The Question of Creativity in the Finnish Elementary School Curriculum
Authors: Hakala Juha T , Konst Taru , Uusikylä Kari , Järvinen Esa-Matti
Published: September 2017

This article is intended to examine the role of creative education in the design of the national curriculum and the division of lesson hours during the period 2010-2014. During this process, pupils, private citizens and experts from different fields were given the opportunity to submit their contributions to the exercise. The article intends to examine whether the curriculum development exercise fulfilled the conditions for a wide democratic consultation process. Three professional groups, elementary school teachers, artists (writers, visual arts teachers, musicians) and academic engineers (n= 1163) were the main focus of this research project. Creativity related claims, which were posted on the internet, were presented to the research subjects. The results from the study indicated that in many respects, the subjects’ concept of creativity and creative education differed statistically from each other considerably. The views from the teachers and artists revealed that creativity is seen as a source of joy and wellbeing. Engineers tend to view creativity from its utilitarian perspective, particularly with reference to product development and innovation. The results also reveal the challenges of developing a national curriculum through a wide democratic consultation process, an apparently simple exercise, which however failed in its objectives and intentions.
La corrupción en la contratación estatal: ¿entre la etiqueta y la acción social?
Authors: Amaya Rodriguez Carlos , Hernández González Laura , Méndez Prada Zuleyma
Published: September 2017

La corrupción como un fenómeno propio de la contratación estatal es uno de los problemas sociales con mayor trascendencia en la sociedad actual. Cuando ocurre un caso de corrupción, el proceso de contratación ya no estará dirigido a la satisfacción del interés general, sino a los intereses personales de los agentes del proceso contractual, lo que afecta el bienestar de la comunidad. El anterior panorama permite evidenciar e identificar la presencia de una serie de categorías propias de la sociología jurídica por medio de los cuales se hace necesario hacer una revisión de la corrupción desde la óptica de esta disciplina
Fraude a la ley y fraude a la ley fiscal: Juegos de estrategias
Authors: Blanco Andrés
Published: September 2017

Lo que se llama fraude a la ley es una confrontación de estrategias. De un lado,se aprovecha el formalismo de las categorías jurídicas y el modelo argumentativo exegético que impera en la práctica de los juristas para eludir una prohibición legal evitando deliberadamente ingresar en el universo de casos prohibidos. Del otro lado, los que tratan de repeler esa conducta usan una estrategia consistente en la apelación discursiva a fines y principios. Pero las motivaciones de unos y otros están en la prevalencia de sus respectivos intereses, principalmente económicos. El fraude a la ley fiscal de los particulares se produce cuando se usa el formalismo jurídico para defender los intereses de los propietarios

de dinero, a la vez que la Administración confronta ese uso con una estrategia que recubre su interés recaudatorio.

Análise da suscetibilidade a desertificação na bacia hidrográfica do rio pontal – Pernambuco - Brasil
Authors: Dos Santos Ferreira Pedro , Marcos dos Santos Antonio , Mayron Santana Ferreira Johnny , Dos Santos Ferreira Henrique , Domiciano Galvício Josiclêda
Published: September 2017

O atual modelo de desenvolvimento econômico adotado pela sociedade, baseado no consumo, tem chamado a atenção dos ambientalistas em função da forte pressão que o mesmo vem exercendo sobre os ambientes naturais. Esta pressão vem resultando em graves problemas de ordem socioambiental. Entre eles, a desertificação surge como o grande desafio a ser enfrentado. A desertificação é entendida como um processo de degradação das terras áridas, semiáridas e subúmidas secas, resultante de variações climáticas e atividades humanas. Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste artigo é analisar o grau de suscetibilidade à desertificação da bacia hidrográfica do rio Pontal. Para mapeamento da suscetibilidade à desertificação, foram cruzadas cartas com os atributos de uso e cobertura da terra, solos, declividade, potencial erosivo da chuva e índice de aridez. No geral a bacia apresentou baixa suscetibilidade à desertificação, sendo a retirada da cobertura vegetal a principal responsável pelo aparecimento de áreas de maior risco. Devido a grande importância econômica da bacia do Pontal, em função da expansão dos perímetros irrigados, propõe-se que outros estudos sejam desenvolvidos no sentido de encontrar alternativas viáveis para o combate à desertificação.
El sueño frustrado del Anillo Verde Periurbano en Santiago de Chile
Authors: Colodro Gotthelf Jonathan Uri , Barría Meneses Jessica
Published: September 2017

Santiago de Chile ha sufrido un fuerte crecimiento y rápida expansión, pasando de ser una ciudad compacta a principios del siglo XX, a una ciudad difusa en la actualidad. Dicho proceso no ha ido acompañado de una adecuada planificación territorial, lo que sumado a otras causas, ha tenido como efecto fuertes desigualdades territoriales en cuanto a la disponibilidad y accesibilidad a las áreas verdes. En 1960 se plantea el primer Plan Regulador Intercomunal para Santiago, el cual proponía un innovador proyecto de Anillo Verde, el cual se concretó parcialmente. Asimismo, la expansión urbana absorbió dichas áreas, urbanizándose completamente y dejando patente la carencia de estos espacios. La presente investigación analiza la evolución en la planificación de áreas verdes en el periurbano de Santiago, considerando el Plan de 1960 y el actual instrumento que corresponde al Plan Regulador Metropolitano 100, entrado en vigencia en 2013.
Análisis de la fertilidad de los suelos de Alto Loica en San Pedro de Melipilla, Región Metropolitana (Chile)
Authors: Araya Silva Juan Luis
Published: September 2017

En Chile, la erosión es el principal problema ambiental debido a que sobre el 40% de los suelos en el país está con problemas de erosión, limitando la capacidad de éstos para generar bienes y servicios. En la zona central del país, este fenómeno se intensifica en la Cordillera de la Costa, siendo las comunas rurales las más afectadas, principalmente la comuna de San Pedro de Melipilla, al SW de la Región Metropolitana. Este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar las propiedades físicas y químicas del suelo de Alto Loica, sector rural localizado al sur de la comuna de San Pedro. El estudio se efectuó en 4 microcuencas hidrográficas en Alto Loica, mediante el muestreo de suelos y el análisis de calicatas. Los resultados reflejaron que existen déficit críticos en las concentraciones de micro y macronutrientes, debido a lo cual los suelos presentan baja fertilidad y baja calidad y no son aptos para el desarrollo agropecuario, limitándose su uso solo a aptitud forestal. Por otra parte, esto se puede asociar a malas prácticas agrícolas efectuadas en el pasado, que derivaron en la erosión de los suelos del sector. Este estudio puede contribuir como un marco conceptual y referencial para futuros estudios de restauración y rehabilitación de suelos con el fin de recuperar la propiedad de los suelos de generar bienes y servicios.

Esta comunicação é resultante de pesquisa cujo objetivo era investigar o projeto de educação moral ofertado por José da Silva Lisboa, o visconde de Cairu (1756-1835) por meio de seu livro Escola Brasileira ou Instrucção Útil a todas as classes junto com a Lei das Escolas de Primeiras Letras, ambos de 1827, no Brasil. Silva Lisboa é um homem do Antigo Regime em fase de transição para um mundo moderno. Formou-se professor e magistrado na ilustração coimbrã e exerceu vários cargos na administração colonial e imperial. Arregimentado por D. João VI em 1808 fez da sua vida na Corte constante defesa do trono e do altar. Analisando seus livros e sua vida parlamentar vimos que sua participação no processo de construção das instituições brasileiras, com a criação de um modelo educacional, tornou-se parte natural de seu projeto intelectual. Refutando tudo aquilo que não devia se consolidar, por que trazia o sinal da barbárie, e conservando tudo aquilo que trazia os traços demonstrativos da civilização, dedicou-se à escrita de livros destinados à formação moral do cidadão brasileiro tendo como princípios a Fé, a Liberdade e a Ordem, mesclando um pensamento e uma linguagem liberal e conservadora.Brazilian School: the project of moral education for youth in José da Silva Lisboa, the Viscount of Cairu (1756-1835). This article is the result of a research whose objective was to investigate the project of moral education offered by José da Silva Lisboa, the viscount of Cairu (1756-1835) through his book Escola Brasileira ou Instrucção Útil a todas as classes along with Law of the Schools of First Letters, both of 1827, in Brazil. Silva Lisboa is a man of the Ancient Regime in phase of transition to a modern world. He trained as a teacher and magistrate in the Coimbra University illustration and held various positions in colonial and imperial administration. Arranged by King John VI in 1808 made his life in the Court constant defense of the throne and altar. Analyzing his books and his parliamentary life we saw that his participation in the process of building Brazilian institutions, with the creation of an educational model, became a natural part of his intellectual project. Refuting everything that should not consolidate, because it bore the sign of barbarism, and preserving everything that bore the demonstrative traits of civilization, he devoted himself to the writing of books destined to the moral formation of the Brazilian citizen, having as principles the Faith, the Liberty and the Order, mixing liberal and conservative thinking and language.

O coronel e o professor: o ensino público na dinâmica do sistema coronelista de poder na região de colonização italiana
Authors: Balbinot Giovani , Groders Jéssica Adriana Pacheco
Published: September 2017

Diferentes trocas de favores e práticas clientelistas são claramente observáveis durante o período republicano brasileiro. A fim de sempre manter um expressivo plantel de eleitores, os partidos republicanos lançavam mão das mais variadas técnicas para a manutenção da base sufragista. No Rio Grande do Sul uma das moedas de troca, e meio para preservação da base, estava relacionada ao ensino público e suas escolas. Tanto a localização, quanto os professores que ministrariam as “aulas públicas”, se tornaram moedas de barganha entre o Presidente do Estado, os coronéis locais e os eleitores. E tal ação é claramente percebida na região de colonização italiana, como apresenta o artigo a seguir.The coronel and the teachar: public education in the dynamics of the coronelist system power in the italian colonization region. Different exchanges of favors and clientelists practices are clearly observable during the Brazilian Republican period. In order to maintain an expressive constituency of voters, the republican parties used the most varied techniques to maintain the suffragist base. In Rio Grande do Sul one of the exchange coins, and a way for preserving the base, was related to public education and its schools. Both the location and the teachers who would teach the "public lessons" became bargaining chips between the President of the State, the local colonels, and the voters. And this action is clearly perceived in the region of Italian colonization, as presented in the following article. Keywords: Coronelism; Education; Rio Grande do Sul.
Indícios de interdições ao discurso feminino e suas formas de resistência: a revista Careta e a vontade de verdade (1914-1918)
Authors: Frazão Fernanda Conceição Costa
Published: September 2017

Ao longo do século XX, as mulheres conquistaram novos espaços nas relações sociopolíticas. Eram marcantes as restrições à atuação sócio política feminina, que se pautavam em uma sociedade de padrões patriarcais, que julgava o sexo feminino inferior nas relações humanas. Este trabalho apresenta enunciados da revista de variedades Careta, fonte para delimitar os exercícios de poder históricos através da circulação de enunciados que serviam tanto à informação quanto à instrução da sociedade de um modo geral. Para as mulheres, orientações de comportamento e a expressão de opiniões sobre a atualidade efervescente e diversa, como forma de conformá-las ao destino de recato ou por vezes sugerindo ironia em observar as disparidades entre masculino e feminino. Em contraponto às determinações de um lugar de recato, destaca-se também indícios de resistência feminina aos saberes e poderes que oprimiam e naturalizavam um lugar de silêncio para elas. O movimento dos acontecimentos históricos sugere margens habitadas por possibilidades latentes de respostas à ordem vigente. O movimento sufragista, a Primeira Guerra, a Escola Normal, com ou sem teor de movimento pelos direitos femininos são apresentados como meios de propor o debate sobre a tensão estabelecida no jogo de forças e poder entre o masculino e o feminino.Indications of interditions to the feminine speech and its forms of resistance: the Careta magazine and the will of truth (1914-1918). Throughout the 20th century, women gained new spaces in socio-political relations. There were striking restrictions on the socio-political feminine performance, which were based on a society of patriarchal standards, which judged the female sex inferior in human relations. This paper presents statements from the variety magazine Careta, a source for delimiting historical power exercises through the circulation of statements that served both information and instruction of society in general. For women, behavioral guidelines and the expression of opinions on the effervescent and diverse present, as a way to conform them to the destiny of modesty or sometimes suggesting irony in observing the disparities between masculine and feminine. In contrast to the determinations of a place of modesty, there are also signs of female resistance to the knowledge and powers that oppressed and naturalized a place of silence for them. The movement of historical events suggests margins inhabited by latent possibilities of responses to the prevailing order. The suffragist movement, the First War, the Normal School, with or without the content of the feminine rights movement, are presented as a means of proposing the debate on the tension established in the game of strength and power between the masculine and the feminine. Keywords: History of female education; Magazine Careta; Game of strength and power.
O conhecimento a serviço da fé: noções de ciência na Revista Vozes de Petrópolis (1907 a 1917)
Authors: Bilhão Isabel
Published: September 2017

Nas décadas iniciais do século XX, diante da laicização do ensino público, do avanço de correntes racionalistas e anticlericais e de novas religiões no país, a Igreja Católica precisou enfrentar uma inusitada concorrência na arena educacional. A imprensa tornou-se uma importante arma de combate, largamente utilizada tanto por membros do clero, quanto por seus opositores. O artigo analisa um dos veículos participantes desse confronto: a Revista Vozes de Petrópolis. O periódico, fundado por freis franciscanos em 1907, propunha-se a colaborar para a formação de uma intelectualidade católica que pudesse responder aos desafios de seu tempo, especialmente através de artigos relacionados à ciência e à cultura. Com base na análise de excertos de textos publicados entre 1907 e 1917, objetiva-se identificar as concepções de ciência apresentadas na Revista e as estratégias argumentativas utilizadas pelos redatores, bem como observar as redes de relações em que estes estavam inseridos e suas possíveis influências na legitimação e circulação do periódico. Pretende-se, assim, contribuir para o alargamento das reflexões acerca da participação da imprensa católica nos embates em torno da definição e difusão do conhecimento científico no país nos primórdios do século XX.Knowledge at the service of faith: notions of science in Revista Vozes de Petrópolis (1907 a 1917). In the early decades of the twentieth century, due to the laicization of public education, the advance of rationalist and anticlerical currents and new religions in the country, The Catholic Church had to face an unusual competition in the educational arena. The press has become an important weapon of combat, much used by members of the clergy and their opponents. The article analyzes one of the vehicles participating in this confrontation: the Revista Vozes de Petrópolis. The periodical, founded by Franciscan friars in 1907, aimed at collaborating in the formation of Catholic intellectuals who could respond to the challenges of their time, especially by means of articles related to science and culture. Based on texts published between 1907 and 1917, we intend to identify the conceptions of science presented in the journal and the argumentative strategies used by the editors, as well as to observe the networks of relations in which they were inserted and their possible influences on the legitimacy and circulation of the periodical. The intention is to contribute to the reflection on the participation of the Catholic press in the struggles around the definition and diffusion of scientific knowledge in the country in the early twentieth century.

Aspects of Semantics of Standard British English and Nigerian English: A Contrastive Study
Authors: Chris Ajibade Adetuyi, , Adeola Adetomilayo Adeniran,
Published: September 2017

The concept of meaning is a complex one in language study when cultural features are added. This is mandatory because language cannot be completely separated from culture in which case language and culture complement each other. When there are two varieties of a language in a society, i.e. two varieties functioning side by side in a speech community, there is tendency for misconception. It is therefore imperative to make a linguistic comparative study of varieties of such languages. In this paper, a semantic contrastive study is made between Standard British English (SBE) and Nigerian English (NE). The semantic study is limited to aspects of semantics: semantic extension (Kinship terms, metaphors), semantic shift (lexical items considered are ‘drop’ ‘befriend’ ‘dowry’ and escort) acronyms (NEPA, JAMB, NTA) linguistic borrowing or loan words (Seriki, Agbada, Eba, Dodo, Iroko) coinages (long leg, bush meat; bottom power and juju). In the study of these aspects of semantics of SBE and NE lexical terms, conservative statements are made, problems areas and hierarchy of difficulties are highlighted with a view to bringing out areas of differences. The study will also serve as a guide in further contrastive studies in some other levels of languages.

Published: September 2017

The comfort of shoes is especially important for children whose feet are in the period of growth and development. However, many children's shoes on the market are too adult, or even an adult shoes shrink version. Whereas their morphologies are quite different, such shoes not only can not offer appropriate wear comfort for children but also hinder the healthy development of their foot. In addition, the distinction of children foot in different age groups is also very obvious. This paper mainly analyzes the foot characteristics of children in different age stages, such as foot morphologies, skeletal development and gait, summarizes the factors that affect the comfort of children's shoes, and provides some suggestions for the purchase of children's footwear.
Personality Record and Its Role in Procedure (Case Study: Article 203 of Criminal Procedure Law)
Authors: Fereydooni Parastoo , Ramezani Ahmad
Published: September 2017

Stability of delinquency phenomenon refers to the continuance of an anti-social behavior. The recognition criteria of this phenomenon can be analyzed based on the dominant social frameworks. Analyzing the personality of delinquents and adapting it to specific techniques of delinquency prevention also promoting the compatibility of delinquents with the environment is a process that requires biopsychosocial studies. Personality record consists of the results of psychological, medical, and social studies and experiments regarding the personality of defendants and delinquents. Personality record plays an important role in criminal justice management. The criminal procedure law has been presented in Articles 203 and 286 of the criminal law of Iran. Personality record is one of the achievements of clinical criminology. Criminal criminology analyzes the corrigibility of delinquents using other related sciences. It also identifies the deviation rate and possible dangers of dangerous individuals. Then it becomes possible to take measures to treat the particular disorders of delinquents. Considering these matters, the recent research aims at answering the question regarding the effect of young individuals’ personality on the stability of delinquency. The main objective of this research is analyzing the role of personality record and techniques of preventing stability of delinquency among young individuals. The results of the recent research indicate that criminal procedure law has emphasized on the role of personality record in identifying penalties. However, according to the criminal procedure law, the process of analyzing the personality of delinquents has been limited to preliminary investigations.
Intelligent Retail Forecasting System for New Clothing Products Considering Stock-out
Authors: Huang He , Huang He , Liu Qiurui
Published: September 2017

Improving the accuracy of forecasting is crucial but complex in the clothing industry, especially for new products, with the lack of historical data and a wide range of factors affecting demand. Previous studies more concentrate on sales forecasting rather than demand forecasting, and the variables affecting demand remained to be optimized. In this study, a two-stage intelligent retail forecasting system is designed for new clothing products. In the first stage, demand is estimated with original sales data considering stock-out. The adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is introduced into the second stage to forecast demand. Meanwhile a data selection process is presented due to the limited data of new products. The empirical data are from a Canadian fast-fashion company. The results reveal the relationship between demand and sales, demonstrate the necessity of integrating the demand estimation process into a forecasting system, and show that the ANFIS-based forecasting system outperforms the traditional ANN technique.

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE 500 PLUS FAMILY PROGRAM AS AN IMPACT FACTOR OF FAMILY POLICY IN FAMILY INVESTMENT IN POLAND
Authors: Gwoździewicz Sylwia , Prokopowicz Dariusz
Published: September 2017

n Poland since the beginning of the systemic transformation of the 1990s, the relatively low incomes of many families have been relatively low. Similar relationships exist in terms of material, housing and financial savings. Launched in April 2016, the 500 Plus Program contributes to a significant reduction in the scale of this socially and economically disadvantageous relationship, i.e. the current lowest profitability in families with many children. Moreover, the profitability and generating of surplus financial households in Poland are on average several times lower than in the financial situation of families in Western European countries. The strategic goal in this way of developing family policy is to increase the fertility in Poland in the coming years, which is to counteract the unfavorable demographic trends of the aging population. It is now assumed that the 500 Plus Program should work positively on the strategic socio-economic objective of reducing the demographic aging of the population, i.e. limiting the potential for publication in the perspective of the next few years of insolvency conducted by the Social Insurance Institution of the participatory pension system. The 500 Plus program is an important instrument for a comprehensive family investment policy in Poland.

Definition of Mass Spring Parameters for Knitted Fabric Simulation Using the Imperialist Competitive Algorithm
Authors: Mozafary Vajiha , Payvandy Pedram
Published: September 2017

The 3D simulation of fabrics is an interesting issue in many fields, such as computer engineering, textile engineering, cloth design and so on. Several methods have been presented for fabric simulation. The mass spring model, a typical physically-based method, is one of the methods for fabric simulation which is widely considered by researchers due to rapid simulation and being more consistent with reality. The aim of this paper is the optimization of mass spring parameters in the simulation of the drape behaviour of knitted fabric using the Imperialist Competitive Algorithm. First a mass spring model is proposed to simulate the drape behavior of knitted fabric. Then in order to reduce the error value between the simulated and actual result (reducing the simulation error value), parameters of the mass spring model such as the stiffness coefficient, damping coefficient, elongation rate, topology and natural length of the spring are optimized using the Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA). The ICA parameters are specified using the Taguchi Design of Experiment. Finally fabrics drape shapes are simulated in other situations and compared with their actual results to validate the model parameters. Results show that the optimized model is able to predict the drape behavior of knitted fabric with an error value of 2.4 percent.
Local Optimization of Bonnet Thickness in Global Heat Balance of Neonate
Authors: Korycki Ryszard
Published: September 2017

Global heat transport for an neonate body is determined by means of heat balance with the term describing evaporation. The heat storage rate is the unbalanced difference between the metabolic heat production and various heat loss mechanisms within all body parts. The most sensitive portion is the head, which forces local optimization of the bonnet thickness. The local problem is described by differential heat and mass transport equations and the set of conditions. The changeable covering area of the bonnet can equalise the global heat balance and prevent hyperthermia or hypothermia.
Effect of Temperature, Simulated Breathingand Storage Conditions on the Filtration Efficiency of Biodegradable Bioactive Filters
Authors: Majchrzycka Katarzyna , Okrasa Małgorzata
Published: September 2017

In the case of exposure to inhalation of pathogenic microorganisms, it is necessary to usefiltering respiratory protective equipment (FRPE). When this problem concerns the sphere of non-professional use it is important to ensure the disposal of waste equipment in an environmentally safe way. The use of biodegradable nonwovens with biocidal properties in the construction of FRPE could be a good solution to this problem as their degradation time is short in comparison with traditionally used polypropylene. Bioactivity of the nonwoven would ensure the elimination of biological contaminants collected within the filtering material. However, due to the biodegradability, the properties of such materials might change during use. At the same time there are no testing procedures allowing the evaluation of protective parameter changes during the use and storage of FRPE made of biodegradable polymers. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of temperature, simulated breathing and storage conditions on the filtration efficiency of biodegradable bioactive filters prepared by melt-blowing from poly(lactic) acid polymer modified with biocidal agent. The results showed that elevated temperature greatly affects the filtration efficiency of biodegradable filters. A statistically significant decrease in the filtration efficiency after breathing simulation and storage was also observed.

Published: September 2017

In this paper researches were carried out on fragments of textiles from the 18[sup]th[/sup] century from Dubrovnik, for which, based on the design and art-historical analysis, it was determined that it was a part of an object (pluvial, cope) from liturgical vestments (ecclesiastical textiles) of the Dubrovnik diocese. Using modern non-destructive and micro-destructive methods we conducted the identification of green, blue and red as the dominant tones on the artefacts of historical textiles from Dubrovnik. The identification was based on the application of modern complementary techniques: UV / VIS, HPLC, SEM-EDX and FTIR-ATR. We analysed samples of coloured fiber, as well as ones obtained by the extraction of dyes from the dyed fibers.

Authors: Kos Lech
Published: September 2017

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of organic coagulants on sludge sedimentation and the quality of textile wastewater. The amount of sludge and its sedimentation properties depended on the type of coagulant as well as on the composition and ionic nature of compounds present in the wastewater. In view of the amount of sludge formed it was preferable to use organic coagulants Perrustol IPD and chitosan and a mixed organic-inorganic coagulant Alcat. Depending on the wastewater type, colour reduction was as follows: for Fercat from 38 to 90%, Alcat from 71 to 95%, Perrustol IPD around 65%, chitosan from 72 to 90%, and for ferrous sulfate from 67 to 100%. The reduction of COD depended on the wastewater type: for Fercat it was from 19 to 66%, Alcat from 23 to 81%, Perrustol IPD about 23%, chitosan from 10 to 52%, and ferrous sulfate from 10 to 64%.
Study of approaches to incipient fault detection in power transformer by using dissolved gas analysis
Authors: Liepniece Ruta , Vitolina Sandra , Marks Janis
Published: September 2017

To maintain the reliability of power transmission it is important to detect the incipient fault of power transformer as early as possible. If the fault of a power transformer is not detected promptly, it can evolve resulting in high repair costs or even failure of the power transformer and decreasing reliability of power transmission. The most commonly used method for power transformer fault detection is the dissolved gas analysis (DGA) of transformer oil. Various methods have been developed to interpret the data of dissolved gas analysis, but not many are applicable for the detection of the incipient fault.
The detection of the incipient fault of a power transformer is included in both IEEE C57.104-2008 “Guide for the Interpretation of Gases Generated in Oil-Immersed Transformers” and Standard of Latvian Electrotechnical Committee LEK 118 “Transformer Oil Inspection Standards”. In both standards, the limits of dissolved gases in transformer oil are divided into levels, each corresponding to different technical conditions of the power transformer including the level that indicates the incipient fault. However, these approaches vary to a great degree – one approach mostly indicates that transformers are in good condition with several cases that must be additionally evaluated, but the second approach mostly results in warning about the incipient fault, which must be confirmed by additional evaluation.
The objective of this paper is to determine the most suitable approach to detect the incipient fault of power transformers. A case study is provided, which includes analysis of DGA data of 48 power transformers installed in the transmission network in Latvia with both methodologies mentioned above for detecting the incipient fault.

Published: September 2017

O presente trabalho tem como principal objetivo analisar a gestão ambiental de forma a obter o nível de sustentabilidade ambiental em uma escola e fazer a comparação do que mudou depois de seis anos do primeiro estudo realizado na mesma. A metodologia aplicada é descritiva, incluindo um estudo de caso. Foi aplicada uma lista de verificação com 103 perguntas na instituição, através de uma entrevista semi-estruturada e os dados coletados foram utilizados de forma qualitativa. Como base na fundamentação teórica, descreve-se a contabilidade ambiental, gestão ambiental e o SICOGEA. Em seguida, o estudo de caso é apresentado, introduzido por um breve histórico da escola seguido pelas investigações necessárias. Concluiu- se que a escola exibe uma sustentabilidade total de 74,52 %, o que é um nível adequado, superando as expectativas do primeiro estudo. Podem-se notar algumas deficiências, como nos critérios indicadores gerencias e alimentação dos alunos, onde se observou que ainda falta percepção ambiental.

A liderança é um tema recorrente no mundo acadêmico, há muito tempo vem sendo temas de importantes pesquisas. Com a atual diversificação dos tipos de organizações e a complexidade das equipes a serem lideradas, se verifica que o tema não caiu em “démodé”, muito pelo contrário, se torna cada vez mais necessário o estudo dos diversos estilos de liderança, de modo que possamos assinalar estilo adequado para cada tipo de organização, situação ou equipe. Com a perspectiva atual da diversificação dos tipos de organizações e a complexidade das equipes a serem lideradas, em meio ao período de transição entre a sociedade industrial e a sociedade do conhecimento, o desenvolvimento de líderes alinhados aos objetivos organizacionais ganha um papel importantíssimo para o crescimento da organização. A liderança vem recebendo, cada vez mais, um papel de destaque. Uma nova era vem surgindo. A linguagem emergente é da política e o discurso atual consiste em alianças, equipes, delegação de poderes e espaço para iniciativa. O tema liderança passou a ser estudada tanto pelos os lideres tanto pelos liderados. Essa diversidade de estudos ao mesmo tempo em que contribui para o arcabouço da temática, trouxe conceitos diferentes, passando a definir liderança partindo da perspectiva individual, ressaltando as características mais relevantes de um determinado estilo. O conhecimento teórico-histórico de um dado campo do conhecimento é essencial para sua práxis, sendo assim, a presente pesquisa, partindo em busca de dirimir lacunas e contribuir para o arcabouço científico na temática da liderança, buscou descrever as principais abordagens teóricas da liderança pela perspectiva da Administração e identificar as teorias mais relevantes dentro de cada abordagem.

WSPU Rhetoric: Justifying Militancy
Authors: Högagarð Emilie Boutrup
Published: September 2017

This article investigates the rhetoric employed by the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU) in the UK during the campaign for women’s suffrage. It argues that the rhetoric, as a result of adopting a militant approach, increasingly served the purpose of justifying the method rather than the cause. Based on an analysis of speeches by leading members of the WSPU, the article finds that the Union rhetoric justified the use of militancy by systematically drawing on democratic and social values, attacking the credibility of the legislators, promoting binary thinking and situating the conflict within the framework of a “just war.”
Critical Overview: Gender and Tentative Language
Authors: Sommerlund Kristina
Published: September 2017

This article is concerned with the relationship between tentative language and gender. In 1975, linguist Robin Lakoff hypothesized that women tended to use unassertive speech forms because of their inferior and powerless position in society. On the basis of these assertions by Lakoff, this article seeks to create a critical overview of various studies that have consulted the issue of women’s use of tentative language. Specifically, the article is concerned with hedging, investigating whether women have been found to use this linguistic device more often than men. The article consults five different studies on gender and tentative language, discusses the strengths and weaknesses of these studies, and finally, the article discusses whether the studies overall show any significant differences in the way men and women use unassertive speech forms.
Pride and Prejudice: A Bildungsroman
Authors: Svendsen Amalie Due
Published: September 2017

Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice has previously been situated as a romance novel. Critics such as Pamela Regis support reading the novel as a romance: She states that the novel shows the most characteristic features of the genre, as it focuses on a female protagonist and the goal of marriage. However, the romance genre does not embrace the individual character development of the protagonist, Elizabeth Bennet, which I find central to the novel. I therefore argue that this development justifies reading the novel in terms of the Bildungsroman genre. This article will examine the central features of the Bildungsroman genre and how these are expressed in Elizabeth’s mental and behavioural development throughout the novel. Consequently, the presence of these genre features situates Pride and Prejudice as a Bildungsroman.
Inhibition of DYRK1A disrupts neural lineage specificationin human pluripotent stem cells

Genetic analysis has revealed that the dual specificity protein kinase DYRK1A has multiple roles in the development of the central nervous system. Increased DYRK1A gene dosage, such as occurs in Down syndrome, is known to affect neural progenitor cell differentiation, while haploinsufficiency of DYRK1A is associated with severe microcephaly. Using a set of known and newly synthesized DYRK1A inhibitors, along with CRISPR-mediated gene activation and shRNA knockdown of DYRK1A, we show here that chemical inhibition or genetic knockdown of DYRK1A interferes with neural specification of human pluripotent stem cells, a process equating to the earliest stage of human brain development. Specifically, DYRK1A inhibition insulates the self-renewing subpopulation of human pluripotent stem cells from powerful signals that drive neural induction. Our results suggest a novel mechanism for the disruptive effects of the absence or haploinsufficiency of DYRK1A on early mammalian development, and reveal a requirement for DYRK1A in the acquisition of competence for differentiation in human pluripotent stem cells.
