Authors: Wijatmoko Taufiq Effendy , Siregar Maria Ulfah
Published: April 2020

Regional Office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights DIY organizes a variety of public services using information technology, including correctional services, immigration services, general legal administration services, intellectual property services, communication services, data and information services, and other administrative services. None of these services can be separated from the role of information technology to provide services that are fast, cheap, effective and reliable to the public. This study was conducted to assess the quality Ministry of Law and Human Rights DIY e-Government service using e-GovQual dimensional framework as a best practice. This study includes quantitative research involving a number of respondents for the survey. Research questions are based on the dimensions of e-Govqual and represent the attributes of each dimension of e-GovQual to assess the quality of Ministry of Law and Human Rights DIY e-Government service. The question must pass the validation test using Cronbach’s α. The processing of data using confirmatory factor analysis to obtain the main factors that affect each of the dimensions of e-GovQual. The Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) method helps e-GovQual to measure the level of importance and level of performance of each e-GovQual attribute by classifying it in the Cartesian quadrants, which can help ensure the quality of e-Government services according to the needs and expectations of citizens as service user. Values in IPA (concentrating here, keeping up the good work, low priority, and possible overkill) will be the value of quality e-Government services. The results of this study are expected to give priority as a recommendation for Information and Communication Technology to the development of e-Government services in order to improve service quality.
Using Principal Component Analysis for Factor Analysis in Indonesian Automotive Industries
Authors: Hamida Ulil
Published: April 2020

Policies related to the automotive industry have become significant for the Ministry of Industry. The problem in determining these policies is the determination of important factors for the automotive industry so that the policies formulated are right on target. The search for these important factors can be done by using the factor analysis method. So far, no studies have been conducted to examine the factors that influence the growth of the automotive industry. In this study, factor analysis is performed on factors in the automotive industry using the principal component analysis algorithm. The algorithm seeks to describe independently the aspects that become the main factors in determining the automotive industry. Based on an analysis of factors in the automotive industry production, the most influential factors are foreign investment, vehicle ownership ratios, and at last the change in GDP.

Published: April 2020

El presente artículo, de carácter investigativo con razonamiento inductivo y pa-radigma empírico-analítico, evalúa la relación existente entre el producto interno bruto per cápita (PIB per cápita) y el dióxido de carbono (CO2) en los grupos de países de América Latina y el Caribe, que son considerados como economías en desarrollo en un periodo de análisis comprendido entre 1960 y 2011. Se utilizó la prueba de raíz unitaria Dickey-Fuller aumentada (DFA), se generó un modelo de vectores autorregresivos (VAR), se realizó la prueba de causalidad de Granger y se desarrolló la prueba de cointegración de Johansen. Los resultados demues-tran la no estacionariedad de las variables en estudio, se obtuvo un modelo VAR de dos variables con un número de rezagos óptimo de catorce [(VAR2(14)] al cual se le realizó la prueba de causalidad demostrando una bidireccionalidad por parte del PIB per cápita al CO2 y viceversa; dicho resultado fue corroborado esta-bleciendo que las variables se mueven conjuntamente a lo largo del tiempo y las diferencias entre ellas son estables, ya que al menos existe un vector o relación de cointegración.

Excavating theory in teacher evaluation: Implementing evaluation frameworks as Wengerian boundary objects
Authors: King Kelley M. , Paufler Noelle A.
Published: April 2020

The purpose of this paper is to begin to excavate the unstated theoretical underpinnings of teacher evaluation systems as they exist in policy and practice and to explicitly consider how these evaluation systems might intersect theoretically with social learning theory. Research suggests that organizational leaders believe growth-based evaluation practices have yet-untapped potential to support teacher learning within teacher communities. However, models of teacher evaluation, as defined in federal and state policy and developed and implemented in practice, rarely make explicit the theoretical and conceptual frameworks upon which they are based. Further, evaluation models do not explicitly intersect with the conceptual frameworks for such learning, e.g., communities of practice (CoPs) and social learning theory. Rather, the role of teacher evaluation in social learning within and across educational organizations remains under-theorized. We argue for research examining potential connections in theory and practice between two existing conceptual frameworks: 1) social learning theory and 2) teacher evaluation systems (understood as policy, models, and practices).
Better integrating summative and formative goals in the design of next generation teacher evaluation systems
Authors: Ford Timothy G. , Hewitt Kim
Published: April 2020

In current teacher evaluation systems, the two main purposes of evaluation—accountability/goal accomplishment (summative) and professional growth/improvement (formative)—are often at odds with one another. However, they are not only compatible, but linking them within a unified teacher evaluation system may, in fact, be desirable. The challenge of the next generation of teacher evaluation systems will be to better integrate these two purposes in policy and practice. In this paper, we integrate the frameworks of Self-determination theory and Stronge’s Improvement-Oriented Model for Performance Evaluation. We use this integrated framework to critically examine teacher evaluation policy in Hawaii and Washington, D.C.—two distinctly different approaches to teacher evaluation—for the purposes of identifying a set of clear recommendations for improving the design and implementation of teacher evaluation policy moving forward.
Moving forward while looking back: Lessons learned from teacher evaluation litigation concerning Value-Added Models (VAMs)
Authors: Paige Mark
Published: April 2020

The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) appears to offer states and districts discretion to develop teacher evaluation policies, including those that may use Value Added Models (VAMs). While scholars are discussing this flexibility, limited attention has been paid to the potential role of the law in connection with the future use of VAMs in evaluation policy. While VAMs may be declining in use, several states require or permit them, making the continued assessment relevant. Moreover, given that VAMs were at the center of numerous high-profile lawsuits, assessing litigation outcomes in the context of ESSA is a useful exercise, particularly for jurisdictions that may use (or contemplate their use) of VAMs. Toward this end, this paper applies legal research methods and a law and policy framework to review lawsuits concerning VAMs to distill key principles for state and local policymakers.
LEARNING IN HIGHER EDUCATION OF THE XXI CENTURY: THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY HAS CHANGED THE SCENARIO OF LEARNING PROCESSES OR ONLY GAVE THE APPEARANCE OF MODERNITY?
Authors: Tiziotto Simone Aparecida , Cazarini Edson Walmir
Published: April 2020

It is considered in the context of this article the growing scientific development, fast and complex contemporary society, the profile of the students of the 21st century and, consequently, the demands of Higher Education arising from this reality. The objective of this study is to identify and analyze whether the use of ICT and the resources derived from them have resulted in effective changes in the formal scenario of the teaching and learning processes of Higher Education or only offer an appearance of updating. The research carried out is a systematic review of the literature, in which key words were searched in journals indexed with scientific databases relevant to the scientific community, which allowed the identification of practices related to the requirements prioritized in the analysis proposed from published articles in scientific. 62 articles were selected from a primary sample of 450 located from a systematic search process. We present the public that compose the main sample groups of the revised works, the percentage of intentional and occasional learning in them, the types of practices and resources most used and the resources most used for the formal learning processes in Higher Education. It is highlighted if the existence of practices related to the informational construction of knowledge is still present but demonstrating a strong tendency towards more formative practices of knowledge construction. The results showed a complex scenario of apparent transition, in which most of the research is quantitative, focused on the protagonism of the students (learning processes) and highlights the heterogeneity and update of
technological resources to promote the teaching and learning processes of different contents, methodologies and strategies. Although informative practices and occasional learning outcomes are still present, the emphasis is placed on the predominance, on an ascending scale, of formative, intentional, and propositional practices. Also on a growing scale it is observed that the methodologies and strategies used, which use ICT, are promoting changes in the teaching and learning processes, since the traditional contents appear permeated or accompanied by several skills and competences identified as closer to the student of the 21st century.
TEOREMA DE PITÁGORAS E O FRACTAL ÁRVORE PITAGÓRICA: UM EXPERIMENTO NO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL
Authors: Leivas José Carlos Pinto , Bettin Anne Desconsi Hasselmann
Published: April 2020

This article approaches a qualitative research that had as objective to use some notions of euclidean geometry of students of a nineth year of Elementary School to realize the need to know some aspects of fractal geometry to understand the world in which they live. As a teaching methodology was used Van Hiele Theory for the development of reasoning in geometry with the software Geogebra in the construction of the fractal Pythagorean Tree. The students realized activities of classification of geometric figures and elements of nature, that allowed them to group them in properties or characteristics in two geometries and, with exploration of the photography resource, it was possible, for example, to identify the self-similarity characteristic of the fractal objects. The results of the research showed the efficiency of the Van Hiele Theory and Geogebra in the understanding of properties of the two geometries, in particular, on the Pythagorean theorem.

Published: April 2020

This article consists of the investigation of the entrepreneurial teaching practices and protagonists, developed by the Pedagogy course of a Higher Education Institution of the countryside of Rio Grande do Sul / BR, as well as its implications in the actions of the students of the respective course. The study follows the qualitative approach, the research instrument being the semistructured interview with the students who work in the literacy cycle. The information collected was analyzed according to the technique of Content Analysis, proposed by Bardin (2012). It was tried to verify not only how the course promotes the protagonism and the entrepreneurial spirit in its students, but also to present what in fact the academic formation contributes to the (re) construction of autonomous professionals, entrepreneurs and protagonists, able to diagnose, propose and evaluate solutions to problems. The research showed that, according to the interviewees, the course of Pedagogy stimulates the protagonist thinking and entrepreneurship in its students, mainly in the disciplines from the fourth semester, because they are more practical and less theoretical in relation to the beginning of the course. The interviewees also stressed the importance of the course to extend practical activities in the disciplines, better preparing the student for the performance of the profession, after training. It was also verified that these pedagogical practices developed in the course have a direct impact on the professional performance of students during the graduation.

Published: April 2020

The strengthening of technical education in Brazil, by the creation of the Federal Institutes (Law 11.892/2008), brings a new and growing reality for Spanish teachers: the challenge of working in an educational context whose proposal is based on vertical integration. In this scenario, a teacher can teach at different levels of education (from Secondary Education to Postgraduate Education) at the same institution. The aim of this paper is to describe the context of teaching Spanish in secondary technical courses, in the integrated, concomitant and sequential modalities, at two campuses of a Federal Institute in the south of Brazil. Furthermore, reflections on some specifics of this educational level in Vocational and Technological Education (VTE) and on the demands generated by such specifics are presented. The methodological approach adopted in this study is qualitative descriptive, since the research consists in describing aspects of a social environment (the institution, the school) with which the researcher is clearly interwoven. Our analysis is based on theoretical frameworks that address Language Policies, especially the educational ones (KAPLAN; BALDAUF, 1997; MENKEN; GARCÍA, 2010). The study deals with the aspects that should be considered when making decisions regarding the course planning, methodological choices and consequent development of teaching materials, as well as provides guidelines on how to handle the unique context of VTE.

The teachers training of Physical Education thematizes many debates and reflections of educational profile, political and epistemological. As a new mode in the initial training of physical education teachers , distance education ( DE ) raises old and new questions about the body culture at this time of teacher education. The main question in this article is: how is the process of pedagogical mediation in subjects related to bodily practices in Physical Education Courses through Distance Learning in Goiás? The goal of this research is to comprehend how the knowledge related to the subjects regard bodily practices occurs and it is mediated in the process of teaching and learning on Physical Education Courses through distance. A quanti-qualitative research was made using the method historical and dialectical material and also document analysis, observations, interviews, focus groups to collect information and submit them to a triangulation of data. The results indicate that the knowledge was poor of systematic knowledge and with little teaching time.
O SCRATCH e suas possibilidades pedagógicas no ensino de língua inglesa pela abordagem dos gêneros do discurso
Authors: Uchôa José Mauro Souza , Santos Aline Kieling Juliano Honorato
Published: April 2020

Language permeates all fields of human activity. Its use can be observed in the most ancient symbolic manifestations. With the rise of information and communication technologies, new language practices are experienced. They are types of statements organized by genres of discourse that have configurations according to the supports and the different fields of human activity. From a conception of language such as social practice and the notion of genre of Bakhtin’s circle, this article aims to present the multimodal elements that constitute Scratch, a digital tool used in the programming of narratives, games and multimedia animations, evidencing their pedagogical possibilities in the field of language teaching. For this, it dialogues with theoretical and methodological assumptions that guide the didactic modeling from genres as instruments of teaching, able to promote the development of action and linguistic-discursive capacities. The adoption of Scratch as a pedagogical resource motivates the authorship of content in digital environments and allows the development of digital literacy through language in practices.
Ambientes de aprendizagem, tecnologias digitais e formação inicial de professores
Authors: Monteiro Angélica , Barros Rita
Published: April 2020

Technological advances require a flexible curriculum adapted to the new realities and challenges imposed to society and to education, in particular to current and future teachers. The initial teachers training constitutes an initial opportunity for socialization with the teaching profession and, in this sense, has to meet the profile of the student of the XXI century. However, there is a mismatch between the approach and contents of digital technologies and the needs for integrated, comprehensive and articulated training, as referred to in the ICT competency framework (UNESCO, 2011), and the curriculum for teacher training in media literacy and information literacy (Wilson et al., 2013). The aim of this exploratory article is to contribute to the state of the art about learning environments using digital technologies in the initial teacher training (methodological options, resources, theoretical reference, ...) based on a systematic literature review of 17 recent articles (2016-2017) from different countries. The main results point to a tendency to value the "testing" and application of theoretical models and the use of certain new or innovative digital technologies through observations, open questionnaires and pre-defined scales. At the same time, it was verified that the personal and professional development aspects of the future teachers, as well as the pedagogical relation, are not the research paper’s privileged focus. This work allows to conclude that the research follows the trend of the contexts of practice of initial teacher training, in which there is a disarticulation between theory and educational practices using digital technologies in a contextualized and meaningful way.
Lecionação sem aulas? Questões de liberdade e segurança no modelo MAPE
Authors: Sousa Francisco , Palos Ana Cristina
Published: April 2020

In Portuguese language, the word aula (lecture) is etymologically rooted in the Greek word άυλή, which, in Ancient Greece, meant “courtyard” and suggested a balance between freedom and safety for nomadic shepherds and animals. Nowadays lectures are subject to huge restrictions in terms of time and space, which has strong implications for freedom and safety. However, the development of online instruction, especially in its asynchronous version, stimulates reflection on a possible recovery of the original meaning of άυλή, or even on the possibility of providing instruction without lectures, for asynchronous online instruction dilutes the work of instructors and students in time and space and naturally calls for students’ active participation in the educational process. Accordingly, after some reflections on the concept of άυλή, and on its relation with the concepts of freedom and safety, we report an empirical study, which was aimed at understanding how some teachers, who were attending teacher education courses, viewed asynchronous online learning. Considering that the participants had been exposed to MAPE model, they commented, in the context of interviews, some aspects of online learning in general and specific aspects of that same model, especially aspects that could be related to issues of freedom and safety. The findings of the study suggest that the participants acknowledge that MAPE model, overall, allows for much freedom and safety, despite the fact that some of them stated that they did not feel so safe with regard to some specific aspects.
SOM E FÉ: DA PRÁTICA COMUNITÁRIA RELIGIOSA PARA A COMPLEXIDADE DO PENSAMENTO MUSICAL ERUDITO DO ÚLTIMO QUARTEL DO SÉC. XX
Authors: Postiga José Luís
Published: April 2020

When faced with the artistic-musical concepts developed in the second half of the twentieth century, it is common to observe them from the perspective of the scientific advances they have promoted or resulted from, the abstract organizations in which they are based, the aesthetic principles they create or and almost always fall within the individuality of the interpretation present in the creative act and its representativeness, regardless of the support in which it presents itself. Paradoxically, some of the main classical musical works written in the last quarter of the twentieth century resulted from the musicological study and/or musical representation of concepts, rites, religious practices representative of different cultures of the West and especially the East. In this sense, throughout the present article will be addressed works by composers of Western classical music, such as the case of Jonathan Harvey and Tristan Murail, characteristics of the musical currents that fit, from serialism to spectralism, as well as acoustic and electronic casts, which result. reinterpretations of religious practices of Hinduism and Buddhism, as well as sound behaviors of the communicative practice of peoples, such as the songs and instruments of Tibet and Mongolia.
MÚSICA CONTEMPORÂNEA: DA ERUDIÇÃO DO PENSAMENTO À MASSIFICAÇÃO DO ENSINO
Authors: Santos Sandra Cristina Costa
Published: April 2020

More than a hundred years have passed since Arnold Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire debut or Igor Stravinsky's Spring Rite, about seventy separate us from the time when John Coltrane “liberated” jazz with freestyle, and there is still talk. of these creations as being “contemporary” understood only by 'experts', even within the professional music class. In a society that lives in a spiral of information accessed almost in real-time, taking advantage of the answers to the knowledge that are at a distance from a smartphone connected to the network, we propose a short-term curriculum organization that focuses on: art as a factor of human affirmation; the concurrent participation of different disciplinary manifestations in the construction of the artistic object; the direct and / or indirect involvement of the social condition in which the work is created; their individual interpretation and aesthetic understanding. Above all, the aim is to demystify creative processes and promote educational policies that promote the inter and transdisciplinarity of educational development.

Since man is a man, history has been responsible for showing the progress of life in society and, analyzing the foundations of education, one can understand the advances and setbacks in the segments that support it. One must remember the importance and meaning of education to realize it”s contribution to people in particular and to humanity in general. For women, education is a great example of building for citizenship. Female empowerment and its entire universe overlap with the history of education, with the infinite property through the consolidation of social struggles and female resistance to what was imposed by society. The march of women made the role of education multiply in the face of more varied realities, whether in the rural environment or in the urban environment, in the most different spaces. It is known that the motivation for the search for knowledge in the circumstances in which women lived in the past was decisive for being the provocateur of women's empowerment, because it is a right for all, in the journey of the whole social force, family, religion, politics, culture, and work. In what was proposed by the advent of the role in the life of women, it is perceived that the force linked to power, wanting to learn have become more accessible to women and this development throughout life marks the vicissitudes that education manifested in the life of each individual.
CONTRIBUTO DAS ONG DE SÃO TOMÉ E PRÍNCIPE NA FORMAÇÃO EM EDUCAÇÃO AMBIENTAL: PERCEÇÃO DA POPULAÇÃO

Published: April 2020

Sao Tome and Principe is a country facing several environmental problems, including overexploitation of resources, waste treatment, soil erosion, among others. It is in this context that various NGOs have developed actions in the field of environmental education (EA). For this study, we worked with three NGOs from Santos and our main objective is to know the perception of the population about the work developed by these NGOs, within the scope of EA. This work is qualitative, interpretative and descriptive in nature. For data collection, we used the semi-structured interview with elements of the communities in the NGO intervention area. We found that respondents were unwilling to collaborate and afraid to participate in the interview. We note that this situation is justified by the infrequent investigations of this nature being conducted in Sao Tome and Principe. The results show that the population recognizes the work that has been developed within the scope of EE, mainly in the change of practices by the inhabitants, and the acquisition of attitudes and behaviors compatible with sustainable development. They value the preservation and use of natural resources, the main sources of wealth in Sao Tome and Principe. They stress that the work done by NGOs has improved the quality of life and the economy of families. We conclude that the intervention of NGOs of environmental nature are fundamental and has developed several awareness actions and, thus, contribute to improving people's quality of life towards more sustainable development.
MANAGING THE HEALTH AND SAFETY LEGAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL RAMIFICATIONS OF COVID-19: AN AUSTRALIAN MULTIDISCIPLINARY PERSPECTIVE
Authors: PHILLIPS PAUL , TITTERTON ALENA , TOOMA MICHAEL
Published: April 2020

COVID-19 represents unprecedented challenges for the entire community. Much of Australia’s commercial sector has voluntarily deployed strategies to support social distancing ahead of any lock downs. Businesses are working to safely maintain operations and a productive workforce throughout social isolation/distancing for an unknown duration. Yet uncertainty, ambiguity and radical change are breeding grounds for anxiety, stress and helplessness. Conditions that contradict safe mental health practices for work. The Australian perspective includes the cumulative stressors of the bushfires, torrential rains and floods. Each of these stressors was an environmental stressor. But people and businesses knew what to do. The newest cumulative stressor is remote work becoming the norm. Workplaces have often had a mediating effect as a point of social interaction. Legally mandated safe spaces that people could connect and be productive within. There is much research on the connection between social isolation and loneliness. Organisations need to support workers in maintaining social connections, team cohesion and productivity throughout these times. This paper will explore the health and safety legal obligations that apply in this context and outline a practical framework for organisations to contribute to and reinforce a positive state of mental health during the mass remote work experiment.
ASSUMPTIONS OF MAXIMAL INDIVIDUALISM IN THE TIME OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC: ETHICAL ASPECTS
Authors: BAUM EWA , ŻOK AGNIESZKA
Published: April 2020

Maximal individualism, which is currently a prevalent trend in the way many patients think, places high hopes in the achievements of biomedicine and assumes that everyone should always receive optimal medical care. Such an approach is in line with many normative and legal acts operating worldwide, including the Declaration of Human Rights. However, its feasibility and effectiveness in the time of the COVID-19 pandemic raises numerous ethical, social and economic dilemmas. The culture of prosperity and excess, characteristic of contemporary Western societies, makes it even more challenging to come to terms with this situation.

METHODOLOGY OF INFORMATION MONITORING AND DIAGNOSTICS OF OBJECTS REPRESENTED BY QUANTITATIVE ESTIMATES BASED ON CLUSTER ANALYSIS
Authors: Komleva Nataliia O. , Liubchenko Vira V. , Zinovatna Svitlana L.
Published: April 2020

The paper discusses the methodological foundations of informational diagnostics on the base of cluster analysis for the objects represented by quantitative estimates. The literature review showed that the application of cluster analysis in some cases was successful; also, the theory of cluster analysis is well developed, and the properties of methods and distance measures are studied, which indicates the appropriateness of using the cluster analysis apparatus. Therefore, the development of a general methodology to diagnose any objects represented by quantitative estimates is a topical task. The purpose of this work is to develop methodological bases for determining diagnostic states and behavioral patterns for objects represented by quantitative estimates on the base of cluster analysis. Because of informational diagnostics is a targeted activity on the assessment of object state based on a dynamic information model, the model of a diagnosis object is discussed first. We examine the lifecycle of instances of diagnosis objects that are described by a plurality of parameters whose values are determined by a time slice along the lifeline of the instance. It is shown that a different number of measured values characterize each state of the diagnosis object. There are identified characteristics that should be analyzed to indicate a threat to the instance and the need for supportive procedures to prevent premature interruption of an instance's lifecycle. Experts should carry out the formalization of conditions for termination of the life cycle of the diagnosis object and formation of the list of supporting procedures. Because the quality of any information technology depends on the input data quality, a procedure for the analysis of diagnostic characters is developed. In order to start the diagnosis as early as possible and apply the available data as fully as possible, the methodologies for one-, two- and N-step diagnosis are developed. All procedures used cluster order. Transition patterns are defined for the two-step diagnosis, as well as trend patterns are defined for the N-step diagnosis. Transition patterns allow diagnosing the improvement, worsening, or stability of the diagnosis object state. The procedure for the diagnostic characters analysis and the methodologies of diagnosis is new scientific results. The application of the developed methodologies is demonstrated in the example of diagnosing students' success. In this case, the curriculum provides the domain model. Examples of diagnosing states and behavior, as well as identifying recommended reactions, are provided. For one-step diagnostics, the presence of the influence of the latent factor and the diagnostic signs that show significant instability are investigated. For one- and two-step diagnostics, the conditions for forming a risk segment are provided.
CHANGING AND TRACING OF SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTSAT LEVEL OF CONCEPTUAL CLASSES
Authors: Novikova Nataliia O.
Published: April 2020

The article explores the problem of automating the description of Use Cases at the stage of forming requirements in the design of software products. Methods for correcting the model of conceptual classes in connection with changes in the formulation of various items of scenarios for Use Cases are proposed and tracing of each item of the Use Case scenario in conceptual classes and their methods and attributes. Changing requirements at the level of use cases description means deleting previously compiled items of the scenario and/or adding new ones. Deleting a Use Case is considered to be a consecutive deletion of all of its items, and editing a scenario item as a deletion followed by a new edition. The methods of removing all types of scenario items of the proposed classification in various possible situations are considered: the class created earlier was not used in other items of this or other use cases; the class created earlier was not used in other items of this or other use cases, but the function contained in the class has references to other functions; the class created earlier was used in other items of this or other use cases and the function contained in the class has no reference to other functions; the class created earlier was used in other items of this or other use cases and the function contained in the class has references to other functions. Methods have been developed for determining the relationships of Use Case and its item with classes, their methods and attributes that implement this item (direct tracing), and determining the relationship of any data element or class method with various Use Case and their items (reverse tracing). The proposed method for conceptual classes correcting allows automatic deleting various items in scenarios while maintaining the correct presentation of conceptual classes. It is shown that there is a significant reduction in time for correcting classes in an automated mode compared to the traditional manual mode. The tracing method also significantly reduces the time it takes to find the connections between the Use Case.

Published: April 2020

The article deals with the theoretical aspects of effective allocation of subsets of the valid options sets in technology making design decisions. As a result of analysis of the current state of the problem revealed that due to the combinatorial nature of most tasks synthesis number of alternative solutions dramatically increases with the dimension of design problems. The vast majority of options is ineffective. They can be improved at the same time on all the quality parameters. This leads to the need to develop methods for the isolation procedures subsets of effective design solutions tailored to the features of the original sets, as the complexity of the requirements and the accuracy of the solution. To meet the challenges of various dimensions on convex and non-convex set of feasible options to choose the exact and approximate methods based on pair-wise analysis of the options, theorems Karlin and Germeyer. To reduce the time complexity problem solutions proposed methods of pre-allocate a plurality of approximate methods effective solutions “sector” and “segment”. According to the analysis method estimates the computational complexity as a function of the dimension of the original set of alternatives and the amount of local optimization criteria established that the selection of sets of effective solutions of approximate the original set of alternatives at high power always is appropriate. This can significantly reduce the complexity of solving the decision-making tasks without loss of effective alternatives. The analysis time complexity methods revealed that the most efficient for large-scale problems is to use a scheme based on a modified method “segment”. The results are recommended to be used in the procedures for multifactor solutions in the design and management systems. Their use will improve the degree of automation of processes.

Objetivo: identificar las tendencias bibliométricas de los resúmenes publicados en las memorias del Encuentro Nacional de Investigación Odontológica (ENIO) de 2010 a 2017.Materiales y métodos: se realizó un análisis bibliométrico con todos los resúmenes compilados en las memorias mencionadas en el periodo de interés, excluyendo los trabajos presentados por el área de servicios, de estas se extrajo la información relacionada con el evento,  indicadores de actividad y colaboración; esta información se sistematizó y procesó en Excel; se calcularon medidas de resumen según la naturaleza de las variables, que se presentaron en textos, tablas y gráficos; las adunas se obtuvieron mediante las aplicaciones VantagePoint y VOSViewer. Resultados:  se identificaron 1135 resúmenes, la mayor proporción estaban registrados en el área clínica (43%).  El 2,8% de los trabajos provenían de instituciones internacionales, el 47,9% de instituciones ubicadas en Bogotá, y el 0,8% eran proyectos multicéntricos. El 11,2% de las investigaciones las realizó la Universidad El Bosque, el 10,7% la Universidad Nacional de Colombia, el 10,1% la Institución Universitaria Colegios de Colombia; la Universidad Santo Tomás aportó el 5,6%. Predominaron los estudios observacionales (48%) y estudios In vitro (24,9%).  La aduna muestra que los nodos con mayor número de autores los registra la Universidad el Bosque y con el menor la Universidad Nacional; al referir Instituciones, predomina la endogamia, pocos nodos muestran relación entre diferentes Universidades. Conclusión: se encontró predominio de la investigación en el área clínica, especialmente en temas de Patología, Rehabilitación Oral y Ortodoncia. En lo metodológico predominan los estudios epidemiológicos de corte transversal. Las Universidades que participaron con mayor número de investigaciones fueron El Bosque y la Universidad Nacional; se evidenciaron redes de colaboración débiles entre las facultades de odontología del país.
Excess — transgression — sanctity: analysis of St. Withelm’s life (according to The Lives of the Saints by Piotr Skarga)
Authors: Cybulska-Bohuszewicz Ewa
Published: April 2020

The paper presents an analysis of the life of St. Wilhelm. It is based on The Lives of the Saints (Żywoty świetych) by Piotr Skarga published in Vilnius in 1579. The article is a development of earlier findings and researches on the phenomenon of transgression in The Lives of the Saints [Cybulska-Bohuszewicz 2018, 13–36]. As tools of analysis, it uses the concepts developed by thinkers such as Georges Bataille, Józef Kozielecki and Victor Turner. The work is innovative, because so far The Lives of the Saints has not been studied in this way. At the same time, the sketch is only a contribution to further research, culminating in a monograph devoted to the issues of transgression, sanctity and atopy in the work mentioned.
Phonetic Convergence in one Southeastern Part of Lithuania
Authors: Tuomienė Nijolė
Published: April 2020

The present article addresses the principal phonetic phenomena of the languages used in borderland areas and their interaction. It analyzes of dialectological and sociolinguistic material collected from the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century from three points in the Šalčininkai district. It analyzes the phonetic convergence of the dominating local language varieties — Belarusian, Polish and Lithuanian — and establishes the tendencies of this process. The situations of natural communication in the context of code-switching are analyzed in the study: when the speakers are fluent and use several languages at the same time by actively switching between them in conversations.

The research is, based on the theory proposed by Valerijus Čekmonas, the researcher of the interaction of languages and Slavicist: the speaker switches between languages according to certain rules, which can be described by algorithms. Based on this method of algorithms, the study reveals the phonetic tendencies and proves a very important role and influence of the now passively used Lithuanian language on the articulation of contemporary Slavic languages.The research showed that the reasons of convergence of phonetic phenomena of the language varieties functioning in the borderland areas are mainly sociolinguistic. After comparing the phonetic peculiarities of local Polish and Belarusian dialects, it turned out that the phonetics of both dialects is essentially the same. The informants pronounce the soft consonants used in the local Lithuanian dialect in the same way as they are pronounced when speaking local Slavic dialects. The cases, which are not typical of Belarusian and Polish dialects, when consonants are intensively confused, were recorded; it is likely a feature of the Lithuanian substratum.
Immigration Discourse and the Prospects of Russian Language in Lithuania
Authors: Likhachiova Alla
Published: April 2020

In contrast to the ongoing emigration, immigration to Lithuania cannot be called intensive, and this topic as a whole remains on the periphery of public and academic attention. This article offers a description of the situation of immigration from the perspective of sociolinguistics. In particular, an analysis of the discourse of today’s Russian-speaking immigration to Lithuania reveals the linguistic attitudes of immigrants with a native Russian language or their own, their adaptation strategies, family language planning, and, ultimately, makes it possible to formulate general conclusions about the prospects of preserving / not preserving Russian-speaking community in the host country.The paper summarizes interview materials with immigrants from Russia and some post-Soviet countries posted on the Lithuanian Internet, as well as recorded during this study.

РЕЗЕРВИ РОЗВИТКУ СОЦІАЛЬНОГО І ТРУДОВОГО ПОТЕНЦІАЛІВ УКРАЇНИ
Authors: ШАМІЛЕВА Лариса , ХАНДІЙ Олена
Published: April 2020

Обгрунтовано, що для економічного зростання дуже важливо визначити резерви збільшення соціального і трудового потенціалів, а також активізації суб’єктів соціально-трудових відносин для мобілізації наявних резервів. Запропоновано оцінювати резерви зростання та рівень розвитку соціального і трудового потенціалів за допомогою їх інтегрального показника. Показано, що його розрахунок здійснюється за допомогою системи показників та індикаторів виміру за такими складовими: демографічна, здоров’я та санітарний стан населення, матеріальна забезпеченість, соціально-трудова сфера, зокрема, зайнятість та соціально-трудові відносини, освіта, культура, інформаційно-комунікативні послуги, соціальна згуртованість та єдність, соціальні ризики та соціальне виключення, соціальна інфраструктура.Розкрито, що використання факторного аналізу дозволило оцінити кількісний вплив усіх складових елементів на інтегральний показник соціального і трудового потенціалів. Розраховано резерви зростання для чинників, які гальмують їх розвиток. Показано, що загальні обсяги резерву можуть становити близько половини інтегрального показника соціального і трудового потенціалів.Виявлено, що найвагоміші резерви зосереджено в підсистемах «Соціальна інфраструктура», «Соціальна згуртованість та єдність» і «Зайнятість». За кожною складовою деталізовано чинники, які найбільшою мірою визначають резерви за умови їх активізації та мобілізації. Розкрито, що реалізація заходів з використання резервів збільшення соціального потенціалу пов’язана з поліпшенням соціально-економічної ситуації, забезпеченням політичної свободи, формуванням серед населення політичної та громадської активності. Доведено, що резерви розвитку трудового потенціалу забезпечуються завдяки посиленню якості робочої сили, що безпосередньо пов’язано з освітою, збільшенню витрат на освіту за всіма джерелами фінансування, підвищенню рівня пенсійного забезпечення та зменшенню злочинності, зниженню рівня інвалідності та старіння населення, зменшенню навантаження на 1 робоче місце, забезпеченню підвищення рівня зайнятості, скороченню зайнятості в неформальному секторі, неповної зайнятості, зменшенню тяжкості виробничого травматизму.
