Optimization of Coffee-Clove-Ginger Formulated Powder Based on Antioxidant Activity and Physicochemical Properties
Authors: Lestari Arisa Puji , Susanti Siti , Legowo Anang Mohamad
Published: February 2018

The development of coffee products as functional drinks is hoped to increase the popularity of coffee as a healthy drink. One way of improving is by adding spices into the coffee. The objective of this research was to obtain optimization of coffee-spice formulated powder based on its antioxidant activity, water content, ash content, and extract content. The spices used in this research were ginger powder and cloves(1:1). In this research, the ratio of coffee:spices (%,b/b) tested varied with F0(100%: 0%), F1(95%: 5%), F2(90%:10%), F3(85%:15%), and F4(80%:20%) each ratios underwent 4 repetitions of tests. F0-F4 was roasted for 35 minutes at 20 °C. The results showed that all formulas except F4 had met the SNI certifications of ground coffee. F1 had the lowest(p<0.05) water(5.58%) and ash content(4.63%), while its extract content(29.68%) was the highest(p<0.05) out of all the other varying ratios of coffee: spices formula (F1-F4). There was no significant difference between F1 and F0(100% coffee). F4 had the lowest IC50(21.62μg/mL) among other formulas. Thus the formula with the lowest proportion of spices was considered as the optimal formula based on the water content, ash content, and extract content, whereas of antioxidant status, the formula with the highest proportion of spices was considered the best formula. The more the proportion of spices in the formula, the better the antioxidant status, but less optimum in terms of its other chemical properties. It is hoped that the spiced coffee formula could potentially serve as a functional beverage for the community.
Representações literárias da revoluçào mexicana na narrativa de Juan Rulfo
Authors: Alves Lourdes Kaminski
Published: February 2018

Este artigo pretende refletir em que medida a obra Pedro Páramo (1955), de Juan Rulfo, encerra perspectivas da narrativa contemporânea latino-americana e abarca uma memória social. Observa-se na obra, uma tentativa de rompimento e de inversão com a hierarquia e com a estética tradicional do texto, à medida que o verossímil e o inverossímil se incorporam, subvertendo as práticas ritualizadas dos discursos oficiais até então praticados. Pedro Páramo coloca-se ao lado de outras obras responsáveis pela revolução, no sentido de transgressão às normas vigentes de estilo da escrita e na forma de abordar a temática de conflitos e revoluções no contexto latino-americano.
“Agora que pus no papel, posso começar a me esquecer”: sujeito, memória e representação nas autobiografias e diários de w. B. Yeats
Authors: Viana Maria Rita Drumond
Published: February 2018

Partindo de uma discussão do crescente interesse que as escritas de si têm despertado tanto na crítica quanto no público leitor, o presente artigo foca em aspectos teóricos que distinguem a prática do escritor irlandês W. B. Yeats em dois gêneros de escrita auto/biográfica: a autobiografia propriamente dita e o diário. Propõe-se análise que bebe de fontes teóricas de diversos contextos nacionais para atualizar o público brasileiro acerca das discussões que compõem a fortuna crítica deste importante autor das literaturas anglófonas. Yeats se apresenta como um sujeito exemplar para investigar-se a constituição do sujeito-escritor, as (im)possibilidades da memória e sua representação no espaço da escrita, em função da riqueza de seu acervo, da tradição dos estudos genéticos e biográficos que sempre caracterizaram a crítica yeatsiana e por sua própria preocupação com essas questões, presente em todos os gêneros de sua extensa obra.
Entre metaficção e metafísica, ou como não interpretar Pale Fire
Authors: Tinti Tauan Fernandes
Published: February 2018

O presente trabalho se propõe a explorar o problema da autoconsciência metaficcional na obra de Vladimir Nabokov a partir da figura de John Shade, o autor fictício de “Pale Fire”, poema que integra o peculiar romance de mesmo título. A reflexão metafísica de Shade, ao ser separada do romance que a contém – uma possibilidade concretizada por uma edição de 2011 do poema, produzida pela Gingko Press –, serve então como via de acesso para se considerar a relação entre os diversos artistas criados por Nabokov e o próprio escritor. Isso levará, por sua vez, à investigação da concepção de natureza subjacente à sua obra, calcada na ideia de um criador bondoso que parece servir de modelo tanto para alguns de seus personagens quanto para a própria arte de Nabokov.

The goal of this study was to compare the data on the intensity of the influenza A(H3N2) and B epidemic (especially the death toll) in the 2014–2015 season with the previous epidemic of the 2013-2014 season. The data on weekly morbidity, hospitalization, deaths from influenza, and acute respiratory diseases in different age groups of inhabitants of 59 cities located in 7 Federal districts of the Russian Federation were collected using the database of the Research Institute of Influenza.

Analysis of this data showed that the influenza epidemic in 2014-2015 began earlier (in December) compared to the epidemic of 2013-2014, and spread mainly from Europe through Russia to the East. The intensity of the epidemic of 2014-2015 was higher compared to the previous one. The epidemic was more prevalent by regions and cities and a wider engagement of different age groups (except children up to 2 years of age) was observed. At the peak of the epidemic, the morbidity level was higher, the average duration of the epidemic was longer, and the number of patients among cities’ inhabitants (especially among children 7-14 years of age and adults) was higher than in the previous season. The rates of hospitalization with influenza and acute respiratory viral infections (ARVI) among patients older than 65 years were also higher (1.4 times) as well as the frequency of hospitalization with a diagnosis of “influenza” (2.7 times) and the number of deaths from laboratory confirmed influenza (1.8 times).

Although the influenza pandemic virus strain A(H1N1)pdm09 was not the main causative agent of the 2015 epidemic and was distributed sporadically it still remained the leading cause of deaths from influenza in the course of this epidemic (45.5% of all cases). The deaths associated with this strain were recorded only in the European part of Russian Federation.
Проблема создания универсальной противогриппозной вакцины
Authors: Егоров А.Ю.
Published: February 2018

Периодически появляющиеся новые пандемические штаммы вируса гриппа А, к которым отсутствует популяционный иммунитет, превращают грипп в особо опасную инфекцию. Сегментированная природа генома вируса гриппа способствует образованию реассортантов – вирусов, в состав которых входят геномные сегменты разных штаммов, принадлежащих одному роду. Именно механизм реассортации является основной причиной антигенного разнообразия вирусов гриппа в природе и появления штаммов, вызывающих пандемии в человеческой популяции. Лучшим средством предотвращения распространения гриппозной инфекции считается вакцинация. Однако эффективность известных на сегодняшний день вакцин недостаточна, особенно при иммунизации пожилых людей и маленьких детей. Специфический иммунитет, вырабатываемый после перенесенного заболевания или вакцинации одним подтипом вируса гриппа, слабо защищает от инфекции вирусом другого подтипа. В связи с этим не потерял актуальности вопрос разработки эффективной универсальной гриппозной вакцины, которая будет индуцировать широкий кросс-протективный длительный иммунитет как к вирусам гриппа А различных подтипов, так и к вирусам гриппа В. Основные подходы к созданию такой вакцины и проблемы их реализации рассматриваются в данном обзоре.
Exceção, governamentalidade e políticas de segurança
Authors: Martins Fernanda , Amaral Augusto Jobim do
Published: February 2018

A vigilância e os controles transnacionais burocráticos trabalham atualmente à distância para rastrear e controlar até mesmo os movimentos de populações. Para refletir sobre tais políticas de segurança no espaço transnacional torna-se fundamental o argumento de Bigo que antevê no atual contexto aquilo que ele chama de “banóptico”. Combinando a ideia de “exclusão” (bando) de Jean-Luc Nancy com o “óptico” de Foucault, ele indica como as técnicas de elaboração de perfis são utilizadas para saber quem deve ser objeto de vigilância estrita. O diagrama estratégico consiste em determinar uma minoria como excluída desde discursos de riscos e inimigos internos, passando pelas instituições, como os centros de detenção até as portas de embarque dos aeroportos, cruzando-se com leis e medidas administrativas que singularizam o tratamento de certo grupo.

Authors: Eshah Nidal F.
Published: February 2018

Abstract

Balanced emotions are essential for wellbeing. Having a relative admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) associated with negative emotional symptoms, and the severity of such symptoms is associated with patients' health status, patients and relatives' characteristics as well. Purposes: To assess the level of depression, anxiety and stress, as well as to identify the predictors of negative emotional symptoms among relatives of Jordanian ICU patients. Methods: Descriptive correlation design was used, and 140 first degree relatives were recruited through convenience sampling. Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale was used to collect data about relatives’ negative emotional symptoms. Standard multiple regression was conducted to determine the extent to which variance in depression, anxiety and stress could be explained by patients' health status, patients' sociodemographics, and relatives' sociodemographics. Results: Approximately, 56%, 70%, and 76% of relatives are suffering from depression, anxiety and stress respectively. Relatives have been found suffering from mild depression plus moderate anxiety and stress. Patients' Glasgow Coma Scores is the most significant predictor for relatives' stress level. Patients' age and insurance are predictors of relatives' depression, anxiety and stress. Whereas, relatives' gender and age; are the most significant predictors for their negative emotional symptoms. Conclusions: Interestingly, variances in relatives' negative emotional symptoms were explained by patients' sociodemographics and relatives' sociodemographics, more than patients' health status. Therefore, patients' and relatives' sociodemographics should be considered in dealing with relatives' psychological status.This will help nurses to minimize the devastating impact of the negative emotional symptoms on relatives of ICU patients. Keywords: Emotional Symptoms, Intensive, Care Unit.

Authors: Yılmaz Aysun
Published: February 2018

Abstract

Objective:The aim of the study is to examine the effect of informing mothers before operations on the level of anxiety in day surgeries of children.Materials and Methods: The study was an intervention type and was carried out in the departments of otolaryngology and pediatric surgery in Eskisehir Osmangazi University Medical Faculty Hospital and in the department of pediatric surgery in Afyon Kocatepe University Medical Faculty Hospital. A total of 100 mothers, 50 of whom were control group and the other 50 were case group, were sampled randomly. The data were collected via the “Family and Child Introductory Information Form” and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) which was developed by Spielberger et al.(1966) and translated and adapted into Turkish by Oner and Lecompte (1983). The data were evaluated via the IBM SPSS 13.00 statistical packaged software. The Analysis of Variance, Chi-Square, Student’s t-test and Posthoc Turkey HSD were used to carry out analyses.Results:The groups’ average STAI scores were compared before the surgery. The average SAI score of the control group before the surgery was 46.34±4.20, and that of the case group was 41.72±4.14. Therefore, there was a significant difference between the two groups (p< 0.05). When the average TAI scores before the surgery were compared, it was found that the average TAI score of the control group was 43.44±4.14 and that of the case group was 41.98±4.34. Therefore, there was no difference between the two groups (p> 0.05).The groups’ average STAI scores were compared after the surgery. The average SAI score of the control group after the surgery was 42.08±5.60, and that of the case group was 40.10±4.16. Therefore, there was no difference between the two groups (p> 0.05). When the average TAI scores before the surgery were compared, it was found that the average TAI score of the control group was 42.32±4.12 and that of the case group was 41.20±5.06. Therefore, there was no difference between the two groups (p> 0.05).Conclusion and Recommendations: It was found that the anxiety levels of the mothers of children who visited the hospital to undergo an ambulatory day surgery was high; however, it was also found that the informing made before the surgery had a positive effect on decreasing the anxiety. Therefore, it should not be forgotten that the nursing care and informing done in accordance with ethical principles have a major contribution to nurses’ professionalization and self-realization.

EFFECTS OF ALIEN WEEDS ON PHOTOSYNTHETIC EFFICIENCY OF GREEN GRAM AND MUSTARD
Authors: Ghayal Nivedita Amarendra , Hase C. P.
Published: February 2018

The allelopathic potential of leachates, extracts, decomposed residues depends upon the type and quantity of allelochemicals existing in them. The allelopathic stimulation or inhibition in recipient plants and their response also depends on the way they are exposed to the allelochemicals. The allelopathic impact of leachates and extracts (foliar application) and residue (soil application) was analyzed on the test-crop. The results clearly indicated the inhibitory nature of the treatments at higher concentrations on mungbean and mustard. The changed manifestations recorded in treated plants at different levels are usually through the alterations in very important physiological process in the plant body like photosynthesis. It was observed by the change in the contents of different chlorophyll pigments, which ultimately must have affected the process of photosynthesis. The results indicated that at higher concentration treatments there was considerable reduction in both the test crops.

Authors: Aliu Dorian , Akatay Ayten , Aliu Armando
Published: February 2018

Purpose: The aim of this study is to examine the influence of inter-stakeholders’ communication on universities which mutually collaborate with both internal and external stakeholders in frame of university – industry collaboration (UIC) and coordinate their internal structure in this direction.

Design/methodology/approach: In this study, literature review and theoretical approach were applied to find out the interrelationships of four basic theories (i.e. Communicative Actions Theory, Media Richness Theory, Actor-Networks Theory, and Stakeholder Theory) that are located amongst inter-stakeholders communication and UIC.

Findings: There is a strong nexus between stakeholder theory and other mentioned three theories. Stakeholder theory has a magnet role in combining UIC and inter-stakeholders’ communication. Communicative actions theory, media richness theory and actor-networks theory have supportive and transformative effects on stakeholder theory to uphold the relationships at multivariate levels, actors and institutions.

Research limitations/implications: The research was limited to the communication dimension of stakeholders and UIC. There are many other dimensions; such as, reciprocal trust, commitment, continuity and understanding. Investigators are encouraged to improve a reliable and valid scale and test these factors in an empirical way.

Practical implications: The paper includes implications for the development of the position of managers in communicative activities in which universities build interactions with their stakeholders and create an open system that is a strategic point.
Originality/value: The original contribution of this study is to attach considerable attention to university interfaces (e.g. UIC Centre, Technocity / Technopark, Technology Transfer Office, Incubation Centre) and the managers working in these institutions have very crucial functions to establish cooperation amongst university and industry, and contain multidimensional and multidisciplinary aspects of collaboration and communication.

Este artículo trata de evidenciar confl ictos, cambios y mutaciones que explican los trasvases entre la creación colectiva e individual, primero rastreando los fundamentos científicos de la creatividad humana, en un segundo lugar a través de las vanguardias artísticas del siglo XX y la introducción de elementos interactivos y fi nalmente contextualizando ideológicamente las condiciones artísticas ligadas a la situación actual planetaria: el comportamiento del mercado artístico, su saturación, el siguiente paso a la fórmula “todo ser humano es un artista”, hasta llegar a reflexiones sobre qué nos conviene considerar artístico para el objetivo de la supervivencia global.
La escritura como imagen: el gesto caligráfico como radiografía de aspectos de vida y obra de la artista colombiana Emma Reyes
Authors: Vergel Castilla María del Pilar , Ríos Díaz Adriana María
Published: February 2018

Con este artículo se busca establecer el vínculo entre escritura, caligrafía y obra de arte de la artista colombiana Emma Reyes (Bogotá, 1919 – Burdeos, 2003), a partir del estudio de fuentes primarias y secundarias (cartas manuscritas, testimonios de entrevistas y referencias textuales en publicaciones sobre arte y periodismo) y su correlación con el método grafológico para la lectura y caracterización de su caligrafía, y así revelar aspectos autobiográficos y biográficos relacionados con su obra.
Una lectura paralela de historia y arquitectura vernácula agrícola entre los Montes de Toledo y el río Tajo
Authors: Del Puerto Adelaida
Published: February 2018

La arquitectura vernácula aislada, ligada a la agricultura, es un catalizador de procesos históricos y de la evolución de las relaciones entre hombre y territorio. El objetivo de esta investigación ha sido analizar la influencia del aislamiento y desprotección sobre estas arquitecturas, que viven bajo el influjo constante de la sucesión de pueblos y culturas sobre un área determinada. Obligadas a relacionarse de forma estrecha con el paisaje, disponen únicamente de recursos locales para su ejecución. Ambas premisas las convierten en un campo de estudio histórico y paisajístico de gran interés. El análisis de los casos estudiados en la franja de territorio entre los Montes de Toledo occidentales y el río Tajo, territorio fronterizo desde época prerromana y hasta avanzada la Edad Media, dejan patentes los procesos de evolución cultural desde tiempos prerromanos y hasta el Renacimiento.
La Comisión Provincial de monumentos y la protección de la Ermita y el Castillo de Lebrija (Sevilla)
Authors: García Romero María del C.
Published: February 2018

El presente artículo expone nuevos datos acerca de la valoración patrimonial histórica del conocido como Castillo de Lebrija y su Ermita. A través del cruce de correspondencia entre la Comisión de Monumentos Históricos y Artísticos de la provincia de Sevilla y diversas autoridades, relatamos varios episodios que ponen de manifiesto la vulnerabilidad histórica de esta fortificación y del inmueble religioso que se inscribe en su perímetro, en el período comprendido entre 1885 y 1912. El estado ruinoso de los bienes, un supuesto acuerdo de derribo del castillo, así como la extracción de materiales del mismo inciden sobre la conservación del sitio histórico, su funcionalidad, además de cuestionar sus valores monumentales.
Nuevas aportaciones sobre el cuadro “La Virgen del Rosario” procedente del antiguo Convento del Carmen de Sevilla”, atribuido a Murillo
Authors: Álvarez Calero Alberto
Published: February 2018

Según la bibliografía artística de los siglos XVIII/XIX, el cuadro “La Virgen del Rosario” que estuvo ubicado originariamente en el convento del Carmen de Sevilla fue realizado por Murillo. Tras exponerse el lienzo en los años 1913/14 en Londres por la National Gallery, dentro de una exposición de pintura española, la obra se alejó poco a poco del ámbito de los estudiosos del Arte. Cuando el cuadro pasó dos décadas más tarde a una colección privada americana, los historiadores del arte no supieron más de él. En los catálogos modernos de Murillo se ignora este cuadro, o se confunde con el que está en el Palacio Pitti (Florencia), que es casi idéntico. En este artículo se reseñan más bibliográficas antiguas y a su vez datos técnicos recientes que hacen razonar que el cuadro en cuestión fue hecho realmente por Murillo, y antes incluso que la versión “florentina” de la misma advocación.
La Poética del Tiempo: una aproximación al imaginario Steampunk
Authors: Prieto Hames Pablo
Published: February 2018

El presente trabajo constituye una reflexión sobre cómo el fenómeno artístico y las técnicas de creación han cambiado de forma radical a lo largo de la segunda mitad del s. XX, centrándose en la relación hombre-tecnología. Esta propuesta nos conducirá desde los orígenes de la Revolución Industrial de la “Inglaterra Victoriana” hasta la actualidad. Nos centraremos en cómo se pasa de un concepto de progreso por el avance tecnocientífico al rechazo del mismo a través de las contraculturas y los retrofuturismos, profundizando en todos los imaginarios que de ellos se desprenden. Mediante futuros que nunca existieron y pasados que pudieron haber sido, el retrofuturismo otorgará al artista una gran oportunidad para reflexionar sobre sí mismo, dejándose llevar por su lado más crítico hacia el capitalismo y el “Do It Yourself”.
Dos ejemplos de chalet en Mérida a mediados del siglo XX: los comienzos en la ocupación de un entorno arqueológico
Authors: Castro Castillo María Del Rosario
Published: February 2018

En el presente artículo ofrecemos un estudio acerca de dos proyectos para chalet que se llevaron a cabo en Mérida (Badajoz) a finales de los años cuarenta y cincuenta del siglo XX, enmarcados dentro del panorama arquitectónico general de aquella época en España para viviendas de familias acomodadas. A través de ellos puede verse la coexistencia de líneas tradicionales con otras que se esfuerzan por ser novedosas, en un momento en el que los arquitectos recién titulados tienen su inspiración fundamental en historicismos nacionales o en movimientos europeos previos. Los proyectos estudiados corresponden una zona de expansión poblacional, donde la adecuación de las actuaciones urbanas y arquitectónicas al entorno arqueológico que las sustenta, en el caso de las ciudades históricas, se convierte en un reto que tardará, en ocasiones, decenios en materializarse.
Conservation Agriculture Effects on Crop Productivity and Soil Properties in Ethiopia

Core Ideas

Conservation agriculture (CA) was evaluated in Ethiopia.

Short and medium‐term effects of CA depends on initial soil properties.

Improved water infiltration and crop yield can occur in the short‐term.

Yield increase in the short‐term is less likely with moderate soil in humid areas.

Canopy reflectance can be used to study in‐season effects of no‐till and residue.

Conservation agriculture (CA) is common globally but not in tropical Africa, including Ethiopia. Conservation agriculture was evaluated at Bako (short‐term CA study) and Melkassa (medium‐term CA study) in Ethiopia for effects on crop yield and soil properties. Results showed the rate of water infiltration was 16% more at Bako and 15% less at Melkassa for conventional practice (CP) (tillage plus crop residue removal) compared with CA (no tillage plus residue retention). Time‐to‐pond was doubled and soil penetration resistance was 7 kP less for the 0–0.1 m depth with CA maize (Zea mays L.)–dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) rotation compared to CP maize monoculture at Melkassa. Soil organic C for the 0–0.05 m soil profile was 16 g kg−1 with CA compared with 12 g kg−1 for CP and early maize growth was slower with CA compared with CP at Melkassa. Maize stover yield was 10.14 Mg ha−1 for CP compared with 9.01 Mg ha−1 for CA in 2015 at Bako, but maize yields were greater with CA at Melkassa in 2016. Monoculture and intercrop dry bean, respectively, had 40 and 32% more grain yield with CA compared to CP in 2016 at Melkassa. It was concluded that medium‐term beneficial effects of CA on soil properties and crop productivity can be expected at Melkassa, but any short‐term benefits of CA at Bako were uncertain.
USTALIĞIN SIRRI: YETENEK Mİ KASITLI ALIŞTIRMA MI?
Authors: GÜLÇAY Çiğdem
Published: February 2018

Uzmanlık (expertise) çalışmalarının temel amacı, belirli bir
alanda olağanüstü ya da üstün
becerilere sahip insanları diğer insanlardan ayıran özellikleri anlamaya ve
açıklamaya çalışmaktır (Ericsson ve Smith 1991: 2). Uzman performansını
açıklamaya yönelik öne sürülen kuramlardan biri olan kasıtlı alıştırma kuramına
göre, uzman
performansı bireylerin kendi performansını geliştirmek için uzun süre devam
eden çabalarının bir sonucudur (Ericsson vd. 1993: 400). Buna göre, farklı uzmanlık
düzeylerinde (örneğin, acemi ve usta seviyedeki bireyler) ya da aynı uzman
grupları (örneğin, elit sanatçılar) arasında performansta gözlenen bireysel
farklılıklar yetenekten ziyade bireylerin yaptıkları kasıtlı alıştırma miktarıyla
oldukça yakından ilişkilidir. Kasıtlı alıştırma
ve uzman performansı arasındaki ilişki bugüne kadar birçok farklı alanda incelenmiştir.
Bu çalışmada müzik, satranç ve spor gibi profesyonel uzmanlık alanlarında
kasıtlı alıştırma ve uzman performansı arasındaki ilişkiyi inceleyen
çalışmalara yer verilerek uzmanlıkta kasıtlı alıştırmanın rolü incelenmiştir.
The modernization of the educational system in France: the New Public Management between the affirmation of the State and the decentralized government
Authors: Derouet Jean-Louis
Published: February 2018

This text examines the process of modernization of the Educational System in France. It aims to understand the affirmation of the State and the decentralized government in the context of the discussion of the New Public Management. It examines the legacies, narratives, and policies of modernization, as well as the paradoxes of the new French public administration in education. It is questioned if the New Public Management was, in fact, implemented in the French educational system. It is stated that, in education, only administrative and financial responsibility entered the institutions without making many consequences on the work of teachers. The main teachers and supervisors are signing contracts and developing evaluations and audits, but the bureaucratic structure still prevails. It is understood, however, that a third way, between the State and the market, is being sought, especially regarding decentralization, with the emphasis on the most shared local responsibilities and the possible changes in the status of civil servants.
L’action pédagogique des chefs d’établissements français: opportunités et tensions
Authors: Barrère Anne
Published: February 2018

Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar as representações e as convicções dos gestores principais de instituições francesas de ensino médio da região Norte da França e demarcar as principais tensões com as quais esses gestores se confrontam em suas novas missões pedagógicas. O estudo é resultado de pesquisa qualitativa sobre o trabalho dos gestores principais e a partir das experiências de colaboração da autora em vários mestrados profissionais destinados a estes profissionais. Conclui-se que na instituição escolar, apesar de progredir pouco a pouco, a autonomia dos docentes ainda é pouco discutida e, na França, ainda é forte o estabelecimento da burocracia nas relações entre os profissionais que nela atuam. Ainda existe a influência das configurações locais das instituições e diversos fatores envolvidos em favor das novas missões estabelecidas para os gestores principais, objeto de estudo deste artigo.
La globalización de la rendición de cuentas en el ámbito educativo: una revisión de factores y actores de difusión de políticas
Authors: Verger Antoni , Parcerisa Lluís
Published: February 2018

El artículo analiza los factores y condiciones que han favorecido la difusión de las políticas de rendición de cuentas a escala global, y el papel desempeñado por las organizaciones internacionales (OI) más prominentes en el campo educativo al respecto. Metodológicamente, el artículo se basa en una aproximación a la revisión de la literatura conocida como scoping review que incluye 51 artículos. El artículo muestra que la globalización de la rendición de cuentas en educación es el resultado de la confluencia de factores de una naturaleza muy diferente, e identifica las convergencias y divergencias entre diferentes OIs a la hora de promover reformas basadas en la rendición de cuentas.
