Influence of Religiosity among Adolescence in Rural and Urban Areas
Authors: Niyas Muhammed. P
Published: November 2020

Research largely shows that religion has a positive correlation to psychological well-being. Religion is an organized collection of beliefs, cultural systems, and world views that related humanity to an order of existence. Many religions have narratives, symbols and sacred histories that are intended to explain the meaning of life or the universe. From their beliefs about the cosmos and human nature, people derive morality, ethics, religious laws or preferred lifestyles. According to some estimates, there are roughly 4200 religions in the world. Many religions may have organized behaviours, clergy, a definition of what constitutes adherence or membership, holy places, sermons, commemoration or veneration of a deity, Gods or Goodness, Scarifies, festivals, feasts, trance, initiations, funerary services, matrimonial services, meditation, prayer, music, art, dance, public services or other aspects of human culture. Religion influence individual personal and social overall development. Every religion is giving more importance to love and peace. However, a close looks on these religiosity highly influence in the individuals in both rural and urban areas. The study findings provide how the religiosity influencing among adolescence in rural and urban areas concluded that religiosity among rural adolescence is higher than the adolescence from urban area. Here we used “Rajamanickam’s Religious Attitude Scale “proposed by Rajamanickam (1989) for measurement.

Published: November 2020

Recent academic attention in the neuropsychological groundwork of main personality factors, along with the recognition of both personality and executive functioning (EF) as major predictors of memory related problems, suggest the requirement of examining personality-EF connections. The main intend of this study was to probe into the associations between personality traits and executive functioning (i.e. Motivational Drive, Strategic Planning, Organization, Impulse Control, and Empathy). To fulfill the purpose of the study a sample consisting of approximately 50 graduate students were taken from Maharshi Dayanand University, Rohtak by using incidental sampling technique. The age range of the sample varied from 20 to 30 years. The participants were administered Executive Function Index (EFI) and NEO-FFI. The data was analyzed by using appropriate statistical analysis in order to delineate the relation between the variables under study. There are found positive significant associations on extraversion, openness and conscientiousness with executive functions. Neuroticism is found to be negatively correlated with executive functions. A notable contribution of Conscientiousness to executive functions among students is observed.

Authors: Sukrita Mukherjee  , Dr. Ishita Chatterjee
Published: November 2020

Cognitive style or thinking style is a term used in cognitive psychology to describe the way individuals think, perceive and remember information. The present study aims to understand the cognitive style adapted by higher secondary students. The study sample consists of 90 higher secondary school students (30 each from science, humanities and commerce background). The male female ratio was 50:50. The age range was from 16-18 years. They were all from middle socio-economic status. They were administered an adapted version of cognitive style questionnaire by Ancona, Kochan, Scully, Van maanen and Westney. The results indicate for the dimension of Sensing there was significant effect of stream of study and gender. For the Intuition dimension again there was a significant effect of stream and gender. For Perceiving dimension also there was a significant effect of stream and gender. Sensing was highest for the science stream and lowest for the Humanities. Again Intuition was highest for the Humanities stream and lowest for the Science stream. The males have always scored highest in the dimension of Perceiving than their female counterparts both in Humanities and Science stream. And the female irrespective of the stream of study has scored higher in the Intuitive dimension. The present study is helpful in the field of designing educational guidance and curriculum for the Higher Secondary Students.
Developing Programmed Learning Material for Teaching Science of CBSE Class IX
Authors: Himanshu Tripathi  , Dr. JE Merlin Sasikala
Published: November 2020

We will begin by discussing the early history of programmed learning and showing how the interpretation of the term has evolved over the years. The origin of programmed learning had its roots in behavioural psychology- the new ‘scientific’ school of psychology that was pioneered by the American psychologist B F Skinner during the 1950’s. Behavioural psychology was based on what is generally referred to as the stimulus response (S-R) model of behaviour. One important feature of the original stimulus-response model of learning was the concept of successive reinforcement. Another feature is that a desired S-R bond would be firmly established if the learner was supplied with immediate feedback in the form of the correct answer immediately after attempting a particular learning task such as answering a question. Another feature of Skinner’s original theory was that each successive stimulus-response step should be small enough to ensure that the learner was nearly always correct in his or her response.
Casual Reading Habits and Interpersonal Reactivity: A Correlational Study
Authors: Deepti S
Published: November 2020

Empathy, as a factor has been widely researched about in counselling and clinical situations. Most recently, it is being explored in terms of positive psychology. Several studies have linked empathy to general well-being and life satisfaction of people. It has also shown a reduction in social conflicts and increased peace-keeping intentions. Therefore it is important to understand factors that can lead to an increase in empathy in individuals. This is a study that attempted to understand if there is a relationship between casual reading and interpersonal reactivity-which measures dimensions of cognitive and emotional empathy. Reading has been linked to several benefits for people among which are also emotional and cognitive maturity. This study tried to understand if these benefits extend to include empathy as well. The respondents were all post-graduate students chosen through convenient sampling method. For this purpose, the researcher developed a Casual Reading Checklist which was aimed at understanding the frequency and range of the casual reading habits of people. A total reading habit score was derived out of the same. Along with this, the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (Davies, 1980) was administered to respondents. This scale helps understand empathy over four distinct dimensions- Perspective-taking, Fantasy, Empathic Concern and Personal Distress. A correlation analysis was undertaken to check if there was a relationship between the dimensions of empathy and casual reading habits. Results indicated a significant correlation between casual reading habits and the combined score from the dimensions of Cognitive Empathy. This was an attempt to understand if there is a possibility of using the habit of reading in the form of psychotherapy for general well-being and life satisfaction-at the individual as well as the societal level.

Brief Mindfulness Meditation Based Stress Reduction Programme in Controlling Examination Anxiety of Secondary School Students
Authors: Arjunan, N. K  , Joxy Joseph
Published: November 2020

The relationship between anxiety and impaired academic performance has been well documented by a number of investigators (Tyron, 1980; Hill & Wigfield, 1984; Topp, 1989; Sud & Sharma, 1990; Zeidner, 1990; Zoller & Ben-chain, 1990). Everyone should feel somewhat anxious before they begin to take a test. Anxiety becomes a problem when it begins to interfere with a student’s ability to think logically or remember facts. Examination anxiety (test-anxiety) is a common and frequently debilitating condition characterized by intense fear of evaluation in performance situations (Jefferys, 1997). It has an early onset (Otto et al., 2001) and regularly precedes other anxiety, mood, and substance dependence disorders (Lampe et al.,. 2003). Examination anxiety is associated with significant distress and functional impairment in both work and social domains (Lochner et al., 2003) and typically persists unless treated (Clark & Wells, 1995). The early onset of test-anxiety .magnifies its impact, including increased school dropout (Van Ameringen et al., 2003), poor social integration, and increased comorbid psychopathology (Lampe et al., 2003).

Simulationsbasierte Systemauslegung von Elektrobuslinien
Authors:   ,   Technische Universität Dresden, Ufert Martin
Published: November 2020

Die anhaltende Diskussion um die Einhaltung gesetzlicher Vorgaben und Grenzwerte von Emissionen in Großstädten veranlassen kommunale Verkehrsunternehmen zuneh-mend zur Umstellung ihrer Flotten von konventionellen Dieselbussen hin zu Elektro-bussen. Aufgrund des geringeren Energieinhalts, der begrenzten Lebensdauer und der oftmals zeitaufwändigen Nachladung der Traktionsbatterien erfordert die Einführung von Elektrobussen eine komplexe Systemauslegung, welche das Zusammenspiel aus Fahrzeug, Betrieb und Ladeinfrastruktur berücksichtigt. Der Fokus bisheriger Forschungsarbeiten zu diesem Thema liegt mehrheitlich auf einem grundlegenden Technologievergleich sowie der Berechnung der Total-Cost-of-Ownership. Dabei wird für die Systemauslegung oftmals ein heuristisches Vorgehen mit empirischen Energieverbrauchswerten auf Basis linearisierter Modellansätze an-gewendet. Besonders die Traktionsbatterien der Fahrzeuge weisen jedoch ein stark nichtlineares Betriebsverhalten auf. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird eine Simulationsumgebung für einzelne Elektrobus-linien entwickelt. Diese ermöglicht es, das Betriebsverhalten unterschiedlicher System-konfigurationen aus Fahrzeug, Traktionsbatterie und Nachladestrategien zu berechnen und zu vergleichen. Kern der Simulation ist ein zweistufiges Batteriemodell. Eine innere Schleife berechnet auf Basis von Mikrozeitschritten die elektro-thermische Belastung der Batterie, auf deren Basis in der äußeren Schleife die resultierende Schädigung und Lebensdauererwartung ermittelt werden. Zusätzlich wird eine Optimierungsfunktion mit dem Ziel implementiert, die elektrobusspezifischen Systemkosten mittels einer wirtschaftlichen Systemauslegung und einer angepassten Nachladestrategie zu reduzieren. Dadurch wird die Ermittlung eines wirtschaftlich optimalen Systems ermöglicht, wobei die Minimierung der Systemkosten als Optimierungsziel dient. Der Modellansatz basiert auf einer Differenzkostenanalyse. In einem demonstrierten Anwendungsbeispiel beträgt das maximale Optimierungs-potential mehr als 13%, während das mittlere Potential mehr als 5% beträgt. Aus den absoluten Ergebnissen der Optimierungsrechnungen werden Sensitivitäten einzelner Kostenparameter abgeleitet. Daraus geht hervor, dass Energiekosten aktuell den größten Kostenbestandteil des Systems darstellen. Gleichzeitig weisen sie auch die höchste Sensitivität auf und bieten somit ein hohes Potential zur Kostenreduzierung von Elektrobussystemen.

The high infectivity and mortality of novel coronavirus has caused a serious concern all over the world. Still, there is no specific drug or preventive medication to treat SARS-CoV-2 infection despite comprehensive analysis by the researchers. This study was designed to demonstrate the efficacy of some phyto-chemical compounds against SARS-CoV-2 by using both structure and ligand based virtual screening methods. A total of 33 plant metabolites were screened against SARS-CoV-2 main protease proteins (MPP), Nsp9 RNA binding protein, spike receptor binding domain and HR2 domain using a molecular docking approach. Results showed that three metabolites, i.e., Limonin, Isoflavone, and Coumadin conferred maximum binding affinity with all key proteins of SARS-CoV-2. For each viral protein, the critical binding sites and drug surface hotspots have been unraveled. ADME analysis indicated that none of the compounds have adverse effects that could decrease their drug-like properties. Moreover, toxicity pattern analysis also unmasked the non-toxic nature of the top drug candidates. The RMSD values of top ligandmacromolecule complexes were less than 2 Å, while RMSF values showed regular atomic fluctuations in the molecular dynamics study. Notably, most of the target class by top drug candidates belonged to enzyme groups (e.g. oxidoreductases, protease, Kinase). Results of drug similarity prediction revealed two approved structural analogs of Coumadin named Warfarin (DB00682) and Phenprocoumon (DB00946) from DrugBank. In addition, Isoformononetin an experimental drug analog of isoflavone could also be an option for the treatment of viral infections. For limonin there was no analog found in drugbank. The study can pave the way for the creation of effective SARS-CoV-2 medications and preventive measures. We highly recommend further in vivo trials for the experimental validation of our findings

Authors: Shunmugam Kumar Mangal C  , Abilasha R  , Vignesh Ravindran
Published: November 2020

Oral health & general health go hand in hand as one influences the other. The oral cavity can be called as the gateway to the body as it serves as an entry point to all forms of infection. To attain good oral health, one needs to have knowledge of dietary habits and oral hygiene practices.  ​. The extreme weather and hard labour conditions in the salt pans cause a lot of morbidities among the salt workers. These morbidities are aggravated if the salt workers do not protect themselves with personal protective measures. ​From the study, we can infer that the understanding of the mindset of daily wage workers can be key to providing them with dental treatment for their needs. ​The study aims to measure the knowledge and attitude about oral health maintenance and habits among salt pan workers in Tuticorin district.  This survey was carried out among salt pan workers in Tuticorin, Tamil Nadu to assess their awareness about common dental health problems and data was collected using a pre-designed questionnaire and samples were assigned using convenience sampling methods. Data were collected after obtaining informed consent and steps were taken to ensure confidentiality at all stages. A maximum of 10 people was asked to visit the clinic to take the survey. It was conducted over a period of 10 days. Both male & female workers were involved in the study. The data was collected and tabulated in an excel sheet. Then the raw data was later transferred to SPSS Software. Salt pan workers generally have dental problems, dermatological problems and musculoskeletal problems as the most common morbidities among them. This study showed that more than 50% of the salt pan workers in Tuticorin have good awareness towards oral health.
Optimierung von Gesprächen in der professionellen Telefonie
Authors: Pietschmann Judith
Published: November 2020

Telephone service conversations are a central component of social and economic communication practice. They are to a considerable extent pre-planned and standardized. In addition to the desired positive effects (uniformity, efficiency, customer orientation), established call standards lead to unwanted negative effects such as speaking-linguistic stereotypes, over-marking or automated call handling. These and other phenomena are the object of investigation in the research focus on professional telephony at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg. The author bundles and systematizes the past research work, extended by own investigations and illustrates exemplary approaches, concepts and concrete measures for optimization of conversations in telephone customer service. Judith Pietschmann completed her PhD at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg in 2017. As a lecturer in the Department of Speech Science and Phonetics, she teaches and researches in the main areas of oral communication in institutional contexts, qualitative and quantitative speech impact research, prosody in interaction and communicative promotion of competence in professional qualification.
Preservice Teacher Perceptions of Coding in Literacy Instruction
Authors: Frazier Denise K. , Trekles Anastasia M.
Published: November 2020

Coding is a language with many similarities to what is traditionally thought of as literacy. Preservice teachers are familiar with literacy instruction, but were not exposed to computer science during their K-12 education nor in their teacher education course work. Yet, they are responsible for preparing children for future careers, including the growing field of computer science, which should be integrated as early as possible into the general education curriculum to build awareness, interest, and ultimately, skills. In this study, preservice teachers in a K-6 reading interventions class were trained in Scratch and provided a template to use with children struggling in various aspects of literacy. This article examines how preservice teachers perceive the relationship between coding and literacy through the theoretical framework of gaming, and whether they would include coding in literacy instruction. Results indicate preservice teachers do not feel confident enough in their teaching abilities to feel comfortable integrating coding into literacy instruction. Lack of prior knowledge and time constraints contributed to those that chose not to participate. Success occurred as Scratch was found to be motivating and individualized when using self-selected pictures and voice to connect to the written word, supporting children’s literacy learning.
umbral cotidiano. El papel de las puertas en la construcción de la domesticidad contemporánea
Authors: De Molina Rodríguez Santiago
Published: November 2020

En un mundo hiperconectado donde el interior está permanentemente expuesto a miradas ajenas, la capacidad de las puertas para construir un límite está en entredicho. Nuestra relación con las puertas es amplia pero no tanto las principales teorías históricas que han tratado de buscar su esencia fenomenológica. Los estudios de Van Gennep, de Simmel o de Bachelard abordan aspectos complementarios sobre los umbrales y las puertas, pero no alcanzan a explicar aspectos como su papel en la formación de la habitación, el significado de su desgaste, o la importancia de su número en la configuración de la intimidad. Sin embargo existe en los umbrales de la propia casa de Alison y Peter Smithson, en el trabajo de Van Eyck, en la historia de la pintura y en algún tirador de puerta contemporáneo, imágenes óptimas desde las que abordar estas problemáticas. Una problemática que no se detiene solamente en la puerta que limita la casa sino que encuentra en la puerta entre habitaciones motivos para reivindicar el poder constitutivo de la propia estancia y de la intimidad.
¿Integración urbana o enclaves persistentes?
Authors: Ezquerra Isabel
Published: November 2020

Este trabajo se enmarca en una investigación más amplia sobre los polígonos de vivienda construidos entre los años cincuenta y setenta del siglo XX en España. En ellos, el perímetro resulta ser un elemento esencial, al haberse conformado como fragmentos unitarios determinados por una geometría bien definida. En este artículo, la intención es estudiar, desde la perspectiva del espacio urbano, cómo ha evolucionado el perímetro de esas piezas relativamente autónomas –actuaciones unitarias caracterizadas por la repetición de bloques aislados en ordenaciones abiertas sobre espacios libres–, en contacto con un tejido urbano bien distinto, el de las denominadas 'periferias ordinarias' –crecimientos graduales que adoptan sistemas tradicionales basados en calles y manzanas– que se configuraron en torno a ellos en el mismo periodo. El objetivo es estudiar las transformaciones que se han producido en el espacio perimetral de cuatro conjuntos de vivienda situados en Zaragoza, comparando, mediante análisis gráficos intencionados, la situación en el momento de su construcción con el estado actual. Partiendo de un marco teórico amplio, este análisis pretende poner en relación las diversas situaciones urbanas generadas durante estos más de cincuenta años con conceptos explorados por distintos autores, tales como límite, barrera, borde o sutura.  El resultado permite evaluar cómo, en algunos casos, la disolución del perímetro de dichos conjuntos de vivienda ha favorecido procesos de relativa integración urbana mientras que, en otros, su consolidación ha contribuido a que persista la condición inicial de enclave.

Huntington es un desorden neurodegenerativo raro en nuestra sociedad, que afecta el sistema nervioso central (SNC) y se caracteriza por demencia, disturbios psiquiátricos, de comportamiento y movimientos involuntarios (corea de Huntington). Afecta en su mayoría a los pacientes de piel blanca y la edad aproximada de inicio está entre los 30-50 años; sin embargo, pueden darse casos en los que inicie a los 20 años (enfermedad de Huntington juvenil). El síndrome de Huntington (SH) es una enfermedad hereditaria autosómica dominante, causada por una elongación repetida del CAG en el cromosoma 4, en el gen Huntingtine. Para su diagnóstico, nos basamos en los síntomas y signos clínicos y lo confirmamos con una determinación de ADN. El diagnóstico prenatal es posible mediante una amniocentesis. Debemos tener en cuenta que, aunque no existe cura para esta enfermedad, si existen tratamientos que mejoren la calidad de vida de los pacientes afec-tados. El objetivo de este estudio es consolidar las teorías actuales asociadas al SH. Esta revisión fue elaborada mediante un análisis minucioso de artículos informáticos indexados en fuentes de información médica: Pubmed, Medline, Pubmed Central; siendo un estudio documental bibliográfico. Es de vital importancia, tener un estudio referente a esta enfermedad, en el cual se pueda entender de una manera precisa la fisiopatología; para posteriormente, dar un buen tratamiento sin-tomatológico a los pacientes con SH
Productivity Analysis of Micro-Trenching Using Simphony Simulation Modeling
Authors: Vaseli Hediyeh , Hashemian Leila , Bayat Alireza
Published: November 2020

Micro-trenching is an innovative method for installing fiber optic cable in residential areas and business districts which minimizes surface scarring and potential negative social and environmental impacts. This method has three major steps including cutting a narrow trench in the pavement, cable installation and trench backfilling. This paper discusses a Simphony simulation model of the micro-trenching procedure and analyzes its productivity. Brief descriptions of the micro-trenching method and two field installations used to validate the model are included. A simulation model was developed for two different installation depths of 7.6 and 23 cm using two different methods. To provide an estimation of project duration, the impact of weather conditions on micro-trenching productivity was also considered. The developed model can be used for what if scenarios and for predicting the outcomes, which may be useful for studying the procedure and verifying if any productivity improvement can be achieved. The results indicate that the influence of installation depth is more significant than the impact of weather conditions. Reducing installation depth from 23 cm to 7.6 could improve productivity up to 50% while cold weather condition can reduce productivity by 18.8%. The simulation model demonstrates that the productivity can be improved up to 16% by overlapping two steps during the installation process: starting the cleaning procedure when a portion of cutting is completed. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2020-03091607 Full Text: PDF

Authors:   ABBYY Lab MIPT, Detkova J. , Novitskiy V. ,   ABBYY, Petrova M. ,   ABBYY, Selegey V. ,   ABBYY
Published: November 2020

The current paper suggests a new representation type of word collocations—the semantic sketches. It was first tested on one of the subcorpora of the General Internet-Corpus of Russian. The semantic sketches continue the idea of word sketches based on grammatical relations between words and expand it by adding the semantic information—word meanings and semantic relations between words. Moreover, the sketches can be additionally provided with metatextual characteristics. Certainly, building such sketches demands the semantic markup of the corpora. Therefore, we have used partial semantic analysis of the Compreno parser for our purposes. The paper demonstrates the examples of the sketches, provides the quality evaluation of the markup they are based on, and shows the advantages and disadvantages of the given approach.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WATER, POVERTY AND HEALTH EXPENDITURE: AN ANALYSIS
Authors: Sing Kro Mangal
Published: November 2020

Even though the human being cannot live without water it has the negative effect on human health too. Its effect depends on the quality of water which human beings drink. The contaminated water used by human beings may degrade human health with the help of some toxic substances, like, fluoride, arsenic, mercury, lead etc. The poor people are prone to suffer from these toxic substances although they, generally, cannot afford for the water of good quality for drinking and washing. Moreover, there is a lot of water-washed diseases, water based diseases, water born diseases etc. which affect human health. These diseases and toxic substances increase health expenditure of the people. Therefore, contaminated water forces the poor people to stay in the vicious circle of poverty if they use it. This paper will analyze water, poverty and health expenditure nexus.

Influence of Temperature and Relative Humidity on Air Pollution in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Authors: Fikeraddis Mulu , Endeshaw Lake
Published: November 2020

In this paper we access the effects of two atmospheric variables (temperature and relative humidity) on two important pollutants in the atmosphere (Nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon monoxide (CO)) by using one year (2016) data of Addis Ababa. Temperature has impact on atmospheric mixing and cause for the reduction of NOx as temperature increases. There are positive correlation between temperature and CO concentration from January to April with (R2 = 0.69), negative correlation from May to August with (R2 = 0.92) and no correlation for the remaining months. NOx and CO have moderate positive and negative correlation with relative humidity during the months January-April (R2 = 0.294 for NOx and R2 = 0291 for CO) and in the months May-August are R2 = 0.97 and R2 = 0.15 for NOx and CO respectively. But there are no clear correlation between the NOx and CO with relative humidity from September-December. NOx concentrations during wet season was almost about twice that of the dry season, but no such difference was observed in the case of CO. The seasonal average air temperature in wet season is relatively lower than dry season. NOx exhibited positive and CO negative seasonal correlations with relative humidity.

Published: November 2020

O presente trabalho pretende fazer uma abordagem sobre as políticas públicas educacionais Programa Universidade Para Todos - Prouni e o Fundo de Financiamento ao Estudante do Ensino Superior – FIES, que se mostram como mecanismos de democratização do acesso ao ensino superior. Assim com o objetivo de estudar de forma básica e conceitual o Fundo de Financiamento Estudantil – FIES, esse artigo foi elaborado através de pesquisa teórica, analisando o FIES e outras políticas públicas de financiamento educacional, como o Programa Universidade para Todos – PROUNI. O conteúdo disposto no artigo gera ainda uma reflexão sobre as políticas educacionais brasileiras que se mostram como instrumentos de acesso ao ensino superior e promovem a inserção de uma população economicamente menos favorecida a níveis mais elevados na camada socioeconômica.

Authors: De Meirelles Flávia Sanna Leal , Antonio Rabib Floriano
Published: November 2020

O presente artigo se propõe a analisar, de forma breve, a trajetória histórica da violência contra a mulher na legislação penal brasileira. Para tanto, além da pesquisa doutrinária sobre o tema, observou-se o texto legislativo das diversas leis penais que trataram sobre o assunto no Brasil ao longo de sua História. Verificou-se que, sendo uma categoria qualitativamente minoritária, a mulher foi objeto de tratamentos discriminatórios no texto legislativo brasileiro, sendo recente a positivação de seus direitos no texto de lei específica – a Lei Maria da Penha. É certo que a previsão legal não basta para solucionar o problema, sendo necessário que a consciência acerca da igualdade entre homens e mulheres penetre, de uma vez por todas, na cultura de toda a sociedade.

Authors: Nassar Marcos , Ribas Lídia Maria
Published: November 2020

O texto, que é um resultado da análise bibliográfica, jurisprudencial e dos números disponíveis, intenta demonstrar a necessidade de coletivização do controle judicial das políticas públicas relacionadas a direitos sociais, para viabilizar a aferição da reserva do possível à luz do princípio da igualdade (possibilidade de universalização do direito), com a prolação de decisões erga omnes, e ante outras características do processo coletivo: ampliação da discussão democrática por meio de audiências públicas e intervenção de amicus curiae, possibilidade de reflexão mais profunda e embasada sobre temas complexos, notadamente quanto à forma de execução da decisão e suas consequências.

Published: November 2020

Este artigo tem por objetivo fazer um levantamento do uso de inteligência artificial pelo Judiciário brasileiro de modo a identificar os tribunais em que a mesma já está implantada e as funções que realiza. Os portais institucionais e alguns sites especializados divulgam notícias esparsas sobre esta temática mas a necessidade de constante atualização dificulta a elaboração de estudos sistematizados. Esta pesquisa visa contribuir com algumas informações mais detalhadas sobre a realidade tecnológica de alguns órgãos judiciários do país e sobre o que se pode esperar para um futuro próximo neste campo. A metodologia consistiu em uma revisão bibliográfica de artigos que abordaram este assunto.
MEDIDAS PROTETIVAS ADOTADAS NO COMBATE À COVID-19
Authors: Friede Reis
Published: November 2020

Em janeiro de 2020 o mundo foi surpreendido com a circulação de um novo vírus que os cientistas denominam de zoonótico, ou seja, que pode ser transmitido de animais para seres humanos. Os primeiros casos declarados da Covid-19, doença provocada por esse novo vírus, ocorreram no final de 2019 e teve sua origem na província de Wuhan, China. O aumento exponencial dos casos levou a Organização Mundial da Saúde a declarar a situação como uma pandemia, levando os governos ao redor do mundo a tomar medidas protetivas para controlar a transmissão. Este ensaio propõe provocar uma reflexão acerca da situação geral da pandemia de Covid-19 no país e sobre determinadas medidas e posturas já adotadas pelo governo e sociedade no seu combate. A abordagem metodológica empregada foi a qualitativa, e partiu de uma pesquisa bibliográfica para o levantamento de artigos acadêmicos e documentos em geral que tratam do tema abordado.

Published: November 2020

O presente trabalho analisa as medidas tomadas pelo Estado brasileiro para a contenção dos danos sofridos por grupos em vulnerabilidade social diante da epidemia causada pelo coronavírus, também conhecido como COVID-19. Verifica-se, por meio do levantamento de dados epidemiológicos, organizados por critérioscronológicos e sociais, a possibilidade de comparação dos impactos causados pela pandemia e das manifestações presidenciais e medidas administrativas. Neste sentido, mediante a identificação dos grupos sociais tidos como vulneráveis e de seus direitos e necessidades de proteções específicas, analisar-se-á os atos realizados pelo Estado, assim como sua postura, na busca da proteção destes grupos em vulnerabilidade. A pesquisa e elaboração do tema teve por base o método de estudo documental, por meio da identificação de legislação, doutrinas e jurisprudências, bem como do levantamento de dados de pesquisas relacionadas à pandemia. Assim, considerada a atual situação brasileira e mundial de enfrentamento ao COVID-19, pretende-se esclarecer se a atuação do Estado brasileiro na proteção dos grupos vulneráveis correspondeu aos deveres e diretrizes existentes, assim como se atenderam a necessidade desta população.

A DIFICULDADE DO ACESSO À SA´ÚDE PELO GRUPO LGBTI NO BRASIL DURANTE A PANDEMIA: uma análise à luz da teoria da eficácia horizontal dos direitos humanos
Authors: Ghetti Beatriz Pristilo , Bahdur Daniela Hruschka
Published: November 2020

O presente estudo tem como objetivo discorrer sobre a dificuldade enfrentada pela população LGBTI no Brasil no que tange ao acesso à saúde. Trata-se aqui de um direito social já de segunda dimensão dos Direitos Humanos, incorporado pela Constituição brasileira. Contudo, observa-se uma marginalização maior desse grupo, visto que a pandemia da Covid-19 acarretou prejuízos à saúde mental e maior dificuldade de acesso aos locais de atendimento. Dessa forma, o estudo busca a compreensão das violações cometidas a esse grupo no país, resultantes de um longo processo de discriminação; além de apontar um possível passo na resolução do problema com base na teoria da eficácia horizontal dos Direitos Humanos.
Landscape Signature as an Integrative View of Landscape Metrics: A Case Study in Brazil-French Guiana Border
Authors: Silva Romero Gomes Pereira , Zagallo Sofia Araújo , Laques Anne-Elisabeth , Saito Carlos Hiroo
Published: November 2020

The present work presents an integrated view of landscape analysis through the construction of a signature system for the analysis of landscape types. These signatures were based on metrics that informed different patterns for each landscape type, which allowed the behavior of the landscape to be visually analyzed. The signature system was applied through a landscape classification developed through fieldwork to gather data on socioenvironmental categories combined with remote sensing data. The study site was the border region between Brazil and French Guiana. The results of this work showed that in situ landscape classification techniques can be supported by the analysis of quantitative metrics of landscape analysis, reinforcing the need for integrative and systemic studies in landscape geography.
Planejamento sucessório, governança corporativa e inovação, uma investigação em empresas familiares
Authors: Ortega Vera Lucia Robles
Published: November 2020

Este estudo teve como objetivo investigar o planejamento sucessório, a governança corporativa e a inovação em empresas familiares com idade de 30 anos ou mais. Uma inquietude da autora encontrava-se nas razões que levam as empresas familiares alcançarem estatísticas tão acentuadas de mortalidade quando atravessam os períodos de sucessão familiar. A partir das literaturas especializadas referente ao tema, muitos fatores são enumerados e nos levam ao modelo dos três círculos de Gersick (1993), que descreve o sistema da empresa familiar como três subsistemas independentes, mas sobrepostos – gestão, propriedade e família – e quando afirma que a sucessão não é uma situação, mas várias, sendo possível ir além, retomando as variáveis de tempo, processo e preparação. Assim, o resultado da pesquisa realizada espelha que quanto maior longevidade um empreendimento familiar possui, mais presente estão as boas práticas de governança corporativa, mitigando conflitos inerentes aos processos sucessórios, quando se fala em propriedade e gestão. 78,6% das empresas familiares, ou seja, 44 organizações pesquisadas entendem a importância do planejamento do processo de sucessão e o efetivo processo de sucessão. A governança corporativa incorpora-se na pesquisa pela capacidade de implementar mecanismos para orientar e conduzir o processo de sucessão, contribuindo para o equilíbrio e a perpetuação dos negócios da família. Rossetti e Andrade (2014) afirmam que uma das mais importantes dimensões da governança corporativa são os valores que lhe dão sustentação, amarrando concepções, práticas e processos de alta gestão. Da pesquisa, 46 empresas familiares encontram-se em estágio semidesenvolvido e desenvolvido de governança corporativa. Por fim, entendendo que para a longevidade das empresas é requerido inovação, foi adicionado o estudo da ambidestralidade apresentada por March (1991) e, a partir dessa investigação, verifica-se que em 83,9% são empresas ambidestras, ou seja, com ações de inovação incremental ou radical.
