Although both the practical and philosophical roots of modem public administration rise from the Egyptian and Chinese dynasties, as from the Greek polis and Roman imperium, the academic discipline of public administration has to a large extent developed directly pursuant to Wilson's Study of Administration. The use of films as teaching tools enriches teaching by framing pedagogic content in ways that enable students to discover the relationship of academic concepts to their own life experience. To use movies and other popular art forms as tools for teaching, and to invite students to explore them as tools for learning, is a risky venture. It requires that academicians move away from the forms of communication at which we tend to excel to those in which we also become students. But isn't this what real teaching is about?

This chapter explores the relationship of U.S. defense management to public administration. It argues that public administration, as a field of study, plays a minor role in defense acquisition, because acquisition has unique characteristics that separate it from the mainstream of the field. The tenuous connections between acquisition and public administration have led to an issue of academic legitimacy in that the discipline has failed to respond to the needs of acquisition professionals. The chapter then presents a discussion and illustration of philosophical pragmatism as a potential contribution of administrative theory to acquisition practice, and it concludes with thoughts on the potential for acquisition to adopt pragmatism as a guiding way for thought and practice.

This study aims to understand the relationship of non-commercial Digital Marketing in Public Administration and the promotion of social participation in public management through social media. Despite the federal legislation establishing mechanisms for the participation of the population, such as consultations and public hearings, social media is gaining more and more space in our lives as a tool for communication, debate and exchange. Marketing 4.0 integrates offline and online, highlighting the importance of user participation during the development process of a particular product or service, which directs us to participatory public management and the development of more efficient and effective public policies . However, even though the use of social media as a tool for social participation and engagement in political discussions is growing, it cannot be confirmed whether this participation actually influences the development of public and social policies. To understand this relationship, a bibliographic review was carried out, complemented with a documentary research with the objective of discussing the theme.

The article focuses on identifying and describing some aspects of the psychological characteristics of the relationship between personality resilience and the subjective feeling of loneliness in adolescence. Resilience is understood as a person’s ability to adapt and be effective, to function successfully despite the influence of any external factors, to survive and develop. Resilience is presented as the ability to recover from setbacks, to rely on the gained life experience for your personal growth and self-realization. An empirical study has shown that there is a strong inverse statistically significant relationship between the phenomenon of vitality and the subjective feeling of loneliness in adolescents. The experimental (correctional and developmental) work carried out was effective, as it influenced the development of the participants’ resilience. The emphasis in correctional and developmental work was placed on the discovery and activation of the development of resources for self-care, a positive self-concept, positive self-attitude, forward thinking, and the ability for long-term planning, the ability to cope, reflexive and communication skills and abilities, the ability to establish and develop connections with other people. The experimental work can be considered quite effective, since, according to the research participants, they began to cope with the negative aspects of loneliness, difficult life situations, became more positive and stable better.

O termo analfabetismo ambiental surgiu na conferência RIO-92 após destacarem a necessidade da implementação de um modelo sustentável que determinasse a relação das pessoas com os problemas ambientais, a fim de formar cidadãos comprometidos com as questões socioambientais. Neste contexto, a pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar o analfabetismo ambiental acerca da percepção dos docentes e discentes do Ensino Médio no município de Guaraí-TO, buscando identificar esse possível analfabetismo. Para o desenvolvimento deste trabalho foram utilizados recursos que auxiliassem nos levantamentos de dados, possibilitando uma visão mais clara desse analfabetismo por parte de professores e alunos. Através do uso de questionário e observações com o intuito de descrever as características dos entrevistados, foi possível perceber entre os professores uma visão predominantemente globalizada, ressaltando a relação homem-natureza e entre os alunos prevaleceu uma visão antropocêntrica, evidenciando a natureza como fonte de recursos para a sobrevivência humana. Foi possível perceber que os estudantes e profissionais da educação conhecem os conceitos básicos de ambiente, mas não possuem uma noção clara e objetiva de sua real dimensão, evidenciando o egocentrismo. Com essa análise, será possível traçar estratégias e realizar trabalhos de educação ambiental que possam contribuir para que esta comunidade escolar consiga facilmente compreender a complexidade do tema e as possíveis consequências da degradação ambiental e sociocultural nos dias atuais. Environmental illiteracy: the perception of teachers and students about the environment of a school in the municipality of Guaraí-TO The term environmental illiteracy emerged at the RIO-92 conference after highlighting the need to implement a sustainable model that determines the relationship of people to environmental problems in order to train citizens committed to social and environmental issues. In this context, the research aimed to analyze environmental illiteracy about the perception of teachers and high school students in the municipality of Guaraí-TO, seeking to identify this possible illiteracy. For the development of this work, resources were used to assist in data collection, allowing a clearer view of this possible illiteracy by teachers and students. Through the use of a questionnaire and observations to describe the characteristics of the interviewees, it was possible to perceive among the teachers a predominantly globalized view, emphasizing the relation between man and nature and among the students anthropocentric vision prevailed, evidencing nature as a source of resources for human survival. It was possible to perceive that the students and professionals of the education know the basic concepts of environment, but do not have a clear and objective notion of its real dimension. With this analysis, it will be possible to draw up strategies and carry out environmental education works that can contribute to this school community being able to easily understand the complexity of the theme and the possible consequences of environmental and sociocultural degradation. Key words: Environmental Perception, Illiteracy, Environment and Environmental Education.

"The architectural studies in general dealt with the study of several concepts that have an important role in the design part as well as providing preparation and support of its requirements, procedures, and rules for a variety of aspects and details. The current research directed towards a specified study of the relationship of two influential concepts within the frame-work of architectural design. These concepts are; the method and its relationship to the state of intellectual repercussion with the necessity of introducing, clarifying and defining the general knowledge frameworks for the nature of those rela-tions and the effect of the indicators of that situation with respect to the general knowledge about them. This research is Directed to define the general frameworks of the basic research concepts, which are both the method and the repercussion with other concepts that are influential, design, thought or thinking, to determine the cases of interconnec-tion between them and then to refer these cases to several levels, and to propose the models adopted from the studies and architectural proposals, which will determine the indicators needed to define the situation The correlation between the basic concepts of research (method and repercussion) within the framework of the field of architecture to show that the final out-come refers to the adoption of the repercussion as an instrument or preparation for the benefit of the method within the ar-chitectural design"

This review article charts the general direction of scholarship in James Baldwin studies between the years 2015 and 2016, reflecting on important scholarly events and publications of the period and identifying notable trends in criticism. While these years witnessed a continuing interest in the relationship of Baldwin’s work to other authors and art forms as well as his transnational literary imagination, noted in previous scholarly reviews, three newly emergent trends are notable: an increased attention to Baldwin in journals primarily devoted to the study of literatures in English, a new wave of multidisciplinary studies of Baldwin, and a burgeoning archival turn in Baldwin criticism.

Abstract This article explores the relationship between precarity, waste, and the ragpicker in contemporary Chinese visual culture. It asks first why precarity has come so little and so late to the theoretical scene in China, a society in which precarious experience is so rife as to be almost endemic. The essay then goes on to show how some of China's leading artists now work profusely with refuse—as a core theme of the precarious present—while noting the strange anomaly that their works offer up scant if any space for the figure of the waste picker. The artist, instead, has taken over her mantle as the sifter and sorter of garbage. This missing human figure matters, in part because waste is always about people—and their absence from aesthetic space suggests that art is responding to a felt sense that personhood is coming under assault as basic life sureties fray. But this essay also argues that the garbage takeover is part of a sustained practice of appropriation, effacement, even cruelty in the artistic representation of precarity in China. China's wasteworks are art forms born at the tense interface between different class actors, and they disclose fraught fears over where brittle life experience begins and ends in a society that has tried to eliminate class as a category of political action and analysis.

This essay offers an analysis of the relationship of Sino-Christian theology, a cultural qua theological movement flourishing in contemporary China, with the Bible. Based on a survey of the articles published in Logos & Pneuma: Chinese Journal of Theology (Dao Feng), the organ journal of Sino-Christian theology, and some other relevant publications, it argues that due to the political atmosphere, the institutional restriction, and the intellectual as well as religious orientations of the relevant scholars, Sino-Christian theology had made very limited efforts in developing biblical studies as an academic discipline in mainland China until the mid-2000s or so. Since then, the publications related to biblical studies proliferated dramatically in mainland China, and some approaches to biblical studies with certain Chinese characteristics have been developed. It is expected that some innovative approaches to the Bible as well as biblical studies will be further developed in the Chinese-speaking world.
