Authors: Perpiña Castillo Carolina , Coll Aliaga Eloína , Lavalle Carlo , Martínez Llario José Carlos
Published: January 2020

This article presents a study based on the outputs from the LUISA Territorial modelling platform (Joint Research Centre of the European Commission) focused on regional and local future projections of land abandonment between 2015 and 2030. Spain is taken as representative of one of the countries highly affected by agricultural land abandonment in the European Union. The most relevant factors driving land abandonment (biophysical, agroeconomics, farm structure and demographic) are described and mapped. Results from the analysis reveal that the Galicia region, northern Spain (Asturias, Cantabria, Gipuzkoa, Bizkaia), north-eastern Spain (Aragón region), central Pyrenees/Ebro basin (Huesca, Navarra, Lleida) and south-eastern Spain (Murcia, Almería, Alicante, Málaga) are expected to undergo important abandonment processes. The study also concludes that land abandonment within mountainous, high nature value farmland and Natura 2000 areas is lower compared to the outside area without conservation and protection measures.

Published: January 2020

The diffusion of electric vehicles in Italy has started but some complications weight its spread. At present, hybrid technology is the most followed by users, due particularly to socioeconomic factors such as cost of investment and range anxiety. After a deep discussion of the Italian scenario, the aim of the paper is to recognize whether fuel cell technology may be an enabling solution to overcome pollution problems and respect for the environment. The opportunity to use fuel cells to store electric energy is quite fascinating—the charging times will be shortened and heavy passenger transport should be effortless challenged. On the basis of the present history and by investigating the available information, this work reports the current e-mobility state in Italy and forecasts the cities in which a fuel cell charging infrastructure should be more profitable, with the intention of granting a measured outlook on the plausible development of this actual niche market.
Plant Diversity and Agroecosystem Function in Riparian Agroforests: Providing Ecosystem Services and Land-Use Transition
Authors: Buchanan Serra W. , Baskerville Megan , Oelbermann Maren , Gordon Andrew M. , Thevathasan Naresh V. , Isaac Marney E.
Published: January 2020

Achieving biologically diverse agricultural systems requires a commitment to changes in land use. While in-field agrobiodiversity is a critical route to such a transition, riparian systems remain an important, yet understudied, pathway to achieve key diversity and ecosystem services and targets. Notably, at the interface of agricultural landscapes and aquatic systems, the diversification of riparian buffers with trees reduces the non-point source pollution in waterways. However, in riparian agroforestry systems, little is known about herbaceous community patterns and, importantly, the herbaceous community’s role in governing carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycling. Our study investigated herbaceous community taxonomic and phylogenetic diversity patterns in riparian (i) grasslands (GRASSLAND), (ii) rehabilitated agroforests (AGROFOREST-REHAB), and (iii) remnant forests (AGROFOREST-NATURAL). We then determined the biodiversity-ecosystem function relationships between community functional diversity metrics, C and N cycling, and greenhouse gas fluxes. We observed significant differences in taxonomic and phylogenetic diversity among riparian buffer types. We found that herbaceous plant communities in riparian agroforestry systems expressed plant trait syndromes associated with fast-growing, resource acquiring strategies, while grassland buffer plants exhibited slow-growing, resource conserving strategies. Herbaceous communities with high functional diversity and resource acquiring trait syndromes, such as those in the agroforestry riparian systems, were significantly correlated with lower rates of soil CO2 efflux and N mineralization, both of which are key fluxes related to ecosystem service delivery. Our findings provide further evidence that functionally diverse, and not necessarily taxonomically diverse, plant communities are strongly correlated to positive ecosystem processes in riparian agroforestry systems, and that these communities contribute to the transition of agricultural lands toward biologically and functionally diverse landscapes.
Ranking Importance of Topographical Surface and Subsurface Parameters on Paludification in Northern Boreal Forests Using Very High Resolution Remotely Sensed Datasets
Authors: Laamrani Ahmed , Valeria Osvaldo
Published: January 2020

The accumulation of organic material on top of the mineral soil over time (a process called paludification) is common in Northern Boreal coniferous forests. This natural process leads to a marked decrease in forest productivity overtime. Topography both at the surface of the forest floor (i.e., above ground) and the subsurface (i.e., top of mineral soil which is underground) is known to play a critical role in the paludification process. Until recently, the availability of more accurate topographic information regarding the surface and subsurface was a limiting factor for land management and modeling of spatial organic layer thickness (OLT) variability, a proxy for paludification. However so far, no research has assessed which of these two topographic variables has the greatest influence on paludification. This study aims to assess which topographic variable (surface or subsurface) better explains paludification, using high-resolution remote sensing technology (i.e., Light Detection and Ranging: LiDAR and Ground Penetrating Radar: GPR). To this end, field soil measurements were made in over 1614 sites distributed throughout the reference Valrennes Experimental site in Canadian northern coniferous forests. Then, a machine learning model (i.e., Random Forest, RF) was implemented to rank a set of selected predictor topographic variables (i.e., slope, aspect, mean curvature, plan curvature, profile curvature, and topographic wetness index) using the Mean Decrease Gini (MDG) index as an indicator of importance. Results showed that overall 83% of the overall variance was explained by the RF selected model, while the derived subsurface topography predictors had the lowest MDGs for predicting paludification. On the other hand, the surface slope predictor had the highest MDGs and better explained paludification. This finding would be particularly useful for implanting sustainable management strategies based on the surface variables of paludified northern boreal forests. This study has also highlighted the potential of LiDAR data to provide surface topographic spatial detail information for planning and optimizing forest management activities in paludified boreal forests. This is even of great importance when we know that LiDAR variables are easier to obtain compared to GPR derived variables (subsurface topographic variables).
Doubly Charged Higgs Bosons and Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking at eV and TeV Scales
Authors: Gluza Janusz , Kordiaczyńska Magdalena , Srivastava Tripurari
Published: January 2020

In this paper, beyond standard models are considered with additional scalar triplets without modification of the gauge group (Higgs Triplet Model—HTM) and with an extended gauge group S U ( 2 ) R ⊗ S U ( 2 ) L ⊗ U ( 1 ) (Left–Right Symmetric Model—LRSM). These models differ drastically in possible triplet vacuum expectation values (VEV). Within the HTM, we needed to keep the triplet VEV at most within the range of GeV to keep the electroweak ρ parameter strictly close to 1, down to electronvolts due to the low energy constraints on lepton flavor-violating processes and neutrino oscillation parameters. For LRSM, the scale connected with the S U ( 2 ) R triplet is relevant, and to provide proper masses of non-standard gauge bosons, VEV should at least be at the TeV level. Both models predict the existence of doubly charged scalar particles. In this paper, their production in the e + e − collider is examined for making a distinction in the s- and t- channels between the two models in scenarios when masses of doubly charged scalars are the same.

Published: January 2020

Recently, large-scale bioinformatics and genomic data have been generated using advanced biotechnology methods, thus increasing the importance of analyzing such data. Numerous data mining methods have been developed to process genomic data in the field of bioinformatics. We extracted significant genes for the prognosis prediction of 1157 patients using gene expression data from patients with kidney cancer. We then proposed an end-to-end, cost-sensitive hybrid deep learning (COST-HDL) approach with a cost-sensitive loss function for classification tasks on imbalanced kidney cancer data. Here, we combined the deep symmetric auto encoder; the decoder is symmetric to the encoder in terms of layer structure, with reconstruction loss for non-linear feature extraction and neural network with balanced classification loss for prognosis prediction to address data imbalance problems. Combined clinical data from patients with kidney cancer and gene data were used to determine the optimal classification model and estimate classification accuracy by sample type, primary diagnosis, tumor stage, and vital status as risk factors representing the state of patients. Experimental results showed that the COST-HDL approach was more efficient with gene expression data for kidney cancer prognosis than other conventional machine learning and data mining techniques. These results could be applied to extract features from gene biomarkers for prognosis prediction of kidney cancer and prevention and early diagnosis.
Family Symmetries and Multi Higgs Doublet Models
Authors: Dziewit Bartosz , Holeczek Jacek , Zając Sebastian , Zrałek Marek
Published: January 2020

Imposing a family symmetry on the Standard Model in order to reduce the number of its free parameters, due to the Schur’s Lemma, requires an explicit breaking of this symmetry. To avoid the need for this symmetry to break, additional Higgs doublets can be introduced. In such an extension of the Standard Model, we investigate family symmetries of the Yukawa Lagrangian. We find that adding a second Higgs doublet (2HDM) does not help, at least for finite subgroups of the U ( 3 ) group up to the order of 1025.
Role of Geometric Shape in Chiral Optics

Published: January 2020

The distinction of chiral and mirror symmetric objects is straightforward from a geometrical point of view. Since the biological as well as the optical activity of molecules strongly depend on their handedness, chirality has recently attracted high interest in the field of nano-optics. Various aspects of associated phenomena including the influences of internal and external degrees of freedom on the optical response have been discussed. Here, we propose a constructive method to evaluate the possibility of observing any chiral response from an optical scatterer. Based on solely the T-matrix of one enantiomer, planes of minimal chiral response are located and compared to geometric mirror planes. This provides insights into the relation of geometric and optical properties and enables identifying the potential of chiral scatterers for nano-optical experiments.
Block-And-Lock Strategies to Cure HIV Infection
Authors: Vansant Gerlinde , Bruggemans Anne , Janssens Julie , Debyser Zeger
Published: January 2020

Today HIV infection cannot be cured due to the presence of a reservoir of latently infected cells inducing a viral rebound upon treatment interruption. Hence, the latent reservoir is considered as the major barrier for an HIV cure. So far, efforts to completely eradicate the reservoir via a shock-and-kill approach have proven difficult and unsuccessful. Therefore, more research has been done recently on an alternative block-and-lock functional cure strategy. In contrast to the shock-and-kill strategy that aims to eradicate the entire reservoir, block-and-lock aims to permanently silence all proviruses, even after treatment interruption. HIV silencing can be achieved by targeting different factors of the transcription machinery. In this review, we first describe the underlying mechanisms of HIV transcription and silencing. Next, we give an overview of the different block-and-lock strategies under investigation.
Efficiency Analysis of the Input for Water-Saving Agriculture in China
Authors: Cao Yangdong , Zhang Wang , Ren Jinzheng
Published: January 2020

To optimize the installation distribution of water-saving techniques and improve the efficiency of water-saving agricultural inputs, we used a three-stage data envelopment analysis (DEA) model and Chinese provincial panel data from 2014 to 2016 to analyze the input efficiency of the water-saving irrigation. This study explores the efficiency derived from the efforts of water-saving initiatives in the agricultural sector in China. We present the impacts of factors such as technology, scale, diminishing marginal revenue, and crop water requirements on the research results. We found overall efficiency of water-saving irrigation is increasing nationally. The efficiency of water-saving irrigation input will significantly increase if management and organization of the input improve. Increasing the investment in areas with increasing marginal revenue would improve the local agricultural water-saving input efficiency in areas such as Hainan, Chongqing, Guizhou, Tibet, and Qinghai; although in areas with large water requirement for major crops, such as Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang, the efficiency of water-saving irrigation is generally high. Shanxi requires a large amount of water as the efficiency of agricultural water-saving input is 0.07, which is relatively lower than the average efficiency of all regions (0.39). The cultivated area index and the GDP per capita had no significant effect on the irrigation input efficiency.
Application of Open Source Electronics for Measurements of Surface Water Properties in an Estuary: A Case Study of River Jadro, Croatia
Authors: Divić Vladimir , Galešić Morena , Di Dato Mariaines , Tavra Marina , Andričević Roko
Published: January 2020

There are multiple factors affecting the behavior of water properties in an estuary, including the hydraulic properties of rivers and corresponding receiving water bodies, along with the potential solutes brought by rivers. Although there are various numerical models and analytical approaches to solving particular or holistic problems in estuaries, measurements are inevitably required. In this study, we developed an innovative low-cost probe based on the Arduino platform as an alternative to more expensive measuring systems. Our device is designed to measure position, temperature, and electrical conductivity in multiple realizations, and it consists of a floating container equipped with the following components: an Arduino Mega development board, a power management module, an SD card logging module, a Bluetooth module, a temperature measuring module, a global positioning satellite (GPS) position module, and a newly developed module for measuring electrical conductivity (EC). We emphasize that all used tools are open-source and greatly supported by the worldwide community. We tested our probe during a field campaign conducted at the estuary of River Jadro near Split (Croatia). Nine probes were released at the river mouth and their position, temperature, and EC were monitored and recorded during the experiment, which ended when the probes stopped, due to the river plume attenuation. The same experiment was repeated three times. All of the probes recorded consistent temperature data, while the EC data show more variable behavior, due to the higher sensitivity of the corresponding sensor. This was expected as a part of the natural process in the estuary. The measured data were additionally used to parameterize an analytical model for mean flow velocity and salinity as a proxy concentration. This showed a good match between the experimental results and the theoretical framework. This work, although focused on water surface applications in the near field zone of an estuary, should be considered as a promising step toward the development of innovative and affordable measurement devices.
Physics-Based Simulation of Ocean Scenes in Marine Simulator Visual System
Authors: Li Haijiang , Ren Hongxiang , Qiu Shaoyang , Wang Chang
Published: January 2020

The realistic simulation of ocean scenes is of great significance in many scientific fields. We propose an improved Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) framework to simulate the ocean scenes. The improved SPH combines nonlinear constant density constraints and divergence-free velocity field constraint. Density constraints adjust the particle distribution on position layer, so that the density is constrained to a constant state. The addition of the divergence-free velocity field constraint significantly accelerates the convergence of constant density constraint and further reduces the density change. The simulation results show that the improved SPH has high solution efficiency, large time steps, and strong stability. Then, we introduce a unified boundary handling model to simulate coupling scenes. The model samples the boundary geometry as particles by means of single layer nonuniform sampling. The contribution of the boundary particles is taken into account when the physical quantities of fluid particles are computed. The unified model can handle various types of complex geometry adaptively. When rendering the ocean, we propose an improved anisotropic screen space fluid method, which alleviates the discontinuity problem near the boundary and maintains the anisotropy of particles. The research provides a theoretical reference for the highly believable maritime scene simulation in marine simulators.

Study of amino acid blood content showed that blood serum of yaks from the polluted area compared to animals from the clean area demonstrated the decrease in the amount of such essential amino acids as threonine (by 4.8 times), phenylalanine (by 1.3 times), as well as non-essential amino acids glycine (by 1.9 times), alanine (by 1.4 times), and tyrosine (by 15.0 times). Separate biochemical indicators of yak blood can be used as the indicators for ecological assessment of biogeocenoses.
Pragmatisme juridique et contrôle de l’activité judiciaire en Chine post-mao
Authors: Li-Kotovtchikhine Xiao-Ying
Published: January 2020

Le pragmatisme juridique post-Mao est caractérisé par une vision instrumentale du droit, qui doit être au service du développement économique, du maintien de la stabilité et du maintien de la direction du PCC. Dans le domaine judiciaire, ce pragmatisme se manifeste avant tout par le contrôle de l’activité des juges, qui peut être politique ou hiérarchique. Le contrôle politique est exercé par les Commissions des affaires politiques et judiciaires, organes du PCC extérieurs aux tribunaux populaires, d’une part, et par les Comités de jugement qui sont institués au sein de chaque tribunal populaire, d’autre part. Le contrôle hiérarchique est mis en oeuvre grâce au pouvoir d’ «approbation des affaires » dont disposent les dirigeants du tribunal. Son effet est renforcé par le système de responsabilité du juge en cas d’ «erreur judiciaire » . Ainsi, le pouvoir de décision dans un procès n’appartient pas aux juges. Un des enjeux fondamentaux de la réforme judiciaire chinoise est de changer cette situation.
Pour de nouveaux « modèles » de justice constitutionnelle
Authors: Carpentier Mathieu
Published: January 2020

Le débat fait rage qui oppose les partisans et les critiques des modèles traditionnels (européen/ kelsénien, américain) de justice constitutionnelle. Le présent article s’attache à montrer que les uns comme les autres restent prisonniers d’une approche excessivement organique de la matière. Dès lors que l’on déplace l’objet de la comparaison de l’organe à la fonction, et que l’on envisage les diverses manières dont les fonctions de justice constitutionnelle sont exercées au sein des systèmes juridiques contemporains, on prend la mesure du caractère irrémédiablement confus des critères de modélisation (juge ordinaire/ cour spécialisée ; contrôle diffus/ concentré ; concret/ abstrait, etc.) usuellement retenus tant par ceux qui défendent les modèles traditionnels que par ceux qui croient tirer des constats d’hybridation des arguments décisifs contre ces derniers. L’enjeu est alors d’abandonner ces outils classiques et de proposer de nouveaux paramètres pertinents pour une modélisation alternative, soucieuse de représenter les divers rôles qui sont confiés aux juges qui exercent des fonctions de justice constitutionnelle et la place qui leur est conférée au sein de l’édifice constitutionnel.
La privatisation du droit de la famille en France. Perspectives comparatives
Authors: Fulli-Lemaire Samuel
Published: January 2020

Il peut sembler tentant de réduire l’évolution contemporaine du droit français de la famille à un mouvement de privatisation : la prééminence de l’individu conduirait à une remise en cause généralisée des réglementations étatiques dans une matière en passe d’être reconstruite autour des droits fondamentaux et des figures contractuelles. Il est indéniable que cette description recèle une part de vérité, néanmoins une analyse plus poussée, et servie par une approche comparatiste, conduit à une conclusion plus nuancée. La privatisation du droit de la famille, en effet, continue de se heurter à des obstacles considérables et l’essor du contrat n’est pas d’une ampleur telle que le statut en ait été rendu obsolète. Bien au contraire, c’est encore ce dernier qui se trouve au coeur des problématiques les plus débattues du droit de la famille.
Le droit successoral en Russie et en France : étude comparative
Authors: Mathieu Marie-Laure , Vladimirovna Rostovtseva Natalia
Published: January 2020

L’étude du droit successoral d’un État offre un remarquable point de vue sur les orientations politiques, économiques et sociales de celui-ci. S’il est, pour une large part, le fruit de ces orientations, il en est aussi le révélateur, ainsi qu’un outil privilégié pour qui entend infléchir celles-ci. Dans cette optique une étude comparative du droit russe et du droit français permet de révéler à la fois les convergences, mais aussi les remarquables divergences entre les deux systèmes, fondés sur des conceptions relativement éloignées du rôle de la famille dans la société. Cette étude, fruit d’une étroite collaboration, a pour ambition d’ouvrir ces perspectives.
La parité en France et en Allemagne
Authors: Fondimare Elsa , Marguet Laurie
Published: January 2020

En France comme en Allemagne, la prise en compte de l’enjeu d’égal accès des femmes et des hommes aux fonctions politiques a conduit à l’adoption d’actions positives. Toutefois, en France, l’opposition de principe du Conseil constitutionnel contre les mesures de quotas par sexe en 1982 a conduit le constituant à intervenir en 1999 pour inscrire dans la Constitution l’objectif d’égal accès. Celui-ci s’est fondé sur un registre de justification spécifique au contexte français, par le renvoi au concept de «parité » . Au contraire, en Allemagne, les mesures de quotas ont été adoptées spontanément par les partis politiques, aboutissant à une plus grande efficacité des mesures qu’en France. L’intervention du constituant ou du législateur n’a pour cela pas été nécessaire ; il n’est du reste pas certain qu’elle aurait été juridiquement possible. Il semble néanmoins que l’écart entre les deux États, tant au regard du registre de justification des actions positives que de leur mise en oeuvre, tende à s’atténuer, notamment en raison de l’intervention commune des législateurs français et allemands pour favoriser l’égalité réelle des femmes et des hommes, au-delà de la simple sphère politique.
Biens publics, biens communs, fonction sociale de l’État. La lagune de Venise et le statut des Valli salse di pesca
Authors: Laffaille Franck
Published: January 2020

Pour la Cour de cassation italienne – qui tranche en 2011 une question juridique qui fait débat depuis des décennies – les valli salse di pesca de la lagune de Venise relèvent de la catégorie des biens publics. La Cour semble aller plus loin, passant d’une logique de biens publics à une logique de biens communs, opérant un lien entre «biens communs / droits fondamentaux / État social » . Avec la notion de biens communs, ce n’est plus la césure «biens publics / biens privés » qui semble au coeur du débat mais la fonction que le bien peut accomplir au sein de la communauté. Adviendrait le temps de la démocratie des biens communs. Tant la théorie doctrinale – sur les traces d’Ostrom – que le raisonnement du juge apparaissent critiquables. La démocratie des biens communs n’existe pas, les valli salse di pesca sont des biens privés.
La validité formelle des mariages traditionnels musulmans conclus à l’étranger en droit international privé tunisien à la lumière du droit comparé
Authors: Elbalti Béligh
Published: January 2020

La validité formelle des mariages solo consensu du droit musulman classique célébrés à l’étranger pose problème en Tunisie. En effet, une partie de la doctrine tunisienne est clairement hostile à l’idée de la réception de tels mariages dans l’ordre juridique tunisien. Cependant, une analyse du point de vue du droit international privé montre qu’une telle attitude n’est pas toujours fondée : selon la loi et la jurisprudence des tribunaux tunisiens, pour qu’un mariage célébré à l’étranger soit considéré comme valable quant à sa forme, il suffit qu’il ait été célébré en la forme admise dans le pays de sa célébration (lex loci celebrationis). La même règle doit être appliquée même lorsqu’il s’agit d’un mariage célébré selon la forme traditionnelle du droit musulman dans un pays qui admet une telle célébration.

The image of Poland in modern Russian mass media and among Russian students
Authors: Gurkin Alexander , Skvortsov Konstantin
Published: January 2020

The article discusses the image of Poland, the Poles, and Russia-Poland relations, presented by the Russian mass media in recent years. To analyze this image, the authors reviewed a number of publications that appeared in Russian publications in 2014–2018. At the same time, it was necessary to recall the historical causes of the Russian-Polish contradictions, from the early Middle Ages to the 20th century. The authors assess the relevance of the historical heritage for the modern politics of the two countries and make an attempt to determine the influence of the image of Poland created in the Russian media on the everyday consciousness of the Russian students. For this, a survey of first-year students of the St. Petersburg State Technological Institute was conducted. The survey results and comments are provided in this article.
As an issue: what decides that citizens feel safe in their state
Authors: Zieliński Jacek
Published: January 2020

A safe state is a well and clearly organized state. A state in which all citizens are guaranteed a stable existence and have a sense of confidence in their own development. Achieving this status is conditioned by legal provisions, which are the basic instrument for regulating and determining the desired social relations. The key role belongs to the functioning of the lower-level administration, which – as the author claims – cannot be blamed for the way the law is applied, within which limits and in which it is to operate. The use (lawmaking) of the law depends on the political parties sitting in parliament and creating the composition of the executive (the government comes from parliament), and their representation (members of parliament) – on our civic involvement in the election.
The ethical and legal aspects of robotics: the european perspective
Authors: Vasilyev Anton , Vasilyeva Olga
Published: January 2020

The article is devoted to a critical review of the European Parliament Resolution of February 16, 2017 on the regulations in the field of robotics. The authors analyze the approaches of the creators of the law in terms of perception of autonomous robots as subjects of law and pay attention to the legal liability for damage caused by robots. The authors conclude that the concept of robots as the subject of law and the possibility of endowing robots with artificial intelligence with the qualities of a legal or electronic entity are arguable. First of all, the legal personality of robots raises the problem of responsibility and protection of the rights of potential victims. The resolution of the European Parliament emphasizes the need for such a legal structure that will ensure the harmonization of the interests of developers and sellers of autonomous robots, users and victims – the imposition of liability on the manufacturer or liability insurance.

Las TIC como estrategia metodológica para desarrollar la expresión oral en adolescentes Kichwa hablantes
Authors: Rojas Leon Elizabeth Del Rocio
Published: January 2020

El trabajo aborda los puntos de vista de la autora alrededor de las diferentes apreciaciones y cuestionamientos que se han hecho y hacen alrededor de la enseñanza–aprendizaje del idioma inglés en estudiantes kichwa hablantes: ¿Cuáles son las razones para que los estudiantes ecuatorianos mantengan niveles bajos de dominio del idioma inglés? La integración de la tecnología en el aula EFL (English Foreign Language) motivará a los estudiantes de habla kichwa a buscar el aprendizaje y les facilitará el desarrollo de diálogos exitosos y aumentará su dominio del inglés.  Los profesores de idiomas necesitan una sensibilidad cultural, así como la capacidad de diseñar aulas virtuales que motiven a los estudiantes a seguir el aprendizaje cultural y los ayude a comunicarse con personas de diferentes culturas.  El uso de un aula virtual para la enseñanza del inglés proporcionará herramientas con el que los estudiantes ya están familiarizados, y también será un medio para desarrollar habilidades lingüísticas mientras se comunican y educan a los demás. Además, los estudiantes kichwa hablantes tendrán la oportunidad de desarrollar sensibilidad y apreciación cultural, lo que aumenta su motivación para poder interactuar con otros cuyas culturas son diferentes a las suyas.

Published: January 2020

En el Ecuador, la cultura “Chimbo”, se ubicó en el mismo sitio donde hoy se asienta la ciudad de San José Chimbo, se caracterizó por un amplio conocimiento de las técnicas de la agricultura, hilandería, alfarería y el pastoreo. Los vestigios encontrados a lo largo de la investigación, muestran una cerámica de textura rústica y áspera, las vasijas llevan en el cuello una especie de anillos, producidos con un tubo de carrizo, con ojos en formas de pepa de café. Los “Guarangas”, por su parte, tienen las mismas características que los Chimbos y se entiende que estos pueblos originarios conservaban, además, sus  lenguas, que eran una mezcla entre la barbacoa, cañarí y panzaleo (Guamán, 2018). Es decir, que la lengua kichwa, aparece posteriormente con las conquistas de los Incas y relaciones comerciales entre estos pueblos (Itier, 2015).
El lenguaje digital en el magisterio del Papa Francisco
Authors: Portillo Ríos Rixio Gerardo
Published: January 2020

El lenguaje es un aspecto fundamental de la comunicación, el cual evoluciona y se adapta a los cambios propios del pensamiento humano, a través de sus diferentes expresiones. Por su parte, la iglesia también hace uso del lenguaje para la transmisión de su mensaje, por lo que la forma en la que se comunica con sus seguidores condiciona la efectividad del mismo. El Papa Francisco es el primer Papa latinoamericano en la historia y su elección en 2013 significó un hecho trascendente que cambió muchos de los paradigmas en el pontificado. Por lo que se hace necesario analizar el uso del lenguaje digital en el magisterio del Papa Francisco, a través de un estudio de análisis de contenido bajo una metodología documental, la cual evidenció las nuevas formas de expresiones  usadas por el pontífice de acuerdo a los destinatarios del mensaje, la estructura simbólica de los términos empleados y sus significados.

QUEM TEM MEDO DO ENADE? UM ESTUDO ACERCA DAS HABILIDADES DE LEITURA CONFIGURADAS NA PROPOSTA DE AVALIAÇÃO DAS PROVAS DE “FORMAÇÃO GERAL”
Authors: Luiz Fernando Teixeira
Published: January 2020

Entre os grandes problemas que afetam o cenário educacional contemporâneo, encontram-se as dificuldades de estudantes do Ensino Fundamental e Ensino Médio, bem como de egressos dos cursos de graduação, na realização de exames de âmbito estadual e nacional (SARESP, ENEM, ENADE etc). Recentes pesquisas atestam que, possivelmente, a origem de tais impasses resida nas deficiências e fragilidades no processo de formação de leitores, uma vez que o aluno não adquire a habilidade de fazer inferências e detectar uma informação implícita. Considerando esse quadro, o presente estudo tem como objetivo central problematizar a proposta de avaliação inscrita nas provas do ENADE, verificando como as habilidades de leitura se tornam elemento preponderante para a resolução dos exercícios. A rigor, pretende-se analisar o caderno de “Formação Geral”, contemplando apenas uma amostragem de três questões. Cada uma foi extraída de três provas diferentes (Pedagogia (2011), Administração (2015) e Ciências Biológicas (2017)). Os dados coletados foram processados e devidamente analisados à luz das recentes teorias da leitura e das reflexões contemporâneas sobre avaliação.
A SUBJETIVIDADE NA FORMAÇÃO DO LEITOR LITERÁRIO NO ESPAÇO DO PROGRAMA BALE
Authors: Soares Bezerra Keutre Gláudia da Conceição , Pessoa Sampaio Maria Lúcia
Published: January 2020

Este trabalho tem como foco o estudo do Programa BALE (Biblioteca Ambulante e Literatura nas Escolas) como espaço mobilizador da subjetividade na formação do leitor. O objetivo é identificar os sentidos subjetivos que são mobilizados na atuação dos participantes no que concerne à sua constituição leitora, tendo como base teórica o estudo da subjetividade na perspectiva histórico-cultural. No tocante a metodologia, trata-se de uma pesquisa de cunho qualitativo, com suporte nos postulados da Epistemologia Qualitativa, que considera a pesquisa como um espaço dialógico e o conhecimento como um processo construtivo-interpretativo. Com base no pressuposto metodológico apresentado, a construção da informação se deu a partir do uso do questionário aberto. Os resultados preliminares indicam que ao atuarem no Programa BALE, os sujeitos desenvolvem sentidos subjetivos que transformam suas atitudes com relação à leitura e consequentemente despertam e/ou ampliam a atuação como leitores.
LEITURA E FORMAÇÃO DO LEITOR: A CONSTRUÇÃO DE EFEITOS DE SENTIDOS NO PROCESSO DE INTERAÇÃO VERBAL
Authors: Henrique Marta Aparecida Broietti , Vidal Amorim Neuraci Rocha
Published: January 2020

Este trabalho apresenta uma contribuição para a elaboração de atividades de leitura e formação do leitor com base em alguns conceitos ligados aos estudos do discurso. Com finalidade didática, realiza uma discussão conceitual a respeito das condições de produção e memória discursiva, noções da Análise do Discurso (AD) de orientação pecheutiana, para dar suporte a práticas de leitura em sala de aula. Faz uma breve recuperação do percurso da AD e de noções que oferecem a possibilidade de uma análise discursiva, bem como analisa uma materialidade linguística a fim de mostrar como as concepções teóricas podem favorecer o desenvolvimento de um trabalho de leitura na escola. As considerações finais apontam para a necessidade de identificação de procedimentos de análise cuja função seja facilitar ao leitor o reconhecimento de que os sentidos não são constituídos pelos textos, mas pelas interações verbais.
