Minhocão: affective re-territorializations in contemporary urban disputes
Authors: Barbosa Eliana Rosa de Queiroz , Marino Cintia Elisa de Castro
Published: May 2021

Abstract This paper presents a case of urban dispute to show how a new political body has been affectively occupying the spheres of participation since the uprisings that occurred in Brazil in June 2013. Minhocão, the target of this urban dispute, is an elevated highway located in the city of São Paulo. Inaugurated in 1970, it has been informally occupied by the inhabitants of its surroundings since the 1980s. Using the notion of “affective re-territorializations” (Hutta, 2019), the article analyses how the rise of conservative and progressive affective fields are reshaping spaces in the contemporary city and, ultimately, influencing urban projects and public policies. Through the analysis of primary and secondary data, the article demonstrates that this space, which used to be the target of informal appropriations, has become the symbol of an affective dispute, being constantly re--signified, alternating progressive and reactionary ideologies.

Published: May 2021

Resumo O objetivo deste trabalho é oferecer um quadro interpretativo que auxilie na compreensão do resultado das eleições presidenciais de 2018, considerando como preponderantes o fator religioso e as pautas morais para a eleição de Jair Bolsonaro. Partimos da hipótese de que o ressentimento é o afeto que catalisa os vínculos de identificação entre Bolsonaro e seu eleitorado, sobremaneira, o evangélico. Assim, após apresentarmos as ferramentas teóricas utilizadas, estruturadas a partir dos conceitos de hegemonia, equivalência e populismo, exploraremos os elementos discursivos dessa configuração, para salientar sua importância através do escrutínio dos dados empíricos, que permitem avançarmos na proposição do discurso religioso como mobilizador privilegiado dos afetos traduzidos em adesão eleitoral ao candidato.
“Conexão Eleitoral”, geografia do voto e produção legislativa: um estudo de caso
Authors: Rocha Carlos Vasconcelos
Published: May 2021

Resumo Este trabalho tece reflexões sobre a geografia do voto das eleições de 2006 para deputados estaduais, em Minas Gerais, considerando o perfil da representação dos municípios da Região Metropolitana de Belo Horizonte. A hipótese considerada é que as regiões metropolitanas seriam sub-representadas nos Legislativos, dado o seu alto grau de competição eleitoral, em relação ao restante dos municípios. As estratégias eleitorais dos candidatos privilegiariam a atuação nos municípios não metropolitanos, que ofereceriam maiores chances de maximização de votos. São utilizadas informações georreferenciadas aos locais de votação. Definidos os padrões de votação, eles são relacionados com as características da trajetória de carreira e a produção legislativa dos deputados, visando a testar algumas hipóteses, especialmente a da conexão eleitoral.
Operações Urbanas Consorciadas em Balneário Camboriú: o desvirtuamento do solo criado
Authors: Siqueira Marina Toneli , Schleder Carolina Silva e Lima
Published: May 2021

Resumo Operações urbanas consorciadas (OUC) foram popularizadas nos planos diretores pós-Estatuto da Cidade, principalmente pela promessa de convergir interesses públicos e privados na implantação de grandes projetos urbanos. O instrumento baseia-se no princípio do solo criado, compartilhando custos e benefícios do desenvolvimento urbano e regularizando a oferta de incentivos ao mercado imobiliário por meio de contrapartidas. Entretanto, seus resultados são polêmicos e ainda pouco explorados em municípios de menor porte. O caso de Balneário Camboriú, objeto desta pesquisa, demonstra o desvirtuamento do solo criado ao permitir a utilização do potencial construtivo gerado pela OUC fora de seu perímetro. Consolidando frentes de expansão imobiliária, o instrumento vem colaborando com a verticalização local e pouco gerou de contribuições para a cidade como um todo.

Published: May 2021

Resumo Introdução: o teletrabalho no domicílio, uma das medidas adotadas para controlar a pandemia de COVID-19 e, ao mesmo tempo, manter o emprego, tem aumentado em vários países. Objetivo: refletir sobre o significado, a magnitude e as tendências do teletrabalho no domicílio, antes e durante a pandemia, enfatizando seus potenciais efeitos na saúde do trabalhador. Discussão: a precedente Convenção 177/1996 da Organização Internacional do Trabalho (OIT) sobre trabalho a domicílio e o acordo sobre teletrabalho entre agentes sociais na União Europeia, em 2002, apontam a dificuldade de regulamentar essa nova forma de organização do trabalho e da prevenção de possíveis lesões e doenças associadas, especialmente transtornos mentais e distúrbios musculoesqueléticos. São necessários estudos sobre os efeitos na saude dessa modalidade de trabalho para fornecer evidências científicas que embasarão normas em nível nacional e global. A inclusão de questões específicas e bem definidas, como as que a OIT propõe, em futuros levantamentos sobre as condições de trabalho, emprego e saúde poderá auxiliar tal objetivo e proporcionar uma oportunidade para observar os efeitos do teletrabalho no domicílio na saúde do trabalhador, bem como avaliar o impacto de uma necessária e urgente regulamentação.

The Need to Adopt Preventative Measures to Combat the Misappropriation of Retirement Fund Assets
Authors: Marumoagae Motseotsile Clement
Published: May 2021

This paper discusses the challenge of the misappropriation of retirement fund assets by trustees, fund asset managers and retirement funds’ administrators. It demonstrates that retirement fund members lose substantial retirement benefits due to the illegal and unlawful conduct of those who manage and administer retirement funds. It evaluates whether the South African legislative framework offers retirement funds and their members adequate protection from activities that may compromise the delivery of the pension promise such as: mismanagement; fraudulent activities; gross negligence; and the outright looting of retirement fund assets. In particular, this paper illustrates that the law in South Africa does not deter would-be wrongdoers from acting in a manner that may compromise the benefits expected by retirement fund members when they exit their funds. It advocates the adoption of adequate preventative legislative measures that would make it difficult for anyone to act in a manner that would compromise retirement fund members' benefits in South Africa.
Churchill Show: Transgressing language codes and upsetting stereotypes
Authors: Lumasia Patrick Chesi
Published: May 2021

Cultural productions on television and/or online platforms are immensely prolific at expressing the peoples’ every day and the historical. They provide platforms on which actors express themselves on their own terms, in their own language codes and styles with little censure. With the proliferation of digital technologies and the advent of the internet and attendant new media, the production, circulation, and consumption of cultural texts on the (Eastern) African scene has radically shifted and continues to grow in ways unimagined before. In Kenya specifically, with an exponential growth of television channels, numerous local cultural productions continue to burgeon, carrying with them a constellation of voices that are representative of the country’s socio-cultural and linguistic diversity. These productions not only entertain, but also explore critical issues in Kenyan society and beyond. Among them is Churchill Show, which through an aesthetics of escapism, (re)narrates quotidian events and recuperates and (re)interprets the country’s historical trajectory. Moreover, the show oftentimes embodies a political aesthetics cloaked in postmodern humour that serves to recalibrate common/sensical perceptions as well as the regimented practices and ways of knowing. Thus, the show transgresses language codes and upsets socio-psychological stereotypes, for which it is often condemned, to shape a new notion of ‘Kenyanness’.

Identification of the ESP sensors condition during the vehicle service life
Authors: Gajek Andrzej , Kot Adam , Strzępek Piotr
Published: May 2021

The paper presents the proposals of extension of the periodic tests of the selected ESP system sensors: angular velocity sensor and lateral acceleration sensor using a universal diagnostics tester and a plate stand (a wheel play detector unit). The idea of this approach is to evaluate the signals from the above sensors in terms of their amplitude and frequency in the case of known forcing at the plate stand. Knowledge of the amplitude and frequency of the plates excitation and the model of tested vehicle allows for predicting the response of vehicle. On this way the verification of sensors indications is possible. This article presents the flat model of a vehicle placed on the plate stand, simulation tests and the results of its validation for three different vehicles. The results of the investigation show that the wheelbase of vehicle has a significant impact on the steady-state vibration amplitude. This conclusion is important in the practical application of this method to test the vehicle yaw rate sensor in the ESP system.

SPATIAL-TEMPORAL CHANGES OF BIOCLIMATE FACTORS IN EUROPE
Authors: Didukh Ya.P. , Vynokurov D.S.
Published: May 2021

Based on the data from Worldclim 2.0 and the Climatic Research Unit, calculations of bioclimatic hydrothermal indicators were carried out. It is pointed out that the following factors determine the development and distribution of biota, and are used for the synphytoindication method: thermoregime, cryoregime, continentality, ombroregime. Thermoregime is based on mean annual temperatures and FAR, which are highly correlated. They also are connected with the vegetative period. It was found that the higher the latitudes and the more continental climate, the sharper the changes in average annual temperatures, as well as accordingly the vegetation period is longer. Cryoregime is one of the most significant limiting factors that determine the distribution of species, their ontogenetic cycle, the peculiarities of their phenology etc. We used average January temperatures to calculate it. It has been suggested that the change in cryoclimate led to the expansion of maple. It has an advantage over hornbeam, linden and oak because its phenological features have changed. Continentality and ombroregime affect the distribution of communities at the landscape level. We used the Gorchinsky index to calculate the continentality and the de Martonne index to calculate the ombroregime. Their change for some types of habitats contributes to the expansion of their distribution, and for others – to their reduction. As a result, there is a zonal replacement of some types of habitats by others (forests-steppes-deserts). Instead, for azonal types of habitats (aquatic vegetation, eutrophic swamps, meadows), these factors are not limiting. Corresponding maps have been created that reflect 30-year time intervals (1901-1929, 1930-1959, 1960-1989 and 1990-2019) and regional changes within Europe. A rather significant change is recorded at the turn of the XX-XXI centuries (1990-2019), which is associated with climate warming. Temporal and regional changes are multidirectional (in nature, gradient and magnitude). Correlations between them and bioclimatic parameters have been established. This serves as a basis for assigning Ukraine to four types of bioclimate (sub-humid suboceanic – forest and forest-steppe zones; subarid subcontinental – steppe zone, mountainous – Carpathians and mountain-sub-Mediterranean – Mountain Crimea). Each of them is characterized by qualitative differences. When developing appropriate forecasts for the development and changes of biota and ecosystems, it is necessary to take into account these features.

Authors: Et al. A. A. Abd El-Aziz
Published: May 2021

The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) Criteria for Computing Accreditation Commission Programs are based upon knowledge, presentation  skills,  communication  skills,  team  work and leadership skills that the  students  gain  through the curriculum in a program. The student outcomes (SOs) are the procured skills  and  knowledge  which the student accomplishes through the curriculum. Each program needs to have  its own SOs and  to evaluate it as per defined assessment cycle, just as to accomplish program educational objectives (PEOs). The continuous improvement plan depended on assessment and evaluation of the program SOs and PEOs. In this paper, an advancement cycle for continuous improvement, for Information systems (IS) program at College of Computer and Information Sciences (CIS), Jouf University, Sakaka, Aljouf, Saudi Arabia, to accomplish the accreditation is discussed. The proposed cycle is appropriate to get the accreditation for bachelor program in information systems discipline and to fulfill the ABET criteria. In result, we will show how the SOs and PEOs were surveyed and assessed through curriculum accordingly. Based on these processes, ABET team has visited CIS college, which had accomplished extraordinary achievement and all of the programs have completely accredited on August 2018 and the next visit to the computing and engineering programs will be on 2026.
Hybrid and Adaptive P&O Maximum Power Point Tracking Techniques for PV Generation Systems
Authors: Essam E. M. Mohamed Eman Eltaher, Abdel-Raheem Youssef,
Published: May 2021

Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques work to track the maximum power from the PV cell. A lot of conventional MPPT techniques, such as the perturb and observe (P&O), succeed in catch the maximum power point (MPP) with a good performance. However, they suffer many problems during fast varying weather conditions, where slow time response and high oscillations are dominant. Also, it is difficult to select the right direction for new steps. This article illustrates two new P&O MPPT techniques for PV generation systems. They operate on the power-voltage (P-V) curve under different weather conditions. The first is an adaptive perturb and observe (A-PO) technique, which changes the perturbation step-size adeptly to deal with the rapidly varying weather conditions. The second is a hybrid perturb and observe technique (H-PO), which uses a variable step-size according to the location of the operating point relative to the MPP. The MATLAB/SIMULINK software is used to study the truth of the proposed techniques. The results demonstrate that both techniques attain the MPP faster than the conventional techniques and at a reduced oscillation rate.
Probabilistic Model for Resource Demand Prediction in Cloud
Authors: Dr B Raghu, Dr V Khanaa Niraja Jain,
Published: May 2021

Dynamic cloud infrastructure provisioning is possible with the virtualization technology. Cost, agility and time to market are the key elements of the cloud services. Virtualization is the software layer responsible for interaction with multiple servers, bringing entire IT resources together and provide standardized Virtual compute centers that drives the entire infrastructure. The increased pooling of shared resources helps in improving self-provisioning and automation of service delivery. Probabilistic model proposed in this article is based on the hypothesis that the accurate resource demand predictions can benefit in improving the virtualization layer efficiency. The probabilistic method, uses the laws of combinatorics. The probability space gives an idea about both the partial certainty and randomness of the variable. The method is popular in theoretical computer science. The probabilistic models provide the predictions considering the randomness of the variables. In the cloud environment there are multiple factors dynamically affecting the resource demand needs. The resource demand has a certain degree of certainty but the randomness of requirements. This further leads to decrease in risk related to leveraging cloud services. It accelerates development and implementation of cloud services that overall improves the services pertaining to SLA.

Published: May 2021

Primary education after early childhood education is an important momentum in the education stage of a human being, in this case, education at the grade 1 level of elementary school. Where the delivery of subject matter properly and correctly at the early stages of this primary education will affect human education in the future. As well as the importance of early education at the elementary level, mathematics is an important initial subject to be given properly and correctly, so that the specter that says mathematics is a difficult subject is not true when a student in the early stages of basic education gets a good and correct mathematics education. Moreover, The Covid19 pandemic period is one of the parameters of the difficulty of knowledge transfer for students in the early stages of basic education, where physical meetings are not allowed to avoid Covid19 transmission in the classroom. Therefore, integrated tutoring systems (ITS) are a knowledge transfer tool that can help teachers, students, and parents in the delivery of subject matter, especially mathematics subjects which have a track record of being a scourge, scary and difficult to learn. In this paper, a simple ITS specifically for tutoring mathematics lessons for grade 1 elementary school students in Indonesia is tried to be implemented using the Unified Modeling Languages ​​(UML) tool as an object-oriented modeling tool. Use case diagrams are applied to describe business processes in the ITS system that we built and use class diagrams modeled database table designs. Not to forget, the user interface (UI) from the results of the implementation prototype was displayed as a communication medium for users, both children, and tutors, in using applications built using Personal Home Pages (PHP) and MySQL.

Authors: Dr Parul Gandhi Bharti Bisht,
Published: May 2021

In order to meet the fast software evolution, there is a call for the work on software development based process by reducing time as well as efforts. The aim of the development process should not only be developing software products and services but also focus on improving the quality of the particular software. Software Reusability can be considered as one of the solutions to achieve both objectives i.e. productivity as well as quality. There has been an evolution of various methods and techniques related to construction of reusable components over many years. Object-oriented approach also assures increased software reusability. It is easier to reuse object-oriented software rather than conventional software. The notion of reusability related to Object-oriented software can be achieved through inheritance which in turn contributes to development of reusable components. In this paper different metrics related to software reusability of Object-oriented software systems has been summarized and evaluated using Python. Three python-based programs are considered as datasets for this study-the first dataset depicts single-level inheritance, the second dataset depicts hierarchical inheritance whereas the third dataset depicts multilevel inheritance. This study shows more impact of multilevel inheritance on the reusability of Object-oriented software systems and also helped to understand the important role of metrics in evaluation of object-oriented systems.
Machine Learning Approach to Select Optimal Task Scheduling Algorithm in Cloud
Authors: Suraj Prabhu Chinmai Shetty, Dr. Sarojadevi H,
Published: May 2021

The flexibility provided by the cloud service provider at reduced cost popularized the cloud tremendously. The cloud service provider must schedule the incoming requests dynamically. In a cloud environment tasks must be scheduled such that proper resource utilization is achieved. Hence task scheduling plays a significant role in the functionality and performance of cloud computing systems. While there exist many approaches for boosting the task scheduling in the cloud, it is still an unresolved issue. In this proposed framework we attempt to optimize the usage of cloud computing resources by applying machine learning techniques. The new proposed framework dynamically selects the scheduling algorithm for the incoming request rather than arbitrary assigning a task to the scheduling algorithm. The scheduling algorithm is predicted dynamically using a neural network which is the best for the incoming request. The proposed framework considers scheduling parameters namely cost, throughput, makespan and degree of imbalance. The algorithms chosen for scheduling are 1) MET 2) MCT 3) Sufferage 4)Min-min 5) Min-mean 6) Min-var. The framework includes 4 neural networks to predict the best algorithm for each scheduling parameters considered for optimization. PCA algorithm is used for extracting relevant features from the input data set. The proposed framework shows the scope for the overall system performance by dynamically selecting precise scheduling algorithms for each incoming request from the user.

Analytics provides insight to people based on the analytics of past usage by using techniques such as statistics, data mining, machine learning and artificial intelligence. Lack of monitoring system of browsing causes low engagements that reduce the growth of certain businesses caused by unnecessary browsing for students learning time. This paper presents an analysis on browsing behavior that classifies browsed words followed their ethical word-groups browsing. An Analytic platform is created as a monitoring system of browsing behavior. Data mining, indexing and classification method are used in this research as data is the essential key of creating a predictive model and four types of ethical groups have been filtered based on the browsing behaviors. The browsed words are categorized into four types of browsing called queries, applications, social media, Campus-related sites. The research method uses software tools and data mining process on the browsing data and analytics is presented on the development of the dashboard mainly using the R programming language. Few unethical words using the indexing method are generated in analytic graphs based on the type of browsing versus time. Data collected from the browsing behaviors of students’analysis taken from browsing database of personal computer and laboratory computer in the campus network. The result shows that othercategories are the highest categories which reached79.6% for personals' computer browsing compared to72.4% browsing at the laboratory computers. It is identified that about 21% of the browsing behavior was filtered during the data mined processed. The other category is still on the research portfolio where these libraries must be filtered in detail to identify whether they are learning or non-learning activities. This research is significant in that helps to increase the effectiveness of suggestions applications, optimize the internet usage by blocking unnecessary words or webpages, and even campus guide systems by monitoring the surrounding browsing behavior of the students’ usages of the campus network computer labs.

Resource Aware Gaussian Regressive Jarvis Patrick Clustering for Reliable Data Transmission in E-Health using WSN-IoT
Authors: Et al. M. Suguna
Published: May 2021

Wireless sensor network (WSN) includes numerous sensor nodes (SN) integrated with Internet of Things (IoT) play a crucial role in numerous applications. IoT links physical devices as sensor and forms whole network for sharing information.  The IoT has been used in different domains. In this scenario, patients utilize wearable medical sensors to monitor medical parameters. This medical sensor is equipped with batteries and has limited energy. Therefore, the network lifetime enhancement is a major challenging issue. To prolong network lifetime, novel technique called Resource-efficient Gaussian process regressive Jarvis Patrick clustering (REGPRJPC) is introduced. At first, the IoT devices are used in SN for sensing and collecting the patient data. After data collection process, SN is grouped into diverse clusters using Jarvis Patrick clustering technique. Jarvis Patrick clustering is graph-based clustering to partition SN with help of Gaussian process regression function. The regression function analyzes the SN and performs the clustering process based on the estimated energy and bandwidth. After clustering process, cluster head (CH) is selected to enhance data transmission and minimizes delay. Source node transmits gathered data to their CH. Then CH finds nearest CH using time of flight method. Followed by, data transmission is performed from source to sink node via the cluster head. In this way, resource-efficient data transmission is performed in WSN.  Numerical analysis indicates that the REGPRJPC technique efficiently improves the reliable patient data packet delivery and minimizes the loss rate, delay.

This paper reports on asynchronous peer teaching in which learners create multimodal explanations or tutorials for future cohorts. Japanese learners of English work individually or in teams to produce video and audio explanations. Multimodal explanations that meet the quality requirements are uploaded to the respective course websites housed on the university server. The aim is that student audio-visual developers learn during the creation process and student users learn from the multimodal resources developed. Each year a new cohort of students makes a new set of explanations. The mean quality of the multimodal explanations increases annually as the less useful or less popular video and audio files are replaced. This creates a continuous cycle of incremental improvement.
Research Insights: Unintended Byproducts of News Coverage about Noncompliance: A Social Norms Exploration
Authors: Martínez Villarreal Déborah , Parilli Cristina , Scartascini Carlos , Simpser Alberto
Published: May 2021

Social norms used in communications can help/hurt compliance with public health guidelines. In Mexico, a survey experiment was conducted to explore the knowledge-behavior gap in social distancing noncompliance. Despite believing that attending social gatherings is inappropriate, communicating to a person that friends are highly likely to attend the party increases the probability of generalizing others attendance and possibly their own. Believing that it is appropriate to attend a party during COVID-19 and knowing that most friends will go does not make one more likely to guess that a person will attend that party than if one believed it was not appropriate to attend the party. This represents a contradiction.

O ozônio (O3) é um poluente que tem alto potencial oxidante e pode induzir sintomas foliares visíveis em espécies vegetais. Esses sintomas são de fácil identificação e quantificação e são utilizados em programas de monitoramento de risco à vegetação induzido pelo O3. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a suscetibilidade da vegetação ao O3 presente nos Campi Centro e Dutra da UNG, no Bosque Maia e na vegetação presente no Paço Municipal de Guarulhos, por meio do levantamento de sintomas foliares visíveis em diferentes espécies. Esses locais foram visitados e percorridos em sua totalidade no início da primavera de 2018 e no início do outono de 2019. As plantas ali presentes foram avaliadas quanto à presença de sintomas foliares visíveis. Os sintomas encontrados foram identificados seguindo os procedimentos encontrados no Manual do ICP-Forest. As plantas que apresentaram sintomas foram identificadas em nível de espécie, fotografadas e amostras de suas folhas foram examinadas por meio de microscopia óptica, a fim de excluir a possibilidade de o sintoma ser uma imitação daqueles sintomas causados por outros fatores bióticos ou abióticos. Os resultados obtidos nos dois períodos mostraram que as concentrações de ozônio medidas no município de Guarulhos no período estudado foram suficientes para causar injúrias foliares visíveis nas plantas de goiabeira e amoreira (as medidas da concentração de O3 variaram entre 10 mg.m-3 e 69 mg.m-3 nos locais de estudo). O número de indivíduos de goiabeira que apresentaram sintomas foliares visíveis no fim do verão/início do outono, aumentou em relação ao início da primavera no Bosque Maia e Paço Municipal, possivelmente por ficarem mais tempo expostos ao poluente. Somente no fim do verão/início do outono foram observados indivíduos de amoreira com sintomas foliares visíveis. Esse foi o primeiro registro de sintomas foliares visíveis causados por ozônio em amoreira feito no Brasil.

Este ensaio tem como objetivo conhecer as concepções e os fundamentos que embasam os Institutos Federais de Educação, com a finalidade de refletir acerca da atuação e dos processos de formação dos docentes na/para a Educação Profissional e Tecnológica (EPT). Para tanto, a partir de uma abordagem metodológica qualitativa do tipo bibliográfica, e pautado nas bases conceituais da EPT, apresenta: a) os procedimentos metodológicos; b) as concepções que embasam a proposta educativa da EPT, c) os desafios da atuação do profissional docente e d) o processo de formação do professor nessa modalidade de ensino. Constatou-se que a formação docente voltada para a EPT deve contemplar a compreensão por parte dos docentes de que o ensino ultrapassa a mera profissionalização e, sobretudo, necessita estar comprometido com a formação humana integral do educando.

O presente artigo tem seu foco na educação para os direitos humanos no espaço não formal de ensino. A análise do tema se dá por meio das representações das detentas encarceradas no sistema penitenciário paraibano. Assim, a proposta deste artigo é identificar, a partir da perspectiva das encarceradas, qual o entendimento delas sobre os direitos humanos, pois a educação voltada para esses direitos pode trazer benefícios não apenas para elas, mas para o desenvolvimento social como um todo. O estudo também busca identificar se há um interesse, por parte das detentas, em aprender mais sobre essa temática. Quanto à metodologia, trata-se de uma pesquisa de campo com uma abordagem qualitativa, tendo sido também realizados levantamentos bibliográficos e documentais. A coleta de dados foi realizada junto às presidiárias por meio de entrevistas individuais e semiestruturadas. Os dados foram analisados com base na teoria da Análise do Discurso (AD), seguindo a linha francesa de Michel Pêcheux. No caso desta pesquisa, temos um tipo de amostragem não probabilística, já que as mulheres participantes foram escolhidas mediante critérios previamente delineados. Em linhas gerais, os resultados da pesquisa demonstram que é necessário o desenvolvimento da educação para os direitos humanos no ambiente carcerário, espaço não formal de ensino, e que há um interesse das apenadas em aprender mais sobre esse tema.
Terceirização: um estudo sobre trabalho e trabalhadores do IFPB, Campus João Pessoa

Este artigo objetiva apresentar os resultados do nosso estudo sobre a terceirização no IFPB, Campus João Pessoa, entre 2017 e 2019, com projetos executados a partir de editais vinculados na instituição. Buscamos compreender o fenômeno da terceirização na Administração Pública por meio dos trabalhadores ligados ao suporte ao ensino. Escolhemos a metodologia quantitativa para sistematizar os dados oriundos dos 38 questionários aplicados e das entrevistas semiabertas, com aporte teórico da Sociologia do Trabalho. A terceirização, como prática do trabalho, não é um fenômeno novo. Ela é considerada para a administração um dos mecanismos potencializadores do alcance da gestão, porém pode revelar situações de degradação no trabalho e gargalos na obtenção da eficiência, dependendo de como ocorrem as contratações. A abordagem do tema nos faz compreender os trabalhadores chamados para a eficiência, mas colocados nos bastidores. Quem são esses trabalhadores? Como percebem o seu próprio trabalho? Como se relacionam com a instituição? Quais setores ocupam? Por fim, tais observações nos mostram o cenário dos impactos do trabalho terceirizado, bem como suas condições. Visto que o trabalho é um elemento estruturante das relações sociais, refletir sobre esse assunto é compreender todas as suas dimensões no serviço público.
Metaphor in discursive poetics of árpad kovács
Authors: Molnár Angelika
Published: May 2021

The article provides an overview of the main theoretical and methodological premises of discursive poetics and indicates the key role of metaphor in this analytical and interpretive frame. The topic is delivered on the basis of a long-term research of Árpad Kovács who proposed an original integrative analysis (from sign to genre particulares) when referring to the classic texts of Russian, Hungarian and Western European literature. He is also known as the founder of the Budapest school of discursive poetics. In contrast to the range of linguistic, philosophical and aesthetic definitions of metaphor, Kovács complements and develops the poetical tradition of metaphor studies and demonstrates the multidimensional phenomenon of metaphor by analyzing and interpreting literary texts. The metaphor in Kovács’s discursive poetics demonstrates the organic connection between poetics and the existential sphere of life experience. The article gives a set of concepts such as “intonation metaphor”, “existential metaphor”, “metaphorical digression”, which were introduced or reinterpreted by Kovács.
INTERCONTEXTUAL READING OF ROBERT MUSIL’S “MAN WITHOUT QUALITIES”
Authors: Belobratov Alexander W.
Published: May 2021

The analysis of the active reception process, the interaction of “its own” and “alien” seems very fruitful in the study of the epoch-making Robert Musil’s novel “Man without qualities” (1930–1942). The analytical evaluation of the Austrian author’s contact with the “alienness” (in this case, with Russian literary classics) in the form of the discovery of “his own essence” is carried out at the micro-level of individual concepts, expressions, descriptions of characters, and explicit or implicit quotations. The intertextual level of reading the novel expands at the expense of the intercontextual level. Thus, the literary text is read from the foreign (Russian) reader’s cultural referential framework. This means an attempt to recognize the reader’s “own essence” in the “alienness” text, to reinterpret a foreign text, when, on the one hand, the “own essence”, i.e. in this case the work of the 19th century Russian novelists, is subjected to scrutiny in relation to its reception of the Austrian writer as “alien”. On the other hand, Musil’s novel is read through the lens of Russian cultural awareness, and included in the contextual framework of Russian reception, formed by Goncharov’s, Dostoevsky’s, and Leo Tolstoy’s works.
Costs of research and development

Year by year, research and development works constitute an increasingly important ele-ment of the functioning of enterprises. Appropriate recording of expenditure and settlement of their effects requires (above all) determination of the actual stage of works. Consequently, there is a dis-tinction between research and development works. Another aspect that determines the principles of recognizing expenditure in the accounting books is to determine whether the developed product/technology belongs to the area economically developed by the unit or to the unrecognized area. The adequate determination will help to place expenses either in the sphere of activity and basic unit or in the sphere of other operating activity. Financial reporting for intangible assets is perhaps one of the most difficult and most controversial topics of financial reporting. In this article it is compared three concepts of financial reporting for R&D costs: IFRS approach, Czech approach for non-profit organizations and Czech approach for profit organizations.
