Authors: Menezes Montenegro Tânia , Alves Morais de Oliveira Lídia Cristina , De Souza Lopes Marcello
Published: April 2018

As nações desenvolvidas têm promovido o avanço de metodologias de gestão que otimizem o desempenho da Administração Pública, cujos alicerces são a direção, o controle e a accountability das organizações. Neste contexto, e tendo por base a concepção de instituições internacionais das áreas da Administração, Contabilidade e Auditoria, o objetivo deste artigo é analisar a adequabilidade dos Sistemas de Controle Interno Organizacional (SCIO) em funcionamento nas Unidades Gestoras (UG) do Comando da Aeronáutica (COMAER) do Brasil, valendo-se das percepções dos seus agentes responsáveis. Constatou-se que OS SCIO do COMAER revelam uma aderência moderada às boas práticas internacionais de controle interno, embora se conclua que, nalgumas áreas, essa aderência permaneça ainda num estágio inicial.
The Effect of Psychological Capital Level of Employees on Workplace Stress and Employee Turnover Intention
Authors: Çelik Mazlum
Published: April 2018

There have been ongoing debates on ways to manage occupational stress. One of the most important debates is on how to increase employees’ resistance level against stress. The purpose of this research is to examine the effects of psychological capital on workplace stress and turnover intention, and to reveal the mediation of workplace stress on the relationship between the psychological capital level of employees and turnover intention. Research was conducted on 719 employees of the tourism sector in Antalya (Turkey), thought to be under great stress due to the intense interaction with customers. In this context, confirmatory factor analysis was made in order to test whether the adapted scales were appropriate for research data. Hypotheses and the effect of mediation were tested through hierarchical regression. The results proved that psychological capital has a negative and significant effect on workplace stress and employee turnover intention. Furthermore, research outcomes showed that workplace stress partially mediates the effect of psychological capital on turnover intention. Practitioners of the tourism sector were advised about the importance of psychological capital, which can be improved by training, in terms of finding solutions to job stress and turnover rate.
Políticas y Estrategias de Vinculación con el Medio en Universidades Regionales Estatales de Colombia y Chile
Authors: Cancino Víctor , Cárdenas Julián
Published: April 2018

La relación entre universidad y entorno ha sido abordada desde distintas perspectivas desde el siglo XIX, existiendo una evolución conceptual para entender este vínculo en función de la visión que predomine sobre el papel de la universidad, en un determinado contexto y época. En América Latina conviven actualmente dos enfoques predominantes: la extensión y la vinculación con el medio, cuyas concepciones tienen raíces comunes. Pero al no existir un consenso claro sobre sus características constitutivas, se dificulta su análisis y la comparación de los resultados, tanto en el ámbito nacional como internacional. Este artículo analiza los resultados de un estudio comparativo de políticas y estrategias de vinculación con el medio en una muestra de universidades regionales estatales de Colombia y Chile, definiendo el ámbito de vinculación preponderante en estas. El trabajo se desarrolló a través del paradigma cualitativo, bajo un enfoque descriptivo. Los resultados permiten afirmar que el área de vinculación con el medio está en construcción, que los conceptos de vinculación y extensión coexisten y que el ámbito con mayor preponderancia es el cultural, con tendencia hacia el económico o de transferencia, por encima de lo social.
Modeling the Motivations for Offshore Outsourcing: A Theoretical Approach
Authors: Nieves-Rodriguez Elsa , Palacios-Chacon Lorena A. , Pérez Rivera Myra Mabel , Quiñones-Cintrón Victor
Published: April 2018

Offshore outsourcing by organizations has been gaining momentum, powered by advances in information technology and costs differentials. A review of the literature on the subject, though, shows that those scholars who have focused on offshore outsourcing have centered their attention on the activities of multinational enterprises (MNEs) in the manufacturing and services sectors, leaving behind small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Through a number of propositions, this paper suggests that SMEs could also benefit from offshore outsourcing given their particular characteristics and needs. The paper also discusses the similarities and differences in the motivations that SMEs might have in subcontracting their activities outside their boundaries in comparison to MNEs. Knowing this information is important for foreign suppliers in order to adapt and expand their offerings to the needs of these particular firms.

Authors: Peñas Felizzola Olga Luz , Parra-Esquivel Eliana I. , Gómez-Galindo Ana M.
Published: April 2018

Objetivo Identificar condiciones y experiencias sobre la seguridad del paciente en prácticas académicas de terapia ocupacional de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia.Métodos Estudio descriptivo transversal, con una muestra integrada por 29 estudiantes de práctica académica del programa Terapia Ocupacional. Diseño y aplicación de una encuesta sobre atención segura de usuarios (versión electrónica), sometida a revisión de expertos para validar su contenido. Previamente, cada estudiante dio su consentimiento para la realización de la encuesta.Resultados Las caídas de los pacientes son las que se escapan más frecuentemente del reporte o registro en el sitio de práctica (47,1 % de los estudiantes nunca las reporta). A pesar de esto, es el evento que mayor registro presenta con respecto a otros reportes (41,1 %). En menor proporción los estudiantes siempre dejan reporte de los incidentes relacionados con documentación y registro, y con equipos y dispositivos de atención (21,5 % y 28,6 %, respectivamente). En estas dos últimas categorías son más numerosos los estudiantes que sólo algunas veces reportan lo ocurrido (46,4  % en ambos casos).Discusión Es necesario avanzar en la indagación sobre las causas y consecuencias de los eventos que afectan la seguridad del paciente en las prácticas de los estudiantes, y en la disposición de medidas de mejora que sean eficientes junto con el impacto que tienen al implementarse. Se requieren esfuerzos para transformar la posible percepción punitiva que pueda estar recayendo sobre el seguimiento de las medidas para la seguridad del paciente.Todo lo anterior podría estar explicando parte del considerable subregistro de incidentes que documenta la literatura y que coincide con los hallazgos de este estudio.

Authors: Damanhuri Rahma Y. , Prihartiningsih Prihartiningsih , Rahajoe Poerwati S.
Published: April 2018

Objective: This paper reports a case of mandibular ramus parosteal osteosarcoma, discussing diagnostic problems and reviewing treatment variations. Methods: A 37 year old male patient was referred by a private hospital with a history of abscesses treatment and removal of his right lower molar 1.5 years ago. The wound in his tooth socket was not healed. Swelling with abscesses recurred and was diagnosed as osteomyelitis. The Orthopantomogram (OPG) result showed a description of osteomyelitis, and the Multi Slice Computed Tomography (MSCT) 3D confirmed the suspected osteosarcoma. Histopathologic results indicated parosteal osteosarcoma. Result: Hemimandibulectomy and chemotherapy were performed with good results.Conclusion: This parosteal osteosarcoma was difficult to diagnosis quickly because the initial image resembled osteomyelitis but it was low grade and rare; therefore, meticulous and accurate diagnosis was deemed necessary. Chemotherapy-combined surgery was thereby performed for treating this parosteal osteosarcoma.
Long exposure of argon plasma coagulation induces more thermal damage accompanied by a higher expression of NF-κB and caspase-3
Authors: Wariz Rahmat , Ou Keng-Liang , Ruslin Muhammad , Thalib Bahruddin , Liu Chung-Ming , Chou Hsin-Hua
Published: April 2018

Objective: Long exposure of argon plasma coagulation (APC) causes thermal damage and apoptosis in tissues. However, whether the APC-induced thermal damage in tissues involves the expression of NF-κB and caspase-3 remains undetermined. In this study, we compared the effect of APC on liver damage at two different exposure time and tested the hypothesis that thermal injuries induced by APC are accompanied by induction of NF-κB and caspase-3 expression in rat liver.Material and Methods: Liver injuries were induced in rats by an APC device with pulse mode for 2 or 4 seconds under the same frequency of power (40W). The animals were sacrificed 0, 3, 7 and 21 days after injury and the liver tissues were harvested and used for western blotting, histological and immunohistochemical analyses.Results: Haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stained sections of the liver tissues showed that two-second application of APC caused minimum thermal damage and apoptotic areas, less carbonization, and more fibrosis formation in liver than the four-second APC application at all time points examined. All of these APC-induced thermal effects and morphological changes in the two-second APC application group but not the four-second APC application group recovered 21 days after the treatment. Western blot results indicated that APC induced the expression of NF-κB on day 3, and peaked on days and 14. In the two-second APC application group, the expression of NF-κB returned to the normal level on day 28. However, the expression of NF-κB induced by 4 seconds of APC application remained high even 28 days after injury. The expression of caspase-3 induced by the 2 seconds or 4 seconds of APC application peaked at 7 or 14 days, respectively. Similarly, the APC-induce expression of caspase-3 returned to the normal level in the 2-second APC application group, but it still remained high in the 4-second APC application group even 28 days after injury. These results were further confirmed by The immunofluorescence data also indicated that APC exposure for 4 seconds induced a much higher expression of NF-κB than APC exposure for 2 seconds. The similar pattern was observed in the caspase-3 expression.Conclusions: Taken together, our results show that 2-second APC exposure causes minimum liver injury accompanied by the expressions of NF-κB and casapase-3 which return to the normal level 28 days after injury. These findings strongly suggest that the shortest pulse mode (2 seconds) application of APC is a safe, convenient, and effective approach for the treatment of particularly thermosensitive tissues.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DEVELOPING SINGLE PAGE APPLICATION AND TRADITIONAL WEB APPLICATION BASED ON MECHATRONICS ROBOT LABORATORY ONAFT APPLICATION
Authors: Solovei V. , Olshevska O. , Bortsova Y.
Published: April 2018

Today most of desktop and mobile applications have analogues in the form of web-based applications.  With evolution of development technologies and web technologies web application increased in functionality to desktop applications. The Web application consists of two parts of the client part and the server part. The client part is responsible for providing the user with visual information through the browser. The server part is responsible for processing and storing data.MPA appeared simultaneously with the Internet. Multiple-page applications work in a "traditional" way. Every change eg. display the data or submit data back to the server. With the advent of AJAX, MPA learned to load not the whole page, but only a part of it, which eventually led to the appearance of the SPA. SPA is the principle of development when only one page is transferred to the client part, and the content is downloaded only to a certain part of the page, without rebooting it, which allows to speed up the application and simplify the user experience of using the application to the level of desktop applications.Based on the SPA, the Mechatronics Robot Laboratory ONAFT application was designed to automate the management process. The application implements the client-server architecture. The server part consists of a RESTful API, which allows you to get unified access to the application functionality, and a database for storing information. Since the client part is a spa, this allows you to reduce the load on the connection to the server and improve the user experience

Bring Up the Bodies: The Classical Concept of Poetic Vividness and Its Reevaluation in Holocaust Literature
Authors: Itkin Alan
Published: April 2018

The scenario of someone gazing at corpses plays an important role in the work of three authors representing three generations of Holocaust literature: Peter Weiss, W. G. Sebald, and Jonathan Littell. Plato and Aristotle used this scenario to address a key question raised by the concept of poetic vividness, which they defined as putting a described scene before the reader's eyes: If literature shows us gruesome sights that we should not desire to see or enjoy seeing, does this make literature a form of voyeurism? Weiss, Sebald, and Littell evoke corpse gazing in the context of the Holocaust to answer this question and to articulate unique poetic philosophies that respond to the challenge to literature's validity constituted by the Holocaust. The diferent ways in which they use corpse gazing reveal how Holocaust literature has changed and continues to change as the era of survivor testimony wanes.
Metamorphoses: Fictioning and the Historian's Craft
Authors: Nappi Carla
Published: April 2018

Language and flesh create each other. here you will find three stories, from three ongoing projects, that are each in some way about the metamorphosis between word and body. Each story is an example of my use of fiction writing as a scholarly tool: for understanding a map as a material object, for weaving lives from textual fragments, and for making a little world with little gods as a way of exploring a work of theory. Fiction, here, is an apparatus for paying new kinds of attention, as well as a vehicle for creating stories, worlds, and selves to give to others. Some persistent concerns in my fiction writing have deeply influenced how I pay attention to the documents I work with in my research: concerns with materiality and history, with the legibility of bodies, with fragmentariness and the transformative power of desire, with the nature of selves and flesh as constantly in the process of becoming, with voicing and with fiction as technologies of conversion. (I did not understand, before writing “The Gesture of Smoking a Pipe,” which you'll read below, that there was an important link in Vilém Flusser's work between physical gesture, selfhood, and the calling down of—and metamorphosis of selves into—gods. Now, the connection between movement, identity, and conversion is becoming central to my work as a historian.) Imagining materiality and metamorphoses this way—and practicing the metamorphosis and conversion of documents—has pointed me toward the ways that materiality and material experience emerge out of relations and relationships and the ways that the kind of orientations that relate bodies in space and time leave traces in our documents.

Literally:How to Speak like an Absolute Knave
Authors: Hequembourg Stephen
Published: April 2018

A family of Shakespearean characters I call “the perverse literalists” takes the figurative language of their interlocutors in the most literal sense. While they make us laugh, these characters' perversely literal interpretations also highlight the physical and experiential grounds of common figures of speech and prod their interlocutors and the reader into a deeper understanding of the conditions of embodiment. his inventive use of the literal is a trope in its own right, one that has already been useful to cognitive linguists, phenomenologists, and new materialists. Metaphors we consider dead are, as others have suggested, merely sleeping, and the act of waking them up can be not merely funny but profoundly insightful. We should reexamine the widespread aversion to the misuse ofliterallyand think instead about what it can tell us about the physicality of such abstract experiences as love and luck, causality and cognition.

algısı ve bakış açısı oluşturmaktadır. Bu nedenle anlama modelini geliştirmeye
önem verilmelidir. Öğrenciye aynı tür metin ve yazarların verilmesi, anlama
modelinin dar ve sınırlı olmasını getirmektedir. Çeşitli metin ve etkinliklerle
öğrencilerin anlama modellerini geliştirmeye yardım edilmelidir. Yapılandırmacı

Authors: DARBANDI MAHBOOBEH PARVARESH , TAHERI JAFAR
Published: April 2018

Sulfur occurs naturally in the earth's crust as a pure element (native sulfur), as well as sulfide and sulfate minerals. From the biochemical point of view, sulfur is a vital element because it is a constituent of enzymes and other key proteins. In addition to modern uses of minerals, in old Iranian documents of traditional medicine, attention was paid to physico-chemical properties of minerals and the various methods of administration. In this review, the traditional usage of sulfur and sulfide minerals (e.g. orpiment, realgar and stibnite) and sulfate minerals (e.g. alum, jarosite, epsomite and melanterite) as documented in the Canon of Medicine of Avicenna (also known as Ibn Sina) and the Zakhireh Kharazmshahi of Jorjani, is compared with new findings about the advantages and disadvantages of these minerals in medical geology.

The main conditions for the selection of mineral drugs was described first by Avicenna. There is a high correlation between old and modern pharmaceutical practices. The most important results concern the application of alum as a hemostatic agent (to inhibit hemorrhages), the use of jarosite as a method for treating osteoarthritis, the choice of melanterite for treating eczema, killing insects and as an anti-bacterial agent, the use of epsomite as an active ingredient in laxatives, homeostatics and mineral supplements, and the extensive use of sulfur in dermatology for its keratolytic effects and its supposed anti-microbial effects. In this review, newly developed pharmaceutical information about the use and effects on health of sulfide minerals will be compared to traditional pharmaceutical applications.

Bu
çalışmada Y kuşağının son üyeleri olan lise öğrencilerinin eşitlikçi ve
geleneksel toplumsal cinsiyet rollerini benimseme düzeylerinin belirlenmesi,
toplumsal cinsiyet rollerini belirleyen değerlerde değişimin olup olmadığı,
varsa bu farklılaşmanın Y kuşağının özellikleri ve bazı değişkenlerin etkisi
bağlamında açıklanması amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma modeli tanımlayıcı-kesitsel
olarak tasarlanmış bir çalışmadır. Konya merkez ilçelerde bulunan farklı türde
öğretim programı uygulayan beş lisede 410 öğrenciye anket uygulanmıştır.
Örneklem seçkisiz örneklem tekniğiyle belirlenmiştir. Anket formu öğrencilerin
sosyo-demografik özellikleri ile ilgili sorular ile S. Zeyneloğlu ve F.
Terzioğlu tarafından hazırlanan ve geçerlilik-güvenirlilik çalışması aynı
yazarlar tarafından yapılan “Toplumsal Cinsiyet Rolü Tutum Ölçeği”nden
oluşmaktadır. Öğrencilerin “Toplumsal Cinsiyet Rolü Tutum Ölçeği” toplamından
aldıkları ortalama puan = 3,0623; “eşitlikçi toplumsal cinsiyet rolü” alt
boyutundan aldıkları ortalama puan = 4,0619, “geleneksel toplumsal cinsiyet rolü” alt
boyutundan ise = 3,1561’dir. Araştırma sonucuna göre, Y kuşağının son
jenerasyonu olan gençlerin eşitlikçi değerleri yüksek ve olumlu düzeyde

Published: April 2018

Spor, hem bireysel hem de takım olarak
yapıldığında bireylerin kişisel becerilerini ortaya çıkardığı gibi grup içi
birlik, beraberlik ve dayanışmayı sağladığından, bireylerin sosyalleşmesinde
önemli bir faktör olarak gösterilmektedir. Bu çalışma, dezavantajlı gruplar
içerisinde yer alan parçalanmış aileye mensup lise çağı gençliğinin
sosyalleşmesine sporun nasıl bir etkisinin olduğunu, spor yapmayan parçalanmış
aileye mensup lise çağı gençliği ile karşılaştırarak ortaya koymayı
amaçlamıştır. Nitel araştırma yöntemiyle Sakarya’nın Adapazarı ilçesinde
eğitim-öğretim gören parçalanmış aileye mensup spor yapan ve yapmayan 28 (14
spor yapan, 14 spor yapmayan) lise öğrencisiyle görüşmeler yapılmıştır. Parçalanmış
aileye mensup spor yapan ve spor yapmayan gençlerin serbest zaman pratiklerine
etki eden unsurlar tespit edilmiş ve araştırma sonucunda: gençlerin sorumluluk
alma, yalnızlıktan kurtulma, özgüven, etkin iletişim, statü ve prestij
kazanmalarında sporun nasıl bir etkisi olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
ORTAOKUL 6. SINIF MATEMATİK DERS KİTABINDAKİ ETKİNLİKLERİN AMAÇ, ÖĞRENCİ ÇALIŞMA BİÇİMİ VE UYGULANABİLİRLİK YÖNLERİYLE DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ
Authors: Bozkurt Ali
Published: April 2018

Bu çalışma kapsamında bir ortaokul 6. sınıf
matematik ders kitabındaki etkinlikler amaç, öğrenci çalışma biçimi ve
uygulanabilirlik yönleriyle incelenmiştir. Bu kapsamda doküman incelemesi
yoluyla Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı Talim ve Terbiye Kurulu’nca 2016 yılından
itibaren beş yıl süreyle ders kitabı olarak okutulmasına onay verilmiş bir
ortaokul 6. sınıf matematik ders kitabındaki 71 adet etkinlik incelenmiştir.
Etkinliklerin analizinde betimsel ve içerik analizi teknikleri kullanılmıştır.
Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgulara göre ders kitabındaki etkinlikler genelde
yeni bir kazanıma ulaşma veya pekiştirme amacıyla tasarlanmıştır. Ancak bu
etkinliklerin yarıya yakınının istenilen amaca götürmeyebileceği veya sınıf içi
uygulamalarda problem çıkabileceği görülmüştür. Sebep olarak ta yönergelerin
yanlış bilgiye götürebileceği veya öğrenci çalışma biçimleri yani katılımları açısından
net bir görev dağılımının olmaması olarak belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca etkinliklerin
genellikle öğrencilerin bireysel çalışmalarına uygun olarak tasarlandığı ve
öğretim sürecinde genellikle ilgili kazanım anlatıldıktan sonra ek bir çalışma
niteliğinde verildikleri görülmüştür.

Parkinson's disease (PD) often leads to poor balance, increased falls, and fear of falling, all of which can reduce participation in life activities. Yoga, which usually includes physical exercise, can improve functioning and life participation; however, limited research has been conducted on the effects of yoga on life participation of individuals with PD. This study had two purposes: (1) to identify and understand the perceived activities and participation outcomes associated a therapeutic yoga intervention for individuals with PD; and (2) to compare the perceived activities and participation outcomes with the outcomes measured in the clinical trial. A single-blind, randomized, waitlist-controlled, phase II exploratory pilot study using an after-trial embedded mixed methods design (clinical trial Pro00041068) evaluated the effect of an 8-week Hatha Yoga intervention on individuals with PD. Directed content analysis was used to analyze focus group interviews with participants who completed the yoga intervention. Quantitative and qualitative data were merged and compared using a data comparison matrix. Qualitative analysis indicated many activities and participation outcomes. Comparison of qualitative and quantitative data indicated the yoga intervention led to improved balance, mobility, and functional gait, and fewer falls. These outcomes reached beyond the intervention and into participants' daily lives. Results support the use of Hatha Yoga as a community-based rehabilitation intervention for individuals with PD. Yoga, as part of an interdisciplinary approach to treatment, can improve many types of activities and participation outcomes (e.g., mobility, social relationships, self-care, handling stress, recreation).

Published: April 2018

In the 20th century there was not so wide light sources choice like it is nowadays. Today it is possible to get lamps and other light sources of any colour, size, and brightness. Each of them affects people in their own way. Outside everyone can notice bright advertisments which use neon lamps and other types of lighting. It is obvious that advertisments with special lights are more noticable than other, which have only some text information. It is worth mentioning that optical cables are used to add some special effects and decorations in certain occasions, which draw even more attention.Aim of the research is to study more about modern light surces and about their usage in different fields of interest. Also make a research on how different light source types affect people and which type of lighting draws more attention than others.
