Deplorable Condition of Women and Patriarchal Domination in Bapsi Sidhwa’s The Pakistani Bride
Authors: K. Anukala
Published: June 2020

Parsi writers have contributed a lot to Indian English Literature. The Indian Parsi novelists express their feelings in the form of art. The novelists reflect the psychological dilemma of the minority community and its identity crisis through their works. Being a Parsi writer, Bapsi Sidhwa sees a kind of mental migration when she hybrids from her native land, and pours her feelings and thoughts in to her novels. She is known for her exploration of women’s inner psyche who aspire to live in modernity, inept to break traditional quality intrinsic in them. Most of her writings contain a pinch of migration and male dominance taste when one chews them. The expatriate writers face multi-cultural situation which merges with their personal anguish due to prejudice. They project the cultural confusion and confrontation of a multi-racial society. The quest for identity, aspiration for belongingness and love for native land is found as a part of non-erasable conscious in all expatriate writers. This paper reveals the socio-cultural background and the authoritative patriarchal Pakistani society in the novel The Pakistani Bride The novel portrays how the institution of marriage and patriarchy deplores and represses an orphaned girl’s self-identity. It also pinpoints the problems of a little girl Zaitoon as an alien in an alien land or culture. It enforces deportation as a pathway to sculpt for belongingness of her ‘self’. At the end, Zaitoon succeeds by rejecting the alien culture and tradition.

Decentralization of Services Through Three Tiers in Wireless Body Area Networks
Authors: Lakhal Said , Guennoun Zouhair
Published: June 2020

The Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) contains a set of sensors, placed in the patient’s environment, to detect the vital signs and transmit the results towards the relevant services that interact in urgent cases. The present work exposes a functional WBAN architecture formed by three layers: closest, intermediate and farthest. The closest layer senses the chemical and biological signs. If the case is normal, or it can be locally regulated, the service stops there; else the intermediate service, namely the local hospital, is consulted to make treatments. Therefore, the patient will be transported into the hospital for examinations. If this condition is established the processus stopped there, otherwise, the request of help from an outside hospital becomes necessary. This request passes through a manager that supervises a network of hospitals and looks for a free place to welcome the patient. After the localization of a hospital, its coordinates will be forwarded into the customer hospital, for transporting the patient. The simulation results show that this design increases the patient’s probability of healing and maximizes the use of the available resources, relative to the centralization of services at a single layer or at two layers.

Authors: Othman Ainon Nisa , Ismail Hazrul Nizam , Khalid Nafisah , Abdul Halim, Maisarah , Mohamad Saraf Noorain
Published: June 2020

Peat fire is a geological disaster that causes damages to nature, human activities and environment. It is a geological phenomenon that involves a wide range of forest fire, vegetation burnt surface and smouldering fire underground. Besides that, there are other contributing factors affecting the peat fire and can lead to the forest fire disaster. In this study, GIS and MCDM Technique were used as a tool to generate the prediction of peat fire potential area map at Kuala Langat, Selangor. All the input is then being analyse in ArcGIS software. Many criteria may contribute to the peat forest fire incident such as land use, temperature, pH value, and soil type criteria. The main benefit for analysing the potential area is the possibility to prevent and predict peat fire occurrences in future other than as a precaution step to face the problems.

Travel Behaviour of the Elderly in Planned and Unplanned Communities of Lagos Metropolis, Nigeria
Authors: Olaseni Abubakar , Alade Wale
Published: June 2020

Interests in the study of travel behaviour of the elderly have been growing in the last two decades and many of the works done are concentrated in the global north. Evidence from literature reveals that most of these studies focus more on the impact of individual and household socioeconomic attributes, urban form, travel attributes, and policy factors on the travel behaviour of the elderly, but less on the influence of neighbourhood planning. This paper examined the travel behaviour of old people in Festac town (planned) and Ketu (unplanned) community of Lagos metropolis, southwest Nigeria with a view to determining the influence of neighbourhood planning on travel pattern. The two neighbourhoods were carefully and purposively selected for collection of socio-economic and travel data through structured questionnaire that was administered on 155 randomly selected elderly respondents. The study revealed significant differences and some similarities in respondents’ socio-economic and travel characteristics. Respondents from the planned community have a higher daily mean trip rate and mean trip time than those in unplanned community. Residents of planned community also undertake higher work and social trips and rely on automobile more than those in unplanned community. Apart from the fact that the majority of respondents travel more during the off-peak period, frequent road congestion was reported as the top mobility challenge among respondents in the two neighbourhoods. The study concluded that neighbourhood planning affects travel behaviour and recommended a walkable neighbourhood concept and promotion of elderly friendly public transport system for the study area.

El averroísmo contemporáneo. Intelecto, imaginación y la cuestión del humano
Authors: Amar Díaz Mauricio Guillermo
Published: June 2020

El artículo indaga en la reemergencia de ciertos principios que la Edad Media vinculó al pensamiento de Averroes en pensadores contemporáneos como Giorgio Agamben, Roberto Esposito, Emanuele Coccia y Jean Baptiste Brenet. La eternidad del mundo y la separación del itnelecto vuelven a aparecer como sustento de una filosofía capaz de poner en tela de juicio ideas fundamentales de la modernidad como la de sujeto o persona, sin por ello entramparse en el nihilismo.

Authors: Ungureanu Dan Nicolae , Stoian Elena Valentina , Toma Florin , Anculescu Daniel , Colţa Alexandru Gabriel , Angelescu Nicolae , Bratu Vasile
Published: June 2020

Refractory concretes with the usual cement content (about 20%) present, besides their well-known advantages, several important disadvantages which make such concretes unfit for certain applications. The relatively high CaO content in concretes, the presence of even small amounts of SiO2 and Fe2O3 in cement reduce in the first place the concretes refractoriness; if their relatively high porosity is also taken into account, the concretes behavior is further damaged in regard to the structural and thermal-chemical stability. especially at their high operating temperatures. This work is an attempt to correct the shortcomings shown by reducing the cement dosage and using appropriate admixtures in the technological process of concrete making.
Ultimul Blaga
Authors: Olteanu Alexandra
Published: June 2020

This paper aims to reveal Lucian Blaga’s ethical status and literary existence in a tormented period generated by the dawn of the new communist social transformations. The fictional perspective, as reflected in the autobiographical novel Luntrea lui Caron, is enriched by the confessions of the contemporaries. The struggle between principles, values and political censorship imposed by the historical context is portrayed thoroughly by the above mentioned sources. The poet is not the defeated intellectual that would be the perfect victim of totalitarianism. He remains a symbol of a consciousness that can not be perverted. Blaga will not betray his philosophical system nor his moral beliefs.
Tatăl Ei, Lucian Blaga. Reconstituiri Biografice
Authors: Diaconița Alexandra Ana-Maria
Published: June 2020

The volume Tatăl meu, Lucian Blaga has a double meaning: first of all, Dorli Blaga intends to shape the writer's portrait and, above all, the man Lucian Blaga himself, for whom the act of creation becomes a refuge. Secondly, it creates an autobiographical work, appealing to her own memories and exposing her own opinion regarding the writers and political unions of the 20th century. This volume clearly shows the daughter's duty to defend her father's name. This essay Tatăl ei, Lucian Blaga. Reconstituiri biografice presents the impediments ecountered by Lucian Blaga in his literary and political career, but also his image in the intimate position as a parent and husband. The sacrifices accomplished on behalf of his family, the fear of having his work plagiarised and the strength to bear the injustices of the Romanian state are just some details from Lucian Blaga's life, presented by his daughter or revealed by the writer himself in his correspondence.
Geocriticism: for an interpretation of the Romanian novel about the Revolution of 1989
Authors: Susarenco Teodora
Published: June 2020

The main aim of this paper is to present a recent approach to literary text- the geocritical method- both from a descriptive and a polemic point of view, and, at the same time, to determine the applicability of this method and the concepts issued by Betrand Westphal on the Romanian novel describing Bucharest during the Revolution of 1989. Following the routes presented in the novels of two contemporary authors, Mircea Cărtărescu and Bogdan Suceava, I will try to propose a new method of topos analysis in the novel, which could re-evaluate the representation of the spaces caught at the boundary between reality and fiction (in the future).

Overlapped Bem-Fem and Some Schwarz Iterations
Authors: Celorrio Ricardo , Dominguez Victor , Sayas Francisco-Javier
Published: June 2020

In this work we consider the numerical solution of the Laplace's equation
in a domain with holes by means of the overlapping of finite and boundary elements.
The essence of the method is the consideration of the finite element solution of the
Laplace's equation in the domain without holes and the exterior single{layer solution
on the unbounded domain around these holes. This solution can be viewed as a limit of
a discretized interior{exterior Schwarz-type iteration. A convergence analysis of both
the iteration and the discrete solution is carried out, taking full generality in the BEM
scheme. Some numerical experiments are also given.

Simulations of the Influence of the Heat Flux at the Shaft Surface of the Conical Slide Bearing on Its Hydrodynamic Lubrication and Operating Parameters
Authors: Czaban Adam , Miszczak Andrzej
Published: June 2020

The aim of this work is to investigate, how in the adopted model of hydrodynamic lubrication of a conical slide bearing, the change of the heat flux value at the bearing shaft, affects bearing operating parameters. In this research, the authors use, the known from the literature, Reynolds type equation, describing the stationary hydrodynamic lubrication process of a conical slide bearing. The analytical, solutions, that determine the components of the lubricating oil velocity vector and the equation (analytical solution of energy equation) determining the three-dimensional temperature distribution in the lubrication gap, was also adopted from previous works. In order to obtain numerical solutions, the Newton’s method was used, and the derivatives in the Reynolds type equation were approximated by the finite differences. An application of the method of subsequent approximations allowed considering the influence of temperature, pressure and shearing rate on the viscosity of lubricating oil. The considerations were performed by adopting the Reynolds condition of the hydrodynamic oil film. It was tested, how the assumed value of the heat flux on the bearing shaft surface affects the values of the obtained operating parameters, i.e. the transverse and longitudinal component of the load carrying capacity, friction force and coefficient of friction.
Validation of Microscopy Measured Porosity in Carbon Fibbers Composites
Authors: Jędral Arnold , Bona Anna
Published: June 2020

One of the most common defects in carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP) is porosity. Too much of those defects could be serious problems to mechanical properties, which directly take effect on elements safety, like aircrafts. Therefore, the evaluation of porosity is very important test. Microscopic observations are widely used as a quality instrument in materials and constructions inspections. Cross section image of a material is easy to prepare and analyse. Porosity of a carbon fibre reinforced plastic can be clearly spot in such kind of images. Study shows that in the most cases porosity appear between layers of fibres, rather between fibres. Unfortunately, image from microscope is only 2D picture from a small representative region. Because of that, comparison of 2D image to a real porosity distribution in all volume of a material is very difficult. To verify 2D microscopic observation method is necessary to perform another kind of tests. In this article, authors focused on non-destructive (NDT) and destructive testing methods. 2D porosity images from light microscope were compared with three different testing methods: ultrasonic test (UT), computed tomography (CT) test and constituent content of composite materials standard test method according to ASTM D3171 – 15, procedure B. Porosity results obtained from dissolution of resin from the carbon-epoxy resin sample.
Using Sorbents for Oil Spill Clean-Up in Ports and Coastal Areas
Authors: Kończewicz Włodzimierz , Polasz Sylwia , Rogowska Kinga
Published: June 2020

Petroleum substances are a mixture of many hydrocarbons of various structures; some of them are toxic for marine organisms. In case of pollution of the aquatic environment, these compounds may enter seawater organisms and adversely affect gas exchange and inhibit photosynthesis. Therefore, it is important to take measures to reduce the emissions of these compounds into the aquatic environment and quickly to remove possible spills of uncontrolled pollution. Sorbents are materials that soak up oil from water. They are best suited for the absorption of oil – derived substances. They are used to absorb leaks in open and closed tanks, particularly in hard – to-reach places. Sorbents can be natural organic, natural inorganic or synthetic. Natural sorbents are divided to organic materials such as peat moss or wood products, and inorganic materials such as vermiculite or clay. Sorbents are available in a loose form, which includes granules, powder, chunks and cubes. Synthetic sorbents are used to wipe other oil spill recovery equipment such as skimmers and booms after a spill clean-up operation. The thesis deals with the issues related to the analysis of the possibility of using sorbents to combat oil pollution in port and coastal areas. The article discusses the types of pollution occurring in coastal waters, as well as the types of sorbents used and the forces and measures to combat pollution. The characteristic features of sorbents are rate of absorption and adsorption, oil retention and ease of application. Absorption tests were carried out and the best sorbents for combating oil pollution were selected.

An Investigation of Morphological Productivity of Nominal and Verbal Compounds in Legal Discourse
Authors: Hamzai Jeta
Published: June 2020

Compounding is one of the most productive word-formation processes in contemporary Standard English. Hence, new patterns occur regularly. Productivity is one of the characteristic features of human language which implies the ability to create and understand new word forms by the speaker of a language. This was the starting point and motivation of this paper. The main aim of this paper was to investigate the morphological productivity of nominal and verb compounds in English as a foreign language in terms of the most productive and the least productive patterns of compounds in a written English corpus (consisted of 60073 words) by 75 students enrolled in undergraduate studies at the Law Faculty at SEEU. The quantitative measure used for the evaluation of the productivity of compounding patterns was according to hapax legomenon [P = n1 / N]. Findings from the empirical approach show that the most productive compounds in the analyzed corpus (professional /Legal English context) are verb compounds, followed by special noun compounds, whereas the least productive were noun compounds. The analysis of the corpus showed that morphological productivity in compounding increased in the writing of students with higher degree of competence and proficiency of English.

At the end of this paper is given the implementation of this method through a numeric example.
Electronic Banking Services and Net Profit in Kosovo: Using Simple Linear Regression and the Correlation Method
Authors: Zogjani Jeton , Zogjani Agon
Published: June 2020

The main aim of this paper is to analyze the electronic banking services in Kosovo’s banking net profit during the period 2013 - 2017. The paper discusses the role that these services have played in the development of the banking industry, modernization of e-commerce, and economic growth. These services provide higher security, faster and easier access by reducing transaction costs, access to more distant markets, and access to many products and services. The main paper results have shown that E-banking services have the highest positive impact in banking net profit, while automated teller machine services have shown a slight positive impact. The highest positive correlation results have been seen in point-of-sale services, whereas automated teller machine services showed a negative correlation in banking net profit in Kosovo during the research period. The constant increase of demand for these services has enabled banks to increase their profits in the banking market of Kosovo. Therefore, the paper finds that commercial banks in Kosovo should increase their focus on the advancement and development of electronic banking services (particularly, E-Banking services which are very practical and can be easily used anywhere and anytime).
Discrimination Against Roma Employees in the Public Administration in the Republic of North Macedonia
Authors: Berat David , Demirovski Agush
Published: June 2020

This article is about the rights of the Roma in North Macedonia and the level of discrimination that Roma are facing while employed in the public sector in the Republic of North Macedonia. The aims and objectives of the article are theoretical and practical understanding of the situation of Roma and the violation of their rights through direct and indirect discrimination at work. The data was collected during the period from May-July 2019 via 52 collected questionaries from a total of 70 public servants who were asked to be a part of the research.

The article shows new data we have collected from employed Roma as public servants in different institutions in the state. The surveyed public servants were 52 in total, from which 34 are employees with secondary education, 17 are with university education and only 1 has a masters degree.

The questionnaire is composed out of 17 questions about the forms of discrimination, feeling or witnesing discrimination at their workplace, who caused the discrimination, witnessing the spread of prejudices and stereotypes about the Roma, rejection of colleagues to share an office with Roma, and who caused the discrimination. One of the results shows that 55% of the surveyed Roma did not have a single training from their employer in the last 12 months and that 69% of those surveyed stated that they felt discrimination in the last 12 months on everyday basis.
Environmental Worldview: A Case Study of Young People from Kosovo
Authors: Srbinovski Mile , Çarkaj Leonora , Ismaili Murtezan
Published: June 2020

Understanding attitudes towards the environment is important because they often determine behaviour that either increases or decreases environmental quality. In this article we investigate the environmental worldview of the young people from Kosovo. The New Revised Environmental Paradigm Scale or New Ecological Paradigm Scale, known as NEP Scale (Dunlap et al., 2000) was used. The study involved 330 young people age 18-20. 150 young people are from secondary schools, and other (180) are from some different faculties at the State University in Mitrovica. The mean score for the full NEP scale in this study was 3.48, which indicates a low endorsement of the NEP among the sample of Kosovo young people. The averages of the sub-dimensions varied between 3.08 (“Limits to growth”) and 3.73 (“Eco-crisis”). Like as others non-industrialized societies, young people from Kosovo tend to believe in the profound connection between humanity and nature, or there are no clear differences between pro-NEP and pro-DSP views. This study confirms the thesis that environmental worldviews differ across cultures. The mean value of the NEP Scale can be feasibly associated with various variables concerning general environmental attitudes. In order to discover the factors that create a pro-ecological orientation of young people in this country, additional researches are needed.

Ramsay Hunt Sydnrome is a rare and severe disease caused by the reactivation of varicella zoster virus (VZV) in the ganglia geniculate. The classic triad of this disease includes ear pain (otalgia), vesicles in the auditory canal, and facial paralysis. This case report is about a 37-year-old woman that has the classic triad of Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, as well as a rare complication of cranial polyneuritis in the form of cephalgia and vertigo which occurs only in 1.8% of cases. The patient came one week after the initial symptoms had started and was given antiviral combination therapy and steroids. Treatment of this disease is time sensitive to <72 hours and will determine the prognosis. One month later the follow up showed sequelae in the form of persistent headache and slight facial paralysis as a result of delayed treatment. This case report showed the importance of prompt diagnosis and treatment to minimize complications of Ramsay Hunt Syndrome.

Published: June 2020

Aim: The purpose of this research is to identify and analyze the association of the Body Mass Index (BMI) and quality of life (QoL) components in students aged 19 to 22 that attended physical education classes once a week during a whole semester. The students come from different faculties of the West University of Timişoara.

Methods: The research was conducted during the physical education classes to which they participated during one semester. The research has begun in October 2018 and ended in January 2019. A total of 400 students were asked to participate in this study, 200 female and 200 male students. As research methods, we used the RAND 36 Item Short Form Health Survey SF-36 questionnaire to assess the quality of life, as well as the statistical-mathematical method.

Results: Our results showed that 66% of the students had a normal BMI, 12% are underweight, 17% are overweight and 12% are obese. It has been found that the quality of life score does not depend on the body mass index. No correlation has been found between the QOL total score and BMI in neither male students r=0.035, R²=0.0012, p=0.62, nor female students r=-0.01, R²<0.001, p=0.88.

Relatos sobre o consumo de pimentas datam desde o descobrimento do novo mundo pelos portugueses e espanhóis. A Jiquitaia é uma mistura que envolve várias espécies de pimentas do gênero Capsicum e acréscimo de sal. Assim, com o intuito de “conhecer para valorizar”, foi elaborada uma revisão sobre a Jiquitaia, no Brasil e no mundo, visando principalmente a divulgação e valorização desse produto local. Foram utilizadas as bases de dados das plataformas Scielo, Google Acadêmico e a Base de Dados da Embrapa (Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária) para a pesquisa, constatando-se que as pesquisas relativas a ocorrência da Jiquitaia em Roraima são raras. Demonstram concordância entre si, quanto a importância do produto para a agricultura familiar e principalmente indígena, assim como para a agroindústria que a fabricam. Acredita-se que há grande interesse neste produto, com boas chances de valorização no mercado atual, porém ainda pouco valorizado quanto as suas origens.

Ao final da disciplina foi aplicado um questionário online para verificar a visão dos alunos em relação a experiência do Estágio Docência e, em seguida, realizou-se a análise qualitativa dos dados, levando-se em consideração, os dados do questionário, as observações realizadas e os resultados nos processos avaliativos realizados.
IMPORTÂNCIA DAS OFICINAS DE TREINAMENTO PARA OS MILITARES DO CORPO DE BOMBEIROS MILITAR
Authors: Santos Leonardo Menezes dos
Published: June 2020

O presente artigo analisa a possibilidade de implantação de oficinas de treinamento para os militares do Corpo de Bombeiros Militar de Roraima (CBMRR). Para chegar a essa proposta, foram observadas pelo pesquisador algumas falhas na execução de procedimentos básicos ao atendimento de ocorrências do serviço operacional do CBMRR, tais como: a dúvida no papel a ser desempenhado por cada membro que compõe a equipe de salvamento que é escalada diariamente. Alguns militares estariam sobrepondo a função de outros membros da equipe e em outros casos, integrantes que deixam de exercer a sua função corretamente na cena da ocorrência. Também foi observada a deficiente manutenção dos materiais utilizados pelos militares no serviço, gerando desgaste prematuro dos equipamentos, além de atendimento duvidosos de ocorrência via número telefônico 193. Com isso foi estudado a eficiência de se implantar uma de treinamento continuado, através de oficinas de áreas essenciais ao desenvolvimento da atuação dos militares da corporação, seria uma opção para diminuir as falhas ocorridas.
CONTRIBUIÇÃO NA FORMAÇÃO INICIAL DE PROFESSORES INDÍGENAS, DO CURSO TAMÎ’KAN EM BOA VISTA-RR, PARA USO DAS TIC’S NA PRÁTICA DOCENTE
Authors: Oliveira Kelson da Luz
Published: June 2020

A educação escolar indígena em Roraima apresenta identidade própria, comprometida com os valores tradicionais dos povos indígenas, com a preservação de formas de aprendizagem e  construção do conhecimento característico das etnias. Seus referenciais, diretrizes e currículos foram elaborados a partir das leis federais e estaduais, mas também com a colaboração dos povos indígenas através de suas associações, como a OPIR (Organização dos Professores Indígenas de Roraima), APIR (Associações dos povos Indígenas de Roraima) e CIR (Conselho Indígena de Roraima), dentre outras. O presente estudo, com base em dados estatísticos do Censo Escolar 2009, tem como objetivo analisar o curso de magistério indígena denominado Tamî’kan, quanto à utilização de metodologias de ensino com o uso e apropriação das novas tecnologias de informação e comunicação para os professores cursistas. A proposta final do estudo é elaborar oficinas pedagógicas para o uso das TICs nas escolas indígenas, como uma complementação dos conhecimentos educacionais do Tamî’kan, contribuindo na qualidade do ensino aprendizagem nas comunidades indígenas de Roraima.

Published: June 2020

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar alguns obstáculos enfrentados por professores de língua portuguesa e alunos hispanofalantes da escola Índio Manoel Barbosa, comunidade indígena Sorocaima, localizada na região fronteiriça Brasil-Venezuela. Um cenário complexo, do ponto de vista linguístico e cultural, devido à presença de estrangeiros e de indígenas brasileiros na instituição escolar. A metodologia utilizada foi qualitativa e de cunho etnográfico (Bortoni-Ricardo, 2008), com registro feito através de pesquisa de campo que contou com observação participativa, entrevistas semiestruturadas e questionários. Observou-se a importância de uma formação linguística ampliada (Cavalcanti, 2013), por parte dos docentes, para desenvolver estratégias necessárias na construção de conhecimentos desses alunos. Nesse sentido, a utilização de textos literários foi essencial para uma metodologia de ensino mais efetiva na referida escola.

São muitos os mitos relacionados à prática da escrita, principalmente no que condiz as produções textuais dos alunos na escola. Para isso, espera-se que o alunado utilize de estratégias textuais que possa evidenciar sua reflexão sobre determinado tema de modo a demonstrar seu conhecimento de mundo. Dessa forma, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar quais são as estratégias textuais utilizadas pelos alunos de 1º ano do Ensino Médio de uma escola pública do estado de Roraima. O corpus é aqui constituído por três redações, pertencentes à tipologia textual dissertativo-argumentativa, escolhidas de forma aleatória, e elaboradas pelos alunos no inicio do 4º Bimestre letivo - 2018. A presente investigação fundamentou-se na Linguística Textual, por meio dos estudos propostos por Koch (2002; 2004; 2009; 2015) e Marcuschi (1998; 1983; 2005; 2007) e também se ancorou no quadro teórico-metodológico do Interacionismo sociodiscursivo, proposto por Bronckart (1999; 2008). A metodologia que orienta o trabalho aqui apresentado é de cunho qualitativo. Face ao exposto, os resultados revelam que os candidatos exploraram mesmo que timidamente os seus conhecimentos prévios, embora os textos ainda apresentem problemas relacionados à organização e ao planejamento textual evidenciados na materialidade do texto em si.
PREENCHIMENTO DO SUJEITO NO PORTUGUÊS BRASILEIRO

Published: June 2020

Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a manifestação do sujeito expresso na escrita de alunos do 9º ano do ensino fundamental da Escola Estadual Padre Eugênio Possamai, uma escola pública do município de Rorainópolis, no estado de Roraima. O estudo verifica a variação do preenchimento do sujeito, um fenômeno sintático (parâmetro do sujeito nulo) apontado por Chomsky (1981), e examina se a ascensão do sujeito pleno no PB, apontado por Duarte (1993), pode ser confirmada no âmbito escolar. A metodologia utilizada foi a pesquisa de campo, momento em que foram coletadas atividades orais em sala de aula e, seguida pela transcrição, classificação, quantificação dos dados para proceder a uma análise quantitativa e qualitativa das sentenças coletadas. O trabalho está fundamentado nos estudos de Chomsky (1981), Duarte (1993, 1995), Figueiredo (1996) e Villarinho (2006), dentre outros pesquisadores. Como resultado, podemos observar que, apesar de os resultados apontados desfavorecerem o uso do sujeito pleno no PB em textos escritos, a hipótese de Duarte (1995) não deve ser eliminada. Por outro lado, faz-se necessário um trabalho em sala de aula, com questões que esclareçam aos alunos, por meio de situações reais de comunicação, que as duas opções de marcação da posição de sujeito podem ser válidas no Português Brasileiro.

O propósito desse trabalho é apresentar orientações teóricas e oficiais sobre a abordagem da variação linguística em sala, como também apresentar indícios que sugerem uma formação profissional mais sistematizada para promoção de práticas de ensino mais condizentes com a proposta nacional e considerando o contexto de Roraima. Para tanto, expõe-se algumas orientações dos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (PCN) para o ensino de língua portuguesa, especialmente os que se referem ao trato da variação linguística. Apresenta-se dados de pesquisas realizadas em Roraima que referem-se às práticas de ensino dessa disciplina e, partir dessas discussões, mostra-se a necessidade da oferta de formação adequada ao professor para promover ajustes entre o que se propõe e o que se oferece como ensino de língua portuguesa.
IDENTIDADE E PERTENCIMENTO NA MÚSICA AMAZÔNICA

Published: June 2020

Esta proposta tem como objetivo apresentar os resultados finais da pesquisa Pós-doutoral com o projeto Cruzamentos de culturas e identidades nas canções poéticas de Roraima. A pesquisa teve como meta fulcral investigar a identidade cultural na produção poético-musical, a fim de alargar a discussão para o campo de conceituação das identidades que não podem ser vistas somente com a tradição oral, mas com as etnias, com a construção e a ritualização dos mitos amazônicos, dos imaginários coletivos, da diversidade linguística que forma a multiplicidade do povo roraimense e, ao mesmo tempo, o singulariza com traços sui generis dentro de sua tradição plural. Ao adentrar na análise das identidades e na diversidade cultural de povos em Roraima, percebe-se que a visão de Tomaz Tadeu da Silva (2000) contribui para o exame dos textos escolhidos, a saber: Roraimeira, Norteando, Casa de Caboclo, Pimenta com sal, Memória da tribo, Tudo índio, Makunaimando e Cruviana, além de uma entrevista com Zeca Preto e Eliakin Rufino. Sob a ancoragem dos estudos culturais e da teoria da literatura, o ensaio trouxe uma discussão em torno de autores relevantes, a saber: Arjun Appadurai (2004), Stuart Hall (1993), Tomaz Tadeu da Silva (2000), Alfredo Bosi (1992) Silviano Santiago (2000), Zigmunt Bauman (1999) e outros.
GESTÃO UNIFICADA DAS VARAS CRIMINAIS DE BOA VISTA-RR

Published: June 2020

A evolução da administração pública de patrimonialista para gerencial tardou quase 500 anos, passando da apropriação do público pelo privado e da burocracia autoritária ao gerencialismo, com a tentativa de administração real dos serviços públicos essenciais, diante do fracasso dos modelos administrativos anteriores. Nesta visão contemporânea ganhou destaque entre outros os serviços judiciais, especialmente pela não obediência ao princípio constitucional da “razoável duração do processo”. A pouca ou às vezes nenhuma eficiência da Justiça intensificou a aprovação da Emenda Constitucional n. 45/2004, a aguardada reforma que criou o Conselho Nacional de Justiça, com a missão de gerenciar e fiscalizar as atividades do Poder Judiciário. Assim, a partir do estabelecimento de metas prioritárias os Tribunais passaram a adotar modelos de gerencialismo, entre eles e a mais recente foi a transformação de unidades judiciárias pouco eficientes em secretarias unificadas, o que ocorreu com o Tribunal de Justiça de Roraima, por meio da Portaria TJRR, de 24 de maio de 2017. Com efeito, este artigo aborda a análise dos dados e opiniões dos usuários, considerando o antes e o depois da instalação da Secretaria Unificadas das Varas Criminais, para saber se houve melhoria efetiva na prestação dos serviços judiciais.
