Este artigo é um convite à reflexão sobre a construção de uma personagem a partir da sua residência, transformada em museu alguns anos após a sua morte. São analisados os dados biográficos, o contexto histórico e o objeto eleito, pela esfera governamental, para homenagear um político brasileiro que de alguma forma, poderia contribuir para a construção da ideia de nação que se pretendia disseminar junto à sociedade. Neste âmbito a vida privada ganha relevância ao se instalar um museu – espaço público dedicado à memória – em uma residência – espaço da intimidade familiar.
Visitar museus: um hábito socialmente construído e desconhecido pelos turistas
Authors: Gonçalves Telma Lasmar
Published: October 2021

Esta pesquisa está ancorada na hipótese de que os museus franceses, equipamentos inseridos nos roteiros turísticos e culturais, produzem exposições temporárias, que, de maneira geral, não atraem tanto a atenção dos turistas de massa, mas sim dos moradores locais e dos turistas franceses, que buscam apreciar e conhecer, de uma só vez, um conjunto de obras. O objetivo deste artigo é compreender como essa dinâmica de visitação de exposições temporárias em museus é socialmente construída. Para tanto, olha para a realidade parisiense (uma das mais significativas do mundo em termos de atividades museais) e busca identificar o perfil majoritário do público das exposições temporárias realizadas nos anos de 2017, 2018 e 2019. O estudo fez uso da pesquisa de natureza qualitativa, do tipo descritiva, utilizando como técnica a observação sistemática/participante, com o objetivo de identificar faixa etária, nacionalidade, gênero, interesse explicitado pelas obras, participação em visitas mediadas e uso de áudio guias, pelo público visitante dessas exposições. Como base teórica, buscou-se respaldo em autores que discutem, principalmente, a presença dos públicos nos museus, a tipologia de públicos e os hábitos de frequentação em museus. Constatou-se que o frequentador das exposições temporárias, interessado em conhecer mais sobre arte e história, é o próprio cidadão francês, parisiense ou não e, sobretudo, com idade acima de 60 anos.

Authors: Lewinski Cinara Isolde Koch , Santos Rodrigo Luis dos
Published: October 2021

O artigo tem como proposta pesquisar os sentidos e as representações que os resquícios do patrimônio ferroviário da cidade de São Leopoldo têm para alguns moradores da cidade e funcionários da estrada de ferro. O município mantém alguns vestígios da ferrovia, apesar do abandono e do processo de deterioração que estão sofrendo desde a década de oitenta. Atualmente, esses fragmentos servem de sociotransmissores das memórias e histórias da trajetória da estrada de ferro e que por meio das narrativas dos entrevistados são constantemente relembradas. Portanto, ao discorrer sobre o assunto inevitavelmente se falará sobre o abandono de alguns bens ferroviários da cidade de São Leopoldo considerando as questões de memória e do esquecimento e deste modo e, talvez, pensar sobre possíveis potencialidades do patrimônio da estrada de ferro para a construção do conhecimento histórico.

Diante da importância que as ferrovias tiveram na construção de nossa sociedade contemporânea e o traumático corte de investimento que este meio de transporte popular sofreu no final do século XX, principalmente na região do nordeste brasileiro, apresentamos neste artigo uma ação artística, denomindada Ferroviagem que se propôs a expandir a fotografia enquanto um “objeto museológico” para a formação de um laço de união entre arte, tecnologia e memória através da projeção mapeada. Ferroviagem une fotografia, instalação sonora e arquitetura abrindo novas possibilidades de repensar o patrimônio arquitetônico ligado às vias férreas do estado do Ceará e para, além disto, ativar memórias coletivas na comunidade. Trata-se de uma ação de coleta de fotografias históricas para despertar sentimentos, memórias e afetos ligados aos trens naquela cidade. Como resultado desta ação se observou uma mudança na política de conservação daquele patrimônio por parte da prefeitura local.
CREDIT RISK AND COMMERCIAL BANKS’ PERFORMANCE IN NIGERIA: A PANEL MODEL APPROACH
Authors: T. Funso KOLAPO , R. Kolade AYENI , M. Ojo OKE
Published: October 2021

The study carried out an empirical investigation into the quantitative effect of credit risk on the performance of commercial banks in Nigeria over the period of 11 years (2000-2010). Five commercial banking firms were selected on a cross sectional basis for eleven years. The traditional profit theory was employed to formulate profit, measured by Return on Asset (ROA), as a function of the ratio of Non-performing loan to loan & Advances (NPL/LA), ratio of Total loan & Advances to Total deposit (LA/TD) and the ratio of loan loss provision to classified loans (LLP/CL) as measures of credit risk. Panel model analysis was used to estimate the determinants of the profit function. The results showed that the effect of credit risk on bank performance measured by the Return on Assets of banks is cross-sectional invariant. That is the effect is similar across banks in Nigeria, though the degree to which individual banks are affected is not captured by the method of analysis employed in the study. A 100 percent increase in non-performing loan reduces profitability (ROA) by about 6.2 percent, a 100 percent increase in loan loss provision also reduces profitability by about 0.65percent while a 100 percent increase in total loan and advances increase profitability by about 9.6 percent. Based on our findings, it is recommended that banks in Nigeria should enhance their capacity in credit analysis and loan administration while the regulatory authority should pay more attention to banks’ compliance to relevant provisions of the Bank and other Financial Institutions Act (1999) and prudential guidelines.

Authors: B.A. Azeez , L.A. Sulaiman
Published: October 2021

The responsiveness of the market financial instruments in terms of prices to reflect market information and the inability of information privileged market participant(s) to out-perform other counterparts pose the quest to test whether the strong form of market efficiency prevail in the Nigerian capital market or not. With the extraction of the returns on 240 stocks from the database of the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), a comparison was made between a constructed random portfolio and a 3-year annualized average return on the portfolios of the mutual fund industry. In this empirical study, the analysis deduced that mutual funds were unable to out-perform the random portfolios created from the index stocks, which thus implies that the strong form of market efficiency holds in the Nigerian Capital Market. Nonetheless, profound analysis on stock volatility risk is essential to avoid substantial loss in the stock market.

Authors: Ishmael Omah , I .P Osamor
Published: October 2021

Purpose: This paper examines the concept of relevant cost, its relevance in decision making analysis, its decision advantage in both short and long-term planning decisions and how it influences the decision maker’s choice of preference/priorities. The study is based on primary information (data) tailored to allow individual respondents comprehend the concept of “relevant cost”. Forty (40) closely related questionnaires were prepared and administered in some business retail traders in “ALABA INTERNATIONAL MARKET”. A review of related literature was also applied to have a general over-view of the concept of relevant cost ideology. It was revealed that relevant cost or costs are costs appropriate to a specific management decision. They are estimated future costs, that are different under alternative courses of action for a specific problem. It consist of both fixed and variable costs. Relevance in decision making is independent of cost behavior pattern. It influences the decision maker’s choice of preference and priority. If a decision is to be taken to either add a product or drop a product, salary of a supervisor or managing director is irrelevant. It is a differential (or incremental) cash flow that forms a component of relevant cost.

Based on the DeLone and McLean’s (1992, 2002, 2003) theory of information system success model, a dichotomous dimensional model for classifying e-commerce website applications/status was developed. The proposed model was tested via surveying small businesses in Australia. The results of this study indicate that the proposed dichotomous classifications of the e-commerce website are meaningful, and unveil that e-commerce success and benefits accrue to firms are determined by the environmental context of the website system applications.

Electronic Business (e-Business) is revolutionizing the way of communication between Internal and external stakeholders in an organization. E-business can lead to competitive advantage and at the same time, increase profitability. There are several factors resulting on the success of e-business. One of the most important factors is Security. It is thus clear that information technology (IT) and the emerging e-business application and related to security are gaining a pivotal role in managing supply chain. This paper examines the impact of E-business on supply chain on information security aspect among other types of supply chains. The current paper reviews security and supply chain literatures and then investigates framework of information technology in supply chain management. Areas of supply chain which need security attention are then proposed in e-supply chain information security framework and this will be considered as a guideline for managers to find out if their e-supply chain network is secure enough. Through the paper, one realizes that Information Security in every information based-system will be vital.

Published: October 2021

The article describes the results of experimental studies on the development of new active electrocatalysts for their use in the electrodes of the membrane-electrode block of a solid-oxide hydrogen-air fuel cell. Since the composition of the synthesized catalysts has a significant effect on its electrokinetic activity (electrical conductivity), the synthesis of nanoscale bimetallic catalysts of various qualitative and quantitative compositions is carried out. The choice of metal for the synthesis of the catalyst was determined by its electronic structure. The electrocatalytic activity of the developed catalysts was evaluated by studying the activity of the catalysts with respect to the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. The developed bimetallic PVPD-Pt/ZnO/C catalysts exhibit activity with respect to the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide at 40–50 °C.

The article represents the bibliometric analysis of the documentary corpus devoted to studying the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site selected of the database Russian Science Citation Index. It shows the publication dynamics over a thirty-year period, the specific structure of the documentary corpus; revels that the documents are thematically structured as follows: research of the medical and biological consequences of radiation exposure (genetic consequences of ionizing radiation exposure; diseases induced by radiation exposure); assessment of the consequences of nuclear tests for the environment (environmental monitoring, radiation situation, pollution of separate environment elements), historical and socio-legal aspects of investigating the test site activity consequences.
HISTORICAL SEISMIC STATIONS IN USSR AND REGISTRATION UNDERGROUND NUCLEAR EXPLOSIONS
Authors: Nepeina K. S. , An V. A.
Published: October 2021

During the Cold War of the 20th century and the classification of information between the largest nuclear states the Soviet Union (USSR) and the United States of America (USA), data on the registration of nuclear explosions were not published in the reports of the Unitied Seismic Observation Service. However, underground nuclear explosions were recorded. For example, underground nuclear explosions, produced by the United States on Amchitka island, were recorded by more than 30 stations of the USSR at epicentral distances Δ ~ 8–160°. Tests at the Nevada Test Site were found especially well throughout the USSR seismic stations. As a result of processing the bulletins of registered events, checking the values with the time service, the registration parameters for the Soviet stations were destroyed. However, thanks to an employee of the laboratory 5-s of the Institute of Physics of the Earth named after O.Yu. Schmidt of the USSR Academy of Sciences Kh.D. Rubinstein is kept at the Institute for the Dynamics of Geospheres of the Russian Academy of Sciences named after Academician M.A. Sadovsky. Only after 1985 messages from some seismic stations of the former USSR began to be published in the operational reports of the Geophysical Service of the Russian Academy of Sciences. This material is intended to publish that layer of invaluable information on the registration of underground nuclear explosions, made by the United States, which has been so carefully created for decades, and has not been published anywhere at the moment.
Hybrid solid-state electrolytes for lithium metal batteries
Authors: Cao Peng
Published: October 2021

Rechargeable Li metal batteries using Li metal anodes have attracted worldwide interest because of their high theoretical specific capacity (3860 mAh g-1) and lowest electrode potential (-3.040 V vs standard hydrogen electrode). The critical barriers limiting their commercial application include uncontrolled dendritic Li growth and the unstable Li-electrolyte interface resulting in short circuit and possible explosion. Solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) in place of liquid electrolytes are deemed a promising method to solve the safety concerns.

Herein, we design and synthesise a series of hybrid solid-state electrolytes (HSSEs) that is Li-ion-conducting and electron insulating for the Li metal anode. The Ta-Nb co-doped ceramic powders with high ionic conductivity (1.04 ×10-3 S cm-1) dispersed in a polymer matrix could significantly enhance HSSEs mechanical properties, and decrease the polymer’s local crystallization, which is favourable for Li-ion transfer. The symmetric cell of PEO-LLZTNO HSSEs showed stable cycling with 56 mV polarization potential under 0.1mA cm2 for  1040 h at 60 oC, indicating a stable Li | PEO-LLZTNO 10% | Li interface with the ability to suppress lithium dendrite growth. This talk will also present a modified PVDF based HSSE that demonstrates excellent electrochemical performance when it is paired with a high-voltage cathode material NCM811. This cell can survive from the nail test in the air. The PVDF based HSSEs could power a portable game player and wearable ECG kit in the real application. Our research shows that the HSSEs would be promising candidates for the long lifespan safety batteries.
A Generic Process Model for Sociocultural Data Collection and Decision Making in Facility Programming
Authors: Popov Lubomir , Popov Lubomir
Published: October 2021

This is the third paper in a trilogy of papers that started with developing the philosophical and theoretical foundations for the study of sociospatial interactions. In the second paper, we created a guiding framework for facilities programming information collection and decision making. In this paper, we use that guiding framework and develop a process model for the programming process. Our methodology involves systems theory, activity theory, and task analysis. We present a generic model of the data collection process in facilities programming. This model delineates process steps, their sequence, and their content. The intent of this model is to provide structure and content suggestions for developing project-specific facilities programing research designs for information collection, processing, and programmatic decision-making. It is a plan for action, articulated and explicated so that professional programmers can use it as a template for organizing their work. This process model is tentative and general, intended as a guide for creating customized process designs for each programming project, considering the specifics of the building type and the programming situation.
Frustration, Examination, Appreciation: An Autoethnography of a Psychotherapist’s Work with a Challenging Patient
Authors: Tyson June
Published: October 2021

Treating challenging patients can be a rewarding or detrimental experience for a psychotherapist. Countertransference plays a large part of the success of the therapeutic relationship. Countertransference is what gets stimulated in the psychotherapist in response to what the patient is experiencing. Countertransference includes feelings, thoughts, and sensations. If a psychotherapist has not examined his or her own issues of countertransference, the results can be harmful to both the patient and the professional. However, if a psychotherapist is aware of his or her feelings of countertransference, it can be used to bring about growth and development to the patient and the psychotherapist. This article is an autoethnographical account of a psychotherapist’s (my) experience with a challenging patient. It describes how I went through a process of frustration, examination, and appreciation as a result of a conflict between myself and the patient. I used a diary to record my feelings about the patient; this assisted me in confronting my countertransference and ultimately reconciling with the patient and using the experience to bring about healing for myself and the patient.
