Estudo da influência da presença das estações de metrô sobre estrutura espacial urbana
Authors: Rodrigues Claudia Dall’Igna
Published: July 2022

Este artigo apresenta pesquisa que busca compreender de que maneira a implantação de uma estação de metrô em ambiente urbano consolidado altera as dinâmicas socioespaciais de seu entorno. O estudo pretende, a partir da análise espaço temporal e de dados sociogeográficos compreender a transformação da estrutura espacial urbana que possam ser associados a presença da estação. A cidade é uma estrutura dinâmica, um sistema complexo de redes de relações físicas e sociais onde a intervenção sobre o ambiente construído causa interferências sobre todo o sistema. A pesquisa parte do principio de que uma estação de transporte de massa redefine os níveis de acessibilidade de um local em sua relação com sistema urbano, enquanto interfere na estrutura socioespacial de seu entorno. A relação entre transporte como elemento reestruturador e forma urbana é analisada a partir de mudanças relativas a população, usos do solo e acessibilidade. O crescimento do número de redes de metrô, aliado à crescente necessidade de mobilidade urbana justifica a necessidade de aprofundamento na análise de seus impactos sobre a estrutura urbana. Esta pesquisa de mestrado se encontra em de desenvolvimento, por iniciar o estudo empírico, cujos resultados serão apresentados oportunamente. A maior limitação encontrada até o momento é a disponibilidade de dados na escala necessária e em etapa anterior e posterior a implantação da estação que permita a análise proposta.

This article presents a research that seeks to understand how the implementation of a subway station in consolidated urban environment changes the dynamics sócioespaciais of its surroundings. The study intends through spatial analysis and sociogeographical data to understand the transformation of urban space structure that may be associated with the presence of the station. The city is a dynamic structure, a complex system as a network of physical and social relations, where interventions on the built environment will interfere on the whole system. The research starts from the principle that while a transit station resets the accessibility of a site in its relation with the urban system, it also interferes with the socio-spatial structure of its surroundings. The relationship between transport as restructuring element and urban form is assed through changes concerning population, landuse and accessibility. The growing number of metro networks, together with the increasing need for urban mobility, justifies the need to deepen the analysis of their impacts on the urban structure. This research as a master's degree is under development, and about to initiate the empirical study, and its results shall be presented in due course. The highest limitation found so far is the availability of data at the required scale and time (before and after the station) allowing the proposed analysis.
Pateando el litoral: La construcción del territorio del turismo de masas a través de sus mapas
Authors: Díaz Ameneiro Purificación
Published: July 2022

Esta tesis se formula desde la hipótesis de que el litoral es un territorio singular con características propias que propician la localización de usos concretos y el desarrollo de modelos de ocupación territorial específicos que, como tales, deberían ser estudiados y considerados dentro de la ordenación territorial.

El análisis del crecimiento de población y vivienda en las provincias costeras desde inicios del siglo XX permite cuantificar la incidencia que el turismo ha tenido en la transformación del territorio litoral. La mapificación de las transformaciones urbanas ocurridas a partir de medidos del siglo XX en la franja costera que va desde Portbou a Ayamonte permite caracterizar las formas de crecimiento del litoral. A partir de estas formas se identifican los patrones de ocupación litorales característicos de una nueva ciudad difusa construida de forma masiva sobre el borde del mar, por y para la actividad turística, una actividad generadora de urbanidad con unas condiciones diferentes a la de la ciudad tradicional.

This thesis is founded upon the hypothesis that the coastline is a unique territory with particular features that lead to specific uses and to the development of specific land-use models, which, given this specificity, should be viewed within the framework of spatial planning.

The analysis of population and housing growth in Spanish coastal provinces since the early twentieth century permits the quantifying of tourism’s impact upon the transformation of the coastal territory. The mapping of urban transformations in the coastal strip, from Portbou to Ayamonte, during the second half of the twentieth century permits the characterization of the forms of coastal growth. And from these forms of growth it is possible to identify the characteristic occupation patterns of a new form of dispersed coastal city constructed on a massive scale on the coastline, by and for tourism; it as an activity that creates a form of urbanism with conditions vastly different than those of the traditional city.
Análise de indicadores de sustentabilidade no espaço urbano: aplicação em loteamentos da cidade de Francisco Beltrão-PR
Authors: Gonçalves Mônica Aparecida , Kunen Adriana
Published: July 2022

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar a presença de aspectos de sustentabilidade em dois loteamentos da

cidade de Francisco Beltrão-PR, utilizando-se das categorias de sustentabilidade urbana trazidas pelo

Estatuto da Cidade ou Lei Federal nº 10.257/2001. O objetivo principal desta pesquisa foi atentar para a

importância da aplicação de diretrizes sustentáveis nas cidades atuais, principalmente nas áreas de

expansão do espaço urbano, como é o caso dos dois loteamentos em estudo. O método utilizado para aferir

os indicadores, foi a análise de mapas e documentos e sua confrontação, em pesquisa de campo, com a

caracterização dos loteamentos implantados. Os resultados demonstram que o os loteamentos, embora

executados recentemente, possuem carências em diversas categorias de sustentabilidade urbana, o que

poderia ser resolvido com a incorporação de novos parâmetros de urbanização sustentável às políticas

públicas locais, na tentativa também de controlar a ação do mercado imobiliário na expansão do espaço

urbano local.

This article aims to analyze the presence of sustainability aspects in two subdivisions of the city of Francisco

Beltrao - PR, using the categories of urban sustainability brought by the City Statute or Federal Law No.

10,257 / 2001. The main objective of this research was to pay attention to the importance of applying

sustainable guidelines in the current cities, mainly in the expansion of urban areas, as is the case of the two

allotments in the study. The method used to measure the indicators was the analysis of maps and

documents and their confrontation in the field of research, with the characterization of the implanted

allotments. The results show that the allotments, although recently executed, have deficiencies in various

categories of urban sustainability, which could be solved with the incorporation of new parameters of

sustainable urbanization to local public policies, also attempt to control the action of the real estate market

the expansion of local urban space.
"Desde la impermeable buenos aires...": geografía, historia y diversidad: claves para la construcción de una mirada sostenible
Authors: Gubel Gabriela Giselle
Published: July 2022

El presente artículo se centra en la construcción de una mirada acerca de la problemática de elaborar estrategias de transformación urbana eficientes, capaces de ser sostenibles y durables en el tiempo. Esta mirada se construye sobre tres pilares fundamentales del urbanismo contemporáneo: historia, geografía y diversidad. Serán entonces estas tres variables las que nos guiarán en el análisis de la ciudad, la detección de oportunidades de actuación para finalmente poder elaborar una serie de hipótesis y estrategias de transformación.

Se utiliza como caso de estudio la ciudad de Buenos Aires por ser esta, actualmente, objeto de políticas urbanas que abogan por la sostenibilidad bajo el lema "Ciudad Verde". Se hace un especial énfasis en la zona sur de la ciudad porque es allí donde se concentran la mayor cantidad de propuestas de regeneración urbana por su histórico desbalance en términos socio-económicos respecto al centro y norte de la ciudad.

This article focuses on building a look on the problems of developing efficient strategies of urban transformation that are supposed to be sustainable and long-lasting. This look is built on three fundamental pillars of contemporary urbanism : history, geography and diversity. These three variables will guide us in the analysis of the city, identifying opportunities for action to finally develop a series of scenarios and strategies of transformation.

It is used as a case study the city of Buenos Aires as this is currently the subject of urban policies that advocate sustainability under the motto "Green City ". A special emphasis is on the south side of town because that is where the largest number of proposals for urban regeneration are focused due to its historical imbalance in socio- economic terms from the center and north of the city.
El capitalismo como urbanizador de la frontera: historia y revalorización de los primeros trazados industriales de Mexicali y Calexico
Authors: Gómez Cavazos Enrique Esteban
Published: July 2022

Este artículo nos acerca al origen urbano de las ciudades de Mexicali y Calexico que comparten frontera entre México y Estados Unidos. La ciudad del lado mexicano, Mexicali, estuvo en sus inicios más conectada a Estados Unidos que a México. Se buscan los trazados originales de las compañías urbanizadoras y como la llegada del ferrocarril y los complejos sistemas de irrigación desde el Río Colorado dan inicio al crecimiento urbano del Valle Imperial en Estados Unidos y al Valle de Mexicali en México. Se destaca la importancia de las edificaciones pioneras del centro urbano y lo poco que queda de las construcciones industriales, defendiendo la hipótesis de que este territorio se ordena diferente al resto del país y que el patrimonio industrial actual puede ser relevante en la transformación de la ciudad en base a su identidad.

This article tries to approach the urban origin of the cities of Mexicali and Calexico located in the border they share between Mexico and the United States on the geographical beginning of the peninsula of Baja California. The city of Mexicali in the mexican side was in its beginnings better connected to the United States instead of Mexico. The original urban grids that the companies develop arrive with the railroad and the complex systems of irrigation from the Colorado River, this started the urban growth: in the US, the Imperial Valley and the Mexicali Valley in Mexico. We put special interest in the first industrial buildings in the city center defending the hypothesis that the industrial heritage can be important in the transformation of the city based on their identity.

Authors: Jansen Giane Roberta , Vieira Rafaela
Published: July 2022

Desastres naturais frequentes têm ratificado a necessidade de incorporar esta temática ao planejamento do

território. A bacia hidrográfica do rio Itajaí (BHRI) é recordada pelo desastre de 2008 que gerou perdas

sociais, ecológicas e econômicas. Objetiva-se analisar o território a partir da identificação dos instrumentos

da política urbana constituídos na bacia hidrográfica do rio Itajaí em diferentes períodos históricos. São

objetivos específicos: conhecer os instrumentos da política urbana municipal presentes na BHRI, identificar

quais instrumentos urbanísticos têm maior recorrência e avaliar a influência do desastre natural de 2008 na

implementação de novos instrumentos da política urbana. O estudo utiliza abordagem sistêmica, com

pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, baseada em dados censitários. A pesquisa é composta por três

etapas: levantamento de dados, sistematização e análise. Na última década, observa-se continuidade na

implementação de novos instrumentos de planejamento urbano, porém com pouco avanço em legislações

específicas para prevenção e mitigação de riscos.

Frequent natural disasters have ratified the need to incorporate this issue in planning the territory. The

hydrographic basin of the river Itajaí is remembered by the 2008 disaster that generated social, ecological

and economic losses. The objective is to analyze the territory by identifying urban policies intruments

established in the basin of the Itajaí river in different historical periods. Specific objectives: to cognize the

urban policies instruments in Itajaí River basin, identify which urban instruments have higher recurrence, and

to evaluate the influence of the natural disaster in 2008 in the implementation of new urban policies

instruments. The study use systemic approach, with bibliographical and documentary research, based on

Census data. The search consists of three steps: data collection, organization and analysis. In last decade,

we observe continuity in the implementation of new urban planning instruments, but with little progress on

specific legislation to prevent and mitigate risks.
Hacia nuevas herramientas para el proyecto: el grado de servicio al ciudadano en la corona de la Barcelona metropolitana
Authors: Llovet Montardit Samuel
Published: July 2022

La correcta localización y el adecuado nivel de los servicios en las coronas urbanas de los territorios metropolitanos es uno de los factores determinantes de su calidad urbana. En estos ámbitos la distribución de los equipamientos que componen las redes que dan servicio al ciudadano presenta casuísticas complejas y heterogéneas, a la vez que estos territorios reúnen altas oportunidades, capacidades y presiones para ser transformados. En base a estas hipótesis, este ensayo presenta un sistema basado en el desarrollo de nuevas herramientas de estudio con el que afrontar el proyecto urbano a partir del dominio de las redes de servicio.

The right location and appropriate level of service at metropolitan ring areas is a key factor for its urban quality. In such areas, the distribution of facilities in networks providing services to every citizen presents itself as a complex and heterogeneous scenario. At the same time, these territories gather many opportunities, capabilities and strong pressures to be transformed. Having these hypotheses as a base, this essay presents a system based on the development of new analysis tools to be used for urban planning from the proper control of the service networks.
El suelo rural en el planeamiento territorial: lógicas e instrumentos en tres territorios del Sur de Europa occidental
Authors: Orduña Giró Paula
Published: July 2022

En Europa la preocupación por el planeamiento urbanístico ha evolucionado notablemente: el ámbito rural se descubre como ámbito de valores y estructuras que la cultura urbanística desea dotar de protagonismo. Este trabajo se interesa por la evolución de las teorías, modelos e instrumentos del planeamiento territorial para ordenar el suelo rural en Cataluña, Francia e Italia. La aproximación pretende resumir un siglo de recorrido en el tratamiento del suelo rural comparando los instrumentos de tres casos de estudio: la región metropolitana de Barcelona, la aglomeración urbana de Lyon y la provincia de Bolonia. Los tres son regiones con una larga tradición de planeamiento, en muchos momentos ejemplar.

In Europe, concerns regarding urban planning have evolved notably: rural areas are now recognized as a field of values and structures that planning culture wishes to bring to front. This paper examines the evolution of common meanings, terms and tools referring rural land in Catalonia, France and Italy’s Regional Planning. The approach resumes a century’s overview on rural land treatment and compares instruments used in three study cases: metropolitan region of Barcelona, urban agglomeration of Lyon and the province of Bologna, regions with a long planning tradition, often considered as exemplary.

Published: July 2022

Atribui-se aos empreendimentos hidrelétricos o conceito de energia limpa, mas na prática não é isso que se

vê, visto que, a instalação de seus lagos e a interação com as características originais do local de instalação

geram impactos ambientais, causando problemas físico-territoriais e de ordem socioeconômica. Neste

estudo busca-se compreender a questão das transformações recentes da rede de cidades em regiões de

bacias hidrográficas brasileiras, de grande valor energético e, portanto, suscetíveis a implantação de

hidrelétricas, com foco no desenvolvimento de seus balneários e seu potencial turístico.

Neste contexto são analisadas as transformações recentes da cidade de Palmitos e do Balneário de Ilha

Redonda, discutindo os limites e potencialidades de sua relação com a gestão local através dos mecanismos

propostos pelo Consórcio Foz do Chapecó Energia, responsável pela implantação da usina hidrelétrica Foz

do Chapecó, na bacia do rio Uruguai, em Santa Catarina.

The concept of clean energy is attributed to the hydroelectric enterprises, but in practice that is not found,

since the installation of its lakes and the interaction with the original features of the installation place generate

ambient impacts, causing physical, territorial, social and economic problems. This study aims to understand

the recent transformations in cities in Brazilian hydrographical regions basins that have great energy value

and, therefore are susceptible to hydroelectric plants implantation, focusing on the development of its healthresorts

and its tourist potential.

In this context the recent transformations in the city of Palmitos and in the Ilha Redonda Health-resort are

analyzed, discussing the limits and potentialities of its relation with the local management through

mechanisms proposed by the Foz do Chapecó Energy Consortium, responsible for the implantation of the

hydroelectric plant Foz do Chapecó in the Uruguay river basin, in the State of Santa Catarina.
Fragmentos de identidad insular: paisaje y cultura local como herramientas para la planificación turística de Agaete y Alghero
Authors: Sosa García Omar
Published: July 2022

Algunas ciudades históricas costeras, con cierto potencial de desarrollo turístico y arraigadas tradiciones culturales, necesitan una planificación adecuada para afrontar dicho desarrollo. La sobreexplotación de la franja costera impulsa el deterioro de los valores que la hacen diferentes de otros territorios, razón básica de su posible atractivo turístico. Así, bajo la consideración de que la cultura local y el paisaje están intrínsecamente unidos, influencian el evolución de dichas ciudades y territorios y pueden ser la base de un desarrollo turístico ambiental y socialmente sostenible, se plantea el análisis, en los casos de Agaete y Alghero, de toda forma de expresión de la tradición histórica local para componer la imagen contemporánea de su cultura, donde el paisaje sea el elemento articulador de los espacios en los que esta cultura se desarrolla, permitiendo la comprensión de su ordenación física a través del territorio y su posterior puesta en valor.

Some coastal historic cities with certain potential of tourism development and strong cultural traditions need a proper planning able to tackle such development. Overexploitation of the coastal strip drives the deterioration of the elements that make it different from other territories, basic reason for its possible tourist attraction. Local culture and landscape are inextricably linked, influence cities and territories development and can be the basis of an environmentally and socially sustainable tourism development. So, with Agaete and Alghero as cases of study, analysis of all forms of expression of the local, historical tradition will set the contemporary image of their culture, where landscapes articulate spaces in which this culture is developed, allowing to understand its territorial structure and its subsequent revaluation.

Published: July 2022

Este artigo apresenta um estudo sobre a paisagem urbana da cidade de Erechim, RS, Brasil, por meio da

análise tipo-morfológica e do levantamento de espaços livres intra-urbanos públicos e privados da cidade.

O método adotado parte da análise na escala urbana, aproximando-se, em um segundo momento, da

escala local, com a adoção de uma unidade de paisagem específica. Na escala urbana, mapearam-se os

processos de constituição morfológica (suporte físico, vetores de ocupação, a evolução da mancha urbana

e os planos, leis e agentes de transformação) e as unidades de paisagem. Na escala local, analisaram-se a

hierarquia, a conectividade e a complementaridade dos sistemas de espaços livres e investigaram-se as

formas e os tempos de apropriação dos espaços livres e questões relacionadas à adequação ambiental. Ao

final, refletiu-se sobre as influências históricas e de formação urbana e a promoção de espaços livres.

This article presents a study on the urban landscape in the city of Erechim, RS, Brazil, by means of the

morphological type analysis and the city's public and private intra-urban open spaces survey.The method

applied begins with the analysis on urban scale, subsequently approaching the local scale and the adoption

of a specific landscape unit. On the urban scale, the morphological constitution processes (physical support,

occupation vectors, urban sprawl evolution and the plans, laws and transformation agents) as well as the

landscape units were mapped. On the local scale, the hierarchy, connectivity and complementarity of the

open space systems were analysed and the means and times of the open spaces appropriation along with

the issues related to environment adequacy were investigated. Finally, the urban historical and

developmental influences and the promotion of open spaces were reflected on.
Elevated Serum Levels of Interleukin-15 in Pemphigus Vulgaris Patients: A Potential Therapeutic Target
Authors: Kheirodin Maedeh , Tehranchinia Zohreh , Ketabi Yasaman , Tavakolpour Soheil , Dadkhahfar Sahar , Faghankhani Masoomeh , Vahidnezhad Hassan , Mozafari Nikoo
Published: July 2022

introduction: IL-15 as a member of the immunoregulatory cytokines family is associated with the development of the autoimmune or chronic inflammatory disease. 
objectives: The goal of this study was to evaluate the serum levels of IL-15 in patients with pemphigus
vulgaris and assess the association of IL-15 with anti-desmoglein antibodies and the severity of
the disease.
methods: fifty-three individuals affected with active pemphigus Vulgaris and 38 age and gender-matched healthy controls were enrolled in this study. Clinical characteristics and Autoimmune Bullous Skin Disorder Intensity Score (ABSIS) were assessed. Serum levels of IL-15 (pg/mL) and anti-desmoglein antibodies (Dsg1, 3) were measured.
Result: The serum level of IL-15 in the patient group was assumed to be statistically higher than
that of the control group (3.71 ± 1.5 vs. 0.79 ± 1.03 (p< 0.001)). A positive correlation was found
between serum levels of IL-15 and severity of pemphigus Vulgaris measured by ABSIS (r=0.5,
p=0.04). No significant relationship was detected between the serum level of IL-15 and antidesmoglein antibodies (Dsg1 or Dsg3). (p=0.6 and p=0.9, respectively).
Conclusion: our findings showed that levels of IL‐15 were elevated in the sera of pemphigus
patients and were related to disease severity. An increase in serum level of Il-15 in patients with
pemphigus Vulgaris and its relation with disease severity suggest that this cytokine may play a
role in the pathogenesis of the disease and targeting IL-15 will likely provide a new
perspective on the treatment of this disease.
Comparison of convolutional neural network architectures for robustness against common artefacts in dermatoscopic images
Authors: Katsch Florian , Rinner Christoph , Tschandl Philipp
Published: July 2022

Introduction: Automated classification of dermatoscopic images via neural networks shows comparable performance to clinicians in experimental conditions, but can be affected by artefacts like skin markings or rulers. It is unknown whether specialized neural networks are equally affected, or more robust to artefacts.

Objectives: Analyse robustness of three neural network architectures, namely ResNet34, Faster R-CNN and Mask R-CNN. Methods: We identified common artefacts in the public HAM10000, PH2 and the 7-point criteria evaluation datasets, and established a template-based method to superimpose artefacts on dermatoscopic images. The HAM10000-dataset with and without superimposed artefacts was used to train the networks, followed by analysing their robustness against artefacts in test images.

Results: ResNet-34 and Faster R-CNN models trained on regular images perform worse than the Mask R-CNN models when tested on images with superimposed artefacts. Artefacts in all tested images led to a decrease in area under the precision-recall curve values of 0.030 for ResNet-34 and 0.045 for Faster R-CNN in comparison to only 0.011 for Mask R-CNN. However, changes in model’s performance only became significant with 40% or more of the images having superimposed artefacts. We could also show that loss in performance occurs when the training was biased by selectively superimposing artefacts on images belonging to a certain class.

Conclusions: Instance segmentation architectures may be helpful to counter the effects of artefacts, and further research on related architectures of this family should be promoted. Our introduced template-based artefact insertion mechanism could be useful for future research.
Dermoscopic Photographs Impact Confidence and Management of Remotely Triaged Skin Lesions
Authors: Rogers Tova , McCrary Myles Randolph , Yeung Howa , Krueger Loren , Chen Suephy
Published: July 2022

Background: Improving remote triage is crucial given expansions in teledermatology and with limited in-person care during COVID-19. In addition to clinical pictures, dermoscopic images may provide utility for triage.

 

Objective: To determine if dermoscopic photographs enhance confidence, triage accuracy, and triage prioritization for teledermatology.

 

Methods: In this parallel convergent mixed-methods study, a cohort of dermatologists and residents assessed skin lesions using clinical and dermoscopic photographs. For each case, participants viewed a clinical photograph and determined diagnostic category, management, urgency, and decision-making confidence. They subsequently viewed the associated dermoscopy and answered the same questions. A moderated focus group discussion followed to explore perceptions on the role of dermoscopy in teledermatology.

 

Results: Dermoscopy improved recognition of malignancies by 23% and significantly reduced triage urgency measures for non-malignant lesions. Participants endorsed specific utilities of teledermoscopy, such as for pigmented lesions, with limitations including poor image quality.

 

Conclusions: Dermoscopic photographs may be useful when remotely triaging skin lesions. Standardized imaging protocols are needed.
Generality Explained
Authors: Linnebo Øystein ,   Journal of Philosophy Inc.
Published: July 2022

What explains the truth of a universal generalization? Two types of explanation can be distinguished. While an ‘instance-based explanation’ proceeds via some or all instances of the generalization, a ‘generic explanation’ is independent of the instances, relying instead on completely general facts about the properties or operations involved in the generalization. This intuitive distinction is analyzed by means of a truthmaker semantics, which also sheds light on the correct logic of quantification. On the most natural version of the semantics, this analysis vindicates some claims made—without a proper defense—by Michael Dummett, Solomon Feferman, and others. Where instance-based explanations are freely available, classical logic is shown to be warranted. By contrast, intuitionistic logic (or slightly more) remains warranted regardless of what explanations are available.
Evolução das exportações da região sul e do Brasil nos anos 2000: competitividade e perfil tecnológico
Authors: Santetti Márcio , Azevedo André Filipe Zago de
Published: July 2022

Este artigo analisa os principais produtos de exportação do Brasil e dos estados da região Sul, nos anos de 2000 e 2008, com ênfase em sua intensidade tecnológica e sua competitividade. A identificação de categorias de intensidade tecnológica por setores industriais seguiu a classificação da OCDE, enquanto a competitividade foi obtida através do Índice de Vantagens Comparativas Reveladas (IVCR). A partir da análise dos dez produtos mais relevantes da pauta de exportação, classificados segundo a NCM a quatro dígitos, constatou-se que, assim como o país, houve uma tendência de reprimarização da pauta exportadora dos estados, tanto através da maior presença de produtos não-industriais e de baixa intensidade tecnológica, como pelo aumento de sua participação na pauta exportadora dos estados, ao longo do período. Em relação à competitividade, somente produtos primários e de baixa intensidade tecnológica mostraram um aumento do IVCR. Grande parte deste fenômeno se deve ao aumento dos preços internacionais de produtos primários, devido ao grande crescimento da demanda de países emergentes, especialmente China e Índia
Implicações críticas da imunização biopolítica da vida humana em tempos de pandemia viral: reflexões a partir de Roberto Esposito
Authors: Costa William
Published: July 2022

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar as implicações críticas da imunização biopolítica da vida humana a partir das reflexões de Roberto Esposito, problematizando a seguinte questão: em tempos de pandemia viral e, consequentemente, de Estados emergenciais, de que maneira o paradigma imunitário atua sobre a vida humana? A hipótese que gostaríamos de desenvolver parte do relevo de que, em crises agudas, o paradigma imunitário é tensionado ao seu limite, convergindo para a produção de Estados de emergência segundo os quais são responsáveis por introduzir políticas nefastas de produção tanto da vida quanto da morte. Para validar nossa hipótese e desenvolver o objetivo e a problemática da pesquisa, o presente texto se organiza em dois momentos: (1) primeiramente, nosso intuito consiste em apresentar brevemente a reflexão de Esposito acerca do paradigma imunitário; (2) em seguida, temos como fito analisar criticamente o estado de pandemia viral à luz do paradigma imunitário, buscando encontrar vestígios de como tal ferramenta conceitual nos permite desenvolver uma interpretação para o tempo presente.

Published: July 2022

The global pandemic caused by the Covid19 has affected how work is performed and the day-to-day activities of those engaged in the audit profession. The subject of the research is to examine the attitudes of persons involved in the audit profession in the Republic of Serbia on the advantages and disadvantages of working from home, as well as the readiness to permanently for constant work from the office, steady remote work or combined auditing after the abolition of restrictive measures. The paper also examines the commitment and actions of employers for the same questions. The paper's main conclusion is that most auditors choose combined work. Employers from the private sector provide employees with the possibility of collaborative work. In contrast, employers from the public sector immediately after the abolition of measures returned employees in the audit field to continuous workpiece the office without the possibility of remote work.

Kako su se na turističkom tržištu tokom pandemije Kovid-19 pojavile nove turističke destinacije, koje su svojom otvorenošću privlačile veliki broj turista, tako je cilj ovog rada bio da ispita koji su motivi bili glavni faktori odluke za putovanjem u jednu od takvih destinacija, kakav je i Neum. Gradić u Bosni i Hercegovini, bio je predmet ponude velikog broja turističkih agencija tokom pandemije Kovid-19, ali i tražnje turista. U radu se prošlo od pretpostavke da su odmor i relaksacija na moru bili glavni motivi i faktori odluke turista za putovanjem u Neum. Međutim, istraživanje koje je sprovedeno na uzorku od 92 turista koji su u julu 2021. godine boravili u Neumu, pokazalo je da su kulturni i verski motivi Neuma bili njihov glavni motiv za putovanjem u ovaj grad.
The use of software for monitoring employees' work performance and the termination of employment
Authors: Božičić Darko
Published: July 2022

The widespread use of information technologies has significantly changed how people live and work. Modern production links cannot be imagined without the presence of various IT solutions in the work process. Their main feature is that they speed up and facilitate the work process itself, making it more productive. However, the use of such technology also raises various legal issues. One of them concerns the application of various software solutions for monitoring employees' work. The data obtained by the employer using such software solutions can lead to termination. This paper attempts to point out the key labour law issues in the termination of employment contracts due to the use of various software for monitoring the performance of employees, as well as to offer answers to overcome them.

The aim of this paper was to determine the differences in the perception of the advantages and disadvantages of online teaching between primary school teachers and parents of primary school children. The sample consisted of a total of 1120 respondents, out of which 570 are teachers employed in primary schools (50.9%) and 550 (49.1%) are parents of children attending primary schools in Serbia. A questionnaire was created for the purposes of this research and it was applied in an online form. The results of this research show that the perception of the perceived advantages and disadvantages of online teaching and distance learning from the teachers' and parents' point of view differs significantly, and that teachers have a more intense experience, both in terms of advantages and disadvantages of this type of teaching process. According to both parents and teachers, the most significant disadvantage of online teaching is the lack of direct contact with pupils. From the obtained results it is possible to conclude that a step forward is needed in terms of further development of teacher competencies and resources for new professional challenges, as well as in terms of guiding and empowering parents for a more active role in the process of online education of their children.

The paper presents the results of the research on pupils' assessment of the level and manner of parental involvement in their education in the course of online teaching and distance learning during the Covid-19 pandemic. The sample included 505 pupils of the second cycle of primary education on the territory of the Republic of Serbia. An instrument was designed for the research purposes and it contains questions about the sociodemographic characteristics of the sample, a question about pupils' general satisfaction with distance learning, as well as the assessment scale of parental involvement consisting of two subscales - parental supervision and direct assistance. The average score on the whole scale shows a moderate parental involvement, with parental supervision being more present than providing direct assistance. Although the majority of the pupils expressed a partial satisfaction or dissatisfaction with distance learning, the results showed that the pupils whose parents provided more direct help were more satisfied with distance learning. On the other hand, the analysis of moderation found that in the pupils of higher grades, the parental direct help entailed a lower satisfaction with distance learning. Despite certain limitations of the research, the results generally suggest that parents should be viewed as a significant resource for the effectiveness of distance learning, and imply the need to empower parents in this area.

The aim of this theoretical study is to identify the 21st century skills in the curricular documents for lower secondary education in Slovakia, and to analyse the overlap between the 21st century skills and aims of national educational standards for lower secondary education (ISCED 2) in Slovakia. The main method of the study is document analysis. The analysis shows that the Slovak educational standards are primarily focused on the development of knowledge and cognitive skills. Significantly less represented is development of interpersonal and intrapersonal skills. The results show that there are overall not sufficiently many references to the 21st century skills within the educational standards. This yields a crucial problem, as majority of Slovak teachers still consider the educational standards to be the basic part of curriculum. In spite of certain natural limitations, the study provides new information on the insufficient representation of the 21st century skills in the educational standards in Slovakia.

The primary goal of popular culture as the dominant form of culture in the 21st century should be to unite people in a cultural synergy. Popular culture as such should insist on the richness of diversity, not on stereotypes, which is the case today. This paper will analyze the concepts of communication, culture, intercultural communication, cultural imperialism as well as the influence of popular culture on intercultural communication. Popular culture is a key component in creating a social identity in the 21st century. It provides a sense of belonging and togetherness to people around the globe. That is why they rely on popular culture to understand the world around them, and for most people, the view of the world exists only through the prism of popular culture. Although popular culture could be a hybrid space for bringing cultures closer, this is impossible today because the media deepens the gap between cultures with negative stereotypes by looking at other cultures through their own cultural prism. In order for cultures to come closer to one another, the media must be comprehensive in the way they present images in the broad category of meanings of the concepts of 'culture', 'race' and 'nation' so that people understand that culture exists on multiple levels of complexity, while popular culture presents a superficial (visible) part of culture based on which people mistakenly form a perception of a culture, which can be the cause of misunderstandings in intercultural communication.

O trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar técnicas alternativas de semeadura direta em campo de Hymenaea courbaril L., a fim de restaurar áreas degradadas. O experimento foi constituído dos seguintes tratamentos: T0 – Semeadura de sementes sem quebra de dormência; T1 – Semeadura direta escarificada sem pré-germinação e sem hidrogel; T2 – Semeadura direta escarificada sem pré-germinação e com hidrogel; T3 – Semeadura direta pré-germinada e sem hidrogel; e T4 – Semeadura direta pré-germinada e com hidrogel. Foram semeadas duas sementes por cova, no espaçamento de 2 x 1 m e, depois de 50 dias da semeadura foi realizado o desbaste deixando uma planta por cova (ponto). O experimento foi instalado em blocos ao acaso com quatro repetições de 10 mudas ou pontos de sementes semeadas. Aos 135 e 270 dias após a semeadura foram feitas as seguintes avaliações: taxa de sobrevivência, altura total (Ht), diâmetro do colo (Dc), e número de folhas (Nf). No T4 houve maior quantidade de plantas regeneradas via semeadura direta (68,8%) aos 135 dias após a semeadura, diminuindo para 65,0% aos 270 dias. Em ambos os períodos avaliados os maiores crescimentos em Dc, Ht e Nf foram obtidos no T4, em que foram utilizadas sementes pré-germinadas com a aplicação de hidrogel nas covas no momento da semeadura. A técnica de semeadura direta em campo de sementes H. courbaril pré-germinadas juntamente com o uso de hidrogel mostrou-se favorável à sua regeneração artificial, a fim de restaurar ambientes degradados.

Cultivar espécies folhosas em regiões tropicais e equatoriais é um desafio, devido às elevadas temperaturas e alta pluviosidade no verão. O cultivo em ambiente protegido no Mato Grosso é pouco explorado e desenvolver sistemas de cultivo para atender esta demanda é necessário. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a influência de telados cobertos com diferentes malhas de sombreamento na produção e qualidade de cultivares de almeirão tipo Pão-de-açúcar. O experimento foi conduzido sob malhas de aproximadamente 45% de sombreamento com diferentes pigmentações, vermelha, preta, prata, e campo aberto, na Universidade do Estado de Mato Grosso, no Município de Nova Mutum/MT, no período de 22 de agosto a 03 de novembro de 2015. O delineamento experimental foi em parcelas subdivididas, avaliando a influência do ambiente na parcela e o desenvolvimento das cultivares de almeirão Pão-de-açúcar (Top Seed, Horticeres e Feltrin) na subparcela, em blocos casualizados, com quatro repetições. Foi avaliada altura, diâmetro, produção, número de folhas e massa seca total das plantas. Nas condições de desenvolvimento deste experimento pode-se concluir que o uso de malhas de sombreamento favoreceu a produção do almeirão independentemente do tipo de malha em relação ao campo aberto. A cultivar de almeirão Pão-de-açúcar da Top Seed apresentou em magnitude maior rendimento agronômico (165,9 g planta-1), diâmetro e altura (36,8 cm) (32,2 cm) respectivamente.
