Involvement of child labour in aquaculture activities in Mymensingh district, Bangladesh
Authors: Ferdousi Khaleda , Faruk Md Ali Reza
Published: December 2016

A study was conducted to know the involvement of child labour in various aquaculture activities in two upazilas namely Trishal and Muktagacha in Mymensingh district. Data were collected during December 2013 to April 2014 from 35 aqua farms having 492 workers, among them 100 (20.33%) were identified as child labour. All the child workers were interviewed through structured questionnaire. Feed preparation, feeding, sorting and grading of fish and rearing of fry in ponds were the major activities where maximum child labours were found to involve. It was observed that the main cause of children to involve such activities was poverty and dropped out from school. Overall 71% child labour worked to support their family and 48% recruited according to their parents decision. About 55% child labour worked more than 60 hours per week and few (19%) of them got break during working hours. The child workers had very limited freedom in their working area and found to be abused mentally and physically to some extent by the farm owners. The children were also found associated with various hazardous works like contact with chemical, long time work in water logged area and lifting heavy weight. Generally, the farm owners recruited child labour in their farms as cheap worker and majority (77%) of the farm owners have no idea about the current laws of recruitment of child labour. More studies are needed to establish the extent of child labour in overall aquaculture sector of Bangladesh. It is also important to implement effectively the national minimum age legislation for aquaculture.Res. Agric., Livest. Fish.3(3): 433-442, December 2016
‘Cuts are not a viable option’: The British Board of Film Classification, Hate Crime and Censorship for Adults in the Digital Age
Authors: Kapka Alexandra
Published: December 2016

In March 2015 the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) refused to classify James Cullen Bressack's independent film, Hate Crime (2012). This was the Board's first explicit rejection of a film since 2011, and undermines their attempts to portray themselves as increasingly lenient, in favour of free choice for adults and open about their processes. This case is of particular interest as the film was to be distributed solely via an online video-on-demand platform. Hate Crime has the dubious honour of being the first film to be refused an eighteen certificate under revised regulations pertaining to the streamed Internet distribution of feature films in the UK. Furthermore, this case raises questions about genre boundaries, and about the definition and prioritisation of art cinema within UK institutions. This article engages with the BBFC's refusal to classify Hate Crime in the light of this particular distribution context. Focusing on media industry, genre and gender studies, the article explores whether or not the BBFC's decision can be justified and, further, what the consequences of this certification refusal might be in the current media landscape. It suggests that the BBFC's approach might be out of kilter with the digital world and in this case demonstrates a misunderstanding of genre conventions and an unequivocal bias in favour of art-house cinema.
SPATIALLY RESOLVED SPECTROSCOPY OF EUROPA’S LARGE-SCALE COMPOSITIONAL UNITS AT 3–4 μm WITH KECK NIRSPEC
Authors: Fischer P. D. , Brown M. E. , Trumbo S. K. , Hand K. P.
Published: December 2016

We present spatially resolved spectroscopic observations of Europa’s surface at 3–4 μm obtained with the near-infrared spectrograph and adaptive optics system on the Keck II telescope. These are the highest quality spatially resolved reflectance spectra of Europa’s surface at 3–4 μm. The observations spatially resolve Europa’s large-scale compositional units at a resolution of several hundred kilometers. The spectra show distinct features and geographic variations associated with known compositional units; in particular, large-scale leading hemisphere chaos shows a characteristic longward shift in peak reflectance near 3.7 μm compared to icy regions. These observations complement previous spectra of large-scale chaos, and can aid efforts to identify the endogenous non-ice species.
IS THE LINE-LIKE OPTICAL AFTERGLOW SED OF GRB 050709 DUE TO A FLARE?
Authors: Liu Cong , Jin Zhi-Ping , Wei Da-Ming
Published: December 2016

Recently, Jin et al. reanalyzed the optical observation data of GRB 050709 and reported a line-like spectral energy distribution (SED) component observed by the Very Large Telescope at t ∼ 2.5 days after the trigger of the burst, which had been interpreted as a broadened line signal arising from a macronova dominated by an iron group. In this work, we show that an optical flare origin of such a peculiar optical SED is still possible. Interestingly, even in such a model, an “unusual” origin of the late-time long-lasting Hubble Space Telescope F814W-band emission is still needed and a macronova/kilonova is the natural interpretation.
NEUTRON STAR MASS–RADIUS CONSTRAINTS USING EVOLUTIONARY OPTIMIZATION
Authors: Stevens A. L. , Fiege J. D. , Leahy D. A. , Morsink S. M.
Published: December 2016

The equation of state of cold supra-nuclear-density matter, such as in neutron stars, is an open question in astrophysics. A promising method for constraining the neutron star equation of state is modeling pulse profiles of thermonuclear X-ray burst oscillations from hot spots on accreting neutron stars. The pulse profiles, constructed using spherical and oblate neutron star models, are comparable to what would be observed by a next-generation X-ray timing instrument like ASTROSAT, NICER, or a mission similar to LOFT. In this paper, we showcase the use of an evolutionary optimization algorithm to fit pulse profiles to determine the best-fit masses and radii. By fitting synthetic data, we assess how well the optimization algorithm can recover the input parameters. Multiple Poisson realizations of the synthetic pulse profiles, constructed with 1.6 million counts and no background, were fitted with the Ferret algorithm to analyze both statistical and degeneracy-related uncertainty and to explore how the goodness of fit depends on the input parameters. For the regions of parameter space sampled by our tests, the best-determined parameter is the projected velocity of the spot along the observer’s line of sight, with an accuracy of ≤3% compared to the true value and with ≤5% statistical uncertainty. The next best determined are the mass and radius; for a neutron star with a spin frequency of 600 Hz, the best-fit mass and radius are accurate to ≤5%, with respective uncertainties of ≤7% and ≤10%. The accuracy and precision depend on the observer inclination and spot colatitude, with values of ∼1% achievable in mass and radius if both the inclination and colatitude are ≳60°.
OBSERVABLE DEVIATIONS FROM HOMOGENEITY IN AN INHOMOGENEOUS UNIVERSE
Authors: Giblin, Jr John T. , Mertens James B. , Starkman Glenn D.
Published: December 2016

How does inhomogeneity affect our interpretation of cosmological observations? It has long been wondered to what extent the observable properties of an inhomogeneous universe differ from those of a corresponding Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) model, and how the inhomogeneities affect that correspondence. Here, we use numerical relativity to study the behavior of light beams traversing an inhomogeneous universe, and construct the resulting Hubble diagrams. The universe that emerges exhibits an average FLRW behavior, but inhomogeneous structures contribute to deviations in observables across the observer’s sky. We also investigate the relationship between angular diameter distance and the angular extent of a source, finding deviations that grow with source redshift. These departures from FLRW are important path-dependent effects, with implications for using real observables in an inhomogeneous universe such as our own.
INFERRED Hα FLUX AS A STAR FORMATION RATE INDICATOR AT z ∼ 4–5: IMPLICATIONS FOR DUST PROPERTIES, BURSTINESS, AND THE z = 4–8 STAR FORMATION RATE FUNCTIONS
Authors: Smit Renske , Bouwens Rychard J. , Labbé Ivo , Franx Marijn , Wilkins Stephen M. , Oesch Pascal A.
Published: December 2016

We derive Hα fluxes for a large spectroscopic and photometric-redshift-selected sample of sources over GOODS-North and South in the redshift range z = 3.8–5.0 with deep Hubble Space Telescope (HST), Spitzer/IRAC, and ground-based observations. The Hα flux is inferred based on the offset between the IRAC 3.6 μm flux and that predicted from the best-fit spectral energy distribution (SED). We demonstrate that the Hα flux correlates well with dust-corrected UV star formation rate (SFR) and therefore can serve as an independent SFR indicator. However, we also find a systematic offset in the

ratios for z ∼ 4–5 galaxies relative to local relations (assuming the same dust corrections for nebular regions and stellar light). We show that we can resolve the modest tension in the inferred SFRs by assuming bluer intrinsic UV slopes (increasing the dust correction), a rising star formation history, or assuming a low-metallicity stellar population with a hard ionizing spectrum (increasing the

ratio). Using Hα as an SFR indicator, we find a normalization of the star formation main sequence in good agreement with recent SED-based determinations and also derive the SFR functions at

. In addition, we assess for the first time the burstiness of star formation in

galaxies on <100 Myr timescales by comparing UV and Hα-based sSFRs; their one-to-one relationship argues against significantly bursty star formation histories.

A preocupação temática deste trabalho de pesquisa-ação educacional foi o desenvolvimento de atividades de estudo em ciência e tecnologia para dispositivos móveis. Nossas ações docentes têm sido vividas, na última década, tanto no âmbito da educação científico-tecnológica, como prioridade para a formação inicial de professores atuantes na educação básica brasileira, quanto na inserção das tecnologias da informação e comunicação com a mesma priorização formativa-profissional. Em ambos os contextos educacionais temos trabalhado com tecnologias educacionais em rede, em especial o ambiente virtual de ensino-aprendizagem, integrando as modalidades educacionais presencial e a distância. Nossas teorias-guia formam um pentágono teórico em torno da educação científico-tecnológica como prática da liberdade, movimento social do software livre, pesquisa-ação emancipatória, recurso educacional aberto e atividade de estudo. Guiados por elas construímos uma estratégia didático-metodológica para viabilizar o ensino-aprendizagem como prática para liberdade, mediada por tecnologias educacionais em rede, acessadas prioritariamente em dispositivos móveis. Nossos resultados de pesquisa-ação sinalizam inovações criativas, condutas colaborativas, produtivas e dialógico-problematizadoras dos sujeitos educacionais envolvidos, inclusive os autores deste trabalho. A conclusão essencial destas ações está centrada nos pares situações-limite e atos-limite, na perspectiva da educação científico-tecnológica como prática da liberdade mediada por tecnologias em rede, abertas e livres, no horizonte da conectividade e mobilidade.
Utilização do software scratch para a aprendizagem de lançamentos de projéteis e conceito de gravidade no ensino fundamental
Authors: Rodrigues dos Anjos Juliana , Dos Anjos Freitas Savana , Serrano de Andrade Neto Agostinho
Published: December 2016

A utilização de softwares e aplicativos no celular tem, cada vez mais, auxiliado em atividades didáticas, tendo em vista a rápida evolução dos recursos tecnológicos, e consequentemente o acesso aos mesmos. Neste trabalho, iremos mostrar como utilizar, de forma combinada, o software Scratch e o jogo Angry Birds Space para uma aprendizagem/ensino de lançamento de projéteis e sobre o conceito de gravidade e, como decorrência, introduzir programação no ensino fundamental. Como, no Brasil, o ensino de Física é predominantemente desenvolvido a partir do ensino médio, o aprendizado de Física no ensino fundamental, acaba ficando abandonado e este trabalho é uma tentativa de discutir atividades que podem ser realizados já neste nível de ensino. O trabalho foi fundamentado em um projeto do PIBID de Física da Universidade Luterana do Brasil.

Naître, grandir, vieillir avec un handicap
Authors: Weislo Emmanuel
Published: December 2016

La présente contribution vise à montrer l’actualité du cadre théorique de la liminalité pour rendre compte des ambivalences et des contradictions qui entourent la relation au handicap. Celles-ci trouvent une explication dans la coexistence de six « postures sociales » face au handicap, auxquelles correspondent six attitudes psychologiques. Ces postures et attitudes cohabitent et se concurrencent sans cesser d’être antagonistes et complémentaires. Cette situation explique et renforce le caractère liminal de la situation de handicap, ne pouvant trouver de résolution ultime dans aucune posture en particulier. Cette approche est ici confrontée à la montée en puissance d’un modèle inclusif, candidat au remplacement des autres postures dans le traitement social du handicap. Ce qui caractérise les transitions d’âge ou changement de lieu dans le cas particulier du handicap, c’est la remise en cause d’un équilibre spécifique entre ces postures et ces attitudes, à reconstruire ailleurs et autrement. La conscience de cet état de fait peut aider à penser un accompagnement des personnes et des dispositifs dans les remaniements psychiques et organisationnels à envisager pour permettre à la personne en situation de handicap de trouver une place adéquate. Un équilibre est à rechercher plus spécifiquement entre prise en compte de la spécificité et inscription dans l’ordinaire de la cité, entre un droit à la différence et un droit à l’indifférence.

La notion de « transparence psychique de la grossesse » de la psychanalyste pionnière Monique Bydlowski est devenue un référentiel théorique incontournable en périnatalité. Un examen critique en est ici envisagé. Plus spécifiquement, la systématisation de la synonymie entre « transparence psychique » et mobilisation créatrice est inquiétée au profit d’une exploration de sa potentialité a priori tant subjectivante que morbide et, de fait, toujours singulière et évolutive. In fine , « transparence psychique », âges de la vie et révélation d’un handicap en prénatal sont mis en perspective..
Naître, grandir, vieillir avec un handicap
Authors: Verdon Benoît
Published: December 2016

Parmi les problématiques psychiques susceptibles d’entraver ou de soutenir le traitement des conflits engagés par l’expérience du vieillissement et/ou du handicap, la question des identifications sexuelles se révèle nodale. En effet, outre la question identitaire, des assises narcissiques et de la différenciation moi/non moi, la question des identifications secondaires mobilisées par les différences des sexes et des générations se révèle être une dynamique majeure du rapport que toute personne peut entretenir avec son corps. Le vécu des limitations liées à l’expérience du handicap, et de celles, plus communes, liées à la traversée du vieillissement et de la vieillesse – qu’elles soient brutales ou insidieuses, aiguës ou chroniques –, entretient des rapports complexes avec les fantasmes de castration et de passivité. L’expérience de psychothérapies analytiques d’hommes qui, pour cause accidentelle traumatique (chute, accident de la voie publique), ou pour cause de fragilité somatique (accident vasculaire cérébral), se retrouvent en situation de handicap (avec des séquelles plus ou moins invalidantes) et vieillissent ainsi, permet de discerner combien la question des identifications féminines joue un rôle capital dans l’élaboration des conflits psychiques inhérents à cette rencontre entre vieillissement et handicap. L’auteur propose d’illustrer cette question clinique par l’exposé des grandes étapes de la psychothérapie d’un homme de 75 ans qui permet de saisir comment la rigidité puis la souplesse des identifications sexuelles, de la revendication de la puissance à la possibilité d’y renoncer au profit de l’acceptation d’une certaine passivité-jouissance, organisent, gênent ou élaborent le conflit psychique et, partant, les relations aux proches, aux enfants, aux femmes et aux hommes.
Le manager face au juge lors du redressement judiciaire d’entreprise : un risque de manipulation à travers l’expert-comptable judiciaire
Authors: Hamadi Mohamed Taieb , El Omari Sami , Khlif Wafa
Published: December 2016

L’article étudie la capacité du dirigeant enraciné à manipuler la décision du juge dans la procédure de redressement à travers l’avis de l’expert-comptable judiciaire. Premièrement, les qualifications des juges ne portent que peu sur le domaine de la gestion et de l’analyse financière des entreprises. Deuxièmement, l’information comptable et financière reflète une agrégation manipulable de la situation réelle de l’entreprise. Troisièmement, le dirigeant est le pourvoyeur principal de l’information sur laquelle l’expert-comptable judiciaire construit son rapport d’analyse de la situation de l’entreprise. L’étude d’un échantillon de 127 entreprises tunisiennes en redressement judiciaire confirme la dépendance du juge vis-à-vis de l’opinion de l’expert-comptable judiciaire. Les résultats mettent en question la réelle considération des problèmes structurels des entreprises dites en difficulté.
Identités de Marques et marqueurs d’identité. Vers une construction identitaire et sociale des individus par et dans la consommation ?
Authors: Batazzi Claudine , Parizot Anne
Published: December 2016

Cette communication se propose d’interroger le concept d’identité en relation avec la ou les marques commerciales. Comment une marque de nos jours se constitue-t-elle une identité ? Par quels moyens marketing et communicationnels, l’identité de la marque est-elle révélée ou affirmée ? Si l’identité des marques est une réalité, comment les marques concourent-elles à la construction identitaire et sociale des individus ? Après avoir défini les notions de marque et d’identité dans l’univers de la consommation, nous nous tournerons vers le syntagme identité de marque en relation, voire en opposition avec l’image de marque. Nous étudierons plus particulièrement les moyens, outils et stratégies employées par certaines marques pour se créer une identité. Storytelling, imaginaire, communication visuelle, design sonore mais aussi mythe et symbolique se mêlent à l’expérience sensible qui se décline en mode esthésique, esthétique et éthique. La marque sans la relation au client et la reconnaissance du consommateur n’est rien. Et du client au citoyen il n’y a qu’un pas. Si la marque se raconte et se met en scène, le client consommateur cherche ses repères, communique, échange sur les réseaux sociaux. La marque peut-elle alors être considérée comme un des leviers de la construction identitaire et/ou sociale de l’individu ? Alors qu’actuellement des « malaises » envahissent la société provoquant crises identitaires et « crispations identitaires », de nouveaux repères sont nécessaires et peuvent apparaître comme des formes de quêtes identitaires. Le client-citoyen cherche, par l’intermédiaire de ses choix en matière de consommation, à exprimer son individualité, son identité face à la globalisation ou à la mondialisation qui peut tendre, du moins en apparence, à aplanir les différences. Mais par-delà la marque, c’est aussi la performativité des symboles qu’elle représente, qui entre en jeu. C’est cette double construction identitaire que nous voudrions analyser en éclairant les interactions entre marque et consommateur dans l’univers marchand à la lueur des Sciences de l’Information et de la Communication.

Résumé Au travers de la notion d’acceptabilité sociale le présent article entend s’interroger sur les éléments qui sont de nature à conforter la « légitimité » de la décision rendue par les juridictions administratives, et à la rendre sinon acceptée, au moins acceptable, par les acteurs considérés.
Gestion des dossiers et qualite de la justice administrative
Authors: Boyer-Capelle Caroline
Published: December 2016

Résumé Au sein d’une juridiction administrative, la gestion des dossiers suppose la détermination et la mise en œuvre de nombreuses mesures permettant leur traitement. Chacune de ces mesures, attachées à la vie intérieure du service, tend à rationaliser la « chaîne de montage » juridictionnelle, de l’enregistrement d’une affaire à son jugement, et concourt, in fine , à la décision de justice. Résultant de préconisations du Conseil d’Etat ou d’initiatives propres à chaque juridiction, ces mesures renvoient à une approche managériale du fonctionnement de la justice administrative. En cela, elles influent sur la qualité de cette dernière. Il s’agit de leviers concrets de cet impératif, leur définition faisant l’objet d’arbitrages précis et concertés entre les différents acteurs chargés de les appliquer.
Qualité et évaluation des magistrats de l’ordre administratif
Authors: Berthier Laurent
Published: December 2016

Résumé L’évaluation individuelle des magistrats administratifs sert avant tout leur carrière. En mesurant principalement leur performance, l’idée est qu’ils soient récompensés de leurs efforts par un avancement, voire une prime, la logique indemnitaire suivant de près celle utilisée par le chef de juridiction pour conduire l’entretien d’évaluation. Partant, c’est une vision tronquée de la qualité qui est proposée, car réduite à la simple mesure du professionnalisme du magistrat. L’article se propose alors de dépasser cette dimension en inscrivant le système d’évaluation individuelle des magistrats dans une perspective plus globale d’amélioration de la qualité d’ensemble de la justice administrative.
Qualité formelle et qualité substantielle des décisions de justice administrative
Authors: Deffigier Clotilde
Published: December 2016

Résumé Se soucier de la qualité de la décision de justice conduit à s’interroger sur la manière dont elle est rendue, dont elle peut être compréhensible ou non pour le justiciable. Cette recherche impose de travailler à la qualité rédactionnelle de la décision rendue par la juridiction administrative ; celle-ci doit être claire et intelligible, sans pour autant être trop standardisée. La qualité substantielle mérite aussi d’être analysée : la décision doit être motivée, la solution expliquée, les références explicites. Les 0juges doivent néanmoins travailler avec un matériau imparfait, les textes n’étant pas toujours précis.
« Veuillez patienter » : regard dubitatif sur la qualité et la célérité de la justice administrative
Authors: Mallol Francis
Published: December 2016

Résumé La culture et les pratiques de l’urgence se développent au sein des juridictions administratives depuis les années 1990. La célérité est devenue l’une des garanties de la qualité des services rendus aux justiciables surtout dans les procédures concernant les étrangers et les référés. Mais ce progrès des techniques processuelles a aussi un coût, notamment par l’effet d’éviction que les procédures d’urgence entraînent sur les autres contentieux. La jurisprudence a tenté de maîtriser le recours démesuré des parties aux procédures accélérées. Mais, on atteint les limites de l’exercice. Et le risque de déstabilisation de l’ordre de juridiction administratif appelle désormais une réponse renouvelée du politique.
L’odeur de l’argent. Dons et legs dans le financement de l’Université de Paris (1885-années 1930)
Authors: Durand Antonin
Published: December 2016

La part du mécénat dans le financement des universités françaises a toujours été notoirement inférieure à celle de ses homologues anglo-saxonnes et germaniques. Cet article s’efforce pourtant de réévaluer son importance pour l’Université de Paris au début du XX e siècle, sous l’impulsion de recteurs volontaristes comme Louis Liard. Il propose également un portrait de groupe des personnes privées ou morales qui donnent ou lèguent tout ou partie de leur fortune pour faire avancer la recherche, en interrogeant leurs motivations qui mêlent souvent inspiration religieuse, engagement républicain, recherche de statut social et désir d’influence. L’article met surtout en lumière les difficiles négociations entre donateurs et donataires sur l’usage fait de leurs libéralités : alors que les premiers entendent souvent laisser une trace dans l’histoire de l’université et parfois influer sur le contenu des recherches qui s’y pratiquent, les seconds oscillent entre le désir d’attirer les financements et une farouche volonté de se préserver de toute ingérence dans leurs travaux.
Postuler un emploi auprès du commissariat général aux Questions juives (1941-1944). Antisémitisme d’État et crise de recrutement dans la fonction publique des années noires
Authors: Joly Laurent
Published: December 2016

Administration d’exception créée par Vichy en mars 1941, le commissariat général aux Questions juives (CGQJ) est à la fois une institution politique et un organisme technique, chargé d’administrer la politique de spoliation sur l’ensemble du territoire. Jusqu’à la Libération, environ 2500 individus ont été salariés par le CGQJ. À quelles formes rhétoriques recourt-on lorsque l’on postule auprès d’une telle administration, dont la mission est connotée de manière aussi évidente ? Dans quelle mesure une telle démarche obéit-elle à un choix motivé ? L’examen des 2243 dossiers de carrière et de 288 lettres de candidature conservées, complété par des entretiens avec huit anciens agents, permet d’analyser au plus près les diverses modalités d’entrée au CGQJ. Dans un premier temps, le commissariat bénéficie d’un contexte et d’une latitude d’action budgétaire relativement favorables lui permettant de sélectionner au mieux son personnel, dont une partie importante est recrutée dans des réseaux de « confiance ». Mais durant les deux dernières années de l’occupation, le CGQJ subit une crise de recrutement généralisée : ne postulent et ne sont recrutés que ceux, aiguillés par des bureaux de placement, qui n’ont pas d’autre choix. Cette crise touche l’ensemble des services de l’administration, en particulier les organes répressifs, et la période de Vichy se caractérise par la coexistence entre un gonflement des effectifs de la fonction publique et une profonde crise de recrutement, qui se traduit mécaniquement par une baisse de la valeur des personnels embauchés.
Application of the TDABC model in the logistics process using different capacity cost rates
Authors: Afonso Paulo , Santana Alex
Published: December 2016

Purpose: The understanding of logistics process in terms of costs and profitability is a complex task and there is a need of more research and applied work on these issues. In this research project, the concepts underlying Time-Driven Activity Based Costing (TDABC) have been used in the context of logistics costs.Design/methodology/approach: A Distribution Centre of wood and carpentry related materials has been studied. A multidisciplinary team has been composed to support the project including the researchers and three employees of the company responsible for accounting, logistics and warehousing. The design and implementation of the costing model asked for a deep understanding of the different tasks and processes that should be considered. Accordingly, a TDABC model for the logistics function was developed.Findings: The cost model presented here is supported on a series of time equations designed for the logistics function which allow the analysis and discussion of costs and profitability of different cost objects namely, products, clients, distribution channels, processes and activities. The cost of unused capacity and the effectiveness of logistics processes are also highlighted in this model.Research limitations/implications: In a case study, results and implications cannot be directly or immediately generalized. Nevertheless, the proposed time equations and cost model can be easily adapted to explain other types of logistics functions and it gives the foundations or other TDABC models with more than one capacity cost rate.Practical implications: The TDABC model developed in this case study can be used in similar cases and as a basis for the analysis of logistics costs in other logistics processes. Furthermore, managers can rely on the proposed approach to analyze products’ profitability and logistics cost structure. Originality/value: In this case, different capacity cost rates were computed in order to reflect appropriately the logistics function which was presented in two different processes: internal logistics and distribution. These processes have specific resources allocated and should be measured differently. This is in line with Kaplan and Anderson (2004, 2007) who have suggested a more complex TDABC model with more than one capacity cost rate for these situations.
Quem são? Para onde vão?: o segmento aéreo regional no Brasil
Authors: Pereira  Ana Paula Camilo
Published: December 2016

Este artigo aborda o setor aéreo brasileiro com destaque para o segmento regional. Nesse âmbito, o objetivo é revelar a importância do segmento aéreo regional brasileiro em relação a densificação de rotas no Brasil e a atuação das companhias aéreas tanto em termos de escala territorial como de estratégia empresarial. Destaca-se nessa abordagem, como a hierarquia urbana está justaposta à hierarquia aeroportuária, o que conduz a compreender que as estratégias de cooperação são processadas como uma necessidade empresarial de sobrevivência das companhias aéreas regionais que se subordinam a atuação territorial das empresas líderes de mercado aéreo brasileiro. Esse interesse se dá, principalmente, como forma de analisar a representatividade desse segmento na relação estratégica das empresas aéreas de diferentes portes e atuação territorial. Em síntese, a subserviência do segmento aéreo regional revela a contraditória lógica de mercado entre as companhias do setor aéreo brasileiro.

Les politiques d’appui à l’agriculture familiale au Brésil et au Maroc : quelques éléments de comparaison
Authors: Faysse Nicolas , Bonnal Philippe , Sabourin Eric
Published: December 2016

No Brasil como no Marrocos, o setor agropecuário é marcado por grandes heterogeneidades em termos de tamanho das unidades, níveis de equipamento, capital e tecnologias produtivas. O artigo compara os processos das políticas de apoio à agricultura familiar nesses dois países, além das suas grandes diferenças. As políticas agrícolas brasileiras propõem desde uns 20 anos um apoio específico às unidades familiares, incluindo a constituição de um ministério dedicado a essa categoria. Diversos dispositivos de apoio aos agricultores familiares foram implementados, em particular um plano de reforma fundiária e de apoio aos projetos de reforma agraria, mecanismos de crédito subsidiado e enfoques integrados do desenvolvimento das áreas marginalizadas. No Marrocos, a principal política atual, o Plano Marrocos Verde, esta fundada em dois pilares: um orientado para as produções intensivas e o outro para as áreas com baixo potencial agropecuário. As políticas públicas brasileiras e marroquinas reconhecem a dualidade do mundo agrícola., mas essa dualidade é definida por área ou por zona no Marrocos, quanto está baseada nas características explicitas das unidades familiares no Brasil. Nos dois países, o coração das politicas para a agricultura familiar tem a ver com a ajuda ao investimento. Além desse coração comum, as políticas no Marrocos se focalizam sobre a integração das pequenas unidades as grandes cadeias agropecuárias. Ademais de esse processo inicial no Brasil, a partir de 2003, enfoques mais pluridimensionais e diversificados foram implantados para apoiar o desenvolvimento dos territórios onde as unidades familiares e as comunidades tradicionais são as mais presentes.
Política de regularização fundiária em Rondônia: limitações do programa terra legal e expectativas socioterritoriais
Authors: Ribeiro Alyson Fernando Alves , Silva Ricardo Gilson da Costa , Santos Josefa de Lisboa
Published: December 2016

O Programa Terra Legal Amazônia busca resolver o problema da segurança jurídica das terras federais, regularizando áreas da União com até 15 módulos fiscais ocupados por posseiros nos nove estados da Amazônia Legal. O presente texto analisa o desenvolvimento do programa na região amazônica, com especial atenção à sua execução no estado de Rondônia, no período de 2009 a 2014. Os resultados da regularização das posses, através da emissão dos títulos de domínio, indicam limitações estruturais na gestão do programa que impacta nas metas propostas e demonstra a fragilidade de uma das principais políticas públicas que atingem parcelas consideráveis das propriedades rurais rondoniense. Conclui-se que a insegurança jurídica das propriedades rurais, principalmente de produtores familiares, tende a adiar a resolução do caos fundiário como problema estruturante no espaço agrário de Rondônia.

O presente estudo tem por objetivo avaliar a perda de solo por erosão hídrica da bacia do rio Mutum-Paraná em Rondônia, de modo a contribuir para o melhor planejamento e gerenciamento da área, uma vez que a referida bacia encontra-se sob influência direta dos empreendimentos hidrelétricos do alto rio Madeira (RO). Possui como atividades econômicas básicas a agricultura de subsistência e a pecuária extensiva. Para tanto, foi utilizado o método de análise da paisagem desenvolvido por George Bertrand em 1972, que ao analisar a paisagem, congregou vários elementos físicos, além de outras variáveis, tais como: o território e o geossistema. E a fim de quantificar o geossistema e mensurar a erosão hídrica da bacia utilizou-se a Equação Universal de Perda de Solo Revisada – EUPSR, a partir da qual se estimou a perda anual de solo. Sua vantagem consiste no fato de ser uma modelagem completa que, ao se utilizar de parâmetros estatísticos e equações matemáticas, tende a garantir boa precisão nos resultados. Os valores de perda de Solo por Erosão Hídrica calculados para a referida bacia foram de 0,937 ton/ha.ano, sendo dez vezes menor que o potencial natural de perda de solo, o que indicou que o uso da terra observado no estudo é inadequado ao sistema natural da bacia, cuja tendência futura projetada indica forte cenário de instabilidade e degradação ambiental.
A pluviosidade na Amazônia meridional: variabilidade e teleconexões extra-regionais
Authors: Franca Rafael Rodrigues da , Mendonça Francisco de Assis
Published: December 2016

A Região Amazônica é uma das mais extensas áreas quentes e úmidas do Planeta, com índices pluviométricos em torno dos 2300 mm/ano, em média, e de até 5000 mm/ano em seu setor ocidental. A variabilidade da pluviosidade na região recebe influencia direta dos oceanos Atlântico e Pacífico, a exemplo do que ocorreu nos anos de 2005 e 2010, quando secas tiveram sua gênese relacionada ao aquecimento das águas superficiais do Atlântico Tropical Norte. O recorte espacial de estudo apresentado neste texto encontra-se no sul da Amazônia, no qual apresenta-se uma analise da pluviosidade (variabilidade temporal e espacial) a partir de suas determinantes locais e de suas conexões extra-regionais (índices oceânicos). Foram tratados (estatística descritiva) dados provenientes de 41 estações meteorológicas distribuídas pela área de estudo concernentes ao período 1981-2011. Os resultados confirmam o conhecimento prévio sobre o clima dessa região da Amazônia, onde a sazonalidade pluvial é uma característica marcante; eles mostram que a pluviosidade na Amazônia Meridional é largamente influenciada por características vigentes na região tropical do Oceano Atlântico, de onde provém importante parcela da umidade presente na região. Essas características produzem repercussões importantes sobre a fauna, a flora, os rios e as populações ribeirinhas e urbanas da área.
Ritual offerings to ovoos among nomadic Halh herders of west-central Mongolia
Authors: Lindskog Benedikte V.
Published: December 2016

Après l’effondrement du communisme en 1990, la Mongolie a connu un renouveau important de la religion et des pratiques religieuses. Cet article se focalise sur les « éditions révisées » du culte local de ovoo-offrandes rituelles aux divinités locales - chez les éleveurs nomades dans la province centrale Arhangai. En mettant l’accent sur le rituel et les processus sociaux impliqués dans le culte de ovoo, l’article explore les corrélations entre la collectivité, les compréhensions de la « nature » (baigal’) et les notions d’appartenance.
Validation and application of a measurement scale on environmental practices for high school teachers in Patos, Paraíba
Authors: Silva Edevaldo , Soares Delyane Lima , Olveira Habyhabanne Maia , Vieira Humarah Danielle Guedes
Published: December 2016

The objective was to create, validate and apply a measurement scale on environmental practices for teachers of various educational areas (exact sciences, humanities, natural sciences and Portuguese), from six public high schools in the city of Patos, Paraíba. To that end, it was created a questionnaire related to the topic, consisting of 24 items in the Likert scale model, being statistically validated as its consistency and reliability by factor analysis and by the α-Cronbach’s test. The assessed measurement scale has been validated (n = 34) with the exclusion of five items, getting excellent α-Cronbach’s coefficient (0.95). In the application of the questionnaire (n = 68), most teachers had social and environmental practices little consistent with environmentally sustainable practices. The results suggest that the high school teachers of the surveyed public schools have inadequate knowledge and/or practices for teaching Environmental Education, revealing that, probably, the students are not receiving basic environmental knowledge for their critical and reflective thinking on the various environmental problems.

Quaternary sediment maps of the Gulf of St. Lawrence
Authors: Josenhans H , Zevenhuizen J
Published: December 2016

This open file report describes the results of high resolution geophysical and geological surveys of the Gulf of St. Lawrence (enclosure 2) conducted in 1989 (Baffin 89-008, Dawson 89-007) and 1990 (Hudson 90-028, 90-031 ). Data collected as early as 1969 have
also been incorporated. Regional information on the surficial and bedrock geology of the entire Gulf was obtained. This report illustrates major features of the surficial sediments and geomorphology of the region with 42 stratigraphic sections, 21 figures and 15 maps. A comparison of the acoustic
character of the seismic reflection profiles from the Gulf of St. Lawrence shows many similarities to other well studied areas off the east coast of Canada and the St. Lawrence Estuary. Based on these similarities we tentatively interpret the presence of till(s), glaciomarine sediments and
postglacial muds and sands. The architecture of the Quaternary deposits is illustrated by the seismic sections and isopach map panels. This three dimensional data set is used to interpret the glacial and postglacial depositional processes in the region. This report is primarily intended to provide a
stratigraphic framework for ongoing multidisciplinary studies of the glacial and post glacial history of the area.
Experiences of registered nurses with regard to accessing health information at the point-of-care via mobile computing devices
Authors: Ricks Esmeralda , Benjamin Valencia , Williams Margaret
Published: December 2016

Background: The volume of health information necessary to provide competent health care today has become overwhelming. Mobile computing devices are fast becoming an essential clinical tool for accessing health information at the point-of-care of patients.Objectives: This study explored and described how registered nurses experienced accessing information at the point-of-care via mobile computing devices (MCDs).Method: A qualitative, exploratory, descriptive and contextual design was used. Ten in–depth interviews were conducted with purposively sampled registered nurses employed by a state hospital in the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality (NMBM). Interviews were recorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed using Tesch’s data analysis technique. Ethical principles were adhered to throughout the study. Guba’s model of trustworthiness was used to confirm integrity of the study.Results: Four themes emerged which revealed that the registered nurses benefited from the training they received by enabling them to develop, and improve, their computer literacy levels. Emphasis was placed on the benefits that the accessed information had for educational purposes for patients and the public, for colleagues and students. Furthermore the ability to access information at the point-of-care was considered by registered nurses as valuable to improve patient care because of the wide range of accurate and readily accessible information available via the mobile computing device.Conclusion: The registered nurses in this study felt that being able to access information at the point-of-care increased their confidence and facilitated the provision of quality care because it assisted them in being accurate and sure of what they were doing.
The configural approach to organisational commitment: An application in Ghana
Authors: Akoto Edward O. , Akoto Eunice V.
Published: December 2016

Orientation: An emerging stream of research employs a configural or profile approach to the study of organisational commitment, by focusing on and placing individuals at the centre of data analysis. This approach signals the importance of taking a holistic view of individuals’commitment mind-set, unlike the variable-centred approach.Research purpose: To test the theory on profiles of commitment in an African context (Ghana).Motivation for the study: Although the three-component model of organisational commitment has been extended to several regions of Africa, there is a paucity of research on profiles of commitment on the continent.Research approach, design and method: Cross-sectional data from two studies, with samples of 187 and 218, were analysed using k-means clusters. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was then used to test the differences amongst profiles in their association with contextual variables, such as pay satisfaction, job security, strike propensity and two demographic factors.Main findings: In the k-means cluster analysis, a six-cluster solution emerged in both studies;the profiles include the highly committed and the uncommitted groups, as well as the profiles based on normative commitment and continuance commitment. Overall, the MANOVA post hoc outcome shows that the highly committed group reports higher mean scores on the positive outcome variables (e.g. job security) than the uncommitted group. Conversely, the uncommitted group scored relatively higher on the negative organisational outcome (propensity to strike). Other mean differences were found in the respective studies on pay satisfaction, collectivism and the demographic factors.Practical/managerial implications: Employing the configural approach to the study of commitment in this region should increase our understanding of the patterns of attachment and their influence on behaviour. Different patterns of attachment exist within the organisation that may be beneficial or detrimental to behaviour on the job. It is, therefore, important for managers to identify these patterns and target organisational policy and resources appropriately.Contribution/value-add: This study applies the concept of commitment profiles to an untested region: an African context. It, therefore, adds to the literature on the generalisability of the typology of commitment profiles.
A structure theorem for shape functions defined on submanifolds
Authors: Sturm Kevin
Published: December 2016

In this paper, we study shape functions depending on closed submanifolds. We prove a new structure theorem that establishes the general structure of the shape derivative for this type of shape function. As a special case we obtain the classical Hadamard–Zolésio structure theorem, but also the structure theorem for cracked sets can be recast into our framework. As an application we investigate several unconstrained shape functions arising from differential geometry and fracture mechanics.
