OCCLUSION SCREENING USING 3D CITY MODELS AS A REFERENCE DATABASE FOR MOBILE AR-APPLICATIONS
Authors: Alfakhori M. , Dastageeri H. , Schneider S. , Coors V.
Published: October 2022

Abstract. Creating an immersive Augmented Reality (AR) experience requires aligning the digital content with the real environment so that the digital content appears and interacts in a similar way to a real object. For that, the virtual object must persist in its position across sessions and be occluded completely or partly, depending on whether a real-world object is in the line of sight. This research makes use of the cutting-edge technology available in the field of AR/MR, the Microsoft HoloLens 2.0, where the in-device Time of Flight (ToF) camera is used to scan the environment to create a Spatial Map. The CityGML LOD1 model enriches the Spatial Map and, in addition, is used as an occlusion mask via a custom rendering pipeline. Spatial Anchors can be tracked using the Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) technique, used in conjunction with World Locking Tools to anchor the whole scene to the real-world coordinates. The developed occlusion effect is used in urban planning scenarios to introduce a new area design featuring a car-free environment. The proposed method is evaluated based on performance indicators, including frames per second (FPS) since it is highly correlated to user comfort. The findings of the users’ study demonstrate that the occlusion effect achieves its purpose since most of the participants reported enhancements in the depth perception and overall experience by enabling the occlusion screening.
A NOVEL USE OF LATENT CLASS MODELLING TO UNDERSTAND THE HETEROGENEITY OF URBAN LAND USE EFFICIENCY IN CHINA
Authors: Wang T. Y. , Wan L.
Published: October 2022

Abstract. Urban and regional development disparity is a salient issue for both developed and developing countries, and increasing development control brings the efficiency of urban land use to the forefront. Understanding the heterogeneity of urban land-use efficiency is therefore important for balancing growth-oriented land supply and sustainable development. However, two research gaps can be identified from existing studies. Firstly, the disparities of urban land-use efficiency are usually multi-faceted, the measurement of which is thus a major challenge. Secondly, a systematic investigation of land-use efficiency and the associated geographical heterogeneity using multidimensional, longitudinal measurements seems limited. Therefore, this paper presents a novel latent class modelling method for understanding the pattern of such heterogeneity using purposely constructed, repeated cross-sectional measurements, including local government revenue density and employment density. Using data of 272 prefecture-level Chinese cities, our model first identifies the level of urban land-use efficiency can be split into three distinct cities groups based on the performance in 2017. To further investigate the change of the efficiency over the years (2012–2017), two separate models have been applied and a total of five latent groups among Chinese cities are identified with distinct development patterns. This modelling approach represents a viable method for assessing the land-use efficacity, both statically and over time, across a large number of cities of varying development stages. Policy implications are drawn.
THE USE OF CITYGML 3.0 IN 3D CADASTRE SYSTEM: THE CASE OF ADDIS ABABA CITY
Authors: Nega A. , Coors V.
Published: October 2022

Abstract. The relevance of 3D cadastre is increasing from time to time as buildings become more complex. Modeling and storing the physical structure with all its elements in a standardized file format improve its usability in different sectors, reduces data redundancy, creates data consistency, maintainability and scalability would be more effortless. In cadastre, showing the legal right of a property is as important as showing the physical right. Especially when a property is multiple owned and has several uses where each use and owner have different rights, responsibilities, and restrictions. The current cadastral of Addis Ababa is a 2D parcel-based mainly focused on registering ownership and physical data. The system lacks to show overlapping ownerships and uses of multistorey buildings. This study solved this critical short come.The primary goal of this study was to use CityGML to represent the physical and non-physical boundaries of building units. Prior to the release of CityGML 3.0, CityGML 2.0 was widely utilized in this field. However, there are several legal boundary modeling flaws in CityGML 2.0. Contrarily, those gaps were closed in the revised edition. Because of this, CityGML 3.0 was used in this investigation. Firstly, a sample building model was created and tested to demonstrate the concept sample. Then, the concept was realized on a model of an actual condominium building from the study area, Addis Ababa. The findings of the study demonstrate how CityGML 3.0 may be utilized for various 3D cadastre applications, including modeling the legal and physical boundaries of buildings.
EXTENDING CITYGML 3.0 TO SUPPORT 3D UNDERGROUND LAND ADMINISTRATION
Authors: Saeidian B. , Rajabifard A. , Atazadeh B. , Kalantari M.
Published: October 2022

Abstract. Rapid development of underground space necessitates the efficient management of underground areas. Data modelling plays an underpinning role in integrating and managing underground physical and legal data. The physical data refers to semantic and spatial data of underground assets such as utilities, tunnels, and basements, while the legal data comprises the ownership information and the extent of underground legal spaces and the semantic and spatial relationships between legal spaces. Current Underground Land Administration (ULA) practices mainly focus on representing only either legal spaces or the physical reality of subsurface objects using fragmented and isolated 2D drawings, leading to ineffective ULA. A complete and accurate 3D representation of underground legal spaces integrated with the 3D model of their physical counterparts can support different use cases of ULA beyond underground land registration, such as planning, design and construction of underground assets (e.g. tunnels and train stations), utility management and excavation. CityGML is a prominent semantic data model to represent 3D urban objects at a city scale, making it a good choice for underground because underground assets such as tunnels and utilities are often modelled at city scales. However, CityGML, in its current version, does not support legal information. This research aims to develop an Application Domain Extension (ADE) for CityGML to support 3D ULA based on the requirements defined in the Victorian state of Australia. These requirements include primary underground parcels and secondary underground interests. This work extends CityGML 3.0, which is the new version of this model. In CityGML 3.0, UML conceptual models as platform-independent models are suggested to express ADEs. Thus, the ADE proposed in this study will be based on UML. The findings of this study show that extending CityGML to support legal information can be a viable solution to meet the requirements of a 3D integrated model for ULA. The CityGML ADE proposed in this study can potentially provide a new solution for 3D digital management of underground ownership rights in Victoria, and it can be used to implement an integrated 3D digital data environment for ULA.
ROADMAP FOR INTEROPERABLE 3D DATA MODELS IN OGC APIS AND OTHER DATA EXCHANGE APPROACHES

Published: October 2022

Abstract. Many data exchange standards for 3D spatial data applications exist, ranging from the general Geography Markup Language (GML) underpinning CityGML to specific models for business application domains, such as BuildingSMART Industry Foundation Classes (BIM/IFC). There are a number of different approaches to modelling 3D objects, and in general the geometry aspects of these can be readily understood in the context of the visualisation needs of different applications. The topology, or relationships between elements of these objects, on the other hand is either not directly supported by such geometry models or implemented in different ways by different standards. We discuss limitations of existing standards for describing topological relationships in particular. In some cases topology information is embedded in geometry objects using identifiers for vertices, edges and faces, but in general there is scope to develop a standardised model for describing alternatives for topology and 3D geometry representations. A limited set of such models allows for interoperability via transformations between different representations. The ISO 19107 Spatial Schema provides an adequate conceptual model for these concerns, so we present the argument that a profile of this comprehensive model be defined for the limited set of such representation options required for Smart Cities and other similar applications.
DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING OF THE CITYJSON ENERGY EXTENSION FOR SPACE HEATING DEMAND CALCULATION
Authors: Tufan Ö. , Arroyo Ohori K. , León-Sánchez C. , Agugiaro G. , Stoter J.
Published: October 2022

Abstract. 3D city models are frequently used to acquire and store energy-related information of buildings for energy applications. In this context, CityGML is the most common data model, and the Energy ADE, one of its most complex extensions, provides a systematic way of storing detailed energy-related data in XML format. Contrarily, even though CityGML’s JSON-based encoding, CityJSON, has an extension mechanism, an energy-related CityJSON Extension is missing. This paper, therefore, presents the first results of the development of a CityJSON Energy Extension and space heating demand calculation is utilized as the use case. The simplified version of the Energy ADE, called the Energy ADE KIT profile, is used to create a semi-direct translation to the CityJSON Energy Extension. This Extension is then validated through the official validator of CityJSON and the use case, and improvements are made considering the validation results. The space heating demand is calculated according to the Dutch standard NTA 8800 for a subset of Rijssen-Holten in the Netherlands although the solar gains calculation requires further review. The results show that the final CityJSON Energy Extension provides full support for space heating demand calculations based on the NTA 8800 and eliminates the deep hierarchical structure of the Energy ADE. A comparison on CityJSON file sizes shows a 25.2 MB increase after the required input data is stored in a CityJSON + Energy Extension file, which is not significant considering the high amount of data stored in the file. Overall, this paper shows that the CityJSON Energy Extension could provide an easy-to-use alternative to the CityGML Energy ADE.
3D INDOOR-PEDESTRIAN INTERACTION IN EMERGENCIES: A REVIEW OF ACTUAL EVACUATIONS AND SIMULATION MODELS
Authors: Xie R. , Zlatanova S. , Lee J. B.
Published: October 2022

Abstract. Pedestrian motions and behaviours in evacuations are compactly interrelated indoor environments. According to how pedestrians interact with indoor environments in three-dimensional (3D) space, 3D indoor-pedestrian interaction is defined as five sorts of specific pedestrian motions, i.e., stepping over, crawling, bent-over walking, jumping over and climbing over. However, the occurrence and prevalence of the interaction in actual evacuations have not been identified, and the degree of effectiveness and practicality of the evacuation simulation models regarding the interaction is yet to be evaluated. Understanding the interaction and simulating it realistically bring apparent benefits to support informed policymaking, building safety optimization and emergency relief efforts. Therefore, this article aims to review the 3D indoor-pedestrian interaction in actual evacuations, assess the capabilities and performance of the evacuation simulation models for the interaction, and identify their limitations and challenges for future work. We first demonstrate that the fundamental relationships between the decision-making process of a pedestrian, object distance and object size/shape in 3D space are unclear yet, and the scarcity of experimental investigation for local routes choices and each motion is vast. Subsequently, the comparisons between Social Force models, Cellular Automata models and Agent-based models suggest that these microscopic models can yield the 3D indoor-pedestrian interaction, but the height dimension of 3D space is not explicitly considered during the evacuation modelling. This article is expected to advance the understanding of pedestrian evacuations in 3D space, ultimately improving pedestrian safety in indoor environments.
3D GAMING FOR YOUNG GENERATIONS IN HERITAGE PROTECTION: A REVIEW
Authors: Ishar S. I. , Zlatanova S. , Roberts J. L.
Published: October 2022

Abstract. Heritage buildings, landscape, and structure are threatened because of natural disasters, development pressure, and might be deserted due to high maintenance costs and lack of people awareness. To preserve community values and pass them from generation to generation, protecting heritage is essential. In some countries, the awareness to preserve heritage arises strongly among young generation through different types of organisations. In Indonesia, many young people, such as university students, architects, journalists, historians, and academics, have strong willingness to learn and protect cultural heritage. However, they have limited support to do that. 3D games, Virtual Reality (VR), and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies are considered effective means in teaching about heritage. Moreover, in urban planning, these technologies especially 3D game is used to involve young people in taking part to design the city. Therefore, similar technologies could be utilized to facilitate young people in heritage protection. Certain functionality should be ensured to allow engaging activities such as taking decision, sharing opinions, and expressing creativity. This paper presents a literature review on the use of 3D games and similar technologies for heritage in the last five years. The study shows that the literature related to this topic is still very limited, i.e., only 14 articles focus on the topics of 3D gaming technology and heritage.
A LARGE SCALE METHOD FOR EXTRACTING GEOGRAPHICAL FEATURES ON BUS ROUTES FROM OPENSTREETMAP AND ASSESSMENT OF THEIR IMPACT ON BUS SPEED AND RELIABILITY
Authors: Dunne L. , McArdle G.
Published: October 2022

Abstract. Geographical features on bus routes impact a bus’s performance, and as a consequence affect human mobility through cities. Analysis of these geographical features is non-trivial because they often must be manually recorded, limiting the ability to extract these features on a large scale. This paper proposes a novel method of extracting features from crowd-sourced OpenStreetMap (OSM) data and compares this method to the ground truth data for 539 stop pair segments in Dublin, Ireland. This paper also proposes algorithms to detect turns and the direction taken by buses at roundabouts, using the angle between points on the segment lines. Statistical analysis was performed, and elastic net linear regression models were developed with a subset of the route features to show their effect. The results show over 97% accurate identification of most individual features using the novel technique, with most errors resulting from OSM quality issues. The features that most negatively affected the average speed and reliability of the bus with statistical significance (p < 0.025) were: retail land use, turns, traffic lights, and roundabouts. The average speed limit and the length of the segment had a positive impact on the average speed but not on the reliability. This method can be used with any bus performance metric to obtain a deeper understanding of the dynamics of bus travel, provide detailed information for bus travel time simulations and more accurately predict bus journey times to improve scheduling on the overall bus network.
Mapping snow depth over lake ice in Canada’s sub-arctic using ground-penetrating radar
Authors: Pouw Alicia F. , Kheyrollah Pour Homa , Maclean Alex
Published: October 2022

Abstract. Ice thickness across lake ice is influenced mainly by the presence of snow and its distribution, as it directly impacts the rate of lake ice growth. The spatial distribution of snow depth over lake ice varies and is driven by wind redistribution and snowpack metamorphism, creating variability in the lake ice thickness. The accuracy and consistency of snow depth measurement data on lake ice are challenging and sparse to obtain. However, high spatial resolution lake snow depth observations are necessary for the next generation of thermodynamic lake ice models. Such information is required to improve the knowledge and understanding of snow depth distribution over lake ice. This study maps snow depth distribution over lake ice using ground-penetrating radar (GPR) two-way travel-time (TWT) with ~9 cm spatial resolution along transects totalling ~44 km over four freshwater lakes in Canada’s sub-arctic. The accuracy of the snow depth retrieval is assessed using in situ snow depth observations (n =2,430). On average, the snow depth derived from GPR TWTs for the early winter season is estimated with a root mean square error (RMSE) of 1.58 cm and a mean bias error of -0.01 cm. For the late winter season on a deeper snowpack, the accuracy is estimated with RMSE of 2.86 cm and a mean bias error of 0.41 cm. The GPR-derived snow depths are interpolated to create 1 m spatial resolution snow depth maps. Overall, this study improved lake snow depth retrieval accuracy and introduced a fast and efficient method to obtain high spatial resolution snow depth information, which is essential for the lake ice modelling community.

On the identity of Opuntia elata s.l. (Cactaceae) introduced in the Mediterranean region. A taxonomic and nomenclatural update
Authors: Aymerich Pere , Font Fabián
Published: October 2022

Opuntia elata and O. monacantha are the two species of Opuntia Series Armatae traditionally accepted as naturalized in the Mediterranean region and Europe. However, a review based on the analysis of the available images and on the criteria of the most recent taxonomic proposals shows that O. elata s.s. is not present. The plants so far assigned to O. elata belong to O. bonaerensis, a clearly differentiated species, or to O. rioplatensis and O. canterae, both species similar to O. elata and recently segregated. The situation looks similar for South Africa and Australia, where the iconography shows other species of this group but not O. elata in the strict sense.
¿Responde la normativa sobre cooperativas agroalimentarias a sus necesidades? Estudio de la evolución histórica y situación actual de su regulación
Authors: Cano Ortega Cristina
Published: October 2022

El presente artículo pretende realizar una revisión panorámica de la normativa cooperativa en lo que afecta alas cooperativas agroalimentarias y de su evolución histórica, en especial, desde la Ley General de cooperativas.Comenzaremos por ver el origen de las cooperativas agroalimentarias y las distintas etapas por las que ha pasado suregulación, para centrarnos en el análisis del régimen jurídico actual de esta clase de cooperativas.A diferencia de lo que sucede en otros ordenamientos en los que se dota a las cooperativas agroalimentarias de unanorma específica que recoge su régimen jurídico, en España la opción del legislador, tanto a nivel nacional comoautonómico, ha sido incluirlas dentro de las leyes cooperativas generales. Así, la ley de cooperativas autonómica oestatal correspondiente regula con detalle el régimen jurídico societario de las cooperativas: constitución, régimeneconómico, derechos y obligaciones de los socios, etc.; para después distinguir las diferentes clases de cooperativasexistentes, entre las que encontramos las agroalimentarias. Como consecuencia, solo contamos con uno o pocos másartículos destinados a regular las particularidades que presentan las cooperativas agroalimentarias, lo cual esinsuficiente. Entre esas especialidades nos encontramos las actividades que pueden llevar a cabo, quién puede ostentarla condición de socio, ciertos aspectos contables, la regulación de secciones, mayor amplitud de operaciones conterceros no socios, la previsión estatutaria de un voto plural, etc. Debe tenerse en cuenta que no todas las leyescooperativas españolas regulan los mismos aspectos ni de igual forma, por lo que su análisis y comparación seconvierten en la razón de ser de este artículo.

Pendidikan Islam merupakan hal yang paling utama bagi warga suatu negara, karena maju dan keterbelakangan suatu negara akan ditentukan oleh tinggi dan rendahnya tingkat pendidikan warga negaranya. Salah satu bentuk pendidikan yang mengacu kepada pembangunan tersebut, yaitu pendidikan agama adalah modal dasar yang merupakan tenaga penggerak yang tidak ternilai harganya bagi pengisian aspirasi bangsa, karena dengan terselanggaranya pendidikan agama secara baik akan membawa dampak terhadap pemahaman dan pengalaman ajaran agama.Pendidikan Islam yang bersumber pada Al-Qur’an dan Hadist untuk membentuk manusia yang seutuhnya, yakni manusia yang beriman dan bertaqwa terhadap Allah SWT, dan untuk memelihara nilai-nilai kehidupan sesama manusia agar dapat menjalankan pendidikan dapat menjalankan seluruh kehidupannya, sebagaimana yang telah ditentukan Allah dan Rasulnya demi kebahagiaan hidup di dunia dan akhirat.

Pada masa Nabi, pendidikan Islam berpusat di Madinah, setelah Rasulullah wafat kekuasaan pemerintahan Islam di pegang oleh Khulafaurrasyidin. Wilayah Islam telah meluas diluar jazirah Arab para khalifah ini memusatkan perhatiannya pada pendidikan keagamaan syiar agama dan kokohnya pendidikan.

Tahun-tahun pemerintahan khulafaurrasyidin merupakan perjuangan terus-menerus antara hak yang mereka bawa dan dakwahkan kebatilan yang mereka perangi dan musuhi. Pada zaman khulafaurrasyidin seakan-akan kehidupan Rasulullah SAW itu terulang kembali. Pendidikan Islam masih tetap memantulkan al-Qur’an dan Sunnah di ibu kota khilafah di Makkah, di Madinah dan di berbagai negeri lain yang ditaklukan oleh orang-orang Islam.
Key Considerations of Ethical Artificial Intelligence That Organisations Need to Consider for Success
Authors: Munnisunker Shivaan
Published: October 2022

It is argued that while Artificial Intelligence is far from having a consciousness like humans do, its consequences on society are minimal. Thus there is no rush to consider ethical issues. However, Artificial Intelligence applications are being implemented in almost every industry, imposing social unrest and upheavals for businesses. This paper aims to advocate for the importance and urgency of Artificial Intelligence ethics. This paper explores the different areas of ethics and then explains the concept of Artificial Intelligence ethics. A literature review is provided addressing four areas of Artificial Intelligence ethics that leaders must address if they are to win successfully in the industry in which they operate. These areas are biases, data security, explainability, and impact. A case study focusing on the fictional company Strategeion is examined to illustrate the complexities of an Artificial Intelligence system in which a potential candidate for a job was discriminated against because of an error in its learning system.

Bat algorithm optimisation technique for feature selection on different dimension of datasets
Authors: Almazini Hussein Fouad
Published: October 2022

The advanced of Information Technology has resulting in the generation of numerous datasets with different dimensions. However, dealing with multi-dimensional datasets which typically contain large number of attributes, p has cause problems to classification process. Classifying different dimensional numerical data is a difficult problem as dealing with various feature spaces, could cause the performance of supervised learning method to suffer from the curse of dimensionality.  This condition eventually degrades both classification accuracy and efficiency. In a nutshell, not all attributes in the dataset can be used in the classification process since some features may lead to low performance of classifier. Feature selection (FS) is a good mechanism that minimises the dimensions of high-dimensional datasets and solve classification problems. This paper proposed Bat Algorithm (BA) for FS that were trained using a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier. The proposed algorithm was tested on six public datasets with different sizes and compared with other benchmark algorithms, such as Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO) and Genetic Algorithm (GA). The experimental results indicated that the BA has outperformed the other two algorithms. In addition, the comparison details showed that binary BA is more competitive in terms of accuracy and the number of features when assessed on datasets with different sizes.
The Impact of a Non-Compete Clause on Patient Care and Orthopaedic Surgeons in the State of Louisiana: Afraid of a Little Competition?
Authors: Sherman William F. , Patel Akshar H. , Ross Bailey J. , Lee Olivia C. , Williams Claude S. , Savoie Felix H.
Published: October 2022

Background

Non-compete clauses (NCC) are commonly required for physicians practicing in an employed model. With growing pressures driving surgeons to practice in an employed model instead of physician-led practices, the purpose of this survey was to determine the impact of NCCs on orthopaedic surgeons and their patients in Louisiana.

Methods

A voluntary, single-mode online survey containing 23 questions was created using the Qualtrics XM Platform (Qualtrics, Provo, UT) and distributed to 259 orthopaedic surgeons who are members of the Louisiana Orthopaedic Association. Survey questions assessed the prevalence and details of existing NCCs and perceptions of their impact on surgeons’ practice, patients, and personal life.

Results

117 members responded (response rate: 45.2%), of which 91 (77.8%) finished the survey. Nearly half (44%) of respondents had an expired or active NCC in their contract. Most (84.3%) believed NCCs give employers unfair leverage during contract negotiations. NCCs have deterred or would deter 71.4% of respondents from accepting another job offer. Respondents believed NCCs negatively impact patients, including forcing patients to drive long distances to maintain continuity of care (64.4%) and forcing surgeons to abandon their patients if they seek new employment (76.7%). Many respondents reported NCCs also exert significant detrimental effects on their personal life, including mandatory relocation of their family (67.0%). Nearly all (97.8%) believed such clauses have become unreasonable over the last decade with the rise of large hospital conglomerates. Most surgeons (83.7%) believed that removal of NCCs from all orthopaedic surgeons’ contracts would improve the overall healthcare of orthopaedic patients in Louisiana.

Conclusion

Perceptions of NCCs were overwhelmingly negative among orthopaedic surgeons in Louisiana. Such clauses give employers an unfair advantage during contract negotiations and exert a significant detrimental impact on surgeons and their patients. While NCCs may be reasonable in the business sector and other professions, it is unclear how such clauses benefit surgeons or improve patient care and may be detrimental to both.

Authors: Singh Swati , Tayal Vijay Kumar , Singh Hemender Pal , Yadav Vinod Kumar
Published: October 2022

Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) are gaining attraction in order to facilitate various applications owing to portability, low pollution and high efficiency. However, due to strong nonlinearity, fast variations in loading conditions and sluggish dynamics, regulation of the output voltage of SOFCs is disturbed. This paper aims to enhance the dynamic performance of SOFC by employing PI, PI Fast, PIDF, 2-DOF PID and PSO optimized FO-PID controllers under uncertain input conditions. The PID tuner is used for tuning the PI, PI fast, PIDF and 2-DOF PID controller parameters. The PSO technique is utilized for optimizing of FO-PID controller. The SOFC output with various controllers is compared in terms of performance specifications such as peak overshoot, settling time, steady state error and rise time. The comparison of computer simulation results manifests that the proposed PSO-FOPID controller scheme yields in far better performance with SOFC subjected to uncertain input.

Foram entrevistados 31 estudantes do 3º ano de uma escola pública de Brasília (Distrito Federal) por meio de um questionário e, posteriormente, realizamos entrevista semiestruturada com seis deles para aprofundamento. Percebe-se que há um alinhamento entre defender o esforço meritocrático e compreender a importância da tecnologia, por si, nos estudos. Quanto mais se prioriza a resposta do esforço individual, mais se acredita que a tecnologia seja protagonista nos estudos, sem grandes problematizações sociais.
Harry Potter, um herói liberal: ideologia e pedagogia política na ficção de J. K. Rowling
Authors: Azevedo da Fonseca André , Vischi da Cruz Victória
Published: October 2022

A série de livros de ficção infanto-juvenil do personagem Harry Potter, assim como as suas adaptações cinematográficas, alcançaram fama internacional. Ao tratar de temas contemporâneos através da fantasia, a sua narrativa abordou problemáticas análogas aos conflitos sociais do mundo real. Através de pesquisa bibliográfica de textos acadêmicos que investigam os aspectos políticos do universo de Harry Potter, a presente pesquisa realiza uma leitura sobre a representação das ideologias presentes na narrativa ficcional. Com isso, foi constatada a valorização de ideias liberais, apesar de algumas contradições no campo dos ideias de justiça e direitos humanos. A ausência de caráter revolucionário da mensagem nos livros reforça a manutenção de valores já estabelecidos na sociedade.

O presente artigo propõe, a partir de uma leitura do conto “As coisas que perdemos no fogo”, da escritora argentina Mariana Enriquez, analisar de forma crítica a construção de novos realismos e a configuração da violência presente na literatura contemporânea. Para a construção teórica que sustentou as discussões levantadas, foram utilizados autores tais como Figueiredo (2012), Ginzburg (2013), Mendes (2015), Schøllhammer (2012), entre outros. Tal leitura evidencia que a escrita literária está cada vez mais em contato com a realidade social, que representada através da palavra assume novos contornos, tornando instáveis as próprias fronteiras entre realidade e ficção.

Este artigo aborda o tratamento que o Estado brasileiro deu às questões relacionadas à língua portuguesa e ao ensino desta de 1808 a 1830. A pesquisa foi realizada em documentos legislativos oficiais publicados entre os anos de 1808 e 1830, cujo marco histórico compreende a chegada da família real portuguesa à colônia (1808) até o fim do Primeiro Reinado (1830). Como objetivo geral, pretendemos analisar as políticas linguísticas da Coroa portugesa para Brasil. Especificamente, objetivamos apresentar um histórico das ações da Coroa portuguesa para a língua portuguesa no Brasil e, especialmente, para o ensino da língua portuguesa no Brasil nos anos que compreendem esta pesquisa. Metodologicamente, a pesquisa é de cunho bibliográfico e documental, haja vista que ela trabalha com textos teóricos das áreas de História, Educação e Língua Portuguesa e analisa documentos legislativos. Após a leitura e análise dos documentos, percebemos que o ensino de língua portuguesa, no período que compreende esta pesquisa, era destinado a fins eclesiásticos e à formação de trabalhadores que serviriam à Coroa lusitana. Outrossim, constatamos a presença e o prestígio   de gramática latina na formação da elite e a criação de inúmeras cadeiras de Primeiras Letras para a educação da juventude da elite.
Against Nature de Joyce Carol Oates: Para (re)pensar o nature essay
Authors: Soares Isabelle Maria
Published: October 2022

Este artigo propõe uma leitura do ensaio literário Against Nature, da escritora estadunidense Joyce Carol Oates, que apresenta um discurso de resistência ao gênero literário conhecido por nature writing. Para compreendermos melhor o protesto de Oates, delineamos uma fundamentação teórica que disserta acerca de aspectos estéticos e históricos da escrita do nature essay, com base, principalmente, nos escritos de Snyder (2005), Weik Von Mossner (2017) e Schröder (2019). É possível perceber, a partir disso, que o ensaio de Oates direciona um olhar crítico para um gênero literário que trabalha com questões éticas e se propõe a agir a favor do mundo natural.

Com as aulas escolares realizadas remotamente, devido à pandemia de Covid-19, professores da educação básica se viram em uma série de desafios nos anos 2020-2021, entre eles, o de mobilizar o interesse dos jovens pela leitura literária. Em vista disso, este trabalho teve como objetivo geral incentivar a leitura e a escrita de modo significativo nos anos finais do ensino fundamental, em contexto remoto. Para tanto, elaboramos e analisamos um objeto educacional, explorando as possibilidades de a escrita criativa de fanfictions potencializar o letramento literário. Os principais aportes teóricos utilizados foram: Cosson (2006, 2021) para sequência expandida e letramento literário; Assis Brasil (2015), Gando e Taufer (2020), Leitão (2008) e Magalhães (2017) para escrita criativa; Jamison (2017), Nascimento (2020) e Vargas (2005) para o gênero fanfiction. Por fim, concluímos que o objeto educacional elaborado associa a escrita criativa ao letramento literário de modo produtivo, especialmente porque se ancora na proposta de construção de uma comunidade de leitores que compartilhem relações singulares com a leitura literária na produção de fanfics. Esperamos que nossa proposta possa incentivar professores a desenvolverem projetos de letramento literário e colaborar para a democratização da prática da escrita criativa no contexto escolar, em diferentes modalidades de ensino.

This study aims to examine the linguistic performance of code-mixing by Northern Khmer (NK) teenagers in Buriram Province while conversing with NK middle-aged speakers in their community. It focuses on types of linguistic units or categories of code-mixing that occur in NK conversation and also on the various situations in which that linguistic unit occurs. It is found that code-mixing between NK and the Thai language occurs on three linguistic levels: morphological, syntactic, and discourse. On the morphological level, 7 categories of Thai words are found: noun, verb, adjective, final particle, quantifier, conjunction, and exclamation word. Three types of code-mixing are found on the syntactic level: Inter-Sentential, Intra-Sentential, and Extra-Sentential Code-Mixing. On the discourse level, code-mixing occurs in the middle and at the end of the NK discourse. There are 6 different situations in NK conversations where these types of code-mixing occur: (1) Greetings (2) Expressing appreciation (3) Expressions of politeness (4) Telling information (General and Specific) (5) Indicative mood, Lexical meaning, and Sentence structure, and (6) English loan words further borrowed from the Thai language. It is also found that NK speakers adopt the morphological processes of reduplication, the sentential structure, and serial verb construction when utilizing the Thai language to mix in their NK word formation and NK sentence structure. Lastly, NK speakers borrow English loanwords from Thai, instead of borrowing them directly from English.
