The Role of Imaging in the Management of Renal Masses
Authors: Jiaali Ratna Sari
Published: February 2022

The widespread availability of cross-sectional imaging is responsible for the increased detection of small, usually asymptomatic renal masses. More than 50% of renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) represent incidental findings on noninvasive imaging. Multimodality imaging, including conventional US, contrast-enhanced US (CEUS), multiparametric CT and MRI (mpMRI) is essential in diagnosing and characterizing renal masses, but also provides information regarding its prognosis, therapeutic management, and follow-up. In this review, the imaging data for renal masses that urologists require for accurate treatment planning will be discussed. The roles of US, CEUS, CT and mpMRI in the detection and characterization of renal masses, RCC staging and follow-up of treated or untreated local RCCs will be presented. The role of percutaneous image-guided ablation in the management of RCC will also be reviewed

A Revisit to Higher Variations of a Functional
Authors: Gong Guobin , Jiaotong Xi'an
Published: February 2022

Two definitions of higher variations of a functional can be found in the literature of variational principles or calculus of variations, which differ by only a positive coefficient number. At first glance, such a discrepancy between the two definitions seems to be purely due to a definition-style preference, as when they degenerate to the first variation it leads to the same result. The use of higher (especially second) variations of a functional is for checking the sufficient condition for the functional to be a minimum (or maximum), and both definitions also lead to the same conclusion regarding this aspect. However, a close theoretical study in this paper shows that only one of the two definitions is appropriate and the other is advised to be discarded. A theoretical method is developed to derive the expressions for higher variations of a functional, which is used for the above claim.

Published: February 2022

Solid waste dump where leachate generated is allowed to escape to the surrounding and underlying water body is a major threat to borehole water. This study was designed to assess the impact of solid waste dumps on ground water quality and the current status of the quality of borehole water in Calabar municipality. Randomly selected boreholes around Lemna road where the final dump site of solid waste in Calabar is located, Etta Agbor area where there are no major dumpsites but a few sporadic dumps and Satellite town where there are relatively no dumpsites were thoroughly examined. Physicochemical properties of water quality were determined following standard analytical procedure and metal content by atomic absorption Spectrophotometry using Shimadzu atomic absorption spectrophotometer (model AA6800, Japan). Metal content and other physicochemical parameters generally displayed the trend Lemna road > Etta Agbor road > Satellite town. The differences were found to be statistically significant (ANOVA, p < 0.05), suggesting that solid waste dumpsites have reasonable influence on the quality of ground water in Calabar municipality. A significant (p < 0.01) positive correlation was observed between each of the metals and between the metals and most of the physicochemical parameters, suggesting that a similar source is responsible for their presence at the concentration determined. When ompared with WHO drinking water standards, borehole water in the study area especially Lemna road was seriously implicated. The study thus concludes that solid waste dumps in Calabar municipality have significant influence on the quality of ground water and that continuous use of borehole water from the study area for drinking or other domestic purposes without any form of physical or chemical treatment could pose serious toxicological risk. It was therefore recommended that ground water in Calabar municipality should be put under surveillance in other to protect it from further degradation and safeguard public health.

Published: February 2022

The issues of haphazard discharge of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHS) into aquatic environment and its adverse impact on aquatic lives have attracted wide attentions in recent times. This study therefore examined the concentrations of PAHs in some organs (muscle, gill and brain) of Tilapia species (T.guineensis and T.zilli), which are the dominant fish consumed and marketed in Bille community Niger Delta, Nigeria. Samples of the fish were collected from the effluent impacted and control areas. The samples were prepared and levels of PAHs in the organs analyzed using gas chromatography and mass spectrophotometry (GC/MC) analytical procedures. The total PAHs levels determined from the muscle, gill and brain of T. guineensis were 0.13, 0.022 and 0.005 mg/kg, respectively. The control value were muscle (0.0005mg/kg), gill (0.0008mg/kg) and brain (0.0009 mg/kg). Similarly, the organs of T. Zilli had total PAHs values of 0.021, 0.077 and 0.008 mg/kg for the muscle, gill and brain in that order, while the values from the control samples were 0.0006, 0.0006 and 0.0007 mg/kg representing the muscle, gill and brain, respectively. All the values were above WHO limit of 0.001mg/kg Naphthalene with the highest concentrations of 0.064 mg/kg in thegill, and also posed the greatest danger to aquatic lives and humans.

Authors: Adami Yara Leite
Published: February 2022

Screening for Blastocystis spp infections were carried out in faecal samples from 78 volunteers from a catholic institution placed at a very poor community of Niterói  The samples were evaluated through Hoffman, Pons & Janner technique and evolutive forms of enteroparasites were detecetd in 47 (60%). Blastocystis spp was the most prevalent parasite as it was found in 32 samples  (41%). Infections by protozoans like Endolimax nana, Giardia lamblia, Entamoeba histolytica /E. dispar and E. coli were also found, but in a lesser extension. Still, the was a predominance of protozoans infectiosn as few cases of helminths were detected. Briefly,  although in this study only a small sample was obtained, it reflects, somehow, that this protozoan has become very common and it is unknown what it does really represents for human health.
The Signature of Voter Behaviour and Participation in the 2015 Gubernatorial Elections in Nigeria: A Study of Ebonyi State.
Authors: Nkwede Joseph Okwesili
Published: February 2022

This study examined the determinants of voter behaviour in the 2015 gubernatorial elections in Nigeria with particular attention to Ebonyi State. The cardinal objective of the paper is to identify the factors affecting voter behaviour in recent times in Nigerian elections. Experimental survey design was adopted in the study. Data were elicited from both primary and secondary sources and was analyzed using content, percentage and Chi-square statistical tools. The paper revealed among the other things that gratification and party affiliations significantly influenced voter behaviour during the 2015 gubernatorial elections in Nigeria especially in Ebonyi State. It therefore recommends inter alia; that voters should be enlightened further by relevant agencies in Nigeria on the choice of candidate(s) based on party manifestoes, policy and programmes rather than heavy dependence on gratification. Implication of this finding for Nigerian citizenry is that it is only through voting of candidate in an election on the basis of lined-up policies and programmes that can bring about popular choice of candidate that would eventually deliver the democratic dividends to the citizenry.

Published: February 2022

This study aimed to explore Arab spring consequences that prevailed in Syria after 2010-2011 as reflected by CNN in its online news articles released in its website 2013. The main concern of the study is to unveil CNN's hidden ideologies towards Arab spring upheaval in Syria investigating itsm discoursal ''Self'' and ''Other'' representations. To achieve this goal, the researcher utilized thefollowing theories: 1) van Dijk's theory of Semantic Macrostructure (1980); to examine macro and micro structures of CNN's online news article, 2) van Dijk's theory of Ideological Square (1998c); to examine CNN's ideologies embedded within its online news article and 3) Wodak's DiscourseHistorical Approach; to endorse linguistic and ideological analysis of CNN's online news article. Fairclough's three-dimensional Approach was utilized to organize the process of analysis of the study text. Within the linguistic analysis, macro and micro structures of CNN's online news articles were analyzed. At the macro level, the semantic macrostructure was outlined to determine its global meaning. At the micro level, the syntactic, lexical and rhetorical structures were examined to determine their local meaning. Within the ideological analysis, the CNN's online news article was analyzed to determine its ideological positive ''Self'' (in-group) and negative ''Other'' (out-group) presentations. The findings revealed that CNN's ideological orientations towards Syria were varied. Thus, it presented the Syrian internal conflict as the positive "Self" identities while the Syrian regime as the negative "Other'' identities

The Role of Gender in Determining the Trends of Omani Society Towards Preferred and Non-Preferred Professions for Women
Authors: Karadsheh Muneer , Zar Asila Ali Al
Published: February 2022

The literature review of social studies state that humane societies’ orientations of favorable professions for Omani women is a result of the interaction of a structural group systems’ that shapes these professions’ features. Demographic characteristics of population, thevariation of people age-sex structure, dependency levels, economic infrastructure, natural resources, family income, unemployment and economic security play a significant role in determining these orientations and their paths. Cultural and social features and heritage, values and believes of the society contribute in forming and determining many types of professions that are preferable for Omani women. Many theories emphasis the fact that women's decisions and orientations to participate in labor force is not a self-decided path, but it is rather a joint point of many social factors, cultural considerations, and other factors related to economy and demography. For instance, many traditional societies which are dominated by agricultural productivity patterns are overwhelmedby inhibitory behaviors and values for women labor. These societies usually consider the woman as a housewife, and do not pay attention to her achievements. As a result, these values and behaviors plays a significant and a profound role in determining female's professions orientations which eventually determines the features of the careers she would work at. Al Dufairy (2012) points out the importance of individual's social status, parents' culture,family monthly income, individual's religious and knowledge background, family features and place of residency in determining the nature of the job that women can work at in the future
Restructuring (in)tangible cultural heritage of rural Zimbabweans: Sustaining and fulfilling livelihoods
Authors: Rutsate Jerry , Sipho Heleni Rutsate
Published: February 2022

The documentation and promotion of African experiences grew out of the need to mitigate the weaknesses of the oral tradition through which the history of the presumed complex indigenous African creative undertaking was defined. The paucity of written records was further accentuated by the 2003 UNESCO Convention for Safeguarding Intangible Cultural Heritage. The methodical essential tools of accurate collection and critical analysis were deemed to be the better organized forms of freezing experiences. Skewed towards the sciences, research on both pre and post-independent Zimbabwean indigenous intellectual property has not yielded much benefit to the researched practitioners. To this end, Higher Education has failed to fulfil society’s expectations for pace-setting development and sustainability. In the stir of the world-wide decline of industries owing to trade liberalization and the development of free market as well as the adoption of the European Union ‘high-road competitiveness’ policy (Aiginger 2014), this chapter intends to reground creative and cultural industries by embracing a potential symbiotic relationship between informal transmission of authentic (in)tangible cultural heritage and the formal living archiving and commodification of the indigenous knowledge systems of ethnic groups of people in Zimbabwe. The case study for this paper, which commenced in 2015, is the Dzimbadzamabge Cultural Heritage Enterprise Institute located in Nemamwa Rural District.

At the Gibraltar porphyry Cu-Mo deposit in south-central British Columbia, Canada, geochemical and mineralogical anomalies in till around a cluster of mineral occurrences form amoeboid-shaped dispersal patterns controlled by three phases of ice movement. The glacial dispersal patterns defined by elevated concentrations of ore (Cu, Mo) and pathfinder (Ag, Zn) elements and alteration oxides (Al2O3, K2O) in the till matrix (clay and silt plus clay fractions) extend over areas of 6–36 km2 and are centered on the main economic mineralization. Mineralogical dispersal trains were identified by the high abundances of chalcopyrite, pyrite, jarosite, titanite, and epidote, which were derived from the mineralization and its associated oxidation and alteration zones. These mineralogical anomalies in till extend approximately 30 km2 for chalcopyrite, 62 km2 for jarosite, and up to 136 km2 for epidote. Epidote grains in till with a trace element composition of >10 ppm As, >4 ppm Sb, <200 ppm total rare earth elements (ΣREEs), <45 ppm Y, <100 ppm Sc + Cr + Y, and/or <2 ppm Th + Hf are interpreted as being either principally derived from the intrusive rocks or from hydrothermal alteration of the porphyry mineralization. Rare epidote grains with >30 ppm Cu, interpreted to be related to the porphyry Cu mineralization, were detected in till up to 7 km down-ice from the economic mineralization. This study demonstrates that till geochemistry and mineralogy, combined with geochemical analyses of specific minerals such as epidote, are efficient methods for identifying porphyry Cu mineralization in terrains covered by glacial sediments.

OBJECTIVE: The burden felt by informal caregivers of patients with dementia is a source of physical, emotional, and financial problems. Face-to-face interventions for caregivers have accessibility limitations that may prevent them from receiving adequate care. Telehealth tools can be a solution to this problem. We will compare a telephone psychoeducational and support intervention protocol to usual care for informal female caregivers of patients with dementia treated at specialized outpatient clinics. METHODS: In this single-blind randomized clinical trial, the intervention group will receive one weekly call for 8 weeks that addresses issues such as disease education, communication with the patient, and problematic behaviors. The control group will receive printed material on problematic behaviors in dementia. The primary outcome will be the difference in caregiver burden between baseline and 8 weeks, which will be assessed by blinded investigators through the Zarit Burden Interview scale. Caregiver burden at 16 weeks after baseline, depression, anxiety, and quality of life at 8 and 16 weeks are secondary outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: We expect the intervention to reduce caregiver burden. These results could lead to public health programs for improving dementia care in lower-middle-income countries. Ethics and dissemination: This trial was approved by an independent ethics committee. The results will be published in an international peer-reviewed medical journal. Trial registration number: NCT03260608.

La evaluación y las competencias como campos de estudio: una mirada histórica desde el Siglo XX
Authors: Sepúlveda Alzate John Hamilton
Published: February 2022

Este artículo se centra en el desarrollo histórico de los campos de la evaluación y las competencias desde el siglo XX hasta la contemporaneidad. Para ello, se hace un análisis genealógico y arqueológico con el fin de identificar discontinuidades o rupturas en los hitos de la historia, especialmente los que marcaron algún acontecimiento relevante. Se concluye que el campo de la evaluación en la contemporaneidad se comporta como un dispositivo de poder que somete los sistemas educativos latinoamericanos a intereses geopolíticos y geoeconómicos, donde las prácticas pedagógicas se reducen a las tendencias globales del mercado. Por lo tanto, el campo de las competencias se instala en tres categorías emergentes: calidad=eficacia educativa; competencia=labor productiva; profesional universitario=trabajador competente. Salirse de estas estructuras de poder significa sentar una posición crítica y transformadora de la educación superior.

Authors: Álvarez Mena Ester Julia , Girón Restrepo  Gustavo Adolfo
Published: February 2022

Los trabajadores informales por el solo hecho de ser ciudadanos colombianos tienen garantizado el acceso al Sistema General de Seguridad Social en Salud mediante la cobertura del plan de beneficios en salud. El presente trabajo de investigación tiene como objetivo identificar las políticas públicas que garantizan la accesibilidad de los trabajadores informales al Sistema de Seguridad Social en Salud en Colombia. Para esto se realizó un estudio con alcance descriptivo, diseño transversal y de enfoque cualitativo, donde se utilizó como técnica e instrumento de recolección de datos el análisis documental de tipo directo e indirecto llegando a la siguiente conclusión: el Estado colombiano no tiene implementado políticas públicas para garantizar el acceso de los trabajadores informales al Sistema de Seguridad Social en Salud. Si bien es cierto los trabajadores tienen acceso a los servicios de salud mediante el régimen subsidiado, este no ofrece las garantías de protección social como son las prestaciones económicas en caso de enfermedad e incapacidad o licencia de maternidad o paternidad que sí le es dable a los trabajadores del sector formal.
Editor in Chief’s Pick – Engines of Order: A Mechanology of Algorithmic Techniques
Authors: Rieder Bernhard
Published: February 2022

Accounts of the rise and construction of dominant technologies can serve as a framework to understand how technologies can take root and acquire meaning in cultural domains such as arts, heritage, and digital humanities. On a broader, societal level, such frameworks can overlap with studies on datafication, which critically examine how dominant technologies transform the ordering of information and knowledge and its impacts on social life. In his recent book Engines of Order: A Mechanology of Algorithmic Techniques, new media scholar Bernhard Rieder examines how these information ordering techniques are embedded in technical infrastructures and economic logics, and how they “act as engines of order that actively modulate relationships between users and circulating units of various kind operate on existing patterns and fault lines in diversified yet unequal societies.”

يتناول هذا المقال موضوع "تفسير التراث" أو "التعريف بالتراث" (Heritage Interpretation) باعتباره نشاطا تواصليا يدخل في اطار الوساطة الثقافية (Cultural Mediation). ومن المعلوم أن هذا النشاط قد أخذ يكتسي أهمية كبيرة ليس في المغرب فحسب ولكن في مجموعة من بلدان العالم. فيما يتعلق بالمغرب، أنشئت في السنوات الأخيرة مجموعة من مراكز التعريف بالتراث، سنقدم من بينها مثالي مركز التعريف بتراث موقع وليلي الأثري ومركز التعريف بتراث الأطلس المتوسط، التابع للمركز الثقافي لآزرو.
ونحاول من خلال هذا المقال تحقيق هدفين رئيسيين:
-الهدف الأول ذو طابع عام ويتمثل في الرغبة في دراسة فكرة "التعريف بالتراث" المستوحاة من التجربة الأمريكية والغربية وكيف انتقلت إلى مؤسسات وفضاءات مغربية تحمل اسم ''مركز التعريف بالتراث''.
-أما الهدف الثاني فهو ذو طابع خاص يرتبط بالرغبة في تقديم ما يزخر به موقع وليلي الأثري ومنطقة الأطلس المتوسط تراثيا وثقافيا وطبيعيا انطلاقا من العرض الذي يضعانه في متناول الجمهور. سيتم التركيز هنا على مكونات هذين الفضائين المتحفيين المبتكرين؛ التي تتمثل في مجموعة من الشواهد الأثرية والإثنوغرافية والطبيعية.
Putting People First, a Necessary Change in the Appraisal of Major Infrastructure Projects
Authors: Penyalver Domingo , Turro Mateu
Published: February 2022

Public decision-makers must ensure that investments make economic sense and are financially sustainable. When privately financed through public-private partnership agreements, a project has to be bankable as well. In the present political setting, an investment is also expected to be analyzed in terms of its contribution to Global Environmental Objectives (GEOs) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This means producing relevant information on its contribution to environmental sustainability as well as to social and economic progress. Information on the project’s redistribution impacts is also relevant in relation to SDGs, but particularly in relation to the UNECE vision of People First. This paper emphasizes the importance of following a rigorous methodology that incorporates these redistribution effects to assess any infrastructure investment. The paper also introduces two concepts – Value for People and Value for the Future – that are key to the evaluation of a project’s contribution to socio-economic development.
The Long Norwegian Boom: Dutch Disease After All?
Authors: Mork Knut Anton
Published: February 2022

Norway’s famed success against the Dutch disease did not extend to the petroleum investment boom of 2000-19. This paper takes a fresh look at the post-2000 data and shifts the focus from quantities and productivity to product prices and wages.Sweden, which is used as the control, had similar developments for real GDP and productivity, but mainland Norway outpaced Sweden in terms of product prices and wages, far in excess of the corresponding divergence of consumer prices. This real appreciation is explained as a result of new demand pressure from oil companies with a strong home bias. It also implies that about half of the resource rent, all of which was to be appropriated by the government, leaked to the private sector.Thus, rent management has not been nearly as effective as claimed. And the real appreciation is likely to cause major adjustment problems once the resource boom ends.
The Social Efficiency of Electricity Transition Policies Based on Renewables. Which Ways of Improvement?
Authors: Villavicencio Manuel , Finon Dominique
Published: February 2022

Climate and energy policies use to be embedded in joint packages with seeming coherent goals on which the electricity sector is targeted. However, the complexity of power systems is rarely fully apprehended while setting up such packages, particularly when technical externalities from variable renewable energies (VRE) become widespread and different sources of flexibility need to be considered. We use a detailed power system model subject to a combination of RE goals and CO2 caps to seize their interplays and propose a methodology to rank the resulting equilibriums in terms of environmental effectiveness and economic efficiency. We show that: only modest levels of VRE develop without subsidies regardless the level of the CO2 cap; technical externalities create trade-offs between VRE penetration and environmental effectiveness; new flexibility technologies may correct or exacerbate these externalities, impacting effectiveness, costs, and coherence of such packages, requiring a sensitive target hierarchization and fine-tuning of such instruments.
“EVARISTO ERA MAIS FAMOSO POR SER GAY DO QUE POR SER ESTILISTA DE MODA”: UMA ANÁLISE CRÍTICA DO DISCURSO DA REPRODUÇÃO E SUBVERSÃO DE SEXUALIDADE E GÊNERO NO FILME “MACHO”
Authors: Bretas Paula Fernandes Furbino , Caproni Neto Henrique Luiz , Moura-Paula Marcos
Published: February 2022

Buscamos analisar a reprodução e a subversão do binário de gênero e sexualidade no filme “Macho”. Discutimos sobre a constituição do sujeito, resistências e heteronormatividade em uma perspectiva feminista. Trata-se de uma metodologia qualitativa com análise fílmica e análise crítica do discurso. Trabalhamos com três categorias de análise: “Evaristo era mais famoso por ser gay do que por ser estilista de moda”: a constituição do sujeito; “Não há o gene gay. É uma preferência sexual. E mais, é uma experiência temporal”: a reprodução e a subversão do discurso da heteronormatividade; “Às vezes, eu me pergunto: mas para quê Evaristo? Por que não se tornou boxeador como seu pai?”: a reprodução e a subversão do discurso binário de gênero nas relações sociais de trabalho. Como resultados, analisamos como os discursos da meritocracia, da sexualidade e da heteronormatividade atravessam a constituição do sujeito mais famoso por ser gay do que por ser estilista de moda. Por fim, como o binário de gênero possui relação com a divisão sexual generificada do trabalho e as características específicas na moda, percebemos uma construção discursiva instável, cujos sujeitos performam diversos gêneros e por vezes reproduzindo e subvertendo a heteronormatividade e o binário de gênero.

Adotando a perspectiva interacionista do encaixe pessoa‑organização este artigo apresenta resultados de estudo destinado a verificar a congruência entre valores pessoais e organizacionais (P-O) de profissionais de diferentes níveis hierárquicos de multinacional brasileira do setor de biotecnologia. A partir de revisão de literatura sobre o tema a pesquisa que subsidia seus achados pode ser caracterizada como do tipo survey envolvendo a aplicação de 241 questionários compostos por escalas do tipo Likert. Resultados da análise da congruência, calculada por meio da medida de encaixe P-O, apresenta-se positiva para todos os grupos avaliados. Quanto aos valores pessoais, achados apontam “benevolência” e “conformidade” como tipos mais recorrentes, em contraposição a “estimulação” e “poder”. Quanto aos valores organizacionais registra-se consenso entre os profissionais de que a organização prioriza aqueles relacionados às categorias “domínio” e “prestígio organizacional”. Quanto à contribuição, o estudo corrobora a viabilidade de pesquisas envolvendo o construto encaixe P-O no Brasil, assim como sinaliza para a mentalidade organizacional e jogos de poder associados à instrumentalização do construto valores no âmbito organizacional.
INTERNACIONALIZAÇÃO E ESFORÇO INOVATIVO: UMA ANÁLISE COMPARATIVA NAS MULTINACIONAIS DE PAÍSES DESENVOLVIDOS E EM DESENVOLVIMENTO
Authors: Borsatto Jaluza Maria Lima Silva , Galina Simone Vasconcelos Ribeiro
Published: February 2022

Os temas Internacionalização e Inovação vem sendo amplamente debatidos na literatura de negócios. Muitos estudos demonstram haver uma relação de interdependência com a causalidade ocorrendo nos dois sentidos indicando a possibilidade de existir um círculo vicioso. Diante disso, o presente artigo tem por objetivo analisar e comparar a relação entre o grau de internacionalização (GI) e de esforço inovativo por meio da intensidade em P&D (IP&D) de empresas multinacionais oriundas de países desenvolvidos (PD) e de países em desenvolvimento (PED). Para a análise realizou-se regressões com dados em painel a partir de uma amostra com 445 observações de empresas de países desenvolvidos e 473 observações de empresas de em desenvolvimento. De uma forma geral, os resultados indicaram que a formação de aliança para busca de inovação em termos de P&D é negativamente relacionada à distância geográfica entre as empresas, gerando uma importante implicação prática e gerencial no âmbito da literatura sobre internacionalização e inovação. Dessa forma este trabalho contribui jogando luz numa “contra-discussão” dessa temática e ainda apontam a necessidade de pesquisa para repensar a teoria de estratégia internacional, sendo que amplas vias de estudo se abrem para a contribuições para uma ‘estratégia regional’.

Authors: Vendler Marize Helena da Rosa , Maçaneiro Marlete Beatriz
Published: February 2022

Este artigo teve por objetivo desenvolver um modelo de mensuração, por meio da definição de indicadores construídos a partir da análise de elementos culturais, que possam favorecer a adoção de práticas de ecoinovação na indústria da construção, como fonte de capacidade competitiva. Trata-se de uma pesquisa caracterizada como descritiva e exploratória, de abordagem qualitativa e técnicas análise de conteúdo e triangulação. Os resultados apontam que os elementos culturais estudados favorecem a adoção de práticas de ecoinovação, por meio de fontes do ambiente que direcionam o desenvolvimento das práticas ambientais e inovadoras, que possibilitam as empresas obterem capacidade competitiva, pela apresentação de atributos de redução dos impactos ambientais.  Sob esta ótica, desenvolveu-se um roteiro diagnóstico de indicadores, que pode ser um mecanismo estratégico, uma vez que oferece um instrumento de avaliação, o qual proporciona um feedback sobre o que precisa ser desenvolvido para conceber uma cultura de inovação com enfoque mais ecoinovador.
O PROFISSIONAL DO ESCRITÓRIO DE PROJETOS EM AÇÃO: UM ESTUDO BASEADO EM PRÁTICAS
Authors: Fernandes Bruno Dornelas de Azevedo , Américo Bruno L.
Published: February 2022

Objetivo: O presente estudo busca compreender como acontece o PMO (escritório de gerenciamento de projetos) no seu dia a dia, sob a ótica da prática segundo Schatzki. 

Método: Trata-se de pesquisa qualitativa com dados de entrevistas e análises sob a ótica da teoria fundamentada. O estudo aborda o profissional atuante como PMO como o sujeito da pesquisa.

Resultados: Os resultados evidenciam que um PMO em ação se dá com um determinado conjunto de práticas e materialidades centrais, que se relacionam entre si, mas também com outras práticas menos centrais ou periféricas. 

Conclusão: Esta discussão sistematiza e apresenta a teoria da prática para estudar tal fenômeno, ampliando a compreensão do fenômeno e mostrando seu valor para os processos e negócios da organização. Conclui-se que a teoria da prática evidencia aspectos pouco ou não explorados na literatura sobre PMO, como as perspectivas do próprio profissional quanto ao seu dia a dia, além de um leque diversificado de artefatos e ferramentas presentes em suas ações, contribuindo com a aprendizagem de profissionais e pesquisadores organizacionais.

Authors: Arraz Fernando Miranda
Published: February 2022

O presente estudo objetiva analisar produções científicas brasileira sobre a temática plágio em dissertações e teses na área de ciências humanas durante a última década (2010 a 2020), por meio de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, reunindo e sintetizando resultados de pesquisas sobre o tema abordado em questão, com intuito de desvelar a sua emergência e/ou consolidação como objeto de investigação nessa área do conhecimento e no interior desse espaço acadêmico. As buscas foram executadas nas bases de dados virtuais: Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD) e no banco de dissertações e teses da CAPES. Concluiu-se que existe uma carência de investigações científicas sobre a questão do plágio nas áreas de ciências humanas, necessitando assim um olhar diferenciado dos pesquisadores para esta temática que é necessária para o nosso meio acadêmico.
The Catastrophe to Come
Authors: Adler Anthony Curtis ,   DePaul University
Published: February 2022

Taking its departure from The Differend’s analysis of Auschwitz as a sign for the evental character of history, I argue that the looming ecological disaster we now face reveals both the continuing relevance and limits of Lyotard’s thought. While the form of political agency of the catastrophe to come involves a differend, this differend cannot be attached to a proper name, however problematic its mode of signification. This, however, suggests the even greater relevance of Lyotard’s treatment, in the conclusion of The Differend, of capitalism in terms of temporal contradiction, as well as his theorization of oikos and ecology in subsequent works, where he distinguishes between the economic and the ecological. This distinction, I conclude, is rendered problematic by the catastrophe to come, as indeed is any attempt to draw an absolute distinction between “philosophical politics” and mere technocratic management or even to exclude speculation from the heart of philosophy.
