Published: July 2020

Considering the students’ emotion is essential in having the students to learn. Most Minangkabaunese students do not like being dictated for any activities with a thousand words. This paper is aimed at finding out some techniques of using intertextuality to balance lecturer-students’ power relations when communicating learning tasks. This research is qualitative with content analysis. Data were collected from six lecturers, teaching at Sekolah Tinggi Keguruandan Ilmu Pendidikan, Persatuan Guru Republik Indonesia (STKIP PGRI), selected purposively. Techniques of observation and video recording were used in collecting data. The discourse was transcribed and categorized into some techniques of using examples based on the content called content analysis.A contextual analysis was used to show lecturer-students’ power relations and formulated proposition.   Findings show that the techniques of using intertextuality includeShowing Techniques of Doing Tasks (STDT), Giving Example of the Task Topic (GETT), and UERS. Using STDT  had an impact on students’ readiness to learn. Meanwhile, Using GETT enhances students’ language development. Finally, Using Example of Real Situations (UERS)  gives students’ opportunity to have a learning experience. Moreover, the techniquescause the lecturer and students to have a balanced power relation. The findings are significant for teachers or lecturers as guidance to communicate with students efficiently and effectively. They are expected not to dominate communication when interacting with them, especially to those who have excessive individualism. Other researchers who are interested in studying this topic are expected to be inspired to research this area viewed from other viewpoints.

Published: July 2020

This study aims to investigate code mixing and code switching used by English teachers in EFL classrooms. There are two major focuses in this study; the type of dominant code mixing and code switching used by the teachers. A qualitative study was used where the data were teachers’ language classroom gained by observing their classroom practices and utterances obtained through in-depth interviews. The result shows that there were three kinds of code mixing found in teachers’ and students’ utterances in EFL classroom. They were intra-sentential code mixing, intra-lexical code mixing, and pronunciation shifting. The study also found that there were four kinds of code switching found in teachers’ and students’ utterances. They were random mixing, English-Indonesian translation or vice versa, English precedes Indonesian or vice versa, and English sentences precede Indonesian sentences or vice versa. It indicated that code mixing and code switching cannot be separated in English language teaching and learning process. This study has proved that the English teachers used code mixing and code switching in teaching speaking in some types.

“How Well Do I Know You?”: Intersubjective Perspectives in Music Therapy When Working with Persons with Profound Intellectual and Multiple Disability
Authors: Kantor Jiří
Published: July 2020

The limited possibilities of understanding the inner reality of people with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (PIMD) pose strong barriers for the development of a therapeutic relationship. Based on reflection on practice this contribution describes how music can be used for the realisation of continuous, attuned and harmoniously intertwined interactions that enable to gain deeper understanding of the person with PIMD and identify his/her positive personality traits. These reflections may be grounded in the theoretical framework of intersubjective communication. The author describes the role of music in both short-term and long-term interactions and discusses the benefits of music therapy for people with PIMD as well as for the interdisciplinary team support.
The Impact of Singing Engagement on Food Intake of Individuals with Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias: A Multi-site, Repeated Measures Study
Authors: Hiller James
Published: July 2020

Malnutrition among older adults with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) is a serious and long-recognized health concern. Identifying nonpharmacological means for enhancing the volume of nutrition intake is an urgent need. Researchers have explored the use of music and music therapy as nonpharmacological avenues in this regard, but most music-based studies related to food intake focus on receptive interventions wherein participants are exposed to recorded music during meal times. The purpose of the present research is to investigate whether residents with ADRD would significantly increase their volume of food intake during the midday meal immediately following 30 minutes of active singing engagement facilitated by a board-certified music therapist (MT-BC). Results indicated no significant change in food intake for participants with ADRD in three long-term care facilities. However, the unintended finding at two facilities wherein participants’ food intake was greater during baseline weeks versus treatment weeks led to speculation about the impact of serotonin which researchers report is released during enjoyable music engagement episodes, but that has also long been recognized as an appetite suppressant. With this newly interpreted finding, recommendation is offered for monitoring when music therapy is provided for individuals with ADRD and nutritional complications relative to their meal times toward minimizing potential adverse effects.

RESUMO Objetivo Padronizar os parâmetros de latência e amplitude obtidos com o estímulo Ichirp de banda estreita, na pesquisa dos potenciais evocados auditivos de tronco encefálico nas frequências de 500 Hz, 1 kHz, 2 kHz e 4 kHz. Métodos O estudo foi realizado na Divisão de Saúde Auditiva do Hospital de Reabilitação de Anomalias Craniofaciais, da Universidade de São Paulo. Participaram 20 adultos ouvintes normais, na faixa etária de 18 a 35 anos. Todos os participantes foram submetidos à audiometria tonal limiar, logoaudiometria, imitanciometria e aos potenciais evocados auditivos de tronco encefálico, pesquisados com o estímulo Ichirp de banda estreita, nas frequências de 500 Hz, 1 kHz, 2 kHz e 4 kHz. Resultados Em todas as frequências avaliadas foi observada a função latência-intensidade, ou seja, o aumento na latência da onda V, na medida em que a intensidade do estímulo foi diminuída, bem como a diminuição na latência da onda V com o aumento da frequência avaliada. Além disso, verificou-se a redução na amplitude da onda V com a diminuição da intensidade do estímulo. Constatou-se o nível mínimo de resposta, em todas as frequências, em níveis inferiores aos valores sugeridos pela literatura como critério de normalidade no registro dos potenciais evocados auditivos de tronco encefálico de frequência específica, sendo os maiores valores nas frequências de 500 Hz e 1 kHz. Conclusão Foram obtidos os valores de referência de normalidade para os potenciais evocados auditivos de tronco encefálico em adultos ouvintes normais com o estímulo Ichirp, valores estes que podem contribuir para o aprimoramento do exame, na prática clínica.

Published: July 2020

Abstract: Aim The aim of this study was to determine the diversity of Trichoptera in subtropical streams and the effects of environmental variables and geographical position on alpha and beta diversity in natural and rural streams. Methods We collected Trichoptera with a Surber sampler in 12 small order subtropical streams (six streams with apparent absence of anthropic disturbance and six streams with rural activity in their drainage areas) and measured limnological variables. We evaluated the effects of environmental variability and geographical distance on the dissimilarity of the assemblage and calculated the contribution of alpha and beta diversity for each stream. Results We collected a total of 1,264 Trichoptera larvae distributed in 17 genera and 11 families. The genera Phylloicus and Smicridea were found in almost all streams. We observed a positive effect of environmental variability on biological variability but not of geographical distance. The environmental variability was basically generated by the influence of higher concentrations of dissolved organic carbon and nutrients. We observed the greatest contribution of the alpha diversity of the Trichoptera assemblages in natural streams and of beta diversity in the rural streams. Conclusions Our results demonstrate that the variability of Trichoptera is affected by environmental characteristics, but not by geographical position.

Lessons Learned

Treatment with the Aurora kinase A inhibitor yields often durable disease control, but limited tumor regression, in heavily pretreated patients with unresectable malignant pleural or peritoneal mesothelioma. In a limited sample size, MYC copy-number gain or gene amplification, a candidate predictive biomarker for alisertib, did not correlate with improved response numbers or patient outcomes.

Background

Malignant mesothelioma is an aggressive disease for which few effective therapies are available. The Aurora family kinases are critical for mitotic fidelity and highly expressed in mesothelioma, wherein their inhibition leads to growth arrest in vitro. We evaluated the efficacy of alisertib, an Aurora A kinase inhibitor, in relapsed malignant mesothelioma.

Methods

Twenty-six patients with previously treated, unresectable pleural or peritoneal mesothelioma were enrolled on a single-arm, single-institution phase II trial of alisertib at a dosage of 50 mg twice daily for 7 of every 21 days. The primary endpoint was 4-month disease control rate. Secondary endpoints included overall response rate, progression free survival, overall survival, safety/toxicity, and correlation of endpoints with MYC copy number.

Results

Of the 25 evaluable patients treated on study, 8 (32%) experienced 4-month disease control, surpassing the futility endpoint. There were no confirmed partial or complete responses. Median progression-free and overall survival were 2.8 months and 6.3 months, respectively. No associations between MYC copy number and outcomes were observed.

Conclusion

Alisertib has modest activity in this unselected malignant mesothelioma population. Several patients achieved durable disease control. Although the study did meet its prespecified futility endpoint, the sponsor elected to close the trial at the interim analysis.
The particle-size sieving technique to remediate Pb- and Cu-contaminated agricultural soil
Authors: Chang Jih-Hsing , Wang Yong-Li , Dong Cheng-Di , Shen Shan-Yi
Published: July 2020

In order to find a cost-effective remediation to treat lead (Pb)- and copper (Cu)-contaminated agricultural soil, the particle-size sieving technique (PST) combined with the replacement of clean sands was employed in this study. The speciation and removal efficiency of lead and copper in the contaminated soil were investigated. The sieving separation was carried out by dry sieving (screening sizes ranging from 4.000 to 0.025 mm) and wet sieving (three different sizes of 2.000–0.053, 0.053–0.002 and <0.002 mm). The results indicate that the organic and exchangeable species concentration of heavy metals in the contaminated soil is proportional to the organic matter and water content of the soil. The concentration of heavy metals is unrelated to particle sizes greater than 0.053 mm soil under the dry-sieving PST. For soil particles of size 2.000–0.053 mm, the heavy-metal concentration of soil treated by the dry-sieving PST is higher than that of the wet-sieving PST because the dry-sieving PST cannot separate finer soil particles (<0.053 mm) completely. Both dry- and wet-sieving PSTs with replacement of clean sands can decrease the heavy-metal concentration of the contaminated soil dramatically, and the remediated soil has the potential to be restored to its cultivation function.

The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has posed severe threats to humans and the geoenvironment. The findings of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (Sars-CoV-2) traces in waste water and the practice of disinfecting outdoor spaces in several cities in the world, which can result into the entry of disinfectants and their by-products into storm drainage systems and their subsequent discharge into rivers and coastal waters, raise the issue of environmental, ecological and public health effects. The aims of the current paper are to investigate the potential of water and waste water to operate as transmission routes for Sars-CoV-2 and the risks of this to public health and the geoenvironment. Additionally, several developing countries are characterised by low water-related disaster resilience and low household water security, with measures for protection of water resources and technologies for clean water and sanitation being substandard or not in place. To mitigate the impact of the pandemic in such cases, practical recommendations are provided herein. The paper calls for the enhancement of research into the migration mechanisms of viruses in various media, as well as in the formation of trihalomethanes and other disinfectant by-products in the geoenvironment, in order to develop robust solutions to combat the effects of the current and future pandemics.
How Correlated is LIBOR with Bank Funding Costs?

Published: July 2020

In a recent article in the BIS Quarterly Review, authors Schrimpf and Sushko (2019) provide an overview of the LIBOR transition to risk-free rates led by the FSB Official Sector Steering Group (OSSG). They also argue that rates like LIBOR may be desirable because banks “require a lending benchmark that behaves not too differently from the rates at which they raise funding.”
Households' Balance Sheets and the Effect of Fiscal Policy
Authors: Bosca Jose E. , Ferri Javier , Andres Javier , Fuentes-Albero Cristina
Published: July 2020

Using households' balance sheet composition in the Panel Survey of Income Dynamics, we identify six household types. Since 1999, there has been a decline in the share of patient households and an increase in the share of impatient households with negative wealth. Using a six-agent New Keynesian model with search and matching frictions, we explore how changes in households' shares affect the transmission of government spending shocks. We show that the relative share of households in the left tail of the wealth distribution plays a key role in the aggregate marginal propensity to consume, the magnitude of fiscal multipliers, and the distributional consequences of government spending shocks. While the output and consumption multipliers are positively correlated with the share of households with negative wealth, the size of the employment multiplier is negatively correlated. Moreover, our calibrated model can deliver jobless fiscal expansions.
The Shift from Active to Passive Investing: Potential Risks to Financial Stability?
Authors: Kruttli Mathias , Osambela Emilio , Anadu Kenechukwu , McCabe Patrick
Published: July 2020

The past couple of decades have seen a significant shift in assets from active to passive investment strategies. We examine the potential effects of this shift for financial stability through four different channels: (1) effects on investment funds’ liquidity transformation and redemption risks; (2) passive strategies that amplify market volatility; (3) increases in asset-management industry concentration; and (4) the effects on valuations, volatility, and comovement of assets that are included in indexes. Overall, the shift from active to passive investment strategies appears to be increasing some types of risk while diminishing others: The shift has probably reduced liquidity transformation risks, although some passive strategies amplify market volatility, and passive-fund growth is increasing asset-management industry concentration. We find mixed evidence that passive investing is contributing to the comovement of asset returns and liquidity.

Published: July 2020

O artigo analisa as articulações recentes entre as ações de descentralização estadual e federal no planejamento e na execução de políticas públicas de desenvolvimento rural em diferentes institucionalidades do Território Meio Oeste Contestado. A pesquisa se pautou em documentos oficiais, na literatura científica e em 125 entrevistas efetuadas entre 2014 e 2016 com administradores municipais e estaduais, gestores de órgãos intermunicipais, e sociedade civil. Com base na tipologia de descentralização administrativa do Estado, evidenciou-se que as iniciativas federal e estadual se restringiram a uma descentralização de tipo territorial e funcional (setorial), enfrentando resistências para serem implementadas. Ademais, há pouca articulação institucional entre a política federal de territorialização e os órgãos responsáveis pelo processo de descentralização estadual.
A Child-Directed Music Curriculum in the Montessori Classroom
Authors: Dansereau Diana R. , Wyman Brooke
Published: July 2020

Maria Montessori strongly advocated for music learning to be fully integrated into the classroom; however, many Montessori classrooms are dominated by materials aimed at developing children’s visual sense. The purpose of this critical participatory action research (CPAR) study was to address this perceived learning disparity by developing and implementing a curriculum that is consistent with the Montessori approach, child directed, and focused on sound examination and music learning. We designed six shelf works and offered them, over the course of 6 CPAR cycles, to 20 3- to 6-year-old children attending a Montessori school. Findings from qualitative and quantitative data indicate that the children received the works positively, chose to engage with them, became more confident in their musical tasks over time, showed signs of deep concentration and attention, and demonstrated consistent performance across similar tasks related to perception and cognition. We conclude that the presence of these 6 curricular works began to disrupt the perceived learning disparity we identified; however, more can be done to understand and change the classroom practices that support that disparity.
Prototipado rápido en la fabricación de moldes impresos en 3D para soplado de plástico
Authors: Carrillo Gilberto , Nuila Carolina , Laínez Jorge
Published: July 2020

En la industria salvadoreña pueden encontrarse empresarios y microempresarios que no tienen los recursos para fabricar botellas de plástico con diseños estilizados que los diferencien de otras marcas y productos, lo que les impide escalar a otros segmentos de mercado o mercados internacionales, frenando el crecimiento de sus negocios. Una posible causa es que la fabricación de moldes de soplado requiere una inversión inicial muy costosa. Sin embargo, existen alternativas como la fabricación de moldes de bajo rendimiento, que tienen una resolución más baja y un tiempo de vida más corto, pero, al mismo tiempo, ofrecen como beneficio un menor costo de fabricación y, por lo tanto, un menor costo de adquisición para el empresario, posibilitando la producción de botellas estilizadas a conveniencia. Entre las diversas formas de fabricar moldes de bajo rendimiento está la técnica de ingeniería inversa, que requiere un equipo de creación rápida de prototipos. Este artículo describe el procedimiento de ingeniería inversa para generar el molde para soplado. Con el diseño disponible se imprimió el molde necesario y con esto se fabricaron las botellas, que se escanearon para verificar con el programa de computadora sus dimensiones comparándolas con el archivo original del molde. Simultáneamente, los contenedores se verificaron en el laboratorio de metrología industrial para validar los resultados de la computadora, estos resultados se presentan en el documento.

This protocol details recommendations for collecting and processing saliva for SARS-CoV-2 detection, as used in Wyllie et al. 2020, which details results of testing saliva collected from COVID-19+ inpatients and asymptomatic healthcare workers. COVID-19 inpatients. Saliva samples were self-collected by the patient. Upon waking, patients were asked to avoid food, water and brushing of teeth until the sample was collected. Patients were asked to repeatedly spit into a sterile 90 mL specimen collection cup until roughly a quarter full of liquid (excluding bubbles), before securely closing it. For patients unable to provide saliva (such as those on mechanical ventilation), clinical teams were advised that suction could be used to collect saliva into the cup (or a sputum trap container for improved containment and safety). Collected volumes ranged from 0.5 - 20 mL. All saliva samples were stored at room temperature and transported to the research lab at the Yale School of Public Health within 5 hours of collection, with RNA for SARS-CoV-2 detection extracted within 12 hours of collection. When possible, saliva samples were stored at +4°C, otherwise they were kept at room temperature. Asymptomatic healthcare workers. Asymptomatic healthcare workers were asked to collect ~10 mL of saliva into a sterile specimen collection cup. No specific instructions were given regarding food intake etc prior to collection. Samples were delivered to the research lab at the Yale School of Public Health within 6 hours of collection and stored for up to 6 hours at +4°C until aliquoting for RNA extraction. Samples collected on overnight shifts were stored at +4°C before delivery to the research lab.
Optimization of Electric Grids with Stochastic Elements
Authors: Domyshev Alexander V.
Published: July 2020

The paper proposes a methodology for modeling and optimization of electric grids with stochastic elements. The stochastic properties of modern electric grids and electric grids of the near future are associated with the development of Smart Grids. Electric vehicles are especially good at highlighting the problems that arise when modeling smart grids. Therefore, the optimization algorithm is described by the example of a urban electric grid with the presence of charging stations for electric vehicles and storage devices using V2G technology. The author has proposed a two-level optimization algorithm. At the lower level of the algorithm, the problem of optimizing the economic efficiency of the charge and power output in the case of connecting the EV using V2G technology is solved. At the top level, the optimization problem is considered from the point of view of the grid company. Much attention is paid to the problem of dynamic optimization of electric grid with stochastic elements, since this task is relevant for the automatic and automated control of normal modes of EPS. The proposed methodology for modeling and optimization of electric grids with stochastic elements is implemented as embedded software and can be used in automatic optimal and emergency control systems
Master’s degrees in the Spanish university system: assessing the virtualization of online courses
Authors: Mahou-Lago Xosé-Mª , López Viso Mónica , Varela-Álvarez Enrique José
Published: July 2020

This paper presents the results of a study on the academic management of online master’s degrees taught at Spanish attendance-based state universities. The study focused on the analysis of the distance learning modality to establish a typology of courses and their degree of virtualization. To gather data, a heuristic test was designed consisting of four fundamental dimensions: type of online learning platform, course description regarding the learning modality, simultaneity with other modalities, and the degree of virtualization. The results show that due to the lack of conceptual clarification, more than 60% of the masters offer a blended modality because they require the physical presence of the student at some point in the learning process.

Published: July 2020

Las salidas educativas al entorno tienen un enorme potencial por su carácter motivador y porque contextualizan el aprendizaje del alumnado con su vida cotidiana. En muchas ocasiones los centros educativos no incluyen este tipo de recurso en su oferta formativa o las ofrece sin un sentido didáctico. La presente investigación pretende visibilizar la incidencia de una salida en el cambio de percepción del entorno próximo en profesores en formación. La metodología utilizada es un estudio exploratorio con un diseño de tipo pre test, tratamiento, post test. Las primeras conclusiones indican que hay un cambio de una percepción más idealizada a una más realista entre este profesorado.
Hidro-diplomacia y soberanía nacional en el acuífero guaraní: ¿fracaso de un intento de gestión transfronteriza por intereses geopolíticos divergentes?
Authors: Walschot Maureen
Published: July 2020

El Sistema Acuífero Guaraní es una masa de agua subterránea que se comparte entre Brasil, Argentina, Paraguay y Uruguay. Representa una importante fuente de agua potable renovable. El desarrollo económico, el crecimiento de la población y la exacerbación de la contaminación están ejerciendo presión sobre el acuífero. En respuesta a estos problemas, los cuatro gobiernos interesados han intentado desarrollar un marco legal e institucional adecuado para garantizar una gestión eficaz y sostenible. Las cuatro partes firmaron el Acuerdo del Acuífero Guaraní el 2 de agosto de 2010. Nueve años después de la firma del tratado, éste ha resultado en un simple esqueleto legal, al no haber dado lugar a un verdadero foro de cooperación. Este artículo analiza las herramientas institucionales y legales disponibles para las partes, así como los intereses geopolíticos que han impedido el establecimiento de una gestión integrada, sostenible y eficiente de las aguas del Sistema Acuífero Guaraní.
Ambigüedad institucional y normativa en la gestión y garantía del derecho humano al agua en Costa Rica: ¿agua para quién?
Authors: Garcia Fonseca Tanya , Carazo Vargas Eva
Published: July 2020

Se profundiza en el reto de garantizar el acceso al agua como un derecho humano y bien común, en un contexto de ambigüedad institucional y normativa, e incremento de la conflictividad socioambiental. Parafraseando el 56º Congreso Internacional de Americanistas, este caso expresa conflictos territoriales y multiescalares en que el agua es objeto de confrontación política. Aunque el derecho humano al agua se ha reconocido como universal en declaraciones internacionales, esa garantía aún no es real: la ciudadanía costarricense lidia con amenazas a su calidad de vida, un Estado inoperante para fiscalizar el cumplimiento de leyes existentes, y empresas extractivas que depredan impunemente el ambiente. Este artículo manifiesta la necesidad de una nueva Ley de Aguas que reconozca y operativice el derecho humano al agua potable y saneamiento, ordenando la institucionalidad y creando mecanismos para garantizar la disponibilidad, cantidad, calidad y accesibilidad del agua.

O turismo histórico-cultural versa sobre a relação entre o contato do turista com o patrimônio artístico e arquitetônico, bem como festas tradicionais e arte contemporânea. Ao realizar um levantamento bibliométrico observou-se que estudos brasileiros sobre a temática ainda são escassos. No âmbito mundial, eles abordam a temática sobre destinos específicos, não sobre a gestão desse tipo de turismo. Considerando-se o exposto, no presente trabalho, objetivou-se compreender a visão de uma instituição privada sobre o turismo histórico-cultural e também como se promove esse tipo de turismo. A empresa escolhida foi o SESC-MG, instituição privada e mantida pelos empresários do comércio do estado de Minas Gerais. A metodologia aplicada foi o estudo de caso, possibilitado por meio de uma entrevista em profundidade realizada com a gerente de turismo social de Minas Gerais e seguido por uma análise de conteúdo. Os resultados apontam o potencial dos destinos turísticos de Minas Gerais, que, no entanto, são subaproveitados, carecendo de fomentos. A internet mostrou-se preponderante na promoção desse tipo de turismo, assim como o conhecimento profundo sobre os consumidores para a gestão do processo.

Neste trabalho, apresentam-se os resultados de uma pesquisa-ação que implementa uma trilha de hiking na comunidade negra de Caiana dos Matias, uma área de Quilombolas. Objetiva-se analisar a competitividade para a oferta de hiking como produto turístico rural nessa comunidade localizada no município de Serra Redonda/Paraíba, Brasil. Trata-se de um projeto que buscou alinhar a cultura e os recursos locais para o desenvolvimento regional. Na fundamentação teórica, discute-se o hiking como atividade turística organizada, conceitos, benefícios e desvantagens. O estudo é qualitativo, utilizando-se o método de pesquisa-ação participante tendo como amostragem os participantes da 1.a caminhada cultural/ecológica de Serra Redonda/PB. Os dados foram coletados por meio de três fontes de evidências: questionários, aplicados presencialmente, observação participativa e entrevistas com órgãos e pessoas relacionadas com o estudo. Os resultados mostram um potencial turístico relacionado com recursos naturais e culturais, e que o perfil de hikers está menos relacionado com o perfil de esportistas e mais com o turismo sustentável As trilhas de hiking como produto turístico, na região estudada, tem o apoio do Poder Público e da comunidade local; portanto a consolidação como destino hiking pode trazer benefícios tanto para a comunidade local, quanto para os hikers.

Nos últimos anos, a cidade do Rio de Janeiro tem sido centro de uma série de eventos internacionais, tendo-se tornado a principal sede da Copa do Mundo 2014. Com base nisso, no presente estudo, investigamos como o papel do Rio de Janeiro enquanto cidade-sede da Copa do Mundo de 2014 foi significado por atores sociais da cidade. Para essa finalidade, acessamos as opiniões e os posicionamentos de cidadãos cariocas comuns e os de associações civis locais organizadas para monitorar a realização da Copa do Mundo. Como dados informativos, realizamos entrevistas e levantamos documentos que escrutinamos por meio de uma Análise de Discurso Foucaultiana. A noção foucaultiana de estética da existência serviu, assim, de lente teórica para a interpretação dos resultados que revelaram o entendimento da busca do Rio de Janeiro para inserir-se num contexto cultural e econômico globalizado, sem perder de vista traços que lhe são particulares e entendidos como valorizados mundialmente. Por outro lado, a cidade é vista como representativa do Brasil nessas duas frentes.

Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar a produção cientifica nacional acerca do tema Clusters Turísticos. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de caráter bibliométrico e documental, sendo que o material analisado se refere aos artigos publicados em periódicos científicos nacionais. Utilizou-se a base de dados CAPES nos estratos A1 à B3, conforme Qualis-Capes até o ano de 2017, obtendo-se um total de 23 artigos relacionados. A análise possibilitou identificar características das publicações quanto as abordagens metodológicas e os métodos de pesquisa, os periódicos mais utilizados como meio de publicação, da mesma forma que os temas mais estudados. Se, por um lado, percebeu-se que existe uma tendência das pesquisas em empregarem abordagens teóricas com maior ênfase nas estratégias, ou seja, na formação dos aglomerados como estratégia de desenvolvimento local ou estratégias individuais das firmas nos aglomerados, por outro, constatou-se que nada foi pesquisado até o momento abordando Inovação e Tecnologia, da mesma forma que a Governança nestes aglomerados. Portanto, existe uma oportunidade para o avanço da pesquisa e para uma efetiva contribuição para o desenvolvimento da teoria.
Superando a arapuca do senso comum: turismo de ou em favelas? O caso Vidigal – RJ
Authors: Kalaoum Fausi
Published: July 2020

Esse trabalho tem como objetivo principal analisar o turismo que ocorre na favela do Vidigal e criar um contraponto que desmitifique o senso comum que tende a compreender esse tipo de atividade como uma segmentação turística: o turismo de favelas. A crítica construída nesse trabalho, se materializa a partir do entendimento generalizado, socialmente construído, de que o turismo de favelas ocorre quase que exclusivamente para o consumo de pobreza e miséria, muitas das vezes materializados nos jeep tours ou até mesmo em tours de experiência. Assim sendo, a construção de uma visão genérica sobre as favelas e seus produtos turísticos é minimizada e suas formações sociais, geográficas e especificidades ignoradas em prol da marginalidade e pobreza. Esse trabalho, de caráter qualitativo, se manifesta em uma pesquisa exploratória em que foram utilizados os seguintes métodos: a pesquisa bibliográfica que trate de favela e turismo; a observação em campo; a aplicação de entrevistas a moradores do morro. Como resultado, essa pesquisa indica que há, além de pobreza a ser consumida no Vidigal: o consumo turístico, que acontece de maneiras variadas, tais como a busca de aventura, festas e eventos e a inserção cultural.

Published: July 2020

A governança, como um modelo de gestão participativo, democrático e inclusivo, tornou-se, nas últimas décadas, um conceito amplamente difundido, sendo aplicado, também, ao contexto turístico como uma gestão responsável e inovadora. Neste contexto, este artigo tem como objetivo compreender o processo de governança na política de regionalização do turismo de Minas Gerais, tomando como foco o Circuito Turístico Caminho Novo (CTCN). Essa pesquisa partiu de uma abordagem qualitativa, abrangendo pesquisa bibliográfica e documental; e, entrevistas com representantes do referido circuito turístico. De acordo com os resultados, pode-se observar que o processo de governança proposto não se efetiva integralmente no âmbito do CTCN, sendo que somente algumas características da governança turística foram identificadas.

O Bonde de Santa Teresa constitui-se numa atração turística da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, e, embora tenha parte do seu trajeto inserido no Bairro de Santa Teresa, nota-se a sua relação com o bairro da Lapa. Em 2019, alcançou recorde de público, o posicionamento de uma atração turística para o desenvolvimento cultural de um território é um instrumento importante para o planejamento e a gestão do turismo, ainda mais quando o objetivo é inovar. Assim, o objetivo geral deste estudo é analisar o posicionamento do Bonde de Santa Teresa em relação ao bairro da Lapa na cidade do Rio de Janeiro (RJ) a partir de Online Travel Reviews (OTRs). Já os objetivos específicos são: compreender a relação entre turismo e bondes nas perspectivas do patrimônio e do desenvolvimento cultural, considerando dois aspectos, o cênico e o nostálgico; identificar a relevância dos OTRs para o posicionamento de atrações turísticas, considerando o planejamento e a gestão de destinos turísticos. O estudo é exploratório e descritivo, sendo realizado por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica e da composição de um corpus textual com “online travel reviews” (n=439) por website TripAdvisor, que foi analisado a partir do software Iramuteq (versão 0.7 alpha 2).  Os resultados indicam que existe uma relação evidente do Bonde com o bairro da Lapa, notadamente com os Arcos da Lapa e que este é considerado um passeio. Logo, inovações para o turismo na Lapa devem considerar o Bonde de Santa Teresa.
