Exploring the Spatial Pattern of Urban Block Development Based on POI Analysis: A Case Study in Wuhan, China
Authors: Xu Hailing , Zhu Jianghong , Wang Zhanqi
Published: December 2019

As a kind of geospatial big data, point of interest (POI) with useful information has become a hot research topic. Compared with traditional methods, big data has great potential in developing a more accurate method for identifying the urban spatial pattern. This paper uses diversity index and kernel density analysis of POI data on several types of urban infrastructure to investigate the identification of urban block development stages in Wuhan, and divides them into the primary, growth, and mature stage. Its accuracy is verified by exploring urban micro-centers. Results show that: (1) the spatial pattern of urban blocks in Wuhan presents the distribution of “mature blocks concentrated like a core, growth blocks distributed like two wings, and primary blocks with wide range distributed surround”; (2) areas with more connected construction land and streets with better socio-economic status tend to have a higher level of maturity, vice versa; (3) balancing the number of micro-centers at different stages is beneficial to promote the flattened urban development of Wuhan in the future. The research proves that this method is feasible, and it is also applicable to the study of urban spatial pattern in other cities.
Extractive Industries and Investor–State Arbitration: Enforcing Home Standards Abroad
Authors: Boone Barrera Enrique
Published: December 2019

Extractive industries can bring much-needed jobs to remote locations in developing countries. At the same time, there are too many examples where extractive projects bring environmental degradation and human rights violations. Some research has pointed out that the difference between an extractive project that brings positive spillovers for communities and one that destroys communities and poisons the environment is a strong rule of law. However, developing countries often lack strong legal institutions and have high levels of corruption. Furthermore, remote locations are usually the last safe haven for vulnerable populations stricken by poverty. This essay argues that, given these circumstances, home states have a responsibility to do more to control their outward investors, particularly regarding extractive industries. The essay concentrates mostly on Canadian mining companies given the plurality of conflicts involving them and a developing country. The essay will also analyze current efforts at the home state level to rein-in the conduct of extractive industries abroad and advise where they may fall short.
Technological Drivers of Urban Innovation: A T-DNA Analysis Based on US Patent Data
Authors: Nguyen Ngoc Uyen Phuong , Moehrle Martin G.
Published: December 2019

Fast urbanization leads to several challenges in many cities all over the world. Thus, urban innovation is considered a common approach to deal with such questions. Although technologies are important factors in urban innovation, the development of technologies over time, how they affect urban innovation, in which relationship they stand to each other, and how they can be evaluated in a system approach are still not clear. To answer these questions, in our study, a Technology-DNA (T-DNA) is applied to US patents, which represent the most developed market in the world. Our paper provides some theoretical points in urban innovation and a systematic classification of technologies in this field based on patent classes. In addition, this research shows technological drivers in different system levels in urban innovation, especially in the super-system (representing city infrastructures) in detail. Therefore, it may help researchers, managers, politicians, and planners to focus on important technologies and to integrate technological drivers in urban innovation in their plans.
The Effectiveness of Customer Participation and Affective Misforecasting in Online Post-Recovery Satisfaction
Authors: Zhang Yu , Shao Bingjia
Published: December 2019

Online service recovery is directly related to customer follow-up behavior and plays a central role in the sustainable service-oriented enterprise development. This study explored the influence mechanism about how the type of customer participation (physical, mental, and emotional) improves customers’ post-recovery satisfaction by reducing negative bias. Furthermore, the moderating effect of the information format of opening remarks (informal, formal, or hybrid) on the relationship between customer participation and affective misforecasting was investigated. A total of 720 Chinese individuals participated in an online experiment. The results show that, first, only mental and physical participation can improve customers’ post-recovery satisfaction, whereas emotional participation cannot. Second, the direction of affective misforecasting is a mediator between customer participation and post-recovery satisfaction, and compared with negative bias (feeling worse than forecasted), when customers form positive bias (feeling better than forecasted), their post-recovery satisfaction is higher. Third, the fit of the information format of the opening remarks and customer participation type can make customers feel better than forecasted—to generate higher post-recovery satisfaction, for physical and mental participation specifically, the formal format of opening remarks is most suitable, whereas for emotional participation, the hybrid format of opening remarks is most suitable.

Authors: Panpluem Nalun , Mustafa Adnan , Huang Xianlei , Wang Shu , Yin Changbin
Published: December 2019

Rice production holds a significant position in the Thai economy. Although it is the world’s largest rice exporter, Thailand’s increase in rice production is the result of an expansion in the cultivation area rather than an increase in yield per unit area. The present study was designed to estimate the technical efficiency and its governing factors for certified organic rice-growing farms in Yasothon Province, Thailand. A data envelopment model was employed to assess the technical efficiency of 328 farmer groups. The data revealed that the average technical efficiency was 23% and 28% under constant returns to scale (CRS) and variable returns to scale (VRS) specifications, respectively. Farmers can reduce the use of machinery, fertilizer, seed, and labor as input factors by about 80.1%, 25.62%, 24.72%, and 19.15%, respectively, while still achieving the same level of output. Multiple regression analysis was applied to estimate factors that affect the pure technical efficiency score (PTES) in the test regions. Results show that household size, farm size, water source, market accessibility, health symptoms, income, and labor were highly related to the TES and the amount of organic rice production. The regression coefficients of the predictors show that the income was the best predictor of the PTES at a significance level of p < 0.05. It is concluded that the farmers can potentially increase their yields by up to 72%–77% under current management practices.
Alternative Algorithm for Automatically Driving Best-Fit Building Energy Baseline Models Using a Data—Driven Grid Search
Authors: Song Suwon , Park Chun Gun
Published: December 2019

Change-point regression models are often used to develop building energy baselines that can be used to predict energy use and determine energy savings during a given performance period. However, the reliability of building energy baselines can depend on how well the change-point model fits the data measured during the baseline period. This research proposes the use of segmented linear regression models with one or two change points for automatically driving best-fit building energy baseline models, along with an algorithm using a data-driven grid search to find the optimal change point(s) within a given data boundary for the proposed models. The algorithm was programmed and tested with actual measured data (e.g., daily gas and electricity use) for case-study buildings. Graphical and statistical analysis was also performed to validate its reliability within acceptable deviations of an overall coefficient of variation of the root mean squared error (i.e., CV(RMSE)) of 1%, as compared to the results derived from the ASHRAE Inverse Model Toolkit (IMT) that was developed as a public domain program to manually derive the change-point model with user specified parameters. Consequently, it is expected that the algorithm can be applied for automatically deriving best-fit building energy baseline models with optimal change point(s) from measured data.
Failing Services on Urban Waste Management in Developing Countries: A Review on Symptoms, Diagnoses, and Interventions
Authors: Breukelman Hans , Krikke Harold , Löhr Ansje
Published: December 2019

The potential and scale of cities enable economic growth and the improvement of citizens’ access to jobs, education, healthcare, culture, public utilities and services. Solid waste management (SWM) is one of the key services provided by cities. Its operations are complex, very visible to the general public, and impacted by strong financial, societal, and political constraints. Performances in developing countries, however, are not positive. United Nations research shows urban collection services covering no more than 39% of the population in low-income countries. Why are many cities in developing countries not able to use their increasing wealth and scale for basic SWM services such as city cleaning, collection, and sustainable landfilling? This paper provides a review of literature on this question over the last decade. It shows that research is mostly on symptoms and has not led to a deeper diagnosis of causes. Lack of resources, infrastructure, awareness, and institutional strength are often pinpointed as causes but, in fact, they should be addressed as symptoms. These symptoms should be designated as dependent variables in a complex causal network with systemic feedbacks, hindering or neutralizing attempts to improve performances if not properly dealt with. Research should concentrate more on assessing the relations between urbanization, urban processes, and urban governance that shape the performance of urban solid waste management. System dynamics modeling may provide new approaches for this diagnosis.
Can Regional-Scale Governance and Planning Support Transformative Adaptation? A Study of Two Places
Authors: Granberg Mikael , Bosomworth Karyn , Moloney Susie , Kristianssen Ann-Catrin , Fünfgeld Hartmut
Published: December 2019

The idea that climate change adaptation is best leveraged at the local scale is a well-institutionalized script in both research and formal governance. This idea is based on the argument that the local scale is where climate change impacts are “felt” and experienced. However, sustainable and just climate futures require transformations in systems, norms, and cultures that underpin and reinforce our unsustainable practices and development pathways, not just “local” action. Governance interventions are needed to catalyse such shifts, connecting multilevel and multiscale boundaries of knowledge, values, levels and organizational remits. We critically reflect on current adaptation governance processes in Victoria, Australia and the Gothenburg region, Sweden to explore whether regional-scale governance can provide just as important leverage for adaptation as local governance, by identifying and addressing intersecting gaps and challenges in adaptation at local levels. We suggest that regional-scale adaptation offers possibilities for transformative change because they can identify, connect, and amplify small-scale (local) wins and utilize this collective body of knowledge to challenge and advocate for unblocking stagnated, institutionalized policies and practices, and support transformative change.
The Role of Constructed Wetlands as Green Infrastructure for Sustainable Urban Water Management
Authors: Stefanakis Alexandros
Published: December 2019

Nowadays, it is better understood that the benefits of green infrastructure include a series of ecosystem services, such as cooling, water storage and management, recreation and landscaping, among others. Green technologies are still developing to provide sustainable solutions to the problems that modern cities and peri-urban areas face at an ever-increasing rate and intensity. Constructed wetlands technology is an established green multi-purpose option for water management and wastewater treatment, with numerous effectively proven applications around the world and multiple environmental and economic advantages. These systems can function as water treatment plants, habitat creation sites, urban wildlife refuges, recreational or educational facilities, landscape engineering and ecological art areas. The aim of this article is to highlight the synergies between this green technology and urban areas in order to reconnect cities with nature, to promote circularity in the urban context and to apply innovative wetland designs as landscape infrastructure and water treatment solutions. This approach could be a step further in the effort to mitigate the current degradation process of the urban landscape. Following the concept of green infrastructure, the article presents and suggests ways to integrate wetland technology in the urban environment, namely: (i) stormwater and urban runoff management (storage and treatment of water during storm events) to provide protection from flood incidents, especially considering climate change, (ii) innovative low-impact infrastructure and design solutions for urban wastewater treatment, and (iii) wetland technology for habitat creation and ecosystem services provision.
Valuing Households’ Willingness to Pay for Water Transfers from the Irrigation Sector: A Case Study of the City of Seville (Southern Spain)
Authors: Expósito Alfonso
Published: December 2019

Water scarcity is increasing in many countries worldwide, and conflicts between alternative uses have arisen due to the high demand and the effects of climate change, among other factors. This paper employs a contingent valuation (CV) method to determine households’ willingness to pay (WTP) compensation to the irrigation sector to guarantee urban supply reliability under extreme water-scarcity conditions (e.g., during a drought period) through inter-sectoral water transfers. The data was obtained from a survey covering 250 households in the city of Seville. In order to estimate households’ WTP, a double-bounded approach is used. Results show that the average WTP would be between 2.53 and 2.59 euros (on a monthly basis), which would represent a viable annual water transfer of 14.3 Hm3 from the irrigation sector, which would be compensated accordingly. This study shows that inter-sectoral water transfers should be considered a viable adaptation measure to manage the consequences of water scarcity in urban areas.

Published: December 2019

One major topic in the research of path planning of autonomous mobile robots is the fast and efficient coverage of a given terrain. For this purpose, an efficient method for covering a given workspace is proposed, based on chaotic path planning. The method is based on a chaotic pseudo random bit generator that is generated using a modified logistic map, which is used to generate a chaotic motion pattern. This is then combined with an inverse pheromone approach in order to reduce the number of revisits in each cell. The simulated robot under study has the capability to move in four or eight directions. From extensive simulations performed in Matlab, it is derived that motion in eight directions gives superior results. Especially, with the inclusion of pheromone, the coverage percentage can significantly be increased, leading to better performance.

Authors: Bertsias Panagiotis , Psychalinos Costas , Elwakil Ahmed S. , Maundy Brent
Published: December 2019

Voltage-mode and current-mode fractional-order filter topologies, which are capable of realizing various types of transfer functions, are introduced in this paper. Thanks to the employment of the transconductance parameter of the MOS transistors, the derived filter structures offer the benefit of the electronic adjustment of their frequency characteristics. With regards to the literature, the number of MOS transisitors is minimized leading to significant reduction of the circuit complexity and power dissipation. Simulation results, derived using the Design Kit of the 0.35 μm Austria Mikro Systeme CMOS process and the Cadence IC design suite, confirm the correct operation of the presented filter structures.
Coevolution of Snake Venom Toxic Activities and Diet: Evidence that Ecological Generalism Favours Toxicological Diversity
Authors: Davies Emma-Louise , Arbuckle Kevin
Published: December 2019

Snake venom evolution is typically considered to be predominantly driven by diet-related selection pressures. Most evidence for this is based on lethality to prey and non-prey species and on the identification of prey specific toxins. Since the broad toxicological activities (e.g., neurotoxicity, coagulotoxicity, etc.) sit at the interface between molecular toxinology and lethality, these classes of activity may act as a key mediator in coevolutionary interactions between snakes and their prey. Indeed, some recent work has suggested that variation in these functional activities may be related to diet as well, but previous studies have been limited in geographic and/or taxonomic scope. In this paper, we take a phylogenetic comparative approach to investigate relationships between diet and toxicological activity classes on a global scale across caenophidian snakes, using the clinically oriented database at toxinology.com. We generally find little support for specific prey types selecting for particular toxicological effects except that reptile-feeders are more likely to be neurotoxic. We find some support for endothermic prey (with higher metabolic rates) influencing toxic activities, but differently from previous suggestions in the literature. More broadly, we find strong support for a general effect of increased diversity of prey on the diversity of toxicological effects of snake venom. Hence, we provide evidence that selection pressures on the toxicological activities of snake venom has largely been driven by prey diversity rather than specific types of prey. These results complement and extend previous work to suggest that specific matching of venom characteristics to prey may occur at the molecular level and translate into venom lethality, but the functional link between those two is not constrained to a particular toxicological route.
Some Mathematical Aspects of f(R)-Gravity with Torsion: Cauchy Problem and Junction Conditions
Authors: Vignolo Stefano
Published: December 2019

We discuss the Cauchy problem and the junction conditions within the framework of f ( R ) -gravity with torsion. We derive sufficient conditions to ensure the well-posedness of the initial value problem, as well as general conditions to join together on a given hypersurface two different solutions of the field equations. The stated results can be useful to distinguish viable from nonviable f ( R ) -models with torsion.

Published: December 2019

Between 2011 and 2018, 518 respiratory adenovirus infections were diagnosed in a pediatric clinic in Shizuoka, Japan. Detection and typing were performed by partial sequencing of both hexon- and fiber-coding regions which identified: adenovirus type 1 (Ad-1, n = 85), Ad-2 (n = 160), Ad-3 (n = 193), Ad-4 (n = 18), Ad-5 (n = 27), Ad-11 (n = 2), Ad-54 (n = 3), and Ad-56 (n = 1). Considering previous reports of the circulation of an endemic recombinant Ad-2, e.g., Ad-89, 100 samples typed as Ad-2 were randomly selected for further molecular typing by sequencing the penton base-coding region. Despite the high nucleotide sequence conservation in the penton base- coding region, 27 samples showed 98% identity to Ad-2. Furthermore, 14 samples showed 97.7% identity to Ad-2 and 99.8% identity to Ad-89, while the remaining 13 samples showed an average 98% pairwise identity to other Ad-C types and clustered with Ad-5. The samples typed as Ad-89 (n = 14) and as a recombinant Ad type (P5H2F2) (n = 13) represented 27% of cases originally diagnosed as Ad-2, and were detected sporadically. Therefore, two previously uncharacterized types in Japan, Ad-89 and a recombinant Ad-C, were shown to circulate in children. This study creates a precedent to evaluate the epidemiology and divergence among Ad-C types by comprehensively considering the type classification of adenoviruses.

Therapeutic vaccinations aim to re-educate human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1-specific immune responses to achieve durable control of HIV-1 replication in virally suppressed infected individuals after antiretroviral therapy (ART) is interrupted. In a double blinded, placebo-controlled phase IIa multicenter study, we investigated the safety and immunogenicity of intranodal administration of the HIVACAT T cell Immunogen (HTI)-TriMix vaccine. It consists of naked mRNA based on cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) targets of subdominant and conserved HIV-1 regions (HTI), in combination with mRNAs encoding constitutively active TLR4, the ligand for CD40 and CD70 as adjuvants (TriMix). We recruited HIV-1-infected individuals under stable ART. Study-arms HTI-TriMix, TriMix or Water for Injection were assigned in an 8:3:3 ratio. Participants received three vaccinations at weeks 0, 2, and 4 in an inguinal lymph node. Two weeks after the last vaccination, immunogenicity was evaluated using ELISpot assay. ART was interrupted at week 6 to study the effect of the vaccine on viral rebound. The vaccine was considered safe and well tolerated. Eighteen percent (n = 37) of the AEs were considered definitely related to the study product (grade 1 or 2). Three SAEs occurred: two were unrelated to the study product, and one was possibly related to ART interruption (ATI). ELISpot assays to detect T cell responses using peptides covering the HTI sequence showed no significant differences in immunogenicity between groups. There were no significant differences in viral load rebound dynamics after ATI between groups. The vaccine was safe and well tolerated. We were not able to demonstrate immunogenic effects of the vaccine.

Biological properties of the African swine fever (ASF) virus isolates originating from various regions of the Russian Federation (2013–2018) were studied in a series of experimental infections. Comparative analysis allowed us to establish the differences in the key characteristics of the infection, such us the duration of the incubation periods, disease, and the onset of death. The incubation period averaged 4.1 days, varying from 1 to 13 days. An average duration of the disease was 6.3 days and varied from 0 to 18 days. Overall case fatality was 94.5%, and antibodies were detected only in 19.3% of the animals. The biological properties of isolates Odintsovo 02/14 and Lipetsk 12/16 were significantly different from others. For this two, the presence of antibodies to the virus was detected in 71.4% and 75% of animals respectively and mortality levels were of 87.5% and 50%.
Expliquer, comprendre et vivre la maladie
Authors: Porée Jérôme
Published: December 2019

The distinction between explanation and understanding is familiar to philosophers trained in hermeneutics, where the desire is often for a harmonious articulation of the two terms : «to explain more fully in order to understand better. » But does that cover all that can be said ? Sickness, or at least the way sickness is lived by the patient, proves the opposite : sickness implies a lack of understanding greater than our customary dialectics of understanding can overcome. If a phenomenology of sickness were possible, it would have to be a phenomenology without hermeneutics. That said, a genuinely critical hermeneutics might ultimately be drawn from a phenomenology of sickness.
Les sciences de l’esprit sont-elles narratives ?
Authors: Le Du Michel
Published: December 2019

Le but de ce texte est à la fois de cerner la spécificité des sciences de l’esprit et de réfléchir à la place qu’occupe en leur sein la compréhension historique. Beaucoup d’auteurs s’accordent sur le fait qu’expliquer, dans bien des cas, revient à «raconter une histoire » , mais on ne prête souvent pas assez attention au fait qu’au sein de cette locution le terme «histoire » revêt un sens relativement indéterminé, qui n’a pas toujours de lien substantiel avec l’histoire en tant que discipline. D’un autre côté, il semble difficile d’identifier entièrement le sens historique des Geisteswissenschaften à la forme narrative que leur discours prend parfois. La conclusion de l’article est qu’il convient de mettre en lumière une relation plus fondamentale entre sciences de l’homme et historicité, laquelle tient à une propriété du temps auquel elles s’adressent, qui n’est pas le temps naturel.
La Profession de foi de Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Authors: Frey Daniel
Published: December 2019

The Profession of faith of the Savoyard vicar indisputably is that of Rousseau himself. This paper shows that in this profession the philosopher lays out his religious thought in a more systematic way than in his other writings. Starting with the tragic problem of religious intolerance, he defends the possibility to know God by means of a natural theology opposed both to atheist materialism and to the claim of whatever revelation. However, the profession of faith culminates in a remarkable reference to the Gospel, the hermeneutical foundation of which one might question – in line with Gilbert Vincent’s publications.
Job, les femmes, l’argent et la lune. À propos de Job 31
Authors: Marx Alfred
Published: December 2019

Job 31 se présente comme un long plaidoyer au cours duquel Job se propose de démontrer son innocence. Parmi les multiples fautes qu’il se défend d’avoir commis, deux sont tout particulièrement mises en exergue : l’adultère, v. 9-12, et, associé à l’appât de la richesse, l’attrait pour la lune, v. 24-28 qui, selon lui, en découle. Toutes dérivent, en dernière instance, du regard concupiscent porté sur les femmes, lequel, à l’instar de celui qu’Ève a porté sur l’arbre de la connaissance, est considéré par Job comme étant à l’origine de tous les maux qui frappent la société. Cette thèse originale se retrouve dans le Siracide. Elle connaîtra son plein épanouissement dans les milieux esséniens.

ON RHETORICAL POTENTIAL OF “NATIVE-ALIEN” DICHOTOMY
Authors: Bondareva A.A.
Published: December 2019

In the following article we make an attempt to observe a “native-alien” dichotomy from the viewpoint of rhetoric. This binary opposition is an indispensable element of collective outlook and it reveals strong connection with the image of “friend” and “enemy”. Public speeches and propaganda materials from different time periods make it possible to suggest that this opposition can be executed in two ways: the gap between “natives” and “aliens” can be narrowed (construction of the image of “friend”) or widened (construction of the image of “enemy”). In our work we tried to identify rhetorical mechanisms behind these processes and provide their description. The diversity of research material allows to make a conclusion that identified strategies can be used in various situations and can serve as tools for persuasion, propaganda and manipulation.
STEFAN KASHMENSKY AND HIS RELIGIOUS-EDUCATIONAL AND MISSIONARY ACTIVITIES IN THE VYATKA PROVINCE IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE XIX CENTURY
Authors: Polovnikova M.Yu.
Published: December 2019

The article examines the life and work of one of the prominent missionaries and enlighteners of the Russian Empire of the second half of the 19th century, Stefan Kashmensky, based on archival materials and published sources. By virtue of the changed religious policy in the Russian Empire in the second half of the nineteenth century there were changes in religious education and missionary work in the Vyatka province. In the Vyatka Diocese, a special contribution to the development of missionary activity was made by the diocesan missionary, the archpriest Stefan Kashmensky. The article reflects the contribution of Stefan Kashmensky to the organization of full-fledged work with the Gentiles and Old Believers. To strengthen the work with non-believers on his initiative, the Vyatka Committee of the Orthodox Missionary Society was opened in the Vyatka province. Stefan Kashmensky contributed to the reorganization of missionary work with the Old Believers in the Vyatka Diocese. To this end, he, with the support of the clergy, opened an anti-scholastic school in the city of Vyatka to train missionaries from among the peasants. According to the decree of the Holy Synod, the experience of organizing schools against old believers was to spread throughout the Russian Empire. But the main result of the work of Stefan Kashmensky was the creation of the Vyatka brotherhood of St. Nicholas, which led the work in three main areas: with the Old Believers, with the non-Russian population and, later, with the sectarians. Thus, Stefan Kashmensky, through his activity, managed to improve the position of the Russian Orthodox Church in the Vyatka province and prepare missionaries for conducting religious work in all religious areas in the Vyatka Diocese.
“COUNTER-REVOLUTIONARY CRIMES” IN AGRICULTURE OF UDMURTIA IN THE 1930s
Authors: Filatov V.V.
Published: December 2019

The article is devoted to one of the tragic periods in the history of Udmurtia and the whole country. The repressions of the 1930s affected many people in one way or another. Of particular importance was the law enforcement of state crimes, especially the so-called counter-revolutionary crimes. The actual material of that time showed a violation of human rights. Everyone could be declared and condemned as a counter-revolutionary, regardless of his or her position. As a result of repressions, first of all wealthy peasants suffered. They were declared counter-revolutionaries, the main opponents of all actions of the Soviet power in the village. The failures of the collective and state economy were attributed to the enemies of the people, the activities of counter-revolutionary organizations. Protection from mythical criminals turned into punitive actions, into organized Big Terror. The Udmurt regional material shows that repressions against rural residents and other segments of the population on counter-revolutionary crimes did not differ from other regions of the country.
THE PEOPLE’S COMMISSARIAT OF FORESTRY OF THE SOVIET UNION IN 1932-1940 AND THE PROBLEMS OF PERFORMING PLANNED TASKS
Authors: Zykin I.V.
Published: December 2019

The purpose of the article is to analyze the activities of the People’s Commissariat of Forestry of the Soviet Union for performance of planned tasks in 1932-1940 and resolution of problems that arose in the course of their achievement. This aspect of history of the forest industry is poorly investigated and is relevant in terms of studying the economic history of the country during a critical era, such as the "socialist industrialization". The practical importance of the article is connected with the appearance in the period of implementation of the first five-year plans of systemic problems in the development of the industry, which have influenced its current state, and with the need to identify their positive and negative aspects, which can be taken into account and used in determining the prospects of the domestic forest industry. In the article on the basis of unpublished and published sources the statistics of performing planned tasks and the policy of the People’s Commissariat of Forestry, as the main forest user, in relation to the arising problems are considered. The reasons of these difficulties are established. The conclusion is drawn that from the moment of creation in 1932 till the last financial year before the Great Patriotic War, 1940, the department tried to perform plan targets with great difficulties. It turned out to be unrealistic to reach overestimated indicators of the first five-year plans. At the same time, the annual plans were not implemented as well. The People’s Commissariat of Forestry of the USSR in 1932-1940 failed to achieve a significant increase in operational performance and implementation of plans therefore other forest users (people’s commissariats of internal affairs, heavy industry) increased their share in the timber industry.

Resumo: O presente trabalho tem por objetivo investigar as percepções de um grupo de acadêmicas de um curso de Pedagogia sobre o uso do jogo Math Duel como ferramenta para o ensino da tabuada. É válido destacar que esse estudo é parte de uma pesquisa de mestrado que teve por objetivo investigar contribuições das tecnologias móveis para o ensino da tabuada. Assim, ao investigar essas percepções nesse estudo, pretendeu-se que os momentos de interação com o aplicativo fizessem parte do processo formativo das acadêmicas, contribuindo para sua futura prática docente. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida em uma turma do sexto semestre do curso de Pedagogia, composta por oito mulheres, contando por uma parte de interação com o jogo e posteriormente respondendo um questionário sobre o uso do mesmo. As participantes demonstraram motivação, alegria e satisfação em manuseá-lo, mesmo aquelas que não estavam acostumadas a usar as tecnologias móveis. Depois de experimentarem o jogo com seus estudantes de anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental elas afirmam que se pode utilizar jogos digitais para desenvolver e/ou verificar a aprendizagem dos conceitos de tabuada. Para elas o jogo é divertido e envolvente, estimula o cálculo mental, o que permite aprender e resolver as operações da tabuada de forma rápida e eficaz. Conclui-se, com isso, que os jogos digitais despertam a atenção e concentração dos estudantes a partir do envolvimento deles em cada fase/etapa e o sucesso obtido em cada uma delas gera satisfação, o que potencializa a aprendizagem da tabuada para além dos espaços escolares.

Kim Göç Etmek İstiyor? Orta Doğu ve Kuzey Afrika’da Göç Eğilimleri
Authors: OZDEMİR Ugur , ECEVİT Yüksel Alper
Published: December 2019

Orta Doğu ve Kuzey Afrika (MENA) ülkelerinde süregiden siyasi ve iktisadi istikrarsızlık, bölgede yaşayanların yeni bir yaşam arayışında olmasına yol açmakta ve bu arayış, göç etme isteğini de arttırmakta. Göç, MENA ülkelerinin tamamında kalıcı etkiler yaratacak bir olgu olarak önem arz ediyor. Kimlerin göç etmeyi tercih edeceği, hem geride bıraktıkları ülkelerdeki siyasal değişikliği şekillendirmekte, hem de yerleştikleri yeni ülkelerde sosyal hayata kalıcı etkiler bırakmakta. Bu çalışmada, MENA bölgesinde yaşayan ve göç etme eğilimi gösteren bireylerin kararlarını şekillendiren sebepleri araştırdık. Göç etmeyi düşünenler ile düşünmeyenler arasındaki farkları değerlendirdik. Arap Barometresi oluşumunun 2016-2017 yılları arasında gerçekleştirdiği anket çalışmalarına dayanan ve 9 ülkede 7989 kişinin yanıtları ile toplanan verileri kullanarak gerçekleştirdiğimiz nicel analizde; eğitim düzeyi yüksek, siyasetten ve sosyal konulardan beklediğini bulamamış bireylerin göç etme eğiliminin daha yüksek olduğunu tespit ettik. Bu sonuçları değerlendirip olası sonuçlarını tartıştık.
IDENTIDADE DOCENTE PARA O ENSINO SUPERIOR
Authors: Selvati Martins Maria Rosa , Pinheiro Fábio Alexandre , Magaly Ada
Published: December 2019

Os profissionais docentes do Ensino Superior relacionam-se de maneira direta com o desenvolvimento técnico e científico das sociedades. Partindo desse parâmetro, no presente artigo, analisa-se a importância da prática metodológica e do desenvolvimento da identidade do profissional professor. Em uma realidade cuja atividade caracteriza-se pela diversidade de relações e interesses, justifica-se a importância de se racionalizar o processo formativo docente, no intuito de que suas responsabilidades e expectativas sejam ressignificadas.
INTEGRAR SALA DE AULA E REDE SOCIAL: COMPARTILHANDO UMA EXPERIÊNCIA COM PERSPECTIVA GEOMÉTRICA!
Authors: Mongin Rovetta Organdi , Fraga da Silva Sandra Aparecida
Published: December 2019

Este artigo tem por objetivo identificar habilidades do pensamento geométrico de alunos do ensino médio e suas formas de interlocução explicitadas durante o processo de interação na resolução de atividades sobre perspectiva tanto em sala de aula como no ambiente virtual. Trata-se de um recorte de uma pesquisa de mestrado que propôs a utilização pedagógica das redes sociais como um espaço complementar à sala de aula. Selecionamos atividades realizadas em sala de aula e na rede social, que apresentam habilidades do pensamento geométrico construídas por meio da interação de alunos do 3º ano do ensino médio durante sua resolução. Utilizamos como suporte a teoria de Van Hiele, as concepções de Angel Gutiérrez sobre visualização e aos trabalhos de Marcelo Bairral sobre interações em ambientes virtuais. Percebemos que é possível estabelecer uma conexão entre sala de aula e rede social interferindo positivamente na aprendizagem dos alunos. Além do mais, as interações desenvolvidas no ambiente virtual permitem ao professor analisar o desenvolvimento do raciocínio matemático dos alunos.
RECURSOS DIDÁTICOS NA EDUCAÇÃO MATEMÁTICA: JOGOS E MATERIAIS MANIPULATIVOS
Authors: Grando Regina Célia
Published: December 2019

O propósito desse texto é discutir as contribuições que os recursos didáticos podem oferecer à Educação Matemática das crianças, jovens e adultos das escolas. Apresentamos o que entendemos por recursos didáticos em Educação Matemática e dois desses recursos: os materiais manipulativos e os jogos. Inicialmente discutimos cada um desses recursos e suas contribuições para a Educação Matemática nas escolas e, em seguida, focamos a atenção nos jogos computacionais como um recurso didático. O texto apresenta uma experiência de pesquisa com o uso de jogo computacional em aula de matemática evidenciando uma metodologia de trabalho com jogos na perspectiva da resolução de problemas. O foco se dá no processo de produção de uma escrita matemática articulada à ação no jogo computacional.
ALGUMAS CONCEPÇÕES SOBRE A RESOLUÇÃO DE PROBLEMAS E SUA UTILIZAÇÃO COMO ESTRATÉGIA DE ENSINO DE MATEMÁTICA
Authors: Veiga Ferreira de Souza Maria Alice , Ferreira de Souza Sotério
Published: December 2019

As concepções dos professores sobre a utilização da resolução de problemas (RP) como via de aprendizagem de conteúdos, aplicação de conhecimentos ou como fator motivacional podem indicar e possivelmente justificar sua adesão nas aulas de Matemática. Por isso, este trabalho objetivou investigar as concepções de professores sobre a RP e sua utilização como estratégia de ensino, e integra uma investigação mais ampla em andamento, que versa sobre a formação de professores em RP. O estudo qualitativo foi realizado com dez professores de Matemática que atuam em diferentes níveis escolares. Os dados emergiram de um questionário com 43 itens, dos quais nove foram apresentados e discutidos. Os resultados apontaram desconhecimento de gestão de aulas baseadas em RP, apesar de eles reconhecerem as vantagens da RP como estratégia didático-pedagógica.
CIÊNCIA E PODER: A CONSTITUIÇÃO DE DISCURSOS SOBRE A HOMOSSEXUALIDADE
Authors: Tapia Sartori Alice Stephanie , Pereira de Moraes João Carlos
Published: December 2019

A ciência permeia o cotidiano das pessoas, perpassando a constituição no modo de pensar sobre temas polêmicos na sociedade. Neste contexto, este trabalho visa discutir o poder da ciência, as visões sobre ela daqueles que procuram respaldar seus argumentos embasados em padrões científicos e o papel da escola e do livro didático perante isso. Como foco problematizador utilizamos a questão, atualmente debatida, homossexualidade, partindo dos vídeos: entrevista com o pastor Silas Malafaia, resposta do geneticista Eli Vieira e contra resposta do pastor. Como percurso para escrita, iniciamos com alguns apontamentos sobre a história da homossexualidade, como os saberes da ciência influenciaram nessas questões e como são vistas na atualidade. A partir desta problemática delineamos pressupostos utilizados para validar argumentos por meio de aspectos científicos e as concepções de ciência pertinentes aos sujeitos dos vídeos. E, levando em consideração que a escola é um lugar privilegiado para constituição de subjetividades, propomos que questões sociais e concepções sobre ciência podem também ser debatidas ali e não deixadas de lado como vem sendo feitas.
FORMAÇÃO DE PROFESSORES DE FÍSICA: O QUE DIZEM AS ESTATÍSTICAS
Authors: Santos Araujo Renato , De Oliveira Santos Gicélia Maria
Published: December 2019

O presente artigo tem como foco discutir as estatísticas sobre formação de professores de física. A discussão é iniciada a partir dos problemas da educação básica e da carência de professores nas escolas e segue para uma revisão bibliográfica sobre a temática da evasão no ensino superior, com dados estatísticos sobre todos os cursos de graduação e com alguns recortes para as licenciaturas. Metodologicamente o trabalho faz uso da pesquisa documental dentro de uma abordagem quantitativa. Tem como fonte de dados as Sinopses Estatísticas do Ensino Superior do INEP/MEC, as quais foram analisadas por meio de estatística descritiva. Conclui-se que a situação do país poderá piorar nas próximas décadas se empenho e investimentos não forem empregados, pois os dados mostram percentuais de vagas ociosas e de evasão alarmantes, o que leva à necessidade de políticas públicas concretas no sentido de melhorar a qualidade da formação de professores.

Este estudo teve como objetivo identificar nos relatos do fórum online como se estabelecem as relações interpessoais entre os estudantes e os professores durante práticas curriculares em curso de graduação em Enfermagem. Trata-se de investigação documental retrospectiva com abordagem qualitativa realizada no mencionado curso em uma universidade pública. Constituíram fonte de dados os registros postados no fórum do ambiente virtual de aprendizagem, produzidos por 83 estudantes durante práticas curriculares nos dois semestres letivos de 2012. Os dados foram coletados por download, organizados com apoio do software NVivo 10 e analisados com a técnica de análise de conteúdo temática. O tema ‘relações interpessoais na prática curricular’ foi constituído por três subtemas denominados ‘acolhida do professor’, ‘companheirismo’ e ‘receptividade pela equipe de saúde e pacientes’. O fórum online foi um espaço de socialização de vivências, de trocas de pontos de vista entre os estudantes e os professsores durante as práticas curriculares supervisionadas.
