Predictive Analytics for Business Processes in Service Management
Authors: Doganata Yurdaer N. , Lakshmanan Geetika T. , Unuvar Merve
Published: August 2015

Underlying business processes in service management are people intensive and collaborative by nature. We are observing an emerging trend in the service management applications, moving away from rigid process orchestration to leveraging collaboration. Such solutions allow staffers to define their own customized, ad-hoc step flow consisting of the sequence of the activities necessary to handle a service component. These ad-hoc steps introduce uncertainty to the successful completion of a service request. When there is uncertainty, predictive guidance about future outcomes could provide value to the workers handling a time-sensitive service delivery component. Predicting the future outcomes using machine-learning techniques requires effective representation of the process execution traces. This is challenging when process model includes parallel execution flows or repeated executions of some activities. In this chapter, we describe algorithms for training machine learning models when the execution paths include parallel flows and when some activities are repeatedly executed.
An Artificial Neural Network Model as the Decision Support System of Ports
Authors: Balas Can Elmar
Published: August 2015

The new feasibility analysis model proposed in this study for coastal projects consists of three interrelated decision support models: 1) Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to determine the rates and capacity of cargo by considering the economical development of hinterland 2) Queuing model to determine the waiting to service time and the berth occupancy ratios by waiting time modeling of ships using discrete queuing simulation 3) Importance Sampling Monte Carlo (ISMC) to simulate ship arrivals/departures from the quays and to estimate income/expenditure parameters of the coastal project. As a case study, the proposed model was applied to the Iskenderun Pier in Turkey and the future loading/unloading cargo rates of pier were predicted by ANN's. The superiorities of this proposed simulation-ANN model to other classical investment planning methods were the inclusion of uncertainties in the investment parameters like the change of cargo and costs variables in time, and the determination of project benefit/cost with an improved accuracy when compared to classical decision support models.

Authors: Ocalir-Akunal Ebru V.
Published: August 2015

The progress in web based DSS technologies in recent decades has given individuals many opportunities to make their business environments and daily lives so easier that could never been imagined before. Use of traffic information systems are getting wider. In this study, a decision support system for individuals' travel alternatives between any origin and destination points in urban areas is described. The original study is derived from a project prepared for the Ankara Municipality (Turkey). The described project gave individuals opportunity to select among all travel alternatives under different criteria, both for public transport riders and car users. It is a web based DSS, which uses GIS. The Floyd-Warshall algorithm has been used to solve all-pairs shortest path problem. Static data are based on base map, addresses, point of interests, lines, stops, schedules, etc. The dynamic data are received from the online vehicle tracking system. The design of the project is given to help other researchers design their projects according to the requirements specific for their own cities.

Marketing for Social Entrepreneurship
Authors: Chiweshe Nigel
Published: August 2015

Social entrepreneurship has been motivated by the reality that conventional for profit organisations did not have the capacity to address social challenges endemic to society. Further to this the notion of pairing social goals and entrepreneurship is paradoxical in nature. This chapter therefore presents the marketing of social ventures to address social problems. The chapter proposes that this will be done through an in depth understanding of where marketing and social entrepreneurship interact, providing clarity as to what social entrepreneurship is, indicating what is driving social entrepreneurship and developing marketing strategies for social entrepreneurship from the knowledge shared by various writers in the disciplines of entrepreneurship and marketing. Through a critical analysis of the writings of the various researchers the chapter offers a tactical tool to market social ventures and ultimately provide social improvement.
Are Warnings from Online Users Effective?
Authors: Chowdhury Wahida
Published: August 2015

The present research focused on increasing cyber security by reducing users' likelihood of installing Trojan Horses: malware hiding inside attractive software. Social cognition research suggests that reading online security warnings in software reviews from other users could reduce the likelihood of installing malware. In Study 1, 43 computer users viewed 30 reviews of hypothetical games. Half the reviews were malware warnings. Ratings of the warnings' strength were used to select strong and weak warnings for Study 2. In Study 2, 45 computer users viewed descriptions and reviews of real computer games. Results indicated that both the number and strength of malware warnings in reviews influenced the likelihood of installing a game: two warnings reduced ratings of installation likelihood more than did one warning; strong warnings reduced the ratings more than did weak ones. Implications and limitations of the findings for social contributions to influencing cyber behaviour are discussed.

Authors: Toda Masahiro , Nishio Nobuhiro , Ezoe Satoko , Takeshita Tatsuya
Published: August 2015

The authors investigated associations between smartphone use and chronotype. To 196 medical university students, they administered a set of self-reporting questionnaires designed to evaluate smartphone use and chronotype. Respondents were categorized into morning types and evening types: for females, the evening types scored higher for smartphone dependence; the authors also found greater duration of Web browsing service, in particular Twitter, in the evening types. No such correlation was found for male respondents. These findings provide evidence that, particularly for females, smartphone use and/or dependence may be related to chronotype.
Political Theology as critical theology
Authors: Van Wyk Tanya
Published: August 2015

This article attempts to draw the scope and content of contemporary Political Theology, based on a review of the 2013 publication titled, Political Theology: Contemporary challenges and future directions, edited by Francis Schüssler Fiorenza, Klaus Tanner and Michael Welker. The book is a collection of contributions which explore the contemporary content and potential future of the subject discipline. ‘Political Theology’ as critical theology and as a ‘theology with its face towards the world’ is committed to ‘justice, peace and the integrity of creation’ and is multifaceted. It represents a discipline with which theologians reflect on political-theological objectives across continents and paradigms. The article concludes with a brief investigation of the implications of insights offered in the book for the South African context (as part of the African continent).
The slaughter of increased numbers of pregnant cows in Tanga abattoir, Tanzania: A cause for concern?
Authors: Swai Emmanuel S. , Hayghaimo Abdu A. , Hassan Ayubu A. , Mhina Bartholomeo S.
Published: August 2015

Information on the level of foetal wastage in slaughtered cattle in Tanzania is limited. A three-month observational study (April – June 2014) of animals slaughtered at the Tanga abattoir in Tanga region, Tanzania was carried out to determine the number of pregnant cows slaughtered. The total number of cattle slaughtered during the study period was 3643, representing a monthly kill average of 1214 and a daily kill average of 40. Over 98% of the cattle presented to the abattoir for slaughter were local breed (Tanzania shorthorn zebu) and most were above 3 years of age. Improved breeds of cattle represented only 1.3% of all slaughters. Of the cattle slaughtered, 2256 (61.9%) were female and 1387 (38.1%) were male. A total of 655 slaughtered cows were pregnant, representing a foetal wastage of 29.1%. Of the 655 recovered foetuses, 333 (50.8%) were male and 322 (49.2%) were female. Of the recovered foetuses, 25.8% were recovered in the first, 42.7% in the second and 31.6% in the third trimester. This study indicates cases of significant foetal losses, negatively impacting future replacement stock as a result of the slaughter of pregnant animals. The indiscriminate slaughter of pregnant cows suggests that existing animal welfare legislation is not sufficiently enforced and routine veterinary ante-mortem inspection of trade animals is failing to prevent the high level of foetal wastage.
New fire diurnal cycle characterizations to improve fire radiative energy assessments made from MODIS observations
Authors: Andela N. , Kaiser J. W. , van der Werf G. R. , Wooster M. J.
Published: August 2015

Abstract. Accurate near real time fire emissions estimates are required for air quality forecasts. To date, most approaches are based on satellite-derived estimates of fire radiative power (FRP), which can be converted to fire radiative energy (FRE) which is directly related to fire emissions. Uncertainties in these FRE estimates are often substantial. This is for a large part because the most often used low-Earth orbit satellite-based instruments such as the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) have a relatively poor sampling of the usually pronounced fire diurnal cycle. In this paper we explore the spatial variation of this fire diurnal cycle and its drivers using data from the geostationary Meteosat Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager (SEVIRI). In addition, we sampled data from the SEVIRI instrument at MODIS detection opportunities to develop two approaches to estimate hourly FRE based on MODIS active fire detections. The first approach ignored the fire diurnal cycle, assuming persistent fire activity between two MODIS observations, while the second approach combined knowledge on the climatology of the fire diurnal cycle with active fire detections to estimate hourly FRE. The full SEVIRI time series, providing full coverage of the fire diurnal cycle, were used to evaluate the results. Our study period comprised of 3 years (2010–2012), and we focused on Africa and the Mediterranean basin to avoid the use of potentially lower quality SEVIRI data obtained at very far off-nadir view angles. We found that the fire diurnal cycle varies substantially over the study region, and depends on both fuel and weather conditions. For example, more "intense" fires characterized by a fire diurnal cycle with high peak fire activity, long duration over the day, and with nighttime fire activity are most common in areas of large fire size (i.e., large burned area per fire event). These areas are most prevalent in relatively arid regions. Ignoring the fire diurnal cycle generally resulted in an overestimation of FRE, while including information on the climatology of the fire diurnal cycle improved FRE estimates. The approach based on knowledge of the climatology of the fire diurnal cycle also improved distribution of FRE over the day, although only when aggregating model results to coarser spatial and/or temporal scale good correlation was found with the full SEVIRI hourly reference data set. We recommend the use of regionally varying fire diurnal cycle information within the Global Fire Assimilation System (GFAS) used in the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Services, which will improve FRE estimates and may allow for further reconciliation of biomass burning emission estimates from different inventories.
Radiative and climate impacts of a large volcanic eruption during stratospheric sulfur geoengineering

Published: August 2015

Abstract. Both explosive volcanic eruptions, which emit sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere, and stratospheric geoengineering via sulfur injections can potentially cool the climate by increasing the amount of scattering particles in the atmosphere. Here we employ a global aerosol-climate model and an earth system model to study the radiative and climate impacts of an erupting volcano during solar radiation management (SRM). According to our simulations, the radiative impacts of an eruption and SRM are not additive: in the simulated case of concurrent eruption and SRM, the peak increase in global forcing is about 40 % lower compared to a corresponding eruption into a clean background atmosphere. In addition, the recovery of the stratospheric sulfate burden and forcing was significantly faster in the concurrent case since the sulfate particles grew larger and thus sedimented faster from the stratosphere. In our simulation where we assumed that SRM would be stopped immediately after a volcano eruption, stopping SRM decreased the overall stratospheric aerosol load. For the same reasons, a volcanic eruption during SRM lead to only about 1/3 of the peak global ensemble-mean cooling compared to an eruption under unperturbed atmospheric conditions. Furthermore, the global cooling signal was seen only for 12 months after the eruption in the former scenario compared to over 40 months in the latter. In terms of the global precipitation rate, we obtain a 36 % smaller decrease in the first year after the eruption and again a clearly faster recovery in the concurrent eruption and SRM scenario. We also found that an explosive eruption could lead to significantly different regional climate responses depending on whether it takes place during geoengineering or into an unperturbed background atmosphere. Our results imply that observations from previous large eruptions, such as Mt Pinatubo in 1991, are not directly applicable when estimating the potential consequences of a volcanic eruption during stratospheric geoengineering.
New and improved infrared absorption cross sections for dichlorodifluoromethane (CFC-12)
Authors: Harrison J. J.
Published: August 2015

Abstract. Despite its widespread commercial use throughout the twentieth century, primarily in the refrigeration industry, dichlorodifluoromethane (CFC-12) is now known to have the undesirable effect of depleting stratospheric ozone. As this long-lived molecule slowly degrades in the atmosphere, monitoring its vertical concentration profile using infrared sounders on satellite platforms crucially requires accurate laboratory spectroscopic data. This work describes new high-resolution infrared absorption cross sections of dichlorodifluoromethane over the spectral range 800–1270 cm−1, determined from spectra recorded using a high-resolution Fourier transform spectrometer (Bruker IFS 125HR) and a 26 cm pathlength cell. Spectra of dichlorodifluoromethane/dry synthetic air mixtures were recorded at resolutions between 0.01 and 0.03 cm−1 (calculated as 0.9/MOPD; MOPD = maximum optical path difference) over a range of temperatures and pressures (7.5–761 Torr and 190–294 K) appropriate for atmospheric conditions. This new cross-section dataset improves upon the one currently available in the HITRAN and GEISA databases.
Improving multi-objective reservoir operation optimization with sensitivity-informed dimension reduction
Authors: Chu J. , Zhang C. , Fu G. , Li Y. , Zhou H.
Published: August 2015

Abstract. This study investigates the effectiveness of a sensitivity-informed method for multi-objective operation of reservoir systems, which uses global sensitivity analysis as a screening tool to reduce computational demands. Sobol's method is used to screen insensitive decision variables and guide the formulation of the optimization problems with a significantly reduced number of decision variables. This sensitivity-informed method dramatically reduces the computational demands required for attaining high-quality approximations of optimal trade-off relationships between conflicting design objectives. The search results obtained from the reduced complexity multi-objective reservoir operation problems are then used to pre-condition the full search of the original optimization problem. In two case studies, the Dahuofang reservoir and the inter-basin multi-reservoir system in Liaoning province, China, sensitivity analysis results show that reservoir performance is strongly controlled by a small proportion of decision variables. Sensitivity-informed dimension reduction and pre-conditioning are evaluated in their ability to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of multi-objective evolutionary optimization. Overall, this study illustrates the efficiency and effectiveness of the sensitivity-informed method and the use of global sensitivity analysis to inform dimension reduction of optimization problems when solving complex multi-objective reservoir operation problems.
Out of the archaeologist's desk drawer: communicating archaeological data online
Authors: Abate D. , David M.
Published: August 2015

Abstract. During archaeological field work a huge amount of data is collected, processed and elaborated for further studies and scientific publications. However, access and communication of linked data; associated tools for interrogation, analysis and sharing are often limited at the first stage of the archaeological research, mainly due to issues related to IPR. Information is often released months if not years after the fieldwork. Nowadays great deal of archaeological data is ‘born digital’ in the field or lab. This means databases, pictures and 3D models of finds and excavation contexts could be available for public communication and sharing. Researchers usually restrict access to their data to a small group of people. It follows that data sharing is not so widespread among archaeologists, and dissemination of research is still mostly based on traditional pre-digital means like scientific papers, journal articles and books. This project has implemented a web approach for sharing and communication purposes, exploiting mainly open source technologies which allow a high level of interactivity. The case study presented is the newly Mithraeum excavated in Ostia Antica archaeological site in the framework of the Ostia Marina Project.
Methodology of high-resolution photography for mural condition database
Authors: Higuchi R. , Suzuki T. , Shibata M. , Taniguchi Y.
Published: August 2015

Abstract. Digital documentation is one of the most useful techniques to record the condition of cultural heritage. Recently, high-resolution images become increasingly useful because it is possible to show general views of mural paintings and also detailed mural conditions in a single image. As mural paintings are damaged by environmental stresses, it is necessary to record the details of painting condition on high-resolution base maps. Unfortunately, the cost of high-resolution photography and the difficulty of operating its instruments and software have commonly been an impediment for researchers and conservators. However, the recent development of graphic software makes its operation simpler and less expensive. In this paper, we suggest a new approach to make digital heritage inventories without special instruments, based on our recent our research project in Üzümlü church in Cappadocia, Turkey. This method enables us to achieve a high-resolution image database with low costs, short time, and limited human resources.

Activation of relics has became an important way for tourist to contact and understand culture relics. The way of how to properly interpret the historical sense and cultural uniqueness to the masses of tourists in order to achieve social service functions of relic resources has always been research focal point of site protection and utilization, so nowadays it has important significance to protection and utilization of heritage resources in our country. From the point of activation of relics and based on the analysis of resource characteristic, the paper in depth discuss ways of activation of relics of the Old Summer Palace, in order to provide reference for sustainable development of sites tourism in China.
Digitisation of Scenic and Historic Interest Areas in China
Authors: Yang C. , Lawson G. , Sim J.
Published: August 2015

Abstract. Digital documents have become the major information source for heritage conservation practice. More heritage managers today use electronic maps and digital information systems to facilitate management and conservation of cultural heritage. However, the social aspects of digital heritage have not been sufficiently recognised. The aim of this paper is to examine China’s ‘Digital Scenic Area’ project, a national program started in 2004, to reveal the political and economic powers behind digital heritage practice. It was found that this project was only conducted within the most popular tourist destinations in China. Tourism information was the main object but information about landscape cultures were neglected in this project. This project also demonstrated that digital management was more like a political or economic symbol rather than a tool for heritage conservation. However, using digital technologies are still considered by the local government as a highly objective way of heritage management. Selected as a typical Scenic Area in China, Slender West Lake in Yangzhou was investigated to identify heritage stakeholder’s attitudes toward digital management and the request from local management practice.
Conservation plan based on the concept of integrity
Authors: Yen Y. N. , Cheng C. F.
Published: August 2015

Abstract. Value based concept has been accepted as a universal principle for the conservation of Cultural Heritage. Authenticity and integrity are two main issues protecting those values. Authenticity is the major tool in the value assessment and integrity plays an important role in the procedure of conservation plan. From the perspective of integrity, this research explores the principle of conservation plan and discusses its relation with the restoration plan and urban plan. A conservation plan in Quing-Lin village, Kinmen, will be taken as an example for implementation. The research shows that a conservation plan with integrity in mind helps to clarify the conservation target areas and their buffer zones. It also serves as a tool for developing control and risk management. Cultural mapping is an efficient tool for the communication with stakeholders in the process of the conservation plan.
Disaster Risk Management and Measurement Indicators for Cultural Heritage in Taiwan
Authors: Yen Y. N. , Cheng C. F. , Cheng H. M.
Published: August 2015

Abstract. Under the influence of global climate change, the risk preparedness has become a universal issue in different research fields. In the conservation of cultural heritage, disaster risk management is becoming one of the major research topics. Besides researches on the theory and mechanism of disaster risk management, the tools for the performance of site managers to protect cultural heritage is another important issue that needs development. UNESCO and ICOMOS have released some important documents on disaster risk management including its concept, identification, evaluation, mitigation, monitoring and resilience, etc. However, there is a big gap between concept and implementation in Taiwan. Presently there are 2000 monuments in Taiwan that hardly meet the modern code. First, based on international documents released, this research presents 13 disaster indicators on monuments and their environments. Next, 345 monuments in northern Taiwan are taken as examples to evaluate their risk situations with indicators designed in 2011. Some positive recommendations were given at the same time. As a result, a comparative evaluation was completed in 2012 and some key issues are found, such as too many electrical facilities, lack of efficient firefighting equipment, and a shortage of management mechanism, just to name a few. Through the improvement of the management, some major risk can be mitigated. In 2013~14, this research took 23 national monuments from the 345 monuments to evaluate their risk situations and compare the differences between national and local monuments. Results show that almost all management mechanisms in the national monuments have been established and are running well. However, problems like inappropriate electrical facilities and insufficient monitoring equipment remain. In addition, the performance of private monuments is not as good as public ones. Based on the collected information and evaluation, this research develops safety measures of heritage conservation in two aspects. One is for researchers to measure the risk of the heritage; the other is for site managers to manage the risk of their monument with ease. In conclusion, intendants of monuments in Taiwan have to develop more disaster risk management ideas to mitigate and prevent risks. In the meantime, the management and monitoring mechanisms available are helpful tools for risk mitigation. The awareness and training of the site managers are important issues for the implementation of risk prevention.
Embedding Knowledge in 3D Data Frameworks in Cultural Heritage
Authors: Coughenour C. M. , Vincent M. L. , de Kramer M. , Senecal S. , Fritsch D. , Flores Gutirrez M. , Lopez-Menchero Bendicho V. M. , Ioannides M.
Published: August 2015

Abstract. At present, where 3D modeling and visualisation in cultural heritage are concerned, an object’s documentation lacks its interconnected memory provided by multidisciplinary examination and linked data. As the layers of paint, wood, and brick recount a structure’s physical properties, the intangible, such as the forms of worship through song, dance, burning incense, and oral traditions, contributes to the greater story of its cultural heritage import. Furthermore, as an object or structure evolves through time, external political, religious, or environmental forces can affect it as well. As tangible and intangible entities associated with the structure transform, its narrative becomes dynamic and difficult to easily record. The Initial Training Network for Digital Cultural Heritage (ITN-DCH), a Marie Curie Actions project under the EU 7th Framework Programme, seeks to challenge this complexity by developing a novel methodology capable of offering such a holistic framework. With the integration of digitisation, conservation, linked data, and retrieval systems for DCH, the nature of investigation and dissemination will be augmented significantly. Examples of utilisating and evaluating this framework will range from a UNESCOWorld Heritage site, the Byzantine church of Panagia Forviotissa Asinou in the Troodos Mountains of Cyprus, to various religious icons and a monument located at the Monastery of Saint Neophytos. The application of this effort to the Asinou church, representing the first case study of the ITN-DCH project, is used as a template example in order to assess the technical challenges involved in the creation of such a framework.
The global rock art database: developing a rock art reference model for the RADB system using the CIDOC CRM and Australian heritage examples
Authors: Haubt R. A.
Published: August 2015

Abstract. The Rock Art Database (RADB) is a virtual organisation that aims to build a global rock art community. It brings together rock art enthusiasts and professionals from around the world in one centralized location through the deployed publicly available RADB Management System. This online platform allows users to share, manage and discuss rock art information and offers a new look at rock art data through the use of new technologies in rich media formats. Full access to the growing platform is currently only available for a selected group of users but it already links over 200 rock art projects around the globe. This paper forms a part of the larger Rock Art Database (RADB) project. It discusses the design stage of the RADB System and the development of a conceptual RADB Reference Model (RARM) that is used to inform the design of the Rock Art Database Management System. It examines the success and failure of international and national systems and uses the Australian heritage sector and Australian rock art as a test model to develop a method for the RADB System design. The system aims to help improve rock art management by introducing the CIDOC CRM in conjunction with a rock art specific domain model. It seeks to improve data compatibility and data sharing to help with the integration of a variety of resources to create the global Rock Art Database Management System.

Decentralization as an Educational Planning Strategy in Turkish Education System
Authors: Balkar Betül , Kasurka Mahinur Gözde
Published: August 2015

The aim of this study is to examine the policies of decentralization which guide the planning
of Turkish education system and which are involved in Development Plans of Turkey. The
sample of study is composed of ten development plans for 5 years which have been published
between the year of 1963 and 2014. Development plans were reached upon the website of
Ministry of Development. Data of the study were collected via document review and were
analyzed by using content analysis. As a result of the analysis of education policies in
development plans, it cannot be said that there is a decentralization policy which is adopted in
planning the Turkish Education System. In development plans, there are only objectives and
strategies that point out possible decentralization policies. Decentralization policies in
development plans are determined to be under the category of deconcentration and delegation
in terms of extent of execution. Based on the results of the study, it is suggested that
developing and executing decentralization policies should take more place in the plans for
Turkish Education System in order to be able to meet educational needs which result from
regional inequalities. The extent of decentralization should be decided by taking into
consideration the need that decentralization would respond rather than the delegated and
deconcentrated units.
Notes on the Unity of Logic and Materialism
Authors: Sandemose Jorgen
Published: August 2015

In the course of the first section, I make an attempt to define the most important actual implications of the theme that the anthology in question sets out to explore. In the next, I give a sketch of the three different modes of movement of logical thought present in Hegel’s Science of Logic, of their interrelation, and make a general criticism of the way that theme is handled in the book. In the third section, I stress the importance of an adequate understanding of the structure of the categories with which Hegel’s logical investigation takes its beginning. In the course of the two following sections, the interrelation between the themes of Hegel’s subjective logic and Marx’s commodity analysis are put into focus.

Sobrevivência em Tempos de Caos: Experiência Estética no Cinema sobre a Ditadura Militar Brasileira
Authors: JATOBÁ Vivian Resende
Published: August 2015

A resistência à ditadura militar foi tema de diversos filmes brasileiros, alguns mencionados neste artigo. Sabendo que a arte se apropria do contexto político de sua época e o reflete em suas manifestações, busca-se entender como a ditadura militar pode ser compreendida pelas lentes de um cinema que se interessa sobretudo pelos indivíduos que resistiram a ela. Aqui se pretende exemplificar e analisar experiências estéticas que se revelam possíveis dentro das comunidades formadas por aqueles que sobreviveram à ditadura desejando encontrar liberdade, apesar de viverem um período de terror e opressão.
Avenida Brasil e o Lugar da Recepção: Uma Análise das Percepções Sobre João Emanuel Carneiro no Twitter
Authors: CERQUEIRA Renata Cristina Bento , LESSA Rodrigo
Published: August 2015

Partindo de reflexões trazidas pela Estética da Recepção, desde a década de 60 do século XX, o presente artigo buscou examinar as relações existentes entre as marcas autorais de João Emanuel Carneiro, conforme apontadas pela imprensa, e as percepções dos internautas a respeito do autor. Neste sentido, foram examinados conteúdos compartilhados no Twitter, em torno deste realizador, com o intuito de analisar em que medida as impressões sobre Avenida Brasil corroboram ou não os traços regulares de Carneiro, apontados pela imprensa. Nos resultados, constatou-se que a maioria dos internautas não discorre sobre características regulares do roteirista principal da obra, porém, quando o fazem, costumam mostrar similaridade entre suas percepções e os traços atribuídos ao autor, destacando principalmente características diretamente associadas aos fatos que estão se desenrolando, paralelamente, na trama.
PCC: Ações e Continuidade da Expressão da Violência Política no Mundo do Crime
Authors: FERNÁNDEZ Luciana Moretti
Published: August 2015

Este artigo aborda a violência programática no mundo do crime como problema de comunicação política enraizado em contextos de violência social estruturante,atravessados pelo narcotráfico. A formulação do problema considera dimensões da vida do sujeito inserido no mundo do crime, fora ou dentro do sistema prisional, tendo a comunicação como interface e prática social, bem como dimensões políticas, presentes nos conflitos e nas negociações com o poder público e a sociedade. Os resultados, apresentados em um mapa situacional, indicaram semelhanças e continuidades, tanto na estruturação do PCC e nas ações de pressão e negociação durante os conflitos em São Paulo em 2006, como nas mensagens expressadas na apologia do crime, indicadoras da formação dos novos contingentes do narcotráfico.

O Desconhecido, o Imprevisto, o Irreparável: a implantação da barragem de Murta e o sistema de uso e transmissão da terra no Médio Jequitinhonha
Authors: Santos Teixeira Raquel Oliveira , Zhouri Andréa
Published: August 2015

No Médio Jequitinhonha, as chamadas terras de herança se constituíram expostas a experiências de expropriação e às dificuldades colocadas pela exiguidade de seu território. Tais condições conformaram historicamente um quadro de intenso agenciamento sobre a disposição e a transmissão da terra, compondo uma gramática local de costumes sucessórios orientados para a garantia da reprodução social das famílias. Estas localidades compreendem, hoje, domínios espaciais de pertencimento, trabalho e moradia designados localmente como terras no bolo. Estes territórios de parentesco se encontram atualmente ameaçados pela implantação de barragens hidrelétricas na região. Centrados numa perspectiva fundiária que tem como referência o proprietário individual e suas benfeitorias, os sistemas de avaliação e mitigação dos impactos mantém ignoradas as formas coletivas de gestão do patrimônio familiar. Esse quadro permite vislumbrar os danos irreparáveis a serem produzidos sobre os sistemas locais que se encontram assentados sobre a terra imbolada e os direitos traçados

Projetos de desenvolvimento no Rio São Francisco: administrando vocações e desigualdades
Authors: Scott Russell Parry
Published: August 2015

O artigo examina a diversidade de transformações a partir dos projetos de desenvolvimento no Rio São Francisco entre as barragens de Sobradinho e Itaparica desde 1973. Mostra uma geopolítica de negociações, disputas e redefinições constantes sobre territórios, para desvendar estruturas de poder na região. Os processos de planejamento, definição de objetivos, operações de implantação e resistência criam uma geopolítica histórica de disputas sobre territórios e vocações privilegiadas neles. Caracteriza: barragens como projetos de desenvolvimento de energia da CHESF; agricultura irrigada para exportação como projeto de desenvolvimento da CODEVASF; agricultura familiar/comercial em agrovilas de reassentados como projetos de vida de atingidos/mitigados; assentamentos agrícolas de MST como projetos de vida para ocupar espaços de empresas falidas para agricultura família/comercial; e territórios indígenas e quilombolas como projetos de vida de reemergências de identidades étnicas num contexto democratizante. Diferencia lógicas de uso de tempo e estabelecimento de prioridades entre projetos de desenvolvimento e de vida que resultam na formação de territórios diversos, permeados por negociações e conflitos.
