El efecto de la preexposición alternada y en bloques a los estímulos en una tarea de identificación de estímulos visuales
Authors: Angulo Rocío , Alonso Gumersinda
Published: October 2020

Se presentan dos experimentos dirigidos a comprobar los efectos de preexposición a dos estímulos visuales similares sobre su diferenciación posterior en una tarea de identificación de un estímulo muestra mediante juicios de igual/diferente. El objetivo general del trabajo fue comprobar si la preexposición alterna a los estímulos podría facilitar la actuación de los participantes en dicha tarea en mayor medida que su preexposición en bloques separados de ensayos. El Experimento 1 encontró que la preexposición, en general, mejoró la habilidad de los participantes para diferenciar los estímulos preexpuestos en la tarea posterior. Aparentemente, el efecto de la preexposición alterna y en bloques fue similar. En el Experimento 2 se utilizaron estímulos más complejos y similares (con más elementos en común), encontrándose evidencia de que la preexposición alterna a los estímulos, pero no su preexposición en bloques separados de ensayos, pudo facilitar la actuación inicial de los participantes en la tarea. Se estima que los participantes que recibieron preexposiciones en bloque pudieron mejorar a lo largo de la tarea, igualando su actuación a la de los participantes que recibieron el programa de preexposición alterno. Se discuten las implicaciones que una posible interacción entre los efectos de preexposición y el aprendizaje que se produce en las tareas que se utilizan para valorarlos podría tener en la investigación del aprendizaje perceptivo.
Preocupación ambiental y conductas proambientales en jóvenes y adultos mayores
Authors: Favara Jésica Verónica , Moreno José Eduardo
Published: October 2020

En este artículo se exponen algunos de los resultados de un estudio que es parte de una investigación mayor que evalúa la preocupación ambiental, las conductas proambientales y el bienestar en jóvenes y adultos mayores de Buenos Aires, Argentina. El objetivo del mismo es describir los resultados obtenidos en la aplicación del instrumento de preocupación ambiental y el de conductas proambientales en jóvenes y adultos mayores, y comparar ambas muestras. Se observaron diferencias significativas entre ambos grupos las cuales se interpretan en relación al modelo de preocupación ambiental propuesto por Amérigo, Aragonés & García (2012) y adaptado a la población local (Cassullo, Caballero, Favara, Colombo & Rusca, 2015) que comprende cuatro dimensiones: apatía, antropocentrismo, conectividad y afinidad emocional. También se hallaron diferencias en relación a las conductas proambientales declaradas por los participantes observándose que los jóvenes apáticos son menos propensos a realizar conductas proambientales, mientras que los que presentan mayor interés presentarían mayor predilección por estas acciones. En cambio, en adultos mayores se observó que las conductas proambientales son predichas por la conexión emocional con la naturaleza y el interés por el medio que estos poseen. En los adultos mayores las variables excluidas por su bajo poder de predicción fueron Antropocentrismo y Apatía.

Authors: Farias Eliene De Sá , De Mattos Leonardo Bornacki
Published: October 2020

A volatilidade dos capitais externos é um risco para a estabilidade macroeconômica e financeira. Este estudo identifica e analisa os determinantes da volatilidade dos capitais externos para o Brasil e os Estados Unidos do primeiro trimestre de 1990 ao segundo trimestre de 2018. Depois de construir duas medidas de volatilidade para os capitais externos, estima-se os determinantes dessa volatilidade por meio do modelo VEC e DOLS. Os resultados sugerem que a volatilidade da entrada de capitais externos é superior para o Brasil, por outro lado, para a saída de capitais domésticos, se sobressai a volatilidade dos capitais dos EUA. Os principais resultados sustentam que algumas variáveis se destacam como influenciadoras da volatilidade dos capitais externos, quais sejam: o risco global, a inflação e o preço do petróleo. Conclui-se que as políticas ligadas à estabilidade financeira decorrentes de volatilidade de capitais podem se pautar por quais tipos de capitais apresentam efeitos mais danosos em termos de volatilidade.

Authors: Almeida Raphael Douglas dos Anjos , Monte Edson Zambon , Grassi Robson Antonio
Published: October 2020

O presente artigo tem como objetivo verificar a assertividade da teoria econômica neoschumpeteriana ao analisar empiricamente os impactos que o tamanho da firma e o esforço para inovar exercem sobre a receita líquida de vendas (RLV). Utilizando os dados da PINTEC para os anos 2008, 2011 e 2014, e o método de Mínimos Quadrados Ordinários, elaboraram-se seis análises cross section, duas para cada ano. Os modelos do Tipo 1 verificam o impacto do tamanho da firma (em termos de pessoas ocupadas) e dos gastos totais com inovação sobre a RLV e os modelos do Tipo 2 analisam os impactos do tamanho da firma e dos gastos com atividades internas de P&D sobre a RLV. Ao fim, os modelos propostos ratificaram a teoria economia e a produção literária mais recente sobre o tema, pois todas as variáveis selecionadas impactam positivamente a RLV ao longo dos anos estudados. Além disso, a pesquisa contribuiu para a ampliação da literatura acerca da inovação ao utilizar os dados mais recentes da PINTEC e demonstrar o impacto específico das atividades internas de P&D sobre a RLV.

Financial Structure: A Comparative Study between European Listed and Unlisted Companies
Authors: Intrisano Carmelo , Paola Micheli Anna , Maria Calce Anna
Published: October 2020

This paper aims to ascertain whether differences exist in the composition of the financial sources in listed and unlisted companies.

In detail, we conduct a differential analysis of the financial structure, measured as debt to equity ratio (D/E), comparing European listed companies to unlisted peers. Analysis cover the period 2015-2017. The main samples of listed and unlisted companies were grouped in nine sub samples representative of as many economic sectors: Healthcare, Consumer cyclical, Consumer non-cyclical, Energy, Industrials, Basic materials, Technology, Telecommunications and Utilities. We compared the average value of debt to equity ratio for listed and unlisted companies, for different sectors in order to verify if in listed companies the incidence of debt is lower than that for unlisted ones as stated from the majority literature. Then, we calculated the differences between means as “means of D/E for listed companies-means of D/E for unlisted companies” and we used the t-test to observe the statistical significance. Results showed that differences between means were significant at 1% level: so, averages D/E ratio were comparable and they appeared almost always greater for unlisted companies. This confirms that unlisted companies make greater use of debt capital.
The Online Experience of Luxury Consumers: Insight into Motives and Reservations
Authors: Halwani Lama
Published: October 2020

Several research efforts provide insight into the corporate online strategies of luxury brands. However, little research has focused on how consumers perceive the luxury online experience. This research aims to understand the underlying motivations and reservations towards online luxury purchase. The perceived online experience of luxury consumers is examined within the framework of the functional theory of attitudes, rooted in the work of Katz (1960) and Shavitt (1989). An exploratory approach yielded a typology of five motivations: independent browsing, personalized communication, accessibility, and convenience; and three reservations: purchase of unfamiliar brands, lack of spontaneity and uninspiring online retail environments. This research contributes a much needed consumer perspective of luxury online retail to the existing literature. The findings have resulted in a comprehensive understanding of the online shopping luxury experience. Theoretically, the findings support the functional theory of attitudes and the influence of both hedonic and utilitarian dimensions on the online luxury experience. More practically, this work shows that recognition of the underlying motivations and reservations of online luxury consumers informs marketers and brand managers on how to adapt their online presence and initiatives.

Avaliação por triangulação de métodos de um núcleo de gestão de leitos em um hospital público do Distrito Federal
Authors: Oliveira Bárbara De Paula , Bittencourt Roberto José
Published: October 2020

A gestão de leitos tem se mostrado como uma estratégia para gerir os leitos hospitalares de forma equânime e transparente (Brasil, 2017). O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar o grau de implantação do Núcleo de Gestão de Leitos de um Hospital Público do Distrito Federal através da análise de estrutura, processo e resultados e apresentar a percepção dos profissionais do núcleo em relação ao seu funcionamento. Os resultados mostram um grau de implementação incipiente (28,5%) com Taxas de Ocupação e Tempo Médio de Permanência abaixo do preconizado, um processo de trabalho sem desfecho comum, e a percepção dos profissionais de que não têm autonomia para tomar decisões referentes aos leitos. Este estudo de caso nos dá luz sobre como a gestão de leitos está acontecendo em um hospital público e permite refletir sobre as limitações que impedem que o trabalho seja executado em sua totalidade. Mesmo que haja profissionais comprometidos, é preciso considerar as esferas de poder que interferem na tomada de decisões e execução do trabalho.

Public Financing Support Options to Micro-Enterprises for Innovation
Authors: Beizitere Ilona , Brence Ieva , Sloka Biruta
Published: October 2020

Innovation related to the technological advances of entrepreneurship are essential in Industry 4.0. The availability of sufficient funding is one of the factors promoting innovations in companies. Therefore the issue of access to finance remains relevant. The study investigates the availability of public financial support for micro-enterprises - the largest enterprise category in Latvia (approximately 94%), focusing on those for whom the introduction of innovations is essential for their growth. In an ad hoc survey of companies registered in Latvia in nationally defined sectors, entrepreneurs disclosed their sources of funding over the three-year period: 2015-2017. Valid responses from 2511 companies, of them 1879 were micro-enterprises, revealed not only the diversity of their financial sources but also the reluctance of external financiers to support companies willing to innovate. Out of the micro-enterprises surveyed, which required new or additional funding during the three-year period in question, 21% stated that the goal of funding was “the development and introduction of new products or services”. Innovation as an important factor was stated by 28%  micro-enterprises. According to the data processed by SPSS, micro-enterprises still prefer internal financing (64%) among many sources, whereas only 11% of the respondents used public funding. The micro-enterprises, for which innovation is important, relied solely on internal finance (65%), while public support was used by 13%. Based on the results of the study of Latvian companies, the need to improve the availability of financing for micro-enterprises is highlighted by creating a targeted\external funding offer in the form of a financial instrument based on public finance support.

Authors: Lap Poon Tak
Published: October 2020

Drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) is defined as failure of two adequate trials of appropriately chosen and administered antiepileptic drugs. Approximately about 30% of epilepsy patients are drug resistant. Accountable reasons to treatment failure including failure to recognize epilepsy syndrome, poor drug compliance, lifestyle factors, etc. In modern era of medicine, DRE patient should be encouraged to have early referral to tertiary epilepsy centre for presurgical evaluation. Comprehensive neurophysiology, structural neuroimaging, and neuropsychological and psychiatric assessment are regarded as essential elements. Invasive electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring in terms of subdural electrodes, depth electrodes, foramen ovale electrodes, and more advanced technique using stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) are strong armamentarium for epilepsy surgeon. Epilepsy surgery in terms of resection, disconnection, or neuro-modulation should be recommended after a multi-disciplinary agreement.

Authors: Dongre Aman , Sogani Monika , Sonu Kumar , Syed Zainab , Sharma Gopesh
Published: October 2020

Pollution caused by chemical and dairy effluent is a major concern worldwide. Dairy wastewaters are the most challenging to treat because of the presence of various pollutants in them. The characteristics of effluent like temperature, color, pH, Dissolved Oxygen, Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), dissolved solids, suspended solids, chloride, sulfate, oil, and grease depend solely on the volume of milk processed and the form of finished produce. It is difficult to select an efficient wastewater treatment method for the dairy wastewaters because of their selective nature in terms of pH, flow rate, volume, and suspended solids. Thus there exists a clear need for a technology or a combination of technologies that would efficiently treat the dairy wastewaters. This chapter explains the energy-generating microbial fuel cell or MFC technologies for dairy wastewaters treatment having different designs of MFCs, mechanism of action, different electrode materials, their surface modification, operational parameters, applications and outcomes delivered through the technology in reducing the COD, BOD, suspended solids and other residues present in the wastewaters. The chapter also elaborates on the availability of various natural low-cost anode materials which can be derived from agricultural wastes. The current chapter elaborates on MFC technology and its tools used for dairy wastewater treatment, providing useful insight for integrating it with existing conventional wastewater treatment methods to achieve the degradation of various dairy pollutants including emerging micropollutants.

Authors: Nasta Luigi , Pirolo Luca
Published: October 2020

In these recent years, museum institutions are facing challenges such as deepening diversity among audiences and within the workforce, shifting authority and keeping pace with the creation of a digital offering to be provided in the new shared economy. Additionally, museums cannot just deliver knowledge as information anymore. They are forced to seek to be relevant and meaningful for the audiences and the society. Thus, a visitor-centered approach needs to be developed. The design thinking framework can help museum professionals to face the challenges they handle in today’s world. Indeed, this approach is focused on people and not on a specific product or service. The goal is to understand the needs of customers, their wishes and, based on this information, find the best solution to respond to the type of problem identified or the strategy to be developed. For this reason, the ratio of this discipline provides that people are stimulated to find alternative, creative, and innovative solutions designed and built on the reality of the facts and not dictated by instinct. The aim of this chapter is to investigate the characteristics of the design thinking approach and to analyze how this framework can be implemented in museum institutions.

Published: October 2020

Climate change (CC) increases the frequency of flood and drought and is a significant threat to smallholder rice farming in Indonesia. Adapting to these changes is crucial to minimize the damages to the Indonesian food system. Accordingly, the Indonesian government has formulated National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) to mitigate the effect of climate change on priority sectors, including rice farming. To this end, the Indonesian government included climate change adaptation into the National Development Plan (2019–2024). Selecting the appropriate beneficiaries of this program is crucial to improve the efficacy of Indonesian climate policy. In the case of rice farming, farmers with a high probability to adapt are the appropriate beneficiaries of this program. Thus, this chapter aimed to identify the characteristics of Indonesian smallholder rice farmers with a high probability to adapt to climate change. To this end, this chapter used the findings of the study on 87,330 rice farmers in Indonesia. Education, gender, land tenure security, presence of irrigation infrastructure, application of chemical fertilizer, cropping system, access to extension services, and participation in farmer group are significant determinants of adaptation practices. The finding suggests that prioritizing farmers based on these characteristics are crucial to improve the efficacy of climate policy.

Enformasyon teknolojileri günümüz yaşam koşullarının oluşmasında önemli bir role sahiptir. Bu teknolojilerin giderek yaygınlaşması pek çok işin ve yaşamsal sürecin iyileşmesine yardımcı olmaktadır. Bu sayede birçok iş sürecinin hız, zaman ve mekansal bağlamda daha iyiye doğru gittiği görülmektedir. Öte yandan yeni tip koronavirüs (COVID-19) Çin’den tüm dünyaya yayılarak küresel çapta bir pandemiye dönüşmüştür. Aralık ayından günümüze halen devam etmekte olan pandemi süreci pek çok olumsuz durumu da beraberinde getirmiştir. İlk vakanın ortaya çıktığı Çin’de ise vaka artış hızı durma noktasına gelmiş, normalleşme sürecine girilmiş ve bu süreç devam etmektedir. Çin’de bu durumun yaşanmasında kuşkusuz ki enformasyon teknolojilerinin katkısı yadsınamaz bir gerçektir. Telefon uygulamaları, 5G teknolojisi, bulut bilişim, algoritmalar, yapay zeka, büyük veri, nesnelerin interneti gibi teknolojiler pandemi sürecinde sıkça kullanılan enformasyon teknolojileri olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışma ile Çin örneğinde bu durumun incelemesi yapılarak enformasyon teknolojilerinin pandemi sürecindeki önemi yapılan literatür ve çeşitli kaynak taraması ile ortaya konmaya çalışılmaktadır.

Yeni medya teknolojilerinin gelişimi sosyal medya ortamında etkileşim düzeylerine de aynı oranda etki etmektedir. Fiziksel mesafelerin öneminin kaybolduğu ağ toplumunda, sosyal medya kullanım seviyesindeki artış oldukça yüksek bir noktaya ulaşmıştır. Bireyin gündelik hayatın sorunlarından kaçmak için sosyal medya ortamında etkileşimde bulunma isteği, hayata ilişkin kriz durumlarında daha etkin şekilde ortaya çıkmaktadır. Çalışma kapsamında, Covid 19 pandemisinin birey üzerinde oluşturduğu olumsuz etkilerden kurtulmak amacıyla, bireyin sosyal medyada ürettiği mizah odaklı içeriklerin ve bu mizahın diğer sosyal medya kullanıcıları tarafından aldığı etkileşimi saptamak amacıyla Instagram’da yer alan yüksek takipçili “cezmikalorifer” ve “saykodelipaylasimlarr” isimli iki fenomen hesabın pandemi sürecindeki gönderilerinin nicel içerik analizi yapılmış, elde edilen bulgularda pandemi döneminde bireylerin mizah konulu etkileşimlerde bulundukları, bu etkileşimlerin sokağa çıkma yasağının ilk zamanlarında daha yüksek oranda olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
Grammatikalisering af type-konstruktioner og pseudo-partitiver i dansk
Authors: Müller Henrik Høeg , Boye Kasper , Mørch Elisabeth Agerbo
Published: October 2020

The aim of this paper is to argue that Danish type-noun binominals (en slags cykel ‘a kind of bike’) and pseudo-partitive binominals (et stykke ost ‘a piece of cheese’) with the formal structure [N1 + N2] have followed analogical patterns of grammaticalization both structurally and functionally. On the basis of a study of 2946 tokens of slags ‘kind’ in the construction EN/ET-slags-S(noun), retrieved from KorpusDK, we discuss agreement features and polysemy in relation to the fact that slags occurs more frequently as a modifier marking ‘association’ than with its original taxonomic meaning. Against this background, we suggest that ultimately N2 is winning the competition for discourse prominence over slags, which, thus, is in the process of converting from a lexical to a grammatical element.
“Difficult to assess in this manner”: An “ineffective” showing sequence in post-surgery video consultation
Authors: Stommel Wyke , Licoppe Christian , Stommel Martijn
Published: October 2020

There is a growing interest in telecare, particularly in the kind of “invisible work” involved in teleconsultations (Oudshoorn, 2011). One dimension of this work is the “sensory work” in support of clinical examination at a distance (Lupton & Maslen, 2017). More research is needed to understand how such sensory work is done in and as multimodal interaction (Mondada, 2019). Recent work has shown the extent to which such sensory work could be re-mediated, despite challenges due to the technology, in particular the asymmetry of sensory access (Seuren et al., 2020; Stommel, Van Goor, & Stommel, 2020). In earlier research, we found that showings occurred less frequently in post-surgery consultations conducted through video rather than face-to-face (Stommel et al., 2020). Moreover, in spite of the apparent relevance of visual access, it seemed as if showings were even being evaded. In this article, we use a conversation analytical perspective to examine one case of emergent showing sequences in a video-mediated post-surgery consultation, in order to track its sequential organisation, which develops towards an eventually inadequate showing. The case comes from a set of post-surgery consultations with patients who had undergone tumour resection (abdominal surgery) two weeks earlier. We first present a case from an in-person consultation, in which a showing sequence is inserted smoothly and closed with mutual assessments. Next, we focus on the VMC-showing, which is also inserted in the context of a patient question concerning the surgery scars. We analyse the context leading up to the showing, the showing itself and the abandonment of the showing sequence. We found that, first, the showing is not initiated at the earliest sequential opportunity, but is requested with an orientation to potential barriers. Second, screen-based evidential boundaries emerge, as the surgeon has no visual access to what is shown, in response to which the surgeon employs remedial action. Third, the surgeon moves out of the showing to an instructed touch-sequence – in other words, displays of visual appreciation are neither produced nor pursued. Upon the surgeon’s closing formulation that it was “difficult to assess in this manner”, the contextual factor of visibility is eventually explicitly claimed to be “ineffective” for medical assessment. These findings might explain the scarcity of showing sequences in our data. More generally, they raise questions about (the limits of) sensory work in video consultations.
Mental trauma and healing. Existential choice or conscious building of own life (based on the book “The Choice” by Edith Eva Eger)
Authors: Rozin Vadim Markovich
Published: October 2020

This article discusses two fundamental; topics ‒ the nature of mental trauma and the story of recovery of Edith Eva Eger, reflected in the book “The Choice”. However, in interpretation and comprehension of book material, the author leans on his original “theory of mental realities”. Within the framework of this theory, the characteristics is given to mental trauma and ways to overcome it. The two key methods are highlighted: re-experiences and mimicry of the events of the realities lived through by a person. The author believes that it would help better understanding of the twists and turns of the fate of Edith Eva Eger described in the book. The following methodology was applied in the course of this work: articulation of the problems, comparative and situational analysis, construction of concepts, analysis and interpretation of texts. As a result, the author was able to demonstrate applicability of the theory of mental realities, introduce the concept of mental trauma, determine the two main ways of recovery (re-experiences that suggest direct reproduction of that underlies the trauma, and mimicry of these facts with the current reality), as well as theoretically comprehend the by Edith Eva Eger “The Choice”.

Introduction: Chronic diseases stand out on the world stage due to the impact they cause on population morbidity and mortality. In the case of persons deprived of their liberty, the situation is intensified by the restriction in the choice of food and access to physical exercise. Objective: To identify the risk factors that influence the eating habits of overweight and obese incarcerated women. Methods: Cross-sectional study, conducted with 31 participants. Data collection took place in the second half of 2018, comprising individual interviews of incarcerated women using a semi-structured questionnaire and measurement of anthropometric measures. The data were systematized in electronic spreadsheets and statistical analysis was performed in a descriptive way. The study complied with ethical standards from national guidelines. Results: A greater prevalence of overweight and obesity was identified in young, multiparous women, with low education and lower income. Most used tobacco and had less than a year in prison. Despite being overweight and obese, they felt good about their body, which may be reflecting on their lifestyle, through sedentary lifestyle, self-care deficit and consumption of products and foods with low nutritional value. Conclusion: Overweight and obesity are multifactorial and are not related only to behavioral aspects. It is necessary to carry out new research approaches that clarify the health weaknesses in prison, making it possible to provide a better quality of life for this population group.

Authors: Mocelin Helaine Jacinta Salvador , Primo Cândida Caniçali , Laignier Mariana Rabello
Published: October 2020

Introduction: Human infection caused by the new Coronavirus is a public health emergency of international importance, whose clinical spectrum ranges from mild symptoms to severe acute respiratory syndrome. However, there is weak information about the clinical presentations of Coronavirus in newborns and children.
Objective: To describe the recommendations about breastfeeding during SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Methods: Scope review study.
Results: The discussion on viral transmission through breastfeeding is controversial and the recommendations vary according to experts of different countries.
Conclusion: The scientific knowledge currently available does not allow to accurately inform the best conduct in the breastfeeding process, making each country decide the strategy that best adapts to its reality. Implications for the practice: It is important that the health team has a close eye to identify atypical signs and symptoms during this process to act preventively in the face of possible complications.
