The Effects of Individual and National Cultures in Knowledge Sharing
Authors: Chang Yu-Wei , Hsu Ping-Yu , Shiau Wen-Lung , Cheng Yun-Shan
Published: November 2019

A major challenge for multinational companies is to motivate employees with different individual cultural characteristics and national cultures to share knowledge. Although comparative studies across different countries have been conducted, little is known about the effects of individual cultural differences in this context. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of individual and national cultures in knowledge sharing. The individual cultural characteristics of power distance, individualism/collectivism, and uncertainty avoidance are incorporated into the model as antecedents of knowledge-sharing motivations (organizational rewards, image, and reciprocal benefits). National cultural differences are examined by subjects conducted in the U.S. and China. Results show that power distance is significantly related to reciprocal benefits for the U.S. but not for China. Individualism/collectivism is related to organizational rewards and image for the U.S. but not for China, while individualism/collectivism is significantly related to reciprocal benefits for China but not for the U.S. Uncertainty avoidance is significantly related to reciprocal benefits for the U.S. but not for China. This study provides knowledge-sharing practices and managements for multinational companies attempting to motivate U.S. and Chinese employees to share knowledge.
The Influence of National and Organisational Culture on Knowledge Sharing in Distributed Teams
Authors: Siakas Kerstin , Georgiadou Elli , Siakas Dimitrios
Published: November 2019

In today's competitive business environment increasingly large numbers of organisations use distributed teams in their international operations. This paper provides a basis for discussion and analysis of knowledge sharing between distributed team members working in a global context in different organisational and national cultures. Examining the different cultural values and perceptions related to knowledge sharing, the authors aim at making more explicit the human and cultural dynamics that bear on knowledge sharing and knowledge management success. A lifecycle for knowledge creation and sharing is discussed. The use of Cultural and Organisational Diversity Evaluation (CODE) is proposed for assessing the fit between national and organisational culture. The objective of using the CODE model is to raise awareness of the cultural values and attitudes in distributed teams and in combination with the life-cycle to ensure an effective process quality management and foster a knowledge sharing culture within distributed team members.
Relationship Between the Motivational Language of School Administrators and Tacit Knowledge Sharing of Teachers
Authors: Yener Serdar , Arslan Aykut
Published: November 2019

This chapter investigates motivational language of school administrators and its effect on tacit knowledge sharing - which may hold vital and critical importance – by teachers at schools. While doing this, the contextual factors regarding organisational culture, such as the employee voice and perceived psychological safety are also taken into consideration. It is expected that the use of a motivational language by administrators that reduces uncertainty and helps create understanding and empathy, and which thus forms a positive environment that increase employee voice, will also have an effect on tacit knowledge sharing. Additionally, the effect of motivational language can be enhanced through psychological safety perceived by the employees, which in turn is dependent on the work environment. As such, a higher perception of psychological safety will tend to increase employee voice and the level tacit knowledge sharing. Finally, implications for knowledge literature and suggestions for future studies are also discussed.
The Use of Virtual Environments for Knowledge Sharing in Distance Learning Education, with a View to Informing Industry
Authors: Gustafson-Pearce Olinkha , Grant Susan B.
Published: November 2019

As social media and virtual world technology become increasingly commonplace, this paper considers how educators and industry can leverage the tools and systems of these mediums, to enable engagement and knowledge transfer between parties, with a view to informing industry from the lessons learnt. Virtual Worlds have become an extremely powerful phenomenon with millions of users. Businesses are only now beginning to acknowledge the benefits of using virtual worlds to enhance employee and supplier collaboration and to support new ideas and innovation through knowledge sharing across functions and organizational boundaries. Many businesses are still trying to understand the various implications of integrating internal communication systems with social media tools and private collaboration and networking platforms. The KNOWNET project (an EC funded Marie Curie IAPP) seeks to assess the value of virtual worlds and social networking for knowledge exchange across supply chains.

Published: November 2019

The purpose of this paper is to assess the current knowledge sharing processes in tertiary education in Brunei Darussalam and identify the preferred knowledge sharing activities as well as preferred online applications for the purpose. This study also examined the benefits and barriers of using Web 2.0 as a knowledge sharing platform in tertiary education. A descriptive research method is employed, in which quantitative approach was selected to collect data on the use of Web 2.0 tools for knowledge sharing in tertiary education. This study revealed that respondents highly utilize emails and Web 2.0 applications for knowledge sharing, which are normally provided by their host universities as information and knowledge sharing platforms. Web 2.0 applications, especially social networks, are considered good platforms for sharing knowledge. However, there are some concerns in using Web 2.0 applications for knowledge sharing, mainly in term of privacy issues and reliability of information and knowledge shared due to its high risk of collaborators.

Inclusive Education
Authors: Toson Amy L.-M. , Weisling Nina F.
Published: November 2019

The challenges facing full inclusion are many: time, scheduling, role clarity, self-efficacy, collaboration, parity, classroom management, new and different skill sets, training, and support. If we plan for, train, and schedule special and general education teachers as separate entities, they will be. Instead, all educators and leaders must be viewed, and treated, as part of a single working system. This chapter outlines concrete and actionable strategies for school leaders and general and special educators to support effective inclusion and make it a reality for all students. Hard work? Yes! Worth it? Absolutely!
An Examination of Growth of Publicly-Funded Private Schools in the U.S. and Sweden
Authors: Nordgren R. D. , Persson Hans-Erik
Published: November 2019

This chapter examines the implementation of publicly funded private schools (charters or friskolar) in both Sweden and the U.S. Educators in both nations are currently challenged by the introduction of school choice where they must compete for a limited number of students within their geographic enrollment region. It is important for all educators be aware of the origins and current status of publicly funded private schools (PFPS) as teachers and school leaders can rarely escape their impact due to competition they spur among schools. The two nations were selected based on the fact the U.S. has the most students in PFPSs worldwide, and Sweden has the highest percentage of their students in these schools. The chapter compares and contrasts the history of this model's implementation in the two nations as well as its impact in both student achievement and societal indicators. Despite a majority of the American and Swedish public lining up against the model, it will continue to increase based on the dominant political and economic narratives found in both nations.
Driving Equity in Action Through a Socially and Culturally Situated Pedagogy
Authors: Lalas Jose W. , Strikwerda Heidi L.
Published: November 2019

Culturally relevant teaching and learning is a good approach for complementing equity work, but educators are not particularly familiar with it and intentionally employing it in schools although the concept of culturally relevant pedagogy or CRP has been introduced to the professional literature for more than 20 years ago. It is vital that educators understand the role of culturally relevant teaching and learning in supporting equity as a remedy for eliciting more active and productive student engagement. All educators involved in promoting and implementing equity as a solution toward student engagement and achievement must accept the reality that it needs not only understanding of what educational practice works and does not work but also patience and realistic expectation that equity's challenging work is an on-going and long-lasting advocacy. As educators who are social justice advocates, we must reimagine teaching and learning as a socially and culturally situated pedagogy to increase motivation, engagement, and hope to meet the needs of all our students, when they need them.

Perceptions re Community-Based Projects for Economic and Societal Development
Authors: Baporikar Neeta
Published: November 2019

Perceptions and expectations are integral aspects which affect people's decision making to support community-based development programs. Few studies have explored the perceptions-behaviour relationship and more so the stakeholders' perceptions towards the sustainability of community-based agricultural projects especially aquaculture. An understanding of perceptions for different stakeholder groups in community-based projects can clear misconceptions, and identify factors that can unleash the full potential of the community-based projects, so as to achieve sustainable societal development. In Namibia, four out of six community-based fish farm projects have failed. Hence, there is a need to explore stakeholder perceptions for improvement. Adopting a qualitative research method with interview guide to collect primary data, the aim of the article is to understand the status quo, re-define stakeholders' roles, expectations, and perceptions about consultation, participation, empowerment, ownership, etc., of community-based aquaculture project improvement and sustainability in Namibia.
Agent Banking and Financial Inclusion
Authors: Nisha Nabila , Nawrin Kashfiya , Bushra Anika
Published: November 2019

Access to financial services has always been limited in Bangladesh. The need for financial inclusion has thus largely surfaced in the country. As a result, agent banking services were implemented via an inclusive digital financial program across rural and unbanked areas of Bangladesh. Despite having a significant impact upon financial inclusion across developing countries, literature in this realm lacks in-depth investigations on agent banking and its impact on financial inclusion. This study thus aims to represent the overall aspect of agent banking and its association with financial inclusion in the setting of the developing country of Bangladesh. For this research, a case study approach has been employed. The study highlights that agent banking is an effective and credible way of entrenching financial deepening across the unbanked areas of Bangladesh. Moreover, the study emphasizes that agent banking can secure access to financial services for the rural poor and generate wholesome development for Bangladesh.

Published: November 2019

This research examines the factors that contribute to the utilization of social media by the small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) operating in the food industry in Brunei Darussalam. It also investigates how social media provides opportunities to SMEs. This research was done using a quantitative method through primary research that was focused on small and medium-sized food vendors in Brunei Darussalam. Survey questions were distributed to food SMEs and vendors, who use social media to assist them in conducting their business, to serve as a guideline to understand how social media networks can lead to positive business outcomes and how understanding key factors may lead to optimizing product portfolios and to discover new opportunities for their business to expand. Based on the authors' research, cost effectiveness was found to influence social media usage among the small and medium food vendors in Brunei. Factors such as trust, interactivity and compatibility, however were not found to be the factors influencing the utilization of social media.
Silent Voices

Published: November 2019

Traditionally, face-to-face bullying has been major problem among adolescents, especially those deemed at-risk. With the rise in the use of and advancements in mobile technologies, the Internet 2.0, and smart phones, a new form of bullying has been on the rise resulting from the increase in access to technologies and by association, social media outlets such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Cyberbullying, as it has been denoted, can occur at any time of the day on all social media platforms resulting in the potential of face-to-face victims enduring the abuse of their aggressors on an almost 24/7 basis. As such, cyberbullying can trigger numerous emotional and physical stressors among students. The purpose of this study was to discover the perceptions middle school students have about cyberbullying and their role as either victim, perpetrator, or bystander. The results of the study speak to a broader and emerging narrative indicating the psychological challenges faced by developing adolescent minds in negotiating face-to-face and virtual relationships.

Authors: Hamuddin Budianto , Syahdan Syahdan , Rahman Fathu , Rianita Dian , Derin Tatum
Published: November 2019

This present study probes and reveals the student's motives in their online interactive communication which can be considered as a cyberbullying act. The data is collected from 157 blog archives and interview sessions with 12 selected students. These students were selected purposively from Universitas Lancang Kuning, Indonesia, due to their high frequency of producing comments in their blogs which are cyberbullying in nature. From a total of 6,259 comments, this study focused on 255 that indicates online aggression. Data analysis reveals in detail three most common motives of cyberbullying among university students in their online interactive communication, i.e., just for fun (79%), to fight back (9%), and to express upsetting feelings (5%). Thus, this study's findings are different from past and present studies about cyberbullying, which sees cyberbullying fully as a threat as a common point. Instead of seeing cyberbullying as only a danger, this study clearly sees in some parts that cyberbullying can simply be an act of playing or exaggerating with language.
Utilization of Bagasse Ash in Concrete and Curing it by Treated Hospital Wastewater
Authors: Vinayak S.  , Bhovi Akshay Y.
Published: November 2019

This study examined the potential use of sugarcane bagasse ash as a partial cement replacement material and treated domestic wastewater was made for the mixing and curing of concrete. The bagasse ash was collected from the Malaprabha sugar industry, Belagavi, and the treated wastewater was collected from Dr. Prabhakar Kore Hospital & MRC, Belagavi. The work involved the design of M20 grade concrete with w/c ratio of 0.40 and also chemical admixture was made used. The study evaluated the slump, compressive strength, and split tensile strength of concrete with different cement replacement ratios. An equal number of cubes and cylinders were casted and were cured in both tap water and treated wastewater separately for a curing period of 28 days and 56 days. The compressive and tensile strength results were obtained after 28 days of curing period for cubes and cylinders. Results show that replacement of cement with bagasse ash and curing them under treated wastewater obtained good results, which supports waste minimization and utilization. The blended concrete compressive strength results also indicate that the easing of sulphate attack will be drastically reduced when cured under treated wastewater.

Multimodal Biometrics Using Fingerprint, Palmprint, and Iris With a Combined Fusion Approach
Authors: Sanjekar Priti Shivaji , Patil Jayantrao B.
Published: November 2019

Multimodal biometrics is the frontier to unimodal biometrics as it integrates the information obtained from multiple biometric sources at various fusion levels i.e. sensor level, feature extraction level, match score level, or decision level. In this article, fingerprint, palmprint, and iris are used for verification of an individual. The wavelet transformation is used to extract features from fingerprint, palmprint, and iris. Further the PCA is used for dimensionality reduction. The fusion of traits is employed at three levels: feature level; feature level combined with match score level; and feature level combined with decision level. The main objective of this research is to observe effect of combined fusion levels on verification of an individual. The performance of three cases of fusion is measured in terms of EER and represented with ROC. The experiments performed on 100 different subjects from publicly available databases demonstrate that combining feature level with match score level and feature level with decision level fusion both outperforms fusion at only a feature level.

Understanding the behaviors and interests of these platforms' users become a challenge that can help in different areas such as recommendation and filtering. In this article, an approach is proposed for classifying Twitter users with respect to their interests based on their Arabic tweets. A Multinomial Naïve Bayes machine learning algorithm is used for such classification. The proposed approach has been developed as a web-based software system that is integrated with Twitter using Twitter API. An experimental study on Arabic tweets has been investigated on the proposed system as a case study.
Introducing Word's Importance Level-Based Text Summarization Using Tree Structure
Authors: Jha Nitesh Kumar , Mitra Arnab
Published: November 2019

Text-summarization plays a significant role towards quick knowledge acquisition from any text-based knowledge resource. To enhance the text-summarization process, a new approach towards automatic text-summarization is presented in this article that facilitates level (word importance factor)-based automated text-summarization. An equivalent tree is produced from the directed-graph during the input text processing with WordNet. Detailed investigations further ensure that the execution time for proposed automatic text-summarization, is strictly following a linear relationship with reference to the varying volume of inputs. Further investigation towards the performance of proposed automatic text-summarization approach ensures its superiority over several other existing text-summarization approaches.
Detection and Prevention of Twitter Users with Suicidal Self-Harm Behavior
Authors: Bouarara Hadj Ahmed
Published: November 2019

Recently, with the development of communication means such as 4G and the rapid growth of the use of mobile devices (smartphones and tablets) the number of twitter users has increased exponentially. By the end of 2018 Twitter had 321 million active users with over 600 million tweets every day. However, all this information will have no use if we cannot access the meaning it carries. The authors' idea is to identify Twitter users with suicidal or self-harm behaviors by analyzing their tweets using an algorithm inspired from the social life of Asian elephants. The objective is to prevent the situations of depressions, threats of suicide or any other form of self-destructive behavior that exists on Twitter.

A Pragmatic Assessment of Approaches and Paradigms in Software Risk Management Frameworks
Authors: Aggarwal Alankrita , Dhindsa Kanwalvir Singh , Suri P.K.
Published: November 2019

Software risk management involves the process of prior recognition and the assessment of vulnerabilities with the classification approach so that the risk avoidance mechanism can be implemented. It includes one of the key factors in software project management with the goal to improve quality as well as the avoidance of vulnerabilities. The term defect refers to the imperfection that may arise because of reasons including programmers' skills, lack of suitable testing strategies, and many others. When there is difference in actual and expected result or meeting the wrong requirement it is called a defect and it forms the basis of risk escalation in the software project, which is obviously not accepted in any type of deployment. To make software reliable, the software should be risk-free from any type of vulnerability factor. Along with reliability, another issue that has arisen is software quality in which the associated factor is with software risk management. The quality of software is to reduce the occurrence of risks and defects with the objective to produce effective valued software.

Published: November 2019

Recently, a new wave of business opportunities has emerged by integrating social media and commerce. Although many hospitality organizations have considered online social communities as potential channels for promotion, most of them have failed to obtain sales from community members. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to propose and examine a new research model that can capture cognitive- and affective-based trust elements influencing fans' behavioral intention to purchase by affecting their firm commitment. A survey of 393 Facebook participants found strong support for the model. The results indicated that Facebook fans' perceptions of firm commitment could be a strong predictor of their buying intention. Factors of building cognitive trust (i.e. perceived reputation, perceived ability, and information quality) as well as affective trust (i.e. perceived benevolence, perceived integrity and perceived social presence) were the critical components significantly influencing fans' firm commitment. Theoretical and practical implications of the results are discussed.
Los principios geométricos del diseño arquitectónico medieval

Se cuenta una anédocta sobre los arquitectos musulmanes: que les cortaban las manos cuando finalizaban una obra considerada maestra, o en algunos casos hasta se les mataba. Esta cruel acción podría señalarnos que el arquitecto musulmán realizaba dibujos para la materialización de sus obras. Si el diseño previo de las construcciones era valorado de este modo en las sociedades islámicas, no menos relevancia pudo tener en la Europa Occidental durante la Edad Media.

Published: November 2019

La extraordinaria difusión del dibujo y modelado por ordenador en la última década, hasta llegar a hacerlos prácticamente universales, ofrece la oportunidad de una reforma profunda de los métodos y los programas docentes de las materias que giran alrededor de la representación de la arquitectura, y de la Geometría Descriptiva en. particular. A grandes rasgos, se están dando dos reacciones opuestas ante esta situación. Algunos profesores parecen entender que este estado de cosas no afecta a la docencia de la Geometría Descriptiva, puesto que los métodos de la disciplina son igualmente válidos si se materializan por medio del lápiz o del dibujo por ordenador en dos dimensiones.

El tiempo del modelo (virtual y real) de representación de la arquitectura
Authors: Juan Gutiérrez Pablo Jeremías
Published: November 2019

El tiempo es un factor muy raramente considerado a la hora de comparar los modelos empleados para la representación de la arquitectura (construida o por construir). Es por este motivo por el que podemos decir que:
1. Temporalmente hablando, dicha comparación es realizada en el mismo plano, es decir, suponiendo las mismas condiciones de temporalidad, y
2. Que trabajamos inconscientemente con la hipótesis de que el tiempo que posibilitan y desarrollan los modelos virtuales y reales son uno y el mismo, lo que distorsiona nuestras conclusiones.
Veremos cómo el factor temporal debe necesariamente ser considerado explícitamente después de haber sido nítidamente definido porque su introducción en el problema que plantean los análisis de los modelos de representación arrojará una nueva luz y, como ya hemos apuntado, inéditas conclusiones. (En primer lugar) definiremos, para cada uno de los contextos que se plantean, lo que significa, causa e implica una temporalidad inevitablemente múltiple pero con un denominador común fruto del orden que pauta una sucesión ideal por irreal, (en segundo lugar) compararemos dichas temporalidades para localizar las diferencias y cualificarlas de cara a (en tercer lugar) enfrentar originalmente los modelos reales y los virtuales. De esta manera seremos conscientes de las renuncias que efectuamos cuando escogemos trabajar con uno de los dos modelos analizados pero, también, de las posibilidades de relación y de desarrollo que, inherentemente, esta elección implica.
La representación de la arquitectura forma parte de las herramientas de un proceso de trabajo (fundamentalmente de ideación) que necesariamente debe ser interactivo, y dicha interactividad únicamente será auténticamente fértil siendo conocedores y comprendiendo los contextos donde desarrollamos dichos modelos. Es en este sentido en el que un modelo virtual (digital) desplegará ante nosotros distintos caminos a los que nos han tenido acostumbrados los modelos físicos o materiales (no digitales): en algunos casos mejores (más eficientes y abstractos), en otros casos diferentes (en tanto en cuanto la finalidad será idéntica) y en muchos otros casos demostrada (aunque ignoradamente) insuficientes.

Aun siendo en la actualidad una alternativa de documento gráfico poco extendida, la fotografía métrica, por su naturaleza, nos ofrece un medio directo de representación patrimonial, incrementando significativamente el valor documental de un registro gráfico, pues va más allá de la mera información geométrica.

En efecto, este tipo de documentación a la vez que permite prescindir de la subjetividad interpretativa inherente a los productos gráficos obtenidos tradicionalmente de forma derivada a partir del empleo de la fotogrametría, minimiza la perdida de información gráfica en el proceso de documentación, aportando otros aspectos esenciales para la correcta interpretación del elemento a documentar.

Este artículo pone de manifiesto la potencialidad, las ventajas y las aplicaciones ulteriores de la fotogrametría, en su estado puro y natural, como una alternativa más de documentación gráfica del patrimonio en general y, en particular, de un campo, la arqueología, que precisa emprender, sin más dilación, el salto definitivo a las técnicas de registro gráfico más avanzadas.

Como paradigma de lo expuesto los autores presentan el resultado de sus trabajos de documentación gráfica llevados a cabo bajo la experimentación de esta modalidad de registro grafico aplicada a la intervención arqueológica desarrollada, hace ahora un año de su finalización, en la Capilla Real de la S.M.P. Catedral de Sevilla con motivo de la sustitución de su solería.
Polifonía gráfica. Hacia la integración de códigos gráficos y extra-gráficos en un único discurso narrativo en la era digital
Authors: Marcos Carlos L. , Allepuz Pedreño Ángel
Published: November 2019

Más allá de la mera representación gráfica, las nuevas herramientas digitales permiten también desarrollar la comunicación gráfica con procedimientos que le son propios y con recursos de gran capacidad narrativa. Entre ellos cabe destacar la idea de polifonía gráfica como estrategia capaz de vertebrar un discurso gráfico de forma global, armonizando en estratos los distintos elementos que integran este tipo de narración.

Esta estrategia de polifonía gráfica como aglutinadora de los dibujos e imágenes, de los códigos gráficos y extra-gráficos, resulta enormemente útil a la hora de abordar el dibujo de presentación característico de los concursos de arquitectura en los que una narración eficaz del proyecto resulta determinante.

Este artículo intenta poner de manifiesto las disonancias existentes entre los códigos gráficos y los no-gráficos, así como las dificultades que para el dibujante presenta la inevitable contingencia de tener que utilizarlos simultáneamente en un mismo dibujo. Se plantean brevemente las vías que se consideran idóneas para resolver la discordancia entre la percepción simultánea y sincrónica de la información inherente a lo grafico frente a lo lineal y secuencial de la información que caracteriza a un mensaje de texto o a uno numérico. Un problema que la polifonía gráfica es capaz de resolver satisfactoriamente.

Además se considera la posibilidad de codificación de aspectos ajenos a las condiciones geométricas, topológicas y dimensionales del artefacto arquitectónico como son las cualidades cambiantes de la arquitectura -interacción humana, factores ambientales y culturales-.
La cantería gótica en la comarca del Maestrazgo. Modelos virtuales de los sistemas abovedados de tres capillas ochavadas
Authors: Cabeza González Manuel , Soler Estrela Alna , Máñez Pitarch María Jesús , Garfella Rubio José T.
Published: November 2019

Entre los siglos XIII y XV, la comarca histórica del Maestrazgo, vivió un momento de gran expansión económica que se vio reflejado en el auge de la arquitectura gótica, y de forma destacada en las poblaciones de Morella y Sant Mateu por su situación estratégica entre los reinos de Valencia y Aragón. Estas dos poblaciones albergan algunas de las más relevantes construcciones de esta época de las que, sin embargo, no existe información suficiente sobre su historia y procesos constructivos. Para cubrir este vacío se propone el estudio de tres casos concretos de un mismo tipo de capilla ochavada (1) que, según las fuentes bibliográficas consultadas, podrían haber sido realizadas por el mismo maestro cantero, Domenech Prunyonosa. El objetivo consiste en determinar las propuestas de los modelos teóricos utilizados a partir de un levantamiento topográfico y fotogramétrico de cada uno de los casos seleccionados lo suficientemente preciso para poder definir el despiece exacto de los nervios y plementerías que configuran sus correspondientes sistemas abovedados.

En la documentación del Patrimonio arquitectónico se emplean métodos, técnicas e instrumentos propios, tanto por el entorno físico como por los agentes intervinientes, especialmente si son alumnos de Edificación. En la toma de datos procede combinar instrumentación de control general con medidas directas, armonizando croquis y agudeza de análisis.

El trabajo de gabinete requiere adoptar un equilibrio entre la cantidad de datos manejados (tanto si se trata de puntos sueltos como de una nube de puntos) y la selección de los mismos.

Además del trabajo de toma de datos y de la gestión documental, la representación de las particularidades arquitectónicas de las edificaciones históricas y el establecimiento de criterios fijos para un grafismo coherente de las conclusiones resultan relevantes para la presentación de resultados.
Immersive experiences during the conceptual phase of the architectural project: virtual reality as a tool for user participation in the co-creation process
Authors: Galán Serrano Julia , García-García Carlos , Felip Miralles Francisco
Published: November 2019

The high competitiveness of the current market makes it difficult to contract unique projects for singlefamily homes. Therefore, it is necessary to sharpen inventiveness in order to offer the customer a different vision compared to the proposals of other competitors.

In this context, we propose to incorporate the user in the design process during the conceptual development stage of the construction proposal, using Virtual Reality (VR). Introducing the user to an immersive sensory experience would allow him/her to live his/her own living space before being built, allowing designers and architects to focus attention on the personalized study of natural lighting and the design of the walls that act as a connection between the interior and exterior space of the home. This way of approaching the project can provide a competitive advantage that would contribute to the positioning of the architectural studio as a referent in the market.

This paper analyses different current VR systems that could be adapted during the work process, and discusses the advantage that this project methodology has for architectural studios compared to other more conventional ones.
ENTRE A LETRA E A MELODIA
Authors: Rojas Oliveira Sirley da Silva
Published: November 2019

Neste trabalho analisaram-se poemas de Waly Salomão musicados por Jards Macalé e, mais recentemente, por Adriana Calcanhoto. Buscou-se na relação entre música e poesia, ressaltar suas semelhanças, tensões e diferenças, dadas as mudanças culturais ocorridas entre as décadas de 1960/70 e a atual. Utilizou-se como suporte teórico, principalmente, os trabalhos de Solange Ribeiro de Oliveira, José Miguel Wisnik e Luiz Tatit. Para isso, fez-se uma análise do tropicalismo, procurando compreender a inserção de Waly Salomão nesse movimento, por meio dos estudos de Haroldo de Campos, Augusto de Campos, Heloísa Buarque de Hollanda, dentre outros.
PRINCESA
Authors: Miranda Marchini Luciana
Published: November 2019

Princesa, livro publicado em 1994 pela editora Sensibili alle foglie, de autoria de Fernanda Farias de Albuquerque e Maurizio Jannelli, se enquadra, em muitos aspectos, no fenômeno literário denominado Letteratura Italiana della Migrazione. A escritura do livro se deu no cárcere de Rebibbia, na cidade de Roma, onde a brasileira Fernanda relata sua história de vida para Giovanni Tamponi, um ex-assaltante de bancos de origem sarda, e para Maurizio Jannelli, um ex-combatente das Brigadas Vermelhas, o qual, depois de entrar em contato com o universo trans e com aspectos da cultura nordestina, transcreve e traduz para o italiano os manuscritos que contam a saga da autora, desde o agreste paraibano até o cárcere romano. Uma escritura que alcança um imenso sucesso editorial e de crítica graças ao acondicionamento do relato oral no interior da letra.
ENTRE PÓS-MODERNO E PÓS-COLONIAL
Authors: Fazzini Luca
Published: November 2019

Considerando algumas das reflexões acerca do pós-moderno e do pós-colonial, expressas em particular por Boaventura de Sousa Santos, Fredric Jameson e Remo Ceserani, com o artigo “Entre pós-moderno e pós-colonial: memória e perda no romance português da Guerra Colonial ” proponho uma leitura comparada dos romances portugueses Os cus de Judas (1979), de António Lobo Antunes, e Jornada de África (1989), de Manuel Alegre. Ambos os romances, solicitando uma ampla reflexão acerca da experiência traumática da Guerra Colonial e da repressão fascista, manifestam o enfraquecimento dos sujeitos fortes da modernidade ocidental  ̶ como a Nação e o Estado – e a necessidade pós-colonial de repensar a identidade portuguesa e a memória coletiva, numa perspetiva pós-colonial, perante o desmorono do império ultramarino.

Passados mais de quarenta anos da Revolução dos Cravos e do fim do longo projeto imperialista português, ainda é emergente uma revisitação crítica do passado do país, sobretudo em relação ao salazarismo e às imagens propagadas pelo regime a respeito da “missão civilizadora” de Portugal, que abrandaria e justificaria a manutenção do anacrônico sistema colonial até o último quartel do século XX. Neste artigo, pretendemos discutir alguns aspectos das especificidades do colonialismo português a partir de dois filmes de Manoel de Oliveira, a saber: Non, ou a vã glória de mandar (1990) e Um filme falado (2003).
