Authors: Seth Manisha , Kiran Ravi , Goyal D. P.
Published: November 2019

With the advent of globalization and fast changing environment, companies are using information and communication systems in the supply chain. Supply chain management information system (SCMIS) has gained a lot of importance because of its ability to reduce costs and increase responsiveness in the supply chain. Review of literature has revealed that the success in implementation of SCMIS and successfully attaining the return expected from the system implemented is a challenge. With such high failure rates scenario, it becomes imperative to identify the risk and the failure factors that may arise during implementation and the ways to tackle these risks. In this chapter, an attempt has been made to establish the challenges, their severity, and improvisation for the successful implementation of SCMIS in the Indian automobile industry. The findings can help the practitioners and managers better understand the challenges, focus the resources, their attention, set up the priorities, and thus improve the chances of successful implementation of SCMIS.

Authors: Chatterjee Sheshadri
Published: November 2019

Development of cities brings in overall economic growth of the country. As a result, cities are taking new shape with modern facilities to ensure development. In this perspective, Government of India (GOI) has announced to create 100 Smart Cities across different locations in India. In these Smart Cities, modern infrastructure would be created with introduction of modern 5G network systems. This network system is expected to bring in considerable improvements in the Smart Cities if the security and privacy issues involved in this system can be addressed. This chapter has taken an attempt to identify the critical success factors (CSFs) instrumental to improve this network system within the acceptable level of security and privacy vulnerabilities in Smart Cities of India. To identify the CSFs, different standard methods including questionnaire-oriented survey, brainstorming have been adopted. Interpretive structural modelling (ISM) methodology has been used to find out inter-relationships among the CSFs along with identification of driving forces.

Published: November 2019

Millennial consumer behaviors approach purchasing or shopping things differently when compared to what earlier generations encountered. Each generational cohort shares a common technological, social, political, historical, and economic environment that shapes and distinguishes them from one another and the millennial generation is using social media as a shopping platform. Technology advancement has become far more user-friendly during millennials' lifetimes, as they are attached to the social media given that it has become a platform that is utilized to communicate and shop. The aim of the study is to look at the characteristics of consumers' behaviors as it has a huge impact on the development of new business strategies. This article provides an analytical framework of millennial consumers' behaviors based on previous studies along with data collected from a focus group discussion. The study finds that millennials are more confident compared to earlier generations, more willing to be experimented on and willing to experiment, and are fashionable trend-wise. In terms of technology adoption, millennials have adopted technology as a way of life which makes full use of its functions ranging from communication to entertainment and optimized social media presence is essential for brands that are targeting millennials.
Discriminant Analysis and Naïve Bayes Classifier-Based Biometric Identification Using Finger Veins
Authors: Qayoom Insha , Naaz Sameena
Published: November 2019

Finger vein identification is a dominating method of biometric technology used for authentication in a highly secure environment. Vein patterns are unique for each individual and it is underneath skin so there is less chance for forgery. In the current research work, finger vein features are extracted and verified for the purpose of authentication. The first step in this work is to pre-process the image obtained from the database. In order to get the region of interest (ROI) the threshold value is calculated using a standard deviation method followed by morphology-based functions available in the MATLAB software. After pre -processing a Gabor filter, fast filter, and freak descriptors are used. The features calculated at the freak descriptor processing are trained on classifiers namely discriminant and Naïve Bayes. The features trained to the classifiers are then fed again into the classifiers and cross verified to update the results of accuracy. The accuracy calculated using discriminant analysis is 94.46% and by using Naïve Bayes is 98.38%.
An Efficient Motion Vector Recovery and Reconstruction Method for Spatiotemporal Video Error Concealment
Authors: Ahmed Ansari Vaqar , Khot Uday Pandit
Published: November 2019

In this article, an efficient spatiotemporal video error concealment (EC) based on motion vector (MV) recovery and a pixel reconstruction (PR) method is proposed. The pixel-based motion vector with partition (PMVP) is modified by using Mahalanobis distance (MD) rather than Euclidean distance (ED) for recovering MVs, as MD uses standard deviation and covariance of available pixels. Further, the MD gives more accuracy for non-square cluster compared to ED. This modified pixel-based motion vector with partition (MPMVP) algorithm is further upgrade by two different strategies. First, by using voting priority of available MVs based on the probabilities of similar directions. Second, by considering separate horizontal and vertical directions of available MVs in voting priority. For pixel reconstruction, modified spiral pixel reconstruction (MSPR) algorithm based on directional edge recovery method using minimum and maximum Mahalanobis distance from available pixels of surrounding MBs is proposed. Mahalanobis distance approach is most optimized similarity measure technique compared to other distance measurement approach to obtained lost motion vectors. These proposed EC techniques are compared with existing EC techniques like, SPR EC using ED, PMVP based EC with ED, and MV Interpolation by Zhou's method for various packet loss rates (PLRs) as 3%, 7%, 16%, 20% and quantization parameters (QPs) as 20, 24, 28, 32, 36. For total average in PLR of 3%, 7%, 16% and 20%, MSPR is having better PSNR compared to PMVP by 2.516, 2.29, 2.06 and 2.02 dB, respectively; and compared to SPR by 0.796, 0.718, 0.643 and 0.631 dB, respectively.
A Singular Value Decomposition Based Upgraded DV-Hop Localization Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks
Authors: Jain Aarti
Published: November 2019

Finding the location of unknown nodes using a computationally inexpensive range-free localization method is one of the most popular research areas in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). DV-hop localization is one of the most popular and localization methods in WSNs. In this article, the authors propose an upgraded DV-Hop based localization method that provides better location accuracy along with minimal computational complexity. In the proposed method, the second step of DV-Hop algorithm is modified by improving the effective average hop size and the third step of DV-Hop is modified to enhance the localization accuracy by minimizing the ranging errors. The said minimization of ranging errors has been achieved by using singular value decomposition-based estimation method. The authors have compared the upgraded DV-Hop localization method with original DV-Hop localization method as well as with improved versions of DV-Hop localization method. The simulation results show that the proposed method has less computational complexity and high location accuracy than the compared methods.
Large-Scale Ontology Alignment- An Extraction Based Method to Support Information System Interoperability
Authors: Zerhouni Mourad , Benslimane Sidi Mohamed
Published: November 2019

Ontology alignment is an important way of establishing interoperability between Semantic Web applications that use different but related ontologies. Ontology alignment is the process of identifying semantically equivalent entities from multiple ontologies. This is not always obvious because technical constraints such as data volume and execution time are determining factors in the choice of an alignment algorithm. Nowadays, partitioning and modularization are two main strategies for breaking down large ontologies into blocks or ontology modules respectively to align ontologies. This article proposes ONTEM as an effective alignment method for large-scale ontology based on the ontology entities extraction. This article conducts a comprehensive evaluation using the datasets of the OAEI 2018 campaign. The obtained results are promising, and they revealed that ONTEM is one of the most effective systems.
The (non-)translatability of the Holy Trinity
Authors: Müller Retief
Published: November 2019

This article considers the ambiguous translatability of the Christian doctrine of the Holy Trinity. The theme of the Trinity, as a central Christian doctrine, is brought into conversation with the so-called ‘translatability thesis’ regarding Christian history, which has been particularly expounded upon by Lamin Sanneh and Andrew Walls. Does the translatability of the gospel also imply the translatability of the Trinity, or is the equation not that straightforward? In answering this question, specific reference is made to early church formulation and controversy surrounding the theme, as well as attention to specific attempts at translation or interpretation in the modern and contemporary forms of Christianity. The article acknowledges the problematic nature of Trinitarian translatability and concludes that such translatability is nonetheless possible as long as a static conception of Trinitarian doctrine could be avoided.

Rates and predictors of adherence and retention for antiretroviral therapy among HIV-positive adults in Enugu, Nigeria
Authors: Chime Onyinye Hope
Published: November 2019

BackgroundHIV infection and AIDS are majorpublic health challenges in Nigeria, a country with one of the highest rates of new infection in sub-Saharan Africa and the second largest HIV epidemic in the world.Non-adherence to medication and defaulting from treatment are the two major challenges faced by anti-retroviral therapy (ART) programs in resource-constrained settings. This study was undertaken to determine the rate and predictors of adherence to medication and retention among people living with HIVin Enugu State, Nigeria.MethodsThis was a cross-sectionalretrospective study conducted among adults living with HIV(PLHIV) receiving ARTs in eightcomprehensive health facilities in Enugu, Nigeria. We used self-reported adherence and recorded clinic visits to assess adherence and retention, respectively. Descriptive statistics (frequencies, proportions, mean and standard deviation) and regression analysis were then conducted to identify the association between adherence, retention and demographic and health-related factors. ResultsThe mean age of respondents was 38.5±9.8 years. Predictors of good adherence to medication includedbeing male(adjusted odds ratio [AOR]:2.08; 95% confidence interval [CI]:1.12–3.85), having been on anti-retroviral medications for more than 5 years (AOR:1.92; 95% CI: 1.17–3.16), the non-consumption of alcohol(AOR: 3.67; 95% CI: 2.01–6.70),not usingtraditional medicine (AOR: 2.76; 95% CI:1.33–5.73) and having a baseline CD4count exceeding 500 cells/μl (AOR: 5.67; 95% CI: 1.32–24.32).Adequate retention was predicted by being resident in the urban area (AOR: 1.90; 95% CI: 1.17–3.06). Being away from home (41.8%) and forgetfulness (35.0%) were reported as the major reasons for missing medication.ConclusionThe rates of adherence and retention found in this study were similar to those reported forother resource-limited settings. Health education and behavioural modification interventions should be intensified to reduce the consumption of alcohol and the use of traditional medicine by people living with HIV. Identifying other factors may help to design effective strategies to ensure that people living with HIV adhere to their medications and remain in care.

El dibujo, la emoción del proyecto
Authors: Pla i Masmiquel Arcadi
Published: November 2019

En la Historia de la representación gràfica aplicada a la construcción, el dibujo aparece como el mecanismo intelectual por el que el creador o proyectista puede imaginar los espacios y los sistemas constructivos de lo que, con posterioridad, acabará  constituyendo una obra ejecutada en su dimesión real. La técnica del dibujo ha permitido a lo largo de los siglos una definición progresivamente más precisa de las estrategias y tecnologías de la construcción, así como en cada momento ha reflejado la sensibilidad, la capacidad tecnológica, la economía y el estilo de la época. Por lo tanto, desde los trazados clásicos, pasando por la documentación de los esquemas constructivos, especialmente desde la época gótica, podemos reconocer en los dibujos la creatividad y habilidad de los constructores de espacios e infraestructuras.
Lo concreto, lo genérico y lo abstracto: las tres frases del lenguaje gráfico
Authors: Marcos Carlos L.
Published: November 2019

El  hecho de que las palabras estén forjadas a partir de conceptos universales dificulta al lenguaje textual una relación precisa con la realidad material, en la medida que ésta es necesariamente particular y concreta. Por el contrario, el lenguaje gráfico se presta extraordinariamente bien a representar la realidad, a describirla con la mayor precisión dada su enorme capacidad de síntesis; funciona muy bien como verbalización de lo material. Tal vez por ello, en el proyecto de arquitectura, como documento legal que es, en el caso de discrepancia entre lo grafiado y lo descrito en la memoria o en las leyendas, prevalece lo primero. Así, somos capaces de figurar la realidad con gran exactitud y nivel de detalle gracias al dibujo precisamente porque la línea define de manera extraordinariamente sintética la proyección de formas geométricas sencillas –hasta hace muy poco casi la totalidad de las formas arquitectónicas-.
Sensaciones geometría y producto
Authors: Espinach Orus Xavier , Julián Pérez Fernando , Alcalá Vilavella Manuel
Published: November 2019

Los aspectos estéticos y de diseño de producto son cada vez más importantes en la toma de decisiones de compra por parte del mercado. El conocimiento de la relación entre el carácter del producto y la geometría forma parte del conocimiento tácito de los diseñadores y estilistas, y se ha generado a partir de su experiencia y cultura. Este hecho imposibilita su uso en programas de CAD. La investigación estudia la posibilidad de convertir dicho conocimiento en explicito y de esta forma abrir las puertas a la generación de herramientas de diseño que trabajen con las sensaciones de producto en substitución de la geometría de apoyo.

Este artículo pretende divulgar parte de la investigación realizada en mi tesis doctoral «Estudio de los elementos arquitectónicos que conforman el cauce del río Turia, entre el puente de San José y el puente del Mar de Valencia. Siglos XVI-XXI. Historiografía, análisis gráfico y catalogación» (septiembre 2011), en la cual se plantea como objetivo fundamental el conocimiento profundo de un elemento arquitectónico, a través del estudio previo de las diferentes fuentes documentales disponibles, tanto gráficas como escritas, en base a las cuales elaborar una serie infografías como instrumento para facilitar la comprensión de la evolución del elemento arquitectónico.

Procesando la información obtenida es posible llevar a cabo la restitución virtual del elemento arquitectónico, no sólo de su estado actual sino también en sus diferentes etapas a lo largo de la historia. Por lo tanto, la restitución virtual se plantea como una herramienta no sólo divulgativa, sino también como cauce para su puesta en valor e instrumento imprescindible en el que basar una correcta restauración.

Published: November 2019

La Catedral de Santa Maria de Cuenca es uno de los edificios más emblemáticos la ciudad, declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco en 1996. Las múltiples alteraciones que el edificio ha sufrido a lo largo de los siglos dificultan mucho su comprensión.

En este trabajo se constatan estas modificaciones mediante el estudio de una bóveda cuatripartita de crucería, donde se mezclan el estilo gótico con el renacentista.

Para ello mediante un levantamiento planimétrico y despiece de la basa de sus pilares, de sus arcos apuntados, perpianos y cruceros, de su clave e incluso de la plementería se ha podido entender la estereotomía de la bóveda a partir de la modelización en 3D de dicha bóveda construida integramente en piedra.
Five things I’m demanding BIM, a professional and educational thought
Authors: Valverde Cantero David , Garrido Martínez Antonio
Published: November 2019

La forma en que se generaba documentación gráfica para la construcción de edificios no volvió a ser la misma desde la introducción del CAD -Computer Aided Design /Diseño Asistido por Ordenador hace más de tres décadas. Ahora, con la inminente/inexcusable implementación del BIM -Building Information Modeling / Modelado de Información de la Construcción-, el cambio resulta más radical si cabe.

Ya no solo cambiara la forma en que generamos esa documentación, también afectara a la forma en que diseñamos, construimos y usamos los edificios. No es solo una nueva herramienta, es una nueva forma de trabajar y, por lo tanto, demanda adecuar nuestras metodologías tanto profesionales como docentes. Pero que haya que adaptarse, con el ingente esfuerzo que conlleva, no significa que estas nuevas herramientas/metodologías sean perfectas.

Abordar esta adaptación minimizando dichos esfuerzos desde un punto de vista profesional, como redactores y directores de proyectos técnicos de edificación, y como docentes es el principal objetivo de esta comunicación.

La tecnología BIM está aún lejos de una adopción generalizada en nuestro campo profesional en el que aparecen muchas reticencias y, en muchos casos, representa un enorme esfuerzo con inciertos/ínfimos beneficios reales. En el campo docente el panorama es más esperanzador, la integración del BIM en todos los niveles educativos empieza a ser una realidad palpable que evoluciona y se perfecciona a la par que las herramientas.

Published: November 2019

Este texto tem por objetivo apresentar uma análise da adaptação Alice no País das Maravilhas em Cordel, escrita por Gomes de Sá e ilustrada por Marcos Garuti (2010), visando detectar, a partir do aporte teórico da Estética da Recepção (JAUSS, 1994; ISER, 1999 e 1996), se a obra mantém a comunicabilidade com seu leitor implícito, levando-o à reflexão crítica, por meio do rompimento de seus conceitos prévios e da ampliação de seus horizontes de expectativas. Para tanto, opta-se por uma análise comparativa entre essa obra e Aventuras de Alice no País das Maravilhas, de Lewis Carroll (2013), partindo-se do pressuposto, em consonância com Massaud Moisés (2005), de que essa possibilidade de leitura é possível em relação à temática da individuação e à abordagem pelo viés do fantástico. Nessa análise, buscam-se afinidades, homologias entre as duas poéticas — romance e literatura de folheto — manifestas em produção literária.
POESIA E FRONTEIRA

Published: November 2019

Este artigo visa a discutir, a partir de um viés sociológico, as obras poéticas Noite nu norte (2011) e Viento de Nadie (2013), escritas em portunhol, do poeta uruguaio Fabián Severo. Estas obras revelam a fronteira entre as cidades de Quaraí (Brasil, RS) e Artigas (Uruguai). Para analisar o trabalho com a linguagem presente nestas obras, tomamos como referencial norteador as discussões sobre a proposta sociológica para a análise poética de Volochínov (2013). Pudemos perceber com a análise dos poemas que estes retratam muito além das possibilidades gramaticais de uma dada língua. Foi possível observar que a língua, para o poeta, é completamente permeada por entonações vivas, avaliativas e por orientações sociais, com as quais ele luta no seu processo de criação estética. A partir dessas perspectivas, ele escolhe esta ou aquela forma linguística, esta ou aquela expressão, fazendo interagir língua e fronteira no diálogo entre vida, cotidiano e arte.

Published: November 2019

Tendo em vista a redescoberta de escritoras perdidas ou negligenciadas pelo cânone, que é um dos objetivos da ginocrítica, uma vertente da teoria feminista anglo-americana, este artigo pretende apresentar ao leitor a autora inglesa Jean Ingelow através da biografia dela escrita por sua irmã, Eliza Straffen. Some Recollections of Jean Ingelow and her Early Friends (1901) é discutido neste texto a partir da representação da mulher no vitorianismo e de questões relativas ao gênero biografia. Portanto, este trabalho não recupera diretamente a produção de uma escritora silenciada pelo cânone ainda hoje bastante monolítico, mas sua própria história, caracterizada na biografia supracitada como passiva, dotada de moralismo e reticência.

Desde a sua fundação em 1850, o Almanaque de Lembranças assumiu como seus principais objetivos a formação de um amplo público-leitor, a divulgação da obra de escritores canônicos e a orientação de novas vocações literárias. Interessando-se portanto pela produção de escritoras brasileiras, não se eximiu do comentário dos seus textos. Este artigo visa a demonstrar que é numerosa a publicação de escritos de autoria feminina provenientes do Brasil e que, ao contrário, é muito escassa a fortuna crítica dessas escritoras exarada em textos que se enquadram em subgêneros típicos do século XIX, tais como o comentário biobibliográfico e a crítica de belezas (e defeitos).
IMPRENSA PERIÓDICA LITERÁRIA E ESCRITA FEMININA
Authors: Das Neves Alves Francisco
Published: November 2019

O século XIX, em termos sociais, foi marcado pela continuidade das relações patriarcais e da submissão feminina. Essa predominância masculina passou a ser progressivamente contestada, e a escrita feminina constitui um dos mais importantes agentes na propagação deste espírito reivindicatório. Houve a necessidade de resistir e perseverar, com o enfrentamento dos preconceitos e do conservadorismo. Antepondo-se a toda sorte de dificuldades, mulheres escritoras atuaram nos mais diversos lugares do mundo e, no Brasil, se espalharam pelas suas várias regiões, inclusive no extremo-sul. Este trabalho visa a estudar duas destas “mulheres de letras” do Rio Grande do Sul, Julieta de Melo Monteiro e Revocata Heloísa de Melo, que por décadas lutaram através da imprensa, promovendo a causa da igualdade e dos direitos femininos.

Construction of Competitive Advantage Instrument in Jordanian SME Context Using Structural Equation Modelling
Authors: Alzeaideen Khaled
Published: November 2019

Jordanian SMEs are becoming increasingly hard to endure and thrive in the aggressive entrepreneurial world economy due to weak capital structure, poor leadership and weak marketing strategy, as well as other legislative limitations. As a consequence, Jordan faces problems in achieving full advantage from the SME industry as well, making an inadequate contribution to the domestic GDP. Competitive advantage (CA) can, however, perform a crucial part in achieving fast economic development due to sustainability of SMEs and a coherent appropriate input to Jordan's GDP. But the construction of CA is still underdeveloped and ignores a unifying hypothesis, resulting in fragmented study attempts. In addition, there are now several frameworks for the evaluation and benchmarking of firm performance (FP), but none of these frameworks provide an approach for assessing the competitive advantage of the firm. Therefore, this study aims to explore and determine the dimensionality of items measuring CA construct. The issue has previously been discussed, but there is still no prevalent agreement between scholars as the number of dimensions and items to assess CA should be used. This research investigated the CA measurement items created by past researchers and tailored these items to accommodate the environment of SMEs in Jordan. In this regard, the Delphi technique has been combined by the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and also followed the steps of instrument creation developed by Churchill (1979). The primary objective of this research is to develop an instrument capable of assessing CA in Jordanian SME sector. The tool developed in this research provides a relevant and efficient tool that disclosed three aspects by satisfying all the socio-metric properties required by the measuring tool in the social science, namely dimensionality, reliability, and validity.

Facing the current gaps with regard to the momentum effect in Chinese securities market, a momentum strategy was constructed to compare the securities market price under the effective market theory with under the non-effective market theory by the Hushen 300 index from 2006 to 2015 and a stock price residual measurement model. An important result was that the root cause of the momentum effect was systematic irrational behavior. On this basis, a new momentum strategy was constructed based on RSP (Residual of Stock Price), and the performance of that strategy was tested in different ranking and holding periods. The new momentum strategies were obtained positive average cumulative abnormal returns in the super short-term, short term and medium term. This finding confirmed the significant existence of the momentum effect in China’s stock market and the validity of the RSP momentum strategy. Therefore, this finding can be contributed to effectively addressed the current gaps and examine the applicability of classic asset pricing theory and behavioral finance theory in China's stock market. Finally, after considering the transaction costs, the momentum strategy is effective in both theory and practice.

Upon carrying out logging, residues remain in the cutting area. Logging residues are an additional source of wood raw material for the production of fuel chips to be used in bioenergetics. In order to plan the logging residues collection and processing technology, it is necessary to gather information on the amount of this type of waste and its distribution within the cutting area.The article deals with the line intersect (LIS) method.The aim of this article was to assess the accuracy of the LIS method for quantifying logging residues after cut-to-length logging (CTL), uniformly distributed within the technology traffic lanes (strips) of width b on the cutting area of arbitrary shape S.The studies were conducted using computer simulations. In the models, logging residues are represented as clusters in the form of circles. The laws of distribution of the radius of the clusters and their position in the plot were determined by field measurements.In the simulations, clusters uniformly distributed along the X-axis and stripes on the Y-axis were considered. The samples of lines were the set of lines of different length and mutually perpendicular and parallel to the coordinate axes X, Y.In the simulations, four types of stripes were considered with a different angle to the Y-axis. Type 1 – angle = 0°, type 2 – angle = 15°, type 3 angle = 30°, type 4 – angle = 45°.It was determined through simulation that the estimated mean radius of the clusters is greater by 24% than the true mean radius.The LIS method formula is appropriate for estimating the amount of forest residues after CTL logging provided the true mean radius is taken. According to the results of simulation experiments, it was found that the results are in good agreement with the theoretical formulas if the location of the sample lines is mutually perpendicular and parallel to the coordinate axes X, Y of the area. Differences remain within the limits of 20% error.
Assessment of Costs in Harvesting Systems Using WoodChainManager Web-based Tool
Authors: Triplat Matevž , Krajnc Nike
Published: November 2019

The rationalization of working procedures during difficult market conditions is gaining increasing importance. For rational production, it is necessary to always be aware of what and how much to invest in the business process to obtain the desired products or services without economic loss. This article presents a tool for the assessment of costs in forest wood supply chains. WoodChainManager is a Web-based tool composed of three user modules intended for the assessment of material costs of individual machines or the total costs of all selected machines in a forest harvesting system. Users can test the impact of individual technologies on the total material costs of the harvesting system and thus optimize operation processes. The basic tool for describing harvesting systems is the matrix, which visualizes cutting and hauling from the standing tree in the stand to the forest products at the end user. The tool has built-in algorithms that prevent the selection of an illogical harvesting system. The selected method for calculating costs for individual machines is simple, but still reflects the state of the actually incurred costs. WoodChainManager offers cost calculations for a wide range of technologies, machines and appurtenant attachments. The authors of this paper wish to increase awareness and understanding of cost calculations and to offer the possibility to directly compare different harvesting systems.
Improving Economic Management Decisions in Forestry with the SorSim Assortment Model

Published: November 2019

The sustainable supply of timber is one of the most important forest ecosystem services and a decisive factor determining the long-term profitability of forest enterprises. If timber production is to be economically viable, there must always be a way to analyse forest stands and trees felled for exploitation with regard to the wood assortments they contain. Only then can the expected timber yields, achieved by various silvicultural strategies or actions and different sorting options, be quantified with sufficient accuracy. The SorSim assortment simulator was developed for forest practitioners and forest scientists in Switzerland to realistically simulate the sorting of individual trees and entire forest stands based on defined specifications. SorSim has a simple user interface and comes in a number of different language versions (G, E, F). The software is implemented in Java, making it platform-independent. It can be downloaded for free at (https://www.wsl.ch/en/projects/sortimentsimulator-sorsim.html). This article provides an overview of how the simulator works and demonstrates its potential applications based on a practical and a scientific example. A particular practical advantage is that the composition of the assortments of the planned harvests can be estimated according to quantity and value. When used in strategic planning and especially in research, SorSim provides a basis for analysing either long-term developments in yields from forest stands or silvicultural treatment methods. Based on an even-aged and a selection forest stand, the scientific example shows how strongly the assessment of the advantageousness of two different silvicultural strategies depends on the time when the calculation was made (using historical and current assortment revenues and timber harvesting costs). In particular, the combination of SorSim with timber harvest productivity models enables differentiated forest economic insights. Various approaches for value-based optimisation in the sorting of individual trees and for the optimal allocation of harvesting activities to defined customer demands are currently being examined as further SorSim developments.
Descent, Culture, and Self-Determination: States and the Definition of Indigenous Peoples
Authors: De Costa Ravi
Published: November 2019

Canada’s concept of “status” – the definition of who is an Aboriginal person under the Indian Act – has its analogies in the administrative practices of many countries. However, the European colonial expansion produced great variety, with contemporary states now relying on multiple categories of definition; descent from an enrolled historical population is often arbitrarily combined with particular cultural or demographic attributes. Effective activism has, in recent decades, pushed states towards policies of Indigenous self-definition. However, this remains constrained and uneven. While the initial goal here is a critical survey of definitions of Indigenous status in the “settler states” of Australia, New Zealand/Aotearoa and the US, the paper examines practices in Latin America, Scandinavia and Russia as well as Asia and Africa. It concludes with a discussion about ongoing challenges for state practices of definition, including the implications of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

First Nations children in Canada often experience poorer housing conditions than other Canadian children. This study used the 2006 Aboriginal Children’s Survey to examine the relationship between housing and physical and mental health for First Nations preschool-aged children living off-reserve. This study provides evidence that the physical, spatial, and psychological aspects of housing in which young off-reserve First Nations children live are associated with their physical and mental health, even after controlling for family socioeconomic factors, area of residence, and child’s age and sex (analyzed with regression models). In particular, homeownership, parental satisfaction with housing, and number of moves per year were all associated with multiple physical and mental health outcomes. Future research is needed to further investigate the mechanisms at play.
Camões ficou gauche: as máquinas e os mundos
Authors: Oliveira Moraes Otávio Augusto
Published: November 2019

O artigo tem como proposta elaborar uma reflexão frente ao poema Máquina do Mundo de Carlos Drummond de Andrade sob a ótica da inter-relação entre está escrita e os Lusíadas de Luís de Camões. O texto centra sua análise na figuração que o conceito máquina do mundo toma em cada uma das obras postas em questão. A hipótese se desenvolve sobre a premissa de que o poeta mineiro constitui uma poética que, reflexivamente, dialoga com a épica lusa a partir do deslocamento deste tema para o plano da lírica moderna. O movimento põe em deslocamento certo otimismo renascentista dando à máquina a representação de uma impossibilidade harmônica entre individuo e a materialidade que o rodeia.
