Human Capital of Russian Blue Collars: State, Changes over Time, Factors
Authors: Tihonova Natal'ya , Karavay Anastasiya , Latova Nataliya
Published: January 2020

The common indicators of human capital of Russian blue collars are typical for the post-Soviet countries, but are highly dispersed by age groups, industries, and types of settlement. Still, these indicators are very low for 75% of Russian blue collars, while the rest have quite high-quality human capital and constitute a talent pool for a tech breakthrough in the national economy. The core drawbacks in the human capital of Russian blue collars from both groups are the lack of professional education in the chosen area and poor inclusion in the system of further learning. These disadvantages are especially evident for blue collars in developed countries.

The quality of human capital of Russian blue collars had gradually improved until the second half of the 2000s. However later, workers were less and less likely to choose a job corresponding to their major, and less often to obtain it. On the other hand, Russians with professional education were less likely to choose blue-collar jobs. The barriers to better quality of human capital were no goals among workers, especially those with blue-collar family traditions, for upskilling, as well as a limited number of jobs promising high qualifications. The poor quality of human capital among most blue collars and their unwillingness to improve their skills are, in these conditions, a rational response to the situation in hand.

Authors: Haritonova Oksana , Kudryashova Irina , Henkin Sergey , Zaharova Evgeniya , Blohina Alena
Published: January 2020

In the course of the project, the authors have studied ample new latest Russian and international scientific literature on split societies; today’s status of studies of post-conflict settlement of split societies, ways of political control of split societies in the context of authoritarianism and democracy, territorial organization of split societies (federalization, regionalization). The research explores the empirical experience of solving the problems of split societies in a comparative historical perspective, reviews institutional methods for resolving and preventing inter-segment conflicts. It compares processes of state and nation-building in the split conflict and post-conflict societies, examines separatist ethnic conflicts and cases of declaration of independence, secession and the emergence of de facto statehood, as well as the impact of these processes on the stability of political regimes and post-conflict institutiona­lization. The authors also focus on the challenges of globalization (migration, ethnic and religious terrorism) and the emergence of new foreign-cultural segments caused by migration in the old democracies (France, Spain and Germany).
Main Stages in the Formation of the Theory of Architecture of the Spanish Renaissance (Based on Treatises of the 16th–17th centuries)
Authors: Sim Nadezhda , Stogova Galina
Published: January 2020

The Spanish treatises of the 16th — early 17th century on the theory of architecture are reviewed in the context of design evolution, stylistic features of text and visual material, sources of theoretical thought of predecessors that influenced the creative rethinking of architecture, generation of new original ideas and the determination of their place in the evolution of the architectural views of the Renaissance as a whole. The appeal to antiquity as a treasury of humanistic values was typical for the Spanish culture of the 16th century. The Spanish theorists interpreted the focus on the classical tradition in architecture as the embodiment of the ideas of Christian architecture, the source of which was the theoretical legacy of the Italian Renaissance.

The main stages in the formation of the theory of architecture of the Spanish Renaissance are reflected in the works of Diego de Sagredo “The Medidas del Romano” (1526), Juan de Arfe “Measurements for architecture and sculpture” (1564), Fray Lorenzo de san Nicolás “Art use of architecture” (1639). The authors of the treatises tell about the benefits and the need for study, use the construction and artistic experience of antiquity, and provide a didactic overview of the most significant theoretical works of their predecessors with practical tips for building professional skills. In general, the Vitruvian style as the structural basis of classicism was very popular in Spain during Renaissance, and its components serve as the fundamental method of practical use at each stage of the development of architecture.
Emotional and psychological well-being of a Person in Difficult Life Situations
Authors: Golovey Larisa , Manukyan Viktoriya , Troshihina Evgeniya , Aleksandrova Ol'ga , Rykman Lyudmila
Published: January 2020

The paper explores the construct of emotional and mental well-being, a blend of personal, cognitive-evaluative and emotional features of the positive functioning of a human being. The authors study the role of emotional and mental well-being in the perception of difficult life situations: job loss, children’s life-threating disease, as well as in standard life situations. They use a set of methods to evaluate different aspects of emotional and mental well-being, including K. Riff’s methodology, “Satisfaction with life scale” by E. Diener, self-development orientation tests, a questionnaire of satisfaction with various life aspects, the methodology “Assessment of mental activation, interest, emotional tone, tension and comfort” (N.A. Kurgansky, T.A. Nemchin), integrative test of anxiety (A.P. Bizyuk, L.I. Wasserman, B.V. Iovlev), M. Fordis scale of happiness, “Semantic differential of life situation”, etc. The sample included 214 people aged 24–57 (average age: 37 years old), including 38 unemployed, 52 women with a severely ill child being treated in a hospice. The study revealed significant differences in the self-perception of life situations by people in objectively different situations. It shows the effect of emotional and mental well-being on the self-perception of the situation and the change in its role in different situations. In difficult and poorly controlled situations (child’s severe illness), emotional and mental well-being can change both downwards and upwards. In these situations, high emotional and mental well-being is an internal resource that allows more fully and unbiasedly perceiving the negative and positive aspects of the situation, which can contribute to its fruitful overcoming. In a standard life situation, high emotional and mental well-being with a more negative perception of the situation constitutes a development resource that prompts a person to life changes.
Social media use and employee innovative performance: Work engagement as a mediator
Authors: Cheng Tan , Zhang Pan , Wen Yuping , Wang Liyin
Published: January 2020

We examined the impact of social media use on employee innovative performance, and the psychological mechanism underlying this relationship. Our hypothesis was that social media use would have a positive influence on employee innovative performance and that work engagement would act
as a mediator in this relationship. We employed structural equation modeling to investigate this mediating role with 298 employees of a large enterprise in China. Results of a time-lagged survey showed that both social media use and work engagement were significantly correlated with innovative
performance, and work engagement partially mediated the social media use–innovative performance relationship. These findings shed light on how social media use affects employee innovative performance. Theoretical and practical implications and directions for future research are discussed.
Acoustic flow meter performance assurance outside the limits of measurement
Authors: Lapin Mikhail V. , Grinin Andrey O. , Shkarin Kirill V. , Soury Kambiz
Published: January 2020

Article is dedicated to liquid flow measuring by acoustic flow meters. Manufacturers establish the allowable measurement range (nominal), within which the measurement error is minimal, that’s why their measuring span is limited, and the measurement error when operating in off-design modes is unacceptable. The basic task of this research is to expand the range of flow measurements of acoustic liquid meters. V.A. Fafurin and M.K. Galeev in their work “Calculation of the correction coefficient of the ultrasonic flow meter” have already considered the problem of measuring the flow rate of acoustic devices. In their study was presented a method for calculating the correction coefficient, which depended on the flow regime in the pipe. But this technology is applicable for change-less flow regime pipes. In this article, the authors propose to use a coefficient that has a functional dependence on the magnitude of the flow, obtained empirically. The article describes the stages of the study: the method of calibration of the device, methods of analysis and processing of verification data by PC, the algorithm of measurement system implementation in power engineering equipment, system performance check. The system presented in the article allows to expand the range. The proposed model will be useful for enterprises.
Neuralgia del trigémino: aspectos clínicos y terapéuticos
Authors: Marín-Medina Daniel S. , Gámez-Cárdenas Manuela
Published: January 2020

INTRODUCCIÓN:
La neuralgia del trigémino produce una gran limitación en la calidad de vida de los pacientes que sufren esta condición. Es necesario un adecuado conocimiento de sus características clínicas para diferenciarla de otras causas de dolor facial que son más frecuentes y evitar tratamientos innecesarios e irreversibles como las extracciones dentales.

OBJETIVO:
describir los aspectos más importantes en el diagnóstico y tratamiento de los pacientes con neuralgia del trigémino.

METODOLOGÍA:
Revisión narrativa.

DESARROLLO:
La neuralgia del trigémino se caracteriza por presentar episodios recurrentes de dolor facial unilateral, severo, breve y penetrante que sigue la distribución del nervio trigémino. Existe una forma clásica en la que se reconoce contacto vascular sobre el nervio trigémino, una forma idiopática sin etiología conocida y una forma secundaria debido a condiciones como la esclerosis múltiple, tumores, malformaciones arteriovenosas, entre otras. El diagnóstico se basa principalmente en las características clínicas, aunque la resonancia magnética es una ayuda en casos seleccionados. La carbamazepina y la oxcarbazepina son la primera línea del tratamiento, mientras que otros medicamentos con menor nivel de evidencia hacen parte de la segunda línea de tratamiento. Para los casos refractarios existen alternativas quirúrgicas, entras las que se encuentra la descompresión microvascular, la rizotomía percutánea por radiofrecuencia, la rizotomía percutánea con glicerol, la compresión percutánea con balón y la radiocirugía estereotáxica.

CONCLUSIONES:
El abordaje de la neuralgia del trigémino requiere conocer sus características clínicas y elegir el tratamiento más adecuado para el paciente mediante un trabajo multidisciplinario.
Comida, canto e dança: a circulação de dons na festa do gambá para São Benedito
Authors: Figueiredo Vanessa Lima Brasil de , Carvalho Luciana Gonçalves de
Published: January 2020

Este ensaio apresenta uma seleção de imagens produzidas na festividade de São Benedito, em Almeirim/PA, em 2017. A ocasião era a da gravação de um documentário etnográfico sobre a celebração, e algo que chamou atenção foi a centralidade da comida nos ritos que a compõem. Durante dez dias seguidos de festa, observou-se uma sequência de dádivas ritualmente ofertadas e retribuídas no contexto de almoços e jantares promovidos para os foliões de São Benedito por diversos anfitriões. Em troca, os foliões executam músicas genericamente conhecidas como gambá, as quais são acompanhadas por dançarinos e dançarinas vinculadas ao grupo. A cena se repete, invariavelmente, a cada refeição, ao longo de toda a festa, de modo que comida, canto e dança se tornam dons em intensa circulação.
Comida, Agência e Imitação: Uma Etnografia das Festividades entre Imigrantes Brasileiros na Grande Boston
Authors: Kraieski de Assuncao Viviane
Published: January 2020

Resumo: A alimentação pode ser entendida como uma importante via de leitura de processos socioculturais. Com esta perspectiva, realizei uma etnografia com imigrantes brasileiros na Grande Boston, buscando compreender as mudanças e continuidades em suas práticas alimentares após a migração. Neste artigo, concentro-me nos relatos etnográficos dos momentos de festividade, que, embora não sejam cotidianos, são recorrentes e marcam as experiências migratórias dos sujeitos da pesquisa. Busco compreender as práticas alimentares destes eventos por meio dos conceitos de agência (Gell, 1998) e mímesis (Taussig, 1993), assumindo, deste modo, o protagonismo da comida nestes momentos. A comida, assim, constitui-se um elemento ativo das festas, que evoca sentimentos e memórias por meio de sua sensorialidade, e contribui para tornar presente e entrar em contato com o outro. Além disso, são utilizados outros aportes teóricos para compreender as variadas formas como a comensalidade está estritamente relacionada aos vínculos sociais entre os sujeitos. Palavras-chaves: Comida. Imigrantes brasileiros. Agência. Mímesis. Festas.  Abstract:Food can be understood as an important way of reading sociocultural processes. With this perspective, I conducted an ethnography with Brazilian immigrants in Greater Boston, seeking to understand the changes and continuities in their eating practices after migration. In this article, I focus on the ethnographic accounts of the moments of festivity, which, although not daily, are recurrent and mark the migratory experiences of the research subjects. I seek to understand the eating practices of these events through the concepts of agency (Gell, 1998) and mimesis (Taussig, 1993), thus assuming the role of food in these moments. Food, thus, is an active element of the holidays, which evokes feelings and memories through its sensoriality, and contributes to make present and be in contact with the other. In addition, other theoretical contributions are used to understand the varied ways in which commensality is strictly related to social bonds between the subjects. Keywords: Food.

A AMBIGUIDADE FRENTE ÀS COLÔNIAS AFRICANAS DE PORTUGAL (1953-1985): ASPECTOS DEFINIDORES DA POLÍTICA AFRICANA DO BRASIL
Authors: Rizzi Kamilla Raquel , Bueno Patrick
Published: January 2020

O objetivo do artigo é analisar a ambiguidade entre o discurso político e a prática externa brasileira frente às colônias portuguesas no período entre o Tratado de Amizade e Consulta com Portugal, passando pela Política Externa Independente (PEI) e o Regime Militar (período total de 1953 a 1985). Metodologicamente, a pesquisa utiliza a abordagem quanti-qualitativa aplicando o método hipotético-dedutivo, ao passo que se classifica como descritivo-explicativa quanto aos objetivos. Em relação aos procedimentos, utilizou-se a revisão bibliográfica, a análise documental de fontes primárias, secundárias e de imprensa. Identifica-se, como questão geradora, que o apoio brasileiro ao colonialismo português estabeleceu um bloqueio inicial para consolidar sua política africana, que vai se formar progressivamente à medida em que a pauta africana aumenta na agenda política e comercial do Brasil na década de 1970.

Authors: Okoli Al-Chukwuma , Ugwu Anthony Chinedu
Published: January 2020

Este estudo explora o fenômeno do banditismo rural na região noroeste da Nigéria, tendo como pano de fundo sua crescente incidência nos últimos anos. Por meio de uma análise qualitativa dos dados secundários, auxiliada pela Teoria das Atividades de Rotina (RAT, em inglês), o estudo postula que o banditismo rural no noroeste da Nigéria prospera dentro de um contexto sócio-existencial caracterizado por déficits de governança, o que criou um pretexto permanente para oportunismo criminal e impunidade. O estudo identifica as fronteiras mal governadas, o interior e as florestas, bem como os setores de mineração, transumância e milícias mal regulamentados na região, como os fatores críticos do flagelo do banditismo rural. Com referência às incidências de incursões em vilarejos, assaltos a rodovias, seqüestros e roubo de gado, o estudo situa a ameaça palpável do banditismo rural na área focal, observando que a mitigação do flagelo requer uma abordagem sistemática capaz de desvitalizar a gama de fatores sócio-existenciais que subjazem e precipitam isso.

Comportamiento cíclico en las importaciones y exportaciones cubanas: un análisis desde el dominio de las frecuencias.
Authors: Ramírez Stout Orlando , Quiñones Chang Nancy
Published: January 2020

El propósito de este trabajo es estudiar las periodicidades o ciclos detectables en las series de las importaciones y exportaciones cubanas, haciendo uso del análisis espectral. En las últimas dos décadas, la economía cubana ha experimentado cambios como la inserción del sector privado y la inversión extranjera. Por lo tanto, es de interés conocer el comportamiento recurrente de la actividad económica en el corto plazo. La idea de identificar ciclos detectables en lugar de realizar un estudio completo de los ciclos económicos de la actividad se fundamenta en que las series disponibles no son muy extensas y un análisis de periodicidades de largo período requiere muestras estadísticas grandes. El objetivo planteado aquí es mucho más modesto. Se requiere identificar movimientos particularmente en períodos cortos y obtener información precisa sobre tales periodicidades.
Best city to invest in: European Cities Quality Index
Authors: Fernandez-Crehuet Jose Maria , Rosales-Salas Jorge , Avilés Rodrigo
Published: January 2020

In this paper, we propose an index to measure the quality of the most important European cities. Using collected data from 66 cities belonging to the 28 countries within the European Union and applying the principal components analysis method, we construct the European Cities Quality Index (ECQI) as a combination of eight dimensions: (1) Public health, (2) Education, (3) Employment and incomes, (4) Environment, (5) Gender equality, (6) Leisure and entertainment, (7) Housing and safety and (8) Transport and mobility, that are in turn made up of 40 distinct variables. We find that London, Aarhus, and Berlin are the cities with the highest scores in the index, with northern European cities performing the best. At the other end of the spectrum, Sofia, Plovdiv, and Bucharest, with severe deficiencies in every dimension, scored worst on the study. The comparisons with the Sustainable Cities Index (Arcadis), the Global Power City Index (Institute for Urban Strategies), Cities in Motion (IESE), the Cities Prosperity Index (UN), and Dynamic Cities (Savills) help us understand the potential use of this new index and its purpose as a tool for assessing public policy. The ECQI could be used to assist public policies designed to improve perception in regions where it is needed.

Published: January 2020

Risk plays a significant role in input use decisions and production of output in agricultural production. Understanding farmer risk attitudes and their responses to risk is significant in designing effective intervention programmes. Few studies have tried to identify how the introduction of a livestock programme has tended to influence farmer risk profile. The objective of the study was to highlight the determinants of risk behaviour in participants of a livestock development programme. The study was carried out in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) Province of South Africa, utilising a purposive sample of 164 respondents who are part of the Kaonafatso Yadikgomo (KYD) Scheme. The cross-sectional survey collected data pertaining to the risk attitudes of the livestock farmers from an attitudinal scale as well as socio-economic and farm biophysical characteristics. Descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression were used to analyse the data. The results show that the livestock farmers were risk loving, with the risk attitude being influenced by the age of household head, monthly household income and experience in rearing cattle at the ð‘ < 0.1 level. Furthermore, the source of income, herd size, reason for slaughtering cattle distance to the nearest water source and access to a dip tank had significant influence of attitude towards risk at the ð‘ < 0.05 level. The study concludes that being part of a livestock development programme tends inflto uence the risk attitudes of the participants as the determinants were against a priori expectations.
Small-Scale Agriculture as a Panacea in Enhancing South African Rural Economies
Authors: Mbatha Mfaniseni Wiseman , Masuku Mfundo Mandla
Published: January 2020

The small-scale agricultural sector is considered as an indispensable role player in improving the South African rural economies by means of enhancing sustainable rural livelihoods. This paper critically assesses the contribution of small-scale agriculture in enhancing the South African rural economies. The South African Government have numerous agricultural interventions as an approach to improving rural livelihoods. Despite various policies and interventions that have been in place to ensure that small-scale agriculture improves rural economies; there is still a dearth of research in understanding small-scale agriculture dynamics that affect rural economies. Some of the essential aspects of the findings reveal that rural communities in South Africa regard small-scale agriculture as a source of income generation and enhancing food security. These findings highlight the negative effects on the South African small-scale agriculture suffering from insufficient productivity, infertility of soil, insufficient water and climate change. The poor access to markets and inadequate financial support services were identified as the major constraints that hinder small-scale agriculture to contribute to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and rural economic development. The small-scale agricultural sector should come up with self-sufficient interventions to avoid dependence on the Government and other stakeholders.
Financial Sector Liberalization and Financial Instability: Case of Selected Southern African Development Community Member Countries
Authors: Cele Nolungelo , FM Kapingura
Published: January 2020

The importance of financial liberalization is well documented in the literature. However, there has been an emergency of studies, which indicate that this can be another channel through which financial instability is generated in the domestic economy. Utilising data from four SADC countries, the empirical findings show that financial reforms are positively related to financial instability in almost all the specifications. The empirical results further revealed that financial instability intensifies in the face of a financial crisis. The result suggests that financial liberalization can therefore be another source of financial instability in the region. The empirical results imply that though policymakers should liberalise the financial system, policies aimed at maintaining financial stability should also be promoted.

Authors: Masela Zandile , Mushunje Abbyssinia , Ngarava Saul , Taruvinga Amon , Tatsvarei Simbarashe
Published: January 2020

The objective of the study was to identify the extent of benefits and their determinants to communities surrounding the Qamata Irrigation Scheme (QIS) in the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. The study used a quantitative based cross-sectional survey of 197 households within a radius of 20 km from the QIS. Multiple sampling methods were utilized where the villages were randomly and the households conveniently selected. A semi-structured pre-coded questionnaire was utilized to collect the data which was analyzed using descriptive statistics and multinomial logit regression. The study identified 14 discriminant benefits ranging from job opportunities, income increment food diversification to share cropping. Sixty-two percent of the households identified less than 5 benefits, whilst 27% and 11% identified 6-10 and 11-14 benefits respectively. Determinants of a surrounding household to attain benefits were significantly influenced by the distance from the scheme, the main source of income and gender of household head (P<0.01); marital and employment status (P<0.05); and access to farm land (P<0.1). The study concludes that the level of benefit diffused to surrounding households is based on socio-economic factors. The study recommends conscientization of surrounding communities on the peripheral benefits accrued from the proximity to the QIS, achievable through awareness initiatives.
Success Factors for Creating Spin-Out Companies by South African Publicly Financed Research and Development Institutions: A Resource-Based View Perspective
Authors: Langa P , Edoun E.I , Naidoo V.
Published: January 2020

Technology commercialisation using spin-out companies has shown to be a viable option by publicly financed research and development (R&D) institutions internationally. In South Africa (SA) this trend of spin-out company creation for technology commercialisation is anticipated to be on the rise since the inception of the Intellectual Property Rights from Publicly Financed Research and Development Act number 51 of 2008 (IPR-PFRD Act). This study aimed at trying to understand the factors that influence the successful creation of spin-out companies by SA publicly financed R&D institutions, utilising the RBV as the main theoretical framework. A survey questionnaire was distributed using a purposive sample approach to 49 key individuals (technology transfer professionals) who have been involved in spin-out creation in the past and the response was received from 17 respondents. A mixed methods research methodology was utilised and the data was presented using descriptive statistics and narration. The results of the data indicate a similar pattern to international trends and in some instances unique resource combinations that are relevant to SA.
Dual Process Difference in Families Regarding Home Buying Decision
Authors: Anastasia Njo , Narsa  I Made
Published: January 2020

The system of thought between rational systems and experience systems is inherent in each individual and produces different decisions. Thinking using logic tends to be used by almost every individual, but cognitive limitations make the individual simplify complex thinking to make practical decisions. This study aims to examine more in dual process on decision home buyers according to dual motives based on demographics and life cycle. Data collection was done by distributing questionnaires to selective home buyers of 235 buyers. Survey instruments include demographic and family life cycle variables. The dual process measurements using Rational-Experiential Inventory (REI-40) are designed to test individual preferences for two decision making, such as cognitive styles (rationality) and intuition (experience) using Likert scales. The results show that dual process cannot be distinguished based on dual motives. However, demographic variables such as gender, age, education, and family life cycle showed the difference in the dual process.
The Factors of Residentsâ€™ Support for Sustainable Tourism Development
Authors: Abedtalas Musallam , Tobrak Lokman , Sercek SadÄ±k
Published: January 2020

In this paper we examined the factors of residentsâ€™ support for sustainable tourism development in Mardin city-Turkey, in the context of gender as social structure. We found that people are sensitive about positive and negative effects of tourism, in association with society attachment and involvement, with bigger role for the later. And the perceptions of positive effects reduce their evaluation of the negative effects. Also we found that women are less active in transforming their attitude toward the effects of tourism to behavior toward sustainable tourism. But they are ready, more than men, to support sustainable tourism and ignore its negative effects, in spite of their higher sensitivity for the negative effects. So we recommend raising the role of local community and giving women more chances in the different levels of tourism activities.

Therefore, a fault diagnosis algorithm based on tailing dam deformation detection method is proposed. The grey theory is used to accumulate the original feature sequence, and the first cumulative sequence is obtained. Based on this, the grey detection model is constructed, and then the concrete deformation of tailings dam body is accurately detected by precision test. Experimental results show that the method has high accuracy, high speed and practicability
Extraction method of position and posture information of robot arm picking up target based on RGB-D data
Authors: Teng Qi , Yi Jianjun , Zhu Xiaoming , Zhang Yajun
Published: January 2020

There is a big error in the traditional method to extract the position and attitude information of the robot. In the process of obtaining the target attitude, a method of extracting the target attitude information of robot arm based on RGB-D data is proposed. The position and attitude of the manipulator target are acquired by depth image processing, and the detected target position is sent to the manipulator control node, and the feature points of the manipulator are extracted. The 3-D mapping is carried out on the acquired RGB image, and the depth and RGB values of feature points, as well as position and attitude information are calculated by using the Gauss mixture model. Finally, the target is extracted by combining the covariance matrix of feature points. The experimental results show that the co-ordinate error and angle error of the robot arm extracted by this method are small. The maximum extraction error is only 28%, which is much lower than the traditional method, which shows that the proposed method is more applicable.

Kajian ini membahas tentang mengoptimalkan kompetensi guru dalam mengembangkan peserta didik untuk mengaktualisasikan diri yang meliputi memfasilitasi peserta didik mengembangkan berbagai potensi akademik maupun non-akademik. Potensi non-akademik dapat berupa soft skill untuk terjun ke dunia usaha sehingga dapat mandiri sesuai dengan cita-cita bangsa. Pelaksanaan dilakukan dua tahapan yaitu tahapan pertama pemberian materi yang dalam bentuk seminar satu hari dan dilanjutkan dengan pelatihan selama enam kali. Guru-guru diberikan pre-test dan post-test untuk melihat kemampuan awal dan sebagai evaluasi kemampuan guru sebelum dan sesudah pemberian materi dan pelatihan. Melalui pelatihan ini guru-guru memiliki kemampuan dalam menyeduh kopi dengan menerapkan teknik manual brewing. Sehingga soft skill yang dimiliki guru akan ditransfer kepada anak hambatan pendengaran pada mata pelajaran tataboga atau vocasional. Penerapan teknik manual brewing dalam penyeduhan kopi dirasa perlu diberikan kepada guru-guru agara dapat dipraktekkan lansung dan dimasukkan sebagai bahan ajar karena keberadaan penyandang disabilitas di Kota Padang khususnya dan Sumatera Barat pada umumnya berada pada lingkungan yang memiliki kekayaan kearifan lokal. Salah satu yang memiliki pasar yang cukup luas dan peminat yang terus-menerus adalah minuman kopi. Penyajian kopi yang terus digemari konsumen adalah dengan teknik manual brewing karena teknik ini memiliki keunikan tersendiri menciptakan cita rasa keaslian kopi itu sendiri. Sehingga hal ini akan menjadi peluang bagi anak hambatan pendengaran untuk bekerja dan bahkan membuka usaha sendiri.

Renovación protocolaria: papel de los símbolos religiosos en actos de toma de posesión
Authors: García Rodríguez Vanessa
Published: January 2020

Se producen recientemente dos hechos en el escenario político español que devuelven el protagonismo al viejo debate en torno al uso de los símbolos religiosos en las tomas de posesión: por un lado la ausencia de símbolos religiosos en la toma de posesión de Pedro Sánchez y la reciente propuesta acerca de la necesidad, u oportunidad, de legislar una formulación amplia y armonizada, para las tomas de posesión en las instituciones españolas. Se propone una aportación al debate desde una conceptualización del protocolo dentro de la comunicación política, y un análisis de la evolución histórica del uso del simbolismo religioso en las tomas de posesión.
