Na antecâmara do Império: o direito à terra e o debate sobre a propriedade no pensamento de José Bonifácio de Andrada e Silva (1819-1822)
Authors: Pombo Nívia , Machado Marina Monteiro
Published: February 2019

Resumo: O artigo discute a noção de propriedade e direitos à terra no pensamento de José Bonifácio de Andrada e Silva a partir da problematização e análise de dois manuscritos da Coleção José Bonifácio do Instituto Histórico e Geográfico Brasileiro: “O governo deriva da propriedade” e “Apontamentos sobre as sesmarias do Brasil”. Tais escritos foram produzidos durante o processo de Independência e integram seu programa de reformas para o Brasil naquele contexto. Para tanto, analisam-se as sesmarias e as regras para sua limitação; a formação de pequenas e médias propriedades rurais; e o papel desempenhado pela agricultura como fonte de riqueza. Por fim, o artigo contribui para a desconstrução do mito Bonifácio, de um homem à frente de seu tempo, situando o diálogo que ele estabeleceu com o pensamento econômico do século XVIII.

Seu editor, Felix Ferreira, escreveu livros didáticos para o ensino de meninas e meninos que foram utilizados no Liceu de Artes e Ofícios e adotados pela Instrução Pública da Corte. Defensor do ensino das ciências como base da educação popular, Ferreira foi um “vulgarizador das ciências”. Por meio da publicação Sciencia para o Povo, é possível acompanhar algumas das estratégias dos vulgarizadores para adquirirem um espaço no mercado de impressos do momento e em meio aos debates sobre educação.
The historical-sociological matrix and ethos at the heart and strength of MPLA’s modern Angola
Authors: Vidal Nuno Carlos de Fragoso
Published: February 2019

Abstract: Proximate to a Weberian perspective, this article argues that the resilience of the Angolan regime is mainly owed to an ethos structured on top of a specific socio-cultural historical matrix (minority at start), evolving since the 16th century. Such matrix was structured on a prevailing Weltanschauung (world and national vision), that has been progressively self-presented, self-assumed, imposed/assimilated as national and modern within a project of identity and power hegemony, even though still and constantly ridden by several internal contradictions and tensions. Dynamics of this process is central to understand the intricacies of the relationship between rulers and ruled, evolving identities as well as the still significant social support to the party in power after more than four decades in the government. The regime’s resilience lays on such ethos in support of hegemonic power and identity project, above and beyond the president and all his political management abilities, beyond the central instrumentality of the national oil company (SONANGOL), beyond the media spotlight on influential names surrounding the presidency, including the president’s men, generals, and beyond authoritarianism.

O momento forte do corporativismo: Estado Novo e profissionais liberais
Authors: Vannucchi Marco Aurélio
Published: February 2019

Resumo: O Estado que se formou com a vitória da Revolução de 1930 precisou, para sua afirmação, transacionar apoio dos grupos sociais. A negociação com os profissionais liberais envolveu a expansão dos postos públicos, a regulamentação profissional e a representação de interesses de tipo corporativista. Este artigo dedica-se a perscrutar o último ponto. O mecanismo corporativo criou um canal direto e permanente de apresentação de demandas das profissões liberais ao Estado, concretizado nas entidades sindicais e nos conselhos profissionais. Ao mesmo tempo, permitiu ao Estado controlar este grupo social, especialmente a partir da ditadura instaurada em fins de 1937. No entanto, o controle necessitava de contínua atualização pelo regime e enfraqueceu-se quando este entrou em crise, o que deu margem a que parte do aparato corporativo, como a OAB e o Sindicato dos Advogados, fosse tomada por forças oposicionistas.
From corporatism to the “foundation of labour”: notes on political cultures across Fascist and Republican Italy
Authors: Cerasi Laura
Published: February 2019

Abstract: Until the mid-1930s, corporatism represented the main vehicle of self-representation that fascism gave to its own resolution of the crisis of the modern state; the investment in corporatism involved not only the attempt to build a new institutional architecture that regulated the relations between the State, the individual and society, but also the legal, economic and political debate. However, while the importance of corporatism decreased in the last years of the regime, the labour issue to which it was genetically linked found new impetus. After Liberation Day, the labour issue was not abandoned along with corporatism, but it was laid down in Article 1 of the Constitution. The aim of this paper is to acknowledge the political cultures that in interwar years faced the above-mentioned processes, with particular reference to the fascist “left”, the reformist socialists and, above all, Catholics of different orientations, in order to examine some features of the relationship between the labour issue and statehood across the 20th century.
A construção do sistema corporativo em Portugal (1933-1974)
Authors: Freire Dulce , Ferreira Nuno Estêvão
Published: February 2019

Resumo: Neste artigo apresentam-se alguns dos resultados de pesquisas recentes sobre o sistema corporativo estabelecido em Portugal durante o Estado Novo (1933-1974). Uma nova base de dados permite, pela primeira vez, proceder a análises mais detalhadas da distribuição cronológica, geográfica e funcional dos milhares de organismos que constituíram o sistema corporativo português. Observa-se que, ao contrário do que tem sido afirmado em diversos estudos, o sistema não surgiu de forma casuística ou desordenada. Verifica-se antes que a densa rede de organismos foi sendo construída seguindo critérios consistentes com os objetivos políticos de cada uma das fases do regime. Identificar a abrangência e os impactos territoriais, políticos e sociais da rede corporativa é indispensável para aprofundar as explicações sobre o funcionamento e a longevidade da ditadura.

Quantifying road-user cost savings and change in land value: a UK case study
Authors: Al-Mumaiz Maha , Evdorides Harry
Published: February 2019

This paper presents a study on the impacts of an inter-urban road development in the UK through a comprehensive investigation and clarification of the relationship between road-user benefits as a primary impact and changes in land values (CLVs) as a secondary impact. It seeks to offer a methodology aiming at coupling the conventional cost–benefit analysis (CBA) with aspects of economic impact analysis by avoiding double-counting of the results. The CBA model of an existing highway management tool was used to calculate road-user cost savings (RUCSs) of generated traffic, while CLVs were calculated over the same period using a statistical model newly developed for the purpose. A comparison of a 30-year time span was used to test similarities in trends of road-user benefits and CLVs. The main factors affecting the degree of similarity were found to be traffic and its prediction and, in particular, the traffic generated by the new road. It appears that over a 30-year period, a new road project has a positive effect on land values but a negative effect on RUCSs in the first years after construction. The latter increases for about 15 years and then follows a decreasing pattern in the last 10 years or so.
David Chidester: An Appreciation
Authors: Linenthal Edward T.
Published: February 2019

When the editors asked if I would write a short reflection on my long and enduring friendship with David Chidester for a book honoring David's brilliant career, I of course said, 'Yes'. David and I met in 1974 as graduate students at the University of California, Santa Barbara, in the department of Religious Studies. Along with two good friends and fellow graduate students, Jim McNamara and Deborah Sills-Gunn - who left us far too early - the four of us made up the Board of Directors (acknowledged in every one of David's books). So many years later, we still have not yet decided what we are directing, but even with Deb's empty chair, we remain a board-of-directors-in-waiting. We all shared wonderful times at the warm and inviting home of Walter and Lois Capps. Deb, David, and I spoke at the university's memorial service after Walter's sudden death in 1997, and David and I loved that we were able to present him with a copy of our co-edited book, American sacred space, dedicated to Walter.
The Pitfalls of “Love and Kindness”: On the Challenges to Compassion/Pity as a Political Emotion
Authors: Weber Anne-Kathrin
Published: February 2019

Martha Nussbaum’s political theory of compassion offers an extensive and compelling study of the potential of employing compassionate emotions in the political realm to further social justice and societal “love”. In this article, two pitfalls of Nussbaum’s affirming theory of a politics of compassion are highlighted: the problem of a dual-level hierarchisation and the “magic” of feeling compassion that potentially removes the subject of compassion from reality. I will argue that Hannah Arendt’s thoughts on pity provide substantial challenges to a democratic theory of compassion in this respect. Following these theoretical reflections, I will turn to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 US-American presidential election campaign, to her video ads “Love and Kindness” in particular, in order to provide fitting illustrations from current realpolitik for these specific pitfalls of the political employment of compassionate emotions.
The Advocacy of Feelings: Emotions in EU-Based Civil Society Organizations’ Strategies
Authors: Sanchez Salgado Rosa
Published: February 2019

European Union (EU)-based Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) are usually pictured as well-established professionalized actors basing their advocacy strategies on the provision of expertise. Does the focus on expertise imply the removal of emotions and feelings from political communication? Following the emotion turn in social movement and collective action studies, this article investigates how and why EU-based CSOs use emotions in their advocacy strategies. The article shows first how CSOs use rhetorical appeals to emotions and rhetorical appeals to reason in their communication. Secondly, the focus is directed to emotion-inspired advocacy strategies, namely blaming and shaming, fear-mongering and boosting. The choice of rhetorical appeals and strategies is mainly explained by three different inter-related factors: the logics of influence, the logics of membership and media logics. Empirical data is drawn from a content analysis of press releases and policy documents of environmental (climate change) and human rights (refugee crisis) CSOs active at the EU level and from semi-structured interviews with key CSO representatives.
Loyalty and Secret Intelligence: Anglo‒Dutch Cooperation during World War II
Authors: Braat Eleni
Published: February 2019

Secrecy and informal organisation produce, sustain, and reinforce feelings of loyalty within intelligence and security services. This article demonstrates that loyalty is needed for cooperation between intelligence partners as well as within and between services. Under many circumstances, loyalty plays a larger role in the level of internal and external collaboration than formal work processes along hierarchical lines. These findings are empirically based on the case study of Anglo‒Dutch intelligence cooperation during World War II. By demonstrating that ‘loyalty’ critically affects the work of intelligence communities, this article contributes to current and future research that integrates history, intelligence studies, and research on emotions.
Emotions and Political Narratives: Populism, Trump and Trade
Authors: Skonieczny Amy
Published: February 2019

In 2016, a wave of American populism triggered emotional reactions to issues like trade and immigration, and dramatically impacted the Obama administration’s plans to ratify the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) during President Obama’s final year in office. This article asks how do emotions infuse populism with political power, and why was populism effective in sparking American economic nationalism and retreat from free trade during the 2016 presidential campaign? Drawing on a psychoanalytic, narrative framework, the article argues that populist narratives deployed by US presidential candidates Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders characterized the American economy as a story of the people versus corrupt elites offering greater audience resonance that ultimately derailed President Obama’s plan to pass the TPP and ushered in an era of economic nationalism under President Trump. The article contributes to the literature on emotions and foreign policy and explores the under-studied emotional features of populism as a discursive narrative.
Asynchronous Video and the Development of Instructor Social Presence and Student Engagement
Authors: COLLINS Kayla , GROFF Shannon , MATHENA Cindy , KUPCZYNSKI Lori
Published: February 2019

Enrollment in online learning continues to grow in the higher education sector, along with persistent goals dedicated to achieving better student outcomes and lowering attrition rates. Improved student engagement has been shown to possibly reduce attrition rates through a greater sense of connectedness and decreased feelings of isolation among online learners. Instructor social presence may be the most important factor in building the relationships that foster learning and retention. Through communication, the instructor conveys the necessary immediacy behaviors required to cultivate these interpersonal relationships. With improved technology that allows for enhanced communication in online classrooms, the use of asynchronous video may be an effective way to improve instructor social presence and student engagement. This quasi-experimental design aimed to determine whether asynchronous video or text-based communication increased students’ perceptions of instructor social presence and student engagement in an online graduate classroom. Significance was found for student engagement based on the number of discussion posts and length of discussion posts. Students in the group who received text-based communication demonstrated increased student engagement in voluntary discussion boards as opposed to students in the group who received asynchronous video. There was no significant difference found for instructor social presence between the two groups.
Trends and Patterns of Mobile Learning: A Study of Mobile Learning Management System Access
Authors: ORTIZ Sergio , GREEN Marybeth
Published: February 2019

The use of mobile technology such as smartphones and tablets is deeply embedded in college life by Generation Z (students born between 1995 and 2010). Using reports generated by the Learning Management System (LMS), this research studied the mobile device access patterns of both undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in courses utilizing the Blackboard Learning Management System at a small university in South Texas over the 2015-2016 school year to determine patterns of usage. Frequency counts were employed to determine numbers of logins over 24 hours, logins over days of the weeks, and preferred operating systems. Reports determined that there were 14, 234 unique visitors, that Monday had the most logins of the days of the week, and that the most frequent time of day for logins was 10 a.m. Surprisingly, however, there were a robust number of logins between midnight and 6 a.m. The reports also show that iOS devices dominate the user base with 121,990 logins within the one year date range.

Published: February 2019

Objetivou-se traçar o perfil epidemiológico da tuberculose na população indígena. O presente estudo fundamenta-se no método de Revisão Integrativa da Literatura (RIL). A busca de artigos foi realizada na base de dados Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS-Brasil) utilizando-se os Descritores Controlados em Ciências da Saúde (DeCS) combinados: “População Indígena” AND Tuberculose. Foram adotados critérios de inclusão e exclusão, identificando 45 artigos dos quais 12 foram selecionados. Constatou-se que 75% (n=9) das publicações sobre a tuberculose em indígenas apresentaram o gênero masculino como o mais acometido, 58,3% (n=7) afirma que a faixa etária entre 20 e 45 anos é a mais prevalente. Também há domínio do tipo pulmonar (75%; n=9), em indígenas com baixa escolaridade (50%; n=6). Com base nos achados, constatou-se a vulnerabilidade da população indígena diante da Tuberculose. Tal fato decorre desta população possuir diversos fatores de risco que contribuem para a propagação dessa doença. Portanto, é de suma importância o conhecimento de tais dados pelos órgãos de controlabilidade dos serviços de saúde dessa população, a fim de promover o cuidado de forma íntegra e resolutiva.

Authors: Sunesti Yuyun , Hasan Noorhaidi , Najib Azca Muhammad
Published: February 2019

Purpose of the study: This paper analyses the use of internet by salafi women especially in an online group named Telaga Sunnah Muslimah (The Sunnah Lake of Muslimah-TSM). Methodology: Applying content analysis by analyzing the messages shared within TSM WhatsApp Groups discussion, this paper analyses the agency which salafi women play through their internet usage, especially in online media they use. Main Findings: Viewed as passive, voiceless and subordinated group, they use internet as media for reproducing knowledge, expressing their voice and negotiating their identity. While salafi manhaj requires them to strictly limit their appearance in public space, the online space has facilitated them to have more spaces to exist beyond their offline world Applications of this study: The study gives an understanding on how a closed women group plays their agency to negotiate their boundary within modern world. Novelty/Originality of this study: While salafi women are commonly viewed as having no agency, this paper found their agency through their online media usage.
STUDY OF THE PROCESS OF CALLING GOD'S NAME FROM SCIENTIFIC GLASSES: ASPECTS OF DZIKRULLAH BY SCIENCE
Authors: Ibrahim Iskandar
Published: February 2019

Purpose of the study:This study is an academic response to a long debate about the practice of zikrullah in the community in order to get answers scientifically.

Methodology:The author uses combined data in this study, qualitative data to find models of zikrullah and quantitative data through Electro Encephalo Graf to see the mechanisms and effects of zikrullah on the human brain.

Main Findings: The results of the study show that in zikrullah there are five main aspects, namely the aspect of breathing as a mechanism for gas exchange for metabolism in the body, the voiceless aspect as the process of presenting zikrullah energy which will be transmitted to the brain, aspects of hearing to accelerate the presence of alpha waves, aspects of remembering as mental processes affect the limbic system and the aspect of the body's pattern as a union of several energy points.

Applications of this study:Therefore, the authors conclude that this study is a new approach to seeing the process and expressing the significance of the zikrullah towards humans. The United Nations, especially WHO can use the results of this study to help humanity who needs a spiritual approach.

Novelty:Zikrullah has been practiced for more than a thousand years.The name of Allah has been mentioned throughout the history of mankind, but an explanation of the aspects of zikrullah according to the scientific perspective has not yet been completed. The attention of Islamic scientists who are still little about the mystical phenomenon causes an explanation of aspects of zikrullah according to the scientific perspective has not been completed.

Statistical Analysis Of A Class: Monte Carlo And Multiple Imputation Spreadsheet Methods For Estimation And Extrapolation
Authors: Fish Laurel J. , Halcoussis Dennis , Phillips G. Michael
Published: February 2019

The Monte Carlo method and related multiple imputation methods are traditionally used in math, physics and science to estimate and analyze data and are now becoming standard tools in analyzing business and financial problems.  However, few sources explain the application of the Monte Carlo method for individuals and business professionals who are not immersed in the realm of mathematics or science.  This paper introduces these Monte Carlo methods for the non-mathematician and business student, providing examples where the Monte Carlo method is applied when only small samples are available.  Statistical analysis and statistically sound extrapolation of sample characteristics to the larger class population can be facilitated by applying Monte Carlo methods and the related concept of multiple imputation, which is also explained.  Appendices provide step-by-step instructions for using two popular spreadsheet add-ins to run Monte Carlo based analysis.
The Pedagogical And Institutional Impact Of Disruptive Innovations In Distance Business Education
Authors: Estelami Hooman
Published: February 2019

The use of distance learning methods by universities has experienced significant growth over the past two decades.  While this growth has been witnessed nearly equally across the various academic disciplines, it represents unique opportunities in business education.  In this article we will profile how technological innovations in distance learning have historically caused disruptive changes in business education.  The article then profiles three specific distance learning technologies that are emerging as revolutionary forces in changing business education.  The impact of these technologies will be examined from both a pedagogical perspective and an institutional perspective.  The influence of these educational technologies in addressing the unique needs of business students will also be discussed.
NPV Sensitivity Analysis: A Dynamic Excel Approach
Authors: Mangiero George A. , Kraten Michael
Published: February 2019

Financial analysts generally create static formulas for the computation of NPV.  When they do so, however, it is not readily apparent how sensitive the value of NPV is to changes in multiple interdependent and interrelated variables. It is the aim of this paper to analyze this variability by employing a dynamic, visually graphic presentation using Excel.  Our approach illustrates how these variables, when increased or decreased to reflect the potential range of values in a business case, change the value of NPV, and hence affect the decision about whether to proceed with the project or to reject it. Furthermore, since sales revenue is one of the least certain elements in the business case, the presentation includes a probability estimate of whether NPV will be positive or negative, assuming that sales revenue is normally distributed with a known mean and standard deviation. The business case we have chosen for illustrative purposes is a global energy project. Nevertheless, financial analysts in any industry should be able to apply our dynamic spreadsheet approach to their projects as well.
Identifying Faculty Perceptions Of Awareness And Preparedness Relating To ADA Compliance At A Small, Private College In NE PA
Authors: Stevens Chad M. , Schneider Elizabeth , Bederman-Miller Patricia
Published: February 2019

This paper explores post-secondary faculty perceptions of awareness and preparedness relating to Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).  Institutions of higher education are businesses. The largest threat to sustained viability for many businesses is litigation. Business-related litigation is often the result of non-employment discrimination or torts (violation of civil rights).  Lack of knowledge (awareness and preparedness) is usually not a sufficient reason for defendants in business-related litigation. The number of college students reporting learning-related disabilities is growing. About 2.2 million students enrolled in higher education institutions have a documented disability (National Center for Education Statistics, 2016). Disability related litigation is a trending concern for institutions of higher education.  Are post-secondary faculty ‘aware’ and ‘prepared’ to make the necessary accommodations for students with qualified learning disabilities in classrooms? ADA awareness is defined as cognizance relating to the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.  ADA preparedness is defined as readiness and ability to follow obligations relating to the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.  A moderate, positive correlation was discovered between the two variables, indicating the more awareness one has of ADA laws and requirements, the more prepared one is in dealing with accommodations for those with learning disabilities. Research indicates a need for updated and current training in the area of ADA awareness and preparedness of post-secondary faculty.
Exploring Innovative Pedagogy To Deliver Financial Education: A Peer-To-Peer Event With Students
Authors: Solis Oscar J.
Published: February 2019

An innovative 2015 Financial Education Event utilized collaborative learning, peer-to-peer learning strategies, and multimedia to engage students and deliver financial content.  Thirty-three students in a financial counseling class hosted the event for students from a personal finance course as well as the university community.  For the event, the financial counseling class conducted research and created six financial infographics that were presented in an open-floor setting on six 70-inch monitors.  The six financial topics included budgeting basics, conquering credit, how to be a smart shopper, how to manage student loan debt, kick-starting your first job, and life after college.  The financial education event was an opportunity for students to interact and engage in financial dialogue in a fun, enthusiastic, and interactive environment. During this peer-to-peer educational event, students were able to explore, engage, and learn beyond the traditional classroom setting.
