Oficina temática do refrigerante: problematizando os conceitos de ácidos e a visão sobre a química
Authors: Semensate Amanda Pini , Volpato Vanessa Carolina , Mochizuki Ana Paula Julião , Silva Murillo Sotti , Silveira Marcelo Pimentel
Published: January 2018

O presente estudo teve como objetivo investigar as contribuições da aplicação de uma Oficina Temática (OT) pelo PIBID Química/UEM. A oficina teve como tema o refrigerante no processo de desmistificação de concepções sobre ácidos; o refrigerante na problematização da visão sobre a química; e o refrigerante na relação da química com o cotidiano. Assim, foi desenvolvido a OT com alunos recém-ingressos do curso de Química Licenciatura e Bacharelado da Universidade Estadual de Maringá (UEM), durante uma atividade de boas-vindas aos calouros. Os dados foram analisados por meio da Análise de Conteúdo, possibilitando compreender que os alunos possuem visões distorcidas e descontextualizadas sobre ácidos e a química, podendoisso ser compreendido como reflexo da forma como a disciplina de química é ministrada durante as aulas. Todavia, podemos dizer que a OT gerou um conflito entre as ideias iniciais dos estudantes, o que oportunizou aos alunos construírem uma concepção mais contextualizada sobre o tema abordado.

Questions à l’anti-humanisme de Claude Lévi-Strauss
Authors: Jacquet-Francillon François
Published: January 2018

Résumé À plusieurs reprises, Claude Lévi-Strauss a produit une critique très sévère de l’éthique humaniste issue de la Renaissance, qu’il accuse d’être à l’origine des camps nazis. Cette théorie étrange se fonde sur l’idée que l’humanisme a donné de l’homme une définition fallacieuse, qui aurait abouti à séparer l’homme de la nature, et par conséquent à séparer certains hommes des autres hommes. On s’efforce ici d’analyser les présupposés de cette thèse, et d’indiquer les voies de sa possible contestation.
De la Haskala à l’école juive de Paris : les Lumières juives à l’épreuve de l’émancipation
Authors: Nordmann Sophie
Published: January 2018

L’entrée des Juifs dans la modernité est marquée par la naissance de la Haskala et par le processus d’émancipation politique et sociale qui se poursuit tout au long du XIX e  siècle. Nous chercherons à retracer l’évolution de la manière dont ce processus a été perçu par les penseurs juifs français et allemands au cours des deux siècles derniers. Nous porterons une attention particulière à une action éducative spécifique, l’École d’Orsay, qui ouvre ses portes en 1946, et les ferme en 1969.
L’éducation, lieu universel du “particularisme” juif
Authors: Salanskis Jean-Michel
Published: January 2018

L’article est d’un bout à l’autre une méditation sur l’analogie possible entre le domaine de l’enseignement et de la recherche dans son ensemble, et le “domaine juif”, en partant de l’indice que l’année juive et l’année universitaire coïncident “presque” (en France au moins). Il discute du sens d’une telle analogie du point de vue du judaïsme rigoureux, il réfléchit sur la relation entre histoire sainte et histoire intrinsèque des sciences, et finalement sur le rapport de la philosophie avec la science juive traditionnelle.
Tissue Impression Smears as a Supplementary Diagnostic Method for Histopathology in Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in Sri Lanka
Authors: Manamperi Nuwani H. , Chandu de Silva M.V. , Pathirana Nishantha , Abeyewickreme Wimal , Karunaweera Nadira D.
Published: January 2018

Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is diagnosed mainly by light microscopy of smears made using lesion material. Histopathology is usually done in atypical presentations or when lesion smears are negative. Tissue impression smears (TIS) made from skin biopsy specimens were compared with histopathology for the diagnosis of CL. Out of the 111 patients included, 83 (74.8%) were positive by either methods. The TIS was positive in 70.3% whereas histopathology was positive in 56.8% of patients. Tissue impression smears can be used as a supplementary diagnostic test that gives sensitive and rapid results when tissue biopsies are used as the source of lesion material for diagnosis of CL.
Peanut butter, compositionality and semantic transparency in loan translations
Authors: Hoekstra Eric , van der Kuip Frits
Published: January 2018

This article presents an in-depth study of the Frisian loan pindakaas from Dutch pindakaas. This word can be literally glossed as ‘peanut cheese’, but it translates into English as ‘peanut butter’. The translation illustrates that the compound pindakaas is not compositional in Dutch and Frisian, that is, pindakaas is not a kind of kaas (‘cheese’). Because of its non-compositional nature, Dutch pindakaas, we argue, has not been borrowed into Frisian as pindatsiis, even though Dutch kaas in Frisian is tsiis. In contrast, compositional compounds featuring Dutch –kaas surface in Frisian with –tsiis, such as Dutch schapenkaas, Frisian skieppetsiis. The non-compositional nature of pindakaas is shown to have a historical explanation. Independent evidence is cited from psycholinguistics supporting the claim that compositional compounds behave in a way that differs from non-compositional ones. Thus evidence is provided that borrowing is sensitive to compositionality in that elements of compounds are more easily left untranslated when their meaning is not predictable by compositionality from their usage elsewhere in the language.
Attitudes to English job titles in the Netherlands and Flanders
Authors: van Meurs Frank , Hendriks Berna , Sanders Dirk
Published: January 2018

The purpose of this study was to investigate if English loanwords are perceived differently in Flanders and the Netherlands, two areas with a shared official language (Dutch) but different sociolinguistic background and history. It has been argued that because of historical French dominance over Flemish, attitudes towards loanwords in Flanders are negative, whereas in the Netherlands attitudes are more positive because Dutch has not been threatened by another language there. In an experiment with a between-subject design, 155 Dutch and Flemish university students evaluated three equivalent Dutch and English job titles (e.g. hoofredacteur/editor-in-chief) with regard to comprehensibility, attractiveness, naturalness, and intention to apply for the job. In addition, general attitudes towards English loanwords were measured. Findings did not reveal differences between the Dutch and Flemish participants in their evaluation of the English versus Dutch job titles, nor in their general attitude towards English loanwords. For both participant groups, there were no differences in attitude towards the English and Dutch versions for two of the job titles, and both groups displayed more positive attitudes towards the Dutch version of one of the job titles than its English equivalent. However, Flemish participants were less likely to apply for jobs with English job titles than for jobs with equivalent Dutch job titles, while for the Dutch participants language of job title did not result in differences in application intention. The general attitude to English loanwords of both Dutch and Flemish participants was positive. It can therefore be concluded that, generally, nationality was not a factor influencing language attitudes.
Die lexikalische Interaktion zwischen Niederländisch und Sranantongo in surinamischer Onlinekommunikation
Authors: Radke Henning
Published: January 2018

This article examines the interaction between the two main languages of Suriname, Surinamese Dutch (SD) and Sranan Tongo (ST). It focusses on structural effects caused by code switching (CS) and its impact on the lexical changes of the languages involved. Using the Leipzig Glossing Rules, the morphosyntactic structure of a number of sample sentences becomes clear and the interaction between SD and ST becomes visible. Which categories of loan and trigger words can be found in multilingual Surinamese discourses? And how do we define Sranan-based loan words in Surinamese Dutch? These questions will be examined through a body of data that was compiled during field research in Paramaribo. These data include language use on computer-mediated communication (CMC). CMC belongs to daily life for a section of the Surinamese population. This development has made it possible to research Surinamese multilingualism from a different perspective – a perspective that includes the features of oral and written communication (see Dorleijn & Nortier, 2008, p. 127). One of the oral features is the aforementioned phenomenon of code switching. This article contributes to the study of the interaction between creole languages and Germanic languages.
Spatial estimation of soil carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus stoichiometry in complex terrains: a case study of Schrenk's spruce forest in the Tianshan Mountains

Published: January 2018

Abstract. Spatial patterns of soil carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) and their stoichiometric characteristics (C : N : P) play an important role in nutrient limitations, community dynamics, nutrient use efficiency and biogeochemical cycles, etc. To date, the spatial distributions of soil organic C at various spatial scales have been extensively studied, whereas little is known about the spatial patterns of N and P and C : N : P ratios in various landscapes, especially across complex terrains. To fill this gap, we estimated the spatial patterns of concentrations of C, N and P and C : N : P ratios in Schrenk's spruce (Picea schrenkiana) forest in the Tianshan Mountains using multiple linear regression (MLR) model based on data from soil profiles collected from 2012 to 2017. We found that (1) elevation and climatic variables jointly contributed to concentrations of C, N and P and C : N : P ratios, (2) soil concentrations and stoichiometric ratios demonstrated different but continual spatial patterns in Schrenk's spruce forest, and (3) MLR models could be reliably used to estimate the spatial patterns of soil elemental concentrations and stoichiometric ratios in mountainous terrain. We suggest that more independent variables (including biotic, abiotic and anthropogenic factors) should be considered in future works. Additionally, adjustment of MLR and other models should be used for a better delineation of spatial patterns in the concentrations of soil elements and stoichiometric ratios.
Hybrid insolation forcing of Pliocene monsoon dynamics in West Africa
Authors: Kuechler Rony R. , Dupont Lydie M. , Schefuß Enno
Published: January 2018

Abstract. The Pliocene is regarded as a potential analogue for future climate with conditions generally warmer-than-today and higher-than-preindustrial atmospheric CO2 levels. Here we present the first orbitally resolved records of continental hydrology and vegetation changes from West Africa for two Pliocene time intervals (5.0–4.6 Ma, 3.6–3.0 Ma), which we compare with records from the last glacial cycle (Kuechler et al., 2013). Our results indicate that changes in local insolation alone are insufficient to explain the full degree of hydrologic variations. Generally two modes of interacting insolation forcings are observed: during eccentricity maxima, when precession was strong, the West African monsoon was driven by summer insolation; during eccentricity minima, when precession-driven variations in local insolation were minimal, obliquity-driven changes in the summer latitudinal insolation gradient became dominant. This hybrid monsoonal forcing concept explains orbitally controlled tropical climate changes, incorporating the forcing mechanism of latitudinal gradients for the Pliocene, which probably increased in importance during subsequent Northern Hemisphere glaciations.
Multivariate bias adjustment of high-dimensional climate simulations: The Rank Resampling for Distributions and Dependences (R2D2) Bias Correction
Authors: Vrac Mathieu
Published: January 2018

Abstract. Climate simulations often suffer from statistical biases with respect to observations or reanalyses. It is therefore common to correct (or adjust) those simulations before using them as inputs into impact models. However, most bias correction (BC) methods are univariate and so do not account for the statistical dependences linking the different locations and/or physical variables of interest. In addition, they are often deterministic, while stochasticity is frequently needed to investigate climate uncertainty and to add constrained randomness to climate simulations that do not possess a realistic variability. This study presents a multivariate method of rank resampling for distributions and dependences (R2D2) bias correction allowing to adjust not only the univariate distributions, but also their inter-variable and inter-site dependence structures. Moreover, the proposed R2D2 method provides some stochasticity since it can generate as many multivariate corrected outputs as the number of statistical dimensions (i.e., number of grid-cells × number of climate variables) of the simulations to be corrected. It is based on an assumption of stability in time of the dependence structure – allowing to deal with a high number of statistical dimensions –, that lets the climate model drive the temporal properties and their changes in time. R2D2 is applied on temperature and precipitation reanalyses time series with respect to high-resolution reference data over South-East of France (1506 grid-cells). Bivariate, 1506-dimensional and 3012-dimensional versions of R2D2 are tested over a historical period and compared to a univariate BC. How the different BC methods behave in a climate change context is also illustrated with an application to regional climate simulations over the 2071–2100 period. The results indicate that the 1d-BC basically reproduces the climate model multivariate properties, 2d-R2D2 is only satisfying in the inter-variable context, 1506d-R2D2 strongly improves inter-site properties and 3012d-R2D2 is able to account for both. Applications of the proposed R2D2 method to various climate datasets are relevant for many impact studies. The perspectives of improvements are numerous, such as introducing stochasticity in the dependence itself, questioning its stability assumption, and accounting for temporal properties adjustment while including more physics in the adjustment procedures.
Towards identification of critical rainfall thresholds for urban pluvial flooding prediction based on crowdsourced flood observations
Authors: Bouwens Christian , ten Veldhuis Marie-Claire , Schleiss Marc , Tian Xin , Schepers Jerôme
Published: January 2018

Abstract. Urban drainage systems are challenged by both urbanization and climate change, intensifying urban pluvial flooding impacts. Urban pluvial flooding impacts can be reduced by improving infrastructure and operational urban flood management strategies. This study investigated the relation between heavy rainfall and urban pluvial flooding in Rotterdam with the aim to identify parameters and thresholds that can be used as predictors of urban pluvial flooding. The focus of the investigation was on an area of 16 km2. Datasets for this research included historical crowdsourced flooding reports, overflow pumping volumes, open spatial data and rainfall data at different temporal and spatial resolutions. Threshold values, (which can be used as part of early warning systems), were derived from historical flooding data and rainfall depths over sub daily durations. Threshold values of rainfall depth were found to be 6 mm (±3 mm) in 15 min and 11 mm (±6 mm) in 60 min. Surprisingly, the derived thresholds are only approximately half of the theoretical drainage system design capacity. Furthermore, a threshold value of 70 % (±4 %) imperviousness was found above which flooding incidents significantly increase. Results also suggested a strong dependence on spatial aggregation scale, as it highly influences correlation coefficients and parameter density values. Elevation differences did not appear to contribute to urban pluvial flooding, based on a flow path analysis for the study area. Finally, we showed that antecedent rainfall does not explain additional variance in reports, meaning it is not an influential urban pluvial flooding predictor, at least not on a daily temporal resolution.
Aprendizagem organizacional: a experiência vivida por bibliotecários de uma biblioteca universitária
Authors: Faqueti Marouva Fallgatter , Dutra Sigrid Karin Weiss , Alves João Bosco da Mota , Cunha Cristiano José Castro de Almeida
Published: January 2018

Compreender como acontece o processo de Aprendizagem Organizacional (AO) a partir da perspectiva dos bibliotecários no cotidiano laboral é relevante, pois, a partir dessa compreensão, é possível obter subsídios para melhorar as práticas de gestão em bibliotecas. Neste contexto, o objetivo do artigo é descrever a percepção dos bibliotecários de uma Biblioteca Universitária sobre suas experiências em processos de AO. O estudo adotou a abordagem qualitativa de pesquisa e utilizou como instrumento de coleta de dados a entrevista não estruturada. Foram entrevistados seis bibliotecários ocupantes de cargos de gestão intermediária de uma biblioteca universitária. A análise temática das narrativas foi estruturada a partir do framework desenvolvido por Crossan, Lane e White, que explicam o processo de AO por meio dos 4Is (intuição, interpretação, integração e institucionalização). Agregou-se também uma análise sobre a aprendizagem em rede mediada por relacionamentos intra e interorganizacionais. Os resultados indicam que o modelo dos 4Is pode ser aplicado como uma estrutura conceitual para a identificação e compreensão dos processos AO em bibliotecas. Sugere-se o desenvolvimento de pesquisas adicionais envolvendo servidores ocupantes de outras funções, bem como estudos que envolvam relacionamentos à distância. Considerando que este estudo especificamente está focado no movimento dos 4Is, sentido feed-forward (do nível individual ao organizacional), sugere-se também que novos estudos devem ser conduzidos para compreender o processo de aprendizagem fluindo em sentido inverso - Feedback (sentido da organização para o indivíduo). A baixa relacionalidade e a pequena representatividade da biblioteca junto a órgãos ou setores da instituição de origem foram causas apontadas como inibidoras da aprendizagem organizacional no nível intraorganizacional.

Authors: Assumpção Fabrício Silva , Santos Plácida Leopoldina Ventura Amorim da Costa , Zafalon Zaira Regina
Published: January 2018

Por meio de uma revisão de literatura, este estudo tem por objetivo analisar o controle de autoridade e o papel dos dados de autoridade nos catálogos em livros e em fichas. Considerando a falta de univocidade entre as entidades utilizadas como pontos de acesso nos catálogos (pessoas, entidades coletivas, conceitos, etc.) e os nomes pelos quais essas entidades são conhecidas, é discutido o controle de autoridade e os conceitos a ele relacionados. Em seguida, são descritos os catálogos em livros e em fichas, com ênfase na organização e nos pontos de acesso neles utilizados, e destacadas as principais contribuições de Panizzi, Jewett, Cutter e da American Library Association relacionadas ao controle de autoridade. Por fim, considera-se que os registros de autoridade atuais tiveram suas funções e seus elementos definidos ainda no contexto dos catálogos analógicos, em especial dos catálogos em fichas, de modo que os resultados deste estudo contribuem para a compreensão dos registros e arquivos de autoridade atuais e do próprio conceito de controle de autoridade, assim como para a discussão sobre novos conjuntos de regras de descrição, padrões para o intercâmbio de dados, práticas e tecnologias para a publicação de dados bibliográficos e de autoridade.

Political Poems in MS Harley 2253 and the English National Crisis of 1339–41
Authors: Revard Carter
Published: January 2018

The article examines the crucial social conditions, political crises, and royal statutes that underlie verse found in London, British Library MS Harley 2253. Special attention is given to seven political poems: three composed under Henry III around the Montfortian 1260s (the English Song of Lewes, the French Lament for Simon de Montfort, and the Latin All the World's a Chess Board); two composed in the 1330s that, like Chess Board, oppose royal taxation (the French-Latin Against the King's Taxes and the English Song of the Husbandman); a poem of outlaw protest (the French Trailbaston); and a comic dialogue (the French Jongleur of Ely and the King of England). These poems participated in the sociopolitical history of England—local, regional, and national—from 1300 to 1350. Three appendices present the political verse copied by the Harley Scribe into Harley 2253 and Royal 12. C. xii, the relationship of Husbandman to contemporary statutes, and a ribald analogue to Jongleur.
The Composite Community: Thinking Through Fanon's Critique of a Narrow Nationalism
Authors: Sealey Kris
Published: January 2018

This article presents Édouard Glissant's account of a composite community as an articulation of Frantz Fanon's alternative, de-colonial conception of the nation. It shows that, subsequent to Fanon's critique of the xenophobia and racism of a narrow nationalism (found in The Wretched of the Earth), we are left with a conception of a national consciousness that registers with what Glissant names, in Poetics of Relation, a composite community in relation. Both accounts ground community in a foundation of difference, process and dynamism, all of which is carried into a collective identity, without the reductive homogenizing practices of most nation-building endeavors. As such, the article argues that Glissant's work is positioned to underscore what, in Fanon's understanding of national culture, is meant to protect the living dynamism of a people from a chauvinistic ultra-nationalism. Similarly, the work of The Wretched of the Earth can be used to take Glissant's alternative political ontology into the arena of thinking the nation otherwise.

Management of Biceps Tendon Pathology: From the Glenoid to the Radial Tuberosity
Authors: Frank Rachel M. , Cotter Eric J. , Strauss Eric J. , Jazrawi Laith M. , Romeo Anthony A.
Published: January 2018

Management of proximal and distal biceps tendon pathology is evolving. The long head of the biceps tendon, if inflamed, may be a pain-producing structure. In appropriately indicated patients, a symptomatic long head of the biceps tendon can be surgically managed via tenotomy, tenodesis, and/or superior labrum anterior to posterior repair. In some patients, primary superior labrum anterior to posterior pathology can be managed via biceps tenodesis. Determining which procedure is most appropriate and which technique and implant are preferred for a given patient with biceps tendon pathology is controversial. Less debate exists with regard to the timing of distal biceps tendon repair; however, considerable controversy exists with regard to selection of an appropriate surgical technique and implant. In addition, the treatment of patients with a chronic and/or retracted distal biceps tendon tear and patients in whom distal biceps tendon repair fails is extremely challenging. Orthopaedic surgeons should understand the anatomy of, nonsurgical and surgical treatment options for, and outcomes of patients with proximal or distal biceps tendon pathology.

Published: January 2018

This study aimed at identifying the impact of organizational context and information technology on the willingness of employees to share knowledge in the public health sector in Jordan. The study was conducted using a questionnaire designed for this purpose.160 of which was distributed in the largest hospitals in the capital of Jordan - Amman, 140 were returned for analysis with a response rate of 87.5%. To ascertain the degree of reliability and validity Cronbach's Alpha was utilized. Multiple regressions were used to analyse the effect of several independent variables on a dependent variable to test the hypotheses and to validate the study model. Frequencies and percentages were also extracted to identify the personal and functional characteristics of respondents.The most prominent conclusions obtained are: sharing knowledge among employees is positively affected social relations and rewards systems; knowledge sharing is negatively affected by the level of centralization in the organization; there is also no statistical support regarding  formalization or any of demographic and functional variables; there are no statistically significant differences between vision, organizational goals, and trust among employees and their willingness to share knowledge; information technology and its ease of use positively impact on employee's readiness to share knowledge. This study has presented a number of recommendations that can benefit for future studies in this area.
Better Life Index and Health Care Quality Indicators, Two New Instruments to Evaluate the Healthcare System
Authors: Biancone Paolo Pietro , Secinaro Silvana , Brescia Valerio
Published: January 2018

Local health companies have been trying to report quantitative and qualitative information through social reporting tools for a long time. The OECD has been questioning for quite some time how to evaluate satisfaction and quality by not considering the economic aspect alone in the quest for satisfying the needs of the citizen. The aim of the work is to evaluate how the compound indicator of well-being perceived by the population and the composite indicator of the quality of health services can be used to define health policies considering the incidence of other variables. In the analysis, it is therefore assessed how much the two indicators are related and linked to other variables that need to be considered and how independent indicators are used without further evaluations to target policies. The data are updated to October 18, 2017. All statistical analyses were performed using STATA V.13 (Stata Corp, College Station, Texas, USA, 2013) and p value <0.05 was considered significant for all analyses. The sample is made up of 35 OECD countries.

Authors: Mariani Massimo , Amoruso Paola , Didonato Raffaele , Caragnano Alessandra
Published: January 2018

The current paper presents an empirical analysis concerning the cat bond spread determinants at the time of issue, to evaluate potential drivers of catastrophe bond prices in the primary market. Starting from the framework description following the main branch of existing literature in this field, the statistical significance of various determinants on the pricing of cat bond is measured, paying attention to a factor representative of economic and financial circumstances and market conditions in general, consequently not associated with the catastrophe risk, namely Libor; it will be considered in order to verify the absence of influence of risk free rate on spread in the primary market. The results achieved provide insight in understanding variation of catastrophe risk prices, by taking into account term structure as well as external conditions, thus evaluating which potential spread determinants could help to improve the explanatory power of an econometric pricing model.

Published: January 2018

Requirements prioritization is considered as one of the most important approaches in the requirement engineering process. Requirements prioritization is used to define the ordering or schedule for executing requirement based on their priority or importance with respect to stakeholders’ viewpoints. Many prioritization techniques for requirement have been proposed by researchers, and there is no single technique can be used for all projects types. In this paper we give an overview of the requirement process and requirement prioritization concept. We also present the most popular techniques used to prioritize the software project requirements and a compression between these techniques. On the other hand, we spot the light on the importance of involving the non-functional requirements prioritization because of the great effects of non-functional on project success and quality; some approaches that used in prioritize non-functional requirements are discussed in this paper, in addition a general model is proposed based on reviewing the prioritization techniques in order to suggests a best suited technique for specific projects according to decision makers parameters.
Taxonomy and distribution of African chiggers (Acariformes, Trombiculidae)
Authors: Stekolnikov Alexandr A.
Published: January 2018

Chigger mites of the African continent are reviewed using data acquired from the literature and examination of the collections deposited at the Royal Museum for Central Africa (Tervuren, Belgium) and the Natural History Museum (London, UK). All findings for 443 valid chigger species belonging to 61 genera are reported, along with details on their collection locality and host species. Three new synonyms are proposed: Straelensia Vercammen-Grandjean & Kolebinova, 1968 (= Anasuscuta Brown, 2009 syn. nov.); Herpetacarus (Herpetacarus) Vercammen-Grandjean, 1960 (= Herpetacarus (Lukoschuskaaia) Kolebinova & Vercammen-Grandjean, 1980 syn. nov.); Gahrliepia brennani (Jadin & Vercammen-Grandjean, 1952) (= Gahrliepia traubi Audy, Lawrence & Vercammen-Grandjean, 1961 syn. nov.). A new replacement name is proposed: Microtrombicula squirreli Stekolnikov, 2017 nom. nov. pro Eltonella myonacis heliosciuri Vercammen-Grandjean, 1965 (praeocc. Vercammen-Grandjean, 1965). Ninety new combinations are proposed. Keys to subfamilies, genera and subgenera of African trombiculid larvae and diagnoses of these taxa are given.

El análisis de la desigualdad en las ciudades cuenta con una amplia tradición, desde los análisis de áreas urbanas mediante ecología factorial de la Escuela de Chicago a los estudios contemporáneos sobre ‘vulnerabilidad urbana’. Desde un punto de vista operativo su objetivo principal ha consistido en elaborar un índice sintético que permita situar a las áreas urbanas en un continuum respecto a los recursos que poseen sus residentes y/o los riegos que enfrentan. En este trabajo se presenta una propuesta y validación de un indicador para medir el nivel socio-económico de áreas urbanas. En primer lugar, se revisan algunos aspectos básicos de esta tradición en el análisis de la sociología urbana. En segundo lugar, se presenta la propuesta para, en tercer lugar, proceder a su validación, finalizando con unas breves conclusiones sobre el indicador propuestos y sus posibles limitaciones.The analysis of inequality in cities has a wide tradition, from the analysis of urban areas through factorial ecology of the Chicago School to contemporary studies on 'urban vulnerability'. From an operative point of view, its main objective has been to elaborate a synthetic index that allows to place to the urban areas in a continuum with respect to the resources that own its residents and / or the risks that they face. This paper presents a proposal to measure the socio-economic level of urban areas and its validation. First, some basic aspect in the analysis of urban inequalities are reviewed. Then, the proposal is presented and validated, and finally, some few conclusions about the proposal and its limitations are included.
El fetichismo de la transcripción: Cuando el texto pierde el lenguaje analógico

Published: January 2018

El concepto marxista de fetichismo nos ayuda a entender como los regímenes liberales, tanto de carácter productivo como de naturaleza consumptiva, construyen un mundo de objetos circulantes que aparecen divorciados de los contextos en los que se produjeron. Lo mismo se puede decir de la transcripción cuando esta se externalizada y es consumida —cual que dato primario— por los grupos de investigación. En el artículo se discute la importancia de la transcripción en el proceso de investigación. En primer lugar, se atiende su relevancia en la dimensión analítica y como parte de las preocupaciones metodológicas para evitar la pérdida de continuidad en la transformación de la oralidad en documento primario. Se analizan los problemas derivados de mercantilizar la transcripción en los contextos de externalización del trabajo de campo. En segundo lugar, se contextualiza el trabajo de transcripción en el proceso artesanal de la investigación cualitativa y se incide en las posibilidades que brinda para realizar un análisis continuo del proceso de investigación. En último lugar, el artículo discute la dimensión ética que contiene la transcripción literal como proceso a través del que se devuelve, en forma de escucha, el tiempo a las personas que ofrecieron su palabra a la investigación.The Marxist concept of fetishism helps us to understand how liberal regimes, both productive and consumptive, construct a world of circulating objects that appear divorced from the contexts in which they are produced. The same can be said of transcription when it is outsourced and consumed as a primary data by research groups. The importance of transcription in the research process is discussed in the article. First, we take into account its relevance in the analytical process and as part of the methodological concerns to avoid the loss of continuity in the transformation of orality into a primary document. We analyze the problems derived from commercialization of the transcription in the contexts of outsourcing of the field work. Secondly, the work of transcription is contextualized in the artisanal process of qualitative research and it focuses on the possibilities it offers to carry out a continuous analysis in the research process. Finally, the article discusses the ethical dimension of the literal transcription as a process through which we return the people that offered they time and they word to the research in the form of listening.
Waterjet Modeling to Calculate High Speed Vessels’ Performance
Authors: Eshed Shlomo
Published: January 2018

Similar to the matching process between the main engine and propeller in a conventional vessel, there is a basic necessity to match main engine and waterjet in a high speed craft. Unlike the ability of the naval architect to review the overall impact of the engine and propeller selection in terms of thrust, delivered power, fuel consumption and vessel range, when coming to match a waterjet to a particular vessel, the performance data presented by the waterjet manufacturers is in some ways simplistic and does not contribute to the naval architect's effort to assess the complete performance picture of the propulsion system. In this article, a simple parametric modeling of the waterjet is presented which is common to all waterjets and enables the naval architect to match and assess the interaction between main engine and waterjet much like the process when matching main engine to a propeller. It will be shown that the constant power lines for thrust and rotational speed of a waterjet can in fact be consolidated into a single nondimensional set of curves similar to the nondimensional KT/KQ/ηo of a conventional propeller. This process will allow in fact the overall assessment of the matching problem between the main engine and the waterjet. Some waterjet manufacturers provide data for different impeller designs in which case this process can provide the naval architect a tool to choose the optimal impeller. Unlike the graphical nature of the performance assessment of the conventional data presented by the waterjet manufacturers, this method of modeling allows the digital/analytical solution in any intermediate speed and power setting. For the sake of simplicity, this article does not deal with the cavitation phenomena and the loss of thrust when the waterjet is cavitating although these are important issues that should be considered when assessing waterjet performance.
Higher Education as a Field of Research in the Portuguese Speaking Countries: Insights on an Emerging Scientifc Field
Authors: Langa Patricio
Published: January 2018

This article examines the preconditions for the emergence of higher education as a feld of research in the Portuguese speaking countries. It uses various sources of data, including the worldwide inventory on higher education by the Center for International Higher Education of Boston College, to map the existing infrastructure for the establishment of higher education as new scientifc feld. This includes research centres, academic programmes, journals, and professional and academic associations. The article shows that higher education has become a complex social institution, which, according to Altbach (2014), is the condition that leads to the constitution of a new scientifc feld. Bourdieu’s theory of feld is used to shed light on the sociological conditions for the establishment of new felds. The article concludes that the prerequisites for an emerging feld of higher education research in the Portuguese speaking countries are in place, but further research is required to establish whether the magnet eﬀects of a functioning feld have been ignited. Cet article examine les conditions pour l’émergence de l’enseignement supérieur comme discipline de recherche dans les pays lusophones. Il utilise des sources variées pour schématiser les infrastructures nécessaires à l’institution de l’enseignement supérieur comme nouvelle discipline scientifque, y compris l’inventaire mondial sur l’enseignement supérieur du Center for International Higher Education à Boston College. Celui-ci inclut les centres de recherche, les programmes universitaires, les journaux, et les associations professionnelles et académiques. Cet article démontre que l’enseignement supérieur est devenu une institution sociale complexe, ce qui, d’après Altbach (2014), est la condition qui mène à la constitution d’une nouvelle discipline scientifque. En conclusion, cet article afrme que les prérequis à l’émergence d’une discipline de recherche sur l’enseignement supérieur dans les pays lusophones sont remplis, mais il faudrait eﬀectuer plus de travaux de recherche pour vérifer que les eﬀets magnétiques nécessaires au bon fonctionnement d’une discipline de recherche ont bien été enclenchés.
The International Dimension of the Brazilian Higher Education System Through the Prism of South-South Cooperation
Authors: Brum José Antonio , Knobel Marcelo
Published: January 2018

International cooperation is a growing trend among research universities. In the past, this took the form of collaboration between researchers in developing countries with those in the developed world that enjoy superior access to fnancial and technical resources as well as infrastructure. More recently, the collaboration map has begun to change, as scientists in developed countries recognised how local context can aﬀect their work, and those in developing countries are slowly building their research capabilities. Furthermore, South-South research collaboration is considered increasingly important, alongside developments in science and higher education in these countries. Following a brief overview of the Brazilian higher education system, this article discusses the complexity of establishing international collaboration, citing a few programmes aiming at strengthening South-South cooperation. La coopération internationale ne cesse de croitre au sein des universités de recherche. Dans le passé, elle prenait la forme d’une collaboration entre les chercheurs de pays en voie de développement et ceux de pays développés, qui ont accès à des ressources fnancières et techniques ainsi que des infrastructures supérieures. Plus récemment, le format des collaborations a commencé à changer, alors que les scientifques des pays développés reconnaissent la manière dont le contexte local impacte leur travail, tandis que ceux des pays en voie de développement créent doucement des capacités de recherche. Par ailleurs, la collaboration de recherche sud-sud est de plus en plus considérée essentielle, parallèlement aux développements de la science et de l’enseignement supérieur dans ces pays. Après une brève introduction au système d’enseignement supérieur brésilien, cet article aborde la complexité de la mise en place de partenariats internationaux, en faisant référence à quelques programmes visant à renforcer les coopérations sud-sud.
