Seasonal and plant-part isotopic and biochemical variation in Posidonia oceanica
Authors: CRESSON PIERRE , BOUDOURESQUE CHARLES FRANÇOIS , RUITTON SANDRINE , CASALOT LAURIE , VERLAQUE MARC , HARMELIN-VIVIEN MIREILLE
Published: June 2019

Posidonia oceanica is an iconic and highly productive Mediterranean seagrass. As most studies focused on the fate of this production, temporal and plant part-specific variations of isotopic composition and biochemical content were overlooked. Combined seasonal and plant-part stable isotope composition and biochemical concentrations were measured at the lower depth limit of a P. oceanica meadow (~ 25 meter depth), and explained by previous knowledge of the specific metabolic functioning of each part. The predominance of compounds with complex chemical structure was reflected by the high concentrations of insoluble carbohydrates, high C/N ratios, and high δ13C values. Plant parts clustered in 3 groups with similar isotopic or biochemical features and metabolism: rhizomes and juvenile leaves, intermediate and adult leaves, senescent and drifting leaves. This result agrees with the vegetative phenology of the plant. The biochemical composition and the isotopic composition of the plant parts were consistent with previous knowledge about the photosynthetic activity and its seasonal variation. Correlations were found between N-linked descriptors (δ15N and protein content), and between δ13C and insoluble carbohydrate concentration. Epibiont values differed considerably from those of the leaf, as this community is taxonomically diverse and seasonally variable. Biochemical and isotopic composition measured confirmed that the current complex metabolism of P. oceanica results from adaptations to the specific life in a marine oligotrophic environment.

Published: June 2019

Twelve new first records of species from two families are added to the list of known marine fishes from Malta based on laboratory study of material collected during fieldwork over a period of more than twenty years. The three new records of clingfishes (Apletodon incognitus, Gouania wildenowi, Opeatogenys gracilis) double the known diversity of Gobiesocidae for the area; the nine new records of gobies (Chromogobius zebratus, Gobius ater, Gobius fallax, Gobius gasteveni, Gobius roulei, Lebetus guilleti, Odondebuenia balearica, Speleogobius llorisi, Vanneaugobius dollfusi) increase by almost a half the known diversity of Maltese Gobiidae. The most enigmatic species reported is G. ater, for which the most recent published record is two decades old and based on specimens that had actually been collected back in the 19th century. Checklists of the Gobiesocidae and Gobiidae of Maltese waters are presented. Biodiversity and biogeographic implications of the present findings are discussed.

We study the property of double sodium layer structures (DSLs) in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) by a lidar at the low-latitude location of Haikou (20.0° N, 110.1° E), China. From April 2010 to December 2013, 21 DSLs were observed within a total of 377 observation days. DSLs were recorded at middle latitudes of Beijing and Wuhan, China, but were rarely observed at low latitudes. We analyze and discuss characteristics of DSLs such as time of occurrence, peak altitude, FWHM, duration time, etc. At the same time, the critical frequency foEs and the virtual height h'Es of the sporadic E layer Es were observed by an ionosonde over Danzhou (19.0° N, 109.3° E). We discuss such their characteristics as differences of time, differences of altitude compared to DSLs. We used an Nd:YAG laser pumped dye laser to generate the probing beam. The wavelength of the dye laser was set to 589 nm by a sodium fluorescence cell. The backscattered fluorescence photons from the sodium layer were collected by a telescope with the Φ1000 mm primary mirror.
Second-order perturbations in Alfvén waves in cold plasma approximatio
Authors: Дмитриенко Ирина , Dmitrienko Irina
Published: June 2019

The second-order amplitude perturbations driven by Alfvén waves are studied. Equations for such second-order perturbations are derived and their solutions are found. The second-order perturbations are shown to be generated by the magnetic pressure of the waves. They represent plasma flows and magnetic field perturbations in a plane perpendicular to the direction of the field perturbation and plasma displacement in the Alfvén wave. In connection with the interpretation of fast plasma flows observed in the magnetotail, of particular interest is the description of second-order flows, which relates their properties to properties of Alfvén waves and the disturbance that generates them. The results suggest that at least some of the fast plasma flows observed in the magnetotail can be one of the manifestations of propagating Alfvén waves. The environment model and cold plasma approximation in use are quite applicable for the plasma sheet boundary layers, where an essential part of the fast plasma flows occurs.

Published: June 2019

We study Alfvén waves generated in the magnetosphere during the passage of an interplanetary shock wave. After shock wave passage, the oscillations with typical Alfvén wave dispersion have been detected in spacecraft observations inside the magnetosphere. The most frequently observed oscillations are those with toroidal polarization; their spatial structure is described well by the field line resonance (FLR) theory. The oscillations with poloidal polarization are observed after shock wave passage as well. They cannot be generated by FLR and cannot result from instability of high-energy particle fluxes because no such fluxes were detected at that time. We discuss an alternative hypothesis suggesting that resonant Alfvén waves are excited by a secondary source: a highly localized pulse of fast magnetosonic waves, which is generated in the shock wave/plasmapause contact region. The spectrum of such a source contains oscillation harmonics capable of exciting both the toroidal and poloidal resonant Alfvén waves.
Toroidal models of magnetic field with twisted structure
Authors: Петухова Анастасия , Petukhova Anastasia , Петухов Станислав , Petukhov Stanislav
Published: June 2019

We present and discuss properties of the following magnetic field models in a magnetic cloud: Miller and Turner solution, modified Miller–Turner solution, Romashets–Vandas toroidal and integral models, and Krittinatham–Ruffolo model. Helicity of the magnetic field in all the models is the main feature of magnetic clouds. The first three models describe the magnetic field inside an ideal torus. In the integral model, parameters of a generating torus ambiguously determine the volume and form of the magnetic field region. In the Krittinatham–Ruffolo model, the cross-section radius of the torus is variable, thereby it corresponds more closely to the real form of magnetic clouds in the inner heliosphere. These models can be used to interpret in-situ observations of the magnetic flux rope, to study a Forbush decrease in magnetic clouds and transport effects of solar energetic particles injected into a coronal mass ejection.
Diagnostics of auroral oval boundaries on the basis of the magnetogram inversion technique
Authors: Лунюшкин Сергей , Lunyushkin Sergey , Пенских Юрий , Penskikh Yury
Published: June 2019

It is shown that the convection reversal boundary is a fundamental parameter of the magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling, which determines a strong analogy between the electrostatic potential of the ionosphere and the equivalent current function in the dipole geomagnetic field approximation and the uniform ionospheric conductance. We have developed a new ground-based method for automatically diagnosing boundaries of the auroral oval using output data obtained with the magnetogram inversion technique (MIT). Using maps of the current function and field-aligned currents, calculated at the first stage of MIT with uniform ionospheric conductance, we determine the convection reversal boundary, polar cap boundary, equatorial boundary of the auroral oval, and line of maximum density of auroral electrojets. These parameters have previously been determined by a visual-manual method: analyzing maps of field-aligned and equivalent currents on the monitor screen and carrying out predetermined boundaries with the mouse — this took a very long time (weeks and months). The comparison between manually and automatically obtained boundaries has shown that the correlation coefficient between the two boundaries is, on average, 0.85, and the root-mean-square deviation does not exceed 2° in latitude. By providing an adequate accuracy for the boundary determination, the automatic method reduces the time for map processing by a factor of 2–3 (to minutes and hours), releasing a researcher from laborious visual work. The new method is implemented as one of the important modules in the updated MIT software.

Published: June 2019

We report the results of the analysis of annual variations in daily electron density (N) for various solar activity conditions — minimum, rise, and maximum (2007–2014) — obtained from digisonde measurements at the ionospheric station Norilsk (69.4° N, 88.1° E). New coefficients of the known semi-empirical model (SEM) describing the connection between N and thermosphere characteristics are calculated to identify regularities of these variations exactly at Norilsk station. The height changes of annual variations in the noon electron density N are obtained in the F1 region (120–200 km). The experimental data approximation describes N quite satisfactorily at these heights in the daytime of different seasons under different solar activity conditions. It is shown that in the years of solar minimum at all heights of the F1 layer the tendency remains for maximum N in summer and for minimum N in winter. In later years and in the year of maximum solar activity, a characteristic feature of the behavior of N is the change in the phase of the annual variation by 180° in the range of heights from 170 to180 km: maximum N is observed in winter; and minimum, in summer.

Documentation of Clinical Reasoning in Admission Notes of Hospitalists: Validation of the CRANAPL Assessment Rubric
Authors: Kotwal Susrutha , Klimpl David , Tackett Sean , Kauffman Regina , Wright Scott
Published: June 2019

BACKGROUND

High‐quality documentation of clinical reasoning is a professional responsibility and is essential for patient safety. Accepted standards for assessing the documentation of clinical reasoning do not exist.

OBJECTIVE

To establish a metric for evaluating hospitalists' documentation of clinical reasoning in admission notes.

STUDY DESIGN

Retrospective study.

SETTING

Admissions from 2014 to 2017 at three hospitals in Maryland.

PARTICIPANTS

Hospitalist physicians.

MEASUREMENTS

A subset of patients admitted with fever, syncope/dizziness, or abdominal pain were randomly selected. The nine‐item Clinical Reasoning in Admission Note Assessment & Plan (CRANAPL) tool was developed to assess the comprehensiveness of clinical reasoning documented in the assessment and plans (A&Ps) of admission notes. Two authors scored all A&Ps by using this tool. A&Ps with global clinical reasoning and global readability/clarity measures were also scored. All data were deidentified prior to scoring.

RESULTS

The 285 admission notes that were evaluated were authored by 120 hospitalists. The mean total CRANAPL score given by both raters was 6.4 (standard deviation [SD] 2.2). The intraclass correlation measuring interrater reliability for the total CRANAPL score was 0.83 (95% CI, 0.76‐0.87). Associations between the CRANAPL total score and global clinical reasoning score and global readability/clarity measures were statistically significant (P < .001). Notes from academic hospitals had higher CRANAPL scores (7.4 [SD 2.0] and 6.6 [SD 2.1]) than those from the community hospital (5.2 [SD 1.9]), P < .001.

CONCLUSIONS

This study represents the first step to characterizing clinical reasoning documentation in hospital medicine. With some validity evidence established for the CRANAPL tool, it may be possible to assess the documentation of clinical reasoning by hospitalists.
Heuristic Solutions for a Class of Stochastic Uncapacitated p-Hub Median Problems
Authors: Peiró Juanjo , Corberán Ángel , Martí Rafael , Saldanha-da-Gama Francisco
Published: June 2019

In this work, we propose a heuristic procedure for a stochastic version of the uncapacitated r-allocation p-hub median problem with nonstop services. In particular, we assume that the number of hubs to which a terminal can be allocated is bounded from above by r. Additionally, we consider the possibility of shipping traffic directly between terminals (nonstop services). Uncertainty is associated with the traffic to be shipped between nodes and with the transportation costs. If we assume that such uncertainty can be captured by a finite set of scenarios, each of which with a probability known in advance, it is possible to develop a compact formulation for the deterministic equivalent problem. However, even for small instances of the problem, the model becomes too large to be tackled by a general solver. This fact motivates the development of a heuristic procedure, whose starting point is the determination of a feasible solution to every (deterministic) single-scenario problem. These solutions are then embedded into a process based on the path relinking methodology: gradually an initial solution to the overall problem is transformed by the incorporation of attributes from some guiding solutions. In our case, the guiding solutions are those found for the single-scenario problems. We report and discuss the results of the numerical experiments performed using instances randomly generated for the new problem from the well-known CAB and AP data sets.

Published: June 2019

Abstract. Precision variable-rate spraying technology is needed for controlled-environment plant production in greenhouses. An experimental spray system for greenhouse applications was developed for real-time control of individual nozzle outputs. The system mainly consisted of a high-speed laser scanning sensor, 12 individual variable-rate nozzles, an embedded computer, a spray control unit, and a 3.6 m long mobile spray boom. Each nozzle was coupled with a pulse-width modulated solenoid valve to discharge sprays at variable rates based on target presence and plant canopy structure. Laboratory tests were conducted to evaluate the accuracy of the spray control system in respect to spray delay time, nozzle activation, and spray volume using four target objects of different regular geometrical shapes and surface textures and two artificial plants of different canopy structures. Other experimental variables included three detection heights from 0.5 to 1.0 m and five sensor travel speeds from 1.6 to 4.8 km h-1. A high-speed video camera was used to determine the delay time and nozzle activation in discharging sprays on target objects after the laser sensor had detected the objects. The detection height and travel speed were found to have slight influence on the timing of nozzle activation. The nozzles started spraying in a range between 33 and 83 mm before reaching the target objects and stopped spraying between 13 and 84 mm after passing the objects, ensuring that the objects were fully covered by the spray. Spray volume corresponded to the object sizes well, and the spray control system performed with higher accuracy at lower travel speeds. Differences between the calculated spray volume based on the sensor detection and the actual spray volume ranged from 1.9 to 2.7 mL per object among all tested objects. The variable-rate control system reduced spray volume by 29.3% to 51.4% for all the objects compared with conventional constant-rate spraying. At the same time, the nozzles could be activated precisely by the object presence. Consequently, this experimental laser-guided system was implemented on a boom system in a commercial greenhouse for future investigations of its accuracy in variable-rate spraying to save pesticides, water, and nutrients.

O ideário iluminista, mormente referenciado no pensamento kantiano, instaura a premissa de que autêntica moralidade somente o será se originada na plena autonomia da vontade e do entendimento. Sobre esse alicerce conceitual, foi edificado um período civilizacional e cultural de grande otimismo e autoconfiança humana. Diante do exposto, foi possível depreender que o ser humano tem a necessidade dos outros, no sentido de discutir com os demais a compreensão de sua própria situação particular.  Portanto, a concepção ética da pós-modernidade tenderá a lograr êxito na medida em que conduzir o homem contemporâneo a compreender sua responsabilidade para consigo e para com os outros, o que demanda um aguçado senso de autocrítica e sentimento de coletividade.

Published: June 2019

A transplant hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare postorthotopic liver transplant complication. Bleeding is a common complication of posterior duodenal ulcer secondary to erosion into the gastroduodenal artery. We report the case of a post-transplant patient who presented with massive upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage in the setting of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug use. Endoscopy demonstrated a duodenal ulcer with high-risk stigmata not amenable to hemostasis. Subsequently, an arteriogram revealed a hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm. Transplant professionals should be aware of the possibility of an ulcer eroding into the liver vasculature and in the differential diagnosis for bleeding and pseudoaneurysms in post-transplant patients.

Published: June 2019

Duodenal obstruction is an infrequent but potentially fatal complication of strongyloidiasis infection. Strongyloides stercoralis can clinically manifest in a broad variety of ways and lacks a classic clinical syndrome, which makes the diagnosis of strongyloidiasis difficult. The diagnosis is usually delayed and made by duodenal aspirate, duodenal biopsy, and/or postoperative biopsy specimen of the resection stricture segment. We present a case of partial duodenal obstruction caused by S. stercoralis. A 46-year-old man had presented with repeated bilious vomiting for 12 days. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed ulceronodular mucosa with luminal compromise at the second part of the duodenum. Abdominal computed tomography scan also showed a wall thickening with luminal narrowing of the second and third part of the duodenum. Duodenal mucosal biopsy revealed larval forms of S. stercoralis.

The Chang'e-5 mission of China is planned to be launched in 2019 to the landing area near Mons Rümker located in Oceanus Procellarum. Aiming to generate a high-resolution and high-quality digital orthophoto map (DOM) of the planned landing area for supporting the mission and various
scientific analyses, this study developed a systematic and effective method for large-area seamless DOM production. The mapping results of the Chang'e-5 landing area using over 700 Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) Narrow Angle Camera (NAC) images are presented. The resultant seamless
DOM has a resolution of 1.5 m, covers a large area of 20° in longitude and 4° in latitude, and is tied to SLDEM2015. The results demonstrate that the proposed method can reduce the geometric inconsistencies among the LROC NAC images to the subpixel level and the positional errors with
respect to the reference digital elevation model to about one grid cell size.
A Novel Method for Separating Woody and Herbaceous Time Series

Published: June 2019

Mapping the spatial distribution of woody and herbaceous vegetation in high temporal resolution in savannas would be beneficial for modeling interrelationships between trees and grasses, and monitoring fuel loads and biomass for livestock. In this study, we developed a frequency decomposition
method to separate woody and herbaceous vegetation components using Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) time series. The results were validated using fractional cover data derived from high-resolution images. The validation revealed a close relationship between our decomposed NDVI
and corresponding fractional cover (R2 = 0.55 and 0.64 for woody and herbaceous components, respectively). We examined the spatial and temporal patterns of the decomposed NDVI, where woody and herbaceous NDVI showed different responses to precipitation. The methods proposed in this
study can be used to separate the woody and herbaceous NDVI time series as an alternative approach for monitoring woody and herbaceous vegetation interrelationships related to climatic drivers.
Desambiguação dos Termos Mapeamento Topográfico em Grandes Escalas e Mapeamento Cadastral no Brasil

Published: June 2019

Os municípios são prestadores de serviços diretos à população, por excelência. No Brasil, a competência para produção do mapeamento topográfico em grandes escalas (maiores do que 1:25.000), necessário ao planejamento urbano e ao Cadastro Técnico Multifinalítário nas cidades, é compartilhada entre a União, os estados e os municípios. Com base em iniciativas de integração de dados geoespaciais, como a INDE e o SINTER, há uma crescente necessidade de normas e padrões que permitam a interoperabilidade entre as bases produzidas por atores diversos. No entanto, entre os produtores e usuários de dados cartográficos urbanos, não há consenso em relação ao uso dos termos mapeamento topográfico em grandes escalas e mapeamento cadastral. No Brasil, estes dois termos são historicamente utilizados como sinônimos, colaborando para que iniciativas e esforços para normatizá-los e atualizá-los não tenham sido profícuos. O objetivo deste artigo, através de revisão da literatura, é comparar as definições de mapeamento topográfico em grandes escalas e mapeamento cadastral com o intuito de clarificar o entendimento e o uso destes dois termos no país. São examinadas as definições clássicas e as adotadas pelas agências nacionais de mapeamento, além daquelas encontradas na legislação, especificações e normas nacionais. Adicionalmente é feita uma discussão sobre a mesclagem dos termos no país. Como resultados, são apresentadas sugestões de definições para cada um dos termos. Com a desambiguação dos termos, espera-se contribuir para a estruturação e consolidação das normas para um mapeamento topográfico em grandes escalas padronizado e atualizado no Brasil com a participação dos diversos atores envolvidos.
Mapeamento da Vulnerabilidade de Evacuação em Caso de Desastres Naturais Empregando a Sintaxe Espacial
Authors: Pinho Gustavo Medeiros , Oliveira Leonardo Castro , Rocha Marcos de Meneses , Barros Ana Paula Borba Gonçalves
Published: June 2019

Na ocorrência de Desastres Naturais, uma das formas de diminuir as perdas humanas é a realização da evacuação de pessoas. A evacuação consiste na retirada das pessoas de suas moradias para um lugar considerado seguro, procedimento este que pode ser realizado antes da materialização do desastre ou no momento de sua ocorrência. A pesquisa tem por objetivo propor uma metodologia para o mapeamento da vulnerabilidade de evacuação em caso de desastres naturais. Pretende-se avaliar o quão vulnerável uma comunidade está para a realização de uma evacuação. Considera-se que a evacuação é influenciada por diversos fatores, dentre os possíveis fatores optou-se por selecionar: a qualidade de vida que se encontram os indivíduos (vulnerabilidade social), a quantidade de pessoas a serem evacuadas na área (densidade demográfica) e a qualidade das vias por meio da sua integração (medida pela Sintaxe Espacial). A partir desses três condicionantes, propõem-se a criação de um indicador de vulnerabilidade de evacuação onde cada setor possui um valor entre 0 e 1, onde 1 é o setor com maior vulnerabilidade e 0 o de menor vulnerabilidade. O estudo de caso foi feito no município de Nova Friburgo, tendo por principal resultado a vulnerabilidade de evacuação seguindo um padrão centro-periferia, onde o centro da cidade apresenta as melhores condições de vida, baixa exposição e vias mais integradas.

Atualmente, vivenciamos uma expansão de novas tecnologias de mapeamentos e compartilhamento de informações geoespaciais. Uma delas é o Google Earth, na qual usuários têm acesso às informações cartográficas, porém seu uso geralmente é feito sem o conhecimento sobre a qualidade posicional das imagens utilizadas. Neste sentido, o presente estudo tem como objetivo avaliar a acurácia planimétrica do mosaico de imagens do Google Earth para a cidade de Paula Cândido, Minas Gerais. Para avaliar a acurácia posicional, fez-se uso de testes estatísticos seguindo a metodologia proposta por Santos et al. (2016), que sugerem a análise do padrão de distribuição espacial, detecção de outliers, análise de normalidade e análise de tendência dos dados de teste, respeitando os critérios instituídos pelo Decreto n° 89.817/1984 aliada a ET-ADGV e ET-CQDG. Apesar das imagens advindas do Google Earth apresentarem deslocamentos quanto as suas posições consideradas como referências, ou seja, tendência nas discrepâncias posicionais, após a correção das mesmas os resultados obtidos, para o mosaico de imagens, apresentaram uma classificação compatível com a Classe A (PEC-PCD) na escala 1/25.000 e Classe B (PEC-PCD) para a escala 1/10.000.

O objetivo do presente trabalho é avaliar e comparar a utilização de superfícies de compensação de erro geradas por interpolações determinísticas e geoestatísticas para o aumento da acurácia vertical dos MDEs oriundos do ASTER GDEM para o estado do Rio de Janeiro, utilizando como parâmetro de avaliação as diretrizes do Padrão de Exatidão Cartográfica dos Produtos Cartográficos Digitais (PEC-PCD), estabelecidas pela Norma da Especificação Técnica para Aquisição de Dados Geoespaciais Vetoriais de Defesa da Força Terrestre. As superfícies de compensação de erro se mostraram eficientes no aumento da acurácia vertical do MDE ASTER GDEM, consistindo em uma relevante alternativa para a correção altimétrica de MDEs, principalmente quando não se conhece detalhadamente a natureza e magnitude das fontes de erro dos mesmos. Ressalta-se também que a superfície de compensação de erro gerada por interpolação geoestatística foi a que obteve melhores resultados.

Published: June 2019

Neste artigo fez-se uma revisão conceitual e epistemológica acerca das pesquisas sobre o uso dos mapas, com foco nas tarefas de leitura de mapas. Nesse sentido, buscou-se discutir as conexões teóricas necessárias à fundação desta temática enquanto um campo de pesquisa da Cartografia. Com efeito, demonstrou-se a importância desta linha de pesquisa para o estabelecimento da Cartografia enquanto uma ciência. Para tanto, esta revisão ancorou-se na perspectiva funcional do estudo das “Tarefas de Leitura de Mapas” (TLMs), pois foram tais elementos que permitiram que os pesquisadores em Cartografia estudassem a maneira como os mapas eram usados, afim de melhorar o processo de comunicação. Com esta conexão, foi possível explicar o desenvolvimento epistemológico e conceitual da Cartografia, estabelecendo-se uma cronologia adequada ao entendimento dos conceitos fundamentais das pesquisas sobre o uso dos mapas. Abordou-se, ainda, as mudanças nessa linha de pesquisa, ocasionadas pela evolução tecnológica ocorrida nas duas últimas décadas. Propõe-se no final desta revisão uma expressão mais condizente com o contexto tecnológico atual - “tarefas de uso e geração de geoinformação” - como termo complementar ao antigo modo de interagir com mapas, delimitado pela expressão “tarefas de leitura de mapas”.
Avaliação em Massa de Imóveis Rurais Através da Regressão Clássica e da Geoestatística

A concepção do Imposto Territorial Rural - ITR está enraizada em métodos subjetivos que tornam esse tributo ineficiente e incoerente com seus propósitos originais. Visando fundamentar a base tributável do imposto e tornar o processo de cálculo mais transparente, este trabalho teve por objetivo verificar se a avaliação em massa de imóveis rurais pode ser utilizada como base para o cálculo do ITR. Baseando-se nas metodologias avaliatórias preconizadas pela NBR 14.653:3, utilizando os dados e mapas do Projeto de Irrigação e Drenagem da Cana-de-Açúcar - PROJIR na Região Norte Fluminense – RJ, aplicou-se a regressão múltipla em conjunto com a geoestatística na elaboração da Planta de Valores Genéricos – PVG em uma área rural. Para analisar o desempenho da avaliação foram utilizadas métricas recomendadas pela International Association of Assessing Officers - IAAO, as quais indicaram que, na regressão múltipla, o valor obtido da mediana das razões de avaliação (0,98) enquadrou-se no intervalo estabelecido pela norma (0,90 a 1,10), enquanto que o Coeficiente de Dispersão - COD (24,60%) e o Price Related Differential - PRD (1,23) mostraram-se superiores aos estabelecidos (20% e 1,03, respectivamente). Isto indica que, para a região do PROJIR, seria necessária uma quantidade maior de amostras para alcançar os intervalos estipulados pela norma. De acordo com os resultados obtidos nos testes estatísticos da regressão múltipla, e a dependência espacial comprovada pela análise dos semivariogramas, conclui-se que a utilização da regressão múltipla em conjunto com a krigagem ordinária, na avaliação em massa de imóveis rurais, é viável para fins de impostos e outras aplicações.
Two aspects on L1-norm adjustment of leveling networks
Authors: Suraci Stefano Sampaio , Oliveira Leonardo Castro de , Klein Ivandro
Published: June 2019

L1-norm adjustment corresponds to the minimization of the sum of weighted absolute residuals. Unlike Least Squares, it is a robust estimator, i.e., insensitive to outliers. In geodetic networks, the main application of L1-norm refers to the identification of outliers. There is no general analytical expression for its solution. Linear programming is the usual strategy, but it demands decorrelated observations. In the context of Least Squares, it is well known that the application of Cholesky factorization decorrelates observations without changing the results of the adjustment. However, there is no mathematical proof that this is valid for L1-norm. Besides that, another aspect on L1-norm is that equal weights may guarantee maximum robustness in practice. Therefore, it is expected to also provide a better effectiveness in the identification of outliers. This work presents contributions on two aspects concerning L1-norm adjustment of leveling networks, being them: the validity of Cholesky factorization for decorrelation of observations and the effectiveness for identification of outliers of a stochastic model with equal weights for observations. Two experiments were conducted in leveling networks simulated by the Monte Carlo method. In the first one, results indicate that the application of the factorization as previously performed in the literature seems inappropriate and needs further investigation. In the second experiment, comparisons were made between L1 with equal weights and L1 with weights proportional to the inverse of the length of the leveling line. Results show that the first approach was more effective for the identification of outliers. Therefore, it is an interesting alternative for the stochastic model in L1-norm adjustment. Besides providing a better performance in the identification of outliers, the need for observation decorrelation becomes irrelevant if equal weights are adopted.

La historia enseñada a las niñas y niños en el Brasil hoy: estrategias contra el “peligro de la historia única”
Authors: Guimaraes Selva
Published: June 2019

La historia presente en los currículos de la educación escolar brasileña es plural. En un país complejo y humanamente injusto, el derecho de aprender es profundamente desigual en la educación básica obligatoria, en las diferentes regiones del territorio nacional. El texto presenta un análisis sobre dimensiones de la historia enseñada a los niños y niñas brasileños (6 a 11 años) en los cinco primeros años de la enseñanza fundamental, teniendo como referencia las prescripciones curriculares de la "Base Nacional Común Curricular", aprobada en diciembre de 2017, y los peligros de una historia única en nuestras escuelas, en el contexto político económico liberal y conservador en el plano político y cultural. Se trata de un diálogo con enfoques metodológicos que pueden favorecer la construcción de otras narrativas históricas en el aula, cultivar el debate democrático de diferentes visiones y la incorporación de diversas fuentes y lenguajes en el trabajo pedagógico. La historia, como componente curricular, desde los primeros años de escolarización tiene un papel importante para la formación de la ciudadanía y la comprensión crítica de la experiencia.

El currículo oculto en los libros de historia de México en el Bachillerato mexicano
Authors: Magaña Hidalgo José Orestes
Published: June 2019

Esta investigación analiza el contenido didáctico de los libros de texto de Historia de México a nivel bachillerato. Se empleó una metodología cualitativa de tipo descriptivo. El  uso del Análisis del Discurso (AD) permitió identificar el contexto político, económico y educativo bajo el cual se definen los contenidos de los libros de texto, así como de la participación de editoriales extranjeras que forman parte en este proceso y cuya intervención en la creación de contenidos es también fundamental. Se concluye que, los libros de texto de la asignatura, representan un discurso nacionalista más que didáctico. Con base en la información analizada, se propone un currículo que desarrolle en el alumno las habilidades necesarias para lograr una empatía histórica y un conocimiento significativo.

KRYZYS EKONOMICZNY W FEDERACJI ROSYJSKIEJ W LATACH 2014-2016
Authors: LIGNOWSKA-KULPANOWSKA Malwina
Published: June 2019

The economic collapse in the Russian Federation observed in the years 2014-2016 is a result of overlapping negative trends both internally and externally. It should be emphasized that the economic shock caused by external factors in the form of economic sanctions imposed on Russia by Western states and the fall in oil prices on the world markets only accelerated the onset of the economic crisis but was not the main cause of its emergence. In this case the more important was an ineffective economic policy, which made economic development dependent on the prices of natural resources, primarily energy resources and it led to a deep structural crisis. In this context, the term “lost decade” has been used to emphasize the fact that the authorities have lost the chance to carry out deep structural reforms. Necessary and extremely costly economic, political and social reforms should were to be carried out during the economic prosperity that was fueled by persistent high oil prices. Introducing the above reforms during the crisis may not be feasible, however, the complete abandonment of such projects will make it impossible for the state to protect itself against future crises.
