Fusion Approach-Based Horticulture Plant Diseases Identification Using Image Processing
Authors: Balakrishna K.
Published: April 2020

Plant disease is the major threat to the productivity of the plants. Identification of the plant diseases is the key to prevent the losses in the productivity and quality of the yield. It is a very challenging task to identify diseases detection on the plant for sustainable agriculture, where it requires a tremendous amount of work, expertise in the plant disease, and also requires excessive processing time. Hence, image processing is used here for detection of diseases in multi-horticulture plants such as alternaria alternata, anthracnose, bacterial blight, and cercospora leaf spot and also addition with the healthy leaves. In the first stage, the leaf is classified as healthy or unhealthy using the KNN approach. In the second stage, they classify the unhealthy leaf using PNN, SVM, and the KNN approach. The features are like GLCM, Gabor, and color are used for classification purposes. Experimentation is conducted on the authors own dataset of 820 healthy and unhealthy leaves. The experimentation reveals that the fusion approach with PNN and SVM classifier outperforms KNN methods.
Segmentation-Free Word Spotting in Handwritten Documents Using Scale Space Co-HoG Feature Descriptors
Authors: C. J. Prabhakar
Published: April 2020

In this chapter, the author present a segmentation-free-based word spotting method for handwritten documents using Scale Space co-occurrence histograms of oriented gradients (Co-HOG) feature descriptor. The chapter begin with introduction to word spotting, its challenges, and applications. It is followed by review of the existing techniques for word spotting in handwritten documents. The literature survey reveals that segmentation-based word spotting methods usually need a layout analysis step for word segmentation, and any segmentation errors can affect the subsequent word representations and matching steps. Hence, in order to overcome the drawbacks of segmentation-based methods, the author proposed segmentation-free word spotting using Scale Space Co-HOG feature descriptor. The proposed method is evaluated using mean Average Precision (mAP) through experimentation conducted on popular datasets such as GW and IAM. The performance of the proposed method is compared with existing state-of-the-segmentation and segmentation-free methods, and there is a considerable increase in accuracy.
Exceptional Children
Authors: Karabulut Ridvan
Published: April 2020

In addition to the children who show typical development, there are also children who show atypical development. Individuals whose development varies compared to their peers and whose differences are identified by experts are called individuals with special needs. Individuals with special needs can be children with intellectual disabilities, sight, hearing impairment, language and speech disorders, physical disability and chronic illness, specific learning difficulties, children with autism spectrum disorder and gifted children. The causes of special needs are generally prenatal causes, which can often be hereditary and can be classified as natal and postnatal. The identification of individuals with special needs from early ages and the use of appropriate intervention methods are vital for these children. Children who are happy and a future producing part of society due to early recognition and accurate education methods are directly related to the quality of the intervention performed.

Published: April 2020

Early childhood is a period that is associated with the development process of children. It was determined that physical, motor, cognitive, language, emotional and social development, which was created in accordance with the characteristics of the developmental period of children in the early childhood, did not change much direction in later ages, the improvement in the same direction was higher. In the early childhood, children begin to learn the rules of society limited to their own environment. They understand language and show great development. Socialization and gender awareness begin to form. The researches revealed that behaviors and attitudes gained during this period shape the habits, attitudes, beliefs, value judgments and personality traits of the individual when they are adults. In this section, the changes in physical, motor, cognitive, language, emotional-social development of the first childhood are examined.
Early Intervention in Child Development
Authors: Kaytez Nazan
Published: April 2020

Early intervention refers to programs developed for infants and young children with developmental delays or inadequacies or who are at risk group, and their families. The aim of the early intervention is providing services for children with disabilities, minimizing their developmental delay and disability levels and guiding parents for positive development of children. Early intervention includes extremely important studies for children in need of developmental support and their families. The effective early intervention treatment requires a gradual progress, teamwork with a multidisciplinary approach, and family should be considered as the most important element of the treatment and participate in the decision-making at every phase, alongside effective use of the Individualized Family Service Plan and updating the plan when it is necessary. It should be noted that early intervention is an ongoing process. In this process, the family and the child should be considered as a whole and supported in a holistic way.
Contribution of Outdoor Play Activities to Infant and Toddler Development
Authors: Atli Sibel , Baran Gülen
Published: April 2020

The natural environment has generally a structure to support all areas of development of children. It can be said that the interior spaces are deprived of naturalness and have less stimulation compared to outdoor spaces. Playgrounds outdoors have forms, textures, heights, and mobility in a natural or artificial landscape have the energy to encourage children to play and move. The first years of the early childhood period are of a vital importance in terms of all areas of development. Pedagogues or parents should provide the activities and environments that will enable the infants and toddlers to get pleasure out of life and that can create a learning skill and give new skills to the children at same time. Therefore, in this study, outdoor and outdoor play activities that will support the development areas of 0-36-month-old children will be discussed.
A Universal Image Forensics of Smoothing Filtering
Authors: Peng Anjie , Yu Gao , Wu Yadong , Zhang Qiong , Kang Xiangui
Published: April 2020

Digital image smoothing filtering operations, including the average filtering, Gaussian filtering and median filtering are always used to beautify the forged images. The detection of these smoothing operations is important in the image forensics field. In this article, the authors propose a universal detection algorithm which can simultaneously detect the average filtering, Gaussian low-pass filtering and median filtering. Firstly, the high-frequency residuals are used as being the feature extraction domain, and then the feature extraction is established on the local binary pattern (LBP) and the autoregressive model (AR). For the LBP model, the authors exploit that both of the relationships between the central pixel and its neighboring pixels and the relationships among the neighboring pixels are differentiated for the original images and smoothing filtered images. A method is further developed to reduce the high dimensionality of LBP-based features. Experimental results show that the proposed detector is effective in the smoothing forensics, and achieves better performance than the previous works, especially on the JPEG images.
Investigation Approach for Network Attack Intention Recognition
Authors: Ahmed Abdulghani Ali
Published: April 2020

Sensitive information has critical risks when transmitted through computer networks. Existing protection systems still have limitations with treating network information with sufficient confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The rapid development of network technologies helps increase network attacks and hides their malicious intentions. Attack intention is the ultimate attack goal that the attacker attempts to achieve by executing various intrusion methods or techniques. Recognizing attack intentions helps security administrator develop effective protection systems that can detect network attacks that have similar intentions. This paper analyses attack types and classifies them according to their malicious intent. An investigation approach based on similarity metric is proposed to recognize attacker plans and predict their intentions. The obtained results demonstrate that the proposed approach is capable of investigating similarity of attack signatures and recognizing the intentions of Network attack.

Authors: Yang Liang , Gao Tiegang , Xuan Yan , Gao Hang
Published: April 2020

A novel image forensic algorithm against contrast modification based on merged weight histogram of run length is proposed. In the proposed algorithm, the run length histogram features were firstly extracted, and then those of different orientation were subsequently merged; after normalization of the prior features, the authors calculated leaps in the histogram numerically; lastly, the generated features of authentic and tampered images were trained by a SVM classifier. Large amounts of experiments show that, the proposed algorithm has low cost of computation complexity, compared with some existing scheme, and it has better performance with many test databases, furthermore, the proposed algorithm can effectively detect local contrast modification of image.

Authors: Akremi Aymen , Sriti Mohamed-Foued , Sallay Hassen , Rouached Mohsen
Published: April 2020

The big data generated by today Web services makes very fastidious and time-consuming the investigators logs management and analysis tasks. This is due partly to the lack of an efficient web service dedicated log data representation. We introduce, in this paper, an extensible standard based semantic ontology representation of Web service log data to identify hidden information and extract eventual scenario of Cyber-attacks in the web logs. The proposed ontology supports the Web service specification and it satisfies the forensics and admissibility requirements. Through a friendly graphical user interface, the investigator can define validation rules and queries and execute them using a logical reasoner over the proposed ontology to get some comprehensive forensic report ready to present to the court. We also showed how the proposed ontology can facilitate the investigator analysis task, reduce required time, and enhance the forensics process comprehensiveness.
Fingerprint Image Hashing Based on Minutiae Points and Shape Context
Authors: Abdullahi Sani M. , Wang Hongxia , Malik Asad
Published: April 2020

Fingerprint minutiae is the unique representation of fingerprint image feature points as terminations and bifurcations. Therefore, generating a hash signature from these feature points will unarguably meet the desired properties of a robust hash signature and which will accurately fit in for fingerprint image content authentication purposes. This article proposes a novel minutiae and shape context-based fingerprint image hashing scheme. Fingerprint image minutiae points were extracted by incorporating their orientation and descriptors, then embedded into the shape context-based descriptors in order to generate a unique, compact, and robust hash signature. The robustness of the proposed scheme is determined by performing content preserving attacks, including noise addition, blurring and geometric distribution. Efficient results were achieved from the given attacks. Also, a series of evaluations on the performance comparison between the proposed and other state-of-art schemes has proven the approach to be robust and secure, by yielding a better result.

Published: April 2020

Agriculture and food in the United Nations Framework Convention on Agriculture (1992) and related legal instruments, including the Paris Agreement (2015). With initial discussions during climate negotiations from 2004 to 2011, issues related to agriculture were discussed from 2012 to 2017 in the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA), which is one of the two permanent subsidiary bodies of the UNFCCC. The first substantive outcome and the decision of the Conference of Parties (COP) was made at the 23rd COP (Decision 4/CP.23) held in Bonn, Germany in November 2017. The decision SBSTA and Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI) to jointly address issues related to agriculture. Further, it officially acknowledged the significance of the agriculture sector in adapting to and mitigating climate change through the Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture (KJWA). The KJWA road map has been developed with the final reporting to be taken place in COP 26 in Glasgow, United Kingdom in 2020. This paper provides the major events that have taken place during the agriculture negotiations to-date under the UNFCCC.
Assessing in vitro germination and seedling growth of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) cv KC-1 in response to polyethylene glycol-induced water stress
Authors: Wickramasinghe Iresha Madhushani , Seran Thayamini H.
Published: April 2020

Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a high molecular weight osmoticum, which can be used to induce water stress artificially in a nutrient medium. An experiment was conducted with four concentrations of polyethylene glycol namely 30 g/L, 60 g/L, 90 g/L with a control to study the effect of PEG on seed germination and seedling performance of tomato cv. KC-1. The experiment was laid out on a complete randomized design (CRD) with six replicates. Data was analyzed using the regression and Pearson correlation analysis. The PEG concentrations fortified to the culture media had significant negative relationships (p<0.0001) for all estimated parameters such as shoot length, root length, fresh weight, dry weight, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll content of the in vitro grown tomato seedlings. The MS media fortified with 0 mg/L PEG treatment (control) exhibited better seed germination percentage (87.8%) and seedling performance, while the minimum value of seed germination (21.9%) was noted under 90 g/L PEG treatment at 20 days after culture. In control PEG treatment, high values were noted for shoot length (2.88 cm), root length (1.67 cm), fresh weight (60.37 mg), dry weight (8.93 mg), chlorophyll a (1.38 mg/g), chlorophyll b (0.48 mg/g), total chlorophyll content (1.86 mg/g) after 4 weeks of culture. The decreased in seed germination and seedling growth rate probably due to lower the water potential of the culture media by supplement with the PEG into the MS medium fortified with 2 mg/L BAP. In vitro germination and seedling growth were considerably reduced on 60 g/L and 90 g/L PEG concentrations.

Published: April 2020

Reduction of labour is one of the major concerns in the recent past in the agriculture sector of Sri Lanka recent past. Agriculture has become less attractive to youth. Even though mechanization will be one of the better solution to overcome this problem, high cost of capital requirement restricts small land owners to move into mechanization. The Department of Agriculture (DOA) has identified this issue and proposed to establish machinery hiring-out centres to enable the farmers to obtain services at a reasonable rate. This study aimed at estimating the financial feasibility and economic feasibility of hiring-out centres over the project economic life of 10 years. Financial feasibility analysis included financial statement analysis, net project worth assessment and sensitivity analysis. For the purpose of economic analysis, financial prices were converted to shadow prices using the shadow exchange rates and project worth was recalculated. In project analysis, it is common to have multiple IRR rates, which was answered with MIRR estimation representing the actual IRR. Results of the study revealed that the project is financially viable and generates positive net income of Rs. 27 million annually throughout the period, generation of net cash inflow of Rs. 257.7 million, and accumulation of net assets of Rs. 277.7 million. Project worth analysis resulted in a positive financial NPV of Rs. 7.6 million, IRR of 19%, MIRR of 13% and a B/C ratio of 1.03. However, the IRR value and B/C ratio is contradictory to each other due to multiple IRR values and limited time frame of analysis of 10 years and this was addressed through MIRR measure, which is the optimal IRR value of the project and is consistent with the B/C ratio. Economic feasibility analysis showed a positive ENPV of Rs. 10.1 million, EIRR of 28%, EMIRR of 18% and a B/C ratio of 1.05. The study concluded that establishment of a machinery hiring-out centre is feasible at financial and economic conditions in a minimal risk environment. Consequently, government may have a role in facilitating the project implementation with suitable subsidy scheme till the project maturity. Development of a suitable implementation design would be the next step such as a PPP model.
Importance of anaerobic seed germination and seedling development in direct-seeded rice with special reference to Sri Lanka
Authors: Illangakoon T. K. , Marambe B. , Keerthisena R. S. K. , Kumar V.
Published: April 2020

Direct-seeded rice (DSR) is becoming more popular among paddy farmers but it results in irregular stand establishment and high weed infestation. Early season flooding is another constraint to rice production in tropics as well as some of the major rice-growing areas in global scale and Sri Lanka is not an exception. Ability of some rice (Oryza sativa L.) genotypes to tolerate flooding during germination and seedling growth or anaerobic germination (AG) tolerance could help in overcoming the major obstacles in DSR. The rice cultivars, their mechanisms and the major QTLs governing AG-tolerance have been identified and two genes namely AG1 and AG2 have been incorporated to popular rice varieties for direct use. However, limited attempts have been made to screen Sri Lankan rice entries for AG tolerance. This review emphasizes the progress of AG-tolerance research, current challenges, future prospects as well as the importance of screening and identifying AG-tolerant rice varieties and validating management options to use this technology in DSR system in Sri Lanka.
Defining Athletic Training in the Military Setting: A Survey Investigation Into Professional Characteristics, Preparation, and Barriers in Clinical Practice
Authors: Radzak Kara N. , Sedory Edward J. , Hooper Michael , Kasamatsu Tricia M.
Published: April 2020

Context

The skill sets of athletic trainers (ATs) provide a unique contribution to the US military's optimization of physical readiness, and these positions are becoming more prevalent. However, knowledge regarding the job characteristics of, and ATs' preparation for, employment in a military setting is limited.

Objective

To assess the position and clinician characteristics of ATs working with military members and document their perceptions of working in the military setting.

Design

Cross-sectional study.

Setting

Online survey.

Patients or Other Participants

A total of 53 ATs who currently or formerly worked in the military setting.

Data Collection and Analysis

A Web-based survey with closed- and open-ended questions was distributed via e-mail and social media. Closed-ended data were analyzed via descriptive statistics, and open-ended questions were evaluated for common themes using thematic analysis.

Results

Respondents were primarily males (n = 31, 58.5%), had a master's degree (n = 42, 79.2%), and were not current or former service members (n = 46, 86.8%). Positions were primarily full time (n = 50, 94.3%), contracted with an independent company (n = 27, 50.9%), and within the Army (n = 24, 45.3%). The ATs were highly satisfied with their workload and ability to apply their skill set. Qualitative analysis revealed 3 themes: (1) the context of clinical practice in the military (eg, rewarding, job scope, military environment), (2) the importance of clinical and interpersonal skills, and (3) the existence of multiple barriers (eg, hiring, military culture, lack of recognition).

Conclusions

Overall, ATs working in the military setting were well-qualified practitioners who were very satisfied with their current positions, yet they also reported barriers, such as working within the military culture and lack of recognition of their skill set. Although ATs indicated a neutral belief that professional degree preparation was sufficient for this clinical practice setting, the qualitative themes provided additional career-preparation advice for individuals interested in this setting.

Factorization problems in complex reflection groups
Authors: Lewis Joel Brewster , Morales Alejandro H.
Published: April 2020

We enumerate factorizations of a Coxeter element in a well-generated complex reflection group into arbitrary factors, keeping track of the fixed space dimension of each factor. In the infinite families of generalized permutations, our approach is fully combinatorial. It gives results analogous to those of Jackson in the symmetric group and can be refined to encode a notion of cycle type. As one application of our results, we give a previously overlooked characterization of the poset of W-noncrossing partitions.

This case report underlines the appearance of a “walking pneumonia” in a novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) patient, with evidence of progressive lung involvement on chest imaging studies. The patient traveled from Wuhan, Hubei, China, to Thailand in January 2020. One of her family members was diagnosed with COVID-19. She presented to the hospital because of her concern, but she was without fever or any respiratory symptoms. Three days earlier, her nasopharyngeal and throat swabs revealed a negative severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) test by real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Her initial chest radiography was abnormal, and her first sputum SARS-CoV-2 test yielded inconclusive results. A subsequent sputum test was positive for SARS-CoV-2. Diagnosis in this patient was facilitated by chest imaging and repeat viral testing. Thus, chest imaging studies might enhance capabilities for early diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia.
Polska nauka o archiwach wobec nauki o dokumencie oraz rozwoju inter-, multi- i transdyscyplinarności
Authors: Skupieński Krzysztof
Published: April 2020

Artykuł to dyskurs proponujący jeden z kierunków, w których może podążać polska archiwistyka, by szerzej wkroczyć w nowoczesną interdyscyplinarność. W części pierwszej wskazano, że ogólne ramy tworzą do tego ujęcia z filozofii nauki oraz nowy podręcznik oksfordzki. Wzięto też pod uwagę dyskusje polskich filozofów, politologów, pedagogów i innych analizujących rozmaite odmiany interdyscyplinarności. Z podręczników archiwistyki wydobyto głównie refleksje nad jej zakresem oraz relacjami z innymi naukami, zwracając szczególną uwagę na koncepcje Tadeusza Grygiera.

Część druga, to wstępna próba rozpoznania pewnych kierunków rozwoju interdyscyplinarności, zwłaszcza w obu archiwistykach północnoamerykańskich oraz australijskiej, w poszukiwaniu ewentualnych inspiracji dla polskiej nauki o i archiwach. Ogólny obraz starano się uzyskać z wybranych prac Sue McKemmish i Anne J. Gilliland i innych, ze skupieniem się na znaczeniu dowodowości jako podstawowej cechy dokumentacji interesującej archiwistów i records managerów.

Z kolei zajęto się artykułem Livii Iacovino z 2004 r. Wydobyto wątek o i konieczności odnowienia silnych więzi nauki o i archiwach z naukami prawnymi. Do tego nawołuje Luciana Duranti, uznająca prymarne znaczenie dyplomatyki dla archiwistyki. Autor zgadza się z tymi poglądami, przypominając o i swej propozycji, by ośrodkiem koncepcji kształcenia archiwistów i records managerów uczynić zjawisko dokumentu. Wskazano również na najciekawsze przykłady archiwistycznej interdyscyplinarności anglosaskiej.
O społecznych rolach archiwów we współczesnym dyskursie archiwalnym w Polsce na marginesie dyskusji panelowej „Archiwa w przestrzeni publicznej”
Authors: Rosa Agnieszka
Published: April 2020

Celem artykułu jest podsumowanie refleksji na temat obecności archiwów w przestrzeni publicznej, postrzeganej jako realizacja ich funkcji lub ról społecznych, jaka ma miejsce w ostatnich latach w archiwalnym dyskursie naukowym w Polsce, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem dyskusji, jaka się odbyła w czasie panelu „Archiwa w przestrzeni publicznej” na XX Powszechnym Zjeździe Historyków w Lublinie we wrześniu 2019 r. Do zgromadzenia danych została wykorzystana metoda analizy tekstów za pomocą techniki analizy jakościowej. Do analizy danych natomiast metoda analizy i krytyki piśmiennictwa, a także metoda dedukcji, która umożliwiła ocenę i weryfikację zgromadzonych informacji. W artykule odniesiono się do tematyki poruszanej na archiwalnych konferencjach naukowych w ostatnim roku, przeanalizowano najnowszą i podstawową literaturę opublikowaną na łamach polskich czasopism i w monografiach dotyczącą funkcji i społecznych ról archiwów, a także do współczesnych badań w paradygmacie antropologicznym w archiwistyce. Na bazie zgromadzonych danych odniesiono się do ogólnych wniosków, jakie płyną z dyskusji przeprowadzonej w czasie panelu „Archiwa w przestrzeni publicznej” w Lublinie. Przede wszystkim wskazano na rozbieżności w postrzeganiu ról i funkcji archiwów między archiwami (pracującymi w nich archiwistami) i elementami z ich otoczenia (głównie użytkownikami i współpracownikami archiwów), a także między archiwistami-praktykami i archiwistami-teoretykami.
Księgi miejskie Proszowic z XV–XVIII w. Studium kodykologiczne
Authors: Nabiałek Karol
Published: April 2020

Artykuł stanowi wstępne studium dotyczące ksiąg miejskich Proszowic. Było to miasto królewskie położone w dawnym województwie krakowskim, zaliczane do II kategorii podatkowej, lokowane w 1358 r. przez Kazimierza Wielkiego. Sporządzono opisy kodykologiczne 10 zachowanych i zidentyfikowanych rękopisów. Ponadto zostały zinwentaryzowane rozproszone fragmenty ksiąg ławniczych, radzieckich i radziecko-ławniczych z XVII–XVIII w. Najstarsza księga miejska (l. 1418–1456) zawiera głównie wpisy rady, w części dokonane z udziałem wójta i ławników. Jeden z tomów to księga rachunkowa z lat 1768–1786. Pozostałe rękopisy to księgi ławnicze, a więc dokumentacja działalności sądu ławniczego (l. 1449–1588) oraz księga kryminalna, która zawiera wpisy z lat 1581–1686 dotyczące spraw karnych rozpatrywanych przez sąd miejski. W ramach ksiąg wójtowsko-ławniczych można zasadniczo wyróżnić dwie serie, które były prowadzone od XV w. Pierwsza początkowo miała postać składek bez oprawy, natomiast druga to kodeksy, czyli rękopisy oprawione. Oprócz czterech najstarszych rękopisów pozostałe księgi miejskie Proszowic nie były dotąd znane i wykorzystywane w literaturze.
Wzmocnienie roli nauk o informacji w dydaktyce archiwistyki – próba oceny funkcjonowania kierunku studiów infobrokerstwo, zarządzanie dokumentacją i archiwistyka na Uniwersytecie Pedagogicznym w Krakowie
Authors: Drzewiecki Bartosz , Pieczka Anna
Published: April 2020

Od wielu lat trwa w Polsce dyskusja na temat ewolucji modelu kształcenia uniwersyteckiego w dziedzinie archiwistyki. Najpierw w klasycznym, opartym na historii, programie nauczania dostrzeżono konieczność podkreślenia roli zarządzania dokumentacją, a ostatnio – w związku z rozwojem społeczeństwa informacyjnego – coraz więcej mówi się o potrzebie zwiększenia w dydaktyce archiwistyki udziału nauk o informacji. Doświadczenia innych państw pokazują, że z powodzeniem kształcenie archiwistów można oprzeć na ośrodkach związanych z bibliotekoznawstwem i informatologią. Wychodząc naprzeciw potrzebom rynku pracy, Instytut Historii i Archiwistyki Uniwersytetu Pedagogicznego w Krakowie prowadzi od 2014 r. studia licencjackie (a od 2017 r. magisterskie) z zakresu archiwistyki, główny ciężar kształcenia kładąc jednak na zarządzanie dokumentacją oraz w dość znacznym stopniu – jak na studia wciąż powiązane z ośrodkiem kształcenia historyków – na praktyczne zastosowanie nauk o informacji. W ten sposób powstał kierunek studiów o nazwie infobrokerstwo, zarządzanie dokumentacją i archiwistyka. Artykuł stanowi próbę oceny trafności podjętych kilka lat temu decyzji. Zawarto w nim omówienie programu realizowanych studiów, wśród oferowanych kursów wyodrębniając następujące bloki tematyczne: historyczny (dodatkowo wyeksponowano historię ustroju i administracji), archiwistyczny, informatologiczny oraz blok przedmiotów z zakresu zarządzania dokumentacją. Wnioski nasuwające się po zakończeniu dwóch pierwszych cykli kształcenia przedstawiono w centralnej części artykułu. Autorzy, opierając się na tych wnioskach, starają się obiektywnie wykazać zalety przyjętego rozwiązania, ale i wytknąć jego wady, prowadzące do częstych zmian programu studiów, a ostatecznie (w 2017 r.) również zmiany nazwy kierunku.
Dojrzałość metodyki opracowania zasobu archiwalnego – i co dalej? Recenzja monografii Wiesławy Kwiatkowskiej, Dorobek polskiej archiwistyki w zakresie metodyki opracowania zasobu archiwalnego, Naczelna Dyrekcja Archiwów Państwowych, Warszawa 2014, ss. 268

Recenzja dotyczy publikacji będącej syntetycznym ujęciem dorobku polskiej metodyki archiwalnej w latach 1951–2010. Autorka tej pracy poddała analizie wskazówki metodyczne dotyczące zróżnicowanych materiałów archiwalnych i różnych rodzajów zespołów archiwalnych, ich zastosowanie praktyczne oraz odzwierciedlenie tej problematyki na łamach powstającej literatury fachowej. Użyte w publikacji pojęcie „oficjalnej” metodyki i „oficjalnego” piśmiennictwa metodycznego zostało uznane przez recenzentkę za nieczytelne, jednak sam fakt podsumowania normatywnego dorobku archiwistyki polskiej wskazuje na osiągnięcie przez tę dyscyplinę naukową etapu dojrzałości.
Materiały źródłowe do dziejów ekonomii samborskiej w zasobach Centralnego Państwowego Archiwum Historycznego Ukrainy we Lwowie
Authors: Wrona Grzegorz
Published: April 2020

W artykule omówiono materiały źródłowe dotyczące ekonomii samborskiej przechowywane w zasobie Centralnego Państwowego Archiwum Historycznego Ukrainy we Lwowie. Zgromadzone tam dokumenty archiwalne, różniące się pod względem objętości i treści, stanowią istotne źródło informacji na temat funkcjonowania i organizacji samborskich dóbr stołowych. Obejmują swym zakresem XVI–XVIII w., choć wyraźnie przeważają dokumenty z XVIII w. Wśród zachowanych rękopisów dominują akta sądowe będące wytworami działalności sądów zamkowych, komisarskich, radzieckich i żupnych. Stanowią one podstawę do analizy działania aparatu wymiaru sprawiedliwości, położenia mieszkańców miast i wsi ekonomicznych, ich problemów życia codziennego oraz różnorakich przyczyn konfliktów z dzierżawcami kluczy, posesorami wójtostw, przedstawicielami duchowieństwa i szlachty. Procedurę postępowania sądowego odzwierciedlają także licznie zachowane sprawozdania z zeznań świadków (tzw. interrogacje) i apelacje wnoszone do sądów asesorskich i referendarskich. Wśród przechowywanych jednostek archiwalnych należy wymienić również monarsze dekrety i przywileje na łany wójtowskie, wybranieckie, mielnicze, popowskie, protokoły z działalności komisji inwentarzowych oraz rękopisy odnoszące się do Samborskich organizacji cechowych i ludności żydowskiej. Kolekcję materiałów uzupełniają nieliczne fragmenty z inwentarzy krain ekonomicznych oraz – rzucające wiele światła na zagadnienie funkcjonowania żup solnych – dekrety sądów podżupkowskich, ekscerpty z inwentarzy żup i kontrakty dzierżawy nadsańskich składów solnych.

A hipótese central do trabalho prevê que a experiência de compra possui relação positiva e significante com a intenção de recompra. Foi realizada uma pesquisa tipo survey com 416 consumidores da região Sul da cidade de São Paulo e utilizada modelagem de equação estrutural, para avaliar as relações entre caminhos e testes de hipóteses. Os resultados apontam que os consumidores cujas experiências de compra são positivas tendem a possuir intenções de recompra com o mesmo varejista de forma positiva. Foi comprovada uma relação positiva e significante entre os dois construtos. Também se encontrou que a satisfação é um mediador entre a experiência de compra e a intenção de recompra, porém o mesmo não se pode afirmar sobre a confiança. Como contribuição gerencial, este trabalho mostra a importância do varejista em construir pistas que aumentem a experiência de compra do consumidor, como a atmosfera da loja, incentivo à participação de companhias durante o período de compra e a criação de laços de afeição entre o consumidor e a loja. Este estudo é original, pois, no Brasil, poucos trabalhos publicados consideram a experiência de compra como objeto de investigação e não há trabalhos que discutam a mediação da satisfação na intenção de recompra. Sendo assim, a pesquisa se justifica tanto teoricamente como gerencialmente.

Published: April 2020

A responsabilidade social empresarial (RSE) é um conjunto de políticas e ações que as empresas adotam voluntariamente para contribuir com a sociedade, e essas ações podem ocorrer através das organizações da sociedade civil (OSCs), as quais fazem parte do chamado terceiro setor. O objetivo deste estudo consiste em analisar a contribuição das ações da RSE para as práticas das OSCs situadas nas quatro maiores cidades da região norte do Rio Grande do Sul. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa e exploratória sob a abordagem de estudo de casos múltiplos, aplicados a 14 organizações da sociedade civil e 11 empresas do setor privado que contribuem com essas OSCs. Os principais resultados destacam que o terceiro setor e as empresas entendem que desempenham atividades que seriam do Estado, as quais contribuem significativamente para o desenvolvimento regional. Os recursos e outras ajudas oferecidos pelas empresas às OSCs são significativos principalmente para despesas não previstas que surgem na rotina das OSCs participantes da pesquisa e para oferecer algo a mais aos beneficiados. E as contribuições entre empresas e OSCs são vistas, tanto pelas OSCs quanto pelas empresas, como uma contrapartida, na qual as empresas fornecem insumos e as OSCs oferecem serviços sociais.

Published: April 2020

O objetivo do artigo consiste em verificar estatisticamente se nas instituições de ensino superior (IES) privadas os indicadores de avaliação de desempenho possuem relevância diferente do que nas IES públicas, tentando assim identificar a existência do managerialism. Para alcançar o objetivo optou-se por uma pesquisa quantitativa, com técnica de coleta de dados do tipo survey. Para a análise dos dados utilizou-se a técnica estatística denominada teste t para grupos independentes, pois testou-se estatisticamente as hipóteses levantadas na teoria. Como resultado da pesquisa destaca-se vinte per cento dos indicadores de origem na avaliação institucional do MEC não possuem diferença estatística na entre IES públicas e privadas. Em quarenta e um per cento dos indicadores com origem em metodologias de avaliação de desempenho empresarial houve diferenças de percepção nos dois grupos. Como conclusão dessa pesquisa observa-se a existência de managerialism nas IES brasileiras.

Na Análise de Redes Sociais (ARS) podemos mapear e analisar conexões entre atores em um coletivo. Essas conexões, aqui vistas como as relações interpessoais, podem ser fruto de relações profissionais ou vice e versa. Por isso, este estudo objetiva o mapeamento e análise das interações sociais na produção cultural do Distrito Federal (DF). Para tal foram consideradas as teorias sobre economia criativa, o setor criativo no Brasil, as funções do produtor cultural e a teoria de redes sociais. Metodologicamente, esse estudo é exploratório-descritivo, de cunho quali-quantitativo. O instrumento de coleta de dados foi entrevista com 29 questões abertas e 19 fechadas, aplicado a 40 produtores culturais do DF por meio do método bola de neve. Como resultados, destaca-se que foi traçado o perfil sociodemográfico dos produtores, desempenho de suas empresas e identificação das características dos atores centrais da rede. A partir dessa base, observou-se a formação de uma rede com 534 atores, em que os produtores culturais do DF se ligam a uma rede sólida permeada por outros profissionais atuantes na cadeia produtiva da cultura, com diferentes subgrupos de interesse.

Esta pesquisa caracterizada no campo do comportamento organizacional objetiva analisar a influência do comportamento do líder na intenção dos servidores de resistir ou cooperar com o processo de criação e estruturação do modelo de gestão do Instituto Federal de Minas Gerais – IFMG que foi alvo de uma reestruturação na Rede de Educação Profissional e Tecnológica no país. Por meio da aplicação de questionário e realização de entrevistas foi possível coletar os dados dos servidores que participaram do processo de mudança. Os resultados demonstram que o desempenho da liderança cujas dimensões são o esforço extra, a eficácia e a satisfação influenciam positivamente a cooperação e aceitação individual à mudança, mas os estilos de liderança não influenciam nesse processo. Dessa forma, conclui-se que o processo de mudança foi aceito com neutralidade pelos servidores envolvidos e que o foco de desenvolvimento gerencial deve ser o desempenho da liderança.

Published: April 2020

As the industrialized agro-food supply systems have been commonly criticized for their adverse environmental and social impact, Short food supply chains have emerged as a promising sustainable alternative. Given that the history of SFSCs is relatively short, the majority of empirical evidences is from developed countries, and existing studies on SFSCs in developing country context are rather limited. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the farmers’ attitudes towards participating in SFSCs by conducting a field research in China. Semi-structured interviews were implemented with eight participants selected from a local farmer market as a pilot study. The social and economic reasons are found to be the main motivations of Chinese farmers participating in SFSCs. However, none of these interviewed participants are aware of the environmental effects of SFSCs. Moreover, the findings were cross-compared with existing studies conducted in developed countries. It was found that Chinese farmers participating in SFSCs are mainly passive choice, as they lack of relevant knowledge and governmental support.

A proposta deste estudo é examinar a existência de um prêmio pelo risco ligado à falta de liquidez nos mercados de ações brasileiro e norte-americano. Inicialmente, foi estimada a matriz de variância-covariância para os retornos e volumes utilizando o modelo Copula-DCC-GARCH. Depois disso, foram utilizadas estimações para criar um índice beta condicional para liquidez. Os achados sugerem que os investidores brasileiros não recebem uma compensação para negociar ações com baixa liquidez. Podendo ser feito um elo entre os custos de transação e a teoria financeira para explicar esse fenômeno.

Published: April 2020

Esse ensaio teórico visa compreender as fontes de criação de valor por parte das empresas geograficamente concentradas. Seis grupos de recursos do cluster foram identificados, quais sejam: de Produção; de Demanda; de Oferta e Indústrias de Apoio; de Relacionamento no Nível Horizontal; de Relacionamento com as Instituições Locais; e, Global Pipelines. Os cinco primeiros representam as múltiplas interações e fluxos de conhecimentos locais entre as empresas e a atmosfera do cluster (local buzz) e o sexto elemento (global pipelines) representa o reconhecimento dos vínculos externos de relacionamentos, sinalizando que os clusters não são autossuficientes em termos de criação do conhecimento.
