Authors: Almeida Bernardo Faria de , Lopes Silveira Renato , Lopes Loureiro Elaine Maria , Fernandes de Arruda Edilson
Published: April 2018

ABSTRACT. This article discusses the importance of the favorability evaluation, proposed in data-driven mineral potential maps (MPM), for decision-making in exploratory activities of petroleum and natural gas. We consider geophysical and geological information as evidences that define the essential elements of a petroleum system. We assess such evidences by means of weights of evidence methodology, which makes use of data coming from hydrocarbon discovering wells. We apply the proposed assessment in a case study in Sergipe-Alagoas and employ the results to classify areas of interest in different favorability levels. Keywords: petroleum systems, favorability maps, mineral potential maps, Sergipe-Alagoas basin. RESUMO. Este artigo discute a importância da avaliação de favorabilidades propostas em mapas de potencial mineral, baseados em dados (data-driven), para as tomadas de decisões em atividades exploratórias de petróleo e gás natural. Nós consideramos as informações geológicas e geofísicas como evidências que definem os elementos essenciais de um sistema petrolífero. Avaliamos as evidências através da metodologia de pesos de evidências (weights of evidence), a qual faz uso de dados obtidos a partir de poços descobridores de hidrocarbonetos. Aplicamos a avaliação proposta em um estudo de caso na bacia de Sergipe-Alagoas e empregamos os resultados obtidos para classificar a área de interesse em diferentes níveis de favorabilidade. Palavras-chave: sistemas petrolíferos, mapas de favorabilidade, mapas de potencial mineral, bacia de Sergipe-Alagoas.
CONSIDERATIONS ON THE APPLICATION OF THE MAGNETOTELLURIC METHOD WITH NUMERIC MODELING FOR EXPLORATION OF BASINS CONTAINING MAFIC SILLS: THE EXAMPLE OF THE SOLIMÕES UPPER AMAZON BASIN
Authors: Silva Lúcia Maria da Costa e , Miguel Sobrinho Marcos Kaíre
Published: April 2018

ABSTRACT. The use of the magnetotelluric method (MT) in Brazil has been predominantly focused on understanding large geological structures. In the 80’s the method began to be used in petroleum exploration. Early results have been considered unsatisfactory. We modeled the MT response for the geology of the Solimões Upper Amazon Basin, one of the first basins where MT work was done in Brazil, where basalts sills are common, and showed its difference in comparison with the seismic section. The synthetic seismic sect obtained for the Solimões Basin allows observation of the shallow diabase sill only. However, for MT, the presence of the sill, especially if it is slightly magnetic, increases the depth of investigation possible, or allows the MT method at the very least to investigate the basement better than is possible with the seismic method.Keywords: magnetotelluric, MT, Solimões Basin, diabase sill, modeling, a priori information. RESUMO. O uso do método magnetotelúrico (MT) no Brasil tem sido predominantemente focado na compreensão de grandes estruturas geológicas. Nos anos 80, o método começou a ser usado na exploração de petróleo. Os primeiros resultados foram considerados insatisfatórios. Modelamos a resposta MT para a geologia da Bacia do Solimões, uma das primeiras bacias onde foi realizado levantamento MT no Brasil, onde soleiras de diabásio são comuns, para comparação com a seção sísmica modelada para o mesmo local. A seção sísmica sintética obtida para a Bacia do Solimões permite a observação apenas da soleira de diabásio mais rasa. Entretanto, para o MT, a presença da soleira, especialmente se ela é ligeiramente magnética, aumenta a profundidade de investigação possível, ou ao menos permite que o método MT investigue o embasamento melhor do que é possível com a secção sísmica.Palavras-chave: magnetotelúrico, MT, Bacia do Solimões, soleira de diabásio, modelagem, informação a priori.
A Case for A Dogme "Lite" EFL Teaching Approach in Kurdistan
Authors: Rion Nicholas , Kakamad Karwan Kakabra , Fatah Abdulfatah Hasan
Published: April 2018

This critical review looks at the present state of ESL/EFL activities in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, with particular attention to the English speaking abilities of students enrolled in English Medium Instruction (EMI) courses in the region's 13 universities, and calls for the consideration of "Dogme" types of communicative language curricula. The critique, based in large part of a recent survey by the British Council, clearly shows that most college freshmen entering EMI classrooms are not adequately prepared to meet the challenges and rigor of studying in the English language. As a consequence, the paper offers a background about the theories and ideas of an alternative communicative language pedagogy known as Dogme. The critique reviews the ideas of Dogme founder Scott Thornbury and provides both a rationale and four-point plan about how a "Dogme Lite" type of curriculum may be introduced into the present English language curriculums used in public schools in the region.

In this article, a retrospective analysis of the theory of cyclicity is carried out and approaches to the study of cycles and crises are systematized. The scientists’ observations regarding the identification of the global crisis of 2008-2009 as global are revealed and summarized. It is noted that the latest crisis of 2008-2009 was a consequence of the accumulation of both traditional problems of economic cyclicality and new emerging paradigmatic changes in world development in the conditions of globalization. The focus is on such contradictions of globalization as: technoglobalism, global stratification, global financial liberalization and market fundamentalism.
Governando espaços e espacialidades: uma análise das tecnologias de pedagogização no Parque Ibirapuera da cidade de São Paulo
Authors: Chaves Ana Paula , Aquino Julio
Published: April 2018

Determinados processos educativos forjam e governam espaços e espacialidades, sobretudo por meio de mecanismos pedagogizantes, os quais ultrapassam o âmbito educacional formal, espraiando-se no cenário urbano. Amparada na teorização foucaultiana, a investigação focaliza as técnicas pedagógicas de produção espacial no Parque Ibirapuera, por meio da análise dos Processos da Comissão do IV Centenário da Cidade de São Paulo, entre 1951 e 1969, e dos discursos jornalísticos veiculados a esse respeito no jornal O Estado de S. Paulo de 1954 (ano de fundação do parque) a 2014. A análise arqueogenealógica descreve desde as políticas públicas para a criação do parque até as práticas atuais de lazer cultural e esportivo ali em curso. Junto às estratégias segregacionistas e higienistas em vigor nos momentos iniciais da história do parque, destacam-se as técnicas de normalização social em prol do bem-estar produtivo da população e, mais recentemente, as tecnologias de acento neoliberal visando capitalizar as atividades de recreação popular.

Ensaio sobre as relações entre os significados espaço-temporais e as concepções educacionais, com foco na escola. Na primeira seção do artigo, mostra-se como as transformações espaço-temporais que ocorreram na passagem do Medievo para a Modernidade serviram de condição de possibilidade para o surgimento da escola moderna. Na segunda, destaca-se como, na passagem do século 19 para o 20, diversos acontecimentos apontam para uma flexibilização dos significados espaço-temporais modernos, entre eles, a emergência da Escola Nova. Na terceira, apresenta-se a relação das lutas contradisciplinares dos anos 1960 com as novas transformações espaço-temporais e sua articulação com as discussões nessa década no campo da Sociologia da Educação, como a possibilidade de desescolarização. Na última seção, problematiza-se a configuração contemporânea dos significados espaço-temporais e estabelecem-se algumas conexões com os acontecimentos educacionais da atualidade.
Recursos didáticos nas aulas de matemática nos anos iniciais: critérios que orientam a escolha e o uso por parte de professores
Authors: Passos Éderson Oliveira , Takahashi Eduardo Kojy
Published: April 2018

Este artigo apresenta e discute os critérios considerados pelas professoras/colaboradoras desta pesquisa na escolha e no uso de recursos didáticos para o ensino de matemática nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental. A constituição dos dados constou de três etapas: questionário, observação e entrevista. A pesquisa, de abordagem qualitativa, fundamentou-se na análise de conteúdo temática. Pela análise, constatou-se que o aluno é o aspecto mais considerado pelas professoras ao optar por recursos didáticos. Verificou-se, ainda, que importantes recursos didáticos, como o ábaco e o Material Dourado, não foram objetos de estudo e reflexões práticas no processo de formação profissional em matemática das professoras dos anos iniciais. Conclui-se que a formação de professores quanto ao uso de recursos didáticos, em especial para o ensino de matemática, passa por problemas e que os critérios relevantes para a orientação da escolha desses recursos para a sala de aula, como conteúdo específico e tendo em vista os objetivos pretendidos, estão sendo negligenciados ou até mesmo desconsiderados.

Authors: Bergamaschi Maria Aparecida , Doebber Michele Barcelos , Brito Patricia Oliveira
Published: April 2018

Este artigo aborda a presença indígena no ensino superior brasileiro baseado em pesquisa em universidade que executa política afirmativa para ingresso e permanência de estudantes indígenas. Analisa também teses e dissertações, distribuídas em diferentes programas de pós-graduação, que tematizam o ingresso de estudantes indígenas (implantação de políticas de acesso, processos seletivos para ingresso) e questões relacionadas à sua permanência na universidade (programas de apoio financeiro e pedagógico, relação institucional com os estudantes, ações de acompanhamento e promoção da permanência). O acompanhamento dos estudantes considerou os depoimentos e a convivência com estudantes indígenas no espaço acadêmico. Dados mostram que a presença indígena no ensino superior oferece possibilidades de autorreflexão sobre as práticas pedagógicas da instituição de ensino superior e seu papel social. Também apontam que a permanência dos estudantes indígenas é um grande desafio para universidades e que diálogo e postura receptiva aos conhecimentos originários podem ser o primeiro passo para efetivar processos de interculturalidade no ensino superior.

A ampla difusão dos meios informáticos de comunicação e das bases de dados eletrônicas, de um lado, e a busca constante de racionalização de custos de produção dos periódicos científicos, de outro, têm feito com que um número crescente de publicações acadêmicas renuncie às coleções impressas, mantendo apenas versões digitais. Essa estratégia tem como principal consequência negativa a limitação da veiculação dos periódicos naquelas localidades e instituições ainda mal servidas de acesso público e rápido à rede mundial de computadores, motivo pelo qual a RBEP procura manter edições impressas e digitais, distribuídas para centenas de instituições de ensino superior, secretarias de estado de educação, grupos de pesquisa, dentre outras instituições que manifestam seu interesse em receber a Revista, cuja tiragem impressa é de dois mil exemplares. Outra consequência da distribuição exclusivamente digital dos periódicos científicos é a progressiva perda de importância relativa das coleções, volumes, dossiês e números, e a primazia do artigo isolado, acessado diretamente nas bases de dados eletrônicos a partir de pesquisas por autor, título ou palavras chave.

Vakıa olarak muayyen bir tarih içindeki muhataplarına ilahi maksat ve
manaları iletmek üzere gönderilmiş bir kitap olan Kur’an’ın, ilk muhataplarının
yeteneklerini ve birikimlerini dikkate alması olgusal bir gerekliliktir. Çünkü
kelam, belagat ve fesahatin zirvesinde inşa edilse dahi muhatabının zihinde
mütekellimin kastettiği manaya tekabül etmediği müddetçe taraflar arasında
iletişimi sağlayabilecek nitelik ve yeterliliğe sahip olamaz. Kur’an söz konusu
olduğunda bu, mütekelliminin Zȃt-ı ilahi olması dolayısıyla hitabın ve muhatabın
tabiatlarının farklılığından kaynaklanan ontolojik ve epistemolojik bir
sorundur. Dolayısıyla son derece sofistike bir sorundur. Ancak Allah’ın apaçık
beyanı olmak vasfıyla Kur’an, okunmak, anlaşılmak ve yaşanmak üzere indirildiği
muhakkaktır. Bu amacı gerçekleştirebilmek için muhatabının iletişim araçlarını,
dilini ve özgün ifade biçimlerini kullanmış; içerdiği manaları ve maksatları böylelikle
muhatabının zihnine yaklaştırmış, onun sözcüklerini, onun kavramlarını ve
ıstılahlarını kullanarak kendisi ile muhatap arasında bir muvazaa tesis
etmiştir. Esasen onun apaçık Arapça bir beyan olmasının hikmeti budur.
Üslȗbu’l-Kur’an, bu ilahi hikmetin tecellilerinden biridir. İşte bu hikmet

Production shop is a complex task that impacts the ability of an organization to integrate between economic and production performance measurements. The CONWIP (CONstant Work In Process) approach is the simplest pull system to implement. Two-machine transfer line with the exponentially distributed duration of the process, break and repair were formulated and solved as a Markovian-chain. Decomposition was used to iteratively employ this solution in solving K-machine transfer line. These models assume that batch size is fixed. In this study we extend the existing transfer line solution, to deal with 1 unit process batch and t units transfer batch along the line.

Aim: The aim of the paper is to review Polish discriminant models and their application to predict bankruptcy on the examples of selected joint stock companies in the years 2013 – 2015.Research method: The paper was written on the basis of literature search within the scope discussed. Further, the authors carried out their own examination of certain joint stock companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE). The discriminant analysis was conducted on the basis of financial statements of the selected companies using Mączynska’s model, the model developed by Gajdka and Stos, Hadasik’s model and the Poznański model.Findings: The analysis shows that not all discriminant models reflect changes in the financial condition of a company. Nevertheless, they are a good tool to evaluate the risk of failure, provided that more than one model are used.Originality /value of the paper /scholarly contribution: Discriminant models are universal, which means that they can be applied to any company, regardless of the industry they operate in. The results of the analysis can be used as a basis for further studies on the accurate adjustment of discriminant models to companies, depending on the type of business.

Aim: The paper follows up and builds on the author’s considerations pertaining to the market of bancassurance products and the accounting treatment for remuneration banks receive for offering this kind of products. The article aims at presenting the new rules of accounting for and recognition of insurance commission in the bank accounting books, as they have been recommended by the Polish Supervision Authority (PSA) since 2013,  and the assessment of impact of those new rules on the bank financial results. Design / research method: This paper seeks to verify the hypothesis stating that the bank’s financial performance may deteriorate significantly after the implementation of the new accounting rules for commission received for selling insurance products, recommended by the Polish Supervision Authority in 2013. The study was conducted on the basis of the reports of the Polish Chamber of Insurance, using the comparative analysis method. Moreover, the paper employs a critical analysis of academic literature and the PSA recommendation (guidelines) for bancassurance. Conclusion/findings: The studies have confirmed the assumption made as to the financial performance of the banks in Poland offering bancassurance-type products over the early years of the PSA’s new recommendation being in force. Originality /value of the paper: The set of issues this paper is dedicated to is very much up-to-date in Poland. In 2013, the new “U” recommendation of the PSA was implemented in banks, specifying, among other things, the rules for the recognition of revenue from offering insurance products. Implications of the research (if applicable): The paper shows the practical implications of the implementation of the new accounting rules for insurance commission for the valuation of credit portfolios in the banks linked to insurance products. It represents a valuable source for bankers dealing with the issues of recognition of insurance commissions in the bank accounting books. Limitations of the research  (if applicable): The paper may inspire others to conduct further research on the methods of valuation of bancassurance-type products.
The seductive logic of subtractive sustainability: reflections on sustainable socio-economic development
Authors: Van Dam Ynte K.
Published: April 2018

Aim: To discuss the drivers and impediments sustainability of social systems.Design / Research methods: Analysis of and reflections on the discussions on campus antifragility during the 4th  international conference on efficiency, sustainable business and sustainable economic development, hosted by WSB Wroclaw on May 13th 2016.Conclusions / findings: (1) Lack of sustainability results from organisational culture or dominant logic rather than from primary activities; (2) Disequilibrium in organisational culture reflects a lack of congruence between formal and informal institutions; (3) Conflict between informal and formal institutions is a driver of change, unless the formal institutions are enforced as a core cultural value; (4) Sustainability and sustainable development in a turbulent environment should aim for organisational and cultural diversity.Originality / value of the article: This discussion note shows that a good metaphor can generate new insights. Viewed in terms of organisational viability and antifragility it is not what is done, but how it is done that determines the sustainability of an organisation. This implies that the ends never justify the means. The discussion note shows that sustainable development requires a critical reflection on the formal institutions and governance systems that determine these means. Likewise sustainable marketing requires a critical reflection on market institutions.
Zarządzanie zróżnicowanym wiekowo zespołem pracowników – wyzwaniem dla współczesnego menedżera
Authors: Nowacka Marta Elżbieta
Published: April 2018

Aim: Considering the progressing demographic changes triggering ever larger generation diversity of today’s organizations, the paper aims at identifying: how do intergenerational relations develop in the workplace and what is the manager’s role in the process of the organization of work and atmosphere creation in an age diverse staff?Design / Research methods: An analysis of the secondary research (Polish and foreign) on inter- generational relations in the workplace was carried out. Also, findings made on the basis of the author’s own research are presented: quantitative studies (a survey carried out among 103 students of the University of the Third Age at Częstochowa University of Technology and 100 students of Częstochowa University of Technology), and qualitative studies (focus groups comprising students and in-depth interviews conducted among 3 of the UTA students and 2 members of Alumni Association of Częstochowa University of Technology)Conclusions / findings: On the basis of the research analysis, the problem of intergenerational isolation between different generations was revealed and also a lack of common ground which affects the creation of work atmosphere and the organization of work and which arises, among other things, from stereotypical thinking, prejudice, fear, lack of knowledge. The possibility of a cross-generational cooperation is not determined by the actually existing differences in terms of values, motivation or the expectations of representatives of the different generations (which would render the cooperation and the priorities alignment impossible). Thus, it is feasible to build a productive cooperation within intergenerational staff, with managers playing a significant role in this process. In the first place, they should ensure an appropriate atmosphere in an age-diverse staff. To ensure that each employee feels respected and treated equally (in this context the manager’s attitude is important). In organizing work for their employees, managers should seek to create chances and opportunities of mutual cooperation among people of different ages, so as not to deepen intergenerational isolation, and instead create opportunities of getting to know one other. This, in turn, can contribute to fewer prejudices and stereotypes which tend to arise from not knowing the other person well enough. An element of specific integration could be encouraging employees to fulfill the organization’s goals by commonly striving for them.Originality / value of the article: The research analysis was employed to determine the factors which may have impact on the creation of intergenerational relations in a workplace, with this providing the basis for defining the manager’s role.Implications of the research: The identification of factors impacting the creation of relations in the workplace allowed for specific recommendations and guidelines for managers to be formulated which may be useful in creating proper relations in age-diverse organizations in Poland.
