Published: December 2019

Accurately estimating grassland carbon stocks is important in assessing grassland productivity and the global carbon balance. This study used the regression kriging (RK) method to estimate grassland carbon stocks in Northeast China based on Landsat8 operational land imager (OLI) images and five remote sensing variables. The normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), the wide dynamic range vegetation index (WDRVI), the chlorophyll index (CI), Band6 and Band7 were used to build the RK models separately and to explore their capabilities for modeling spatial distributions of grassland carbon stocks. To explore the different model performances for typical grassland and meadow grassland, the models were validated separately using the typical steppe, meadow steppe or all-steppe ground measurements based on leave-one-out crossvalidation (LOOCV). When the results were validated against typical steppe samples, the Band6 model showed the best performance (coefficient of determination (R2) = 0.46, mean average error (MAE) = 8.47%, and root mean square error (RMSE) = 10.34 gC/m2) via the linear regression (LR) method, while for the RK method, the NDVI model showed the best performance (R2 = 0.63, MAE = 7.04 gC/m2, and RMSE = 8.51 gC/m2), which were much higher than the values of the best LR model. When the results were validated against the meadow steppe samples, the CI model achieved the best estimation accuracy, and the accuracy of the RK method (R2 = 0.72, MAE = 8.09 gC/m2, and RMSE = 9.89 gC/m2) was higher than that of the LR method (R2 = 0.70, MAE = 8.99 gC/m2, and RMSE = 10.69 gC/m2). Upon combining the results of the most accurate models of the typical steppe and meadow steppe, the RK method reaches the highest model accuracy of R2 = 0.69, MAE = 7.40 gC/m2, and RMSE = 9.01 gC/m2, while the LR method reaches the highest model accuracy of R2 = 0.53, MAE = 9.20 gC/m2, and RMSE = 11.10 gC/m2. The results showed an improved performance of the RK method compared to the LR method, and the improvement in the accuracy of the model is mainly attributed to the enhancement of the estimation accuracy of the typical steppe. In the study region, the carbon stocks showed an increasing trend from west to east, the total amount of grassland carbon stock was 79.77 × 104 Mg C, and the mean carbon stock density was 47.44 gC/m2. The density decreased in the order of temperate meadow steppe, lowland meadow steppe, temperate typical steppe, and sandy steppe. The methodology proposed in this study is particularly beneficial for carbon stock estimates at the regional scale, especially for countries such as China with many grassland types.
Social Accounting for Sustainability: A Study in the Social Economy
Authors: Lazkano Larraitz , Beraza Ana
Published: December 2019

In order to understand an organization’s survival and growth, legitimacy plays a key role. This paper explains how social accounting can generate legitimacy for a social company and make companies more sustainable. The demand to know the value that different organizations generate or detract from society has increased since the global crisis of 2008. Sustainable organizations are those that positively impact all stakeholder groups. In this paper, an analysis of 20 Spanish social companies that have implemented or are going to implement social accounting is made. We analyzed, through interviews, the expectations and integration of social accounting, determining change-emerging factors occurring after the application of social accounting. For the qualitative analysis of the information collected, NVivo 12 was used, a software program adequate for qualitative and mixed-methods research. The main finding shows that most companies communicate results internally; thus, these companies expect a higher involvement in the implementation of social accounting. Social companies, since their value is fundamentally not centered on that which comes from commercial activity, need to evidence their effort on specific social values that do not go through the market, and so are not reflected in traditional financial statements.

Published: December 2019

Green fertilization technologies such as the formula fertilization technology and the water and fertilizer integration technology are important technologies to realize fertilizer reduction and replacement. To explore the willingness of farmers to adopt those technologies and its driving path, can help to improve soil quality and promote the sustainable development of agriculture. In this paper, trust is incorporated into the theoretical framework of motivation, opportunity, ability (MOA). Based on the questionnaire survey data of citrus farmers in Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces in China, the logical relationship of farmers’ willingness to adopt green fertilization technology is analyzed from four aspects of adoption motivation, adoption opportunity, ability (technical operation ability and ant risk ability), and trust by using a structural equation model. The results showed that adoption motivation, adoption opportunity, technical operation ability, and anti-risk ability had significant positive direct effects on adoption willingness, which were 0.610, 0.381, 0.491, and 0.297, respectively. Trust had an indirect effect, which was 0.191. From the results of cross-group analysis, it can be seen that farmers’ participation in organizations or contracts signed will strengthen the influence of adoption opportunity, technical operation ability and adoption motivation on adoption willingness. However, the influence of the anti-risk ability on adoption willingness was strengthened by the non-participation or non-contract peasant household groups.

Published: December 2019

The study aims to learn more about the profiles of students who attended several Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) at the University of Málaga (Málaga, Spain) and their opinion about them. The results of this study are based on a survey conducted by the students who completed the courses. The number of men and women as a whole is similar, although significant differences can be observed depending on the subject matter of the courses, which is also the case with the age of the students. The data revealed that 80% have university studies and 60% were working. The students in the sample learned about MOOCs mainly from other people (friends, social media, etc.) and showed a high level of satisfaction with them. It is significant that 99.4% would take another MOOC or that 97.9% would recommend it to a friend, colleague, or family member.

Authors: Liu Wenqian , Zhu Xiaoning , Wang Li
Published: December 2019

Recently, in the context of “The Belt and Road” Initiative, the China Railway Express, which has a high volume and spans a long distance has greatly facilitated the construction of international freight transport corridors between developed and developing countries. To ensure sustainable development, this paper introduces an optimization problem of a container distribution organization scheme for the China Railway Express resulting from the major existing problems arising in railway port stations, which is a special and crucial link in transportation organization of the China Railway Express. The problem of a long dwell time of inbound trains is typically concerned with the operation process in railway port stations. Taking various real-world influencing factors of efficiency into account, this paper formulates a distribution organization optimization model to minimize the total container-hours of inbound China Railway Express at Alataw Pass railway station. Subsequently, a solution method based on the main idea of a genetic algorithm is developed to solve the problem, and two examples of different modes of transportation organization are given for validating the effectiveness of the model. Finally, we compare the results between two modes under different orders of magnitude according to the characteristics of sustainability to discuss the possible change and development of the China Railway Express in the future.
Laboratory Evaluation on the Performance of Porous Asphalt Mixture with Steel Slag for Seasonal Frozen Regions
Authors: Liu Hanbing , Zhu Bing , Wei Haibin , Chai Chao , Chen Yu
Published: December 2019

Porous asphalt mixtures with steel slag (PAM-SS), as an eco-friendly and low-cost pavement material, are conducive to addressing the issue of urban floods and natural resource shortages. The primary objective of this paper was to explore the feasibility of the application of PAM-SS for seasonal frozen regions, and ascertain the optimal replacement percentage of natural aggregate. Steel slag coarse aggregate (SSCA) was used to replace basalt coarse aggregate (BCA) at four levels (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) by equal volume. The volume characteristics, mechanical properties, low-temperature cracking resistance, water stability, and freeze-thaw (F-T) durability of the mixture were assessed. The results indicated that the low-temperature cracking resistance of the mixture was significantly enhanced and acoustic emission (AE) energy was uniformly released by the incorporation of steel slag. Furthermore, the porosity, permeability, Marshall stability (MS), and the resistance against water damage and F-T cycles were also significantly improved. Based on the experimental results, the complete replacement of natural aggregate is advisable to obtain an optimal overall performance.
Risk Aversion Based Inexact Stochastic Dynamic Programming Approach for Water Resources Management Planning under Uncertainty
Authors: Liu Zhenfang , Zhou Yang , Huang Gordon , Luo Bin
Published: December 2019

In this study, a dual interval robust stochastic dynamic programming (DIRSDP) method is developed for planning water resources management systems under uncertainty. As an extension of the existing interval stochastic dynamic programming (ISDP) method, DIRSDP can deal with two-stage stochastic programming (TSP)-based planning problems associated with dynamic features, input uncertainties, and multistage concerns. Compared with other optimization methods dealing with uncertainties, the developed DIRSDP method has advantages in addressing uncertainties with complex presentations and reflecting decision makers’ risk-aversion attitudes within its optimization process. Parameters in the DIRSDP model can be represented as probability distributions as well as single and/or dual intervals. Decision makers’ risk-aversion attitudes can be reflected through restricting the deviation of the recourse costs to a tolerance level. Water-allocation plans can then be developed based on the analysis of tradeoffs between the system benefit and solution robustness. The developed method is applied to a case of water resources management planning. The solutions are reasonable, indicating applicability of the developed methodology.
Centralization or Decentralization of Environmental Governance—Evidence from China
Authors: Luo Zhigao , Hu Xinyun , Li Mingming , Yang Jirui , Wen Chuanhao
Published: December 2019

From the perspective of environmental federalism, we extracted the environmental intention words from the work reports of China’s central and provincial governments through data mining, and used the instrumental variable method to conduct empirical experiments concerning the dispute between centralization and decentralization of environmental governance in the Chinese context. The results suggest that a negative correlation exists between the intention of the central government’s environmental governance and the provincial environmental quality, whereas a positive correlation exists between the intention of the provincial government and the provincial environmental quality. Our interpretation is that environmental centralization, coupled with its political, economic, and cultural factors, has converted provincial governments into supporters of environmental pollution, and that the central government’s ongoing environmental protection inspection campaign has forced the provincial government to be somewhat effective. We propose establishing Chinese-style cooperative federalism in environmental authority and not only centralizing or decentralizing in one direction. New transition mechanisms for the central government’s authority should be implemented, such as the environmental protection inspection groups mechanism and the ecological gross domestic product based political tournament.
LES Study of Wake Meandering in Different Atmospheric Stabilities and Its Effects on Wind Turbine Aerodynamics
Authors: Ning Xu , Wan Decheng
Published: December 2019

Wake meandering disturbs the stability of the far wake field and thus increases the fatigue loads of downstream wind turbines. A deep understanding of this phenomenon under atmospheric boundary layers and its relation to the structural loads helps to better model the dynamic wake and alleviate adverse effects. A large eddy simulation and an actuator line model are introduced in the present work to simulate the wake field and aerodynamic loads of wind turbines with different longitudinal spacings. By temporal filtering and the gaussian fitting method, the wake center and edge are precisely defined, and the dynamic wake characteristics, including the wake width, oscillation amplitude, and frequency, are described based on the statistical data of the simulated flow field. Results reveal that the wake meandering is caused by both large-scale atmospheric structure and the unstable vortex shed from the rotor because two distinct meandering frequency ranges are detected. As the atmosphere instability increases, the former becomes the dominant inducing factor of the meandering movements. Further, the analysis of the correlation between the inflow characteristics and the wake deflection shows that the Taylor hypothesis remains valid within a distance of over a thousand meters under both neutral and convective boundary layers, proving the feasibility of using this hypothesis for wake evolution prediction. In addition, our study shows that the fluctuation of blade root moment and yaw moment is significantly intensified by the meandering wake, with their standard deviation is augmenting by over two times under both atmospheric conditions. The power spectrum illustrates that the component with rotor rotation frequency of the former is sensible to the wake effect, but for the latter, the power spectrum density of all frequencies is increased under the meandering wake. These indicate that the fatigue loads will be underestimated without considering the wake meandering effect. Moreover, the high correlation between the wake deflection and yaw moment implies that we can predict yaw moment based on the incoming flow information with high accuracy.

Published: December 2019

For the last 20 years, the field of industrial symbiosis (IS) has raised interest among academics and industries. IS consists of dissimilar entities sharing and valorising underutilised resources such as materials, energy, information, services, or technologies in the view of increasing the industrial system’s circularity. Despite the benefits brought by IS, though, barriers hindering the full dissemination of IS remain. This paper presents a methodology developed in the framework of the H2020 European project EPOS that aims at removing some of the obstacles to the implementation of IS. The method follows a multidisciplinary approach that intents to trigger the interest of industry decision-makers and initiate efforts to optimise the use of energy and material resources through symbiosis. It is applied to an industrial cluster located in the Humber region of UK. The case study shows how the approach helped to identify several IS opportunities, how one particular high-potential symbiosis was further assessed, and how it led to the creation of a business case. It was estimated that the identified symbiosis could bring substantial economic (+2000 k€ pa), environmental (−4000 t of CO2 eq. pa) and social (+7 years of healthy life) gains to the region.

Published: December 2019

Rural living conditions (RLCs) in China are influential on the overall development and stability of regions, particularly for populations in distant poverty-stricken villages. This paper takes 16 villages of Chedao town in Gansu province, Northwest China (NWC) as our case study. Using data from the Poverty Alleviation and Assistance (PAA) project launched by Lanzhou University in June 2017, and the perceptions of residents of Chedao, we pinpoint RLC changes in the targeted poverty alleviation (TPA) process. The three main results show that: (1) From the residents’ perceptions, the impact of alleviation measures on RLC is mainly reflected in improved housing conditions, infrastructure, and public services. We find no significant effect on cultural conditions. However, eco-environmental conditions have obviously weakened. (2) Housing size, accessibility, distance to shops, and safe drinking water are the most significant factors in housing conditions, infrastructure, public services, and eco-environmental conditions, respectively. (3) Out of the different levels of rural poverty households (RPHs), severe rurality villages are more strongly aware of the positive changes in RLC than residents of mild rurality villages. Moreover, in residents’ view, housing conditions are most improved in severe rurality villages, infrastructure is most improved in moderate rurality villages, and public services are most improved in mild rurality villages. Eco-environmental conditions worsen across all levels. Our findings shed light on the perceptions of residents on changes occurring in rural living conditions, and provide a basis for subsequent studies of RLC in Northwest China.
Local Participation in Tourism Development—Roles of Non-Tourism Related Residents of the Alpine Destination Bad Reichenhall
Authors: Kantsperger Markus , Thees Hannes , Eckert Christian
Published: December 2019

This study applies an adapted approach of the traditional view on local participation in tourism development. First, the study mainly focuses on exploring the patterns behind participation instead of the reasons for participation. Second, a case is chosen that transcends the interest in researching participation in developing countries. Third, the study focuses on non-tourism related residents, an under-researched group of stakeholders. It is thus investigated how non-tourism related residents face the process of participation in tourism development and what the main barriers and drivers are in this regard. To discuss this issue, the study takes a closer look at the case of Bad Reichenhall, an Alpine Destination in Germany. 15 qualitative interviews are conducted with non-tourism related residents and further evaluated through a qualitative content analysis. The results underline that tourism represents a public domain that concerns all stakeholders of a destination. The typology derived throughout the study reflects the heterogeneity of non-tourism related residents, coming up with four types of non-tourism related residents facing participation in tourism development rather differently. Various barriers and drivers are revealed that impact non-tourism related residents from both a personal and general point of view. Non-tourism related residents turn out as a promising and important target group in the discourse of stakeholder participation in tourism development.

Published: December 2019

This paper aims to investigate the nonlinear dynamic properties of a two-point and symmetrically supported pipeline bracket system coated with the damping element using an elastic-porous metal rubber. The dynamic model of the studied two-point and symmetric pipeline system was established based on impulse response matrix for accurate and reliable description on its nonlinear behaviours, e.g., energy dissipation and loss factor. The experimental verification of the developed model was performed by means of dynamic test as well as the analyses of nonlinear damping characteristics. The experimental results show a good agreement with the prediction results obtained from the proposed dynamic model. This work provides an alternative method to investigate the dynamics of pipeline vibration system equipped with a damping structure.
Performance Evaluation of Automobile Fuel Consumption Using a Fuzzy-Based Granular Model with Coverage and Specificity
Authors: Yeom Chan-Uk , Kwak Keun-Chang
Published: December 2019

The predictive performance of different granular models (GMs) was compared and analyzed for methods that evenly divide linguistic context in information granulation-based GMs and perform flexible partitioning. GMs are defined by input and output space information transformations using context-based fuzzy C-means clustering. The input space information transformation is directly induced by the output space context. Usually, the output space context is evenly divided. In this paper, the linguistic context was flexibly divided by stochastically distributing data in the output space. Unlike most fuzzy models, this GM yielded information segmentation. Their performance is usually evaluated using the root mean square error, which utilizes the difference between the model’s output and ground truth. However, this is inadequate for the performance evaluation of information innovation-based GMs. Thus, the GM performance was compared and analyzed using the linguistic context partitioning by selecting the appropriate performance evaluation method for the GM. The method was augmented by the coverage and specificity of the GMs output as the performance index. For the GM validation, its performance was compared and analyzed using the auto MPG dataset. The GM with flexible partitioning of linguistic context performed better. Performance evaluation using the coverage and specificity of the membership function was validated.

Individuals with Parkinson’s disease (PD) have gait asymmetries, and exercise therapy may reduce the differences between more and less affected limbs. The Nordic walking (NW) training may contribute to reducing the asymmetry in upper and lower limb movements in people with PD. We compared the effects of 11 weeks of NW aerobic training on asymmetrical variables of gait in subjects with mild PD. Fourteen subjects with idiopathic PD, age: 66.8 ± 9.6 years, and Hoehn and Yard stage of 1.5 points were enrolled. The kinematic analysis was performed pre and post-intervention. Data were collected at two randomized walking speeds (0.28 m·s−1 and 0.83 m·s−1) during five minutes on the treadmill without poles. The more affected and less affected body side symmetries (threshold at 5% between sides) of angular kinematics and spatiotemporal gait parameters were calculated. We used Generalized Estimating Equations with Bonferroni post hoc (α = 0.05). Maximal flexion of the knee (p = 0.007) and maximal abduction of the hip (p = 0.041) were asymmetrical pre and became symmetrical post NW intervention. The differences occurred in the knee was less affected and the hip was more affected. We concluded that 11 weeks of NW training promoted similarities in gait parameters and improved knee and hip angular parameters for PD subjects.

Published: December 2019

Understanding the spatial-temporal dynamics of evapotranspiration in relation to climate change and human activities is crucial for the sustainability of water resources and ecosystem security, especially in regions strongly influenced by human impact. In this study, a process-based evapotranspiration (ET) model in conjunction with the Global Land Surface Satellite (GLASS) LAI dataset was used to characterize the spatial-temporal pattern of evapotranspiration from 1982 to 2016 over the Gan River basin (GRB), the largest sub-basin of the Poyang Lake catchment, China. The results showed that the actual annual ET (ETa) weakly increased with an annual trend of 0.88 mm year−2 from 1982 to 2016 over the GRB, along with a slight decline in annual potential ET (ETp). On an ecosystem scale; however, only the evergreen broadleaved forest and cropland presented a positive ETa trend, while the rest of the ecosystems demonstrated negative trends of ETa. Both correlation analysis and sensitivity analysis revealed a close relationship between ETa inter-annual variability and energy availability. Attribution analysis illustrated that contributions of climate change and vegetation greening on the ETa trend were −0.48 mm year−2 and 1.36 mm year−2, respectively. Climate change had a negative impact on the ETa trend over the GRB. However, the negative effects have been offset by the positive effects of vegetation greening, which mainly resulted from the large-scale revegetation in forestland and agricultural practices in cropland. It is concluded that large-scale afforestation and agricultural management were the main drivers of the long-term evolution of water consumption over the GRB. This study can improve our understanding of the interactive effects of climate change and human activities on the long-term evolution of water cycles.

Published: December 2019

The ways of increasing the sensitivity of a non-selective thermal radiation receiver based on cadmium antimony using the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction are considered and investiga­ted. It has been shown that the application of ani­sotropic NdFeB anisotropic magnet increases the volt-watt sensitivity of the thermal radiation recei­ver by 30 %. When a more powerful magnet is used, an additional increase in sensitivity is observed, but not in proportion to the magnitude of the additio­nal magnetic induction. The dynamic range of the created thermal radiation receiver, which is from 10 to 200000 W/m-2, is investigated.
A Pedagogia de Rousseau e sua crítica à educação na França do século XVIII

Published: November 2019

Este artigo analisa a crítica realizada pelo filósofo Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) acerca do cenário educacional da França do século XVIII. Opondo-se à educação de sua época, sobretudo àquela conduzida por grupos religiosos, como o dos Jesuítas e dos Lassalistas, o que o filósofo propôs foi uma educação que priorizava o homem, bem como o seu autoconhecimento como condição indispensável para o encontro de sua felicidade. Segundo ele, o movimento iluminista e sua crença na razão não teriam por si só as condi- ções necessárias para formar o homem integralmente, tampouco as instituições vigentes, sendo necessário o retorno aos valores intrínsecos ao homem dispostos pela natureza. Pela metodologia Histórico-crítica, se conclui que Rousseau lançou as bases de sua teoria confiando os primeiros passos da educação à natureza do homem. Por ela, ele retomava a abordagem naturalista, ao mesmo tempo em que negava a educação religiosa, rompia com o Iluminismo e fazia da educação um ato político.

O século XIX, no Brasil, teve como marco importante a Proclamação da República, que trouxe descobertas e inovações para o período. Nesse contexto, a modernização educacional brasileira adotou elementos importados da Europa e dos Estados Unidos para atuarem na política escolar do novo regime. A prática pedagógica de João Köpke se fez presente nesse momento, configurando um trabalho intenso que buscava novas formas de ensinar a ler e a escrever através, sobretudo, do método analítico. Nesse entremeio, ele ainda escreveu literatura para crianças sem o caráter moralizante da época, o que aconteceu no seu manuscrito, que sequer foi editado, Versos para os pequeninos, produzido entre 1886 e 1897. Assim, objetivamos discorrer sobre as contribuições de Köpke tanto no cenário educacional, quanto no literário, observando sua importância nessas duas searas e realizando paralelos entre elas. Para isso, nos valemos de autores como Panizzolo (2006), Mortatti (2015) e Ferreira (2017).

O procedimento metodológico é de caráter documental tendo como fontes os documentos oficiais do estado e do Instituto Gentil Bittencourt (1909) e outras. Sobre a atuação das congregações religiosas na prática de abrigamento e educação da infância no Brasil nos séculos XIX e XX temos como aporte teórico Rizzini (2009), Boschilia (2005) entre outros. Os resultados da análise das fontes revelaram que a referida congregação foi fundamental para o projeto de formação da nova sociedade Brasileira, a partir de sua política de amparo e educação de meninas pobres no Pará, para torná-las seguidoras dos princípios cristãos e exemplos de mulher para a família.
Entre a pesquisa administrada e a prática do artesão
Authors: Taborda de Oliveira Marcus Aurelio
Published: November 2019

O ensaio discute alguns dos limites impostos à aventura da investigação pela burocratização acadêmica que define a pesquisa em tempos de sociedade administrada. Defende a necessária recuperação do papel intelectual do pesquisador, destacando alguns elementos considerados es- senciais para o seu labor: o tempo, o ócio; o silêncio; a solidão; o compartilhamento. Conclui que, negados aqueles elementos a pesquisa, na forma como está organizada e institucionalizada, hoje, tornou-se uma das esferas da burocratização do pensamento, contribuindo para uma postura tec- nocrática anti-investigativa, que contribui para aniquilar a curiosidade, a dúvida e o enfrentamento da ignorância que o ato de investigar deveria fomentar.

Este trabalho tem por objetivos apresentar a seção da Espanha na primeira exposição pedagógica do Rio de Janeiro, pensando o circuito transnacional de transferência de saberes por meio dos intercâmbios internacionais voltados à educação. Trata-se de um estudo das classificações de co- nhecimentos feitas para a exposição dos produtos indicados à venda. Quais foram as orientações de sentidos dados pela exposição espanhola? Quais foram os materiais apresentados? Pensando o debate sobre tais exposições como recurso de comparação educacional feita entre as nações foram estudados os trabalhos de Warde (2000), Ossenbach e Pozo (2011) e Matasci (2016). Para tanto, foram estudados o Guia para visitantes da Exposição Pedagógica (1883), diferentes comen- tários publicados na imprensa, documentos oficiais, entre outros. Destaca-se o esforço do país em atender os pedidos feitos pelo governo brasileiro em privilegiar o ensino primário e apresentar grandes quantidades de materiais para o ensino de surdos e cegos.
O Desenho na formação de professores:

Published: November 2019

Neste texto é apresentada uma discussão a respeito da disciplina Desenho posta na formação de professores primários paulistas por meio de um exame da produção de Cimbelino de Freitas. Usa como principal referencial teórico os estudos de Hosftetter, Schneuwly e Freymond (2017) sobre a constituição de saberes profissionais da docência via experts e de Valente (2019) para o tratamento específico dos saberes profissionais dos professores que ensinam matemática. Os resultados apontam que o desenho do natural aparece como uma matemática para ensinar, um saber necessário para o ensino do Desenho. O que caracteriza assim a objetivação de um novo saber para a formação profissional destes professores.

Com o objetivo de contribuir para o debate sobre a “Política Nacional de Alfabetização” (PNA), instituída em 11 de abril de 2019, apresentam-se reflexões sobre essa “política de Estado”, na perspectiva da história da alfabetização no Brasil. Com base na análise de principais aspectos da configuração textual de fontes documentais em que a PNA está sintetizada, propõe-se interpretar sua “politicidade intrínseca” por meio do entrecruzamento de ao menos três possibilidades de sentidos — como “querela dos métodos”, “guerra dos métodos/ cruzada ideológica” e um caso de “sciencefare” — relacionados entre si e com a disputa por hegemonia de um projeto político-ideo- lógico neoliberal e ultraconservador em implementação no país.
Circulación de niños. Entre actuaciones estatales e iniciativas populares
Authors: Barna Agustín
Published: December 2019

En este artículo, a partir de la reconstrucción y análisis en profundidad de una situación etnográfica enmarcada en una investigación en un servicio local de Protección de Derechos de Niños del conurbano bonaerense, se pretende caracterizar algunas dimensiones significativas de las modalidades contemporáneas de gestión de la infancia en la era de sus derechos. Se reconstruyen aquí interacciones que, en el marco de horizontes normativos y morales que ponderan la “corresponsabilidad” y la “participación comunitaria” en la “restitución de derechos de niños”, exponen particulares imbricaciones en las que determinadas actuaciones estatales se sobreimprimen sobre un repertorio de iniciativas populares ligadas a relaciones de ayuda mutua y proximidad. De este modo, prácticas sociales como la circulación de niños exponen una configuración profundamente compleja e híbrida, en la que confluyen, en grados diversos, productividad estatal e iniciativas populares; formalidad e informalidad; perdurabilidad y mutabilidad; adopción, guardas y fosterage.
“Nuestro norte son los niños”. Subjetividades políticas y colectivización del cuidado infantil en organizaciones sociales del Gran Buenos Aires
Authors: Santillán Laura
Published: December 2019

En este artículo nos proponemos analizar las nociones de infancia que distintos actores sociopolíticos ponen en juego en barrios populares del área metropolitana bonaerense. Nos referimos a iniciativas impulsadas por pobladores, voluntarios y militantes políticos que se han planteado una propuesta colectivizada del cuidado de los niños y las niñas. El análisis busca documentar los modos en que la elaboración de qué significan los niños y cuáles son sus necesidades tienen lugar conforme se moldean y gestan las subjetividades políticas de quienes impulsan las obras. Este proceso, lejos de quedar restringido a los adultos, involucra de lleno a los niños, quienes participan activamente de la construcción de las acciones que los tienen por objeto y del reconocimiento de sus necesidades. Nos basaremos en el registro proveniente del trabajo de campo antropológico y etnográfico que llevamos adelante desde el año 2001 en la zona norte y noroeste del Gran Buenos Aires.
Effect of feeds with different crude fiber content on the performance of meat goose
Authors: Dobos Ádám , Bársony Péter , Posta János , Babinszky László
Published: December 2019

In the last 50 years, poultry meat production has increased dynamically. The role of crude fiber content in feed is unclear based on a small amount of literature about goose feeding.

The aim of theis experiment was to determine how various crude fiber content (55; 60; 65g crude fiber/kg feed) influences the performance of meat geese in the second phase of the rearing period. 150 goslings (3 treatments, 5 cages/treatment, 10 birds/cage) were included in the test. The experiment started and finished at the age of 21st and 63rd  day, respectively.

The obtained results suggest that various crude fiber content did not influence the performance of meat geese significantly; however, a feed of 55g crude fiber/kg resulted in better fattening results (final body weight, body weight gain, specific feed protein and energy conversion rate). In addition, compound feed of 65g crude fiber/kg proved more favourable with respect to cost-efficiency. Based on the obtained results so far, further models and farm experiments are required.
