Authors: Farias Athena De Albuquerque , Campelo Maria Paula Silvestre , Brito Francisca Ergovânia Batista  de
Published: October 2019

Abstract: The increase in the chances of potential environmental catastrophes due to excessive anthropic activity has caused society to turn its efforts to protect the environment. The notion of Sustainable Development was raised aiming economic growth based on the rational use of existing natural resources, for the purpose of preserving them for future generations. The concept of Equitable and Sustainable Development was created, which encompasses several aspects of society besides economic and environmental, with the main purpose of stimulate socially equitable development together with a sustainable environment. Environmental licensing consists of an administrative instrument used by the State to regulate potentially harmful activities to the environment. In this, it is sometimes necessary to consider constitutional principles, which requires verification of which should prevail, depending on the conflicting case. The present study defends the effectiveness of the use of the Principle of Proportionality in the act of weighing constitutionally protected interests, where the particularities of the concrete case must be analyzed in order to verify which institute should overlap, seeking the harmonization between free enterprise and the right to a balanced environment, these being the main principles involved in environmental licensing. Keywords: Environmental Law. Administrative law. Sustainable Development. Environmental license. Principle of proportionality.

Abstract: The street markets are an aggregational of commercial establishments where a variety of food products can be found, so we must consider the commercialization of these products and the hygienic conditions of these distribution places, which directly affect the quality of the food offered at these markets. This study aimed to evaluate the hygienic and sanitary conditions of the street market located in the southwest region of Bahia. Through this study, it was possible to identify that the main points that need improvement are regarding the hygiene habits of the handlers, how food storage works and the lack of water, which is one of the most critical points found during this evaluation. This study reinforces the need for supervision by the responsible agencies, so that educational actions can be implemented through courses, workshops and lectures in order to raise awareness about their managing and minimize the risks to public health. Keywords: Evaluation.

Use of Computed Tomography to Distinguish Thrombus from Pannus on a Bioprosthetic Aortic Valve
Authors: Kealhofer Jessica V. , Markowitz Jeremy S. , Nijjar Prabhjot S.
Published: October 2019

Bioprosthetic valve thrombosis was previously considered to be a relatively rare complication of surgical or transcatheter bioprosthetic valve replacement. Although echocardiograms can reliably show the characteristic findings of prosthetic valve stenosis, differentiating between thrombus formation and pannus overgrowth as the underlying cause of prosthetic valve dysfunction can be challenging.

We present the case of a 75-year-old man who underwent transthoracic Doppler echocardiography in the presence of an elevated valvular gradient 2 years after his aortic valve had been surgically replaced with a bioprosthesis. The echocardiographic findings suggested prosthetic valve stenosis. Cardiac computed tomography, performed to distinguish between thrombus formation and pannus overgrowth, revealed hypoattenuated leaflet thickening and reduced leaflet mobility, which suggested thrombus. After the patient took oral anticoagulants for 3 months, images showed complete resolution of the previous abnormalities, thus confirming the diagnosis of bioprosthetic valve thrombosis. We found cardiac computed tomography valuable when evaluating our patient who had an elevated prosthetic valve gradient.

Published: October 2019

Infra-specific Identification of Fusarium oxysporum from Nonbanana Substrates and Its Ability to Move Hosts to Banana PlantsFusarium oxysporum has various life style, i.e. saprobe, endophyte and pathogen. Plant pathogenic F. oxysporum are divided into many forma specialis (f. sp.) depending on the host, for instance F. oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc), a causal agent of Panama disease of banana. The study aimed to determine the infraspecific identity of F. oxysporum from non-banana host and evaluate its ability to jump banana plants. Infraspecific identity was determined through a molecular approach using 3 specific primers to recognize TR4 race (TR4 F/R, TR4 F/R1, and FocSc-1/ FocSc-2), while the host’s transfer ability was tested on 2 banana cultivars namely cv. Ambon and Tanduk. Thirteen strain studied  i.e IPBCC 88,012, IPBCC 07,528, IPBCC 07,561, IPBCC 08,562, IPBCC 08,568, IPBCC 10.674, IPBCC 14.1236, IPBCC 14.1237, IPBCC 14.1238 and IPBCC 14.1239 were TR4 Foc; IPBCC 07,338 and IPBCC 14.1242 are race Foc 4. The pathogenicity test of Foc IPBCC 88,012, 07,328, 08,561, 10,674 and 14.1236 derived from cucumbers, soil, agarwood sapwood, insect nests and quinine tree endophytes showed that these strains were able to move to banana plant. This shows that Foc may not host-specific and the infaspecific term forma specialis is therefore debatable.

Stem Canker: A New Disease of coffee in LampungStem cancer is a new disease that has attacked smallholder coffee plantations in Lampung since 2010. The cause of the disease was unknown. This study aims to describe the symptoms of the disease, the incidence of the disease in the affected plantation, and identify morphologically and molecularly the canker pathogens of the coffee stem canker diseases. All stages of Koch’s postulate were carried out in laboratories and greenhouses. The isolated pathogens were morphologically characterized by colony shape and color as well as the conidia shape and size. Molecular identification was carried out by using a general primer (ITS1 and ITS4) and followed by sequencing. The main symptoms of the disease are stem cancer and dieback, as well as more infecting older plants. Pathogen of the coffee stem canker disease that attacks coffee plants in Lampung has been identified as Fusarium solani which has 99% homology with F. solani KY245947.1.
Ekonomi Politik dalam Kebijakan Impor Beras: Membaca Arah Kebijakan Pemerintah 2014-2019
Authors: Kusumah Fabian Pratama
Published: October 2019

Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pemetaan aktor pro dan kontra kebijakan impor beras dalam era pemerintahan Jokowi. Dari pemetaan aktor tersebut menunjukkan kepentingan para aktor yang terlibat. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah studi pustaka yang didapat dari jurnal, dokumen pemerintah dan berita secara online. Kebijakan impor beras di era pemerintahan Jokowi merupakan hasil dari pertarungan empat aktor yaitu Kementerian Perdagangan, Kementerian Pertanian, Bulog, serta Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat. Penelitian ini menemukan adanya dinamika pro dan kontra pada Kementerian Perdagangan saat reshuffle, serta Menteri Perdagangan dan Bulog saat pergantian direktur utama. Sedangkan Kementerian Pertanian dan Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat cenderung konsisten dalam menyikapi kebijakan impor beras. Terjadinya dinamika pro dan kontra membuktikan bahwa setiap aktor memiliki kepentingan yang ingin ditransformasikan menjadi sebuah kebijakan. Perbedaan data digunakan oleh Kementerian Perdagangan dan Kementerian Pertanian sebagai dasar legitimasi untuk mencapai kepentingan dalam kebijakan impor beras. Polemik impor beras yang terjadi pada era pemerintahan Jokowi tidak menutup kemungkinan terjadinya kasus korupsi maupun kasus mafia pangan seperti pada kasus impor beras sebelum era pemerintahan Jokowi.
Strategi Menjaga Konstituen: Studi Kasus Anggota DPR RI 2014-2019 Daerah Pemilihan Jawa Tengah I
Authors: Purnama Angga Arrasyid Dian
Published: October 2019

This research is about the strategy used by the member legislature body 2014-2019 to keep the constituents’ vote in their election area after being elected as a legislative member. This research used a case study in the 1st election area of Central Java Province which includes Semarang City, Semarang District, Kendal District, and Salatiga City. By taking a member of DPR RI as the main sample and two members of DPR RI as a comparative sample or as group control. This research applies the qualitative approach supported by a quantitative approach with the survey method. This research finds the strategy which is used by the member of DPR RI to keep the constituent vote in their election area. It could be done through some strategies such as interactive dialogue, provision of assistance, installation of campaign attributes (banner/billboard/etc), utilization of party structure and base mass party, encouragement of another cadre from the party, community approach, social media and formation of the volunteer. All strategies have objectives to keep the constituent vote in an election area, and to gain the sympathy and vote from those who have not chosen them in the last legislative election. So it could be ended in re-elected the member of DPR RI in the next legislative election.

Forest and land fires are among the major catastrophic events that occur in Indonesia. They are a major cause of deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions. Their multiple sources are most diverse and root in nature and society. The immediate fire effects directly and the long-term landscape ecosystem degradations indirectly cause major and persisting and serious problems of public health and ecosystem service. Smoke haze from the forest and land fires in Sumatra and Kalimantan in 2015 caused significant environmental and economic losses in Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia. We describe the different types of land uses and land cover where fires and smoke haze took place, and how local politics have affected fire use from 2001 to 2017. We calculated hot spots from satellite imageries as proxies for fire occurrences and applied regression analysis to understand the link between fire and local politics in Sumatra and Kalimantan. The results show that the greatest frequency of hot spots occurred in wood and oil palm plantations and logging concessions (47%), followed by conservation areas (31%) and community land (22%). Local elections involve land transactions, and fires were used as a cheap way to increase the land value. The use of fire as means of land clearing was strongly influenced by local politics. Their frequency and abundance obviously increased about a year prior to local elections. The reasons behind the correlation need to be understood so that appropriate incentives and sanctions can be put in place and deter political leaders from using fire as an incentive to their advantage.
Structure of the Sediment and Crust in the Northeast North China Craton from Improved Sequential H-k Stacking Method
Authors: Zhang Yi , Huang Jinli
Published: October 2019

H-k stacking method is a standard receiver-function method to detect crustal thickness. But this method can not be applied in low-velocity sedimentary basins. To solve this problem, we propose an improved sequential H-k stacking method. The improved method needs two sequential stacks. Firstly, sediment structure is calculated using converted waves and multiples on the bottom boundary of sediments. Secondly, the sedimentary results are applied to calculate the crustal structure. Theoretical calculations and “recovery tests” indicate that the improved method can obtain accurate estimates in sedimentary basins. With the teleseismic data of North China Craton, the structure of sediments is thick in the depression and thin in the uplifted area, which is consistent with Deep Seismic Sounding results. The crust to the west of the North-South Gravity Lineament is relatively thick and has a low average Poisson ratio, whereas the east is relatively thin and has a high average Poisson ratio. This result and the structural feature from data regression imply that the eastern crust of the North China Craton has experienced wide extension, which reflect the crustal response to the severe destruction and deformation in that area compared to the western crust.

Published: October 2019

Participatory approach is useful to clarify local interests, and improve planning activities. This paper aims to evaluate local interests change and make improvements of rural development planning activities as a response. Participatory approaches were used to make rural development planning in 2007. According to the planning activities in 2007, implementation of plans and local developing requirements were tested from local perspective in 2012. Comparing local developing requirements in 2007 and 2012, local interests changes were clarified and used to advise planning activities improvements. Wangzhuang village, Hebei province, China, was chosen as the case study. The results suggest that local preference was helpful to clarify planning goals. Conflicts between different stakeholders’ interests were mainly about planning activities related to local daily life. Local interests showed a fast changeable character in a short term. These interests generally had a stable requirement on agriculture production improvement, while changed in other aspects during local community development. Participatory approach efficiently identified local interests priority and developing requirements change with a low cost. Then advised planning activities improvements consistent supported local sustainable development. We argue that taking planning activities improvements in response to local interests change through participatory approach could efficiently stimulate rural development.
Political affiliation in post-parliamentary careers in Italian public enterprises
Authors: Quaresima Federico , Santolini Raffaella , Fiorillo Fabio
Published: October 2019

It has long been recognized that the presence of politicians on the boards of directors of public firms may create inefficiencies. Nevertheless, research has so far neglected the effect of political affiliation on the appointment of Members of Parliament to the boards of public firms. This article intends to fill this gap by conducting an empirical analysis on a sample of 945 deputies of the Italian Parliament elected over the period 1996–2001. Regression discontinuity estimates show that the centre-left coalition is about 25 percentage points more likely to appoint its Members of Parliament to the board of public enterprises than the centre-right coalition. Political appointments become more pronounced when the centre-left forms a governing coalition.
Assessment of ArcGIS based extraction of geoidal undulation compared to National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA) model – A case study
Authors: Muhammad Sher , Tian Lide
Published: October 2019

Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and remote sensing Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) represent earth’s surface elevation with reference to ellipsoid and orthometric heights. Proper estimation of the geoid (difference of ellipsoid and orthometric heights) is necessary before comparing data referenced to the different vertical datum. In this paper, an error in estimating EGM96 orthometric height is highlighted, verified by NGA/NASA developed model and MATLAB®. A significant error was found in the ArcGIS derived EGM96 orthometric heights range between ±6.9 meters. In addition, interpolation of low-resolution geoid data also produces significant biases depending on geographic location and the number of the interpolation data point. The bias was maximum negative in the central part of Tibetan Plateau and Himalaya. Therefore, estimation of orthometric height similar to NGA/NASA model precision is necessary for comparison of DEMs for natural resources management, 3D modelling and glaciers mass balance mainly in the mountainous regions.

Authors: Shukla Utkarsh , Singhal Niraj , Srivastava Rajiv
Published: October 2019

Due to the emergence of high-speed applications, demand for more bandwidth has increased exponentially in last a few years. To serve each user for his demand very fast processing and propagation of data is desired. These two requirements of high-speed communication can be fulfilled using optical fiber technology. In the same view in past many optical switch designs have emerged with their respective advantages and disadvantages. This paper proposes a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM)-based switch incorporating arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) as wavelength router and fiber delay lines (FDL) to create optical buffer. Proposed switch design is compared with recent switch design and it is found that both in terms of BER and packet loss probability the performance of proposed design is much better in comparison to earlier designs.
Enhanced Performance Analysis of 10 Gbit/s–10 GHz OFDM-Based Radio over FSO Transmission System Incorporating ODSB and OSSB Modulation Schemes
Authors: Singh Mehtab , Dhasarathan Vigneswaran
Published: October 2019

The exponential rise in the demand for channel bandwidth over the last few years has lead to the problem of spectrum congestion in conventional radio frequency (RF)-based wireless communication systems. Radio over free space optics (RoFSO) provides an effective solution to tackle the problem of spectrum congestion due to its many merits including license-free bandwidth, quick and low-cost installation, cost-effectiveness, and highly secure transmission links. The high-speed data transmission capabilities and immunity to electromagnetic and RF interference makes it a suitable candidate for the development of future 5 G networks. This work focuses on the designing and performance analysis of 10 Gbit/s–10 GHz orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based RoFSO link under the impact of different environmental effects. Also, the performance of the proposed RoFSO link has been compared for different modulation schemes viz. optical dual sideband (ODSB) and optical single sideband (OSSB). Further, we propose an enhanced detection technique deploying Square root module (SRm) at the receiver terminal for link reach enhancement under the impact of adverse weather conditions.
The Two Times of Objects: A Solution to the Problem of Time in Object-Oriented Ontology
Authors: Kleinherenbrink Arjen
Published: October 2019

One of the main criticisms of object-oriented ontology in its current formulation by Graham Harman is that it includes a notion of time that, upon closer inspection, renders the overall theory inconsistent. I argue that while this is indeed the case, Harman’s notion of time can be modified in a way that leaves the framework of object-oriented ontology intact. More specifically, Harman’s theory of time as a single surface tension between sensual objects and their qualities should be expanded into a theory of time as a twofold of related yet irreducible temporalities. Such a theory can already be found in Gilles Deleuze’s The Logic of Sense. I argue that much of the latter theory is already tacitly presupposed in Harman’s ontology, and show that the proposed modification successfully addresses the most salient criticisms that have been voiced at Harman’s notion of time.
Perceptions in the management of colorectal peritoneal metastases: A bi-national survey of colorectal surgeons
Authors: Narasimhan Vignesh , Warrier Satish , Michael Michael , McCormick Jacob , Ramsay Robert , Lynch Craig , Heriot Alexander
Published: October 2019

Background

There is great variability in the uptake of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in the management of colorectal peritoneal metastases (CRPM) in Australia and New Zealand. This study aims to provide a snapshot of perceptions among colorectal surgeons in the management of CRPM.

Methods

A structured ten-question online survey was sent to all colorectal surgeons, with three questions on clinical experience and demographics, one on health economics and six on hypothetical clinical scenarios. Scores were collated and reported based on Likert scales.

Results

Eighty-one respondents (36.2%) completed the survey. Most surgeons (66.7%) strongly disagreed with offering CRS and HIPEC at all hospitals. The majority (87.7%) agreed that CRS and HIPEC offered a higher survival benefit than systemic chemotherapy in pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP), and 69.1% in CRPM (comparators: 60.5% ovarian cancer, 14.8% gastric cancer). There were mixed strategies in managing low-volume, isolated peritoneal recurrences. The majority did not recommend second-look laparoscopy, but favoured operative management of Krukenberg tumours. In the presence of incidental peritoneal metastases, only 29.6% favoured biopsy only and referring the patient to a peritoneal disease centre.

Conclusions

Response rate was relatively low. In Australia and New Zealand, colorectal surgeons see a strong role for CRS and HIPEC in the management of PMP and CRPM. The role of “second look” surgery in high-risk cases is controversial and not supported. Krukenberg tumours are viewed as surgical disease. Regular updates and collaboration with peritoneal centres may help surgeons stay abreast with latest evidence in the field.

Constant development of novel materials and their characterization is a highly important matter nowadays. Optical contact angle measuring system is a very versatile tool among the surface characterization techniques. The main application of the technique is determination of hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity and wetting properties of materials. Current generation machines are fully automatized with a number of complements for temperature and pressure control, nanoliter drop generation, etc. Besides commenting on the current state of the art of the equipment, their capabilities and costs, this review includes some practical tips on the execution of the technique and data analysis.
Electron densities of two cyclononapeptides from invariom application
Authors: Luger Peter , Dittrich Birger
Published: October 2019

The nonapeptides cyclo(Val-Leu-Pro-Ile-Leu-Leu-Leu-Val-Leu) (I) and cyclo(Val-Leu-Pro-Ala-Leu-Leu-Leu-Val-Leu) (II) were identified as promising candidates for the development as potential anti-cancer drugs. We report a re-refinement of deposited single-crystal X-ray diffraction data with aspherical scattering factors from the invariom database. A subsequent evaluation of the molecular electron density distribution and of the differences in their molecular electrostatic potentials provides insight in their activities. The sequences differ only in residue 4, Ile in (I) and Ala in (II). Since the anti-tumor potency is reduced for the Ala peptide (II), the causes for the differences seen in activity between (I) and (II) were examined from a structural and from an electron density (ED) point of view. The exchange at residue 4 does not lead to significant changes in molecular geometry. Molecular Hirshfeld surfaces and electrostatic potential (ESP) isosurfaces show accumulations of intermolecular interactions in regions adjacent to the Ile/Ala residues indicating preferred interactions with a potential receptor in these regions. The concentrations of intermolecular interactions were localized on the Hirshfeld surfaces through an extended basin of ED concentration close to the Ile/Ala residues. Differences in the electrostatic potentials (ESPs) between (I) and (II) were only found at the Ile/Ala site and were very close to zero otherwise.
Applications of Laser Processing of Materials in Surface Engineering in the Industry 4.0 Stage of the Industrial Revolution
Authors: Dobrzański Leszek A. , Dobrzańska-Danikiewicz Anna D.
Published: October 2019

This article presents a comprehensive literature study showing contemporary industrial applications of laser processing of materials in the area of surface engineering. Laser remelting, alloying, feathering, and cladding are discussed. The results of our own research on the application of laser technologies for surface treatment, including hot work tool alloy steels, high-speed steels, magnesium and aluminum alloys, are presented. The production of porous titanium microskeletons prepared using the additive selective laser sintering (SLS) method for the production of original biological engineering materials and implants-scaffolds is presented. The laser texturing of polycrystalline silicon is also presented after texturing requiring etching in alkaline solutions and preferably also after applying antireflective coatings. The article also presents the use of SLS for the application of electrical contacts on photovoltaic cells. Identification of the critical surface of engineering technologies has been presented. Attention was paid to select 21 technologies, which were included in the group of laser processing of materials, from 500 critical technologies of surface engineering that were analyzed with our own methodology of technological foresight. In order to determine the strategic position of individual groups of critical technologies, an original set of context matrices was developed, including the dendrological matrix of technology values and the meteorological matrix of environmental impact, and the results were summarized in a sixteen-field strategy matrix for technologies. A 20-year time horizon of heuristic research was established. It has been shown that the analyzed technologies of laser processing of materials are finding wider and wider application in modern technology so that their significant development in the next two decades should be expected. It has been pointed out that laser surface technologies, because of their high development potential demonstrated by the performed foresight research, are some of the important elements of the development of the Industry 4.0 idea.
I’ll Be Your Mixtape
Authors: Peraino Judith A.
Published: October 2019

This article tells the story of a cassette tape housed in the Andy Warhol Museum Archives, a set of never-released (and rarely heard) songs by Lou Reed, and the tape’s intended audience: Andy Warhol. Warhol and Reed are giant figures in the history of twentieth-century Pop Art and popular music, and their collaboration from 1966 to 1967 resulted in the acclaimed album The Velvet Underground and Nico. Based on extensive archival research and interviews, I discuss how this tape reflects Warhol’s and Reed’s failed attempt to collaborate on a stage version of Reed’s album Berlin (1973); Reed’s reaction to Warhol’s book, THE Philosophy of Andy Warhol (From A to B and Back Again) (1975); and how elements of Warhol’s own audio aesthetics and taping practices find their way into Reed’s recordings around 1975. I also place this cassette in the context of the emerging common practice of creating and gifting homemade mixtapes of curated music, and demonstrate how such mixtapes function as a type of “closet media” (to quote theater scholar Nick Salvato) marked by private audience, disappearance, and inaccessibility. Drawing on William S. Burroughs’s conceptual spliced-tape experiments and their challenge to unified subjectivity, I explore the epistemological and ontological ramifications of sonically entangling the self with another person, and the queer intimacies of doing so on cassette tape.
El plagio académico: un signo de la relativa maleabilidad presente en lo real
Authors: Escobar Hernández Bogar
Published: October 2019

El tema toral del estudio fue el análisis de la acción plagiaria en el medio de la academia. En dicho fenómeno social, además de considerar su vertiente ética, también se aborda su incidencia sobre la realidad, tomando en cuenta que la acción plagiaria también puede ser percibida como un indicador de su plasticidad. Sobre esos dos carriles de ideas se exploraron algunas de las implicaciones más relevantes que se desprenden de dicha práctica. Asimismo, se hizo un esfuerzo por detectar sus motivaciones subyacentes, partiendo de la premisa de que estas tienen que ser sumamente vigorosas, a fin de persuadir a un académico a suplantar la autoría de una aportación al conocimiento. En lo cual, subyace una paradoja existencial, la de aspirar a la realización personal mediante una falsificación del yo y de la realidad.
Aporte de las humanidades para repensar las prácticas hegemónicas en la educación colombiana con base en el pensamiento de Michel Foucault
Authors: Tovar Perengüez Jhon Alexander
Published: October 2019

A lo largo de la historia de la educación colombiana, se han sustentado una serie de mecanismos de vigilancia y castigo dentro y fuera de las aulas, sujetas a formar seres dominados por el lucro del poder y el saber. Es así que, las prácticas hegemónicas se reproducen de modo persistente a través de la escuela, como conducto regular de homogeneización. Estas prácticas de castigo y vigilancia han sido disimuladas en nombre de la supuesta valoración de la dignidad que deviene con el discurso de los derechos humanos al no castigo físico en los planteles educativos, pero se han implementado otros tipos de castigo de forma oculta. En definitiva, ciertas formas de poder han sido remplazadas por otras. Así, por ejemplo, se puede pasar a normalizar el poder bajo mecanismos de vigilancia, disciplina, control y castigo. Para este fin, se hará un análisis que oriente el proceso investigativo con base en los planteamientos presentados por Michel Foucault. En este orden de ideas nace la pregunta de investigación: ¿Cómo consolidar la labor de las humanidades para repensar las prácticas hegemónicas de vigilancia y castigo que persisten en la educación colombiana actual con base en la caja de herramientas de Michel Foucault?

O papel do erro na construção do conhecimento matemático a partir da percepção dos professores dos Anos Iniciais
Authors: Wirmond Thamyres Karolyne , De Souza Graziela Ferreira , Pinheiro Nilceia Aparecida Maciel
Published: October 2019

Este artigo apresenta os resultados de uma investigação junto a professores dos Anos Iniciais do Ensino Fundamental sobre as dificuldades encontradas no processo de ensino, com o objetivo de identificar e apresentar as atitudes tomadas pelos docentes frente às dificuldades de seus alunos em conteúdos relacionados à matemática, analisando a utilização do erro como ferramenta de ensino. Os dados foram obtidos por meio da aplicação de questionários destinados a professores de matemática, atuantes  na etapa inicial do Ensino Fundamental, de cinco escolas municipais de Ponta Grossa-PR, os quais foram analisados de acordo com a Análise de Conteúdo. Os resultados apontam que os professores, em sua maioria, recorrem a abordagens lúdicas, não consideram o erro como possibilidade de ensino e não promovem a contextualização e a relação interdisciplinar no processo de construção do conhecimento. Conclui-se que é necessário fomentar práticas de formação docente em que os professores tenham como princípio de atuação a reflexão sobre sua prática, para viabilizar um ensino com maior abrangência, convertendo as dificuldades encontradas em ferramentas de ensino e aprendizagem.

O presente estudo teve por objetivo analisar a oferta de ações de formação continuada para professores da área da Educação Física na região sul do estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva e caracteriza-se por uma abordagem qualitativa, desenvolvida por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas e análise documental. Foram entrevistados oito professores e oito gestores de Educação Física escolar. A investigação revelou que a maioria dos municípios ofertou alguma modalidade de ação de formação continuada aos seus docentes no período de 2013 a 2015. Foi unânime, entre os gestores, a percepção da importância dessas ações para atualização e enriquecimento do trabalho docente. Porém, não houve consenso entre eles com relação ao alcance das metas traçadas no planejamento das ações nos seus municípios. Entre os docentes houve o mesmo reconhecimento sobre a importância das ações de formação continuada. Os professores relataram que tais ações resultaram em mudanças no seu fazer pedagógico.

Este artigo identificou as prováveis interferências ocorridas na prática docente dos profissionais que atuam no Bloco Inicial de Alfabetização (BIA), influenciadas pela Avaliação Nacional da Alfabetização (ANA). A ANA objetiva aferir o nível de alfabetização e letramento em Língua Portuguesa e Matemática dos estudantes concluintes do ciclo do BIA. Foi instituída em 2013, pelo Ministério da Educação para acompanhar a eficácia do Pacto Nacional pela Alfabetização na Idade Certa (PNAIC), compromisso formal e solidário assumido pelos governos Federal, do Distrito Federal, dos Estados e dos Municípios, desde 2012. Para esta pesquisa foi realizado estudo de caso de escola da rede pública de Brasília - Distrito Federal (DF). Para compor a pesquisa, foram coletados dados por meio de questionário aplicado somente aos professores do BIA. Para análise e interpretação dos dados foi realizada pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa, estudo exploratório e análise documental. Com os resultados obtidos, foi possível identificar que a ANA tem se constituído em uma ferramenta indutora de práticas docentes.
Perspectivas gestoras no ensino mediado pelas tecnologias digitais da informação e comunicação

Percebemos um descompasso entre a administração e as compreensões pedagógicas requeridas pelos gestores no trato com o Ensino a Distância. Dessa forma, o artigo traz um debate acadêmico-científico acerca da dinâmica dos processos de gestão relacionados ao Ensino Mediado pelas Tecnologias Digitais. Os registros foram obtidos por meio de entrevistas abertas e semiestruturadas, a investigação é de abordagem qualitativa e a metodologia de análise é o Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo. Observamos que a constituição do gestor o afasta das ações administrativas congruentes aos procedimentos atuais que o ensinar com tecnologias digitais requer, nessa direção estudamos que a visão do gestor público concentrada no interesse da comunidade e na coerência entre os objetivos, os processos e os resultados compartilhados com a comunidade qualificará o serviço público, potencializando a corresponsabilidade.
Clubes de Ciências e contribuições para a formação docente: uma análise narrativa
Authors: Brandolt Borges Thelma Duarte , Silva Carla Melo , Lima Valderez Marina do Rosário
Published: October 2019

Clubes de Ciências são espaços não-formais de educação científica onde são desenvolvidas atividades de investigação com base nos interesses e perguntas dos alunos.  O presente trabalho tem como objetivo investigar as contribuições da monitoria em Clubes de Ciências para os licenciados em formação. Para isso, foram utilizados relatos de experiências vivenciadas por uma ex-integrante representativa do grupo, por ter composto a equipe de monitores do Clube por um período de quatro anos. Buscou-se, a partir de suas narrativas, responder a seguinte questão de pesquisa: Quais as contribuições da atuação em Clubes de Ciências para a formação docente manifestas nas narrativas de uma monitora egressa?  As narrativas foram analisadas a partir do método Labov. Na perspectiva laboviana, uma narrativa é considerada completa quando é composta por seis fragmentos, sendo eles: introdução da narrativa, situação de tempo e lugar, complicação da ação da narrativa, avaliação da narrativa, resolução da complicação narrativa e coda ou fim da narrativa.  Os resultados obtidos indicam que a experiência clubista proporcionou à futura professora uma experiência fora do modelo tradicional de ensino e, apesar de tratar-se de um caso específico, as contribuições ressaltadas pelo sujeito de pesquisa podem conduzir a reflexões que se estendam a outros participantes em formação inicial.
ECPA & ECCA Crop Protection European Regulatory Conference 2019
Authors: Blake Robin
Published: October 2019

The European Crop Protection Association (ECPA) Regulatory Conference 2019 was held in Ghent on 22nd and 23rd May within the framework of the IUPAC Congress, and with the support and participation of the European Crop Care Association (ECCA) and focussed on the many current and future
challenges in the implementation and application of Regulation (EC) 1107/2009. The conference was opened with a welcome address by the Director General of the ECPA, Jean-Philippe Azoulay who spoke of his happiness that the annual ECPA regulatory conference was being held alongside the IUPAC
conference. He briefly discussed some of the regulatory challenges facing the crop protection industry before highlighting recent progress with respect to transparency and trying to understand public concerns better. The conference was closed by Jean-Philippe Azoulay, who thanked the speakers
and organisers, before presenting 11 points by way of conclusion: (1) Our food is safe; (2) The topic of crop protection is complex: difficult to explain in simple words, but easy to simplify and caricature, and requires a differentiated narrative depending on the audience - policy maker vs.
general public; (3) The conversation is changing: there is a growing understanding that pesticides are a means to an end and the question is about the production – and consumption – models; (4) Current policy makers only look at the regulation, not at the model or the agronomic
or economic impact of their decisions; (5) There are large opportunities for the crop protection industry to contribute to a more sustainable model; (6) Innovative solutions should be encouraged and accelerated, not slowed down; (7) The Sustainable Use Directive is an opportunity for industry
to help drive the changes and demonstrate our willingness; (8) No Regulation can address the trust issue – we have to address it ourselves through our actions; (9) Let us acknowledge the end of evidence-based decision making; (10) We need successful farmers now, in the future and for
a long time; and (11) The dialogue with retailers and/or consumers is difficult but welcome.
The Size Effect of Strenthening for Dispersion-Filled Polymer Nanocomposites
Authors: Rizvanova Patimat , Magomedov Gasan , Kozlov Georgiy
Published: October 2019

In the case of dispersion-filled polymer nanocomposites, it is assumed that a decrease in the size of dispersed nanoparticles leads to a strong increase in their degree of amplification. However, it is known that reducing the size of nanofiller particles intensifies the process of their aggregation, which ultimately dramatically increases the effective size of the nanofiller in the polymer matrix. Therefore, the question arises which nanofiller is more effective from a practical point of view – one having a small size of the initial particles, but highly aggregated, or another having a relatively large size of nanoparticles, but poorly aggregated.

The aim of this work is to answer the above question. We have used two dispersion-filled polymer nanocomposites having the same polymer matrix, but filled with a dispersed filler, which size of the original particles differed by about 15 times.

It is shown that the level of aggregation of dispersed nanofiller particles in the polymer matrix of the nanocomposite is controlled by two main factors: the size of its initial particles and the conditions for obtaining the nanomaterial, and the influence of the first factor prevails.

The process of nanofiller aggregation significantly affects the level of interfacial adhesion and, as a consequence, the final properties of nanocomposites.
The Methods of Assessing the Sustainability of Information and Telecommunication Networks in Terms of Informational Influence

Published: October 2019

The article presents a method of assessing the stability of the information and telecommunication network in terms of informational impact. In modern war, the primary objects of directed counteraction and defeat are presented with control systems rather than troops and weapons. The predicted nature of the enemy’s impact on the military control system and the information and telecommunication network as its technical basis leads to the emergence of new requirements for the quality of the latter.

The presented approach allows us to determine the order and type of impact on each element of the TCS, which in turn will allow us to assess the comprehensive indicator of the stability of the network (the coefficient of downtime or serviceable action).

Published: October 2019

The paper presents results of theoretical research into vacancy formation in B type of boron-carbon nanotubes ВСn, where n = 3. The research was performed using the MNDO method within the framework of an ionic-embedded covalent-cyclic cluster model, molecular cluster model and DFT method. We found that when a V-defect (vacancy) is introduced in a boron-carbon nanotube, the band gap of the defective tubules increases. It means that physical properties of materials can be purposefully changed by introducing defects. Vacancy migration along the atomic bonds in the tubule was simulated and vacancy transport properties were studied. It was found that the defect migration along different bonds actually represents the process of carbon or boron ions hopping between their stable states on the nanotube surface. The calculated activation energy values revealed dependence of ionic conductivity in boron-carbon tubules on temperature.
