Spanish? What Spanish? The Search for a "Caribbean Standard"
Authors: Hollingsworth Charles
Published: February 2021

In the West Indies today, under the aegis of the Caribbean Examination Council and the various National Curriculum Development Committees, teachers are working to draw up curricula, syllabuses and examinations for several subjects, among them Spanish. Assuming that these syllabuses and examinations must be tailored to accommodate the teaching of Spanish in the various countries of the region, the question arises: what kind of Spanish should we teach? Up to the present no concerted policy has emerged. Many traditional teachers still use a "Castilian" pronunciation and vocabulary; others vary considerably in their practice.
Socialismo y Renta Básica: Razones republicanas de la propuesta
Authors: Casassas Marqués David , Martínez-Cava Aguilar Julio , Raventós Pañella Daniel
Published: February 2021

En este artículo se ofrece una reconstrucción de los principios normativos de filiación republicana y socialista que se han utilizado a lo largo de los últimos siglos para justificar la defensa de la renta básica. Se expone, en primer lugar, los precedentes históricos de esta defensa y la centralidad que ocupa la cuestión de los derechos de propiedad. En un segundo momento se dilucida cuál fue la aportación específica de la tradición socialista en estos debates. Finalmente, se valora la pertinencia de la propuesta de la renta básica para el mundo contemporáneo.
Del pecado original a la Renta Básica: superemos de una vez el castigo divino y garanticemos el derecho a vivir dignamente
Authors: García Pérez Carmen
Published: February 2021

este artículo pretende mostrar la Renta Básica como una inversión en lugar de un gasto. La Renta Básica es una herramienta de carácter preventivo cuya efectividad es incalculable porque evita incurrir en múltiples situaciones que abocan a las personas en incipiente estado de necesidad a otras cuyos efectos son frecuentemente irreversibles. Desde que Adán y Eva cometieron el pecado original nuestra sociedad está vertebrada por el trabajo, a pesar de que éste ya no es garantía de una vida digna. Afrontar la pobreza con la Renta Básica no sólo la erradicaría, sino que, de paso, serviría para distribuir la riqueza en un momento en que la desigualdad en su reparto se encuentra en máximos históricos. Otorgaría a las personas la libertad que las políticas sociales de los últimos cuarenta años no otorgan y haría posible garantizar el derecho a la vida digna.
La filosofía política ante la COVID-19
Authors: López Baroni Manuel Jesús
Published: February 2021

La emergencia de la COVID-19 ha cimbreado todo lo que creíamos firme y seguro, desde nuestros derechos y libertades hasta los recursos para enfrentarnos a calamidades naturales. La medicina, la economía, el derecho, la genética, etc., incluyen entre sus temáticas de estudio las causas, efectos o consecuencias de una situación como la que estamos viviendo. Sin embargo, resulta extraño que una pandemia afecte de lleno, como ha sido el caso, a las materias propias de la filosofía política.
El movimiento antivacunas: un aliado de la COVID-19
Authors: Consuegra-Fernández Marta
Published: February 2021

Todo apunta a que el éxito contra la pandemia actual pasa por el desarrollo de una vacuna eficaz que proteja a la población del nuevo coronavirus. Esta protección llegaría a ser global y efectiva si una mayoría de personas recibe la vacuna. No obstante, el creciente movimiento antivacunas podría obstaculizar este efecto rebaño y prolongar la subsistencia del virus entre la población. El presente artículo pretende dar argumentos para un debate nece- sario sobre el rechazo de la vacunación, ineludible en contexto de emergencia sanitaria por la pandemia originada por SARS-CoV-2.
¿Pandemia o pandemias?
Authors: Estévez Abad René Fernando
Published: February 2021

La Covid-19 ha causado un impacto global otrora impensado, alejado de las predicciones de la historia reciente de pandemias con menor agresividad. Los meses de emergencia sanitaria global se llenan de reflexiones desde la ética, la política, la sociología y sobre todo desde las tecnociencias. Visiones y prismas aportan con descripciones y posibles soluciones o por lo menos propuestas de acción. A pesar de los esfuerzos de organismos internacionales la discusión y dicotomía salud versus economía parece mantenerse en el discurso del poder político. La pandemia no es solamente causada por el virus SARS-Cov2 sino por los actos humanos irreflexivos, la afección a los seres humanos, con alcance global e indiscriminado, pero más severo con los más desposeídos. Otras pandemias ocultas surgen de la desigualdad y discriminación, del pobre acceso y de la limitación de derechos.
El sistema de fuentes del derecho de excepción durante la pandemia: una brecha de seguridad en el ordenamiento jurídico
Authors: López-Baroni Manuel-Jesús
Published: February 2021

Nunca en la historia de nuestra democracia habíamos asistido a una limitación y/o suspensión de derechos tan grave y duradera en el tiempo como la vivida durante la pandemia. Por ello, resulta necesario analizar el sistema de fuentes del derecho de excepción contrastando sus características con las del sistema de fuentes ordinario. Para cumplir este objetivo, tendremos que comparar a su vez las características del estado de alarma con el de excepción, y ambos, con las medidas extraordinarias que permite la legislación ordinria. Con este fin emplearemos siete criterios, lo que nos permitirá, además de clarificar ambos sistemas de fuentes, poner de manifiesto cómo el estado de alarma ha provocado una brecha en la seguridad de nuestro ordenamiento jurídico que debe ser resuelta cuanto antes.
La democracia cosmopolita de David Held: el legado prematuro de una obra madura
Authors: Lucena Cid Isabel Victoria
Published: February 2021

Este trabajo quiere ser un pequeño tributo a David Held tras su reciente fallecimiento. Pretendemos revisar su interesante aportación y sus estudios sobre la democracia y su propuesta de socialdemocracia cosmopolita. Para ello, revisitaremos su teoría democrática y haremos un breve repaso de los antecedentes éticos y teóricos de su proyecto para abordar, en segundo lugar, los principios y metaprincipios que sustentan su concepción cosmopolita. Finalmente, trataremos los aspectos más controvertidos de su teoría a través del debate que se ha suscitado en los últimos años en el ámbito de la filosofía política y otras disciplinas afines, para cuestionar si los postulados de Held satisfacen las demandas de un sistema global más justo.
A veinte años de la reforma constitucional de 2001 sobre derechos y cultura indígena en México: un análisis a la luz del convenio 169 de la OIT
Authors: Belmonte Lozano Juan Manuel
Published: February 2021

El presente trabajo revisa la reforma de 2001 sobre derechos y cultura indígena emprendida en México por el Gobierno de Vicente Fox Quesada. A tales efectos se utiliza el Convenio 169 de la OIT como punto de vista comparativo para analizar los avances y retrocesos que implicaron las modificaciones constitucionales realizadas, y se distribuye el análisis en los cuatro ejes de mayor relevancia: el carácter pluricultural de la nación mexicana, la configuración del régimen de propiedad sobre la tierra, el derecho a la libre determinación y el reconocimiento del derecho consuetudinario indígena. La reforma fue limitada y condicionada por las deficiencias estructurales que impiden la efectiva acogida de las garantías indígenas en el Estado mexicano
La crisis del agua en Oriente Medio y sus connotaciones hidropolíticas
Authors: El Khannoussi Jad
Published: February 2021

El agua apaga la sed, y también puede funcionar como chispa que prende el fuego. Los últimos estudios e investigaciones alertan sobre la escasez de este recurso vital, e incluso advierten que el concepto “Guerra por el agua” será uno de los que encuentren mayor resonancia mediática. El futuro se presenta repleto conflictos, a pesar de la existencia de leyes y regulaciones estatales, especialmente entre países con cuencas y desembocaduras fluviales. El mejor ejemplo lo hallamos en Oriente Medio, una de las regiones más proclives a ser escenario de conflictos bélicos, especialmente desde la aparición de Israel como gran protagonista. El presente artículo intenta aportar alguna solución a esta cuestión y analizar sus puntos de conflicto.
El papel de la ciencia jurídica en el liberalismo reformista español del siglo XIX
Authors: Seco Martínez José María
Published: February 2021

En el siglo XIX la sociedad española comenzaba a integrarse, muy rezagada y con sus particularidades socio-culturales, entre las sociedades de la modernidad occidental capitalista. Con sus diferencias y su “ser tradicional”, no podía permanecer ajena por más tiempo a un nuevo orden de configuración paradigmática de la realidad que, a su vez, per-formaba el orden de las cosas, los hechos y las categorías. De hecho, bien entrado el siglo XIX aún no se había embarcado con plenitud en los procesos de la modernidad occidental (secularización y democratización), porque tampoco podía asumir la ruptura con los valores culturales más enraizados, de sus costumbres y sus fueros medievales. El papel de la ciencia jurídica, especialmente a través de la escuela krausista, fue decisivo para el reformismo que la sociedad española necesitaba.

Developmental Considerations in University-School Collaborative Research
Authors: Carlozzi Barbara , Carlozzi Alfred , Harrist Steven
Published: February 2021

Some common complications that arise in collaborative research between school and university researchers, as well as some conditions for successful collaboration are described in this report. Difficulties possibly attributable to developmental levels of the researchers are discussed utilizing Kegans (1982) theory of constructive developmentalism. A collaborative, qualitative study of needs for independence and inclusion in two fifth grade classrooms is described to illustrate the importance of attending to issues of differing perspectives and experiences that may be related to development. The authors suggest that researchers carefully consider issues of role, status, and contextual differences, as well as the developmental maturity of those with whom they engage in collaborative research.
Vietnamese Women and Domestic Violence: A Qualitative Examination
Authors: Nguyen Tuyen
Published: February 2021

This grounded theory qualitative study investigated the major influencing factors in the United States that empowered six Vietnamese women who had been in abusive relationships to take actions, to make changes in their intimate relationships, unlike many of their abused counterparts in their homeland. Interviews of two focus group sessions, field-notes, and documentary evidence were used to obtain the results for this research study. Five major dominant influencing factors in the U.S. have helped these women to stand up to their abusers: 1) financial condition, 2) dominant U.S. cultures intolerance of domestic violence, 3) education, 4) support from other individuals, both genders, and 5) women role models in the community and from the media. These major determinant conditions of the theoretical model were identified and are illustrated by narrative data in this study.
Understanding the Role of Language/Culture in Group Work through Qualitative Interviewing
Authors: Melles Gavin
Published: February 2021

The second language student experience of group work at university is not often transparent in survey evaluations, although the multicultural nature of the student population in Australasia would suggest that culture and language should be on the research agenda. Culture and language, notwithstanding, is used in the higher education literature to position the Asian learner as different and problematic, although such cultural models and stereotypes have been the subject of some criticism in recent years. Through semi-structured qualitative interviewing in focus group interviews with nineteen South East Asian students, I explore the ways students account for their experiences of group work in their representation of teaching and learning reality through language and the discourses they take up. I find that student perceptions regarding the benefits and challenges of group work appear to be similar to their native speaking counterparts but that language/culture also appears to play a diverse and sometime unexpected role in their experience.
Qualitative Research on Mediated Dialogism among Educators and Pupils
Authors: Hansson Thomas
Published: February 2021

The relevance of qualitative research to virtual practices rests on subject knowledge and practical know-how on operations for exchange, growth, learning, and dialogue. Highlighting the discursive perspective, this paper covers theory on emerging didactics for online learning. In doing so, the contents show how computer-mediated learning incorporates a dialogical orientation. There is an empirical account of experiences of applying the theory in a comprehensive Nordic network with an aspect of computer-mediated theory focused on Ba, a construct illustrating how educators and pupils keep their higher mental operations creative in the process of critiquing and applying knowledge in English as a foreign language. The paper explores the social nature of learning, emphasizing the dialogical perspective, weaving methodological consistencies, and principles and theoretical positions with recent conceptual elaborations that focus on knowledge creation in emerging realities. Ideas about action learning provide an overview of issues particular to research on virtual discursive interaction.
An Interpretive Investigation into Motivations for Outgroup Activism
Authors: Borshuk Catherine
Published: February 2021

A qualitative study was conducted to explore the motivations of individuals, who advocate politically for members of social outgroups. Long interviews with social activists focused on self-ascribed motivations for activism, relationship with the outgroup, and the costs and benefits associated with being an outgroup activist. A thematic analysis revealed that feelings of social responsibility were shared by the activists, who were interviewed. Further, some activists attributed their behavior to their personal relationships, while others believed they had a psychological predisposition to engage in social justice. Experiences of personal marginality were also highlighted as a key contributor to social justice efforts. The respondents emphasized the importance of a fundamental, shared human connection between themselves and members of outgroups, suggesting that universalism may be importantly implicated in forging bonds across social identities. Finally, participants tendency to explicitly describe their social justice work according to cost-benefit analyses may signal a desire for recognition or reward for their efforts in light of perceived personal costs.

Authors:   Department of Pharmacology and Toxicolology, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Nasarawa State, Nigeria, Simeon Joseph Oyepata
Published: February 2021

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a contagious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus. The virus that causes COVID-19 spreads mainly when an infected person is in close contact with another person. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of COVID-19 on different countries, using USA as comparism factor. Ninety four countries were selected based on their continents, countries and cases of infection. Data from each country were obtained from United Nations Geoscheme and WHO and were analyzed and compared to that of the United State of America (USA). Data analyzed revealed that most countries in Africa appears to be least affected by the virus. Data also revealed that many countries have been able to understand and manage the spread and infectivity of the virus compared to the USA. Result from the study also showed that the many countries have been able to improve on managing the infection when compared to USA mortality. This may be due to among other factors a more robust immune response, herd immunity and united approach in the management of the disease. The result also helps to provide insight as to how significant developing and providing vaccine may be to this part of the world. Result from the study suggests that while Africa has a better immunity for the virus, there seems to be improvement the management of disease by other continent.
The Effect of Profitability and Asset Structure to Capital Structure on Non-Bank Financial Institutions Listed On Indonesian Stock Exchange
Authors:   Institute of Economics Science, Manado, Rawun Yuli
Published: February 2021

One of the key decisions faced by financial managers in relation to company operations is funding decisions. The funding decision is seen from the capital structure, good capital structure is the optimal capital structure. The optimal capital structure is a condition in which a firm can use a combination of debt and equity ideally and balancing the value of the firm and the cost of its capital structure. The cost of capital arose is a direct consequence of the decision taken when the manager uses the debt in which there will be the capital cost of interest expense required by creditor. However, if the manager decides to use internal funds, an opportunity cost of funds will be incurred. This research that was used is quantitative data with financial data from the site Indonesian Stock Exchange. The companies that was used is Non-Bank Financial Institutions which published financial statements of the period 2014 – 2016. This research aims to know the effect of profitability and asset structure to capital structure on Non-Bank Financial Institutions Listed on Indonesian Stock Exchange. Analysis method that was used in this thesis is panel data regression with statistical software Views 7 Version. The sample was 30 companies by purpose sampling technique. The independent variables that used are profitability and asset structure, and the variable dependent is capital structure. The results show that profitability partially has insignificant negative effect on capital structure with value of -0.469. Asset structure partially has insignificant positive effect on capital structure with value of 0.945. Profitability and asset structure during 2014 – 2016 simultaneously has significant effect on capital structure on Non-Bank Financial Institutions with value of 0.018. The companies are expected to pay attention to profitability, as it increases profitability equally by increasing internal funding. The used of long term debt align with their firm size because debt will also have its effect to all operational aspect so that asset structure will become optimal.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the burden of drug resistant tuberculosis in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.
Methods: A total of 8220 referred suspected TB patient samples were collected from 1st March 2016 to 28th February 2017 from TB laboratories across all districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province and processed for the detection of drug resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB). Drug Susceptibility testing (DST) on all Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) strains was performed at Provincial TB Reference Laboratory, Peshawar.
Results: Among the 8220 suspected TB samples, 1351 samples were declared positive on culture. The DST results showed that 525 samples were resistant to at least one of the first and second line anti-TB drugs. Importantly, among these 525 TB resistance cases, XDR-TB were 0.4% (n=5), MDR-TB were 4.6% (n=62), polyresistant were 18% (n=243), monoresistant was 16% (n=215) and 61% (n=826) were reported as pan-sensitive. Gender wise ratio are slightly increased in female (n= 4230; 51.5%) as compared to male (n=3990; 48.5%), while the age group 15-24 were the main target of TB disease (n=1978; 24%).
Conclusion: Our data suggests that DR-TB cases especially MDR-TB and XDR-TB in newly diagnosed TB patients are alarmingly increased in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region. Furthermore, the timely detection of drug resistance is important to optimize treatment and management of MDR-TB as well as XDR-TB.

GPT3: DALL-E VE JL2P EKSENİNDE VERİ GÖRSELLEŞTİRME VE HAREKETLENDİRME ÜZERİNE BİR İNCELEME
Authors: ŞEN Ezgi
Published: February 2021

Teknolojik evrimin güçlü sembollerinden biri olan yapay zekâ, derin öğrenme alanındaki güncel gelişmeler doğrultusunda hızla ilerleme kaydetmektedir. Bu ilerlemenin somut çıktılarından biri olan GPT3 sistemi (üretici ön-eğitimli dönüştürücü-generative pre-trained transformer3) derin öğrenme dil modeline bağlı olarak, veri görselleştirme alanında hızla gelişmektedir. OpenAI tarafından geliştirilen GPT3'ün bir ürünü olan Dall-e, doğal dilde ifade edilen metinleri görüntüye dönüştüren yapay bir sinir ağıdır. Dall'e 12 milyar civarında parametrenin anlamını tanıyarak kendisine verilen cümleleri daha önce hiç yapılmamış görsellere dönüştürebilmektedir. Dall-e sistemine benzer bir şekilde çalışan bir diğer sistem ise, JL2P (Joint Language to Pose) olarak adlandırılan doğal dile dayalı poz tahmini çalışmasıdır. JL2P uygulamasında tıpkı Dall-e de olduğu gibi yazı temelli bir aksiyon söz konusudur. Bu sistemde verilen sözel girdiye göre ilgili karakter, kendisinden istenen hareketi görsel olarak gerçekleştirebilmektedir. Bu durum animasyon ve oyun tasarımı alanında sadece sözel ifadeler üzerinden karakter görselleştirmelerinin ve hareketlerinin kolaylıkla yapılabileceğini göstermektedir. Bu makale, yapay zekânın veri görselleştirme ve hareketlendirme becerilerinin getirmiş olduğu güncel gelişmeleri, disiplinler arası bir bakış açısıyla okuyucuya aktarmayı amaçlamaktadır. Yapay zekâ ve veri görselleştirme alanındaki çalışmalar, tasarımcıların hikaye panosu (storyboard) oluştururken ya da beyin fırtınası (brainstorming) yaparken ilham almalarını sağlayabilecek bir sistemin kapılarını aralamaktadır. Bu alanda yapılan araştırmalar, tasarımcı ve yapay zekâ ilişkisinin yaratıcılık, üretkenlik, hız gibi kavramlar üzerinden değerlendirilmesi adına önemlidir.

Published: February 2021

Palado (Aglaia sp) is a plant that grows wild in the forest around Mamuju regency of West Sulawesi, Indonesia. This plant is locally known as palado. Palado seeds (Aglaia sp) can be used as a source of vegetable oil because it contains approximately 14.75 % oil, and it has the potential to be used as food ingredients or as raw material for oil production. The purpose of this study was to determine the chemical properties and the composition of fatty acids contained in palado seed oil (Aglaia sp). The employed method involved the use of palado fruit that had been processed to be palado seed and undergoing flouring process. Palado flour was produced by the extraction process by using chloroform solvent with the soxhlet method. The characteristics of the chemical properties in the oil produced were analyzed by using a standard method, including iodine, saponification, and acid values. The analysis of fatty acid composition was conducted by using gas chromatography. The results showed that palado oil extracted with hexane had an iodine value of 15.38 mg/g, saponification value of 190.01 mg KOH/g, and acids value of 1.961 mg KOH/g. The fatty acid composition of the palado seed oil consisted of saturated fatty acids (41.601 %), which included palmitic acid (41.062 %), myristic acid (0.539 %), and unsaturated fatty acids (45.949 %), which included mono-unsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) such as (22.929 %), oleic acid and poly-unsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), which was linoleic acid (23.020 %).

Oil and Gas industry in Yemen is considered as the biggest and variable sector. Therefore, the performance efficiency is very important to be attained during all the activities and phases that include searching, drilling, upstream, midstream, and downstream. As a crucial factor, stakeholders’ engagement theories have been emphasized the central role of stakeholders’ engagement to strategic planning efforts in contemporary organizations. This study therefore examined the impact of stakeholders’ engagement on the performance efficiency (time, cost, and quality) at the Yemeni oil and gas industry. The quantitative method was employed and online questionnaire was used as a primary source for collecting data. The sample size was 312, selected from three oil and gas companies; namely; Yemen Liquid Natural Gas Company, Safer Exploration and Production Oil Company and OMV Company. This study targeted managers and non-managers. The results show that stakeholders’ engagement has a significant relationship with the performance efficiency. In addition, stakeholders’ engagement has a significant impact on the performance efficiency. The results suggest the consideration of early stakeholders’ engagement in the planning, development, implementation, controlling and evaluation the performance. Managers should enhance every step regarding the participation of the stakeholders in the decision-making process. In addition, more effective practices will support achieving performance efficiency.
Muhafazakârlığa Yönelik İki Yaklaşım: Ana Temalar Ekseninde Siyasî ve Durumsal Muhafazakârlık
Authors: LALEOĞLU Fatma Zehra
Published: February 2021

Muhafazakârlık tanımları iki temel yaklaşım üzerinden yapılmaktadır. Bu yaklaşımların ilki muhafazakârlığı siyasî bir ideoloji olarak değerlendiren “siyasî muhafazakârlık”tır; ikincisi ise onu yaşama dair genel bir tutum ve davranış sayan “durumsal muhafazakârlık” olarak bilinir. Bu makalede öncelikle mezkur iki yaklaşım üzerinden “muhafazakarlık” tartışması gerçekleştirilmektedir. İkinci olarak ise muhafazakârlığın ana temaları ele alınmıştır. Bu temalar arasında gelenek, değişim, din, aile ve toplum, devlet ve otorite, mülkiyet, ahlaki düzen başlıklarına yer verilmiştir. Söz konusu temalar üzerinden siyasî ve durumsal muhafazakârlığın ortak ve farklı yönleri ele incelenmiştir. İnceleme sonucunda siyasî ve durumsal muhafazakârlığın bu temalara yaklaşımının büyük ölçüde örtüştüğü görülmüştür. Bununla birlikte iki yaklaşım arasında bazı nüanslar da mevcuttur. Örneğin siyasî muhafazakârlıkta gelenek daha ziyade dini kurumlar, kulüpler, üniversiteler, vakıflar ve diğer benzeri kurumları temsil eden somut bir gerçeklik olarak addedilmektedir. Durumsal muhafazakârlığa bakıldığında gelenek, tutum ve davranışları şekillendiren norm ve değerler olarak ön plana çıkmaktadır. Değişim özelinde ele alındığında ise durumsal muhafazakârlık diğer ideolojilere eklemlenebilmekte ve bu ideolojilerin mevcut doktrinlerinin koruyucusu olabilmektedir. Bu haliyle siyasî muhafazakârlıktan farklı olarak ideolojiler üstü bir konuma erişmektedir. Öte yandan otorite bağlamında değerlendirildiğinde siyasi muhafazakârlığın kimi zaman otoriter kimi zaman da paternalist olarak değerlendirildiği görülmektedir. Bu tür değerlendirmelerin en önemli sebebi muhafazakârlığın otorite vurgusudur. Genel olarak bakıldığında ise durumsal muhafazakârlığın daha bireysel bir tavır alışı; siyasî muhafazakârlığın ise daha kurumsallaşmış bir düşünce sistemini ifade ettiğini söylememiz mümkündür.

Recensione a Montañés, maestro de maestros, catalogo della mostra a cura di Ignacio Cano Rivero, Ignacio Hermoso Romero e María del Valme Muñoz Rubio
Authors: Casciaro Raffaele
Published: February 2021

The critical review, recent restorations and an excellent photographic campaign have allowed a new reading of the work of Juan Martínez Montañés, the greatest wood sculptor of the Andalusian Renaissance. The Seville exhibition and its catalog explored themes such as the role of the wood arts in 16th and 17th century Andalusia, the contextual meaning of the art of the retable and the importance of polychromy in Montañés’s sculpture. Some attributions appear less convincing and a summary biographical profile that would have facilitated the reading of the essays and catalog entries is missing. This paper takes its cue from the theme of the exhibition to compare the Italian and Spanish critical tradition on polychrome wood sculpture. In Spain the high consideration for this sector of artistic production has always kept it at the center of the interests of the client and critics, unlike what has happened in Italy.
Giovan Battista Foggini e i Viviani: una nuova stagione umanistica per Firenze
Authors: Tommaso Galanti
Published: February 2021

The essay aims to highlight aspects related to thoughts and works of Florentine neo-humanistic culture of the late seventeenth century. We analyze two episodes of Giovan Battista Foggini’s early activity, which was strongly conditioned and determined by the mathematician Vincenzo Viviani. The first case is the facade of Viviani’s private palace, where the scagliola reliefs give shape to the message of the epigraphs on the cartouches. Stoic ethical principles, combined with the adherence to the Jesuit thought, are used to enhance Galileo Galilei and his discoveries, generating a modern mythology aimed at exalting the figure of the great scientist. The second commission that Foggini receives from the Viviani family by the end of the seventeenth century is the palace of the grand-ducal auditor Donato Viviani della Robbia. The architectural solutions adopted by Foggini stem from the legacy of Raphael’s thought concerning geometry and harmonic proportions. At the same time, the internal plastic and pic- torial decoration provides a behavioral model based on the canons of measure and aims at the search for truth: following this vocation, man will be in a position to gain awareness of the universal harmony and to spread it through beauty and pleasure. These concepts, taken from the thought of the Jesuit Sforza Pallavicino, come to Florence through Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, with whom Viviani entertained a lively intellectual exchange.
Pittura analitica e analiticità della pittura. Per un diverso approccio interpretativo
Authors: Fazzuoli Giovanna
Published: February 2021

The present essay aims at tracing the critical debate developing in the 1970s in Italy around so-called Pittura analitica (Analytic Painting), while identifying Filiberto Menna and Giorgio Cortenova as two of the most relevant critical voices of the time. It also aims at clarifying such a label, inviting readers to rethink traditional categories and chronologies while reassessing the general status and role of the painting medium.
Le Grand Musée. Altri sguardi sul Louvre
Authors: Zuliani Stefania
Published: February 2021

Beyond the much discussed but certainly meaningful experience of the opening in 2017 of the Abu Dhabi satellite museum, a controversial example of a global museum, the Louvre has not lost in the passage between the two centuries the ability to present itself as an updated museological research space. Proof of this is the series of exhibitions Parti pris (1990-1998) where, thanks to the direction of the “dissident” art historian Régis Michel, intellectuals of various backgrounds – Jacques Derrida, Peter Greenaway, Jean Starobinski, Hubert Damisch, Julia Kristeva – have reinterpreted the collections of the museum through exhibitions of an overtly subjective and undisciplined nature. So, the Parti pris project was, in Michel’s words, a “zone of freedom and break” in the heart of the institution, questioning not the prestige but rather its too rigid and monumental identity. This proposal was partly taken up by Jean-Marc Terrasse, director of the auditorium and cultural events of the Louvre from 2005 to 2014, with his “special invitations” for protagonists of international culture, to build alternative and eccentric narratives through history, works and spaces of the Louvre. This essay, which analyzes in particular the contribution of the nobel for literature J.M.G. Le Clézio, curator of the project Les musées sont des mondes (2011), highlights the critical value and the urgency of these exhibition proposals thanks to which the museum becomes the driving force of a reflection which, overcoming conventional disciplinary distinctions, is able to urge the public to new views and different aesthetic and ethical perspectives.

Objetos de fronteira: um diálogo entre a ciência da informação e a ciência de dados
Authors: Mello Filho Luiz Lourenço de , De Araújo JÚNIOR Rogério Henrique
Published: February 2021

Objetivo: A tecnologia mediadora envolvida nas comunicações possibilitou um significativo incremento da quantidade de interações entre produtores e consumidores de informação, produtos ou serviços. Neste artigo, será apresentada uma proposta para a organização da informação necessária no desenvolvimento de artefatos utilizados na mediação e conhecidos como assistentes virtuais (Chatbots). Esses canais integradores de comunicação serão conceituados como objetos de fronteira e a sua prototipação como atividade sugerida aos profissionais da Ciência da Informação em busca de uma sinergia cada vez maior com a Ciência de Dados.
Método: O artigo se baseia em uma metodologia de natureza exploratória e aplicada com a utilização de um “Estudo de Caso” orientado por uma profunda revisão bibliográfica da teoria dos objetos de fronteira e do estudo das plataformas de inteligência artificial utilizadas para desenvolvimento de chatbots, investigando as ações, métodos e ferramentas para organização da informação.
Resultados: É apresentada uma proposta de método para a organização da informação baseada em uma taxonomia específica para o domínio das interações estabelecidas entre o poder público e os cidadãos. Nesse contexto é estabelecido um conjunto de intenções, entidades e diálogos informacionais que podem justamente prover a habilidade necessária para prototipação do assistente virtual.
Conclusões: Os objetos de fronteira se constituem como uma alternativa apropriada para mediação das práticas sociais utilizadas por diversos tipos de comunidades que precisem trocar informações de forma estruturada. Por meio de uma base de conhecimento previamente modelada na forma de intenções, entidades e diálogos, as necessidades informacionais de diferentes comunidades passam a ser atendidas com a consequente abertura de um campo excepcional para atuação do profissional da Ciência da Informação.

Published: February 2021

Objetivo: Tendo em vista a interação do ser humano com ambientes de informação digital, tornam-se necessários estudos referentes à capacidade desses ambientes em proporcionarem uma navegação voltada à facilidade do sujeito em encontrar uma informação. Objetiva investigar como os estudos sobre Encontrabilidade da Informação têm estabelecido relações teóricas com a Arquitetura da Informação.
Método: Utiliza o Método Quadripolar como ferramenta, com abordagem qualitativa mediante a análise de conteúdo. No polo epistemológico, discorre sobre o paradigma sócio-cognitivo. No polo teórico, discute a relação entre a Arquitetura da Informação e a Encontrabilidade da Informação. No polo técnico, utiliza a análise de conteúdo para subsidiar categorizações e núcleos de sentido entre as publicações encontradas no Portal de Periódicos da Capes no quadriênio 2016 -2019. No polo morfológico, ressalta as possíveis relações teóricas entre esses estudos neste momento da história e cultura científicas.
Resultado: Mediante a análise de conteúdo, são estabelecidas classes e categorias temáticas aos núcleos de sentido constatados entre a Encontrabilidade da Informação e a Arquitetura da Informação, observados na produção científica do quadriênio de 2016 a 2019.
Conclusões: Conforme o quadriênio de 2016 a 2019, refletindo este momento da história e cultura científicas, a Arquitetura da Informação tem preponderância sobre a Encontrabilidade da Informação, no sentido de fornecer elementos sistêmicos aos ambientes analógicos, digitais ou híbridos de informação.
Práticas de citação na Organização e Representação do Conhecimento no Brasil
Authors: Melo Rinaldo Ribeiro de , Silveira Murilo , Santos Raimundo
Published: February 2021

Objetivo: Analisar as formas de produção e os elementos de distinção das práticas de citação no domínio da Organização e Representação do Conhecimento no Brasil de 2015 a 2018. Os objetivos específicos são: mapear os autores mais produtivos e citados do período no domínio de Organização e Representação do Conhecimento e identificar as razões de citação dos autores mais citados do período a partir de suas contribuições científicas.
Método: Configura-se como uma contribuição de natureza bibliográfica e descritiva. Utiliza-se o método cientométrico por meio das técnicas de análise de conteúdo e de assunto para demonstrar as motivações das práticas de citações dos pesquisadores vinculados ao domínio da Organização e Representação do Conhecimento.
Resultado: Evidencia-se a predominância de citação em pesquisadores nacionais no recorte analisado, com ênfase para a autora Fujita, M. S. L. e o autor Guimarães, J. A. C. Em relação às razões de citações, destaca-se o domínio da dimensão conceitual com 93,2%, em contrapartida, a dimensão social aparece com apenas 6,8% do total das ocorrências. Na distribuição das razões das citações por categorias podem-se destacar as ocorrências voltadas para a sustentação de declarações e informações, que receberam 1.148 menções, bem como as razões voltadas para discussões mais teóricas e conceituais, com o total de 902 razões vinculadas.
Conclusões: Em que pesem as formas de produção e as instâncias de consagração apontadas pelo binômio produção-citação a partir dos resultados, a posição dos autores mais produtivos no campo reverbera em citações, com razões plurais e motivações concentradas na sustentação de argumentos, exemplificação de situações, casos e pontos de vista, bem como de definições e esclarecimentos teóricos, conceituais e metodológicos.
Videomontagens de humor: reflexões sob a perspectiva do gênero
Authors: Ruiz Marco Antonio Almeida , Araújo Ligia Mara Boin Menossi de
Published: February 2021

Este artigo tem como objetivo observar como videomontagens do YouTube se constituem em um gênero do discurso. Desta forma, iremos pensar como esse gênero foi mobilizado para construir sentido em torno da imagem do ex-presidente Lula. Com o embasamento teórico-metodológico da análise do discurso, em especial na questão do gênero videomontagem, na perspectiva bakhtiniana, procuramos posicionarmo-nos sob um viés mais midiatizado, assim como apoiamo-nos na questão do gênero a partir da noção de cena enunciativa proposta por Dominique Maingueneau.
cartografia como método: potências e devires para as práticas em análise do discurso
Authors: Rettich Juliana Silva
Published: February 2021

Este ensaio tem como objetivo narrar o processo feito ao longo da dissertação de mestrado no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras, na área de Estudos de Língua, com a abordagem da Análise do Discurso francesa, cujos pilares foram Dominique Maingueneau e Michel Foucault. No entanto, aqui, será apresentado o método da cartografia, a partir de uma perspectiva deleuziana, tendo como principal suporte teórico o livro Pistas do Método Cartográfico: pesquisa intervenção e produção de subjetividade. O resultado é a possiblidade de entrelaçar narrativamente teoria e prática, apresentando a potência desse método em outras áreas das ciências que não só a psicologia. A pesquisa de mestrado se deu a partir da análise do PL 867/2015, fruto do movimento Escola Sem Partido, com a construção de uma rede discursiva, composta por esse projeto de lei, seus apensados, além do PL 14111/2015, que tipifica como crime o chamado assédio ideológico em sala.
Ultrapassagem de barreira linguística e cooptação de mão de obra no Sul da Bahia: primeiros anos de Colonização Portuguesa (1500-1549)
Authors: Nobre Wagner Carvalho de Argolo
Published: February 2021

Neste artigo, temos como principais objetivos a explicitação de como se deu a ultrapassagem de barreira linguística e a cooptação inicial de mão de obra para os engenhos de produção de açúcar, durante o início da colonização portuguesa no Brasil, com ênfase para a região sul da Bahia e para o período compreendido entre 1500 e 1549. Como objetivo secundário, procuramos ressaltar a importância do desenvolvimento, no âmbito da ciência linguística, da disciplina de história social da linguagem (Burke, 1995), já que investiga um dos principais aspectos de uma língua: seu papel social, exercido por seus falantes em suas relações interpessoais cotidianas – dimensão digna de nota –, na medida em que o caráter bem sucedido das relações linguísticas iniciais, entre povos distintos, pode ser determinante para interações sociais menos deletérias, assim como produzir consequências importantes sobre a formação de uma identidade nacional.
