Published: March 2022

The colors of the woods or their tonalities are infinite, no two trees are the same, we cannot ignore that there are thousands of species in different areas and in different climates with very different characteristics. With the color catalog for wood identification, sought to develop an academic method for wood color identification from a color code. To achieve this objective, 50 samples of wood available at the Wood Technology Laboratory (LTM) of the Faculty of Forest Engineering of the Universidad del Tolima, were duly identified and brushed to bring out the natural color of the wood. A photographic collection was obtained from the woods in the dry and wet state and with the help of software (Adobe Photoshop professional CC) colors were obtained in LAB and RGB notation systems, with a sample of 30 colors distributed randomly throughout the picture. Counteracting information through the use of a portable digital colorimeter with the that the color of each of the samples was measured in both states. As a result, it was obtained a color catalog for 50 species of Colombian woods, in wet and dry state, in which a color palette was added for the description of the color of species not included still in the catalog. This tool has been used in Universidad del Tolima Wood Anatomy lessons in the last year as a verification process of its use, and the initial results are quite encouraging, in the sense that the students have expressed easier handling and easier to understand than the previous tool. Now the challenge is to increase commercial species and seek to reach surveillance and control agencies environment with a view to positively impacting their training and the possibility of improving their work tools and contributing to the reduction of wood illegal trafficking in Colombia.

Authors:   URRED, Higher Institute of Management, University of Gabès, Tunisia, Riahi Rabeb
Published: March 2022

To improve the information quality and defend investors’ interests, the current challenge is no longer only to set up an audit committee, but also to ensure its independence. Nevertheless, this independence is not always guaranteed and it depends on several factors. The study aims to identify the determinants of the audit committee independence. We identify factors linked to the manager attributes and factors linked to the firm characteristics. The empirical study is drawn on a sample of Canadian firms over a period of five years. The results show that the independence of the audit committee is negatively related to the size of the board of directors and to the presence of the manager within the remuneration committee. Furthermore, independence of the audit committee seems to be positively linked to the independence of the board of directors and the existence of intangible assets.

The suggested Convolutional Neural Networks to improve the,image standard in handheld devices ,leading to high visuals. Through histogram equalization, the median filter is used to reduce undesired disturbance and to keep the details while maintaining a high dynamic range. To change the vibrant value's histogram, the graph balancing method is applied.. It spreads out the most frequent pixel intensity values or stretches out the image's intensity range to improve the image contrast. Contrary to what its name suggests, unsharp masking is used to sharpen an image. Sharpening is important when post-processing most digital photos since it helps to emphasis detail.To accomplish higher resolution, a Convolutional Neural Network is often used. CNN was created primarily to handle pixel data. It's a hierarchical model that builds a network, similar to a funnel, and then outputs a fully-connected layer in which all of the neurons are coupled and the outcome is analyzed. By employing CNN, it can provide more accurate training with high accuracy and produce a high-quality reconstruction image with fine details, structure, and speckle.

Published: March 2022

No texto são tratados desafios históricos e contemporâneos relacionados à alfabetização. Na dimensão histórica, são problematizados alguns fatores extraescolares que explicam a difusão da alfabetização nos países ocidentais e alguns elementos que permitem considerar a relação entre alfabetização e sociedade, no Brasil. Na dimensão contemporânea, discutem-se a permanência de desafios históricos para alfabetizar, a necessidade de pensar a alfabetização em contextos culturais e históricos que envolvem tecnologias disponíveis em cada tempo, assim como alguns desafios da cultura escrita digital para a compreensão de mudanças e permanências na cultura escrita. Integram esses desafios o uso dos suportes, a disseminação de outros sistemas semióticos e a necessidade de estratégias para trazer, para o repertório dos alfabetizandos, a cultura manuscrita e a cultura impressa herdadas, bem como a cultura escrita digital.
TEMPO DE APRENDER
Authors: Nogueira Gabriela Medeiros , Lapuente Janaina Soares Martins
Published: March 2022

Este artigo apresenta resultados de uma pesquisa qualitativa sobre o curso de formação continuada de professores “Tempo de Aprender”, promovido pelo MEC em 2020. Reflete-se sobre a perspectiva de alfabetização e os procedimentos indicados para o ensino da leitura e da escrita, a partir dos vídeos dos módulos dois e três do curso, dos textos explicativos e dos materiais disponibilizados para download. Os dados indicam uma concepção restrita de alfabetização, centrada no método fônico, na audição, na repetição e na memorização de grafemas e fonemas. A proposta de formação de professores configura-se como reducionista, acrítica e homogeneizadora, prestando assim, um desserviço à alfabetização, uma vez que apaga o arcabouço teórico e as práticas alfabetizadoras plurais das escolas brasileiras.

O presente texto propõe ao leitor debruçar-se sobre uma prática pedagógica no contexto da alfabetização desenvolvida através de plataforma digital, tendo em vista os processos de isolamento social em decorrência das questões sanitárias implicadas pela pandemia de Covid-19. O trabalho em questão que ocorre a partir de materiais de apoio e aulas síncronas na plataforma Moodle centrase numa perspectiva discursiva de linguagem. O texto se desenvolve transpassando questões de encaminhamento pedagógico, relação família e escola, um breve relato de uma intervenção literária também desenvolvida através do uso da mesma plataforma e análise acerca de uma experiência de reescrita de texto. É preciso ressaltar que parte do bom desenvolvimento do trabalho pautado nas abordagens bakhtinianas de linguagem com vista às conquistas na apropriação, autoria e empoderamento da linguagem das crianças envolvidas no processo, se deve, também, à estrutura (empréstimo de computador e rede de internet imprescindíveis para os processos de escolarização em contexto de isolamento social) oferecida, pela escola onde a prática acontece, às famílias que não contavam com esta estrutura tendo em vista fatores sociais e econômicos.
An Empirical Note on the Effect of Poverty on Economic Complexity
Authors:   World Trade Organization, GNANGNON Sèna Kimm
Published: March 2022

This empirical note aims to complement the works by Gnangnon (2019) on the effect of poverty on export product diversification in developing countries, and Gnangnon (2021) on the effect of economic complexity on poverty in developing countries. It investigates the latter issue the other way around. In other words, it uses a panel dataset of 135 countries over the period of 1998-2019, and the two-step system Generalized Method of Moments estimator to explore the effect of poverty on economic complexity, which is a strong predictor of economic growth and development. The analysis has revealed that higher poverty levels influence negatively economic complexity, and advanced countries tend to bear a higher negative effect of poverty on economic complexity than relatively less advanced economies. These findings underline the need for fostering efforts at both national and international levels to fight poverty. Through a variety of channels, pro-poor policies would ultimately contribute to greater economic complexity, and consequently promote economic growth and development.

REGLAMENTOS GUBERNATIVOS Y NORMAS MUNICIPALES
Authors: VELASCO CABALLERO FRANCISCO
Published: March 2022

De la garantía constitucional de autonomía local deriva el poder de dictar normas por las entidades locales. Esas normas están sometidas jerárquicamente a la ley, estatal o autonómica. Pero la Constitución no determina la posición institucional de las normas locales respecto de los reglamentos gubernativos, del Estado o de cada Comunidad Autónoma. Es la ley, caso a caso, quien determina la posición de las normas locales en cada materia. De acuerdo con el Derecho positivo y la jurisprudencia, la articulación de normas locales y reglamentos gubernativos puede ser mediante criterios de jerarquía (superioridad del reglamento), competencia (asignación de un ámbito específico de regulación a cada tipo de norma infralegal) o simple primacía aplicativa (preferencia aplicativa del reglamento o norma local, en caso de concurrencia). A falta de una regulación legal expresa se puede considerar que el art. 4.1 a) LBRL ha optado por la primacía aplicativa de la norma local.

The constitutional guarantee of autonomy in local government legislation includes the passing of rules and byelaws by the local authorities. These rules are hierarchically submitted to parliamentary Acts of the State or Autonomous Communities. Yet the Constitution does not establish, in general terms, the institutional position of these rules with regard to State or regional delegated legislation. Parliamentary Acts, case by case, determine them.
Different criteria can be used in the articulation of State or regional delegated rules, on the one hand and local council byelaws on the other: Hierarchy superiority of State or regional delegated rules, competence (allocation of a specific area or regulation to each type of rule) or the simple application of primacy (preference in the application of a local byelaw in the case of concurrence). In the absence of explicit parliamentary criteria, article 4.1 of the LBRL has opted for the primary application of the local rule.

Aunque la Comunidad Autónoma Vasca es la cuna de la mediación familiar en el Estado español, territorio en el que ya a finales de la década de los ochenta del siglo pasado existía un Servicio de Mediación a la Familia en Conflicto en Donostia-San Sebastián, no ha contado hasta poco con una ley que regulara la materia. Por fin, el febrero pasado el parlamento vasco promulgó la Ley 1/2008, de 8 de febrero de Mediación Familiar. Este artículo pretende analizar esta Ley y el régimen jurídico que establece en general, y en particular la conceptuación de mediación familiar que mantiene y la ordenación que de la persona encargada de la mediación familiar y del procedimiento de mediación familiar realiza.

Working With Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Clients: Occupational Therapy Practitioners’ Knowledge, Skills, and Attitudes
Authors: Bolding Deborah J. , Acosta Angela , Butler Brigitte , Chau April , Craig Brenna , Dunbar Fiona
Published: March 2022

Importance: A lack of health care provider knowledge and training has been identified as one factor that contributes to health disparities for sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations.

Objective: To explore occupational therapy practitioners’ self-reported knowledge about, clinical preparedness for, and attitudes toward working with lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) clients.

Design: Online survey of occupational therapy practitioners.

Participants and Setting: Respondents were recruited by means of snowball sampling through social media groups, state occupational therapy association websites, and emails. Surveys were posted to electronic occupational therapy social media sites.

Measures: Knowledge, clinical preparedness, and attitudes were measured using the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Development of Clinical Skills Scale (LGBT–DOCSS). Information about demographic characteristics, education, and workplace was also collected.

Results: Five hundred eighty-nine occupational therapy practitioners responded to the survey. Degree level (master’s vs. bachelor’s or less), continuing education (minimum 1–2 hr of LGBT-specific training), practice setting (mental health), minority sexual orientation, and having a close friend or family member who identifies as SGM were associated with higher mean scores on the LGBT–DOCSS. Higher religiosity and frequency of religious practice were associated with lower scores on knowledge and attitudinal awareness.

Conclusions and Relevance: Occupational therapy practitioners often care for clients from backgrounds and cultures that differ from their own. Identifying gaps in education and opportunities for fostering LGBT-positive attitudes can facilitate the development of programs to improve practice with LGBT clients and help measure the effectiveness of such programs.

What This Article Adds: This study provides evidence that a basic level of continuing education can improve occupational therapy practitioners’ knowledge of and skills for working with LGBT populations and highlights the need to examine and change structural biases.

Impact of climate change in Southeast Europe; adaptation policies, environmental and human security, and normative resolutions
Authors: HADŽİĆ Faruk
Published: March 2022

This paper examines the impact of climate change in the Balkans on the different macro components of human and environmental security: the environmental dimension, the state's adaptation policies, and crisis management for the signified imperatives of mitigation describing impacts on different divisions offering normative resolutions. A comprehensive analysis of climate change in the Western Balkans has identified human health, security, and quality of life as highly vulnerable to natural disasters and weather changes. The agricultural sector, forestry, water management, free-flowing rivers, and Adriatic sea tourism are the ones that will suffer the most significant consequences. It is essential to follow the provisions of the Paris Agreement; climate-neutral green economies. It is required to build the necessary capacity, determining a general policy course for low-emission development resilient to climate change. As Western Balkans is the region facing a real threat posed by climate change, it is necessary to more actively promote the concepts of environmental protection, conservation of resources, and the use of renewable energy sources. At the institutional level, it is necessary to promote the concept of human security policies through laws and other acts or to incorporate it into existing ones; identify the most vulnerable sectors; make risk and vulnerability assessments, and action plans that will more actively oppose climate change. It is critical to integrate specific policies and projects into strategies, identify existing adaptation opportunities to mitigate climate change and ensure international support. Recent plans for exploiting all rivers are a critical factor of environmental and human insecurity, eradicating the European "blue heart," not correlated to the environment or hydro-energy but systemic corruption. Through joint action and approach, it is possible to limit the consequences and work on capacity building, creating a more resilient community capable of protecting its citizens by implementing human security conceptualization. Action plans are needed to build more modern defense systems to prevent further floods. Given the efficiency shown during the 2014 floods, B&H ethnopolitical authorities' actions, and the complex government, there is a high degree of ethnopolitical manipulation and inefficiency.

Abstract. Dimethyl sulphide (DMS) is emitted by phytoplankton species in the oceans and constitutes the largest source of naturally emitted sulphur to the atmosphere. The climate impact of secondary particles, formed through the oxidation of DMS by hydroxyl radicals, is still elusive. This study investigates the hygroscopicity and cloud condensation nuclei activity of such particles and discusses the results in relation to their chemical composition. We show that mean hygroscopicity parameters, κ, during an experiment for particles of 80 nm in diameter range from 0.46 to 0.52 as measured at both sub- and supersaturated water vapour conditions. Ageing of the particles leads to an increase in κ from for example 0.50–0.58 over the course of 3 hours (Exp. 7). Aerosol mass spectrometer measurements from this study indicate that this change most probably stems from a change in chemical composition leading to slightly higher fractions of ammonium sulphate compared to methanesulfonic acid (MSA) within the particles with ageing time. Lowering the temperature to 258 K increases κ slightly, particularly for small particles. These κ-values are well comparable to previously reported model values for MSA or mixtures between MSA and ammonium sulphate. Particle nucleation and growth rates suggest a clear temperature dependence, with slower rates at cold temperatures. Quantum chemical calculations show that gas-phase MSA clusters are predominantly not hydrated even at high humidity conditions indicating that their gas-phase chemistry should be independent of relative humidity.

Abstract. Geophysical validation of the Integrated Water Vapour (IWV) from Sentinel-3 Ocean and Land Colour Instrument (OLCI) was performed as a part of “ESA/Copernicus Space Component Validation for Land Surface Temperature, Aerosol Optical Depth and Water Vapour Sentinel-3 Products” (LAW) project. The IWV was compared with reference observations from two networks: GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) derived precipitable water vapour from the SUOMINET network and integrated lower tropospheric columns from radio-soundings from the IGRA (Integrated Radiosonde Archive) database. Results for cloud-free matchups over land show a wet bias of 7–10 % for OLCI, with a high correlation against the reference observations (0.98 against SUOMINET and 0.90 againts IGRA). Both OLCI-A and -B instruments show almost identical results, apart from an anomaly observed in camera 3 of the OLCI-B instrument, where observed biases are lower than in other cameras in either instrument. The wavelength drift in sensors was investigated, and biases in different cameras were found to be independent of wavelength. Effect of cloud proximity was found to have almost no effect on observed biases, indicating that cloud-flagging in the OLCI IWV product is sufficiently robust. We performed validation of random uncertainty estimates and found them to be consistent with the statistical a posteriori estimates, but somewhat higher.
Geochemical and sedimentological analysis of hypersaline Sambhar Lake of India: implications for paleolake exploration on Mars

Paleolakes on Mars have been proposed to be hydrologically active for thousands of years. They provide water, the prime ingredient for life to develop, and quiescent settings, making these lakes excellent targets in preserving biosignatures. Since ground truth analysis on Mars is limited to certain locations, most of the interpretations about Martian geology and past climate have been made through remote sensing. This study presents a comprehensive account of the physical and chemical aspects of an Earth-based hypersaline playa that has undergone intermittent wet and dry periods.

Sambhar Lake is the largest endorheic playa in India, situated southeast of the Aravalli mountains within the Thar Desert. The lake formed as a result of neotectonic and aeolian activity followed by stream capture like some paleolakes and hydrologically active inter-crater depressions on Mars. Sambhar Lake lies between arid and semi-arid transitional zones and is fed by two ephemeral streams indicating climate-driven hydrology. The surface and sub-surface brine samples collected from the lake were alkaline, Na-Cl type with salinity higher than the seawater. Silicate weathering and evaporation were identified as important processes responsible for influencing the hydro-geochemistry of the lake. Petrographic and geochemical analysis of the sediment and rock samples showed the presence of clay minerals and evaporites ranging from carbonates to halites suggesting that the lake had witnessed multiple hydrological cycles. The weathering index of the dried lake bed was comparable to some Gale crater samples and lakes with basaltic origin on Earth. The geochemical evolution of the Sambhar Lake is primarily governed by the inlet streams and their composition, partition of solutes in the water, and concentration of the evaporites. Thus, Sambhar Lake is a classic example of the climate-induced transition of a lacustrine basin to a playa. It may be helpful to study the evolution of hydrological basins, their morphology, and the process of mineral formation on Mars.
