Xavier Albó: Memoria, crónica y perfil
Authors: Delgado-P. Guillermo
Published: May 2020

Este artículo es un homenaje que historiza el impacto inicial y la recepción de ideas fundacionales del antropólogo y lingüista Xavier Albó en el establecimiento de las ciencias sociales en Bolivia. El autor rememora el interés académico de Albó en la lingüística y la investigación etnográfica y sitúa su influencia en el contexto de los disturbios sociopolíticos de los años 60 y 70. También se recapitula un transfondo para entender la temprana necesidad de establecer CIPCA, hoy día un respetado centro de investigación que se ha convertido en punto de referencia para las ciencias sociales.
Three Takes on De-Colonizing the State Apparatus in Bolivia
Authors: Sturtevant Chuck
Published: May 2020

This response summarizes and compares three scholars’ approaches (Marcelo Bohrt, Robert Albro and Pamela Calla) to the Morales administration’s efforts to decolonize the government of Bolivia. Seeking the common ground among them, I find that all three recognize the importance of symbolic and discursive changes, which have allowed some previously-excluded individuals to access positions of authority within the state apparatus. On the other hand, these changes have been uneven, exposing rifts between indigenous communities, exacerbating existing inequities, and establishing new or renewed hierarchies of subordination.

Flujos turísticos, geopolítica y COVID-19: cuando los turistas internacionales son vectores de transmisión
Authors: Menchero Sánchez Miriam
Published: May 2020

El turismo incide en el territorio por medio del movimiento de personas. Las restricciones a los viajes aplicadas para frenar la COVID-19 por casi la totalidad de los países han paralizado prácticamente los flujos internacionales y la actividad turística. Este artículo analiza las medidas realizadas frente a alertas sanitarias previas como la del SARS, MERS o H1N1, y las confronta con las aplicadas ante el nuevo coronavirus. De este modo, se refleja cómo estas últimas pueden alterar el mapa turístico mundial e impactar en los destinos más dependientes, desembocando en un futuro turístico más incierto que nunca.
Brazil in the Time of Coronavirus
Authors: Conde Maite
Published: May 2020

This essay outlines and analyses the spread of the coronavirus in Brazil. In doing so it explores how the pandemic, whilst initially brought into the country by the wealthy elite, has predominantly affected the country’s poor, revealing structural inequalities that encompass class, race and ethnic differences, in which the poor are not afforded the right to live. It additionally examines the response to COVID-19 by the country’s far right president, Jair Messias Bolsonaro, looking at how his laissez faire reaction to the virus builds on a history of violence against the marginalized, especially to the country’s indigenous peoples, that has not just excluded them from the nation state but at times actively and violently eradicated them.
EDUCAÇÃO LINGUÍSTICA NA BASE NACIONAL COMUM CURRICULAR: UMA LEITURA CRÍTICA SOBRE O ENSINO DE LÍNGUA INGLESA NOS ANOS FINAIS DO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL À LUZ DA PERSPECTIVA DE REPERTÓRIOS TRANSLÍNGUES
Authors: Bertonha Giovanna
Published: May 2020

Considerando o texto oficial da Base Nacional Comum Curricular brasileira e suas colocações a respeito da área de Linguagens e do componente de Língua Inglesa para os anos finais do Ensino Fundamental II (BRASIL, 2017), o presente artigo busca construir uma leitura crítica dos preceitos, acepções e ideias que são tecidas em sua redação, analisando-os em diálogo com a noção de repertórios translíngues (CANAGARAJAH, 2013; GARCÍA, 2009; GARCÍA & LIN, 2016; GARCÍA & WEI, 2014; WEI, 2017) e uma abordagem que promova uma educação linguística bilíngue realmente integral e com vistas à formação crítica (FREIRE, 1983; LUKE, 2013; MILLS, 2016; PENNYCOOK, 2018; PINHEIRO, 2018) das crianças e dos adolescentes.
O PROFESSOR DE PORTUGUÊS COMO LÍNGUA DE HERANÇA E O ACOLHIMENTO DE TRANSLINGUAGENS EM SALA DE AULA
Authors: Moroni Andreia Sanchez
Published: May 2020

Este artigo explora o papel da professora de português como língua de herança (PLH) a partir das representações de três entrevistadas sobre sua prática pedagógica. São apresentados resultados parciais de uma pesquisa qualitativa realizada na Catalunha, Espanha, entre 2013 e 2017, com adultos vinculados a uma associação de famílias que promove o PLH. Relata-se o processo de aproximação e estranhamento das educadoras dessa nova vertente de ensino, a escuta das demandas de alunos e familiares e como se conduz o acolhimento de necessidades emocionais e práticas translinguísticas da comunidade de usuários da língua. Nesse contexto, a professora de PLH se delineia como uma promotora de práticas culturais identificadas como brasileiras que privilegiam a língua-alvo, o português, e na qual deseja que os alunos se insiram. Para isso, é necessário priorizar a construção de vínculos entre os usuários da língua portuguesa, processo que não se dá unicamente nessa língua, mas por meio da translinguagem.
INTERNACIONALIZAÇÃO DA EDUCAÇÃO COMO PRÁTICA TRANSLÍNGUE: PARÂMETROS E PROPOSIÇÕES PARA A FORMAÇÃO CRÍTICA DE PROFESSORES DE LÍNGUAS
Authors: Pereira Lauro Sérgio Machado , Silva Kleber Aparecido da , Guimarães Renata Mourão
Published: May 2020

Na contemporaneidade, quando as práticas sociais são dinâmicas e fluidas, a interação acontece de maneira complexa por intermédio não apenas de línguas, mas também por meio de recursos semióticos e multimodais. Nesse contexto, a internacionalização da educação destaca-se moldando as trocas interacionais e interculturais. Neste artigo, estabelecemos, a partir de parâmetros e proposições de pesquisas advindas da Linguística Aplicada Crítica (LAC), uma relação entre os construtos teóricos de internacionalização e de translinguagem, no sentido de conectá-los à formação crítica de professores de línguas. Acreditamos que as discussões apresentadas possam provocar reflexões nos professores de línguas sobre como atuar criticamente na educação linguística em contexto de internacionalização a fim de contribuírem com a formação de alunos globalmente competentes.
DIALOGUES ON TRANSLINGUAL RESEARCH AND PRACTICE: WEAVING THREADS WITH SURESH CANAGARAJAH’S VIEWS
Authors: Maciel Ruberval Franco , Hilsdorf Rocha Claudia
Published: May 2020

The main purpose of this paper is to engage with the ideas of Suresh Canagarajah – a highly acknowledged scholar from Penn State University, in the United States of America – on translingual research and practice. In order to do so, an interview with him was jointly planned by Ruberval Franco Maciel (UEMS) and Cláudia Hilsdorf Rocha (UNICAMP) and carried out in August 2019, during an event held in Brazil. Taking into account the increasing number of studies on translingualism worldwide in the past few years and the leading role played by Canagarajah’s work in this field, the interview aimed at expanding views and contributing to broaden the scholarship in this area. To situate and contextualize the author’s ideas, some considerations on translanguaging as a language theory and educational approach are firstly made. As a result, Canagarajah’s voice and points of view are put in dialogue with a plurality of ideas, highlighting the complex, dynamic and challenging nature of a translingual turn in contemporary times and its possible connections with Brazilian language studies. Translingual work intertwined with affective, multimodal and multisensory approaches is considered a possible and interesting path to be explored in the near future.
Impact of Cold Water Intake on Environmental Perceptions, Affect, and Attention Depends on Climate Condition
Authors: Coudevylle Guillaume R. , Sinnapah Stéphane , Hue Olivier , Robin Nicolas , Popa-Roch Maria
Published: May 2020

The use of cooling techniques in a tropical climate can limit the increase in core body temperature and therefore improve physical exercise performance. However, little is known about the impact of cooling on psychological functioning. The aim of this study was to determine whether cold water intake influences environmental perceptions, affects, and attention depending on the climate condition (tropical climate vs. neutral climate). The study followed a mixed 2 × 3 crossover design (climate as the within factor, tropical climate vs. neutral climate; water intake as the between factor, cold water vs. neutral water vs. no water). Participants reported lower thermal comfort, had positive affect scores, had lower attention performance scores, and had higher thermal sensation and negative affect in tropical climate compared with neutral climate. It was shown that drinking water at room temperature in a neutral climate causes the best thermal comfort scores, and drinking water at room temperature in tropical climate causes the worst scores. Cold water intake, which had no notable influence on positive affect scores in a tropical climate, had a deleterious effect in a neutral climate. Drinking cold water as a technique to limit the deleterious effects of tropical climate on environmental perceptions, affect, and attention is discussed.
Deterritorialising to Reterritorialising the Curriculum Discourse in African Higher Education in the Era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution
Authors: Kehdinga Formunyam George
Published: May 2020

The Fourth Industrial Revolution is upon us, and it comes with implications for the higher education curriculum and organisations within Africa. Technology that was ubiquitous in previous decades, is now becoming obsolete. Artificial intelligence and digitization, which are features of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, are now the order of the day. Organisations are moving with such technological advancement by adopting newly created technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Without doubt, the currently used curriculum in Africa is obsolete; and does not capture the changes being ushered in by the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Therefore, the higher education curriculum must be responsive to the Fourth Industrial Revolution, as this will prepare students in Africa for the challenge ahead. This study theorises on, and has concluded, that deterritorialization and reterritorialization are useful in making the African higher education responsive to the curriculum. The study recommends the introduction of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education into the African higher-education curriculum in Africa. STEM will produce students who are technically savvy, helping students in Africa to acquire the needed skills to perform seamlessly in organisations operating within the Fourth Industrial Revolution era.
Determinants of the Capital Structure of Companies Listed on the Stock Exchanges of Argentina, Brazil and Chile: An Empirical Analysis of the Period from 2007 to 2016
Authors: Henrique Marcelo Rabelo , Silva Sandro Braz , Saporito Antônio , da Silva Sérgio Roberto
Published: May 2020

The present investigation refers to the determinants of the capital structure, using the technique of multiple regression through Panel Data of open capital companies in the stock exchanges of Argentina, Brazil and Chile, in order to know the behavior of determinants of the capital structure in relation to Trade-Off Theory (TOT) and Pecking Order Theory (POT). The POT offers the existence of a hierarchy in the use of sources of resources, while the TOT considers the existence of a target capital structure that would be pursued by the company. Sixteen accounting variables were used, in which five are dependent (related to indebtedness) and eleven are independent variables (explaining the determinants of the capital structure). It is observed that, with the use of the Panel Data, the determinants that seem to influence in a more accentuated way the levels of debt of the companies are: current liquidity, tangibility, return to shareholders, return of assets, sales growth, asset growth, market-to-book and business risk measured by the volatility of benefits. Suggestions for future research include the use of Panel Data to analyze other factors that may influence indebtedness, mainly taxes and dividends, as well as a deeper analysis of factors that may influence the speed of adjustment towards the supposed objective level.
Evaluation of Seed Quality Attributes of Sorghum Germplasm Accessions from Eastern, Coastal and Nyanza Regions, Kenya
Authors: Muui C. W. , Muasya R. M. , Nguluu S. , Kambura A.
Published: May 2020

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) is an important cereal crop in Kenya. Despite the crops importance, the yields attained by farmers in Eastern, Coastal and Nyanza regions of Kenya remain low. Access to good quality seeds of sorghum is one of the constraints facing the subsistence farmers. Good quality seed is important for increasing yield to attain food security. The aim of this study was to evaluate quality attributes of the seed used by farmers. A total of 108 germplasm accessions were obtained from 76 farmers. The seeds were tested for time and percentage of germination, seed vigour index, shoot and root dry weight. Data collected was subjected to analysis of variance. Means were separated using Fisher’s Least Significance Difference test at p ≤ 0.05. Seed samples of 26 accessions attained germination percentage below stipulated standards by Seeds and Plant Varieties Act CAP 326. Majority of seeds showed longer mean germination time with only nine accessions germinating in less than ten days. Seed vigour index was relatively high in most of the accessions, while biomass accumulation varied from high to very low among accessions. Though most of the seeds attained a high germination percentage, about 92% of seeds showed longer mean germination time. The environmental conditions in the fields, pre and post harvest handling practices impact on the seed quality hence the wide variability in germination percentage, germination time, seed vigour index and dry matter accumulation. Therefore the need to improve quality of seeds used by subsistence farmers by providing extension services on best pre and post harvest handling practices. Increasing production of sorghum in these regions will contribute significantly towards realizing food security. Further analysis could be carried out on genetic and sanitary quality aspects of the seeds planted by farmers in Eastern, Nyanza and Coastal regions.

Criteria voor strafbaarstelling De integratie tussen theorie en wetgevingsbeleid

Het Nederlandse strafrecht is gebaseerd op de idee van ultimum remedium. Strafrecht kan grote gevolgen hebben voor de verdachten. Of en op welke wijze bepaald ongewenst gedrag moet worden strafbaar gesteld, vereist daarom een gedegen afweging tussen de voor- en nadelen van het strafrecht. Criteria voor strafbaarstelling bieden de wetgever een argumentatiekader aan de hand waarvan strafbaarstelling kan worden gelegitimeerd en gerechtvaardigd. In dit artikel worden de huidige strafbaarstellingtheorieën aangevuld met wetgevingsbeleid.
Met datascience op zoek naar indicatoren van georganiseerde criminaliteit en ondermijning
Authors: Prüfer Patricia , Kolthoff Emile
Published: May 2020

Using data science to predict indicators of organized crime and its consequences

Increasing digitization and datafication lead to an increasingly important role of data in our society and to changes in the way institutions work and decisions are made. Although it can lead to changes in the type of crime (e.g. cybercrime), datafication also facilitates shifts from visible and registered crime to crime that has not (yet) been measured and registered, like manifestations of organized crime. Analyzing so-called big data can help to recognize new forms of crime, predict risk factors, and decrease the dark number of these forms of crime.

In this study, we illustrate which indicators determine the stage of an industrial area regarding the occurrence of organized crime. Our supervised machine learning analysis shows that a number of indicators actually have predictive value for the degree of organized crime. These indicators could be used in the future to distinguish which industrial areas run an increased risk of organized and subversive crime.

Misunderstandings about trauma

Previously we have published an article about misunderstandings regarding trauma and PTSS. In this contribution we deal with other popular beliefs regarding trauma. We focus on trauma among professionals as a consequence of their work. It is explained that a professional does not have to witness violence or another severe case directly in order to develop some form of trauma. Next to that we focus on the misconception that professionals suffering from trauma can receive treatment without support of their loved ones and social network. It is explained that social support is not only relevant but necessary in treating trauma effectively.

Finances: a risk factor for delinquency? A study on the complexity of financial problems among probation clients

The relationship between debts and delinquency is still unclear and knowledge about the prevalence and scope of debts among delinquents, which is needed to systematically explore this relationship, is lacking. The present study contains a systematic and scoping literature review on this relationship and analyzed data from risk assessment and client files (N = 250) from the Dutch probation service. Results show that debt and crime are strongly related and that debts among probation clients are highly prevalent and complex and underline the importance of inquiring more knowledge about debts as a potential risk factor for relapse during supervision.

Debtor and detained: A study into the debts of prisoners during and after prison

An exceptionally high prevalence of financial debt problems can be found among prisoners, but criminological knowledge on the link between debts and crime is limited. Previous studies are hindered by a lack of information on types of debts, informal debts and background characteristics. This article provides first and detailed insights in the types and amount of debts during and after prison in the Netherlands. Based on data from the Prison Project we show that the majority of prisoners report having debts during prison, show how different types of debts are related and how these debts change six months after release.

Published: May 2020

Presentamos una investigación realizada en España, que se llevó a cabo entre el 2012 y el 2016, sobre organizaciones y procesos afectivos involucrados en movimientos sociales. Al utilizar extractos de entrevistas de narrativa, exploramos cómo los participantes en protestas sociales asocian el apego y la tecnología para desarrollar lazos de confianza dentro de sus redes. Así pues, proponemos analizar el tema de la confianza en organizaciones sociales examinando la construcción discursiva de los vínculos entre el apego de los actores y el uso de diferentes tecnologías. La narrativa en la que se centra el estudio fue registrada en un evento que se organizó en la ciudad de Madrid en el 2014. El análisis está organizado en tres partes. El primer paso es presentar un primer enfoque para construir una red. En el segundo mostramos cómo las buenas prácticas estimulan a las organizaciones sociales para crear un entorno perfecto para distribuir confianza dentro de la red. En el último paso, presentamos un zigzag entre tecnología y sociedad que permite alcanzar un objetivo común

Los datos consisten en (a) el estudio longitudinal de la red social de los estudiantes del último curso de un instituto de enseñanza secundaria, con dos observaciones, antes (n = 69) y después (n = 57) de terminar sus estudios; y (b) el estudio longitudinal de las redes personales de cada uno de los participantes en la investigación, también antes (n = 69) y después (n = 57) de terminar la enseñanza secundaria. Complementariamente, se obtuvo información sobre el sentido psicológico de comunidad y la frecuencia de desplazamientos interurbanos, junto con otros aspectos socio-demográficos. Las dos observaciones de la red social completa se presentan en sendas matrices valoradas en formato Excel. En paralelo, para cada miembro de la cohorte, se proporcionan dos archivos de sus redes personales. En este caso se trata de sendas matrices cuadradas de los 45 alteri mencionados por ego en cada observación, también en formato Excel. Como atributos de los alteri, se informa del lugar de residencia de cada uno de ellos. Finalmente, en formato SAV del paquete SPSS, se recoge información sobre el sentido psicológico de comunidad, la frecuencia de desplazamientos interurbanos y algunos indicadores resumen las redes personales de cada encuestado. La base de datos permite el análisis combinado de las redes sociales y las redes personales de un mismo conjunto de individuos, con dos observaciones longitudinales.

Is Social Entrepreneurship Better for Workers? The Influence of Work Experience in Croatian Social Cooperatives on Perceived Well-Being
Authors: Puđak Jelena , Šimleša Dražen
Published: May 2020

This paper aims to examine the motivations, values, and job satisfaction among the people employed in the sector of social entrepreneurship that were obtained through a qualitative study of ten Croatian social cooperatives. In our analysis, we interpreted the experiences of working in a social enterprise from the employee perspective. Our findings suggest that the participants/employees of social enterprises favour intrinsic motivation and values related to their jobs, that they describe their working conditions in social enterprises positively, and that they share a perceived increase in the quality of life since having started working at a social enterprise. The described relations between motivation, job experiences, and participatory management allowed us to build upon and extend the existing body of research on motivation and job satisfaction in the social economy sector.
Physicochemical properties and shelf-life of low-fat pork sausages wrapped with active film manufactured by sodium alginate and cherry tomato powder
Authors: Qiu Zhuang Zhuang , Chin Koo Bok
Published: May 2020

Objective: This study was carried out to investigate physicochemical properties, and antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of low-fat sausages (LFSs) covered with sodium alginate (SA) film alone and with powder film (TSA-film) formed by cross-linking cherry tomato powder (CTP) and SA with calcium chloride (CaCl2).Methods: Sausages covered with the biodegradable film were assessed based on the measurement of pH, color (L*, a*, b*), proximate analysis, expressive moisture (EM), texture profile analysis, total plate counts (TPC), violet red bile, and 2-Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) during storage under refrigeration. LFSs wrapped with TSA-film were compared with those wrapped with SA-film and without film (control) during storage at 10°C for 35 days.Results: The LFSs covered with the mixed film had lower pH, lightness (L*), EM%, TBARS, and TPC, but lower yellowness (b*) and hardness values than those wrapped with TSA-film alone.Conclusion: Lipid oxidation and microbial growth was retarded in sausages covered with biodegradable films, especially multiple films as compared to single film, thereby resulting in extended shelf-life of the LFSs.
El Banco Asiático de Inversión en Infraestructura apuntando al camino del medio: uniéndose a las filas de los Bancos Multilaterales de Desarrollo, pero con características chinas
Authors: Borquez Dr. Andres , Shoaib Dr. Faran
Published: May 2020

En junio del 2016 fue aprobado el primer proyecto del Banco Asiático de Inversión en Infraestructura y una de las preocupaciones de los expertos es que esta nueva institución puede ser flexible con respecto a las condiciones de los préstamos y salvaguardas, argumentando que los creadores de este banco carecen de experiencia suficiente para mantener altos estándares establecidos por los otros bancos multilaterales. En contraste, otros especialistas destacan que la participación de China en el financiamiento a nivel internacional no es nada nuevo. Durante la última década, China ha permitido que los bancos de desarrollo estatales otorguen créditos no concesionales. Este artículo analiza ambos enfoques y los contrasta con un análisis comparativo del diseño de los bancos de desarrollo regionales y el nuevo banco multilateral liderado por China. Además, analiza la orientación de las políticas de crédito y salvaguardas de los 21 primeros proyectos aprobados por AIIB hasta el 2017. El nuevo banco esta apuntando al camino del medio: por un lado, uniéndose a las filas de los principales bancos multilaterales, pero al mismo tiempo, tratando de ser una institución con una visión sur a sur: ágil, respetando las políticas internas de cada país y enfocada en el nicho de los proyectos de infraestructura. 

 

In June 2016 the first project of the AIIB was approved and some experts' concern is if this new institution can be flexible with respect to the conditions of the loans and safeguards, arguing that the creators of this bank lack enough experience to maintain high standards established by the other multilateral banks. In contrast, other specialists point out that China's participation in financing at an international level is nothing new. Over the past decade, China has allowed state development banks to grant non-concessional loans. This article analyzes both approaches and contrasts them with a comparative analysis of the design of the regional development banks and the new multilateral bank led by China. In addition, it analyzes the orientation of the credit policies and safeguards of the first 21 projects approved by AIIB until 2017. The new bank is treading the middle path: on the one hand, joining the ranks of the main multilateral banks, but at the same time, trying to be an institution with a south-south vision: agile, respecting the internal policies of each country and focused on the niche of infrastructure projects.
Os desafios humanitários e novas práticas de great power management: uma comparação entre as posições da França e da Alemanha frente à “crise de refugiados”

Published: May 2020

O presente artigo visa entender como se dá a gestão das grandes potências, França e Alemanha, frente à assumida crise de refúgio atual no contexto europeu. Para tanto, partimos da noção mais ampla de “instituições primárias”, parte do léxico da denominada Escola Inglesa (EI) de Relações Internacionais (RI), e, mais especificamente, da candidata a instituição primária que parece ter maior poder de constranger as demais – o great power management.  A partir da comparação entre duas importantes potências europeias – Alemanha e França – a primeira fora, no que tange o poder de veto, da institucionalidade internacional core de great power management e a segunda inserida nessa mesma institucionalidade -, busca-se verificar de que forma ambas traduzem o denominado “novo humanitarismo” como mecanismo de gestão internacional ao responderem, ainda que diferentemente, à percepção crescente de que a Europa enfrenta contemporaneamente uma crise de refugiados.

Published: May 2020

Este artigo apresenta exemplos estratégicos do reposicionamento das marcas populares de vestuário e acessórios “C&A”, “Lojas Renner”, “Marisa” e “Riachuelo”, observados na atuação comercial e na comunicação de seus produtos. O termo posicionamento designa um conceito relacionado à necessidade de parâmetros para a atuação da marca no mercado, sendo percebido em comparação com a comunicação pública das outras marcas. Analisando o posicionamento das marcas populares de vestuário, observa-se que permanecem os argumentos baseados em “qualidade e preço”, mas esses são apresentados em constante e enfática associação da marca ao conceito de Moda. Como resultado, é evidenciado que houve o fechamento de um ciclo na relação entre o conceito de “Moda” e o posicionamento de mercado das marcas populares deste segmento, resultando na retomada da plena identificação publicitária entre Moda e produtos de vestuário e acessórios.
ENTRE DISCURSOS E PRÁTICAS: ROTINA MULTIMÍDIA EM EMPRESAS JORNALÍSTICAS
Authors: Lenzi Alexandre
Published: May 2020

A necessidade de uma prática multimídia na rotina de produção de conteúdo jornalístico para sites noticiosos é reconhecida por gestores e lideranças de redações. Neste artigo, busca-se refletir sobre tal cenário a partir da perspectiva de três empresas brasileiras: Folha de S. Paulo, O Globo e Gazeta do Povo. Para isso, recorre-se ao resgate dos discursos oficiais destas empresas em relação às mudanças recentes em suas rotinas de produção e à análise de uma amostra do que é produzido e publicado diariamente em seus sites. Como resultado, percebe-se que embora avançando, a rotina multimídia não está tão incorporada na prática como já está no discurso.

Disintegration risk assessment for states of Venezuela
Authors: Skachkov V. S.
Published: May 2020

The article attempts to assess the risks of spatial disintegration of regions using the example of Venezuela. The author proposes his expert assessment of the role and mechanism of each factor of disintegration. The author explores the following factors facilitating disintegration: historical (a history of regional disintegration), socioeconomic (territorial disparities in human development indicators), domestic-political (the electoral geography of the state), ethnocultural (differences in the racial composition of the population by states), transport (the level of transport connectivity of the state with neighbouring states), military-strategic (the deployment of large military units ) and foreign policy (the influence of the neighbouring states on border territories). It has been established that the four states of Venezuela (Amazonas, Bolivar, Zulia and Tachira) are characterized by a high risk of disintegration due to a combination of several factors, which are closely related to each other. The author concludes that the disintegration in the west of the country, in the states of Zulia and Tachira, is fundamentally different from the disintegration of the states of Amazonas and Bolivar, both in terms of factors leading to the disintegration and their manifestation.

La Canada West Foundation et le Manning Centre for Building Democracy : deux think tanks à la défense de l’Ouest canadien et de la droite*
Authors: Boily Frédéric
Published: May 2020

Ce texte propose une analyse historique et thématique de deux importants think tanks albertains qui ont pour vocation de défendre les intérêts de l’Ouest canadien, soit la Canada West Foundation (CWF) et le Manning Centre for Building Democracy (MCBD). Il s’agit notamment d’examiner le contexte politique dans lequel les deux organisations ont pris leur essor. Nous verrons en effet que la naissance de la CWF s’inscrit dans un moment où on assiste à la montée du régionalisme dans les années 1970, alors que celle du MCBD s’effectue dans le contexte, au milieu des années 2000, de recherche de nouvelles voies pour les conservateurs albertains et canadiens. Nous terminons le texte avec une évaluation de leur influence respective ainsi que de leur visibilité, plus importante pour la CWF que pour le MCBD, dans l’espace politique et médiatique canadien.
Émergence des études sur l’homoparentalité au Québec
Authors: Greenbaum Mona , Julien Danielle
Published: May 2020

Au Québec, les recherches empiriques sur l’homoparentalité ont émergé au cours des années 1990, en parallèle avec les luttes militantes pour la reconnaissance des droits familiaux des personnes LGBT, luttes couronnées par l’adoption de la loi 84 en 2002. Afin de mieux comprendre le contexte universitaire et politique dans lequel ces changements se sont inscrits, Mona Greenbaum a rencontré Danielle Julien pour un entretien sur son expérience universitaire au cours de ces années. Mona Greenbaum est directrice générale de la Coalition des familles LGBT au Québec. Danielle Julien est professeure retraitée et professeure associée au département de psychologie de l’Université du Québec à Montréal. En 1998 naissait leur collaboration, pierre d’assise du développement des recherches sur l’homoparentalité au Québec.
Au coeur de l’accès à la justice des jeunes en protection de la jeunesse
Authors: Bardaxoglou Sarah , Fau Valentine , Campbell Angela , Van Praagh Shauna
Published: May 2020

Cet article s’inscrit dans le cadre d’une recherche sur l’accès à la justice des jeunes qui explore la participation des jeunes au système québécois de protection de la jeunesse. Face au manque d’attention de la communauté scientifique sur cette question, les auteures décidèrent d’organiser une table ronde interdisciplinaire pour discuter des défis, des expériences et des enseignements à partager entre les divers acteurs présents sur la scène de la protection de la jeunesse. L’article expose les principales pistes de réflexion émergeant de cette discussion, joignant les lacunes aux ouvertures pour améliorer l’accès des jeunes à la justice. La nécessité flagrante d’offrir des espaces de dialogue entre les différents professionnels du système, principalement les intervenants sociaux et judiciaires, se fait toujours plus pressante. Une approche collaborative, intersectionnelle et interdisciplinaire, non seulement centrée sur les jeunes mais également inclusive des jeunes, semble ainsi se dégager tant des échanges de la table ronde que des rares écrits portant sur le sujet.
L’exposition prénatale à l’alcool et aux drogues chez des bébés signalés en protection de l’enfance à la naissance

Published: May 2020

La consommation maternelle de substances psychoactives à potentiel tératogène durant la grossesse demeure mal documentée, malgré son impact négatif sur le développement de l’enfant à naître. Chez les familles évoluant au sein de conditions de vie adverses, le risque d’exposition prénatale à ces substances serait tel que l’urgence d’un dépistage hâtif s’impose en santé publique. Cette étude documente la prévalence et la nature de l’exposition prénatale à l’alcool et aux drogues chez une cohorte de bébés (N = 340) dont la situation a été signalée aux autorités à leur naissance. Près de la moitié de ces enfants (n = 176) furent exposés. Les liens entre la consommation maternelle, les motifs légaux d’intervention et le placement de l’enfant dans ses trois premières années de vie sont examinés. Les résultats sont discutés de façon à aider les travailleurs sociaux à mieux repérer ces situations et moduler les interventions conséquentes.
Associative Engines
Authors: Clark Andy
Published: May 2020

Clark charts a fundamental shift from a static, inner-code-oriented conception of the subject matter of cognitive science to a more dynamic, developmentally rich, process-oriented view.

Connectionist approaches, Andy Clark argues, are driving cognitive science toward a radical reconception of its explanatory endeavor. At the heart of this reconception lies a shift toward a new and more deeply developmental vision of the mind—a vision that has important implications for the philosophical and psychological understanding of the nature of concepts, of mental causation, and of representational change.

Combining philosophical argument, empirical results, and interdisciplinary speculations, Clark charts a fundamental shift from a static, inner-code-oriented conception of the subject matter of cognitive science to a more dynamic, developmentally rich, process-oriented view. Clark argues that this shift makes itself felt in two main ways. First, structured representations are seen as the products of temporally extended cognitive activity and not as the representational bedrock (an innate symbol system or language of thought) upon which all learning is based. Second, the relation between thoughts (as described by folk psychology) and inner computational states is loosened as a result of the fragmented and distributed nature of the connectionist representation of concepts.

Other issues Clark raises include the nature of innate knowledge, the conceptual commitments of folk psychology, and the use and abuse of higher-level analyses of connectionist networks.

Explaining Behavior
Authors: Dretske Fred
Published: May 2020

Why do human beings move? In this lucid portrayal of human behavior, Fred Dretske provides an original account of the way reasons function in the causal explanation of behavior. Biological science investigates what makes our bodies move in the way they do. Psychology is interested in why persons—agents with reasons—move in the way they do. Dretske attempts to reconcile these different points of view by showing how reasons operate in a world of causes. He reveals in detail how the character of our inner states—what we believe, desire, and intend—determines what we do.

In this book Jerry Fodor contrasts his views about the mind with those of a number of well-known philosophers and cognitive scientists, including John McDowell, Christopher Peacocke, Paul Churchland, Daniel Dennett, Paul Smolensky, and Richard Dawkins.

In this book Jerry Fodor contrasts his views about the mind with those of a number of well-known philosophers and cognitive scientists, including John McDowell, Christopher Peacocke, Paul Churchland, Daniel Dennett, Paul Smolensky, and Richard Dawkins. Several of these essays are published here for the first time. The rest originated as book reviews in the Times Literary Supplement, the London Review of Books, or in journals of philosophy or psychology. The topics examined include cognitive architecture, the nature of concepts, and the status of Darwinism in psychology. Fodor constructs a version of the Representational Theory of Mind that blends Intentional Realism, Computational Reductionism, Nativism, and Semantic Atomism.

An Introduction to Natural Computation
Authors: Ballard Dana H.
Published: May 2020

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the computational material that forms the underpinnings of the currently evolving set of brain models.

It is now clear that the brain is unlikely to be understood without recourse to computational theories. The theme of An Introduction to Natural Computation is that ideas from diverse areas such as neuroscience, information theory, and optimization theory have recently been extended in ways that make them useful for describing the brains programs. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the computational material that forms the underpinnings of the currently evolving set of brain models. It stresses the broad spectrum of learning models—ranging from neural network learning through reinforcement learning to genetic learning—and situates the various models in their appropriate neural context.

To write about models of the brain before the brain is fully understood is a delicate matter. Very detailed models of the neural circuitry risk losing track of the task the brain is trying to solve. At the other extreme, models that represent cognitive constructs can be so abstract that they lose all relationship to neurobiology. An Introduction to Natural Computation takes the middle ground and stresses the computational task while staying near the neurobiology.

An Introduction to Genetic Algorithms
Authors: Mitchell Melanie
Published: May 2020

Genetic algorithms have been used in science and engineering as adaptive algorithms for solving practical problems and as computational models of natural evolutionary systems. This brief, accessible introduction describes some of the most interesting research in the field and also enables readers to implement and experiment with genetic algorithms on their own. It focuses in depth on a small set of important and interesting topics—particularly in machine learning, scientific modeling, and artificial life—and reviews a broad span of research, including the work of Mitchell and her colleagues.

The descriptions of applications and modeling projects stretch beyond the strict boundaries of computer science to include dynamical systems theory, game theory, molecular biology, ecology, evolutionary biology, and population genetics, underscoring the exciting "general purpose" nature of genetic algorithms as search methods that can be employed across disciplines.

An Introduction to Genetic Algorithms is accessible to students and researchers in any scientific discipline. It includes many thought and computer exercises that build on and reinforce the reader's understanding of the text. The first chapter introduces genetic algorithms and their terminology and describes two provocative applications in detail. The second and third chapters look at the use of genetic algorithms in machine learning (computer programs, data analysis and prediction, neural networks) and in scientific models (interactions among learning, evolution, and culture; sexual selection; ecosystems; evolutionary activity). Several approaches to the theory of genetic algorithms are discussed in depth in the fourth chapter. The fifth chapter takes up implementation, and the last chapter poses some currently unanswered questions and surveys prospects for the future of evolutionary computation.
