The Right

The article theoretically and practically substantiates the necessity of teaching Mapping for Bachelors of Tourism. The cartographic competence of future professionals is closely connected with their professional skills. The specific feature of the cartographic method is that it allows one to visualize the geographic space or any simulated space for studying. Consequently it develops the student’s spatial thinking, and makes both cerebral hemispheres be active. It is known that the right cerebral hemisphere is responsible for the creative feature of the human nature, and the left cerebral hemisphere is responsible for the logic. The essence of the cartographic method is that in the process of researching the reality an intermediate element appears. And the intermediate element is a map the role of which is of two kinds: it is a research tool and the subject of research presented as a model, a prototype of the reality at the same time. The symbolic figurative language of a map develops the abstract thinking about the real prototype. It should be emphasized that maps help specialists to establish new patterns in location and interconnection of phenomena. Understanding of the graphic image of the structure of the geographical space, highlighting the peculiarities of the tourist and recreational component, administrating the tourist and recreational space, designing a regional project for the development of tourism, creating package tours – all these professional skills are immediately related to students’ intellectual-graphic activities, to their abilities to visualize the geospace, to be good at Mapping. In the final part of the article the cartographic competence is defined as an element of the culture of a competent specialist in tourism’s personality.

Education Science

<p>Vocational and Technological Education - EPT, in Brazil, is mainly allocated to the Federal Institutes of Education, Science and Technology. However, some teachers who work in this type of teaching do not have pedagogical training to teach classes in technical education integrated to high school, despite having consistent training in their areas of knowledge. Given this reality, the need for initial and continuing teacher education of teachers working in EFA has been increasing in the host of these institutions and raising academic debates on the subject. As a way to contribute to this theme, this research aimed to investigate the pedagogical formation of teachers from the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Paraíba - IFPB and to understand their social representations about teacher education. The theoretical-methodological path that underpinned this research was the precepts about the Theory of Social Representations of Moscovici (1978; 2015) and other authors, and the use of the theoretical-methodological support of the Central Core Theory (ABRIC, 2001; 2003). The research participants consisted of 100 teachers, ten from each of the ten IFPB campuses selected. Data were collected through the application of the Free Word Association Technique - with the inductive term “teacher training is ...”, as well as a questionnaire and on-site observation, recorded in a field diary. Data treatment was performed through Excel, with systematization of the words evoked in a Spiral of Directions. The combination of theoretical and technical concepts related to the research theme and proposition as well as the results presented shows, in their quantitative and qualitative aspects, that the most shared elements which belonged to the central nucleus of social representations, were fundamental as well as knowledge of intermediate element I. This work not only sought to understand the level of the pedagogical formation of the investigated ones, but also apprehended the process of construction of their social representations. It also pointed alternatives to (re) think a teacher formation concatenated with the yearnings and interests of IFPB teachers.</p>

Intermediate Element

In this investigation a nonlinear total Lagrangian finite element formulation is developed for the dynamic analysis of plates that undergo large rigid body displacements. In this formulation shape functions are required to include rigid body modes that describe only large translational displacements. This does not represent any limitation on the technique presented in this study, since most of commonly used shape functions satisfy this requirement. For each finite plate element an intermediate element coordinate system, whose axes are initially parallel to the axes of the element coordinate system, is introduced. This intermediate element coordinate system, which has an origin which is rigidly attached to the origin of the deformable body, is used for the convenience of describing the configuration of the element with respect to the deformable body coordinate system in the undeformed state. The nonlinear dynamic equations developed in this investigation for the large rigid body displacement and small elastic deformation analysis of the rectangular plates are expressed in terms of a unique set of time invariant element matrices that depend on the assumed displacement field. The invariants of motion of the deformable body discretized using the plate elements are obtained by assembling the invariants of its elements using a standard finite element procedure.

We applied the land-cover cascade (LCC) concept to evaluate whether human disturbance affects crustacean zooplankton community in 13 nutrient-poor lakes of the Laurentian region along a gradient of residential development and land-cover disturbance. Zooplankton biomass responded indirectly to residential disturbances within the watershed based on path analysis. In most LCC models, total phosphorus enrichment was a strong intermediate element linking residential disturbances to increased biomass of small crustaceans ( Bosmina , Ceriodaphnia , and Diaphanosoma ) and Daphnia species ( D. g. mendotae , D. dubia , and D. ambigua ). Zooplanktivory index was also an intermediate element in LCC models of crustacean functional groups and an independent element in daphnid-based LCC models. Low zooplanktivory was associated with higher biomass of large Daphnia ( D. pulicaria and D. catawba ). However, residential disturbance and select environmental factors (phosphate enrichment, zooplanktivory index, lake depth, littoral macrophytes) explained only 42% and 57%, respectively, of among-lake variation in crustacean community and Daphnia assemblages. Variation partitioning analysis suggested that planktivory had a similar or greater influence than human disturbance and phosphate enrichment. Our study improves the knowledge of crustacean zooplankton responses to increasing residential development and land-use disturbances near Canadian Shield lakes.

Isoparametric Elements

In the classical finite element literature beams and plates are not considered as isoparametric elements since infinitesimal rotations are used as nodal coordinates. As a consequence, exact modeling of an arbitrary rigid body displacement cannot be obtained, and rigid body motion does not lead to zero strain. In order to circumvent this problem in flexible multibody simulations, an intermediate element coordinate system, which has an origin rigidly attached to the origin of the deformable body coordinate system and has axes which are parallel to the axes of the element coordinate system in the undeformed configuration was introduced. Using this intermediate element coordinate system and the fact that conventional beam and plate shape functions can describe an arbitrary rigid body translation, an exact modeling of the rigid body inertia can be obtained. The large rigid body translation and rotational displacements can be described using a set of reference coordinates that define the location of the origin and the orientation of the deformable body coordinate system. On the other hand, as demonstrated in this investigation, the incremental finite element formulations do not lead to exact modeling of the spatial rigid body mass moments and products of inertia when the structures move as rigid bodies, and such formulations do not lead to the correct rigid body equations of motion. The correct equations of motion, however, can be obtained if the coordinates are defined in terms of global slopes. Using this new definition of the element coordinates, an absolute nodal coordinate formulation that leads to a constant mass matrix for the element can be developed. Using this formulation, in which no infinitesimal or finite rotations are used as nodal coordinates, beam and plate elements can be treated as isoparametric elements.
