Fishes community composition and patterns of species distribution in Neotropical streams
Authors: Cavalheiro Laísa Wociechoski , Fialho Clarice Bernhardt
Published: December 2019

Abstract: The ichthyofauna of streams in the Neotropical region is not yet fully known. This study aims to investigate the ichthyofauna composition of six streams of the Ijuí River sub-basin, Rio Grande do Sul State, inserted in the Uruguay River basin, as to contribute to the knowledge of fishes species richness and distribution in the south of Brazil. Sampling was carried out between July 2015 and May 2016, bimonthly, using the technique of electric fishing to collect the fishes. Spatial variations (per sampled stream) in the ichthyofauna composition were tested with a permutational multivariate analysis of variance. In total, we collected 5,029 individuals from 55 species, 13 families and five orders. From these species, 17 are endemic to the Uruguay River basin. Five species alone represented approximately 70% of the ichthyofauna abundance sampled. Our hypothesis that the fish community composition is not homogeneous along the streams sampled was confirmed and we observed that species complexity increases from the upstream closest area to the downstream according to the river continuum concept.

Published: December 2019

Resumo A física é, tipicamente, introduzida aos alunos através da cinemática. Com a popularização da informática, é importante apresentar aos estudantes problemas atuais, que podem ser analisados de maneira lúdica utilizando o computador. Com este objetivo, através de simulações computacionais, estudamos diferentes estratégias para a cinemática de um robô que deve mapear espacialmente uma sala. As eficiências das diferentes estratégias foram comparadas extraindo algumas grandezas das trajetórias, como por exemplo, o “Convex Hull” e a Entropia. Com a comparação destas grandezas é possível tecer discussões com relação ao mapeamento realizado por cada uma delas.
O pensamento de Jacques Maritain e de Emmanuel Mounier no campo católico brasileiro e a educação libertadora de Paulo Freire
Authors: Souza Rogério Luiz de
Published: December 2019

RESUMO O artigo examina a força interventora de uma militância católica brasileira após a Segunda Guerra Mundial, impulsionada por uma matriz intelectual francesa e pelas experiências de vivência nos espaços de vulnerabilidade social. Paulo Freire, alvo específico da análise deste artigo, foi um desses militantes católicos dedicado ao campo educacional. Em sua obra Educação como prática de liberdade, publicada em 1967, Freire aplicou e formulou uma pedagogia da ação inspirada na filosofia política de Jacques Maritain e na filosofia da ação de Emmanuel Mounier, estabelecendo uma relação com a teoria marxista. Para melhor compreender essa movimentação dos atores sociais católicos e, em particular, de Paulo Freire na elaboração de um novo discurso pedagógico e de uma nova ação político-social no Brasil, o artigo mobiliza os conceitos de campo social em Pierre Bourdieu e de genealogia das relações de poder em Michel Foucault.
La mirada perdida: los libros del escritor invidente Gábor Molnár sobre la Región Amazónica
Authors: Szente-Varga Mónika
Published: December 2019

RESUMEN Una de las personas con influencia marcada sobre la imagen de la Amazonia, y en general, de la imagen de Brasil en Hungría en la segunda mitad del siglo XX, fue Gábor Molnár, capataz de una hacienda y miembro de una fallida expedición amateur a Brasil en 1930. Vivió, trabajó, cazó y recolectó especímenes en la Región Amazónica entre 1930 y 1932, hasta perder la vista en una explosión. Con el accidente se perdió un excelente tirador zurdo y nació un escritor apasionado, quien mecanografió sus historias ubicadas en Brasil a ciegas, con tenacidad, a través de varias décadas, convirtiéndose en uno de los autores más leídos en Hungría en los años 1960 y 1970. Este ensayo analiza, dentro del contexto de las relaciones húngaro-brasileñas, los factores que contribuyeron a la popularidad de sus textos.

Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT For climate change scenarios, there is a high degree of complexity, with impacts on the future availability of water resources. In this context, studies related to changes in rainfall time series are essential in order to identify environmental vulnerability. The objective of this study was to analyze trends in the rainfall regime, number of rainy days and temperature for stations located at different continentality and altitude conditions in Northeast Brazil. Meteorological data of the Instituto Nacional de Meteorologia were used, being classified according to the location in relation to the continent: coastal strip (14 stations), strip of 150-300 km up to 300 m altitude (14 stations) and above 300 m (five stations), between 400 and 600 km from the coast up to 300 m (four stations) and above 300 m (eight stations). All the 45 stations used have a historical series with a data period of more than 30 years. The trend of rainfall and rainy days was obtained through the Mann-Kendall and regression analyses, at significance levels of 0.01 and 0.05, respectively. There were trends of reduction in the number of rainy days, in the coastal strip, as well as reduction in rainfall and rainy days, both in the strip of 150-300 km from the coast and in the Sertão region, with no significant effect of continentality in the strip of 400-600 km from the coast. For temperature, except for Maceió, AL, Brazil, there is a trend of increase in near future.

Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT Soil fertility is the key to agricultural production. The spatial correlation and location of nutrients may significantly affect the yields. The objective of this work was to evaluate the variability and spatial correlation of iron (Fe), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), and organic matter (OM) with macadamia nut yield. The study was conducted in an Oxisol cultivated for 20 years with macadamia nut in São Mateus, state of Espírito Santo, Brazil. A 100 point grid was used comprising an area of 144 × 140 m with a minimum distance between points of 5 m, in which a single composite soil sample was collected from 0-0.20 m layer for chemical analysis of Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn and OM. Nuts under the canopy’s projection were harvested from February to June, 2015. The data were evaluated by geostatistical analysis using semivariograms, and kriging was used to map spatial distributions of nutrients and nut yield. All evaluated attributes showed strong or moderate spatial dependence structure. The OM was correlated positively with micronutrients, but only Zn was positively correlated with nut yield. Crossed semivariograms adequately explained the maps of Zn and Mn; and Fe showed opposite tendency for macadamia nut yield.

Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT Model calibration is a fundamental factor to obtain high accuracy in the estimation of crop growth and yield. This study aimed to parameterize the genetic and ecotype coefficients of the DSSAT/Canegro model for five sugarcane cultivars kept under three water managements, besides evaluating the accuracy of the model in predicting sugarcane stalk yield, sugar yield and height. Experimental field data were obtained from two years (2016 and 2017) of cultivation at FCAV/Universidade Estadual Paulista, Jaboticabal, SP, Brazil. The cultivars were maintained under supplementary irrigation, deficit irrigation and no irrigation. Data of the supplementary irrigation treatment (without stress) were used for the parameterization of each cultivar. Model accuracy was assessed by Pearson correlation (r), root mean squared error (RMSE), mean bias error (MBE), index of agreement (d) and confidence coefficient (c). The DSSAT/Canegro model is highly accurate in predicting stalk and sugar yields of sugarcane grown under water regimes, presenting itself as a viable alternative in sugarcane yield simulation. For better performance of the DSSAT/Canegro model, it is necessary to parameterize the variables related to the ecotype of the cultivars, besides the specific coefficients of the cultivars.
Investor sentiment and earnings management in Brazil
Authors: Santana Caio Vinicius Santos , Santos Luis Paulo Guimarães dos , Carvalho Júnior César Valentim de Oliveira , Martinez Antonio Lopo
Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT This research analyzes whether there is a temporal association between investor sentiment and earnings management in Brazil. Several studies have investigated the determinants of earnings management, such as factors inside or external to companies and regulatory requirements, but few have considered personal factors, such as investor sentiment in Brazil. With this investigation, it was apparent from the findings that accruals quality is affected by investor sentiment. For participants in the Brazilian capital market, this research reinforces the need for a more careful analysis of the results reported by companies, since managers, in response to investor sentiment, may manage earnings to inflate accounting profit through accruals and influence the market’s ability to price shares correctly. It is evident that accounting choices are much more than just financial decisions and are subject to investor sentiments. The effect of investor sentiment should be considered among the determinants of future earnings management. A sample of non-financial Brazilian companies that traded shares on the Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão (B3) exchange from 2010 to 2016 was used. The investor sentiment index was calculated according to the methodology of Baker and Wurgler (2007). For earnings management, the models of Kang and Sivaramakrishnan (1995), Kothari, Leone, and Wasley (2005), and Dechow, Hutton, Kim, and Sloan (2012) were used. The estimates were carried out through regressions for pooled panel data, fixed, and dynamic effects using the system generalized method of moments (GMM) estimator. Discretionary accruals are positively associated with investor sentiment in the Brazilian capital market, in a similar way to markets with greater informational efficiency and notwithstanding the code-law system. Analyzing low and high sentiment periods separately, the findings suggest that managers increase accruals after high sentiment and reduce them after low sentiment.
Leverage and investment opportunities: the effect on high growth firms
Authors: Oliveira Rossimar Laura , Kayo Eduardo Kazuo
Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT The objective of this paper is to investigate if the high growth of a firm results in a reduction in its debt levels. This is expected to happen for firms that experience a positive idiosyncratic shock to their growth opportunities, which would affect their cash flow and profitability. Although the relationship between growth opportunities (e.g., Tobin’s Q) and capital structure has already been widely discussed from a conceptual viewpoint, there are still important empirical gaps, particularly due to the endogeneity of the first variable. This paper seeks to minimize these problems by operationalizing the concept of idiosyncratic technological shocks. This issue is relevant because the negative relationship between growth and leverage may indicate that for the most efficient companies there will be a reduction in bankruptcy cost and a reduction in agency costs for the least efficient companies. This paper contributes to the development of studies in the area by demonstrating the inverse relationship between growth and leverage, with the model and the variable that represents the positive shocks experienced by companies. The dynamic panel method enables an analysis of the variation in debt in relation to the variation in value using the first differences and controlling the lagged debt effect. To apply the model, we used data from Brazilian companies, covering 1995 to 2016. The main results show that the greater the ratio between the firm’s growth opportunities and its industry growth opportunities, the lower its leverage indicators. The complementary results suggest that less leveraged firms have this negative relationship to an even stronger degree.
THEORETICAL-METHODOLOGICAL CONTRIBUTIONS OF ERGOLOGY TO RESEARCH ON WORK IN THE NURSING AREA
Authors: Ribeiro Gerusa , Pires Denise Elvira Pires de , Scherer Magda Duarte dos Anjos
Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT Objective: the present study is a theoretical reflection aiming to systematize conceptual and methodological aspects of the ergologic perspective, emphasizing contributions to studies on the work in the nursing area. Methods: study developed based on selected texts by authors that take on the ergologic perspective to examine human work, discussing theoretical or methodological aspects. Publications about the work in the nursing and health fields that resorted to ergology were also included. The study considered books, master’s dissertations, doctoral theses, and scientific papers published in indexed journals and discusses the following concepts: prescribed work and real work; work and activity; experience and established knowledge; skill’s ingredients; and three-pole dynamic device. The study shows the method used in ergology, stressing the data collection process. A reflection about the contributions of this approach to understanding the work in the nursing area was carried out based on studies addressing the work in the health and nursing areas and ergology’s concepts and method, with emphasis on the richness of this theoretical-methodological framework for the development of research on this area. Results: work in the nursing area includes a combination of knowledge and practice that goes beyond reproducing standards, routines, and procedures prescribed by institutions and the profession itself. The execution of the work activity is complex and involves the debate of standards and poses a challenge to the act of working with competence, in the dialogical impermanence between knowing how to act and being able to act. Conclusion: ergology can be a fruitful theoretical and methodological framework to better understand the complexity of the work activity in the nursing area.
How is cognition in subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation Parkinson’s disease patients?
Authors: Barboza e Barbosa Eduarda Naidel , Fichman Helenice Charchat
Published: December 2019

Abstract The impairments in cognitive functions such as memory, executive function, visuospatial skills and language in Parkinson’s disease (PD) are drawing increasing attention in the current literature. Studies dedicated to investigating the relationship between subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) and cognitive functioning are contradictory. This systematic review aims to analyze the impact on the cognitive functioning of patients with PD and STN-DBS. Articles published in the 2007-2017 period were retrieved from the Medline/Pubmed databases using PRISMA criteria. The analysis of 27 articles revealed many conflicting results, precluding a consensus on a cognitive functioning standard and hampering the establishment of a neuropsychological profile for PD patients who underwent STN-DBS surgery. Further studies investigating this relationship are needed.

ABSTRACT In elderly individuals, low educational level may represent a risk factor for the development of dementia and a proxy of cognitive reserve. Objective: This study examined the cognitive and neuroanatomic correlates of high versus low educational levels in cognitively healthy community-dwelling older adults in Brazil. Methods: Fifty-three older adults (mean age: 68±5.3 years) were divided into a “low education” group [LE; 1-4 years of education (N=33)] and “high education” group [HE; >11 years of education (N=20)]. Both groups completed a comprehensive neuropsychological battery and underwent in vivo structural MRI close to the time of testing. Results: Higher educational level increased the chance of having better scores on neuropsychological tests, including verbal and visual delayed recall of information, verbal learning, category fluency, global cognition, and vocabulary. Better scores on these tests were observed in the HE group relative to the LE group. Despite this, there were no group differences between MRI measures. Conclusion: Older adults with higher educational levels showed better scores on neuropsychological measures of cognition, highlighting the need for education-adjusted norms in developing countries. Given the absence of differences in structural anatomy between the groups, these findings appear to be best explained by theories of cognitive reserve.

Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT Cognitive deficits in Parkinson’s disease typically affect executive functions. Recently, the concept of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) has been related to PD (PD-MCI). PD-MCI is considered a transition phase to Parkinson’s disease Dementia. Therefore, it is important to identify PD-MCI in a reliable way. Objective: To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the INECO Frontal Screening (IFS) in detecting cognitive deficits in PD-MCI. Additionally, we compare the IFS and the Addenbrook Cognitive Examination Revised (ACE-R) between three groups; PD-MCI, MCI, and controls. Methods: The IFS and ACE-R were administered to 36 patients with PD-MCI, 31 with MCI (amnestic-multidomain subtype) and 92 healthy controls. Sensitivity and specificity were determined using ROC analysis. The groups were compared using one-way analysis of variance. Results: The IFS had adequate accuracy in differentiating patients with PD-MCI from healthy controls (AUC=0.77, sensitivity=0.82, specificity=0.77), and good accuracy in differentiating PD-MCI from MCI patients (AUC=0.80, sensitivity=0.82, specificity=0.61). However the IFS had low accuracy in differentiating MCI patients from healthy controls (AUC=0.47, sensitivity=0.52, specificity=0.41). On the ACE-R, the PD-MCI group had low performance in Fluency and Language. Only patients with PD-MCI had difficulties on the IFS, specifically in inhibitory control and visual working memory. This dysexecutive profile explains the sensitivity and specificity values found in the IFS. Conclusion: The present study results suggest that the IFS is a suitable screening tool for exploring cognitive dysfunction in PD-MCI, especially in those patients with a dysexecutive profile.

Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT Dementia is a constant concern for the public health system. Also, it impacts family members who provide informal care, often culminating in overload due to the emotional stress and physical distress of caregivers. Objective: This systematic review aimed to identify the consequences of Burnout Syndrome in informal caregivers of older adults with dementia. Methods: The search was performed spanning the last 10 years, in English, Portuguese or Spanish. The databases used were PubMed, SciELO, Web of Science and LILACS. The descriptors were obtained from MeSH and DeCS, which were, “caregivers”, “burnout”, “aged”, “psychological stress” and “dementia”. The selected articles included studies conducted with informal caregivers of community-dwelling older adults diagnosed with any type of dementia. The excluded articles had the following characteristics: the participants were not informal caregivers, the older adults were not diagnosed with dementia, or the main theme was not related to the Burnout Syndrome. Results: Initially, 1,208 articles were found. One hundred and forty-six were eliminated because they were duplicates. A further 1,033 were excluded because they did not meet the inclusion criteria. Twenty-nine studies were selected for full reading and 22 were excluded, giving 7 studies for inclusion in this review. Conclusion: The results showed that the Burnout Syndrome negatively affected caregivers’ quality of life and was associated with patient depressive and anxious symptoms and abusive behavior by caregiver. There is a need for studies with interventions addressing this issue.

Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT The growth in the elderly population has posed a social, economic and health challenge for the twenty-first century. Objective: Aging is often characterized by changes in cognitive functions which affect the receptive and expressive capabilities of language. Since language plays a significant role in human life, we evaluate the existence of age-related differences in narrative and persuasive discourses. Methods: The narrative discourse of 91 adults and persuasive discourse of 92 adults,aged from 19 to 75 years and stratified into four age groups,were examined. Results: There was a statistically significant difference between coherence in the elderly group and each of the other three age groups for both types of discourse. There was also a significant difference for the cohesion variable between the elderly and the first age group for narrative discourse only. Conclusion: The results of this study demonstrate that discourse is influenced by aging and type (genre) of discourse task. Therefore, it is essential for clinicians to take into account the linguistic needs of elderly and incorporate these into their clinical programs. Also, this finding can help clinicians to distinguish between discourses of normal aging and other neurologic disorders (for example dementia, right hemisphere damage, aphasia).
Remembering a name: Neuropsychological validity studies and a computer proposal for detection of anomia
Authors: Vigliecca Nora Silvana , Voos Javier Alfredo
Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT There are contradictory results or lack of validity studies concerning the naming function and brain laterality. Although anomia is a frequent symptom of memory impairment, and the most relevant symptom of aphasia, few studies have been conducted to evaluate its validity for detecting patients with left-hemisphere damage (LD), as per the MeSH definition. Objective: To validate a paper-and-pencil confrontation naming test (CNT) according to side of brain injury; to select a valid and reliable abbreviated CNT wherein the effect of demographic variables is minimized; and to use the selected CNT to develop a computer-aided confrontation-naming evaluation (CACNE). Methods: Control data were obtained from 213 healthy participants (HP) aged 15 to 89 years. A subsample of 106 HP was demographically matched to 39 patients with LD and 40 patients with right-hemisphere damage (RD). Anomia definition and CNT cues were considered for the CACNE. Results: Test-retest and inter-rater reliability, internal consistency, and validity for detecting LD were demonstrated. A significant age effect was observed in HP. The CACNE was developed to detect anomia in interaction with environmental interventions. Conclusion: The inconsistencies observed in the CNT studies were probably due to the presence of anomia in almost 50% of the RD patients.

Authors: Pereira Gabriela Caparica Muniz , Oliveira Gustavo Carvalho de
Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT The association between Capgras syndrome and Alzheimer’s disease has been reported in several studies, but its prevalence varies considerably in the literature, making it difficult to measure and manage this condition. Objective: This study aims to estimate the prevalence of Capgras syndrome in patients with Alzheimer’s disease through a systematic review, and to review etiological and pathophysiological aspects related to the syndrome. Methods: A systematic review was conducted using the Medline, ISI, Cochrane, Scielo, Lilacs, and Embase databases. Two independent researchers carried out study selection, data extraction, and qualitative analysis by strictly following the same methodology. Disagreements were resolved by consensus. The meta-analysis was performed using the random effect model. Results: 40 studies were identified, 8 of which were included in the present review. Overall, a total of 1,977 patients with Alzheimer’s disease were analyzed, and the prevalence of Capgras syndrome in this group was 6% (CI: 95% I² 54% 4.0-8.0). Conclusion: The study found a significant prevalence of Capgras syndrome in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. These findings point to the need for more studies on the topic to improve the management of these patients.

Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT The sundown syndrome is a complex neurobehavioral disorder in patients with dementia associated with high financial cost and significant caregiver burden. It is a multifactorial phenomenon with unclear pathophysiology, characterized by the presence of neuropsychiatric symptoms in the evening period. Objective: To analyze the main neuropsychiatric symptoms, their correlation with one another, with comorbidities, and with time of day of greatest symptom intensity in patients with Alzheimer’s disease dementia. Methods: This is a cross-sectional, observational and explanatory study in which caregivers/relatives of elderly patients with dementia were interviewed using a structured tool called the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI). Results: The sample studied was composed of 38 patients, 60.5% female and 39.5% male, with mean age of 81±6 (67-94) years. A high frequency of neuropsychiatric symptoms in the evening period was observed, predominantly irritability (55.3%), nocturnal behavior (47.4%), and aggressiveness (42.1%). Only 36.8% of the family caregivers used non-pharmacological strategies. Conclusion: The frequency of neuropsychiatric symptoms was exacerbated in the evening among patients with Alzheimer’s disease, especially for those behavioral symptoms that had a positive correlation with one another.

Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT Patients with Bipolar Disorder (BD) usually display cognitive deficits with aging. However, the correlation between BD and dementia syndromes is inconclusive, despite the similarity with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia. We report a 78-year-old female patient who had bipolar type 1 disorder since adolescence. Her symptoms ranged from apathy to psychotic mania. She had had three hospitalizations, and since her last stay 10 years ago, her symptoms had remained stable. However, in the past 2 years, she displayed different symptoms, such as irritability manifested as verbal and physical aggression, cognitive impairment, repetitive pattern of behavior, perambulation, persecutory delusions, disorientation, and hyporexia. Treatment with anticholinesterases or mood stabilizers promoted no improvement. She scored 17/30 points on the Mini-Mental State Examination. Neuropsychological assessment suggested deficits in executive function, attention, and memory. Neuroimaging tests revealed frontotemporal degeneration and hypoperfusion. Diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for this type of patient represent a significant challenge for clinicians.
DEFINING A 0-6 YEARS FRAMEWORK
Authors: Infantino Agnese
Published: December 2019

Abstract The new Italian legislative perspective on early childhood education and preschool services - as laid down in Law 107/2015 and Decree 65/2017 - provides for an “Integrated education and schooling system from birth to six years”, thereby introducing key changes to the existing system from both the organization/management and cultural/pedagogical points of view. The definition of educational continuity, professional development of educators and teachers, local coordination of services, and setting up of childhood service hubs [“Poli dell’infanzia”] are all new themes that need to be explored and translated into concrete reality on the ground. The new regulatory framework paves the way for a new wave of experimentation and innovation, but at the same time raises critical issues for early years education and preschool services, which if unaddressed, may impede the effective creation of novel and higher quality educational opportunities for children.

Abstract This study aims to understand how individuals, in the course of their life histories, and mainly through experiential learning processes, build knowledge through the participation in a social movement. To this end, a qualitative research was conducted, using semi-structured interviews, to obtain life narratives from six participants of a Brazilian movement that brings together young people across the country: the Levante Popular da Juventude [Popular Youth Uprising]. The research allows us to understand how the educational experience lived in social movements favors the emancipation of individuals who experience it and lead to an awareness about participatory citizenship in face of local and global realities.
Racism in English Language Teaching? Autobiographical Narratives of Black English Language Teachers in Brazil
Authors: Nascimento Gabriel
Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT A hundred thirty years after the abolition of slavery and post-slave trade in Brazil, Black people remain the minority amongst teachers in English courses of private and public schools. This situation is tagged in their professional situation insofar as an aftermath of racism and coloniality are concerned, as I shall argue here. In this study, I seek to examine the ways race can be negatively or positively expanded in the performance of the identities of Black English language teachers, framing themselves as either resistant identities in/through language (using the language as a strategy to resist) or resistant identities to language (negating themselves as capable speakers or teachers).
¿Compactación y difusión en un destino turístico de montaña? San Carlos de Bariloche en los años 2000
Authors: Medina Víctor Damián , Guevara Tomás Alejandro
Published: December 2019

Resumen En el marco de las discusiones relativas a las formas espaciales que asumen las urbes en el neoliberalismo, Abramo afirma que las ciudades latinoamericanas acusan un modelo de crecimiento urbano distintivo que es compacto y difuso a la vez, o com-fuso. Utilizando este modelo como disparador, el presente artículo refiere el caso de San Carlos de Bariloche, una ciudad turística de montaña localizada en la norpatagonia argentina, que históricamente creció de manera extensiva y difusa. Se postula que a partir de la década de 2000, junto a la reactivación y auge del turismo, comenzaron a consolidarse procesos de intensificación del uso del suelo que también tendieron a densificarla. Para verificar este aserto se evalúa particularmente lo sucedido en el barrio Belgrano, un área residencial aledaña al casco céntrico. El enfoque metodológico comprende la utilización de datos cuantitativos y cualitativos: fuentes censales, permisos de edificación y ofertas de inmuebles, pero también entrevistas, fotografías aéreas y documentos públicos. Se concluye que los procesos de densificación no solo matizan el modelo de crecimiento difuso de la ciudad, sino que también plantean interrogantes en torno a otras problemáticas urbanas que, en conjunto, podrían contribuir a definir el modo en que crecen las ciudades turísticas y algunas de sus manifestaciones socioespaciales.

Published: December 2019

Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar a rede de pesquisadores brasileiros que estudam cidades inteligentes e descrever as principais contribuições para o debate sobre o tema. Foi realizada a representação de redes de relacionamento para obter uma fotografia dos núcleos de pesquisa em "cidades inteligentes" e uma revisão sistemática da literatura das produções nacionais existentes. Os resultados demonstram que há uma predominância conceitual e empírica de cidades inteligentes que reúnem aspectos relacionados à Tecnologia da Informação e Comunicação e à qualidade de vida das pessoas, conectando-as, capacitando-as, a fim de promover interações constantes nas cidades e governança pública. Pesquisadores que estudam o assunto estão localizados principalmente na USP, PUC Campinas, UFPE e UNINOVE, no entanto, não foram evidenciadas redes de relações entre universidades na condução da pesquisa. O artigo auxilia na análise geral da pesquisa realizada no Brasil sobre cidades inteligentes, bem como, contribui para a discussão da necessidade de uma visão mais ampla do conceito de cidades inteligentes, que vai além da criação de TICs evidenciado neste estudo.

Published: December 2019

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo consiste em identificar os fatores de maior influência da geração dos RCC, assim como diagnosticar a gestão dos resíduos nos canteiros de obras da cidade de Recife-PE. A identificação dos fatores de influência se deu através do levantamento de informações por meio de entrevistas e aplicação de questionários com os responsáveis de 35 obras. Em 15 obras foi realizado um diagnóstico da gestão dos resíduos, identificando fisicamente os métodos utilizados para gerenciar os fluxos gerados. Os fatores influenciadores indicaram como principais aspectos relacionados à geração dos RCC, o sobreconsumo de materiais, complexidade e alteração nos projetos, além dos processos construtivos envolvidos. O diagnóstico realizado da gestão dos RCC mostrou que 15 obras não tinham dados completos de geração de resíduos; 8 obras possuíam certificação ISO 14001, sendo que estas tinham uma forma mais eficaz de gestão dos RCC em relação as que não eram certificadas. Os resultados permitem observar que existe desconhecimento sobre o consumo dos materiais e produção de resíduos dentro dos canteiros. Uma adequada avaliação permitirá um melhor desempenho destas empresas, não apenas no aspecto ambiental, mas também na sobrevivência das mesmas empresas, criando empreendimentos de sucesso.

Resumo O presente artigo analisa o fenômeno das inundações como questão socio-histórica em Teresina-Piauí. Examina as representações sócio-espaciais construídas e as ações governamentais em torno dessa problemática. Apoia-se em matérias de periódicos locais e documentos oficiais e parte do pressuposto de que as enchentes e seus impactos na cidade são vistos como desastres sobrenaturais e/ou naturais, influenciando o modo sob o qual as ações governamentais são adotadas, isto é, ora com um caráter reativo e assistencialista, ora sob um viés tecnocrático, desconsiderando as dimensões histórica, social e política que revestem o fenômeno.

Resumo Sistemas alimentares têm sido, tradicionalmente, objeto de estudo das ciências sociais e agrícolas. Mais recentemente, a pesquisa em Design vem desenvolvendo estratégias que buscam compreender as relações entre a sustentabilidade e o sistema alimentar. Não como meio de produção de uma commodity tangível a ser comercializada, mas como resultado de um sistema sociotécnico intangível, que pode ser projetado para melhoria da qualidade de vida. Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar as interseções entre os conceitos de Sistema Produto-Serviço (PSS) em Comunidades que Sustentam a Agricultura (CSA). Nesse contexto, são analisadas duas CSAs como alternativas capazes de transformar positivamente a forma com a sociedade produz, distribui e comercializa os alimentos. Também se discute as limitações do estudo e o papel do design no desenvolvimento de modelos de CSAs mais eficientes e sustentáveis no que se refere ao sistema alimentar como um todo. Os resultados permitem contextualizar o funcionamento das CSAs estudadas e identificar os particulares desafios que possam ser superados utilizando-se processos e habilidades do PSS.

Resumo As tecnologias de informação e comunicação vêm alterando o contexto em que vivemos nas mais variadas escalas. Por isso, se tornaram também uma importante ferramenta de gestão dos problemas das cidades contemporâneas. O presente artigo tem como objetivo investigar as relações entre território e tecnologia, observando que a tecnologia é produtora de territórios, mas nem todo território produz a mesma tecnologia. Esta relação será explicada por meio da análise da customização territorial dos aplicativos móveis AlertaBlu (Blumenau/SC) e Onde Tem Tiroteio (Rio de Janeiro/RJ). A metodologia utilizada consiste em revisão bibliográfica e análise comparativa. Os resultados mostram que estes aplicativos são criadores de territórios, uma vez que demarcam os locais seguros e inseguros das cidades onde atuam. Conclui-se que estes territórios funcionam como uma ferramenta de mediação urbana.

Resumen La educación chilena atraviesa por un proceso de cambios estructurales impulsados por nuevas reformas educacionales. La apropiada implementación del cambio educativo necesariamente ocurre a través de los principales actores encargados de la implementación de las reformas: los docentes. Las investigaciones sobre el tema coinciden en que la implementación de reformas introduce elementos de tensión entre el profesorado, situación que se suma a los desafíos que enfrentan los establecimientos educacionales situados en comunidades educativas con altos índices de vulnerabilidad socioeconómica. Esta investigación cualitativa, basada en un estudio de caso, explora el discurso de los docentes en ejercicio con respecto a su experiencia de trabajo colaborativo con sus pares contemplando los factores facilitadores y obstaculizadores del mismo. La información obtenida permite interpretar que la colaboración entre pares y su implicancia a lo largo del desarrollo profesional de los docentes se vincula a las distintas etapas vitales y de inserción laboral.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the existential movement of women with heart diseases in the context of Reproductive Planning. Method: Qualitative with Heideggerian phenomenological approach. Seventeen participants with heart disease and with recent experience of pregnancy at a reference institution for maternal risk participated in the study, through the phenomenological interview. Results: Two units of meanings emerged in the hermeneutical analysis: To be more attentive and concerned with the treatment because the problem remains the same; Expressing that they don´t want to get pregnant anymore because they´ve reached the limit and to seek planning in doing the tubal ligation. Conclusion and implications for practice: The unveiling of the existential movement made it possible to understand that, although the participants felt secure with the institutional follow-up of high-risk pregnancies, this proved to be insufficient with regard to Reproductive Planning. It stands out the necessary consideration by nurses and other health professionals that this planning is an important set of actions to identify and modify risks in women with heart diseases in the perspective of better perinatal outcomes. It is necessary to advance in the comprehension of the subjective aspects of the woman and the couple through the dialogue, besides the permanent education work of the whole team.

RESUMO Objetivo Descrever o perfil e a prevalência do tipo, grau de perda auditiva e dispositivo eletrônico utilizado pelos usuários do sistema de frequência modulada de um Serviço de Atenção à Saúde Auditiva. Métodos Estudo transversal retrospectivo. Foram analisados 309 prontuários de pacientes usuários de sistema de frequência modulada. As variáveis consideradas foram: faixa etária, gênero, tipo e grau da perda auditiva, dispositivo eletrônico utilizado, linguagem oral estabelecida ou oralização parcial e realização, ou não, de terapia fonoaudiológica. Foi feita análise descritiva dos dados e o teste Qui-quadrado de Pearson ou teste exato de Fisher. Resultados Participantes com idade entre 5 e 17 anos compuseram a amostra, com faixa etária média de 11,7 anos e predominância do gênero masculino. O tipo de perda mais prevalente foi a neurossensorial e o grau foi o moderado. Sobre o dispositivo eletrônico utilizado, houve maior número de usuários do aparelho de amplificação sonora individual. A maior porcentagem de pacientes do grupo analisado foi oralizada e fez terapia fonoaudiológica. Conclusão Este estudo ressaltou a importância de se conhecer o perfil dos pacientes com deficiência auditiva que fazem uso do sistema de frequência modulada concedido pelo Sistema Único de Saúde. (SUS). Espera-se que a pesquisa tenha contribuído para revisão da Portaria nº 1.274/2013, a fim de beneficiar os futuros pacientes que irão receber o sistema de frequência modulada pelo SUS.

Published: December 2019

RESUMO: Este artigo demonstra como o movimento indígena contemporâneo lança luz sobre a múltipla teia de relacionamentos entre os povos indígenas e a sociedade brasileira. A discussão irá responder à pergunta: como atores indígenas fizeram uso da Lei nº 11.645/2008 para atuar como agentes sociais fora de seus espaços tradicionais? Para tanto, fiz uso de uma abordagem metodológica de perspectiva indígena decorrente de minha experiência como observador e participante do movimento indígena conduzido pela caravana Mekukradjá, um projeto para disseminar a literatura indígena no Brasil. Essa discussão possibilita ver os indígenas não somente como objetos da lei, mas como sujeitos atuantes do próprio direito.
LES FORMES MODERNES DE L’EMPRISE MANAGERIALE
Authors: Linhart Danièle
Published: December 2019

RESUME: Le management moderne se caractérise par ses dimensions contradictoires. Il prétend mettre au cœur de sa politique la mobilisation de l’intelligence, de la réactivité des salariés et il les entrave avec des dispositifs très contraignants de procédures et de reporting tout en attaquant leur expérience et leurs savoirs par une politique du changement permanent. C’est qu’il recherche avant tout à asseoir sa domination. Mais certains patrons cherchent d’autres modes de domination et pour ce faire « libèrent » leur entreprise…

RESUMO: Este artigo apresenta o Simulador de Custo-Aluno Qualidade (SimCAQ) como instrumento de planejamento orçamentário, articulando tal discussão ao custo do financiamento da educação em condições de qualidade no Brasil. Trata-se de um sistema computacional online que gera informações sobre as seguintes questões: qual é o Custo-Aluno Qualidade (CAQ) nas etapas/modalidades da educação básica? Qual deve ser o orçamento da educação em cada município e estado para garantir o financiamento em condições de qualidade? Qual é o impacto da adoção do CAQ como valor de referência no montante total investido em educação básica em âmbito nacional? Com base na definição de 169 parâmetros denominados de padrão de qualidade de referência (PQR), as simulações para 2019 mostraram que o CAQ de cada etapa/modalidade seria consideravelmente superior aos valores do Fundo de Manutenção e Desenvolvimento da Educação Básica e de Valorização dos Profissionais da Educação (Fundeb), além da necessidade de aumentar os recursos em 19,8%.
