Cateteres venosos totalmente implantáveis: histórico, técnica de implante e complicações
Authors: Zerati Antonio Eduardo , Wolosker Nelson , Luccia Nelson de , Puech-Leão Pedro
Published: June 2017

Resumo O acesso ao sistema venoso, seja para coleta de amostras de sangue ou para infusão de soluções, é de vital importância para o diagnóstico e tratamento de pacientes com as mais variadas condições clínicas. Desde que Harvey, em 1616, descreveu o sistema circulatório a partir de estudos em animais e que Sir Christopher Wren, 4 décadas depois, realizou a primeira infusão endovenosa em seres vivos, a evolução na técnica de acesso e nos dispositivos para infusão tem sido constante. Merece destaque a criação dos cateteres de longa duração na década de 1970, em especial os totalmente implantáveis, que revolucionaram o tratamento do câncer, aumentando a segurança e o conforto dos pacientes oncológicos. Este artigo tem como objetivo a revisão de dados históricos relativos ao acesso vascular e a discussão da técnica de implante e das principais complicações associadas ao procedimento de colocação e ao uso dos cateteres totalmente implantáveis.
Mulé’ tem que ficar esperta: turismo, encontros passionais e gestão feminina da intimidade no nordeste do brasil
Authors: Sacramento Octávio
Published: June 2017

Resumo Baseado num trabalho de campo etnográfico, o texto considera as configurações passionais adultas resultantes do encontro de turistas europeus e mulheres brasileiras no bairro balnear de Ponta Negra (Natal-RN, nordeste brasileiro). A análise centra-se nas expectativas, estratégias e práticas femininas presentes nessas relações transatlânticas, assumindo-se a impossibilidade de estabelecer uma demarcação rígida entre dinheiro e amor, entre programas e outras formas de convivência íntima. A generalidade das mulheres gere os seus relacionamentos a partir de um conjunto semelhante de propósitos, embora ponderados de modo variável. Os interesses materiais tendem a assumir grande relevância e transversalidade. Todavia, entrecruzam-se com um leque de muitos outros desejos e projectos significativos no âmbito do género, da conjugalidade, da família e das migrações. Na prossecução destes desígnios, as mulheres evidenciam engenhosos procedimentos micropolíticos de intimidade, tentando compensar a posição social adversa ante os turistas europeus, estruturalmente favorecidos pelas intersecções de nacionalidade, classe, “raça” e género.

Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate phosphorus forms in grape leaves and their relationships with must composition and yield in grapevines grown in a Typic Hapludalf with different available P contents. Two experiments were carried out with Vitis viniferacultivars, one with 'Tannat' and the other with 'Cabernet Franc' grapes. Experiment 1 consisted of two vineyards of 'Tannat', with the following P content in the soil: V1, 11.8 mg kg-1 P; and V2, 34.6 mg kg-1 P. Experiment 2 consisted of two vineyards of 'Cabernet Franc', with the following P content in the soil: V1, 16.0 mg kg-1 P; and V2, 37.0 mg kg-1 P. Leaves were collected at flowering (FL) and veraison (V), and, after their preparation, P forms were evaluated. Yield and must composition were assessed. The highest yield was observed in V2 of experiment 1 and in V2 of experiment 2. Total P content and P forms in leaves at FL and V have no relationship with yield parameters; however, total P content in leaves has a relationship with anthocyanin content in the must of 'Tannat' grapevines. Therefore, P fractionation in leaves predicts neither grapevine yield nor must composition.

Abstract Trypanosomiasis caused by Trypanosoma vivax has increased the reports in Brazil in the last decade. An outbreak is herein first reported in the state of Goiás, from May 2016 to January 2017. The outbreak start occurred in the city of Ipameri (Goiás) after the introduction of 18 auctioned cows from the state of Minas Gerais. Direct parasitological test (blood smears) and polymerase chain reactions targeting the catL genes diagnosed T. vivax infection. Fifty six cows from a herd of 161 were infected; 12 died during the outbreak and 44 animals persistently positive (by blood smears) even after chemical treatment were discarded. After this first case, five other cases were detected in state of Goiás. The spread of this disease can be linked to the commercialization of animals carrying T. vivax, allied to the iatrogenic transmission practice, using a single needle and syringe for all cows, during oxytocin administration before each milking.
Effects of the hydration reactivity of ultrafine magnesium oxide on cement-based materials

Published: June 2017

The size of magnesium oxide may greatly affect its behaviour in cement-based materials (CBMs), and this has not been fully investigated. The reactivity of ultrafine magnesium oxide (UFM) of size 40 nm to 20 μm was assessed, and its effects on the compressive strength and volume stability of cement mortar were investigated. The results showed that the hydration of UFM followed the first-order reaction mode in the first 3 d and then slowed down due to the alteration of the reaction to the diffusion-controlled mode. UFM contributed to an increase in compressive strength and a decrease in shrinkage of CBMs at the very early age, but hindered the hydration of cement at later ages, coarsened the microstructure, and decreased the later-age shrinkage to a much smaller extent than normal light-burnt magnesium oxide. The relatively high hydration reactivity of UFM may contribute to the formation of a more compact gel structure around cement particles at the very early age, which may hinder the reaction of cement at later ages, thus leading to the slowed property gain of CBMs at later ages. The findings from this study may help in the selection of magnesium oxide types for achieving a desired CBM with certain properties.

Authors: Rodríguez-Burgos Karla , Martínez Cárdenas Alan Alejandro , Rodríguez-Serpa Ferney Asdrual
Published: June 2017

El presente artículo de investigación científica se desarrolla a partir de la confluencia interdisciplinaria de varias líneas de investigación en torno a uno de los problemas axiológicos más sustanciales de la sociedad milenaria: los valores de tolerancia y respeto. En este sentido, el presente estudio arroja resultados cuantitativos confiables de encuestas aplicadas a estudiantes de universidades públicas del Estado de Nuevo León, México, que permiten dar cuenta del estado de estos dos valores, los cuales, ineludiblemente entran en crisis permanente ante los disímiles movimientos que trae consigo la economía, los desarrollos tecnológicos así como los nuevos hábitos y costumbres emergentes de una sociedad global en constante cambio. No obstante, este artículo desde otra perspectiva promete destacar los aspectos positivos de estos valores en medio de las tensiones que nos presenta nuestra contemporaneidad, como son los temas que implican la aceptación de diversidad sexual, ideológica, racial, entre otras diferencias.

Published: June 2017

Proponemos pensar históricamente la coyuntura nacional e internacional en que se dio la visita del Papa a Chile bajo la dictadura y, en particular, su encuentro masivo con miembros del pueblo mapuche. Explicamos por qué fue relevante para la transición a la democracia y para la visión de la Iglesia Católica respecto de ‘la emergencia indígena en América Latina’. Se analiza el proceso complejo de cambios relativos a las representaciones de la Iglesia sobre el pueblo mapuche a partir del Concilio Vaticano II y las Conferencias del Episcopado Latinoamericano de Medellín (1968)y Puebla (1979). Enfocamos historiográficamente el discurso que S.S. Juan Pablo II dirigió a campesinos chilenos y mapuche, durante su visita al país en Temuco, abril de 1987.
The new era of information as power and the field of Cyber Intelligence
Authors: Gomes de Assis Camila
Published: June 2017

This article seeks to describe the interference of cybernetics as a key intervening factor in the consolidation of information as a power resource in the 21st century. Aware that information is the main substrate for the practice of intelligence, the studies carried out also seek to understand the transformations generated by the inclusion of cyberspace in this practice, highlighting how the particular characteristics of this domain are responsible for generating new demands to States in terms of defense and security. In order to achieve the proposed objectives, this paper is structured into three main discussion topics. The first one will hold a brief discussion about the particular characteristics of this new domain and its political significance to International Relations. The second topic will deal directly with the issues of intelligence and an evaluation of the interference of cyberspace in the intelligence practice will be carried out focusing on the study of the North American - dedicating a third topic to such discussion. In methodological terms it is a descriptive work; therefore, it will be guide by the analysis of international events that approach this subject, as well as by the literature that dedicated to such discussions. This article does not seek to end with such questions, but to present itself as a north to future discussions on this subject.
La vinculación entre geopolítica y seguridad: algunas apreciaciones conceptuales y teóricas/ The link between geopolitics and security: a conceptual and theoretical assessment
Authors: Cabrera Toledo Lester Martin
Published: June 2017

El presente artículo establece una discusión teórica sobre la vinculación que existe entre la geopolítica y la seguridad. En este sentido, la discusión se aprecia desde un punto de vista en torno a la evolución que ha tenido la relación entre geopolítica y seguridad, particularmente sobre la forma en que se comprenden tanto los procesos conflictivos y los actores que se ven involucrados. Así, se establece la vinculación desde comienzos del siglo XX hasta la actualidad, donde se percibe la necesidad de comprender tanto a la geopolítica como a la seguridad desde otros puntos de vista en los que incluso sus elementos básicos se ven cuestionados. Se concluye que se requiere una comprensión holística de ambas perspectivas para entender y explicar los nuevos fenómenos conflictivos, sin descartar la totalidad de los postulados clásicos. ABSTRACTThe present article seeks to establish a theoretical discussion about the link between geopolitics and security. In this sense, the discussion is seen from a point of view on the evolution of the relationship between geopolitics and security, particularly on the way in which both conflicting processes and the actors involved are understood. Thus, it is established the linkage from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present, where it is perceived the need to understand both geopolitics and security from other points of view, in which even its basic elements are questioned. It concludes that a holistic understanding of both perspectives is required to understand and explain the new conflicting phenomena, without ruling out the totality of the classical postulates.

El ciberdelito ha aumentado significativamente a nivel mundial en estas últimas décadas. En tal sentido, la investigación sobre este fenómeno en Venezuela ha sido escasa, específicamente en lo que respecta a los factores asociados con la victimización en línea. En consecuencia, este estudio busca promover el análisis de los condicionantes del delito y la victimización en línea en la región. Para ello, se investiga un conjunto de variables derivadas de la Teoría de las actividades rutinarias. El propósito es observar su relación con la victimización por hackeo y acoso online en una muestra de 308 sujetos. Este estudio halló un grupo de variables que pueden estar relacionadas con la probabilidad de victimización cibernética, las cuales serán discutidas en términosempíricos, teóricos y prácticos.ABSTRACTCybercrime has significantly increased worldwide in the last decades. There has been very little research done regarding cybercrimes in Venezuela in comparison to other places, more specifically in regards to the factors related to online victimization. Thus, this study aims to encourage the analysis on the factors of crime andonline victimization in the region. Therefore, a group of variables derived from the routine activity theory (Cohen and Felson 1979), is analyzed. The purpose is to observe its relation to hacking and online harassment in a sample of 308 individuals. This study found a group of variables that could be related to the likelihood ofcyber victimization, which will be discussed in empirical, theoretical and practical terms.

Playgrounds as Migrant Integration Spaces
Authors: Rocheva Anna , Varshaver Evgeni , Ivanova Nataliya
Published: June 2017

Playgrounds form one of the types of public spaces with the widest possible access and thus imply opportunities for interethnic contact. This contact, in turn, can contribute to migrant social integration — meaning a weakening of migrant-non-migrant stereotypes and a formation of new social ties between these two ‘groups’ — or, on the contrary, lead to conflicts and strengthen negative attitudes. Existing scholarship provides contradictory accounts  egarding the question about the role that public spaces in general and playgrounds in particular play regarding migrant integration. In the case of Russia, there are no accounts at all. The article presents the results of research conducted with qualitative methods (observation and interviews) on the  laygrounds in two Moscow residential neighborhoods in 2014–2015 and which focused on the grown-ups/parents rather than the children. The article argues that playgrounds contribute to the integration of internal migrants-‘ethnic majority’ but not international migrants-‘ethnic minority’, even more so if the latter speak little Russian and/or wear a hijab. As a result, playgrounds witness the formation of two distinct ‘social circles’ of the ‘ethnic minority’ and ‘ethnic majority’ with few contacts between them, most of which are of a conflicting nature. Lack of interaction together with presence in the same space leads to the creation of a negative interpretation of each other’s behavior from both sides.
On Possible Reasons for University Resource Base Decline
Authors: Lisyutkin Mikhail
Published: June 2017

A number of national higher education systems have been facing consistent resource decline lately, which cannot but affect the resource base of particular universities. Importantly, while some universities suffer from resource decline, others demonstrate an improvement in or expansion of their resources. This is where a question, both theoretically and practically essential, is raised about the reasons for the dynamics of a university’s resource base and its specific components. The article explores the Russian higher education system as well as particular Russian public universities in terms of resource base dynamics. Financial, intellectual and infrastructural resources are analyzed as components of the university’s resource base. As a result, a group of universities characterized by the declining resource base has been identified and described in detail. Interviews with the representatives of those universities as well as a review of relevant foreign studies have provided the basis for the identification of the possible reasons for the resource base decline of particular universities, which include organizational, contextual and technological factors.
A Part of and Apart from Sport: Practitioners’ Experiences Coaching in Segregated Youth Sport
Authors: Spencer-Cavaliere Nancy , Thai Jennifer , Kingsley Bethan
Published: June 2017

Sport can present a site of exclusion for many youth who experience disability even when it has a focus on inclusion (Fitzgerald, 2009). While sport practitioners can play a critical role in creating inclusive environments, they frequently struggle to do so. As a consequence, the sport opportunities for young people who experience disability are often inadequate and inequitable. The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of youth sport practitioners who teach and coach youth in primarily segregated settings. The overall goal was to gain a better understanding of how sport practitioners think about disability and sport within the context of their practices. Guided by the method of interpretive description, we interviewed 15 sport practitioners. Analysis of the data led to the overarching theme, ‘a part of and apart from sport’, highlighting the ways in which segregated youth sport was understood to be more or less inclusive/exclusive by sport practitioners. Within this overarching theme, four subthemes were drawn: a) authentic connections, b) diversity and adaptations, c) expectations same…but different, and d) (dis)ability and competitive sport. While highlighting the need for self-reflective and knowledgeable coaches, our findings also bring attention to the concepts of ability and ableism and their impacts on the sport opportunities of youth who experience disability. Our discussion highlights the need to question assumptions underlying segregated sport.
Policing the Void: Recreation, Social Inclusion and the Baltimore Police Athletic League
Authors: Bustad Jacob J. , Andrews David L.
Published: June 2017

In this article, we explore the relationship between public recreation policy and planning and the transformation of urban governance in the context of the Police Athletic League centers in Baltimore, Maryland. In light of contemporary discussions of the role of youth programs for sport and physical activity within post-industrial cities, the origination, development, and eventual demise of Baltimore’s network of Police Activity League centers is an instructive, if disheartening, saga. It illustrates the social and political rationales mobilized in justifying recreation policy and programming, the framing of sport and physical activity as preventative measures towards crime and juvenile delinquency, and the precarity of such initiatives given the efficiency-driven orthodoxies of neoliberal urban entrepreneurialism (Harvey, 1989). This analysis emphasizes how the PAL centers were designed to ‘fill the void’ left by a declining system of public recreation, thereby providing an example of a recreation program as part of the “social problems industry” (Pitter & Andrews 1997).
A Capability Approach to Understanding Sport for Social Inclusion: Agency, Structure and Organisations
Authors: Suzuki Naofumi
Published: June 2017

Despite the global diffusion of the term social inclusion, as well as the use of sport to promote it, questions have been raised regarding the extent to which sport is able to contribute to transforming the exclusive nature of the social structure. The lack of analytical clarity of the concept has not helped to address these questions. This article proposes a conceptual framework based on Amartya Sen’s capability approach, considering social exclusion as the denial of social relations that leads to serious deprivation of important capabilities. A person’s capabilities could potentially be improved through micro-, meso-, and macro-level social processes. At the micro level, sport-based social inclusion programmes could offer such social relations to varying degrees, though sport’s values are only relative to other leisure activities. The scale of impact depends primarily on the meso-level processes, in which the size and quality of each programme can be improved through organisational learning, and secondarily on the macro-level processes whereby the organisational population is institutionalised. It is argued that more research needs to be done on the meso and macro levels, as they are concerned with the ultimate potential of sport to facilitate structural transformation towards more socially inclusive society.
ROUTING AROUND ORGANIZATIONS: SELF-DIRECTED POLITICAL CONSUMPTION*
Authors: Earl Jennifer , Copeland Lauren , Bimber Bruce
Published: June 2017

Recent research on activism in the context of digital media has argued that organizing can happen outside of organizations and even without SMOs. This work has been focused primarily on the “supply side” of participation. In this article, we expand this line of work by focusing on the “demand side.” We examine the distinction between self-directed and organizationally directed activism from the perspective of the individual, finding that shifts toward movement societies, the rise of lifestyle politics, and, to a lesser extent, changing citizenship norms explain citizen preferences for self-directed versus organizationally directed political consumption. We also analyze the relationship between political interest, different kinds of digital media use, and preferences for self-directed activism. We use original data from a survey in the U.S. on political consumption.

Desejando-se avaliar o desempenho agronômico da cultura do amendoim submetido a diferentes doses de fósforo e potássio juntamente da presença ou ausência de aplicação de adubo foliar, desenvolveu-se 2 experimentos na Fazenda de Ensino, Pesquisa e Extensão/UNESP – Campus de Ilha Solteira, localizada no município de Selvíria – MS. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi em blocos casualizados com 4 repetições, sendo os tratamentos dispostos em esquema fatorial 3 x 3 x 2, sendo 3 doses de fósforo (0, 60 e 120 kg ha-1 de P2O5) e 3 doses de potássio (0, 20 e 40 kg ha-1 de K2O) via solo, e ausência ou presença do adubo foliar Flonergan® (1 L ha-1). Foi utilizado o cultivar IAC-Tatu ST, utilizando espaçamento de 0,9m, com semeaduras realizadas em 16 junho e 14 novembro de 2006 para o Experimento 1 e 2, respectivamente. Para o Experimento 1, o parâmetro massa de 100 grãos apresentou interação significativa para doses de fósforo x adubo foliar, destacando-se o tratamento constituído por presença de adubo foliar na dose de 60 kg ha-1 P2O5. No Experimento 2, observa-se que a dose de 20 kg ha-1 de K20 causou um incremento superior na massa de 100 grãos. Não foi constatado aumento da produtividade de grãos de amendoim até as doses de fósforo e potássio utilizadas.

Published: June 2017

As contaminações em frutas e hortaliças resultantes da atividade de patógenos geram significativas perdas na fase pós-colheita e na etapa de comercialização. Não somente uma sanitização inadequada dos pontos de amostragem e venda, mas a falta de boas práticas e manuseio em toda a cadeia favorece a incidência de podridão de origem microbiana e da contaminação secundária no ambiente de armazenamento e comércio. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi o de gerar informações para orientar uma melhor sanitização fazendo uso de agentes antimicrobianos que tenham uma atuação mais eficiente no controle dos micro-organismos que predominam nestes pontos de venda. Através de um estudo de caso, foi realizado amostragem em uma importante central de recebimento e comercialização de frutas e hortaliças no atacado e varejo, localizada em São Carlos, SP, sendo identificados 46 tipos de bactérias em diversos pontos de acondicionamento e venda. As gôndolas de hortaliças e os pratos da balança foram os locais de maior incidência microbiana. A maioria dos micro-organismos identificados é do tipo Gram-positivo, contudo das 16 bactérias reconhecidas como Gram-negativas, 13 destas apresentaram média ou alta motilidade, sendo considerados organismos de alto potencial patógeno. Por meio de análise de material genético replicado por técnica de PCR (polymerase chain reaction), identificaram-se dois grupos Gram-negativos dominantes: Escherichia e Enterobacter, em diferentes cepas.

Authors: Chetani Monica , Deepika . , Khajotia Santosh , Kochar Swati
Published: June 2017

Background: Amniotic fluid plays a major role in the development of fetus. It provides a medium in which fetus can readily move, cushions the fetus against injuries, helps to maintain even temperature. Objective of present study was to investigate the perinatal outcome of ultrasonographically detected normal and decreased (Oligohydramnios) amniotic fluid index, at or beyond 28 weeks of gestation.Methods: During this study 200 patients with singleton pregnancy were selected at or beyond 28 weeks of pregnancy and AFI was evaluated. On the basis of AFI measurement patients were divided in two groups. Perinatal outcome in pregnancies with AFI of <5cm were compared with those with normal AFI.Results: There was significant correlation (p<0.001) between oligohyramnios and poor perinatal outcome. Incidence of LSCS, meconium stained liquor and low apgar score has significant correlation in patients with oligohydramnios. Incidence of low birth weight babies, NICU admissions and perinatal death was more were more are more in oligohydramnios cases. This is statistically significant (p<0.001).Conclusions: AFI <5 cm at or beyond 28 weeks of gestational age in an indicator of poor perinatal outcome. AFI measurement in antepartum or intrapartum period can help to identify women who need increased antepartum surveillance for pregnancy complications and such women should be managed in a special unit to combat the complications effectively.
Clinico mycological study of tinea capitis
Authors: K. Geetha , S. Nithya priyadharshini
Published: June 2017

Background: Tinea capitis is a superficial fungal infection of the scalp and scalp hair that is caused by dermatophytes most commonly in children. It is caused by genera Trichophyton and Microsporum.The aims and objectives of the study were to study the epidemiological aspects, various etiological agents, clinical types, clinic etiological correlation and to note the changing trends.

Methods: All new patients with tinea capitis were included for the study after KOH positivity. For total 98 patients in all age groups, fungal culture was performed from scalp scrapings. The epidemiological factors and the clinic etiological correlation were also assessed.

Results: Tinea capitis was found most commonly in the 5-10 years age group with a male preponderance (69%). Non inflammatory types were more commonly observed in 66.3% of cases, with grey patch being the most common type. Kerion was most common in inflammatory group. T. tonsurans (31.1%) was the most frequently isolated fungus followed by T. violaceum and T. mentagrophytes in 25.7% each. In previous studies T. violaceum was the most common agent isolated in South India, whereas T. tonsurans is the most common agent in this study, showing a changing scenario. The clinic mycological correlation revealed that a single pathogen may give rise to various clinical types.

Conclusions: In any location, the pathogenic species may change with time. A single pathogen may give rise to various clinical types.

Authors: Dinesh Athulya , Ashok Aishwarya , Rizvi Omar , Mathews Sheron , Dhanusha M. P.
Published: June 2017

Apprehension of a dentist to treat a pregnant woman is nearly reasonable considering the vast number of changes taking place in the body. These vast changes could pose a significant risk to the health of a pregnant woman undergoing dental treatment. This makes it mandatory for a dentist to be aware of the dos and don’ts of treating such patients to ensure maximum safety to the mother and her growing foetus. It is important to fully understand the specific changes occurring during each trimester to appropriately modify the treatment approach starting from scheduling of appointments and correct chair positions to major surgical procedures. Knowledge about the pharmacological actions and limitations of drugs administered during this period is essential. Each branch of dentistry has a distinct modality of treating expectant mothers. Hence, the purpose of this article is to emphasize on the dental services that a pregnant woman can receive without hesitation and to give a complete picture to the dentist regarding the specific alterations that he needs to make in treating such patients.

A relevância e complexidade da decisão de contratação de empresas para prover o suprimento físico têm incentivado organizações a buscarem ferramentas e técnicas destinadas à avaliação de fornecedores. Baseado na teoria da decisão, este estudo objetiva apoiar os gestores do setor de alimentação coletiva, que apresenta relevante importância econômica e social para o Brasil, na tomada de decisão para avaliação do desempenho de fornecedores de gêneros alimentícios. Para tanto, considerando a realidade vivenciada em um serviço público de alimentação coletiva, foram levantadas as preferências do decisor, no que diz respeito a identificação dos critérios adotados e as devidas ponderações. Em seguida, mediante a aplicação do método multicritério ELECTRE II foi estabelecida a ordenação dos fornecedores. Dessa forma, o ranking final de fornecedores, conforme sua avaliação de desempenho, encontrado como resultado desse estudo, viabiliza ao gestor a elaboração de estratégias de relacionamento com os fornecedores, no sentido de concretizar parcerias entre comprador e fornecedor ou mesmo definindo cursos de ação à curto prazo.

O objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar a variância dos indicadores de desempenho das empresas que passaram por operações de combinação de negócios e com ações negociadas na BM&FBOVESPA. O estudo caracteriza-se como descritivo, conduzido por meio de análise documental e abordagem quantitativa, com a utilização do teste ANOVA. A amostra é composta por 47 empresas. A variabilidade significativa do índice ROA pode estar correlacionada ao processo de fusões e aquisições (F&A). Após a combinação de negócios o patrimônio líquido das empresas cresceu substancialmente e o lucro líquido não apresentou um aumento proporcional. O processo de combinações de negócios não teve influência na estrutura de capital das empresas. Os resultados da pesquisa mostram que os indicadores de desempenho sofreram variância no processo de combinação de negócios, exceto o valor de mercado e endividamento.

Este estudo objetivou analisar os indicadores utilizados para avaliar a gestão universitária. As publicações científicas nacionais e internacionais foram selecionadas 24 artigos que utilizavam indicadores de desempenho (11 nacionais e 13 internacionais) por meio do ProKnow-C. No período de 1987 a 2015. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, com abordagem qualitativa. Os resultados apontam: (i) um total de 354 indicadores (80% na literatura internacional), agrupados em quatro dimensões; (ii) 83% mensuram aspectos não financeiros; (iii) a Gestão concentra 42% dos indicadores predominando aspectos financeiros; (iv) o Ensino concentra 33% dos indicadores, sendo a maioria aspectos não financeiros; (v) a dimensão Extensão é representada por poucos indicadores, especialmente na literatura nacional; (vi) a maioria dos indicadores da Pesquisa envolve a mensuração da divulgação da pesquisa; e, (vii) há carência de indicadores que acompanhem a materialização das estratégias organizacionais e que deem conta de julgar o alcance das metas estabelecidas pelas universidades.

Este artigo tem como objetivo avaliar a evolução de resultados operacionais de organizações antes e depois de realizarem fusões, aquisições ou cisões, considerando estas atividades como movimentos adjacentes ou não ao seu core business com base na teoria de Zook (2003). Para isso, utilizou-se da pesquisa descritiva, de abordagem quantitativa, por meio da seleção de quatro casos emblemáticos. Os resultados mostraram que as organizações quando apresentaram projetos de expansão com movimentos adjacentes próximos ao core business ou quando realizaram cisões com objetivo de focar melhor seus core business, apresentaram valorização de suas ações em suas respectivas bolsas de valores.

Este estudo analisa que variáveis podem influenciar o nível de divulgação ambiental junto as maiores organizações transnacionais brasileira, segundo a Fundação Dom Cabral. Trata-se de um estudo exploratório-descritivo e documental, de abordagem quantitativa, cujo levantamento de dados, se deu a partir dos relatórios anuais, de sustentabilidade e formulários de referência publicados no período de 2013 a 2014 pelas 32 organizações analisadas e divulgados junto ao site da BM&FBOVESPA e nos seus sítios institucionais. Utilizou-se a regressão linear múltipla para análise dos dados.  Os resultados demonstraram que o grau de internacionalização é fator significativo para o nível de divulgação ambiental, confirmando-se a visão de que quanto maior os laços de Transnacionalidade existentes, maiores são a busca das empresas por alternativas capazes de estabelecer garantias relacionadas ao fortalecimento das relações com seus stakeholders. No entanto aspectos tais como: tamanho, endividamento, setor de atividade e desempenho não apresentaram relevância.

Researchers, journals, and universities want to receive more citations for their scholarly publications. However, a paper citations depend on its quality, visibility and author’s online profile. Research support documents (unpublished papers, white papers, project reports, datasets, software, posters, online resources and teaching materials) can be additional source for increasing the author’s visibility. To enhance research visibility and impact, the full range of scholarly output should be available online on the open access platform. With open access platform, key research findings are made accessible immediately to the scientific community. Therefore, the publicly available research support documents may result in receiving more citations in addition to the published papers. In this paper we conducted a simplified three stages study on the benefits of research support documents publications on open access platform. We also elaborated on approaches of improving your research visibility and impact through these document.
The Evacuation of Thai Citizens During Japan’s 2016 Kumamoto Earthquakes: An ICT Perspective

Published: June 2017

In April 2016, the Kumamoto earthquakes in Japan killed 50 people and injured more than 3,000. Because Japan is a primary tourist destination for Thai citizens, due in part to the current visa relaxation policy, many Thai people were visiting Japan when these earthquakes occurred. However, while a variety of public information related to the imminent danger and disaster response was broadcast and published, foreigners sometimes had little access to or understanding of local notices or instructions because of language barriers.

This study researches the evacuation process for Thai citizens – including tourists, students, and residents from Thailand – in the disaster-affected areas during the 2016 Kumamoto earthquakes. Through prompt collaboration among the relevant organizations, particularly the Royal Thai Embassy in Tokyo, the evacuation of Thai citizens was successfully completed within a few days. Moreover, some other foreigners were also assisted by the Thai embassy. This paper presents an overview of the evacuation process, including the critical role of information and communication technology (ICT) in disseminating information, transmitting rescue requests, and providing emergency communications. The lessons learned from these efforts can be applied in future natural disasters, especially for foreign organizations working in similar capacities overseas. In addition, this study suggests disaster preparedness and response guidelines for tourists when traveling overseas.
Severe Metal Hypersensitivity Following Internal Fixation of an Ankle Fracture
Authors: Kruckeberg Bradley M. , Ridley Taylor J. , Reichel Lee M.
Published: June 2017

Case:

A 67-year-old woman underwent internal fixation of an ankle fracture. Ten days postoperatively, the patient developed systemic hives, difficulty breathing, and oral swelling. At 8 weeks postoperatively, the hardware was removed because of a suspected metal hypersensitivity. Despite experiencing perioral edema and difficulty breathing after the hardware removal, she had complete resolution of the symptoms at the 2-week, 6-week, and 12-month follow-up appointments.

Conclusion:

Hypersensitivities to metal-based implants can develop and cause local and systemic reactions. Orthopaedic surgeons should inquire about a history of metal allergies, and possibly perform allergy testing for patients with a history suggestive of metal hypersensitivities. Consideration should be given for hospital admission following hardware removal for patient monitoring.
