Published: August 2022

O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a associação entre o desperdício de alimentos e a aceitabilidade do cardápio, bem como avaliar o impacto da campanha contra o desperdício de alimentos no resto ingestão no restaurante de uma instituição pública de ensino. A coleta dos dados em relação à aceitabilidade dos comensais e ao resto alimentar provenientes dos pratos após a refeição foi realizada durante 24 dias. A ação de sensibilização dos comensais em relação ao desperdício aconteceu após 12 dias de pesagem dos restos de alimentos. Foi calculado o índice de aceitabilidade para os cardápios e o resto ingestão per capita. Não foi encontrada diferença significativa entre o resto ingestão antes e após a campanha sobre o desperdício. Os valores de resto ingestão per capita foram considerados satisfatório em 80% dos dias, e não associados com a aceitabilidade do cardápio ou das preparações avaliadas. Encontrou-se boa aceitação para todos os cardápios, sendo 95,8% para os pratos principais e 83,4% para as guarnições. Houve associação entre a aceitação do cardápio e a aceitação do prato principal (r = 0,7 p = 0,01). É importante manter a realização de ações de educação alimentar e nutricional, bem como o monitoramento da aceitabilidade das preparações e dos restos de alimentos.

Published: August 2022

Amplas tendências econômicas, sociais e organizacionais podem afetar as empresas e suas práticas individuais, motivando a inserção da perspectiva relacional no estudo dos determinantes da adoção de práticas de contabilidade gerencial avançadas. Neste contexto, este estudo se valeu da Teoria dos Custos de Transação (TCT), que explica a cooperação interorganizacional como uma possibilidade de garantir os custos de transação reduzidos. Além da hierarquia, o mercado e as formas híbridas de governança das transações, previstas pela TCT, diferem entre si, principalmente, dependendo das características das transações e do regime de direito contratual ao qual estão sujeitas. Nesta perspectiva, Assim, objetivou-se analisar como os atributos distintivos das transações e dos contratos nas relações com fornecedores estão associados a adoção de práticas de contabilidade gerencial avançadas. Realizou-se estudo de casos múltiplos, em seis indústrias definidas por amostragem teórica, por meio de entrevistas e observação direta, analisadas com apoio da análise de conteúdo e seguindo roteiro proposto por Eisenhardt (1989). Os resultados sinalizaram que a celebração de contratos formais e sua completude com fornecedores estão associados com a adoção de práticas de contabilidade gerencial avançadas, inicialmente impactando aquelas relativas a avaliação de desempenho e, à medida que a vigência contratual se amplia e a completude do contrato percebida aumenta, o avanço nas práticas se verifica naquelas relativas a custos e controle financeiro e a planejamento e orçamentos.

Published: August 2022

A aplicação das normas brasileiras de contabilidade convergidas às internacionais abrangeu alterações que culminaram na adoção de um novo padrão institucional e, entre as alterações advindas desse processo, destaca-se a maior evidenciação do ativo imobilizado. Assim, este estudo tem como objetivo identificar o índice de conformidade do segmento industrial quanto à evidenciação proposta pela NBC TG 27 (R4), nas empresas com sede no Rio Grande do Sul, sob a ótica da teoria institucional. Para atingir este objetivo, a amostra foi composta por 37 indústrias de capital fechado que publicaram suas demonstrações contábeis no Diário Oficial do estado referente aos exercícios de 2010 a 2016. Por meio destes dados foi construído o índice de conformidade (IC) e, posteriormente, este foi analisado descritivamente sob a ótica da Teoria Institucional. Também foi realizada a Análise de Variância (ANOVA) para identificar se há diferenças entre determinadas características das empresas e o índice de conformidade perante à norma. Os resultados evidenciaram que houve evolução de 11% no índice de conformidade no período para a amostra analisada. Sob a ótica da Teoria Institucional, verificou-se que o procedimento de institucionalização das indústrias ocorreu de forma gradual em todos os quesitos da norma contábil referente ao ativo imobilizado. Também foi identificado que determinadas características da empresa como o tamanho e o índice de liquidez corrente podem afetar o índice de conformidade com a norma.

Published: August 2022

A proposta deste ensaio consistiu em refletir sobre os impactos epistemológicos e práticos que o desenvolvimento da Data Science trouxe para a área de marketing, focando a discussão em torno do conceito de marketing analytics. Neste ensaio teórico, defendemos a posição de que marketing analytics decorre de um diálogo interdisciplinar entre marketing e Data Science com impactos na prática gerencial de marketing. Também entendemos que, em termos epistemológicos, a lógica abdutiva está subjacente ao marketing analytics. Sendo assim, essa vertente, com preceitos epistemológicos e operacionais distintos do convencional, também tem potencial de revolucionar o universo acadêmico, e consequentemente, o pensamento e a prática de pesquisa em marketing, apontando para novas oportunidades de construção de conhecimento, baseada em dados intensivos e em métodos mais flexíveis.

Neste sentido, este trabalho tem o objetivo de discutir as estratégias de resolução de conflitos interpessoais entre professores e alunos adotadas em uma universidade pública federal. Os resultados foram obtidos através de uma pesquisa exploratória, a partir da coleta de dados com 29 professores e 476 alunos desta instituição. O estudo indica que alguns métodos utilizados pela instituição são inadequados para os tipos de conflitos apresentados, requerendo que a gestão universitária reflita sobre a importância do seu papel na gestão de conflitos interpessoais e identifique outras estratégias para a condução das situações experienciadas neste espaço.
Rola i miejsce Afryki w angielskim handlu zewnętrznym (i kolonialnym) w XVIII wieku
Authors: Robak Piotr
Published: August 2022

Western Africa was a very important feature of the Euroatlantic trade system created by England, and later by Great Britain, from the second half of the 17th century. The factories, founded here on the Atlantic coast (or taken away from the Dutch and French colonial area) together with Portugeuse trade settlements (thanks to the peace treaty from 1703) existed in the scheme of socalled Atlantic triangle. The merchandises were exported from the British Isles to Western Africa where these were exchanged for the local materials (especially gold and ivory). These materials were transported (legally or not) to both Americas. The slave trade was also the very important element of this exchange system in the period. The British trade with Western Africa was initially organized by trade companies. The individual tradesmen, however, took part in this commercial traffic in the 18th century (especially in the slave trade) to the significant degree. These individual commercial activities disorganized earlier created Euroatlantic mercantile system of British foreign (and colonial) trade. It is necessary to stress here that the direct trade exchange between Western Africa and Great Britain was developing at that time together with the British reexport of tropic merchandises on European markets. In spite of it, the African market played the smaller role in the British system of foreign trade than the American and Asian markets. The African market, however, developed its position to the significant degree in the Atlantic trade sphere in the 18th century.

Celem opracowania jest analiza przekazu medialnego (przedstawionego w Internecie, lokalnej prasie, telewizji, radiu) dotyczącego turystyki i jego odbioru głównie wśród mieszkańców Łodzi (145 e-ankiet) w pierwszym roku pandemii COVID-19. Turystyka dla Łodzi jest istotną działalnością społeczno-gospodarczą. Pandemia COVID-19 w znacznym stopniu ograniczyła tę działalność. Znalazło to swoje odzwierciedlenie w informacjach przekazywanych przez lokalne media, które szczególnie akcentowały trudności w funkcjonowaniu łódzkich instytucji i przedsiębiorstw turystycznych w 2020 r., spowodowane wprowadzonymi ogólnokrajowymi ograniczeniami w związku z pandemią COVID-19. Opinię tę, przekazywaną przez lokalne media, podzielali również respondenci. Świadczy to o znaczącym wpływie lokalnych mediów na kształtowanie opinii o trudnej sytuacji instytucji i przedsiębiorstw turystycznych w Łodzi, będącej wynikiem pandemii COVID-19.
Groundspotting w przestrzeni turystycznej Łodzi
Authors: Łuć Bartłomiej
Published: August 2022

W ciągu kilku ostatnich lat widoczny jest wzrost popularności turystyki sportowej. Wśród jej typów wyróżniana jest fanoturystyka, tzn. turystyka kibiców związana z odwiedzaniem atrakcji turystycznych łączonych ze sportem. Jedną z jej form jest groundspotting odnoszący się do zwiedzania stadionów poza czasem rozgrywania meczów i organizowania innych wydarzeń sportowych. Groundspotting funkcjonuje także w przestrzeni turystycznej Łodzi.
W niniejszym artykule autor przeanalizował, jak groundspotting oddziałuje na turystykę sportową w Łodzi. Metody badawcze, jakimi się posłużył, to kwerenda literatury i materiałów źródłowych opracowanych przez pracowników obiektów sportowych i muzeów tematycznie związanych ze sportem. Ponadto autor przeprowadził również inwentaryzację terenową łódzkich obiektów, w których potencjalnie występuje zjawisko groundspottingu.
Przeprowadzone badania wykazały, że groundspotting w przestrzeni turystycznej Łodzi funkcjonuje, jednak ma niewielkie znaczenie i perspektywy jego rozwoju nie są optymistyczne.
El capital público como factor determinante del crecimiento económico. El caso ecuatoriano, 2001–2017
Authors: Díaz Kovalenko Igor Ernesto , Arévalo Briones Karina Patricia
Published: August 2022

En este artículo se analiza la importancia de la inversión pública como determinante del crecimiento económico, específicamente se aborda el caso ecuatoriano a través del análisis de la etapa 2001-2017, caracterizada por la adopción del dólar como moneda oficial y en gran parte por una fuerte expansión fiscal. Se utiliza una función de producción agregada que incluye al capital público. De esta manera podemos descomponer el crecimiento económico a través del método estadístico de contabilidad del crecimiento, utilizando dos grupos claramente diferenciados: la acumulación de factores productivos (crecimiento extensivo), incluyendo el capital físico público y el progreso tecnológico (crecimiento intensivo).
Los resultados obtenidos confirman que la acumulación de capital físico y especialmente el incremento del empleo han tenido un papel destacado en los avances en la renta per cápita en las últimas décadas, mientras que la aportación de la productividad total de los factores ha sido mucho más moderada. Así, para el período 2001-2017, la contribución media del capital público fue de 0,49 puntos porcentuales al crecimiento medio anual de la producción del 3,82%, lo que significa que en torno al 13% del crecimiento registrado ha sido debido al efecto del capital público.

Se evaluó el efecto de concentraciones crecientes de Clorhidrato de Lisozima (CL) sobre la emisión in vitro de CO2 y las pérdidas energéticas asociadas al metano entérico, en sustrato fibroso con alimento concentrado (Conc.). Se estudiaron tres tratamientos: TC1: pasto guinea (Panicum maximun Jacq.) lignificado, TC2: Concentrado 18 % PC y TC3: 75% pasto + 25% concentrado), cada uno a tres dosis (80000; 160000 y 320000 UI/kg). Distribuidos en: T1: Pasto, T1/80: Pasto+CL80000, T1/160: Pasto+CL160000, T1/320: Pasto+CL320000, T2: Conc., T2/80: Conc.+CL80000, T2/160: Conc.+CL160000, T2/320: Conc.+CL320000, T3: Pasto+Conc. T3/80: Pasto+Conc.+CL80000, T3/160: Pasto+Conc.+CL160000, T3/320: Pasto+Conc.+CL320000. Los tiempos de incubación fueron: 3, 6, 12, 24, 48 y 72 horas. Los resultados indican que la adición de CL entre 80000 y 160000 UI/kg, aumentó (P<0.05) la degradación de la MS del pasto y TC3. La incorporación de 160000 UI/kg en T3/160 redujo en 72% la emisión de CO2. El mayor valor de producción de CO2 (472 ppm), lo registró T1/160 con 160000 UI/Kg CL. Los tratamientos que contenían CL (T3/80, T3/160, T3/320) redujeron (P<0.05) la producción de CO2 (443 ppm) con respecto al control (1710 ppm). El pasto con CL a diferentes dosis, redujo (P<0.05) las pérdidas energéticas asociadas a la producción de metano en 10.74% (80000 UI/kg) y 14.72% (160000 y 320000 UI/kg). En conclusión, el uso de Lisozima mejoró la tasa de utilización in vitro de la dieta (75% pasto + 25% concentrado) y redujo las emisiones de CO2 y las pérdidas energéticas asociadas con las emisiones CH4.
Comunicación gubernamental
Authors: Iotti Andrea Liliana , Bruno Daniela , Acha Manuela
Published: August 2022

El artículo centra la atención en las prácticas comunicacionales de gobierno que se dieron en los ministerios de Educación, Salud y Desarrollo Social durante las presidencias de Cristina Fernández (2011-2015) y Mauricio Macri (2015-2019) en Argentina. En este marco, se reflexiona sobre el rol profesional de los comunicadores gubernamentales encargados de la tarea y se analiza el lugar del área de prensa y comunicación en la arquitectura institucional de los ministerios nacionales. En tal sentido, se observa que durante el gobierno kirchnerista el protagonismo estuvo en los equipos de comunicación ministeriales, mientras que en la gestión de la alianza Cambiemos las decisiones recayeron sobre la Jefatura de gobierno y Presidencia de la Nación. Por otra parte, se observa que la diversificación y especialización del área es un rasgo característico de ambas administraciones, lo cual permitió que la comunicación ganara centralidad desde el punto de vista directivo y de gestión, aunque la consideración de los profesionales siguió ocupando, a nivel operativo, un lugar tradicional o secundario.
Los contratiempos del Frente de Liberación Homosexual
Authors: Vespucci Guido
Published: August 2022

El artículo ensaya una interpretación acerca del rol histórico que pretendió ejercer el Frente de Liberación Homosexual (FLH) de la Argentina en el marco de las transformaciones del campo cultural y político de los años 60 y mediados del 70 en dicho país, y busca contribuir a dilucidar las razones por las cuales los objetivos del FLH no lograron alcanzarse –al menos en este período histórico–. Si en otros trabajos hemos ponderado el margen de agencia del FLH a través del análisis del marco interpretativo elaborado en tanto movimiento social, aquí se busca focalizar en el envés de esa positividad. Es decir, se apunta a destacar los factores constrictivos que operaron sobre tal experiencia, tanto desde los condicionantes históricos y estructurales –resueltos mediante el concepto de campo cultural y político–, como desde las interpretaciones que sus integrantes establecieron sobre dicho campo. En este último sentido, el trabajo puntualiza en su accionar y en sus claves de lectura (marco interpretativo) en tanto intelectuales. De allí que el artículo se desliza entre una sociología de la cultura en clave histórica y una sociología de los intelectuales en clave cultural y política

Collaboration is one of the defining features of work and learning in the 21st century. Yet despite the proliferation of Google apps and devices for collaboration across North American school systems, the scope of research on student collaboration using Google technologies in elementary school settings is limited. This paper presents findings from two cases in grade five classrooms where teachers were experimenting with using Google Docs and Chromebooks in their literacy programs. Drawing on a conceptual framework of sociomaterial, complexity, and affect theories, the study offers insights for teachers to understand the complexities of collaboration with these technologies, and pedagogical implications for working with the magic and monsters of unintended effects in collaborative literacy practices.

The aim of this study was to identify the effectiveness of using the Visual-Spatial Approach (VSA) to teach physics and its effect on reflection skills of Grade 10 female students, Al-Shamayatain District, Taiz Governorate. To achieve the aims of this study and according to the VSA, the researchers prepared a guide to teach two units from the book of Physics of Grade 10 which are “Thermometry” and “The Effect of Heat on Objects”. To examine the students’ reflection skills, the researchers prepared a test consisting of 24 multiple choice items; the test was checked for its validity and reliability. The test was administered to a purposive sample of 85 students at Al-Khair School, Aza’iz village. The students were divided into two groups: the experimental group which consisted of 42 students and the control group which consisted of 43 students. The participants of the experimental group were taught the two units using the VSA, whereas the participants of the control group were taught the same units using the traditional method. The results showed that there were significant statistical differences at the level (α = 0.05) between the average scores of the two groups, in favor of the experimental group. This indicated that the VSA approach has an effect on reflection skills compared to the traditional one. Furthermore, the results showed that there were significant statistical differences between the average results of pre and posttests, in favor of the post test administered to the experimental group. Based on these results, it is recommended that the Visual-Spatial Approach be used to teach physics for secondary school students. It is also advised that Physics’ teachers should be trained to use this approach in teaching.

West Borneo is a province that has abundant biodiversity, based on data from the Central Statistics Agency. So far, education about medicinal plants is presented in the form of physical books. Unfortunately, the data and information about the types of medicinal plants have not been stored and documented properly. The absence of information technology in the form of a database that stores data about medicinal plants and their use causes information about these medicinal plants to be less known to the public. If allowed to continue, the government does not have a regional medicinal plant data center and the public is less familiar with and utilizes regional medicinal plant species, as a result, efforts to preserve medicinal plants as an ancestral medicinal culture will eventually become extinct. This research is the result of a literature study. Then a literature study or literature review is carried out with the data used sourced from scientific journal research and data related to existing research. Where the results of the literature study are the design of an ethnomedical information system in West Kalimantan. The results of a literature search found 85 species representing medicinal plants are still often used today by the Dayak community in West Borneo. The information system is expected to assist the community in knowing local medicinal plants and introducing ethnomedicine as well as a medium for learning local plants.Abstrak Kalimantan Barat merupakan provinsi yang memiliki keanekaragaman hayati yang melimpah, berdasarkan data Badan Pusat Statistik. Selama ini pendidikan tentang tanaman obat disajikan dalam bentuk buku fisik. Sayangnya, data dan informasi tentang jenis-jenis tanaman obat belum tersimpan dan terdokumentasi dengan baik. Belum adanya teknologi informasi berupa database yang menyimpan data tentang tanaman obat dan pemanfaatannya menyebabkan informasi tentang tanaman obat tersebut kurang diketahui masyarakat. Jika dibiarkan terus, pemerintah tidak memiliki pusat data tumbuhan obat daerah dan masyarakat kurang mengenal dan memanfaatkan jenis tumbuhan obat daerah, akibatnya upaya pelestarian tumbuhan obat sebagai budaya obat nenek moyang pada akhirnya akan punah. Penelitian ini merupakan hasil studi Metode penelitian ini adalah kualitatif untuk mengetahui pemanfaatan tumbuhan di Kalimantan Barat sebagai obat bagi masyarakat Dayak. Kemudian dilakukan studi kepustakaan atau literature review dengan data yang digunakan bersumber dari penelitian jurnal ilmiah dan data yang berkaitan dengan penelitian yang ada. Dimana hasil dari studi literatur adalah perancangan sistem informasi etnomedis di Kalimantan Barat. Hasil penelusuran literatur ditemukan 85 jenis tumbuhan obat yang masih sering dimanfaatkan oleh masyarakat Dayak di Kalimantan Barat hingga saat ini. Sistem informasi ini diharapkan dapat membantu masyarakat dalam mengenal tanaman obat lokal dan mengenalkan etnomedika serta sebagai media pembelajaran tanaman lokal.

The “Dravidian model”: egalitarianism and healthcare reform
Authors: Kumbhar Kiran
Published: August 2022

Throughout the post-independence period, the state of Tamil Nadu has consistently performed better than most other states in several major healthcare indicators, including infant mortality rate and total fertility rate. At the same time, it has received praise for the deep penetration and robust functioning of its public health system. Tamil Nadu’s achievements in healthcare have been analysed in a number of scholarly studies in the past, and a recent book by Kalaiyarasan A and Vijayabaskar M, titled “The Dravidian Model: Interpreting the Political Economy of Tamil Nadu,” is the latest addition to this literature. The authors argue that the state’s uniqueness in human and social development primarily originates in the egalitarian politics and radical social movements of the early twentieth century which constituted a “Dravidian common-sense” that has since “shaped the development trajectory of the state.” Their arguments on the significance of egalitarian politics in improvements in health and wellbeing receive ample support from existing social sciences literature on health, equity, and justice.
