Authors: Simonelli Marcelo , Silva Magnago Luiz Fernando , Ribeiro Matos Fabio Antônio , Charles Kollmann Ludovic Jean
Published: March 2019

In this work we discussed aspects related to the floristic composition of Serra das Torres, south of the Espírito Santo state, Brazil, highlighting species threatened with extinction, aiming at subsidizing the decision as to the feasibility of creating a Conservation Unit of the region. About 201 species are identificated, belonging to 136 genera and 59 families. The family was of greater richness Bromeliaceae with 39 species. We found 17 species threatened with extinction, demonstrating that the study area can be considerate priority in biodiversity conservation, requiring actions of preservation and justifying the implantation of a conservation unit at the site.

Serra das Torres is an area in the south of Espírito Santo State, presenting diverse fitossociological formations of the Atlantic Forest that makes this area potentially interesting from the biological point of view. Considering the biological context this work makes a brief inventory of the Chiroptera in Serra das Torres to determine the importance of area conservation. Data were collected in five nigths by the end of 2007 rainfall season, totalizing 30 sampled hours (6 hours per nigh). On each sampled hour we used, approximately 440 mist net meters. We captured a total of 158 bats from 15 different species, including rare and uncommon Espírito Santo’s bat species. We pinpoint the occurrence of Platyrrhinus recifinus, a vulnerable specie with data and knowledge are limited. Data suggest a diverse community and, probably, environmental quality demanding some conservation efforts. Keywords: Chiroptera. Conservation. Serra das Torres. INTRODUÇÃO Dentre os mamíferos, a ordem Chiroptera se destaca por sua importância na manutenção de processos ecológicos fundamentais do ecossistema como: dispersão de sementes, polinização e controle de populações animais (GRIBEL et al., 1990). A polinização e a dispersão promovida por morcegos favorecem a continuidade do fluxo gênico entre populações de plantas enquanto o hábito insetívoro é responsável pelo consumo de uma considerável biomassa de invertebrados predadores de óvulos, predadores de sementes, folívoros, fitófagos e parasitas (CLEVELAND et al., 2006; GRIBEL et al., 1990). Segundo Fenton et al. (1992), uma fauna diversa de morcegos

It’s about a service experience at the Ocupation Therapy Clinic of FAESA, called Occupational Therapy Attention Center (CATO) which is a device to attend patients with serious mental disorders. The theories that govern this practice are shown as well as the description of the activities developed in this proposal. This kind of work is important because it is one of the alternatives for replacement of the reclusement illusion, which commends the assistance of the mental illness porter through a creative space, living and the experiment of activities that help the expression, the contact with the external reality, as well as the family and community integration and the social inclusion. In the treatment plan the construction of works in social introduction, respecting individuals possibilities and the citizenship principals that minimize the stigma and promote the autonomy and the independency of each individual before life. Some simple words, but spontaneous, in the creativity process of some founded solutions, conquested jobs, the reconquested autonomy, all that gives us the return and reveal to us how this work is inscribed in these people lives.

Published: March 2019

Little is known about the multidimensional nature and the complexity of the brazilian imprisonment process. The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze the identi-tary processes present in the population of a female-only penitentiary in Espírito Santo. The sample was constituted of 60 female convicts, whom had their psychosocial ran-domly selected. To be included in the sample the female convicts signed a term of consent to participate and the access to the records had the consent of the institution. The first part of the study is constituted of the data from the 60 records. During the second part were realized interviews with 30 female convicts between the selected records. The data was treated statistically with the program SPSS 17.0 (Statistical Package of the Social Sciences). The quantitative analysis was constructed in catego-ries of analysis, as proposed by Bardin (2009). The data indicated the prevalence of low scholarship, of the relation of the crime by influence of the partner and by financial issues. In the identity constitution issue, we verified the cultural convention about the women identity of an esthetical image, of body care and hygiene that should be kept in the prison context, but are largely disregarded.

Published: March 2019

The aim of this work is to propose actions that enable the improvement of health and safety of a civil construction company in the city of Vila Velha - ES, reducing the risks of accidents and occupational diseases. Initially, we performed a literature research, followed by a case study on the construction site of this company. We used a checklist to collect data on the construction site, where it was possible to identify the situation in which this plot was in respect to the requirements of the regulations concerning health and safety in construction. It was found that irregularities were found in compliance with RN-18 and other Complementary Regulatory Standards. However, the causes of the disagreements are more managerial in nature and culture of the employees than the rigor of the requirements of the Standards. It was concluded that it is possible to im-prove compliance with the requirements of the Standards in this company, contributing to the promotion of environments conducive to health and well being.
Uma reflexão existencial humanista sobre a relação de pacientes terminais com a morte iminente
Authors: Braga Simão Clarice , Nogueira Pereira Fábio
Published: March 2019

This essay discusses the relationship terminal patients have with their diagnoses and imminent death in light of existential humanism. In order to do so, we present key concepts from different authors on human life, existential limitations, and dealing with death. Even knowing that death is a consequence of being alive, conflicts may rise after being diagnosed with a terminal illness. We understand that conflicts go beyond health/illness and life/death issues as they also question life span, wellness and the treatment. The purpose of this reflection is to broaden the discussion about human finitude and how we deal with death. We also discuss the role of the psychologist in patient monitoring and mediation in a multidisciplinary team at hospitals. Finally, we suggest aspects that should be addressed in future researches and professional training.
Innovation strategies of Swiss firms: identification, dynamics and intra-industry heterogeneity
Authors: Hollenstein Heinz
Published: March 2019

The study aims at providing new evidence with respect to the still unresolved question, whether the innovation behaviour of firms reflects industry-specific characteristics (“technological regime approach”), or whether it is the outcome of firm-specific strategies to gaining a competitive edge (“strategic management view”). To this end, the author firstly identifies a set of innovation strategies (cluster analysis), whose adequacy he evaluates using the “economics of innovation” as reference. Secondly, the author investigates the dynamics of innovation strategies to get some insights into structural change of the economy. Thirdly, he examines, based on a large number of 4-digit industries, the intra-industry heterogeneity of innovation strategies. Finally, the author analyses in a production function framework the relative importance of a company’s innovation strategy and its industry affiliation as determinants of firm performance. The third part of the paper tends to support the “strategic management view” (high intraindustry heterogeneity), while the final one is rather in line with the “technological regime approach” (industry affiliation is more important as a factor determining firm performance). These opposite findings indicate that a company has a certain room of manoeuvre to choose an innovation strategy in line with its specific capabilities, but some structural characteristics at industry level restrict its strategic options.

Abstract. GANDALF (Gas Analyzer for Nitrogen Dioxide Applying Laser-induced
Fluorescence), a new instrument for the detection of nitrogen dioxide based
on the laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) technique, is presented in this
paper. GANDALF is designed for ground-based and airborne deployment with a
robust calibration system. In the current set-up, it uses a multi-mode diode
laser (447–450 nm) and performs in situ, continuous, and autonomous
measurements with a laser pulse repetition rate of 5 MHz. The performance of
GANDALF was tested during the summer of year 2011 (15 August–10 September) in a
field experiment at Kleiner Feldberg, Germany. The location is within a
forested region with an urban influence, where NOx levels were between 0.12
and 22 parts per billion by volume (ppb). Based on the field results, the
limit of detection is estimated at 5–10 parts per trillion by volume
(ppt) in 60 s at a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 2. The overall accuracy and
precision of the instrument are better than 5 % (1σ) and
0.5 %+3 ppt (1σ min−1), respectively. A comparison of
nitrogen dioxide measurements based on several techniques during the field
campaign PARADE 2011 is presented to explore methodic differences.
Trend-preserving bias adjustment and statistical downscaling with ISIMIP3BASD (v1.0)
Authors: Lange Stefan
Published: March 2019

Abstract. In this paper I present new methods for bias adjustment and statistical downscaling that are tailored to the requirements of the Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project (ISIMIP). In comparison to their predecessors, the new methods allow for a more robust bias adjustment of extreme values, preserve trends more accurately across quantiles, and facilitate a clearer separation of bias adjustment and statistical downscaling. The new statistical downscaling method is stochastic and better at adjusting spatial variability than the old interpolation method. Improvements in bias adjustment and trend preservation are demonstrated in a cross-validation framework.
Increased Greenland melt triggered by large-scale, year-round cyclonic moisture intrusions
Authors: Oltmanns Marilena , Straneo Fiammetta , Tedesco Marco
Published: March 2019

Abstract. Surface melting is a major
driver of Greenland's mass loss. Yet, the mechanisms that trigger melt are
still insufficiently understood because seasonally based studies blend
processes initiating melt with positive feedbacks. Here, we focus on the
triggers of melt by examining the synoptic atmospheric conditions associated
with 313 rapid melt increases, detected in a satellite-derived melt extent
product, equally distributed throughout the year over the period 1979–2012.
By combining reanalysis and weather station data, we show that melt is
initiated by a cyclone-driven, southerly flow of warm, moist air, which gives
rise to large-scale precipitation. A decomposition of the synoptic
atmospheric variability over Greenland suggests that the identified,
melt-triggering weather pattern accounts for ∼40 % of the net
precipitation, but increases in the frequency, duration and areal extent of
the initiated melting have shifted the line between mass gain and mass loss
as more melt and rainwater run off or accumulate in the snowpack. Using a
regional climate model, we estimate that the initiated melting more than
doubled over the investigated period, amounting to ∼28 % of the
overall surface melt and revealing that, despite the involved mass gain,
year-round precipitation events are participating in the ice sheet's decline.

El incremento de estudiantes de español en países de habla árabe en las últimas décadasha traído como consecuencia la necesidad de indagar en la naturaleza del proceso de enseñanzaaprendizajede español en este contexto. Así, son numerosos los estudios que abordan lasdificultades que surgen en las aulas y que han puesto de relieve la necesidad de llevar a caboestudios más detallados que permitan revisar los modos en los que se enseña el español a losestudiantes arabófonos. Ante estas necesidades, el objetivo de este trabajo es doble. En primerlugar, se busca compilar las aportaciones de los estudios realizados hasta el momento acerca decómo se comunican de manera escrita estos estudiantes. Posteriormente, se presentan los resultadosobtenidos tras el estudio pormenorizado de las producciones escritas llevadas a cabo por latotalidad de las estudiantes de un centro universitario de Beirut (Líbano). El análisis de laefectividad comunicativa de los textos producidos en diferentes niveles de domino ha permitidoobservar la capacidad para el reconocimiento de la situación retórica desde niveles iniciales, laincidencia del nivel de dominio en la corrección gramatical y las diferencias con respecto al uso delléxico y de la organización incluso dentro de estudiantes de un mismo nivel, entre otros. Estasaportaciones destacan por su utilidad para la revisión de los modelos empleados para la enseñanzade la escritura de español a arabófonos.

Published: March 2019

Comprender las complejas interrelaciones semánticas de los conceptos científicos,principalmente en las áreas interdisciplinares, sigue siendo un problema para los investigadores. Eneste trabajo se exponen los principales resultados de un estudio cuyo principal objetivo fue identificary visualizar los focos de investigación de dos categorías Web of Science (WoS) correspondientes a lasáreas de la Lingüística y la Comunicación, durante el periodo comprendido entre 2007 y 2017.Primero, las palabras-clave, extraídas de la producción científica indexada en WoS, se usaron paraidentificar los conceptos y temas de investigación de forma estadística. A continuación, se realizó unanálisis de co-palabras basado en matrices de co-ocurrencia en el que, por un lado, se agruparon laspalabras-clave para identificar conglomerados temáticos y, por el otro, se adoptó el método delanálisis de redes para identificar la estructura jerárquica de ambos dominios científicos. Losresultados mostraron que los principales focos de investigación se sintetizaron en: Análisis deldiscurso y Géneros discursivos, Etnografía de la comunicación, Identidad lingüística, Pragmática yAnálisis de la conversación, Lingüística textual, Teoría de la argumentación, Retórica, Traducción,Intertextualidad y Sociolingüística. La conclusión general fue que los mapas y redes obtenidaspermitieron alcanzar un mayor nivel de comprensión del dominio de conocimiento interdisciplinariode la Lingüística y la Comunicación.
Adquisición del lenguaje y capacidades cognitivas innatas: Un enfoque desde la teoría de los modelos mentales
Authors: López-Astorga Miguel
Published: March 2019

Según Hornstein, la gramática generativa necesita ofrecer una explicación del hecho deque los niños pueden aprender cualquier idioma viviendo en contextos con muchas limitaciones ydeficiencias desde el punto de vista lingüístico. Piensa que las teorías inductivas no son capaces deaclarar cómo acontece el aprendizaje con tales limitaciones y deficiencias. Del mismo modo, en suopinión, las teorías semánticas no muestran por qué la semántica es necesaria para explicar esehecho. No obstante, el propósito de este trabajo es argumentar a favor de la idea de que una teoríacognitiva esencialmente semántica, la teoría de los modelos mentales, puede no solo clarificar elmencionado hecho, sino también evidenciar que la semántica es fundamental en la mayor parte delas actividades intelectuales humanas.
La agenda temática sobre la universidad española en prensa entre 2010 y 2013. El encuadre informativo-discursivo de El País, El Mundo, La Vanguardia y ABC
Authors: Villar-Hernández Paz
Published: March 2019

En los últimos años la universidad española ha vivido cambios a nivel político y comunicativo de amplio alcance, consecuencia en parte de su incorporación al Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior y su participación en redes internacionales de excelencia, lo que le ha llevado atransformar su agenda informativa y especializar sus gabinetes de comunicación. En este trabajo seanaliza el discurso sobre la universidad y la educación superior en prensa en cuatro de los periódicosde ámbito nacional de mayor difusión: El País, El Mundo, La Vanguardia y ABC, durante un períodode cuatro años (2010-2013). El objetivo es conocer el imaginario social que crean acerca de estainstitución educativa atendiendo a su construcción del nivel enunciativo de encuadre, en concreto laagenda informativa creada por estos medios. Para ello, empleamos una metodología mixta quecombina el análisis de contenido y el modelo de análisis pragmático del discurso de Gallardo-Paúls. Los resultados demuestran que estos medios comparten parte de su agenda informativa, peromantienen diferencias de criterio informativo en temas y con colectivos especialmente significativosideológica, cultural o políticamente para ellos. Se observa también la existencia de cierto paralelismopolítico.
Playful Twitter accounts and the socialisation of literary institutions
Authors: Weber Millicent , Driscoll Beth
Published: March 2019

Humour serves a variety of purposes on social media, from aesthetic content creation and social interaction through to corporate and institutional branding. Playful social media accounts tap into existing knowledge while building and consolidating networks. This article presents a contextualising model of commercial, cultural, and specifically bookish humour on Twitter, addressing such humour’s global reach and local context (Australia). We employ a practice-led approach and report on our creation of two playful Twitter accounts that promote AustLit, a repository of metadata about Australian literature. Quantitative and qualitative analysis demonstrates that scholarly institutions and academics were more likely to follow the pseudo-authoritative, numbers-focused @AustLitCodex account, but that the more broadly popular and engaging format was the enthusiasm of @AustLitTrip (which has a sheepdog persona). These accounts demonstrate the scope for playful Twitter to build audiences for cultural institutions and promote positive, albeit niche, online discussions.
Professores pesquisadores e o desafio de trabalhar com a História difícil: uma experiência de estágio supervisionado
Authors: Sobanski Adriane , Quadros Camila
Published: March 2019

Há evidências de que os Cursos superiores de História ainda mantém uma dicotomia entre os estudantes do Bacharelado, formados para ser os historiadores, pesquisadores, e os estudantes da Licenciatura, voltados ao aprendizado de metodologias e recursos para repassar o conhecimento desenvolvido pela Academia na Educação Básica. Ao promover uma formação inicial, ressignificando a função dos professores de História com historiadores, sobretudo com a identificação da pesquisa, os futuros professores de História reconhecem na sua ciência de referência as condições de produção de conhecimento e do desenvolvimento de aulas mais significativas, sobretudo quando os conteúdos dizem respeito à Burdening History, ou História Difícil.
Rudolf Brazda e o Parágrafo 175: A luta de um prisioneiro homossexual nos campos de concentração
Authors: Molina Luana Pagano Peres , Andrade Lucas De Melo , Silva Pedro Arthur Passos da
Published: March 2019

O presente artigo busca apresentar as experiências do prisioneiro de guerra Rudolf Brazda, que por ser homossexual foi preso no campo de concentração de Buchenwald, na Alemanha Nazista. No início do século XX, a concepção dos movimentos eugênicos – influenciados pelo darwinismo social –, como a segregação, o racismo, a homofobia, a perseguição e a intolerância ganharam viés científico e, dessa forma, possibilitaram o desenvolvimento de políticas que disseminassem o preconceito e a criminalização dos envolvidos. Neste contexto, Brazda teve sua liberdade civil violada pelo regime totalitário de Hitler devido ao parágrafo 175 do Código Penal Alemão, que determinava a homossexualidade masculina e a zoofilia como luxúria, passíveis de condenação e perda dos direitos civis. Brazda, portanto, foi obrigado a permanecer por 32 meses detido em um ambiente de pura exposição dos ideais totalitaristas incorporados ao governo nazista. Dessa forma, pretende-se retratar em que medida as experiências nazistas do Terceiro Reich influenciaram no surgimento de políticas internacionais de defesa dos direitos humanos, a exemplo da Declaração Universal dos Direitos Humanos, com o objetivo de ajustar garantias e deveres essenciais para a exaltação, preservação dos indivíduos e reconhecimento diplomático de sua dignidade.

Published: March 2019

To evaluate the variation in ‘Palmer’ mango yield related to soil formation and soil physical and chemical properties, we studied a transect with 11 soil profiles, selected according to the altitude in a commercial orchard. Surface and subsurface diagnostic horizons were described up to two meters in depth. Soil depth, texture, structure, consistency, clay coating, cementation, and color of each horizon were morphologically determined. Undisturbed and disturbed samples were used to determine the soil total porosity, macroporosity, microporosity, density, saturated hydraulic conductivity, granulometry, total organic carbon, pH, sum of bases, and the contents of P, S, K, Na, Ca, Mg, Al, Fe, Mn, Cu, and Zn. The number of fruits (for production estimates), stem diameter, canopy area, and plant height were determined in four plants around each soil profile. Three classes of soil showed good suitability for mango cultivation: Argisol Red-Yellow Eutrophic typic, Cambisol Haplic Eutrophic Tb, and Latosol Red Yellow Eutrophic typic. The ‘Palmer’ mango yield was correlated with the K contents, sum of bases, and pH. The low yield was a result of the low K content associated with the presence of gravel.

Pineapple is commonly planted in monoculture systems. It is a long-cycle crop that takes time to monetize, which hinders its cropping by small farmers. The objective of this work was to evaluate the production and quality of pineapple with short-cycle crops, at the beginning of the growing period, as an alternative for family farming in the state of Tocantins. The experimental design was randomized complete block with three treatments and four replications. The pineapple was intercropped with rice and cowpea. The treatments consisted of T1: pineapple + rice; T2: pineapple + cowpea and T3: pineapple in monoculture. The evaluated variables of the pineapple fruit were pH, soluble solids, titratable acidity, yield, fruit mass, fruit length with crown, fruit length without crown and fruit circumference. For the rice and cowpea, the yield and the Area Equivalence Index (AEI) were determined. The cropping system did not influence the pineapple fruits quality. The pineapple yielded less. Cowpea yielded more when intercropped with pineapple. The AEI of the pineapple + rice intercropping was 2.07, being feasible for increasing the use of the area by 100%. The AEI of the pineapple + cowpea intercropping was 2.48, being feasible as it increased the use of the area by 148%. The results obtained showed that it is possible to intercrop pineapple with rice or cowpea at the beginning of pineapple cultivation, and it can be a viable alternative for family farming.

The initial protection of plants through the use of insecticides and fungicides has been shown to be efficient for a good management of pests and diseases, however the molecules used in seed treatment have demonstrated a physiological effect on germination and initial vegetative development. The present work had as objective the evaluation of the physiological effect caused by two insecticides and a fungicide on the germination and vigor of the seeds. A randomized block design with six treatments and four replications was used. The treatments were: T1-water; T2-Rocks® insecticide; T3-Insecticide Cruiser 350 FS®; T4-Maxim XL® fungicide; T5-Rocks® + Maxim XL® and T5-Cruiser 350 FS® + Maxim XL®. The application of the treatments was performed according to the manufacturers’ recommendations and the percentage of germination of the seeds was evaluated, on paper and sand roll substrates, the rate of emergence, the total length of seedlings, the electrical conductivity of the imbibition and aging solution accelerated, with a later pattern of germination. The data were submitted to Analysis of Variance and the means were compared by the Tukey test. The results indicated that there were statistically significant differences for all variables except paper germination. The treatments that received the application of the Maxim XL fungicide demonstrated superiority, both in the evaluation of germination in sand substrate, and in the vigor evaluations of seeds and seedlings, while the treatments that received application of Rocks insecticide were inferior to the other.

Published: March 2019

Accumulation of biomass and competition for nutrients can be used as parameters to identify species with higher potential for competition and, thus, with larger interference in crops. Consequently, studies addressing these parameters are important to weed science since they are the main factors that negatively affect the growth and productivity of cultivated plants. The objective of this research was to identify the species of weed plants with the largest potential of biomass production and accumulation of mineral nutrients in their leaves, which in turn, lead to higher interference in orange crops. In the floristic survey, 30 species of weed plants were identified and 14 botanic families, totaling 1341 sampled specimens. The phytosociological analysis showed, as per the importance value (IV), that the most representative weed species in the study area were as follows: Conyza bonariensis (L. (Cronquist)), Spermacoce latifolia Albl., Paspalum conjugatum PJ Bergius, Pueraria phaseoloides (Roxb.) Benth., Mollugo verticillate L., Peperomia pelucida (L.) Kunth, Euphorbia heterophylla L., Paspalum multicaule Poir and Waltheria corchorifolia Pers. Among these, the species with the highest production of biomass and accumulation of mineral nutrients in their tissues were S. latifolia, P. phaseoloides, P. conjugatum and C. bonariensis. This result suggests that these species are of high competitive potential against orange crops due to their high capacity for biomass and micronutrients accumulation.

Because it is a species of tropical climate, the passion fruit is distributed widely in South America, mainly in Brazil. Its cultivation represents approximately 95% of the commercial orchards of the country, nevertheless, it presents productivity below its productive potential, being necessary to obtain cultivars adapted to the climate of the regions of culture. The objective of this work was to evaluate the quality of the fruit pulp of yellow passion fruit produced in Jataí-GO as well as the correlations between some physical and chemical characteristics. The fruits were collected in an experimental orchard and sectioned transversely to obtain the pulp. The characteristics of acidity, vitamin C content, soluble solids content, soluble solids/acidity ratio (Ratio), and pulp color parameters were evaluated through the coordinates L*, a*, b*, C* and h* of yellow passion fruit and of the cultivar FB 200. Data were analyzed by means of analysis of variance and Pearson’s correlation at 5% of significance with the aid of the statistical program Rbio. It is concluded that the characteristics of the fruits of the cultivar FB200 differed from the fruits of yellow passion fruit and that these characteristics correlated significantly and positively.
THREE MUSEUMS OF THE ART OF THE
PACIFIC AND THE FAR EAST – POSTCOLONIAL,
MULTICULTURAL AND PROSOCIAL
Authors: Jasiński Artur , Jasińska Anna
Published: March 2019

Three museums of the art of the Pacific and
the Far East are described in the paper: Singapore National
Gallery, Australian Art Gallery of South Wales in Sydney,
and New Zealand’s Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki. The
institutions have a lot in common: they are all housed in
Neo-Classical buildings, raised in the colonial times, and
have recently been extended, modernized, as well as
adjusted to fulfill new tasks. Apart from displaying Western
art, each of them focuses on promoting the art of the native
peoples: the Malay, Aborigines, and the Maori. Having
been created already in the colonial period as a branch
of British culture, they have been transformed into open
multicultural institutions which combine the main trends
in international museology: infrastructure modernization,
collection digitizing, putting up big temporary exhibitions,
opening to young people and different social groups,
featuring local phenomena, characteristic of the Pacific
Region. The museums’ political and social functions cannot
be overestimated; their ambition is to become culturally
active institutions on a global scale, as well as tools serving
to establish a new type of regional identity of postcolonial
multicultural character.
OVERVIEW OF 2018 AMENDMENTS TO THE ACT
ON ORGANIZING AND RUNNING CULTURAL
ACTIVITY AND THE ACT ON MUSEUMS
Authors: Golat Rafał
Published: March 2019

The year 2018 did not yield any breakthrough
amendments to the Act on Museums. Those adopted were
essentially meant to either adjust or complement the
existing acts, and were adopted as the consequence of the
amendments to other laws. However, the Act on Organizing
and Running Cultural Activity, which actually stands as the
systemic reference, particularly when it comes to museums
operating as cultural institutions, was amended in 2018 to
a greater extent.
The widest range of the above amendments related to
the organizational aspects of the operation of Polish cultural
institutions. Firstly, the option of establishing cultural
institutions with their seat on the territory of Poland was
introduced; this on the grounds of contracts concluded by
ministers and managers of central government offices with
the organizations active within the area of the protection of
national heritage and established in compliance with foreign
law (Amendment of 12 April 2018 to the Law on Organizing
and Running Cultural Activity).
Additionally, the provisions defining competition for
the appointment of the director of a cultural institution in
compliance with the Amendment of 6 December 2018 to
the above Act were substantially extended. The adjusting
character in this context can be seen in the amendment
to Article 16.4.3 of the Act on Organizing and Running
Cultural Activity resulting from the new provisions on the
representative trade union organization in the Trade Unions
Act, resulting from the Act’s amendment of 5 July 2018. The
second scope of the discussed amendments include those
of financial character.
This can be said both of the amendment of 12 April
2018, related to designated fund and foreseeing allocating
them for tasks under state patronage, as well as of the
Amendments of 8 April 2017 to the Act on Organizing and Running Cultural Activity in relation to awarding state aid
from Norway Funds and EEA.
As far as amendments to the Act on Museums in 2018
are concerned, these were reduced to two of very limitedrange
ones, so-called terminology amendments of 3 August
2018 within the framework of the regulations introducing
the Act on Higher Education and Science, limited to the new
phrasing of Articles 10.3.1 and 10.3.2 of the Act on Museums,
these dealing currently with postgraduate students, and the
amendment of 28 January 2018 consisting in incorporating
new Par. 6b in the Act on Museums opening the option for
the Medal of the “Guardian of National Memorial Sites”.
Die Berechnung des Konfidenzintervalls für die Effektgröße Cohen’s d
Authors: Pausch Viola
Published: March 2019

Mit Hilfe der Effektgröße Cohen’s d kann ein Effekt quantitativ und metrikfrei geschätzt werden. Dieser Effekt kann z. B. durch die Abweichung eines Mittelwertes von einem bestimmten Wert oder durch den Mittelwertsunterschied zwischen zwei Stichproben zustande kommen. Die Breite eines Konfidenzintervalls für die Effektgröße Cohen’s d gibt an, wie genau diese Schätzung ist. In diesem Beitrag soll gezeigt werden, warum nichtzentrale t-Verteilungen eine große Rolle in der präzisen Berechnung der Konfidenzintervalle für Cohen’s d spielen und wie diese berechnet werden können. Auf der Online-Plattform Open Science Framework stehen zwei Programme in R frei zur Verfügung, die ein solches Konfidenzintervall für Cohen’s d für eine bzw. für zwei Stichproben ausgehend von den folgenden Eingabeparametern berechnen: Konfidenzniveau (z. B. 95%), Stichprobengröße(n), Mittelwert(e) und Standardabweichung(en). Am Ende dieses Beitrags wird das Vorgehen an einem Beispiel illustriert.
El geobloqueig en el mercat: conseqüències i prediccions
Authors: Esteve Berta
Published: March 2019

El geobloqueig (bloqueig geogràfic o geoblocking) és la pràctica comercial, molt estesa en el sector del comerç electrònic, que permet a les empreses bloquejar els seus serveis o productes en funció de la localització geogràfica dels clients que els consumeixen. Està present sobretot en els continguts i productes digitals.
Amb les eines posades a disposició per mitjà del geobloqueig, les empreses han pogut explotar les diferències de preu entre un país i un altre, i obligar així el consumidor a comprar sempre al seu país d’origen, fins i tot si és més car o si aquest fet implica algun tipus de desavantatge o perjudici per al mateix consumidor. A més, per a les plataformes de difusió de continguts com Netflix, iTunes o Spotify, fer negocis amb territoris individuals els resulta més senzill que fer-ho de manera global. Compartimentalitzar el negoci acaba comportant un benefici que permet també estalviar esforços a l’hora d’aconseguir llicències per a usar els continguts que pretenen posar a disposició dels clients.
Hi ha un important corrent en alça a la Unió Europea manifestament contrari a la pràctica del geobloqueig que considera que les empreses que utilitzen aquest sistema incorren en una pràctica il·legal i contrària al dret de la competència europeu. Associacions de consumidors, experts i entitats diverses han titllat la pràctica del geobloqueig de discriminatòria i han advocat per suprimir-la, però tot i els notoris esforços de les institucions europees per a construir un marc legal que apropi els consumidors dels diferents països de la UE per a compartir un únic mercat digital, sembla que Europa gairebé no s’ha mogut del punt de partida.
Alojamientos vacacionales: hacia un equilibrio entre el control administrativo y la libertad de empresa
Authors: Cubero Marcos José Ignacio
Published: March 2019

Las plataformas electrónicas han contribuido, en los últimos tiempos, a ampliar sensiblemente la oferta de viviendas de uso turístico (VUT) y han trastocado las modalidades de negocio tradicionales en el sector. Por una parte, se precisa un control por parte de la Administración, debido a que deben preservarse la salud, la seguridad y los derechos de los consumidores y usuarios. Por otra, el incremento de la oferta podría alterar la libre competencia. Los propietarios de viviendas no han de afrontar excesivas externalidades, fundamentalmente porque las plataformas electrónicas mejoran la comercialización y la promoción. Además, la ocupación de viviendas ubicadas en edificios de propiedad horizontal puede originar conflictos de convivencia con vecinos que usan la vivienda de forma habitual y no por temporadas. El trabajo tiene por objeto arrojar luz en torno al modo en que la legislación y la jurisprudencia han solucionado esas controversias y, por otro lado, proponer algunos criterios para una regulación proporcionada.
Economía colaborativa e innovación tecnológica en el transporte urbano de viajeros en automóviles de turismo
Authors: Tarrés Vives Marc
Published: March 2019

El artículo tiene como objeto el estudio de la situación actual del transporte urbano de viajeros en automóviles de turismo. Se trata de un tema en el que se conjuga la regulación administrativa junto con la irrupción de las plataformas digitales y sus aplicaciones en un marco de llamada economía colaborativa. Se aboga por una reforma integral de las actividades de taxi y VTC que tome en consideración las necesidades del transporte de viajeros en automóviles de turismo en las ciudades y permita la compatibilidad y convivencia de ambas modalidades de transporte. Los recientes cambios normativos no parecen que sean los más adecuados y permiten augurar futuros conflictos judiciales.
Citizen science in the marine environment: A case-study estimating common dolphin densities in the north-east Atlantic
Authors: Robbins James R , Babey Lucy , Embling Clare B
Published: March 2019

Background. Citizen science is increasingly popular and has the potential to collect extensive datasets at lower costs than traditional surveys. Ferries have been used to collect data on cetacean populations for decades, providing long-term time series allowing for monitoring of cetacean populations. One cetacean species of concern is the common dolphin, which have been found stranded around the north-east Atlantic in recent years, with high numbers on French coasts being attributed to fisheries bycatch. We estimate common dolphin densities in north-east Atlantic and investigate the power of citizen science data to identify changes in marine mammal densities and areas of importance.

Materials & Methods. Data were collected by citizen scientists on ferries between April and October in 2006 - 2017. Common dolphin sightings data from two ferry routes in the Bay of Biscay (n= 569), Celtic Sea (n= 260), and English Channel (n= 75) were used to estimate detection probabilities with detection functions. Density Surface Models estimated density across ferry routes, accounting for the influence of environmental (chlorophyll a, sea surface temperature, depth, and slope), spatial (latitude and longitude) and temporal terms (year and Julian day).

Results. Overall detection probability was highest in the English Channel (0.384) and Bay of Biscay (0.348), and lowest in the Celtic Sea (0.158). Common dolphins were estimated to occur in higher densities in the Celtic Sea (0.400 per km) and the Bay of Biscay (0.319 per km), with low densities in the English Channel (0.025 per km). Densities in the Celtic Sea have been relatively stable on the ferry route since 2006 with a slight decrease in 2017. Densities peaked in the Bay of Biscay in 2013 with lower numbers since. The general trend in the English Channel is for increasing densities of common dolphins over time since 2009.

Discussion. This study highlights the effectiveness of citizen science data to investigate the distribution and density of cetaceans. The densities and temporal changes shown by this study are representative of those from wider-ranging robust estimates. We highlight the ability of citizen science to collect data over extensive periods of time which complements traditional surveys. Such long-term data are important to identify changes within a population; however, citizen science data may, in some situations, present challenges. We provide recommendations to ensure high-quality data which can be used to inform management and conservation of cetacean populations.
Can the levels of toothache-related interests of Google and YouTube users differ between developed and developing countries over the years?
Authors: Lotto Matheus , Aguirre Patricia EA , Strieder Anna P , Cruvinel Agnes FP , Cruvinel Thiago
Published: March 2019

Background: The preferences of Web users can be influenced by distinct factors of populations, such as the ability of obtaining, processing, and understanding health information adequately. In this sense, hypothetically, source-based patterns of health-related Web searches might differ between individuals from developed and developing countries, due to their educational backgrounds. This study aimed to determine the trends of toothache-related searches performed on Google Search and YouTube, regarding differences between developed and developing countries. Methods: This longitudinal study analyzed computational metadata on toothache-related interests of Internet users. Google Trends was accessed to obtain the monthly variation of relative search volume (RSV) of the topic "Toothache-Disease" on Google (G) and YouTube (YT) through 2008 to 2017. Autocorrelation and partial autocorrelation plots, ARIMA models, Kruskal-Wallis, Dunn’s and T tests were performed for evaluating trends, 12-month forecasts and the differences of annual ratios of YT/G searches between developed and developing countries, respectively (P<0.05). Results: Uptrends of RSVs were observed in both country groups over time, although 12-month forecasts tended to plateau. The volumes of searches were larger in developed countries, becoming closer to those observed in developing countries in last years. Independently of country groups, the ratios YT/G remained relatively constant throughout the period, indicating a greater interest in toothache-related information available on Google. Conclusion: In conclusion, toothache-related searches from Google and YouTube increased during the last decade. The preferences of Web users seemed to be influenced by the differences found in the availability and penetration of the Internet, and education levels between developed and developing countries.
