The Practice and Principle of City Planning in Contemporary China
Authors: Yu Ziran
Published: November 2020

The goal of governments is to maintain a competitive environment, allowing prices to allocate resources and for the reduction of transaction costs. Governments aim to facilitate market operation and thus increase the rent value of various resources. City planning is a function of governments in the rapid process of urbanization; they take responsibility for land use and aim at increasing land rent. Western countries attempt to reduce negative externalities mainly by means of development controls, with the aim of maximizing the land rent. While city development in China is chiefly a product of master planning, the government leases land to the market and internalizes externalities in the form of contracts, making regulatory plans unnecessary. These differences between planning in China and foreign countries are determined by differences in the land property rights systems, stages of city development, and tax systems.

Authors: Vellaisamy Rajendran , Iyer Shruti , Chandramohan Servarayan Murugesan , Harikrishnan Sakthivel
Published: November 2020

Rapunzel syndrome, defined by the presence of a trichobezoar extending from the stomach to the small intestine, is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction. It usually presents with vague symptoms; however, it can also present with complications such as perforation, peritonitis and obstructive jaundice. We report a rare case of a 37-year-old woman with Rapunzel syndrome complicated by acute cholangitis and pancreatitis and analyse the diagnosis and management of this complicated pathology. Although she reported a history of trichotillomania and trichophagia, she had been asymptomatic for ten years. We review the steps of diagnosis, highlighting the importance of a thorough clinical history and detailed examination, with supporting evidence from the contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) scan. She was successfully managed with gastrotomy and trichobezoar removal. She had an uneventful postoperative recovery and was discharged after psychiatric counselling. To our knowledge, this is the first case of Rapunzel syndrome in a young female presenting with both cholangitis and pancreatitis.
Artificial neural networks for inverse design of resonant nanophotonic components with oscillatory loss landscapes
Authors: Lenaerts Joeri , Pinson Hannah , Ginis Vincent
Published: November 2020

Machine learning offers the potential to revolutionize the inverse design of complex nanophotonic components. Here, we propose a novel variant of this formalism specifically suited for the design of resonant nanophotonic components. Typically, the first step of an inverse design process based on machine learning is training a neural network to approximate the non-linear mapping from a set of input parameters to a given optical system’s features. The second step starts from the desired features, e.g. a transmission spectrum, and propagates back through the trained network to find the optimal input parameters. For resonant systems, this second step corresponds to a gradient descent in a highly oscillatory loss landscape. As a result, the algorithm often converges into a local minimum. We significantly improve this method’s efficiency by adding the Fourier transform of the desired spectrum to the optimization procedure. We demonstrate our method by retrieving the optimal design parameters for desired transmission and reflection spectra of Fabry–Pérot resonators and Bragg reflectors, two canonical optical components whose functionality is based on wave interference. Our results can be extended to the optimization of more complex nanophotonic components interacting with structured incident fields.
Adjoint-optimized nanoscale light extractor for nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond
Authors: Wambold Raymond A. , Yu Zhaoning , Xiao Yuzhe , Bachman Benjamin , Jaffe Gabriel , Kolkowitz Shimon , Choy Jennifer T. , Eriksson Mark A. , Hamers Robert J. , Kats Mikhail A.
Published: November 2020

We designed a nanoscale light extractor (NLE) for the efficient outcoupling and beaming of broadband light emitted by shallow, negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in bulk diamond. The NLE consists of a patterned silicon layer on diamond and requires no etching of the diamond surface. Our design process is based on adjoint optimization using broadband time-domain simulations and yields structures that are inherently robust to positioning and fabrication errors. Our NLE functions like a transmission antenna for the NV center, enhancing the optical power extracted from an NV center positioned 10 nm below the diamond surface by a factor of more than 35, and beaming the light into a ±30° cone in the far field. This approach to light extraction can be readily adapted to other solid-state color centers.
The road to atomically thin metasurface optics
Authors: Brongersma Mark L.
Published: November 2020

The development of flat optics has taken the world by storm. The initial mission was to try and replace conventional optical elements by thinner, lightweight equivalents. However, while developing this technology and learning about its strengths and limitations, researchers have identified a myriad of exciting new opportunities. It is therefore a great moment to explore where flat optics can really make a difference and what materials and building blocks are needed to make further progress. Building on its strengths, flat optics is bound to impact computational imaging, active wavefront manipulation, ultrafast spatiotemporal control of light, quantum communications, thermal emission management, novel display technologies, and sensing. In parallel with the development of flat optics, we have witnessed an incredible progress in the large-area synthesis and physical understanding of atomically thin, two-dimensional (2D) quantum materials. Given that these materials bring a wealth of unique physical properties and feature the same dimensionality as planar optical elements, they appear to have exactly what it takes to develop the next generation of high-performance flat optics.
Recent progress of dynamic mode manipulation via acousto-optic interactions in few-mode fiber lasers: mechanism, device and applications
Authors: Lu Jiafeng , Shi Fan , Xu Jiangtao , Meng Linghao , Zhang Longkun , Cheng Peikang , Zhou Xuan , Pang Fufei , Zeng Xianglong
Published: November 2020

The burgeoning advances of spatial mode conversion in few-mode fibers emerge as the investigative hotspot in novel structured light manipulation, in that, high-order modes possess a novel fundamental signature of various intensity profiles and unique polarization distributions, especially orbital angular momentum modes carrying with phase singularity and spiral wave front. Thus, control of spatial mode generation becomes a crucial technique especially in fiber optics, which has been exploited to high capacity space division multiplexing. The acousto-optic interactions in few-mode fibers provide a potential solution to tackle the bottleneck of traditional spatial mode conversion devices. Acousto-optic mode conversion controlled by microwave signals brings tremendous new opportunities in spatial mode generation with fast mode tuning and dynamic switching capabilities. Besides, dynamic mode switching induced by acousto-optic effects contributes an energy modulation inside a laser cavity through nonlinear effects of multi-mode interaction, competition, which endows the fiber laser with new functions and leads to the exploration of new physical mechanism. In this review, we present the recent advances of controlling mode switch and generation employing acousto-optic interactions in few-mode fibers, which includes acousto-optic mechanisms, optical field manipulating devices and novel applications of spatial mode control especially in high-order mode fiber lasers.
In situ charge carrier dynamics of semiconductor nanostructures for advanced photoelectrochemical and photocatalytic applications
Authors: Lai Ting-Hsuan , Katsumata Ken-ichi , Hsu Yung-Jung
Published: November 2020

Using in situ ultrafast laser spectroscopic techniques to monitor the charge dynamics of semiconductor photocatalysts under operating conditions is essential for digging out the veritable interactions between charge carriers and the reactive species. This real-time observation is desirable for optimizing individual components and their integration in advanced photoelectrochemical (PEC) and photocatalytic systems, which can achieve the “Holy Grail” of solar energy harvesting and solar fuel generation. This Review summarizes the recent developments of employing transient absorption spectroscopy for in situ measurements of charge dynamics on semiconductor nanostructures. The implications in the PEC and photocatalytic reactions toward hydrogen production and carbon dioxide reduction will be discussed, along with future outlooks and perspectives.

Oriental Sensitivity: Towards a Poetics of Global Studies
Authors: Metzger Sean
Published: November 2020

This essay elaborates “Oriental sensitivity” as a methodology for studying Chinese cultural flows in locations outside of that nation-state as an index of globalization. The article specifically draws on research that investigates the practice of tai chi on Martinique in dialogue with a larger discourse of Chinese currents in the Atlantic. Oriental sensitivity expands but also specifies Edward Said’s notion of Orientalism in relation to several of his commentators and in relation to the case study by emphasizing the ways in which individual bodies might knowingly and unknowingly structure an Orientalist encounter. The methodology facilitates an analysis of the convergence of ecology, kinship, migrant labor and phenomenology in thinking about how transnational Chinese movements might matter.
Noise at the time of COVID 19: The impact in some areas in Rome and Milan, Italy
Authors: Pagès Rosa Maria Alsina , Alías Francesc , Bellucci Patrizia , Cartolano Pier Paolo , Coppa Ilaria , Peruzzi Laura , Bisceglie Alessandro , Zambon Giovanni
Published: November 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic was confirmed in Italy at the end of January 2020, when the first positive cases for the virus were identified. At the beginning of March, the virus had spread to all Italian regions and on 10 March 2020 the lockdown phase began, limiting the movement of people and prohibiting almost all commercial activities, businesses and non-essential industries. As a result, millions of people were forced to stay at home, causing a drastic drop in traffic volume, which significantly changed the acoustic environment and air quality of cities. On 4 May 2020, the lockdown was partially lifted and activities were progressively reopened. Therefore, traffic gradually started to increase and, consequently, the noise emitted by motor vehicles. This behaviour was confirmed by the data collected by the DYNAMAP system, an automatic platform developed within the LIFE DYNAMAP project, providing real time traffic noise maps in terms of sound pressure levels and impacts at receivers (people and dwellings exposed to noise level bands). In this paper traffic and non-traffic-related noise events in the cities of Rome and Milan from March to May 2020 are analysed and compared to the corresponding values in 2019 to evaluate the effects of the lockdown period.
Assessing the value of a diversified by-product portfolio to allow for increased production flexibility in pulp mills
Authors: Svensson Elin , Edland Rikard , Langner Christian , Harvey Simon
Published: November 2020

This paper presents a model for design optimization of pulp mill steam utility systems subject to variations in energy prices and steam demands. A Scandinavian Kraft pulp mill is used as case study to investigate investment opportunities in lignin extraction and new turbines. The model enables solutions to be identified that are more flexible than the solutions that would have been identified with a corresponding model using, for example, annual average values for key input data. The results from the case study show that lignin extraction has a potential to contribute to flexibility in pulp mill electric power production under certain conditions provided that the mill invests in both lignin extraction and condensing turbine capacity. However, the potential electric power production flexibility will vary over time. In the studied mill, with a capacity increased to around 1.3 million tonnes/a of pulp, it is estimated to vary between 15 and 30 MW. Furthermore, investment in new condensing turbine capacity only seems to be attractive if electricity prices that are considerably higher than the spot prices of recent years are assumed. Such prices may occur if there is a clear value of tradable electricity certificates or if future electricity prices rise significantly.
From reflex to reflection: Moving from the space of causes to the space of reasons and back
Authors: Furstenberg Ariel
Published: November 2020

This article proposes to narrow the gap between the space of reasons and the space of causes. By articulating the standard phenomenology of reasons and causes, we investigate the cases in which the clear-cut divide between reasons and causes starts to break down. Thus, substituting the simple picture of the relationship between the space of reasons and the space of causes with an inverted and complex one, in which reasons can have a causal-like phenomenology and causes can have a reason-like phenomenology. This is attained by focusing on “swift reasoned actions” on the one hand, and on “causal noisy brain mechanisms” on the other hand. In the final part of the article, I show how an analogous move, that of narrowing the gap between one’s normative framework and the space of reasons, can be seen as an extension of narrowing the gap between the space of causes and the space of reasons.

Sustainability consolidation via employment of biomimetic ecomaterials with an accentuated photo-catalytic potential: emerging progressions
Authors: Jaffri Shaan Bibi , Ahmad Khuram Shahzad , Thebo Khalid Hussain , Rehman Faisal
Published: November 2020

Environmental pollution produced due to direct and untreated release of toxic organic pollutants such as dyes from the textile industries is not only effect the human life but also contaminates the ecosystem through different transferal modes. Green nanomaterials synthesized by using biological reducing agents offer sustainable, economically viable, facile, rapid and eco-friendly approach with photocatalytic degradation efficiencies >90% for organic dyes over the other traditional technologies. Current review has for the first time comprehensively abridged the suitability of green nanoparticles over chemogenic nanoparticles, the remediative role of these biogenic nanoparticles with major emphasis on the recent progressions in the photocatalysis of different toxic dyes and pollutants. Unlike physicochemically processed nanoparticles, biogenic nanoparticles has profound contribution to the sustainable development goals due to their cleaner and economical synthesis in addition to their detoxifying role. Meticulous review of the publications are strongly suggestive of the adoptability of biogenic nanoparticles at an implementation scale for their auspicious remediative role in addition to facile fabrication, natural reducing agents based synthetic mode, toxicity free and sustainable nature. However, the studies are also indicative of the need for utilization of biogenic synthesis at practical scale to derive maximum sustainability and ecological benefits.
Between interpretation and the subject: Revisiting Bakhtin’s theory of polyphony
Authors: Zhang Jie , Yu Hongbing
Published: November 2020

This paper affords a critical and historical reappraisal of Bakhtin’s theory of polyphony. It addresses the issue of the subjectivity of interpretation in the reception and formulation of this highly influential theory in literary semiotics. Following a revaluation of three major patterns of interpretation of polyphony that have emerged in the global field of literary theory since 1929, as well as Bakhtin’s shift in emphasis in 1963, we find that Bakhtin’s theorizing of polyphony, based on his seemingly inconsistent interpretation of Dostoevsky’s novels, was defined by his own subjectivity as well. An obvious consequence of such subjective predispositions in both the reception of Bakhtin’s theory and his own treatment of Dostoevsky’s polyphonic novels is that they have instigated a type of perpetuating availability bias in approaching the theory of polyphony. This revelation is key to understanding the wholeness of the theory of polyphony from a diachronic perspective. By tracing the cultural and intellectual sources of Dostoevsky’s polyphonic creation, this paper attempts to reframe and restore the Bakhtinian idea of polyphony to its fullness, which we believe can be encapsulated in one phrase: harmony without uniformity.

The Heroic Programme of Sherlock
Authors: Falkenhayner Nicole
Published: November 2020

Recent years have seen a resurgence of heroic figures and heroizing narratives, pointing to a possible change in contemporary attitudes towards the heroic in contrast to earlier cynicism and irony. While the renewed prominence of heroizations in popular culture has sparked increasing academic interest in the field of cultural studies and has seen wide academic discussion, it has not yet been specifically addressed from the perspective of studies on the role of the heroic in culture. This article outlines the specific strategy the series’ producers and writers followed to recast the archetypal detective, Sherlock Holmes, as a popular hero figure for the present, with a focus on both the discursive as well as the audio-visual elements of this representation. The article makes the argument that figures in twenty-first-century British popular culture reinstall the heroic while they are simultaneously aware of the pitfalls and the ambiguity of sympathy for the hero.

Authors: Käbisch David
Published: November 2020

Die Corona-Pandemie hat einen großen Einfluss auf das Denken, Fühlen und Handeln der Menschen sowie die Gesundheit und das Wohlbefinden von Schülerinnen und Schülern. Der Religionsunterricht an öffentlichen Schulen in Deutschland kann daher eine wichtige Rolle spielen, die damit einhergehenden Herausforderungen zu thematisieren. Dieser Beitrag analysiert unter dieser Voraussetzung Open Educational Resources (OER), die zwischen März und August 2020 erschienen sind. Die untersuchten digitalen Bildungsangebote decken eine große Breite an Themen ab, darunter die Globalisierung von Religion und Bildung, ethische Herausforderungen der Corona-Krise sowie Konflikte um Deutungsmacht- und Wahrheitsansprüche. Dessen ungeachtet bleibt die Frage bestehen, wie es dem Religionsunterricht gelingen kann, sich im Fächerkanon allgemeinbildender Schulen Gehör zu verschaffen.
Ist religiöse Bildung systemrelevant? Überlegungen aus der Perspektive kirchlicher Bildungsmitverantwortung
Authors: Haese Bernd-Michael
Published: November 2020

Der Artikel stellt den Begriff der Systemrelevanz als Maßstab für religiöse Bildung in Frage. Die damit unweigerlich verbundene Hierarchisierung von unterschiedlichen Weltzugängen widerspricht modernen Bildungstheorien, die auf Differenzkompetenz und Handlungsfähigkeit abzielen, und unterstützt eine verlässliche Verankerung des Religionsunterrichts im Schulbetrieb nicht. Dort droht der Religionsunterricht derzeit zwischen Organisationsnöten und begründetem Anspruch auf verfassungskonforme Erteilung verloren zu gehen.

El objetivo del artículo es analizar la percepción de directores acerca de la autonomía de los centros educativos en el contexto de transición de la Nueva Gestión Pública (NPG) a la Post Nueva Gestión Pública (PNGP). Para eso, sistematizamos las principales características de la NGP y de la PNGP, lo que respaldó el análisis documental y la encuesta de opinión aplicada a directores de centros educativos que actúan en el Programa Ensino Integral (PEI) de la red pública de enseñanza del Estado de São Paulo, Brasil. Los resultados indicaron que el PEI tiene características muy alineadas a la NGP, aunque haya estrategias que empiezan a dirigirse a la PNGP. Los datos revelaron que la percepción de los directores con relación al PEI es muy positiva y que incluso contribuye al fortalecimiento de la autonomía de los centros educativos y del trabajo del director.
Use of object shape priors for fractographic image segmentation
Authors:   Karpenko Physico-Mechanical Institute of the NAS of Ukraine, Mandziy T.S.
Published: November 2020

Approach to efficient level-set model with shape priors for images segmentation is considered. The use of edge based level-set model in combination with principal component analysis (PCA) based shape priors for image segmentation is investigated. Shape priors considered as a tool to cope with proper segmentation of overlapping or partially visible objects on input image. It is argued that in some cases consequent optimization of different groups of parameters can be advantageous in comparison to simultaneous optimization of all parameters. The approach was applied for segmentation of fractographic images obtained by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Experimental results for image segmentation using level-set model with shape priors are presented.

Diana, Aurelia e le altre: attrici e capocomiche dell’ultimo duca di Mantova
Authors:   Università degli Studi di Firenze, Zaccaria Michela
Published: November 2020

This article introduces the activity of artistic directors Teresa Costantini, Angela Paghetti, and Colomba Coppa in the service of Ferdinando Carlo Gonzaga-Nevers, their generous patron and the last Duke of Mantua. Referencing studies that were initiated 30 years ago in the field of musicology and using recent historical research and archival sources, the essay highlights the artistic, organisational, and management responsibilities of commedia dell’arte directors. It reconstructs their relations with Ferdinando Carlo, ducal agents, and the Gonzaga court, while also focussing on their relations with Venetian Grimani impresarios, with whom the Duke of Mantua had established a lasting and generous collaboration. Performing women, prejudicially equated with prostitutes and beneficiaries of gifts and privileges, were depictions of love and glory for a discredited prince, whose array of artists was, however, amongst the most dense and dynamic in Italy. Actresses progressively moved away from the codes of courtliness and, as professionals registered and paid with money, they came to have strong bargaining power and levels of autonomy. However, they were subjected to rules and obligations, especially in Venice, where theatre owners made spaces available only to companies under the protection of the princes who were politically aligned with the Serenissima. During the years of the so-called Spanish succession war, Diana, Aurelia, and the others moved between Venice, Mantua, and Casale, where Ferdinando Carlo had moved after the blockade of Mantua, accompanied by a colourful procession of women, musicians, and commedia actors. Through theatrical misadventures mingled with military manoeuvres in Mantuan territory, and via changes of destination, programme, or repertoire, we read the story of a duchy that had lost its identity and of a rapidly changing theatrical market.
Contro la minaccia della cultura locale. Gli aspetti performativi dell’identità culturale in mPalermu e ne La Carnezzeria di Emma Dante
Authors:   Uniwersytet Jagielloński w Krakowie, Bal Ewa
Published: November 2020

Taking into account important changes that have taken place in the last 20 years in the fields of performance studies and cultural studies (especially de- and post-colonial studies) regarding the way in which local cultures and ethnicity are represented in the theatre and interpreted in the humanities, this article revises the ways of presenting local cultures in the Italian dialect theatre of the last decade. This analysis shows how a hegemonic (at least until recently) dramatic model developed by Eduardo de Filippo and based on producing nostalgia towards an idealised past of a local culture needs to be critically reformulated, especially from the perspective of a young generation of female artists who work in the field of dialect theatre. To this end, in this article, the author analyses the performing strategies of two of Emma Dante’s plays, mPalermu and Carnezzeria, to prove that localness is not an essentially understood characteristic of a certain community, but, rather, it should be seen as a complex performative, repetitive practice that is both bodily and discursive. Conversely, the author points out that these practices should be examined in depth and seen as a kind of cultural oppression that serves as a camouflage of some deeper imprinted relationships based on violence and domination. The examples of Emma Dante’s plays from the beginning of her career allow the author to also cast a critical gaze at an issue of primordialism, raised by Arjun Appadurai and seen as a way of viewing the Other. The latter reflects a voyeuristic pleasure of the Western world, coming from the sense of dominance over allegedly underdeveloped and primitive cultures. Emma Dante’s theatre, according to the author of this article, is an example of de-colonial artistic practice, as it subversively uses the voyeuristic inclinations of the viewer to denounce the violent character of local Sicilian scripts of behaviour that, until now, had usually been leftunsaid in public debate.
Ripensare a Cani di bancata di Emma Dante. I travestimenti androgini di Mammasantissima
Authors:   Università degli Studi di Pisa, Barsotti Anna
Published: November 2020

The essay reflects on Emma Dante, the unusual and versatile artist (theatre manager, actress-author, film and opera director). Emma Dante’s story condenses different and apparently conflicting experiences and knowledge (the Academy of Dramatic Arts in Rome, the teachings of Vacis in Turin, the laboratories with Cesare Ronconi) before the foundation of the Sud Costa Occidentale group in Palermo, in 1999, with its subsequent transformations continuing until today. The result is an irregular figure of a “matriarch”, in the fruitful vein of new Sicilian dramaturgy, which takes nourishment from the land of origin but with which she feeds a collective and authorial theatre. This theatre is both dramatic (indeed tragi-comic) and post-dramatic, with European depth, and it is not spared of controversy and criticism, as it is awkward and uncomfortable. The analysis of her performance in Cani di bancata (2006) aims to highlight themes and styles connected to a feminism that goes beyond gender in the strict sense but that is able to become a metaphor of a world and a human diversity that involves and disturbs us through an irreverent gaze.

Published: November 2020

Resumen El semiárido brasileño frecuentemente se ve afectado por sequías prolongadas. Durante el período 2010-2017, la región semiárida brasileña enfrentó la “sequía del siglo”, considerada la peor registrada en la historia del país. Este artículo tiene como objetivo hacer una evaluación histórica de diferentes fases de las políticas públicas implementadas en la región, con el fin de promover la convivencia con la sequía. Con base en una investigación histórica documental y el monitoreo satelital de los impactos de las sequías, se analizaron las acciones gubernamentales que contribuyeron a brindar una mayor disponibilidad de agua en la región semiárida brasileña, con énfasis en el análisis de la efectividad de la gestión del agua y los impactos de las tecnologías sociales para el almacenamiento del agua de lluvia en comunidades rurales dispersas. Los resultados de la investigación evidenciaron que las políticas implementadas a lo largo de la historia, con frecuencia en un modelo centralizado, no fueron efectivas en el desarrollo de la región. Recientemente, el acceso a las tecnologías sociales hídricas descentralizadas en las zonas rurales, están mostrando resultados positivos. Sin embargo, aún no es una realidad universal para la población que vive en la región. Por tanto, se concluye que las políticas hídricas siguen siendo insuficientes para hacer frente a los impactos de las sequías. El estudio aporta importantes lecciones históricas para la gestión del agua en la actualidad.

Guerreiras ou Anjos? As Mulheres Brasileiras e a Grande Guerra
Authors: Rocha Elaine Pereira
Published: November 2020

Resumo: A Primeira Guerra Mundial foi um fenômeno de repercussão internacional que ocorreu em meio a inúmeras transformações nos âmbitos econômico, político, social e cultural. Sua repercussão no Brasil aconteceu principalmente a partir de 1917, quando, reagindo a uma agressão direta, o governo declarou guerra à Alemanha. Este artigo reflete os debates sobre a participação das mulheres na Guerra, nas funções de enfermeiras e soldadas. A formação da Legião Feminina da Morte, na Rússia, causou grande impacto ao mostrar ao mundo as imagens de mulheres trajando uniformes militares masculinos e participando em combates diretos. Da mesma forma, o apelo da Cruz Vermelha por voluntárias se transformou num clamor internacional. Em meio a tudo isso, havia ainda a agenda feminista e sufragista e as discussões sobre o papel da mulher na sociedade moderna.

Resumo: Este artigo baseia-se em algumas questões que levam a repensar os debates da ‘criminologia feminista’ no Brasil e propor formulações criativas para pensar outras formas de enfrentamento da violência de gênero, incluindo movimentos sociais compartilhados que utilizam recursos tecnológicos como estratégias de resistência. Propõe-se o uso de hashtags como ferramentas feministas de análise para compreender os fenômenos da violência localizada. Para tanto, serão utilizadas as hashtags #meuprimeiroassedio, #chegadefiufiu e #meuamigosecreto para analisar novos significados de justiça promovidos pelos movimentos feministas, que aparentemente não priorizam o uso do poder punitivo. Da mesma forma, busca-se, por meio do movimento #EleNão, reconhecido como tecnopolítica democrática feminista, reformular as possibilidades de analisar o campo criminológico e enfrentar a violência de gênero a partir de uma perspectiva micro e macropolítica.

Resumen: La investigación “Pioneras de la arquitectura ecuatoriana” propone una búsqueda histórica para reconocer y visibilizar a las mujeres que han contribuido a la arquitectura en Ecuador hasta 1980. La detección de perfiles relevantes se realizó mediante la revisión de archivos de las primeras facultades de arquitectura del país y de bibliografía local especializada, complementando datos cuantitativos con entrevistas. La mirada feminista con la que se abordó el estudio cuestiona la profesión no solo desde la perspectiva de género, sino desde sus estructuras que resaltan sólo contribuciones tangibles. Este texto, mediante una discusión crítica, reivindica la producción intelectual de la primera generación de arquitectas, quienes destacaron principalmente en la academia, historia y teoría.

ABSTRACT The ‘Gueroba’ fruit can be used to produce flours with potential for the development of new products from the ‘Cerrado’ socio-biodiversity. The objective was to estimate the drying kinetics and determine the effective diffusion coefficient and activation energy for the pulp of ‘gueroba’ fruits subjected to different drying temperatures. ‘Gueroba’ fruits were manually pulped, removing the mesocarp with the epicarp, and this material was identified as the pulp. The material was subjected to oven drying at temperatures of 40, 50, 60 and 70 °C. Nonlinear regression models were fitted to the experimental data. The most adequate model was selected through the coefficient of determination, mean relative and estimated errors, Chi-square test, AIC and BIC. As the drying temperature increases, the processing time to achieve the same moisture content decreases, due to the increase in water diffusivity inside the product. The Midilli model showed the best fit to the experimental data obtained. The effective diffusion coefficients of the pulp of ‘gueroba’ fruits showed magnitudes between 3.11 x 10-9 to 5.84 x 10-9 m2 s-1 for temperatures from 40 to 70 °C. The activation energy of the process was 18.34 kJ mol-1.

ABSTRACT In the present study, the objective was to fit different models to the experimental data of drying of tamarind (Tamarindus indica L.) seeds and to select the best model, to determine the effective diffusion coefficient, activation energy and thermodynamic properties for the process during drying at different temperatures. The experiment was carried out at the Laboratory of Post-Harvest of Vegetable Products of the Instituto Federal Goiano (Federal Institute Goiano) - Campus of Rio Verde, GO, Brazil. Seeds with initial moisture content of 18 ± 0.25% dry basis were oven dried with forced air ventilation, at controlled temperatures of 45, 60, 75 and 90 °C in four repetitions. Nonlinear regression models used to describe the phenomenon were fitted to the experimental data. To represent the drying of tamarind seeds, the Midilli model was selected for the range from 45 to 60 ºC and the Two terms model was selected for the range from 75 to 90 ºC. The effective diffusion coefficient increases with the increase of drying air temperature, being described by the Arrhenius equation, with activation energy of 35.16 kJ mol-1. Enthalpy and entropy decreases, while Gibbs free energy increases with increasing drying temperature.
Numerical-experimental comparison of radial fans applied in pneumatic transport of agricultural fertilizer spreaders

Published: November 2020

ABSTRACT This study presents a numerical and experimental comparison of two different types of radial fans used in an agricultural fertilizer spreader at a rotation of 4000 rpm. The numerical analysis was validated through experiments conducted on a test bench using a hot-wire anemometer for velocity measurements and a Pitot tube for pressure readings. A simulation of the agricultural fertilizer spreader was carried out after the experimental validation of the mathematical models of the radial fans on the test bench to evaluate the air distribution behavior along the application nozzles, which was compared to the experimental results. A turbulent mean-field was obtained using the Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) and the k-Epsilon turbulence model was used for two equations. The computational fluid dynamics software CFX 18.1 was used to solve the transport equations. Unstructured tetrahedral meshes generated by the ICEM CFD 18.1 software were used in all models. The applied method is adequate and able to reproduce the fluid-dynamic behavior of airflow in pneumatic systems of agricultural fertilizer spreaders, avoiding the need for prototypes.
O Conceito de Constante na Representação Gráfica: uma análise das projeções de preço de ações realizadas por estudantes de Engenharia
Authors: Hofmann Ruth M.
Published: November 2020

Resumo O presente artigo resulta de uma iniciativa exploratória de identificação dos conhecimentos prévios, da compreensão e das intuições de 47 estudantes de Engenharia acerca do comportamento dos preços de ações de empresas de diferentes setores econômicos. A proposta, realizada no início do semestre da disciplina de Economia para um curso de Engenharia, tinha como finalidade pedagógica identificar de que forma os estudantes projetam e, sobretudo, justificam o comportamento dos preços de ações utilizando (ou não) elementos de micro ou macroeconomia. Mais precisamente, à luz da teoria dos registros de representação semiótica, este trabalho dedica-se à interpretação de um fenômeno particularmente curioso identificado entre as descrições apresentadas pelos estudantes: o emprego da palavra constante (e suas derivações) para qualificar o comportamento de gráficos que, de fato, não são constantes na acepção literal e matemática do termo. Os resultados obtidos, quando comparados com a literatura anterior que identificou a tendência de estudantes de produzirem gráficos lineares, divergem por indicarem algo oposto, inclusive em função da natureza da atividade proposta. Os alunos não produziram gráficos lineares que aderissem às suas descrições textuais, indicando dificuldades de conceitualização e de coordenação de registros de representação semiótica distintos. Em contrapartida, quando os resultados são confrontados com estudos que identificaram uma tendência a simplificar ou suavizar gráficos, pôde-se constatar no presente estudo uma tendência à simplificação, flexibilização ou suavização conceitual e semântica da palavra constante.

RESUMEN En este trabajo, examinamos las actitudes hacia la estadística descriptiva y su enseñanza en una muestra de 126 futuros profesores de matemática españoles y chilenos. Siguiendo una metodología cuantitativa, profundizamos en analizar el sentido (positivo o negativo) de las actitudes declaradas por los participantes. Entre los resultados, comenzamos refiriéndonos a la validez del instrumento utilizado, para luego explorar la disposición de los sujetos hacia los distintos componentes de actitudes considerados, finalizando con las principales diferencias según el país de procedencia. Se concluye que los participantes declaran actitudes positivas hacia la estadística descriptiva y su enseñanza, las que son más positivas frente a la acción didáctica en los sujetos chilenos.
A VULNERABILIDADE DO PROFESSOR DIANTE DOS DESAFIOS DA EDUCAÇÃO AMBIENTAL
Authors: dos Santos-Junior Robiran José , Fischer Marta Luciane
Published: November 2020

Resumo Objetivou-se caracterizar o papel do educador de ensino básico diante dos desafios da educação ambiental. A concepção e representação, acessadas por meio de questionário, constataram o envolvimento pessoal e profissional com a educação ambiental contrastante a uma inexpressiva participação em projetos. A análise apontou os obstáculos enfrentados que compreendem a urgência do tema, mas demonstra dificuldade para colocá-lo em prática principalmente em virtude da falta de capacitação, apoio das instituições e envolvimento da coletividade escolar. Levantou-se a pluralidade de fatores que colocam o educador ambiental em uma posição de vulnerabilidade e propôs-se a bioética ambiental como agregadora de diversos saberes na tentativa de mediar idoneamente esses desafios.
ESCOLA DE ENFERMAGEM DE SÃO PAULO: O MODELO EDUCACIONAL-PROFISSIONAL SESP
Authors: Campos Paulo Fernando de Souza , Carrijo Alessandra Rosa , Campoi Isabela Candeloro
Published: November 2020

Resumo O artigo analisa a formação profissional da enfermagem pós-1930 como parte de um processo histórico que redimensionou a profissão e sua profissionalização no Brasil. Por intermédio de documentos que remetem à experiência das primeiras alunas da Escola de Enfermagem de São Paulo, considera-se que o movimento evoca uma ruptura em relação tanto às origens quanto à manutenção das representações estabelecidas. Derivadas da instalação de um novo modelo de ensino oriundo dos Estados Unidos, mudanças processadas transferem para São Paulo o núcleo intelectual da enfermagem no Brasil, que passa a ser o centro irradiador da profissionalidade preconizada e como parte de acordos bilaterais realizados durante o Estado Novo.
L’ENQUETE NARRATIVE : ENTRE DESCRIPTION DU VECU ET CONFIGURATION BIOGRAPHIQUE
Authors: Breton Hervé
Published: November 2020

Résumé L’enquête narrative a pour spécificité de chercher à comprendre le vécu du sujet en mobilisant des récits d’expérience « en première personne ». Elle vise l’appréhension et la compréhension des processus d’édification des « points de vue » à partir d’une activité narrative qui suppose deux passages : celui de l’expérience au langage (soit la mise en mots du vécu), celui du texte à l’histoire (soit la configuration biographique du récit). L’activité narrative par laquelle procède cette forme d’enquête suppose d’effectuer des actes qui rendent possible son accomplissement. L’enjeu de cet article est de caractériser ces régimes narratifs, d’en formaliser les procédés, et de spécifier les types d’effets générés sur les processus de compréhension, de formation de soi et de constitution de connaissances.
