Authors: Vieira Flávia , Flores Maria Assunção , Almeida Maria Judite
Published: November 2020

O presente artigo incide num estudo de avaliação do atual modelo de estágio dos Mestrados em Ensino da Universidade do Minho (Portugal), criados no âmbito da Reforma de Bolonha. Esse modelo integra um conjunto de estratégias formativas de orientação reflexiva, conferindo destaque à investigação pedagógica como estratégia de desenvolvimento profissional dos futuros professores. O estudo, efetuado 10 anos após a implementação do modelo, envolveu o inquérito por questionário a supervisores da universidade (n=34), orientadores cooperantes das escolas (n=112) e ex-estagiários (n=133). Apresentamos resultados relativos às suas perceções sobre o contributo do modelo no desenvolvimento profissional e as medidas institucionais desenvolvidas para melhorar o seu funcionamento. Ao confrontar pressupostos e linhas de ação do modelo com as perceções dos atores, identificam-se aproximações e afastamentos entre a qualidade desejada e a qualidade percebida, o que permite traçar algumas propostas de desenvolvimento futuro.
Da avaliação do desempenho docente ao desenvolvimento profissional do professor
Authors: Paixão Fátima , Macedo Mário
Published: November 2020

Com vista a refletir sobre a potencialidade da avaliação do desempenho docente (ADD), definiram-se como objetivos do estudo: - Compreender as perceções que os professores têm acerca da ADD e sua relação com o desenvolvimento profissional do professor (DPP); e - Identificar alterações ao atual modelo evidenciadas pelos professores. Desenhou-se um plano metodológico de tendência qualitativa, procurando captar os pontos de vista dos participantes, usando a descrição estatística e a interpretação. A recolha de dados fez-se através da aplicação de um questionário a 81 professores. Os resultados evidenciam que os docentes concordam em ser avaliados mas que o modelo atual da ADD não é uma resposta eficaz, e que, apesar das reticências, consideram que a ADD pode ser potenciadora do desenvolvimento profissional, uma vez que a base da partilha de experiências e ser avaliado por avaliadores em quem confiem torna-a um processo mais coerente e justo.

Published: November 2020

A Supervisão e a Intervisão são práticas amplamente utilizadas e reconhecidas no desempenho profissional de áreas como a Psicologia e o Ensino. Os estudos científicos existentes centram-se, sobretudo, na prática utilizada em contexto escolar e em contexto de Psicologia Clínica. Este artigo  pretende, a partir de experiências profissionais concretas, substantificar o uso e os desafios destas práticas na área da Psicologia das Organizações, do Trabalho e dos Recursos Humanos. Partindo de experiências profissionais distintas e diversificadas, procura-se refletir e explicitar como as práticas de supervisão e intervisão estão presentes nesta especialidade da Psicologia em Portugal. Percebe-se para uma escassez de literatura, diretrizes e práticas de supervisão e intervisão nesta área, apesar do se perceber o recurso à supervisão e intervisão com alguma regularidade e formalidade. O texto avança ainda com algumas dimensões que devem ser consideradas para o desenvolvimento de boas práticas de supervisão e intervisão.

Animal management in the Medieval Banat: faunal remains from the settlement at the Pančevo – Livade site (Serbia)
Authors: Mladenović Teodora
Published: November 2020

This paper presents the results of the faunal remains analysis from the medieval settlement of the Pančevo – Livade site, discontinuously occupied between the 8th and the 13th centuries. The animal remains represent food leftovers as indicated by the butchering marks and mortality profiles. Apart from mammalian remains, which are the most numerous, bird, micromammal, and mollusc remains are also present. Animal husbandry was of great significance to the economy, although not highly developed – domestic animal breeds were small and primitive. During the earlier phase of the settlement (8– 9th centuries), domestic pig was the main source of meat, with cattle, sheep, goats, and horses herded as well. During the later phase of the settlement (10th– 11th centuries), cattle were the most important among the domestic species. Pig continued to be the main source of meat, while the secondary products of cattle, sheep, and goats gained greater significance. Hunting played a somewhat more significant role in the economy of the later phase, as indicated by a greater number of hunted wild species – boar, red deer, and mallard.
Palinuro y su fatídica estrella en el Quijote (I, 43-45)
Authors: De Armas Frederick
Published: November 2020

La sexta novela intercalada en la primera parte del Quijote comienza con una canción de don Luis, que, disfrazado de mozo de mulas, sigue a su amada. En la canción, don Luis se dibuja a sí mismo como marinero de amor y como nuevo Palinuro. Esta referencia es al piloto timonel en la Eneida de Virgilio. Tras recordar la importancia de esta figura clásica en el Siglo de Oro, analizamos la sombra trágica que deja este Palinuro dentro del texto. La fatídica contemplación de su estrella puede llevar a don Luis a un fin desastroso. Ya que Palinuro, en la Eneida, muere como sacrificio a Neptuno, hay que considerar que el futuro viaje de Clara y de su padre a América no carece de peligro; lo mismo puede decirse del viaje de don Luis a Andalucía, acompañado por don Fernando, conocido por sus traiciones.

CONSEQUENCES OF MISSING ENGINEERING-GEOLOGICAL AND GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATIONS AND TESTING ON THE DESIGN AND PROTECTION OF SLOPES FOR ROADS
Authors: Jokanović Igor , Svilar Mila , Pavić Milica
Published: November 2020

The goal of preparing technical documentation cannot only be to create a technical basis for construction, but designing must be considered as a process of exploring the optimal solution by many criteria, only some of which are primarily technical. The field data required for planning and design are determined by engineering-geological and geotechnical investigations and reported through appropriate documentation. Regardless of the level of traffic infrastructure planning and design, the main objective and task of the preparation of this documentation is to provide geotechnical basis to define geotechnical conditions for achieving the stability of certain elements of the substructure of traffic infrastructure. Problems arise in cases of unjustifiably poor or insufficiently performed investigations and testing, when consciously such works are neglected to shorten the design time and save costs. The paper will present examples of prepared technical solutions created precisely as a result of lack of investigations and testing, primarily in relation to the design and protection of slopes.

New Secular Religion and the Clash with Neotraditional Great Religions
Authors: Kurth James
Published: November 2020

The United States in 2020 is in the midst of its greatest crisis since that of the Great Depression and the Second World War. This crisis is the result of large numbers of Americans, especially elite Americans, abandoning the traditional American religion, which was originally based upon Reformed Protestantism, and replacing it with a new secular religion, which is global progressivism. The determined efforts of these elites to promote this secular and postmodern religion on a global scale have produced a determined resistance, also on a global scale. This global resistance is mounted by several neotraditional religions and their civilizations, which are the contemporary heirs of such ancient and traditional religions as Islam, Confucianism, Hinduism, and Eastern Orthodoxy KEYWORDS: American Creed, Axial Age civilizations, globalization, global progressivism, neotraditional civilizations, public theology, Reformed Protestantism, secularization, secular religion, Western civilization
Doing Justice to Religious Diversity: Theological Foundations for “Principled Pluralism”
Authors: CHAPLIN JONATHAN
Published: November 2020

This article argues a theological case for “principled pluralism,” a particular stance regarding the proper attitude of the state towards the plural religious affiliations of its citizens. Its central claim is that the role of the state is both to defend the religious freedom of adherents to all faiths and to maintain a public square equally open to contributions from all faiths without publicly privileging any faith, even Christianity. It develops the argument in critical dialogue with a “Christian nation” position, according to which nations can exercise corporate religious agency, should be formed where possible according to Christian principles, and in which Christian citizens should call their governments to support the nation’s Christian character. KEYWORDS: Principled pluralism, religious diversity, state, Christian nation, public square
Bavinck as Public Theologian: Philosophy, Ethics, and Politics
Authors: BROCK CORY C.
Published: November 2020

As a result of the Enlightenment, the privatization of religion, and the dissociation of theology and the university, public theology has become a very pertinent topic. While public theology emerged as a discipline in the 1980s, the neo-Calvinist tradition, led by Abraham Kuyper and Herman Bavinck, was engaged in public-theological reasoning long before. Although not using the expression public theology, Bavinck offers a public theology in multiple ways. For him, it is a theology for and of the church. His main contribution, however, lies in his philosophical works, where he brings theo-logic to bear on the questions facing the various publics. Addressing current events, he sought to give answers founded on the Triune God. His essay “Ethics and Politics,” written during the Great War, is a primary example.

Christian Formation in Practical Public Theology
Authors: PATTERSON JENNIFER
Published: November 2020

Practical public theology engages questions concerning life together in a political community. Forming Christians in practical public theology draws on biblically informed principles and the experience of community in the church. It fosters a conception of public life that is wider than the strictly political, enabling responses with the resources and capacities of spheres beyond government alone. It cultivates a disposition to discern the multiple theological principles in many concerns of our common life and attention to multiple factors from the perspectives of practitioners in other spheres. Finally, practical public theology equips Christians to recognize more than material dimensions in challenges facing individuals and communities and to respond relationally, through loving service to all neighbors.

Estos estudios realizados adquieren especial relevancia ya que supone el hallazgo de una correlación jurídica con la protección de los recursos que precisamente provocan la atracción turística internacional, y que posicionan a España y México dentro de los países más demandados turísticamente en términos mundiales, con lo que ello supone en la creación de empleo y valor añadido.
Aspirations, Poverty and Education: Evidence from India
Authors: Serneels Pieter , Dercon Stefan
Published: November 2020

This paper investigates whether aspirations matter for education, which offers a common route out of poverty. We find that mother aspirations are strongly related to the child’s grade achieved at age 18. The relation is nonlinear, suggesting there is a threshold, and depends on caste, household income and the village setting. The coefficients remain large and significant when applying control function estimation, using firstborn son as instrument. A similar strong relation is observed with learning outcomes, including local language, English and maths test results, and with attending school, but not with attending private education. These results are confirmed for outcomes at age 15. The findings provide direct evidence on the contribution of mother aspirations to children’s education outcomes and point to aspirations as a channel of intergenerational mobility. They suggest that education outcomes can be improved more rapidly by taking aspirations into account when targeting education programmes, and through interventions that shape aspirations.

A brief history of the development of our plasma technology for the disinfection of agricultural harvests is presented in this review. We focused on the influence of reactive oxygen species (ROS), e.g. ground-state oxygen atoms [O(3P
j
)], excited-state oxygen molecules [O2(1Δg)], and ozone (O3), generated from atmospheric-pressure plasmas on the inactivation of fungal spores under dry conditions. For elucidating the inactivation mechanisms, it is essential to reveal the key ROS. Using some powerful tools, we revealed that the dose of O(3P
j
) strongly correlates with the inactivation of fungal spores when compared to those of another ROS, such as O2(1Δg) and O3. The balance of antioxidants in the spores is possibly modulated by O(3P
j
), leading to oxidation of organelles in spores. Herein, we introduce and discuss how O(3P
j
) contributes to the inactivation of fungal spores associated with in situ diagnostics of plasma generated ROS and in situ intracellular observations of a few fungal spore species.

Today home automation systems are popular in households. The control of electric fixtures like fans and lights is possible with the help of Internet of Things (IOT). The problem arises due to intrusion of burglars. The security of such systems has been done using computer vision and IOT. Here we aim to enhance this system by use of image processing for object detection. The system uses cameras at the door for face recognition as access control. Also, vibration and door magnet sensors are installed at the entry points to detect when the burglar tries to barge inside. PIR sensors are employed to detect human presence. A vibration sensor is also used to give alert if any shock nearby is detected. The system allows entry only if authorized person like owner or person registered on the database arrives. The person may be identified through valid proof of identity. It sends a message to the owner in case it doesn’t recognize the person within 20 seconds and the owner can monitor the activities via live feed from the camera. All sensor signals are checked and status of the system is updated continuously. In case the burglar tries to break inside, siren is activated and alert messages are redirected to the owner and the police.

Worldwide demand of wearable devices is arduous. In field of movable technology ‘hands-free’ status is requirement of persistent communication. With this regards, extensive research has been carried out on wearable technologies. Antennas made of fully fabric material are natural choice. This work presents performance comparison of between classical micro-strip antenna, fabric antenna with metal patch and fully fabric antenna. The fabric antennas show better gain and return loss but are larger in size owing to lower dielectric constant of fabric material. The fabric antennas being conceptually similar to the traditional micro-strip antennas, almost all the micro-strip design techniques could be seamlessly applicable to them. This work further presents an innovative technique of introducing an edge slot in the radiating patch and achieves a reasonable size reduction. This edge slot wearable antenna has been fabricated and the results are compared well with simulated results.

Published: November 2020

In recent years, applications of wireless sensor network (WSN) is emerged as the revolutionary phase in many functional areas such as industrial, environmental, business, military and many need based self-intelligent real time systems. Some of the applications require data communication from harsh physical environment which poses great challenges to wireless sensor networks. The deployment of these sensor nodes in the hostile environment cause sensor nodes failure. This demands fast, redundant fault tolerant, energy saving approaches which meet the requirements of most recurring failures and path disruption scenarios in wireless sensor networks. Hence there is need for fuzzy knowledge based fault detection because traditional fault detection methods are endured by low detection accuracy. The proposed fuzzy knowledge based faulty node detection and redundancy approach (FNDRA) is presented to identify the faulty nodes and provide the management method for nodes reusability. The effectiveness of the proposed approach was implemented using Matlab and the results shows that the proposed approach meets the constraints and requirements of most common and predicated critical failure scenarios.

The lung sounds is a non-stationary signal. It is a major challenge to analyze and differentiate the type of pulmonary disorder based on lung sounds. This paper presents a detailed review of existing methods of feature extraction and classification of Lung sounds for diagnosing the various types of pulmonary disorder. The different methods like spectral analysis, Cepstrum and Mel- Cepstrum, Hilbert Huang Transform, Spectrogram and 2D representation, Wavelet method, time expanded waveform analysis, Hidden Markov model, Auto Regressive model, and Neural Network are being discussed here. All the discussed methods automatically recognise the different types of lung sounds and pulmonary disorder based on features extracted from recorded lung sounds. The paper covered all the suited existing methods which can effectively detect the lung diseases. As per the result of this analysis, it has been found that still more work is required to be done in the screening and classification of chronic Lung diseases. Chronic lung diseases, having similar symptoms and which are very hard to be distinguished and classified. So, therefore, some suitable work needed to be done so that it could effectively support the physicians for taking diagnosis decisions and for giving the correct treatment without any delay in such chronic diseases also.

The objective of current work is nondestructive measurement of surface area of regular or irregular shape just from image. Surface area calculation is mathematical part which needs to remember number of formulas and all for regular shape. It becomes more tedious if the shape whose area is to be calculated is irregular. In some cases such as mountain or lake measurement of dimension is also cumbersome task. To find the solution for such cases in today’s world of automation, the proposed work describes reference object based area calculation system which is based on different techniques of digital image processing. In this we have to click an image of object (whose area is to be calculated) along with one reference object with known surface area. Then the proposed system will perform image enhancement and segmentation operation and finally calculate the surface area of any 2-D surface. It is observed that the values obtained are having with good correlation with actual surface area values.

In this paper an effective hybrid FAT-SGO approach is proposed for islanding detection of distributed generation (DG) system. The proposed approach is the joint implementation of Feedback Artificial Tree (FAT) and Shell Game Optimization (SGO) named as FAT-SGO technique. Reducing the non-detection zone (NDZ) as near as possible and keep the output power quality unmovable is main contribution of this paper. Furthermore, this method solves the issue of establishing detection thresholds inherent in existing methods. The proposed strategy uses the rate of change of frequency (ROCOF) in DG destination location is utilized as input sets of FAT system for intelligent islanding detection. Here, FAT is trained by SGO, which extracts the different intrinsic characteristics among islanding and grid disturbance. With the extracted characteristics, the FAT method is used for classifying the disturbances in islanding and grid. For authenticating the feasibility of this strategy is authorized through various conditions and different conditions of load, switching operation, and network. The simulation of the proposal is done in MATLAB SIMULINK and the performance in islanding and non-islanding events was studied. Statistic analysis of proposed and existing methods of mean, median and standard deviation is analyzed. DG performance is assessed by comparative analysis with current techniques.

The popularization of both Software Language Engineering (SLE) and Model Driven Engineering (MDE) as well as the increasing complexity of systems induce new implementation practices. Indeed, many teams of experts collaborate to implement a same system. Every team uses her own domain specific modeling language (DSML) to represent her concerns. Consequently, by the end of the modelling phase, we get many heterogeneous models elaborated using different DSMLs. These models need to be composed to get a whole view of systems, to be able to validate and simulate behaviors. However, many recent researches choose to compose modelling languages rather than models themselves, but until now there are no standard or generic techniques for that. Although, MDE and SLE provide tools and concepts for modeling, customizing and processing business concepts as single activities, in contrast they provide little support for coordinating between these activities. In this paper, authors propose an interface-based approach to coordinate DSMLS in order to compose and coordinate their respective models. They began by giving generic guidelines of DSMLs specification and composition aspects. Then, they introduce IDFML a Meta language for defining both DSMLs interfaces and coordination. Actually, the proposed Meta language gives a metamodeling background to coordination which enables to benefit from MDE tools and techniques. They finally demonstrate the applicability of the approach using a Connected Indoor Transport Service System to conclude by summarizing benefits of the proposed Methodology.

Steel is one of the oldest construction materials and become a popular construction material in late seventeenth and eighteenth century. Environment friendly, rapid construction, easy availability and better fire rating are some of inherent advantages of steel construction. In current modern world, steel structure contributes a highest number of industrial buildings and sheds in the world building inventory. Pre-Engineered Building concept involves the steel building systems which are predesigned and prefabricated. This particular study includes the design of industrial storage structure which is situated in Man galore. The actual structure is of pre-engineered structure of 90m width of three spans each span 30m width, and running 42m length and of eave height 6m with roof slope 1:10. The analysis and design is carried out by considering the live loads, dead loads, wind loads and earthquake load using relevant IS codes for the given PEB structure. The whole Pre-engineered building and Conventional steel structure is analyzed by using staad pro V8i SS6 software and designed by limit state method as per IS 800-2007. The moment, shear force and axial force decreases in PEB structure in various components as compared to CSB structure, due to increase in stiffness. Deformation decreases in PEB structure in various components as compared to CSB structure, due to increase in stiffness. Base shear and displace ment decreases in PEB structure as compared to CSB structure, due to increase in stiffness. The percentage decrease in weight in PEB structure is 16.28% in comparison to CSB structure, hence cost of PEB structure reduces. Reduction in steel quantity reduces the dead load ultimately reduces the size of the foundation.
