HIGHLY DISCRETE MAPPING OF THE GROWING SEASON TIME FRAMES AND
TIME DYNAMICS
Authors: Rykin I. , Shagnieva A. , Panidi E. , Tsepelev V.
Published: August 2019

Abstract. Growing season time frames can be estimated and mapped using the vegetation indexes mapping and analysis. This approach brings significant benefit consisted in the ability of detailed (highly discrete in the meaning of spatial resolution) mapping of spatial differences in growing season stage and length. In comparison with interpolation of ground air temperature (applied when using temperature to detect growing seasons), real spatial resolution raises to kilometers per pixel and higher, while nodes of ground observation network can be spaced by thousands of kilometers in some regions. Our ongoing study is devoted to design a processing chain for mapping of growing season time frames basing on vegetation indexes data with close-to-one-day time resolution. We used MOD09GA dataset as an initial data. Data processing was implemented in Google Earth Engine big geospatial data platform.
THE USE OF 3D BUILDING DATA FOR DISASTER MANAGEMENT: A 3D SDI PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Sulistyah U. D. , Hong J.-H.
Published: August 2019

Abstract. In recent years, the demands of 3D cyber-city have been steadily growing. With strong links to the citizens’ lives, building information is considered as the most important component in the 3D urban model. To further facilitate the best usage of 3D data, the development of 3D SDI requires creative thinking to meet different application needs. While many current applications are restricted to visualization only, we argue the 3D building data in 3D SDI must at least consider the issues of feature modelling, identification, semantics, level of details, cross-domain linking and services. This paper intends to assess the use of the semantic-enriched 3D building data in the applications of disaster management. Based on CityGML, we first create 3D building data based on a hierarchy of building-storey-household representation. Identifier systems are respectively developed for each level of features for the purpose of identifying individual features and linking to other sources of data, e.g., the household registration information. By reviewing and comparing the outcomes of the past research of 3D flood simulation, we demonstrate the improved 3D building data additionally enables the direct impact analysis at the chosen level of features, as well as visually present enriched analyzed outcomes for decision making, e.g., the number of trapped people in specific floor. As the merits of the SDI is to share reliable information, encourage multiple-purpose applications and avoid duplicated spending, we thereby conclude the necessity to further examine the level of details and multiple representation of the serviced 3D building data for cost-effective and cross-domain application development.
AERIAL FIREFIGHTING OF FOREST FIRES – SPATIAL DATA SUPPORT
Authors: Špulák P.
Published: August 2019

Abstract. The main aim of the article is to show the usage of spatial data for support of aerial firefighting of forest fires. First, the support of strategic level decision is shown, and after that, the support of the tactical and operational level is demonstrated. The strategic level decisions are supported with various cartographical outputs showing the distribution and trends of the forest fires in the area of the Czech Republic. These maps are based on the data concerning the emergencies collected on the operational centers of the Fire and Rescue Service of the Czech Republic. The created maps serve as a support for the decisions concerning the strengthening of the assets for aerial firefighting of the forest fires. In this way, the spatial data concerning the emergencies, are used to support the strategic decisions. The outcome of these decisions is the public procurement focused on the selection of the aircraft of the private owners, which will bolster the current state assets for wildfires suppression. The operational and tactical level of aerial firefighting of forest fires is supported with the published layer, which contains the selected places for water supply to the aircraft during the forest fire suppression operation. The places were selected on the regional offices of Fire and Rescue Service of the Czech Republic. The data was sent in the form of Office Open XML Workbook (xlsx) (Microsoft Excel table) to the General Directorate. There the data was collected and processed by the Java program into the form of ArcGIS Server feature layer. This process makes the data available through the whole Fire and Rescue Service of the Czech Republic in a standardized manner.
COMBINING SOCIAL MEDIA AND AUTHORITATIVE DATA FOR CRISIS MAPPING: A CASE STUDY OF A WILDFIRE REACHING CROATIAN CITY OF SPLIT
Authors: Tavra M. , Racetin I. , Peroš J.
Published: August 2019

Abstract. Due to climate changes, wildfire breakouts get more frequent and difficult to control. In the mid-July 2017, the wildfire spread from wildland to the city of Split, the second-largest city in Croatia. This unpredictable spread almost caused the collapse of emergency response systems. Fortunately, a greater tragedy was avoided with the composure of the responsible services and the help of the citizens. The citizens helped in extinguishing the fire and timely provided the significant amount of disaster-related information on different platforms and through social media. In this paper, we address the problem of identifying useful Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) and georeferenced social media, for improving situation awareness while the wildfire was reaching the Croatian city of Split. Additionally, we combine social media with other external data sources (e. g. Sentinel-2 satellite images) and authoritative data (e.g. Croatian National Protection and Rescue Directorate official data and Public Fire Department of Split data) to establish the geographical relations between the wildfire phenomena and social media messages. In this manner, we seek to leverage the existing knowledge and data about the spatiotemporal characteristics of the Split wildfire in order to improve the identification of useful information from georeferenced social media with other integrated data sources that can be valuable for improving situation awareness in wildfire events.
LONG TERM CHANGES IN FLOODING AROUND GIFU CITY
Authors: Toshiharu K. , Narantsetseg C.
Published: August 2019

Abstract. Heavy rainfall within a short period and consequent high river discharge are results in floods which subsequently creates huge infrastructure problems for areas, such huge economic deficits in production as well as damages to existing property and goods, even loss of human lives. In about hundred years ago the flat-land around the Kiso Three Rivers system (the catchment areas of the Kiso River, Nagara River, and Ibi River are called the Kiso Three River system) included Gifu City, Gifu Prefecture of Japan, was frequently damaged by inundation after heavy rainfall. Our research aims to evaluate flood risk changes by river improvement in the Kiso Three River system fin the past hundred years. For that reason, we simulated in several times on flood inundation in the large, medium and low scale case in the urban area of Gifu city with 2D flood inundation model, and compared the distribution of flood depth. The results, the flood inundation area in urban area for small scale flood disaster dramatically is reduced from 3.82 km2 in the past time to 0.48 km2 in the current time with the progress of river infrastructure improvement. However flooded area in urban area for large and middle scale disaster show the almost same. It is suggested that flood risks in urban area are dramatically improved for only small disaster.

Published: August 2019

Abstract. Surveying and mapping technologies played a significant role in former emergency response activities. Despite remarkable progress on emergency surveying and mapping has been achieved in China, there are still some limits to meet the quick and smart response requirements. Aiming to fill the gaps, Chinese government has proposed a capacity building project for geo-information driven emergency response. In this paper, the business process and data flow of emergency surveying and mapping are analysed firstly. Then, the major design of this project is introduced through 4 parts. These are capacity of UAV aerial photography, capacity of field surveying, capacity of smart service and capacity of data integration. Finally, the preliminary progress and prospective achievement are discussed. The implementation of this project could be an example for comprehensive application of advanced surveying and mapping technologies, and could also be a basis to improve our national emergency response framework.
MODELLING OF POPULATION EXPOSURE TO LANDSLIDE RISK IN SUKABUMI, INDONESIA USING GIS
Authors: Wiguna S. , Gao J.
Published: August 2019

Abstract. Modelling population exposure to landslide risk is essential for mitigating the damage of landslides. This research aims to assess population exposure to the modelled landslide risk in the Sukabumi region, Indonesia. Also assessed in this study is the importance of 10 environmental variables and their spatial association with past landslide occurrence using the Weight of Evidence (WOE) method. The accuracy of the modelled landslide susceptibility is assessed using the AUC ROC method. Village level population was spatially redistributed via dasymetric modelling, and overlaid with the modelled landslide susceptibility map differentiated by the source zone and the runout zone. It is found that slope, curvature, and soil are the three most influential variables of landslides. The WOE method is able to achieve a similar success rate (0.877) and prediction rate (0.876) in modelling landslide susceptibility. In 2017, medium (114,588 ha) and high (106,337 ha) susceptibility levels were the two largest classes while low (94,778 ha), very high (52,560), and very low (51,910 ha) susceptibility classes are much less extensive. An absolute majority of the population faces a high (1,081,875 people or 38.98% of the total population), and a medium (1,036,080 people or 37.33%) level of landslide risk. Those facing a low (409,658 people or 14.76%), very high (168,193 people or 6.06%), and very low susceptibility (79,656 people or 2.87%) account for slightly more than one fifth of the total population. These findings demonstrate the critical role of GIS in assessing the exposure of population to landslide risk from a diverse range of variables.
FLOOD ANALYSIS WITH REMOTE SENSING DATA –
A CASE STUDY: MARITSA RIVER, EDIRNE
Authors: Sunar A. F. , Yagmur N. , Dervisoglu A.
Published: August 2019

Abstract. A flood, one of the most devastating natural disasters in the world, occurs when water inundates land that's normally dry. Although floods can develop in many ways, river floods (i.e. overflow by rivers or river banks) are the most common. Turkey is one of the flood-affected countries with its 20 main basins in 8 regions. One of the most aggrieved basins in Turkey is the Maritsa river basin in in Eastern Balkans, which also contains the natural border regions with Greece and Bulgaria. 65% of the Maritsa River basin, which originates from the Rila Mountains and joins the Arda and Tundzha rivers, is located in Bulgaria. When the melting snow flow or precipitation in the basin increases, the Maritsa River overflows from the slopes to the Edirne Plain and from time to time exceeds the capacity of the bed, causing floods. On the other hand, since the water level in the dams and reservoirs was kept at the highest level for production purposes, the flood repeat interval increased in the region, since 2000s. Today, it is possible to monitor and evaluate the damages of flood by obtaining very reliable information with space technology. Especially, microwave SAR images that can penetrate clouds, are of great importance in flood mapping because they provide immediate information on the extent of inundation and support the evaluation of property and environmental damages. In this study, rapid flood risk assessment in the region was performed using Landsat 8 and Sentinel 2 Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) time series images, and calibrated Sentinel 1 SAR images produced on Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform for 2015-2018 period. GEE is a cloud-based platform that facilitates access to high-performance computing resources to handle very large geographic data sets. The results were compared and verified using meteorological data, riverbed flow data, and digital media news. The results showed that the most affected areas were consistent with the highest measured flow rates and the magnitude of flood damages caused by two main causes in the basin (i.e. opening of shutters in Bulgarian dams or local excessive rainfall) was very different (approximately 8 times larger) from each other.
Energy, Aging, and Neurasthenia: A Historical Perspective
Authors: Andersen Michael
Published: August 2019

That there is an association between energy and aging may seem commonsensical in modern society. Nonetheless, the question of how aging came to be associated with energy is less well known. This article explores how the 19th century disease of neurasthenia became related to aging through contemporaneous ideas about productivity, energy surplus and energy dissipation based on an analysis of how a lack of energy was featured as a symptom of the disease. It examines the specific historical intersection where a lack of energy was related to a diagnosis, illustrates how aging and energy have become intrinsically tied to each other and how the focus on the productive uses of energy has antecedents in religion as well as moral economics. As aging continues to be considered a problem in modern society--in large part due to the inherent unproductivity associated with old age caused by a lack of energy--the discourses surrounding neurasthenia demonstrate how the concept of energy manifested itself in contemporaneous consciousness.

Understanding age-triggered cognitive assessments of late-career physicians
Authors: Monico Edward P. , Allusson Valerie M. , Calise Arthur , Allusson Valerie R.C.
Published: August 2019

Late-career physicians now represent a significant part of the physician workforce in the United States. The American Medical Association Council on Medical Education tracks physician demographic data and found that in 1975 there were 50,993 practicing physicians 65 years or older, but by 2013, this number had risen to 241,641 physicians, a 374% increase. The AMA Council also concluded that aging was associated with decreased processing speed, increased difficulty inhibiting irrelevant information, reduced hearing and visual acuity, decreased manual dexterity and visuospatial ability. There is mounting concern that the effects of aging can adversely impact the practice of medicine by late-career physicians. Although results are mixed, studies suggest late-career physicians have a higher rate of disciplinary action, fail to acquire new knowledge and have greater variability in test scores and their patients experience higher mortality rates after complex surgical procedures. Hospital administrators in their efforts to assess cognition of their aging medical staff are limited by the absence of validated metrics when it comes to older individuals with above-average years of education. Also, attempts to curtail medical practice based on age are fraught with legal implications arising from the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967. We examined the issues hospital administrators face when formulating policies regulating the medical practice of late-career physicians. Our review summarizes the state of the literature of late-career physicians, reviews the legal implications of policies regarding age and the practice of medicine and offers our experience in creating a late-career physician policy for a multi-disciplinary medical staff.
“Instructing” the Cruxes of Language Errors: Diagnosing the EFL Students’ Significant Translation Errors
Authors: Telaumbanua Yohannes
Published: August 2019

The study follows growing the author’s concern over the EFL students’ significant translation errors although a number of researches in the field of Error Analysis showed the equivalent/unchanged results, namely, MT and TL interferences were the major causes of the EFL students’ Writing and Translation errors. EFL students keep making errors. On the basis of the facts, the study aims at specifically instructing the cruxes of the errors, diagnosing the students’ errors and observing whether or not significant improvements were found after instructing the errors. This study entailed the use of a qualitative method design. The purposive sampling and typical sample technique were ways of selecting the population and sample. Observation and unstructured interviews were techniques of collecting the data while the 1973 Corder’s clinical elicitation; and Miles and Huberman’s flow model were techniques of analysing the data. The results of the study showed that the significant translation errors made by the 2nd-year ED class II-A students before instructing the cruxes of errors were heavily centred on MT causes, TL interferences, and Communication Strategy of Holistic strategy of Approximation and Analytical strategy of Circumlocution-based errors. The total number of these errors was 1,948. In contrast, after instructing them, it significantly decreased to 636. The decrease in the number of errors in the students’ translation positively signified that the instruction of the cruxes of the errors could deduct students’ critical English language issues from making errors. The instruction in the cruxes of the errors effectively mitigates the significant effects of the MT and TL interferences, and Communication strategy-based errors; significantly improves the students’ knowledge of the cruxes of the LLU errors in Translation, as well as qualifies the outputs of their Indonesian-English translation.
Towards a Linguistic Stylometric Model for the Authorship Detection in Cybercrime Investigations
Authors: Omar Abdulfattah , Deraan Aldawsari Bader
Published: August 2019

This study proposes an integrated framework that considers letter-pair frequencies/combinations along with the lexical features of documents as a means to identifying the authorship of short texts posted anonymously on social media. Taking a quantitative morpho-lexical approach, this study tests the hypothesis that letter information, or mapping, can identify unique stylistic features. As such, stable word combinations and morphological patterns can be used successfully for authorship detection in relation to very short texts. This method offers significant potential in the fight against online hate speech, which is often posted anonymously and where authorship is difficult to identify. The data analyzed is from a corpus of 12,240 tweets derived from 87 Twitter accounts. A self-organizing map (SOM) model was used to classify input patterns in the tweets that shared common features. Tweets grouped in a particular class displayed features that suggested they were written by a particular author. The results indicate that the accuracy of classification according to the proposed system was around 76%. Up to 22% of this accuracy was lost, however, when only distinctive words were used and 26% was lost when the classification procedure was based solely on letter combinations and morphological patterns. The integration of letter-pairs and morphological patterns had the advantage of improving accuracy when determining the author of a given tweet. This indicates that the integration of different linguistic variables into an integrated system leads to better performance in classifying very short texts. It is also clear that the use of a self-organizing map (SOM) led to better clustering performance because of its capacity to integrate two different linguistic levels for each author profile.
Subjectivity in Japanese: A Corpus-Linguistic Study
Authors: Li Wenchao
Published: August 2019

This paper provides a corpus-linguistic study on subjectivity in Japanese, in an effort to arrive at how subjectivity, transitivity and grammaticalisation are related. 899 lexicons from nine grammatical categories (suffixes and prefixes, adjectives, particles, auxiliaries, nouns, adnominals, adverbs, and transitive/intransitive verb pairs) are examined. The findings reveal that Japanese is a subjective/objective-split language, and that subjectivity in affixes is facilitated by phonology: voiced/voiceless consonant alternation. The data also show that consonant-voiced prefixes and suffixes yield a subjective reading, while consonant-voiceless prefixes and suffixes render an objective meaning. Split subjectivity in adjectives is realised by morphology: しい-ending adjectives tend to be subjective, while い-ending adjectives are mostly objective. The differentiation of subjectivity in adjectives is further tied to the constraints on personal pronoun and verbalisation possibilities. Intriguingly, objective/subjective readings of しい-ending adjectives andい-ending adjectives are switchable. Furthermore, among transitive/intransitive verb pairs, intransitive verbs are likely to get grammaticalised, while transitive verbs are likely to be lexicalised and thus render a subjective reading. This is confirmed by change-of-state verbs and motion verbs. This paper therefore puts forward the hypothesis that the interrelationship of grammaticalisation and lexicalisation is orthogonal.
Drama: A Neglected Source in Language Teaching to Improve Communication
Authors: Altun Mustafa
Published: August 2019

Although drama takes several forms such as role-playing, story-telling, dialogues, etc., it is majorly used for the purpose of communication. Drama is an influential language tool to prepare learners how to function appropriately in real life situations. A language learning environment in which dramatic activities are employed to practice the language helps learners produce discourse in realistic conversations. The present paper shows the benefits of drama in language learning. In particular, the paper aims to reveal the contributions of engaging in conversation contents through role-play and simulation activities to the development of communication skills. The great difference between the pre survey and post survey questionnaires indicated that the students demonstrated a move towards the inclusion of drama in language learning and oral skills development.
A Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis of Qaisra Shahraz’s The Holy Woman in the Backdrop of Subalternity
Authors: Khan Hadia
Published: August 2019

This paper analyzes the objectification of the South Asian female subject as subaltern by the patriarchal power structure, and disrupts the relevant discourse practices. It investigates this notion in Qaisra Shahraz’s novel The Holy Woman. Methodologically, it applies Gayatri Spivak’s perspective of the subaltern to establish its ontological premise. Additionally, it uses Lazar’s concept of Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis to deconstruct the power discourse behind the objectification of the female identity as reflected in the selected text. The analysis of the selected text reflects as the South Asian patriarchal society ‘legitimizes’ the ‘othering’ of its female subject for the fulfilment of its power agenda that involve political and economic interests. The analysis also reveals as dominant discourse interprets religion the way it suits the power structure. It also shows how the female subject realizes its manipulation by acquiring the knowledge which she earlier lacked and on the acquired awareness, resists the power structure. Through its methodological approach, the paper incites further research into the reorientation of subalternity in the South Asian context.
Topic Maintenance and Topic Transition in a Couple’s Dinnertime Conversation
Authors: Batais Saleh
Published: August 2019

This paper investigates the patterns of topic maintenance and topic transition used to create conversation and their accompanying structural features speakers employ to signal these two conversational phenomena. The data are a 21-minute dyadic dinnertime conversation between a boyfriend and girlfriend; they are both native speakers of American English, in their late twenties. The two significant findings of the study are as follows. First, the data reveal that the speakers used three major techniques, namely minimal responses, substitutions, and deletions, to maintain the same topic of the conversation (Goffman, 1983; Radford & Tarplee, 2000; Abu Akel, 2002; Sukrutrit, 2010; Jeon, 2012). Second, in the analysis of topic transition, the data show that the speakers resorted to different types of topic transitions (i.e., collaborative, unilateral, linked, minimally linked, and sudden) to end an ongoing topic and start a new one (West & Garcia, 1988; Ainsworth-Vaughn, 1992; Okamoto & Smith-Lovin, 2001; Sukrutrit, 2010; Jeon, 2012).
A Sociolinguistic Study of the Use of Refusal Strategies by Saudi and American Females
Authors: Al-Ghamdi Naimah Ahmad S. , Alqarni Ibrahim R.
Published: August 2019

This paper examines refusal strategies employed in invitations and requests used by Saudi and American female students. As speakers’ performances in refusals vary, the paper investigates the content of the semantic formulas and their frequencies in the speech acts of these females when interacting with different interlocutors of different statuses. The assumption proposed in this paper is that speech acts reflect the cultural norms and values of speakers from different cultures (e.g., Arabs’ collectivist culture vs American individualistic culture). The analysis and description of refusal strategies are motivated by the need to provide new information on how native speakers really use language, rather than how we think they perform such acts. Data collected in this paper is based on speech acts of refusals employed by a sample of Saudi and American female students.

Adaptive Sliding Mode Control of a Nonlinear Electro-hydraulic Servo System for Position Tracking
Authors: YANG Mingxing , ZHANG Qi , LU Xinliang , XI Ruru , WANG Xingsong
Published: August 2019

In view of the electro-hydraulic position servo system with parameter uncertainty and bounded disturbances, an improved adaptive sliding mode control scheme is proposed. The mathematical model of the valve-controlled system is first constructed with consideration of the external disturbance, matched and mismatched unknown parameters. Then, the parametric adaptive estimation laws are established by Lyapunov technique to estimate the generalized uncertainty parameters, and the discontinuous projection algorithm is used to ensure the boundedness of parameter estimation. In order to eliminate the chattering phenomenon in sliding mode control, the saturation function is designed to replace the sign function and the gain coefficient is adjustable on the sliding surface. Finally, the comparative experimental results clarify that the proposed control scheme has better control performance than the PID controller and the SMC controller.

El deber de notificar y el derecho a la no autoinculpación en la protección de datos personales
Authors: Reyes Kahansky Carolina Marcela
Published: August 2019

El RGPD establece para todos los responsables y encargados de tratamientos de datos personales la obligación de notificar a la autoridad de protección de datos las violaciones de la seguridad de los datos que están tratando, obligación cuyo incumplimiento puede entrañar una sanción, que se instaura como medida coactiva. En los casos en que la brecha de la seguridad de los datos esté relacionada con un incumplimiento de otras obligaciones que el RGPD pone a cargo del mismo responsable o encargado, la notificación se puede convertir en una declaración autoinculpatoria obtenida bajo coacción. Por ello analizamos en este artículo la posibilidad de invocar la notificación u otras evidencias de incumplimientos que se han conocido por medio de ella, en calidad de prueba de cargo en un procedimiento sancionador seguido contra el responsable.The GDPR stablishes for all the controllers and processors of personal data, the obligation to notify to the supervisory authority the breaches occurred to the personal data that they process. The infringement of this obligation shall be subject to administrative penalties, that are thus set as a coercive measure. If the personal data breach is related to an infringement of other obligations imposed by the GDPR to the same controller or processor, then the notification  may become a self-incriminating statement made under coercion. For those reasons, in this article we analyse the possibility of bringing the said notification or other evidence based on it, as incriminatory evidence against the subject on a proceeding for an offence under the GDPR.
Cuestiones controvertidas en torno a las instancias de control deontológico de los periodistas en el ámbito del derecho a la información
Authors: Sánchez Lorenzo Jesús
Published: August 2019

El derecho a la información es un pilar fundamental del Estado democrático del que los periodistas no son los únicos titulares aunque son los que lo ensalzan. Por otro lado, no existe una definición concreta de estos sino una que podría considerarse ambigua ofrecida por el Tribunal Constitucional para evitar, efectivamente, una interpretación inconstitucional del derecho a informar y las garantías en su ejercicio. La deontología profesional de la actividad periodística, recogida en diferentes códigos deontológicos, pretende proteger a los periodistas, a la información y al propio derecho a informar por la repercusión que tienen en la opinión pública libre, institución política fundamental en un Estado democrático. Sin embargo no puede hacer efectiva esta función protectora porque no existe control respecto a las infracciones que se puedan cometer. Y no existe este control porque no se ha llegado a un consenso respecto a la naturaleza que debe regir tal control, pública o privada. Esto facilita que los medios sobrepasen los propios códigos tratando la información como mercancía que se puede manufacturar y hasta fabricar, dada la presión del mercado por ser mejores, con lo que la actividad de los profesionales de la información queda supeditada a aquéllos, con las consecuencias que conlleva para la formación de la opinión pública y el propio Estado democrático.The right to information is a fundamental pillar of the democratic State of which journalists are not the sole holders although they are the ones who extol. On the other hand, there is no a concrete definition of these but one that might be considered ambiguous offered by the Constitutional Court to avoid, really, an unconstitutional interpretation of the right to inform and the guarantees in its exercise. Professional ethics of journalist activity, gathered in different codes of conduct, aims to protect journalists, information and the right to inform itself about the impact they have on the free public opinion, fundamental political institution in a democratic State. Nevertheless it cannot make this protective function effective because there is no control over the offenses that could be committed. And this control does not exist because it has not come near to a consensus regarding the nature that must govern such control, public or private. This facilitates the media exceed the codes themselves treating information as a commodity that can be manufactured and be manufactured, given the market pressures to be better, so the activity of information professionals is subordinated to those, with the consequences that it carries for the public opinion formation and the democratic State itself.

El objetivo global de las propuestas de simplificación es garantizar que la normativa comunitaria de aplicación aporte resultados al público de manera transparente, eficaz y eficiente siempre buscando el menor coste posible con el propósito de eliminar cargas innecesarias, armonizar la legislación sin interferir en el logro de la estrategia política programada. La puesta en marcha de una política simplificadora en la política de cohesión permite también centrar más los recursos humanos y el esfuerzo administrativo que conlleva la gestión de los Fondos Estructurales y de Inversión (en adelante, Fondos EIE) en el logro de los objetivos prioritarios, y no en la recopilación y tramitación de multitud de documentos. Asimismo, la simplificación del proceso de gestión facilitará el acceso de los pequeños beneficiarios a la financiación comunitaria y conllevará a la obtención de un menor porcentaje de error contribuyendo a un uso más correcto de los Fondos.The overall objective of the simplification proposals is to ensure that the European regulations provide results to the target public in a transparent, efficient and efficient approach, always searching the lowest possible cost in order to eliminate unnecessary administrative burdens, harmonize legislation without interfering in achievement of the programming political strategy. The implementation of a simplifying policy in cohesion policy also makes it possible to focus more on the human resources and the administrative effort involved in the management of the ESI Funds in the achievement of the priority objectives, and not in the collection and processing of a large number of documents. Likewise, the simplification of the management process will facilitate the access of small beneficiaries to European funding and will lead to obtaining a lower percentage of error contributing to a more correct use of the Funds.

RESUMENLa organización de la orientación educativa en Educación Infantil y Primaria en España ha respondido, tradicionalmente, a la creación de servicios externos a los centros. En este estudio, se analiza y compara la normativa que regula la orientación educativa en Educación Infantil y Primaria en las diecisiete Comunidades Autónomas y las dos Ciudades Autónomas, Ceuta y Melilla a través de la metodología cualitativa de análisis documental (n= 51 documentos). Los resultados de esta investigación confirman los resultados de estudios previos que indican que los servicios de orientación educativa que más predominan son los servicios de carácter general dirigidos al alumnado de 6 a 12 años, los de carácter especializado dirigidos al alumnado con necesidad específica de apoyo educativo y, en menor medida, Equipos de Atención Temprana (0-6 años). Como novedad, han surgido Unidades de Orientación internas a los centros, y servicios cuyas funciones principales son favorecer la coordinación, la investigación y la elaboración de recursos. En conclusión, a pesar de que predomina un modelo organizativo de orientación por medio de servicios externos, la orientación educativa está evolucionando hacia un modelo que garantice la tutoría del grupo clase, los departamentos o Unidades de Orientación internas a los centros y la existencia en el sector de servicios con una mayor especialización técnica, junto con la necesaria creación de estructuras para favorecer la coordinación de estos agentes orientadores.ABSTRACT Organisation of educational guidance in Pre-Primary and Primary Education in Spain has traditionally responded to the provision of services external to the schools. In this study, we analyse and compare the regulations governing educational guidance in Pre-Primary and Primary Education in the seventeen Autonomous Communities and the two Autonomous Cities, Ceuta and Melilla through the qualitative methodology of documentary analysis (n = 51 documents). The results of this research confirm those of previous studies that indicate that most common educational guidance services are general services directed to students from 6 to 12 years, those of specialized character directed to students with specific need of educational support and, to a lesser extent, Early Care Teams (to students from 0 to 6 years). As a novelty, internal guidance units have emerged at schools, and also services whose main functions are promoting coordination, doing research and elaborating resources. In conclusion, in spite of the predominance of an organizational model of educational guidance by means of external services, educational guidance is evolving towards a model that guarantees tutoring at class level, guidance departments or units at school level, and the existence in the region of services with a greater technical specialization, together with the necessary creation of structures to promote coordination of guidance agents.

O uso de fontes alternativas de energia vem ganhando muita força devido ao aumento da preocupação com as questões ambientais, sociais e econômicas. Um exemplo disso é a utilização dos biocombustíveis derivados de óleos e gorduras de origem animal ou vegetal, que surgem como uma promessa para substituição do óleo diesel, com especial destaque para o biodiesel. O biodiesel representa uma nova opção geradora de energia dentro do setor energético brasileiro. Um combustível renovável, de qualidade comprovada que vai ajudar na redução da dependência do diesel de petróleo. Atuando, também, no desenvolvimento do agronegócio, buscando atingir dessa forma todos os membros da cadeia de produção do biodiesel. A seleção de matérias-primas para produção de biodiesel geralmente envolve situações de conflito de interesses no processo de gestão. Para ajudar na resolução recomendasse um conjunto de ferramentas capazes de gerenciar conflitos como os métodos de Apoio Multicritério à Decisão (AHP, MACBETH, SMART, ELECTRE, PROMETHEE, MODM, etc.). Este artigo tem por finalidade analisar, através de metodologia multicritério, qual das culturas ou espécies oleaginosas é mais apropriada para produção de biodiesel. Para isso foi utilizado os métodos da família PROMETHEE (I, II e GAIA), que ordenam as alternativas de acordo com os critérios estabelecidos em fluxos líquidos de sobre classificação parciais e totais. A representação do sistema de escolha se deu pelo exercício da criação e posterior comparação de dois cenários: um de base e outro mais abrangente, cada um levando em conta as alternativas (dendê, canola, soja, etc.) e critérios (conteúdo médio de óleo, meses de colheita, custos de produção, etc.) próprios. A ordenação final do resultado gerado na análise multicritério no cenário 1 foi: dendê; soja; canola; mamona e amendoim. Enquanto no cenário 2: dendê; canola; soja; girassol; amendoim; babaçu e mamona.

A caça de animais silvestres é uma atividade ilegal que ocorre em todas as regiões do Brasil, exercida por diferentes populações. O presente artigo teve por objetivo contribuir para o conhecimento dos táxons cinegéticos na Área de Proteção Ambiental de Guaratuba e seu entorno, no período de 2007 a 2015. A pesquisa é caracterizada como documental. Para a coleta de dados foram utilizados os Boletins de Ocorrência (BO) de crimes contra a fauna registrados pela Polícia Militar Ambiental do Estado do Paraná, tendo a mesma durado entre março de 2016 a fevereiro de 2017. Após a análise dos dados pode-se observar que, no que tange as espécies alvos de caça ilegal citadas nos boletins foram identificados nos seguintes grupos 62,64% mamíferos, seguidos de 36,26% aves e 1,1% répteis. Entre os mais citados estão:  Dasypodidae, Procyonidae e Tayassuidae. Do grupo das aves, Tinamídea Turdidae e Ramphastidae. Já as aves menores geralmente canoras, são as mais apanhadas e tem como destino o comércio ilegal e cativeiro. Além disso, a caça apresenta características de caça esportiva e comercial associada ao porte irregular de arma de fogo (espingarda) e petrechos. O cenário se mostrou preocupante em relação as suas potenciais implicações ecológicas, ilustrando que além de ser uma prática de caça ilegal e indiscriminada, tem sido realizada dentro de fragmentos preservados pelas UC que na maioria das localidades possuem uma precária fiscalização e poucos incentivos.

La calidad de los cursos de agua depende de las variables ambientales, componentes de las cuencas y efectos antrópicos. Debido a que los sistemas fluviales son un importante recurso para la vida humana es imprescindible controlar la emisión de contaminantes, así como también realizar evaluaciones sistemáticas. La introducción de agentes extraños provenientes de la actividad humana, puede modificar los ecosistemas alterando la calidad del agua. El presente trabajo comparó la calidad del agua de 15 estaciones de muestreo en el Arroyo Cuñapirú, cuantificando variables microbiológicas y parámetros fisicoquímicos. Las variables microbiológicas arrojaron valores elevados de coliformes fecales en la mayor parte de los muestreos, lo que indicó aportes elevados de nutrientes. Se apreció una correlación positiva entre la conductividad, oxígeno disuelto, nitratos y sulfatos (primer componente principal). Nuestros resultados evidencian la necesidad de una visión integral, multivariada, con el fin de comprender los efectos de las actividades humanas sobre los ecosistema. Con este enfoque fue posible evaluar la calidad del agua con fines recreativos en la micro cuenca del Arroyo Cuñapirú.

In recent decades, changes in the professional role of librarians – in terms of both content and complexity – haveled to an increased need for further education. This need is particularly prominent in reading promotion for groupswhere reading and reading proficiency is decreasing (Sverige. Litteraturutredningen 2010). This article concernstwo “research circles” where librarians reflected on and explored different possibilities for reading promotion.The purpose of this article is to understand how the research circle was used as a resource for knowledge building,and for the changes and development of the librarians’ work with reading promotion in different contexts. Theoverarching theoretical framework is sociocultural (Vygotskij 1978, Bakhtin, 1984; Wertsch 1998). The source ofdata used includes audio-recorded meetings, the reflections I wrote in proximity to the meetings and interviewswith the participants. The results show how the participants became important resources for each other throughthe exchange of experiences and through critical reflection. The investigations challenged the participants’flexibility and ability to cope with uncertainty and to remain open to change. The interviews indicate that therehave been changes in the participants' understanding of reading-promotion and that this kind of supplementaryeducation has the prerequisites to achieve lasting results. The research circle work was linked to a discussionregarding the changed professional role of librarians and the challenge of linking the profession to a wider socialand democracy perspective, where questions about access to language, knowledge, power and democraticinfluence are crucial for the development of librarians’ professional work.
