Às Margens do Império, por dentro dos sobados
Authors: Sicca Gonçalves Ivan
Published: November 2020

Durante os séculos XVI a XIX, o que hoje chamamos de Angola foi a principal região de origem de pessoas escravizadas e levadas para as Américas. Com a proibição legal desse comércio pelos portugueses a partir de 1836, ocorreram profundas transformações sociais no interior do continente, na chamada zona atlântica. Diante dessas transformações, nesse texto analisaremos os relatos diários de um comerciante do interior, um sertanejo, que procurava se adaptar a esses novos contextos, organizando caravanas de longa distância para levar ao litoral gêneros coloniais, principalmente marfim e cera, vindos de centenas de quilômetros do interior. Assim procuraremos apontar as várias estratégias dos diversos agentes envolvidos nessa rede comercial, cujo centro era o reino centro-africano do Bié.
Reuniones de vecinos Participación y regulación moral en la ciudad de Buenos Aires gobernada por el PRO
Authors: Coto Joaquín
Published: November 2020

Las reuniones de vecinos son encuentros organizados por el área de Participación Ciudadana del Gobierno de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires en los cuales el jefe de Gobierno porteño acude a un barrio para dialogar con los vecinos. En estos eventos se ponen en juego formas específicas de producir la participación y se define a los vecinos como comunidad de referencia para las políticas de gobierno. Así, analizaré la participación promovida por el gobierno del PRO en CABA entendiendo las reuniones de vecinos como procedimientos por los que se realiza una “regulación moral” que normaliza formas específicas de gobierno, participación y ciudadanía. A su vez, retomaré aspectos de la construcción de la identidad partidaria del PRO. Para la realización de este artículo desarrollé trabajo de campo etnográfico en los eventos de participación de una comuna porteña, entre marzo de 2016 y julio de 2017, y entrevistas a funcionarios.

Reflexões a partir de pesquisa sobre o Espaço Ciência do NUPEM/UFRJ Campus Macaé na qual analisamos a aplicação do termo "troca ativa de saberes" usada na criação do projeto de extensão universitária. Ao aprofundarmos o estudo percebemos o uso retórico da expressão, operada sem uma análise epistemológica condizente com sua efetiva aplicação num espaço dialógico. Através do olhar crítico da teoria da Complexidade se compreende a natureza dos obstáculos epistemológicos que entravam a efetiva operacionalização de um conceito dialógico no espaço ainda fixado no paradigma científico clássico.

Published: November 2020

Studi ini menguji pengaruh moderasi efisiensi atas hubungan diversifikasi dan kinerja perusahaan-perusahaan non keuangan yang tercatat dalam Bursa Efek Indonesia dari tahun 2013 hingga 2017 di Indonesia. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk memperoleh bukti empiris atas efek moderasi efisiensi dalam hubungan strategi diversifikasi dan kinerja perusahaan terutama dengan banyaknya hasil penelitian yang berbeda terkait pengaruh strategi diversifikasi, juga belum pernah digunakannya efisiensi sebagai variabel moderasi di Indonesia. Metode penelitian menggunakan regresi linear berganda dengan diversifikasi terdiri atas diversifikasi related dan diversifikasi unrelated, serta pengukuran efisiensi menggunakan Data Envelopment Analysis.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa strategi diversifikasi related maupun unrelated tidak mempengaruhi kinerja perusahaan secara signifikan. Di sisi lain, efisiensi tidak memoderasi hubungan antara strategi diversifikasi terhadap kinerja perusahaan. Namun, temuan dalam penelitian ini mengindikasikan adanya crossover interaction (Baron dan Kenny, 1986) antara variabel efisiensi dan diversifikasi. Hal ini dibuktikan dengan hubungan yang tidak signifikan antara diversifikasi dan kinerja tetapi, adanya hubungan signifikan antara efisiensi dan kinerja, disertai variabel interaksi yang berhubungan signifikan terhadap kinerja. Berdasarkan temuan tersebut, penelitian selanjutnya sebaiknya meneliti pengaruh moderasi diversifikasi terhadap hubungan antara efisiensi dan kinerja. Hasil penelitian juga diharapkan dapat berkontribusi bagi teori terkait strategi diversifikasi serta digunakan dalam pengambilan keputusan perusahaan dan investor. Limitasi penelitian ini terdiri dari kurangnya literatur yang membahas strategi diversifikasi sebagai variabel moderasi serta pengukuran diversifikasi menggunakan variabel biner.

Published: November 2020

Introduction. A distinctive feature of the modern lifestyle of children and adolescents is insufficient physical activity having a negative effect on their health. We conducted a physical activity survey for 997 schoolchildren and 597 students of the city of Ufa. Results. The results showed that 688 respondents (43.16%) did not do sport outside school or university. 272 people (17.06%) reported jogging and playing sports games on their own. 634 respondents (39.78%) attended sports clubs and sections on a regular basis. The survey demonstrated that physically inactive students and schoolchildren violated daily routine. Such schoolchildren spent significantly more leisure time on television viewing (52.78%) compared to their peers attending sports clubs (41.36%). The percentage of schoolchildren spending much time on the computer among those not doing sport was also higher (58.59% vs 41.47%). The same trend was observed in the students: 36.24% of the students not practicing sport spent most of their leisure time on the computer. Physically active students spent enough time outdoors as compared to those not doing sport (23.40% vs 11.15%). Conclusions. The surveyed schoolchildren and students revealed age and gender differences in sports patterns. The duration of training and the level of sportsmanship was higher in boys than in girls. We also observed the increase with age in the number and duration of training, as well as the level of sportsmanship. The health status analysis showed that the schoolchildren and students doing sport had significantly more harmonious physical development, while disharmonious physical development was more common among physically inactive persons. The pupils and students practicing sport regularly showed higher lung vital capacity, hand muscle strength, and a higher level of adaptation.

The main objective of the article is to present knowledge of newly discovered sites in the mountainous environment of Šumava (Bohemian
Forest). The fieldwork in 2011–2019 identified a total of 30 new sites that can be dated to the Late Palaeolithic and Mesolithic
periods. The research of prehistoric settlement of the mountainous regions of Bohemia remained a neglected topic for many years.
The presence of hunters-gatherers in the mountains in the Mesolithic was documented by isolated finds from the Ore Mountains and
a far greater number from Šumava in south Bohemia. This study presents the result of research conducted in three identified locations:
in the floodplains of the Roklanský Stream, the Upper Vltava (Moldau) and the Křemelná Stream. The article documents that the network
of sites in this space is relatively dense. Although remnants of intact situations are documented in rare cases, the dating of the
majority of sites is based solely on lithic assemblages of varying size. Due to the fragmented condition of the obtained material, we
discuss the extent to which it is possible to set the survey results in the broader context of central European Mesolithic settlement
and present additional thoughts on the density, character and structure of the settlement of central European mountain ranges.

Bohemia at the End of the La Tène Period:
Objects, Materials, Chronology, and Main Development Trends – A Review
Authors: Danielisová Alžběta
Published: November 2020

The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of current knowledge concerning the late La Tène chronology in Bohemia and Moravia
during the LT C2–D2 phases (150–0 BC) with an emphasis on developments in the latter stages of the La Tène occupation of the
Middle Danube zone (LT D1b – LT D2). During the first century BC, specifically from the 70s and 60s BC onwards, a succession of
events caused a rapid chain of reactions that resulted in the abandonment of the oppida and the replacement of the La Tène population
in Bohemia by incomers of Germanic origin on the one hand, and a final rapid rise of the La Tène elites in the Middle Danube zone
on the other. These processes are accompanied by a distinctive material culture of both local and external origin (Mediterranean and
Germanic) and these objects tell us much about the society and its socio-economic strategies, distribution patterns and long-distance
communication. The article does not aim to provide an historical account of the events that took place around the second half of the
first century BC, such as Ceasar’s military campaigns against the Helvetians and in Gaul, the supposed participation of the Boii in
these events, and the demise of the Celtic occupation of the Bratislava oppidum as a result of the (supposed) devastating incursion
by the Dacians under the leadership of Burebista. The objective is to summarise what is known about the chronology of this turbulent
period of the first century BC and to offer an archaeological overview of the developments of material culture in the Middle Danube
zone.

Tismice as a Production and Supra-Regional Centre of Bohemia
in the 8th and 9th Centuries
Authors: Profantová Naďa , Křivánek Roman , Fikrle Marek , Zavřel Jan
Published: November 2020

The central Bohemian hillfort-type site in Tismice is one of the largest (20–22 ha) in Bohemia from the Early to Middle Hillfort period
(8th–9th century) and has been studied for years using non-destructive methods. The study, which presents the results of the complete
geophysical survey of the site as well as the results of small-scale trenching from 2013, is focussed on an analysis of non-ferrous
metal ornaments (c. 170 pcs., mostly belt and horse harness decorations) and analyses of evidence of craft production – jewellerymaking,
metalsmithing and metal casting (ingots, blanks). It presents the earliest evidence of work with gold in early medieval
Bohemia (2018 excavation) as well as natural science radiocarbon and magnetic absolute dates, which supplement dating on the
basis of Carolingian coin and imports. The internally divided hillfort was an elite residence (gilded ornaments, spurs, coin) and for
a short time served as a supra-regional centre that not only received and redistributed but also produced items of statutory importance
(belt and horse harness ornaments, pendants, spurs). Radiocarbon dating places the multiphase early medieval settlement and
fortifications in the period from the final third of the 8th century until the end of the 9th century. A detailed evaluation of the stratigraphy
will be another step towards a comprehensive interpretation of this site.

A New Method for Calculating the Population Density of Terrestrial Animals Using Camera Traps with Assessment of Roe Deer (Capreolus pygargus Pallas, 1771) (Cervidae, Mammalia) Population Density in the Khingan Nature Reserve as an Example
Authors: Kastrikin V. A. , Podol'skii S. A. , Babykina M. S.
Published: November 2020

A new method for calculating the population density of terrestrial animals, which are not amenable to individual identification, using photos or video images obtained by automatic cameras is proposed for discussion. The method is based on the continuous registration of animals on sites formed by the detection zones of camera traps with subsequent extrapolation of the results to the entire study area. A much simpler mathematical apparatus is a significant difference between our proposed method and other methods of accounting by camera traps, which allows it to be applied by a wide range of users. Both the positional measures and the scattering measures necessary for subsequent statistical analysis are calculated quite easily. Also, one of our method’s advantages is no need to know the animal movement speed, the most difficult parameter to calculate, especially in the snowless period of the year. An example of using the bootstrap method is given for the case when the input data distribution parameters do not correspond to the normal one. Using the de Moivre–Laplace theorem, the probability that the animals resting on their beds would get into the detection zone of the camera trap matrices is estimated, which is necessary for the correct use of the proposed method. Solutions are proposed for cases when this probability is low. The problems of our proposed method and their possible solutions are described. An example of calculating the density of roe deer in the open oak forest of the Khingan Nature Reserve is given on the basis of our data obtained from four camera traps.

Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is classifed as a most widely spread natural-focal zoonotic infection in the forest and forest-steppe regions of Russia, taking a leading position by the incidence rate among the population. The Saratov region is enzootic as regards to HFRS, but it is not included in the list of constituent entities characterized by sustainably high morbidity rates. In some years, given favorable ecological conditions, explosive growth in the numbers of the red vole (the main carrier of Hantavirus) is registered, which leads to epidemic complications. In the winter 2018– 2019season, an intensive subniveal breeding of the red vole occurred, which led to an increase in the numbers of the species in the spring. The density of such animals increased, they began to spread widely across the territory. Intensive and extensive epizooties in rodent settlements developed in the natural foci of HFRS. This was especially evident in the territory of the forest park zone “Kumysnaya Polyana”, located in the vicinity of the regional center. The numbers of rodents in ravine and floodplain deciduous forests increased everywhere and amounted to 37.6% in spring and 53.7% in autumn per 100 capture gears, which was 1.6–2 times higher than the average long-term level. The index of dominance of the red vole has also doubled and amounted to 69.5%. In general, the infection rate of rodents increased by 2-3 times in the region. This indicator in the territory of the Saratov forest park was 20.6% in spring and 35.3% in autumn. Against this background, a record outbreak of HFRS was registered in 2019, namely, 109.7 cases per 100 thousand of the population, which was ten times higher than the long-term indicator (7.2). The results of this research should be taken into account when organizing and conducting epizootiological monitoring and preventive measures in the natural foci of HFRS and other zoonotic infections.

Hybrid learning model has been introduced in universities for a long time, but most of them take place to support instructional of theoretical learning. The application of hybrid learning models in practical subjects has never been exposed, especially for visual art education. This study was aimed to see how the development of a Quantum Working based Hybrid Learning Model (HQW) in the Graphic Arts Subject. Hybrid learning is intended to enrich the way of learning that so far has only focused on face-to-face activities.So by involving online learning, students can more freely search for varied and meaningful learning resources.When the references obtained have enriched their insights, it will be easy for students to express their ideas into two-dimensional or three-dimensional works of art.It is fully realized that there are limitations to the lecturers themselves, the completeness of campus facilities and infrastructure as well as the latest reference books.By combining face-to-face learning and online learning for the learning of art work practices, these weaknesses can be minimized.Students can make innovations from existing findings so that their work process becomes better, faster, and more efficient that we called Quantum Working.This research method is included in preliminary research R&D with the Borg and Gall model. The research data was obtained by distributing questionnaires to 114 students registered in the July-December 2019 semester and processed with a percentage formula, followed by interviews with lecturers who taught practicum subject.
From Raw Pixels to Recurrence Image for Deep Learning of Benign and Malignant Mediastinal Lymph Nodes on Computed Tomography
Authors: Pham Tuan
Published: November 2020

Lung cancer causes the most cancer deaths worldwide and has one of the lowest five-year survival rates of all cancer types. It is reported that more than half of patients with lung cancer die within one year of being diagnosed. Because mediastinal lymph node status is the most important factor for the treatment and prognosis of lung cancer, the aim of this study is to improve the predictive value in assessing the computed tomography (CT) of mediastinal lymph-node malignancy in patients with primary lung cancer. This paper introduces a new method for creating pseudo-labeled images of CT regions of mediastinal lymph nodes by using the concept of recurrence analysis in nonlinear dynamics for the transfer learning. Pseudo-labeled images of original CT images are used as input into deep-learning models. Three popular pretrained convolutional neural networks (AlexNet, SqueezeNet, and DenseNet-201) were used for the implementation of the proposed concept for the classification of benign and malignant mediastinal lymph nodes using a public CT database. In comparison with the use of the original CT data, the results show the high performance of the transformed images for the task of classification. The proposed method has the potential for differentiating benign from malignant mediastinal lymph nodes on CT, and may provide a new way for studying lung cancer using radiology imaging.
Coordinated Market Clearing for Combined Thermal and Electric Distribution Grid Operation
Authors: Troitzsch Sebastian , Zhang Kai , Massier Tobias , Hamacher Thomas
Published: November 2020

To economically dispatch distributed energy resources (DERs) while addressing operational concerns of the electric grid, distribution locational marginal price (DLMP)-based market frameworks have been formulated for the electric distribution grid. This paper proposes to extend this methodology to thermal grids, i.e. district heating or cooling systems, and presents a market-clearing mechanism based on the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) for coordinating between thermal grid, electric grid and DER operation. The ability of the proposed mechanism to achieve the market equilibrium for a combined thermal and electric grid is demonstrated for a test case with 22 flexible loads (FLs).

Authors: Akinyemi Adeola Folasade , Nkonki Vuyisile
Published: November 2020

This study examined how partnership with international agencies, non-governmental organisations and experts from higher institutions of learning assist teachers’ in communities of learning towards their professional development. Mixed methods and concurrent triangulation research designs were adopted for this study. Seventy-nine respondents which comprises of principals, teachers, head of departments, cluster leaders, subject advisers and education district officials were purposively selected. Semi-structured questionnaire which has both open- and closed- ended questions as well as semi-structured interview which has both structured and unstructured interviews were the research instruments used to elicit information from the respondents. Quantitative data were analysed descriptively while quantitative data were analysed thematically from emerging themes. Findings revealed that greater percentage of high schools that participated in the study do not engage in partnership with international agencies, non-governmental organizations and experts from higher institutions in their communities of practice. However, few schools indicated that they enjoyed partnership from these organizations which had helped their teachers towards their professional development. Based on these findings, this study recommends that high school should try to engage in partnership programs especially with universities that are near to their school location to organise trainings, workshops and seminars for their teachers to serve as support measures for their professional development.

The United Nations (UN) is against violent extremism and urges Member States to prevent violent extremism in their respective countries. In this context, Malaysia as one of the Member States under the UN is also required to take an initiative towards preventing violent extremism in the country. The pertinent question is, what is meant by violent extremism? Does violent extremism only focus on Islam? These questions need to be answered first before the government begins its initiative in preventing violent extremism in the country. Without a clear interpretation of the law, extremism cannot be effectively prevented and miscarriage of justice may occur. Therefore, this article intends to address the available legal framework on prevention of extremism in Malaysia. Before venturing into the Malaysia’s legal framework on prevention of extremism, this article will give an overview of the international framework on prevention of extremism. In achieving the objective of this article, the authors used qualitative approach with content analysis method. The article found that Malaysia has many legislations which act as preventive laws, but none of legislations define extremism.

The study aimed at investigating the extent to which English is used as a medium of teaching and learning Life Sciences in a South African rural high school. As the government has given recognition to the country’s multilingual, multi-ethnic and multicultural composition, School Governing Bodies are mandated to choose any of the eleven official languages as a medium of instruction (RSA, Act 108 of 1996), but the power of deciding which language to use as a medium of instruction has been taken by teachers to shield their own shortcomings. To be able to explore and understand the prevailing situation, the researchers employed a qualitative design which translated into researchers observing classes, evaluating learners’ written texts and interviewing the teachers as methods of collecting data. The findings are that: first, learners’ and teachers’ proficiency levels in English are very low, as such, the English language is not a pivot of learning and teaching in the South African education system. This emanates from the fact that although in theory the majority of the South African schools have adopted English as a medium of instruction, in practice, this is far from the truth as teachers employ code alternation in the form of code switching, code mixing and sentence translation as viable means of scaffolding the learning of content subjects.
The Principle of Sovereignty as the Main Principle of Democracy, between the Political Pluralism and the Electoral System in the Parlamentary Republic of Albania
Authors: Tafani Ismail , Sina Darjel
Published: November 2020

Popular sovereignty is the foundation of the principle of democracy for the existence and functioning of the rule of law. In the Parliamentary Republic of Albania based on political pluralism for nearly three decades, this essential element of the democratic principle seems to be as fragile as the principle itself. The basic concept of the functionality of the rule of law in Albania under the Constitution is the separation and balancing of powers. Although the constitutional provision for the separation and balancing of powers is clear and based on Montesquieu’s conception of the development of the principle of democracy and the prohibition of abuse that each of the powers could inflict on each other, the separation and balancing of powers in Albania seems to be impossible. Albania as a country with a culture of not very long political pluralism, instead it comes from a rather long-term mono-party system where the development of the electoral process was more of a holiday than a race. However, the sovereignty of the people enshrined in today's constitution and yesterday's constitution seems more like a slogan than a fundamental principle of constitutional order. In these years of political pluralism between the test of many electoral systems coupled with constitutional and legal changes, the implementation of the principle of popular sovereignty to consolidate the democratic principle remains clearly a utopia for Albanian society. After each election process debates reopen the need for reforming the electoral system in general and managing the process in particular. The purpose of this paper through a comparative analysis is to identify the elements that impede the observance of the fundamental constitutional principle of popular sovereignty either directly or indirectly through elected representatives to consolidate the rule oflaw in Albania.

The purpose of this research was to explore the psychological aspects of corruption in public administration through a combination of methods such as the non-systematic review, a semi-structured interview, a survey questionnaire, and observations of the anti-corruption court hearings. The study employed a case research design using the exploratory research strategy. It relied on a combination of data collection methods. The study was designed as a flow of three basic stages such as identification of psychological factors of corruption, validation of factors, and assessment of relative importance of every factor using the Triangular Assessment Method. It provided first-hand evidence and cases for the course in “Psychological, Behavioural and Economic Triggers of Corruption.” The IBM SPSS Statistics 25.0.0.1. Software was used to process the yielded data. The study found that civil servants’ ambitions to get rich quick, their low self-esteem, psychological dependencies, community-accepted image, sense of impunity were the major psychological aspects pushing the people to corruption in Ukraine. It was also found that the sense of impunity could be considered to be the primary psychological impact factor stimulating corruption actions by the civil servants, specifically. The self-esteem could be regarded as a second important psychological factor of corruption in public administration, which is related to the persons’ vision of their role in the community. The third important factor was ambitions driven by ‘easy money’ and status. The last two factors such as psychological dependencies, the community-accepted image were judged to be the least important ones. Further in-depth research is needed to identify the gender difference in the psychological aspects of corruption in public administration.

This research uses variable sintering temperature of 1300 0C, 1400 0C, 1500 0C and 1600 0C mixed with mullite additives 0%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25%. As parameters of the study are the vickers hardness and bending strength. In this study a computational simulation has been designed with the Matlab program to analyze the relationship between the Vickers Hardness and bending strength to the sintering temperature of alumina ceramics (Al2O3) with variations in the addition of mullite additives.The best result of the hardness value which is close to the literature value is the 25 % mullite additive composition at a sintering temperature of 1600 0C which is 475 kgf / mm2. The best results of fracture strength values close to the literature value is the composition of the mullite additive 20% at a sintering temperature of 1600 0C which is 45,800 lbf / in2. From the results of simulation analysis for hardness and strength of the fractures can be obtained a constant change due to the constant increase in sintering temperature.Keywords: Matlab, Vickers Hardness and Bending Strength, Alumina Ceramics, Mullit.

Bidirectional space communication is a fundamental prerequisite for maintaining contact with objects performing missions in space, whether manned and unmanned. Until recently, it relied solely on the propagation of electromagnetic waves (the radio) using frequency bands dedicated for objects outside the Earth's atmosphere. However, modern space technologies are subject to ongoing development as they are being fitted with advanced communication systems. Given the constant enhancement of our technological capabilities, the traditional radio-based communication shows a glaring inadequacy and contributes to the widening of a gap between this and the high technology of on-board devices installed on modern spacecraft. The technology that complies with the up-to-date requirements of space communication is optical space communication. It is expected to provide for high-speed data transfer and increase the bandwidth several times, while ensuring immunity to common cyber threats, including jamming, spoofing and meaconing. The deployment of laser-based optical communication will not only contribute to increasing the air and space operation safety levels, but also enable deep space exploration. To this end, NASA’s Laser Communications Relay Demonstration Project (LCRD) is currently undergoing development and testing. This chapter undertakes to characterise the emerging technology with respect to its operating principles, the future scope of applications and involvement in currently conducted experiments. The results from the analysis are presented in the form of scenarios outlining possible applications of laser communication.
