ENTREPRENEURSHIP ACTIVITIES AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP COMPETENCIES OF ESTONIAN UNIVERSITY GRADUATES FROM BIO-ECONOMY FIELDS
Authors: PÕDER Anne
Published: March 2018

Constant and rapid global economic and social developments and environmental processes create considerable new challenges, but also new opportunities for bio-economy. Entrepreneurs have a crucial role harnessing the new opportunities and addressing the challenges through innovation. The aim of the present paper is to study the entrepreneurship activities and entrepreneurial competencies of Estonian university graduates in the fields connected with bio-economy. The paper studies the data from a survey of three Estonian universities carried out in 2016 in the program “Systemic Development of Entrepreneurship education throughout all educational levels”. The analysis focuses on the share of entrepreneurs, assessments of the entrepreneurship competencies among the alumni, who graduated university in the fields of agriculture, forestry, fisheries; life-sciences, and veterinary medicine, and on their comparison with alumni of the other curricula. Chi-square test, ANOVA are used the compare the entrepreneurship activities, competencies of alumni of different curricula. The results show that the graduates’ field of study had significant impact on their entrepreneurship activities after the graduation, and on the attainment of entrepreneurship competencies. A quarter of the agriculture, forestry and fisheries, and a fifth of veterinary alumni were entrepreneurs, although a significantly smaller share of them in comparison with graduates of other fields had received entrepreneurship education during their studies. The share of entrepreneurs was lowest among all the fields of study in case of life-sciences alumni. The study demonstrates the need to integrate entrepreneurship education into the agricultural and life-sciences education and to address the attainment of key competencies in university’s curricula.

Authors: BALODE Ilze , VINTERE Anna , RIMKUVIENĖ Daiva , ARUVEE Eve
Published: March 2018

Mathematical competence is one of the eight basic key competencies which are defined by EU Directives. Mathematical competence includes the skills of applying basic processes and principles of mathematics in everyday contexts. The aim of current research is to identify the role of adult mathematics education and mathematical competence in sustainable development in case of Baltic States. We are continuing the investigations that began in the Nordplus research project “Cooperation to strengthen the citizens' math skills in the context of sustainable development and welfare”. The main objective of the research is to highlight the role of mathematics in a lifelong context. We separate two aspects of mathematics role in sustainable development. The first considers mathematics as a tool in processional work, the second considers the role of mathematical competence in the development of person's intelligence and personality. Both aspects are widely discussed in the scientific literature and in the programmatic documents of United Nations, United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organizationn, Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development. Through combining insights of theoretical goals of leading international institutions and actual survey data we can show the value of mathematical competence in adults in the Baltic states.
LEADER APPROACH IN ESTONIA: SEVEN KEY ELEMENTS IN THE LOCAL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES AND IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF LEADER
Authors: MÕTTE Mati , PRITS Maret , ARO Kersti
Published: March 2018

The present paper focuses on the two questions concerning the strategic planning of rural development and implementation of the LEADER approach. Firstly, which of the seven key elements of the LEADER approach are valued more than others? Secondly, how does the implementation of local development strategies (LDS) through the action of projects reflect the social innovation element? The empirical study is based on assessment documents of LDS of the two funding periods and qualitative analysis of focus group interviews. The results of the study show how well the strategies entail the seven key elements during the period 2007−2013 and period 2014−2020. Also it is investigated how well the seven key principles in the LEADER approach is implemented. Through the applied study significant changes are visible, but the contents of the LDSs do not reflect all the seven key elements in the equal extent. The evaluation of the period 2007-2013 highlighted that the most attention has been given to area-based approach, also to bottom up approach and to implementation of innovative approach. The study shows weakly addressed the formulation of common vision for some sectors, but also has been difficult to give sense to the element of innovation. The output of the research is providing a suitable knowledge for decision makers to implement the key elements in the best possible way that in turn will reflect by implemented project.
THE COUNTERPOINT OF EARTH AND WORLD MEANINGS IN THE NATIONAL IDENTITY’ EXPRESSION
Authors: ČIULDĖ Edvardas , STEIKŪNIENĖ Asta
Published: March 2018

The meanings of the earth and the world can be associated with issues of national identity. In the article, the issues of fostering national identity are discussed in the context of M. Heidegger's philosophy‘s outlook on a land and world disputes. The article tries to define how much a nation can be an object of scientific cognition. Understanding the nation as a resistance to limiting objectification is a methodological background to the development of the topic, which obliges the philosophical interpretation of the problem to be trusted, at least as a scientific reduction of the problem. Sketches of the earth and the world we use as a kind of catalysts of intellectual imagination and methodological guides.
The main aim of the article is the attempt to analyze the conditions of the expression of the national identity in terms of both the subject matter and the non-objective reflection, where different approaches complement each other (what we call by the term "counterpoint", borrowed from the theory of music). The collision of national identities through Martin Heidegger's typology of images has not been examined before. There are also discussed the untapped reserves for nurturing Lithuanian identity - both spiritual and economic. The aim is to refine the political awareness of the Public Treaty model raised by the Enlightenment thinkers.
Land is an important factor in the economic development of a so ciety and the object of economic exploitation, but, more importantly, it is a standpoint in establishing and maintaining the nation's vitality. The dispute between the earth and the world which foster the thesis of national identity acquires the essence of the truth of being.
HOW CAN SOLIDARITY IN A COMMUNITY IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE?
Authors: KUHN Elvira
Published: March 2018

Our thesis states that the social capital can increase through establishing a union of solidarity. By achieving this, we will not only create new places of employment, support, acceptance, friends and social relationships, but also gain additional knowledge and build networks. We show that the quality of life will be influenced by solidarity by discussing different projects. At first, we discuss concepts like acceptance, network, knowledge in the context of solidarity, as well as quality of life. After establishing the definitions, we allocate to these terms different criteria, which will be the foundation of examining the success of the projects. Hereby the items of investigation for each project are the objectives, the proposed solutions and alternative routes for achieving the goals, as well as the achieved level of solidarity. Substantial influencing values, obstructive or conducive, are carved out and named, leading to applicable commendations. At last, we show the possibilities to augment the solidarity of rural areas by using information systems, as well as consider the limitations. In conclusion, we discuss the effects of staying together on the quality of life. In the analysis of the exemplary projects, the diversity of approaches is surprising: it spans from the establishment of a special office in the administration, to the communal plantation of fruits and vegetables for their own needs, to the sharing of knowledge or the locating of new partners for cooperation through networking. Eventually, essential determining factors for the success of solidarity in communities are the establishment of a common culture, shared interests and a well-functioning communication.

Published: March 2018

The quality assessment of accounting information systems (AIS) is complicated and important for scientific investigation. From theoretical point of view the difficulties lies in big amount of methods, proposed for AIS quality assessment. From practical points of view most of proposed methods are not suitable in particular situation and it is difficult to eliminate the subjectivity of respondents, participating in the survey. In the stage of monographic research it was made analysis of scientific publications, dealing with understanding of AIS quality in face with technological progress of information and communication technologies (ICT) and changing of requirements, declared by end-users. In the stage of empirical investigation it was provided questioning of specialists, participating in accounting data processing using three different kinds of applied software and working in small and medium size agri-food enterprises in Slovak Republic. For processing of received data it was used method of multi-criteria evaluation. Following results of investigation and recommendations provided in standard ISO/IEC 25041:2012 and previous scientific publications it was made assessment of quality of investigated systems, identified strengths and weaknesses of these systems and reliability of investigation.
SINGULARITY OF SUSTAINABLE TAXATION IN AGRICULTURE
Authors: BESUSPARIENĖ Erika
Published: March 2018

Agricultural sector is different from industrial or service sectors due to its specific functions, i.e. food function, social function, economic situation on country growth function, environmental function. These functions of agricultural sector include three dimensions (economic, social, environmental), which are closely connected with the conception of sustainable development. Therefore, the taxation system of agricultural sector has been orientated to sustainability. The research direction of sustainable taxation is relevant. This research direction leads to opportunities to find the sustainable taxation system effect to the sustainable development of agriculture.
The paper aims at disclosing the singularity of sustainable taxation in agriculture. To investigate the theoretical aspect of the specificity of agricultural business in the context of taxation and singularity of sustainable taxation, systemic analysis and synthesis of theoretical insights of foreign and local scientific literature as well as the methods of induction and deduction have been applied. Theoretical research results helped to identify singularity of sustainable taxation in agriculture, which encompasses three dimensions (economic, social, environmental) with different characteristics. This taxation system contributes to the goals of the development of sustainable agriculture.
DEVELOPING MARKETING STRATEGIES FOR FOOD DIVERSITY: A CASE-STUDY IN NORTHERN PORTUGAL
Authors: Dinis Isabel , Mendes-Moreira Pedro , Padel Susanne
Published: March 2018

Vale do Sousa is a heterogeneous territory located in the North Region of Portugal. Until a few decades ago, the economy was based on small-scale farming with maize for bread (Broa) as one important crop. Each community had its own maize varieties and practices, which were reflected in the composition, shape, size and flavour of local Broa. In the last decades, the abandonment of agriculture was noticeable, leading to a progressive decrease in maize production and to genetic erosion. More recently, local stakeholders became aware of the important role that landraces and biodiverse food can play in local development and have engaged in finding new opportunities for a sustainable Broa value chain development in Vale do Sousa region. This paper aims at identifying opportunities and bottlenecks in the marketing of regional Broa. It uses a case study approach that, unlike the majority of the research in this area, covers the whole supply chain and includes needs and expectations of farmers, processors, consumers and their networks.
The main problem identified by local actors is that traditional varieties are less productive, leading farmers to favour commercial maize varieties less suitable for baking. At the processing level, local actors raised the question of legislation, arguing that, in Portugal, European rules on food safety are not realistically applied to endogenous food products. The results also show that final consumers as well as restaurants recognize the quality of traditional Broa and seem to be willing to pay a price premium to reward farmers for using traditional varieties.
SPATIAL DIFFERENCES IN ABSORPTION OF 2007-2015 EU FUNDING
FOR UTILIZATION OF CULTURAL ASSETS IN NORTHERN POLAND
Authors: Poweska Halina
Published: March 2018

The utilization of the European Union financial resources by territorial self-govenment units in Northern Poland fosters the process of
reconstruction and management of cultural heritage assets and their adaptation to the realization of social and economic tasks and
functions. The aim of the paper is to present the ways of spending EU financial resources earmarked for the purposes related to cultural
assets in rural areas of Northern Poland against a background of the remaining spatial categories (the voivodship in its entirety, the
metropolitan area of the voivodship, towns with district rights, counties) encompassing three voivodships: Zachodniopomorskie,
Pomorskie and Kujawsko-Pomorskie. The survey was conducted over the period 2007-2015 using the SIMIK Database of the Ministry
of Infrastructure and Development of the Republic of Poland. The analysis conducted in the paper allowed us to conclude that projects
which were carried out in rural areas constituted approximately 20 % of the overall expenditure on ”cultural” projects in the region.
Both in the voivodship as a whole as well as in rural areas, in all voivodships the chief purposes encompassed cultural objects and
assets as well as sport and tourism infrastructure. On the other hand, tourism product, promotion and information were much less
frequently co-financed from EU Fund in Northern Poland in the years 2007-2015.
PUBLIC FOOD PROCUREMENT – THE SITUATION IN LATVIA
Authors: KRIVAŠONOKA Inita , ZVIRBULE Andra
Published: March 2018

One of the most important medium-term tasks in Latvia is the promotion of production and consumption of local food through implementing measures aimed at increasing the market share of food products produced in Latvia in public procurement and consumption.
The research aim is to examine the situation of public food procurement in Latvia and assess the changes of local products share in public food procurement.
In Latvia, at the end of 2014, in response to Russia's embargo on the Latvian-produced food products and to promote local food consumption in the country was accepted new Regulations. These Regulations prescribe the requirements for public procurement using environmental criteria, and their application, as well as the applicable tender selection criteria for the food supply and catering contracts.
This contributed an increase of the quantity of purchases where ZPP criteria were used, thereby also increased the share of local production. The purchase of food from local farmers positively affects local entrepreneurship, while providing a significant income source for the local farmers; in this way, the viability of many small local agricultural holdings is maintained.
Research methods used: monographic, descriptive, analysis, synthesis, statistical analysis. The present research was performed based on the statistical data, research papers and other information sources.
FRAMEWORK OF VOCATIONAL SCHOOL AND UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES TEACHER ACTIVITIES: MOTIVATIONAL FACTORS, PROFESSIONAL ROLES AND APPLICATION OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES IN CORRELATION WITH PERSONALITY TRAITS
Authors: DAUKILAS Sigitas , KEIBIENĖ Rita
Published: March 2018

The relevance of this research is based on the standpoint of the epistemological methodology focusing on the quality of the profession cognition. Therefore, it is presumed that the quality of vocational education is determined by the variable personality traits of teachers (extraversion, openness towards experience and innovation, consciousness, agreeableness, neuroticism). The research object of the current study is the correlation between the personality traits of university of applied sciences teachers and vocational teachers and the curriculum components. The research aims at identifying the correlation between the motives of vocational school and university of applied sciences teacher activities, educational technologies they use, professional roles and their personality traits, as well as identifying the essential differences of the mentioned variables. The quantitative and qualitative research strategies were employed allowing the researchers to perceive and assess the parameters of the correlation between the professional identity of teachers, meaningfulness in pedagogical work, motivation and educational content.
The research results revealed that the social, extrinsic, introjected and identified regulation motivation in vocational schools and universities of applied sciences vary considerably; in universities of applied sciences social and identified regulation motivations manifest themselves, whereas in vocational schools a lot of demotivating factors related to the problems of vocational student identity, career prestige of a vocational teacher and external motivation, are observed. The role of vocational school and university of applied sciences teachers in the didactic process also varies: university of applied sciences lecturers identify themselves in the position of the teacher-andragogue, whereas vocational school teachers see their role as a professional (expert). Moreover, the principles of social constructivism in pedagogy and andragogy are more effective among university of applied sciences lecturers, while vocational school teachers often have to rely on the behaviouristic principles of pedagogy for educational assessment and the enhancement of student motivation.
PARTICULARITIES OF AGRICULTURE DEVELOPMENT IN THE BLACK FOREST: CLIMATE CHANGE AND MANAGEMENT ASPECTS
Authors: ATKOČIŪNIENĖ Vilma , MOHAMMED Shaik Ilyas
Published: March 2018

The current European Union’s and state agricultural support is more focused on the modernization of farms in technological terms, coupled with the intensification of production, and weakly focused on the farm exclusivity and diversification. This creates a minor motivation for farmers to address the issues related to climate change mitigation. The main attention in the article is concentrated on two themes: climate change and forest management. The main research methods were used: analysis and generalization of scientific literature, interview, logical and systematically reasoning, comparison, abstracts and other methods. The farms in the lower mountain ranges of Germany will change different climate conditions analyzed in the 2017 summer. Sustainable framing wide term in black forest, forest lands, organic farms, are depending or considering the climate cycles. In economic social conditions of Germany, black forest farming is so sensitive towards ancient methods of farming and their equations with the current environment. In simple terms, black forest sustainable framing is farming ecological by promoting methods and practices that are economically viable. It does not only particular about economic aspects of farming perhaps on the use of non-renewable factors in the process of thoughtful and effective farming. Agriculture land of Black Forest contributes to the nutrient and healthy food to reach high standard of living of the black forest society.
EMPLOYMENT IN VS. EDUCATION FOR THE BIOECONOMY
Authors: DREJERSKA Nina
Published: March 2018

A number of employees is one of the basic indicators applied for identification of the economic relevance of an industry or an economic sector. Referring to nearly 18.6 million people employed in the 28 EU Member States within the bioeconomy in 2014, it can be stated that this a an economic sphere of significant importance in the European economy. The main aims of the study are to identify a scale of employment in the bioeconomy sector across EU Member States as well as to investigate tertiary education in bioeconomy based on the Polish experience in the Bioeconomy subject area group within the Euroleague for Life Sciences (ELLS). Data used included: (1) the data portal of agro-economics modelling – DataM of the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission, (2) CAWI research among students of WULS-SGGW on their attitudes to the bioeconomy, (3) feedback of participants of the first summer school in bioeconomy coordinated by WULS-SGGW. Research results display that the majority of Polish students did not meet the term of bioeconomy generally as well as at the university. There is also one very important students’ comment which can describe their attitude: students of economic disciplines are not very much interested as they think that bioeconomy focuses on life sciences (bio) so it is not appropriate for them; students of different fields of life sciences are not very keen to study bioeconomy as according to them it focuses on economy (as in the name itself).
WOMEN PARTICIPATION IN LOCAL AUTHORITIES MANAGEMENT IN RURAL AREAS IN POLAND
Authors: DANILOWSKA Alina
Published: March 2018

The aim of the paper is to evaluate the scope and determinants of women participation in basic local authorities in rural areas in Poland. In the paper the detailed analysis on the problem were carried out on 5% of women and 5% of men headed rural gminas. The analysis showed that the women participation in top positions in governing bodies of local communities in Poland is low. It indicates the existence of the severe problem with women promotion to the top positions in decision bodies in politics. The luck of differences in women role betwee rural and urban communities is a very interesting result. Gminas managed by women are rather smaller than gminas administered by men. In many gminas the position of women at the village level is higher than at gmina level. The findings suggest the connection between activity of women at village level and women position as mayor. Moreover, the investigation showed that in rural gminas women prevail in important back-office positions like main secretary of the gmina office and chief aaccountant. So, women are familiar with their gminas problems, are involved in management of them but they don’t apply for top positions. It seems that the concept of labyrinth can be applicable to the situation of women in decision making bodies in rural areas in Poland.
Współpraca organów korporacyjnych spółki giełdowej z biegłym rewidentem jako element realizacji dobrych praktyk
Authors: Buk Halina
Published: March 2018

Polish Financial Supervision Authority and the Warsaw Stock Exchange have for several years been promoting the rules of good practice and their use by public interest entities. Practice shows that more and more large entities systematically use good practices, with some exceptions. The article examines the cooperation that occurs between corporate organs of the companies and auditors, presenting it as an important factor in corporate governance. In the recommended principles this area is treated as being of secondary importance. For the audit committee, it is only monitoring and coordinating the process of auditing financial statements that are recommended. Auditing committees are created only when there are more than five members sitting on the supervisory board. However, the majority of Polish companies have five-member boards. The conclusion, therefore, is that cooperation between corporate management boards and auditors is very restricted.

Published: March 2018

In order to repair surface damage to airport pavements quickly and efficiently, surface-strengthening materials are applied to the surface of the concrete to improve its durability. In the current study, several materials, namely concrete protectant, polyurea, epoxy resin and silane, were applied to concrete samples in various amounts. One-sided freeze–thaw cycle experiments, wear tests and flame ablation tests, along with scanning electron microscopy to observe morphologies, were carried out on these four coatings and the uncoated samples to determine the best material for strengthening runway concrete. Results showed that polyurea had excellent wear resistance and poor flame ablation resistance. The epoxy resin had good resistance to freeze–thaw cycles and flame ablation, but had poor wear resistance. The protective layer of silane reduced the loss by freeze–thaw by 66% compared with non-coated samples, the relative dynamic elastic modulus increased by 64·8% and the unit area wear quality decreased by 41%, and there was no obvious damage to the samples after flame ablation. Silane is the most suitable material for surface improvement of the airport concrete pavement, with an optimum dosage of 4 m2/kg.

RAIONISMO: LUZ NA TELA, SOMBRA NA LITERATURA
Authors: Derze Farlley
Published: March 2018

Este estudo é sobre a representação da luz na pintura ocidental. Tem seu foco na pintura de um movimento russo, do século XX, denominado Raionismo. Por ser classificado na literatura como arte não-figurativa, buscou-se identificar se seria a primeira expressão pictórica nãofigurativa na Rússia. Descobrir como a literatura aborda o Raionismo foi objetivo desse estudo. A metodologia foi a pesquisa bibliográfica e iconográfica, com base em literatura traduzida para o português e publicada no Brasil, e livros editados em francês. Trinta livros foram pesquisados e apenas dez trataram do Raionismo. Concluiu-se que o Raionismo foi o primeiro movimento russo a apresentar uma pintura não-figurativa, sem a tradição de uma narrativa.
PÁTIO INTERNO – ARQUITETURA DA MANDALA
Authors: Pereira Monise Campos
Published: March 2018

O presente artigo trata do pátio interno como um arquétipo de mandala. Apenas a discussão tipológica não cumpre o entendimento suficiente deste espaço. Isso, somado ao fato de o pátio interno estar presente na arquitetura de diversas civilizações e em toda linha histórica temporal que se tem conhecimento de forma incisivamente repetitiva, conduz à interpretação de que se trata de um arquétipo (tomando-se o conceito de Jung). O pátio interno é analisado como um fruto de noções e expectativas inconscientes que se manifestam coletivamente nas buscas intrínsecas do indivíduo para o seu posicionamento no mundo. E é então interpretado como uma expressão simbólica – a mandala – como meio de atingir um estado de introspecção.
O INFERNO NA ARTE: A PAISAGEM
Authors: Dutra Sérgio Rizo
Published: March 2018

As origens remotas do Inferno cristão encontram-se nas religiões indo-europeias, amalgamadas posteriormente às vertentes clássicas das mitologias gregas e romanas, e mais tarde ainda às correntes monoteístas dos povos hebreus. Neste imenso caldeirão de influências e mudanças culturais toma corpo o Inferno do cristianismo, que desde o seu início divide-se entre o oriente, onde ocorre sua formação propriamente dita, e o ocidente, onde acontece a sua propagação de fato. Produto sincrético de sociedades diferenciadas, o Inferno cristão foi uma construção histórica e religiosa de considerável aspecto heterogêneo, ambíguo, e de rica interpretação simbólica. A ambiguidade relaciona-se à adoção, pelo cristianismo, de um princípio geral de oposição entre o bem e o mal, personificado em Deus e o Demônio.

O FECHAMENTO DO PERISTILO DO TEMPLO CLÁSSICO DE ATENA E SUA REUTILIZAÇÃO COMO TEMPLO CRISTÃO DEDICADO A MARIA
Authors: Coutinho Luciano
Published: March 2018

Muitos templos clássicos dedicados a Atena foram, nos primeiros séculos da Idade Média, adaptados e transformados em templos cristãos, dedicados a Maria. Para tanto, o peristilo do templo clássico é fechado, e o templo perde sua abertura para a realidade externa. O templo cristão torna-se essencialmente um espaço de convivência, e os fiéis passam a praticar seus cultos na parte interior do templo. A realidade externa ao templo é condenada a um tipo de não-realidade, e apenas a realidade interna, sustentada pela estética cristã, é fundamentada como única realidade possível para a purificação do fiel. Nesta realidade estética, a amamentação de Maria ao menino Jesus torna-se modelo de nutrição da alma para a preparação do fiel em sua vida no espaço de não-realidade, e também para o merecimento para a eternidade da alma.
VERDADE E FLECHAS NA RETÓRICA E NA ESTÉTICA DOS ANTIGOS PERSAS
Authors: Fernandes Edrisi
Published: March 2018

Friedrich Nietzsche foi um filólogo e filósofo saxão que estudou muito a retórica dos antigos, e algumas de suas anotações (de 1872?) são conhecidas como Curso de Retórica. Em sua obra mais importante, Assim Falava Zaratustra (1885), por meio de seu personagem-título, Nietzsche dá voz a um profeta persa redivivo, que em certa passagem afirma: “'Dizer a verdade e saber manejar bem o arco e as flechas' - Isso parecia caro, ao mesmo tempo que difícil, para o povo donde vem o meu nome”. A afirmação de Zaratustra, ecoada por Nietzsche, fundamenta-se em Heródoto (Histórias, I.136), que disse que os persas ensinavam aos seus filhos apenas três preceitos: cavalgar, manejar o arco e flecha e dizer a verdade. Estudamos o Avesta (o livro mais sagrado do zoroastrismo), alguns textos da época Aquemênida, escritos em persa antigo (veteropersa), bem como algumas representações icônicas Aquemênidas, com a intenção de mostrar aquilo que os mesmos podem nos ensinar sobre a associação entre a verdade e as flechas na retórica e na estética dos antigos persas, devotos do deus Ahura-Mazdâ. Uma passagem do Avesta (com seu estrato mais antigo escrito numa língua iraniana oriental, o “avéstico”) vincula diretamente a verdade e as flechas quando elogia o (mítico) rei Vishtâspa, patrono de Zaratustra, como sendo “aquele que com arco e flecha procurou espaço para a Verdade, que com arco e flecha encontrou espaço para a Verdade, que concordou em ser o braço e o suporte da religião de Ahura [-Mazdâ], de Zaratustra” [Zam (Zamyâd) Yasht do Khorda (Pequeno) Avesta, 85 (Yasht, 19.85)]. Nesta investigação, analisamos o lugar privilegiado do conceito de Asha (“Verdade/Retidão/Ordem”) na religião zoroastriana e o emprego ideológico, retórico e estético de associações com esse conceito promovidas pelos soberanos Aquemênidas, e revisamos algumas passagens veteropersas e de Heródoto onde o antigo ato persa de disparar flechas tem vinculação com sua retórica.
O CORPO DANADO
Authors: Rizo Sergio
Published: March 2018

A representação do corpo humano tem sido um tema central na arte ocidental. Em consonância com esta tradição e desde os seus primórdios, o cristianismo utilizou um sistema de representações com base no corpo humano que enfatizou a relação problemática entre o corpo e a alma. A ambiguidade do corpo cristão dividido entre as forças do bem e do mal, premido entre o Paraíso e Inferno, deu origem a uma vasta produção de representações e metáforas relacionadas ao corpo humano na história dasartes visuais e literárias. O foco principal deste artigo é a maneira pela qual os corpos nus dos condenados são representados e relacionados com os corpos demoníacos no tema maior do Juízo Final e da sua categoria dependente, ou seja, a do Inferno. Uma história das representações do corpo nas imagens do Inferno feita a partir de uma concepção teocêntrica e medieval do mundo, que concebeu um corpo miserável  em oposição à alma divina , e que vai ao humanismo contagioso da Renascença, quando as representações do corpo humano noInferno , às vezes eróticas , eram de fato belas,devido à influência da Antiguidade e aos novos estudos sobre anatomia humana,elaborados pelos seus artistas.

O HOMEM POLÍTICO E SUA LEITURA NO MITO DE CRONOS NO DIÁLOGO O POLÍTICO DE PLATÃO
Authors: Carvalho Tiago De
Published: March 2018

A realeza é singularmente considerada a marca adjetiva de um rei. A realeza para Platão é sempre um conceito mais amplo, principalmente quando a voz de Sócrates em sua dialética estabelece o princípio das múltiplas possibilidades de olhar sobre um objeto. No caso do diálogo conhecido como O Político (Da realeza), é possível encontrar a leitura de uma outra forma de olhar para aquilo que é próprio do rei, e lhe pertence desde o nascimento, o seu estado de realeza, como também aproximar esta realeza de uma variante de conhecimento, sensibilidade e educação para governar. O mito de Cronos é neste sentido a chave da alusão de Platão para tal objeto. Discutir sua interpretação no diálogo pode nos levar ao que Aristóteles depois estabeleceria mais do que a realeza, o papel do Estadista, como homo politicus.
A VIRALIDADE METAFÍSICA
Authors: Vermeire Simona
Published: March 2018

A autorreplicação como funcionamento profundo de qualquer mecanismo viral constitui um cenário omnipresente que perfila as representações literárias da maioria dos textos de José Saramago. Numa atitude lúdica predileta para a desconstrução pós-moderna e as suas visões tecnologizadas específicas ao pós-humanismo, a imortalidade torna-se possível no romance As Intermitências da morte apenas num plano de indeterminação somática. Comutar esta experiência com a morte e a morte de novo com o horizonte da imortalidade, em processos de irrupção epidémica, seria um bom pretexto de reflexão sobre a nossa finitude e a possível eternização do corpo ameaçado pela indeterminação metafísica. O escritor propõe novos cenários transcendentais a partir destes quiasmos entre a morte e a imortalidade para questionar o potencial regularizador do ser através da morte, tanto em termos ontológicos, metafísicos, sociais e económicos. O nosso intuito é de ler este romance como diálogo metafísico entre a viralidade de ser e a viralidade de não ser, dois fluxos epidémicos  deturpando-se um ao outro através das possibilidades tecnológicas atuais  aludidas neste processo de alcançar uma possível eternidade do corpo, mas não isento de sofrimento e degradação.
METAFÍSICA DA MORTE
Authors: Oliveira Leonardo
Published: March 2018

O fenômeno da modernidade alterou o curso previamente seguido pela morte. Em séculos anteriores morria-se na familiaridade do próprio lar e o morrer adquiria caráter de espetáculo, que era acompanhado pela  comunidade dos vivos. Após o século XX a morte tornou-se fria, distante e impessoal. A busca pelo sentido do ser, no entanto, permaneceu basicamente imutável; uma vez que o Dasein é um “ser/estar-para-a morte”, faz-se inerente ao homem a elaboração de questionamentos ontológicos, que podem originar angústia e negação. No presente artigo busca-se compreender, de modo geral, a relação entre o Dasein heideggeriano e o fenômeno da morte, partindo-se da ideia de que tal associação se trata de  uma realidade metafísica.

Tomando como ponto de partida um trecho do texto “Paris, capital do século XIX”, de Walter Benjamin, pretende-se abordar alguns pontos da questão da identidade arquitetônica das cidades, em função do desenvolvimento moderno, e a perda da aura, não mais do indivíduo, como expõe Benjamin, mas a perda da aura da cidade.
FINGIMENTO, MIMESE E VERDADE NA LITERATURA: LISBOA, A CIDADE DE ULISSES
Authors: Ribeiro Lúcia Helena Marques
Published: March 2018

A Arte não significa imitação do mundo exterior, mas fornece possíveis interpretações do real. O mito canaliza as ações para o significado humano de uma experiência existencial imaginária, objeto de uma interpretação possível. Este texto tem por objetivo propor uma reflexão sobre o papel da literatura como arte mediadora entre o mito, o homem e a sua história. Para tanto, revê essas questões na literatura portuguesa através da obra A cidade de Ulisses da autora Teolinda Gersão.
Typology of cattle farms in the northern regions of Cameroon
Authors: Kouamo Justin , Pa-ana Paul
Published: March 2018

The aim of this study was to establish the typology of cattle farms in the northern regions of Cameroon in order to reveal structural and functional characteristics that could be selected for an artificial insemination program. A survey was carried out among 54 breeders. The results showed that the farmers were predominantly of the Fulani ethnic group (81.5%) with men prevailing (92.6%). Their levels of education were primary (31.5%), secondary (18.5%), and higher (25.9%). They were involved in full-time agricultural production activity (42.6%), cattle breeding and agropastoralism. Civil servants represented more than a third of the sample. The genetic structure of the herds was dominated by local breeds: 53.7% Gudali zebus, 44.4% Djafoun and 5.6% Akou. In addition, 44.4% of them bred crossbreeds and 16.7% Holsteins. A multiple correspondence analysis was performed to determine the typology of the farms studied. Based on the structural (herd size, forage area, dairy productivity per cow per day, and related infrastructure) and functional (feeding, herd management, technological choice) characteristics of the farms, three types were identified. Type I breeders (37%) practiced the extensive system, and type II breeders (18.5%) the semi-intensive system. They were present in the Adamawa region and preferred natural mating (56%) and artificial insemination (100%), respectively, as a reproductive means. Type III breeders (44.5%) practiced the semi-extensive system. They were only present in the North and Far North regions and preferred (98%) natural mating as a reproductive means. Type II farmers were located in Vina Division (Adamawa) and they offered the best potentialities with the practice of artificial insemination. They may be considered as pilot for the revival of the dairy sector in this part of Cameroon.

Les perspectives de développement de l’élevage caprin semblent favorables en République démocratique du Congo. La connaissance des caractéristiques de l’élevage de la chèvre locale par les éleveurs est un facteur très important pour maîtriser sa production et la favoriser. L’objectif de cette étude a été d’améliorer la productivité de la chèvre locale de Mbanza-Ngungu en accroissant la connaissance de ses performances reproductives. Pour atteindre cet objectif, les données ont été collectées par observation directe des chèvres. Ces données ont permis de calculer par simulation les paramètres de reproduction et de dynamique de la population sur une période de cinq ans. L’étude a montré la pertinence du modèle pour simuler les caractères de reproduction de la chèvre de Mbanza-Ngungu et qu’il est inutile de garder les chèvres plus de cinq ans.
