The Palestinian Divide: Origins and Implications of Palestinian Rejectionism
Authors: Widzer Martin S.
Published: March 2024

In what is likely to amount to nothing more than a pyrrhic victory, Hamas’ October 2023 infiltration into Israel and subsequent assault will be greeted as a heroic act of resistance in some sectors of Palestinian society. It will invoke dread and anger in others. Employing a genealogical approach, this paper explores the effects of sectarian infighting over ideology, tactics, and aims as a means to garner greater in-group support. In doing so, the paper demonstrates that it is not so much Israel that is the object of the Palestinian struggle, but rather the struggle between the Palestinian factions themselves.

Omni-Channel Distribution: A Transshipment Modeling Perspective
Authors: M. Woosley John
Published: March 2024

In our work, we develop a specialized optimization technique that adapts the general linear programming Transshipment model to the ever-growing needs of Omni-Channel distribution in Supply Chain Management. With the rapid adoption of “smart” mobile technologies, customers now acquire merchandise across multiple channels and devices. As a result, retailers are challenged with downstream operational complexities. Fulfillment of customer orders now changes the placement and amount of independent demand inventory organizations may hold. Our research integrates the use of Hub or Fulfillment Centers, locations where sellers fill customer orders placed through e-commerce, as an additional segment of demand. This adaptation to the optimization of Transshipment can result in significant benefits to the firm’s logistics presence, customer retention, and profit.

Post-war peacebuilding for development in Ganta City, Liberia
Authors:   , Yorlay Teeko T.
Published: March 2024

Ganta City, with a population of about 62,000 and located approximately 200 miles from Monrovia, is a post-war multi-ethnic community entangled in inter-ethnic land disputes attributable to the roles played and the sides supported by the various ethnic groups during the Liberian civil wars from 1989 to 2003. These land disputes are about returning Mandingo refugees claiming that their parcels of land have been occupied by people from the Dan and Mah ethnic groups. This situation has undermined tranquillity and harmony in the city, fractured relationships, and is retarding progress and development. This situation needs to be resolved to ensure peace and tranquillity amongst the Dan, Mah, and Mandingo people, as well as the other residents in this major business hub outside Monrovia in Liberia. The Government of Liberia has applied two major efforts to resolve the issues. These efforts and the courts have resolved some of the issues, but they have not restored peace and improved the relationships among those ethnic groups. As a result, the peace in Ganta City is fragile, with underlying conflicts owing to the lack of genuine efforts to repair the broken relations. Based on the above, I used an action research approach and qualitative research methodology to collect qualitative data from eight focus groups, between twenty-five to fifty interviews, and at least ten observations. I analysed the same using thematic analysis, with the specific objectives of measuring the nature, extent, causes, and consequences of the land disputes in Ganta City. My research participants and I examined the issues around the inter-ethnic land conflict in the city, and I used the theoretical framework of conflict transformation including peacebuilding, indigenous knowledge, and the asset-based approach to community development to resolve the conflicts and improve the relationships among the three ethnic groups. I experimented with the local peace committee concept and formed an action committee that has implemented a peacebuilding intervention to resolve the local conflicts and promote peaceful coexistence. The overarching aim of my research has been to contribute to communal harmony, resulting in sustainable community development in the post-conflict multi-ethnic Ganta City. A locally driven peacebuilding mechanism has been used to contribute to the peacefulness of the city. The local peace structure that has been created has worked on improving the relationships among the three ethnic groups. The relationships have improved, and the foundation necessary for peace has been laid to address the conflictual issues surrounding the land disputes in Ganta City.

The essence of creating Commercial banks is to act as intermediary between the surplus (supply side) and deficit (demand side) units of funds. This is, in addition to other crucial objectives of profitability, growth in assets, and growth in customer base. To achieve these objectives, commercial banks grant loans to individuals, business organizations and governments among other profit yielding ventures. Loan defaults could be rampant resulting from low quality of assets, high non-performing risk assets (credit risk) that may result in huge loan losses, and reduction in bank profitability leading to adverse effect on return on assets of commercial banks. This study investigates the effect of non-performing loans (using loan loss provision as proxy) on return on assets of selected commercial banks in Nigeria. Annual time series secondary data from 2010 to 2021 were sourced from Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin and the Annual Financial Reports of affected bank, and panel least square method of analysis was used as our estimation technique. The results revealed that while loan loss provision has negative impact on return on assets of the selected commercial banks, interest rate has a positive impact on return on assets of the selected commercial banks within the period of study. The study recommends, amongst others that effective credit policy, reflected in flexible tenure; restructuring of credit terms; and conversion should be adopted in the selected commercial banks to minimize the negative impacts of loan defaults. This is because decline in loan default will lead to reduction in non-performing loans, and subsequently boost return on assets of affected banks in Nigeria.

Keywords: Non-Performing Loan, Return on Asset, Interest Rates, Bank Performance, Bank Profitability, and Loan Loss Provisions.

PAPEL DE UM OBSERVATÓRIO NA GESTÃO DE CIDADES INTELIGENTES
Authors: Campos Soares Lilian
Published: March 2024

Atualmente, as cidades estão fortemente ligadas ao desenvolvimento sustentável. O conceito do desenvolvimento sustentável está baseado na melhoria da qualidade de vida (desenvolvimento), em viver de acordo com as restrições ambientais (sustentabilidade) e investir em progresso tecnológico. As cidades passam então a adotar recursos tecnológicos para estabelecer novos modelos para gerenciamento de infraestruturas e de serviços públicos. Com o uso intenso de produtos e serviços de Tecnologia da Informação e Comunicação (TIC), as cidades tem o objetivo de ser tornarem mais eficientes, sustentáveis e habitáveis. Mas, esta ênfase do emprego de TIC também é um desafio para a cidades que enfrentam escassez de recursos. Há então um arranjo para o conceito de cidade inteligente centrado na interação entre poder público e cidadão, bem como na inteligência coletiva. Estas cidades, agora inteligentes, necessitam de um modelo de gestão que enderece as novas dimensões de uma cidade inteligente e que habilite uma governança participativa. Dentre os instrumentos que podem ser empregados para a gestão inteligente de cidades, surgem os Observatórios. Tradicionalmente vinculados aos estudos de fenômenos naturais, na era da sociedade da informação e do conhecimento, os observatórios possuem uma nova conotação e, especialmente, aderente à promoção das boas práticas de governança, a uma postura proativa de controle social e aos movimentos que venham assegurar a efetividade das políticas públicas. Este artigo tem por objetivo explorar o papel de um observatório no contexto da gestão de cidades inteligentes, além de descrever as principais características que definem uma cidade inteligente; identificar conceitos relacionados à gestão e governança em cidades inteligentes; contextualizar o surgimento de observatórios e seus objetivos de atuação; explorar um modelo de gestão inteligente de cidades; e verificar a associação entre um observatório e um modelo de gestão inteligente de cidades.

Utiliza-se o design thinking em paralelo às referências bibliográficas para levantar hipóteses de como deve ocorrer a revolução, direcionando a criatividade para os principais problemas. A partir de levantamentos, entende-se que o problema mais relevante nesse cenário é o desemprego, o qual precisa ser estudado para que se possa encontrar caminhos para driblá-lo. Deste modo, mapeiam-se os novos nichos de mercado que poderiam ser novas oportunidades de emprego e, consequentemente, pensa-se nos casos que não puderam ser absorvidos pelo mercado de trabalho, sugerindo o Estado como um empregador de última instância. A relevância   social desta análise está  no apontamento de condições necessárias para um cenário em que há empregabilidade e uma situação de vida melhor para a população.
EXPLORANDO UMA ABORDAGEM MULTIDIMENSIONAL PARA AVALIAÇÃO DE TECNOLOGIAS PROMISSORAS
Authors: Baptista Luiz Gustavo , Amaral Luciene , Pinheiro-Machado Rita
Published: March 2024

Este artigo propõe um modelo de análise tecnológica para avaliar tecnologias emeergentes, visando aprimorar a comercialização e transferência de tecnologia entre instituições científicas e empresas. A metodologia utilizou uma abordagem integrada de três níveis de avaliação: Nível de Atratividade do Mercado (MAL), Nível de Prontidão do Cliente e Nível de Prontidão Tecnológica (TRL). Esses modelos foram identificados em um levantamento bibliográfico e, para mitigar a subjetividade da análise, o estudo propôs o uso de bandas de análise, com limites mínimos e máximos. Além disso, empregou a média geométrica para agregar as respostas, evitando o efeito de substituição perfeita entre os critérios (outliers) que poderiam ocorrer ao utilizar a média aritmética simples. Essa abordagem proporcionou maior equilíbrio entre as variáveis da escala de avaliação, evitando que valores discrepantes atribuídos por um especialista afetassem excessivamente o índice de análise. Os resultados sugerem que essa nova forma de avaliação pode aumentar a taxa de sucesso na comercialização e transferência de tecnologia, fortalecendo a colaboração entre pesquisadores acadêmicos e as necessidades do mercado. A contribuição do estudo reside na melhoria da análise tecnológica, facilitando a integração efetiva entre a pesquisa acadêmica e o setor empresarial, impulsionando o desenvolvimento tecnológico e a inovação.

O dimensionamento de um sistema de fundações profundas deve o tipo de solo e sua resistência, o perfil estratigráfico do terreno, e a seleção adequada do tipo de estaca. Para a caracterização do solo, a principal forma é a sondagem standart penetration test (SPT), ensaio este que permite caracterizar, e chegar no valor resistido a penetração em cada camada. A literatura apresenta formas variadas de determinar a capacidade de carga geotécnica para o solo, dentre os quais destacam-se os métodos semiempíricos, sendo os de Aoki-Velloso (1975) e Décourt-Quaresma (1978) os mais utilizados no brasil. A partir das metodologias semiempíricas obtêm-se valores de capacidade de carga, que são compostos pelas parcelas laterais e ponta de uma estaca. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo realizar uma análise comparativa dos métodos de Aoki-Velloso (1975) e Décourt-Quaresma (1978). Para tanto, foram utilizados 20 SPTs que apresentavam solos com características distintas. Tal comparação foi realizada para estacas hélice contínuas e pré-moldada, com diâmetro de 30 cm. Os resultados do estudo demonstraram que a formulação de Décourt-Quaresma (1978), para os dois tipos de estacas, é sensível a solos arenosos, indicando, resultados conservadores. Por sua vez, o método de Aoki-Velloso (1975) tendeu a resultar em valores majorados de capacidade de carga geotécnica para solos arenosos. Por fim, vale ressaltar que para estacas pré-moldadas, observou-se menor variação nos valores de capacidade de carga geotécnica dentre os métodos analisados.
GESTÃO POR COMPETÊNCIA EM INSTITUIÇÕES FEDERAIS DE ENSINO SUPERIOR

Desde a publicação do Decreto nº 5.7007/2006, até o presente momento, ainda é incipiente o número de Instituições Federais de Ensino Superior (IFES) que implantaram, efetivamente, a gestão por competência. Entre os desafios enfrentados por essas instituições destaca-se o fato de não existir um modelo de gestão de pessoas que considere as suas especificidades. Buscando preencher essa lacuna teórica, este trabalho propõe um modelo teórico de gestão por competências para as IFES, que contribui para a melhoria da eficiência e da eficácia dessas instituições. Além disso, apresenta a gestão por competência como um modelo de gestão relevante para a melhoria do desempenho organizacional das IFES e descreve como esse sistema de gestão alavanca a eficiência e a eficácia organizacional dessas instituições. Buscando alcançar tais objetivos, foi desenvolvido um estudo teórico e se recorreu à pesquisa bibliográfica e à experiência dos autores para elaborar o modelo e definir os conceitos. Conclui-se que a gestão por competência contribui para melhorar a eficiência e a eficácia do desempenho organizacional das IFES. Por fim, recomenda-se que sejam realizadas pesquisas empíricas, onde eventualmente esse modelo venha a ser implantado, que acompanhem, testem e avaliem o modelo teórico elaborado neste trabalho.

O planejamento é essencial para o início de qualquer projeto. No que se diz respeito ao empreendedorismo, o planejamento se torna ainda mais importante, pois define o sucesso do negócio.O estudo de caso apresenta a implementação da Gestão de Projetos no planejamento e desenvolvimento de um escritório de arquitetura, realizado através de ações estratégicas, por meio do Modelo de Negócios Canvas, da Estrutura Analítica de Projetos [EAP], e da Gestão do Cronograma. 

  Utilizou-se como base o guia Project Management Body of Knowledge [PMBOK], a fim de criar um modelo de Projeto Empresarial de Escritório de Sucesso, ou seja, um template de sucesso por meio da Estrutura Analítica de Projetos [EAP], que pode ser utilizado por qualquer empreendedor. 

 Esperou-se através do projeto de pesquisa, despertar a importância do planejamento junto ao empreendedorismo, mediante ao cenário de pandemia no ano de 2020 e do avanço da Indústria 4.0; promover o empreendedorismo 4.0 como canal de inovação para a abertura de micro e pequenas empresas, e driblar a principal causa do fracasso das empresas, que é a falta de planejamento.

Gledališki eksperiment na Slovenskem (1966–1986) in njegovi odmevi v mladinski dramatiki – Andrej Rozman Roza
Authors: Blažić Milena Mileva
Published: March 2024

In Slovenian (youth) literature, three authors who have worked in the field of drama and/or theatre stand out – namely, Svetlana Makarovič, academically trained actress (Sapramiška), Milan Jesih (Four Plays for Children, adaptations of Andersen’s fairy tales The Emperor’s New Clothes and The Ugly Duckling) and Andrej Rozman Roza. The paper will focus on the latter, who was strongly influenced by the theatre experiment in Slovenia, especially during the formative period of his studies of the Slovenian language (1974–1978). Andrej Rozman Roza (1956) started performing and/or publishing plays in the period 1981– 1990 (Inspector Schwake, 1986; collection of texts Ana Monró Theatre, 1991, etc.). He is known in literary history as a youth poet and is included in Slovenian language curricula (1998, 2011, 2018). However, the definition of a systemic author is more appropriate for him (I. Even Zohar, M. Dović) since of the six functions in the literary system (author, institution, market, repertoire, book, reader) he holds at least three roles (author, “institution”, book [living book], etc.). This paper focuses on adaptations of classics of Slovenian (Cankar, Levstik, Linhart, Prešeren, etc.) or world literature that – regardless of literary genre or type – have become crossover literature in the process of literary reception, especially in picture-book editions (e.g., A Midsummer Night’s Dream which has the international fairy tale type number ATU 899A [Pyramus and Thisbe]). According to B. Kümmerling-Meibauer’s definition of crossover classics or authorship, Rozman is a crossover author. In addition, according to L. Hutcheon’s theory, adaptations are an important part of Rozman’s work and contribute to the updating of classics and modern classics. The paper presents the collection Brvi čez morje (The Footbridge Across the Sea), which contains thirteen plays, three of which are folktale texts – Janko and Metka (Hansel and Gretel) [ATU 327], Obuti maček (Puss in Boots) [ATU 545B], Vžigalnik (The Tinderbox) [ATU 562] – and one which is a fairy tale, Kekec [ATU 1137]). Intertextually, they refer to folktale types.
Na koncu imaš samo obleko brez žepov / Intervju z Iztokom Toryjem
Authors: Jesenko Primož
Published: March 2024

Iztok Tory (roj. 1947), diplomirani gledališki in radijski režiser, je zapisan v širšo gledališko zavest kot režiser Kasparja Petra Handkeja, krstne predstave Eksperimentalnega gledališča Glej leta 1970. Pozneje je še režiral v EG Glej in po različnih gledališčih v Ljubljani (SNG Drama, Mladinsko gledališče, Lutkovno gledališče), v PG Kranj, PDG Nova Gorica, SLG Celje in že od študentskih časov v Šentjakobskem gledališču, poklicno pot pa je nadaljeval na RTV Ljubljana in jo sklenil na današnji Televiziji Slovenija. Večjo pozornost mu kot režiserju posveti Veno Taufer, predstavo Varovanec hoče biti varuh (1972) uvrsti v linijo Spomenika G, Pupilije in Potohodca ter v njej razbere vizijo »nekakšnega senzualno teatralnega gledališča«. Tory razlik med profesionalnim in ljubiteljskim pristopom h gledališču ne izpostavlja in jih na neki način ne čuti, gledališče doživlja kot polje dialoga in eksperimentiranja, kjer se kaj posreči, kaj pa tudi ne. Ustvarjalec, ki ga je gledališki medij omejeval kot preozek, preveč prazen adrenalina, zato je prestopil v drugega, čez cesto.
D'une Servante à l'autre. Transmission et projections, de la page au petit écran
Authors: Demange Jacques
Published: March 2024

En 2017, la diffusion de l’adaptation en série de du roman dystopique La Servante écarlate (The Handmaid’s Tale, 1985) a permis à un large public de découvrir le nom et l’œuvre de la romancière canadienne Margaret Atwood. Or, cet ouvrage avait déjà fait l’objet d’une adaptation sur le grand écran et ce, dès 1990. Boudé par les spectateurs, peu apprécié par la critique, le film de Volker Schlöndorff a rapidement été oublié, tandis que la série de Bruce Miller continue de s’attirer les faveurs de ses nombreux commentateurs. Le présent article cherchera à comprendre cette différence d’appréciation en se demandant  si le format de la série télévisée serait plus à même de cerner les thématiques et les problématiques littéraires posées par le roman de Atwood à partir du langage audiovisuel qui est le sien.
