Do Money, Power, Family and Connections Really Matter in Politics? Analysing Factors of Success in the 2010, 2013 and 2016 Philippine Senatorial Elections
Authors: REYES JOSEPH ANTHONY L. , ARCE BRANDO GABRIEL C. , MADRID NICOLLE BIEN N.
Published: February 2019

Myriad debates in electoral politics have drawn attention to the importance of and risks to genuine democracy brought about by factors such as campaign spending, incumbency, political party affiliation and political dynasties. However, only a few studies utilize integrative and multivariate approaches to understanding the contribution of these factors, and this is even rarer for studies on the Philippines of recent times, despite its being among the first and most vibrant democracies in Asia. Examining the relationships to senatorial candidates' total number of votes for the 2010, 2013 and 2016 elections findings reveal overall that total campaign expenditure has a very significant relationship with the number of votes, this being consistent for all of the elections covered by the study. Thus money matters a lot – even when compared with the traditionally highly regarded factors such as incumbency, political dynasty and membership to political parties. This article discusses the results in relation to the socio-political context of the Philippines and provides additional insights and implications of the findings.
PARA NÃO DIZER QUE NÃO FALEI DO CRIME DE LESA PÁTRIA DE TEMER: os Decretos 9.309, 9.310 e 9.311/2018
Authors: Paulino Eliane Tomiasi
Published: February 2019

A quebra das regras democráticas que culminaram na impostura de Michel Temer à presidência da república é analisada a partir de um fator gerador, o contexto de oportunidade de classe para os grandes invasores das terras públicas no Brasil. Embora a desenvoltura dos latifundiários travestidos de capitalistas e vice versa não seja tratada como uma novidade, depreende-se que a sua intensificação ao longo dos governos do Partido dos Trabalhadores resultou de uma opção política orientada para a renúncia às transformações estruturais ante a perspectiva de mediação de conflitos inconciliáveis como o são aqueles que opõem saqueadores do bem comum ao restante da sociedade. Os decretos que liquidam a grilagem premiando os grileiros são o ponto culminante da gestão territorial temerária do Estado que, ao invés de coibi-la, a vem favorecendo desde a instauração dos marcos introdutórios do regime de propriedade privada. O critério da compra em hasta pública como condição para a obtenção das terras públicas simultaneamente à proibição das posses foram a maneira de bloquear de fato os acessos potencialmente incompatíveis com o monopólio de classe, mas os bloqueios de direito graças aos atos de Temer são entendidos como ônus de longa duração que mais cedo ou mais tarde terão que ser confrontados pela sociedade.

Published: February 2019

O Brasil é um dos maiores consumidores mundiais de agrotóxicos. Tal fato tem contribuído no cenário de intensificação da exposição da população e do meio ambiente a essas perigosas substâncias, especialmente após a implantação do golpe jurídico/midiático/parlamentar no Brasil, em 2016. Assim, como tem ocorrido em diversas áreas da saúde, educação e trabalho, esse estudo busca analisar as principais decisões, projetos de lei e políticas públicas pós-golpe, na temática dos agrotóxicos, e seus reflexos para a população Brasileira. Desde a alteração recente de critérios para divulgação dos resultados do Programa de Análise de Resíduos de Agrotóxicos e Alimentos - PARA, até a aprovação do PL 6299/2002, conhecido como pacote do veneno, vê-se uma grande confluência de forças econômicas vinculadas a indústria química multinacional em ocultar riscos, manipular informações e liberalizar o uso generalizado de agrotóxicos em detrimento da saúde da população. Na oportunidade, a vinculação quase obrigatória do consumo dos agrotóxicos com plantas transgênicas (commodities agrícolas) também é abordada como uma estratégia da indústria que tem potencializado esse preocupante quadro, onde é abordado ainda o papel da publicidade e o discurso de ódio e ataque aos pesquisadores, profissionais e instituições independentes. Ao final, aponta-se alternativas tecnológicas e proposições de estratégias políticas para resistência ao modelo hegemônico do agrotóxico/transgênicos, especialmente contra o PL 6299/02 e os caminhos necessários para defesa do SUS, da saúde e da soberania alimentar da população Brasileira.
NEOEXTRATIVISMO LIBERAL-CONSERVADOR: a Política Mineral e a Questão Agrária no Governo Temer
Authors: Gonçalves Ricardo Junior De Assis Fernandes , Milanez Bruno , Wanderley Luiz Jardim
Published: February 2019

Avaliamos as mudanças ocorridas na política mineral brasileira durante o primeiro ano do governo Temer. Argumentamos que, assim como no período Dilma, este governo teve um posicionamento favorável à expansão mineral. Durante o governo do Partido dos Trabalhadores, associado a um “neoextrativismo progressista”, as ações buscaram aumentar o protagonismo do Estado e a captura da renda mineral destinada, majoritariamente, para políticas de redução da pobreza. Com a mudança de governo, no período “neoextrativismo liberal-conservador”, mantém-se a preocupação com a expansão da mineração, porém o governo deixa que ela ocorra sob as forças de mercado, e a renda mineral capturada pelo Estado é transferida para o setor financeiro. Ao longo do artigo, debatemos as relações entre a mineração e a questão agrária. Defendemos a importância da reflexão crítica sobre este setor extrativo e os impactos na organização do espaço rural brasileiro. Tratamos ainda das estratégias institucionais das mineradoras, avaliamos as iniciativas do governo Temer para abrir novas áreas de mineração e investigamos as mudanças feitas na legislação mineral. Por fim, sublinhamos o que parece ser falsas promessas relativas a tais ações e trazemos também alguns elementos referentes às respostas dos movimentos sociais quanto a essa tentativa de aprofundar o atual modelo mineral do Brasil e os conflitos e disputas territoriais a ele associados.
A SERPENTE FORA DO OVO: a frente do agronegócio e o supremacismo ruralista
Authors: Castilho Alceu Luís
Published: February 2019

Este artigo visa identificar um novo momento na atuação da bancada ruralista, em Brasília, em um contexto de refluxo da democracia no Brasil. O papel de representar o agronegócio ganhou contornos recentes com a influência decisiva na derrubada de uma presidente eleita e na manutenção do presidente Michel Temer no poder. A essa atuação correspondeu uma ofensiva – supremacista – contra os povos do campo, seja pela afirmação de um discurso de superioridade (em relação a indígenas e quilombolas), seja pela criminalização de movimentos sociais e de seus defensores, seja pela expansão territorial. A distribuição regional dos componentes da Frente Parlamentar da Agropecuária (FPA) indica que esse supremacismo tem boa parte de sua força nos representantes políticos do sul do país – mesmo que eles tenham migrado, como empresários e fazendeiros, para as regiões Norte e Centro-Oeste.
Multi-objective stochastic transportation problem involving three-parameter extreme value distribution
Authors: Acharya Mitali , Gessesse Adane , Mishra Rajashree , Acharya Srikumar
Published: February 2019

In this paper, we considered a multi-objective stochastic transportation problem where the supply and demand parameters follow extreme value distribution having three-parameters. The proposed mathematical model for stochastic transportation problem cannot be solved directly by mathematical approaches. Therefore, we converted it to an equivalent deterministic multi-objective mathematical programming problem. For solving the deterministic multi-objective mathematical programming problem, we used an ?-constraint method. A case study is provided to illustrate the methodology.
Self-driving cars and liability in traffic - reality or fiction?
Authors: Tomic-Petrovic Natasa
Published: February 2019

Self-driving vehicles are considered to be the technology that will change
the city, public and private transportation, as well as the concept of
mobility in general. The great obstacle to self-driving vehicles are legal
conditions, although the situation in this area is slowly changing. It is
indeed true that producers need to gain more experience in testing vehicles
without a driver on public roads before this technology is offered to the
general public. The expansion of autonomous vehicles will depend on the
public belief that the self-driving cars are considerably safer than those
manually-controlled. Lawmakers intercede in favor of a balance between
security and technological development. There should not be place for unsafe
technologies on the roads, but the solution is not to prevent the easier way
for vehicles that improve safety to reach consumers. If a man is not driving
the vehicle, that appoints responsibility to the manufacturer of the
self-driving operating system of the car in the event of a collision.
Clarification of the blame for the accident will sometimes entail complex
issues of allocating responsibility of man as the driver and those who
provide technology of autonomous vehicle. The issue of privacy of the owner
is also one of the current ones, because these data could be misused.
Protection of privacy of the passenger should be in balance with the gain
that the utilization of data brings. Self-driving cars may have to wait if
the existing legal framework does not offer sufficient legal certainty.
Investigation of Engel-West explanation of Meese-Rogoff puzzle on Serbia-Eurozone case: Lag augmented VAR approach
Authors: Petrovic Predrag , Nikolic Goran
Published: February 2019

The study is dedicated to research of Engel-West explanation of Meese-Rogoff
puzzle on Serbia-Eurozone case (2004:q4 - 2015:q2). The analysis was
conducted by applying lag augmented VAR procedure (LA-VAR), which enables
quite reliable testing of Granger causality when (some or all) time series
are non-stationary without mandatory prior testing of cointegration and
differencing thereof. The following Engel et al. [2005] investigation was
carried out on bivariate and multivariate VAR models, taking into account
five macro?economic fundamentals (money supply differential, inflation rate
differential, interest rate differential, real GDP differential and
interaction of money supply differential and real GDP differential). The
obtained results demonstrate quite unconvincing indications about empirical
validity of present-value exchange rate models, and do not confirm findings
of Engel et al. [2005].
The share of the teaching methods in the inclusive education on the appropriate sample at the territory of the City of Belgrade
Authors: Stepanovic Sasa
Published: February 2019

The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of their usage in an
inclusive teaching environment. The sample consisted of 16 elementary
schools on the territory of the Republic of Serbia, which pupils with
sensory impairments attend [visual and auditory impairments: N=69].
Systematic observation has been used as a method on 382 classes of sixth and
seventh grade to collect data on the usage of social forms of work. Results
have shown that in the two-thirds of observed classes the frontal work form
was predominantly used [67.7%], following the individual work form [22.6%]
present in a much lower degree, while the group work form [1.7%] and working
in pairs [1.3%] were the least frequently used. Teacher-centered class is
still a constant in schools, and the dominant usage of the frontal work form
as well, by that very fact. This form has its advantages among which the
efficiency in using the available class time stands out. However, this form
by itself does not consider the social nature of learning which full
understanding is mandatory for effective teaching. Therefore, it is
necessary to use it in balance with individual and group forms in all phases
of class.
Local laser softening of high-strength steel with an adapted intensity
Authors: Vogt S. , Völl A. , Wollgarten S. , Freese T. , Stollenwerk J. , Weisheit A. , Loosen P.
Published: February 2019

Today, manufacturers in the automotive industry have to find a compromise between ensuring maximum safety for passengers, which is achieved by the use of high stiffness materials, and a minimum CO2 footprint. These aims are achieved primarily by the usage of lightweight designs. With respect to the car body, high-strength steels—such as the manganese boron steel MBW® 1500 (22MnB5)—fulfil these requirements. Workpieces made of 22MnB5 have a high tensile strength of about 1500 MPa, respectively, enabling reduction of the sheet thickness. However, this high strength is not favorable in all sections of a part, especially those which are relevant for safety. In order to locally adjust the mechanical properties of MBW 1500, a laser-based heat treatment process has been developed to meet the requirements of high ductility in the deformation zones for better crash performance and in joining areas. By means of laser radiation, the brittle martensitic microstructure of MBW 1500 is either tempered or transformed into a ferrite/perlite-dominated microstructure. While the feasibility of the laser softening of high-strength steels with diode laser systems using a tophat intensity profile at a maximum feed rate of 1.0 m/min has already been shown, the present work focuses on the increase in the feed rate of laser softening using an adapted intensity distribution. This distribution is generated using a free-form optics and is designed in such a way that a homogeneous temperature profile on the workpiece's surface is induced. As a result, the feed rate can be increased maintaining homogeneous softening across the sheet thickness.
The One-Dimensionality of Scientific Relativism
Authors: Laki János
Published: February 2019

The historicist approach to science has been accompanied by a spatial one in the last decade or two. Referring to the cultural origin of the fundamental standards, advocates of the “geographical turn” claim that “just as there is a rich history of science, so there is a rich geography of science” (Withers and Livingstone, 2011: 3). The emerging localism is perpendicular to the old historical segmentation and the combination of the two present science as a bunch of quasi-independent cognitive endeavours scattered in time and space. Taking the debate about the existence of the N-ray as an instructive example, I argue that by developing location-independent disciplinary communities, history made the community-structure of science culturally unique. Different historical eras may use incompatible concepts, methodological norms, and epistemological standards, but as this diversity does not extend onto its synchronous dimension, relativism remains one-dimensional in science.

ONLINE COMMUNITY OF INQUIRY REVIEW: SOCIAL, COGNITIVE, AND TEACHING PRESENCE ISSUES
Authors: Garrison D. R.
Published: February 2019

This paper explores four issues that have emerged from the research on social, cognitive and teaching presence in an online community of inquiry. The early research in the area of online communities of inquiry has raised several issues with regard to the creation and maintenance of social, cognitive and teaching presence that require further research and analysis. The other overarching issue is the methodological validity associated with the community of inquiry framework.The first issue is about shifting social presence from socio-emotional support to a focus on group cohesion (from personal to purposeful relationships). The second issue concerns the progressive development of cognitive presence (inquiry) from exploration to resolution. That is, moving discussion beyond the exploration phase. The third issue has to do with how we conceive of teaching presence (design, facilitation, direct instruction). More specifically, is there an important distinction betweenfacilitation and direct instruction? Finally, the methodological issue concerns qualitative transcript analysis and the validity of the coding protocol.
THE LOUISIANA ALGEBRA I ONLINE INITIATIVE AS A MODEL FOR TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: EXAMINING TEACHER EXPERIENCES
Authors: O’Dwyer Laura M. , Carey Rebecca
Published: February 2019

Over the past decade online learning initiatives have shown tremendous potential for broadening educational opportunities and for addressing local and regional shortages of highly qualified K–12 teachers. The Louisiana Algebra I Online initiative represents one type of online model than can address both the need for improving course offerings and for addressing teacher shortages. The goal of the model is to improve educational opportunities for students by providing them with a high-quality, standards-based curriculum delivered online by a certified mathematics teacher and to support the professional development of teachers in hard-to-staff schools by partnering them with a highly qualified teachermentor who is available online. The innovation of this model for online learning is that it integrates classroom-based learning with virtual learning thereby providing students with the structure andopportunities afforded by regular class meetings and supports the professional development of uncertified teachers through ongoing and embedded professional development opportunities.This research suggests that the Louisiana Algebra I Online model is a viable online model for providing teachers with an effective model for authentic and embedded professional development that is relevant to their classroom experiences.
LEARNING SCIENCE ONLINE: A DESCRIPTIVE STUDY OF ONLINE SCIENCE COURSES FOR TEACHERS
Authors: Asbell-Clarke Jodi , Rowe Elizabeth
Published: February 2019

Online education is a rapidly growing phenomenon for science teachers. Using a sample of 40 online science courses for teachers offered during the 2004–2005 academic year, the Learning Science Online (LSO) study examines the nature and variety of instructional methods and activities as well as communication, and students’ perceptions of supports within the course. This research is unique in that it is the first aggregate study of online science courses offered by a wide variety of educational programs. Descriptive analyses suggest the instructional methods employed in online science courses for teachersinclude frequent use of online discussions and students participated in minds-on activities, including articulation and reflection on their scientific ideas, posing questions, analyzing data, and drawing conclusions from evidence. Hands-on instructional activities were rarely used, and pen-and-paper and collaborative instructional activities were occasionally used. Technology was used primarily for communications such as discussion boards, email, and chat, but there were very few other computerbasedtools used within the courses. Students felt supported by instructors, other students, and the course design.

Published: February 2019

The additive genetic value for oil yield of 135 parents from several African populations tested in the first cycle of Indonesian Oil Palm Research Institute (IOPRI) breeding programme were estimated by best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) using an unbalanced data set. These values were used to evaluate the possibility of reduction in generation selection time in an oil palm breeding programme. The ranks of parental additive genetic values obtained with early yield period and whole cycle was found to be consistent. These make that highly potential parents could be selected and recombined at a more precocious time in order to reduce the period between cycle. Since oil yield trait is mainly controlled under additive gene effect, the recombination should be done carefully for retaining as highly as possible this character in a parent to be improved.
PHENETIC ANALYSIS OF 28 SPECIES PANGASIID CATFISHES FROM ASIA
Authors: Gustiano Rudhy , Pouyaud Laurent
Published: February 2019

A great variation in the external morphology of pangasiid catfishes and it is difficult to give a standard definition of their external appearance. The degree of similarity, known as phenetic analysis, is generally one of the criteria on which the recognition of taxa has been based. The objective of this phenetic analysis was to determine the degree of similarity. A measure of dissimilarity was computed from the coordinates of the first two axes of the Correspondence Analysis, using Euclidean distance. The distances were used to produce coefficients of similarity between each species pair. Distances are  non-negative and low values indicate similarity. Distance values for the matrix were then clustered with the unweighted pair-group method using the arithmetic average and summarized in a phenogram. The results showed that all species analysed for proposed genera aggregated. Analysis on 28 species supports that they should belong to four genera.

Published: February 2019

Field Experiments were conducted to study the genotype x environment interaction for selected characters between anthesis and beginning of seed growth in soybean. The genotype. I.e. three parental lines and seven F8 offsprings were planted just before a wet season in two locations: at Kendalpayak-Malang and at Muneng-Probolinggo. Both locations belong to Research Institute for Legume and Tuber Crops and are located in East Java, Indonesia. The Reproductive growth stages were defined according to Fehr and Caviness. The evaluation started with begin of flowering (R1). Total leaf chlorophyll content, leaf area index, specific leaf weight, and biomass were measured at begin of seed growth (R5). Significant genotype X environment interactions were observed for all characters studied except for specific leaf weight.

Published: February 2019

This study aims to describe the development of interactive CD learning materials based on power point to improve students’ learning outcomes within the topic of production technology, communication and transportation in grade IV. The research methods used are research and development, consisting of the preliminary study, model development, and model testing. The results show that the interactive CD learning materials developed are eligible according to the development steps. The results of media validation and the results of material validation were shown with average score of 79,8% and 87,2% respectively. The students' responses to interactive learning materials scored 81.75% on small-scale trials while large-scale trials obtained a score of 85%. Then the teacher's response scored 71.7% and 80.48% respectively. Based on the value obtained, then the interactive CD teaching materials are feasible to be applied to grade 4 elementary school students. Based on the test results of the student learning on small-scale, it showed that 63% of students passed with the score ≥75. While on a large-scale, 100% of the students passed and scored ≥75. Thus, it can be concluded that the development of interactive teaching materials is appropriate for students in grade IV of elementary school.

Published: February 2019

The science process skill is important for teachers. However, not all of the student teachers have the competency, experience, and passion to science. The students of PGSD UKSW come from many kinds of background of middle schools that makes them have some different experiences in science competencies. The specific identification is needed to compare their science understanding/ comprehension. Their daily menu (diet) is the proper way to identify the students’ science understanding, because it is an activity that all people have done. The purpose of this research is to identify the students’ science comprehension through daily consumption patterns based on Home Science Process Skill (HSPS), modified from the science process skill steps used at home. HSPS has some advantages, as it makes the student enjoy their science learning and find the basic of knowledge from daily life. The survey methodology was used to find detailed facts about the level of science understanding. The data triangulation were gathered through questionnaires, interviews, and observations, that describe HSPS indicators, consisting of: scrutiny, note down, try out, create, tell (cermati, catat, coba, cipta, cerita). The results showed that 74.07% of the students encounter difficulty especially in the create phase, in which they have to try and create scientific products. It was also found that the highest difficulty was at the the try out and create phase. Thus, the level of student science understanding is still low. The conclusion is an initial stage of an action research to increase every HSPS indicators achievements.
A Comparative Study on Efficiency Assessment between Public and Private Universities: Evidence from Tanzania
Authors: BANGI YUSTIN IGNAS
Published: February 2019

Our study builds on a two- stage Data Envelopment Analysis to examine and compare the efficiency of public and private universities in Tanzania in 2008-2012. First, we use data envelopment analysis to measure the technical and scale efficiency of universities. Secondly, we examine factors that influence efficiency through Tobit regression model for both public and private Universities. The findings from the model affirm that the efficiency of the two University categories varies significantly. However, public University average efficiency is observed to be higher than that of private Universities. Whereas public Universities are inefficient in research and publications, private universities efficiency is determined by enrolment, academics staff and consultancy services. Given the contemporary significance of University education to social and individual development, we plead to the government University agency (TCU) to review the entire quality assurance process to improve Universities efficiency.
