Authors: Tudor Ion , Predețeanu Daniela Ileana , Picu Cătălina , State Cristina
Published: September 2020

Our study is about the perception of people towards volunteering, in order to propose solutions to improve the management for the sustainability of social economy enterprises. The question we want to answer in our paper is about the availability for participation in voluntary activities to ensure the sustainability of social economy enterprise. This question became the main objective of our study. To answer this question we conducted a survey based on a questionnaire in a micro-community from the Centre Region of Romania. Combining the quantitative and qualitative methods, thus ensuring the in-depth interpretation of the study results, the work hypotheses were tested with the IBM Statistics and AtlasTi applications. The results of our study confirm that the subjects surveyed are willing to take the responsibility of engaging in volunteering for the benefit of individuals or the community, thereby contributing to the creation of tangible economic and social values for the community. Finally we conclude that involving individuals in volunteering activities can be an valuable piece of information for the managers of social enterprises when it comes to taking the adequate strategic decisions, so as to obtain a competitive advantage that can be materialized in the utility of the work, the personal satisfaction as a result of work done, the integration into community etc.

Inclusion and Equality in Contemporary Urban Housing: The Case of Riga
Authors: Freimane Santa
Published: September 2020

The residential environment plays a significant role in a city’s sustainable development. It should also contribute to inclusion and equality in the socio-cultural dimension. Each year in Riga, capital city of Latvia, new residential developments appear. Little is known about how these developments contribute to the overall goal of sustainability, especially in terms of inclusion and equality. This research focuses on several issues related to inclusion and equality in Riga’s 21st century residential developments, with the aim of gaining a deeper understanding of current trends as well as possible evolution. Theoretical methods include analysis of urban and architectural plans, legislation, strategies, development programmes and other documented sources. Empirical methods include field studies and the analysis of statistical and sociological data. The major findings indicate that the first steps towards sustainable urbanism have been taken. However, isolation, creation of gated communities, urban fragmentation and segregation have led to a mediocre situation in terms of inclusion and equality. The current situation should be improved in order to increase the quality of life of all citizens and to contribute to the goal of sustainable development. Keywords: residential environment; inclusion and equality; sustainable urbanism; housing developments

Corporate Social Responsibility in the Development of Territorial Communities of Ukraine
Authors: Chyzh Vira , Sakhno Tetiana
Published: September 2020

Main modern society trends tend to transfer a number of government functions to business structures. Accordingly, discussions about the social dialogue between government and business are being arisen in the scientific community. Therefore, there is the enhanced relevance of the problem of social partnership among government, business, and employees. This requires the development of various versions of the corporate social responsibility concept. The article deals with the problem of an integrated approach to the essence of corporate social responsibility. Enterprises and authorities of territorial communities characterized by conflicting interests are determined to be the economic agents of corporate social responsibility. To reach the consensus between them, a system of corporate social responsibility management is proposed. To determine the impact of business entities on the development of territorial communities of Ukraine in the direction of improving the economic security of the territory as part of the social responsibility of modern business, the main structural activity indicators of business entities in Cherkasy region are analyzed. The results of the analysis revealed many problems in assessing such impacts. These are the absence of unified forms of social non-financial reporting as well as a non-systemic enterprise engagement in the development of the territory. To quantify the impact of business entities, an integrated impact coefficient of social responsibility of an individual business structure on the development of the territorial community is proposed. The coefficient determines the impact of the business structure on the economic growth of the territorial community, the environmental situation in the region, the level and the quality of life. Keywords: social responsibility, socially responsible business, territorial community, non-financial reporting
Tourism as Intercultural Business: Locating Concepts and Questioning Identities
Authors: Sarmento Clara
Published: September 2020

This paper approaches the topic of tourism as a global intercultural business, resorting to notions of culture, identity, representation and territory, among other concepts used in intercultural studies. Studying global tourism not only means thinking about it in terms of the world’s economy, but also regarding issues of identity and difference, representation, heritage, history and transformation of geographic spaces into significant places. Exploring tourism as a world cultural phenomenon is a way of associating it with the ever-polemic concept of globalization, often understood as a manifestation of Western dominance. Thus, this paper will also address matters of ethics, power and cultural hegemony.

Addressing tourism as an intercultural business is both an opportunity and a challenge. The opportunity to develop routes of cultural tourism while empowering and engaging communities in the protection of cultural heritage; the challenge to enhance sustainable tourism, with an impact on employment, economic growth, poverty reduction, environmental protection and the general preservation of authenticity in culture and heritage. By recognizing the value of different sections of the community, cultural resources and heritage that could otherwise be seen as ordinary become exceptional. And the exceptional is what tourists seek, as opposed to the commonplace routine of everyday life.

Authors: Druzhynina Viktoriia , Likhonosova Ganna , Lutsenko Galyna , Lutsenko Galyna
Published: September 2020

The potential of using information technology for socio-economic development of the country and the life quality of every citizen is quite significant now in Ukraine. The aim of the article is to study the modern possibilities of using information technologies, namely, adaptations of accounting and analytical support in the conditions of diffusion of socio-economic values to increase the welfare of the population. The methods of divergence and convergence, rationality and irrationality were used in the work - to search for effective tools for regulating national and international financial relations in Ukraine in the context of the challenges of globalization; methods of analysis of cognitive data – to determine the forms and directions of digital hygiene in Ukrainian society; conceptualization of consequences and the duality of assessing results - to illustrate the reflection of the current state of development of the analytical basis and levelling Ukraine’s dependence on financial hedonism, which currently prevails in the world. Specific areas of application of innovative technologies are proposed, such as tourism services and hotel and restaurant business. Ensuring the competitiveness of national industries as a result of their use of innovative behaviour and the development of new technologies and the accumulation by economically active subjects of innovative knowledge and empirical skills ensures the introduction of new information technologies in various spheres of human life, with no exception of tourism and restaurant industry. The modern industry of restaurant and tourism business has been actively using specialized software and global computer networks in recent years to increase the efficiency of the placement and search of information, the activation of promotion and services marketing, and the improvement of the quality of customer service, as this is an important condition for the quality of such services. Thus, integration aspirations in the global socio-economic system should be supplemented by facilitating access to advanced information technologies within the country itself. This is a necessary condition for the process of diffusion of socio-economic development and innovative knowledge that should be accumulated in the country.

Environmental Ethics and Environmental Governance for Security in Africa
Authors: Ikeke Mark Omorovie
Published: September 2020

The paper argues that an important aspect of security is environmental security. Without environmental security every other form of security is impeded. There need to be effective environmental governance if there is to be stable environmental security. The paper equally argues that environmental governance should be based on non-anthropocentric environmental ethics. Environmental governance is here understood to imply bringing human and governmental policies and legal frameworks to bear on the management of environmental resources. All over Africa there are a lot of environmental problems such as resource conflicts, climate change, desertification, deforestation, gas flaring, etc. These problems have to be eradicated for the good of the biotic community. This is why the paper is advocating for non-anthropocentric environmental ethics. The paper uses critical hermeneutic/analytic methods to examine the issues. The paper concludes that environmental governance informed by non-anthropocentric environmental ethics is a quintessential for security of lives/ properties in Africa.

The Urban-rural Continuum: A New Approach to the Future Planning for Rural China
Authors: Lin Mao
Published: September 2020

China’s urbanization has brought benefits to cities, but the price is the deterioration of the urban ecological environment. As a result of long-term urban-rural dualism, China has actively supported cities, and then cities have occupied nature-based rural areas. Even though China has been aware of the ecological deterioration and has issued rural ecological policies, there is still the existing contradiction between urban expansion and rural protection development. China’s future planning will place greater emphasis on rural areas, and people have just entered the exploration phase. In this regard, the theory of “the urban-rural continuum” proposed by an American anthropologist William Skinner is extended to the field of architecture and planning to explore a sustainable method of urban-rural development. It offers a spatial model to describe China’s traditional social structure, from villages to cities, combined by the community of a standard market town.  It underlies a polycentric model with a communal structure that can further balance the urban-rural relationships and realize the sustainable development in the countryside.

Published: September 2020

Еducation for sustainable development shows all the necessary from sustainable development concept in unity of ecologic, social-cultural, and economic spheres. The reduction of education for sustainable development to the issue of environmental education poses a threat to the values ​​associated with the humanistic interpretation of education. Firstly, it is the absolutization of environmental values and the lack of effective synthesis of these values with social values, and economic values partly. Secondly, there is a lack of needs and values of teachers and value-methodological principles of integration of environmental and humanistic values. Thirdly, to a large extent on the periphery of education for sustainable development are the problems of transformation of society itself, social relations, culture, ways of communication, interaction of people with each other, as well as the emotional component of such interaction. One of the possible ways to solve these problems can be considered the formation of new, more adapted to the needs of sustainable development of value-cognitive characteristics of teachers. The new model of education should provide a focus on people as the main object of sustainable development, subordinating value changes to the task of socialization and humanization of social development, taking into account environmental constraints. Based on the results of the study, it is necessary to pay attention to the development of social intelligence, emotional intelligence, communicative intelligence and practical intelligence. For more adequate training of professionals in the field of education for sustainable development, it is advisable to expand cooperation with governmental and non-governmental organizations.

Authors: Kudeikina Inga , Kaija Sandra
Published: September 2020

The right of a person to a fair trial is absolute. This right has a long democratic history, without which no democratic society can be imagined. Without this constitutional scope, the right to a fair trial is the basis for the sustainable development of society, as it ensures legal stability. Litigation in the cassation instance is on the top of right-to-court pyramid. The cassation instance is the last instance in the national judicial system, the decisions of the cassation instance are not subject to appeal; secondly, the court ruling in the cassation instance constitute case law, which is an important auxiliary source of law. This confirms that litigation in the cassation instance is one of the most important tools in securing the right to have a court hearing. The extent of the quality of the legal framework regulating cassation litigation points to the right to a fair trial overall. The study focuses on the issues of cassation litigation. The issues of the right of parties to file a cassation appeal (cassation protest) in civil and criminal cases as well as the jurisdiction of the court in deciding the admissibility of a cassation appeal (cassation protest) are analyzed within the multidisciplinary perspective. The aim of the research is to study the legal framework, which determines the right of a party to submit a cassation appeal (cassation protest) in civil and criminal case in the context of court jurisdiction, when deciding on whether to adopt it in order to make proposals for enhancement of the legal framework. There were used the descriptive, analytical and deduction-induction methods as well as the methods of interpretation of legal norms. Using these methods, legislation and the views of legal scholars were analyzed, and conclusions were drawn.

Criteria for Assessing the Energy-Ecological Effectiveness of using the Sludge of Waste Treatment Plants as Components of Liquid Composite Fuels
Authors: Suvorova Iryna , Kravchenko Oleh , Goman Vitalii , Baranov Ihor
Published: September 2020

The challenging issues in the sustainable development of a state currently are the problems of protecting the environment from contamination, increasing the capacity of systems for recycling and reusing water, and the development of resource saving and non-waste technologies. The authors have developed and introduced the technology of hydrocavitation activation of liquid hydrocarbons to create composite fuels that can contain off-spec hydrocarbons, including stale fuel oil, oil tanker outwashes, stillage bottoms, coal, bio mass, industrial wastes and the sludge of wastewater treatment plants. The main criteria were defined for assessing the energy-ecological effectiveness of using sludge in municipal wastewater as a component of composite fuels. The criteria are as follows: the calorific capacity of the fuel mixture, the energy effectiveness of its use as an energy resource, consumer properties, and the environmental performance of combusting this kind of fuel. Using these criteria during the production and combustion of composite fuels obtained with hydrocavitation activation allows producing high-quality fuel mixtures with specified thermophysical and consumer properties. This opens the prospects of more effective usage of hydrocarbon resources and of solving simultaneously two problems: the production of surplus energy and environmental load reduction during the disposal and neutralisation of moisture-containing waste.

Youth Organizations’ Promotion of Education for Sustainable Development Competencies: A Case Study
Authors: Kieu Thi Kinh , Singer Jane
Published: September 2020

This paper details how two popular non-formal actors at Vietnamese universities, the Youth Union and youth environmental clubs, promote engagement by student teachers in sustainability. Though their activities were found to have enhanced students’ awareness of environment and sustainability, there remain two categories of constraints, internal and external, preventing students from proactive performance in sustainability. Based on an analysis of each organization’s strength and weaknesses, and on students’ demands, the authors suggest four steps to improve sustainability planning, including establishment of a hub of sustainability promotion, fostering sustainability leadership, conceiving a systematic action plan, and creating a communication network to promote students’ active efforts towards sustainability

Authors: Wellbrock Wanja , Ludin Daniela , Müller Erika , Weiß Maximilian , Zeh Matthias , Gerstlberger Wolfgang
Published: September 2020

Actually, discussions about a prohibition of fireworks are becoming more and more fluent. This topic is discussed in this paper in an empirically comprehensible manner, including sustainability aspects. The aim of the paper is to determine to what extent fireworks are harmful to people and the environment and under what circumstances citizens are prepared to dispense New Year's Eve fireworks. At the same time, it is unclear who is responsible for these issues. Politics are often blamed for solving problems like this, especially when there is no clear opinion in society. On the other hand, political intervention is in clear conflict with the free market economy and the independent economic actions of individuals. The study is based on a survey carried out in the city of Schwäbisch Hall. A valid database was created to achieve trustful data. The definition of concrete recommendations for action that can be applied in Schwäbisch Hall is another result of this paper.

Interrelation of the recessive allele frequency at woman for a migrating population with inbreeding factor and standard parameter of selection was found.
Suboccipital Decompression for Occipital Neuralgia
Authors: Trescot Andrea , Racz Gabor , Nagy Laszlo
Published: September 2020

Cervicogenic headaches are a significant cause of head and neck pain, and occipital neuralgia is a common component of these cervicogenic headaches. Occipital injections are commonly performed at the occipital ridge, but this site does not address more proximal entrapments of the nerve in the suboccipital region. Because of the potentially dangerous structures in this region, clinicians have tended to avoid the suboccipital region, despite the pathologies seen in this region. This article discusses the pathology of the region, the alternative techniques, and the novel interventional approach developed for this region, specifically the “Stealth” approach of occipital decompression.
(Re)descobrindo Saussure no Ensino de Língua Portuguesa: práticas de letramentos à luz dos signos saussurianos
Authors: Machado Julio Cesar , Machado Livian Aparecida Corsi
Published: September 2020

O objeto de estudo dessa pesquisa desenha-se no imbricamento entre a teoria saussuriana do signo e os processos de letramento na aula de língua portuguesa. Neste vértice, propomos nossa maximus hipotesis: revisitar a teoria saussuriana, de aprofundamento imperativo no Brasil, refletindo-a enquanto procedimentos de letramento. Procederemos analiticamente por uma abordagem de metodologia bibliográfica, de cunho teórico e teor qualitativo: nossos dados, de cunho indagatórios, serão operados respaldados em duas obras teóricas póstumas de Saussure: Cours de Linguistique Générale, sem precedentes da aplicação profunda à área do ensino; e a muito recente publicação dos Écrits de Linguistique Générale, ainda desconhecida ou sequer abordada no cenário pedagógico brasileiro, e por isso, de necessidade reflexiva imperiosa nas dimensões da alfabetização e letramento brasileiros. Os resultados analíticos apontam para a eficácia da teoria saussuriana enquanto procedimentos para letramentos em aulas de língua portuguesa, e suscitam a perspectiva de outras pesquisas exploratórias nessa direção.
Primeiro contato com o Ensino Médio Integrado: um confronto entre docentes licenciados e docentes bacharéis
Authors: Marques Welisson , Melo Sthéfany Araújo , Pereira Otaviano José
Published: September 2020

A história do Ensino Médio Integrado (EMI) se iniciou em 1909 por meio das antigas Escolas de Aprendizes Artífices e, atualmente, compõe a Rede Federal de Educação Profissional, Científica e Tecnológica (RFEPCT). Este artigo é resultado de uma pesquisa que objetivou investigar, por meio de entrevistas individuais com 16 docentes efetivos do IFTM Campus Uberlândia, quando foi o primeiro contato com essa forma de ensino. A base teórica deste artigo percorreu alguns documentos e marcos legislativos e se apoiou ainda em Ramos (2008) e Frigotto, Ciavatta e Ramos (2012). As entrevistas foram realizadas no mês de novembro de 2018, dentro dos limites físicos do próprio IFTM Campus Uberlândia. A escolha dos 16 docentes entrevistados aconteceu por conveniência e pela análise de seus currículos cadastrados na Plataforma Lattes, a fim de selecionar primeiramente aqueles que apresentassem formação acadêmica apenas em licenciatura ou apenas em bacharelado. Como resultado da pesquisa, identificamos que 15 docentes, dentre os 16 entrevistados, conheceram o EMI apenas durante a preparação para o concurso público na RFEPCT. Outrossim, todos os 16 docentes afirmaram não terem vivenciado nenhum estudo ou discussão acadêmica sobre EMI ou Educação Profissional durante a graduação. Dessa forma, não identificamos distinções entre docentes licenciados e docentes bacharéis quanto ao seu primeiro contato com o EMI e ainda quanto ao conhecimento porventura compartilhado durante a sua formação acadêmica. Tudo isso nos revela ser a expansão e divulgação da Rede Federal insuficiente a fim de difundir dentre a sociedade os reais objetivos de uma formação integrada.

Published: September 2020

Este artigo apresenta uma proposta para avaliar a interação oral, no contexto de ensino-aprendizagem de Língua Espanhola (LE). Dada à dificuldade de professores em avaliar essa habilidade comunicativa, especialmente na modalidade de Cursos Livres, oferecidos em instituições de ensino brasileiras, foi desenvolvida uma proposta estruturada em três fases: compilação de uma Matriz de descritores para avaliar a interação oral em LE; elaboração de uma atividade didática, com ênfase na imersão comunicativa e tecnológica e construção de uma rubrica para autoavaliação. Os procedimentos metodológicos compreendem uma revisão bibliográfica e análise por meio de um Estudo de Caso, realizado com estudantes de espanhol, de nível intermediário, com o objetivo de identificar as principais contribuições e limitações encontradas. Os resultados indicam que a proposta contribuiu para fomentar a autoavaliação do próprio aprendizado e possibilitar a identificação dos níveis de desempenho, evidenciando a fluência e a pronúncia como os critérios de maior dificuldade para os estudantes.
Use of the Alaskan Beaufort Sea by Bowhead Whales (Balaena mysticetus) Tagged with Satellite Transmitters, 2006 – 18

Published: September 2020

We used satellite telemetry to examine bowhead whale movement behavior, residence times, and dive behavior in the Alaskan Beaufort Sea, 2006 – 18. We explored the timing and duration of use of three subregions (western, central, eastern) within the Alaskan Beaufort Sea and applied a two-state switching state-space model to infer bowhead whale behavior state as either transiting or lingering. Transiting whales made direct movements whereas lingering whales changed direction frequently and were presumably feeding. In spring, whales migrated across the Alaskan Beaufort Sea in 7.17 ± 0.41 days, primarily off the continental shelf over deep water. During the autumn migration, whales spent over twice as much time crossing the Alaskan Beaufort Sea than in spring, averaging 18.66 ± 2.30 days, spending 10.05 ± 1.22 days in the western subregion near Point Barrow. Most whales remained on the shelf during the autumn migration and frequently dove to the seafloor, where they spent 45% of their time regardless of behavioral state. Consistent dive behavior in autumn suggests that the whales were looking for food while migrating, and the identification of lingering locations likely reflects feeding. The lack of lingering locations in the eastern and central subregions suggests that prey densities are rarely sufficient to warrant whales pausing their migration for multiple days, unlike in the western subregion near Point Barrow, where bowhead whales regularly lingered for long periods of time.

Todo ser humano está vulnerável a presenciar e/ou viver um desastre, sendo ele ocasionado pelo homem ou pela força da natureza. Em consequência, os desastres requerem provisões emergenciais para auxiliar as pessoas, levando em consideração as diversas perdas ocorridas. Assim, torna-se importante compreender a logística humanitária de forma holística e a gestão ambiental a ela associada. Este estudo apresenta uma análise das iniciativas associadas às operações humanitárias, dos indicadores ambientais e como eles se relacionam. No que concerne ao método, a pesquisa é baseada em uma revisão de escopo, seguida por uma revisão sistemática de literatura (RSL). Verificou-se que a temática na área de logística humanitária é ainda um desafio, com forte presença da relação entre indicadores ambientais e práticas humanitárias. Pode-se ressaltar os indicadores ambientais de reciclagem e as características do produto como os mais correlacionados às práticas de logística humanitária selecionadas da literatura; todavia, alguns indicadores não foram mencionados, como o desmatamento ilegal, quantidade de água, consumo de água, resíduos sólidos, reflorestamento e ameaças à conservação da floresta. A partir desses resultados, pode-se concluir que, embora indicadores de desempenho ambiental sejam de extrema relevância, nem todos os indicadores podem ser atribuídos às iniciativas de logística humanitária, incitando diversas oportunidades para pesquisas futuras.

The results showed that the regulatory policy (formulation) on poverty alleviation through DBHCHT management in each region was different. This can lead to optimal management of DBHCHT because it is strong enough to involve all stakeholders in poverty alleviation while still relying on how the work of SKPD-SKPD, community and private sector to be actively involved.
