Authors: Ferreira Bruno Martins , Zanotto Luana , Alves Fernando Donizete
Published: October 2018

Este artigo busca compreender os processos educativos consolidados com pessoas assistidas por uma entidade filantrópica em missões populares na área da saúde e refletir questões da humanização e da alteridade no trato das relações humanas. Reconhecemos a existência de processos educativos em práticas sociais desta origem, circunstâncias em que o ser humano se refaz como pessoa e estabelece particularidades no grupo no qual se insere. Com isso, pautado no viés da pesquisa social, o estudo contou com a participação de onze sujeitos, entre eles os membros da entidade e as pessoas assistidas. A partir das visitações junto à entidade, foi construído um conjunto de diários de campo. As experiências registradas foram analisadas na perspectiva qualitativa. A organização dos dados se deu com base na análise de conteúdo. Os resultados revelaram as seguintes categorias: i) aprendizados nas trocas de saberes de ‘experiência feito’, ii) educar-se com o diálogo: a prática amorosa na alteridade. Na primeira, emergiram aprendizagens significativas nas trocas de saberes de experiências entre as pessoas, sobretudo acerca dos saberes populares em saúde. A segunda, por sua vez, demonstrou ser possível educar-se na dialogicidade, a partir da prática amorosa sedimentada na alteridade. Assim, as visitações possibilitaram o compartilhamento e compreensões de mundos distintos, tendo no respeito e na amorosidade as condições primordiais para a valorização das visões de mundo dos envolvidos no processo.
Tendências e práticas de aproximação entre os textos literários e o ensino de ciências
Authors: Pinto Sabrine Lino , Vermelho Sônia Cristina
Published: October 2018

Considerando a importância do hábito da leitura como prática social que possibilite a articulação da literatura aos conteúdos científicos para auxiliar os professores de ciências no processo de ensino-aprendizagem e motivar os alunos a aprender, foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica com o objetivo de investigar o que tem sido produzido acerca da relação ensino de ciências e literatura trabalhada no ensino fundamental dentro do espaço escolar. Para tanto, realizou-se um estudo bibliométrico exploratório e descritivo em 05 (cinco) bases de dados, cuja busca foi feita pelos termos literatura, ensino de ciências, alfabetização e educação científica, que levaram a uma seleção final de 20 trabalhos analisados na íntegra. Os resultados mostraram que, embora a inclusão de textos literários em sala de aula promovem o diálogo produtivo para o processo de ensino-aprendizagem de ciências, é uma temática que merece ser mais explorada, tanto nas pesquisas de revisão da literatura, como também de experiências práticas, o que permite concluir que, no que tange à relação biblioteca e ensino de ciências, se trata de um assunto muito pouco explorado, quase inédito, pois, não foi recuperado na busca nenhum artigo que tratasse dessa relação.
O ensino de ciências naturais nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental: um olhar a partir dos docentes de uma escola da baixada fluminense do Rio de Janeiro
Authors: Costa Maria José Machado , Pereira Marcus Vinicius
Published: October 2018

O ensino de Ciências Naturais é desvalorizado no ensino fundamental na medida em que passa a ser preconizado pelos próprios sistemas de ensino a partir da construção dos conteúdos mínimos e do tempo destinado para se trabalhar a disciplina em sala de aula. A fim de investigarmos esse pressuposto, apresentamos neste artigo um estudo sobre as práticas pedagógicas desenvolvidas por professoras dos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental no âmbito do ensino de Ciências Naturais. Para tal, foi realizada uma pesquisa de campo com 18 professoras em uma escola municipal na região da Baixada Fluminense do estado do Rio de Janeiro. Constatou-se que os conteúdos são trabalhados a partir do livro didático pelas professoras, que, por sua vez, apresentam dificuldade em desenvolver atividades prático-experimentais, consideradas essenciais no ensino de Ciências Naturais. Dessa forma, é responsabilidade da secretaria de educação reavaliar o ensino de Ciências Naturais, se debruçando sobre a formação dos professores para trabalharem essa disciplina com a implantação de programas de formação continuada em serviço e melhoria das condições de trabalho.

O professor como sujeito da reforma do ensino médio: uma análise a partir dos documentos oficiais
Authors: Alves Marcos Fernando Soares , Magalhães Júnior Carlos Alberto de Oliveira
Published: October 2018

O texto, caracterizado como um estudo documental, se propõe a analisar alguns pontos polêmicos da Lei n° 13.415/2017 e dados divulgados pelo Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anísio Teixeira sobre a Educação Básica e o ensino superior, buscando identificar e discutir, com base na literatura especializada, o cenário educacional ao qual a Reforma do Ensino Médio foi inserida. A ênfase do trabalho são as informações disponíveis sobre os docentes que atuam no Ensino Médio. Na tentativa de inferir sobre os motivos para se estabelecer uma reforma acelerada e sem diálogo com a sociedade ou a comunidade educacional, o trabalho aponta que os interesses da restruturação desta etapa de ensino recaem, principalmente, sobre os gargalos historicamente apresentados pelo estado na formação inicial de professores.
Sociologia e antirracismo: a experiência do PIBID no desenvolvimento de práticas pedagógicas de combate ao racismo e valorização da diferença étnico-racial
Authors: Faisting André Luiz , Aguiar Márcio Mucedula
Published: October 2018

O artigo apresenta a importância do referencial teórico dos estudos culturais e pós-coloniais como ferramenta para desnaturalização de estereótipos étnicos e raciais. Partindo de experiências realizadas no PIBID de Ciências Sociais da Universidade Federal da Grande Dourados, uma região marcada pela forte presença indígena e pela negação das diferenças étnico-raciais, o projeto procura demonstrar a viabilidade da formação de professores de Sociologia que articula pesquisa e ensino como atividades indissociáveis, bem como o uso de mídias digitais como instrumento para construção de uma sociologia crítica atraente aos alunos do ensino médio. Considerando que nas regiões de fronteira os conflitos traduzem de forma mais intensa uma concepção da alteridade marcada pelo viés eurocêntrico e colonial, conclui-se que a percepção crítica deste viés é primordial para construção de uma educação que promova o reconhecimento à diferença e uma sintonia entre a disciplina de Sociologia e as diretrizes de implementação das leis que dispõem sobre a obrigatoriedade do ensino da história e cultura afro-brasileira, africana e indígena.
Airborne lidar data classification in complex urban area using random forest: a case study of Bergama, Turkey
Authors: CANAZ SEVGEN Sibel
Published: October 2018

Airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data have been increasingly used for classification of urban areas in the last decades. Classification of urban areas is especially crucial to separate the area into classes for urban planning, mapping, and change detection monitoring purposes. In this study, an airborne LiDAR data of a complex urban area from Bergama District, İzmir, Turkey were classified into four classes; buildings, trees, asphalt road, and ground. Random Forest (RF) supervised classification method is selected as classification algorithm and pixel-wise classification was performed. Ground truth of the area was generated by digitizing classes into features to select training data and to validate the results. The selected study area from Bergama district is complex in urban planning of buildings, road, and ground. The buildings are very close to each other, and trees are also very close to buildings and sometimes cover the rooftops of buildings. The most challenging part of this study is to generate ground truth in such a complex area. According to the obtained classification results, the overall accuracy of the results is found as 70, 20%. The experimental results showed that the algorithm promises reliable results to classify airborne LiDAR data into classes in a complex urban area.
Aspect-ratio Dependence of Optical Nonlinearities on Resonance with Longitudinal Surface Plasmon in Au Nanorods: Unique Character versus Common Behavior
Authors: Nature Science
Published: October 2018

Unique character and common behavior are two distinguished things. In frontier nanoscience and nanotechnology, unique characters were normally obtained in some novel exotics materials such as metal-metal core-shell materials, metallic-semiconducting hybrid nanomaterials, and  organic-inorganics complex nano-compounds. On the other hand, normal behavior of natural phenomena including in nano-size objects were obviously predicted based on their exact size related to confinement effect, and capability to interact with another physical system  in nature.  Here, we report an example of unique character due to evolution nonlinear behavior observed in gold nanorod with their aspect-ratio dependence of optical nonlinearities investigated by femtosecond Z-scan measurements closed to resonance longitudinal surface plasmon peak in gold nanorods (Au NRs). Saturable absorption manifests itself at low excitation (laser irradiances < ~7.0 GW/cm2), while reverse saturable absorption dominates at higher excitation. Both the nonlinear processes are found to increase with the aspect ratio of Au NRs.  Based on the discrete dipole approximation, qualitative explanations are presented for the observed nonlinear behavior. While common behavior in metallic quantum dots or other shapes of metallic nanomaterials was not the significant in our observation.

Existence of periodic solutions for two types of second-order nonlinear neutral integro-differential equations with infinite distributed mixed-delays
Authors: Gabsi Hocine , Ardjouni Abdelouaheb , Djoudi Ahcene
Published: October 2018

We consider two types of second-order neutral functional differential equations with infinite distributed delays and offer existence criteria for periodic solutions. During the process we invert the integro-differential equations into equivalent integral equations and derive suitable fixed point mappings. We show that these mappings fit into the framework of Schauder's fixed point theorem so that periodic solutions are readily obtained.
Reorganization of the public utility companies
Authors: Smojver Željko , Stumpf Gorana , Schiozzi Donald
Published: October 2018

This scientific paper includes an analysis of the provision of public city transport services and explores a new organizational model regarding the city companies, i.e. public utility companies and companies operating within a local self-government unit. The model includes separate groups of utility activities and commercial activities and centralizes the supporting functions into a new company, which will be in charge of joint affairs, thus creating a synergy. Such model ultimately generates higher revenues, higher service quality, higher operations efficiency and lower operating costs. The purpose of this scientific paper was to determine the compatibility of the public utility companies’ operations within a local self-government unit and to identify areas for improvement, which would ensure more efficient business operations. Under the assumption that the existing, general organizational structure has no conditions for a more optimal functioning, it is necessary to observe the subsystems, i.e. the elements or components and to repeat the procedure until reaching a solution which improves the functioning of the system at the level of observing it as a separate whole. An analysis of the public utility system’s productivity was carried out and the existence of compatibility among services, which would lead to synergies and business optimization, was examined. The research results indicate a fact that the introduction of the model for separate grouping of supporting activities and commercial activities creates a uniform quality, avoids data doubling, allows for a better workload organization and a more efficient planning leading to a higher level of productivity.
The analysis of the maintenance systems of a LPG carrier’s liquefaction system main components
Authors: Vorkapić Aleksandar , Kralj Predrag , Martinović Dragan
Published: October 2018

The introductory part of this paper offers an overview of approaches on general marine maintenance and clarifies the significance of modern maintenance techniques, as well as their application in shipping practice. Unplanned down times and accidents, which result from inappropriate maintenance, create additional expenses. In today’s shipping practice the widely shared concept of planned maintenance is not the most effective of the approaches. The appropriate maintenance system needs to prevent or reduce down times. Modern condition-based and reliability-centered maintenance systems recognize the market demand for a better ratio of the invested funds and complex tasks that the maintenance systems need to fulfill. The paper further analyses the possibilities of adjusting the maintenance intervals, which are shown on the example of a modern system for cargo liquefaction on a liquefied petroleum gas tanker.
Contribution to the implementation of “Green Port” concept in Croatian seaports
Authors: Badurina Paola , Cukrov Marijan , Dundović Čedomir
Published: October 2018

The port systems have been identified as major energy consumers. They represent the systems that have difficulty in the adaption of innovative solutions with regard to energy savings and energy efficiency. The most of port systems are using the outdated technology for the measurement of energy consumption and because of the mentioned facts they do not contribute to energy efficiency, environmental protection and sustainable development. On the contrary, seaports are one of the main drivers of the pressure on the environment, especially because of the fact that most of the seaports and terminals are located close to the urban areas (city areas). This paper presents the proposals relevant for the transformation of seaports into environmental friendly ports, based on the “GREEN PORT” DEVELOPMENT project proposal, which is submitted by the Intermodal Transport Cluster (Croatia), on Adriatic-Ionian Programme INTERREG V-B Transnational 2014-2020. Some proposals require advanced technology and resources, while others, such as, thimplementation of the so called model of “Green Port” development do not require any special skills. These proposals represent a small contribution to the great effort to energy efficiency, environment protection and sustainable development.

Authors: Pavlić Skender Helga , Mirković Petra Adelajda , Prudky Ivan
Published: October 2018

The purpose of this paper is to understand the concept of a fourth-party logistics provider and to identify his functions and importance for an organization. Although the concept of fourth-party logistics provider is present in academic researches for a relatively long time, it still remains underestimated. The paper presents a conceptual model that is based on the research of fourth-party logistics provider within the exsisting theorethical and empirical literature. The results have shown that fourth-party logistics provider is not incorporated enough into contemporary supply chain solutions, although a growing demand for it is evident. Future research may be broadened by implementing both qualitative and quantitative approach to evaluate the impact of fourth-party logistics provider on a business performance distinguishing among industries. This paper provides a knowledge-based conceptual framework to understand the value of fourth-party logistics provider inclusion in an organisation supply chain.
Marine Pollution Differentiation with Stable Isotopes of Groundwater
Authors: Mance Diana , Mance Davor , Vukić Lušić Darija
Published: October 2018

Stock and flow pollution differentiation is the basis for efficient pollution-abatement mechanism designs. The focus of our research has been marine pollution from land-based sources. Stable isotope analysis of groundwater is an acknowledged method for karst aquifer characterisation. We have tested whether stable isotopes of water, when used as a proxy for groundwater dynamics in the karst, could also be used as an indicator of marine pollution differentiation in terms of flow and stock pollution. The focus has been on two close coastal locations characterized by differences in terms of open and closed sea as well as anthropogenic pressure. A static Estimated General Least Squares (EGLS) statistical model described the closed bay location suggesting stock pollution. For a good description of the open sea location, we have had to resort to dynamic Generalised Method of Moments (GMM) statistical modelling, indicating flow pollution. Stable isotopes of groundwater together with appropriate statistical tools have proved to be a useful tool of marine pollution differentiation into stock or flow.

Published: October 2018

In this paper is presented an analysis of main and auxiliary steam energy flow streams from steam generators during the increase in steam system load at conventional LNG carrier. During the steam system load increase was presented differences in steam pressure and temperature between main and auxiliary steam flow streams. Energy power of the auxiliary flow stream is higher than energy power of the main flow stream only at the lowest steam system loads after which main flow stream takes over primacy at middle and high steam system loads. Cumulative auxiliary energy flow stream was divided on energy flow streams to each auxiliary device and energy power consumption of each auxiliary device was also investigated throughout number steam system loads. Analysis of steam production from marine steam generators presented in this paper provides insight into the operation dynamics of the entire steam propulsion system.
Maritime Common Good and Coastal Zone Management
Authors: Debelić Borna
Published: October 2018

This paper aims to develop the concept and the definition of the maritime common good, its sub components and sub layers and to classify and analytically systematize it in the framework of modern theories addressing economic goods. Possible theoretical advancements and extensions in classification criteria are provided. International formal institutional framework is presented and elaborated. The accent is given to the development of theoretical concept and classification of economic goods as well as development of the Institutional Analysis and Development framework – IAD framework that is used to provide analytical understanding of the maritime good classification as well as allocation problems arising. This is performed in the light of ICZM protocol addressing coastal zones as of special concern particularly considering the intensive interrelations between humans and coastal zones. According to the developed classification criteria and analysis performed, the maritime good, as a complex good, can be classified dominantly as common good with limited renewability. The importance of further advancements of maritime common good governing mechanisms based on stakeholders’ inclusion into decision making process is emphasized in order to strengthen the potential of the mechanisms itself and the information background necessary for a successful management of the complex maritime common good.
Institutional Modelling of Integrated PPT System in Urban Agglomerations
Authors: Smojver Željko , Baričević Hrvoje , Schiozzi Donald
Published: October 2018

Urban agglomerations (centres with gravitating settlements in the suburbs) are examples of overpopulated urban structure with almost permanent peak load. Selection of public transport is the fundamental issue in planning the expansion of the existing one, or in constructing a new form of urban public transport system. Achieving a higher level of using mass public transport can also be inspired by building intermodal terminals (e.g. bus-train/urban railways/-car). However, apart from the urban railway, funicular, bicycle subsystem and maritime transport should be included as alternative public transport modalities as well. According to the problem described in this scientific paper, the suggested model is that of integration of all forms of public passenger service with a unique organisation, unified payment collection, integrated timetable, all included into a unique information system. The results of research in this paper indicate that the first step of integration of the public passenger transportation implies founding regional transport administration.
A Review of Leadership Behaviour of Maritime Officers in International Shipping
Authors: Xhelilaj Ermal , Sakaj Bledar
Published: October 2018

Management or leadership behaviour is regarded as a crucial component for the responsibility, duty and role of young maritime officers. This is due to the difficult, harsh and complex working environment that the maritime industry represents today which makes the duties and tasks of a maritime officer harder to manage as well as to administer. In light of these considerations, this study will focus on the maritime management level and leadership models which must reflect a young maritime officer today, by analysing first the diverse perspectives in connection to the leadership definition, the controversy over the leadership theories and leadership in light of maritime officers’ position. The authors are of the opinion that each leadership style has its weaknesses and strengths; therefore, the effectiveness of the leadership style depends mainly on the demand of the situation, particularly in the maritime working sector – characterized by a harsh and complex environment.
Career doubt in a dual-domain model of coping and progress for university students' academic and career goals
Authors: Chamandy Melodie , Gaudreau Patrick
Published: October 2018

University students set career goals during their academic journey in order to facilitate their transition to the labor market. Career goals can nonetheless be accompanied by doubt, even among the most determined students. The purpose of this study (N = 234) was to investigate the role of career doubt on the progress made by university students in the simultaneous pursuit of their academic and career goals. We examined the mediating role of academic and career coping strategies in the relationship between career doubt and academic and career goal progress. The results from structural equation modeling revealed a significant indirect effect for task-oriented coping in the relationships between career doubt and both career progress and academic progress. Overall, these results clarify the mechanisms by which university students pursue their goals as a preliminary effort to inform practitioners about the role of coping to better prepare students for a successful transition to the labor market.

Meditation in context: factors that facilitate prosocial behavior
Authors: Condon Paul
Published: October 2018

Contemplative science experienced tremendous growth in the past five years in part through new attention to the social processes and prosocial outcomes associated with meditation. Despite this growth, questions persist about the mechanisms and contexts through which meditation increases or fails to increase prosocial behavior. In this article, I draw on Buddhist traditions and empirical efforts to understand the ethical and relational contexts that promote prosocial behavior. In summary, meditation promises a viable approach to increase prosocial behavior, but future research will require a careful, holistic examination of contemplative contexts that foster those outcomes.
Differential impact of disfiguring facial features on overt and covert attention

Observers can form negative impressions about faces that contain disfiguring features (e.g., scars). Previous research suggests that this might be due to the ability of disfiguring features to capture attention — as evidenced by contrasting observers' responses to faces with or without disfiguring features. This, however, confounds theeffects of salience and perceptual interpretation, i.e. whether the feature is seen as integral to the face, or separate from it. Furthermore, it remains unclear to what extent disfiguring features influence covert as well as overt attention. We addressed these issues by studying attentional effects by photographs of unfamiliar faces containing a unilateral disfigurement (a skin discoloration) or a visually similar control feature that was partly occluding the face. Disfiguring and occluding features were first matched for salience (Experiment 1). Experiments 2 and 3 assessed the effect of these features on covert attention in two cueing tasks involving discrimination of a (validly or invalidly cued) target in the presence of, respectively, a peripheral or central distractor face. In both conditions, disfigured and occluded faces did not differ significantly in their impact on response-time costs following invalid cues. In Experiment 4 we compared overt attention to these faces by analysing patterns of eye fixations during an attractiveness rating task. Critically, faces with disfiguring features attracted more fixations on the eyes and incurred a higher number of recurrent fixations compared to faces with salience-matched occluding features. Together, these results suggest a differential impact of disfiguring facial features on overt and covert attention, which is mediated both by the visual salience of such features and by their perceptual interpretation.
Statistical Learning as a Reference Point for Memory Distortions: Swap and Shift Errors

Humans use regularities in the environment to facilitate learning, often without awareness or intent. How might such regularities distort long-term memory? Here, participants studied and reported the colors of objects in a long-term memory paradigm, unaware that certain colors were sampled more frequently overall. When participants misreported an object’s color, these errors were often centered around the average studied color. We found that these swap errors reflected both false memory (where objects were misremembered as the average studied color) as well as biased guessing (where participants reported the average studied color when uncertain). Although less robust than swap errors, evidence was also observed for subtle shift errors towards or away from the average color dependent on the color distance between the memory item and the average studied color. These findings provide converging evidence for memory distortion mechanisms induced by a reference point, bridging a gap between visual working memory and visual long-term memory literature.
How do you know that? Automatic belief inferences in passing conversation

There is an ongoing debate, both in philosophy and psychology, as to whether people are able to automatically infer what others may know, or whether they can only derive belief inferences by deploying cognitive resources. Evidence from laboratory tasks, often involving false beliefs or visual-perspective taking, has suggested that belief inferences are cognitively costly, controlled processes. Here we suggest that in everyday conversation, belief reasoning is pervasive and therefore potentially automatic in some cases. To test this hypothesis, we conducted two pre-registered self-paced reading experiments (N1 = 91, N2 = 89). The results of these experiments showed that participants slowed down when a stranger commented ‘That greasy food is bad for your ulcer’ relative to conditions where a stranger commented on their own ulcer or a friend made either comment – none of which violated participants’ common- ground expectations. We conclude that Theory of Mind models need to account for belief reasoning in conversation as it is at the center of everyday social interaction.
Different features are stored independently in visual working memory but mediated by object-based representations

The question whether visual working memory (VWM) stores individual features or bound objects as basic units is actively debated. Evidence exists for both feature-based and object-based storages, as well as hierarchically organized representations maintaining both types of information at different levels. One argument for feature-based storage is that features belonging to different dimensions (e.g., color and orientations) can be stored without interference suggesting independent capacities for every dimension. Here, whether the lack of cross-dimensional interference reflects genuinely independent feature storages or mediated by common objects. In three experiments, participants remembered and recalled the colors and orientations of sets of objects. We independently manipulated set sizes within each feature dimension (making colors and orientations either identical or differing across objects). Critically, we assigned to-be-remembered colors and orientations either to same spatially integrated or to different spatially separated objects. We found that the precision and recall probability within each dimension was not affected be set size manipulations in a different dimension when the features belonged to integrated objects. However, manipulations with color set sizes did affect orientation memory when the features were separated. We conclude therefore that different feature dimensions can be encoded and stored independently but the advantage of the independent storages are mediated at the object-based level. This conclusion is consistent with the idea of hierarchically organized VWM.
Using Network Analysis to Compare Caregiver and Youth Reports of Youths’ Depressive Symptoms

Objective: Multi-informant assessment is the gold standard for youth depressive symptoms, and discrepancies in symptom reports across caregivers and youths can predict important clinical outcomes. However, discrepancies are typically only evaluated by comparing the means of sum scores across informants. We took a broader approach that involved: 1) evaluating discrepancies at the symptom level and 2) using mean-level and network structure comparisons. Method: Participants were clinically referred youths and their primary caregiver (N = 298 youth- caregiver pairings) ages 7-14. The sample was racially (52.68% Non-Caucasian) and socioeconomically (54.02% family income < $40,000 per year) diverse. We compared whether youths and caregivers differed significantly on their means for each depressive symptom. We then conducted a Network Comparison Test to gauge the extent to which youths and caregivers differed in the associations between pairs of symptoms. Results: Youths and their caregivers differed at the mean level on 12/21 symptoms, with caregivers reporting higher levels on all 12. However, youth-caregiver differences were found on only 3 of the 119 associations between pairs of symptoms (i.e., “edges”). Perfectionism – feels unloved was more strongly associated in the youth network, while won’t talk – secretive and rather be alone – uninvolved were more strongly associated in the caregiver network. Conclusions: A symptom-level, multi-method approach to caregiver and youth discrepancies revealed that our understanding of discrepancies might depend on the type of analysis we use (mean-level vs. network structure). Integrating the mean-level and network approaches may produce a richer, more clinically useful understanding of symptom-level cross-informant discrepancies.
