“Foi como se tivesse ficado órfã duas vezes”: Orfandade em O Tibete de África
Authors: Martinho Ferreira Patrícia Isabel
Published: July 2019

Ao funcionar como contracorrente à retórica imperial em torno da família e da casa patriarcais, o tropo literário do órfão oferece uma visão crítica da experiência colonial e pós-colonial portuguesa, enfatizando as ansiedades e os traumas que se viveram particularmente no contexto do fim do Império, da descolonização e do retorno a Portugal dos colonos e seus descendentes. A vivência entre dois mundos (o português e o africano) caracterizadora da trajetória da protagonista de O Tibete de África -- romance publicado por Margarida Paredes em 2006 -- materializa-se num estado de dupla orfandade decorrente, por um lado, da morte do pai e da consequente desagregação da família e, por outro, da perda do lugar onde nasceu -- Angola. É sobre este percurso de orfandade de repercussões simbólicas evidentes que este ensaio de crítica literária se debruça.

Assim, o objetivo deste artigo é aprofundar uma leitura intertextual das duas obras que proporcione uma nova perspectiva sobre a questão da água em Moçambique.
Entre a ficção e a história: o narrador de ‘Rainhas da noite'
Authors: Braun Ana Beatriz Matte
Published: July 2019

O principal objetivo desta reflexão é problematizar a figura do narrador do romance Rainhas da noite, 2013, do ficcionista moçambicano João Paulo Borges Coelho. A partir da análise da especificidade da estrutura narrativa deste romance, constituído por duas linhas narrativas, uma no Moçambique colonial e outra no Moçambique contemporâneo, o texto apontará alguns aspectos da relação do narrador contemporâneo do romance com o meio histórico e social que o cerca, a partir dos termos de sua representação. Um narrador em atitude ambivalente com sua matéria de análise: por um lado, estimulado pela possibilidade de investigação histórica, por outro, em conflito com o meio social e político do Moçambique contemporâneo.
The Dynamics of Rural Poverty in Pakistan:
A Time Series Analysis
Authors: Abdul Saboor Abdul Saboor , Hussain Zakir
Published: July 2019

At the start of the 21st century, almost one-fifth of humanity-1.2
billion people-live on less than a dollar a day. Pakistan is confronted by a
multifaceted dilemma. The major issues facing the country are poverty and
income disparity, particularly among the rural segments of the society. And
evidence indicates that both have worsened. The impact of poverty is
particularly acute on the most vulnerable sections of the society. In the year
1990-91, 39.42 percent of the total 31.81 percent of the population below the
poverty line were termed as absolute poor including 34 percent chronically
and 61 percent extremely poor. During the last decade or so, nearly 2 million
people are added to the clusters of extremely poor, 5 million to chronically
poor, 7 million to transient poor. Thus bringing nearly 59.11 percent of the
poor population out of poverty is to a certain extent easier than bringing the
remaining 40.89 percent out of the poverty trap. Pakistan has witnessed a
decline in the growth rate from 6.1 per cent during the 1980s to 4.2 percent
during the 1990s. However, the Poverty Equivalent Growth Rate (PEGR)
analysis reported in this paper indicates that the pro-poor growth scenario is
improving in rural Pakistan. If growth remains pro-poor in the subsequent
years as it was in the year 2000-01, there is a likelihood that the growth will
trickle down to the poor more than the non-poor.

According to our finding, in the small scale manufacturing sector size of employment is negatively related with wage elasticity, positively related with capital elasticity and also positively related with value of product elasticity.
NGOs and Gender Development, the Case of AKRSP
in District Chitral, NWFP, Pakistan
Authors: Khan Humayun
Published: July 2019

The empowerment of women and improvement of their socioeconomic
status are essential ingredients of economic, political and social
development. To achieve these objectives, the Government and NGOs have
launched a number of programs in various parts of the country. The Aga
Khan Rural Support Program (AKRSP) is working on the same agenda in
Northern districts of North West Frontier Province (NWFP). The aim of
the present research was to study the gender related interventions
introduced by the AKRSP in District Chitral. The study findings show
that the gender related interventions introduced by AKRSP have played a
key role in the development of rural women in the area under reference.
In addition to the provision of water supply schemes, health and credit
facilities, training has also been imparted to the local women in different
sectors of the rural economy including: agriculture, livestock management,
vocational and enterprise development. This training has had a positive
effect on economic activities performed by rural women and has enhanced
the income of the respondents from various economic activities in their
respective fields in the research area. Another major effect of the AKRSP
interventions was the saving of time of rural women that had been spent
on fetching water before these interventions. Though these interventions
have improved the socio-economic conditions of women to a greater extent
in the area, their sustainability requires regular monitoring and follow-up
of training.
Impact of Exchange Market Forces on Pak-Rupee Exchange Rates during Globalization Period: An Empirical Analysis
Authors: Haider Ali Shah Bukhari Syed Adnan , Shahbaz Akmal Muhammad , Sabihuddin Butt Mohammad
Published: July 2019

This paper analyzes the impact of exchange market forces on Pak-Rupee/US dollar exchange rates during the 1965-1971 globalization period. The main findings are that a) the behavior of Pakistan’s fundamentals relative to those of the USA help to explain exchange market forces against the Pak-Rupee; b) during the run up to devaluation in the globalization period the monetary authorities in Pakistan were acting to reduce domestic credit; but that c) additional pressure was brought against the Pak-Rupee from speculative sources. These findings relate to current thinking on the choice of the exchange rate regime as even well behaved fundamentals may not be sufficient to sustain a currency on its peg.
Role of the Futures Market on Volatility and Price Discovery of the Spot Market: Evidence from Pakistan’s Stock Market
Authors: Khan Safi Ullah
Published: July 2019

This paper focuses on the role of the financial futures market in the volatility of Pakistan’s stock market and determines whether the stock futures price is capable of providing some relevant information for predicting the spot price. The Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (GARCH) approach is used to measure volatility in the spot and the futures market and to analyze the relationships between spot and futures market volatility. Causality and feedback relationships between the two markets are analyzed and determined through the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM). Empirical results support the evidence that spot prices generally lead the futures prices in incorporating new information, and that volatility in the futures market does not increase volatility in the spot market. Rather the study finds more consistent support for the alternative hypothesis that volatility in the futures market may be an outgrowth of the volatile spot market.
The Disappearing Calendar Anomalies in the Singapore Stock Market
Authors: Wong Wing-Keung , Agarwal Aman , Wong Nee-Tat
Published: July 2019

This paper investigates the calendar anomalies in the Singapore stock market over the recent period from 1993-2005. Specifically, changes in stock index returns are examined surrounding January (the January effect), on different days of the week (the day-of-the-week effect), around the turn of the month (the turn-of-the-month effect) and before holidays (the pre-holiday effect). The findings reveal that these anomalies have largely disappeared from the Singapore stock market in recent years. The disappearance of these anomalies has important implications for the efficient market hypothesis and the trading behavior of investors.
Key Challenges in Economic Management of Pakistan
Authors: A. Hussain Taufiq
Published: July 2019

This paper points out that GDP growth is fundamentally on track
although a little below the expected 7% target owing to commodity sector
weaknesses. The rising trend in unemployment has been reversed over
2002-04. It is expected that longer trend growth over the decade will be
over 6%. However, there are certain macroeconomic imbalances, the
current account deficit, the widening savings-investment gap and
inflationary pressures, that need to be managed.
Pakistan’s economy continues to remain on a high-growth trajectory
during the current fiscal year, though the real GDP growth rate for the year
seems likely to be lower than the 7 percent target. The expectation of the
slowdown, relative to the FY06 annual target, owes principally to the
(estimated) weakness in the commodity producing sectors of the economy,
the impact of which will be partially offset by an anticipated above-target
performance of the services sector.
External Account and Foreign Debt Management
Authors: H. Khan Ashfaque
Published: July 2019

The paper highlights strong gains in the macro area. The author
also shows how total debt as a percentage of GDP has declined from 100%
in 2000 to 61% in 2005. This had resulted from a debt restructuring with
the Paris Club in 2001 and also due to the re-appraisal of GDP, which has
lowered the debt burden as well.
We should first focus on the external account, which is very topical
in both newspapers and TV. The trade deficit has widened significantly. It is
therefore very appropriate to understand what is the external balance.
Should we worry about it widening? Should the country across our border
also worry, because they are also facing a greater deficit?
Why Pakistan Must Break-into the Knowledge Economy
Authors: Amjad Rashid
Published: July 2019

The author emphasizes in this paper that this was the moment in
Pakistan’s economic trajectory for it to learn to leap frog technologically
from a labor intensive economy, by passing the intermediate stages of
resource based and scale based activities, to a knowledge based economy. A
knowledge based economy is one that bases its growth not on increasing
capital or land or labor inputs, but on knowledge. The transition required
is considerable, the author points out.
Local Government Finance in Pakistan Post 2001
Authors: Kardar Shahid
Published: July 2019

The paper calls for financial devolution from the federal and
provincial levels to the local level. The author argues that the present high
degree of centralization has failed to deliver an adequate level of social
services. In addition, while the more important services such as education,
health and water supply had devolved to the local level, higher levels of
government imposed constraints on their expenditures.
Currency Substitution, Capital Mobility and Functional
Forms of Money Demand in Pakistan
Authors: Hsing Yu
Published: July 2019

The demand for M2 in Pakistan is positively influenced by real
GDP and currency appreciation and negatively influenced by the domestic
interest rate and the foreign interest rate. These results confirm
international capital mobility and currency substitution. The Box-Cox
transformation indicates that the log-linear function cannot be rejected
while the linear function can be rejected at the 5% significance level. The
log-linear form of the demand for M2 shows a small value of the mean
absolute percent error and performs better in the CUSUM and CUSUMSQ
tests than the linear form.
Determinants of Female Labor Force Participation in Pakistan
An Empirical Analysis of PSLM (2004-05) Micro Data
Authors: Ejaz Mehak
Published: July 2019

This paper seeks to identify the major determinants of female labor force participation in Pakistan, specifically with reference to rural and urban areas. Limited dependent variable techniques (Logit and Probit) are utilized to determine the factors affecting female labor force participation. This analysis uses data taken from the PSLM (Pakistan Social and Living Standards Measurement Survey, 2004-05) which measure individual and household characteristics of females between the ages of 15-49. Empirical results suggest that age, educational attainment and marital status have significant and positive effects on female labor force participation (FLFP). When women belong to the nuclear family and have access to vehicles, they are more likely are they to participate in economic activities, whereas a large number of children and the availability of home appliances reduces the probability of FLFP. The results imply that reducing the child care burden on females and facilitating educational attainment would lead to a higher labor force participation rate for females in Pakistan.
Pakistan Financial System - The Post-Reform Era
Maintaining Stability and Growth
Authors: Faruqi Shakil
Published: July 2019

The financial system of Pakistan has undergone a sea-change owing to reforms which were implemented over a period of a decade and a half, 1992-2006. The financial system has moved towards promoting the efficiency of financial intermediation while maintaining stability and fostering growth of the economy. Financial repression of the previous decades has receded though it has not been eliminated. Now a shift is warranted for the reform and restructuring of sectoral or sub-sectoral finance which has to be activity based, not institution based. Pakistan’s financial system has entered the post-reform era with all its potentials, complexities and challenges. How well the financial system performs in this era depends on how sustainable the financial regime is and how resilient it is in coping with change and financial shocks, both domestic and global.
Economic Effects of the Recently Signed Pak-China Free
Trade Agreement
Authors: Shabir Samina , Kazmi Reema
Published: July 2019

Factor endowments and cross country differences create regional
disparities among states. The disparity in sizes between the Chinese and
Pakistani economies can lead to the creation of trade patterns that can
positively or negatively impact the latter’s economy. The present paper
attempts to analyze the pros and cons of forming a Free Trade Agreement
(FTA) with China given the size, structure and trade patterns of Pakistan’s
existing economy. It also deals with the crucial questions of: Can the
formation of an FTA with China benefit Pakistan? Will trade liberalization
under an FTA with a neighboring country like China spur Pakistan’s trade
and growth? Looking at trends and trade patterns of Pakistan, the
potential of Pakistan’s existing economy is analyzed to enhance
interregional trade and export diversification by further deepening
cooperation with China. In the light of this analysis, the paper also
outlines a number of recommendations to extract the maximum benefit for
Pakistan’s economy from this recently signed FTA with an old economic
partner, China.

Authors: Arruda Ana Paula Diniz , Mata Camila Pacheco Silveira Martins da , Martins Reane Fonseca , Pacheco Maria do Socorro Pena
Published: July 2019

No ensino das ciências da saúde, tem-se questionado a utilidade dos conhecimentos e sua aplicabilidade social. Novas concepções de ensino e aprendizagem estão sendo incorporadas no contexto escolar e na prática educativa. A valorização dos estudantes, na condição de sujeitos ativos na transformação das práticas de saúde por meio do compromisso social e de agentes (re)construtores dos próprios conhecimentos, é fundamental para a construção de uma sociedade justa. O presente artigo se apresenta como relato da experiência de um projeto de extensão intitulado “Ambiente: espaço de saúde e cidadania”, realizado por alunos e professores de uma instituição privada de Belo Horizonte/MG. A Metodologia da Problematização foi utilizada como estratégia de ensino, pois permite desenvolver temas a partir da observação da realidade social. O trabalho foi realizado em etapas: 1) Escolha de uma comunidade com impactos ambientais e/ou sociais; 2) Identificação de problemas e discussão entre os alunos e professores; 3) Escolha pelos alunos de um problema a ser investigado; 4) Identificação dos pontos-chave e busca de informações na literatura; 5) Elaboração de possíveis intervenções na comunidade visitada, a partir do diagnóstico ambiental; 6) Discussão sobre as intervenções propostas e escolha da intervenção mais adequada ao problema; 7) Retorno à comunidade e aplicação da intervenção com registro fotográfico; 8) Apresentação do trabalho realizado para a comunidade acadêmica por meio de exposição oral. O desenvolvimento do projeto foi uma ferramenta que proporcionou leitura detalhada da comunidade, construindo um entendimento das relações entre os moradores e as consequências de suas ações sobre o ambiente que ocupam. As intervenções realizadas visaram minimizar os efeitos das ações antrópicas nas comunidades com uma possível melhoria na saúde coletiva e ambiental.
Saberes e práticas do pedagogo como coordenador pedagógico
Authors: Quirino Raquel
Published: July 2019

O presente artigo visa suprir uma lacuna existente nas produções acadêmicas acerca dos saberes e práticas necessários ao pedagogo para atuação na coordenação pedagógica das escolas. Problematizando questões diversas sobre essa temática, busca promover uma reflexão profícua nos meios acadêmicos, sobretudo nas faculdades de educação, agências encarregadas da formação do pedagogo. A coordenação pedagógica está relacionada a um cargo ou a uma função? O termo “coordenador pedagógico” constituiuse, apenas, como atenuante para a conotação negativa do termo “supervisor pedagógico”, aquele que exercia mera atividade controladora da prática pedagógica docente? O que se espera hoje da atuação dos profissionais que coordenam a prática pedagógica dos/as professores/as? Quais saberes devem possuir? Qual o seu principal papel? Pode-se considerar o coordenador pedagógico o “educador do educador”? Esperase contribuir para o debate e evidenciar os saberes e práticas demandadas a esse profissional e que devem fazer parte de sua formação profissional.

Este artigo apresenta os resultados das experiências de extensão vinculadas ao projeto de extensão “Cineclube e Educação”, que unia cinema e educação, dentro da universidade. O principal objetivo dessa iniciativa foi a criação de um cineclube, para servir como ambiente favorável à compreensão da linguagem cinematográfica, e a utilização de filmes, como recurso didático permanente dentro da instituição de ensino superior. O projeto exibia filmes e propunha discussões sobre formas e conteúdos do material projetado, vinculando esse debate aos temas que eram trabalhados em sala de aula, para um público externo. Paralelamente, as conversas estendiam-se a outras ações coordenadas ao projeto, tais como grupos de estudos, eventos etc. Como resultados, foram inauguradas e desenvolvidas novas formas de apropriação dos conteúdos curriculares, mostrando ao público que o uso de diferentes materiais pode ser parte importante da didática nas instituições escolares. Dentro dos limites da proposta, barreiras de desigualdades (culturais) foram superadas e dispositivos de educação atualizados e eficazes para os recursos audiovisuais foram recriados, sem se separar saberes, hábitos, ideias, entendimentos, críticas e temáticas entre mais e menos legítimos.
Reflexões sobre a saúde docente no contexto de mercantilização do ensino superior
Authors: Santos Daniel Alberto Santos e , Azevedo Caroline Almeida de , Araújo Tânia Maria de , Soares Jorgana Fernanda de Souza
Published: July 2019

As modificações sociopolíticas e econômicas intensificadas a partir da década de 1990 produziram diversas mudanças no âmbito do trabalho docente. O modelo de organização passou a exigir maior produtividade e qualificação profissional cada vez mais especializada, com base na acentuação do trabalho, provocando, assim, o surgimento de novas atribuições, as quais vêm repercutido negativamente na saúde desses profissionais. Nesse cenário, os docentes passam a conviver com um ambiente precarizado, regido pela lógica empresarial, levando a situações de sobrecarga, de estresse e de competição, além de fragilizar as relações interpessoais e dificultar o uso adequado do tempo livre, aspectos esses que comprometem a qualidade de vida dos docentes. Nesse contexto, e entendendo que a forma como as condições de trabalho são estruturadas desempenha papel crucial no processo saúde-doença ocupacional, o presente ensaio teórico tem como finalidade problematizar o processo de mercantilização nas universidades brasileiras e os efeitos desse processo na saúde docente.

Authors: Doloksaribu Budi , Nababan Dewi Sriastuti
Published: July 2019

Beton merupakan salah satu bahan konstruksi bangunan yang diperoleh dengan cara mencampurkan semen, air, agregat, dan dalam kondisi tertentu bisa menggunakan bahan tambahan (admixture) yang berupa bahan kimia, serat, dan bahan lainnya dengan perbandingan tertentu. Penggunaan beton sebagai bahan konstruksi harus didukung oleh besarnya nilai dari kuat tekan betonnya (fâ€™c) yang dinyatakan pada umur 28 hari dengan menggunakan benda uji berbentuk silinder. Salah satu faktor yang mempengaruhi nilai kuat tekan beton adalah faktor air semen (fas). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh fas terhadap nilai kuat tekan beton dengan menggunakan pasir lokal Merauke dan kerikil yang didatangkan. Metode perencanaan campuran untuk memperoleh mutu beton yang ditargetkan sebesar 20 MPa adalah dengan menggunakan metode ACI. Hasil yang diperoleh dari penelitian ini adalah bahwa semakin besar nilai faktor air semen (fas) mengakibatkan semakin rendahnya nilai kuat tekan beton (fâ€™c) yang dihasilkan. Gradasi agregat halus lokal Merauke tergolong dalam pasir halus (zona III) sementara agregate halus yang didatangkan tergolong dalam pasir agak kasar (zona II).

SISTEM INFORMASI PERSEDIAAN PRODUKSI BERAS PADA UNIT USAHA PENGGILINGAN PADI
Authors: Sumaryanti Lilik , Chotimah Chusnul
Published: July 2019

Usaha penggilingan padi dikategorikan sebagai bisnis produksi, yang menghasilkan beras yang siap untuk dipasarkan. Penggilingan Padi Karya Jaya melayani jasa penggilingan padi dari para petani. Persediaan beras pada gudang penyimpanan diperoleh dari jasa hasil penggilingan dan pembelian beras dari petani. Permasalahan yang timbul dari sistem persediaan beras saat ini yaitu kesulitan dalam menentukan jumlah persediaan beras yang berada di gudang penyimpanan jika dibutuhkan, karena pendataan beras masuk dan keluar dari gudang penyimpanan masih dilakukan dalam buku yang berbeda, sehingga mengharuskan petugas pengelola gudang untuk merekap data beras masuk dan keluar setiap harinya, dan memeriksa gudang  penyimpanan secara langsung untuk megetahui jumlah ketersediaan beras.

Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengembangkan sistem informasi persediaan produksi beras yang dapat menyajikan informasi jumlah ketersediaan beras berdasarkan jenis beras dan membantu dalam mencatat transaksi kegiatan operasional harian pada penggilingan padi.

Coastal area is defined as the interface point where sea and land meet. To the land the area is limited to the area influenced by the sea factors (wind, tide, and sea water infiltration), while to the sea is limited to the area influenced by the land factors. Special concern need to be addressed in regarding to the use of coastal area. As part of the coastal area, littoral zone is very dynamics due to factors of oceanography and human activities. The same fact is experienced by the littoral zone in Sindulang Satu. Physical change has been the fact in this littoral zone.  In relation to the change, it is considered of importance to describe and analysis the characteristics of the sediment and related oceanography factors.  Result of observation indicated that sediment in the littoral zone consist of fine sand, medium sand, very fine sand, coarse sand and pebbles. Silt and boulder were also found. Distribution of sediment granulometry showed that the littoral zone was dominated by fine sand material, bad sorted, asymetrical to small size and symmetrical granulometry, and mesokurtic. Tidal current is the type of current working in the littoral zone and it plays importance role in the sediment.

Published: July 2019

Biota laut sangat berpotensi memberikan senyawa bioaktif untuk kepentingan  farmasitika. Salah satunya adalah karang lunak,  yang telah dilaporkan memproduksi metabolit sekunder sebagai mekanisme pertahanan diri mereka. Karang lunak yang setelah sering menjadi obyek penelitian, tetapi bioaktifnya masih terbuka untuk dipelajari. Penelitian ini difokuskan pada senyawa antibakteri yang dihasilkan oleh karang lunak sebagai langkah awal untuk mendapatkan obat antibiotik baru. Sampel karang lunak (Nephtea sp.) diambil dari perairan Malalayang. Sampel diekstraksi dengan etanol, dan diuapkan untuk mendapatkan ekstrak etanolik. Ekstrak etanolik ini diuji apakah memberikan positif atau efek negatif sebagai  antibakteri. Selanjutnya ekstrak dipartisi dengan etil asetat, butanol, dan heksan untuk menyelidiki aktifitas antibakterinya berdasarkan polaritas masing-masing pelarut. Setiap fraksi diuji aktivitas antibakteri setelah pelarut diuapkan. Uji antibakteri digunakan bakteri Escherichia coli. Konsentrasi ekstrak dilakukan dua konsentrasi yaitu 1 ml dan 0,01 ml dari masing-masing fraksi ke dalam media. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ada zona bening  pada konsentrasi 1 ml, tetapi jauh di bawah diameter zona bening kontrol positif. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa setiap fraksi tidak memiliki efek antibakteri yang baik pada bakteri uji.
