Unboxing SERVQUAL: SQuID Inside!
Authors:   Department of Accounting, Widya Mandala Surabaya Catholic University, Indonesia, Tambunan Tigor
Published: September 2023

Maps based on bibliographic data of 50 of 264 keywords in 111 papers show that service quality, SERVQUAL, and customer satisfaction are the most popular topics in service management research. The discussion about costs are relatively minimal and is not directly related to SERVQUAL but to service quality and customer satisfaction. This empirical evidence is interesting, given that cost is an intrinsic element of service quality that is much more measurable and controllable in practice. The logical relationship between price, cost, activity, and service quality was studied to find the possibility of placing the cost aspect into the original model of SERVQUAL. A mixed methods study combining preliminary theoretical evaluation and empirical research findings is used to develop the model of ServQual. This study succeeded in presenting gaps 6 and 7 inside a framework called the Service Quality Improvement Driver (SQuID). SQuID clarifies the significant relationship between service quality, cost, and price on SERVQUAL. This framework can help companies analyze and develop traceable service quality comprehensively and improve service quality effectively, even on an ongoing basis. Further research in the geographical context shows that the SQuID framework can be a practical solution for Asian businesses that are already quite familiar with SERVQUAL. Cultural-based service quality in the dimensions of tangible and empathy need special consideration when implementing the SQuID framework in several business sectors in Asia

Over the past two years, the Covid 19 pandemic was the greatest communicable outbreak that has upended almost every aspect of our lives. Despite this, the progress in realizing sustainable development remains as a challenge in the global perspective and yet it should be eliminated. The world is facing a pragmatic threat of climate change which potentially damage the Earth’s ecosystems. There is a need for all relevant parties to cooperatively care for the environment in decreasing the environmental degradation and climate change in achieving sustainability to leave no one left behind. Our study highlights the perception of the firm at firm-level that can link environmental sustainability practices and firm performance, especifically in the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Hence, in this study, we will examine how corporate sustainability orientation influences firm performance, and how corporate sustainability orientation influences firm performance through environmental practices with the use of the Natural Resource-based View (NRBV) theory and Stakeholder theory. This study uses a judgmental sampling method with a set of criteria to have an accurate result for the study. A total of 219 responses were collected and this study uses a Partial Least Squares – Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach in data analysis. From the analysis, both corporate sustainability orientation and environmental practices were found significant, while the relationship between corporate sustainability orientation and firm performance was found significant through the indirect effect. For future studies, this study suggests researcher to explore corporate sustainability orientation in the perspective of firm-level and individual-level to have a comparison in terms of perception towards sustainability practices and how it impacts the firm performance.

Quiet quitting has emerged as an area of concern for businesses and societies in the wake of the ‘Great Resignation’ following COVID-19. While there is an emerging body of work surrounding the motivations of quiet quitting as a rejection of being enslaved to one’s work, little is known as to the implications of this phenomenon on Asian businesses. This viewpoint provides an overview of the literature to date and explores the steps Asian businesses should take to address potential quiet quitting proclivities among the existing and future workforce. In particular, businesses need to consider how COVID-19 has changed the landscape of work and generated psychological stresses among employees working from home, who have had to deal with their professional and private lives concurrently (Liu 2023). To combat quiet quitting in this new era, it is imperative to rethink work cultures, with an emphasis on facilitating greater autonomy in how work is performed (where applicable) and accordingly re-evaluating employment contracts.

Published: September 2023

ABSTRAKLatar belakang: Kejadian malnutrisi masih menjadi masalah di rumah sakit di Indonesia. Sebanyak 20-50% pasien mengalami malnutrisi di rumah sakit sehingga meningkatkan angka morbiditas dan mortalitas, meningkatkan resiko komplikasi penyakit, memperpanjang terapi medis dan masa rawat inap sebanyak 1,6 kali. Kejadian malnutrisi di rumah sakit dapat diminimalisir apabila proses skrining gizi pasien baru dilakukan secara efektif. RSUD Cideres Kabupaten Majalengka menggunakan Malnutrition Screening Tool (MST) sebagai instrument skrining gizi. Namun penggunaan MST memiliki keterbatasan dalam mengkuantifikasikan penurunan berat badan . Simple Nutrition Screening Tool (SNST) merupakan instrumen skrining gizi yang dikembangkan menurut populasi Indonesia. Oleh karena itu instrumen SNST dapat menjadi solusi alternatif dalam mengatasi kelemahan MST.Tujuan: membandingkan persepsi perawat dalam penggunaan MST dan SNST sebagai instrument skrining gizi di RSUD Cideres Kabupaten Majalengka.Metode: Metode penelitian yang digunakan yaitu metode kualitatif dengan desain penelitian deskriptif. Data penelitian diperoleh melalui wawancara mendalam, kemudian dilakukan triangulasi metode dan referensi wawancara mendalam difokuskan pada pada bagaimana pemahaman, cara pandang, atau penafsiran narasumber tentang aspek kemudahan penggunaan kedua instrumen tersebut.Hasil: sebanyak lima narasumber menyatakan MST lebih unggul dibandingkan dengan SNST. Berdasarkan durasi, pelaksanaan skrining gizi dengan MST lebih singkat dibanding SNST. Lima narasumber menyatakan instrument MST lebih mudah dipelajari daripada SNST. Instrumen MST berdasarkan kebutuhan lebih sesuai jika dibandingkan SNST karena lebih sederhana sehingga lebih efisien. Sebagian narasumber menyatakan bahwa pertanyaan yang terdapat pada MST lebih tepat untuk digunakan karena lebih mudah dipahami dan di sampaikan kepada pasien.Simpulan: Penggunaan MST sebagai instrument skrining gizi lebih disukai dibandingkan dengan SNST.
Verifying the chronology of Ukrainian Neolithic

Published: September 2023

This paper addresses the earliest Neolithic phases in Ukraine: aspects relating to the chronology, methods and time of Neolithisation. In general, the earliest Neolithisation relates to the times of the Linear Pottery culture. Nevertheless, Ukraine has numerous eco-zones so the process could have been different in other zones. The authors emphasize that the key to getting closer to solving this problem is the chronology-re-dating and validation program. Hitherto dates of one culture or period of culture have been treated against each other. This article presents a small series of AMS from well-defined contexts of four sites, previously dated by the Kyiv radiocarbon facility. The results are compared with existing dates in order to establish the validity of existing chronologies for the Neolithic of Ukraine. Obtained results allowed the authors to conclude that the Kyiv dates should not be obligatorily treated as wrong. Furthermore, the authors reopened the discussion to establish what was the role of LBK and Azov-Dnieper culture communities in spreading farming and herding in Ukraine during the second half of the VIth millennium BC.
Spanish loan verbs in Paraguayan Guaraní: coexistence, replacement, or both?
Authors: Bittar Josefina
Published: September 2023

Contact linguists have proposed that core borrowing can indicate language attrition – as the loan replaces its native-origin counterpart – while cultural borrowing expands the lexicon (Campbell, Lyle. 2013.Historical linguistics: An introduction, 3rd edn. Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press; Muysken, Pieter. 2000.Bilingual speech: A typology of code-mixing. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press). However, Tadmor and Haspelmath (Tadmor, Uri & Martin Haspelmath. 2009.Loanwords in the world’s languages: A comparative handbook. Berlin: De Gruyter) found that in core borrowing cases, coexistence of the foreign and the native forms is more common than replacement. In this paper, I explore coexistence and replacement scenarios of Spanish-origin core loan verbs and their native-origin counterparts in Paraguayan Guaraní. These loans have been previously described as instances of code-switching (Estigarribia, Bruno. 2017. Insertion and backflagging as mixing strategies underlying Guaraní-Spanish mixed words. In Bruno Estigarribia & Justin Pinta (eds.),Guaraní linguistics in the 21st century, 315–347. Leiden: Brill; Kallfell, Guido. 2016.¿Cómo hablan los paraguayos con dos lenguas?: gramática del jopara. Asunción: CEADUC). Tokens of highly frequent native-origin verbs along with their broadly equivalent Spanish-origin loans were extracted from 40 interviews and were correlated with the senses of each verb. Results show that some Spanish verb loans replace its native-origin counterpart to convey only one of its senses, while the native-origin form remains the preferred form to convey the other senses. This specialized use also suggests that these semantically specialized Spanish verb loans are not code-switches but rather integrated lexical items in Guaraní.
A usage-based account of paragogic /e/ in 20th century New Mexican Spanish
Authors: Lease Sarah
Published: September 2023

This study tests if New Mexican Spanish speakers’ productions of words that variably display paragogic /e/ (rincón ∼ rincon

e

‘corner’) are predictable from their lexical frequency, utterance position, and the frequency with which these words occur in an utterance position that conditions paragoge. In the study, the variable that measures the frequency with which words occur in the conditioning context is referred to as the FCC. The analysis of 77 word types and 2,235 tokens produced by 24 speakers demonstrates that the likelihood that a speaker produces paragogic /e/ increases when words are produced at the end of an utterance. The study also finds novel evidence for the mediating effect of lexical frequency on the effect of the FCC variable: the influence of the frequency with which words are produced in utterance-final position on the likelihood of paragogic /e/ is strengthened as lexical frequency decreases. Together with research on reductive phonological processes (e.g., Forrest, John. 2017. The dynamic interaction between lexical and contextual frequency: A case study of (ING). Language Variation and Change 29(2). 129–156), it seems that the effect of the FCC variable is amplified by lexical frequencies that already harbor the phonological process. These novel findings invite scholars to reconsider the assumption that such effects require many exemplars to shape lexical representation and speech production.
Effects of Geometry and Forms of Recycled Plastics on Strength Properties of Silty Soils
Authors: Tabassum Tanzila , Bheemasetti Tejo V.
Published: September 2023

Although significant efforts are being made to evaluate the use of recycled materials in the construction industry, the effects of their shapes and sizes on the mechanical behavior of plastic-treated materials remained unclear. This paper presents results and analysis of recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastics with variations in their shapes, sizes, dosage content (1 %, 2 %, 4 %, 8 %, and 12 % by dry weight soil), and cement content (9 %, 12 %, and 15 % by dry weight of soil) to enhance the strength-deformation characteristics of high-plastic silts. A series of experimental studies were performed to evaluate the unconfined compressive strength, stress–strain behavior, energy absorption capacity, and strength retention of the soils treated with recycled HDPE flakes and long pellets. Test results showed that the inclusion of 4 % regrind flakes plastics with 9 % cement content increased the soil strength up to 193 % more than the control soil. Results also showed that the ductility index of the samples with 15 % cement increased from 6 to 7.5 as the regrind flakes content were increased from 4 % to 12 %. The optimal dosage content of recycled plastics and cement content is presented based on the compressive strength, energy absorption capacity, percent strength retention, soil loss, and volumetric strains of the treated soils. This research highlights the importance of the geometry of the recycled plastics and their influence on strength-deformation characteristics with application to pavement subgrade soil stabilization.
Compression Behavior of Municipal Solid Waste in Temperature-Controlled Isotropic Condition

Published: September 2023

The mechanical response of municipal solid waste (MSW) under different types of loading and testing conditions has been explored by many researchers. However, the effect of temperature on MSW compressibility has yet to be investigated. Temperature enhancement is well-known in landfill engineering, mainly when the bioreactor philosophy is employed. The generated heat gradients affect the solid particles and fluid phases. As a result, the mechanical response of MSW will be different compared with the most recent research results. Only a few investigations have been conducted on the impact of temperature on MSW’s mechanical response. This research shows how temperature enhancement impacts the compression behavior of MSW specimens with different compositions. A large-scale temperature-controlled triaxial device capable of imposing temperatures up to 85°C has been used. It is shown that, with increasing temperature, the compressive strains for MSW increase. However, the waste composition, mainly the MSW plastic content, also affects these strains. The temperature enhancements increase the mechanical creep and immediate compression indexes but decrease the samples’ elastic rebound and swelling index. Furthermore, the paper analyzes how pore water pressure affects the effective stress in such varying temperature conditions considering the waste particles’ compressibility. The achieved values show that the pore water pressure effect on effective stress is reduced up to 75 % because of the particles’ compressibility. The permeability of samples was examined based on the isotropic compression results. The results confirmed that MSW’s permeability depends on the plastic content, applied confining stress, and temperature. Increasing the temperature level showed a reduction in the permeability of samples. However, this difference was not paramount.

Published: September 2023

Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have changed considerably the management of type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, recently published data from retrospective cohort studies suggest that chronic exposure to GLP-1RAs in T2D may increase the risk of papillary and medullary thyroid cancer. In this perspective, the role of the incretin system in thyroid carcinogenesis has been reviewed and critically commented on, aiming to understand if the time has arrived to be concerned about the risk. Although evidence suggested, speculative hypotheses should be verified, and further studies are urgently needed to clarify the issue.

The average student learning outcomes using Edmodo is 77.64, which is higher than the average student learning outcomes using Google Meet at 67.72. Based on the results of the average N-Gain calculation, the gain value is 0.61. This shows that the effectiveness of using the Edmodo platform is in the medium category. This study measures student learning outcomes in the cognitive domain using the Edmodo platform, so it is hoped that who will conduct researcher further research on the use of the Edmodo platform in the affective domain or in other educational units.
Defining and Promoting Pediatric Pulmonary Health: Leveraging Patient Reported Outcomes
Authors: Rosas-Salazar Christian , Bacharier Leonard , Buckley Lisa H. , Amaral Sandra , Sirota Susan , Moore Paul E.
Published: September 2023

Patient-reported outcomes are based on patient (or caregiver) descriptions without direct measurement by a health care provider. To capture patient-reported outcomes, various patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) have been created. Using PROMs has been linked to improved patient satisfaction, patient-provider communication, and clinical outcomes in many pediatric fields. Despite a long-standing history of utilizing PROMs for the evaluation and management of childhood asthma, pediatric pulmonologists lag behind other pediatric subspecialists in the use of PROMs.

During the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute’s “Defining and Promoting Pediatric Pulmonary Health” workshop, critical knowledge gaps and research opportunities in the use of PROMs for childhood respiratory health were reviewed. In particular, PROMs can be employed as screening tools in the general population for the primary or secondary prevention of pediatric lung diseases. Incorporating these PROMs into the pediatric primary care setting would be especially impactful. In addition, the use of PROMs for the evaluation and management of asthma suggests that they can be applied to other childhood respiratory diseases. Ongoing multicenter studies or national consortia that study pediatric lung diseases could be leveraged to conduct research designed to develop, validate, and assess the utility of PROMs to assess childhood respiratory health. Harnessing the electronic health record will be critical for the successful adoption of PROMs in children with lung diseases. Ultimately, an integrative approach to systematically address numerous barriers at the level of the provider, patient, and health care system will be needed to attain this goal and achieve sustainability.

RESUMO Neste artigo descrevo o processo de tradução da canção Zumbi, composta e gravada por Jorge Ben Jor em 1974 e regravada por Ellen Oléria em 2013, para a língua brasileira de sinais (Libras). O pano de fundo social e intersubjetivo para essa tradução é a minha relação, como homem afro-indígena, com a minha própria ancestralidade e, como tradutor e intérprete de língua de sinais, com a falta de acesso da comunidade surda, por questões educacionais e linguísticas, à cultura afrobrasileira e, por questões sensoriais e culturais, às músicas populares brasileiras massivas. Essa dupla dimensão identitária se imbrica na possibilidade de publicizar manifestações antirracistas e de defesa de pautas étnico-raciais no Dia da Consciência Negra em plataformas de amplo acesso como as das redes sociais. A tradução comentada aqui apresentada fundamentase, teoricamente, na concepção bakhtiniana de linguagem, que entende que qualquer semiose é atravessada, constituída e sustentada na alteridade e nas dimensões social, histórica e ideológica, o conceito camposiano de transcriação, que assume que a complexidade de um texto amplia as possibilidades transcriativas do tradutor e o conceito de intermodalidade presente nos Estudos da Tradução e da Interpretação da Língua de Sinais (ETILS), que observa a impossibilidade de cisão entre texto e corpo em línguas de modalidade gesto-visual. Descrevo o processo de tradução da canção apontando para os elementos linguísticos e narrativos da canção e da versão em Libras evidenciando as referências visuais que sustentaram as escolhas linguístico-discursivas no texto-alvo.

Abstract Objectives: to analyze the nutritional status and temporal trend of the coverage of Brazilian adolescents monitored in the Food and Nutritional Surveillance System in the period 2008-2019. Methods: ecological study of temporal series with SISVAN data collected from 2008 to 2019 with 45,869.266 registration. Body mass index data were collected and the registration coverage of adolescents monitored by the system was calculated. The percentage of annual variation in coverage and nutritional status was estimated using Prais-Winsten regression, with a significance level of 5%. Results: an increase in the prevalence of obesity was observed between 2008 and 2019, during this period thinness remained stable in Brazil. National coverage evolved from 9.3% in 2008 to 19.6% in 2019, with an annual variation of 9% and a statistically significant increase trend. In Brazil, obesity in this age group increased between 2008 and 2019, with an annual variation of 8.7% (CI95% = 7.8-9.6). Conclusion: modifications were observed in nutritional status suggest the occurrence of nutritional transition in the adolescents’ population. The percentage of coverage available in the system has growth potential, however, the current scenario impacts on a possible insufficient analysis to support the elaboration and reorientation of public policies.
Índice de governança corporativa e desempenho de mercado: evidências no mercado acionário brasileiro
Authors: Ribeiro João Eduardo , Souza Antônio Artur de
Published: September 2023

RESUMO Este estudo teve por objetivo construir um índice de governança corporativa para empresas brasileiras com ações negociadas pela Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão (B3) para avaliar o efeito das melhores práticas de governança em seu desempenho de mercado, entre os anos de 2010 e 2020. Apesar dos diferentes índices de governança criados para as empresas brasileiras, grande parte dos estudos empíricos empregaram proxies a partir dos Níveis Diferenciados de Governança Corporativa (NDGC) da B3. Esse cenário se deve, principalmente, à dificuldade de coleta de dados e operacionalização desses índices. Este artigo propõe um índice de governança corporativa de simples operacionalização e, logo, mais acessível quando comparado aos demais índices documentados pela literatura. A criação de um índice eficaz na avaliação da qualidade da governança corporativa das empresas brasileiras é imprescindível, dado que a influência que a governança exerce nas decisões financeiras dessas empresas é maior em países com fraca proteção legal aos investidores, como o Brasil. Os investidores compreendem que as empresas bem governadas são menos arriscadas e têm, portanto, maiores chances de recuperar seus investimentos. Assim, o índice proposto se destaca como um importante instrumento de avaliação financeira. O índice de governança proposto foi amparado em estudos anteriores que indicam os mecanismos mais eficientes na redução dos problemas de agência. Como medidas de desempenho de mercado, empregou-se o Q de Tobin e o Valor da Firma. Por fim, a análise foi realizada via modelos dos mínimos quadrados ordinários (MQO), dados em painel e modelos de regressão por meio da abordagem de variáveis instrumentais. O índice proposto se mostrou uma boa medida de governança, dado os resultados unânimes entre os modelos. Em todas as estimações, a relação entre governança corporativa e o desempenho de mercado foi positiva, atestando a confiança do mercado associada à qualidade da governança corporativa expressa pelo índice.

Published: September 2023

Resumo Conhecer a produção científica que vem sendo elaborada ao longo dos anos possibilita que a comunidade científica esteja ciente sobre quais áreas têm apresentado uma maior consolidação e quais áreas precisam de um maior investimento. É nessa perspectiva que as redes de coautoria podem contribuir, diagnosticando o cenário, permitindo a identificação dos coletivos de pensamento, bem como os autores que vêm sendo responsáveis pela difusão do conhecimento. Tendo em vista a relevância do BOLEMA para as pesquisas em Educação Matemática em âmbito nacional e internacional, este artigo traz uma pesquisa de cunho qualitativo, bibliográfico e exploratório referente às áreas e aos autores das produções de artigos aprovados de 1985 até 2021, sendo um total de 1159 artigos publicados, de forma a contribuir na identificação dos prováveis coletivos de pensamento e os principais autores neste cenário de difusão do conhecimento. Como resultado, é apresentada a rede de coautoria do BOLEMA e espera-se que este trabalho possa contribuir com a comunidade científica para facilitar novas conexões entre autores que publicam estudos semelhantes, dessa forma fortalecendo a produção científica, além de subsidiar aos demais pesquisadores o conhecimento sobre autores e seus temas de pesquisa, fomentando assim o surgimento de novas parcerias de coautoria e o aumento dos círculos de difusão do conhecimento.
Adaptação Transcultural do SATS-36 para Estudantes do 3º Ciclo do Ensino Básico Português

Published: September 2023

Resumo A atitude dos estudantes em relação à Estatística é um tema amplamente investigado a nível do ensino universitário, mas escasso em estudantes do 3º ciclo do ensino básico (idade esperada: 12-15 anos). Neste trabalho, foi efetuada uma adaptação transcultural, do inglês para o português (europeu) e para estudantes daquele ciclo de escolaridade, da escala de atitudes em relação à Estatística SATS-36© (Survey of Attitudes Toward Statistics, versão Post). Com base numa amostra de 215 estudantes de escolas da região centro de Portugal, foram demonstradas propriedades psicométricas e validade do tipo consistência interna da escala adaptada. Contudo, aplicando análise fatorial confirmatória (AFC), a estrutura de seis fatores sugeridos para a SATS-36© não foi ajustada aos dados. Conduzindo uma análise fatorial exploratória (AFE), é proposto e validado um modelo com os quatro fatores: Afetação , Interesse , Valor e Esforço . O modelo proposto pode ser comparado em número de fatores (quatro) com o modelo publicado para estudantes do mesmo nível de ensino na Estónia. No entanto, o modelo proposto apresenta melhores resultados nos índices de ajustamento da AFC considerados. Os itens não incluídos da SATS-36© em ambos os modelos se devem à sua não adequação a estudantes do ensino pré-universitário. A adaptação e validação deste instrumento será profícua na gestão de estratégias de atuação no ensino da Estatística. Espera-se que a monitorização das atitudes dos estudantes por parte do professor permita uma melhoria na sua aprendizagem em Estatística.

Published: September 2023

Resumo Este artigo traz resultados de uma pesquisa de mestrado e objetiva apresentar aproximações entre a Modelagem Matemática (MM) na perspectiva da Educação Matemática Crítica (EMC) e a Educação do Campo evidenciadas durante o desenvolvimento de atividades de MM em uma turma do 3° ano do Ensino Médio de uma Escola do Campo do interior do Paraná. Para isso, foi realizada uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa, a partir do desenvolvimento de duas atividades de MM, conduzidas pelos casos 2 e 3 indicados por Barbosa (2004). Os dados foram coletados remotamente via internet por meio de observação, registrados utilizando ferramentas online e analisados de acordo com a Análise Textual Discursiva de Moraes e Galiazzi (2011). Os resultados apontam que a MM na perspectiva da EMC possibilitou fazer conexões com a Educação do Campo, uma vez que emergiram, por meio do diálogo, discussões democráticas e reflexões críticas a respeito de questões econômicas, ambientais, culturais e sociais, despertando a autonomia durante o desenvolvimento das atividades, cujos temas envolveram situações reais articuladas ao contexto e aos conhecimentos dos alunos.

Published: September 2023

Resumen Actualmente, la inferencia estadística es un tema enseñado en el Bachillerato español y evaluado en los exámenes de acceso a la universidad, pero la preparación didáctica específica no es suficiente para los profesores encargados de la enseñanza del tema. El objetivo del trabajo es evaluar el conocimiento matemático común de este contenido y las facetas epistémica y cognitiva del conocimiento didáctico en una muestra de futuros profesores españoles. Con esta finalidad se les plantea la resolución de una tarea tomada de las pruebas de acceso a la universidad para estudiantes de Bachillerato y se les pide resolverla, identificar los objetos matemáticos requeridos en su solución y los posibles errores de los estudiantes en este proceso. Los resultados muestran un buen conocimiento matemático de los futuros profesores y un inicio de conocimiento en las facetas epistémica y cognitiva. No obstante, su identificación de objetos matemáticos y errores es escasa y prácticamente se restringe al aspecto procedimental. Concluimos la necesidad de reforzar la preparación en la didáctica de la inferencia de los futuros profesores.

Nesse sentido, foi proposto analisar os discursos de um professor de Matemática e de um intérprete de Libras sobre a inclusão, numa perspectiva bakhtiniana. Para tanto, foram considerados excertos de entrevistas feitas na pesquisa de mestrado sobre o que esses sujeitos pensam sobre a inclusão e deles foram construídas análises a partir de conceitos de enunciado, discurso e diálogo de Bakhtin. Os resultados apontam para uma enunciação concreta por parte dos sujeitos em torno dos sentidos que eles possuem sobre a inclusão nas atividades laborais deles, além de que há um dialogismo também com o pesquisador proveniente do gênero discursivo entrevista.

ABSTRACT Purpose To determine the effect of an online Workplace Vocal Health and Low Stress Levels (WVHLS) Promotion Program implemented in a Colombian university during COVID-19 pandemic. Methods This research was a quasi-experimental study. Twenty-nine professors participated in this study within two groups: (1) intervention group (n=17) or (2) non-intervention group (n=12). Participants in the intervention group took part in four virtual sessions about how to improve vocal health and strategies to reduce stress levels during their homeworking and online classes. Teachers filled in a questionnaire including questions about working conditions, work-related stress, and the voice functioning (including the Vocal Fatigue Index-VFI). They also recorded a voice sample of a sustained vowel on two separate occasions (before and after the follow-up). Results At the end of the follow-up, there was a tendency to reduce Factor 1 of VFI in the intervention group. Although, all participants had a longer MPT at the end of the study compared with the baseline measures, males in the intervention group had longer MPT compared with other participants. Conclusion Our results suggest a positive effect of a WVHLS promotion program on reducing vocal fatigue perception measured by means of the Vocal Fatigue Index and improving coordination and control of breathing speech measured MPT. These changes at the end of the follow-up may indicate that holistic programs that include voice care recommendations, breathing exercises, vocal warm-up, cold-down and laryngeal relaxation vocal exercises, and stress management may be beneficial for reducing work-related stress and voice symptoms among professors.

ABSTRACT Purpose To analyze the possible differences among the hearing of farmers and their families when compared to the population not exposed to pesticides. Methods Cross-sectional study with 70 smallholder family farmers (research group), with the mean age of 39.7 years, of both sexes and a mean of 23.7 years of exposure to pesticides. We included a control group with 71 participants of both sexes with the mean age of 39.5 years, not exposed to either noise or chemical substances, to compare the results. In stage 1, both groups were submitted to conventional and high-frequency audiometry, and acoustic immittance. In stage 2, only people with normal hearing were submitted to the evoked otoacoustic emissions and suppression effect on transient otoacoustic emissions. Results Significant differences were observed between the groups in the conventional pure-tone and in the high-frequency audiometry, as well as in the acoustic reflex. The most affected frequencies in the conventional pure-tone audiometry ranged from 3 to 6 kHz and, in the high-frequency audiometry, from 9000 to 11200 Hz. As for the transient otoacoustic emissions, the worse suppression effect results were found in the research group. Conclusion There were differences among the hearing of family farmers and the control group. The conventional auditory thresholds are related to the group, age and sex. Farming is associated with impairments in the basal region of the cochlea, absence of acoustic reflex, reduced signal-to-noise ratio of the transient otoacoustic emissions, and dysfunction in the olivocochlear efferents of the auditory system.

RESUMO Objetivo Comparar as medidas acústicas de Proeminência do Pico Cepstral Suavizado (CPPS) e Acoustic Voice Quality Index (AVQI) nos momentos pré e pós-terapia Vocal. Método Trata-se de estudo de intervenção antes e após, com coleta de dados retrospectiva. Participaram do estudo 22 sujeitos com média de idade de 49,9 anos. A terapia vocal ocorreu entre os anos de 2016 a 2019 em uma clínica-escola, sendo que antes e após os processos terapêuticos, os sujeitos tiveram amostras vocais coletadas. Foram realizadas as extrações dos dados de CPPS e AVQI nos momentos pré e pós-terapia. A fim de caracterizar a amostra, foi realizado julgamento perceptivo-auditivo (JPA) referente ao grau geral do desvio vocal nos momentos pré e pós-terapia. Os dados foram analisados estatisticamente. Resultados Os dados do JPA indicaram diminuição nos valores medianos de grau geral do desvio vocal no momento pós-terapia, tanto para a amostra de vogal (p=0,00) quanto de números (p=0,00). A média do CPPS para a vogal foi de 14,53 pré-terapia e 16,37 pós-terapia (p= 0,01) e na emissão dos números foi de 8,22 pré-terapia e 9,06 pós-terapia (p=0,02), houve diferença no CPPS da vogal e dos números indicando melhora vocal pós-terapia. A média do AVQI foi de 2,27 pré-terapia e 1,54 pós-terapia (p= 0,05), houve melhora nos resultados do AVQI, com valor de p limítrofe. Conclusão A terapia vocal produziu modificações no grau geral do desvio vocal e nas medidas de CPPS e AVQI, sendo que no momento pós terapia os resultados são semelhantes aos apresentados por indivíduos vocalmente saudáveis.

Authors: Fernandes Gisele Aparecida , Wünsch-Filho Victor
Published: September 2023

Resumo Introdução: a incidência do câncer tem aumentado continuamente no mundo, especialmente em países de baixa e média renda. Objetivo: identificar e sintetizar o conhecimento sobre exposição ocupacional e câncer, com ênfase na produção científica brasileira. Métodos: ensaio elaborado com base em revisões realizadas nas bases SciELO e PubMed. Resultados: um estudo recente identificou 47 agentes ocupacionais entre os 120 agentes classificados como definitivamente cancerígenos para humanos pela Agência Internacional de Pesquisa em Câncer. Estudos realizados nas duas últimas décadas indicaram frações de câncer atribuíveis à ocupação, variando de 1,3% no Brasil a 8% na Finlândia, embora os critérios para aferir a exposição nesses estudos possam ser questionados. No Brasil, a produção científica sobre ocupação e câncer é limitada. A Revista Brasileira de Saúde Ocupacional publicou, entre janeiro de 2003 e julho de 2022, seis artigos sobre o tema. Na base PubMed, de 2012 a 2022, foram identificados 14 estudos realizados no Brasil. Conclusão: ampliar pesquisas nesta área realizadas no país é imperativo para obtenção de estimativas mais precisas de trabalhadores expostos a cancerígenos e tumores malignos relacionados, essencial para subsidiar ações de saúde pública e normas sobre limites de exposição ou banimento de agentes, reduzindo o fardo do câncer na sociedade brasileira.
What is Liberalism? A Mixed-Method Study of Ideology and Representation in Latin American Party Systems
Authors: Guedes-Neto João V.
Published: September 2023

Abstract What is the concept of liberalism? Despite being a conceptually contested term, political parties still label themselves liberal and seek legitimacy by joining Liberal International (LI). In this paper, I adopt a mixed-methods strategy to assess what this ideology means in Latin America. First, I rely on economic and political theory to propose four potential components of liberalism: private property, liberal democracy, non-conformism, and social justice. Then, I search for these components in the declaration of principles of all the region’s LI members. Next, I assess liberals’ relative support for these components by comparing the attitudes of their elites and voters to those of conservatives and socialists in Paraguay, Honduras, and Nicaragua. This paper finds that liberal democracy is the only core component of liberalism in Latin America. Even though non-conformism and social justice are widely mentioned in political documents, their support among elites and voters is context-dependent. These results emphasize the contestability of liberalism while shedding light on what unites liberals in Latin America.

The objective of this research was to compare four methodologies of parameters simulation used in the corn potential and depleted yield in Rio Grande do Sul State. Had been used the daily mean air temperature, isolation and rain precipitation of sixteen localities of the Rio Grande do Sul State, as changeable of entrance in the modified model of the agroecological zone considered by De Wit. The data base was formed by 100 simulated values of the variable in each one of the eighth dates proposals (October 1st, October 11th, October 21st, November 1st, November 11th, November 21st, December 1st, December 11th). The data had been through four cases of simulation: (i) average insolation and temperature (normal truncated); (ii) average insolation and temperature (triangular non-symmetrical); (iii) average insolation and temperature (triangular symmetrical) e (IV) insolation (triangular symmetrical). To verify was that: (i) the adaptation of the method (considered for De Wit) of the agroecological zone makes possible to define the order of magnitude of the maize potential and depleted productivities, in Rio Grande do Sul State; (ii) the random procedure process an in agreement variability time of sowing and evaluated place; (iii) the procedure (b) average insolation and temperature (triangular anti-symmetrical) and (d) insolation (triangular symmetrical) does not diverge how much the classification, being that the last one overestimates the values of potential and depleted productivity.
