La Presencia de Brasil en el Comité de Ayuda al Desarrollo: narrativas, realidades y desafíos
Authors: Cerda Dueñas Carlos
Published: May 2021

O governo brasileiro promove a adesão à Organização para a Cooperação e Desenvolvimento Econômico (OCDE) coloquial e sarcasticamente chamada de Clube dos Ricos. A adesão a este organismo implica identificação, aproximação ou consentimento a certos preceitos e mecanismos de governança promovidos dentro dele. Na questão do desenvolvimento, o Brasil apresentou posturas dissímeis e antagônicas às estabelecidas no Comitê de Ajuda ao Desenvolvimento (CAD). A situação de desenvolvimento humano do Brasil sugere que não se tornará, a médio prazo, um membro pleno do CAD, o que não significa que não participe e exerça liderança para procurar mudanças ou a realização dos objetivos que foram estabelecidos e promovidos até o início do procedimento da adesão. Nesse sentido, este artigo discute o papel e a narrativa do Brasil sobre a questão da cooperação para o desenvolvimento, bem como os desafios e oportunidades que isso implicaria para o Brasil e sua política de cooperação como parte de sua presença no CAD a partir da eventual entrada na OCDE. É examinada a natureza do próprio CAD; a discussão em torno aos doadores de cooperação que não são membros desse comitê; a narrativa utilizada pelo Brasil no passado recente sobre o tema do desenvolvimento e seu papel como ator importante na Cooperação Sul-Sul; e o posicionamento contra as posições do CAD/OCDE sobre o tema e a perspectiva do seu eventual papel no CAD. Conclui-se que a transição do país convidado para membro não CAD da OCDE representa uma oportunidade para o Brasil impulsar de novo, dentro do CAD, a agenda já promovida por países que têm essa condição e que tem sido diminuída pela relutância dos países desenvolvidos em abordar essas questões.
Growth, equity, and the labor Market: nordic lessons for Brazil
Authors: Trebat Thomas J.
Published: May 2021

Brazil has been facing serious employment and income distribution problems and its economy has grown at an anemic pace for a considerable period of time. This article argues for a reinvigorated policy discussion in Brazil around issues of labor market reforms and those social benefit programs most closely linked to labor demand and supply. It does so by bringing to bear on the Brazilian case the successful experience of the Nordic economies in balancing policies to provide labor flexibility to firms while extending security to workers, a system often referred to as “flexicurity”. While cautioning against a simplistic “copy and paste” approach, the underlying principles of flexicurity are used to evaluate potential reforms in Brazil labor law and regulation.
Arrangement e a conjuntura global de apoio oficial à exportação: perspectivas para a política brasileira
Authors: Marechal Daniel Anselmo , Lima Ricardo Klinger Izidoro , Rocha Érico Rial Pinto da
Published: May 2021

Ao longo dos anos 1970 e 1980, os países desenvolvidos estabeleceram um regime internacional, baseado em um conjunto de regras acordadas no âmbito da Organização para a Cooperação e Desenvolvimento Econômico (OCDE), buscando restringir a concessão de subsídios por meio do apoio oficial ao crédito à exportação. A partir de meados da década de 2000, porém, países emergentes passaram a conceder uma parcela crescente do volume total de crédito à exportação no mundo, o que tem desafiado a eficácia do regime existente. Neste artigo, apresentaremos um modelo teórico para explicar por que os Estados tendem a subsidiar exportações por meio do apoio oficial ao crédito, embora um equilíbrio não cooperativo, em que todos os Estados atuam dessa forma, engendre um resultado subótimo. Adicionalmente, serão discutidas as condições econômicas, políticas e institucionais que viabilizaram a construção do regime existente, comparando-as com as características do cenário atual, em especial as práticas vigentes das agências de crédito à exportação da China e a resposta dos países desenvolvidos. Após a análise das principais tendências do cenário internacional, o artigo discute os desafios mais relevantes enfrentados pela política brasileira de crédito à exportação. Por fim, analisaremos os prós e contras de uma eventual adesão integral do Brasil às diretrizes sobre a matéria preconizadas pelo Arrangement da OCDE.
SPLUS J210428.01−004934.2: An Ultra Metal-poor Star Identified from Narrowband Photometry*

Published: May 2021

We report on the discovery of SPLUS J210428.01−004934.2, an ultra metal-poor (UMP) star first identified from the narrowband photometry of the Southern Photometric Local Universe Survey (S-PLUS) Data Release 1, in the SDSS Stripe 82 region. Follow-up medium- and high-resolution spectroscopy (with Gemini South and Magellan-Clay, respectively) confirmed the effectiveness of the search for low-metallicity stars using the S-PLUS narrowband photometry. At [Fe/H] = −4.03, SPLUS J2104−0049 has the lowest detected carbon abundance, A(C) = +4.34, when compared to the 34 previously known UMP stars in the literature, which is an important constraint on its stellar progenitor and also on stellar evolution models at the lowest metallicities. Based on its chemical abundance pattern, we speculate that SPLUS J2104−0049 could be a bona fide second-generation star, formed from a gas cloud polluted by a single metal-free ∼ 30M
⊙ star. This discovery opens the possibility of finding additional UMP stars directly from narrowband photometric surveys, a potentially powerful method to help complete the inventory of such peculiar objects in our Galaxy.
Constraining the Regolith Composition of Asteroid (16) Psyche via Laboratory Visible Near-infrared Spectroscopy

Published: May 2021

(16) Psyche is the largest M-type asteroid in the main belt and the target of the NASA Discovery-class Psyche mission. Despite gaining considerable interest in the scientific community, Psyche's composition and formation remain unconstrained. Originally, Psyche was considered to be almost entirely composed of metal due to its high radar albedo and spectral similarities to iron meteorites. More recent telescopic observations suggest the additional presence of low-Fe pyroxene and exogenic carbonaceous chondrites on the asteroid's surface. To better understand the abundances of these additional materials, we investigated visible near-infrared (0.35–2.5 μm) spectral properties of three-component laboratory mixtures of metal, low-Fe pyroxene, and carbonaceous chondrite. We compared the band depths and spectral slopes of these mixtures to the telescopic spectrum of (16) Psyche to constrain material abundances. We find that the best matching mixture to Psyche consists of 82.5% metal, 7% low-Fe pyroxene, and 10.5% carbonaceous chondrite by weight, suggesting that the asteroid is less metallic than originally estimated (∼94%). The relatively high abundance of carbonaceous chondrite material estimated from our laboratory experiments implies the delivery of this exogenic material through low velocity collisions to Psyche's surface. Assuming that Psyche's surface is representative of its bulk material content, our results suggest a porosity of 35% to match recent density estimates.
Catalog of Rose Gall, Herb Gall, and Inquiline Gall Wasps (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) of the United States, Canada, and Mexico
Authors: Nastasi Louis , Deans Andrew
Published: May 2021

Cynipidae (Hymenoptera: Cynipoidea) is a diverse group of wasps, many of which are capable of inducing plants to make novel structures, galls, that protect and nourish the wasps' larvae. Other cynipids, especially those species in Ceroptresini and Synergini, are understood to be usurpers of galls made by other cynipids. The North American cynipid fauna has not been fully cataloged since 1979, but there is renewed interest in revising the taxonomy and in doing research that sheds light on the mechanisms of gall induction, the evolution of this life history, and their ecological interactions more broadly. Significant taxonomic changes have impacted the group since 1979, thereby warranting a new catalog.

The current state of knowledge of species classified in Aulacideini, Ceroptresini, Diastrophini, Diplolepidini, Phanacidini, and Synergini in the United States, Canada, and Mexico is summarized in catalog format. We report 323 names, including 170 valid species of rose gall wasps, herb gall wasps, and inquiline gall wasps, classified in 12 genera, from the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Current taxonomic status, distribution, host associations, and vernacular names are listed for each species. The catalog also includes the original description of galls for many species of gall-inducer, as well as atomized characterizations of different gall traits as key-value pairs. For most galling species without existing vernacular names, new vernacular names are proposed.
Third time’s the charm: The definitive rediscovery of Telmatobius halli Noble, 1938 (Anura, Telmatobiidae) at its historic type locality
Authors: von Tschirnhaus Jakob , Correa Claudio
Published: May 2021

Telmatobius halli Noble, 1938 was the first representative of its genus to be described for Chile, but for 80 years no new individuals could be located due to the vagueness with which its type locality was described. The type series was collected by one of the members of the International High Altitude Expedition to Chile (IHAEC) that took place in 1935. Recently, three studies successively claimed to have rediscovered the type locality in different places. The third study proved, considering the chronicles of the IHAEC, that the actual locality is Miño, at the origin of the Loa River. In the contemporary herpetological literature, there are no records of Telmatobius from this locality. In this study, we provide additional documentary antecedents and graphic material that corroborate that the mentioned location is indeed the historic type locality of T. halli. Additionally, we describe the recently discovered Telmatobius population from Miño, whose external characteristics are consistent with the description of T. halli, and the environment it inhabits. Furthermore, we performed a molecular phylogenetic analysis that strongly suggests that T. halli (from Miño), T. dankoi and T. vilamensis, all known only from their type locality in Chile, are conspecific. Neither of the populations from the previously proposed rediscoveries grouped with the one from the genuine type locality. We discuss the implications that these findings have for the taxonomy, biogeography and conservation of the populations from the extreme south of the distribution of the genus in Chile.
Nest site selection and nesting behavior of the mud turtle Kinosternon scorpiodes (Testudines, Kinosternidae) in Palo Verde National Park, Costa Rica: implications for management
Authors: Mora José M. , Castañeda Franklin E.
Published: May 2021

Habitat selection is the process whereby individuals preferentially use, or occupy, a non-random set of available habitats. At the same time, nest site selection is defined as the placement of eggs by females at sites differing from random sites within a delimited area. We located 59 nests of the mud turtle Kinosternon scorpioides in Palo Verde National Park (PVNP) in Northwestern Costa Rica. We compared eight microhabitat variables at nest sites against those at random sites. Females significantly placed their eggs at sites with more understory, leaf litter cover, and greater leaf litter depth than in random sites. Additionally, females selected sites with lower air and soil temperature and lower air humidity. Palo Verde NP is subject to active management actions designed to control invasive plant species in the wetland, namely cattail (Thypha domingensis Pers.). The main actions have been cattle grazing, controlled fires, and mechanical crushing of vegetation. We found that habitat quality in nesting areas is being threatened by at least one of these actions: cattle grazing. This is detrimental for three microhabitat traits that turtles select for nesting sites: understory cover, leaf litter cover, and leaf litter depth. The continued degradation of microhabitats at nesting areas of K. scorpioides at PVNP could be affecting recruitment due to embryo survivorship.
The Role of Sources and Types of Health Information in Shaping Health Literacy in Cervical Cancer Screening Among African Immigrant Women: A Mixed-Methods Study
Authors: Cudjoe Joycelyn , Gallo Joseph J. , Sharps Phyllis , Budhathoki Chakra , Roter Debra , Han Hae-Ra
Published: May 2021

Background:

Health literacy is a strong determinant of health outcomes among immigrants. How sources and types of health information influence health literacy in the context of cervical cancer screening among African immigrant women remains unknown.

Objective:

This study was undertaken to explore how various sources and types of health information influence information sharing and health literacy in the context of cervical cancer screening among African immigrant women.

Methods:

Using a mixed-methods approach, a convenience sample of African immigrant women (
N
= 167) completed study surveys followed by semi-structured individual phone interviews with a purposive sub-sample (
n
= 20) of survey participants. The relationship between sources and types of health information and health literacy was assessed using multivariate logistic regression. Emergent themes were identified in the qualitative interviews using content analysis. Qualitative and quantitative data were merged to describe differences and similarities in African immigrant women's experiences and display of health literacy by different sources and types of health information.

Key Results:

Health care providers (78%), women friends (46%), and internet (45%) were the most common sources of health information used by African immigrant women, followed by women relatives (32%), television (22%), social media (17%), and church (16%). Content analysis revealed that the health care provider was rated as the most credible source; personal experiences of family and friends made health information more relatable; and church was the least endorsed source. Health information presented verbally (adjusted odds ratio of 5.51,
p
= .01) was associated with higher health literacy even after controlling for covariates. Most African immigrant women had health information presented in verbal form (80%), with pictures (43%) being the least popular type of health information.

Conclusions:

Study findings suggest that verbal communication is associated with health literacy in the context of cervical cancer screening among African immigrant women. Health interventions that use peer educators (women friends and family) and incorporate verbal communication may be a more effective strategy in promoting positive cervical cancer health behaviors among African immigrant women.

A GIS Multi-Criteria Analysis and Remote Sensing for Flood Risk Management of Bou Salem City, Tunisia
Authors: Saidi Salwa , Ghattassi Anis , Zaggouri Samar , Ezzine Ahmed
Published: May 2021

In the context of global warming, it is very critical to delineate areas of high flood vulnerability and risk. Climate and hydrologic surveying using traditional methods is not always available and depends on external factors. So, the use of geographical information system and remote sensing is of high importance as a decision support system. This approach is of low cost and can cover a long period for surveying. This study aims to provide decision makers a framework of GIS based on multicriteria analysis for flood risk mapping. Classified remote sensing image layers are used to complete GIS-multicriteria results. Results show that the high to very high-risk levels affect the majority of the study area, particularly the south-west and north-east zones. The comparison between GIS and remote sensing approaches shows the same areas of risk and reveals that it is a reliable methodology that greatly enhances decision making.
Improving Geospatial Big Data Analytics Approaches
Authors: Rekik Sana
Published: May 2021

The advent of geospatial big data has led to a paradigm shift where most related applications became data driven, and therefore intensive in both data and computation. This revolution has covered most domains, namely the real-time systems such as web search engines, social networks, and tracking systems. These later are linked to the high-velocity feature, which characterizes the dynamism, the fast changing and moving data streams. Therefore, the response time and speed of such queries, along with the space complexity, are among data stream analysis system requirements, which still require improvements using sophisticated algorithms. In this vein, this chapter discusses new approaches that can reduce the complexity and costs in time and space while improving the efficiency and quality of responses of geospatial big data stream analysis to efficiently detect changes over time, conclude, and predict future events.

Published: May 2021

Objectives: To assess adverse drug reactions (ADRs) reporting and identify factors to improve ADR reporting among community pharmacists in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana.Design: A quantitative cross-sectional study.Setting: Community pharmacies in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana.Participants: We randomly selected 210 pharmacists from a list community of pharmacies in Accra, Ghana. All participants had been practicing in the past one year, with this study being conducted from June to July 2016.Main outcome measure: Prevalence of ADR reporting by community pharmacists in Accra, Ghana.Results: Of the 210 community pharmacists interviewed 54.0% were males. Mean age was 32±10 years. Majority (96.0%) had heard of ADR reporting in Ghana, yet 18% had never seen the ADR reporting form. Reasons given for failure to report suspected ADRs included unavailability of reporting forms (83.1%), uncertainty about a causal relationship between the drug and the suspected ADR and classification of the reaction as “normal” with the medication being taken (23.6%). Only 34.0% of pharmacists had the ADR reporting forms available in their facilities. Marital status was the only factor significantly associated with ADR reporting (OR 3.18, 95%CI 1.02 – 9.12).Conclusion: ADR reporting by community pharmacists in Ghana remains low. To improve the proportion of reporting, ADR forms should be made available in all pharmacies, pharmacists and the general public should be made aware of online reporting systems, with continuous professional development in Pharmacovigilance with the advice that all suspected ADRs should be reported irrespective of uncertainty about causality.

Aterosclerosis Carotidea: Una Causa Frecuente Pero Prevenible de Ictus Isquémico
Authors: Del Brutto Victor J. , Saleh-Velez Faddi
Published: May 2021

La aterosclerosis carotidea (AC) es responsable del 10-20% de todos los ictus isquémicos y se caracteriza por ser una causa prevenible de ictus mediante el control de factores de riesgo, manejo médico intensivo, y, en casos de AC severa, mediante la revascularización carotidea. Estudios originales en la década de 1990 mostraron un beneficio significativo de la revascularización por endarterectomia en pacientes con AC sintomática y estenosis severa (>70%), mientras que el beneficio en pacientes con estenosis moderada (50-69%) y en aquellos con AC asintomática fue más modesto. La identificación de factores de riesgo no tradicionales que puedan ayudar a la detección temprana y prevención primaria de AC, la eficacia de la terapia médica intensiva para disminuir el riesgo de ictus en pacientes con AC asintomática, y el desarrollo de nuevas técnicas quirúrgicas de revascularización con menor riesgo de complicaciones perioperatorias, son áreas de investigación activa en el manejo de pacientes de AC. El objetivo de nuestro artículo es resumir los conocimientos actuales de la AC y brindar un enfoque práctico para el diagnóstico y tratamiento de AC.

Published: May 2021

O Conforto Térmico (CT) é definido como a condição psicologica que expressa satisfação com o ambiente, onde  não se sente sensação de calor ou de frio. Este trabalho teve como objetivo realizar uma análise subjetiva da sensação térmica dos visitantes do Parque Municipal de Santarém-PA, assim como verificar a precisão do modelo do voto médio predito nas estações seca e chuvosa. Foram aplicados 75 questionários semiestruturados em cada estação, que avaliava os parâmetros que constituem o CT humano de acordo com as normas internacionais. Esses questionários foram aplicados no Parque Municipal da cidade de Santarém-Pará. O teste de Mann-Whitney foi utilizado para comparar a percepção térmica dos visitantes do parque a fim de verificar se a sensação apresenta similaridade dentre os períodos, o modelo do Voto Médio Predito (em inglês, PMV) foi empregado para estimar a percepção térmica dos visitantes do parque. Foi possível observar que a sensação de desconforto é a de maior predominância nas duas estações. O teste de Mann-Whitney indica que, de forma geral, a sensação de conforto é a mesma durante as duas estações, e o PMV apresenta desempenho insatisfatório para todos os períodos avaliados. Espera-se que esses resultados possam colaborar no entendimento do CT de Santarém e ajudar no entendimento do microclima em cidades na região amazônica.
Meta-relativist agenda in contemporary visual arts theory and practice
Authors: Khassanov Marat , Petrova Vera , Khassanova Assiya
Published: May 2021

The borders of visual art on the eve of the 20th-21st centuries are being extremely expanded both at the empirical and theoretical levels and so is the agenda of contemporary philosophy of art. Is the unprecedented polyphony of discourses a methodological drawback or is it a heuristic opportunity that can help to broaden our knowledge about the essence of art and the notion of a work of art? What is visual art and what is artwork speaking the 21st century language?
The study examines the current trends and innovations in the visual arts field and how they can be interpreted. Authors come to conclusion that the times of normative or negativist approaches are over. The plethora of transformations is a value-in-itself and can be seen as a legitimate methodological situation, namely, as a meta-relativist turn. Examples that are presented in the paper deal with different sides of “a work of art formula”: span of discourse, artist, audience, art space, art market, new technologies, etc. Those cases demonstrate the ambivalence of current visual art practices that can be interpreted either as complete negation of the preceding standards or as new discourses that are equally legitimate with the older ones. Meta-relativist approach treats all existing discourses and practices as equally legitimate and thus provides the method to broaden our understanding of the essence of art and definition of an artwork. The study suggests that it is a contemporary tool for further intra- and inter-disciplinary dialogue.
"Exceptional" heroes in inclusive film of Kazakhstan
Authors: Kassymkhanova Akmaral , Popov Vladimir , Nogerbek Baubek
Published: May 2021

The theme of integrating people with special needs into society is extremely relevant both for the entire civilized world and for our country in particular. The introduction refers to the signing by the Republic of Kazakhstan of the Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities at the UN headquarters. However, today there is no full-fledged integration of people with disabilities into society. As it is known, cinematography is a modern herald of value orientations, it has educational functions, and also endows a viewer with ability to see beauty in everything. However, domestic science has not yet investigated the image of an "exceptional" hero in cinema, which is a person with a disability. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to provide scientific coverage of inclusive cinema in Kazakhstan and the image of an “exceptional” hero. The study used theoretical methods such as bibliographic, descriptive, analytical, systematic, chronological and statistical. The results examine the impact of inclusive cinema on the transformation of public opinion, as well as instilling humanity in society. The discussion contains official data on shooting of 248 feature films for the period of independence of the Republic of Kazakhstan of which only 17 are devoted to the theme of disability. The article shows the dynamics of the creation of films about disability in the Republic of Kazakhstan, highlights modern inclusive cinema in Kazakhstan on the example of the films “To be or not to be” (2014) and “The girl and the sea” (2017) directed by Aziz Zairov and Mukhamed Mamyrbekov. In conclusion, it is suggested that inclusive cinema can serve as a “beacon” of value orientations for society and a guide in understanding and accepting citizens with disabilities. It also proposes a forecast of development of the trend of creating pictures about people with disabilities.

Среди аудиовизуальных искусств современное кино является самым влиятельным видом искусства, основанным на синтезе театра, литературы, живописи, фотографии, режиссуры, драмы и ряде других искусств. С точки зрения психологии восприятия, большую роль в развитии новейших тенденций в этом направлении, безусловно, играют художники, внося прорыв и в науку, и в новейшие технологии. Смена пространства и времени в кино и в театре – две основные составляющие успеха любого фильма или спектакля, независимо от жанра. Существует интерес к проблеме визуального мышления как предпосылке для понимания различных способов визуальной коммуникации, а проблемы объективного отражения мира вокруг человека в последнее время чрезвычайно расширились. Эти обстоятельства должны были определить предвидение современного человека, но, как показывает практика, все это привело к возникновению некоего хаоса. Решением является тщательный анализ процессов визуального мышления, что предполагает комплексное изучение гуманитарных дисциплин, и в этом ракурсе данная статья ориентирована на рассмотрение не только какого-то одного аспекта этой проблемы, а на осмысление роли визуального мышления в целостном восприятии кино и театра. Целью статьи является теоретико-методологическое исследование новых форм визуальной целостности образа на примере казахстанской сценографии и кинодизайна. Задачи: исследовать теоретические и эмпирические подходы понимания целостности образа; определить сущностные качества визуализации образа в современных аудиовизуальных искусствах и обосновать основные понятийные концепты и категории целостности образа; а также методы воздействия визуализации, связанные с явлениями синестезии. Современные подходы и методы психологии, семиологические подходы (У. Эко, П. Пазолини, К. Метц), структуралистские подходы в кинематографии (Ю. Лотман, Ю. Цивьян, Б. Успенский, Ю. Мартыненко), герменевтические и практико-ориентированные методы исследования. Визуализация воображения проявляется как качество и основа целостности образа произведения. Всё воспринимается первоначально через визуализацию образа, фиксируя окружающие явления с большей яркостью, нежели другие. Визуализация, или мысленное представление, – это способность мозга видеть предметы в образах, мысленно «достраивать» то, что не запомнилось сразу. Это творческий процесс. Если следствия многих творческих актов направлены на познание и преобразование окружающего мира, то активизировать свои замыслы человек может лишь через визуальное воображение, являющееся его фундаментальной способностью. Результатом этого становятся создаваемые индивидуальным сознанием образные структуры, реализуемые в культурном творчестве личности.
A literatura do ensino médio nas vozes de acadêmicos de Letras: um relato de experiência
Authors: Robbin Daniel Abud Marques , Arf Lucilene Machado Garcia
Published: May 2021

Apresentamos, neste artigo, percepções de acadêmicos de Letras, no que se refere a experiências que estes possuíram com as aulas de literatura no Ensino Médio. Para tanto, consideramos o aporte teórico das teorias do Ensino de Literatura e do Letramento Literário, de modo a confrontar perspectivas clássicas e atuais, e dar voz àqueles que mais necessitam de uma formação crítica enquanto leitores literários, os ex-alunos e futuros professores, formadores de gerações de leitores críticos. Objetivamos, com esta pesquisa, trazer à tona sucessos e lacunas metodológicas, a partir das visões de mundo de futuros professores de língua e literatura, visões estas pautadas em sua vivência e em sua formação escolar. Ao contrastarmos práticas motivadoras e não-motivadoras nas aulas de literatura do ensino médio, a partir dos relatos analisados, concluímos que há grande divergência entre práticas pedagógicas na sala de aula e aquilo que é preconizado pelas teorias do ensino de literatura. Dos quatorze relatos analisados, nove são memórias literárias negativas. Apenas cinco entrevistados apontaram lembranças positivas das aulas de Literatura do Ensino Médio. Além disso, este trabalho reforça a importância do professor enquanto motivador/mediador da prática de leitura por parte dos jovens cidadãos em formação, com vistas a um contínuo processo de letramento crítico.

The interest in offshore wind farm markets has recently turned to the use of the strong wind power that can be found in deep-sea marine areas with the use of innovative technology in floating wind farms. This activity attracts the interest of economic actors globally, with prevention still necessary to avoid potential conflicts with other maritime activities and protect sensitive local marine ecosystems. The main research interest of this study focuses on the role that the particular characteristics of the local legal framework can have on the spatial planning of activities. The steps taken in this gradual approach include current spatial planning practice, case law and the country’s experience in related projects. Concluding, an example of the possible spatial planning of FWFs, based on the current tools available in the country’s spatial planning system, is provided.
Spatial point pattern analysis of urban retail stores: the case of twelve large- and medium-sized Greek cities

The retailers’ profitability and the consumers’ satisfaction depend on finding the optimal location for a retail store. When considering the stores’ spatial distribution, business potential can be understood and a squandering planning of resources can be avoided. In this paper we identify the spatial patterns of retail stores located in the traditional commercial centers of twelve large -and medium-sized Greek cities, aiming to explain why such patterns exist. The type of retail activities was determined using the image of the ground-floor stores provided by the Google Street View (GSV) service and thus 7322 stores were recorded in a geodatabase as point features. The results reveal that the retail stores’ distribution has a clustered and random spatial pattern at least in one city, where the high population density and the increase in rental prices of premises for professional activities constitute the factors that form these spatial patterns respectively.

Because of climate change and overpopulation, the demand for water is increasing. Groundwater constitutes an alternative renewable source of aquifer, so the spatial distribution of ground water provides important information on its qualitative and quantitative status. This paper develops a methodology for delineating potential ground water zones using remotely sensed data and GIS. The developed methodology was based on the empirical index GPI (MGPI – Modified Groundwater Potential Index) and was applied to the eastern part of Lesvos Island, Greece. To evaluate the criteria used for the result, the Analytic Network Process (ANP) was applied to weight each parameter. The dataset used consists of satellite images derived from Sentinel 2 and Landsat 8, which were combined with vector and raster data, to create the necessary thematic layers. To validate the results, existing ground water zones from the Municipal Water Company of Lesvos were used.
MODERN MYTHS OF HISTORY OF PEDAGOGICS

The unique material returning us to the history of a question on possible primogenitors of the Russian State Pedagogical University, the long years, was a smithy of the best teacher's staff of the Russian empire and then the USSR is offered to attention of readers. Whether it is lawful to adhere only to one version of the occurrence of the pedagogical university? The reader can find some answers to an asked question in an offered material. And all of them, probably, have the right to existence. Scientific researchers are guided first of all by the facts (the facts, as speak, a stubborn thing). However, the facts powerless before politicians who interpret history randomly. Nevertheless, we insist that the history of pedagogical university, began in 1903 with the creation of Women's teacher training college.
Key words: history of pedagogy, Educational House, teacher's seminary, pedagogical college, pedagogical university.

Voting in this country is the most tedious job to be handled, involving all kinds of corrupted and illegal deeds. Elections in India are conducted exclusively using EVM’s developed over the past two decades by a group of government-owned companies. These devices, known in India as EVMs, have been adopted greatly for their simple design, ease of conduct, and robustness. However, recently they have also been marked prey following widespread reports of election irregularities. Despite this criticism, many details of the mechanism have never been publicly discussed, and they have not been subjected to a stringent, independent security evaluation. We conclude that in spite of the machines’ simplicity and software trusted computing base, they are vulnerable to indigenous attacks that can modify election results and violate the law of the election commission. Most of the attacks done are physical, by changing the electricals, but if the machine is connected real time to a cloud server and involves an independent screen which shows the confirmation of choice symbolically before placing the final vote, it can help in detecting problems and maintain the integrity of the system.

In present study, COVID-19 is a type of coronavirus disease belonging to the family Corona viridae. The disease is thought to originate from bats and was spread to people through an unknown medium in Wuhan, China. Ideally, the condition is spread by mouthful of air or close interaction with infected droplets that have an incubation period between two and fourteen days. Today, there are thousands of infections and deaths that have been caused by the disease. Moreover, the symptoms of the disease include fever, cough, sneezing, sore throat, difficulty breathing, and tiredness. Additionally, the diagnosis of the disease starts by gathering samples of the upper and lower respiratory tracts of the infected person. This paper provides in-depth information on COVID-19 as it discusses the disease epidemiology, transmission, clinical features, diagnosis, treatment and prevention.
