Authors: Liu Xiaodong , Ma Jian , Zhao Xuan , Zhang Yixi , Zhang Kai , He Yilin
Published: July 2019

The complicated coupling of component design together with energy management has brought a significant challenge to the design, optimization, and control of plug-in hybrid electric buses (PHEBs). This paper proposes an integrated optimization methodology to ensure the optimum performance of a PHEB with a view toward designing and applications. First, a novel co-optimization method is proposed for redesigning the driveline parameters offline, which combines a nondominated sorting genetic algorithm-II (NSGA-II) with dynamic programming to eliminate the impact of the coupling between the component design and energy management. Within the new method, the driveline parameters are optimally designed based on a global optimal energy management strategy, and fuel consumption and acceleration time can be respectively reduced by 4.71% and 4.59%. Second, a model-free adaptive control (MFAC) method is employed to realize the online optimal control of energy management on the basis of Pontryagin’s minimum principle (PMP). Particularly, an MFAC controller is used to track the predesigned linear state-of-charge (SOC), and its control variable is regarded as the co-state of the PMP. The main finding is that the co-state generated by the MFAC controller gradually converges on the optimal one derived according to the prior known driving cycles. This implies that the MFAC controller can realize a real-time application of the PMP strategy without acquiring the optimal co-state by offline calculation. Finally, the verification results demonstrated that the proposed MFAC-based method is applicable to both the typical and unknown stochastic driving cycles, meanwhile, and can further improve fuel economy compared to a conventional proportional-integral-differential (PID) controller.
Constructing a Finer-Resolution Forest Height in China Using ICESat/GLAS, Landsat and ALOS PALSAR Data and Height Patterns of Natural Forests and Plantations

Published: July 2019

Monitoring forest height is crucial to determine the structure and biodiversity of forest ecosystems. However, detailed spatial patterns of forest height from 30 m resolution remotely sensed data are currently unavailable. In this study, we present a new method for mapping forest height by combining spaceborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) with imagery from multiple remote sensing sources, including the Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper (TM), the Phased Array L-band Synthetic Aperture Radars (PALSAR), and topographic data. The nationwide forest heights agree well with results obtained from 525 independent forest height field measurements, yielding correlation coefficient, root mean square error (RMSE), and mean absolute error (MAE) values of 0.92, 4.31 m, and 3.87 m, respectively. Forest heights derived from remotely sensed data range from 1.41 m to 38.94 m, with an average forest height of 16.08 ± 3.34 m. Mean forest heights differ only slightly among different forest types. In natural forests, conifer forests have the greatest mean forest heights, whereas in plantations, bamboo forests have the greatest mean forest heights. Important predictors for modeling forest height using the random forest regression tree method include slope, surface reflectance of red bands and HV backscatter. The uncertainty caused by the uneven distribution of Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS) footprints is estimated to be 0.64 m. After integrating PALSAR data into the model, the uncertainty associated with forest height estimation was reduced by 4.58%. Our finer-resolution forest height could serve as a benchmark to estimate forest carbon storage and would greatly contribute to better understanding the roles of ecological engineering projects in China.

This paper reviews the state of the art of protocols for the measurement of downwelling irradiance in the context of Fiducial Reference Measurements (FRM) of water reflectance for satellite validation. The measurement of water reflectance requires the measurement of water-leaving radiance and downwelling irradiance just above water. For the latter, there are four generic families of method, using: (1) an above-water upward-pointing irradiance sensor; (2) an above-water downward-pointing radiance sensor and a reflective plaque; (3) a Sun-pointing radiance sensor (sunphotometer); or (4) an underwater upward-pointing irradiance sensor deployed at different depths. Each method—except for the fourth, which is considered obsolete for the measurement of above-water downwelling irradiance—is described generically in the FRM context with reference to the measurement equation, documented implementations, and the intra-method diversity of deployment platform and practice. Ideal measurement conditions are stated, practical recommendations are provided on best practice, and guidelines for estimating the measurement uncertainty are provided for each protocol-related component of the measurement uncertainty budget. The state of the art for the measurement of downwelling irradiance is summarized, future perspectives are outlined, and key debates such as the use of reflectance plaques with calibrated or uncalibrated radiometers are presented. This review is based on the practice and studies of the aquatic optics community and the validation of water reflectance, but is also relevant to land radiation monitoring and the validation of satellite-derived land surface reflectance.

Forecasting landscape changes is vital for developing and implementing sustainable urban planning. Presently, apart from lowland coastal cities, mountain cities (i.e., hill stations) are also facing the negative impacts of rapid urbanization due to their economic and social importance. However, few studies are addressing urban landscape changes in hill stations in Asia. This study aims to examine and forecast landscape changes in the rapidly urbanizing hill station of Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka. Landsat data and geospatial techniques including support vector machines, urban–rural gradient, and statistical analysis were used to map and examine the land use/land cover (LULC) change in Nuwara Eliya during the 1996–2006 and 2006–2017 periods. The multilayer perceptron neural network-Markov model was applied to simulate future LULC changes for 2027 and 2037. The results show that Nuwara Eliya has been directly affected by rapid urban development. During the past 21 years (1996–2017), built-up areas increased by 1791 ha while agricultural land declined by 1919 ha due to augmented urban development pressure. The pressure of urban development on forest land has been relatively low, mainly due to strict conservation government policies. The results further show that the observed landscape changes will continue in a similar pattern in the future, confirming a significant increase and decrease of built-up and agricultural land, respectively, from 2017 to 2037. The changes in agricultural land exhibit a strong negative relationship with the changes in built-up land along the urban–rural gradient (R2 were 0.86 in 1996–2006, and 0.93 in 2006–2017, respectively). The observed LULC changes could negatively affect the production of unique upcountry agricultural products such as exotic vegetables, fruits, cut flowers, and world-famous Ceylon tea. Further, unplanned development could cause several environmental issues. The study is important for understanding future LULC changes and suggesting necessary remedial measures to minimize possible undesirable environmental and socioeconomic impacts.

Authors: García-Gómez Saleky , Pérez-Tejero Javier , Hoozemans Marco , Barakat Rubén
Published: July 2019

The aim of the present study was to assess the effects of a 10 week shoulder home based exercise program (SHEP) on shoulder pain (SP) and range of motion (ROM) in a group of elite wheelchair basketball (WB) players. A convenience sample of elite WB players (n = 36, 15 males and 21 females), mean age of 26 years (SD 7.6, range 15–45)) were assigned to either an exercise or a control group, according to the use of the wheelchair during daily activities. The shoulder pain index for wheelchair basketball players (SPI-WB), functional tests and ROM were measured at baseline and after a 10 week intervention. In the analysis of the SPI-WB scores, for the exercise and control groups separately, there were no significant reductions of SPI-WB scores after intervention. Related to the analysis between groups after 10 weeks of intervention, there were no significant differences in changes between the exercise and control groups (Z = 0.840, p > 0.05, r = 0.743). In this regard, there was a significant change after the intervention for shoulder extension ROM (Z = 2.81, p ≤ 0.05, r = 0.249). Shoulder Pain did not increase along the 10 weeks of the SHEP development in WB players who reported SP before the intervention program. However, in those players who started the intervention without SP, as no increase in SP was observed and players were free of injury. An exercise program could be a tool to maintain shoulder health and prevent injuries in elite WB players.
Resilient Forms of Shopping Centers Amid the Rise of Online Retailing: Towards the Urban Experience
Authors: Rao Fujie
Published: July 2019

The rapid expansion of online retailing has long raised the concern that shops and shopping centers (evolved or planned agglomerations of shops) may be abandoned and thus lead to a depletion of urbanity. Contesting this scenario, I employ the concept of ‘retail resilience’ to explore the ways in which different material forms of shopping may persist as online retailing proliferates. Through interviews with planning and development professionals in Edmonton (Canada), Melbourne (Australia), Portland (Oregon), and Wuhan (China); field/virtual observations in a wider range of cities; and a morphological analysis of key shopping centers, I find that brick-and-mortar retail space is not going away; rather, it is being increasingly developed into various shopping spaces geared toward the urban experience (a combination of density, mixed uses, and walkability) and may thus be adapted to online retailing. While not all emerging forms of shopping may persist, these diverse changes, experiments, and adaptations of shops and shopping centers can be considered a form of resilience. However, many emerging shopping centers pose a threat to urban public life.
Measuring Cross-Border Road Accessibility in the European Union
Authors: Christodoulou Aris , Christidis Panayotis
Published: July 2019

Border regions are in the forefront of geographical cohesion of the European Union but often lag behind more central areas on development and connectivity. As transport infrastructure—or rather the lack of it—plays a primary role in this, specific policy measures to improve the quality of road connections and address the overall issues of geographic isolation are often necessary. The methodology presented here provides a set of indicators and tools that allow policy makers to measure accessibility and connectivity of border regions, identify areas where transport infrastructure may be lacking, and prioritize potential investments based on specific policy-relevant criteria. The approach uses very detailed spatially disaggregate data covering EU28 plus Norway and Switzerland at grid level (1 km by 1 km), as well as the complete road network. This level of resolution allows many of the specificities of the areas covered to be taken into account.

Published: July 2019

Due to the significant change in business organizations, scholarly interest has diverted from studying the determinants of financial performance to understanding the environmental activities, sustainability practices, and health and safety management practices. Despite the extensive literature, it is yet to understand either internal or external factors that improve health and safety management practices in SMEs. This research examines the influence of the internal factors—intellectual capital, information technology capabilities (ITC), and entrepreneurial orientation, and the external capabilities—government financial support, institutional pressure, and managerial networking on six health and safety management practices: management commitment, staff training, worker involvement, safety communication and feedback, safety rules and procedures, and safety promotion policies. We researched 410 Pakistani SMEs from the food business industry. The results indicate that intellectual capital significantly improves management commitment, safety communication and feedback, and safety rules and produces; ITC significantly improves management commitment and safety communication and feedback; and entrepreneurial orientation significantly facilitates safety training and worker involvement only. In the external capabilities, government financial support has a significant influence on management commitment, worker involvement, safety rules and policies, and safety promotion policies. Institutional pressure has a significant influence on management commitment, safety training, safety communication, and feedback and safety promotion policies. Managerial networking significantly influences safety training, worker involvement, safety rules and procedures, and safety promotion policies of SMEs. Focusing only on the food industry is the major limitation of this research, this study recommends SMEs to give sufficient attention to their internal and external factors to enhance health and safety management practices. Further implications are discussed.

The production and distribution of food are among the hot topics debated in the context of sustainable development. Short food supply chains (SFSCs) are now widely believed to be more sustainable in comparison to mass food delivery systems. To date, very little quantitative evidence exists on the impacts of various types of food supply chains. Using a cross-sectional quantitative approach, this study assesses the sustainability of distribution channels in short and long food supply chains based on 208 food producers across seven countries: France, Hungary, Italy, Norway, Poland, the United Kingdom, and Vietnam. Ten distribution channel types are used in this study. To provide a comprehensive sustainability assessment, a set of economic, social, and environmental indicators are applied. Indicators commonly used in the literature are used, supported by original indicators constructed specifically for the present study. In total, 486 chains are examined and the study confirms that individual producers participate simultaneously in several, short and long chains. Participation in SFSCs is beneficial for producers from an economic perspective. SFSCs allow producers to capture a large proportion of margin otherwise absorbed by different intermediaries. It appears, however, that ’longer’ supply channels generate lower environmental impacts per unit of production when measured in terms of food miles and carbon footprint. Finally, ambiguous results are found regarding social dimension, with significant differences across types of chains.
A Review of Underground Pipeline Leakage and Sinkhole Monitoring Methods Based on Wireless Sensor Networking
Authors: Ali Haibat , Choi Jae-ho
Published: July 2019

Major metropolitan cities worldwide have extensively invested to secure utilities and build state-of-the-art infrastructure related to underground fluid transportation. Sewer and water pipelines make our lives extremely convenient when they function appropriately. However, leakages in underground pipe mains causes sinkholes and drinking-water scarcity. Sinkholes are the complex problems stemming from the interaction of leaked water and ground. The aim of this work is to review the existing methods for monitoring leakage in underground pipelines, the sinkholes caused by these leakages, and the viability of wireless sensor networking (WSN) for monitoring leakages and sinkholes. Herein, the authors have discussed the methods based on different objectives and their applicability via various approaches—(1) patent analysis; (2) web-of-science analysis; (3) WSN-based pipeline leakage and sinkhole monitoring. The study shows that the research on sinkholes due to leakages in sewer and water pipelines by using WSN is still in a premature stage and needs extensive investigation and research contributions. Additionally, the authors have suggested prospects for future research by comparing, analyzing, and classifying the reviewed methods. This study advocates collocating WSN, Internet of things, and artificial intelligence with pipeline monitoring methods to resolve the issues of the sinkhole occurrence.
Emissions Sharing Observations from a Diverse Range of Countries
Authors: Sahu Sonam , Saizen Izuru
Published: July 2019

The Paris Agreement is set to come into effect from the year 2020. With this, the issue of emission sharing responsibility has gained momentum. This paper discusses the future emission allowances of various countries based on different sharing principles. Twelve countries from six continents were chosen for observation based on attributes such as past emissions, extent of development, and population. The aim was to find the implication of different sharing principles in future emission quota of a diverse range of countries. Four different budgeting periods were employed for increased certainty. Future cumulative and per capita emission allowances were estimated. The results prove that longer budgeting periods are more advantageous for developed countries while shorter budgeting periods favor developing countries more. The study brings forth some new developments in emission distribution research, primarily concerned with the low emitting countries. Overall, the study contributes to the field of emission sharing science to meet global climate targets.
Accumulation of Microcystin-LR in Grains of Two Rice Varieties (Oryza sativa L.) and a Leafy Vegetable, Ipomoea aquatica
Authors: Wijewickrama Menuja M , Manage Pathmalal M
Published: July 2019

The potential transfer of microcystin-LR (MC-LR) to humans via crop plants irrigated with MC-contaminated water is causing serious concern. In this study, two Oryza sativa variants, a hybrid (BG358), a traditional (Suwandel) variety, and a leafy green vegetable crop, Ipomoea aquatica, were exposed under laboratory conditions to natural blooms of Microcystis aeruginosa sampled from a hypereutrophic lake contaminated with MC-LR (3,197.37 ± 1.04 µg/L). Field samples of O. sativa and I. aquatica were collected from farmlands that had been irrigated from a reservoir, containing MC-LR (180 µg/L). MC-LR was quantified by high performance liquid chromatography followed by photodiode-array detection (HPLC-PDA). From the laboratory study, we calculated the potential human health exposure from BG358, Suwandel and I. aquatica as 2.84 ± 0.01, 0.22 ± 0.01, and 0.06 ± 0.01 µg/kg of body weight/day, respectively, whereas the potential health exposures from BG358, Suwandel and I. aquatica collected from the field were 0.10 ± 0.01, 0.009 ± 0.005, and 0.03 ± 0.01 µg/kg of body weight/day, respectively. In certain instances, the results exceeded the World Health Organization’s (WHO) tolerable daily intake of MC-LR, posing a potential health risk to humans. Thus, our results emphasize the importance of continuous screening programs for cyanotoxins in edible plants in the future to prevent the consumption of contaminated crops.

Published: July 2019

Puumala virus is an RNA virus hosted by the bank vole (Myodes glareolus) and is today present in most European countries. Whilst it is generally accepted that hantaviruses have been tightly co-evolving with their hosts, Puumala virus (PUUV) evolutionary history is still controversial and so far has not been studied at the whole European level. This study attempts to reconstruct the phylogeographical spread of modern PUUV throughout Europe during the last postglacial period in the light of an upgraded dataset of complete PUUV small (S) segment sequences and by using most recent computational approaches. Taking advantage of the knowledge on the past migrations of its host, we identified at least three potential independent dispersal routes of PUUV during postglacial recolonization of Europe by the bank vole. From the Alpe-Adrian region (Balkan, Austria, and Hungary) to Western European countries (Germany, France, Belgium, and Netherland), and South Scandinavia. From the vicinity of Carpathian Mountains to the Baltic countries and to Poland, Russia, and Finland. The dissemination towards Denmark and North Scandinavia is more hypothetical and probably involved several independent streams from south and north Fennoscandia.
Local Scour at Complex Bridge Piers in Close Proximity under Clear-Water and Live-Bed Flow Regime
Authors: Yang Yifan , Melville Bruce W. , Macky Graham H. , Shamseldin Asaad Y.
Published: July 2019

In this study, we investigated the characteristics of scour at complex bridge piers in close proximity. The experiments were performed under both clear-water and live-bed flow regimes. We compare our results with those for a single complex pier. Further, the performance of existing predictors is discussed. In this study, four typical pier arrangements were adopted, including side-by-side with aligned or 30° skewed flow, staggered, and tandem. The results show that the skew angle for a side-by-side arrangement significantly accelerates the clear-water scour development at all the vertical piles as well as between the piers, and the most scoured pile shifts from the upstream end to the downstream end of the upstream pier flank. The staggered and tandem pier arrangement show significant protection to the downstream pier for both the developing rate and the equilibrium scour depth. When the flow velocity exceeds the threshold for general bed motion, the clear-water scour pattern for all the pier arrangements may be altered significantly due to the upstream sediment supply, the weakened protection effect, and the enhanced flow contraction. The bed-forms migrate via the bridge opening and are damped gradually by the flow, and thus the response of the bed morphology under live-bed conditions is quite unsteady.
Sustainable effect of individualised sun protection advice on sun protection behaviour: a 10-year follow-up of a randomised controlled study in primary care
Authors: Hedevik Henrik , Guorgis Ghassan , Anderson Chris D , Falk Magnus
Published: July 2019

Background

In the light of increasing skin cancer incidences worldwide, preventive measures to promote sun protection in individuals with risky sun habits have continued relevance and importance.

Aim

To report the long-term effect of individualised sun protection advice given in primary health care (PHC), on sun habits and sun protection behaviour.

Design & setting

In 2005, 309 PHC patients were enrolled in a randomised controlled study performed in a Swedish PHC setting.

Method

At baseline, the study participants completed a Likert scale-based questionnaire, mapping sun habits, propensity to increase sun protection, and attitudes towards sun exposure, followed by randomisation into three intervention groups, all receiving individualised sun protection advice: in Group 1 (n= 116) by means of a letter, and in Group 2 (n= 97) and 3 (n= 96) communicated personally by a GP. In Group 3, participants also underwent a skin ultraviolet-sensitivity phototest, with adjusted sun protection advice based on the result. A repeated questionnaire was administered after 3 and 10 years.

Results

Statistically significant declines were observed in all groups for sun exposure mean scores over time. When using a cumulative score, according to the Sun Exposure and Protection Index (SEPI), significantly greater decrease in SEPI mean score was observed in Groups 2 and 3 (GP), compared to Group 1 (letter);P<0.01. The addition of a phototest did not enhance the effect of the intervention.

Conclusion

Individualised sun protection advice mediated verbally by the GP can lead to sustained improvement of sun protective behaviour.

Realizou-se uma busca nas bases de dados LILACS, PubMed e SCOPUS, considerando publicações a partir do ano de 1982. Foram utilizados os descritores segundo o índice dos Descritores em Ciências da Saúde e os descritores sugeridos pelo Medical Subject Headings. Os dados foram coletados no período de agosto a outubro de 2015, e 14 artigos compuseram o corpus do trabalho. Após análise emergiram três áreas para discussão: acesso à atenção primária com vistas à integralidade; serviços de saúde, profissionais e integralidade do cuidado; atendimento domiciliar e apoio familiar; que podem ser entendidas como as evidências científicas. Embora necessários, os cuidados integrais da saúde do idoso ainda não são uma realidade tornando-se um desafio na Atenção Primária.

A saúde do homem adquiriu maior visibilidade a partir da publicação da Política Nacional de Atenção Integral à Saúde do Homem. Trata-se de um estudo de abordagem qualitativa, do tipo exploratório e descritivo, cujo objetivo foi analisar as percepções de enfermeiras da Estratégia Saúde da Família sobre a produção de cuidados à saúde do homem. Participaram da pesquisa dez enfermeiras que atuavam nos serviços da Estratégia Saúde da Família de um município localizado no sudoeste baiano. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas. A análise dos dados se deu por meio da Análise de Conteúdo Temática. A partir da leitura e interpretação dos dados foram construídas três categorias temáticas: 1) Saúde do homem: significados de enfermeiros da Estratégia Saúde da Família; 2) Dificuldades para o desenvolvimento de ações voltadas a saúde do homem e 3) Estratégias de assistência à saúde do homem na Estratégia Saúde da Família. Os resultados apontaram para as fragilidades que o público masculino se depara em relação aos serviços de saúde da família, evidenciadas pela falta de estrutura dos serviços; a falta de qualificação profissional para produção de cuidados dirigidos ao público masculino e os estereótipos de masculinidade que afastam os homens dos serviços de saúde.

A ausência-presença performática do autor: Ricardo Lísias e sua Vista particular
Authors: Bastos Martins Anderson , Ziviani da Silva Reinaldo
Published: July 2019

Em sua obra, Ricardo Lísias se notabilizou pela escritura de autoficções polêmicas pelas ambiguidades envolvidas nesse processo literário. Em A vista particular (Alfaguara, 2016), depara-se com um enredo cujo protagonista é um artista que também se utiliza de mecanismos da arte contemporânea antimimética. As ações extremas e mesmo surreais dessa personagem podem ser analisadas como meio de entendimento da proposta de Lísias em suas obras, bem como o autor se inscreve performaticamente como um personagem de si mesmo, tornando sua vida pública indistinta da sua obra.
O tempo integral escolar e a formação continuada na percepção de professores
Authors: Paiva Flávia Russo Silva
Published: July 2019

O objetivo da pesquisa apresentada neste artigo consistiu em investigar como professores que atuam no desenvolvimento do Projeto “Educação em Tempo Integral”, da Secretaria de Educação do Estado de Minas Gerais, e discentes de um curso de aperfeiçoamento percebem o tempo integral e a formação continuada direcionada para a atuação docente em propostas de ampliação da jornada escolar. A pesquisa orientou-se pela abordagem qualitativa e valemo-nos da entrevista com roteiro semiestruturado como instrumento para coleta de informações. Os resultados deste estudo nos possibilitam destacar duas percepções do tempo integral no entendimento das docentes: como possibilidade de evitar a permanência de crianças na rua, bem como de ofertar acompanhamento pedagógico aos educandos.
EVOLUÇÃO ANTROPOGENICA DO RELEVO EM ÁREAS DE MINERAÇÃO DO DISTRITO DE ITAOCA, CACHOEIRO DE ITAPEMIRIM (ES), BRASIL
Authors: Frechiani Juliana Mendes , Marchioro Eberval
Published: July 2019

Esse trabalho visa analisar a evolução antropogênica do relevo em algumas áreas de mineração no distrito de Itaoca, município de Cachoeiro de Itapemirim (ES). Para a obtenção das variáveis geomorfológicas declividade, curvatura horizontal (Convergente, Planar e Divergente), curvatura vertical (Côncavo, Retilínea e Convexa) e formas de terreno, foram utilizadas curvas de nível com equidistância de 10 em 10 metros de três áreas escolhidas no distrito. Para a elaboração do mapeamento do uso e cobertura da terra do distrito na escala de 1:5.000, foram utilizadas fotografias aéreas obtidas junto ao Instituto de Defesa Agropecuária e Florestal (IDAF) no primeiro período, denominado de 1970 e, da Hiparc Geotecnologias Ltda., no segundo período, denominado ano de 2012 ; sua classificação foi realizada a partir da tabela de classificação utilizada pela HIPARC Geotecnologia Ltda, a serviço do Instituto Estadual de Meio Ambiente (IEMA) no ano de 2012. Todo o processamento e geração de mapas foi realizado no ArcGisTM 10.2. Os resultados evidenciam o predomínio do uso e cobertura da terra de Pastagem nos dois períodos, a duplicação da área de mineração de 2,07% em 1970, para 4, 65% em 2012, a ampliação da massa de água associada a exploração em lavra de 2,40% em 1970 para 2.63% no ano de 2012. As variáveis geomorfológicas das três áreas escolhidas sofreram profundas alterações de um período para o outro devido a exploração mineral, gerando em alguns casos “Lagoa antropogênica ou antrópica de mineração” e “escarpa de mineração”, bem como, modificações na dinâmica hidrológica superficial e subsuperficial.

Published: July 2019

A área urbana do Município de Juiz de Fora já passou por múltiplas divisões territoriais, quase todas incompatíveis entre si. Esse cenário tem provocado indecisões em relação a qual referência espacial deve ser adotada para tratar a compartimentação intraurbana do município, gerando dúvidas tanto para a população quanto para os próprios agentes municipais. Dessa forma, neste artigo são apresentadas, cronologicamente, as distintas propostas legalmente consolidadas a cerca das divisões territoriais da área urbana, evidenciando suas principais características, objetivos e seus respectivos problemas. Espera-se que esse trabalho possa contribuir para um melhor entendimento dessas regionalizações e tornar sua compreensão mais clara.
Sutilezas da Amada: Esboço de uma Mística Comparada entre o matrimônio espiritual da Via Unitiva do Cântico Espiritual de João da Cruz e a filosofia de Blaise Pascal
Authors: Landau de Carvalho Matheus
Published: July 2019

Este Artigo tem por objetivo contribuir para os estudos de mística comparada ao tentar esboçar um inventário das possíveis ressonâncias entre as vivências místicas de João da Cruz e Blaise Pascal no que tange aos limites de expressão linguística do intelecto humano e às sensações de fruição de uma condição beatífica e perturbação íntima da alma presentes principalmente no matrimônio espiritual da via unitiva no Cântico Espiritual do frade carmelita e nos Pensamentos do filósofo francês.
Protestantismo, dogmatismo e modernidade: releituras a partir de Rubem Alves
Authors: Mendes Danilo
Published: July 2019

A vida e a obra de Rubem Alves são claramente marcadas pelos encontros, mas sobretudo, com os desencontros dele com o protestantismo. Este fato comprova-se nas diversas obras em que este movimento cristão é centro: seja como referencial teórico para uma nova linguagem humanista, em fundamentalismos contemporâneos por ele analisados, seja como berço de um brinquedo chamado Teologia. Em meio a estas e outras obras, as leituras de Alves sobre o significado que o protestantismo e a reforma têm para hoje revelam-se extremamente profícuas e necessárias. O objetivo deste texto é explicitar tais leituras, sintetizá-las e considerar como as leituras de Rubem Alves contribuem para as análises do protestantismo brasileiro, sobretudo ao relacioná-lo com a epistemologia científica moderna.
A sociologia no ensino médio: com a palavra os estudantes
Authors: Vargas Antunes Katiúscia C. , Azevedo de Oliveira Rafaela Reis
Published: July 2019

O artigo em tela traz uma reflexão acerca da Sociologia na escola básica a partir da ótica dos estudantes. O objetivo central da pesquisa foi problematizar o papel da Sociologia para/com os jovens, tendo como referencia o que estes pensam sobre a disciplina. O locus da pesquisa foi o Colégio de Aplicação da niversidadeFederal de Juiz de Fora/MG. A metodologia que norteou o estudo pautou-se na técnica do grupo focal. Foram realizados três grupos, com um número de 12 a 15 estudantes que cursavam o terceiro ano do ensino Médio. Os resultados foram organizados cinco categorias analíticas, i) conhecendo a sociologia: o que é?; ii) A sociologia e o pensamento crítico: por que debater?; iii) A sociologia e o cotidiano: o que tem a ver?; iv) O meu/ a minha professor/professora de sociologia: como ensinar?; e v) Mudanças são bem-vindas: por que mudar? De maneira geral, foi possível perceber que os estudantes compreendem a ociologia como uma disciplina relevante para compreensão da sociedade e suas relações; que quando o professor trabalha de maneira contextualizada eles demonstram maior interesse; que a relação entre professor-aluno, quando amistosa, faz diferença na recepção da disciplina em sala de aula, ou nos espaços de encontro.
