Published: November 2020

The phytochemical and biological properties of tangerine (Citrus reticulata L.), grapefruit (Citrus paradisi L.), lemon (Citrus lemon L.) and cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume) essential oils were examined. The chemical composition of the essential oils determined using chromatography analysis revealed that D-limonene and cis-cinnamaldehyde were the main components. The antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of the essential oils have been studied by the DPPH radical-scavenging assay and the disc-diffusion method, respectively. All essential oils had antimicrobial activity against saprophytic (Bacillus subtilis, Penicillium chrysogenum, Fusarium moniliforme, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and pathogenic microorganisms (Escherichia coli, Salmonella abony, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans), with the highest inhibitory activity being observed in cinnamon oil, followed by grapefruit zest oil, tangerine zest oil and lemon zest oil; the MIC ranging from 6 to 60 ppm. In addition, they exhibited high antioxidant activity with the highest antioxidant activity being determined for the grapefruit zest essential oil, followed by the lemon zest essential oil, the tangerine zest essential oil and the cinnamon essential oil. The demonstrated promising results for the antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of the studied essential oils would give reason for their inclusion in the development of bio-preservation strategies for food emulsion preservation.

A number of organic dye compounds is developed and used as dye-sensitized solar cells in order to produce cost-effective devices and enhance cell performance. In this aspect, phenothiazine based organic dye compounds such as (E)-3-(7-bromo-10-phenyl-10H-phenothiazine-3-yl) acrylic acid and (E)-3-(7-bromo-10-phenyl-10H-phenothiazine-3-yl)-2-cyanoacrylic acid have been synthesized. The synthesized dye compounds have been characterized through Fourier-transform infrared, Fourier-transform Raman and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic method. The Ultraviolet–Visible spectra were recorded and electronic features were discussed with the theoretically calculated bands using time-dependent density functional theory. Frontier molecular orbital, natural bond orbital and non-linear optical properties have been calculated for these compounds using density functional theory. The photosensitization properties such as light harvesting efficiency and electron injection driving force (∆G
inject) have also been discussed.
Simple metathesis in loanword phonology: the Arabic-Romance language contact
Authors: Kiegel-Keicher Yvonne
Published: November 2020

Simple metathesis can be found in numerous Ibero-Romance arabisms compared with their Andalusi Arabic etyma. The analysis of a corpus of Spanish, Portuguese and Catalan arabisms illustrates its effects on syllable structure and syllable weight. It can be shown that Arabic-Romance simple metathesis constitutes a motivated structural change that provides for typologically unmarked syllable weight relations within the word. After the resyllabification it entails the involved unstressed syllables no longer excede the stressed syllable in weight. However, it is not an obligatory, systematic process, but merely an optional tendency, which corresponds to the universal tendency expressed by the Weight Law.
Accezioni e trafila dell’it. ant. o(b)stare
Authors: Mastrantonio Davide
Published: November 2020

It. ostare ‘obstruct, hinder’ is considered a borrowing from Lat. obstare. However, some Old Italian occurrences bear the meaning ‘take off, remove’, which is far from the Latin sense. After an introductory section (§1), in which methodological problems are discussed, the article analyses the occurrences of o(b)stare derived from the OVI databases (§2), containing Old Italian texts. A final section focusses on the origin of the verb and its meanings (§3).
From Racial Types to Aboriginal Clines
Authors: Anderson Warwick
Published: November 2020

The mid-twentieth century Australian fieldwork of Joseph B. Birdsell illustrates, perhaps uniquely, the transition from typological structuring in physical anthropology before World War II to human biology’s increasing interest in the geographical or clinal patterning of genes and commitment to notions of drift and selection. It also shows that some morphological inquiries lingered into the postwar period, as did an attachment to theories of racial migration and hybridization. Birdsell’s intensive and long-term fieldwork among Aboriginal Australians eventually led him to criticize the settler colonialism and white racism that had made possible his expeditions and data collection. Yet he continued to regard Aboriginal communities as “island laboratories” and to treat Aboriginal people as convenient research subjects, distancing himself from their life worlds and experiences of dispossession and exploitation.

Desafíos de la conciliación en el marco del Estado social de derecho
Authors: Mejía García Glendy Johanna , Rodríguez Torres Dénix Alberto
Published: November 2020

A partir de la Constitución Política de 1991, Colombia promovió que sus habitantes asumieran un rol activo dentro del Estado, con el fin de proteger los pilares esenciales y sus fines que se consolidan a través de actos solidarios de las personas para promover la convivencia pacífica, el bien común, el orden justo, el respeto a la dignidad humana, la diversidad y el pluralismo.No obstante lo anterior, los mecanismos de resolución de conflictos aún no son usados como herramientas para la construcción de paz y la participación ciudadana en la gestión consensuada de conflictos en el territorio nacional, sino como estrategias propias originadas de reformas legales para disminuir las cifras de congestión judicial.La conciliación es utilizada como un medio complementario de resolución de conflictos y no como un método eficaz que coadyuve a la transformación de resolución de conflictos, por eso, mientras se siga fortaleciendo estos mecanismos desde una óptica limitada al ejercicio legal va a incidir en la consolidación de la cultura de litigio como respuesta que garantiza la protección de los bienes jurídicos establecidos en el ordenamiento jurídico.
Generalization of the mode-matching technique to the problems of scattering by semi-infinite slow-wave structures

Published: November 2020

Subject and purpose. The scattering matrix of a semi-infinite slow-wave structure formed by grooves in a rectangular waveguide is investigated. The purpose was to develop a method for calculating a semi-infinite periodic structure. Methods and methodology. A generalization of the mode-matching technique to semi-infinite periodic structures is built. The fields of the periodic part of the structure are expanded in series of the eigenmodes of the periodic structure, taking into account the condition at infinity, which makes it possible to obtain a linear matrix equation for finding the scattering matrix. Only the propagating modes of the periodic structure were considered. To make these expansions reliable the fields were matched at a period somewhat distant from the junction of the regular waveguide with the periodic one. Results. Matrix equations for determining the blocks of the scattering matrix of a semi-infinite structure are obtained. A number of investigations are carried out to check the reliability of the equations obtained. These include test of convergence, reciprocity, energy balance, and conservation of the scattering matrix while adding one period to a semi-infinite structure. The main confirmation was obtained by comparing the scattering matrix of a finite fragment of the slow-wave structure, obtained in two ways: through the scattering matrices of semi-infinite slow-wave structure and through a cascade assembly of the scattering matrices of the waveguide elements that make up the structure. Conclusions. An algorithm for calculating the scattering matrix of a semi-infinite structure is obtained. It can be used to build a rigorous hot model of vacuum electronics devices using slow-wave structures.

Subjetividades de precariedad en trabajadores agrícolas de la caña de azúcar en el área geográfica del valle del río Cauca, Colombia: análisis desde la Gubernamentalidad
Authors: Bedoya Dorado Cristian , Maca Urbano Deidi
Published: November 2020

El presente estudio analiza la producción de subjetividades de precariedad de traba­jadores agrícolas de la caña de azúcar. Para ello, se realizó un estudio empírico bajo un diseño etnográfico multilocal y documental, en el que se entrevistaron 32 participantes y se recolectaron notas de campo. La discusión de los resultados se abordó desde los estudios de la gubernamenta­lidad para analizar el modo en que la conducción de conductas despliega experiencias y formas de pensar, sentir y comportarse. Se encuentra que, si bien la precariedad en el trabajo y la vida se ha naturalizado, los trabajadores jerarquizan esta experiencia a través de posicionamientos de género, edad y vínculo laboral. En estos procesos de subjetivación, la precariedad asociada a la vulnera­bilidad es recreada a partir del modo en que se ensambla la experiencia con la temporalidad, los objetos materiales e inmateriales, los humanos y no humanos; y se caracteriza por la ambivalencia con la cual es significada y vivida. Asimismo, la condición precaria es construida como repertorio identitario y asumida como destino para los sujetos, y se produce en el marco de las lógicas neoli­berales que definieron tecnologías de gobierno materializadas en reformas labora.
Primary Partial Empty Sella presenting with Prepubertal Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism: A Case Report
Authors:   Ospital ng Makati, Makati City, Philippines, Matabang Maria Angela , Sapang Buena
Published: November 2020

Primary partial empty sella occurs when less than 50% of an enlarged or deformed sella turcica is filled with cerebrospinal fluid in the setting of unidentified etiologic pathological conditions. Prepubertal hypogonadotropic hypogonadism presenting as its main manifestation is rare since its peak incidence commonly occurs late at 30 to 40 years of age and has a sexual predilection for female. We described a case of 20-year-old male who presented with micropenis and absent secondary sex characteristics. Work up showed cranial MRI finding of partial empty sella, low testosterone, LH, FSH, Estradiol and Beta HCG levels. Sex hormone replacement may not improve fertility for this case but may help produce and maintain virilization and prevent future complications of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.

Myxedema coma is associated with decreased mental status and hyponatremia among patients with diagnosed or undiagnosed hypothyroidism. The diagnosis is challenging in the absence of universally accepted diagnostic criteria, but should be considered as a differential even in cases with competing established diagnoses. All patients should receive intensive care level treatment. Even with optimal treatment, mortality is very high.
Il teatro delle e per le monache (Napoli, secolo XVIII)
Authors:   Università degli Studi del Molise, Chavarria Elisa Novi
Published: November 2020

Recent studies have focused on the musical environment and the theatre in female monasteries of many Italian cities between the 16th and 18th centuries. These art forms became famous as forms of entertainment in travel literature and in the chronicles of the time but were forbidden in the age of the Counter-Reformation. However, the theatrical performances, both in prose and in music, enjoyed enormous success and spread in male and female monasteries. As of the 17th century, if not even earlier, travellers from half of Europe arrived in Naples, attracted by the excellence of the musical and theatrical performances that they could enjoy in the monasteries of the city. This essay aims to reconstruct the times, the modalities, and the contents of the theatrical offerings in the female monasteries of Naples at the beginning of the 18th century, all of which are still unknown today. In particular, the case of the Franciscan monastery of St Chiara will be examined. Through the patronage of Queen Maria Amalia, musical and theatrical performances played an active leading role in the configuration of a specific theatrical type and taste and increased the education of the nuns and young women who were educated in the monastery, representing and legitimising new feelings and sensibilities. The religious women found a way to talk of their feelings and concerns together; they forged relationships even with the environments outside of the monastery and especially with the Queen’s court and with the courts of the aristocratic palaces of their families of origin.
Donne “compositrici” di balli pantomimi in Italia fra Sette e Ottocento
Authors:   Università degli Studi di Roma “La Sapienza”, Corea Annamaria
Published: November 2020

This paper describes some aspects of the lives and artistic activities of Anna Binetti, Maria De Caro, and Giovanna Campilli, “prima ballerinas” who lived between the second half of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century. This research aims to highlight how these personalities practised as choreographers at a time when this profession was principally a male prerogative. Through the analysis of ballet programmes and contemporary sources, this paper investigates an area that has been little explored in the studies of the history of dance that is, the female presence as an “artistic subject” in the theatre of Italian dance. Thus, this phenomenon is contextualised in the broader cultural landscape of the time and focuses on three case studies of women choreographers who, whilst isolated in their extraordinariness, often converged significantly in their performance venues, in particular in Venice and Naples, and in personalities such as Jean-Georges Noverre and Maria Carolina of Austria. What is most interesting is that this approach highlights possible relationship networks and, thus, may open new avenues of research.
Attrici d’avanguardia e teatro femminista a Roma negli anni Settanta: nuovi luoghi e linguaggi
Authors:   Progetto ORMETE, Borelli Maia Giacobbe
Published: November 2020

This essay is based on one of the ORMETE (Oralità Memoria Teatro: www.ormete.net) projects: Donne di teatro a Roma ai tempi della mobilitazione femminista (1965-1985). The research shows the inter-relations between the feminist movement and the actresses of the avant-garde scene in Rome. The focus of each of the women’s personal narrations is characterised by its strong and definite feminist or anti-conformist identity and by its determination to channel its own imagery in the experimental scene of the avant-garde. Many of the women gathered in feminist companies or joined collective groups; some ventured the road of dramaturgy, while still others dared more alternative, experimental kinds of solo performances. This text sheds light on a variety of alternative spaces for performances in Rome. It is there where these new forms of theatrical expressions were born.
Digital Humanities: alcuni tratti caratteristici
Authors:   Università del Piemonte Orientale “A. Avogadro”, Ferrari Giacomo
Published: November 2020

Rather than reporting on original research, this paper seeks to define the complex and rather diffuse domain of digital humanities by examining the historical and technological origins of the discipline. The distinction between the practice of the computer-mediated storage and retrieval of data relevant to human artefacts and the creative building of ‘digital culture’ draws a rough dividing line across the objectives of digital humanists. A historical outline of the distant origins of digital humanities suggests that the discipline is foundationally and intrinsically linked to computational linguistics and the development of linguistic resources. The boundaries of the discipline have been shifting concomitantly with the broadening of the scientific horizon and the evolution of dedicated technologies. Text mark-up (stemming from text annotation) and the multimodal facilities offered by ordinary browsers are the two basic techniques which have promoted the progressive development and expansion of digital humanities. These two techniques are closely interconnected as the language operated by the http protocol (HyperText Transfer Protocol) derives from the same source as that used for text mark-up. Hypertext and multimodality allow extending the uses of the computer to store and access humanities data of various kinds, including images, videos and sound recordings. Finally, the declaration of entities, as a further development of mark-up, makes it possible to apply semantic web techniques to carry out advanced research studies. The field of creative digital culture is very large, and there are abundant software applications that support such creative pursuits. Consequently, several forms of art have largely profited from technological advancement. Given this, the paper also addresses technological obsolescence as a serious problem in digital humanities.
L’annotazione di testi storico-letterari al tempo dei social media

Published: November 2020

The annotation of historical and literary texts is approached differently by traditional philologists and digital philologists. The former are concentrated on the detailed study of a given text (close reading) while the latter are focused on the study of large quantities of texts (distant reading). A structured and collaborative annotation makes it possible both to add information to particular passages of individual texts, as in a traditional linear comment, and to connect data from entire textual collections through rigorous protocols. However, the standards developed by digital philologists are not highly appreciated by traditional academics, since the effort necessary to apply the proposed technologies allegedly diverts researchers’ attention from the object of study. As opposed to this objection, we intend to highlight that it is indeed possible to maintain the precision requisite for the application of computational tools to digital resources without renouncing the annotation practices established in traditional contexts. In support of the method, we report a number of case studies of digital scientific editions whose goals include both reconstructing respective texts and encouraging the dissemination of contents and public participation in the academic debate. In particular, we will discuss the following projects: a) the stylistic annotation of three different editions of Giacomo Leopardi’s translation of the Batracomiomachia; b) the scientific edition of Bellini’s letters; c) the multi-level annotated edition of Bassani; and d) the comparison of Umberto Eco’s variants of his Il nome della rosa.
Corpus di letteratura come corpus di lingua: il caso del Medioevo
Authors:   Opera del Vocabolario Italiano-CNR, Vaccaro Giulio
Published: November 2020

The implementation of a corpus of a historically determined variety of a language poses very relevant methodological problems. The principle one: is it possible to create a corpus actually representative of a linguistic variety of which we do not know, nor can we know, the extension, and in which the weight of literary texts necessarily is more conspicuous than in a real language? The answer from the point of view of corpus linguistics is certainly negative. But numerous tools are available today (first of all the Corpus TLIO and the Corpus OVI dell’Italiano antico) that would seem to show the opposite. Starting from the OVI experience, some methodological reflections on the creation of corpus of historical varieties of language will be proposed, showing how, although it is impossible to apply criteria of balance and representativeness stricto sensu, a series of corrections can be applied (in in particular by selecting the texts on the basis of the discursive traditions) which allow to have tools that effectively meet the needs of linguistic research.

Resumo A previsão de vazão é uma das mais importantes informações na programação da geração de energia hidroelétrica e no planejamento de curto a longo prazo. A previsão de vazão é mais relevante em cenários de escassez hídrica, quando há redução da geração hidroelétrica e aumento da produção por usinas termelétricas para garantir outros usos da água nessas condições. Prever e prognosticar a precipitação por meio de modelos estocásticos e determinísticos é essencial mesmo com as limitações inerentes à complexidade fenomenológica atmosférica. Estabelecer diretriz com base em tais modelos fundamentados em variáveis hidrometeorológicas (e.g., séries de precipitação) e fenômenos climáticos podem reduzir erros e melhorar a operação de reservatórios. O Operador Nacional do Sistema (ONS) e agentes de geração podem decidir com menos riscos operacionais, otimizar os recursos energéticos, minimizar custos para o consumidor e suprir energia elétrica mesmo em períodos de escassez hídrica. Assim, este trabalho apresenta um sistema de monitoramento e previsão de precipitação nas bacias hidrográficas da CESP para melhorar as estimativas de vazão afluentes aos seus reservatórios. A previsão de chuva com até cinco dias de antecedência foi realizada com o sistema ARPS. As estimativas, medições e simulações de chuva obtidas foram utilizadas em simulações de vazão afluente nas bacias da CESP com o modelo SMAP para verificação. Os resultados sugerem melhoria de desempenho por meio da integração de dados e previsão de precipitação com o sistema ARPS.

Resumo As evidências de que ocorrerão mudanças climáticas globais em função do aumento da concentração de gases de efeito estufa têm se apresentado cada vez mais consistentemente e aceitas pela comunidade científica internacional. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar estimativas de alterações climáticas na microrregião de Guarapuava no estado do Paraná, analisando os impactos sobre a cultura do trigo, utilizando modelagem para cenários futuros e comparando com um cenário base do passado. Foram ajustados modelos de adequação matemática utilizando Análise de Múltiplos Critérios (MCA) e Processo de Hierarquia Analítica (AHP), com a finalidade de avaliar os possíveis impactos das mudanças climáticas na cultura de trigo, utilizando os cenários climáticos RCP4.5 e RCP8.5 (IPCC) para o cálculo do índice de aptidão agrícola da cultura na microrregião de Guarapuava-PR. Os resultados indicam que o fator de maior impacto para a redução do índice de aptidão agrícola do trigo nos próximos 30 anos, é a projeção de aumento da temperatura média mensal em aproximadamente 1,5 a 2 °C durante o ciclo de desenvolvimento da cultura no campo.
BEHAVIORAL FINANCE: EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE USING MAGIC FORMULA IN THE BRAZILIAN STOCK MARKET
Authors: DIMARZIO FREDERICO , MATIAS FILHO JOSE , FERNANDES RICARDO A.
Published: November 2020

ABSTRACT Purpose: Explain the causes of inefficiencies in asset pricing on the Brazilian stock exchange through the behavioral finance hypothesis. Originality/value: Research made in the stock market over the last decades suggests that there is evidence of obtaining returns above the market average, through the purchase of undervalued assets, that is, when it has a low relation between the price and the fundamentals of the company. However, there is a notable discrepancy regarding the interpretation of causes among academics. The efficient markets hypothesis was presented, which is based on the premise of the strict rationality of economic agents. On the other hand, the behavioral finance theory was also discussed, which presents different assumptions. Design/methodology/approach: Using the historical quotes of the shares traded on B3, extracted from economática(r)'s database, the present work used the Magic Formula methodology to investigate the behavioral effect through the inefficiencies found in the pricing of these assets. Findings: The results suggest that the Brazilian stock market, in conformity with works of the same nature performed in markets in other countries, has inefficiencies in the pricing of assets, so that it is possible to obtain advantages from economic agents. The interpretation for the causes of such inefficiencies is based on the premises of behavioral finance, and points to the existence of a limitation in the rationalization of these agents.

Published: November 2020

ABSTRACT The consumption of flour and oil of ‘baru’ (Dipteryx alata Vogel) has increased due to its nutritional characteristics; however, there are few studies on the processing of the flour of this almond. The aim of this research was to study the drying kinetics of the whole and partially defatted flours of ‘baru’ almond, the residue of the oil extraction, as well as its thermodynamic properties. The whole flour was obtained by the grinding of seeds and the partially defatted flour by chemical extraction. The products were dried with forced air circulation oven at 60, 70 and 80 °C. Ten models, commonly used for drying, were selected for fitting. Based on statistical criteria, the Midilli model was selected to represent the drying kinetics of ‘baru’ almond flour. The difference in the drying rate between the flours tended to attenuate with the elevation of the temperature. Activation energy was 39.24 kJ mol-1 for the whole flour and 29.01 kJ mol-1 for partially defatted flour. Enthalpy and entropy decreased with increasing temperature, whereas Gibbs free energy increased. For the flour with highest oil concentration, the thermodynamic properties were higher than for the one with lowest oil concentration.

Published: November 2020

ABSTRACT This study aimed to establish mathematical models that predict the performance of helical fertilizer metering according to the longitudinal and transverse inclinations, angular speed, and helical pitch. Laboratory tests were carried out with helical meterings with lateral and longitudinal discharge through overflow and with two helicoids, working at an angular speed of 16 and 46 rpm at the following longitudinal inclination angles: -20, -15, -10, -5, 0, +5, +10, +15, and +20° and on the transverse axis: -15, -10, -5, 0, +5, +10, and +15°. It was found that the variation of the transverse inclination has little effect on the dosage. When using fertilizer metering with a helicoid, the higher the longitudinal inclination, the greater the dosage in a linear manner, while the meterings with two helicoids provided less oscillation of the dosages according to the inclinations.

Published: November 2020

ABSTRACT Adequate soil managements and use of agricultural machinery are essential for the economic viability of these practices and for the environmental preservation. In this context, sowing and fertilizer application practices are the most important activities, since they affect crop development and present high energy demand. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the energy demand of a tractor-planter-fertilizer unit for the sowing of common bean seeds in no-tillage system as a function of three soil water contents (28.7, 36.4, and 47.6%) and three soil fertilizer placement depths (0.06; 0.11 and 0.15 m). The final common bean grain yield was also evaluated. The lowest energy demand was found for the highest soil water content combined with the lowest soil fertilizer placement depth. The highest common bean grain yield was found for plants under soil water content of 36.4% and fertilizer placement depth of 0.11 m, reaching 4,186 kg ha-1.

Resumo O artigo aborda a vulnerabilidade como lugar de problema para se analisar a condição da mulher mãe no debate midiático sobre o parto. Reflete-se sobre a inscrição das mulheres mães e de suas condições de vulnerabilidade nos enquadramentos midiáticos: ora como corpos submetidos ao paternalismo médico e à normatização sexista que culminam nos casos de violência obstétrica; ora como indivíduos capazes de reagir às práticas e normas destinadas à domesticação do corpo da mulher. A vulnerabilidade assume um lugar político decisivo, mas também ambíguo, entre a relacionalidade dos corpos e a reificação da vítima.

ABSTRACT Objective: to understand the strengths and limits in the daily life of the adherence to rehabilitation of people with spinal cord injury and their families. Method: an interpretive study of a qualitative nature, based on Comprehensive and Everyday Life Sociology, involving 21 participants, 12 individuals with spinal cord injury and 9 family members, in a Specialized Rehabilitation Center in southern Brazil. The sources of evidence were individual and collective interviews, adopting the strategy of workshops for data validation. The Atlas.ti software was used for data collation and organization. Data analysis involved the following stages: preliminary analysis, ordering, key links, coding, and categorization. Results: the following categories and subcategories were found: Strengths in the adherence to rehabilitation - welcoming and walking side by side; rehabilitation: a return to life; coexistence that brings the family together, as well as practicing faith. Limits on the adherence to rehabilitation - (d)efficiency of the health professionals in health care. Conclusion: rehabilitation was evidenced as a possibility of returning to life, which enables coexistence among equals and stimulates self-care and adaptation. The family rescues the desire to live, and faith is a mechanism of hope and optimism. It is noteworthy that the welcoming deficit in Primary Health Care and the scarcity of rehabilitation care services in the hospital determine the onset of avoidable complications, in addition to the lack of guidance and/or referrals, characterizing a gap in the Referral and Counter-Referral System.

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the safety culture in surgical units of a teaching hospital in different periods of hospital management. Method: this is a descriptive and analytical study developed with health professionals working at a surgical center and at five surgical inpatient units in two different periods of hospital management in southern Brazil. The Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture questionnaire was answered by 73 professionals in period I (2014/2015) and by 158 professionals in period II (2017). The analysis was based on descriptive statistics and on inferential analysis and reliability analysis using Cronbach's alpha coefficient; the dimensions were considered strong when the percentage of positive answers was ≥75%. Results: the administrative transition had a positive influence on the “Staffing” and “Handoffs and transitions” dimensions and a negative influence on “Teamwork within units” (p<0.001), with no difference in the remaining nine dimensions. In both periods, no dimension was considered strong; there were no changes with regard to the notification of adverse events and to the overall safety assessment; and the overall reliability of the instrument was satisfactory (0.89). Conclusion: the administrative transition of hospital management had little impact on the dimensions of the organizational safety culture, and there are still challenges in the progressive development of this predictor of patient safety.

ABSTRACT Objective: to identify potential risks to patient safety during the transfer of pre-hospital care. Method: a descriptive-exploratory study, with a qualitative approach. Data collection occurred between April and June 2018, with non-participant observation and semi-structured interview, in a Mobile Emergency Care Service in the Southern Brazil. Twenty-eight professionals were interviewed, including nursing technicians/auxiliaries, nurses and physicians, and 135 hours of care were observed. The data were submitted to thematic analysis. Results: two interrelated categories emerged a) Stakeholders in patient and team safety; and b) The (inter) personal/professional dimension of the transfer of care. The study's findings showed that, in addition to the inherent vulnerabilities to traffic and urban violence, patients are exposed to circumstances that include potential risks related to falling on stretchers, medication errors and clinical judgment. The vertical communication by hierarchies, influenced by personal and emotional factors of each professional, generated implications for the continuity of care. Conclusion: given the potential risks to patient safety at the time of transfers of pre-hospital care, one should invest in effective communication strategies, as well as in forms of interpersonal relationships and links between services in the emergency network.

ABSTRACT Objective: to identify the risk factors in medication errors in a high-complexity chilean public hospital. Method: a research study with a quantitative approach; an exploratory, descriptive and cross-sectional study, with retrospective temporal cuts. The study population consisted of 50 reports of adverse events related with the medication administration process generated between 2014 and 2017 in the Medical and Surgery services of the Magallanes Clinical Hospital, Chile. The classification of the National Coordinating Council for Medication Error Reporting and Prevention was used for data collecting, performed during May and June 2018, and the data were analyzed by means of descriptive statistics. Results: among those involved in the medication errors, the following professions are predominant: nurses, 21 (42%); Medical and Surgery nursing technicians, 18 (36%), and nursing technicians working in the Pharmacy, 7 (14%). The most frequent medication errors were the following: medication transcription, 16 (32%); preparation, 13 (26%); and administration, 11 (22%). The following risk factors stand out in the notified cases: communication and interpretation problems, 13 (26%); incorrect interpretation of the prescription at dispensation, 7 (14%); factors associated with work organization such as insufficient compliance with the priority safety practices, 11 (22%), and individual factors, 9 (18%). Conclusion: more information is required about medication errors to identify the risk factors and to establish strategies for their prevention; consequently, the notification of adverse events must be promoted as a preventive measure.

Published: November 2020

ABSTRACT Objective: to identify how nurses report adverse events; to know what elements influence adverse event reporting and which reporting strategies they suggest. Method: qualitative study with a convergent care research design, conducted in a critical patient unit of a private health center in the region of Magallanes, Chile. Thirteen nurses participate in the study, through interviews and a discussion group. Results: the nurses who report adverse events do so verbally and in writing to the nurse coordinator immediately. Failure to report adverse events is mainly due to lack of knowledge of the safety culture, fear of reprisals and punishment within the workplace. As adverse event reporting strategies, they suggest continuing education about the safety culture, raising awareness and trust in that error reporting will not be met with punishment and that the error will lead to an improvement plan that avoids committing the same error on another occasion, improving communication and leadership. Conclusion: although nurses report adverse events, they are concerned with punishment, indicating the need to review the patient safety culture at a critical care unit in the study context.

ABSTRACT Objective: to describe the experiences lived in clinical simulation by nursing students at the University of Magallanes, Punta Arenas, Chile, in relation to the use of clinical simulation as a learning methodology for the achievement of skills for nursing care. Method: the simulation by the students was carried out in 2017, while they attended the seventh and eighth semester of professional training. The study carried out was qualitative, exploratory descriptive, in which eight students participated using the semi-structured interview instrument applied during the second semester of 2018. Results: it was observed that the simulation experience was good and very good. It stands out that the main points of discussion for the participants were that the clinical simulation gave them tools that allowed them to acquire professional identity, empowerment of the professional role, clinical reasoning, professional practice and organization. On the other hand, it also allowed them to apply theoretical knowledge. Conclusion: although this experience allowed the students to acquire comprehensive skills, it also has the limitation that feelings of fear and anxiety emerge that may make it impossible to develop it.

ABSTRACT Objective: to identify the level of empowerment among the nurses from a hospital located in the south of Chile and verify its potential association with personal and professional characterization variables. Method: cross-sectional and descriptive study conducted with 117 nurses from a hospital in the south of Chile. Data were collected in 2018 using a personal and professional characterization form and the Spanish version of the Conditions of Work Effectiveness Questionnaire II. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: the means of the factors of the empowerment scale were: Opportunity (4.11±0.82); Information (3.81±0.90); Support (3.81±0.86), and Resources (3.13±0.97). Statistically significant differences were found between empowerment and having greater professional experience, working in the medical-surgical unit, having from 3 to 10 patients under responsibility, job satisfaction, and intention to quit their jobs. Conclusion: the nurses reported a positive perception of empowerment in their roles, especially concerning having opportunities to perform tasks that contribute to acquiring new knowledge and skills at work.
