Local energy match based non-sub sampled contourlet Transform for multi modal medical image fusion
Authors: Shyamala Devi M , Balamurugan P
Published: July 2018

Image processing technology requires moreover the full image or the part of image which is to be processed from the user’s point of view like the radius of object etc. The main purpose of fusion is to diminish dissimilar error between the fused image and the input images. With respect to the medical diagnosis, the edges and outlines of the concerned objects is more important than extra information. So preserving the edge features of the image is worth for investigating the image fusion. The image with higher contrast contains more edge-like features. Here we propose a new medical image fusion scheme namely Local Energy Match NSCT based on discrete contourlet transformation, which is constructive to give the details of curve edges. It is used to progress the edge information of fused image by dropping the distortion. This transformation lead to crumbling of multimodal image addicted to finer and coarser details and finest details will be decayed into unusual resolution in dissimilar orientation. The input multimodal images namely CT and MRI images are first transformed by Non Sub sampled Contourlet Transformation (NSCT) which decomposes the image into low frequency and high frequency elements. In our system, the Low frequency coefficient of the image is fused by image averaging and Gabor filter bank algorithm. The processed High frequency coefficients of the image are fused by image averaging and gradient based fusion algorithm. Then the fused image is obtained by inverse NSCT with local energy match based coefficients. To evaluate the image fusion accuracy, Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Correlation Coefficient parameters are used in this work .
An Efficient multi stage security model based on cross layer mechanism for identifying and preventing black hole attack in wireless ad-hoc networks
Authors: Jagadeesan S , Parthasarathy V
Published: July 2018

Mobile Adhoc Network (MANET) is one of the popular and highly demanded networks functioning under wireless adhoc network. It has high demand by various emerging applications in the entire world. MANET and its necessities are increasing day by day. MANET and its various components like node, route and etc., are too dynamic regarding creating, deployment, mobility, speed, join and disconnect from the network. MANET does not require any existing infrastructure whereas it starts functions in any place at any time. Due these reasons various malicious activities are created dynamically and it degrades the performance of the network. This paper focused on detecting and identifying malicious activities one who affects the data directly.  Such kind of malicious activity is blackhole attack where it destroys the data during transmission in a route. In order to detect and eliminated blackhole attack this paper focused on monitoring and investigating various functionalities of the network using a Multi Stage Security Model (MSSM). The MSSM is used for detecting and preventing blackhole attacks in MANET which involves investigating cross layer functionalities during data transmission. And it also investigates and analyzes the entire information that is available in the network. This proposed MSSM is simulated in Network Simulation-2 software and the results are verified and the performance is evaluated.
Implementation of various data encryption methods for medical information transmission
Authors: Neelima S , Brinda R
Published: July 2018

Encryption is the process of converting the data from readable format into unreadable format with help of any mathematical expression or sometimes with the help of key. On the other hand decryption is the reverse process of encryption with help of same key used at encryption or with the help of some other key. The paper presents the different methodology used for encryption and decryption. Several methods presented in the literature are reviewed. The methods- Rivest-Shamir-Adlemen algorithm, Data Encryption Standard, Advanced Encryption Standard and three different Secure Hash Algorithm are reviewed and implemented using various FPGA devices. The power consumption, delay and area are analyzed and compared. From the analyses it is been found that the performance of AES and SHA3 are better when compared to other algorithms. These algorithms provide high security when compared to rest of the methods.
Smooth Optimization Technique for Denoising Image
Authors: Suguna R , Meena K
Published: July 2018

Noise in images can be characterized as a random variation of brightness information. It can be a by-product of image capture that conceals the desired information. All digital images are subject to different types of noise. Noise is the result of errors during acquisition process which affects the original pixel values in the image. Noise can be introduced in several ways depending on how the image is created. This paper suggests a mathematical model for representing noise in the image and solves the model for denoising. A comparison of smooth optimization algorithm with Fourier transform is presented with test image.

Fenomenologia
Authors: Moryń Mariusz
Published: July 2018

Phenomenology was founded by Edmund Husserl and developed by the followers like Max Scheler. It is the most important philosophical system of the 20th Century. Phenomenology, in Husserl’s conception, is primarily concerned with the systematic reflection and analysis of the structures of consciousness and the phenomena that appear in acts of consciousness. In its basic form phenomenology is the method of describing of the reality devoid of any assumptions and in consequence the key concepts in Husserl’s theory are notion of the pure consciousness and theory of transcendental phenomenology. Phenomenology thus attempts to create conditions for the objective study of topics usually regarded as subjective that is: consciousness and the content of conscious experiences such as judgements, perceptions and emotions.

Dikaiosyne – sprawiedliwość. Genealogia pojęcia
Authors: Juchacz Piotr W.
Published: July 2018

The concept of justice takes a central position in practical philosophy from the birth of philosophical reflection in the ancient Greece to contemporary discussions in political, social, and moral philosophy. This article presents a genealogy and development of the Greek concept of dikaiosyne (δικαιοσύνη). It starts with the first poetical appearances of a term dike (δίκη) in Homer’s poetry, continues with the analysis through its more sophisticated application by Hesiod, and finally it reaches the pivotal philosophical transformations of dike into dikaiosyne in The Histories of Herodotus.

Analyzing available historical sources and comparing different regulations from Polish codices of honour, the duel of honour will be scrutinized in search of its aim, of its grist, of its role in the honourable conduct. The competences demanded from a gentleman by the honour codices will be reconstructed answering the question – is the duel of honour a demonstration of certain competences or just barretry?
Ogień w filozofii Heraklita
Authors: Makowski Piotr
Published: July 2018

The author sketches the most important aspects of Heraclitean theory of fire as the ‘principle’, ‘beginning’ or ‘origin’ (arché) of existing things. The presentation puts his concept of arché in the background of Heraclitean famous aphoristic dicta (‘everything flows’ – panta rhei, among others) and his theory of universal logos. Although the philosophy of Heraclitus is not very distinct from other theories by archaic philosophers of nature (Anaximander, Anaximenes, Thales, Parmenides, Empedocles), its specificity makes Heraclitus one of the most influential and inspiring figures of Ancient world.
Spór o uniwersalia
Authors: Jaroszewska Anna
Published: July 2018

The problem of universals has been taken over by the medieval philosophers through the commentators, especially by Porfiriusz. Medieval philosophers had united issues mentioned by Porfiriusz with response to Boecjusz, creating an alternative: “thing” or “ word”. The most staunch phase of the dispute took place in the XI and XII centuries around two positions: “a realistic” and “nominalistic”, there has been an attempt to reach a compromise by marginal discarding; then three concepts was developed: “conceptualism” (“sermonizm”), “moderate conceptual realism” or “set theory”.

Dziecięca ikonografia księżniczek Okresu Amarneńskiego
Authors: Kloska Maria Monika
Published: July 2018

This article explains the characteristic style of princesses representations in Amarna Period art. This high essential aspect (in literally way) shows full of love relations between family members from Akhetaten. Children iconography in ancient Egypt remained rather persistent, however, pictures showing Meritaten, Maketaten, Ankhesenpaaten, Neferneferuaten, Neferneferure and Setepenre stand alone not only by details, but also by scenes in which princesses have been presented. The royal daughters are often shown naked or in robes looking like delicate tied with sash in waist or under bust dress belonging to their mother Nefertiti. Though girls – regardless of age – have always been portrayed with the sidelock of youth. The reliefs representing Amarna princesses and their parents deviate significantly from fixed and formal style of iconography which is characteristic for periods before and after Akhenaten’s reigns. The girls have been shown not only in family scenes enjoying a good time  with their parents, but also accompanying the royal couple in scenes of tribute from Nubia and Syria, in the scenes of killing enemies of Egypt and in the heart-touching mourning scenes. The representations of the six daughters of Akhenaten and Nefertiti, besides being the symbol of the spouses’ fertility, also performed an important religious function – the girls together with their parents and the god Aten created the divine Ennead just like the model of the nine gods from Heliopolis. The reliefs showing Amarna family seem to present real feelings and emotions of the royal couple and their children, although it could have a propagandist character.

Published: July 2018

Despite a growing recognition of late Palaeolithic and Mesolithic settlement in recent years, the area of Pojezierze Łagowskie still represents one of less known regions of western Poland, both in terms of Old and Middle Stone Age settlement and reconstruction of of contemporary environmental conditions. The article provides results of technological, typological, functional analyses, as well as that of raw materials used in stone industry of Mesolithic communities occupying sites 13 and 16 in Wilenko. Majority of functional tools is characterised by use-wear traces, which should be interpreted as results of variability of meat, bone, antler, and leather processing activities or game hunting. In the article an attempt has been made to reconstruct environmental conditions, on the basis of the results of pollen analysis.

The latter touches upon the issue of the existing reality anddetermination to attain goals in the context of a contemporary Russian’s mentality,which is largely affected by Soviet thinking
Еврейское измерение Киева в „Кровавой шутке” Шолом-Алейхема
Authors: Bortnowski Antoni
Published: July 2018

Sholem Aleichem is one of the authors of modern Jewish literature in Yiddish, and most of his works are closely related to the realities of Eastern Europe. In his books the writer presents, among others, images of life of the Jewish community in pre- revolutionary Kiev. His novel, The Bloody Hoax, is particularly noteworthy in this case and it has become the main object of research in this paper. The story of the novel mostly takes place in an unnamed city, the prototype of which has become a historical Kiev. The Bloody Hoax, the plot of which is largely based on real events, shows the specificity of life of the Jewish community in the big city, and the problems its representative shave to face.
Stając się modlitwą. Trzy postaci, trzy głosy (tłum. B. Brzezińskiego)
Authors: Plekon Michael
Published: July 2018

The article Becoming what we pray: Three images, three voices by professor Michael Plekon presents three persons who were very important for Orthodox culture, spirituality and thought — saint Seraphim of Sarov, Mother Maria Skobtsova and Paul Evdokimov. Showing the most substantial facts from their life and activity the author exhibits the real transformation, metamorphosis of their personalities, hearts and consciousnesses under the action of practice of the Jesus' Prayer or the prayer of the heart. The main aim of the article is — one can suppose — to underline the role of the Jesus' Prayer in changing people who systematically practicing it in their life, and in giving them the power to go over the stereotypes, myths and customs, even religious. The heart of the matter is emphasizing — in positive meaning — the real close union between the prayer andthe life and the relationship with neighbour. Professor Plekon stresses that “the personaland interior aspects of this prayer are never separated from liturgical prayer and ourlives”. Christians believe in salvation and resurrection of Jesus Christ and they practice the Jesus Prayer, but this prayer formula is not only devoid of life meaning formula but it is the method of changing the whole human mentality, in each everyday circumstances concerning family, marriage, work, life in monastic community, doing shopping, reading books, watching TV programs, raising children, writing the scientific articles, being in different social and cultural situations, generally — it changes all, the vision of life and the universe.

Pengaruh Konvensi Hukum Laut Internasional Tahun 1982 Terhadap Wilayah Laut Indonesia
Authors: Darusman Yoyon Mulyana
Published: July 2018

Abstract.Indonesia is a country that has a wider sea area (two thirds) than the land area (one third). The land area of Indonesia consists of thousands of islands which include: inland waters, straits and bays which serve as a link between the existing islands. Determination of the Geneva convention in 1958-1960 concerning the law of the sea has not given satisfaction to the state of Indonesia in providing national security regarding the unintegrated national territory. This can be seen as a mistake in the decision of the Geneva convention of 1958-1960 on the Law of the International Sea, which has not guaranteed the protection of all marine areas, especially marine areas in inland waters. Therefore, the Indonesian government pioneered the 1957 Djuanda Declaration, followed by the struggle of Foreign Minister Mochtar Kusumaatmadja and Indonesian diplomats such as Hasyim Djalal to try to accommodate Indonesia's interests as an archipelagic state. In the end, the above struggles can be fulfilled in the provisions of the Third Law of the Sea Convention in 1982, recognizing that all marine areas including Indonesia's inland waters constitute an Indonesian territory (insight of the archipelago).Keywords: Law of the Sea 1958, Law of the Sea of 1982, Sea Area, Archipelago Insight Abstrak. Indonesia adalah negara yang memiliki wilayah laut lebih luas (dua pertiga) dari wilayah daratan (satu pertiga). Wilayah daratan Indonesia terdiri dari beribu-ribu pulau yang di dalamnya meliputi: perairan pedalaman, selat maupun teluk yang menjadi penghubung antar pulau-pulau yang ada. Penetapan konvensi Jenewa tahun 1958-1960 tentang hukum laut belum memberikan kepuasan kepada negara Indonesia dalam memberikan pengamanan secara nasional berkenaan dengan belum terintegrasinya wilayah nasional. Hal ini dapat dilihat salah keputusan konvensi Jenewa Tahun 1958-1960 tentang Hukum Laut Internasional belum memberikan jaminan perlindungan terhadap seluruh wilayah laut terutama wilayah laut di perairan pedalaman. Karena itu, pemerintah Indonesia yang pelopori dengan Deklarasi Djuanda 1957, dilanjutkan perjuangan Menteri Luar Negeri Mochtar Kusumaatmadja serta para Diplomat Indonesia seperti Hasyim Djalal berupaya agar kepentingan Indonesia sebagai negara kepulauan (archipelagic state) dapat diakomodir. Pada akhirnya perjuangan-perjuangan di atas dapat dipenuhi pada ketetapan Konvensi Hukum Laut Ke III tahun 1982 mengakui bahwa seluruh wilayah laut termasuk perairan pedalaman Indonesia merupakan suatu kesatuan wilayah Indonesia (wawasan nusantara).Kata Kunci: Hukum Laut 1958, Hukum Laut 1982, Wilayah Laut, Wawasan Nusantara.

Abstract:Every individual is certainly needing a peace and safety on their life. A terror or an intimidation need to be avoided, and becomes a government’s obligation to protect them. Terror is still occurred in various parts of the world including Indonesia, and a kind of organized crime. This crime is usually called by terrorism. A view which committing acts of violence and threat to create an atmosphere of terror or fear to the people extensively and cause victims spreadly, by snatching independence or loosing life and property, and causing a damage and destruction of life and property of another person. This crime also causes a disruption of national stability. So, the government has an obligation to eradicate and eliminate this criminal group. Unfortunately, terrorism is identifically referred to a specific Islamic group. Whereas Islam is never taught any violence through this humanity, but a religion which taught to keep and protect life. This paper is aim to analyze is terrorism belonging to rebellion as a kind of criminal, or a basic criminal. By using statute approach and transendental approach, the writer makes serious effort to find a conclusion of this problem.Keywords: Rebellion, Terrorism, Sovereign GovernmentAbstrak: Setiap orang pasti menginginkan kedamaian dan keamanan dalam hidupnya. Teror ataupun intimidasi merupakan hal yang harus dihindari, dan menjadi kewajiban negara untuk melindunginya. Terjadinya tindakan kejahatan teror masih terjadi di berbagai belahan dunia termasuk Indonesia, dan merupakan bentuk kejahatan terorganisir. Kejahatan ini biasa disebut dengan terorisme. Sebuah paham yang melakukan tindakan kekerasan dan ancaman guna menimbulkan suasana teror atau rasa takut terhadap orang secara meluas dan menimbulkan korban yang bersifat masal, dilakukan dengan cara merampas kemerdekaan atau hilangnya nyawa dan harta benda orang lain, serta mengakibatkan kerusakan dan kehancuran terhadap nyawa dan harta benda orang lain. Kejahatan ini mengakibatkan gangguan stabilitas nasional. Sehingga pemerintah yang berdaulat berkewajiban membasmi dan menumpas tuntas kelompok pelaku kejahatan ini. Mirisnya, kejahatan terorisme ini kerap diindentikkan kepada kelompok Islam tertentu. Padahal Islam tidak mengajarkan kejahatan terhadap kemanusiaan ini, tetapi agama yang menjaga dan melindungi kehidupan. Penelitian ini mencoba menganalisis apakah terorisme termasuk ke dalam perbuatan kejahatan pemberontakan atau hanya kriminal biasa. Dengan melakukan pendekatan hukum (statute approach) dan pendekatan transendental akhirnya penulis berupaya mencari titik akhir sebagai hasil kesimpulan dari permasalahan ini.  Kata Kunci: Pemberontakan, Terorisme, Pemerintahan Berdaulat
De Outro Modo Que Ser: algumas observações quanto à tradução portuguesa de Autrement qu'être ou au-delà de l'essence
Authors: Rodrigues Tiago Dos Santos
Published: July 2018

O presente artigo apresenta o cotejo realizado entre a obra original do filósofo lituano-francês Emmanuel Levinas, Autrement qu’être ou au-delà de l’essence, e sua versão em língua portuguesa, De outro modo que ser ou para lá da essência, primeira versão da obra no idioma de Camões. Esse texto apresenta as limitações da presente tradução, seja por trechos não traduzidos como de escolhas de tradução equivocadas. O texto original é sem dúvida deveras hermético, Levinas escreveu sua obra procurando uma linguagem própria, com uma linguagem que, na medida do possível, não estivesse contaminada pelo ser, pela ontologia. Para isso expressou-se do modo mais concreto possível sem que com isso sua expressão perde-se em rigor filosófico. A tradução, sem justificativa, desfez esse trabalho empreendido pelo autor que de modo algum é mero estilo literário, mas que constitui também o próprio conteúdo da obra.
O Paradoxo do Prefácio Generalizado
Authors: Rodrigues Lucas Roisenberg
Published: July 2018

O paradoxo do prefácio é um presumido contra-exemplo à tese de que a consistência é uma condição necessária da racionalidade ou justificação. O artigo visa desenvolver a ideia, na esteira de uma sugestão Earl Conee (2009), de que as presumidas crenças inconsistentes e racionais podem ser formadas a partir de fontes evidenciais radicalmente diferentes. A execução de tal tarefa está dividida em quatro partes. Na primeira delas, eu apresento sumariamente o paradoxo propriamente dito. Logo em seguida, eu apresento os outros exemplos: o evento, viagem de avião, encontro de colegas e memória parcial. Após isto, tento identificar a estrutura subjacente aos exemplos, e sugiro que a teoria da anulabilidade é uma ferramenta útil para pensar os contraexemplos. Por fim, ofereço uma análise diacrônica de um dos exemplos e tento reforçar a dificuldade de encontrar uma solução satisfatória para o problema.
Necessariamente, Provavelmente não sou um Zumbi
Authors: Dantas Danilo Fraga
Published: July 2018

O argumento zumbi negativo parte das premissas de que p ∧ ¬q é idealmente negativamente concebível, de que tudo que é idealmente negativamente concebível é possível e de que o fisicalismo é incompatível com a possibilidade de p ∧ ¬q para concluir que o fisicalismo é falso. No argumento, p é a conjunção das verdades e leis físicas fundamentais e q é uma verdade fenomenal qualquer. Uma sentença φ é idealmente negativamente concebível se e somente se um raciocinador ideal não acredita que ¬φ em reflexão a priori. Uma versão da tese da escrutabilidade pressuposta pelo argumento afirma que, para todo φ que sobrevém a p, o raciocinador ideal acredita que p → φ em reflexão a priori. Nesse artigo, argumento que, dado interpretações relevantes da noção de probabilidade, o raciocinador ideal acredita verdadeiramente, para todo φ, que p → pr(φ) = x em reflexão a priori. Mas então, dependendo do valor de pr(q) e das correlações entre q e outras sentenças, o raciocinador ideal também acredita (provavelmente, verdadeiramente) que p → q em reflexão a priori. Para alguns qs relevantes, p ∧ ¬q não é idealmente negativamente concebível e o argumento zumbi tem uma premissa falsa. A escolha de um q adequado dependeria de informação empírica, o que faria o argumento zumbi não ser nem conclusivo, nem a priori.
História da violência e sociedade brasileira
Authors: Bernaski Jóice , Sochodolak Helio
Published: July 2018

Desenvolvemos, no presente artigo, a hipótese de que a violência humana é histórica. Ela é um elemento que constrói e transforma as estruturas, as conjunturas e os cotidianos de distintas formas em várias temporalidades. Nesta perspectiva, abordaremos as características que a violência se circunscreveu em alguns períodos históricos, como nas sociedades Antigas, de fins da Idade Média, Antigo Regime, Modernidade e Pós-Modernidade. No Brasil, a História foi marcada pelo constante uso da violência, tendo suas origens com o processo de colonização, primeiramente, na violenta política de subjugamento do indígena subsidiado pela ideologia da guerra justa, das jurisdições e dos aldeamentos. Com a prática da escravidão ocorrida durante séculos, que suprimiu a vida humana de maneira selvagem, e ainda de forma mais suave, com a política de subterfúgio empregada ao imigrante europeu, submetendo-o à escravidão simbólica. Essas práticas colonizatórias construíram um Brasil pautado na concentração de riquezas refletidas na desigualdade social que se proliferou no cotidiano, marcada, também, pelo uso constante da violência. Também abordaremos como os processos criminais são fontes profícuas para o entendimento da violência processada no Brasil. Essas discussões forçam a tese de que a violência é intrínseca à vida social, seja ela caracterizada de forma física ou simbólica.

No dia 6 de novembro de 2015 é lançado o jogo eletrônico Call of Duty Black Ops 3, tendo como plataformas o Playstation 4 e 3, Xbox One e 360 e Windows, sendo produzido e publicado por Treyarch e Activision, respectivamente. A narrativa da obra envolve um futuro distante, no ano de 2065, no qual a superpopulação alcança níveis cada vez mais insustentáveis; o meio ambiente torna-se notavelmente mais extremo; conflitos mundiais espalham-se e tornam-se corriqueiros e, principalmente, a tecnologia bélica funde-se ao ser humano. Próteses e implantes neurais garantem soldados mais e mais eficientes. Entretanto, uma Inteligência Artificial torna ciente de si e consegue infectar a mente de diversos personagens. Em suma, o jogo apresenta-se como um futuro soturno, conflituoso e profundamente mais agravado que o nosso presente. Partindo de tal premissa, buscaremos analisar a construção de futuro que o jogo realiza através de sua narrativa, uma narrativa que constrói, produz significados e detém de um efeito alegórico e moralizante com aquilo que busca representar (ANKERSMIT, 2010; WHITE, 1990). Tal futuro, tal horizonte de expectativa, pode nos oferecer diversas reflexões acerca do nosso próprio tempo histórico (KOSELLECK, 2006), um tempo de possível hipervalorização do presente e dificuldades de imaginar um futuro melhor (HARTOG, 2014).

Effects of Financial Deepening on Saving Mobilization: Evidence from African Countries
Authors: Twerefou Daniel Kwabena , Ayimadu Baafi Yaw
Published: July 2018

Purpose:The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of financial deepening proxied by Broad Money Supply as a percent of Gross Domestic Product and Domestic Credit to Private Sector as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product on savings proxied by Gross Domestic Savings as a percent of Gross Domestic Product in Africa over the period 1998 – 2015 

Design/methodology/approach: The study uses panel data of forty-two (42) countries in Africa over the period 1998 – 2015 and the system generalized method of moments dynamic panel estimation framework.

Findings: The paper finds an insignificantly positive relationship between Broad money supply and Gross Domestic Savings in Africa. However, the impact of Domestic Credit to Private Sector was negative and significant. This results indicate that financial deepening has not stimulated domestic resource mobilization in Africa.  However, growth in per capita income had a significantly positive impact on Gross Domestic Savings which is consistent with the life cycle theory, increase in real interest rate negatively affected Gross Domestic Savings while increase in age dependency reduced Gross Domestic Savings. 

Practical implications: Policies should focus on deepening the financial sector since it has the tendency to impact positively on savings. Such polices  should center on extending financial services to the rural areas through the provision of infrastructure such as roads, electricity as well as the development of innovative financial instruments that will attract the large informal sector.  Reducing the fragmented nature of the market and the high transaction costs as well as balancing the dominance of the banking sector will help improve efficiency of the sector and consequently, its ability to mobilize resources. Pursuing growth-enhancing policies that focus on value addition to raw materials and the adoption of technology to ensue efficiency in production could result in higher productivity and consequently savings. Efforts should also focus on reducing interest rates since many Africans are net borrowers and thus increase in interest rate will increase the cost of borrowing which will have adverse impacts on savings.

Originality/value: The paper offers significant value in shaping and improving the financial sector in Africa with the view to enhancing savings.

EMPREENDEDORISMO EM PORTUGAL DE IMIGRANTES DE PAÍSES FORA DA UNIÃO EUROPEIA
Authors: Paço Suzy Rodrigues , Ramos Maria Conceição Pereira
Published: July 2018

O crescimento positivo do empreendedorismo imigrante na Europa e o reconhecimento da sua capacidade de criar novos postos de trabalho aumentaram a importância atribuída a esta temática a nível internacional. No entanto, em Portugal, pela escassez e dispersão de dados, a investigação ainda é limitada, importando caracterizar o empreendedorismo imigrante neste país, através da distinção por género, idade, nacionalidade, educação e atividades, e determinar qual o seu contributo. Assim, através de entrevistas semiestruturadas, foi possível obter depoimentos de imigrantes provenientes do Brasil, China, Bangladesh, Ucrânia, Rússia e Índia. Em suma, os empreendedores entrevistados contribuem positivamente em Portugal, criando emprego e transmitindo novos conhecimentos e competências. No que respeita à sua caracterização, os resultados revelaram uma maior presença masculina, empreendedores com idade acima dos 40 anos, de nacionalidade essencialmente brasileira, com qualificações média/alta e com investimentos sobretudo nos setores do retalho e prestação de serviços. Os entrevistados evidenciaram que a burocracia e a língua do país de acolhimento são algumas das dificuldades sentidas na concretização do seu empreendimento e que o envolvimento com associações empresariais e de imigrantes é reduzido.
A EDUCAÇÃO DE ADULTOS EM PORTUGAL E OS TRAÇOS DA POLÍTICA GLOBAL EM TEMPOS DE AUSTERIDADE
Authors: Barros Rosanna
Published: July 2018

O artigo reflete acerca das condições conjunturais e influências supranacionais que permitiram a emergência de uma nova educação e formação de adultos (EFA) em Portugal. Discute-se as carateristicas e lógicas subjacentes aos dois Programas políticos nacionais que conformam a agenda deste sector no início do século XXI, nomeadamente: o i) Programa de Ação S@ber+: Programa para o Desenvolvimento e Expansão da Educação e Formação de Adultos, 1999-2006; e o ii) Programa (ou Iniciativa) Novas Oportunidades, 2006-2012. Em ambos os enquadramentos políticos do sector a aprendizagem experiencial dos adultos é valorizada, o que representou uma sólida ancoragem do sistema EFA na lógica do reconhecimento de adquiridos experiencias. O que no caso de Portugal tem vindo a representar um passo em frente em termos de justiça social, dado que uma muito significativa parcela da população adulta nacional é pouco escolarizada, porém é, para além disso, subcertificada face ao seu ‘saber de experiencia feito’ a que se refere Paulo Freire. Tecem-se também neste texto algumas considerações críticas acerca do impacto que o paradigma hegemónico global da política pública para as estatisticas comporta para o desenvolvimento da EFA, cuja essência humanista não se compatibiliza com a formação instrumental de recusros humanos. Por fim, problematiza-se as evoluções mais recentes da nova governação global neoliberal criadora e impositora de austeridades várias a partir do seu impacto na EFA portuguesa.
Large-diameter piles in chalk – part 1, ground investigation

Published: July 2018

Deep bored piled foundations were planned to support a new 279 m tall tower in east London. The piles were founded in chalk, and therefore detailed stratigraphical logging of the chalk strata was carried out using known marker bands such as flints bands and marl seams. This helped to develop a ground model, including the separation of the various chalk formations into their respective beds. Other investigation methods were employed to assist in developing the chalk stratigraphy, including downhole geophysical techniques, fluid temperature, fluid flow, resistivity, density, caliper and natural gamma. Other downhole tools, such as downhole optical imaging, were also used. Critical to the design of the pile was understanding the behaviour of the bentonite support fluid when used in chalk. Owing to concerns regarding the possible interaction of the bentonite with the chalk, bespoke laboratory tests were carried out on core samples using two commonly used bentonite types. The tests were carried out at two bentonite concentrations with chalk samples from three depths. Control samples were also tested without chalk. This paper presents the detailed investigation of the chalk and its interaction with the bentonite carried out prior to the commencement of the pile design.
