FREDDY TABERNA, ANTROPOLOGÍA PARA LA REVOLUCIÓN
No full textDurante el gobierno de Salvador Allende (1970-1973) los estudios andinos chilenos se abocaron a investigar las comunidades indígenas del Norte Grande con el objeto de sopesar su potencial de adecuación (y la forma en que ésta debería llevarse a cabo) a las reformas implementadas por el gobierno nacional en un contexto mundial marcado por la problemática del desarrollo. En este artículo me propongo abordar esta temática mediante el análisis de un escrito científico cuya autoría es de Freddy Taberna. En tanto el mismo expresa la forma en que el autor entendió que las investigaciones sociales en el norte de Chile debían encararse, considero que este constituye un campo propicio para indagar algunas de las representaciones epocales sobre los fundamentos del conocimiento científico. En su parte conclusiva este artículo intenta responder, a partir de la opción política explícita de la fuente analizada, a qué proyecto intelectual ésta respondió y que sujeto de conocimiento ayudó a construir.
ABSTRACT
During Salvador Allende´s Government (1970-1973) the Andean Chilean studies devoted themselves to investigate the indian communities from Norte Grande aiming to balance their adequacy potential (and the way in which it should be carried on) to the reforms implemented by the National government in a world context marked by development issues. In this article I propose to approach this probematic through the analysis of a scientific writting whose autorship belongs to Freddy Taberna. As it expresses the way in which the author understood that the social researchs in Northern Chile should be faced, I consider that it builds a propitious field to inquire some epochal representations about scientific knowledge´s foundations. In the conclusive part, having in mind the explicit policy option given by the analyzed source, this article tries to respond to which intelectual proyect it belongs and which kind of knowledge helped to build
Leitura literária do conto “O ex-mágico da taberna Minhota”, de Murilo Rubião
No full textThis Undergraduate Thesis, entitled Literary Reading of the Tale “The Former Magician of Taberna Minhota” (Leitura Literária do Conto “O Ex-Mágico da Taberna Minhota”), by Murilo Rubião, has as its theme the literary reading at school. Its objectives are to understand the theoretical aspects of the tale genre and analyze the fantastic narrative “O Ex-mágico da Taberna Minhota”, present the proposal of literary literacy of the author Rildo Cosson (2006) and develop and execute a basic sequence (BS) constituted by the stages of motivation, introduction, reading and interpretation, elaborated in a total of eight classes. The class selected for this experiment was the 3rd Year D2 of the High School at Public School Murilo Braga, located in the city of Itabaiana, State of Sergipe, composed of 20 students aged between 16 and 17 years. The BS, in this Undergraduate Thesis, in addition to contributing to the academic and teaching training itself, sought to consider the experience in the classroom and understand how the execution of a BS on literary reading is, in fact, and how it has enabled students to interpret the studied tale. Therefore, it was remarkable that the participating students benefited from the basic sequence, as they could possibly have a new look and another perspective on literary texts. The elaboration of this research is of a qualitative approach, built through theoretical, historical and literary studies on the short story genre and its characteristics, with analysis of aspects of the fantastic narrative. In this sense, this Undergraduate Thesis is within the bibliographic procedure, and has the explanatory objective to elucidate the analyzed theoretical foundation.Este Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (TCC), intitulado Leitura Literária do Conto “O ExMágico da Taberna Minhota”, de Murilo Rubião, apresenta como tema a leitura literária na escola.

A elaboração desta pesquisa é de abordagem qualitativa, construída através de estudos teóricos, históricos e literários sobre o gênero conto e suas características, com análise dos aspectos da narrativa fantástica. Nesse sentido, este TCC encontra-se dentro do procedimento bibliográfico, e tem-se o objetivo explicativo para elucidar a fundamentação teórica analisada.Itabaian
The impact of climate change on micro, small, and medium enterprises, and the factors influencing the intention to flood risk reduction and climate change adaptation : a case study in Agh ghala city and Agh ghala industrial park, Golestan province, Iran
No full textLAUREA MAGISTRALEIl cambiamento climatico sta aumento severità e frequenza dei disastri naturali, causando ingenti danni alle attività economiche a livello globale. Tra i disastri naturali, le inondazioni sono il più devastante e costoso. Infatti, esse sono uno stress persistente per le micro, piccole e medie imprese (MPMI), specialmente nei paesi in via di sviluppo dove le aziende possono fare raramente affidamento su infrastrutture di protezione sviluppate a livello centrale.
Tuttavia, la conoscenza dettagliata dei fattori che determinano la vulnerabilità, le misure di adattamento, e le informazioni sui danni sostenuti dalle imprese a causa delle inondazioni, rimangono scarse. Questo lavoro punta a ridurre questa lacuna utilizzando un questionario strutturato (sviluppato sulla base della letteratura e del caso di studio) e compilato attraverso interviste tra gestori e proprietari di MPMI nella città di Agh Ghala e nell'Agh Ghala Industrial Park, colpito duramente da un’inondazione nel marzo 2019.
Dopo aver performato analisi statistiche sui dati utilizzando la regressione lineare semplice e multipla, nonché il metodo dell'indice di importanza relativa, i risultati indicano che tutte le aziende hanno dovuto affrontare una varietà di impatti diretti e indiretti e che alcuni effetti indiretti, come interruzioni nei collegamenti di trasporto e nella catena di approvvigionamento, hanno scatenato altre disrupzioni, fino a portare all’interruzione delle operazioni aziendali e chiusura per diversi giorni. Diversi fattori interni ed esterni delle imprese, tra cui precedente esperienza a un’inondazione e caratteristiche dei gestori, influiscono in modo significativo sia al livello di impatto (diretto e indiretto) subito sia alla loro intenzione di attuare misure di adattamento a future inondazioni. Le azioni di adattamento ad alto sforzo vengono evitate principalmente a causa dei loro costi elevati e delle difficoltà tecniche. Al contrario, le ragioni principali della mancata attuazione di misure a basso sforzo sono state l'inefficacia e un minore danno subito. In termini di adattamento collettivo, le imprese hanno indicato una mancanza di interesse per i futuri progetti cooperativi di prevenzione delle inondazioni. Inoltre, nessuna impresa aveva in programma di trasferirsi per ridurre la propria esposizione alle inondazioni. I nostri risultati sottolineano la necessità essenziale di una maggiore comprensione dei fattori che influenzano la vulnerabilità delle MPMI e la loro capacità di adattamento contro le inondazioni.Globally environmental hazards are increasing in severity and frequency with climate change, and so do economic losses they cause. Among these hazards, flooding is the most devastating and costly. It is a persistent cause of stress for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), especially in developing countries, where businesses rely on their performance but may lack fully developed flood protection infrastructure.
Yet, detailed knowledge of factors determining firms' vulnerability to floods and their adaptation measures, as well as information on corresponding damaging impacts, remain sparse. We bridge this gap by conducting an interviewer-assisted survey using a structured questionnaire (developed based on the literature and the case study) among managers and owners of MSMEs in the Agh Ghala City and the Agh Ghala Industrial Park that experienced a severe flood in March 2019.
After analyzing the data using simple and multiple linear regression, as well as the relative importance index method, the findings indicate that all firms faced a variety of direct and indirect impacts, and that some indirect effects, such as disruptions in transportation links and supply chain, resulted in other issues, such as disruptions in firm operations and even led to their closure for several days. Different firms' internal and external factors, including their flood experience and decision-related features, all contribute significantly to both the level of impacts (direct and indirect) that businesses suffered and to their intention to implement flood adaptation measures. High-effort adaptation actions are avoided mostly due to their high cost and technical difficulties. In contrast, the major reasons for not implementing low-effort measures were ineffectiveness and minor damage to the firms. In terms of collective adaptation, businesses indicated a lack of interest in future cooperative flood prevention projects. Moreover, no firm had any plan to relocate to reduce its exposure to flooding. Our findings emphasize the essential need of increasing understanding of the factors affecting MSMEs' vulnerability and their adaptive capacity against flooding
O fantástico muriliano como paródia do maravilhoso: uma análise do conto “o ex-mágico da taberna minhota”
No full textThe present work aims to analyze the short story "O ex-mâgico da Taberna Minhota" by the author Murilo Rubiâo. In doing text analysis we are concerned with letting the text raise its own theoretical questions. We aim to bring new research on fantastic literature on the campus of the sertâo, especially Brazilian fantastic literature. We place Murilo Rubiâo’s tale in the historical horizon of fantastic literature, highlighting its confluences and divergences in the genre. We also defend the thesis that fantastic literary works also have aesthetic value, when we study the aesthetic conventions of literature, from the classics to the realists. To support this statement, we mainly approach two concepts, that of verisimilitude and that of causality, with the help of Todorov (2013 and 2017) We cover the entire tale and highlight the author’s originality in building an original narrative, which makes a parody of Maravilhoso, the very genre that it is inserted, as Rodrigues (2016) says, creating an unusual effect in his stories. The work was only possible through the theoretical support of Moisés (1972), Aguiar e Silva (1973), Barros (1981), Reis and Lopes (1988) and Magri (2009).O presente trabalho tern por mister a anâlise do conto "O ex-mâgico da Taberna Minhota" do autor Murilo Rubiâo.

Exploring Regional Agglomeration Dynamics in Face of Climate-Driven Hazards: Insights from an Agent-Based Computational Economic Model
No full textBy 2050 about 80% of the world’s population is expected to live in cities. Cities offer spatial economic advantages that create agglomeration forces and innovation that foster concentration of economic activities, but for historic reasons cluster along coasts and rivers that are prone to climate-driven flooding. To explore tradeoffs between agglomeration economies and the changing face of hazards we present an evolutionary economics model with heterogeneous agents. Without climate-induced shocks, the model demonstrates how advantageous transport costs that the waterfront offers lead to the self-reinforcing and path-dependent agglomeration process in coastal areas. The likelihood and speed of such agglomeration strongly depend on the transport cost and magnitude of climate-driven shocks. In particular, shocks of different size have non-linear impact on output growth and spatial distribution of economic activities.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Policy Analysi
Coping with increasing tides: Evolving agglomeration dynamics and technological change under exacerbating hazards
No full textBy 2050 about 70% of the world's population is expected to live in cities. Cities offer spatial economic advantages that boost agglomeration forces and innovation, fostering further concentration of economic activities. For historic reasons urban centers cluster along coasts, which are prone to climate-induced flooding and sea level rise. To explore trade-offs between agglomeration economies and hazards increasing with climate change, we develop an evolutionary agent-based model with heterogeneous boundedly-rational agents who learn and adapt to a changing environment. The model combines migration decision of both households and firms between safe Inland and hazard-prone Coastal regions with endogenous technological learning and economic growth. Flood damages affect Coastal firms hitting their labour productivity, capital stock and inventories. We find that the model is able to replicate a rich set of micro- and macro-empirical regularities concerning economic and spatial dynamics. Without climate-induced shocks, the model shows how lower transport costs favour the Coastal region fueling the self-reinforcing and path-dependent agglomeration processes. We then introduce five scenarios of floods characterized by different frequency and severity to study the complex interplay of hazards with agglomeration patterns affecting the performance of the overall economy. We find that when shocks are mild or infrequent, they negatively affect the economic performance of the economy. If strong flood hazards hit frequently the Coastal region before agglomeration forces trigger high levels of the waterfront urbanization, firms and households can timely adapt and migrate landwards, thus averting the adverse impacts of climate shocks on the whole economy. Conversely, in the presence of climate tipping points where the frequency and magnitude of flood hazards abruptly intensifies, we find that economic activities remain trapped in the hazard-prone region, generating lock-ins and leading to a harsh downturn of the overall economy.Multi Actor SystemsPolicy Analysi
Economic implications of autonomous adaptation of firms and households in a resource-rich coastal city
No full textClimate change intensifies the likelihood of extreme flood events worldwide, amplifying the potential for compound flooding. This evolving scenario represents an escalating risk, emphasizing the urgent need for comprehensive climate change adaptation strategies across society. Vital to effective response are models that evaluate damages, costs, and benefits of adaptation strategies, encompassing non-linearities and feedback between anthropogenic and natural systems. While flood risk modeling has progressed, limitations endure, including inadequate stakeholder representation and indirect risks such as business interruption and diminished tax revenues. To address these gaps, we propose an innovative version of the Climate-economy Regional Agent-Based model that integrates a dynamic, rapidly expanding agglomeration economy populated by interacting households and firms with extreme flood events. Through this approach, feedback loops and cascading effects generated by flood shocks are delineated within a socio-economic system of boundedly-rational agents. By leveraging extensive behavioral data, our model incorporates a risk layering strategy encompassing bottom-up and top-down adaptation, spanning individual risk reduction to insurance. Calibrated to resemble a research-rich coastal megacity in China, our model demonstrates how synergistic adaptation actions at all levels effectively combat the mounting climate threat. Crucially, the integration of localized risk management with top-down approaches offers explicit avenues to address both direct and indirect risks, providing significant insights for constructing climate-resilient societies.Multi Actor SystemsPolicy AnalysisSystem Engineerin
In taberna quando sumus? Osservazioni sul gioco d’azzardo (alea) a Pompei
No full textCes dernières années ont connu un regain d’intérêt pour la législation romaine concernant les jeux de pari. En croisant les sources littéraires et juridiques, nous pouvons recomposer un tableau des interventions du législateur au fil du temps, de l’époque républicaine au règne de Justinien. Mais que sait-on de l’efficacité réelle de ces lois ? En analysant la répartition des dés et des osselets à Pompéi, instruments par excellence de l’aléatoire, il est possible de réfléchir sur les répercussions concrètes de ces lois dans une cité romaine du premier siècle apr. J.-C.The past few years have seen a renewed interest about Roman law on gambling. Combining literary and legal sources, we are now able to reconstruct the interventions of the legislator from the Republican age to the Justianian reign. But what do we know about the real force of the laws? By analyzing the distribution of gambling in Pompeii (namely dice and knucklebones) we can appreciate the real impact of the law in the context of a Roman city during the early Imperial age
'Underwater' Real Estate: Exploring housing market dynamics under severe flooding in Rotterdam
No full textClimate change will lead to more extreme climate and weather phenomena, and this includes the increased risk and severity of flooding. Flooding is one of the most destructive and common natural hazards globally, and rising sea levels and extreme precipitation mean that many human settlements will be situated in climate-sensitive areas. However, the increased threat of floods in coastal cities is not currently sufficiently represented in the housing markets. Contemporary property prices are shaped by the locational advantages of coastal cities, and have a tendency to underestimate or ignore flood risk, even after experiencing a flood themselves. This increases the possibility of structural shifts in housing markets when the flood risk is realised by the public, leading to a depreciation of real-estate property values, and may cause cascading effects in other aspects of the economy, such as the collapse of the regional housing market and reduced economic attractiveness to the region. The Netherlands, for example, is arguably the best-protected delta in the world from flooding. Still, it is vulnerable to the "safe development paradox", where public flood protection measures motivate the continued investment and expansion of flood-risky areas. While Dutch safety standards are very high, they cannot guarantee absolute protection from floods; the country is still at risk from rare-but-severe flooding, or the occasional minor flood, both of which can influence the Dutch housing markets.The deep uncertainty of future flood risk means that empirical research alone cannot sufficently describe possible responses to housing market shocks from flooding. Therefore, modelling and simulation is useful in testing potential variants of a housing market system, such as testing different dynamics of housing market actors and potential policy levers in various flood scenarios. This is further supported by an increase in publicly-available rich datasets, that allow for spatial and empirical representation of the housing market and climate-induced flood scenarios.\noindent In this thesis, the city of Rotterdam is used as a case study, to explore the usage of empirical data and to model a housing market shocked by various plausible flood scenarios. This is done in two steps: firstly via a data exploration effort in publically-available datasets for the Netherlands, and then consolidating the data into a stylised agent-based model, simulating the transactions of the housing market while several districts experience flooding shocks from different flood scenarios. Firstly, I have conducted the data exploration aspect using Dutch open data for flood scenarios, housing, local demographics, and empirically-estimated flood discounts. The data was judged on the suitability of the datasets to be incorporated into an empirical model, and on the presence of data gaps while linking between different data. The exploration highlights the potential of modelling the housing market using empirical demographic data based on income level, but only missing certain data to characterise how homebuyers would acquire mortgage financing. Additionally, on the flood damages side, I show the possibility of characterising flood discounts as a function of flood depth, and the depth-damage relation for the Netherlands.In the modelling part of the thesis study, I have consolidated the data into an agent-based model with a stylised set of relationships for the housing market. The model was designed based on the empirical stylised trends regarding housing markets dynamics, like declining flood risk discounts in property prices over time. In short, the model simulates the purchase transactions of homebuyers, who are discouraged from flood-affected properties, thus leading to a growing demand and price premium for flood-safe properties. This model was then tested with a simple series of experiments, for single flooding and multiple flooding scenarios, based on empirically-grounded severe flood scenarios on Rotterdam. While the model results are limited in terms of prediction for policy purposes directly, the modelling process as a whole illustrates the value of exploratory modelling to refine the understanding of a system. Via this exploration, it was highlighted that there is a need to further characterise flood discounting behaviour around the action of housing market actors.Citation for Mutlu et al.
