DIAGNÓSTICO DO RISCO DE DEGRADAÇÃO DOS GEOSSÍTIOS DE INTERESSE PALEONTOLÓGICO EM GEOSSÍTIOS DA QUARTA COLÔNIA (RS)
Authors: Ziemann Djulia Regina , Figueiró Adriano Severo
Published: May 2018

Os fósseis da região da Quarta Colônia na Mesorregião Centro-Oriental Rio-Grandense, têm sua importância reconhecida internacionalmente por tratarem-se de um registro bem preservado do Período Triássico. Todavia, o estado de abandono e os danos causados em muitos geossítios de interesse paleontológico são motivos de preocupação, pois há um alto risco de destruição do geopatrimônio, o que poderá impedir que os fósseis venham a estar disponíveis para pesquisas e desta forma de contarem a história pretérita daquele territótio. Neste sentido, o presente trabalho analisa a atual situação destes geossítios que fazem parte do projeto Geoparque Quarta Colônia, definindo uma proposta de quantificação do risco de degradação e propondo medidas de intervenção primárias. A partir da pesquisa realizada, constatou-se que a maioria dos geossítios possui risco de degradação médio e alto, o que pode ser considerado como indicativo quanto à necessidade imediata de medidas de proteção para que as pesquisas nestes locais possam ter continuidade.
EXPANSÃO DO AGROHIDRONEGÓCIO CANAVIEIRO NO PONTAL DO PARANAPANEMA E IMPLICAÇÕES PARA A SAÚDE DOS ASSENTADOS

Published: May 2018

O Pontal do Paranapanema é um território composto por terras devolutas e griladas fonte de disputas entre latifundiários, grupos empresariais do agrohidronegócio canavieiro e movimentos de luta pela reforma agrária. O processo recente de expansão da atividade sucroalcooleira na região levou ao “cercamento”, pelos canaviais, dos assentamentos ali existentes. Como consequência desse processo os assentados denunciam a ocorrência de intoxicação da população e prejuízos na produção pela aplicação de agrotóxicos por via aérea. Quando a renda obtida no lote é insuficiente para a reprodução familiar e para o melhoramento da atividade agrícola desenvolvida, os assentados buscam emprego no setor canavieiro. Como atualmente o processo de colheita da cana encontra-se em fase avançada de mecanização, eles podem atuar nas mais variadas funções: como tratoristas, operadores de colhedeiras, motoristas, dentre outros. Esse artigo visa compreender algumas repercussões da expansão do agrohidronegócio canavieiro na produção e na saúde das famílias assentadas que vivem praticamente “cercadas” pela monocultura na região do Pontal de Paranapanema e demonstrar como a forma de inserção dos trabalhadores em novas funções do processo produtivo canavieiro pode contribuir para seu adoecimento. Para tanto se utilizou a pesquisa bibliográfica, a análise do conteúdo de entrevistas realizadas pela equipe do Centro de Estudos sobre Trabalho Ambiente e Saúde (CETAS) e o exemplo de caso de um trabalhador assentado agregado1, que já passou por inúmeras experiências de trabalho no setor canavieiro.
CONTRIBUIÇÕES DAS DIVERSAS LINGUAGENS AO ENSINO DE GEOGRAFIA NA ESCOLA BÁSICA
Authors: De Almeida David Luiz Rodrigues
Published: May 2018

Este artigo pretende contribuir com o debate proposto pelo “III Encontro Regional de Práticas Ensino de Geografia (EREPEG): retrospectivas e perspectivas curriculares para o ensino de Geografia” com a discussão realizada na mesa-redonda intitulada “Ensino de Geografia: práticas e experiências curriculares”. Este trabalho corresponde a questões iniciais de uma pesquisa de doutorado em Geografia, no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Geografia da UFPB, iniciada em 2016, que tem como enfoque a contribuição do Programa Institucional de Bolsa de Iniciação à Docência (PIBID) para a formação inicial de professores de Geografia. Além disso, procuramos refletir acerca da construção identitária do projeto de juventudes com esses pibidianos no desenvolvimento de sua profissionalização para o magistério. Para tanto, objetivamos discutir em que medida o PIBID contribui com a formação inicial dos professores de Geografia considerando a construção dos seus saberes docentes: conhecimentos de geografia, pedagógicos-didáticos e experienciais na consolidação da práxis pedagógica (NÓVOA, 2009; TARDIF, 2010; PIMENTA, 2012). Consequentemente, temos como pressuposto que a consolidação e defesa da profissão do magistério são constituídas em diferentes espaços: desde o escolar, onde se desenvolvem os subprojetos do PIBID, até nas manifestações de cunho virtual e presencial em defesa desta política pública. Cada um deles pode auxiliar na constituição da identidade do “ser jovem”, “ser pibidiano” e “ser professor”.
CONTRIBUIÇÕES DAS DIVERSAS LINGUAGENS AO ENSINO DE GEOGRAFIA NA ESCOLA BÁSICA

Published: May 2018

O presente artigo propõe uma reflexão acerca da Geografia escolar, na perspectiva de fomentar algumas possibilidades de dinamização do seu ensino, a partir da utilização das diferentes linguagens geográficas. Para alcançar tais objetivos, além de uma breve discussão acerca da importância do acervo de linguagens disponíveis para tal ensino, relatam-se algumas experiências desenvolvidas a partir do Subprojeto de Geografia/PIBID, da Universidade Estadual da Paraíba, desenvolvidas com base na Pedagogia de Projetos, buscando oportunizar a aprendizagem geográfica e minimizar os problemas de deficit de atenção detectados nas turmas participantes, algumas delas caracterizadas por grande dispersão e hiperatividade de parte significativa dos alunos. De forma geral, pode-se afirmar que os resultados da utilização das linguagens no ensino de Geografia vêm sendo satisfatórios, dependendo das características de cada turma e associadas ao domínio do conteúdo e criatividade dos alunos bolsistas do PIBID. Deve-se ressaltar, entretanto, que a intenção neste espaço não é de propor a reprodução de receitas no ensino a partir das linguagens utilizadas, mas fomentar possibilidades na busca por melhorias no processo de ensino e aprendizagem em Geografia.
A BNCC PARA O ENSINO DE GEOGRAFIA: A PROPOSTA DAS CIÊNCIAS HUMANAS E DA INTERDISCIPLINARIDADE
Authors: Portela Mugiany Oliveira Brito
Published: May 2018

Este artigo procura explanar as implicações do uso da terminologia Ciências Humanas para o ensino de Geografia, conforme a proposta da Base Nacional Comum Curricular – BNCC (BRASIL, 2016), posta como novo rumo curricular para a educação brasileira. Nessa acepção, surgem alguns questionamentos: quais seriam as razões para se colocar a disciplina escolar de Geografia em conjunto com as ciências humanas? Em que medida a interdisciplinaridade explica essa relação? E, como tal orientação poderá intervir na formação de professores? Dito isso, organizou-se os seguintes objetivos: compreender como se deu a construção de um projeto de educação geográfica nacional e as relações com a BNCC, e analisar a proposta do ensino de Geografia nas Ciências Humanas e as possíveis consequências para a formação inicial de professores. Para tanto, recorreu-se à leitura de documentos elaborados pelo MEC e à visão de Foucault (1999) e Santos Boaventura (2010) sobre Ciências Humanas, bem como à interpretação de alguns autores que discutem questões referentes ao currículo e ao ensino de Geografia. Como resultados, elaborou-se uma reflexão a respeito da necessidade de manter a disciplina de Geografia com sua respectiva identidade escolar, de a interdisciplinaridade ser melhor compreendida para sua efetivação em ambiente escolar e de a formação de professores desempenhar o papel fundamental em orientar os futuros professores a atuarem como profissionais do ensino de Geografia, como disciplina escolar.
The impact of intellectual capital on the profitability of commercial banks in Serbia
Authors: Radic Sinisa
Published: May 2018

The subject of the research in this paper is the impact of intellectual
capital efficiency on the profitability of commercial banks in the Republic
of Serbia. The efficiency of commercial banks? intellectual capital was
measured by the created value added in the observed period, using the Value
Added Intellectual Coefficient methodology (VAIC). Empirical analysis was
carried out using econometric analysis of panel data for 27 banks that were
operating in the banking sector of the Republic of Serbia in the period
2008-2016. The results of the analysis show that the significance of the
impact of the efficient use of intellectual capital on the profitability of
banks operating in Serbia depends on the selected profitability measure.
When ROA is chosen as an indicator of profitability the bank?s level of
indebtedness determines the sign of this influence, so at higher levels of
indebtedness efficient use of intellectual capital negatively affects the
profitability of the bank. On the other hand, in this case the size of the
bank does not significantly affect the dependence of the bank?s
profitability on the efficient use of its intellectual capital. If ROE is a
measure of the profitability of banks the efficient use of intellectual
capital has no significant impact on banks? profitability.
Determinants of female entrepreneurship in Iran: An institutional approach
Authors: Khyareh Mohsen
Published: May 2018

The purpose of this paper is to analyse the factors that influence female
entrepreneurship (opportunity and necessity entrepreneurship) in Iran, using
institutional economics as the theoretical framework. The empirical research
uses the Logit Model and the Multinomial Logit Model to analyse a dataset
for Iran based on the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) and covering the
period 2011-2015. The study concludes that informal factors (fear of
failing, entrepreneurial skills, and female networks) are more relevant to
female entrepreneurship than formal factors (education and start-up
capital). The research recommends that policymakers consider the
institutional factors that affect female entrepreneurship in Iran and design
support policies to foster female entrepreneurial activity.

Authors: Saheb Nouari , Khan Muhammad
Published: May 2018

In this work, compressive and thermal properties of aluminum, milled
aluminum, and Al-10Al2O3 composite processed via ball milling (BM) and spark
plasma sintering (SPS) were investigated. The microstructural features of
powders and sintered samples were characterized using optical and scanning
electron microscopy. A universal testing machine was used to determine the
compressive properties of the consolidated samples. The thermal conductivity
and coefficient of thermal expansion of the developed materials were
characterized using a hot disc thermal constant analyzer and a dilatometer,
respectively. The Al-10Al2O3 composite possessed hardness of 1309.7 MPa,
yield strength of 311.4 MPa, and compressive strength of 432.87 MPa compared
to hardness of 326.3 MPa, yield strength of 74.33 MPa, and compressive
strength of 204.43 MPa for aluminum. The Al-10Al2O3 composite had thermal
conductivity value 81.42 W/mK compared to value of 198.09 W/mK for aluminum.
In the temperature range from 373 K to 723 K, the composite had lower CTEs
ranging from 10 ? 10?6 to 22 ? 10?6/K compared to 20 ? 10?6 to 30 ? 10?6/K
for aluminum.

Authors: Gauna Matías , Conconi María , Suarez Gustavo , Aglietti Esteban , Rendtorff Nicolás
Published: May 2018

In this work, a simple milling sintering route (pressure less) to process
dense zircon ceramics from fine (D50 0.8 ?m) zircon powders is explored.
Particularly, the milling time effect (0-120 min) and the maximum sintering
temperature (1400-1600?C) were studied. The sintering grade developed
microstructure and Vickers hardness (Hv) were evaluated and correlated. The
dissociation of silicate into (monoclinic and tetragonal) zirconia and
silica was evaluated by X-ray diffraction followed by the Rietveld method;
it was found to be below 10 wt% in all the studied ranges. The sintering was
enhanced by the milling pretreatment. No sintering additives were
incorporated. Dense zircon (porosity below 1%) ceramics were obtained by a
simple milling-sintering route of this high refractory powder at 100-200?C
below the sintering temperature used with conventional processing routes to
obtain equivalent final properties. The Vickers hardness reached: 9.0 GPa.
Effect of B4C reinforcement ratio and sintering temperature on the mechanical behavior in Al-B4C composites
Authors: Pul Muharrem
Published: May 2018

In this study, powders of Al 1070 and B4C were prepared by volume in three
different reinforcement ratios 4 % B4C, 8 % B4C and 16 % B4C compacted under
the pressure of 500 MPa with cold pressing method then sintered under the
temperatures of 500, 550 and 600?C. Then the hardness was measured and wear
test was performed using pin-on-disk method. In the results of tests, the
compression pressure of 500 MPa was not sufficient for composite structure
to achieve the required density. The highest hardness values were achieved
at sintering temperature of 550?C and in 8 % B4C reinforced composite. The
highest wear rate was measured in 4% B4C reinforced composite specimen
sintered at 600?C. It is determined that a sintering temperature above 550?C
had adverse effects on the mechanical properties.

Authors: Kokunesoski Maja , Bascarevic Zvezdana , Rakocevic Zlatko , Saponjic Aleksandra , Saponjic Djordje , Jordanov Dragana , Babic Biljana
Published: May 2018

Mesoporous silica SBA-15 materials of high specific surface area (~700 m2
g?1) were synthesized by using block copolymer Pluronic P123 as template and
tetraethoxysilane as silica source. The obtained materials were
characterized by XRD, nitrogen adsorption - desorption measurements, SEM,
EDS and AFM analysis. It was found that small modifications of synthesis
conditions influenced the morphological features of the synthesized SBA-15
samples. The SEM analysis had shown that the SBA-15 synthesized at lower
temperature and longer time of reaction (80?C, 48 h) provided elongated
rod-shaped grains about 1?m long. The other sample synthesized at higher
temperature and shorter time of reaction (100 ?C, 24 h) had rounded grains
and grains of regular spherical shape with diameters ranging from 0.5 to 2
?m. The EDS analysis confirmed that the particles of both synthesized
samples were of the SiO2 content. In addition, the AFM analysis had shown
different surface morphologies of the materials synthesized under various
conditions.
Social status of the Roma in Serbia: Demographic aspects in public multiculturalism policies
Authors: Basic Goran , Markovic Ksenija
Published: May 2018

Multiculturalism policy in Serbia is an example of compromises made by
monoculturalists between the issues surpassing the conservative paradigm of
tolerance for ethnic and cultural differences and the normative protection
of their identities. An unsystematised approach to shaping multiculturalism
policy led to disregard or misinterpretation of demographic factors.
Through the examples of how the rights to ethnic and cultural identities are
obstructed for the Bosniak population in Priboj and Aromanians in Serbia,
and the analysis of problems stemming from the centralist organisation of
minority self-governments, the paper points to the weaknesses of the current
multiculturalism policy and the need for introducing demographic criteria
for it to be brought into line with the nature of multiethnicity in the
country. The paper points to the issues and difficulties arising from this
for the Roma national minority in the realisation of their rights. Despite
of being a large national minority, its members are not able to enjoy full
cultural autonomy because the realisation of rights is not in line with the
demographic characteristics of the Roma. A reform of the multiculturalism
policy would remove the existing obstacles and enable effective protection
of ethnic, cultural and linguistic identities of minorities.

Authors: Ünüvar Songül , Tanrıverdi Zübeyde , Aslanhan Hamza
Published: May 2018

Background: An increase in neopterin concentrations is known in some pathologies due to interferon-gamma (INF-γ) activation. These include viral and bacterial infections, auto immune diseases, metabolic diseases, psychiatric disorders, tissue and organ rejections, and different malignancies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of neopterin as a prognostic biomarker in type 2 diabetes, which is a metabolic disease with a high worldwide prevalence.

Methods: The study included a total of one hundred thirtynine individuals including one hundred and six patients admitted to a family medicine outpatient clinic and diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and thirty-three healthy volunteers. Serum neopterin concentrations were measured using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

Results: Serum neopterin levels significantly increased in type 2 diabetes patients, compared to the control group (p<0.001).

Conclusions: Early diagnosis of diabetes and determination of the appropriate therapeutic options are of utmost importance, as diabetes is also associated with other systemic diseases. The risk of developing secondary diseases is high in untreated patients. Our study results suggest that serum neopterin may be a useful biomarker in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Published: May 2018

Background: Metformin, a widely used biguanide class of anti-diabetic drug, has potential to increase insulin sensitivity and reduce blood glucose to treat type 2 diabetes (T2D). It has been reported that metformin has an activity on regulation of miRNAs by targeting several downstream genes in metabolic pathways. However, molecular mechanism underlying the process is still not fully known. In this study, it was aimed to identify differential expression profiles of plasma derived miRNAs following 3 months metformin treatment in patients with T2D.

Methods: The plasma samples of 47 patients with T2D (received no anti-diabetic treatments) and plasma samples of same 47 patients received 3 months metformin treatment was recruited to the study. Total RNAs were isolated from plasma and reverse transcribed into cDNA. Profiles of differential expressions of miRNAs in plasma were assessed by using of micro-fluidic based multiplex quantitative real time -PCR (BioMarkTM 96.96 Dynamic Array).

Results: Our results showed that expression profiles of 13 candidate miRNAs; hsa-let-7e-5p, hsa-let-7f-5p, hsa-miR- 21-5p, hsa-miR-24-3p, hsa-miR-26b-5p, hsa-miR-126-5p, hsa-miR-129-5p, hsa-miR-130b-3p, hsa-miR-146a-5p, hsamiR- 148a-3p, hsa-miR-152-3p, hsa-miR-194-5p, hsa-miR- 99a-5p were found significantly downregulated following metformin treatments in patients with T2D (p<0.05).

Conclusions: In conclusion, our finding could provide development of better and more effective miRNAs based therapeutic strategies against T2D.

Background: Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is an autosomal dominant cancer syndrome characterized by the occurrence of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), pituitary adenoma (PA) and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (pNET). Whether the underlying mutations in MEN1 gene predict clinical presentation of affected heterozygotes or not, is still a matter of a debate.

Methods: Clinical and genetic analysis of 90 consecutive MEN1 patients was performed in a retrospective, single – center study.

Results: MEN1 mutation was found in 67 (74.4%) patients belonging to 31 different families. Twenty nine different heteozygous mutations were found, including 6 novel point mutations (W220G, 941delG, 1088del7, 1184insA, 1473del10, 1602del17) and one large deletion of exon 8. Truncating mutations predicted development of pNETs (OR=5.8, 95% CI 1.7 – 19.7%) and PHPT (OR=4.3, 95% CI 1.5 – 12.4%).

Conclusions: Large number of novel mutations among MEN1 patients confirmed previously reported data. PNETs and PHPT were more frequent in patients with truncating mutations.

Published: May 2018

Background:Chronic hepatitis C (CHC) is a significant cause of liver related morbidity and mortality worldwide. The role of genetics in the host response to hepatitis C virus is not elucidated. Genetic variations inUGT1A1gene are the most common cause of hereditary unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia-Gilbert syndrome. This is the first study investigating the association ofUGT1A1TA repeats promoter genotypes with the degree of liver injury, viremia and biochemical markers in CHC patients with advanced liver injury and late virological relapse.

Methods:Genetic testing ofUGT1A1TA repeats promoter genotypes was performed in 42 CHC patients with advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis who achieved sustained virological response and 42 healthy blood donors. CHC patients were evaluated for clinical findings, laboratory tests and imaging.

Results:UGT1A1*28 genotype (7/7 TA repeats) was observed in 23.8% CHC patients and 16.7% healthy controls with no significant difference in genotype frequencies (p=0.49). Pretreatment levels of ferritin and bilirubin were associated with the presence ofUGT1A1*28genotype, indicating its potential as a predictive marker. However, in our study, there was no correlation ofUGT1A1*28genotype with the degree of fibrosis or viremia. During antiviral treatment, dose reductions and treatment interruptions, as well as treatment success and occurrence of late virological relapse were not related to the presence ofUGT1A1*28genotype in CHC patients with severe liver injury.

Conclusions:Frequencies ofUGT1A1*28genotype are high in both Serbian CHC patients and healthy subjects. The presence ofUGT1A1*28genotype was not associated with ribavirin-related adverse effects and had no effect on long term outcome in CHC patients.

Authors: Horal David
Published: May 2018

Although unconfirmed reports on the breeding of the eastern imperial eagle exist from as early as in 1 920s, the first confirmed breeding only took place in 1 998. Since then, 1-5 pairs have bred annually, chiefly in the South Moravia region (the Breclav, Znojmo and the Brno-venkov districts). Out of 37 breeding attempts, 26 (i.e. 70%) were successful, with 48 young reared. The paper summarizes some characteristics of the breeding biology (productivity, breeding losses, nesting tree species, nest height, nest turnover, minimum convex polygon of the nests [nesting trees] built by individual pairs) as well as ringing recoveries. Out of 42 ringed chicks, 39 fledged successfully and produced 3 recoveries (Slovakia - 2, Austria - 1 ). Three foreign ringed birds were also sighted in the Czech Republic. The most interesting case is the breeding of a 1 9-year-old female born in eastern Slovakia (distance 336 km), found via a photo of the ring (V. Gahura, 201 3).

PENGARUH IKLIM ETIKA DAN PENGALAMAN KERJA TERHADAP PERSEPSI ETIS AKUNTAN PUBLIK MENGENAI PENGGELAPAN PAJAK
Authors: Sunani Avi
Published: May 2018

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of ethical climate and work experiences on public accountants’ ethical perception of tax evasion. This study is based on a survey of 84 public accountants in East Java, Indonesia. The direct and moderation effect test was used to examine the effect of ethical climate and work experiences on ethical perceptions of tax evasion. Consistent with the expectations, ethical climate positively affects ethical perceptions of tax evasion. In other words, public accountant perceptions of the extent to which the organization (public accounting firm) supports public interest and social responsibility clearly encourage them to judge tax evasion as more unethical. Besides, work experience positively affects ethical perceptions of tax evasion. This means that experienced auditor are more opposed to tax evasion than are less experienced. This study has documented the moderating influence of work experiences on the association between ethical climate and ethical perceptions of tax evasion.

O procedimento de exodontia com a instalação de um implante imediato com carga imediata deve seguir um protocolo de tratamento e seqüência clínica para assegurar o sucesso do tratamento. Quando o comprimento ósseo alveolar encontra-se reduzido devido a pneumatização do seio maxilar, há a necessidade de levantamento da membrana sinusal e enxerto ósseo previamente a instalação do implante. O presente artigo teve o objetivo de relatar o procedimento de exodontia, levantamento do seio maxilar com osteótomos de Summers e instalação imediata com carga imediata de implante (Supreme Cone Morse, Dentoflex, Brasil) na região de pré-molar superior em uma paciente de 30 anos de idade do sexo feminino. A extração dental foi realizada de forma atraumática e o levantamento da membrana antral foi realizado com osteótomos de Summers com aumento de 4 milímetros e o implante foi instalado com torque satisfatório para carga imediata. Pilar do tipo UCLA foi utilizado para a instalação da coroa provisória. Após 4 meses a coroa foi removida para a confecção da prótese metalocerâmica. O tratamento com implante imediato e carga imediata na região posterior da maxila é uma boa opção terapêutica quando os pacientes são selecionados de modo criterioso demonstrando ser um tratamento previsível e que pode prevenir a reabsorção óssea alveolar, possibilitando a manutenção da arquitetura gengival e uma resposta psicológica positiva do paciente.

Authors: Melo Bruna Stênia Queiroz , Barreto André de Carvalho
Published: May 2018

A presente pesquisa teve por objetivo realizar uma revisão integrativa da literatura visando caracterizar a pesquisa em Psicologia sobre saúde mental no contexto das relações familiares. Para realizar esta revisão integrativa da literatura, optou-se como base de dados os Periódicos Eletrônicos em Psicologia (PePsic) que é considerado o maior indexador brasileiros de resumos e artigos completos em Psicologia. Foram utilizados nesta revisão os descritores: saúde mental e relações familiares. O resultado desta revisão identificou 52 artigos, destes artigos 19 foram estudos qualitativos, 10 quantitativos, nove relatos de experiência, nove teóricos, quatro revisões da literatura e uma pesquisa quanti-quali. Foi identificado que 18 pesquisas tiveram como amostra pessoas acometidas de algum transtorno mental (três estudos de depressão, um estresse no trabalho, um esquizofrenia, um psicose e autismo, um problemas de conduta). Isto nos leva à conclusão da necessidade de mais estudos de Psicologia sobre a saúde mental e relações familiares tendo uma amostra de que pessoas acometidas por algum transtorno mental é expressiva, o que deixa um hiato entre os profissionais que trabalham em serviços de saúde mental. Espera-se que mais pesquisas sobre relações familiares e saúde mental, consideradas sobre outros transtornos mentais, possam ser realizadas pela Psicologia para ampliar o conhecimento na área, o que colaborará para as práticas de intervenção e políticas públicas em saúde mental.

Primeiros socorros são definidos como ações e procedimentos, em situações de urgência ou emergência, prestados à vítima. O contexto escolar pode ser visto como laboratórios ideais para inserir a população no treinamento sobre técnicas básicas que compõem o suporte básico da vida. O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar a eficácia de uma intervenção educativa sobre suporte básico de vida. Trata-se de um estudo experimental de intervenção com grupo de controle não equivalente, do tipo anterior-posterior realizado em uma Escola Estadual de ensino Profissional no município de Quixeramobim/Ceará. A amostra do estudo foi composta por 114 alunos. A coleta de dados ocorreu nos meses de setembro e outubro de 2017 em três etapas: primeiramente foi aplicado um questionário contendo dados sociodemográficos e um questionário relacionado a reanimação cardiopulmonar para medir o conhecimento antes da intervenção educativa. Posteriormente, foi realizada uma intervenção educativa por meio de aula expositiva, dialogada e prática. Ao final, aplicado novamente o mesmo questionário que mediu o conhecimento sobre reanimação cardiopulmonar. A pesquisa foi aprovada pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa sob o parecer de número 2.209.775. Foi possível perceber que a intervenção educativa foi eficaz para aumentar o conhecimento dos alunos, preparando-os para prestar socorro às vítimas diante de uma parada cardiorrespiratória. Ressalta-se a necessidade da realização contínua de treinamentos com os estudantes para que se obtenha mais cidadãos capacitados em realizar um suporte básico de vida com qualidade.

Implications of global peak population for Canada’s future: Northern, rural, and remote communities
Authors: Cooke Martin
Published: May 2018

The broad demographic changes that are affecting the Canadian population, including population aging and changes to immigration, will not have the same impact or implications in all places across the country. For communities in the North and rural and remote communities in the South, the patterns of demographic change might be quite different from those faced by cities. There is also considerable diversity among these non-urban areas. Non-urban hinterlands that are within commuting distance of cities (high Metropolitan Influence) have been growing, with some being reclassified as parts of urban agglomerations. Population change in rural areas that are outside of urban influence is more closely related to employment dynamics in particular sectors, especially agriculture and resource extraction. Populations of many of those communities have been declining and aging due to out-migration of young adults and a lack of immigration. In the North, where populations are younger, resource development has meant rapid change to Northern communities and cultures. Current challenges for Northern, rural and remote communities include potential labour force skills shortages and adapting infrastructure to a changing population, in the context of difficult geography. Future issues related to population change have implications for social cohesion. In the North, there is a risk of widening socioeconomic inequality, particularly between Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations. In the South, disparities in lifestyles and labour force experiences between rural and urban populations might also grow. Recommendations for knowledge development include more research on the effective recruitment and retention of professionals, including immigrants, in these areas, as well as better sources of data on Northern populations.
The well-being of families in Canada’s future
Authors: Laplante Benoît
Published: May 2018

The author argues that the well-being of families in Canada’s future is uncertain because families are losing the central position that was traditionally theirs. Most of the changes that occurred in and around families over the last third of the 20th century came from changes in values (from survival to personal development, from collectivity-oriented to individual-oriented), in gender relations (rising education, labour force participation, and economic independence of women), and in the legal framework that deals with family life. Such changes are still having an impact on families and this impact will likely not diminish. But more than anything else, Canadian society is moving towards a model in which immigration rather than reproduction is the main source of population growth, thus reducing the importance of the family for the development of policies. This, and the increasing political importance given to environmental issues, might further displace the family as a priority for policymaking and the allocation of public resources, and thus impair the future well-being of families.L’auteur soutient que le bien-être des familles canadiennes des familles est loin d’être assuré à long terme parce que la famille, en tant qu’institution, perd aujourd’hui la position centrale qui était traditionnellement la sienne. La plupart des changements survenus dans et autour des familles au cours du dernier tiers du XX e siècle ont été la conséquence de changements dans les valeurs (de la primauté de la survie à celle du développement personnel, de la collectivité à l’individu), dans les rapports entre les sexes (l’éducation des femmes, leur activité et leur indépendance économique) et dans l’encadrement juridique de la vie familiale. Ces transformations se poursuivent et leur impact sur les familles ne diminuera probablement pas. À ceci s’ajoute le fait que la société canadienne a adopté un modèle où l’immigration remplace la reproduction comme source principale de la croissance démographique, réduisant encore plus l’importance de la famille pour l’élaboration des politiques. Ce changement, et l’importance croissante accordée aux questions environnementales, pourrait encore réduire la place de la famille en tant que priorité pour l’élaboration des politiques et l’allocation des ressources publiques, et ainsi compromettre le bien-être futur des familles.
