A Showcase Study on ELF-oriented Classroom Practices in a General English Course
Authors: Bukhari Shahinaz Abdullah
Published: December 2021

The lingua franca status of English in transcultural settings questions the orthodox pedagogical principles and mainstream approaches of English language teaching. To mirror the relationship between English as a subject matter and English as a globalised sociolinguistic phenomenon, some scholars call for revisiting the conventional approaches of pedagogy. Still, the response to the call for a transition from the monocentric methods of English language teaching is slow. Teachers have multiple concerns about how to incorporate a global dimension into a general English language course for undergraduates. The present study aims to address this gap by offering a practical example of how to address English as a lingua franca phenomenon in a general English language course. The study showcases classroom practices for raising awareness of today’s complexity of English use as a worldwide lingua franca. Ten Saudi undergraduates at a Saudi university participated in the study. The study shares the participants’ critical reflections on what they have learned from the course. Analysis of the participants’ reflections reveal that approaches based on complexity theory increased their familiarity with English linguistic diversities, developed their transcultural awareness and improved their ability to cope with English functional and contextual diversities. It is hoped that this showcase study can provide some guidance for the further implementation of a global dimension in other contexts.
Why would you buy an electric car on Jetski Friday? Or, a critique of financial markets from an options trading room
Authors: Soueles Daniel
Published: December 2021

This article presents a close, dialogue-based ethnographic account of a group of contemporary options market makers making a decision about pricing options in Tesla, Inc. Careful attention to their deliberations reveals how the rise of algorithms and automation on financial markets have rendered traders alienated and estranged from the markets they work on for their livelihood. This alienation arises, in part, due to novel cascade effects between futures and underlying equities, which algorithmic and automated trading seems to afford, and which also relate to news events as well as the actions of politicians and prominent business people. Emerging from this alienation, traders produce a critique of how highly automated financial markets allocate capital and how ripe they are for political manipulation.

Lithic industries, territory and mobility in the western Linear Pottery Culture
Authors: Allard Pierre , Denis Solène
Published: December 2021

Territory is a complex notion whose definition varies depending on the discipline in which it is applied. Research on the notion of territory has often focused on the Palaeolithic. Studies in this field are mainly based on comparisons between archaeological assemblages and ethnographic data, an approach originating from the work of L.R. Binford, who introduced the concept of mobility, leading to various models of spatial occupation. How have researchers approached the notion of territory with regard to the first mixed farming populations of the Linear Pottery Culture in the Seine Basin and neighbouring regions? Can lithic industries contribute to our understanding of how these first sedentary populations perceived their territory? In this paper, we show that these first Neolithic communities likely obtained their siliceous materials via direct procurement strategies across a territory that they knew well and regularly frequented. In our study area, centred around the Rhine-Meuse region and the Seine Basin, two distinct litho-spaces are comprised of: 1) small numbers of minor territories with local resources, and 2) vast territories requiring greater mobility among the groups that occupied them. Furthermore, the procurement strategies of the occupants of the regions with few siliceous resources seem to have been based on long-distance relationships and networks. In this case, a high degree of mobility and ensuing social relations would have contributed to the attractivity of villages.

Systematic thinking is a process of thinking that should be introduced from early age. While developing such thinking, students will learn how to solve a task by breaking it down to smaller tasks and complete them one by one. There are many activities that can support such thinking. One of them is to program visually. Visual programming is usually featured with drop-down blocks where students are only required to choose which process or logic needed than then put them in the play board. A training of such activity was done in a high school at Bandung, Indonesia with Scratch. Students were first introduced with Scratch, a software that is expected to help them think systematically. For conducting the training itself, several stages were followed. It started with introduction, and then followed by lecture and case-based practice. To engage students with the practice, the case study is COVID-19 where students are expected to deliver relevant information creatively, such as developing a game of social distancing, spray vs virus, etc. Evaluation shows that via this training, students were able to further develop their own systematic thinking via the creation of Scratch projects. Further, they believed that this training is interesting and can help them to study in the high school.
Blending: A brief history of misconception
Authors:   Aleksey A. Streltsov Southern federal university, Streltsov Aleksey A.
Published: December 2021

The article considers the main aspects of word-fusion, which is a means of word-building that has become popular in the last few decades. As a result, many scientific papers appeared whose authors are quite often not familiar with each other’s findings. That is why we aimed to highlight the major challenging aspects as well as little-known aspects of word-fusion and to present the main results obtained by researchers. We have shown that word-fusion has been in use at least since the 16th century, and not only in the English language. Now words derived according to the pattern are found in many languages of Continental Europe (German, French, Italian, etc.) and presumably existed in some languages, that are now extinct. There is a considerable number of literature on the subject that first appeared in the early 20th century, whereas in this country it happened half a century later. However, there were no less than ten theses, defended by Soviet and Russian linguists indicating a relatively high level of scrutiny. Nowadays, practically everyone recognizes the fact, that word-fusion is a separate productive word-building means used not only for word-play but also for term-building, and nomination of new objects and phenomena, mostly hybrid ones. As far as there is still no universally accepted term for the word-formation means in question, we propose “blending” which is mostly used by foreign and many Russian scholars, or “word-fusion” which is brief and semantically transparent.
Grammatical stylistics of scientific and technical translation  in the aspect of Theory of Grounding
Authors:   Xu Hong Harbin Polytechnical University, Hong Xu , Wenge Li ,   Li Wenge Harbin Polytechnical University
Published: December 2021

Translation stylistics is an essential part of translation theory. Based on W. Labov and J. Waletsky Theory of Grounding (foreground and background), the article analyzes important issues and challenges of scientific and technical translation from Russian into Chinese and from Chinese into Russian, namely, transformation of paratactic clauses into a simple complex sentence, transformation of the active voice into a passive voice and vice versa, variability of Russian verbal nouns translation into Chinese as nouns or verbs. This mismatch can be classified as foregrounding of different grammatical patterns typical for each language. The core idea of mastering grammatical stylistics of scientific and technical translation is in skillful foreground and background elements manipulation to overcome morphological and syntactic differences between Chinese and Russian, release from formal restrictions of the source language, use the advantages of the target language and create a scientific and technical text sample with grammatical stylistics suitable for the language of translation.

The current article focuses upon the results of the conjunctions analysis and the ways of their forming in the Orochon language. The data obtained are compared with the data on the conjunctions’ morphological forms in the Evenki language obtained in the previous studies. This study identified 3 kinds of coordinative conjunctions (connective conjunction, disjunctive conjunction, adversative conjunction) and 4 kinds of subordinating ones (gradational conjunction, conditional conjunction, causal conjunction, temporal conjunction). The comparative analysis demonstrated a larger inventory of conjunctions in Evenki compared to Orochon. In both languages, the same syntactic function can be performed by different parts of speech – some Orochon conjunctions have Evenki equivalents presented by adverbs, postpositions, and suffixes. Unlike notional words, functional ones show little phonetic or morphological correspondence of the Evenki and Orochon languages. Genetic affinity is found in gradational and causal conjunctions that have the similar acoustic and grammar forms in the compared languages.
On deconventionalization of modern English business communication [Book review: A. Yu. Bagiyan, O. I. Natkho, T. A. Shiryaeva «Wisdom of the ages in the language of business. Paremiae in the English-speaking popular scientific business discourse : cognitive-discourse aspect»]
Authors:   Tatiana N. Fedulenkova Vladimir State University, Fedulenkova Tatiana N.
Published: December 2021

The authors presented a comprehensive study of English paremiae used in modern popular scientific business discourse. Two approaches were applied in this multi-vector study: cognitive-discursive and pragma-communicative. The book aimed to identify the main regularities in paremiae functional range. The authors were the pioneers to argue for the need to study the popular science business discourse as a separate sub-discourse of business discourse and to prove its framing status. They also offer a new view on the status of paremia as a precedent cultural sign as a recurrent fragment of the English-language popular scientific business discourse. Another novelty was a complex of specific cognitive-discursive features of paremiae functioning in the English-language popular scientific business discourse. The authors managed to reveal paremiae main functions within the framework of their discursive usage. They also proposed the main methods of paremiological modification. Paremia was used as the main functioning element in the stratification of complex article headings in popular science business discourse. A comprehensive approach including structural principle enabled the authors to divide the paremia repertoir into two sizable groups – original paremiae and modified paremiae – and to determine the percentage for each of the two. The authors brought forward three functional types of headings with paremic elements and identified five new functions characteristic for English paremiae in the examined type of discourse: mimicry, deregulation, remodeling, catalyzing and anticipation. A number of challenging issue were addressed in the book including, first of all, paremia functions discursive convergence, their “functional synergy” which is a very significant phenomenon and an effecient tool to manage information abundace and functional density of all units of the studied discourse. The reasons for the frequent use of paremiae by communicants in various professional contexts were also discussed.

Non-letter characters in writing system. Exclamation mark
Authors:   Svetlana I. Guseva Independent researcher,  Guseva Svetlana I.
Published: December 2021

The article examines phrases with the exclamation mark in poetic discourse. Perceptual experiment was used to determine the degree of their emotional load. The material for the study was A. A. Block’s poem read by professional performers. The paper discusses a set of reasons that cause different emotional interpretation of the same poetic work and varying intonation patterns employed by the readers. It is argued that the multidimensional and mobile semiosis of poetic discourse, the mismatch of presuppositions and the lack of a common communicative base between the author and the reader account for differences in the actualization of the non-letter symbol additional function in writing. The results of the experiment show high degree of intonation shades variability whose graphic referent is the exclamation mark. The results also indicate the existence of a hierarchy in distributing emotional load, particularly, its increase towards the end of the poem which, in general, corresponds to the strategy of communicative patterns arrangement in the utterance.
Concepts “mother” and “father” in the prism of Buryat,  Russian and Chinese phraseology

The article examines the concepts “Mother” and “Father” in Buryat, Russian and Chinese phraseology, which constitute the basic and most culturally significant fragment of the linguistic picture of the world, which records the spiritual and moral experience of a person and the nation as a whole. The gender approach to the kinship terminology study significantly enriches and expands the phraseological unit boundaries containing the lexemes mother and father, which are the starting point and core of family-kinship relations. The study of the family institution seems to be especially relevant for the Buryat, Russian and Chinese linguistic cultures increasingly interacting on the territory of the Republic of Buryatia. The results of investigating the corresponding phraseological units enable to indicate the following features common for the three languages: 1) setting authoritarian family model headed by father; 2) key role of concept “Mother” having unbreakable physiological ties with child, giving love, warmth and forgiveness. Unique features include equal representation of father and mother in Buryat, dominating role of mother in Russian, absolute power of father particularly over son and strictness of mother in Chinese. Identification and understanding the universal and unique mentality features of closely contacting ethnic groups will help implement effective and competent intercultural communication.
Prosodic rhythm in Australian English (Gender differentiation)
Authors:   Elena A. Buraya Moscow State Linguistic University, Buraya Elena A.
Published: December 2021

This paper develops the concept of rhythmic classes through the approaches based on metrics designed to quantify speech rhythm. The emergence of a number of PC software packages, that considerably facilitate the analysis of a speech signal, inspired linguists to renew their interest in speech rhythm which waned when Rhythm Class Hypothesis did not prove to be supported with experimental data. New approaches to speech rhythm study are based on the so-called rhythmic metrics – the Deltas, the PVIs and those based on voice timing which are viewed as acoustic rhythmic correlates. Thus, the idea of the paper is to test within the scope of one study the validity of all the three methods using the material of Australian English. The paper also aims at analyzing rhythmical patterns of Australian English, comparing the obtained data with the results on other varieties of English and finding out whether the gender factor has any influence on Australian English speech rhythm. The evaluation of the research data testifies to the ability of each of the three methods to be quite reliable in quantifying speech-rhythm differences. The profiles of the metrics provide acoustic evidence for gender differentiation in Australian English speech rhythm with female speech being more stress-timed.
Connotative coloration as a criterion of homonymity  of terminological phrases and phraseological units
Authors:   Svetlana S. Laukhina Omsk Tank-Automotive Engineering Institute, Laukhina Svetlana S.
Published: December 2021

The article analyzes the features of homonymous relations between phraseological units and terminological phrases, determines the specificity of these relations. The aim was to prove, on the basis of a comparative analysis of the semantic and stylistic properties of terms and phraseological units formed from them, that connotative coloring is one of the criteria of their homonymy. The material for the research was the original card index, which included 245 phraseological units homonymous with terminological phrases. In the course of the study, methods of continuous sampling, observation, scientific analysis and description, systematization, and quantitative data processing were used. Differences in their semantics are considered as the main criterion for differentiating phraseological homonyms and compound terms. Based on the linguistic units analysis, it has been established that compound terms and phraseological units formed from them have inconsistent meanings: the terms have specific meanings, devoid of connotation; in the meanings of phraseological units, connotative semes are identified: 147 phraseological units of terminological origin contain a bright connotative component in their semantic structure. The article makes an attempt to comprehend the place of connotation in the semantic structure of phraseological units and the specifics of the connotation of phraseological units. The conclusions made in the article are supported by the data from phraseological dictionaries and speech usage of the units under study.

Authors:   Fedosia M. Lelkhova Ob-Ugric Institute of Applied Research and Development, Lelkhova Fedosia M.
Published: December 2021

The article presents the results of ethno-linguistic study of berry plant names aimed to determine the motivating features of the nominations and word-building patterns in Western Khanty dialects. The material for the study comprised dictionaries of Synskiy, Shuryshkar, Ural, Kazym, Middle Ob dialects, dialect field recordings and expedition materials obtained by the author of this paper in 2017–2018. To identify word-building patterns, morpheme analysis was applied together with semantic and morphological analysis. Descriptive method was used to present the results. During continuous sampling, 56 folk names of wild berry plants have been found. Variability of naming was noticed. The names were also characterized by variable spelling (separate vs joint up) and variable pronunciation (with liaisons and vowel alternations). Motivational features of the names included color resemblance, similarity of one kind of berry to another, morphological features of the plant, places of growth, names of animals feeding on the berries. Compounding turned out the most frequent word-building pattern, semantic derivation and suffixation were also present but much less frequent. Among the names, practically no loan words were found.
Patterns of semantics forming for the -out component  in verb-adverbial compounds

Published: December 2021

The current paper aims to analyze structural types of polypredicative sentences of purpose in the Altai language in comparison with Tuvan and Yakut. The material for this study was obtained by continuous sampling from folklore, fiction and Press in the Altai language. For comparison with Tuvan and Yakut, books and articles covering grammar issues of those languages, particularly syntax, were used. In the course of study, descriptive and comparative methods were applied together with the method of structural modeling. It was found that in order to express purpose, the following patterns are used: (i) monofinite (participial-case, participial-postpositional, adverbial-participial), and (ii) bifinite with conjunctions. The comparison showed that the systems of patterns expressing purpose in the languages differ in syntactic arrangement, postpositions and participial-case forms. This study enabled to identify 6 patterns of purpose in Altai compared to 8 in Tuvan described by L. A. Shamina and 14 in Yakut identified by N. N. Efremova. Clearly, Yakut demonstrates the most developed system of the patterns. It was also found that in all the three languages, monofinite patterns are dominant. Two patterns were identified as common for the three languages: (i) monofinite participial pattern with reason-purpose postposition учун / ужун / иhин 'because of, in oder to', and (ii) bifinite pattern with the common Turkic link деп / диэн 'in order to'. Another finding was that adverbial-participial patterns are mono-subject while participial-case and participial-postpositional patterns are variable-subject. The outlook for further study will include semantic types and functioning analysis of the patterns of purpose in Altai compared to other Siberian Turkic languages.

Published: December 2021

O aumento da produção de carne suína ocorrido nos últimos anos no país tem demandado maior uso de recursos naturais e, consequentemente, a necessidade de implementação de práticas e programas de manejo sustentável. Nesse contexto, o presente estudo verificou a influência da certificação pelo Programa Propriedade Rural Sustentável nos índices de ecoeficiência das pequenas propriedades suinícolas cooperativistas catarinenses. A amostra do estudo é formada pelas propriedades vinculadas a Cooperativa A1, localizada na região Oeste do estado de Santa Catarina. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de visitas nas propriedades selecionadas e dos relatórios de fechamento de lote por propriedade rural fornecidos pela agroindústria entre 2015 e 2018. O cálculo dos índices de ecoeficiência foi realizado por meio da Análise Envoltória de Dados (DEA) e para avaliar a influência da certificação nos índices de ecoeficiência foi utilizado o modelo de regressão múltipla com dados em painel (pooled). Os resultados apontaram que as propriedades apresentam níveis altos de ecoeficiência e que as propriedades rurais certificadas obtiveram índices maiores de ecoeficiência em relação àquelas não certificadas. Esses resultados indicam que os incentivos por intermédio de certificação de cooperativas se mostram promissores tanto para as pequenas propriedades quanto para o meio ambiente.

Relevance . Pulmonary embolism constitutes a diagnostic and therapeutic emergency. In Africa, data are still difficult to obtain. Thus, the objectives of this work is to describe epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic aspects and short-term outcomes of pulmonary embolism confirmed by thoracic angioscan at Kira hospital in Bujumbura, the biggest city of Burundi with population about 375 000. Patients and Methods . This was a descriptive study of 18 patients who had a pulmonary embolism confirmed by thoracic angioscan in Bujumbura from January 1st, 2015 to December 31st, 2018. We included in our study any patient with pulmonary embolism consenting to participate and processing personal data after some clarified explanations in accordance with the World Medical Associations Declaration of Helsinki. For each registered patient, we collected socio-demographic, past history of cardiac disease and factors risk, clinical, echocardiographic and scannographic findings with Wells score. Variables were presented as means and percentages. Results and Discussion. The average age was 53.5 12.3 years with a sex ratio of 1.25 in favor of women. The modal class was the 50 to 59 age group (33.3%). The clinical probability pre-test by simplified Wells score was high in 66.6% and medium in 33.3% of cases. A history of venous thromboembolic disease was the most common risk factor. Dyspnea was the most reason of consultation with 94.4% of cases. One patient died (5.6%) during hospitalization. Six months after discharge from the hospital, we recorded 3 cases (16.7%) of death, 6 cases (33.3%) of pulmonary heart, 3 cases (16.7%) of recurrent pulmonary embolism and one case of vitamin K antagonist overdose with minor bleeding. Conclusion. Pulmonary embolism is common in relatively young population with a predominance of females and chronic no communicable diseases as risk factors. Examination of a patient with an angioscanner is a sensitive and specific clinical study of pulmonary embolism. The outcome is favorable under appropriate treatment in short term.
DOMAIN SPECIFIC KEY FEATURE EXTRACTION USING KNOWLEDGE GRAPH MINING
Authors:   Samsung Research Institute, Noida, India, Barai Mohit Kumar , Sanyal Subhasis ,   Samsung Research Institute, Noida, India
Published: December 2021

In the field of text mining, many novel feature extraction approaches have been propounded. The following research paper is based on a novel feature extraction algorithm. In this paper, to formulate this approach, a weighted graph mining has been used to ensure the effectiveness of the feature extraction and computational efficiency; only the most effective graphs representing the maximum number of triangles based on a predefined relational criterion have been considered. The proposed novel technique is an amalgamation of the relation between words surrounding an aspect of the product and the lexicon-based connection among those words, which creates a relational triangle. A maximum number of a triangle covering an element has been accounted as a prime feature. The proposed algorithm performs more than three times better than TF-IDF within a limited set of data in analysis based on domain-specific data. Keywords: feature extraction, natural language processing, product review, text processing, knowledge graph.
Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the expression of emotions in social media
Authors:   Tata Consultancy Services, Kolkata, India, Ghosh Debabrata
Published: December 2021

In the age of social media, every second thousands of messages are exchanged. Analyzing those unstructured data to find out specific emotions is a challenging task. Analysis of emotions involves evaluation and classification of text into emotion classes such as Happy, Sad, Anger, Disgust, Fear, Surprise, as defined by emotion dimensional models which are described in the theory of psychology (www 1; Russell, 2005). The main goal of this paper is to cover the COVID-19 pandemic situation in India and its impact on human emotions. As people very often express their state of the mind through social media, analyzing and tracking their emotions can be very effective for government and local authorities to take required measures. We have analyzed different machine learning classification models, such as Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machine, Random Forest Classifier, Decision Tree and Logistic Regression with 10-fold cross validation to find out top ML models for emotion classification. After tuning the Hyperparameter, we got Logistic regression as the best suited model with accuracy 77% with the given datasets. We worked on algorithm based supervised ML technique to get the expected result. Although multiple studies were conducted earlier along the same lines, none of them performed comparative study among different ML techniques or hyperparameter tuning to optimize the results. Besides, this study has been done on the dataset of the most recent COVID-19 pandemic situation, which is itself unique. We captured Twitter data for a duration of 45 days with hashtag #COVID19India OR #COVID19 and analyzed the data using Logistic Regression to find out how the emotion changed over time based on certain social factors. Keywords: classification, COVID-19, emotion, emotion analysis, Naïve Bayes, Pandemic, Random Forest, SVM.

Published: December 2021

In this paper, we study the effect of overall stock market sentiment in India on sectoral indices and on individual stock prices in terms of co-movement, dependence and volatility transmission along with the magnitude and persistence of the effects. The study uses wavelet decomposition framework for breaking down different financial time series into time-varying components. Quantile Regression, Wavelet Multiple Correlation and Cross-Correlation analysis, and Diebold-Yilmaz spillover analysis are then applied to investigate the nature of dependence, association, and spillover dynamics. For further focus, we have considered different time periods separately to identify the effect of market phases. Interesting results are obtained with respect to persistence of shocks, both across and within time periods. These have implications with respect to understanding market behavior and also perception of sectors and stocks. Keywords: Wavelet Decomposition, SENSEX, Quantile Regression, Wavelet Multiple Correlation, Wavelet Multiple Cross Correlation, Diebold-Yilmaz Spillover.
Extended choice functionals - a cardinal framework for the analysis of choice under risk
Authors:   School of Petroleum Management, PDE University, India, Lahiri Somdeb
Published: December 2021

We propose a framework that extends the one developed by Professor Amartya Sen (with Arrowian roots), for the analysis of choice under risk by an individual, hereafter referred to as a decision maker. The framework is based on the decision maker’s state dependent numerical evaluations − referred to as utility, worth, or pay-off − of the alternatives. We provide several examples to illustrate meaningful possibilities in the model proposed here. The expected utility choice functional assigns to each given state- -dependent data profile (i.e., a pair consisting of a profile of state-dependent evaluation functions and a probability distribution over states of nature) the non-empty set of alternatives obtained by maximizing expected utility. A significant result in this paper, which illustrates the workability of our frameworks of analysis, is an axiomatic characterization of the expected utility choice functional using purely combinatorial techniques. Aim/Purpose: To use a minor extension of the Arrow-Sen model of social choice theory to study individual decision making/aiding under risk and with state dependent evaluation functions. Methodology: Combinatorics (theory of finite sets). Findings: Plausible decision-aids for decision making under uncertainty with state dependent evaluation functions. Research Implications: Exactly same model and results apply for the study of “weighted” multi-criteria decision making/aiding with state dependent evaluation functions. Contribution: Apart from useful decision-aids for managerial decision making under risk and operations research, we provide an axiomatic characterization of the expected utility choice functional. Keywords: risk, state-dependent evaluation, extended choice functionals.
COMPLEMENTARITY OF THE GRAPHICAL ANALYSIS FOR INTERACTIVE AID AND DOMINANCE-BASED ROUGH SET APPROACH APPLIED TO THE CLASSIFICATION OF NON-URBAN MUNICIPALITIES

Published: December 2021

Graphical analysis for interactive aid (GAIA) and the dominance-based rough set approach (DRSA) are compared as methods of explaining the solution to a multi-criteria ranking problem obtained using the preference ranking organization method for the enrichment of evaluations (PROMETHEE). The classification of 52 municipalities in Northern Quebec in terms of the socioeconomic situation is based on three attributes: home conditions, employment and demographic potential. The classification provided to the decision maker is aggregated information. To facilitate decision-making, the problem is first considered as a sorting task, in which municipalities are distributed into three categories: best (B), worst (W) or intermediate (I), based on the PROMETHEE ranking. In order to improve the position of a municipality thus categorized, the decision maker needs information that will answer the questions: What criteria are relevant to the municipality? What criteria are in conflict? What are the critical values of the criteria? We show that GAIA and DRSA provide convergent and complementary information that allow enrichment of the answers to these questions.

Published: December 2021

Creating local cultural tourism products (CTPs) requires the involvement of many entities, e.g., local government units, culture and tourism institutions, non-government organisations, etc., as well as organisational, technical, financial, and human resources. When deciding on a future product venture, it is important to establish visions, goals, or the product’s desired functions common to all these actors. Then, the alternative instances of such CTP need to be designed and examined from the viewpoint of these goals, which may be mutually exclusive due to the various preferences of the actors. Furthermore, despite their importance, these criteria may conflict with, e.g., the tourism policy of local authorities. The issues mentioned above make the decisions regarding creating CTPs very complex and have behavioural, group multiple criteria character. This paper aims to identify the structural elements of creating the best possible CTP promoting local post-industrial heritage in the Czeladź Commune. The specific assumptions, conditions, and criteria are defined to formulate the problem for further consideration using multiple criteria group decision-making (GDM) approaches. Keywords: multiple criteria decision making, group decision-making, multiple criteria problems in cultural tourism, decisions on new cultural tourism products.

La práctica profesional docente, un dispositivo contextualizado para la formación en las licenciaturas de la Fundación Universitaria San Alfonso
Authors: Garcia Reina Leina Lucelva
Published: December 2021

Las diferentes concepciones acerca de la práctica docente van determinando su relación directa con los paradigmas prevalecientes en el campo educativo, en donde cada uno da cuenta de un sustrato epistemológico específico. Del análisis documental elaborado, como técnica de investigación cualitativa, se puede inferir que la práctica docente ha pasado de una relación transmisión-recepción, propia de los enfoques tradicionales, a una relación enmarcada dentro de una racionalidad crítica o emancipatoria, como lo es el enfoque reflexivo-investigativo. Esta última guía sistemática —que orienta el proceso de enseñanza— permite concebir la práctica docente como un espacio que logra, por una parte, el reconocimiento de la cultura escolar emergente a través de la diversidad de rituales incorporados en la cotidianidad escolar, y que se convierten en dispositivos que posibilitan leer la vida de la escuela en perspectiva compleja, distinguiendo entre lo estructural y lo contingente; y por otra, reconocer la praxis docente como una práctica investigativa que ofrece la posibilidad de generar nuevo conocimiento Esta nueva manera de concebir el ejercicio docente desde la teoría pedagógica se reconoce como experiencias contextualizadas o situadas, conducentes a formar un profesional que se reconozca como mediador, reflexivo, crítico e intelectual, para enfrentar los retos pedagógicos y sociales que le demanda el medio.

Published: December 2021

En este trabajo se evalúan los conocimientos básicos y la actitud que poseen los estudiantes de educación secundaria sobre los anfibios, además de contribuir a la comprensión y la percepción local sobre estos. Se confeccionaron coeficientes que pudieran ser útiles para la evaluación del desempeño de profesores y alumnos. Según las respuestas al cuestionario aplicado, el desconocimiento sobre anfibios está ligado a algunas actitudes negativas hacia estos. Estas actitudes pueden deberse al poco desarrollo de la educación ambiental en familiares y profesorado. La aversión hacia los anfibios fue mayor en hembras, aunque después de la clase se notó un incremento de la actitud positiva hacia estos. Los coeficientes desarrollados aquí contribuyen a la medición del aprendizaje estudiantil, permitiéndole al profesor conocer cuánto están aprendiendo los estudiantes.
The Waltz's Third Level of Analysis and China's Pursuit of Legitimacy Via the AIIB
Authors: Abdul Aziz Nuruddin
Published: December 2021

Since 2016, the Asian Infrastructure and Investment Bank (AIIB) has assisted countries in improving their economic conditions with infrastructure and transport projects. Publicly proposed in 2013 by China's President, Xi Jinping, during his state visit to Indonesia, the AIIB has helped consolidate China's legitimacy as a leading power in Asia and globally. Thus, this paper argues that forming the AIIB was a move to counter the relatively low vote share in the neoliberal's international financial institutions, namely the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the Japan-led Asian Development Bank (ADB). With the added benefit of leading a development institution, more legitimacy is gained via the international system. Since its establishment, AIIB had significantly increased from 57 founding members in 2016 to 103 in 2020. In examining how this translates into China gaining legitimacy from the international system, this paper examined the case of China's AIIB through the Third Level of Analysis in Kenneth Waltz's Neorealism. In his The State, And War, Waltz argued for the "Levels of Analysis" and convinced the third level analyses a state's legitimacy and goals via the international system's responses and interactions. This paper examined the relationship between China's standing in the eyes of the world and the acceptance of AIIB as a legitimate development institution.
Entre e para além da literatura: um estudo da noção ‘escrevivência’, de Conceição Evaristo

Published: December 2021

O texto intitulado Entre e para além da literatura: um estudo da noção ‘escrevivência’, de Conceição Evaristo assume caráter interdisciplinar ao mediar discussões entre e para além da literatura com objetivo de responder didaticamente à seguinte questão: como se segmenta e pode ser compreendida a noção de escrevivência a partir da compreensão da própria precursora? No que tange à metodologia adotada para o desenvolvimento desse trabalho utilizou-se procedimentos bibliográficos com abordagem qualitativa e documental, para tanto, elegeu-se como corpora textuais entrevistas concedidas por Conceição Evaristo, publicadas entre os anos de 2015 a 2019. Diante disso, observou-se que a compreensão de escrevivência extrapola a unilateralidade de sentidos esperados, sendo, portanto, tomada como uma noção de vastos significados e interpretações, o que nos possibilita asseverar que a respectiva expressão está em constante processo de construção, alargando-se para outras áreas do conhecimento e, consequentemente, promovendo novas discussões.
Para uma poética do livro-álbum sem texto: uma leitura de Máquina, de Jaime Ferraz
Authors: Navas Diana , Ramos Ana Margarida
Published: December 2021

Pretende-se, neste estudo, proceder a uma leitura aprofundada do livro-álbum sem texto Máquina (Pato Lógico, 2017), de Jaime Ferraz, tendo em vista a caracterização deste formato editorial específico e a reflexão sobre a sua valorização enquanto objeto literário, além de artefacto de especial significado estético. Serão alvo especial da análise os elementos peritextuais principais, a composição global do livro e, sobretudo, a narrativa visual e os procedimentos técnicos usados para contar uma história que, além de ser uma espécie de ode ao livro e à leitura numa sociedade cada vez mais digital, apresenta na sua construção vários recursos metaficcionais, exigindo leitores observadores e competentes.
O sonho vendido: o processo de tradução na exploração da utopia de Pero Vaz de Caminha
Authors: Pereira Ânderson Martins , Rocha Mariane Pereira , Farias Ariane Ávila Neto
Published: December 2021

O presente trabalho objetiva refletir o papel da tradução no processo de rompimento do sonho utópico português referente aos índios brasileiros, já que foi através da figura de intérpretes, responsáveis pelo intermédio entre os portugueses e povos nativos que a idealização dos indígenas deu lugar ao reconhecimento de suas crenças e tradições que diferiam das expectativas portuguesas. Serão analisados os textos “Carta do achamento do Brasil”, de Pero Vaz de Caminha e “A conquista e a posse”, de Pero Lopes de Sousa, a fim de investigar o papel do ‘língua’, indivíduo responsável pelo processo de interpretação e tradução, sujeito ponte entre o imaginado utópico e a materialidade da futura colônia. Para tanto, serão utilizadas, principalmente as reflexões teóricas de Carlos Alberto Faraco (2016) e Dennys Silva-Reis e Marcos Bagno (2016) sobre o tema.
