Tráfico de pessoas e trabalho forçado: Uma sinergia negativa
Authors: Da Silva Waldimeiry Corrêa 
Published: June 2016

O presente artigo visa discutir a sinergia negativa existente entre o Tráfico de pessoas para fins de exploração sexual e o trabalho forçado, representando uma forma manifesta de forma contemporânea de escravidão. Partimos de uma concepção humanista de salvaguarda dos direitos humanos na sociedade mediante as condições para o exercício do trabalho digno, no qual acreditamos permitir a emancipação do indivíduo em sociedade. Diante do exposto, teremos como fundamento uma perspectiva emancipatória e crítica desde a humanização do direito internacional dos direitos humanos de modo a alcançar a proteção da dignidade humana como eixo motor dos direitos humanos. Dignidade esta que representa a possibilidade de autodeterminação do ser humano, e a potestade de ter uma vida plena, com direito à integridade física e psíquica que venha permitir a auto realização social e individual da pessoa em um marco de um estado social de direito. Palavras chave: Tráfico de pessoas. Trabalho forçado. Forma contemporânea de escravidão. Exploração sexual. Dignidade humana.
O COMPORTAMENTO DIANTE DO PARADIGMA BEHAVIORISTA RADICAL
Authors: Carrara Kester , Zilio Diego 
Published: July 2016

A questão da definição de comportamento frequenta a literatura científica de diversas áreas do conhecimento há mais de um século, sem que os pesquisadores tenham estabelecido acordo sobre aspectos fundamentais envolvidos no tema. As principais discussões estão vinculadas à identificação ou não do termo com atividade, ação, relação, evento e interação. Este artigo recupera parte do contexto histórico de evolução do termo, aponta implicações derivadas de se optar por alguma dentre as principais definições disponíveis e elabora um cenário analítico que – espera-se – possa contribuir com a comunidade de analistas do comportamento para realizar escolhas consistentemente contextualizadas de uma definição de comportamento especialmente direcionada ao âmbito do comportamento operante tal como formulado pelo Behaviorismo Radical. Palavras-chave: comportamento; behaviorismo; análise do comportamento.
FILOSOFIA COM A TERCEIRA IDADE A PARTIR DO CUIDADO DE SI: UMA ABERTURA AO SER EM SI
Authors: Silva Alex Sander da , Azeredo Jéferson Luís , Oliveira Paula De 
Published: July 2016

<p>O presente artigo pretende fazer uma incursão reflexiva sobre o tema do cuidado de si na aproximação entre o conhecimento de filosofia de Martin Heidegger e Michel Foucault. Aqui pretende-se fazer uma reflexão sobre o que é a filosofia e seu papel nos contextos atuais, particularmente, em espaços não comuns da reflexão filosófica, a saber, grupos de pessoas idosas. Desse modo, num primeiro momento, traçamos algumas dimensões fundamentais do conhecimento filosófico de Heidegger, entendido como um saber crítico do pensar e agir humanos. Num segundo momento, destacamos o tema na perspectiva de Foucault num significado do cuidado e cultivo de si. Ambas discussões norteiam as configurações do projeto de extensão “A filosofia vai à terceira idade”, cujo principal objetivo se configura em proporcionar uma alternativa para se pensar uma aproximação entre o conhecimento filosófico com pessoas idosas.</p>
Challenges and encouraging educational practices: Observations from field experiences
Authors: Mebratu Belete 
Published: June 2016

This study is an analysis of the reported observations of teacher candidates about the challenges and encouraging practices at schools following their field experiences visits required to meet course work and licensure for teaching. The findings of the study indicate that the participants of the study observed that classroom teachers face the challenges of too much workload, meeting the needs of too many students who need support, lack of resources, classroom management, changes of curriculum and policies, and meeting the needs of diverse students. The candidates, however, are encouraged by their observations of the use and applications of a wide variety of instructional approaches, the prevalence of a culture of a community of learners and co-operations, discipline systems, applications of technology and inspiring teachers’ professionalism and commitment to make differences in the lives of their students. Ways of addressing the observed challenges include measures of providing support staff and assistants to the classroom teacher, supplying classrooms with adequate resources, efforts to involve parents and guardians in the education of their children and in the affairs of schools, refocusing teacher education programs on those reported areas of challenges classroom teachers face, and ongoing in-service trainings and professional development programs for teachers.
Islamic Identity in the Canadian Multicultural Context
Authors: Omar Abdullah A. 
Published: June 2016

This paper aims to explore aspects of Islamic identities in the Canadian multicultural context. It argues that Islamic identities face challenges in the Canadian liberal multicultural context, largely because multiculturalism in Canada was initially designed for well-integrated European ethnic groups and it may not have been intended to foster Islamic identity. Further, some Muslims have a significant problem with a multiculturalism that marginalizes religious beliefs and values in favor of secular inclusiveness. The paper presents the core elements of Islamic identities as well as the challenges of external pressures. It notes that while Islamic identities are anchored firmly on the concept of Ummah, Muslims may develop multiple affinities, which adds another dimension to the Canadian mosaic. The paper recommends accommodating faith communities, including Muslims meaningfully. It invites Muslims to join the multicultural conversation with a genuine Islamic voice. Further, it encourages the Muslim community to respond to the negative image effectively.
An Analysis Of The Position Of Assistant Principal Of The Year In Indiana: An Analysis Of What Is Really Important
Authors: Mercer Stephen D. 
Published: July 2016

This work is an analysis of the alignment between schools associated with an Indiana Assistant Principal of the Year, as selected by the Indiana Association of School Principals, and increases in academic performance of those schools on state mandated “high stakes” academic tests. The focus was on school improvement using annual school report card data. Using a design looking for association and a Chi Square analysis, a significant positive correlation was identified. The results shed some light on the potential excellent practices of assistant-principals and student academic achievement gains. Although a positive correlation was found, the results can only give ideas for leadership consideration. They are not considered predictive because of the ex-post facto nature of the data allowing for no manipulation of variables.
Mobile Technology Risk Management
Authors: Sahd Lize-Marie , Rudman Riaan 
Published: July 2016

Mobile technology is fast becoming an indispensable part of consumers’ lives and an essential business tool in improving productivity, streamlining business processes and remaining competitive. The mobile revolution is transforming business operations, but the pervasive nature of mobile technology also introduces new and significant risks into all areas of the businesses. In most businesses, however, the governance of mobile technology and its related risks is often disjointed and implemented in an ad hoc manner, resulting in all risks not being addressed. This lack of appropriate governance policies and procedures is a direct consequence of a lack of understanding of the technology and the speed at which new technologies are developed and adopted. If the risks are not addressed in a comprehensive manner, it could have severe consequences for a business. The objective of this research is to address this problem by using an appropriate control framework, Control Objectives for Information Technology (COBIT), to identify a comprehensive set of internal controls to address mobile technology risks at a governance, management and operational level. The research proposes a comprehensive set of internal controls which can be used by those charged with governance to manage each significant risk arising from the implementation of mobile technology.

Published: July 2016

The research was to investigate actual factors affecting tourist satisfaction to the tourist services provider industry. The conceptual framework was developed from the literature review and survey in the area, and other contemporaneous research in tourism marketing. Accordingly, the researchers consider the importance of the factors of trust, personnel relationship, services quality, facility quality, and tourist satisfaction.In this the researchers employed the quantitative research approaches. The instruments of research were steps of a questionnaire. Data were collected from 395 foreign people who come as tourists to Thailand. The data collected were analyzed using the path modeling and on the basis of observing the actual tourist satisfaction of the organizations studied through all operational links in the supply chain.Findings are as follows: Applications of trust, personnel relationship, services quality and facility quality were explanatory of the variance in tourist satisfaction at 44.6 percent (R2 = 0.446). Each factor involves significant aspects with the total being 25. All aspects should be addressed if problems are to be successfully solved over the long haul.
The role of trust in cooperation between farmers – the outcomes of a survey in Békés county
Authors: Takács István , Takácsné György Katalin , Baranyai Zsolt 
Published: June 2016

Local socio-economic cooperation arrangements can contribute to the development of adequate solutions which can compensate the negative impacts of globalization. One of the specific areas is agriculture. Capital-intensive technology is the key element in the competitiveness and viability of firms. The present paper reviews the factors affecting the joint machine use arrangements of agricultural producers, with special regard to the role of trust. The questions of trust are examined in two dimensions: contractual and competence trust. On the basis of the survey carried out among farmers a positive connection was detected between the level of trust and the farmers’ activity in cooperation arrangements. Our results also pointed out that the trust needed in different areas of cooperation is very different. The experiences indicate a tendency, according to which contractual trust is more important in intensive cooperation arrangements which result in higher dependence, while competency trust is more emphasized in more extensive solutions.

Objetivo: identificar o perfil dos idosos portadores de HIV/AIDS (Vírus da Imunodeficiência Humana/ Síndrome da Imunodeficiência Adquirida), do município de Divinópolis-MG, em tratamento no Serviço de Assistência Especializada (SAE). Método: tratou-se de um estudo descritivo de abordagem quantitativa e análise absoluta e relativa dos dados. Foram coletados dados dos pacientes através de um instrumento estruturado, composto por nove perguntas sobre o perfil dos idosos com HIV. Resultados: mostraram que a maioria era do sexo masculino, tinha vida sexual ativa, usava preservativos e a escolaridade predominante foi o ensino fundamental. Quanto à forma de transmissão do HIV, eles acreditavam se contaminar pelo beijo na boca, pela picada do mosquito e da mãe para o bebê através do leite materno. Em relação ao grupo de risco, com um alto índice percentual de resposta, os idosos negaram fazer parte deste grupo. Na avaliação sobre campanhas de prevenção destinada ao público idoso, referiram desconhecer tal ação. Conclusão: o estudo demonstrou que os idosos com HIV em tratamento no Serviço de Assistência Especializada (SAE) de Divinópolis/MG apresentam lacunas no conhecimento quanto ao grupo de risco e formas de transmissão do HIV/AIDS.
The correlation between structure and β-nucleation efficiency of Ba, Sr, Ca and Mg pimelates in isotactic polypropylene
Authors: Janevski Aco , Bogoeva-Gaceva Gordana , Stefov Viktor , Najdoski Metodija 
Published: July 2016

<p>The pimelates of the earth-alkaline elements and pimelic acid have been synthesized and studied. All prepared pimelates are crystallohydrates and Ba and Sr pimelates are isotypic. The obtained compounds have been characterized using infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction, and it was found that, near and above the melting temperature of polypropylene, the pimelates of Ba and Sr are crystalline, whereas the ones of Ca and Mg are amorphous. The nucleation activity of these pimelates has been studied in the process of crystallization of polypropylene in non-isothermal conditions and followed by differential scanning calorimetry (at cooling rate <em>V</em><sub>c </sub>= 1–20 K min<sup>–1</sup>). It was found that their nucleation activity, even at concentration of 0.1 %, differs considerably with regards to the cooling rate, and they induce different polymorphic composition of the polymer. The nucleation activity was mostly exhibited by Ca pimelate, and when it was used the content of the β crystalline phase (<em>U</em><sub>β</sub>) in polypropylene ranged from 0.90 to 0.94, depending on the cooling rate, compared to 0.18–0.35 when Mg pimelate was used. In the polymer crystallized by using Ba and Sr pimelate as nucleators, <em>U</em><sub>β</sub> ranged from 0.47 to 0.77. Based on the theoretical concepts for nucleation activity of solid substrates, an attempt was made to correlate the structurаl features of the synthesized pimelates with their β-nucleation activity in the process of nonisothermal crystallization of iPP.</p>
Diasporescence in rubies from Prilep dolomitic marble
Authors: Jeršek Miha 
Published: July 2016

Rubies from the Prilep dolomitic marble contain numerous diaspore inclusions, resulting from oriented intergrowth with corundum. In the world of gemstones, this phenomenon has been recognized as diasporescence, which has to date been researched only in the cases of corundum crystals from Macedonia. The paper describes the importance of diasporescence for the appearance and thus the quality of rubies, in which the inclusions of diaspore are also a distinctive character for the determination of the origin of this renowned gemstone. Diaspore is colourless to white and affect on intensity of red to pink colour of ruby as a gem. Macedonian rubies are the only rubies from around the world with inclusions of diaspore and that´s why also the only rubies with optical phenomena diasporescence.
IR analysis of the carboxylate forms in structurally determined [CuII(κ3-L)2] species isolated from different acidic solutions
Authors: Kozlevčar Bojan , Počkaj Marta , Kitanovski Nives 
Published: July 2016

Several copper(II) coordination compounds with the tridentate κ<sup>3</sup>-<em>N,N,O</em> bisligand (L = bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)acetate or its molecular acid form HL = Hbdmpza) were synthesized from different starting metal salts in appropriate acidic water solutions as reported. The XRD single crystal structural analysis reveals neutral acidic ligand form in [Cu(HL)<sub>2</sub>]·2(HSO<sub>4</sub>) (<strong>1</strong>) and [Cu(HL)<sub>2</sub>]·2Cl (<strong>2</strong>), while ionic in [Cu(L)<sub>2</sub>]·(CH<sub>3</sub>COOH)·(H<sub>2</sub>O) (<strong>3</strong>), and [Cu(L)<sub>2</sub>]·2(H<sub>2</sub>O) (<strong>4</strong>). The molecular structures of <strong>2</strong> and <strong>3 </strong>are first reported herein, thus enabling a clearer insight for the IR - structural analysis. Two carboxylate C-O bond lengths ranges, namely differing 1.29/1.22 Ǻ for <strong>2</strong>, and the same 1.24/1.24 Ǻ for <strong>3</strong>, respectively, are in agreement with the single(longer)/double(shorter) character of both bonds for the neutral carboxylic HL in <strong>2</strong>, and the same character of both bonds for the carboxylate anionic L<sup>-</sup> in <strong>3</strong>, as seen for the related <strong>1 </strong>(HL) and <strong>4 </strong>(L<sup>-</sup>). The most distinguished IR spectra difference for the molecular (HL) / ionic (L<sup>-</sup>) is at the 1700 cm<sup>-1</sup> carboxylate band. The C=O free ligand (HL) double bond position at 1740 cm<sup>-1</sup> is most similar with 1702 cm<sup>-1</sup> in <strong>1</strong>,<strong> </strong>while a split band at 1697, 1665 cm<sup>-1</sup> is seen for <strong>2</strong>. On the other hand, the anionic asymmetric carboxylate stretching IR band (<strong>`</strong>n<sub>as</sub>(COO<sup>−</sup>)) for <strong>3</strong> (1642 cm<sup>-1</sup>) and <strong>4 </strong>(1635 cm<sup>-1</sup>) is found at lower energy region. Thus, the additional band within the same region, as seen only for <strong>3 </strong>at 1716 cm<sup>-1</sup>, is assigned to the network neutral acetic acid C=O double bond.
Minerals from Macedonia. XXVIII. A tribute to academician Gligor Jovanovski
Authors: Šoptrajanov Bojan 
Published: July 2016

<p>It is both rewarding and difficult to write a review article about the contributions of acade­mician Gligor Jovanovski to the study of minerals from Macedonia.</p><p>It is rewarding because these contributions are exceptional scientifically and, in addition, serve as a clear sign for the existence of a country named, despite denials from some quarters, Macedonia or, more fully, Republic of Macedonia.</p><p>On the other hand, it is difficult to briefly summarize the content of over 50 scientific papers, published mainly in distinguished international journals and cited many, many times in the scientific literature.</p><p>Since this review article is published in the present special issue dedicated to academician Gligor Jovanovski, accepting the challenge I now try my best to give the reader a fair presentation of the content of the papers on minerals from Macedonia and a deserved tribute to their author.</p><p>It should be noted that the work on the minerals from Macedonia does not cover all research interests of academician Jovanovski and that the reviewed papers deal with studies in several scientific fields. The early papers dedicated to the study of minerals from Macedonia are spectroscopic in nature (at first by conventional infrared spectroscopy and later enriched by the use of Raman and FT IR spectroscopy). Such a state of matters is a natural consequence of the availability of spectroscopic equipment, on the one hand, and the active spectroscopic work at the Institute of Chemistry of the Faculty of Science, on the other. Needless to say, a number of co-workers from the Institute of chemistry actively participated throughout in the studies by academician Jovanovski as may be seen in the list of references given below. </p><p>Without having X-ray diffraction instrumentation on hands, Jovanovski devoted a respectable portion of his research of minerals to crystallographic (X-ray) studies. Clearly, such studies would not have been possible without the open-handed cooperation of researchers from Zagreb and Uppsala and the perseverance of Jovanovski himself. </p>As the instrumental basis of the Institute of Chemistry grew and diversified and as an active research practice using the corresponding techniques took place, in his portfolio Jovanovski included the work with atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) atomic emission spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma (AES–ICP) and neutron activation analysis. Again, some of these studies were carried out in cooperation with researchers from institutions where the corresponding equipment was available.
Lifelong Learning in Institutions of Higher Education
Authors: Nesbit Tom , Dunlop Catherine , Gibson Lorraine 
Published: June 2016

In this study, we examined the provision and development of lifelong learning within institutions of higher education in British Columbia and explored some of the institutional characteristics that enable or discourage it. The results suggest that most lifelong learning opportunities are directed toward enhancing employment and career opportunities rather than citizenship development. Yet, as the demand for higher education and the number of adult learners enrolling in programs continue to increase, these institutions are well-positioned to develop new forms of education that acknowledge, accommodate, and respect the concerns and interests of lifelong learners.
About Us: Expressing the Purpose of University Continuing Education in Canada
Authors: McLean Scott 
Published: June 2016

This article explores claims made on websites of CAUCE members about the purpose of university continuing education. CAUCE members often claim a role in addressing the needs or goals of learners seeking professional development, personal enrichment, or the furthering of knowledge and skills. They claim to deliver programs and services that promote lifelong learning for adults, whether as individuals or as members of communities and organizations. These programs and services are characterized as enabling access to quality education in flexible and innovative ways. The work of continuing education is often presented as a means to link universities with communities and with external agencies. This article describes these public claims made by Canadian university continuing education units and endeavours to promote informed reflection and dialogue about the purpose of those units.
The Role and Impact of Continuing Education on Rural Revitalization: A Case Study
Authors: Miller Marilyn 
Published: June 2016

This article presents the findings of a study that explored the role and impact of continuing education on rural revitalization. A community development approach, academic expertise, and a university’s resources were used to assist the citizens of Montmartre, Saskatchewan, to establish Centre 48, an arts and continuing education centre. Courses provided by Centre 48 gave townspeople and people from the surrounding area opportunities to explore new interests and to develop new social networks; in turn, the social capital gained by establishing and operating Centre 48 gave rise to new economic ventures. The results of this study illustrate how university continuing education units can contribute to capacity building in rural communities and how such social capital-building projects can serve as a catalyst for economic development.
