Effect of Welding Processes with High Heat Input on the Microstructure and Toughness of Coarse-Grained Heat-Affected Zone of a High-Strength High-Toughness Steel
Authors: Li Yu Jie , Lei Jin Wei , Lei Xuan Wei , Hress Oleksandr , Wu Kai Ming
Published: November 2018

Utilizing submerged arc welding under heat input 50 kJ/cm on 60 mm thick marine engineering structure plate F550, the effect of preheating and post welding heat treatment on the microstructure and impact toughness of coarse-grained heat-affected zone (CGHAZ) has been investigated. The original microstructure of the steel plate is tempered martensite. The yield and tensile strength is 610 and 660 MPa, respectively. The impact absorbed energy at low temperature (-60 °C) at transverse direction reaches about 230~270 J. Welding results show that the preheating at 100 °C did not have obvious influence on the microstructure and toughness; whereas the tempering at 600 °C for 2.5 h after welding could significantly reduce the amount of M-A components in the coarse-grained heat-affected zone and thus improved the low temperature impact toughness.

Zika virus (ZIKV) infection is an emerging public health problem, associated with increased risk for Guillain–Barré syndrome and adverse fetal outcomes, including congenital microcephaly. Zika virus sexual transmission is known, but detection of the virus in different parts of the female reproductive tract is not well established. In this case report, we describe prolonged detection of ZIKV RNA in the vaginal secretion and endocervical mucosa from a Brazilian woman convalescent to ZIKV infection. A viral load of 2 × 102 copies/mL was detected up to 31 days after symptom onset in both samples. Other biological fluids, including whole blood, plasma, serum, urine, and saliva samples, were negative for ZIKV RNA. These findings advance the understanding of ZIKV infection and provide data for additional testing strategies.
Two pathways of how SST anomalies drive the interannual variability of autumnal haze days in the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region, China

Published: November 2018

Abstract. Analogous to the circumstances in wintertime, the increasing severity of autumnal haze pollution over the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei (BTH) region may also lead to impairment of the socioeconomic development and human health in this region. Despite manmade aerosol emissions, the interannual variability of autumnal (September–October–November) haze days (AHD) in the BTH region (AHDBTH) is apparently tied to the global and regional meteorological anomalies. The present study suggests that an above-normal AHDBTH is closely associated with the simultaneous sea surface temperature (SST) warming in two regions [over the North Atlantic subtropical sector (R1) and over the western North Pacific sector (R2)]. When the autumnal SST warming in R1 and R2 are both remarkably significant, the joint impacts can greatly enhance the likelihood of a higher AHDBTH. Observational and simulation evidence suggests that SST anomalies can affect the variation in AHDBTH via two different pathways. Firstly, SST warming in R1 can induce a downstream mid-latitudinal Rossby wave train, leading to a barotropic high-pressure and subsidence anomaly over the BTH region. Secondly, SST warming in R2 can also result in air subsidence over the BTH region through an anomalous local meridional cell. Through these two distinct pathways, localized meteorological circumstances conducive to a higher AHDBTH (i.e., repressed planetary boundary layer, weak southerly airflow, and warm and moist conditions) can be established.
Alkalinity and nitrate concentrations in calcareous watersheds: Are they linked,
and is there an upper limit to alkalinity?
Authors: Müller Beat , Meyer Joseph S. , Gächter René
Published: November 2018

Abstract. Data from aquifers in calcareous watersheds in Switzerland demonstrate that alkalinity initially increases approximately in proportion to nitrate (NO3−) concentration in the groundwater and eventually approaches an apparent maximum of approximately 8 mmol L−1 at high NO3− concentrations. This close positive relationship between alkalinity and NO3− concentration appears to be predominantly a result of three processes: (i) mineralization of organic nitrogen (N) fertilizer, (ii) exchange of OH− and H+ during the uptake of NO3− or ammonium (NH4+), and (iii) CO2 released by roots as a result of fertilizer-stimulated plant growth. Atmospheric deposition of N and strong acids (H2SO4 and HNO3) play a minor role. We suggest that the asymptotic approach to a maximum groundwater alkalinity at NO3− concentrations exceeding 0.25 mmol L−1 may be caused by (i) a maximum possible areal crop production at excessive N fertilization and (ii) an increasing CO2 loss to the atmosphere due to the increasing CO2 production in the soil. Thus, we estimate that the fertilizer-intensive agriculture of Switzerland generates an annual flux from the soil to the atmosphere of at least 0.26 Mt CO2 a−1. This analysis provides a general understanding and quantitative prediction of steady-state groundwater NO3− concentration; equilibrium groundwater alkalinity, pH, and pCO2; and soil CO2 emissions to the atmosphere based on quantitative and qualitative information on the supply of N and acidity to the soil by atmospheric deposition and N fertilization. The positive correlation between alkalinity and NO3− concentration in groundwaters persists in rivers and lakes. However, due to the diffusive loss of CO2 to the atmosphere, subsequent precipitation of calcite, dilution with surface water, input of wastewater discharges and NO3− consumption by aquatic photoautotrophs, the correlation is less distinct.
The combined processing of geomagnetic intensity vector projections and absolute magnitude measurements
Authors: Getmanov Victor G. , Gvishiani Alexei D. , Sidorov Roman V.
Published: November 2018

Abstract. A method for the combined processing measurements of the projections and the absolute magnitudes of geomagnetic field intensity vectors, based on mathematical technology of local approximation models, was proposed. The approach realized in this paper, based on the proposed method, provides the increase of accuracy of the measurements of the projections of the geomagnetic intensity vector. An algorithm for the two-stage combined processing of the measurements of projections and absolute magnitudes of geomagnetic field intensity vectors was developed. The operation of the combined processing algorithm was tested on models and observatory measurements. The estimates of the combined processing algorithm errors were obtained using statistical modelling. The reduction of the root mean square error values was achieved for the estimates of the projections of geomagnetic field intensity vectors.
A susceptibility-based rainfall threshold approach for landslide
occurrence
Authors: Monsieurs Elise , Dewitte Olivier , Demoulin Alain
Published: November 2018

Abstract. Rainfall threshold determination is a pressing issue in the landslide scientific community. While main improvements have been made towards more reproducible techniques for the identification of triggering conditions for landsliding, the now well-established rainfall intensity or event – duration thresholds for landsliding suffer from several limitations. Here, we propose a new approach of the frequentist method for threshold definition based on satellite-derived antecedent rainfall estimates directly coupled with landslide susceptibility data. Adopting a bootstrap statistical technique for the identification of threshold uncertainties at different exceedance probability levels, it results in thresholds expressed as AR = (α ± ∆α) * S(β ± ∆β), where AR is antecedent rainfall (mm), S is landslide susceptibility, α and β are scaling parameters, and ∆α and ∆β are their uncertainties. The main improvements of this approach consist in: (1) using spatially continuous satellite rainfall data, (2) giving equal weight to rainfall characteristics and ground susceptibility factors in the definition of spatially varying rainfall thresholds, (3) proposing an exponential antecedent rainfall function that involves past daily rainfall in the exponent to account for the different lasting effect of large versus small rainfall, (4) quantitatively exploiting the lower parts of the cloud of data points, most meaningful for threshold estimation, and (5) merging the uncertainty on landslide date with the fit uncertainty in a single error estimation. We apply our approach in the western branch of the East African Rift based on landslides that occurred between 2001 and 2018, satellite rainfall estimates from the Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission Multi-satellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA 3B42 RT), and the continental-scale map of landslide susceptibility of Broeckx et al. (2018) and provide first regional rainfall thresholds for landsliding in tropical Africa.

Assessment of Innovation and Its Impacts on the Organisation in a Public Sector Organisation
Authors: Ramorula Ishmael , Agolla JE
Published: November 2018

The paper presents an attempt to provide an assessment of innovativeness of the Botswana public sector and how its impacts on the overall business performance. To accomplish the study aims, a survey of a selected public sector organisation was carried out to gather information on the innovativeness and the impacts thereof on the overall performance of the sector. The hypotheses were tested using multivariate statistics. The study reveals that product and customer satisfaction are good predictors of innovativeness of organisation and have impact on the overall business performance. The other remaining variables did not indicate significance on the innovativeness and impacts on the selected public organisation’s overall business performance. The present study’s limitation is the focus on one public sector organisation. However, the study provides an insight into the innovativeness of Botswana’s public sector and the impacts on the selected public sector’s overall business performance. In addition, the study offers some recommendation on how the organisation can make use of the remaining variables to enhance its innovativeness. The study offers prima facie case of public sector innovativeness from a developing country, where little is known about innovation capabilities of the sector. Furthermore, the paper provides a more generalised, products and customer satisfaction as predictors of organisation innovativeness.
A Family of Love: Another Look at Bethlehem's General Economy
Authors: Peucker Paul
Published: November 2018

A distinctive feature of life in early Moravian Bethlehem was the common household or “General Economy.” From the beginning of the General Economy in 1742 until its end in 1762, every resident of Bethlehem worked for the common good without pay. In return, the community provided food, lodging, and clothing. At its height, more than 1,000 people were part of the General Economy. Much detail is known about how the General Economy functioned. Less is known about the reasons why Moravians practiced a common household, and where the idea for the Economy originated. Through a close reading of relevant texts and by comparing Bethlehem with other Moravian communities of the time, the author argues that the General Economy was very much part of the ideology of the early Moravians who followed the example of other radical Pietists of the time by separating from the established church and striving to gather true believers and organize them according to the example set by the early Christians. Practicing a common household was considered to be a high (but not necessary) goal of true Christianity.
Moravian Encounters with Refugees in South Africa: A Contribution to the Debate on the Origins of the Fingos
Authors: Boon Pieter G.
Published: November 2018

This article endeavors to contribute to the debate on the origins of the Fingos. Special attention is given to the Moravian encounters with the Fingos in the 1820s and 1830s. The author argues that Moravian writings, although not objective, can be helpful to contemporary debates in South African historiography. Moravian evidence supports the proposition that the Fingos were not an ethnic unity before their influx into the Cape Colony. Yet on the other hand, it supports that they entered the colony as refugees, and not as forced labor. The Fingo origins were closely linked to the period of the Mfecane. Moravian evidence points to a middle position between the extremes of the current debate about Fingo origins. Their origins were not a monocausal European matter. The switch of allegiance of the Fingos from the Xhosas to the British was a conscious decision. Moravian writings explain that the Fingos consisted of a hodgepodge of refugees. Although no one is objective, in recent historiography the writings of missionaries have been discredited perhaps too easily, and especially the writings of non-English missionaries active in South Africa were scarcely used until present.
Religious Turns: Immigration, Islam, and Christianity in 21st Century German Cultural Politics
Authors: Breger Claudia
Published: November 2018

The paper analyzes recent German headscarf legislation in the context of early twenty-first-century religious turns, that is, on the one hand constructions of “Islam/ism” as the newly dominant figure of cultural difference on the political stage, and on the other hand the renewed prominence also of Christianity in public discourse. Against the background of current academic work on and in political theology, I analyze the “post-secular” concepts of collective identity developed under the sign of the headscarf by associating them with two different theoretical models. Berlin’s headscarf legislation can be compared to the French “Law on Laicity,” which has been criticized as a vehicle of hidden political theologies in Carl Schmitt’s sense: The Republic performs its sovereignty through the ways it manages religious exceptions. The openly asymmetrical headscarf bans passed in a number of other German states, however, do not just make “exceptions” for Christianity; rather, they privilege “Christian tradition” as the foundation of the “secular” German state. Critically relating this rhetoric to the ways in which Jean-Luc Nancy and Slavoj Žižek conceptualize the (presumably inescapable) destabilization of secular democracy through the forces of heteronomy and tradition, the paper pleas for replacing such uses of political theology in both politics and theory.
Empathy and Dyspathy with Androids:
Philosophical, Fictional, and (Neuro)Psychological Perspectives
Authors: Misselhorn Catrin
Published: November 2018

The fact that we develop feelings towards androids, i.e., objects with a humanlike appearance, has fascinated people since ancient times. However, as a short survey of the topic in history, science fiction literature and film shows, our emotional reactions towards them are ambivalent. On the one hand, we can develop feelings of empathy almost as we do with real human beings; on the other hand, we feel repulsion or dyspathy when those creatures show a very high degree of human likeness. Recently, Japanese roboticist Masahiro Mori coined the term “uncanny valley” to refer to this effect. The aim of this essay is, first, to give an explanation as to why we feel empathy towards androids although we know that they do not have feelings themselves. This presupposes a perception-based concept of empathy which is going to be developed on the basis of some of Theodor Lipps’ ideas. The second question to be answered is why empathy with androids turns into dyspathy when they become very humanlike. As I will argue, this is due to a particular kind of interference between perception and the imagination when confronted with very humanlike objects. This makes androids quite special objects right at the divide between humans and non-humans. They are non-human, but we feel ill at ease when treating them as mere objects.

In other words, the Field of Musical Improvisation (FMI) has no stable or strict identity.
Hemispheric and Transborder Perspectives: Racialization of Mexicans through Time
Authors: Stephen Lynn
Published: November 2018

This article embeds a discussion of contemporary transborder communities—communities spread out in multiple locations in the U.S. and Mexico—in the history of U.S.-Mexico relations as seen through the colonial and contemporary mapping of space, place, people, race, and ethnicity both visually through the creation of maps and then metaphorically through U.S. immigration policy in the 19th and 20th centuries. I argue that the concept of “transborder” which can include borders of coloniality, ethnicity, race, nation, and region can help us to illuminate U.S.-Mexico relationships through time and the complexities of the racialization of Mexicans in the U.S.

Rationality, Animality, and Human Nature: Reconsidering Kant’s View of the Human/Animal Relation
Authors: Craig David
Published: November 2018

Kant is often criticized for his strict separation of humans and animals as categorically distinct entities. This separation hinges on the fact that, for Kant, humans are rational, while non-human animals are wholly irrational. This essay argues that a strict separation of rational humanity and irrational animality, prominent in many areas of Kant’s thinking, does not characterize his view of the human/animal relation overall. For, within Kant’s theory of human nature, rationality and animality are in fact entwined, with both contributing to the goodness and full realization of human life. Through engagement with a range of Kant’s writings on human nature, it is suggested that Kant’s view of the human/animal relation merits reconsideration by Kant scholars and animal-oriented philosophers alike.
Organisms and Objectifications: A Historical-Materialist Inquiry into the “Human and Animal”
Authors: Fracchia Joseph
Published: November 2018

In order to respond to the problem addressed by this volume, I must reformulate its title, “Defining the Human and Animal”, by replacing the conjunctive 'and' with 'as'. Because this essay is based on the not too far-fetched assumption that Homo sapiens is an animal species, it addresses the question of defining the human as animal. To do so, it takes its cue from an offhand, never systematically elaborated statement by Karl Marx that, by taking the body seriously, situates human beings in the animal world, namely: “The first fact to be established for historical theory is human corporeal organization” (and fully in keeping with Marx’s—and Darwin’s—logic, that the same is true for the history of all species). The way in which any organism, humans included, negotiates, inhabits, and transforms its world is inextricably linked to its corporeal organization. Accordingly, rather than attempt to define the human and animal, my concern is with the question of the relation between an organism’s corporeal organization and the history of its ‘objectifications’, that is, how each organism, Homo sapiens included, makes worlds in its own bodily image. This historical-materialist inquiry into the ‘Human as Animal’ will therefore be developed in two parts. This essay will first outline historical materialism as a corporeal turn by situating it in relation to the mainstream of the Western philosophical tradition and to Darwin’s materialist conception of natural history. Then, through an elaboration of the concept of Vergegenständlichung/objectification, it will consider history as world-making – a labor common to all organisms, but certainly unique in Homo sapiens.
Introduction: What is a Thing
Authors: Reynolds Nicholas , Librett Jeffrey S
Published: November 2018

As the modern world has seemed an increasingly material one, and so increasingly thingly, the very reality of things has often--and from many different perspectives--seemed to elude us. Questions about what things are, and how they mean, questions about how things are to be circumscribed (for example) in epistemological, ethical, aesthetic, and political terms, have arguably become--across the course of modernity (and beyond)--both increasingly pressing and increasingly vexed. -- In this extremely broad context, the contributions to the current Special Issue examine specific approaches to things from the later nineteenth century to today within the literary, philosophical, and psychoanalytic discourses. The foci range from the descriptive representationalism of nineteenth century German poetic realism to the monumentalization of everyday objects in postcolonial fiction; from the poetics of the Dinggedicht in Rilkean modernism to the Anglo-American imagist doctrine of "no ideas but in things" and the disruptions of this doctrine in contemporary German and American poetry; from Husserl's call "to the things themselves" to the Derridian displacements of the Heideggerian "thing" and on to the most recent developments in "object-oriented metaphysics"; from the Freudian notion of the unconscious as comprising "representations-of-things" to the Lacanian rereading of the lost object as das Ding.
Urgent Matter
Authors: Monroe Jonathan
Published: November 2018

Opening questions about “things” onto the bureaucratically-maintained, compartmentalized discursive, disciplinary claims of “philosophy,” “theory,” and “poetry,” “Urgent Matter” explores these three terms in relation to one another through attention to recent work by Giorgio Agamben, Jacques Rancière, the German-American poet Rosmarie Waldrop, and the German poet Ulf Stolterfoht, whose fachsprachen. Gedichte. I-IX (Lingos I-IX. Poems) Waldrop rendered into English in an award-winning translation. The difference between the "things" called "poetry" and "philosophy," as now institutionalized within the academy, is not epistemological, ontological, ahistorical, but a matter of linguistic domains, of so-called concrete "images" as the policed domain of the former and of "abstraction" as the policed domain of the latter. Challenging the binary logics that dominate language use in diverse discursive/disciplinary cultures, Waldrop’s linguistically self-referential, appositional procedures develop ways to use language that are neither linear, nor so much without direction, as multi-directional, offering complexes of adjacency, of asides, of digression, of errancy, of being “alongside,” in lieu of being “opposed to,” that constitute at once a poetics, an aesthetics, an ethics, and a politics. Elaborating a complementary understanding of poetry as “the most philosophic of all writing,” a medium of being “contemporary,” Waldrop and Stolterfoht question poetry’s purposes as one kind of language apparatus among others in the general economy. Whatever poetry might be, it aspires to be in their hands not a thing in itself but a form of self-questioning, of all discourses, all disciplines, that “thing” that binds “poetry” and “philosophy” together, as urgent matter, in continuing.
At the discretion of the (a-) thing: Derrida and German thought
Authors: Appelbaum David
Published: November 2018

In this presentation, I examine the doubleness of the thing that is usually masked by the appropriative tendencies of life. Once the enigma of thingliness is given its place, the influence of its own non-intentional inherencies can be recognized. Derrida is particularly interested in the virtual or spectral manifestations of things and the affective power they possess. In the background of each thing, das Ding resides, and with it, the force to call forth the real.

Prognostic Factors of Early Neonatal Sepsis in the City of Cartagena Colombia
Authors: Gómez Jaime Lorduy , González Stephanye Carrillo , Muñoz Baldiris Ruby Elena , Díaz-Pérez Anderson , Perez Iris
Published: November 2018

INTRODUCTION: The obstetirc or noenatal risk factors, are in many cases the major evidence to define and forecast of an early neonatal sepsis, considering that a newborn that has lived less tan 72 hours presents unspecified clinical manifestations and the diagnostic exams utilize infectious and inflammatory markers, with there being very litttle scientific evidence to support and establish an early diagnosis. Objective: Associate the obstetric and neonatal risk factors with the presence of early sepsis in Cartagena.

MATERIALS & METHODS: A retrospective study of cases and controls was conducted. The sample consisted of 183 cases and 366 controls, including pacients who met simultaneously inclusion and exclusion criteria. A bivariated analysis and a multivariated model of regression logistics were used.

RESULTS: Among the associtated variables and early sepsis in which it was able to define the risk that is found when there is a premature membrane rupture > 18 hours (OR 9,57 IC 95% 4,12-22,26), premature newborn (OR 8,19 IC 95% 3,66-18,3), the presence of maternal fever (OR 6,49 IC 95% 3,43-12,3), marital status (OR 5,89 IC 95% 3,42-10,15) and level of education (OR 4,80 IC 95% 2,63-8,77).

CONCLUSIONS: The mechanisms of fetal evaluation and maternal prophylaxis should be prioritized in the cases of pregnant women that present a premature membrane rupture >18 hours, and have kids who were born premature and living in couple with a low level of education.
An Examination of the Courses for the Education of Exceptionally Talented Children in Special Education Teaching Programs in European Union Member States and Turkey
Authors: Kayhan Nilay , Akmese Pelin Pistav
Published: November 2018

Legal regulations about education and educational policies are important for the quality of the practices. It has been seen that many countries invest in the education of the individuals who will form a qualified society in the future and focus on the teacher training and quality. The teachers have a great role in determining the exceptionally talented individuals in Turkey, their education, directing their performances in accordance with their interests and talents, enabling them to benefit from support education. Accordingly, in order to determine what kind of competency the teachers gain regarding this pre-service area, the courses in the special education teaching undergraduate programs regarding the exceptionally talented area in European Union (EU) and Turkey have been investigated in terms of number, term and credit content. Qualitative research method and document analysis technique are used in the descriptive study which aims to determine an existing situation. The data were obtained from education reports published by EU member countries about their own education systems, United Nations Children Rights and Education reports and Council of Higher Education’s Teacher Training Programs. For example, the preservice teachers are given theoretical information in the first classes, then receive education in which they can observe and show effective teaching skills with a mentor in the following years in the countries such as Belgium, the Czech Republic, Finland, Spain, Sweden, Luxemburg, and Malta.

De relatie tussen burgerlijke rechter en wetgever

De wet dwingt de rechter tot een terughoudende opstelling jegens de wetgever. Recente rechterlijke uitspraken hebben (opnieuw) de vraag opgeroepen of de verlangde terughoudendheid uit internationaalrechtelijk oogpunt houdbaar is. In zijn bijdrage bespreekt de auteur de stand van de rechtspraak van de Hoge Raad. Zijn conclusie is dat nog altijd terughoudendheid wordt betracht en dat deze niet onhoudbaar is. Wel signaleert hij een verschuiving in de opvatting van het grondwettelijke begrip ‘eenieder verbindende bepalingen’, alsmede een ruimere overheidsaansprakelijkheid voor niet-onverbindende wetgeving, onder meer in geval van onverenigbaarheid met Europese richtlijnen.

Proeve van een verbeterde Grondwet

Met zijn Proeve van een verbeterde Grondwet geeft Huub Linthorst oplossingen voor de risico’s die uit zijn ‘stresstest’ naar voren kwamen. Tot de voorstellen behoren de afschaffing van de Eerste Kamer, de invoering van het toetsingsrecht, versterking van (de formulering van) de grondrechten, een lichtere herzieningsprocedure en de invoering van een bindend referendum. Aan de doelstelling van haalbaarheid heeft Linthorst voldaan door op belangrijke punten tegemoet te komen aan voor- en tegenstanders. Naast verbetering en haalbaarheid, is het doel van deze Proeve het bereiken van meer democratie en van effectievere waarborgen tegen aantasting van onze rechtstaat. Of deze Proeve, na het bereiken van het Staatsblad meer democratie brengt en bovendien een dam kan opwerpen tegen schendingen van de rechtsstaat zoals die in Polen en Hongrijke, is allerminst gegarandeerd. Afgezien van het gebruikelijke cynisme over de normatieve kracht van de Grondwet, beslaat onze geschreven constitutie steeds minder de constitutionele werkelijkheid.

Os recursos didáticos são abordados frequentemente pelo campo docente, pois são responsáveis em promover o processo de ensino aprendizagem dos alunos. Porém, cabe ao educador diversificar constantemente para atender a demanda em sala de aula. Já que, nenhum aluno aprende igual ao outro, cada um possui a sua singularidade, especialmente aqueles com necessidades educativas especiais. Assim, o objetivo central se baseou em compreender se os recursos cartográficos táteis estão sendo utilizados na rede regular de ensino, e como os professores lidam com os alunos com deficiência visual em suas disciplinas, mais especificamente nas aulas de geografia. Portanto, concluímos que realidade é tumultuosa os docentes sentem retraídos em lidar com os alunos com NEE, por inúmeros motivos citados por eles mesmo em entrevista como: formação inicial fragilizada, jornadas exaustivas, escassez de materiais para a confecção do recurso, carência de cursos de capacitação para os profissionais se prepararem para atender estes alunos. Portanto, todos esses apontamentos fazem com que os alunos sejam prejudicados no processo de ensino aprendizagem, afim de sanar este problema, espera-se mostrar aos professores ideias para inserir esse recurso em sala de aula, diminuindo assim o uso dos métodos descritivos e repetitivos com esses alunos.Palavras Chaves: Mapas Táteis; Inclusão; Recursos Didáticos.Abstract:The teaching resources are often addressed by the teaching field, as they are responsible for promoting the process of teaching students' learning. However, it is up to the educator to constantly diversify to meet the demand in the classroom. Since, no student learns the same as the other, each one has its singularity, especially those with special educational needs. Thus, the central objective was to understand whether tactile mapping resources are being used in the regular education network, and how teachers deal with visually impaired students in their subjects, more specifically in geography classes. Therefore, we conclude that reality is tumultuous teachers feel withdrawn in dealing with students with SEN, for many reasons cited by them even in an interview such as: initial training fragilized, exhaustive days, shortage of materials for the making of the resource, lack of courses of professionals to prepare to serve these students. Therefore, all these notes cause students to be harmed in the teaching-learning process, in order to solve this problem, it is hoped to show teachers ideas to insert this resource in the classroom, thus reducing the use of descriptive and repetitive methods with these students.Keywords: Tactile Maps; Inclusion; Didactic resources.

Estes sistemas se destacam pelas inúmeras funções ambientais que desempenham, como a redução dos picos de cheia, recarga de aquíferos e contenção da velocidade do escoamento das águas pluviais e fluviais. A legislação brasileira apenas tangencia o tema, não abrange todas as tipologias de AUs e não dispõe medidas adequadas para sua proteção e gestão. Além disso, a perspectiva urbana sobre o tema é particularmente desconhecida e pouco trabalhada. Este artigo tem como objetivo inventariar as áreas úmidas na zona urbana de Belo Horizonte, em áreas de parques, a partir do levantamento de áreas potenciais, trabalhos de campo para descrição das características ambientais das AUs identificadas por meio de checklists e espacialização com o auxílio de mapas temáticos. Foram executadas campanhas de campo contemplando 11 parques municipais nos quais foram identificadas 18 AUs urbanas. As AUs identificadas estão situadas em cinco das nove regionais do município de Belo Horizonte e apresentam configuração diversa. De maneira geral, pretende-se contribuir para o conhecimento sobre a configuração e distribuição das AUs urbanas de Belo Horizonte, subsidiando futuras estratégias para a sua proteção.Palavras–chave: Áreas úmidas, Parques urbanos de Belo Horizonte; NascentesAbstract Wetlands such as swamps, mangroves, veredas, marshes, and diffuse springs are complex and unique environmental systems periodically or permanently inundated and scarcely studied in Brazil. These systems are remarkable due to their many environmental functions, for instance, reduction of peak floods, recharge of aquifers and reduction of river flows and rainfall runoff. The Brazilian law barely mentions the subject, doesn’t cover all types of wetlands and does not set the necessary measures and standards for their management and protection. Besides, the urban perspective is mostly unknown and researched. This paper aims to take inventory of the urban wetlands in parks in Belo Horizonte, through assessment of potential areas, fieldwork using checklists to describe the wetlands and mapping through GIS tools. The inventory includes 11 municipal parks in which 18 urban wetlands were found. The mapped wetlands are spread across five of the nine municipal regionals and present diverse settings. Overall we hope to contribute with information on the setting and location of the urban wetlands in Belo Horizonte, to assist future protection actions.Keywords: Wetlands, Belo Horizonte, urban parks, springs

O estudo em arte rupestre tem tomado diferentes perspectivas em Arqueologia, dentro os quais suas relações com a paisagem. Neste caminho, o objetivo deste artigo é apresentar breves considerações sobre as pesquisas que têm sido desenvolvidas no sítio arqueológico Sampaio, localizado no município de Felício dos Santos, Alto Vale do Araçuaí, Minas Gerais, e como se tem apropriado metodológica e teoricamente do conceito da paisagem para se inferir acerca de questões caras à Arqueologia. É sabido que os seres humanos coexistem com os outros agentes de seu meio sob uma ótica de percepção. Por isso, o sítio, o meio envolvente e os grafismos são analisados de acordo com discussões teórico-metodológicas e de reflexões sobre as interrelações entre Humanos e o (seu) mundo, que podem contribuir para com o entendimento de como as pinturas se deram sobre a superfície rochosa e influenciaram o comportamento e processo de conhecimento daqueles que as realizaram. Utilizando diferentes metodologias, com investigações que seguem desde a caracterização geoambiental ou uso do SIG para mapeamento da área, tem-se buscado compreender a dinâmica das ocupações humanas em longa duração, tendo paisagem e lugar como conceitos-chave.Palavras-chave: Arte rupestre. Paisagem. Lugar. Estrutura. Alto Araçuaí.AbstractThe study in rock art has taken different perspectives in Archeology, within which its relations with the landscape. In this way, the objective of this article is to present brief considerations about the researches that have been developed in Sampaio archaeological site, located in the municipality of Felício dos Santos, Alto Vale do Araçuaí, Minas Gerais, and how we have methodologically and theoretically appropriate the concept of the landscape to infer about important issues for Archeology. It is well known that human beings coexist with other agents of their environment from a perspective of perception. Therefore, the site, environment and the paintings are analyzed according to theoretical-methodological discussions and reflections on the interrelationships between Humans and their world, which can contribute to the understanding of how the paintings were made on the rock surface and influenced the behavior and knowledge about the process of those who performed them. Using different methodologies, with investigations ranging from the geoenvironmental characterization or the use of GIS to mapping the area, we have sought to understand the dynamics of human occupations in long-term, having landscape and place as key concepts.Keywords: Rock Art.

Este artigo apresenta os resultados do estudo realizado na área da expansão urbana da cidade de Braga, situada na região do Minho, Norte de Portugal, para os terrenos rurais da encosta do Bom Jesus. Essa expansão tem sido feita com base em casas de luxo predominantemente construídas pelos seus proprietários. Com base num questionário aplicado a uma amostra de habitantes da aqui chamada “favela dos ricos”, este artigo teve como objetivo expressar os aspectos sociais, arquitetónicos e urbanos em sua estrita relação com o ambiente onde estão localizados. A análise focaliza-se nas formas de ocupação do espaço e de transformação da paisagem levada a cabo por uma nova elite, que faz da moradia o símbolo mais visível da sua ascensão social. Mostramos também o modo como nos processos de urbanismo os custos da energia e os fatores energéticos de eficiência e sustentabilidade ambiental estão incorporados nas percepções e hábitos dos seus proprietários e refletidos no projetos de construção das suas moradias.Palavras-chave: urbanização; encosta; favela; elite; questões energéticas.AbstractThis article presents the results of the study carried out in the area of urban expansion of the city of Braga, located in the Minho region of northern Portugal, to the rural lands of the Bom Jesus slope. This expansion has been made based on luxury homes predominantly built under the direction of their own residents. Based on a questionnaire applied to a sample of inhabitants of the so-called "favela of the rich", this article aims to express social, architectural and urban aspects in their strict relation with the environment where they are located. The analysis focuses on the forms of occupation of space and transformation of the landscape developed by a new elite, that makes the house the most visible symbol of its social ascent. We also show how urbanization processes energy costs and energy factors, efficiency and environmental sustainability, are incorporated into the perceptions and habits of their homeowners and reflected in the construction projects of their houses.Keywords: urbanization; slope; favela; elite; energy issues
