Janelas e portas da Residência e Administração dos Governadores do Grão-Pará: o movimento das imagens em Antônio José Landi
Authors: Carvalho Nunes Mateus , Andersen Trindade Elna Maria
Published: November 2020

Investiga-se neste trabalho, a partir de uma perspectiva trans-histórica, como o arquiteto bolonhês Antônio José Landi (1713-1791) manejou modelos de matrizes ornamentais italianas de diferentes temporalidades e tradições estilísticas em seus desenhos para os projetos da Residência e Administração dos Governadores do Grão-Pará entre 1759 e 1767, na operação imagética de seu pathosformel. O trabalho analisa uma pequena seleção de duas pranchas que contêm desenhos de portas e janelas em elevação, executados por Landi no Brasil, parte da coletânea de desenhos dos projetos para a edifi cação, em comparação com 50 gravuras executadas como exercício profissional do arquiteto na Itália. Estas gravuras compõem um conjunto de imagens feitas a partir de desenhos de artistas italianos de destaque nos séculos XVI a XVIII, imagens sobreviventes que Landi escolheu ativamente como suas próprias referências a serem manejadas para constituição de sua própria identidade projetual.
The image of Soares dos Reis’ sculpture in Art Hitory, Art Criticism and Literature: epochs, models and representations
Authors: Abreu José Guilherme , Carvalho Salomé , Bordalo Rui , Vieira Eduarda
Published: November 2020

A hundred thirty years after his dramatic death, António Soares dos Reis (ASR) remains a huge challenge for art history understanding and art criticism interpretation, since he has been seen simultaneously as “a Greek, […] a realist, […] a classical, […] and a naturalist” (Arroyo, 1899: 78). His major sculpture – O Desterrado – being “an existential work” (França, 1966: 454) escapes from the classic orthodox aesthetic analysis, standing apart from the typical sculptural work of late 19th century. Our hypothesis is that ASR art works like a Rorschach test, for the narratives referred to it, instead of unveiling its character, reveal the concepts and beliefs upon which successive art studies have been produced. No visual images are displayed in this text, since the aim of our study is to detect the mental images associated to the insights and models that art historians and other authors traditionally used to assess ASR’s artistic work.
Critical Discourse of African Vernacular Rooted Imageries in Pitika Ntuli’s Sculptures
Authors: James Sule Ameh
Published: November 2020

My paper presents a critical discourse on African vernacular rooted imageries in the contemporary sculptures of Ntuli, the ideas they convey to viewers and how Africanness is indicated in each depiction produced between 2007 and 2016. I read Ntuli’s contemporary sculptures as African vernacular rooted because he appropriates in them cultural imageries from engagement with African contexts. Five images of his sculptures and installations were purposively selected for thematic and visual analysis. I adopt visual hermeneutics theory, formal analysis and cultural history methods for the reading of each work. The narrative reveals that Ntuli’s vernacular imageries reflects black South African men and a woman rooted in past and present socio-political events in South Africa. The thematic interpretations of the imageries reveal ideas on massacre not merely during apartheid but in post- apartheid South Africa, torture of victims detained without trial, anti-racialism and reflection on a historical hero from Zulu culture.
An account of Michael Fried’s Group discussion with FLUL’s PhD Students from Art History and Theory of Literature
Authors: Neto Teresa
Published: November 2020

The modernist Art critic and Art historian Michael Fried was the fi rst invited speaker to the Lisbon Lectures in the Humanities, promoted by the School of Humanities of the University of Lisbon. Before presenting his conference ‘Facingness Meets Mindedness: On Manet’s Luncheon in the Studio and The Balcony’ regarding two paintings by Édouard Manet, Fried was also present in a fruitful group discussion with PhD students from Art History and Theory of Literature. The Art History doctoral candidates were able to present their questions, prepared beforehand in work sessions with Professor Pedro Lapa, regarding Professor Fried’s extensive body of work. By focusing mainly on his views as a critic, these notes by no means exhaust the matter, and will surely be followed by more in-depth incursions of it. Many other matters came up during this discussion, such as Michael Fried’s historical investigations into Courbet, Manet, Caravaggio, and others. This brief account intends to give notice of this session and share it with the academic community, divulging Michael Fried’s coming to Portugal and his ideas.
On the Lagrange Stability of the Motion in the Spatial Elliptic Restricted Three-body Problem
Authors: Sosnitskii Stepan P.
Published: November 2020

We study the Lagrange stability in the spatial elliptic restricted three-body problem. In this study, we essentially use the boundedness of the motion of a small particle with respect to planar coordinates and show that this plays a key role in ensuring the boundedness of the motion in the spatial case. As a result, we obtain the Lagrange stability theorem for an infinitely small particle in the spatial elliptic restricted three-body problem. The proposed approach can then be extended to the case of the general three-body problem.
Renormalization Group Analysis of the Turbulent Hydromagnetic Dynamo: The Effect of Nonstationarity
Authors: Mizerski Krzysztof A.
Published: November 2020

The turbulent hydromagnetic dynamo is a process of magnetic field generation by chaotic flow of an electrically conducting fluid (plasma, liquid iron, etc.). It is responsible for generation of large-scale magnetic fields of astrophysical objects such as planets, stars, accretion disks, galaxies, galaxy clusters, etc. In particular, the dynamical process of induction of large-scale fields by highly conducting plasma has been very difficult to understand, as very low resistivity is not capable of creating a phase shift between magnetic and kinetic components of waves, making their interaction ineffective for generation of a large-scale electromotive force (EMF). The aim of the analysis presented here is to demonstrate that when the typically invoked statistical stationarity of turbulence is relaxed, large-scale magnetic fields can be very effectively generated by low-resistivity plasma. The renormalization group technique is applied to extract the final expression for the mean EMF from the fully nonlinear dynamical equations (Navier–Stokes, induction equation), and the mean field equations are solved for a force-free mode. Nonstationarity is shown to strongly enhance the process of large-scale EMF generation via wave interactions, and the dynamo effect induced by nonstationarity is proved to be effective. The results are also used to demonstrate the influence of magnetic fields and nonstationarity on energy and helicity spectra of turbulent flows.
The Stellar Merger Scenario for Black Holes in the Pair-instability Gap
Authors: Renzo M. , Cantiello M. , Metzger B. D. , Jiang 姜燕 Y.-F. 飞
Published: November 2020

The recent detection of GW190521 stimulated ideas on how to populate the predicted black hole (BH) pair-instability (PI) mass gap. One proposal is the dynamical merger of two stars below the PI regime forming a star with a small core and an oversized envelope. We outline the main challenges this scenario faces to form one BH in the gap. In particular, the core needs to avoid growing during the merger, and the merger product needs to retain enough mass, including in the subsequent evolution, and at core collapse (CC). We explore this scenario with detailed stellar evolution calculations, starting with ad hoc initial conditions enforcing no core growth during the merger. We find that these massive merger products are likely to be helium-rich and spend most of their remaining lifetime within regions of instabilities in the Herzsprung–Russell diagram, such as luminous blue variable eruptions. An energetic estimate of the amount of mass loss neglecting the back reaction of the star suggests that the total amount of mass that can be removed at low metallicity is ≲1 M
⊙. This is small enough that at CC our models are retaining sufficient mass to form BHs in the PI gap similar to the recent ones detected by LIGO/Virgo. However, mass loss at the time of merger, the resulting core structure, and the mass loss at CC still need to be quantified for these models to confirm the viability of this scenario.
Constraining Gravitational Wave Polarization with GW190521 and ZTF19abanrhr
Authors: Haster Carl-Johan
Published: November 2020

Gravitational waves (GWs) in general relativity are assumed to contain only tensorial polarization states, with generic metric theories of gravity also allowing for vector- and scalar-polarized GWs. Assuming an association between the gravitational-wave and electromagnetic transients GW190521 and ZTF19abanrhr, we find a preference for tensorial GWs with a log10 Bayes factor of 21.6 (with respect to vector-polarized GWs) and 38.4 (with respect to scalar-polarized GWs).

Published: November 2020

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) contact investigation as a proved approach for finding new TB cases, is not fully performed in Kyrgyzstan. In 2018, the country started aligning the National Guidelines for tracking contacts with the WHO recommendations by expanding the definition for TB index cases to all close contacts, regardless of their TB risk status.

Methodology: This cross-sectional census aimed to determine the active case detection changes among TB contacts after implementation of a new TB tracing strategy using the National Surveillance data. We compared populations in Chui and Issyk-Kul regions of Kyrgyzstan who had contacts with TB index cases before (2017) and after (2018) strategic changes for the rates of indexes, contacts, screened contacts, and detected TB among screened contacts.

Results: New TB tracing strategy resulted in increased numbers of indexes (21%) and contacts (36%). Though the smaller number of contacts (1730 vs. 1590) have been screened in 2018, the proportion of TB diagnosed was substantially higher (95% CI: 0.024-0.005; p = 0.002) in 2018 vs. 2017. The mean numbers of TB contacts per-one-index-case also has increased dramatically by 117% (1.8 vs. 3.9) in Chui and by 43% (3.0 vs. 4.3) in Issyk-Kul regions (95% CI: 3.20-3.37; p < 0.001 and 95% CI: 2.97-3.09; p < 0.001, respectively) between 2018 and 2017.

Conclusion: Extending new tracing approach to other regions of Kyrgyzstan will increase the number of identified contacts, leading to better TB control in the country and prevention of more severe TB development among the unidentified contacts.

Eusebio Lucini, escenógrafo de los ballets representados en el teatro del Circo de Madrid en la década de 1840
Authors: Hormigón Laura
Published: November 2020

Durante la década de 1840, Eusebio Lucini desempeñó una labor fundamental como escenógrafo y director de maquinaria del Teatro del Circo de Madrid, donde realizó las escenografías de los ballets y óperas que se representaron allí. Por desgracia, de su trabajo escenográfico no ha sobrevivido nada —a excepción de pequeños grabados publicados en la prensa—, y lo poco que sabemos de sus decorados es gracias a las descripciones publicadas en la prensa de la época. Este recorrido por la poco estudiada producción escenográfica para ballet desarrollada por Lucini pretende visibilizar y poner en valor su gran actividad artística, además de constatar que, el Teatro del Circo realizó, en aquel momento, una programación de ballet equivalente a la de los teatros más importantes de Europa, también en cuanto a sus producciones escenográficas.

Autorégulation, rapport à l’écrit et performance : analyse d’une activité rédactionnelle en français langue étrangère à l’université
Authors: Najjar Nada
Published: November 2020

Le présent travail s’inscrit dans une étude en deux phases, portant sur l’analyse d’une tâche rédactionnelle tapuscrite (traitement de texte) enregistrée via un logiciel de capture vidéo. Notre échantillon se compose de 32 étudiants de différents profils, parmi lesquels des adultes en reprise d’étude, des étudiants redoublants et des étudiants nouveaux entrants. L’analyse des enregistrements vidéo décrivant le déroulement processuel de l’activité de rédaction en temps réel (30 minutes) nous a permis de remarquer un rapport entre le nombre et le type de pauses rédactionnelles effectuées, le rapport à l’écrit et l’expérience des étudiants et leurs performances à l’écrit. Nos résultats témoignent d’une forte dépendance entre les stratégies que l’étudiant mobilise pour réguler sa rédaction et ses performances à l’écrit. En outre, contrairement à un RÉ de transcription, un RÉ de construction semble assurer une bonne régulation des processus rédactionnels. Finalement, les adultes en reprise d’études semblent mieux réguler leur activité rédactionnelle comparativement aux autres profils.
Apropriações, impropriedades editoriais e produções cartográficas relativas à representação do Rio de la Plata em atlas neerlandeses do século XVII
Authors: Langer Protásio Paulo
Published: November 2020

Este artigo propõe analisar alguns aspectos de caráter editorial, comercial e intelectual concernentes à produção e à circulação de duas cartas geográficas do século XVII que representam o Paraguai, também conhecido como Rio de la Plata, quais sejam: 1) Paraguay, ó prov. de Rio de la Plata cum regionibus adiacentibus. Tucuman et S.ta Cruz de la Sierra; e 2) Paraquaria vulgo Paraguay. Cum adjacentibus. A produção cartográfica, o contexto da indústria gráfica editorial neerlandesa, as inconsistências entre os mapas (textos visuais) e os textos corográficos correlatos constituem uma das frentes do debate. Paralelamente, é analisada e criticada a atitude de apropriação pró-jesuítica, por parte da historiografia rio-platense – que se consolidou na esteira da produção intelectual de Guillermo Furlong S. J. na primeira metade do século XX – diante dos referidos mapas. As fontes são, primordialmente, os mapas e os livros, (principalmente os Atlas) em que as referidas cartas geográficas foram reiteradas vezes publicadas. A abordagem teórica dialoga com historiadores filiados à Nova História Cultural – com destaque para Roger Chartier – com historiadores da arte e da cartografia.
Enhancing Africa's Agri-Value Chains Through Digital Platforms
Authors: Umukoro Immanuel Ovemeso
Published: November 2020

Africa's food security may be at risk if food production does not increase, especially given that by 2023, African food market will more than triple in demand by moving from $300 billion to $1 trillion. However, country-specific interventions have not provided the desired impact towards guaranteeing food security. Across different agricultural value chains, wastages due to lack of access to markets, poor storage, lack of logistics, transport and power infrastructure, among several others. There is, however, the possibility of strengthening these value chains with the right technology deployment. This requires significant investment, which is most effective using collaborative stakeholder approach. The private sector has shown signs of resilience in investing in agriculture by finding the right business models such as digital platforms which are in themselves scalable businesses. Through an interrogative literature review and analysis of case studies, this chapter explores the role of digital platforms in enhancing diverse agricultural value chains across Africa.

Authors: Putra Akbar Kurnia , Najwan Johni , Rahmalia Rahmalia , Daud Sulhi Muhammad
Published: November 2020

Internationalization is an emerging trend in the development of higher education institutions (HEIs). Around the world, several projects and university associations and collaborations are launched to enhance internationalization including in Indonesia. For Indonesia, internationalization is an inevitable process and considered as a strategic step that Indonesian government should take in the globalizing world, especially after the ratification of the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) by the government in 1994. Since then, the Government of Indonesia revises and produces policy and statutory regulations to promote international education in Indonesia and guarantee a good practice of integration of international dimension. Although many studies have been conducted to analyze this trend, very few studies focus on the legislations support for internationalization. For this purpose, the authors analyze the regulation with a normative juridical approach.

The rapid development of technological advances has brought many alterations and development to many profit-driven as well as non-profit-oriented organizations. Higher learning institutions have also benefited from technological advancements in this setting. Although the use of technology and the widespread use of online learning are no longer uncommon in the technology world, the introduction by students, undergraduate and postgraduate students of online learning courses, however, is still not as familiar as expected. This study focuses on the adoption and implementation of Malaysian higher education online courses to reach out to rural students and thus provides a systematic conceptual framework that emphasises the effect of different aspects. Students are enrolled in online courses at public and private universities in Malaysia, as they have been removed from the path of formal education. Using a self-directed survey, the data will be collected. Ultimately, the outcomes of this study can provide valuable insights into organisational methods and strengthen the leadership of a university administration that can contribute to improving student involvement and efficient programme usage.
Applications of Machine Learning in Cyber Forensics

Published: November 2020

Nowadays, individuals and organizations experience an increase in cyber-attacks. Combating such cybercrimes has become the greatest struggle for individual persons and organizations. Furthermore, the battle has heightened as cybercriminals have gone a step ahead, employing the complicated cyber-attack technique. These techniques are minute and unobtrusive in nature and habitually disguised as authentic requests and commands. The cyber-secure professionals and digital forensic investigators enforce by collecting large and complex pools of data to reveal the potential digital evidence (PDE) to combat these attacks and helps investigators to arrive at particular conclusions and/or decisions. In cyber forensics, the challenging issue is hard for the investigators to make conclusions as the big data often comes from multiple sources and in different file formats. The objective is to explore the possible applications of machine learning (ML) in cyber forensics and to discuss the various research issues, the solutions of which will serve out to provide better predictions for cyber forensics.

Co-Production as Seen From a Top Management Perspective
Authors: Larsen Mette Vinther , Madsen Charlotte Øland
Published: November 2020

This chapter addresses the ‘co-production turn' in public sector organisations from a top management perspective. The co-production turn is seen as a historical development from new public management to the concept of new public governance. Ideas on collaborative governance have been advanced as an answer to some of the challenges of the public sector in health services, caregiving, and social work. Current issues in welfare production in public sector organisations are seen as a result of the economic rationalisation ideas in new public management, and co-production has been theoretically advanced as a new way to involve citizens in the co-production of welfare. The co-production turn is explored as an emerging research field in this book, and in the current chapter, the authors explore how three top managers make sense of this concept when developing and implementing new strategies in their public organisations.
Co-Production at the Brink
Authors: Lindland Kristiane Marie Fjaer
Published: November 2020

Co-production in the public sector can contribute to enhancing sustainability, social equity and democracy in society. Nevertheless, the citizens in greatest need of enhanced social equity and increased democratic participation are often considered less capable of taking part in co-production projects. Embedded in an understanding of co-production-as-practice, this chapter shifts the attention from focusing on the abilities of the individual to focusing on the social processes of becoming. This processual understanding provides possibilities for coming to grips with how highly marginalised citizens both influence and are influenced by the ability of public staff to realise better solutions within public services. The chapter contributes to widening the processual understandings of co-production by seeing resources, capabilities and empowerment as dynamic elements emerging in the present through social processes. Consequently, it illustrates how social equity and inclusiveness can be produced through the co-constitutive processes of becoming.

Published: November 2020

The present chapter discusses a particular advertisement aired for a bank in Turkey from a semiotic perspective. Advertising as film is visual storytelling. A film has language and form, and is made up of parts that relate to one another in specific ways that affect the audience. Film techniques take on a semiotic function in the process of meaning construction. As a cultural phenomenon, advertisements can reveal hidden meanings, such as gender issues and patriarchal discourse in the case of the analysed advertisement.
From Overlay to Interplay
Authors: Lyons Nina , Smith Matt
Published: November 2020

This chapter explores the unique characteristics of AR as a visual communication medium while also considering the diverse and potentially powerful meanings that can be created by using it in conjunction with established visual communication devices such as posters. The chapter evaluates a number of current projects that have utilised this type of digital narrative. It also explores the theories of visual communication to understand how posters communicate in order to leverage the same techniques for AR. Using three case studies, the authors examine how AR, when used in conjunction with a printed poster, can subvert the original meaning of the poster to create a new meaning for the viewer and ultimately create the surreal.
Medical Sociology and Storytelling in a Decolonial Context
Authors: Obuaku-Igwe Chinwe
Published: November 2020

The use of photovoice for storytelling and as a critical pedagogical tool is still exploratory. Despite calls to rethink, re-imagine, and rework curriculums, many challenges remain in designing assessments that utilize creative storytelling formats that demonstrate an awareness of the social context, history, and lived realities of students. This chapter addresses the outcomes of a classroom-based study that explored whether a photovoice essay, used in a medical sociology undergraduate assessment, facilitated a critical analysis of the social determinants of health by students, and oriented them towards taking action. Existing research on critical pedagogy tends to focus on investigating the feasibility or extent of dialogical exploration of societal hegemonies, and prospects of future transformations between teachers and students in the classroom. This chapter provides an overview of how photovoice and reflective writing are used to create new stories by students in a South African university and how it can be supported.
Women and Media
Authors: Lekic-Subasic Zeljka
Published: November 2020

Difficulties that women face in the media professions and discrimination against women's access to decision-making posts within the media is a problem that transcends national borders. Becoming a greater part of this particular workforce would help to expand both the amount and quality of visibility for women – in news, television, and public sphere in general. Public service media (PSM), as broadcasting, made, financed, and controlled by the public and for the public, with the output designed to reach everyone and reflect all voices, should treat gender equality with the utmost importance. The existing data indicate however that, although some progress have been made, there is a lot to be done: while women among European PSMs represent 44% of the workforce, the number falls to less than 25% at the higher and executive positions. This chapter analyses the efforts made by the European Broadcasting Union's members and the measures they recommend.
Reckoning With #MeToo and the Aftermath
Authors: Sohal Prabhjot Kaur
Published: November 2020

In 2017, following the #MeToo movement stirred by the public outing of Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, the safety of women at the workplace became a prime agenda for international news media. Although far from being truly inclusive, the #MeToo movement rapidly spread to other parts of the world. Women of different nationalities, backgrounds, and race shared their stories of abuse and survival using the #MeToo hashtag and its variants. In 2018, women within the news media industry in India joined the movement and called out prominent editors, filmmakers, and artists on social media for perpetrating and abetting acts of sexual harassment and abuse against them. As an immediate result, several accused were made to resign from their organizations and dropped from prestigious public posts. However, a backlash to the movement followed soon after, most evidently in the form of victim-shaming and defamation lawsuits against women. Based on the theory of epistemic advantage, the study explores the perception of sexual harassment among journalists in India using in-depth interviews.
Safety and Security of Journalists in India
Authors: Bhattacharyya Mausumi
Published: November 2020

Globally, upholders of the fourth pillar of democracy have been consistently exposed to security issues and gender discrimination. Many journalists and media professionals are having to pay with their lives in trying to get information. In spite of nations having constitutionally accepted accordance of operational freedom for the press, governments have failed to ensure a protective environment for decades. India, unfortunately, figures on the list of nations where journalists operate under tough conditions. The global state of journalist safety and security is outlined here. Analysing India-specific study findings and information generated through survey of journalists, this chapter argues the need for stringent policy regulations stipulating time bound delivery of justice and fast tracking of trial proceedings, for cases of violence against journalists and also highlights the probability of discrimination in distribution of work and disparate payments emerging as principle problems women journalists' face.
The Voice of Women and Challenges of Gender Equality in Georgian Media
Authors: Gersamia Mariam , Toradze Maia , Markariani Liana
Published: November 2020

This research analyzes the media landscape in Georgia from a gender equality perspective to identify the existing stereotypes dominant in Georgian media organizations. Georgia (country) faces the challenges related to femicide, domestic violence, employment of women, early or forced marriages, sexual harassment, blackmailing of female journalists, and there is a lack of awareness regarding gender equality. The study answers research questions: What sociocultural context and basic psychological motivators drive females to choose journalism as a profession? Is there any gender inequality regarding the workplace and positions in Georgian media (TV, print, radio, and online media) and if ‘yes' how does it present? Are there any predefined topics/themes covered specifically by the male or female journalists? What gender-related stereotypes (if any) dominate/take over in Georgian media?

Published: November 2020

In recent decades, women journalists' professional safety has attracted an enormous research attention globally and in Nigeria. Interestingly, often similar findings are likely generated by most of the studies highlighting stiff gender-based challenges. This chapter investigated the safety experiences of Nigerian women journalists to identifying the typology of gender-based discriminations and coping strategy affected women journalists used to manage to work in a male-dominated media industry. Employing a semi-structured interview approach, 37 participants (25 women journalists, 10 men journalists, and 2 human resource managers) were interviewed from 12 broadcast media organisations in Northern Nigeria. The data were analysed using thematic analysis and the findings showed that Nigerian women journalists experience different types of gendered unsafety including discrimination in newsgathering and production and sexual harassment; most of the affected women used risky coping strategies such as ignoring; most media organisations lacked policies and frameworks to handle such cases.
Fostering Future Teachers' Competence in Computational Thinking in an Educational Technology Course
Authors: Chan Kan Kan
Published: November 2020

Computational thinking is considered a necessary skill in the 21st century. However, few teacher-education programs offer training for pre-service teachers to learn how to integrate computational thinking into the classroom. Pre-service teachers need to gain the knowledge and experience of computational thinking so that they are confident about designing relevant instructions in the future. The purpose of this chapter is to show how a free elective course in the teacher education program provides learning opportunities for them to develop their computational thinking skills and knowledge through the use of tangible objects. Samples of their works were analysed at different stages of learning to illustrate the technological pedagogical content knowledge of computational thinking. Overall, the study demonstrates that pre-service teachers were able to develop knowledge and attitudes towards computational thinking with their experience in the teacher education course.

Building a Racial Identity
Authors: Chang Eunjung
Published: November 2020

This chapter examines African American college students' learning experiences at the Florence County Museum. Looking at several works of art, how do African American students construct their learning experiences in a course-required tour? What personal meanings do they take away from the experience? African American students are voluntarily engaged or only occupied in the works that are related to or connected to their racial roots. They also interpret the works of art from their racial points of view. Therefore, their racial identity as an African American is a key part of understanding their learning experience from the museum. It is important for African Americans not only to see themselves in museum exhibitions but also be able to develop their racial identity and imagine their future through art. It creates equal opportunities for all students from different social, racial, and cultural groups to function effectively in a diverse demographic society.
Socially Responsive Museum Pedagogy
Authors: Kletchka Dana Carlisle , Casto Shelly
Published: November 2020

Art museums in the United States have long been called upon to provide educational and engaging experiences for their visitors; more recently, this expectation has expanded to address the most salient needs of local communities and respond to issues of social inequality. At The Ohio State University's Wexner Center for the Arts, these collaborations are woven into the mission of the institution and serve as a foundation of its educational framework. In this chapter, the authors highlight specific community collaborations between the Wexner Center for the Arts, the Department of Arts Administration, Education, and Policy at Ohio State, and the Columbus, Ohio, community. They suggest that these programs not only individually serve as examples for other institutions and university students engaged in museum education scholarship, but also collectively form a socially responsive museum pedagogy enacted in an ongoing cycle of collaborative inquiry.

Authors: Singh Pushpa , Singh Narendra
Published: November 2020

Data mining offers a highly effective technique that is useful in research and development of bioinformatics. Bioinformatics consists biological information such as DNA, RNA, and protein. Data mining tasks/techniques are classification, prediction, clustering, association, outlier detection, regression, and pattern tracking. Data mining provides important correlation, hidden patterns, and knowledge from the bioinformatics data set. This paper presents the role of data mining techniques in bioinformatics application. Classification of gene and protein structure, analyzing the gene expression, association of co-disease, outlier detection and gene selection, protein structure prediction, and drug discovery are some typical biological example that has proven data mining as a suitable technique for bioinformatics.

There is increasing interest in using emerging technologies, such as social media, digital devices, and smart home technologies, to distribute information throughout an older person's formal and informal support networks to assist them to live independently in their own home (to age in place). An open research workshop was conducted as part of a health informatics conference, 24 self-selected participants were organised into sub-groups to discuss four generic questions relating to the collection and distribution of an older person's health information. Thematic analysis of the discussions identified three major themes relating to roles and responsibilities of stakeholders, information collection and interpretation, system management and control. The findings emphasise the importance of taking a socio-technical perspective to understand the requirements of all stakeholder groups. A number of new and emerging research issues are identified, particularly in relating to the long-term management and adaptation of personal support networks and technologies.

Published: November 2020

The research in hand attempts to investigate the different factors influencing SMEs' decision to internationalise in developing countries (such as Malaysia) including the impacts of ethical issues on the internationalisation decision process. The study also attempts to investigate the impact of internationalisation adoption on SMEs' business performance since the relationship remains vague. The study will deepen the understanding of the complex interrelationship between internationalisation determinants (that influence top management's decision to internationalise), and how such factors (internal and external) might affect SMEs' business performance. Based on the outcomes of such investigation and extensive exploratory study, an acceptable and comprehensive conceptual framework will be presented to investigate and understand the different factors influencing internationalisation adoption by Malaysian SMEs and its impact on companies' performance.

Published: November 2020

This paper has the objective to analyze the implications that the new geography framework of urban agro ecology has on urban planning. It departs from the assumption that the new geography is a theoretical framework for the for the analysis of the economic, social, political, ecological, technological, research, and science based on the interrelationships between urban agro ecology and urban planning. The methodology is based in a constructive analysis of the reviewed theoretical and empirical literature to infer a model based on the construct of the new geography. Finally, it is concluded that urban planning of local governments can formulate and implement strategies based on the new geography framework in urban agro ecology to proving incentives in new urban developments and to benefit disadvantaged communities.

Published: November 2020

Previous research points that computer-supported collaborative learning is an educational approach that suits blind students, because they have high verbal capacity. The authors believe that both sighted and blind students may gain from knowledge sharing, transactions on collaborative tasks, and being aware of distinct cognitive aspects, ideas, and activities, due to different behaviors, perceptions, and backgrounds. To unveil new insights concerning this assumption, they present an exploratory case study that provides an analysis of one blind undergraduate computer graphics student's online interactions during collaborative learning. They approached a qualitative technique to analyze results obtained from the blind student participation and interaction in discussions. The analysis of a blind student interactions, participation, and interaction patterns revealed emotional and deep relationships that implied in profitable interactions, knowledge construction, and better blind and sighted students' performance.

Published: November 2020

In organizations that are seeking a high degree of maturity, it is necessary to achieve a statistical control of software processes and to know their behavior and operational performance. The approach adopted for the research involves reading articles and experience performance reports, practical cases, discussion, the use of games and simulators, practical projects, and reflection by students on the knowledge learned and activities carried out. The evaluation was conducted with undergraduates enrolled in a Computer Science Bachelor's degree programme, who were divided into a control group and an experimental group. At the end, the two groups carried out a practical project to evaluate the learning effectiveness reached by the students. The results of the study suggest that there was a difference in the effectiveness of the learning resulting from the teaching approach and traditional instruction. The authors observed a mean gain of 30.06% in the experimental group, which is evidence of this rise in the learning effectiveness.
