Published: August 2019

Este artigo advém do interesse de abordar as perspectivas metodológicas fundamentadas em Vygotsky e em seus estudiosos, propiciando o desenvolvimento e a organização do espaço educativo na educação infantil. Os objetivos são apresentar a pedagogia histórico-crítica como metodologia no espaço escolar; compreender a periodização do desenvolvimento infantil; verificar a organização do espaço educativo segundo a perspectiva histórico-cultural e analisar como a construção do espaço escolar é determinante para uma aprendizagem significativa. A metodologia utilizada foi revisão bibliográfica com observação do espaço escolar de uma EMEI, na cidade de Santa Fé do Sul/SP. Por meio da pesquisa realizada na escola, percebemos que aspectos relevantes para o desenvolvimento, os quais constam na teoria Vygotskiana, são contemplados na prática dessa instituição, ainda que os professores não saibam que a estão utilizando. Os espaços da creche são planejados e organizados com cantinhos e com brinquedos disponí­veis para o uso da criança, tais instrumentos são utilizados como objetos culturais, com isso ampliam sua vivência e também respeitam sua individualidade. Esse ambiente é estimulador e criativo, o que traz bem-estar tanto para a criança quanto para o adulto, porquanto são aspectos fundamentais para a efetivação do desenvolvimento humano. O espaço escolar é valorizado pela escola por ser flexível, uma vez que passa por modificações frequentes quando é conveniente e necessário. Dentro da perspectiva Vygotskiana que tem o professor como mediador, conclui-se que esse espaço escolar favorece a aprendizagem, em virtude de ser construído para que o desenvolvimento aconteça, assim sendo, respeita esses atores e sua cultura.
Lithostratigraphy of the Pietermaritzburg Formation (Ecca Group, Karoo Supergroup), South Africa
Authors: Bordy E.M. , Spelman S. , Cole D.I. , Mthembi P.
Published: August 2019

The Lower Permian Pietermaritzburg Formation is a mudrock-dominated, upward-coarsening stratigraphic unit in the lower Ecca Group (Karoo Supergroup) in the northeastern part of the main Karoo Basin of South Africa. The formation extends over most of the KwaZulu-Natal Province, and due to its lithology and the local climate, it is usually poorly exposed; hence the description is mainly based on borehole records. From a measured thickness of about 430 m south of the type area around Pietermaritzburg, the formation thins progressively northwards and pinches out against the Dwyka Group and pre-Karoo basement north of latitude 26° 30' S. This Lower Permian formation is considered a stratigraphic equivalent of the Prince Albert Formation in the southern part of the main Karoo Basin. The Pietermaritzburg Formation only preserves scattered, fragmentary plant fossil and invertebrate trace fossils, which are diagnostic of marine conditions (e.g. Helminthopsis). Based on its sedimentary facies characteristics and ichnofossil assemblages, the unit was probably deposited under low energy conditions on a northerly shallowing marine shelf that initially experienced deepening (during a major Artinskian transgression) and then shallowing in the early Kungurian.
Lithostratigraphy of the Skoorsteenberg Formation (Ecca Group, Karoo Supergroup), South Africa
Authors: Wickens H. de V. , Cole D.I.
Published: August 2019

The Middle Permian Skoorsteenberg Formation is part of the Ecca Group (Karoo Supergroup) of South Africa. It is also known as the ‘Tanqua fan complex’ due to its origin as a deep-water sedimentation unit associated with a prograding deltaic system. The Skoorsteenberg Formation crops out over approximately 650 km2 along the western margin of the Main Karoo Basin. It thins out in a northerly and easterly direction and therefore has a limited extent with cut-off boundaries to the south and north. It is underlain by the Tierberg Formation and overlain by the Kookfontein Formation, the latter being limited to the regional distribution of the Skoorsteenberg Formation. The Skoorsteenberg Formation has a composite thickness of 400 m and comprises five individual sandstone packages, separated by shale units of similar thickness. The sandstones are very fine- to fine-grained, light greyish to bluish grey when fresh, poorly sorted and lack primary porosity and permeability.

The Tanqua fan complex is regarded as one of the world’s best examples of an ancient basin floor to slope fan complex associated with a fluvially dominated deltaic system. It has served as analogue for many deep-water systems around the world and continues to be a most sought after “open-air laboratory” for studying the nature of fine-grained, deep-water sedimentation. The fan systems are essentially tectonically undeformed, outstandingly well exposed and contain an inexhaustible amount of information on the deep-water architecture of lower slope to basin floor turbidite deposits.

Total Synthesis of (–)-Picrotoxinin
Authors: W. M. Crossley Steven , Tong Guanghu , Lambrecht Michael J. , Burdge Hannah E. , Shenvi Ryan
Published: August 2019

We report a concise, stereocontrolled synthesis of the neurotoxic sesquiterpenoid, (–)-picrotoxinin (1, PXN). The brevity of the route owes to regio- and stereoselective formation of the [4.3.0] bicyclic core by incorporation of a symmetrizing geminal dimethyl group at C5. A series of strong C–C and C–H bond oxidations convert the C5 gem-dimethyl group to the C15 lactone of PXN. This counterintuitive strategy features the first example of demethylation (C–C bond cleavage) in total synthesis.

Authors: De Lira Ahualli Patrícia Maria , Lira de Abreu Natasha
Published: August 2019

Este artigo tem como tema central os Povos e Comunidades Tradicionais de Matriz Africana e de Terreiro, e a sua luta pelo reconhecimento de sua identidade, assim como pela preservação e proteção de suas tradições em um país escravocrata. Como ponto de partida há uma exposição de ferramentas de segurança jurídica presentes no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro que resultaram da afirmação desses Povos e Comunidades como sujeitos plenos de direito. Fruto de um processo de enfrentamento às desigualdades sociais de um povo oprimido surge organizações dentro dos terreiros, que serão retratadas a partir da perspectiva de vivências, na capital brasileira, dentro das organizações do Movimento Afrorreligioso. Em conclusão, com ase no retrato docenário em que essas organizações surgiram e se encontram atualmente, apresentaram-se possíveis contribuições para fortalecer a reconstrução dessas organizações, que se dispersaram, para o enfrentamento das perseguições aos Povos e Comunidades de Terreiro, que ainda se encontram em vulnerabilidade social em consequência do racismo religioso diante uma sociedade que não reconhece sua dívida histórica após a diáspora, e um Estado que tem o dever de reconhecer, valorizar e proteger a diversidade cultural.
O Puro e o Híbrido: o jogo de alteridades na formação representacional da Umbanda branca
Authors: Britto Cristina
Published: August 2019

Este estudo busca vislumbrar a complexidade da formação identitária do campo umbandista e perceber como, através do jogo de alteridades, ela foi se forjando, sempre tentando vencer a visão estigmatizada das tradições religiosas que a influenciaram. Também se propõe a investigar como alguns discursos essencialistas de representantes do candomblé, kardecismo e catolicismo influenciam a constituição da autoimagem umbandista, sempre balizada ambiguamente pela questão do purismo e da mistura (hibridização). Concebida genericamente por estas tradições como uma seita rudimentar, amoral e baseada na apropriação superficial e ilícita do panteão de outros cultos (demonização dos santos católicos e embranquecimento dos orixás), a Umbanda buscou sair da marginalidade e reivindicar o status de autêntica religião nacional valendo-se de diversas estratégias de construção de uma identidade própria em busca de reconhecimento e difusão social.

Authors: Araújo Junior Carlos Fernando de , Dias Eduardo Jesus , Conti Carmen Lucia Tozzi Mendonca , Ota Marcos Andrei
Published: August 2019

This study proposes a mapping of literature on the research and use of m-learning in the fields of Science and Mathematics, focusing on Basic Education, seeking to identify trends in Brazilian production and the promotion of competences for the 21st century. In order to do so, Portuguese language academic and scientific papers were investigated covering the period from 2014 to 2016. This is an exploratory study, with descriptive analysis supported by bibliographical and empirical references, using survey questionnaires based on a quantitative evaluation, in three private Brazilian schools in the state of São Paulo, in different levels of learning strategies development, using m-learning in their respective institutional projects. In face of data collection and results, we highlight the literature mapping (categorization of the works by thematic core and sub core) and the research carried out with students, teachers and managers; both scenarios allow us to have a panoramic view about the use of m-learning and, mainly, to consider the participants’ perception in the role of m-learning in the development of competences for the 21st century.

Authors: Scarton Elisson Spoladori , Schimiguel Juliano
Published: August 2019

As Tecnologias de informação e Comunicação - TICs são responsáveis por realizar grandes modificações nas tendências de ensino e na Matemática não é diferente. Partindo-se dos ensinamentos de Leontiev, a partir da Teoria da Atividade, em que afirma que o desenvolvimento do homem se dá pela necessidade de uma relação com o meio em que está inserido e com a satisfação de alguma necessidade. Assim, tal teoria no âmbito escolar, a atividade está vinculada à concepção de que o aluno precisa ser capaz de produzir significado para assim assimilar o conteúdo da aula. O objetivo deste artigo é investigar as possibilidades do uso do Mobile Learning como processo de melhoramento do ensino e aprendizagem da Matemática em sala de aula, partindo-se da teoria de Leontiev. A metodologia de abordagem descritiva, qualitativa, de Revisão Bibliográfica Sistemática, na qual foram selecionados 9 artigos, todos em Língua Portuguesa, publicados nos últimos dez anos, partindo-se das palavras-chave “Matemática”; “Mobile Learning” e “Teoria da Atividade”. Os resultados apontam que estamos sendo capacitados como professores nas novas eras digitais, fazendo suas aulas mais eficazes, tornando-as atrativas para que os estudantes não possam vê-las como uma aula mecanizada, mas sim aquela aula que dará ao aluno a capacidades de trocar experiências adquiridas em seu cotidiano.
Jogos digitais educacionais, práticas interdisciplinares e pensamento computacional: relações possíveis
Authors: Fernandes Julio Cesar Naves , Silveira Ismar Frango
Published: August 2019

É comum que as pessoas se utilizem do termo interdisciplinaridade quando por alguma razão, pretendem ultrapassar as fronteiras que cercam os limites da área em que se situam, ou ainda quando nos deparamos com um saber que não se encaixa em nada que já definimos anteriormente, ou seja, quando nos encontramos em uma situação que exige diferentes perspectivas do conhecimento. A crescente evolução dos recursos tecnológicos, aliada a características marcantes dos mesmos, como a portabilidade, adaptabilidade, pervasividade, interatividade, ubiquidade, entre outras, vem mostrando um grande potencial para promover sua utilização em muitos campos da Educação, entre os quais a Educação Matemática. A interdisciplinaridade pode ser o caminho que finalmente integre os campos da tecnologia e da educação, aproximando-os e trazendo os alunos mais próximos a situações da vida real em seus processos de aprendizagem. Entre as tecnologias digitais mencionadas, destacam-se os jogos digitais - embora os jogos físicos estejam presentes em sala de aula há muito tempo, os avanços tecnológicos permitiram que os jogos digitais venham ocupando papeis importantes no contexto educacional, convertendo-se atualmente em uma das principais tecnologias empregadas com fins educacionais. Nesse contexto, as competências do Pensamento Computacional se tornam um ferramental conceitual útil para se trabalhar com problemas mais próximos da nossa realidade, que em sua grande maioria envolvem saberes interdisciplinares. Nesse sentido, o presente artigo faz um arrazoado conceitual sobre interdisciplinaridade, de forma a gerar subsídios que permitam integrá-la a jogos digitais no desenvolvimento do Pensamento Computacional.

ANALYSIS OF THE RESPONSIBILITY OF GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONS IN RETURNING STATE LOSSES ACCORDING TO LAW NUMBER 30 OF 2014 ON GOVERNMENT ADMINISTRATION
Authors: Krisnamurti Joseph Harry , Gunawan Belinda
Published: August 2019

The passage Law Number 30 of 2014 on Government Administration has raised its own problems due to its clauses regarding legal subjects that could be charged with reinstating state losses. This is due to the fact that such Law provides that government institutions can be determined as the party that is responsible for reinstating state loss that have occurred, which contradicts with the definition of state loss as stipulated in the applicable state finance laws that position the state as the party suffering the loss when a state loss is incurred. This research has been conducted using a normative legal research method which aims to test consistency between the legal norms applied in Law Number 30 of 2014 and the laws on state finance. Result of this research demonstrates that government institutions cannot be designated as the legal subject responsible for state losses. Such stipulation is not legally logical as it asserts that government institutions that are in fact representatives of the State may be required to return or pay the state losses to the state. Therefore there needs to be a revision to the relevant provisions of Law Number 30 of 2014 in order for such law to be in line with the provisions that presently govern state finance.
BUDGET TURBULENCE AND BUDGET DEVIATION: DO LOCAL GOVERNMENT HAVE THE ABILITY TO REDUCE THEM?
Authors: Herianti Eva
Published: August 2019

The purpose of this study is to examine and analyse the effect of local governments’ ability on the relationship between budget turbulence and budget deviation. The study sample uses the regional budget (APBD) report and realization of a number of districts/cities throughout Indonesia encompassing the 2014-2017 period, while the analysis covers the period from 2015-2017. This study uses the least square approach with EViews analysis tool version 10 to test the hypothesis. Result of the study shows that budget turbulence has a positive and significant effect on budget deviation. The result also shows that the capacity of local governments can reduce the influence of budget turbulence on the budget deviation. Sensitivity tests using proxies of local governments not sampled by the main test also show consistent results. Finally, sensitivity test by area category proves that for the three categories, mainly western, central, and eastern Indonesia, the results are consistent with the main test results. The contribution of this study to the policies of the local governments is aimed to enhance efficiency of spending and increase productive spending to support the priority of government programs and encourage efficient, innovative and sustainable financing while maintaining the investment climate. Through several of these alternatives, the local government can overcome the conditions of resource instability that can threaten the effectiveness of the implementation of various programs.

Native Adverstising: Ads in Disguise as Editorials
Authors: Cornwell Sarah E.L. , Rubin Victoria L.
Published: August 2019

Native advertising, paid for by corporate funding, may fool news readers into thinking that they are reading investigative journalism editorials. Such misleading practice constitutes an internal threat to the profession of journalism and may further deteriorate mainstream media trust. If information users are unaware of the Native Ads original promotional nature, they may find themselves insufficiently informed or mislead by its content. This study investigates cases of Native Ads in terms of their contextual use, distinctive features, and likeness to editorials. LIS should aim to provide clear discernment guidelines and consider automated user alerts.

Published: August 2019

This paper offers a conceptual basis and describes elements for a multi-layered system to provide information users (newsreaders) with credible information and improve the work processes of the online news (content) producers. I overview criteria of excellence (what editors consider newsworthy) and how reporters (and traditional newsroom professionals used to) verify information to provide high quality of news. I compare the “traditional model of journalism” to the current journalistic practices of “news sharing a.s.a.p.” and identify certain processes that are currently either missing or could be complemented with automatic verification functions, capitalizing on Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Data-Mining (DM).
In - text citation function s of self ­ - citations: Implications for research evaluation practice
Authors: Zhao Dangzhi , Cappello Alicia
Published: August 2019

Self-citations have long been noted as a problem in citation analysis and are often excluded from the analyses based on the notion that self-citations may be included for egoistic or self-serving reasons. The present study, however, found that self-citations are less likely to function as nonessential citations than foreign citations, suggesting that self-citations should not be discounted in citation analysis, and should in fact be given more weight than foreign citations in weighted citation analysis. This study fills a gap in research on self-citations by examining the function of individual self-citation occurrences inciting articles as compared to foreign citations.

Institutional and Community Collaboration to Support New Approaches to Digital Archiving: A case study of the University of Saskatchewan Library and PAVED Arts artist-run centre
Authors: Lucky Shannon
Published: August 2019

Collaborations between traditional knowledge institutions and communities can have a significant impact on both partners when we look to the strengths each bring to a project rather than asking community partners to fit into established ways of working. This paper discusses my partnership as a researcher at the University of Saskatchewan Library and PAVED Arts artist-run centre leadership and how this project challenges the authority and utility of library standards. We propose a collaborative model that matches the infrastructure and technical expertise of the library with the contextual and historical knowledge PAVED has of their unique and locally important collection.

Published: August 2019

This panel argues that information professionals and literacy educators play an important bridging role between universities and community groups and stakeholders. We describe the context of universitycommunity knowledge exchange, which is increasingly expected, but remains under-supported and under-theorised, and consider new opportunities that exist to support and build capacity in researchers and communities to co-create, share, and use information. We focus on the training and professional development needed to position information professionals and literacy educators as knowledge brokers, and innovative projects that demonstrate their value and potential in this role.
Do Cultural Differences Impact on Intellectual Property Protection in the United States and China?
Authors: Chen Meihua , Jin Tao
Published: August 2019

In a knowledge economy, intellectual property is highly related to core competency of an organization. Without proper protection, the competitive advantage is vulnerable to imitation and counterfeiting. Intellectual property protection can be seen as information and knowledge activities that are taken to prevent trademark, patent, copyright, and trade secret infringement. Between the United States and China, there is an intense and enduring controversy on intellectual property protection. Many previous relevant studies on this issue adopted a legal and governance approach, rarely focusing on the effect of cultural differences on these information and knowledge practices. This paper reports the theoretical exploration portion of an on-going empirical research on the cultural influences that impact intellectual property protection in the two countries, aiming to draw some implications for the field of knowledge management.
The Impact of Telework on Information Professionals' Work Processes
Authors: Fulton Crystal
Published: August 2019

Telework is growing as an alternate work arrangement in both public and private sectors. Advocates of this new form of working claim that telework enhances employee efficiency and reduces work-related expenses, such as overhead for businesses and travel expenses for employees. However, alternate work experiments not only redesign the physical workplace, but also restructure work itself. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of telework on the work done by information professionals. Through combined methods of participant observation, interviews, and diaries, the work of twenty pairs of teleworking and at-office library and information professionals, matched by job, was investigated. The study revealed that although teleworkers and at-office workers performed similar amounts of professional and clerical work, work processes differed between the two groups. Teleworkers were often missing the information and collegial interaction necessary to complete work tasks at home. As a results, teleworkers tried to cope by repeating parts of tasks at home and by dividing work tasks according to available resources. At-office workers often compensated for absent teleworking colleagues by performing additional work tasks or by helping teleworkers locate work-related information. These improvised means of working revealed that teleworkers in this study were not persons working alone with control over all aspects of their work.

The Hidden Dimensions of Global Information Networks: What Price Privacy?
Authors: Halpin Edward F. , Wright Steve
Published: August 2019

Daily we provide new information about ourselves, when shopping, travelling, communicating on the Internet or telephone, or even when we are simply eating out at a local restaurant. The collection of information is a constant in our lives, with the commercial sector profiling every aspect of our behaviour, from the insurance policies we purchase to the beer we drink. Much of this data is gathered without consumers being aware of the extent to which their privacy and anonymity are being compromised. Whilst the criminal fraternity may also wish to misuse our personal information for fraud or theft, the motives of the largest agencies collating this data are much less obvious or transparent. A recent series of reports to the European Parliament has identified the emergence of new technologies of political control. Such technology can watch and listen to our every move, this is not fiction, although the key player, the US National Security Agency is the same secretive organisation that features in the movie, 'Enemy of the State'. The technology now exists to industrialise such surveillance procedures, with the NSA base at Menwith Hill (UK) having the capability to tap an estimated 2 million phone calls, faxes and emails per hour. Once analysed using artificial intelligence systems such as Memex, this information can be used to build a massive machinery of political supervision with little political oversight or accountability. This paper explores how such information is gathered, the types of documentation now held on us, the way in which it can be manipulated and managed to create universal profiling, and even to change or create virtual images of ourselves. At its heart are the key issues of privacy, dataveillance and political manipulation, which have a wide range of unanticipated consequences and implications that form many of the key concerns of this conference.
An Evaluation of Genetic Algorithm Solutions in Optimization and Machine Learning
Authors: Carrick Christina , Macleod Kevin
Published: August 2019

A genetic algorithm (GA) is a search algorithm in which a solution is evolved through natural selection. A new set (population) of solutions is created from a random partial exchange of information between the best solutions of the previous generation. This results in increasingly better solutions in successive generations. Traditional search methods have either been

Name that Tune! An Introduction to Musical Information Retrieval
Authors: Tague-Sutcliffe Jean , Downie Stephen , Dunne Shane
Published: August 2019

In the beginning, computers, as their name implies, had numerical processing capability. The development of word processing and database systems gave them verbal processing capability and of graphics cards and software spatial processing capability. Now, with the widespread availability of sound cards and MIDI files, we may claim, as well, that computers have musical processing capability.
The Long Road Ahead: Information Literacy Instruction in Canada’s Public Libraries
Authors: Julien Heidi

Rules of (Mis)Conduct: User Behaviour in Public Libraries
Authors: McKechnie Lynne (E.F.) , Dixon Christopher M. , Fear Jana , Pollak Angela
Published: August 2019

Unobtrusive observation in nine sites in two public libraries in Southern Ontario explored user compliance with posted rules of conduct. With the exception of children who were frequently loud and rambunctious, most users followed the rules. This finding is consistent with Goffman’s idea that behaviour in public places is governed by normative assumptions of public order.L’observation non obstructive effectuée dans neuf sites de deux bibliothèques publiques du sud de l’Ontario a examiné la conformité de l’utilisateur avec les règles de conduite affichées. À l’exception des enfants qui étaient fréquemment bruyants et querelleurs, la plupart des utilisateurs ont suivi le règlement. Ces résultats sont conformes avec l’idée de Goffman affirmant que le comportement dans les endroits publics est régi par des conventions normatives au sujet de l’ordre public.

Behind Closed Doors: The Hidden Intellectual Work and Images of Librarianship
Authors: McKechnie Lynne , Nilsen Kirsti
Published: August 2019

Unlike many professionals, much of the intellectual work of librarians takes place behind closed doors, hidden from those who actually use the resulting service. Research on user perceptions of collection development work in public libraries, (the Who Decides? study), revealed that collection development is a hidden intellectual responsibility. Brief interviews were conducted with 106 adults in twoCanadian public libraries. Only 40% identified library staff as being responsible for collection development. Others suggested a variety of decision makers, including users and “ the public” , committees of community leaders, government officials, publishers, and pre-existing lists. Most respondents indicated that they were guessing. They frequently used mental models to generate answers. The authors contend that at least part of the misunderstanding of librarians and their work may be attributed to its hidden nature. Why the public does not know that librarians select materials is considered along with the implications of these findings with respect to the image of librarians, and the staffing and funding of libraries.
FRBR and the Literary Work
Authors: Martel Marie D
Published: August 2019

This study seeks to create a bridge between the thought derived from the information science in connection with the concept of work in the context of the FRBR final report, and the thought developed almost simultaneously in relation with this concept, in the Anglo-American philosophy. We believe that the confrontation…Nous tentons de bâtir des ponts entre les réflexions issues des sciences de l’information à propos du concept d’œuvre dans le cadre du rapport final du FRBR et celles qui se sont développées, à peu près à la même époque sur ce concept dans le contexte de la philosophie anglo-américaine. Nous croyons que la confrontation de ces deux approches permet de mieux définir le concept d’œuvre, et clarifier la structure hiérarchique des entités au sein de laquelle cette œuvre est située dans le cadre des FRBR.
Pratiques d'indexation dans les bases textuelles structurées : application aux textes techniques sous format HTML
Authors: Ouerfelli Tarek , Lallich-Boidin Geneviève
Published: August 2019

Parvenir à un système de recherche d’information technique capable de donner en réponse une unité de texte pertinente nécessite en amont de l’indexation une phase de segmentation du texte en Unités Documentaires fines et cohérentes. Dans cet article, nous avançons quelques éléments sur la stratégie de segmentation qui pourra être adoptée dans un processus d'indexation d'un texte technique volumineux. La stratégie de segmentation adoptée sera présentée à partir des résultats d'une expérimentation menée sur plusieurs textes techniques sous format HTML. Cette stratégie se veut dynamique avec la prise en compte des différents médias qui existent dans les textes techniques (texte, figure, tableau, ....). Ainsi, l'Unité Documentaire à indexer, qui se trouve à l'intérieur de l'unité logique peut être une unité textuelle composée d'un ou de plusieurs paragraphes ou bien une unité composite de paragraphe, tableau et figure.
