Este artigo descreve uma proposta de um livro didático de computação para o sexto ano do Ensino Fundamental II, que busca integrar conceitos fundamentais da ciência da computação, domı́nio de tecnologias e habilidades de pensamento computacional. Parte dos materiais desenvolvidos foram aplicados preliminarmente com estudantes do sexto ano de uma escola pública estadual. Os resultados sugerem que o livro mostrou-se adequado ao público-alvo, garantindo a imersão dos estudantes no mundo da tecnologia da informação.
Rational Inattention When Decisions Take Time

Decisions take time, and the time taken to reach a decision is likely to be informative about the cost of more precise judgments. We formalize this insight in the context of a dynamic rational inattention (RI) model. Under standard conditions on the flow cost of information in our discrete-time model, we obtain a tractable model in the continuous-time limit. We next provide conditions under which the resulting belief dynamics resemble either diffusion processes or processes with large jumps. We then demonstrate that the state-contingent choice probabilities predicted by our model are identical to those predicted by a static RI model, providing a micro-foundation for such models. In the diffusion case, our model provides a normative foundation for a variant of the DDM models studied in mathematical psychology.
Adherence of Diabetic Patients to Education Information Provided at Primary Health Care Level in Khartoum State, Sudan

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus needs medical care and education. Adherence of the diabetic patients to education information provided at primary care level have been scantly documeneted. Objective: To measure the adherence of diabetic patients to education information provided at health centers. Methods: A cross sectional study was carried out in 25 governmental health centers (Gov.HCs) and 15 non-governmental health centers (Non-Gov.HCs). Study population was 419 adult diabetic males /females known beneficiaries of the services in the study centers. Patients were interviewed by structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistic presented the patients profile, as well as the education information received by the patients and the levels of patients’ adherence. Fisher exact test at 95% confidence level used to test differences in education information services. Adherence of patients to education information was measured by three points Likert scale. Chi square test used to test the difference in adherence.

A leadership discovery : enhancing Finnish youth football coaches' effectiveness through the Transformer Research Project

Lewis, G. 2019. A Leadership Discovery — Enhancing Finnish Youth Football Coaches’ Effectiveness through the Transformer Research Project. University of Jyväskylä. Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences. Social Sciences of Sport. Master’s Thesis, 97 pages, 3 appendices. ___________________________________________________________________________ It is well established that coaches benefit from coaching development programs (Côté & Turnnidge, 2017). Research reflects the strength that Transformational Leadership (TFL) theory holds great promise when embedded in the youth sport setting. Collaboration between researchers, communal sport organizers, and national sport policy makers represents an intriguing, yet marginal aim throughout the literature to effect coaches’ interpersonal and intrapersonal knowledge domains (Lefebvre et al., 2016). Thus, the Transformer Research Project’s purpose was to fill the gap — through planning, implementing, describing, and evaluating a pilot leadership program within the Finnish youth football context — that included a series of interviews, observations, feedback sessions, journaling, and one workshop. Action research was chosen due to its semi-controlled and socially suitable construct aligning well with the coaching experience. Used to promote knowledge growth in a cyclical fashion, coaches implemented various action goals reflecting interpersonal and intrapersonal knowledge, skills, and behaviors. Data collection process included ten interviews, five feedback sessions, fifteen observations, and rigorous journaling. Thematic content analysis revealed emerging themes that were valuable to display how coaches manifested their transformational behaviors into their coaching ‘practices’, and was effective to track their frequencies of transformational behaviors. In addition, as action research serves a greater purpose to test the workability of a given project (e.g. Rovio et al., 2012), this brought forth new knowledge pertaining to coaching developmental programs primarily rooted from a researcher’s orientation. Goal setting routines were found to be important for engaging coaches with the research material. Stakeholder (communal and institutional) involvement was seen to reduce perceived barriers to implement transformational behaviors. The findings all contributed to building criteria for more explorative studies which seek to understand how coaches create transformational coaching environments. Notable opportunities to improve the program reflect a greater need for stakeholder involvement, and empirically driven measures which may include athletes as part of the study.
Grief in the context of early hearing detection and intervention programs: parents' perception of grief processing and support

The purpose of this qualitative research study was to gain an understanding of parental grief experiences within the context of an early hearing detection and intervention program and to examine parents‘ perception of the professional support they received. Through focus group interviews, eight mothers and seven fathers, whose infants were diagnosed with a hearing loss at birth through a universal newborn hearing screening and who were confronted immediately with a health care system necessitating decisions about early intervention, were invited to share their emotional journey and their experiences of being supported. Parents shared emotions associated with grief and processing grief, their emotional and informational needs, and what influenced their decision making process. Differences between spouses were also examined. The findings are presented through three central themes. The first theme revealed that grief was a part of parents‘ emotional journey. Specifically parents shared feelings of grief related to the loss of what they had anticipated, and mothers shared feelings of loss associated with their anticipated experience of motherhood. The grief experience was different for mothers and fathers. The second theme revealed that as parents processed their grief, they experienced a paradox of emotionally moving forward and staying in place. Parents shared feelings of happiness and joy when they spoke about their children yet they also shared experiences that reflected a continuance of grieving. The final theme indicated the ways in which parents discussed being emotionally supported and the differences in support needs between husbands and wives. The discussion of these themes addressed the paradoxes that existed and the notion that parents were uncomfortable living with these paradoxes. Implications for professionals who support parents throughout their EHDI program experience were also described, including the provision of information and how that information impacts parents‘ need for emotional support. The implication that professionals must provide parents the space to feel their emotions related to grief was also explored.
Organization strategies in the Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure in children with ADHD

The aim of this study was to analyze ADHD diagnosed children´s process of copy, organization strategies and recall phase of Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure. This study corresponds to an ex post facto retrospective design with two groups, one quasi control. Seventy children between 8 and 14 years old were evaluated; 35 with ADHD and 35 without these diagnoses, paired by sex, age and instruction level. To reach the proposed objective, the process of copying, organizational strategies and memory of the Rey- Osterrieth Complex Figure were evaluated. The Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure is a test which consists of copying phase and posterior playing back memory phase of a complex geometric pattern. Results showed a lower yield for the group with ADHD both in copy and memory process, with greater use of C and D types of copy reproduction, being the use of type D expected for younger children. These results allow further analysis of the performance of children with ADHD regarding organizational strategies providing expertise in the conceptualization, evaluation and treatment of the disorder.

The Impact of Competitors’ Store Flyer Advertisements on EDLP/High-Low Chain Performance in a Highly Competitive Retail Market: GPS Information and POS Data Approach in Japan

The Japanese retail market has a high degree of competition among many small stores that use promotional (high-low) pricing strategies. Because store advertisement flyers are effective tools for such retailers, they play a very important role in Japan. However, despite the large impact made by flyers of competitive retail chains in various trade areas, the effects of advertising flyers has not been investigated in Japan, nor has this advertising strategy been investigated in Western countries. In this study, we obtained store traffic information using global positioning system (GPS) data from shoppers’ smartphones, with flyer information from 80 retail chain stores located in different trading areas. We found that while own-store flyers had a positive effect on that store’s performance, competitors’ flyers had negative effects on performance; indeed, these negative effects were of a magnitude that should not be ignored. Store-specific factors and trading area demographics also affect the effectiveness of store flyers. Furthermore, we found that high-low shoppers are more sensitive to competitors’ flyers than are customers who purchase at everyday low prices (EDLP). The results can help EDLP chains stop the practice of designating a loss leader brand.
University Continuing Education in Canada

Universities are core institutions in the Canadian public sphere. As bases for developing independent and critical perspectives on current social concerns, their research and scholarship contribute to awareness and understanding of a broad range of economic, technical, and cultural issues. Their main educational function is to provide a variety of degrees and certificates for academically qualified young Canadians; of late, they have also extended their student bodies to include international students and those from previously under-represented groups. In addition, they also offer a range of courses and programs to members of the public not formally registered as students. Indeed, such provision – usually called ‘university continuing education’ (UCE) – has long been recognised as a field of professional endeavour and an incubator of educational innovation. Canadian UCE provides a dynamic and complex environment in which adults – many from under-privileged groups – can learn. So, it is not surprising that in Canada, a comparatively young country largely settled by immigrants, universities have played a significant part in the country’s growth and development. Over the past 150 years, the number and range of Canadian UCE programs has steadily increased so that adult learners can become more knowledgeable and active citizens and better prepared to face the demands of socio-economic and technological change.
NON MEDICAL FACTORS THAT AFFECT USAGE OF LONG ACTING REVERSIBLE CONTRACEPTIVE (LARC) IN WOMEN AFTER CHILDBIRTH IN INDONESIA

The Long Acting Reversible Contraceptive ( LARC) is a method of contraception that is effective and efficient to prevent pregnancy or limit births, but its use in Indonesia is still low especially in women after childbirth. Â This may increase the risk of unwanted pregnancy and short birth interval. Â The purpose of this research is to find out what factors affect the use of LARC in women after childbirth in Indonesia. This research is an analysis of secondary data Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey 2012, with stamp 3,918 Womenâ€™s Reproductive Age, which is between 15-49 yearsÂ old andÂ they had given birth one year before the survey. Â The data were analyzed by using simple logistic regression analysis. Â This research shows that the proportion of women who used LARC after childbirth in Indonesia in 2012 was 7.31% and it was influenced by the level of socio-economic, domiciles, the husbandâ€™s level of education, the number of children born alive, the number of children still living, the desired number of children, the role of husband, and the role of religious figures. Â Keywords: LARC, women after childbirth, non medical factors
Game-based structural debriefing

Purpose The authors developed a pedagogical framework called the game-based structural debriefing (GBSD) to leverage the affordances of video games for teaching systems thinking. By integrating system dynamics visualization tools within a set of debriefing activities, GBSD helps teachers make systems thinking an explicit goal of the gameplay and learning when they use available educational games in the classroom. Design/methodology/approach This study uses a design-based research methodology with the goals of validating GBSD and investigating the utility of GBSD across different contexts as a design source to develop game-based curriculum. Over the course of 12 months, the authors conducted one focus group interview and three design workshops with participating teachers and master teachers. Between the workshops, the team rapidly iterated the framework, as well as curricular materials, in collaboration with the teachers. Findings The authors developed a curriculum unit that integrates systems dynamics visualization tools and a video game for middle school life science ecosystem curriculum. The unit was implemented by the three teachers who participated in the co-design. The implementations confirmed the flexibility of the unit because teachers created additional instructional materials that supplemented the GBSD protocol and addressed the unique limitations and needs of their classrooms. Originality/value GBSD builds on system dynamics, which is a distinct academic discipline and methodology, and it uses its visualization tools, which are not widely used in the systems thinking educational literature. GBSD is also unique, in that it applies these tools within the debriefing activities developed for an off-the-shelf educational game. This paper illustrates how a design framework can be used to support teachers’ thoughtful integration of games in curriculum development.
Comparison of Osteoporosis Knowledge, Beliefs, Attitudes, and Behavior Among College Students of Various Racial/Ethnic Groups

Osteoporosis is known as a pediatric disease with geriatric consequences. The need for bone health, awareness of controllable risk factors and prevention of osteoporosis begins during one’s youth (Campbell, 2012; Cannada, 2016; Evenson & Sanders, 2016; Edmonds, Turner, & Usdan, 2012; Ford et al., 2011; Gammage et al., 2009; Gammage et al., 2012). Currently, most health information and health campaigns focus on older adults. To promote measurable improvements in reducing the number of cases of osteoporosis, the focus for change needs to start as early as teenage and young adult age. In addition to the general population trends, rates specifically associated with the nonwhite U.S. population are expected to increase. Burge (2007) reported that the 2005 “distribution of fractures by race/ethnicity among women reveals that whites have 89% of the total, followed by black (4%), Hispanic (4%), and other women (3%)” (p. 468). Burge further reported that projections between 2006 and 2025 reveal that “fractures and costs among the nonwhite population will increase from 14% and 12% in 2005, respectively, to 21% and 19% in 2025” (p. 468). This study identified the need to increase knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and behaviors of college students of various racial/ethnic groups as related to osteoporosis.
