Per a això s'exemplifiquen quatre situacions que transcorren a la ciutat de Barcelona en el període de temps que va des de principis del segle XIX fins als anys 60 del segle XX. El document pretén tenir una visió holística i proporcionar una perspectiva general de la problemàtica de les relacions de la societat amb l'arquitectura. El període citat es mostra idoni per encadenar cronològicament quatre situacions que s'interrelacionen entre si. Els esdeveniments es desenvolupen durant l'expansió de Barcelona i afecten una mateixa societat. El document es mostra com una revisió històrica que fixa el seu interès en les relacions socials amb l'arquitectura com a punt interès.
O retorno do Messias: ele está de volta e o facismo eterno
Authors: Menezes Sergio Schargel Maia de
Published: December 2021

Em 2012, quando a recessão democrática mundial ainda estava apenas em seu sexto ano consecutivo de acordo com os índices da Freedom House, Timur Vermes publicou o best-seller Ele está de volta. Rapidamente transformado em filme, o absurdo da sátira política de Vermes beira o kafkiano: Hitler retorna dos mortos. É tomado levianamente como um ator fascinante, por nunca quebrar seu papel, e de forma gradual ascende novamente à política. Flexionando as fronteiras entre o real da política e o real da literatura, bem como entre o humor e o horror, Ele está de volta explora, cruamente, a possibilidade do fascismo retornar e a perigosa negação do fenômeno. Esse artigo irá colocar uma base teórica sobre o conceito de fascismo – entendendo-o como conceito político genérico, portanto passível de deslocamento para além de sua manifestação original – em diálogo com a ficção de Vermes, tornando possível, no processo, perceber não apenas aparições de traços do fascismo na ficção, mas também de suas manifestações contemporâneas. Assim, espera-se contribuir para o estado da arte ao incrementar a compreensão de um conceito polissêmico, bem como alertar para o perigo de acreditar que o fascismo morreu com a morte de Hitler em 1945. Pois, como Vermes mostra, um Hitler sempre pode estar de volta.

Authors: Assis Kelyta Paula dos Santos de , Oliveira Adriano Dias de
Published: December 2021

Introdução: a dispersão de sementes é essencial no estabelecimento e manutenção das populações de plantas. Comumente resulta da interação mutualista, mas no caso da epizoocoria o diásporo possui estruturas de fixação aos animais, é transportado e cai do dispersor, sem benefícios para este. Objetivo: o objetivo deste trabalho foi caracterizar a epizoocoria e seus aspectos ecológicos. Materiais e Métodos: os dados foram coletados na Gleba I da Floresta Nacional de Chapecó, município de Guatambu, SC, na Trilha do Angicão, através de buscas ativas de plantas epizoocóricas ao longo da trilha e seu entorno, que tiveram sua altura total, altura máxima, mínima, e da maioria dos diásporos medidas, comparando-se a altura de sua exposição por Permanova. Os diásporos foram caracterizados quanto ao tipo de estrutura de fixação e em algumas espécies houve experimentos de apreensão de diásporos com uso de tecido com pelos. Resultados: Foram encontradas sete espécies epizoocóricas, três Malvaceae, Pavonia sepium e Triumfetta semitriloba, com apêndices alongados com ganchos no diásporo, e Pavonia flavispina, com apêndices alongados sem gancho, mas espinescentes. Três Poaceae, uma indeterminada, com apêndices curtos com ganchos, Homolepis glutinosa sem apêndices e com substância aderente sobre o diásporo, e Pharus lappulaceus, com diásporos cobertos por tricomas uncinados. Uma espécie de Asteraceae, Adenostemma verbesina, com apêndices sem ganchos com gotículas resinosas nos diásporos. A altura de exposição dos diásporos de P. sepium, a Poaceae indeterminada e P. lappulaceus não diferiram, assim como T. semitriloba e a H. glutinosa (exposição mais alta, cerca de 90cm), as demais comparações diferiram. As exposições mais baixas foram de P. flavispina (10,1cm) e A. verbesina (18,6cm). Em T. semitriloba os testes de apreensão tiveram sucesso 6,6% do total de diásporos, 31% nos maduros e 3% nos imaturos. A apreensão em H. glutinosa foi de 12,5% e em A. verbesina foi de 54,5%. Em P. flavispina não houve apreensão. Conclusão: foram encontradas diferentes estratégias epizocóricas, incluindo diferentes estruturas de adesão e alturas de exposição dos diásporos, o que se relaciona a menor sobreposição na utilização de dispersores. A apreensão variou, indicando influência da maturidade do diásporo no processo.
ANÁLISE ESPAÇO-TEMPORAL POR SENSORIAMENTO REMOTO DA ÁREA DE PROTEÇÃO AMBIENTAL (APA) TINGUÁ/RJ
Authors: Borges Renato Dantas
Published: December 2021

Introdução: As Áreas de Proteção Ambiental de Uso sustentável são áreas com características específicas que são consideradas importantes para o bem-estar humano. As APAs visam conciliar o uso sustentável dos recursos naturais com a conservação da natureza. Nessas unidades, são permitidas atividades que envolvam coleta e uso dos recursos naturais, desde que ocorram de forma responsável, sem esgotar os recursos ambientais e prejudicar os processos ecológicos. Objetivos: O objetivo geral é monitorar o uso e ocupação da terra no período entre 2016 e 2020 da APA Tinguá, a fim de verificar se esta vem cumprindo a sua função conservar o conjunto natural e paisagístico e florestado locais. Como também avaliar se as ações antrópicas estão causando impactos negativos nos remanescentes florestais, auxiliando assim às políticas de gestão ambiental para a efetiva sustentabilidade dessa área protegida. Material e métodos: Softwares de Sistema de Informação Geográfica (SIG) utilizados : o QGIS 3.10 utilizado em todos os procedimentos com manipulação de dados raster e shapefile; o Google Earth Pro foi utilizado para a visualização e identificação de feições do terreno e sua comparação (interpretação visual). A partir de imagens do satélite Sentinel-2, foi utilizado o Processamento Digital de Imagens (PDI) através do método de classificação supervisionada denominado máxima verossimilhança. Foi calculado o Índice de Vegetação da Diferença Normalizada (NDVI) e o Índice de Vegetação Ajustado ao Solo (SAVI) para comparar as possíveis perdas e aumentos da vegetação nos períodos estudados. Resultados: Há preservação de formação florestal na APA Tinguá. Porém, também é possível distinguir feições como: Pasto Degradado e Infraestrutura Urbana. Pôde-se identificar que esta região concentra alguns empreendimentos que podem comprometer a função de preservação ecológica da APA. Tanto o NDVI quanto o SAVI se mostraram eficientes na detecção de vegetação, comparando-os com as classificações. Conclusão: A pesquisa realizada promoveu estudo acadêmico como fonte necessária de dados para a utilização e revisão de um futuro plano de manejo da APA analisadas. Assim, tornou-se também importante fonte de dados geoespaciais (por sensoriamento remoto) a fim de subsidiar os órgãos gestores no planejamento ambiental da APA.
OS EFEITOS DAS MUDANÇAS CLIMÁTICAS NA ECOLOGIA DA ICTIOFAUNA AMAZÔNICA
Authors: Cornélio Joana Paula de Souza
Published: December 2021

Introdução: As alterações hidrológicas oriundas das mudanças no clima geram consequências em todo o ecossistema aquático amazônico e em específico, para os peixes, um grupo fortemente influenciado pelas mudanças climáticas regionais. Objetivos: Neste contexto, o objetivo deste trabalho foi abordar a influência das mudanças climáticas sobre a ictiofauna amazônica, verificando quais os possíveis impactos na ecologia dos peixes. Material e métodos: O estudo é teórico conceitual, onde foi realizado um levantamento bibliográfico com buscas nas bases de dados Periódicos Capes Scielo e Google Acadêmico, utilizando as palavras-chave mudanças no clima, peixes da bacia amazônica, alterações hidrológicas e projeção, bem como seus respectivos em inglês. Resultados: A partir das pesquisas realizadas verificou-se que as projeções apontam um cenário crítico para a região amazônica quando se trata dos impactos que as mudanças climáticas terão sobre a ictiofauna para os próximos 80 anos. Além das mudanças na dinâmica do sistema hidrológico, há mudanças pontuais que podem ter profundos efeitos sobre as comunidades de peixes, com destaque para: alterações na interface ar-água; maior incidência de radiação ultravioleta; lixiviação de sais; assoreamento, diminuição das áreas usadas para alimentação e berçários, diminuição da disponibilidade de oxigênio e aumento da temperatura. As espécies de peixes ativas apresentam altas demandas energéticas a fim de suprir os custos de manutenção para uma alta atividade e, por isso, apresentam uma reduzida tolerância térmica e apresentam grandes distúrbios osmorregulatórios, que podem ter importantes impactos na capacidade de sobrevivência ao longo prazo. Espécies como Hyphessobrychon melazonatus apresentam alterações metabólicas e danos celulares quando aclimatas as condições climáticas futuras, apresentando os maiores índices de mortalidade, danos lipídios e redução na janela térmica. Conclusão: Assim, os efeitos das mudanças climáticas sobre os peixes amazônicos são de grande magnitude, em escala regional e global, com severos impactos ambientais e ecológicos, sociais, econômicos e culturais em todo o planeta. Dessa forma, é necessário mais pesquisas para que se possam desenvolver estratégias para mitigar as mudanças climáticas na Amazônia.

The study examined the effect of green accounting on the financial performance of oil and gas companies 2010-2020. The specific objectives were to determine the effect of: environmental cost accounting and green management accounting on the financial performance of oil and gas companies in Nigeria. A quantitative technique was adopted and Ex post facto research design was employed for the study. Data were obtained from annual reports and accounts of the companies for the periods 2010 to 2020. The hypotheses were tested using regression analysis with aid of e-view 9.0. The results showed that environmental cost accounting has a significant effect on the financial performance of oil and gas companies. Also, the study found that green management accounting has significant effect on the financial performance of oil and gas firms. Therefore, the paper recommended that management of oil and gas companies in Nigeria should pay particular attention to environmental cost accounting to enhance the firm’s operating environment and the financial performance of the companies. Also, since most oil and gas companies hardly report their environmental activities, the government should make environmental reporting in annual reports compulsory thereby passing legislation which will compel companies to integrate environmental issues into their strategic planning process; and the publication of environmental accounting standards both locally and internationally which can be reviewed continually to ensure dynamism in compliance.

Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, budgetary technique, Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) and Student t-test. The study found that majority (84.3% and 52.8%) of processors of cassava peels and marketers were female. In addition, 60.2% of the processors and 51.4% of the marketers had secondary education. The value chain activities carried out by processors were transportation, drying and packaging while marketers transported, packaged and put the peels in storage for future sales. The SFA revealed that cost of labour (p<0.01) and quantity of fresh cassava peels (p<0.01) were the main determinants of output of dried cassava peels by the processors. The inefficiency model revealed that the efficiency of producing dried cassava peels increased with increase in age (p<0.01), credit access (p<0.01), household size (p<0.01) and membership of cooperative society (p<0.01). Furthermore, the cost function revealed that cost of sieving (p<0.05) and depreciation on capital item (p<0.01) increased the production cost of dried cassava peels. The mean technical, allocative and economic efficiency of producing dried cassava peels were estimated as 94%, 83% and 78% respectively. This study concluded that production of cassava peels is efficient and its trade is profitable. The study recommends that cassava processors and marketers should form cooperative groups to increase access to credit for higher output and trade of peels.

The study examined the effect of working capital management on profitability of consumer goods manufacturing firms in Nigeria between the periods 2009 to 2018. The study adopted ex-post-facto design to generate data from the audited financial statements of the selected companies. The population of the study comprised 24 listed consumer goods manufacturing companies, out of which 10 were purposively selected based on the availability of data. The surrogates for independent variables were Account Payable Period (APP), Account Receivable Period (ARP), Inventory Turnover Period (INVTP), Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) and Sales Growth (SG) as a control variable while the proxy for profitability was Return on Asset (ROA). Descriptive and inferential statistics coupled with multiple regressions were adopted to analyze the data.  The Random Effects Generalized Least Square showed that ARP, INVTP, CCC had a negative and significant relationship with ROA while APP, SG had a positive and insignificant relationship with ROA. The study concluded that timely collection of debts and shorter inventory turnover period with cash conversion cycle enhance profitability of consumer goods manufacturing companies. Hence, the study suggested that the management of the companies should implement efficient working capital management for improved profitability.

This research focused on laboratory tests that was conducted using locally available 10mm washed all-in gravel, quarry dust with varying water cement ratio. The research was carried-out using 108 (150 x 150 x 150) mm standard cubes that were all tested from three designed concrete mixes. In the present study, the role of water-cement ratio in compressive strength of concrete was investigated. The mixed concrete samples with water-cement ratios of 0.3, 0.35 and 0.40 were experimented for 3, 7, 21 and 28 days of curing. The results of compressive strength experiment showed that due to increase in water-cement ratio from 0.3 to 0.40, the compressive strength improved from 22 N/mm2 to 24.33 N/mm2 for 1:1.5:3 design mix, the compressive strength improved from 22.88 N/mm2 to 24 N/mm2 for 1:2:1 design mix, while compressive strength improved from 24 N/mm2 to 25.3 N/mm2 for 1:1:2 design mix   respectively. The results for compressive strength experiments showed that the 0.4 water-cement ratio resulted in the optimum compressive strength for all three design mixes.
Colour stability of three modern ceramic materials after repeated firing
Authors:   , Naidoo Ansuya
Published: December 2021

Background Shade matching is a challenging aspect of aesthetic dentistry (Vichi et al., 2011). For a long time, aesthetically pleasing prostheses have been achieved using the porcelain-fused-to-metal crown whereby the metal is masked with an opaque layer and then consecutive layers of veneering ceramic are built up (McLean, 1979). The growing popularity of all-ceramic restorations has created a need for an understanding of its colour characteristics in preference to porcelain fused to metal restorations. The study aims to assist dental technicians in making a more informed decision when choosing an all-ceramic system in terms of colour stability. Objectives The objectives were to identify colour changes of the zirconia after each firing cycle and defining if there are any microstructural changes in the zirconia cores after subsequent firing. Methods This is a quantitative study with a sample size of eighteen which was used for each experimental group. Green state zirconia blocks from Cercon (Dentsply DeguDent, USA), Lava (3M ESPE,USA), and Zirkon Zahn (Zirkonzahn Gmbh, Bruneck, Italy) were trimmed, finished and sintered to a final thickness of 0.5mm according to the manufacturers’ instructions. Each sample group was obtained directly from the manufacturer. In each group, nine specimens were shaded and nine were unshaded. The colour of each specimen was recorded before being exposed to firing cycles. This data formed the control group. All specimens were subjected to three firings and spectrophotometer reading. After each firing, SEM analysis was done after one and three firings. There was a total of thirty six specimens x three firings; n = 108. The raw data for the statistical analysis was obtained from the spectrophotometer readings recorded after the firings (n=108). The data of the study was analyzed using the SPSS version 22.0. The data were compared among the three groups using Pearsons chi square tests, where the data of the firings were measured as a binary or nominal variable, and using t-tests where a measured normally distributed variable was compared. The general linear model (GLM) looked at combinations of the variables and their effects on the dependant variable. The Multivariate tests table indicates the actual result of the one-way MANOVA. Results The Cercon results for both the control and experimental groups reveal the same result patterns and was maintained before and after firing. Lava also revealed the same results before and after firing, however, the cores in the control group differed in colour. The Zirkon Zahn system proved to be the least stable in colour. Conclusion This study supports the hypothesis that colour differences would occur relative to the number of firings for shaded zirconia. It can be concluded that Cercon displayed the most stable results in terms of colour. The acumen gained in this study may better assist dental technicians in their selection of an all-ceramic zirconia system.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectra of samples of LM6; LM14 and LM22 homoeopathic quinquagenimillesimal (LM) potencies of tin (Stannum metallicum), lead (Plumbum metallicum) and two lactose based controls: one control which is prepared by the means of potentisation and one control prepared without the means of potentisation. It was hypothesised that in terms of the effect of different substances (Stannum metallicum and Plumbum metallicum, and the lactose controls) and of different dilutions (LM6, LM14, LM22) of these substances that significant differences exist between the chemical shift and relative integration values of the CH3, CH2, OH and H20 signals of these homoeopathic substances.
Learning rate optimisation of an image processing deep convolutional neural network
Authors:   , Buthelezi Sibusiso Blessing
Published: December 2021

The major contribution of this dissertation is the proposal of the use of mathematical models to identify an optimal learning rate for an image processing deep convolutional neural network (DCNN). This model is derived from a nonlinear regression relationship between the learning rate and the accuracy of a test DCNN model. This relationship is meant to (A) resolve the problem of arbitrarily selecting the initial learning rate (B) reduce computational resource requirement and (C) reduce training instabilities. An algorithm is developed to analyse an inputted DCNN model and subsequently render output parameters that may be used to aid in the selection of an OLR. The benefit of an OLR includes improved training stability and reduced computational resources. The results rendered by the OLR algorithm proposes that an optimal learning rate improves model performance; this is described by the test model average accuracy of 91%. Furthermore, a model validation graph is also extrapolated. which will illustrate the mathematical model accuracy and the region of interest (ROI). The ROI defines the region in the learning rate spectrum with a positive effect on model performance.
Yeni Dinî Hareketlerin Salgın Hastalıklar ve Tedavi Yöntemleri Karşısındaki Tutum ve Davranışları
Authors: BATTAL Emine
Published: December 2021

Koronavirüs yayılmaya başladıktan sonra salgın toplumsal, ekonomik, siyasal olduğu kadar dinî perspektiften de değerlendirmeye tabi tutulmuş ve farklı inanç sistemlerinin bu tür hastalıklara nasıl baktığı gündeme gelmiştir. XX. yüzyılın ikinci yarısından sonra ortaya çıkmaya başlayan ve yeryüzünün inanç haritasının önemli bir parçası haline gelen Yeni Dinî Hareketler de konu ile ilgili tartışmalardaki yerini almıştır.
Bu makalede ilk olarak Yeni Dinî Hareketlerin salgın hastalıkları nasıl yorumladıkları ele alınmıştır. Ardından Covid-19 salgını tedbirleri kapsamında getirilen kısıtlamalara yönelik tepkileri ya da yaşanan bu kriz karşısındaki çözüm önerileri tespit edilmeye çalışılmış, son olarak da birey ve toplum sağlığını korumak amacıyla geliştirilen aşıların uygulanması karşısındaki tutum ve davranışları incelenmiştir. Bir yandan Yeni Dinî Hareketlerin sayıca çokluğu diğer taraftan salgın hastalıklara yönelik tutum ve yaklaşımların çeşitliliği, söz konusu hareketlerin tamamının konu ile ilgili düşünceleri ile pratikteki uygulamalarından bahsetmeyi oldukça zor, hatta imkânsız bir girişim haline getirmektedir. Bu nedenle örnek olarak daha ziyade salgın döneminde gerek söylemleri ile gerekse eylemleriyle öne geçerek kendisinden söz ettirmeyi başaran hareketlere müracaat edilmiştir.

The Analysis of Iran's National Security Strategy Within The Framework of Sectoral Securitization Theory and Its Impact on Turkey-Iran Relations
Authors: BULGUR Nurbanu
Published: December 2021

The threats within the securitization theory are divided into five sectors; military, political, social, economic and ecological threats. Despite the importance of each of these threat definitions, traditional military security conceptualization is still a priority and have an important position. In this article, it is aimed that the national security strategies of Iran, threat perceptions and methods of combating these threats are discussed in the context of the theory of sectoral securitization which is developed by Barry Buzan. A comprehensive literature search has been made about the subject and a resource review (Turkish and English Theses, scientific reports, academic articles, books, reports etc.), which is one of the qualitative research techniques, has been chosen as the method. The main questions to be answered in this study are: What is Iran's conceptualization of security? Does Iran have a definition of a particular security threat? What are the methods and tools to deal with these threats? From which parameters does the national security definition be made? What role does the military and economic capacity play in Iran's national security strategy? What are the impacts of Iran’s national security strategy on Turkey-Iran relations? The article is shaped with the hypothesis “Iran is pursuing a pragmatic and ideological foreign policy aimed at enhancing its nuclear, military, economic and political capacity in the context of “securitization” policy and thus protecting national interest by determining national security strategy through threat perceptions”. Having strong defense systems and obtaining nuclear power for Iran is an important way to counterbalance the weakness of the conventional military power. In the context of national security, Iran's main goal is to rely on its own strength and deterrence. Iran's national security strategy and political discourse after the 1979 Islamic Revolution influenced Turkey-Iran relations in a negative way in general
terms. The security strategies of the two countries, their security priorities, the interests of the two countries due to their intent to become a regional power, have rarely become a co-operative area, but have caused conflict and threat perception.
