o rompimento da visão binária que estratifica as relações sociais. A cultura secular desem-boca em um sistema de sujeições, de dominação e de poder, rep-lica naturalmente as desigualdades e impede que se rompam os ciclos de desigualdade e que se acabe com os números assom-brosos de violência e discriminação. Existe uma nova mentalidade para a construção de uma nova sociedade revigorada? Parece que ainda não, mas existe, sim, uma nova mulher que precisa se ver e praticar hábitos que ampliem a visão de seu papel e do papel da sociedade. Trat5a-se de uma pesquisa exploratória, cujo método de abordagem é o hipotético-dedutivo.
A EFICÁCIA DAS COTAS ELEITORAIS NA ARGENTINA E NO BRASIL
Authors: Aquino de Souza Cristiane
Published: May 2016

A maioria dos países latino-americanos adotou leis que estabelecem cotas eleitorais de gênero na década de 1990 e, mais precisamente, em 1996 e 1997, anos imediatamente posteriores à IV Conferência Mundial sobre a mulher de Pequim (1995), cuja Platafor-ma de Ação busca garantir o acesso igualitário e a plena participação das mulheres nas estruturas de poder e tomada de decisões. Os efei-tos da aplicação das cotas muda significativamente entre os países. A Argentina constitui exemplo de um país onde as cotas contribuíram, notoriamente, para o incremento da participação das mulheres no Parlamento, ao passo que, no Brasil, não tiveram um efeito positivo. Dessa forma, este trabalho pretende analisar o processo de adoção e a eficácia das leis que estabeleceram cotas eleitorais de gênero na Argentina e no Brasil. Busca-se, com isso, compreender os fatores que influenciaram o grau de efetividade dessas leis no sentido de aumentar a representatividade feminina nos Parlamentos.
SECULARIZAÇÃO E AUTONOMIA DO DIREITO EM HOBBES
Authors: Gonzaga de Souza Draiton , Rosenfield Luis
Published: May 2016

O nascimento do positivismo jurídico hobbesiano gerou mudanças paradigmáticas na estrutura do direito – agora seculari-zado e monopolizado pelo Estado –, impondo uma nova estrutu-ra epistemológica do direito e da ciência jurídica. Nesse momento histórico, o direito posto pelo Estado passa a se apresentar como única fonte legislativa, enquanto a normatização religiosa deixa de ter importância. O presente artigo busca analisar de que forma o proc-esso de secularização e trânsito para a modernidade no pensamento de Hobbes influencia os desenvolvimentos posterior no plano do constitucionalismo. Para tanto, são analisadas criticamente as con-tribuições de Hobbes para a evolução do direito constitucional – na perspectiva do reforço da autoridade soberana e da competência normativa do soberano –, no plano do positi-vismo jurídico. A jus-tificação da presente pesquisa se estabelece pela influência decisiva que a teoria hobbesiano ainda possui no que se refere aos princípios fundadores das democracias seculares contemporâneas.
Análise econômicA do regime jurídico-constitucionAl dA empresA no direito brAsileiro
Authors: Goulart Pimenta Eduardo
Published: May 2016

A Constituição Brasileira de 1988 cuidou da regulação jurídica da empresa sob seus dois aspectos fundamentais, que são a sua estrutura econômica e o ambiente no qual ela existe e funciona. No primeiro aspecto, há as normas que disciplinam os fatores de produção que, uma vez organizados, constituem o modo empresarial de atuação. Destacam-se e são analisadas aqui, portanto, as normas constitucionais orientadas à regulação do capital, do trabalho, da matéria-prima e da tecnologia. Já sob o segundo aspecto, há as normas constitucionais que organizam o mercado, ambiente no qual a empresa lança os produtos e serviços por ela gerados. Neste ponto são abordadas as normas constitucionais que estabelecem as bases do livre funcionamento do mercado, como a concorrência e a livre iniciativa. Por outro lado, há que se complementar a análise da empresa e sua regulação na Constituição Federal de 1988 com ponderações sobre a estrutura do risco no exercício da atividade empresarial e as formas jurídicas de limitação deste risco, corporificadas nas modalidades de sociedades empresárias de maior utilização.
TRANSEXUALIDADE NO STJ: DESAFIOS PARA A DESPATOLOGIZAÇÃO À LUZ DO DEBATE BUTLER-FRASER
Authors: Bunchaft Maria Eugenia
Published: May 2016

Este artigo analisa os direitos de transexuais na jurisprudência do Superior Tribunal de Justiça (STJ) à luz do debate Butler-Fraser. O debate Butler-Fraser é fundamental para a compreensão da discussão sobre os direitos fundamentais de transexuais, expressa no julgamento do Recurso Especial n. 1.008.398-SP, elucidando a estratégia argumentativa implícita no voto da Ministra Nancy Andrigui que, embora seja um passo na trajetória da despatologização na jurisprudência brasileira, ainda mantém o binarismo de gênero como uma estrutura teórica de decisão.
INTERPRETAÇÃO DAS FONTES E PLURALISMO JURÍDICO NO DIREITO ISLÂMICO
Authors: Almeida Lage Leonardo , Oliviero Maurizio
Published: May 2016

O artigo aborda o pluralismo jurídico no direito islâmico e suas possíveis implicações para a teoria jurídica. Nesse sentido, apresenta o direito islâmico como ordem jurídica e discute suas fontes, que são o Corão, a tradição do profeta, o consenso dos es-tudiosos e a analogia. Em seguida, expõe o desenvolvimento das escolas arcaicas do rito sunita em quatro escolas do pensamento jurídico que se consolidaram no final do terceiro século da Hégira, mais ou menos no século X da era cristã, e discute a forma como elas se relacionavam entre si, a fim de explicar por que motivo e em que medida faz sentido dizer que o direito islâmico é carac-terizado pelo pluralismo jurídico. Por fim, especula algumas im-plicações teóricas, entre as quais se destacam o reconhecimento das variações locais do direito, o raciocínio tópico como forma conducente ao pluralismo e a necessidade de estudar a interpre-tação jurídica desde uma perspectiva histórica.
Redesigning for Student Success: Cultivating Communities of Practice in a Higher Education Classroom
Authors: Gauthier Launa
Published: May 2016

In this paper, I discuss the process of redesigning and teaching a mandatory, academic skill building course for students on academic probation at Mount Saint Vincent University (MSVU) in Atlantic Canada. The rationale for redesigning the course was to offer an alternative, holistic instructional approach for instructors who were teaching a modular-based curriculum. The original course was designed to focus on improving students’ individual self-efficacy and motivation for academic success; however, the social and relational nature of learning was not articulated as an underpinning theory in the curriculum. In the new curriculum, I draw on both Etienne Wenger’s (1998) notions of communities of practice as sites for learning and Howe and Strauss’ (2000; 2007) work on generational analysis as theoretical frameworks. Furthermore, I incorporate Wenger, McDermott, and Snyder’s (2002) principles for cultivating communities of practice as a way of putting theory into practice. Initial data collection led to the main inquiry question: How could a curriculum, centered on building community in the classroom, help students to cultivate meaningful learning experiences that take learning beyond a “fake it ‘til you make it” mentality? This question guided the curricular design process and also my experiences teaching the course at MSVU during the Fall semester of 2012
Discrepancies between Student Perception and Achievement of Learning Outcomes in a Flipped Classroom
Authors: Van Sickle Jenna R
Published: May 2016

In a college algebra course that used flipped/inverted pedagogy, students achieved learning outcomes at a significantly higher rate, as evidenced by results on the final exam. At the same time, student perception on a number of measures decreased significantly, including how interested students were in the course and whether the instructor effectively facilitated learning. This article will draw on a variety of research to suggest reasons for these discrepancies and possible solutions to help improve student perception in learner-centered instruction.

Epiphyllous Liverworts of India: An Overview
Authors: Singh D K , Singh Devendra
Published: May 2016

Taxonomy of the epiphyllous liverworts in India has been reviewed and their diversity and distribution has been discussed. A total of 160 species, one subspecies and two varieties of epiphyllous liverworts belonging to 23 genera in eight families have been recognized in Indian bryoflora, distributed only in eastern Himalaya and the north-east, Western Ghats, and the Andaman & Nicobar Islands.  Eastern Himalaya, including the north-east, with 133 taxa shows the maximum diversity of epiphylls, whereas Sikkim with 80 taxa is the richest amongst the States. Lejeuneaceae with 131 species belonging to 16 genera is the most prolific family of epiphyllous liverworts accounting for over 80 per cent of their total diversity in India, while Cololejeunea with 54 species is the most dominant genus. Twenty species are endemic to India, of which 11 are restricted to eastern Himalaya, three to Western Ghats, and one to Andaman & Nicobar, while five species are common between eastern Himalaya and the Western Ghats.
Synthesis of TiO2 nanoparticles in the PAMAM hydrogen network template
Authors: Peng Zheng , Li Hong , Ba Xinwu , Zhao Junchai , Sun Xiuguo , Li Yanting
Published: May 2016

Intramolecular nanocavities in polyamidoamine (PAMAM) are usually used as a good template to synthesize nanoparticles. In this paper, TiO2 nanoparticles were prepared successfully by the interspaces of the hydrogen network between PAMAM. The possible mechanism was that PAMAM could form the steady microspheres with many interspaces in ammonia aqueous solution at pH=10. The interspaces of the hydrogen network could act as the template for preparing TiO2 nanoparticles. The results were proved by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD).
Study on application behavior of pyrolysis char from waste tires in silicone rubber composites
Authors: Guangjian Zhang , Jincheng Wang
Published: May 2016

This work deals, in the first part, with the preparation and characterization of a type of pyrolysis char (PC) from waste tires. Best conditions were chosen to obtain the optimal PC with the largest Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area. The structure of PC was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The second part focuses on preparation of novel room-temperature vulcanizated silicone rubber (SR)/PC composites. Properties such as thermal stability, flame-retardance, tensile strength, and elongation at break were researched and compared. Flame-retardance test showed that the vertical burning time and limiting oxygen index (LOI) values of different SR composites were increased. The last part evaluates the reinforcing and flame-retardant mechanisms of PC in SR composites. Polar light microscopy (PLM) and SEM analysis demonstrated that the mixture of PC and ammonium polyphosphate (APP) had better compatibility in SR matrix.
Graev ultrametrics and free products of Polish groups
Authors: Slutsky Konstantin
Published: May 2016

We construct Graev ultrametrics on free products of groups with two-sided
invariant ultrametrics and HNN extensions of such groups. We also introduce a
notion of a free product of general Polish groups and prove, in particular,
that two Polish groups G and H can be embedded into a Polish group
T in such a way that the subgroup of T generated by G and
H is isomorphic to the free product G * H.

From Slow Repetition to Awkward Omission: Economic, Efficient, and Precise Language Use in Bilingual Formal Meetings
Authors: Koskela Merja , Pilke Nina
Published: May 2016

This article explores how linguistic resources from two local languages, Finnish and Swedish, are used in expert presentations in bilingual formal meetings and how they function with respect to the three ideal criteria of professional communication: economy, efficiency, and precision. Based on the results, the article suggests a typology of bilingual action for bilingual formal meetings. While economic language use has to do with the time used for getting something done, efficiency, covers relevant, concise, and focused language use and precision is connected with ways of presenting a full depiction of the issues discussed. The typology suggests six types of bilingual action that interact closely depending on the context. The findings underline the importance of documentation and open discussion of organization-level practices in guiding bilingual action as an intentional and goal-oriented practice in professional contexts. The typology of bilingual action suggested in this article can be used when introducing the practices of bilingual meetings to new participants.
Identifying overlapping language communities: The case of Chiriquí and Panamanian signed languages
Authors: Parks Elizabeth S.
Published: May 2016

In this paper, I use a holographic metaphor to explain the identification of overlapping sign language communities in Panama. By visualizing Panama’s complex signing communities as emitting community “hotspots” through social drama on multiple stages, I employ ethnographic methods to explore overlapping contours of Panama’s sign language communities in both time and space, similar to what a hologram accomplishes. Based on rapid appraisal of Panama’s signed languages through 2 weeks of participant observation, interviews, and lexical comparisons, and contextualization of this data in a broad 5-year project that included fieldwork in 15 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, I propose recognition of overlapping Chiriquí and Panamanian Signing Communities using distinct signed languages: Lengua de Señas Panameñas and Lengua de Señas de Chiriquí.

More on Calendar Effects on Islamic Stock Markets
Authors: Weber Christoph S. , Nickol Philipp
Published: May 2016

There is a long tradition in detecting anomalies of the Efficient Market Hypothesis. Among these are calendar anomalies, first described by French back in 1980. Whilst there is a plethora of studies for well-developed stock markets, there is still a lack of comprehensive studies for some small or emerging financial markets. It is particularly interesting to test not only for calendar effects in the conventional Gregorian calendar but also in other calendars like the Hijri calendar. Thus, the aim of this study is to provide a comprehensive analysis of calendar anomalies on Islamic stock markets. Firstly, we deliver a complete literature review of previous studies dealing with calendar effects on Islamic stock markets showing that there is still a lack of consensus about the effects. Secondly, we analyse whether there are any seasonal patterns in stock markets’ returns by conventional estimation techniques. Thirdly, we study whether those calendar effects are still apparent when we control for volatility clustering. In fact, there is evidence for calendar anomalies on all stock markets. However, those effects are prone to changes when different models or distributions are used. One should, therefore, be careful when interpreting calendar effects on Islamic stock markets. The evidence for theories put forward when analysing Western stock markets is – at best – mild.

We determine efficient designs for choice-based conjoint analysis for the semi-parametric mixed logit model which captures latent consumer heterogeneity in a very flexible way. Different methods constructing one or multiple designs are tested. Additionally we apply Halton draws and determine a minimum potential design for prior draws to reduce computation times caused by accounting for latent heterogeneity of consumers. As main efficiency criteria for the construction of designs we consider measures related to D-error and entropy. As additional benchmarks we generate designs both randomly and by an approach which starts from orthogonal designs developed for linear models. We compare these alternative design procedures by simulating choices for different constellations on the basis of the semi-parametric mixed logit model. Using these simulated choices we estimate parameters of the semi-parametric mixed logit model in the next step. ANOVA with root mean squared error between estimated and true coefficient values as dependent variable shows that performance of design procedures depends on dissimilarity and segment size. Following a mean-standard deviation approach we determine which procedure should be used under different constellations or lack of prior information. Overall, either constructing ten designs based on

Published: May 2016

In this paper, we present a computational method for solving stochastic Volterra–Fredholm
integral equations which is based on the second kind Chebyshev wavelets and their stochastic
operational matrix. Convergence and error analysis of the proposed method are investigated.
Numerical results are compared with the block pulse functions method for
some non-trivial examples.
The obtained results reveal efficiency and reliability of the
proposed wavelet method.
Migrant narratives of dis/emplacement: The alternative spatialization and ethnicization of the local urban floor
Authors: Sabaté-Dalmau Maria
Published: May 2016

From a critical sociolinguistic approach, this paper analyzes the stories of place and locality which emerge during a series of narrative interviews conducted with a small group of Ghanaian migrants who, unsheltered, lived on a bench in a public transport area on the outskirts of a Catalan urban town. By understanding narratives as situated interactional events with which both the researcher and the researched negotiate, shape and co-construct storyworlds, I focus on the social meanings of the stories of geographic (and socioeconomic) dis/emplacement whereby migrants strategically present their spatial orientations in town, which include largely unknown social networking sites. I complement their narrated in-group “safe mooring” spaces and their out-group zones of “mismeeting” with guided co-ethnographic visits to these selected locations. I claim that the imbrication of stories of dis/location with collaborative multi-site ethnography contributes to the study of the migrants’ alternative spatialization and ethnicization of their host societies, and to the discovery of alternative localities which challenge some conceptions about migrants’ (im)mobility practices and identity management in new urban geographies. These may broaden our understandings of how they make sense of their transnational survival experiences in contexts of extreme precariousness, from a dialogical, participant-oriented, reflective perspective.
Common home: our responsibility, our survival
Authors: Araújo Michell Ângelo Marques
Published: May 2016

We have noticed how the reflections raised in the 2016 Ecumenical Fraternity Campaign are appropriate, timely and mobilizing to protect, promote and ensure life, and its theme is – “common home: our responsibility”. Due to the fact that this year has an ecumenical character, the campaign is not limited to the Catholic scope, but includes the Churches that take part in the Brazilian National Council of Christian Churches (as per its Portuguese acronym), thus inviting society to a broader discussion about this issue, with an emphasis on sewage disposal.

Authors: Muryanti Muryanti
Published: May 2016

Labor relations between employers and domestic workers is one of the very old form of relationship that is influenced by cultural and social development of society. The purpose of this study to determine the forms of employment relationships of kinship and formal working relationships and form working relationships between them are preferred by employers in Yogyakarta. The theory used in this study uses the concept of patron-client (Scott, 1985) and patriarchy (Delaney, 2005) to explain the two forms of the employment relationship in the domestic sphere. This research used post-positivist paradigm with mixed methods, quantitative and qualitative (Guba Lincoln, 1997). The results showed kinship relationships occur in household domestic worker, working full time and living in the employer’s home. Formal relationship occurs in the working relationship of domestic workers work part time (fill-in), a special work as pramurukti and/ baby sitter. Generally, employers prefer that is kinship relationship because of the perspective domestic worker are part of the family. In contrast, domestic worker prefer to work part-time, work-specific and do not live in private homes because more wages and freely in the work. Employers and domestic workers have individual rationality in determining the form of employment relationship. In fact, kinship relationships wane and increasing the quantity of formal relations, characterized by the use of part-time domestic worker are increasingly numerous. In essence, kinship relationships and have in common that formal work status and low wages.
Politicised Space and Contentious Youth in Urban Environmentalism in Indonesia
Authors: Alam Meredian
Published: May 2016

The paper concerns a youth environmental movement in Bandung to save the urban forest Babakan Silawangi. It is proposed that space for protest plays a significant role in social movements such as environmentalism. Public assembly allows activists to voice their political objections and make their discontent known to the citizenry. Yet political space is different to physical place. According to Henri Lefebvre, political space is an assemblage of co-creation by individuals who occupy the space and demonstrate their subjective meanings for it in expression and lived experience. Since the subjective/collective meanings perceived and experienced by the activists are powerfully enacted, the space itself may shape their identity and this study explores those meanings, which are relational, contextual, and spatial.

In medical practice, it can not be separated from the mixture of elements of the local culture, external/ foreign as well as modern medical later adopted in order to enhance public interest in their treatment. The purpose of this article is to analyze the practice of acculturation in traditional medicine both related to methods, tools, how to advertise and meaning behind the ways the adoption of other culture into the traditional practice.An intergrative ethnographic study was conducted in Bantul and Sleman, Yogyakarta, on traditional healers such as gurah, bekham, metaphysical/ spiritual, herbal, traditional massage therapy, as well as traditional healers specifically hemorrhoids. Other information was obtained from interviews with their patients.Medical pluralism by wrapping traditional therapy combined with health culture from the outside to attract consumers with a dogmatic way in order to improve the clients made by Javanese traditional healers. They advertise with testimony on local television screen with the aim of introducing methods, tools, disease cure rates, fees, in order made populair so the number of patients increases. Acculturation appears that more and more people believe in business practices and its treatment.
