Introdução: A competição desportiva está cada vez mais tecnológica e científica. Estudos na área da Odontologia mostram relação entre a saúde bucal e o desempenho do atleta de alto rendimento. O conhecimento do comportamento do sistema estomatognático, dos hábitos dos atletas da prevenção odontológica, ajudam o cirurgião-dentista, a elaborar e executar um planejamento preventivo-curativo visando a manutenção da saúde geral, influenciando positivamente o desempenho do atleta.Objetivo: Objetivou-se dar uma visão geral e salientar alguns aspectos que possam contribuir para o melhor desempenho dos atletas de alto rendimento em relação às condições bucais como causa ou como consequência, da prática profissional de esportes.Conclusão: O acompanhamento odontológico aos atletas de alto rendimento, de forma preventiva ou curativa, é imperativo para a garantia da manutenção do seu desempenho físico. Pesquisas multiprofissionais ainda precisam ser feitas para que a Odontologia possa contribuir mais diretamente na melhoria do desempenho desta categoria de atletas. O investimento na Odontologia preventiva, interceptativa e curativa nos atletas mirins e juvenis pode repercutir diretamente no seu desempenho, favorecendo a sua profissionalização. A interação entre a Odontologia e a Nutrição deve existir para que a dieta do atleta não prejudique a saúde bucal. Oral Health in Focus for High-Performance AthletesIntroduction: Sports competition is growing technological and scientifically.

Authors: Szpilman David , Mello Danielli Braga de
Published: June 2020

Introdução: Em 1988, a brasileira Renata Agondi, 25 anos, morreu durante travessia no Canal da Mancha. Em 2010, o americano Franz Cripen, vice-campeão mundial de maratona aquática, faleceu durante uma prova em águas abertas. Eventos como esses provocaram mudanças na segurança de provas em águas abertas, mas, ainda com resultados insuficientes. Nos últimos anos, observou-se um aumento no número de incidentes e mortes em treinos e competições.

Objetivo: Objetivo: Apresentar o instrumento de avaliação pré-participação em evento esportivo em águas abertas da Sociedade Brasileira de Salvamento (SOBRASA) Trata-se de um autoquestionário com respostas simples, no formato “checklist” (lista de checagem), que permite ao atleta avaliar a segurança de sua participação no evento, antes de realizá-lo.

Conclusão: Para desenvolver o questionário, foi formado um grupo focal, constituído por 16 especialistas (profissionais de saúde e do esporte, bombeiros militares e atletas de provas de águas abertas) para se listar e discutir as variáveis de risco envolvidas na realização de uma prova de natação em água abertas, bem como identificar formas para reduzí-los. Mesmo com todas as precauções de segurança que sejam tomadas neste tipo de prova, não há 100% de segurança. Nesse comtexto, cabe tanto ao organizador quanto ao atleta/competidor atentar para os riscos envolvidos na atividade de forma a reduzí-los a fim de prevenir incidentes indesejáveis

Introdução: O desempenho em provas longas é influenciado pela estratégia de corrida. Porém, não está claro se há diferença na estratégia utilizada por atletas de diferentes níveis de resultados competitivos.

Objetivo: Identificar as estratégias de corrida preferenciais utilizadas por atletas de alto rendimento de corrida de longa distância segundo níveis de desempenho.

Métodos: Estudo observacional, retrospectivo, com amostra por conveniência, do qual participaram 30 atletas da prova de 10.000m de dois campeonatos mundiais da Federação Internacional de Atletismo (2015 e 2017). O nível de desempenho foi determinado pela formação de três grupos de acordo com as colocações ao final da prova: os primeiros (cinco primeiros colocados) (GP), os intermediários (10º ao 14º colocados, as cinco posições centrais do conjunto de dados) (GI) e os cinco últimos (18º ao 22º colocados) (GU) de cada campeonato. A estratégia de corrida foi determinada pela variação e valor da velocidade das parciais (parciais= 1km ao 10km). ANOVA two-way e one-way foram utilizadas para comparar as parciais inter e intragrupos.

Resultados: No GP, a velocidade da prova variou positivamente ao longo de todo o percurso no GP, configurando a estratégia de ritmo positivo em forma de “J”. O GI, não houve alteração estatisticamente significativa na velocidade ao longo de todo o percurso, caracterizando estratégia de ritmo constante. e os últimos apresentaram variação negativa da velocidade (ritmo negativo).

Conclusão: As diferentes alterações na velocidade da corrida entre os grupos sugerem que a estratégia de ritmo de corrida utilizada é influenciada pelo nível de desempenho dos atletas.

THE WILLINGNESS TO ADOPT THE INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT) CONCEPTION IN TAIWAN’S CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
Authors: Chen Jieh-Haur , Ha Nguyen Thi Thu , Tai Hsing-Wei , Chang Chao-An
Published: June 2020

Internet of Things (IoT) conception has become a popular trend among industries. Many have already adopted
the technology and put it into practice. IoT can incentive and change the way people conduct business in the construction industry.
The objective of the research is to figure out the impact factors that influence practitioners’ willingness to adopt IoT in Taiwan’s
construction industry. The hypothesis was developed based on a comprehensive literature review and the concept of the Unified Theory
of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTUAT). The UTUAT framework and hypotheses developed included 5 main hypotheses, 6 aspects and
33 stems. A pilot study aimed at experienced practitioners in the industry was carried out before the full-scale survey to adjust
the stems. The adjusted questionnaire including 31 stems belonging to 7 aspects was then distributed to practitioners. A total of
282 valid questionnaires distributed were collected and 6 types of analysis (descriptive statistics, reliability, validity, t-test,
one-way of variance, and structural equation modelling). The findings including (1) anticipated benefits significantly affect the users’
willingness to adopt IoT; (2) anticipated efforts significantly affect the users’ willingness to adopt IoT; (3) societal expectations
significantly affect the users’ willingness to adopt IoT.
Signatures of Strangeness in Neutron Star Merger Remnants
Authors: Nunna Krishna Prakash , Banik Sarmistha , Chatterjee Debarati
Published: June 2020

Neutron star (NS) mergers provide us with information rich in physics using multimessenger astrophysical observations. One of the probable remnants of such a merger is a differentially rotating hot hypermassive NS. The stability of the merger remnant crucially depends on the underlying equation of state and thus provides a method to probe the nature of dense matter in NSs. In this work, we search for possible signatures of strangeness-containing matter in NS interiors on the secular stability of the merger remnant. We also use recently proposed methods to make a rough estimate of the collapse time of the merger remnant and the threshold mass above which the merger promptly collapses to a black hole.
Supernova Hydrodynamics: A Lab-scale Study of the Blast-driven Instability Using High-speed Diagnostics
Authors: Musci Benjamin , Petter Samuel , Pathikonda Gokul , Ochs Bradley , Ranjan Devesh
Published: June 2020

A novel experimental approach to study the blast-driven instability at a nondiffuse, gaseous interface with a density gradient is presented. Under Euler similarity, this approach enables study of dissipative-scale hydrodynamics relevant to many astrophysical and laboratory high energy density phenomena in a well-resolved manner. The instability is initiated by passing a Taylor–Sedov blast wave originating from a controlled detonation through a perturbed and stably stratified interface between two gases. The facility and driving blast wave are characterized to obtain repeatable conditions and capture large ensembles of time-resolved Mie scattering imaging that show consistent hydrodynamic development. We analyze the instability evolution between different gas pairs to demonstrate the wide range of development and turbulent behavior that may occur between different supernova layers. The mean evolution of the hydrodynamic instability is compared to a buoyancy–drag model that is frequently used to estimate perturbation growth in supernova mixing research. We propose a time delay to this model in order to reproduce the measured instability behavior and demonstrate model robustness in handling flows driven by a time-varying acceleration.
Energetic Electron Acceleration by Ion-scale Magnetic Islands in Turbulent Magnetic Reconnection: Particle-in-cell Simulations and ARTEMIS Observations
Authors: Lu San , Artemyev A. V. , Angelopoulos V. , Pritchett P. L.
Published: June 2020

Particle-in-cell simulations show that numerous ion-scale magnetic islands can be formed in a turbulent magnetic reconnection region. These islands can confine and accelerate electrons to high energies effectively, causing the energetic electron energy flux to peak at the center of each island. ARTEMIS spacecraft observations of turbulent reconnection outflows in Earth’s magnetotail reveal that peaks in the energetic electron energy flux are well correlated with bipolar signatures of reconnected magnetic field, which are indicative of ion-scale magnetic islands, providing observational evidence for this acceleration process.
Distinct Accretion Modes of Cygnus X-1 Revealed from Hard X-Rays
Authors: Lubiński Piotr , Filothodoros Alexandros , Zdziarski Andrzej A. , Pooley Guy
Published: June 2020

Thanks to recurrent observations of the black hole binary Cyg X-1 carried out over 15 years the INTEGRAL satellite has collected the largest data set in the hard X-ray band for this source. We have analyzed these data, complemented by data collected by other X-ray satellites and radio flux at 15 GHz. To characterize the spectral and variability properties of the system we have examined parameters such as the hard X-ray flux, photon index, and fractional variability. Our main result is that the 2D distribution of the photon index and flux determined for the 22–100 keV band forms six clusters. This result, interpreted within the Comptonization scenario as the dominant process responsible for the hard X-ray emission, leads to a conclusion that the hot plasma in Cyg X-1 takes the form of six specific geometries. The distinct character of each of these plasma states is reinforced by their different X-ray and radio variability patterns. In particular, the hardest and softest plasma states show no short-term flux–photon index correlation typical for the four other states, implying a lack of interaction between the plasma and accretion disk.  The system evolves between these two extreme states, with the spectral slope regulated by a variable cooling of the plasma by the disk photons.
Inferences About the Magnetic Field Structure of a CME with Both In Situ and Faraday Rotation Constraints
Authors: Wood Brian E. , Tun-Beltran Samuel , Kooi Jason E. , Polisensky Emil J. , Nieves-Chinchilla Teresa
Published: June 2020

On 2012 August 2, two coronal mass ejections (CMEs; CME-1 and CME-2) erupted from the west limb of the Sun as viewed from Earth, and were observed in images from the white-light coronagraphs on the SOlar and Heliospheric Observatory and Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory (STEREO) spacecraft. These events were also observed by the Very Large Array (VLA), which was monitoring the Sun at radio wavelengths, allowing time-dependent Faraday rotation observations to be made of both events. We use the white-light imaging and radio data to model the 3D field geometry of both CMEs, assuming a magnetic flux rope geometry. For CME-2, we also consider 1 au in situ field measurements in the analysis, as this CME hits STEREO-A on August 6, making this the first CME with observational constraints from stereoscopic coronal imaging, radio Faraday rotation, and in situ plasma measurements combined. The imaging and in situ observations of CME-2 provide two clear predictions for the radio data: VLA should observe positive rotation measures (RMs) when the radio line of sight first encounters the CME, and the sign should reverse to negative within two hours. The initial positive RMs are in fact observed. The expected sign reversal is not, but the VLA data unfortunately end too soon to be sure of the significance of this discrepancy. We interpret an RM increase prior to the expected occultation time of the CME as a signature of a sheath region of deflected field ahead of the CME itself.
Micro-habitat and season dependent impact of the invasive Impatiens glandulifera on native vegetation
Authors: Bieberich Judith , Feldhaar Heike , Lauerer Marianne
Published: June 2020

The impact of invasive species is often difficult to assess due to species × ecosystem interactions. Impatiens glandulifera heavily invaded several habitat types in Central Europe but its impact on native plant communities is rated ambiguously. One reason could be that the impact differs between habitat types or even between environmentally heterogeneous patches (micro-habitats) within one habitat type. In the present study a vegetation survey was performed within heterogeneous riverside habitats in Germany investigating the impact of I. glandulifera on native vegetation in dependence of environmental conditions. The vegetation was recorded in summer and spring because of seasonal species turnover and thus potentially different impact of the invasive plant. We found that the cover of I. glandulifera depended on environmental conditions resulting in a patchy occurrence. I. glandulifera did not have any impact on plant alpha-diversity but reduced the cover of the native vegetation, especially of the dominant species. This effect depended on micro-habitat and season. The native vegetation was most affected in bright micro-habitats, especially those with a high soil moisture. Not distinguishing between micro-habitats, plant species composition was not affected in summer but in spring. However, environmental conditions had a higher impact on the native vegetation than I. glandulifera. We conclude that within riparian habitats the threat of I. glandulifera to the native vegetation can be rated low since native species were reduced in cover but not excluded from the communities. This might be due to patchy occurrence and year-to-year changes in cover of I. glandulifera. The context-dependency in terms of micro-habitat and season requires specific risk assessments which is also an opportunity for nature conservation to develop management plans specific to the different habitats. Particular attention should be given to habitats that are bright and very wet since the effect of I. glandulifera was strongest in these habitats.

Quand les agentes de développement agricole cultivent l’incertitude
Authors: Paranthoën Jean-Baptiste
Published: June 2020

Cet article s’intéresse à l’activité des agentes d’une chambre départementale d’agriculture dans les échanges marchands. Il s’agit, dans le prolongement de l’article de Marie-France Garcia [1986], de rendre compte de l’implication de ces intermédiaires dans le fonctionnement des marchés agroalimentaires locaux. L’enquête ethnographique menée dans un département de l’Ouest de la France montre que les stratégies de légitimation des salariées de la chambre d’agriculture pour s’imposer au cœur de ces marchés reposent sur trois rôles sociaux : celui de pédagogue, celui de représentant commercial des agriculteurs et celui de représentant des territoires.
Changement organisationnel, changement culturel ? Repères pour l’intervention ergonomique
Authors: Nascimento Adelaïde
Published: June 2020

Afin de conduire des changements organisationnels d’envergure, la notion de culture a été fréquemment instrumentalisée par la gestion dans sa version fonctionnaliste et normative. Sans changement culturel, pas de stratégie qui tienne la route, c’est ce qu’il faut comprendre de la fameuse phrase de Peter Drucker «  Culture eats strategies for breakfast, lunch and dinner  ». L’ergonomie a jusqu’ici beaucoup contribué aux questions relatives à la conduite du changement organisationnel, mais a moins souvent pris comme objet d’analyse l’instrumentalisation de la notion de culture et notamment celle de culture organisationnelle dans la conduite de ces changements. En effet, même si de nombreux ergonomes s’accordent à reconnaître les liens entre activité et culture, la définition et le statut de la notion de culture du point de vue de l’ergonomie francophone a fait l’objet de peu de formalisations à ce jour, malgré un intérêt manifeste dans les disciplines voisines comme la sociologie ou la gestion. L’objectif de cet article de synthèse est de proposer des repères théoriques pour ce qui pourrait constituer un positionnement critique de l’ergonomie sur la question spécifique du développement culturel lorsque celui-ci se présente dans l’intervention comme une forme de « changement culturel » pensée par les gestionnaires et découlant d’un projet technocratique de changement organisationnel. Les apports des théories historico-culturelles russes de la « troïka » Vygotiski-Leontiev-Luria et de la psychologie culturellement orientée de Jerome Bruner et Michael Cole sont proposées dans ce texte comme des ressources fortes pour orienter les demandes ergonomiques concernant le développement culturel au travail.
The Transition to First Position as Nurse Practitioner
Authors: Kelly Norma R , Mathews Maureen
Published: June 2020

ABSTRACT

The nurse who graduates from a nurse practitioner program leaves a comfort zone of nursing practice to enter a new position where feelings of insecurity and stress are common. Because the role of the nurse practitioner (NP) continues to evolve and is influenced by many environmental issues, the preparation of the NP by the academic institution needs to be assessed on a frequent basis. The purpose of this research was to obtain a better understanding of the transitional phase to the first position as NP after graduation. The perceptions of preparation, gains, losses, barriers, facilitators, and strategies for adjustment were explored. A qualitative approach using focus groups was developed in which 21 recent NP graduates from a large university participated in one of four focus groups. Peer debriefing and participant verification were techniques used to ensure credibility and trustworthiness of the data and subsequent analysis. The themes identified were: loss of personal control of time and privacy; changes and losses in relationships; feelings of isolation and uncertainty in establishing the NP role; and a special bonding with clients. Although the participants perceived they were adequately prepared for their role, they also described feelings of guilt and uncertainty from not knowing information they believed they should know. They concluded that they functioned differently than the physician as well as other nurses and found it necessary to distance themselves from the role of other health care providers. This study has implications for colleagues, academic institutions, and the individual nurse practitioner.

Published: June 2020

Interprofessional education has been gaining traction in the educational and professional climate today. As a shift has been made to incorporate the collaboration of health professionals into education, benefits in overall quality of education and patient care have been observed. Students who are involved in IPE are able to learn about other careers, learn the limitations of their own career, cement existing knowledge, develop relationships with members of various fields, improve teamwork skills, and enhance their job satisfaction. Patients have also benefited from the new IPE implementation. As a result of increased collaboration, there has been a reduction in patient errors and overall improved quality of care among programs who participate in IPE.

Health professionals are recommended to encourage their at-risk patients to participate in evidence-based lifestyle change programs, such as CDC's National Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) and support their weight loss efforts. This chapter describes feasibility/outcomes of a community-based collaborative care model used to implement a weekly-group DPP facilitated by interprofessional teams of medical school students with three African American churches (N=72 participants; 93% overweight/obese). At 12-weeks, 30% of participants had lost at least 5 lbs.; among those attending at least nine sessions, 55% achieved at least 3% weight loss. Findings suggest interprofessional student teams can feasibly partner with churches to deliver the DPP and achieve weight-loss outcomes associated with reducing diabetes risk. Future research is needed to determine scalability/costs of using community-based collaborative care student models to address diabetes.

Published: June 2020

Clinical clerkships allow students to transition from exclusively academic to real professional settings. This stressful transition can lead to burnout. Recent awareness has led to the creation of mentorship programs focused on improving students' well-being. A mentorship program was developed for students in the clinical clerkships to monitor and foster habits for well-being based on a six-pillar model: mental, social, emotional, academic, nutritional, and physical health. The purpose of the chapter is to present the model and preliminary results of a study that assessed the program's effects through the mentor's perception. A qualitative approach with semi-structured interviews was used. Results indicate impact on mental (85%) and emotional health (85%), as evidenced by the identification of multiple red-flag cases. The implementation of programs must effectively foster students' self-assessment and allows them to develop better coping mechanisms.
A History of Interprofessional Education and Assessment at WesternU
Authors: Dickter David N. , Robinson Daniel C.
Published: June 2020

This chapter traces the early history and progress of a pioneering interprofessional practice and education (IPE) program at Western University of Health Sciences (WesternU), whose growth and development can be viewed in the context of the broader IPE field, that of a nascent movement within the United States to recognize and facilitate collaborative, patient-centered healthcare. This chapter provides some of the background and details from the early design years at WesternU. The IPE movement in the U.S. worked with general principles and broad conceptual outcomes such as safety and quality but it took time to delineate more specific guidelines and practices. Over the years, frameworks and standards for education, practice, and outcomes assessment have developed that have helped to guide the program. Similarly, WesternU has developed and refined its education and assessment methods over time.

Published: June 2020

Entrepreneurs in tourism constantly find business a challenge, especially when competing with well-established players in the industry who have huge capital and large market shares. More often than not, these entrepreneurs must constantly innovate and come up with new ideas on travel booking and new ways to enhance travel experiences. Focusing on entrepreneurs in Asia, very few countries proactively fund aspiring entrepreneurs who often struggle like their American counterparts with credit card debts and huge loans. This chapter reviews Asian entrepreneurs in tourism, with a focus on accessibility to state support and funds, identifying research areas for future studies. Using systematic literature review and country-specific profiling of India, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam, the study examines the extent governments support entrepreneurs and the sustainability of their business. This research is intended to trigger insights for both industry practitioners and policymakers and to form an awareness to create a sustainable environment for budding entrepreneurs in tourism.
An Investigation of Entrepreneurial Intention Among University Students Using the Theory of Planned Behavior and Parents' Occupation
Authors: Tsaknis Panagiotis A. , Sahinidis Alexandros G.
Published: June 2020

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the entrepreneurial intention of university students using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and parents' occupation. A questionnaire based survey was employed for the data collection. A total of 1244 students participated in the survey. The sample was a convenience one given that the resources available were limited. The size of the sample allows us to proceed with reliable statistical analyses and produce valid conclusions. The findings of our research showed that perceived behavioral control, subjective norms, attitude and parents' occupation are important variables influencing entrepreneurial intention. The variable that affects entrepreneurial intention the most is attitude. The findings led support to the theory and the hypotheses proposed. These findings indicate that the recommended model can be used to explain a large part of variation in entrepreneurial intention. This study, contributes to the entrepreneurial intention literature providing empirical evidence to help formulate policies encouraging university students' entrepreneurship practices, attracting the interest of both educators and policy makers. This evidence will become increasingly important, as research in the field of entrepreneurship continues to place models of entrepreneurial intentions at the center of our understanding of the entrepreneurial process. Future studies could investigate the validity of the findings reported here, in different contexts using more variables, not included in this study and inquire the potential existence of latent variables which may be confounding the relationships discussed in this paper.
The Effective Use of Digital Technology by SMEs
Authors: Zairis Antonios Georgios
Published: June 2020

Most researches emphasize the importance of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as main contributors to economic growth and their role in the global economy. The purpose of this study is to provide information on the implementation of digital technology in SMEs and the challenges they face. It seems that the evolution of internet technology and communication platforms has been largely adopted in the corporate environment and constitutes an important component of competitive advantage for large corporations. But the same does not exactly apply for SMEs as they come up against numerous issues. The chapter also focuses on the digital state of Greek SMEs and attempts to identify the main problems and opportunities for promoting their development through digital technology, as they appear to be weak in this field especially when comparing to the majority of European countries. These findings enrich the literature on Greek SMEs and their future capabilities.

The main purpose of this chapter is to present 22 educational games or platforms that aim to cultivate computational thinking through teaching computer programming concepts to primary school students. A short description of each game followed by a comparative analysis of both their game mechanics and their educational aspects is presented. Additionally, less typical functionalities such as online classrooms, the support for learning analytics, and the creation of new levels are analyzed. This chapter could be useful for game designers and IT teachers who would like to use a game-based approach in the teaching process.
Computational Thinking
Authors: Zacharis Konstantinos V. , Niros Antonios D.
Published: June 2020

Computational thinking is a novel problem-solving approach that enhances the interpolation of digital technologies with human ideas. It does not replace the emphasis on creativity, logical, and critical thinking, but rather highlights these skills by proposing ways to organize, modify, and formulate a problem so that it can be resolved by computers. In this work, exemplary computer thinking activities are proposed, which require modeling, problem-solving, planning, and optimization skills. Science-based learning, technology, engineering, art, mathematics, as well as modeling, simulation, programming, and robotics enhance and support computational thought.

Authors: Papadakis Stamatios , Kalogiannakis Michail
Published: June 2020

Educational robotics have become popular worldwide with a broad range of students, including preschoolers. Although the impact of robotics technology in classrooms has been extensively studied, less is known about preschool teachers' perceptions of how robotics technology impacts learning and its relation to use in the classroom. This is problematic since we know that teachers' perceptions have a great influence on their teaching practices. This study used survey data gathered from 102 students of the Department of Preschool Education in a University in Greece. A questionnaire developed by the researchers were used as data collection tool. At the end of the study, it was determined that preservice preschool teachers' attitudes about educational robotics usage in preschool classrooms were positive although they lack in relevant knowledge. These findings are discussed with respect to their educational implications.

Ethics in Organization and Management
Authors: Joseph Thomas
Published: June 2020

A fundamental challenge for scholars and practitioners of organization and management is the integration of theoretical ethics with practical decision-making. This article discusses the historical evolution of ethics in organization and management through today. Additionally, the article utilizes a compare and contrast approach of three contemporary theories of ethical decision-making, namely ethics of virtue, ethics of care, and ethics of justice, to implicate their applicability to practice under conditions of globalization. Ethics of virtue, care, and justice share common concepts imperative for organizations in a global environment. They address the idea of equality and self-sufficiency and are concerned with the establishment and sustenance of lasting relationships. Organizations can, therefore, succeed in any environment providing that decision makers make the effort to adhere to standards that are moral, fair, caring, and just. Every unethical behavior should be condemned.
