Authors: Milewski Adam M. , Thomas Matthew B. , Seyoum Wondwosen M. , Rasmussen Todd C.
Published: November 2019

Accurate assessments of groundwater resources in major aquifers across the globe are crucial for sustainable management of freshwater reservoirs. Observations from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite have become invaluable as a means to identify regions groundwater change. While there is a large body of research that focuses on downscaling coarse (1°) GRACE products, few studies have attempted to spatially downscale GRACE to produce fine resolution (5 km) maps that are more useful to resource managers. This study trained a boosted regression tree model to statistically downscale GRACE total water storage anomaly to monthly 5 km groundwater level anomaly maps in the karstic upper Floridan aquifer (UFA) using multiple hydrologic datasets. Evaluation of spatial predictions with existing groundwater wells indicated satisfactory performance (R = 0.79, NSE = 0.61). Results demonstrate that groundwater levels were stable between 2002–2016 but varied seasonally. The data also highlights areas where groundwater pumping is exacerbating UFA water-level declines. While results demonstrate the applicability of machine learning based methods for spatial downscaling of GRACE data, future studies should account for preferential flowpaths (i.e., conduits, lineaments) in karstic systems.

This study aims to analyze and assess studies published from 1992 to 2019 and listed in the Web of Science (WOS) and Current Contents (CC) databases, and to identify agricultural abandonment by application of remote sensing (RS) optical and microwave data. We selected 73 studies by applying structured queries in a field tag form and Boolean operators in the WOS portal and by expert analysis. An expert assessment yielded the topical picture concerning the definitions and criteria for the identification of abandoned agricultural land (AAL). The analysis also showed the absence of similar field research, which serves not only for validation, but also for understanding the process of agricultural abandonment. The benefit of the fusion of optical and radar data, which supports the application of Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 data, is also evident. Knowledge attained from the literary sources indicated that there exists, in the world literature, a well-covered problem of abandonment identification or biomass estimation, as well as missing works dealing with the assessment of the natural accretion of biomass in AAL.
Structural Building Damage Detection with Deep Learning: Assessment of a State-of-the-Art CNN in Operational Conditions
Authors: Nex Francesco , Duarte Diogo , Tonolo Fabio Giulio , Kerle Norman
Published: November 2019

Remotely sensed data can provide the basis for timely and efficient building damage maps that are of fundamental importance to support the response activities following disaster events. However, the generation of these maps continues to be mainly based on the manual extraction of relevant information in operational frameworks. Considering the identification of visible structural damages caused by earthquakes and explosions, several recent works have shown that Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) outperform traditional methods. However, the limited availability of publicly available image datasets depicting structural disaster damages, and the wide variety of sensors and spatial resolution used for these acquisitions (from space, aerial and UAV platforms), have limited the clarity of how these networks can effectively serve First Responder needs and emergency mapping service requirements. In this paper, an advanced CNN for visible structural damage detection is tested to shed some light on what deep learning networks can currently deliver, and its adoption in realistic operational conditions after earthquakes and explosions is critically discussed. The heterogeneous and large datasets collected by the authors covering different locations, spatial resolutions and platforms were used to assess the network performances in terms of transfer learning with specific regard to geographical transferability of the trained network to imagery acquired in different locations. The computational time needed to deliver these maps is also assessed. Results show that quality metrics are influenced by the composition of training samples used in the network. To promote their wider use, three pre-trained networks—optimized for satellite, airborne and UAV image spatial resolutions and viewing angles—are made freely available to the scientific community.
Sensitivity of Optimal Estimation Satellite Retrievals to Misspecification of the Prior Mean and Covariance, with Application to OCO-2 Retrievals
Authors: Nguyen Hai , Cressie Noel , Hobbs Jonathan
Published: November 2019

Optimal Estimation (OE) is a popular algorithm for remote sensing retrievals, partly due to its explicit parameterization of the sources of error and the ability to propagate them into estimates of retrieval uncertainty. These properties require specification of the prior distribution of the state vector. In many remote sensing applications, the true priors are multivariate and hard to characterize properly. Instead, priors are often constructed based on subject-matter expertise, existing empirical knowledge, and a need for computational expediency, resulting in a “working prior.” This paper explores the retrieval bias and the inaccuracy in retrieval uncertainty caused by explicitly separating the true prior (the probability distribution of the underlying state) from the working prior (the probability distribution used within the OE algorithm), with an application to Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) retrievals. We find that, in general, misspecifying the mean in the working prior will lead to biased retrievals, and misspecifying the covariance in the working prior will lead to inaccurate estimates of the retrieval uncertainty, though their effects vary depending on the state-space signal-to-noise ratio of the observing instrument. Our results point towards some attractive properties of a class of uninformative priors that is implicit for least-squares retrievals. Furthermore, our derivations provide a theoretical basis, and an understanding of the trade-offs involved, for the practice of inflating a working-prior covariance in order to reduce the prior’s impact on a retrieval (e.g., for OCO-2 retrievals). Finally, our results also lead to practical recommendations for specifying the prior mean and the prior covariance in OE.
An Evaluation and Comparison of Four Dense Time Series Change Detection Methods Using Simulated Data
Authors: Awty-Carroll Katie , Bunting Pete , Hardy Andy , Bell Gemma
Published: November 2019

Access to temporally dense time series such as data from the Landsat and Sentinel-2 missions has lead to an increase in methods which aim to monitor land cover change on a per-acquisition rather than a yearly basis. Evaluating the accuracy and limitations of these methods can be difficult because validation data are limited and often rely on human interpretation. Simulated time series offer an objective method for evaluating and comparing between change detection algorithms. A set of simulated time series was used to evaluate four change detection methods: (1) Breaks for Additive and Seasonal Trend (BFAST); (2) BFAST Monitor; (3) Continuous Change Detection and Classification (CCDC); and (4) Exponentially Weighted Moving Average Change Detection (EWMACD). In total, 151,200 simulations were generated to represent a range of abrupt, gradual, and seasonal changes. EWMACD was found to give the best performance overall, correctly identifying the true date of change in 76.6% of cases. CCDC performed worst (51.8%). BFAST performed well overall but correctly identified less than 10% of seasonal changes (changes in amplitude, length of season, or number of seasons). All methods showed some decrease in performance with increased noise and missing data, apart from BFAST Monitor which improved when data were removed. The following recommendations are made as a starting point for future studies: EWMACD should be used for detection of lower magnitude changes and changes in seasonality; CCDC should be used for robust detection of complete land cover class changes; EWMACD and BFAST are suitable for noisy datasets, depending on the application; and CCDC should be used where there are high quantities of missing data. The simulated datasets have been made freely available online as a foundation for future work.
Entrepreneurial Business Tie and Product Innovation: A Moderated Mediation Model
Authors: Wang Gang , Li Linwei , Ma Gang
Published: November 2019

Radical innovation has attracted increasing attention in corporate sustainability research. Employing a social capital perspective, we explore how and when entrepreneurial business ties (EBTs) enhance radical innovation by considering risk taking as a critical mediator and environmental turbulence as a conditional factor of the mediation effect. Data is collected from 322 Chinese new ventures. We find empirical support for the moderated mediation model. Specifically, EBT is positively related to risk taking while risk taking is positively related to radical innovation. Risk taking further serves as a mediator in the EBT-radical innovation relationship, and this indirect effect is stronger at a high level of technological turbulence. By revealing how entrepreneurs translate their business ties into positive radical innovation outcomes through risk taking and when this indirect effect is most effective, we enhance understandings of the value of EBT and how to impel radical innovation.

Authors: Jan Ihsan Ullah , Ji Seonggoo , Yeo Chankoo
Published: November 2019

This study applies the theory of planned behavior and value–attitude–behavior hierarchy model to examine the influence of green product consumption values on the green product buying attitude and green product purchase behavior. Additionally, unlike the previous studies, the current study explores the moderating effects of the role of government and media exposure in the relationships. Data was collected by an online survey from 238 green product consumers in China. Structural equation modeling was applied for testing the hypothesized relationships. The results of the study have indicated that ecological value and economical value have not significantly influenced the green product buying attitude. In contrast, the health and safety values of green product have positively influenced the green product buying attitude. Moreover, the buying attitude of consumers has a significant positive effect on green product purchase behavior. Furthermore, the results showed that the role of government and media exposure have significantly moderated the relationship between safety value and buying attitude of green product.
Government Size and Regional Capital Flows in China
Authors: Han Hongyun , Lin Shuang
Published: November 2019

Capital flows are key variables supporting the sustainability of economic growth. Based on a dataset of 31 provinces in China over 1997–2014, this paper utilizes the system generalized method of moments (System GMM) to investigate the determinants of capital flows and analyses the impact of government size on capital flows. Preliminary results show that government size exerts a negative effect on capital inflows. Specifically, government spending on capital construction and administration crowds out capital inflows significantly, while government spending on science and technology crowds in capital inflows dramatically. In addition, high quality human capital, advanced financial development, and high-level trade openness are conducive to capital inflows. High tax and labor cost impede capital inflows. These results provide proof for China’s government to reduce the size of government spending appropriately and optimize its government expenditure structure for the purpose of crowding in capital inflows.
Study on Evolution of Food Safety Status and Supervision Policy—A System Based on Quantity, Quality, and Development Safety
Authors: Yang Jianhui , Lin Yaoben
Published: November 2019

This paper aims to construct an index system of evaluating food safety status, composed of three sub-systems—quantity safety, quality safety, and development safety. The index system is designed to collect annual data from 2005 to 2017 and run a chronological evaluation on China’s food safety status based on an entropy method. The evaluation results indicate that though China’s food safety supervision effect has been stably sound, the highest score is 0.7392 (in 2017). In addition, the proportions of the above three sub-systems were changed towards a balanced trend, with quality safety rising from less than 7% to 36.19% as a significant part of the evaluation of the effect of food safety supervision. In terms of single indexes, agrochemical input intensity and the ontology of agro-production safety have made relatively great contributions, while the indexes that embody price safety lack stability, and the roles of indexes related to development safety in the effect of food safety supervision have been increasingly recognized and valued.
Second-Order Sliding Mode Formation Control of Multiple Robots by Extreme Learning Machine
Authors: Qian Dianwei , Zhang Guigang , Wang Jian , Wu Zhimin
Published: November 2019

This paper addresses a second-order sliding mode control method for the formation problem of multirobot systems. The formation patterns are usually symmetrical. This sliding mode control is based on the super-twisting law. In many real-world applications, the robots suffer from a great diversity of uncertainties and disturbances that greatly challenge super-twisting sliding mode formation maneuvers. In particular, such a challenge has adverse effects on the formation performance when the uncertainties and disturbances have an unknown bound. This paper focuses on this issue and utilizes the technique of an extreme learning machine to meet this challenge. Within the leader–follower framework, this paper investigates the integration of the super-twisting sliding mode control method and the extreme learning machine. The output weights of this extreme learning machine are adaptively adjusted so that this integrated formation design has guaranteed closed-loop stability in the sense of Lyaponov. In the end, some simulations are implemented via a multirobot platform, illustrating the superiority and effectiveness of the integrated formation design in spite of uncertainties and disturbances.

Published: November 2019

The objective of this paper is to derive Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities for several higher order strongly h -preinvex functions via Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals. These results are the generalizations of the several known classes of preinvex functions. An identity associated with k-times differentiable function has been established involving Riemann-Liouville fractional integral operator. A number of new results can be deduced as consequences for the suitable choices of the parameters h and σ . Our outcomes with these new generalizations have the abilities to be implemented for the evaluation of many mathematical problems related to real world applications.

Published: November 2019

Since water shortage has been a serious challenge in Iran, long-term investigations of alternative water resources are vital. In this study, we performed long-term (1979–2018) model simulation at seven locations (costal, desert, mountain, and urban conditions) in Iran to investigate temporal and spatial variation of dew formation. The model was developed to simulate the dew formation (water and ice) based on the heat and mass balance equation with ECMWF-ERA-Interim (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts–Re-Analysis) meteorological data as input. According to the model simulation, the maximum mean yearly cumulative dew yield (~65 L/m2) was observed in the mountain region in the north part of Iran with a yearly mean cumulative dew yield was ~36 L/m2. The dew yield showed a clear seasonal variation at all selected locations with maximum yields in winter (mean monthly cumulative 3–8 L/m2 depending on the location). Here we showed that dew formation is frequent in northern Iran. In other areas, where there was suffering from water-stress (southern and central parts of Iran), dew can be a utilized as an alternative source of water. The dew yield during 2001–2014 was lower than the overall mean during the past 40 years a result of climate change in Iran.
A Novel and Facile Method to Characterize the Suitability of Metallic Iron for Water Treatment
Authors: Lufingo Mesia , Ndé-Tchoupé Arnaud Igor , Hu Rui , Njau Karoli N. , Noubactep Chicgoua
Published: November 2019

Metallic iron (Fe0) materials have been industrially used for water treatment since the 1850s. There are still many fundamental challenges in affordably and reliably characterizing the Fe0 intrinsic reactivity. From the available methods, the one using Fe0 dissolution in ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA—2 mM) was demonstrated the most applicable as it uses only four affordable chemicals: Ascorbic acid, an ascorbate salt, EDTA and 1,10-Phenanthroline (Phen). A careful look at these chemicals reveals that EDTA and Phen are complexing agents for dissolved iron species. Fe3-EDTA is very stable and difficult to destabilize; ascorbic acid is one of the few appropriate reducing agents, therefore. On the other hand, the Fe2-Phen complex is so stable that oxidation by dissolved O2 is not possible. This article positively tests Fe0 (0.1 g) dissolution in 2 mM Phen (50 mL) as a characterization tool for the intrinsic reactivity, using 9 commercial steel wool (Fe0 SW) specimens as probe materials. The results are compared with those obtained by the EDTA method. The apparent iron dissolution rate in EDTA (kEDTA) and in Phen (kPhen) were such that 0.53 ≤ kEDTA (μg h−1) ≤ 4.81 and 0.07 ≤ kPhen (μg h−1) ≤ 1.30. Higher kEDTA values, relative to kPhen, are a reflection of disturbing Fe3 species originating from Fe2 oxidation by dissolved O2 and dissolution of iron corrosion products. It appears that the Phen method considers only the forward dissolution of Fe0. The Phen method is reliable and represents the most affordable approach for characterizing the suitability of Fe0 for water treatment.

Authors: Hussain Mohammed S. , Abd-Elhamid Hany F. , Javadi Akbar A. , Sherif Mohsen M.
Published: November 2019

Seawater intrusion (SWI) is one of the most challenging and widespread environmental problems that threaten the quality and sustainability of fresh groundwater resources in coastal aquifers. The excessive pumping of groundwater, associated with the lack of natural recharge, has exacerbated the SWI problem in arid and semi-arid regions. Therefore, appropriate management strategies should be implemented in coastal aquifers to control the impacts of SWI problems, considering acceptable limits of economic and environmental costs. The management of coastal aquifers involves the identification of an acceptable ultimate landward extent of the saline water body and the calculation of the amount of seaward discharge of freshwater that is necessary to keep the saline–freshwater interface in a seacoast position. This paper presents a comprehensive review of available hydraulic and physical management strategies that can be used to reduce and control SWI in coastal aquifers. Advantages and disadvantages of the different approaches are presented and discussed.

Published: November 2019

We reflect on methodologies to support integrated river basin planning for the Ayeyarwady Basin in Myanmar, and the Kamala Basin in Nepal, to which we contributed from 2017 to 2019. The principles of Integrated Water Resources Management have been promoted across states and regions with markedly different biophysical and political economic conditions. IWRM-based river basin planning is complex, resource intensive, and aspirational. It deserves scrutiny to improve process and outcome legitimacy. We focus on the value of co-production and deliberation in IWRM. Among our findings: (i) multi-stakeholder participation can be complicated by competition between actors for resources and legitimacy; (ii) despite such challenges, multi-stakeholder deliberative approaches can empower actors and can be an effective means for co-producing knowledge; (iii) tensions between (rational choice and co-productive) models of decision complicate participatory deliberative planning. Our experience suggests that a commitment to co-productive decision-making fosters socially legitimate IWRM outcomes.
“Garbage in, Garbage Out” Does Not Hold True for Indigenous Community Flood Extent Modeling in the Prairie Pothole Region

Published: November 2019

Extensive land use changes and uncertainties arising from climate change in recent years have contributed to increased flood magnitudes in the Canadian Prairies and threatened the vulnerabilities of many small and indigenous communities. There is, thus, a need to create modernized flood risk management tools to support small and rural communities’ preparations for future extreme events. In this study, we developed spatial flood information for an indigenous community in Central Saskatchewan using LiDAR based DEM and a spatial modeling tool, the wetland DEM ponding model (WDPM). A crucial element of flood mapping in this study was community engagement in data collection, scenario description for WDPM, and flood map validation. Community feedback was also used to evaluate the utility of the modelled flood outputs. The results showed the accuracy of WDPM outputs could be improved not only with the quality of DEM but also with additional community-held information on contributing areas (watershed information). Based on community feedback, this accessible, spatially-focused modeling approach can provide relevant information for community spatial planning and developing risk management strategies. Our study found community engagement to be valuable in flood modeling and mapping by: providing necessary data, validating input data through lived experiences, and providing alternate scenarios to be used in future work. This research demonstrates the suitability and utility of LiDAR and WDPM complemented by community participation for improving flood mapping in the Prairie Pothole Region (PPR). The approach used in the study also serves as an important guide for applying transdisciplinary tools and methods for establishing good practice in research and helping build resilient communities in the Prairies.

Entre la autonomía y el bien humano de la vida
Authors: Massini-Correas Carlos I.
Published: November 2019

En los debates contemporáneos acerca de la legitimidad moral del aborto provocado, uno de los argumentos más corrientes es el que se centra en un presunto conflicto de derechos morales entre un derecho de autonomía de la madre gestante y un derecho a la vida del feto. El documento analizó los términos centrales de esta ar- gumentación, aunque estudiando solamente el núcleo del planteo. Entre las principales conclusiones a las que arriba el autor están que la mera capacidad de optar por diferentes vías de acción - la denominada autonomía - no puede justificar por sí sola una acción deliberada - el aborto - dirigida intencionalmente a dar muerte a un feto humano, ya que esa muerte - que es objeto del acto - no puede ser justificadamente una razón moral para la acción; y que, una opinión contraria significa la ruina de la ética como actividad ra- cional y el olvido del principio basilar sobre el que se levantan todas las comunidades humanas: el de que no se debe matar nunca deliberada y directamente a los demás seres humanos.
El conflicto familiar como problema humano y el vínculo familiar a ser tutelado
Authors: Bermúdez Tapia Manuel
Published: November 2019

En el ámbito del derecho de familia, la doctrina y el desarrollo normativo suelen condicionar el trámite del proceso judicial en la especialidad en una perspectiva sumamente tradicional, que permite sostener la disfuncionalidad del conflicto familiar en el ámbito judicial. Así, el desarrollo de la especialidad no permite atender el conflicto familiar desde un punto de vista humano, limitándose al análisis exegético y decimonónico de la ley que va en dirección contraria al desarrollo de la sociedad y de la familia. Como consecuencia de ello, las partes no logran atender sus necesidades y se genera un mayor problema al desvincular a las partes que integran la familia, afectándose el vínculo familiar con problemas que amplían el conflicto familiar.

This research was conducted in April - September 2019 with the location of Manado Bay and the location of the Manado Bay coral reef ecosystem survey set at 3 sample points, equipped with 3 points in front of the BOBOCA Malalayang monument, in front of the Malalayang gas station and ANTRA Sario. Retrieval of coral reef data is by using the Line Intercept Transect (LIT) method. LIT observations were carried out with SCUBA diving at a depth of 6m. Observations were made by recording coral lifeforms found along the transect line, and calculating the percentage of the selection. The data taken is the percentage of dead coral cover, live coral, and type of life form, diversity index taken at 3 sample points. From field observations found on Site 2 (Front of Malalayang gas station) the condition of coral reefs is included in the good category, with the percentage of live coral cover (Hard Coral) of 55%. At this station found various types of coral growth, but the highest at this station is a form of growth of Coral Masive (CM) of 19.2%, while the least found were corals in the form of Coral Mushrooms (Mushroom Coral) with a percentage of 0.4 %. Then Site 3, namely in ANTRA Sario obtained from coral reefs is included in the bad category, with the percentage of live coral cover (Hard Coral) only 7.1%. Coral Diversity in the three survey stations is different. Of the three stations determined above the Tugu Boboca Malalayang site with an index value of 2.54, followed at site 2 namely the Malalayang gas station with an index value of 2.36 and the lowest at site 3 at ANTRA Sario with an index value of 1.33. Furthermore, oceanographic conditions in the Gulf of Manado region are seen in the receding period, most of the air moves westward at the beginning of the period, then moves northeastward in the next period. While in the tide period the water moves northward, starting the period and then it is seen moving northeast and at the end of the period, the east direction.Key words : Coral reef, Oceanographic condition
¡CON LA IGLESIA HEMOS TOPADO…! Aspectos de una interacción polémica entre el Presidente Chávez y el Cardenal Urosa Savino
Authors: Alvarez Alexandra , Chumaceiro Irma
Published: November 2019

Las relaciones entre la Iglesia y el Estado no siempre han sido armónicas en Venezuela y durante el gobierno de Hugo Chávez el conflicto se ha ahondado. Este trabajo estudia un macro acto de habla constituido por el insulto de Chávez al Cardenal Urosa Savino y la respuesta de éste. Basándonos en el análisis crítico del discurso y la teoría de la cortesía, observamos la complejidad del episodio, que tiene aspectos civiles, religiosos y diplomáticos; asimismo, dado el peso institucional de los interlocutores tiene además un efecto perlocutivo importante. Como lo señalan Jucker y Taatsvisainen (2000), el insulto se define por la reacción del interlocutor. En el caso analizado, la reacción fue una respuesta contundente por parte del prelado, al señalar que el Presidente no tenía el derecho a insultar, al mismo tiempo que le hace una fuerte crítica a él y a su gestión de gobierno. Ninguno de los interlocutores es cortés, ni muestra interés en resolver el conflicto de forma amistosa.
Análise do discurso e psicanálise: a questão do sujeito
Authors: Araújo Oliveira Fábio
Published: November 2019

Considerando el “gesto” de rectificación de la noción de sujeto, emprendido por Michel Pêcheux en la escuela francesa del Análisis del Discurso (AD), en este trabajo analizamos la importancia de la producción psicoanalítica lacaniana para una mejor comprensión del AD, puesto que la mencionada rectificación se fundamenta precisamente en el Psicoanálisis. Para este estudio nos interesan las reflexiones sobre el sujeto desarrolladas por Pêcheux en su libro Les vérités de la Palice y la rectificación sobre el asunto, así como las nociones de inconsciente, real y causa elaboradas por Lacan. Percibimos que actualmente, después de más de dos décadas de la primera publicación de la rectificación (1983), el AD en Francia, tal como fue propuesto por Pêcheux, ha sido prácticamente abandonado. En Brasil, esta disciplina continúa con fuerza, si bien la rectificación llevada a cabo por el autor no tuvo eco entre sus seguidores. En estos dos casos, respetadas sus particularidades, podríamos identificar un síntoma de rechazo o silenciamento del Psicoanálisis.
La historia nacional como máscara en el discurso presidencial en México (2006-2012)
Authors: Salgado Andrade Eva
Published: November 2019

La propuesta que Patrick Charaudeau formula en su libro Le discours politique. Les masques du pouvoir, para considerar al discurso político como el lugar por excelencia para un juego de máscaras, sirve para explorar de qué manera, durante los años de 2006 a 2012 en México, la historia nacional fungió como una máscara para justificar la militarización como principal estrategia para combatir al crimen organizado. Asimismo, se advierte cómo las constantes apelaciones al prócer de la Independencia Nacional, José María Morelos y Pavón, fueron utilizadas para glorificar la muerte e incluso para adular la gestión presidencial.
Política de identidades e desigualdades sociais: Pobreza no contexto brasileiro pós-ditadura
Authors: Garcia da Silva Denize Elena , Santos Freitas-Escórcio Mara Cristina
Published: November 2019

El objetivo de este trabajo es mostrar cómo el fenómeno social de la pobreza constituye la piedra angular en la construcción de política de identidades en el contexto brasileño post-dictadura, mediante la comparación de metas ideológicas de cinco Jefes de Estado, en sus respectivos discursos de toma de gobierno. Marca el punto de partida una triangulación teórica, cuyos vértices son el Análisis Crítico del Discurso (Fairclough 2003), la Lingüística Sistémico Funcional (Halliday y Mathiessen 2004) y la Representación de Actores Sociales (van Leeuwen 1997). Los resultados sugieren que la pobreza se tematiza, aunque de manera oblicua, y constituye un translape en los discursos de los presidentes brasileños, donde identificamos, entre los componentes de la transitividad, una tendencia salvacionista y heroica respecto de las intenciones transmitidas en el habla de cada Jefe de Estado sucesor. Hemos observado también una rasgo recurrente que refleja la intención de cada presidente electo de distanciarse de las prácticas de mandatarios anteriores.
Una aproximación a los estudios del discurso en Uruguay
Authors: Gabbiani Beatriz , Madfes Irene , Orlando Virginia
Published: November 2019

Este trabajo se plantea como una aproximación a la investigación en discurso en el Uruguay y a las tendencias teóricas y metodológicas propias del abordaje realizado a las temáticas investigadas. Focaliza las investigaciones desarrolladas en el Instituto de Lingüística de la Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias de la Educación, Universidad de la República, ya que esta institución es la única universidad pública del Uruguay, en donde se realiza la mayor parte de la investigación. Los estudios del discurso en Uruguay, cuyos antecedentes datan de mediados de los años ochenta, se consolidan particularmente en la última década sobre todo con el estudio de las interacciones institucionales en el ámbito educativo, el consultorio médico y los centros de atención telefónica de índole variada. La atención otorgada en dichos estudios a cuestiones tales como poder, inequidad, resistencia, control y sumisión está orientada por las corrientes enmarcadas en el análisis crítico del discurso.
Tergiversaciones y correspondencias: la metáfora y sus bemoles
Authors: Chamorro Miranda Diana , Mizuno Haydar Jorge , Moss Margaret Gillian
Published: November 2019

En este artículo trataremos las metáforas, léxica y gramatical, y su relación con el aprendizaje de los y las estudiantes, en las áreas de Ciencias Naturales y Ciencias Sociales. Se aborda el tema desde la perspectiva del análisis del discurso tanto de los textos escolares como de los estudiantes y de los docentes. Los resultados obtenidos en nuestras investigaciones muestran que las metáforas parecen ser un problema para los y las estudiantes en la comprensión de los textos: las léxicas por la falta de referentes claros o por ser usadas fuera de su contexto usual, y las gramaticales por la pérdida de información que implican. Intentaremos esbozar un análisis crítico de estos rasgos lingüísticos y presentaremos una propuesta para el manejo metodológico adecuado de las metáforas en el aula.
El Ser y el Hacer del DIRCOM: un análisis en la perspectiva del discurso
Authors: Acosta Valencia Gladys Lucía
Published: November 2019

Este artículo presenta dos tesis alusivas al ser y al hacer del director de comunicaciones en el escenario corporativo y se organiza en tres apartados. En el primero se delimita la perspectiva teórica y metodológica que se adopta haciendo énfasis en dos nociones que resultan clave: discurso y sujeto. En el segundo se sustenta la tesis que alude a la constitución de la identidad del comunicador corporativo bajo el supuesto de que ésta se ejerce en medio del antagonismo de fuerzas y se constituye a partir de dos referentes políticos: identidad y cultura, por un lado e imagen corporativa, por el otro. En un tercer momento se desarrolla la tesis de que la acción del comunicador es en esencia una práctica política. Finalmente, se esbozan algunas conclusiones.
El Desarrollo de la habilidad para manejar tiempos verbales en la narración
Authors: Hess Zimmermann Karina
Published: November 2019

El objetivo de este trabajo es dar cuenta de la manera en que niños de edad escolar utilizan los tiempos verbales dentro de la narración. Para ello se realiza un análisis de los verbos del indicativo producidos en 208 narraciones orales infantiles, obtenidas en dos situaciones distintas: formal (24 narraciones) e informal (184 relatos). Los datos provienen de una muestra integrada por 24 niños de 6, 9 y 12 años pertenecientes a dos escuelas distintas. Los resultados muestran una creciente capacidad en el niño para orientar al oyente sobre los eventos que son parte de la narración, el ‘entonces’, y los que pertenecen a la conversación, el ‘ahora’. Además, apuntan hacia un desarrollo de la habilidad para combinar los tiempos verbales a fin de tomar cada vez más en cuenta las expectativas del oyente y de organizar el texto enestructuras narrativas mayores.
Estado argentino y cumbia villera
Authors: Serpa Cecilia
Published: November 2019

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar las Pautas de evaluación para los contenidos de la cumbia villera (COMFER1, 2001) desde la perspectiva de la Sociología del Lenguaje (Calvet, 1997; Cooper, 1997) a fin de identificar la actitud (Baker, 1992) y las representaciones sociolingüísticas (Boyer, 1991) del Estado con respecto a este géneromusical. Partiendo de la afirmación de que el análisis de los instrumentos, que permiten la intervención de los estados en materia de política y planificación lingüística, pone en evidencia las relaciones de poder que se juegan en el seno de una sociedad particular en un momento dado (Calvet, 1997), se probará que las Pautas pretenden intervenir imperativamente sobre el lenguaje a fin de regular su forma y su uso y defender lo que reconoce como ‘lengua legítima’.
