Adequações curriculares para alunos com autismo: o que é? Como fazer?
Authors: Junior Henrique Arnoldo
Published: April 2021

O presente relato apresenta algumas Adequações Curriculares – AC, efetuadas pelo autor como professor de Matemática em uma sala de recursos para Atendimento Educacional Especializado – AEE, entre maio a dezembro de 2019, para estudantes autistas. Baseando-se no pressuposto de que não é de qualquer forma que se promove uma AC, alguns momentos pedagógicos em sala de aula foram investigados. Constatou-se que a cada instante, novas AC são reinventadas, estando relacionadas a diferentes autismos. As experiências relatadas apontam o uso de recursos visuais como alternativa para compreensão dos conteúdos matemáticos, tanto por autistas como por neurotípicos. As informações obtidas apontam a necessidade de uma pedagogia visual voltada para o ensino da Matemática, e elencam uma lista de estratégias, provisórias, nunca acabadas ou definitivas, mas que se mostraram positivas para o avanço de aprendizagem destes alunos e que podem ser empregadas por diferentes profissionais da Educação para o ensino e a aprendizagem de estudantes autistas.

Se a pensar estou... ... aguarda o Diário meu escrever!
Authors: Günzel Rafaela Engers
Published: April 2021

O relato aqui apresentado é parte do desafio de escrever. A escrita tem me possibilitado inúmeras experiências, e por meio do registro em diários tenho a oportunidade de rever minha própria formação docente e compreende-la. Dentro de uma perspectiva narrativa, os diários são potentes instrumentos de documentação. Assim, busquei neste trabalho, desenvolver um pouco da ideia do que são esses diários, como eles atravessam-se em minha caminhada formativa e porque os utilizo. Com a mobilização do ato de escrever, procurei romper um pouco o formato acadêmico de escrita trazendo um relato-diário, no qual, apresento algumas ideias teóricas que vão delinear o percurso narrativo.
O livro-jogo como recurso didático-pedagógico no desenvolvimento da Educação Matemática Crítica
Authors: Pinto Neri Sarafago , Nunes Ogliari Lucas
Published: April 2021

O presente relato objetiva apresentar uma experiência com a utilização do livro-jogo como recurso didático-pedagógico no ensino de matemática com o viés da Educação Matemática Crítica (EMC). O livro-jogo foi elaborado a partir do programa Twine 2, plataforma on-line para criação de livros-jogos com a possibilidade de leitura inclusive em smartfone. Intitulado “Uma aventura em Reai$”, o livro foi disponibilizado a uma turma de 20 alunos do Ensino Fundamental de uma escola da rede pública municipal no estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Tendo como objetivo compreender a potencialidade do livro-jogo na construção de cenários para a investigação em Matemática. A aplicação em aula do livro-jogo permitiu coletar dados a partir de observações, questionários, debates e demais produções dos alunos, como cálculos e questionamentos, esses últimos redigidos uma ficha de registro utilizada pelos participantes durante a aplicação da atividade. Dados estes analisados de forma a confrontar a potencialidade do livro-jogo com o desenvolvimento de conceitos da EMC em cenários de investigação propostos no decorrer da atividade. Nas análises iniciais da metodologia desenvolvida, observou-se que o livro-jogo foi estimulante aos alunos por trazer, de uma forma diferente, a abordagem de conhecimentos matemáticos relacionados a vivências diárias, o que proporcionou uma visão mais atenta e crítica sobre estes aspectos.
Sobre o não-lugar da genética de populações
Authors: Montalvão Neto Alberto Lopo , Da Silva Miguel Kassiana , Aparecida Della Justina Lourdes
Published: April 2021

A Genética de Populações[1] se apresenta como um campo híbrido do conhecimento, visto que é perpassado por questões referentes à Genética e à Evolução, áreas consideradas desafiadoras devido as diferentes dificuldades que vêm sendo apontadas pela literatura no âmbito do ensino. De igual modo, a GP se mostra desafiadora, porém, com um adicional: há pouco espaço para os seus conteúdos em instâncias educacionais. Partindo do pressuposto que a GP ocupa, portanto, um não-lugar, no presente trabalho buscamos discutir a esse respeito. Para isso, mobilizamos noções e princípios da Análise de Discurso de linha francesa pecheutiana, principalmente com base nos estudos de Eni Orlandi e em pesquisas voltadas para o ensino de Ciências que se debruçam sobre questões da linguagem. Para tal, mobilizaremos, principalmente, a noção de silêncio. A partir da escolha do livro didático como exemplo de materialidade que pode nos dar indícios desse não-lugar, nossas reflexões delineiam alguns dos possíveis mecanismos que nos levam a crer que há uma falta de pertencimento da GP no ensino de Ciências e de Biologia. Assim, com base nessas problematizações, apontamos para algumas implicações que essas formas do silêncio podem ter na apropriação dos discursos/conteúdos (sócio)científicos[2].
Emociones y aprendizaje informal en Biología ¿Qué lugar le damos en la formación del profesorado?
Authors: Vaja Arabela Beatriz , Palombo Nahuel Ezequiel , Martín Rocío
Published: April 2021

: El aprendizaje es un proceso que dura toda la vida y en el que las personas co-construyen conocimientos, habilidades socio emocionales y actitudes mediante las experiencias cotidianas y su relación con el ambiente. En los últimos años, surgieron estudios orientados al aprendizaje informal en Ciencias y a los aspectos emocionales y afectivos implicados en los contextos educativos. En este trabajo se describen y analizan los relatos e interacciones surgidas en una tarea propuesta en el marco de un curso de formación docente virtual, en que se solicitaba a sus participantes pensar cómo aprenden Biología en su vida cotidiana. Los resultados mostraron que los profesores expresan sus vivencias y emociones en cuanto a los aprendizajes cotidianos; brindando una oportunidad para que reflexionen sobre sus roles en educación, haciendo explícito sus formas de aprender y conocer cómo los estudiantes aprenden en contextos cotidianos. Se reflexiona sobre la formación docente: por un lado, acerca de la importancia de incluir propuestas y temas que promuevan emociones beneficiosas para los aprendizajes; y por otro lado, sobre la relevancia que tiene repensar los contextos de aprendizajes y conocer otros ámbitos en los cuales pueden intervenir y fomentar el desarrollo de actitudes acordes a estos nuevos desafíos.
Repensando a relação entre Ciência e Religião no processo de ensino e aprendizagem
Authors: Santos William Rossani dos , Fernandes Rebeca Chiacchio Azevedo
Published: April 2021

Na literatura científica as relações entre Ciência e Religião ainda são ambíguas devido as diferentes interpretações de relacionamentos possíveis entre ambos os campos. Na tentativa de contribuir no estudo de tal temática, buscamos compreender as possíveis relações existentes entre Ciência e Religião e a forma mais adequada de tratá-las na educação científica, considerando o atual contexto da Sociedade da Informação. Para tanto, o procedimento metodológico desdobrou-se em duas etapas: uma primeira etapa, visando a categorização das relações entre Ciência e Religião em seis obras da literatura sobre a temática; e uma segunda etapa, pautada na análise comparativa entre diferentes Modelos Conceituais de vertente construtivista, buscando identificar seu tratamento de modo prático. Os resultados indicam três relações possíveis entre Ciência e Religião, que envolvem o Conflito, a Síntese e o Diálogo, sendo esta última a que mais se adequa aos Modelos Conceituais aceitos na atualidade, centrados nos processos socioculturais do conhecimento. Dentre os três modelos analisados, verificou-se que a adoção do Modelo de Perfil Conceitual e do Construtivismo Contextual, podem ser adequados para o tratamento pedagógico mais dialógico entre Ciência e Religião, ao contrário do Modelo de Mudança Conceitual, focado na cognição individual e na substituição integral dos conhecimentos prévios pelos conhecimentos científicos.
Reflexões e expectativas iniciais de licenciandos de Ciências da Natureza no ingresso em curso de extensão sobre Educação Emocional e Educação Científica
Authors: Decarli Cecilia , Boll Cíntia Inês
Published: April 2021

A Educação Emocional permeia todo o currículo escolar. Uma vez que as emoções norteiam as relações humanas, compreendê-las favorece o desenvolvimento cognitivo, pois gera ações de autocontrole, autoconhecimento e tomada de decisões, também oferecendo subsídios para a Educação Científica de qualidade. Este artigo tem por objetivo identificar as expectativas e reflexões iniciais dos cursistas acerca de um curso de extensão sobre Educação Emocional e Educação Científica, visando construir o planejamento do curso e comparar as expectativas iniciais com a autoavaliação final dos cursistas formados. Foi utilizada a metodologia de análise de conteúdo textual para avaliar respostas de 29 inscritos no curso de extensão mencionado, oriundos da Licenciatura em Ciências da Natureza (UFRGS). Foram geradas análises simples - nuvem de palavras e análises multivariadas - e Classificação Hierárquica Descendente (CHD). A partir disso, foi possível inferir sobre classes de palavras e planejar a súmula de conteúdos baseada nas expectativas dos cursistas que, por fim, foram comparadas à autoavaliação final dos alunos concluintes. Essa ferramenta de análise inicial, em conjunto com a avaliação final, demonstrou que trabalhar nessa perspectiva gera qualidade e sucesso a ações de extensão que complementam a formação inicial de professores.

Authors: Almeida Carlson Guerreiro de , Gomes Larissa Pinca Sarro , Madruga Zulma Elizabete de Freitas
Published: April 2021

Objetiva-se verificar, nesse artigo, como os trabalhos que utilizam a Modelagem Matemática na perspectiva da Educação Matemática, como estratégia para o ensino e aprendizagem de estudantes do Ensino Fundamental, são apresentados no cenário investigativo brasileiro. Para que isso fosse possível, utilizou-se como procedimento metodológico o Mapeamento na Pesquisa Educacional. Os dados que fazem parte do corpus de análise foram coletados a partir de buscas realizadas no Catálogo de Teses e Dissertações da CAPES, nos últimos 10 anos, sendo analisados a partir de categorias a priori, definidas por: objetivo geral, público alvo, objeto matemático, dos problemas investigados/interesse de pesquisa, das concepções da Modelagem Matemática apresentadas, das metodologias utilizadas, dos principais resultados obtidos e das perspectivas de continuidade. Assim, por meio das três pesquisas selecionadas para análise, foi viável identificar as ações e reflexões, dos professores e estudantes, durante todo o processo de modelagem, bem como a participação e o desenvolvimento desses discentes no que diz respeito à construção dos conhecimentos matemáticos envolvidos no processo.
Perspectivas antirracistas no Ensino de Ciências e Matemática: Uma análise da Base Comum Curricular de Esteio/RS
Authors: Assis de Oliveira Michele , Bialvo Hoffmann Marilisa
Published: April 2021

Uma educação antirracista envolve a relação e o convívio entre pessoas e estrutura social. Este convívio é ampliado no ambiente escolar, pois é neste espaço que crianças e jovens estabelecem novas relações sociais com pessoas de diferentes etnias, gêneros e identidades. Tais relações acabam por influenciar diretamente a construção da autoimagem de cada indivíduo. Assim, a educação antirracista é aquela que atua de modo a permitir que todos tenham sua identidade e história acolhida no espaço escolar. Para além do processo de ensino conteudista, um dos principais desafios éticos do ensino dos componentes curriculares nas escolas é a garantia do reconhecimento e valorização da pluralidade do patrimônio sociocultural brasileiro. A presente pesquisa, por meio de análise documental, examina a Base Municipal Comum Curricular do Ensino Fundamental do município de Esteio (RS), homologada no ano de 2017, sob a perspectiva antirracista, verificando se a temática da diversidade étnico-racial está presente nas diretrizes deste documento e, ainda, se há orientações para sua abordagem em sala de aula. Com a análise, constatou-se que a temática racial ainda não conquistou um espaço de destaque na prática pedagógica e que existem lacunas visíveis nas orientações do documento.

Authors: Valderrama Alejandro , Pedraza-Jiménez Yamile
Published: April 2021

Se presenta una experiencia de aula fundamentada pedagógicamente en los cambios y exigencias ejercidas sobre la educación en ciencias naturales, por el contexto de la pandemia del SARS-CoV-2 y otras situaciones problemáticas que derivan de las relaciones entre el ser humano y el entorno natural. Se concretan dentro de las mismas la necesidad de fortalecer los procesos argumentativos en un grupo de estudiantes de quinto año de educación básica primaria, en una institución educativa de la ciudad de Tunja, Boyacá en Colombia, sobre los que se realiza un análisis del discurso centrado en niveles de argumentación medidos a lo largo de varias sesiones de clase. Se reconocen algunos avances en la incorporación de esta habilidad  como objetivo educativo de diferentes áreas del conocimiento y se describe a su vez las potencialidades didácticas que la enseñanza contextual de las ciencias naturales, gestada mediante el uso de problemáticas ambientales, articuladas con los procesos de interpretación de las mismas, fundamentación conceptual y análisis multidimensional, deriva en procesos de discusión y confrontación de saberes que fortalecen la habilidad argumentativa permitiendo un proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de las ciencias naturales desde el protagonismo de los estudiantes. Se incentiva un ejercicio responsable de su ciudadanía y toma de decisiones frente al ambiente, desde una visión de la ética del menor daño y la responsabilidad social, económica y política que los ciudadanos poseen frente al equilibrio ambiental.

Esta pesquisa reforçou caminhos de subsídios convincente no ensino aprendizagem com a usabilidade de tecnologia nas aulas de Física, veridicamente na Teoria da Mediação Cognitiva.
Creating Covid-19 Health Protocol Communication Materials in Filipino: A Translation Study
Authors: Alhambra Claudine , Navarro Eva
Published: April 2021

Amidst Covid-19, the World Health Organization (WHO) conducted an online course in multiple languages during the first quarter of 2020, as part of their global response to the emergency (Utunen, et al., 2020). Although English is one of the official languages in the Philippines, the country is multilingual, and Filipino is mostly spoken and more widely understood. This translation study aimed to create Covid-19 health protocol communication materials in Filipino to cater to a general audience. Adopting the Interpretive Theory of Translation (ITT) by Danica Seleskovitch and the sixth element (understandable) of the WHO Strategic Communications Framework for Effective Communication (2017), the study developed the Translating and Creating Communications Material Framework to guide the research process. With this, the study was involved in synthesizing gathered information on Covid-19 health protocols which are in the source language, English. The translation itself involved deverbalizing and transcoding, where making sense of the information was done before they were completely translated to the target language, Filipino. Since the main aim is to communicate understandable information, the communication materials are in infographics form. Some English terms were also retained as they are easier to comprehend by the general audience who are households in selected communities.
Language Policy, Medium of Instruction and Economic Development of Countries in Kachru’s Concentric Circles of Asian Englishes
Authors: Torres Joel , Santos Myla
Published: April 2021

Language and culture are indispensable elements to the economic growth of the individual and society. They represent an important indicator of the individual’s satisfaction and quality of life. This paper is an attempt to answer Grin and Arcand’s (2013) observation that the part that language might play in economic development has long intrigued scholars from various disciplines, and up to the present decade no clear story has emerged from the investigations published and the empirical evidence remains inconclusive. Thus, in an attempt to come up with empirical evidence to establish the link between language policy and language in education to economic growth, this paper reviews the language policies and medium of instruction (MOI)in six countries, two countries each from each circle in Kachru’s concentric circles of Asian Englishes. Each circle was represented by a country with high and low gross domestic product (GDP) per capita. To determine the effect of language policy and MOI to countries’ GDP per capita, analysis of the similarities on the language policy and MOI of countries with higher GDP and those with lower GDP was done.
Une diplomatie du concert.
Authors: Brunet Maxendre
Published: April 2021

Although the place of music in the French political imagination has recently been the subject of fruitful research, it remains a blind spot in the study of French cultural exchange. This can be explained by the non-verbal nature of musical events, or the relative technicality of their study. This article shows how the Association d'expansion et d'échanges artistiques contributed to the promotion of French musicians in Cairo between the late 1920s and the late 1930s.
Les premières années du Salon des Humoristes à Alger (1924-1930) :
Authors: Murgia Camilla
Published: April 2021

My contribution focuses on the early years of the Salon des Humoristes held in Algiers in the 1920s. This event contributed to the development of caricature in Algeria in the wake of the First World War. Although it is difficult to trace the careers of all the caricaturists because of a lack of biographical information, we shall see that those present in the first editions of the Salon des Humoristes in Algiers were most often born in Europe where they trained before settling in Algeria, while some others were born in the French departments of Algeria. The first edition of the Salon des Humoristes d'Alger took place in 1924 and was hailed with success by the Algerian press. This initiative had a precedent in Paris, notably with the Salon des Humoristes held in the French capital in 1907. My paper aims to explore this echo between the Algerian and the Parisian Salon and to discuss the impact of caricature in the early years of this event. My objective is to understand to what extent the training and artistic background of the exhibitors determined and/or allowed the development of Algerian caricature and what its relationship with the Parisian exhibition was.
Effects of Domestic Violence on Behavioral Patterns of Female in Multan City
Authors: Hussain Alia , Afzal Dr. Saima , Dad Allah
Published: April 2021

This study is conducted to find out the impact of domestic violence on the behavioral pattern of females experiencing violence. To fulfill the purpose of this research work, the researcher tried to approach those females who experienced domestic violence by their families and the researcher went to those institutes which only were dealing with these types of cases. A sample of 106 respondents (Shaheed Benazir women crisis center (46), Dar ul Aman (30), Dar ul Falah(30) was selected by using simple random sampling. The result confirmed that domestic violence had a significant impact on behavioral patterns. There is also a significant relationship between physical and psychological violence and change in behavioral patterns. The researchers conclude that most of the respondent’s husbands physically or psychologically brutalize them and domestic violence is a serious issue that affects the behavioral pattern of females. The study suggests that policies should be enforced to stop domestic violence and a change in the normative framework is required for the socialization of sons/males to establish gender equality and equity.

Authors: Mufti Sarah , Akram Dr. Bushra , Ahmad Dr. Fayyaz
Published: April 2021

Children at risk of dyslexia face problems in academic achievement and they were often viewed as children with low intelligence. The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between academic achievement and intelligence. The study also aimed to find out academic achievement and intelligence as predictors of children at risk of dyslexia. The study was conducted from September 2020 to November 2020. Sample of 268 students exhibiting problems in reading, writing or mathematical expression was selected from 1532 students with the help of teachers. Dyslexia screening test Junior (DST-J) was used for screening (Nicolson & Fawcett, 1996). Standard Progressive Matrices (SPM) (Raven, Raven, & Court, 1998) were used to assess intelligence. Academic record of all the students was obtained based on their performance in last examination. Results showed children had above average intelligence. Further, academic achievement showed significant positive relationship with intelligence (r=.32, p<.001). Moreover, intelligence and academic achievement were found to be significant predictors of performance of children at risk of dyslexia. Results concluded that children should be given intervention to improve their academic performance.
Coverage of Protest Stories in Tweets of International News Agencies: A comparative Analysis on Kashmir and Hong Kong Protests
Authors: Ahmad Raza Waqas , Aslam Shahbaz , Saeed Muhammad Usman
Published: April 2021

In April 2019 Hong Kong government introduced an extradition bill that would allow extraditions to mainland China. The introduction of the extradition bill resulted in an eruption of mass level peaceful protests across Hong Kong, which turned out to be more violent later on. On the other side, the protests in Kashmir erupted out after the Modi led Indian government revoked the special autonomous status of Kashmir on the 5th of August, 2019. A sudden and momentous decision to eliminate article 370 enrage the Kashmiri people being deprived of their rights resulting in massive protest across the valley. In the context of modern information and communication systems, the present study is designed to examine the protest paradigm in the international news coverage of Kashmir and Hong Kong's recent protests in tweets of international news agencies. Theoretically, the study takes roots from protest paradigm and international news flow. Methodologically, we employed content analysis method. Firstly, content analysis of purposively selected tweets of four international news agencies, AFP, AP, Reuters, and Xinhua, was performed. Secondly, we used visualization technique to examine the framing of international protests by employing news framing, and protest paradigm. Findings reveal that Protest paradigm is supported in context of international disputes due to the vested interests of global powers as well as the dominated agenda of international news agencies.

The content analysis of three selected issues reflects the existence of soft relationship between media and government in the [violent]issue of Kashmir and Salala check post attack while the policy uncertainty in the issue to join the Saudi Arab led military coalition, instead of soft relations, triggered, comparatively more critical coverage in the selected newspapers- Dawn and The News.
Religion, Conflict and Identity: Islam, Pakistani identity and the conflict in Swat
Authors: Azim Syed Wasif , Ullah Yaseen , Wahab Fazal
Published: April 2021

Other than an identity in itself, religion plays a central role in other forms of collective identities, like ethnic and national. Moreover, as the constructivist theoretical position argues that identities are fluid and can be impacted by different factors, we propose that conflict and violence have repercussions for religion and the associated identities. Extending the constructivist theoretical position, we contend that conflicts do not ‘soften’ or ‘harden’ identities, rather its impacts are complex, multiple and significant. In the backdrop of recent conflict and violence in Pukhtun region of Swat, Islam is substantial due to its centrality to Pakistani national identity (represented and promoted by the Pakistani state) and Pukhtun ethnic identity (represented by the Pukhtuns in Swat) and militant discourse in the region. This study argues that, amidst the conflict in Swat, three forms and positions of Islam have emerged, including the Islam adopted by Pukhtuns as marker of their identity, Islam used by Pakistan for framing a national identity and the one promoted, rather imposed, by the militants. Pukhtuns in Swat try to detach and distance their ‘form’ of Islam (having both symbolic and practical aspects) from that of the Pakistani state and the militants. Moreover, Pukhtun’s form of Islam is considered closer to that of the state with a sharp distance from that of the militants. Pakistani state, religious clergy and militants are blamed and criticized for using Islam for their interests. Militant’s Islam is termed ‘violent’ and only based on their form of justice and is thus rejected. Pakistani state’s Islam is considered least practiced and more symbolic and thus disowned. Islam adopted and practiced by Pukhtuns, majority, in Swat is considered as peaceful and in practice and thus assumed to be better than the other contesting forms of Islam. Thus, the conflict in Swat, involving militants and Pakistani state, has complicated the divisive role of Islam in relation to its unifying role as a component and marker of Pakistani national identity. This has repercussions for Pakistani national identity. The study is based on 45 open-ended in-depth interviews and five focus group discussions in diverse parts of Swat, coupled with ethnographic observation.
Leading Change with Faculty in Higher Education Institution Mergers
Authors: Hartig Dr. Christopher
Published: April 2021

Higher education institution administration must identify if there is a need to engage in an academic merger and how to effectively communicate with faculty and incorporate them during the change process. Faculty members in higher education institutions are essential to execute the phases of academic mergers and should be involved throughout the merger process. A qualitative case study of 12 faculty members from 12 different higher education institutions provides faculty perceptions and engagement in higher education institution mergers. The qualitative research data from faculty used in this paper discuss the emergent themes and recommended practices: 1) communication for buy-in, 2) planning for success, and 3) the emotions of disruption.
International Migration of Highly Qualified Housewife Mothers and Their Career Concerns
Authors: Sahin Arzu Kırcal , Aytac Dr. Serpil
Published: April 2021

e purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of highly educated mothers with at least one child who have left their jobs and have immigrated to the UK because of their spouse's job. The study investigates the barriers that these Turkish women may face in the UK. Research on immigrants has been mostly restricted to quantitative methods which rely on statistical data sets. A search of the literature revealed that qualitative studies are rarely used within the field. In order to examine this issue, in-depth interviews were held with 20 Turkish participants who meet the research criteria. Integrating these findings with relevant international migration theories, this study reveals that those highly educated Turkish women with advanced career success who took part in this research have not managed to break the cycle of traditional gender roles. It also shows that these women have not only taken care of their children, but also have established a harmonious family environment in order to assist their husbands' career. The findings of this study show that moving to the UK with their spouses inevitably has resulted in a decline in the career success, financial and social status for the participants.
Estimating Return Volatility of Stock Market Indices: The Case of Boursa Kuwait
Authors: Al Mesfer Al Ajmi Dr. Mesfer Mahdi
Published: April 2021

This study empirically investigates the conditional variance (volatility) in the daily returns of Boursa Kuwait’s market index, along with seven sectoral indices, for the period of 13 May 2012 to 1 March 2018. The returns results exhibited leptokurtosis, were skewed left, and were not normally distributed; additionally, there was evidence of ARCH effects. The symmetric GARCH model results demonstrated evidence of volatility clustering and persistence; the GARCH-M model results showed a negative relationship between the indices’ returns and risk. The conditional variance (volatility) is affected by positive shocks, leading to positive asymmetric values of EGARCH and negative asymmetric values of TGARCH. From this, it can be inferred that good news has a greater impact on the volatility of index returns than bad news. The research results are crucial for investors, risk forecasters, and policy makers.
Unlocking the Cult of Early-Stage High-Tech Startup Founders
Authors: Srinath Priyanka Botny
Published: April 2021

In this paper, we unlock the cult of high-tech startup founders by taking a sample case study and observing various early-stage founders. Performing ethnographic studies has pointed us in the direction to use patents as a qualifier for technological credibility which serves as an inspiration to such startup founders. When the newbie startup founders are seeking funding, they need to define traits of the success laid out by top high-tech companies that were once startups. We observed 300 early-stage high-tech startup founders around the world, while some of them were in college, some quit college and others start after getting substantial work experience. The high-tech startup world is full of innovative ideas to solve big problems and introduce the workable tech solution to their respective markets. We performed a case study of an early-stage startup that won an innovation challenge and how they struggled to reach credibility and revenue success. Overall, we define this outcome as a cult among the early-stage high-tech startup founders while unlocking revenue success, patenting to scale innovation and human element.
Successions of J-bessel in Spaces with Indefinite Metric
Authors: Ferrer Osmin , Lazaro Luis , Rodriguez Jorge
Published: April 2021

A definition of Bessel’s sequences in spaces with an indefinite metric is introduced as a generalization of Bessel’s sequences in Hilbert spaces. Moreover, a complete characterization of Bessel’s sequences in the Hilbert space associated to a space with an indefinite metric is given. The fundamental tools of Bessel’s sequences theory are described in the formalism of spaces with an indefinite metric. It is shown how to construct a Bessel’s sequences in spaces with an indefinite metric starting from a pair of Hilbert spaces, a condition is given to decompose a Bessel’s sequences into in spaces with an indefinite metric so that this decomposition generates a pair of Bessel’s sequences for the Hilbert spaces corresponding to the fundamental decomposition. In spaces where there was no norm, it seemed impossible to construct Bessel’s sequences. The fact that in [1] frame were constructed for Krein spaces motivated us to construct Bessel’s sequences for spaces of indefinite metric.
Why Constitution Matters – La ciencia del Derecho constitucional ante la crisis del Coronavirus

Published: April 2021

Las medidas adoptadas en el marco de la lucha contra el coronavirus han supuesto una ruptura con respecto a la tradicional comprensión del Estado de Derecho: de la noche a la mañana, y de manera prácticamente global, la lucha contra la COVID-19 se ha erigido en criterio rector único de la praxis política. A la misma se han subordinado derechos de libertad de toda clase; las operaciones comunes de ponderación se han suspendido –en unas condiciones de extraordinaria incertidumbre, con una duración y unas consecuencias imprevisibles–. En el presente estudio se efectúa un balance provisional del papel de la ciencia jurídico-constitucional en una situación de estas características.
BARMAKY SITE IN THE CONTEXT OF EPIGRAVETTIAN OF THE MIDDLE DNIEPER BASIN
Authors: Chabai V. P. , Stupak D. V. , Veselsky A. P. , Dudnyk D. V.
Published: April 2021

The Upper Paleolithic site Barmaky, 2nd cultural layer from Volyhnia-Lublin upland is the most western manifestation of Epigravettian of the Mid Dnieper basin. During several field campaigns the 147 m2 of cultural deposits with three pits and one chalk / marl concentration were studied (fig. 1). The silty-loess deposits of Barmaky, 2 accumulated about 19 kyr cal BP (table 1) under the permafrost conditions. The fauna assemblage is represented by: mammoths, bison, reindeer, red deer, horse, bear, wolf, wolverine, polar fox, fox and hare. More than 100 thousand artifacts were recovered during the last two field campaigns. In essential account (without chips, chunks, unidentifiable debitage), the artifacts assemblage is represented by: cores and pre-cores — 0.87 %; flakes — 45.23; blades — 17.34; bladelets — 14.27; micro-blades — 7.34; burin spalls — 8.08; tools — 6.79 % (table 2). The reduction sequences are based on the flaking of uni-, bidirectional sub-cylindrical and narrow flaking surface unidirectional cores for blades and bladelets (table 3; fig. 2). There is no evidence of micro-blade technology implication. The structure of tool-kit is characterized by the dominance of burins — about 50 %; microliths — 25 %; and truncated pieces — about 18 % (table 4). The rest of tool classes are represented by a few percentages each. Among them are the end-scrapers on blades with truncated base (fig. 3). The most part of burins are represented by pieces made on obliquely truncated blades (table 5; fig. 4). Also, the obliquely truncated blades dominate the truncated pieces assemblage (table 6; fig. 5). The most representative type of microliths is the micro-points with abruptly retouched straight back and obliquely retouched base (table 7; fig. 6). The points, pendants, bracelet fragment made on tusk and perforated fossil marine shells from local chalk deposits are available. The composition of microliths, burins and end-scrapers in Barmaky, 2 tool-kit is characteristic to the cultural layers beyond the dwelling structures on such base-camps as Mezhyrich (fig. 7). Also, the presences of pits and fauna composition are close to what expected from Epigravettian base-camps. The artifacts assemblage of Barmaky, 2 belongs to the Mizyn industry. Also, Barmaky, 2 is the earliest manifestation of Epigravettian in the Mid Dnieper basin.
ANTHROPOLOGY AND ARCHAEOGENETICS OF THE PREHISTORIC POPULATION OF UKRAINE: COORDINATION OF RESULTS

The process of the prehistoric population formation in the territory of Ukraine has become the object of archaeogenetic research in the context of studying the genomic history of Southeast Europe. The work was carried out in the framework of scientific cooperation with the genetic laboratories of Grand Valley State University (USA), Harvard Medical School (USA), Universities of Uppsala (Sweden) and Copenhagen (Denmark). The study of the ancient genome of the Ukrainian population has already yielded results for the Late Mesolithic and Neolithic groups of the Middle and Lower Dnieper, the population of the Trypillia culture of Volhynia (Verteba Cave), as well as for the carriers of Yamna (Pit Grave) Culture and some more late groups of the North Pontic Region (Nikitin, Potekhina et al. 2012; 2017; Potekhina et al. 2013; Krzewińska et al. 2018; Matheison et al. 2018; Potekhina 2016; 2018; 2019; Nikitin 2020). Analysis of mitochondrial DNA from Mariupol-type cemeteries showed the dominance of mitochondrial haplogroup U, which indicates a genetic links with the Mesolithic populations of Scandinavia and the forest belt of Eastern Europe. In some cases, mitochondrial haplogroups H and C have been identified here. The existence of the latter in the Dnieper basin is still difficult to explain, as it is characteristic of eastern Eurasian groups. Genetic studies of the population of the Trypillia culture were carried out on samples dated to 3900—3500 cal BC from the Verteba cave in Volhynia. The majority of its inhabitants were carriers of the Mt haplogroup H, which connects the people of Trypillia with the Anatolian and Balkan early farmers. This haplogroup was also characteristic of farming cultures of the Central European Neolithic, but its frequency in Verteba is twice as high. The Mt haplogroup U found in one resident of Verteba may indicate contacts with hunters of the steppe Dnieper Region. Genetic polymorphism is also analyzed in the bearers of the Yamna (Pit grave) Culture of the North Pontic Region, which opens a perspective in the context of the Indo-European studies. The research has shown that among the Late Neolithic populations of the proto-European anthropological type with the dominant Mt haplogroup U, and in the early Eneolithic populations of the region, carriers of haplogroup H of the Mediterranean anthropological type appear as a result of contacts with Trypillian groups, which gradually moved in the eastern direction. The same genetic lines in different proportions are preserved in the anthropologically heterogeneous North Pontic population of Yamna Culture. Expanding the analysis of genetic markers of ancient craniological complexes will facilitate the interpretation of the results of archaeogenetic research. Given the historical and anthropological context, they are promising for the study of intercultural contacts and migrations in the early history of the population of Ukraine.

The Upper Palaeolithic settlement of Mezhyrich is located on the territory of Mezhyrich village of Kaniv district, Cherkasy region. The settlement is located on the cape formed by the valleys of the rivers Ros’ and Rosava. Palaeolithic cultural layers of the site lies 2.5—3 m below the modern surface. The site is radiocarbon dated to 15—14.3 kyr BP. using bones of several animal species, including mammoth. The remains of the structures and objects are well-preserved in the cultural layer, they contain bone, antler and ivory.
In the last years pit 6 is household object of a particular interest. It belongs to the second household unit and is situated to the south of the second dwelling’s structure. The microstratigraphic studies of the object indicate three episodes of sediment accumulation in the pit, which correspond to the three cultural horizons of the site. As a result of the excavation we have a bright series of bone, tusk and antler artifacts. According to the cross-sections of the north and east walls, the pit is a lens-shaped (lens-like) depression with a diameter of about two meters and a depth of one meter. There were large mammoth bones by the edges of its filling.
For the study we have chosen samples of osteological material which bear traces of human processing. As a result of the zooarchaeological analysis several main categories of the material were chosen (identified): blanks of mammoth ribs, bone tools of long bones of small/medium-sized mammals and ornaments of teeth. It allowed to find out some technological traits and to deepen the understanding of household and everyday life of Upper Palaeolithic hunters-gatherers from the Mezhyrich site. The study of the collection allows to widen the description of this site and to conclude about the life of its inhabitants.
The research materials were used in the creation of the international training course «Nature and Society in Prehistoric Europe», supported by the European Union under the House of Europe programme: https://houseofeurope.org.ua/en.
The Means of Mobile Communication as a Source of Forensically Significant Information
Authors: KOZYTSKA Olena
Published: April 2021

The article substantiates the need to study the means of mobile as a source of forensic information, because the possibilities of this type of communication are widely used in criminal activities, including during training, as well as in the commission and concealment of criminal offenses. As a result of the analysis of scientific works, which highlight the main approaches to defining the concept of «forensically significant information», supported the view of V. Biriukov that forensically significant is any information, regardless of origin and main purpose, which is important for the establishment of certain circumstances, objects and facts in the investigation process, as well as for the development and improvement of forensic knowledge. It is proved that the main types of criminologically significant information are evidentiary and indicative information. The legislative definition of mobile communication is considered, as well as the main components of this type of communication. It is noted that forensic information that arises as a result of the use of mobile means, mostly belongs to the category of digital information. The main properties of digital information and its types depending on the source of origin are determined. It is proposed to divide forensically significant information generated by the use of mobile communications into: information generated and stored directly in the mobile phone, including the phone's internal memory, SIM card and external storage (flash cards) and information generated and stored in the operating information systems and communication centers of the mobile operator. The list of information that can be used in the process of detection, investigation and prevention of criminal offenses, and which are contained directly in the mobile phone, as well as on the SIM card and flash cards used in it, and the telecommunications operator or provider. It is emphasized that some forensically significant information generated as a result of the use of mobile means of communication can be obtained only by conducting such covert investigative (search) actions as removing information from transport telecommunications networks and locating electronic equipment. As a result of the study, the author concluded that the analysis of forensic information that arose as a result of the use of mobile communications can confirm or deny the existence of a number of circumstances to be proved in criminal proceedings.
Problems of Defining the Category «Countering Crime» in Modern Criminology
Authors: MOROZ Marina
Published: April 2021

The article is devoted to the analysis of the criminological concept of «countering crime». The difficulties of unification of such a concept in both Ukrainian and foreign criminology are pointed out. It is noted that the current situation regarding the unification of the concept of «countering crime», complicates the scientific dialogue about development of effective counteraction mechanisms of crime. In order to establish the main criteria this can help in clarifying the essence of the term of «countering crime», a review of the main scientific views on the concept of countering crime in the works of both Ukrainian and foreign authors, as well as scientists who studied issues of countering crime and related phenomena. It is established that different authors take different approaches in determining the scope of the concept of «countering crime». The main approaches can be divided into 2 groups. According to the first approach, scientists believe the scope of the concept of «countering crime» includes preventive measures, which are aimed at preventing criminal acts. According to the second approach, the authors propose the concept of «countering crime» perceived as a set of measures reactions to crimes, including those, which were stopped at the stage of preparation or attempt. After analyzing the arguments, we came to the conclusion: the most logical approach is inclusion in the scope of the concept of «countering crime» both preventive measures (in terms used, for example — «crime prevention», «elimination of determinants of crime» etc.) and termination measures of started crimes, application of measures to respond to crime («repressive influence by the state power», «criminal-legal measures of reaction» and some others). Based on the obtained conclusion we have proposed our own definition of «countering crime». It is suggested to determine a «countering crime» as a system of measures taken by authorized entities, which are aimed at eliminating determinants individual types of crime and crime in general and implementation of an effective response to already committed criminal offenses any types of crime.
