Efficacy of Msplit Estimation in Displacement Analysis
Authors: Wiśniewski Zbigniew , Duchnowski Robert , Dumalski Andrzej
Published: November 2019

Sets of geodetic observations often contain groups of observations that differ from each other in the functional model (or at least in the values of its parameters). Sets of observations obtained at various measurement epochs is a practical example in such a context. From the conventional point of view, for example, in the least squares estimation, subsets in question should be separated before the parameter estimation. Another option would be application of Msplit estimation, which is based on a fundamental assumption that each observation is related to several competitive functional models. The optimal assignment of every observation to the respective functional model is automatic during the estimation process. Considering deformation analysis, each observation is assigned to several functional models, each of which is related to one measurement epoch. This paper focuses on the efficacy of the method in detecting point displacements. The research is based on example observation sets and the application of Monte Carlo simulations. The results were compared with the classical deformation analysis, which shows that the Msplit estimation seems to be an interesting alternative for conventional methods. The most promising are results obtained for disordered observation sets where the Msplit estimation reveals its natural advantage over the conventional approach.
Urban Systems Design: A Conceptual Framework for Planning Smart Communities
Authors: Tobey Michael B. , Binder Robert B. , Chang Soowon , Yoshida Takahiro , Yamagata Yoshiki , Yang Perry P. J.
Published: November 2019

Urban systems design arises from disparate current planning approaches (urban design, Planning Support Systems, and community engagement), compounded by the reemergence of rational planning methods from new technology (Internet of Things (IoT), metric based analysis, and big data). The proposed methods join social considerations (Human Well-Being), environmental needs (Sustainability), climate change and disaster mitigation (Resilience), and prosperity (Economics) as the four foundational pillars. Urban systems design integrates planning methodologies to systematically tackle urban challenges, using IoT and rational methods, while human beings form the core of all analysis and objectives. Our approach utilizes an iterative three-phase development loop to contextualize, evaluate, plan and design scenarios for the specific needs of communities. An equal emphasis is placed on feedback loops through analysis and design, to achieve the end goal of building smart communities.

Published: November 2019

Sustainable urban planning is essential in mediating the natural and built environments globally, yet, there is little progress as regards its attainment in developing countries. Rapid and unplanned urbanization continue to threaten the sustainability of many cities in Africa. By selecting Morogoro Municipal Council (MMC) in Tanzania as an example, this study applied well-known remote sensing techniques to understand the dynamics of urban growth and the implications for sustainable urban planning. The study analyzes spatio-temporal characteristics for eighteen years (2000–2018) based on urban land density using gradient and grid-based analysis to further examine land use and urban land density nexus. The results indicate declining urban land densities with distance to the city center, indicating a less compact and fragmented development at the urban fringes; and northward development with limited development to the south of MCC. The knowledge and understanding of the patterns of spatio-temporal conditions, land use planning, and management interventions in MMC are necessary for addressing the inadequacies associated with rapid urbanization within the study area. On this basis, we propose a shift from the modernist to the communicative planning strategy that strongly integrates the urban social, economic, and environmental imperatives, while being adaptable to evolving realities. This plan should also aim to curtail urban sprawl and create a viable city system and economically prosperous city structure for MMC.
Impact of Ethanol Plant Location on Corn Revenues for U.S. Farmers
Authors: Katchova Ani L. , Sant’Anna Ana Claudia
Published: November 2019

Ethanol production has rapidly expanded over the past few years. The opening of an ethanol plant can increase local demand for corn, pressuring increases in local corn basis. But how does this affect corn contract prices and revenues? At the farm level, the impact of an ethanol plant on local corn contract revenues is still unknown. Data from the USDA Agricultural Resource Management Survey suggests that corn contract revenues in counties with ethanol plants are higher than corn contract revenues in counties without ethanol plants at similar prices. We estimate the impact of ethanol plants on local corn contract revenues by running non-spatial and spatial difference-in-difference models. A statistically significant effect of ethanol plant location on corn contract revenues within the same county was not found, but rather a statistically significant effect of ethanol plants on corn contract revenues for farmers located in adjacent counties. Local competitive advantage, not the presence of an ethanol plant, may be the reason for observed higher revenues in counties with an ethanol plant. Therefore, policymakers should focus their resources in promoting greater efficiency in corn production to boost farmers’ revenues.
Open-End Funds for Sustainable Economic Growth in China: The Relationship between Load Fees, Performance, and Flows
Authors: Xiao Yaping , Qiao Haishu , Xie Ting
Published: November 2019

The financial market, including the fund market, has an increasingly important role in facilitating sustainable economic development. In this study, we examine whether investors react rationally to fund fees through the investigation of the impact of fee structures on investor behavior with open-end funds in China. We aim to determine whether performance influences the effect of the load fee on fund flows. Based on panel data that contained 240 open-end funds for the period of 2008 to 2017, we offer insight into the relationship between fee structure and the flow of open-end funds in China and find that investors react more sensitively to the load fee than operating expenses. Specifically, the coefficients of operating expenses were found to be insignificant in all regression analyses, while almost all the coefficients of load fees were statistically significant. In addition, our findings indicate that the load fee decreases net flow mainly through increasing redemption, and high load fees can make investors more rational to redeem funds with low performance. High load fees can influence investors to sell funds that perform worse in moderately performing funds, where a high load fee can increase investors’ rationality and motivate them to sell funds, resulting in the mitigation of the disposition effect. We also find that investors in larger funds and aggressive growth funds, as well as those who invest with institutional investors and higher liquidity, react more insensitively to load fees, which can be illustrated by the distraction effect.
Exploring Public–Private Partnership Scheme in Operation and Maintenance Stage of Railway Project
Authors: Rahman Herawati Zetha , Miraj Perdana , Andreas Azaria
Published: November 2019

Public–private partnership (PPP) has been extensively used in many sectors worldwide to provide alternative funding for public infrastructure. However, limited evidence found that this scheme was successfully adopted in railway transport particularly in the later stage of the project life cycle. Private participation during operation and maintenance stages are worthy of comprehensive research to cope with recovery of public investment and institutionalization problems. This research aims to analyze the potential of unbundling scenarios based on railway components by taking into account the Light Rail Transit (LRT) project in developing countries as the case study. A life cycle cost evaluation and sensitivity analysis were used to formulate a practical and regulatory framework for the macro-level of decision-making modeling. The findings indicate a possible scenario by considering the passenger demand, ticket price, and government support to generate the best option based on net present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR). The proposed alternative recommends an attractive investment return for private interest, encourages lower support for government subsidy, and offers a reasonable tariff for the users. The study also suggests future implications from the adoption of research findings which may affect policy formulation and railway industry as a whole.
Resistance to Regulation: Failing Sustainability in Product Lifecycles
Authors: Taylor Mark B. , van der Velden Maja
Published: November 2019

International policy and law have long sought to ensure that states regulate the negative impacts of production processes on people and the planet. Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 12 targets sustainable production and consumption; international conventions, such as the Basel Convention, or the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), and the International Labour Organisation Conventions, all seek to regulate toxic or labour-related impacts associated with industrial production. However, there is ample evidence that such impacts continue. At a time of increasing pressure to develop sustainable systems of production and consumption, we asked whether the existing legal frameworks are appropriate to the task of regulating for sustainability in consumer products. Drawing on research conducted into sustainability in the mobile phone lifecycle, this paper examines the regulatory ecology of hotspots of unsustainability in the product lifecycle of electronics. This paper finds that the interaction of regulatory disjunctures, business models, design of technology, and marginalisation combine to ensure that our systems of production and consumption are predisposed to resist regulation aimed at sustainability.
New Artificial Neural Networks Model for Predicting Rate of Penetration in Deep Shale Formation
Authors: Ahmed Abdulmalek , Ali Abdulwahab , Elkatatny Salaheldin , Abdulraheem Abdulazeez
Published: November 2019

Rate of penetration (ROP) means how fast the drilling bit is drilling through the formations. It is known that in the petroleum industry, most of the well cost is taken by the drilling operations. Therefore, it is very crucial to drill carefully and improve drilling processes. Nevertheless, it is challenging to predict the influence of every single parameter because most of the drilling parameters depend on each other and altering an individual parameter will have an impact on the rest. Due to the complexity of the drilling operations, up to the present time, there is no reliable model that can adequately estimate the ROP. Artificial intelligence (AI) might be capable of building a predictive model from a number of input parameters that correlate to the output parameter. A real field dataset, of shale formation, that contains records of both drilling parameters such as, rotation per minute (RPM), weight on bit (WOB), drilling torque (τ), standpipe pressure (SPP) and flow pump (Q) and mud properties such as, mud weight (MW), funnel and plastic viscosities (FV) (PV), solid (%) and yield point (YP) were used to predict ROP using artificial neural network (ANN). A comparison between the developed ANN-ROP model and the number of selected published ROP models were performed. A novel empirical equation of ROP using the above-mentioned parameters was derived based on ANN technique which is able to estimate ROP with excellent precision (correlation coefficient (R) of 0.996 and average absolute percentage error (AAPE) of 5.776%). The novel ANN-based correlation outperformed three published empirical models and it can be used to predict the ROP without the need for artificial intelligence software.
Statistic-Driven Proton Transfer Affecting Nanoscopic Organization in an Ethylammonium Nitrate Ionic Liquid and 1,4-Diaminobutane Binary Mixture: A Steamy Pizza Model
Authors: Mariani Alessandro , Bonomo Matteo , Passerini Stefano
Published: November 2019

Herein, we report on the theoretical and experimental investigation of the chemical equilibrium in a Ethylammonium Nitrate (EAN)/1,4-Diaminobutane (DAB) binary mixture displaying a significant excess of the latter component (namely, a 1:9 mole ratio). Both the neutral compounds, i.e., ethylamine (EtNH2) and DAB, present very similar chemical properties, especially concerning their basic strength, resulting in a continuous jump of the proton from the ethylammonium to the diamine (and vice-versa). Due to the significant excess of DAB, the proton is (statistically) expected to be bound to one of its nitrogen atoms, leading to the formation of a new (ternary) mixture containing DAB (ca. 80%), ethylamine (ca. 10%) and 4-amino-1-butylammonium nitrate (ABAN, ca. 10%). This is probed by means of SAXS measurements, showing LqE (low q excess) that increases over time. This feature tends to stabilize after approximately one day. When the measurement is repeated after one year, the LqE feature shows an increased intensity. Based on the results of our simulations, we suggest that this phenomenon is likely due to partial ethylamine evaporation, pushing the equilibrium toward the formation of ABAN.
HBV Infection in HIV-Driven Immune Suppression
Authors: Sarmati Loredana , Malagnino Vincenzo
Published: November 2019

Worldwide, approximately 10% of all human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected people are also chronically coinfected with hepatitis B virus (HBV). HBV infection has a poor prognosis in HIV-positive people and has been documented by an increased risk of developing chronic HBV infection (CHB), progression to liver fibrosis and end-stage liver disease (ESLD) and evolution of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Furthermore, in HIV patients, HBV-resolved infection is often associated with the appearance of HBV-DNA, which configures occult HBV infection (OBI) as a condition to be explored in coinfected patients. In this narrative review we summarize the main aspects of HBV infection in HIV-positive patients, emphasizing the importance of carefully considering the coinfected patient in the context of therapeutic strategies of antiretroviral therapy.
Conceptual Models and Calibration Performance—Investigating Catchment Bias
Authors: Buzacott Alexander J. V. , Tran Bruce , van Ogtrop Floris F. , Vervoort R. Willem
Published: November 2019

Many lumped rainfall-runoff models are available but no single model can account for the uniqueness and variability of all catchments. While there has been progress in developing frameworks for optimal model selection, the process currently selects a range of model structures a priori rather than starting from the hydrological data and processes. In addition, studies on differential split sample tests (DSSTs) have focused on objective function definitions and calibration approaches. In this study, seven hydrological signatures and 12 catchment characteristics from 108 catchments around Australia were extracted for two 7-year time periods: (1) wet and (2) dry. The data was modelled using the GR4J, HBV and SIMHYD models using three objective functions to explore the relationship between model performance, catchment features and identified parameters. The hypothesis is that the hydrological signatures and catchment characteristics reflect catchment behaviour, and that certain signatures and characteristics are associated with better calibration performance. The results show that a greater percentage of catchments achieved a better calibration performance in the wet period compared to the dry period and that better calibration performance is associated with catchments that have greater cumulative flow and a steeper flow duration curve. The findings are consistent across the three models and three objective functions, suggesting that there is a bias in the studied models to wetter catchments. This study echoes the need to develop a conceptual model that can accommodate a wide variety of catchments and climates and provides a foundation to optimise and improve model selection in catchments based on their unique characteristics.
How do Interactive Flood Simulation Models Influence Decision-Making? An Observations-Based Evaluation Method
Authors: Leskens Johannes G. , Brugnach Marcela , Hoekstra Arjen
Published: November 2019

Interactive flood simulations models are computer models that are usable for practitioners during work sessions, allowing demand-driven flood simulations together with domain experts. It is assumed among developers of such models that these interactive models better serve decision-making processes, resulting in better informed decisions about, for example, evacuation and rescue operations. In order to test this assumption, we present a method that uses observations to monitor and evaluate decision-making processes in work sessions where interactive models are applied. We present a theoretical framework as a basis for this method, based on theory of collaborative knowledge construction, and operationalize this into measurable metrics. We demonstrate our method in two cases of flood disaster management and illustrate and discuss the strengths and weaknesses.
Development of a tool for coding safety-netting behaviours in primary care: a mixed-methods study using existing UK consultation recordings
Authors: Edwards Peter J , Ridd Matthew J , Sanderson Emily , Barnes Rebecca K
Published: November 2019

Background

Safety netting is recommended in a variety of clinical settings, yet there are no tools to record clinician safety-netting communication behaviours.

Aim

To develop and assess the inter-rater reliability (IRR) of a coding tool designed to assess safety-netting communication behaviours in primary care consultations.

Design and setting

A mixed-methods study using an existing dataset of video-and audio-recorded UK primary care consultations.

Method

Key components that should be assessed in a coding tool were identified using the published literature and relevant guidelines. An iterative approach was utilised to continuously refine and generate new codes based on the application to real-life consultations. After the codebook had been generated, it was applied to 35 problems in 24 consultations independently by two coders. IRR scores were then calculated.

Results

The tool allows for the identification and quantification of the key elements of safety-netting advice including: who initiates the advice and at which stage of the consultation; the number of symptoms or conditions the patient is advised to look out for; what action patients should take and how urgently; as well as capturing how patients respond to such advice plus important contextual codes such as the communication of diagnostic uncertainty, the expected time course of an illness, and any follow-up plans. The final tool had substantial levels of IRR with the mean average agreement for the final tool being 88% (κ = 0.66).

Conclusion

The authors have developed a novel tool that can reliably code the extent of clinician safety-netting communication behaviours.
Decision support tools to improve cancer diagnostic decision making in primary care: a systematic review
Authors: Chima Sophie , Reece Jeanette C , Milley Kristi , Milton Shakira , McIntosh Jennifer G , Emery Jon D
Published: November 2019

Background

The diagnosis of cancer in primary care is complex and challenging. Electronic clinical decision support tools (eCDSTs) have been proposed as an approach to improve GP decision making, but no systematic review has examined their role in cancer diagnosis.

Aim

To investigate whether eCDSTs improve diagnostic decision making for cancer in primary care and to determine which elements influence successful implementation.

Design and setting

A systematic review of relevant studies conducted worldwide and published in English between 1 January 1998 and 31 December 2018.

Method

Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed. MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched, and a consultation of reference lists and citation tracking was carried out. Exclusion criteria included the absence of eCDSTs used in asymptomatic populations, and studies that did not involve support delivered to the GP. The most relevant Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklists were applied according to study design of the included paper.

Results

Of the nine studies included, three showed improvements in decision making for cancer diagnosis, three demonstrated positive effects on secondary clinical or health service outcomes such as prescribing, quality of referrals, or cost-effectiveness, and one study found a reduction in time to cancer diagnosis. Barriers to implementation included trust, the compatibility of eCDST recommendations with the GP’s role as a gatekeeper, and impact on workflow.

Conclusion

eCDSTs have the capacity to improve decision making for a cancer diagnosis, but the optimal mode of delivery remains unclear. Although such tools could assist GPs in the future, further well-designed trials of all eCDSTs are needed to determine their cost-effectiveness and the most appropriate implementation methods.
Return rates of nest-box breeding Pied Flycatchers Ficedula hypoleuca to their breeding site in subalpine birch forest in Swedish Lapland, during 1965–2018
Authors: Nyholm N Erik I
Published: November 2019

Return rates of 4,178 female and 1,565 male breeding Pied Flycatchers ringed in 1965–2017 were studied near the species’ upper elevation and climatic limit in northern Sweden. Female return rate was 7.5% in the season subsequent to the first breeding season. Having returned once, 37% continued to return the next three seasons. Corresponding return rates of males were 27% and 39%. Female return rate decreased with more than 30% during the study period whereas that of males did not decrease. This difference was probably due to increased mortality during the non-breeding season that selectively struck females after the 1970s. Local factors affected return rates in both sexes. Return rate was positively correlated with breeding success in females but negatively in males, whereas it was correlated with nest-predation in the opposite way. Predation by mustelids accounted for a significant part of female return rate. Females that had returned once were continuously faithful to the former breeding site. Males showed faithfulness only after having returned twice.
Anti-Event: A Case for Inconspicuousness in Religious Experience
Authors: Alvis Jason W.
Published: November 2019

It generally goes assumed that philosophical movements provide the fundamental inspiration and content for new theological reflection. Yet it also is the case that some philosophical concepts are secularized Christian theological concepts. Contemporary »postmodern« philosophy, for example, holds to the idea of »the event« as essential to its parting ways with the Modern philosophical tradition; an idea that is strikingly similar to how individual experiences of »revelation« have been understood in the Christian tradition, both as a personal and political phenomenon/phenomenality. Further, remaining unreflectively and theoretically beholden to the idea of the event may actually entail falling into its more negative form, the »spectacle«. By calling into question some of the negative potentials that clinging to such a notion could pose, this paper proposes a developed notion of »inconspicuous« as a means of countering such negative potentials. It engages the work of Heidegger, Debord, Janicaud and others in order to provide another angle by which it is possible to interpret the by now well-known »Theological Turn in French Phenomenology«. If over-reliance upon the concept of »the event« may fall prey to overemphasizing the outsourcing of imagination to a third party so that an agent might benefit from the novelty of surprise, difference, and newness, then both theological and philosophical engagements with »the event« run the risk also of becoming a »spectacle«.
The Relationship between the State and the Catholic Church in Postcolonial Vietnam: The Case of Christian Village of Phung Khoang
Authors: Nguyen Quang Hung , Kosarenko Nikolay N. , Khairullina Elmira R. , Popova Olga V.
Published: November 2019

Christian missionaries found Vietnam a spiritual country, and many Vietnamese converted to Christianity. On the other hand, during history, the Christian religious identity has brought various tensions due to the issues of colonialism, nationalism, and communism. Most Vietnamese Christians lived in pure Christian villages (lang cong giao toan tong) or mixed villages with Christians accounting for about a half of the population (lang cong giao xoi do). They have played an important role in the social, economic and cultural life of these villages. This article presents the historical background of a mixed village called Phung Khoang, contrasting the Christian vs. non-Christian cultural-religious views, and then discussing both the collaboration and tension played out over various historical periods.
Mysticism instead of Metaphysics: Marion's Phenomenology of Revelation
Authors: Rößner Christian
Published: November 2019

In a dense and important text that has recently been published in the Vienna Yearbook for Philosophy, Jean-Luc Marion treats the topic of the complex relationship between phenomenology and theology by inquiring into the philosophical status of mysticism. Whereas the concept and meaning of the mystical commonly have become problematic and suspicious, Christian faith remains based on the »revelation of the mustêrion« (Romans 16, 25). If, in this sense, theology is always already a mystical one, it has to take into account the specific phenomenality of such a manifestation of the mystery the Bible is testifying. By learning from phenomenology to better see what there is being given, theology can help phenomenology to become clear-eyed and to be no longer blinkered by transcendental restrictions of classical apriori-metaphysics.
Partnersko nasilje v krščanskih družinah in vloga vere
Authors: Simonič Barbara , Osewska Elżbieta , Pate Tanja
Published: November 2019

Nasilje v partnerskih odnosih je oblika družinskega nasilja, ko v intimnem odnosu fizična ali psihična nasilna dejanja izvaja partner ali zakonec nad drugim partnerjem ali zakoncem, žrtve pa so lahko tudi preostali družinski člani. Njegova razširjenost je zaskrbljujoča in ni omejena le na specifične okoliščine. Najde se tudi v krščanskih družinah, to pa je pravzaprav zaskrbljujoče, saj bi pričakovali, da verno okolje spodbuja in omogoča varne in ljubeče odnose. V prispevku, v katerem smo z metodo sistematičnega pregleda literature analizirali 28 različnih raziskav o partnerskem nasilju v krščanskih družinah, predstavljamo ugotovitve, ki nakazujejo, kako napačno razumljena in zlorabljena uporaba krščanskega izročila in prakse – v povezavi z drugimi dejavniki – lahko pospešuje oziroma ohranja nasilje v zakonskem in partnerskem odnosu in kako ustrezno živeta in razumljena krščanska vera in duhovnost zagotavljata zaščito in podporo pri preprečevanju nasilja
Enteropatógenos de potencial zoonótico identificados em aves silvestres
Authors: De Morais Amanda Bonalume Cordeiro , Garcia Ribeiro Márcio , Paganini Listoni Fernando
Published: November 2019

Os enteropatógenos podem ser considerados um dos principais grupos de micro-organismos patogênicos para humanos e animais. Podem estabelecer infecção nos suscetíveis devido a contaminação de água, alimentos ou pelo contato estreito com animais, incluindo as aves silvestres ou com o ambiente de criação. O acesso das aves da fauna silvestre ao ambiente próximo aos domicílios favorece a contaminação peridomiciliar pelas fezes dos passeriformes e psitaciformes. Locais como parques e praças podem se tornar propícios para veiculação destes patógenos devido a deficiente higienização e livre acesso destas aves silvestres. Neste artigo foram revisados alguns enteropatógenos de origem bacteriana e viral que podem ser considerados de alto risco para infecção humana levando-se em consideração a relevância das aves silvestres neste contexto.

SER VÍCTIMA DE BULLYING HOMOFÓBICO EN URUGUAY. LAS VOCES DE VARONES ADOLESCENTES DE MONTEVIDEO
Authors: Gelpi Gonzalo
Published: November 2019

En este trabajo se presentan resultados del proyecto de investigación “Bullying homofóbico y exclusión escolar en Ciclo Básico: Indagando en las experiencias de varones adolescentes de liceos públicos y privados de la ciudad de Montevideo”. El mismo se ejecutó entre el 2016-2018. Se trató de un diseño metodológico cualitativo de tipo exploratorio que empleó el método de la Teoría Fundamentada. La muestra está compuesta por varones adolescentes de entre 12 y 19 años, residentes en Montevideo, víctimas de bullying homofóbico y que presentaron una interrupción temporal o definitiva de sus trayectorias educativas. Se realizaron 20 entrevistas en profundidad hasta alcanzar el principio de saturación teórica. Los principales resultados indican que las experiencias de los adolescentes fueron significadas como negativas. Hubo matices en sus estrategias de afrontamiento, lo que visibiliza la diversidad dentro de la propia diversidad sexual. En las instituciones existe discriminación y se dirige contra las personas que son percibidas como “diferentes”. El bullying ocurre en todos los contextos, pero varía en sus modalidades. Los entrevistados lo sufrieron en los primeros años de la adolescencia. El fenómeno guarda una relación directa con el género, se encuentra en la base de las desigualdades de género. La no adhesión a las normas de género genera mayor rechazo en el entorno escolar que la orientación sexual homosexual.Los agresores solían ser varones con características similares, atributos asociados a la masculinidad hegemónica. En todos los casos ejercieron bullying directo y predominó la violencia verbal. La exposición a este fenómeno produjo diversos efectos bio-psico-sociales en los entrevistados.
DISREGULACIÓN EMOCIONAL Y EMOCIONES MORALES EN EDUCACIÓN: APORTACIONES DESDE LA NEUROPSICOLOGÍA
Authors: Godínez Castillo Claudia , Flores Olvera Dulce María Carolina
Published: November 2019

La propuesta educativa de formar sujetos integrales ha permitido la entrada de las emociones a la agenda educativa. Esto también ha permitido la inter y multidisciplina, por lo que la educación se ha nutrido de otras áreas como la neuropsicología. El presente escrito pretende reconocer la relación entre disregulación emocional y emociones morales en el ámbito educativo. Para ello se parte de la comprensión de la emoción como elemento central en procesos cognosocioafectivos, para decantar en las emociones morales, que son de particular interés para la educación, por su intención formativa y su búsqueda de entablar un diálogo entre lo gnosológico, lo axiológico, la reflexión constante y la búsqueda de principios. Finalmente se aborda cómo la disregulación emocional afecta a las emociones morales, provocando decisiones erróneas. Al respecto, la neuropsicología ha otorgado otra mirada al panorama educativo, por lo que mostramos sus aportaciones.
ESCUELA DE VERANO EN EL CONTEXTO DE LA EDUCACIÓN SECUNDARIA OBLIGATORIA. NARRATIVA DE UNA EXPERIENCIA PEDAGÓGICA. EL PROFESIONAL EN CIENCIAS DE LA EDUCACIÓN EN LA FUNCIÓN DE SUPERVISOR DE ESCUELA
Authors: Kundt Irma Leonor
Published: November 2019

Este artículo recupera aspectos no documentados de la vida escolar. Mediante la narrativa incorpora nuevas formas de contar lo que acontece en las escuelas (Suárez; 2016). A partir del año 2006, con las Leyes de Educación Nacional N° 26.206, y Provincial VIII N° 91 en Chubut, la obligatoriedad del Nivel secundario impone la adopción de diferentes acompañamientos a las trayectorias escolares. Se produce una tendencia al otorgamiento de oportunidades para aquellos que se presentan en situación de riesgo. La Escuela de verano constituye una instancia compensatoria para la acreditación, un corte evaluativo independiente. Los estudiantes pueden acreditar en las sedes de diferentes escuelas. Aun siendo su derecho, la responsabilidad de la implementación hasta el año 2016 se presentó como posibilidad a los equipos directivos y no como  obligación. Desde entonces han sido menos de la mitad las escuelas de la ciudad que se constituyen en sedes; y las familias y los estudiantes demandan su derecho; son organizados y derivados a las instituciones sede oferentes. La Escuela de verano se hace presente en los nombres del malestar docente (Zelmanovich; 2014). Se recuperan conceptos del Psicoanálisis para comprenderlo y aportes de Dussel (2007) que explican qué aspectos de la forma escolar se encuentra operando en ello.
Las competencias geopolíticas de Nicaragua, Honduras, Colombia y Costa Rica por su territorio ante la Corte Internacional de Justicia
Authors: Rivas Pardo Pablo
Published: November 2019

El análisis se centra en las competencias geopolíticas por territorio ante la Corte Internacional de Justicia, que involucran a Nicaragua, Honduras, Colombia y Costa Rica con respecto a sus límites internacionales. Para aquello, dos secciones componen el artículo: primero, la discusión teórica del concepto territorio de Stuart Elden, más la propuesta metodológica de análisis; segundo, las demandas de los Estados seleccionados y las sentencias de la Corte. Los resultados muestran que las competencias geopolíticas por el territorio incluyen tierra y mar; que los Estados replican un rol cuando tienen el estatus de demandante, ocurriendo lo mismo cuando son demandados; que la Corte sentencia mediante votación, sin aceptar tesis maximalistas y usando la cartografía para representar el territorio; y por último, que la territorialización es un proceso continuo.

Avaliação educacional em larga escala: a experiência brasileira
Authors: Rosa Becker Fernanda da
Published: November 2019

Ao longo da década de 90, iniciou-se um ciclo de processos de reformas baseado na ideia de que era necessário modificar o desenho organizacional e institucional dos sistemas educacionais. Um dos argumentos que sustentava esta ideia era o baixo nível de responsabilidade por resultados com que operavam as administrações tradicionais (TEDESCO, 2003). A responsabilização na educação foi apenas mais uma face do movimento mais amplo na gestão pública. A responsabilização passa a ser entendida como um valor que deve guiar os governos democráticos uma vez que é uma forma de rendição de contas a sociedade. O presente estudo tem por objetivo apresentar a experiência brasileira na área de avaliação educacional em larga escala. Dessa forma, o artigo se divide em cinco seções das quais a primeira é desenvolvida na introdução; a segunda apresenta a problemática da avaliação educacional em larga escala, a terceira introduz a experiência brasileira a nível nacional, a quarta a experiência no âmbito internacional e a última traz alguns comentários finais.

Ambos trabajos estuvieron enmarcados en un enfoque cualitativo, estructurados mediante un diseño emergente y utilizando la codificación como una forma sistemática de desarrollar y refinar las interpretaciones dadas por los docentes y practicantes del área, con el fin de tratar de comprender las ideas y las estrategias evaluativas utilizadas.
Ensino de ciências e educação moral: uma interface de implicações mútuas
Authors: Castilho Razera Júlio César , Nardi Roberto
Published: November 2019

Nas teorias sociomorais que perpassam Piaget, Kohlberg e Habermas, encontramos subsídios para o ensino de Ciências que se estabelece na perspectiva da construção crítica do conhecimento e da desmistificação da visão de ciência, assim como, de forma correspondente, também encontramos nos pressupostos do ensino crítico e desmistificado de Ciências um conjunto de subsídios que potencializa o desenvolvimento moral e a dimensão ética discursiva. Neste artigo, compartilhamos com o leitor alguns de nossos argumentos em prol da existência dessa ainda subestimada interface de implicações mútuas entre Ensino de Ciências e Educação Moral, com a presença de relevantes subsídios teórico-práticos que uma área pode dar à outra. A expectativa é que as discussões apresentadas contribuam para a reflexão do trabalho docente, numa perspectiva de educação científica e moral baseada no processo de construção da autonomia do aluno.
La “madera” de la autoridad educativa
Authors: Romero Izarra Gonzalo , Caballero González Amparo
Published: November 2019

El aluvión de privatizaciones, con la consiguiente y sucesiva compra-venta de derechos y deberes, sigue llegando a la escuela. Las privatizaciones también llegan al componente social, allí donde nos relacionamos y comunicamos los ciudadanos. Uno de los subsistemas sociales de mayor importancia es, sin duda, la escuela. Una escuela que no está aislada del mundo exterior, sino que está penetrada de su realidad. Una realidad en crisis. ..
El weblog como herramienta de aprendizaje y trabajo en la enseñanza secundaria. Análisis de sus resultados como experiencia pedagógica
Authors: Aparicio Moreno José Manuel
Published: November 2019

Los weblogs tienen un gran potencial como herramienta en el ámbito de la enseñanza, ya que se pueden adaptar a cualquier disciplina, nivel educativo y metodología docente. En este trabajo se da cuenta de la experiencia educativa con blogs en el Instituto de Educación Secundaria La Serranía de Villar del Arzobispo, Valencia (España). El núcleo de las actividades formativas tiene como protagonista el edublog de profesores para alumnos y otras aplicaciones de la web 2.0. De la experiencia pedagógica derivamos, entre otras consecuencias, sus similitudes y diferencias, así como sus logros y aspectos de mejora.
La formación docente y la comunicación en la Argentina. Apuntes para un debate
Authors: Gamarnik Cora
Published: November 2019

Desde la década de los 90, se han elaborado en la Argentina diseños curriculares que incorporaron a los medios de comunicación, y a la comunicación en general, como contenido a enseñar en las escuelas. Sin embargo, esta incorporación se realizó sin que haya habido una política previa específica de formación docente en comunicación que planteara una discusión acerca de qué y cómo incorporarla como contenido escolar. Esto, sumado a la situación de docentes desplazados de otras materias, a partir de la reforma educativa, provocó que la aplicación de dichos contenidos en el aula haya quedado en manos de docentes no capacitados específicamente para llevarlos a cabo, lo que dio por tierra con toda la fuerza innovadora que podía implicar el ingreso de estas temáticas novedosas para el ámbito escolar. Al mismo tiempo, los graduados en comunicación comenzaron a ver en la enseñanza un nuevo lugar de inserción laboral con mayores posibilidades del que ofrecía el cada vez más restringido mercado periodístico.
Expansión de las aspiraciones educativas en jóvenes de sectores populares. ¿Evidencias de la emergencia de un nuevo habitus escolar en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires?
Authors: Meo Analía , Dabenigno Valeria
Published: November 2019

Este trabajo presenta algunos de los resultados de una investigación cualitativa sobre los sentidos atribuidos a la escuela y las identidades sociales de jóvenes varones y mujeres de sectores populares escolarizados en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires. A partir del análisis de entrevistas, se argumenta que existen nuevas formas de concebir la educación media entre jóvenes de sectores populares respecto de las generaciones de sus padres. Así, ellos perciben a la escuela secundaria como necesaria y obligatoria, tanto para su desarrollo personal como para el mejoramiento de sus oportunidades de vida futuras. Más aún, estos estudiantes ven a la escuela sólo como un “piso” necesario para cumplir con sus altas expectativas educativas y laborales, tales como continuar sus estudios en el nivel superior (universitario y no universitario). Esta novedosa forma de entender a la educación secundaria -como pasaje que garantizará mejores oportunidades educativas, sociales y laborales- será interpretada como evidencia de la emergencia de un nuevo habitus escolar entre los jóvenes de estos grupos sociales. El concepto de habitus escolar refiere a formas de apreciación, clasificación y prácticas que legitiman la existencia de la escuela media. Sin embargo, la emergencia de este nuevo habitus escolar no se da en el vacío; se inscribe en un contexto de estructuras de oportunidades y recursos culturales y sociales muy restringidos.

La presente investigación está basada en la perspectiva teórica de Enfoques de Aprendizaje del Estudiante. El objetivo de este estudio fue conocer cuáles eran los enfoques de aprendizaje que adoptaba el alumnado de la titulación de CAFD (España) y Organización Deportiva (México), diferencialmente, en función del centro donde cursan sus estudios y del género. Han participado 458 alumnos, pertenecientes a cuatro facultades, tres localizadas en España: Facultad de Ciencias del Deporte de la Universidad de Extremadura (Cáceres) y Facultades de Ciencias de la Actividad Física y del Deporte (INEF) de la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid y de la Universidad de La Coruña; y una cuarta situada en México: la Facultad de Organización Deportiva (FOD) de la Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León. Para la recogida de información se ha utilizado el Cuestionario de procesos de estudio de Biggs (R-SPQ-2F, 2001), en su versión en español. Las conclusiones indican que los alumnos de las titulaciones de CAFD y FOD, pertenecientes a la muestra estudiada, adoptan, mayoritariamente, un enfoque de aprendizaje profundo, seguido de un enfoque superficial y un escaso porcentaje de enfoque equilibrado. Por género, las mujeres adoptan mayoritaria y significativamente un enfoque profundo en relación a los hombres. Finalmente, el enfoque de aprendizaje profundo es el predominante en los cuatro centros estudiados, no existiendo diferencias significativas entre los mismos.
A dislexia no ensino superior: características, consequências e estratégias de intervenção
Authors: Frade Mangas Catarina , Ramos Sánchez José Luis
Published: November 2019

Actualmente o Ensino Superior abre portas a estudantes com Necessidades Educativas que outrora seriam excluídos, aumentando a diversidade destes estudantes. Entre estes estão sujeitos com dificuldades específicas de aprendizagem, tal como o caso da dislexia. Neste sentido, o presente artigo contextualiza o tema, pondo o enfoque nas dificuldades de aprendizagem em geral e na dislexia no Ensino Superior em particular. Quanto às opções metodológicas, o estudo guiou-se por uma abordagem do tipo qualitativo. Assim, seleccionámos um grupo de cinco alunos disléxicos, aos quais fizemos entrevistas, um psicólogo e um professor que juntamente com os alunos participaram num grupo de discussão. Recolhemos, ainda, de forma a complementar os dados, os relatórios de observação e avaliação destes alunos, tendo sido estes três instrumentos analisados através de uma análise de conteúdo que permitiu posteriormente uma comparação entre os dados recolhidos. Os resultados da nossa investigação permitiram-nos concluir que, globalmente, as características dos alunos disléxicos os influenciam no Ensino Superior, uma vez que as dificuldades inerentes à dislexia resultam em consequências comportamentais, emocionais, sociais e académicas. Neste sentido, importa adoptar estratégias neste nível de ensino que possibilitem uma identificação e avaliação eficazes da dislexia, com vista ao seu sucesso académico, implementando programas que permitam que o perfil do aluno seja identificado e que procedimentos educacionais mais adequados sejam empregados.

Lejos han quedado ya los tiempos en que los muros de los centros educativos sostenían el prejuicio obsoleto sobre el derecho de las mujeres a recibir una educación reglada. Desde comienzos del siglo XIX, cuando Concepción Arenal acudía a la Universidad vestida de hombre, hasta nuestros días, el tránsito de las mujeres a lo largo del sistema educativo ha adoptado carices tan intensos que en la actualidad las alusiones a la feminización de la educación sorprenden a muy pocas personas
