U źródeł świętości. Wokół problemu początków kultu św. Teodozego - ihumena Ławry Peczerskiej w Kijowie
Authors: Bartnicki Mariusz
Published: December 2022

Artykuł został poświęcony okolicznościom powstania kultu św. Teodozego, ihumena klasztoru kijowsko-peczerskego. W tekście dokonano analizy zachowanych tekstów źródłowych (Powieści minionych lat, Pateryku kijowsko-peczerskiego) dotyczących okoliczności translacji szczątków Teodozego do klasztornej cerkwi Zaśniecia Bogurodzicy, która w przekonaniu wielu badaczy stała się zaczynem kultu wspomnianego świętego. Rozpatrzenie wspomnianego zagadnienia pozwoliło na postawienie tezy, że wydarzenia z 1091 r. mogły wynikać z prozaicznych powodów – prawa ihumena do pochówku w cerkwi klasztornej, jak również faktu, że był on jednym z inicjatorów budowy wspomnianej świątyni. Obserwacje tekstologiczne pozwoliły również podać w wątpliwość prezentowaną w Powieści minionych lat chronologię zdarzeń związanych z kształtowaniem się kultu św. Teodozego, dla której osnową był, jak można przypuszczać, Żywot św. Teodora Studyty. Początek kultu św. Teodozego wiązał się z przemianami kulturowymi, których pierwsze symptomy widać na Rusi w pierwszym dziesięcioleciu XII w. Wówczas to metropolita kijowski Nikifor I, na polecenie księcia Świętopełka i prośby ówczesnego ihumena klasztoru peczerskiego Teoktysta, wpisał imię Teodozego do Syondyku, oficjalnie zaliczając go do grona świętych Kościoła Rusi Kijowskiej.

Published: December 2022

Ante la superposición del espacio digital, el significado de los lugares propios de la cotidianeidad se ha transformado profundamente en las ciudades del siglo XXI. Por lo tanto, resulta indispensable explicar desde la Arquitectura la reconfiguración actual de la espacialidad doméstica y urbana. El acercamiento, por medio de entrevistas semiestructuradas, permitió la inmersión a este fenómeno desde la percepción de los habitantes de la ciudad de San Luis Potosí, México, encontrando que la rapidez con la que se imponen nuevos patrones de conducta no permite la reflexión crítica sobre lo que implica el desprendimiento del espacio físico.

In this study, the geopolymer from fly ash as based-raw material has been examined on the ability of several heavy metal ions immobilization. The fly ash has been provided from PT IPMOMI which firstly analyzed the physical and chemical properties. Fly ash and heavy metals were mixed with an activator base until homogeneous, then cast into a cylindrical shape mold following ASTM C 39-86 and left for 7 days. After that, the geopolymer was characterized by SEM, FTIR, XRD, compressive strength test and TCLP. The diffractogram of PT. IPMOMI fly ash exhibited the existence of mullite, alumina and iron oxide phase, which were suitable with XRF result. From FTIR spectra, the vibration on finger print area appeared indicating the vibration of T-O-T from geopolymer network. The observation revealed that the addition of Pb2+ cations caused microcracking from SEM image and affected the compressive strength of the geopolymer. Sr2+ was an ion that was very easilyleached compared to other three ions, and it caused a weak interaction between Sr2+ and geopolymer network. The higher amount of metal ions into the geopolymer network reduced the compressive strength of geopolymer. Sr2+-geopolymer had a lower compressive strength compared to Pb2+, Cd2+, and Co2+.

Published: December 2022

This work proposes a novel integrated process for second-generation bioethanol production with an approach simulated in Aspen HYSYS®. Rice husk and dairy whey were used to revalorize for this bioprocess. The energy recovery of the bioprocess was optimized using the Pinch method; savings of 45.45% and 100% were obtained for heating and cooling utilities, respectively, concerning the process without a heat exchange network (HEN). It was possible to compare the costs of mutually exclusive alternatives between the process alternatives with andwithout HEN. The capital investment with HEN was similar to the process without HEN. Instead, savings by 77.8% of utility costs per year was found in the process with HEN. A differential cash flow for ten years was generated, and a positive differential net present value (NPV) was determined. Therefore, HEN is an economically convenient and environmentally friendly option since energy consumption reduction canminimize environmental damage.
Penanda Afiks Pada Verba dan Nomina Bahasa Arab Fusha dan Dialek Qatar Dalam Lagu Dreamers Oleh Fahad Al Kubaisi: Analisis Kontrastif
Authors: Fauzan Aziman Muhammad
Published: December 2022

Secara umum bahasa Arab formal atau yang disebut bahasa Fusha adalah bahasa yang selalu dipelajari dan digunakan dalam dunia pendidikan. Secara umum lagu Arab dinyanyikan menggunakan bahasa Arab Modern (amiyah). Pada lagu dreamers yang merupakan soundtrack resmi piala dunia FIFA 2022 terdapat bagian yang dinyanyikan oleh Fahad Al Kubaisi, seorang penyanyi Qatar. Uniknya lirik lagu ini menggunakan bahasa Arab Fusha, akan tetapi dinyanyikan dengan dialek Qatar yang menjadikannya sulit dipahami sebagian orang. Metode pengumpulan data yang dilakukan dengan cara mendengarkan kemudian menulis lirik lagu yang dinyanyikan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan analisis kontrastif. Studi kontrastif digunakan untuk mengetahui perbedaan yang mencolok dari kedua bahasa tersebut. Ditinjau dari paradigma ilmu morfologi, hasil yang didapatkan bahwa terjadi perubahan pada penandaan afiks baik dalam verba ataupun nomina yang terdapat pada lirik lagu. Afiks dibedakan menjadi beberapa macam dari segi posisinya, diantaranya (1) prefiks, (2) infiks, dan (3) sufiks. Dalam tataran verba dialek Qatar yang terdapat pada lirik lagu ini, penandaan afiks pada modus seperti indikatif, subjungtif, dan jusif, begitupun penandaan nominatif, genitif, dan akusatif pada kasus nomina tidak dapat diketahui tanda dan ciri khasnya. Hal inilah yang melatar belakangi perbedaan kontras dari kedua bahasa tersebut.
Ethnobotany: Methodological notes
Authors: Martins Adriana de Magalhães Chaves , Ming Lin Chau , Morais Lilia Aparecida Salgado de , Jantalia Cláudia Pozzi
Published: December 2022

Ethnobotany is the science or discipline that studies the interrelationship between individuals, populations or human societies and flora. This work was carried out through bibliographical research in several electronic bases in order to identify concepts, methods of approach and research techniques in ethnobotany, with emphasis on free listings and salience index. Among the main conceptual results identified are the inseparability between society, culture and environment; the ability to generate knowledge by associating traditional and scientific knowledge; the potential to create alternatives to mitigate social and environmental impacts and damage and interdisciplinarity. There is diversity and coverage in the objects of study that can be carried out with traditional populations or not; industrialized companies or not; urban and rural populations. Research with medicinal plants has been widely verified. According to the studies surveyed, the researches tend to an applied nature and a variable theoretical-methodological framework, according to the object of study. Ethnobotany contains an essential descriptive methodological aspect. Quantitative and qualitative methods and techniques are used separately or associated. However, this descriptive knowledge is not sufficient, as a theoretical reference, to answer research questions that aim at explanations. For the knowledge of an explanatory nature, it is necessary to have a broader theoretical knowledge for the elaboration of the research, formulation of hypotheses and in the choice of the methods used.

Authors: Gonçalves Cláudio , Moreira Carlos , Ferreira Deolinda , Neves Edivan , Bacelar Larissa , Mourão Andreza
Published: December 2022

This article presents a proposal for a methodology to classify the types of steps, using piezoelectric sensors embedded in an ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) insole, configuring a low-cost intelligent insole. From a few steps or a walk by the user, the electrical signals generated by the piezoelectric sensors are measured or stored for later treatment and analysis. The steps of the proposed methodology were applied step by step in tests carried out to classify the types of footsteps of male and female users, who used the intelligent insoles built into running shoes. The proposed methodology was also implemented in a computational code that was applied to classify the types of steps in the performed tests. The step classification results were satisfactory, compared with the specialized literature. It should be noted that the classification obtained from the application of the methodology is a suggestion of the type of footfall from an engineering point of view, and the result should be evaluated by a specialized health professional.
The Imperial Academy of Arts and Moscow’s Life Class in the Era of Nicholas I
Authors: Kalugina Ol'ga
Published: December 2022

The paper, based on newly published sources, analyzes the initial stage of the formation of Moscow art school, namely, the Life, and then the Art class and Moscow School of Painting and Sculpture. This process unfolded during the reign of Emperor Nicholas I and with his undoubted support. In the light of new information, the relationship between the Imperial Academy of Arts and the Moscow educational institution appears completely different than it was traditionally presented based on the critical speeches of V.V. Stasov. It is obvious that without the comprehensive and gratuitous support of the Imperial Academy of Arts, Moscow school could not have grown to the level of a full-fledged art educational institution, which the Art Class became in the last quarter of the 19th–20th centuries.

Authors: Evstratova Marianna , Koluzakov Sergey
Published: December 2022

As part of the study “Komsomolskaya-Koltsevaya Metro Station. The project of architect A.V. Shchusev”, the authors investigate the birth of the idea of one of the best Moscow’s metro stations. Komsomolskaya-Koltsevaya is considered as part of the urban-planning ensemble of Komsomolskaya Square and as a kind of continuation of the architectural ensemble of Kazan railway station. The station was dedicated to the victory in the Great Patriotic War and was created in the Russian style, reflecting the rise of the national consciousness of the winners. This dedication also left an imprint on its architecture and decoration. The Russian-style pro­jects brought Shchusev fame even before the October Revolution. After the revolution, the architect turned to this direction again in a number of his works, the last of which was Komsomolskaya-Koltsevaya. Shchusev's participation in the creation of the Moscow Metro since the 1920s has also been considered, a number of metro facilities co-engineered by Shchusev have been identified. The new data present a completely different picture of the early metro station design.

Islamic Accounting on Local Wisdom: Interpreting the Payable Concept in the Bhubuwan Tradition
Authors: Maulida Merlina , Leniwati Driana , Oktavendi Tri Wahyu
Published: December 2022

Bhubuwan is the money-giving tradition during a celebration within the Bangkalan community of Madura, East Java. The funds were deemed payable and must be returned at future events of a similar nature. This study aims to delve into the meaning of ‘payable’ in the Bhubuwan tradition in light of Islamic values such as friendship, brotherhood, trust, generosity, and sincerity. Data is gathered through observation, interviews, and documentation review. The informants are members of the local community who have participated in and comprehended the significance of the Bhubuwan tradition. The data is analyzed qualitatively using Miles and Huberman's four stages. The findings show that the term payable is interpreted in a broader context, not just as an obligation, as the existing accounting concept implies, but also as a family relationship and a measure of mutual tolerance and trust. There is also no additional nominal repayment obligation. The value of trust between communities in debt and credit transactions also supports the fact that this tradition has adopted the concept of sharia accounting over the years and has become a part of the local culture. It is expected that the concept of payable in the Bhubuwan tradition will change how humans view accounting concepts in general, particularly those related to payable.========================================================================================================ABSTRAK - Bhubuwan adalah tradisi pemberian uang dalam suatu acara hajatan pada masyarakat Bangkalan Madura, Jawa Timur. Pemberian tersebut dianggap sebagai ‘hutang’ dan akan dikembalikan pada kejadian serupa di masa yang akan datang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggali makna hutang dalam tradisi Bhubuwan yang dihubungkan dengan nilai-nilai Islam seperti persahabatan, persaudaraan, kepercayaan, kedermawanan, dan ketulusan. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara, dan telaah dokumentasi. Informan adalah anggota masyarakat setempat yang telah berpartisipasi dan memahami tradisi Bhubuwan. Data dianalisis secara kualitatif dengan menggunakan empat tahapan metode Miles dan Huberman. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa istilah hutang dalam tradisi ini ditafsirkan dalam konteks yang lebih luas, tidak hanya sebagai kewajiban seperti dalam konsep akuntansi, tetapi juga dimaknai sebagai hubungan keluarga, dan sebagai toleransi dan saling percaya. Selain itu, tidak ada penambahan nominal dalam pelunasan hutang. Nilai kepercayaan antar masyarakat dalam transaksi hutang dan kredit juga mendukung fakta bahwa tradisi ini telah mengadopsi konsep akuntansi syariah selama bertahun-tahun dan telah menjadi bagian dari budaya lokal. Konsep hutang dalam tradisi Bhubuwan diharapkan akan mengubah cara pandang manusia terhadap konsep akuntansi secara umum, khususnya yang berkaitan dengan hutang.
Cartographies of Difference: Inventing Difference in Amitav Ghosh’s The Shadow Lines
Authors: Roy Suravi
Published: December 2022

The central image in Amitav Ghosh’s novel The Shadow Lines (1988) is that of the “upside-down house”. The “upside-down house” was a product of a notional exercise undertaken by Thamma, the narrator’s grandmother, when she was a young girl. When their ancestral home was partitioned with a wall due to persistent familial disputes, the young children of the family found it difficult to cope with the now hostile environment. In response, Thamma invented stories about the portion of the house that belonged to their Jethamoshai, her father’s elder brother. The stories told herein are absurd and comical, but they contain a deeper social message, as they suggest that such irrational narratives are indispensable when drawing lines and erecting walls that separate people and communities from each other. As such, the upside-down house becomes a metaphor for the consequences of the Partition that shook the Indian sub-continent in 1947, when two communities that had long co-existed suddenly found themselves on opposite sides of an arbitrarily drawn fence. Collateral to the metaphor is the intimation that, in order to sustain myths of nations and nationalism, the interested players need to concoct narratives of difference and othering. Through the image of the “upside-down house”, this paper seeks to explore questions of home, nation and borders as depicted in The Shadow Lines.
Decipher Symptoms of Asperger Syndrome: Role of Early Intervention in Colin Fischer
Authors: M Preetha
Published: December 2022

Historically, few important writers have focused on the developmental disorders of their characters. In recent years, however, there has been a growing interest in representing the life of people diagnosed with neuro developmental conditions such as autistic spectrum disorders. In the novel Colin Fischer, Ashley Edward Miller and Zack Stentz give voice to an Aspergian named Colin Fischer. While identifying how the symptoms of the syndrome are expressed in Colin, this paper examines this complex and unique protagonist and the way in which home-based intervention plays a significant role in his personal development. Colin demonstrates how individuals diagnosed with Asperger’s face multiple challenges, but there is often something in which they excel. His extraordinary memory and his skill in accomplishing diverse tasks that most people would find boring are astonishing; they focus on Colin’s quiet dignity in the face of constant victimisation. The social message is that it is crucial to develop these skills in order to make the individual self-confident and successful.

Hyperprolific authors in the top 2% scientists of the world
Authors: Abduh Akira J
Published: December 2022

Scientific publication metrics  are commonly used to assess the quality
of scientific publications and works. These metrics can be used to
assess the caliber and significance of a scientific publication as well
as the productivity and accomplishment of a scientist’s study. Citation
metrics and the quantity of papers are closely associated,
notwithstanding the importance of citations. Studies suggest many
scientists are capable of publishing a scientific publication in just
five days. This study critically investigates these so-called hyper
prolific authors using the Stanford top 2% world scientists database.
The findings clearly show that certain authors publish, on average,
100–200 publications annually, even those with a single author. A
closer inspection uncovers this top 2% database’s weakness and the fact
that these authors from the field of medicine are actually journalists.
Even Nobel laureates were ranked lower than some of these journalists.
Subsequent inquiry reveals certain related researchers who publish more
than 100 articles in environmental sciences per year and set records for
the most highly cited papers ever. In order to ensure that the process
of publishing a paper is carried out honestly and that the search of
knowledge is not hampered by personal interests, it is decided that the
scientific community has to develop ethical norms and procedures
regarding the number of publications.

Software and data citation are emerging best practices in scholarly
communication.

This article provides structured guidance to the academic publishing
community on how to implement software and data citation in publishing
workflows. These best practices support the verifiability and
reproducibility of scientific results; sharing and reuse of valuable
data and software tools, and attribution to the creators of the software
and data.

While data citation is increasingly well-established, software citation
is rapidly maturing. With the current intensive use of software,
including specialized tools and models for scientific research problems,
the research community has begun to recognize that software, as a key
research result and resource, requires the same level of transparency,
accessibility, and disclosure as data.

Software and data that support scientific results should be preserved
and shared in scientific repositories for discovery, transparency, and
use by other researchers. These goals can be supported by citing these
products in the Reference Section of papers and effectively associating
them to the software and data preserved in scientific repositories.
Publishers need to mark up these references in a specific way to enable
downstream processes, specifically those that enable automated
attribution.

Academic publishers wishing to stay current with best practices in the
field are encouraged to follow the guidance provided here.
Vibroseis acquisition with fully controllable sweep signals based on borehole VSP data analysis
Authors: Korotkov Ilya , Zhukov Alexander , Nekrasov Igor
Published: December 2022

This paper presents a method that allows designing a seismic signal with
any signature with particular frequency and phase characteristics and
then emits it into the geological environment as a sweep using a seismic
vibrator equipped with the improved controller. The method includes
calculating inverse filter impulse responses from broadband  VSP data
and converting these impulses to equivalent sweep signals for their
application during new both VSP and surface seismic surveys. We carried
out first VSP, then a 3D surface seismic survey with borehole and
surface sweeps thus providing a natural integration of surface and
borehole seismic methods.  The new, fully controlled sweep signals
acquisition compensates for signal propagation through geological media
and significantly improves both VSP and surface seismic results.
Applying triangular correlation of angular deviation in muon scattering tomography for multi-block materials via GEANT4 simulations
Authors: Topuz Ahmet Ilker , Topuz A Ilker , Kiisk Madis , Giammanco Andrea
Published: December 2022

The possibility to exploit the muon scattering for the elemental discrimination of materials in a given volume is well known. When more than one material is present along the muon path, it is often important to discern the order in which they are stacked. The scattering angle due to the target volume can be split into two interior angles in the tomo-graphic setups based on the muon scattering, and we call this property as the triangular correlation where the sum of these two interior angles is equal to the scattering angle. In this study, we apply this triangular correlation for a multi-block material configuration that consist of concrete, stainless steel, and uranium. By changing the order of this material set, we employ the GEANT4 simulations and we show that the triangular correlation is valid in the multi-block material setups, thereby providing the possibility of supportive information for the coarse prediction of the material order in such configurations.
Indication of subsurface seawater intrusion into the Indus delta, Sindh, Pakistan
Authors: Solangi Ghulam Shabir , Siyal Altaf Ali , Siyal Pirah
Published: December 2022

Due to climate change impacts, seawater intrusion is a major issue in various river deltas around the globe, including the Indus delta, Pakistan. The seawater intrusion has severely affected the freshwater resources as well as the livelihood of the people living in the Indus delta. Thus, this study was aimed to evaluate the subsurface seawater intrusion into the Indus delta based on the groundwater quality data. Around 180 groundwater samples, randomly collected from the study area, were analyzed for chloride, carbonate, and bicarbonate concentrations. Based on these concentrations, the indication of subsurface seawater intrusion was determined using Simpson’s ratio and ionic analysis, such as the ratio of chloride to bicarbonate. Also, an interpolated map using the analysis results of these ratios was developed using ArcGIS 10.5. Overall, the present study revealed that about 88% of the Indus delta is affected by the subsurface seawater intrusion. Also, the impact of subsurface seawater intrusion was observed in the wells near the Thatta and Sujawal towns of the study area. However, about 12% of the delta is still unaffected by the subsurface seawater intrusion. Various factors such as reduction in freshwater flow into the delta, climate change, sea-level rise are potential causes of subsurface seawater intrusion in the study area. This study may be taken as a baseline by the policymakers to start mitigation measures against the degradation of the delta to save the environment from further deterioration. Also, further an isotopic analysis of subsurface seawater intrusion in the study area is recommended.
A new family of twentieth order convergent methods with applications to nonlinear systems in engineering
Authors: Abro Hameer Akhtar , Shaikh Muhammad Mujtaba
Published: December 2022

A new family of iterative methods with a strong converging order of twenty to solve nonlinear equations and systems is presented in this study. A simple strategy of blending some existing methods is used to develop the proposed family. The theoretical order of convergence is derived by employing Taylor’s series. The performance of the iterative methods in the proposed family is examined by applying the methods on real-world engineering problems. A nonlinear equation modeled by NASA for launching “Wind” satellite and some other complex applied systems, such as combustion problem, tank-reactor problem, kinematic synthesis mechanism, neurophysiology application and one boundary-value problem, have been solved to check the performance of the proposed family against other methods under similar test conditions. All the numerical results show that the proposed family converges very fast in complex and difficult problems as compared to other well-known methods. The methods in the proposed family have an efficiency improvement of 11.99% over the classical Newton method for scalar nonlinear equations.
Mathematical modeling and optimization of wastewater stabilization ponds using nonlinear programming
Authors: Ali Hafiz Qasim , Üçüncü Osman
Published: December 2022

This research work proposes a mathematical optimization model for constructing two ponds (1. Facultative pond and 2. Maturation pond) provided in series. The model uses concrete volume as its objective minimization function. There were two decision variables; the first was the detention time (DT) and the second in the list was the number of provided baffle walls (NBW) in both ponds. The constraint parameters include fecal coliforms and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5). The model was applied with the help of an Add-Ins of MS Office: Excel solver. The generalized reduced gradient algorithm was utilized in the solver (GRG). Before applying the mathematical optimization model, ponds were designed with the conventional method and then using optimized values of the variables. A comparison of the findings reveals that a 13.79 percent reduction in the DT, an 11.55 percent reduction in the area, and a 7.19 percent reduction in the volume of concrete occurred. The reduction values mentioned above are significant since these systems' fundamental drawback is the area's requirement. In addition, sensitivity analyses of the objective function and the removal of pollutants are also provided. The model described above is sensitive to variations in the parameters. Both analyses demonstrated that the effluent characteristics comply with the class-B irrigation standards in Turkey. It is advised to do more optimization studies for WSPs with the help of other algorithms and tools available in the literature for distinct wastewater treatment plants.

Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) strengthening is a possible option when the load carrying capacity of a structure needs to be increased for various reasons. On the other hand, the focus nowadays aims to save the environment by reducing the waste material. A suggestion was made to use waste concrete as an aggregate. If this new material was used more, it would be possible to use recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) and carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) to strengthen reinforced concrete (RC) structures and make them more environmentally friendly. An experimental investigation study on the shear behaviour of RC beams strengthened with CFRP strips was carried out. Tests were conducted on six reinforced concrete beams, with variations in the replacement ratio of RCA and strengthened by different configurations of CFRP under four-point loading. The results indicated that the load carrying capacity was increased, on average, by 18.09 and 35.04% for beams strengthened with CFRP with an inclined strip (IS) and continuous strip (CS) configurations respectively. The results also indicated that the increases in the stiffness were 21.08 and 37.31 for beams strengthened with CFRP in the IS and CS configurations, respectively. In addition the ductility of the beams increased after strengthening.

Genetics is the basis for the development of biology and other sciences related to biology. The decline in traits or heredity has received the attention of many researchers. Monohybrid crosses are simple crosses that only pay attention to one trait or sign of difference. The purpose of this study was to prove the Mendelian comparison in F2 monohybrid crosses. This research was conducted using 50 pairs of peanuts which were given different colors. A monohybrid cross is a cross that involves one different trait. This experiment was conducted to find out how the genes are paired in crosses. Based on the experimental results to prove Mendel's 1st law, it can be concluded that the F2 cross was carried out 3 times so that finally the cross resulted in a genotypic comparison.
Utilização do displacement map na criação de recursos auxiliares à educação inclusiva para Pessoas com Deficiência Visual

Globalmente, cerca de 2,2 bilhões de pessoas possuem algum tipo de deficiência visual. Em um mundo cercado e priorizado por informações visuais, o comprometimento da visão pode acarretar em dificuldades no desenvolvimento pleno do indivíduo. Na educação, encontra-se uma carência de recursos táteis, o que dificulta o processo de aprendizagem desses indivíduos. Nesse contexto, o presente artigo teve como objetivo apresentar a aplicação da ferramenta displacement map para a conversão de imagens bidimensionais em tridimensionais no desenvolvimento de recursos assistivos para auxílio à educação inclusiva para Pessoas com Deficiência Visual (PDV). Para tanto, a pesquisa foi dividida em duas fases, são elas: fase 1 (compreensão), que consistiu na realização do referencial teórico; enquanto a fase 2 (aplicação), se refere a parte prática da pesquisa. Esta etapa foi guiada pelo GODP – Guia de Orientação para Desenvolvimento de Projetos. Inicialmente, buscou-se compreender as demandas de uma instituição que atende PDV, os passos seguintes estão relacionados com a realizações dos testes, tanto com o displacement map, quanto com a impressão 3D. Por fim, foram realizadas avaliações com os usuários para validar a utilização da ferramenta. A partir disso, evidenciou-se que o displacement possui potencial para agilizar a modelagem tridimensional de recursos educacionais através da conversão automática de imagens bidimensionais em tridimensionais. Assim, pode-se concluir que a materialização dos modelos gerados a partir do displacement possibilitou que usuários compreendessem as formas e símbolos presentes, bem como a altura das extrusões se apresentou de forma satisfatória para a compreensão das imagens, possibilitando que a ferramenta possa ser utilizada no desenvolvimento de recursos educacionais para auxiliar não apenas PDV, mas também pessoas que não possuem deficiência. Essa perspectiva está relacionada com as bases da Educação Inclusiva, assim como se alinha aos objetivos do Design Inclusivo/Universal. Por fim, a pesquisa não esgota a possibilidade de novos estudos relacionados com a aplicação do displacement map.
Inserção de práticas do design centrado no usuário em uma organização de desenvolvimento de sistemas e-Gov: uma abordagem de pesquisa-ação

Com base no cenário da economia digital é perceptível o crescimento no setor de software e serviços de tecnologia da informação e comunicação. Como consequência, as pessoas mudam seus hábitos de consumo e formas de utilizar produtos e serviços. Um dos segmentos afetados por essas mudanças é o governo. Para acompanhar essas transformações, o governo precisa desenvolver sistemas que possibilitem a interação entre governo e cidadão. Uma das formas desta interação ocorrer é através do governo eletrônico (e-Gov). Para desenvolver os sistemas, o governo necessita realizar contratações ou instalar empresas (ex.: CELEPAR). Por intermédio de uma demanda apresentada por uma gerente da CELEPAR, concretizamos uma parceria e vinculamos em um projeto de pesquisa por meio da pesquisa-ação (PA). Através da PA, buscamos desenvolver uma proposta participativa de ações visando a inserção de práticas do design centrado no usuário (DCU) no processo de desenvolvimento de sistemas (PDS) e-Gov desta organização. Para tanto, dividimos as fases da PA em: Explorar, Agir, Finalizar e uma fase transversal para realizar mediações teórico-conceituais. Na fase Explorar, executamos um diagnóstico inicial e construímos a problematização e formulação de suposições. Na fase Agir, em um processo cíclico, composto por planejamento, execução e avaliação de ações, conduzimos intervenções na organização para inserir práticas do DCU durante o PDS e-Gov. Na fase Finalizar, sintetizamos as informações coletadas durante todo o processo da PA em forma de um relatório final entregue para a organização. As principais ações desenvolvidas estavam atreladas a disseminar e instruir sobre conhecimentos do DCU. Por intermédio da participação de diferentes áreas internas, houve uma mobilização para sensibilizar e internalizar o assunto, resultando em novos produtos disponíveis para os colaboradores da organização, e com isso, ampliar o conhecimento de como inserir o DCU durante o PDS e-Gov. Além disso, durante o processo cíclico da PA foi possível constatar obstáculos para efetivar a inserção do DCU, destacando-se a falta de integração entre equipes, o acúmulo de papéis, a revisão de papéis e funções, as resistências internas, a falta de condições viáveis (ex.: cronograma curto, relação entre equipe-cliente-usuário), e a formação e qualificação da equipe de projeto no PDS.
“we are still here holding fast”: Stillness in the wake of Hurricane Irma in Richard Georges’ Epiphaneia
Authors: Gfoellner Barbara
Published: December 2022

This article looks at Richard Georges’ poetry collection Epiphaneia, which is set on the British Virgin Islands in the aftermath of hurricane Irma. While Georges’ poems are placed amidst destruction, they go beyond narratives of devastation; instead, they articulate a poetics of livingness on the hurricane-struck island. This paper first draws out critical debates on the coloniality of climate that show the longue durée and complexity of a history of catastrophe in the Caribbean context. It addresses how Epiphaneia challenges one-sided discourses of island dependency and victimization by offering ways to perceive islands in the Anthropocene not as passive victims of catastrophes but as sites of living within what Glissant calls a chaos-world. This article then advances an ecopoetics of the archipelago in the wake of the hurricane. The various tensions held by the island after the storm will be traced through the word ‘still’: the ongoing violence of coloniality, still present; yet continuously resisted due to the island’s and islanders’ resilience and survival, still alive. This paper explores the poetics emerging from the island in the Anthropocene: What poetics are needed to sustain life after, and within, catastrophe? What does it mean to exist and move, still, on the island in the wake of the hurricane?
