ResumoDiferentes estudos, orientados por abordagens teóricas distintas, buscam compreender as especificidades da Educação a Distância (EAD) e suas aplicações. Assim, faz-se necessário proceder à revisão de artigos brasileiros acerca do tema buscando conhecer o que se sabe e apontar as lacunas existentes na área. Este estudo visou analisar os artigos científicos brasileiros referentes à EAD no período de 2000 a 2009 presentes nas bases de dados BVS-Psi e Scielo. Considerou-se a palavra-chave Educação a Distância e a presença de resumo para o artigo selecionado. Analisaram-se 306 resumos resultantes da busca inicial e apenas 82 destes referiam-se à área objeto dessa investigação e/ou possuíam resumo para análise. Os artigos analisados eram oriundos de 46 revistas científicas, sendo que a revista Educação e Pesquisa, com Qualis A1, foi a que apresentou maior número de publicações (N=7). A maioria dos estudos realizados foi de autoria múltipla (70,7%) e feminina (62%), sendo os anos de 2006 e 2007 de maior número de publicações na área. Quanto ao tipo de artigo, houve equivalência entre a quantidade de produções de artigo teórico e de pesquisa, sendo predominantes os estudos na área da Educação. Concluiu-se que, por ser uma área em constante expansão, faz-se necessário um incentivo maior aos estudos sobre o tema bem como maior rigor das revistas no que se refere à qualidade dos resumos publicados, dada a falta de informações fundamentais e de normatização dos mesmos.Palavras-chave: Aprendizagem virtual; Produção científica; Metaciência; Cientometria.Scientific production analisys of EAD brazilian articlesAbstractDifferent studies, guided by different theoretical approaches, seek to understand the specifics of Distance Learning (EAD) and its applications. Thus, it is necessary to revise Brazilian articles on the subject seeking to know what we know and point out the gaps in the area. This study analyzes Brazilian scientific articles related to EAD in the period from 2000 to 2009 in the BVS-Psi and Scielo. databases It was considered the keyword "Distance Education" and presence of an abstract for the selected article. We analyzed 306 abstracts resulting from the initial search and only 82 of these referred to the object of this research area and / or possessed abstracts for analysis. The analyzed articles were from 46 scientific journals, being the journal Education and Research, with Qualis A1, the one who showed the highest number of publications (N = 7). Most studies were from multiple authors (70.7%) and female authors (62%), being the years 2006 and 2007 with the largest number of publications in the area. Regarding the type of article, there was equivalence between the amount of productions of theoretical paper and of research studies, with the ones in the Education area being predominant. It was concluded that, as an area in constant expansion, it is necessary a greater incentive to studies on the subject as well as tightening of magazines with regard to quality of the published abstracts, given the lack of fundamental information and standardization thereof.Keywords: Virtual Learning, Scientific Production; Metascience; Scientometrics.

Resumen:El proceso de globalización de los procesos económicos, a primera vista sugiere un mundo de dimensiones homogéneas, muy interrelacionado entre sí y con igualdad de oportunidades de desarrollo para todos los países. Pero la realidad se desenvuelve en otra lógica: la globalización impulsa dinámicas muy segmentadas, donde el mundo vive las paradojas de la conformación de bloques regionales entre países y de regiones diferenciadas al interior de estos. En este sentido, uno de los espacios donde en la actualidad, por una razón u otra, se dan relaciones peculiares, son las fronterizas. Hay países donde los vínculos fronterizos se expresan como conflictos étnicos y religiosos; en cambio en otros, las conexiones más importantes son de índole económica y demográfica. Este es el caso de la frontera entre México y Estados Unidos, espacio donde se reproduce una de las relaciones binacionales más intensas entre países. En el presente artículo, se pretende avanzar en hacer una relectura de la frontera norte de México y sur de Estados Unidos, considerándola una región integrada por dos subregiones: la estadounidense y la mexicana. Para ello, se pasa revista a los más importantes enfoques teóricos para entender esa realidad, y se propone su revisión a la luz de las constantes modificaciones en ésta, que conducen a agotamientos muy rápidos en los "paradigmas" de análisis que cada autor del tema utiliza. Este planteamiento se documenta con la aportación de elementos cuantitativos y cualitativos acerca de las partes que configuran la región y, particularmente, se destacan las distintas modalidades de corredores económicos como medios de vinculación entre las "subregiones". Se plantea también reflexionar acerca de aspectos poco estudiados en estas últimas, como sería el perfil de los actores empresariales, básico para entender sus niveles de competitividad en la globalización a partir de una plataforma regional.Palabras clave: Globalización, Zonas fronterizas, Frontera México-Estados Unidos, Corredores económicos, Economía fronteriza.Abstract:The globalization of economic processes, at first sight, suggests a very inter- related world of homogenous dimensions, with equal opportunities of development for all countries. But reality comes about with another logic: globalization furthers very segmented dynamics, where the world experiences the paradox of the establishment of regional blocks among countries and regions that are differentiated within such blocks. In this sense, border areas are one of the spaces where presently, due to one reason or another, peculiar relations occur. There are countries where border ties are expressed as ethnic and religious conflicts, whereas, there are others, in which the most important connections are of an economic and demographic nature. This is the case of the Mexico-US border, space where one of the most intense binational relations between countries takes place. This article intends to review Mexico?s northern border and the United States southern border, considering it a region integrated by two subregions: the one of the United States and the one of Mexico. For such purpose, the most important theoretical approaches is reviewed in order to understand said reality. Its review is proposed in view of its constant modifications that lead to very fast depletions in the "paradigms" of analysis used by each author who writes about the subject. This statement is documented with the contribution of qualitative and quantitative elements about the parts that form the region, particularly underscoring the different modalities of economic corridors as means to link the "subregions". Statements are also made that lead to reflect on aspects that have been little studied in the latter, such as the pro file of the business actors, that is basic to understand their levels of competitiveness in globalization as of a regional platform .Key words: Globalization, Borderlines, USA-Mexico borderline, Economic corridors, Borderline economics.

There is a commonly agreed way to articulate the logical form of a conscious state: it a state such that there is something it is like for a subject to be in it. This formula has the important virtue that it enables us to separate out two distinct aspects in the phenomenology of an experience: what is experienced, the ‘quality’ of the experience; and how it is experienced, that it is experienced as being for-a-subject. A careful examination of the syntax of the ‘what it’s like …’ construction reveals that the colloquial phrase ‘subject of experience’ is polysemic. On the one hand it might mean the subject in whom the experience is occurring. Let me call this the ‘locative of manifestation’. This host self, an inhabited self, is more commonly identified with the physical human being, or the human being’s brain or neuropsychological state, but Pessoa gives instead a phenomenological interpretation of the notion. The phrase might also mean the subject affected by the experience. The affected subject is the one to whom the experience is addressed, so I will call this the ‘accusative of manifestation’. The accusative of manifestation is, evidently, conceptually distinct from the locative of manifestation. Finally, the phrase might mean the subject who is undergoing the experience, the one who lives through the experience, the ‘dative of manifestation.’

The aim of this study was to assess the empathic reactivity of children when confronted with two different emotions felt by the same character. A total of 90 girls, divided into three equal groups aged 4, 6, and 8 years, were asked to verbally respond to a series of fictitious stories illustrated by a picture where the character's face was left blank. Four of these episodes implied one simple emotion, and the remaining four were complex episodes where the situation potentially induced two opposite emotions within the character, either successively or simultaneously. Empathy was scored according to (a) the match between the emotion identified in the character and the one reported by the subject, and (b) the interpretation given for the subject's reaction. Both the quality of the match and the level of interpretation from self-to event-to character-centred justifications-were found to increase with age, for complex as well as for simple emotions. However, children of all three age-groups displayed less empathic capabilities when witnessing complex rather than simple episodes, given the more demanding task involved in recognising and sharing emotional complexity. Finally, successive emotions appeared more difficult to cope with than simultaneous emotions, but this decalage may be due to the content of the stimuli used in this study.

Abstract Low labour costs as one of the key sources of export stimulation, the competitive advantage of domestic agricultural production and bilateral agreements with partner countries - all promote export as a potentially significant factor of encouragement of economic development of the Republic of Serbia.Taking into account this fact, on the one hand, and balance of payments problems that Serbia has been facing over the years, on the other hand, the subject of this paper is an analysis of trends in the Republic of Serbia export and explanation of variations in the export trends during the period from 2004 to 2014. The aim of the paper is to explore export trends forecast from January to December 2015.The analysis uses Holt-Winters and ARIMA methods for analyszing time series.The paper provides insight into the export trend forecasts for the period of 12 months, and thus confirms the possibility of practical usage of the time series analysis methods in forecasting macroeconomic variables such as export. The used methods identify increase of export during the summer and its decrease after October 2015. The paper establishes the existence of a high degree of congruence between forecasts obtained by using two methods, which confirm a high quality of the elaborated methods in the analysis of exports.

This research aimed to analyze the characteristics of international scientific research about the literature fragment on the use of Performance Evaluation (PE) in Management Accounting for the knowledge generation and identifying gaps and future research possibilities. To this end, this research with qualitative approach used ProKnow-C tool for selecting the Bibliographical Portfolio (PB) and analysis of the characteristics of its publications. The research resulted in sixteen articles aligned to the subject, who composed the PB and had these results: the journal Transformations in Business and Economics is the one with the highest number of publications portfolio; of the 21 authors, of the articles of the PB, the author Mostaque Md Hussain has largest number of publications, four; the contingency theory was the most used by the authors as the foundation of the Performance Evaluation and; several studies have used the Performance Evaluation path towards becoming the metrics most dynamic. Based on the literature study, the following research gaps were identified: lack of research that focus on the agency theory and the theory of stakeholders and lack of research focusing on the PE path extended to the stakeholders. To promote advances in the field, there is a need for studies that encompass the interests of stakeholders for the use of performance appraisal system, so that they are enlarged the information to be generated by this system.

Nowadays, in conditions of globalisation, and simultaneously with tendencies to decentralise management at the level of states and regions, individual territorial units (cities, municipalities, regions) are forced to adopt a more proactive, market-oriented approach to development. This process requires constant analysis of the environment and response to emerging changes; consideration of the offers of the competition and customer’s expectations. The purpose of this article is to show a market approach to managing the development of territorial units as a function of entrepreneurship. In particular, to show the relationship between the market orientation of local governments and entrepreneurship. This is understood, on the one hand, as a process of identifying and using opportunities and on the other, as a process of creating new enterprises, where special attention is paid to the emerging idea of territorial units as entrepreneurs. The latter concept appears increasingly frequently in the literature and colloquial language. Market orientation is an expression of the entrepreneurship of local government. Its impact on entrepreneurship on a given territorial unit is a new and important research area that requires exploration. The paper is based on the theoretical discussion using selected literature on the subject.

Researchers are trying to find viable means to support the quality of services for fixed IP users for quite some time. This is a difficult task and even up until today there is no universally accepted mechanism to assure the quality of an operational service from the one end to the other. As years were passing, the need of IP users to keep their network connectivity while on the move, introduced a family of mobility management protocols. However, it was soon noted that these mobility management protocols were inter-working rather inefficiently with the protocols for the quality of services’ support. Thus, new protocols are under design to tackle this issue. However, even with these new protocols there are important issues left unchallenged. This chapter provides all the necessary information for this research area and its current status.

In the last few decades, the subject of trust has become one of the central research topics in sociology and political science. Various theoretical approaches have crystallized, and an immense amount of empirical data has been collected. The focus on trust is for two kinds of reasons. One has to do with immanent developments in the social sciences. We have witnessed a turn from almost exclusive preoccupation with the macro-social level, that is the organizational, systemic or structuralist images of society, toward the micro-foundations of social life; that is, everyday actions and interactions, including their ‘soft’ dimensions, mental and cultural intangibles and imponderables. Another set of reasons has to do with the changing quality of social structures and social processes in the late-modern period. The ascendance of democracy means that the role of human agency is growing, and more depends on what common people think and do, how they feel toward others and toward their rulers and how they choose to participate and cooperate. The process of globalization means that more and more of the factors impinging on everyday life of people are non-transparent, unfamiliar and distant, demanding new type of attitudes. The expansion of risk means that people have to act more often than before in conditions of uncertainty. The traumas of rapid, comprehensive and often unexpected social change produce disorientation and a loss of existential security. If the ambition of sociology to become the reflexive awareness of society is to be realized, then the current interest in trust seems to be wholly warranted.

While the move towards criterion-referenced assessment in Australia represents a step in the right direction, the path is fraught with political and technical hazards. Advocates of criterion-referenced assessment tend to overdraw the distinction between norm and criterion-referenced assessment, and to play down the difficulties inherent in spelling out criteria and setting standards at the Year 12 level. Nevertheless it is a good idea to try to clarify the domains of each subject (integrated structures of knowledge and ability which underly areas of expertise) and to experiment with new tools and technologies being developed by measurement specialists. We must also recognize that we cannot hope to improve the art of assessing the quality of students' work by an infinite expansion along a scientific-technological path in all areas of the curriculum. In many areas, we will always be dependent on the expertise and judgment of connoisseurs, and judgments will always represent an uncertain blend of criteria derived from the subject and the assessors on the one hand, and norms ebbing from those being assessed on the other.

In Ukraine, the scientific sphere of activity is being reformed due to new requirements for its development, in particular, national scientific journals are being prepared for inclusion in the international databases Scopus and Web of Science. Modern higher education institutions are the subject of scientometric assessments in various national and world rankings, which reflect, in particular, the level of their research activities. Now it is one of the most authoritative indicators of academic work. Today, higher education institutions of Ukraine in national and world rankings are evaluated not only by indicators of their academic and international activities, the quality of professional training of students, the results of inventive activity, but also by the level of publishing activity of researchers in journals indexed in international scientometric databases, by the number of citations of their works by other scientists.
