Tales from the tailgate: The influence of fandom, musical tourism and pilgrimage on identity transformations
Authors: Erdely Jennifer L. , Breede Deborah Cunningham
Published: August 2017

To begin to understand travel – especially in the context of musical fandom – is to begin to understand self, to continue to create and work towards an understanding of multiple selves, and to seek out travel and musical tours. This seeking sustains and continues identity transformation. For fans touring as musical pilgrims, identity performances are intimately tied into the changes in locale that occur during these musical tours in the United States, especially in its south-east during the summer. Tourism sites and locales – like identities – are not fixed. Changing and shifting – much like the identities that comprise, populate and visit those destinations – those areas outside the advertised musical venues afford rich opportunities to further examine the interrelated nature of fandom, tourism, pilgrimage and identity.
The peacock manoeuvre: Ethnographic research on group behaviour among Danish ultras groups
Authors: Laursen Rasmus Beedholm
Published: August 2017

Most contemporary research on Danish football fandom has been conducted on hooliganism while research in other fan groups such as ultras is scarce. Although, some Danish ultras groups socialize with and occasionally engage in conflicts, this article suggests that ultras activities differ markedly from hooliganism despite that both fan segments is entitled ‘risk fans’. Based on a longitudinal three-year ongoing ethnography study of Danish ultras groups this article shows that ultras group members in certain situations instantly can change attitude from calm and peaceful to aggressive and confrontational. However, this article also illustrates that this transformation of behaviour rarely, if ever, escalates into psychical violence. Inspired by Erving Goffman’s theatrical theory, this article suggests that such aggressive ultras group behaviour is a performative act that primarily serves to intimidate or scare off rivals; rather than a genuine desire for demonstrating violent behaviour. To capture this performativity, this article uses the analogy of the peacock, which ‘puff itself up’ as a strategic manoeuvre to intimidate rivals and thereby avoid a physical confrontation. It is in this sense that the analogy is applied. Subsequently, this article ‘maps out’ the two typical social occasions where the manoeuvre unfolds.

Mengikat Makna Diskriminasi: Penyandang Cacat, Difabel, dan Penyandang Disabilitas
Authors: Maftuhin Arif
Published: August 2017

The research is about the ‘struggle’ to name persons with disabilities in Indonesia. As in other countries that find naming as an important tool in the fight for equality, Indonesia witnessed various naming influenced by the way people see disability and persons with disability.  The research is aimed at understanding which naming that is more popular in terms of its usage and how a term is used. The data are gathered from the online use of three words: penyandang cacat, difabel, dan penyandang disabilitas. It seeks to see the poplarity of the words in three different levels: their trends, popular use in the online news media, and their academic use in the journals and books. The method to gather and analyze the data is mostly helped by Google search engine and its rich features. The researh concluded that there has been a dynamic use of the words across the level. ‘Difabel’ is the most popular word in trend; ‘Penyandang Disabilitas’ shared the popularity with ‘Difabel’ among news media; and surprisingly ‘Penyandang Cacat’ is still the most used term among scholars.[Penelitian ini difokuskan untuk meneliti ‘perebutan makna’ dan penggunaan berbagai istilah terkait dengan difabel. Penelitian bertujuan melihat istilah mana yang paling banyak digunakan dan bagaimana istilah-istilah itu digunakan. Penelitian dilakukan dengan mengumpulkan data-data daring (online) terkait dengan tiga istilah kunci dalam wacana disabilitas di Indonesia: penyandang cacat, difabel, dan penyandang disabilitas. Penelitian dilakukan dengan mengumpulkan data-data online dan menganalisisinya dalam tiga aspek: tren penggunaan istilah; popularitas di dunia berita daring; dan penggunaan di dunia akademik. Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ada dinamika menarik dalam penggunaan ketiga istilah itu di ketiga wilayah pencarian. Istilah ‘difabel’, meskipun tidak diakui sebagai istilah resmi undang-undang, adalah istilah yang paling populer di tren. Sementara istilah ‘penyandang disabilitas’ mencatatkan skor popularitas yang sedikit lebih tinggi dari ‘difabel’ dalam penggunaan di media daring. Sementara istilah ‘penyandang cacat’ justru masih sangat populer dalam penggunaan akademik.]
Numerical analysis of ship motion under linear and nonlinear waves
Authors: Armudi Amanda , Marques Wiliam Correa , Oleinik Phelype Haron
Published: August 2017

Simulating physical phenomena by applying mathematical and numerical modeling has been increasingly used during the different stages of research and development and innovation projects. The purpose of this study is to present results about translational motion (x, y, z), angular motion (α, β, γ) and trajectories obtained using a numerical model developed to study ship dynamics under the influence of linear and nonlinear waves. The results indicated that translational motion, surge and sway, is mostly influenced by thrust in the studied scenario. The translational motion (heave) displayed curves which can be related with wave patterns before 0.1 hr. The angular motion distributions displayed a variation that can be related with wave forces. However, at 0.4 hr the curves depicted smaller variations that is explained by the increased engine thrust pattern. In both simulations, the distance of 20.582 km and 20.342 km for linear and nonlinear simulations were calculated, respectively. Once both simulations yielded similar values for travel distance, the wave patterns used in this study were shown to generate variations at the displacement from 0 to 0.4 hr. After 0.4 hr, the ship displacement depicted linear curves but the engine thrust was able to overcome the external forces.
Definição intervalar e análise de qualidade da função densidade de probabilidade da variável aleatória contínua com distribuição Beta
Authors: Maraschin Jr Dirceu Antonio , Finger Alice Fonseca , Loreto Aline Brum
Published: August 2017

Quando trabalhamos com cálculos numéricos em ambientes computacionais, operamos sobre números de ponto flutuante. Dessa forma, o resultado é apenas uma aproximação de um valor real e erros gerados por arredondamentos ou truncamentos podem levar a resultados incorretos, não podendo ser afirmada a exatidão das respostas sem o auxílio da análise de erro. Ao utilizar-se intervalos para representação de valores reais, torna-se possível controlar a propagação desses erros, pois resultados intervalares carregam consigo a segurança de sua qualidade. Para obter o valor numérico das funções densidade de probabilidade com distribuições se faz necessário o uso da integração numérica. Sendo o resultado obtido por aproximação, este é afetado por erros. Neste contexto, este trabalho possui o objetivo de definir a função densidade de probabilidade com distribuição Beta de forma intervalar utilizando o método de extensão intervalar para, posteriormente, implementar esta função usando linguagem de programação. A fim de verificar a qualidade dos resultados obtidos, uma análise de erro é realizada através do cálculo das métricas de erro relativo, erro absoluto e diâmetro dos intervalos. O objetivo é verificar e justificar que, ao usar a aritmética intervalar para calcular a função densidade de probabilidade com distribuição Beta, é possível ter um controle automático de erros com limites confiáveis. Somando-se a isso, pretende-se complementar a literatura, uma vez que já existem distribuições definidas em termos de intervalos. Através da análise de qualidade dos intervalos calculados, obteve-se resultados satisfatórios, com diâmetro pequeno e com erros absoluto e relativo que garantem a qualidade do intervalo.
Application of the ADO method on disadvantage-factor calculation for heterogeneous slab cells considering linear anisotropic scattering effects
Authors: Prolo Filho João Francisco , Rodrigues Marco Paulsen
Published: August 2017

In this work, the disadvantage-factor calculation is performed by a version of the Analytical Discrete Ordinates method (ADO method). For this, a class of one-dimenisional neutron transport problems in Cartesian geometry, with linearly anisotropic scattering effects in layered heterogeneous media, will be considered. The process consists in applying the angular discretization SN, converting the integro-differential transport equation into an ordinary differential equations system, which homogeneous solution is obtained by a quadratic eigenvalues problem with reduced order. To establish a closed form solution for this class of problems, particular solutions in terms of constants are used, as well as reflective boundary conditions and interface conditions. In order to validate the code, the method and to provide benchmark results, a class of two-layered problems is treated. A brief discussion on the influence of anisotropy is made and numerical aspects are discussed.

Published: August 2017

O presente trabalho apresenta um estudo numérico bidimensional sobre a região de transição entre a câmara hidropneumática e a chaminé de um dispositivo conversor do tipo Coluna de Água Oscilante (CAO). O objetivo é maximizar a potência hidropneumática, considerando uma geometria semicircular na região de transição do dispositivo CAO, situada entre a câmara hidropneumática e a chaminé do mesmo. Os resultados são comparados através do valor de potência hidropneumática, para as diferentes configurações geométricas investigadas. O Design Construtal, atrelado ao método de busca exaustiva, foi empregado para definir as dimensões que maximizam a potência hidropneumática. Os graus de liberdade estudados foram o raio (r), a razão entre altura e comprimento da chaminé de saída de ar da câmara CAO (H2/l) e a razão entre a altura e o comprimento da câmara CAO (H1/L). O domínio computacional é representado por um tanque de ondas com o dispositivo CAO acoplado. O software FLUENT foi empregado para a solução numérica das equações, baseada no Método dos Volumes Finitos (MVF). A construção da geometria e a geração da malha foram realizadas no software GAMBIT. Na interação entre as fases ar e água foi aplicado o método Volume of Fluid (VOF). Os resultados obtidos mostram que a máxima potência hidropneumática de 190,61W é obtida para os graus de liberdade H1/L = 0,1346 e r = 7,54, o caso com a mais baixa potência hidropnemática, apresenta 57,73W. Este resultado mostra um ganho de 69,90% em relação ao caso com menor desempenho de potência hidropneumática.

Authors: Silva Vinicius Montenegro , De Mattos Viviane Leite Dias
Published: August 2017

A regressão linear pode ser utilizada para determinar o padrão de variação estacional de uma série temporal, o que pode ser feito por meio do método dos mínimos quadrados. Este método consiste em minimizar a soma dos quadrados dos resíduos obtidos pela diferença entre valores observados e valores preditos, o que pode ser feito para diversos modelos lineares. Este estudo ajusta um modelo polinomial de regressão linear múltipla a uma série temporal em que existe uma quebra estrutural, avaliando seu desempenho por meio de alguns indicadores de qualidade: coeficiente de determinação, teste de hipóteses para os coeficientes do modelo, além de análise gráfica dos resíduos. O método possibilitou encontrar um modelo polinomial de sexta ordem para modelar o comportamento da série estudada: o número de professores na escola primária no Brasil, no período entre 1999 e 2014.

Published: August 2017

O propósito do trabalho é analisar a influência dos parâmetros geométricos sobre a dissipação de calor de um perfil bidimensional com uma cavidade multi-bifurcada mantendo a área da cavidade constante. A simulação numérica foi realizada através da solução da equação da difusão do calor com MEF. Foi calculado o campo de distribuição de temperaturas no regime permanente e com geração de calor interna fixa e foi assumido que a transferência de calor no sólido ocorreu por condução. A geometria da cavidade foi gerada por um sistema de funções iteradas e um algoritmo foi implementado para testar diferentes ângulos de bifurcação, tamanho de cada braço de ramificação e número de iterações para geração da geometria. Entre as cavidades testadas foi possível determinar uma geometria ótima que serve de recomendação teórica para construção de possíveis perfis para troca de calor.

Background:

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test is of paramount importance as a diagnostic tool for the detection and monitoring of patients with prostate cancer. In the presence of interfering factors such as heterophilic antibodies or anti-PSA antibodies the PSA test can yield significantly falsified results. The prevalence of these factors is unknown.

Methods:

We determined the recovery of PSA concentrations diluting patient samples with a standard serum of known PSA concentration. Based on the frequency distribution of recoveries in a pre-study on 268 samples, samples with recoveries <80% or >120% were defined as suspect, re-tested and further characterized to identify the cause of interference.

Results:

A total of 1158 consecutive serum samples were analyzed. Four samples (0.3%) showed reproducibly disturbed recoveries of 10%, 68%, 166% and 4441%. In three samples heterophilic antibodies were identified as the probable cause, in the fourth anti-PSA-autoantibodies. The very low recovery caused by the latter interference was confirmed in serum, as well as heparin- and EDTA plasma of blood samples obtained 6 months later. Analysis by eight different immunoassays showed recoveries ranging between <10% and 80%. In a follow-up study of 212 random plasma samples we found seven samples with autoantibodies against PSA which however did not show any disturbed PSA recovery.

Conclusions:

About 0.3% of PSA determinations by the electrochemiluminescence assay (ECLIA) of Roche diagnostics are disturbed by heterophilic or anti-PSA autoantibodies. Although they are rare, these interferences can cause relevant misinterpretations of a PSA test result.
Hair testing of GHB: an everlasting issue in forensic toxicology
Authors: Busardò Francesco Paolo , Pichini Simona , Zaami Simona , Pacifici Roberta , Kintz Pascal
Published: August 2017

Background:

In this paper, the authors present a critical review of different studies regarding hair testing of endogenous γ-hydroxybutyrate (GHB), concentrations in chronic users, and values measured after a single GHB exposure in drug facilitated sexual assault (DFSA) cases together with the role of a recently identified GHB metabolite, GHB-glucuronide.

Content:

The following databases (up to March 2017) PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science were used, searching the following key words: γ-hydroxybutyrate, GHB, GHB glucuronide, hair. The main key words “GHB” and “γ-hydroxybutyrate” were searched singularly and then associated individually to each of the other keywords.

Of the 2304 sources found, only 20 were considered appropriate for the purpose of this paper. Summing up all the studies investigating endogenous GHB concentration in hair, a very broad concentration range from 0 to 12 ng/mg was found. In order to detect a single GHB dose in hair it is necessary to commonly wait 1 month for collecting hair and a segmental analysis of 3 or 5 mm fragments and the calculation of a ratio between the targeted segment and the others represent a reliable method to detect a single GHB intake considering that the ratios presently proposed vary from 3 and 10. The only two studies so far performed, investigating GHB-Glucuronide in hair, show that the latter does not seem to provide any diagnostic information regarding GHB exposure.

Outlook:

A practical operative protocol is proposed to be applied in all suspected cases of GHB-facilitated sexual assault (GHB-FSA).
Effect of ozonation on composting Japanese cedar wood meal
Authors: Sugimoto Tomoko , Hosoya Shuji , Yamamoto Koichi , Oosawa Satoshi , Tanaka Akihiro , Yakushido Kenichi
Published: August 2017

Ozonized Japanese cedar wood meal was evaluated as a feedstock for compost. The composting experiment performed in a 1.8 m3 tank during a 4-week period showed that the decomposition of organics was accelerated by the ozonation of wood meal during thermophilic phase. The same is true for decay test of white-rot (WR) fungus. The tested brown-rot (BR) fungus did not show any effect. Accordingly, the lignin degradation by ozone is advantageous for composting. In addition, liberation of ammonia, one source of odor development, was suppressed during the thermophilic phase of composting of ozonized wood meal.

Published: August 2017

Objective

This study aims at investigating factors affecting oral health patterns, attitudes and health risk behaviors among female university students.

Methods

An online questionnaire was distributed to female university students in Al Madinah in the western region of Saudi Arabia. Students were requested to answer questions on demographic data, oral hygiene practices, dental attendance, smoking history, practice of sports and body weight and height.

Results

Two hundred and fourteen students participated with age range of 18–31 years (mean = 21.64 ± 1.72 years). Oral hygiene habits were reported by a percentage of 97.2%, 34.6%, 30.8% and 19.2% who used a tooth brush, dental floss, mouthwash, and a miswak (a teeth cleaning twig made from theSalvadora persicatree), respectively. The only factor that was significantly associated with a good oral hygiene level was a university major of non-healthcare specialties (p = 0.009).

Conclusion

It is concluded that female university students use various oral hygiene methods, however, dental attendance is poor and a number of health risk factors are noticed like smoking, lack of practicing sport and unhealthy body mass index (BMI).
Overcoming Extreme Poverty by Social Protection Floors – Approaches to Closing the Right to Social Security Gap
Authors: Kaltenborn Markus
Published: August 2017

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development contains a very ambitious poverty reduction schedule: According to Sustainable Development Goal 1 extreme poverty shall be completely eradicated within the next 15 years (SDG 1.1), and also other forms of poverty shall be reduced within the same period at least by half the proportion of men, women and children of all ages (SDG 1.2). Governments are requested to “(i)mplement nationally appropriate social protection systems and measures for all, including floors, and by 2030 achieve substantial coverage of the poor and the vulnerable” (SDG 1.3). The authors of the Agenda refer to the concept of so-called social protection floors which has been identified as an important instrument in the fight against extreme poverty and therefore has attracted much attention in recent development policy debates. In June 2012 the General Conference of the International Labour Organization (ILO) had adopted the Social Protection Floors Recommendation. In this document ILO members are urged, as a first step, to establish basic social security guarantees, including access to essential health care and basic income security for all residents of their countries and, as a second step, to systematically extend these basic social security guarantees into more comprehensive strategies. If we look for legal answers to the global challenge of extreme poverty, then social protection law – and in particular the human right to social security – deserves special attention. Based on the research framework which has been presented by Haglund and Stryker in their book Closing the Rights Gap. From Human Rights to Social Transformation (2015) this article will try to analyze which role the legal systems in the Global South will play in implementing SDG 1 at the national level and in closing the “right to social security-gap”. Haglund and Stryker describe, inter alia, two models for social rights realization which represent alternative approaches to the MDG/SDG concept: (a) the so-called multistage spiral model whose main focus lies on the different phases which new norms have to go through when they are implemented in a state’s society, and (b) the “policy legalization model” which highlights the role of litigation in ensuring social rights compliance. Furthermore the article will deal with the responsibility of the international community in this area of development policy.
Justice and the Common Good in Dispute Resolution Discourse in the United States and the People’s Republic of China
Authors: Murphy Tim
Published: August 2017

Rule of Law development initiatives typically include a preference for formal or State law over informal or customary law. In dispute resolution initiatives, formal court-based adjudication is regarded as the process most likely to promote economic development and certainly as preferable to less formal mechanisms such as mediation. This article compares formal and informal methods of dispute resolution with specific reference to the trajectories of adjudication in the United States and mediation in China. Whereas adjudication seeks generally to resolve disputes in accordance with justice, understood in classical Western thought as the rendering to each what is due, informal dispute resolution is oriented more towards the common good, understood classically as the maintenance of a peaceful social order that allows people to pursue their individual and collective goals in community. These conceptions of justice and the common good are not uncontroversial but their ideologies play a significant role in dispute resolution discourse in both the US and China. This article suggests that developments in each of these jurisdictions have brought about relatively successful pluralist or “hybrid” dispute resolution systems, a suggestion that speaks against any general or fixed preference in dispute resolution initiatives for formal over informal processes.
Developmental State No Birth Right: South Africa’s Post-1994 Economic Development Story
Authors: Pooe T. K.
Published: August 2017

This paper explores how South Africa despite having one of the most lauded constitutions and legal frameworks in the world has been unable to advance as a developmental state in economic development and institutional building endeavours. The contention of this paper is that the South African government, prioritising law and development, did so at the expense of institutional building for economic development purposes. Law and development is conceptualised in this paper as States prioritising liberal actions such as separation of powers (judiciary, executive and legislature) and human rights. Consequently, this paper is not arguing against some of the tenants characterising the law and development agenda. Rather it asks, did South Africa lose its credentials as a possible developmental state by prioritising law and development initiatives over building developmental state institutions for local economic development purposes in particular? Ultimately, this paper contends that for South Africa to become a functional developmental state it needs to reconsider its constitutional/law and development aspirations, in favour of reconfiguring government institutions to prioritise economic development.
Clientelism, Law and Politics. Considerations in the Light of the Argentine Case
Authors: Rivas Pedro
Published: August 2017

The purpose of this article is, on the one hand, to explain what clientelism is through a description of its characteristics in its current Argentinean form. On the other hand, it will evaluate clientelism from a legal and political point of view. In order to achieve these purposes, we will distinguish clientelism from legitimate politics, and then offer a critical evaluation in case there were any differences. Regarding the first objective, it will be necessary to resort to some kind of canonical definition, broad enough to grasp different clientelistic phenomena. Then, it will be possible to explain its Argentinean particularities, noting that it happens to be a specially interesting kind of clientelism because of its refinement and breadth. As to the second objective, we will oppose to the reasoning that equates clientelism and legitimate types of political action. We will argue that ordinary politics is different and that, in fact, this difference turns clientelism illegitimate. Criticism against clientelism may include empirical approaches but, as these only show deficiencies of a particular public policy, they lack the ability to be extended to other cases. Alternative criticism may be more interesting, but it will necessarily be weaker as it may only reveal a model of citizens and political relations upon which clientelism is grounded.

Nonviolent Resistance and Peaceful Turnover of Power
Authors: Bethke Felix S.
Published: August 2017

Previous research has shown that nonviolent resistance (NVR) campaigns are beneficial for democratization. However, research to date has not considered whether nonviolent revolutions succeed long term in bringing about democratic consolidation. In this paper, I address this gap by analyzing the effect of NVR on democratic consolidation, using data on Huntington’s consolidation criteria of two peaceful turnovers of power. The results suggest that initiating a democratic transition through NVR is not necessarily beneficial for achieving the first peaceful turnover of power. However, given that a democratic regime achieved a successful first turnover of power, NVR substantially increases the probability of completing democratic consolidation through a second peaceful turnover of power.

Ramos, GP, Nakamura, FY, Penna, EM, Wilke, CF, Pereira, LA, Loturco, I, Capelli, L, Mahseredjian, F, Silami-Garcia, E, and Coimbra, CC. Activity profiles in U17, U20, and senior women's Brazilian national soccer teams during international competitions: are there meaningful differences? J Strength Cond Res 33(12): 3414–3422, 2019—The aim of this study was to compare locomotor activity profiles of Brazilian top-class female soccer players competing at distinct age brackets (under 17 [U17], under [U20], and senior). External match load of 14 U17, 14 U20, and 17 senior female soccer players competing in 6–7 full official international matches were assessed using global positioning systems. Total distance covered, distance covered in high intensity (15.6–20 km·h−1), distance covered in sprints (sprint: >20 km·h−1), number of accelerations (Acc) >1 m·s−2, decelerations (Dec) >−1 m·s−2, and Player Load generally increased across the age brackets (U17 <U20 <senior). For all playing positions, senior athletes presented greater total distance, accelerations, and decelerations than U20 players. For high-intensity distance and sprints, only central defender and midfielder senior players presented greater values than U20 players. Senior players demonstrated higher values in all locomotor activities in comparison to U17 players, irrespective of playing positions. Except for central defenders who presented similar total distance, sprint distance, and number of accelerations between U20 and U17, most match external loads evaluated in all playing positions were greater in U20 than in U17 players. These results provide useful information for player development and should be used to establish appropriate match-specific conditioning drills according to age categories.

El desarrollo industrial y el crecimiento poblacional están generando la sobreproducción de residuos. En ocasiones estos residuos, aunque inertes, se disponen a cielo abierto causando alteraciones al ambiente, particularmente en el paisaje. Llantas, sobrantes de construcción como pedazos de tubería y tierra, material de poda de arreglos de zonas verdes, bolsas plásticas, son ejemplos de algunos de los residuos que pueden llegar a encontrarse. En este trabajo se evaluó el uso de estos residuos en la preparación de muestras de mampuestos de concreto y de tierra que fueron ensayados a compresión mediante la construcción de muretes. Los resultados demostraron que los especímenes de concreto aligerados presentaron una mayor resistencia a compresión que los especímenes en tierra modificada. Se enfatiza en la importancia de tomar medidas ambientales para aprovechamiento de residuos con el fin de disminuir los impactos ambientales generados por la inadecuada disposición de estos.

Arqueología: una reflexión en torno a la producción académica en el Seminario de Historia Rural Andina
Authors: Alí Chávez Amparo
Published: August 2017

Los estudios multidisciplinarios del Seminario de Historia Rural Andina han promovido el conocimiento en temas arqueológicos andinos y amazónicos, siendo Pacopampa (Chota, Querocoto, Cajamarca) un eje principal de estudio dentro del área de la arqueología desde mediados de la década de 1960. Ello ha permitido dar alcances sobre la problemática cronológica del período Formativo, además de la descripción, prospección y excavación del sitio arqueológico. Desde la década de 1970 hasta la actualidad las publicaciones de diferentes arqueólogos han permitido conocer diferentes investigaciones sobre el arte (iconografía, rituales e instrumentos musicales) y la economía prehispánica (optimización de la agricultura colonial y el uso de sistema hidráulico prehispánico asociado a humedales en la costa peruana).

Archaeology: reflections about the scientific contribution of the Seminario de Historia Rural Andina

The multidisciplinary approach of the Seminario de Historia Rural Andina had encouraged the study of Andean and Amazonian archaeology, and the archaeological project of Pacopampa has remained emblematic since the decade of 1960. As a result significant data about its chronology and the cultural components of this Formative period site have been produced so far. In addition, other studies have provided valuable data about prehispanic art, economics and water management on the coast.

Keywords: Peruvian Archaeology; Pacopampa; Formative; Seminar of Andean Rural History.
Religiosity and Entrepreneurial Intention
Authors: Wibowo Buddi
Published: August 2017

Religion and economic activities relationship is an evolving research topic in economics. Secular world-view usually put a side religiosity as just one of non-economic factors. However, religiosity is an important individual characteristic that has significant influence in shaping daily life decisions. Entrepreneurial intentions among undergraduates students need deeper study in order to reveal entrepreneurial intention formation model, intention determinant variables, how those variables interact each other, and how individual religiosity affect intention formation process and intention strength level. Based on Structural Equation Model, personal attitudes and social norms are the most important variables influencing entrepreneurial intentions, besides perceived behavioral control. These three variables are the most important entrepreneurial intentions determinant variable that direcly are influenced by personal beliefs about these factors. Religiosity plays an important role in entrepreneurial intention. Empirical test show that religious student group has stronger personal attitude towards entrepreneurial activity dan perceived behavior control compared to irreligious group.DOI: 10.15408/etk.v16i2.4963

High-Flow Nasal Cannula in Bronchiolitis: Modeling the Economic Effects of a Ward-Based Protocol
Authors: Collins Catherine , Chan Titus , Roberts Joan S. , Haaland Wren L. , Wright Davene R.
Published: August 2017

OBJECTIVES:

High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) use has increased in patients with bronchiolitis, with the majority of use restricted to the ICU. Broadening HFNC to the wards may have substantial economic implications. This study compares the cost of a standardized clinical pathway that permits HFNC use in the wards for patients with bronchiolitis with an ICU-only HFNC care model.

METHODS:

We constructed a decision analytic model to simulate 2 options for treating bronchiolitic patients: one in which HFNC is used in the wards (ward HFNC) and one in which HFNC is restricted to the ICU (ICU HFNC). The model inputs were based on patients admitted with bronchiolitis without major comorbidities between 2010 and 2015. 1432 patients were included for analysis. We simulated 10 000 patients for 5000 trials to assess parameter variability and sampling uncertainty, respectively. The primary outcome was average admission cost per patient. The secondary outcome was average length of stay (LOS) per patient.

RESULTS:

In the model, the average admission cost per patient for the ward HFNC group was $7020 (95% confidence interval [CI] $6840–$7194) compared with $7626 (95% CI $7427–$7839) in the ICU HFNC group, with a net difference of $606 (95% CI $408–$795). The average LOS for the ward HFNC group was 2.29 days (95% CI 2.24–2.33) compared with 2.61 days (95% CI 2.56–2.66) in the ICU HFNC group, with a net difference of 0.32 days (95% CI 0.27–0.37).

CONCLUSIONS:

Using HFNC in the ward for bronchiolitis may be cost-effective and may decrease LOS compared with ICU-only HFNC.
Gesto autoral: fiador para experiências significativas no ensino de criação publicitária
Authors: Hansen Fábio , Correa Rodrigo Stéfani , Petermann Juliana
Published: August 2017

Neste artigo, porção de um estudo longitudinal apoiado pelo MCTI/CNPq e realizado em parceria interinstitucional entre a UFPR, a UFPE e a UFSM, refletimos sobre possíveis dimensões para experiências significativas no ensino de criação publicitária: narrativas de si, distanciamento das práticas mercadológicas em publicidade, formação de repertório, ludicidade, personalização. Partindo de uma concepção discursiva, de orientação pecheutiana, operamos teoricamente com os conceitos de autoria e de lugar discursivo. Portanto, é sob a égide de tais noções que aglutinamos as discussões acerca de reconfigurações no ensino de criação publicitária, na instância dos sujeitos do conhecimento (professor e estudante). Defendemos que a prática docente proporcione situações de aprendizagem para deslizamentos de sentidos e para a inserção do estudante no jogo discursivo, afiançando experiências significativas por meio do gesto autoral.
