L’EVOLUZIONE DEL TAX WHISTLEBLOWING: DAL CONTRASTO ALL’EVASIONE FISCALE INTERNAZIONALE ALLA PREVENZIONE DELLA PIANIFICAZIONE FISCALE AGGRESSIVA
Authors: Marino Prof. Giuseppe
Published: October 2020

I più recenti scandali finanziari (LGT, UBS, HSBC, LuxLeaks, Panama Papers) hanno fatto emergere fenomeni di evasione e frode fiscale internazionale di proporzioni inimmaginabili e sono scoppiati grazie al ruolo giocato nell’ombra dai tax whistleblowers, versione moderna delle spie di altri tempi il cui agire si è sempre retto sul precario equilibrio tra i contrastanti sentimenti di biasimo e di ammirazione. Ma la morale non è in grado di discernere i confini tra interesse pubblico e interesse individuale e spinge affinché la legge trasformi magicamente il vizio della delazione nella virtù di una segnalazione, nobiliti una facoltà avvolta nell’incertezza delle sue conseguenze in un diritto meritevole di protezione giuridica. Nel diritto tributario addirittura la protezione del diritto di segnalare le patologie finanziarie è stata preceduta da un vero e proprio dovere, altrimenti sanzionabile, di informare la Pubblica Autorità su sospetti di evasione e frode fiscale nazionale ed internazionale. E poiché la dimensione globale di quella evasione interpretativa che è la pianificazione fiscale aggressiva sta assumendo proporzioni senza precedenti, si rende necessario estendere gli obblighi di segnalazione addirittura in prevenzione di questo nuovo disvalore sociale. Tutto questo comporta dal punto di vista morale una diversa percezione delle libertà individuali, e dal punto di vista giuridico un diverso rapporto Fisco contribuente, su cui è bene cominciare ad interrogarsi.

APLICAÇÃO DA IFRS N. 15 AOS CONTRATOS DE CONCESSÃO NO BRASIL: “JOGO DE MARGENS” POR VANTAGENS TRIBUTÁRIAS?
Authors: Vieira Jorge
Published: October 2020

Este trabalho tem o propósito de investigar uma possível consequência tributária da aplicação da IFRS n. 15 aos contratos de concessão no Brasil. Um fenômeno observado em determinado conjunto de companhias concessionárias de serviços públicos integrantes de um segmento específico foi a diferença entre suas margens de construção e operação, conforme evidenciado nos anexos 1 e 2 deste artigo. Considerando a legislação tributária vigente que permite o diferimento da tributação da margem de lucro auferida com atividade de construção e também permite para fins tributários uma escolha de margem de lucro para diferentes atividades (presunção de lucro), a hipótese do planejamento tributário foi levantada como uma explicação razoável do fenômeno. As evidências qualitativas e quantitativas coligidas com a amostra de companhias selecionadas, no período escolhido (2107 e 2018), não foram conclusivas. Elas geraram resultados não consistentes. Se por um lado os resultados podem explicar margens de algumas companhias, por outro não explicam a moda estatística observada: margem de C&U zero e margem de O&M positiva. Uma amostra maior que a adotada, contemplando companhias de outros segmentos, em horizonte temporal maior (2017, 2018 e 2019), poderá produzir resultados mais robustos e assegurar inferências melhores acerca do conjunto de companhias estudadas.
Economic Inequality, Regional Development, and Internal Migration in Indonesia
Authors: Prima Irfan Teguh , Khoirunurrofik Khoirunurrofik
Published: October 2020

This study aims to probe the determinants of inter-provincial migration flows in Indonesia and how economic and development changes affect migration patterns. We employ three census periods, 1990, 2000, and 2010. Our study finds that an increase in relative inequality between origin and destination provinces decreases inter-provincial migration and relatively high distance elasticity in Indonesia leads to high migration cost. People are more inclined to migrate due to push factors as opposed to pull factors from the destination region, thus indicating a strong relationship between the level of regional development and the willingness of people to migrate.
An Empirical Analysis of Household Debt Behavior Determinants
Authors: Herispon Herispon
Published: October 2020

This study identifies the determinants of debt behaviors and their effects on household consumption. We surveyed households in Riau, particularly in Pekanbaru and its neighboring areas, using purposive sampling and collected 390 useable responses. Our findings show that of the ten determinants considered, debt behavior can be explained by five determinants: (i) imitated lifestyle and consumerism, (ii) ability to manage money from debt, (iii) effects of promotion on the internet and visual media, (iv) monthly income, and (v) increasing household expenses and dependants. Implications of the findings are discussed.
Corruption and Economic Growth in ASEAN Member Countries
Authors: Alfada Anisah
Published: October 2020

This study examines the effect of corruption on economic growth and determines the corruption threshold in nine ASEAN member countries in 1999–2016. This study assesses whether the effect of corruption is growth-enhancing or growth-deteriorating in different corruption threhsolds using a sample-splitting and threshold model. In contrast to the existing literature, this study does not group countries based on income level and therefore can reveal the corruption level of a country relative to a corruption threshold. The estimation results show that the adverse effect of corruption on economic growth is stronger for countries with corruption levels above the second threshold of 80.
Enhancing Resilience to Turbulent Global Financial Markets: An Indonesian Experience
Authors: Indrawati Sri Mulyani , Diop Ndiame , Ikhsan Mohamad , Kacaribu Febrio
Published: October 2020

In the empirical literature, large and abrupt declines in capital inflows, or sudden stops, typically hit asset markets and generate output losses in the receiving countries. The significant decrease in capital flows to emerging markets in 2018 is a unique opportunity to test this premise. Using Indonesian data, we found that the sharp decline in capital inflows for over two consecutive quarters in 2018 had an adverse impact on the currency, equities, and bond markets, but no discernible output loss was recorded. Real GDP growth remained resilient throughout 2018 and held broadly steady at around 5 percent in the first quarter of 2019. Furthermore, asset markets rebounded quickly, regaining most of the losses incurred by March 2019. We attribute this resilience to Indonesia’s strong macroeconomic fundamentals and responsive fiscal and monetary policies. We argue that to sustain this resilience in the years to come, complementary structural reforms to boost export-oriented FDI would be needed. The 2020 COVID-19 global pandemic has put the emerging economies to the test again, with a possibly more significant impact. We will revisit our analysis in the future in the aftermath of the pandemic.
The Impact of Entrepreneurship on Economic Performance in Indonesia
Authors: Kadarusman Yohanes B.
Published: October 2020

Entrepreneurship is claimed to have a positive and significant effect on economic growth in developed countries, but less so in developing countries. Using the growth model, this study examines the impact of entrepreneurship on economic performance in Indonesia as indicated by economic growth and income per-capita from 1985 to 2017. The estimation result confirms the non-significant effect of the growth of entrepreneurial ventures on the growth of GDP per-capita. However, the accumulation of the ventures has a positive and significant effect on the level of GDP per capita. The different typology of entrepreneurial ventures in Indonesia provides some insight to explain the finding, namely: scale does matter. Indonesia already has abundant micro-scale entrepreneurs, but it has only a limited amount of small-scale entrepreneurs, and even fewer medium or large-scale entrepreneurs. This finding contributes to a better understanding of the statistically non-significant impact of entrepreneurship on economic growth in developing countries. This study also suggests that entrepreneurship policy in Indonesia should focus more on facilitating micro-scale ventures to continuously develop toward small, medium, and ultimately large-scale enterprises rather than on creating start-ups.

Published: October 2020

The purpose of this study is to find the causative factors and problems of the GKSI Filadelfia Buntu Barana congregation that are less experiencing spiritual growth. Than directed through the strategy of pastors or servants of God to increase formation of the congregation in the midst of many of their busy actifities that prioritize work rather than worship or followship in church on Sundays. The methods used in this study are: First, the library research method is a study of  books end literature relating to this research as a theorectical reference. Second, the method of field research is research conducted directly to the object of research by observation or direct observation in the field, and interviews. The conclusions of this study are: first, the spiritual growth hampered by the GKSI Buntu Barana congregation because there is not yet real repentance for some congregations, second, there are obstacles that hinder the spiritual growth of the GKSI Buntu Barana congregation, including the lack of community and social environment that does not support spiritual growth of the church. Third, some effective strategies in increasing the spiritual quality of congregants are by engaging in their busy activities by getting involved in their busy work, outside of worship hours as Christians should: Suday Services, Hausehold Services, School Services Sunday, Youth Services, Church prayer Services, and visits if they are at home. In addition we as servents of Gad often provide young people with a variety of creativity.

Food Identities at Home and on the Move
Authors: Crenn Chantal
Published: October 2020

How does food restore the fragmented world of migrants and the displaced? What similar processes are involved in challenging, maintaining or reinforcing divisions between groups coexisting in the same living place? Food Identities at Home and on the Move examines how ‘home’ is negotiated around food in the current worldwide context of uncertainty, mobility and displacement.

Drawing on empirical approaches to heritage, identity and migration studies, the contributors analyse the relationship between food and the various understandings of home and dwelling. With case studies on sushi around the world, food as heritage in the Afghan diaspora and Mexican foodways in Chicago, these chapters offer novel readings on the convergence of food and migration studies, the anthropology of space and place and the field of mobility by focusing on how entangled stories of food and home are put on display for constructing the present and imagining the future.
Evaluation in Discourse: a Corpus-Based Study
Authors: Benamara Farah , Asher Nicholas , Mathieu Yvette Yannick , Popescu Vladimir , Chardon Baptiste
Published: October 2020

This paper describes the CASOAR corpus, the first manually annotated corpus that explores the impact of discourse structure on sentiment analysis with a study of movie reviews in French and in English as well as letters to the editor in French. While annotating opinions at the expression, the sentence or the document level is a well-established task and relatively straightforward, discourse annotation remains difficult, especially for non-experts. Therefore, combining both annotations poses several methodological problems that we address here. We propose a multi-layered annotation scheme that includes: the complete discourse structure according to the Segmented Discourse Representation Theory, the opinion orientation of elementary discourse units and opinion expressions, and their associated features. We detail each layer, explore the interactions between them and discuss our results. In particular, we examine the correlation between discourse and semantic category of opinion expressions, the impact of discourse relations on both subjectivity and polarity analysis and the impact of discourse on the determination of the overall opinion of a document. Our results demonstrate that discourse is an important cue for sentiment analysis, at least for the corpus genres we have studied.
Non-Native Differences in Prosodic-Construction Use
Authors: Ward Nigel G. , Gallardo Paola
Published: October 2020

Many language learners never acquire truly native-sounding prosody. Previous work has suggested that this involves skill deficits in the dialog-related uses of prosody, and may be attributable to weaknesses with specific prosodic constructions. Using semi-automated methods, we identified 32 of the most common prosodic constructions in English dialog. Examining 90 minutes of six advanced native-Spanish learners conversing in English, there were differences, notably regarding swift turn-taking, alignment, and empathy, but overall their uses of prosodic constructions were largely similar to those of native speakers.
Does pre-planning explain why predictability affects reference production?
Authors: Zerkle Sandra A. , Arnold Jennifer E.
Published: October 2020

How does thematic role predictability affect reference production? This study tests a planning facilitation hypothesis – that the predictability effect on reference form can be explained in terms of the time course of utterance planning. In a discourse production task, participants viewed two sequential event pictures, listened to a description of the first picture (depicting a transfer event between two characters), and then provided a description of the second picture (continuing with one thematic role character, either goal or source). We replicated previous findings that goal continuations lead to more reduced forms of reference and shorter latency to begin speaking than source continuations. Additionally, we tracked speakers’ eye movements in two periods of utterance planning, early vs. late. We found that 1) early pre-planning supports the use of reduced forms but is not affected by thematic role; 2) thematic role only affects late planning; and 3) in contrast with our hypothesis, planning does not account for predictability effects on reduced forms. We then speculate that discourse connectedness drives the thematic role predictability effect on reference form choice.

Abstract. 29 different fuel types used in residential dwellings in northern India were collected from across New Delhi (76 samples in total). Emission factors of a wide range of non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs) (192 compounds in total) were measured during controlled burning experiments using dual-channel gas chromatography with flame ionisation detection (DC-GD-FID), two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC-FID), proton-transfer-reaction time-of-flight mass spectrometry (PTR-ToF-MS) and solid-phase extraction two-dimensional gas chromatography with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (SPE-GC×GC-ToF-MS). 94 % quantification was achieved on average across all fuel types. The largest contributors to emissions from most fuel types were small non-aromatic oxygenated species, phenolics and furanics. The emission factors (in g kg−1) for total gas-phase NMVOCs were: fuel wood (18.7, 4.3–96.7), cow dung cake (62.0, 35.3–83.0), crop residue (37.9, 8.9–73.8), charcoal (5.4, 2.4–7.9), sawdust (72.4, 28.6–115.5), municipal solid waste (87.3, 56.6–119.1) and liquified petroleum gas (5.7, 1.9–9.8). The emission factors measured in this study allow for better characterisation, evaluation and understanding of the air quality impacts of residential solid fuel combustion in India.
Exploratory experiments on pre-activated freezing nucleation on mercuric iodide
Authors: Vali Gabor
Published: October 2020

Abstract. Pre-activation of freezing nucleation was examined in laboratory experiments with mercuric iodide suspensions in water. The experiments followed the procedure designed by Edwards, Evans and Zipper (1970) but employed multiple sample drops and many repetitions of the pre-activation cycle. The results obtained confirm the basic findings of the earlier work and refine it. By also drawing on the results of Seeley and Seidler (2001), pre-activated freezing nucleation (PFN in this work) is analyzed in search of constraints that help define the process responsible for it. No firm conclusions are reached, but evidence is accumulated pointing to the role of definite structures being involved in PFN, similar to the role of sites in heterogeneous freezing nucleation in general. PFN differs from pore condensation and freezing described by Marcolli (2020) and David et al. (2020) in that it takes place in liquid water. Further exploration of this process can help understading ice nucleation at the basic level and in its practical manifestations. The results call attention to an ice nucleation pathway hitherto barely explored and which can be expected to have consequences in how ice nucleation occurs in atmospheric clouds and in other systems.
Assessing impacts of selective logging on water, energy, and carbon budgets and ecosystem dynamics in Amazon forests using the Functionally Assembled Terrestrial Ecosystem Simulator
Authors: Huang Maoyi , Xu Yi , Longo Marcos , Keller Michael , Knox Ryan G. , Koven Charles D. , Fisher Rosie A.
Published: October 2020

Abstract. Tropical forest degradation from logging, fire, and fragmentation not only
alters carbon stocks and carbon fluxes, but also impacts physical
land surface properties such as albedo and roughness length. Such impacts
are poorly quantified to date due to difficulties in accessing and
maintaining observational infrastructures, as well as the lack of proper modeling
tools for capturing the interactions among biophysical properties, ecosystem
demography, canopy structure, and biogeochemical cycling in tropical
forests. As a first step to address these limitations, we implemented a
selective logging module into the Functionally Assembled Terrestrial
Ecosystem Simulator (FATES) by mimicking the ecological, biophysical, and
biogeochemical processes following a logging event. The model can specify
the timing and aerial extent of logging events, splitting the logged forest
patch into disturbed and intact patches; determine the survivorship of
cohorts in the disturbed patch; and modifying the biomass and necromass
(total mass of coarse woody debris and litter) pools following logging. We
parameterized the logging module to reproduce a selective logging experiment
at the Tapajós National Forest in Brazil and benchmarked model outputs
against available field measurements. Our results suggest that the model
permits the coexistence of early and late successional functional types and
realistically characterizes the seasonality of water and carbon fluxes and
stocks, the forest structure and composition, and the ecosystem succession
following disturbance. However, the current version of FATES overestimates
water stress in the dry season and therefore fails to capture seasonal variation
in latent and sensible heat fluxes. Moreover, we observed a bias towards low
stem density and leaf area when compared to observations, suggesting that
improvements are needed in both carbon allocation and establishment of
trees. The effects of logging were assessed by different logging scenarios
to represent reduced impact and conventional logging practices, both with
high and low logging intensities. The model simulations suggest that in
comparison to old-growth forests the logged forests rapidly recover water
and energy fluxes in 1 to 3 years. In contrast, the recovery times for
carbon stocks, forest structure, and composition are more than 30 years
depending on logging practices and intensity. This study lays the foundation
to simulate land use change and forest degradation in FATES, which will be
an effective tool to directly represent forest management practices and
regeneration in the context of Earth system models.
The effects of topography and soil properties on radiocesium concentrations in forest soils in Fukushima, Japan
Authors: Yasumiishi Misa , Nishimura Taku , Aldstadt Jared , Bennett Sean J. , Bittner Thomas
Published: October 2020

Abstract. This research collected forest soil samples from Fukushima, Japan, where the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident contaminated the land. The purpose of this study was to examine how the local topography influenced the radiocesium (Cs-137) accumulation patterns in soils over the years since the accident. As an analytical method, the general additive model (GAM) was used to determine at what percentages the topographic parameters explain Cs-137 contamination levels down to a depth of 30 cm. For comparison, topographic parameters were extracted from both 1 m and 10 m digital evaluation models (DEMs). The effects of topography were compared with the effects of the soil water content and dry soil bulk density. An additional Tukey’s honestly significant difference (HSD) test was conducted to determine the significance of the hillslope aspect and vegetation cover differences on concentration predictions. The results showed that, at this study site, topographic parameters extracted from the 10 m DEM better predicted Cs-137 levels. The models with a single topographic parameter did not explain Cs-137 levels higher than 30 %. However, combining the parameters improved the explanation percentages. The relative influences of topographic parameters and soil properties were similar throughout the soil depth, showing their subsurface co-functionalities for Cs-137 concentration levels. Tukey’s HSD test results showed the inter-effects of topography and vegetation cover differences. The results of this study indicate that the selection of topographic parameters, as well as the chosen methods of their extractions, have implications for physical models assessing radionuclide contamination levels.
Introducing LAB60: A 1∕60° NEMO 3.6 numerical simulation of the Labrador Sea
Authors: Pennelly Clark , Myers Paul G.
Published: October 2020

Abstract. A high-resolution coupled ocean–sea ice model is set up within the Labrador Sea. With a horizontal resolution of 1∕60∘, this simulation is
capable of resolving the multitude of eddies that transport heat and freshwater into the interior of the Labrador Sea. These fluxes strongly govern
the overall stratification, deep convection, restratification, and production of Labrador Sea Water. Our regional configuration spans the full North
Atlantic and Arctic; however, high resolution is only applied in smaller nested domains within the North Atlantic and Labrador Sea. Using nesting
reduces computational costs and allows for a long simulation from 2002 to the near present. Three passive tracers are also included: Greenland
runoff, Labrador Sea Water produced during convection, and Irminger Water that enters the Labrador Sea along Greenland. We describe the
configuration setup and compare it against similarly forced lower-resolution simulations to better describe how horizontal resolution impacts the
representation of the Labrador Sea in the model.
The Limits of the Ethnographic Turn
Authors: Ranganathan Bharat
Published: October 2020

This article reflects on the ethnographic turn in recent comparative religious ethics (CRE). Comparative religious ethicists should be lauded because they privilege engagement with non-Western intellectual sources. Such engagement is important since it undermines the erroneous view that non-Western sources are either soft or are part of someone else's commitments and therefore irrelevant. Yet some recent comparative work stops at merely describing these non-Western sources, moving ethics away from its normative tasks. If CRE is to remain relevant to broader conversations in moral and political theory, comparative religious ethicists should perform two tasks: they should evaluate the object under consideration and illustrate how thinking about it may contribute to broader thinking about common moral and political problems.
Management of Covid-19 in the outpatient setting
Authors: Hago Weymin , Amen Meulan
Published: October 2020

Introduction: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a novel virus that is responsible for the current infection known as coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19). SARS-CoV-2 was first discovered on December 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, and led the World Health Organization (WHO) to declare it a public health emergency on January 30, 2020. By reviewing the pathophysiology of SARS-CoV-2 we can better understand the patient’s symptoms in conjunction with imaging findings seen in moderate illness Covid-19 patients. In these case studies we demonstrate the benefit of using acetazolamide for patients with moderate illness.

Case Series: We present two cases of Covid-19 patients exhibiting moderate illness. Both patients received antibiotics in the first two weeks of illness with improvement of dry cough and fever; however, they subsequently developed shortness of breath. The imaging findings of both patients revealed infiltrates of the lower lobes. The patients were treated with acetazolamide leading to clinical improvement.

Conclusion: Moderate illness Covid-19 patients who present with pulmonary edema can benefit from the use of acetazolamide from the effects of diuresis and changes in pH.
Populismo y política de clivajes: Propuesta de análisis en tiempos de crisis
Authors: Riveros F. Claudio , Selamé Nicolás
Published: October 2020

En el último tiempo el concepto de populismo ha cobrado relevancia en la discusión académica. Esto, tanto por su empleo para catalogar a diversas emergencias políticas que remecen los sistemas de partidos, como por el debate que suscita la definición del término mismo. Con miras a una comprensión que no sólo desentrañe el fenómeno, sino que atienda también a sus condiciones de posibilidad, este artículo propone un diálogo entre la teoría de clivajes y el enfoque procesual del fenómeno populista. De esta forma, se plantea una suerte de imbricación analítica entre ambas teorías: mientras se dotaría a la teoría populista procesual de un marco comprensivo mayor capaz de compararse con otros tipos de articulaciones políticas, la teoría de clivajes se beneficiaría de la comprensión amplia de los procesos de rupturas y crisis hegemónicas.
Populismo y desafíos de la representación política en las democracias contemporáneas
Authors: Heiss Claudia
Published: October 2020

El artículo ofrece un análisis crítico del concepto de representación política y su relación con el fenómeno del populismo. Se argumenta que la desafección con la representación obedece a la incapacidad de las democracias representativas de cumplir su promesa de inclusión y progresiva democratización social por medio de las instituciones. Se discute la promesa incumplida de la democracia representativa de materializar los ideales democráticos de autogobierno y soberanía popular. Luego, se describen distintas formas de entender el fenómeno del populismo. Por último, se concluye que la crisis de la representación política tiene una directa relación con el surgimiento de gobiernos populistas, producto de la incapacidad del sistema de democracia representativa de dar cabida a su promesa de inclusión, subordinando clivajes políticos tradicionales como la división izquierda-derecha a la dicotomía pueblo-élite.
Raising nursing student awareness of how it feels to have dementia with the use of 360º video
Authors: Newman Kristine , Kahlon Parmeet K. , Li Shujie
Published: October 2020

Objective: This paper aims to look at raising nursing student awareness of how it feels to have dementia through the use of 360-degree video. We were particularly interested in raising awareness amongst nursing students perceptions of the behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia to promote holistic care provision guided by an empathetic understanding of how it feels to have dementia.Methods: We used a mixed methods approach to investigate nursing students’ awareness of how it feels to have dementia through the use of the 360-degree videos originally developed for a creative new media arts-exhibit at Toronto Rehabilitation Institute for raising dementia awareness. Data were collected quantitatively and qualitatively with thematic and content analyses. A focus group was conducted to explore participants’ awareness of how it feels to have dementia by viewing the 360-degree video, empathy towards people with dementia, and knowledge of dementia.Results: The 360-degree video is an arts-based knowledge-translation strategy that was used to raise nursing students’ awareness on behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia. While the majority of the participants had some levels of awareness and understanding of dementia prior to the viewing of 360-degree video, they were nonetheless challenged by the content of the 360-degree video that led to new perspectives on dementia.Conclusions: The three themes identified in the thematic analysis of the focus group are understanding dementia from a new perspective, embodiment of dementia experience, and self-reflection and practice changes. These themes reflect the usefulness of 360-degree video as an arts-based knowledge translation strategy in raising dementia awareness in nursing students.

COVID-19 infection has continued to pose a very serious health threat to mankind globally despite all efforts geared toward curbing its spread. More worrisome recently is the report from different parts of the world on the re-infection of those treated and recovered with COVID -19 patients thus making containment of the virus even more difficult. Of more worrisome is the fact that the lung, a vital human organ is a major site being attacked by the virus even on re-infection cases. If quick action is not taken early enough, it may lead to the outright death of the patient. A lung infection, (Pneumonia) caused by COVID-19 has been discovered to be having a stunning effect on hospital systems and killing COVID-19 patients silently and it occurs even as the patient is asymptomatic. This paper examines the reasons for re-infection, Lacuna in the reviewed literature with regards to PCR test results, the effect of re-infection on the lungs, and implication for patients’ lung health. The papers summarized and concluded that it’s a fact that re-infection occurs among patients accompanied by mild or severe symptoms having far-reaching implications for the patient’s lung health. The paper recommends that the government at all levels should collaborate with WHO, CDC, and health policymakers to legally mandating, that every recovered patient should stay an additional 2weeks in the hospital for early detection of re-infection in order to avert any invasion and damage to the lungs thus ensuring lung health. Also, proper health education should be availed to the recovered patients to avoid any exposures or habits (different from the index disease) such as smoking that can pose dangers to the already fatigued lungs.

Authors: Silva Jovani Dos Santos da , Cappellari Gabriela , Goularte Jeferson Luís Lopes , Lopes Mygre Machado
Published: October 2020

Objetivo do estudo: O presente estudo objetiva analisar o processo de adaptação estratégica ocorrido no Brasil Free Shop, localizado na cidade de Rivera, Uruguai, na fronteira com a cidade de Santana do Livramento, Rio Grande do Sul, entre os anos de 2010 a 2018.Metodologia: A análise foi realizada a partir da identificação dos períodos estratégicos e eventos críticos, relacionando-os com o modelo de adaptação estratégica de Hrebiniak e Joyce (1985) e com as escolas do pensamento estratégico de Mintzberg, Ahlstrand e Lampel (2000). O percurso metodológico utilizado baseou-se em uma abordagem qualitativa e descritiva. Os dados foram coletados mediante entrevistas semiestruturadas com gestores da organização. A técnica utilizada para análise e interpretação dos dados foi a análise longitudinal contextualista, conforme fundamentos da direct research e das escolas do pensamento estratégico.Principais resultados: Os resultados revelaram três períodos de adaptação estratégica – de 2010 a 2013, marcado pela origem do negócio; de 2014 a 2017, definido pela expansão organizacional; e a partir de 2018, caracterizado pela recessão. Em todas as fases, a empresa realizou a gestão estratégica considerando a influência de elementos externos, especialmente a flutuação da taxa de câmbio. Dessa forma, as estratégias adotadas pela organização baseiam-se principalmente nas escolas do design, empreendedora e ambiental.Contribuições teóricas/metodológicas: Este estudo evidencia a validade do modelo proposto por Hrebiniak e Joyce (1985), que prevê o voluntarismo e o determinismo ambiental como dimensões independentes.

Published: October 2020

Objetivo: Entender o papel do relacionamento entre franqueadores e franqueados e licenciados no processo de internacionalização, adotando como perspectiva teórica o modelo de Uppsala.Metodologia/abordagem: A metodologia utilizada foi de estudo de casos em três empresas franqueadoras internacionalizadas. Posteriormente, as informações foram comparadas com os modelos de Uppsala (1977, 2009), usando como suporte as literaturas de franquia e licenciamento.Originalidade /Relevância: Diversos artigos (Dant Grünhagen, 2014; Gomes, Carneiro e Secches, 2017; Isaac, Melo, Ogasavara e Rodrigues, 2018) apontaram que a temática relacional, especialmente no contexto internacional, é uma das áreas que requer mais estudos. O trabalho pretende ajudar a preencher essa lacuna com informações sob parcerias internacionais no licenciamento e sistema de franquia.Principais Resultados: Identificou-se que tais empresas utilizam seus conhecimentos e suas redes para expandir seus negócios e, frequentemente, absorver informações de parceiros locais para melhorar o conhecimento de mercado e adaptar seus produtos ou serviços. A expansão internacional das empresas franqueadoras estudadas pode ser explicada tanto pelo Modelo de Uppsala original (1977) quanto pelo Modelo de Uppsala revisitado (2009).Contribuições teóricas / metodológicas: O estudo visa contribuir do ponto de vista teórico ao aplicar o Modelo de Uppsala nas expansões internacionais por meio de modos contratuais, mostrando a importância da rede de relacionamento. Tanto o sistema de franquia quanto o licenciamento são utilizados para expansões de baixo custo, por isso a entrada na rede local é imprescindível. Com a expansão gradual e o uso de parcerias sólidas, nota-se que as empresas conseguem validar a estrutura de negócio e fazer adequações, especialmente culturais, ao seu modelo de negócio.
O processo de incorporação de estratégias emergentes por sistemas de controle de gestão: evidências a partir de um estudo de caso com BSC
Authors: Melo Luiz Gustavo Vaz de , Bernardes Maria Elisa Brandão
Published: October 2020

Objetivo do estudo:  O estudo teve como objetivo descrever um processo de incorporação de estratégias emergentes por uma organização que utiliza um Sistema de Controle de Gestão (SCG), baseado no Balanced Scorecard (BSC).Metodologia/abordagem: Abordagem processual, por meio da qual o fenômeno foi examinado como uma sequência de eventos ao longo do tempo, nos quais a participação de indivíduos de diferentes níveis e posições foi considerada. O método empregado foi o estudo de caso, que privilegia levantamentos qualitativos, tais como a interação entre o SCG e as estratégias deliberadas ou emergentes.Originalidade/relevância:   Ampliou o conhecimento do processo de implementação através do uso de SCG, baseado no BSC, por meio do qual, apesar do rígido controle, uma nova estratégia emergiu e foi incorporada à estratégia deliberada. Raros são os estudos que, abordando as duas frentes teóricas (estratégia emergente e controle de gestão), oferecem uma descrição detalhada do processo que as integra.Principais resultados: Os resultados evidenciaram que o uso do BSC, como SCG, viabiliza a comunicação e o desdobramento de objetivos estratégicos alinhados e priorizados, o monitoramento da implementação através de revisões e é compatível com o desenvolvimento de uma estratégia emergente. Também explicaram que a emergência ocorreu de maneira lenta e incremental. Além disso, sua integração só foi possível graças aos movimentos contínuos e progressivos de constrições internas, oriundas da base da organização, e externas, advindas de diversos atores do mercado.Contribuições teóricas/metodológicas:  Contribuiu para elucidar o processo de implementação de estratégias através do uso de um SCG baseado no BSC, com suas limitações, e também a dinâmica da evolução de uma estratégia emergente, desde o seu surgimento até a sua incorporação no plano, relevando a participação de diferentes stakeholders no processo.

Published: October 2020

Background: Zoledronic acid (ZA) is widely used in the management of cancer-related bone events. It, however, might be associated with serious adverse effects. Objectives: To evaluate ZA adverse effects and changes in biochemical parameters related to ZA toxicities among patients with cancer. Methods: Ninety-eight oncology patients, who were prescribed ZA intravenous (IV) infusion, were interviewed to assess whether they experienced ZA related symptoms, including acute events and serious adverse effects. ZA’s effects on the serum levels of different biochemical parameters were retrospectively assessed by checking patients’ electronic medical records. Results: The most commonly reported adverse effects were: myalgia (48%), bone pain (36.7%), influenza-like symptoms (34.7%), headache (31.6%), and pyrexia (22.45%) with decreasing frequency of such adverse effects upon repeated infusions. Serious side effects including jaw osteonecrosis, cardiac, and renal problems were not reported. A small, but statistically significant reduction in serum calcium, creatinine, and total protein levels was observed upon comparing levels before and after the first IV infusion of ZA (P ≤ 0.031). No significant change was recorded with other serum electrolytes including phosphorus, sodium, potassium, and magnesium as well as urea levels (P ≥ 0.271). No significant difference was determined in terms of final serum levels of all parameters in comparison to pre-treatment (P ≥ 0.059), except for potassium, where a significant reduction was observed (P = 0.003). Notably, the mean values of all parameters were within the normal range. Conclusions: ZA acute events resolved with symptomatic treatment and reduced with repeated IV infusions. ZA appears as a safe treatment modality for skeletal-related events among patients with cancer and the reported adverse effects should not affect patients’ compliance.
