Capacidades Analíticas no Processo de Produção de Políticas Públicas: Quais Fontes de Evidências Utilizam o Serviço Civil da Administração Pública Federal?

O objetivo central deste estudo foi identificar quais fontes de evidências usa o serviço civil da Administração Pública Federal brasileira (APF) no processo de produção da política pública. A partir da análise estatística descritiva e multivariada, recorremos às informações de 2000 servidores da APF sobre o uso de evidências, considerando (1) as características demográficas do serviço civil da APF; (2) tipos de função na política pública; (3) diferentes órgãos da administração federal; (4) tipos de cargos na administração federal e (5) áreas de política pública. Os resultados apontam que, em média, a depender da função exercida na política pública e da natureza da política pública, diferentes fontes de evidência são recorridas. Além disso, os órgãos se diferenciam no grau de recorrência a essas fontes.
Error Pointing Correction System Implemented in the Air Balloon Communication System

In this study the design of WLAN-based communication systems will be carried out, which consists of various devices assembled into a payload to be flown in air balloons, communication will be carried out to connect balloons at a frequency of 5.18GHz and for communication between balloons and system users. working at 2.4GHz frequency, after the balloon has been flown successfully, one of the problems that will arise is the movement of the balloon on the azimuth axis which will affect the level of received power by the receiving balloon (second balloon), because this will make the automation system to correct the position of the antenna in the transmitter balloon and receiver balloon to return to the position, from the system that has been running shows an error in the error pointing correction system, the minimum error is 0 degrees which means there is no error, while the biggest deviation is 0.858 or equal to 0, 3 dBm is utilized, the deviation is 0.476% the amount of power received by the receiving antenna drops to 73.015% of the maximum value (LOS) at a measured distance, after the automation system works the value goes back to 99.84%.
Empathetic hearers perceive repetitions as less disfluent, especially in non-broadcast situations

: This experiment measures the impact of the communicative situation on perceived fluency in French speech. We consider three dimensions of fluency: grammatical, discursive and socio-interpersonal. We first hypothesise that grammatical fluency is less influenced by contextual constraints than the other two dimensions. Furthermore, taking into account the Interpersonal Reactivity Index of each participant, we hypothesise that hearers with higher interpersonal capacities will be more tolerant in their fluency evaluation, because of their ability to project into the speaker’s mind. The strength of the design rests on the proposal to test natural stimuli and integrate social and individual variables in a perception experiment. DOI
Effects of Rubric-Referenced Self-Assessment Training on Korean High School Students’ English Writing

The present study attempts to provide empirical and qualitative evidence to support the feasibility of rubric-referenced self-assessment to promote learning in a Korean high school EFL context. Over four rubric-referenced self-assessment lessons, with the help of a teacher’s instructions, students wrote a first draft and assessed it using a scoring rubric. Drawing on this self-assessment, they wrote a second draft, also followed by a self-assessment as well as a self-assessment diary. As quantitative data, the scores of the first draft of the first class were compared with those of the second draft of the fourth class. Survey questionnaires, interviews, self-assessment diaries, and essay selfassessments served as qualitative data. The findings are, first, rubric-referenced selfassessment showed positive effects on students’ writing quality. Second, students came to perceive the effectiveness of rubric-referenced self-assessment. Lastly, rubricreferenced self-assessment positively influenced students’ learning strategies and attitudes. These results imply that rubric-referenced self-assessment promotes learning in a Korean high school EFL context, leading students to become self-regulated learners that take responsibility for their own learning.
Joint Minimization of Wired and Wireless Traffic for Content Delivery by Multicast Pushing

As more mobile users become subscribers of content services, their subscribed content can be directly pushed from the content provider into the user equipment after the content is generated. In current and future network paradigms, a joint wired and wireless transmission design for this pushing is needed to guarantee the user experience without the extra deployment of communication infrastructures or consumption of resources. In this paper, we investigate a joint wired and wireless content delivery system that incorporates wired and wireless multicast. The users in the same group are served by wireless multicast from a base station (BS), while the BSs of the same content form a multicast tree in a backbone wired network. The sum of wired and wireless traffic is minimized by a joint design of user grouping, subchannel allocation, wired routing, and wired link usage. Exploiting the monotonicity of wired and wireless traffic with regard to the wired hop count, the original problem is converted for searching the optimal hop count vector that achieves the minimum sum of both types of traffic, which is solved by a monotonic optimization (MO)-based iterative algorithm. Compared with existing schemes and according to the numerical results, a reduction in total traffic of 43% can be achieved by our approach.
Three loop QCD corrections to heavy quark form factors

Higher order calculations in perturbative Quantum Field Theories often produce coupled linear systems of differential equations which factorize to first order. Here we present an algorithm to solve such systems in terms of iterated integrals over an alphabet the structure of which is implied by the coefficient matrix of the given system. We apply this method to calculate the master integrals in the color–planar and complete light quark contributions to the three-loop massive form factors.
Maintaining my employment: Learning from people living and working with mental illness

Introduction Engagement in occupation, including employment, is central to mental health recovery. However, evidence demonstrates that people living with mental illness struggle to maintain their employment. The aim of this qualitative study was to gain a rich understanding of the experiences of people living with mental illness who have managed to maintain their employment, and specifically, the strategies they actively choose and use to stay in work. Method Semi-structured interviews explored the perspectives of 10 people living with mental illness who were successfully maintaining their employment. Data were analysed using constant comparative analysis. Results Participants described maintaining employment through a conscious and active process of using individualised combinations of specific strategies within the broader categories of: identifying and connecting with helpful people; looking after all of me; having a job that fits with who I am; staying motivated; positive reflection and re-framing; and choosing and using strategies in the workplace. Conclusion Occupational therapists might better support long-term employment outcomes for people living with mental illness by adopting a more recovery-oriented approach, facilitating people to actively identify, choose and use their own strategies to maintain employment.
Feature Learning Using Convolutional Neural Network for Cardiac Arrest Detection

Arrhythmias including ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia, which are known as shockable rhythms, are the mainly cause of sudden cardiac arrests (SCA). In this paper, we propose a feature learning scheme applied for detection of SCA on electrocardiogram signal with the modified variational mode decomposition technique. The subsequent SAA consists of a convolutional neural network as a feature extractor (CNNE) and a support vector machine classifier. The features extracted by selected CNNE are then validated using 5-folds CV procedure on the evaluation data, and enable the accuracy of 99.02 %, sensitivity of 95.21 %, and specificity of 99.31 %.
Autonomous Intelligent Agents for Team Training

The rise in autonomous system research and development combined with the maturation of computational cognitive architectures holds the promise of high-cognitive-fidelity agents capable of operating as team members for training. We report an ACT-R model capable of operating as a team member within a remotely piloted aerial system, and provide results from a first-of-its-kind controlled, randomized empirical evaluation in which teams that worked with an AST were compared against all-human teams. Our results demonstrate that ASTs can be incorporated into human teams, providing training opportunities when teammates are unavailable. We conclude with issues faced in developing ASTs and lessons learned for future and current developers.
Knowledge Construction Patterns in Online Conversation: A Statistical Discourse Analysis of a Role-Based Discussion Forum

Assigning roles to individual students can influence the group’s knowledge construction (KC) process during online discussions. Twenty-one students were divided into two groups and assigned rotating roles for eight one-week asynchronous online discussions. The KC contributions of all 252 posts in the discussion were coded using a five phase scheme; then statistical discourse analysis was applied to identify segments of discussion characterized by particular aspects of KC and “pivotal posts”—those posts which initiated new segments of discussion. Finally, the influences of assigned student roles on pivotal posts and KC were modeled. The results indicate that most online discussions had a single pivotal post separating the discussion into two distinct segments: the first dominated by a lower KC phase; the second dominated by a higher KC phase. The pivotal posts that initiated later segments were often contributed mid-discussion by students playing one of two summarizing roles (Synthesizer and Wrapper).
Variation in the choice of filled pause: A language change, or a variation in meaning?

: The role of filled pauses in message structuring is a heavily debated question, but the result is still somewhat inconclusive. In this study, I consider this question jointly with sociolinguistic factors that have been thought to affect the choice of filled pause in American English. The results suggest that the use of uh is subject to higher variability across not only age groups, but also conversation topics and interlocutors. A latent semantic analysis found consistent difference between two forms of filled pause and silent pauses of varying duration in the primary latent dimension, but similarity between short silent pause and uh , as well as long silent pause and um in the second dimension. Therefore, the functional difference between um and uh should be acknowledged, and the observed change in their relative popularity is potentially related to their different meaning or function in the discourse.
Turkish validity and reliability study of the Body Esteem Scale

Method: The study sample consisted of 459 volunteers studying at the faculty of dentistry and the faculty of humanities and social sciences of a state university located in Izmir. Data were collected using the Body Esteem Scale (BES), Body Cathexis Scale (BCS), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), and a Demographic Information Form that recorded participants’ Body Mass Index (BMI) and personal information.
Does the provision of a native language maternity information DVD for non-English-speaking Somali women improve their knowledge of maternity care in a manner that they find acceptable and useful?

Introduction: It is well documented in the literature that many Somali women living in the UK do not speak English and have poor access to maternity services because of communication and language barriers. This project was designed to determine knowledge change and women’s acceptance of a maternity information Digital Video Disk (DVD), developed for non-English-speaking Somali women using a social marketing approach. Objectives of the Study: 1. To identify and recruit Somali women who do not speak English. 2. To test the participants’ knowledge of maternity services before and after watching the Somali maternity information DVD. 3. To assess whether the DVD was a useful and acceptable information format for Somali women by interviewing the participants during the postnatal period. 4. To note any change of behaviour linked to maternity care as a result of this study. Method: The theoretical framework for this project is based on the principles of social marketing. The knowledge change, acceptability and usefulness of a maternity information DVD, specifically developed for Somali women, were explored using a mixed data collection method (pre- and post-DVD viewing knowledge tests and post-natal semi-structured interviews). Fourteen Somali women completed every aspect of this study. Findings and Discussion: It was evident that most Somali women who took part in this study lacked knowledge of maternity information. This was demonstrated by the variance (6.7) between the pre- and post-DVD knowledge tests’ scores of the participants in this study. The participants explained that the information and knowledge they received from the DVD raised their awareness and empowered them to make informed choices and decisions. As a result of the findings from this study, a new application of the concept of cultural safety in maternity care was developed, illustrating how use of a relevant DVD may enhance maternity cultural safety. Conclusion: In conclusion, the study has shown that the provision of a native language maternity information DVD to non-English-speaking Somali women improved their knowledge of maternity care in a manner that they found acceptable and useful. Recommendations: The DVD should be rolled out to a wider community and evaluated. YouTube or other similar media could be used to disseminate this further. Cultural safety should become part of education and training of health professionals and included in local and national policies. Furthermore, as this study was a pre-test of the DVD, there is a need for further research using a comparison group, preferably controlled.
Dialogic Status in Design Education: Authority and Peer Relations in Studio Class Conversations

In this article, I study role enactment and status relationships in university design studio classrooms. I analyze conversations that take place during discussions of student creative work, and I interpret them in the context of previous studies of learning, classroom discourse, and creativity. I found that professors and students jointly establish and maintain a complex and hybrid participation structure in which they enact dialogic status: they simultaneously perform both an authority relationship and a peer relationship. I analyzed the interactional mechanisms that dialogically perform these two status relationships, drawing on prior studies of role and status in conversation. I show that the dialogic blend of authority and peer relationships continuously and frequently varies throughout reviews of student work. Drawing on past studies of creativity in education, I argue that the joint enactment of dialogic status is an effective pedagogy for teaching and learning for creativity.
Advances in Qualitative Research about Psychosocial Experiences of Breast Cancer

This article reviewed 119 qualitative research reporters about the psychosocial experiences of breast cancer from CNKI and Pubmed databases(Jan.2000 to Dec.2010). There was no significant distinction in the ages of the study objects,but there was obvious difference in the study object,methods,angle and depth in these references.There was a difference in emphasis on the psychosocial experiences between domestic papers and international papers;the domestic researches were almost the single research:the object focused on breast cancer patients himself,the main methods were phenomenological research,the angle focused on clinical phase,the depth was limited to research on the influencing factors;while the abroad qualitative researches of breast cancer mental experience were much more diversified:the sample covers from the breast cancer patients to the families of the patients and the ordinary person,the research methods was from the simple qualitative research to the combination of the qualitative research and quantitative research,the research angle much more focused on the aspects of the social and cultural,the study in depth was from the influencing factors to the interfere study.
Processing disfluencies in distinct speaking styles: Idiosyncrasies and transversality

: This talk will tackle the idiosyncratic properties of disfluencies in distinct speaking styles, mostly university lectures (Trancoso et al., 2008) and map-task dialogues (Trancoso et al., 1998), but also featuring verbal fluency tests, and (more recently) second language learning presentations in ecological settings. It will also discuss the transversal acoustic-prosodic properties pertained across speaking styles. The main research questions are twofold: i) are there domain effects in the production of disfluencies when speakers adjust to distinct communicative contexts, as in university lectures and dialogues? ; ii) if domain effects do exist, are there still acoustic-prosodic properties that can be shared across domains?
Adat in Indonesian Land Law: A Promise for the Future or a Dead End?

At present the contestation of the Indonesian state’s dispossessory policies regarding land and other natural resources is dominated by a discourse based on adat. This situation is reminiscent of the colonial period, when invoking adat was a relatively effective means of protecting Indonesians from losing their land to plantation companies supported by the Netherlands–Indies government. However, adat lost its traction when Indonesia became independent and the new state started to vigorously pursue nation building and economic expansion. Only after the end of the New Order in 1998 did civil society groups revive the adat defence against dispossession. This article analyses current debates and developments concerning the place of adat in national land law and its potential for protecting communities against dispossession of their land by the Indonesian state. We argue that the promotion of adat has produced few concrete results and that it is unlikely to be more successful for this purpose in the future. Given Indonesia’s current social and political realities, any land rights strategy for protecting people against dispossession that is based on indigeneity is problematic, and alternative approaches are needed.
Can We Apply the Psychology of Risk Perception to Increase Earthquake Preparation?

Can we encourage people to prepare for a natural disaster by altering the way that scientific information about risk is presented? In assessing the risk posed by a particular hazard, people tend to be guided more strongly by their emotional reactions than by logical or statistical analysis; human beings are driven to protect themselves from risks that that they have actually experienced, that are easy to envision, or that are linked to vivid, concrete images. Thus, even if people recognize that earthquakes pose an important threat, they may be unmotivated to take action to prepare for this abstract risk in the absence of direct personal experience. Harnessing past research and theorizing, we developed a novel intervention to transform scientific information into vivid, emotionally evocative imagery. In a pre-registered study, 411 participants were shown publicly available statistics or a vivid, scientifically-grounded image of what a local school would look like after a major earthquake. When invited to sign a petition to make schools safer, 77.3% participants agreed after looking at the image compared to 68% who agreed after looking at statistics. These findings suggest that using vivid images to communicate scientific information can be an effective strategy for motivating people to support risk mitigation initiatives.
Whitening Italian sport: The construction of ‘Italianness’ in national sporting fields

This article examines the ways in which narrow understandings of race and Italianness are reproduced by those who govern and administer sport at elite levels of competition. By shedding light on how citizenship discourses establish who can and cannot represent the nation, I specifically focus upon the belongings and identities of Black, foreign-origin and mixed-heritage Italian women athletes. By doing so, this article elucidates the complex ways in which racially minoritized sportswomen fight for recognition within the Italian ‘imagined community’. This article suggests that despite their commitment to, and pride in, representing the nation, their struggles have not proved sufficient to re-define Italianness: that is, to make it more open and inclusive of non-white citizens.
A new sound mixing framework for enhanced emotive sound design within contemporary moving-picture audio production and post-production

This study comprises of an investigation into the relationship between the creative process of mixing moving-picture soundtracks and the emotions elicited by the final film. As research shows that listeners are able to infer a speaker’s emotion from auditory cues, independently from the meaning of the words uttered, it is possible that moving-picture soundtracks may be designed in such a way as to intentionally influence the emotional state and attitude of its listening-viewers, independently from the story and visuals of the film. This study sets out to determine whether certain aspects of audience emotions can be enhanced through specific ways of mix-balancing the soundtrack of a moving-picture production, primarily to intensify the viewing experience. Central to this thesis is the proposal that within a film soundtrack there are four distinct ‘sound areas’, described as the Narrative, Abstract, Temporal and Spatial; and these form a useful framework for both the consideration and the creation of emotional sound design. This research work evaluates to what extent the exploration of the Narrative, Abstract, Temporal and Spatial sound areas offers a new and useful framework for academics to better understand, and more easily communicate, emotive sound design theory and analysis; whilst providing practitioners with a framework to explore a new sound design approach within the bounds of contemporary workflow and methodology, to encourage an enhanced emotional engagement by the audience to the soundtrack. By analysing the work of sound theorists and practitioners, developing a new sound design framework and critically reflecting on personal creative practice, this research suggests that different ways of balancing a soundtrack can influence an audience’s emotional response to a film; and that the proposed Four Sound Areas framework is a useful way to look at the soundtrack when approaching a mix from the point of view of its emotional outcome.
