Los diccionarios argentinos de 'barbarismos': análisis glotopolítico de los publicados entre 1890 y 1903
Authors: Lauria Daniela
Published: June 2020

En este artículo se analiza, desde el enfoque glotopolítico, una serie de cuatro obras lexicográficas monolingües del español de la Argentina publicadas entre 1890 y 1903, que se agrupan en la categoría “diccionarios de barbarismos”. Se trata de instrumentos lingüísticos que se arrogan un carácter prescriptivo puesto que incluyen y, por extensión, excluyen ciertos usos y determinados vocablos, además de describir, calificar y valorar las divergencias léxicas entre el uso americano (por caso el argentino) y el peninsular en el momento de mayor auge del movimiento migratorio masivo que ingresó al país. A grandes rasgos, estos instrumentos lingüísticos dan cuenta de barbarismos, neologismos y extranjerismos y censuran su uso, tomando como parámetro la norma del castellano de Madrid. Aquí se argumenta que dichos dispositivos exponen sistemas de valores y concepciones dominantes sobre la lengua, que exceden ampliamente el ámbito de lo estrictamente lingüístico.
La morfología derivativa nominal en el zapoteco de San Pedro Mixtepec, Oaxaca
Authors: Ramos Pafnuncio Antonio
Published: June 2020

En este artículo se describe la morfología derivativa nominal del idioma zapoteco hablado en la comunidad de San Pedro Mixtepec, Oaxaca. En esta lengua existen cuatro morfemas utilizados para derivar sustantivos. El primero es el morfema nominalizador w- que se prefija a bases verbales o nominales para la derivación de sustantivos. El segundo es el morfema gièl-, el cual se prefija a bases adjetivales, verbales o nominales para derivar también nuevos nominales, incluso, en ciertos casos, se adhiere a verbos ya nominalizados. El tercero es el morfema derivativo ngw-, con sus alomorfos {ngw-}, {nkw-}, {ng-} y {n-}, el cual, al agregarse a bases verbales, deriva nombres de agentes y, al prefijarse a topónimos, deriva gentilicios. El último es el morfema derivativo para nombres de animales m- con sus alomorfos {m-} y {n-}. Este último sistema representa la reminiscencia de la gramaticalización de, por lo menos, dos elementos léxicos con orígenes del protozapotecano y protozoqueano, los cuales han pasado por varios procesos fonológicos hasta convertirse en el prefijo que actualmente ocurre al inicio de un gran número de nombres de animales.

In addition, three species have been rechecked and re-assigned to different genera, namely Amynthas tripidoporophoratus (Thai & Nguyen, 1993) comb. nov., Metaphire dranfocana (Do & Huynh, 1993) comb. nov., Metaphire anhumalatana (Thai & Huynh, 1993) comb. nov.
‘No radical critique ever comes from the centre’
Authors: Havas Adam
Published: June 2020

In addition to providing an overview of some of the major milestones of Professor Bruce Johnson’s scholarly trajectory spanning over three decades in the fields of popular music and (new) jazz studies, the subsequent dialogue represents a critical approach to dominant trends characterizing Western jazz historiography. Drawing on Johnson’s influential scholarly works as well as on his research experiences in Australia and Europe, the interview sheds light on the meaningful ways through which geographical differences are intertwined with epistemological distinctions related to the construction of global jazz histories. The thematic areas covered, such as the complex relationship between the notions of popular music and jazz, or the revolutionary potential of marginal positions to challenge conventional Anglo-European narratives, are conceptually connected to the emerging field of diasporic jazz research of which Johnson is one of the major pioneers. The particular dynamics stemming from the interviewer’s position as an Eastern European sociologist and a senior Australian popular music scholar lend a particular dynamic to the discussion over some relevant contemporary issues in global jazz scholarship.

Authors: Dami Zummy Anselmus , Tameon Sance Mariana , Saudale Jeheskial
Published: June 2020

The aim of the current study was to investigate the correlation of academic hope with academic procrastination; to determine the differences in the academic procrastination of both men and women; to understand why students conduct academic procrastination; and to know the academic hope of students. The study uses a mixed-method research design. The results showed that academic hope has a positive and significant correlation with academic procrastination; there is no significant difference between male and female students in any scale of academic hope and academic procrastination; the reason students conduct procrastination is “I generally delay before starting on work I have to do”; and the academic hope students are unique because it relates to God and parents.

Factors Determining the Success in Self-Evaluation of General Education School: The Case of Lithuania
Authors: Tumlovskaja Jelizaveta , Prakapas Romas
Published: June 2020

The self-evaluation of the quality of activities in general education schools in Lithuania was started in 2002. A number of scientific studies have been carried out during the process of design and application of quality self-evaluation tools; however, research showed that the essence of quality self-evaluation processes was not always understood. Meanwhile, there are examples of good practice in Lithuania that have been identified with an external quality evaluation of the schools. Therefore, this article addresses to the problem of the factors that determine the success of self-evaluation of quality in general education schools. The article is based on a case study strategy. Classical and content analysis methods were used to process the research data. The study concludes that the key factors of the success of quality self-evaluation in schools consist of a well-organized self-evaluation process, timely use of self-evaluation data, and an impact on organizational development in response to change challenges. Factors identified with the study are related to clear management decisions related to planning, responsible involvement of all community members, and integration of internal processes focusing on the challenges of educational process change. This helps to clearly understand the mission of the organization, and also provides a great foundation for the leadership of every member of the community and contributes to the development of their professional competencies.
Language, Ethics and "The Merits of Being Involved in Meaning". Review of Maria Balaska: Wittgenstein and Lacan at the Limit: Meaning and Astonishment
Authors: Livingston Paul
Published: June 2020

Working through Balaska’s deeply perceptive, elegantly written, and profoundly honest book, Wittgenstein and Lacan at the Limit, a reader steeped in the recent academic literature about either or both of its main figures may come to feel herself placed at what is, itself, a certain kind of limit.  The limit I mean is the limit of a familiar type of theoretical discourse about the constitution and structure of language and subjectivity as Wittgenstein and Lacan treat them: it includes the discourses that seek, for instance, to articulate how language and sense are constituted in the Tractatus, and thus what is really meant by “logical form” and “nonsense” there; or those that aim to comprehend the true relationship of our biological nature to language, culture, and the advent of freedom in Lacan; or, again, those that try to find, in either thinker’s works (or both), the precise location of the delicate logical buttonhole that would alone permit us entry, from within everyday language and life, to the absoluteness of an ineffable beyond.   These discourses all treat of language and life, but handle these phenomena (so we might say) at arm’s length, theorizing the structure of each and the form of their relationship in such a way as to establish, ultimately, their mutual convertibility to one another, their mutual absorption into a third, more inclusive term (such as “nature” or “biology), or adduce translations from the dense theoretical matrices of one thinker’s treatment of them to the other’s (for instance, from the terminology of logic to that of psychoanalysis, or back again).  Balaska’s book, doing none of these things, rather succeeds in bringing out how an interconnected reading of the Wittgenstein of the Tractatus and Lacan may speak to and inform our response to a certain kind of experience that is characteristic for both thinkers, and typical as well of those moments and occasions of our lives in which we may find ourselves drawn to reflect on what meaning is and how we relate to it.

Germinações sucessivas em sementes de Eugenia spp.
Authors: Alonso Camila Rivero , Barbedo Claudio José
Published: June 2020

RESUMO Condições ambientais desfavoráveis para a germinação, letais para a maioria das sementes recalcitrantes, podem resultar na morte das primeiras mudas produzidas pelas sementes de Eugenia, mas não impedem a propagação, já que até mesmo frações dessas sementes podem germinar e produzir mudas. Esta poderia ser uma estratégia evolutiva importante e interessante para a sobrevivência das espécies e esse foi o objetivo desta pesquisa. Sementes de Eugenia foram colocadas para germinar e eliminou-se até a terceira raiz e/ou plântula desenvolvidas, colocando-se o tecido remanescente para germinar novamente. As sementes foram capazes de produzir novas raízes e plântulas após a remoção até da terceira raiz ou plântula produzida, mesmo quando metade da semente foi inicialmente removida. Isso confirma a regenerabilidade como uma estratégia evolucionária importante que pode ter contribuído para perpetuar as espécies de Eugenia.

Published: June 2020

With the rapid expansion of digital music formats, it's indispensable to recommend users with their favorite music. For music recommendation, users' personality and emotion greatly affect their music preference, respectively in a long-term and short-term manner, while rich social media data provides effective feedback on these information. In this paper, aiming at music recommendation on social media platforms, we propose a Personality and Emotion Integrated Attentive model (PEIA), which fully utilizes social media data to comprehensively model users' long-term taste (personality) and short-term preference (emotion). Specifically, it takes full advantage of personality-oriented user features, emotion-oriented user features and music features of multi-faceted attributes. Hierarchical attention is employed to distinguish the important factors when incorporating the latent representations of users' personality and emotion. Extensive experiments on a large real-world dataset of 171,254 users demonstrate the effectiveness of our PEIA model which achieves an NDCG of 0.5369, outperforming the state-of-the-art methods. We also perform detailed parameter analysis and feature contribution analysis, which further verify our scheme and demonstrate the significance of co-modeling of user personality and emotion in music recommendation.
A Recurrent Model for Collective Entity Linking with Adaptive Features
Authors: Zhou Xiaoling , Miao Yukai , Wang Wei , Qin Jianbin
Published: June 2020

The vast amount of web data enables us to build knowledge bases with unprecedented quality and coverage. Named Entity Disambiguation (NED) is an important task that automatically resolves ambiguous mentions in free text to correct target entries in the knowledge base. Traditional machine learning based methods for NED were outperformed and made obsolete by the state-of-the-art deep learning based models. However, deep learning models are more complex, requiring large amount of training data and lengthy training and parameter tuning time. In this paper, we revisit traditional machine learning techniques and propose a light-weight, tuneable and time-efficient method without using deep learning or deep learning generated features. We propose novel adaptive features that focus on extracting discriminative features to better model similarities between candidate entities and the mention's context. We learn a local ranking model based on traditional and the new adaptive features based on the learning-to-rank framework. While arriving at linking decisions individually via the local model, our method also takes into consideration the correlation between decisions by running multiple recurrent global models, which can be deemed as a learned local search method. Our method attains performances comparable to the state-of-the-art deep learning-based methods on NED benchmark datasets while being significantly faster to train.
Spatio-Temporal Attention-Based Neural Network for Credit Card Fraud Detection

Published: June 2020

Credit card fraud is an important issue and incurs a considerable cost for both cardholders and issuing institutions. Contemporary methods apply machine learning-based approaches to detect fraudulent behavior from transaction records. But manually generating features needs domain knowledge and may lay behind the modus operandi of fraud, which means we need to automatically focus on the most relevant patterns in fraudulent behavior. Therefore, in this work, we propose a spatial-temporal attention-based neural network (STAN) for fraud detection. In particular, transaction records are modeled by attention and 3D convolution mechanisms by integrating the corresponding information, including spatial and temporal behaviors. Attentional weights are jointly learned in an end-to-end manner with 3D convolution and detection networks. Afterward, we conduct extensive experiments on real-word fraud transaction dataset, the result shows that STAN performs better than other state-of-the-art baselines in both AUC and precision-recall curves. Moreover, we conduct empirical studies with domain experts on the proposed method for fraud post-analysis; the result demonstrates the effectiveness of our proposed method in both detecting suspicious transactions and mining fraud patterns.
Hindi-English Hate Speech Detection: Author Profiling, Debiasing, and Practical Perspectives
Authors: Chopra Shivang , Sawhney Ramit , Mathur Puneet , Ratn Shah Rajiv
Published: June 2020

Code-switching in linguistically diverse, low resource languages is often semantically complex and lacks sophisticated methodologies that can be applied to real-world data for precisely detecting hate speech. In an attempt to bridge this gap, we introduce a three-tier pipeline that employs profanity modeling, deep graph embeddings, and author profiling to retrieve instances of hate speech in Hindi-English code-switched language (Hinglish) on social media platforms like Twitter. Through extensive comparison against several baselines on two real-world datasets, we demonstrate how targeted hate embeddings combined with social network-based features outperform state of the art, both quantitatively and qualitatively. Additionally, we present an expert-in-the-loop algorithm for bias elimination in the proposed model pipeline and study the prevalence and performance impact of the debiasing. Finally, we discuss the computational, practical, ethical, and reproducibility aspects of the deployment of our pipeline across the Web.

Published: June 2020

Our research aims to improve the accuracy of Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) systems by means of machine learning. EEW systems are designed to detect and characterize medium and large earthquakes before their damaging effects reach a certain location. Traditional EEW methods based on seismometers fail to accurately identify large earthquakes due to their sensitivity to the ground motion velocity. The recently introduced high-precision GPS stations, on the other hand, are ineffective to identify medium earthquakes due to its propensity to produce noisy data. In addition, GPS stations and seismometers may be deployed in large numbers across different locations and may produce a significant volume of data consequently, affecting the response time and the robustness of EEW systems.In practice, EEW can be seen as a typical classification problem in the machine learning field: multi-sensor data are given in input, and earthquake severity is the classification result. In this paper, we introduce the Distributed Multi-Sensor Earthquake Early Warning (DMSEEW) system, a novel machine learning-based approach that combines data from both types of sensors (GPS stations and seismometers) to detect medium and large earthquakes. DMSEEW is based on a new stacking ensemble method which has been evaluated on a real-world dataset validated with geoscientists. The system builds on a geographically distributed infrastructure, ensuring an efficient computation in terms of response time and robustness to partial infrastructure failures. Our experiments show that DMSEEW is more accurate than the traditional seismometer-only approach and the combined-sensors (GPS and seismometers) approach that adopts the rule of relative strength.
Voice for the Voiceless: Active Sampling to Detect Comments Supporting the Rohingyas

Published: June 2020

The Rohingya refugee crisis is one of the biggest humanitarian crises of modern times with more than 700,000 Rohingyas rendered homeless according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. While it has received sustained press attention globally, no comprehensive research has been performed on social media pertaining to this large evolving crisis. In this work, we construct a substantial corpus of YouTube video comments (263,482 comments from 113,250 users in 5,153 relevant videos) with an aim to analyze the possible role of AI in helping a marginalized community. Using a novel combination of multiple Active Learning strategies and a novel active sampling strategy based on nearest-neighbors in the comment-embedding space, we construct a classifier that can detect comments defending the Rohingyas among larger numbers of disparaging and neutral ones. We advocate that beyond the burgeoning field of hate speech detection, automatic detection of help speech can lend voice to the voiceless people and make the internet safer for marginalized communities.
The Stanford Acuity Test: A Precise Vision Test Using Bayesian Techniques and a Discovery in Human Visual Response
Authors: Piech Chris , Malik Ali , Scott Laura M. , Chang Robert T. , Lin Charles
Published: June 2020

Chart-based visual acuity measurements are used by billions of people to diagnose and guide treatment of vision impairment. However, the ubiquitous eye exam has no mechanism for reasoning about uncertainty and as such, suffers from a well-documented reproducibility problem. In this paper we make two core contributions. First, we uncover a new parametric probabilistic model of visual acuity response based on detailed measurements of patients with eye disease. Then, we present an adaptive, digital eye exam using modern artificial intelligence techniques which substantially reduces acuity exam error over existing approaches, while also introducing the novel ability to model its own uncertainty and incorporate prior beliefs. Using standard evaluation metrics, we estimate a 74% reduction in prediction error compared to the ubiquitous chart-based eye exam and up to 67% reduction compared to the previous best digital exam. For patients with eye disease, the novel ability to finely measure acuity from home could be a crucial part in early diagnosis. We provide a web implementation of our algorithm for anyone in the world to use. The insights in this paper also provide interesting implications for the field of psychometric Item Response Theory.
Graphene: an exotic condensed matter and its impact on technology
Authors: Sharma Bijay Kumar
Published: June 2020

Graphene is a (2 + 1)-dimensional quantum electrodynamic system. The carriers have a vanishing mass and a relativistic velocity of 106 m/s, obeying charge-conjugate parity time symmetry. Graphene exhibits the Klein paradox, due to which, through spatial confinement, a bandgap can be opened in zigzag graphene nanoribbons for logic applications. The high Debye temperature of 2800 K ensures that phonons are frozen out and lattice scattering is suppressed at 300 K. The perfect crystallinity ensures that defect/impurity scattering is suppressed. The two together give very high electrical conductivity and electric mobility. This permits a current density of 108 A/cm2, about 100 times greater than that in copper. Single-layer graphene has a thermal conductivity of 3000–5000 (W/m)/K at 300 K, but graphite has K = 2000 (W/m)/K. This may open up few-layer graphene applications in thermal management of nanoelectronics. The half-integer quantum Hall effect and non-zero Berry phase have been verified in the laboratory. These magneto-transport properties are a result of the exceptional topology of the graphene band structure. Ballistic transport observable up to 300 K makes graphene an ideal replacement for silicon (Si) electronics. The optical response of graphene is determined by the fine-structure constant over a wide band of the visible spectrum, and hence, it is ideal for high-speed optical modulators. This paper describes a commercially significant process for synthesizing large-area fold-free and defect-free graphene.

Published: June 2020

Este artículo muestra resultados de una investigación aplicada, de corte educativo, cuyo objetivo fue identificar cómo leen críticamente estudiantes de Grado 10° de una institución educativa colombiana y cómo abordan sus maestros este proceso en el aula; la población se conformó con 90 estudiantes de ese Grado y 4 docentes del área Lengua Castellana. La información se recolectó con una prueba diagnóstica de lectura crítica mediante un cuestionario de 22 preguntas, unas de selección múltiple y otras abiertas, para detectar el nivel de desempeño de los estudiantes en cada una de las tres dimensiones de lectura crítica, y  una encuesta docente con 4 preguntas abiertas para conocer su concepción de lectura crítica, estrategias didácticas y textos preferidos para trabajarla. Los resultados mostraron deficiencias de los estudiantes en interpretación, reflexión y evaluación, y dificultades de tipo teórico y pedagógico de los profesores; por ello, como apoyo a los docentes, se diseñó un Plan de Clase soportado en una pedagogía dialógica crítica en el que se articula el contenido temático del área a la lectura crítica y a la producción textual.
Modus essendi y cognoscendi del individuo y del sistema cibernético en Gilbert Simondon
Authors: Ballabio Alessandro , Vargas Guillén Germán , Gamboa Sonia Cristina
Published: June 2020

Este artículo de reflexión presenta un estudio en el que se esclarece, a partir de Gilbert Simondon, la concepción de mentalidad técnica como esquema analógico para la comprensión filosófica de la individuación. Para ello, se exploran, en primer lugar, los temas individuo e individuación como sistemas de información. Posteriormente se establece la concepción de sistema hólico o cibernético como análogo a lo ya indicado. Seguidamente, se plantea, a la luz de lo descrito, el alcance de la individuación como posibilidad de significación de lo colectivo, a partir de una mentalidad técnica. Al cabo queda por establecer si puede darse una renovación de la ética, a partir de una ontología que reconoce las dimensiones de los sistemas hólicos como modus essendi y su comprensión como modus cognoscendi.

El criterio de claridad y distinción en la “Quinta meditación”
Authors: Angarita Cáceres Rafael Gonzalo
Published: June 2020

En este artículo de investigación se hace una comparación del modo como se presenta el criterio de certeza en las versiones latina (escrita por Descartes) y francesa (avalada por Descartes) de la “Quinta meditación”. Con el objeto de identificar elementos que permitan articular, de mejor modo, una respuesta a la disparidad encontrada, se propone remitirnos a unos apartados centrales de la obra de Descartes en los que se presenta el aludido criterio: Discurso y Principia. Los hallazgos realizados en este recorrido permitirán identificar un triple movimiento en la presentación del criterio decerteza en la “Quinta meditación”: el criterio implícito (una vez referido a la distinción y otra a la claridad, siempre en conexión con la evidencia); el explícito, pero solo en la versión francesa, y, finalmente, la enunciación explícita del criterio en las versiones francesa y latina
La herencia republicana en la teoría de las emociones políticas de Martha Nussbaum
Authors: Pinedo Cantillo Iván Alfonso
Published: June 2020

La relación entre emociones y deliberación pública constituye uno de los ejes investigativos más originales dentro del proyecto filosófico de Martha Nussbaum. Se trata de un conjunto de reflexiones que intentan desentrañar la naturaleza y estructura cognitiva de ciertas emociones morales, como la compasión, que desempeñan un papel relevante en la consolidación de sociedades democráticas, justas, abiertas y participativas. Si bien Nussbaum se declara heredera de ciertos rasgos característicos del liberalismo de Rawls, en este artículo de reflexión se indaga sobre los vínculos que su teoría de las emociones políticas guarda con la tradición de la filosofía política republicana de las últimas décadas, particularmente en lo que concierne con el ideario de una educación para la ciudadanía democrática, el fomento de virtudes cívicas y la preocupación de los ciudadanos por la suerte de los demás. Se trata, por tanto, de un aspecto poco estudiado dentro de la comprensión general del pensamiento y obra de la filósofa estadounidense, de tal forma que esta aproximación contribuye a esclarecer la trayectoria intelectual de una de las figuras más destacadas dentro del panorama ético- político contemporáneo.
Un sentido formativo implícito en la Educación Física: el rendimiento
Authors: Hincapié Bedoya Daniel
Published: June 2020

Este artículo es un producto asociado a la investigación “Sentidos formativos implícitos en el saber pedagógico del profesorado en formación de Educación Física” que forma parte de la Maestría en Motricidad y Desarrollo Humano de la Universidad de Antioquia. En ella se presenta el caso del rendimiento, como uno de sus resultados, entendido como lógica educativa fundamentada en la eficiencia y la productividad. Se utilizaron entrevistas semi estructuradas, audiencias con los profesores en formación, observaciones de clase y grabación de videosde clase. Se parte de una contextualización problemática en la que la pedagogía, el maestro y la enseñanza son sistemáticamente desplazados por una discursividad educativa justificada por las presiones del aprendizaje. A partir de un enfoque cualitativo, se practica una metodología soportada por la analítica interpretativa en la que se combinan diferentes modelos de análisis como el posestructuralismo educativo y el análisis de discurso sustentados sobre la base de la teoría fundamentada. Como conclusiones, se advierte el rendimiento como un sentidoformativo reconocido en las intencionalidades de los profesores observados y como una orientación captada, implícitamente, en el juego de significados que circulan alrededor de intereses técnicos, de una alta valoración por el saber disciplinar y del predominio de metodologías tradicionales en cuanto elementos constitutivos y configuradores del saber pedagógico de los profesores en formación.

A partir de los datos de la observación etnográfica en campo, del análisis de repositorios virtuales de estas experiencias y de la información teórica sobre el tema, el investigador propone una educación musical interactiva, basado en las ideas de Silva (2005), sobre la educación interactiva y de Aparici y Silva (2012), sobre la pedagogía de la interactividad. Para superar el determinismo tecnológico, se adoptaron los planteamientos de Dewey (2008) sobre la experiencia estética. Entre los principales hallazgos se encuentra que en Colombia ha hecho falta una educación musical intercultural, que los medios digitales pueden facilitar los cambios en las prácticas educativas si no se piensan de una forma meramente instrumental y que la interactividad y la experiencia estética surgen en la educación musical cuando se va más allá del mero desarrollode destrezas técnicas musicales.

Sujeto, síntoma, dispositivo y terapeuta: Una mirada hacia la responsabilidad subjetiva en el campo de la salud mental
Authors: Pérez Arizabaleta María Del Mar , Orejuela Gómez Johnny Javier
Published: June 2020

En la actualidad, la salud mental es un tema que genera preocupación. El incremento de personas diagnosticadas con trastornos mentales causa alarma a nivel mundial. La hospitalización y medicalización son “soluciones” puestas en dialogo y tensión con visiones que apuntan por tratamientos donde el sujeto construya un saber-hacer con su síntoma. En este último punto es en lo que se enfoca el presente artículo: discutir la responsabilidad subjetiva que tiene el sujeto dentro del tratamiento. Para lo anterior, se propone llevar a cabo la discusión de la responsabilidad subjetiva por medio de la disertación sobre de cuatro ejes de análisis: la concepción de sujeto y de síntoma, el dispositivo de tratamiento y la posición del terapeuta.
Strategic planning of freight transportation to support smart cities design: The Brazilian soybean case

Published: June 2020

Freight transportation can impact the effectiveness of smart city development if it is not well planned. Commodities with international flows such as soy can cause traffic in urban areas where ports are installed, negatively influencing economic (e.g. delays and fines), social (e.g. population quality of life) and environmental (e.g. intensification of pollutant and greenhouse gases emissions) dimensions. Thus, this paper aims to apply a location-allocation mathematical model to determine the ideal location of logistics integration centers - LICs dedicated to soybean transportation. We believe that, by properly locating structures that allow intermodality, the use of road transport would decrease by replacing it with intermodal alternatives with less environmental impact, reducing road congestion in urban centers under port influence. In addition, the total costs of the network would be optimized, promoting positive economic impacts on the soybean logistics chains. Therefore, eight scenarios were established varying the model's input parameters (such as investment and minimum volume of soybean moved through a LIC). The model was implemented in the Mosel language using the Xpress IVE solver version 1.24.24. The costs of each scenario were investigated, and the benefits related to the currently configuration (with no LIC) were pointed out. In the end, it was observed that the applied model might support government strategic planning (including, here, the design of smart cities).
Actions in inclusive education from Latin America for the world
Authors: Delgado Valdivieso Karina
Published: June 2020

The Countries in Latin America, in respect to education, have the responsibility to assume national and international law, given through declarations, letters, conventions and regulations that describe it as a service for all. Inclusive education performs a service that is equal for everyone, as well as it evidences new work challenges based on the learning needs of each student. Method. Qualitative research was carried out, which described the criteria adopted in the area of inclusive education in the different countries of the region. Quantitative research, which derived variables according to the different conditions presented by the students such as: social, intercultural and personal. Results The analyzes are described in i) reasons given to make an inclusive education; and ii) understand inclusive education according to new work challenges and the learning needs of each student, considering their social, intercultural and personal conditions. Discussion. These results show the need to propose, according to the context of Latin America, a Model of Actions in Inclusive Education, described in three dimensions: educational policy, conditions that the students present, and different actions derived from those conditions.

Published: June 2020

The main objective of this article is to highlight the contributions of the social practices of language in the teaching and learning process of reading and writing in primary education. In the methodological aspect, we conducted a thorough bibliographic review in order to understand the contributions of these social practices of language and their contributions to education.  We point out the readings that deal with this theme, based on the authors who highlight these aspects focused on the social practices of language. Of which we highlight Freire (2011), which addresses concepts on learning; Soares (2017), which clarifies the influence of culture on the learning process, Also Vieira (2020), which provides us with indicative appraisals on the educational discourse for a transformative school.
Development of the Energy Method and Study of Algorithms for Predicting the Takeoff Trajectory of Aircraft
Authors: Shevchenko A. M. , Nachinkina G. N. , Gorodnova M. V.
Published: June 2020

The article is devoted to the development and research of the method of predicting the events on the trajectory of takeoff, climb and overcome highrise obstacles on the course. The prediction method is based on the energy approach to flight control, created by us in previous works. The mathematical formulation of the method is the energy balance equation describing the mutual influence of all acting forces in the aircraft-engine-environment" system. In this article, the equation is extended to ground modes of movement along the runway. For this, a term is added to the equation that takes into account the action of braking forces from the chassis. The balance equation allows us to directly obtain an algorithm for calculating the length of the forward trajectory required for the accumulation of the required amount of terminal energy. Takeoff trajectory includes ground and air segments. Therefore, the possibility of overcoming the obstacle is fixed by the algorithm at the point of a possible decision to takeoff, taking into account the next air segment. This point is reached before the decision-making airspeed prescribed by the flight manual is reached. This advance warning of the possibility of takeoff improves situational awareness of the pilot, which reduces stress and reduces the risk of erroneous actions. A computer stand was developed for the research. Single launches and series of statistical tests are possible. Takeoff scenarios are generated in the stand operator window, as well as initial runway conditions, atmospheric disturbances, aircraft configuration, and obstacle coordinates are specified. The parameters of random errors in the takeoff weight and centering are assigned, as well as the noise of longitudinal overload measurements are set. A large volume of deterministic and statistical tests of algorithms for predicting events on the takeoff trajectory was performed at the stand. Using the statistical analysis module, the characteristics of the range prediction errors to the take-off decision point and the nose wheel separation point were calculated. Probability densities and histograms of error distribution over five characteristic zones of deviations from the mean are constructed. The confidence intervals for calculating the mathematical expectation are obtained. A prototype of an electronic indicator of the takeoff trajectory with marks of predictive characteristic coordinates has been developed.
