The Arctic Front and its variability in the Norwegian Sea
Authors: P. Raj Roshin , Chatterjee Sourav , Bertino Laurent , Turiel Antonio , Portebella Marcos
Published: January 2019

Abstract. The Arctic Front (AF) in the Norwegian Sea is an important biologically productive region which is well-known for its large feeding schools of pelagic fish. A suite of satellite data, a regional coupled ocean-sea ice data assimilation system (the TOPAZ reanalysis) and atmospheric reanalysis data is used to investigate the variability in the lateral and vertical structure of the AF. A method, the so-called Singularity Analysis, is applied on the satellite and reanalysis data for 2D spatial analysis of the front, whereas for the vertical structure, a horizontal gradient method is used. We present new evidences of active air-sea interaction along the AF due to enhanced momentum mixing near the frontal region. The frontal structure of the AF is found to be most distinct near the Faroe Current in the southwest Norwegian Sea and along the Mohn Ridge. Coincidentally, these are the two locations along the AF where the air-sea interactions are most intense. This study investigates in particular the frontal structure along the Mohn Ridge and provides new insights on the influence of the three dominant modes of the Norwegian Sea atmospheric circulation on the AF along the Mohn Ridge. The analyses show a weakened AF during the negative phase of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO-), even though the geographical location of the front does not vary. The weakening of AF during NAO- is attributed to the variability in the strength of the Norwegian Atlantic Front Current over the Mohn Ridge associated with the changes in the wind field.

Published: January 2019

Abstract. Electrical properties of rocks are important parameters for well-log and reservoir interpretation. Laboratory measurements of such properties are time-consuming, difficult, and are impossible in some cases. Being able to compute them from 3-D images of small samples will allow generating massive data in a short time, opening new avenues in applied and fundamental science. To become a reliable method, the accuracy of this technology needs to be tested. In this study, we developed a comprehensive and robust workflow with clean sand from two beaches. Electrical conductivities at 1 kHz were first carefully measured in the laboratory. A range of porosities spanning from a minimum of 0.26 to 0.33 to a maximum of 0.39 to 0.44, depending on the samples. Such range was achieved by compacting the samples in a way that reproduces natural packing of sand. Characteristic electrical formation factor versus porosity relationships were then obtain for each sand type. 3-D micro-computed tomography images of each sand sample from the experimental sand pack were acquired at different resolutions. Image processing was done using global thresholding method and up to 96 sub-samples of sizes from (200)3 to (700)3 voxels. After segmentation, the images were used to compute the effective electrical conductivity of the sub-cubes using a Finite Element electrostatic modelling. For the samples, a good agreement between laboratory measurements and computation from digital cores was found, if the sub-cube size REV is reached that is between (1300 μm)3 and (1820 μm)3, which, with an average grain size of 160 μm, is between 8 and 11 grains. Computed digital rock images of the clean sands have opened a way forward in getting the formation factor within a shortest possible time; laboratory calculations take five (5) to thirty-five (35) days as in the case of clean and shaly sands respectively, whereas, the digital tomography takes just three (3) to five (5) hours.
Contributions of advection and melting processes to the decline in sea ice in the Pacific sector of the Arctic Ocean

Published: January 2019

Abstract. The Pacific–Arctic (PA) Ocean is a region sensitive to climate change. Given the alarming changes in sea ice cover during recent years, knowledge of sea ice loss with respect to ice advection and melting processes has become critical. With satellite-derived products from the National Snow and Ice Center (NSIDC), a 38-yr record (1979–2016) of the loss in sea ice area in summer within the Pacific-Arctic (PA) sector due to the two processes is obtained. The average sea ice outflow from the PA to the Atlantic-Arctic (AA) Ocean during the summer season (June–September) reaches 173 × 103 km2, which corresponds to approximately 34 % of the mean annual export (October to September). Over the investigated period, a positive trend of 4.2 × 103 km2/yr is also observed for the outflow field in summer. The mean estimate of sea ice retreat within the PA associated with summer melting is 1.66 × 106 km2, with a positive trend of 53.1 × 103 km2/yr. As a result, the increasing trends of ice retreat caused by outflow and melting together contribute to a stronger decrease in sea ice coverage within the PA (57.3 × 103 km2/yr) in summer. In percentage terms, the melting process accounts for 90.4 % of the sea ice retreat in the PA in summer, whereas the remaining 9.6 % is explained by the outflow process, on average. Moreover, our analysis suggests that the connections are relatively strong (R = 0.63), moderate (R = −0.46), and weak (R = −0.24) between retreat of sea ice and the winds associated with the Dipole Anomaly (DA), North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), and Arctic Oscillation (AO), respectively. The DA participates by impacting both the advection (R = 0.74) and melting (R = 0.55) processes, whereas the NAO affects the melting process (R = −0.46).
L’e-portfolio pour collecter et gérer les traces de l’activité : exemple d’une formation à l’enseignement instrumental et vocal

Published: January 2019

Le développement d’une posture d’enseignant-praticien réflexif repose sur la collecte et le traitement de différentes traces de l’activité professionnelle. La nature des traces collectées, leur rôle dans la formation, leur utilisation et leur gestion diffèrent selon les contenus et les dispositifs de formation. Par l’utilisation d’une plateforme électronique d’apprentissage (e-portfolio), le master en pédagogie instrumentale et vocale vise à développer la posture de praticien réflexif des futurs enseignants d’instruments ou de chant. Cette plateforme permet le dépôt, la gestion et le partage de différents types de traces de l’activité. La présente recherche vise à capter la nature des traces collectées ainsi que leur utilisation pour la rédaction d’un bilan de compétences. Il ressort d’entretiens menés avec les étudiants que les e-portfolios contiennent essentiellement des traces élaborées de l’activité et que ces traces sont peu ou pas utilisées lors de la rédaction du bilan de fin de cursus. Les étudiants mentionnent plutôt l’utilisation de traces immatérielles de type souvenirs, récoltées durant leur pratique en enseignement dans et hors formation. À partir de ces constats, nous sommes amenés à nous questionner sur la compréhension du rôle de la trace par les étudiants et l’orientation de leur apprentissage vers le produit plutôt que vers le processus.
The development of a reflexive teacher-practitioner position is based on gathering and processing various artifacts of professional activity. The nature of the artifacts collected, their role in training, their use and their management differ according to the content and the training provisions. By using a digital learning platform (eportfolio), the Haute école de musique Vaud Valais Fribourg’s master’s program in instrumental and vocal pedagogy intends to develop the reflexive practitioner position of future teachers in this field. Different types of artifacts of the activity can be deposited, managed, and shared on this platform. The aim of this research is to define the nature of the artifacts gathered and use them to write a skills report. It highlights the interviews conducted with students and the fact that eportfolios essentially contain artifacts developed from the activity and that these artifacts are hardly or not used in the end-of-course report. Rather, students mention the use of intangible artifacts such as memories, collected during their teaching practice both in and out of training. Based on these observations, we are led to question students’ understanding of the role of artifacts and the orientation of their learning towards the product rather than the process.

Published: January 2019

In time past, teaching profession was presumed to be stress free. Conversely, stress is gradually becoming endemic in various professions.  However, recent studies have shown an exponential increase in the number of educators reporting that stress is affecting their work. Hence, this study seeks to examine causes, signs, symptoms and consequences of job stress among Junior Secondary School teachers in Abuja. This qualitative study used interview to elicit information from a focused group. Thematic content analysis was used to analyse data generated. The findings showed that teachers’ stress emanated from external and internal work environments which have moderating and mediating effect on the level of stress an individual feel in carrying out his/her work. Moreover, the consequences of the identified stressors were psychological, behavioural and physiological. Furthermore, the study suggests preventive and interventional measures which can aid to reduce the negative effects of stress on teachers.

Authors: Tarawneh Rula Tahsin , Hussein Riyad F.
Published: January 2019

This study sought to investigate the differences between the request strategies used by Jordanian and American speakers. Data for this study were collected via a Discourse Completion Task (DCT) questionnaire, incorporating 16 real-life scenarios in the form of short descriptive statements. In accordance with the Cross-Cultural Speech Act Realization Patterns, participants' responses (n= 30) divided into three groups (Jordanian Non-English Majors, Jordanian English Majors and American participants). The data were analyzed and further classified into three types based on their level of directness: (i) direct (D), (ii) conventional indirect (ID), and (iii) non-conventional indirect requests (NID).The results of this study indicate that the act of requesting is performed differently by the three groups of participants. The results also showed that strategy (Reference to Preparatory Cond.) was ranked the highest in percent (87.5%, 67.5%) for the two groups American and Jordanian “Male”) respectively, and (86.3%, 76.3%) %) for the two groups American and Jordanian “Female”) respectively. Also, results showed that the strategy (Locution Deliverable) was ranked the lowest by the Jordanian females sample, just (1.9%).

De estas especies se han identificado depredadores, parasitoides e insectos oportunistas.
Cultura de los cuidados: La influencia de los estereotipos de género en la cotidianeidad de la salud
Authors: Perusset Veras Macarena
Published: January 2019

En este estudio examinamos los quehaceres domésticos diarios en relación a los cuidados y a la salud que las mujeres de hogares de bajos ingresos del Noroeste de la provincia de Córdoba realizan en relación a sus hijos y a otros integrantes del seno familiar. En general, las mujeres consultadas señalaron la experiencia del trabajo doméstico de cuidado de la salud como un esfuerzo que refleja las diferencias esenciales entre mujeres y hombres. En momentos de enfermedad, las mujeres suelen obtener ayuda de otros familiares femeninos y es en estos momentos cuando se activan los conflictos con los hombres de la familia. La disconformidad que pudimos observar entre las mujeres y sus parejas se vieron acentuadas por creencias culturales que tienen que ver con el cuidado como innato a las mujeres, con una suerte de sacrificio maternal, así como a factores socioeconómicos. Estas historias privadas de mujeres nos ayudan a observar que todavía hoy, los cuidados en el hogar tienen un fuerte contenido cultural y están vinculados al género.

Indoor Localization Based on Bluetooth
Authors: Yin Jun , Yin Fengchun
Published: January 2019

Global positioning system (GPS) has been widely used in positioning, vehicle navigation and other environments. However, in indoor environments, it can not achieve accurate positioning because of the weak signal through the wall. In other words, more appropriate techniques are needed in indoor scenes. Bluetooth technology has attracted more and more attention due to its advantages of low power consumption, wide coverage and fast transmission speed. Bluetooth-based indoor positioning refers to the indoor positioning technology that uses mobile terminal to receive Bluetooth signals from multiple Bluetooth devices, and calculates the location information of mobile terminal through the received information, so as to achieve high-precision positioning.In this paper, an effective optimal location algorithm is proposed. Firstly, the outlier detection algorithm is improved to remove the interference of abnormal data on the positioning accuracy; then, different filtering algorithms are used to process the received fingerprint information to ensure the accuracy of the fingerprint database establishment stage, and reduce the unnecessary construction time; finally, the average position is calculated by the average fingerprint data and judged the user's area.

Published: January 2019

Organizational success and productivity depend on the effective and efficient utilization of Human Resources (HR). In view of the importance of HR, organizations put high premium on their safety, wellbeing and adequate monitoring. Several researchers have come up with solutions for monitoring HR movements but the major challenge has been the inability of a single technique to adequately and comprehensively monitor and provide accurate positioning data due to the changing environments of the workplace. This paper presents the implementation of a hybrid HR monitoring system using Global Positioning System (GPS), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), cameras and sensors. The model is implemented using Python programming language as frontend and MySQL database management system as backend. Case study of the monitoring of selected staff of Information and Communication Technology Application Centre (ICTAC) of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko, Nigeria was used to test the adequacy and practical functions of the model. Obtained data on positioning accuracy, signal sensitivity, cost of deployment and coverage area formed the basis for evaluation and comparative analysis.

Published: January 2019

The aim of this study is to examine the role of interpersonal emotion regulation on interpersonal competency when controlled for emotion dysregulation. The sample of the study consists of 342 (235 female; 107 male) undergraduate students attending to the various departments of a private university in Turkey. The average age of participants was 20.81 (SD=2.29). The Interpersonal Emotion Regulation Scale, Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale and Interpersonal Competency Scale were used.  Analyses were conducted through the SPSS 20 (IBM, 2011). Results of hierarchical regression analysis revealed that interpersonal emotion regulation and emotion dysregulation seem to predict interpersonal competency. After controlling for the effect of emotion dysregulation, interpersonal emotion regulation alone explains 18% of the overall variance in interpersonal competency. Interpersonal emotion has the highest contribution on interpersonal competency followed by emotion dysregulation.

Published: January 2019

Introduction: The objective of this study was to investigate the disease course after direct vision internal urethrotomy (DVIU) for short anterior urethral strictures.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 94 patients who underwent DVIU of the anterior urethra. Patients' age, etiology, length and localization of the strictures, total number of DVIU procedures, comorbidities, and other data were evaluated.

Results: The mean age of the patients was 67.2 years. The mean followup duration was 27.1 months. Recurrence was observed in 27.6% of the patients. Recurrence had occurred in these patients at a mean of 12 months. Both the comorbidity score (rs=0.395; p<0.001) and the urinary tract infection (UTI) score (rs=0.492; p<0.001) had significant correlation with the recurrence. In patients with recurrent urethral stricture, as the number of DVIU increased, the length and number of the urethral stricture increased as well. Patients with recurrence had a single stricture in the first DVIU procedure, while the number of strictures increased to a mean of two in the second and/or third DVIU procedures.

Conclusions: DVIU is an effective treatment method in short anterior urethral stricture if it has been applied as a first intervention. However, if the stricture recurs, repeated DVIU application appears to be a negative predictive factor. The presence of perioperative treated UTI, smoking, and total number of comorbidities were negative predictive factors for the recurrence of urethral stricture. The disadvantages of our study is that it is retrospective, it includes a low number of patients, and the followup period is short.
Pragmatic Failure in Interpretation and the Development of Students’ Pragmatic Competence in Interpreting
Authors: Lu Licheng
Published: January 2019

Based on Jenny Thomas’s dichotomous classification of pragmatic failure, this study proposes a new perspective and classifies pragmatic failure in interpretation into three categories: pragma-linguistic failure, socio-pragmatic failure and malaprop-pragmatic failure. Specific examples are given to illustrate the causes and effects of each category of pragmatic failure in interpretation. Meanwhile, this study establishes the “curriculum-textbook-teacher-teaching” scheme to develop students’ pragmatic competence in interpreting with which they are able to avoid pragmatic failure in interpretation.
Teaching English Compound Noun Stress

Published: January 2019

The aim of this research paper is to scrutinize the teaching of English pronunciation based on English compound noun stress at secondary school. In fact, the teaching of compound noun stress has not been highlighted by previous scholars. In addition, teaching strategies based on this item have not been taken into account by INRAP and E.N.S in the course of phonetics and phonology. As a result, no teacher is able to teach compound noun stress and no learner is able to practice this language item. Therefore, our practical suggestions are made of teaching and learning strategies, a set of exercises and a sample of a teaching card to encourage teachers to deal with compound noun stress. This study is an attempt to show the parallel between the techniques of teaching of reading and that of compound noun stress.

Understanding Dynamic Conditional Correlations between Oil, Natural Gas and Non-Energy Commodity Futures Markets
Authors: Behmiri Niaz Bashiri , Manera Matteo , Nicolini Marcella
Published: January 2019

We look at the dynamic conditional correlations (DCCs) between oil, natural gas and other non-energy commodity futures markets, obtained from a DCC-GARCH model over the period 1998-2014. They are positive and display a sharp increase around year 2008 and a subsequent decrease. The DCCs between energy and metals are larger than the energy-agriculture ones. To understand how macroeconomic and financial factors, as well as speculative activity, influence them, we estimate an ARDL(1,1) model, adopting a pooled mean group (PMG) estimator. We observe that macroeconomic and financial variables are significantly correlated with the energy-agriculture and energy-metals DCCs. Speculative activity contributes to explain the energy-agriculture DCCs but not those of the energy-metals.
Energy and Agricultural Commodity Markets Interaction: An Analysis of Crude Oil, Natural Gas, Corn, Soybean, and Ethanol Prices
Authors: Chiou-Wei Song-Zan , Chen Sheng-Hung , Zhu Zhen
Published: January 2019

This paper broadens the analysis of the interactions between energy and agricultural commodity markets by focusing on five major commodities: oil, natural gas, soybean, corn, and ethanol, and intends to provide more updated information regarding the degree of the connection among the markets. We estimate a DCC-MGARCH model to accommodate the dynamic and changing degree of interconnections among the five markets with respect to price levels and price volatilities. In doing so, we control for additional economic variables including oil and gas inventories, interest rate spread, exchange rate and economic activities. Our empirical evidence suggests that there are varying degrees of interconnections among the energy and agricultural commodities in the long term as well as the short term, but the interactions among the agricultural commodities and ethanol are generally higher than the interactions between oil and gas and agricultural markets. In addition, we reveal some weak evidence of commodity market speculation. The estimated conditional volatility correlations suggest that volatility spillovers among the markets were time dependent and dynamic.

Published: January 2019

Esta investigación se enmarca en las geografías de la infancia escolarizada y explora los significados que los estudiantes asignan a los espacios que ellos prefieren en la escuela, los usos que les atribuyen y los modos de relación que propician. Ello se propone como una expresión más de la agencia de los alumnos y de la necesidad de escuchar su voz en los procesos democráticos de mejora académica. Bajo un modelo de investigación cualitativa, el trabajo se sirve de la fotografía participativa como instrumento para registrar las ideas de los niños y niñas y estimular el diálogo. Los resultados se centran en analizar las posibilidades que nos ofrece dicha metodología para la investigación de las geografías de la infancia escolarizada a la luz de la experiencia que se presenta. El artículo también discute qué significados asignan los estudiantes a los espacios elegidos, por qué hay espacios físicos como las aulas que no son considerados, qué relaciones facilitan y dificultan estos lugares, qué significados tienen ciertas zonas minoritarias y cómo los estudiantes resignifican algunos rincones anodinos para los adultos y los conectan con sus propios intereses y prioridades.

Performance comparison of hip fracture pathways in two capital cities: Associations with level and change of integration
Authors: Häkkinen Unto , Hagen Terje P , Moger Tron Anders
Published: January 2019

Finland and Norway have health care systems that have a varying degree of vertical integration. In Finland the financial responsibility for all patient treatment is placed at the municipal level, while in Norway the responsibility for patients is divided between the municipalities (primary and long-term care) and state-owned hospitals. From 2012, the Norwegian system became more vertically integrated following the introduction of the Coordination Reform. The aim of the paper is to analyse the associations between different modes of integration and performance indicators. The data included operated hip fracture patients from the years 2009–2014 residing in the cities of Oslo and Helsinki. Data from routinely collected national registers, also including data from primary health and long-term-care services, were linked. Performance indicators were compared at baseline (before the Coordination Reform, i.e., 2009–2011), and trends were described and analysed by difference-in-difference methods. The baseline study indicated that hip fracture patients in Oslo, compared with those in Helsinki, had longer stays in acute hospitals. They used less institutional care outside of hospitals as well as more GP services and fewer other outpatient services. Mortality was lower, and the probability of being discharged to home within 90 days from the index day was higher. After the Coordination Reform, the length of stay in hospital was shorter and the length of the first institutional episode in Oslo was longer than before the Reform, demonstrating that the shorter hospital stays were more than compensated for by longer stays in long-term-care institutions. The number of patients institutionalised 90 days from the index day increased and the number of patients discharged to home within 90 days from the index day decreased in Oslo after the Reform while the opposite trends were observed in Helsinki. After the Reform, the performance differences between the two regions had decreased. Published: Online December 2018. In print January 2019.
PARÓDIA E MESSIANISMO NO CONCEITO DE FORMA-DE-VIDA EM GIORGIO AGAMBEN
Authors: Baptista Mauro Rocha
Published: January 2019

Neste artigo desenvolvemos a relação da paródia com o messianismo para melhor compreender o que o filósofo italiano Giorgio Agamben intenta com seu conceito de forma-de-vida. Forma-de-vida indica uma vida que não se perde em meio a suas formatações externas. Em sua análise deste conceito Agamben propõe que a melhor forma de definir um fenômeno é por sua paródia. Ao buscar fundamentos no próprio autor para esta definição, encontramos um ensaio em que ele define a paródia como oposta à ficção. Enquanto a ficção buscaria a criação de um espaço do “como se”, a paródia abriria a possibilidade para o “como se não”. Esta indicação encaminha a pesquisa para um novo aspecto, uma vez que em O tempo que resta, Agamben define a vocação messiânica a partir do conceito paulino de hós mé, “como não”. Neste sentido paródia e messianismo seriam conceitos próximos, ambos atuando na possibilidade de realizar a forma-de-vida, atuando como uma violência de aniquilação capaz de abrir espaço para uma outra realidade.
FEUERBACH, MARX, NIETZSCHE E FREUD: A CRÍTICA DA RELIGIÃO NO SÉCULO XIX
Authors: Veliq Fabiano
Published: January 2019

Neste artigo procurar-se-á contextualizar o debate sobre a religião, expondo as ideias dos principais autores que influenciaram a crítica da religião no século XIX tais como Feuerbach, Marx, Nietzsche e Freud. Procurar-se-á mostrar que esses autores têm algo em comum que a filosofia da religião posterior busca superar. Todos estes filósofos lidam de uma forma ou de outra com a questão da “morte de Deus”. Eles anunciam e confirmam esse fato. A começar com Feuerbach e culminando em Freud, Deus é banido enquanto realidade possível. Se Deus está banido, a religião que fala desse Deus deve também ser banida e outra coisa deve ser colocada em seu lugar.
PÓS-MODERNIDADE OU HIPERMODERNIDADE? O SUJEITO CONTEMPORÂNEO SOB A ÓTICA DE LIPOVETSKY E BAUMAN
Authors: Cruz Daniel Nery da
Published: January 2019

Este artigo tem por objetivo avaliar como o conceito de sujeito na modernidade foi posto em questão na pós-modernidade tendo como base as abordagens de Gilles Lipovetsky e Zygmunt Bauman. Ao debruçar-se sobre temas do cotidiano, Lipovetsky oferece uma visão filosófica e sociológica do tempo atual traçando um perfil da sociedade contemporânea. As descrições que Lipovetsky oferece do nosso tempo ajudam a compreender como a sociedade do prazer e bem-estar dissolve os valores deixados pela modernidade, ocasionando um universo sem referências, sem sentido e sem objetivo, esvaziando a noção de sujeito forjado pela filosofia moderna. Lipovetsky encara com otimismo esse tempo, não o considerando “o coveiro da razão”, e trabalhando com a ideia de que o objeto (mercadorias de consumo, mídia) não tem poder sobre o homem. As coisas materiais praticamente perdem a importância justamente pelo fluxo oferecido e provocado pelas escolhas e variedades. Bauman, em contraposição vai afirmar que nesse universo de escolhas, o sujeito não se encontra livre; existe sim certo fetiche da mercadoria, que encanta e faz o indivíduo preso na própria escolha, sem liberdade de não escolher.
RAZÃO PRÁTICA ENTRE DESEJO E BENS HUMANOS BÁSICOS. A CRÍTICA METAÉTICA DE JOHN FINNIS AO EMOTIVISMO E CETICISMO
Authors: Pinheiro Victor Sales , Riker Pereira Dienny Magalhães
Published: January 2019

John Finnis é considerado o maior filósofo da nova teoria da lei natural, na teoria da lei natural, que renova a tradição da ética clássica de Aristóteles e Aquino, confrontando-os com os modernos, principalmente com Hobbes, Hume, Kant e Nietzsche. Este Artigo aborda, especificamente, a sua concepção metaética de razão prática. Para tanto, reconstitui a sua crítica ao emotivismo e ao ceticismo modernos, oriundos principalmente de Hume. Na primeira parte, trata do reducionismo da razão prática a mero instrumento de efetivação de desejos subracionais. Na segunda, articula a dimensão racional dos desejos, relacionando-os aos bens inteligíveis a que eles se voltam. Na terceira, analisa a integração do sentimento à razão prática, explorando a alegoria da máquina de experiências, proposta por Robert Nozick. Por fim, na quarta parte, a partir da natureza da deliberação, apresenta o argumento da autorrefutação como crítica principal ao ceticismo moral. Na conclusão, percebe-se a consistência da teoria moral de Finnis e se atenta para a consequência jurídico-político das teorias restritivas do bem humano, baseadas no emotivismo e ceticismo.
DA “COISA DA LÓGICA” À “LÓGICA DA COISA”: A INFLEXÃO DA ONTOLOGIA NO PENSAMENTO DO JOVEM MARX
Authors: Fortes Ronaldo Vielmi
Published: January 2019

O artigo em questão pretende trazer elementos que destaquem o momento específico da elaboração de Marx no ano de 1843, na chamada Crítica de Kreuznach, que contribuíram de maneira decisiva para a edificação do pensamento posterior do autor. Contra a tradição de alguns comentadores, para quem o momento é expressão da fundação de uma metodologia de cunho materialista marxiano, procurar-se demonstrar que as críticas dirigidas à filosofia do direito de Hegel se alicerçam em questões de bases fundamentalmente ontológicas. Assumindo a crítica feuerbachiana da inversão sujeito-objeto em Hegel, Marx desenvolve elementos próprios de sua filosofia ao estabelecer os primeiros contornos mais evidentes da crítica da inversão determinativa entre estado e sociedade civil. Para o pensador materialista em Hegel a preocupação consiste em demonstrar a “coisa da lógica”, enquanto a tarefa correta da filosofia está em se guiar pela “lógica da coisa”. Das reflexões empreendidas pelo autor nesse estudo específico surge como consequência decisiva desdobramentos que levam à possibilidade da construção dos pilares de uma ontologia do ser social.
DIREITO CONTRATUAL, JUSTIÇA DISTRIBUTIVA E VIRTUDES CÍVICAS
Authors: Martins Zanitelli Leandro
Published: January 2019

O artigo responde a uma crítica de Seana Shiffrin ao direito contratual. Nela, a autora afirma que certa leniência com o inadimplemento contratual leva o direito a divergir da moral respeitante a promessas, o que atenta contra o interesse dos cidadãos em se desenvolverem moralmente e conspira contra uma cultura igualitária. Afirma-se que Shiffrin erra ao supor que leis mais severas forjem cidadãos mais virtuosos, mas que sua crítica tem o mérito de ressaltar a influência do direito sobre as preferências dos cidadãos, ponto negligenciado por teorias do direito contratual associadas à justiça distributiva.
“ESBOÇO DE UMA TEORIA DAS EMOÇÕES”: UMA CRÍTICA E UMA NOVA COMPREENSÃO À PSICOLOGIA DAS EMOÇÕES, EM JEAN-PAUL SARTRE
Authors: Ferreira Thúlio Luis
Published: January 2019

Influenciado pela fenomenologia de Husserl, Sartre critica a filosofia idealista, bem como a Psicologia por seu caráter psicofisiológico e a Psicanálise com a noção de inconsciente. Para tanto, Sartre compreende o fenômeno da emoção como uma essência transcendental. A emoção, assim, é um modo de realização e transformação do mundo, um proceder de existir da consciência como forma organizada da existência humana em síntese.
Designing with the Body - Somaesthetic Interaction Design
Authors: Höök Kristina
Published: January 2019

With the rise of ubiquitous technology, data-driven design and the Internet of Things, our interactions and our interfaces with technology will look radically different in the years ahead, incorporating changes like full body interaction, shape-changing interfaces, wearables and movement tracking apps. These changes offer an enormous opportunityindeed, a necessity-to reinvent the way we interact with the inanimate world. Once-familiar, everyday objects, from our phones to our vacuums, require novel interaction models not just typing text on screens, but, increasingly, movementbased, bodily communication. A qualitative shift is required in our design methods, from a predominantly symbolic, language-oriented design stance, to an experiential, felt, aesthetic stance permeating the whole design and use cycle.

As diretrizes de acessibilidade de conteúdo (WCAG 2.0) do World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) completam neste ano 10 anos com o status de recomendação. Entretanto, a Web ainda conta com muitas barreiras relacionadas a problemas básicos de codificação. Estudo aponta que 85% dos websites apresentam problemas como falta de rótulos em formulários e de descrição textual para imagens [1]. Outro ponto crítico é que nem sempre profissionais sabem como converter diretrizes em ações. Neste minicurso apresentaremos resultados relacionados ao projeto WARAU (Websites Atendendo a Requisitos de Acessibilidade e Usabilidade). O projeto teve início em 2008 e envolveu o estudo sobre os desafios que pequenas equipes de desenvolvimento enfrentam ao envolver aspectos relacionados à acessibilidade e usabilidade no dia a dia de suas atividades. O projeto resultou em um livro publicado recentemente [2] que poderá ser obtido gratuitamente pelos participantes do minicurso. O minicurso envolverá dinâmicas e exposição de cenários de criação e avaliação de conteúdo web acessível.

Projeto de Interface Colaborativa para Software de Desenvolvimento de Ontologias
Authors: Sewald Junior Egon , José Rover Aires , A. Ferenhof Helio
Published: January 2019

Esta pesquisa justifica-se por envolver o uso de tecnologia de informação e sistemas de conhecimento para apoiar a tomada de decisão e melhorar o desempenho da justiça brasileira. Considerando a formalização do direito na forma de documentos com bases textuais, o uso de sistemas de conhecimento depende da codificação do conhecimento linguístico que, nesses documentos, não é estruturado. Essa tarefa de codificação do conhecimento envolve recursos complexos, em grande número. Uma pesquisa-ação foi realizada e os resultados culminaram no desenvolvimento de projeto de interface que permite a execução das duas tarefas (construção de documentos e codificação de conhecimento). O projeto foi desenvolvido utilizando conceitos de priorização da experiência do usuário e buscando a possibilidade de colaboração entre usuários para reduzir a necessidade de recursos, aproveitando aqueles que constroem documentos com conhecimento linguístico. A validação foi realizada com usuários judiciais. O resultado da pesquisa é o design de interface para o sistema de conhecimento.
What Are We Studying? An overview of HCI’s curricula in Brazilian Software Engineering Undergraduate Programs
Authors: Braga Medeiros Bruno , Felipe P. Cheiran Jean
Published: January 2019

Studying and applying Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) concepts on Software Engineering (SE) programs is meaningful when society demands more useful, accessible and pleasant software applications to be made. However, teaching HCI is perceived as a challenging task in an interdisciplinary aspect. Therefore, this study aims to understand what Brazilian SE undergraduate students are being taught on HCI courses. In order to accomplish it, we applied a content analysis methodology on 21 distinct syllabi from 15 universities, which resulted on the categorization of 28 teaching topics. The outcome of this work allow us to visualize the most HCI concepts seen on Brazilian SE programs: Design, Interaction Styles & Paradigms, System Evaluation, and Usability. Moreover, we presented discussions related to the HCI knowledge being offered on SE undergraduate programs.
Abordagem CTS e IHC: A importância das cores no design de interfaces de software
Authors: Marcante Lati Cerutti Diolete , Szesz Junior Albino
Published: January 2019

This article describes a teaching experience by using STS (Science, Technology and Society) approach in the HCI (Human-Computer Interaction). The experience was carried out in classes about the use of colors in interface design. It aimed at observing students´ perceptions about the use of STS approach in HCI and its impacts on the course of Project of Information Systems. The methodology used in the experiment was to organize the content (colors and STS) within a didactic sequence of six classes. In this sequence, class themes, pedagogical strategies, aims and content were defined. Results showed more interaction between students and lecture in HCI and more students’ interest on using an appropriated code of colors in interface design in the course of Project of Information Systems. It was concluded that engaging methodologies such as STS approach are important and can impact positively for teaching-learning process of students in Software Engineering.
