Un complejo salvaje. Persistencias del espacio público en la era de las redes sociales
Authors: Fernández Mariano
Published: July 2018

Si las redes sociales han transformado el espacio pú­blico, no lo han hecho desordenando y fragmentando. Precisamente, esos rasgos ya caracterizaban al fun­cionamiento de lo público antes de que Facebook y Twitter reconfiguraran la socialidad pública y ciertas prácticas de socialización política, como el consumo de información. Este artículo pretende reflexionar sobre la dialéctica entre lo que permanece y lo que se modifica en el espacio público contemporáneo a partir de la consolidación de las plataformas digitales. Para eso, se plantean dos dimensiones de análisis (la ontológica y la sociológica) y se contrastan ciertas caracterizaciones actuales con algunos rasgos prominentes del espacio público ya descriptos antes de la era de la sociabilidad tecnológicamente codificada.
#TinelliMercenarioK. La mediatización del Presidente argentino y los trolls macristas
Authors: Slimovich Ana
Published: July 2018

Los medios masivos de comunicación y los que poseen base en Internet constituyen el espacio de la política con­temporánea. El objetivo de este trabajo es indagar en la producción de sentido y en la circulación del conflicto desencadenado entre el Presidente argentino Mauricio Macri y el conductor televisivo Marcelo Tinelli en 2016. Esta disputa, que alcanzó las redes sociales bajo el has­htag #TinelliMercenarioK y llegó a los medios masivos de comunicación argentinos en el primer año del gobierno de Macri y generó producciones discursivas de intern­autas desconocidos y de figuras públicas, se enmarca en un nuevo tipo de sociedad a la que Carlón (2015) define como hipermediatizada contemporánea. En este proceso de mediatización se han sumado enunciadores políticos y se han generado nuevos tipos de discursos políticos y prácticas políticas digitales. Para la realización del tra­bajo se tuvo en cuenta las producciones discursivas del presidente y del conductor televisivo en las redes sociales y en los medios masivos, así como las de los internautas desconocidos y algunos periodistas de los grandes me­dios argentinos. Sostenido en la idea de mediatización de la política (Verón, 1984), se realizó un análisis de corte socio-semiótico (Steimberg, 1993; Verón, 1987a) en co­nexión con el empleo de herramientas del dispositivo de circulación hipermediático trabajado por Carlón (2015). En el análisis se relevó la existencia de trolls y bots que apoyan al Presidente y atacan al conductor televisivo y al kirchnerismo, así como la emergencia de un colectivo po­lítico macrista, conformado por internautas ciudadanos seguidores de Macri, que se articula en Twitter a través de un hashtag y que se disuelve luego del encuentro entre el Presidente y Tinelli en Olivos.
DE IDEIAS E LUGARES: UMA HISTÓRIA DO LIBERALISMO ECONÔMICO NO BRASIL OITOCENTISTA
Authors: Martins Raphael Castro , Salomão Ivan Colangelo
Published: July 2018

O liberalismo encontrou no Brasil uma realidade distinta daquela em que a ideologia surgiu, nos países europeus. Uma sociedade escravista, cujas relações sociais baseavam-se no favor, não poderia locupletar-se de ser exatamente liberal, ainda que o fosse em termos econômicos. Extrapolando a polêmica acerca da adaptabilidade do liberalismo nos trópicos, este trabalho tem por objetivo sistematizar algumas das principais características do liberalismo econômico no Brasil do século XIX. Para tanto, analisou-se o pensamento de três proeminentes autores liberais, a inserção do país na divisão internacional do trabalho e, por fim, o debate monetário travado naquele momento histórico.

Authors: Cruz Felipe Nogueira da , Hoff Debora Nayar
Published: July 2018

Face às evidências da gestação de uma crise ambiental, diversos atores têm pontuado a importância das estruturas industriais para o estabelecimento de estratégias de desenvolvimento favoráveis à conservação da qualidade dos serviços ecossistêmicos. Nesse particular, a corrente conhecida como Ecologia Industrial advoga a reestruturação da indústria sob o formato de um sistema fechado, baseado em relações simbióticas e intrinsecamente ajustado às tolerâncias e características dos sistemas naturais:        o Ecossistema Industrial. Este trabalho investigou como os Ecossistemas Industriais constituem um tipo de eco-inovação coerente com a construção de uma Economia Verde. Verificou-se que os Ecossistemas Industriais oferecem oportunidades de investimento e emprego em consonância com as necessidades de conservação do capital natural. Ademais, eles fornecem fortes evidências de que os esforços inovativos na direção de tecnologias ambientalmente seguras podem induzir ganhos econômicos e ambientais, constituindo uma estratégia viável no direcionamento de uma recuperação econômica verde.

Elever des porcs dans une ville d’Afrique de l’Ouest : arrangements entre acteurs pour gérer la proximité ville-élevage
Authors: Robineau Ophélie
Published: July 2018

Alors qu’un nombre croissant d’études s’intéressent à l’agriculture urbaine, l’élevage urbain de porcs reste méconnu. Pourtant, il est présent dans de nombreuses villes du Sud et procure un revenu à de nombreuses familles. Cette étude visait à dépasser les analyses centrées sur des aspects techniques de ce type d’élevage pour s’intéresser plus largement au cadre social et spatial dans lequel des éleveurs élèvent des porcs en ville. Elle reposait sur une démarche empirique qui a permis de saisir les conditions du développement et du maintien de l’élevage de porcs dans la deuxième ville du Burkina Faso, Bobo-Dioulasso. Dans cet article, il est question des pratiques des éleveurs à petit effectif, et plus particulièrement du rôle que jouent les arrangements entre acteurs dans la mobilisation des ressources à la fois techniques et sociales qui sont nécessaires à la conduite et au maintien de ce type d’élevage. Les résultats soulignent que les éleveurs de porcs ont une logique de mobilité réduite : les arrangements qu’ils développent avec d’autres acteurs se basent sur une mise en invisibilité de l’élevage à la fois politique, spatiale et sociale, et les liens qu’ils développent pour accéder à des ressources externes sont ancrés dans le temps et dans un voisinage proche. L’environnement social et spatial au sein duquel ils évoluent est central pour la conduite quotidienne des élevages autant que pour leur pérennité à court et moyen terme.

Published: July 2018

L’alimentation complémentaire des porcelets à la maternité est indispensable pour un sevrage tardif à 45 jours. L’objectif de cette étude a été de vérifier l’hypothèse selon laquelle une alimentation solide peut améliorer les performances zootechniques des porcelets au sevrage. Un échantillon de 36 porcelets a été réparti entre trois truies : les porcelets nourris uniquement au lait maternel par la truie A (lot 1, témoin), les porcelets sous la truie B et ayant consommé de l’aliment 2e âge à partir de 30 jours (lot 2), les porcelets sous la truie C, recevant les deux types d’aliments (1er et 2e âge) de 15 à 45 jours (lot 3). Des pesées individuelles ont été effectuées dès l’entrée à l’aliment 1er âge, à 15 jours puis à 30 jours et enfin à 45 jours. Au sevrage, les porcelets recevant les deux types d’aliments ont donné de meilleures performances (p < 0,05) sur le poids vif à 45 jours d’âge (11,2 ± 2,5 kg contre 8,0 ± 1,7 kg), la consommation d’aliment (292 ± 45 g/j contre 134 ± 45 g/j) et le gain de poids moyen quotidien (206 ± 49 g/j contre 101 ± 30 g/j). En conclusion, la distribution des aliments solides améliore significativement (p < 0,05) la prise alimentaire et la vitesse de croissance des porcelets au 45e jour. Cette étude a permis de montrer la nécessité de distribuer des aliments 1er et 2e âge dans les élevages pratiquant un sevrage tardif. Cette pratique ouvre des perspectives d’amélioration des performances zootechniques en élevage porcin en zone tropicale.

Time Quasilattices in Dissipative Dynamical Systems
Authors: Flicker Felix
Published: July 2018

We establish the existence of ‘time quasilattices’ as stable
trajectories in dissipative dynamical systems. These tilings of the time
axis, with two unit cells of different durations, can be generated as
cuts through a periodic lattice spanned by two orthogonal directions of
time. We show that there are precisely two admissible time
quasilattices, which we term the infinite Pell and Clapeyron words,
reached by a generalization of the period-doubling cascade. Finite Pell
and Clapeyron words of increasing length provide systematic periodic
approximations to time quasilattices which can be verified
experimentally. The results apply to all systems featuring the universal
sequence of periodic windows. We provide examples of discrete-time maps,
and periodically-driven continuous-time dynamical systems. We identify
quantum many-body systems in which time quasilattices develop rigidity
via the interaction of many degrees of freedom, thus constituting
dissipative discrete ‘time quasicrystals’.

Социально-психологическая адаптация подростков-мигрантов как компонент безопасности муниципального образовательного пространства
Authors: Сапожникова Индира Султановна
Published: July 2018

The process of migrant adaptation is double-sided, because it affects both sides: newly arrived people, who want to flow into new social surrounding and constant inhabitants, who often frankly resist and prevent this process. Special attention in the process of migrant’s adaptation has to pay for children, because, from one side, there are children with different cultural traditions, values, stereotypes of the behavior, from different social sections in one educational space and this fact prevents from making optimal relations between pupils; from another side, just in the period of childhood and youth superior values of the person are cognizing and interiorizating , semantically-life conception is forming, attitude to himself and to others are forming, different social roles and demands are mastering, the models of the behavior are producing.
Эмпирическое исследование содержания представлений о брачном партнере у студентов педагогических вузов
Authors: Котова Изабелла Борисовна , Бережная Алина Михайловна
Published: July 2018

The article examines the methodology and results of research carried out to study the particularities of students’ representations about their marriage partner.

The authors have studied content and structural particularities of these representations. The choice of sampling, psycho diagnostic instruments and processing methods of empirical data are well justified. The images and characteristics revealed are used as an empirical material. We applied the method of semantic differential. The received data were also exposed to factor analysis that let discover three semantic lines in respondents’ representation structure of the marriage partner: personality traits, business qualities and appearance. It was ascertained that the students of pedagogical university have difficul- ties to build the adequate image of the marriage partner, the parameters of father’s image are similar to image characteristics of the marriage partner.

The young girls from complete families, creating the image of the marriage partner set semantic accents with reference to qualities, reflecting interpersonal contacts, but the girls from single-parent family do it with reference to business qualities of the partner and ignore the qualities reflecting positive attitudes to the wife. The indices of deficient repre- sentations about the marriage partner typical for the students from incomplete families were discovered. We also examined their negative impact upon marriage relations. We suggest a model of psychological support to young girls who suffer from difficulties and can’t achieve self-realization in the field of marriage relations.

Проблемы определения понятия «психика»
Authors: Корниенко Александр Федорович
Published: July 2018

Different approaches towards one of main psychological questions “Menatility, what is it" are scrutinized in this article. The authors show, that recognition of the mentality to be non-material and unphysiologic formation, as well as its reduction to physiologi­cal processes, should be considered as deadlock directions of the psychological research. They pay attention to purposefulness of mentality definition as particular brain attribute, which doesn't provide the reflection of the objective reality, existing at present or which existed in the past, but the construction of the closest future, which has never been before and which doesn't exist at the moment. The authors give the scheme, illustrating the gist of the idea, forming the basis of this definition of mentality. The model of functioning of “complicated" neurophysiologic processes with psychological attributes, called “mentality" is suggested.

Authors: López Pozos Cecilia
Published: July 2018

Este artículo explora la presencia del crimen organizado en la región del Altiplano Central Mexicano, su dominio y poder en las estrategias de control que ejercen en los diversos actos delictivos a nivel regional. Al mismo tiempo, se analizan las actividades delincuenciales en las que involucran a los jóvenes y las repercusiones psicosociales que sufren las víctimas de la violencia física, simbólica que afecta la salud mental a nivel individual y colectivo, destruyendo los lazos de identidad, solidaridad y sentido comunitario en la población en general. El proceso de construcción de esta investigación fue bajo el enfoque de la metodología cualitativa, con una perspectiva teórica estructural que analiza la realidad psicosocial en donde la violencia es un factor que altera la salud mental, tanto de víctimas, como victimarios. Los resultados indican que los jóvenes que se integran a los Cárteles del narcotráfico son vulnerables y carentes, desarrollando actividades delincuenciales como el robo, secuestro y narcomenudeo acciones que los expone a mayores peligros, como consumidores de estupefacientes y a reproducir mayor violencia entre la población, alterando la estabilidad social y la salud mental de la población en toda la región.

DETERMINANTS OF LOCAL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES
Authors: Wiatrak Andrzej
Published: July 2018

The article seeks to specify the extent to which municipal development strategies form the basis for municipality development and what determines these strategies and development processes at the local level. It discusses the following issues: the nature and objectives of local development strategies, characteristics of the development strategy in the Stara Błotnica Municipality in the Mazowieckie Voivodship, and the determinants of the municipality’s local development strategy. The considerations herein suggest that the foundation for actions and the use of its resources is provided, on the one hand, by its multifunctional development and, on the other, by sustainable development, relying chiefly on its resources and support from various aid funds, in particular the European Union funds. The municipal development path is set in line with the socio- -economic policy implemented by higher levels, namely the EU, Poland, the Mazowieckie Voivodship and the Białobrzeski District. Task performance requires financial outlays that exceed the municipality’s budget, which proved to be a barrier to full implementation of the strategy. The article was prepared on the basis of related literature as well as documents and materials concerning the Stara Błotnica Municipality in the Mazowieckie Voivodship.

Published: July 2018

The development of the foodservice industry is related to the social and economic changes taking place in last three decades. The sector is sensitive to economic and social trends. The author’s main aim is to define the most important socio-economic changes which took place in Poland as a result of the political and economic transformation after 1989 and the impact which took place in competitiveness in the foodservice industry. The paper used secondary sources of information such as: data of the Główny Urząd Statystyczny (CSO), business reports, and industry newsletters and publications. The research period was the years 1988–2016. A comparative method was applied for the analysis of collected data and materials. Analysis shows that gastronomic business is one of the most vigorous sectors in Poland. Foodservice enterprises show a significant improvement in the quality and variety of services. Social and demographic trends as well as changing values in society and consumer perceptions promote the development of new opportunities and products in the foodservice industry. The foodservice industry is highly competitive.
ANALYSIS OF CONTRACT FARMING EFFECTS ON EFFICIENCY AND PRODUCTIVITY OF SMALL-SCALE SUNFLOWER FARMERS IN TANZANIA – A PROPENSITY SCORE METHOD APPROACH
Authors: Mpeta Daniel , Kuzilwa Joseph , Sebyiga Batimo
Published: July 2018

This paper attempts to measure and compare technical efficiency (TE) levels across small scale contract and non-contract sunflowers farmers in Kongwa district, in the central agricultural zone of Tanzania. Sunflower is not the ideal contract crop; it lacks conventional characteristics of a contract crop such as high perishability, product homogeneity, high hygiene, and safety requirement at the end market and product being hard to grow. We apply propensity score method of Rosenbaum and Rubin to mitigate bias arising from observed characteristics among farmers in both groups. Participating in contract farming lead to an average increase in technical efficiency of a farmer by 4.5–7.4%, and this impact is significant at 5% level. Similarly contract participation increases land productivity of a famer by an average, in the range of 20.8–25.1 kg·ac–1. This impact is significant at 5% and the expected output(total factor productivity) per acre of an average contract farm produces 24% more sunflower per acre than non-contract farm. Participation in contract farming has a significantly positive effect on the use of high-quality seeds, which can explain a part of the higher (land) productivity of contract farmers compared to non-contract farmers. By improving service provision from contract firms to farmers (e.g. improved seed provision), there is still a room to improve efficiency, thereby increasing productivity and total output.
Anomalous aortic origin of right and circumflex coronary arteries - procedural risks during combined aortic valve replacement and coronary artery bypass grafting
Authors: Kocica Mladen , Karadzic Milica , Grujic Milos , Cvetkovic Dragan , Soskic Ljiljana
Published: July 2018

Introduction. Anomalous aortic origin of the right and the circumflex coronary arteries presents extremely rare and potentially dangerous combination in patients scheduled for combined coronary bypass grafting and aortic valve replacement surgery. We report this illustrative case to emphasize the importance of meticulous diagnostic setup enabling the surgeon to anticipate and avoid numerous possible pitfalls. Case outline. A 74-year-old woman, with anterior-wall myocardial infarction and aortic valve stenosis, underwent successful combined coronary artery bypass grafting and aortic valve replacement. Preoperative coronary angiography revealed unusually high take-off of the right main coronary trunk and anomalous origin and course of the circumflex coronary artery. Anatomy of both anomalous coronary arteries in the light of underlying surgical pathology necessitated a meticulous preparation and caution during successive phases of surgical treatment. Conclusion. Estimating potential procedural risk should be standard practice for each patient with known congenital coronary artery anomalies, regardless of the natural risk imposed by a particular anomaly. Preoperative evaluation of coronary circulation, with high surgical awareness and knowledge of different congenital coronary artery anomalies, should be a standard approach in cardiac surgical practice. This would add a predictive value for an actual procedural risk in cases of previously unrecognized anomalies.
The influence of the dynamics and the level of maturity of the cortical functions as a prerequisite for the development of speech in children
Authors: Davidovic Maja , Otasevic Jadranka , Dobrota-Davidovic Nada , Petronic Ivana , Davidovic Dragomir , Jerkic Lana
Published: July 2018

Introduction/Objective. The development of speech is the result of interaction of different systems of the cortex, which gradually acquires the ability of phonological presentation and motor control, in the presence of a series of physical and physiological changes in the morphology of the articulation system. The objective of the study was to examine the impact of laterality and cortical responses on the development of speech in children. Methods. Research is a quasi-experimental design with two groups. The sample covered 60 children from Belgrade, of both sexes, ages 5.5?7 years, divided into two groups, experimental (30) and control (30). We used the following instruments: test for assessing laterality and ascertaining evoked potentials. Results. On the visual lateralization subtest there was a statistically significant difference (?2 = 7.56, p < 0.05) between the observed groups. The visual evoked potentials on all measured parameters gave a statistically significant difference between the groups: waveform cortical responses ? left (?2 = 30.00, df = 1, p < 0.05); cortical responses ? right (?2 = 6.667, df = 1 , p < 0.05); waveform amplitude ? left (?2 = 13.469, df = 1, p < 0.05); amplitude ? right (?2 = 40.00, df = 1, p < 0.05), somatosensory potentials (?2 = 18.261, df = 1, p <0.05); waveform amplitude (?2 = 12.000, df = 1, p < 0.05); waveform latency (?2 = 5.455, df = 1, p < 0.05). Conclusion. Visual laterality, as well as visual and somatosensory cortical responses to stimuli is better in children without the present articulation disorder, which could be used for timely prevention planning.
Experimental investigation of cutting performance for different material compositions of Cr/Ni-steel with 1 μm laser radiation
Authors: Goppold Cindy , Urlau Franz , Pinder Thomas , Herwig Patrick , Lasagni Andrés F.
Published: July 2018

Best edge quality for thick metal plates is one of the current main challenges to create a unique selling proposition for laser cutting machines. Various approaches have been used to optimize the cutting performance of different materials. The reported results show in general that when a new material batch is loaded to the laser cutting machine, even of the same material type, diverse results are obtained. These differences have been attributed to fluctuations in the chemical composition of the used alloys. This letter analyses the influence of five different material compositions of Cr/Ni-steel (X5CrNi18-10/1.4301/SUS304/stainless steel) and compares achievable qualities and process windows using a solid state fusion cutting system.

A series of ten chalcone-substituted quinoxalines (4a-e), (3a-e) starting from 1-(phenylquinoxalin-2-yl)ethanone and 1-(3-methylquinoxalin-2-yl)ethanone have been synthesized using conventional heating and ultrasound-assisted methods. Furthermore, novel of five quinoxaline derivatives including pyrazoline, isoxazole, pyrimidin-2-one, N-acylpyrazoline and pyridin-2-one moieties were also prepared from the reaction of chalcone compound 4a with different cyclization reagents using the same strategy. The structures of all synthesized compounds were established on the basis of FT-IR, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR. The ultrasonic irradiation method provide several advantages over conventional heating method, including shorter reaction times (30-90 min.) and good percentage yields (65% - 88%), comparing with conventional protocol (5 to 20 hrs. with 30% to 55% reaction yields).

Crise, conceito, qualidade e constitucionalização no Brasil – A democracia no século XXI
Authors: Dalla Corte Tiago , Dalla Corte Thaís
Published: July 2018

Apesar da democracia não ser a forma de governo que convém a todos os países e, supostamente, estar em declínio, ela é a preponderante no mundo. Desde seu surgimento, a democracia alterou-se, não correspondendo o seu modelo antigo à democracia moderna. Em razão de um somatório de fatores inter-relacionados, a democracia esvaziou-se. Assim, a despeito de existirem atributos comuns, não há uma única forma e significado de democracia em todos os Estados, uma vez que ela formata-se a partir de processos históricos e culturais. Inclusive, muitos países que adotam a forma de governo democrática, nem sequer são democracias de fato. Nesse contexto, o conceito de democracia é dinâmico, pois altera-se conforme especificidades espaciais e temporais, o que ocasiona profusão e confusão em relação ao seu sentido. Por derivar da política, a democracia, em sua essência, é conflituosa. Ainda, por ser variável, é possível a manipulação de sua utilização com o intuito de mascarar intenções hegemônicas como se fossem decorrentes do poder do povo. A Constituição de cada Estado será a responsável por definir a democracia em seu ordenamento jurídico, pois separada da Constituição ela é, apenas, um conceito incompleto e inseguro. Diante do exposto, o presente trabalho, por meio do método histórico, objetiva investigar a democracia no que se refere à sua crise, à sua definição, à sua qualidade e à sua constitucionalização no Brasil. Como resultados desta pesquisa, conclui-se que a democracia liberal no século XXI encontra-se em desilusão, sendo que seu conceito liberal não é compatível com os problemas da modernidade, o que reflete na ausência de sua qualidade.

Authors: Suwena Kadek Rai
Published: July 2018

Administrasi anggaran biaya sekolah pendidikan merupakan seluruh proses kegiatan yang direncanakan dan diusahakan secara sengaja dan bersungguh-sunggguh, serta pembinaan secara kontinyu terhadap biaya operasional sekolah/ pendidikan, sehingga kegiatan operasional pendidikan semakin efektif dan efisien, demi membantu tercapainya tujuan pendidikan yang telah ditetapkan. Secara garis besar kegiatannya meliputi pengumpulan/ penerimaan dana yang sah (dana rutin, SPP, sumbangan BP3, donasi dan usaha-usaha halal lainnya), penggunaan dana dan pertanggungjawaban dana kepada pihak-pihak terkait yang berwenang. Dalam upaya penggunaan dana dan pertanggungjawabannya diperlukan adanya strategi yang tepat. Seperti yang kita ketahui, strategi itu sendiri dipenggaruhi oleh misi organisasi atau lembaga (sekolah) dan lingkungannya. Dalam menentukan strategi diperlukan analisis masa lalu dan lingkungan ekstrem yang mencakup kekuatan (strength), kelemahan (weakness), peluang (opportunities) dan ancaman (threats) berkaitan dengan implementasi dari pembiayaan yang akan dilaksanakan. Implementasi pembiayaan dalam dunia pendidikan dapat dimulai dari lingkungan keluarga, sekolah dan yang berujung pada lingkungan masyarakat (pemerintah). Maka sosialisasi gencar untuk meyakinkan pemerintah agar mengalokasikan anggaran sektor pendidikan dalam jumlah yang cukup harus terus dilakukan. Tanpa usaha seperti itu, nasib sektor pendidikan saat otonomi daerah dilaksanakan hanya asal terlaksana saja. Kata Kunci: pembiayaan, pendidikan
