Discriminação no discurso: análise da representação de refugiados em Público através da gramática visual de Kress e Van Leeuwen
Authors: Empinotti Marina Lisboa
Published: November 2017

Segundo o Alto Comissariado das Nações Unidas para os Refugiados, em 2015, 955.281 mil pessoas, vindas de países como Líbia, Síria, Iraque, e nações africanas politicamente instáveis, arriscaram-se na travessia do mar Mediterrâneo para tentar uma vida melhor como refugiadas na Europa. Este fluxo populacional foi um dos assuntos mais presentes nos media europeus durante o ano. Este trabalho recorre às categorias da gramática visual de Kress & van Leeuwen (1996; 2006) para analisar a representação dos refugiados nas fotografias que acompanham matérias online no Público durante a primeira metade de outubro de 2015. O estudo de 13 imagens mostra que há uma recorrente representação dos refugiados como grupos, e não indivíduos, nômades, em situação de risco e subordinação.
En enhanced matrix-free method via double step length approach for solving systems of nonlinear equations
Authors: Sani Halilu Abubakar , Abdullahi H. , Yusuf Waziri Mohammed
Published: November 2017

A variant method for solving system of nonlinear equations is presented. This method use the special form of iteration with two step length parameters, we suggest a derivative-free method without computing the Jacobian via acceleration parameter as well as inexact line search procedure. The proposed method is proven to be globally convergent under mild condition. The preliminary numerical comparison reported in this paper using a large scale benchmark test problems show that the proposed method is practically quite effective.
Toward a Fugitive Anthropology: Gender, Race, and Violence in the Field
Authors: Berry Maya J. , Chávez Argüelles Claudia , Cordis Shanya , Ihmoud Sarah , Velásquez Estrada Elizabeth
Published: November 2017

In this essay, we point to the ways in which activist research methodologies have been complicit with the dominant logics of traditional research methods, including notions of fieldwork as a masculinist rite of passage. Paradoxically, while activist research narrates the experiences of violence enacted on racialized, gendered (queer and gender-nonconforming) bodies, the complexities of doing anthropology with those same bodies have tended to be erased in the politics of the research. Thus, our analysis is twofold: we reaffirm activist anthropology’s critiques against the putatively objective character of the discipline, which effaces questions of race, gender, and class in the research process and asserts a neutral stance that replicates colonial and extractivist forms of knowledge production. At the same time, we critically examine how activist research replicates that which it critiques by not addressing the racialized, gendered researcher’s embodied experience and by presuming that rapport or intimacy with those with whom we are aligned necessarily results in more horizontal power relations. Drawing on fieldwork in El Salvador, Cuba, Palestine, Mexico, and Guyana, we examine how our gendered racial positionalities inflect the research process and consider how we can push activist methods to be accountable to the embodied aspects of conducting research in conflict zones, colonial contexts, and/or conditions of gendered and racialized terror. Ultimately, we call for a fugitive anthropology, a methodological praxis that centers an embodied feminist ethos, advancing the path toward decolonizing anthropology.

Published: November 2017

Fetal/perinatal hypoxia is one of the most common causes of perinatal morbidity and mortality and is frequently accompannied by vascular dysfunction. However, the mechanisms involved have not been fully delineated. We hypothesized that exposure to acute hypoxia‐reoxygenation induces alterations in vascular O2 sensing/signaling as well as in endothelial function in the chicken embryo pulmonary artery (PA), mesenteric artery (MA), femoral artery (FA), and ductus arteriosus (DA). Noninternally pipped 19‐day embryos were exposed to 10% O2 for 30 min followed by reoxygenation with 21% O2 or 80% O2. Another group was constantly maintained at 21% O2 or at 21% O2 for 30 min and then exposed to 80% O2. Following treatment, responses of isolated blood vessels to hypoxia as well as endothelium‐dependent (acetylcholine) and ‐independent (sodium nitroprusside and forskolin) relaxation were investigated in a wire myograph. Hypoxia increased venous blood lactate from 2.03 ± 0.18 to 15.98 ± 0.73 mmol/L (P < 0.001) and reduced hatchability to 0%. However, ex vivo hypoxic contraction of PA and MA, hypoxic relaxation of FA, and normoxic contraction of DA were not significantly different in any of the experimental groups. Relaxations induced by acetylcholine, sodium nitroprusside, and forskolin in PA, MA, FA, and DA rings were also similar in the four groups. In conclusion, exposure to acute hypoxia‐reoxygenation did not affect vascular oxygen sensing or reactivity in the chicken embryo. This suggests that direct effects of acute hypoxia‐reoxygenation on vascular function does not play a role in the pathophysiology of hypoxic cardiovascular injury in the perinatal period.

Ben’s body reads the Guardian
Authors: Olson Eric T.
Published: November 2017

We can sayBen is reading, but notBen’s body is reading. The relational account says that this is because our bodies are objects that do not read. On the false-implication account, by contrast, to sayBen’s body is readingis to say that Ben is reading, while implying, falsely, that reading is some sort of brute-physical property. Besides being metaphysically neutral, this sort of view explains far better why we cannot say such things asBen’s mind is six feet tall. But neither account explains why we cannot sayBen’s body is six feet tall. The article argues that a variant of the false-implication account can solve this puzzle.
Sources of theNotabilia(1427), a medieval handwritten grammatical treatise from the Portuguese monastery of Alcobaça
Authors: Fernandes Gonçalo
Published: November 2017

The most significant Latin-Portuguese medieval grammatical treatise, due mainly to its complexity and the great number of folios, remains unpublished. It originates from the Cistercian Monastery of Alcobaça and belongs to the Portuguese National Library, codex Alc. 79. The manuscript presents the (unfinished) incipitHic incipiunt notabilia que fecit cunctisand is commonly known by the Latin nounNotabilia[noteworthy things]. The Alcobacensis manuscript is a quite elaborate volume, copied perhaps by two hands and it is divided into 31 chapters. The text identifies several main sources, such as Donatus (mid-4th century), Priscian (late 5th to early 6th century), Alexander of Villa Dei (c.1170–c.1250), Giovanni Balbi de Genova (fl.1286–1298), and two pre-modist or speculative grammarians, Petrus Helias (c.1100–post-1166) and Robert Kilwardby (c.1215–1279), but it might have other unnamed references, such as, hypothetically, the Catalan-Aragonesegrammaticae proverbiandi(fifteenth century) and the ItalianNotabiliaby Giovanni da Soncino (? –c.1363).
Passives and Constructions that resemble passives
Authors: Giacalone Ramat Anna
Published: November 2017

This paper has two goals: First it offers some theoretical reflections on the relations between grammaticalization and constructionalization. Secondly, the paper discusses a case study as an instance of constructionalization, arguing in favor of the passive interpretation of the Italian construction formed by the verbvedersi‘to see oneself’ followed by the past participle. The synchronic description of the syntactic, semantic and pragmatic features of this construction in Modern Italian is accompanied by a diachronic investigation based on a corpus of texts from the thirteenth century on. Results show the gradual emergence of the passive interpretation through reanalysis of a reflexive construction and the development of idiosyncratic semantic and pragmatic features distinguishing thevedersi-construction from the standardessere‘be’-passive.
Two-fluid Modeling of Geldart A Particles in Gas-solid Bubbling Fluidized Bed: Assessment of Drag Models and Solid Viscosity Correlations
Authors: Tian Tian , Jia Zhengrui , Geng Shujun , Liu Xiaoxing
Published: November 2017

In this work the influences of solid viscosity and the way to scale-down traditional drag models on the predicted hydrodynamics of Geldart A particles in a lab-scale gas-solid bubbling fluidized bed are investigated. To evaluate the effects of drag models, the modified Gibilaro et al. drag model (constant correction factor) and the EMMS drag model (non-constant correction factor) are tested. And the influences of solid viscosity are assessed by considering the empirical model proposed by Gidaspow et al. (1997, Turbulence, Viscosity and Numerical Simulation of FCC Particles in CFB. Fluidization and Fluid-particle Systems, AIChE Annual Meeting, Los Angeles, 58–62) and the models based on kinetic theory of granular flow (KTGF) with or without frictional stress. The resulting hydrodynamics by incorporating the different combinations of the drag model and solid viscosity model into two-fluid model (TFM) simulations are compared with the experimental data of Zhu et al. (2008, Detailed Measurements of Flow Structure inside a Dense Gas-Solids Fluidized Bed.” Powder Technological 180:339–349). The simulation results show that the predicted hydrodynamics closely depends on the setting of solid viscosity. When solid viscosity is calculated from the empirical model of Gidaspow et al., both drag models can reasonably predict the radial solid concentration profiles and particle velocity profiles. When the KTGF viscosity model without frictional stress is adopted, the EMMS drag model significantly over-estimates the bed expansion, whereas the modified Gibilaro et al. drag model can still give acceptable radial solid concentration profiles but over-estimate particle upwards and downwards velocity. When KTGF viscosity model with frictional stress is chosen, both drag models predict the occurrence of slugging. At this time, the particle velocity profiles predicted by EMMS drag model are still in well agreement with the experimental data, but the bed expansion is under-estimated.

Liposomes are known as convenient carriers for a broad range of actives. The release rate of actives can be adjusted/controlled by the addition of different surfactants. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of two surfactants, Span 20 and Span 40, on liposomes release properties. In particular, the study shows how the membrane modification affects the mass transfer resistances and liposome size compared with the common liposomes. The aqueous extract of thyme was used as a model substance. It is a valuable source of natural antioxidants – polyphenols. The diffusion of polyphenols from native thyme extract (un-encapsulated) and from different types of liposomes was conducted using Franz diffusion cell. The results were approximated with Fick’s second law and they implied that liposomes modified with Span 20 provided the slowest release of polyphenolic compounds due to the highest value of mass transfer resistance (2.523 × 106 s/m).

Swearingen, JT, Weiss, LW, Smith, WA, Stephenson, MD, and Schilling, BK. Potential utility of a loaded treadmill protocol for tactical athletes. J Strength Cond Res 32(3): 610–616, 2018—Aerobic capacity is an important variable for tactical athletes, with V̇o
2max being the most direct way of estimating it in a laboratory setting. A mode-specific protocol involving fixed-weight, torso-borne loads was assessed in the current study. On 4 separate days, 15 men (age 22.1 ± 2.7 years, mass 85.1 ± 10.6 kg, height 179.0 ± 7.7 cm) performed a weighted treadmill walking protocol (2 trials) and a nonweighted treadmill running protocol (2 trials). Both the weighted and nonweighted protocols were reliable, with intraclass correlation coefficient values of 0.79 and 0.87, respectively. V̇o
2peak values from both protocols were highly correlated (r = 0.90, p < 0.01). However, V̇o
2peak was higher during the nonweighted protocol (t = 7.547, d = 2.47, p < 0.01). Work rate was calculated for both the last completed stage and stage during which participants reached fatigue. Work rates for both protocols on the last completed stage were similar (t = 1.44, d = 0.83, p = 0.17), although the work rate for the final attempted stage was greater for the weighted-walking protocol (t = 5.85, d = 3.60, p < 0.01). These data suggest a weighted-walking V̇o
2peak that is highly associated with a running V̇o
2peak. This test may be applied to those who routinely perform torso-borne load carriage, such as tactical athletes. Future weighted-walking protocols should seek achieve higher resolution, especially near the end stage of the test where subjects reach volitional fatigue. Large increases in work rate may not be feasible at the end stages of the test.

Till, K, Morris, R, Stokes, K, Trewartha, G, Twist, C, Dobbin, N, Hunwicks, R, and Jones, B. Validity of an isometric midthigh pull dynamometer in male youth athletes. J Strength Cond Res 32(2): 490–493, 2018—The purpose of this study was to investigate the validity of an isometric midthigh pull dynamometer against a criterion measure (i.e., 1,000-Hz force platform) for assessing muscle strength in male youth athletes. Twenty-two male adolescent (age 15.3 ± 0.5 years) rugby league players performed 4 isometric midthigh pull efforts (i.e., 2 on the dynamometer and 2 on the force platform) separated by 5-minute rest in a randomized and counterbalanced order. Mean bias, typical error of estimate (TEE), and Pearson correlation coefficient for peak force (PF) and peak force minus body weight (PFBW) from the force platform were validated against peak force from the dynamometer (DynoPF). When compared with PF and PFBW, mean bias (with 90% confidence limits) for DynoPF was very large (−32.4 [−34.2 to −30.6] %) and moderate (−10.0 [−12.8 to −7.2] %), respectively. The TEE was moderate for both PF (8.1 [6.3–11.2] %) and PFBW (8.9 [7.0–12.4]). Correlations between DynoPF and PF (r 0.90 [0.79–0.95]) and PFBW (r 0.90 [0.80–0.95]) were nearly perfect. The isometric midthigh pull assessed using a dynamometer underestimated PF and PFBW obtained using a criterion force platform. However, strong correlations between the dynamometer and force platform suggest that a dynamometer provides an appropriate alternative to assess isometric midthigh pull strength when a force platform is not available. Therefore, practitioners can use an isometric midthigh pull dynamometer to assess strength in the field with youth athletes but should be aware that it underestimates peak force.

Stigma Experienced by Children and Adolescents With Obesity
Authors: Pont Stephen J. , Puhl Rebecca , Cook Stephen R. , Slusser Wendelin ,   SECTION ON OBESITY,   THE OBESITY SOCIETY
Published: November 2017

The stigmatization of people with obesity is widespread and causes harm. Weight stigma is often propagated and tolerated in society because of beliefs that stigma and shame will motivate people to lose weight. However, rather than motivating positive change, this stigma contributes to behaviors such as binge eating, social isolation, avoidance of health care services, decreased physical activity, and increased weight gain, which worsen obesity and create additional barriers to healthy behavior change. Furthermore, experiences of weight stigma also dramatically impair quality of life, especially for youth. Health care professionals continue to seek effective strategies and resources to address the obesity epidemic; however, they also frequently exhibit weight bias and stigmatizing behaviors. This policy statement seeks to raise awareness regarding the prevalence and negative effects of weight stigma on pediatric patients and their families and provides 6 clinical practice and 4 advocacy recommendations regarding the role of pediatricians in addressing weight stigma. In summary, these recommendations include improving the clinical setting by modeling best practices for nonbiased behaviors and language; using empathetic and empowering counseling techniques, such as motivational interviewing, and addressing weight stigma and bullying in the clinic visit; advocating for inclusion of training and education about weight stigma in medical schools, residency programs, and continuing medical education programs; and empowering families to be advocates to address weight stigma in the home environment and school setting.

Published: November 2017

The effect of sunflower seed flour supplementation on the quality characteristics of wheat flour cracker biscuits was studied. For this purpose, four experimental variants obtained by substituting wheat flour with different proportions (0%, 15%, 25%, and 35%) of sunflower seed flour, were used. The cracker biscuits with sunflower seed flour and the control samples were subjected to physico-chemical and organoleptic analyses. The cracker biscuits, prepared with sunflower seed flour up to a 35% level of supplementation in wheat flour, were found to be acceptable with respect to all sensory attributes. In the present study, significant improvement in the chemical composition (ash, fat, and crude protein) of wheat-flour cracker biscuits supplemented with sunflower seed flour was observed. This reflects the potential for use of sunflower seed flour, as a partial replacement for wheat flour, for enhancement of these nutrients/chemical constituents

Fruit and vegetable by-products are in general thrown away and can cause environmental problems, even though they are a valuable source of bioactive compounds, which may be used for innovative food production.The present work focused on achieving a new type of dessert, a “Sweetburger”, by restructuring its molecular components with the aid of molecular gastronomy techniques and using agro-industrial wastes (beetroot and sour cherry pulp and peels, melon pomace). The innovative dessert has been obtained and the bioactive compounds contained in the agro-industrial wastes have been characterized using the HPLC method, Folin-Ciocalteu and spectrophotometry. The total polyphenol content from sour cherries waste was significant, 508,9 mg gallic acid/100 g. The total anthocyanin content from beetroot pulp was 0,117 mg/ 100 g.

Published: November 2017

Photoacid generators (PAGs) with environmentally friendly cores and partially fluorinated sulfonate salts have been synthesized and studied. The cores were based on naturally occurring compounds such as cholesterol and glucose and were functionalized with a biodegradable octafluoro-3-oxapentanesulfonate. These PAGs were soluble in common spinning solvents and lithographically characterized with poly(styrene-co-4-hydroxy-styrene-co-tert-butylacetate) photoresist, and they showed higher resolution for photoresist applications than a perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS)-based triphenylsulfonium salt PAG, capable of patterning 50 nm dense lines. In addition, microbial bioassays confirmed that the newly developed PAG compounds can be broken down by microorganisms commonly found in conventional wastewater treatment systems. The biodegradation potential of the new PAGs presents a distinct advantage compared to that of PAG perfluorinated structures such as PFOS and perfluorobutane sulfonate, which are highly resistant to biodegradation and difficult to treat by conventional processes. The excellent performance and environmental compatibility of these PAGs make them promising candidates for use in high-resolution lithography systems.

Published: November 2017

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of China risk on subsequent tourism demand and hospitality industry performance in Korea. A VARX model, an impulse response analysis and a conditional forecasting analysis were used on monthly time series data from January 2000 to December 2016, to realize the study objectives. Results of the analysis reveal that all three macro economic variables relating to China have no influence on Chinese tourism demand in Korea. However, the total number of Chinese tourist arrivals affects the performance of three major hospitality industries in Korea: airlines, lodging, and travel agencies. The outcome of conditional forecasting shows that the impact of China risk on Korean hospitality industries is greater than expected.
An Analysis of Dining Space on the Japanese Colonial Period TV Drama ‘Gyeongseong Scandal’
Authors:   The Tourism Sciences Society Of Korea, Lee Hyo-Jeong , Han Kyung-Soo
Published: November 2017

This study Analyzed dining space used in a Japanese colonial period TV drama. By watching internet-channel services with replay capability, dining space scenes were collected and analyzed using scene captions. The relative importance of each scene was determined according to the exposure time per episode. By analyzing individual images in detail, the relative importance of dining space in a Japanese Colonial period drama was determined. In addition, the direction of dining space utilized in a Japanese colonial period drama will be presented according to deduced results in the conclusion. The quantitative results of this analysis were as follows: 1) The ratios of dining space exposure were 19% for ‘Capital Scandal’. Even though dining space exposure in the drama was 19%, time and costs were limited, so it follows that there were limits to the drama production aspects. 2) Drama production puts more emphasis on images, so there were few examples of exaggerated settings used for dining space scenes. 3) Though there were limited situations, these were enough for the public to identify the effort to produce a dining space. These results suggest that even when only producing a dining space, there is now an opportunity to consider more if the periodical aspects of the drama are examined.

Published: November 2017

A number of Small Modular Reactor designs have been developed by several countries and mostly each comes with specific innovative improvements. One of them is NuScale reactor which implements a steel, small size immersed-in-pool containment system. This new approach derives new challenges as the control for temperature and pressure inside the containment is conducted without any active system. Passive heat transfer and condensation is important parameter that needs to be investigated for this kind of containment design. Hence, this work examines the condensation, pressure and the effect of pool temperature on the capability of the containment to remove heat and maintain integrity passively. The work is performed using numerical simulation by modeling the reactor into RELAP5 code. The calculation result shows that during depressurization, the maximum pressure limit of 5.5 MPa is not exceeded. Besides, the containment design provides enough capability to transfer heat from the containment to the water pool passively. This work also investigates sensitivity analysis of pool temperature which shows that for the increase of about 17 oC, the heat removal from the containment to water pool is only slightly affected with value less than 3 percent.Keywords: Containment, Condensation, RELAP5, NuScale,  Depresurization STUDI NUMERIK PROSES KONDENSASI PADA SISTEM PENGUNGKUNG TERENDAM UNTUK SMR SAAT DEPRESURISASI TAK TERKENDALI.

Sehingga perpindahan panas dan kondensasi secara pasif merupakan parameter penting yang perlu diinvestigasi untuk disain pengungkung seperti ini.  Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini akan memeriksa kondensasi, tekanan dan pengaruh temperatur kolam terhadap kemampuan pengungkung memindahkan panas dan menjaga integritasnya. Investigasi dilakukan menggunakan simulasi numerik dengan memodelkan reaktor ke dalam program RELAP5. Hasil perhitungan menunjukkan bahwa selama depresurisasi, batas maksimum tekanan sebesar 5,5 MPa tidak terlampaui. Selain itu, disain pengungkung mampu memindahkan panas ke kolam reaktor secara pasif. Penelitian ini juga melakukan  analisis sensitivitas temperatur kolam reaktor dan hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa untuk kenaikan temperatur kolam sebesar 17 oC, pemindahan panas dari  pengungkung ke kolam hanya sedikit terpengaruh, yakni kurang dari 3 persen.Kata kunci : Pengungkung, Kondensasi, RELAP5, NuScale, Depresurisasi

Parasite Assemblages Infecting Native Versus An Introduced Population of Yellow Bass
Authors: Klann Rick
Published: November 2017

The parasite assemblage infecting yellow bass (Morone mississippiensis) inhabiting their native range was compared to the assemblage infecting an introduced population. The gills and alimentary canal of 47 yellow bass collected from the Mississippi River (native) and 41 yellow bass collected from Otter Creek Lake in Tama County, Iowa, (introduced) were examined for metazoan parasites. Species richness was higher in the sample from the native population compared to the introduced sample (8 versus 3, respectively). Yellow bass from the introduced sample hosted species that were generalist fish parasites, and these infections were at low intensities. On the other hand, yellow bass from the native sample were infected with high numbers of Allacanthochasmus varius and Neochasmus umbellus, which have been reported from a smaller number of fish hosts, and in the case of A. varius, primarily in genus Morone.
Modeling a high numerical aperture micrometalens with a varying number of sectors
Authors:   Image Processing Systems Institute оf RAS – Branch of the FSRC “Crystallography and Photonics” RAS, Nalimov A. ,   Samara National Research University
Published: November 2017

Using the numerical solution of differential Maxwell’s equations, we show that a binary microlens with unit numerical aperture (NA = 1) manufactured in a thin-film amorphous silicon focuses the laser light into a near-surface subwavelength optical focal spot. The microlens contains sectored subwavelength diffraction gratings operating as half-wave plates. The incident light is a linearly polarized plane wave. The micrometalens is numerically shown to operate with near-same efficiency with the number of sectored grating varying from 3 to 16. It is shown that a 16-sector micrometalens generates a focal spot of size at the full-width at half-maximum intensity of FWHMx = 0.435λ and FWHMy = 0.457λ along the Cartesian axes, where λ is the incident wavelength. A 4-sector microlens is numerically shown to focus light into a focal spot of size FWHMx = 0.428λ and FWHMy = 0.46λ.

Além disso, não foi encontrada na literatura pesquisas sobre a utilização do gerador de relutância axial com núcleo do tipo C em operação auto excitada. Logo, o artigo possui também um caráter tutorial e aborda esse tema pouco difundido no âmbito científico nacional e internacional, auxiliando no desenvolvimento de novas pesquisas. É realizada uma análise estática do gerador, bem como estudos do comportamento dinâmico do sistema de acionamento por meio de simulações. A análise estática do gerador foi realizada com o auxílio do método dos elementos finitos em três dimensões. Já o estudo dinâmico do sistema, foi realizado no Matlab/Simulink, utilizando um modelo do gerador desenvolvido a partir das curvas de magnetização. Com base na análise das respostas dinâmicas, os resultados das simulações indicam que a metodologia utilizada foi adequada para a determinação das dimensões finais do núcleo dos geradores de relutância axial com núcleo do tipo C.

Neste artigo é proposto um algoritmo de controle direto de potência, operando a velocidade variável e robusto às variações nos parâmetros de um gerador de indução duplamente alimentado, cuja aplicação é realizada em sistemas eólicos em condições normais de operação. O controlador possui duas malhas de controle: uma para o desacoplamento do fluxo do estator e outra malha de controle Deadbeat. O controlador calcula o vetor de tensão fornecido ao rotor a fim de garantir que a potência ativa e reativa atinjam seus valores de referência desejados. A dependência do algoritmo às variações dos parâmetros foi investigada, assim como a influência dos erros na estimativa desses parâmetros. Simulações em Matlab/Simulink e testes com uma bancada experimental foram feitos para analisar a eficácia do algoritmo proposto.

This is the first study to investigate the psychosocial impact of demonetization of 2016 in India in two opposing strata of women in the context of their social backgrounds. It provides valuable insights into the social behavior of women before, during, and after demonetization. It attempts to analyze the reasons behind the observed social behavior as well. This study demonstrates that irrespective of the social strata, difficulties encountered by women in the aftermath of demonetization were similar in the community surveyed but responses appeared to be dictated by social background and awareness. In addition, this study underscores a need for greater awareness creation with respect to various social schemes launched by the government among the women, particularly those working in unorganized sector for their greater financial inclusion.
Os brasileiros na França
Authors: Almeida Gisele Maria Ribeiro de
Published: November 2017

“Estamos fugindo da década perdida pelos portões de embarque dos aeroportos internacionais”. Foi dessa forma que Teresa Sales, em meados da década de 1990, representou o então recente movimento de emigração de brasileiros. Se a chamada década perdida acabou, o mesmo não se pode dizer do fluxo de brasileiros que se aventuram a “tentar a vida e a sorte” em outros países, notadamente EUA, Japão e alguns países europeus. Segundo o Ministério das Relações Exteriores (MRE) do Brasil, a presença de brasileiros no exterior tem crescido de forma constante nas últimas duas décadas. E isso tem ocorrido, cabe frisar, a despeito do melhor desempenho da economia nacional.

Parece consenso para a população brasileira que o setor canavieiro atravessa, nos últimos anos, uma nova fase de expansão, se apresentando, inclusive, como emblema do progresso e do que há de mais moderno, em termos produtivos, no país.
Apontamentos críticos às teorias dos novos movimentos sociais a partir de uma perspectiva de classe: vidas secas e os muitos “fabianos”
Authors: Hirata Francini , Cícero Pedro Henrique de Moraes
Published: November 2017

Partindo da problematização das Teorias dos Novos Movimentos Sociais agregada às contribuições de Vidas Secas, romance clássico da literatura brasileira publicado por Graciliano Ramos em 1938, este artigo pretende resgatar a importância do marxismo para a análise dos movimentos sociais. Diferentemente do apregoado por essa teoria, a idéia é demonstrar que há barreiras materiais para a construção e dispersão dos valores culturais, uma vez que a classe social limita e determina o potencial cultural para a mobilização baseada na linguagem, no discurso e nas identidades.
O impacto do Plano Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos na Gestão Municipal
Authors: Costa Valeriano Mendes Ferreira , Mario Camila Gonçalves de , Vitagliano Luis Fernando Vitagliano
Published: November 2017

Este artigo trata da gestão do lixo no âmbito municipal – especificamente do problema do lixo na Região Metropolitana de Campinas (RMC). Vamos explorar as exigências que o novo Plano Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos (PNRS) impõe ao tratamento dos resíduos e o que muda a partir da gestão dos municípios, usando como caso elucidativo a RMC. A Lei 12.305/2010, aprovada no final do governo Lula e tida como uma vitória, depois de 20 anos de morosidade, é o objeto inicial da nossa análise: o que a Lei propõe? Que mudanças esta Lei indica? E principalmente qual o impacto do PNRS na gestão dos RSU? Vamos usar para isso a realidade das soluções presentes na macrorregião de Campinas e no movimento dos municípios em função (ou não) da solução que o poder público propõe para a gestão dos resíduos urbanos, problema que cada vez mais toma a agenda pública. Finalmente vamos concluir apontando perspectivas e soluções para o problema, principalmente no que tange a gestão de resíduos sólidos e ao PNRS apontado no nível federal.
A política externa do governo Lula: Aspirações e dificuldades
Authors: Miyamoto Shiguenoli
Published: November 2017

Dos oito anos do governo de Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (1º 01.2003 a 1º 01.2011), e de suas políticas públicas, pode-se dizer tudo, menos que foram monótonos. Uma delas, a política externa, segundo os críticos e a oposição ao governo, nada mais foi do que controversa e ruidosa.1 Na perspectiva de outros, como o ex-chanceler Celso Amorim (1º 01.2011) e os demais co-responsáveis pela condução da mesma, a política externa foi ativa e altiva.
Regimes regulatórios e política internacional: A Questão do Controle Petrolífero
Authors: Hage José Alexandre Altahyde
Published: November 2017

O importante analista das questões petrolíferas, Daniel Yergin, diz que os assuntos do petróleo são 90% de política e apenas 10% de economia (Yergin, 1994). Não é à toa que esse pesquisador escreve isso. A razão disso é que o petróleo vem sendo problematizado nas relações internacionais desde sua “invenção” na segunda parte do século XIX, entre os Estados Unidos (Pensilvânia) e Império russo (Baku), quando o bem passou a ser industrializado.

Caminhos da sustentabilidade urbana: o desafio da construção da gestão dos riscos socioambientais urbanos
Authors: Ribeiro Corina Alessandra Bezerra Carril , Fortunato Rafaela Antunes , Machado Claudia Cristina Lopes
Published: November 2017

Com a emergência dos debates ambientais, no século XX, pelo surgimento de inúmeros problemas socioambientais urbanos e rurais, nos âmbitos local, regional e global, a temática da sustentabilidade urbana tem ocupado o palco de constantes debates e estudos científicos, e estado presente mais fortemente enquanto elemento discursivo e ideológico do que em programas e ações praticadas na gestão urbana. O presente artigo visa apresentar a visão de diversos autores sobre o tema, em seguida discute a relação entre globalização e riscos, apontando a governança como elemento essencial para a gestão dos riscos socioambientais urbanos.
Mary Midgley e Richard Dawkins: semelhanças e dessemelhanças
Authors: Barreto André Assi
Published: November 2017

A aspiração deste artigo é estabelecer uma comparação entre o pensamentode Mary Midgley (1919- ) e de Richard Dawkins (1941-), introduzir brevemente as ideias dos dois e mostrar o porquê das diferenças entre eles, mesmo sabendo que ambos partem de uma ideia comum: a teoria sintética da evolução. A teoria da evolução darwiniana por seleção natural é uma excelente maneira para responder às perguntas nucleares da existência humana (Midgley, 1983), mas Dawkins e Midgley traçam trilhas diferentes em suas respostas. Aqui os comparamos quanto a dois pontos em especial: a interpretação teleológica da evolução e o problema do gene egoísta.

CREATING TOURIST SPACE ON THE BASIS OF NATURAL ENVIRONMENT AS AN ELEMENT OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT, CASE OF THE STEPNICA COMMUNE
Authors: Meyer Beata
Published: November 2017

Purpose – the aim of the paper is to point out the possibilities for creating space that is attractive for tourists using environmental resources, while respecting the rules of sustainable development. Design – the research example is the commune of Stepnica, situated by the Szczecin Lagoon (Poland). It has been indicated how useful is the natural environment in creating tourist space, and how it can be used to build tourist products Methodology – The "desk research" method was used to an analysis of the current level of tourism development. On the grounds of the PAPI method were presented the activities in the interest of developing sustainable forms of tourism in the commune of Stepnica. Information were collected by using available secondary data, and through a questionnaire addressed to commune's government, a local tourist organization and the residents. Approach – Achieving balance between the environment, tourists, the local community and service providers is only possible when the active subjects of this arrangement (meaning all except the environment) are willing to agree to impose restrictions on themselves, without which reaching a compromise is impossible. It is one of the main challenges for sustainable tourism, since it takes a high level of ecological knowledge and the awareness of long-term consequences of one's actions to agree to such restrictions. Findings – The conducted research prove that existing natural resources can be used to create an attractive, and sometimes unique, tourist space. Using natural elements to develop varied forms of niche tourism can be a basis for sustainable tourism development and supplement (or balance out) mass tourism. Originality of the research – Findings should be useful for local authorities to indicate opportunities for using the knowledge, awareness and involvement of the local community to overcome the obstacles in the way of sustainable tourism development
THE AVAILABILITY OF INNOVATTIVE OFFER FOR DISABLED SKIERS IN SKI RESORTS IN THE REGION OF BIELSKO BIAŁA
Authors: Szewczyk Irena
Published: November 2017

Purpose – The purpose of the paper is the assessment of the availability of innovative offers for disabled ski resort customers. Methodology – Empiric data was collected via a diagnostic survey (questionnaires and interviews). The basic research was carried among the employees of ski centres using questionnaires and it was supplemented with questionnaires and surveys with disabled persons. Findings – Obstacles in Alpine skiing met by disabled persons are financial factors but also the absence of the innovative solutions, special infrastructure, equipment, qualified trainers facilitating winter sports for disabled skiers. The information in ski resorts is insufficient. The key problem is the mentality - few resorts are supportive for disabled skiers. Originality of the research – Currently, most of the research focused on the behaviour of professional disabled Alpine skiers. The paper investigates innovations and offers in ski resorts for disabled recreational skiers. Based on the example of Bielsko Biała poviat, suggestions are created of country-wide innovations for Polish ski resorts to adjust them to the needs of disabled persons currently excluded from recreational skiing due to lack of the appropriate infrastructure. Thanks to such innovations, the Bielsko-Biała poviat could become a leader in this market niche in Poland and in the transborder region.
