Text Classification (TC), also known as Text Categorization, is the mission of robotically classifying a set of text documents into dissimilar categories from a predefined set. If a manuscript belongs to exactly one of the categories, it is a single-label categorization task; otherwise, it is a multi-label categorization task. TC uses several tools from Information Retrieval (IR) and Machine Learning (ML) and has received much consideration in the last years from both researchers in academia and manufacturing developers. In this paper, we first categorize the documents using KNN based machine learning approach and then return the most appropriate documents.

Learning methods in English subjects require the right strategy. Starting from the provision of laboratories and learning facilities to software. Generally, the learning material cannot be separated from material in the form of audio or video. However, some schools, especially schools that are in the limited category in terms of providing materials, need to do other ways so that their students can learn English well in class or independently. Text-to-speech and speech recognition technology implemented through software accompanied by images makes learning pronunciation and vocabulary more interesting and interactive for students who take extracurricular activities or study in English classes. This service helps extracurricular English teachers at SD YBPK Ngaglik Malang in completing and adding teaching methods not only through paper media, but also media that support interactive activities for students, both independently and in groups, resulting in an increase in pronunciation skills and vocabulary mastery.
Tapping the potential of NDCs and LT-LEDS to address fossil fuel production
Authors: Jones Natalie , Muñoz Cabré Miquel , Piggot Georgia , Lazarus Michael
Published: June 2021

The need for a managed transition away from fossil fuel production raises the question of whether and how countries are addressing this need in their national communications to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). A previous 2019 analysis of the first round of nationally determined contributions (NDCs) and long-term, low-emissions development strategies (LT-LEDS) found that few countries discussed how they would address fossil fuel production as part of their climate mitigation activities. Here, we examine new and updated NDCs and LT-LEDS, finding a growing number of NDCs and LT-LEDS that address fossil fuel production as part of mitigation. For the first time, several countries incorporate policies and/ or pathways for a managed decline of fossil fuel production. In contrast, many others foresee continued or expanded fossil fuel production, with no mention of efforts to prepare for a transition. Opportunities remain for countries to make better use of NDCs and LT-LEDS to align fossil fuel production with the Paris Agreement, including by more comprehensively reflecting on the equity implications of their plans, as well as addressing how countries plan to diversify their economies, ensure a just transition for workers, and cooperate internationally on a managed wind-down of fossil fuel supply. As COP26 approaches, this window of opportunity is still open, but it is rapidly closing.

Fruit growing in the Tlemcen region is carried out in a more or less traditional way, and this is largely the result of a lack of knowledge of areas favorable to a particular fruit species, but also of a lack of training and initiatives. Many fruit species are considered as a local product because they occupy mountainous areas with rugged relief. The latter have organoleptic qualities specific to the ecosystem in which they live. Hence the name of niche product. The most significant example is the Sigoise olive or Olive of the Tlemcen mountains. Thus the present study aims to enhance and preserve some experiences of upkeep and preservation of olive trees in mountainous ecological sites with very difficult relief. This aspect has made it possible to generate varieties of olives with by-products of highly appreciated qualitative value.
RECENT TRENDS IN CITRUS (CITRUS SPP.) PEEL UTILIZATION: A REVIEW
Authors: Kaur Harjinder , Singh Gurpreet
Published: June 2021

Citrus fruits are a widespread fruit crop and belong to the Rutaceae family. Citrus fruits include orange, tangerine, lime, lemon, sour orange and grapefruit. Citrus fruits are not only used for table purposes, but also in processing industries to make value added products such as marmalade, jams, juice, jellies, etc. which leads to the generation of waste into peel (rind) and seeds. The main fruit waste i.e. peels and seeds. The peel (skin) can be used for the preparation of sweets (candies). The use of citrus peel will not only improve the utility, but also serve to reduce the pollution load on the environment. It is nutritionally fortified with ascorbic acid, vitamin B, calcium, phosphorus, and other beneficial compounds essential for overall health. Citrus peels are enriched with pectin, cellulose and hemicelluloses, bioactive compounds and other compounds beneficial to health. The moisture content of the fresh citrus peels was 89.49% and the acidity in terms of citric acid was 0.40%. The ascorbic acid content was 87.49 mg / 100 g. The bitterness that prevails in citrus peels has limited its added value, demand and relevance. Limited work has been done on the processing and post-harvest management of citrus. In this article, we have presented and discussed the efforts of researchers around the world regarding waste use and value addition. In this review, we have tried to compile previous research information in an accurate way to improvise the benefits and full use of citrus waste.

The marvel of expulsion of water from lower solvent concentration to higher concentration by a semi-perimeable membrane is osmotic dehydration, resulting in equilibrium state on both sides of the membrane. As it decreases the water activity of fruits. It is found to be most widely used application for preserving food materials. Due to colour, scent, nutritional constituents and flavour compound retention value, osmotic dehydration is favoured over other methods. Drying, shower drying, freezedrying, solidifying, vacuum packing, canning, syrup conservation (osmotic dehydration), sugar crystallization, nourishment illumination and the addition of preservatives or inert gases such as carbon dioxide are typical methods of applying these processes. The solutes used in osmotic parchedness are ordinarily sugar syrup with fruit slices or 3d shapes, and salt (sodium chloride) or vegetable brine. This can be the method of multicomponent diffusion. Water moves from fruits or vegetables to the solution in this process and certain fruit and vegetable components such as minerals, vitamins, fruit acids, etc also pass into the solution along with water to the fruits and vegetables, sugar and salt migrate. Examples that are considered are Gooseberry Murabbas (Aonla), apples, sweets, candies of Different fruits and vegetables, including pethas, parwal, Osmosis-made sweets in sugar syrup are the most popular items of commercial value available in the market made from fruits. It is processed in a brine solution before drying in pickles made from raw mango. In brine, various vegetables are handled to lower their moisture content

A retrospective study covered the period of 10-year (2000-2010) to investigate the prevalence of hydatidosis in ruminants of three provinces abattoirs in Iraq (Al Muthanna, Al Qadysiah and Al Najaf). A total of 923391 animals including 424167 sheep, 163070 goats, 264351 cow, 33133 buffalo and 38670 camel, inspected macroscopically for hydatidosis in 10-year period, out of which 9909, 2250, 6387, 740 and 414 respectively were infected with hydatidosis. The incidence of the disease in all slaughtered animals varied according to the province, but in general, Al Muthanna province recorded the highest incidence among all slaughtered species followed by Al Qadysiah then Al Najaf province. Buffalo recorded the highest incidence percentage (5.5%) in Al Muthanna and sheep (3.8%) in AlQadysiah while in AL Najaf cow showed the highest incidence (2.1%). The current results provide a baseline data for the prevalence of this parasitic disease in these three provinces and its incidence among different species of ruminants, which provide the opportunity for future monitoring and evaluation leading to control programs of hydatid cyst in Iraq.

Published: June 2021

Este estudio de tipo descriptivo examina la aplicación de las TIC en los profesores pertenecientes a carreras del ámbito de las ciencias sociales en una universidad pública mexicana. Las áreas académicas que intervienen son la de Derecho y Economía. El artículo tiene como referente una investigación más amplia que se hizo extensiva a facultades como Medicina, Ingeniería y Agronomía. La aplicación de un cuestionario a 38 profesores que imparten asignaturas en estas carreras, nos ha llevado a determinar en qué grado se utilizan las tecnologías en clase, los objetivos que consideran a la hora de implementarlas y las actitudes que presentan los profesores en relación a las TIC. Como afirma (Prats, 2016) “La cuestión no es estar a favor o en contra de la introducción de las tecnologías en la educación, ya que todos estamos a favor. Lo relevante es determinar qué papel deben jugar en un proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje”. Para (Salvador, 1991) la computadora es un medio innovador, que provoca “…conseguir el aprendizaje como un material más dentro del aula” y que no sustituye al profesor, más bien viene a apoyar la labor del docente. Los profesores de una carrera tradicional como Derecho, son más reacios a utilizar las TIC en sus clases al igual que aquellos que forman parte del programa académico de Economía.

Published: June 2021

El índice de Desarrollo Humano, en adelante IDH, actualmente es un indicador utilizado con el propósito de medir el avance de un país a partir de tres dimensiones principales, ellas son: la posibilidad de disfrutar de una vida larga, pero a la vez saludable, el nivel de vida que sea considerado como digno de todo ser humano y el nivel de acceso que la población tenga a la educación. Anteriormente, un país en desarrollo se traducía en la cantidad de territorio que poseía, en riqueza mineral y forestal, en manejo de maquinaria, en la cantidad de fábricas a su disposición. Hoy en día el crecimiento económico depende estrictamente de la preparación profesional que tengan sus habitantes, ya sea básica, técnica o universitaria, y, más aún, su formación continua es imprescindible en el ámbito económico y desarrollo de una nación. Es por ello que muchos países se esfuerzan en aumentar su potencial y crecimiento educativo en todos sus vértices; ejemplo de ello son: Finlandia, Noruega, Japón, Estados Unidos, entre otros, que se enfocan en establecer estrategias educativas avanzadas para que sus estudiantes se formen con los más altos niveles de preparación, para luego, incorporarlos al sector productivo contribuyendo a fortalecer la producción empresarial y por ende su economía. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo analizar la relación existente entre el impacto de la retención estudiantil y el desarrollo institucional, lo cual determina la complejidad existente para el crecimiento de las instituciones educativas.

Mountain-wave-induced polar stratospheric clouds and their representation in the global chemistry model ICON-ART
Authors: Weimer Michael , Buchmüller Jennifer , Hoffmann Lars , Kirner Ole , Luo Beiping , Ruhnke Roland , Steiner Michael , Tritscher Ines , Braesicke Peter
Published: June 2021

Abstract. Polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) are a driver for ozone depletion in the lower polar stratosphere.
They provide surface for heterogeneous reactions activating chlorine and bromine reservoir species during the polar night.
The large-scale effects of PSCs are represented by means of parameterisations in current global chemistry–climate models, but one process is still a challenge:
the representation of PSCs formed locally in conjunction with unresolved mountain waves.
In this study, we investigate direct simulations of PSCs formed by mountain waves with the ICOsahedral Nonhydrostatic modelling framework (ICON) with its extension for Aerosols and Reactive Trace gases (ART) including local grid refinements (nesting) with two-way interaction.
Here, the nesting is set up around the Antarctic Peninsula, which is a well-known hot spot for the generation of mountain waves in the Southern Hemisphere.
We compare our model results with satellite measurements of PSCs from the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) and gravity wave observations of the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS).
For a mountain wave event from 19 to 29 July 2008 we find similar structures of PSCs as well as a fairly realistic development of the mountain wave between the satellite data and the ICON-ART simulations in the Antarctic Peninsula nest.
We compare a global simulation without nesting with the nested configuration to show the benefits of adding the nesting.
Although the mountain waves cannot be resolved explicitly at the global resolution used (about 160 km), their effect from the nested regions (about 80 and 40 km) on the global domain is represented.
Thus, we show in this study that the ICON-ART model has the potential to bridge the gap between directly resolved mountain-wave-induced PSCs and their representation and effect on chemistry at coarse global resolutions.
The potential for geostationary remote sensing of NO2 to improve weather prediction

Published: June 2021

Abstract. Observations of winds in the planetary boundary layer
remain sparse making it challenging to simulate and predict atmospheric
conditions that are most important for describing and predicting urban air
quality. Short-lived chemicals are observed as plumes whose location is
affected by boundary layer winds and whose lifetime is affected by boundary
layer height and mixing. Here we investigate the application of data
assimilation of NO2 columns as will be observed from geostationary
orbit to improve predictions and retrospective analysis of wind fields in
the boundary layer.
Catalog of NOx emissions from point sources as derived from the divergence of the NO2 flux for TROPOMI
Authors: Beirle Steffen , Borger Christian , Dörner Steffen , Eskes Henk , Kumar Vinod , de Laat Adrianus , Wagner Thomas
Published: June 2021

Abstract. We present version 1.0 of a global catalog of NOx emissions from point sources, derived from TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) measurements of tropospheric NO2 for 2018–2019.
The identification of sources and quantification of emissions are based on the divergence (spatial derivative) of the mean horizontal flux, which is highly sensitive for point sources like power plant exhaust stacks. The catalog lists 451 locations which could be clearly identified as NOx point sources by a fully automated algorithm, while ambiguous cases as well as area sources such as megacities are skipped.
A total of 242 of these point sources could be automatically matched to power plants.
Other NOx point sources listed in the catalog are metal smelters, cement plants, or industrial areas.
The four largest localized NOx emitters are all coal combustion plants in South Africa. About 1/4 of all detected point sources are located in the Indian subcontinent and are mostly associated with power plants. The catalog is incomplete, mainly due to persisting gaps in the TROPOMI NO2 product at some coastlines, inaccurate or complex wind fields in coastal and mountainous regions, and high noise in the divergence maps for high background pollution.
The derived emissions are generally too low, lacking a factor of about 2 up to 8 for extreme cases.
This strong low bias results from combination of different effects, most of all a strong underestimation of near-surface NO2 in TROPOMI NO2 columns. Still, the catalog has high potential for checking and improving emission inventories, as it provides accurate and independent up-to-date information on the location of sources of NOx and thus also CO2. The catalog of NOx emissions from point sources is freely available at https://doi.org/10.26050/WDCC/Quant_NOx_TROPOMI (Beirle et al., 2020).
Development and implementation of virtual field teaching resources: two karst geomorphology modules and three virtual capstone pathways
Authors: Bosch Rachel
Published: June 2021

Abstract. During the summer of 2020, many geology field camps were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the karst geomorphology field course
I was scheduled to co-teach through Western Kentucky University. When the
National Association of Geoscience Teachers (NAGT), in collaboration with the International Association for Geoscience Diversity (IAGD), began the project of supporting working groups to create online field experience teaching materials, this presented an opportunity. This paper describes the development of two activities derived from that field camp curriculum that are now freely available as peer-reviewed exemplary teaching activities on the Science Education Resource Center (SERC) Online Field Experiences repository under “Karst hydrogeology: a virtual field introduction using © Google Earth and Geographic Information Systems (GIS)” and “Karst hydrogeology: a virtual field experience using © Google Earth, GIS, and TAK [Topographic Analysis Kit].” Each
product includes a student handout, an instructor workflow reference, a
grading rubric, and NAGT-established learning objectives. The introductory
activity is the more basic of the two, is expected to take about an 8 h
workday to teach, and walks students through all the steps, as well as providing global examples of karst landscapes that can be virtually explored. The other activity, “Karst hydrogeology and geomorphology”, assumes student familiarity with © Google Earth, GIS, and karst drainage systems and is expected to take about twice as long as the introductory activity to teach. To make these learning opportunities financially accessible, all software required for the activities is open source, and alternative workflows for the introductory module are provided so that the entire exercise can be completed using a mobile device. Addressing this need for virtual capstone options during the pandemic, and providing a virtual alternative for years to come, these karst activities, along with a subset of other SERC activities, were assembled into three learning tracks, each one providing learning hours equivalent to a traditional field camp, that have been added to the course offerings at the University of Cincinnati Department of Geology. In addition to providing online capstone activities in the time of a pandemic, these learning materials provide alternative experiences to traditional field camps that are inclusive for all geoscience students.

Abstract. West African Sahelian and Sudanian ecosystems
provide essential services to people and also play a significant role
within the global carbon cycle. However, climate and land use are
dynamically changing, and uncertainty remains with respect to how these changes will affect
the potential of these regions to provide food and fodder resources or how they will affect
the biosphere–atmosphere exchange of CO2. In this study, we investigate
the capacity of a process-based biogeochemical model, LandscapeDNDC, to
simulate net ecosystem exchange (NEE) and aboveground biomass of typical
managed and natural Sahelian and Sudanian savanna ecosystems. In order to
improve the simulation of phenology, we introduced soil-water availability
as a common driver of foliage development and productivity for all of these
systems. The new approach was tested by using a sample of sites (calibration
sites) that provided NEE from flux tower observations as well as leaf area index
data from satellite images (MODIS, MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer). For assessing the simulation accuracy,
we applied the calibrated model to 42 additional sites (validation sites)
across West Africa for which measured aboveground biomass data were
available. The model showed good performance regarding biomass of crops,
grass, or trees, yielding correlation coefficients of 0.82, 0.94, and 0.77 and
root-mean-square errors of 0.15, 0.22, and 0.12 kg m−2, respectively.
The simulations indicate aboveground carbon stocks of up to 0.17, 0.33, and
0.54 kg C ha−1 m−2 for agricultural, savanna grasslands, and
savanna mixed tree–grassland sites, respectively. Carbon stocks and exchange rates were particularly
correlated with the abundance of trees, and grass biomass and crop yields were higher under more humid climatic conditions. Our
study shows the capability of LandscapeDNDC to accurately simulate carbon
balances in natural and agricultural ecosystems in semiarid West Africa
under a wide range of conditions; thus, the model could be used to assess the
impact of land-use and climate change on the regional biomass productivity.
Partitioning soil organic carbon into its centennially stable and active fractions with machine-learning models based on Rock-Eval® thermal analysis (PARTYSOCv2.0 and PARTYSOCv2.0EU)

Abstract. Partitioning soil organic carbon (SOC) into two kinetically different
fractions that are stable or active on a century scale is key
for an improved monitoring of soil health and for more accurate models of
the carbon cycle. However, all existing SOC fractionation methods isolate
SOC fractions that are mixtures of centennially stable and active SOC. If
the stable SOC fraction cannot be isolated, it has specific chemical and
thermal characteristics that are quickly (ca. 1 h per sample) measurable
using Rock-Eval® thermal analysis. An
alternative would thus be to (1) train a machine-learning model on the
Rock-Eval® thermal analysis data for soil samples from
long-term experiments for which the size of the centennially stable and active
SOC fractions can be estimated and (2) apply this model to the
Rock-Eval® data for unknown soils to partition SOC into its
centennially stable and active fractions. Here, we significantly extend the
validity range of a previously published machine-learning model
(Cécillon et al., 2018) that is built upon this strategy.
The second version of this model, which we propose to name PARTYSOC,
uses six European long-term agricultural sites including a bare fallow
treatment and one South American vegetation change (C4 to C3
plants) site as reference sites. The European version of the model
(PARTYSOCv2.0EU) predicts the proportion of the centennially
stable SOC fraction with a root mean square error of 0.15 (relative
root mean square error of 0.27) at six independent validation sites. More
specifically, our results show that PARTYSOCv2.0EU reliably
partitions SOC kinetic fractions at its northwestern European validation
sites on Cambisols and Luvisols, which are the two dominant soil groups in
this region. We plan future developments of the PARTYSOC global model
using additional reference soils developed under diverse pedoclimates and
ecosystems to further expand its domain of application while reducing its
prediction error.

Published: June 2021

The aim of this study was to evaluate occlusal and orofacial myofunctional characteristics in children three to five years of age with anterior open bite related to a pacifier sucking habit. Sixty-nine children participated in this study: 35 with anterior open bite (Anterior Open Bite Group - AOBG) and 34 with normal occlusion (Control Group - CG). In AOBG, the mean anterior open bite was 2.96 mm, the mean overjet was 4.1 mm and the mean upper intercanine distance was 28.7 mm. In the CG, the mean overjet was 2.6 mm and the upper intercanine distance was 30.3 mm. The mean overjet was greater (p=0.001) in AOBG than in CG, and the mean upper intercanine distance was smaller (p<0.001) in AOBG. The number of children with a canine Class II relationship was greater in AOBG than in CG (p<0.001). Simple logistic regression analysis showed that greater overjet, smaller upper intercanine distance and Class II canine relationship coexisted with anterior open bite. In AOBG, the number of children with incompetent lips, inadequate lip tonus, lack of proper tongue rest position, inadequate cheek tonus, anterior tongue interposition during swallowing and speech was greater (p<0.05) than in CG. Multiple logistic regression analysis identified anterior tongue interposition during swallow and speech, as well as incompetent lips, as the main orofacial myofunctional characteristics in children with anterior open bite.

Perceptions of Help-Seeking Barriers Among College Students With Mental Health Disabilities
Authors: Fullmer Lindsey , Fleming Allison R. , Green Kathleen M.
Published: June 2021

Colleges and universities are seeing increasing numbers of students seeking mental health services, including both students who have a history of mental health conditions and those seeking support for the first time. The academic consequences for students with mental health conditions are significant, including poor class attendance, lower grade-point average, and course failure. Individuals struggling academically are less likely to persist and graduate with a degree. Understanding student experiences, including their satisfaction with mental health services, is critical to providing effective resources. Perceptions of stigma, campus climate, and satisfaction with services are among the most prevalent barriers to help-seeking, presenting significant challenges to efforts to support student mental health. This study used data from the Healthy Minds questionnaire to examine differences in perceptions of help-seeking barriers based on students’ history of mental health diagnoses and indicators of self-harm. Results indicated students with histories of mental health and/or risk of self-harm have fewer positive perceptions of stigma, campus climate, and satisfaction with services on campus. Suggestions for professionals providing supports to college students with mental health disabilities are provided.
La estética de la inocencia: el uso camp de la Cenicienta Disney por Tommy Hilfiger en la Gala del Met
Authors: Vicens Poveda Ana
Published: June 2021

Notas sobre lo camp de Susan Sontag (1964) supuso el asentamiento del camp en el ámbito cultural y académico; pero nunca había trascendido a la comunicación de masas. Con la Gala del Met de 2019 el camp llega a todos los públicos, a través de artistas y modelos famosos. En este artículo nos acercamos a la expresión del camp a través del diseño presentado por Tommy Hilfiger para la actriz Zendaya haciendo una reescritura del cuento de hadas, La Cenicienta (Perrault, 1697). La estética inspirada en la adaptación de Disney en 1950 se presenta como un elemento camp mezclando conceptos como la magia, la transformación y la inocencia a través de la moda. Reescribir y reinterpretar cuentos europeos forma parte de la tradición literaria y cinematográfica; la moda toma este relevo en diseños utilizando los elementos propios del cuento para una nueva construcción del relato. Desde el camp se busca reescribir distintas narraciones socialmente aceptadas como la feminidad, a través de la ironía, la imitación y la exageración -elementos propios del camp- observados en muchos de los trajes de la gala. Este trabajo busca encontrar los signos que definen la estética de la inocencia, los símbolos que se han constituido como mitos consolidados representantes de la infancia, y su posible utilización para la creación de un diseño de moda como elemento camp. Veremos los puntos de encuentro entre la adaptación cinematográfica, la presentación del traje en la Gala del Met y la sensibilidad camp.
Masculinidades virtuales. Un estudio comparado del cuerpo gay a través de Grindr y Tinder
Authors: Caballero Gálvez Antonio A.
Published: June 2021

El estudio de las citas online es un área de investigación cada vez más en auge. Tanto internet como las redes sociales han revolucionado la forma en que se inician las relaciones románticas y/o sexuales. La imagen es clave en estas aplicaciones en las que la inmediatez es una de sus características básicas. Para poder conocer y clasificar los tipos de representaciones virtuales gays han sido seleccionadas las apps de Grindr y Tinder, que son actualmente las apps de citas online gay con mayor número de ususarios. Este artículo se presenta como una investigación interdisciplinar a partir de un marco teórico conceptual que incluye teoría queer, estudios de comunicación y sociología. Este trabajo se aborda metodológicamente desde una doble perspectiva; un análisis cualitativo de la representación visual de los cuerpos, poniendo especial énfasis en la manera en que el sexo y el género se representan en estas redes, y no sobre su escenificación real; y por otra parte, un análisis cuantitativo de 50 perfiles de cada una de las aplicaciones, a través de las cuáles se han categorizados los cuerpos en función de la imagen presentada. Los resultados constatan la ausencia de masculnidades minoritas o alternativas a la masculinidad hegemónica. Con respeto a esta realidad, consideramos que las redes sociales, y especialmente, las dos aplicaciones investigadas han perdido la oportunidad de convertirse en una plataformas útiles y revolucionarias en cuanto al a representación y visualización de nuevas identidad de género.
Estudo terminológico para análise de domínio de gênero e sexualidade: o caso de termos «fronteiriços» para sistemas de organização do conhecimento
Authors: Assis Pinho Fabio
Published: June 2021

Este artigo é um estudo terminológico para compreender a classificação de termos considerados «fronteiriços» em relação à questão de gênero, oriundos do domínio da homossexualidade, onde buscaram-se respostas para a maneira de ligar a questão da materialidade do corpo com a performatividade de gênero e para como definir e classificar termos que são «fronteiriços» em relação ao gênero e como figuram em linguagens documentárias. Material e Métodos: Foi desenvolvida uma pesquisa exploratória e documental onde os corpora investigativos foram as palavras-chave identificadas nos artigos científicos publicados nas revistas Journal of Homosexuality, na Sexualities e na Journal of Gay and Lesbian Mental Health, entre os anos de 2011 a 2016. Após a identificação, os corpora foram classificados utilizando as categorias PMEST de Ranganathan, o metafiltro e os mapas conceituais. Resultados: Foram identificados 4.356 termos e 35 foram considerados «fronteiriços» em relação à questão de gênero e sexualidade que demonstraram que há maneiras de ligar a questão da materialidade do corpo com a performatividade de gênero, especialmente se observarmos os conceitos dos termos «fronteiriços», a partir da classificação de acordo com as categorias do PMEST de Ranganathan, no metafiltro e nos mapas conceituais, com intuito de compreender os aspectos epistêmicos de seus conceitos. Conclusão: Conclui-se que o estudo terminológico permite compreender a questão da materialidade do corpo com a performatividade de gênero, especialmente se observarmos os conceitos dos termos «fronteiriços» e os núcleos temáticos apresentados nos mapas conceituais.

Can Knowledge Transfer Be Considered Expatriate Success
Authors: Singh Anita R.
Published: June 2021

This paper endeavours to study expatriate success through one of the primary roles of expatriate, that is, knowledge transfer. This
present research was designed to analyze expatriate capability, that is, their ability and willingness to transfer both technical and
managerial knowledge to the subsidiary. This study identifies the tools for transfer knowledge and finally, examines the relationship
between expatriate motivation and their use of knowledge transfer tools. The findings indicate that managerial and functional skills
are important for effective expatriate knowledge transfer in the subsidiaries. The results also show that there is a significant
relationship between expatriate motivation and using face-toface interactions for transferring knowledge. These findings have
implication for corporate managers designing strategic policies and practices facilitating expatriate knowledge transfer in the
subsidiaries.
