Princípios de responsabilidade social na Educação Superior: tendências na gestão de instituições confessionais

Este artigo aborda a forma como se processa a questão da responsabilidade social (RS) na gestão das Instituições de Educação Superior (IES), tendo como foco específico instituições do setor privado, sem fins lucrativos e de natureza confessional. Objetiva estudar as tendências em termos dos princípios norteadores, no âmbito da RS, adotados na gestão da educação superior pelas IES da Rede La Salle existentes no Brasil. Foi realizado um estudo de caso múltiplo, tomando como referência as cinco IES mantidas no Brasil pelos Irmãos Lassalistas, por meio da análise de conteúdo dos dados resultantes da aplicação de questionário a 66 gestores universitários (57,4% do total de gestores das IES lassalistas estudadas), bem como a análise documental do Plano de Desenvolvimento Institucional (PDI) de cada uma das IES estudadas. A pesquisa revela especificidades da gestão universitária a partir da identificação de quatro princípios norteadores: 1) postura ética e transparência nas ações; 2) educação e formação integral; 3) ambiente institucional de acolhimento, cuidado e valorização dos atores da ação educativa; 4) compromisso com a vida e a preservação do planeta.
Adaptive weighted scheme for improving mobile sensor node connectivity in IEEE 802.15.4 networks

Conventional IEEE802.15. 4 wireless sensor network is suitable for fixed sensor nodes. However, there are some issues with mobile sensor nodes joining or leaving the sensor network since the mobile sensor node is easier to lose its connectivity compared to the fixed sensor nodes. In order to regain its connectivity, the mobile sensor nodes must spend more time and energy to perform the re-association procedure, resulting in an efficiency decay of the sensor network. To solve this problem, we refer to the previous research to design an adaptive weighted link quality indicator prediction based scheme in the media access layer. The proposed scheme can reduce the non-connectivity time of mobile sensor node by early performing the re-association procedure. Additionally, we design a simple procedure to lessen the Ping-Pong effect problem without additional computation overhead, thereby improving stability of the connection between the mobile sensor node and its corresponding coordinator.
Elucidating the Potential Biological Impact of Cellulose Nanocrystals

Cellulose nanocrystals exhibit an interesting combination of mechanical properties and physical characteristics, which make them potentially useful for a wide range of consumer applications. However, as the usage of these bio-based nanofibers increases, a greater understanding of human exposure addressing their potential health issues should be gained. The aim of this perspective is to highlight how knowledge obtained from studying the biological impact of other nanomaterials can provide a basis for future research strategies to deduce the possible human health risks posed by cellulose nanocrystals.
Scaling Construction of Low Fan-out Overlays for Topic-Based Publish/Subscribe Systems

It is a key challenge and fundamental problem in the design of distributed publish/subscribe systems to construct the underlying dissemination overlay. In this paper, we focus on effective practical solution for the Min Max-TCO problem: Create a topic-connected pub/sub overlay in which all nodes interested in the same topic are organized in a directly connected dissemination sub-overlay while keeping the maximum node degree to the minimum. Previously known solutions provided an extensive analysis of the problem and an algorithm that achieves a logarithmic approximation for Min Max-TCO. Yet, they did not focus on efficiency of the solution or feasibility of decentralized operation that would not require full knowledge of the system. Compared to these solutions, our proposed algorithm produces an overlay with marginally higher degrees. At the same time, it has drastically reduced runtime cost, which is corroborated by both theoretical analysis and empirical evaluation. The latter shows a speedup by a factor of more than 25 on average for typical pub/sub workloads.
A2e mediated phototoxic effects of endoilluminators

Aims: To compare the theoretical retinal threshold time for endoilluminators and experimental phototoxic effect using A2e laden retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells. Methods: The spectral irradiances of three types of 20 gauge and 25 gauge endoilluminators, currently commercially available from two manufacturers, were evaluated in conditions where the total beam spectral power was divided by the beam spot size at an estimated use distance of 5 mm from the retina. The retinal threshold time was calculated using the guidelines recommended by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection. In vitro, A2e laden cells were evenly exposed to light for 30 minutes with a standard endoilluminator positioned 1 cm above the cells and the cell viability was assessed by WST-1 assay. Results: The retinal threshold times were within 1 minute for all the endoilluminators tested. A significant decrease in the viability of A2e laden RPE cells was observed after they were exposed to light from two of the three 20 gauge endoilluminators. Cell viability was not affected by the exposure to 25 gauge endoilluminators under the same conditions. There was no correlation between the theoretical threshold times and experimental data. Conclusions: Light exposure during vitrectomy can induce photochemical damage to the retina. Although the A2e laden RPE model may not correctly mimic a clinical situation, this model may be useful to estimate the possible photochemical damage to RPE cells that could not be deduced by a theoretical retinal hazard model.
Can working memory strategies enhance english vocabulary learning

This study sought to determine how working memory training could contribute to retaining vocabulary studied in English lessons through the implementation of a set of strategies. Two intact groups of beginners: one experimental, with 28 students, and one control group, with 22 students, belonging to undergraduate English as a foreign language courses at a Colombian university were involved in the study. After being exposed to a series of memory strategies for a period of 10 weeks, it was evident that most learners in the experimental group benefited from the intervention and showed gradual progress in the retention and retrieval of the words studied in the lessons; thus, improving their overall competence in the foreign language.

Dust‐enshrouded star formation in XMM‐LSS galaxy clusters

In recent years, infrared studies of individual galaxy clusters at intermediate redshifts led to the identification of several luminous infrared galaxies (LIR > 1011 L⊙). These findings were interpreted as an evidence ofvigorous, dust-enshrouded star formation activity, hinting at the presence of an infrared Butcher-Oemler effect. In order to explore this effect, we have undertaken a statistical investigation based on a cluster sample drawn from the XMM-Newton Large Scale Structure survey (XMM-LSS) and exploiting the contiguous coverage of the XMM-LSS field by the Spitzer SWIRE legacy survey. We adopted a stacking technique to investigate the distribution of 24-μ m sources out to the cluster periphery and compare it with the distribution of sources in a sample of control fields. Among putative cluster members, selected by means of photometric redshifts, we identified surprisingly high numbers of bright 24-μ m sources toward intermediate redshift clusters (z > 0.3). Our analysis indicates the presence of an excess of bright mid-IR sources at redshift z > 0.3 at clustercentric radii ∼200–500 kpc (© 2009 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
Intergenerational Resilience in Response tothe Stress and Trauma of Enslavement andChronic Exposure to Institutionalized Racism

There is evidence of a link between intergenerational epigenetic trauma, environmental adversity, and resilience. Resiliency is an adaptive response associated with lower psychopathology and a suite of specific physiological changes including alterations in cortisol levels regulating the inflammatory immune response and resistance to telomere shortening in response to stress. The feedback loops linking environment and human genomes are modified by resilient behaviors. In Legacy African Americans, resilience has emerged as a continuum of responses within the context of family, community, and religious beliefs as a consequence of Intergenerational exposures to 250 years of chattel slavery followed by 150 years of systemic discrimination. This resilience has ameliorated but not eliminated the impact of this trauma over approximately 16 generations of exposure. We suggest that resilience can exhibit a range of sustainability with protracted resilience involving deep behavioral modifications and concomitant physiochemical changes whereas superficial resilience may also show surface behavioral adjustments but is skin-deep and lacks the consistent physiochemical alterations of successful long term adaptation.
ON MULTIPLICITIES IN POLYNOMIAL SYSTEM SOLVING

This paper deals with the description of the solutions of zero dimensional systems of polynomial equations. Based on different models for describing solutions, we consider suitable representations of a multiple root, or more precisely suitable descriptions of the primary component of the system at a root. We analyse the complexity of finding the representations and of algorithms which perform transformations between the different representations.
The Impact of Insider Trading on the Secondary Market in the Order-Driven System

Combining Leland (1992), Madhavan (1992) and Repullo (1999) and under the framework of Rational Expectation Equilibrium (REE), the paper analyzes the impact of insider trading on the secondary market with order-driven system. We show that when insider trading is allowed, the average price will not change and there is a positive correlation between the future price and the current price. The volatility and liquidity change on uncertain directions with insider trading. With or without insider trading, the price will be efficient in some special cases. The insider is benefited by insider trading, while, the outsider and liquidity trader may be benefited or hurt by insider trading.
The Effect of Varying Teacher Presentation Rates on Responding During Discrete Trial Training for Two Children With Autism

Recent research has emphasized the importance of manipulating antecedent variables to reduce interfering behaviors when teaching persons with autism. Few studies have focused on the effects of the rate of teacher-presented instructional demands as an independent variable. In this study, an alternating treatment design was used to evaluate the effects of varied rates of teacher-presented demands (1 s, 5 s, 10 s) on the occurrence of problem behavior, opportunities to respond, responses emitted, accuracy of responding, and magnitude and rate of reinforcement for two children with autism. Results indicated that fast presentation rate (1 s) resulted in lower rates of problem behavior, higher frequencies of instructional demands, higher frequencies of participant responding, and greater magnitudes and rates of reinforcement. Differential effects on accuracy of responding across conditions were not observed. Implications for manipulating the rate of teacher-presented instructional demands as an antecedent variable to reduce problem behavior are discussed.
The gut microbiota of insecticide-resistant insects houses insecticide-degrading bacteria: A potential source for biotechnological exploitation

The exploration of new niches for microorganisms capable of degrading recalcitrant molecules is still required. We hypothesized the gut microbiota associated with insect-resistant lines carry pesticide degrading bacteria, and predicted they carry bacteria selected to degrade pesticides they were resistant to. We isolated and accessed the pesticide-degrading capacity of gut bacteria from the gut of fifth instars of Spodoptera frugiperda strains resistant to lambda-cyhalothrin, deltamethrin, chlorpyrifos ethyl, spinosad and lufenuron, using insecticide-selective media. Sixteen isolates belonging to 10 phylotypes were obtained, from which four were also associated with the susceptible strain. However, growth of gut bacteria associated with larvae from the susceptible strain was not obtained in any of the insecticide-based selective media tested. Growth of isolates was affected by the concentration of insecticides in the media, and all grew well up to 40 μg/ml. The insecticide-degrading capacity of selected isolates was assessed by GC or LC-MS/MS analyses. In conclusion, resistant strains of S. frugiperda are an excellent reservoir of insecticide-degrading bacteria with bioremediation potential. Moreover, gut-associated bacteria are subjected to the selection pressure imposed by insecticides on their hosts and may influence the metabolization of pesticides in insects.
Photon dominated regions in the spiral arms of M 83 and M 51

We present [C ] 3 P1– 3 P0 spectra at four spiral arm positions and the nuclei of the nearby galaxies M 83 and M 51 obtained at the JCMT. The spiral arm positions lie at galacto-centric distances of between 2 kpc and 6 kpc. This data is complemented with maps of CO 1–0, 2–1, and 3–2, and ISO/LWS far-infrared data of [C ] (158 µm), [O  ]( 63µm), and [N ] (122 µm) allowing for the investigation of a complete set of all major gas cooling lines. From the intensity of the [N ] line, we estimate that between 15% and 30% of the observed [C ] emission originates from the dense ionized phase of the ISM. The analysis indicates that emission from the diffuse ionized medium is negligible. In combination with the FIR dust continuum, we find gas heating efficiencies below ∼0.21% in the nuclei, and between 0.25 and 0.36% at the outer positions. Comparison with models of photon-dominated regions (PDRs) with the standard ratios [O ](63)/[C ]PDR and ([O ](63)+[C ]PDR )v s. TIR, the total infrared intensity, yields two solutions. The physically most plausible solution exhibits slightly lower densities and higher FUV fields than found when using a full set of line ratios, [C ]PDR/[C ](1–0), [C ](1–0)/CO(3–2), CO(3–2)/CO(1–0), [C ]/CO(3–2), and, [O ](63)/[C ]PDR. The best fits to the latter ratios yield densities of 10 4 cm −3 and FUV fields of ∼G0 = 20–30 times the average interstellar field without much variation. At the outer positions, the observed total infrared intensities are in agreement with the derived best fitting FUV intensities. The ratio of the two intensities lies at 4–5 at the nuclei, indicating the presence of other mechanisms heating the dust. The [C ] area filling factors lie below 2% at all positions, consistent with low volume filling factors of the emitting gas. The fit of the model to the line ratios improves significantly if we assume that [C ] stems from a larger region than CO 2–1. Improved modelling would need to address the filling factors of the various submm and FIR tracers, taking into consideration the presence of density gradients of the emitting gas by including cloud mass and size distributions within the beam.
Distributed Architectures for Environmental Visualisation Systems

This paper presents an architecture for a distributed environment, targeted at supporting the development of systems for retrieval, manipulation and visualisation of large environmental data sets. The proposal has been used as a basis for the development of METVIEW, a system for meteorological and climatological data, used operationally at the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts and Brazil’s Centro de Previsão do Tempo e Estudos Climáticos (CPTEC).
The Effects of Motivation on Employees' Performance: A case Study of Tanzania Postal Bank, Shinyanga Region

Organizations world all over are competing to survive. They do so by motivating employees. But the situation has not been the same everywhere. It is in this view that this study was conducted to assess the effect of motivation in employees’ work performance at TPB in Shinyanga region. A case-study approach was adopted for the study used. The research is supported by Abraham Maslow Hierachy of Needs Theory. The study population was 100 employees from the three branches of TPB as per payroll in Shinuanga Region. The sample size was 45 purposively chosen from the population. The research used questionnaires, interview and observation as the primary source of data while secondary data were from various reports and publications of TPB. The data obtained were both qualitatively and quantitatively analysed using SPSS version 19 and the research findings presented in percentages and tabulation. The study found that, motivation improves employees’ performance, furthermore valuable reward is a preferred motivation strategy, and moreover there is a direct link between motivation and employees’ work performance. It has also been found that motivation packages at TPB Shinyanga Region are not adequate. This was evident in the non-availability of residential accommodation and transport for staff though senior members enjoy professional allowance. The study therefore recommends Mausner and Snyderman’s (1959) approach that not all individuals are the same, so each one should be motivated using different strategies, e.g. one employee may be motivated by valuable reward while others may be motivated by non-valuable reward or a better work environment.
WebClass: adding rigor to manual labeling of traffic anomalies

Despite the flurry of anomaly-detection papers in recent years, effective ways to validate and compare proposed solutions have remained elusive. We argue that evaluating anomaly detectors on manually labeled traces is both important and unavoidable. In particular, it is important to evaluate detectors on traces from operational networks because it is in this setting that the detectors must ultimately succeed. In addition, manual labeling of such traces is unavoidable because new anomalies will be identified and characterized from manual inspection long before there are realistic models for them. It is well known, however, that manual labeling is slow and error-prone. In order to mitigate these challenges, we present WebClass, a web-based infrastructure that adds rigor to the manual labeling process. WebClass allows researchers to share, inspect, and label traffic time-series through a common graphical user interface. We are releasing WebClass to the research community in the hope that it will foster greater collaboration in creating labeled traces and that the traces will be of higher quality because the entire community has access to all the information that led to a given label

Veracity: A Fully Decentralized Secure Network Coordinate Service

Decentralized network coordinate systems have been proposed as a means of efficiently estimating network distances among end-hosts over the Internet without having to contact them directly. These systems support a wide range of network services, including proximity-based routing, neighbor selection in overlays, and replica placement in content-distribution networks. Unfortunately, these systems are vulnerable to even a small number of malicious nodes lying about their coordinates or measurements. In this technical report, we describe Veracity, a fully-decentralized service for securing network coordinate systems. In Veracity, all advertised coordinates and subsequent coordinate updates must be independently verified by a small set of nodes via a voting scheme. Unlike existing approaches, Veracity does not require any a priori secrets or trusted parties, and does not depend on outlier analysis of coordinates based on a chosen set of neighbors. We have implemented Veracity by modifying an opensource network coordinate system, and have demonstrated within a simulated network environment and deployment on PlanetLab that Veracity mitigates attacks for moderate sizes of malicious nodes (up to 30% of the network), even when coalitions of attackers coordinate their attacks. We further show that Veracity is resistant to high levels of churn and incurs only a modest communication overhead.
