Full textAbstract:
A partir de pressupostos teóricos e metodológicos da Crítica Literária e da Literatura Comparada, o objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar traços de personagens dos romances Mayombe e Noites de Vigília, dos autores angolanos Pepetela e Boaventura Cardoso, respectivamente, não apenas como marcos do imaginário ficcional dos autores, mas, sobretudo, como representações da trama histórica recente de Angola, de que os autores foram ao mesmo tempo testemunhas e protagonistas, no sentido de que vivenciaram (e vivenciam!) seus reflexos no cotidiano do povo angolano. A análise dos romances baseou-se em uma perspectiva metodológica de comparação entre ficção e realidade histórica de Angola, o que permitiu concluir que muitas imagens representadas pela arte literária não são, simplesmente, reflexos da história, mas, sobretudo, demonstram formas de relacionamentos e pensamentos de sujeitos históricos com suas próprias histórias. Nessa concepção, os sujeitos imaginários de Mayombe (os próprios agenciadores da guerrilha), foram relacionados com as personagens de Noites de Vigília (atores que ajudam a recontar partes fragmentadas da história angolana) para que se tenha uma dimensão não apenas fictícia de elementos que recobrem a história política e cultural desse país, como também há possibilidade de se reconhecer sujeitos em suas mais variadas dimensões históricas. ABSTRACTBased on theoretical and methodological assumptions from Literary Criticism and Comparative Literature, the objective of this work was to analyze characters from the novels Mayombe and Noites de Vigília, by Angolan authors Pepetela and Boaventura Cardoso, respectively, not only as milestones of the authors’ fictional imagination, but above all, as representations of the recent historical plot of Angola, that the authors were at the same time witnesses and protagonists, in the sense that they experienced (and experience!) their reflections in the daily life of the Angolan people. The analysis of the novels was based on a methodological perspective of comparison between fiction and the historical reality of Angola, which led to the conclusion that many images represented by literary art are not simply reflections of history, but, above all, demonstrate forms of relationships and thoughts of historical subjects with their own histories. In this conception, the imaginary subjects of Mayombe (the guerrillas' own agents) were related to the characters of Noites de Vigília (actors who help to recount fragmented parts of Angolan history) so that one can see a dimension not only of the fictitious elements that cover the political and cultural history of that country, as well as the possibility of recognizing subjects in their most varied historical dimensions. Keywords: Mayombe, Noites de Vigília, Literature, Guerrilla, Angolan History.

Full textAbstract:
The expansion of proclisis in contexts that typically exclude it in European Portuguese has been described as a syntactic feature that characterizes Angolan Portuguese. This article studies the presence of this feature in the literary language, based on a corpus of texts by Angolan and Mozambican authors, representing two generations: authors born in the colonial period (the Angolan Pepetela and the Mozambicans Mia Couto and Paulina Chiziane) and authors born after the independence of their countries (the Angolan Ondjaki and the Mozambican Lucílio Manjate). The study results show that proclisis has a stronger presence in the works of Angolan authors than Mozambican authors, suggesting that the shift towards the generalization of proclisis is more advanced, socially widespread and accepted in Angolan Portuguese than in Mozambican Portuguese, although it is visible in both. It is in non-finite domains that the contrast between the two African varieties is more evident. Not only is the frequency of proclisis to the infinitive higher in the Angolan Portuguese corpus, but only there is proclisis to the past participle attested. Comparing the two generations of writers, we see a significant rise of proclisis to the infinitive between Pepetela and Ondjaki and it is in Ondjaki’s works that proclisis to the past participle occurs. Regarding the Mozambican Portuguese corpus, however, there seems to be a regression in the advance of proclisis between Mia Couto and Manjate. A closer look at Rabhia, by Manjate (2017), suggests that young speakers with a high level of education may perceive the spread of proclisis as a socially marked feature.

A proposta de artigo resulta de pesquisa de pós-doutorado realizada no Instituto Superior de Ciências da Educação - ISCED de Lubango em Angola. Teoricamente dialogamos com autores da epistemologia decolonial, interculturalidade, história oral, memória, patrimônio cultural e história local. Ao elaborar e desenvolver o projeto Decolonizando tempos, espaços e memórias: experiências educativas na Província de Huíla – Angola, buscamos compreender como são realizadas as aulas e atividades educativas em escolas na Província de Huíla, no tocante as questões da memória e experiências educativas a partir do estudo de documentos e das rememorações dos professores da Educação Básica. Nossos questionamentos originais foram referentes a como as questões da memória, patrimônio cultural, e história e cultura das comunidades de Huíla estão presentes nas salas de aulas. O estudo foi realizado a partir de dados coletados em escolas, narrativas de professores, no Instituto Superior de Ciências da Educação-ISCED em Lubango e na Biblioteca Pública de Lubango. Procuramos investigar os diferentes saberes, fazeres e experiências vividas amalgamadas na produção do conhecimento escolar identificando como as memórias, os patrimônios e culturas locais são agenciados nas práticas docentes em escolas na província de Huíla em Angola. Neste artigo abordamos a colonização portuguesa em Angola, a independência angolana, as memórias dos educadores sobre suas experiências educativas durante as duas guerras vividas pelo povo angolano: primeiro para conquistar a sua independência do poderio colonial português e segundo a guerra civil, que seguiu a independência.Palavras-chave: Memórias.

We dialogue with the theoretical framework of authors of decolonial epistemology, interculturality, oral history, memory, cultural heritage and local history. When preparing and developing the project Decolonizing times, spaces and memories: educational experiences in the province of Huíla - Angola, we sought to understand how teachers carried classes and educational activities in schools in this province regarding the issues of memory and educational experiences. Our research relied on the study of documents and the remembrances of Basic Education teachers. Our original questions were related to how the issues of memory, cultural heritage and history and culture of the communities of Huíla are present in the classrooms. The study was carried out using data collected from schools, teachers' narratives, from Lubango’s Instituto Superior de Ciências da Educação-ISCED and Public Library. We sought to investigate the different knowledges, practices and experiences amalgamated in the production of school knowledge while identifying how teachers manage memories, heritage and local cultures in their teaching practices in this province. In this article, we discuss the Portuguese colonization of Angola and its independence. We also present the memories of Angolan educators about their educational activities during the two Angolan wars. The first was the war for independence the second was the civil war that followed.Keywords: Memories. Experiences. Decoloniality. Angola.

Full textAbstract:
Angolan writer Óscar Bento Ribas has revealed the cultural customs and oral traditions of the Angolan people through traditional tales and poetry, which show the experiences of the population transmitted from generation to generation, where words originating from the Kimbundu language are recognized and disseminated. However, young people are unaware of this legacy that exalts native memories, uses and customs; this, the problem identified in this research is insufficient knowledge of literary works by national authors who have promoted angolan culture. This narrative motivated an investigation based on the following objective: to analyze literary works by Óscar Bento Ribas, in the sociocultural context of Angola at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. The study was carried out using analytical-hermeneutic method, applied to documentary reviews of literary works, taking into account essays, short stories, novels, dramas and lyricism. The main theoretical references were: Neves (2008), Sousa (2010), Tindó (2010) and Calivala (2015), who dealt with different phases of the angolan writer´s life and work, with a view to publicizing his literary creation. The results obtained provide information on biographical data, orientations related to the narratives and a sociocultural approach to the author; who, through his writing, preserved and disseminated the identity characteristics and values of the nation, through a writing style that illustrated conversations, dialects, human relationships, mysticism, feelings, experiences and regional food surrounded by exuberant nature.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to describe the cultural values – how things should be – and the cultural practices – how things are – of Angolan society. The authors expected to find: a gap between practices and values; high levels of power distance, institutional and in-group collectivism, uncertainty avoidance, future and humane orientation; and low to medium levels of performance orientation, gender equality and assertiveness. Design/methodology/approach – In all, 235 employees in Angola responded to a questionnaire using GLOBE’s cultural scales. Findings – There is a gap between cultural practices and values. Within Angola, humane and performance orientations are the most valued cultural dimensions. Power distance and in-group collectivism are the most prevailing cultural practices. Compared to other countries, Angola has high levels of humane orientation, institutional collectivism and uncertainty avoidance values and high levels of assertiveness and performance orientation practices. Practical implications – Higher than desired levels of assertiveness and power distance, on the one hand, and lower than desired levels of humane orientation and uncertainty avoidance on the other, are key aspects that should be taken into account by HRM in this context. Originality/value – These results may have important implications for HRM in Angola. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first analysis of Angola’s culture from a business research perspective.

Full textAbstract:
The Angolan State’s post-war center-piece reconstruction program, to provide the human right to ‘Water to All’, remains incomplete. The majority of Angola’s peri-urban communities still use the informal market to fill the gap. Water selling is the largest sub-sector of Luanda’s extensive informal economy, involving extractors, transporters and retailers. Negotiating for water at the local household level involves significant trading in social capital. Communities in Angola’s musseques have built on neighborhood solidarity to manage the supply of water themselves. The article is drawn from the authors’ experience in practice to examine the complexity of Angola’s informal water economy and local-level innovative responses. The Government has drawn on these lessons and adopted the community management model MoGeCA (the Portuguese language acronym for Model of Community Water Management)to help address the shortfall. The article is written from a practitioner’s point of view, based on more than a decade of experimentation in practice and support from USAID and UNICEF in taking community management to the national scale.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction. One of the features of the Cold War was the movement of the rivalry of the superpowers into local armed conflicts and civil wars that took place on the territory of other states, mainly the Third World. The article examines the process of the involvement of the Soviet Union in the second half of the 1970s in the civil wars in Angola and Afghanistan. The policy of the USSR in armed conflicts outside the zone of its military-political influence has often been the subject of scientific research, but it has rarely been subjected to comparative analysis, and the authors make such an attempt, which is the novelty of the study. Methods and materials. The main method of the study is the method of comparative analysis (the actions of the USSR in 1975–1979 during the conflict in Angola and Soviet actions in the same period in Afghanistan are compared); the authors rely on documents, memoirs, and previous scientific works. Analysis. The first part of the article examines the process of the USSR’s involvement in the civil war in Angola, which began there soon after gaining independence, from the diplomatic recognition of the People’s Republic of Angola to the dispatch of Soviet military specialists. The second part of the article is devoted to the development of events in Afghanistan after the April 1978 revolution and Soviet involvement in them. Results. The authors conclude that the line adopted by the Soviet Union in relation to the military confrontation in Angola (financial, military, and other assistance, the dispatch of weapons, and military specialists) was ultimately more successful than the line implemented in relation to the civil war in Afghanistan in the form of direct military intervention by the Soviet army and its participation in the conflict outside the country. Authors contribution. T.V. Rabush described and analyzed the development of diplomatic relations between the USSR and Angola and with Afghanistan. R.A. Solovyev examined the military aspects of Soviet-Angolan and Soviet-Afghan cooperation (supply of weapons, sending military advisers, etc.). The research concept, conclusions, and literary editing of the text were carried out jointly.

Full textAbstract:
The figure of Queen Nzinga Mbandi continues to be appreciated in fictional and/or historical narratives as a myth of postcolonial Angolan identity, allowing a continuous approach as to what concerns the modes of cultural representation. In this article, the works of Manuel Pedro Pacavira, Nzinga Mbandi (1975), Pepetela, A gloriosa família: o tempo dos flamengos (1997) and José Eduardo Agualusa, A Rainha Ginga e de como os africanos inventaram o mundo (2014) will be analyzed, as these authors, in different moments of the recent Angolan history, look at this emblematic figure, drawing on historical information produced by Cavazzi, Cadornega or Jean Louis Castilhon, among others. The works now in analysis reiterate the mythical figure of resistance to the European invaders, which was Nzinga Mbandi, or a strong orientation towards the nationalist exaltation supported by it, an evident strategy which, by the rescue of figures and cultural practices, is defined as a means to affirm negritude.

Kalanchooideae) that should be ascribed to Welwitsch alone." Phytotaxa 458, no. 1 (August 28, 2020): 83–100. http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.458.1.5.
Full textAbstract:
Although it is widely assumed that Friedrich Welwitsch, who collected about 10,000 specimens in Angola during a seven-year period in the mid-1800s, only proposed names that were validly published by other authors in the Flora of Tropical Africa (FTA), he also provided Latin descriptions that were attached to the specimens. These descriptions were translated into English and used in FTA. Welwitsch was therefore the only author of those names. As a case study, the nomenclature of new species published in the FTA in the genus Kalanchoe (Crassulaceae subfam. Kalanchooideae) is presented. When all the internal evidence in the relevant FTA volume is taken into account, the authorship of all the Kalanchoe species names, bar one, K. welwitschii, which was published by Britten exclusively, is Welwitsch only, and not “Welwitsch ex Britten” or “Welwitsch ex Oliver” as usually cited. Kalanchoe coccinea and K. brachyloba, whose distributions extend beyond Angola, have type localities in that country, and were also based on Welwitsch’s descriptions. An itinerary of Welwitsch’s Angolan expedition and maps showing the areas where he collected in the country are provided. Type localities from where Welwitsch collected the Kalanchoe species published in FTA are placed on the map. The typification of seven Kalanchoe names is clarified, some through correcting previous designations and, where required, second-step lectotypifications.

Abstract. Most evidence available has found multidimensional solutions for the General Health Questionnaire’s (GHQ12) structure, contrary to the authors’ original one-factor solution. Recently, the study of method effects associated to negatively worded items has been included in the study of GHQ12’s factor structure, and the most common conclusion has been that the best-fitting structure is a single factor confounded by response bias. Current study analyzes the factor structure of the Portuguese version of the GHQ12. The sample consisted of 1,332 young Angolan adults. Previously-reported structures, including one-factor and multidimensional substantive ones, as well as bifactor structures, and models positing method effects among negatively worded items were tested via Confirmatory Factor Analyses. Results suggested that a three substantive factor solution adequately represented the scale’s underlying structure. The emerging factors were dysphoria, social dysfunction, and loss of confidence. Method effects did not play a clear role in explaining the multidimensionality observed in the factor structures tested for the GHQ12.

Full textAbstract:
This is the second contribution to the stratigraphic and genetic model of the Pinda Group. The mid-Cretaceous Pinda Group of the Congo basin in the northern Angolan offshore is a transgressive supersequence. Its lower part is made of Bufalo and Pacassa facies that correspond respectively to mixed and calcareous-dolomitic grain-dominated fabrics. Both facies were strongly diagenetically altered, mostly by dolomitic replacement and leaching. Contrary to opinions expressed by other authors that both styles of alteration are early diagenetic phenomena, there is substantial evidence for a burial origin with dolomitic replacement and leaching of calcite having started at depths not less than 150 m and 400 m, respectively.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT: This article reads the turn toward the fantastic and the supernatural in postindependence Angolan literature as a critical registration of the trajectory of neoliberal politics in the country. After positing a homology between the corruption of "ideal-type" realism in 1960s Latin America and similar experiments in post-independence Angola, I argue that the fiction of Ndalu de Almeida (Ondjaki) should be understood as a continuation of the social commitment of earlier Angolan writers, as it deploys a set of non-realist aesthetic devices in order to challenge the entrenchment of political orthodoxies in the post-socialist Angolan state. To this end, I offer a reading of Ondjaki's 2012 novel Os Transparentes , which marks a rupture in the author's own intellectual development while also dovetailing with the recent wave of anti-governmental protests in Angola. Although the central fantastical motif of the novel—a man who is in the process of becoming transparent—has been read by critics as a critique of social inequality and kleptocratic governance, I suggest that it should rather be understood as an ambivalent registration of the encroaching feelings of disillusionment precipitated by the onset of Angola's neoliberal era. With reference to Jacques Lacan's concept of "the act," I read this ambivalence as a specifically ethical dilemma and draw attention to problems of communication and narrative in radical political movements.

Full textAbstract:
The ancient kingdom of Angola, or more precisely Ndongo—which until 1671 essentially existed in the area north of the Kwanza River in presentday Angola—and the neighboring state of Kasanje, which was established by the Mbangala around 1630—belong to what is historiographically one of the more privileged areas of Africa, the history of which is documented by written sources extending back into the sixteenth century. These sources are even quite numerous, and, because of their diverse nature, often complement each other. Thus there are documentary as well as narrative sources, eyewitness accounts as well as other types. Particularly primary, but also secondary (as well as “tertiary” and “quaternary”) sources differ greatly in quality. Despite such differences they share one common factor: virtually without exception they were written by members of foreign, non-African cultures, who came to the area as conquerors, slave traders, and missionaries.However, the greatest problem these sources pose for historians is not their bias—for their authors were all more or less deeply involved in the contemporary political and economic circumstances that they purport to document. Rather, by far the gravest problem for anyone wishing to write not just Portuguese colonial history, butAfricanhistory, is that none of these authors, unlike those who wrote about neighboring Kongo, lived at the African courts or among Africans (let alone were intimately aquainted with their culture), so that they were not able to observe or experience events directly from the inside. This considerably reduces the scope of the history that can be reconstructed and risks unjustifiably narrowing or distorting the historical perspective. The few exceptions, such as the reports told by the English slave trader Andrew Battell and the comprehensive syntheses left us by Antonio Cavazzi—both of which unfortunately have been published only as second or third hand renderings of their accounts—thus are accorded even greater historiographical weight.

O objetivo deste artigo é fomentar o debate sobre a importância do desenvolvimento do pensamento crítico nos estudantes de graduação em Pedagogia no Instituto Superior de Ciências da Educação-Cuanza Sul. Baseando-se nos resultados da pesquisa, foi desenvolvida uma estratégia didática enfocando o processo de ensino-aprendizagem e os problemas profissionais do professor e do futuro professor, que estruturou-se desde a Didática como conteúdo do trabalho científico-metodológico e como fonte integradora do currículo. Foi proposta uma prática para investigar a necessidade sobre a reflexão docente crítica e ativa desde o desenho curricular. Desse modo, buscou-se em autores como Ennis, R. H. (1987); Richard, Paul (1993); Piette (1996); Lipman, Matthew (1988); e outros que debatem o pensamento crítico, elementos para a realização da investigação e empregou-se o enfoque dialético materialista na sua condição de método científico. Problematiza-se, então, compromissos e desafios do docente para afrontar a passividade dos estudantes, bem como desenvolver as potencialidades e capacidades de analisar, avaliar, interrogar, investigar, argumentar e experimentar, de modo que esses possam tornar-se sujeitos ativos na sala de aula. Os docentes que atuam na licenciatura devem comprometer-se com o desenvolvimento das capacidades de pensamento nas suas práticas de ensino aos futuros profissionais da educação, preparando-os para a vida, de modo que possam intervir e agir para a transformação da realidade, em favor de uma sociedade mais justa, mudando para uma ação destinada a preparar as pessoas para uma melhor inserção no mercado de trabalho ou para um melhor e mais adequado aproveitamento das oportunidades oferecidas.Palavras-chave: Pensamento crítico; Desenvolvimento; Formação; Ensino e aprendizagem. ABSTRACT: The purpose of this article is to promote the debate about the importance of the development of critical thinking in graduation students in Pedagogy at the Higher Institute of Educational Sciences-Cuanza Sul. Based on the research results, a didactic strategy was developed focusing on the teaching-learning process and the professional problems of the teachers, structured from Didactics as a content of the scientific-methodological work for the curriculum. It was proposed a practice to investigate the need for critical and active teacher reflection from curriculum design. We sought authors like Ennis, R. H. (1987); Richard, Paul (1993); Piette (1996); Lipman, Matthew (1988); and others who debate critical thinking, elements of the research, and the materialist dialectical approach, that was employed as a scientific method. The teacher's commitments and challenges are then problematized to confront student passivity, as well as to develop the potentialities and capacities to analyze, evaluate, interrogate, investigate, argue and experiment, so that they can become active subjects in the classroom. Teachers who work in the graduation must commit themselves to the development of the thinking capacities in their teaching practices to the future professionals of education, preparing them for life, so that they can intervene and act for the transformation of reality in favor from a more just society, shifting to an action designed to prepare people for a better insertion in the labor market or for a better and more adequate use of the opportunities offered.Keywords: Critical thinking; Development; Teaching and learning.

Full textAbstract:
Investigates descriptions of Afro-Caribbean dances in early chronicles and historical material. Author focuses on choreography, as well as on musical instruments and their use. He pays special attention to descriptions of the Martinican kalenda dance. He discusses descriptions from the 18th c. of black Caribbean dance in French and other colonies, by priests and others, of the kalenda as a couple dance within a ring, and descriptions of other widespread early dances in the Caribbean, such as chica. Author notes that in these early descriptions the authors focus obsessively on eroticism, thus simplifying and exaggerating the dances as sexual, and ignoring their variety. Further, he analyses early chronicles on other widespread dances in the circum-Caribbean, such as stick-fighting dances, bamboula, djouba, and belair, comparing with present-day Caribbean dances, and on "challenge dancing" involving a dance soloist "challenged" by a lead drummer, found, for instance, in kalenda and rumba. In addition, the author focuses on the dances' musical accompaniment by drums, and the drum types and methods, specifically transverse drumming and drumming with sticks on the side of the drum, found today in kalenda, and other Caribbean styles. He points at the inaccuracy of some chronicles, mixing up dance names, and recurring superficiality and stereotypes. He nonetheless concludes from them that slaves from the Congo/Angola region probably played a crucial role in forming these early dance styles, and that their spread was connected with French colonialism and slavery and migrations from (once) French colonies. He describes probable Congolese/Angolan influences, such as pelvic isolation, challenge dances, couple dancing within a circle, and transverse drumming, but indicates that these are over time combined with other African and other influences.

On nowadays multiphase and the facies heterogeneity of the formations are distinguished at the study of kimberlite pipes. Most researchers associate the formation of diamonds only with the mantle source. To date, satellite minerals with specific compositions associated with kimberlite diamonds have been identified as deep mantle diamond association. They are extracted from the concentrate of the kimberlites heavy fraction and may reflect the diamond grade of the pipe. For some minerals in the diamond association, however, they can not be reliable. Some researchers also revealed shallow diamond associations, related to the formation of serpentine, calcite, apatite, and phlogopite. There is recent data on the formation of diamonds in rocks of the oceanic crust. In the last years microdiamonds were identified in chromites of the oceanic crust in association with antigorite formed at 350-650 °C and 0.1-1.6 GPa. As a result, the authors established a postmagmatic kimberlitic stage of diamond formation associated with secondary mineral associations based on the experimental and mineralogical data for the conditions of the shallow upper mantle and crust. Mineralogical and petrographic studies of Angolan kimberlite pipe show that antigorite is the indicator mineral of this stage.

Full textAbstract:
China is experiencing a fast and dynamic phase of economic development driven by its fast pace of industrialisation. The vast energy demand has pushed China to import energy from other countries with plentiful natural resources. To this aim, China conducts economic diplomacy worldwide, including Angola, a country with plentiful natural resources in Africa. The main concern of this research is China's economic diplomacy which is considered as a form of neocolonialism in this globalisation era. Therefore, the research question of this research is why China's economic diplomacy towards Angola constitutes neocolonialisation. To this aim, this study utilises the Neocolonialism theory in dissecting China's Economic Diplomacy against Angola. This study uses qualitative method with a case study approach using secondary data. Thus, the basis for this research is the author's interpretation. This research concludes that China's economic diplomacy towards Angola constitutes neocolonialisation since the economic means that China exerts on Angola enables China to indirectly control Angola's politics, economy and natural resources, which in turn leads to Angola's dependence on China.

IntroductionIllness anxiety disorder, or hypochondriasis, is one the most difficult and complex psychiatric disorders to treat.ObjectivesTo describe a case of a patient with illness anxiety disorder and summarize the most important aspects on this theme.MethodsInterviews with the patient and literature review searching the PubMed/MEDLINE were performed.ResultsA 42-year-old married man, dentist, Angolan citizen, who had recently arrived in Portugal, was referred to psychiatry assessment during his hospitalization in medicine service, after an exhaustive medical evaluation. He was excessively anxious and worried about having a severe heart disease because he has gradually become more aware of palpitations and chest pain. Although negative results of the examinations he was worried that “something has been missed”. After he had consulted several medical providers in Luanda, he decided to seek medical advice in Portugal. Patient believed that his symptoms exacerbated with activity and intake food, so he gradually restricted them. Due to his health anxiety, he stopped his work and lost 36 kilos. Shortly before the onset of the clinical picture, his daughter was hospitalized for the first time.ConclusionIllness anxiety disorder often begins in early to middle adulthood. Its core feature is the fear or idea of having a serious disease, based on the misinterpretation of bodily signs and sensations as evidence of disease, which persists despite appropriate medical evaluations and reassurance. This patient fulfills the DSM-5 criteria of Illness anxiety disorder and has a clinical profile similar to those found in literature.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Abstract The major modes of seasonal sea surface temperature (SST) meridional gradient and their connection with some regional mean SST indices in the Atlantic Ocean are examined using reanalysis data. The focus of the work is on the evolution of the dominant mode of the meridional SST gradient in boreal spring and the associated physical processes. The spatial distribution of the dominant mode in boreal spring is a seesaw pattern, reflecting the opposite variation of the meridional SST gradient between the subtropical and tropical North Atlantic, which resulted from a coherent warming or cooling with maxima along 10°–15°N. It is confirmed that this mode is dominated by the wind–evaporation–SST feedback. The feedback persists a longer time in the western Atlantic than in the eastern. The contribution to the SST variation is mainly from latent heat flux. The surface longwave and shortwave cloud radiative forcings are mainly determined by low cloud cover variations. The authors also found that the thermodynamic mode that peaked in boreal spring becomes weak in the following boreal summer. A similar thermodynamic mode appears in a northward position in boreal autumn, and its life cycle is shorter than the one in boreal spring. In contrast to the leading mode in boreal spring, it is shown that the leading mode in boreal summer is a dynamical air–sea feedback mode, reflecting a coherent warming or cooling pattern extending from the Angolan coast toward the equator in the Gulf of Guinea. The thermodynamic processes act as a negative feedback. The net surface latent heat flux anomalies are the leading damping factor, while the sensible heat flux plays the same role on a smaller scale.

Full textAbstract:
The current manuscript aims to reverberate the ordinary past: intersubjective relations in the interior of African continent through commercial and diplomatic charters. The cultural symbol-code is reframed, owing to interrelationship with geographical, political and institutional circumstances and historical conditions that foster re-interpretation of code, focused on unveiling the subjectivation and individuation’s process of the African black during 16th and 17th centuries. The object of this study is commercial and diplomatic charters circulate during 16th and 17th centuries and three Ambaquistas’ charters or their disciples circulate during 19th century. In methodological terms, it has adopted a qualitative research, by review of literature, anchored on historical and anthropological perspective, to discuss, through bibliographical research, based on authors: Vansina (2000); Heintz (2005); Margarido (2000) e Santos (2004), the organization, social and political structure of the different temporalities of the event in a diachronic way. To describe the architecture of the epistolary genre of the Ambaquistas’ charters or their disciples was used the following categories: the textual elements and the paratextual elements subdivide into pre-text and post-text. To analysis the constitutive elements of textual materiality of the charters, it has used theoretical framework from Anthropology, Psychoanalysis and French Discourse Analysis for the purpose of indicating the subjectivation and individuation’s marks of the socio-historical subject, Angolan citizen. The author concludes that the charters’ discursive formation values hermetic cosmos in the subjectivation and individuation’s process of African black, makes him impossible not only for experiencing and living the symbolic interactionism, the cultural imaginary in the identity formulation, but also value his respective diacritic signals, because of tensions, identitary clashes and relations of power that profile the different temporalities of social, political and economic structure in the interior of African continent.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze the factors that influence the profitability of 17 banks in Angola between 2010 and 2016, as low profitability weakens the ability and willingness of banks to finance the wider economy. Design/methodology/approach The paper conducts panel data analysis, using two measures of profitability: the return on average assets and the return on average equity. Several control variables were included concerning both bank-specific and macroeconomic characteristics which have not been considered in previous studies. Findings The authors conclude that several independent variables have an impact which is different from expected, especially regarding ownership, which shows positive statistically significant effect on banks’ profitability. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first attempt to examine determinants of banks’ profitability in Angola, both internal and external, which have not been considered in previous studies.

Full textAbstract:
Sanctions have a long history, which spans over two thousand years. In fact, the first recorded cases of sanctions go as far back as ancient Greece. In the Middle Ages, such measures were formalized in legislation and were called repressalia. Under their current name, sanctions came to be known after World War I: the power to deploy sanctions was described in the League of Nations' Covenant. After the establishment of the United Nations, such measures were included into the Chapter VII of the UN Charter. Traditionally, sanctions are seen as a foreign policy tool falling between diplomacy and military force and applied in response to the undesirable actions of a certain state. Unlike diplomatic intervention efforts, sanctions have a more pronounced economic effect and are seen as more likely to bring the desired change in the target state's behaviour on the international arena. Unlike military force, sanctions are a less costly alternative and they also carry less risk of further escalation of the conflict. Lately, the topic of international sanctions has gained much urgency worldwide and has been actively discussed in the academic circles. The debates mostly centre around the impact of sanctions on the target's economy and their appropriateness as a foreign policy tool. There is, however, a perceived shortage of studies providing a comprehensive analysis of sanctions' impact on the regional, national and international levels as well as the specific tools of sanction policy and their effectiveness. More inquiry is needed into the challenges faced by target countries as well as the whole international community in relation to sanctions. The papers included in this special issue can be divided into three groups. The first group deals with the theory and methodology of sanctions studies. A.A.Pobedin in his paper 'Reconsidering Contemporary Classifications of Sanctions in the Light of the Russia Sanctions Regime' systematizes the approaches to the classification of international economic sanctions and proposes a qualitative model that can be used to examine specific sanctions regimes. The second group of studies includes the papers analyzing specific sanctions episodes. Special attention is given to comparative analysis of sanctions in different countries. I.V.Lazanyuk and D.Mambu Diu investigate the development of the Angolan economy under the pressure of sanctions. The authors focus on the role and mechanisms of the sanctions adopted by Western countries against Angola and some other African states. O.S.Sukharev and E.N.Voronchikhina compare the development of Iran and Russia during their respective sanctions episodes by looking at the dynamics of each country's macro-indicators. L.L.Bozhko in her paper 'Challenges of Anti-Russia Sanctions for Metals and Mining Enterprises in Kazakhstan' considers the problem from the perspective of Kazakhstan, which is not targeted by sanctions but is nevertheless affected by them because of its close trade ties with Russia. The study aims to identify and describe the strategies and models of behaviour used by Kazakhstani companies to avoid the risks of secondary sanctions. The third group comprises articles discussing the impact of sanctions on specific economic sectors and regions of Russia. I.S.Belik, N.V.Starodubets, A.I.Yachmeneva, and K.A. Prokopov estimate the potential losses incurred by Russian metal exporters due to the introduction of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism in the EU and the sanctions pressure. S.A.Balashova and T.Musin analyze the problems and prospects of the Russian cloud computing market under sanctions. Since further dynamics of the market is surrounded with uncertainty related to the behaviour of the key drivers and the possible introduction of new sanctions, several scenarios are built for the development of the Russian cloud market and implementation of cloud technologies. E.A. Zakharchuk considers three scenarios of economic development of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District, the largest oil and gas region of Russia, under sanctions. The article estimates the impact of the sanctions on specific areas of Yamal, especially the development of new hydrocarbon deposits in the Arctic. M.Y.Ilyushkina, A.V.Stepanov, G.N.Valiakhmetova, and A.S.Burnasov describe the tendencies and prospects of development of Russian industrial regions under sanctions. They focus on the case of Sverdlovsk region, which has a high concentration of mining and manufacturing (heavy engineering) enterprises.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to analyze the bank efficiency in three developing countries, namely Angola, Brazil and Mozambique, aiming to infer differences given that they belong to the same cultural tradition. The underlying idea is to control for the cultural background, thus allowing the discussion on how different socio-economic and historical variables maybe impacting different levels of banking efficiency and returns to scale results within the ambit of these three countries.Design/methodology/approachDue to the presence of latent inefficiency, the authors have to modify the technique to accommodate simulation by importance sampling; therefore, in effect, the authors use a local maximum simulated likelihood approach.FindingsThe results reveal that Brazil has the highest level of output-oriented efficiency, followed by Angola and then Mozambique. The same ranking is observed in returns to scale, except thatvis-à-vistechnical change, Brazil and Angola rank first. Finally, inefficiency derived from technical change is highest in Mozambique, followed by Angola and then Brazil. Therefore, these results reveal that the countries with the highest degree of development are higher in efficiency.Originality/valuePrevious studies have identified factors such as legal tradition, accounting conventions, regulatory structures, property rights, culture and religion as possible explanations for cross-border variations in financial development and economic growth. This is the first time banking efficiency is assessed in light of a common cultural background by selecting a group of countries that share the same language and colonial past. Since results are controlled for the same background, it is possible to affirm that the findings are purely related to scale size and economic/political background issues of each country.

Full textAbstract:
There is a dearth of published literature on health care systems in Angola. Like many sub-Saharan African countries, Angola is experiencing rapid urbanization. The authors provide an analysis of the health status, environmental health conditions, and health-related behavior of the urban poor in Luanda, Angola. Although data are patchy and rarely disaggregated to reveal severe conditions in the shanty towns, a grave picture emerges. An average infant mortality rate of 104/1,000, with malaria and intestinal infections the main causes of death in children under 1 year old, reflects the poor environmental conditions, which are worsening as urbanization continues at a rapid rate. Use of health services is limited; for example, 50 percent of women give birth at home, mainly unassisted, and only 28 percent of children are covered by measles immunization (as validated by card). A discussion of existing health strategies, programs, and their constraints is set in the context of the future possibilities of the ending of the 15-year war and the introduction of structural adjustment policies.

Scientific journals play an important role as a channel for communicating scientific research results around the world. In recent years, the number of electronic scientific journals in Angola has increased, despite their low visibility internationally. The objective of this article is to describe the profile of electronic scientific journals in Angola. This is an exploratory and documentary research, in which a total of 14 web pages of scientific journals were observed, using a form, containing a control list with the following items: year of creation, responsible institution, area of knowledge, periodicity of publications, last publication, indexing in databases, use of ORCiD by authors and information on the date of submission, acceptance and publication of originals. The results indicate that more than half of the scientific journals are multidisciplinary in nature and were created between 2012 and 2019; They are linked to Higher Education Institutions and are indexed in at least one database, with biannual publications. However, the study also shows that the majority have not published for at least a year. It is concluded that the profile of electronic scientific journals in Angola reflects the country's academic and scientific context, with many challenges to be overcome in this area.

AbstractThe pyroclastic carbonatitic rocks from the Catanda volcanic area (Angola) contain annite and phlogopite grains which have been affected to a significant extent by vermiculitization. A mineralogical study of these micas has revealed that the annite was altered to K-vermiculite while vermiculitization of phlogopite generated Ca-vermiculite. Intermediate alteration products such as intergrowths of phlogopite/Ca-vermiculite were also found, but interstratified crystals of phlogopite/ vermiculite, a common intermediate product during vermiculitization processes, are not reported in the Catanda rocks. The two types of vermiculitized micas show ‘accordion’ textures, related to the expansion of vermiculite. To the authors’ knowledge, the present study is the first report of expanded vermiculites described in natural rocks and not generated as a consequence of industrial processing.

Recently prestigious local publishing houses have been publishing a growing number of geographical descriptions of Hungary in English. While these publications are of outstanding design, the authors do not use the names of geographical objects in Hungary in a standardized manner. As a result, the foreign reader may find distinct variants of the same name within the same book. This can encumber the interpretation of information, and the identification of certain geographical features on maps. The author examines the peculiarities of naming lakes in Hungarian and in English while exploring the spelling rules behind the name forms in both languages. The author then compares several examples taken from Hungary with the names of lakes in English-speaking countries. Finally, the author proposes that the English standardized equivalents of the Hungarian names for lakes should be used more consistently.

Full textAbstract:
Breast milk is considered the ideal form of nutrition for newborns and infants. However, it can carry over contaminants, namely mycotoxins, with biological effects to which this population is particularly vulnerable. Human biomonitoring and surveillance programs are particularly scarce in low-income countries, where food security is a more urgent priority in comparison with food safety. This pilot survey aims to assess exposure of breastfed infants to aflatoxin M1 (AFM1), zearalenone (ZEN), and ochratoxin A (OTA) in Angola, and to evaluate the main socio-demographical and food consumption determinants of lactating mothers. All 37 breast milk samples analyzed are found to be contaminated with ZEN and OTA, although none are found contaminated with AFM1. Contamination levels are lower than previously reported for ZEN but higher in the case of OTA. A significant association between ZEN levels in breast milk and the consumption of cookies by the lactating mothers is found. As for OTA, higher levels are observed in the milk from mothers with younger infants, for which high estimated daily intake (EDI) is determined. As far as the authors are aware, this is the first survey of the occurrence of mycotoxins in breast milk in Angola, so further human biomonitoring works should follow, given that mycotoxins are a global health issue that directly impact the health of populations.

The article focuses on a captivating period in the history of Russia-Angola relations when UNITA, a military and political group headed by Jonas Savimbi, mounted a military mutiny in Luanda, the country’s capital, and other major cities to seize power by force in anticipation of its defeat in the 1992 general election. It is during these troubled days that the government troops from the People’s Armed Forces for the Liberation of Angola (FAPLA) demonstrated their courage, military excellence and political judgement. The same applied to the special forces and the country’s political leadership who had all benefi ted from many years of training by Soviet and later Russian military instructors and political mentors. The article presents the views of its authors who were directly involved in these events, finding themselves at the centre of the standoff between UNITA and the ruling MPLA-Labour Party. All the agencies and services in the Embassy coordinated their actions on the Embassy premises, as well as across various parts of the city. By doing so, they succeeded in providing the Ambassador with updates from various sources, enabling the mission to report the developments in the country to Moscow in real time. The article stresses the need to ensure that staff members at Russian missions abroad are ready to face challenging and non-standard circumstances that may occur during government coups or in other extraordinary situations in a given country.

The main purpose of the article is to present analysis of comic book Nô Pintcha which – as we state – is the exceptional example of visual representation of theory of education from period of early independence of former portuguese colonies in Africa. Nô Pintcha was published in 1978 during the summit of ministers of education and educators from Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea Bissau, Mozambique and São Tomé. Authors of Nô Pintcha considered comic book as a apendix to the basic literacy campaign in Guinea Bissau. Theory of education which was used during literacy campaign had origins of emancipatory popular education of Paulo Freire. Thus the analysis presented in this paper lies parallely in looking for the Nô Pintcha in perspective of comic book theory as well in looking for traces Freire’s theory.

This paper examines the labor market effect of the retornados who immigrated to Portugal from Angola and Mozambique in the mid-1970s following Portugal's loss of its African colonies. The retornados increased the Portuguese labor force by roughly 10% in just three years. Two analyses suggest contrasting conclusions. First, comparisons of Portugal with Spain and France indicate that any adverse effect of the retornados was quantitatively swamped by the Europe-wide downturn in labor market conditions in the 1970s. Second, comparisons between districts within Portugal indicate that the retornados may have had a strong adverse effect on Portuguese wages, suggesting that immigration may be considerably more harmful than previous case studies have concluded. The authors, however, regard the results of the within-Portugal analysis as less reliable than those of the comparison across countries.

Full textAbstract:
This article intends to assess the impact of the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting Project (BEPS) Multilateral Instrument (MLI) on tax treaties concluded by non-signatory jurisdictions. To achieve this goal, the authors initiated the analysis with forty-four countries that are members the BEPS Inclusive Framework but have not yet signed the MLI. Out of these forty-four countries, the authors focused on those that had tax treaties signed or amended after 2017 which has narrowed down the scope to the following countries: Angola, Botswana, Brazil, Cape Verde, Congo, Maldives, Thailand, and Vietnam. In this context, the article examines the tax treaty-related BEPS measures that were adopted by these countries in their bilateral tax treaties, addressing the merits and potential consequences of the choices made by non-signatory jurisdictions. Based on the findings of the research, the article concludes that the impact of the MLI varies significantly depending on the tax treaty policy of each country and that, thus far, it has been limited primarily to the minimum standards on dispute resolution. Multilateral instrument, non-signatory countries, tax treaty policy, minimum standard, bilateral tax treaty negotiation, BEPS implementation, hybrid mismatches, treaty abuse, permanent establishment, dispute resolution.

Since the turn of the millennium, conceptual and practice-oriented shifts in global health have increasingly given emphasis to health indicator production over research and interventions that emerge out of local social practices, environments and concerns. In this special issue of Anthropology in Action, we ask whether such globalised contexts allow for, recognise and sufficiently value the research contributions of our discipline. We question how global health research, ostensibly inter- or multi-disciplinary, generates knowledge. We query ‘not-knowing’ practices that inform and shape global health evidence as influenced by funders’ and collaborators’ expectations. The articles published here provide analyses of historical and ethnographic field experiences that show how sidelining anthropological contributions results in poorer research outcomes for the public. Citing experiences in Latin America, Angola, Senegal, Nigeria and the domain of global health evaluation, the authors consider anthropology’s roles in global health.

Purpose In the past few decades, there have been phenomenal increases in capital flows to developing and emerging markets. However, a key question that has largely remained unanswered is whether the expected economic benefits have materialized. Existing studies have concentrated on the impact of capital flows on domestic investment in developing countries, emerging markets, transition economies, ECOWAS and sub-Saharan Africa, leaving an important economic bloc, OPEC. This paper aims to assess the impact of capital flows on domestic investment in OPEC countries – with a view to determining whether capital flows crowd in or crowd out domestic investment. Design/methodology/approach For the empirical analysis, the authors used the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) technique. Findings The empirical results provide evidence that capital flows crowd out domestic investment in all the OPEC countries considered, except for Angola and Kuwait. The authors further extended the analysis to disaggregated capital flows (FDI, portfolio investment). Evidence from the different capital flows components revealed that, for most countries, the different capital flows components also crowd out domestic investment. Originality/value To the best of the author’s knowledge, no study has empirically addressed the effect of capital flows on domestic investment in OPEC countries. This study, therefore, constitutes an interesting empirical contribution and a novel idea in the literature.

Full textAbstract:
Reconstructed in social contexts, the memories of forced migration experiences such as those lived by filmmakers Diana Andringa and António Escudeiro – who had to leave Angola, the country where they had been born and raised – are now being highlighted, shared, and negotiated in the current audiovisual context. The documentaries analyzed in this work, Escudeiro’s Goodbye, Until Tomorrow (2007) and Andringa’s Dundo, Colonial Memory (2009), allow us to reflect on how these memories of migration experiences are portrayed in contemporary Portuguese cinema. In this article, we argue that autobiographical narratives – oral and visual – are privileged sites for investigating cultural identity and its construction. Our thematic analysis of these two documentaries was complemented by an in-depth interview with the authors. This multi-method approach allowed us to investigate the social and cultural contexts in which they lived, as well as the meanings of home and belonging to the two filmmakers.

“The challenge of democracy” is a work that aims to deepen the elementary concepts of democracy, within the scope of political sociology, but with a focus very much on teachers, since these are the 'true' artisans, the great builders of democracy. society. The objective of this work is to show how the teacher's work greatly shapes the society that is projected. Therefore, they should know a little more about democracy as it is an object of learning; she grows with school. Important concepts are presented that can help people enter “with their feet on the ground” what democracy is, which must be implemented in the daily lives of citizens. Being an eminently bibliographic investigation, the points of view of authors from various schools and different geographies are presented, which lead towards this aim. From a methodological point of view, the rational deductive methods that start from general reasoning to the particular and the inductive one that goes from particularities to generalizations were remarkable. We had some comparisons and gave high consideration to the historical-logical aspect. The results are achieved based on three approaches: 1. Starting point for the perception of democracy, where important concepts for implementing this reality are highlighted; 2. Remember Lincoln, Churchill, Schumpeter…, where different points of view are pointed out but which lead to a concrete understanding of what democratic reality is in everyday life; 3. Democratic Angola, where we seek to make a small foray into the history of Angola, which from 1991 onwards made its choice for the political system that seeks to have sovereignty in the will of the people.

There are so many types of mixed cats from various cat breeds, so many people find it difficult to identify and classify them. Therefore, we need a method that can classify the type of cat breeds. In this study the authors used the K-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN) algorithm to make it easier to recognize and classify cat breeds based on certain characteristics. The author took samples of 2 types of cat races, namely the Anggora race and the Kampung race. The implementation stage is to determine the euclidean distance and sort it and then determine the value of K to find the nearest neighbor. In testing, the authors used 50 training data and 50 test data with 6 attributes used, namely body shape, nose width, nose height, food type, hair type and hair length. The results of the classification of cat breeds using the k-NN method obtained an accuracy rate of 94% and an error rate of 6%.

Abstract This study examines 6 yr of cloud properties observed by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board the NASA Terra satellite in five prominent marine boundary layer (MBL) cloud regions (California, Peru, Canary, Angola, and Australia) and investigates their relationships with near-surface meteorological parameters obtained from NCEP reanalyses. About 62 000 independent scenes are used to examine the instantaneous relationships between cloud properties and meteorological parameters that may be used for global climate model (GCM) diagnostics and parameterization. Cloud liquid water path (LWP) generally increases with lower-tropospheric stability (LTS) and lifting condensation level (LCL), whereas cloud drizzle frequency is favored by weak LTS and negligible cold air advection. Cloud fraction (CF) depends strongly on variations in LTS, and to a lesser extent on surface air temperature advection and LCL, although the relationships vary from region to region. The authors propose capturing the effects of these three parameters on CF via their linear combination in terms of a single parameter, the effective lower-tropospheric stability (eLTS). Results indicate that eLTS offers a marked improvement over LTS alone in explaining the median CF variations within the different study regions. A parameterization of CF in terms of eLTS is provided, which produces results that are improved over those of Klein and Hartmann’s LTS-only parameterization. However, the new parameterization may not predict the observed variability correctly, and the authors propose a method that might address this shortcoming via a statistical approach.
