Authors: Ribas Tatiane Cubas , Benetti Salete Regina Daronco
Published: March 2020

Este artigo objetiva trazer a visão dos ACS e dos Pacientes hipertensos, sobre a importância de orientações e o uso correto das medicações anti-hipertensivas. A hipertensão é um grave problema de saúde pública, sendo uma doença crônica que se não tratada adequadamente pode ocasionar várias complicações. Os ACS são moradores da comunidade onde atuam, identificados com a mesma, possuidores dos mesmos costumes, valores e linguagem e são selecionados, capacitados e acompanhados pela equipe de saúde, de acordo com os requisitos estabelecidos pelo Ministério da Saúde. Seu trabalho é baseado em ações educativas e preventivas que buscam fortalecer a organização, a valorização e o desenvolvimento comunitário. Os ACS têm como uma de suas atribuições a distribuição dos medicamentos para as famílias de sua área, dentre eles os anti-hipertensivos, ajudando numa melhor adesão ao tratamento. Sabe-se que uma grande parte dos pacientes que utilizam medicações contínuas, principalmente anti-hipertensivas, são os idosos que, certamente, apresentam uma maior dificuldade no entendimento e compreensão relacionado a importância da utilização de tal medicamento. A pesquisa foi realizada no mês de setembro de 2012, com 23 Agentes Comunitários de Saúde (ACS) e 40 hipertensos acima de 50 anos, inseridos na Estratégia saúde da família de um município do sul do estado do Paraná.
A visão dos profissionais contábeis de Santa Catarina sobre as novas normas contábeis
Authors: Caramori Renan , Ramos Fernando Maciel
Published: March 2020

A pretensão pela criação de uma contabilidade semelhante internacionalmente é um grande objetivo da Ciência Contábil há muitos anos. Em 2005, as normas internacionais de contabilidade (IFRS) deram um grande passo em busca da convergência mundial. A obrigatoriedade de seu uso pelas empresas listadas em bolsas da união europeia foi fundamental para dar propulsão ao projeto de harmonização contábil internacional, além de fomentar o interesse das demais organizações internacionais em se adequar aos novos parâmetros europeus. No Brasil, a adoção das IFRS começou em 2008 com as grandes companhias, sendo que em 2010 seu uso foi obrigatório para companhias de pequeno e médio porte. Diante deste recente contexto contábil, o presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar a percepção dos profissionais contábeis em relação às novas normas internacionais de contabilidade. Para atender a pesquisa, foi elaborado um questionário composto por 12 questões, posteriormente enviado aos 19.571 contadores de Santa Catarina com o auxílio do Conselho Regional de Contabilidade. Obteve-se retorno de 315 questionários, que foram analisados utilizando estatística descritiva. Com os resultados obtidos pode-se observar que a taxa de contadores insatisfeitos ou desatualizados sobre as novas regras contábeis ainda é um fator preocupante para a profissão.
Avaliação de livros didáticos como ferramenta para o ensino de educação ambiental nos 6º e 7º anos do ensino fundamental
Authors: Facchini Jean Mary , Paul Adriana
Published: March 2020

A preocupação com os livros didáticos em nível oficial, no Brasil, se inicia com a Legislação do Livro Didático, criada em 1938 pelo Decreto-Lei 1006. Nesse período já o livro era considerado uma ferramenta da educação política e ideológica, sendo caracterizado o Estado como censor no uso desse material didático. A relação entre o livro didático e a Educação Ambiental é o envolvimento por diversas concepções que são expressas por distintas correntes do pensamento ambientalista. Essas correntes influenciam a forma de exercer a Educação Ambiental no âmbito escolar, assim como a seleção de conteúdos e a abordagem dos mesmos em sala de aula. O presente trabalho esboça a análise de alguns aspectos do Livro Didático de Ciências do ensino fundamental, 6º e 7º anos utilizados nas escolas públicas e particulares do município de Jaraguá do Sul - SC, bem como a aplicabilidade do tema Educação Ambiental, em diversas abordagens e metodologias ao ensino de Ciências.

Os resultados demonstraram que o método de previsão de insolvência de Kanitz é eficiente para a previsão da tendência de solvência ou insolvência de pequenas e médias empresas do setor analisado neste estudo de caso.
Liquidação de sentença enquanto necessidade atrelada ao bom andamento processual: (in)segurança jurídica e pedido genérico
Authors: Freitas Ramiro Ferreira
Published: March 2020

O presente trabalho visa examinar, sucintamente, o término processual condenatório (de uma das partes litigantes) enquanto circunstância promotora da manifestação jurisdicional. Quando a inércia do Poder Judiciário é rompida, surge uma obrigação do julgador no sentido de atribuir à demanda caráter designativo, no intuito de acolher ou rejeitar seu teor. Ora, o juízo nem sempre responde exatamente ao ideal de justiça porquanto, em inúmeros casos, fica obrigado a construir valorações genéricas, equivalentes ao intento propugnado em petição cujo objetivo (mediato) é quase incerto, determinável. Tudo isso guarda nuanças arriscadas e nem sempre repercute na ‘fumaça’ do bom direito.

Published: March 2020

Espera-se, com este estudo, contribuir para a avaliação das práticas de governança eletrônica em governos municipais, bem como identificar em quais contextos a sua implantação é mais promissora, o que poderá contribuir para os avanços na formulação de políticas públicas que objetivem dar maior transparência às ações dos gestores públicos, como por exemplo, o que foi previsto pela Lei nº 131/2009. Assim, o estudo objetivou analisar as práticas de governança eletrônica dos municípios do estado de Santa Catarina e verificar sua correlação com as variáveis PIB (Produto Interno Bruto), IDH (Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano) e Tamanho. Pesquisa descritiva, com análise documental e abordagem quantitativa dos dados de 57 municípios com população acima de vinte mil habitantes. Os resultados apontam que, das cinco dimensões da métrica sobre práticas de governança eletrônica, destacou-se à prestação de serviços, seguida pelas práticas de usabilidade e acessibilidade, conteúdo, participação cidadã e privacidade e segurança, nesta ordem. Quanto ao índice de governança eletrônica, os resultados indicaram que o mínimo de práticas aderidas por estes é igual a 13%, o máximo de 76%, enquanto que a média dos municípios sob estudo foi de 50%. Concluiu-se que os municípios maiores e com melhores condições socioeconômicas representadas pelo IDH, PIB aderiram a um maior número de práticas de governança eletrônica.

Authors: MIKULEWICZ EMILIA , MAJKOWSKA-GADOMSKA JOANNA
Published: March 2020

Miechunka pomidorowa (Physalis ixocarpa Brot. ex Hornem.) należy do rodziny psiankowatych (Solanaceae Juss.). Duże zdolności adaptacyjne rośliny sprawiły, iż uprawiana jest w różnych rejonach świata. W Polsce jest mało znana mimo dużej wartości odżywczej, wysokiej zawartości substancji biologicznie czynnych oraz coraz bardziej cenionych przez konsumentów walorów smakowych. Surowcem miechunki pomidorowej jest jadalna jagoda (Fructus Physalis), a głównymi składnikami biologicznie czynnymi są polifenole. Część jadalna jest zasobna również w kwas L-askorbinowy, β-karoten, antocyjany, garbniki, pektyny, fitosterole oraz związki mineralne i witaminy z grupy B. Owoc miechunki wykazuje aktywność przeciwdrobnoustrojową, antyoksydacyjną, działa moczopędnie, przeciwzapalnie, antynowotworowo oraz przeciwalergicznie. Obniżając zdolności mutagenne prokarcerogenów, wzmacnia odporność organizmu. Przyczynia się do utrzymania prawidłowego metabolizmu energetycznego, a także zmniejsza uczucie zmęczenia i znużenia. Wpływa pozytywnie na funkcjonowanie układu nerwowego i krwionośnego. Stosowany bywa jako naturalne lekarstwo na choroby układu moczowego i skóry. Miechunka pomidorowa staje się znaczącym warzywem często wykorzystywanym w farmacji, a także przemyśle spożywczym. Coraz bardziej doceniany jest również aspekt dekoracyjny tej rośliny.
Pestycydy – zakres i ryzyko stosowania, korzyści i zagrożenia. Praca przeglądowa
Authors: KOWALSKA GRAŻYNA , KOWALSKI RADOSŁAW
Published: March 2020

Pestycydy, stosowane powszechnie w rolnictwie w celu zapewnienia wysokiej jakości plonu, a także po to, by ograniczyć straty związane z występowaniem szkodników oraz chwastów na plantacjach uprawnych, miały służyć człowiekowi. Jednak, mimo niewątpliwych zalet tych związków, stosowanie ich przez dłuższy czas wiąże się z dużymi kosztami, ponieważ prowadzi do kumulacji pestycydów we wszystkich elementach środowiska – glebie, powietrzu, wodach powierzchniowych i gruntowych, co stanowi poważne zagrożenie dla organizmów niebędących przedmiotem zwalczania, czyli pożytecznych mikroorganizmów glebowych, owadów, ptaków, ryb, ssaków, roślin, a także dla człowieka. Pestycydy obecne w ludzkim organizmie powodują zmiany mutagenne, teratogenne i nowotworowe. Zaburzają gospodarkę hormonalną i enzymatyczną organizmu, są przyczyną chorób układu oddechowego, trawiennego, limfatycznego, jak również chorób skórnych. Substancje te charakteryzują się także działaniem embriotoksycznym i mogą powodować upośledzenie rozrodu i rozwoju płodu. W celu zapewnienia bezpieczeństwa żywności dla konsumentów oraz ochrony zdrowia i życia ludzkiego wiele krajów na całym świecie wprowadziło program monitoringowy i urzędową kontrolę żywności dotyczącej zawartości zanieczyszczeń, w tym pestycydów, zgodnie z najwyższymi dopuszczalnymi poziomami tych związków. W związku z korzyściami ekonomicznymi, jakie wynikają z zastosowania pestycydów, należy rozważyć, jaki jest stosunek strat do korzyści. Ze względu na duże trudności w pełnej ocenie zagrożeń stosowania środków ochrony roślin dla zdrowia i życia ludzkiego wszystkie działania dotyczące stosowania pestycydów powinny opierać się na ocenie naukowej, a nie na względach komercyjnych. Ciągłe poszukiwanie nowych pestycydów wynika z weryfikacji korzyści i zagrożeń związanych ze stosowaniem pestycydów oraz z faktu uodparniania się agrofagów na niektóre substancje, co skutkuje małą skutecznością zabiegów. Pomimo wycofania wielu środków stosowanych w ochronie roślin ciągle aktualne są badania nad oceną ryzyka zdrowotnego, wynikającego z kumulacji tych substancji w środowisku czy nielegalnego stosowania zakazanych preparatów.

Celem pracy była ocena wpływu przechowywania chłodniczego na jakość tusz pstrąga tęczowego. Badaniami objęto 18 pstrągów odłowionych w gospodarstwie rybackim w województwie lubelskim. Dokonano pomiarów właściwości fizykochemicznych: pH i wodochłonności tkanki mięśniowej (WHC), barwy skóry i fileta, aktywności (aw) i zawartości wody w filetach, twardości i ubytków masy tusz. Wyróżniki sensoryczne i indeks jakości oceniono według systemu QIM. W okresie przechowywania nastąpił istotny spadek wodochłonności i zawartości wody w filetach oraz istotny ubytek masy tusz, a skóra ryb przybrała istotnie ciemniejszą barwę. Indeks jakości (QIM) po uśmierceniu ryb oceniono na 0 pkt, po 24 h wyniósł 2 pkt, a po 48 h 4 pkt. Instrumentalne pomiary właściwości fizykochemicznych wraz z wynikami oceny wyróżników sensorycznych metodą QIM, wskazują na pogorszenie jakości ryb przechowywanych w warunkach chłodniczych w ocenianym okresie.

Oszacowano wartość rzeźną i oceniono jakość tusz tuczników rasy puławskiej, wyróżniając 4 grupy tuczników wg masy ubojowej: I – 100,0–109,9 kg; II – 110,0–119,9 kg; III – 120,0–129,9 kg; IV – 130,0–140,0 kg. Obliczono wskaźnik wydajności rzeźnej tusz – ciepłej (przed wychłodzeniu) i zimnej (po wychłodzeniu), zmierzono grubość słoniny, wysokość „oka” polędwicy i oszacowano mięsność, ponadto dokonano pomiaru masy i udziału elementów zasadniczych w półtuszy, oznaczono skład tkankowy oraz właściwości fizykochemiczne schabu i szynki. Wykazano, że wraz ze wzrostem masy ubojowej istotnie (P ≤ 0,01) zwiększała się masa tuszy ciepłej i zimnej. Wydajność rzeźna zimna wahała się od 79,04% (gr. II) do 81,35% (gr. IV) (P > 0,05). Wraz z masą tuczników zwiększała się grubość słoniny i wysokość „oka” polędwicy. W grupie I wartość tych parametrów wynosiła 17,44 mm i 61,88 mm, a w grupie IV odpowiednio 20,65 mm i 65,59 mm. Zawartość tkanki mięśniowej (%) pozwoliła zakwalifikować tusze z I i II grupy do klasy E, natomiast z grupy III i IV do klasy U. Na podstawie rozbioru kulinarnego tusz wykazano, że wraz ze zwiększaniem się masy ciała udział elementów zasadniczych był wyższy. Różnice pomiędzy grupami I a IV odnośnie do schabu i szynki okazały się statystycznie istotne (P ≤ 0,01) i wynosiły odpowiednio 2,08 kg i 3,95 kg. Przeprowadzone badania i analizy wykazały dobrą jakość tusz. Tusze tuczników o masie ubojowej 100–119,9 kg są przydatne do pozyskiwania wysokiej jakości surowca kulinarnego, a tusze tuczników o masie ubojowej 120–140 kg są bardzo dobrym materiałem do wytwarzania wyrobów wysokogatunkowych.

Authors: Perić Sara
Published: March 2020

Analiza sentimenta je veoma zastup­ljena u istraživanjima danas. Deo problema određivanja sentimenta predstavlja detekcija sarkazma, jer on često može da navede model da zaključuje suprotno od tačnog. Ovaj fenomen se javlja zbog same prirode sarkazma: upotreba pozitivnih reči u cilju izražavanja negativnih osećanja. Tema ovog rada je detekcija sarkazma u komentarima, gde se on češće javlja u odnosu na druge tekstualne sadržaje. U ovom radu prikazani su različiti pristupi u rešavanju datog problema. Predloženi su razli­čiti klasifikacioni modeli – metod slučajnih šuma (engl. Random Forest), metod potpornih vektora (engl. Support Vector Machines - SVM), logistička regresija, kao i različite arhitekture neuronskih mreža – Yoon Kim model, konvolucioni model, rekurentni model i konvoluciono-rekurentni. Uporedo sa srodnim istraživanjima i ovim radom je pokazano da je detekcija sarkazma moguća i da se daljim unapređenjem modela tačnost može povećati i time doprineti značajnom poboljšanju analize sentimenta.

Positioning Children Citizens: Exploring Discourses in Early Childhood Curricula in China and Aotearoa New Zealand
Authors: Xu Peng
Published: March 2020

Positioning young children as citizens, now rather than as citizens in waiting, is an emerging discourse in early childhood education internationally. Differing discourses related to young children and early childhood reveal various ideas of children as citizens, and what their citizenship status, practice and education can be. This paper analyses the national early childhood education (ECE) curricula of China and Aotearoa New Zealand for the purpose of understanding how children are constructed as citizens within such policy discourses. Discourse analysis is employed in this study as a methodological approach for understanding the subjectivities of young children and exploring the meanings of young children’s citizenship in both countries. Based on Foucault’s theory of governmentality, this paper ultimately argues that young children’s citizenship in contemporary ECE curricula in China and New Zealand is a largely neoliberal construction. However, emerging positionings shape differing possibilities for citizenship education for young children in each of these countries.

Published: March 2020

We examine the academic ‘pipeline’ for Māori and Pasifika graduates and illustrate the chronic under-representation of Māori and Pasifika in permanent academic positions in New Zealand universities. We identify areas within higher education where significant opportunities are being lost for the recruitment and retention of Māori and Pasifika. The narratives of Māori and Pasifika post-doctoral researchers, research associates and professional teaching fellows provide further insight into the advantages and disadvantages of these positions. Lastly, we propose a Pacific alternative metaphor ‘Pacific Navigation of Academic Pathways’ based on Pacific navigation, as opposed to the more commonly used term ‘pipeline’, in order to capture the nuances of Pasifika and Māori experiences.

Analysis of Desires of the Main Character in the Short Story “Ein Tisch ist ein Tisch” by Peter Bichsel: A Study of Deleuze and Guattari’s Schizoanalysis
Authors: Kharis M. , Rosyidah Rosyidah , Retnantiti Sawitri
Published: March 2020

This study aims to describe the desires of the main character ‘der Mann’ in the short story by Peter Bichsel using Deleuze and Guattari’s Schizoanalysis theory. This was a qualitative study with a descriptive approach. The research data were comprised of words, phrases, and sentences. The collected data were subsequently categorized into types of desires. Data were analyzed using reading and recording techniques and described based on the proportion of desires. The results of the analysis showed that the main character receives constant pressures from society, leading to the emergence of paranoid desire, a desire that is formed due to the pressure of particular systems or social codes outside of the main character. This desire is schizophrenic at the individual level. In the short story, this desire is manifested through the creation of a new language by ‘der Mann’. In the end, the main character ‘der Mann’ can use new vocabulary at the levels of phrases and sentences, but unable to influence other language users. As a result, his newly self-created language is unacceptable in society. However, the schizophrenic desire at the individual level has the potential to destruct social formation

Published: March 2020

This study aims to explore the five elements of magical realism which are portrayed in the novel The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger in order to find out whether the novel can be categorized as magical realism or not. The writer chooses this novel to be analyzed because the novel won the Exclusive Books Boeke Prize and a British Book Award and it has been adapted into a film. The data of this study are characters’ utterances and author narration which contain five elements of magical realism. The data is collected by applying the intensive reading and highlighting the data. This study uses magical realism theory, especially five elements of magical realism proposed by Wendy B. Faris. The results of the study show that The Time Traveler’s Wife contains five elements of Magical Realism. Those are Irreducible Element, Phenomenal World, Unsettling Doubt, Merging Realms, and Disruption of Time. However, the five elements described as the representation of the postcolonial context since magical realism also can be categorized as a way to reveal the authoritative colonialist attitude. Thus, this study found the cultural history of Chicago where the time traveler’s lives as the result of postcolonial side of magical realism.

Authors: Samimpey Rozita , Saghatforoush Ehsan
Published: March 2020

Success in infrastructure projects requires success in all phases of the project, including design, construction, and operation. One of the necessary actions for developing countries to construct their economic infrastructures, is implementing infrastructure plans. This industry should focus more on the construction process and utilizing creative tools and new concepts for construction development. The reason of it is because of delivering the project with certain quality, in time and with the given budget. Contractors should have new strategies for construction to optimize project completion, and constructability. Accordingly, constructability improvements have become the concern of construction industry practitioners. Considering constructability issues in the early stages of the project enhances identifying design limitations that prevent capabilities of contractors to take part in planning and improving project performance. The purpose of this study is identifying the prerequisites of constructability to resolve the current problems of projects, including inappropriate plans without implementability, poor decision making in design, and lack of sufficient implementation experience in the design engineering team. This study provides a list of prerequisites for constructability implementation in infrastructure projects. Accordingly, it identifies the prerequisites, using Systematic Literature Review (SLR) technique. The NVivo software is used to facilitate the qualitative analyses.
A Scalable Cloud Native Platform For Interactive Museum Exhibits
Authors: Cappaert Paul , Redei Alex
Published: March 2020

Science museums with hands-on and interactive exhibits are on the rise. As museums grow, the need arises to have an online platform to allow visitors to continue their ex- perience beyond a day visit. In this paper, we first provide a brief survey of techniques for building scalable cloud native software frameworks. In order to achieve low cost and persist user data, we built a django application using Heroku and postgres. This platform can be scaled horizontally on-demand to handle highly variant user traffic for augmenting the museum experience. With a focus on educational experiences, a participant’s progress on activities at the museum are saved through an API we built and can be viewed on a website. Different activities at the museum generate data for the API which can be viewed anywhere. Simulated data was loaded into our framework to validate the efficacy of our solution. Future testing is outlined in collaboration with the Fleischmann Planetarium through a trial experiment with museum visitors.
A Study of the Landscape of Internet Censorship and Anti-Censorship in Middle East
Authors: Rahimi Nick , Gupta Bidyut
Published: March 2020

The power of technology is one which supersedes any other tool of communication ever formulated and implemented by human beings. The internet has been long cited by scholars and practitioners alike to be an empowerment tool that allows individuals to either seek, receive or dole out information and ideas without any basis being drawn on boundaries or geographical locations. This, therefore, means that online communication has to be protected in lieu with the international dictums and pretensions that call for the right to freedom of expression.

Authors: Pereira Telmo , Cipriano Inês , Castanheira Joaquim
Published: March 2020

Introduction

This study was aimed at evaluating the changes in the Ventricular-Arterial Coupling (VAC) of old adults after the implementation of a multidisciplinary intervention program comprising a tailored physical exercise component.

Methods

A non-randomized pilot study, enrolling 21 old adults with age above 65 years of age (mean 81.08 years). The participants were divided into two groups (Group 1 and 2), both subject to a baseline thorough and multidisciplinary diagnostic evaluation. A tailored intervention program was implemented for a period of 3 months, after which the participants were re-evaluated. The Group 2 included a component of tailored exercise training and physiotherapy intervention. Central and peripheral Blood Pressure (BP) and hemodynamic parameters related to cardiovascular efficiency were evaluated by transthoracic echocardiography and pulse wave analysis. Self-efficacy for exercise scales as well as handgrip strength and nutritional status were also evaluated at baseline and after intervention.

Results

Baseline diagnostic information was similar in both groups. After the intervention, significant changes were observed in Group 2, mainly a reduction in BP, in arterial stiffness and a better cardiovascular efficiency was also depicted, with a decrease in the stroke work and an increase in the VAC, as well as in the left ventricle efficiency parameter. Regarding the indicators of frailty, there was an improvement in handgrip strength and self-efficacy for exercise in Group 2. No significant changes were observed in Group 1.

Conclusion

The results of this pilot study highlight the positive modulation provided by a tailored physical exercise approach of the old adult, increasing cardiac efficiency and thus constituting a factor for improving overall well-being. Large randomized trials are needed to further validate these findings.
A Novel Process for SiGe Core-Shell JAM Transistors Fabrication and Thermal Annealing Effect on Its Electrical Performance
Authors: Kumar Ashish , Lee Wen-Hsi
Published: March 2020

In this study, we fabricate Si/SiGe core-shell Junctionless accumulationmode (JAM)FinFET devices through a rapid and novel process with fourmain steps, i.e. e-beam lithography definition, sputter deposition, alloycombination annealing, and chemical solution etching. The height of Sicore is 30 nm and the thickness of Si/SiGe core-shell is about 2 nm. Afterfinishing the fabrication of devices, we widely studied the electrical characteristics of poly Si/SiGe core-shell JAM FinFET transistors from a viewof different Lg and Wch. A poly-Si/SiGe core -shell JAMFETs was successfully demonstrated and it also exhibits a superior subthreshold swingof 81mV/dec and high on/off ratio > 105 when annealing for 1hr at 600°C.The thermal diffusion process condition for this study are 1hr at 600°C and6hr at 700°C for comparison. The annealing condition at 700oC for 6 hoursshows undesired electrical characteristics against the other. Results suggeststhat from over thermal budget causes a plenty of Ge to precipitate againstto form SiGe thin film. Annealing JAMFETs at low temperature showsoutstanding Subthreshold swing and better swing condition when compared to its counterpart i.e. at higher temperature. This new process can stillfabricate a comparable performance to classical planar FinFET in drivingcurrent.

This study generally aims to synthesize the best practices and challenges in mangrove rehabilitation in the Philippines, Myanmar, Japan, China and India. It employed an in-depth review of secondary information such as policy documents and project reports, and participatory research activities with various mangrove stakeholders such as key informant interview and focus group discussion. Lessons and strategies obtained were used to develop a mangrove rehabilitation framework/guideline. The guideline was tested for suitability through case studies in the Philippines and Myanmar. It was concluded that mangrove rehabilitation will succeed if 1) it is built around an integrated and ecosystem-based approach that takes into account feedback between rehabilitation and other economic activities; 2) its scope is beyond mere planting; 3) local people are involved in planning and monitoring in addition to implementation; 4) all stakeholders are informed of their roles and responsibilities; and 5) species selection is based on ecological and silvicultural knowledge in conjunction with the needs and priorities identified by stakeholders.
Scientific research of geography of Ukrainian rural settlements: the evolution of methodological approaches in context of actual challenges
Authors: Dnistrianska Iryna
Published: March 2020

In this article, the history of studying the geography of the Ukrainian rural settlements is reviewed. The stages of research in view the exploration level of the rural locality in human geography are highlighted within such time limits: XV – the first half XIX cent., the secondary half XIX – the beginning of XX cent., the beginning of XX – till 1991, from 1991. At each of the stages is characterized the main scientific paradigms and explorations which was dedicated to the subject of the rural settlements. Paradigms and methods of studying exactly rural settlements evolved and developed under the influence of historical conditions: from purposefully-descriptive, statistical-descriptive, sectoral-statistical, ethnographic, anthropogeographic, demogeographic to an integral socio-geographical. During the research, it was concluded that geographical exploring of the rural settlements actually was fragmentary until the XX century. Simultaneously, the scientific achievements of the previous periods laid down to definite some methodological basis and source base for further research in this area. Closer to the middle of the XX century, the biggest explorations of Ukrainian rural settlements were conducted by V. Kubiyovych. Later, for ideological reasons, the issue of rural settlement geography was not the focus of attention among Ukrainian geographers of that time until Ukraine gained independence. The topic of the research of the Ukrainian village in scientific circles has risen to a new level and it’s geography according to the scientific centres in Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa, Chernivtsi, Kharkiv and Ternopil since 1991. Modern crisis of the demographic, social, economic state of the rural areas causes the necessity of interdisciplinary further exploration of this problem. Despite the social development and nowadays challenges in this article the main tasks and directions for future research of Ukrainian village are highlighted.

Old-growth and virgin forests of Ukrainian Carpathians: geospatial pattern and prospects of conservation
Authors: Smaliychuk Аnatoliy
Published: March 2020

The article presents the results of geospatial analysis of natural forests of the Ukrainian Carpathians, among which two categories are distinguished – virgin forests and old-growth forests. Field identification of natural forests was carried out in accordance with the criteria and indicators defined by the Carpathian Convention. In total, such forests cover almost 95 thousand hectares in the region, most of which grow within the Zakarpattia region. Most of the natural forests are preserved in the ecoregions of the Polonyny Borzhavy-Krasnoi (17.6 thousand ha) and Central Gorgany (13.2 thousand ha). At the same time, the largest share of natural forests in the total forested area (more than 20 %) was revealed within the ecoregions of Polonyny Borzhavy-Krasnoi, Rakhiv crystalline polonyny and Chyvchyn crystalline polonyny. About 58 % of all identified natural forests are beech-dominated stands, 70 % out of which are pure beech stands. About one-third of the virgin and old-growth forests are spruce stands, which are attributed to the middle-mountain ecoregions. About 5 % of the total area is covered by mountain pine forests, which are mostly monodominant. It was found that currently less than half of the natural forests occur within different types of protected areas, and therefore are protected. About 49 % of all virgin and old-growth forests grow within the 22 sites of the Emerald Network in the Ukrainian Carpathians. At the two key study areas we analyzed the possibility of improving the connectivity of the Emerald Network using natural forest massifs. In some places this possibility is limited by the significant intensity of forest cover loss in the region, including some due to the cuttings. In general, within the identified natural forests, the loss of forest cover was recorded on an area of about 1 800 ha. It was found out also that in 2016–2018, the volume of losses in natural forests increased, while within all forested areas of the Ukrainian Carpathians, it has decreased.

Legal aspects of Palaeolithic sites protection in Ukraine
Authors: Shevtsova Anastasiia
Published: March 2020

Despite the fact that Palaeolithic sites in Ukraine are objects of cultural heritage and protected by law, a large number of them is on the verge of total destruction. Organization of the processes of protection and preservation, as well as monitoring of the state of such sites, is based entirely on state legal acts. The Law of Ukraine On the Protection of the Archaeological Heritage defines the protection of the archaeological heritage as a complex of measures carried out in accordance with the legislation by state authorities, enterprises, institutions, organizations, citizens, aimed at keeping records, protection, preservation, proper maintenance, appropriate use, conservation, restoration, rehabilitation and museisation of archaeological heritage objects, as well as dissemination of knowledge about archaeological heritage. A characteristic feature of the objects of the archaeological heritage is the material embodiment of scientific information, which is largely stored in the place of its formation, regardless of the state of preservation. The basis for the protection of the archaeological heritage is its properties, which impose a ban on any work on this area, except for works related to the scientific research of the archaeological heritage. State regulations in the field of cultural heritage regulate relations connected to the protection of the archaeological heritage of Ukraine – an integral part of the cultural heritage of humankind, a vulnerable and non-renewable source of knowledge about the historical past, as well as determine the rights and responsibilities of archaeological heritage researchers. Scientific research of archaeological heritage is the scientific activity aimed at gaining new knowledge about the objects of archaeological heritage, patterns of development of ancient society and man on the basis of the results of the analysis of archaeological materials and documented information (publications, scientific reports, etc.) of archaeological character. It is extremely important to create the necessary conditions for the state to carry out scientific studies of Palaeolithic sites in order to organize a proper regime for their protection in terms of legislation.
Key words: site, archaeological heritage, cultural heritage, protection of Palaeolithic sites, law, legal norms.
