Learning Experiences of Nursing Students in Online RN-BSN Programs in the United States
Authors: Vecchia Elaine Della
Published: August 2017

The complex profession of nursing requires the practitioner to be knowledgeable, skilled, and autonomous. It is estimated in the USA 36.8 percent of nurses hold degrees at the baccalaureate level and above. Evidence indicating baccalaureate-degreed nurses are better prepared to meet the demands of this complex profession has led to policymakers and practice leaders touting the importance of this degree. RNs are seeking the BSN degree in increasing numbers. However, due to family, work, and personal time constraints, traditional means of education may not be a viable option for many, and distance learning provides an alternative for students who might not be able to pursue degrees. The number of RN-BSN online education programs has increased significantly over the last decade. There is a great deal of research regarding the efficacy of these programs but little research exists regarding the learning experiences RN-BSN students have in these programs. The intent of this research study was to examine the structure of the learning experiences of RN-BSN students participating in online education programs. To accomplish this goal, data were obtained from 11 interviews with RN-BSN online education students about their perceptions and assumptions before beginning their coursework, and their perceptions and actual experiences, as well as, perceived challenges after experiencing the programs.

Contribuciones del Pensamiento Social Latinoamericano para los Estudios Organizacionales: una gira con Fals Borda, Marini y Fernández Retamar
Authors: Dornelas Camara Guilherme
Published: August 2017

Este ensayo teórico aborda algunos elementos centrales de tres autores clásicos del pensamiento social latinoamericano: Roberto Fernández Retamar, Orlando Fals Borda y Ruy Mauro Marini. La elección de eses autores no es arbitraria, sino lleva en consideración la relevancia de ellos para el conocimiento de la realidad social y económica del continente latinoamericano. Nuestra localización en los estudios organizacionales nos ha impulsado a la pregunta ‘¿Cuáles son las contribuciones del pensamiento social latinoamericano para los estudios organizacionales? Una cuestión demasiado amplia y que nos exige un esfuerzo de movimiento que es este mismo de una salida momentánea de lo que se comprende como nuestro campo para después regresar a él con aportes ricos. Entre los resultados, destácense la necesidad de comprender los determinantes de la realidad local y regional; el compromiso de los estudios organizacionales con esa realidad misma; y el rol del investigador en las posibilidades de la transformación social.

Published: August 2017

A simulação tem sido tema de muitas pesquisas devido à sua aplicabilidade em diversos seguimentos, assim como, a logística reversa é um conceito que tem sido notado no meio acadêmico. Este estudo aborda a simulação aplicada à uma central de triagem mecanizada de materiais recicláveis coletados na cidade de São Paulo, com o objetivo de demonstrar que é possível usá-la em diferentes processos e cenários, e com esta ferramenta pode-se realizar alterações para análise e proposta de uma melhoria ou mesmo mudança. A metodologia é caracterizada como exploratória, pelo fato de proporcionar uma visão do sistema com possibilidade de alterações, além da pesquisa bibliográfica, entrevista e análise de exemplos. O método empregado foi a abordagem hipotético-dedutiva. A técnica utilizada foi a observação direta intensiva onde obteve-se informações e aspectos da realidade, examinando fatos do objeto de estudo. As análises deste estudo foram atribuídas aos relatórios do software Arena versão 14.7. Como resultado obteve-se melhorias diante de um novo cenário proposto.  Entende-se que a simulação é relevante para auxiliar o gerenciamento de processos e, na tomada de decisão, podem-se alterar os panoramas e otimizar os recursos para encontrar o maior aproveitamento. O tratamento de resíduos gerados por grandes cidades é importante pois, ao reciclar, o volume enviado aos aterros sanitários é reduzido, o que contribui para o melhor uso dessas áreas, e menor utilização dos recursos naturais existentes.
Caminhando pela vida e transitando pela morte: Experiência de Quase Morte (EQM) como uma experiência mística
Authors: Carunchio Beatriz F.
Published: August 2017

Este artigo tem como tema as Experiências de Quase Morte (EQMs) e suas consequências, sendo o objetivo discutir o fenômeno enquanto experiência mística, o que é feito através de revisão bibliográfica acerca do assunto. A EQM é um fenômeno anômalo que acontece, geralmente, a alguns pacientes durante ou muito próximo da morte clínica. Quando reanimado e consciente, o paciente relata vivências como experiência fora do corpo, contato com entes queridos já falecidos, viagem por um túnel rumo a planos transcendentes, encontrar-se com uma luz que irradia amor... Após essa intensa experiência, a pessoa passa a reavaliar sua vida, o que pode promover intensas transformações em suas crenças, valores e estilo de vida. Concluímos que o estudo sobre o tema pode trazer ganhos tanto para a Ciência da Religião em sua interface com a área da Saúde, como para a melhor compreensão das EQMs na clínica psicológica.
Religiosidade e prática psicoterapêutica clínica: contribuições à Psicologia da Religião
Authors: Fontes Fatima
Published: August 2017

Crenças e práticas espirituais/religiosas compõem uma parte importante da cultura, bem como dos princípios usados para formar julgamentos e processar informações. Vários estudos indicam que tais sistemas de crenças também são importantes para a adesão à psicoterapia e obtenção, nela, de melhores resultados. Este artigo reflete sobre a prática clínica psicoterápica e as mudanças observadas no padrão de religiosidade dos envolvidos em tais práticas. Discute-se a relação entre a participação em uma psicoterapia de grupo desenvolvida pela autora (a Terapia Sociocomunitária) e as mudanças observadas nos padrões religiosos dos participantes. É feito um contraponto com as psicoterapias em geral e as práticas psiquiátricas que têm problemas persistentes para aceitar e integrar a dimensão religiosa e espiritual. Algumas recomendações propostas pela American Psychiatric Association (Associação Psiquiátrica Americana), assim como pelo Conselho Regional de Psicologia de São Paulo, para tratar dessas dificuldades, são apontadas. Os cientistas da religião têm muito a contribuir com profissionais da área da saúde que, via de regra, não têm preparo para lidar com a dimensão religiosa humana.
Modelos de personalidade e a diferenciação entre experiências anômalas saudáveis e patológicas em contexto religioso
Authors: Alminhana Letícia Oliveira , Tatton-Ramos Tiago Pires
Published: August 2017

Experiências anômalas em contexto religioso, como visões espirituais e mediunismo, são objeto de estudo de renomados autores da Psicologia da Religião e mesmo da Psicologia da Personalidade. Tais experiências são encontradas tanto na população geral quanto em indivíduos que apresentam transtornos mentais graves. Contudo, a diferenciação entre experiências saudáveis e patológicas ainda é pouco explorada de forma teórica e, menos ainda, empiricamente. Por esse motivo, o principal objetivo deste artigo é problematizar as relações entre modelos de personalidade e experiências anômalas ressignificadas em contexto religioso, a fim de identificar possíveis características de personalidade que estejam associadas à maturidade e à saúde mental. Para tanto, foram revisadas algumas teorias da personalidade e suas contribuições para o campo da religiosidade/espiritualidade. Entre elas, descrevemos o Modelo Psicobiológico de Temperamento e Caráter e as dimensões de Autodirecionamento e Autotranscendência, as quais apontam para a saúde mental em indivíduos com experiências anômalas. Na conclusão, propomos uma Psicologia da Religião baseada em evidências e a integração de modelos teóricos e empíricos de personalidade, a fim de avançar na identificação de indicadores positivos de saúde mental.
Comentário de Orígenes à Espístola aos Romanos
Authors: Nascimento Sidnei Francisco Do
Published: August 2017

O comentário à Epístola aos Romanos que Orígenes irá fazer completamente envolvido com a teologia de Paulo será o resultado do ambiente de controvérsias que o circundava, e ao mesmo tempo, uma tentativa de sistematizar os escritos de Paulo, pois se acreditava que as passagens paulinas continham algumas lacunas que seria necessário completar e interpretar para torná-las mais claras e acessíveis para qualquer leitor. Temas controversos, tais como a comparação entre a lei natural e a lei mosaica; a exegese literal ou espiritual e mística; o livre-arbítrio e a onisciência de Deus, a preexistência das almas, a qual contribuiu para a pecha que Orígenes ganhou posteriormente, de ser um autor herético, assinalavam o grande momento do alexandrino já em sua fase mais madura.

Architectural Exploration of Blind CFO Estimation in OFDM Systems for Prototyping on a Reconfigurable Platform
Authors: Younis Sedik , Al-Dweik A. , Sharif Bayan , Tsimenidis C. C.
Published: August 2017

This paper presents two architectures for prototyping an advanced carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimation technique for OFDM systems on field programmable gate array (FPGA). The parallel stream architecture (PSA) exploits the FPGA parallelism while the multiplexed stream architecture (MSA) employs multiplexing for more efficient hardware implementation. The dual-mode of operation for the proposed architectures has been proposed to achieve optimum performance depending on channel conditions. The proposed architectures with different implementation alternatives have been simulated and verified for FPGA implementation using the Xilinx’s DSP design flow. The estimation accuracy and the resource utilization for the proposed architectures have been evaluated. The prototyping results showed that MSA allows for more resource efficient implementation, where a single FFT core can be shared between parallel streams compared with PSA.

Authors: Noekhah Shirin , Salim Naomie Binti , Zakaria Nor Hawaniah
Published: August 2017

Software systems exist in different critical domains. Software reliability assessment has become a critical issue due to the variety levels of software complexity. Software reliability, as a sub-branch of software quality, has been exploited to evaluate to what extend the desired software is trustable. To overcome the problem of dependency to human power and time limitation for software reliability prediction, researchers consider soft computing approaches such as Neural Network and Fuzzy Logic. These techniques suffer from some limitations including lack of analyzing mathematical foundations, local minima trapping and convergence problem. This study develops a novel model for software reliability prediction through the combination of Multi-Layer Perceptron Neural Network (MLP) and Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA). The proposed model has solved some of the problems of existing methods such as convergence problem and demanding on huge number of data. This model can be used in complicated software systems. The results prove that both training and testing phases of this model outperform existing approaches in terms of predicting the number of software failures.

Judging from some of the methods that have been there, have not found a method forecasts age through the frontal sinuses, particularly research conducted in Indonesia. The frontal sinus can be used for identification because the frontal sinuses began to evolve and look at radiographs at the age of 7 years and did not change after the age of 20 years, it reveals the existence of differences in the size of the frontal sinuses with age. Objective: To asses of the frontal sinus anteroposterior size based on against lateral cephalometric radiographs chronological age as forensic identification. Methods: A number of samples are 502 lateral cephalometric patient data from secondary data of patients aged 7-20 years, 335 pieces of lateral cephalometric. Purpose of of the study was to asses the frontal sinus anteroposterior size chronological age as forensic identification. Radiograph female patients and 167 pieces in male patients. Data anteroposterior size of the frontal sinus is obtained by pulling the longest line perpendicular to the line of Sh-Sl. Results: The results showed that at the age of 7 years the average size of the frontal sinus anteroposterior 4.20 mm and 5.05 mm which is the smallest size, while the average size of the biggest, by 8.46 mm in women and men at the age of 11.37 mm 20 years. Conclusions: In women, the fastest increase occurred at the age of 7-8 years, males at the age of 16-18 years. The frontal sinuses anteroposterior size increases with age, both men and women.

Published: August 2017

Introduction: Among the most complex restorative challenges for a dentist is that related to determine the occlusal vertical dimension (OVD). Objective methods of determining the OVD offers significant advantages because no radiographs or other special measuring devices are required. Previous review said that the OVD is similar to the pupil-rima oris distance among the population of India. The purpose of this study was to compare whether there was differences between the OVD and the pupil-rima oris distance among Sundanese population. Method: This study was an analytical cross sectional approach. A total of fifty Sundanese students of Faculty of Dentistry, Universitas Padjadjaran who have fulfilled all criteria were chosen randomly to be measured the OVD and the pupil-rima oris distance. Result: Results showed that there was no significant difference between the OVD and the pupil-rima oris distance (α=5%). There were strong correlations between the OVD and the pupil-rima oris distance (p<0.05). An analysed with Spearman’s rank correlation statistic (α=5%) reveals that there was a significant difference between males and females in the OVD and the pupil-rima oris distance. Conclusion: Based on the analysed data, we can conclude that there wass no significant difference between the OVD and the pupil-rima oris distance, thus, the pupil-rima oris distance can be suggested as an objective method to determine the length of OVD in Sundanese population.

Towards an Archival Critique: Opening Possibilities for Addressing Neoliberalism in the Archival Field
Authors: Cifor Marika , Lee Jamie A.
Published: August 2017

Neoliberalism, as economic doctrine, as political practice, and even as a "governing rationality" of contemporary life and work, has been encroaching on the library and information studies (LIS) field for decades. The shift towards a conscious grappling with social justice and human rights debates and concerns in archival studies scholarship and practice since the 1990s opens the possibility for addressing neoliberalism and its elusive presence. Despite its far-reaching influence, neoliberalism has yet to be substantively addressed in archival discourse. In this article, we propose a set of questions for archival practitioners and scholars to reflect on and consider through their own hands-on practices, research, and productions with records, records creators, and distinct archival communities in order to develop an ongoing archival critique. The goal of this critique is to move towards "an ethical practice of community, as an important mode of participation." This article marks a starting point for critically engaging the archival studies discipline along with the LIS field more broadly by interrogating the discursive and material evidences and implications of neoliberalism.
Contextualizing Information Behavior: A Methodological Approach
Authors: Gaston Nicole Marie
Published: August 2017

Building on recent developments in information behavior theory & research, this paper explores the role of context in methodological approaches to the investigation of everyday information behavior. In particular, the author examines the implicit role of Western constructs in existing models and theories of information behavior, and illustrates how a more contextually responsive method for investigating information behavior may provide more robust and accurate indices of how individuals interact with information in their everyday lives in diverse contexts. The value of a contextualized understanding of information behavior is demonstrated by drawing on two studies examining the role of contextual factors in everyday information behavior in non-Western societies. In doing so the author identifies several factors with considerable contextual variation that play a strong role in how individuals need, seek and use information in their daily lives, particularly social and cultural values.  The author also demonstrates the value in further exploring this contextual variation in information behavior research, supported by relevant theoretical and philosophical considerations. The resulting information behavior research methodology is aimed at identifying the contextual factors present in everyday information behavior, which may enable information scientists to better understand variation in information behavior and develop more robust tools for investigating information behavior in diverse communities.  I conclude by suggesting that the implementation of this method may also lead to better understanding of the relationship between information practices and well-being, as well as having implications for international development and cross-cultural collaboration.
Mind the Gap: Towards the Integration of Critical Gerontology in Public Library Praxis
Authors: Dalmer Nicole K.
Published: August 2017

Aging populations challenge public libraries to adapt their materials, services and programming to maximize the wellbeing and functional capacity of older adults and enhance their social participation and security. For older adult patrons using public library spaces and services, the capacity to which the public library has been able to deliver on these qualities remains unclear. In the past, libraries and library staff have been critiqued for narrowly interpreting the needs of older adults, concentrating on aging as a loss or deficit. To understand the current state of Canadian urban public library services for older adults, publically accessible texts, documents and reports made available on five public library systems' websites were analyzed. This analysis uncovered certain gaps in adherence to key guidelines in the Canadian Library Association's Guidelines on Library and Information Services for Older Adults and revealed a lack of integration of older adults' own ideas and feedback for their programs and events. The incorporation of a critical gerontology approach throughout the analysis begins to elucidate this study's findings and calls for the questioning of current conceptualizations of older adults and the library services created for them. Public libraries are uniquely poised to engage with older adults and the addition of a critical gerontology lens in library practice and research will aid in the refocusing of resources and policies to more responsively support older adults' evolving needs.
Critical Pedagogy In Libraries: A Unified Approach
Authors: Gustafson Melissa M.
Published: August 2017

Critical pedagogy originated in the social sciences during the mid-twentieth century with the foundational work of Paolo Friere. More recently in information science, James Elmborg and others have framed critical pedagogy through the lens of information literacy instruction. As a whole the philosophy is one which considers economic, political, and societal systems which influence the entire information life cycle from creation to consumption. Central to the adoption was the incorporation of learners as equals with valid and highly individualized experiences in academic discourse. Beyond information literacy instruction, critical pedagogy has the potential to also benefit and define the librarian's outreach and support role for the scholarly communications process. Scholarly communications encompasses both traditional academic publishing models (peer reviewed journals, conference presentations, etc.) and nontraditional channels (social media, open access, etc.) and is concerned with the information lifecycle as it relates to teaching research and scholarly work. In consideration of scholarly communications processes, issues of critical pedagogy including external market forces, privilege of information, systems of access, and consumption all play a defining role. A move to a more unified approach of critical pedagogy in libraries would highlight crucial issues of information literacy and scholarly communications while simultaneously augmenting the library's role across campus. The evolution of critical pedagogy in libraries is briefly discussed. Current scholarly communications practices in academic libraries as seen through the literature and by examining U.S. library websites is also reviewed. The author makes suggestions for meaningful inclusion of critical pedagogy in libraries through a unified approach to scholarly communications and information literacy programs.
Open Educational Resources and Rhetorical Paradox in the Neoliberal Univers(ity)
Authors: Almeida Nora
Published: August 2017

As a phenomenon and a quandary, openness has provoked conversations about inequities within higher education systems, particularly in regards to information access, social inclusion, and pedagogical practice. But whether or not open education can address these inequities, and to what effect, depends on what we mean by "open" and specifically, whether openness reflexively acknowledges the fraught political, economic, and ethical dimensions of higher education and of knowledge production processes. This essay explores the ideological and rhetorical underpinnings of the open educational resource (OER) movement in the context of the neoliberal university. This essay also addresses the conflation of value and values in higher education - particularly how OER production processes and scholarship labor are valued. Lastly, this essay explores whether OER initiatives provide an opportunity to reimagine pedagogical practices, to reconsider authority paradigms, and potentially, to dismantle and redress exclusionary educational practices in and outside of the classroom. Through a critique of neoliberalism as critically limiting, an exploration of autonomy, and a refutation of the precept that OER can magically solve social inequalities in higher education, the author ultimately advocates for a reconsideration of OER in context and argues that educators should prioritize conversations about what openness means within their local educational communities.
Becoming-Infrastructure: Datafication, Deactivation and the Social Credit System
Authors: Diab Ramon Salim
Published: August 2017

How might critical library and information studies analyze the intersection of information infrastructure and class structure? The emergence of big data through "datafication" rests on the historical process of information and communication technology (ICT) production and distribution. This paper explores the concept of datafication as an integrated component of information infrastructures unfolding within the class structures of capitalism. A critical realist perspective on relational sociology is offered to illustrate how heterogenous data sources are combined and configured to activate materials and bodies into new internal economic class relations of control. My analysis of datafication therefore moves beyond isolated conceptions of "information" and toward the capacity of distributed data sources to extend and deepen class structures. Two recent large scale cases of datafication are analyzed to highlight its causal powers within class structured society. The first case is drawn from a New York Times article concerning the subprime automobile loan market in the United States. The article details the installation of surveillance technologies into the vehicles of people segmented by low credit scores as a condition of exchange for subprime loans. As a result of this exchange, surveillance technologies capture borrower's driving behaviors and locations in real-time data flows. These data flows are analyzed according to interest bearing payment regimes, rendering both vehicle and borrower as manageable assets while conferring onto lenders the power of remote automobile deactivation. This suggests datafication of driving behaviour produces new implications for class conditions when such data are integrated with the structures of the subprime market. The second case detailed in several news articles examines the plan for a large scale top-down cybernetic behavioural programming initiative by the Chinese government termed the "social credit system," built from digital traces of multiple economic and non-economic social behaviours of its citizens. While aspects of this system are currently voluntary, they are expected to become mandatory within five years. Ubiquitous surveillance of digital activity never before combined into a predictive and prescriptive score may be considered a nation-wide disciplinary subsumption of social activity under novel valuation algorithms, integrating previously unwatched or irrelevant external activities into new internal relations determinative of class structured possibilities. The plan for a social credit system appears driven toward developing a seamlessly interconnected national behavioural identity for every Chinese citizen, which may produce structural implications for pre-existing class conditions. I suggest these cases are examples of the need for library and information studies to engage critically with the emerging causal powers of information infrastructures theorized here as deepening capitalism's control of class structures.
