Potential effects of the T-TIP on Turkey's motor vehicles and parts sector
Authors: Akel Abdullah , Ege Aylin
Published: July 2018

The aim of this article is to quantify the possible effects of a potential T-TIP between the US and the EU on production and exports of Turkey?s motor vehicles and parts sector. A partial equilibrium model is used to this end under two scenarios, the first one assuming only T-TIP, whereas the second one supposing a simultaneous free trade agreement between the US and Turkey. The simulations are based on the reductions in tariffs and non-tariff barriers between the T-TIP partners in the first scenario, and between the US and Turkey, as well in the second scenario. The simulation results indicate that the prospective effects on the sector?s production and exports differ significantly depending on different levels of integration. The results also reflect decreasing net welfare for Turkey and that a free trade agreement with the United States does not offer a significant market access potential for Turkey because of its production structure.
Arte, fantasia e amor na metafísica ocidental: a interpretação de Agamben sobre a cisão entre poesia e filosofia em Platão
Authors: Rocha Pinezi Gabriel Victor
Published: July 2018

O objetivo deste artigo é investigar como Giorgio Agamben problematiza a cisão entre filosofia e poesia em Platão. Identificamos dois momentos da crítica de Agamben a Platão: 1) em O Homem sem Conteúdo, a cisão entre poesia e filosofia aparece no contexto do projeto de uma “destruição da estética”, cujo foco é diferenciar os modos de produção “prático” e “poético” em sua relação com a história da metafísica; 2) em Estâncias, a cisão entre poesia e filosofia aparece em meio à análise da poesia de amor medieval, cujos conceitos de “amor” e de “fantasma”, mesmo se fundando numa tradição neoplatônica, apresentam um certo entendimento da origem da palavra poética que supera a cisão platônica entre verdade e fantasma. Busca-se apresentar de que modo estes dois momentos da crítica de Agamben à metafísica de Platão tem como objetivo restituir à filosofia o seu estatuto ético-poético.
Para escutar ruídos
Authors: Filizola Marcela
Published: July 2018

Este artigo propõe uma reflexão acerca da linguagem como abertura para novas formas de vida. A partir de um diálogo com a novela “Cara-de-Bronze”, de Guimarães Rosa, e com textos de Wittgenstein, Viveiros de Castro, Beckett, entre outros, busca-se pensar na língua como passagem, como silêncio e como esquecimento. Ao observar a materialidade atuante na escrita performática, o trabalho procura mostrar a linguagem como um espaço de encontro com as diferenças do outro e com a indeterminação da vida. O silêncio não deve ser compreendido como ausência de som, e sim como uma escuta que atenta para os ruídos do mundo ao redor, possibilitando assim o surgimento de outras sensibilidades.
Manaus sob a lente de uma Hasselblad: o olhar do intelectual em Relato de um certo Oriente, de Milton Hatoum
Authors: De Souza Cezar Luís Adriano
Published: July 2018

Neste ensaio, argumenta-se que o arranjo narrativo de Relato de um certo Oriente (1989), de Milton Hatoum, revela o ponto de vista de sujeitos pertencentes a um privilegiado estrato social e intelectual da Manaus representada no romance. Nesse sentido, o foco da análise concentra-se, especialmente, nos momentos da narrativa nos quais o relato fica a cargo do fotógrafo alemão Dorner, um estudioso da vida amazônica que viveu os principais eventos históricos da capital amazonense no século XX. Como aporte teórico e histórico, há o diálogo, entre outros autores, com BENJAMIN (1985), AGUIAR (2002), DAOU (2004) e MESQUITA (2006). Desse modo, esse romance é narrado sob o olhar intelectualizado de narradores que recompõem uma Manaus perdida no tempo das suas memórias.
Literatura digital, eletrônica ou hipermidiática: tendências contemporâneas de leitura para crianças e adolescentes
Authors: Segabinazi Daniela Maria , Oliveira Valnikson Viana de
Published: July 2018

A proposta deste artigo é refletir sobre conceitos e diferentes abordagens decorrentes da renovação da produção literária infantil e juvenil, evidenciando mais precisamente sua transposição do suporte impresso para o meio digital, eletrônico ou hipermidiático. Voltamos o nosso olhar para o percurso desta vertente a partir dos anos 1970, abarcando novas propostas temáticas e artifícios de aproximação com o público-alvo, até as atuais tendências de leitura a ela relacionadas. Valemo-nos especialmente dos apontamentos de Hayles (2009) e Kirchof (2009; 2014) para entender o contexto de elaboração das recentes plataformas voltadas ao leitor iniciante, tomando como principal exemplo o livro O menino e o foguete (2016), do escritor Marcelo Rubens Paiva e do ilustrador Alexandre Rampazo, lançado como parte do programa Itaú Criança, da Fundação Itaú Social. Tal obra evidencia o surgimento de um novo formato que só pode ser acessado em tablets e smartphones por uma página na rede social Facebook.
“COMEÇOU ENTÃO/ UMA NOITE MUITO COMPRIDA”: O TESTEMUNHO BOPPIANO SOBRE A ESCRAVIDÃO NO BRASIL
Authors: Pereira da Cunha Yasmeen
Published: July 2018

Este artigo busca analisar o livro de poemas Urucungo (1932), de Raul Bopp, e sua relação com o discurso historiográfico dominante. Assumindo a missão de “escovar a história a contrapelo”, tal como aparece em Walter Benjamin (2012), o sujeito lírico dos poemas, que se configura como testemunha, narra a história da escravidão no Brasil a partir da perspectiva do oprimido. Com isso, este mesmo sujeito lírico, ao reconstruir a história oficial utilizando-se de imagens da memória, propicia a rememoração ativa do passado, na tentativa de compreendê-lo, mas também de marcar os ecos desse passado no presente para barrar a continuação da opressão sofrida pelos negros. Partindo desse eixo de análise, serão norteadores os trabalhos de Florestan Fernandes (1965), Antônio Hohlfeldt (1998), Jaime Pinsky (1998) e Jeanne Marie Gagnebin (2009).

Authors: Defriyanto Defriyanto , Dernawan Oki
Published: July 2018

Untuk meningkatkan prestasi belajar peserta didik di sekolah, perlu diberikan bantuan-bantuan yang dapat mengatasi mereka dalam proses pembelajaran. Ada baiknya sebelum dilakukan upaya membantu peserta didik dalam mengatasi kesulitan belajar, perlu diketahui seberapa besar prevalensi (angka kejadian) peserta yang mengalami kesulitan belajar.  Mengukur prevalensi kesulitan belajar di madrasah memang perlu dilakukan, karena hal ini akan berhubungan dengan diagnosis kesulitan belajar dan program apa yang tepat diberikan kepada peserta didik. Dengan mengetahui prevalensi kesulitan belajar peserta didik di madrasah, maka akan membantu guru dalam memberikan bantuan yang tepat kepada peserta didik tersebut. Madrasah Aliyah Negeri I Bandar Lampung merupakan madrasah Aliyah yang memiliki peserta didik yang sangat banyak. Berdasarkan hasil wawancara dengan guru bimbingan konseling di madrasah ini ada sejumlah siswa yang prestasi belajarnya rendah dan mengalami kesulitan belajar (Wawancara dengan ibu Dina Kurniasih).  Adapun rumusan masalah penelitian ini: Bagaimana profil kesulitan belajar peserta didik di MAN I Bandar Lampung?  dan Berapa besar prevalensi kesulitan belajar di MAN I Bandar Lampung? Berdasarkan hasil analisis data maka penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa prevalensi kesulitan belajar di Madrasah Aliyah Negeri I Bandar Lampung sebesar 26, 2%. Prevalensi kesulitan belajar lebih banyak terjadi pada peserta didik laki-laki dari pada peserta didik perempuan. Sedangkan Tempat tinggal peserta didik dan jurusan tidak menentukan prevalensi kesulitan belajar. Boleh dikatakan bahwa tempat tinggal dan jurusan peserta didik tidak menunjukkan perbedaan prevalensi kesulitan  belajar yang dialami oleh peserta didik tersebut.
Can fiscal policy spur fertility?
Authors: Kudła Janusz , Walczyk Konrad
Published: July 2018

Research background: The decreasing fertility rate is a serious problem for policymakers as it affects the pension system as well as private consumption and savings. It seems reasonable to analyze whether fiscal policy may mitigate the low birthrate problem.

Purpose of the article: In this paper we strive to answer the question whether fiscal incentives spur fertility if parents are rational.

Methods: A theoretical economic model of utility maximization is applied to analyze the impact of fiscal policy on fertility. The conclusions are based on the analysis of comparative statics simulation calibrated for actual data from Poland.

Findings & Value added: The results indicate that a substantial fertility effect can be obtained by raising subsidies for children or general benefits for families.
Credit volatility and productivity growth
Authors: Brzozowski Michał
Published: July 2018

Research background: The issues of finance-growth nexus and financial instability have attracted considerable attention, but have been studied in isolation. This paper aims at filling this gap by providing insights into the implications of financial instability for long term productivity growth.

Purpose of the article: This paper sheds light on the relationship between credit-to-GDP ratio volatility and the total factor productivity (TFP) growth rate. The impact of systemic banking crises and financial depth on productivity growth is also studied.

Methods: The System GMM estimation of panel data for over 100 countries and spanning the period of 1970?2009 is used. The decomposition of credit-to-GDP ratio into trend and cyclical component is performed using the Hodrick-Prescott filter and a regression analysis with country-specific intercepts and slopes. The data on TFP comes from the Penn World Tables database.

Findings & Value added: TFP growth is negatively affected by credit volatility, mainly in less technologically advanced countries, while financial depth exerts a negative influence on TFP growth in economies with superior technology. Systemic banking crises and the concomitant credit crunches have a negative impact on productivity growth, regardless of the level of technological development. Moreover, the level of human capital, patents and globalization fuel productivity growth. Macroeconomic instability, measured by the rate of inflation, hampers TFP growth.
Process and product innovations, multi-product status and export performance: firm-level evidence from V?4 countries
Authors: Cieślik Andrzej , Michałek Jan Jakub
Published: July 2018

Research background: In this paper, we study empirically the relationship between different forms of innovations, multi-product status and export performance of firms from four Visegrad countries. We treat innovations as the key element that can increase the level of firm productivity.

Purpose of the article: The main objective is to analyze the empirical relationship between different firms of innovation of firms from Visegrad countries and their export performance. In contrast to previous studies that use R&D spending as a measure of innovation, we rather relay on innovation outcomes. Our detailed hypotheses postulate the existence of positive relationships between firm export performance and different forms of innovation. We seek to determine which type of innovation activity is of the greatest importance for exporting and whether it depends on firm size, the level of internationalization, the use of human capital and its sector of activity. In addition, we control for the multi-product status of firms, i.e. whether they sell one or many products.

Methods: The measures of innovative activity of companies include both spending on R&D as well as its effects, such as product and process innovations. In addition, we control for the multi-product status measured by the share of the main product in total sales of the firm, as well as for other firm-level characteristics. The empirical implementation of the theoretical framework is based on the probit models, applied to the fifth edition of BEEPS firm level data set covering the period 2011?2014.

Findings & Value added: Our results indicate that the probability of exporting is positively related to both product and process innovations and the multi-product status. In addition, we find that the probability of exporting is related to the set of control variables including labor productivity, firm size, the share of university graduates in productive employment, foreign capital participation and the use of foreign licenses.
The condition of economies. Do most valuable global brands matter?
Authors: Flisikowski Karol , Kucharska Wioleta
Published: July 2018

Research background: Brands are considered to be the most valuable asset of a company. Some of them achieve spectacular global results. The significance of global brands is proved by the fact that their value is often greater than the sum of all company?s net assets.

Purpose of the article: The aim of this article is to highlight that brand value does not only create company?s value, but also leverages economies. The Authors claim that even though global brands are sold worldwide and are a part of ?global factories?, they strongly relate to the development of economies in the countries where these brands? headquarters are located.

Methods: Based on 500 Brandirectory, the Most Valuable Global Brands ranking powered by Brand Finance, an analysis of spatial autocorrelation of brand values, GDP per capita was performed and also the interdependency between them was illustrated with the use of the spatial cross-regressive model (SCM). The SCM approach allowed us to include spatial effects of brand values into the final form of the estimated equation. The empirical analysis was performed for 33 countries in 2014.

Findings & Value added: Findings confirm the hypothesis that there is a highly statistically significant relationship between brand value and GDP per capita and, what?s more, it is observed that spatial dependencies matter for brand values. The evidence is based on the results of spatial cross-regressive model (SCM).
MODELING OF MULTICHANNEL QUEUING SYSTEMS AS COMPONENTS OF SOCIOTECHNICAL SYSTEMS
Authors: Popov Georgiy Aleksandrovich
Published: July 2018

For a multichannel queuing system, in which all calls have individual characteristics of arrival and maintenance in accordance with their characteristics in the required socio-technical system and switching from one call to another are performed in accordance with a specified switching function determined by the resolution policy adopted in the socio-technical system of conflict situations, recurrence relations have been obtained for the queue lengths, for the list of free instrument changes, for the list of call numbers waiting for service, and for a number of other characteristics at successive call termination services. The procedure of sequential calculation of all specified characteristics of the system is described taking into account their internal interrelation. In accordance with this procedure, in a strictly defined sequence, eleven characteristics of the system are calculated on the basis of recurrence relations. To increase the efficiency of the process of practical implementation of the modeling procedure, it is proposed to replace the initial distribution functions of random variables by their approximate values, which are mixtures of gamma distributions whose values can be calculated significantly faster than the values of the initial distributions. The problem of finding a set of exponential distributions for a given simulated distribution function is formalized, the mixture of which approximates the distribution function with a given accuracy.
STRUCTURAL MODELING OF SEWAGE WATER AERATION PROCESS IN A SURFACE TYPE SATURATOR AS AN OBJECT OF AUTOMATION
Authors: Nazarov Maxim Aleksandrovich , Gunko Mikhail Sergeevich , Pushin Dmitriy Vladimirovich
Published: July 2018

As part of solving the problem of finding technical approaches that contribute to the achievement of environmental protection goals, special attention is paid to sewage treatment facilities, which are the main sources of hydrosphere pollution. The treatment of liquid wastes of enterprises is a complex chain of technological redistributions, each of which is characterized by a multitude of parameters. There has been considered the process of saturation with air in a surface type saturator, which is important in terms of the quality of flotation treatment of wastewater. To create effective systems for automatic control of the technological stage under investigation it is proposed to apply an approach, one element of which is to find mathematical description of the object in the form of equations and structures. It is shown that aeration of effluents is a multidimensional non-stationary object of control, whose output coordinates are the liquid level and air pressure in the pressure tank and the air concentration in the drain at its outlet. Vectors of control and disturbing influences are singled out. The first vector includes the level of fluid and air pressure in the reservoir, the concentration of air in the outlet solution, the second one includes the temperature of water and air at the inlet to the plant and the flow of outgoing liquid, temperature and the speed of the air outside. Mathematical description of the process of air saturation of sewage water in a surface type saturator as an automation object is given. On the basis of the resulting system of equations, a structural diagram of the mathematical model is synthesized, which can later be used to create computational models of the object and the control system of the sewage treatment complex.
INVESTIGATION OF ACCURACY AND SPEED OF CONVERGENCE OF ALGORITHMS OF STOCHASTIC OPTIMIZATION OF FUNCTIONS ON A MULTIDIMENSIONAL SPACE
Authors: Korneev Andrei Mastislavovich , Sukhanov Andrey Vladimirovich
Published: July 2018

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the accuracy of calculations and the amount of time spent on finding optimal values for functions of several variables using the algorithmic stochastic optimization algorithms based on the annealing simulation method. To conduct research by the staff of the Department of General Mechanics of the Lipetsk State Technical University, software has been created that implements algorithms for finding extremal values for functions of several variables. The functional purpose of the software is intellectual support for decision-making in the formation of chemical compositions of cast iron alloys. Optimization is performed on a specific and fixed search area, which is a hyperparallelepiped, the boundaries of the variation in the percentage content of a chemical element in the alloy. In the program, ten modifications of the annealing simulation algorithm are realized, allowing a finite number of steps to make an estimate of the optimal value of the input elements of the function under study on a multidimensional space. In particular, modification of A, B and С algorithm schemes using the Boltzmann and Cauchy distribution functions, as well as the superfast annealing algorithm and the Xin Yao algorithm are implemented. The results of the computational experiment for three different functions are presented: from six, eight and nine variables, a comparative analysis of the proximity of the results to the optimal values for each modification of the algorithm is carried out. The obtained data made it possible to draw conclusions about the advantages and disadvantages of each of the modifications of the stochastic search algorithm. Based on the results of computational experiments, the regularities between the time costs of algorithms and their numerical parameters are determined. With the help of linear regression, analytical dependencies are obtained, which allow estimating the time of the algorithms operation depending on the values of their numerical parameters. The paper contains a number of conclusions about the applicability of stochastic optimization modifications for solving applied problems, the shortcomings of modifications and their dignity are highlighted.

Authors: Sorokin Alexander Aleksandrovich , Chertina Elena Vitalievna
Published: July 2018

Economic characteristics of the network elements of communication provider network in the course of their operation have been chosen as the subject of the study. General principles of obtaining the current assessment of economic situation of the transmission network element of the communication operator (project) are described. As input data to the current assessment of the economic condition of the project, the deviation factor from the plan for profit and the deviation factor from the plan for profitability were used. The use of elements of the theory of fuzzy sets for the generalization of expert opinions on the coefficients used has been justified. A system of fuzzy inference has been developed, which makes it possible to diagnose the current economic efficiency of the project in question. Mamdani algorithm and Gaussian membership functions are used to implement the fuzzy inference system. To perform intermediate calculations related to obtaining the current economic efficiency of the project the following indicators are proposed: the number of subscribers; incoming cash flow; planned costs for maintenance of project equipment; planned systematic payments; actual number of subscribers of the project; actual amount of incoming cash flow; real systematic payments; additional unplanned payments. The procedure for determining the values of intermediate variables for obtaining the current economic efficiency of operation of the structural element of the telecommunications operator network has been described, and IDEF0 diagram of this process has been developed.

Authors: Prigaro Stanislav Valentinovich
Published: July 2018

In terms of evaluating efficiency of control of a property complex of a university there has been formulated the problem of organization of managing the fixed assets of the university. Process is divided into three subtotals. Systems analysis of the existing indicators of an efficiency evaluation of management of fixed assets has been carried out. Indicators are distributed in 5 directions. Indicators of the status of a property complex characterize the property status of fixed assets of the higher educational institution. Indicators of the financial state of fixed assets reflect the financial state of fixed assets of the higher educational institution. Indicators of profile use determine efficient use of real assets. Energy efficiency indicators display using energy resources in the higher educational institution. Indicators of business activity show the level of profitability of the higher educational institution. According to method of hierarchy analysis, there was performed ranging of efficiency indicators of property management into the hierarchical set containing 4 levels: purpose, groups of indicators, indicators, factors. The procedure of control of a property complex of the higher education institution has been formalized and parameters of the rational solution of an objective of management have been revealed. The conceptual structure of system of decision support of management of a property complex of a university has been constructed. The functional system model is developed. The designed system of decision support includes the following subsystems: subsystem of handling expert opinions, subsystem of forming account of fixed assets, subsystem of making decisions on effective management of property of a higher educational institution.
There is more to it than meets the eye
Authors: Tietjen Anne , Jørgensen Gertrud
Published: July 2018

Based on a Danish case, this paper investigates how strategic urban and landscape design can contribute to positive developments in rural areas that are challenged by population decline. From 2007–2012, the municipality of Bornholm conducted a strategic planning process, which aimed to enhance quality of life by strengthening place-based qualities and potential through local physical projects. Guided by actor-network theory (ANT) we analyse the socio-material effects of the new assemblages of people and things around the design interventions that were made. We find that strategic spatial projects can contribute considerably to quality of life in declining rural areas. From a wider strategic perspective, they can also define new spatial development perspectives rooted in place-based resources and potential. Methodologically, ANT offers a pertinent framework for studying the long-term performance of strategic spatial projects and how design actions can continue to gather new actors, spark new initiatives and, thereby, fuel repercussive effects.
ПРИОРИТЕТНЫЕ ЗАДАЧИ СОВЕРШЕНСТВОВАНИЯ ОНКОЛОГИЧЕСКОЙ СТАТИСТИКИ В РОССИИ
Authors: Мерабишвили В.М.
Published: July 2018

Экологические факторы оказывают значительное влияние на заболеваемость злокачественными новообразованиями. Для адекватного учета этого влияния, обоснованных прогнозов и сравнения между регионами и странами необходимо совершенствовать как экологический, так и онкологический учет. Настоящая статья посвящена анализу второй стороны этой взаимосвязи. Актуальность такого анализа обусловлена в частности тем, что до настоящего времени порядок сводки данных и проведения расчета аналитических показателей в России и за рубежом существенно различаются, что не позволяет получить объективную характеристику деятельности онкологической службы. Прежде всего это связано с установленными сроками обобщения данных. По рекомендации Международной Ассоциации раковых регистров (МАРР), обобщение данных должно быть представлено не ранее чем через год по окончанию анализируемого календарного года, после тщательного контроля всех параметров первичного учетного документа, исключения дублей, поиска всех возможных случаев смерти учтенных больных. В России на это дается 20 дней (из них 10 – каникулы). Свод отчета за прошедший год определен на 20 января текущего, когда значительное число врачебных свидетельств о смерти еще не поступило в комитеты загс. С 2011 г. в России установлен закон, запрещающий врачам выкопировку «Врачебных свидетельств о смерти», хотя персональными данными на заболевших они уже располагают. Многие территории добились допуска к этим документам (но не все). Те, кто добился допуска после 2011 г., на протяжении ряда лет не могли сделать отметку даты смерти больного. В онкологических контингентах накопился огромный пласт «мертвых душ». Численность контингентов онкологических больных возросла до 3,5 млн, что не соответствует реальному состоянию. Практически в 2 раза занижен показатель летальности онкологических больных по сравнению с реальным состоянием. Административное давление привело к существенному искажению удельного веса ранних стадий. После создания нами в 1993 г. первого в России Популяционного ракового регистра (ПРР) и, позднее, проведения анализа баз данных 12 ПРР, работающих по нашим программам, подготовленных совместно с ООО «Новел», стали очевидными необходимость внесения коррекции в систему сбора данных на онкологических больных и переход на международный стандарт сводки данных.

El presente artículo es resultado de un proceso de investigación en torno a las experiencias de vivienda de la Conapamg en Guatemala y en la Cuenca Norte, en Guararí de Heredia, Costa Rica, a partir de las cuales se sustenta el cambio en la concepción de la vivienda como derecho humano a la vivienda como mercancía.
De este trabajo se deriva un apartado centrado en la negación del derecho a la ciudad, enmarcada en las relaciones de desigualdad que han sido legitimadas a partir de las diversas racionalidades excluyentes, las cuales restringen el acceso de lo público al amplio segmento de la población no privilegiada.
Recurrencias argumentativas y cuestiones en trabajos de titulación de pregrado: insumos para la programación de la formación argumental a nivel de pregrado
Authors: Risco del Valle Eduardo
Published: July 2018

La centralidad de la enseñanza de la argumentación en la formación universitaria ha sido transversal a toda la formación de pre y posgrado y connatural a ella desde los orígenes medievales de la propia institución universitaria; de hecho, esta formación se pone en ejercicio –y a veces es medida– en grados crecientes de complejidad a lo largo de toda la formación de pregrado con instrumentos entre los que descuella de manera particular el ensayo académico y su culminación más prístina: la tesis de grado.

El trabajo que presentamos forma parte de una investigación mayor destinada a recoger insumos relevantes para una programación de la formación argumental a nivel universitario, de manera que sus resultados son aún preliminares, pero, entre ellos, seleccionamos los que tienen relación con la recurrencia de cuestiones presentes y los tipos de argumentos preferidos por los estudiantes a la hora de escribir sus tesis de grado. Los resultados de la investigación revelan un panorama que acusa serios vacíos en la formación argumental de los estudiantes y una alarmante escasez de manejo de los recursos disponibles.
Desarrollo del pensamiento crítico desde el área de Ciencias Sociales en la educación básica secundaria
Authors: Madrid Hincapié Joan Manuel
Published: July 2018

El presente artículo de reflexión se adscribe a la sección de narrativas pedagógicas, el cual procura aportar presupuestos de juicio sobre la posibilidad de enseñar a pensar críticamente desde la enseñanza de las Ciencias Sociales en la secundaria.
