Multi-year evaluation of airborne geodetic surveys to estimate seasonal mass balance, Columbia and Rocky Mountains, Canada
Authors: Pelto Ben M. , Menounos Brian , Marshall Shawn J.
Published: June 2019

Abstract. Seasonal measurements of glacier mass balance provide
insight into the relation between climate forcing and glacier change. To
evaluate the feasibility of using remotely sensed methods to assess seasonal
balance, we completed tandem airborne laser scanning (ALS) surveys and
field-based glaciological measurements over a 4-year period for six
alpine glaciers that lie in the Columbia and Rocky Mountains, near the
headwaters of the Columbia River, British Columbia, Canada. We calculated
annual geodetic balance using coregistered late summer digital elevation
models (DEMs) and distributed estimates of density based on surface
classification of ice, snow, and firn surfaces. Winter balance was derived
using coregistered late summer and spring DEMs, as well as density measurements
from regional snow survey observations and our glaciological measurements.
Geodetic summer balance was calculated as the difference between winter and
annual balance. Winter mass balance from our glaciological observations
averaged 1.95±0.09 m w.e. (meter water equivalent), 4 % larger than those derived from
geodetic surveys. Average glaciological summer and annual balance were 3 %
smaller and 3 % larger, respectively, than our geodetic estimates. We find
that distributing snow, firn, and ice density based on surface classification
has a greater influence on geodetic annual mass change than the density
values themselves. Our results demonstrate that accurate assessments of
seasonal mass change can be produced using ALS over a series of glaciers
spanning several mountain ranges. Such agreement over multiple seasons,
years, and glaciers demonstrates the ability of high-resolution geodetic
methods to increase the number of glaciers where seasonal mass balance can
be reliably estimated.

Published: June 2019

Abstract. With the increase demand for greener, sustainable and economical energy sources, wind energy has proven a potential promising sustainable source of energy. The trend development of wind turbines tends to increase rotor diameter and tower height to capture more energy. The bigger, lighter and more flexible structure is more sensitive to smaller excitations. To make sure that the dynamic behavior of the wind turbine structure will not influence the stability of the system and to further optimize the structure, a fully detailed analyses of the entire wind turbine structure is crucial. Since the fatigue and the excitation of the structure are highly depend on the aerodynamic forces, it is important to take blade-tower interaction into consideration in the design of large-scale wind turbines. In this work, an aeroelastic model that describes the interaction between the blade and the tower of a horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) is presented. The high-fidelity fluid-structure interaction (FSI) model is developed by coupling a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver with finite element (FE) solver to investigate the response of a multi-megawatt wind turbine structure. The results of the computational simulation showed that the dynamic response of the tower is highly depend on the rotor azimuthal position. Furthermore, rotation of the blades in front of the tower cause not only aerodynamic force pulls on the blade but a sudden reduction of the rotor aerodynamic torque by 2.3 % three times per revolution.

The aim of this study was to evaluate antioxidant capacity of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi from two regions of Ukraine: Kyiv city (M. M. Gryshko National Botanical Garden of NAS of Ukraine (NBG)) and Kherson region (Experimental Facility “Novokakhovska” of Rice Research Institute of Ukrainian Academy of Agrarian Sciences (EFN of RRI)). Observation of plants and biochemical analyses conducted with plants collected in the stage of flowering. In study investigated and compared above-ground part of plants and separated organs: inflorescences, stems, leaves. Measured morphometric parameters (height of plants, length, and width of leaves, length, and diameter of inflorescence, the diameter of the stem) showed that the most variable was the length of inflorescence (12.79%) for NBG sample and diameter of the stem (33.33%) for EFN of RRI sample. Ethanolic extracts were screened for the antioxidant capacity. As standards were used gallic acid for polyphenol content (GAE), quercetin for flavonoids (QE), caffeic acid for phenolic acids (CAE), Trolox for antioxidant capacity (TE). The total content of polyphenol compounds was 42.43 – 86.13 mg GAE.g-1 DW (dry weight) (NBG sample) and 28.06 – 96.76 mg GAE.g-1 DW (EFN of RRI sample). The content of flavonoids was9.39 – 62.97 mg QE.g-1 DW (NBG sample) and 10.64 – 66.07 mg QE.g-1 DW (EFN of RRI sample). The concentration of phenolic acids was 2.60 – 16.13 mg CA.g-1 DW (NBG sample) and 12.02 – 30.12 CA.g-1 DW (EFN of RRI sample). Antioxidant activity of plant extracts was measured by DPPH assay and reducing power method. The first method indicated an antioxidant ability 8.24 – 8.56 mg TE.g-1 DW (NBG sample) and 7.63 – 8.83 mg TE.g-1 DW (EFN of RRI sample). Reducing power of extracts was 51.48 – 306.09 mg TE.g-1 DW (NBG sample) and 63.33 – 260.24 mg TE.g-1 DW (EFN of RRI sample). Very strong positive correlation identified between total polyphenol content, total flavonoid content and reducing power. Scutellaria baicalensis is a rich source of antioxidants and potential raw of further pharmacological study in Ukraine as well as in other regions for improving and enrichment of relevant production.
Comparison of analysis and the nutritional value of fresh common carp, frozen and southern canned tuna
Authors: Aberoumand Ali , Fazeli Afsaneh
Published: June 2019

Freezing and canning are suitable methods to delay the spoilage of marine products and improve their physico-chemical and organoleptic properties. The fish were transported to the ice in proportion to 1 to 3 (w/w) inside the boxes, and then moved wastes. The purpose of this project is to analyse and to compare the nutritional value of fresh, frozen the fish and canned tuna fish. Nutrient composition and pH of the fresh fish fillet and moisture and ash contents and other nutrient composition were measured by the standard AOAC method. The results showed that the percentage of frozen fish protein was 17.41 and the highest moisture percentage for frozen fish with 72.23. The level of energy (kcal) of canned fish with 393.36 kcal was the highest level. The pH of the canned fish with 7.28 was the highest pH. The percentage of drip and WHC in frozen fillet found 6.7% and 6% respectively. From the obtained results, it can be concluded that despite the low amounts of protein and ash in canned fish, the fat and energy content was the highest. The protein content of the fish is frozen, and its pH indicates that it was better than fresh fish from point of quality.

Published: June 2019

Desde hace unos años, las organizaciones colegiadas de la profesión farmacéutica se han visto desafiadas, no solo por agentes externos, sino también por los propios profesionales. Hay una cierta crítica de respuesta, especialmente en aspectos que tienen que ver con el rol que deben jugar en el desarrollo y la actividad de la práctica profesional, en sus fines domésticos, externos e internos, y en las características que deben poseer como organizaciones al servicio de estos profesionales y la sociedad. Entendemos que el desarrollo, la revisión y actualización de la bioética, así como la formación en esta materia en las organizaciones profesionales, contribuye a esa excelencia transversal en la profesión, provoca un conocimiento real de esta en todas sus dimensiones y otorga poder para actuar en total libertad frente a las amenazas o restricciones internas o externas.
Visões antropológicas divergentes em artigos científicos de bioética no Brasil
Authors: Sanches Mário Antônio , Martins Monteiro Thiago
Published: June 2019

El objeto del estudio es caracterizar de forma antropológica las producciones brasileñas en bioética, en específico artículos científicos. La cuestión orientadora de la investigación es: ¿cuál la caracterización antropológica presente en los artículos científicos en bioética en Brasil? Las teorías bioéticas prominentes presentan indicadores de antropología restrictiva, es decir, que atribuyen dignidad solo a miembros de la especie humana que sean detentores de algunos atributos, entre ellos, conciencia y autoconciencia, en contraposición con indicadores de antropología integral en relación con los seres humanos, o sea, que atribuyen igual dignidad a todos los miembros de la especie Homo sapiens. Se concluye la prominencia de indicadores de antropología integral y la divergencia teórica en las temáticas relacionadas con el inicio de la vida, sobre todo entre utilitarismo y personalismo.

The Social Drama of Durga Puja: Performing Bengali Identity in the Diaspora
Authors: Banerji Arnab
Published: June 2019

The Durga Puja festival—arguably, the most important ritual celebration among Bengali Hindus—is much more than simply a religious event. This essay demonstrates how the festival becomes a site for diaspora Bengalis to perform Bangaliyana, or a ritualized Bengali identity, away from the homeland. Attending to Durga Puja as organized by the Bengali Association of Southern California, and using anthropologist Victor Turner's concepts of liminality and social drama as a launching pad, the essay describes how the diasporic Bengali subject traverses two poles of identity. A social drama like Durga Puja, the essay argues, allows the subject to reintegrate into a social structure after the crisis that is initiated by diasporic movement away from the homeland.
RETRACTED: Wassily Kandinsky's The Yellow Sound as a Total Work
of Art: Reception and Interpretation
Authors: Cardullo R. J.
Published: June 2019

The editors recently learned that R. J. Cardullo's article, "Wassily Kandinsky's The Yellow Sound as a Total Work of Art: Reception and Interpretation," published in Interdisciplinary Literary Studies 19.2 (2020), was plagiarized from other scholars. The editors and the press take seriously their commitment to publishing ethics and wish to retract this article immediately.

While completely repudiating representational or realistic art in The Yellow Sound,Wassily Kandinsky embraced some models of avant-garde drama and prefigured others. Influenced by the principles of the Gesamtkunstwerk and the symbolist theory of “correspondences,” Kandinsky also explored some of the themes of expressionistic drama, such as the eternal contradiction between Dionysian frenzy (yellow) and Apollonian “classicism” (blue) and the never-ending battle between the spiritual and the physical. In emphasizing the importance of collage and the juxtaposition of different arts within a total work of art, he also anticipated the Dadaist theories of automatic writing, chance collages, and random stage compositions. Finally, however, The Yellow Sound in its pure form cannot be identified with any particular avant-garde movement: instead, it is sui generis, presenting its own form and perhaps its own movement. This essay explores The Yellow Sound—a stage composition, as Kandinsky described it—in depth.
Hybridizing consumer behavioural approaches on agrifood markets: Attitudes, judgements and choices
Authors: Salazar-Ordóñez Melania , Rodríguez-Entrena Macario
Published: June 2019

The attitudinal approach, represented by the Theory of Reasoned Action and, subsequent, Theory of Planned Behaviour, and the judgements and choices – also called decision – approach, rendered by the Classical Utility Economic Theory, are the two mainstream frameworks to explain consumer behaviour. The former explains consumer behaviour based on beliefs and behavioural intentions, and the latter on products’ attributes and prices. Both are criticized by having drawbacks, which may limit their explicative and predictive power, such as the attitude-behaviour or intention-behaviour gap in the former, and both the divergence between monetary assessment and predicted utility as well as the failures to maximize the utility of the choices in the latter. Our aim was to assess the potentiality of a hybrid approach which integrates instruments from both theories in order to unravel consumer behaviour in agri-food markets. The empirical research was performed using a daily agri-food product under volitional control, olive oil, and variance-based structural equation modelling by means of the Partial Least Squares (PLS) technique, collecting data from consumers in Southern Spain. The results show there are key factors from both approaches such as attitude, expected outcomes, and socioeconomic features, which makes us conclude that it is necessary to move forward on the convergence and integration of different theories. Indeed, testable knowledge must be produced which has meaningful implications for predicting behaviours in consumption.
Evaluate the Attıtudes of the Pre-Servıce Teachers towards STEM and STEM’s Sub Dımensıons
Authors: Cengel Metin , Alkan Ayse , Yildiz Ezgi Pelin
Published: June 2019

As the importance of interdisciplinary studies is on the rise, countries have developed innovative educational approaches. One of these innovative approaches is STEM. STEM focuses on interdisciplinary cooperation, systematic thinking, openness to communication, ethical values, research, production, creativity and problems, focusing on the intersection of knowledge and skills in science, technology, mathematics and engineering, it is a new learning teaching approach that aims to gain the ability to solve. In this context, the aim of this study is to evaluate the attitudes of the pre-service teachers towards STEM and STEM’s sub dimensions. Therefore; it was used as a data collection tool from attitude scale for Stem and Stem's sub dimensions developed by Keles, Kiremit and Aktamis (2017). In the data collection tool, 5 scales were developed in order to reveal the existence of the relationship between pre-service teachers' attitudes towards STEM and their attitudes towards; science, technology, mathematics and engineering. The related scale was applied to 204 pre-service teachers in various departments of the Faculty of Education at Sakarya University. In the research, the necessary correlations were made by considering the demographic characteristics such as gender, age and class of teacher candidates. The overall average and standard deviation values are taken into account, when explaining the data differences for the sub-dimensions of the scale. According to the results obtained from the relevant data collection tool, when pre-service teachers' attitudes towards STEM and STEM sub-dimensions were evaluated; especially in the Mathematics and Engineering dimensions, it was revealed that their attitudes were more positive and they were indecisive in other dimensions (Science and Technology). As a result, it is thought that the acceptance of STEM method by teacher candidate, which is an innovative educational approach of the research results, will contribute to the literature and the future studies in this field.

A Plea for a Design-oriented Public Administration

Public Administration as a scientific discipline can increase its scientific and social relevance if it takes a more design-oriented approach. With that I go back to the classical notion of Herbert Simon that public administration is a design science. I advocate revitalizing that idea. This is necessary if we look at the problems governments are struggling with, but also in view of the developments in the environment of our field. But it is also promising because it offers opportunities to achieve innovative, scientific knowledge. The design sciences contain numerous insights into how a public administration design process can be set up, with room for creativity, abduction and intuition. I divide a public design process into five rounds: the round of understanding the issue, defining or demarcating it, coming up with possible solutions, testing and refining these solutions and distilling the more generically applicable elements. This is ideally done through fast, iterative rounds of developing, testing and refining designs. In such a design process, disciplinary knowledge can play an important role in understanding the issue and coming up with possible designs. And so designing can also become a way to validate this knowledge.

Enforcement and governance in the open society

Regulation and markets have become central steering mechanisms in modern states, but have received relatively little attention in public administration. This contribution argues that questions around regulation, monitoring and enforcement deserve more attention in public administration scholarship. It sketches the development of ‘Regulatory Governance’ as a scholarly field, and discusses the added value of a criminological perspective on relations between state and market. A research agenda on ‘naming and shaming’ brings these perspectives together.
Europese regelgeving: meer dan de som der delen?

EU regulation: more than the sum of its parts?

Evaluations of EU legislation can fulfill a key role in the European policy process. They can provide the knowledge base required for political accountability towards the electorate, and form a basis for the improvement of existing legislation. This article introduces a research agenda in the realm of the ex-post evaluation of EU legislation, which comprises two research lines. The first strand comprises research into ex post legislative evaluations conducted by the European Commission. This research is innovative, because EU policy researchers so far have barely touched upon evaluation, as a final and important stage in the EU policy cycle. By assessing evaluation critically, we can ascertain to what extent the EU’s ex-post evaluation system is more than an instrument, aimed at increasing the EU’s legitimacy. The second research strand is own evaluation research, focusing on the role of European administrative networks- intergovernmental structures that have been established to improve the implementation of EU legislation by the member states. By critically evaluating the functioning and effectiveness of these networks, I hope to be able to find out whether and under what conditions these network structures are more, than the sum of their national parts.

Public administration research in a knowledge society: An argument for transdisciplinary and plural science

This article presents the research program into governance in a knowledge society of professor Albert Meijer and colleagues at Utrecht University. The knowledge society is a society in which (1) citizens are higher educated that ever before and their level of education largely determines their societal position, (2) knowledge plays a key role in administrative and policy processes and is increasingly contested and (3) technology plays a key role in every facet of societal life. Research into governance of and in the knowledge society requires a transdisciplinary and plural approach to scientific work. Transdisciplinarity entails combining insights from science with various forms of contextual and practical knowledge. A plural approach to scientific works means that we should not only do explanatory empirical work but also theoretical, normative and prescriptive research. The overall ambition of this research program is to contribute to a democratic debate about the governance of the future.
Hoe onzeker is de toekomst, of hoe is de toekomst onzeker?
Authors: van der Steen Martijn
Published: June 2019

How uncertain is the future, or how is the future uncertain?

The future is inherently uncertain. No certain statements can be made about the future. This means that policy and management always have to deal with long-term ‘future uncertainty’. However, it does matter how we name uncertainty; what words we use for it. What kind of uncertainty do we mean when we talk about uncertainty in policy processes and management? The same applies to the type of preparation for uncertainty that we choose. The question ‘are we prepared’ can also be answered in different ways. In this contribution we identify a variety of types of uncertainty and types of ways of dealing with uncertainty, based on the text of my Inaugural Speech delivered in 2016. I then discuss how these questions have been translated into research and education and which next steps I foresee for myself in the – although inherently uncertain – near future.

Supported behavior change

Changing behavior is often necessary to tackle societal problems. Governments can change behavior via economic incentives (such as subsidies for electric cars), bans/mandates (such as prison sentences for drug smuggling), communication (for example information campaigns) and nudges (for example, being a donor by default). However, the government should not be a manipulator that applies the latest behavioral tricks without societal support. Public administration research shows that support cannot be taken for granted. If there is no support for behavioral change, well-intended interventions can even be counterproductive. I therefore develop a model for supported behavioral change. I provide five criteria that indicate when there is supported behavioral change: if the behavioral change is both effective (1) and efficient (2), and when there is support for behavioral change among politicians (3), among implementing organizations (4), and among citizens (5).

Samenloop bewind en insolventie deelgenoot bij de verdeling van een gemeenschap

In dit artikel staat centraal aan wie bij de verdeling van een gemeenschap bevoegdheden toekomen indien over een aandeel in een gemeenschap een bewind is ingesteld en de deelgenoot een failliet of saniet is.

Bij (de verdeling van) een gemeenschap waarvan een aandeel met testamentair bewind is belast, zal de curator in beginsel niet bevoegd zijn met bewind belaste goederen op te eisen. Dat betekent dat aan de curator, aan wie niet het recht toekomt een met bewind belast aandeel in een gemeenschap op te eisen, geen bevoegdheden toekomen bij de verdeling van de gemeenschap. Het met bewind belaste aandeel valt dan buiten de faillissementsboedel. Bij een bewind op de voet van titel 1.19 BW kan dat anders zijn.

De auteur besteedt ook aandacht aan de wijze waarop artikel 3:183 BW in verschillende te onderscheiden gevallen dient te worden toegepast.

Artikel 4:36 BW en werkzaamheden verricht voor een bv

In deze bijdrage gaat de auteur in op een aantal aspecten van artikel 4:36 BW. Dit wordt gedaan aan de hand van een arrest van het Gerechtshof Amsterdam dat gewezen is op 12 februari 2019. Daarin kwam de vraag aan de orde of ook recht op een som ineens bestaat indien werkzaamheden zijn verricht voor een bv waarin de erflater gerechtigd was. De auteur analyseert de toepasselijkheid van artikel 4:36 BW bij werk dat verricht is voor kapitaalvennootschappen of personenvennootschappen. Ook wordt stilgestaan bij de rol van de verrichte werkzaamheden en de wenselijkheid van de huidige regeling. De conclusie luidt dat onvoldoende grond bestaat voor onderscheid tussen werkzaamheden die zijn verricht voor een kapitaalvennootschap dan wel voor de erflater zelf. Besloten wordt daarom met een oproep om de wet op dit punt aan te passen.

In Belgium bMediation, the Federal Mediation Committee and the Ghent University periodically monitor the practice of mediation in Belgium with the instrument of the 'Bemiddelingsbarometer'. It turns out that parties and their advisers in both Belgium and the Netherlands still prefer a traditional judicial approach instead of mediation, mostly because of a lack of information.

Published: June 2019

International parental abduction and conflict de-escalation in the best interests of the child

This research aims to contribute to the development of an adequate handling of the complex, conflictual family situation that occurs during a parental abduction. The following research question is answered: to what extent can the methods of conflict resolution – in the Belgian context – be optimized so that the interests of the child are guaranteed, in the light of the theoretical insights provided by Glasl’s conflict theory? Attention is paid to the limited effectiveness of legal procedures on the one hand and the mediation on the other. The method of de-escalation, developed by Glasl, offers a useful diagnostic tool for the conflict counsellor. In addition, the metaphor of the ladder he uses is extremely valuable as a tool for gaining insight into the mechanisms of conflict-escalation. A clear theoretical framework for the judiciary in the interpretation of an escalated conflict can lead to a better understanding of the possibilities and limits of cooperation between ex-partners, which benefits the best interests of the child.

Electric Energy Substitution Potential Prediction Based on Logistic Curve Fitting and Improved BP Neural Network Algorithm
Authors: Liu Yujun , Hu Cheng , Hong Yi
Published: June 2019

In order to predict the potential of electric energy substitution in the next decade in China, this paper proposes a prediction method based on Logistic curve fitting and improved BP neural network algorithm. The amount of electric energy substitution is defined to quantify the potential of electric energy substitution. Then the important influencing factors of electric energy substitution based on the Impact by Population, Affluence and Technology (IPAT) model are established and quantified. For different influencing factors, logistic curve fitting and polynomial function fitting method were used to estimate the data fitting. A two-node output layer model of BP neural network is established and improved with additional momentum factors and adaptive learning rate to learn and train the data related to electric energy substitution from 2003 to 2017, and calculate the amount of electric energy substitution which are substitution potential from 2018 to 2020, 2025 and 2030. The calculation results show that the method has higher computational accuracy and fewer iterations. The prediction results are reasonable and effective, which can be the reference of the research of energy substitution.
A Novel Step-Up Power Converter Configuration for Solar Energy Application
Authors: Ghaderi Davood , Bayrak Gokay
Published: June 2019

Renewable Energy Sources (RES) including full cells, wind turbines, and photovoltaic panels, widely are spreading. Among all the renewable energy sources, solar power generation system tops the list. The first choice is the boost converter when the voltage step-up is the issue. But the most important subject is applying an efficient structure with high gain, cheap and quick controller circuit. Our proposed cascaded boost converter is one of such converters which consists of several cheap components such as diode, inductor, capacitor and power switch, which has same switching frequency and phase shift in comparison with conventional boost converters. In comparison with the classic cascaded boost converter, the voltage gain for the proposed structure is very high and by forming a preamplifier layer, for a duty cycle of 80 % by adding only two diodes, one inductor, and one capacitor for the second block, voltage gain is increased by 5 times compared to the classic boost converter. The proposed method provides the increased output voltage along with the duty cycle. The projected strategy has been verified with the help of Matlab/Simulink. Also, a hardware implementation of the proposed converter has been done around 200 W by applying a Jiangyin HR-200W-24V type solar panel.
Outage Performance Analysis of Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access with Time-Switching Energy Harvesting
Authors: Van Hoang Thien , Nguyen Hoang-Sy , Nguyen Thanh-Sang , Huynh Van Van , Nguyen Thanh-Long , Sevcik Lukas , Voznak Miroslav
Published: June 2019

In recent years, although non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has shown its potentials thanks to its ability to enhance the performance of future wireless communication networks, a number of issues emerge related to the improvement of NOMA systems. In this work, we consider a half-duplex (HD) relaying cooperative NOMA network using decode-and-forward (DF) transmission mode with energy harvesting (EH) capacity, where we assume the NOMA destination (D) is able to receive two data symbols in two continuous time slots which leads to the higher transmission rate than traditional relaying networks. To analyse EH, we deploy time-switching (TS) architecture to comprehensively study the optimal transmission time and outage performance at D. In particular, we are going to obtain closed-form expressions for outage probability (OP) with optimal TS ratio for both data symbols with both exact and approximate forms. The given simulation results show that the placement of the relay (R) plays an important role in the system performance.
LIBERDADE: A CONDIÇÃO DE POSSIBILIDADE DO PLURALISMO A PARTIR DO PENSAMENTO DE RAWLS

Published: June 2019

Como estabelecer normas de convivência entre um indivíduo que crê em algum dogma de fé (religiosidade) e outro que não possui crença religiosa? O presente ensaio propõe que o conceito de liberdade seja o fundamento radical de uma sociedade plural. A partir de John Locke e John Stuart Mill se reconstrói o conceito de liberdade, expondo os principais argumentos do liberalismo clássico. Com John Rawls, a liberdade torna-se o primeiro princípio de justiça de uma sociedade bem-ordenada, fazendo parte da razão pública e de uma concepção política de justiça. Assim, defende-se a liberdade como condição necessária do pluralismo, ou seja, como fundamento radical de uma sociedade plural.
QUANDO A MORAL É ELEMENTO DETERMINANTE NAS DECISÕES SOBRE CRIMES DE VIOLÊNCIA SEXUAL: O SOLIPSISMO EPISTEMOLÓGICO
Authors: Hogemann Edna Raquel , Lelis Acácia Gardênia Santos
Published: June 2019

Analisa em que medida os valores morais de ordem subjetiva influenciam as decisões dos aplicadores do Direito em casos como os de violência sexual praticados contra crianças e adolescentes pobres e periféricos. Para essa pesquisa, o método de abordagem utilizado pelas autoras é o fenomenológico, a partir de uma abordagem crítico-reflexiva sobre a ocorrência de um solipsismo epistemológico. A partir dele, observa-se que os intérpretes da norma tendem a não observar que o Direito deve ser dissociado da moral, que ele deve ter autonomia e sua aplicação deve ser independente de julgamentos morais moral, conforme entendimento de Streck, em oposição a Dworkin. A pesquisa conclui pela urgente necessidade da mudança do comportamento dos intérpretes do Direito, que devem decidir em conformidade com a lei, ainda que suas ideias e convicções sejam permeadas por valores diversos.

Published: June 2019

This article outlines several forms of instructional practice that distinguished middle-grades mathematics classrooms that were organized around conceptually oriented activity and marked by African American students' success on state assessments. We identified these forms of practice based on a comparative analysis of teaching in (a) classrooms in which there was evidence of conceptually oriented instruction and in which African American students performed better than predicted by their previous state assessment scores and (b) classrooms in which there was evidence of conceptually oriented instruction but in which African American students did not perform better than predicted on previous state assessment scores. The resulting forms of practice can inform professional learning for preservice and in-service teachers.

The influence of the specimen's geometry on the mechanical properties of cement mortars with addition of carbon and basalt fibers has been studied. The first phase focused on the influence of the different amount of fibers on the mechanical properties of mortars. The tests showed that the addition of a 1% of fibers on the mortars significantly improved their energy absorption capacity. In the second phase, eight different specimen geometries were tested: four by flexural tests and four by compressive tests. The analysis of the results showed the influence of the specimen's geometry on the mechanical characteristics of mortars with fibers, in particular, in their post-break behavior. In addition, the mortars with carbon fibers showed a higher energy absorption capacity than the mortars with basalt fibers, regardless of the type of specimen tested.

At the present, the demand of a global society increasingly aware of the scarcity of natural resources has oriented its vision to stimulate the development of appropriate technologies to make more efficient the consumption of energy. This idea makes us ask ourselves certain concerns, based on the gaps that exist in the construction forms in Venezuela and the energy situation, as it is evident in the current scenario, the electricity crisis that the country suffers in addition to the lack of regulations for the design of educational building, that contemplate aspects that favor better comfort conditions and lower energy consumption. In this regard, the main objective of this research is the study of a school building, located in the Andean region of Venezuela, by analyzing the thermal comfort of the occupants in the building, in order to determine whether the design of a Constructive typology of schools in the country, help to ensure that the thermal comfort indexes of occupants are within acceptable ranges. The methodology applied for this analysis is based on the approximation of results through computer simulations, obtaining computational fluid dynamics (CFD) results. This results predict the movement of the fluids, being able to define temperatures and thermal comfort indexes (specifically those established by Povl Ole Fanger), for the critical days of the dry season (summer) and the rainy season (winter) in Venezuela. The results of the simulation show that there is greater thermal dissatisfaction during the rainy season in a large part of the spaces that make up the school and that, the application of small architectural strategies of improvement, in turn contribute to an improvement of the comfort conditions in 11% during the rainy season and 7% in relation to the condition of a totally closed environment during the dry season.

Dairy products are now part of many people's diets. In 2017 global production was 700 million tons of milk, which are marketed in the form of liquid milk (54%), yogurt and fermented milk (16%), cheese (7%) and other products. The regions of the world with the highest production are Asia (30%), the European Union (28%) and North and Central America (18%). Revenues from this industry, in 2017, were 45 billion U.S. dollars, with France, Ireland and Germany controlling much of the market (34%).

In industry there are problems which are recommended to be solved by mathematical models of optimization. The waiting time for lack of supply of materials to the production lines is one of them and is specifically, the problem that was sought to solve within an automotive industrial organization through the new methodology proposed for the generation of mathematical models of optimization.
L’intervention éducative : problématique, enjeux et perspectives
Authors: Alaoui Driss , Pelletier Liliane , Lenoir Yves
Published: June 2019

Ce texte fournit une introduction à l’intervention éducative, une notion aux origines « chargées », un terme qui n’est pas neutre et qui touche nécessairement à la définition du rôle et de la posture du chercheur en sciences humaines et sociales. L’intervention constitue à la fois une conception de la réalité, un rapport pluriel (à soi, à l’autre et au monde), une pratique complexe où le sujet et l’objet sont entremêlés, entrelacés et dialectisés tout au long de l’interaction qui les lie. Plusieurs auteurs (Lenoir, Larose, Deaudelin, Kalubi et Roy, 2002 ; Couturier, 2004 ; Larose, Couturier, Bédard, Larivée, Boulanger, Terrisse, 2013 ; Lenoir, 2009, 2011, 2014 ; Lenoir, Rey et Fazenda, 2001 ; etc.) ont souligné son caractère polysémique, sinon polyphonique, qui est présenté brièvement dans cette introduction. En éducation et en formation, la dialectique entre enseignement et apprentissage suppose interactions et médiations, introduit des régulations, éclaire le caractère dynamique du processus décisionnel des enseignants, produit du changement, autant de pistes qui permettent d’envisager la question de l’intervention en éducation selon trois perspectives : notionnel, épistémologique et empirique/praxique. Les problématiques qui sont développées dans les six articles du numéro thématique sont ici présentées avec pour ambition commune d’examiner des processus d’enseignement-apprentissage et de mettre en débat le concept d’intervention par le biais d’une démarche critique.
L’intervention éducative : quelles définitions, quels usages, quels ancrages ?1
Authors: St-Pierre Joannie
Published: June 2019

L’objectif de cette recension des écrits est d’approfondir les usages, les définitions et les ancrages que les auteurs donnent aux concepts d’intervention éducative. Pour ce faire, 25 articles ont été analysés à l’aide d’un logiciel d’analyse de données qualitatives. Les résultats démontrent que ce concept est utilisé comme une variable dans un devis de recherche ou comme une action professionnelle. De plus, cette étude se penche sur les différences de conceptualisation entre les écrits francophones et anglophones. Il semble que, dans ces derniers, il y aurait davantage une tendance à l’utilisation de ce terme sans égard à quelconques définitions ou fondements.
Acquisition du savoir-enseigner de nouveaux enseignants en formation professionnelle et technique : comprendre le moment de l’intervention éducative1
Authors: de Champlain Yves , Barrette Johanne , Lacasse Michel
Published: June 2019

Les enseignants en formation professionnelle et technique vivent généralement une période marquée de transition professionnelle lors de leur entrée dans l’enseignement. Nous avons tenté de montrer comment l’intervention éducative des nouveaux enseignants du Collège communautaire du Nouveau-Brunswick résulte d’un travail de dialectisation d’un ensemble de contextes scolaires, professionnels et personnels. Nous avons adopté une méthodologie mixte alliant une enquête quantitative et des entrevues qualitatives réalisées dans les cinq campus du collège. Nos résultats montrent l’enseignant comme sujet en transition composant un équilibre entre le point de vue du sujet en formation et les multiples contextes où il évolue. Sa transition professionnelle s’articule dans des allers-retours entre construction de compétence et construction identitaire, autour du moment de l’intervention éducative. Nous proposons en ce sens une modélisation de cette articulation pouvant servir à analyser l’intervention éducative dans sa perspective situationnelle.
Le journal interculturel critique : un dispositif pour une intervention éducative émancipatrice
Authors: Alaoui Driss
Published: June 2019

Cet article relève des champs de l’intervention éducative et de l’interculturel. Il se propose de montrer en quoi le journal interculturel critique est un facilitateur et un dispositif qui s’inscrit dans le cadre d’une intervention éducative émancipatrice visant à engager des étudiants dans un processus réflexif et critique concernant leurs perceptions, représentations, visions du monde ainsi que leurs rapports à eux-mêmes, à autrui et à la diversité socioculturelle qui caractérise leur contexte. Pour y parvenir, l’article précisera les concepts majeurs ainsi que les choix paradigmatiques et philosophiques qui sous-tendent le journal interculturel critique. Une présentation détaillée de ce dispositif accompagnée, à titre illustratif, d’extraits des journaux tenus par des étudiants inscrits en licence et en master sciences de l’éducation à l’université de La Réunion constituera la dernière partie de cette contribution.
