VULNERABILIDAD DE LA CUENCA DEL RÍO JUAN DÍAZ, PANAMÁ
Authors: Castillo Caraballo Ronald
Published: June 2022

La cuenca del río Juan Díaz se sitúa en la vertiente del Pacífico, dentro de la provincia de Panamá. Ocupa una superficie de 322 km2, representando el 0.46% del territorio nacional. Sus límites naturales son: Al norte, con la Cuenca Hidrográfica del Canal; al sur, con la bahía de Panamá; al este, con la cuenca del Río Pacora; y al oeste, con la cuenca del río Matasnillo. El río principal de la cuenca es el río Juan Díaz, con una longitud total de 22.5 km., con caudal medio de 5.7 m3/s; corre desde las montañas de Cerro Azul hasta la bahía de Panamá. En los últimos años, fenómenos naturales como las inundaciones han presentado amenazas en esta cuenca, produciendo grandes daños físicos, debido a intervenciones humanas, que han limitado la capacidad de infiltración del agua. Para la medición de este estudio, se realizaron entrevistas aleatorias a personas que viven en la zona próxima al río Juan Díaz. El instrumento se estructuró en 3 secciones: 1. Presentación; 2. Datos personales; 3. Preguntas. La vulnerabilidad de la cuenca de Juan Díaz se debe en parte, al poco mantenimiento de los sistemas de canales pluviales, la ubicación de residencias y comercios en planicies de inundación, que disminuye espacio natural al río para depositar sus excedentes de agua durante las lluvias. Adicionalmente las inundaciones se agravan con la acumulación de desechos en quebradas y ríos; la falta de bosques, manglares y el irrespeto a la servidumbre de los ríos.

Authors: Lobo Campos Ana María
Published: June 2022

La educación es uno de los pilares más importantes de nuestra sociedad y, por ende, la necesidad de crear proyectos educativos innovadores y tecnológicos que ayuden a nuestra comunidad a colaborar de una manera integral con contenidos de algunas áreas de prioridad que necesitan ser atendidos, para hacer de ellas un aprendizaje más significativo y eficiente a la hora de utilizarlo, es urgente. El valor de la educación en algunas áreas como matemáticas, ciencias y física va mucho más allá de lo que se puede evidenciar con datos. Surgió el deseo de implementar una propuesta basada en la innovación, puesto que en la mayoría de las instituciones educativas existe una relación muy lejana con la tecnología, los libros físicos no eran actualizables, muchos quedaban en abandono y brindaban una interacción limitada al momento de estudiar. CSGBooks permitirá recaudar datos de áreas fundamentales para el alumnado, se puede ver y medir el grado de dificultad de estas, a causa de la falta de libros de textos gratuitos que ayudan a desarrollar experiencias pedagógicas de manera más eficiente posible. La tecnología juega un papel fundamental en todo este proceso y permite interactuar de manera directa con cada estudiante, a través de prácticas educativas en línea, más visuales y atractivas, con la finalidad de hacer que la educación sea impartida de manera más universal. Aprender a resolver problemas, razonamiento cuantitativo, exploración, innovación, colaboración, el análisis, la originalidad, pensamiento crítico y lógico, estas son las habilidades necesarias para respaldar carreras desde el desarrollo tecnológico hasta la astronomía, desde la ciencia de datos hasta las finanzas, desde la ingeniería hasta la economía. Estas son las habilidades que necesitamos para la innovación, el crecimiento o el cambio y son las que CSGBooks pretenderá ofrecer. Se aplicó una encuesta a una pequeña muestra de la población estudiantil y se confirmó la importancia de desarrollar esta propuesta.

Published: June 2022

Apabila Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP) dilaksanakan disebabkan oleh penularan wabak Covid-19, maka sesi persekolahan secara bersemuka telah ditutup. Walau bagaimanapun, sesi pengajaran dan pembelajaran (PdP) diteruskan secara dalam talian. Sesi pengajaran dan pembelajaran dalam talian ini juga melibatkan murid berkeperluan khas dan guru pendidikan khas. Kajian ini telah dijalankan untuk meneroka bagaimana guru pendidikan khas mengajar murid berkeperluan khas ini secara dalam talian sepanjang PKP dan cabaran yang dihadapi oleh guru pendidikan khas semasa melaksanakan pengajaran secara dalam talian. Kajian kualitatif ini telah menemu bual 10 orang guru pendidikan khas yang mengajar murid berkeperluan khas di kelas Program Pendidikan Khas Integrasi (PPKI) sekolah rendah di sekitar daerah Pengerang Kota Tinggi Johor. Kesemua peserta kajian merupakan guru pendidikan khas yang mempunyai kelayakan ijazah dan juga sarjana dalam opsyen pendidikan khas. Dapatan kajian, mendapati bahawa guru pendidikan khas ini menggunakan kaedah “telegram”, “whatsapps”, “live worksheet” dan “google meet” dalam melaksanakan PdP dalam talian. Manakala cabaran utama yang dihadapi oleh guru pendidikan khas ini ialah faktor capaian internet yang lemah dan kurangnya kemahiran mengendalikan aplikasi dalam talian. Kesimpulannya, terdapat pelbagai platform boleh digunakan oleh guru namun ianya tidak lari daripada cabaran yang harus dihadapi sepanjang melaksanakan PdP secara dalam talian dengan baik. Seterusnya, dapatan dalam kajian ini boleh dijadikan titik permulaan dan cadangan kepada pihak berkuasa seperti pihak kementerian pendidikan Malaysia dalam membantu menangani masalah dan cabaran yang timbul sepanjang guru menjalankan PdP secara dalam talian.

Authors: Вeryozkina Natalya Y.
Published: June 2022

The article discusses various criteria for evaluation the efficiency of library activities. Foreign experts have developed various methods for measuring the efficiency of libraries: ServQUAL, LibQUAL, method of Data Enveloped Analysis, method of Total Quality Management, Best Value. Particular attention is paid to documents prepared with the assistance of IFLA. R. Poll and P. Bockhorst made a significant contribution to the development of indicators that allow a multidimensional assessment of the activities of libraries. The Balanced scorecard was used to develop indicators for assessing the efficiency of libraries in the Republic of Belarus. The use of benchmarking based on a comparative analysis of results of library activities for certain parameters or of the same type of libraries is of interest. It is important to assess

the activities of libraries by the population. The decisive role is

played by the «social effect» – the satisfaction of cultural,

social, educational, information needs of the population with

the assistance of libraries. Russian specialists I. Pilko and

S. Mukhamedieva proposed a composite index of the efficiency of library activities – a set of indicators of social, economic, organizational, technological efficiency. The experience of foreign specialists in the field of librarianship was useful in conducting the scientific research «To develop qualitative indicators of the efficiency of the activities of cultural organizations of the Republic of Belarus, taking into account international experience».

Role of A.M. Bochever in the development of specialized bibliography and the Central Scientific Agricultural Library
Authors: Pirumova Lidia N.
Published: June 2022

The article presents the main stages of the A.M. Bochever’s biography, a known specialist in special bibliography and library science, who worked in the Central Scientific Agricultural Library (CSAL) for 27 years and 19 years of that period he held the position of the director. A.M. Bochever acted as an author and editor of different bibliographic textbooks. He published above 100 works; in particular he was a co-author of a textbook on agricultural bibliography “Literature on Agriculture”. He made a

substantial contribution to the theory of library science and

bibliography, as well as the establishment and development of

the CSAL. The A.M. Bochever’s views are presented with

respect to bibliography and its place in the society, the

problems of a library, the separation of functions of a library

and scientific and technical information bodies, the role of

coordination and cooperation in the activity of agricultural

libraries. He regarded bibliography as a basis for all types of

scientific and technical information, emphasized its social and

cultural role. He proposed to consider the bibliography of

agricultural literature as an independent branch of general

bibliography. He promoted creating in the CSAL of a

bibliographical information system comprising alert (an

initiator of creation), recommendatory, retrospective and

current bibliography. In the 1960s he organized in the CSAL

the Centralized Bibliographical Information (CBI): the

distribution of a ready catalog card which was both the

centralized catalogization of publications on agriculture, as

well as the current bibliographical information. He advocated

for coordination of the work of libraries and their cooperation

in library service. The A.M. Bochever’s ideas were reflected in

series of industry-wide methodical documents, including

“Regulation on the Unified System of Scientific Technical

Information of the USSR State Agriculture Committee”.

THE ROLE OF BANK LOAN AND INFORMAL FINANCIAL INSTITUTION FINANCING ON INVESTMENT: EVIDENCE FROM NIGERIA
Authors: Nnaemeka N Obasi , Dara Beatrice Isah
Published: June 2022

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the effectiveness of bank loan and informal financing of businesses in achieving increased investment. The study also aimed to ascertain if money supply is related to investment.

Methodology: This study adopted co-integration with vector error correction and Granger causality technique to investigate the impact of bank loan on investment computed from time series data covering the period of 1982-2019. Furthermore, this study uses logistic regression analysis to ascertain if informal external finance to businesses increases investment. The study covered a sample size of 265 small and medium scale enterprises using a structured questionnaire with random sampling technique to investigate the role of informal financial institution financing in investment in Nigeria. 

Findings: The empirical evidence from the normalised long run equilibrium indicates that bank loan and money supply positively relate to investment. The short run dynamics supports the co-integration results by being appropriately signed and statistically significant. Results from the diagnostic tests suggest that the long run and short run results are not spurious. Result from logistic regression analysis shows that informal external finance to businesses contributes to investment. Thus, good policies should be put in place to encourage informal and formal financial institutions to give loans to business enterprises.

Unique contribution to practice and policy: Its unique contribution to practice and policy is that this study empirically reveals how Nigeria’s investment can be improved using post-Keynesian endogenous model. Consequently, policy makers will shift in line with the findings. Policy makers should ensure that policies that encourage formal and informal financial institutions to give loans to businesses are put in place to help improve the level of investment in Nigeria.

Os limites da moderação de conteúdo nas redes sociais à luz da democracia e dos direitos fundamentais
Authors: Freitas Cinthia Obladen de Almendra , Sousa Devilson da Rocha
Published: June 2022

Têm sido as redes sociais as responsáveis por ampliar e estender o exercício das liberdades individuais, em especial a liberdade de expressão, e possibilitar maior participação democrática. Apesar destes benefícios, o uso descontrolado das plataformas digitais têm causado impactos e prejuízos significativos à democracia e às instituições de Estado. Estes impactos têm colocado em risco algumas premissas que são a base de sustentação do atual modelo de Estado Democrático de Direito. Como forma de corrigir e redirecionar esta rota, ou mesmo, tomando ciência de suas potencialidades e dos riscos que as ações produzidas no mundo digital podem causar no mundo físico, algumas plataformas já têm buscado métodos para limitar a atuação de seus usuários e mesmo bani-los do uso de seus serviços quando suas condutas de alguma forma violarem os seus termos de uso. Diante desse cenário, a presente pesquisa busca investigar em que medida a exclusão de usuários por parte de plataformas digitais, especificamente o Facebook e Twitter, pode impactar o contexto da democracia do século XXI e os direitos fundamentais dos usuários. Para responder aos questionamentos elegidos na presente pesquisa, será feito uso do método hipotético-dedutivo, com procedimento monográfico e técnicas de pesquisa resumida em consulta bibliográfica. Como resultado preliminar, verificou-se que a questão da exclusão, bloqueio ou banimento de usuários de redes sociais ainda é um ponto que enseja demasiada discussão, uma vez que as ações até então tomadas pelas plataformas digitais produziram muito mais incertezas e foram pouco eficientes no sentido de apresentar um caminho seguro a ser seguido. Tal conclusão se dá pela ausência de adoção de critérios objetivos quando da tomada destas decisões, bem como pela falta de discussão da (eventual) participação das instituições do Estado em uma temática que tem o condão de impactar significativamente algumas garantias e liberdades individuais dos cidadãos.
Bolsa de Energia “Energy Exchange”
Authors: Iwamoto Eduardo
Published: June 2022

Nos últimos dez anos o Brasil tem sofrido com longos períodos de estiagem, fato inédito em mais de 70 anos de monitoramento da vazão hídrica nacional. Tal condição revelou algumas fragilidades da matriz energética que são indiferentes à crise hídrica, pois utiliza um modelo computacional para promover o controle de inserção de energia elétrica no sistema e estabelece o preço da energia no mercado de curto prazo, denominado de Preço de Liquidação das Diferenças - PLD. A estiagem obriga o Operador Nacional do Sistema – ONS, entidade responsável por controlar o fluxo de energia elétrica no sistema, a recorrer à geração térmica, muito mais cara que a energia de fonte hídrica. Problemas como alta volatilidade do PLD, que repercute na fragilidade de mecanismos de liquidez de contratos de compra e venda de energia elétrica no mercado livre, tem causado contaminação sistêmica e prejuízos aos agentes. A falta de liquidez desses contratos gera instabilidade no mercado livre. Se por um lado o MME imprime esforços para viabilizar um mercado livre de energia, a desconfiança por outro lado é um caminho em outra direção. O objetivo do presente trabalho é debater a viabilidade de implementação de uma bolsa de energia elétrica, analisando os benefícios em relação à robustez e segurança dos negócios jurídicos através dos mecanismos existentes no mercado financeiro. O primeiro resultado da pesquisa foi a conclusão que os contratos negociados no mercado livre possuem características financeiras muito próximas aos derivativos negociados em bolsa de valores, facilitando a implementação de um mercado a termo, com objetivo de criar padrões de contratos de energia e dar sinais claros de precificação. Outro resultado foi a análise de operações de hedge, adotados em bolsa de valores, como por exemplo: câmara de compensação e liquidação; derivativos, arbitragem, swap e opções. Tais operações financeiras podem trazer mais segurança às negociações, afastando risco de iliquidez e melhorando as garantias de entrega física de energia elétrica. Concluiu-se que uma bolsa de energia já está em rota de implementação. As discussões do Grupo de Trabalho de Modernização do Setor, promovido pelo Ministério de Minas e Energia – MME, tem avançado nesse sentido. Iniciativas de entidades privadas como a Brasil, Bolsa e Balcão - B3 e o Balcão Brasileiro de Comercialização de Energia - BBCE, com propostas de prestação de serviços vinculados a derivativos. Ainda há muito a ser discutido, pois algumas reformas no marco legal e no âmbito regulatório devem ser implementadas para trazer mais segurança e previsibilidade aos operadores do mercado de energia.
A dificuldade da procuradoria do município de Castelo na era digital
Authors: Queiroz Bruna Bisi Ferreira de
Published: June 2022

Este trabalho visa analisar o uso da tecnologia nos órgãos da administração por meio do estudo de caso da Procuradoria do município de Castelo, no Estado do Espírito Santo, por meio de revisão bibliográfica para identificar quais as vantagens do uso da tecnologia e quais os maiores desafios vividos pelos municípios do interior, particularmente através da vivência na procuradoria municipal. Um estudo que se propõe a analisar o uso da tecnologia a partir de uma experiência prática e identificar um desafio dos municípios de pequeno porte na era digital. É um tema de grande relevância uma vez que os municípios pequenos são a maioria no território nacional. A Pandemia da Covid-19 levou todos os setores para a era tecnológica de uma forma abrupta. Em relação à administração pública não foi diferente e muitos serviços, senão todos, passaram a ser realizados em plataformas digitais e com o uso da tecnologia. Ocorre que a realidade de muitos municípios brasileiros está longe de ser adequada para esta nova era. O Município de Castelo, no interior do Estado do Espírito Santo, por exemplo, desde a sua emancipação em 25 de dezembro de 1928, até 22 de outubro de 2018, não havia a compilação de suas leis. Somente em 2018, o Município efetivou a contratação de um site de leis municipais para ter todas as leis acessíveis online e compiladas. Esta situação atrapalha e muito no exercício e eficácia da atividade desenvolvida pelos procuradores municipais. Além disso, a pandemia ocasionou um excesso de judicialização o que gera a necessidade de adequação e disrrupção da administração pública para a tornar a prestação dos serviços de forma ágil e efetiva. A dificuldade de trabalho dos procuradores do Município de Castelo é enorme, principalmente em um mundo tão tecnológico. Os municípios do interior têm muitas dificuldades de se adequar às situações que são apresentadas, e a Fazenda Pública destes não está preparada. A realidade é que não existe qualquer processo de automação no Município de Castelo. Os processos ainda não protocolados manualmente, e os parecerem feitos um a um, sem a presença de qualquer sistema que identifique o objeto e o assunto do processo para que o trabalho seja muito mais produtivo e efetivo. A dificuldade de trabalho e a atuação cada vez mais expressiva dos órgãos de controle provoca uma total paralisia da Fazenda Pública, um apagão da administração. Dessa forma, importante lançar um olhar consciente para uma boa e segura atuação dos advogados públicos e reconhecimento de seu trabalho para uma boa gestão da administração pública.

The Consortium for Environmental Forestry Studies
Authors: Sandiford Glenn
Published: June 2022

The Consortium for Environmental Forestry Studies brought together the U.S. Forest Service and as many as twelve northeastern universities to collaborate on urban forestry research. The Consortium was organized into nine working groups of scientists in the areas of forest amenities, air quality, genetics, insects and disease, planning and management, social and behavioral issues, soils, water resources, and wildlife. Between 1971 -84, the Forest Service awarded these working groups more than $2.8 million in research grants. Their research gave rise to a whole new body of information, several important symposia, and a number of major texts. The Consortium also facilitated communication and interaction in urban forestry. In 1986, the Consortium ceased to function, though not before it had provided a new component of forestry with a strong sense of identity and direction, established a permanent constituency of professional contacts and organizations, and generated a wealth of knowledge about how the urban forest can best meet the demands of urbanite populations.

Urbanities Willingness to Pay for Trees and Forests in Recreation Areas
Authors: Dwyer John , Schroeder Herbert , Louviere Jordan , Anderson Donald
Published: June 2022

A study of urbanites who use parks and forest preserves indicates that they are willing to pay substantial amounts to have trees and forests in recreation areas. Individuals were asked to choose from paired descriptions of hypothetical recreation areas that varied widely in attributes, including user fees. Analysis indicated the additional fees they would willingly pay for particular attributes, for example, an additional $1.60 per visit to have a site that was "mostly wooded, some open grassy areas under trees," rather than "mowed grass, very few trees anywhere." Variations in preferences and willingness to pay were identified for five distinct market segments. The results reaffirm the importance of trees and forests in recreation areas to urbanites, and identify variations in preferences.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study is to design a parabolic controller that can seek for Ku-band satellite signals automatically which controlled by the Atmega328 microcontroller, by using two servo motor as activator to stirring the parabola toward west to east and also stirring toward north to south. The program on the microcontroller gives the command to move 2 motor serves and stop it if there is an audio signal detected by the comparator which sent to the microcontroller.

        The results of this study are design and generation of parabola control tool which move to looking for signals on ku-band. The reflector that used is made by steel plate on a diameter of 45 cm with a height of 39 cm focus pole. The design of this parabolic controller consists of 5 main components where the first component is a supporting post of a reflector made by iron, the second component is reflector with diameter of 45 centimeter that made by iron, the third component is LNB as receiver of the signal reflected by the reflector, the fourth component is network comparator with IC LM324 and the fifth is microcontroller as a controller movement of a parabola.

Published: June 2022

Since daily energy needs are increasing, it is imperative to find ways to save energy, such as improving the energy consumption of buildings. Heating Ventilating and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) loads account for the majority of a building's energy use. The accurate estimation of energy consumption and the examination of various ways to improve the energy efficiency of buildings are very important. This paper presents an analysis of HVAC loads in a residential building by examining three Neural Networks (NNs): Feed-Forward (FF), Cascaded Forward Backpropagation (CFBP), and Elman Backpropagation (EBP) networks, based on Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Mean Square Error (MSE), and Mean Relative Error (MRE). Furthermore, these networks were combined in hybrid NNs to obtain more optimized results. These results were also compared with other approaches and showed better prediction performance.
Compatibilizando Autopoiese e Atribuições Funcionais

Ao estruturarem sua compreensão dos seres vivos enquanto máquinas autopoiéticas, Humberto Maturana e Francisco Varela reiteradamente tecem críticas à aplicação das noções de função e aptidão (fitness) então estabelecidas em teorias científicas. Tais críticas apresentam-se em duas frentes principais: por um lado, os autores afirmam que atribuições funcionais são causalmente inertes, o que as reduz a meros artifícios explicativos não operacionalizáveis; por outro, defendem que todo organismo, enquanto não for destruído em suas interações com o meio, conserva sua aptidão, sendo esta constitutiva dos seres vivos e, portanto, invariável. Contudo, como defende Gustavo Caponi, podemos compreender que atribuir funções significa nada mais do que destacar papeis causais desempenhados em determinados processos de referência, de modo que a comparação entre estruturas que desempenhem a mesma função possibilita a medição dos diferentes graus de eficiência em sua realização. No âmbito da biologia, esta estrutura conceitual traduz-se nas funções biológicas, operadas por diferentes subsistemas dos organismos e referentes à manutenção do ciclo vital, assim como na aptidão biológica, tomada como a eficiência na operação destas funções e determinante no processo evolutivo. Defendemos que a proposta de Caponi é imune a ambos os ataques dos autores chilenos, ao incorporar um conteúdo operacional e contextual para as atribuições funcionais e ao possibilitar a referência a aptidão biológica, cuja importância evolutiva pode ser aferida momento a momento. Tal abordagem mostra-se, ademais, como uma adição muito oportuna à chamada teoria da autopoiese, aparelhando-a com uma concepção bastante pertinente de atribuições funcionais.
