Racionalidades Instrumental e Substantiva no Terceiro Setor
Authors: ROCHA Jean Carlos Mendes da
Published: May 2020

Este ensaio teórico desenvolveu um estudo sobre as racionalidades instrumental e substantiva nas organizações do terceiro. O terceiro setor surge para fazer frente à incapacidade do Estado em atender às demandas da sociedade. Diferente das organizações produtivas, cujas ações são motivadas pela racionalidade instrumental, sua lógica é voltada para valores como solidariedade, reciprocidade e satisfação social. Por esse motivo, essas organizações são consideradas como substantivas, ou seja, suas ações são motivadas pela racionalidade substantiva. Observa-se, hoje, que a racionalidade instrumental se faz presente no terceiro setor, no qual se espera predominância da racionalidade substantiva. Contudo, como é possível afirmar que essas organizações são motivadas predominantemente pela racionalidade substantiva? A partir da utilização de um método adaptado do modelo de análise de racionalidade nas organizações proposto por Serva et al. (2015), o objetivo deste ensaio foi identificar as expressões das racionalidades instrumental e substantiva nas organizações do terceiro setor. Após a análise teórica, foi possível identificar as expressões das racionalidades instrumental e substantiva nas organizações do terceiro setor e constatar a predominância da racionalidade substantiva nessas organizações.

Authors: D Otero , M Stoddard , S Ikram
Published: May 2020

An 88-year-old male presented for a routine transthoracic echocardiogram. Dilated coronary sinus was noted, raising the suspicion for persistent left superior venous cava (PLSVC). An agitated saline study from the left upper extremity demonstrated a flow through the coronary sinus into the right ventricle in a parasternal long-axis view. A venogram from the right internal jugular vein showed the PLSVC drained into a much dilated coronary sinus (CS) that connected to the right atrium. The right superior vena cava was absent. PLSVC along with absent right superior vena cava is rare and the inadvertent CS cannulation may result in vessel perforation.

The Competitive Struggle to Win Tournaments: The Allies’ Race to Capture Adolf Hitler’s Eagle’s Nest
Authors: Mixon Franklin G. , Gómez-Mejia Luis R.
Published: May 2020

Tournament theory posits that there are situations where winning matters a lot and, as a result, agent rewards are not proportional to performance. According to tournament theorists, the large pay differentials that exist between organizational levels are intended to motivate agents to exert greater effort in an attempt to win the prize. Although a large corpus of literature on tournaments has emerged over time, little is known about the social dynamics involved in tournaments. This article addresses this gap through a historical narrative concerning how Allied forces in World War II competed to capture Adolf Hitler’s famed Bavarian reception house, known to the world as the Eagle’s Nest.

Authors: Murali Gopal  , Alka Gupta  , P. Rajan  , C.P. Radhakrishnan Nair
Published: May 2020

The changes undergoing in the microorganism population due to the application of phorate 10G, carbofuran 3G (@ 10 g a.i./ palm) and neem oil cake (@ 1.5 kg / palm) in  the basin region of coconut growing in root (wilt) affected area was studied. Generally, a high microbial population was observed in the control plot. Carbofuran proved to be more toxic as compared to phorate as it suppressed the bacterial, actinomycetal, and free-living N2 -fixer’s number significantly. Against Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter (nitrifiers), the influence was inconsistent. Neem oil cake enhanced bacterial and free-living N2-fixer count; against actinomycetes and fungi there was an initial stimulatory, and then antagonistic impact, whereas, it proved detrimental to the nitrifiers.  From the six soil samplings done, spread over a period of six months, the microbial load was recorded to be high whenever there was moderate rainfall and medium temperature. Application of neem oil cake produced positive effect on the beneficial microorganisms as compared to the systemic insecticides.

International Trade Costs and Trade Flows: Evidence from the West African Monetary Zone (WAMZ)
Authors: Ozekhome Hassan
Published: May 2020

Purpose: The study examines the effect of international trade costs on trade flows in the West African Monetary Zone (WAMZ), a sub-regional economic bloc within the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).

Method: Six member countries of the WAMZ, based on data availability, are examined using panel data estimation technique and the Fully Modified Ordinary Least squares (FMOLS), which is employed to test for the robustness of results, for the sample period of 2006-2018.

Results: The study finds a negative and significant effect of international trade costs on trade flows in the WAMZ sub-region. Time to trade is also found to be negatively and significantly related to trade. Exchange rate, financial development (measured by commercial banks' credit to the private sector), and real GDP growth rate (a measure of growth in annual national income/economic size) have a positive and significant impact on trade in the sub-region.  The study further finds evidence that the ease of doing business is positively related to trade in the sub-region, but the impact is weak.

Implications: In the light of the empirical findings, the study recommends that policy measures and strategies to reduce international trade costs and time to trade through simplified and harmonized trade procedures be implemented in the sub-region.  Policies to encourage domestic investment (i.e increase capital stock) and rapid development of the financial sector should also be implemented. These should be supported with sound and stable macroeconomic exchange rate management policies, in order to enhance trade and integration in the sub-region.
Tuning the Exospace Weather Radio for Stellar Coronal Mass Ejections

Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) on stars other than the Sun have proven very difficult to detect. One promising pathway lies in the detection of type II radio bursts. Their appearance and distinctive properties are associated with the development of an outward propagating CME-driven shock. However, dedicated radio searches have not been able to identify these transient features in other stars. Large Alfvén speeds and the magnetic suppression of CMEs in active stars have been proposed to render stellar eruptions “radio-quiet.” Employing 3D magnetohydrodynamic simulations, we study the distribution of the coronal Alfvén speed, focusing on two cases representative of a young Sun-like star and a mid-activity M-dwarf (Proxima Centauri). These results are compared with a standard solar simulation and used to characterize the shock-prone regions in the stellar corona and wind. Furthermore, using a flux-rope eruption model, we drive realistic CME events within our M-dwarf simulation. We consider eruptions with different energies to probe the regimes of weak and partial CME magnetic confinement. While these CMEs are able to generate shocks in the corona, those are pushed much farther out compared to their solar counterparts. This drastically reduces the resulting type II radio burst frequencies down to the ionospheric cutoff, which impedes their detection with ground-based instrumentation.

Ultra-long-duration gamma-ray burst GRB 111209A was found to be associated with a very luminous supernovae (SNe) SN 2011kl. The physics of GRB 111209A/SN 2011kl has been extensively studied in the literature, but such research has not yet settled down. By investigating in detail the characteristics of the X-ray light curve of GRB 111209A, coupled with the temporal and spectral features observed in SN 2011kl, we argue that a short-lived supramassive magnetar could be responsible for the initial shallow X-ray emission. Then the electromagnetic extraction of spin energy from a black hole (BH) results in the steeply declining X-ray flux when the magnetar collapses into a BH. A fraction of the envelope materials falls back and activates the accretion onto the newborn BH, which produces the X-ray rebrightening bump at late times. During this process, a centrifugally driven baryon-rich quasi-isotropic Blandford & Payne outflow from the revived accretion disk deposits its kinetic energy on the SN ejecta, which powers luminous SN 2011kl. Finally, we place a limitation on the magnetar’s physical parameters based on the observations.

We report on the first simultaneous Neutron Star Interior Composition Explore (NICER) and Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) observations of the neutron star (NS) low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1735−44, obtained in 2018 August. The source was at a luminosity of ∼1.8 (D/5.6 kpc)2 × 1037 erg s−1 in the 0.4–30 keV band. We account for the continuum emission with two different continuum descriptions that have been used to model the source previously. Despite the choice in continuum model, the combined passband reveals a broad Fe K line indicative of reflection in the spectrum. In order to account for the reflection spectrum we utilize a modified version of the reflection model relxill that is tailored for thermal emission from accreting NSs. Alternatively, we also use the reflection convolution model of rfxconv to model the reflected emission that would arise from a Comptonized thermal component for comparison. We determine that the innermost region of the accretion disk extends close to the innermost stable circular orbit (R
ISCO) at the 90% confidence level regardless of reflection model. Moreover, the current flux calibration of NICER is within 5% of the NuSTAR/FPMA(B).
Detection of PAH Absorption and Determination of the Mid-infrared Diffuse Interstellar Extinction Curve from the Sight Line toward Cyg OB2-12

The sight line toward the luminous blue hypergiant Cyg OB2-12 is widely used to study interstellar dust on account of its large extinction (A

V
 ≃ 10 mag) and the fact that this extinction appears to be dominated by dust typical of the diffuse interstellar medium. We present a new analysis of archival Infrared Space Observatory Short Wavelength Spectrometer and Spitzer IRS observations of Cyg OB2-12 using a model of the emission from the star and its stellar wind to determine the total extinction A

λ
from 2.4 to 37 μm. In addition to the prominent 9.7 and 18 μm silicate features, we robustly detect absorption features associated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, including the first identification of the 7.7 μm feature in absorption. The 3.3 μm aromatic feature is found to be much broader in absorption than is typically seen in emission. The 3.4 and 6.85 μm aliphatic hydrocarbon features are observed with relative strengths that are consistent with observations of these features on sight lines toward the Galactic center. We identify and characterize more than 60 spectral lines in this wavelength range, which may be useful in constraining models of the star and its stellar wind. Based on this analysis, we present an extinction curve

that extrapolates smoothly to determinations of the mean Galactic extinction curve at shorter wavelengths and to dust opacities inferred from emission at longer wavelengths, providing a new constraint on models of interstellar dust in the mid-infrared.

We examine a strong, coherent, highly impulsive acoustic transient radiated into the solar interior by the flare SOL20110730T02:04-M9.3. The acoustic spectrum of this transient extends out to 10 mHz. The fine diffraction limit of this high-frequency component of the flare acoustic transient allows us to discriminate different source components in operation during the flare. Acoustic-source power density maps of the 10 mHz component show sources that are compact to within the now 760 km diffraction limit of local helioseismic diagnostics for this frequency. One of the acoustic sources found is bifurcated across a sharp penumbral magnetic boundary, the component in the stronger magnetic field temporally lagging its partner. The facility to discriminate this level of acoustic-source detail could open the door to a long sought after understanding of the mechanics of transient emission from solar flares, still a mystery two decades after its discovery. It also suggests that helioseismic observations of higher cadence and spatial resolution could reveal coherent acoustic emission at even higher frequencies, with proportionately further potential benefits to solar seismology and its growing domain of applications.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the causes and patterns of extraction of permanent teeth in the targeted population.
METHODS: The study was conducted for a period of 11 months. An especially designed form was used to record the causes for extraction of a permanent tooth. Further, it was analyzed for age, gender, education, occupation, smoking, tooth position, endodontic treatment, chewing, esthetics, needs replacement, type of existing prosthesis, and causes for extraction. The various causes which were considered to determine association with the tooth extraction were dental caries, periodontal problems, trauma, orthodontics, prosthodontic failures, endodontic failures, and others.
RESULTS: The percentage of extractions was almost the same in males and females aged. Maximum extractions were noticed in 36â€“45 years of age group (32.5%). The presence of caries was observed to be the main reason for extraction (68.1%), followed by periodontal problems (17.6%) and orthodontic problems (4.8%). The most frequently extracted posterior teeth were first mandibular molar (22.2%), followed by the third maxillary molar (15.2%).
CONCLUSION: Dental caries was found to be the most common reason for the extraction of teeth. Molar teeth were found to be the most frequently extracted, with an increased number of extracted first premolars as a result of orthodontic treatment. Maxillary teeth are extracted more than mandibular, mainly due to caries and periodontal problems.

INTRODUCTION: Dadiah is a fermented buffalo milk product containing many potential lactic acid bacteria as probiotics. Lactic acid bacteria and their derivative products can prevent the onset of various diseases such as spur health and heart work, good food to increase stamina and endurance, prevent colorectal cancer, and improve intestinal microflora.
AIM: This study aims to determine the influence of probiotic on dadiah as fermented buffalo milk products for breastfeeding women with normal bacterial flora of the gastrointestinal tract.
METHODS: The study was conducted on 28 breastfeeding mothers who were divided into two groups with the same proportion, i.e., mothers who received dadiah ice cream and not. Interventions were performed for 1 month and analysis was performed on an infant’s feces. DNA isolated from feces and Lactobacillus plantarum concentrations were analyzed using real-time polymerase chain reaction. The standard curve designed to get the concentration of bacteria appropriately. Data analysis used SPSS version 20.0. Numerical data were analyzed by used unpaired t-test and paired t-test. A p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
RESULTS: The results showed that the mean intestinal microflora from the infant before the dadiah ice cream given was 4.2 × 107 CFU/g and after the dadiah ice cream was 8.6 × 108 CFU/g (p < 0.05) while in the control group, the mean L. plantarum intestinal infants before administered whey ice cream is 2.6 × 107 CFU/g and thereafter 1.3 × 107 CFU/g (p > 0.05).
CONCLUSION: Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that there is an increase in L. plantarum concentration after the provision of dadiah ice cream in breastfeeding mothers.

BACKGROUND: Dyslipidemia is one of the main risk factors of cardiovascular disease in people with diabetes. The principle of diabetes prevention and control is based on patient self-care and education. The Islamic self-care nutrition method is a common and successful way to modify behavior in Islamic ethics and mysticism.
AIM: The study aimed to determine the effect of the Islamic self-care nutrition method on the lipid profile of patients with type 2 diabetes.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The present clinical trial was conducted in 2014 on 98 middle-aged patients with type 2 diabetes referred to the Diabetes Center of the Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences, Sari, Iran, who were randomly allocated into two groups of experimental and control. Lipid indices were measured before intervention, and the same education about diabetic healthy diet was provided in both groups. In addition, in the experimental group, Islamic teachings and the Islamic self-care method of nutrition were taught with the intention of pleasing God. Data were analyzed with SPSS 22 software using independent and paired t-test, Chi-square, Fisher’s exact, and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA).
RESULTS: After adjusting for the effect of confounding variables with ANCOVA, significant improvement was observed in triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein indices in the experimental group after intervention compared to the control group. Two-proportion z-test results showed a significant increase in the use of lipid-lowering drugs in the control group compared with the experimental group after intervention.
CONCLUSION: The Islamic self-care nutrition method could be used to control chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes affected by behavioral factors.
Comparison of Thyroid -Stimulating Hormone and Free Thyroxine Immunoassays Performed on Immulite 2000 and Maglumi 800 Automated Analyzers
Authors: Kuzmanovska Sonja , Miladinova Daniela
Published: May 2020

OBJECTIVE: Our goal was to evaluate the analytical performance of the novel immunoassay platform and to compare the agreement between thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and FT4 results, obtained by novel and currently used platform.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Both immunoassay platforms, current Immulite 2000 and novel Maglumi 800, are based on chemiluminecsence immunoassay method. Analytical performance was evaluated by the use of serum pools and commercial quality control samples. The comparison study was carried out with 80 serum samples. Obtained results were analyzed by descriptive statistics, Mann–Whitney U-test, and Paired t-test. Method comparison was performed with Passing-Bablok regression analysis and Bland-Altman plots.
RESULTS: TSH Maglumi 800 showed better within-run precision for both concentration ranges (1.7–2.8 CV%) in comparison to Immulite 2000 (4.4–5.7 CV%). FT4 Maglumi 800 imprecision was higher compared with Immulite 2000 FT4 in both within-run (3.5–3.9 CV% vs. 4.9–6.6 CV%) and between-run (3.6–4.2 CV% vs. 4.6–5.9 CV%) tests. Mann–Whitney U-test for TSH revealed non-significant difference between data (p = 0.9011). Regression analysis showed no systematic (intercept = 0.01), nor proportional (slope = 0.9781) differences. Non-significant bias was observed in Bland-Altman Plots. For FT4, we found significant differences between methods using paired t-test (t39 = 10.5, p < 0.0001) and significant difference (p = 0.00745) with Mann–Whitney U-test. Bland-Altman plot revealed 22.8% average bias.
CONCLUSION: TSH evaluation showed good precision and close agreement between Maglumi 800 and Immulite 2000 methods, which assures transferability of results. However, FT4 performance evaluation revealed higher imprecision of Maglumi 800 platform and significant differences of test results.
