O bailarino e seu contexto profissional: um estudo acerca da identidade profissional
Authors: Trindade Ana Ligia , Mangan Patricia Kayser Vargas
Published: November 2018

A proposta deste estudo na área da Memória Social tem como objetivo discutir acerca de conceitos de identidade, profissão e arte como trabalho, tendo como ênfase o profissional bailarino. O termo identidade não pode ser compreendido senão por vias interdisciplinares, no entrecruzamento de áreas como a Sociologia, a Psicologia, a Antropologia e a História. Nesse contexto, se compreende identidade profissional como um processo contínuo que se vincula à identidade pessoal, igualmente ligada aos vínculos e sentimentos de pertencimento a uma determinada categoria ou grupo social. As considerações levantadas, acerca de identidade, profissão, ofício, ocupação e trabalho, tem a finalidade de contextualização para o estudo que está tentando delinear uma imagem e identidade do profissional bailarino, bem como instigar novas pesquisas nesta temática.
Tudo são fixações! Descrever o mundo
Authors: Machado Rosilene Beatriz , Flores Cláudia Regina
Published: November 2018

Este artigo intenta problematizar, a partir da evidência da proliferação de mapas (visuais) no decorrer dos séculos XV a XVII, a entrada em cena de artefatos imagéticos (não apenas mapas, mas imagens em geral), até então descreditados em relação a fontes textuais, em uma cultura que historicamente vê-se fortemente dominada pela escrita. O questionamento é, afinal: o que tornou possível esse acontecimento (da proliferação de imagens)? O que se busca, portanto, é analisar que alterações são percebidas no estatuto epistemológico das imagens na produção do conhecimento a partir, especialmente, do período renascentista.
Biologia celular: uma revisão sistemática sobre experiências didáticas no ensino médio
Authors: Paiva Ayane De Souza , Guimarães Ana Paula Miranda , Almeida Rosiléia Oliveira de
Published: November 2018

O ensino de biologia celular tem sido objeto de estudos que envolvem aspectos curriculares e didáticos. Considerada um campo abstrato na biologia, a citologia é uma temática trabalhada com dificuldade. Este trabalho objetivou analisar formas de abordagem didática de biologia celular propostas para o Ensino Médio, através de uma revisão sistemática na literatura especializada. Utilizamos como critério de marco temporal inicial a década de 1990, quando se consolidou no Brasil a abordagem Ciência, Tecnologia e Sociedade, perspectiva educacional que consideramos uma tentativa de superação do ensino fragmentado. A investigação envolveu a análise de trabalhos publicados nas principais revistas de pesquisa em ensino de Ciências no âmbito nacional e em anais de encontros nacionais da área. As análises mostraram que nas abordagens propostas predomina uma ênfase conceitualista e cientificista, não acionando comumente a história da ciência, questões sociais e dilemas éticos no processo formativo.
Efeitos Entrincheiramento e Alinhamento e Informatividade dos Lucros Contabeis: estudo comparativos
Authors: Coelho Antonio Carlos , Holanda Allan Pinheiro , Moura Emanuela Aragão de
Published: November 2018

O objetivo da pesquisa consiste em analisar se efeitos decorrentes de estrutura de propriedade concentrada predominam na forma de entrincheiramento ou de alinhamento para o atributo de informatividade do lucro, condicionado à presença de padrão contábil baseado em princípios. Foi utilizada amostra de empresas listadas na BM&FBovespa considerando o período de 2008 a 2014. Sarlo Neto et al. (2010) exploraram o tema em pesquisa similar, que fundamenta e se compara neste estudo. Aplicaram-se modelos baseados em Easton e Harris (1991) associando informatividade com concentração de votos em posse do maior acionista e indicador de divergência entre direitos do maior acionista (fluxo de caixa e voto). Os dados foram coletados nos sistemas Economática® e SInC® e processados por regressões com estimação com dados em painel. Sob a hipótese de interferência dos efeitos estudados na informatividade dos lucros, evidenciou-se que há: persistência do coeficiente lucro/retorno indicando significante informatividade dos lucros e influência do efeito entrincheiramento na informatividade, não se rejeitando a hipótese. Ademais, a informatividade apresentou-se mais efetiva na vigência do padrão contábil IFRS.

Decoupling e integração entre os mercados acionários dos Brics
Authors: Carvalho Anderson de Souza , Fávero Luiz Paulo Lopes , Takamatsu Renata Turola
Published: November 2018

O crescimento do comércio entre os países emergentes e um respectivo aumento do fluxo de capitais resultou na hipótese de integração financeira crescente entre essas nações e seus respectivos mercados acionários. Ao mesmo tempo, passou-se a observar diferenças significativas de desempenho econômico entre esse grupo de países emergentes e os desenvolvidos, deslocamento conhecido como decoupling. A presente pesquisa pretende investigar se existe um fenômeno de decoupling entre os mercados acionários dos BRICS e dos EUA e se este fenômeno pode ser explicado pela integração entre os mercados dos BRICS de 2003 a outubro de 2012. Os modelos foram analisados antes e depois da crise financeira de 2008. Entre os resultados, foram encontradas evidências de: (i) um possível decoupling entre os desempenhos dos mercados dos BRICS e dos EUA, principalmente de 2003 a 2006; (ii) uma influência significativa da integração dos mercados acionários dos BRICS no decoupling identificado; e (iii) mudanças importantes nos resultados antes e depois da crise financeira de 2008. Estes resultados suportam a hipótese de que a recente interação entre os mercados emergentes tem produzido um fator grupo que tem gerado desempenhos significativamente diferentes dos mercados desenvolvidos, tendo implicações importantes para a teoria da diversificação internacional de portfólios.
Práticas de Trabalho e as Dimensões Tácitas e Estéticas da Aprendizagem de Operadores de Rochas Ornamentais
Authors: Araujo Vasconcelos Katia Cyrlene de , Cavalcanti Claudia Xavier , Da Silva Junior Annor
Published: November 2018

O objetivo deste artigo é compreender como as práticas de trabalho possibilitam a aprendizagem dos indivíduos nos espaços de trabalho utilizando uma lente teórica que entende que este processo ocorre a partir de uma teia de relações sociais e culturais que são institucionalizadas e estabelecidas e sustentadas por um grupo (GHERARDI; STRATI, 2014). Para isso, uma pesquisa de caráter qualitativa foi realizada em indústria de rochas ornamentais. A coleta foi realizada por meio de entrevistas e observações assistemáticas e a análise destes dados demonstra que o processo de aprendizagem dos operadores da empresa  se sustenta em uma construção social, por meio de  práticas de socialização, da segurança e do senso estético, onde a colaboração, a interação, o desejo de compartilhar, a vontade de aprender, a ativação da percepção e de sentimentos são fontes importantes para a geração, a disseminação e o compartilhamento do conhecimento e o aprendizado.
Uma Análise das Relações entre Suporte Organizacional e Comprometimento Duplo de Empregados no Modelo Outsourcing
Authors: Martins Fabio Mendonça , Araujo Bruno Felix von Borell de
Published: November 2018

Neste estudo, busca-se explorar o fenômeno de relações de trabalho envolvendo distintas organizações como o ocorrido em processos de Outsourcing que tem trazido maior complexidade aos vínculos afetivos entre trabalhadores e organizações para melhor compreender a influência do porte da empresa empregadora na relação entre o Suporte Organizacional Percebido (SOP) oferecido por ambas as organizações e os respectivo Comprometimento Afetivo (CA) obtido por elas. Identificou-se nesta pesquisa uma relação positiva entre os constructos Suporte Organizacional Percebido (SOP) e Comprometimento Afetivo (CA). Adicionalmente, o Faturamento da empresa contratada moderou a relação entre estes dois constructos. O estudo apresenta algumas limitações. O modelo não considerou, por exemplo, a localidade do posto de trabalho no qual os empregados estão alocados (se nas dependências da contratante, da contratada ou em algum local diferente).
Solstícios e equinócios como sombras de produção da vida
Authors: Sitoie Carlitos Luís
Published: November 2018

As sombras representam assuntos culturais, econômicos e políticos do cotidiano.Na cidade de Macapá (BR) e no povoado de Aqui (MZ), os equinócios e solstícios, simbolizam sobreposição de sombras, assim como, as mudanças de estações do ano que subsidiam festividades por esses acontecimentos. As sombras frequentemente são entendidas como lugares escuros que se relacionam ao sombrio, entendidas como sítios de medo, estranheza, assustador e pouco se revelam as suas potencialidades na vida cotidiana. O artigo procura trazer a categoria sombra e suas contribuições em diferentes esferas da vida sociocultural, econômica e política. O estudo de caso foi baseado nos moradores do povoado de Aqui no distrito de Massinga em Moçambique (MZ) e da cidade de Macapá no Estado do Amapá no Brasil (BR).
Habitat requirements and germination performance of some relict populations of Ligularia sibirica (Asteraceae) from Romania
Authors: Cîșlariu Alina G. , Mânzu Ciprian C. , Zamfirache Maria M.
Published: November 2018

Background and aims – Ligularia sibirica is a glacial relict plant species in Europe. Its populations are rare and endangered in most of the European localities. Studies on glacial relics are insufficient; among them only a few focus on the population characteristics and their reproductive capacity. We aimed to determine the habitat requirements of L. sibirica populations; which factors affect the reproductive output of the populations and how the interaction of ecological and biological parameters influences their germination capacity.Methods – We described habitat conditions in terms of the Ellenberg indicators (for nitrogen availability, moisture, light, soil reaction, and temperature) in each analysed population. To determine which factors affect the population viability we performed a series of regression analyses. Germination experiment was carried under laboratory-controlled conditions at a 14/10 h. photoperiod and 24/16°C temperature, for 32 days, with cold stored seeds (at 4°C), and seeds stored at room temperature on a different substrate (moist filter paper and oligotrophic soil). The parameters influencing population germination rate were determined with general linear models. Key results – We found that the soil humidity, nitrogen availability, temperature, and lighting are the ecological factors influencing the morphological features of L. sibirica populations. The largest seeds are in the middle part of the inflorescence though this parameter has no influence on germination rate. The seeds germinated better on moist filter paper. Cold stored seeds did not show higher germination rate. Germination increased with the altitude of the populations and the seeds mass, whilst higher values of density had a negative influence on it. Conclusions – Our results suggest that habitat conditions and population characteristics are highly related to the germination success of L. sibirica. The prosperity of a population (expressed by the number of individuals) is not a guarantee of reproductive success, the densest populations having the lowest rates of germination.
Trump Studies: The Double Refusal And Silent Majorities In Theoretical Times
Authors: Brabazon Tara , Redhead Steve , Chivaura Runyararo
Published: November 2018

This article builds on the embryonic inter/trans/anti/disciplinary Trump Studies to generate a theoretical framework for understanding the Brexit outcome and Trump’s victory. The consequences of researchers operating in a post-expertise political sphere means that new theories are required to create innovative interdisciplinary solutions to difficult, defiant and troubling social and economic problems. Using Jean Baudrillard’s theorization of banality and Stuart Hall’s ‘Great Moving Right Show,’ we consider how higher education researchers remain engaged in public discussions of, about and with ‘the silent majority.’

Abstract. This paper presents a Discrete Element-based elasto-plastic-adhesive model which is adapted and tested for producing hillslope debris flows. The numerical model produces three phases of particle contacts: elastic, plastic and adhesion. The model capabilities of simulating different types of cohesive granular flows were tested with different ranges of flow velocities and heights. The basic model parameters, being the basal friction (ϕb) and normal restitution coefficient (ϵn), were calibrated using field experiments of hillslope debris flows impacting two sensors. Simulations of 50 m3 of material were carried out on a channelized surface that is 41 m long and 8 m wide. The calibration process was based on measurements of flow height, flow velocity and the pressure applied to a sensor. Results of the numerical model matched well those of the field data in terms of pressure and flow velocity while less agreement was observed for flow height. Those discrepancies in results were due in part to the deposition of material in the field test which are not reproducible in the model. A parametric study was conducted to further investigate that effect of model parameters and inclination angle on flow height, velocity and pressure. Results of best-fit model parameters against selected experimental tests suggested that a link might exist between the model parameters ϕb and ϵn and the initial conditions of the tested granular material (bulk density and water and fine contents). The good performance of the model against the full-scale field experiments encourages further investigation by conducting lab-scale experiments with detailed variation of water and fine content to better understand their link to the model's parameters.

Abstract. Sea surface temperature (SST) is the major factor that affects the ocean-atmosphere interaction, and in turn the accurate prediction of SST is the key to ocean dynamic prediction. In this paper, an SST predicting method based on improved empirical mode decomposition (EMD) algorithms and back-propagation neural network (BPNN) is proposed. Two different EMD algorithms have been applied extensively for analyzing time-series SST data and some nonlinear stochastic signals. Ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) algorithm and Complementary Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (CEEMD) algorithm are two improved algorithms of EMD, which can effectively handle the mode-mixing problem and decompose the original data into more stationary signals with different frequencies. Each Intrinsic Mode Function (IMF) has been taken as an input data to the back-propagation neural network model. The final predicted SST data is obtained by aggregating the predicted data of individual IMF. A case study, of the monthly mean sea surface temperature anomaly (SSTA) in the northeastern region of the North Pacific, shows that the proposed hybrid CEEMD-BPNN model is much more accurate than the hybrid EEMD-BPNN model, and the prediction accuracy based on BP neural network is improved by the CEEMD method. Statistical analysis of the case study demonstrates that applying the proposed hybrid CEEMD-BPNN model is effective for the SST prediction.
On the role of the seawater absorption to attenuation ratio in the radiance polarization above the Southern Baltic surface

Abstract. Information about polarization of light leaving the ocean surface has the potential to improve the quality of the bio-optical parameters retrieval from ocean color remote sensing (OCRS). This improvement can be applied in numerous ways such as limiting of sun glints and obtaining information about atmospheric aerosol properties for atmospheric correction as well as increasing the accuracy of the algorithms based on the water-leaving signal. Polarization signals at the top of the atmosphere (ToA) that include the water-leaving signal are strongly influenced by atmospheric molecular scattering and by direct sun and sky reflections from the sea surface. For these reasons, it is necessary to better understand the factors that change the polarization of light in the atmosphere-ocean system, especially in coastal zones affected by dynamic changes. In this paper, the influence of seasonal variability of light absorption and scattering coefficients (inherent optical properties, IOPs) of seawater, wind speed and solar zenith angle (SZA) on the polarization of upwelling radiance over the sea surface in the visible light bands is discussed. The results come from a polarized radiative transfer model based on the Monte Carlo code and applied to the atmosphere-ocean system using averaged IOPs as input data. The results, presented in the form of polar plots of the total upwelling radiance degree of polarization (DoP), indicate that regardless of the wavelength of light and type of water, the highest value of the above water DoP is strongly correlated with the absorption-to-attenuation ratio. The correlation is a power function that depends on both the SZA and the wind speed. The correlation versatility for different wavelengths of light is very unusual in optics of the sea and is therefore worth emphasizing.

Published: November 2018

This research inspects the impact of POS on trust, job satisfaction and turnover intention and observe the mediating effect of job satisfaction between POS, trust and turnover intention. A sample of 281 is taken from the banking sector. Convenience Sampling is used. The scales are taken from earlier research and confirmed for validity & reliability. Eight hypotheses are explored. Data is analyzed through descriptive statistics and multiple regression. Results indicated that POS positively affected trust and job satisfaction, so did trust on job satisfaction. POS, trust and job satisfaction negatively affected turnover intention and the results are consistent with previous researches. Job satisfaction performed as partial mediator between POS and turnover intention; trust and turnover intention. The study is useful but also suffers from some limitations. This study was done on banking sector so it can only apply to banking sector. Other sector like education and health sector were missing. Time was limited, sample size was not too big. The findings of this study shows the importance of POS, trust and job satisfaction in affecting turnover intention in banking sector. For minimizing turnover intention mangers in this sector must consider these indicators. The research for the relation among said variables has been abundant in past, but in this area the research is still lacking so the gap is still there.

Published: November 2018

The aim of the study was to investigate the preferred learning styles of undergraduate Saudi students at King Khalid University, Saudi Arabia and to examine the influence of achievement level on the choice of learning styles. A total of 110 undergraduate students participated in the study. They were in their third year of study and were majoring in English. Data was collected by means of a questionnaire and by an English achievement test. Reid’s (1987) questionnaire was used to determine the students’ preferred learning styles. It identifies six learning styles referred to as perceptual learning styles; they are visual learners, auditory learners, kinesthetic learners, tactile learners, group learners and individual learners. An English achievement test was conducted to classify students according to their academic grade. The results showed the preferred learning styles used by undergraduate Saudi students at KKU. The order of the preferred learning styles based on sensory channels was as follows: visual, tactile, kinesthetic and finally the least frequent one was auditory, furthermore, the results revealed that students prefer individual learning more than group learning. Besides that, the findings also indicated that there was no statistically significant relationship between the learning styles and achievement level except with the group learning style which was used by students who got grade Excellent or Very Good. The study concluded by providing some possible implications of the study for English teachers.

On Dramatic Narrative in Caryl Churchill’s Vinegar Tom
Authors: Bi Fengshan
Published: November 2018

Caryl Churchill, in Vinegar Tom, discloses the social plight of marginalized and powerless women through her innovative theatrical methods. The episodic scenes, coupled with cross-cast doubling and contemporary songs, contribute to the formation of a plurality of theatrical implication. Churchill’s experimentation with dramatic narrative, which ingeniously interweaves with feminist theory and gender politics, represents her attempt to explore the possibilities of a feminist aesthetic. The play challenges the dominant versions of witchcraft history as constructed by patriarchy, and simultaneously, points out the continuing impact of gender constrictions on women in contemporary society. Churchill’s commitment to social injustice requires the use of innovative theatrical forms.
