Para alterar este quadro, políticas públicas educacionais para o sistema prisional são criadas. O presente artigo tem como objetivo investigar o grau de escolaridade dos autores de crime de homicídio ocorridos em 2014, nos processos que tramitam perante a primeira vara criminal da comarca de União da Vitória, Estado do Paraná, bem como verificar os benefícios que o ensino universitário proporciona aos autores de crimes.
Strategy as Practice in the Structurationist Perspective: What it is and why it is? : Toward an Ontology of Practice of Strategy in Organizations
Authors: Marietto Marcio Luiz , Ribeiro Ivano , Serra Fernando Antonio Ribeiro
Published: March 2020

As a developing approach, Strategy as Practice appropriates other theories with converging ontological and epistemological assumptions to build its analytical body. Therefore, in this discipline the designs of Structurationism and the Historical-Cultural Activity Theory generally serve as the analytical basis, even though other theories such as Critical Realism, Sensemaking and Bourdieu’s concept of Habitus are alternative and/or complementary theories for the basic frameworks. This theoretical study offers a discussion on the appropriation of Structurationism that serves as one of the analytical theoretical structures of Strategy as Practice. The analytical procedure is guided by the central goal of discussing the ontological assumptions of Structurationism that support this perspective under the aegis of Strategy as Practice in the field of Organizational Strategy. For this purpose, the specific objectives are: a) to conduct a theoretical (albeit not exhaustive) review of Strategy as Practice; and b) to conduct a review of Giddens’ Theory of Structuration, followed by c) to offer a discussion on the theoretical/analytical specifics that Structurationism shown in studies of Strategy as Practice. The conclusion of the discussion shows adequate ontological agreement with the Structurationist assumptions adopted by the Strategy as Practice discipline, i.e., there is here a parallel intention to reveal an Ontology of Practice of Strategy in Organizations.

Authors: Paiva Costa Tangerino Davi de , Pablo Montiel Juan , Olive Henrique
Published: March 2020

Este trabalho visa a apresentar os elementos fundamentais relacionados à responsabilidade das pessoas jurídicas no Brasil e na Argentina. A importância deste estudo advém do fato de que ambos os países recentemente alteraram sua legislação com o objetivo de aprimorar a prevenção e implementar sanções quanto a atos de corrupção. Para isto, é analisado como estes países regulam a responsabilidade penal da pessoa jurídica, bem como os instrumentos instituídos para o combate à corrupção. Foi possível concluir que o Brasil adotou um sistema de responsabilidade civil e administrativa enquanto a Argentina optou por fazer da responsabilidade penal da pessoa jurídica seu principal instrumento de combate à corrupção. Em sequência, são apontados os contornos e os efeitos, de caráter mitigador de responsabilidade, da implementação de programas de compliance. Por fim, conclui-se que Brasil e Argentina tratam o combate a corrupção de forma significativamente diversa, em que pese a existência de grande similitude quanto a suas consequências na prática.

O DIÁLOGO INEVITÁVEL INTERAMERICANO E A CONSTRUÇÃO DO IUS CONSTITUTIONALE COMMUNE
Authors: Borges Bruno Barbosa , Piovesan Flávia
Published: March 2020

Uma profunda metamorfose é enfrentada pelo universo jurídico, em especial no campo dos direitos humanos, onde modelos multiníveis de tutela se desvelam, numa interessante articulação dialógica entre o direito constitucional e o direito internacional dos direitos humanos. Imerso neste ambiente novo e desafiador, delineado como uma rede de múltiplos níveis de proteção aos direitos humanos, encontra-se o Sistema regional interamericano. As peculiaridades desse sistema evidenciam-se no impositivo dever de harmonização dos ordenamentos jurídicos nacionais às normas e interpretações da Convenção Americana, bem como, nas diversas cláusulas de abertura ao direito internacional dos direitos humanos consagradas nas constituições latino-americanas. Com isso, concretiza-se um inevitável processo dialógico, externado por meio do controle de convencionalidade. Todo esse entrelaçamento entre os ordenamentos nacionais e o interamericano vem revelando e edificando o corpus iuris, e ao mesmo tempo, impulsionando a construção do Ius Constitutionale Commune na região.
The Status and Significance of Bayt al-Maqdis in Islam
Authors: Sabri Ikrime Sa’eed
Published: March 2020

In this commentary, the status and significance of Bayt al-Maqdis in Islam is discussed from a religious perspective. The importance of Bayt al-Maqdis is emphasized in the Qur’an and in the traditions (hadith) of Prophet Muhammad. The paper explains the significance of Bayt al-Maqdis by addressing the close bonds, unalienable rights, and firm ties that link Muslims to Bayt al-Maqdis and the land of Palestine. The author claims that there are four significant bonds through which Muslims link to Bayt al-Maqdis, namely bonds of creed, bonds of worship, bonds of civilization and culture, and historical bonds.
Capturing the Flexibility of a Protein-Ligand Complex: Binding Free Energies from Different Enhanced Sampling Techniques
Authors: Wingbermühle Sebastian , Schäfer Lars V.
Published: March 2020

Enhanced sampling techniques are a promising approach to obtain reliable binding free energy profiles for flexible protein-ligand complexes from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. To put four popular enhanced sampling techniques to a biologically relevant and challenging test, we studied the partial dissociation of an antigenic peptide from the Major Histocompatibility Complex I (MHC I) HLA-B*35:01 to systematically investigate the performance of Umbrella Sampling (US), Replica Exchange with Solute Tempering 2 (REST2), Bias Exchange Umbrella Sampling (BEUS, or replica-exchange umbrella sampling), and well-tempered Metadynamics (MTD). With regard to the speed of sampling and convergence, the peptide-MHC I complex (pMHC I) under study showcases systematic strengths and weaknesses of the four enhanced sampling techniques used, demonstrating that BEUS can handle best the enthalpic and entropic sampling challenges posed by the system. We expect these findings to be relevant also for other flexible protein-ligand complexes with competing enthalpically and entropically stabilized minima.
Restricted-Variance Molecular Geometry Optimization Based on Gradient-Enhanced Kriging
Authors: Raggi Gerardo , Ritterhoff Christian L. , Fernández Galván Ignacio , Vacher Morgane , Lindh Roland
Published: March 2020

Machine learning techniques, specifically Gradient-Enhanced Kriging (GEK), has been implemented for molecular geometry optimization.

GEK has many advantages as compared to conventional -- step-restricted second-order truncated -- molecular optimization methods.

In particular, the surrogate model associated with GEK can have multiple stationary points, will smoothly converge to the

exact model as the size of the data set increases, and contains an explicit expression for the expected average error of the model function

at an arbitrary point in space.

In this respect GEK can be of interest for methods used in molecular geometry optimizations.

GEK is usually, however, associated with abundance of data, contrary to the situation desired for

efficient geometry optimizations.

In the paper we will demonstrate how the GEK procedure can be utilized in a fashion such that in the presence of few data points, the

surrogate surface will in a robust way guide the optimization to a minimum of a molecular structure.

In this respect the GEK procedure will be used to mimic the behavior of a conventional second-order scheme, but retaining the

flexibility of the superior machine learning approach -- GEK is an exact interpolator.

Moreover, the expected variance will be used in the optimization to facilitate restricted-variance rational function optimizations (RV-RFO).

A procedure which relates the eigenvalues of the Hessian-model-function Hessian with the individual characteristic

lengths, used in the GEK, reduces the number of empirical parameters to two -- the value of the trend function and the

maximum allowed variance. These parameters are determined using the extended Baker (e-Baker) test suite, at the Hartree-Fock level of approximation,

and a single reaction of the Baker transition-state (Baker-TS) test suite as a training set. The so-created optimization

procedure -- RV-RFO-GEK -- is tested using the e-Baker, the full Baker-TS, and the S22 test suites, at the density-functional-theory level for the two Baker test suites

and at the second order Møller-Plesset level of approximation for the S22 test suite, respectively.

The tests show that the new method is generally on par with a state-of-the-art conventional method, while for difficult cases it exhibits a definite advantage.
The Limits of Inelastic Tunneling Spectroscopy for Identifying Transport Pathways
Authors: Deffner Michael , Herrmann Carmen
Published: March 2020

Inelastic Electron Tunneling Spectroscopy (IETS) is a powerful tool to study the properties of molecular junctions. In particular, it is considered useful for extracting information on electron transport pathways. We explore the limits of this approach by comparing computed interatomic transmission pathways with IETS intensities for different molecular junctions, employing a new efficient implementation for evaluating IETS intensities via the mode-tracking algorithm. We find that while a correlation be- tween pathways and IETS intensities indeed holds when vibrations are clearly localized on atoms off the transport pathway, there is no such correlation for molecules with less localized vibrations, even if transport pathways only sample part of the molecule, and even if a statistical analysis over the vibrational modes is made. This could indicate that the significance of IETS signals for transport pathways is limited to molecules with localized vibrational modes.

Published: March 2020

The tuber of cassava is used as raw materials in the bakery, food, pharmaceutical and
garment industries. The nutritional value of cassava roots is important because they are the
main part of the plant consumed in developing countries. However, there is much
variation in the nutrient quality of the cassava root depends on the several factors, such as
geographic location, variety, age of the plant, and environmental conditions. This study
was performed to compare and provide information on physicochemical and functional
properties of cassava flour planted in two different districts in Sabah, Malaysia, namely
Tawau and Semporna. Proximate analysis showed significant differences (p<0.05) in
crude protein (2.07 and 2.69%), crude fat (0.55 and 0.68%) and dietary fibre contents
(2.38 and 2.09%). Determinations on physicochemical and functional characteristics of
the cassava flour showed significant differences (p<0.05) in bulk density (0.57 and 0.79 g/
cm3
), pH (6.75 and 6.72), colour and foam capacity (3.66 and 7.33%) while there was no
significant difference shown in water and oil absorption capacities as well as emulsion
capacity. Cassava planted in Semporna was observed to have high values of all pasting
property parameters relative to the one planted in Tawau except for the setback viscosity.
Gelatinization properties of flours showed significant differences (p<0.05) in onset (70.59
and 68.99°C) and end temperatures (79.81 and 80.03°C).

La Petite À La Burqa Rouge by Tahar Ben Jelloun: Orientalization of the Tale Le Petit Chaperon Rouge by Charles Perrault
Authors: Intan Tania , Saleha Amaliatun
Published: March 2020

Tales generally comes from oral traditions, which were later written to be passed for generations. One of the prominent European tale authors in the 17th century was Charles Perrault whose works have been adapted by literary authors throughout the world. Tahar Ben Jelloun, a francophone author from Morocco, performed reécriture on Perrault’s stories in his book Mes Contes de Perrault (2014). This study identifies the new elements Ben Jelloun gives to the tale Le Petit Chaperon Rouge with the result in the form of a short story called La Petite à la Burqa Rouge. The two texts which spanned four centuries were examined using descriptive analysis method. Results of the study showed that despite the maintenance of the main sequence of Charles Perrault’s tale, Ben Jelloun carries out the orientalization process on the tale Little Red Riding Hood in the forms of text delocalization, time and place transpositions, physical and mental reconstructions of the characters and the infiltration of feminist ideology and social criticism. Ben Jelloun’s active reception should be given appreciation as to the addition of colors and new ideas without any alteration on the old works

This research will present the development of an applicable procurement management system model particularly for UPVC & Ductile pipes used in water and sewage water infrastructure Projects in Iraq. Actual data are collected from seven Iraqi infrastructure projects. These data are analyzed by using SBSS v. 23 statistical analysis programs. On the bases of analyses results, four mathematical relationships have been developed by using MATLAB R2015B & CurveExpert Basic software to be used on building a realistic procurement management system with accurate, acceptable, and appropriate results for the construction materials procurement conditions in Iraq, the system was finally tested by using actual data from Al-Latifiyia sewer project in Baghdad governorate, where the system showed an accuracy results of 86%.
Generation of IDF Equation from Catchment Delineation Using GIS
Authors: Al Islam Mahmud , Hasan Hasibul
Published: March 2020

The study was intended to find out the catchment characteristics of an area and the IDF (Intensity-Duration-Frequency) analysis of rainfall of that area using Gumbel method and Log Pearson type III method. In different studies, the IDF equations are generated for an area without acknowledging the catchment, stream length of the catchment and the time of concentration. In our study the Digital Elevation Map (DEM) of Dhaka was used. The DEM was analyzed using QGIS to find out different catchments, catchment area, catchment slope, stream length etc. The rainfall data of 18 years was collected from BMD (Bangladesh Meteorological Department) at 24 hours’ interval. This rainfall data was analyzed using Gumbel method and Log Pearson Type III method because these methods give accurate prediction for return period more than the range of the acquired data. The return period was taken as 2 years,5 years,10 years,25 years,50 years and 100 years. Finally, the intensity for different return period was plotted against the duration of the rainfall to find out the IDF curve. For any kind of rainfall analysis to find the peak discharge for designing storm sewage lines, small hydraulic structures or calculating surface runoff, infiltration, sub-surface runoff, discharge at rivers or water bodies, the derived IDF equations can be used. Even to find out peak discharge with a return period more than 18 years these set of equation can be used. This method can also be used in other sub urban or urban areas to find out the time of concentration of that catchment and IDF relationships for short duration rainfalls.

Traditional computer simulation is replaced by 3D scans of the temporary urban fabric in a Taiwan heritage site for the quantitative assessment of local evolvement. The transfer of as-built point cloud model to the vertical and horizontal sections enables the inspections of evolved openness types on an old street enclosed by building facades and remodeled building components. Temporary fabrics, which consist of the installations and components, are represented in terms of the modification ratio on facade. The ratio contributes to the balance between the maintenance of cultural identity and the development of supporting commercial facilities made by local efforts. The variation changes along the old street cross districts of preservation, commercial and residential areas. Result shows the highest ratio exist in commercial district, where the highest ground activity along the entire street has created a typology of T or enclosed section of open space, as shown in point cloud model which is so realistic that no former computer models can display.
Integrated adaptive interface design system development of the magnetic separator considering the shapes of the hopper for a powder line

Foreign metal removal is a key process of quality control in the food and pharmaceutical industries and can possibly be achieved using a magnet separator. Typically, magnetic separators are installed at existing production facilities by remodeling because they have the ability to deal with the problems that arise in production facilities. However, when measuring for remodeling, problems such as measurement error, forgotten measurements, change in location, detail proposal changes, or impossibility to measure occur because of complex, distorted or dented shapes, dimensional inaccuracy, and the surroundings. Additionally, the magnet separators designed to fit an existing production have problems in that the dimensions differ from those of the existing facilities, and deficiency is expected in the performance. To solve these problems using a non- conventional method, we developed an adaptive interface design system that combines high accuracy measurement by means of 3D scan to reproduce the existing production facilities as distorted shape and dented shape by reverse engineering, and the optimized finite element method analysis for magnet field to satisfy an expected performance of the surface flux density, and inspect the shape of the design, dimensions, and performance, using computer aided engineering.

Published: March 2020

This paper presents a battery monitoring system using a multilayer neural network (MNN) for state of charge (SOC) estimation and state of health (SOH) diagnosis. In this system, the MNN utilizes experimental discharge voltage data from lithium battery operation to estimate SOH and uses present and previous voltages for SOC estimation. From experimental results, we know that the proposed battery monitoring system performs SOC estimation and SOH diagnosis well.
O ministério ordenado na Igreja. Uma perspectiva católica
Authors: Taborda Francisco
Published: March 2020

Seguindo a tradição patrística, o Autor procura compreender o ministério ordenado a partir da Igreja local/particular. O ministério ordenado é especificado em sua natureza na comunidade (o ministro é primeiramente um cristão entre os demais) e diante da comunidade (o ministro é representação sacramental de Cristo-Cabeça, Pastor e Servo de YHWH). O referencial básico do ministério é o episcopado. O bispo preside uma Igreja local e testemunha, perante as demais, a fé da Igreja que preside, estabelecendo assim a comunhão com as outras Igrejas e com a Igreja de Roma. Enquanto representação do Cristo Pastor, o bispo é secundado em sua tarefa pelo presbitério; enquanto representação do Cristo Servo, é coadjuvado pelos diáconos.Abstract: Following the patristic tradition, the Author tries to understand the ordained ministry from the angle of the local/particular Church. The ordained ministry is specific in its nature in the community (the minister is in the first place a Christian among others) and before the community (the minister is the sacramental representation of the Christ-Head, Shepherd and Servant of YHWH). The basic referencial of the ministry is the episcopate. The bishop presides a local Church and witnesses, before the others, the faith of the Church which he presides, thus establishing communion with the other churches and with the Church of Rome. While representing Christ the Shepherd, the bishop is seconded in his task by the presbytery; while the representation of Christ the Servant he is coadjuvated by the deacons.
Heuristic Order Reduction of NARX-OBF models Applied to Nonlinear System Identification

Published: March 2020

Nonlinear system identification concerns the determination of the modelstructure and its parameters. Although the designers often seek the bestmodel for each system, it can be tricky to determine, at the same time, thebest structure and the parameters which optimize the model performance.This paper proposes the use of a Genetic Algorithm, GA, and the Levenberg-Marquardt, LM, method to obtain the model parameters, as well asperform the order reduction of the model. In order to validate the proposedmethodology, the identification of a magnetic levitator, operating in closedloop, was performed. The class NARX-OBF, Nonlinear Auto Regressivewith eXogenous input-Orthonormal Basis Function, was used. The use ofOBF functions aims to reduce the number of terms in NARX models. Oncethe model is found, the order reduction is performed using GA and LM, ina hybrid application, capable of determining the model parameters and reducing the original model order, simultaneously. The results show, considering the inherent trade-of between accuracy and computational effort, theproposed methodology provided an implementation with good mean squareerror, when compared with the full NARX-OBF model.

We report intrinsic photoconductivity studies on one of the least examinedlayered compounds, ZrS2.Few-atomic layer ZrS2 field-effect transistorswere fabricated on the Si/SiO2 substrate and photoconductivity measurements were performed using both two- and four-terminal configurationsunder the illumination of 532 nm laser source. We measured photocurrentas a function of the incident optical power at several source-drain (bias)voltages. We observe a significantly large photoconductivity when measured in the multiterminal (four-terminal) configuration compared to thatin the two-terminal configuration. For an incident optical power of 90nW, the estimated photosensitivity and the external quantum efficiency(EQE) measured in two-terminal configuration are 0.5 A/W and 120%,respectively, under a bias voltage of 650 mV. Under the same conditions,the four-terminal measurements result in much higher values for both thephotoresponsivity (R) and EQE to 6 A/W and 1400%, respectively. Thissignificant improvement in photoresponsivity and EQE in the four-terminal configuration may have been influenced by the reduction of contactresistance at the metal-semiconductor interface, which greatly impacts thecarrier mobility of low conducting materials. This suggests that photoconductivity measurements performed through the two-terminal configurationin previous studies on ZrS2 and other 2D materials have severely underestimated the true intrinsic properties of transition metal dichalcogenides andtheir remarkable potential for optoelectronic applications.
Oleshkivski Sands as a hierarchically built natural system
Authors: Kryvulchenko Anatolii
Published: March 2020

Оleshkivski Sands (Oleshia) are one of the morphosculptures on the Left bank of the lower part of Dnipro river, which is formed on alluvial and periglacial deposits. The article clearly identifies the location of these sands among other morphosculptures of the Left bank of the lower part of Dnipro. In view of the ambiguity, two regions of the Left Bank are considered separately – nearby arenian sandy-loamy geocomplexes with the presence of extremely specific sandy hilly-depressions geocomplexes and the territory of the hilly-lowland plain (Kardashynka lowland), which is located between the Dnipro delta and sands massives of the Kelegei arena.
Oleshia consists of seven hilly-sanded arenas and six inter-arenial sanded flat plains. Accordingly, the area of Оleshkivski Sands is 219.9 thousand hectares, almost 80 % of which are sanded arenas. Arenas are represented here as hilly sandy plains and depressions. These sandy plains divided by sand types such as hilly (hillock, hillock-dune and hilly), hilly-ridge and flat-wavy, depressions – by flat-wavy, ridge-hollow, wavy-shallow depressions and ridge-shallow depressions. Such types of relief forms are represented by the following microforms of aeolian genesis: hillocks, hills, parabolic dunes, aeolian fields, deflation depressions and also by microforms of fluvial genesis: hilly-ridges, depressions among hilly sandy massifs, gally (redundans), inter-ridge depressions (inter-ridge hollows).
On the surface of sandy massifs, especially in places where the sands are exposed, relief nanoforms are formed, which are represented by small riffles, nabkhas, blowing furrows, tafonies and also by aeolian trains, cut-off lobes, cliffs, cornices.
This system of forms of relief of the Oleshkivski Sands testifies to the complex and various processes of their formation, but special attention should be paid at sand ridges, especially those with the parallel ridge-hollow spatial organization. They, for example, in the south of the Kinburn arena became the basis for the formation of the aeolian-hydrogen landscape that is unique for the territory of Ukraine.
The author associates the creation of the Oleshіa ridge-hollow geocomplexes with the probable catastrophic floods (floodstreams). It is advisable to consider these ridges as a manifestation of giant ripples (diluvial dunes), which are often covered by deposits with different nature of formation. This is evidenced by the variety of typology of relief forms on the territory of the Oleshkivski arenas. Thalassogenic, suffusion-subsidence and anthropogenic factors also deserve special attention in characterizing of shaping the relief of the region.
Key words: the Left bank of the Lower Dnipro, Оleshkivski Sands, hierarchy of relief forms, sandy arena, aeolian processes, fluvial forms.

The increased use of smartphones and tablets sets the stage for new mobile-based educational programs that seek to increase student learning and engagement in school and at home. This study examines the effectiveness of Escribo Play, a game-enhanced educational program, on preschool students’ phonological awareness, word reading, and writing skills. The randomized controlled trial was conducted with 749 students from 62 classrooms from 17 schools located in five cities. Quantitative pretesting and posttesting procedures using standardized instruments were employed. The results indicate that the experimental classrooms that used the 20 games for 3 months gained 68% in their reading scores compared to control classrooms ( d = .40). They also gained 48% more in writing scores ( d = .20). Multilevel analysis indicated that these findings were statistically significant.
