Authors: Şimşek Ömer , Sarsar Fırat
Published: March 2019

The aim of this study was to determine the teachers' views on technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK)self-efficacy and the frequency of using ICT in education and to examine whether there is a differentiation in theseviews according to certain variables. In addition, the relationship between teachers' use of ICT and TPACK-ISTEself-efficacy in various processes is examined. The study which is carried out with a descriptive survey, causalcomparison and correlational survey models includes 387 secondary and high school teachers as study sample. In thestudy, teachers consider themselves very competent especially in terms of content knowledge. TPACK-ISTEself-efficacy of vocational and technical teachers was significantly higher than that of the science and mathematicsteachers. While teachers benefit from ICT tools less frequently in measurement and evaluation as well as inpresenting the course subject; in terms of presenting the course subject, high school teachers use ICTs significantlymore often than the secondary school teachers; those who did receive in-service training on the use of technology ineducation use ICTs significantly more often than those who did not receive it. It is seen from the study results thatthe variables such as preparing the lecture notes, presenting the course subject and doing study explain theTPACK-ISTE self-efficacy significantly.

Published: March 2019

This study evaluated the viability of Lactobacillus acidophilus La-05, Lactobacillus plantarum LP299v and Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG in tropical mango juice, the resistance of the strains to gastrointestinal conditions simulated in vitro and the microbiological, physicochemical and sensory characteristics of the products obtained. The viabilities of L. rhamnosus GG and L. plantarum LP299v were greater than 7.96 log CFU mL-1 and 7.74 log CFU mL-1, respectively, during the 28 days of storage at 8 °C. However, there was a reduction (p < 0.05) in the viability of L. acidophilus La-5 after 21 days of storage, with counts of 3.81 log UFC mL-1. The parameters of pH, total soluble solids, luminosity (L*) and the color coordinates, a* and b*, did not differ between the treatments. However, the pH and acidity varied during the storage time, probably due to the fermentative action of the microorganisms. For the in vitro gastrointestinal resistance test, there was a difference in the gastric phase for enteric phases I and II. The mean viability of the microorganisms in the gastric phase was 5.11 log CFU mL-1, decreasing to 4.02 and 3.97 log CFU mL-1 in enteric phases I and II, respectively. Juices containing L. rhamnosus GG and L. plantarum LP299 were evaluated sensorially, presenting good acceptability. The results suggest that the tropical mango juice was a good carrier matrix for L. rhamnosus GG and L. plantarum LP 299v, being well accepted and therefore an alternative for populations with dietary restrictions.

Nitrogen fertilization can increase the appearance of new tillers, which can improve the structure of deferred sward, since the deferral period is not long. Thus, the objective of this study was to estimate the effects of nitrogen fertilization on structure and tillering dynamics of Piata palisade grass (Brachiaria brizantha cv. Piata) during deferment. We evaluated three nitrogen fertilization levels (none - 0 kg ha -1; medium - 75 kg ha -1; and high - 150 kg ha -1) associated with deferment periods (1, 30, 60, 90, and 120 days). The experimental design was set in completely randomised blocks in a split-plot arrangement, with three replications. The deferment period influenced foliage area index quadratically (p < 0.01) at all fertilization levels. The improvement in nitrogen fertilization levels increased light interception and reduced the foliage angle, but it did not affect tillering dynamics of Piata palisade grass during the deferment period. Appearance and mortality rates, the balance between tiller appearance and mortality and the stability index of the population of aerial and basal tillers of Piata palisade grass were higher at the beginning of the pasture deferment period. Nitrogen fertilization does not stimulate appearance of tillers on deferred Piata palisade grass. Tiller population stability, however, is only high at the beginning of deferment, decreasing after this initial period.

This study aimed to evaluate the association of technical cashew nut shell liquid (tCNSL) and two sources of non-protein nitrogen (NPN), dry matter intake (DMI), the partial and total apparent digestibility coefficient of nutrients, ruminal fermentation, microbial synthesis, and blood characteristics. Four Holstein steers (438 kg ± 17.14 kg) fitted with ruminal and duodenal cannula were used. Diets had (in DM basis) 135 g kg?1 of crude protein and 746 g kg?1 of total digestive nutrients. The roughage to concentrate ratio was 30:70. The experimental design was a 4 x 4 Latin square with 14-day experimental periods. The non-protein nitrogen sources used were livestock urea (U) and slow-release urea (SRU) (Optigen® II). The treatments consisted of diets containing U or SRU associated or not with tCNSL. The tCNSL was added to the diet in a proportion of 300 mg kg?1 of concentrate. DMI and ruminal, intestinal and total apparent digestibility coefficients of nutrients were not affected by experimental diets. The association of sources of NPN and tCNSL did not affect pH, ammoniacal nitrogen (NH3-N), plasma urea nitrogen (PUN), and microbial synthesis of animals consuming high-grain diets.

Published: March 2019

Thermal discomfort is one of the main causes of production losses in animals fully exposed to solar radiation under extensive livestock farming. The inclusion of trees in this farming system is the most efficient strategy to decrease the temperature and increase animal productivity without the need to explore new areas. In this context, the objective of this study was to characterize the microclimate in a silvopastoral system (SPS), a refuge area, and an open pasture, and evaluate thermal comfort and the ingestive behavior of animals under shade. The study was conducted at the Agronomic Institute of Paraná (IAPAR), located in Ibiporã, Paraná state, Brazil, in three areas with distinct management systems: a SPS of Eucalyptus grandis with Tifton 85 (Cynodon spp.), a woodland of Leucena leucocephala that provided shade to cattle, and a pasture in full sun (PFS). Automatic meteorological stations were installed in the SPS (one station beside the tree lines and the other in an average distance perpendicular to the rows), one in the refuge area, and one in the PFS. The measured variables were air temperature and relative humidity. The mean temperatures of the shaded treatments were compared to those of the PFS using a t-test. The mean values of the temperature and humidity index (THI) were calculated for each season of the year. The animal ingestion behavior in the SPS was analyzed in three typical days in different seasons of the year. Significant differences were observed between shade treatments and full-sun pasture, with a temperature decrease ranging from 0.4 to 1.6 °C in the shaded systems. The comparison of animal thermal comfort between the study areas in different seasons of the year indicated that there were no significant differences in thermal comfort between the SPS and refuge area relative to the PFS, suggesting a need to monitor the animals’ body temperature to better estimate thermal comfort. The evaluation of the ingestive behavior evidenced the animals’ preference to perform activities under tree shade and that the SPS led to changes in their food habits, optimizing grazing time. Therefore, the trees directly affected the microclimate of the studied environments, attenuating the temperature, protecting the animals against direct solar radiation, and providing better thermal comfort.

This study aimed to evaluate the adequacy of seven non-linear models (France, Orskov and McDonald, Gompertz, exponential, logistic, two-pool exponential and two-pool logistic) in the adjustment of the curve and in the generation of parameters of cumulative gas production from five tropical feedstuffs (rice hulls, sugarcane, cassava chips, turnip by-product, and peach-palm by-product) used in ruminant nutrition. To this end, the feedstuffs were incubated in vitro in graduated glass syringes together with a buffer inoculum solution, in triplicate. Gas production was read at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 36, 48, 52, 54, 56, 60 and 72 h of incubation. The data were used to generate the parameters of each model using the SAS statistical package. After the parameters were generated, the gas volume values were obtained at the aforementioned times, for each model, and these were compared with the values observed at incubation by using Model Evaluation System (MES) software. For the comparison, regression parameters were tested using Mayer’s test, in addition to the evaluation of the mean bias (MS), concordance correlation coefficient (CCC), and mean squared prediction error (MSPE). The France, Logistic, and Gompertz models, for rice hulls, and the Orskov and McDonald model, for cassava chips, were significant (P < 0.1) according to Mayer’s test, indicating lack of fit of the model. Besides presenting the lowest MSPE, the models that showed fit according to Mayer’s test were the two-pool logistic for rice hulls and cassava chips, and the two-pool exponential for sugarcane, turnip, and peach palm. Thus, the non-linear two-pool models are the most efficient in adjusting to the curve and in the generation of parameters of cumulative production of gases from the tested feedstuffs.

Determining the nutritional composition of a pasture is necessary to evaluate its quality, aiming to meet the requirements of feeding animals and guarantee good performance. The quality of the forage biomass produced depends directly on the fertility and type of soil, environmental conditions, and management. In this scenario, the aim was to evaluate the chemical composition, in vitro digestibility of dry matter, and macro- and micronutrient contents of Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandu cultivated in soils developed from basalt and sandstone in the state of Paraná. A total of 120 forage samples were collected in a soil developed from basalt and 116 in soil developed from sandstone. Forage harvesting occurred in autumn and spring for basalt soil (season effect), and in spring (soil effect) for sandstone soil. Soil samples (0–20 cm) were collected in the spring season, at the same forage collection sites, to obtain a greater sample representativity regarding climate–soil–plant relationships. Forage samples were separated in leaf blade and stem + sheath, and analyses of dry matter (DM), mineral matter (MM), crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), lignin, cellulose, hemicellulose, in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD), total digestible nutrients (TDN), nitrogen, and macro- and micronutrient contents were performed. In soil samples, the contents of P, K, Ca, Mg, Mn, and Zn were analyzed. There were season and soil-type effects on the chemical composition of the cultivar studied. The highest levels of protein, NDF, ADF, lignin, and cellulose were obtained in autumn. In samples from soil developed from basalt, higher levels of hemicellulose, IVDMD, and TDN were obtained in the spring. K, P, Mn, and Zn presented levels within the range recommended for the studied forage, but the values of Ca and Mg in autumn and N in the three studied periods remained below the level considered adequate. Soil nutrient contents were influenced (P < 0.05) by the soil source material, and the highest levels of K, Ca, Mg, Mn, and Zn were observed in soil developed from basalt. Forage cultivated in spring in the soil area developed from basalt, was nutritionally superior in relation to forage cultivated in the soil developed from sandstone.

Congenital defects can cause changes in the normal function or morphology of organs, thus contributing to neonatal mortality. Malformations in dogs occur as a result of genetic factors or by the action of teratogenic agents during pregnancy. Genetic defects can be inherited from one or both parents. These defects are more common in purebred puppies or can even be the result of consanguinity. Teratogenic agents, such as toxins, drugs, infectious diseases, mechanical influences, and irradiation, may affect the litters during gestational development. Hypoplasia of ribs has been described in human newborns. It is a rare and lethal malformation of autosomal recessive inheritance that prevents thoracic expansion and reduces pulmonary compliance, causing respiratory failure. A pregnant bitch of undefined breed was submitted to caesarean section. At birth, a neonate exhibited respiratory distress, and the palpation of the thorax indicated absence of ribs. In addition, the newborn had cleft palate and cleft lip, which led to perform the euthanasia of the animal. Post-mortem examination indicated hypoplasia of ribs and unilateral renal agenesis. As in the canine neonate, hypoplasia of ribs in human newborns is also associated with other malformations, such as cleft lip, cleft palate, and urogenital defects. The present report describes the first case of hypoplasia of ribs associated with other malformations in a canine neonate, the cause being possibly related to a genetic hereditary factor.

There is a paucity of data on the burden of obesity among primary Health care professional nurses in Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. This study examines the prevalence and determinants of overweight and obesity among Primary Healthcare Professional nurses in Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. This workplace cross-sectional study was conducted among 203 Primary Health Care Professional nurses selected conveniently across 41 primary healthcare facilities in Eastern Cape, South Africa following a the WHO STEPwise approach and using the WHO STEPwise questionnaire for data collection. Data were expressed as mean, counts and proportions, as appropriate. We compared percentages using chi-square test. Descriptive and inferential statistics were conducted. Seventy six percent of the nurses were obese and 18% were overweight. Age, gender, marital status, duration of practice, alcohol use and smoking were significantly associated with obesity. Only age >30 years and not using alcohol were independent predictors of obesity, after adjusting for confounders. We found a high prevalence of obesity among primary healthcare professional nurses in this setting. This constitute future risk for an increased prevalence of chronic diseases among the healthcare workforce in this setting. There is a need for measures to promote healthy lifestyle behaviours and weight management among nurses in this setting.

Published: March 2019

PURPOSE: The study has examined the problems encountered during management of cataract surgery during clinical practice within a developing country.

METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted by recruiting patients with the diagnosis of congenital cataract operated between 2011 and 2014. Intraocular lens was implanted, when the corneal diameter was 10 mm or more, which approximately corresponded to the capsular bag diameter, regardless of the patients’ age.

RESULTS: The results showed that 13 were aphakic and none of them developed visual axis opacification. Eleven out of the 49 pseudophakic patients needed 2 or more surgeries to clear visual axis opacification; whereas, 25 out of 49 pseudophakic patients received hydrophobic intraocular lens. However, 3 of them (12%) developed visual axis opacification. The remaining 24 patients received hydrophilic intraocular lens, where 8 of them (33%) developed visual axis opacification. There was increased incidence of visual axis opacification as a result of pseudophakia that required a second surgery, which delayed their visual rehabilitation.

CONCLUSION: Hydrophobic intraocular lenses are better used because of their lower risk to induce visual axis opacification.

Published: March 2019

In the twenty first century, nanotechnology has already offered numerous possibilities in implant dentistry. One nano step for man has resulted in a giant leap in implant dentistry. The advent of nanotechnology had created an opportunity for the engineering of new dental implant materials. This technology has also been used to enhance osseointegration by surface modifications of dental implants. Nanometre-controlled surfaces have ultimately directed the nature of peril-implant tissues and improved the clinical success rate of implant therapy. The possibilities introduced by nanotechnology now permit the tailoring of implant chemistry and structure. Nanotechnology in dental implantology has emerged as a frontier research area of interest in this decade. Long thought to be commercially uninhabitable, the once-barren nanotechnology landscape suddenly looks fertile. With the support of some brightest minds in science and engineering, this emerging field of super small is now firmly on the shortlist of technologies poised to produce big things in implant dentistry. In this article, we have made an attempt to review the current trends and future prospects on the impact of nanotechnology in implant dentistry.

O objetivo do presente artigo científico é analisar aspectos que versam sobre a relação entre o federalismo fiscal brasileiro, os incentivos fiscais e a proteção do meio ambiente, como formas de garantia do meio ambiente saudável e da vida digna para as presentes e futuras gerações. Para tanto, apresentaremos um panorama acerca do federalismo fiscal nacional, destacando que, nos Estados Fiscais, a arrecadação tributária é grande fonte de receita para os cofres públicos. Em seguida, analisaremos as diretrizes constitucionais (ambas relacionadas à dignidade humana) que preveem tanto a proteção ao meio ambiente quanto os estímulos às atividades empresariais. Neste ponto, é necessário destacar que a Constituição Federal de 1988 tutela diversos interesses individuais e coletivos, que, se forem analisados isoladamente, podem ser entendidos como antagônicos entre si. Por fim, serão estudados os incentivos fiscais como meio viabilizador destes dois núcleos de tutelas, proporcionando a proteção da sustentabilidade ambiental e a garantia das atividades empresariais.

Published: March 2019

A extradição é um instituto milenar, e também um importante mecanismo de garantia de direitos humanos, de soberania nacional e combate a impunidade. O presente artigo aborda os principais limites do processo de extradição no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, utilizando-se, para tanto, de revisão bibliográfica e análise documental. A extradição no Brasil é considerada mista, pois exige a atuação conjunta do Poder Executivo e do Poder Judiciário, respeitando o sistema belga de contensiodade limitada. Percebe-se que os limites ao processo de extradição são importantes para assegurar o respeito aos direitos humanos do estrangeiro, vedando-se, por exemplo, a extradição por crimes políticos ou por fato atípico. Por outro lado, para garantir o funcionamento do sistema, podem ocorrer restrições a direitos humanos, como a limitação da matéria de defesa que pode ser alegada pelo estrangeiro.

Published: March 2019

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar a teoria de Daniel Elazar sobre a estruturação do Estado federal enquanto modelo matricial de organização política. Realizar-se-á, inicialmente, uma análise semântica do termo “federal”, essencial para a compreensão da essência valorativa que fundamenta tal forma de Estado. Em seguida, passa-se ao estudo das categorias propostas por Elazar, em especial ao modelo matricial que se estrutura por células em um mesmo quadro, como uma matriz matemática na qual os diversos núcleos de poder se comunicam. Finalmente, verificar-se-á o Estado federal no mundo contemporâneo e como a teoria de Elazar pode servir de parâmetro para a análise desta forma de Estado.

Ever since the focus of organisations in the fields of social work, socio-economics, healthcare, and culture and education, which functioned as an appendage of the public administration authorities, has switched towards markets and management, the question of ensuring their survival has arisen, attached to which are also more fundamental questions: What is an organisation? What is management? When and why do organisations have to change? How can stagnation and change in organisations be explained? What does management need in order to implement change? How can organisations be analysed? How can organisations be changed practically? What demands are placed on management bodies in organisations? How can organisational consultancy firms support management bodies?

A Superhero . . . in Person: Dav Pilkey’s Remarkable Visit and Message
Authors: Ruffin Ellen Hunter
Published: March 2019

On Thursday, April 14, 2018, I received an early morning text from an old friend. It said:Just wanted to share the below text with you. It came from my daughter, whose son was at the Dav Pilkey celebration yesterday . . . He is in the second grade and suffers from apraxia and dyslexia and is struggling to read. My daughter sent this to our family’s group text:“Today Tyler got to listen to Dav Pilkey [author of Captain Underpants] speak at USM [the University of Southern Mississippi]. He got a signed book. I know it’s the excitement of meeting him but tonight was the first time he picked up a book to read ‘just because.’ He read the whole first chapter.”Sometimes we forget that lives can be changed through the work we do. Thanks for bringing Dave [sic] Pilkey to Hattiesburg!That’s right. Author Dav Pilkey came to Hattiesburg, Mississippi, and lives were changed. He was the honoree at the fifty-first Fay B. Kaigler Children’s Book Festival, April 11–13, 2018, and he is the fiftieth individual to receive the silver medallion from USM. The first was Lois Lenski in 1969, so this tradition has a remarkable history.

Published: March 2019

Prince George’s County (PGC), Maryland, has been a place of resettlement for more than two thousand refugees, asylees, and those with special immigrant visas (SIVs) since 2012. The PGC Memorial Library System was recently awarded a $3,000 ALSC Light the Way Grant to expand its programming to the refugees in the community.Developing robust library programming with a refugee community can be challenging—even beyond the obvious challenge presented by language barriers. Cultural differences can be huge barriers. For example, for many Afghani refugees, it is culturally unacceptable for women to leave the apartment complex unless accompanied by a male relative. These male relatives are frequently at work or engaged in work readiness programs, so they are not available to serve as escorts to the library. This means the library must go into the refugee communities rather than expecting them to come to the library.

This study aims to analyze, through a cooperative, the role of social organization in the insertion of the land reform settlers of the city of Tupanciretã - RS in the dynamic markets of the milk production chain. For this, a study was conducted in the Regional Agrarian Reform Cooperative Mother Earth - COPERTERRA. As main results, it was found that the Coperterra is inserted in dynamic markets and has shown that dairy activity fits the reality of the small farms, since that provides a monthly income and that the risks to the seasonality of production can be mitigated with planning and organization of animal feed. Moreover, this activity enables farmers have time to dedicate to the production of other food, which ensures diversification of property. It is worth noting that 10% of the milk produced is industrialized and traded in the institutional markets.

Published: March 2019

The objective of this study was to investigate the application, involvement, and relevance of principles of good corporate governance practices in sports entities. Eight sporting entities were studied, using the multiple case study method. For the data treatment, intra-case and inter-case analyses were used. We observed that in all the sports entities analyzed, the principles of good corporate governance practices have relevance and involvement, and are mainly tied to transparency and accountability. This information contributes to the understanding that principles of corporate governance are essential for any organization, including sports entities. This proves that corporate governance is not just another elementary and immature theme in sporting entities. We concluded that these principles are preponderant for the sports entities, contributing to their modernization and their professionalism in the world sports scenario.

Majority of academic publications on innovation has focused on aspects of technological innovation, with orientation for the industrial sector and in smaller number on the service sector. As innovation in service is a field of studies in evolution and, therefore, requires a special attention for its apprehension, the objective of this study is to analyze innovations implemented by entrepreneurs in private schools, from the categories of innovation in service of Sundbo and Gallouj (1998) and the model of innovation of Hansen and Birkinshaw (2007).  For this, the research method of multiple cases studies was adopted, and evidences was collected with three entrepreneurs of small and medium private schools size located in Sergipe, through semi structured interviews based on analytical categories from these theoretical models adopted.  It was observed that these schools basically promote innovations in their process, in their organization or management and in solutions for specific problems presented by its customers. Generally speaking the changes carried through by these managers in these enterprises, can be seen as innovations only for the company or for the local market and they cannot be understood as an radical innovation.

The aim of this paper was to identify and discuss the profile of national scientific production and the evolution of the theme Corporate Governance (GC) in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in the articles published in the SPELL, in the Google Scholar and in the national magazines with Qualis A2 to B5, in the period 2005-2013, as well as delineate and characterize the main themes and methodological approaches that predominate in this production. For this, we carried out a bibliometric study with 51 articles, using a quantitative approach. The results show that the descriptive research, qualitative and case studies are prevalent in articles and those with two or three authors occur more frequently. They also show that the two most prolific authors published 4 articles each one and that the area showed an increase from 2005 to 2009, but became erratic in 2010-2013 in the number of articles published and is characterized to be based on emerging and diverse themes as perception of stakeholders, corporate social responsibility (CSR), ownership structure and control structure, CG in HEIs family, disclosure and accountability, CG versus performance and IT governance.

Apparel brands communicate social identity and membership of the person that consume it. Knowing this, many brands were developed, some exploring their relationship with fashion, whereas others use a cause association. In order to increase knowledge about the brand influence, this study aimed to analyze the impact of tag types (social, generic and manufacturer), on the choice and the price of a shirt. It was developed a quantitative survey with a accidental sample of the 248 people with high degree of education. Through the use of conjoint analysis, it was obtained a model that ranked three attributes according their importance to the choice of a T-shirt and the most relevant characteristics of each attribute. Also, it was analyzed the relationship of the three brand types and the T-shirt price. The study revealed that the quality in this segment is more important than the brand, and that different brands can add value to a product at varying levels, depending on the consumer segment.

Relationship marketing has long been presented as a possibility for companies to differentiate themselves in their markets, and some concepts have been widely studied in this direction, especially loyalty. In this context, this work aimed to validate a model that shows the relationship between some antecedent variables to loyalty in the context of a convenience market - the drugstore market, seeking to understand how the customer perceived value, satisfaction, trust and loyalty are related. To this end, a descriptive conclusive research applied to a sample of 602 respondents was conducted and 3 focus groups were also conducted as a reference for defining the scales. To analyze the model the technique of structural equation modeling with Partial Least Squares (PLS) was used. Participants were clients of three stores from one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in a capital of southeastern Brazil. The results indicated that at the surveyed stores, perceived value and trust had a positive and significant impact on loyalty. In addition, satisfaction had a mediating role in relation to perceived value and loyalty, but it was not considered a good direct antecedent of loyalty, since it interfered in the significance between trust and loyalty. Trust also had a mediating effect between satisfaction and loyalty, confirming the findings of supportive literature.Relationship marketing has long been presented as a possibility for companies to differentiate themselves in their markets, and some concepts have been widely studied in this direction, especially loyalty.

Published: March 2019

Distinguished international published papers examine mediator, moderator, moderator-mediator, mediator-moderator variables and indirect effects over the causal relationship in social sciences. Among the possible different ways of data interpretation, understand the moderating effect using linear regression analysis is an alternative. The main objective of this article is to discuss and to clarify theconcept of moderation, when using the multiple regression analysis instead of the traditional general linear models – GLM (e.g., MANOVA, ANCOVA, ANOVA, ANCOVA). The second goal is to apply three estimates: (a) two-way moderating effect with independent continuous variables, (b) two-way moderating effect with a continuous and a dummy variable as independent variables and (c) three-waymoderating effect with independent continuous variables, all using regression analysis. Third, the paper discusses the ordinal moderation and cross-over effects.The results showed that three-way interactions demand group analysis and were not used.

Studies on entrepreneurial behaviour are neglecting various psychosocial specificities related to the informal entrepreneurship. Therefore, this study aimed to understand the behaviour of informal entrepreneurs through its values provisions that are underlying. For this, we counted with the participation of 173 informal entrepreneurs from three cities at the state of Alagoas, in which they are 84 (48.6%) men and 89 (51.4%) women, aged 14-70 years (M = 39.83, SD = 0.90). Participants were asked to answer to (1) the Basic Values Questionnaire and (2) the Socio-demographic Questionnaire. Informal entrepreneurs surveyed had value patterns with materialistic motivating and central guiding principle, being the Existence values (m = 6.277) more driven – Survival and Maturity values as priorities –, associated to a strong correlation with the Promotion values (r = 0.446; p = 0.000), which shows up congruent with what the literature attributes to the entrepreneur prototype. The study provided explanations on possible sociological and anthropological explainers for the informal entrepreneurship, about the structural nature of self-employment in Brazil, such as the difficulty in entering the formal labour market, the need for survival and the culture of informality linked to the construct of the Brazilian Jeitinho.
