O MITO DA CAPITAL DAS NAÇÕES: CURITIBA E A IMIGRAÇÃO – O CASO DOS ITALIANOS.
Authors: Zafalon Rosana
Published: May 2020

Nas últimas décadas, tem sido reproduzido através do marketing político, um discurso de valorização étnica na cidade de Curitiba, retomando a antiga discussão sobre as características singulares que formam a identidade local, típica do paranismo do início do século passado. No entanto, esse discurso agora se materializa na forma de símbolos espalhados pela cidade, o que tende a solidificar essa imagem entre a população. Mas ao contrário do que se possa pensar em primeiro momento, os grupos étnicos valorizados são apenas aqueles que se encaixam na imagem europeia de Curitiba, como por exemplo, os italianos, o que tornam negros e índios, embora tenham em muito contribuído para a formação dessa sociedade, invisíveis nesse espaço. Por sua vez, o discurso identitário sobre a imigração italiana tem sido também aproveitado para fomentar o turismo rural na Região Metropolitana de Curitiba.

“E o nosso sangue, ecoa e grita: PERIFERIA!”. Poesia marginal, lugar e territorialização.
Authors: Freitas Nilson Almino de , Sousa Vicente de Paulo
Published: May 2020

O artigo tem como objetivo abordar a periferia enquanto espaço geográfico tendo como fonte a cena poética criada pelo Slam da Quentura e Batalha do TN. Ambos movimentos são realizados sob a vertente da cultura de rua. Apoiados em literatura a discussão sobre literatura menor ajudou a entender algumas circunstâncias versadas sobre a periferia por poetas e rappers. A reflexão teórica adotada teve contribuições da História Oral, da geografia cultural, da antropologia visual e ajuda do método da videografia, com inserção efetiva no campo pautada nos moldes da pesquisa etnográfica, acompanhada com técnicas da linguagem do documentário. A cena poética e o recitar, desmistificam a periferia enquanto espaço somente de ocorrências negativas, como é constante aparecer nos meios midiáticos. Os versos revelam experiências positivas e resistências o que investem em desterritorializações, territorializações e reterritorializações expressas por esses agentes que versam sobre seus territórios específicos, chamados de periferia.
Os Usos Sociais do Ensino de Geografia
Authors: Marques Roberto
Published: May 2020

Este artigo pretende identificar algumas questões que foram colocadas para o ensino de geografia, a partir dos processos de elaboração e implementação da políticas de educação, a partir de 2015. Isso porque esses processos tencionam a zona de contato entre geografia e educação, em especial na vertente nomeada ensino de geografia. Para desenvolver a discussão, foram mobilizados os estudos de Pierre Bourdieu, especialmente o conceito de campo. Posteriormente, foi feito um esforço de caracterização e sistematização das abordagens que vem sendo feitas na interseção do campo da geografia com o campo da educação. A partir das contribuições de Bourdieu e da caracterização da vertente do ensino de geografia dentro do subcampo, o texto aponta movimentos e contradições deste e dos seus agentes, nas relações com outros campos, em especial o econômico e o político, no jogo das disputas e movimentos de consolidação e direcionamento do próprio subcampo. Por fim, e com base nas discussões aqui trazidas, são apresentadas algumas perspectivas sobre os rumos possíveis do subcampo.
A GEOGRAFIA OFICIAL PARA A EDUCAÇÃO DE JOVENS E ADULTOS NO BRASIL: as intencionalidades para a reprodução do conhecimento geográfico.
Authors: Andrade Rodrigo Coutinho
Published: May 2020

As políticas públicas para a Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) se materializaram no Brasil, após a ofensiva neoliberal, por meio da sincronia entre a gestão nos pressupostos do gerencialismo e a revisão das finalidades formativas sob a ótica do capital. Isto pode ser conferido pela ascensão e cristalização da Pedagogia das Competências tendo em vista as novas morfologias do trabalho, assim como nas predileções para a cidadania de qualidade nova. Neste sentido, objetivamos no presente artigo identificar as transformações imputadas para a EJA ao longo dos últimos anos no que tange às intencionalidades do processo de recomposição burguesa, verificando nas políticas curriculares para o ensino de Geografia os impactos para a formação humana. Trata-se de uma pesquisa básica, de análise qualitativa, de caráter explicativo, que se insere na categoria de pesquisa de tipo bibliográfico-documental.

The relationships among variables were identified using regression analysis and mediating effect analysis. The subjects were workers working at headquarters of the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation and the Agribusiness Group. The questionnaire survey was conducted for about one month from Jan., 2020 and a total of 157 valid samples were obtained. SPSS (Ver. 22.0) was used in statistical analysis.Findings: The results showed that the Servant Leadership has statistically significant effect on Empowerment and Use of Collective Intelligence but not on Continuous Learning which are Characteristics of Agile Organizational Culture. The Perceived Organizational Support (POS) has statistically significant effect on all of the Characteristics of Agile Organizational Culture: Empowerment, Use of Collective Intelligence, and Continuous Learning. The results of mediating effect analysis showed that POS partially mediated the effect of Servant Leadership on Empowerment and Use of Collective Intelligence and fully mediated the effect on Continuous Learning. The results suggested that, for the establishment of agile culture in an organization, it is very important to exercise Servant Leadership, which is a leadership that maximize the potential of the members of the organization based on the spirit of human respect, and to give to members the perception of the full support and rewards provided by organization.Improvements/Applications: This study was conducted for employees working at a specific organization therefore it is difficult to generalize the results to overall industries and organizations. In the future, it is necessary to expand sample population and to conduct comparative studies between groups that have introduced agile organizational culture and ones that does not. It is also recommended to conduct additional studies on the factors of leadership and organizational support that have effect on the characteristics of agile organizational culture.

Background/Objectives: All modern activities have been developed to manage the system fused with IoT Internet of Things. Tourism industry is also developing into a fusion and complex. Currently, the Internet of things is the most active field of use, and the development plan of the Internet of things and ecotourism is being studied very little. ICT convergence industry in other fields is considered to be a field with high potential growth potential from remote systems. The purpose of this study is to empirically verify the relationship and influence between the motivation and satisfaction of eco-tourism tourists.Methods/Statistical analysis: In order to achieve the purpose of this study, literature research and empirical research were conducted in parallel. First, the concept and characteristics of ecotourism were examined based on IoT base through theses, journals, and other related materials, and theoretical considerations such as motivation, satisfaction, revisit intention and recommendation intention of tourist destinations were conducted. The reliability test was conducted to identify internal consistency using SPSS program, and factor analysis was conducted to verify validity.Findings: In order to investigate the relationship between the motivation and satisfaction of visitors to IOT ecotourism, this study was conducted to investigate the relationship between the motivation and satisfaction. First, based on the previous studies, the characteristics and mutual relations are conceptually redefined through theoretical review of ecotourism, tourism motivation, and tourism satisfaction. Second, the relationship between tourism characteristics, tourism motivation, tourism satisfaction, and revisit recommendation intention was empirically verified for tourists visiting IOT eco-tourism sites. Third, it is intended to provide useful Infor-mation for the development and management of ecological tourist destinations and the tourists who visit ecological tourist destinations in the future.Improvements/Applications: Despite the importance of IOT ecotourism, systematic research is insufficient. The reason is that the application of ecotourism is different from case to case, so it is difficult and it is applicable to various fields, so various approaches are possible. This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between the tourist's motives and tourist satisfaction, targeting various ecotourism resources of the Jindo Mystery Sea Road Festival.

Authors: Han Chang soo , You Yen Yoo , Kim Seon Ji
Published: May 2020

Background/Objectives: This research is made to find out what kind of moderating effect the empathy ability of supervisor makes on the turnover intention in the hierarchical organizational culture.Methods/Statistical analysis: The subjects for this research are the employees working for small and mid-sized companies in Korea and the questionnaires were distributed to them for the research. The questionnaire was made up of 16 questions including 4 demographical questions and the measuring was made by using 5-point Likert scale. For the empirical analysis, SPSS 23.0 program was used and the feasibility analysis, reliability analysis, regression analysis and the test of moderating effect were performed.Findings: As the number of independent variable was just one, the factory analysis was not conducted. The results of reliability analysis showed that Cronbach Alpha values were all 0.6 or more. In addition, the correlation analysis results showed that the correlation between the hierarchical organizational culture and turnover intention was 0.931 and the correlation between the hierarchical organizational culture and the empathy ability of supervisor was 0.242, thus showing the low correlation. On the other hand, the correlation between the turnover intention and the empathy ability of supervisor was 0.661, thus showing a little high correlation. All of them showed the significance probabilities of 0.0000. The regression analysis showed that the hierarchical organizational culture made a significant effect on the turnover intention. As the analysis of moderating effect shows the increase in the value R2 with the significance probability of less than 0.05, it was confirmed that the empathy ability of supervisor has the moderating effect. This means that even though the hierarchical organizational culture may affect the turnover intention, the empathy ability of supervisor may lower the turnover intention.Improvements/Applications: The future researches are required to focus on the methodology of enhancing the empathy ability and the tools for measuring the empathy ability along with the development of program.

External Migrants under Mainland China's Informal Welfare Regime: Risk Shifts, Resource Environments, and the Urban Employees' Social Insurance
Authors: Müller Armin
Published: May 2020

Social insurance in mainland China long catered to populations that were assumed to remain in one place permanently. In recent decades, however, internal and transnational labour migration has been on the rise. Building on existing research about internal migrants' social security,
this study asks how different groups of external labour migrants cope with the social risk shifts induced by mobility. It focuses on documented migrants from UN member countries; from Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao; and on undocumented migrants. It employs the resource environment approach,
which integrates a transnational perspective and acknowledges informal sources of security. Focusing on healthcare, the study argues that informal practices affect the majority of external migrants irrespective of nationality or migration status, protecting expatriates from double coverage,
causing low-income migrants to fall through the gaps, but also enabling access to healthcare for undocumented migrants. Despite mandatory participation, effective migrant coverage of the Urban Employees' Social Insurance (UESI) remains low. The system is highly decentralized with incomplete
internal and external portability, and cities have considerable leeway over their own migration and welfare regimes. Migrants from more socio-economically developed areas tend to have a greater reliance on public services and security from the sending areas, or on high-end private alternatives.
Conversely, as the example of Nigerian traders illustrates, undocumented migrants piece together their protective arrangements from individual networks and community institutions. Religious organizations from the Global South also reach out transnationally and provide informal protections
to migrant communities. This study employs a mix of ethnographic fieldwork, document analysis, and descriptive statistics.
Chest CT Findings in Two Highly Suspected Cases of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19): Avoid Overdiagnosis During Clinical Procedures
Authors: Zhao Dan , Zhang Chengfeng , Chen Jun
Published: May 2020

Introduction: The early diagnosis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is important for disease treatment and control. Chest CT has a high sensitivity for the diagnosis of COVID-19, and it is considered an important tool for COVID-19 detection in epidemics. Case Presentation: We report two cases of suspected patients. Due to the special nature of the patient’s work, the patients were suspected of having COVID-19 infection. Chest CT images showed multiple ground-glass opacities in the bilateral lungs. However, the final diagnosis was not COVID-19 infection. Conclusions: The CT scan plays an important role in the early detection of COVID-19, but imaging manifestations of viral pneumonia have similar CT findings. This reminds us to avoid overdiagnosis during clinical procedures.
The Effects of Ramadan Fasting on Electrolytes Index, Serum Osmolarity and Body Composition in Fasting and Non-Fasting Students: A Quasi-Experimental Study
Authors: Darzabi Teimour , Hejazi Keyvan
Published: May 2020

Background: Renal failure is strongly associated with serum osmolarity and changes in electrolytes and some blood metabolites. Because fasting is often associated with Ramadan, especially during the warm months of the year, there is a concern that renal function may be affected. Objectives: This study aimed to observe the effect of one month of fasting on electrolytes, serum osmolarity and body composition in fasting and non-fasting students. Methods: Twenty-nine healthy males (age 21.20 ± 1.69 years and body mass index 25.03 ± 2.11 kg/m2) were divided into two groups: fasting (n = 15) and non-fasting (n = 14). All measurements such as electrolytes index, serum osmolarity and body composition were collected before and after the fasting month. Data were analyzed with repeated measure ANOVA to compare within and between groups. The significance level was set at P < 0.05. Results: Within-group variations were changed BMI, WHR, hip circumference, and waist circumference. Fasting glucose levels were significantly decreased at the end of the fasting period (P < 0.05). Fasting urea, creatinine, uric acid, sodium, potassium, osmolarity increased significantly in the fasting group but no significant change was observed in serum albumin levels. Conclusions: According to this result, fasting during Ramadan leads to an increase in osmolarity and serum electrolytes and a decrease in body composition. However, the use of healthy eating principles during Ramadan can help minimize these changes.

El presente histórico en el discurso reportado en contextos narrativos
Authors: Fernández-Doig Fabiola
Published: May 2020

En este trabajo, analiza el posicionamiento del hablante a través del uso del presente histórico (PH) en el verbo decir de las frases presentadoras de citas directas e indirectas, en contraposición con el uso del mismo verbo en pretérito o imperfecto. Se realiza el análisis de 75 narrativas orales de adultos de la ciudad de Chiclayo del departamento de Lambayeque.

El objetivo principal es identificar la función discursiva de las citas presentadas con un verbo comunicativo en PH. Es parte de un proyecto que indaga los rasgos lingüísticos que definen la oralidad, identidad y subjetividad en el español lambayecano. El estudio se centra en el análisis del discurso reportado en contextos narrativos mediante un análisis gramatical, discursivo y social (edad y género).

Los resultados muestran que el PH es una ocurrencia frecuente tanto en las frases presentadoras de las citas directas como de las indirectas. El contenido de la información en el uso del PH en las frases que presentan las citas directas e indirectas en Lambayeque es más frecuente en aquellas citas que informan sobre enunciados hablados o pensados de posicionamiento o sugerencia. Cuando se analiza esta información en relación con la presencia el PH y a la cita se encuentra que la información presentada con PH parece estar más ligada a la información que el hablante quiere dar al entrevistador sobre sí mismo. Por otro lado, los factores sociales indican que el PH en la frase presentadora de cita es más usado por hombres mayores de la comunidad.
Restrictions on ordering of adjectives in Spanish
Authors: Pérez-Leroux Ana , Tough Alexander , Pettibone Erin , Chen Crystal
Published: May 2020

Abstract. Sequences of multiple modifying adjectives are subject to poorly understood lexical ordering restrictions. There are certain commonalities to these restrictions across languages, as well as  substantive language variation.  Ordering restrictions in Spanish are still under empirical debate, with some proposing strict ordering for direct modifier adjectives; others proposing broad ordering restrictions based on the contrast between intersective and non-intersective adjectives, and yet others raising the possibility that adjectival order is fully unrestricted.  The goal of the present study is to examine corpus evidence for adjectival sequences. We look at both sequences of two postnominal adjectives (Noun +Adjective + Adjective, NAA sequences) as well as sequences of one prenominal, and one postnominal adjective (Adjective + Noun +Adjective, ANA sequences). The results from the NAA datasets clearly categorically confirms that relational adjectives are structurally closer to the noun. There is some evidence for an ordering bias along the line of the intersectivity hypothesis, but little else in term of hard evidence for restrictions. Additional ordering constraints appear once we incorporate the ANA datasets into the empirical picture. One interpretation is that these restrictions can be subsumed under an approach where evaluative adjectives have to occupy the prenominal restriction.  In sum, the evidence is most compatible with the middle ground approach, but not with a fully articulated set of ordering restrictions.
Exceptionality in Spanish Onset Clusters
Authors: Tetzloff Katerina A.
Published: May 2020

Spanish complex onsets have been traditionally described as consisting of a stop (/p, t, k, b, d, g/) or the fricative /f/ plus a liquid. Given that all Spanish varieties have other fricatives (/x, s/), the obstruents that can form part of an onset cluster do not straightforwardly compose a natural class. As such, past studies have argued that /f/ is exceptional in its ability as a fricative to pattern with stops in onset clusters. This paper presents empirical data from a nonce word judgment task that challenges this claim and shows that Spanish listeners rate unattested /xr/ clusters as more acceptable than ungrammatical /sr/ clusters.  These results suggest that /s/, and not /f/, is exceptional in its inability to form complex onsets in Spanish.  As /s/ is the sole sibilant in the Spanish consonant inventory and is uniquely characterized by the feature [strident], this generalization is easily capturable in an Optimality Theory framework. This analysis further predicts that other non-sibilant fricatives should also be acceptable in onset cluster position, such as /θ/, which is supported by data from a follow-up study with speakers of Peninsular Spanish who have this phoneme in their dialect. This analysis also predicts that other sibilants should be unacceptable in onset clusters. This is supported by data from the related languages Portuguese and Catalan that have other sibilant phonemes (/z, ʃ, ʒ/)yet also have similar onset cluster phonotactics as Spanish in that they disallow all sibilants from being in an onset cluster.
On pseudo-coordination in Spanish
Authors: Bravo Ana
Published: May 2020

Abstract. Pseudo-coordination, that is, sequences of a least two verbs of the form  raise a number of problems that stem from the fact that they share properties with a wide range of different syntactic phenomena. As regards Sp.  schema, in this paper I address the discussion of whether it qualifies as a verbal periphrasis or not. A number of arguments are provided that show that the relation between V1 and V2 is not that of auxiliarization. Likewise, it is argued that its meaning is not aspectual. Instead, a stance is taken in favour of the analysis that argue that it is discourse related. In addition to this, it is shown that Sp. pseudo-coordinatives are subject to a high variation. Namely, V1 verbs may be divided into two big classes: go-class verbs, highly grammaticalized and, take-class verbs, less grammaticalized and with an agentive meaning. In addition to this, va y lit. goes and functions as an adverb, similarly to puede que lit. can that, ‘maybe’.
On degree minimizers in Spanish
Authors: Pérez-Jiménez Isabel , Gumiel-Molina Silvia , Moreno-Quibén Norberto
Published: May 2020

The goal of this paper is to provide both a description and an explanation of the combination of minimizers (ligeramente 'slightly') with gradable adjectives in Spanish. According to Kennedy & McNally (2005) these elements are degree items that are sensitive to the scalar structure of adjectives and are combined with closed scale, minimum standard adjectives. Unexpected combinations, according to this semantics, are considered as cases of coercion. In this paper we propose that minimizers create derived adjectives. They are modifiers of the adjective's granularity, which allow the selection of the standard of comparison to take into account a greater number of degree distinctions. From this proposal, this article shows that unexpected combinations of ligeramente with gradable adjectives, such as un cine ligeramente lleno ‘a slightly crowded cinema’, can be explained without the need to propose that a coercion process takes place.
Sobre el avance del cuantificador en español
Authors: Pato Enrique , Mare María
Published: May 2020

El avance de cuantificadores se registra en las variedades del español tanto a nivel diacrónico como sincrónico. El presente trabajo busca desarrollar una descripción completa de este fenómeno en las construcciones superlativas, distinguiendo de manera clara dos estructuras: una que supondría movimiento (el más que me gusta) y otra que supondría el ensamble externo en una posición más alta (lo más que puedo hacer). El reconocimiento de estas dos secuencias permite poner el foco en la discusión sobre el lugar de ensamble del cuantificador y las motivaciones para el movimiento. Desde el plano descriptivo, este trabajo se detiene en la distribución geográfica del avance en las variedades del español actual a partir del estudio de corpus que nos permiten matizar y ampliar descripciones previas. A nivel teórico, se recuperan los principales análisis y se revisan estas propuestas a la luz de los datos obtenidos.
