Proyecto político e ideológico de los principales partidos de tipo cristiano-evangélicos en Colombia
Authors: Rodríguez Campo Juan Carlos
Published: April 2020

A partir de la entrada en vigencia de la constitución política de 1991 en Colombia, se crean las condiciones jurídicas e institucionales para el surgimiento de un sistema político multipartidista que vino a romper la hegemonía del bipartidismo histórico de conservadores y liberales. En este escenario alguna congregaciones cristiano-evangélicas se organizan políticamente estructurando un proyecto político e ideológico concreto con el ánimo de moralizar la política en general. Mediante una metodología documental cercana a la hermenéutica se observan textos y contextos con el objetivo de examinar el proyecto político e ideológico de los principales movimientos partidistas de tipo cristiano-evangélicos en Colombia, como factor de influencia colectiva de su militancia. Se concluye que el proyecto político de estas agrupaciones persigue al menos tres propósitos generales: ganar espacios de poder, defender sus derechos políticos y religiosos en el marco de un estado laico y cristianizar la sociedad en general.
Aportes de la Modernidad al desarrollo de la teoría democrática
Authors: Márquez Ramírez Jesús Alberto
Published: April 2020

El objetivo del presente artículo consiste en analizar el pensamiento de algunos autores representativos de la Modernidad y sus aportes al desarrollo de la teoría democrática moderna. La metodología implementada es de índole hermenéutica, inspirada en los aportes de Gadamer (1993), Foucault (2002), a objeto de interpretar el sentido que los autores seleccionados le otorgan de forma, abierta o sobreentendida, a la democracia como gobierno del pueblo.El trabajo pone de relieve los aportes del liberalismo y la ilustración en la definición moderna de la democracia, por lo cual se identifican las líneas maestras trazadas por cuatro intelectuales que impulsaron con sus ideas vanguardistas el tránsito del ancien régime a la modernidad: Baruch de Spinoza (1632-1677), Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778), Maximilien Robespierre (1758-1794) y Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-1859).
PERFORMANCE EVALUATION MODEL OF ROMANIAN MANUFACTURING LISTED COMPANIES BY FUZZY AHP AND TOPSIS
Authors: Ban Adrian Ioan , Ban Olimpia Iuliana , Bogdan Victoria , Sabau Popa Diana Claudia , Tuse Delia
Published: April 2020

We are interested in the hierarchy of the main Romanian companies in the manufacturing industry by considering eight financial and seven non-financial indicators. Thirty three listed companies, that are non-financial institutions, were selected for the study and in order to control the reliability of the data we used the Bucharest Stock Exchange database, official data published by the Romanian Ministry of Public Finance, and the annual reports released by the companies on their websites, collecting information for the years 2011–2015. Because the human thinking is subjective and ambiguous we prefer linguistic variables, converted afterwards in triangular fuzzy numbers, to represent the importance of indicators. Our method involves the calculation of the weights of individual or categories of indicators based on Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process. Then, the level of performance for each company, separately for financial, non-financial and all indicators is obtained by TOPSIS method. We deduce an objective hierarchy of the companies on a rigorous basis, which is however dependent from the choice of indicators and the conversion scale of linguistic variables into triangular fuzzy numbers. Also, following the obtained results we concluded that the overall performance of companies for the analyzed period is significantly influenced by non-financial indicators.
Optical Counterpart to the Ultraluminous X-Ray Source in the UGC 6456 Galaxy
Authors: Vinokurov A. , Atapin K. , Solovyeva Y.
Published: April 2020

We report the identification of the optical counterpart to the transient ultraluminous X-ray source in the blue dwarf galaxy UGC 6456 (VII Zw 403). The source is highly variable in both the X-ray (by a factor of at least 100, 0.3–10 keV) and optical (by a factor of three, V-band) ranges. The peak X-ray luminosity of UGC 6456 ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) exceeds 1040 erg s−1; the absolute magnitude when the source is optically bright is M

V
 = −8.24 ± 0.11, which makes this source one of the brightest ULXs in the optical range. We found a correlation between the optical and X-ray fluxes (with a coefficient of 0.9 ± 0.3), which may indicate that the optical emission is produced by re-processing of the X-rays in outer parts of the optically thick wind coming from the supercritical accretion disk. Optical spectra of UGC 6456 ULX show broad and variable hydrogen and helium emission lines, which also confirms the presence of the strong wind.
« Je suis le tribun-poète » : Jean-Luc Mélenchon ou la politique comme esthétique
Authors: Thérond Florence
Published: April 2020

L’investissement des réseaux sociaux par Jean-Luc Mélenchon, est particulièrement massif et diversifié (blog L’ère du peuple , chaîne YouTube comportant une « Revue de la semaine », comptes Twitter, Facebook, Instagram quotidiennement alimentés). Passionné de la langue et de la littérature française, traversé par « l’onde longue de l’Histoire », en particulier celle de la Révolution, le leader de la France insoumise s’inscrit dans la tradition, proprement française, de l’Homme politique homme de lettres. Il s’agit de poursuivre ici la réflexion sur les rapports entre la politique et la littérature dans le contexte du Web 2.0. Je montrerai comment Jean-Luc Mélenchon et ses conseillers en communication s’approprient les réseaux sociaux pour en faire un espace singulier de création politique et poétique.
Les écritures médiatiques partagées de la mémoire – patrimonialisation et paradigme de l’immatériel
Authors: Pianezza Nolwenn
Published: April 2020

À travers l’analyse de deux dispositifs d’inventaire du patrimoine, conduits de manière partagée entre un groupe social et un relais scientifique sur un territoire donné, nous nous intéressons aux processus de collecte mémorielle de témoignages, de construction documentaire et de mise en média, déployés pour élaborer les savoirs sur le patrimoine en devenir. Nous interrogeons les modalités de la co-écriture médiatique adossées à ces processus de patrimonialisation, en prêtant particulièrement attention aux transformations épistémologiques, symboliques et techniques qu’une telle écriture partagée conditionne au sein du groupe social partenaire en termes de circulation des savoirs.
Y a-t-il une culture rhétorique des officiers angevins ? Italie-Provence-Hongrie (XIIIe-XIVe siècle)
Authors: Grévin Benoît
Published: April 2020

La rhétorique utilisée par dans les chancelleries et écrits administratifs et politiques des mondes angevins des XIIIe-XIVe siècles est souvent considérée comme l’héritière de pratiques déjà en vigueur à la cour de Sicile sous les derniers Hohenstaufen. Pourtant, les conditions mêmes d’installation du pouvoir angevin en Provence, en Italie et en Hongrie posent un certain nombre de questions de ce point de vue. Quelle fut la part de la continuité, mais aussi des circulations entre les différents centres des mondes angevins ? Peut-on dire qu’il a existé une véritable rhétorique angevine ? L’article présente quelques pistes préliminaires à des recherches plus poussées.
Pratiche di tradizione angioina nell’Italia meridionale: dal prelievo diretto alla tassazione negoziata (sec. XIV-XV)
Authors: Morelli Serena
Published: April 2020

Il saggio affronta la problematica della fiscalità diretta nell’Italia meridionale continentale durante la seconda età angioina. Utilizzando alcuni frammenti d’inchieste ordinate da Alfonso d’Aragona al suo arrivo nel Regno, vengono analizzate in retrospettiva le trasformazioni amministrative cui fu soggetto il sistema di prelievo a partire dalla seconda metà del XIV secolo fino alla fine della monarchia angioina. Il sistema organizzato da Carlo I intorno ad un complesso ordine di scritture, che faceva perno sull’attività degli ufficiali delle provincie, subì alcune trasformazioni alla metà del Trecento che riflettevano il mutato equilibrio politico e sociale in un Regno sconvolto dalle guerre di successione e devastato dalla peste. Attraverso la pratica della negoziazione con la corte, le articolate società politiche, che si rafforzarono in un periodo di profonda debolezza della corona, finirono con il condizionare l’organizzazione del prelievo tanto quanto il sistema di scritture, mentre le politiche di accentramento delle funzioni finanziarie e fiscali a corte con il rafforzamento degli organismi della Camera della Sommaria e della scrivania di razione favorivano lo scompaginamento del sistema territoriale pensato da Carlo I e la nascita di nuove figure amministrative addette al prelievo.
Les ecclésiastiques et les offices de la principauté lorraine sous le duc René II (1473-1508)
Authors: Schneider Hélène
Published: April 2020

À l’avènement du duc René II en 1473, les évêchés lorrains sont dominés par l’influence des ducs de Bourgogne. Or, ce sont des principautés d’Empire autonomes vis-à-vis des duchés, puissantes grâce à de vastes temporels et dotées de droits régaliens. René II tente de retourner la situation dans l’objectif d’imposer les candidats de son choix sur les sièges épiscopaux. Il recrute au moins 200 officiers ecclésiastiques très divers par la provenance géographique, les prébendes occupées et la formation. Certains occupent des offices-clés tels que la présidence du conseil ducal ou de la chambre des comptes ou plus modestes comme ceux de conseillers et de secrétaires. Il se fait représenter par eux à Rome pour défendre ses prérogatives et tenter de promouvoir sa politique italienne
Un souverain collectif ? Les officiers du royaume de Sicile et la monarchie, de Frédéric II à la monarchie aragonaise
Authors: Bresc Henri
Published: April 2020

Le royaume de Sicile s’est fondé entre 1090 et 1140 sur un corps de principes qui puise ses racines dans les modèles byzantins : majesté du prince, sacralité du roi, de la loi et du domaine, éternité de la Couronne et de ses possessions. Établie par l’assise Scire volumus de Roger II, cette doctrine sera défendue et appliquée par un service d’officiers et de légistes attentif à inaliénabilité au service des dynasties successives et allié aux aspirations et à l’opinion des villes domaniales. L’excès de son zèle souvent dénoncé n’est que l’expression de la résistance à la corrosion du domaine public et le corps des officiers et des juristes obtient des Parlements mesures et institutions qui mettent en tutelle une monarchie étrangère dépensière et expriment la conscience du royaume face au prince.
Consorti, collaboratrici e vicarie. Il ruolo delle regine nelle questioni amministrative e politiche del Regno
Authors: Andenna Cristina
Published: April 2020

Nel 1338 Roberto aveva affidato alla moglie Sancia la riforma dell’ufficio dei maestri razionali e dell’archivio amministrativo. Si trattava di un insolito incarico per una regina consorte, a cui peraltro Sancia si impegnò con acribia. Il suo interesse si rivolse prevalentemente ad un intervento di carattere organizzativo, che mirava a rivedere il complesso e gerarchizzato sistema della Magna Curia e del suo Archivio. Un primo e fondamentale aspetto di questa riforma riguardò la riduzione del numero degli ufficiali, selezionandoli sulla base della loro capacità e della loro efficienza. Altre disposizioni erano destinate in dettaglio ad organizzare il sistema archivistico, rendendolo più funzionale. La riforma fu approvata da Roberto con un diploma regio datato 13 luglio del 1339 e può essere considerata un modesto, ma pur sempre significativo contributo, nel contesto del più generale processo di lenta trasformazione delle strutture amministrative del regno angioino, già messo in luce da Roberto delle Donne, in vista di una lenta burocratizzazione del sistema della cancelleria e dei suoi apparati. Al di là del suo significato per la riforma delle strutture amministrative del Regno, il documento rivela la capacità di Sancia, moglie di Roberto, ma con lei anche di Maria e delle prime regine angioine, ad intervenire a diverso titolo nell’esercizio del governo del Regno. Nel contributo si è cercato di mostrare, sull’esempio di Maria e di Sancia, quali spazi di azione erano consentiti alle regine angioine fra la fine del secolo XIII e la prima metà del secolo XIV. Come le altre consorti dei sovrani in Aragona, in Castiglia, in Sicilia, a Maiorca e in Portogallo, anche Maria e Sancia non si limitarono nella loro azione politica a gestire e promuovere una reginale Frömmigkeit, pertinente alla sfera religiosa della celebrazione liturgica e della rappresentazione monumentale della memoria dinastica. Esse furono più volte coinvolte nell’esercizio del potere ed agirono in prima persona come vicarie e luogotenenti nel governo, nell’amministrazione e nelle trattative di politica internazionale. Come tali esse, spesso avvalendosi di proprie risorse finanziarie e di una propria “corte nella corte”, ossia di un apparato di funzionari autonomo da quello del sovrano, esercitarono, a seconda delle necessità e degli eventi politici, una reginale Herrschaft e possono pertanto essere considerate, in quanto collaboratrici, consigliere e ‘companyones’ del sovrano, mächtige Frauen.
Nature-Inspired Usability Optimization
Authors: Sakulin Sergey , Alfimtsev Alexander , Kalgin Yuri
Published: April 2020

Nature-inspired algorithms have come into use to solve more and more optimization tasks of high dimension when classical optimization algorithms do not apply. The task of user interface usability optimization becomes the one to be solved by nature-inspired algorithms. Usability optimization suggests a choice of interface design out of a large number of variants. At that, there is no common technique to determine the objective function of such optimization that would lead to the invitation of highly qualified specialists to implement it. The chapter presents a new approach of automatic interface usability optimization. The approach is based on the template employment as well as nature-inspired algorithms such as genetic algorithm (GA), artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm, and charged system search (CSS) algorithm, bacterial foraging optimization (BFO) algorithm, and cuckoo search (CS) algorithm that are analyzed in the chapter. The results of the experiments have discovered research prospects and new features of the algorithms' application for the set task.
Multi-Objective Optimal Power Flow of Integrated Renewable Systems Using a Novel Evolutionary Algorithm
Authors: Mandal Barun , Roy Provas Kumar
Published: April 2020

This chapter introduces an approach to explain optimal power flow (OPF) for stochastic wind and conventional thermal power generators-based system. In this chapter, grasshopper optimization algorithm (GOA) is implemented to efficiently prove its superiority for solving wind-based OPF problem. Diminishing carbon emissions is a significant goal for the entire world; a tremendous penetration of unpredictable wind energy can assist in reducing emissions. In the previous decade, the access of renewable energy opening for energy production has improved significantly. WE has become an important source that has begun to be used for energy all over the world in recent years. The optimal dispatch between thermal and wind units to minimize the total generating costs and emission are considered as multi-objective (MO) model. In MO optimization, whole electrical energy generation costs and burning emissions are concurrently minimized. The performance of aforesaid approach is exercised and it proves itself as a superior technique as compared to other algorithms revealed in the literature.
Multi-Objective Short-Term Hydro-Thermal Scheduling Using Meta-Heuristic Approaches
Authors: Pradhan Moumita , Roy Provas Kumar , Pal Tandra
Published: April 2020

Every day humans face new challenges to survive in this world. It is a big challenge to utilize hydro and thermal generating unit properly. Researchers are trying to explore new techniques to improve scheduling of generating units. Environmental matter is a big issue to modern society. This chapter suggests a well-organized and effective approach using concept of grey wolf optimization (GWO) to deal with non-linear, multi-objective, short-term, hydro-thermal scheduling (MOHTS) problem. Moreover, authors have incorporated oppositional based learning (OBL) to enhance characteristics of GWO to achieve solution more consistently and accurately. To explore authenticity of our proposed algorithms, GWO and OGWO (oppositional based GWO) are applied to multi-chain cascade of 4-hydro and 3-thermal test system. Effective constraints like valve-point loading, water discharge, water storage, etc., are considered here. Statistical comparisons with other enlisted heuristic methods are done. The projected methods solve MOHTS problem quickly and efficiently.
Mobile Anchor-Assisted Localization Using Invasive Weed Optimization Algorithm
Authors: Kulkarni Vaishali Raghavendra , Desai Veena , Sikarwar Akash , Kulkarni Raghavendra V.
Published: April 2020

Sensor localization in wireless sensor networks has been addressed using mobile anchor (MA) and a metaheuristic algorithm. The path of a MA plays an important role in localizing maximum number of sensor nodes. The random and circle path planning methods have been presented. Each method has been evaluated for number of localized nodes, accuracy, and computing time in localization. The localization has been performed using trilateration method and two metaheuristic stochastic algorithms, namely invasive weed optimization (IWO) and cultural algorithm (CA). Experimental results indicate that the IWO-based localization outperforms the trilateration method and the CA-based localization in terms of accuracy but with higher computing time. However, the computing speed of trilateration localization is faster than the IWO- and CA-based localization. In the path-planning algorithms, the results show that the circular path planning algorithm localizes more nodes than the random path.
LITERATURA E CIÊNCIA: O LIVRO FRANKENSTEIN DE MARY SHELLEY COMO POSSIBILIDADE PARA UMA EDUCAÇÃO CIENTÍFICA
Authors: Batista Michel Corci
Published: April 2020

A ciência não pode ser ensinada apenas como um rol de conceitos, leis e teorias de forma isolada, faz-se necessário refletir sobre a forma como a ciência interage com o mundo e suas circunstâncias históricas, ou seja, ensinar ciência é ensinar uma visão de mundo, uma possibilidade para isso é estabelecer uma relação entre arte e ciência. Nesse sentido o presente trabalho objetiva promover uma reflexão crítica sobre ciência a partir da leitura da obra literária “Frankenstein”, de autoria da escritora inglesa Mary Shelley, buscando dar condições ao leitor para construção de uma alfabetização científica. Nosso trabalho é qualitativo do tipo exploratório - interpretativo, pois está preocupado com a análise e a interpretação de uma obra literária de ficção científica. Por meio da análise da obra é possível identificar e compreender as correntes de pensamento da época, a corrente "organicista" ou "vitalista" e a corrente mecaniscista; é possível ainda perceber que implicitamente a autora da obra apresenta uma crítica a forma de pensar a vida proposta pela corrente mecanicista - para isto utiliza-se do conceito de vida proposto pelos vitalistas e, a centelha de vida se faz representada nesse contexto pelo conhecimento físico da eletricidade da época.
O equal rights amendment na segunda onda feminista dos Estados Unidos
Authors: Sparemberger Cristian , Sparemberger Ariosto
Published: April 2020

O contexto social e político da Segunda Onda do Feminismo nos EUA foi marcado pela emenda constitucional denominada Equal Rights Amendment. A proposta de emenda constitucional vislumbrava conceder às mulheres uma garantia legal contra a discriminação de gênero e teve um grande apoio político e social na década de sessenta. No entanto, no início dos anos setenta, grupos conservadores e antifeministas começaram a emergir no contexto norte-americano, impedindo a ratificação da emenda como lei nacional. Avaliando as perspectivas políticas que permearam o trâmite político do Equal Rights Amendment, o presente artigo realiza uma revisão histórica, social e política do ocorrido.
Memória e história da migração centro-americana nas primeiras décadas do século XXI através seu cinema regional
Authors: Vargas Andrea Cabezas
Published: April 2020

O cinema, na mesma maneira da televisão, da prensa, e outros meios de comunicação, contribui na construção de imaginários sociais e culturais, como mostrou claramente o Bourdieu em Langage et pouvoir simbolique (2001) e o Chomsky em A Fabricação do Consenso (2008). Contudo, o cinema a retratar fenômenos sociais, não somente constrói imaginários sino também constrói a criação de arquivos fílmicos e com eles permite construir e reconstruir uma parte da história. Essa é nossa posição, adoptando os postulados do Ferro (1993 [1977]), do Kracauer (1969, 1973) e do Billard (1982). Através a prisma da filosofia da história, o artigo pretende analisar em quê medida o cinema centro-americano contemporâneo pode ser considerado como uma forma de construção e reconstrução da memória e a história das migrações centro-americanas nas primeiras duas décadas do século XXI?

Published: April 2020

Artena uncinata sp. n. from the Philippines (Luzon) is described. This species is a third member of the A. lacteicincta-A. eccentrica group and can readily be separated from its closest allies by the reduced secondary sexual characters of the male and differences in the male genitalia.
The early stages of Miomantis binotata and their bearing on the question whether ant mimicry is a larval feature of first stage praying mantises (Mantodea: Mantidae)
Authors: Haug Joachim T. , Winder Veronika , Ilic Maja , Haug Gideon T. , Haug Carolin
Published: April 2020

Ant mimicry, i.e., the mimicking of ant workers by another organism, is a widespread phenomenon among different groups of Euarthropoda, including spiders and different insect species. One example of ant mimicry occurs among praying mantises (Mantodea); here the first stage nymphs have been recorded to perform ant mimicry. In this study, we investigated different nymphal instars of Miomantis binotata for possible morphological similarities to ants. The different instars were compared as stages supposed to perform ant mimicry would differ morphologically from those stages not supposed to resemble ants. The specimens were investigated under different microscopic settings and measurements were performed. Our results do not show significant differences concerning morphological measurements or shape of structures between the different nymphal instars of M. binotata. One prominent difference between stage one nymphs and later stages occurs in the colouration of the body, which is very dark in the earliest nymph. This difference might explain why young nymphs of Miomantis binotata are interpreted as ant-mimicking, despite the apparent lack of other morphological resemblances.

Expanding the European distribution limits of Bruchidius raddianae. First record in Portugal from Vachellia karroo’s infested seeds (Coleoptera: Bruchidae; Fabales: Fabaceae)
Authors: López-Núñez Francisco A. , Duarte Liliana Neto , Ramos Rafael Yus , Marchante Elizabete , Marchante Hélia
Published: April 2020

Several Australian and African Acacia shrubs and trees have been intentionally introduced into the Mediterranean basin for different purposes, but some species become invasive, such as Vachellia karroo (Hayne) Banfi and Galasso (syn. Acacia karroo) (Fabales: Fabaceae). The seed beetles, belonging to family Bruchidae, have a significant ecological and economic importance, either because they can be plant pests or, on the other hand, be used as biocontrol agents against invasive plant species. Bruchidius raddianae (Anton and Delobel, 2003) (Coleoptera: Bruchidae) is native to tropical and subtropical areas, but it has been recently reported from Cádiz and Málaga (southern Spain, 2007) and in the Lampedusa Island (Italy, 2015) from seeds of pods collected from V. karroo. This paper reports 104 specimens reared from seeds collected from V. karroo in Faro (southern Portugal) from August to October 2019, expanding the B. raddianae’ European distribution limits. This is also the first report of its presence in Portugal and the third in Europe.

Re-examination of the genus-level taxonomy of the pollen beetle subfamily Meligethinae – Part 1. Sagittogethes Audisio and Cline 2009 and allied genera; with description of a new genus (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae)
Authors: Liu Meike , Huang Min , Cline Andrew Richard , Cardoli Paolo , Audisio Paolo , Sabatelli Simone
Published: April 2020

Recent molecular and morphological data derived from members of the pollen-beetle subfamily Meligethinae suggest the need to separate the genus Sagittogethes Audisio and Cline, 2009, including species mostly distributed in Western Palaearctic areas, into two distinct (although related) genera, Sagittogethes and Teucriogethes gen. n. This new genus, comprising the Western European Meligethes obscurus Erichson, 1845 as its type species, includes less than ten species distributed between the Iberian Peninsula and North Africa westward, and China and Japan eastward. All inclusive species utilize members of the genus Teucrium L. (Lamiacaeae: Ajugoideae) as larval host-plants. Morphological and bionomical information, and molecular data clearly demonstrate the necessity for updating the taxonomic position of the two clades. Based on molecular evidence, the new genus represents the sister-group of Thymogethes Audisio and Cline, 2009, while the sister-group relationships of the remaining Sagittogethes taxa with other Lamiaceae-associated genera of Meligethinae remain uncertain. Within the new genus, the relictual and rare Western Mediterranean species T. minutus (C.N.F. Brisout de Barneville, 1863) seems to occupy an isolated position.

Recent epidemiological reports on Chinese population affected by novel coronavirus showed a wide spread of clinical and biochemical alterations, suggesting a relationship between progression of lung damage to acute respiratory distress syndrome and the systemic inflammatory response, triggering an irreversible multiple organ damage and disseminated intravascular coagulation. Bedside ultrasound assessment provides integrated information, describing a multisystemic and dynamic clinical scenario for every patient. Furthermore, this approach allows to concentrate multiple information in the hands of a single operator, also limiting the risk of exposure to infection for healthcare professionals. As per our experience, herewith reported, we described the characteristics of 10 patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Ultrasound findings were related to clinical information, blood test analysis, and results of instrumental tests, such as chest X-ray and chest CT. According to our ultrasound data, COVID-19 appears to be a systemic pathology even in those cases of mild to moderate disease. By this multisystem ultrasound approach, we could immediately recognize patients with a diffuse organ involvement and a more severe clinical pattern; moreover, we can protect healthcare workers and limit infection within health facilities.
Fundamentals of logic, reasoning, and argumentation: an evidence-supported curriculum targeting scientific literacy to increase public understanding and engagement in science
Authors: Carroll La Shun L.
Published: April 2020

The purpose of this article is to present an evidence-supported curriculum covering the fundamentals of logic, reasoning, and argumentation skills to address the emphasized basic knowledge, skills, and abilities required to be scientifically literate, which will prepare the public to understand and engage with science meaningfully.  An analytic-synthetic approach toward understanding the notion of public is taken using a theoretical biomimetics framework that identifies naturally occurring objects or phenomena that descriptively captures the essence of a construct to facilitate creative problem- solving.  In the present case, the problem being solved is how to reconcile what is meant by public, how it ought to be interpreted, determining the diverse levels of confidence in science that exist, and various understandings of science all with one another.  The results demonstrate there is an inherent denotative-connotative inconsistency in the traditional notion of public that can be explicated through the concept of a fractal allowing for comprehension of the relationship between public confidence in, and understanding of, science.

O instrumento mais utilizado foi o World Health Organization Quality of Life. Os docentes estavam, predominantemente, com uma percepção regular da qualidade de vida e avaliaram como regulares os domínios psicológico, físico e meio ambiente e como positivo o domínio relações sociais. Os pesquisadores atribuem o resultado, da percepção geral e dos domínios da qualidade de vida, às características do trabalho docente, à carga horária, à demanda de planejamento das aulas, ao ambiente escolar, à remuneração e aos benefícios.
Dilemas heteronormativos de feminilidade em exemplares da Revista Playboy onde posaram atletas
Authors: Zoboli Fabio , Dias Alfrancio Ferreira , Silva Renato Izidoro da
Published: April 2020

O texto tem como objetivo versar sobre os dilemas heteronormativos entre as identidades masculina e feminina vividos por quatorze mulheres atletas, que posaram nuas na Playboy entre os anos de 1988 e 2012, sustentando o argumento de que estes interpelam a heteronormatividade feminina a partir de tensões estéticas e políticas de gênero e sexualidade. Tratou-se de um estudo qualitativo que teve como campo empírico um produto midiático analisado sob o viés pós-estruturalista. Como resultado percebe-se que o discurso dessas revistas realiza o papel político de recolocar o corpo atlético feminino sob a égide da heteronormatividade feminina.

Published: April 2020

Abstract. Despite advances regarding the microbial and organic-molecular
impact on nucleation, the formation of dolomite in sedimentary environments
is still incompletely understood. Since 1960, apparent dolomite formation
has been reported from mud sediments of the shallow, oligohaline and
alkaline Lake Neusiedl, Austria. To trace potential dolomite formation or
diagenetic alteration processes in its deposits, lake water samples and
sediment cores were analyzed with respect to sediment composition,
hydrochemistry and bacterial community composition. Sediments comprise 20 cm
of homogenous mud with 60 wt % carbonate, which overlies dark-laminated
consolidated mud containing 50 wt % carbonate and plant debris.
Hydrochemical measurements reveal a shift from oxic lake water with pH 9.0
to anoxic sediment pore water with pH 7.5. A decrease in SO42-
with a concomitant increase in ΣH2S and NH4+ from
0 to 15 cm core depth indicates anaerobic heterotrophic decomposition,
including sulfate reduction. The bacterial community composition reflects
the zonation indicated by the pore water chemistry, with a distinct increase
in fermentative taxa below 15 cm core depth. The water column is highly supersaturated with respect to (disordered)
dolomite and calcite, whereas saturation indices of both minerals rapidly
approach zero in the sediment. Notably, the relative proportions of
different authigenic carbonate phases and their stoichiometric compositions
remain constant with increasing core depth. Hence, evidence for Ca–Mg
carbonate formation or ripening to dolomite is lacking within the sediment
of Lake Neusiedl. As a consequence, precipitation of high-magnesium calcite
(HMC) and protodolomite does not occur in association with anoxic sediment
and sulfate-reducing conditions. Instead, analytical data for Lake Neusiedl
suggest that authigenic HMC and protodolomite precipitate from the
supersaturated, well-mixed aerobic water column. This observation supports
an alternative concept to dolomite formation in anoxic sediments, comprising
Ca–Mg carbonate precipitation in the water column under aerobic and alkaline
conditions.

Abstract. Methane is the second most important greenhouse gas in terms of anthropogenic radiative forcing. Since pre-industrial times, the globally averaged dry mole fraction of methane in the atmosphere has increased considerably. Emissions from coal mining are one of the primary anthropogenic methane sources. However, our knowledge about different sources and sinks of methane is still subject to great uncertainties. Comprehensive measurement campaigns and reliable chemistry–climate models, are required to fully understand the global methane budget and to further develop future climate mitigation strategies. The CoMet 1.0 campaign (May to June 2018) combined airborne in situ, as well as passive and active remote sensing measurements to quantify the emissions from coal mining in the Upper Silesian Coal Basin (USCB, Poland). Roughly 502 kt of methane is emitted from the ventilation shafts per year. In order to help with the flight planning during the campaigns, we performed 6 d forecasts using the online coupled, three-time nested global and regional chemistry–climate model MECO(n). We applied three-nested COSMO/MESSy instances going down to a spatial resolution of 2.8 km over the USCB. The nested global–regional model system allows for the separation of local emission contributions from fluctuations in the background methane. Here, we introduce the forecast set-up and assess the impact of the model's spatial resolution on the simulation of methane plumes from the ventilation shafts. Uncertainties in simulated methane mixing ratios are estimated by comparing different airborne measurements to the simulations. Results show that MECO(3) is able to simulate the observed methane plumes and the large-scale patterns (including vertically integrated values) reasonably well. Furthermore, we obtain reasonable forecast results up to forecast day four.
Beyond Perrault's experiments: repeatability, didactics and complexity
Authors: Barontini Stefano , Settura Matteo
Published: April 2020

Abstract. The naturalistic and philosophical studies conducted in the second half of the 17th century were crucial both for the birth of modern hydrological science and modern epistemology.
Thanks to quantitative observations and to the new experiment-based scientific approach, the Sun was about to be fully recognized as the engine of the hydrological cycle.
In this context of great vitality and rapid cultural changes, Pierre Perrault published his classical opus De l'origine des fontaines (On the origin of springs) in 1674.
The opus presents a discussion on the origin of springs and contains the report of a set of experiments of water flow through a soil column, which may be considered the first of modern hydrology. In assessing the importance of Perrault's opus, we will discuss his epistemological relevance by looking at the novelty of his approach, at the repeatability of the experiments, at the intriguing didactic aspects for the modern teaching of hydrology and at his attitude in facing the complexity of hydrological processes. Perrault places himself in the context of a novel experimental epistemology.
On the basis of our analyses he seems to be aware that the processes involved in the hydrological cycle and in soil hydrology are hardly reproducible by means of a controlled laboratory model.
This circumstance put the modern scientific approach to a severe test at its very beginning.
It is suggested that some of Perrault's epistemological and methodological reflections are precursors of the modern epistemology of complexity.
Thus even if Perrault's conclusions followed an ancient opinion, his work is not only seminal for hydrology, but also helps to enlighten some features of the scientific revolution of the 17th century.
Direct flood risk assessment of the European road network: an object-based approach

Abstract. River floods pose a significant threat to road transport infrastructure in Europe. This study presents a high-resolution object-based continental-scale assessment of direct flood risk of the European road network for the present climate, using high-resolution exposure data from OpenStreetMap. A new set of road-specific damage functions is developed and validated for an observed flood event. We estimate the median annual expected direct damage from river floods to road infrastructure in Europe at 250 million euro per year. A comparison with grid-based approaches suggests that these methods likely overestimate direct flood damage to road infrastructure and might allocate infrastructural damage to the wrong land use classes. A first validation shows that our object-based method computes realistic damage estimates, paving the way for targeted risk adaptation strategies.
Description of the larvae of Cricotopus festivellus (Kieffer 1906) and Cricotopus diversus (Boesel 1983) with keys to discrimination of larval, pupal and adult stages (Diptera: Chironomidae)
Authors: Cuppen Hub , Gresens Susan E. , Tempelman David
Published: April 2020

The larva of two very similar Cricotopus species are described for the first time: Cricotopus diversus (Nearctic) and C. festivellus, new description (West Palaearctic). Confusion can arise depending on the source used for identification of Nearctic Cricotopus. The key of LeSage and Harrison (1980) treated adults and exuviae of C. diversus as variants of C. festivellus. Subsequently Boesel (1983) formally described C. diversus and included it in keys to adult Cricotopus of the eastern United States. Adults of these species have been distinguished by consistent differences in the pigmentation on the fourth and fifth abdominal tergites; we also confirmed differences in the structure of the male hypopygium. Keys to larvae, pupal exuviae and adult males are presented. Publicly available DNA barcode records document C. diversus populations in the Mid-Atlantic US and Ontario, Canada, whereas barcode records of C. festivellus were available only for Scandinavia, although this species is widely distributed in Western Europe. These two species are genetically distinct, with 13% mean difference in barcode sequence between species. Both species are reported from rivers and lakes of relatively good water quality.

The Abductive Presence of God: Experiments in Qualitative Methodology and Theological Inquiry for World Christianity
Authors: Law Easten
Published: April 2020

This article argues the concept of abduction can strengthen the links between qualitative research and theological inquiry in a theo-social methodology that seeks an understanding of God’s presence, character, and activity through empirically grounded inquiries of social life. It examines how different qualitative research methods can be utilized to study religious formation through a newly proposed framework that addresses dynamics of religiosity and religious identity. This framework relies on principles of abductive analysis, constant comparative method, and constructivist grounded theory, illustrated with a case study from the author’s research in contemporary China. Key elements of this framework are bridged with theological inquiry through principles of theological ethnography grounded in Christian conceptions of the incarnation, revelation, and the image and mission of God. In conclusion, important correlations between qualitative method, theology, and religious formation are highlighted with a challenge to expand theo-social study of lived theologies in World Christianity.
The Subversive Power of Ethnography: Lessons from Anthropology
Authors: Haynes Naomi
Published: April 2020

This article explores the theoretical and political potential of ethnographic research for World Christianity by focusing on the “subversive power” of this methodology. Through a discussion of four aspects of ethnographic research: the use of the term “informants,” a commitment to holism, the political power of participant-observation, and the “double location” of ethnographic practice, I argue that the primary objective of ethnography is to decenter a scholar’s view of the world, often by taken the position of those at society’s margins. The political potential of this move is clear, and World Christianity as a discipline is perhaps especially well positioned to make good on its possibilities, given its capacity to draw on social scientific and theological models in equal measure.
