Reciclagem de resíduos do setor têxtil e confeccionista no Brasil:

O Brasil se configura como um dos maiores produtores mundiais do setor têxtil e vestuário. É um importante produtor da fibra de algodão, de fios, de tecidos planos e de malha, além de estimular o PIB do País gerando milhões de empregos diretos e indiretos no referido setor. Contudo, tal atividade cria diversos problemas ambientais como, por exemplo, a geração de resíduos sólidos oriundos dos processos industriais, confeccionistas e também do pós-consumo. O presente estudo visou apresentar o panorama atual dessa problemática e apontar possibilidades de reciclagem têxtil. Como metodologia, foram analisadas literatura científica, patentes, legislação e outras fontes bibliográficas, bem como foram consultadas informações de diferentes órgãos e instituições relacionadas ao setor têxtil, confeccionista e meio ambiente. Além disso, foram analisadas manualmente amostras de resíduos têxteis cedidas por uma indústria recicladora a fim de constatar algumas problemáticas referentes ao processamento desse material. Assim, apresenta-se um panorama sobre a reciclagem têxtil no Brasil, relacionando as principais problemáticas ligadas a essa atividade, ainda não muito estimulada em nível nacional.

A Universal Animal Welfare Framework for Zoos

The Detroit Zoological Society's (DZS) Center for Zoo Animal Welfare (CZAW) was created to advance the science and policy of the welfare of exotic nonhuman animals in captivity. This important part of the DZS mission is achieved through assessments of, and research on, the welfare of animals in zoos; by recognizing extraordinary achievement in the advancement of animal welfare; by widely sharing knowledge through a bibliographic resource center; by conducting professional training for animal care staff; and by convening important discussions in the form of international symposia. This special issue of the Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science features selected papers from the most recent international CZAW symposium held at the Detroit Zoo in November 2014, as well as a universal framework for zoo animal welfare developed by the DZS.

Disambiguating Author Names

For the first installment of the new column, “Problem Solved!,” coedited by Kelly Smith and Scott Vieira, Vieira provides the first of two columns that will look into the nature of the problem surrounding author identity and how ORCID, a registry for author identifiers, may help resolve this challenge for researchers, publishers, and other institutions. Author identity remains a challenging problem for systems tasked with managing and analyzing bibliographical resources. Additionally, researchers and research institutions need more effective tools to manage their own scholarly production.

The Development of Azerbaijan Bibliography in the late XIX - early XX century

The article investigates an important stage in the development of Azerbaijan bibliography at the end of XIX - the beginning of XX century. It was a period of rapid development of book publishing, periodicals issuing, development of scientific and professional societies in Azerbaijan. All that processes were accompanied by the development of bibliographic activities. In the latter half of the XIX century there took place intensive accumulation of Oriental manuscripts and printed sources in the Russian cultural centers, particularly in St. Peterburg, Moscow and Kazan. A lot of valuable culture and art objects came to Russia from Azerbaijan. Despite the significant advance in the development of bibliographic resources of Azerbaijan, the work on their formation did not become a systematic activity. It was caused primarily by the lack of state policy in that area. There was also lack of the potential personnel, engaged in library and bibliografic activities at the professional level.

Florescence of Revolution in Shafaq’s Poetry

Blossoms of Persian poetry, although inspired by the pure nature, gradually took the attractive qualities of mysticism. In traditions, the Holy Quran is called the burgeoning of hearts and the greatest prophet (peace be upon him) is referred to as the burgeoning of souls. Spring in Persian literature is sometimes the symbol of improvement and deliverance and at other times is considered as the symbol of the afterlife. Actually, this is the highest symbol of spring in Persian literature.Desert land of Yazd bears fragrant flowers, in spite of its natural wrath, tickles the taste of souls of the pious people. One of these scented flowers is the deceased Behjati whose pen name is “Shafaq” and spring in his poetry possessed the qualities of revolution. Current study is going to address this concept in his poetry. The article was conducted with an analytical-descriptive method using bibliographic resources.

مسيرة الحضارةِ الإسلاميةِ التركيةِ في الأناضولِ بين الماضي والحاضر

<p>Abstract</p><p>This study endeavours to ascertain the bibliographical resources which the Anatolian Turks, an important component of Islamic history and civilization, have been nourished. Meanwhile it holds the style of civilization which they have constructed according to the course of these sources. Turks, after embracing Islam had used Persian and then Arabic as language of science. However most of the people who knew Turkish only, had formed their religious feelings through easy and brief texts which are easy to read and understand. In the Seljukids' era the books such as Hamzanamah, Hz. Ali'nin Cenkleri (The Battles of the Caliph Ali) and Battalnamah had been publicly read while in the Ottomans' era the people had read the books such as Mızraklı İlmihal (a book explaning principles of Islam), Ahmadiyah, Muhammadiyah. Great masses of people had composed intellectual and moral values by means of these books. This article strives to analyse how Anatolian people who repeatedly read the said texts over centuries through secondary institutions of culture which built itself. In the study descriptive analyze method is adopted.</p>

Public Library Evaluation: A Retrospective on the Evolution of Measurement Systems

This article aims to provide a historical and contemporary perspective on how public libraries establish indicators for measuring success, using the Free Library of Philadelphia as a focus of analysis. From the 1970s though the late 1980s, libraries focused on measuring internal statistics, such as bibliographic resources, to communicate the strength of their collection. Within the past twenty years, libraries have shifted their measurement structures toward outward performance in the communities they serve. The challenge today for libraries such as the Free Library is to establish structured formats for guiding community plans for their particular library and establishing agreed-on measures. Simultaneously, these structures need to incorporate ongoing evaluation methods.

The Indian Economic Miracle and the Commercial and Cultural-Scientific Relations with Romania

In this article, the author explains the use of the phrase 'Indian economic miracle' in relation to the latest economic performance of this country, with particular focus on the formula (model) that turned out to be successful. Its main feature consists in the Indian macro-policymaker's orientation towards the domestic market rather than towards exports, towards consumption rather than investments, towards services - and not so much towards industry-with specific focus on the 'high-tech' sector. The recent parameters of the Indian economy are also mentioned, based on reliable statistical data and information, followed by an analysis of the regulatory framework, the history (a 66- year-old tradition) and the characteristics of the commercial, cultural and scientific relations with a member state of the European Union - Romania. Based on the conducted research and after resorting to various bibliographical resources, the author believes that the Indian government rightfully contemplates the perspective of becoming an economic super-power in the South Asian region, thus being acknowledged by the whole world.

Information literacy and peer-to-peer infrastructures: An autopoietic perspective

This article argues that an autopoietic perspective of human communities would allow to understand societies as self-organized systems and thus promote information literacy as a facilitator of social development. Peer-to-peer (P2P) social dynamics generate public information available worldwide in digital repositories, websites and bibliographic resources. However, processing such amount of data is not achievable by a single central-controlled system. We claim that distributed and heterogeneous networks of coordinated mechanisms, composed by both specialized human and artificial agents, are needed to improve information retrieval, knowledge inference and decision-making, but also to produce social value, goods and services. Handling these issues implies the collective construction of global semantic networks but also the active labor of knowledge producers and consumers. We conclude that information literacy is as much important as any technical implementation and, therefore, may lead to networks of Commons-oriented communities which would utilize P2P infrastructures.

Vernacular translation in Renaissance France, Spain, Portugal and Britain: a comparative survey

Vernacular translations have, largely, failed to feature in our geography of the Renaissance book. This is a consequence both of our inclination towards a teleological approach to understanding past cultures as well as the priority we have placed on national narratives. Yet, if cultural communities experienced their own particular histories and developments, they were also interconnected. Within the book world, Latin allowed ideas to cross virtually all linguistic boundaries, while vernacular multilingualism was by no means uncommon. Printed vernacular translations, too, played a fundamental part in the complex and vibrant pattern of intellectual exchange. Reconstructing with any accuracy the importation of Latin or non‐indigenous vernacular texts into any given region is problematic beyond small snapshots of individual collections or booksellers' inventories. Vernacular translations, on the other hand, have left a far more robust record, offering our best opportunity to understand both the depth and nature of interest in other cultures, as well as how ideas were adapted and absorbed. Exploiting recent bibliographical resources, this article examines this surviving record by looking broadly at patterns of vernacular translation in three regions: the Iberian Peninsula, France, and the British Isles. It demonstrates an extraordinary communicative vitality – vernacular translations were highly visible in the early modern marketplace of print. Yet, beyond a common impulse to translate, it is clear that each region exhibited its own very particular tastes and appetites.

A recommender agent based on learning styles for better virtual collaborative learning experiences

Almost unlimited access to educational information plethora came with a drawback: finding meaningful material is not a straightforward task anymore. Based on a survey related to how students find additional bibliographical resources for university courses, we concluded there is a strong need for recommended learning materials, for specialized online search and for personalized learning tools. As a result, we developed an educational collaborative filtering recommender agent, with an integrated learning style finder. The agent produces two types of recommendations: suggestions and shortcuts for learning materials and learning tools, helping the learner to better navigate through educational resources. Shortcuts are created taking into account only the user’s profile, while suggestions are created using the choices made by the learners with similar learning styles. The learning style finder assigns to each user a profile model, taking into account an index of learning styles, as well as patterns discovered in the virtual behavior of the user. The current study presents the agent itself, as well as its integration to a virtual collaborative learning environment and its success and limitations, based on users’ feedback.

Gameplay, Visualization, and Collaboration in RefScape, A Bibliographic Management Tool

While many projects start out with the intention to use collaborative tools such as Wikis or communal workspaces, many have difficulty sustaining their usage over time. With this in mind, we created RefScape in order to manage bibliographic resources among multiple researchers and increase motivation through game-based strategies.

Multi-entity models of resource description in the Semantic Web

Purpose – The 1998 International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA) document “Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records” (FRBR) has inspired a family of models that view bibliographic resources in terms of multiple entities differentiated with regard to meaning, expression, and physicality. The purpose of this paper is to compare how three FRBR and FRBR-like models have been expressed as Semantic Web vocabularies based on Resource Description Framework (RDF). The paper focusses on IFLA’s own vocabulary for FRBR; RDF vocabularies for Resource Description and Access (RDA), an emergent FRBR-based standard for library cataloging; and BIBFRAME, an emergent FRBR-like, native-RDF standard for bibliographic data. Design/methodology/approach – Simple test records using the RDF vocabularies were analyzed using software that supports inferencing. Findings – In some cases, what the data actually means appears to differ from what the vocabulary developers presumably intended to mean. Data based on the FRBR vocabulary appears particularly difficult to integrate with data based on different models. Practical implications – Some of the RDF vocabularies reviewed in the paper could usefully be simplified, enabling libraries to integrate their data more easily into the wider information ecosystem on the Web. Requirements for data consistency and quality control could be met by emergent standards of the World Wide Web Consortium for validating RDF data according to integrity constraints. Originality/value – There are few such comparisons of the RDF expressions of these models, which are widely assumed to represent the future of library cataloging.

Acciones privadas en la construcción de un destino turístico. Alojamientos boutique en Purmamarca, provincia de Jujuy, Argentina

La localidad de Purmamarca, emplazada en Quebrada de Humahuaca (Patrimonio de la Humanidad, UNESCO, 2003), provincia de Jujuy, Argentina, ha experimentado una transformación vertiginosa desde fines del siglo XX. Este proceso se relaciona intrínsecamente con la promoción turística generada por la Nación y la provincia y por diferentes operadores privados a escala regional y nacional, que tuvo en esta localidad de poco más de 800 habitantes, uno de los principales polos de desarrollo. Si bien sigue siendo una aglomeración con una escasa población estable, el perfil ha cambiado considerablemente, reorientándose desde la agricultura campesina con una baja productividad hacia un centro recreativo y de descanso para turistas procedente de las grandes ciudades del país. Este artículo forma parte de una serie de trabajos que vienen publicando los autores, interesados por analizar las transformaciones materiales y culturales que se están generando tanto en Purmamarca como en la Quebrada de Humahuaca, con particular interés en aquellos procesos asociados al sector turístico. En esta ocasión, el objetivo es describir el desarrollo de los nuevos alojamientos que influyeron en la transformación de Purmamarca y analizar sus vinculaciones con algunas de las nuevas tendencias internacionales en el sector hotelero. Para ello se recurrió al estudio de las características y evolución de los alojamientos turísticos de Purmamarca, utilizando diversas fuentes, como sitios web de alojamientos y de la autoridad provincial de turismo, folletería turística, información recolectada a través de relevamientos in situ y entrevistas, información estadística y bibliografía sobre la temática. De la investigación se desprende que el crecimiento en la cantidad de establecimientos turísticos desde comienzos de la década de 2000 ha sido muy elevado para este pequeño pueblo. Estos alojamientos se caracterizan por una capacidad reducida, un trato personalizado, la oferta de servicios exclusivos, y están dirigidos a un público selecto, siendo muchos de ellos identificados como hoteles boutique. Estos establecimientos marcan su impronta en Purmamarca y participan en los procesos de transformación del pueblo.
