Factors affecting rates of infection and nonunion in intramedullary nailing
Authors: Malik M. H. A. , Harwood P. , Diggle P. , Khan S. A.
Published: February 2018

We report a retrospective study over five years to determine the incidence of infection and nonunion after intramedullary nailing in fractures of 214 long bones; 122 femoral, 75 tibial and 17 humeral. The indications for nailing were trauma (n = 161), pathological fracture (n = 30) and nonunion (n = 23). There were 30 open fractures. The overall rates of deep infection and nonunion were 3.8% and 14.2%, respectively.

Using multiple logistic regression analysis, we determined the relationships between deep infection and nonunion and the pre- and peri-operative factors of age, ASA score, indication for nailing, the use of reaming, the use of antibiotics, whether the fracture was open and the operating time. Open fractures were found to be significantly associated with deep infection. The length of the operation may also affect the outcome. Opening of the fracture at the time of surgery and the ASA score were found to be significantly associated with the development of nonunion after intramedullary nailing.

We have compared our findings with previously published data from large teaching hospital units.

Authors: Ippolito E. , Fraracci L. , Farsetti P. , Di Mario M. , Caterini R.
Published: February 2018

We performed CT to investigate how treatment may modify the basic skeletal pathology of congenital club foot. Two homogenous groups of patients treated by one of the authors (EI) or under his supervision were studied. The first included 32 patients with 47 club feet reviewed at a mean age of 25 years and treated by manipulation, application of toe-to-groin plaster casts and an extensive posteromedial release. The second included 32 patients with 49 club feet reviewed at a mean age of 19 years and treated by the Ponseti manipulation technique, application of toe-to-groin plaster casts and a limited posterior release.

At follow-up the shape of the subtalar, talonavicular and calcaneocuboid joints was found to be altered in many feet in both groups. This did not appear to be influenced significantly by the type of treatment performed. Correction of the heel varus and the increased declination angle of the neck of the talus was better in the club feet of the second group, whereas reduction of the medial subluxation of the navicular was better in the first. There was a marked increase in the external ankle torsion angle in the first group and a moderate increase of this angle in the second group, in which medial subluxation of the cuboid on the anterior apophysis of the calcaneum was always corrected. Equinus was corrected in both groups but three-dimensional CT reconstruction of the whole foot showed that cavus, supination and adduction deformities were corrected much better in the second group.

Published: February 2018

We present the results for 4762 revision total hip arthroplasties with no previous infection in the hip, which were reported to the Norwegian Arthroplasty Register between 1987 and 2003. The ten-year failure rate for revised prostheses was 26% (95% CI 25 to 26). Cox regression analyses were undertaken separately for acetabular and femoral revision components. Cemented revision components without allograft was the reference category. For acetabular components, we found a significantly reduced risk of failure for uncemented revisions both with (relative risk (RR) = 0.66; 95% CI 0.43 to 0.99) and without (RR = 0.37; 95% CI 0.22 to 0.61) allograft. For femoral components, we found a significantly reduced risk of failure for uncemented revisions, both with (RR = 0.27; 95% CI 0.16 to 0.46) and without (RR = 0.22; 95% CI 0.11 to 0.46) unimpacted allograft. This reduced risk of failure also applied to cemented revision components with allograft (RR = 0.53; 95% CI 0.33 to 0.84) and with impaction bone grafting (RR = 0.34; 95% CI 0.19 to 0.62). Revision prostheses have generally inferior results when compared with primary prostheses. Recementation without allograft, and uncemented revision with bone impaction, were associated with worse results than the other revision techniques which we studied.
Elevated, straight-arm traction for supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children
Authors: Gadgil A. , Hayhurst C. , Maffulli N. , Dwyer J. S. M.
Published: February 2018

Between January 1995 and December 2000, 112 children with a closed displaced supracondylar fracture of the humerus without vascular deficit, were managed by elevated, straight-arm traction for a mean of 22 days. The final outcome was assessed using clinical (flexion-extension arc, carrying angle and residual rotational deformity) and radiographic (metaphyseal-diaphyseal angle and humerocapitellar angle) criteria. Excellent results were achieved in 71 (63%) patients, 33 (29%) had good results, 5 (4.4%) fair, and 3 (2.6%) poor. All patients with fair or poor outcomes were older than ten years of age.

Elevated, straight-arm traction is safe and effective in children younger than ten years. It can be effectively used in an environment that can provide ordinary paediatric medical care and general orthopaedic expertise. The outcomes compare with supracondylar fractures treated surgically in specialist centres.

The standard Gamma nail or the Medoff sliding plate for unstable trochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures
Authors: Miedel R. , Ponzer S. , Törnkvist H. , Söderqvist A. , Tidermark J.
Published: February 2018

We studied 217 patients with an unstable trochanteric or subtrochanteric fracture who had been randomly allocated to treatment by either internal fixation with a standard Gamma nail (SGN) or a Medoff sliding plate (MSP, biaxial dynamisation mode). Their mean age was 84 years (65 to 99) and they were reviewed at four and 12 months after surgery. Assessments of outcome included general complications, technical failures, revision surgery, activities of daily living (ADL), hip function (Charnley score) and the health-related quality of life (HRQOL, EQ-5D).

The rate of technical failure in patients with unstable trochanteric fractures was 6.5% (6/93) (including intra-operative femoral fractures) in the SGN group and 5.2% (5/96) in the MSP group. In patients with subtrochanteric fractures, there were no failures in the SGN group (n = 16) and two in the MSP group (n = 12). In the SGN group, there were intra-operative femoral fractures in 2.8% (3/109) and no post-operative fractures. There was a reduced need for revision surgery in the SGN group compared with the MSP group (8.3%; 9/108; p = 0.072). The SGN group also showed a lower incidence of severe general complications (p < 0.05) and a trend towards a lower incidence of wound infections (p = 0.05). There were no differences between the groups regarding the outcome of ADL, hip function or the HRQOL. The reduction in the HRQOL (EQ-5Dindexscore) was significant in both groups compared with that before the fracture (p < 0.005).

Our findings indicate that the SGN showed good results in both trochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures. The limited number of intra-operative femoral fractures did not influence the outcome or the need for revision surgery. Moreover, the SGN group had a reduced number of serious general complications and wound infections compared with the MSP group. The MSP in the biaxial dynamisation mode had a low rate of failure in trochanteric fractures but an unacceptably high rate when used in the biaxial dynamisation mode in subtrochanteric fractures.

The negative influence of an unstable trochanteric or subtrochanteric fracture on the quality of life was significant regardless of the surgical method.
Operative treatment of displaced fractures of the acetabulum

Published: February 2018

Over the past 40 years, the management of displaced fractures of the acetabulum has changed from conservative to operative. We have undertaken a meta-analysis to evaluate the classification, the incidence of complications and the functional outcome of patients who had undergone operative treatment of such injuries.

We analysed a total of 3670 fractures. The most common long-term complication was osteoarthritis which occurred in approximately 20% of the patients. Other late complications, including heterotopic ossification and avascular necrosis of the femoral head, were present in less than 10%. However, only 8% of patients who were treated surgically needed a further operation, usually a hip arthroplasty, and between 75% and 80% of patients gained an excellent or good result at a mean of five years after injury. Factors influencing the functional outcome included the type of fracture and/or dislocation, damage to the femoral head, associated injuries and co-morbidity which can be considered to be non-controllable, and the timing of the operation, the surgical approach, the quality of reduction and local complications which are all controllable. The treatment of these injuries is challenging. Tertiary referrals need to be undertaken as early as possible, since the timing of surgery is of the utmost importance. It is important, at operation, to obtain the most accurate reduction of the fracture which is possible, with a minimal surgical approach, as both are related to improved outcome.

Modelación estadística de la textura del clutter marino en Matlab
Authors: Machado Fernández José Raúl , Pupo Hondal Raiko Israel
Published: February 2018

Contexto: La modelación estadística de la señal interferente conocida como clutter marino se efectúa a través de dos componentes: uno de capilaridad y otro de textura. La distribución más utilizada para la textura es la gamma. No obstante, varios autores han defendido el uso alternativo de la inversa gamma y la inversa gaussiana.Método: Con el objetivo de brindar un acceso fácil a la manipulación de los modelos y a la realización de comparaciones entre ellos, los autores del presente artículo simularon en Matlab las características principales de estas tres distribuciones. Adicionalmente, se agregó la distribución raíz gamma que sustituye a la gamma cuando se trabaja con muestras de amplitud. El método aplicado consistió en la revisión bibliográfica para encontrar las expresiones de cada uno de los parámetros modelados, y la posterior simulación computacional que permitió detectar errores ocasionales que surgen al consultar diferentes estudios.Resultados: Se creó una pequeña librería de simulación estocástica que incluye funciones de densidad y distribución, generación de variables aleatorias, estimación de parámetros y cálculo de momentos estadísticos, entre otros. Además, se elaboraron funciones informáticas complementarias que permitieron la validación por comparación con resultados dados por terceros y mediante la interacción de los diferentes componentes de la librería.Conclusiones: La librería creada habilita el uso de múltiples distribuciones, para la modelación del eco electromagnético de la superficie marina. Esto permitirá generar nuevos detectores de radar que se adapten a condiciones heterogéneas como las encontradas en las costas cubanas, donde alternan distintos niveles de profundidad, manglares, aguas salobres, islotes, vegetación acuática prominente, entre otras.

Authors: Ayhan Ahmet , Çakmak Fatma
Published: February 2018

Today media as a forth power, presents the goings-on which is all over the world, by forming around it’s ideology, to crowed of people consumption. Therefore, media shows the events as it wanted and aims to make them think in the same direction. Otherwise, violence and terror is increasingly going on in the postmodern world. Media transfers this negative way to a number of ideologies. So that the masses exposed to ideological violence of media, take shape according to presented content.Accordingly, the aim of the study is to determine how media has a role in connection with spreading, interaction with one another news, discourse and ideology and the ideologic violence of media over Ankara and Paris terror attack news on Turkish and French press. Critical discourse analysis of van Dijk was implemented as a method. While one of the obtained findings is that Cumhuriyet and Libération news constitute news contents which highlights the opposing ideology way and the other one is that Yeni Akit and Le Figaro news use the news discourses on the main stream. At the end of the study, it was determined that media is not objective, presents the same news with different contents and serves to definite ideologies.Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetMedya bugün tüm dünyada dördüncü güç olarak, olup bitenleri egemen güçlerin ideolojisi etrafında şekillendirerek kitlelerin tüketimine sunmaktadır. Dolayısıyla toplumlara olayları, kendi istediği gibi göstermekte ve onları aynı yönde düşündürmeyi hedeflemektedir. Diğer taraftan, postmodern dünyada şiddet ve terör artarak devam etmektedir. Medya bu olumsuz gidişatı birtakım ideolojilerle aktarmaktadır. Böylece kitleler medyanın ideolojik şiddetine maruz kalmakta, sunulan içeriklere göre şekillenmektedir.Bu doğrultuda çalışmanın amacı; medyanın, ideolojilerin yayılması noktasında nasıl bir role sahip olduğunu, haber, söylem ve ideolojinin birbiriyle etkileşimini ve medyanın ideolojik şiddetini, Türk ve Fransız basınında, Ankara ve Paris terör saldırıları haberleri üzerinden tespit etmektir. Çalışmada yöntem olarak; van Dijk’ın eleştirel söylem analizi uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular; Cumhuriyet ve Libération gazetelerinin muhalif ideolojiyi öne çıkaran yönde haber içerikleri oluştururken, Yeni Akit ve Le Figaro gazetelerinin ise ana akım yönünde haber söylemleri kullandığıdır. Çalışmanın sonucunda; medyanın tarafsız olmadığı, aynı olayı birbirinden çok farklı içeriklerle sunduğu ve belli ideolojilere hizmet ettiği tespit edilmiştir.

Authors: Soto-Cruz Jackeline , Alvarado-Aguilar Patricia , Vega-Baudrit Jose Roberto , Redondo-Gómez Carlos , Soto-Tellini Victor , Madrigal-Carballo Sergio , Rojas-Carrillo Oscar
Published: February 2018

Vesículas a base de L-α-fosfatidilcolina (PC) y mezclas de PC/fosfogliceroles fueron caracterizadas por medio de dispersión de luz dinámica (DLS), microscopía electrónica de barrido-criogénico (Cryo-SEM) y calorimetría de titulación isotérmica (ITC). La incorporación de fosfogliceroles en la formulación de vesículas a base PC disminuyó el  tamaño y la polidispersidad de las partículas, debido a un mayor empaquetamiento de las cadenas alifáticas por medio de interacciones de van der Waals. Además, resultó en una disminución significativa de la carga superficial de -75 mV comparada con el potencial Z (ξ) de las vesículas a base de PC. Ambos sistemas fueron modificados usando un polielectrolito catiónico (quitosano) de un peso molecular de 865 kDa y con un grado de desacetilación de 77 %.  La naturaleza aniónica de la vesícula fosfolipídica resultó en una efectiva interacción con el polielectrolito catiónico mediante fuerzas del tipo electrostática, la cual fue determinada por medio de ITC. Los resultados fueron complementados mediante la determinación de potencial Z de los sistemas modificados, lo cual demostró que no es necesaria una inversión completa de la carga inicial de la superficie de la vesícula para asegurar el recubrimiento de esta. La adición de concentraciones de quitosano mayores a 0,1 mg/mL condujo a la agregación de las vesículas, lo cual fue demostrado mediante Cryo-SEM y DLS. Este efecto fue más significativo para el sistema basado en dimiristoilfosfoglicerol sal de sodio y quitosano, debido a la fuerte atracción electrostática.

Published: February 2018

In an effort of searching for a new source of revenue for funding the infrastructure development for Indonesia, the government chose to do tax amnesty in 2016. This research was conducted to study the effects of factors (wealth, tariff periods, tax penalties, and audit probability) towards tax compliance. Tax compliance measured from the number of units reported by taxpayers, the amount of value indicated by taxpayers, and participation from taxpayers. The study uses primary data that generated through experimental economics. The methods used are Variance Analysis. The result showed that the taxpayer with higher income has lower compliance rather than the taxpayer from lower income. The taxpayers prefer to report their assets at lower rates. The effort of enforcement from the government by implementing tax penalties and audit probability shows greater effect towards tax compliance.DOI: 10.15408/etk.v17i1.6966

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Professional Identity Formation (PIF), the process of internalizing a profession's core values and beliefs, is an explicit goal of medical education. The Professional Identity Essay (PIE), a developmental measure of the extent to which individuals have a complex and self-defined understanding of their professional role, is a tool to both study and scaffold PIF. PIE staging has internal reliability and response process validity and correlates with a validated measure of moral reasoning. In this study, we investigate whether PIF, as measured by PIE, changes during pre-clerkship training.Medical students in the class of 2019 completed the PIE during orientation to medical school (PIE#1) and 15 months later, during orientation to clerkships (PIE#2), to the same prompts. These written responses are PIF-staged by an expert rater.On average, PIF scores reveal that 46% of the group remained at the same stage as they were on entry to medical school, 42% scored at a higher stage of PIF, and 15% of students scored at a lower stage of PIF after pre-clerkship training.This result suggests that medical students are heterogeneous with respect to the development of their medical PIF early in medical school training.

Published: February 2018

Abstract Between July 2014 and April 2015, we conducted weekly inventories of the circadian activity patterns of mammals in Passo Novo locality, municipality of Alegrete, southern Brazil. The vegetation is comprised by a grassy-woody steppe (grassland). We used two camera traps alternately located on one of four 1 km transects, each separated by 1 km. We classified the activity pattern of species by the percentage of photographic records taken in each daily period. We identify Cuniculus paca individuals by differences in the patterns of flank spots. We then estimate the density 1) considering the area of riparian forest present in the sampling area, and 2) through capture/recapture analysis. Cuniculus paca, Conepatus chinga and Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris were nocturnal, Cerdocyon thous had a crepuscular/nocturnal pattern, while Mazama gouazoubira was cathemeral. The patterns of circadian activity observed for medium and large mammals in this Pampa region (southern grasslands) may reflect not only evolutionary, biological and ecological affects, but also human impacts not assessed in this study. We identified ten individuals of C. paca through skin spot patterns during the study period, which were recorded in different transects and months. The minimum population density of C. paca was 3.5 individuals per km2 (resident animals only) and the total density estimates varied from 7.1 to 11.8 individuals per km2, when considering all individuals recorded or the result of the capture/recapture analysis, respectively.

RESUMO Análise da produção de artigos científicos sobre o tema Língua Brasileira de Sinais (Libras) no período de 1987 a 2014. A escolha do período ocorreu em função da comparação entre a produção de artigos sobre o tema antes e depois da promulgação da lei nº 10.436/2002, que reconheceu a Língua Brasileira de Sinais (Libras) como meio de comunicação dos surdos. A metodologia adotada foi de cunho quantitativo, com a adoção de técnicas bibliométricas para medir a produção em Libras. A pesquisa teve como corpus de investigação a citada produção científica declarada pelos pesquisadores em seus respectivos currículos disponibilizados na Plataforma Lattes. Foram identificados 102 autores e 241 artigos de periódicos. Verificou-se um aumento de títulos de doutores após a promulgação da Lei de Libras. A produção de 241 artigos de periódicos foram produzidos por 102 autores. Os títulos de periódicos que mais publicaram artigos sobre Libras estão ligados à instituição especializada como o Instituto Nacional de Educação de Surdos (INES), Linguística, Estudos Linguísticos e Educação. Mesmo em uma temática com pouco tempo de existência constatou-se significativo crescimento na publicação de artigos sobre o tema, cerca de 417%, após a promulgação da lei de Libras. Portanto, conclui-se que ocorreu um reflexo positivo para o desenvolvimento da área depois da promulgação da lei de Libras.
Processo de busca e recuperação de informação em ambientes organizacionais: uma reflexão teórica sobre a subjetividade da informação
Authors: Teixeira Thiciane Mary Carvalho , Valentim Marta Lígia Pomim
Published: February 2018

RESUMO A recuperação eficiente de informações relevantes para o negócio organizacional ainda se constitui em um desafio para os gestores de informação, principalmente se o objetivo for incentivar e possibilitar o amplo acesso às informações geradas internamente e externamente à organização, visando realizar ações estratégicas. Nessa perspectiva, o gerenciamento da informação passou a ser uma atividade imprescindível para as organizações, ou seja, prospectar e monitorar informações que propiciem decisões e ações estratégicas, de maneira a propiciar diferenciais competitivos organizacionais. As condições de acesso e busca para a apropriação e uso de informações no contexto organizacional tornou-se uma atividade complexa devido à subjetividade da informação, característica esta que impõe ao gestor da informação desenvolver uma percepção aguçada no que tange ao mundo informacional, de maneira a atender as necessidades e demandas informacionais eficazmente.

RESUMO As informações e símbolos envolvendo produtos de alta tecnologia são comuns na literatura acadêmica e do mercado, sobre produtores e de consumidores. A tecnologia evoluiu rapidamente desde a revolução industrial, porém a usabilidade dos produtos não evoluiu tanto, frustrando consumidores. Esta pesquisa visou analisar, usando a lógica do comportamento do consumidor, suas relações com produtos de alta tecnologia e a evolução do encanto antes e durante a compra, passando pelas expectativas, avaliação, dissonância cognitiva e chegando a casos de raiva, retaliação e vingança. Foi construído um modelo analítico utilizando esses construtos. Com base nesse modelo, observou-se bom nível de correlação entre os construtos Dissonância Cognitiva e Raiva e entre os construtos Raiva e Retaliação/Vingança. A pesquisa demonstra que grande parcela dos consumidores possui a crença de que aparelhos sofisticados e modernos vão resolver seus problemas e são fáceis de usar. Entretanto, isto não acontecendo, surgem a frustração e raiva.
Correlações entre compostos fenólicos e atividade antioxidante em casca e polpa de variedades de uva de mesa
Authors: Souza Angela Vacaro de , Vieira Marcos Ribeiro da Silva , Putti Fernando Ferrari
Published: February 2018

Resumo Uvas são consideradas excelentes fontes de compostos fenólicos, quando comparadas a outros vegetais; porém, a grande diversidade entre as cultivares resulta em frutos com diferentes características, tanto de sabor quanto de coloração, o que, certamente, está associado com o conteúdo e o perfil de compostos polifenólicos. Cascas e polpas de amostras de uva no ponto de consumo − tipos “Itália”, “Brasil”, “Rubi”, “Thompson” e “Niágara Rosada” − da região de Campinas e Jundiaí, Estado de São Paulo, foram estudadas com o objetivo de avaliar a atividade antioxidante, a atividade enzimática da peroxidase e da polifenoloxidase e os teores de compostos fenólicos e de ácido ascórbico. A fim de verificar as correlações entre as cascas e polpas das variedades e as características, utilizou-se a Correlação de Pearson, a distância generalizada de Mahalanobis (D2) e, por fim, o agrupamento das diferentes respostas através da análise multivariada. Verificou-se que as cascas das uvas analisadas apresentaram correlação positiva com o conteúdo de compostos fenólicos, a atividade da enzima polifenoloxidase e com o teor de ácido ascórbico, exceto a cultivar “Niágara Rosada”, a qual mostrou maiores valores para estas avaliações. Não houve correlação entre o índice de atividade antioxidante com as demais análises realizadas. As cascas se mostraram uma ótima fonte para estes compostos.

ABSTRACT Purpose: to investigate the toxicity effects of major hydrocarbons present in gasoline on the auditory system and the related mechanisms of action. Methods: a literature review between 2005 and 2015 was conducted using LILACS, MEDLINE and SciELO, by combining descriptors and their respective terms in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Results: studies performed in humans and animals with hearing impairment, confirmed by morphological tests in rats, the influence of factors such as dose, duration, species and type of stimulus in hearing loss, and ineffective protection of workers by the threshold levels of exposure in the mixture of the compounds, were chosen. Conclusion: toluene is regarded as an ototoxic compound that damages outer hair cells in the middle region of the cochlea, with evidence of interaction with noise. Ethylbenzene and xylenes can be considered potentially ototoxic based on the results of animal studies. No sufficient data were found on benzene to form a conclusion.

Published: February 2018

Plate anchors are one the most important retaining objects that are widely used in onshore and offshore structures. This study was conducted to evaluate the performance of plate anchor retaining walls based on experimental modelling. The evaluation includes the assessment of the effects of the square and circular forms of the anchor plates, their dimensions and the reinforcement configuration. To visualise the critical slip surface occurring in the soil surrounding the wall and the effects of these parameters on the failure wedge, the particle image velocimetry (PIV) technique was applied. The results showed that the highest bearing capacity and the lowest horizontal displacement of the wall were in the 5-anchors, the diamond and the square reinforcement configurations in that order. The diamond configuration with one less reinforcement showed a relatively lower difference from the results found for the 5-anchors configuration. The circular anchor plates provided higher stability in the wall. According to the results of the PIV analysis, the particle strain on the critical slip surface was smaller in the 5-anchors and the diamond reinforcement configurations than in the square reinforcement configuration. The values of the particle strain in the circular plates were smaller than in the square anchor plates.

Authors: De Jesus Gedalva Bispo , Lima Thiago Cavalcante
Published: February 2018

Diante dos elevados números de mulheres vitimadas sem o devido acolhimento/tratamento no Brasil, este estudo pretende promover a discussão acerca da violência psicológica, como desdobramento das outras formas de violência, principalmente, da violência doméstica, que necessita das intervenções psicoterapêuticas adequadas. Assim, como apresentara viabilidade da utilização da Terapia Cognitivo-Comportamental (TCC) para o tratamento destes casos. Para isso realizou-se uma revisão narrativa de literatura, que contempla autores clássicos e artigos científicos publicados nos últimos anos. Ao final, percebeu-se, portanto, que há uma insuficiência de pesquisas que versam sobre os danos provocados pela violência psicológica, bem como a importância da psicologia para o empoderamento das mulheres.

Um dos processos realizados pelo setor de Recursos Humanos de uma organização é o Recrutamento e Seleção; esta, talvez seja uma das práticas mais realizadas pelas empresas e que possui diferentes formas a depender da necessidade e da cultura organizacional de cada uma delas, pois o que cada empresa busca na contratação de pessoas, são candidatos e futuros colaboradores aptos ao exercício da função. Surge, então, o objeto desta pesquisa, a utilização de ferramentas tecnológicas para este processo, a qual é denominada de e-recrutamento. . Portanto, o objetivo deste artigo é investigar a importância da utilização de ferramentas online no processo de Recrutamento e Seleção das organizações. E, para isto é preciso observar o uso de ferramentas online em processos de seleção à distância, como também averiguar o quanto a tecnologia pode auxiliar na aproximação com os candidatos e comparar as etapas de seleção presencialmente com as etapas online, observando as questões de tempo, economia, comunicação e disponibilidade dos candidatos em relação a cada uma delas. Desta forma, a metodologia utilizada foi a revisão sistemática da literatura e, foram pesquisados artigos científicos publicados no período de 2002 a 2014 encontrados nas bases de dados da SCIELO, PEPSIC E GOOGLE ACADÊMICO, além de livros das áreas de administração, recursos humanos e psicologia organizacional e do trabalho.  Verificou-se, então, que a prática do e-recrutamento e a seleção online podem ser atendidas em diversas demandas que atualmente são apresentadas para a área organizacional e/ou recursos humanos, além de contribuir para efetivar de forma positiva nos quesitos aproximação e facilidade de comunicação entre candidatos e empresas, como maior dinamicidade, otimização do tempo e baixo custo nos processos e resultados.

Avaliar o desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor de crianças de 0 – 18 meses de determinada microárea assistida por uma Unidade Básica de Saúde da Família (UBASF). Realizou-se um estudo descritivo, observacional e longitudinal com estratégia de análise quantitativa dos resultados em uma UBASF localizada na cidade de Maracanaú/CE. Para coleta de dados, utilizou-se a ficha de avaliação presente na Caderneta de Saúde da Criança (CSC) agregada a outra ficha elaborada pelos autores onde continham dados sociodemográficos. Participaram do estudo 17 crianças. Foi possível evidenciar que nove (53%) crianças apresentaram todos os marcos esperados para a idade de acordo com a tabela de acompanhamento do desenvolvimento presente na CSC. Das crianças que não apresentaram todos os marcos para a faixa etária, sete (87,5%) estavam entre um a seis meses e um (12,5%) entre 13 a 18 meses. Entretanto, nenhuma criança foi considerada com atraso no desenvolvimento, pois estavam dentro dos períodos específicos para realizar cada marco. Evidenciou-se que nenhuma criança apresentou atraso no desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor. Por fim, ressalta-se a importância da realização da triagem completa durante as consultas de puericultura e da utilização do instrumento já presente na CSC.
