RESUMO: Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar a lateralidade e a destreza manual em crianças com Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA). Do ponto de vista da motricidade humana, a lateralidade contribui para o processo de maturação motora. Figura-se entre as principais características do autismo o atraso nas habilidades motoras grossas e finas, com piora progressiva no quadro. Analisar o nível de lateralidade do indivíduo com TEA torna-se importante por possibilitar uma direção na intervenção motora com o intuito de melhorar a funcionalidade do autista e sua qualidade de vida. A amostra deste estudo foi composta por oito crianças, alunos de uma instituição de ensino pública, do sexo masculino, com idade média de 8,75±1,83 anos e diagnosticadas com TEA com base no DSM-V. Os resultados mostraram que os participantes do estudo parecem apresentar lateralidade destra e, também, melhor desempenho com a mão preferida em uma tarefa de destreza manual. Observou-se que, na tarefa que exigiu maior atenção e destreza, a diferença no desempenho das mãos foi significativa. Já na tarefa com menor demanda atencional e de destreza manual, o desempenho entre as mãos não foi significante, porém foi nesse momento que foram observados os maiores erros na execução. A motivação pode ser uma variável fundamental para o desempenho motor em tarefas que avaliam o tempo de execução. É importante uma maior ênfase no desenvolvimento da motricidade desses indivíduos durante a fase escolar para diminuir as dificuldades motoras e, consequentemente, melhorar a qualidade de vida, sensação de bem-estar, autonomia e interação social.
Predictors and geographic analysis of road traffic accidents in Leon, Nicaragua
Authors: Toval-Ruiz Christian , Rojas-Roque Carlos , Hernández-Vásquez Akram
Published: December 2020

ABSTRACT: Objective: To identify environmental factors present in areas with high density of road traffic accidents (RTA) in Leon, Nicaragua. Methods: The analysis included all accidents recorded by the Police Department in León City, from January to June 2017. All crashes were georeferenced, and data were collected from the environment elements within a perimeter of 20 meters from the site in which accidents occurred with a pre-tested data collection instrument. We specified a Poisson regression model to estimate incidence rate ratios (IRR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) to determine environmental factors associated with the event incidence. For the identification areas with high, medium, and low occurrences of crashes, kernel density around points in which RTA occurred were estimated. Results: Out of 667 recorded crashes, 90% involved men aged 15-40, and motorcycle accidents represented 60% of injuries or deaths. Environmental factors that were positively associated with RTA included good road conditions (adjusted IRR = 1.36, 95%CI 1.13 - 1.63) and the existence of bicycle lanes (adjusted IRR = 1.64, 95%CI 1.29 - 2.10). Environmental characteristics associated with higher speeds and heavier accidents can increase their incidence. Conclusion: We found that high-foot-traffic commercial or touristic centers are three areas with high density of crashes. Local authorities can use these findings to promote road safety measures in high-incidence areas in León City.

“INSTINTO DE NACIONALIDADE” E OS CONTOS “AURORA SEM DIA” E “A PARASITA AZUL”: UMA PROPOSTA DE LEITURA SINCRÔNICA PARA MACHADO DE ASSIS
Authors: LOTUFO MARCELO
Published: December 2020

Resumo Este ensaio propõe lermos o conhecido artigo de Machado “Instinto de nacionalidade” lado a lado com dois dos contos publicados pelo autor no mesmo ano em Histórias da meia-noite: “A parasita azul” e “Aurora sem dia”. É comum a crítica machadiana olhar para “Instinto de nacionalidade” como um texto que aponta para a ficção mais ambiciosa do autor, escrita quase uma década depois. Eu proponho, entretanto, que o ensaio pode ser visto como um programa do autor para os contos que escrevia no mesmo período, quando tentava articular a sua relação com o Romantismo sem abrir mão da sua independência criativa.
INÍCIO E FIM DE MEMÓRIAS PÓSTUMAS DE BRÁS CUBAS: CONEXÕES COM A BÍBLIA, A ESCRAVIDÃO E A RETÓRICA
Authors: PROENÇA PAULO SÉRGIO DE
Published: December 2020

Resumo Início e fim são posições estratégicas. O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar o papel estrutural desses limites narrativos nas Memórias póstumas de Brás Cubas, em que as Escrituras estão presentes tanto na abertura quanto no fecho. As principais fontes teóricas são Del Lungo (2003), Bakhtin (1987), Hutcheon (1987), Fávero (1994), Duarte (2008), Aristóteles (2005) e Quintiliano (2015). Machado fez livre uso das fontes bíblicas, de forma paródica e carnavalesca, para denunciar os desarranjos da sociedade de seu tempo, como a escravidão, em convergência com assumido pessimismo; o autor tem consciência do papel estrutural das partes da narrativa romanesca e as maneja com habilidade retórica e ficcional.
A CRIADAGEM SERVIL E AS TENTATIVAS DE REGULAÇÃO POLICIAL DOS TRABALHOS DOMÉSTICOS EM FORTALEZA, 1880-1887
Authors: Rodrigues Eylo Fagner Silva
Published: December 2020

Resumo: Este artigo trata da tentativa de aplicar em Fortaleza a postura municipal que objetivava regulamentar a contratação de criados de servir. Propõe-se que tal processo seja entendido a partir de um movimento mais amplo, observado em todo o país, de controle da mão de obra dos trabalhadores nas cidades, particularmente dos que prestavam serviços domésticos. São utilizadas variadas fontes, principalmente da Postura de Alocação de Criados de Servir, o Livro de Matrícula de Criados e o Arrolamento da População de Fortaleza de 1887. Todas foram produzidas pela Secretaria de Polícia no mesmo período e são iniciativas complementares que atendem à finalidade de envidar uma polícia das famílias, ou uma polícia preventiva de determinado segmento social. Tal projeto se viabilizaria na medida em que se lograsse pôr os trabalhadores domésticos sob a tutela dos chefes de família empregadores, por meio da matrícula de cada doméstico na polícia e da obrigação de portarem uma caderneta, documento em que os patrões fariam constar avaliações positivas ou negativas acerca dos criados. Como hipótese geral, defende-se que tais medidas, partindo do poder público por intermédio da instituição policial, eram tentativas de controlar a liberdade dos pobres na cidade, inclusive dos ex-escravos, que em Fortaleza continuaram servindo nos domicílios dos antigos proprietários.
APAGANDO A NOTA QUE DIZ ESCRAVA: EFIGÊNIA DA SILVA, O BATISMO, O COMPADRIO, OS NOMES, AS CABEÇAS, AS CRIAS, O TRÁFICO, A ESCRAVIDÃO E A LIBERDADE (LUANDA, C. 1770-C. 1811)
Authors: Ferreira Roquinaldo , Guedes Roberto
Published: December 2020

Resumo: Mediante registros de batismo da freguesia de Nossa Senhora da Conceição de fins do século XVIII, o artigo analisa aspectos da escravidão urbana em Luanda. Salienta que, em um contexto marcadamente impactado pelo tráfico atlântico de cativos, o batismo e o compadrio serviram aos pais, sobretudo às mães, como profilaxia política contra a deportação por meio do comércio de cativos. O simples fato de ser batizado e de receber nome cristão diferenciava os batizados e seus genitores das milhares de cabeças e crias que não recebiam nomes cristãos no ritual do batismo, posto que eram destinadas ao tráfico atlântico de cativos. Isto significa que a hierarquia escravista se manifestou explicitamente nas formas de nomeação cristãs. Assim, não obstante suas dimensões religiosas, católicas ou não, o batismo e o compadrio (re)definiam estatutos jurídico-sociais na cidade, diferenciavam livres de forros e escravos e podiam levar à alforria. Conclui-se que o cristianismo católico, a escravidão em Luanda e o comércio atlântico de cativos estavam umbilicalmente ligados.

Published: December 2020

Abstract: The objective of this work was to determine the nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium released by N-fertilized Urochloa brizantha straw, desiccated before sowing of no-tillage soybean (Glycine max) in succession. The pasture was grown in three paddocks, each fertilized with one N rate (0, 150, or 300 kg ha-1), and assessed at two desiccation periods (60 or 15 days before soybean sowing), in four replicates. Nitrogen fertilization of U. brizantha pasture increases N and K cycling and the release of these nutrients to the subsequent soybean crop. The quantity of K released by U. brizantha straw fertilized with 150 or 300 kg ha-1 N (about 80 kg ha-1 K) offsets that contained in an export of up to 4 Mg ha-1 soybean grains, assuming zero K losses in the system. An early desiccation of the U. brizantha pasture does not improve K uptake by the soybean crop, since 50% of the nutrient is released in the first 20 days after desiccation. The dynamics of P release from U. brizantha straw (about 6 to 10 kg ha-1 during the soybean crop) is not influenced by N fertilization and the time of pasture desiccation.
Fracture bi-linear model parameters and brittleness of high-performance concretes for paving: why fatigue tests matters and cannot be spared?
Authors: Balbo José Tadeu , Severi Andrea Arantes , Cervo Tatiana Cureau , Cargnin Andréia Posser
Published: December 2020

ABSTRACT: Fracture tests on two high-performance concrete for pavements were performed using the wedge-split test. The results allowed perceiving the same specific fracture energy for both concrete. However, the crack opening during the tests as well as the characteristic length of the materials resulted in roundly distinct behaviors in terms of brittleness. Previous fatigue studies for both concretes are then fairly readdressed pointing out the unavoidable needs for studying the concrete brittleness as a parametric way for selecting suitable concrete proportions and materials as well as to reach its microstructural behavior in order to acquire an appropriate judgment about its fatigue performance.
Numerical evaluation of the slab effective width in steel-concrete composite box girder bridges
Authors: Nicoletti Renato Silva , Souza Alex Sander Clemente de
Published: December 2020

ABSTRACT: Bridges are structures built to overcome obstacles and allow continuity of transport routes. In the search for efficient construction systems, steel-concrete composite structures, especially box girder bridges, emerged. The American AASHTO and European EN 1994-2-2 standards present design procedures for this type of bridge, but there are still doubts about which portion of the concrete slab contributes to each web strength in composite section (effective width). The present paper aims to evaluate, by numerical analysis in the Abaqus® software, the concrete slab effective width and to verify whether the expressions for its calculation in composite I-girder bridges are valid for box girder sections. After analyzing the results, it was found that the standards recommendations for composite I-girder cannot be applied directly to box girders. Finally, based on the numerical analysis, an equation was proposed to calculate the effective width of steel-concrete composite box girder bridges.
Unruly (Disruptive) Passengers: Problems of Counteraction
Authors: Chuchaev Alexandr , Gracheva Yulia , Malikov Sergey
Published: December 2020

Disruptive behavior of passengers that poses a real danger for air transportation is recognized as a serious problem both in Russia and abroad. A considerable volume of information on this problem is being accumulated, while international and national law systems are developing a complex of specific normative legal means of counteracting such behavior. As the number of legal instruments is growing, the number of debatable issues is also increasing, and they need to be settled at the international and national levels, as well as at the level of individual companies. Specifically, they include: the introduction of «zero tolerance» towards intoxicated persons (alcohol, drug, substance intoxication); specifying the rules of sobriety examination, strengthening control over the sale of alcohol in duty-free zones or the prohibition of such sale; changing the rules for keeping a register of persons guilty of air offences, designating a unified authorized body and providing for a possibility to enforce pre-trial restrictions on passengers; developing legal approaches to using airline security services to ensure the safety of flights; determining and institutionalizing the mechanism of compensating the damage inflicted by an undisciplined passenger on an airline or on other persons; developing the rules of qualifying crimes under Art. 213 and 267.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, or raising the question of de-criminalizing the latter. The authors present a statistical description of disruptive behavior of aircraft passengers, outline the key stages in the development of international legislation in this sphere, analyze most common ways of counteracting undisciplined passengers and offer their suggestions on improving the existing approaches to preventing disruptive behavior of passengers using international experience.
Life Orientations and Aspirations of the Penal System's Employees, Depending on Their Level of Self-Efficacy
Authors: Tsvetkova Nadezhda , Kulakova Svetlana
Published: December 2020

The authors discuss the problem of developing the self-efficacy of penitentiary systems employees. It is an urgent problem because this personal meta-quality of Russian penitentiary systems employees has not been studied sufficiently. At the same time, according to available research, a high level of self-efficacy makes it possible even for a moderately gifted person to achieve significant results. The paper presents the results of an empirical study carried out by the authors in 2018. They surveyed 117 penitentiary systems employees with the purpose of researching their self-efficacy, identifying its connection with life orientations and motivation for achievements (aspirations). The aim of the study was the verification of the hypothesis that certain psychological characteristics of employees hinder the development of their self-efficacy - inadequate motivation for achievements (aspirations) and insufficient awareness of the meaningfulness of life. The verification method for the hypothesis was psychological testing: self-efficacy level methodology by J.E. Maddux and M. Sherer (as modified by A.V. Boyarintseva); «MAS» motivation study methodology by M.L. Kubyshkina; «Life Orientations» test by D.A. Leontyev, as well as methods of mathematical statistics for data processing (comparative analysis using Mann-Whitney U-test, Pearson correlation analysis). It is noted that the surveyed employees have a rather high level of self-efficacy in «substantive activity», while the self-efficiency in «interpersonal communication» is low. The authors present the results of a comparative analysis of data from two groups selected depending on how well this parameter is developed, and on their gender. The correlation data analysis results demonstrated a strong positive correlation between both parameters of self-efficacy - substantive activity and interpersonal communication - with all indicators of the general level of awareness of the meaningfulness of life. The authors conclude that insufficient competence of employees in the sphere of interpersonal communication, competitiveness that increases with age, insufficient awareness of the meaningfulness of some aspects of life hinders the development of their self-efficacy, which is more typical of female employees. The authors also present a structure of the process of improving the self-efficacy of penitentiary systems employees.
Main Directions and Experience in Implementing State Policy of Anti-Corruption Education in the Russian Federation, the Republic of Belarus and Germany (Comparative Legal Aspect)
Authors: Kozlova Elena , Taranova Tatyana , Budnetskiy Nikolay , Kazachkova Zemfira
Published: December 2020

This article reviewed the experience of the Russian Federation, the Republic of Belarus and Germany in formulating and implementing State anti-corruption education policies. The Russian Federation does not have any positive changes in terms of its world ranking on prevention and combating of corruption, the Corruption Perception Index, so the Republic of Belarus, a country of the post-Soviet area, was selected for a comparative legal study, as well as Germany, due to its consistently high ranking and similarity of its legal system with Russia. A study of national anti-corruption legislation and education in general and anti-corruption education in particular showed that it is not only in Russia that there is no systematic approach to anti-corruption education as a preventive measure against corruption offences. Although anti-corruption education has received considerable attention at the national level in each of the countries examined, the measures taken to promote it are ad hoc and not systematic. National legislation does not contain regulations governing education and there is no logical link between various actors involved in anti-corruption education. The results of the study revealed shortcomings of Russian legislation in the area of anti-corruption education and concluded that the achievements of the Republic of Belarus and Germany in combating corruption were most likely linked to other areas and measures to combat and prevent corruption but not to anti-corruption education. It has been shown that in order to increase the effectiveness of anti-corruption education measures, Russia needs to apply international acts regulating not only anti-corruption issues but also educational activities and build a system of social relations in this area with all actors involved in educational activities, on the basis of interconnectedness and interdependence.

Published: December 2020

As south-south investments increase so do the issues experienced by investing companies. One of these is the impact of culture. This article analyzes the effects of the subsidiary country culture on an investing firm’s organizational culture and the managerial practices used to address them. Data is gathered from cultural databases, a company-wide survey and semi structured interviews. Descriptive statistics are used to reveal country and organizational culture differences, with content analysis to expose management responses. There is a clear difference between the firm’s Vietnamese and Peruvian workers, with the company’s practices more amenable to the Vietnamese employees. Recognition of this has resulted in a number of initiatives to reduce its impact. The study’s results offer suggestions that may be valued by other foreign companies interested in operating in Peru and may be especially relevant to Southeast Asia and Asian companies interested in investing in or looking to start operations in Latin America.

Published: December 2020

Learning Analytics (LA) aims to analyze the data generated by both students and teachers in online environments in order to promote actions to improve teaching and learning processes. The results of such analyzes can help teachers to know their students’ study processes, as well as being able to assist with the verification and correction of both educational activities and practices. For students, LA can help with reflection and self-regulation of learning. However, despite its benefits, institutions have difficulties in adopting it. In this sense, an instrument that can support the use of LA is the Maturity Model (MM), which has been used in different knowledge areas in order to indicate an improvement roadmap for organizations. Hence, this paper aims to present the assessment results of a MM proposed for the adoption of LA in Higher Education Institutions, called MMALA. The evaluation focused on the model composition and was carried out through a questionnaire addressed to LA researchers and professionals. After conducting analyzes, both qualitative and quantitative, suggestions for improvement for the proposed model were identified, and the model was validated, supporting its further development.

Published: December 2020

There is evidence that the use of digital games based on multisensory tools provides benefits in different dimensions of learning for students with special educational needs. However, the use of these tools in early childhood and primary education classrooms to promote the inclusion of such students has not been treated in depth. The aim of this paper is to analyze how the participation of a group of teachers in a professional development program focused on the integration in the classroom of games based on multisensory technologies contributed to the evolution of their attitudes about the adoption of these technologies in school contexts from an inclusive perspective. In this research, a mixed method with a sequential explanatory strategy has been used. The techniques and instruments used, interviews and questionnaires, have allowed us to collect data on the evolution of the concerns that arose after the training received in the framework of the European project INTELed. The results show that the teachers highly valued the collaborations that emerged during the project, and that they experienced an evolution towards higher levels of concern regarding sustainability and transfer in this type of innovations in the classroom.
A Aprendizagem de Programação Apoiada pelo Modelo Social Aberto do Estudante
Authors: Ferreira Vinicius Hartmann , Reategui Eliseo
Published: December 2020

This article presents the implementation of the Open Social Student Model in the virtual learning environment of an introductory computer programming course in higher education. The Open Social Student Model presents, in a visual and interactive way, a representation of the students' performance and that of their colleagues, thus allowing them to compare, evaluate and reflect about their own performance. As introductory programming courses have a high failure and dropout rate, the aim of this study has been to investigate how the metacognitive scaffolding provided by the interaction with the Open Social Student Model could contribute to the learning processes. To achieve this goal, a quasi-experiment was carried out involving 40 students during one semester, following a quali-quantitative approach. Results showed that the students used the Open Social Student Model to evaluate and monitor their own performance, to organize their studies and identify colleagues who could provide them support or who could be helped by them,. However, changes in the students' meta-cognitive awareness were not observed when comparing pre-test and post-test results. Thus, the study led to the conclusion that students who already master their metacognitive processes and know how to apply them in their learning process are the ones who can benefit the most with the use of the Open Social Student Model.
La competencia digital de los preadolescentes gallegos/as antes de la pandemia: ¿y ahora qué?
Authors: Vila-Couñago Esther , Rodríguez-Groba Ana , Martínez-Piñeiro Esther
Published: December 2020

The lockdown suffered in spring 2020 involved, among other changes, the widespread application of online training at all educational levels, highlighting not only problems related to technological resources and connectivity but also to students' formative deficiencies, such as a level development of the digital competence (DC) too limited to fulfil the ongoing challenges. In this context, we present the results of a study carried out in Galicia during the 2018-2019 academic year in order to delve into 6th-grade students' digital competence; a mixed methods research composed of a first qualitative phase, a multiple-case study, and a second one, quantitative, in which an assessment test of the DC was applied. The results attained show an average level of 5.96 out of 10 in DC, with an important difference between the two components of this punctuation; namely, knowledge and skills (M=5.10) and attitude (M=8.04). The case studies also allow us to observe: information-search processes carried out unsystematically and whose results are not adequately contrasted; differences between genders in the communicative area; scarce problem-solving skills; too basic content-creation strategies, and differences between teenagers’ attitude towards security and their actual behaviours. The conclusions stress the role of school in the development of DC in a digitalised future.

Drug interactions for elderly with respiratory disorders and times of COVID-19: a systematic scoping review
Authors: Forgerini Marcela , Schiavo Geovana , Lucchetta Rosa Camila , Mastroianni Patricia
Published: December 2020

Background: The elderly people have high morbimortality associated with respiratory disorders, in addition to the presence of other safety risk factors, such as the use of potentially inappropriate medication and the occurrence of drug interactions. Objective: Considering the current pandemic scenario, it was intended to identify explicit criteria-based tools that reported drug interactions between potentially inappropriate medication and respiratory system disorders and possibly worse prognosis of COVID-19 infection. Methods: A systematic scoping review was conducted until February 2020. Study characteristics of explicit criteria-based tools, and potentially inappropriate medication, drug interactions, and therapeutic management, were extracted. Results: Nineteen explicit criteria-based tools were included. Nineteen drug interactions and 17 potentially inappropriate medications with concerns for three respiratory disorders (asthma, chronic pulmonary obstructive disease, and respiratory failure) were identified. The most frequent pharmacological classes reported were benzodiazepines and beta-blockers. For clinical management, the tools recommend using cardioselective beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, and angiotensin II type I receptor blockers, and benzodiazepines with a short or intermediate half-life. Conclusion: Considering the increased risk of COVID-19 infection in the elderly, drug interactions and the use of potentially inappropriate medication associated with the occurrence of adverse drug events in the respiratory system may also worsening COVID-19 infection in patients with uncontrolled respiratory disorders. Thus, it is essential to assess drug therapy in use, to identify safety risks, and monitor the elderly in general and those with a worse prognosis concerning COVID-19, promoting patient safety.

Published: December 2020

Este artigo apresenta o resultado de uma pesquisa, realizada no mês de maio de 2020, com um grupo de pedagogos que atuam na Educação Infantil ou nos Anos Iniciais da rede de ensino público do estado de Santa Catarina. Em tempos de pandemia, muitos desafios são postos ao sistema educacional e, em especial, aos professores. Nesse sentido, o objetivo da pesquisa foi conhecer quais as percepções que estes profissionais têm sobre a prática pedagógica que estão desenvolvendo via ensino remoto e online, bem como os desafios encontrados. Foi realizada uma investigação quali-quantitativa por meio de aplicação de questionário e realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas. O resultado evidenciou o quanto esse momento está sendo difícil, denotando que não houve tempo para o diálogo e para planejar as estratégias adotadas de acordo com as peculiaridades destas duas importantes etapas educacionais. Além disso, a pesquisa nos mostra a importância de a formação inicial destes do Pedagogo dar maior ênfase ao letramento midiático e ao uso das tecnologias digitais no cotidiano pedagógico.
VARIÁVEIS DA EXPANSÃO DA REDE FEDERAL DE EDUCAÇÃO TÉCNICA E TECNOLÓGICA

Published: December 2020

O notável crescimento quantitativo pelo qual passaram, nos últimos anos, os Institutos Federais de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia, em todo Brasil, tem despertado inquietações de pesquisadores de todo o país sobre a configuração organizacional deste tipo de instituição. Tal como as outras organizações integrantes da Rede Federal de Educação Profissional, o Instituto Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (IFRN) apresenta uma configuração organizacional escolar atípica, ao integrar vários subsistemas de educação sob o mesmo “guarda-chuva” infraestrutural e administrativo. Além disso, é possível perceber a desuniformidade que ocorreu nesse processo de expansão. As metas estabelecidas pelo MEC não foram cumpridas 100%, nem tão pouco foi encontrada explicação desse crescimento de acordo com as variáveis propostas. Estados considerados de potencial crescimento, tem números extremamente baixos, deixando-os em desvantagem quando se fala em democratização do Ensino Médio.
The Effect of Heat Treatment on the Structure and Hardness of Welded Joints in Steel 7CrMoVTiB10-10
Authors: Rzeźnikiewicz Agnieszka , Żołnierek Mateusz
Published: December 2020

The article presents results of tests concerning the effect of heat treatment on the structure and hardness of submerged arc welded joints made in steel 7CrMoVTiB10-10 (T24). The tests revealed that the welds made of steel 7CrMoVTiB10-10 required post-weld heat treatment at a temperature 750°C. The heat treatment was performed in order to protect welded structures from cracking during transport and operation as well as to prevent the development of secondary hardness.

La inundación de 1714 de la Ciudad de México: impacto, consecuencias y dicotomía entre riesgos naturales e intereses económicos
Authors: García Torres Adrián
Published: December 2020

RESUMENLa Ciudad de México es un ejemplo paradigmático de un asentamiento en un territorio en riesgo. Durante el periodo colonial, los cambios ecológicos que en el valle de México se produjeron tuvieron como consecuencia un aumento en la frecuencia e intensidad de las inundaciones. En nuestra contribución analizamos el impacto que tuvo el evento de inundación de 1714, sus causas y las decisiones que se tomaron por las autoridades civiles para la reconstrucción y la prevención. Especialmente dedicamos un importante interés al conflicto que hubo en Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe debido a las modificaciones del cauce del río Guadalupe por la Hacienda de Santa Ana Aragón, que provocaron el anegamiento de la población.PALABRAS CLAVECiudad de México, inundaciones, desastre, siglo XVIII, ciencia y técnica. TITLEThe fl ood of 1714 in Mexico City: a paradigmatic example of the dichotomy between natural risks and economic interestsABSTRACTMexico City is a paradigmatic example of a settlement in a territory at risk. During the colonial period, the ecological changes that occurred in the Valley of Mexico resulted in an increase in the frequency and intensity of floods. In our contribution we analyze the impact that the flood event of 1714 had, its causes and the decisions that were made bythe civil authorities for the reconstruction and the prevention. Especially we dedicate an important interest to the conflict that there was in Nuestra Señora of Guadalupe due to the modifications of the course of the Guadalupe River by the Hacienda of Santa Ana Aragón, that caused the flood of the village.KEY WORDSMexico City, floods, disaster, 18th century, science and technology.
García Malo: esperanzas y temores ante su traducción de la «Ilíada» en 1788
Authors: Rodríguez Morín Felipe
Published: December 2020

ResumenHabiendo tenido que sufrir las burlas de varios de sus colegas escritores, algunos de ellos amigos suyos, a causa de unos desventurados sonetos publicados en 1784, García Malo se decidió a dar a la estampa en 1788 su traducción de la «Ilíada». Suponemos que, de esa manera, mediante la traslación por vez primera al idioma castellano de una de las más excelsas cumbres de la poesía, pretendía nuestro autor redimirse ante la opinión pública de su anterior fracaso. Sin embargo, el miedo a volver a incurrir en la crueldad de críticas anteriores, cuestión que podía verse ahora agravada por su situación personal, al hallarse comprometido en matrimonio con una persona de una clase social bastante más baja que la suya, propició que nuestro autor echara mano de toda una suerte de recursos que contribuyesen a atemperar el rigor de las evaluaciones públicas y, en cualquier caso, a desviar sus posibles reproches hacia la parte técnica de su trabajo.PALABRAS CLAVEIgnacio García Malo, «Ilíada», traductor, utilidad, temor. TITLEGarcía Malo: hopes and fears before his translation of the «Iliad» in 1788ABSTRACTGarcía Malo had been ridiculed by some of his fellow writers, several of which were his friends, because of some unfortunate sonnets published in 1784. That is why, in 1788, he decided to print his own translation of the «Iliad». We suppose that, by translating one of the most sublime works of poetry into Spanish for the first time, he was trying to atone for his earlier failure in the eyes of public opinion. However, he feared incurring again in the cruelty of his previous criticism, a situation which could get worse now that he had become engaged to someone from a lower social class. This concern caused our author to draw upon an entire array of resources which may contribute to moderate the harshness of public evaluations, and, in any case, to divert possible reproach about the technical part of his work.KEY WORDSIgnacio García Malo, «Iliad», translator, utility, fear.

Coronaviruses are a big identified group of viruses that could result in sickness in humans and animals. It was confirmed that many of these viruses caused respiratory diseases among humans and their symptoms range from popular colds to more serious diseases, such as the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). The recently detected Coronavirus (called SARS-CoV-2) causes the COVID-19 pandemic, which causes a serious threat worldwide. There was no previous knowledge of this virus before the outbreak of Wuhan city in China in December 2019.  However, there is progress in defining, understanding and dealing with this virus.  In this review, we are focusing on the common questions regarding coronavirus transition and spread, and how to prevent the infection.
Hair Discrimination is Racist
Authors: Anderson Jantina
Published: December 2020

Black girls are at greater risk than other girls for receiving citations due to dress code violations and talking back to teachers, as well as for much less severe behaviors, such as gum chewing, defiance, and failure to comply with prior discipline. Further, these disciplinary measures have a greater likelihood of excluding Black girls from the classroom and schools. When taking a closer look at a recent trend around the dress code policy infractions, it is clear that some policies are discriminatory, if not racist.

Microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV) acoplada a Espectroscopia de energia dispersiva de raios-X (EDS) tem como princípio de funcionamento a utilização de feixes de elétrons de pequeno diâmetro para explorar a superfície da amostra em estudo e identificar elementos químicos presentes. Borboletas são potenciais bioindicadores da qualidade ambiental, sendo possível observar em algumas espécies o processo de migração, e desta forma, tornam-se vítimas, involuntariamente, de dispersão de metais. O presente estudo teve como objetivo identificar e realizar uma análise semiquantitativa da presença de metais pesados em asas da espécie Hamadryas februa. Os exemplares foram coletados no campus da Universidade do Vale do Paraíba (UNIVAP), São José dos Campos, SP, em três locais distintos: borboletário; interior de um fragmento de Mata Atlântica e entorno do Centro de Planejamento e Desenvolvimento da Educação (CEPLADE). Foram selecionados no total, cinco espécimes de borboletas para remoção de um fragmento da asa inferior, e imediatamente, realizada a soltura dos exemplares. Os fragmentos foram fixados em porta amostras, seguindo o processo de secagem, metalizados com ouro e analisados em Microscópio Eletrônico de Varredura. Análises semiquantitativas foram realizadas com base na porcentagem atômica total dos metais encontrados em cada amostra sendo obtidos os seguintes valores: ferro (0,28%), manganês (0,74%), níquel (0,77%), cobalto (2,32%), cobre (4,96%), zinco (11,71%), bromo (12,83%), alumínio (19,57%), chumbo (21,79%) e mercúrio (24,98%). Segundo as análises, as amostras apresentaram concentrações acentuadas de chumbo e mercúrio. Este trabalho pode indicar que borboletas da espécie Hamadryas februa são capazes de acumular em suas escamas, metais pesados.

Published: December 2020

Em função da pandemia da COVID-19, professores das escolas brasileiras estão enfrentando diversos tipos de dificuldades que nunca haviam experienciado. A partir de tal situação, professoras experientes, que atuam como mentoras no Programa Híbrido de Mentoria, trabalham no sentido de se reinventar como docentes perante o distanciamento social e, ao mesmo tempo, auxiliar professores iniciantes (PIs) a lidar com os desafios deste período. Apresenta-se neste trabalho trocas entre três mentoras da educação infantil e suas PIs em um espaço virtual, sobre experiências, práticas pedagógicas e sentimentos referentes ao período da pandemia. Dentre as principais dificuldades citadas pelas participantes, destacam-se: manter contato com as crianças e suas famílias; desigualdade de acesso aos recursos tecnológicos; desenvolvimento de educação remota para crianças pequenas. A iniciativa das mentoras em realizar um encontro virtual com as PIs aponta a relevância de espaços para conversas entre pares, principalmente durante a pandemia, em que docentes experientes e iniciantes vivenciam sentimento de isolamento e intenso processo de aprendizagem sobre o que é ser docente nesse cenário.

Throughput and Outage Probability Analysis for Cognitive Radio-Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access in Uplink and Downlink Scenarios
Authors: Madan H.T. , Basarkod Prabhugoud I.
Published: December 2020

Non orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) in cognitive radio (CR) network has been recognized as potential solution to support the simultaneous transmission of both primary and secondary users. In addition, CR-NOMA can also be used to serve multiple secondary networks in overlay cognitive radio networks. The aim of our work is to increase the secondary user’s throughput without compromising in QoS requirements of the primary users. Our presented work analyses the performance of power domain NOMA in cognitive radio networks for both uplink and downlink scenarios. The primary aspect of the work is to investigate the impact of power allocation on spectrum efficiency and fairness performance of CR-NOMA. Objective function is to maximize the overall throughput under the QOS constraints of the users. We have derived closed form expressions for optimized power allocation coefficient(α) for CR-NOMA uplink and downlink communications. Parameters causing the channel outage, have been examined and conditions for outage probability is derived for CR-NOMA communication. Finally, we have presented the simulation results to validate the mathematical models that are developed for power allocation coefficient and outage probability.
