Authors: Mende Christian Daniel , Dewi Yustina Erti Pravitasmara
Published: March 2021

The work from home phenomenon due to the pandemic triggers doubts on the governance of employee talent, including efforts to maintain its attachment or called employee engagement. Reduced direct interaction between employees or between leaders and employees leads to doubts on attachment to the organization, especially if it is associated with employees in Generation Y. Generation Y is expected to show the same employee engagement between working in the office or when doing its work from home. This research aims to test the relationship of talent management to employee engagement generation Y with work from home as a moderation variable. The sampling technique was accidental sampling of 201 Generation Y employees in Indonesia who practice work from home were involved as research samples. Data analysis techniques used analysis based on SEM (Structural Equation Model) with an evaluation of measurement and structural models for hypothesis testing. The results of this study indicate that talent management has a significant and positive effect on generation Y employee engagement and work from home has no significant and positive effect on the relationship between talent management and generation Y employee engagement.Fenomena work from home akibat pandemi mendorong terjadinya perubahan pada tata kelola karyawan, termasuk mempertahankan keterikatannya atau disebut dengan employee engagement.

Intellectual Capital and Firm Performance of Listed Firms in Nigeria: Moderating Role of Corporate Governance
Authors: Adegbayibi Adesanmi Timothy
Published: March 2021

The low performance of Nigerian firms despite investment in intellectual capital is a major concern. While studies have shown that corporate governance practices strengthens the subsisting relationship between investment in intellectual capital and performance in the  developed economies, this moderating effect in Nigeria is yet to be adequately explored as research focus is limited to possible effects of intellectual capital and performance. It is against this background, this study investigated the moderating role of corporate governance on the relationship between intellectual capital and performance of listed non-financial companies in Nigeria. The study adopted ex-post facto research design, and data were drawn from the audited annual reports of fifty (50) listed non-financial firms for a period of 2007 to 2017. Multiple regression techniques were employed to test the relationship among the variables. The results of the study revealed that both intellectual capital and corporate governance drive financial performance as the relationship is found significant in all components. The study concluded that corporate governance moderated the effect of investment in intellectual capital on financial performance. The study recommends that Board of directors should adopt measurable corporate governance mechanism which strengthens and helps in investment strategy that increases and improves performance. Also, there is need to entrench corporate governance as a control strategy and impetus towards attaining organization’s goals.

Authors: SHIFERAW Eleni
Published: March 2021

Gliadins from 25 accessions represented by 350 individual seed samples were analysed by acid-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (A-PAGE) with the objective of identifying gliadin band patterns and examine the extent of diversity in Triticum polonicum L. collections from Ethiopia. Seventy polymorphic bands and 68 different patterns were identified. Eighteen different mobility bands and 16 patterns were identified in ω-gliadin region, 22 bands and 20 patterns in γ-gliadin region, 12 bands and 22 patterns in β-gliadin region and 18 bands and 10 patterns in α-gliadin region. The average genetic diversity calculated from the data of the four gliadin zones of the analysed samples was 0.15. The γ region have the highest diversity (H = 0.193), followed by ω regions (H = 0.177) and β region (H = 0.168) and the lowest diversity was observed in α region (H = 0.127). Cluster analysis based on genetic distances resulted in grouping of the analysed accessions in to seven main groups. Though the level of diversity was relatively lower than other tetraploid wheat species from Ethiopia, the findings are indicative of the existence of variation in the collections which can be exploited for wheat improvement.
Investigation on ultrasonic assisted friction stir welding of aluminum/steel dissimilar alloys
Authors: Hong Kairong , Wang Yong , Zhou Jianjun , Zhou Canfeng , Wang Luming
Published: March 2021

The extensive use of light metal material such as aluminum has brought about problems in its joining with steel. However, the weak metallurgical bonding between the dissimilar materials and the formation of hard and brittle intermetallic compounds (IMCs) lead to unsatisfactory joint strength. Aiming at achieving high-quality joining of aluminum and steel, 6061-T6 aluminum and 301L steel alloys were lap joined by ultrasonic assisted friction stir lap welding (UaFSLW) in this study. The UaFSLW joints were well formed with uniform flashes and even arc lines. The strong plastic flow of the aluminum material driven by the dual effects of mechanical stirring and ultrasonic vibration inhibited the excessive growth of the Al–Fe IMCs at the lap interface. Thanks to the enhanced metallurgical bonding and the effective control of the layer thickness of IMCs, the tensile load of the UaFSLW joint under 1,800 rpm reached 16.5 kN, which was an increase of 27.9% compared to that of the conventional FSLW joint.

In this paper, we consider the existence of a solution u(x, t) for the inverse backward problem for the nonlinear strongly damped wave equation with statistics discrete data. The problem is severely ill-posed in the sense of Hadamard, i.e., the solution does not depend continuously on the data. In order to regularize the unstable solution, we use the trigonometric method in non-parametric regression associated with the truncated expansion method. We investigate the convergence rate under some a priori assumptions on an exact solution in both L

Published: March 2021

Objectives

Uterine fibroids are benign tumors that develop in many women of reproductive age. Surgery is the main approach to treatment while other options are also associated with adverse effects. Studies have shown that certain bioactive agents present in medicinal plants elicit their anti-tumor activity by induction of mitochondrial permeability transition (mPT) opening. This research therefore aimed at investigating the effect of methanol extract of Annona muricata (MEAM) on mPT pore opening in normal and monosodium glutamate-induced uterine hyperplasia using female Wistar rats.

Methods

Mitochondria, isolated from rat liver were exposed to different concentrations (20, 60, 100, 140 and 180 μg/mL) of MEAM. The mPT pore opening, cytochrome c release, mitochondrial ATPase (mATPase) activity and the percentage lipid peroxidation were assessed spectrophotometrically. Histological effects of MEAM on the liver, brain and uterus of normal and MSG-treated rats were investigated.

Results

The in vitro results showed a significant induction of mPT pore opening by 2.4, 4.2 and 6.4 folds, release of cytochrome c and enhancement of mATPase activity at 100,140 and 180 μg/mL, respectively. However, oral administration of MEAM did not induce mPT pore opening, neither any significant release of cytochrome c nor enhancement of mATPase activity at all the dosages used. However, histological assay revealed the presence of MSG-induced cellular damage and uterine hyperplasia which was ameliorated by MEAM co-administration.

Conclusions

These findings suggest that MEAM contains phytochemicals that can ameliorate MSG-induced damage and uterine hyperplasia in rats; however, the mechanism might not be via upregulation of mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis.

Objectives

Herbal medicines, as a treatment method, have received a great deal of attention. The effects of two herbal medicines namely Zingiber officinale and Echinacea on alleviation of clinical symptoms and hospitalization rate of suspected COVID-19 outpatients were examined.

Methods

A clinical trial with 100 suspected COVID-19 outpatients as participants was conducted. The participants were allocated randomly to two groups of 50 members. The intervention group received concurrent Zingiber officinale (Tablet Vomigone 500 mg II tds) and Echinacea (Tablet Rucoldup I tds) for seven days in addition to the standard treatment. The control group only received the standard treatment (Hydroxychloroquine). After seven days, alleviation of clinical symptoms and hospitalization rate were examined. In addition, 14 days after treatment, the hospitalization was assessed again by telephone follow up.

Results

The two groups were identical in terms of basic characteristics. Improvement level as to coughing, dyspnea, and muscle pain was higher in the intervention group (p value <0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of the other symptoms. In addition, the hospitalization rate in the intervention and control groups were 2 and 6% respectively, which are not significantly different (p value >0.05).

Conclusions

Taking into account the efficiency and trivial side-effects of Zingiber officinale and Echinacea, using them for alleviation and control of the clinical symptoms in COVID-19 outpatients is recommended.

Published: March 2021

Mammalian orienting behavior consists of coordinated movements of the eyes, head, pinnae, vibrissae, or body to attend to an external stimulus. The present study aimed to develop a novel operant task using a touch-screen system to measure spatial attention. In this task, rats were trained to nose-poke a light stimulus presented in one of three locations. The stimulus was presented more frequently in the center location to develop spatial attention bias toward the center stimulus. Changes in orienting responses were detected by measuring the animals’ response accuracy and latency to stimuli at the lateral locations, following reversible unilateral chemogenetic inactivation of the superior colliculus (SC). Additionally, spontaneous turning and rotation behavior was measured using an open-field test (OFT). Our results show that right SC inactivation significantly increased the whole body turn angle in the OFT, in line with previous literature that indicated an ipsiversive orientating bias and the presence of contralateral neglect following unilateral SC lesions. In the touch screen orienting task, unilateral SC inactivation significantly increased bias toward the ipsilateral side, as measured by response frequency in various experimental conditions, and a very large left-shift of a respective psychometric function. Our results demonstrate that this novel touchscreen task is able to detect changes in spatial attention and orienting responses because of e.g. experimental manipulations or injury with very high sensitivity, while taking advantage of the touch screen technology that allows for high transferability of the task between labs and for open-source data sharing throughhttps://www.mousebytes.ca.
The Ubiquitinated Axon: Local Control of Axon Development and Function by Ubiquitin
Authors: Pinto Maria J. , Tomé Diogo , Almeida Ramiro D.
Published: March 2021

Ubiquitin tagging sets protein fate. With a wide range of possible patterns and reversibility, ubiquitination can assume many shapes to meet specific demands of a particular cell across time and space. In neurons, unique cells with functionally distinct axons and dendrites harboring dynamic synapses, the ubiquitin code is exploited at the height of its power. Indeed, wide expression of ubiquitination and proteasome machinery at synapses, a diverse brain ubiquitome, and the existence of ubiquitin-related neurodevelopmental diseases support a fundamental role of ubiquitin signaling in the developing and mature brain. While special attention has been given to dendritic ubiquitin-dependent control, how axonal biology is governed by this small but versatile molecule has been considerably less discussed. Herein, we set out to explore the ubiquitin-mediated spatiotemporal control of an axon's lifetime: from its differentiation and growth through presynaptic formation, function, and pruning.

Studying carbon dioxide in the ocean helps to understand how the ocean will be impacted by climate change and respond to increasing fossil fuel emissions. The marine carbonate system is not well characterized in the Arctic, where challenging logistics and extreme conditions limit observations of atmospheric CO2 flux and ocean acidification. Here, we present a high-resolution marine carbon system data set covering the complete cycle of sea-ice growth and melt in an Arctic estuary (Nunavut, Canada). This data set was collected through three consecutive yearlong deployments of sensors for pH and partial pressure of CO2 in seawater (pCO2sw) on a cabled underwater observatory. The sensors were remarkably stable compared to discrete samples: While corrections for offsets were required in some instances, we did not observe significant drift over the deployment periods. Our observations revealed a strong seasonality in this marine carbon system. Prior to sea-ice formation, air–sea gas exchange and respiration were the dominant processes, leading to increasing pCO2sw and reduced aragonite saturation state (ΩAr). During sea-ice growth, water column respiration and brine rejection (possibly enriched in dissolved inorganic carbon, relative to alkalinity, due to ikaite precipitation in sea ice) drove pCO2sw to supersaturation and lowered ΩAr to < 1. Shortly after polar sunrise, the ecosystem became net autotrophic, returning pCO2sw to undersaturation. The biological community responsible for this early switch to autotrophy (well before ice algae or phytoplankton blooms) requires further investigation. After sea-ice melt initiated, an under-ice phytoplankton bloom strongly reduced aqueous carbon (chlorophyll-a max of 2.4 µg L–1), returning ΩAr to > 1 after 4.5 months of undersaturation. Based on simple extrapolations of anthropogenic carbon inventories, we suspect that this seasonal undersaturation would not have occurred naturally. At ice breakup, the sensor platform recorded low pCO2sw (230 µatm), suggesting a strong CO2 sink during the open water season.
SOCIENTIZE participatory experiments, dissemination and networking activities in perspective
Authors: Silva Cândida
Published: March 2021

Citizen science includes a wide range of activities in which citizens are involved in research projects, either by collecting or analyzing massive data sets, or by developing small-scale activities, such as grassroots groups taking part in local policy debates. In parallel, the concept of digital society is emerging and triggering a social and information revolution. Here, large scientific infrastructures and high performance communication technologies have resulted in e-science and allow addressing problems that were unsolvable until a few decades ago. Similarly, the millions of people around the world that are permanently interconnected can be considered as a citizen-based infrastructure (c-infrastructure) which can be used for distributed computing, collective talent or ubiquitous data gathering. As a result, we have a complex entity with intelligence and collective knowledge.Funded by the European Commission, SOCIENTIZE is a FP7 project, which aims to set the basis of citizen science in Europe for Horizon2020. For the last two years, SOCIENTIZE has been promoting Citizen Science in order to 1) raise awareness about the importance and impact of citizen science, 2) to foster interaction and coordination between all citizen-science actors, 3) to promote the capabilities of c-infrastructures among researchers and citizens for an enhanced science, 4) to coordinate and promote citizen science projects and finally (5) to collect and share the best practices and recommendations for the implementation of citizen science projects in Europe. To achieve these goals, SOCIENTIZE has developed and implemented several activities that are described in this paper.
Exploring the effects of non-monetary reimbursement for participants in HCI research

Published: March 2021

When running experiments within the field of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) it is common practice to ask participants to come to a specified lab location, and reimburse them monetarily for their time and travel costs. This, however, is not the only means by which to encourage participation in scientific study. Citizen science projects, which encourage the public to become involved in scientific research, have had great success in getting people to act as sensors to collect data or to volunteer their idling computer or brain power to classify large data sets across a broad range of fields including biology, cosmology and physical and environmental science. This is often done without the expectation of payment. Additionally, data collection need not be done on behalf of an external researcher; the Quantified Self (QS) movement allows people to reflect on data they have collected about themselves. This too, then, is a form of non-reimbursed data collection. Here we investigate whether citizen HCI scientists and those interested in personal data produce reliable results compared to participants in more traditional lab-based studies. Through six studies, we explore how participation rates and data quality are affected by recruiting participants without monetary reimbursement: either by providing participants with data about themselves as reward (a QS approach), or by simply requesting help with no extrinsic reward (as in citizen science projects). We show that people are indeed willing to take part in online HCI research in the absence of extrinsic monetary reward, and that the data generated by participants who take part for selfless reasons, rather than for monetary reward, can be as high quality as data gathered in the lab and in addition may be of higher quality than data generated by participants given monetary reimbursement online. This suggests that large HCI experiments could be run online in the future, without having to incur the equally large reimbursement costs alongside the possibility of running experiments in environments outside of the lab.
Discussion on the Role of “Head Teacher” in China’s Basic Education

Published: March 2021

From the perspective of the development of education, the initial reason for the emergence of schools is to enable students to master specific knowledge and skills required by society. In this process, it is inevitable to undertake the task of cultivating students’ ideology and morality. Before the 18th century, due to the relatively low level of social development and education, the two functions of “teaching” and “educating” were often intertwined in the education process.

Giving a Voice to the Little Ones: The Bioarchaeology of Children in the Baltics
Authors: Morrone Alessandra
Published: March 2021

The skeletal remains of non-adults provide endless insights into numerous aspects of their personal, family and social lives. Although they were considered to be marginal members of society, children can potentially shed light on factors influencing the overall health and survival of their communities, sensitively conveying the ability of a population to adapt to its environment and cope with moments of crisis. In the last decade, worldwide interest in the archaeology of children has grown, and has driven the bioarchaeological investigation of their skeletal remains. However, the bioarchaeological study of non-adults has received surprisingly little interest in the Baltic states. This review presents the past and current state of the art with specific focus on the Baltic area from prehistory to historic times, outlining new research fields and the benefits of studying non-adult skeletal remains, and proposing specific possible directions for future work on this topic. The paper is aimed at giving a louder voice to the youngest actors of ancient communities, and perhaps offers a starting point for developing a definitive bioarchaeology of children in the Baltics.

Published: March 2021

This article briefly presents the history of the human osteological collection stored at the Faculty of Medicine of Vilnius University. The birth of such collection can be traced back to the mid-19th century (1855) with the establishment of the Museum of Antiquities. Until the mid-20th century, human skeletal remains were gathered sporadically and selectively, by collecting either skulls or long bones. Since the late 20th century, the policy of selection has changed and nowadays the collection consists of systematically assembled anthropological material of scientific value. The assemblage currently comprises more than 9.000 skeletal remains dating back from the Mesolithic to the Late Modern Era.

AbstractThis study aims at examining the law and impact of corrupt politician behavior on public trust in political parties and the efforts of reforms by the parties. Using the survey method, this study has come to the following conclusions. (1) the corruption committed by politicians mostly occurs due to the work pattern and the Indonesian political system which develops towards political apathy, in which regeneration does not optimally take place, while the drive to maintain power and dominate the political parties in the state system is increasing; (2) the corruption does not only influence the public trust in political parties, but also the perspective and paradigm of society towards the political system and government in Indonesia. (3) The impact of this political apathy, which we might be able to see from how the radicalism and extremism easily exist and develop in Indonesia. An encouragement to even create a new system is present from this political apathy. If this is not immediately corrected, a change in the system in Indonesia can probably occur.Keywords: Law, Corruption, politicians, Political Parties, Community Trust.

Resumo: O presente estudo tem o objetivo de caracterizar a população idosa brasileira durante a pandemia de COVID-19, considerando suas condições de saúde, socioeconômicas, desigualdade de sexo, adesão ao distanciamento social e sentimento de tristeza ou depressão. Estudo transversal realizado com idosos brasileiros que participaram de um inquérito de saúde (N = 9.173), com método de amostragem “bola de neve virtual”. Os dados foram coletados via web, por meio de questionário autopreenchido. Foram estimadas prevalências, intervalos de confiança e, para verificar a independência das estimativas, utilizou-se o teste qui-quadrado de Pearson. Durante a pandemia, houve diminuição da renda em quase metade dos domicílios dos idosos. O distanciamento social total foi adotado por 30,9% (IC95%: 27,8; 34,1) e 12,2% (IC95%: 10,1; 14,7) não aderiram. Idosos que não trabalhavam antes da pandemia aderiram em maior número às medidas de distanciamento social total. Grande parte apresentou comorbidades associadas ao maior risco de desenvolvimento da forma grave de COVID-19. Sentimentos de solidão, ansiedade e tristeza foram frequentes entre os idosos, especialmente entre as mulheres. A pandemia da COVID-19 aprofundou a desigualdade ao afetar os idosos mais vulneráveis. Estratégias para mitigar a solidão e o distanciamento social devem ser feitas levando-se em conta a vulnerabilidade social e a acentuada diferença entre homens e mulheres quanto à composição domiciliar e às condições socioeconômicas e de trabalho. Recomenda-se o desenvolvimento de pesquisas representativas da população idosa brasileira e que investiguem o impacto da pandemia neste grupo.

Published: March 2021

Abstract: Society is currently experiencing scientific, technical and social progress, requiring constant renewal with higher quality dedicated to higher education. Distance education (EAD) allows the raise of new learning forms. EAD uses new technologies and the internet to raise the population education level, creating a higher professional qualification and providing training for specialists in several areas of knowledge. Despite the existing facilities and technologies, EAD has evasion rates that are around twenty-five percent. The question that raises from this data is; what are the critical factors associated to pedagogical management that led to this high evasion rate? The objective of the research was to determine the critical factors of pedagogical management, which have an impact on the evasion in undergraduate courses in the EAD. The research place was a higher education center in the north of Santa Catarina state. The identification of the critical factors and main variables that can cause evasion makes use of a method developed for this analysis, with data confronted with the literature, considering the main authors dealing with this topic. The tool chosen for the results analysis was the statistical correlation. Among the critical factors related to pedagogical management, it is possible to mention the adaptation to distance education, and support and feedback as fundamental questions to reduce evasion.

Authors: Vieira Maico Carlos
Published: March 2021

abstract: The object’s surface has a great influence on the sensorial perception of the users, transmitting symbols and characteristics that can be interpreted by the users in a cognitive way. Design can attribute sensorial characteristics to the object’s surface, however, few studies exist about how the users perceive the object’s surface. This study aims to investigate the user's tactile perception, aiming at understanding the most relevant and attractive physical and aesthetic characteristics of the ceramic tile product through the eye tracking tool. The covering ceramic has a versatile characteristic that says respect textures, forms and finishes, being very useful in research regarding the users’ tactile perceptions. This work is characterized as a case study, we conducted a study on 5 (five) individuals (professionals in architecture), in a show room of a company well regarded in the area of ceramic tile. The results obtained by this study can help surface designers, to understand the users’ perceptions, so that they can have valid instruments in the understanding of the concepts related to perception, for the development of new products.

Prefeitos e a Construção do Apoio Legislativo nos Municípios
Authors: Vasquez Vitor , Curi Henrique , Silva Bruno Souza da
Published: March 2021

RESUMO Embora o prefeito detenha o cargo eletivo mais importante nos municípios brasileiros, sua função demanda apoio legislativo para implementar sua agenda. Neste artigo, analisamos alguns recursos que as candidaturas dos prefeitos eleitos mobilizam para obter o maior potencial de apoio legislativo possível. Partimos de duas possibilidades: ou o candidato eleito transfere sua popularidade aos seus apoiadores na disputa proporcional; ou se coliga com vários partidos. A primeira opção sustenta-se no efeito coattail; a segunda, nos seguintes aspectos institucionais: fragmentação no Legislativo e concentração de candidatos no Executivo. Amparados por dados municipais de coligação eleitoral, investigamos cinco eleições (2000-2016). Nossos resultados sugerem que tanto a popularidade transferida pelo prefeito eleito, quanto o número de partidos na coligação majoritária impactam positivamente no potencial de apoio legislativo.

The System of Developing the Primary Market of Residential Real Estate in Terms of Project Financing
Authors: Pukhova Valeriya
Published: March 2021

Analysis of the current situation in the primary market of residential real estate within the framework of the transition to new conditions for financing residential construction showed the need for the development of the primary residential real estate market. Based on the systematization of well-known information and the author's recommendations, the article proposes and substantiates a project financing mechanism using escrow accounts within the framework of the primary market development system in the new conditions of housing finance, all the components of the proposed mechanism are described in detail. The tools (administrative, economic), methods (variability in terms of the use of equity capital by the developer and replenishing escrow accounts in accordance with the stage of the project life cycle), forms of regulation (legislative, administrative-institutional, socio-economic), principles for the implementation of project financing (customization, completeness, algorithmization) for a comfortable transition to new financing conditions for all the subjects of the residential real estate market are specified. The proposed system for the development of the primary market will make the transition to new financing conditions more comfortable for all market entities: citizens, developers, banks and the state, which ultimately will lead to the achievement of the main goal: increasing the efficiency of the housing construction sector in the Russian Federation.
Electricity Theft in South Africa: Examining the Need to Clarify the Offence and Pursue Private Prosecution?
Authors: Jamil Ddamulira Mujuzi
Published: March 2021

Electricity theft is one of the challenges with which South African government-owned power-distribution company Eskom is grappling. Eskom has lost billions of rands in annual revenue owing to electricity theft. Different strategies are in place to combat electricity theft. However, in South Africa, electricity theft is not a statutory offence. This contrasts with the approach adopted in countries such as China, Canada, India, Australia and New Zealand, where legislation provides for such an offence. Although electricity theft is not a statutory offence, prosecutors would like electricity thieves to be punished. In this context, there are conflicting High Court decisions on whether electricity theft is a common-law offence or indeed an offence at all. The purposes of this article are: to highlight the problem of electricity theft in South Africa and the conflicting jurisprudence from the High Court on whether electricity theft is an offence; to recommend that Parliament amend legislation to criminalise electricity theft specifically; and also to empower Eskom to institute prosecutions against those who are alleged to have stolen electricity.
Developing a Strategy For Efficient Environmental Authorisation of Activities Affecting Wetlands in South Africa: Towards a Wise-Use Approach
Authors: Bramley Jemain Lemine
Published: March 2021

South Africa is a party to the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance especially as Waterfowl Habitat of 1971 (also referred to as the Ramsar Convention). Article 3(1) of the Ramsar Convention makes provision for the wise use of wetlands, which is defined as the “maintenance of the ecological character, achieved through the implementation of ecosystem approaches, within the context of sustainable development”. The Conference of the Parties has agreed on inherent weaknesses that could lead to the hampering of wise use. These weaknesses include, but are not limited to, authorities working in isolation; and the lack of communication between public and private sectors or technical personnel (environmental impact assessment specialists). Within the enabling provisions of South Africa’s EIA regulations, reference is made to “water source”, “water resource”, “wetland” and “ecosystem”. All these terms are read to include a wetland. However, whereas the terms “water source”, “water resource” and “wetland” are defined in the National Water Act 36 of 1998 (NWA), an “ecosystem” is defined in the National Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act 10 of 2004 (NEMBA), and “water source” is defined in the Conservation of Agricultural Resources Act 43 of 1983 (CARA). Furthermore, the administration of the NWA is with the Department of Water and Sanitation, while NEMBA is with the Department of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries, and CARA is with the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development. This multiplicity, combined with the application of the various specific environmental management acts (SEMAs), complicates the manner in which an EIA application is considered. This is so in that the national environmental framework casts the net wide in identifying the competent authority, but also in its effect on wise use decision making on activities pertaining to wetlands. In light of the aforementioned, this article aims to address the shortfalls and make recommendations that promote wise use.

Imágenes urbanas en el entorno de la Estación de la Sabana de Bogotá, Colombia
Authors: Novoa Peñaloza Johanna Marcela
Published: March 2021

El presente artículo es producto de una investigación adelantada en las inmediaciones de la Estación de la Sabana de Bogotá, Colombia, en el marco de la Maestría en Estudios Sociales de la Universidad Pedagógica Nacional. El objetivo es analizar las imágenes urbanas construidas por los habitantes del sector donde se localiza la estación, patrimonio de la ciudad de Bogotá y actualmente afectada por un plan de renovación. A partir de una metodología cualitativa – interpretativa se apuesta por una actitud etnográfica como estrategia de observación, sin ser necesariamente participante, del espacio vivido por los sujetos. Las percepciones se captaron a partir de cuestionarios, entrevistas semiestructuradas y mapas mentales desarrollados por los participantes. Así, la interpretación de los instrumentos reflejó la construcción de imágenes urbanas que, al conjugar la percepción, la vivencia y la concepción del espacio, conformaron lo que se denomina caleidoscopio espacial.

The “Analytic” Line of the Modern Stoicism: L. Backer, W. Irvine, M. Pigliucci
Authors: Pavlov Alexey
Published: March 2021

This article is dedicated to the “analytic” line in the philosophy of modern stoicism. Modern stoicism is developed as the philosophy of life but in this relation, it is understood as not the collection of speculations around such concepts as “life”, “human” and so on but rather as the philosophy about well living. It indicates that the goal of modern stoicism is integrating the eudemonic stance in the analytic normative ethics in which this movement was raised. Modern stoics explains the applicability of stoic ethics for 21st-century people in the way that their view on the world as they think is similar to such of Hellenistic people in many respects. On the theoretical level, modern stoicism is the attempt of application of ethics of late Stoa to the contemporary naturalistic worldview constituting around the data of natural science. This task is realized by representing the ethics of Rome stoicism as a collection of certain psychological practices. By means of it, it turns out possible to represent stoic ethics as some kind of the “framework” of behavior that is potentially compatible with various worldviews. But in this advantage of modern stoicism there is its main trouble also. Cleared out from metaphysics and based on certain obvious practical premises, this framework of sensible staid behavior tells us nothing about the world and hence couldn't be used as the full-blown worldview. However, the very raising of this movement indicates the need to explicitly formulating the problem of worldview within the analytic philosophy.
