Abstract: Tuberculosis is an infectious disease and according to the World Health Organization, the number of deaths due to the disease may be related to the renunciation of treatment, as it favors maintenance of the transmission chain and increases the bacterial resistance to the first drugs choice. This study aimed to evaluate the recurrence of tuberculosis in the city of Juazeiro do Norte-CE in the period from 2015 to 2018 regarding the sociodemographic profile of patients, comorbidities, number of contacts, sputum smear, sputum culture. This is a cross-sectional retrospective, descriptive study. Twenty-two cases of recidivism, with a higher prevalence of males, were observed in brown individuals with low educational level. The most prevalent form was pulmonary. The prevalence of Tuberculosis is still a challenge for public health, recidivist cases deserve to be evaluated with more criteria taking into account socioeconomic and demographic aspects. Keywords: Recidivism. Resistance. Tuberculosis.
Reflections on Trust and Covid 19: Do Politics, Medicine and the Environment need each other?
Authors: Cole Alistair , Dutheil Frederic , Baker Julien S.
Published: August 2020

The short article is centered on how trust can be a valuable resource for developing cognate responses to the Covid 19 pandemic in the medical and social sciences. Politics and Medicine can learn from each other. Governments need to persuade individuals to adapt their behaviors, and such persuasion will be all the more convincing in that it is nested in social networks. Trust in government requires consistent (benevolent, performative and joined-up) explanations. The distinction between hard medical and soft social science blurs when patients/citizens are required to be active participants in combatting a pandemic virus.

Le concile de Constance est ouvert par le pape Jean XXIII en novembre 1414 afin de résoudre le schisme qui divise l’Église d’Occident depuis 1378. Les Pères conciliaires sont regroupés en quatre puis cinq nations conciliaires dont la nation française. Qui est-elle ?

Cet ouvrage se propose d’abord de répondre à cette question par le biais d’une étude prosopographique. Il s’agit d’identifier les membres de la nation française, de déterminer leur appartenance à des réseaux, qu’ils soient curiaux, familiaux, religieux, universitaires ou politiques. Ce travail s’attarde aussi sur les conflits entre les nations conciliaires et sur la construction de l’identité nationale française dans le cadre conciliaire.

À l’occasion du sixième centenaire de la réunion de ce concile, cet ouvrage apporte un regard renouvelé sur le rôle qu’y jouent les membres de la nation française.
On trouvera également dans cet ouvrage les notices biographiques des Pères conciliaires membres de la nation française.

Published: August 2020

This study was conducted to evaluate the utilization of chard (Beta vulgaris L. var. cicla) powder (CP) as a natural nitrate source in heat-treated sucuk (fermented Turkish sausage). Control (CN) sample was formulated with 150 ppm sodium nitrate, whereas CP1 sample was formulated with 75 ppm sodium nitrate plus 75 ppm-nitrate containing CP, and CP2 sample was formulated with 150 ppm-nitrate containing CP. No differences were obtained in chemical composition (P >0.05). Increased CP level resulted in increased pH and decreased acidity and L*, a*, and b* values (P <0.05). The highest residual nitrite concentrations were recorded in CN samples in the dough and after fermentation (P <0.05). Heat treatment affected residual nitrite levels of CP1 and CP2 samples, and in final products, CP2 samples had the highest residual nitrite content (P <0.05). Consequently, utilization of additional ingredients and/or innovative applications would be necessary in combination with naturally nitrate-containing sources.

Early investigations of the neuroticism by conscientiousness interaction with regards to health have been promising, but to date, there have been no systematic investigations of this interaction that account for the various personality measurement instruments, varying populations, or aspects of health. The current study – the second of three – uses a coordinated analysis approach to test the impact of the neuroticism by conscientiousness interaction on the prevalence and incidence of chronic conditions. Using 15 pre-existing longitudinal studies (N > 49,375), we found that conscientiousness did not moderate the relationship between neuroticism and having hypertension (OR = 1.00,95%CI[0.98,1.02]), diabetes (OR = 1.02[0.99,1.04]), or heart disease (OR = 0.99[0.97,1.01]). Similarly, we found that conscientiousness did not moderate the prospective relationship between neuroticism and onset of hypertension (OR = 0.98[0.95,1.01]), diabetes (OR = 0.99[0.94,1.05]), or heart disease (OR = 0.98[0.94,1.03]). Heterogeneity of effect sizes was largely nonsignificant, with one exception, indicating that the effects are consistent between datasets. Overall, we conclude that there is no evidence that healthy neuroticism, operationalized as the conscientiousness by neuroticism interaction, buffers against chronic conditions.
The Influence of Mental Imagery Instructions and Personality Characteristics on Reading Experiences
Authors: Mak Marloes , de Vries Clarissa , Willems Roel M.
Published: August 2020

It is well established that readers form mental images when reading a narrative. However, the consequences of mental imagery (i.e. the influence of mental imagery on the way people experience stories) are still unclear. Here we manipulated the amount of mental imagery that participants engaged in while reading short literary stories in two experiments. Participants received pre-reading instructions aimed at encouraging or discouraging mental imagery. After reading, participants answered questions about their reading experiences. We also measured individual trait differences that are relevant for literary reading experiences. The results from the first experiment suggests an important role of mental imagery in determining reading experiences. However, the results from the second experiment show that mental imagery is only a weak predictor of reading experiences compared to individual (trait) differences in how imaginative participants were. Moreover, the influence of mental imagery instructions did not extend to reading experiences unrelated to mental imagery. The implications of these results for the relationship between mental imagery and reading experiences are discussed.

Objetivo. Realizar la detección y tipificación de virus papiloma humano (VPH) en la cavidad bucal de un grupo de pacientes VIH positivos, atendidos en el Centro de Atención de Pacientes con Enfermedades Infectocontagiosas (CAPEI) de la Facultad de Odontología-Universidad Central de Venezuela. Métodos. Se evaluaron 31 hisopados bucales de pacientes VIH positivos para la infección por VPH, mediante el Sistema de Hibridación Reversa de INNO-LiPA que detecta 28 genotipos de VPH de alto y bajo riesgo oncogénico. Resultados. El 61,0% de las muestras evaluadas presentó infección por VPH. El genotipo 6 fue el más frecuente (73,68%), seguido de los genotipos 18, 11 y 16 con 63,16%, 37,0% y 32,0% respectivamente. El 74,0% de las muestras positivas para VPH presentaron infecciones múltiples, siendo más frecuente la coinfección mixta (35,70%) con los genotipos de VPH-6/18 de bajo y alto riesgo oncogénico, 21,40% con los genotipos 6/11/18 y 6/11, cada una. Seguido de 14,30% de las muestras que presentaron infección con VPH-6/11/16/18 y 7,10% con los genotipos 11/16 de bajo y alto riesgo oncogénico. Conclusiones. La alta frecuencia de infección con VPH de alto riesgo oncogénico y la presencia de múltiples genotipos observada en la cavidad bucal de individuos VIH positivos, que no presentaron lesiones compatibles con esta infección en el examen extra e intrabucal, indica que los métodos moleculares de diagnóstico son importantes en la detección de infecciones subclínicas y latentes, lo que puede permitir un mejor seguimiento y manejo más oportuno de estos pacientes con mayor riesgo de desarrollar neoplasias malignas en la cavidad bucal.

Published: August 2020

En el Ecuador se presenta una alta prevalencia e incidencia de diferentes patologías bucales, este escenario es similar en muchos países de la región. Las enfermedades orales constituyen un problema de salud pública, debido a que requiere un alto costo en su manejo y control; es por ello que se ha generado énfasis en realizar actividades preventivas que permitan mejorar el panorama. Han sido varias las medidas adoptadas por entes gubernamentales en el Ecuador para reducir la incidencia principalmente de caries dental, desde la prevención masiva a través de la fluoración de diferentes elementos de consumo humano, la promoción y prevención de salud oral a través de la enseñanza de técnicas de cepillado dental, difusión del correcto uso de seda dental, detección temprana de placa bacteriana, charlas educativas motivadoras y colocación de sellantes en superficies oclusales de molares definitivos en escolares de poblaciones urbano-marginales y rurales. Sin embargo, dichas estrategias no han conseguido ser monitoreadas, evaluadas ni reportadas para conocer su efectividad en la mejora de la salud oral en nuestro país.

El objetivo del estudio fue describir un caso de infestación de Piscinoodinium pillulare y mortalidad en juveniles de Colossoma macropomum. En marzo de 2019, ante una creciente ocurrencia de mortalidad en los peces de un estanque de tierra, se colectaron 21 ejemplares juveniles de un cultivo en la zona de Maynas, Loreto (Perú). Se realizó el análisis parasitológico de las partes externas de los peces y se observó la presencia de P. pillulare localizados en la piel, aletas, branquias y fosas nasales. Asimismo, se registró una mortalidad de 30% (1500 de 5000 sembrados). La no desinfección del estanque, el inadecuado control en la alimentación, y la proliferación de Oreochromis niloticus (tilapia) en el cultivo fueron los causantes de la proliferación de P. pillulare. Este es el primer caso reportado de infestación de P. pillulare en juveniles de C. macropomum cultivados en Amazonia Peruana.

El objetivo del trabajo fue evaluar el efecto de la presencia de residuos de antibióticos β-lactámicos y tetraciclinas, así como las propiedades fisicoquímicas de la leche fresca adquirida por los Comités de Vaso de Leche de dos distritos de Apurímac, Perú. Se analizaron muestras de leche por triplicado, provenientes de 37 y 32 comités de los distritos de San Jerónimo y Andahuaylas, respectivamente. Se determinaron las propiedades fisicoquímicas: densidad, acidez, pH, sólidos totales (ST) y prueba de alcohol, las cuales se compararon con las Normas Técnicas Peruanas (NTP) para leche fresca. La presencia de compuestos antibióticos β-lactámicos y tetraciclinas se determinó a través del kit colorimétrico Betastar®. Las propiedades fisicoquímicas se correlacionaron con la presencia de antibióticos a través del coeficiente de Pearson. Se realizó un análisis de componentes principales (ACP). El 10.8% de las muestras de leche provenientes de los comités de San Jerónimo fue positivo para tetraciclina, mientras que el 9.4 y 3.1% de los comités de San Jerónimo y Andahuaylas, respectivamente, fueron positivos para β- lactámicos. Un alto procentaje de las muestras de leche estuvieron fuera de los rangos establecidos por las NTP para densidad, pH, acidez y ST. Del análisis ACP se desprende que la acidez y la densidad son las principales variables que pemitirían determinar la presencia de antibioticos.

Published: August 2020

A 16-year-old white boy with a history of chronic lung disease of prematurity, cough-variant asthma, and incidental lung nodules presented to the emergency center in spring 2020 with acute onset dry cough, shortness of breath, and fever. An initial history, gathered from his mother because of the patient’s respiratory distress, revealed no recent travel. However, his mother is a health care worker at a hospital, and sick contacts included ongoing contact with a friend with cold-like symptoms. He had a variety of animals at home, including a dog, cats, fish, rodents, and reptiles. He had a history of vaping tobacco products >6 months ago. Fever and respiratory symptoms were associated with fatigue, chest tightness, abdominal pain, and myalgias. On examination, he was ill appearing and had tachycardia, tachypnea, borderline hypoxia with an oxygen saturation of 91% on room air, diminished breath sounds at the lung bases, and unremarkable abdominal examination results. A chest radiograph was consistent with the lung examination, revealing bilateral lower lobe hazy infiltrates. He showed initial improvement for 48 hours with antibiotics, intravenous fluid resuscitation, oxygen via nasal cannula, albuterol, and prednisone. Subsequently, he worsened with persistent high fever, increasing respiratory distress with pulmonary findings, and severe persistent epigastric pain, which added a layer of diagnostic complexity. As this patient’s clinical course evolved and further history became available, pulmonary medicine and infectious diseases services were consulted to guide diagnostic evaluation and treatment of this patient early in the era of coronavirus disease 2019.
Duration of Resuscitation at Birth, Mortality, and Neurodevelopment: A Systematic Review

Published: August 2020

CONTEXT:

The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation Neonatal Life Support Task Force reviewed evidence for the duration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for newborns immediately after birth.

OBJECTIVE:

To summarize evidence for ongoing CPR on the outcomes of survival, neurodevelopment, and the composite of survival without moderate or severe neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI).

DATA SOURCES:

Medline, Embase, Evidence-Based Medicine Reviews, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, and Scientific Electronic Library Online were searched between inception and February 29, 2020.

STUDY SELECTION:

Two independent reviewers selected studies of newborns with at least 10 minutes of asystole, bradycardia, or pulseless electrical activity for which CPR is indicated.

DATA EXTRACTION:

Two independent reviewers extracted data and appraised the risk of bias.

RESULTS:

In 16 eligible studies, researchers reported outcomes of 579 newborns born between 1982 and 2017. Within individual studies, 2% to 100% of infants survived to last follow-up (hospital discharge through 12 years). Summarized across studies, 237 of 579 (40.9%) newborns survived to last follow-up. In 13 studies, researchers reported neurodevelopmental outcomes of 277 newborns. Of these, 30 of 277 (10.8%) survived without moderate or severe impairment, and 240 of 277 (87%) met the composite outcome of death or NDI (191 died and 49 survived with moderate or severe impairment).

LIMITATIONS:

There was very low certainty of evidence because of risk of bias and inconsistency.

CONCLUSIONS:

Infants with ongoing CPR at 10 minutes after birth are at high risk for mortality and neurodisability, but survival without moderate or severe NDI is possible. One specified duration of CPR is unlikely to uniformly predict survival or survival without neuroimpairment.

Authors: Dalström Stig , Kolanowska Marta
Published: August 2020

A new species of Chiloschista Lindl. from western Thailand is described and illustrated with a line drawing and photographs. It is compared with the sympatric C. parishii Seidenf., from which it differs in having larger flowers, which are 11–12 mm across versus 8–10 mm across for C. parishii. The new species also distinctly differs in having widely spreading rostellum lobes and a viscidium that is as broad as the length of the stipe, as opposed to downward directed rostellum lobes and a viscidium that is distinctly narrower than the length of the stipe for C. parishii. The same distinguishing features separate the new species from the similarly colored C. trudelii Seidenf., which has inward-directed rostellum lobes and a viscidium that is distinctly narrower than the length of the stipe.

Published: August 2020

The importance of bioeconomy for society and its development in the 21st century creates responsibility to monitor how national and regional economies in Europe respond to the cause called bioeconomy. The report aims to trace the change in the sectoral structure of the economy in the NUTS 2 regions in Bulgaria, paying particular attention to those who are primary consumers and producers of biological resources. For the objective and the tasks of the present study methodology for structural analysis based on aggregated nomenclature А10 from the Classification of Economic Activities (NACE.BG 2008) is applied, as well as other economic and statistical methods of analysis - growth rate and accretion, localization quotient and concentration. The indicators used are the number of employees per sector and share in the GVA of each region for four selected economic activities. The results of the study refer to the change in their localization benefits by regions for the period 2007-2016. The conclusions point to the need for a targeted support approach for identifying and developing sectoral and technological niches of bioeconomy that are promising for the respective region as well the need to develop regional statistical information for the bioeconomic sector.

Authors: Hristoskov Y.
Published: August 2020

The purpose of this article is to identify the trends and territorial differences in the economic activity, employment and unemployment, and on this grounds to recommend solutions for overcoming or reduction of the severity of the issues. The study explores the condition and disparities in the labor potential of the regions in the context of the acknowledged and ever deepening demographic crisis in Bulgaria. The object of analysis is the dynamics of the economic activity, employment and unemployment at national and regional level, represented by one summarizing indicator. The integral indicator Economically Active and Employed Population (EAEP), developed by the author, is applied in order to trace the dynamics at national level and to assess the implementation of the set national employment targets under the Europe 2020 program. A modified version of this indicator (EAEP(m)) is also applied, in order to assess the territorial fluctuations in the economic activity, employment and unemployment at the NUTS-2 level. The values ​​of this indicator obtained for each region are compared to already previously set benchmarks. On this basis, the risk regions are identified and solutions are proposed to reduce the problems.

Published: August 2020

Some coral bleaching event related to climate variability (ENSO or IOD) lead to coral mortality resulted in ecosystem damage and decreased in ecosystem health.  Artificial reef is one of management efforts adopted by stakeholders to restore coral reef condition.  Successful artificial reef could extend coral coverage and provides a new habitat for several marine organisms and could divert anthropogenic pressure on natural coral ecosystems. The current research aims are to identify the impact of artificial reef installment on ecosystem and fisheries. Three indicators for ecosystem were determined, such as an increase in coral cover, biofouling organism and fish abundance and number of fish species.  The indicator to measure artificial impact on fisheries is fish production after installment.  Data collection were done during 2017 around Bali area, including the occurrence of coral bleaching, the number of artificial reef installed and the case of positive impact of artificial reef.  The list of indicator data was done, then the data were analyzed to measure any changes occurred after artificial reef installment.  Results show that artificial reef installment has a significant impact on increasing coral cover, fouling organism, fish abundance and species richness; however the effect of artificial reef installment could not directly quantify on fish production due to unavailability of monitoring data.

SOME TECHNIQUES IN MICROPROPAGATION AND BREEDING OF Paphiopedilum spp.
Authors: Tùng Hoàng Thanh , Vu Luan Quoc , Duong Nhut
Published: August 2020

Paphiopedilum orchids are one of the most popular and rare orchid genera sold and exhibited as pot plants and cut flowers. Their wild populations are under the threat of extinction as a result of over-collection and loss of suitable habitats. Reduction in their commercial value through large-scale propagation in vitro is a preferable option to reduce pressure from illegal collection, to attempt at meeting commercial needs and to re-establish these threatened orchid species back into the wild. Although they are commercially propagated via seed germination in vitro, Paphiopedilum are considered to be difficult to propagate in vitro, especially by plant regeneration from tissue culture. This paper aims to provide the most important techniques on Paphiopedilum propagation mainly including plant, cell, tissue and organ culture techniques applied to in vitro propagation of Paphiopedilum and to emphasize the importance of further improving tissue culture protocols from ex vitro-derived explants of mature plants.

Coagulation and flocculation are preliminary used in water treatment processes for turbidity removal, using popularily synthetic chemicals with health and environmental concerns. The use of natural flocculants has known to be a promising alteratives for chemical ones due to their environmental friendly behavior. This research investigated turbidity removal efficiency of mucilage extracted from Basella alba - an indigenous species in Vietnam - in the role of a flocculant. The removal efficiency of mucilage was investigated in combination with PAC or Alum on To Lich river water by mean of Jar tests. PAC or Alum alone can remove maximum 97% and 90% turbidity of To Lich river water at its original pH for the sedimentation time of 30 minutes. The combination of mucilage and PAC or Alum increased the efficiencies of turbidity removal and reduced the amount of chemicals needed. The corresponding increases were maximum 7% and 18%, respectively; while the reduction of PAC/Alum used was 75-80%.

The aim of this randomized in vitro study was to compare the time and accuracy of implant-site preparation and implant placement using a trephine drill versus a conventional drilling technique under dynamic navigation. In total, 42 implants were placed in simulation jaw models with the 2 drilling techniques by 2 operators who had previous experience with dynamic navigation. The timing of each implant placement was recorded, and horizontal, vertical, and angulation discrepancies between the planned and placed implants were compared. There was no significant difference in time or accuracy between the trephine and conventional drilling techniques. Implant-site preparation with a single trephine drill using dynamic navigation was as accurate under in vitro experimental conditions as a conventional drilling sequence.

From Endangered Family Towards own Family – Experiences and Expectations of Social Orphans
Authors: Mencel Anita
Published: August 2020

In the contemporary world family still constitutes a superior value, but on the other hand, is subject to influences of many destabilizing factors that may disturb its appropriate functioning. “A child gets to know the world, own self, the others and life objectives directly experiencing such aspects of life within own family, as a family brings up through the presence of its members remaining with each other in a relation of love and kindness” (Kukułowicz, 2004). One of the basic functions of the family is socialisation that means “transmitting knowledge regarding the surrounding world, cultural heritage and preparation to fulfil adult social roles addressed to the offspring. The primary socialisation takes place within the family circle, where <…> an individual becomes a member of the society by internalisation and generalisation of the most overall meanings thanks to the mediation of those taking care of such individual” (Kawula, 2007). The children brought up in an orphanage are subject to a specific socialisation, located in the borderland of the functioning in an institution and the family of origin. The process of becoming independent reflects such type of socialisation.
Deficiencies of Eye Contact and Faceto-Face Interactions in Social Relations Among Children with Autism
Authors: Winczura Barbara
Published: August 2020

Ability to read information from human face is compelling for social communication as it enables to understand emotions experienced by other persons, their intentions and needs, what in turn can allow to predict their behavior, hence it is one of the first stages of developing knowledge on other people. As the research and observations prove, from very early stage of growth the infants realize that a human face is an object of crucial meaning. While entering face-to-face interaction and establishing eye contact they learn convictions of mental and social lives of others. Problems with social communication of children with autism, particularly in terms of eye contact and looking at the partner of an interaction, allow to distinguish children with autism from their peers with other developmental disorders. Children with autism observe people less, and if they do, they do not concentrate on their faces. Moreover, they are not interested in what others express while establishing eye contact, hence not reading their facial expression nor recognizing emotions noticeable from face. On top of that, they do not react, or react with delay to the stimuli, avoiding direct eye contact. Therefore, they are unable to read the intention of the direction or expression of the eye contact as a tip useful in interpreting others’ behavior, and since children with autism do not understand the meaning of information contained within facial expression and eye contact, their range of social experiences during conversation is significantly limited. It profoundly affects their social communication with other people, particularly as far as initiating and maintaining interactions are concerned.
Proposal for suppliers evaluation using the integration of AHP/QFD methods
Authors: Galiotto Juliane Carolina , Cassel Ricardo Augusto
Published: August 2020

Abstract The present work has as main objective the development and presentation of a model for supplier’s evaluation. The proposed model includes the criteria of the lean concept and provides a comprehensive analysis for decision-making in the area of supplies. The work involved 05 steps: (i) identify and select the main criteria for lean suppliers management; (ii) perform the weighting of criteria using the AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process); (iii) define the indicators to be used for the suppliers analysis in every sub-criteria; (iv) calculate the relative weight of each indicator through the analysis of interdependence between the sub-criteria and indicators; (v) testing partially the model through the application of the same in a product group in the reality of a company. The main contribution of this paper is to propose a model that combines the method AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) used for multiple criteria decision-making method with QFD (Quality Function Deployment) able to translate these criteria in guidelines for the supply management. From a practical point of view, the importance of this article is to present a relatively simple model for the systematization of building supply indicators. The obtained results recommend the use of this template.

Objective: to evaluate the relation and the moderating effect of the organizational factors on the attitudes towards communication, empathy, and emotional intelligence in the nurses. Method: a cross-sectional study was conducted with a convenience sample of 268 nurses from Valencia, Spain. The attitudes towards communication were evaluated by means of the specifically designed instrument, those towards empathy with the Jefferson’s Scale of Empathy for Nursing Students, and those towards emotional intelligence by means of the Trait Meta-Mood Scale, consisting of 24 items. The effect of the studied variables was assessed by means of ANOVA, multiple linear regression models were applied, and the moderating effect was analyzed using PROCESS. Results: there are statistically significant differences based on the type on contract (permanent); and statistically significant differences were found in the cognitive dimension of the attitudes towards communication. Regarding the regression models, the perspective taking dimension of empathy was the main predictive variable tn the dimensions of the attitudes towards communication. Finally, a moderating effect of the type of contract was evidenced in the effect of emotional reparation over the cognitive dimension of the attitudes towards communication. Conclusion: the organizational factors exert an influence on the attitudes towards communication, empathy, and emotional intelligence.
PREDICTORS OF WORK-RELATED WELL-BEING IN THE BRAZILIAN PSYCHOLOGY LITERATURE
Authors: VEIGA HEILA M. S. , CORTEZ PEDRO A.
Published: August 2020

ABSTRACT Purpose: We aimed to identify the effects of predictors of work-related well-being in the Brazilian Psychology literature. Originality/value: Researchers have focused on employee well-being to optimize working conditions and work performance in organizations. Despite a long research tradition about well-being, the predictors of employee well-being are not clear in the Brazilian literature. Design/methodology/approach: First, in the literature review, we selected five studies using the descriptor “well-being” in the Brazilian portal of Electronic Journals in Psychology (Periódicos Eletrônicos em Psicologia [PePSIC]) and applied inclusion and exclusion criteria. Next, we compiled those studies’ evidence to perform a meta-analysis using the software Jamovi 0.9.5.12 and the plugin MAJOR Meta-analysis 1.0.0 R. Findings: The prediction of employee well-being - performed by means of intra-individual variables, connections with organizations and labor (O&L), and macro variables - was clear about the positive and negative impacts of variables on well-being. However, further research studies are necessary, especially those in the interface with Administration and other areas, in order to optimize the generalization of the effects we found. In summary, this study contributes to the field of study by presenting preliminary evidence to elaborate high impact, evidence-based policies and practices on people management, including a possible interdisciplinary association between Psychology and Administration.

Published: August 2020

A expansão do uso das tecnologias digitais de informação e comunicação causa impacto social e quebra as barreiras físico-geográficas, permitindo o surgimento de uma nova cultura digital. Esse fato exige uma posição crítica em relação às tecnologias, bem como a revisão das formas tradicionais de ensino. Metodologias ativas de aprendizagem e as possibilidades trazidas com a aplicação das novas tecnologias digitais em contexto educacional são forças que se demonstram importantes neste cenário (Garbin; Oliveira, 2019).  Neste contexto, este artigo analisará os projetos propostos pelos alunos de Licenciatura sob dois prismas: a articulação dos conteúdos curriculares para a resolução de um problema e a utilização dos princípios das metodologias ativas no cumprimento das etapas do projeto. O cenário escolhido foi uma universidade no Estado de São Paulo durante o desenvolvimento de um processo de aprendizagem baseado em projetos com os alunos, estabelecido em seu currículo.. Para tanto, foram selecionados aleatoriamente quatro projetos desenvolvidos durante o segundo ano dos cursos de Licenciatura em Matemática e Pedagogia. A análise dos dados baseou-se na averiguação de três aspectos: problema identificado; protótipo; interdisciplinaridade. Foi possível perceber que os projetos desenvolvidos geraram práticas pedagógicas que preconizam o perfil de um professor criativo e crítico, que busca atender às necessidades de seus alunos, de acordo com o contexto educacional.
