Towards the Uberisation of Legal Practice
Authors: Thornton Margaret
Published: November 2019

Uber and Airbnb signify new ways of working and doing business by facilitating direct access to providers through new digitalised platforms. The gig economy is also beginning to percolate into legal practice through what is colloquially known as NewLaw. Eschewing plush offices, permanent staff and the rigidity of time billing, NewLaw offers cheaper services to clients in order to compete more effectively with traditional law firms. For individual lawyers, autonomy, flexibility, a balanced life, wellbeing and even happiness are claimed to be the benefits. The downside appears to be that NewLaw favours senior and experienced lawyers while disproportionately impacting  on recent graduates. This article draws on interviews with lawyers in Australian and English NewLaw firms in order to evaluate the pros and cons of NewLaw.
Digitalización, robotización, trabajo y vida: cartografías, debates y prácticas
Authors: Lahera Sánchez Arturo
Published: November 2019

Como introducción al monográfico de este número, este artículo rastrea el ‘estado del arte’ de los debates sobre los efectos de los procesos de digitalización y robotización en el futuro del trabajo y del empleo. Revisa críticamente dos enfoques dominantes sobre si se va a producir un futuro desempleo tecnológico masivo o si, por el contrario, se producirá nuevamente un desplazamiento de la fuerza de trabajo a nuevos empleos con tareas y cualificaciones digitales, con ganadores y perdedores de la digitalización. Un primer enfoque es denominado digitalización de sustitución, que plantea la inevitabilidad de un masivo desempleo tecnológico por las disrupciones laborales de las nuevas tecnologías digitales (e Industria 4.0), que acabarán con múltiples ocupaciones y sus empleos que serán automatizados. Un segundo enfoque alternativo será denominado como digitalización de tareas, centrado en plantear que la digitalización no elimina ocupaciones completas sino tareas específicas de los puestos de trabajo, potenciando la eliminación de algunos empleos y la creación de nuevos puestos de trabajo que permitirán el incremento del empleo global. Se enfatizará que ambas perspectivas coinciden en la aparición de perdedores y ganadores de la digitalización, con la necesidad de intervenir en los sistemas de formación y reciclaje del factor humano. Por último, se planteará una estrategia de diseño tecnológico de digitalización de integración, basado en plantear la industria 4.0 como una oportunidad para reforzar el uso colaborativo de las nuevas tecnologías digitales con la recualificación del factor humano.
Cadenas de suministro, Derechos Humanos, Empresas Transnacionales e industria textil: de los AMI a un Instrumento Internacional Jurídicamente Vinculante
Authors: Guamán Adoración , Luque González Arturo
Published: November 2019

El texto parte de la necesidad de elaborar normas vinculantes a nivel internacional sobre empresas transnacionales y derechos humanos con la finalidad de poner fin a la impunidad de la que gozan cuando, directamente o a lo largo de los distintos eslabones de su cadena de suministro, provocan violaciones de estos derechos, así como asegurar la reparación de las víctimas y posibles secuelas. Existen distintas iniciativas en el plano internacional, tanto en el ámbito de Naciones Unidas (Principios Rectores) como en el ámbito de las propias corporaciones y sus relaciones con los sindicatos (Acuerdos Marco Internacionales), orientadas a impulsar a las empresas transnacionales hacia comportamientos respetuosos con los derechos mencionados. Sin embargo, y esta es la tesis fundamental del artículo, estas iniciativas continúan siendo insuficientes, ya sea por su falta de obligatoriedad ya sea por su carácter parcial y dependiente de la voluntariedad de estos actores económicos transnacionales. Por añadidura, la relación entre ambos conjuntos normativos, Principios Rectores y Acuerdos Marco, presenta problemas que un futuro Instrumento Jurídicamente Vinculante sobre Empresas Transnacionales y Derechos Humanos debería solventar. Al estudio de esta cuestión se dirige el objetivo fundamental de este artículo.
Using Water Footprint Approaches to Estimate Water Demand in the Lake Naivasha Basin, Kenya
Authors: Ndege Tom Mongare
Published: November 2019

The purpose of this paper is to estimate water demand for households in Lake Naivasha basin. This is important because water demand is increasingly significant to the policy of choice for achieving sustainable water management. Realization of sustainable water use is urgent in Lake |Naivasha water basin not only because of the unstable water volumes in the Lake which have wider wellbeing effects but also because of changing land use strategies that depend on higher water abstraction. Following Mokennen,et al., (2012) this study uses a water footprint approach to estimate the responsiveness of water use choices to changes in prices and income. Data is collected using questionnaires distributed to 418 residents in the lake basin. In this paper a double log water demand function is used to estimate household water demand. This approach has the advantage of providing paramters that are easily comparable with previous studies. The paper is, however, innovative in its application of estimated “total water abstraction” using water footprint approaches. An estimated water demand elasticity of 0.347 is only significant at p=0.01 suggesting a weak but significant impact of water cost on water abstraction choices. These results suggest the potential of applying price/fiscal instruments to enhance sustainable water abstraction within a water stress ecosystem.
The relationship of Intellectual capital, innovation and organizational performance: a preliminary study in Malaysian SMEs
Authors: Ngah Rohana , Ibrahim Abdul Razak
Published: November 2019

This study seeks to examine the relationship of entrepreneurial orientation, age, experience and education of an entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial business venture decision (EBV). Higher institutions, government agencies and private corporations have setting up programmes, trainings, seminars, events and funds in producing dynamic entrepreneurs. Start-up business is the most challenging beginning for business as the failure rate remains high over time. Few researches have been done on entrepreneurial orientation but on established firms. Beside, education and experience play important role towards entrepreneurs’ alertness that will determine the successful opportunity recognition. This study is looking in depth the entrepreneurial orientation (proactiveness, risk-taking and innovativeness) of young entrepreneurs that influence their entrepreneur business venture start-up. Quantitative method is adopted and questionnaire is distributed using simple random sampling among young entrepreneurs. The findings of this study would help identifying the key elements of entrepreneurial orientation that suit the entrepreneur’s background, age, experience and education. Thus, a new approach could be developed to enhance the motivation for new start-up venture.
The Relationship between Knowledge Management and Trust: Malaysian Perspective
Authors: Ngah Rohana , Hoo Chua Hock , Ibrahim Abdul Razak
Published: November 2019

In delivering a professional service to its clients, knowledge is an auditing firm’s core capital. In conducting its practice and business, an auditing firm not only captures knowledge within its organization from among its own people but also from its clients to whom it has a responsibility and duty to protect. The nature of auditing firms somehow controls the flow of knowledge in the firms. Knowledge management is crucial, especially for knowledge-intensive firms that utilize and capitalize knowledge in all their transactions. The challenges are to highlight the knowledge management factors in auditing firms and how much knowledge management contributes to their organizational effectiveness. This empirical study reveals that knowledge dissemination, knowledge storing and knowledge protection are more prominent in this type of industry. In addition, trust plays a very crucial role in knowledge flow. Knowledge dissemination was found to be a main contributor towards organizational effectiveness and trust prevails as an important factor in knowledge management applications in the industry.
Knowledge Management In Multi-party IS development Teams —A Case Study AT Fudan University
Authors: Song Liang , Zhang Chenghong , Wang Yantao , Lin Limin
Published: November 2019

This paper describes how a unique type of information system development team, deploying a computer-mediated collaborative technology, developed a highly complex information system .The uniqueness of the team ----what we call MISD teams, for Multi-party Information System Development teams---stemmed from the fact that it was inter-organizational and had to be engaged in knowledge management among five parties with a highly complicated task for information system development. Existing research on knowledge management does not fully address the challenges of such MISD teams. Using the case of Fudan University, We described the behaviour of parties of a MISD team to derive implications for knowledge management, especially for studying teams within emerging contexts such as the one we observed. The data we collected also allowed us to identify successful managerial practices and develop recommendations for managers responsible for such teams.
Understanding the Mediating Effect of Cognitive and Emotional satisfaction on Customer Loyalty
Authors: Omar Maznah Wan
Published: November 2019

ABSTRACT Loyal customers are among the greatest revenue producer and are more likely to occur in a form of word-of-mouth. In the compound and vibrant Malaysian home computer retail market today, customer loyalty through word-of-mouth marketing tends to occur very slowly and is limited geographically but is a very potent method of marketing.The influence of cognitive and emotional satisfaction on the relationship between salesperson presentation skills and customer’s loyalty through intention to promote by word-of-mouth is vital. This will then lead to increased benefits for the organization in the form of customer loyalty. The cognitive evaluation of customer satisfaction was found to explain customer loyalty in a retail setting more than the emotional reaction. This finding holds importance to those retailers who have been able to generate high expectations in the eyes of their customers.

Authors: Santos Fabio Seiji dos , Dias Alexandre Menezes , Ítavo Luís Carlos Vinhas , Cecato Ulysses , Faccenda Andressa , Zambom Maximiliane Alavarse , Santos Geraldo Tadeu dos
Published: November 2019

This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional value of legumes leucaena and desmodium preserved in hay and silage form. We used a completely randomized design in a 2x2 factorial arrangement with two bulky conservation methods (hay and silage) and two legumes (leucaena and desmodium). For the bulky characterization was determined chemical composition and total digestible nutrients (TDN). For assessing the nutritional value, analysis of in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) and cell wall digestibility (IVCWD), and in situ effective degradability of dry matter (EDDM) and crude protein (EDCP) were performed. Data were submitted to ANOVA and Tukey test at 5% probability. Due to the characteristics of each specie leucaena presented a higher crude protein (CP) and TDN content compared to desmodium and lower fibrous fractions. The IVDMD presented interaction between the conservation form and forage (P<0.05), where leucaena hay was higher than the others treatments. The IVCWD also presented interaction (P<0.05), and the best values were obtained for leucaena silage. EDDM was superior in leucaena compared to desmodium (P<0.05). Regarding the method of preservation, the EDDM was higher in hay compared to silage. For the EDCP there was an interaction between conservation method and forage, where leucaena silage and hay were similar (P<0.05), but higher than other treatments. Thus, leucaena has a nutritional value higher than desmodium and the conservation of legumes in the hay form presented a higher nutritional value to the conserved as silage.
As Good as It Gets? “Optimal” Marginality in theLongue Duréeof the Mediterranean Islands
Authors: Dawson Helen
Published: November 2019

The small islands of the Mediterranean are generally considered to be marginal spaces, located on the periphery of mainstream processes occurring on the mainland. While we might acknowledge such marginality in terms of limited productivity, islands can also become critical nodes in networks of interaction, often owing to their location along maritime routes and/or desirable resources. This is evident during the Bronze Age, when extensive travel across the Mediterranean is first documented, and in historical times, when the islands were tied into market economies. Focusing on the Aeolian Islands and drawing on parallels both from the Mediterranean and Pacific islands, this article will explore how islanders experienced alternating periods of relative centrality and marginality, their possible reasons and effects, over the longue durée. The article calls for a reconceptualization of marginality, focusing on an island's in-betweenness rather than isolation. Thanks to their “optimal marginality,” islands become productive and innovative spaces.

Nejapa: arquitectura en un poblado Prehispánico al suroeste de Managua
Authors: Lechado R. Leonardo
Published: November 2019

El presente documento refiere una síntesis de seis años de estudios arqueológicos desarrollados en la comarca Nejapa, municipio de Managua, Nicaragua. La sistematicidad de los estudios permitió comprender cómo se estructuró los espacios y el sistema constructivo de las casas que conforman los restos de un pequeño poblado prehispánico que se asentó a orillas de la Laguna de Nejapa, el que culturalmente se vincula con grupos Chorotegas. Entre otras cosas, se obtuvo nuevos y sustanciales datos para comprender de mejor manera la forma de vida desarrollada por los habitantes que ocuparon este espacio en épocas anteriores a la llegada de los colonizadores europeos al actual territorio nacional. En el poblado prehispánico de Nejapa se han logrado identificar trece posibles casas, alrededor de una pequeña plaza central, construidas a base de piedras y tierra. Se han intervenido, mediante excavaciones arqueológicas en extensión, únicamente dos de esas estructuras, lo que ha permitido conocer cómo las construyeron y corroborar algunos datos que se encuentran plasmados en documentos históricos de viajeros y cronistas al momento de la conquista de nuestra América.
Interculturalidad y los senderos de la paz en la universidad
Authors: Andino Elvira Maritza
Published: November 2019

El estudio de la cultura de paz en los contextos universitarios debe ser analizados desde un enfoque de interculturalidad. El objetivo de este texto es presentar al lector una reflexión de la cultura de paz como una categoría más profunda, más allá de una idea de la ausencia del conflicto, es la puesta en valor en escenarios de conflictos. Los conflictos son parte de las relaciones humanas, ante ello se debe pensar que la cultura de paz va más allá de creer que no existe relaciones diferenciadas, sino que debe comprenderse como un medio de resolución de momentos de rupturas. Este manuscrito se ha constituido a partir de la experiencia en la docencia por más de 30 años en la Educación Superior, contraponiendo las reflexiones contextuales a los planteamientos teóricos, que fundamentan la expresión y construcción del conocimiento presentados.
Dinámicas Eco protectora: Sanación y Apache en Nandayuri como sistema de buen vivir
Authors: Rossetti Tiziana
Published: November 2019

El presente artículo reflexiona sobre los conceptos de protagonismo comunitario, dinámicas Eco protectora, Sanación y Apache, investigadas en la Comarca Nandayuri que es parte del territorio del Pueblo Indígena de Monimbó. Como ámbito de estudio, se ha elegido el comunitario indígena, porque el propósito es demostrar que el buen vivir es un modelo de vida y de practica todavía existente en muchas de las culturas indígenas de Nicaragua, así como de América Latina, aunque llamado en diferente manera o simplemente practicado y no conceptualizado. Escuchando la voz de sus habitantes, se intenta interpretar la concepción de vida deseable en Nandayuri, registrado los conocimientos y las prácticas sobre sus recursos biológicos y culturales (patrimonio biocultural), valores y saberes, que en su mayoría están transmitidos y basados en la tradición oral y por lo tanto están en riesgo de perderse y desaparecer.
Research Synthesis of Meta-Analyses of Preservice Teacher Preparation Practices in Higher Education
Authors: Dunst Carl J. , Hamby Deborah W. , Howse Robin B. , Wilkie Helen , Annas Kimberly
Published: November 2019

Findings from a meta-analysis of meta-analyses of 14 different types of preservice student and beginning teacher preparation practices are described. The research synthesis included 118 meta-analyses and 12 other research studies of preservice practices-preservice student and beginning teacher outcomes. The research reports included between 5000 and 6000 studies and an estimated 2.5 to 3 million study participants. The outcomes included two different teacher quality measures and two different preservice student and beginning teacher measures. Mean difference effect sizes, confidence intervals for the average effect sizes, and generalized patterns of results were used to identify very high impact, high impact, medium impact, low impact, and no impact preservice practices. Results showed that clinically rich field experiences (extended and limited student teaching), learning experiences that included multiple opportunities for deliberate practice, faculty and school-based coaching, clinical supervision and performance feedback, different types of experiences and opportunities to learn to teach, course-based experiential learning experiences, and cooperative learning opportunities stood out as especially important practices that were related to optimal preservice and beginning teacher outcomes. The patterns of results are consistent with a practice-based approach to teacher preparation where the focus of preservice and beginning teacher education is the learning experiences and opportunities to learn and use optimal effective teaching practices.
A Cutting Edge Method in Chinese Piano Education: the Xindi Applied Piano Pedagogy
Authors: Guo Wei , Cosaitis Leonard John
Published: November 2019

The Xindi Applied Piano Pedagogy (XAPP) was self-formulated by Professor Xindi, the Dean of the Music Education Institute of Xinghai Conservatory of Music (MEIXHCM), in 2001. After a series of scaffolding developments over a decade, the single instrumental teaching method is now developing into a holistic music educational system for the preparation of graduate music teachers at both primary and secondary levels. In addition, this particular pedagogy seems to have created a competitive force in the market of community music education in mainland China. This article explores the XAPP in a narrative manner whilst investigating the advantages it has over three classical repertoire-oriented piano methods in mainland China in the modern era.
Prediction optimization of mechanical
properties of ferrite stainless steels after
forging treatment with use of genetic
algorithms
Authors: Honysz R.
Published: November 2019

Purpose: The paper describes the use of artificial neural networks to research and predict
the effect of chemical components and thermal treatment conditions on stainless steel's
mechanical characteristics optimized by genetic algorithm.
Design/methodology/approach: The quantity of input variables of artificial neural
networks has been optimized using genetic algorithms to enhance the prediction quality of
artificial neural network and to enhance their efficiency. Then a computational model was
trained and evaluated with optimized artificial neural networks.
Findings: Optimization, with the exception of tensile strength, has enabled the creation of
artificial neural networks, which either showed a better or similar performance from base
networks, as well as a decreased amount of input variables As a consequence, noise data
is decreased in the computational model built with the use of these networks.
Research limitations/implications: Data analysis was required to confirm the relevance of
obtaining information used for modelling to use in training procedures for artificial neural networks.
Practical implications: Using artificial intelligence enables the multi-faceted growth of
stainless steel engineering, even though there is only a relatively small amount of descriptors. Built
and optimized computational model building using optimized artificial neural networks enables
prediction of mechanical characteristics after normalization of forged ferritic stainless steels.
Originality/value: In order to decrease production expenses of products, an introduced
model can be obtained in manufacturing industry. It can also simplify the selection of
materials if the engineer has to correctly choose chemical elements and appropriate plastics
and/or heat processing of stainless steels, having the necessary mechanical characteristics.
Modelling and forecasting the workplace
environmental physical factors values
Authors: Kruzhilko O. , Cherneha R. , Maystrenko V. , Polukarov O. , Kalinchyk V.
Published: November 2019

Purpose: To develop a mathematical model for predicting the workplace environmental
physical factors values.
Design/methodology/approach: Experimental measurements of the harmful and
dangerous physical factors values of workplace environmental were carried out using
special certified equipments. For each physical factor, 200 measurements were carried out.
The workplace choice is justified by the employees’ survey and specialists’ expert evaluation
results. Prediction methods that can be used to predict the workplace environmental
physical factors values have been analyzed analytically. Working conditions assessment
was carried out in accordance with the classification of working conditions for workplace
harmfulness and danger, which function in Ukraine.
Findings: For a preliminary assessment of the impact of environmental physical factors on
workers, it is proposed to use the strict ranking method. It has been established that the
proposed mathematical models for predicting the workplace environmental physical factors
values (noise, dust, vibration, relative humidity) have an accuracy of more than 90% and can
be used for planning measures to working conditions improve.
Research limitations/implications: The results of a study of modelling and forecasting
the workplace environmental physical factors values at the enterprise for the manufacture
of glass and glass products at workplaces of transportation, preparation and mixing of
materials are shown. Mathematical models for four physical factors are presented: noise,
dustiness of air, vibration, relative humidity.
Practical implications: Mathematical models make it possible to predict the environmental
physical factors values (noise, vibration, dust, humidity) taking into account the specifics of
the production process, assess the hazard class and harmfulness of working conditions at
workplaces and justify the measures at labour protection.
Originality/value: For the first time proposed by the mathematical models for predict the
environmental physical factors values (noise, vibration, dust, humidity) taking into account
the specifics of the production process.

Der arbeitsrechtliche Schutz der Crowdworker
Authors: Walzer Susanne
Published: November 2019

The work organisation model of crowdwork almost paradigmatically stands for "work 4.0". Networking and digitalisation accelerate the already-existing tendency towards an "escape from the restrictions of German employment law", away from hierarchy and back to the market. The thesis addresses the disruptive dimension of this development and asks for adequate protection for crowdworkers.

The protection of crowdworkers is examined on the basis of the leading German crowdwork platforms. As a first step, the thesis provides an overview of the fundamentals, as well as the factual and legal framework of crowdwork. Subsequently, it assesses the general terms and conditions of the platforms examined on the basis of general civil and commercial law. The core elements of the thesis are the analysis of the status quo of employment law protection de lege lata, as well as the examination whether and to what extent the legal protection for this form of employment can and must be extended de lege ferenda.
Öffentliches Produktionsvermögen und öffentliche Wirtschaftspolitik in der Bundesrepublik bis in die 1970er Jahre
Authors: Ambrosius Gerold
Published: November 2019

This study examines a time period when economic policy at municipal and state level systematically made use of public enterprises. It not only sheds light on the political positions of parties and associations with regard to regulation and the discussions about privatisation, but also analyses the instrumentalisation of municipal and state-owned enterprises in terms of business cycle policy and structural policy. In doing so, it discusses the respective theoretical and political arguments as well as the use of the enterprises ‘in practice’. The various privatisation campaigns conducted pursed regulatory, fiscal and property-related goals. As far as business cycle policy was concerned, emphasis was placed on pricing, investment and financial policies. In terms of structural policy, regional and sectoral policy goals were pursued. Lastly, the study analyses the political influence and political control of public enterprises.
Person - Selbsthilfe - Genossenschaft - Sozialversicherung - Neo-Korporatismus - Staat
Authors: Schulz-Nieswandt Frank
Published: November 2019

The German healthcare system is organised as an order of collective self-governance in the tradition of neo-corporatism. Part of this, modern mutualism, which is defined as free association, may be on the transformative pathway to erosion. This can be explained, for example, using the new developments in the health-related self-help movement between the logic of colonising neo-corporatism versus regional promotion of social capital in the context of local caring communities. ‘Free association versus the rule of the state and of public law bodies’? This archetypical tension in the history of law and culture dominates this study. It analyses transformations of reciprocal self-help phenomena from a morphological point of view, and this analysis is embedded in the analytical framework of an anthropologically sound sociology of elementary forms of social welfare production and their institutional derivations in historical and cultural comparison.
Signs of the Merciful
Authors: Müller Mathias ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: November 2019

This article explores how battlefield miracles were experienced, explained, and debated in jihadist literature in the period between 1982–2002. Competing with the secular histories written by foreign journalists, diplomats, and communists, the study argues that the influential jihadist scholar ’Abdullah ‘Azzam (d. 1989) endeavored to write an alternate sacred history of the Soviet-Afghan War (1979–1989), the course of which was determined neither by military prowess or luck, but by the miracles granted by God. Perusing more than three hundred miracle stories compiled by ’Azzam, the article demonstrates that the wonderworking mujahidin were indebted to a longstanding and complex tradition that determined the varieties of miracles experienced in Afghanistan. Moreover, the mujahidin’s own miracle stories shed light on when and how miracles paralleled or diverged from past tradition while raising important questions about the threshold of the supernatural, the mujahidin’s spiritual rank, and their abilities to encounter miracles. However, both mujahidin and the general public occasionally doubted whether miracles had really occurred, and so the article attempts to replay the discussions that surrounded ‘Azzam’s miracle stories, paying attention to how they were published, circulated, and received in the Muslim world. In conclusion, the article remarks on how ‘Azzam’s writings have influenced the development of miracle stories in later jihadist literature by looking specifically at al-Qa’ida’s portrayal of 9/11.

Tecnologias Produtivas, Design e Pesquisa Participativa - Estudo de Caso do Artesanato de Cipó Imbé em Garuva, SC: Dados e Indicadores de Produção
Authors: Ladik Antunes Douglas
Published: November 2019

Garuva, município da região Nordeste de Santa Catarina, tem como uma das principais atividades econômicas locais o artesanato em fibras naturais. Entre as fibras mais utilizadas na região, destaca-se o cipó imbé, que é extraído da Mata Atlântica e seu artesanato é comercializado por intermediários em diversos estados do Brasil. Em pesquisas realizadas no município, através de instituições como a Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina – UDESC e a Empresa de Pesquisa Agropecuária e Extensão Rural S.A. – EPAGRI, foram identificadas e diagnosticadas diversas demandas relacionadas à cadeia produtiva do artesanato, principalmente nas etapas de extração, beneficiamento e projeto de produtos e comercialização. Neste sentido a presente pesquisa tem como tema central a investigação sobre o desenvolvimento participativo de novas tecnologias sociais de produção nas comunidades de Palmital e Mina Velha, ambas em Garuva. Pretende-se assim, avaliar o processo metodológico participativo das ações de design de novas tecnologias. Neste breve relato, são apresentadas as análises de dados obtidos mediante o acompanhamento de produção artesanal e seu cruzamento com os dados coletados no pré-cadastramento realizado no município.

Tais dados mostram-se fundamentais no estabelecimento de estratégias metodológicas para a solução dos problemas.
Tecnologias Produtivas, Design e Pesquisa Participativa: Estudo de Caso do Artesanato de Cipó Imbé em Garuva - SC
Authors: De Bonis Almeida Simões Mauro
Published: November 2019

O município de Garuva, situado no extremo norte do Estado de Santa Catarina, destaca-se pelo expressivo número de pessoas envolvidas na produção artesanal de fibras naturais. Uma destas fibras é o Cipó Imbé (Philodendron sp. - ARACEAE), extraído da Mata Atlântica e manufaturado pelos de artesãos de comunidades locais. Através do Planejamento Estratégico Participativo - PEP, realizado pela EPAGRI3, identificou-se esta atividade artesanal como uma das principais da economia do município, e a partir daí foi realizada uma pesquisa in loco, sob a forma de um trabalho de conclusão de curso (TCC), que apontou diversas demandas relacionadas ao ciclo produtivo do artesanato e ao design desses produtos. Dentre estas, lista-se a necessidade de reformulação dos processos desta cadeia produtiva, principalmente as etapas de beneficiamento da fibra e o aprimoramento dos mesmos. Assim, o presente projeto de pesquisa formulou como objetivo central a investigação de conceitos e práticas adequadas, mediante o uso de metodologias de pesquisa participativa consagradas, a melhoria das tecnologias produtivas e os respectivos produtos artesanais de cipó Imbé na comunidade de Palmital. Este projeto de pesquisa é apoiado pelo Governo de Santa Catarina (Projeto Microbacias 2 / EPAGRI), pois é um dos dez “Projetos Faróis” de experimentação de pesquisas participativas em curso no Estado, diretamente relacionado à pesquisa e aprimoramento de produtos e tecnologias baseadas no saber local e conhecimentos técnicos e científicos.

Memória, Sociedade Florianopolitana e Elegância
Authors: Sant’Anna Mara Rúbia , Consoni Paula
Published: November 2019

Como a dinâmica do colunismo social possibilitou não somente a visibilidade da elite como consolidou formas de parecer que construíram a subjetividade feminina. Explorou-se a eleição das “Dez mais elegantes” pelo cronista Zury Machado, nas décadas de 50 a 70. A partir de sua memória, de duas eleitas e duas mulheres que conviviam no mesmo espaço social, buscou-se os sentidos do ser elegante, interpretando que o mesmo confundia-se com uma aparência desejada.

The Media Snatcher
Authors: Therrien Carl
Published: November 2019

An in-depth exploration of a neglected video game platform of the 1990s and a reflection on the way we construct the cultural history of video games.

In The Media Snatcher, Carl Therrien offers an in-depth exploration of NEC's PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16, a little-studied video game platform released in the late 1980s. The PC Engine was designed to bring technological expandability to the world of game consoles; The Media Snatcher's subtitle evokes some of the expansions and the numerous rebranded versions of the system released by NEC, including the first CD-ROM add-on in video game history. The platform makers hoped that expandability would allow its console to remain at the cutting edge and even catch up with such perceptually rich media as cinema and anime. More than a simple shape-shifter, the PC Engine became a media snatcher.

Therrien examines the multidirectional interactions of video game technologies, commercial structures, and cultural dynamics. He considers, among other things, hyperbolic marketing and its impact on how we construct video game history; glitches, technological obsolescence, and the difficulty of conducting media archaeology of the recent past; the emergence of male-centered power fantasies through audiovisual rewards; the rise of original genres such as visual novels; and the sustained efforts to integrate PC Engine software in the sprawling media landscape of Japan (where the PC Engine found much of its success). Avoiding the usual techno-industrial glorification, Therrien recounts the bold technological aspirations of the platform makers and the struggles to make the actual technology realize its potential.
Good Entertainment
Authors: Han Byung-Chul
Published: November 2019

A philosopher considers entertainment, in all its totalizing variety—infotainment, edutainment, servotainment—and traces the notion through Kant, Zen Buddhism, Heidegger, Kafka, and Rauschenberg.

In Good Entertainment, Byung-Chul Han examines the notion of entertainment—its contemporary ubiquity, and its philosophical genealogy. Entertainment today, in all its totalizing variety, has an apparently infinite capacity for incorporation: infotainment, edutainment, servotainment, confrontainment. Entertainment is held up as a new paradigm, even a new credo for being—and yet, in the West, it has had inescapably negative connotations. Han traces Western ideas of entertainment, considering, among other things, the scandal that arose from the first performance of Bach's Saint Matthew's Passion (deemed too beautiful, not serious enough); Kant's idea of morality as duty and the entertainment value of moralistic literature; Heidegger's idea of the thinker as a man of pain; Kafka's hunger artist and the art of negativity, which takes pleasure in annihilation; and Robert Rauschenberg's refusal of the transcendent.

The history of the West, Han tells us, is a passion narrative, and passion appears as a killjoy. Achievement is the new formula for passion, and play is subordinated to production, gamified. And yet, he argues, at their core, passion and entertainment are not entirely different. The pure meaninglessness of entertainment is adjacent to the pure meaning of passion. The fool's smile resembles the pain-racked visage of Homo doloris. In Good Entertainment, Han explores this paradox.
