Authors: Lima Filho Raimundo Nonato , Souza Ariel Antônio Conceição de , D`Souza Márcia Figueredo
Published: February 2022

This article aims to identify the manifestation of narcissistic personality traits in 187 students of Accounting from Northeast Brazil with the use of the Narcissistic Personality Inventory. Data were analyzed with the use of the Item Response Theory, the correlation analysis and the Student t test. Students showed prominent characteristics of authority and exhibitionism, with men and students of private institutions being more narcissistic. The results expand the restricted list of studies on narcissism in the national scene, seeking to contribute to discussions on the diagnosis of narcissistic personalities by educators, and to contribute to the improvement of educational processes.
REAÇÃO DO MERCADO À OPINIÃO MODIFICADA DA AUDITORIA: VALOR DE MERCADO E PERCEPÇÃO DE RISCO
Authors: Carvalho Denis Leite , Carvalho Leonardo Oliveira , Dantas José Alves , Medeiros Otávio Ribeiro
Published: February 2022

Considerada a relevância da informação contábil aliada ao processo de auditoria, este estudo tem por objetivo verificar se o relatório de auditoria com opinião modificada influencia o retorno do preço das ações e a percepção de risco, e, adicionalmente, verificar se a ênfase provoca reação similar. Foram realizados testes de modelos de regressão multivariada que consideraram relatórios e cotações de 231 empresas/ação entre 2010 e 2017. Os resultados não apontaram significância estatística entre a opinião modificada e a variação do valor de mercado, mas revelaram que a opinião modificada afeta a percepção de risco dos investidores, comportamento similar na existência do parágrafo de ênfase onde os testes estatísticos apresentaram resultados inconclusivos em relação ao preço e significância para o aumento da volatilidade.

Authors: Silva César Augusto Tibúrcio , Souza Paulo Vitor Souza de , Silva Polyana Batista da
Published: February 2022

O mercado de trabalho contábil no Brasil vem passando por diversas alterações, por vários motivos: diferenças de gênero, educação especializada, localização geográfica das empresas contábeis e outros. Entender as nuances do mercado de trabalho de uma profissão nos faz pensar sobre sua evolução histórica em determinado período, e projetar estratégias de ação como profissionais. Esta pesquisa verificou as mudanças estruturais ocorridas no mercado de trabalho formal do setor contábil brasileiro entre os anos de 2003 a 2018. Utilizamos a base de dados disponibilizada pelo Ministério do Trabalho e Emprego, especificamente as declarações submetidas na Relação Anual de Informações Sociais (RAIS), observando a concentração geográfica, escolaridade, gênero, remuneração, tipo de função e idade do trabalhador. Os resultados indicam que profissionais com nível superior estão sendo absorvidos, mais fortemente, pelo mercado; que houve aumento de contratação de profissionais do gênero feminino; que o nível de escolaridade influencia no valor do salário; que o salário de trabalhadores do gênero masculino é superior ao percebido pelas trabalhadoras do gênero feminino; que houve redução de cargos técnicos; e que a idade média dos trabalhadores diminuiu.
BOOK-TAX DIFFERENCES E RATING
Authors: Barbosa Josilene Da Silva , Costa Patrícia De Souza
Published: February 2022

O estudo tem como objetivo verificar a relação dos diferentes tipos e níveis de Book-Tax Differences (BTD) com as notas de rating. Crabtree e Maher (2009) documentaram relação negativa entre o rating e as BTD total e temporária e conjecturam que as empresas irão gerenciar o resultado de forma a manter uma distância equilibrada entre o lucro contábil e o tributável, para não afetar negativamente as notas de rating. Esses autores analisaram apenas dois tipos de BTD, mas o rating pode ter relação com todos os tipos, principalmente, aqueles relacionados com o gerenciamento de resultados. Assim, o estudo busca ultrapassar as fronteiras do conhecimento acerca da relação entre os diferentes tipos de BTD e o rating. Justifica-se ao demonstrar quais tipos e níveis de BTD podem ser interpretados de forma positiva pelas agências de rating, favorecendo as classificações de crédito, e quais tipos podem ser interpretados como um sinal de alerta, gerando ratings menores. A amostra é composta por 3.737 observações de companhias abertas de 54 países do período de 2001 a 2016. Os dados foram analisados por meio de regressão logística. Os testes econométricos envolveram os diferentes tipos de BTD (total, positiva, negativa, anormal, normal, permanente e temporária) segregados por quintis. Os resultados sugerem que a BTD tem conteúdo informacional útil às agências de rating em suas avaliações de risco de crédito. Demonstram ainda que são os níveis elevados de BTD que afetam negativamente o rating, enquanto a menor distância entre as duas medidas de lucro parece não indicar uma preocupação para as agências de rating, não afetando suas avaliações. Acredita-se que os resultados têm contribuição prática, ao sugerir que a manipulação dos números contábeis pode gerar consequências negativas para as empresas, destacando-se que os gestores precisam ficar atentos quanto aos reflexos das escolhas contábeis, especificamente, no que tange aos valores contábeis que afetam a BTD.
O COMPORTAMENTO DA DESPESA TOTAL COM PESSOAL NOS ESTADOS BRASILEIROS: UMA ANÁLISE A PARTIR DAS DETERMINAÇÕES DA LEI DE RESPONSABILIDADE FISCAL COM MODELO MULTINÍVEL
Authors: Soares Cristiano Sausen , Martins Vinícius Abilio , Da Rosa Fabrícia Silva , Barbetta Pedro Alberto
Published: February 2022

No Brasil, a Lei de Responsabilidade Fiscal (LRF) exige dos entes públicos maior controle de gastos e transparência na gestão fiscal, reforçando a necessidade de limites de gastos com pessoal. Nesse contexto, o objetivo deste trabalho é analisar o comportamento da despesa com pessoal nas Unidades da Federação (UF) no período de 2006 a 2015, testando variáveis explicativas para tal comportamento. Para tanto, considerou-se como variável resposta o índice da despesa total com pessoal (IDTP) do poder executivo das UFs, enquanto variáveis com base na LRF e estudos anteriores foram testadas como explicativas, sendo elas: índice de endividamento; variação da Receita Corrente Líquida (RCL); coeficiente de execução de receita; coeficiente de dependência financeira; ano eleitoral; IDTP do ano anterior; PIB; região e população. Para análise dos dados foi utilizado o software R com o uso de modelos multiníveis. Os resultados apresentam indícios da influência da variabilidade do IDTP ao longo do tempo, do índice de endividamento, da variação da RCL e do ano eleitoral no comportamento da despesa com pessoal nas UF. As evidências sugerem que as ações voltadas ao cumprimento da LRF no tocante a redução do IDTP ao longo do tempo não atingiram os efeitos esperados.
INVESTIMENTO AMBIENTAL E DESEMPENHO ECONÔMICO: UMA ANÁLISE DA RELAÇÃO DE CAUSA E EFEITO
Authors: Zanatta Mateus Dalbosco , Alves Tiago Wickstrom , Korzenowski André Luis
Published: February 2022

A relação entre investimentos ambientais e retorno tem sido amplamente analisada pelos pesquisadores que abordam os investimentos como determinantes dos retornos, ou vice e versa, ou ainda é estimada nas duas direções em outros estudos. Contudo, esses procedimentos não definem quem é causa e quem é efeito. Assim, o objetivo desta pesquisa é determinar a relação de causa e efeito, no sentido de Granger, entre investimento ambiental e desempenho financeiro. Para isso, utilizou-se o teste de causalidade de Granger, aplicado em modelo de Painel com efeitos fixos para as empresas, com dados de 97 companhias que compõem a Brasil Bolsa Balcão (B3) e publicaram seus investimentos ambientais conforme o balanço social IBASE ou o Relatório de Sustentabilidade Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), para o período de 1996 a 2017. As variáveis que representaram o investimento ambiental foram o Indicador Ambiental do Balanço Social IBASE e o item EN30 e EN31 do GRI. Para o desempenho econômico foram utilizados o Retorno sobre o Patrimônio (ROE) e o Retorno sobre os Ativos (ROA). Os resultados obtidos permitiram definir a causalidade no sentido de Granger, com um nível de significância de 10%, de que o desempenho econômico determina os investimentos ambientais quando utilizado o ROA como medida de retorno, estabelecendo-se assim uma base para pesquisas futuras. Para o ROE, a relação de causa e efeito no sentido de Granger não foi definida, indicando a possibilidade de estudos futuros testarem a hipótese de que empresas com elevado ativo tenham, possivelmente, maiores impactos ambientais, o que poderia explicar o desempenho como determinante dos ativos ambientais.
A CONSTRUÇÃO DA CONFIANÇA A PARTIR DE UMA MUDANÇA NA GESTÃO EM UMA INSTITUIÇÃO FEDERAL DE ENSINO SUPERIOR
Authors: Espejo Márcia Maria Dos Santos Bortolocci , Fernandes Natália
Published: February 2022

A confiança é um constructo onipresente e importante para os relacionamentos sociais, sendo de grande relevância para compreender o funcionamento das relações. O presente estudo tem como objetivo avaliar a construção da confiança em uma nova gestão de Instituição Federal de Ensino Superior, considerando o Sistema de Gestão de Desempenho parametrizado pelos Princípios Globais de Contabilidade Gerencial (PGCG) após uma mudança mandatária. Para tanto, um estudo de caso em profundidade foi realizado, mediante 26 entrevistas semiestruturadas, documentação e observação direta com uma equipe de gestão em três níveis (Reitoria, Pró-Reitorias e Coordenadorias), que foram analisadas por meio de análise de template. Os principais achados reforçam o mainstream da literatura que indica a confiança como elemento essencial às organizações. Quanto ao cenário de construção de confiança, a microgestão afetou negativamente a construção da confiança de competência. A sobrecarga influencia diretamente a confiança de comunicação, resultando em um declínio desse tipo de confiança. Como efeito dominó, a baixa comunicabilidade faz diminuir a confiança contratual. Destacam-se positivamente o estilo de gestão por resultados adotado pela reitoria e a preocupação com o accountability.
Johann Michael Haydn’s Missa Sancti Hieronymi: An Unusual Eighteenth-Century Tribute to Saint Jerome
Authors: Schatkin Hettrick Jane
Published: February 2022

Johann Michael Haydn (1737–1806), court musician to the prince-archbishop of Salzburg, composed the Missa Sancti Hieronymi in 1777, apparently intended to mark the name-day of his employer: 30 September, the feast-day of St. Jerome. Because of its wind-band scoring, this Mass is unique, not only among Haydn’s Masses, but also in the Mass repertoire of Salzburg, and apparently in that of all late eighteenth-century Austria. The present article discusses the environment in which Haydn functioned and its effect on the practice of church music in Salzburg and generally in Catholic Austria. Haydn’s employer, Archbishop Colloredo, was a proponent of Enlightenment thinking. He expressed in his Hirtenbrief of 1782 ideas opposed to the kind of sacred music then prevalent in Austria, in particular, the orchestral Mass. Reflective of the new Gottesdienstordnung promulgated by Emperor Joseph II, the proposed changes include the introduction of congregational hymns in the vernacular and severe reduction in numbers of liturgies and the amount of music allowed in them. Colloredo finds support for his ideas in the writings of St. Jerome and other church fathers. Given Haydn’s strong Catholic faith and dedication as a composer of sacred music, the article suggests that although he wrote the Missa as a dutiful servant of his employer, he meant it above all as a tribute to St. Jerome.
The Impacts of COVID-19 on Urban Tourism Destinations: The South African Experience
Authors: Rogerson Christian , Rogerson Jayne
Published: February 2022

The impacts of COVID-19 for cities are generating an extensive international scholarship. This study contributes to the literature on the ramifications of urban tourism. The research is an assessment of what might be termed the early stage or ‘first round’ of the impacts of COVID-19. Using the IHS Global Insight local tourism base for South Africa the study analyses COVID-19 impacts during 2020 for the country’s eight metropolitan areas. It reveals the pandemic’s devastating impacts for tourism flows and correspondingly the diminished role of tourism in urban economies. An important finding is that South Africa’s metropolitan areas experienced a greater proportionate decline in tourism than the recorded national rate of decline. The consequence is a reduction during 2020 in the relative share of metropolitan areas in the South African tourism economy. This implies a reversal of established trends towards polarization and increasing city dominance that have been observed over the previous 20 years. The major burden of the collapse of urban tourism has fallen upon the five largest metropolitan areas which have been severely impacted by government regulations to halt the pandemic and resultant changes in consumer preferences for travel.
Contemporary Audience Rituals at Classical Concerts.
Authors:   , Bühler Michael
Published: February 2022

Contemporary cultural consumers are now much more likely to listen to recorded classical music in a private setting than attend a concert. One effect of this has been the aging of the audience at classical concerts. Many experts assume that most of this concert audience will simply die out in the next 10-15 years. This might suggest the demise of the classical concert – but there is still considerable interest in this musical style among the younger population. Thus, the problem seems not to be the music, but rather the form in which it is conveyed. Since the second half of the 19th century little or nothing has changed in the dramaturgical process, the design of the concert hall and (particularly for this thesis) the rigorous ritualization of the concert itself. The question for concert promoters is how to change the concert format to attract a younger audience. This study focuses primarily on changes in ritualization, applying Randal Collins' (2005) Ritual Framework, which considers: community feeling, group assembly, barriers to outsiders, bodily co-presence, and mutual focus of attention or shared mood. From my position, with my many years of professional experience in the organization of classical concerts, concert’s strict ritualization appears ‘fusty and old-fashioned’ to younger concert goers and literally discourages them from attending. This proposition was examined through Action Learning (AL). An Action Learning Group (ALG), representing the desired target group of a younger classical audience, identified rituals they felt detracted from the current classical concert experience, developed interventions (changes to concert ritualization) that were subsequently implemented at real concerts and audience responses gauged (audience survey). Based on the knowledge gained, a new concert format was developed, tailored primarily to a subset of this younger concert audience (the family with young children) and again responses to it sought through audience feedback. This study demonstrates that fulfilling today’s concert visitors’ individual expectations is essential to achieving satisfaction with classical concerts. The shared experience with friends or acquaintances proved to be of overriding importance, moving individual expectations of the event’ staging to the background. The study also shows that the sense of community in the audience can be increased if the focus of attention can be reinforced – even if not necessarily only on the music. In addition, the study demonstrates that changes in ritualization, which reduce barriers to outsiders, have a positive impact on the audience in times of ubiquitous concern about equality and discrimination. Finally, the study also highlights that it is not enough to merely change the ritualization of a classical concert to significantly improve its attractiveness to a younger audience.

Devonian trilobites from the Amazonas Basin: systematic diversity, taphonomy, and biogeographic significance
Authors: Carvalho Maria da Gloria Pires de , Ponciano Luiza Corral Martins de Oliveira
Published: February 2022

Although the Devonian invertebrate biota of the Amazonas Basin is incompletely known, its unusual mixture of supposedly Malvinokaffric and Appalachian taxa is of considerable biogeographical interest. The history of research on Devonian trilobites from the Amazonas Basin is summarized. These fossils occur in the Maecuru (latest Emsian – early Eifelian) and Ererê (latest Eifelian – early Givetian) formations, representing the families Homalonotidae, Dalmanitidae, and Calmoniidae. Trilobite diversity is higher in the Maecuru (nine named plus six indeterminate taxa) than the Ererê Formation (with only two named taxa), which displays faunal impoverishment generally. None of the Devonian Amazonas Basin trilobite species is known from other Malvinokaffric sites, suggesting very high endemicity within this basin. A taxonomic revision of “Homalonotus” derbyi (Clarke, 1890) is presented and a lectotype is designated. A lectotype and paralectotype are also designated for Eldredgeia paituna (Hartt & Rathbun, 1875). Some taphonomic observations of fossils from the Maecuru Formation are made, and a brief biogeographic synopsis of the Devonian Amazonas biota is also given.
Configuração hidrogeológica do sistema aquífero Dunas/Barreiras na zona norte de Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brasil
Authors: Vasconcelos Mickaelon Belchior , De Melo José Geraldo , Demétrio José Geilson Alves
Published: February 2022

A zona norte de Natal destaca-se pela ocupação habitacional iniciada na década de 1970, modificando suas características de área agrícola para uma área urbanizada. As águas subterrâneas representam aproximadamente 44% do suprimento hídrico local, com captações do sistema aquífero Dunas/Barreiras. Em decorrência da importância das águas subterrâneas, este estudo foi desenvolvido com o objetivo de obter a configuração da estrutura hidrogeológica do aquífero Dunas/Barreiras, identificando espessuras saturadas, direções de fluxo e condicionamento geológico por meio das seguintes atividades: i) a aquisição de perfis de poços tubulares perfurados na área de estudo; ii) análise de trabalhos anteriores, com informações dos parâmetros hidrodinâmicos; iii) etapas de campo para a verificação do condicionamento geológico; iv) coleta de dados de nível estático; v) perfuração de um poço de pesquisa. A integração dos dados obtidos identificou prováveis processos tectônicos na área de estudo, bem como a configuração da estrutura geológica da área. O fluxo das águas subterrâneas mostrou-se homogêneo entre o ano de 1997 e 2008, apresentando um contorno similar das cargas potenciométricas e, consequentemente, as mesmas direções de fluxos.
Cartographic methodology for assessing aquifer recharge potential: a case study of the Paracatu river basin, Brazil
Authors: Vasconcelos Vitor Vieira , Martins Junior Paulo Pereira , Hadad Renato Moreira
Published: February 2022

This article presents a proposal for a methodology to demarcate and characterize areas that might be conducive to aquifer recharge. The guiding principle is the hydrogeological inference of areas uphill from springs. A kriging interpolation plane of the elevation of the springs is the basis for the delimitation of these areas. The characterization of recharge potential rests on lithostratigraphy, geomorphology, and soil studies, on climatological data, and on altimetric differential of springs and downstream watercourses. The maps suggest that the Western portion of the Paracatu basin would hold greater potential for recharge, followed by highland plateaus and table lands. These cartographic products may be useful to integrate the management of water resources and land use.
Variation in Amapasaurus tetradactylus (Reptilia: Squamata: Gymnophthalmidae), a rare Guiana lizard

Published: February 2022

The Guiana region is one of the better-preserved parts of Amazonia, but its fauna is still incompletely known. Amapasaurus tetradactylus was described in 1970, on the basis of two specimens from the upper Maracá river basin, Amapá, Brazil. Only between 2004-2006, during a series of expeditions in Amapá, new material of this species was obtained, and in 2008 it was collected also in northern Pará (at present it is also recorded from French Guiana). A total of 37 specimens, from six localities in Brazilian Guiana, is here examined, giving an idea of variation in scale characters and of its habitat. Present data makes it likely that the species is an endemic to the eastern part of the Guiana Shield, possibly in its central-southern portion.

Filtração de partículas através do dossel de uma floresta tropical úmida
Authors: MacInnis Gail , Greene David , Straka Jason , Kevan Peter
Published: February 2022

Understanding the dinamics of filtration of pollen and spores by plant canopies is crucial to the in the modelling of their dispersal, yet few studies have quantified filtration. Here, we examine the decline in the density of flour particles descending through a 40 m-tall tropical canopy on a windless day at Caxiuanã National Forest, Pará, Brazil. Using these data and estimates of canopy leaf density, we also tested one of the few existing models for the effect of impaction. The Bache model, which incorporates particle and vegetation structure, probability of particle transmission and the probability of impaction, explained approximately 93% of the variation in flour granules captured on passive samplers placed throughout the canopy. The canopy filtered 99.65% of the flour released, but a significant amount of small particles were captured at the forest floor. These findings suggest that the rarity of anemophily seen in the tropics may be more a result of high species richness than high canopy density.
Uso do diagrama binário Zr/Nb-Zr/Y na distinção de fontes mantélicas de enxames de diques máficos no sul do Cráton São Francisco
Authors: Chaves Alexandre De Oliveira
Published: February 2022

As concentrações de elementos incompatíveis são sensíveis aos processos de fusão parcial do manto, e as razões entre esses elementos, em não havendo intensa contaminação crustal, são particularmente úteis na distinção das fontes das rochas basálticas produzidas nesses processos de fusão parcial, já que minimizam efeitos de fracionamento dos magmas. Usando-se elementos adicionalmente imóveis, essas razões minimizam inclusive processos metamórficos eventualmente impostos a essas rochas. Quando as razões Zr/Nb e Zr/Y são lançadas em diagrama binário, diferentes fontes mantélicas de enxames de diques máficos submetidas a diferentes graus de fusão parcial surgem como linhas de correlação individualizadas que correspondem a uma assinatura de cada uma delas. Desse modo, o diagrama Zr/Nb versus Zr/Y se torna uma importante ferramenta de discriminação de enxames de diques máficos de uma dada região continental, como exemplificado aqui para a região sul do Cráton São Francisco.

Uncaria tomentosa e U. guianensis, conhecidas popularmente por ‘unha de gato’, são lianas amplamente comercializadas, cuja ação anti-inflamatória justifica-as como objeto de pesquisas farmacognósticas. Este estudo buscou caracterizar a anatomia foliar dessas duas espécies de Uncaria, a fim de estabelecer parâmetros de distinção entre as mesmas, de modo que os dados obtidos possam ser utilizados como referência em exames de controle de qualidade de amostras de fármacos, com vistas a verificar a autenticidade botânica. Amostras foram coletadas no horto de plantas medicinais da Universidade Federal Rural da Amazônia e da Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária – Amazônia Oriental, Belém, Pará, e analisadas segundo técnicas usuais em anatomia vegetal. Ambas as espécies possuem estômatos paracíticos e tricomas tectores apenas na face abaxial. O mesofilo é dorsiventral, com clorênquima paliçádico biestratificado em U. guianensis, e uniestratificado, com células subjacentes do clorênquima esponjoso tendendo a paliçádica, em U. tomentosa. A nervura central é biconvexa e o sistema vascular distingue as duas espécies. O pecíolo apresentou proeminências na face adaxial e feixe vascular colateral. Em todas as secções, foi possível notar a presença de idioblastos secretores. Portanto, essas espécies apresentam caracteres anatômicos peculiares, que podem ser utilizados para a distinção de suas respectivas drogas vegetais.

Responding to violence from abroad: The Mexican diaspora mobilising from Brussels and Paris through art-based strategies
Authors: Lara-Guerrero Larisa
Published: February 2022

Over 150,000 people were intentionally killed in Mexico since 2006, after the Mexican government decided to openly combat organized crime. Against the backdrop of the security crisis, members of Mexican society have developed national and transnational strategies to contribute to the respond to the rampant violence in their homeland. By introducing a transdisciplinary approach and peacebuilding theories, this paper argues that Mexican migrants living in Brussels and Paris have been able to orchestrate transnational art-based strategies to contribute to the violence alleviation in their country of origin. In particular, this empirical paper argues that Mexican migrants living in these two European cities have deployed artistic bottom-up strategies to reduce direct violence, transform relationships and build capacity from overseas.
Clinical Wellness Coaching: A Brief Assessment of the Development, Implementation, and 3-year Experiences of Interns in a Graduate Certification Program
Authors: Evans Marion , Cox Melissa , Forooshani Melika
Published: February 2022

Purpose: Mississippi is one of sickest states according to national assessments and ranks 49th for overall health outcomes. In addition, Mississippi is the most overweight and obese state, the least physically active state, and ranks second in adult hypertension. This paper reviews the development and three-year assessment of a novel wellness coaching program developed at one southeastern university in a partnership with a foundation whose primary interest was to see more wellness and lifestyle coaching offered in primary medical clinics in the state. Methodology: A model for training graduate students in wellness coaching was envisioned and interdisciplinary training model developed. The design and implementation of the program is described, as well as the programmatic evaluation of the first 3 cohorts of interns including the types of conditions coached and the overall intern experience. Results: Interns were placed in 9 different Mississippi counties over the first three years. In total, 1,186 patients were coached in the field over the three years by 15 interns. Of those, 74% were new patients and 26% were follow-up patients at the clinics. The top three reasons for wellness coaching were weight management (n=252, 21.3%) followed by diabetes (n=238, 20.1%), and metabolic issues (n=204, 17.2%). Interns were surprised at the level of comorbidities and low health literacy, and overall ratings from medical practitioners and staff were very favorable. Conclusion: Graduate level wellness coaching training can develop coaches to aid clinical healthcare providers in reaching patients in need of setting personal lifestyle-related goals for improving overall health outcomes. Interns must be prepared in states like Mississippi for complications such as low health literacy and low literacy situations as well as the comorbidities that a typical patient will have. Barriers to successful interaction with the wellness coach can be mitigated by having staff fully understand their role.
Lemierre Syndrome Demonstrating an Atypical Case of Streptococcus Constellatus Causing a Deep Vein Thrombosis in the Left Internal Jugular Vein
Authors: Summa Christian , Clavijo Fernandez Marcos , Simpson Jordan , Beckler Andrew , Demory Beckler Michelle
Published: February 2022

Lemierre Syndrome (LS) is a rare, potentially life-threatening infection that typically develops from invasion of bacteria through pharyngeal mucosal tissue, followed by septic thrombophlebitis, most often involving the internal jugular vein.1 The primary complication of concern is the formation of septic emboli to the lungs or other organs. Fusobacterium necrophorum is the most common causative pathogen of LS.1 Typically, patients present with high fevers, sore throat, neck pain, and pulmonary symptoms. Though LS diagnosis is often overlooked because the initial manifestations may be subtle and non-specific, prompt diagnosis and treatment with antibiotics are imperative to prevent disease progression and promote quick recovery.

Purpose: This study investigated the relationship between estimated oxygen consumption (VO2max) and handgrip strength (HGS) among healthy young Nigerian adults. Methods: This was a cross sectional study, which involved 400 volunteers (171 males; 229 females) aged between 18–40years. Participants’ HGS was assessed using a CAMRY EH-101 hand dynamometer while VO2max was estimated using a standard formula that includes measurement of resting heart rate. Demographic data was summarized using percentages, mean and standard deviation. Physical activity level of the participants was assessed using long form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Independent t-test was used to compare the mean values of the variables between male and female participants. Pearson’s correlation was used to determine the strength of relationship between estimated VO2max and HGS, while multiple regression analysis was conducted to determine the predictors of estimated VO2max using HGS as well as body mass index (BMI), physical activity (PA) level, age and sex as co‐variates. Level of significance was set at p<0.05. Results: HGS, VO2max and PA level were significantly (p= 0.001) different between male and female participants. There was a significant moderate correlation between HGS and VO2max (r= 0.40, p= 0.001). The results of the regression analysis showed that HGS is not significant predictor of estimated VO2max; whereas, sex, BMI and PA level were significant predictors of estimated VO2max. Conclusion: Although HGS is moderately correlated with estimated VO2max, HGS may not be a relevant tool for predicting estimated VO2max in healthy young adults.
Adaptive Staffing Models and their Translation to Future Disaster Response: What Can Be Learned from COVID Unit Staffing?
Authors: Day LaKeisha
Published: February 2022

Background: As much as hospital organizations like to be prepared for worst-case scenarios, situations inevitably arise that are unanticipated for which no amount of preparation would ever suffice. One such scenario was the emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus responsible for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Hospitals had to use their existing staff in order to meet the onslaught of patients presenting with COVID-19. Purpose: The aim of this paper is to review the various COVID unit hospital staffing models that were implemented during the influx of patients with COVID-19 and then to examine their sustainability and adaptability to response models for future disasters. Hospitals are equipped with rapid response teams and some with disaster response teams, but neither is designed to be on a massive scale or for an extended duration. Which teams worked well, and can any be used in future disaster response staffing models? Conclusions: An adaptive and sustainable disaster response team is more about the members who make up the team, than it is about the response. The training and knowledge of health care providers determines staffing model adaptability and these characteristics can be targeted when making decisions on hiring, training, ongoing education, and staff assignments.
Social Vulnerability and Adaptive Capacity to Climate Change Impacts of Women-headed Households in the Philippines: a Comparative Analysis
Authors:   Partido State University, Delfino Ariel , Dizon Josefina , Quimbo Maria Ana , Depositario Dinah Pura
Published: February 2022

This study analyzed the social vulnerability and adaptive capacity to climate change impacts of women-headed households in two remote coastal communities in Lagonoy, Camarines Sur. Quantitative method following descriptive-correlational research design was employed. Out of 281 WHHs, 162 were randomly selected as the respondents of this study. Descriptive statistics, principal component analysis (PCA), t-test for independent samples, and multiple linear regression analysis were used to analyze the data. Women-headed households in the two remote coastal communities have moderate to high vulnerability in terms of demographic, economic, and social factors. No significant difference was found in their level of social vulnerability; however, a substantial difference was found in the adaptive capacity of the respondents from the East and North coastal communities. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that the number of household members with disabilities, affiliation with social groups, time travel of the respondents, and household size were significant factors influencing social vulnerability in the two remote coastal communities. The study recommends formulating effective climate change policies and responsive strategies that enhance the rights and welfare of these households for equal distribution and access to resources, especially in socio-political structures in the community.

Studies on economic valuation rarely involved the youth in decision making. This study considered the youth, particularly high school students, as the respondents of the survey. The study may prove to be critical in considering the opinions and recommendations of the youth who may become environmental stewards of the future. Through stratified and systematic random sampling, 400 respondents were chosen from five public high schools in Bacolod City to determine their willingness to pay (WTP) for the conservation of the coral reefs in Sagay Marine Reserve. Data was gathered from 80 students per school through a group administered survey. High school students are willing to contribute resources and do volunteer work for conservation activity. The total WTP of the students amounted to Php 3,156,894.02 per month. The selected mode of payment was through student government collection. The top reasons for their decision to pay were: existence values, altruistic motive, and bequest value. The factors that affect the students’ WTP were bid price, household size, monthly income and perceived importance. This study amplified the roles of the youth in the conservation of natural resources. Indeed, the youth can be a valuable resource capital for coral reef conservation.

Developmental instability using fluctuating asymmetry is a tool for morphological assessment to reflect the state of species adaptation and individual fitness. This research focused on the conchological analysis of Corbicula fluminea (Muller, 1774) shells relative to key water parameters in Laguna de Bay, Philippines. Results from the western and eastern regions of the lake, characterized by marked differences in water qualities, indicate that linear shell characteristics are not significantly affected by water quality, in contrast to other geometric parameters. Geometric morphometrics of Malahanobis and Procrustes distances exhibit horizontal elongation in shells from the west, and vertical elongation in those from the east. Generalized linear mixed modelling of shell morphometry with water quality revealed an inverse relationship between NO3- and shell size, and a direct association between shell shape changes and elevated Cr (VI). The combination of NO3-, water pH and total suspended solids were the factors identified to have the most effect on shell size, with Cr (VI), NH4+, and water pressure playing significant roles in affecting shape. Results of this work demonstrate the utility of C. fluminea’s fluctuating asymmetry as influenced by water quality to constitute important baselines for the management of a lake and its biological resources.

The objective of the present work is to examine the linguistic-cultural characteristics of the phraseology units of the English and Uzbek languages ​​in the classroom. The national-cultural specificity of phraseology units with animal names, geographical names, historical terms, national clothing, plant names, and opening colors is caused by linguistic and extra linguistic factors. As a result of comparative experience, the following types of phraseology unit translations are differentiated between English and Uzbek phraseology units: equivalence-based translation, file-based translation, and descriptive translation.

Активизация партнерского взаимодействия семьи и школы в воспитании детей младшего школьного возраста
Authors: Абдураимов Шахбоз
Published: February 2022

В статье на основе анализа нормативно-правовых документов и психолого-педагогической литературы охарактеризованы принципы активизации партнерского взаимодействия семьи и школы в воспитании детей младшего школьного возраста. В частности: принцип природосообразности, открытости, оздоровительной направленности, стимулирования физической деятельности, научности, коллегиальности, сотрудничества, диалогичности, целостности и системности, преемственности и последовательности, активности и сознательности. Рассмотрена концепция физического воспитания в системе "семья - школа", являющимся личностно-ориентированным физическим воспитанием, позволяющее оптимально сочетать интересы социально значимой деятельности и конкретной личности за счет активизации механизма ее социокультурного привлечения к факторам физического воспитания. Потому что начиная с рождения ребенка в семье последовательно формируются мотивы, интересы и привычки к регулярным занятиям физической культурой и спортом. Такие приоритеты формируются благодаря взаимодействию общеобразовательных учебных заведений с семьей, что действительно повышает педагогическую культуру родителей и основу их здорового образа жизни.
