Inserção de alunos bolsistas no mercado de trabalho: qual o valor do diploma universitário?
Authors: Lemos Ana Heloísa Da Costa , Neves Diana Rebello , Rodrigues Patricia Dos Reis Farias
Published: January 2016

O presente estudo tem como objetivo investigar de que forma a conclusão do curso universitário garantiu a empregabilidade de seus detentores, oriundos de estratos sociais menos favorecidos. Essa indagação foi motivada, por um lado, pelas conclusões de pesquisa realizada na França por Bourdieu (2007), que identificou que o aumento do número de diplomas tende a desvalorizá-los, não garantindo a ascensão social de seus possuidores e, por, outro, pelas premissas de Schultz (1973a) que postula que os anos de estudo do indivíduo equivalem a um investimento no futuro, que ampliarão suas possibilidades de escolha profissional. Para analisar o confronto entre essas duas visões realizou-se uma pesquisa qualitativa junto a egressos do curso de graduação em administração de uma IES privada que possuíam bolsa de estudos integral. A análise dos resultados sugere que, apesar das comprovadas desvantagens oriundas da origem social menos favorecida, o acesso à formação superior em uma universidade de renome configurou-se como um importante recurso de aumento do capital cultural e social de seus possuidores.
A Inserção do egresso do sistema prisional no mercado de trabalho: estudo de casos múltiplos em organizações cearenses
Authors: Rocha Virna Fernandes Távora , De Lima Tereza Cristina Batista , Ferraz Serafim Firmo de Souza , Ferraz Sofia Batista
Published: January 2016

Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo identificar as especificidades dos subprocessos de gestão de pessoas (GP) por parte das organizações contratantes de egressos do sistema prisional no estado do Ceará. A relevância dessa temática se deve à importância de obter um conhecimento mais aprofundado sobre a gestão dos egressos pelas organizações devido ao impacto social das práticas. O estudo é qualitativo e descritivo, por meio de abordagem bibliográfica e documental. Foi realizado um estudo de caso múltiplo junto a três organizações cearenses com entrevistas semiestruturadas com os responsáveis pela gestão dos egressos nas organizações, que detalharam os processos de recrutamento e seleção, treinamento, avaliação, remuneração e benefícios, e demissão. Os resultados obtidos apontam que, mesmo com os incentivos governamentais relativos aos encargos trabalhistas, poucas organizações aderem aos programas de inserção de egressos. As oportunidades de trabalho se concentram em atividades de baixa complexidade; os critérios de seleção para o trabalho baseiam-se em aspectos comportamentais e menos em competências profissionais; os programas de treinamentos são incipientes, com base, apenas, em treinamento introdutório; a avaliação de desempenho é constituída, basicamente, pelo controle da assiduidade; a remuneração e os benefícios atendem aos requisitos mínimos exigidos por lei; e a demissão se baseia em aspectos contratuais e como punição pelo absenteísmo. Notou-se, ainda, que com maior profissionalização e acompanhamento, as organizações poderão, além de usufruir dos incentivos governamentais, cumprir um importante papel de socialmente responsáveis, auferindo melhores resultados quanto à produtividade e ganhos de imagem.

Two-Stage Optimization Problems with Multivariate Stochastic Order Constraints
Authors: Dentcheva Darinka , Wolfhagen Eli
Published: January 2016

We propose a two-stage risk-averse stochastic optimization problem with a stochastic-order constraint on a vector-valued function of the second-stage decisions. This model is motivated by a multiobjective second-stage problem. We formulate optimality conditions for the problem and analyse the Lagrangian relaxation of the order constraint. We propose two decomposition methods to solve the problems and prove their convergence. The methods are based on Lagrangian relaxation of the order constraints and on a construction of successive risk-neutral two-stage problems. Additionally, we propose a new combinatorial method for verification of the multivariate order relation, which is a key part of both methods. We analyse a supply chain problem using our model and we apply our methods to solve the optimization problem. Numerical results confirm the efficiency of the proposed methods.
Optimal Trend Following Trading Rules
Authors: Dai Min , Yang Zhou , Zhang Qing , Zhu Qiji Jim
Published: January 2016

This paper is concerned with the optimality of a trend following trading rule. The underlying market is modeled like a bull-bear switching market in which the drift of the stock price switches between two states: the uptrend (bull market) and the down trend (bear market). We consider the case when the market mode is not directly observable and model the switching process as a hidden Markov chain. This is a continuation of our earlier study reported in Dai et al. [Dai M, Zhang Q, Zhu Q (2010) Trend following trading under a regime-switching model. SIAM J. Fin. Math. 1:780–810] where a trend following rule is obtained in terms of a sequence of stopping times. Nevertheless, a severe restriction imposed in Dai et al. [Dai M, Zhang Q, Zhu Q (2010) trend following trading under a regime-switching model. SIAM J. Fin. Math. 1:780–810] is that only a single share can be traded over time. As a result, the corresponding wealth process is not self-financing. In this paper, we relax this restriction. Our objective is to maximize the expected log-utility of the terminal wealth. We show, via a thorough theoretical analysis, that the optimal trading strategy is trend following. Numerical simulations and backtesting, in support of our theoretical findings, are also reported.
Time-Consistent Decisions and Temporal Decomposition of Coherent Risk Functionals
Authors: Pflug Georg Ch. , Pichler Alois
Published: January 2016

In management and planning it is commonplace for additional information to become available gradually over time. It is well known that most risk measures (risk functionals) are time inconsistent in the following sense: it may happen that at a given time period, some loss distribution appears to be less risky than another one, but looking at the conditional distribution at a later time, the opposite relation holds almost surely.

The extended conditional risk functionals introduced in this paper enable a temporal decomposition of the initial risk functional that can be used to ensure consistency between past and future preferences. The central result is a decomposition theorem, which allows recomposing the initial coherent risk functional by compounding the conditional risk functionals without losing information or preferences. It follows from our results that the revelation of partial information in time must change the decision maker’s preferences—for consistency reasons—among the remaining courses of action. Further, in many situations, the extended conditional risk functional allows ranking of different policies, even based on incomplete information.

In addition, we use counterexamples to show that without change-of-measures, the only time-consistent risk functionals are the expectation and the essential supremum.

Native Morphology of Hydrated Spheroidal Halloysite Observed by Environmental Transmission Electron Microscopy
Authors: Berthonneau Jeremie , Grauby Olivier , Jeannin Charlotte , Chaudanson Damien , Joussein Emmanuel , Baronnet Alain
Published: January 2016

Natural mineral materials such as tabular and spheroidal halloysites have recently been suggested as candidates for intercalating metal ions or organic molecules. Their potential use as nanoadsorbents is related to their porous structure and water content. Although the two morphologies can coexist in natural deposits, spheroidal halloysites remain poorly characterized whereas much literature exists on tubular halloysites. The present study investigates the native morphology, internal porous structure, and behavior upon dehydration of spheroidal halloysite from Opotiki (New Zealand). This mineral was characterized in its natural hydrated state using a transmission electron microscope equipped with an environmental cell (EC-TEM). The sample was placed in a sealed block in which water vapor-saturated air circulated at a pressure of 30 Torr. The observed particles consisted of almost complete spheroids displaying polyhedral external surfaces. 1:1 layers stack concentrically as a pore-free, onion-like structure. The dynamic processes of dehydration created by slow depressurization of the cell resulted in a decrease in the layer-to-layer distance (d001) from ~10 Å to ~7 Å due to the loss of interlayer water molecules. Irreversible formation of spurious ‘internal pores’ was recorded during this process. These pores were not indigenous to the hydrated 10 Å halloysite and resulted from the collapse of the native layers. They cannot account for the physical chemical properties of spheroidal halloysite. Spheroidal halloysites would have a lower propensity for intercalating ions or molecules than tubular halloysites. Isolated facets were also observed in high-resolution-TEM and displayed a pseudo-hexagonal morphology. The three-dimensional microstructure of the spheroid appeared bent along the three pseudo equivalent yi directions of the kaolinite-like single layers. An analogy with polyhedral serpentine has allowed the proposal of a formation process of hydrated spheroidal halloysite triggered by enrichment in divalent ions in the growth system.
Modified Mineral Phases During Clay Ceramic Firing
Authors: El Ouahabi M. , Daoudi L. , Hatert F. , Fagel N.
Published: January 2016

Ceramic clays are among the most complicated of ceramic systems because of the very intricate relationship between the behavior of minerals during ceramic processing and their modifications during heating. A major challenge is to predict the phase changes in clay ceramics. The aims of this study were to establish reference data of ceramic products that can be formed based on the mineralogical compositions of the local raw materials. These data, in turn, can be compared with archeological ceramics in order to study their origins.

The mineralogical compositions and modifications during firing (550–1100°C under oxidizing conditions) of seven clayey materials sampled from the main clay deposits of northern Morocco were evaluated by X-ray powder diffraction. Two groups of clays were distinguished according to the type of neoformed high-temperature minerals: non-calcareous clays and calcareous clays. For the non-calcareous raw materials, spinel was produced at 950°C. Cristobalite and mullite were formed at temperatures in excess of 1000°C from clays that contain illite, kaolinite, and chlorite. In clays containing vermiculite and large amounts of chlorite, hematite was formed at temperatures in excess of 950°C. Firing of calcareous clays at temperatures >950°C yielded Ca-silicates (diopside, gehlenite and wollastonite), spinel, cristobalite, hematite, and feldspars. Mullite may also form in the calcareous clay products when the carbonate content exceeds 10%.

Originalidad y estímulos mediterráneos en la cerámica ibérica: el ejemplo de Elche
Authors: Olmos Romera Ricardo
Published: January 2016

En este trabajo analizamos la iconografía de la cerámica ibérica del Sudeste español centrándonos en el ejemplo de Elche (Alicante), cuyo floruit productivo se sitúa en época helenística (III-I a.C). Frente a las interpretaciones comparatistas anteriores, que buscaban en la representación local un simple reflejo de otras culturas mediterráneas, a través fundamentalmente de los modelos figurativos griegos y púnicos, proponemos aquí un modelo que explique internamente estas imágenes, sin renunciar, por otra parte, en casos concretos a reconocer en ellas una determinada influencia formal —y hasta religiosa— helenizante o púnica. Las representaciones vegetal, animal y humana constituyen una estructura orgánica en la cual los elementos se sustituyen alternativamente codefiniéndose unos a otros. Las excepciones aparentes pueden hallar una justificación interna dentro del propio universo figurativo ibérico.

Published: January 2016

Se ofrece un análisis de los restos óseos recuperados en el yacimiento del Bronce Final de La Peña Negra (Crevillente, Alicante). El material estudiado consiste en una muestra preseleccionada por el excavador, lo que explica la ausencia de especímenes inidentificables, la anormal abundancia de huesos completos y la inexistencia de restos por debajo de una talla crítica. Ello obliga a ser cautos a la hora de valorar la fuente de subsistencia de estas gentes: bóvidos u ovinos. Las hipótesis formuladas en este trabajo deberán ser contrastadas con los resultados del análisis de la totalidad de la fauna del mismo nivel.

Las ciudades costeras del Conventus Carthaginensis durante el siglo III D.C.: Saetabis, Dianium, Ilici y Lucentum
Authors: Pérez Centeno María del Rosario
Published: January 2016

Una de las ideas preconcebidas de la historiografía hispana, es la de considerar al siglo III d.C. como un período de crisis, en el que las ciudades dejan de desempeñar las funciones administrativas, económicas, sociales o religiosas, para las que habían sido creadas, sin haber contado con un análisis detallado de toda la documentación existente, ni tener en cuenta las diferencias regionales o cronológicas en su globalidad. Este trabajo quiere suplir ese vacío documental para el caso de las ciudades de Saitabi, Dianium, Ilici y Lucentum.

Religión romana y religión indígena en las ciudades de la céltica hispana
Authors: Olivares Pedreño Juan Carlos
Published: January 2016

El presente artículo estudia la interacción entre los cultos romanos e indígenas en las ciudades del área céltica de la Península Ibérica. La difusión del culto a deidades romanas en Hispania es evidente, pero ello no tuvo como consecuencia la eliminación de las deidades autóctonas, puesto que éstas pervivieron con una considerable solidez. Fue en las ciudades donde la romanización religiosa fue más intensa y ello contribuyó a que sólo determinadas divinidades indígenas fueran veneradas en ellas, principalmente femeninas y de carácter popular, relacionadas con la familia y la fecundidad, mientras que las deidades indígenas masculinas con un acusado carácter público y de identidad colectiva pervivieron en las comunidades rurales.

This paper studies the adjustment of production factors to the cycle taking into account factor utilization in multiple dimensions (labor working time, capital operating time and capital capacity utilization) and examines the impact of obstacles to increasing capital operating time on this adjustment path. Factor utilization adjusts the most rapidly, first through capital capacity utilization and capital operating time and then labor working time. The adjustment is slow for the number of employees and even slower for the capital stock. Obstacles to increasing capital operating time lead to a slower adjustment of capital operating time, offset by a stronger adjustment of capacity utilization.

Fast (3 min) pot, atom and step economics (PASE) potassium fluoride catalyzed multicomponent reaction of isatins, malononitrile and 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one results in efficient formation of substituted spirooxindole-3,4′-pyrano[4,3-b]pyrans in 92–96% yields. The developed ‘on-solvent’ approach to the substituted spirooxindole-3,4′-pyrano[4,3-b]pyrans – the pharmacologically perspective substances with known antiviral, antileishmanial, anticonvulsant and anti-HIV activities – is beneficial from the viewpoint of diversity-oriented large-scale processes and represents fast and environmentally benign synthetic concept for the multicomponent reactions strategy.

Published: January 2016

The swelling of dissolving pulps has been investigated by a new method based on the MorfiRanalyser, which is measuring the width variation of thousands of fibres in a cupriethylenediamine (CUEN) solution in a few minutes. Pulps from various origins were analysed coming from softwood, birch wood, eucalyptus wood, kraft pulps, sulphite pulps and ECF and TCF bleached pulps, which were modified by several treatments including chemical (cold caustic extraction, hypochlorite) or enzymatic (cellulase) methods. The swelling was much affected by the crystalline form of cellulose and the hemicellulose content but did not depend neither on the cellulose DP nor on the fibre structure (hardwood vs. softwood). The dissolving pulp reactivity in the viscose process was also assessed by swelling in dilute solutions of cupriethylenediamine (CUEN) instead of the Fock’s method.
Physico-chemical Characterization of Turbidity-Causing Particles in Beet Sugar Solutions

Published: January 2016

The occurrence of turbidity is a frequently observed phenomenon in beet sugar manufacturing, particularly in thick juice. The presence of small dispersed turbidity-causing particles can have a direct impact on the consumer’s perceivable quality of white sugar containing products. Therefore, this work aims to characterize those turbidity-causing particles and elucidate the mechanism of their formation. Samples from various European beet sugar plants were collected during different sugar production periods. The turbidity of white sugar is found to be mainly related to small calcium oxalate particles (0.45–1 µm). Their occurrence is obviously related to the presence of calcium and oxalate. However, the analysis presented documents that beyond the levels of these ions, other factors like storage time, the change of environment due to microbiological processes as well as simple processing steps have a profound effect on turbidity levels. The results confirm that also at an industrial scale calcium oxalate dihydrate precipitates from concentrated sucrose solutions despite the fact that calcium oxalate monohydrate is the most stable form. In summary our analysis of turbidity at an industrial scale marks a starting point for any further turbidity reduction approach.

In recent years, kinematic laser scanning has become increasingly popular because it offers many benefits compared to static laser scanning. The advantages include both saving of time in the georeferencing and a more favorable scanning geometry. Often mobile laser scanning systems are installed on wheeled platforms, which may not reach all parts of the object. Hence, there is an interest in the development of portable systems, which remain operational even in inaccessible areas. The development of such a portable laser scanning system is presented in this paper. It consists of a lightweight direct georeferencing unit for the position and attitude determination and a small low-cost 2D laser scanner. This setup provides advantages over existing portable systems that employ heavy and expensive 3D laser scanners in a profiling mode.

A special emphasis is placed on the system calibration, i. e. the determination of the transformation between the coordinate frames of the direct georeferencing unit and the 2D laser scanner. To this end, a calibration field is used, which consists of differently orientated georeferenced planar surfaces, leading to estimates for the lever arms and boresight angles with an accuracy of mm and one-tenth of a degree. Finally, point clouds of the mobile laser scanning system are compared with georeferenced point clouds of a high-precision 3D laser scanner. Accordingly, the accuracy of the system is in the order of cm to dm. This is in good agreement with the expected accuracy, which has been derived from the error propagation of previously estimated variance components.

Windstorm Price Effects on Construction Materials
Authors: Simmons Kevin M.
Published: January 2016

Windstorms can leave massive damage as they march across a helpless region. As population increases in areas prone to windstorms, damage only escalates. Most economic impacts are local but some storms are large enough to create ripple effects felt thousands of miles away. This paper examines one such storm, Hurricane Andrew, and the effect it had on a common construction material, plywood. It finds that the national price of plywood increased sharply after Andrew with no explanation other than the hurricane itself.
Fuzzy Logic-Based Formalisms for Gynecology Disease Diagnosis

The very basis of the present article is the fact that the medical knowledge consisting of clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of a disease is with imprecision and uncertainty. The overall approach in gynecological disease diagnosis could be divided into three distinct stages, and this was confirmed by seven experienced gynecologists. Stage 1 refers to an initial screening process in order to arrive at a single disease diagnosis for the patients, which is based only on the subjective information provided by patients to the physician. In stage 2, the patient who has not received a single diagnostic label in stage 1 is further investigated for a single disease diagnosis using past history criteria. If stage 2 fails to arrive at a single disease diagnosis for a patient, then physical examination and various tests like imaging tests, blood tests, etc., are conducted, and the test results are processed in stage 3. In stage 1, we have revisited fuzzy relational calculus and mathematically evaluated the perceptions of the domain experts (gynecologists) with respect to 31 gynecological diseases. The paper also presents the research findings with a case study focused on stage 2 using a type 1 fuzzy inference system. Out of 226 patients, 50 are correctly diagnosed for a single disease and 147 for multiple diseases in stage 1. The paper concludes that fuzzy relational calculus is an effective method as an “initial screening” process to arrive at a single disease diagnosis. We have identified 29 out of 226 patients satisfying past history criteria to achieve a single disease diagnosis by stage 2. Investigations for stage 3 are in progress.
A Genetic Algorithm Approach for Discovering Tuned Fuzzy Classification Rules with Intra- and Inter-Class Exceptions
Authors: Bala Renu , Ratnoo Saroj
Published: January 2016

Fuzzy rule-based systems (FRBSs) are proficient in dealing with cognitive uncertainties like vagueness and ambiguity imperative to real-world decision-making situations. Fuzzy classification rules (FCRs) based on fuzzy logic provide a framework for a flexible human-like reasoning involving linguistic variables. Appropriate membership functions (MFs) and suitable number of linguistic terms – according to actual distribution of data – are useful to strengthen the knowledge base (rule base [RB]+ data base [DB]) of FRBSs. An RB is expected to be accurate and interpretable, and a DB must contain appropriate fuzzy constructs (type of MFs, number of linguistic terms, and positioning of parameters of MFs) for the success of any FRBS. Moreover, it would be fascinating to know how a system behaves in some rare/exceptional circumstances and what action ought to be taken in situations where generalized rules cease to work. In this article, we propose a three-phased approach for discovery of FCRs augmented with intra- and inter-class exceptions. A pre-processing algorithm is suggested to tune DB in terms of the MFs and number of linguistic terms for each attribute of a data set in the first phase. The second phase discovers FCRs employing a genetic algorithm approach. Subsequently, intra- and inter-class exceptions are incorporated in the rules in the third phase. The proposed approach is illustrated on an example data set and further validated on six UCI machine learning repository data sets. The results show that the approach has been able to discover more accurate, interpretable, and interesting rules. The rules with intra-class exceptions tell us about the unique objects of a category, and rules with inter-class exceptions enable us to take a right decision in the exceptional circumstances.

To compare the frequency of histologic chorioamnionitis and funisitis among women experiencing preterm labor, preterm premature rupture of membranes (PROM) and cervical insufficiency.

This retrospective cohort study included singleton pregnant women who delivered at ≤36 weeks of gestation. The patients with preterm birth were subdivided into preterm labor (n=117), preterm PROM (n=153), and cervical insufficiency (n=20). All placentas were examined for pathology, according to the criteria of

1) Histologic chorioamnionitis was diagnosed in 48.7% (57/117) of cases with preterm labor, 47.4% (73/153) with preterm PROM, and 75.0% (15/20) with cervical insufficiency. Funisitis was detected in 11.1% (13/117) of cases with preterm labor, 15.7% (24/153) with preterm PROM, and 40.0% (8/20) with cervical insufficiency. 2) Frequency of histologic chorioamnionitis was higher in cases with cervical insufficiency compared to preterm PROM. Frequency of funisitis was higher in cases with cervical insufficiency compared to both preterm labor and preterm PROM (P<0.05). The difference in frequency of funisitis remained significant after adjustment for gestational age at delivery and cervical dilatation at diagnosis. 3) Frequency of grade 2 funisitis was higher in cases with cervical insufficiency (35.0%, 7/20) compared to both preterm labor (6.8%, 8/117) and preterm PROM (9.8%, 15/153) (P=0.001). And the difference remained significant after adjustment for gestational age at delivery and cervical dilatation at diagnosis.

: The highest frequency of funisitis was observed in cervical insufficiency among cases with spontaneous preterm birth.
