Authors: Jaiswal Rahul , Chauhan Sandhya
Published: May 2023

Introduction:

Pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) is considered stressful environment and emotionally challenging for parents and care givers. The aim of this study was to identify common parental stressors during their child’s stay in PICU and to formulate corrective measures for common parental stressors.

Methods:

This was a prospective, observational, and cross-sectional study. A total of 142 parents fulfilled the study criteria and were interviewed with the help of preformed questionnaire. The preformed questionnaire had in total 27 items which were classified into 3 categories for identification of stressors among parents.

Results:

The parental stressors were found to be as follows:- 1st - How stressful your experience is at the personal level? (Mean score = 3.18521, median score = 3.16600), 2nd -How stressful is the PICU environment for you? (Mean score = 2.22688, median score = 2.28500), 3rd -How stressful is the child’s condition for you? (Mean score = 1.49356, median score = 1.35700). According to Kruskal–Wallis test result, all 3 categories were significantly different (H-score = 241.987, dF = 2, P = 0.000) with highest mean rank of 331.06 for personal category.

Conclusion:

There is a significant stress among parents of children admitted to intensive care unit (ICU). These parental stress factors should be regularly addressed and remedial steps must be taken for making the ICU environment cohesive for both parents and health-care staff and for ensuring optimum functioning of ICU.

Effects of Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa) Seeds as a Substitute for Soya Bean on Growth and Nutrient Utilization of Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822)
Authors: Usman Umate , Diyaware Mohammed Yakubu , Hassan Mohammed Zakariya , Shettima Hauwa Mohammed
Published: May 2023

Effects of replacing soybean meal (SBM) with Hibiscus sabdariffa (HSSM) seed meal as protein sources in the diet of Clarias gariepinus fingerlings (Burchell, 1822) was investigated. Hibiscus sabdariffa seed was processed by soaking for 24 hours, sprouting for 48 hours and fermenting for 72 hours. The processing methods that gave higher crude protein level, and lower anti-nutritional factors were used for the replacement of soya bean. The result shows that the crude protein values (CP) recorded for raw, soaked, sprouted and fermented Hibiscus sabdariffa were 25.49, 25.19, 24.25 and 25.68%, respectively. In view of this, fermented Hibiscus sabdariffa seed meal (FHSSM) was used. Different replacement levels of the soya bean with fermented Hibiscus sabdariffa seed meal (0 control, 25, 50, 75 and 100 %) were allotted to five groups of C. gariepinus fingerlings (4.0 - 4.4 g) randomly stocked at 10 fish per unit in 1 m x 1 m x 1.2 m hapa installed in a polythene lined pond (7 x 5 x 1.2 m) in completely randomized design with an average rainfall of 550 mm and fed for 150 days. The haematological indices of C. gariepinus fed different replacement levels of soya bean with FHSSM were also studied. The haematological parameters indicate that there was no significant difference (P>0.05) among the treatments in most of the parameters. The ANFs in FHSSM are within the tolerable level by fish. This informed the basis for the selection of FHSSM for the feeding trials. Feeding trials conducted indicates no significant difference (P>0.05) in condition factor, survival and protein efficiency ratio (PER) for the various treatments. Better weight gain, feed conversion ratio (FCR) and specific growth rate (SGR) are recorded in fish fed 25% FHSSM. This implies that 25% of soya bean meal in C. gariepinus could be substituted with fermented Hibiscus sabdariffa seed meal without deleterious effect on growth and utilization performance.

Published: May 2023

Microplastics (MPs) occurrence in greater pipefish Syngnathus acus was assessed in the Black Sea for the first time. MPs were found in 21 % of total pipefish examined. MPs were mainly fibres in shape (89 %), black in colour (52 %) and 0.2- 1 mm (52 %) in size. The mean MP concentration was 0.30 mp. fish-1 (considering all the fish analysed) and was 1.38 mp. fish-1 (considering the fish that ingested them). The frequency of MP occurrence in male pipefish was higher (23.5 %) compared to females (20.7%) and immatures (16.7 %). 91.7 % of the polymers found were synthetic with the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) (29%) being the most common polymers. FTIR spectroscopy also confirmed the presence of the plastic-related compounds, butyl stearate (BS) and glyceraldehyde unnatural form (GA) in the analysed samples. Our results show that S. acus, which is an ecologically important demersal fish, is contaminated by MPs in the Black Sea and that there is an urgent assessment to better understand the environmental fate of MPs in the Black Sea and taking necessity measures to reduce the amount of plastics entering this basin.
WEB OF SCIENCE (WOS) VERİ TABANINDA YER ALAN ÖRGÜTSEL SESSİZLİK KONULU MAKALELERİN BİBLİYOMETRİK ANALİZ YÖNTEMİ İLE İNCELENMESİ
Authors: ARSLAN Büşra , MAYATÜRK AKYOL Evrim
Published: May 2023

Günümüzün küresel ölçekte rekabet ile iç içe geçmiş yapısı içerisinde örgütlerin gelişim süreçleri üzerinde etkili olan konulara yönelik artan bir ilginin varlığından söz etmek mümkündür. Bu gelişim süreci üzerinde en yüksek etkiye sahip konulardan biri de örgütsel sessizlik kavramıdır. Rekabet içerisinde örgütlerin varlıklarını sürdürebilmeleri açısından çoğu zaman küçük detayların büyük farklılıklar yarattığı düşünüldüğünde kavram olarak örgütsel sessizliğin ne olduğunun, bu kavramın örgütlerde ortaya çıkmasına sebep olan unsurların ve bu kavramın sonuçlarının detaylı bir şekilde değerlendirilmesinin gerekliliği de görülmektedir.

Örgütsel sessizlik kavramının derinlemesine incelenmesinin hedeflendiği bu araştırmanın en temel amaçlarından biri örgütsel sessizlik ile ilgili literatürün çeşitli parametreler eşliğinde değerlendirilmesidir. Bu amaca uygun olacak şekilde gerçekleştirilen araştırmada yöntem olarak bibliyometrik analiz tercih edilmiştir. Bu yöntem kapsamında Web of Science (WOS) veri tabanında yer alan ve 2003-2022 yılları arasında yayınlanmış örgütsel sessizlik konulu 125 makale araştırmanın örneklemini oluşturmuştur.

İlgili makalelerin bibliyometrik analizi sonucunda; son yıllarda örgütsel sessizlik ile ilgili çalışmaların arttığı, Türkiye kaynaklı çalışmaların ilk sırada yer aldığı ve buna bağlı olarak da Türk yazarların ve dergilerin üst sıralarda bulunduğu, konu ile ilgili çalışmaların en fazla işletme ekonomisi alanı ile ilişkilendirildiği, en fazla atıf alan makalenin “Spirals of silence: The dynamic effects of diversity on organizational voice” başlığını taşıdığı ve tarama ifadesi olması itibariyle en çok kullanılan anahtar kelimenin de “örgütsel sessizlik” olduğu saptanmıştır. Söz konusu ifadeyi sırasıyla takip eden kavramların ise; çalışan sessizliği, sessizlik, hasta güvenliği, iletişim ve örgütsel bağlılık olduğu görülmektedir.
An investigation into the indicators of social and economic integration of refugees in Germany.
Authors:   , Mechlinski Carsten
Published: May 2023

Between 2015 and 2020, about 1.5 million refugees arrived in Germany. Due to this new influx of refugees, there has been a political debate in Germany about how immigrants should be managed and integrated into society, however, to date there has been limited research from a local or project perspective. This led to Zimmermann (2016), to question whether Germany was fully prepared to integrate these newcomers into German society and called for further research. To address this call, the study’s aim was to investigate how refugees are integrated in Germany from a theoretical and practical perspective, then determine whether the integration policies and strategies adopted were effective. In achieving this aim and addressing this lack of academic knowledge from a social connection and economic perspective, the study directly drew on three seminal studies, that of Ager and Strang (2002, 2004, 2008), Kuhlman (1991) and Gürer (2019). These studies provided the academic framework to conduct an inductive qualitative strategy to interview four groups of participants from 4 projects from different socio-economic regions. The participants were project managers, governmental officials, project representatives, and recent integrated refugees. The outcome of the study’s findings showed there was a need for Federal government to provide a strategic direction and a commitment to local and project levels as to how to integrate refugees. Part of the process also needed to have established a mechanism by which Federal government can measure the integration process through measurable KPIs. The main academic contribution of this study is the creation of an overarching 11th domain called ‘participation’ to Ager and Strang’s (2008) original model. From the practical perspective, the study contended that there is a need for Federal government guidelines to be established and cascaded throughout all the levels of responsibility, from State to project level. At an individual project level, an integration plan must be used to monitor the progress using KPIs which are informed by Federal government. Based on the outcome of this study, future studies could build on this initial piece of research by conducting a mixed method study, while focusing on the local community experiences of refugee integration.
Identity Formation in Christian Professional Footballers: Life Course, Faith, Career.
Authors:   , Daniels David
Published: May 2023

This study investigates the influence of the Christian faith on the identity formation of professional footballers. It proposes the theocentric (God-centred) foundation that personal identity is received as a gift from God rather than gained by athletic achievements. The thesis considers how this theological perspective aids respondents' capacity to deal with the institutional pressures of an all-consuming career, which requires players to adhere to a restrictive, performance-based athletic identity. The research design is based on practical theology, which facilitates the disciplinary combination of theology and sociology. The study adopts a qualitative methodology and presents empirical findings from semi-structured interviews with 14 UK-based Christian professional footballers. The study's primary results are that a theocentric, received approach to identity formation provided Christian elite athletes with unprecedented existential fulfilment and security. These experiences led to an authentic integration of personal beliefs at work, resulting in behavioural and verbal witness to Christianity. The evidence also indicated that this process was encouraged by the support of other Christians through Bible studies undertaken in the context of peer groups and local churches. The main conclusion of the research is the benefit of appropriating a theocentric personal identity that is received from God rather than achieved by athletic performance. Becoming a Christian may alleviate the restrictive institutional and cultural demands of the professional game and engender the development of a more holistic personal identity which contributes to the wellbeing of professional footballers.

Published: May 2023

Introducción: La cirugía laparoscópica ha avanzado de manera notable en patología colorectal. Es más frecuente observar reportes de anastomosis intracorpórea en colectomía derecha laparoscópica ya que pareciera ser menos desafiante. La anastomosis intracorpórea en colectomía izquierda podría aprovechar al máximo los beneficios de la laparoscopía, manteniendo la misma seguridad quirúrgica.

Objetivo: El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar los resultados de nuestra experiencia inicial en colectomía izquierda laparoscópica con anastomosis intracorpórea.

Diseño: Estudio retrospectivo descriptivo.

Material y Método: Se analizaron pacientes con diagnóstico patología colónica izquierda benigna y maligna tratados mediante resolución quirúrgica, en un centro único, entre Marzo de 2021 y Marzo de 2022. Las variables analizadas fueron demográficas, técnicas operatorias, complicaciones postoperatorias, tiempo operatorio, y tiempo de hospitalización. 

Resultados: Se analizaron un total de n= 18 pacientes, con una edad promedio de 55 años (44,5% mujeres,  55,5% hombres). En el 61,1% se trató de patología benigna, mientras que el 38,9% restante fue patología maligna. Se confeccionaron los cabos de modo latero-lateral (72,2%), latero-terminal (22,2%), y termino-terminal (5,5%). Se realizó sutura manual en el 72,2% de los pacientes, mientras que se utilizó sutura mecánica en el 27,7%. El tiempo operatorio promedio total fue de 126.5 horas (p= > 0,05). Se reportó una tasa de complicaciones del 33,3%, y una tasa de re-laparoscopía del 16,6%. No se registraron conversiones a cirugía abierta. La mortalidad fue del 0%. El tiempo de hospitalizacion fue de 6 días en promedio (p= > 0,05).

Conclusiones: La colectomía izquierda laparoscópica con anastomosis intracorpórea es una técnica segura. Permite aprovechar las ventajas que ofrece la laparoscopía. Requiere de un equipo quirúrgico de experiencia con un alto nivel de entrenamiento en cirugía laparoscópica y tecnología apropiada.

This research was carried out during the 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 growing seasons at Edirne, Kırklareli, and Tekirdağ locations with the aim of determining some agricultural and quality traits of nine registered oat cultivars. The experiments were arranged in a randomized complete block design with four replications. According to the results of the examined traits, plant height ranged from 101.5 to 132.4 cm, vegetative period from 125.1 to 138.9 days, thousand kernel weight from 26.6 to 40.0 g, test weight from 46.2 to 53.2 kg hl-1, protein content from 12.5% to 15.1%, and grain yield from 4011 to 5321 kg ha-1. According to the biplot analysis, PC1 and PC2 (accounting for 69.3% and 18.3% of the total variation, respectively) constituted 87.6% of the total variation. The angle value between the vectors of grain yield and protein content, thousand kernel weight, and test weight was narrow, indicating a high positive relationship between these traits, whereas the angle between the vectors of grain yield and plant height and vegetative period was wide, indicating a negative relationship between these traits. According to the correlation analysis, grain yield had a positive and significant relationship with test weight (r=0.594**), protein content (r=0.431**), and thousand kernel weight (r=0.350**), and a negative and significant relationship with a vegetative period (r=-0.360**) and plant height (r=-0.047**). According to the biplot analysis, cultivars Kahraman, Kırklar, Kehlibar and Somun Yıldızı were found outstanding genotypes in terms of grain yield.

Blind students cannot use their senses properly; they can learn by relying on their senses of touch and hearing. For this reason, it is necessary to have teaching media that depend on the importance of communication or hearing to recognize material on the shape of the Earth's surface. This research aims to increase the learning interest of blind students in the fabric of the Earth's surface in social science subjects. This research method is pre-experimental, with blind students being treated with 3D media and observing their responses. The application of 3D media in the form of the Earth's surface in learning for blind children involved eight students. It was implemented in three junior high schools in East Java, Indonesia. These schools include Special Schools in Bojonegoro, Surabaya, and Sidoarjo. The results of the application of 3D media show that using 3D learning media in the form of the Earth's surface in the teaching and learning process can generate new desires and interests, generate motivation, and stimulate learning activities, even bringing psychological influences on blind students. 3D learning media can also help improve students' understanding, present data excitingly and reliably, facilitate data retention, and obtain information about the shape of the Earth's surface.

Published: May 2023

Abstract

This study examines the impact of Hofstede's six cultural dimensions, namely power distance, individualism/collectivism, masculinity/femininity, uncertainty avoidance, and long-term/short-term orientation on organizational behavior by comparing Indonesia with four different cultures: Vietnam, China, Taiwan, and France. It analyzes six scores in five different countries using a literature review on Hofstede's dimensions. With each dimension expressed on a scale of 0 to 100, In addition, this study translates the six dimensions into helping develop successful international business organizations. The results showed that Indonesia, China, Vietnam, Taiwan, and France all have a significant influence on organizational culture within the organization. In these countries, they show high levels of delegation of authority to employees, low levels of individualism and collectivism in China, Indonesia, Taiwan, and Vietnam, high levels of individualism in France, and masculinity and femininity, as well as uncertainty. On the long-orientation dimension, China and Taiwan score the highest among France, Indonesia, and Vietnam regarding indulgence versus restraint in combination with high scores on uncertainty avoidance, implying that Taiwanese and French are less relaxed and enjoy life less often than is usually assumed. that their actions are constrained by social norms.

Objective: The aim of our study is to examine the injury profiles of ballet dancers.

Materials and Methods: Dancers of The State Opera and Ballet Directorate who volunteered for the study applied to Ege University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Sports Medicine. Age, gender, height, body weight, education level and physical activities other than dance were recorded. Body fat ratio analysis was performed with the with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) (iDXA, GE Lunar, Madison, Wisconsin, USA). All the training program of the dancers was questioned in detail. The number of dance injuries diagnosed in the last year was recorded. The relationship between injury incidence and other physical parameters was examined.

Results: Forty-four dancers who met the inclusion criteria were evaluated. Thirty-five participants reported being injured at least once in the past 12 months. The most injured areas were reported as lumbar, ankle, neck, shoulder and knee. Nearly 60% of the participants reported that they train more than two hours a day. There was a statistically significant relationship between pain, fatigue, and previous injury with injury profile (p<0.05). No statistically significant relationship was found between the incidence of injury and running training, interest in other sports, and doing strengthening exercises (p>0.05).

Conclusion: While pain, fatigue, and incomplete healing of the previous injury are related with the injury profile, strengthening exercise, running and participating other sports activities do not have any impact.

Objective: To compare the effect of home-based step aerobic exercise program on physical fitness in sedentary university students with a control group.

Materials and Methods: This study is a quasi-experimental design comparing two groups, pretest-posttest and follow-up test. The sample consists of 25 sedentary female university students between the ages of 18-25. The home-based step aerobic exercise group (14 students) participated in supervised step aerobic exercise intervention three days a week for six weeks. The control group (11 students) was not included in any intervention. Resting heart rate (rHR), heart rate recovery (HRR), jump performance, 6-minute walking distance (6MWD), Flamingo balance test score, quadriceps muscle strength and exercise motivation of participants were assessed.

Results: After the exercise program, significant improvements in physiological parameters including rHR and HRR, and in 6MWD, quadriceps muscle strength, jump height, and balance scores led to an overall improvement in functional exercise capacity, endurance, and strength (p<0.05). However, the results obtained at the four-week follow-up evaluation displayed that this current improvement was not maintained for all parameters except RHR, HRR and balance (p<0.05). For the control group, the above parameters did not change over time (p>0.05).

Conclusions: Sedentary university students participating in a 6-week home-based step aerobic exercise program can improve their physical and physiological functions by using a smart step board, chest heart rate band, and mobile application. Effects of post-exercise on RHR and HRR may be maintained for four weeks.

Urinary tract infections in children: a bigger challenge than expected

Collecting a urine sample without contamination from a pediatric patient is often difficult. Several investigations can be performed on a urine sample, but none of them is 100% specific or sensitive. The increasing antibiotic resistance forms a challenge for a correct and early treatment. In toilet-trained children, a midstream urine sample should be collected after washing the skin. In non-toilet-trained children, the collection method depends on the general condition of the patient. In case of a non-ill child, a clean catch method may be used or a urine bag can be applied after local washing. It is recommended to refer the child immediately for urethral catheterization when it looks ill. The urine needs to be examined as soon as possible after the collection. A combination of a leukocyte esterase and nitrite test is the most sensitive and specific first-line investigation. A negative stick or sediment does not rule out a urinary tract infection. In suspicion of a urinary tract infection despite a negative stick or in case of an abnormal stick or urine sediment, a urine culture is recommended before the initiation of antibiotics. After the collection of a urine sample, it is preferred to start directly with empirical oral antibiotic therapy. Reassessment of the child’s condition is strongly recommended after 24 to 48 hours of antibiotic coverage to allow alteration of the therapy as a consequence of the susceptibility results (antibiogram) or to convert to intravenous broad-spectrum antibiotics in case the child looks ill.

A automedicação e a prescrição inapropriada são sérios problemas de saúde pública, gerando riscos à saúde. Devido à pandemia do coronavírus e à COVID-19, houve uma urgência para obtenção de terapêuticas, embora muita especulação impulsionou hábitos deletérios quanto ao uso de medicamentos. Objetivo: Avaliar os possíveis efeitos sistêmicos ocasionados por doses diferentes de Ivermectina. Métodos: Usando um modelo animal de ratos Wistar, os animais foram divididos em 4 grupos de 10 integrantes, sendo tratados oralmente com: i. salina (controle – placebo); ii. suspensão de Ivermectina 300 µg/Kg/dia; iii. suspensão de Ivermectina 500 µg/Kg/dia; e iv. suspensão de Ivermectina 1000 µg/Kg/dia. Após as 6 semanas de experimento, os ratos foram eutanasiados e amostras de soro coletadas, com realização de provas de função hepática (ALT e AST) e renal (creatinina e ureia), bem como avaliação histológica do fígado, rins, coração e glândulas salivares. Resultados: Os tratamentos com doses de Ivermectina de até 1000 µg/kg/dia não afetaram os níveis de ALT e AST, creatinina e ureia, comparados ao grupo controle-placebo (p > 0,05), sendo que tais doses também não causaram danos morfológicos nos rins, coração e glândulas salivares. Apenas a dose de 1000 µg/kg/dia promoveu ligeira alteração na morfologia hepática. Conclusões: Doses de Ivermectina até 1000 µg/kg/dia não promoveram alterações funcionais nos órgãos avaliados, com exceção para a dose de 1000 µg/kg/dia no fígado. Devido às limitações do modelo animal adotado, outros estudos em diferentes modelos experimentais devem ser conduzidos para corroborar estes achados preliminares, visando esclarecer a possível segurança da Ivermectina.

Objetivo: analisar e comparar o perfil antropométrico, força e flexibilidade em idosos da zona rural e urbana. Materiais e métodos: trata-se de uma pesquisa de caráter quantitativo, corte transversal e comparativo. Foram realizados mensuração de força de preensão manual da mão dominante, através de um dinamômetro, também mensuração da flexibilidade, através da técnica de goniometria e, por fim, avaliação do perfil antropométrico, pelo protocolo do Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC). Resultados: foram avaliados 64 idosos de ambos os sexos, selecionados de forma intencional. Não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa na comparação das variáveis força e flexibilidade. Entretanto, a média do IMC dos idosos da zona urbana classificou um número significativo com obesidade, inclusive apresentando valores médios superiores aos idosos da zona rural. Conclusão: o grupo de idosos da zona rural apresentou resultados mais satisfatórios comparados com o grupo de idosos da zona urbana. Faz-se necessário que os idosos avaliados da zona urbana busquem uma melhor qualidade na alimentação e prática de exercícios físicos.

Objetivo: relatar un caso clínico donde se demuestra que el uso de la flexicorticotomia como coadyuvante en tratamientos ortodonticos presentan resultados en menor tiempo en pacientes con presencia de crestas alveolares delgadas. Descripción del caso: paciente femenina de 35 años de edad con presencia de diastemas desde el 33 al 36 y desde los 43 al 46 con formación de los llamados “cuellos de botella” como efecto residual de la extracción de los mismos. Resultados: se observó radiográficamente la formación de hueso trabecular y por medio de tomografías la recuperación y formación del espacio necesario para poder realizar los movimientos dentales, cerrando los diastemas. Conclusión: la flexicorticotomia muestra excelentes resultados como coadyuvante en los movimientos dentales ejercidas por las fuerzas ortodónticas en los casos donde el espacio entre las dos corticales es muy reducido, haciendo que las reposiciones dentales se vean afectadas, por lo que la realización de una fractura controlada para generar el espacio necesario entre las dos tablas óseas, facilitará el movimiento dental obstruido anteriormente.

Authors: Morais Ana Clara Rodrigues
Published: May 2023

Objetivo: analisar publicações científicas disponíveis a respeito do conhecimento de professores sobre primeiros socorros em escolas brasileiras. Materiais e Métodos: trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, que consistiu na busca e avaliação criteriosa de estudos publicados. Foi formulada a seguinte pergunta norteadora para a investigação: Qual o conhecimento de professores de escolas brasileiras sobre primeiros socorros? Foi realizada uma busca científica por meio das bases de dados Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), Portal Periódicos CAPES e Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo), no mês de agosto do ano de 2022, utilizando-se duas chaves de busca: (“Primeiros Socorros” AND “Professor” AND “Escola”) e (“Lei Lucas”). Foram encontrados 39 estudos a partir do uso dos descritores e filtros nas bases de dados. Após a aplicação dos critérios de exclusão, foram selecionados 20 estudos, esses foram triados considerando-se a leitura do título, resumo e palavras-chave, e 14 estudos foram considerados na próxima etapa de seleção. Em seguida, os trabalhos selecionados passaram por uma análise na íntegra e 12 investigações compuseram a amostra final. Resultados: a maior parte das publicações selecionadas era de intervenção (n=8), com abordagem quantitativa (n=9) e aplicação de pré e pós-teste somada a um curso entre o preenchimento dos questionários (n=7). Os estudos foram realizados em nove estados brasileiros. A maioria dos participantes era professores de escolas, contudo, também foram incluídos outros funcionários que trabalhavam nas instituições em sete estudos, totalizando 664 profissionais e mais de 56 instituições de ensino. Conclusão: a capacitação teórico-prática em primeiros socorros aprimorou o conhecimento prévio dos participantes e forneceu mais segurança para agir. Portanto, a aplicação da Lei Lucas se mostra favorável para otimizar o atendimento primário a uma vítima nas escolas básicas de ensino do país, mesmo que os estudos após sua implementação sejam escassos.
