Authors: Willot Quentin , Wegnez Philippe
Published: June 2024

Inventory of ants of the Yeu Island (France) (Hymenoptera, Formicidae). Yeu is a small island located in the Bay of Biscay that encompasses a wide diversity of highly preserved coastal habitats. We provide here a first formal inventory of the ant community found on the island, where we identified 29 species forming an assemblage of temperate and Mediterranean ants at the northern range of their distribution. The presence of species such as Messor capitatus, Aphaenogaster gibbosa and Monomorium carbonarium is discussed, as well as the occurrence of species seldom observed across the western part of France such as Strongylognathus testaceus and Lasius mixtus. Considering the overall remarkable diversity found on the island given its minute size, we further provide a detailed list of the species found at the surveyed sites, as well as brief additional notes on their ecology.

Особенности ленточно-флажочной культуры шаманистко буддийских регионов Евразии
Authors: Ламажаа Чимиза
Published: June 2024

В статье анализируются особенности ленточно-флажочной культуры в регионах, где шаманистская культура степных и горно-степных культур Саяно-Алтайского региона (территория Южной Сибири от Байкала до Западной Монголии) соединилась с буддийской – тибетской. Эта культура считается в целом буддийской, тем не менее автор предлагает рассматривать ее также как часть большого ареала ленточной культуры шаманизма Евразии. Автор дает определение вводимому термину «ленточно-флажочная культура». Чтобы показать ее особенности, в статье анализируются несколько факторов, основанные на обширном обзоре историографической литературы, а также наблюдениях современного состояния данной культуры. Непосредственные исследования автор проводил в последние два десятилетия в одном из регионов ленточно-флажочной культуры – в шаманистско-буддийской Туве.Анализ источников и собственных материалов приводит к выводу о том, что общая траектория развития традиций ленточно-флажочной культуры восходит к анимистическим, дошаманистским верованиям и ритуальным практикам кочевников Саяно-Алтая, Внутренней Азии в общем ареале ленточной культуры. Эта традиция укрепилась ритуальной практикой шаманизма, развившемся в этом регионе, в том числе и у кочевников Тибета. Затем, обогатившись культурными традициями Индии и Китая (буддизм, шелк, традиции одаривания, ритуальные практики) и приняв форму тибетского буддизма, она вернулась и «усилила» свои же «корни» в этом регионе.

Survey on Systematic Analysis of Deep Learning Models Compare to Machine Learning
Authors: Degadwala Dr. Sheshang Degadwala , Degadwala Dhairya Vyas
Published: June 2024

This survey provides a comprehensive analysis of the systematic differences and advancements between deep learning (DL) and traditional machine learning (ML) models. By examining a wide array of research papers, the study highlights the unique strengths and applications of both methodologies. Deep learning, with its multi-layered neural networks, excels in handling large, unstructured datasets, making significant strides in image and speech recognition, natural language processing, and complex pattern recognition tasks. Conversely, traditional machine learning models, which rely on feature extraction and simpler algorithms, remain highly effective in structured data scenarios such as classification, regression, and clustering problems. The survey elucidates the criteria for choosing between DL and ML, focusing on factors like data size, computational resources, and specific application requirements. Furthermore, it discusses the evolving landscape of hybrid models that integrate DL and ML techniques to leverage the strengths of both approaches. This analysis provides valuable insights for researchers and practitioners aiming to deploy the most suitable AI models for their specific needs, emphasizing the importance of contextual understanding in the rapidly advancing field of artificial intelligence.
Starlink Satellite Project in A Developing Country
Authors: Vivek Reddy Gadipally
Published: June 2024

SpaceX and Elon Musk are leading a long-term initiative called Starlink to solve inequities in rural broadband Internet access.In order to provide constant, high-speed Internet access worldwide, the project aims to launch thousands of smallsat-class satellites into low Earth orbit (LEO) as a component of a mega constellation. SpaceX thinks that by utilizing shallow orbits, their technology may surpass the competition. Starlink assures its clients of reduced latency and improved connection quality in contrast to conventional geosynchronous satellite Internet infrastructure (Walker & Elliott, 2021). The purpose of this study is to look at how the Thai public views the Starlink satellite project. An online survey was employed to gather data from a convenience sample of 1,258 people in Thailand, using a quantitative methodology. To analyze the data, binary regression analysis was done. The results showed that factors such as gender, age, computer, laptop, tablet, wearable device, length of Internet use, mobile Internet, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube could all be used to characterize how the public in Thailand felt about the Starlink Satellite project.The major reason is Starlink needs to come up with a clever plan to encourage customers to adopt satellite Internet in nations where fiber Internet is more readily available and reasonably priced.

Understanding Agrarian Reform in Colombia: The Story from a Field Visit during the International Land Grabbing Conference 2024
Authors: Sinaga Randa Putra Kasea , Saragih Mujahid Widian
Published: June 2024

During the International Land Grabbing Conference 2024 in Colombia, the authors had the opportunity to visit two sites of agrarian reform struggle in the Department of Cundinamarca, where efforts to curb land grabbing are being implemented: the San Joaquín Farm in the municipality of Puerto Salgar, and the Zona Reservo Campesino in the municipality of Venecia. Given the long-standing history of agrarian issues in Colombia and the hopeful political will of the current Colombian president, it is intriguing to discuss the authors' findings from this field visit to understand the achievements in the implementation of agrarian reform in Colombia, as well as the challenges faced in resolving agrarian issues confronted by farmers and rural communities. Based on observations, it is evident that the success of agrarian reform implementation relies on the political will of the government and efforts to involve farmer organizations, as well as addressing policy barriers. A state-centered approach, with the involvement of social actors such as farmer organizations and NGOs, can overcome structural and institutional obstacles. Furthermore, sustainable livelihoods for farmers must be prioritized, considering the cultural and historical context of the farmers and the need for balanced resource management with a subjective approach to agricultural organization, which can facilitate farmer regeneration and the success of agrarian reform in Colombia.

"The Spaces in Between": Exploring Second-generation Youth Identity: A Case Study of Bangladeshi-Canadian Youth in Toronto
Authors: Ahmed Rezwana
Published: June 2024

This study explores the experiences of second-generation Bangladeshi-Canadian youth when it comes to identity construction and their sense of belongingness. Through interviews with three Bangladeshi-Canadian youth (ages, 18-24), this study sought out to answer the primary research questions: (i) What elements of their social identities are important to the secondgeneration Bangladeshi-Canadian youth in the GTA? (ii) Do they identify with hybrid or hyphenated identities? (iii) To what extent does discrimination or exclusion either from the Bangladeshi or Canadian community influences the formation of their identities? The analysis suggests that Bangladeshi-Canadian youth identify with a hyphenated identity in which they have constructed through several influences they have experienced inside of their homes and ethnic cultures, and outside within the dominant Canadian society. Youths' hybrid identities exemplify their skilled abilities to navigate between two dominant cultures, shifting their identities when necessary, and creating their own definitions of identity in the spaces between.
The Experiences of Black First-generation Immigrant Youth Integrating Into the Ontario Education System
Authors: Boissiere Kimberly
Published: June 2024

The experiences of Black first-generation immigrant youth tend to go unnoticed or can be clumped among Black youth as a whole, diminishing the uniqueness of these individuals' experiences. This research study aimed to highlight the voices of Black first-generation immigrant youth and discuss why their experiences of integration within the Ontario education system differ from Black youth as a whole. Within this research study, 6 Black first-generation immigrant youth in the GTA area were asked a series of questions about their integration into the Ontario educational system. Focusing on teachers, classmates, and school life entirely, each participant discussed positive and negative factors that affected their integration into the Ontario education system. Within the findings presented, the theoretical frameworks of critical race theory and anti-Black racism were used to highlight the issue of colourblindness within our academic institutions, the importance of Black representation among students and academic faculty, and highlight the need to promote and focus on Black immigrant youth success within our academic institutions.

Authors: Goolab Nadira
Published: June 2024

This MRP explores the interconnected legal, economic, and social vulnerabilities faced by Mexican Seasonal Agricultural Workers in Canada, before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using a systematic literature review and two interviews with migrant organizations, this paper explores how the policies of the SAWP foster these vulnerabilities. While providing workers with access to P.R. would be helpful, using labour market segmentation theory, the discussion section of this paper explores how the reconstruction of the agricultural sector has grown in its reliance on temporary migrant labour to enhance labour productivity. As a result, these factors have created legal, economic, and social vulnerabilities for Mexican SAWP workers. KEYWORDS: 
Towards Proprioceptive Storytelling: Unfolding Perceptual Narrative Structures In a VR Documentary
Authors: McGregor Nikole
Published: June 2024

This research-creation project explores how virtual reality's influence on the body's proprioception can enrich a film's relational performance beyond visual and auditory rhetoric toward the transmission of embodied signification. The paper provides an overview of the creation of the expanded documentary Homeland ofAliens, which uses a perception-based narrative enabled by virtual reality's aesthetic and phenomenological affordances.As aesthetic concepts connect to notions of perception, taste, and feeling, the paper includes a framework for virtual aesthetics articulated through existing analyses of aesthetics. Virtual reality can effectively build a world of narrative that relies upon perception since signification forms within the viewer, who must dwell in their resources of embodied emotion, building a relationship with imagery, dreams, and memory. This research engages with its inquiry not only as a way of producing but as a way of experiencing knowledge.
Screening (Im)materiality: On Virtually Programming Planetary Ruins & Other Possibilities

This project-paper considers the practice of screening moving images in a digital context, through a critical examination of programming planetary ruins & other possibilities (2022) an online, international film program of five experimental film works that explore the ecological and geological as forms of media, archival sites, and spaces for speculative mapping. I situate my own account of organizing a film exhibition in broader literature on film programming and screen cultures, while also contextualizing my practice of programming within a larger framework of research-creation pedagogy. In retracing the steps of the programming process, I ultimately consider how moving image art is mediated by a digital interface, reflecting on what happens when an exhibition moves away from the physical space of the gallery to the hybrid virtual and often domestic space(s) of our phones, our laptops, and our homes.
Interrogating Authenticity: Understanding East Asian Female Pop Music in the Western Cultural Sphere
Authors: Ng Man Chuen Caitlyn
Published: June 2024

This thesis explores the connection between East Asian female pop music artists and inauthenticity in Anglo-Western popular culture. It embarks on a two-step mixed method analysis to provide both breadth and depth to this research project, analyzing songs and music videos through a content analysis and critical discourse analysis. Specifically, it foregrounds the understanding of these artists as inauthentic against a broad tradition of authenticity in Western art and specifically in Western music to understand how these artists are perceived to be inauthentic. Focusing on a contemporary period, it explores how popular music interacts with the Western cultural imagination, interrogating how racial and gender dynamics contribute to understandings of authenticity. Also integral to this study is a consideration of technology and how technological developments have had an impact on understandings of art.
Brutal Aesthetics and the Visual Economy of Digital Black Death
Authors: Hunter-Young Nataleah
Published: June 2024

"Brutal Aesthetics and the Visual Economy of Digital Black Death" considers the social and cultural impacts of social media videos documenting anti-Black police brutality through the discursive interpretations of three Black visuals artists in Canada, the U.S., and South Africa. The interviewed artists--Anique Jordan, Cameron Granger, and Sethembile Msezane--are positioned within the study as both creative practitioners and theorists of visual communication. Our discussions act as entry points to analyze how this violent imagery has come to be installed in the everyday, accelerating a globalizing naturalization of anti-Black state violence. Guided by the work of Caribbean theorist Sylvia Wynter, this dissertation considers what each artist's creative text does rather than what it can be interpreted to mean, a method for identifying how these artworks act visually on the audience-spectator already attuned to the mundane violence of white supremacy. This SSHRC CGS and Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation funded research project extends the work of critical aesthetic theory to read the ways the accelerated naturalization of anti-Black state violence via state-corporate digital media surveillance works on popular perception to make Black death make sense. In evaluation of the imagery's visual and political economies, this project identifies what we can learn by studying the aesthetics of everyday life and what artists can teach us about how to look differently.

Cyberculture/Cyberspace as a Mode of Transmission of Cultures, Identities and Power Relations: A Theoretical Perspective
Authors: Bennis Mohammed
Published: June 2024

The sweeping rise of new technologies has allowed for the normalization of digital tools and devices as powerful modes of communication and transmission of cultures, lifestyles, languages, texts, and power relations. Communication has definitely and irreversibly taken on a new turn/trajectory in cyberspace, where people have transferred their offline activities, experiences, interactions, and socialization. Cyberspace is a vast, open, and malleable space that gives momentum to human communication and velocity to the multi-layered process of transmission. Cyberspace, as an electronic and digital landscape, is widely used to create, share, and transmit information. It also contributes to storing information to enhance and extend human memory. The power dynamics of cyberspace manifest in its ability to extend human memory, empower communication, and globalize transmission. The fluid and constantly streaming aspect of cyberspace allows the free flow of ideas, texts, artefacts, knowledge, narratives, arts, cultural heritage, and identities, to cite but a few. By subsuming all these social, cultural, and epistemological actions, cyberspace has fostered a new culture, cyberculture. The French scholar Pierre Lévy defines cyberculture “as a set of material and intellectual techniques: practices, attitudes, modes of thinking and values that have developed alongside the growth of cyberspace. Understood as a synonym for ‘network,’ cyberculture offers a new medium of communication…” (Qtd. in Teixeira et al, 2017). Cyberspace provides multiple virtual platforms where various forms of culture are being stored and transmitted. Both cyberspace and cyberculture have become new digital paradigms that could be conceptualized as semiotic signifiers of the new society, hosting collective intelligence and providing electronic venues/spaces to empower/sustain local cultures and identities. The fact that cyberspace combines audio-visual, textual, and graphic materials can amply facilitate the transmission and the development of local and national cultures, oral or written. This paper is, then, a theoretical attempt at showcasing the potential of cyberspace and cyberculture to communicate, transmit, and empower local and national cultures and identities through the multiple platforms that digital technologies offer to the new society, which, at the same time, could reflect power relations.

Authors: Baquiran Shannen , Ignacio Ianthe Ysabel , Cua Jillian , Hernandez Marianna Sareen , Uy Raquel
Published: June 2024

An individual’s capability and capacity for interpersonal communication is heavily dependent on environmental, personal, and social factors. This study explores the effects of sex, parenting styles experienced, and attachment styles on the interpersonal communication competence of adolescents. A sample of 240 senior high school students from De La Salle University Integrated School Manila was selected through convenience sampling. Results reveal that adolescent senior high school students are above average in overall interpersonal communication competence. They are excellent in the emotional support dimension of ICC and above average in the initiation, negative assertion, disclosure, and conflict management dimensions. Sex, parenting styles of mothers and fathers, and attachment style have no significant effect on the initiation and negative assertion dimensions of ICC. However, sex has significant effects on the emotional support and conflict management dimensions of ICC. Data show that females are significantly better at emotional support and conflict management regardless of attachment style, except for adolescents with an anxious attachment style, where males are better than females at emotional support and conflict management. On the other hand, only sex has a significant effect on the overall ICC of adolescent senior high school students.

Authors: Tahir Muhammad Isah , Shaibu Alhassan Abdulkarim , Emmanuel Oyedokun Godwin
Published: June 2024

This study investigated the relationship between audit market concentration, auditor attributes, and audit quality of quoted consumer goods firms in Nigeria.  A purposive sampling technique was used to select five (5) quoted consumer goods firms that consistently published their annual reports from 2012 to 2020. Secondary data were sourced from annual reports of the selected quoted consumer goods in Nigeria. Data collected were analyzed using the pooled regression least square estimation technique. The result of the study revealed that audit market concentration exerts a positive and significant effect on the audit quality of quoted consumer goods firms in Nigeria.  The result also indicates that the auditor’s independence positively and significantly impacts audit quality. In contrast, the auditor’s tenure has an insignificant positive effect on the audit quality of quoted consumer goods firms in Nigeria. Based on these findings, this study concludes that audit market concentration and auditor attributes improve audit quality of consumer goods firms in Nigeria. The study, therefore, recommends that firms ensure frequent auditor rotation to limit the chances of auditor-client over-familiarity which will jeopardize independence and reduce audit quality.

Published: June 2024

A educação conforme o pensamento sociológico funcionalista é um fato social que proporciona benefícios diretos para com a organização da sociedade. No entanto, o processo educacional se depara com uma diversidade étnica que de certa forma foi construída no decorrer do tempo histórico, principalmente na realidade brasileira que três troncos étnicos foram diretamente os contribuintes para com a formação do povo brasileiro. Sobre a formação do povo brasileiro percebe-se que houve a contribuição de povos diversos, com isso nota-se a real existência do pluralismo cultural, tema que de certa maneira tem a contribuição de estudos sistemáticos de nomes como o do pesquisador Darcy Ribeiro. A escolha do tema se justifica mediante o estudo das Ciências Sociais terem em comum a análise da importância da cultural para com a compreensão da organização social, tendo o cenário educacional como pilar direto do entendimento e exposição dinâmica da interação social. Dentre os objetivos específicos é necessário compreender a educação enquanto prática social em contribuição com a pluralidade cultural; assim como, identificar os elementos constitutivos do trabalho em comunidade, exemplo: conhecimento e resgate da cultura popular; e, entender como a diversidade sociocultural se notabiliza com implicações no processo de formação e prática docente. Para viabilizar o presente artigo a pesquisa é bibliográfica de caráter qualitativo em que obras de escritores e pesquisadores do assunto foram utilizadas como base para a fundamentação teórica.
QUANDO A IGREJA SE REÚNE EM CASA: A COMPREENSÃO DO ESPAÇO SAGRADO DAS IGREJAS EM LARES
Authors: SANTOS FILHO CHRISTOVAM REIS DOS
Published: June 2024

Por meio dos estudos da geografia cultural que trata dos fenômenos espaciais pela apreensão dos significados, propomos fazer uma análise da religião. A discussão que se insere articula uma interpretação entre o espaço sagrado e as igrejas em lares, grupos que não utilizam locais previamente construídos para prática religiosa, mas antes adotam os lares como pontos de encontro e as assembleias se constituem essenciais para a fluência do sagrado. Nosso objetivo é a apreensão teórica da manifestação do sagrado em uma espacialidade vivida pelas as igrejas em lares. Tomamos como abordagem metodológica um olhar interpretativo de textos expoentes sobre o tema, bem como documentos elaborados por pessoas que defendem tal modo de vivenciar o sagrado. Assim, entendemos que estes grupos possuem um discurso de divergência acerca do espaço sagrado em relação às instituições tradicionais, pois aquelas não adotam o tripé denominacional utilizadas por estas, uma vez que combatem o uso de templos, de sacerdotes religiosos e de dízimos em suas práticas cristãs. Desse modo, o espaço sagrado das igrejas em lares adota uma sacralidade fluida, advinda da efemeridade dos encontros em grupo. Palavras-chave: Espaço sagrado. Igrejas em lares. Tripé denominacional.

O trabalho de campo na Geografia é fundamental para se fazer investigação e análises de diversas áreas de estudo, a fim de chegar a novos resultados. A prática é essencial, tanto no ensino, quanto na pesquisa e na extensão. Sabendo-se da relevância das realizações de trabalho de campo, surgiram as seguintes indagações: qual é a produção geográfica a respeito dos trabalhos de campo? Quais são as principais referências que contribuem com a reflexão acerca dos trabalhos de campo? Onde estão os autores que escrevem sobre os trabalhos de campo e quais são as redes que se estabelecem a partir deles? Em meio à diversidade de pesquisas em busca de tais questionamentos, o presente artigo objetiva identificar as produções da Geografia a respeito dos trabalhos de campo, considerando, a partir de parâmetros consolidados de avaliação (Qualis/CAPES), o escopo teórico de pesquisa com qualidade A1 em periódicos produzidos pelos programas de pós-graduação em Geografia no Brasil. Na realização da pesquisa, estabeleceram-se alguns recortes, com a exclusão dos artigos que não continham palavras delimitadas. No segundo recorte, investigou-se do que tratava o conteúdo dos artigos, com análise dos resumos/abstracts, sendo dividido em três categorias: artigos informativos, artigos descritivos e artigos analíticos. Para o recorte da amostra, desenvolveu-se a análise com 28 artigos, com a produção de gráficos, nuvem de palavras, mapas e tabelas. Os resultados concluíram que diversas são as maneiras de analisar sobre como e o que se produz nos trabalhos de campo, levando a concluir que muito ainda se pode desenvolver de reflexões de trabalho de campo dentro da ciência geográfica.
POR UMA GEOGRAFIA DAS TERRITORIALIDADES E DAS TEMPORALIDADES: UMA CONCEPÇÃO MULTIDIMENSIONAL VOLTADA PARA A COOPERAÇÃO E PARA O DESENVOLVIMENTO TERRITORIAL
Authors: Passos Claudio Farias
Published: June 2024

A obra “Por uma geografia das territorialidades e das temporalidades: uma concepção multidimensional voltada para cooperação e para o desenvolvimento territorial”, 2ª edição ano 2015 e 164p., veio “esclarecer algumas confusões” – como destaca o autor, professor Marcos Aurélio Saquet – feitas a partir da leitura da primeira edição. Tem o prefácio escrito por Claude Raffestin que se diz lisonjeado pois, ao ler a obra percebeu que Saquet vem mantendo-se firme na compreensão do Território como “produto que os homens se dão para viver sobre e com a terra ou ainda, em outras palavras, é a prisão que eles se constroem” (p.11). O livro é composto por uma expressiva introdução, seguida por cinco capítulos os quais apresentam o entendimento de Saquet – a partir da investigação das obras de diversos autores brasileiros e estrangeiros que se debruçaram ao estudo do território, das territorialidades e as temporalidades, bem como, seus “produtos e criações".
REPRESENTAÇÕES DO ESPAÇO RURAL BRASILEIRO NA TELEVISÃO: O CASO DO PROGRAMA GLOBO RURAL
Authors: Hübner Renata
Published: June 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar representações sociais do rural brasileiro em notícias veiculadas pelo programa Globo Rural. O papel das noticiais e discursos desta mídia para a construção de representações sociais ligadas ao campo é discutido a partir da Teoria das Representações Sociais, de Moscovici, e da perspectiva da Geografia das Representações. Metodologicamente, analisou-se quatro reportagens veiculadas pelo jornal entre os meses de setembro e outubro de 2020. As reportagens analisadas majoritariamente apresentam uma faceta do espaço rural brasileiro caracterizada pela grande propriedade, emprego de maquinário e tecnologia, e pela monocultura ou pecuária moderna. O texto e as imagens das reportagens, através dos processos de ancoragem e objetivação, criam e reforçam representações sociais do espaço rural brasileiro como locus de produção capitalista integrada ao mercado global e de progresso econômico. Tais representações sociais, que circulam nos universos consensuais tanto no campo quanto na cidade, criam imagens e representações do espaço que invisibilizam outras formas de produção e de existência no espaço rural brasileiro.

Published: June 2024

A pandemia da COVID-19 ocasionou impactos significativos na saúde pública global e, em consequência, em diversos setores da economia, sendo a atividade turística uma das mais afetadas. Nesse contexto, este trabalho objetiva identificar os impactos no turismo dos municípios de São Luís, Barreirinhas e Tutóia, além das ações de enfrentamento no setor. Metodologicamente, este estudo qualitativo, de caráter descritivo e exploratório, foi construído a partir de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, e entrevistas semiestruturadas com gestores do turismo realizadas entre novembro de 2020 e março de 2021. As reflexões se ampararam na análise de conteúdo. Os resultados apontam que os impactos principais envolvem queda nos fluxos turísticos, redução/interrupção nas vendas, desemprego e falência de empresas. Em termos das estratégias adotadas, foram verificadas medidas governamentais apoiadas em decretos e leis, além das sob a responsabilidade direta dos empresários, a exemplo da adoção de protocolos sanitários e comunicação com o cliente amparada em tecnologias. A retomada tem nas contribuições governamentais, por meio de políticas públicas, a sua maior aliada.Palavras-chave: Covid-19. Crise. Estratégias de enfrentamento. Polos turísticos. Maranhão.
OS CENTROS E AS CENTRALIDADES DA REGIÃO URBANA DE BELÉM
Authors: Soares Mendes Luiz Augusto
Published: June 2024

Neste artigo, busca-se demonstrar as centralidades dos bairros centrais das sete cidades que constituem a Região Metropolitana de Belém (RMB), a partir de dados quantitativos e qualitativos. Espaços urbanos que passam por processos de ressignificações que decorrem da disponibilidade de unidades habitacionais no formato condominial que estão transformando essa região urbana, sobretudo, quanto à disponibilidade de comércios e serviços, situados em cinco classes de atividades econômicas: saúde, lazer, gastronomia, administração e educação. Quanto ao caráter qualitativo das centralidades, foram identificados os tipos de serviços e o público a que se destinam, logo, que os consomem. Como metodologia, aplicaram-se algumas técnicas de investigação como: a observação sistemática, a coleta de dados em empresas públicas e privadas, a aplicação de questionários e a análise empírica.  Obtendo-se, assim, como um dos principais resultados, a ideia de que as centralidades e as reestruturações urbanas que foram identificadas na RMB decorrem da reestruturação de um setor imobiliário em franca expansão.
AS CULTURAS JUVENIS E A ESCOLA: a relação entre a Batalha do Vale e a educação dos jovens de Presidente Prudente
Authors: Salvi Bruno Fantin , Carvalhaes Júlia Crovador
Published: June 2024

O presente artigo busca relacionar os saberes que são acionados na vida dos jovens em espaços não formais de educação, fora da escola, com os conteúdos que a escola se propõe a ensinar, bem como analisar a relação da escola com a realidade vivida dos alunos. Foram abordados jovens que estão envolvidos em coletivos juvenis, especialmente o Hip Hop, através do Coletivo Batalha do Vale, em Presidente Prudente. Também foram abordados profissionais da educação que pudessem nos dar uma visão a respeito da relação da escola com alunos-jovens. A construção deste texto é baseada nas pesquisas dos autores, que abordaram o tema a partir de duas entradas diferentes: da cultura juvenil para a escola e da escola para a cultura juvenil. Tratamos então dos impasses e dificuldades que a instituição escolar tem de dialogar com os jovens contemporâneos, fazendo-o com que se engajem nos estudos dos conteúdos, mostrando então como o Hip Hop pode ser uma estratégia para essa aproximação.

Inclusive Postsecondary Education for People with Intellectual Disabilities: Teaching Methodologies and Practices of Translating Rights into Practice
Authors: Maxwell Nicola , O’Callaghan Elaine , Leane Máire
Published: June 2024

Article 24 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) forms the cornerstone of the right to “inclusive education”, outlining in subsection 1 that, States “shall ensure an inclusive education system at all levels” (2006).  The Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities has stated that inclusion “involves a process of systemic reform embodying changes and modifications in content, teaching methods, approaches, structures and strategies in education” (2016, [11]). However, this right to inclusive education has not been realised in any systematic way for students with intellectual disabilities (ID) in Postsecondary education (PSE). This article will (1) explore the right to inclusive education for people with disability established under the CRPD (2) review existing research on pedagogies and practices for teaching students with ID in PSE models in Ireland, Canada, the US and Australia,  (3) describe how a rights-based PSE programme was developed in an Irish university (UCC), and (4) argue that critical reflection, documentation and sharing of pedagogies and practices of rights-based PSE is key to development and dissemination of practice insights in this emergent field of education.
Reflexões sobre fascismo, integralismo e bolsonarismo
Authors: Costa Frederico Jorge Ferreira , Costa Pereira Karla Raphaella
Published: June 2024

De metodologia teórico-bibliográfica, o presente artigo analisa a natureza do neofascismo no mundo, confrontando diferentes teses sobre esse fenômeno com a clássica posição de Leon Trotsky em relação a essência do fascismo como força política. Expõe também a reflexão deste importante teórico e militante sobre o fascismo italiano e alemão das décadas de 1920 e 1930. A título de atualidade, indica os pontos de contato entre o fascismo e dois movimentos de extrema direita no Brasil, o integralismo da década de 1930 e o bolsonarismo da atualidade. Aponta, à guisa de conclusão, a possibilidade de retorno efetivo de modalidades da extrema direita, em especial do fascismo, no Brasil e no mundo. Compreender é urgente para combater o fascismo.
Competition and competitive environment from the view of the Austrian school
Authors: Zhuk Aleksander A. , Vaganov Anton A.
Published: June 2024

A deep multifaceted study of the modern industry market's competitive environment is impossible to imagine without analyzing its qualitative and quantitative parameters, which represent a single integrated whole. When forming its own methodological approach to the decomposition of the market's competitive environment, each researcher faces the need to choose a relevant toolkit that meets the challenges of its current state. Usually, the works of modern authors, who are the followers of the institutional approach, are devoted to the analysis of the markets' competitive environment. Their works pay attention to the institutional structure of the competitive environment, as well as to the quantitative parameters of market agents' functioning. Nevertheless, in order to analyze the evolution of the competitive environment it is necessary to understand its previous states, as well as the scientific categorical apparatus through the prism of which the predecessors looked at it due to the modern socio-economic processes taking place at that time, as well as the discussion that took place in economic science in this or that period. The aim of the research is to analyze and compare the concepts of competition of representatives of the Austrian school. The object of the study is the theoretical concept of competition and competitive environment. The subject of the study is the evolution of the interpretation of these categories by the representatives of the Austrian school. The gap in the detailed understanding of the presence or absence of a coherent concept of competitive environment in some areas of economic science prompted us to turn to the works of representatives of the Austrian school in order to form a clear understanding of their vision of the competitive forces and the definition of the market competitive environment. Our research allowed systematizing and classifying the disparate opinions of the school's representatives into a single concept, which, in our opinion, opens up prospects for further research.
