Biological screening and assessment of certain substituted monoazo heterocycles containing sulphur and / or nitrogen and their seleno like moieties
Authors: Khalifa Mohamed E. , Gobouri Adel A.
Published: December 2017

The monoazo substituted five membered heterocycles, along with their seleno like moieties are still of interest in organic chemistry due to their medicinal and valuable applications. In continuation of our interest in the study of heterocyclic azo compounds containing sulphur and / or nitrogen heteroatoms, the synthesis of 5-aryl mono azo-thiazol-2-ylcarbamoyl-thiophene along with their seleno like derivatives of pyridine, pyridazine and quinolone, were accomplished. All the synthesized compounds were in vitro screening of their antioxidant activity, antitumor activity against Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cell EACC cell line and antimicrobial activity against various pathogenic microorganisms, such as Gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium) and fungi strains of Aspergillus flavus and Candida albicans. The structural–activity relationship was studied based on the obtained data.

The Influence of Educational Expansion on Partnership Stability: A Cohort Study of First Partnerships in Switzerland
Authors: Kessler Dorian
Published: December 2017

This study examines the association between educational attainment and separation risks in marital or non-marital first partnerships to query the extent to which educational expansion has affected trends in partnership stability. Because the educational gradient in separation changed from being positive for women (and, to a lesser extent, for men) to being statistically non-significant at the same time as educational expansion took place, the latter can only serve as a minor explanation of the exceptional rise in breakup rates in Switzerland.
Educational Homogamy and Inter-Couple Income Inequality: Linking Demographic and Socio-Economic Consequences of Educational Expansion in Germany and Switzerland
Authors: Wise Ramsey , Zangger Christoph
Published: December 2017

How is educational expansion associated with increased educational homogamy and income inequality? Using SOEP and SHP panel data, we randomly match couples and compare the resulting income distribution to the observed one. Educational homogamy thereby has had only a marginal impact on earnings-based income inequality between couples, which is largely due to the endogenous decision-making of couples concerning working time.
Accounting practitioners perception over the impact of IFRS implementation on the performance of entities in the construction sector from the western region of Romania
Authors: Bogdan Oana , Mateş Dorel , Domil Aura Emanuela , Puşcaş Marina Adriana , Puşcaş Ancuţa , Teşu Ramona
Published: December 2017

Through this paper, we want to identify the correlations between the benefits and costs of adopting IFRS standards in construction entities in the Western Region of Romania and their performance, using the Pearson correlation coefficient, which measures and describes the direction, degree and form of the association between two variables, thus obtaining high, reasonable, weak and very weak links between the benefits / costs and the performance of the entity.

The tool used in the research undertaken by construction companies is the questionnaire.

The questionnaire “On the Costs and Benefits of IFRS in Construction Companies in the Western Region of Romania” was disseminated among professional accountants in order to identify the perceptions of economists operating in construction companies in the Western Region Romania on the costs and benefits of implementing international standards. Thus, through this paper we aim to identify the correlations between the following benefits and costs:

- Benefits of implementation: comparability of information, increased transparency, increased access to capital, cost savings, reduction of informational asymmetry,

- Implementation costs: IFRS readiness level, complexity of standards, link between accounting and taxation, existing accounting tradition, costs associated with IFRS conversion, and

- Performance of the entity viewed from the perspective of: total revenue and turnover. In the research, we chose to present the analysis of compared to both the total revenues and the turnover, because the difference between the two economic-fiscal indicators is mainly represented by the financial revenues and the incomes from the disposals of assets.
Numerical Simulation of Terminal Shock Oscillation in Over/Under Turbine-Based Combined-Cycle Inlet
Authors: Liu Jun , Yuan Huacheng , Yao Meng , Ge Ning
Published: December 2017

The physical characteristics of self-sustain shock oscillation and the key factors that affect the shock oscillation in turbine-based combined-cycle(TBCC) inlet were investigated through unsteady numerical simulation method in this paper. The terminal shock oscillation in the throat was caused by the separation bubble appeared in the lower wall of the turbojet flowpath. The angle of the splitter and the offset of the diffuser were the main factors which affect the characteristics of the shock oscillation. When the angle of the splitter increased from 0 deg to 12 deg, the frequency of terminal shock increased from 100Hz to 133Hz; while when it was greater than 18 deg the terminal shock oscillation phenomenon disappeared. Different offset of the turbojet diffuser affect the motion of terminal shock in the inlet. When the y-coordinate value of the control point (ym) in the turbojet diffuser was smaller than 1.5, the shock oscillated in the inlet; when ym was greater than 2.0, the shock oscillation disappeared. The bleed in the diffuser was able to control the oscillation of the terminal shock.
Task performance changes the amplitude and timing of the BOLD signal

Published: December 2017

Translational studies comparing imaging data of animals and humans have gained increasing scientific interests. With this upcoming translational approach, however, identifying harmonized statistical analysis as well as shared data acquisition protocols and/or combined statistical approaches is necessary. Following this idea, we applied Bayesian Adaptive Regression Splines (BARS), which have until now mainly been used to model neural responses of electrophysiological recordings from rodent data, on human hemodynamic responses as measured via fMRI. Forty-seven healthy subjects were investigated while performing the Attention Network Task in the MRI scanner. Fluctuations in the amplitude and timing of the BOLD response were determined and validated externally with brain activation using GLM and also ecologically with the influence of task performance (i.e. good vs. bad performers). In terms of brain activation, bad performers presented reduced activation bilaterally in the parietal lobules, right prefrontal cortex (PFC) and striatum. This was accompanied by an enhanced left PFC recruitment. With regard to the amplitude of the BOLD-signal, bad performers showed enhanced values in the left PFC. In addition, in the regions of reduced activation such as the parietal and striatal regions, the temporal dynamics were higher in bad performers. Based on the relation between BOLD response and neural firing with the amplitude of the BOLD signal reflecting gamma power and timing dynamics beta power, we argue that in bad performers, an enhanced left PFC recruitment hints towards an enhanced functioning of gamma-band activity in a compensatory manner. This was accompanied by reduced parieto-striatal activity, associated with increased and potentially conflicting beta-band activity.

Delisle-Houde, P, Reid, RER, Insogna, JA, Chiarlitti, NA, and Andersen, RE. Seasonal changes in physiological responses and body composition during a competitive season in male and female elite collegiate ice hockey players. J Strength Cond Res 33(8): 2162–2169, 2019—Ice hockey continually overloads athletes with limited time for recovery, which may affect several physiological responses and alter body composition. The purpose of this study was to identify changes in physiological parameters and body composition profiles over the competitive season in elite collegiate ice hockey players. Forty-four players, 24 males (age = 22.7 ± 1.3 years, height = 1.82 ± 0.6 m, and body mass = 86.87 ± 6.44 kg) and 20 females (age = 19.9 ± 1.8 years, height = 1.66 ± 0.7 m, and body mass = 68.76 ± 5.91 kg) participated in 4-minute submaximal exercise tests and body composition assessments at pre-season, mid-season, and end-season. Changes in physiological parameters and body composition were analyzed using repeated-measures analysis of covariance controlling for age. Males' postexercise blood lactate concentration decreased (p ≤ 0.05) from pre- to mid-season (9.3 vs. 6.2 mmol·L−1) and increased (p ≤ 0.05) from mid- to end-season (6.2 vs. 8.0 mmol·L−1). Heart rate increased (p ≤ 0.05) after the third and fourth minute of the submaximal test in both sexes from pre- to end-season and from mid- to end-season. Males' body fat percentage decreased (p ≤ 0.05) from mid-season (17.4 vs. 16.1%), whereas increases were observed (p ≤ 0.05) in both sexes from mid- to end-season. This study produced evidence that male and female collegiate hockey athletes' physiological responses and body composition profiles change over the season. Sport scientists working with collegiate hockey teams, may need to revise annual training programs to attenuate reductions in fitness and hopefully prevent injuries.

Romancing the Interstitial
Authors: Liming Sheila
Published: December 2017

Sheila Liming, “Romancing the Interstitial: Howe, Balzac, and Nineteenth-Century Legacies of Sexual Indeterminacy” (pp. 311–337)

This essay links Julia Ward Howe’s infamous “lost” text, The Hermphrodite (first published in 2004), with Honoré de Balzac’s Sarrasine (1830), arguing that Howe rewrites Balzac’s figure of the “tragic hermaphrodite” with the intention of protesting nineteenth-century American assumptions regarding innate sexual difference. The Hermaphrodite tells the story of Laurence, a deeply contemplative, intelligent person whose sexual identity is disputed, but Howe never employs the term “hermaphrodite” outright. This situation encourages readers to judge Laurence’s hermaphroditism by his behavior and actions in the novel, not his biology, and this is furthermore consistent with the way the term “hermaphrodite” was used and understood by mid-nineteenth-century Americans. As such, this essay examines the claims that Howe makes about the social machinery of gender in The Hermaphrodite, arguing that while Laurence has much in common with Balzac’s Sarrasine, Howe uses her protagonist as a means of revising outdated arguments about biological “truth.” Howe’s Laurence revisits and updates nineteenth-century considerations of the aesthetic androgyne in the service of a modern, political agenda concerning sexual demarcation and difference.
All That Is Solid Turns into Steam
Authors: Spillman Deborah Shapple
Published: December 2017

Deborah Shapple Spillman, “All That Is Solid Turns into Steam: Sublimation and Sympathy in George Eliot’s The Mill on the Floss” (pp. 338–373)

This essay argues that steam and its gaseous properties in George Eliot’s The Mill on the Floss (1861) represent capital’s increasing abstraction in the nineteenth century that threatened to disrupt economic and affective relations between people, property, and places associated with the past while nevertheless introducing new modes of circulation and more diffusive opportunities for sympathetic connection. The novel’s return to an earlier stage in the development of capital places the 1830s of the story in dialogue with the 1860s of its narration, while inviting readers to compare the values of this earlier period to those of their own. Considering this comparative structure in relation to nineteenth-century ethnography and its interlocutors—including Auguste Comte, Ludwig Feuerbach, and Karl Marx—I read Edward Tulliver’s primitive materialism and the Dodson sisters’ fetishism as both humorous reactions and more earnest forms of resistance to this increasing abstraction. Eliot ultimately turns toward the figurative possibilities of sublimation as a way to bridge the concrete and the abstract, the particular and the general, will and affect, self and other. Sublimation—not liquidation—therefore serves as the more apt metaphor for sympathy in the novel.

Published: December 2017

Nadgrobna stela Likeja (Liccaeus), sina Vejova, centuriona liburne Lucusta, izložena je u lapidariju u Osoru (Apsorus) na otoku Cresu (Crexi). Bila je objavljena više puta, ali ni jedna od tih objava nije uzela u obzir sve raspoložive podatke o mjestu njezina nalaska. Likej i njegov nasljednik Dabal (Dabalus), sin Tritov, nisu pripadali starosjedilačkom stanovništvu otoka, već su mogli potjecati s delmatskog područja. Unatoč tomu, Likej je morao biti istaknuta osoba u Apsoru jer mu je bilo dodijeljeno javno zemljište za njegov pogreb. Njegov je nadgrobni spomenik pronađen u Osoru, a ne u Punti Križa, selu udaljenom kojih 15 km južno od Osora.

Ranobizantska tvrđava Σίκλαι zabilježena je kod povjesničara Prokopija u njegovim Građevinama, točnije u popisu koji se odnosi na Makedoniju iz četvrte knjige. Prokopijeva grafija toponima potvrđuje iščezavanje nenaglašenog vokala u penultimi kao jednu od najznačajnijih karakteristika u fonetici vulgarnolatinskog jezika. Osim promatranja morfoloških specifičnosti, cilj članka usmjeren je k detaljnijem ispitivanju porijekla imena mjesta. U tom smislu postoje dva podjednako moguća rješenja pitanja etimologije. Prema jednom u osnovi ovog toponima nalazi se apelativ sicla/sikla, vulgarnolatinska varijanta imenice situla sa značenjem ‘kofa, vjedro, krčag’. Druga, ne manje vjerojatna mogućnost je da se toponim dovede u vezu s imenom ilirskog plemena Siculi /Siculotae (Σικελοί).
Tko je izgradio veliki suhozid na istoku Bukovice?
Authors: Vrkić Šime
Published: December 2017

U radu se predstavlja otkriće velikog suhozida čiji se ostatci nalaze na području selâ Ervenik, Mokro Polje i Radučić u Bukovici. Ostatci suhozida uočeni su pregledom zračnih i satelitskih snimaka, nakon kojih su provedeni ograničeni terenski pregledi kojima je do sada potvrđeno njegovo postojanje u dužini od 9 km. Po svemu sudeći, suhozid je bio dug oko 14 km te se kontinuirano protezao od padina jugoistočnog Velebita na desnoj strani rijeke Zrmanje do kanjona rijeke Krke. Suhozid je većim dijelom izgrađen na istočnim padinama raznih uzvišenja, što upućuje na njegov vojno-obrambeni karakter. Autor iznosi pretpostavku da je veliki suhozid izgrađen u 1. st. pr. Kr., s ciljem nadzora liburnskog graničnog područja i sprječavanja mogućih pljačkaških ili osvajačkih pohoda pripadnika delmatskog saveza na područje Bukovice i Ravnih Kotara.

40 YEARS OF IGF1: IGF system in sarcomas: a crucial pathway with many unknowns to exploit for therapy
Authors: Mancarella Caterina , Scotlandi Katia
Published: December 2017

The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system has gained substantial interest due to its involvement in regulating cell proliferation, differentiation and survival during anoikis and after conventional and targeted therapies. However, results from clinical trials have been largely disappointing, with only a few but notable exceptions, such as trials targeting sarcomas, especially Ewing sarcoma. This review highlights key studies focusing on IGF signaling in sarcomas, specifically studies underscoring the properties that make this system an attractive therapeutic target and identifies new relationships that may be exploited. This review discusses the potential roles of IGF2 mRNA-binding proteins (IGF2BPs), discoidin domain receptors (DDRs) and metalloproteinase pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) in regulating the IGF system. Deeper investigation of these novel regulators of the IGF system may help us to further elucidate the spatial and temporal control of the IGF axis, as understanding the control of this axis is essential for future clinical studies.
El "triunfo" de la administración directa en el abastecimiento estratégico de jarcia y lona a la Real Armada española en el arsenal de Cartagena en 1751
Authors: Díaz Ordoñez Manuel
Published: December 2017

Durante el siglo XVIII, la Corona española fue, progresivamente, sustituyendo los contratos con particulares con la administración directa. Medidas que fueron especialmente intensas en los sectores estratégicos de sus intereses. Proceso que ha sido objeto de un importante interés por parte de la literatura especializada. No obstante, el ramo de los transformados del cáñamo para la construcción naval (jarcia y lona), no han tenido esta misma atención. Nos centraremos aquí en desarrollar la puesta en marcha de las fábricas reales de jarcia y lona en el arsenal de Marina de Cartagena, a partir de 1751. La logística de los insumos y la maquinaria necesaria, el capital humano preciso (técnicos y obreros), la financiación y las infraestructuras industriales serán los puntos principales a desarrollar.
La evolución del vestuario militar y la aparición de los primeros uniformes (1660-1680)
Authors: Rodríguez Hernández Antonio José
Published: December 2017

En este trabajo se analiza la evolución del vestuario militar dentro del ejército español profundizando en una particular coyuntura temporal. Unos años esenciales en los que se fraguó el paso del tradicional vestido de munición –barato y de mala calidad–, a un uniforme propiamente dicho. Un vestuario más avanzado y caro que hacía que todos los hombres de una misma unidad vistieran de una manera idéntica. La generalización de esta clase de vestuario necesitó de una gestión avanzada, ya que todos los reclutas debían ir perfectamente equipados, cubriéndose la producción en múltiples lugares, a precios y calidades muy diferentes. Cuestión que podemos analizar gracias a la excelente información de primera mano que ha quedado en diferentes archivos.

THE APPLICATION OF LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT TO EVALUATE WATER QUALITY CONDITION AROUND FISH CAGES IN CIRATA RESERVOIR, INDONESIA
Authors: Prihadi Tri Heru , Saputra Adang , Taufik Imam , Ardi Idil
Published: December 2017

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is an analytical tool used primarily for evaluating environmental conditions. The sources of decomposed organic matters in Cirata Reservoir originate from industrial activities, household waste, agricultural waste, and effluent from floating fish net cages. The wastes consist mainly of fat, protein, and carbohydrate. Bacteria are responsible for aerobic decomposition process of organic matters in the sediment. As bacteria consume oxygen during the decomposition processes, significant depletion of dissolved oxygen level in the waters may occur. This happens in Cirata Reservoir where a low level of oxygen in the water leads to anaerobic decomposition processes at the bottom of the reservoir. The porpuse of this study was to evaluate Cirata Reservoir water conditions, in terms of water quality, organic sediment and organic materials level based on the application of LCA. In this study, water and sediment samples were collected. Water quality conditions were measured in-situ. Water and sediment samples were analyzed in the laboratories. The results of the analyses showed that water quality condition in all sampling stations was relatively homogeneous. Based on the level of decomposition of organic matter, water quality conditions in Cirata reservoir could be classified as Class I, II, and III in IKA_STORET scale and categorized as poor. DO, sulfide, phenol, BOD, COD, total phosphate were outside the ranges of acceptable water quality standards.
Fabrication and Magnetic Properties of Sintered SrFe\(_{12}\)O\(_{19}\)-NiFe\(_{2}\)O\(_{4}\) Nanocomposites
Authors: Nga Tran Thi Viet , Loan To Thanh
Published: December 2017

Two series of SrFe\(_{12}\)O\(_{19}\)/NiFe\(_{2}\)O\(_{4}\) nanocomposite ferrites sintered in air at 850\rc{}C and 950\rc{}C were prepared using SrFe$_{12}$O$_{19}$ and NiFe\(_{2}\)O\(_{4}\) nanopowders obtained via sol-gel method. The phase composition, surface morphology and magnetic properties of the composites were investigated using XRD, SEM and VSM respectively. For the SrFe$_{12}$O$_{19}$/NiFe$_{2}$O$_{4}$ ferrites with volume ratio ranging from 61 to 21 and sintered in 850\(\r{}\)C for 5 hours in air, all the specimens are composed of two phases but exhibit a typical single-phase magnetic behavior, indicating the existence of exchange coupling (EC) between the magnetically hard and soft phases. The value of coercivity H\(_{c}\) decreases from 6.19 kOe to 0.574 kOe when volume of SrFe$_{12}$O$_{19}$ decreases from 6 to 1. While the samples with a mass ratio of \(R_{m}\)= SrFe\(_{12}\)O\(_{19}\)/ NiFe\(_{2}\)O\(_{4}\) varying from 31 to 13 sintered in 950\rc{}C for 5 hours characterized with a ``bee waist'' type hysteresis loop. These results reveal that the magnetically hard and soft magnetic phases are not exchange- coupled. The saturation magnetization (\(M_{S}\)) increases from 36 emu/g to 43.3 emu/g when \(R_{m}\) decreases from 31 to 13 and then decreases with \(R_{m}= 12\) and 13.

Published: December 2017

Considerando a relevância em problematizar os lugares da Sociologia na atmosfera do Ensino Médio Integrado à Educação Profissional, o artigo em evidência destaca as potencialidades formativas dos conhecimentos sociológicos em seus encadeamentos com as disciplinas técnicas nessa etapa da Educação Básica. Problematiza-se a dualidade histórica da educação brasileira quanto à separação do Ensino Médio de formação geral daquele voltado à preparação para o mercado de trabalho. Discute-se, nessa direção, a contribuição da Sociologia no processo de diálogo entre os saberes das Ciências Sociais e aqueles inerentes aos núcleos tecnológicos, objetivando a discussão em torno da especificidade dessa disciplina diante das particularidades dos processos formativos nos domínios da escola de nível médio atrelada à Educação Profissional e Tecnológica. Este estudo ampara-se em pesquisas bibliográficas e nas experiências didáticas dos autores em exercício da docência na disciplina Sociologia no Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Rio Grande do Norte (IFRN). Como considerações, aponta-se para a concretização da indissociabilidade entre formação geral e técnica, acentuando a percepção de que a Sociologia pode se apresentar como um elo entre as problemáticas de natureza técnica e a discussão cientificamente qualificada sobre estas, tendo em vista sua capacidade em propiciar o entendimento dos vínculos daquilo que se vivencia na realidade imediata e pessoal e o mundo social mais amplo. Destaca, ainda, que seu arcabouço teórico-conceitual pode se traduzir em imaginação sociológica capaz de interpretar e questionar os dilemas de uma sociedade em que a técnica e a instrumentalização dos processos produtivos constituem pilares estruturantes do capitalismo econômico-cognitivo do mundo contemporâneo.Palavras-chave: Ensino de Sociologia; Ensino Médio; Educação Profissional.

Reconstructing the human contribution: reliably integrating human factors in investigations
Authors: Dekker Sidney
Published: December 2017

This paper explores and explains ways to reconstruct reliably human actions and assessments that were part of a failure sequence. It aims to help resist the production of a subjective story from the personal perspective of the investigator. Collating scholarship from the social sciences, psychology, human factors and cognitive systems engineering, it lays out steps to reduce investigative biases and enhance the verifiability of a forensic investigator’s conclusions. This may help investigators build and integrate a better description of any human contribution to a failure sequence in their analysis. The ultimate aim of reliably reconstructing human actions and assessments without producing a subjective story from the personal perspective of the investigator could well remain elusive, of course. But steps can be taken to reduce biases and enhance verifiability of conclusions.

A iniciação científica (IC) consiste na oportunidade, via universidade, dos estudantes expandirem seus conhecimentos. Na Universidade Federal do Pampa (Unipampa) o Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação Científica para alunos do Ensino Médio (PIBIC/EM) foi implementado em 2014 e ainda não há indicadores do desempenho do programa e dos bolsistas de IC do ensino médio ("IC júnior"). Desta forma, o objetivo deste trabalho é relatar, sob as perspectivas de cinco estudantes do ensino médio bolsistas CNPq PIBIC-EM atuantes na área de neurofisiologia, suas expectativas, experiências e os impactos da IC júnior em suas vidas. Para avaliar a participação dos alunos de IC júnior foi realizada, após o período de 1 ano de envolvimento no programa, uma entrevista semiestruturada. Os alunos demonstraram-se muito interessados e participativos durante o período de envolvimento no programa, e diante de seus relatos consideramos que esta foi uma experiência que impactou positivamente a vida dos alunos de IC júnior.

Durante o curso de odontologia, a bioquímica é considerada de menor prioridade pela maioria dos estudantes, pois supõem que ela terá um papel pequeno nas suas práticas dentárias posteriormente.  Instilar o devido valor de aprender bioquímica entre os alunos e fazê-los participar de aulas de bioquímica é uma tarefa desafiadora entre os professores. Esta pesquisa foi conduzida para observar se o interesse dos estudantes em aprender bioquímica pode ser aprimorado se novas tecnologias, como vídeos animados, forem usadas. O método tradicional de ensino com retroprojetor, também foi realizado para fins de comparação dos resultados. O ciclo de ureia foi selecionado como o tópico bioquímico para esta pesquisa. O resultado foi bastante encorajador entre os estudantes, pois eles verificaram que a bioquímica tornara-se  uma disciplina mais interessante do que antes.
Agressividade tributária e sustentabilidade empresarial no Brasil
Authors: Martinez Antonio Lopo , Ramalho Vinicius Pereira
Published: December 2017

A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo observar se a participação de empresas no Índice de Sustentabilidade Empresarial (ISE), listadas na BM&FBovespa, define alguma espécie de comportamento no tocante à agressividade tributária. As empresas listadas, ou não, no ISE foram avaliadas no período de 2010 a 2014 por meio de duas medidas de agressividade tributária: a taxa efetiva de tributação ETR (Effective tax Rate) e a diferença entre os Lucros Contábeis e o Tributário (Book Tax Differences - BTD). Por hipóteses, especulava-se que as empresas listadas no índice seriam menos agressivas tributariamente, com o propósito de sinalizar um comportamento coerente com uma preocupação social. Entretanto, não foi encontrada uma teoria racional para justificar essa relação antecipada e, na verdade, sustentabilidade empresarial, em certa medida, poderia inclusive, estar relacionada com um planejamento tributário mais eficiente. A agressividade fiscal envolve o emprego de técnicas que privilegiam o planejamento tributário com vistas a reduzir a tributação explicita. Em certas circunstâncias empregam-se técnicas legais (elisão) e outras ilegais, seja por sua abusividade na forma ou mesmo por ter caráter evasivo com vistas a reduzir a carga tributária. Os resultados documentados na pesquisa indicaram que as empresas que compõem o ISE tendem a ser menos agressivas tributariamente relativamente àquelas que não participam do ISE. Esse achado serve para antecipar o comportamento tributário de uma empresa em função dos valores que prestigia.

O estudo objetivou verificar as características de tamanho, independência e expertise dos comitês de auditoria das empresas listadas na BM&FBovespa nos anos de 2010 a 2013. Dentre as 407 empresas listadas na bolsa de valores, apenas 68 delas possuem comitê de auditoria devidamente formado em algum período analisado. O ano de 2013 apresentava 59 empresas com comitê de auditoria, o maior número encontrado, o que representa apenas 14,50% da população. Os principais resultados mostraram que em relação ao tamanho a maior parte obedece aos preceitos das práticas recomendadas, ou seja, possuem três membros participantes do comitê de auditoria. Contudo, as empresas apresentam práticas heterogêneas nessa característica. Existem tanto aquelas com apenas um ou dois membros como outras que possuem mais de seis membros. Em 2013 existiam 192 membros dos comitês de 59 empresas. Desses, 48 são engenheiros, 45 economistas, 41 administradores, 26 contadores e um auditor. De modo geral, conclui-se que a criação do comitê de auditoria ainda não é uma prática institucionalizada pelas empresas brasileiras e que se manifesta de formas distintas entre as organizações.
Preço de transferência e seus impactos contábeis e fiscais dentro de uma empresa de filtros automobilísticos na importação e exportação de mercadorias
Authors: Giacomelli Josiane Gattis Correa , Aguiar Heloisa de
Published: December 2017

A legislação brasileira exige lançamentos contábeis específicos, quando o assunto é Preço de Transferência. Essas regras existentes foram criadas para evitar que as empresas brasileiras com subsidiárias no exterior possam utilizar a estratégia de evasão de divisas, já que sem ordenamento jurídico adequado os preços poderiam ser subavaliados para que não houvesse o devido pagamento dos tributos, na transferência de produtos ao exterior. O objetivo deste estudo consiste em verificar os impactos contábeis e fiscais no uso do preço de transferência na importação e exportação de mercadorias, para uma empresa do ramo automobilístico. Para tanto, utilizou-se a pesquisa aplicada, por meio da coleta de dados documentais e entrevista não estruturada. Considerando as penalidades legais quando a legislação não é aplicada corretamente, apresentou-se o seguinte problema de pesquisa: Quais os impactos contábeis e fiscais, quando aplicados as formas de cálculo adequadas ao preço de transferência? Os resultados obtidos para o cálculo da importação para o produto P603 mostraram que o método PRL Revenda, por obter o menor ajuste comparado ao método PIC no ano de 2014, foi o mais adequado a ser utilizado no cálculo do preço de transferência. No momento da exportação o método CAP foi o mais adequado contábil e fiscalmente, para os produtos F175F13 e R161F042, por ser o único método possível para calcular o preço de transferência para a empresa estudada. Como conclusão da pesquisa, verificou-se que a utilização dos métodos recomendados pela legislação fiscal vigente no Brasil poderiam contribuir para a qualidade da informação contábil e, ao mesmo tempo, resultariam num aumento da base de cálculo dos tributos incidentes sobre a receita.

No estudo, avaliou-se a autossuficiência das atividades operacionais do Serviço Federal de Processamento de Dados (Serpro) na geração de caixa, de modo a permitir sua continuidade como empresa estatal independente ante o controlador. Para tanto, por meio de pesquisa de natureza qualitativa, do tipo descritiva e documental, analisou-se o comportamento dos fluxos de caixa das atividades operacionais, de investimento e de financiamento, em conjunto com as demonstrações contábeis, de 2005 a 2016. Observaram-se: decréscimo no saldo de caixa a partir de 2005, com recorrente insuficiência das atividades operacionais face ao consumo de caixa; recomposição do caixa mediante atividade de financiamento com constantes aportes de capital do ente controlador; indícios de pagamento de despesas correntes e dividendos com aporte de capital; recebimento financeiro em 2012 e 2014, sem perda da condição de independente, descumprindo normativos legais. A partir dos procedimentos adotados, constatou-se que, no período analisado, o Serpro encontrou-se em condições de não aderência às características e aos requisitos de estatal independente. Os resultados do estudo apresentam implicações práticas à medida que discute e propõe aspectos quanto ao planejamento e à execução das auditorias públicas voltadas à análise das condições de dependência das empresas estatais independentes sustentadas a partir das informações contábeis.

Ixodes tick-borne borreliosis caused by Borrelia miyamotoi (ITBB-BM) is a previously unknown infectious disease discovered in Russia. Aim. The present study continues the investigation of the clinical features of ITBB-BM in the context of an immune system-pathogen interaction. Subjects and methods. The study enrolled 117 patients with ITBB-BM and a comparison group of 71 patients with Lyme disease (LD) that is ITBB with erythema migrans. All the patients were treated at the New Hospital, Yekateringburg. More than 100 clinical, epidemiological and laboratory parameters were obtained from each patient’s medical history and included in the general database. A subset of patients hospitalized in 2015 and 2016 underwent additional laboratory examinations. Namely, the levels of B. miyamotoi-specific IgM and IgG antibodies were measured by the protein microarray containing GlpQ protein and four variable major proteins (VMPs): Vlp15/16, Vlp18, Vsp1, and Vlp5. The blood concentration of Borrelia was estimated by quantitative real-time PCR. Results. In contrast to LD, first of all (p

Aim. To estimate the detection rate and spectrum of primary drug resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MBT) in patients with tuberculosis (TB) in relation to their human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) status in a region with high HIV infection rates (the Perm Territory) and to compare of drug-resistant MBT (DR-MBT) in patients with HIV/TB co-infection, by using phenotypic and molecular genetic testing (MGT) methods. Subjects and methods. The results of sputum bacteriological examination were analyzed in 178 HIV-infected patients and 354 non-HIV-infected individuals with a TB diagnosis made in the period July 1, 2014 to August 1, 2015. The diagnostic algorithm for all patients involved a duplicate sputum test for MBT by two techniques: fluorescence microscopy (FM) and inoculation into the Levenstein-Jensen dense culture medium. In patients with HIV/TB, the bacteriological examination was complemented with two more methods: detection of MBT DNA by a real-time polymerase chain reaction assay using the AmpliTube-RV system (Synthol, Russia); and inoculation into the Middlebrook liquid nutrient medium, by applying the automated BACTEC MGIT 960 system. Results. In patients with HIV/TB, the sensitivity of FM proved to be lower than in those with TB (24.2 and 32.8%, respectively; p0.05). The primary drug resistance of MBT in patients with HIV-TB was higher than that in HIV-negative individuals (60.2 and 41.6%, respectively; p

The Role of Individual Values in Acculturation Expectations of the Host Populationl
Authors: Lepshokova Z.K. , Vilegjanina M.S.
Published: December 2017

The article is devoted to studying the role of individual values of host population members in relation to their acculturation expectations. The methods of the study include the Schwartz value questionnaire (PVQ-R) and the acculturation expectations scales from the international scientific project MIRIPS (Mutual Intercultural Relations in Plural Societies) questionnaire. This study aimed to test the assumption that individual values of host population members are related to their acculturation expectations. The study involved ethnic Russians living in Russia, Moscow (N=200, M age=23.5 year) as the members of the host population. The results of path analysis in AMOS program showed that values of Conservation and Self- Enhancement are positively related to Segregation. Values of Self-Transcendence are positively related to Integration (Multiculturalism) and are negatively related to Assimilation (Melting Pot). In contrast, values of Self-Enhancement are positively related to Assimilation (Melting Pot) and negatively — to Integration (Multiculturalism).
Semantic Structure and Communicative Sufficiency of Monologue of Mentally Retarded Children in Different Communicative Situations
Authors: Dolgikh L.Y.
Published: December 2017

The article presents the results of semantic analysis of 120 monologues produced by children with mild mental retardation. The author describes the interrelation between such semantic characteristics as seman tic structure and communicative sufficiency and communicative situation. It was found that at the end of primary school mentally retarded children in most cases are able to accept and accomplish a speech task demanding to produce a text, but half of children’s texts are insufficient for communication. If the communicative significance of speech situation is reinforced, most mentally retarded pupils can be encouraged to produce more detailed and comprehensive texts with a more complex semantic structure. Thus, the hypothesis was confirmed that by varying the communicative situation it is possible to detect such conditions in which semantic characteristics of mentally retarded children’s texts improve due to the involvement of motivational mechanisms.
Adolescent Concepts of Responsibility in Different Types of Moral Dilemmas
Authors: Molchanov S.V. , Almazova O.V.
Published: December 2017

The paper presents results of an empirical study of adolescents' concepts of responsibility in different types of moral dilemmas characterized by violations of moral norms. The study proved that the type of moral dilemma and the context of interaction of its participants determine the adolescents' readiness to recognize the responsibility of the main character of the dilemma for violating the norm. In dilemmas of asocial type adolescents are more willing to recognize the responsibility of the offender whose behavior leads to obvious damage for one of the participants in the interaction. As for prosocial dilemmas and dilemmas of confronting norms, adolescents tend to deny the responsibility of the offender. The paper provides a comparative analysis of empirically identified types of adolescent concepts of responsibility, including the differentiated responsibility with egoistic orientation, high responsibility, low responsibility and ‘polar’ responsibility. The authors highlight the ambiguity of the relationship between adolescents’ evaluation of behavior, their readiness to recognize responsibility in moral transgression, and their judgment about the necessity of punishment. The paper concludes with the discussion concerning the relationship between the level of development of moral judgments/moral reasoning and the concepts of responsibility in adolescents.
